Arriving at Water 7, the straw hats split up.

Except for Sanji who was back at the ship recovering his injuries with Chopper.

Kuro was with Luffy and the two were exploring.

Kuina was with Robin and Nami buying new drip for the crew..

Usopp was with Zoro going to the bank to exchange their gold from Skypiea.


Going to restaurants, Luffy and Kuro tried the many delicacies.

"It tastes great but not as great as Sanji," Luffy munched.

"I'm sure we can eat Sanji's cooking again after he heals up," Kuro munched.

Thinking about that Gordon Ramsay-level cooking, Kuro salivated.

Feeling full, the two rode around on the many modes of transportation.

"Cap, I think we might need a new ship," Kuro stopped.

Luffy stopped, "What do you mean?"

Kuro smiled, "Merry won't be able to handle the stress further up the Grand Line, she'll sink if she continues at this rate."

Luffu fell into thought, "We have money, can't we fix her?"

Kuro smiled sadly, "Sorry Cap, but money won't be able to leave Merry."

Luffy stared at Kuro, "But I don't want to leave Merry."

Kuro nodded, "Yeah, me too. Let's talk about this with the crew later."

Luffy nodded and the two continued riding.


As Kuina was following and guarding Nami and Robin, she felt eyes all around her.

They were the eyes of the strong.

But not as strong as her.

So far, they hadn't done anything, but if they tried anything funny, they weren't going to like what happens to them.

"What are you thinking about Kuina?" Nami questioned.

"A few people are following us, their eyes are especially on Robin," Kuina replied.

Robin frowned at Kuina's words, "Are they a threat?"

Kuina shook her head, "At best, they're super rookies."

Immediately, Nami and Robin felt calm, super rookies weren't really a big deal, especially for Kuina.

Suddenly, they were surrounded.

"I feel like we can't have any peace on any island we visit," Nami frowned.

"I agree," Robin studied the men surrounding them intently.

Rob Lucci came forth, "Hand Nico Robin over."

Robin's eyes widened but remained calm.

Nami stared at them suspiciously.

"Yeah no," Kuima dully stated and took out her sword.

"You're making a big mistake," Rob Lucci stated coldly.

Kuina laughed, "You're talking big for a small fry."

"There's no need to talk to them!" Blueno rushed forward.

Kuina swung her sword once and Blueno fell to the ground with blood gushing out.

The Cipher Pols' eyes widened, they didn't think Kuina was that strong.

Kuina narrowed her eyes, "You're very inexperienced for someone strong. Hmmmmm, ah, I remember, you all must be Cipher Pols."

Hearing what Kuina said brought them out of their shock.

"We've been blown, take her down!" Rob Lucci stated.

They rushed forward but tripped from Robin's arms.

Kuina took the opportunity and cut them all down.

Kuina stared at Rob Lucci dully, "I expected more, but I guess that's too much."

Kuina stepped towards Rob Lucci and he flinched back.

Feeling embarrassed at his cowardice, Rob Lucci became angry and attacked.

He stopped immediately as Kuina's sword was right on his neck.

"Hmmmmm, tch," Kuona shook her head.

She turned her back and went toward Robin and Nami who had watched the scene with awe.

Feeling shocked and ashamed, Rob Lucci's anger took over and he attacked.

Zoro's sword cut into Rob Lucci before he could land a hit and the man fell.

"What were you thinking Kuina?" Zoro stared.

Kuina shrugged, "I knew you had my back."

Zoro looked at the fallen men, "Who are they."

"Cipher Pol," Kuina smiled.

"Don't look like much," Zoro studied.

"Yeah," Kuina sighed, "I was hoping for a challenge in the Grand Line, not a bunch of weaklings."

Zoro nodded in agreement.

Usopp showed up, "What happened here?"

Nami sighed, "Just a bunch of troublemakers, let's go."

The five left and headed back to Merry.

Rob Lucci got up and looked at his wound.

His wound was deep, if it had gone further, he would have died.

That man Zoro had given him mercy.

Thinking of all the training he went through as a child, Rob Lucci felt more humiliated as some pirates were able to easily deal with him.

Looking at the other fallen Cipher Pols, he picked them up.

For now, they would have to recover and he would have to call Spandam for backup.

Although it hurt his pride, Rob Lucci knew the mission was more important.


At the Merry, the whole crew gathered.

Suddenly, Franky and his boys showed up.

The strawhats looked at Franky strangely.

"You have treasures right?" Franky questioned.

"Yeah, about one billion berri I believe," Kuro replied.

Franky felt his jaw drop, "There's no way you got all that money from pirating!"

Luffy smiled, "We got it from a treasure sky island."

