Bold is for attacks

Steve's POV

I looked at the guy we just punched in the face.

That was fricken stupid. We're in for it now, should I have stopped Luffy or was this the right call…

"I hear if we hit one of these guys an admiral will show up." Luffy said "Sorry."

"What are you sorry for." I grumbled "I did it too didn't I?"

"What'd you do that for?" Zoro complained "I wanted to slice him in two."

"I guess our plan is set then." Franky said.

"We have to find the key to the collar." Chopper said "It's probably in the back."

Another one of those Dragons tried to get back at Luffy and I but Sanji kicked the gun out of his hand.

"Let's move we gotta free Camie." Sanji said "Clear a path!"

I heard someone tell them to call an admiral and that sent the crowd running. The rest of the crew showed up and Usopp crashed into another one of the dragons.

"And as if this wasn't bad enough." Rose mumbled.

"The Marines are already here."

I saw a man just sitting in the pews like nothing was happening. He was sitting with a bear and they were just watching us.

"The Marines have already surrounded the auction house." The man explained "You've put on quite the show."

"You're Trafalgar Law." Robin said "That man is a pirate."

Suddenly as if out of nowhere I felt like I was about to be sick. All the fighting stopped and we saw a man and a giant at the back of the stage.

"You sure stirred up quite a bit of trouble…" the man said "You're the ones who saved him, well then."

Again, a sickening pulse went out and everyone who trying to stop us passed out.

"What the…"

"The hair…and the hat…I've waited a long time to meet you two…" The man said.

That guy walked up and defused Camie's bomb collar like nothing was wrong.

"Just who is this guy?" I wondered.

I overheard some guy in a fur coat call him Silvers Rayleigh.

Eustass Kidd…I saw his bounty poster before he's got a bounty even higher than Luffy's

"I wouldn't go throwing that name around." Rayleigh said "Around here I go by Ray."

The old man checked on Hachi before coming over to us.

"You wanted to talk to us?"

"We can do that later right now we need to find a way out of here."

The place was surrounded and the marines were demanding our surrender.

"Well we're heading out." Kidd said "We'll do you a favor and take out the guys out front."

I laughed as Luffy walked forward.

"Stay back we don't need your help." Luffy said.

"Order me around and I'll take you out Eustass." Law said.

"I thought I told you to stay back." Kidd growled.

"You ain't my boss." I told him.

The Marines fired cannons at us Luffy blocked the one sent at us.

"Repel!" Kidd was able to block a shot with a flick of his wrist.

"Room." Law made some kind of sphere and cut a man's head off "Shambles." The cannon ball switched places with the man's head.

What the hell! Am I the only one without a Devil Fruit Power?! Am I really this weak I can't even contribute?

I didn't have to do anything as these three demolished the Marines. Law was cutting people into pieces and Kidd was pulling guns away like it was nothing.

"Tempest Kick: Line!" I sent out a straight shot that plowed through the Marines.

Before long the Marines were starting to call for reinforcements.

"It's time to part ways." Kidd said "From this point onward only the strong will survive, let's meet in the New World."

The Flying Fish Riders had secured us an escape route and we made a break for it. We had to keep the path open for Franky and the old man.

"They're clear let's go!" I yelled.

When we got away from the Marines, Rayleigh led us to a bar. We got set up inside and found out that Rayleigh was the First Mate of the pirate king. Rayleigh revealed to us that Roger wasn't killed but had turned himself in because he was sick. Rayleigh kept laying down information, it was all too much to take in, he told us that Crocus was the ship's doctor, and showed us just how close he and Roger were.

"There are still a few people left who took something away from what Roger said. Shanks was one of them." He explained.

"Figures you know the old man." I told him.

"You grew up in the East Blue right, you know Buggy?" he asked.

"Yes but I'd rather not."

"Both of them were apprentices on the Pirate Kings ship. Your Mom worked in the kitchen."

"WHAT?!"

"You guys didn't know that, I thought I told you." I said scratching my head.

