Luffyko watched as Sanji battled against Gin. "Sanji…" She watched her new friend watching over to make sure he wouldn't be killed. When Sanji got pinned under one of Gin's weapons she began to move forward as Sanji moved before the heavy bar could be dropped on him and returned a heavy kick to Gin's head only to have Gin return an attack into his ribs. Luffyko watched as both men coughed up blood and try to crawl up to prepare for the next round of attacks. When Sanji and Gin both stood up Luffyko noticed Krieg looking over at her and the fight, "Why is he looking over here?" She thought then grinned and hit her fist to her palm, "Okay! I'm gonna use this opportunity to kick his ass!" She ran forward running along a mast that stretched out towards him.

Krieg smirked as the slim girl ran towards him, "Don't be so zealous!" He flicked a small ball into the water and watched as it blew up in front of the girl. He then fired at her and smirked when he knew it hit her.

Luffyko grimaced as she felt the bullet go into her chest and push her backwards to the ground. She heard Krieg laugh and she slammed her hat down, "You bastard! Are you going to fight with me or not?"

"Fight with you? Is it necessary? I use methods to kill people. It is a human's power. Remember that, little monkey girl!"

"You better be careful messin' with the monkey!" Luffyko yelled as she stretched her mouth wide. Then she heard a sickening hit and turned to see Sanji curled up on the ground, "Sanji…" She watched as Gin went to finish Sanji off only to back off and Sanji returned with a heavy kick to Gin. However, his own attack was too much for his battered body to take and he fell back to his knees. Gin stood back up and walked over and got ready to finish off Sanji.

Gin looked down at the young man that had saved his life and felt tears fall down his face, "Damn it…I…Don Krieg! I really….I CAN'T KILL THIS MAN! DON KRIEG!"

"Gin," Luffyko said as she watched his declaration.

"I really can't. I really can't kill him." Gin repeated as tears fell down his face. He ignored Krieg's outburst and continued, "Because I…I am…for the first time…this was the first time anyone has ever been kind to me…that's why, I can't kill this man. I know, I don't plan on ever betraying you; I don't think anything we've done so far is wrong. I respect your strength, and am grateful to you. And I'm very happy that you praise my strength and let me be the commander. That's why I do whatever you say. And I'll still do it in the future. But…I simply cannot kill this man! Don Krieg I beg of you…COuldn't we just leave this restaurant alone?!"

Krieg stood up and yelled, "You bastard! Not only do you disobey my orders, but then you tell me what to do! Do you wish to die so much? I'm very disappointed in you. Didn't I always say that I detest those feelings of principle?!" He removed his shoulder shield and placed it on his hand and pointed it towards the Baratie. "The rest of you go to one side."

Gin gasped as he saw the shield's skull and crossbones open into a canon, "Don! That…MH5 the poisonous gas!?"

Luffyko looked at the man in horror, "Poisonous gas?!" She listened, as his men were terrified and trying to prevent their own destruction, "You bastard using that kind of attack in battle!"

"This is a battle. The purpose is to win. Treacherous? Desipicable? Don't you agree that this is acceptable? Winning is the goal. The method doesn't matter, only the goal is important. I don't care what consequence the poisonous gas will bring, as long as I win. That is strength." He watched as Gin slowly grabbed his mask and glared, "Throw away your mask! You aren't one of mine anymore. You must die."

Luffyko charged at him again, "I won't let you shoot that poisonous gas!"

"Stop interfering, girl." With that said he broke the mast she was running on with one punch causing her to roll to a stop only to see him pointing a gun at her.

Luffyko ran when she saw the pointed bullets aiming at her and rolled to safety on the broken fin, "Damn it. I've never heard such cowardly words. I'm gonna destroy him." She said as she slowly got up glaring at him the whole time.

Gin clenched his jaw and yelled at the small girl in front of him, "Do not mock Don Krieg! He's the strongest man alive! And it's impossible for you to win."

"Sanji glared at him, "You idiot! Open your eyes! That guy's trying to kill you!"

