"You must wonder why we took you Perona..." A man with an iron mask stood above her, looking down at her. "My name is Spandam, the leader of the assassination group called Cipher Pol 9. I tell you this with confidence since I tell you that you will spend the rest of your life in Impel Down, where you will rot till you die." He played with his sword, which happened to sound like an elephant.
"What do you want from me?" Perona managed to utter a couple of words despite being a little groggy.
"Gecko Moria, name's familiar to you?" Asked Spandam, causing a slight reaction from Perona
"Never heard of that name..." She replied, turning her head to the side. Spandam hit her upside her head, causing her to spit out blood.
"I can make this quick and easy or I can make this really difficult. Choose."
Perona looked directly at Spandam and spit in his face. Spandam immediately whipped his face and smacked Perona once again.
"The hard way it is..." Spandam had a sadistic smile under his mask, he was ready to torture the woman for information on the whereabouts of Gecko Moria.
Just as expected, a man wielding a giant blade arrived in a casket shaped boat.
"It's him! Dracule Mihawk!" Yelled A marine, who was suddenly knocked down by Mihawk
"My quarrel is not with you. Hand over Ghost girl and everyone will be free." Mihawk said, non of them stood a chance.
Gambia notice nine people stood on top of the highest tower of Enies Lobby. He could make out Perona in front of the group, hands tied behind her back and she seemed to have been tortured. "Mihawk, up top!" Gambia pointed at the top of the building.
Mihawk took notice and found his crew mate. "Ghost girl! We're coming for you!" Barto cleared a path in front of Mihawk by creating a barrier, throwing every marine out of the way. Gambia struck everyone else who got in the way closely following Mihawk. The group reached the top of the building across from where the nine people stood along with Perona's beaten up body.
Mihawk stood in the middle of the group, looking up at the man with the top hat and bird on his shoulder. Then Barto was on his right. To his left was Gambia
"Mihawk, Strawhats fan club, we are absolute justice, master of our craft. I am Spandam and we are called Cp9. The greatest assassin group in the world. I know we need to stay secretive but it doesn't matter since you all will die by end day." Spandam raised his hands but Mihawk had a better idea.
"I don't care who you are, I want my friend back!" Exclaimed Mihawk. "Damn your Cp9!" Right on cue, Mihawk suddenly swig his sword.
Spandam was appalled by the decision of Mihawk to declare full war with the entire Marine faction. "Very well. Take care of them." He gave the order as he had Nero drag Perona by her cuffs, following Spandam back on top of the building. "I will get the answer I want eventually Perona."
Mihawk was the first to charge, going directly for Rob Lucci, the obvious leader of the Cp9 faction.
"So tell me, how do you do that with your hair?" Barto was blocking Kumadori's hair punches. It was definitely an odd power but quiet useful.
"I am a hermit! I have full control of my body function but I prefer to use my hair as primary weapon!" The hermit twirled his primary weapon a staff called Khakkhara. He slammed it where Vergo stood, hitting nothing but the concrete floor, shattering the ground.
"You're ability is fascinating." Barto removed his coat. "Unfortunately for you, I am going to whoop you."
Kumadori ignored what he was saying and launched his hair at him once again, though this time Barto was fighting back rather than dodging, meeting all of his attack with his fist.
Kumadori winced in pain as his hair met with Barto's barrier.
"Who the hell are you?!" Asked Kumadori, his voice was shaking from fear.
"I'm Bartolomeo of the Strawhats grand fleet." He said.
"Strawhats grand fleet!" Kumadori was even more scared now as the name was familiar throughout the entire marine force. This was a man regarded so powerful that it was run at first sight and gather backup before engaging. "What are you doing with Mihawk?!"
"Mihawk needed help and Luffy would have helped." Barto said
"Only a true man will reveal his story to an enemy. I suppose I can't turn tail now. Be ready for this Barto!" Kumadori gathered all of his energy to his core, launching his strongest attack at Barto. His hair kept punching him while Barto stood unmoving, receiving all of the attack.
His clothes ripped as Kumadori continued his assault. But the man felt chills run down his spine as without clothes, Barto was revealed to be covered in a barrier all over his body. "What the hell?"
