Rose's POV
"Gyahaha! The Ox-Ox Fruit: Model Giraffe, how's it feel to be a giraffe-man I told you not to eat that fruit!" The wolf laughed.
"Shut it Jabra, I like it."
"Lucci was a leopard, and these two are animal Zoan types too. This place is a fricken zoo!" I groaned.
"How long are you two gonna argue?" Zoro asked "We're in a hurry so can I just cut you in half now."
"You underestimate the destructive power of the giraffe." Kaku told us.
"Those two words don't go together." I told him.
"Transform: Human-Beast Form!"
All Kaku did was stand on two legs.
"Is this some kind of joke?!" Zoro yelled.
"Go back to the circus freak!" I told him "You gonna show up in my dreams for months."
"What did you just say?"
"Stay focused." Zoro told me "If you don't you could get hurt."
"I can take care of myself."
"Gyahaha!" the wolf-man laughed at his friend and his hideous form.
"How long are you gonna keep laughing Jabra!"
*click* a pair of handcuffs locked around Zoro's wrist.
"What the."
"Sorry!" Usopp yelled "Those are Seastone handcuffs. I thought we'd be able to stick them together and weaken them."
"Then why attach them to Zoro?!" I asked.
"It was an accident."
"I've had enough!" Kaku began to spin in place "Tempest Kick: Sky Slicer!"
"Usopp get down!" Zoro tackled the long nose and I jumped behind a rock.
A massive shockwave flew over us and cut through the building.
That body lets him use physics to his advantage.
"Look at the ceiling." Zoro said.
"Why can I see the sky?" Usopp said as his teeth chattered.
"He cut the whole building!" I said stunned "They're so powerful!"
"So what." Zoro said "we can take them."
*Click*
We all slowly adjusted and looked down.
"What have you done?!"
"I'm sorry!"
Zoro and Usopp had become stuck together with the handcuffs.
"This is your fault" Usopp said "You tackled me."
"Because you were gonna get your head cut off. Hurry up and get these things off."
"I don't have the key."
"You dumbass!" I yelled ringing our Usopp's neck "Now you're both stuck like Robin!"
"What's the number on the cuffs?" Kaku asked "Each set of cuffs and keys has a corresponding number, which is on yours."
"Number 2" Usopp said.
The two men looked at their keys "Not mine." "It ain't mine either."
"That means one of the other members has it." I said.
"Whoever kills them first is the winner!" the two changed back into hybrid mode and attacked us.
"Do something!" Zoro said.
"Dagger Storm!" I threw out a barrage of knives but the two just ran through them like nothing "I didn't work!" I said running with Zoro and Usopp.
"What are you doing?" Chopper asked "It looks like fun."
"Chopper go find key number two!" Usopp yelled
"I can stay and fight with Rose." Chopper said joining us in running around the room.
"Don't be ridiculous." I told him "Kill two birds with one stone. Take out a member of CP9 and find the key we need."
"The cook, Nami, Wyper, or Franky. One of them has to have it." Zoro said
"You can count on me." Chopper said running off.
I stopped running and blocked the sharp fingers of the Jabra to get some space between him and the boys.
"Down boy." I said slipping another knife out of my sleeve "Hidden Blade!"
The shiv cut Jabra's wrist and spilled some blood.
"You little bitch. Finger Pistol!"
"Gah!" the nail dug went through my jacked and dug into my side.
"Bladed Jacket!" I pulled a loose string and the knives in the lining of the jacket emerged and forced Jabra to jump back.
"What the hell!"
"This jacket was a gift from my Uncle, each nook and cranny has a knife hidden in it somewhere. You might be a wolf but I'm like a porcupine." I reached inside and pulled another string "Emergency Maneuver: Needle Storm!"
The jacket exploded and showered hundreds of tiny daggers into the room, I threw off the now tattered jacket leaving me in just a tank top.
"That was my final technique, if I need a blade all I need to do it pick one up off the floor, only problem is now I can't use more than a few at a time."
"What the hell you almost hit us!" Zoro and Usopp yelled.
"You two just wait for Chopper; I'll hold them off till then."
Steve's POV
"You're sure they took Robin through this door."
"Yeah but you need a key to open it, I'm sorry." Chimney said.
"No worries Chimney you did well." I told the girl "Leave the door to us."
"You two get back." Luffy told her.
"Break it down." I said sternly.
Luffy bit his finger "Third Gear: Bone Balloon!"
Luffy blasted down the door with one punch before shrinking to the size of a small child.
"Good job let's go." I said picking him up.
Luffy climbed up and plopped down on my head "Shrinking sucks."
"Please don't sit there or at least hang on we're about to go much faster."
"Onward my noble steed!" Luffy cheered.
"Don't call me that you make it sound weird. Anyway let's go, Shave! I'm coming Robin!"
"So, I meant to ask you" Luffy said "What are you gonna do once we rescue Robin?"
"What'd you mean?"
"Well are you gonna take her out for meat, can I come?!"
"Well I did say I would take her out, but I'll do it alone you can't come. Who knows how bad you'd embarrass me in front of Robin."
"Not more than you'd embarrass yourself." Luffy joked
I slowed down as Luffy changed back to his normal size.
"What does that mean?" I growled.
"I just mean you'll probably get all nervous and do something dumb, not that Robin cares she likes you too much to be bothered by that."
"Since when are you a love guru?" I asked.
"Well that's just all the stuff Nami says." Luffy answered "She says you two need to stop with the song and dance and make out already."
