" It's good… mah-mah-maah. " Said Igarappoi, while leaving the house where Luffy and the others were sleeping. " They all fell asleep. "
" Splendid work, Igarappoi. " Said Mister 9, while sitting on the roof of a house. "Where should I say Mister 8. "
Leaving the roof, at the same time as him, Miss Wednesday wanted to know.
" What are we going to do with them now? "
" Deliver them to the Navy, of course. " Assured Mister 8. " After all, we can make a nice little fortune with their heads. "
" Are you sure about that ? " Asked Miss Monday, arriving in turn. " I mean, we were already in shortage of food before this "party" and that's without taking into account the fact that these two incapacitated missed their last mission. "
" Hey, we did our best. " Mister 9 replied. " If these fools hadn't gotten involved, we would have come back with this whale meat. "
" It does not matter. " Suddenly assured Igarappoi, looking at some research posters. " Ironically, the failure of your mission allowed you to bring us something even more fabulous than the meat of this damn whale. "
Presenting the posters of research by Luffy, Raynare and Gin, he said.
" Yes ! We have a nice sum of over fifty million berrys there. "
" Fifty million? " The trio were surprised in front of him, while looking at the three papers. " Thirty million for Mugiwara ? "
" If we want to have this bonus in its entirety, we must capture her alive and then deliver him to the Navy ! I don't care if we have to kill the others ! At least we have to capture the two wanted men and find that damn woman ! She has a bounty nine million ! It's not nothing. "
Nevertheless, a sinister tone taught them.
" I think you'd better let them sleep in peace. "
" Uh ? " Started the quartet, before turning around.
Immediately, they could see a figure sitting quietly on a roof, with a saber in hand.
" But how … ? " Mister 8 wondered, recognizing Zoro.
" Mister 8! The green haired guy is gone. " A man taught him, before arriving with most of the villagers.
Then seeing Zoro, each of them hastened to get out of the guns or sabers, showing in an instant their real faces.
" A group of bounty hunters. " Understood Zoro. " You trap new pirate crews and rob them of their treasures ! This is how you do it ! Isn't it…, Baroque Works? "
Immediately, everyone in front of him opened their eyes to the name.
" How do you know this name ? "
" A short time ago, you has offered me a place in your organization ! But I refused ! From what I understand, the high ranking officers of this organization have code names and blindly obey a type whose identity is unknown to them ! It's not my thing ! I work solo and for my own account. "
" Oh ? " Suddenly said Raynare's voice.
Descending from the sky, the fallen angel ends up sitting on another roof, while affirming.
" I see, everything is clear now. "
" Where did you go ? "
" I just visited the cemetery on this island. " She said, while fixing the bounty hunters. " So these guys were planning on capturing me to deliver me to the Navy? Tsss, they really want to play with death. "
" Stay where you are. " Zoro ordered her, getting up. " They are mine. "
" Huh ? " Raynare wondered. " No way ! Me too, I intend to let off some steam ! I hate being taken for an idiot. "
" Band of idiots ! " Shouted Mister 8. " Even you two have no chance against us! Guys, try to capture this living woman without kill her ! As for the other, I think it will be necessary to prepare a new grave for him. "
Directly pointing their guns forward, each of the pirate hunters began to smile cruelly. However, that smile disappeared the moment Zoro's figure was not found. He had disappeared so quickly that even Raynare was surprised, while she just stood there staring at the group.
" Where is he ? "
" Where did this guy go? "
Suddenly, a man started to back away while shouting, while he saw Zoro, right in the middle of the crowd.
" But how … ? "
" Hello ! " Said the pirate simply, with a confident smile.
Immediately, surrounding him, dozens of people pointed their weapons at him, ready to pierce him like a piece of Swiss cheese. Seeing them do so, Zoro remained motionless, until he heard the sound of the first detonation. Having then only to bend down at the last second, he felt the bullets pass over his head, before touching the bodies of snipers, which collapsed immediately on the ground. Then, taking advantage of the general surprise, he disappeared again.
" What a bunch of fools. "Roar Mister 8, seeing the men on the ground. " They killed each other. "
" Oi, guys ! " Suddenly called them Raynare. " You are one hundred and he is all alone ! Come on, a little motivation, damn it. "
" Shut up! " Roared a man, pointing his two revolvers towards her.
" No. " Wanted to stop him Mister 8.
Too late. Pulling, the man threw two bullets at Raynare. However, looking bored, the fallen angel only had to reach out in front of her to create a magic shield, which stopped the balls without the slightest problem.
" What? Impossi… "
A spear pierced the man's chest, causing him to spit blood, before collapsing to the ground.