"Of course, for me to talk about my feelings is to betray the role I have." Gin explained in a calm manner. "That's why this is an obvious consequence!" He yelled as he threw away his mask to face his punishment.

Krieg smirked, "You realize at the end, eh? But it's too late. Die together with that cook. Poisonous Gas MH5."

Luffyko quickly grabbed two masks as the weapon was fired, "Sanji, Gin, use it! Now for mine…" She looked around and began to panic; everyone had vanished. "What?! Everybody has submerged!" The second before the attack landed a mask appeared at her feet and she quickly put it on. When the gas cleared she heard Sanji struggling with Gin, "Gin, your mask…did you give it to me?" Gin fell back and she tossed the mask aside and ran towards him when she heard Krieg laugh.

"You idiot. This happened because you made such a big deal out of food. I guess an idiot won't learn till he dies."

Sanji held Gin as he gasped up blood, "Gin….You chose the wrong man to follow." He said as he glared at Krieg who just laughed.

"Are you sympathizing with my little scumbag?"

"Scumbag?" Sanji asked outraged on Gin's behalf.

"That's right. An idiot who refuses my order without thought of the consequences, is no good for anything. Isn't killing him before he makes the same mistake again, a sign of my love?" He listened and watched as everyone reacted to Gin's state and when he saw Sanji attempting to save him he smirked, "It's useless. At the most he's got an hour."

"Don't die, Gin." Luffyko said as she gave a cold stare at Krieg, "Don't die for that guy. You have to survive, okay? I'll destroy that guy."

"No stop, you can't win against him…you are a girl."

Sanji grabbed her wrist, "Please don't do this I will fight. If you go straight at him, you'll fall into his trap! You'll die!"

"I won't die." She said with an unnaturally serious face. Sanji let go in surprise, she was almost like another person. Then she ripped away from him and ran at him leaving Sanji reaching out to stop her. However, she was already on the move, "If you wanna shoot me, then take your best shot!"

Krieg smirked at the slim girl, "Fool. Still trying even though you know you're going to lose. If you give up I'll try and be gentle." When she continued to run at him his smirk went to a frown, "You might die if you continue this, the sea is your hell, little girl." He threw out small bombs into the sea, "In front of you lies, your grave!"

"My grave?" She asked as she continued water splashed up and then he began to fire the pointed bullets at her.

Sanji watched as two bullets struck her in the leg and shoulder, "She's hit!"

Krieg stopped firing sure she was dead when he saw her still coming at him, "Fool! Come on then!" He brought his spiny cape out around him, leaving anywhere she would punch of spikes. "Come on!"

Sanji glared at him, "That's low." However Luffyko still brought her pistol like punch into him punching his face through the spiked cape. Sanji watched in horror as blood fell from her wounds and hand, which was covered in blood. "Luffyko…"

Luffyko ignored the cooks and pirates as she pulled out the spikes in her body, "So this is my grave? Your grave? My grave? Like hell. Don't decide my grave…" She looked up and gave him a smirk, "I'm not meant to die here."

Sanji saw Zeff beside him and tried to move to a comfortable position, "She's too reckless, she could die."

"Sometimes you see idiot like her. People that fight till the death once they've chosen their target."

Sanji looked at the small girl, "That fight till the death?" He envisioned the slim girl fighting and getting beaten at the hands of the powerful pirate and cringed. Then he heard Zeff's next words.

"To have that sort of person as your enemy is bad. This fight will end. Whether she wins or loses. I like those kind of people."

"You say you're not meant to die here?" Krieg asked the slim girl who had just punched him, "If this isn't your grave, then whose can it be?" He got up and put his shield into her stomach and fired.

Luffyko quickly lept up and dragged him to the ground with an outstretched leg. "No, it's yours!"

Krieg felt anger flow through him as everyone began to talk about the slim girl being able to fight on an even field as him. "Don't be ridiculous!" He brought his two shields together and a spear end came out as well as a long pole. He brought it down at the girl who jumped away only to have an explosion occur from the end of the spear.

Luffyko clung to a piece of mast and looked at the weapon, "What's that? It explodes…."

