Luna and Vivi fell to the bottom shocking the crew who laid below. Luna summoned a sphere of water to cushion her landing.
"LUNA!"
"VIVI!"
Luna wasted no time setting Vivi down before facing the group, "we don't have time for a reunion. There is a bomb in the clock tower. He's planning on destroying both armies in one go. We have ten minutes until it goes off."
Peli joined them after dropping Luffy off up top. Vivi looked shocked at Luna. "It's in the clock tower?"
"Yes, and for anyone else Luffy is not dead he's up top fighting Crocodile." This caused Usopp, who was very injured, and Chopper to cry in happiness. Luna turned to Peli, "can you give us sky cover?"
Peli looked to Vivi, who gave a firm nod. Looking back at the white haired woman, "you can count on me."
Luna gave a smile, "I know I can you helped Luffy after all."
Peti was shocked but Luna paid no mind turning back to her crew mates. "We should split up so Crocodile's men have a harder time stopping us."
Zoro suddenly cut down a man who was about to attack Luna from behind. Luna seemed unfazed, "thank you Zoro. Looks like they found us already."
"We found you, Princess Vivi."
"I wonder how far I'll be prompted if I kill you..."
"Ten minus how many seconds?!" Sanji yelled as he kicked another man.
"Hey, we're wasting time by talking," replied Zoro. The two faced the Billons, who were crowding the group.
"Two second!" Both yelled in unison as they made a way for the others to get through.
Luna took the chance they made, "Let's go! Split up everyone head for the meeting spot!"
The crew quickly dispersed leaving Sanji and Zoro to take out the Billons.
Vivi stayed with Luna still confused about the information she had, "Luna... How do you know what you do?"
Luna sighed as they ran for the clock tower, while avoiding Billons, "Vivi, now isn't the time. Know this, everything I'm doing is for the good of your country. You're our friend and I'm deadly loyal. I know it's hard to understand but please... you trust Luffy, and Luffy trust me."
Before Vivi could reply they were surrounded by Billons. Luna took a fighting stance ready to take them out when the Billons cried out in pain. Standing behind them were the marines and Tashigi.
"We'll assist you!" Tashigi stated. "Please stop the explosion of the Square. Now, Hurry!"
Usopp had joined them by this time, Luna kept her eyes on Tashigi, "Usopp take Vivi to the clock tower. I'll be right behind you."
The wounded sharpshooter nodded as he pulled Vivi along with him. Tashigi was angered, "why aren't you going with them?!"
Luna said nothing as she appeared before Tashigi, the marine flitched. In a swift move she made Tashigi sit one the ground, before grabbing her injured leg. Tashigi yelled out as her marines became defensive.
"Hey! We're Helping You Here! How Dare You Hurt Sergent Major Tashigi?!"
Luna just scoffed, "she won't be much good with a broken leg." Luna pointed to a piece of wood not to far from them as she pulled out bandages, "grab that for me." Her eyes met Tashigi's, "this is going to hurt but it's necessary." She handed the swordswoman a piece of leather.
"Use this to bite down. Doubt you want to bite your tongue off. On the count of five. One, two, three..." Luna quickly forced the break to straighten. Tashigi yelled through the leather. Quickly Luna wrapped the piece of wood against the Sergent's leg.
Luna stood before holding a hand to the Sergent, a smile crossing her features. "I want you to know... what you're doing is not in vain."
Luna turned to catch up with the others.
"Wait! Why did you do that?"
Luna stopped before looking at her over shoulder, "you don't know how I got my wanted poster do you? After this looking into my 'crimes' and you'll understand."
With that Luna rush off leaving the stunned marines.
Luna arrived as Vivi yelled down that the bomb has a timer. Peti showed up to talk to Vivi. Knowing he was going to sacrifice himself Luna turned to Zoro and Sanji.
"I need to get up there." That was all she needed to say before the boys launched her up like they had done Vivi. Luna gracefully landed next to Peti shocking both Alabastans.
"I can help you. This will also help catch the attention we needed."
Peti shook his head before speaking, "I can't ask you to do tha-"
"You're not asking, and I'm not giving you a choice. I'm helping you." Luna held out her arm surrounding the bomb with water before climbing on to the man's back.
"Let's go. We don't have time to dally."
The bird devil fruit user just sighed in defeat as he flew up. Luna leaned down to the man's ear, "once we get up high enough I'm going to launch it into the sky. I need you to immediately dive to the ground this thing has a 5 kilometer radius."
Peti nodded and once they made the ascent, Luna reeled back in a throwing motion. As it passed them the bomb started detonation, Luna's eyes widen as she completed the throw, "NOW PETI!"
Peti tried to quickly turn but it was too late, Luna felt the explosions fire on her back. Her eyes turned pure white and the two were covered in a shield of water, as they fell. Even that was unable to stop the heat as the water boiled before turning to stream.
Luna felt the fire reach her back before pushing Peti away from her and the explosion. She only saw the ground coming closer as she began to see black.
"PLEASE... STOP FIGHTING!"
"Shit!"
Luna lost consciousness as Zoro quickly caught her Peti was no were in sight. The swordsman called to the doctor. "Chopper!"
The little doctor raced over to the two as Vivi yelled for her people to stop fighting. As Chopper worked on the unconscious woman, an loud earthquake sounded. The others focus looked to the sound only to see a body flying in the air.
"Is that... CROCODILE?!" Usopp cried in shock.
It was indeed the Warlord in question. Vivi continued to cry to her people, "don't... shed anymore blood..." She fell to her knees and screamed.
"STOP FIGHTING!"
Nami looked up in sorrow at the princess when something hit her... a raindrop. As the rain hit the fighting armies they stopped one by one. The people were yelling back a Vivi about the king 'attacking' Nanohana, and Koza was shot by the 'royal army.'
"Drop your weapons! Royal Army!"
"Ma-Ma-Ma... you too, Rebel Army!"
The Straw Hat crew decided that they needed to get Luna away and to find Luffy. They made their way towards where Crocodile was launched from the ground. Luna was on Zoro's back, as they rounded a corner they met King Cobra with Luffy in a similar position as his sister.
"Who are you?" He demanded.
"Ah... Thanks for carrying that guy on your back," Sanji said awkwardly, rubbing his head. "He's one of ours. I'll take him now."
"Then you're the pirates who brought Vivi back to this country? Wait that's... " he trailed off noticing the unconscious Luna.
"Eh... Who are you?" Sanji asked defensively.
"Daddy! Everyone!" Yelled the arriving Vivi.
"Daddy...? VIVI-CHAN'S FATHER?!" Yelled the chef.
"Are you the King?" Zoro asked shifting Luna slightly.
"I prepared myself to die at one point, but he saved me... When his body was exhausted after the fight with Crocodile, he carried two people and rushed above ground." Explained the King. "What incredible strength..."
"Then there's no more need to worry about the poison?" Usopp questioned.
"Right. It should be neutralized by now. But his injuries need to be treated... Yours too." Cobra smiled.
"More importantly, Vivi, go already. Go back to the Square." Zoro told the princess.
"Of course! The rebellion has finally stopped. It wouldn't be proper if the king and princess didn't say a few words." The snipered chuckled.
"Yes... then I'll tell them about you, too." Vivi nodded.
"Vivi-chan. You know how it is... We're notorious. We have no intention of getting involved with a country." Sanji told her.
"We're going on ahead to the palace. I'm exhausted. And could really use a shower." Nami commented.
Vivi nodded as she and her father returned to the Square. After they left everyone fell to the ground their exhaustion catching up to them.
