Oriana went out of the water with her haki still not detecting them, "Where are you guys?" she hoped Nami and Chopper had better luck getting to… Robin. She slowly realized that the two couldn't stop the government agents never mind the train.
The worst-case scenario would be they didn't make it and have to go to the government island.
She felt like she had been searching forever. Oriana jumped onto one of the buildings' roofs but noticed the exposed seafloor along with the underwater buildings which made the island look much bigger. She knew it meant the tsunami would soon approach them.
The time was running out, so, she jumped from rooftop to rooftop, but there were still no signs of them. Oriana decided to take a moment to calm down to think more clearly and leaned against a chimney.
Oriana's eyes widened as she turned around to move a few bricks from the chimney, "Hey Zoro," she felt so relieved, "Who are you?" the swordsman asked, "What do you mean? It's me," she raised her eyebrow, "Never mind that can you help me out of here?" he asked, "Sure," she chuckled and removed the bricks around him.
Zoro fell to the side as Oriana grabbed him when something overshadowed them. The tsunami had approached them without her noticing. Zoro lifted her over his shoulder and ran away, "Oi, what are you doing?" she asked annoyed, "We don't have time for that just stay put!"
Oriana looked up at the tsunami then pulled her hair behind her ears and saw the color of her hair, 'Oh, that's why he didn't recognize me,' she thought amused as the huge wave was closing in on them Zoro ran faster. Oriana admired it because it reminded her of her father's powers.
Every enemy her captain used this attack on must have shit their pants. She'd never imagined being on the other side of the tsunami and it was both exciting and terrifying at the same time. Whitebeard has the power to destroy the world.
"Have you seen Luffy?" she asked as he landed on the stairs bridge thing. Zoro didn't hear her and just put her down. In the distance, they saw Luffy running with Nami towards them. Oriana went forward and prevented the water from hitting them.
"Let's get higher up!" She yelled when the stairs suddenly crumbled beneath them. She made sure the stairs were steady enough for them to run up before it broke down and Oriana gave them the final push.
They landed safely on the grass and took a moment to catch their breath after almost being swallowed by the tsunami. Oriana fell back laughing like a madman, "Isn't that exciting, Oria?" Luffy laughed next to her, "It's thrilling!"
"That's Oria?!" Zoro asked shocked, "Yeah, it's surprising for me too! We have been traveling together for a while and we haven't seen that form before," Nami leaned back. "I guess that's true…" Oriana scratched her head. "So, what now?" she knew their answer but wanted to hear it from them.
"We're sailing out right away and following them!" Luffy said and Zoro agreed without hesitation. They asked the shipwrights for a ship, but it was impossible for them to sail out because of the aqua laguna and they had to wait till the morning.
Nami explained that they couldn't do that since the gate of justice was located at Enies Lobby. Once Robin walked through the gate there were only two places for her to go: one, Navy headquarters, two: underwater prison Impel down.
It only motivated them to go even more and fast.
The old lady from the lighthouse told them to follow her to a sea-train but with a risk of dying included. She took the pirates to an underground layer with another design of the train. The mayor came out after fixing it for them.
Nami came down the stairs with two men pulling a big back behind them. Luffy scolded her and told her to hurry up before finding out what the bag contained and quickly apologized. Luffy and Oriana started eating the meat while offering Chopper a pineapple and Zoro drank the booze.
Suddenly footsteps approached and a group of beat-up men came in to beg them for a chance to save their boss, Franky. Nami protested but Luffy gave them his permission to get on, but they had a ride of their own and only wanted to hold on to the sea train.
The old lady started the train once everyone got on and asked Iceberg to take care of her granddaughter and pet. Luffy jumped up to the front as well as Oriana getting a much better view. They drove through the canals which was fun.
When they got outside two giants Yagaras with harpoons were fired at the back of the carriage. It surprised Oriana that those things didn't slow the train down then saw the girl and her pet barely holding on to the train.
Luffy went over to help but before he could grab them, the train got onto the railway and it flew through the water. The young captain got blown away and right into one of the Franky family members. She managed to grab the girl and bunny before helping them inside safely.
The shipwrights who suddenly showed up talked about their former co-workers being the masked people who tried to kill Iceberg. It shocked the two who weren't there and previously believed some ridiculous excuse about them going on vacation.
Everyone had a reason to be there and formed an alliance.
The tsunami got closer and closer to the point that it overshadowed them. The shipwright and bounty hunters started shooting their weapons, but it didn't do anything to the huge wave. "Hey, Luffy," Zoro looked up, "Yeah, let's go, Zoro," he said swinging his arm.
