(Safe Shelter)

Iza put Sumi down on top of a bunk bed so he could rest. Iza then turned towards the Mask Seller.

"Could you please keep an eye on him for me please." Iza said putting the Sketchbook down on a nearby table

"Of Course Iza, anything you need, where are you going, you should stay put Agua Laguna is coming soon." The Mask Seller said

"I need to go back to Galley-La." Iza said


(Galley-La)

Inside the Galley-La Mansion Lucci and his Pigeon Hattori, Kaku, Komo, Lulu, Tilestone, and Paulie were sitting on chairs, standing guard in front of Iceburgs Door.

"Theres no way any of them will get past us." Tilestone said with confidence.

As they sat there the door to Iceburgs door opened with Kalifa walking out.

"Paulie, Iceburg wishes to talk to you." Kalifa said adjusting her glasses

"Me?" Paulie said

"Yes Just you, I'll be in the secretary Office, So if anything happens call me" Kalifa said walking away

"Thatssss Weird, Wanting to have a one one talk at a time like thissss." Komo said

"I wonder what it could be?" Kaku said

"Beats me." Paulie said

"A Will Perhaps!?" Tilestone said

The five of them then Punched Tilestone in the face.

"Well you better get in there and talk to him it must be important." Lulu said

"Yeah." Paulie said

"Should we stay away from the door a little bit." Lulu said

"it would make senssse." Komo said getting up

"Alright, I'll be back you guys." Paulie said getting up from his chair and going in, shutting the door behind him while the five of them walked a bit away from the door

"I wonder what there talking about?" Tilestone said

"If its from Iceburg it should be important." Lulu said

"It doesssn't really matter to usss, our main focussss is to lookout for thossse piratesss" Komo said

"Yeah your right." Lulu said

"Coo, Coo we managed to count at least 8 Crew members, Captain Straw Hat Luffy, Vandalizer Cray Ola, Pirate Hunter Zoro and Nico Robin, the rest of them were still trying to find the names of, coo coo." Hattori said

"Theres also Woman and that Long nose man as well from the shipyard" Kaku said

"I don't care if they have 100 members I'll take down every last one of them!, Ahhhh!" Tilestone yelled

Paulie then exited out of Iceburgs Room.

"Paulie? is everything okay?" Lulu said

"Yeah everything's fine, theirs something that I need to go and do really quick, could you guys hold it down the fort here till I get back?" Paulie said

"Sure Paulie not a problem." Komo said

"Yeah you can count on us!" Tilestone yelled

"Thanks." Paulie said

"Hey Paulie before you go, can I have sssssmoke." Komo said

"Sure." Paulie said tossing him a cigar and walking away.

As Paulie was walking down the hall he made sure that nobody saw him as he entered Iceburgs Office and closed the door behind him. he then Moved the main desk out of the way and moved the carpet that hiding away a safe.

"This must be it." Paulie said kneeling towards the safe

"Now...6...4...7." Paulie said putting the safe combination in.


Iceburg then took out a Transponder snail.

"Hello?"

"Iza its me I need you to.." Iceburg said

"KABOOOM!"

there was then a huge explosion outside of the Mansion, which ended up startling Iceburg and his pet rat Tyrannosaurus as he dropped the transponder snail

"ICEBURG! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!"

"I don't know." Iceburg said picking up the transponder snail

"It sounded like a damn explosion!...I See Smoke! I'll be there as fast as I can!"

"No Iza Wai..!" Iceburg yelled

"Click"

Tilestone then Barged through the door

Iceburg Are you okay did you hear that Explosion!" Tilestone yelled

"Yes I did, but it only startled me I'm fine." Iceburg said petting Tyrannosaurus

"THEIRS A PERSON WITH A MASK RUNNING THROUGH HERE" A Man across the hall yelled

"Ahh I'll take care of that Bastard!" Tilestone yelled giving chase along with Lulu leaving Kaku, Lucci, and Komo to stay by the door.


(Outside of the Galley La Mansion, on a Large tree)

"WOAH!" Chopper screamed looking through his Binoculars as all of them heard the loud explosion

"What the hell was that!?" Cray yelled looking out seeing smoke

"It seems that all hell is starting to break loose now. "Zoro said

"All of the Craftsmen are in a frenzy." Chopper said

"Well Luffy should we head in there soon?" Cray said turning towards where Luffy was sitting at.

