"Smooto." Someone remarked, staring at a centaur fending off the onslaught of three G-5 soldiers. "Fen Bock! Cope!"
Seeing people who had formerly appeared on wanted notices, Smoker (Tashigi) finally affirms. "
"Smoker-san, these are all ex-convicts! They must have been the pirates who were brought here when Vegapunk was on this island."
Fighting two of them, Tashigi (Smoker) ends up pushing them away, while growling.
"What the hell is going on? Reports from four years ago clearly indicated that none of them survived."
Hearing a sudden sneer, Tashigi (Smoker) quickly jumped back and dodged a gunshot.
"What?" he wondered, looking for the one who had tried to kill him.
"What wonderful reflexes." A voice sneered.
Suddenly appearing in front of the vice-admiral, a man, strongly resembling a chameleon, appeared, while holding a revolver in his hand.
" Hello, vice-amiral Smoker. "
"But it's…Cameo, the invisible sniper." Smoker (Tashigi) asserted, recognizing him.
Giggling even more, Cameo made his skin change color, allowing him to blend into the background.
"Yes! It's me! I ate the chameleon fruit! Thanks to it, I can easily become invisible to my opponents! So try to fight me."
Not wanting anything else, Tashigi (Smoker) closed his eyes for a few moments, and ended up hearing the noises Cameo made, walking in the snow.
"You're there." He asserted, jumping up to him.
Immediately using his jitte, Tashigi (Smoker) attempted to hit Cameo with his gun. However, he was surprised to find that the sniper had been able to dodge him, while his weapon struck in the void. Still moving too abruptly, Cameo felt his skin return to its original color, thus stopping to hide it.
Still, still smiling, he let his mouth swell, before opening it to release a long tongue that uncoiled like a whip. Covering itself with haki, its tongue solidifies to resemble a very long spear. Controlling her with ease, Cameo let his tongue swoop down on Tashigi (Smoker). Throwing himself to the side to dodge it, Tashigi (Smoker) could nevertheless feel the tongue brush his abdomen, tearing part of his shirt, in the process.
"No, my shirt." Smoker (Tashigi) frightened, fearing that her real body would end up shirtless.
"You better take care of yourself." A voice asserted behind her.
Barely having time to turn around, Smoker (Tashigi) positioned her saber in front of her, to block a huge ax, which had threatened to gut her. Pushed back, however, she stared at the tall woman in front of her, with the arms and legs of a fishman, and holding a big axe, as tall as she was.
"Pisca, the demonic axe." Smoker (Tashigi) recognized her.
"Oh? So the navy still remembers me? I'm flattered! Nevertheless,..."
Twitching the muscles in her arms, she affirmed.
"With this power that Law gave me, I'm not the same! You want to put us back in prison? Always try."
"Yeah!" rejoiced the other centaurs. "Generals Cameo-san and Pisca nee-san are here! With them, we have nothing more to fear."
"Grrr!" Tashigi (Smoker) growled, enraged at not being able to access his Devil Fruit powers. "I have a feeling these guys are going to be troublesome."
Trying to drink another cup of tea, Doctor Fronk looked annoyed as the lab shook a bit from the explosions produced outside.
"Can't relax." He growled. " Moreover, … "
Pointing to a den-den mushi that only rang, he shouted.
"When are you going to answer this call?"
"Huh?" Caesar said simply. "Never mind! If it rings, it's just that the stupid flaming earth centaurs managed to open the door! Smiley is waking up and killing them."
"And are you really sure you can control it?"
"Hey, who do you take me for?" Caesar huffed, turning to him. "There is nothing impossible for the super genius that I am."
"Forget it! It's just that there are suddenly so many people that you don't even know where to turn your head."
Chuckling at that moment, Caesar turned to gas, before heading to a window, to see his soldiers fighting against the G-5.
"Yes! This time, you're absolutely right! No matter where we can look, there are guinea pigs everywhere! SHIRORORORO! It's just the perfect opportunity to carry out a little experiment! An experiment that will turn the world upside down and thus prove that my genius genius is superior to Vegapunk's."
"And all thanks to your monster full of poison?"
"This monster, as you say, is the result of my last experience! The one that led to the destruction of this island, four years ago: the use of H2S! SHIRORORO, what good memories! The effects of The explosion was devastating! Just remembering it fills me with joy! And finally, when I got back here, I compressed that gas into a real toxic monster: Smiley."
Then raising his arms in the air, he affirmed.
"And soon, thanks to his big comeback, I will be able to show everyone the power of my invention again! SHIRORORORORO!"
"This is Group 21, from Sector 16! We have found the bodies of four fugitives and one cat! I repeat, we have the bodies of four fugitives."
" The master will be pleased. " A man in a jumpsuit asserted, while grabbing hold of Brook's body. "That makes him four enemies less."
