Hi guys

After such a long break, due to my driving license practice, I thought I should continue the translation and upload it more regularly especially since I have some chapters which are waiting to be uploaded. I'm very sorry for the delay. I hope there are still people who are still reading it.

Chapter 16 Nami and Robin in danger part 2

The rescue team followed the foot prints in the sand while Kid explained her plan to them. When the sun began to set the group saw a mountain range in the distance. "Kid, is this the mountain where Nami-Swan and Robin-Chan are hold hostage?" Sanji asked, because there were several traces leading towards, as well as away from the mountain range, while Kid continued her way towards the mountains. "Well it should be if the spider hasn't decided to separate itself from the rest of its group, ." Kid explained when all the sudden…

"NAMI!? ROBIN!? ARE YOU…" Luffy shouted out loud, but before he could continue Kid whacked him on the head.

"What do you think you're doing?!" Kid asked irascibly.

"I wanted them to give us a sing if they're at the mountains…" Luffy said poutedly, rubbing his head.

"I've already told you we have to be QUIETLY!" Kid started to yell while she jolted Luffy back and forth.

"Calm down, broad!" it slipped through Zoros lips, because that scene reminded him of Nami how she reacted when Luffy did something stupid, and drew Kids attention to him.

"How did you call me?" Kid asked in her calm threatening voice glaring at Zoro.

"N…Nothing at all…" Zoro stammered defensively with his hands raised in a conciliating way while Kid approached him.

"Kitty-Kid, please calm down we have to hurry and save Nami-Swan and Robin-Chan, I will kick his ass later for you!" Sanji tried to calm Kid down.

At first Kid looked annoyed in Sanjis direction but then realized that this was the wrong time to put up a fight. "That's why I hate men! They all think they are better then women…" Kid snarled annoyed before she focused again on the way, "by the way the percentage that a spider would leave its pack stands by 20%, but to separate themselves from the pack by that radius would be suicidal." Kid explained in a calm way.

Ace looked at his brother, who seemed to be confused, and shrugged with his shoulders before he and the rest followed Kid.

When the group reached the mountains the moon let Luffy, Zoro, Sanji Ace and Kid see the contours of several cave entries. Luffy already breathed in deeply to shout out for Nami and Robin a second time. But Kid covered his mouth with both her hands and jerked him behind a big rock and asked him in her threatening calm voice, "What did you have in mind?"

"I wanted to see if Robin and Nami can hear me." Luffy answered while Zoro, Sanji and Ace approached them.

"Give me a break…" Kid mumbled frustrated while she massaged her nose bridge and added annoyed, "for the last time, shout up."

"But how should we know where to rush in to free them?" Luffy wanted to know.

Kid snarled dismissively and said: "could somebody of you please enlighten that retarded nut about what I said earlier while I officiate as bait."

"Luffy just watch out that Kid will decoy the right spider on which a ferric-chain attached is." Zoro explained while Ace fired some logs of wood and shared them out.

"Got it, Kid has to be eaten by a ferric-chain spider …" Luffy said and slowly he realized what he just said and shouted, "WAIT…ARE YOU CRAZY!?"

Zoro whacked Luffy on the head and yelled, "STOP MAKING STUPID THINGS UP AND SHOUT UP!"

"I thought we were supposed to remain in silence while we make sure that Kid won't be hurt so she can detect the right spider and we can save Nami-Chan and Robin-Chin…" Sanji mumbled meanwhile to Ace while they were observing Kid who stopped five meter away her pacing in front of the Rock looking, her appearance suddenly very focused.

"Luffy's sometimes really a pain in the ass…" Ace stated but suddenly something caught his attention as well.

"Guys could you be quiet for a sec!" Ace commanded when he quenched the fire of the logs of wood, then he looked upwards to the direction of the top of the rock where the group was hidden.

"What's wrong" Luffy asked whispering.

"Oh… Of course you listen to your big bro…" Zoro mouthed off about Luffys behavior under his breath.

"Shout up Moos-head…" Sanji said in a low voice.

"Psst!" Ace hissed vigorously and listened more carefully into the night while looking upwards.

Suddenly he heard above him a scrape and he fired a fire fist into the air, only to see that high above them was a huge spider web, taut between the rock and the ground, which now was on fire. "That wasn't there before!" Sanji screamed alarmed, when he and the others heard suddenly high-pitched screeches from the web. While the bodies of smaller spiders fell to the ground Sanji whimpered. "Please remind me why we took you on that mission ero-cook!" Zoro teased Sanji after a while.

"Shout your mouth! I'm her to ensure that Nami-Chan, Robin-Chin and Kitty-Kid will return safely!" Sanji yelled.

"THOSE BLOCKHEADS!" Luffy and the rest could hear Kid yell shortly afterwards they were surrounded by huger spiders which had jumped over the rocks or had appeared from the sides. While the net burned down the spiders started there attack on the group of fresh flesh: When the spiders in front of the group attacked the spiders from the sides fired off their thicker silk threads. But even before the silk threads could reach the group, Zoro cut them through with one of his swords. Some of the spiders rear up before they suddenly cringed to snatch after their prey with their razor sharp forceps. But Luffy and the rest dodged their teeth and Luffy attacked the spiders with his "Gum Gum Pisole Shotgun!" attack and hit most of the spiders in front of him.

