A/N: I begged, and I get to use the computer, sometimes. So I might as well answer someone's question, which will be at the end of the chapter. Lol.

Last time on Chapter 35...
In the end, Miss Monday gets unconscious and falls on the ground "AGHHH! He beat Miss Monday on pure strength! That's impossible!" A bounty hunter shouts in disbelief as Zoro lets go of Miss Monday's head turns to the bounty hunters.
"Shall we continue, Baroque Works? A fight's no mere game, you know?" Zoro says with a grin as he licks his lips in excitement.
"… I got it! That wanted poster must be a mistake on the Marines' part!" Mr. 8 says as he frowns.
"Of course! I can understand if he was worth the 150 million beli…" Mr. 9 pauses "He must be their real captain! No wonder… I thought it was quite strange, that their grinning idiot of a captain was supposed to be worth 150 million…!"
Miss Wednesday only stays quiet as she frowns 'Luffy-nii's the real captain!' Miss Wednesday says in her thoughts as she remembers how strong Luffy was.
OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO
Luffy gets a tick mark as he heard Mr. 8 and Mr. 9. "Well that hurts, they thought I wasn't the captain? Am I that weak looking?" Luffy says as he drinks the sake that he took while Zoro was fighting them.
"How disgraceful…" Mr. 8 says as he looks at the beaten bounty hunters then at Zoro again. "To be beaten to this extent by a single pirate swordsman…" Zoro smirks as he looks down at the 4 Baroque Works' members "As proud members entrusted especially by the boss to watch over this town, we have a matter of responsibility to worry about." Mr. 8 says as he magically has a saxophone, he blows it and a blast of bullets came out towards Zoro.
Zoro flips backwards "Whoa!" Zoro says in fake surprise as Mr. 8 stops shooting.
"Let's go, Miss Wednesday!" Mr. 9 says as he runs towards the building.
Miss Wednesdaybites her pinky "Yes, Mr. 9!" Miss Wednesday shouts as Mr. 9 jumps at the building "Come give me a hand, Carue!"
Carue is a large, yellow duck. His wings are tipped with black (though this is not always present), as are his tail feathers. As the name implies, he has a spot on his bill. He wears a blue chullo with a white pattern on it and pink goggles with blue lenses. "QUACK!" Carue shouts as he proceeds to raise his right wing casually while looking at Miss Wednesday.
"NOT LITERALLY!" Miss Wednesday says as she makes a funny angry face.
OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO
After Carue running towards Miss Wednesday, Miss Wednesday rides Carue "Alright! Show your famous speed that can outrun even a leopard!" Miss Wednesday says as Carue quacks.
"QUAAACK!" Carue shouts as he does the opposite. For a moment, Miss Wednesday looks at Carue, confused why he wasn't moving.
"WHO THE HELL TOLD YOU TO SIT DOWN!?" Miss Monday shouts in anger as she hits Carue's head, Carue quacks in surprise and pain.
Zoro sweatdrops "…The hell?" Zoro says as he quietly looks at the mini unplanned comedy sketch.
"HAHAHAHA! Are you sure you should be looking somewhere else right now?" Mr. 9's smug tone was heard on top of Zoro. Zoro looks up to see Mr. 9 doing some acrobatic stuff "I WONDER IF YOU CAN KEEP UP WITH MY ACROBATIC FINESSE?" Mr. 9 says as he keeps flipping towards Zoro "Nekketsu Nine…" Mr. 9 magically has a steel bat, his pinkies up. Of course, Zoro saw this and used his Sandai Kitetsu to fight it "KONJOU BAT!" After Zoro dealing with the impact, Mr. 9 proceeds to flip on top of Zoro and effectively hit Zoro in the head "HAHA! THESE ARE METAL BATS! BE CAREFUL NOT TO LET YOUR SWORDS GET CHIPPED!" While Mr. 9 was laughing as Zoro, who was just standing, looks to be thinking for a moment. Though he had no injury in his head. "Hm? What's wrong? Too scared to move?"
