A.n I own nothing.

I apologise for the extremely late update, there's been a few deaths in the family, my sister broke her arm and my mother was has had to under go kemo therapy. this all happened at once and within the last 2 months. It's just been really stressful and hard to focus on writing. I do want to continue this story and will try to update when I can.

As always please Review.

Two pairs of Number agents plus Mr. 2 stood outside the city of Alubarna, they were waiting for the rebels to arrive and Princess Vivi. Miss Merry Christmas, an older woman with a red hair and a white sweater was getting impatient. They had been out there since before swan and the Rebels had yet to show up, her partner Mr.4 was a tall blond fat man who was a little on the slow side; he was looking out over the horizon with binoculars and spotted a large dust loud approaching at a rapid pace.

"Th….re…co…m…in…"Mr. 4 said but was interrupted by his partner.

"What? What is it if you see something spit it out," Miss Merry Christmas said and snatched the binoculars.

"WHAT?" she yelled out.

"Is it the rebels?" Mr. 2 asked.

"It's too early for them to be here," Mr. 1 commented.

"No it's the Spot-billed duck squad," Miss Merry Christmas said with worry.

"Alabasta's royal family's elite personal squad? Then I guess it's the Princess," Miss double finger said happily.

"Then all we have to do is kill Vivi," Mr. 1 added.

"Mr. 1 I doubt it will be that easy," Miss Merry Christmas said.

"Please how hard could it be to kill one little girl?"

The old woman handed him the binoculars and Mr. 1 looked through them; his face and confidence fell at what he saw. The Spot-billed duck squad was indeed approaching the city but riding them were six identical riders.

"Then why don't you tell me which one is the princess," Miss Merry Christmas argued back.

"We don't need to know, Mr. 4 fire," Mr. 1 ordered.

Mr. 4 pulled his bazooka off his back and fired at the now visible ducks and there riders, however all the ducks dodged the shot and by the time the bazooka shell exploded they had past the impact zone.

"So fast!" Mr. 2 commented in amazement.

"Let's just take them out here," Miss double finger suggested and got ready to fight.

"Right," the other agents agreed.

They got into fighting stances ready to attack the ducks as soon as they were close enough, but just as the ducks were coming into range they suddenly split into three groups of two; each group ran in different directions. One group went east, one group went west and one jumped straight over the top and ran into the city.

"WHAT?!" the agents yelled in shock.

"SPILT UP, DON'T LET THEM INTO THE CITY!" Mr.1 ordered, and he turned around to chase the group that had entered the city; he was followed by Miss double finger.

Mr. 2 ran west and Mr.4 and his partner chased after the group to the east.

Mr.1 and Miss double finger chased the two ducks and their riders through the back alleys of Alubarna but they were having a hard time keeping up.

"Hurry Miss double finger one of those is Vivi," Mr. 1 said.

"How can you be sure?" his partner asked.

"Think about it Vivi wants to stop the war so it makes sense that she'd go straight to the palace to do that,"

"So by entering the city she'd given herself away," Miss double finger realised.

Suddenly the two ducks stopped and the agents caught up, if they were out of breath they didn't show it.

"It's over princess," Mr. 1 said.

"Princess, I take offence to that," a male voice responded.

"And I'm no damsel in distress," a second female voice added in.

The two Baroque works eyes widened that was not Vivis voice. The riders threw off there cloaks to reveal Zoro and Nami.

"Wait if you're not Vivi than…" Miss double finger started.

"Then you've been tricked in fact Vivi wasn't even with us. Those other two groups you chased, all members of our Pirate crew," Zoro said confidently.

The same time outside Alubarna, Western ruins

"We knew you lot wanted her dead so we made sure that you would follow us. Without you guarding the gate Vivi-chawn will stop the rebels before they enter the city," Sanji claimed.

"Quick back to the gate," Miss Merry Christmas said and turned to leave.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you. We've got orders for the Royal army to stand down," Chopper said as he and Sanji both pulled out a folded piece of paper.

