(Franky and Robin)
Sorry Guys but we need this ship to escape." Franky said after tossing the Remaining marines overboard with Robin,
Franky then looked down near the water and noticed something bubbling up to the surface.
What the hell is that?" Franky said
Suddenly Kokoro then bursted out of the water carrying the rest of the Straw Hats and Friends
"DOn;t Die on me!" Kokoro yelled jumping onto the ship
"AHHHHH!" Franky Screamed
Everything was dark as Cray slowly started to open his eyes, and the fading sound of explosions started to ring in his ears, and then as he closed his eyes again he then remembered what he saw before he semi-blacked out...Kokoro...a Mermaid. Crays eyes quickly opened again and got up coughing
"(COUGH) (COUGH)...oh god" Cray said as he coughed out water
Cray looked around and saw his friends all sitting up as well
"Is everyoe okay?" cray said to everybody
"I'm fine." Zoro said
"So am I" Sogeking said
"I'm glad your all alive!" Kokoro said
Sanji, Cray, Sogeking,a nd Zoro turned and ntoiced Kokoro in her mid mermaid form.
"AHH MERMAIDS DO EXIST!" Sogeking said
SO PEOPLE WHO TALKED ABOUT MERMAID WERE TELLIG THE TRUTH!?" Zoro yelled
"Don't be stupid, She never said she was Mermaid, Stop ruining my dreams!" Sanji said
Actually I'm a Icefish mermaid
"STOP IT! NOT ANOTHER WORD!" Sanio yelled in denail
"An Actual Mermaid...huh...ah Man." Cray said disappointed turning away.
"Why..Why, Why, Why! Mermaids are suppose to be Beautiful!,smooth white skin. beautiful, beaming flowing hair...Dammit!" Sanji yelled pounding the deck with his fist
"HOW ABOUT THANKING ME FOR SAVING YOUR LIFE!" Kokoro yelled
Thank you Kokoro' everyone said
"No Problem. "Kokoro said
"Wait...if your a mermaid,how are you able to stay on land?" Cray said
"When Ice fish mermaids hit 30 our tails fork into two and they become able to live on land...Wen you go to fishman island one day you'll see" Kokoro said
Cray then turned towards Robin who was staring at all of them, Sanji was the first one to run towards her only for her to be Tackled away by Chopper and Nami and Sanji face planting into the mast instead
"I"M SO GLAD WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE IT IN TIME!" Nami cried hugging her
"ROBIN!" Chopper screamed holding onto Nami
" Yes, all thanks to you guys, Thank you" robin said
"Don't worry about it, its what friends do" Cray said walking to her
Robin then turned towards Cray.
"What you did back in Water 7...That Hurt." Cray said trying to hold back tears
"Cray..I'm.. " Robin said
"When I saw you leaving...it reminded me back when Ally left...And I thought I was never gonna see you again...And ...and I'm..." Cray said tearing up with his head down
and when he looked up he noticed that Nami was leaving room for him in order for him to give Robin a hug to.
Cray then ran to her and hugged her.
" YOUR MY FRIEND!(SNIFFLING)...AND I'M...JUST GLAD YOUR SAFE! Cray screamed as tears started to fall down.
"I'm...Sorry...I'm sorry that I hurt you like that." Robin said
"(Sniffle)...Its okay...You don't need to apologize" Cray said as he broke the hug and wiped away his tears.
Chopper then collapsed onto the ground as he let go of nami
"Ah, Why can't I move?" Chopper said
"We'll tell you later when this over." Zoro said as he got off the ship and up the stairs
"Hey Zoro..I mean Zoro-kun were are you going? " Sogeking said following up
"Hey Wait you guys" Cray said follwoing just behind
As the three of them got up the steps they noticed out in the distance of the bombardment of Enies lobby as navy ships fired upon it endlessly.