"Do you guys need help?" Oriana asked the two, "No, thanks, just relax!" Luffy smiled at her. She shouldn't be surprised that Luffy noticed how tired she was. He had always been very understanding, and insightful.
He probably didn't want her to take all the glory most of all.
"Alright, wake me up when we get to Enies Lobby," she said and laid down on one of the couches. Oriana wondered over the reason for her being so worn out and remembered that she got up early today. It didn't take long for her to fall asleep.
Oriana woke up to people yelling, "This is not the way I wanted to be woken up…" She slowly sat up, and noticed how bright everything was, "The sun is already up? How long did I sleep for?" she rubbed her eyes tiredly.
"Come and see this, Oria! The sun never sets here!" Luffy said excitedly. "Really… How annoying!" she stretched out her arms. "O-Oria-sama, is that really, Oria-sama? I can't believe it's possible for you to be even more beautiful!" Sanji danced happily around her.
She ignored him and barely heard what the others had planned when she noticed a masked man, "That's…-" she started, "That's Sogeking, Oria, isn't he cool!" Chopper looked at him with admiration, "Sure… Chopper," she smiled at him.
The old lady spoke over the speakers and told them that they'd arrived at Enies Lobby. The gate of justice were huge in the background. She also told them that the gate only opened up a little when people were getting through.
Luffy walked towards the window next to Oriana, "I'm coming too," she said and crawled out with him. She jumped onto his back as he rocketed them over to the island and on top of the building, "What the heck is this place? That's an awesome hole! It's like the island is floating!"¨
Oriana stared at every detail of the island so she could draw it later. There was no way she would miss out on the chance to draw an island so unique. While she did that, Luffy got hit by something and fell over the building and down to the other side.
She chuckled and jumped down after him. The two siblings fought side by side and knocked down the marines on the island. When they knocked one down another took his place, "We don't have time to fight them, Luffy!" she grabbed him by the shirt and blasted them up to the building by the end.
Once they got up there, the bull-looking guy came out of a door midair. The thing he did impressed Luffy and he asked if it was magic. The agent praised them for coming this deep into government territory, but it was a big crime.
"I got this, Oria, there's something I want to try!" Luffy said, "Is this payback?" Oriana asked, "No, he's just in my way!" he answered as he started attacking the CP-9 member. It started out good for Luffy, but the bull-man used his devil fruit to rotate his opponent's face.
They fought some more until Luffy suddenly stopped, "It's no good. I can't beat you like this," he smiled. He kept talking about how he had to get stronger to protect his friend and after meeting Aokiji, he came up with a way to fight at top strength.
Luffy held his knees with his lower legs and started pumping along his skin that turned red a sweating steam, "You can't keep up with me anymore. Gear second!" he put his right fist to the ground. Oriana smiled already knowing it was going to be good.
"I'm glad I ran into you here," The young captain stood straight with his left palm stretched out and his right arm back in a fist. The bull-man ran towards him at a fast speed, but Luffy punched him right in the stomach, "Jet pistol!" even faster.
Oriana looked at his new form and tried to figure out how he did that. She noticed the way his leg pumped and guessed it was a way for his heart to pump faster because of his rubber body. The red color must come from the heat the body generates and steam is the sweat that boiled from the heat.
The government agent looked shocked but was hit with another attack, then another, and another before he ran away into an air door. Once he reappeared Luffy attacked him with a jet bazooka. He didn't fall so Luffy put his thump into his mouth, "Watch this. Gear-" but he passed out.
Oriana went over to Luffy who was mumbling something to himself, "That's awesome!" she hugged him, "Thanks," he smiled, "There's another gear?" she wondered when he had the time to come up with them, "Yeah, gear third!" he said proudly.
Luffy jumped up to one of the supporters, "ROBIN! I'VE COME TO GET YOU!" he yelled to make sure she heard him. When she didn't respond he heard his stomach growling and took out something to eat from his pants pockets.
Oriana went up next to him and took his hand to get a bite from his meat, "I'm not sharing, Oria!" he pulled his arm back, "Don't be greedy, just one bite!" she said, 'One big bite' she thought. Luffy frowned but let her, "Only a small one!"
She took a big bite and heard the way he complained, "You not getting more!" he pouted, and Oriana just laughed, "What are you going to do… eat it all?" Luffy put both pieces of meat into his mouth and chomped on it, "I guess you are,".