Ace on the other hand remembered that the first time he used fire it wasn't that good of an idea and he was maybe just lucky that those spiders which he had burned were so young and small that the acid hasn't produced yet, so he choose the saver way of fighting them off without using fire. Ace run towards the spiders, which had managed to escape Luffys attack, jumped into the air after one of them tried to snatch after him, and punched it with folded hands right on top of its head. Ace turned in the air and kicked another Spider at its hairy leg while the other spider fell dead to the ground. The spider screeched in pain and lost almost its balance, but it could hold itself up on its other feet. The spider tried to shot a poisoned sting at Ace but he swerved it by jumping into the air and punched the spider between its eyes and it fell unconscious at its back. While Ace and Luffy killed left and in front of them spiders, Zoro moved forward and sliced the rest of the spiders into pieces using his three sword style: "Monster strike!"

Sanji was the one who watched in fear at that scene, but when he heard something above him Sanji closed his eyes (even though the fire already went out) and jumped into the air turned himself upside down and started his Extra Hachis attack by launching his kicks at multiple directions into the air screaming "Extra Hachiiis!"

On the other side of the rock Kid fought off some other spiders and tried not to let any more spiders pass to the rest of the group. Kid ran towards two spiders while swerving the thick silk threads and poisoned stings from the other spiders. Kid jumped into a salto and kicked with her heel at the spiders' heads, Kid pushed herself away from them and attacked another spider which was behind her with her right elbow between its eyes. While the three spiders fell dead to the ground Kid did a cartwheel to avoid some more poisoned stings as she returned back to the ground and ended up between four pair of legs. Kid did a handstand and by pushing herself from the ground she kicked the spider high into the air and it flew over the rock. It didn't take long until the last spider was scared off. When the last spider fled to its shelter Kid turned to the rock, where the others hid themselves. "Guys what do you not understand under being quiet!?" Kid asked angry.

"Kitty-Kid are you okay!?" Sanji yelled while he ran around the rock followed by Zoro and Ace.

Kid glared at Sanji and walked up towards him but suddenly she stopped and became paler before she fell to the ground. Ace reacted immediately and gripped Sanji and Zoro immediately to jerk them back behind the rocks. Ace reached for one of the logs of wood and let it burn only to throw it in Kids direction. In the light of the fire Zoro, Sanji and Ace could see how a spider had started to spin a cocoon around Kid. Sanji wanted to rescue Kid but he was hold back by Zoro. "What do you think you're doing, we have to help Kitty-Kid." Sanji said sharp.

"Just be quiet…" Ace said still observating the situation.

When the spider swung the cocoon into the air and turned around itself quickly so that the cocoon landed on its back Ace saw the ferric-chain at his back. "That's our spider…" Ace said quietly while the spider ran into the darkness.

"But we can't just let the spider take Kid with it." Sanji objected and Ace and Zoro explained to him what Kid had told the two of them earlier when he wasn't listening because he was so desperate to save Nami and Robin.

Flashback

While Sanji ran eagerly ahead following the spiders footprints Kid turned to Luffy, Zoro and Ace and whispered: "Now that our Casanova's out of earshot, let me tell you the real plan…"

"Listen you can tell them what ever you want, I I'm not so much into complex stuff anyway." Luffy said honestly and followed the foot prints which would lead him and the others to their friends.

"He's such a pain in the neck…" Kid said slamming her palm against her forehead and grunted before she continued to explain her plan, "If our spider shows up just let it take me with it and I'll handle the rest by myself. The spiders always store their cocoons in the same place."

"And why couldn't you tell that to all of us?" Zoro and Ace asked simultaneously in a disgruntled manner, because they already knew how Sanji would react.

"Oh well I didn't want to deal with our over-protecting Casanova. Now he's your problem!" Kid explained poking out her tongue at the two.

"You're the devil …" Ace muttered annoyed.

Kid looked at him and said with a superior smile and a shrug of her shoulders: "I know…" before she, Zoro and Ace followed Luffy and Sanji.

End of Flashback

"How could my lovely Kitty-Kid just lie to me" Sanji whined.

"Maybe she didn't want you to get into danger!" Ace consoled Sanji and immediately Sanjis mood switched from down to top.

"You're the devil." Zoro whispered to Ace.

"I know…" Ace said with a wide grin.

"But you do know that Kid is going to kill you for that." Zoro addressed the inescapable fact.

"I'm going to deal with that later but first she has to suffer.", Ace shrug Zoros input off yet suddenly he looked around and muttered, "Oh crap…" as he realized something.

"What's wrong?!" Sanji asked alarmed he didn't dare to turn his face to look around.

"She's definitely going to kill us…" Zoro said after he searched for the mood change of Ace and came to the same conclusion.

"What!?" Sanji cried out before he became silent again and turned eventually frightened around, with his luck the spiders could have been appeared right behind him, but on his left side wasn't any thing just as on his right side.

"Zoro, Ace…" Sanji snarled bitterly before he turned around only to see Zoro giggling while Ace still was very earnest.

"Quit it already Zoro… we're in trouble." Ace reminded before Sanji could start yell at Zoro.

"Why?!" Sanji questioned.

"Look around and don't tell me you don't get it!" Zoro instructed Sanji.

Sanji looked one more time around and groaned annoyed: "Luffy…"

"Congratulations you're actually not dumber than I thought." Zoro felicitated what reboiled Sanjis anger again...
