They had be exchanging blows for a while. Soon the man was the unicycle rides away fast, then turns and comes up to the other at full speed.
Captain Luffy kneed low to the ground and as the unicycle came at him again, he swung at the wheel, slicing through the tire.
With a hiss the wheel began to wobble and shake, no longer was the rider able to continue.
Cabaji stops off the unicycle and turns to the marine, the pirate's eyes widen when he saw the marine was already in striking distances.
Crying out he brings his sword up just in time to block the angry marine's attack. However this caused him to stumble backwards and drop his sword, he fell on to his rear.
Luffy stopped the blade inches from the pirate's throat.
"Ain't you going to kill me?" Cabaji hisses out glaring up at the marine.
Luffy sneers at the pirate, "Death is to good for you." he growls out, "You're going to Impel Down."
Cabaji's expression changed to one of pure terror.
"No..." Cabaji breathes out, he moves slightly, trying to turn and get to his feet. However Luffy moves the sword away and slams his fist against the pirate's temple, sending him flying into the wall.
Luffy straighten himself. Bringing out a clothe, he carefully cleans Zoro's sword, before placing it into it's sheath.
A cry was heard, followed by the sound of running.
Luffy stares towards the cry came from, while making sure the sword was firmly at his side.
"A coward." The woman comments with a sneer, Luffy turns to look at her, "Most likely telling Buggy you are here and beat his top men."
Luffy nods at her words. The he began walking, heading for the next staircase. Behind him the orange woman kept in his shadow, holding his jacket tighter to herself.
Reaching the next staircase entrance he halts in his tracks, making the young woman walk into him.
Before she could complain why he stopped suddenly, she saw his reasons. In the doorway that lead to the staircase, was a cannon facing them. Behind the cannon was three smirking clowns, holding it into place.
A hissing noise told Luffy that it was already lit.
Spinning around Luffy grabs the woman, lifting her up and diving to the floor, shielding her as best he could. The sound that came after was deafening. The whole room was blown away from the force of the cannonball sailing through.