"Who is this woman? " Afraid Mister 9.
" If I can give you some advice, don't consider us. " Said Raynare, while showing a cold look. " Compared to Luffy and the others, Zoro and I are more willing to slaughter people who try to kill us. "
" Bitch. " Insulted Mister 8, pretending to take a step towards her.
It was then that a saber passed through his hair, immobilizing him.
" Mister 8. " Frightened Miss Wednesday, seeing Zoro leaning against the man's back.
" I have a question for you ! In your opinion, after the massacre that night, will one grave be enough ? "
" He's there. " Exclaimed a man, putting Zoro at stake.
Seeing two other people imitate him, Mister 8 took fright, while he knew perfectly well that Zoro would have no trouble avoiding the bullets again.
" No, don't do that ! You will shoot me. "
However, seeing them about to shoot, the man immediately put his saxophone in his mouth and leaned back, before blowing into it.
" IGARAPPA ! "
Like a submachine gun, the musical instrument spat out several bullets which forced Zoro to flee to avoid them. Less reactive than him, the shooters behind Mister 8 were hit by bullets, and fell in turn.
" Where is he ? " Wanted to know Mister 8 by looking around. " Where is this guy ? "
" Mister 8, the girl has disappeared. " A man told him, seeing that Raynare was no longer there.
" What ? Damn it! These guys are way too dangerous! Kill them, both of you. "
Leaning against a wall, Zoro caught his breath as he said.
" I was hot. "
" Lamentable! " Raynare giggled, standing in front of him. " You should be ashamed of Zoro for running away like this. "
" Shut up ! His machine gun surprised me. "
Raising her shoulders, while smiling conceitedly, Raynare said.
" You use your brute force too much instead of your brain, stupid gorilla ! See and admire rather the power of a superior being. "
Getting ready to leave, Raynare froze when Zoro questioned him.
" Have you really eaten a demon fruit ? "
" Hum ? " Raynare said, turning around.
" I saw you. " Assured Zoro. " I saw you swim yesterday! How did you do it ? "
Simply stretching out her smile, Raynare simply says.
" It's because I'm powerful. "
And before Zoro could add anything, he saw Raynare spread her four wings before flying away.
Hearing lots of voices and gunshots outside, Lucy remained half hidden while looking outside through a window.
"From what is going on, Zoro and Raynare have decided to have an explanation with these guys."
Then turning around, she sighed when she saw the rest of the boys and Menma sleeping in the room.
" What should I do with them ? "
" Leave them. " Nami advised her, while she searched the members of the house, looking for something interesting to find. " Zoro and Raynare are not going to take long to get rid of these guys ! So, once done, we will only have to wait for the complete loading of the log-pose, before leaving here! And, between us, fortunately the girls are there to ensure ! Otherwise, I wonder what they would do without us. "
" Stop overestimating yourself. "
Then getting up, Gin cracked his neck while yawning.
" Gin ? " Lucy wondered.
" If they think that a little alcohol will defeat a man like me, they are wrong. " Giggles the man, standing up. " Where's the fight ? "
" Stay here. " Nami ordered him. " If someone comes there, someone has to defend us. "
" What next ? You only have to defend yourself ! And then, the blonde will only have to invoke her mermaid or her cow to defend you! And then, what are you looking for ? "
" The treasures of this city, of course. "
" Pffft, given the state of the city, I doubt you will find much there. "
Cries of agony were then heard outside, showing that the battle was in full swing.
" Tsss! To say that I'm missing a great fight. "
" Go, Zoro ! Go, Zoro! "
Encouraging him, from the top of a roof, Rayanre saw the man fleeing, while a dozen people were shooting at him.
" Come help me, stupid crow. "
However, seeing that the fallen angel made no move to help him, the pirate found himself forced to jump to a window to hide in a house.
" He's there. " Assured a man, immediately entering it.
However, while he was followed by his companions, Raynare had no trouble hearing the sounds of agony, before seeing Zoro come out of the house while cutting a good number of guys, using a single saber. Seeing him, Raynare felt a strange sensation.
" Sandai Kitetsu… " Said Raynare, losing her smile. " The cursed blade. " A demonic sword worthy of Zoro. "
" I've got you. " A man roared, behind her back, directing his saber towards her neck.
Simply creating a spear, Raynare, blocked the sword with her creation. Then, creating a second, she threw it back, harpooned the man.
Then turning around, Raynare saw a dozen men face her, revolvers in hand.
