It's time to get off this frigging island. Fight ends today! Enough stalling!

Enjoy!

Mr. Five groaned and raised a hand to hold his head. That stupid reindeer sure had thrown him fair. Were they really that strong? It was hard to believe anyone from the East Blue could give him this much trouble.

Finally managing to sit up, he cast a glance over the railing. From what he could see, the rest of that pirates crew had caught up to them. The ones down below were now outnumbered by a fair amount, and it was safe to say the tables were not turned in their favour.

"You awake?" A voice asked. Turning. Mr. Five saw Ms. Golden Week standing there, watching him.

"I am now," he said, sitting back down. "You gonna knock me out again, you traitor?" Ms. Golden Week frowned.

"Don't give me that," she said. "Everyone in Baroque Works only looks out for themselves. Nobody works for Mr. Zero because he's a great guy and the org is like family. It's everyone for themselves."

"Maybe so," Mr. Five said. "But I didn't peg you for being so foolish. After all, do you really think these pirates can defeat Mr. Zero?"

"Maybe, maybe not." She said as she leaned up against the wall. "But the way I see it, I'm dead either way. Did you hear what I said before?"

"Nah, I was out. Sorry."

"We're dead no matter what." Ms. Golden Week replied, turning to look at him. "We both know they're going to beat us here again. And suppose we somehow get to Alabasta, those pirates get there too and we're dead. Or, I gamble on them and live should I come out victorious. Sounds like a much better plan to me." Mr. Five chuckled at this.

"You really have no faith in them, do you?" He asked. "Mr. Three and Ms. Valentine, I mean."

"Nope," Ms. Golden Week replied. "They won't win. And once you lose, there's nothing more to be said. We'd be dead meat." Mr. Five knew she was right. He'd considered himself fairly strong, but this was beyond anything he'd been expecting. The crew was incredibly strong. Maybe not strong enough to beat Mr. Zero, but strong. If he was going to get out of here, it needed to be now.

"You wanna come too?" She asked him, voicing his thoughts. If she could go with them, was it possible for him too as well? Maybe Ms. Valentine too? He knew that Ms. Golden Week was right when she said no one in Baroque Works that worked in someone else's interest. That being said, he did care somewhat for his blonde partner. They'd worked together a long time after all. Even if he didn't know her real name, she still meant more to him than anyone else at that shitty organisation.

"Knowing Mr. Three, he'll probably concoct some idiotic plan to save our asses again." Mr. Five said. "Maybe it'd be good for me to get out while the going's good."

"So...?"

"Nah. I don't want to pal around with a bunch of kids." He said this as he stretched his arms. "I'm still getting out of here, though. Once those two idiots get the shit kicked out of them, I'll drag them back to Mr. Three's ship and we can get out of here. As far away as possible. I'm done trying to appease Mr. Zero."

"Well, I guess that's a good idea too." Ms. Golden Week replied. "You won't have to wait long, I think. The whole crew got here, so they're toast." Mr. Five just laughed at this.

"Yeah, I'll make sure I'm ready to get them out." He paused at this, making a face. "Why are you going with them, anyway? You could just as easily come with me and get out of here. Is there something else you're looking for?" At this, Ms. Golden Week looked away from him, back down to the fighting below.

"Maybe," she said. "It doesn't matter if they don't defeat Mr. Zero, though." Mr. Five nodded, looking back at the fighting as well.

"You're right," he said. "Maybe we shouldn't put too much faith in them just yet."

"There they are!" Wapol shouted as the rest of the Straw Hats filed into the room. "The rest of these despicable pirates! You two! Help me finish them!" Luffy looked downward, noting that both Ms. Valentine and Mr. Three looked pretty nervous now that the rest of the crew had followed them.

"Wapol!" The cow shouted. "How dare you show your face in these halls! You're a disgrace to your fathers legacy!"

"I am my fathers legacy, Dalton!" Wapol shouted back, putting a name to the cow for Luffy. What the hell was that power? It was so cool! "And soon you'll be nothing more than simply that! A memory! Something I'll look back and laugh on as I rule this country from now until I die years and years from now!"

"Easy there, fatty." Zoro said as he brandished his swords at the man. "We've got a few things to pay you back for, so don't think we're going to go down that easily."