While the two stood there, something was happening up at the tallest tower. Franky and Robin were over there, "Robin! I'm glad you are still there!" Luffy yelled happily. He stretched his hand back ready to get to her, "Wait! How many times must I tell you? Go home, I don't want to see your face anymore! Why did you come to save me? I didn't ask you to come! I just want to die!" Robin yelled.
Luffy picked his nose, "What are you talking about? Hey, Robin! We are already here… all of us! We're going to save you and if you still want to die then do it later!" he said as the other crewmates showed up. In the meantime, the Franky family was working on lowering the bridge for them to the other side.
Meanwhile, the CP-9 agents appeared next to Robin but this time there were more members. The man with the metal mask laughed and told them about the golden den-den mushi to summon a buster call just like they did to Robin's home island, Ohara.
Robin started to freak out and told him not to do it and it's not what he thought before she fell down.
She told them that Buster call killed the people she loved and was afraid of the same fate being on them, the friends she found. Robin was most afraid of them betraying her because they couldn't take the burden of having her with them anymore.
The masked man laughed and pointed to the flag of a hundred and seventy countries affiliated with the organization after this woman. Luffy remained calm, "I totally get who Robin's enemy is. Sogeking… Shoot down that flag,"
"Roger," he took his weapon and shot a fire at the flag knowing full well what it meant.
"Are you crazy? Do you really think you can survive now that the whole world is your enemy?!" the leader yelled, "Bring it on!" Luffy snapped back with no hesitation, "Robin! I still haven't heard it from you! Say you want to live!" he screamed.
Robin seemed conflicted as if it never had been a thought before she said, "I want to live! Take me out to sea with you!" those words made them smile and ready for a fight, "Let's go. We'll save you for sure!" Luffy yelled. The bridge was lowered but stopped halfway.
The masked man tried to take Robin away when Franky took something out of his body and showed it to the agents, "That can't be! That's the blueprint of the ancient weapon Pluton?" he had a hard time believing it. "Oh, it's the real thing. Lucci, Kaku you guys should be able to tell!" he showed some of the pages.
"Nico Robin, I know now that you're not a demon with evil plans to use the weapon. This thing was passed down through the generation of shipwrights and isn't just the blueprint to make the weapon. Do you hear that Spandam? The reason Tom-san and Iceberg would give their lives to protect this was simple!" Franky said and told them that it was a counter if the real one got revived.
Robin was a dangerous woman who could get the weapon back into the world, but she had friends who would protect her, and Franky was going to wager on them before burning the blueprints right in front of them.
The whole situation was chaotic but suddenly Spandam pushed Franky out of the building. The old lady steered the sea-train through the building. Luffy smiled and stretched his arms out to hold on to everyone before jumping off the building himself and landing on the train.
The bridge worked as a ramp, as they flew over the waterfall and crashed into the tower of Law and Franky. Everyone had minimal damage when one of the CP-9 agents appeared while clinging to the corners of the wall.
Oriana smiled; she was sure this incident would be all over the news tomorrow. She wondered if her bounty would grow and she couldn't wait to tell her crew that she wasn't the cause of this, "Guys, I'll be right back!" she ran to the side and called her crew.
"Gotha, hello?" Haruta answered, "Is dad close to you?" she quickly asked, "Yeah, what's wrong?" he sounded worried. "I'm about to do something big and I want to get Dad's permission, hurry!" Oriana said as the small crew turned to her.
"Okay," Haruta sounded unsure, "Hello?" a much deeper voice answered, "Dad, I'm about to invade Enies Lobby and-" Whitebeard interrupted her, "We're on our way to get you, treasure," Oriana smiled, "I'm sorry, there's one thing I need to do to save a new friend,"
"Alright but hurry up. I want to see my daughter again, Gurarara," Whitebeard laughed, "I want to see you too, dad! I promise I'll be fast!" she smiled lovingly. The two ended the call and Oriana went back to the small crew, "Guys, I got permission from the big boss!"
They chuckled, "Whitebeard don't mind you fighting with us?" Chopper asked innocently, "Not at all, he told us to run wild as we want under his name and I thought he deserved a heads up for something this big!" she smiled fondly. "Whitebeard!" the ones who didn't know yelled. She just shrugged it off and got ready for the battle.
Luffy went after the pigeon guy while everyone else split up to look for the other agents to get their keys.
She remembered the reason for coming here as she put her things back in her bag. She ran around the building looking for people to fight. She still hadn't found anyone to fight. Oriana ran past Franky fighting the big round man and Chopper watching him amused.
