While the group left the cell Vivi and Sanji burst into the room.
"Nami-swan, Luna-swan! Your Prince is here to rescue you eh-"
The poor chef deflated once he saw the two women on the group were perfectly fine. Zoro stepped up the the older woman, "so you use a scythe?"
Luna looked at the swordsman slightly embarrassed, "yes mostly in it's staff form. Though I am able to change it's form for my needs."
While conversing a bananagator tried to attack Luna from behind before the chef happily jumped into kick the gator.
"Bad Manner Kick Course!"
This happened to be the one who swallowed the 'key,' who coughed out a wax ball. It caught the groups attention.
"W-Wax-Wax Ball!" A loud voice from inside the ball called out. "Release!" The ball split in half revealing a bony Mr. 3, who upon seeing the water at his feet fell to drink.
"W-water! It's a m-miracle!" He gasped out before drinking more, completely unaware of his surroundings.
"It's him?!" Zoro stated in disbelief.
"Three! It's three!" Luffy called pointing at the man.
"I'm alive! I thought I was dead there! That rotten Crocodile! He may have tried to get rid of me but her didn't try hard enough! The moment I was swallowed, I squeezed out the last of my power to create this Wax-Wax Ball!"
The man was still unaware of the group around him until Luna walk up to him.
"So this is the Mr. 3?" Luna called back to her crew mates as the man's eyes fell on her. He noticed the Strawhat's behind her and looked at her in confusion.
"The man who tried to hurt my little brother and crew mates?" Her voice turned cold as the water around her feet started to freeze. Mr. 3 stared in horror at the woman's darkened features focused solely on him. The frozen water trapping him in his spot unable to move.
"I-I know you! Y-you're her!" Mr. 3 cried out in fear knowing exactly who he's dealing with. A dark smirk stretched a crossed her face.
"Yes I'm exactly who you think I am, and you've done a cardinal sin in my eyes." Luna's long nailed hand closed around his head. "You.Hurt.My.Family!"
Usopp, Nami, and Vivi could only stare in horror at the beaten body of Mr. 3. Sanji had tied him up after Luna was finished with him. Zoro and Luffy went off to take out the remaining bananagators to release their built up energy.
Luffy's sudden yell caught the other's attention. Vivi face filled with horror again at the pile of bananagator that Luffy and Zoro defeated.
Vivi fell to her knees in despair, "and after I had that much trouble with one of them..."
Usopp tried to comfort her as Luna called to the pair, "Let's go this place will soon be flooded. Smoker and you can't be in here once that happens."
Before anyone could question her the wall crumbled down. A large wave fell over them all sweeping them into the lake.
Everyone made it to the shore of the lake. Luna and Zoro ended up next to the coughing marine. Zoro stopped the smoke man's weapon, "why did you save my life?"
Luna stood listening to the two men as she rang out her robe, "just following captain's orders." Zoro pushed Smoker's weapon away before sheathing his sword. "I don't think you necessarily have to thank me. It was one of his whims. Pay it no mind."
Smoker's eyes moved from Zoro to the sprawled out Luffy, then back to Zoro.
"Then, you'd have no gripes with me carrying out my duties here, right?"
Sanji join the three, with a sigh and shake of his head "see? Didn't I tell you? That's what you get for saving a Marine..."
Upon Luffy jumping up he first looked for Crocodile before his eyes landed on Smkoer, "Smokey! You want some of this?!"
"Just how serious is he..?" Muttered Smoker with a sigh. "Go."
"Eh?"
"But this is the only time I'm letting you off," warned the marine. "Next time we meet, consider yourselves dead."
The voices of marines started to call out as they saw Smoker. The others started to run while Luna held back.
"What do you want Lunar Reaper?"
"Luna."
Smoker's eyes met her in confusion, "my name's Luna. Not that ridiculous name the marines came up with."
"Why haven't you ran? You're more wanted than any of them."
Luna walked up to the marine, "because you're one of the good ones."
Smoker became even more confused, "wha-"
Luna stopped him with one of his cigars, now dry. "Look inward. Don't trust everybody. And look into how I obtained my bounty."
With that said Luna raced off after her crew mates, leaving the captain there stunned.
Zoro looked at the woman as she caught up with them. "Everything alright?"
Luna just nodded at him as her eyes fell on their doctor and the large crab he was on. She boarded the crab next to Chopper, "this will help greatly. You did great Chopper."
The reindeer happily blushed from the praise, "those compliments don't make me happy."
Chopper left off the name he calls the others, Luna was different when she complimented him. The other climbed on the crab before it started towards the city. Everyone took a chance to breath, but it was cut short by Vivi's scream.
Luna cursed herself, how could she forget this part. Luffy and Luna shot up as Zoro called to Chopper, "Chopper! Stop the crab!"
"It's him!" Luffy's angry voice called out. Luffy's arm stretched out, catching the hook before flying towards Vivi. Quickly Vivi was tossed back to the crab who Sanji caught her.
"Luffy!" Luna cried out.
"That idiot!" Sanji cursed as he placed Vivi down.
"You guys go on ahead! I can handle this myself!" Luffy shouted back, being dragged to Crocodile. "Make sure you deliver Vivi back to her home! Make sure, now!"
As much as Luna didn't want to leave Luffy, he was their caption and he gave his orders. With a nodded to Zoro, the swordsman took charge.
"Go, Chopper! Keep going, to Alubarna!"
"G-got it," stammered out the doctor. "Let's go!"
"Hey Zoro, are we leaving him behind?! That's cold!" Usopp cried out.
"He will keep Crocodile under control. The moment that the rebel army started running, the time limit on this land was set. Once the royal army and the rebel army meet, this land, this Kingdom of Alabasta, will be gone." The swordsman answered. "If you are the one and only hope of preventing that, then you have to survive, no matter what." His eyes moved to Vivi. "No matter what might happen to any of us here, from now on!"
"B-but..." Vivi stammered looking back to where Luffy went.
"Vivi-Chan, this is a fight you started. You're the one who ran out of this land years ago, and challenged this unknown organization to battle. However... don't go thinking that you're fighting alone anymore." Sanji said taking a drag from his cigarette.
Vivi's eyes couldn't stop from falling on Luna. Luna's back was facing them as she stared out to where Luffy was, the swordsman nudged her. The woman's blue eyes met the princess's own, "our captain gave his orders. I have no doubt in Luffy just as I have no doubt in you, Vivi."
Vivi's eyes filled with tears at the woman's encouragement.
"Yeah! To Alubarna!"