" It's for you to choose ! Either you let yourself be nicely captured and we save you ! Either we kill you. "
" Oh my god ! What a difficult choice. " Said Raynare, pretending to be scared. " Uh ... I think ... I'll choose answer C! "
Spreading her wings, she displayed a wide sinister smile, while affirming.
" I will massacre you all. "
" Pull ! "
Sending himself to the bullets, Raynare created a new magic shield in front of her, to protect herself. Then, once in front of her attackers, she made two tridents appear in her hands, before having fun punching people here and there.
" Ah, what does it relax. "
" Dirty demon ! " Roared a man, pulling again.
This time, having lowered her guard, because of her amusement, Raynare dodged the ball in extremis, while the projectile scratched her cheek. Feeling the blood flow on his skin, the fallen angel stopped laughing, before glaring at the shooter.
Horrified by this simple look, the man could not help moving back, before fleeing.
" Where do you think you are going? " Raynare asked him, flying up into the sky.
Letting her second pair of wings appear, she gained speed and strength, as she ended up creating two spears of light in her hands.
" DIVINE TORNADO ! "
Spinning one around the other his two spears created a purple tornado which rushed straight towards the shooter before touching him, while exploding the area.
" Don't start again. " Raynare advised him, letting himself get down. " Never degrade my face again. "
While descending, she finally saw Zoro, while Mister 9 had managed to grab his arm with a chain.
" I've got you. " Giggles the man.
" It must scare me? " Zoro wondered.
" Let's say that stopping you will allow Mister 8 to end. "
" Good work. " The man assured him, from the top of a roof, while targeting Zoro.
Pulling on his bow tie, the man pulled several rifle tips out of his hair, and pointed them at Zoro.
" What ? " Surprised the saber.
" It's the end for you. "
" Two against one ... it's a bit loose. " Raynare suddenly noticed.
Jumping, Mister 8 saw her sitting right next to him, as if nothing had happened.
" You…? " Wondered the man.
Turning to her, he aimed at her before shooting. Having anticipated his reaction, Raynare created a new shield, which detonated the projectiles when they hit it. Seeing her disappear behind a cloud of smoke, Mister 8 hastened to grab his saxophone to give her the final blow.
" IGARA… "
A spear of light suddenly came out of the smoke and sank right into the mouthpiece of the musical instrument.
" What … ? "
Emerging from the smoke, Raynare, without the slightest scratch, displayed her famous sadistic smile as she snapped her fingers.
" Bye ! "
Exploding, her spear of light destroys Mister 8's weapon, ejecting the man's body back.
" Im… Impossible. "
" Mis… Mister 8. " Was frightened Mister 9.
A feminine cry was suddenly heard behind her back. Turning around, he saw Gin walk in while pulling Miss Wednesday by her hair. Having wanted to use Luffy as a hostage, the poor woman had the misfortune to meet Gin, who had thus captured her.
" Whose is it ? "
" Miss Wednesday ? "
" What a pity for you. " Said Zoro, while daring to walk towards the man, with a cruel smile. " What are we doing ? Shall we continue or stop? "
Noting that he was alone, facing three people, two of whom had a price on their heads, Mister 9 ended up dropping his gun and raising his hands in the air.
" I surrender ! I surrender ! "
" PI-TI-FUL! " Said Raynare, leaving the roof.
Looking around to see bodies on the ground, Gin muttered.
" So, these guys are bounty hunters ? Honestly, you had to suspect it. "
Throwing Miss Wednesday towards her partner, Gin affirmed.
" At the end, it's a chance that I stayed there ! Who knows what she could have done ? "
" I could have prevented him. " Loke suddenly replied.
Appearing in turn, Lucy's spirit pulled a huge duck by its paw, before launching it towards Miss Wednesday.
" I give that back to you, miss. "
" CARUE! Monster! "
" Hey, it was you who looked for the fight. " Retorted Zoro. " So, what are we going to do with ...? "
Hitting his back, a tiny object exploded.
" AAAAAAHHHHH ! "
" Zoro ? " Loke and Gin were surprised.
Falling to the ground, the swordsman groans in pain, while turning.
" Motherfucker ! "
" What do we have there ? " Wanted to know a man, walking towards the small group.
" Hahaha ! Certainly the special agents above 5 are so weak. " Giggles a woman.
" Who are you ? " Wanted to know Gin, grabbing his tonfas.
As they backed away, Mister 9 and Miss Wednesday cried out.
" Mister 5 ! Miss Valentine ! "
" 5 ? " Loke repeated.
" From what I could understand the lower the figure, the stronger the agent. " Raynare taught him.
" Mister 9, you are pathetic. " Mister 5 told him.
