Oyabun Luffy's Detective Story - Axe-Head Family, friends or foes?
Chapter 6 - Business

Everyone in the Kazaguruma bar instantly looked up as they heard a scream.

"What was that?" Usopp wondered.

"It sounded like it came from just outside," Kirsty pointed out.

"Ah! A woman in peril? Not on my watch!" Sanji yelled as he instantly ran outside as Onami just sighed.

"Come on, let's see what all the fuss is all about," she said before they all followed in Sanji's direction outside.

"Th-Th-The Clown family! Where are you doing here?" a citizen cried as the entire Clown family stood outside of the Tomahawk bar with Axe and Devon at the entrance of it. Axe stood with his giant double-edged axe weapon outreached pointed at the crowd around them while Devon held Austin close to him, with his sword near to the young boy's neck.

"Get back, all of you!" Axe warned them, swinging his weapon around to keep them away.

"Anyone who ties to be a hero is have this kid's death on their conscious!" Devon threatened as he quickly picked up Austin and carried him inside the Tomahawk bar, with Axe shortly following, but not before smirking at turning back to his boss.

"This shouldn't take to long," Axe told him before disappearing into the Tomahawk bar with Devon, sliding the door shut behind them.

"Yeahaha, now that's more like it!" Buggy laughed as he sat on top on Richie watching the whole scene.

"Hey Buggy-sama, shouldn't we go in there with them?" Cabaji questioned.

"Don't wrong about it Cabaji, they've all ready rinsed panic and taken a hostage, I don't think they'll need our help," Buggy replied to them.

"That's not what I was worried about," Cabaji mumbled before different screams filled the air from inside the Tomahawk bar mixed with the sounds of things smashing up.

"Oh no!"

"What? Oh no!"

"Oh no!"

"Oh no!"

"OH NO! HOW COULD HAPPEN?!" another scream came after a little pause.

"That's enough…get out of here right now!"

"Shut up and had over all you're takings!" Axe's voice yelled.

While outside the Kazaguruma, Onami, Sanji, Usopp, Chopper and Kirsty stood there in shock.

"This is bad! I'm going to get Oyabun!" Usopp cried as he instantly ran off.

"Why? They had this coming to them!" Onami pointed out as Chopper looked up to her in shock.

"Onami, that's a terrible thing to say!" Chopper pleaded to her.

"Sounds like things are really bad in there," Kirsty commented, seeming a lot more serious.

"Let's hope speedy-bastard can protect those ladies in there," Sanji replied, before another scream came out from inside Tomahawk.

"You want some as well?"

"Ah! Not the face! Not the face!!!" the scream, with sounded a lot like DJ, came as the walls of the bar suddenly shook.

"That's it, I'm going in!!!" Sanji yelled as Kirsty suddenly looked over at him, with her eyes widened a little as he was about to run in.

"Wait, Sanji-kun!" Kirsty cried as she suddenly grabbed him by the waist, surprising him and the others as he looked down at her. "It's to dangerous, please don't go," she pleaded with him, as Kirsty looked up at Sanji with her big sparkly eyes.

"YES KIRSTY-CHAN!!!" Sanji instantly replied, going straight into love-cook mode, totally ignoring everything going on around him.

"Oh boy," Onami mumbled as she shook her head at them and then turned back to the Tomahawk, where there was still a lot of noise coming from inside it.

"Hey you, come here!"

"Never!" a voice yelled back before a sloshing noise was made. "WHOOP! WHOOP! WHOOP! WHOOP!!!"

"That's it!"

"Hey, hey, hey, hey! Get off!"

"Just take him!"

"Fine, we'll do it your way!"

"Oh no!"

"Hahaha, sounds like fun in there, maybe we should of joined them after all," Buggy laughed as it all suddenly went quiet for a few minutes, before the door suddenly was busted open to reveal Axe and Devon standing there, Axe had a few sacks in his hands, while Devon had just one sack and Austin tied up and flung over his shoulder. As they stepped out, the crowd of citizens cowered in fear of them as they could now see inside the Tomahawk bar. It was all broken up, plus Oniri, Dusty, DJ and Herman were all tied up and gagged on the floor.

Once Axe and Devon were fully outside, they both turned and smirked at the Clown family who were staring at them in shock as well.

"Satisfied yet?" Axe asked them as he was looking particularly at Cabaji, a he just stood there, looking a little shocked before giving a small nod and turning to Devon.

"What's with the kid?" he asked as Devon just shrugged.

"I figured it was best to hang on to him and keep him close," Devon replied as Buggy nodded in agreement.

"Haha, a kidnap? I like your way of thinking," he laughed before Axe tossed the many sacks he carried at right it front of Buggy as Devon did the same with his, but kept hold of Austin, who he now held under his arm.

"How'd you like them apples?" Axe said, smirking a little as Buggy checked the sack to see that they were filled with millions of Beri and valuables.

"Yeahahaha! Wonderful!" he told them.

"Oi! BIG NOSE!!!" came a yell as Buggy's face suddenly dropped at the comment and instantly turned around to see Luffy standing in the streets with Usopp cowering behind him.

"Hahaha, you're too late Straw-Hat! I'm sorry we can't stay to hang around as usual, but we already have plans…RICHIE!" Buggy told him before call the out the pet lion. Riche then appeared with a cannonball in his mouth of which he threw down on the ground and suddenly creating a massive cloud of smoke that filled the streets.

"Eh? Plans? What plans?" Luffy wondered out loud and he and the other people in the street coughed from all the smoke around. Once it had cleared, the entire Clown family had disappeared.

"Darn it, they've gone again! Wasn't that the same trick they used last year?" Usopp questioned as he looked over at Luffy who was just laughing.

"Hahaha, we keep losing them, don't we?" he laughed.

"HOW CAN YOU BE SO CALM!" everyone yelled at him, as Luffy just continued to laugh with a big grin on his face.

"No worries, we'll catch them soon," he simply replied.

"Yeahaha, that went better than expected!" Buggy laughed as the entire family walked up the pathway, past a small forest area, like they were headed somewhere. "Well you two, now that you're truly a part of this family, I have no doubt that our to invade the palace and kidnap princess Vivi will fail now! HAHAHA!!!" he yelled loudly, while in the forest, Zoro tilted his gasa hat up with the handle of one of his swords and smirked.

"So that's it," he mumbled before crouching up on the tree branch he had been sleeping on, pulling out one of his swords, ready to attack. But just as he leaped off, something, or someone grabbed his ankle, he suddenly turned around, after he was confused that he wasn't leaping through the air like he should have been to find a single hand coming up from the tree branch and had a hold of his ankle. "What the?" he wondered out loud before he was about to turn around to cut it off, until he suddenly realised something…since he had already leapt off the branch and as he attempted to cut the mysterious hand away which instantly let go, he was standing in mid air and it was only a matter of time before...

"WWWWWWWWHHHHHHOOOOOAAAAAAAA!!!" Zoro screamed as he fell down, at a fast pace from the tall tree. But suddenly, two more mysterious hands sprouted up from his shoulders and clapped over his mouth, stopping him from screaming as suddenly stopped falling moments before he could hit the ground. Zoro looked around to see he was now hanging upside down with two hands holding on to his legs that where connected to many other arms that went all the way up to the tree branch of which he fell down from. "What?" he mumbled under the hands around his mouth before his eyes widened as there was a upside down (in his point of view) woman with black hair and blue eyes with her arms crossed outwards with her palms facing up, there was also another woman standing next to her with fiery red hair and wearing a red kimono. Both women were smiling, as they both raised a finger in front of their mouths and shushed at him, but not before giving Zoro a little wink as they did it.