"Besides, there's Roronoa Zoro with them." Another person affirmed, recognizing the man. "I can't believe we managed to take down a Supernova."
"Hey, look! There's a beautiful woman with them." A man stated, staring at Erza.
Lifting her a little, he began to blush behind his mask, while seeing her breasts begin to bounce.
"HEHEHE! I wonder what she's hiding under there." He said, while reaching his hand towards her, to remove her clothes.
" Motherfucker ! "
Suddenly struck by a foot, the man was sent against the ground.
"What?" his companions wondered, turning to see Nami (Sanji) in front of them. "But how can she still be conscious?"
"No one touches Erza-sama." The pirate roared, swinging various kicks at his opponents, knocking them out, within seconds.
Seeing them being knocked down, Nami (Sanji) quickly felt tired.
"Damn it! I have to be careful! Nami's body is much more delicate and less enduring than mine! I have to take care of it."
"You let your guard down." Suddenly sneered a voice behind him.
"Huh?" Nami (Sanji) could only say, turning around to see a hulking centaur, armed with a large saber, pretending to attack him.
"You're a dead man."
Yet, finding himself suddenly sliced, he fell backwards, while Erza sheathed her sword. Still exhausted, the young woman had tried everything for everything and had taken possession of her "Hakama armor".
"The enemy is defeated." She asserted, turning to Nami (Sanji).
Instantly, the cook's eyes were replaced by hearts, as he saw Erza's chest wrapped in simple bandages.
"That's my vision of heaven." He affirmed, his nose bleeding.
Not really knowing what was going on, Erza looked up to see the half-destroyed ledge they were standing on before landing here.
" What happened ? "
Regaining her composure, Nami (Sanji) ends up pulling out a cigarette, before breaking into a smoke.
"No idea! Nevertheless, I think the Yetis set a trap for us! They must have realized that we were following them and then deliberately left footprints to ambush us."
" I think so too. "
Then, looking at the three others who were on the ground, she wanted to know.
"How are we going to wake them up?"
"I'll take care of it, Erza-sama."
Immediately, three noises were heard, showing that someone was hitting the skulls of three other people.
"We wake up! Everyone is moving."
"Ouch, my poor head." Brook said, with a bump on his head.
"I feel like I've been drinking and waking up with a huge headache." Carla (Grey) asserted, while once again finding herself on the skeleton's huge afro.
"No time for whining." Nami (Sanji) retorted. "We need to find this samurai as soon as possible."
" If it is, this idiot was also attacked by the Yetis. " Zoro remarked.
"All we can say is that he was racing towards the lake." Erza stated. "We must find his footprints at all costs before he decides to jump into the water! Without arms, swimming will be complicated, and impossible to defend against the sharks of this lake. "
"Hey, samurai." Nami (Sanji) shouted. "Where are you, damn it?"
Suddenly stumbling, he felt his foot hit a mound of snow, and thus fell forward.
"Huh?" Zoro said, stepping over the mound before looking down at Nami (Sanji). "What's the matter, fool? Can't you even stand on your legs?"
"Shut up, Mosshead." Nami (Sanji) roared, standing up. "If I tripped, it's because of that damn pile of snow."
Kicking it he was surprised to see a frozen face come out: Kin'emon.
"Huh? The samurai?"
"But what is he doing here?" Carla (Grey) wanted to know.
"He must have fallen and he couldn't get up." Erza understood.
"That idiot!" Sanji cried, immediately kicking the warrior's frozen body.
Then cracking, the ice that imprisoned him shattered into pieces. Then, feeling the icy air sweep across his face, Kin'emon gasped and caught his breath.
"AHHHHH! I thought I was going to pass away."
"Hey, what are you doing here and frozen?" Nami (Sanji) questioned him.
"I don't know! I was running when my body mysteriously stiffened and refused to take another step before I fell to the ground."
"What an idiot, you almost froze to death." Carla (Grey) roared.
"Nothing, the cold is not my enemy! The cold has no effect on me."
" If it had no effect, you wouldn't need your clothes. " The exceed retorted.
"Don't give him bad ideas." Erza advised him.
"Hey, isn't your power to create clothes?" Nami (Sanji) questioned him. "Why didn't you just make yourself some warm clothes?"
"I…I tried! But my powers suddenly left me! In fact, I feel like my chest is surrounded by water."
"Surrounded by water?"
"He must have fallen into the lake." Brook suggested.
"And just like Luffy, this guy feels a certain drop in power, once surrounded by seawater." Zoro understood. "Maybe that's why our body stiffened."
"Damn it." Erza said thoughtfully. "The lake looks pretty deep to me and it's very large! Finding his torso isn't going to be easy! Especially since the sharks are going to target him."
" There's a good chance that will happen, indeed. " Zoro agreed. "However, if he still feels the presence of his chest, it's not too late! He must be fished out, one way or another, quickly."