Zoro unsheathes Sandai Kitetsu and now is holding Wadou Ichimonji. He proceeds to threateningly put it close at Mr. 9's face, who screamed in surprise. Zoro proceeds to move the Wadou Ichimonji and for Mr. 9 to sloppily dodge all of it using his steel bats "What happened to your acrobatic finesse?" Zoro says mockingly as Mr. 9 flips back again.
"OH I'LL SHOW IT TO YOU ALRIGHT!" Mr. 9 as he smirks at Zoro while he was half way on going down "JUST BE SURE TO KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN!" Mr. 9 says before he notices that something was wrong. "Ah-"
"Ha." Zoro says as with a little smug tone on it as Mr. 9 falls in the building with tears falling into his eyes. By the time Mr. 9 falls, Zoro looks at the other side with a bored face "Isn't there anyone more competent?" Zoro goes down to look for someone who can fight decently.
"If you want someone competent, then look no further!" Miss Wednesday says Zoro turns his head to see Miss Wednesday and Carue. Miss Wednesday was on top of Carue, standing. While Carue was casually drinking water that was connected to him. "Prepare yourself, Mr. Bushido!" Miss Wednesday raises her arms up and her hands on 'X'. "Now… Gaze deeply at my body…" Miss Wednesday dances her hips to sides slowly. Causing Zoro to become dizzy from the movement of the spirals on her dress. This leaves them open for more attacks. "Miwaku Memai Dance ( Captivating Dance of Dizziness )!"
Zoro grits his teeth "UGH!" Zoro says as he falls down in his knees. As soon as Zoro fell in his knees, Miss Wednesday slowly rides Carue normally.
"Fufu, that's a nice boy." Miss Wednesday says as she puts a peacock slasher on her right hand's pinky and swings it around. " Now for the finish… "Miss Wednesday smirks " Kujakki slasher ( Peacock Slasher )! Let's go, Carue!" Carue quacks in agreement as Miss Wednesday keeps swinging the peacock slasher in her pinky. Instead of going to the right way, Carue goes to Zoro's right side. Carue should've gone to Zoro's left side for the peacock slasher to hit Zoro. "YOU'RE GOING THE WRONG WAY!" Miss Wednesday smacks Carue's head using her free left hand with a comical angry face. Zoro finally got out in the effect and watches Carue and Miss Wednesday keep going straight. "STOP! I'M GONNA FALL!"
Zoro blushes a little as he watches Carue and Miss Wednesday "I feel embarrassed at myself for having to fight these losers…" Zoro says as he sweatdrops.
"IGARAPPA! " Mr. 8 suddenly appears while blowing his saxophone.
"Whoa!" Zoro shouts with no surprise in his tone as he jumps back, he successfully stands up as he runs to the left side, Mr. 8's bullets following it.
Mr. 8 stops in surprise "Cutting a hole to escape below…" Mr. 8 says as he pauses "How futile…" Unknown to him, Zoro actually dashed towards a house, and dashes towards its back door. "Allow me to show you, the terror of my true strength."
OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO
Zoro hides on a house's back "That shotgun's a real problem… How can I close the gap to go in for the close attack…?" Zoro asks to himself as he sighs. The four wasn't a strong opponent, but they sure were persistent.
"DAHHHHH!" A familiar person shouts in anger as he gets out from the pile of woods that was covering him. Zoro looks at him with a bored expression. The guys keep appearing in different places. "How dare you harm me to this extent…! I shan't forgive you!" Mr. 9 says as he still has his metal bats, his pinkies still up.
Zoro sweatdrops "But you hurt yourself on your own." Zoro says casually as Mr. 9 raises his left metal bat and his right metal bat straight to him.
"KATTOBASE SHIKOMI BAT ( Hidden Home-Run Bat )!" Mr. 9 says as his right metal bat had a hidden metal rope that disconnected the barrel. Zoro failed to anticipate this since he sensed Mr. 8, Miss Wednesday, Carue, and a certain Strawhat. Zoro grits his teeth in surprise while Mr. 9 makes a smug smirk "HAHAHA! I'VE SEALED UP ONE OF YOUR ARMS!"
