Baroque Works
Every single member of the bounty hunters was looking up in shock toward the trio each sitting or preaching over a rooftop. They couldn't just get how they managed to escape from their trap; it always worked perfectly, and no one ever suspected anything…
…but the worst thing about this situation was that someone knew the name of their organization; that was impossible and dangerous to them in the first place. They looked at him in shock and disbelief. "What are you talking about? What do you mean?" Igarappoi asked with sweat traveling down his face for various reasons at the moment.
"I have to admit that this little trick of yours is impressive, but I found it kinda odd that citizens are greeting pirates," Zoro explained, "so you're just a bunch of bounty hunters that trick unsuspecting pirates and lure them into a false sense of security before you attack them and hand over their bounty." The man then began to look at them.
"So I see that there are over a hundred bounty hunters here. Hm…" Zoro hummed in a calm voice. He then looked at Luffy and asked, "So how are gonna split the kills in between us?"
Luffy then smashed his fist into his hand as he said, "I have an idea. Let's have a contest. The person who has the greatest number of kills wins the entire fight." Zoro shook his head before looking back at Robin who nodded.
They then heard Igarappoi ask, "How do you mean of this organization's name? tell me."
Zoro stood up as he unsheathed his white sword and said, "You see a couple of years back some idiot came to me and asked me if I was interested in joining an organization back then and working for his boss. The secrecy of this organization and the ranked names made me tell that man one thing if they want to work for them, they should send their boss to bow and ask me personally. Then there's your boss who no one here knows where he is or who he is. You baroque work crooks sure obey his orders blindly." Zoro smirked as he chuckled a little, "Tell me something; was that supposed to be some kind of secret?"
Igarappoi regained his composure, "I suppose that the current situation is a little bit unexpected," but then his face took a darker look as he added, "But I think that tonight the cactus mountains will have a new tomb added to them." Robin's eyes widened as she finally understood the cactus-shaped mountains and their needles. The needles were just a bunch of tomb headstones.
Igarappoi then yelled, "Get them and do…" he looked and all three were gone. Every member of the hunters readied their weapons expecting the trio will come out of nowhere, while in reality Zoro tripped and fell in an alley, Luffy fell while Robin went down to check on them.
The bounty hunters held their swords and their weapons tight to their hands as they looked around when suddenly Zoro asked from between them, "Looking for someone."
They looked yelled in fright as Zoro smiled happily, "Let the fight, begin." They all readied their guns and shoot at him, but the man disappeared causing the bounty hunters to shoot at each. They looked around trying to find him.
Igarappoi gritted his teeth in annoyance as he said, "Pull your weight. He's just one swordsman. Kill him…" he was silenced when a sword pierced one of his curls.
Zoro then asked him in a serious voice that made shivers run down his spine, "Tell me, what would be more beneficial for the graveyard industry here; one tombstone or a dozen?"
The bounty hunters saw that Zoro was now near Igarappoi and aimed their weapons at him causing the man to yell in fear, "Wait, you morons. I'm still here." The man pulled out a saxophone and was about to do something till something landed in his path.
It was none other than Luffy who said, "Don't hog all the fun, Zoro." The boy looked at the men and said, "Gum-Gum…" he then stretched his leg backward and brought it back, "…Whip". The rubber leg arched taking out 10 bounty hunters who were in its path.
The boy looked at Igarappoi who said, "End of the line, boy." The man blew into his saxophone, and bullets began to rain down on Luffy, but the boy chuckled as the bullets hit his body, but flew back toward Igarappoi who jumped away.
A yell could be heard as Zoro admonished Luffy, "You dumb idiot, you could have killed me."
The rubber could only reply in a very unapologetic tone, "Sorry, Zoro."
They didn't notice a couple of bounty hunters coming nearer to them, but suddenly when the bounty hunters tried to move, hands appeared all over their bodies and clenched them in a very painful pose. They heard the soft sound of feet as Robin walked past them and snapped her fingers snapping their backs in the process.
Igarappoi then yelled, "Attack them. There's only three of…" he looked and saw that all three have disappeared once again causing him to yell, "They disappeared once more?!"
The man then said, "Alright, fan out and find them. Make sure to kill the swordsman, but if you can take the boy alive do it. For the girl, having her alive is of utmost importance."
Mr. 9 then said, "Do they really think that they have a chance against us?" the man shook his head, "Let's finish this already. I want to go and sleep a little. I'm tired from working like a slave for that she-devil that they call a navigator." The man shivered remembering Nami.
