Recap:
"RORONOA!" Smoker yelled as he sent his weapon at Zoro, who blocked with his sword. "Why did you save me?"
"I was following the Captain's orders." Zoro replied. "Don't think you have to thank me or anything. It was just one of his whims. Forget about it."
"Then I assume you won't mind if I carry out my official duties." Smoker stated more than asked.
"Hear that? That's what we get for rescuing a Marine." Sanji said.
Luffy and Usopp got up, now back to their strength. "Alright, men! We're heading straight to Alubarna!" Usopp yelled.
"Where the hell is Crocodile!?" Luffy asked, making the crowd attention turn to them. Zoro sighed.
"Ah, they finally came to." Nami stated, Luffy growling like a beast for a fight then he looked at Smoker.
"Smokey! You wanna fight!?" Luffy asked, getting to his stance.
"GAH! SMOKER! Oi, Luffy! Don't do it! Let run!" Usopp yelped.
'When is he actually being serious?' Smoker thought.
"Go." Smoker said, Luffy's face read surprise and suspicion.
"But this is the last time I'll let you go." Smoker said. "When we meet again, your life is over." Luffy just quietly stare at him.
"There they are! Back up Captain Smoker!" the marines shouted as they came. All of them, expect Luffy and Yuna began to run to the east. Zoro looked over at Luffy and Yuna who wasn't following yet.
"Luffy, Yuna, hurry up! What are you two doing?" Zoro said.
"Yeah …" Luffy said. He turned to Smoker and given him a goofy smile. "Y'know, I don't hate you."
Yuna smile, bowed to him. "Arigato, Smoker."
Smoker looked at them in surprise. "Get out of here NOW!" He demanded as he attacks Luffy with his weapon.
Luffy nearly dodge the attack, Yuna giggles a bit as they ran and joined their crew.
"Faster! Faster! Faster!" Usopp said while running. Luffy run in front the group, well … you know because he's the leader.
"YOSH! GUYS, WE'RE GOING STRAIGHT TO ALUBARNA!"
"AYE!"

Chapter eight: Memories and Crocodile defeated
"Oi! Don't tell me we're supposed to run all the way to Alubarna!" Usopp complained as the Straw Hat crew running away from the marines.
"Oh, Eyelashes!" Nami exclaimed. "Where did Eyelashes go!?"
"Whatever! There's stables in this city, right?" Luffy asked. "Let's get some horses!"
"But, the Marines are in the city!" Vivi said.
"Set your mind at ease! Look up ahead." Sanji said.
"Oi! Guys!" Chopper yelled, riding on top of a huge crab with Eyelashes next to him.
"A CRAB!?" Usopp yelled as his eyes imitated the crab eyes.
"Chopper!" Nami exclaimed.
"That's a Moving Crab!" Vivi said in awe.
"Looks tasty!" Luffy drooled as Yuna slapped side of his head.
"You can eat after we're finish dealing with Crocodile."
"Let's ride!" Chopper said.
"We can ride it!?" Luffy asked, stretched his arm at one of the crab eyes and hugged it. "Nice to meet ya!"
"Don't its face look a little shady?" Nami asked.
"You bought something amazing back with you again." Sanji said.
"He's a friend of Eyelashes!" Chopper said. "Eyelashes was born in this town. So he has friend all over the place! But they're all pervert …"
"Why am I not surprise …" Yuna dead panned with her poker face as everyone ride on top the huge crab.
"Poker face!" Usopp yelled at her, annoyed.
"My word! Moving Crabs stay burrowed in the sand so long … that they're like phantom crabs, but we have one right here!" Vivi said.
"It pretty fast, isn't it?" Zoro asked.
"Guys, hold on tight!" Chopper said. "Yosh! Get set! Let's go!" The huge crab began moving, then Yuna suddenly feel something is approve them.
Vivi screamed as a familiar hook whipped around her and dragged her off the crab.
"Vivi!" Yuna and Nami yelled.
"STOP! Chopper!" Zoro commanded as Chopper stopped the crab.
"It's him!" Luffy grabbed Vivi off from the hook, but the hook grabbed him now.
"Oi, Luffy!" Zoro yelled.
"That idiot!" Sanji exclaimed.
"Onii-san!" Yuna called her brother.
"Luffy-san!" Vivi yelled.
"You guys go on ahead!" Luffy said. "I'LL BE FINE BY MYSELF!"
Everyone froze at the moment as Luffy landed or rather hit on the sand.
"Make sure you get her there safely! Make sure!" Luffy grinned.