"A King should be benevolent and treat his people with the utmost of respect," Vivi said, a dark look on her face. "You are the worst type of man to exist. Leave this place. Never come back." Wapol just laughed, dropping Luffy to the ground. He aimed his hand at the group, his entire arm turning into a multitude of cannons.

"Don't order me around, you shitty woman!" He shouted. "I'm above you and the rest of this trash!"

As Wapol fired, the battle begun.

The group dispersed as the cannons began to fire. Zoro and Vivi moved to the left and ran behind the columns in the room, making their way towards Johnny, Yosaku and Mr. Three. Sanji moved left with Usopp and Dalton, finally coming to a stop behind a few of the other columns on that side.

"Listen up everyone!" Luffy shouted as he stretched his arms all the way out. "I call this guy! Sanji, Cow guy, help me!"

"Sure thing, Captain." Sanji said as smoke drifted out from behind one of the columns. "His name is Dalton though."

"Right!" Luffy agreed, not bothering to correct himself. "Zoro, Vivi, help Johnny and Yosaku with that guy! Usopp, help Nojiko and Chopper with that woman! Everyone ready?!"

With a resounding yes from his crew, the battle truly began it's final chapter.

Zoro smirked as he twirled his blades from in between his two students, watching the frantic looking Mr. Three. Despite the fact that the man was encased inside a wax exoskeleton, he still didn't look confident.

"So we meet again, waxy." He said flatly. "Your staircase sure was helpful in getting up here. Thanks for that. It'll make getting my payback for trapping me in that stupid ornament set on Little Garden a lot easier." Despite the situation he found himself in, Mr. Three managed a weak smile.

"And yet you brought my target right too me!" He said as wax poured out of his suits arms, flowing towards Vivi off to the side. "Candle Lock!"

"Princess!" Yosaku shouted, moving to intercept the wax. There was no need though, as Vivi used her slashers to cut through the lock before it even hit her.

"I appreciate the thought, Mr. Three." Vivi said with a smirk on her face. "But I'd really appreciate it if you kept your fantasies to yourself."

"Listen up, you two." Zoro said to Johnny and Yosaku, making both men look to him. "We're gonna use this as an official exam of your strengths, got it?" Both men paled at this.

"E-Exam?!" Johnny asked.

"I didn't study!" Yosaku cried.

"Yes you did," Zoro replied. You've been studying. So, now I want to see if there's any hope for either of you. I'm going to create an opening against this guy. When I do, I want you both to give him everything you've got. The strongest techniques you've created so far. Got it?"

"B-But Big Bro-" They both started, silenced by the look Zoro gave them. "Y-Yes sir!" They opted for this instead, knowing he'd be even harsher should they refuse.

"Alright then, let's get going!" He shouted, not giving either man a moment to gather themselves. Zoro bolted right for the wax man, jumping as a wax of wax hit the ground in an attempt to stop him.

"Three Sword Style: Bull Needles!" He thrust forward with the two swords in his hands, lodging both deep inside the chest of the Wax a smirk, he pulled the blades out and jumped back, still close enough for another attack. Tendrils of wax shot out of the chest of the Dreadnought, but Zoro sliced through them with ease. After all, he was far stronger than Yosaku and Johnny were. Slicing through another three tendrils, Zoro flipped in the air and gripped his blades tightly.

"Three Sword Style: Dragon Twister!" Unleashing the hardest slashes he could, the air morphed around the blades and cut through the air itself. Doing so in a spiral, Zoro created a tornado of slashes directly in Mr. Three's face. The slashes carved through the wax with barely any trouble, exposing the man inside. The wind blew away any excess wax, leaving him staring at Zoro in shock.

"Now!" He shouted, looking back as he fell to the ground. Both Johnny and Yosaku were running forth, clearly worried yet determined all the same.

"Sword of the Sea: Raging Tsunami!" Gripping his blade tightly and bringing up horizontally, Johnny let out a vicious swing. Just like Zoro's Dragon Twister, the air around the slash morphed into an attack, raging towards Mr. Three.