The Same time in Alubarna, Back alley

"These are signed by Vivi herself and have the seal of the Alabasta royal family. If you go back to the gate to stop her we'll delver this straight to whoever's in charge and no general would ever disobey an order from their countries princess," Usopp smirked.

"The only one who could disregard these orders is the king…oh wait he's not here is he?" Ace mocked.

"Basically…we win no matter what you do," Connor said.

The agents all stared at the pirates in front of them, if what they said was true than no matter what they did the war would stop but if they took the letters and then killed Vivi then nothing will have changed.

"Very well, we'll kill you first and take those orders," Mr.2 declared at the same time as the other numbered agents.

Ace, Usopp and Connor got off the ducks they were riding and the animals ran off.

"You can try," Connor said and drew his blade.

Outskirts of Alubarna

Vivi watched a safe distance away from the city; she was on Carue ready to ride as soon as the Straw hats had lured the Numbered agents away. Jacob and Evie were with her on Eyelashes, the plan had worked. Vivi and the two Assassins rode towards the city and were waiting for the rebels to arrive.

"If this doesn't work we'll have a full blown war on our hands," Jacob warned the princess.

"It'll work…it has too," Vivi claimed bravely.

"Here they come," Evie said as a large army approached the city.

Vivi spread her arms out so the Rebels would see her but just as they were coming into view, a cannon shot out from the city and landed nearby creating a sand cloud around Vivi.

"NO!" Evie shouted.

"Idiots what are they doing? Now the army won't see us," Jacob hissed "Vivi get out of here you'll be trampled,"

But Vivi was to busy yelling into the dust cloud for the rebels to stop there assault. Unfortunately Koza passed right by here without seeing or hearing her. Carue quickly tackled Vivi to the ground and used his body to shield her from the oncoming army.

The Frye wins managed to get out of the way safely and watched helplessly as the rebels invaded the city; once the dust sand cloud had cleared the twins ran over to Carues bloodied and broken from.

"VIVI!" Evie yelled and the twins ran over to Carue.

Vivi emerged from under Carue with no more than a few bruises, she cried when she saw here friends injured body.

"Vivi we need to get going," Jacob said gently.

"No I can't leave him," Vivi claimed with tears in her eyes.

Evie whistled and Eyelashes came over.

"Eyelashes can take him to get treatment but we need to move, you have a war to stop," Evie reminded her.

"VIVI!" a familiar voice cried.

The group tuned to see Usopp riding a horse in there direction.

"Usopp? What are you doing here?" Jacob asked.

"I stole this horse, now we can get Vivi to the palace faster," Usopp said and held out his hand "Get on,"

Vivi was about to take it when Evie stepped in front of her.

"How do we know you're the real Usopp?" she asked.

"Of course I'm real look," he held up his left arm and showed a bandage.

Vivis' eyes widened, she remembered the counter measure the straw hats had in place.

Flashback

On the Going Merry Vivi was explaining to the Frye twins and the straw hats Mr. 2's powers. This was after the little misunderstanding between Jacob and the Straw hats earlier in that morning.

"So this guy can Copy anyone exactly?" Sanji asked in amazement.

"Yes, body size, gender, voice and looks," Vivi confirmed.

"So how do we tell who is who?" Nami asked.

"Easy lets mark our left arms and wrap a bandage over it. That way we'll know who is friend and who is foe," Zoro suggested.

"A double bluff, the enemy could easily replicate the bandage but the true test is if they take it off or not," Evie commented impressed.

"Maybe Zoro's been replaced," Jacob commented.

"YOUR NOT OFF THE HOOK YET!" Zoro shouted at Jacob.

"I agree with Jacob, he's way too smart to be moss-head," Sanji claimed.

"YOUR DEAD COOK!" Zoro said and launched into another fight with Sanji.

"No that's him," the entire straw hat crew said together as they watched the fight.

End Flashback

"You're not Usopp!" Vivi yelled.