"Game over." Barto slammed his fist right at Kumadori's face, effectively knocking him out sending through walls, stopping only after going through the fifth room.
Barto noticed a a golden key on the floor, picking it up. "This must be important.." He said smiling to himself. "These people are something else, making me believe in them again."
Gambia vs Blueno
"I refuse to fight." Gambia kept his arms crossed as Blueno bounced around from wall to wall showing his speed.
"Unfortunately for you, I have direct orders." Blueno continued to speed up, causing the air to stir all over the place.
"I have to hurry this up, I'm warning you." Gambia lifted one finger. "You get one move."
Blueno accepted the invitation, disappearing through a door and appearing in another door above Gambia. He still maintained the momentum he built up from bouncing all over the place, having the full speed he gathered and power he has, Blueno punched Marco on the top of his head causing the floor which Gambia stood on to crack from the shear impact.
Blueno stood in front of Gambia,surprise that he was still standing. "Passed out I see. Well you're cockiness was your end."
"I wasn't being cocky." Gambia head was bleeding but he looked up directly at Blueno,
"I told you one.." Gambia fired his nunchuck guns. Gambia walked away, leaving a passed out Blueno deep in the crater from the impact they created.
Mihawk vs Lucci
The battle was over in one strike, no matter strong Rob thought he was, he wasn't able to block the world's strongest slash from Mihawk.
"Let's go save Ghost girl."
With Perona
"Still nothing huh?" Said Spandam, continuing the torture of Perona. The woman, despite being broken physically and mentally, launched her body at Spandam, body slamming him to the ground. This caused Nero to get up quickly from his chair and got Perona off of Spandam. He punched her a couple of times to beat her new strength out of her.
Perona began to laugh, the duo thought that the woman finally lost it. "Wanna know where Moria is?" She stood up, despite having the cuff on her back, Perona was able to get up. "Luffy killed him." She said and suddenly Spandam and Nero looked as she began to fade.
"How the hell!?" Exclaimed the scared Spandam.
"Missing something you shits." She twirled the key to the cuffs in her hands, the seastone shackle dropped on the floor.
"You got it when you jumped on me!" Exclaimed Spandam.
"Bye bye." Perona fell through the floor.
"Yo! You got yourself out." Barto was the first to arrive and meet up with Perona. The duo made there way through the compound.
"Here you guys are. Wow lots of cool stuff here." Gambia found the duo as he exited the weapon vault of the marines.
"Alright lets get out of here." The trio made there way to the nearest exit.
"Anybody see Mihawk?"
"I'm here you bastards." Mihawk appeared before them. "Hate to break it to you guys though, but hundreds of marine ship are coming this way."
"It's a buster call, it has to be since they are sending hundreds of Marine ship." Barto was sure of it.
"Would they really do that again toe Ennis Lobby?" Asked Gambia
"We got to get out of here!" Perona panicked, looking around, they were on top of Enies Lobby, no clear signs of possible escape.
Mihawk jumped.
"Mihawk what the hell!" Exclaimed Perona.
" Jump" Barto said.
"Captains orders." Gambia immediately followed, leaving Perona with Barto.
"See yah on the other side!" Barto jumped leaving Perona to herself.
"Screw it!" Perona was the last to jump, despite her trust on Mihawk, this was probably the dumbest move of his entire existence. To her surprise, she landed on a deck. A familiar deck at that.
"Returning back to Water 7, they were immediately housed by Iceburg who hid them from the prying marines.
Mihawk's coffin boat began to fall apart before being able to dock in Water 7.
"Give me two days, Your ship will be upgraded like you asked. I guarantee it." Said Vergo beside Barto.
"We still need a crew." Gambia said.
" We need a ship" Perona said.
Mihawk turned to Barto " You said you were part of the Strawhats grand fleet correct?"
Barto nodded " Yep"
" You have a ship?" Mihawk asked, Barto nodded. " Ghost girl I found us a ship"
Perona looked at Mihawk
" We are joining their crew" Mihawk said.
Barto looked at Gambia, Mihawk and Perona and saw comparisons to Ussop, Zoro and Nami
" You guys remind me of the Strawhats, welcome aboard" Barto said.
The crew began to celebrate their victory and new alliance.