"Luffy?" Crayi said

as he looked he noticed that Luffy was not there anymore, just before Zoro, Chopper, and Nami noticed to

"LUFFY!?" They all yelled


(Earlier)

(The Streets of Water 7)

Iza Started to run as fast as she could back to the Galley-La Mansion and as she got closer she could see and smell the smoke rising higher into the air. As Iza made it to the back Gate. Iza quickly opened it and as she headed in she noticed the the countless bodies laying around much to Izas horror and loud commotion coming from different sides of the large building. Iza went to one of the bodies hoping that one of them was at least breathing.

"Come on, please be alive." Iza said turning over the body of one of the shipwrights and as she did she noticed his eyes started too flutter open.

"Iza? is that you?" the man said

"Yeah, Whats going on?" Iza said

"(Cough) I was just standing guard with the others, when suddenly this huge Explosion came out of nowhere on the other side of the mansion, me and a group went to investigate on what was going on, and once we came to the source of the explosion we saw two cloaked figures taking down guys like it was nothing.(Cough) Cough)...The last thing I can remember was seeing arms sprouting out of my body and then everything went black." The man said still in pain.

Iza could then hear Gunshots and screaming coming from inside the mansion.

"And it seems they made it inside." The man said

"I'm heading in there." Iza said

" No you can't it's to dangerous." the man said

"I Know that...(Sigh) I'm gonna try to find another way (Sigh). can you stand?" Iza said

"Yeah." The man said picking himself up.

"Well make yourself useful and check on the rest of these men, and then find someplace safe." Iza said running off.


Everything was in Chaos outside of the mansion not only was Nico Robin and the bear masked man taking down Foremen left and right, another Masked person Carrying a Thorn Whip was also taking out Craftsmen left and right.


(Later)

"2...3." Paulie said as he heard a click of the safe

As he opened it he noticed a Document that was tied in a bundle.

"This must be it." Paulie said reaching in the safe and taking out the documents.

As soon as he did he then noticed the Door to Iceburgs office suddenly open. Paulie turned around and noticed three cloaked figure wearing masks standing by the entrance, one of them was wearing a bull mask the other a skeleton and the other one a Crow.

"So that is what Mr. Iceburg has been hiding huh?..Hand it over.." The bull mask person said

"Who are you bastards, Where do you come from?" Paulie said

"We come from the shadows, but all you need to know is that we stand for justice...Were Cipher Pol no.9 an undercover intelligence agency." The Bull mask men said

"Well where ever you came from you sure as hell didn't make it here without coming across the Galley-La Craftsmen." Paulie said keeping his grip tight on the documents.

"Perhaps we did.." The Bullmask man said

Paulie then took a closer look at the mans hand which was dripping with blood

the details are all very hazy, a sea of fist and bodies. whats important is that were here now." The Bull mask man said

"I get it this isn't some typical assassination plot is it?" Paulie said

"Very astute, but then again we never claimed that it was did we? in any case we need what Iceburg was hiding, the Documents...now, and since you've been aware of its existence we need to take you out as well, Iceburg trusting you with this task he's just signed your death warrant." The Bullmask man said cracking his knuckles

Paulie then thought back at what Iceburg said

"Remember, If you run into trouble, you run, Understand?" Iceburg said

"Sorry Iceburg." Paulie said clenching his fist tight ready to fight.

Paulie then quickly tried to run towards them.

"Finger Pistol." The Bull masked man said

Paulie then felt fingers piercing his entire body. Paulie coughed out blood as he fell to the ground as the masked man picked up the document

"I should've known better...this was all my idea. Iceburg didn't tell me to fight..he told me to run and leave the blueprints behind...You wanna know why?" Paulie said

The bull masked man opened the Documents.

"Because there nothing but fakes." Paulie said

"What?" the three of them said

"What a waste of time." the bull masked man said

"I don't know who you are, but this means your plans a bust right? Sucks to be you, funny thing is I had no idea what you guys are looking for in the first place." Paulie said

"If you think you outwitted CP9 your wrong, your merely delaying the inevitable at any rate even though your only a decoy snow that you know the truth we can;t let you live." the bull masked man said

There was then a huge crash right behind them

"OH MAN STUPID WALL!"

