A/N: Hello, I do hope you like this chapter and will continue reading. My mom mentioned going to Florida for Christmas on my way home from school today, and I asked if we could go to Pizza in the Hood again. She told me 'Girl. We could, but that doesn't mean we should'. The last time we were there I ate a whole Cheese Calzone that was about the length of a foot-long from Subway. That was her reason for saying it like that.

His crew hasn't forgotten his advice they just have to think of something fast or it ends up seeming like they forget. Vivi hasn't forgotten he's the Global Leader she just never mentions it, thinks of it in everything he does though.

The crew has decided to get answers from Luffy about it when he said he'd tell them. That is when they get Brook, the last of their crew. It ends up being during the War with Ace though. He mentions being the Global Leader more directly after that though. He can mention information and stuff like that openly because it's one of two things:

1)Beings don't know and can't find information on the Global Leader, all information about the title is locked in a section of the library he has.

Or

2)They already know he's the Global Leader and unconsciously know not to say anything for fear of him using his knowledge against them.

Chapter Six: The Calvary Arrives

Luffy's POV

Miss Valentine twisted Vivi's arm, angering me even more than I already was, which means I was furious now. "Did you really think you could escape from Baroque Works" no and I don't want to.

"Especially when someone with a 30,000,000B Bounty ends up like that?" I kept hearing Miss Valentine ask.

I didn't even try to grab my Staff since I don't see a point in it. If I try, Mr. 5 might do something that will scare Vivi but won't affect me. That's something I can't risk.

"I'm pleased that I am given the opportunity to thank them for what happened in Whiskey Peak. You wannabe Pirates should've never stuck your noses in such delicate issues" Mr. 5 informed what he thought were unconscious people. I don't see why he would need to talk to people he thinks are unconscious.

"We already captured your Swordsman and the other girl" that angered me even more.

"You caught Zoro?" I asked, definitely angry. "Then you will get cut down by him"

I know Zoro will be just fine. Nami isn't strong enough to beat them. She is smart yes, but she doesn't have a weapon. "You still talkin' big, even after one of my Kicky Bombs hit you in the face?"

"Like you can hurt me with that, Mr. 5. I'll make you pay if you hurt my Crew" I told him, lifting my face from the ground with ease. It really didn't hurt so I feel bad for worrying Vivi. I spit on his shiny shoe, making him look down at it.

He kicked my face. *Boom* "Luffy!" Vivi yelled in worry.

He continued to kick my face to the point where I lost count of how many times he did. I could care less about that though. I kept hearing Vivi yell my name, and Usopp's and Carue's. Even if I tried it would be hard to get out from under the Sea King's skeleton.

I don't want to use my Staff either. Even if barely any people, who are Pirates and Civilians, in this World know about my status. I don't want to use it so often to get me out of trouble.

That would mean I'm not strong enough to do anything without my powers as a Global Leader; I can't protect my Crew with my own strength.

Zoro's POV

"Here they are!"

Nami and I were thrown to the ground like rag dolls. I was being a real idiot when I thought that wax figure was Nami. "How naïve" my head was stepped on by whoever this guy was who threw us.

"Being ridiculed by people of their caliber is so embarrassing. I'm furious with myself for it!"

How do you think I feel?! I should've known it was a trap, but I didn't. "You can't help that you're weak" that was a new guy with a weird hairdo.

"Just set the candles, quickly!" the new man told the one that was stepping on my head. "What is that?" Nami asked. I tried looking where she was before I remembered who that new guy is. He's Mr. 3 from Baroque Works!

Luffy gave me a book on him when I showed very little interest in the group. I only showed real interest in the Company because Luffy told me that we will meet them very soon. Even helped me find the books on these people when I wanted to know more about them.

"Nami! Mr. Bushido!"

I turned my head at the familiar voice to see Vivi. "Vivi! What happened?! Weren't you with Luffy?!" Nami asked frantically. "Yes, but…" she was interrupted by Mr. 5, who I just remembered the name of.

"If you're wondering about Strawhat, I took care of him myself!" he sounded so proud of himself. "It was easy to" that annoyed me more than anything. A boy with as much power/influence as Luffy wouldn't be taken out so easily.

"You did huh?" I smirked, knowing it wasn't really true. He wouldn't be my Captain if he was that weak. I heard something like gears rotating and I knew what was happening. His Giant Candle something or whatever was starting. The wax move slowly covers its prey in wax, making them into Wax Figures.

We were put on the Cake-thing Mr. 3 fashioned, but that wasn't what annoyed me. The man's laugh is what annoyed me. "Welcome honored guests, to my Service Set!" Mr. 3 bowed when he was done cackling like a maniac.

I looked up at the rotating pumpkin, wondering if the figure will ever change.

"Is this how it feels like to be a candle on a cake?" I wondered out loud. "What's the spinning thing up there?" Nami asked.