"Time to go," Jacob said, he grabbed Vivis arm and took off running towards the city with Evie.

"Crap how did they know?" Mr 2 said as he pulled a gun out and aimed it at Vivis back.

Jacob quickly pulled his own out and shot the gun out of Mr.2's hand, a second shot hit the horse and it died, Mr2 was stuck underneath it.

"Nice shot," Evie commented as they ran.

"Of course," Jacob smiled and put his gun away.

As soon as they approached the wall to the city Jacob wrapped his arm around Vivis waist, this caused Vivi to blush slightly; Both Jacob and Evie raised there right arms and shot out their zip lines.

"Going up," Jacob said as he and Vivi were pulled towards the top of the wall.

Vivi was amazed at how they were getting into the city, now they would bypass the fighting at the gats. She looked down to see Mr 2 running towards them.

"Top floor Civil war, Evil warlords and the Secret to world destruction," Jacob joked, once they reached the top.

"Really, now is not the time for jokes brother," Evie said and pulled her hood on.

"There's always time for jokes sister," Jacob claimed as he took his top hat off, flattened it and put it inside his robes; he then pulled his own hood on.

"But your right, it's time for us to be Assassins," Jacob finished in a deadly voice.

Vivi looked ahead, the fighting had started and it looked like that it was restricted to the outer wall but that would not last long though. Soon this war will engulf the entire city, she needed to get everyone's attention, and she needed something so big that the fighting would stop. But what would cause a big enough distraction that would distract an entire country?

"That's it!" Vivi yelled and looked to the twin Assassins "I need to get to the place,"

"To order the Royal army to surrender," Evie assumed.

"No to blow it up," Vivi said seriously.

"You know what sis, I like this princess," Jacob said "don't worry we'll get you there. Consider us your new incredibly good looking and deadly bodyguards,"

Back alley, Alubarna

Ace and Connor were running through the streets of the city, the moment they'd finished talking to Mr.2 the agent had run back to the outskirts of the City. Usopp had run off to warn Chopper and Sanji about him as their group would be the closest; he hadn't come back yet.

"Do you think Vivi made it?" Connor asked Ace concerned.

"The fighting has started so that means Vivi failed to stop the rebels at the gate. But she's inside the city and moving towards the palace know," Ace answered.

"How do you know that?"

"That's not important, what is important is we help Zoro and Nami," Ace said and stopped at a street entrance.

"Nami's down there follow that street and go left at the end. That's where she'll be," Ace instructed before running off.

Connor watched him go and ran off to find Nami, he found her leaning against a buildings wall; he was about to call to her when a spike suddenly pierced her shoulder. Nami screamed in pain and stumbled forward.

"NAMI!" Connor cried and ran towards her.

"Connor? What are you doing here?" Nami asked in surprise.

But before he could answer several spikes pierced through the wall and a section collapsed revealing very scantily dressed Miss double finger.

She looked down at both Nami and Connor.

"Well well what do we have here another target," Miss Double finger smirked.

Connor drew his blade.

"Cute," Miss Double finger said and rushed at him, she grabbed Connor by the throat and held him against the opposite wall.

Connor struggled against her grip and Miss Double finger raised her hand and pointed a finger aimed at Connors eye; it turned into a spike.

"You know you might have lived longer had you not come here, but we would have found you eventually,"

"LEAVE HIM ALONE!" Nami yelled and pulled out a new blue coloured metal staff.

"Don't worry, I'll get to you next little girl," Miss Double Finger smirked.

Connor shut his eyes excepting the Barque works agent to end his life, but instead he felt Miss double Finger lose her grip and drop him.

He opened his eyes and saw that Miss double finger thrown back across the ally and crash into a pile of boxes. Nami stood there in shock and looked at her weapon; two of the 3 small metal rod that made up her new Staff were in an X shape at the end of the staff.

"Nami…what did you do?" Connor asked getting up.

"I…I don't know," Nami said in shock, she pulled out a piece of paper and looked at it.

"No way…" Nami gasped with her eyes wide open.