"10 years ago we crossed paths again. He was missing his hat and an arm. When I asked what happened he couldn't stop talking about you kids…Well I won't start running my mouth off and telling you things he told me in private. Congratulations on making it this far I'm sure you'll see him in the New World."

"I hope so…" I smiled.

"Well then you wanted me to coat your ship?"

Before Rayleigh could get to work Robin had questions for him about something she had read on one of her Poneglyphs.

"Yeah I know…I know the whole story." Rayleigh said "But don't get all heated up, just take it one step at a time, maybe we were a little too hasty. Me telling you right now does nothing, you need to see it yourself and draw your own conclusions. But I will tell you if you want to know that badly."

"No." Robin said sitting next to me and smiling "I don't want my journey to end just yet."

When Usopp tried asking Rayleigh about the One Piece Luffy wasted no time laying him out.

"I don't want a boring adventure like that. Not knowing is half the battle." Luffy said.

Rayleigh said it would take a few days to complete the ship so we decided to hide out till then. Everyone got a scrap of Rayleigh's Vivre Card and we would use it to regroup when the ship was ready.

We hadn't gotten very far from the bar when we got attacked. That guy from Thriller Bark, Kuma, was blocking our path but this time instead of a shockwave he shot out a laser beam.

"Coup De Vent!" Franky was able to blast the Warlord back and Luffy went all out form the start.

"Tempest Kick!" I sent out a wave the knocked the man back "Shave! Crow's Nest Kick!"

I dashed under the man and kicked him in the jaw.

"SHIT!"

It felt like my leg was gonna snap in two. Luffy, Rose, Zoro, and Sanji came up and did a combo attack on the guy and blasted him back, but even that didn't work. Zoro's wounds were acting up and he wasn't looking good. Chopper went up and laid into Kuma but it barely made dent, same with Franky's punches and Wyper's bazooka.

Every attack we used just barely left a scratch.

"Flambage Shot!"

"Nine Sword Style Demon Aura Ashura!" Somehow Zoro had grown two more heads and four more arms.

"Knife Shower!"

"Shave Tempest: Never Ending Storm!"

"Gum-Gum Giant Rifle!"

When all those attacks hit…the monster finally stayed down.

Franky had come to the conclusion that what we just fought was a cyborg built to look like Kuma, in other words not the real guy.

"We need to rest." Luffy said.

"No we gotta hide." I warned.

Before we could even get off the ground we got attacked again, this time by a big guy with an axe and another cyborg.

"Jeez…crap…"

These things, these Pacifistas how many are there? The guy with the axe said his name was Sentoumaru, an assistant of Vegapunk.

"We gotta run Luffy, we need to split up." I said "It's the only way!"

"Good idea."

Sanji took Franky, Nami and Wyper.

Zoro took Usopp, Rose, and Brook.

And that left Robin, Lil, and Chopper with Me and Luffy.

"We meet up in three days!"

The cyborg went after Sanji's group and Sentoumaru came after us, with one slap he pushed Luffy back into a tree.

"AH!"

"You're rubber that shouldn't hurt! Tempest Kick!"

My attack was blocked just like Luffy's was. There was an explosion nearby and now the admiral had shown up, and he was after Zoro's group. He was about to stomp Zoro out when Robin rolled the swordsman out of the way but he just moved his leg.

He's gonna die…

Rose's POV

"Zoro!"

Just as the foot was coming down Rayleigh showed up to block the attack.

"Grab him and run!" Luffy yelled.

Usopp picked up Zoro and we made a break for it.

"Listen!" Steve yelled "Your only goal needs to be survival. Think of nothing but getting away! We cannot win this fight! No matter what you have to survive and live!"

So, we turned and ran as fast as we could.

"Leave me." Zoro mumbled "I'll buy you some time."

"No!" I said "We're all leaving. Steve said not to fight, that means you to."

That cyborg was right on our tail and Brook was stopping.

