A few minutes later, Lucci was standing in front of an old fashioned road paving machine.

"This here is Bessie. Finest road-paving machine ever built," Iceberg said. "We're going to hook your car up to her and you're going to pull her nicely."

"What! This place is crazy!" Lucci shouted as Usopp walked up to him and whispered, "I know this a bad time but you owe me $2,000 in legal fees for being your lawyer."

"What?" Lucci said, looking at the long-nosed man wide-eyed, who nodded.

"You just need pave from where the road begins, to where it ends," Iceberg explained, pointing down the road to the point where two road work signs were set up on.

"Holy crap!" Usopp and Sekhmet exclaimed, seeing how much damage was on the road.

"Whoa, whoa, how long is this supposed to take?" Lucci asked.

"If you do it right, it should take about 5 days," Iceberg said.

"5 days! But I should be Raftel schmoozing One Piece right now!" Lucci complained.

"Then I'd quit yapping and start working! Sekhmet, you unchain Lucci and get him into his car. Usopp, you hook him up."

Sekhmet removed the chain around Lucci's hand and Lucci got into his race car. Usopp forced down the parking boot open, and as soon as he did, Lucci took off driving down the road.

"FREEDOM!" he shouted.

Usopp watched him leave with wide eyes and said, "Maybe…I should've hooked him up to Bessie and then…and then took the boot off."

Iceberg glared at the man as if saying, "You idiot."

As Lucci drove down the road, he said, "Goodbye Galley-La, and goodbye Bessie! Raftel, here I come!"

As he was halfway away from the town, he heard the puttering of the sound of his car running out of gas.

"No, nonononono! Out of gas?! How can I be out of gas?" Lucci asked himself as his car stopped at the sign where Paulie normally resided to see Paulie and Luffy standing there.

Paulie laughed and said, "Boy, we aren't as dumb as you think we are."

"B-b-b-but…how did you?" Lucci stammered, really confused.

"We siphoned your gas while you were passed out. Rawr. Shishishi" Luffy laughed.

A few minutes later, Lucci's race car was hooked up to Bessie and now the race car driver was pulling the machine to pave the new road. Usopp was sitting in this huge yellow and red motorbike with three wheels and a pink sidecar with Sekhmet sitting in it, riding alongside Lucci.

Then, at one point, a bubble of tar popped, causing it to land on Lucci's car.

"Dammit!" Lucci shouted.

"What's wrong?" Usopp asked.

"Part of my car is dirty!" Lucci complained.

"That's nothing. Let me fix it," Sekhmet said getting out of the sidecar.

She made a couple of gurgling noises and hacking noise and was about to cough up a lot of spit until Lucci said, "That will not be necessary."

Lucci then noticed Chopper was nearby, watering his flowers.

"Hey, hey little guy! My car could use a little hose-down to wash this tar off!" Lucci hollered at him.

Chopper glanced down at his flowers and pushed the pots away and hid out of Lucci's sight.

"Where's he going?" Lucci asked.

"Oh, he's just a little bit shy and he hates you for killing his flowers," Usopp explained.

"I shouldn't have to put up with this! I'm a precision instrument of speed and aerodynamics!" Lucci shouted.

"You hurt your what?" Sekhmet asked.

"I'm a very famous race car!" Lucci said in similar.

At that point, Brook and Laboon ran up to Lucci's race car. "You are a famous race car? A real race car?" Brook asked.

"Am I a real race car? Are you kidding? Look at me," Lucci said.

"I have followed racing my entire life!" Brook exclaimed. "That is if I was still alive. Yohohoho!"

"Then you must know who I am! I'm Rob Lucci!" Lucci said, glad to meet a racing fan.

"Rob Lucci!" Brook gasped.

"Yes!" Lucci said.

"I shall scream out my excitement to the world, from the top of a mountain, very high!" Brook exclaimed. "Do you know any of the Four Emperors?"

"No, they're in the New World Circuit. I'm in the Grand Line!" Lucci stated.

Brook and Laboon frowned at the race car and Brook said, "I only follow the Four Emperors." The skeleton and the younger man then walked off in a huff.

Lucci's attention was then caught by a news update on Kokoro's radio.