" Tsss! Instead of lecturing me, take care of these guys ! This will take a hell of a thorn out of our feet. "
" Hum? " Said Miss Valentine. " Do you really believe that we have come to you to help you ? Don't make us laugh. "
" But then why are you there ? "
" The boss asked us to kill a traitor. " Informed Mister 5. " These exact words were "Someone Unraveled my Secret "! "
" Boss ? " Gin repeated. " I admit being a little lost. "
" I will give you an overview later. " Raynare promised him, preferring to listen to the rest of the conversation.
" After a thorough investigation, we discovered that high dignitaries of a kingdom had infiltrated Baroque Works in order to spy on us. " Continued Miss Valentine. " What a surprise it was for us. "
" The people we are looking for are none other than the head of the Alabasta guard, Igaram… or if you prefer, Mister 8 ! As well as the princess of Alabasta, Nefertari Vivi ! Isn't that right, Miss Wednesday ? "
Opening her eyes wide, Miss Wednesday could not hide her surprise at having been exposed.
" WHAT ? " Mister 9 was surprised. " You are a princess ? "
" Is it a joke? " Wanted to know Raynare. " Did we have a princess on our boat ? "
'' Still glad she didn't tell you, you would have stripped her. " Gin noticed.
" The real question to ask would rather be '' why would a princess put her life at stake by infiltrating a criminal organization. " Loke retorted.
" Good, now it's time for us to kill you, princess. " Mister 5 noticed, taking a step towards her.
" IGARAPPAPA! "
Having risen, Mister 8 had managed to jump out of the roof before standing up in front of the duo and attacking them. Being hit by his explosive bullets, they disappeared behind a smoke screen, while the man informed them.
" You will not touch a hair of the princess. "
However, coming out of the smoke, what looked like droppings touched the man and exploded as she did with Zoro. Sensing his body being pulverized, the man spat smoke through his mouth, before collapsing on the ground.
" IGARAM ! "
" MIS… MISTER 8 ! "
" One less. " Said simple Mister 5.
" Hahaha. " Giggles Miss Valentine. " Did he really think he had a chance to defeat us ? "
" Motherfucker. " Suddenly roared Zoro.
Standing up, he winced at his charred back. Sabers in hand, he turned to the duo, while informing them.
" You will die. "
" Oh ? Were you able to get up ? Very impressive. "
" Uh ... can someone tell me which side we are on now? " Wanted to know Gin.
" We destroy these two and then we capture the princess. " Raynare taught him. " Afterwards, we can request a ransom. "
" Shit, you're obsessed with money, you. "
" Take care of your business. "
However, the fallen angel could not help showing a disgusted look, seeing Mister 5 clean the nose, before rolling a dung, between his fingers.
" NOSE FANCY CANON ! "
Sending the droppings to Zoro, Mister 5 thought to give him the final blow. However, Zoro managed to cut it in time and the two sides moved apart before exploding.
" That … ? " Gin wondered. " His boogers are explosive ! What is that thing ? "
" A fruit of the devil. " Raynare understood.
" Exactly. " Approved Mister 5.
" All the agents of the ran are skilled warriors, each with unique fighting styles. " Assured Miss Valentine. " In front of us, you have no chance. "
However, she lost her smile the instant Loke put her arm around her shoulders, before handing her a rose.
" Dear Miss, can I tell you that you are lovely ? Instead of beating us, how about having dinner together, alone ? "
" What are you doing, moron ? " Gin, Zoro and Raynare questioned him.
As for Miss Valentine, she tried to give him a powerful nudge to free herself, forcing Loke to retreat to avoid her. Once done, the young woman jumped into the air and began to float.
" She flies ? "
" I ate the fruit of the kilo! Thanks to him I can vary my weight from 1 to 10,000 kilos. "
Targeting Loke, she said.
" I will crush you. "
Then seeing her gain weight and let herself descend at full speed, Loke jumped back and left the place of impact. Hitting the ground, Miss Vantine created a crater while the ground cracked here and there.
"Oh, it was hot. " Loke noticed.
" Stops fooling around. " Gin advised him, making reels with his tonfas. " These guys are to be taken seriously. "
" NOSE FANCY CANON ! "
Seeing a new dung rush on them, Raynare created a spear of light which made it explode.
" Well, this guy is disgusting! Gin, what are you waiting for to kick his ass ? "
" Are you stupid or what ? No matter where I touch him, he will explode! Your ranged attacks are more effective against a guy like him. "
" No question that I fight this pig. "
" Hey. " Suddenly called them Loke, turning around. " The princess is gone."
" What ? " His friends were surprised, finding that Miss Wednesday and Mister 9 were nowhere to be found.
