Luffy's Group
As the sea train was headed towards the Enies Lobby, they saw a man in the middle of the ocean.
"Ah! He's the Ship Cutter!" - said Zambai
"The Ship cutter!? said Luffy
"He's a captain from Marine Headquarters, Ship Cutter T-Bone!" said Zambai
"He can Chop a Pirate Ship into pieces like it's beef! What's he doing here!?" said Zambai
"Okay! Crew, Get ready to fire!" said Zambai
"Wait!" said Luffy stopping the Franky Family
"What!? If we don't hurry, he'll chop us in half, too!" Yelled Zambai
"Are you blind? Leave it to Zoro!" said Luffy
Zoro was already in front of the train.
"I'll only say this once! Get out of the way, or die!" Exclaimed Zoro
"... I'm a captain from Marin Headquarters! This is the road to the home of justice! If you surrender the Sea Train, I will let you go. I have a child that I must save!" Said Captain T-Bone
"A child?" Said Luffy
"Then so be it… Our Destination lies in the place you're trying to protect!" Said Zoro getting his three swords style ready
"Then Come!" Said Captain T-Bone was readying his stance.
The duel happened in an instance.
"I hate swords that don't go straight! Chokkaku Hicho: Bone… Odori!" Yelled Captain T-Bone slashing towards Zoro.
Zoro dodged the slash that went towards him.
"He dodged everything!?" Exclaimed Captain T-Bone
"Santoryu Gyuki… Yuzume!" Exclaimed Zoro cutting through Captain T-Bone
"I…. I'm sorry I failed you, young child…." Said Captain T-bone as his sword shattered and fell through the ocean.
"Wow! We beat the ship cutter!" The Franky Family and the Gallelia Company cheered
"Ha… You'd left the cart to pursue the sea train on foot… You're a good man… But we can't stop for you. Maybe justice is a significant burden to you… But we have even more important things on the line!" Said Zoro
Luffy and Zoro went back to the train, telling Nami what happened.
"He kept mentioning something about a child?" Said Luffy chewing on meat
"That's probably Frisk he's referring to. Sanji-Kun mentioned Frisk disguising herself as a marine…. I feel bad for captain T-Bone if that's the case. Because Frisk is probably fine." Said Nami
"That must mean we're getting closer. Okay! Charge Rocket, man! Our enemy is close! I'm going to kick that pigeon guy flying!" Said Luffy

Sanji's Group
* You open the next cart with the others and see a man with white hair blocking the way. He is Wanze, a Ramen Kenpo user. He taunts Sogeking(?) and Franky, angering them, but Sanji stops them.
"Don't let him control you… It'll just waste time! I'll take care of him!" - Sanji
"The thing I dislike most… Is the fact that you call yourself a chef!" - Sanji
* Wanze looked around, looking for who Sanji was referring to.
"I'm talking to you idiot!" - Sanji exclaimed
* Sanji kicked at Wanze, but he managed to dodge it with ease.
"He dodged Sanji's Kick so easily! And he still acts like nothing happened!" -Usopp
"That was scary!" - Wanze
"Damn you! Stop making that face!" - Franky
"Be serious already!" - Sogeking
"Okay, leave this guy to me. You two, go to the next car!" - Sanji
"I won't let you!" - Wanze
* Wanze started to chew on more flour, inflating himself more and more.
"Ramen beam!" - Wanze
* Wanze shot ramen noodle projectiles out from his nose, causing the noodles to spread everywhere.
"Stop that!" - Sanji
* Sanji kicked towards Wanze, causing him to stop shooting the Ramen. Wanze did a backflip dodging his attack.
"Let's go from the top!" - Franky
"Okay. We'll leave him to you, Sanji-Kun!" - Sogeking
* You tell Sanji to be careful.
"Of course Frisk-san~ if it's your request!" - Sanji
* You know that Sanji wouldn't lose to someone like him and make your way up to the top of the train. Seeing how the stakes are getting higher and higher fills you with determination.
* Before you go to the top of the train on the ladder, Usopp stops you.
"If we use this Octopus, we can get to Robin avoiding everyone around the cart!" - Usopp
* You ask about Franky.
"Franky is going to be the bait for us so that no one else searches for us!" - Sogeking
* You nod your head. It would be better if to avoid the enemy.
"Franky! We're going around!" - Sogeking
"Okay! Leave the rest to me!" - Franky
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
* You hug tightly behind Usopp. And go towards the front of the train cart. Suddenly, you're in your mindscape. You must have lost consciousness while on Usopp's back. You know that Sogeking has been Usopp the whole time. Even though he left the crew, he still deeply cares for everyone and is willing to risk his life despite the team's fallout. Behind his insecurities, you see a man with a heart of gold and one who can overcome any obstacles... You want to help Usopp. But do you have the right to help him…? You then start to continue your thoughts, thinking about Robin. You see that Robin is trying to sacrifice herself for everyone. Because it's the "greater purpose." Just like Asriel… What… What if you fail…? What if you can't save Robin like how you couldn't save Asriel?... Your determination falters. You feel your sins crawling on-
"Just what are you thinking, you idiot?" - Chara
* Chara bonks you on the head. You stare at her.