Krieg smirked at the slim girl, "Now then, how long are you going to run for? Let's see, little girl. The spear is totally different from those tiny ones earlier. After 2 or 3 hits with this, you won't survive. If it hits you, you're finished. " He brought the weapon back down by the mast she was on and swung down sending her and the mast flying.

Luffyko caught herself on a piece of the floating rail as she flew by bringing her back to safety, "What is that thing?" Suddenly her legs gave out from under her, "Huh? What the? My legs…."

Sanji looked at the girl helplessly, "The fight's lasted too long, she's lost too much blood. She's not gonna make it." He wanted to help her, but he couldn't move either. 'Why can't I help her?! She's a woman and I'm letting her fight…Why am I so weak? She will get scarred, her lovely soft silky skin will be ruined!'

"Nothing you do will work." Krieg smirked as he saw the girl fall, "It's about time for your strength to reach its limit. Might as well give up and start trying to make me forgive you. Otherwise I can kill you or beat some of your training into you."

Luffyko looked around at the floating pieces of ship and fin, "Shit. Since the floor is in so many pieces I can't fight the way I want." Krieg jumped over and began to swing at her and she forced her body to obey and jumped over all of his attacks. However when one got close she jumped back slipping down the slipped incline of the rubble.

Krieg lunged making her jump into the air then smirked, "Die!"

Luffyko grabbed the spear as he swung it and held on, "That was close."

"You weak insect!" Krieg yelled as he raised the spear and slammed it down sending Luffyko flying into the air. As she fell he lunged at her.

Sanji watched in horror as an explosion occurred, "Luffyko!" She had gotten hit, there was no way she had dodged the attack. He watched as her charred body fell to the ground and turned away.

Luffyko forced herself back up, and Krieg smirked at her, "Not yet. You've pissed me off. I won't let you die so easily."

Sanji looked at the girl and all of the weapons Krieg had used on her, blood stained all of them, "Shit. That Krieg…He just brings weapons out one after the other."

"Even if he was equipped with a thousand weapons. He may not be able to defeat the one 'spear' that girl has."

Sanji turned to watch as another explosion occurred and Luffyko fell to the ground charred again. Why wasn't he strong enough to fight? A slim girl like her should be relazing in a chair with a nice frozen drink. Not fighting a monster like Don Krieg. "Nothing Special." He heard Krieg say as he watched the slim girl stand yet again. "You should realize who is the strongest here." Krieg said as he looked down at the slim girl.

"Life or death. In a pirate's fight, the one who hesitates even for a split second thinking about death can get crushed." Zeff said as he watched the slim girl stand yet again.

"What are you talking about?" Sanji asked amazed at the old man's calm resolve at watching the girl fight.

"At least…." He paused as another explosion went off that Luffyko was caught in and then continued when she slowly stood back up, "At least that kid has no hesitation."

Sanji clenched his jaw as she attacked the man again only to have another explosion hit her, sending her back to the ground. Sanji could barely contain himself as he looked over her slim body, "Is it that she has what it takes to survive? Or does her conviction mean she simply refuses to die?"

"Her conviction?" Sanji asked as she stood up yet again to Krieg. What was she made of?"

Krieg glared at the girl, "You damned…" When he saw her smirk again he swung his spear yet again, "Like I said! This is your grave!" He swung as she smirked and another explosion wrapped around them. "I'm the strongest man alive!"

Zeff stared at the battlefield and contained a smirk, "If Kireg's massive fleet is strength and his thousands of spears and poison are strength. Then that kids 'spear' is equal to it." Sanji watched in amazement as the smoke cleared to reveal Luffyko standing, her foot raised up and she held a smirk. Sanji realized she had blocked the last attack with a single delicate foot. "That same spear, I know someone like that. Someone who would get attached to that 'spear' for his own stupid reasons."

Krieg glared at the girl as she brought her foot down. At the same time the blade of his spear broke, "The Great Battle Spear! What did you do?"

Luffyko gave him a large grin, "I just punched it five times in a row. Your 'method' won't work anymore!" Her eyes narrowed, "Prepare yourself."