Yuna bite her lower lip. "Baka Onii-san." She turned to Chopper.
"Chopper, Let's go! From here … straight to Alubarna!"
"R-Right. LET'S GO!" The giant crab started moving again, leaving their captain behind.
'Please stay alive, Onii-san … I don't want lose you too …' Yuna thought with fear.
-X-
Zoro felt as if just sitting during their ride to Alubarna would bring nothing, so he used his one of his katana to lift "Eyelashes" as a weight.
It was better than what Usopp was doing with this free time, who was feeding his false adventures to Chopper, who was too gullible to not believe them.
"Zoro, aren't you just wasting your strength?" Nami nagged.
"Shut up!" He said.
"Leave him be, Nami." Sanji said. "If he doesn't exert his strength, he'll be beside himself with tension. He gets worked up easily and besides …" He smoked his cigarette, removing from his mouth. "He just got a full-blown taste of the level of the Shichibukai."
"Oi, jackass. What're you trying to say?" Zoro questioned.
"Alright, I'll tell you." Sanji replied. "You're afraid that Luffy might lose."
"ME!? AFRIAD!? YOU … PREETY EYESBROW!"
"Kaching! Now I'm pissed! You MARIMO-HEAD!" Sanji retorded.
"STOP THIS FIGHT THIS INSTANT!"
Zoro and Sanji stopped, turning their attention to their Vice-captain. The rest stare at her with their shock expression.
"O-Onii-san won't lose! Because he's strong! HE WON'T LOSE!" Yuna yelled loudly as she breathing heavily. All of them just stared.
"That's right. He's fine. Everyone …" Vivi reassured. "Luffy-san won't lose! We made a promise, right? We said we'd wait at Alubarna! Right, Yuna?" Yuna looked Vivi.
"G-Gomen, I lost control of myself …" Yuna apologized of her action to her crew.
"No, I should be the one who say sorry." Sanji pat her head. "You're the one worrying about Luffy the most."
"Stop worrying too much." Nami knocked Yuna forehead, making her squeaked out an 'ow' as she held her forehead.
"Nami-san's right. You need to pull yourself together as our Vice-captain, Yuna-chan." Sanji said calmly.
"If we had followed you in that state, we'll be totally lost." Zoro murmured.
'Minna …' Yuna thought then she smile warmly. "I'm understand, thank you. I'll pull myself together for everyone."
"Yosh! Now let's face towards Alubarna!" Nami yelled cheerfully. "Let's go, Scissors!"
"What that supposed to mean?" (U)
"It's the crab's name." (N)
"Scissors!?" (U)
"Got a problem with that!?" (N)
"Not at all." (U)
-X-
"Yuna, are you alright?" Vivi asked the brunette.
"Huh?" was all she can say. It's already night fall as they continue traveling on the giant crab.
"Your face look a bit pale, are you sick?" Chopper asked.
Yuna smiled to the blue-nose reindeer.
"I'm alright … it just my intuition kick in again."
"Your intuition? What do you mean?" Usopp asked
"It kinda hurting my head like something really bad was going to happen …" Yuna explained, rubbing her forehead.
"I didn't hit you that hard, right?" Nami asked as Yuna shook her head.
"I can also tell if the person was lying or not. And somehow I kinda can read people minds." She continued. Usopp and Chopper stare at her with stars in their eyes.
"SO COOL ~!" Both of them exclaimed.
"I know it cool. But somehow, my intuition always right. I just don't know why …" Yuna wore a sad expression.
"Then what your intuition saying now?" Zoro asked in curious.
"It about Onii-san." All of them froze at the moment. "S-Something really bad happen to Onii-san. I couldn't help but worrying …" Zoro sighed as he patted her head.
Yuna looked at Zoro in surprise. "Get a hold of yourself, you're our Vice-captain. I may be the first mate but you know Luffy more than anyone, that the reason you are our Vice-captain."
Yuna blinks and slowly smiled from Zoro speech, the next thing Zoro knew. He was hugged by the brunette.
"Arigato." Yuna said one simple word, has make Zoro smile.
"MARIMO! HOW DARE YOU HUG YUNA-CHAN!" Sanji yelled, pointing at him.
"She the one who hugging me! Curly Eyebrows!" Zoro yelled back. Before both of them start fight each other, Yuna cut in.
"Sanji, stop being mean and apologize to him." She said after released the swordsman from her hug.
"B-But, Yuna-chan -"
"No 'but', apologize to Zoro now. Vice-Captain order." Yuna pouted, making Sanji's face cover in sweats.