She met Sanji who looked weird, "What is that?" she poked his head, "It feels smooth…" she whopped her fingers together, "I let my guard down… Nami-san is up there to make it right," Sanji said shamefully, "Right… I'll leave her to it!" she said before running off.
Oriana went up some stairs and saw a window with a view of the entire island. She had a mental debate about whether or not she had time to quickly make a sketch of the island.
If she didn't do it now, she might not get another chance like this. Oriana got her book out of her bag and started drawing, "Five minutes," she whispered to herself. She used her limited time very cautiously to get the details right.
The five minutes might be up, or it might not be because Oriana didn't have a good sense of time when drawing. Loud sounds got her out of her zone with fighting between Zoro and a giraffe after falling through the loft down to a place with a wolf and Usopp.
Buster Call had been alerted and Robin warned them to leave the island.
Oriana decided that the crew had control of defeating the agents and went in the direction of the gates of justice. She realized that she hadn't done anything yet. When she ran past a window, she looked out to see the gate fully open.
She ran into Nami along with the monster granny carrying Chopper, her granddaughter and pet. They were on their way to where Robin was and went through an underground tunnel. At some point, water started flooding the narrow path.
Everyone turned around to run but Oriana questioned the navigator's reason. They'd known each other for a while now and wondered how she could forget her powers, "Oi, run!" the old lady yelled but Oriana just lifted her hand up and the water stopped.
"Oh, right!" Nami finally said happily as the others approached. Oriana started pushing the water back while she walked forward. When they came to a big door, footsteps were quickly closing in on them which turned out to be Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp.
"Oria-sama! Nami-san!" Sanji yelled with hearty eyes. "We don't have time for that, Sanji-kun! We have to hurry to where Robin is!" Nami yelled at him. "I can get us there faster," the old woman said before jumping into the water and turning her legs into a long tail which made it hard to see what she was.
She told Oriana to lower the water and out of curiosity she did. In a few seconds, everything was flooded, and the old woman grabbed the cloth used to carry Usopp and swam forward. Everyone almost drowned in shock after seeing her, "A j-j-jugon!"
Kororo got them out, "Don't die on me!" she jumped out of the water and landed on one of the warships. They gasped for air as Usopp and Zoro questioned the existence of mermaids, but Sanji refused to believe it until she confirmed it. Once the old lady did, she explained that elder mermaids would get legs to live on land.
Their attention changed to Robin as most of her crewmates went to greet her. Meanwhile, Zoro, Oriana, and later Usopp went up to the bridge of hesitation wondering why they weren't being targeted by the buster call.
Franky explained that they wanted to capture Nico Robin alive and would most likely come after destroying Enies Lobby. The pirates wanted to escape while the Marines focused on something else, but Luffy was still fighting Lucci. As soon as he won, they would leave.
While waiting Oriana decided to fill out the details of the island.
"Oi, Oria, the warships are turning to us," Zoro said calmly. The pirates took their positions ready to defend Robin from the Marines. Everyone went over to the edge of the bridge and told Luffy not to worry about them and to just beat him so they could leave together.
The ships were towering over them and announced that they would recapture Robin when Sanji suddenly went missing. None of them had time to think about him as the soldiers attacked them, "Hold on till Luffy gets here!" Zoro said.
Oriana had no trouble with the Marines and instead used the time to cut the ships in half before jumping up to one of the warships to defeat the vice-admirals. She came face to face with the admiral wearing a helmet, "Why is a high-ranked pirate doing with Straw-hat, Winter Blaze?"
"None of your business, marine!" she said before dodging the bullet being shot at her. Oriana turned to the underlings that tried to hit her and blew them into the distance, "The grown-ups are fighting," she glared at the rest that cowered away.
She went over to the vice-admiral ready to kick him but suddenly six arms sprouted from his back and blocked her attack. Oriana jumped back leaning her head to the side, "Interesting…" she said before shooting a water cannon at him.
He flew back against a wall and struggled to rise to his feet but before that could happen, she kicked him in the direction of the island. "Luffy!" she heard it come from the bridge and quickly jumped down to Usopp yelling with his mask.
He provoked the young captain by telling him that he could fight Lucci and that the only way for him to stop was by getting up to defeat him himself. Luffy got up and in very little time knocked Lucci out and onto one of the ships. He fell down on his back, "Let's go back together, Robin!" Luffy yelled.
"Calling all the ships. The pirate Straw-hat Luffy has defeated CP9's Rob Lucci!" a marine announced in disbelief.