"Straw Hat?" Paulie said


(Earlier)

(Zoro, Cray, Nami and Chopper)

the Four of them were running on the outside of the mansion trying to figure out a safe way to make it inside.

"I can't believe Luffy just ran off without even coming up with a plan with us first!" Nami yelled

"Are you "really" that surprised that Luffy just went off on his own with no plan?, Its not like this is the first time he's done this." Cray said

"Might as well just call it routine at this point." Zoro said

"Yeah but depending on how you look at it we've lucked out." Nami said

What do you mean by that?"" Cray said

Think about it, When Luffy marches into enemy territory, you think he would go to the back or the side?" Nami said

"Not a chance." Cray Zoro and Chopper said in Unison.

" Right and I bet by now he's marched in from the front by either jumping or running, and now he's getting chased around with no Idea where to go." Nami said

"What are you getting at?" Zoro said

"Don't get it? In the shipwrights perspective Luffy is the ringleader of the culprit group, I bet once he jumps in Everyone's attention will go to him, leaving us a good opening for us to get into the Mansion." Nami said

"I see, So the best time to head inside is now!" Zoro said

"So does that mean its safe to jump in now?" Chopper said

"I could see the gate you guys! Its now or never" Cray yelled

"All right! everybody ready?!" Nami yelled

The Four of them then jumped as high as the could over the Gate, but as soon as they landed and looked up they noticed the entire field was filled with craftsmen armed to the teeth

"THIS WAS A BAD IDEA!" The Four of them yelled

"ITS THEM THATS PIRATE HUNTER ZORO AND VANDALIZER CRAY OLA!"

" OPEN FIRE!"

The Shipwrights then fired there guns toward them As they all started to run away dodging the bullets that flew past them.

"WHAT THE HELL I THOUGHT LUFFY WAS COMING STRAIGHT HERE WHERE IS HE!?" Cray yelled

"This is not Good at all!" Nami yelled

"AHHHHH!" Chopper screamed in fear.

"If we go on the offensive we should be able to get in." Zoro said

Zoro then stopped his running and turned toward the shipwrights.

"Zoro what are you doing!?" Nami yelled

"Running around won't get us nowhere, We'll just march straight in and find robin that way. " Zoro said

"But There not our enemy Zoro you can't just take em out!" Cray yelled

"Don't worry I'll just use the back of my swords." Zoro said running towards the Shipwright

"OUT OF OUR WAY!" Zoro yelled hitting every shipwright in his path

"YOU CAN STILL KILL THEM THAT WAY YOU KNOW!?" The three of them yelled


(Earlier)

(Iza)

Iza continued on running to the other side of the mansion.

"Okay...I think should be able to get to the third floor from here...Oh man." Iza said looking up.

Iza then took a few steps back as she faced one of the Columns holding the first level roof up. Iza then sprinted towards the column and Quickly tried to run up it so that she could reach up to the roof and just before she lost her footing she Quickly stretched her arm towards the roof as far she could and barely managed to grip her hand onto it. Iza quickly gripped it with her other hand as she was dangling nearly 20 feet off the ground. she then lifted her body up onto the top of the roof. Iza then peeked through one of the windows, and as she did she noticed foremen Running around everywhere and as she looked longer she noticed Masked Figures that the man she checked earlier was talking about.

"OPEN FIRE DON'T LET THEM GET TO ICEBURG!" A Craftsman yelled

It didn't take long for the mask figures to take down all 15 of them.

"Shit." Iza said to herself backing away from the window

Iza then started to look around on how she was going to get up to the third floor. she then Spotted a Drainage Pipe that snaking down from the third to the second floor.

"Of course Iza, It'll be just like all those years ago, it should be a piece of cake...I'm such an Idiot." Iza said grunting and talking to herself trying to get up the Drainage Pipe.

And as she was Climbing up it she then heard a faint screaming coming from behind.

Iza then turned around and noticed a Figure heading Straight for Iceburgs Office.

AHHHHHHHHHH!" The Figure yelled as he Crashed right through the wall but only Halfway. Iza could see the the figures Legs flaying around outside

"What in the hell?" Iza said

She saw the Legs quickly go through the hole in the wall that the figure made just before there was a Blue Slash that completely sliced through the wall and breaking the windows of Iceburgs office sending glass everywhere which Shocked Iza greatly as she almost lost her grip on the Pipe.