On the side, Luffy said, "I have 10 kills to beat that Zoro." The man shook his head, "Well, I have 15. I'm higher than you, so that means that I won." They both looked at Robin who bloomed two hands in addition to her other two making both of them feel dejected that they lost.
Zoro then looked at the rest of the bounty hunters and said, "Let's go, we still have a couple more idiots to get rid of," he then looked at his new sword and smiled, "plus I want to test out my new swords on them."
Meanwhile, the rest of the strawhats were still in deep sleep, but one of them began to wake up.
Back to the trio, they heard a click as someone yelled, "Found you three."
Luffy, Zoro, and Robin replied quickly by punching, slashing, and breaking his bones. They all agreed that they might have gone overboard with that guy. They quickly divided themselves so they can split their enemy. Zoro dashed inside the house, Robin went into the alleyways, and finally, Luffy launched himself into the distance.
With Zoro, the man entered the house only to see a couple of bounty hunters with guns waiting for him at the windows. The man ran and slid under the table kicking it and making it into a shield to protect himself from the hail of bullets that they were targeting him.
Once Zoro regained control of the situation, he smirked from behind the table as he unsheathed the Yubashiri, and cut through the table as he raced toward the bounty hunters and took them down in one swipe of the blade. The man looked at his blade and said, "Light and nice. I already like this sword." He then heard a couple of voices and said, "Well, look at that it seems that they already found me."
The man then went up a set of stairs. He quickly found a man holding a bazooka waiting for him, but suddenly the man had a rubber hand grab him and yank him toward the alleyways as Zoro yelled, "Hey that was my kill."
The man then noticed that he was being surrounded by a couple of men and he decided to pop out both Yubashiri and Kitetsu. The man then ducked and sliced a barrel that Ms. Monday threw him causing the rubble to hit some of the bounty hunters. Some of the contents of the barrel hit Zoro's face causing him to say, "All this lost sake. What a waste of a good drink!"
Ms. Monday tried to do the man, but a couple of phantom hands appeared over her legs and pulled her down the building.
Zoro then ducked his head to the side as she swung Kitetsu and cut through a rock mallet. The man was shocked at how strong his blade was as he used Yubashiri to knock out a couple of bounty hunters, "It cut through the mallet easily. It is to be expected from it, but a legendary blade should only kill when its user wants it to."
He then went down the stairs and saw a child who aimed a knife at him, but Zoro knocked it and took him out a nun who tried to trick him. he looked and saw that the place was barren so he said, "The others must have taken them out. Better run to find some more people."
The man began to run around the town and he only found people with broken bones or bruises all over their bodies. The man chuckled to himself as he finally stood in front of Igarappoi who said, "It appears that we're both here."
The man quickly went for his saxophone, but Zoro didn't give him time as he quickly slashed it into pieces. The curly-haired man frowned as he had a string in his hand and yelled, "I will not go down so easily."
Zoro was shocked when the man had gun barrels come out of his hair, and began to shoot at him. Zoro jumped to the side dodging the bullets. Igarappoi yelled, "Ma, Ma, you will not go out of this island alive. You will go out of here in a casket."
Once Igarappoi finished shooting at the swordsman. He looked around nervously hoping that he managed to get Zoro, but suddenly felt pain travel through his body making the man fall to the ground, he looked up and saw Zoro standing there with a very calm expression. "How?"
Zoro replied calmly, "You're just a small fish here. You should learn your place in this world."
The swordsman heard footsteps behind. He turned around thinking that his friends finished their fights, but saw two completely different people causing him to say, "How the hell are you?"
With Luffy, once the boy launched himself, he saw a couple of bounty hunters following which made him smile. He was going to have so much fun fighting these people.
When he landed, he was in an open field with bounty hunters surrounding him. The boy smiled as he cracked his knuckles and said, "Bring it on."
Men holding guns then began shooting at him only for the bullets to hit his body and recoil back to the source taking out a couple of people. Luffy then jumped into the air and yelled, "Gum-Gum…" he then began to throw one punch after the other, "Gatling"
Scores of bounty hunters fell to the ground groaning in pain as Luffy landed beside them and turned around, "Alright, who's next?" the boy then dashed forward readying his fist.
Someone from an alley jumped on the boy raising his sword as he yelled, "Die brat."
Luffy dodged the blade by ducking under and kicking the man away causing him to hit a couple of his comrades knocking them out cold too. The boy looked at them and said, "Come on, fight better. You guys are seriously weak. You can't even throw a proper punch." Luffy said as he ducked under a fist before kicking its owner away.