"Its hard to belive that this the island we were on up until just a bit ago" Zoro said
"Why do they keep firing? the island is in flames?" Sogeking said
"It seems like they've been orderd not to kill Robin in their attacks" Franky said arriving up the steps as well
"That explains why there not targeting this Bridge, they hope to still capture her after there done" Cray said looking out towards Enies Lobby
"Thats Right, they'll probably engage in some close combat to get her back" Franky said
"Yeah well, I hope there ready to get there asses Kicked" Cray said
"isn;t that bad? were all Physically wrecked, And there are probably alot of crazy powerful guys on those battleships right?..wheres Luffy right now?" Sogeking said
"I see the dust of combat coming up from the top of this bridges first column over there...my guess he's still fighting that pigeon guy Rob Lucci" Franky said
"Well its not that far away we have to help!" Sogeking said
"Don't bother, the pigeon guy is no ordinary man, whats the point of if we get dragged into the fight and get seperated again?" Zoro said
"and on top of that were in no shape to fight someone of that caliber we'd just get in his way or end up getting killed and besides we need to make sure that we have our escape route secure when Luffy finishes his fight, we have to stand our ground here in case if marines start coming to try to retake Robin, we have to wait for him here" Cray said
"But..." Sogeking said
"Crays right...we'll wait for Luffy right here, Thats all we need to do...The Storm is just beggining" Zoro said
"...Understood" Sogeking said nodding
Sanji then arrived up top of the stairs
"Hey Franky what about your guys?...do you think... "Sanji said lighting a ciggerate
"Don't be an Idiot My Guys have the Luck of the Devil! I'm sure they escaped just fine!" Franky said turning towards the island with a bit of concern.
(The Front of Enies Lobby)
The Giants Oimi and Kashi along with with Franky Family, Paulie Yokozuna, The Shipwrights and Iza have finally made it to the front of the island only to be locked on by Three Large Marine battleship aiming straight at them.
"Dammit, this is not good" Zambai said
"READY THE CANNONS!" an Intercom on one of the ships yelled
Paulie then looked down and noticed something ont he ground
"What is thatt?" Pualie said jumpingoff the Giant and running towards the object
"Paulie what are you doing!?" Zambai yelled
"Its a Transponder Snail!" Paulie yelled Picking it up
"SO!?" Zambai yelled
"When can use it to find out how the Straw Hats are doing!" Paulie yelled
"FIRE!" The Intercom yelled
The three Battleships then fired there Cannons towards them
"PAULIE GET OUT OF THERE!" Iza yelled
BRO!" Zambai yelled
"BOOOM!"
(Back with the Straw Hats)
"All right the Ship is ready to set Sail, Once Luffy get here we can sail off right away!" Nami yelled out
"Okay" Zoro said
"Simply put, there are more battleships then are of us, even if we do set sail, it would be impossible for us to get through" Sanji said
"We'll figure something out" Cray said
"Attention this is a Report from the front gate in the Northwest, we've completed retrieval of Enies Lobby marines and officials, also at the front gate, we identified about fifty pirates including The Giants escaping the main island"
Thats Zambai and the Others, See I told you! they escaped the island Okay!. I wasn't worried about them at all" Franky said with a smile
"We have finished eliminating them with barrage of cannon fire...all are dead" the Announcer said
Franky Eyes went wide.
under the circumstances no one could've possibly survive on the main island, Hence the Number of survivors now on enies Lobbys main island are zero, this a report from Battleship 2, The Courthouse, the Tower of Law in the southeast of the island, as well as the underground passage connected to the bridge have all been destroyed, The only target left to attack is the Bridge of Hesitation" The Announcer said signing off
"...Dammit" cray said
"...Franky" sogeking said iin a sympathetic tone
""Those Guys" Sanj said
"Those Shipwrights" Zoro said
"And Paulie" Cray said
"Omio...Kashi" Sogeking said
"I guess Yokozuna was with them to" Kokoro said
Sodom and Gomorahh to. "Chopper said about to cry
Sumis eyes went wide as he collapsed to his knees.
"Iza...No...It can't be..." Sumi said as he bent down and started Crying
"For People to die so quickly like this" nami said
"you can't see people on the map..they just erase a small island from the world map without a shred of emotion..Thats what a Buster Call is" Robin said
Franky then walked in front of Everyone on the bridge and then yelled out
"HURRY UP STRAW HAT! YOUR FRIENDS ARE WAITING FOR YOU! DON'T YOU DARE DIE ON US!" Franky yelled
As all of them waited for Luffy they could see the countless dust and debris that was flying around in the distance where Luffy and Lucci were fighting.