"… S-Sorry, Marimo." Sanji said bitterly. Zoro started to laugh, making the Cook blushed embarrassed.
"She has over powered Sanji …" Usopp sweat dropped as Nami sighed.
-Sometime later-
"WHAT!? THIS CRAB CAN'T CROSS THE RIVER!?" Usopp exclaimed.
"Moving Crabs live in the desert." Vivi defended. "They can't stand of water."
"But it's a crab! A CRAB!" Usopp protected. "It's not a shrimp, right!? DO SOMETHING!"
Then they start spurring a huge argument on what are they going to do, that when Chopper spoke up.
"That's it!" He exclaimed. "Scissors loves dancing girls!"
"Like this?" Nami asked, taking off her robe.
"He's looking this way." Chopper commented.
Scissors look at Nami with hearts appeared on his hearts, along with two pervert –Sanji and Eyelashes-. Scissors ran with lighting speed.
"He accelerated!"
"NAMI-SWAAAN ~!"
"You managed to break two animals with your dumb routine!"
"Yosh! ERO POWER!"
"And … how does this solve our problem? CHOPPER!?"
Scissors is now running across the river.
"YES!" Chopper cheered.
"Oi, oi, oi. This is really something. I can't believe it." Sanji commented.
"This is great! It's a miracle! Just stay on the water's surface the whole way! Run! Run! Run the whole way! Go!"
"It going to sink …" Yuna dead panned.
"What?" Usopp confused.
"My intuition saying it going to sink … Now." She said as her prediction come true.
Scissors began slowly falling into the river.
"We're sinking! Gyaah!" Usopp screamed.
Now they all immersed from the water.
"DON'T SINK, STUPID CRAB!" Usopp yelled.
"We don't have time to stand around screaming." Zoro said, with Chopper atop his head. "Keep moving."
"Oi. J-Just hold on a second." Usopp exclaimed. "Aren't there any ships? How far is it to the other shore?"
"About 50 kilometers." Vivi responded.
"WE CAN'T SWIM THAT FAR!" Usopp barked. Then a huge catfish appeared out of the water, making Usopp screaming.
"A Rare Sandora Catfish! They call it that because it's so rare to see one!" Vivi exclaimed/stated.
"Spare us the nature special!"
"And people are its favorite food!"
"SAY THAT PART FIRST!"
Yuna was about to went her flame mode, that was when they heard a large 'THUNK' and looked back from their feverish swimming to see a familiar creatures.
KUOOOOOOOO
"Kung Fu Dugongs!" Usopp exclaimed. They climbed onto the large fish as the Dugongs dragged the catfish along the water.
"They said: 'We cannot abandon our Master's disciples.'" Chopper said.
"Well … we're not really Luffy's disciples." Usopp sweat dropped as Yuna giggles.
"But we're safe now!" Vivi exclaimed.
-X-
"Thank you!" Vivi waves to the Kung Fu Dugongs as they returned to the water.
The crew finally reaches the shore of Alubarna, the sun almost rise out.
"We're making good time." Zoro said. "Do you think we'll make it?"
"It's hard to say. Even riding Eyelashes-kun, we still might not make it." Vivi responded.
"And he can only take two people!" Usopp said. "And if Baroque Works is going to attack us, they're going to do it closer to the city! Isn't there any way to get us all there together?"
Yuna turned her head, feeling someone is approved to them across the desert. "Someone is coming this way."
"What is it, the enemy!?" Usopp yelped. "Th-Th-Th-Th-Th-They're on to us already!?" He stuttered as his eyes bugled out.
"N-No, it's … Carue!" Vivi exclaimed as they saw Carue along with other seven ducks, running up to them. "And the Super Spot-Billed Duck Squad! You come to help us!"
-X-
After few minutes devised a plan. They all ride a duck from the squad and wear the same cloak, so they wouldn't know which person was her as Vivi try to stop the Rebel Army with Carue.
Yuna –who also wearing the same cloak- riding the medium size female duck. The duck wearing a red French hat and a pink scarf.
All of them changing towards the city and the enemies between them and the city. One of the enemies pulled a huge bazooka, firing something out. A small baseball landed on their path.
"Get away from it!" Zoro yelled under his hood as they jumped out the way, splitting up to different gates.
The brunette went with Usopp team but they went to different way until she and the duck end up in somewhere middle of the street with someone chasing them all the way there.
"Stop!" Yuna commended, making the duck stop running.