"Candle Wall!" Mr. Three shouted in an attempt to block the attack, but it was to no avail. Johnny's attack sliced right through the wall with ease, and Mr. Three was hit in the stomach, flying back and hitting the wall and getting the air knocked out of him. Yosaku burst past Zoro and raised his blade.

"Sword of the Earth: Tectonic Shift!" Jumping up, Yosaku tilted his blade so the flat side was facing Mr. Three as he fell. The man turned and his arms spat out wax in an attempt to protect him. It was to no avail, as Yosaku dodged the attack right before it hit him, the spinning that this gave him only increasing his strength. He drove the flat side into the mans skull and Zoro watched as Mr. Three flailed through the air and hit the ground. The impact created a crater from the sheer impact of Yosaku's strength, and he smirked to himself.

"Hm," Zoro said as Yosaku landed. "Johnny's attack was a ranged attack with vicious strength and a wide range. Yosaku's was a brute force push, which can be even better if he waits for an opening from his enemy." He watched as the two men ran up to him and bowed, waiting for further instruction. "You two did well. I'm certainly impressed."

"D-Did we pass?" Yosaku asked weakly without looking up.

"Yeah, for now." He said, watching as the two jumped for joy. "Now, get that idiot out of that crater and keep an eye on him. We've gotta make sure he doesn't get back up."

"Yes sir, Big Bro Zoro!"

Avoiding the explosions and fighting as Luffy, Sanji and Dalton fought Wapol was hard enough. Trying to defeat Ms. Valentine was even harder, especially given how every time they tried to do something Wapol usually got in the way. The King's massive weaponry was constantly making trouble, and it wasn't getting any better.

Not to mention, Usopp was terrified.

He was trying his best to help Nojiko and Chopper, as he learned the...thing was called, but with everything else going on it was had to land a shot. The only thing good was that Ms. Valentine wasn't keen on going to far in, as Usopp's few shots that had landed seemingly made her second guess going in again.

"Usopp!" Nojiko shouted over the chaos. "Do you have a shot yet?!"

"No!" Usopp replied as smoke rolled over the battlefield from Wapol's cannons. "I'm trying though! I do have a theory if you're interested though!"

"Let's hear it!" Usopp frowned as he aimed at Ms. Valentine, and watched as she fled behind a nearby pillar.

"I don't know how her Devil Fruit works," he said. "But I think she's only increasing her mass, not her density! Do you know what I mean?"

"Explain simpler, I'm distracted!"

"Well, a three hundred pound person can still get shot right?" He asked. "Same goes for someone who may be a hundred or five hundred! She's not denser, just heavier! So she's avoiding my shots because she knows she'll still get hit!"

"Wait, you're right!" Nojiko shouted as Usopp's eyes widened. "I shot through her shoulder before! She is able to be shot!"

"You've got a big mouth, you!" Ms. Valentine's voice came. "Only thing that compares is that stupid nose!" Usopp watched through his scope as she drove her heel onto the ground of the palace, kicking up debris. She twirled and slammed her foot into the rocks, sending them flying right at him. Crying out in surprise, he dove for cover as the debris flew past him, crashing into the walls and ground as it did so. He heard her drive her foot in again, and now it seemed she was going for the kill. If any of them got hit with that, they didn't stand much of a chance.

"You okay?" Usopp screamed in panic as Nojiko and Chopper appeared next to him, startling them. "Don't scream, you moron! I have a plan!"

"W-What is it?" Usopp asked. Nojiko smirked and gestured to her chest, where red paint was dripping from her coat.

"That paints woman from Little Garden turned on her friends," she explained. "This red makes sure I'll never miss Ms. Valentine, but I've only been using the less lethal shots. I'm running low on ammo though, I didn't have a lot on me because I didn't think we'd be fighting on this god forsaken island. So I need you to give me some of yours."

"Huh?" Usopp demanded. "I don't have any of my lethal ammo left! I converted most of it into special shots, and we haven't been shopping since Loguetown!"

"Seriously?!" Nojiko demanded, wearing an expression very alike to Nami. Usopp would never have guessed that they weren't related. "Well now what?! We're under fire from that madwoman, and Wapol is destroying the castle he's cares about so much!"