"That Lucci guy is strong. if Straw hat hadn;t kept him restrained in that place, I don;t even think we would've laasted a minute" Franky said
"Thats just how Luffy is, he'll take on the strongest guy out of the bunch, but no matter what he'll always come out of it on top" Cray said
"I hope your right because we don;t have that much time...Look" franky said pointing out towards the battleships heading there way
It wasn't long before most of the battleships started to arrive towards them, the first thing that they did was destroy half of the bridge completely cutting the Straw hats off away from the Building where Luffy was fighting Lucci, they then found themselves completely surrounded by Marine battleships with dozens upon dozens of Marines ready to attack them.
"ALL SHIPS TAKE UP POSTION AROUND THE BRIDGE OF HESITATION, ON THE BRIDGE AND THE ESCORT SHIP, WE;VE IDENTIFIED TEN PIRATES INCLUDING, PIRATE HUNTER ZORO, VANDALIZER CRAY AND NICO ROBIN! IT APPEARS THERE THE MAIN FORCES THAT DEFEATED CP9 IN THE TOWER OF LAW!"
Shit looks like there here." Cray said
"There coming to take Robin again" Zoro said
"I like to see these assholes try" Cray said
"Hey you guys look over there" Sogeking said pointing at the exposed building.
All of them looked and noticed Luffy and Lucci staring each other down
"LUFFY-KUN! We're here" Sogeking yelled getting Luffys attention
'WE ALL GOT TO THE BRIDGE SAFELY! WERE OKAY" Franky yelled
"WE RESCUED ROBIN-CHAN, TOO!" Sanji Yelled
"YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT US!" Cray yelled
"ALL THATS LEFT IS TO BEAT IS TO DEFEAT HIM!" Franky yelled
DEFEAT HIM LUFFY!" Zoro yelled
"KICK HIS SORRY ASS!" Cray yelled
WE'll ALL MAKE IT THROUGH THIS...!" Sogeking yelled
"AND LEAVE THIS PLACE!" Sanji yelled
Luffy then gave them a reassuring smile and looked back at Lucci.
"Now it just matter how long we can hold them off" Zoro said looking at the battleships
"THOSE RANKED LIEUTENANT COMMANDER OR BELOW STAY PUT TO THE TWO HUNDRED ELITE CAPTAINS AND COMMANDERS! GO TAKE THEM OUT QUICKLY" A Ship intercom yelled out
"Captains from headquarters!? thats the same rank as that Smokey guy, were facing that many guys on that level!?" Sogeking yelled in disbelief
They must not be very confidant if they have to throw that amount of Captain and Commanders at us at once" Cray said
"It just proves that there scared." Zoro said
"ALL HANDS PREPARE FOR BATTLE! LETS GO!" A Captain yelled out
"YEAH!" The Marines yelled out
"Enough Talking! bring it on already!" Zoro said
Zoro then unsheathed his swords.
"We'll stand our ground here with everything we've got, everyone hold your ground until Luffy comes, at any cost!" Zoro yelled out to everyone
"Hey Guys do you know where Sanji-kun went?" Sogeking said noticing that he was gone.
"What?...Where did he go?" Cray said
"Of all the times to just vanish!" Zoro yelled in disbelief
(Back on the escape ship)
"We have to get off this ship, if they hurt it we won't be able to escape" Nami said getting out her clima tact
"I'm not getting captured again!" robin said crossing her arms
Chopper then tired to get up but to no avail
"I still can't get up" Chopper said
"Granny I'm scared" Chimney said
Nyah" Gonbe said
Sumi then looked at Chimney and Gonbe.