Franky and his boys seemed to woah.

Before Franky could speak, Kuro spoke, "Let me guess. You want to rob us, pirates?"

"What!?" Nami shark teethed and glared at Franky and his boys.

"Uh yeah," Franky nodded lost.

Kuro took out a top hat and put it on.

He pulled out a candy cane and pointed it at Franky, "Let's make a deal, our ship here won't be able to sail the Grand Line for longer without sinking. Find us a reputable shipwright to make us a ship and we'll give you two hundred million berri. Do we have a deal?"

Nami shook Kuro, "Two hundred million berri!"

Kuro held up his hand, "We can always get more, don't worry."

Nami still wanted to shake him but decided to trust him.

Kuro turned to Franky, "Do we have a deal?"

Franky fell into thought, "Actually, I'm a reputable shipwright myself."

Kuro smiled and looked at the crew, "Would you look at that, our crew is quite lucky ain't it?" Kuro winked.

Immediately, everyone realized this was the luck of the crew.

Mouths hung open and Kuro took a secret picture.

Kuro turned to Franky and threw a treasure chest toward the man.

Franky caught the treasure chest and looked at it blankly.

"There's five hundred million berri in there, take two hundred million berri and make us a great ship with the rest of the three hundred million," Kuro waved.

Franky felt lost, "Alright," was all Franky could respond.

Franky and his boys left as the strawhats watched.

"So that's what you did with our bounty money," Zoro awed.

Kuina stared at Kuro, "Always thought you threw our money into the ocean since we couldn't carry it."

"What?" was all Nami could sound.

"During our bounty hunting days, we acquired lots of money. Kuro kept it in his inventory or whatever," Zoro elaborated.

The crew O'd.

Usopp suddenly remembered something, "We can't abandon Merry!"

Kuro smiled and disappeared, in front of everyone appeared a shy kid in a yellow raincoat.

Everyone stood in awe at the sight.

Merry waved her hand, "Hi everyone, I'm Merry," Merry smiled.

Kuina blinked, "I thought you were on crack when you said you were speaking to Merry's ghost."


Franky boys came to the strawhats.

It was night time and the stars were shining.

Kuro looked at them with a smile, "What's wrong?"

"Big bro Franky's been kidnapped by some people!" Zambai yelled.

Kuro nodded with a smile, "I see and understand."

The strawhats came out upon hearing the scream.

Kuro took out a banana in front of them and dialed it.

They knew he was calling Trust Me Bro but it looked weird every time.

Kuro smiled, "Uh huh, I see, I understand, very well, okay, hmmm, yeah we can do that, that doesn't sound bad, alright alright."

Kuro peeled the banana and ate it, he looked at Franky's boys, "Your bro has been kidnapped by Cipher Pols and is being taken to Enies Lobby. Know any train that leads to Enies Lobby?"

"Yes," Zambai stammered as he wondered how.

"That's a dangerous place," Robin stated.

"And a very good place to raise our bounty," Kuro grinned, "Who's up for raising their bounty!?"

"Me!" Luffy yelled with excitement.

"Me," Kuina smiled.

"Me," Zoro grinned.

"Me," Sanji exited.

"You're all crazy!" Nami yelled.


Chaos was everywhere in Enies Lobby as the strawhats played around.

For the Marines, it was a terrible nightmare.

For the strawhats, it was their playground.

Luffy went around trying out his third gear by destroying buildings.

Zoro and Kuina were competing with each other to take down the most marines and Cipher Pols.

Cipher Pols were worth more points so they quickly took down Cipher Pols one after another.

Sanji protected Robin and Nami as the two went around.

Chopper was wreaking havoc on buildings after eating a rumble ball.

Usopp went around his Sogeking mask shooting at any enemies he came across.

Kuro was drinking tea in a top hat with Franky who took in the sight blankly.

Around their table were a bunch of unconscious Cipher Pols.

Spandam nicely served tea to them.

Kuro took a sip of his tea, "I say I say, mister Franky, it would've been bad if the World Government had gotten their hand on Pluton's blueprint."

Franky sipped his tea and stared at Kuro, "You know about Pluton blueprint?"

Kuro nodded, "Yes sir yes sir, and I know all three of the ancients weapon location."

Spandam seemed to choke as he continued serving tea.

"I don't believe you," Franky sipped his tea.

"I say I say, you got to believe me," Kuro sipped.

Suddenly, a transponder snail rang.

Kuro picked it up, "I say I say, what are you calling me for Sengoku, don't tell me Fire Fist Ace has been captured and we're about to wage war with Whitebeard."

"What?" A lost Sengoku voice sounded.