She turned to the man who chased them. He looked around 20 year old with silver emo hair, dark purple eyes. He is wearing purple sleeved-less coat, black long-sleeved shirt, grey jean and black boots.
"Finally stop running?" The man tried to catch his breath. "Come on now. Show me your face after chasing you all this way here."
"You did a good job for catching up." Yuna removed her hood. "But if you're looking for the princess, you're chasing the wrong person."
"Oho, if isn't the (in)famous White Flame Yuna." The man smirked.
Yuna jump off the female duck then patted her head. "Thank for taking me here. You should go hide now." The duck nodded as she ran off somewhere safe.
"If my information was right, you're Crocodile's special assassin, Nightmare. Has the power of Memori Memori No Mi* and also has bounty of 58,000,000 Beli."
Nightmare laughed. "They are right about you know almost everything."
"I'll take that as a compliment …" Yuna rubbed back of her head then went to her stance. "But if it a fight you want then it a fight you get!"
Yuna charged and punched him in the stomach, send the silver-haired flying into the buildings, crushed through few walls.
The smokes covered where Nightmare landed, he coughed some blood out as he slowly stands up, held his stomach. "Man, your punch is hard …. Are you even human?"
"Nope, I'm just a girl who went through to hell of trainings." Yuna said calmly.
Nightmare chuckled as he smirked. "Then, let's us begin." He charged at her, kick her left side but Yuna quickly dodge, flip jump behind him and punch his back.
But he dodged, jumped back. "I think I should be serious now, huh?"
The brunette raised her eyebrow as a black orb appeared in front of the silver-haired emo. "DARK MIRAGE!"
The orb suddenly expanded largely, Yuna try to avoid it but she failed as she shield her eyes with her arms.
Silence was the only thing heard through her ears as she slowly removed her arms, seeing darkness everywhere.
Yuna only can hear herself breathing in the dark and then she hears some growling.
"Ahhh!" She screamed in pain as she feels something bite her left arm really hard.
She closed her eyes then reopens them with a white flame ignited on her right eye, shown reddish-brown color with a symbol of a target in her pupil.
The flame burned with some light, shown a wolf a-like shadow biting her arm with it teeth.
Yuna grabbed it head, burned the wolf with her flame. She feels blood coming out from her wound as her intuition telling her there are more of them.
She uses her flame, lighted the place and revealed about 10 shadow-wolfs surround her.
"Damn it." Yuna cursed.
One of them attacked, making Yuna jump out the ways as she went into her stance.
15 minutes later … (A/N: You can imaginary the rest of the fight since this is my first time writing a fighting scene)
After defeat the shadow wolfs, leaving her some bite mark as the whole place started change into a forest.
'What's going on?' She thought, feeling annoyed at Nightmare hiding from her as she heard a voice.
"Mama!"
Yuna turned her head, eyes went widen. She saw a little brown-haired girl around 4 - 5 years old, wearing a blue sundress and a pair of sandals. In her hands was a small bouquet of red and yellow roses.
Then, Yuna know one thing right now: That little girl is her.
Yuna follow her younger self, ran out the forest. There a small house nears the cliff with a garden, planted fruits and vegetables. The older brunette stop running and saw a woman in the garden.
"Mama ~!"
The younger Yuna run toward to woman as she smiled. That woman was her mother, Akira Yuri.
She has beautiful long black hair with no bangs, pair of brown eyes. She wore a long, short-sleeved, light purple dress that reached down to her feet, and pair of sandals.
"Yuna, welcome back." She said gently to her daughter.
Little Yuna smile to her mother as she held up the bouquet of roses to her mother.
Yuri surprised as she took the roses. "They're so beautiful ~ Thank you." She knee down at Little Yuna height and kissed her forehead, smiled.
Little Yuna giggled then grinned to her mother. "The nice lady at the flower shop told me that red rose mean love which the yellow one means friendship." She explained.
"Really, then which one you like most?" Yuri asked.
"The yellow one ~!" Little Yuna cheered making the older one smile of her happy memories.
The woman giggles at her cheerfulness as the wind fly through her hair.
"Well, isn't it sweet?"
Yuna jumped a bit then turned, sawing Nightmare standing there with a smirk on his face.
"Just how long had you standing there?" Yuna asked, dead panned.
"From the beginning ~."
"Shut up and fight me already!" Yuna yelled as she charged and swing her right leg at him.
Yuna shocked at the moment she kick him, her leg went through him. "An illusion?"
"That right."
Before Yuna could react, Nightmare grabbed by the neck and slowly life her up, choking her.