Iza then finally climbed up towards the third level she then Quickly got off the drainage pipe and put her legs atop the tiny ledge and started to shimmy very slowly.

she then started to hear a lot of Clanging noises like something was being pinned down, she then heard Paulie screaming along with the same Clanging noises.

Iza stood her ground as she heard someone Talking.

"Its me we hit a snag in the plan everyone head to the bedroom immediately, don't shoot Iceburg yet, understand I need him alive"

The three masked men then started to walk out of the office. closing the door behind them leaving Luffy and Paulie pinned to the floor.

"Are you okay?" Paulie said

"This is nothing." Luffy said

"Thats good I guess but why did you come back here? everyone still thinks your the one who attacked Iceburg, sorry about that by the way I believe I might've jumped the gun a little." Paulie said

"Its okay we are Pirates after all, anyway the point is those weird masked guys took one of our crew and so were here to get her back." Luffy said

"Nico Robin...So your good at fighting are you? "Paulie said

"Hell yeah." Luffy said

"Then you can beat those guys Huh?" Paulie said

"You bet." Luffy said

Good we can do this thing together because I'm ready to fight." Paulie said

"Yeah?' Luffy said

"Of course I am!? You think I'm just going to let a buncha of weirdos come out of nowhere kick my ass and kill Iceburg!? Not a chance! To hell with this Secret Agent Crap...Iceburg is more then just my boss...He's my teacher he made me a shipwright...I can't let him die!" Paulie said breaking into tears

"Look at you, your a mess." Luffy said sadly

"I told you I'm ready to fight those bastard and I don't care what happens to me as long as I can save Iceburg..AHHHHH! BUT I CAN'T EVEN MOVE BECAUSE I'M STUCK TO THE FLOOR...THIIIIIIIIS SUUUUUCKS!" Paulie yelled

"YEAH I KNOW THIS SUUUUUUUCKS! AHHHHHHH!" Luffy yelled

The Both then Started to Yell in anger.

"WILL YOU GUYS STOP YELLING!" another voice yelled out

Both of them then stopped.

"What the...Whos there?" Paulie yelled unable to look ahead but instead straight up

Iza then came through the window.

"I..am never...doing that again." Iza said taking a breather.

"Iza!?" Paulie yelled

Who do you think, you idiot." Iza said looking down at him


(Later)

(Zoro, Cray, Nami and Chopper)

Zoro was now standing alone as all the shipwrights were knocked out all around him. Zoro then Sheathed his three swords.

"There, now come on lets head inside." Zoro said running inside.

Nami, Cray and Chopper then Quickly passed by the unconscious foremen stepping around or over them.

"Geez." Nami said looking down at all the unconscious bodies.


(Inside Iceburgs room)

Nico Robin along with five Cloaked figures were standing around Iceburg.

"Go Away...I got nothing to give you people." Iceburg said

"Then we have a problem, don't we?" The Bullmask said

Suddenly Hattori flew in and landed on the Bullmask mans shoulder. as the man started to remove his mask

"what does one say to a man who's marked for death?...First let be frank you really disappoint me." the man said Revealing himself to none other then Lucci.

"Lucci?" Iceburg said

The man in the skull mask then revealed himself to be Kaku along with the one wearing the Crows Mask who revealed himself to be Komo.

"This is your own fault...you should've handed over the blueprints when the government asked nicely." Kau said

"Itsssss a shame that thingssss turned out like thissss." Komo said

"Kaku? Komo?" Iceburg said

The one in the regular mask turned out to be Kalifa

"Pity I was hoping we could walk away from this story without resorting to violence." Kalifa said

"Kalifa?" Iceburg said

And the one in the bear mask revealed to be Blueno.

" Its a shame your as hard headed as your master." Blueno said

"Blueno from the bar?...does that mean..you were all with the Government...this whole time" Iceburg said

"Indeed needless to say going undercover was like second nature to us, now, since everyone is being honest with each other lets try this again...I don't have time to play games...tell me...before someone else gets hurt...where is it?...Where are the blueprints to the ancient weapon Pluton." Lucci said

There You have it Cp9 has finally revealed itself! Next one will finally be the confrontation between the Straw Hats and Cp9 for the first time, The Next Chapter I just got started, I plan on releasing it sometime next week, Thank you all. Bye For now.