"There you are." Mr. 8 says as he was on top of a building, looking at Zoro.
"Iron wire?" Zoro says calmly since he can break away whenever he wants.
"NOW, MR. 8!" Mr. 9 shouts as he tightens the rope. Mr. 9 had the other side of the rope in his left arm to keep his enemy stuck. "HAHAHAHA! I won't let you escape!"
"EXACTLY!" Zoro turns to see Miss Wednesday, a sword on her right hand and her left hand on Sanji's collar. The cook was still sleeping with a blissed face which made Zoro have a tick of annoyance on his forehead. "Move even a single muscle, and consider your precious friend's life forfeit!" Miss Wednesday says with a forced smirk 'I'm so sorry, Luffy-nii…! But I know they'll be safe, as long as you're here!' Miss Wednesday says in her thoughts, she still remembers Luffy missing, so she knows he's somewhere close, watching them silently.
Sanji snores as his body was being supported by Carue's head. Mr. 9 side-looks at Miss Wednesday with a grin "HAHAHA! Nice, Miss Wednesday! Not only can he not escape anymore, but he won't be able to attack either!" Mr. 9 says as Sanji snores again.
Zoro gets a tick of annoyance on his forehead again "That Shitty Cook could die for all I care." Zoro says as he looks at Mr. 9 and Miss Wednesday, who looked dumbfounded and shocked at his words. He won't say it out loud, but he cared for everyone, Sanji included.
Apparently, Mr. 8 didn't hear it "PREPARE FOR FIRE!" Mr. 8 suddenly yells as he pulls his necktie strings to the point the strings that he was pulling was longer than the '0' part. "PREPARATION COMPLETE!"
Zoro turns to Mr. 8 as it piqued his interest "Preparation?" Zoro says as Mr. 9 was slightly pulled because he moved his arms to turn at Mr. 8.
"Tighten… Mr. 8 slowly says as he puts his thumbs on the small '0' part of his necktie "IGARAPPAPPA!" Once he pulled it, it exposed the gun barrels hidden in the curls of his hair, he attacks by pulling the loops of his necktie to fire explosive bullets.
Zoro widens his eyes in surprise, he wasn't expecting that. "What is he, an action figure!?" Zoro says as he pulls his roped arm and holds the rope with his free hand, pulling it to him.
"AHH!" Mr. 9 screams as he gets pulled, he couldn't do anything to stop Zoro.
"WHA-!?" Miss Wednesday gasps, not expecting for that to happen. She totally forgot she had a hostage with her.
Zoro pulls Mr. 9 up towards the bullets. Mr. 9 was sweating rapidly "Ah-" While Mr. 9 was blown up, Zoro fell down. Zoro starts to get up again and pulls poor Mr. 9, who was bruised, some of his teeth missing, obviously unconscious, towards Miss Wednesday next.
"AH!" Miss Wednesday shouts in horror as Carue's eyes widen and Miss Wednesday could only protect herself from the impact. Carue quacked while Miss Wednesday screamed in horror as they were thrown away.
When Zoro was finally free from the ropes, he was being shot again "IGARAPPAPPA!" Mr. 8 shouts again as Zoro rolls back.
When Zoro was standing, he runs towards Sanji, who was still sleeping. "WAKE UP…" Zoro shouts as he proceeds to jumps at Sanji's face, considering Sanji was sitting despite sleeping. "YOU SHITTY COOK!" Zoro shouts as he puts his foot at Sanji's face, and jump towards Mr. 8.
"What is he…?" Mr. 8 pauses as Zoro lets Sanji fall as he jumps at the building to reach Mr. 8. Before Mr. 8 got time to react, Zoro slices his chest. Zoro falls down gently on the floor as he unsheathes Wadou.
"Whew." Zoro sighs "Finished." Zoro says as he looks at Sanji, who was still sleeping. Zoro sweatdrops as he sees his footprint in Sanji's face. "Now… Where did Luffy go?" Zoro says as he looks around.
OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO
The bounty hunters huff and pants as they kept running "To think that agents with a number less than 12 were defeated…" One of the bounty hunters says as some of them talk.
"I never thought those four would actually lose…!"
"But… Where do we even run away to now?"
"Anywhere's fine, just not here!"
"Let's just hide ourselves until those pirates leave this isla-!" Before the bounty hunter could continue, they stopped on their tracks as they see a large, black-feathered vulture, with white feathers toward the neck. The vulture's skin is pink, and her beak is a light yellow. The vulture wears a yellow aviator cap dotted with red flowers and black goggles. Another one was seen beside the vulture, a small, brown-furred otter with white fur around his snout. He wears a long-sleeved, light blue coat with purple dots, as well as black sunglasses.
"AGHH!" The bounty hunters shouts in fear "IT'S THE UNLUCKIES, FRIDAY THE 13TH!" The two was standing on a wooden direction sign that was pointing on the left side, saying "Sapoten Graveyard" The bounty hunters suddenly panics in fear.
"W-w-wait… W-we weren't umm… trying to r-run away or nothin'…" A bounty hunter says an obvious lie as another one comes up with one again.
"We were just gonna go to the w-wash room…!" A bounty hunter says as they made lots of hand gestures. Of course, the Unluckies sees through their lies as two's glasses shines with a yellow diamond comically showing on the end. The two jumps towards the bounty hunters.
"GYAAAA!" The bounty hunters yelled in fear as the two Unluckies was halfway near them.
"Wait…!" A girl's voice was suddenly heard. The Unluckies stopped and looked behind them. "Even though it's the dead of the night right now, this town is quite rowdy."
"Hmph." A man's voice was next "I can't believe we were ordered to come all the way out here to the front lines…"
"W-WHA!? WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE!?" The bounty hunters yelled, though the two stayed quiet. As the bounty hunters had enough, they raised their guns and pointed it at the two "I SAID WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE!"
While the bounty hunters raised their guns, the Unluckies remained silent, though it was obvious they were surprised that the two were there, as there was sweat forming in their faces.
"Miss Valentine."
"Mr. 5"
OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO
"Down you go." Zoro says as he throws Mr. 8 and Miss Monday down into the ground, which caused a little impact, considering they were on top of a building. "There, that takes care of the clean-up." Zoro sits down 'Either he's gone out of my range or he's just too good on hiding his Haki.' Zoro takes out a sake magically. "Ah…" He glugs down his sake "It's become a nice quiet night again..." As he glugs down once again, he hears a sound, which made him turn to where he heard the sound "Two? Well, at least they're stronger than the last ones I fought."
While Zoro was relaxing, Mr. 8 was ignoring all the pain as he huffs 'I can't… Just die here…!' Mr. 8 encourages himself to get up, at least a little bit with a help of a wood.
"How pathetic, you lost to a single swordsman." Mr. 5's voice was heard, making Mr. 8 flinch in surprise. Mr. 8 makes a swift turn to see them, it was obvious that he was surprised.
"Mr. 5!?" Mr. 8 says as he trembles a little from the pain " Miss Valentine!? "Mr. 5 is a tall, dark-skinned man with black hair in short spiky dreadlocks. He wears a brown trench coat with a pink cravat and a pair of sunglasses, regardless of the time of day. Like the other officers, his number is shown both on his clothing and his body. He has a '5' on his coat; this number is also tattooed on his right shoulder. Then Miss Valentine wears a yellow and orange hat, as well as a yellow dress with a lemon-like pattern, lemon earrings, and white high-heeled shoes. She is also seen carrying a bright green parasol with blue stripes.
"Are you idiots just playing around?" Mr. 5 pauses "Well?" Mr. 5 adds a mocking tone, despite his calm façade.
"KYAHAHAHA! Give them a break, you can't expect them to be as capable as we are." Miss Valentine says, also using the mocking tone.
"Did you just come to laugh at us…?" Mr. 8 says weakly as he trembles from the pain.
"That's one reason." Mr. 5 says, not showing any signs of helping Mr. 8.
