Steve's POV
"Are we all set?" I asked.
"We're good to go." Franky said.
"Is there a reason we're all dressed up?' Wyper asked.
"It is a formal event." Lil said spinning around "We need to dress the part."
The guys and I were wearing basic black suits while the girls all had on little black dresses.
"Here's the stuff I built for ya'." Wyper said dumping a chest on the deck "Any firearm you need is in there."
We dug around the trunk and picked out various weapons.
"Oh no you don't." Robin said taking a pistol away from Lil "You are far too young to be playing with guns."
"But Mom~"
"Not buts young lady." I said "These aren't toys. Maybe when you're older."
"Alright let's go." Luffy said.
"Then grab something and hang on tight." Franky warned "Coup De Burst!"
The ship took off and flew towards Shiki's palace, the speed we had meant there was no stopping us as we touched down right at the front door.
"No one do anything stupid now, we still have to find Nami." I told them when we got off the ship.
"You're in our way." Zoro said cutting a man down "Move."
The palace was a nice place, very fancy. We walked down the longs hallways; I admired the work of the interior designer the place had a good vibe; it was a shame we'd have to destroy it all. Eventually we ended up at the door to Shiki's meeting room.
Zoro cut one side of the door open. Usopp tried to kick the other side down put just got his foot caught.
"You gotta do it with style." Sanji told him "Let me show you."
"Wait I'm still stuck!"
Sanji kicked the door down and sent Usopp with it, the path was open so we walked in. Luffy was a few steps behind, you know dramatic entrance and all.
"So, you wanna go again?" Shiki asked us.
"You're gonna attack the East Blue, aren't you?" Luffy asked.
"What if I am?"
"Nami, she's okay?"
"Yeah she's just great." He laughed.
Scumbag…
"You sure put on the dangerous face, but you don't think you're going to walk out of here alive do you?" he added.
The walls fell down and it seemed like everyone on Shiki's side was in the room.
"I didn't think all of you would be naïve enough to rush in here. I figured only one would be stupid enough to sacrifice herself."
"You're even dumber than you look." I joked "Nami would never sacrifice herself."
"She joined you to attack from the inside." Luffy explained.
We pointed the deadly weapons at Shiki's crew.
"We don't lose the same fight twice!"
Eliminating the competition was simple enough. Spray and pray, hold down the trigger till nothing was in the way. Before long every grunt in the room was down.
"I'm out." Franky said.
"There are never enough bullets." Wyper sighed.
"That would make it too easy." Zoro said.
"Now the fun begins." Rose laughed.
"Usopp, Chopper, Lil you go look for Nami." Luffy instructed.
"Right!"
The three ran off and left the real struggle to us. The main force charged at us but we just held them back without much trouble, Luffy walked through the crowd and headed right after Shiki.
"Give me back my friend!"
Luffy landed one strong blow to Shiki's face and ran after the man. Some clown look-alike tried to get in his way.
Zoro and Rose blocked the attack "Can't you see he's a little busy."
Some weirdly dressed gorilla tried to stop him next but Sanji and I moved it out of the way.
"Stick to your own fight ape!"
The gorilla recovered and climbed up the rafters and left the room. Luffy went on ahead while the rest of us stayed behind to clean up the rabble. There was a loud explosion but we ignored it, I figured it wsa just one of Shiki's teams fighting someone.
Before long people weren't the only thing we were dealing with, animals had started attacking the palace as well. I had ended up isolated from the rest of the crew and dealing with these interlopers.
"Stupid Walrus just stay down. Whip Hurricane!"
I laid into the blubbery beast until it stopped moving.
"Good."
Rose's POV
Zoro and I were running around the palace tearing into animals and looking for that weird clown guy that had run off.
"Let's try down here." I suggested walking down a hallway.
It was way too quiet, there were a lot of plants in this small hallway and it looked like they were being cultivated.
"A greenhouse?" I wonder "Zoro you're walking backwards."
"No, you're walking backwards." He mumbled.
"You can look all you like!" there was a voice coming from the end of the hall "But why would I give you my personal stash?"
We went down there and found the clow staring down Chopper, Usopp and Lil.
"Cause that would save you a lot of trouble." Zoro told him as we entered the room.
"You should listen to him." I added "We can take it by force if we have to."
"Stand back guys." Zoro said "We're gonna slash this guy into confetti."
"Zoro and Rose!"
"You followed me all the way here?"
"We need that drug he has to save Nami." Usopp said running off.
"You think you can beat me you East Blue Hicks! No one cares if you crap sea gets destroyed. It's all worthless, No one cares!"
"Grrrr!"
Zoro slashed at the man a tore a whole wall down meaning the fight was moving outside. We quickly followed and landed on a small bridge.
"Chemical Juggling."
Little orbs of something appeared around the doctor.
"I'll melt your bones!"
He shot the stuff at us and we had to block it, it wasn't so bad at first but they just kept coming.
"I can't keep up." I warned "There's just too many!"
I don't know who missed their block, it was probably me, but one of the orbs exploded into a noxious cloud.
Zoro was totally fine despite the explosion.
"I don't have time to mess around with you."
The doctor formed one large ball and threw it at us. Zoro blocked it like it was nothing and then that thing happened again.
