Ms. Goldenweek's Operation: Free Baroque Works Pt IV

-x-

"Stop wiggling!" Ayako hissed at Mr. 3. The two of them were tied up and slung over Mr. 2's shoulders. Mr. 2 had slipped into a desert outfit and also wore the face of a slim man with hallowed cheeks, dark blue hair and a bushy dark blue mustache. Ayako's paints were stashed in a satchel that Mr. 2 had on the same shoulder she was on.

"And you keep quiet," Mr. 2 reminded her, "We've just got to get through town to meet the Marines that we're going to make a mockery of." Ayako nodded as Mr. 2 walked down the main street of Rain Base with the Mr. 3 Pair bound and slung over his shoulders.

Alabasta had a population of ten million people (before the war) and Mr. 2's Copy Copy Fruit Powers allowed him to blend in seamlessly.

"That's right!" the disguised Mr. 2 boasted to people as he passed the town that had formerly been Crocodile's home base, "I caught these two Baroque Works Agents hiding out in the desert! I'm off to meet the Marines to get my reward!"

"Well done sir!" a woman congratulated him.

"Serves those punks right after what they tried to do to this country!" a man insisted.

"Stop by the bar on the end of the street when you're done," another man requested, "We'll buy you a drink to celebrate."

"Sure," Mr. 2 agreed, "It's great to see everyone coming together like this!"

"You've got that right," a third man agreed, "We might have suffered through a war orchestrated by that evil Crocodile but now Alabasta is stronger than ever!"

"Yar har!" Mr 2 gave out a fake laugh that seemed to fit his new character. "That's the truth!"

Ayako was about to reprimand him for drawing attention to them but then she was struck by another thought, '"evil Crocodile". When they got to the prison, how was she supposed to determine who was good and who was evil? Crocodile definitely was. But she couldn't honestly expect the other Officer Agents to just come out and tell her their deepest desires.

They left the main road and down an alley. But they were stopped by two men at the end.

"Oi, are you the guy that caught the Baroque Works Agents?"Ayako chanced a look over her shoulder and saw a strange man with gray hair, a mushroom stalk for a beard and heart-shaped sunglasses. He wore a standard blue Marine pants and a cap that were offset by a loud yellow shirt with purple marks that looked like the ones on a giraffe.

"I am," Mr. 2 confirmed.

"We were ordered to meet you here and take the prisoners to our ship ourselves," the other man explained. He was muscular with untidy pale violet hair, tanned skin and a scar on his right cheek. He wore a navy blue t-shirt and orange pants with plaid designs on them.

This wasn't good. Their plan hung on Mr. 2 being able to reach the ship and sneak aboard it.

"Oh, in my Snail Call I was told that I'd meet you at your ship," Mr. 2 pointed out. "Who're you guys anyway?"

"I'm Seaman Recruit Jango," the strange man proclaimed as he struck a pose, "Not to be confused with the former Pirate Captain 'One Two' Jango!"

"And I'm Seaman Recruit Fullbody," the violet haired man announced as he struck a pose that matched his partner's and revealed the knuckle duster on his right hand. "Captain Hina didn't want another Baroque Works Agent to escape us so she sent us, her most faithful and trusted men to ensure that the prisoners reached the ship."

"Actually, we had to beg and plead with her to let her do this," Jango reminded his partner, "After that disaster with the Straw Hats we have a lot to make up for."

"Don't tell them that you idiot!" Fullbody scolded him.

"Hold on," Mr. 2 protested, "I don't think I like this change of plans..."

"Aw, calm down," Jango tried to placate him. "You'll still get your reward money."

"Yeah, here it is," Fullbody added as held up a bag and shook it to reveal there was gold inside. "We'll give it to you, we just need ya to do one more thing for us."

Jango pulled a ring out from his shirt, "Point the prisoners towards me so I can put 'em to sleep to make sure they're safe for transportation and won't escape."

Mr. 2 slowly took Ayako and Mr. 3 off of his shoulders and turned them to face the two Marines. Crackers! Their whole plan was going to go up in smoke because of these two idiots.

Jango started to swing his ring in front of him, "Look at this ring and when I say 'One, Two, Jango' you'll fall asleep," Jango instructed. Ayako blinked as she watched the ring swing. Hypnotism. She'd have to avoid looking at it. "One! Two! JAAN-" Ayako yanked on Mr. 2's arm and pulled him downward so she broke both of their eye contact with the ring. "-GOOOO!"

FWA-FWA-FWUMP!

"Zzzzzzz..." Ayako opened her eyes to a surprise. Jango, Fullbody and Mr. 3 all fast asleep.

"What just happened?" Mr. 2 asked.

"That idiot put himself to sleep," Ayako realized, "Yeah! Our plan's going to go off perfectly because of these two idiots! Here's your disguise Mr. 2."

-x-

"We're back, Captain Hina!" Jango exclaimed as he and Fullbody carried the 'sleeping' Ayako and her actually sleeping former partner Mr. 3 up the gangplank to their ship.

"Are you proud of us, Captain Hina?" Fullbody asked, "Please say you are!"

"To be honest, Hina half-expected you bumbling fools to flub this up," a woman admitted. Ayako opened her eye a crack and spotted a tall woman with long pink-blonde hair wearing red lipstick and a purple suit with a white blouse underneath.

"Not this time!" Jango assured her as he struck a pose.

"This time we came through for you!" Fullbody insisted as he matched Jango's pose.

"I can't believe I'm saying then," Hina admitted, "But good job, you two. Hina's impressed."

"YEAH!" Jango and Fullbody cheered. Jango did a spin and started to pump his arm while Fullbody executed the same move less than half a second later.

"Stop that! Put those two in the holding cell," Captain Hina ordered, "You can dance on our way to the prison. Raise anchor, Black Cage Corps, let's set sail for Black Cage Prison."

Ayako grinned as Jango and Fullbody carried them across the deck to the holding cell.

Everything was going according to plan.

-x-

We've reached the half-way point. Things are going to pick up after this.

I decided to give the random prison that they break into in the original cover story a name. And since Hina is going to be the main antagonist of this fun little side-arc I decided to make it her prison. I think it makes sense for 'the Black Cage' to have a prison as her Marine Base.

'Till Next Time...

Peace!
