Chapter 3: The man in the white tuxedo
Sanji saw a note on the table. He picked it up and read it.
Prince Sanji,
Your parents and the girl are safe. Whether they remain safe or not depends on you. Come to the Owashi dock tonight at 6.
"Those basturds," Sanji said under his breath. "Guys, I found a note."
"Sanji, this has 'Trap' written all over it." Usopp quivered.
Sanji took off his black jacket, placed his tie in the pocket, and hung it on a chair. He put his Mr. Prince sunglasses on. "Nami, I ask that you stay here. Please."
"Not gonna work." Nami smiled.
"Nami's so cute when she's stubborn!" Saku and Sanji replied in unison. Nami sweatdropped.
Sanji said, "I'll go to the dock. You guys hide and wait. Then, when Kara is safely out of the way, we'll take those assholes down."
"What about your parents?" Usopp asked.
Sanji smiled, "I didn't learn all my fighting skills from the Old Geezer." Sanji and the guys got to the dock, Luffy and the others out of sight.
"Ah, so Prince, you've come back to Cokeko." A man in a white tuxedo was on the dock with twenty other black-suited men. He tipped his white top hat in mock respect.
Sanji asked, "Why'd you take Kara and my parents?"
"Hehe..." The man grinned. "For randsom of course,"
"But you never told me to bring any money!"
"Oopsie, guess we left that out. Well, I've always wanted to be a murderer. Men!"
To Sanji's horror, the twenty black-suited men stepped back, revealing Sanji's parents and Kara tied up. One of the men pulled a rope, releasing the trapdoor underneath them. Kara and his parents screamed as they hit the water. Luffy and the guys fought the men in tuxedos while Sanji dove in to save Kara, Randy, and Daisy. Sanji's dad was helping his mom. He sped toward Kara. Kara was terrified, her wheelchair unable to move. She couldn't swim either. The eight year old was helpless and unconious. Sanji tried pulling her out. She was strapped in!
It took Sanji a few seconds to get her unbuckled because the water made it hard to see. Finally free, he kicked toward the surface. Sanji became extremely lightheaded. His world went black.
