Chapter 3: Tripwires and Traps
"We-" the twins replied, walking towards each other. "-are the Kokotsu twins: Ame Kokotsu and Yuki Kokotsu! You are now in the domain of the Blitz Ball Pirates!"
"H-how did they…?" Nami stuttered, standing up after being tripped by something. "All they did was run past us!"
"Try it again," Zoro smirked, walking away from the group. "I dare you."
"Z-Z-Z-Z-Z-ZORO!!" Usopp shouted, retreating to the back of the group, who were separating themselves from Zoro.
"Do it," Sanji repeated suavely, walking up next to him. "If you can."
"S-S-S-S-S-SANJI!! YOU TOO?!"
Ame and Yuki exchanged glances, but nodded to each other and took off running. Once again, the girls ran past the two men, but just as they did, Zoro and Sanji both jumped.
'So,' Ame thought once they jumped.
'They found out,' Yuki also thought.
Before the guys landed, the twins stopped in their place and quickly dashed backwards. This caused the guys to flip in the air, but instead of falling, they flipped backwards, landing on their hands and then feet like acrobats. Yuki and Ame retreated back to their side on the pyramid. (In otherwords, they jumped and did the matrix while landing in a backflip.)
"What… was that?" Chopper questioned, watching Zoro and Sanji brush their hands off after landing on them.
"It's a tripwire," Robin stated. "It's a wire that trips its opponent. It's sometimes used to triggered traps, and they are usually near invisible."
When she said this, a few hands popped up on the wire, making it look like they popped out of thin air and weren't attached to anything. The hands that popped up scared the twins, causing them to toss the wire off the pyramid.
"Now," Zoro grinned," you have no weapon."
"So it would seem," Yuki said.
"But we still have some tricks up our sleeves," Ame agreed, taking out a small, black ball from her pocket.
Sanji and Zoro blinked, watching the twins take out several black balls. Usopp adjusted his goggles on the black balls, and once he did, his eyes widened, horrified.
"SANJI! ZORO!" He shouted to them. "GET AWAY! THOSE ARE-"
"BLITZ BALL BOMBARDMENT!!"
Ame and Yuki shouted, taking the balls in their hands and tossing them at the two. Once the bombs hit the ground, a light burst exploded from it, followed by an explosion that blasted their two opponents away. At this time, the twins had already made their way down the North entrance stairs, making their escape.
"D-Dammit," Sanji sighed once the smoke cleared. "They got away."
"That's okay," Usopp chuckled nervously. "Let's just get the hell out of here, right Luffy?"
The crew turned to the spot where her Captain should've been.
"Luffy?!"
O0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0O
"Takashi," Chimatsu smiled as she skipped along the forest path near the North entrance. "I stole a recipe from the fruit vender on how to make Orange Vanilla Cake. Will that be okay for our celebration feast tonight?"
"I'm sure that'll be perfect," Takashi smiled, keeping up with the innocent girl.
"TAKASHI, TAKASHI!"
Takashi's smile quickly disappeared as she saw the Kokotsus racing towards her at full speed. When they finally reached her, they keeled over, resting their hands on their knees and panting heavily.
"Ame? Yuki? What's the matter?"
"P-pirates," the breathed in unison. "At the base. They were at the base before we got there!"
"What?!"
"That's not all! They are the same pirates that we had trapped earlier!"
Takashi sighed, turning to Chimatsu.
"Go hide in the trap room with the twins. I'll take care of them."
"Okay," Chimatsu nodded, heading off back to the pyramid with the twins slowly following behind.
Takashi followed them, but they split up once they reached the North stairs. Chimatsu and the twins ran over to the actual base of the pyramid, where there was a door. They opened it, went in, and double-checked to see if anyone was following the, closing it quietly behind them.
"We should be safe for now," Chimatsu said, skipping over to the center of the room in an awkward, zig zag way. The twins followed behind her, taking a seat in the middle of the room.
"Sugooooooi," someone's voice reverberated in the large room.
The three immediately turned their heads to the door to spot nothing but the captain in a straw hat. He flashed his million-dollar smile, and there was that usual glint in his eyes that meant he was searching for adventure.
"Who are you?" Chimatsu blinked, tilting her head over a little.
"I'm Monkey D. Luffy," he said. "Who are you?"
"I'm Chimatsu," she replied. "How'd you get in here?"
"Ah, I fell through a hole somewhere when those two through bombs at us."
Chimatsu gave Luffy a strange look. He didn't look like he was angry that he had just had bombs thrown at him and his crew, and he didn't look evil like most pirates do. Something was definitely strange about him…
"So you're pirates too, right?" He asked, taking a few steps toward them.
"W-WAIT! DON'T-"
Chimatsu's warning came too late as a rush of large rocks came tumbling from the ceiling, right over Luffy's head. Grabbing his hat, he quickly jumped back and watched the rocks crash in front of him.
"SUGOOOOOOI!!! WHAT WAS THAT?!"
"This is my trap room," she replied, pointing to the unusual pattern on the floor. "See these squares on the floor? When you step on a square, it activates a certain trap. There are only a few that don't set off traps, and until you can find all of them, you won't be able to get even close to us."
Luffy took a few minutes to soak the new information in, and after a while, he took his hand into a fist and hit his other hand as a sign of understanding.
"Ah, so it's a mystery room!"
"NO, IT'S NOT!"