She tried to struggle her way out but the man grid was too strong. Yuna feeling pain from her wounds at the earlier fight with those shadow-wolfs.
"Now let the real fun begins." He said as the scene changed, they are in the room and in was rain heavily outside through the window.
Yuna saw her younger self was seating on the sofa, reading a story book. The door swing open, revealed her mother having sweats covered her face.
"Mama, what wrong?" The woman quickly grabbed her daughter hand and pulled her in the closet.
"Mama?" Little Yuna looked at her mother with worry. Yuri looks at Yuna and smile to her.
"It okay, Yuna. Everything will be alright. No matter what happen, stay in here and be quiet, alright?"
Tears slowly came out from both Yuna eyes. "S-stop." Older one stuttered as Nightmare smirk went widen.
"Mama, is something bad going to happen?" Little Yuna asked in fear that she feel bad thing will happen to her mother.
Yuri hugged her daughter tightly then kissed her forehead. "Mama will always love you, Yuna." The raven-haired woman looked at Yuna one last time before closed the closet door.
Little Yuna seat on the ground and putting her knee onto her chest, waiting for her mother to come back.
After few minutes passed, gunshots were heard.
Nightmare started laugh wildly as many tears falling out from the older brunette with the pain in her heart.
The younger one flinched after she heard the gunshots but she didn't move after 10 minutes, she open the closet's door and slowly walks out, toward the living room.
When the moment she arrived, she saw the horrified sight.
Yuri, her mother lying on the ground, having bloods coming out from the stomach.
"M-Mama!" Little Yuna ran over to her mother side, knee down to her and held her hands.
Nightmare (who still holding Yuna by the neck) chuckled evilly, didn't noticed Yuna's eyes shadowed, still sobbing.
"I-I …"
Nightmare attention went to Yuna. She grabbed his wrist with her right hand, burst with white flame as the flame on her left eyes burn larger.
"I'LL KILL YOU!"
He screamed in pain as the flame burned his wrist, letting go her neck, making falling on the ground.
Yuna slowly stand up, charged at him and punch in the face with her flame as his butt landed on the ground.
Nightmare looked into her eyes, it's filled with pure rage. He feels so scare for the first time, especially from a girl who more than 5 years younger than him.
The brunette slowly walks toward the silver-haired man as he crawls backwards.
"D-Don't c-c-come near m-me!" He stuttered in fear.
She ignored him, continue approach him. The man was shaking in fear.
'I-Is this fear …?'
"Die."
THUNK!
Nightmare looked down to his crest as he took his last breathe.
Yuna's right hand went through his heart, blood spitting out covered her hand and some of the blood on her face.
After taking her hand out, she snapped and realized what she just done.
'I let my anger control over me again …!' She yelled in her thought.
Yuna looked down at Nightmare –who lying on the ground dead-, biting her lower lip. "I'm sorry …" She said sadly as she walks away.
-X-
Yuna running through the battle field, dodging and knock anyone out who try to attack her.
She turned to the corner, trying to catch her breath as she panted heavily.
Then she saw a red smoke flew up through the sky, knowing it from one of her crewmembers, Usopp because her intuition. The brunette went to where the red smoke comes from.
She arrived near the clock tower and saw Vivi and Usopp and also some Baroque Works members.
Yuna jumped and kick one of their heads, sending the person flying into the building.
"It's White Flame Yuna!" One of them shouted.
"Yuna!" Vivi exclaimed.
"We're saved ~!" Usopp cried.
"Yo, Usopp, Vivi." Yuna greeted.
"Don't 'Yo' to us! Hurry up and beat them already!" Usopp yelled.
"… Fine." Yuna pouted as she grabbed one of them by the legs and throw him like dodge ball, knock out the rest of the Baroque Works members.
"So what with signal for?" Yuna asked as Usopp explained Crocodile plan to bombing everyone.
"Yuna, we need to get to the clock tower now!" Usopp said as he run off with Vivi. Yuna followed them but there more of the Baroque Works members chase after them.
"There more of them!?" Yuna yelled.
"Run! Keep running, Vivi!" Usopp yelled.
"Usopp-san, I can't …!" Vivi panted.
Then a sword slash was heard, they turned and saw the marines defeated them.
"T-Th-Thank …" Usopp stuttered.
"We'll cover you! Please stop the bombing! Now hurry!"
"Thank you. Hurry, Usopp-san, Yuna!" Vivi said as they run toward to clock tower.
"Hurry … HURRY!"
"We've lost so much times!" Vivi said.