"What is it?" Connor asked.

"This weapon…" She didn't get to finish because just then Miss Double finger charged at them.

"I'll skewer you for that!" she yelled, and her fingers turned into spikes.

Nami stood there frighted unable to move. Just before Miss double finger could reach her Connor jumped in the way and blocked the strike with his blade; the Numbered agents spiked fingers instantly turned back into regular fingers.

"What?" Miss Double finger asked, but she fell to her knees and found it hard to move.

Not missing an opportunity Connor swiftly kicked her in the chest, the force from the kick sent her flying backwards.

Miss double finger struggled to get back up; she stared at the pirated in front of her with anger.

"That's it, you are both dead!" she yelled and turned into a ball of spikes, rolling towards Nami and Connor.

The two pirates face paled and ran off in the other direction desperate to get away from the spiked ball of death. They jumped in a window in an abandoned house just in time; taking a second to catch their breaths.

"What is up with her? What kind of freaky devil fruit did she eat?" Nami complained.

"Nami my leg," Connor said, Nam looked at the boy's leg and saw a large gash across it; it looked deep.

Nami tore a her desert robes and used it as a make shift bandage, it wasn't the best but it would have to do until Chopper could look at it properly.

'What are we going to do? Connor can't run like this and I can't beat her on my own?' Nami thought, she looked at the piece of paper again 'unless…'

"Connor I have a plan, but I need you to hide and no matter what don't come out until I call for you," Nami said seriously.

"Okay but are you sure?" Connor asked, not likening the idea of Nami fighting alone.

"Very, just sty hidden and the moment I call for you try and stab her with your sword," Nami ordered.

Connor nodded, he looked around the abandoned house and saw some old furniture staked in the corner; with Namis help he hid behind it.

Once Connor was safety hidden from sight Nami went back and stood in the centre of the room, she broke her weapon apart and started twirling two parts in her hands. Numerous red and blue balls were released into the air.

Suddenly Miss Double finger ran in and saw Nami standing there, she charged at the navigator and sent a spike through her chest. However instead of dying Nami vanished leaving nothing but air.

"What?!" Miss double finger gasped.

"Were you looking for me?" Nami said confidently a few feet away.

Miss double finger turned and struck again but Nami faded away a second time.

"Where are you?" the numbered agent demanded.

"Right here," Nami answered and she came into view,

"Or here," another one said.

"No I'm the real one," a third claimed.

More versions of Nami came into view until the entire room was filled with them; the Baroque Works agent looked at all of them trying to determine which one was real.

"You think this little trick will stop me?" Miss double finger said and spikes extended from her body hitting each one. They all disappeared leaving one behind with a spike through her shoulder.

"So there you are," Miss double finger smirked and walked over confidently.

"Any last words?"

"Yeah just two…CONNOR NOW!" Nami cried.

Connor sprang out from his hiding place and jumped onto Miss Double fingers back, he brought his sword up and embedded it in the Numbered agents left shoulder blade. Miss double finger screamed in pain and fell to her knees as the spike in Namis shoulder instantly retracted back into Miss double fingers body; she was struggling to keep up. Connor got off her and Nami stood up.

"I predict heavy Lighting and recommend staying away from anything metal," Nami smiled dangerously.

"What do you…" Miss double finger struggled to say, she then looked up and saw a large black thunder cloud covering the entire ceiling.

Her Eyes widened as she realised what was about to happen, Nami ushered Connor out of the house and stood by the door, she broke her weapon apart and threw in a yellow ball.

The second it hit the cloud streak of lightning flashed and several powerful lightning bolts struck the hilt of Connors blade electrocuting Miss Double Finger in the process. The Baroque works assassin screamed and her body spasmed in pain from the sudden surge of electricity.

When it was over Miss double finger and varies burns and smoke was coming off her body. Nami walked over and stood above the now defeated and unconscious agent.

"On the ocean you should always listen to the Navigator and my forecasts are never wrong," Nami smiled.