"Failing? Is this the same Frisk that I knew?! The others thought you were insane, stupid, and overly romantic, thinking that you could save everyone! I mean, yeah, they're totally right, but that's not the point! The point is that you failed and failed, but you know what the difference between you and anyone else is?" - Chara
"..." - Frisk
"Determination. You kept getting back up and up to no matter how impossible the odds or how many times life kicked you down. You saved Toriel, Papyrus, Sans, Undyne, Alphys, Mettaton, Asgore, the monsters..." - Chara
"I…. I couldn't save you or Asriel…." - Said Frisk with tears falling from her face
"... You know… Frisk… I think you did save me and even Asriel…" - Said Chara with a small smile.
"I-" - Frisk
"Let me finish you, stubborn idiot. I don't think you understand how much it means to others when you try to help them." - Chara
"I was just doing what I can." - Said Frisk as a matter of fact.
"See, that's the thing, though. Not everyone would risk their LIVES to help another. And the fact you would go out of your way to do that multiple times to help one person? And to not do the same thing for one person but several? You've changed so many peoples' and monsters' lives. So when you tried saving a child that wants humanity to burn and a literal demonic flower that is physically incapable of feeling love when no one would. That… That meant the world to us." - Chara.
"You guys becoming like that is not your fault." - Frisk.
"... That's what I love and hate about you, Frisk. Sometimes, people and monsters get the short end of the stick, and the world moves on without a care in the world. Because why should they? Reality is not a fairytale. However, When I look at you… You drop everything to care. Asriel and I've been doing evil shit! You should think that we're crazy and evil just like everyone else! BUT NO. YOU SEE THE GOOD IN US WITH ENDLESS FAITH!
"Because I do." - Frisk
"... And that… is why… You make me hope thinking that it doesn't have to be this way. That the world truly could get better…" - Chara.
Chara scrunched up her face and collar grabbed Frisk.
"SO WHAT IF YOU FAIL?! TRY AGAIN LIKE YOU'VE ALWAYS HAVE! ISN'T THAT WHAT YOU'VE BEEN DOING THIS WHOLE TIME?! PROVE ME THAT I'M WRONG! BECAUSE…. BEcause… I'm going to gamble… The last time I gambled was with Asriel, and that ended us dead and sad… But looking at this pirate crew that you're in and seeing you. I'm going to try it one more time….. Believing." - Said Chara letting Frisk go.
"...!" - Frisk
"Because now… I want to save Robin too… And that might mean we might get closer to finding a way to save Asriel… So Frisk… There's one thing that I learned so far watching you and this crazy crew. And it's that you guys never give up." - Said Chara with a grin.
"... Thanks, Chara, I know what to do now. And also, I'm probably gonna have to baton pass to you soon." - Said Frisk with a smile.
"Leave the battle to me. Now wake up!" - Chara.

Usopp shakes Frisk slightly after he arrives. She must have gone unconscious, and Usopp worried for her. Frisk makes a blank stare at Usopp, causing him to breathe out a sigh of relief he did not know he was holding.
"Thank God! I thought that you might've fainted! We made it to Robin! Now let's get inside-" - Usopp
"Usopp" - Frisk
"What's wrong? Usopp-Kun isn't here! Sogeking is-" - Usopp
"Usopp, you should go inside alone and try to persuade Robin to escape." - Frisk
"Huh? Why me alone?" - Usopp
"Because as great it would be for Robin to escape with us, chances are that she is going to be highly resisting that idea. I'm going to be honest. My body is at a limit, and I would be more of a burden there for you two if we do try to escape." - Frisk.
"Nonsense! I the great Sogekin-" - Usopp
"That's not the only reason, though. I…. I want to take a gamble. Usopp. I believe in you." - Frisk
"I'm not Uso.." - Usopp.
"I know that under that mask is a kind-hearted man who wants to help. A man who can become more courageous than anyone when the challenge arises. A man who doesn't have to prove his worth because just with his existence, he gives courage and strength to others." - Frisk
"..." - Usopp
"Because for all your talk about your pride… The actions you do speak more than volumes for what kind of person you are." - Frisk
"... And that is…?" - Usopp
Frisk smiled widely.
"A brave warrior of the sea." - Frisk
"...!" - Usopp
Frisk started to cough violently, with more blood coming out of her mouth.
"Frisk!" - Usopp
"Don't Worry! I'll be switching soon with Chara… But for this plan to work, Robin and the CP9 can't know that I'm hiding amongst you guys." - Frisk.
"I…. Okay, Frisk. I'll trust whatever you're trying to do. But promise me that you'll be safe too, okay?" - Usopp.
"Okay, Sogeking," Said Frisk with a smile.
Usopp started to get closer to the mirror on the last cart by himself. Frisk began to get closer to the engineering room.
"Let's do this." - Frisk