"KYAHAHAHA. We've obviously come here for business." Miss Valentine says, there was no sign of her intending to help Mr. 8 and the others.
"Ku…" Mr. 9 slowly laughs as he stands up a little "Hahahaha! With you two backing us up, those pirates stand no chance…!" Mr. 9 says as Miss Wednesday pants, stand up the same way Mr. 9 did.
"That's right… So please, go crush that troublesome swordsman!" Miss Wednesday says as she really didn't mean it. As much as she wanted to hit that swordsman even once, the swordsman was still part of Luffy's crew. Besides, it's not like they know that the two knew each other anyway.
"Stop joking around." Mr. 5 says as he makes a disgusted face, the three was surprised. Weren't they suppose to back them up? "You think we're your back-ups?"
"You honestly believed that we'd be ordered to come all the way out here at the edge of the Grand Line, just to help you fight off a pesky swordsman?" Miss Valentines says in a mocking and surprised tone. "KYAHAHAHA!"
"… What!?" Mr. 9 says, not believing what he just heard. "Then what business have you come here for…?"
"Surely you must have some hunches…" Mr. 5 pauses "A crime severe enough that the Boss would personally dispatch us all the way out here…"
"The Boss' direct words were, 'My secret has been found out.'." Miss Valentine pauses "Of course, we have no idea what that secret may be but…"
"Our organization's creed is 'Secrecy'…" Mr. 5 says as the aura around him suddenly changed "No one is allowed to pry into the real identities of our members." Mr.5 crosses his arms "Thus, it's inexcusable for our Boss' real identity to be known."
"After investigating the matter, into the matter, it seems an agent of a certain kingdom has infiltrated into Baroque Works." Miss Valentine says as Mr. 9 gets shocked.
"WHA…!" Mr. 9 suddenly stands up, panicking. "W-WAIT! I KNOW I WEAR A CROWN AND ALL BUT I'M NOT REALLY A KING!"
"We know it's not you." Miss Valentine says as she gives Mr. 9 an unimpressed look. Miss Wednesday has sweats forming on her face and Carue quacked.
'They've found out about everything…!' Mr. 8 thought. He was now panicking and sweats forming on his face. 'Is this the end!?'
While they were talking about important matters, Zoro was looking down on them since he was on top of the building "Looks like Shitty Cook is in a dangerous position." Zoro says as he wipes off the sake that was dripping down his face.
"The spy we're talking about,-" Mr. 5 smirks "Is the Alibasta Kingdom's-"
"DIE!" Mr. 8 suddenly stood up "IGARAPAPPA!" He attacks Mr. 5, now completely hostile to Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine now that they have found out. That they… 'I won't let you harm her!'
As the bullets shot Mr. 5, smoke came out. "Mr. 8!?" Mr. 9 says, surprised of what happened.
'I swear it on my honor as the head of Alabasta's Royal Guards!' Mr. 8 thought as the smoke kept flowing out.
"IGARAM!" Miss Wednesday shouts the name of Mr. 8, now known as Igaram, in surprise and worry.
"Igaram?" Mr. 8 though, was completely clueless.
"PLEASE RUN AWAY!" Igaram yells as sweat forms on his face.
"How futile." Miss Valentine says as she was suddenly on top of Miss Wednesday. "KYAHAHAHA!" She goes down, hitting Miss Wednesday's head using her right knee.
"AHH!" Miss Wednesday shouts in pain as Miss Valentine laughs, Miss Wednesday's hair falls down while Miss Valentine goes back up in the air once again when Miss Wednesday attempted to hurt Miss Valentine. "Ugh!" When she looked behind her, Igaram was shot. "Ah!" Miss Wednesday turns to Igaram, worrying about his health. " Igaram! " Igaram falls with his head first. "Igaram!"
"The name of the spy, is Igaram, the head of Alibasta Kingdom's Royal Guards!" Miss Valentine pauses "And the second spy…"
"Is none other than Alabasta's princess herself, Nefertari Vivi!" Mr. 5 says, showing a picture of Miss Wednesday, or Vivi's picture.
