"Mina-san, are you all ready?" Brook called out from above a boulder. He had a gun aimed to the sky all ready. The rest of the crew stood at the entrance to the forest. Luffy and Nami stood at the end of that line, ready and in position.
"Tell me again why we're doing this again?" asked Nami.
"Because you're my girlfriend?" replied Luffy.
"I didn't mean that."
Robin smiled as she tightened her grip on her boyfriend.
"Don't let me go in there," she said sweetly.
"Not planning on it."
"Why the hell am I teamed up with you?" Sanji asked bitterly. His grip on his partner tightened causing him to cry out a little.
"Ow, that hurts, Sanji-kun! But, why are you complaining? You've got the fastest legs out of all of us," Usopp teased him. "Besides, I've set traps around the whole jungle."
Sanji cocked an eyebrow.
The pair to their right was most enthusiastic about this out of all of them. The little doctor sat on top of his giant friend and both looked very determined to win this.
"You ready, Chopper?" asked Franky.
"Aa!"
"Yohoho! On your marks, get set, let the piggy back race begin!" Brook fired the pistol into the air. All four runners dashed forward. Usopp was murmuring into Sanji's ear, telling him to avoid stepping into certain areas. Luffy was laughing hysterically for he was having the time of his life. Nami had to tightly hold onto him because she thought he'd let her fall by accident.
"Stop laughing!" yelled Nami. "Don't close your eyes! We could run into a tree!"
"Its fine, its fine!"
"Hold on tight," said Zoro. He dashed in between trees and jumped over large roots out of instinct. Robin had to obey and hold on tightly. Franky's team on the other hand was having a very difficult time passing through the first few meters of the entrance of the jungle.
"What's wrong, Franky?" asked Chopper. Franky pulled a screwdriver out and threw it at a random area around them. An explosion went off, shocking the little reindeer. "What was that!"
Usopp and Sanji were far ahead. Usopp had his head turned around and he laughed and teased the last group.
"I knew my trap would work! One team down, two to go-"
"Oi, Usopp."
"-But Luffy and Zoro are somewhat smart. They could figure out a way to win this with instinct alone-"
"Usopp.."
"Maybe I should just shoot them-"
"Usopp!"
"What?!"
Sanji didn't have the time to reply back when out of no where, a large net wrapped around them and brought them up high and hanging from a tree. Usopp was in a state of shock after realizing he just fell for his own trap. He turned to his partner and laughed awkwardly.
"Opps?"
"'Opps' my ass!"
A loud horrifying scream could be heard throughout the whole island.
Meanwhile, the final two teams were neck and neck as they neared the end of the jungle. When Luffy would speed up, Zoro would try harder and vice versa. Often times, Zoro would try tripping Luffy, but he would only jump over him and try to push him off. Before they knew it, they had already passed the finish line.
"I won!" Luffy chanted.
"No, I won!"
"You both lost," Brook said bluntly. The enthusiasm in Luffy's and Zoro's eyes disappeared.
"Eh?"
"What do you mean?" asked Zoro.
"Well, one, both of your partners are missing."
Luffy and Zoro turned around and just noticed that they were missing their girlfriends.
"Whoops?"
Meanwhile, both Nami and Robin were left behind in the middle of the forest. Nami had the strap of her tank top hanged onto a branch of a tree causing her to dandle a few feet above the ground. Robin was on the ground, rubbing her rear after a harsh fall she just had.
"I'm going to kill them."
