Firehart: Strawberry Black Cat DOES NOT OWN One Piece!

Recap time! (you're gonna read it even though you remember what happened last chapter!)

Then as if Nami's silent plea for help was answered an arm came and stopped Hohojiro from hitting Nami. "Don't you DARE hurt Nami you bastard!" Yelled the voice that Nami identified to be Luffy's.

"Luffy…." Said Nami weakly as she began to lose consciousness.

"Don't worry Nami" Luffy said "I won't let this bastard hurt you again!"

"Heh, come to save the girl? I'm not going to give her up easily, with her skills I can conquer the entire Grand Line! Hohojiro said

Luffy glanced over to where Nami was and saw how badly she was hurt. Her head was bleeding, even in the dim light he could see bruises beginning to form, she was shivering and she looked awful. "You're gonna pay for this" Luffy said quietly, his words soaked in venom.

"Shahaha! I am, am I?" Hohojiro laughed "I'd like to see you try boy"

When Luffy heard a small coughing sound he looked over to see Nami coughing up blood. He wasn't bright but he had seen Chopper's reaction whenever him or Zoro coughed up blood enough to know that it wasn't good. 'I've got to finish this, and fast' Luffy thought.

'Remember, Nami's life is in danger as well' Said a voice in Luffy's head

'Who is it and how are you in my head!?' Luffy replied completely confused.

'It's Gardevoir, I can't enter because there's some kind of barrier outside of the ship preventing me from entering….but I'll try to help as much as I can' She said

'Anyway, you don't have much time, Nami's badly injured, even with willpower as strong as hers, her body was already weakened before Hohojiro did this to her. I don't know how much longer she can hold on.' Gardevoir finished

'Right! Time to go kick this guy's ass!' Luffy thought back

"Gomu Gomu no Pistol!" Luffy shouted as he made his arm stretch in a forceful punch towards Hohojiro.

"You think a weak attack like that will harm me boy?" Hohojiro asked while stopping Luffy's attack with one hand

"Now, let me show you what a real attack is like" Hohojiro said before yelling "Devil's Jaw!" And lunging towards Luffy wile trying to clamp his jaws shut as soon as he was in striking distance of one of Luffy's limbs.

"Gomu Gomu no Battle-" Luffy yelled, preparing to attack when Gardevoir stopped him

'No! Don't use that attack!' She said

'Why not?' Luffy replied back

'Remember what happened at Arlong park when you used that attack, the building collapsed, that wouldn't be good' She said back

Then Hohojiro managed to bite Luffy and take a chunk out of his arm. Luffy instinctively jumped back out of pain and surprise. Then after realizing how strong his opponent really was Luffy said "Gear 2nd!" and his body turned a bright pink while steam came from all over his body.

"Well that's a nice magic trick isn't it boy?" Hohojiro said, thinking that Gear 2nd was purely for show "Now, take this! Shark Slash!" He yelled as he ran towards Luffy at his top speed clamping his jaws together and apart as he ran.

Just then Luffy seemingly disappeared "Wha…Where did that brat go!?" "How is possible for someone to be that fast!?" Hohojiro said while looking around rapidly to see if he could find Luffy.

"Gomu Gomu no Gatling!" Luffy yelled as he threw punches at Hohojiro at unimaginable speed.

Hohojiro coughed up some blood as he got up "Heh, better than I thought you'd be boy" he said "Looks like that little trick isn't just for show, I'm going to have 'ta get serious" "Bite of Death!" He yelled as he opened his mouth as wide as he could, aiming to crush Luffy's head with his massive teeth.

Hohojiro missed Luffy's arm and instead hit a barrel full of wine in the corner of the room next to Nami. He looked over to see the girl unconscious next to the wall a few inches away from him. Hohojiro grabbed Nami by her neck with his large hand and lifted her into the air. "If you attack me this girl will surely die" He said "Just look at her, she's bleeding all over and looks like she's on the verge of death, all it would take is 1 hit to kill her" He finished

'What should I do!?' Luffy thought 'If I attack Nami's gonna die but id I don't attack that bastard'll kill her!'

'If you would allow me to interfere for a moment' Gardevoir said while a green light enveloped Hohojiro's body, allowing an opening for Luffy to take Nami.

As soon as Luffy took Nami back from Hohojiro the green light disappeared and Hohojiro came running at him with his strongest attack. Luffy quickly set Nami down and yelled "Gomu Gomu no Giant Pistol!" as his now gigantic fist hit Hohojiro dead on.

Then after a large bang everything went silent, smoke and dust were everywhere, disabling anyone from seeing anything. Luffy kept on his guard to see if Hohojiro would attack back but he didn't seem to. Had he won or was Hohojiro still able to fight?