"It's for Wax Vapor or something" I answered. "Huh?" I sighed at that, arms still crossed.

"Luffy showed me a book that he said I might need someday. Showed me a bunch of other books to. Said it would be a good way for me to pass the time as I worked out. There was a book on this guy, but I can't remember most of the useless stuff" I elaborated.

"And what stuff was 'useless' to you?!" Nami asked, angry with me. "Don't know, as I said I don't remember" I was now more annoyed than I was before.

I tried to see if I could cut the wax, finding that my Sword could only scratch it. "Man! This is hard" I complained when I heard the scraping noise. I held the blade to my face to examine the damage, if any.

"I can't put in my strength from this stance either" my brows furrowed in annoyance at how useless I've been so far. "Is that the Wax Vapor?!" Vivi asked in a panic. "Seems it's starting, soon we'll be like Wax Dolls"

Where are you Luffy?

"May you enjoy my 'Candle Service'!" Mr. 3 said when he got our attention with his laughing. "This wax haze will eventually change you into Wax Figures! The perfect 'human models' that I could not achieve, even with my own skills! They will literally capture your spirit!"

I tried to find a way to escape without showing that I was trying to. I can't give up on getting out of this mess. I promised Luffy I would protect Vivi and Nami and, for the most part, Usopp.

"Only if they really need it though" he had told me after that.

"Screw that!" Nami yelled at the Agent. "Why do we have to turn into your works of art?!" Nami yelled. I noticed a Giant that was on the back of the book Luffy gave to Nami when we were sailing on the river.

"Brogy! Quit sitting there and go on a rampage!" Nami yelled at the Giant. "Talk about a huge person" I said aloud.

"Anything you tell him is pointless!" Mr. 3 told Nami.

"He realized, just recently, that he shed proud and joyful tears of victory after killing a friend he fought with for over 100 years; without even realizing he suffered injuries beforehand" Mr. 3 laughed.

Now I'm really wondering where Luffy is. He wouldn't stand by and watch as despicable people like this tries to harm his Crew or friends, or others in general.

"There's no undoing what you've done now, idiot!" Mr. 3 yelled, laughing again. Now I'm furious.

"I knew about it" I saw the Giant clench his fist in the dirt when he spoke.

"When we first exchanged blows, I knew it. I knew he was hiding something" Brogy said. "If that is true, why didn't you cease your fighting? You're a liar!" Mr. 3 declared.

"A pipsqueak who doesn't know the first thing about duels, would never understand the meaning of those tears" Brogy told the man. He was angry, anyone could tell that much. "Are you saying I should shame a Warrior? One who hides the fact he's been weakened and tries to fight anyway?!" Brogy yelled.

"A Warrior who goes that far to fight, doesn't deserve anyone's pity!"

I do agree with what Brogy told the man. I wonder if Luffy will to.

"Now I know the reason behind it. Now that I know, I will finish this with my own hands!" this scared Mr. 3.

I was glad that the wax around his body broke. That means there is a way to escape this wax Mr. 3 made. How Brogy did it was something no Human could do though. He used his strength to break the wax. "It's the very least I can do for my very dear friend, Dorry!"

I admire his strength and resolve. When I saw what Mr. 5 was doing, I wanted to warn the Giant, but it was too late. Mr. 5 already flicked the Bomb at Brogy's face. "Brogy!" Vivi yelled in panic.

The Bombs kept coming, making me feel bad for not saying anything sooner. Brogy fell face-first on the ground with a loud *thud* and groan.

"Brogy!" Nami and Vivi both yelled in panic and worry.

Luffy's POV

"Usopp, Usopp?" I was trying to get his attention, and I hoped it was working. "Are you going to let them get away with this?" I asked. I know he wouldn't want that, so it was my best bet to get him to show any sign of being okay.

"No… I can't" he struggled to get out. I heard the moving of rocks and dirt next to my face. I looked up to see Carue. Seems he's not happy about this either. "You can't stand this… either, can you?" I asked the Bird.

'No! I can't! They hurt Vivi!' I smiled at the answer he yelled. "Then let's make them pay for what they did" I smiled, lifting my head to look at him.

I won't do something that will do more harm than good to my charges though.

Nami's POV

"Brogy!" I yelled with Vivi. They did nothing wrong and they were injured. Where are you Luffy?!

"Wax-Wax Arts! Handcuffs!" I heard the man call out in anger and annoyance. Crescents descended around Brogy's wrists before Mr. 3 continued to trap him. His hands were now completely covered in wax.

I looked away, not wanting to watch what will happen next, when Mr. 3 made four nails in the air. I heard the Giant scream in pain, but I still didn't look.

The man continued laughing when I heard a loud *thud*. "Accelerate, Candle Service!" I heard the pumpkin spin faster when the man said this.