Just like in the Tower of Law he had three heads and six arms.
"Demon Aura: Nine Sword Style Asura!"
Zoro dashed forward covered in a crimson flame. Indigo shot an orb at Zoro but I shot a knife and blew it away before it hit him.
"Piercing Drill!"
Zoro sliced through the man and sent him flying, when he landed there was a violent explosion.
"Here!" I threw the vial to Lil "Go help Nami!"
"We're heading back." Zoro said.
"Wrong way stupid!"
Steve's POV
I had managed to regroup with Brook and Sanji and we were taking down some animals and men who were still fighting.
"They just keep coming." Sanji panted.
There was a loud roar from the next building over.
"Next one!" I said.
I have a bad feeling all the sudden.
I looked up at the top of this tower and I saw that gorilla from before…and he was holding my girlfriend.
"GET AWAY FROM HER!"
That ape started making kissy faces.
"Oh Hell no! Over my dead body you're marrying Robin!"
"Since when do you speak gorilla?!"
"Shave!"
I sprinted up the support beams and headed towards Robin. Some monkey tried to stop me on the way up.
"Outta the way!" I flicked my whip and threw the monkey off the beam and kept going.
I quickly made it to the top of the tower and broke through the roof.
"I've had it up to here with people trying to steal her away from me; I'm pissed at you trying to kiss her, and I'm really angry about you trying to destroy my home! Miss Makino lives in the East Blue, she raised me and I won't let you destroy what makes her happy!" I snapped.
The gorilla just scratched its head.
"Shave Tempest: Never-ending Storm!"
I sent a barrage of air blades at the gorilla and beat him senseless
"Anchor Drop!"
I slammed my heel into his head and knocked the ape through the tower, making him drop Robin.
"Stay away from the women in my life…oh shit Robin!"
She was slowly falling towards the ground, she seemed like she was unconscious and in need of help.
I'm gonna look so cool when I catch her.
I jumped off the tower to catch her but that damn skeleton beat me to the punch.
"I'll rip your face off jerk, you stole my big moment!"
I crashed into the ground.
"OW~!"
"He knows I don't have a face right?"
LATER
We met up with the others and Nami said she had a plan to take Shiki's whole operation down; the plan was to blow the palace sky high. We followed her instructions and got the explosives all set up.
"We're good to go!" Wyper called out "Get back to the ship so we can go!"
We got the ship all set to go now we just needed Luffy to get back so we could leave. I stood on the figure head and watched Luffy fight Shiki. He used his Third Gear technique to make his leg large and get it charged with lightning.
"Oh boy…"
"Giant Thor Axe!"
"Franky we gotta go!" I yelled.
When Luffy's foot hit the island it shattered, sparks of electricity going everywhere. Franky hit the switch and blasted us off that island as soon as there was a clear path.
Where the hell are you stupid?
We hit the open air and Franky's parachute activated and the ship slowly fell towards the sea. We had to stand there and wait for that bird to pull Luffy out of the clouds.
"Took you long enough."
"He looks like an idiot." Zoro joked.
Luffy was all tiny from using his giant form.
"What the hell is that?" Rose asked.
"I guess they really do work." Wyper said.
All those people from the village were flying with those arm wings.
"I guess maybe they did want to be birds." Lil giggled.
The bird brought Luffy back and Chopper took the now unconscious Nami back to the infirmary.
"All's well that ends well." I mumbled.
"Anyone know where we are?" Usopp asked.
LATER
After waiting a few days for Nami to feel better we discovered we had actually gone backwards from being on Shiki's turf.
"We're back before that resort island." Nami said.
"It's a sign!" I yelled "Next time we're stopping for a day of relaxation!"
"No, I told you we were going to Fishman Island." Nami said "We can't risk the Log resetting."
"I read about that." Robin said "It's not actually an island so the Log won't change."
"We're stopping!" I cheered "Something's wrong…"
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Robin asked.
"Luffy why are you so quiet you should be all over this?" I said "It's a trip to a fun resort that sounds like your thing."
"Yeah when's she gonna explain this?" Luffy said holding up the tone dial.
"Don't play that!" Nami yelled.
"You said some mean stuff." Luffy pouted "After all the things we've done together I thought you'd give me a little more credit than that."
Nami started trying to steal the dial back from Luffy and I couldn't help but laugh.
"What's so funny?" Robin asked taking a seat next to me.
"They're just too cute together." I laughed a bit "It's nice to have friends like this."
"Luffy did you even listen to the whole thing?" Rose asked.
"It had to sound convincing." Robin told him.
"If you hadn't thrown your hissy fit you would have heard the end." I informed my friend.
"If you ask me the complete message almost sounded like a love letter" Sanji said "That's just how much Nami cares about me!"
"I think you should listen to it all the way." Franky said.
"Shut up!" Nami yelled.
"Okay." Luffy said pushing the play button.
"Don't it's embarrassing!"
"Stop I wanna hear what you said." Luffy said fighting off Nami.
"You're being a jerk! Give it!"
Nami grabbed the dial and tried to throw it off the ship.
"Whoa there." Wyper said grabbing the shell "These are hard to find."
Luffy grabbed the dial and started trying to listen again. I watched the two fight over the dial and smiled.
"My life is pretty awesome." I mumbled.