"Look after them at all cost"
Sumi then tightened his pawfists
"ATTACK!" A Captain yelled out
Suddenly a huge barrage of Captains and Commander jumped towards the Straw Hats. with Guns and Swords in hand
"We''ve come this far were not going to let them take her back" Franky said
"Damn Straight" Cray said
"two hundred elites from Navy headquarters...fine by me!" Zoro said
"But there are so many of them!' Sogeking said
"WEAPONS LEFT!" Franky yelled shooting out a cannon our of his left arm towards a few elites blowing them away.
"Dealing with one or two at a time is too much of a pain, attack me all at once!" Zoro yelled jumping towards some Elites
"Experience the power of Sogeking!...SUNFLOWER STAR!" Sogeking yelled shooting out a barrage of explosive pellets towards some elites.
"Heh lets see if these dogs can do more then just Bark!" Cray said as he readied Iro revolver in both arms.
IRO FANNING REVOLVER!" Cry yelled jumping out and shooting a barrage of colored fist towards some of the Elites knocking them them away, unfortunately not all of the fist hit there targets, Two elites quickly went to slash Cray with there swords, and Cray quickly Dodging over them and quickly kicking them away with his Iro Kick Move. Cray then landed back on the ground and then found himself surrounded.
"Really? you guys need to have me surrounded in order to take me out, and you call yourselves a powerful force" Cray said snickering
The Elites then went to attack him at once, Cray quickly activated Iro Whip Club
Iro Top Spin!" Cray yelled as he was rapidly spinning, knocking all of the elites away, Cray continued further by going forwards running down any elites that was in his path knocking them all away sending them flying through the air.
(The Escape ship)
"Here they come!" Nami yelled as she saw the Marines running towards there ship
she then started running towards them with her Clima tact in hand, as she ran towards them a part of her clima tact broke that was connected with a chain as she was swinging it in a circle rapidly as sparks of electricity came off of it
"SWING ARM!" Nami yelled as she swung the Electric charged ball and chain towards a group of marines completely electrifying them all knocking them out She then Quickly formed a Black cloud above the other group of marines as more ran towards her.
"DARK CLOUD TEMPO!" Nami yelled throwing an electric ball into the cloud creating thunderbolts to rain down on the oncoming Marines Btu they just kept coming as a group of marines jumped towards her.
"AHHHHHH!"
Suddenly large Paint Arm then swiped the Marines away from her, Nami looked and noticed Sumi jumping in with an angry look on his face
"YOU KILLED IZA YOU MONSTERS! I WON'T LET YOU TAKE ANYBODY ELSE AWAY FROM ME!" Sumi screamed in a blind rage as the large Paint arms came together to make a Mallet and then slamming it onto the ground near the Marines as they were sent flying in different directions.
"SUMI!?" Nami yelled surprised
Sumi turned towards Nami as tears were in his eyes.
"SUMI LOOK OUT!" Nami yelled
Sumi turned and saw two Marines ready slash Sumi with there swords, but before they could, arms then sprouted on them and was then restrained before being subdued by them. Nami turned and saw Robin crossing her arms and with an assuring smile.
"They just keep coming...Theres no end to them" Cray said kicking an elite marine away.
"We got to hold out until Luffy gets here!" Zoro yelled taking out three more Elites and then turning towards Ussop.
"Hey Sogeking what are you?..." Zoro said kind of wide eyed as he saw him looking out towards the collapsed building were Luffy and Luccis fight was going, Sogeking then took off his mask appearing as Ussop and screamed towards the Building as he saw Luffys collapsed body and Lucci looking down at him
'LUFFFFY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Ussop yelled
"Ussop? what are...you...Doing here?" Luffy said weakly
"DON'T GET THE WRONG IDEA I'M ONLY HEAR TO HELP SAVE ROBIN...HEY YOU! CP9 BOSS CAT!" Ussop yelled
Lucci just slightly glanced at him with little to no Interest.