"I don't understand what's going on, but … the Marines just saved us! We really have to hand it to them!" Usopp exclaimed.
Yuna looked at Vivi, her eyes filled with many emotions as she looked at corpses of her people.
"Baka, stay focused!" Yuna snapped at Vivi as the princess turned to the brunette.
"There'll be more victims than that if we don't stop the bomb!"
"Yuna's right!" Usopp agreed. "Praying won't stop this explosion! In two minutes …. We'll either be corpses or heroes!"
"EVERYONE BE TOGETHER!" Yuna shouted.
"RIGHT!"
"Vivi, Yuna, Usopp!" They turned and saw Nami and Chopper.
"Nami-san, Tony-kun!" Vivi exclaimed.
"What's going on? The Marines helped us find you!" Nami said.
"Did you find the bombers?" Chopper asked.
"We haven't confirmed it yet, but I know I'm right!" Vivi said. "We've been looking at it the whole time! But it was obscured us! The bombers must be in there!" She pointed at the clock tower.
"The clock tower …" Nami whispered.
"I get it! It would be easy to aim at the Square from up there!" Chopper exclaimed.
"If only Pell were here, he could stop the bombing. Pell …" Vivi stated.
"Yuna, can't you just fly up there?" Usopp asked.
"Sorry, I can't. I'm almost out of flame at the moment." Yuna answered.
"I think the stair is our only choice! The entrance …"
"Oi!" Usopp was interrupted as they looked up, seeing the Cook through one of the window in the clock tower.
"Nami-swan ~! Vivi-chwan ~! Yuna-chwan ~!" He called out to them.
"WHY ARE YOU UP THERE!?" Usopp exclaimed.
"Why!? Because you left a freakin' message for me!" Sanji said. "It said "Clock Tower", so I started making my way up."
Nami and Vivi just blinked as Yuna sweat dropped.
"What do you want me to do?" Sanji asked. "Where's the bombers?"
"They're at the top! The top!" Usopp pointed up at the clock tower. "Get up to the top and kick their asses!"
Sanji looked up through the window but they were surprised seeing a certain swordsman up there.
"Yo! I've been looking for you guys!" Zoro said from atop the clock tower.
"ZORO! YOU'RE HERE TOO!?" Sanji yelled.
"What are you guys doing all the way over there?"
"That's what I want to know!"
"I dunno! The Marines kept saying "Go north! Go north!" … So I went up this building!"
"NORTH AND UP ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!"
"WILL YOU TWO SHUT THE HELL UP AND GO UP ALREADY!?" Yuna roared. Both Zoro and Sanji shut their traps, knowing it the best not to taste Yuna's wrath.
"Anyways, good for both of you. Just keep climbing and beat up whoever's going to fire the cannon!" Usopp said.
"They can't."
"WHAT!?" Usopp exclaimed as Vivi explained that only way to enter the tower is the staircase from the first floor. Usopp suggested Zoro break the walls but Vivi said the bomb cannot withstand the shock of the beings broken.
"Wait, Vivi -" Nami was interrupted when laughter were heard as everyone froze and looked up at the clock tower whose clock had opened up to two laughing Baroque Works Numbers agents.
"Hey, listen, Mr. 7." The woman on atop said. "You know what? This is our final order! Gero, gero, gero ~!"
"That's about the size of it!" Mr. 7 laughed. "I'd size it as being about 30 seconds from now!"
"Who are they?" Nami asked.
"Mr. 7! Miss Fathersday!" Vivi exclaimed.
Yuna's eyes narrowed as she pulled out a small container from her pocket.
"Vivi, get on my back now!" Everyone attention turned to the brunette.
"What are you going to do, Yuna?" Chopper asked.
"Flying up there, of course!" Yuna said.
"But you say you're almost out of flame." Usopp stated.
"Don't worry, I had back up." She held two balls of pills up which from the small container.
"They're about to fire the cannon!" Usopp screamed.
"Hurry Vivi! Get on my back! We don't have much time!" Vivi quickly climb on Yuna's back as she swallow the two pills, making her flame ignited on her right eyes and both of her hands. "Hold on tight, Vivi!"
12 seconds
"Zoro, Sanji, I need your supports!" Yuna yelled jumped and flew up to Sanji with her flames.
11 seconds
Sanji jumped out the window as Yuna jumped on his right leg and he kicked them up higher to Zoro. "HERE THEY COME, ZORO!"
10 seconds
"I just need to get them up to the top, right?" Zoro said, pulled out his swords.
"ZORO!"
