...

"SARA-SAN!" Nami shouted when she saw the woman starting to fall together with Captain Dess.

"SARA!" Chopper yelled but couldn't move from the spot when he saw Sara smiling.

"Really...this is enough...I am happy..."Sara thought when her life was flashing in front of her eyes. A tear made it's way to her eye, a dissapointment towards her life. She had never wanted to admit how she had wanted to live her life freely but she hadn't even dreamt of escaping.

...

"A LADY NEEDS ME!" Sanji shouted when his instinct took over him. He managed to catch Sara before she fell but Captain Dess managed to catch a hold of his leg too. Even though he couldn't feel the hold in his leg, he somehow knew that the situation was complicated. He couldn't know that there was a deep fall below him

"MARIMO!" Sanji shouted to the direction where he could sense Zoro's presence,"IF YOU DON'T CATCH HER I SWEAR I WILL KILL YOU!"

He threw Sara as hard as he could towards the green-haired idiot. He had to trust the idiot at the moment because he could not possibly save her alone without his senses.

"YOU OWE ME ONE,CURLY-BROWS!" Zoro shouted back even though he knew the chef couldn't hear him.

Zoro pulled the woman up to safety and went back to the edge to see the scene below them: Sanji was smirking widely, not really realising the situation he was in when he started to fall down with their enemy and the whole building started to grumble.

"What the...?!" Zoro wondered when he realised the whole building was about to collapse.

"HE PROBABLY KICKED SOME IMPORTANT PILAR WHEN HE SAVED SARA-SAN!" Nami guessed and headed towards the exit."LET'S GET OUT OF HERE FIRST!"

"WHAT ABOUT ERO-COOK!?" Zoro hissed angrily, apparently worried about the blond.

"HE WILL MANAGE! HE IS NOT GOING TO DIE!" Nami shouted and hoped that her guess was right.

"STUPID ERO-COOK! STUPID ALL-THE-LADIES-MAN!" Zoro cursed while running.

"SANJI!" Chopper shouted and did his best to prevent himself from rushing to Sanji's aid.

...

Captain Dess stirred only a while after the collapsion. He had expected pain but he felt nothing. Absolutely nothing.

"So this was your parting gift, Sara?" He chuckled and coughed up blood. He laughed at the idea that his fiancé had decided to give him peaceful death without pain. He had been an ass towards her mostly.

He took a look around him. His vision was getting blurry but he could still recognise the familiar, annoying blond just few meters from him. His black suit jacked was soaked with blood but there was this ridicously gently smile on his face.

"What an idiot...he did that just to save one woman!" Captain Dess hissed,"Take care of my fianceé, will you?"

Then he closed his eyes and never opened them again.

...

Strawhats watched how the building grumbled down and soon it couldn't be described as a building anymore.

"Zoro..." Chopper sighed and fought back his tears.

"What?" The swordman asked in a neutral tone.

"There were no more explosives..." Chopper said with a trembling voice.

"But that kind of a collapsion could kill anyone even without bombs,"Robin stated when she arrived to the scene. "What has happened in here?"

"ROBIN!" Nami greeted the older woman with a hug. She couldn't help crying.

"Why did you come over here?" Zoro inquired seriously.

"I couldn't miss all the noises coming from here..." Robin said while looking around her,"I can see not everyone are here...Where are Cook-san and Luffy?"

Zoro hadn't even noticed their captain missing when he had focused on the chef."Where the hell did that idiot go?!"

...

Sara regained her conciousness and was surprised to notice she wasn't injured. She had expected to be crushed down underneath some huge pilar but she had been wrong.

"Sara, are you alright?" Strawhat Luffy asked. He had protected Sara and he had some minor wounds.

"Why did you protect me?!" Sara shouted at Luffy,"I don't deserve it!"

"Maybe you don't,"Luffy said without a moment of hesitation."But Sanji would kill me if I wouldn't take care of you!"

Then Sara remembered how Sanji had saved her by sacrificing himself.

"I am sorry..." Sara staggered,"If I wasn't here, your chef..." She was fighting back her tears.

"Sanji is alive,"Luffy said confidently."He won't die if there are ladies who would cry over his dead body."

Sara couldn't understand how the captain of Strawhat pirates was so sure that his friend was alive or how he was able to smile despite the situation. She would only cry and feel desperate that she could do nothing to help her friend at the moment.

"How are we gonna get out of here?" Sara asked carefully after a moment of silence.

"Well, even though I am idiot I know we shouldn't rush off without thinking first,"Luffy stated, sounding pretty clever at the moment.

...

"Do you think it's safe enough for us to go and look for those guys?" Zoro inquired from Nami who had returned from looking around and checking if the building would collapse even more.

"I didn't know you of all the people would care about safety..." Nami raised her brow,"I think it should be fine but we should be careful...we don't know what parts might collapse and end up killing our nakama..."

Everyone moved closer to the former pirate mansion. It was somehow impossible that someone would have survived this but nobody wanted to think about that.

"They are both alive..." Zoro said quietly but everyone heard it,"I can feel their presences..haki doesn't react to dead."

Everyone sighed in relief and allowed themselves to relax a little bit. Their chef was alive down there somewhere - he was alive.

...

Usopp and Franky stayed at the ship to guard their ship. They had heard all the noises coming from the mansion too but decided to stay when Nico Robin volunteered to check if everything was alright.

"Somehow I feel really nervous about this..."Usopp admitted and sighed deeply.

"Thinking it won't help a thing! Come on, help me fix this sail!" Franky said calmly and pointed at the sail that had dealt some damage in the fight the previous night.

...

Sanji slowly regained his conciousness. Well, he couldn't be too sure if he was concious or not because Sara had taken his senses.

He tried to use haki and he detected few of his nakama above of him, apparently looking for him. He could also feel the presence of Sara-chan.

Apparently that idiot succeeded in catching her...Now I owe him one!

The chef didn't dare to move, however. He had this weird feeling that he was trapped and he shouldn't move if he didn't want to die. It was really hard, however, when he thought that he shouldn't just lay down in somewhere and think of all the possibilities.
