Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece… Sadly… ;; I should at least get ownership of One Piece for today ( ((June 30)) my birthday btw), but I don't suppose that will EVER happen.

Chapter 6 – Is she…
"WHERE DID THE SHIPS GO?"
"Well," PyrX mumbled. "I saw them blast off in the other direction…"
Everyone sighed. Katsu stared at the ground but noticed someone grunting. She looked over in Luffy's direction and saw him struggling as best he could against the chains.
"Luffy, what are you doing?"
"I'm trying to get out of here," he said in his childish way.
"You can't use your powers, you know. The bars are made of seastone, so there's know way that you could use them."
"Then I just won't touch the bars! Gomu gomu no… Balloon!"
In an instant, his arms and legs blew up like a ballon, bursting the shackles around them. And as stupid as they are, the marines didn't seem to notice anything. He walked away from the wall and stood proudly in the cell.
"Good job Luffy," Zoro said. "Now get me out of these."
Luffy nodded and slung back his arm as if he was going to punch the bars. Instead, he weaved his hand and arm through the bars so that they stretched through to the marine. Before the marine could react, he snatched the keys and his arm snapped back to the cell.
"SHIT! THE PIRATES!" The marine screamed, running up the staircase.
When the marine finally got the others and made their way back to the cell, they found it completely empty with the keys lying on the ground of the cell. The pirates had split up into groups and dashed in different directions around the ship.
Group 1 (Mel and Zoro)
Mel and Zoro stood quietly between a crate and the wall of the ship's cabin, hiding and waiting for the marines to dash past. Zoro, being unable to walk and/or run and/or move at all due to the painful wound he received, had his arm slung over Mel's shoulder. As soon as the marines moved, Mel spoke up.
"The coast is clear. Let's go."
"You know," he said in a stubborn voice. "I can move on my own."
"Oh really. Try it then."
Mel took his arm off her and moved away. As soon as she did, Zoro bit his lip to stop him from screaming out loud in pain.
"You stubborn bastard," she growled, positioning his arm back around her shoulder.
They were about to move when they realized that Mel's comment sounded a little louder then it was supposed to sound. The marines nearby picked up the noise and quickly cornered them and aimed their guns at them.
"Don't move!" One marine shouted.
Mel and Zoro looked at each other and then to the marine's and said one word in perfect unison: "Shit."
Group 2 (Luffy and Katsu)
Luffy and Katsu were running at top speed around the ship with the marines behind them.
"Hurry up," Luffy yelled to Katsu who was running behind him.
"Ooooh sorry, but I'm not as strong as you when it comes to running around!"
"Yes it is!"
Katsu looked at him with a face that clearly said "I hope you trip." Just as the marines behind them had disappeared, they arrived just in time behind the marines that had surrounded Mel and Zoro. Noticing this, Luffy came up with a minor, but good, plan.
"Zoro, Mel, duck!"
They did exactly as he said, knowing exactly whose voice it was. And that's when Luffy did one of his well-known moves:
"Gomu gomu no Whip!"
In a flash, all the marines that were surrounding them had been knocked over the side of the ship. Katsu smiled and flashed the thumbs up.
"Nice one, Luffy!"
Zoro nodded.
"Hey," he said. "Where are my katanas?"
"PyrX went to go find them," Luffy replied.
Mel and Katsu looked at each other.
"SHE WENT ALONE!"
"Yeah, she wanted to…"
Group 3 (Pyrate X)
PyrX walked around the ship, carefully avoiding all the marines that ran by, and she had finally stumbled across the weapon storage in the ship. She opened the door quietly and walked in. There sat all nine swords: Zoro's, Mel's, Katsu's, and her swords. She smirked to herself, grabbed the swords, and when she thought everything was going to be smooth-sailing from there, she was wrong. In the doorway stood 3 marines who were staring at her smugly.
"Lookie here, guys," one of them said. "It's a kid trying to steal some swords."
"Back off fucktards! I have 9 swords and I know how to use them!"