Luffy then grabbed a man who was shooting at him and yelled, "Gum-Gum…" he began to rotate the man around using him as a human hammer, "…Live Hammer"
At the end of this, the man was filled with cuts and bruises from the less-than-gentle treatment he just received. Luffy let him down as he sent two arms in different directions and stretched them. He began to back away at the same time till his hands were stretched to the maximum, and yelled, "Gum-Gum Rocket." He let go of what he was holding and was sent barreling toward the bounty hunters taking lots of them in one hit.
As he was soaring through the air, he noticed a bazooka-holding man in front of a surprised Zoro so he grabbed the man and took him away into an alleyway where he managed to land.
The boy stood up and laughed and looked at the man that was in his grasp and laughed happily, "That was exciting, wasn't it?"
He then let the man fall as he got out of the alleyway, and saw Mr.9 who was now standing in front of him holding two bats. The boy looked at him bored as he knew that this fight will be for all intents and purposes shortly lived.
The man attacked Luffy as he swung the bats, "Hot-Blooded Gusty Bat." The boy allowed the hit to connect on his face making Mr.9 smile as he said, "Yes, I managed to take him out."
The boy calmly replied, "No not really, you see I'm a rubber man so physical blows can't really work on me." The boy then moved the bat from his face as the man stepped away in fear. Luffy then punched the man so hard in the gut, it caused him to pass out from the pain.
The boy sighed as he walked away looking for more people to fight, but stopped as he heard nothing and carried the man to meet up with Zoro. They needed to tie them anyway so they won't be able to hurt their friends.
With Robin, the girl was making her through the alleyways when a bounty hunter jumped in front of her and said, "Give up, girly. Make this easier for both of us." The man tried to take a step forward but felt something grabbing him from behind. Suddenly, this feeling went through his entire body as disembodied arms held him in his place and began to tighten their grip on him till his back broke and Robin walked away from him.
The girl unlike the boys found little resistance in her path as anyone who came across her suffered from a broken back and everlasting nightmares from hearing bones being snapped in half.
The girl at some point climbed a huge ladder allowing bounty hunters to follow her only for her to push the ladder away causing scores of her pursuers to fall to the ground yelling in fear as they collided with the hard surface.
She then proceeded to jump on them causing them all to have even more injuries, but she then noticed Ms. Monday throwing a barrel at Zoro so she grew arms on the woman and dragged her to her as she said, "Let's end this quickly, shall we?"
The giant woman roared as she raced toward Robin, but the girl jumped to the side causing her to smash her head against a wall. The huge woman backed away in a daze but shook her head as she readied herself to fight one more.
She suddenly felt that her entire body was glued to the ground. She looked down only to see phantom hands and limbs tying her down. She then felt something grabbing the back of her head.
Robin slowly made her toward the huge woman as she said in a very calm voice, "Not so tough now, are we? You know it's really easy for you to fight against someone asleep, but when someone is wide awake, all of you become walking targets." The arm holding her head began to play it back harder, "so tell me now, are you feeling fear?"
The woman was sweating bullets as Robin said, "Seuis Fleur: Snap" the sound of bone breaking could be heard from miles away.
The girl walked for a moment before saying, "Come out, princess. I know that you're hiding behind the wall. I promise that I mean no harm to you even though you tried to harm me and my friends."
Vivi then emerged from behind a wall with a huge duck-looking creature as she said, "Please don't expose. I only did this for my country. If you want money, I'll give lots of it, but don't tell anyone my secret. All of my hard work will be for nothing."
Robin frowned as she walked to the girl and hugged her saying, "I promise that I truly mean no harm to you. And when I offered my help, it was out of the goodness of my heart, and I wasn't planning on exploiting you or anything." The girl still remembers when she fought for her small home island.
Vivi looked at her and asked, "Really?" She wiped away some tears with Robin nodding her head with a gentle smile. The girl was now more relaxed as Robin allowed her to sit on the ground and told her to take it easy.
When the princess finally managed to calm Robin let go of her and asked, "Are you better now?" the princess nodded her head.
"Good, Good," Robin said absentmindedly. "Now let's talk about what is happening in your country so I can help you in any way possible?" the blue-haired agreed as she stood up and began to walk confusing Robin.