"YEAH YOU I'M GONNA TAKE YOU DOWN! COME AND GET ME!...AND GET A LOAD OF THIS I HAVE 8000 FOLLOWERS I'M A PIRATE AMONG PRIATES A GREAT HERO OF THE SEA...CAPTAIN USSOP I THRIVE ONT HE GRANDLINE HAVE RAVAGED ISLAND AFTER ISLAND AND ANY WHO DARE FACE ME..EVEN THE MIGHTY WORLD GOVERNMENT..WILL BE CRUSHED BY THE TIP OF MY PINKY..AND IF YOU GOTTA PROBLEM WITH THAT GET UP HERE, YOU USELESS RUNT OF THE LITTER!" Ussop yelled
Lucci then had flash of anger in his eyes and then completely turned towards Ussop, and then slwoly started to walk away from Luffy
"Hey...you leave him alone...this fight is between you and me got it?" Luffy said weakly
"You've already lost, I have no more business with you..I'm going to kill every last one of them, and leave you last so you can watch it happen" Lucci said as he continued forward
"YEAH COME ON, BOSS CAT! I'LL SEND YOU FLYING!" Ussop yelled
"(Cough) SHUT UP YOU IDIOT HE'S GOING TO TO KILL YOU!" Luffy yelled weakly
"YOU SHUT UP! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT!? LYING THERE LIKE THAT!? Ussop yelled making Luffy angry
"I"M GOING TO KICK HIS ASS!" Luffy yelled weakly as he slowwly tried to pick himself up
"THEN GET UP THEN AND STOP ACTING LIKE YOU"VE GIEN UP! THAT'S NOT WHO YOU ARE, YOU CAN SEE THE SKY EVEN WHEN ITS CLOUDED BY WAR YOU CAN STILL SEE THE OCEAN...THIS ISN'T HELL! QUIT ACTING LIKE YOUR GONNA DIE DAMMIT! STOP MAKING ME WORRIED, YOU BASTARD!" Ussop yelled with tears in his eyes.
"Are you finished? You best be prepared, you scum" Lucci said to Ussop making him back up a little
"I Know..."
Lucci eyes flashed in shock as he looked behind him seeing Luffy in his Gear second stance.
"This isn't hell..Or anything like that." Luffy said
Ussop then wiped away his tears.
"KICK HIS ASS! SO WE CAN ALL LEAVE HERE TOGETHER!" Ussop yelled
"I"LL WIN NO MATTER WHAAAAAAAAAAT!" Luffy screamed as a huge amount of steam came out of him.
Cray was then breathing Heavily as he kicked away another elite marine and still more coming
"COME ON! IS THIS THE BEST YOU ASSHOLES GOT!?" Cray yelled in anger
"Cray, Cray, Cray, Do my eyes deceive me?"
Crays eyes went wide as he heard that voice
"No...no way" Cray said as he turned around and noticed the figure walking towards him, he was around his mid twenties,
"Its been a long time you little runt" the man said
"Ian?" Cray said through gritting teeth
"Who else? Men stand down I'll handle this" Ian said as he walked forward towards Cray
"You know this is quite sad...I knew you were scum, but I didn't think you would sink so low to becoming a pirate" Ian said in disgust
"Shut up...you got a lot of nerve to judge me, after everything you've done to me and Ally all those years ago...I know it was you that burned down our Hideout that day" Cray said
Ian then smirked
"You know...to be honest I did feel a little bad for doing that...but after seeing what you and that bitch became, I don't regret a thing...Its a shame you didn't die in that fire...I guess I'm going to have to take care of it " Ian said
Cray then activated Iro Revovler
"IRO FANNING REVOLVER!" Cray screamed at him, as the colored fist came flying towards him
"REFLECT!" Ian yelled as his hand was covered in glass as the Fists Bounced off of him in different direction
"What the..." Cray said
Ian then took off his coat as his entire body was then started to get covered in glass
"Rasu Rasu No mi (Glass Glass Fruit) your pathetic Color Attacks won't effect me" Ian said as he ran towards him
"Cray Just kept throwing fanning Revolver at him but everything he did his attack would just bounce off of him
"Try This...SHARD FIST!" Ian yelled as his fist developed sharp shards of glass towards Cray, which Cray quickly dodged out of the way,
"Ian Quickly turned around.
"Shard Shot!" Ian yelled as he shot out shards of glass towards Cray as they hit his back
"AAAAGH!" Cray screamed in pain as he collapsed to the ground on his knees
Ian Quickly ran towards him
"Glass Sword!" Ian yelled making a sword out of glass Ready to slash Cray.
