Ninth chapter! I am really excited about this story myself and I feel like I have just gotten started with the story! :) But don't worry, this won't be one of those endless fanfics :P

...

Nami saw how Sanji fell to the ground and thought that the blond was unconcious.

"SANJI-KUN!" Nami rushed next to the chef,"What did you do to him?! Why are you chasing him?!"

Sara looked a little confused for a while. "I was ordered to do this. Don't take it personally, it's just my job. He is still alive, I can't kill someone with my powers!" Sara reassured the navigator and seemed to think if she should attack her or not.

"Nami-san..." Sanji said, sounding really confused about the situation.

"Sanji-kun! Are you alright?!" Nami worried and looked at the man in front of her.

What is this?! It's horrible! I know Nami-san is next to me and I can also feel Brook and Sara-chan's presences but...

Then Sanji realised what was going on. He gasped slightly at the realisation but he couldn't hear what kind of a noise escaped his mouth. He couldn't see the looks on his friends' faces, he couldn't smell the dust in the air, taste the blood in his mouth or feel Nami holding his hand: he was senseless.

"Don't let her touch you!" Sanji adviced strictly.

"Sanji-kun...?" Nami asked, confused by the tone of Sanji's voice.

"She took my senses!" Sanji informed and Nami gasped.

"But that's..." Nami started but couldn't finish her sentence. She swallowed hard and thought about the situation. It didn't look like Sara would attack again, like she had already done what she was told to do. Still, there was a chance that she might change her mind.

"Brook! Let's get out of here! Can you return to your body?!" Nami ordered and Brook nodded.

"I will return shortly!" Brook promised and disappeared inside the wall. Sara just stared at Nami and Sanji and squinted her eyes.

Sara turned her head away from Nami but the words she said were clear:

"Escape"

...

Chopper was feeling pretty miserable. Sense of smell had been a big part of his life and now it was gone. It was somehow really weird for him: he had used to recognise his friends by smell and now he couldn't trust his ability anymore.

"Well, now Nami can use her perfumes as much as she likes," Chopper managed to chuckle slightly and Zoro smiled at the doctor, happy to notice that he hadn't really given up just because he lost one of his five senses.

...

Franky and Robin were trying to fight Pretty who was far from pretty: her form was monsterous and she was really dangerous enemy. If Franky wasn't a cyborg, he would already have a huge puncture wound in his shoulder. Their enemy's beak had suffered some damage instead of the hentai's shoulder.

Robin was hiding and helping Franky from the background. Flying enemy was a difficult opponent but Robin could use her powers to bring the enemy down by pulling her wings so that she couldn't fly. Their enemy was powerful but pretty stupid when she didn't realise why she was falling down everytime she passed the crow's nest.

Usopp had trouble keeping up with his enemy. Dennis was pretty fast and pretty strong, strong enough to break bones with single hit. Usopp's nose was in a need of cosmetic surgery.

It was hard to figh the guy like this so Usopp changed his tactics after seeing the caves in the cliff. He could use the same tactic he had used in Alabasta and Fishman island. Sometimes the old tactics just worked best, especially when your enemy was not aware of them.

...

Sanji was doing his best to detect any enemies close to them because it was all he could do. He was totally at Nami's mercy at the moment. He couldn't see, hear, feel, taste or smell. The only option he had was to trust his nakama at the moment and let them lead the way.

Then Sanji felt one annoying presence getting closer to them,Why he has to see me like this?! Oh I am somehow happy I can't hear his teasing or see the face he is making!

"Zoro! Chopper!" Nami shouted at the duo when she saw them,"Did you find any explosives or traps?"

The look on Chopper's face was so pathetic that Zoro had to hit him,"No, we didn't. That woman did something and Chopper lost his sense of smell..."

Nami looked at Chopper and sighed,"It's okay, Chopper, don't blame yourself! Even this idiot here got himself caught by that woman!" Nami said and pointed at Sanji who didn't react at all.

"Ero-cook got himself caught?! That's pathetic! I thought you would do better than that even if she is a woman!" Zoro tried to annoy the chef but was surprised to notice the blond didn't react like usual. Actually he didn't react at all. "What senses she took from him?"

"All five senses," Nami sighed deeply and Chopper blinked.

"That's really bad! I mean, how can we communicate?!" Chopper worried but Nami had no answer.

"Well, he can use haki to keep an eye for friends and foes and dodge attacks but that's all he can do. He is pretty useless at the moment!" Zoro said and got an annoyed look from Nami.

"I have the feeling Marimo is insulting me!" Sanji hissed but said nothing more.

"He can speak?" Zoro wondered.

"Of course he can!" Chopper said,"Even though he can't hear his own speech, speaking is so natural to him that it shouldn't be a problem! But there will be some other problems..."

"What?" Nami inquired.

"Well, he can't feel a thing so he can't feel if he is injured or if he is tired. So he might push himself too hard and when he gets his senses back, all the fatigue gets him at once..." Chopper sighed and hoped that Sanji realised it himself.

This is pretty damn annoying because I know Marimo must have mocked me when he realised I got caught but I can't react at all! And I can't communicate with them because I can't hear what they are speaking!

Then Sanji felt an attack coming from behind. Of course he felt it because he had to trust his haki all the time." EVERYONE GET DOWN!" He shouted and hoped that they would dodge the attack.

...

"He escaped?!" Captain Dess hissed,"From you? I am disappointed in you,Sara!"

"There was nothing I could do. I managed to take his senses but his friends helped him to escape,"Sara explained and hoped that her fianceé would believe her explanation. The simpleton he was, he believed the obvious lie.

"It's alright, I just need to go and finish him off by myself!" Captain Dess said and was about to leave the room when a fist hit him trough the door and he flew towards the wall. Sara looked at the scene in disbelief and turned towards the door to see Strawhat Luffy storming into the room. "YOU ARE NOT HURTING MY NAKAMA!"

"Sara! Do something!" Captain Dess shouted and apparently hoped that Sara would remove all the senses from Luffy but she didn't. She touched him, indeed, but Luffy didn't notice anything special expect that his eyesight got sharper and his hearing was better but he didn't know that there was a prize for superhuman senses. Well, as if he needed those superhuman senses in this battle.

"Don't worry", Sara whispered to Luffy's ear,"Your friends are alright and your chef will return back to normal in few days. Escape when you have the chance."

...

Usopp had managed to lure his enemy to the caves. Apparently his enemy had as bad sense of direction as Zoro and he headed even deeper to the caves when Usopp stepped out and prepared to shoot. Why was a person like him a messenger in the first place?

"Hissatsu Fire Bird Star!"

His fight was over. He got only a broken nose and few bruised ribs.

...

Robin and Franky were playing around with their enemy. Pretty was pretty stupid and simple person who didn't use any weird tactics, just straight-forward attack which were easy to predict. It was hard, however, to cause any damage to her when she was flying and her skin was strong enough to protect her from Franky's beams.