"Yosh, leave it to me!" Zoro said as jumped out the building and use his swords form 'X' as Yuna put her foots on the blunt side of his swords.
9 seconds
"Be careful, Vivi. There's some real weirdos up here!" Zoro commented.
"Yes, I know them!" Vivi looked up but sawing the Baroque duo looked down at them with smirks. "No …"
"They saw them!" Nami yelled dramatically, holding her head.
"WHAT!?" Usopp exclaimed.
"Hold on! We're in mid-air! If they shoot us …!" Zoro said.
8 seconds
The duo pointed their guns at them.
"Bastards! Pointing your guns at Vivi-cha-" Sanji speech was cut short since he can't do anything and was near crashing into the ground.
"We have to do something! They're a sniper pair!" Vivi exclaimed.
7 seconds
"Zoro, hurry and push us!" Yuna yelled, making Zoro launch them up higher.
"Seven seconds left!" Nami yelled as Usopp anime crying dramatically beside her.
"Hurry and do something!" Chopper yelled.
6 seconds
The two weirdo shot at them in the moment Zoro throw them. The bullets, however, went after Zoro.
"Hey, listen to this!" Miss Fathersday began. "Our guns …"
" … Are sized to explode when they collide." Mr. 7 finished.
Zoro took a direct hit when the bullets bump together, cause an explosion, and make Zoro cough blood out.
"Zoro!" Both Nami and Yuna yelled.
"That idiot!" Sanji exclaimed. "He took it direct …!"
"Vivi! I'm going to throw you up now!" Yuna said.
"What!?" Before Vivi could say anything more, Yuna already grabbed her hands as she spin and throw Vivi up higher.
5 seconds
"Gero, gero! Running away …" Miss Fathersday stated.
"… Is futile!" Mr. 7 finished as the duo firing their guns at Yuna and Vivi but Yuna has already threw Vivi up higher.
Yuna quickly dodged it, surprised the duo as the bullets crashed into each other. She practically spazzed when she heard the two bullets and explode behind her.

"Miss Wednesday is …" Miss Fathersday asked in alarm.
"… Sized where!?" Mr. 7 exclaimed as they heard a voice above them.
"KUJUKKI STRING …!" Vivi muttered, readying her weapons.
"She's above us?" Mr. 7 said to his partner.
3 seconds
"GOOO!" Nami and Usopp cheered at thetop of their lungs.
"GO, VIVI!" Yuna cheered along while falling because she's out of energy, making her flame extinguish.
"… SLASBER!" Vivi shot her weapons, but the duo ducked in timeto dodge.
The duo smirked and pointed their guns at her.
"Too bad …" Miss Fathersday laughed.
"You missed!" Mr. 7 joined in, Vivi expression remained cold.
2 seconds
"RUNBACK!" She exclaimed, striking them with her weapons and making the duo fell out the tower, toward the ground.
"YES!" Usopp cheered.
Vivi didn't focus on them as she quickly rushed to the cannon.

1 second has passed as the crewmembers continued looking up at the tower.
"Did she stop it?" Usopp asked.
Zoro landed on the ground roughly next to Sanji as he coughed.
"What? You're still alive?" Sanji asked.
"Guys? A little help here!" Yuna yelled as she continues falling.
"I'll catch you, my beloved angel ~!" Sanji's eyes turned to hearts as he trying to catch the brunette but Chopper –In his heavy point- has beat him first as Yuna landed in Chopper's arms.
"Thank Chopper." Yuna smile to him.
"No problem." Chopper replied, putting Yuna down to her foots. Sanji tripped and sobbed on the ground as he muttered 'My beloved angel …'.
"HELP! EVERYONE!" Vivi yelled down from the clock tower. "The bomb has a timer! IT'S STILL GOING TO EXPLODE!"
"WHAAAT!?" Usopp screamed as they looked up with pure shock.
"Shit! This can't be happened!" Sanji cussed. "Even though we stopped the firing, the bomb …"
"… Has a timer!" Chopper exclaimed.
"The blast's gonna be five kilometers wide …" Yuna said.
"The Square and the city are going to be completely destroyed!" Zoro added.
"WHAT'S GOING ON!?" Usopp yelled. "You mean stopping the Square bombing was impossible from the very beginning!?"
Vivi slammed her fists on the cannon. "You made us search for the cannon …! You even told us when they were going to fire it …! Just … HOW MUCH DO YOU HAVE TO HUMILIATE ME BEFORE YOU'RE SATISFILED!?" Crocodile laughter rang into her ears. "How much do you have to sneer at me until you're happy!? CROCODILE!"