"I-I have a plan!" Chopper interrupted, as the pillar they were taking cover behind was destroyed by more debris. Usopp turned to the...reindeer, wearing a confused expression. He did?

"Well?" Nojiko asked. Chopper looked pretty frightened as well, but he nodded.

"If what your friend said is true, than obviously she's much more easy to defeat than we thought. You mentioned special ammo? Do you have any explosive shots?"

"U-Uh," Usopp said weakly, fumbling through his bag. He dropped them a few times, but eventually he pulled out a few of the aforementioned explosive rounds. "Yeah, right here."

"Good," he said. "Nojiko and I are going to distract her. While we do that, you need to land a shot. Just one. After that, let us handle it." Usopp made a face at this, looking over at Nojiko. The woman nodded, so Usopp took a deep breath.

"Okay," he said. "L-Let's do this!"

At this, their plan began.

Nojiko and Chopper jumped out from behind the destroyed pillar, running right for Ms. Valentine. Jumping away, Usopp crawled and laid down in between some of the debris she'd kicked their way. He aimed his rifle at Ms. Valentine, waiting with gritted teeth.

Chopper reached the woman first through the barrage of debris, his form changing. Usopp watched in surprise as the little child-like reindeer turned into a massive, hulking manlike figure, aiming a punch for the blonde. Ms. Valentine easily got out of the way, but Nojiko was ready for her now. The Merry's Quartermaster swung her leg into Ms. Valentine's side, and Usopp noted the blonde grit her teeth. Even though her weight changing powers let her not get blown away by such a kick, the kick clearly still did damage.

The two woman engaged in a quick hand-to-hand fight, Nojiko dodging all of the woman's strikes with ease. Usopp had to admit, her dodges and counterattacks looked very practised. It looked like her practice with Zoro and Sanji was working out for her. For a while, it worked out too.

Until it didn't.

Reading what Nojiko had been about to do, Ms. Valentine dipped under her high kick, smirking at Nojiko. The Quartermaster looked shocked, but Ms. Valentine was ready.

"2000 Kilogram Burst!" Two quick punches were delivered right into Nojiko's stomach and ribs, and Usopp felt fright as the blue haired girl spat up blood as she flew backwards and skidding across the ground. Chopper had jumped up to attack from above, but now Ms. Valentine was ready. Frozen by his indecision, and unwillingness to hurt his friends, Usopp did not fire. Ms. Valentine met Chopper's fist head on with her own, and while Chopper's attack clearly hurt her, Chopper was blown back by the sheer difference in impact. He flew upwards and into the ceiling. not reappearing.

S-Shit!

He watched as Ms. Valentine turned, wandering over to Nojiko as she attempted to get up from the blow beforehand. She was clearly hurt, as she struggled to get up.

"What will you do if not having this rifle gets someone killed down the line, and you could have prevented their death if you had it?"

Nojiko's words from Loguetown came back into Usopp's head. Just like that, his gaze hardened. His hands stopped shaking. All of a sudden, he had a clear shot at Ms. Valentine.

"Get away from her," He hissed under his breath as the reticle crossed and landed directly on the woman torso.

BANG!

With a mighty sound, the end of Usopp's rifle emitted smoke as he fired his shot. The cartridge soared across the battlefield, impacting Ms. Valentine just as she turned at the sound.

BOOM!

A cry of pain could be heard as the cartridge exploded, throwing up another plume of smoke as the explosion died away. Usopp took his eyes away from the cope and looked up, waiting for the result of their labour.

Soon enough the smoke cleared, and Ms. Valentine reappeared. She was standing exactly where she had been before, maybe a bit forward judging by the scraps under her feet. Her back was devoid of clothing, her yellow jacket having exploded along with the cartridge. Soon enough she coughed, staggering a bit.

"Assholes..." She hissed as she tried to stay on her feet. "How are you so...So strong? I don't understand."

"T-There's nothing to understand," Nojiko said, aiming her pistol at Ms. Valentine as she stood. "You underestimated us. All there is too it." The Quartermaster wiped the blood that was trickling down her face from her mouth, and this made Usopp apprehensive. How hurt was she? No way 2000 kilos to the ribs left her okay.