Zoro's POV

I heard Nami coughing when the Wax Vapor came down quicker than before. "Make it look like you're in as much pain as possible!" like I'm going to listen to you. That is just what he wants so I intend to do the exact opposite.

"The expression of pain and agony are exactly what I look for in art" Mr. 3 explained with a smile. "You call this art, you freak?! You'll pay for doing that to Broggy! *Cough* You'll regret this! You understand" Nami yelled at the man.

After a while, Brogy started crying. And Mr. 3 noticed that.

"That struggle! That sorrow! That grief! That's what I am looking for" the man exclaimed happily. Not quite sure that's right. He seems more disappointed than in pain or agony. "What a marvelous work of art!" he yelled with enthusiasm.

"Oh no! My hands! I don't want to die this way! Can't we do something about this?!" Nami panicked. Vivi started to panic not long after. I looked at Brogy before Nami yelled at me.

"Do something Zoro!"

"Old man" I said, getting the Giant's attention. "You can still move, right? So can I" I told him. "Let's crush these guys together"

I unsheathed my Sword, intending to cut off my legs to free myself. "What are you going to do Zoro? You're not seriously thinking…" she was interrupted when I unsheathed my other Sword.

"Quit joking around!" Nami yelled at me again in another panic. "It's no joke, it's the only way out of here" was my only answer. "What are you gonna do?" I wondered since they won't do this.

"What are you talking about?! What would Luffy think of this?!" Vivi asked. I know Luffy won't approve, but he's not here to stop me, and he likely wouldn't anyway.

"We're going to die anyway, might as well die fighting. Luffy would agree with that" I told her, determined to go through with this. "No reason to die heroically for this scum"

"You're bluffing, there's no way you'll go through with this" Mr. 3 really doesn't know me then. "What a cheeky runt" Brogy chuckled. "I'm pathetic, seems I lost the will to even fight"

I smirked at this because he was right, I am cheeky. "I'll fight alongside you and that fighting spirit!" Brogy declared. "How will you even fight afterwards?!" Nami asked.

"No idea" I shrugged. I have no idea whatsoever on that. "I plan to win though" I was being cocky, and I really don't care.

"I-I'll fight to" I nodded at what Vivi said. Nami was surprised by the Princess's proclamation. "Ready runt?" Brogy asked. I nodded at this.

I went to cut my legs off hearing familiar yelling in the distance. I smiled at the yelling before I started moving my Swords to amputate my legs.

Luffy's POV

I was running far behind Luffy#2 and Usopp#2 and Carue#2. The original duo were hidden elsewhere in the Jungle. I was invisible and sound-proofed, so I don't need to hide.

"I'm gonna kick your butts!" Luffy#2 yelled as the trio flew past the Baroque Works Agents.

Luffy#2: "Let's do it! Usopp!"

Usopp#2: "Yeah!"

Luffy#2: "Bird!"

Carue#2 quaked his approval at that making me smile. "Luffy! Usopp!" Nami was happy to see us. Zoro looked to be annoyed though and I'm unsure if it makes sense or not. "Carue!" Vivi yelled in shock. She was glad to see her bird.

"We've taken on your frustration! Master Brogy!" Usopp#2 told the Giant. "Beat them up so much they lose their forms. Send them flying far away somewhere to!" Nami told the replicated group.

"We will, they ruined the Giant Captains' duel!" Luffy#2 agreed, cracking his knuckles. "So, you're the one with the highest Bounty in the East Blue? A Captain that can't be captured for any number of Berries if his Crew is harmed, you also have to be brought in alive" Mr. 3 mentioned.

It's more than just my Crew, but I won't say that. "How the Marines' standards have fallen!" Mr. 3 said. "Wow! What an odd hairstyle!" I rolled on the ground laughing at that. "Be quiet!" I laughed harder at that.

"It's the number three and on fire!" Luffy#2's face was funny. The reactions were even funnier though. I started laughing harder and rolling faster on the ground as I heard the conversation. "Break the pillar first Luffy! We're turning into Wax Figures"

That's sort of obvious Nami. You're trapped on a pillar, it would be any good Captain's priority to free their Crew. "Oh! You're in trouble?!" too bad I'm not, completely, that kind of Captain. "No problem here" Zoro said, making me frown.

"Your leg!" Nami observed in worry. I jumped onto the pillar, finding that blood was flowing down the thing. "Seems I went halfway through"

I frowned at the man's casual-like comment. I would not have stopped him, but that doesn't mean I like what he did. "How is that no problem?!" Nami yelled. I do agree with that.

"Heal" I said when I took out my Staff. Zoro's wounds and my Staff's gem glowed white when I said this. "For now, Luffy, can you bust this pillar? I'll leave the rest to you" Zoro asked my replica.

"No problem!" my replica smirked. I went to the other side of the column to do what Zoro suggested. I can't let them see that I'm already breaking it. "Hurry up already! We're going to solidify!" Nami yelled.