"PRISM COATING!" Cray yelled as he Quickly activated it he quicklly rolled forward to doge the Downward sword attack, and Mid roll Cray quickly jumped back and sidekicked Ians Sword away. Cray quickly made a magenta Color in his arm
"Iro Iro No..." Cray yelled
Glass Gauntlets!" Ian yelled
" H. Carbine!" Cray yelled as his fist collided with one of Ians Gauntlets there was a good 10 second stand off as there fists collided as they both grunted but Then suddenly Ian could feel the Glass Gauntlet heating and then started to crack, the Gauntlet then shattered, ian Then Punched Cray in the face with his other Gauntlet sending Cray back a few feet
"Glass can't stand extreme heat before it cracks" Cray said with a confident smirk
"You just got lucky...TAKE THIS!" Ian yelled
(Robin, Sumi, and Nami)
"THUNDERBOLT TEMPO!" Nami yelled as another black cloud rained down Lightning on the remaining Marines that surrounded them
"Good Job Sumi and Pirate Ladies!" Chimney cheered
Sumi was breathing heavily as he collapsed to the ground still crying
"Iza...(Sniff)...Iza...I did it..I protected them as best I could" Sumi said too himself
Sumi?" Nami said with concern
"...I'm okay...I just need a minute" Sumi said as his rage was fading away
"Were okay, you two go up there and help the guys already
"Were okay so you two head up and go help the guys already!" Kokoro yelled
"Leave the Racoon dog guy to us" Chimney said
"I'm.. a Reindeer." chopper said
"Don't worry we'll make sure everything is good when you guys come back" Sumi with a slight smile.
Robin and Nami then ran up the stairs to the upper part of the bridge.
"Gah!" Cray grunted as his body was thrown back and skidding across the bridge floor. Ian had a few scars on him as well but he was still standing as he was quickly repairing the glass surrounding his body
"You Certainly got some Spirit Cray, you were always stubborn." Ian said
I can't stay in this form for long...I'm exhausted..here we go" Cray said
"RGB MODE!" Cray yelled weakly as he quickly ran towards and then Gut shotted him just before his prism coating faded away
"GAH!" Ian grunted as he was sent back
"SHARD SHOT!" Ian yelled Hitting Cray right in the leg
"AHHH!" Cray yelled as he collapsed to the holding his leg in pain, he then slowly took the medium sized shard out of his leg. he then looked and noticed Ian slowly walking towards him
"This is it, your finished." Ian said making a glass sword
"Cray then slowly looked up and then he had smile on his face
"What the hell are you smiling about?" Ian said
"Hows the Weather doing for ya?" Cray said
"What?" Ian said
"THUNDERBOLT TEMPO!"
Suddenly Ian along with the group of Marines that were surrounding them all of them then collapsed to the ground Unconscious. Cray just looked down at him with Disappointment that he wasn't able to take him down on his own but he realized he wouldn't have stood a chance given how exhausted he already was.
"CRAY ARE YOU OKAY!?" Nami yelled
"YEAH I'M FINE!" Cray yelled
"LOOK OUT!" Robin yelled
Cray quickly dodged out of the way of Marines behind him but Cray collapsed to the ground, because of his inured leg
"Seis Fluer...CLUTCH!" Robin yelled as he subdued the Marine.
Cray then felt Multiple arms helping him up.
"Thank you Robin!" Cray said
"Can you still stand?" Robin said as she gave him cover along with Nami with Elite Marines still coming
"I'll be fine...I cans till go on." Cray said as his legs started to shake as his body was about to give way
"Don't worry Cray we'll cover you." Nami said as she activated Swing arm.
"BOOOOOM!"
Suddenly everybody stopped to noticed a Huge Explosion coming from the Nearby Building that Luffy was Fighting Lucci as a huge amount of Debris and Rubble started to fall.
"WHAT GOING ON!" a Marine yelled
"Luffy." robin said
As the Smoke cleared all the Marines couldn't believe who they saw under the rubble