"Get out of the way," Usopp watched as Chopper walked up beside Ms. Valentine, his gaze on Wapol and his fight with the others. "You've lost. Accept it."

"I-I-"

"Chopper didn't wait to hear what she had to say, smacking her in the back with his enlarged fists. Ms. Valentine flew through the air and into the wall, not getting up again.

This left Wapol by himself.

It wasn't long before the remainder of the Straw Hat crew converged on the King, aiming to help their Captain, Cook and Dalton in defeating him.

"How're things going. Big Bro Luffy?!" Yosaku shouted up as Luffy dodged cannonballs that Wapol fired at him, running around the third floor.

"Alright so far!" The Captain's voice came. "I can handle it for you guys!"

"Nonsense, Luffy!" Vivi said. "We're all a team, aren't we? We'll finish him together!"

"You guys!" It was Chopper who spoke, making everyone turn to him. "I can help us defeat Wapol! Just keep him off of me for a little bit!" Usopp watched as the reindeer shrank back down into his smaller form from before, and brought his hooves together in front of his face. From the looks of it, at least from what Usopp could see, he was just staring through his hooves.

"Look out!" Johnny shouted as he hit the ground. "He's gonna fire a laser!"

"Gah!" Yosaku shouted, hitting the ground too.

"Are you guys sane?!" Vivi shouted, now also donning a look similar to Nami and Nojiko.

"Just keep him away from me!" Chopper said. "I'll find his weak spot!"

"You heard the reindeer!" Nojiko said. "What are you lugs waiting for?! Let's get this fatty!"

The voice of their Quartermaster seemed to spur the men of the Straw Hats into action, all of them preparing to attack. Usopp quickly loaded another of his remaining explosive rounds, and aimed it square at Wapol. As for the mad King, he looked positively livid.

"Can't trust Chess or Kuromarimo," he hissed. "Can't trust these bounty hunters. That's it! Clearly I'm the only competent one around here! Prepare to die, you grotesque animal!" With this Wapol's chest opened up, revealing a massive gun with a multitude of barrels. Harpoons the size of a full grown man appeared in each barrel, and soon enough the castle was once again getting destroyed by the rapid fire of deadly weaponry directly at Chopper.

"Scan!" The reindeer shouted as the Straw Hats bound into action, Zoro, Johnny and Yosaku appearing in front of them to deflect any immediate harpoons. Sanji appeared on Wapol's arm, kicking off any excess weaponry he could see. The king swatted at him with a free hand, but it barely did any good. Luffy and Dalton also climbed onto the King and began tearing away at anything they could find. Deciding he needed to do something, Usopp aimed and fired a round right at Wapol's fire, causing it to explode and the King to cough.

"Damn pirates!" He shouted as he swayed all around, causing the harpoons to fire every which way thanks to his shaking. "I'll kill all of you!"

"You're doing a better job at remodelling your castle," A new voice said. The harpoons stopped. The smoke cleared. The entire crew hit the ground and rolled, waiting for the next attack.

It came in the form of Wapol laughing his head off.

Usopp made a face as the King hit the ground and rolled from side to side, laughing as hard as he could. He couldn't even get a word in it was so bad. At this, Usopp saw yellow paint splashed across his back.

And Ms. Golden Week standing there.

"He should be easy to take out now," she said. "Who would like to do the honours?"

"Me!" Luffy shouted immediately. Without any warning the Captain of the Straw Hats bolted in front of everyone else, his arms stretching out behind him at an incredible length. "This is for hurting my friends! For nearly destroying this country! Oh, and eating Merry, you fat ass!"

"Y-You-!" Wapol tried, but he couldn't get any words out.

"Stuff it!" Luffy shouted, the sound of rubber cracking back into place echoing inside the castle. "Take the hint! No one wants you here! Gum-Gum Bazooka!"

One last hole was blown into the castle atop the mountain, as Luffy's attack sent the massive former King right through the opposing wall and straight into the night. His laughter soon died away, leaving the crew standing amidst the rubble. After a moment or two, Luffy laughed.

"So Nojiko," he said as he turned and placed his hands behind his head. "You were making us food?"

Like I said, we gettin off this island now. Enough screwing around. I hope you enjoyed, leave a review!