Vivi grits her teeth in anger. "You monster!"
"Y-YOU WERE A PRINCESS, MISS WEDNESDAY!?" Mr. 9 suddenly goes on his knees, his hands down, flat.
"NOW'S NOT THE TIME FOR THIS, MR.9!" Vivi shouts in anger.
While the others were fighting, Zoro takes Sanji by Sanji's clothes' collar. "Jeez, some noisy night this is…" Zoro pauses as he goes away "Don't mind me, keep fighting amongst yourselves."
"Under the direct orders of our Baroque Works' Boss, we shall hereby eliminate you two!" Mr. 5 says as he puts his index finger in… His nose…
"DON'T YOU UNDERESTIMATE ME!" Vivi shouts as she takes out her Peacock Slasher and spins it. Suddenly, Mr. 9 goes in front of Vivi. "Ah!"
"I may not exactly understand what's going on…" Mr. 9 smiles, his bat on his hands, his pinky upwards. "But you're still the same comrade-in-arms that I've partnered for a long time. I'll hold them off for you so hurry up and run away, Miss Wednesday!" Mr. 9 says as Vivi widens her eyes.
"Mr. 9!" Vivi shouts his name, knowing it'd be suicide.
"Bye-bye baby!" Mr. 9 shouts as he flips towards Mr. 5 "NEKKETSU NINE KONJOU BAT! ( Hot-blooded Gutsy Bat )"
"Mr. 9!" Vivi shouts his name, attempting to stop Mr. 9 for the last time.
"Hmph. The only thing that matters to us is the successful completion of our mission." Mr. 5 says as he takes out a… Booger… "Such trivial things as compassion for one's comrades will only invite death…" He positions the booger into a bullet-like position "Know your limits! Nose Fancy…"
"RYAHHH!" Mr. 9 cries as he attempts to finish Mr. 5 with a hit.
"CANNON!" Mr. 5 yells as he flicks the booger, making it into an explosion. It surprised Vivi.
Zoro sweatdrops "Damn, that's one dangerous booger alright…" Suddenly, someone grabs his right leg "AH! YOU AGAIN!?"
Igaram looks at Zoro in the eye "MR. SWORDSMAN…! SEEING YOUR IMPRESSIVE STRENGTH, PLEASE ALLOW ME TO MAKE AN UNREASONABLE REQUEST!"
"Let me go! I ain't gonna help you just because you suck up to me!" Zoro says as he tries to shake off Igaram, to no avail.
"THOSE TWO ARE 'Ability Users' AND IT IS BEYOND MY POWER TO STOP THEM! PLEASE! PLEASE PROTECT THE PRINCESS IN MY STEAD!" Igaram pauses "I BEG OF YOU!"
"Carue! Run for it!" Vivi shouts as Carue runs and quacks.
"She ran away." Miss Valentine says, putting her right hand to her hips.
"She can't escape from us…" Mr. 5 says as he then next, runs. "AFTER HER, MISS VALENTINE!"
"ROGER, MR. 5! KYAHAHAHA!" Miss Valentine says as she flies in the air once again.
"IF YOU SUCCESSFULLY SEND HER BACK TO ALABASTA, A KINGDOM LOCATED FAR EAST…" Igaram coughs "I SWEAR YOU WILL BE REWARDED GREATLY…! I BEG OF YOU SIR! PLEASE PROTECT THE PRINCESS!"
Zoro gets a tick mark of annoyance at his forehead "I'll kill you if you don't shut up."
"Greatly rewarded, you say?" Zoro soon sweatdrops, knowing it was Nami, she would be greatly interested.
"What?" Igaram stops begging and looks at the girl who answered.
"Alright then!" Nami says as she grins How about a billion beli then?"
"Nami!" Zoro shouts as Nami was making things more worst for him.
A/N: The end! I at least was able to end this chapter, it took quite a while though. Sorry for those who waited!
By the way, for those who didn't understand the Haki-to-Zoro stuff. Zoro was trying to know his limits, and at the same time where he would need to use Haki, he would train his Haki too, you know.