"Watch your mouth little lady!"
PyrX glared at them and took out her swords. The others she tied to her back with a scarf that she found in a room earlier. Unsheathing her swords, she placed one in each hand and one in her mouth. The marines began to laugh.
"Little girl, are you trying to be like Roronoa Zoro!" They mocked.
PyrX thought nothing of it, since she had heard it time and time again from past fights. She charged at them with her arms crossed down with the swords and her head down.
"Rapid Twirl!"
She whipped her swords out at them, causing the winds around them to spin in a cyclone. It started to lift them as soon as it started, sending them screaming out of the room and off the ship's side. Sheathing her swords, she smirked.
"Chicken shit," she muttered and ran off to find the others.
As soon as she ran out of the room, Luffy, who was nearby, spotted her and yelled to her.
"PyrX! Over here!"
"Hey guys," she said whiling tossing the swords to their owners. "Now, let's get out of he---"
PyrX stopped her sentence when instant pain went right through her shoulder. Her eyes grew wide, and she turned her head as much as she could to barely see a marine holding a gun at her from a few yards away. She fell forward, gripping her shoulder in pain. Mel, Luffy, Katsu, and Zoro stood stunned and screamed in unison.
"PYRX!"
More marines came out of nowhere and quickly surrounded them, aiming their rifles at them. Mel, Zoro, and Katsu unsheathed their swords with their heads down. At once, they struck down as many marines as they could, blood spraying with every slash. As soon as they regrouped, the last marine had aimed and shot at Mel's head, but just grazed her cheek. Mel glared and ran at the marine with top speed and ended up behind him. She sheathed her sword as soon as the marine fell forward unconscious and bleeding badly.
In the meantime, Luffy had dashed up to PyrX to check on her and to see the damage. Her shoulder was bleeding, yes, but not badly. She
"Hey PyrX, you okay?"
"Heh," she said. "Why do you care?"
"We're friends! Why else would I care?"
"Good point," she said, grinning.
Mel, Katsu, and Zoro had arrived on the scene when out of nowhere came cannonballs flying at all the other ships, leaving the ship they were on the only ship floating. They looked over to where the cannonballs had come from and saw both ships, the Crossroads and the Going Merry, sailing towards them. Luffy got up and started laughing and waving to his crew, while Mel picked up PyrX. As soon as the ships moved next to each other, they hopped back to the ship and sailed away, leaving Smoker and the marines behind angry and steamed on the remaining ship.
"Welcome back everyone," Nami greeted.
Usopp walked away from the cannon and grinned proudly, but just when he was going to boast on how great his shots were, he noticed blood drip on the floor and PyrX's state.
"Chopper! CHOPPER!"
Chopper came out from the ship with medical supplies just in case, and he ran straight over to her once she saw how she was.
A few hours later, Chopper walked out of the room he was working in only to be greeted with concerned faces. Mel was the first to speak up.
"Chopper, how's PyrX and Zoro? Are they okay?"
"She's perfectly fine, and so is Zoro."
"Who cares about him?" Sanji asked.
"I HEARD THAT!" Zoro shouted from the other room.
They all breathed a sigh of relief when Robin noticed something.
"Mel-chan," she said, getting her attention. "You're wounded."
"Huh?"
Mel looked around and noticed that her right side was bleeding. Apparantly she had been either shot or stabbed, but either way she was wounded. Seeing this, Chopper grabbed her hand and began leading her into the room.
"I'll need to sew that up as well and fast before you pass out from bleeding, or worse, infection!"
He shuddered at the thought. Mel, on the other hand, shook her head.
"SEW IT UP! N-n-n-no! It's perfectly fine! I didn't even notice it until Robin brought it up! Aheh heh heh…"
Everyone looked at her, making her rather uncomfortable. Getting a head start, she dashed over to the Crossroads, but was easily caught by everyone since she was a bit on the disabled side.
"WAHHHH, NOOOO! PLEASE NO NEEDLES! NO PAIN!"