"Still no sign of Rob Lucci, meanwhile, Don Quixote Doflamingo has arrived at Raftel and is driving around the track," Kaya stated.

"It's good to get here before the other racers. You know, trying out the track. It really gives you the advantage in the race," Doflamingo said over the radio.

Lucci then got this terrifying thought. What if he never got to Raftel in time? What if they had to do the race without him? What if Doflamingo won? Lucci could imagine Doflamingo talking to One Piece, standing between One Piece's show girls and holding the Grand Line Cup, wearing a silver version of his racing uniform, on covers of magazines, and with the Square Sisters.

"Hey Lucci, eat your heart out," Doffy sneered.

"HAH!" Lucci gasped, as he snapped out of the thought.

Then he turned toward Usopp and Sekhmet and asked, "Usopp! Sekhmet! Iceberg said I could go if I fixed the road, right?"

"Yep, that's what they said," Usopp answered.

"Okay, out of my way. I got a road to finish," Lucci said. Lucci pressed the gas on his car and drove as fast he could pull Bessie down the road, paving it as fast as he could. Usopp and Sekhmet watched him in awe.

An hour later, Usopp and Sekhmet barged into the medical clinic where Iceberg worked, shouting, "HE'S DONE!"

"Done?" Iceberg said, confused. The two teens nodded. "It's only been an hour," Iceberg said.

Lucci stood by his car, panting due to all the effort he had to do to force his car to pull the paving machine.

"Okay, I'm done. Look, I'm finished. Just say thank you and I'll be on my way," Lucci said.

The townsfolk observed the road in shock. It was very bumpy looking and it was wavy instead of straight.

Usopp and Sekhmet sat in the motorbike and they shouted, "Woo! We're the first ones to try the new road!" the teens rode their motorcycle down the road, bumping along the way ad causing parts of it to rattle.

"A-a-a-a-a-a-h. It rides p-p-p-p-pretty smooth too," Sekhmet said.

"It looks awful!" Luffy exclaimed.

"So, it matches the rest of the town," Lucci said.

Everyone gasped and Chopper sniffled before running off crying in his walk point.

"Chopper!" Luffy hollered, trying to call him back.

Chopper ran behind the junkyard, causing a stack of old tires to fall over.

Luffy glared at Lucci and snapped, "Who the hell do you think you are?"

"Look, Iceberg said when I was finish, I could go! That was the deal!" Lucci snapped.

"The deal was you fix the road," Iceberg said as he walked up to Lucci. "Not make it worse. Now scrape it off, and start over."

"Look, grandpa, I'm not a road worker. I'm a race car driver," Lucci sneered.

"Mwell, is that right. Then how about we have a little race. Me and you," Iceberg offered.

"What?" Luffy said, confused.

"Me against you in a race? Is that a joke?" Lucci asked, laughing.

"If you win, you go and I fix the road. But if I win, you do the road my way," Iceberg said.

"Iceberg, what are you doing?" Paulie asked, confused.

"Hahaha. I don't mean to be rude here Doc, but you probably go zero to sixty in like what? Three-point-five years?" Lucci sneered.

Iceberg smirked and said, "Then I reckon you don't have anything to worry about."

"You know what old timer? That's a wonderful idea. Let's race," Lucci said.

Later, at Willy's Butte, which was a small ditch where there was a natural made race track in the dirt. Lucci sat in his race car at the starting line and Iceberg sat in a light blue 1950s Hudson Hornet.

Paulie stood at the starting line, and said the rules, "Gentlemen, this will be a one-lap race. You will drive to Willy's Butte, go around Willy's Butte and come back. There will be no bumping, no cheating, no spitting, no biting, no road rage, no maiming, no oil slicking, no pushing, no shoving, no backstabbing, no road-hogging and no lollygagging."

Lucci took a deep breath and said, "Speed. I am Speed. Float like a Cadillac. Sting like a Beemer."

Then, Brook and Laboon walked onto the track to Lucci's car. "You know, my friend Laboon has always of dreaming a real race car a pit stop," the skeleton stated.

Laboon then asked, "Pit stop?"

"This race is only one lap, guys. I don't need any help. I work solo," Lucci said.