"What?" Kin'emon wondered. "Would you be kind enough to…?"
"Yes, we'll help you." Nami (Sanji) assured. "Anyway, I promised you, didn't I? Until you're whole, you'll be my responsibility."
Looking at them flabbergasted at first, Kin'emon ends up hardening his gaze, before retorting.
"Stop taking me for a baka! You're just pirates."
"Huh?" The five comrades wondered, noticing that his hatred had returned.
"Pirates are just barbaric beings who act selfishly, without thinking about the consequences of their horrible actions! Stop this number! Why do you want to help me, in the end? Huh, tell me the truth! Why?"
Suddenly crushed under Nami's (Sanji's) foot, he was stopped as the pirate ordered him.
"Shut up, stupid samurai! You're in no position to argue anything! Since I started helping you, I'll go all the way! That's all."
"And it's the same for us." Carla (Grey) assured. "So stop yelling, and let us do it! Alone, you won't be able to do anything, in your condition."
Dumbfounded, Kin'emon could only lower his gaze, while mumbling.
"Thank you… Thank you very much! I don't know what to say."
"Just shut up." Nami (Sanji) advised him, while forcing him to his feet. "Anyway, save your strength for later! Because, once your body is complete, I'll reduce you to a pulp."
"A lot of effort for this kind of results?" Erza wondered. "To wonder if helping him is really worth it."
"Huh…guys?" Brook called them suddenly, seeing one of the figures coming in the distance. "I believe we have a visitor."
" Huh ? "
"Run!" they heard, in the distance. "The monster is on the other side of the shore."
"Damn it! What is it?"
"We don't care! Shut up and just run."
"But those are the centaurs from earlier." Brook recognized them, as their silhouettes could be seen better.
" AHHHHHHH! It's the pirates from earlier. " One of the centaurs was scared, braking immediately, while he could see Zoro and the others.
"Do you know them?" Wondered Carla (Grey).
"It's nothing! Lucy and the others stole some of their clothes." Erza told him. "These are Brownbeard's men."
"Ah, I see! So they want revenge."
"No worries." Zoro assured him, drawing a sword.
"Come as many as you want." Erza declared, making two swords appear in her hands.
Growling then, the centaurs ended up bypassing them, before fleeing in the direction of the laboratory.
"Let's not waste our time with them! Let's flee to the lab, to warn the master."
" Huh? " Carla (Grey) wondered when she saw them running away. "Finally, they're not very hostile."
"But what's going on here?" Nami (Sanji) wanted to know.
Looking then in front of him, Zoro asked.
"Hey, Scarlet! On the other side of the island, where there were only flames, was there a huge mountain?"
"Huh? Huh… no, why?"
"So what is this?" The swordsman wanted to know, pointing to a huge, rounded figure that could be seen in front of them.
"What…?" Erza wondered.
"That's huge." Brook frightened.
Puffing out his cheeks again, Cameo spat his long tongue at Tashigi (Smoker) again, hoping to touch him. Running in all directions, the vice-admiral quickly dodged his attacks, then pretended to counterattack.
First using his revolvers, Cameo then quickly vanished, thanks to his powers, preventing his opponent from hitting him with precision.
"Grrr, you damn pain."
"I'll return the compliment." Cameo affirmed, reappearing a few meters away.
"Cameo-san, the soldiers have taken possession of the ship." A centaur suddenly told her, pointing at it.
"Huh?" Cameo wondered, seeing the ship depart in the distance.
"Damn it!" Pisca growled, while pushing Smoker's (Tashigi) body away, using a powerful kick. "We really can't have fun for five quiet minutes."
Thus abandoning her adversary, she began to run at full speed towards the shore and ended up jumping into the water. Once in the ocean, she used her powerful limbs to swim towards the boat like a torpedo.
"Come back here." Tashigi (Smoker) ordered him, pretending to follow him.
However, what looked like a huge spit ended up hitting his legs.
"What…?" He wondered, feeling his feet hit the ground.
"Stupid guy!" Cameo sneered. "Didn't you know that a chameleon's saliva is one of the stickiest substances in this world ? No matter how hard you struggle, you can never free yourself."
"Grrr! Motherfucker!"
"Smoker-san!" One of the soldiers on the stolen ship gasped, as he could see his superior in bad shape.
However, his eyes widened in fear, as he could see Pisca's silhouette emerge from the water and manage to jump onto the deck of the ship.
"What...?" The soldiers wondered.
"Surprise! Too bad for you, I've never eaten a devil fruit! On the other hand…"
Seizing her axe, she ends up covering it with haki, while displaying a sadistic smile.
"That's not going to stop me from slaughtering you all."
With that, she rushed at the nearest soldiers, who could only scream in fear as their ammunition ricocheted off her weapon, their sabers soon shattering into pieces.