The princess looked at her and said, "If you truly want to hear my story, you might as well meet my accomplice in this whole matter. He will be better than me at explaining these types of things. I was never for explaining stuff or clarifying them."
both girls didn't notice two things. One was a certain orange-haired girl who had bellies in her eyes, and an otter and a vulture sitting in the house watching them.
Back with Zoro, the man was looking at two idiots as he would call them. One of them was a girl wearing a lemon-themed dress, while her friend was a man wearing a red coat.
The two looked at him and the woman laughed with the man asking, "This question that you asked is the one we should be asking you. Who the heck are you?"
The man shook his head as he said, "You know what forget it." He suddenly began picking in his nose as flicked a booger at Zoro who was beyond disgusted and weirded out by this.
Zoro then yelled "What the fu…" he was then engulfed in an explosion that sent him flying toward a house nearby. The duo looked at him and the man said, "Well, that wasn't too hard, was it?"
Igarappoi looked at them and asked with a strained frown, "Mr.5 and Ms. Valentine, what are you doing here? Did you come here to mock us for failing to capture the pirates?"
The woman now known as Ms. Valentine said with a smile, "Well, laughing at you is one of the things that I was sent to do."
Igarappoi lifted himself as he looked at them, "Well since you are here, you can help us take out the pirates. You already took one out, and I'm sure that you can help me take out the others…" he was silenced by Ms. Valentine laughing at him while Mr.5 sneered at him.
The bomb man asked, "Do you think that we came here to joke around or play with the likes of you? We came here on a very important mission." He said as a vulture came down from the sky and handed him a small piece of paper. The man read it and smiled.
"You see our boss noticed some of our employees lurking around his base and following the unluckies around when they went to report to him or take missions. And that member actually managed to find his secret out. You know that our organization creed is secrecy." The man rubbed his chin as he began to notice that the curly-haired man began to sweat a little.
Ms. Valentine carried on, "As any hardworking man running an organization, he began a little investigation that led him to something important. He discovered that there was a spy in the organization. He didn't know how since the spy was very clever in covering his tracks, but imagine his surprise when one of the numbered agents looked exactly like a missing princess of a certain nation." The man meanwhile was breathing heavily getting more nervous by the minute.
The bomb man then said, "So he sent us here to make sure that we catch the spy and any possible accomplice she has red-handed, so imagine my surprise when I discovered that you look like the head of the guards of Alabasta, Igaram."
The man jumped up from his position yelling, "I won't allow you to harm princess Vivi." He then opened fire at them which they dodged as the bomb man said, "Double Nose Canon"
He then sent two boogers toward Igaram injuring him heavily as Ms. Valentine said, "Now sit tight here while we go bring the princess." They two then walked away from the injured man leaving him on the ground.
The man wondered if all hope was lost, when suddenly Zoro came out of the wreckage of the house, he was sent into drinking a bottle of sake. "Man, that was some good," Zoro said.
Igaram looked up at him and asked, "You're still alive?" Zoro shrugged as he continued drinking the booze and said, "That attack never really affected me, but I found a good bottle of booze."
Igaram crawled over to him, "Please help protect the princess. I'll give you anything that you wish off, but please keep princess Vivi safe."
Zoro looked at him with a raised eyebrow, "Weren't you trying to kill us just a moment ago? Why on earth would I want to do anything with you?"
The man began to panic as he added, "I'm terribly sorry for what I've done, but please save the princess. She's only doing as I told her. She needs to be saved so that our kingdom can be saved."
"Leave my leg alone, damn it." Zoro yelled, "You still haven't given me a good reason why should I help you?"
"Well, I can think I can help you with that." They all looked up and saw Nami sitting there with a huge grin on her face as she added, "But our help will come with a small fee that is totally reasonable, after all, we are saving a princess and transporting her back to her country."
Igaram smiled, "Yes, name your price my fair lady and it shall be yours."
Nami tipped her chin and said, "Well, I think that bellies would do nicely." The man nodded his head happily till he registered the price and gasped in horror as he said, "What about that is a reasonable price? I'm sure we can manage something, but that's way too high."
"So you're saying that you don't want the princess to be safe and back in her kingdom." The man began to sweat and bit his nails as he closed his eyes.
He finally replied, "How about that you talk with the king when the mission is done?" the girl hummed for a bit before nodding her head as the man sighed and passed out from his injuries.
Nami looked at Zoro and said, "Well, you heard the man you have a princess to go and protect, so get to it."
Zoro stood there for a moment barely registering what she said till he asked, "And why should I go when you're the one who made the deal?" the answer to his question was a swift punch to the head causing him to faceplant into the ground as Nami was still smiling at him.