"Fine, race your way," Brook said, a little ticked off as he walked back onto the ledge. Laboon still stood there.

"No pit stop. Okay?" Lucci said.

"Ok," Laboon replied before running after Brook.

"Gentlemen! Start your engines!" Paulie commanded.

Iceberg started the engine in his car, which was a gentle rumble. Lucci rolled his eyes and revved his engines, making several people jump.

"Wow! That engine's super!" Franky exclaimed.

"This is going to be fun to watch," Kaku said.

"Hmm, these are some interesting odds," Robin said.

"Great idea, Ice Pops, now we'll never get the road done," Luffy sighed, thinking all hope was loss.

"Brook, you start it," Paulie said, walking off the track.

Brook ran on and held a green flag, ready to start the race. "Yohohoho! On your marks. Get set. One for the money. Two for the show. Three to get ready. Four to…I can't believe, GO!" Brook shouted, waving the flag.

Lucci drove off through the track past Brook, as everyone was getting excited, leaving a bunch of dust at the start. When the dust cleared, it was revealed that Iceberg in his car was still at the starting line.

"Uh, Iceberg-san, the flag means go. Remember the flag. Here we go. Go," Brook said, very confused.

"Uh, Iceberg, what are you doing, bro?" Franky asked.

"Oh dear, it seems I'm off to a poor start. Well, better late than never. Come on, Usopp. I might need your help," Iceberg said.

"Um, ok," Usopp said as he and Sekhmet jumped into his motorbike and drove down towards Iceberg's car who started to drive at a normal speed.

"You got your tow cable on your motorcycle?" Iceberg asked.

"Yeah, I always have it. Why?" Usopp asked.

"Oh, just in case," Iceberg said, smirking.

Meanwhile, on the dirt track, Lucci was approaching a turn where he tried to turn on it, but he didn't turn! Instead, he kept going forward and ended up rolling down a slope into some cacti.

"AH! Ow!"

"Oh man, that had to hurt!" Franky shouted.

"I'd hate to be in his position right now," Zoro said.

When Iceberg and Usopp got to the slope, Iceberg got out of his car and hollered down to Lucci, "Hey! Was that floating like a Cadillac? Or was it stinging like a Beemer? I'm confused!"

Usopp and Sekhmet laughed at Lucci's ordeal.

"You drive like you fix roads; Lousy! Have fun fishing, Usopp," Iceberg said as he got back into his car and drove back to town.

Usopp grabbed his tow cable and threw it down and hooked it into the back of Lucci's car perfectly. "You know, I'm starting to think he knew you were going to crash!" Usopp stated.

"Thank you, Usopp. Thank you," Lucci said sarcastically.

A while later, Lucci was using his car as a bulldozer which now had a shovel attached to the front.

"I can make a little turn on dirt. You think? No, and now I'm a day behind. I'm never going to get out of here," Lucci grumbled.

Franky, Kumadori, Jabra, Robin, Usopp and Sekhmet were standing nearby, watching him.

"Hey bro! Your car needs a paint job, and you need a tattoo!" Franky hollered.

"No thank you," Lucci said.

"Yoi-yoi! How about a taste of my organic teeeeeaaaaa," Kumadori offered.

"That devil juice?!" Jabra shouted.

"Pass," Lucci said.

"Watching him work is making me thirsty. Anybody else what something to drink?" Robin asked.

"Not me, Robin. I'm on one of those special diets. I'm a precisional instrument of speed and aero-manics," Sekhmet said.

"'You drive like you fix roads,'" Lucci said, mimicking Iceberg. "I'll show him. I'll show him!"

By nighttime, Lucci was repaving the road with Paulie watching him. Iceberg was about to close his clinic when he saw some tar had spilled out of the machine and landed on Lucci's car.

"Oh great! I hate it! Hate, hate, hate, hate it!" the race car driver shouted.

Iceberg smirked and said, "Music, sweet music." He entered the clinic.

Luffy was watching Lucci work as well. "Maybe this wasn't such a good idea," the boy said as he entered the motel.

"Galley-La! A happy place! Ok, Bessie! You think that's funny?! Great! I'm talking to Bessie now! I'M TALKING TO BESSIE!" Lucci shouted.