"Whoa! A little fast for that, Nami's gonna get an earful when we get done here. She shouldn't be telling you things like that."
"Once we save Robin I'm gonna make sure you kiss her." He laughed
"Shut it runt, we wouldn't want Nami to find you sleeping in her bed one morning would we?"
"You wouldn't dare." Luffy said.
"Then you better not embarrass me in front of Robin and we won't have a problem."
Luffy and I ran the rest of the way in silence until we came to a door.
"This one's not steel I can take care of it, Whip Crush!"
"This room's wide open?" Luffy pointed out.
"It's like an arena." I added.
"Welcome."
"Pigeon guy!" "Lucci!"
Wyper's POV
"Wide Burst!" I fired off the bazooka to knock back the two men chasing us.
"Franky Triangle Jacker!" Franky threw his sideburns at Fukuro but the man disappeared "He dodged."
"Like I'd be hit by an attack like that." Franky blocked the man's punch with his forearm.
"Tempest Kick!" I slid under the wave and skated towards Nero.
"Impact!"
"Iron Body!"
The dial fired but had almost no effect.
How can they take it like it's nothing?
"Rah!" Franky threw Fukuro into Nero.
"White Hot Cone!" I blasted the two men with my laser "Get to the kitchen!"
"You're not going anywhere."
Franky was close to the door when Fukuro appeared in front of him again.
"Finger Pistol: Solid Beast!"
Franky got punched in the face but shook it off like nothing.
"Strong Right!"
Nero pulled himself out of the rubble that the last blast created and fired two pistols at me, I jumped over the bullets.
"Jet Kick!" I spun around and kicked at Nero with my skate.
"Iron Body!"
I flipped and landed behind Nero.
"Axe Dial!" I blast cut into Nero's back.
"Impact!" I blasted Nero through the wall and skated after him aiming my bazooka "Precision Saw!"
"Moon Walk!" Nero kicked the air and avoided the laser "Tempest Kick!"
I once again slid under the wave and attacked"Jet Kick!"
I knocked Nero across the room when Franky burst through the wall and buried him in more stone.
"Oh sweet the kitchen!"
Another wall broke and Chopper and some guy came through.
"A gorilla?"
Chopper locked the man who was attacking him and locked him in the fridge.
"Yeah!"
"Kumadori?!"
"Dammit gorilla I needed something from the fridge." Franky yelled.
"Ahh it's the punk!"
"My name's Franky! I'm your ally you stupid gorilla!"
"Who you calling a gorilla?"
"We don't have time for this you two." I said "We need to get it together to save Robin. Franky needs cola to fight at full strength."
"I want to save her" Chopper cried.
"Then get me three bottles of cola from the fridge." Franky said.
"What idiot gets stronger with soda?!"
"This one." I shrugged.
"It's rude to ignore your opponent during battle. Solid Beast!"
Franky got tackled to the ground and began to get pulverized.
"Double Tempest Kick!"
One of the waves cut at my arm but I avoided the other one.
"Wide Burst!" I fired off a cannon ball at Nero but he jumped over it and pointed his pistols at me.
Nothing is doing any real damage.
"SUPER~!"
"What the hell was that?" Nero and I both said confused.
"Strong Hammer!"
Fukuro came flying past and crashed into Nero sending them both out onto the balcony.
"Hey wait." Chopper said "We need to find key number 2. Zoro and Sogeking are locked together."
"Those idiots. At least we know what key we don't need for Robin." I mumbled heading out to the balcony.
"Shave!" Nero suddenly appeared in front of me and punched me in the stomach then he grabbed me and threw me off the ledge.
"Crap!" I landed on the ground just shy of falling into the abyss below.
"Tempest Kick!"
"GAH!"
The wave hit me in the back and knocked me to the ground.
"Impact!" I blasted Nero off me. "Screw you cat man."
"Your toys are a pain in the ass." Nero fired his guns "Just die!"
"White Hot Cone!" I melted the bullets before they got near me.
"Shave!" Nero appeared in the air behind me and kicked me in the back of the head and sat on my body.
"Axe Dial!"
"Iron Body!"
The slash bounced off.
It went through last time what stopped it, did he get stronger?
"I will redeem myself! So what if I can't use Finger Pistol, an old fashioned gun does just as well!"
He's gonna blow my brains out!
*click* "Ah crap it's empty!"
"Impact!"
"I need that key now hand it over." I said getting up "And by the way, if you're gonna use a weapon take proper care of it, that gun's not empty it jammed cause it clearly wasn't maintained properly."
"Why would I, it's just some cheap toy. Why do you even care? All the intel says that you just joined these people, you should just leave them behind."
"I can't do that. A friend needs me. Back home my friends were all I had; I can't face them if I abandon the ones I've made down here. I tried to sacrifice my friends back during the fight against Eneru. That was wrong. I trust my friends and they trust me, I won't abandon them! I don't want to walk over the bodies of dead comrades!" I yelled "I am a warrior of Shandora! I…AM A STRAWHAT PIRATE!"
"What a pathetic sentiment." Nero joked.
I skated forward, jumped and pinned Nero's arms with my legs "I'm not supposed to do this, Chopper said it's no good for my arm but…"
I shoved the dial in his face.
"That won't work Iron Body!"
"Eat this! Reject!"
This has to go through.
"GAH!"
The blast blew Nero into the stone stairs, cracking them as he impacted it.
"My arm is killing me." I stumbled over and picked the key out from under Nero's hat "One down, who knows how many to go."