The girl asked, "Does this answer your question, or do you need more presentation?"
The man lifted his head from the ground and glared at Nami as he said, "I ain't going to do it." He crossed his arms as Nami had a huge Cheshire grin spread across her face.
The girl walked around him for a bit and said, "And here I thought I can take you to this house I found with the tastiest booze ever, but it appears that I'll just have to myself."
The man looked at her and asked, "How good are we talking about here?" the girl gave him a thumbs-up to which the man jumped up quickly and said, "Well, I think that I can help you just a bit, but I expect to see those booze bottles when I come back here."
The man stood up and he ran away to catch up with the two clowns that left earlier as Nami said with a huge grin on her face, "What a sucker! I love money so much. I'm going to be rich!" her eyes suddenly turned into bellies signs.
The girl then walked around as she entered the people's homes and said, "I hope I can find something worth my time. Most of the homes I hit were dirt poor."
Back with Robin and Vivi, Robin looked at Vivi and said, "So you had an accomplice all this time to help you run things smoothly."
The princess nodded her head, "I couldn't do it alone back then, so I needed help so the head of our guard volunteered to go with me on the mission."
"Impressive princess, but I still don't get it why would you want me alive, if you thought that I was threatening your plans." Vivi looked at her confused till she remembered that the boss said that he needed Robin alive.
Vivi replied, "That wasn't me. the boss himself truly wants you alive. I have no idea though."
Robin hummed wondering what value she might be to the boss as someone yelled, "Robin," she looked and saw Luffy approaching them. Vivi panicked as she saw the downed form of Mr.9 on Luffy's shoulder.
Luffy looked at Vivi before turning to Robin, "What's with her? or better yet; what is she doing with you?" Vivi was worried that Luffy might not help her as Robin said.
Robin replied quickly, "She's my friend and she needs our help." The boy blinked for a moment dropping the unconscious Mr.9 as he said, "Okay, so when do we help her?"
Vivi's widened at how easily he was convinced, but then remembered that they were a couple and attributed it to that. they began to walk together to meet Zoro.
Midway through their walk, Luffy suddenly bolted quickly grabbing both Robin and Vivi in time to avoid an explosion. The boy looked up in anger as he said, "Hey, why did you do that? you almost hit us, you damned jerk."
Mr.5 then came out of the shadows and said, "I'm sorry. I'll just have to make sure to hit you next time. I promise that I won't make the same mistake once again."
Robin then grabbed Vivi's hand and used her powers to yank them to safety as something crashed where they were standing. Both looked at the location as the smoke cleared with Ms. Valentine standing there with a huge grin on her face, "Stop squirming around so I can capture both of you."
Luffy then said, "Both of you go away. I'll handle this." Vivi tried to interject, but Robin grabbed and ran away with her as Mr.5 flicked a booger toward them, but Luffy jumped in the way and blocked it. the boy jumped toward the man as he stretched his leg back and kicked him with a huge force, but as the man was sent away Luffy exploded.
The boy didn't carry as he landed on the ground with Ms. Valentine coming from behind him and seeing, "I ate the kilo-kilo fruit so that means I can increase my weight. How about we see how you can handle a ton sent straight on your head?"
The girl crashed on him and smiled, but Luffy shocked her by lifting her over his head and throwing her toward his partner who dodged just in time to avoid being crushed by her.
Luffy then darted forward and kicked her in the stomach, and used her as a shield to protect himself from Mr.5's booger. He then punched Mr.5 in the face knocking him to the ground. Luffy then kicked the girl in her gut and sent her to the ground.
The two numbers looked at each other, and 5 said, "I think we should split up. This way I can handle the brat while you go and capture the girls." The woman nodded as they began their plan.
The woman said, "I'd love to play with you both, but I have something to do so goodbye." She jumped in the air as Luffy jumped after trying to intercept, but Mr.5 threw an explosive booger toward him causing him to fall to the ground.
The boy stood back up and glared at Mr.5, but he knew that he had to stop Ms. Valentine first. He then launched himself once more, but unlike last when he managed to catch Ms. Valentine as he said, "Hey, weight lady, try this on for size." He stretched both his arms back as he said, "Gum-Gum Bazooka." The boy hit her straight in the gut sending her to the ground.
In the meantime, Mr.5 caught up to his partner who was groaning in pain and saw the boy falling so he yelled, "IT'S OVER, KID. DIE" he tried to send two flying boogers, but he suddenly felt a horrible pain traveling through his body.