"Was that …" Usopp said, everyone looking up and seeing a familiarly large bird –expect for Yuna- landed in the clock tower.
"That bird guy …" Zoro murmured, recognizing Pell.
"This place brings back memories, doesn't it?" Said a slightly nostalgic Pell. "The Suna Suna Clan's secret base. Honestly … You caused me no small amount of headaches with your unpredictable actions."
"Pell, listen!" Vivi exclaimed. "The bomb has a timer, and it's going to explode any second!" Pell stood there, memories washing over him.
"I devoting my life to the service of the Nefertari Family … fills my heart with such everlasting pride." He smiled with pride as he turned into his bird form and used his talons to grab the bomb and drag it out with the all the strength he had left. He flew out of the clock tower with it in his grasp. He flew as far up as he could.
All the crewmembers gasped as an ear-blasting explosion was heard. The large wave emitted from it, knocking everyone off their feet from the sudden impact.
"That crazy bastard …" Sanji muttered, practically speechless. Zoro just remain silent, staring at the sky where the Zoan once was.
"He protected … the country." Nami said silently. Chopper, Usopp and Yuna looked behind them. Their eyes went widened in shock.
They saw everyone stand up and continue to fight in frenzy. They had lost all of their control. The crewmembers looked to where the three gazed, and they had similar reactions.
"PLEASE, STOP FIGHTING!" Vivi pleaded from the top of the clock tower. "PLEASE, STOP FIGHTING! PLEASE STOP IT!" She continues to yelling her pleas, refused to stop.
"Vivi …" Zoro muttered.
"You idiot …" Nami said, tears starting to swell in her eyes.
"She tried so hard …" Yuna said quietly. The brunette says nothing at the moment as she run off to the battle field.
Her crewmembers called out but she ignored and attempt to stop the rebellion and also hoping to save more lives. The crew gets what their vice-captain trying to do as they started to fight.
She tried punch them, kick them and anything she can to stop them but it wasn't enough. She looked back to the clock tower, sawing Vivi continued her pleas.
Yuna finally snapped. "STOP FIGHTING ALREADY!" She yelled with her full strength. Unknown to the brunette, a large wave of force released from her, knocking out the people around her about a kilometers wide.
"Oi, look!" Sanji yelled to his crewmembers, pointed a silhouette in the sky. "Up there!" All of them stopped brawling and looked up as the silhouette became clear.
"CROCODILE!" They all exclaimed together expect Zoro.
"Then Onii-san …" Yuna murmured.
"Not sure how he got blasted up all the way over there …" Sanji said.
"HOW ELSE!?" Usopp shouted. "I never had a doubt in my mind but now …" He said each word filled with excitement and hope.
"HE WON!" All of them cheered in joy expect Zoro –with a smirk on his face- and Yuna –with a small smile-.
"He did it …" Yuna almost cried in joy as she felt a drip of water, dropped on her face.
The rain has finally fallen after all those three years.
"PLEASE DON'T FIGHT ANYMORE!" Vivi yelled, making everyone paused and looking up at her. Her voice has finally reached to them. "This rain, just as it is falling just as it always has will fall again. The nightmare … has finally ended!"
Sometimes later …
"Who are you?" The man asked cautiously with Luffy –who unconscious- on his back.
"Ah, that guy on your back …" Sanji said, rubbing back of his head "Thank for carrying him out of there. He's with us. We'll take him from here."
"So you are the pirates who bought Vivi back to this country." The man stated.
"Who are you, Ossan?" Sanji asked in confusion.
"Papa!" They heard a familiar voice called out. They turned, saw Vivi run toward to them. "Everyone!"
"It Vivi!" Chopper said.
"Papa?" Sanji questioned as he realized the man was Vivi's father, Cobra. "VIVI-CHAN'S FATHER!?" He exclaimed.
"You're the King?" Zoro asked calmly. Cobra set the Luffy down, Yuna looked at her brother, he's slept soundless with a calm expression. Yuna smiled in relief.
"I was prepared for death, but he saved me." Cobra explained. "After he fought with Crocodile, he carried both of us back up to the surface. It is difficult to conceive of one possessing so much power."
"And we don't have to worry about that poison?" Usopp asked, crossed his arms.
"No, he's already taken the antidote." Cobra responded. "But he must be treated for his wounds. As well as all of you."
The crew managed to convince the King and his daughter to head back the Square. Once both of them are out of sight, all of them collapsed and fell asleep as Yuna rested next to her brother.