"If you're been trying to reach me about my ship's warranty, then stop please," Kuro shut the snail.

Kuro took out a golden snail with a button, "Behold, as I click the button and Enies Lobby go boom," Kuro grinned.

Kuro clicked the button and Spandam gasped.

Nothing went boom and Kuro clicked it again.

Nothing went boom again and Kuro clicked it again.

Kuro took a deep breath and proceeded to repeatedly smash the button, "Why isn't it working! Man screw the World Government, this place sucks ass."

"Let's go guys!" Kuro's voice sounded throughout Enies Lobby.


The strawhats woke up tiredly and sat around the dinner table.

"Kuroooooo!!!" Luffy whined:

Kuro smiled and saluted, "Aye ya Cap?"

"Has our bounty arrived yet?" questioned Luffy.

"Cap no cap," Kuro replied.

"What?" Luffy became confused along with everyone else.

They wondered why Kuro was speaking that way.

"Also your grandpa is going to crash into the house like Kool-Aid Man and yell Luffy," Kuro stared blankly.

'What?'Was all everyone could think before the walls broke.

"Luffy!!!!!!" Garp yelled.

"Aaaaaahhhhhh!" Luffy scream.

"Coby, Helmeppo, come in!" Kuro yelled.

Coby and Helmeppo came in through the hole with awe.

"Looks like you two scrub got some muscle," Kuro smiled.

Coby and Helmeppo became flustered at his words.

"Don't hit me gramps!" Luffy yelled.

"Fist of Love!!!" Garp screamed.

"What's going on!!!" Nami yelled.

"It's muffin time!!!" Kuro yelled and started throwing muffins around.

Robin felt her expression change at all the crazy thing that was happening.

Sanji's mouth just hung open.

Chopper hid behind Usopp who hid behind Kuina.

"Please explain," Kuina smiled.

Kuro pointed at Garp, "Didn't I tell you about Cap's gramp, Garp, the strongest marine currently. He's emperor level right now, but that's only because of old age. From what I heard, back in his prime, he could demolish seven mountains with a single fist."

Chopper and Usopp became awed.

Zoro and Kuina steeled themselves.

Robin and Sanji's eyes widened.

The marines outside jumped with shock.

Garp stop hitting Luffy and turned to Kuro, "Looks like you know a lot about me?"

Kuro smiled, "Yep," could you sign this autograph.

"Sure," Garp grinned laughing and signed it.

Kuro looked at the autograph with awe as the strawhats brain stopped working.

"Heard you met your old man at Lougetown Luffy," Garp grinned.

"Old man?" Luffy tilted his head.

"He means your dad Cap," Kuro explained.

Luffy looked confused, "I have a dad?"

"You also have a mom Cap," Kuro explained.

Luffy became more confused, "I have a mom?"

"You also have a grandma," Kuro explained.

Luffy's eyes widened, "I have a grandma?"

"You also..."

"Would you stop that!" Nami smacked Kuro on the head.


Sailing away with Franky, the strawhats coup de burst from Garp.

"Bounty time!" Kuro yelled.

Everyone huddle around like unga bunga as Kuro laid out the bounties.

Killer Kuina had a bounty of two hundred million berri.

Demon Zoro had a bounty of one hundred million berri.

Crackhead Kuro had a bounty of three hundred fifty million berri.

Strawhat Luffy had a bounty of four hundred hundred million berri.

Pet Chopper had a bounty of ten berri.

Theif Nami had a bounty of twenty million berri.

Blackleg Sanji had a bounty of one hundred million berri.

Sogeking had a bounty of fifty million berri.

Robin had a bounty of one hundred million berri.

Franky had a bounty of fifty million berri.

Kuina grinned at her bounty.

Zoro was disappointed and felt he should have showed off more.

Luffy felt the bounty's number itself making him feel stronger.

Chopper felt dead inside at his bounty.

Nami breathed a sigh of relief as her bounty only doubled.

Sanji grinned as his bounty was finally equal to Zoro.

Usopp breathed a sigh of relief as they hadn't taken a picture of his actual face.

Franky felt his bounty poster was super cool.

Kuro counted up the bounty and totaled it to one billion three hundred twenty million and ten berri.

"Hmmmmmm, looks likes the World government might send two warlord at us," Kuro murmured.

Everyone took a deep breath.

Kuina and Zoro grinned.

Luffy and Sanji were excited.

Usopp, Nami, and Chopper shivered with fear.

Franky gulped wondering what kind of crew he joined.

Robin smiled, "Let's hope they don't send Doflamingo who can skin us alive with his strings."

"Eeeeeeeeee," Usopp, Nami, and Chopper screamed.