He looked in front of him to see Zoro standing there with a smirk as he said, "I'm sorry that I'm a little for the festival, but better late than never I suppose." He then took a stance and aimed at Mr.5 and said, "ONI GIRI"
He slashed the man causing him to pass out from the pain as Luffy looked at Ms. Valentine and yelled, "GUM-GUM PISTOL"
Both agents then fell to the ground as Luffy said, "They were weak." Zoro nodded his head as Luffy added, "Let's go met with the others."
It only took them a couple of moments till they finally found the girls as Vivi asked them, "What happened? Did you manage to run away from them or make them lose your track?" she then finished tying Igaram's wounds who excused himself to do something.
Luffy shrugged as he said, "No, we beat them. They were kinda weak." Vivi felt shocked about this but shook her head. She then bowed a little in front of them saying, "On behalf of the nation and country of Alabasta, I sincerely thank you for helping me."
Zoro lay down on the ground saying, "You can save the thanks till we manage to bring you back home." he looked at Nami and asked her, "Now where's that booze that you promised me with?"
The girl gave him an innocent-looking face as she said, "I did, didn't I? well, I'm sorry to break it to you, but it was empty when I went there, but don't feel bad. I'm sure you can find plenty more here."
Zoro sighed as he expected this, but he hoped as if he was wrong. The girl managed to get him good.
He then looked at Vivi and said, "Now, since we're planning to help you. Can you at least tell us your story?"
Vivi blinked as she said, "Yes, right. I suppose that I owe you guys much. My name is Vivi, the sworn princess of the kingdom of Alabasta. My kingdom for a couple of years was put under huge civil unrest due to unknown reasons. So I went undercover to find out the reason with the head of guards Igaram following behind me. they did work for 3 years till we finally managed to reach the cause of our plight. The shadow organization known as Baroque works was the reason for all the trouble my country was going through along with the man that leads it."
Zoro then asked, "Okay, tell us who the leader is?"
The girl panicked as she began to wave her hands right and left telling them that doing this will put all of their lives in danger, "That man you speak of is a horrible monster of epic proportions. He's someone who won't hesitate to kill a child. He a man would send you to the ends of the earth if you ever found out about his name…"
Nami then said in relief, "Thanks for that Vivi. We don't need that type of monster on our back."
Robin then said, "But we're going to help her, so is it best to know who we're up against."
The girl then said, "No, even if you're helping me, there's no way I'll tell that the warlord Crocodile is the reason behind everything happening to my country."
A moment of silence passed till Zoro said, "You said his name."
Both Nami and Vivi gasped as the former began to strangle the latter who kept apologizing saying that she didn't mean it.
Nami then turned around and said, "Well guys, it was nice knowing you, but I'm going away from you before that warlord begins hunting us down."
She then heard shuffling and saw an otter and a vulture up a building with the otter having a sketching board. The little creature then presented to her different pictures of herself and her friends to which the girl applauded, but suddenly it tried to fly away. Tried being the key word here, since Robin quickly intercepted them, and put the two creatures out of their misery.
Robin then said, "And now, we can still have the element of surprise on our side."
Nami looked at the girl and said, "You're a brutal person." Robin moved to defend herself, but Nami stopped her as she said, "Don't even try to deny it." the raven head pouted as she looked away.
Vivi then said, "Alright, I think this works perfectly. A little bit brutal, but still this is good, so for now all we have to do is go to Alabasta and tell my father what I found, and hopefully I'll be able to prevent any bloodshed."
Robin looked at her unconvinced given that there's no such thing as 'no bloodshed in a civil war' type case, but she can't stop the princess from hoping for the best.
Igaram then came around the corner wearing a dress and make-up similar to Vivi making every male conscious or not seem offended due to the horrid abomination that he transformed into.
The man then said, "I'll help with that. you see. I'll go to the capital in this dress to lead off any potential pursuers that you may have princess." The girl walked up to him and hugged him thanking him profusely.
The man then walked away to start his plan as the strawhats went to retrieve their other members.
An hour later after Igaram has already departed everyone was on board with Usopp and Sanji groaning in anger about being forced away from the island only to receive the Nami treatment. Luffy now yelled, "Now let's get moving."
Vivi then yelled, "Wait, I still have to get my duck, Curie."
Everyone looked at her as she began to tell them how she was with the duck from the moment that she was a child till Zoro pointed out that it was already on the ship.
From there, the ship began to sail to a new island.