" Tsss! " Said Mister 5, before turning around and running. " Come on, Miss Valentine! These kids can wait ! We must kill our target at all costs. "
" Yes, Mister 5. "
" Hey, come back here. " Zoro ordered them, pretending to follow them.
Nevertheless, a hand gripped his leg.
" Help ... Help me ! " Begged Igaram, down. " You have to ... You have to go save Princess Vivi. "
" Huh ? " Zoro wondered. " Let go of me ! Who do you take me ? "
" Bring her back to Alabasta. " Insisted the man. " The future of our whole kingdom depends on her. "
" Your kingdom? " Loke wondered. " Can you tell us what that means? What does a princess do among these criminals ? "
" Our kingdom is called Alabasta and it is in the grip of war ! If we want to prevent it from bursting, Princess Vivi must return as soon as possible! If you help us, you will surely receive a big reward. "
Hearing it, Raynare looked thoughtful.
" You don't accept? " Gin wondered.
" Minute! I reflect on what is most advantageous between helping this princess or capturing her to ask for a ransom. "
" Sometimes, I find you worse than the redhead. "
" Keep your sarcasm for yourself, Gin. " Nami advised him, arriving with Lucy.
" Hum ? " Surprised the man. " Did you find something interesting? "
" Nothing at all. " Sighed Nami. " It is a real den of broke! But forget that and let's focus on something more important. "
Squatting then in front of Igaram, she began to display a big smile, before asking him.
" It is true that we will have a reward that we bring this princess to Alabasta ? "
" Oh no. " Said Gin. " Her too ! Tell me, Lucy, are you blinded by money too ? "
" I worry about money. " Confessed Lucy. " But not to the point of risking my life! And there, I believe that we will rush straight towards a nest of problems. "
" Me, I repeat that it is better that we take this girl hostage. " Raynare said. " Imagine, we could make a hundred million berrys, asking for a ransom ! See two hundred, with a bit of luck. "
Smiling then, Nami said no with a finger, while retorting.
" You are far from my level in business, Raynare ! Because you see, I am convinced that we can earn not far from ... a billion berrys! "
" One billion ? " Raynare, Gin and Lucy were surprised.
" How many ? " Horrified Igaram.
" It makes a lot of money. " Said Zoro.
" Yes, but it is only if his country can pay this amount. " Loke retorted.
" What do you mean ? " Lucy asked him.
" He just said that his country is threatened by war! However, generally, a war is often caused by an economic crisis ! Clearly, asking for a billion berrys from this country could prove to be impossible. "
" I ... I can't promise anything. " Affirmed Igaram. " Nevertheless, if you help us, I promise to make sure that you can get a big profit ! You have my word. "
" Good ! " Said Nami, with a broad smile.
Then turning to the men in the group, she ordered.
" ZORO ! GIN ! LOKE ! Go help this princess ! "
" Huh ? " Zoro wondered. " Hey, you made the deal with him, it's up to you! Don't you agree, Gin? "
However, to his surprise, he saw the man hesitate. He did not agree to blindly obey Nami. However, he couldn't take away from his mind the enormous reward they could gain by simply helping this girl.
" A … A billion berrys… I must admit that it is quite tempting ! Even if we share the shares equally, each of us would have enough money until the end of our days without having to work again ! Hell, I could drink whole barrels of premium quality rum without being afraid of going into debt. "
" It's true that it would be the dream to have so much money. " Said Lucy. " With a billion, we could do I don't know how much improvement to the Merry to make it even more comfortable ! Already in our room, we only have two small beds, which we have to share with four ! I want money to pay us for new furniture. "
" If you promise me a dinner with you, I would gladly help, my Lucy. " Assured Loke.
" Zoro! " Nami called him. " Remember you owe me money. "
" What ? Hey, I gave you everything the other day! Your whole hundred thousand berrys. "
" Yes ! But not interest! You still owe me 300,000 berrys! And if you ever help this princess, I would be ready to give up. "
Growling then, the man ends up leaving, while declaring.
" I damn you, dirty witch. "
Then following him, Gin and Loke left in their turn, before Raynare flew away. So remaining both, Lucy and Nami saw them leave, as did Igaram.
" Don't worry. "Assured Nami. " With them, your princess is now out of the woods. "
" What humiliation. " Igaram muttered. " I, the chief of guard of Alabasta, I helped forced to beg pirates to save the princess? What a shame ! I could never forgive my weakness! "
" The result will be the same as long as the girl is saved. " Lucy replied. " In the meantime, can you explain the situation to us! What is Alabasta? And what is happening to this country so that you two are here? "