"Don't stop!" I yelled.

He got blasted by a laser and Sanji had come out of nowhere to save us.

"Sanji!"

"Take him and go!"

The flash of light the drilled into us was so fast I didn't even see it.

We're gonna die…this is it isn't it…I'm really gonna die here without seeing them again, I'm scared.

I looked around and saw Sanji, Brook, Zoro, and Luffy were all hurt and Usopp was freaking out.

What do I do…?

"That's enough PX-1"

"Another one!" I cried as another of those cybernetic monsters appeared.

Except this time it was the real deal, this was Kuma…

"You're still alive Roronoa…"

"Only thanks to you…"

"If you could take a trip where would you like to go?" Kuma asked.

In the blink of an eye he moved his hand.

*Poof*

And like that Zoro was gone, vanished in an instant.

"Huh…Zoro…ZORO!"

I screamed out for him but he was gone.

"What the hell just happened…?"

"He's gone…" he told me in that robotic and flat voice.

The cyborg from earlier was about to attack Usopp but Kuma made it disappear as well.

"Do not interfere."

"RUN!" Luffy yelled "WE'LL FIND ZORO LATER JUST RUN!"

Usopp helped Sanji up and we went to leave. Kuma was right behind us I could feel him.

"Move!"

Brook pushed us out of the way.

"I shall protect you even if it costs me my life."

One swing.

*Poof*

"BROOK!"

"RAH!" I pulled I knife out.

If I can just hit an artery, I can stop him from chasing us.

"Sunset Shower!"

I dashed forward and cut into Kuma, landing behind him.

*Crack*

My knife shattered as soon as I landed.

No…way…

I turned and got a good look at the man who made Zoro vanish.

"Daddy…help me…"

*Poof*

Wyper's POV

"ROSE!"

Another one, gone in a second.

The bear man threw Sanji around and made his way towards Usopp.

"Stay away!"

*Poof*

"USOPP!"

Gone in an instant. Sanji ran forward to attack.

"Sanji Don't!"

*Poof*

"SANJI!"

"Zoro, Brook, Rose, Usopp and Sanji, they all vanished…" Nami said, already crying.

"We have to move!" I yelled "Come on!"

I grabbed Nami and tried puling her away. And in a flash Kuma was in front of us.

"Strong Right!"

"NO!"

*Poof*

"FRANKY!"

"Nami run!" I pushed her back.

I pulled out the dial and flipped up by Kuma's head.

"REJECT!"

I set the blast off.

I don't care what it does to my arm, if it slows him down…

He looked up and me totally unscathed.

"Shit…"

*Poof*

Lil's POV

"WYPER!"

He was gone, just like all the rest. Then the man turned again with no hesitation and swiped his arm.

"No!"

*Poof*

"NAMI!"

Suddenly he was right in front of us.

He's so fast.

"Get away from them!"

Papa ran in front of us and knocked him back.

"Get out of here! Run and don't look back!" he yelled "GO!"

We didn't move.

"I told you to run!" he yelled even louder.

I felt Robin grab my hand and start pulling me away.

Before he got too far, I heard him whisper one last thing.

"I love you both so much."

I felt Mama drag me away, I ran as fast as my little legs would take me, I was so scared, I didn't understand why this was happening, I had people who cared about me, a family and now…it was all being taken away.

What did I do to deserve this, everywhere I go…I only bring suffering to the people I love!

*Poof*

"CHOPPER!"

I don't know what I was thinking, I don't know why I did it…I looked back and tripped over my own feet.

No!

I tried to crawl away but he just kept getting closer.

Steve's POV

Now Chopper was gone.

"NO!" I heard Robin scream

Kuma teleported again so he was in front of Robin and Lil. Lil was on the ground backing away as fast as she could. I ran towards her, I needed to get there…

*Poof*

"LIL!"

"NOOO!"

The scream Robin let out...it was like something out of a nightmare. Lil was gone…and I let it happen, I wasn't fast enough. I had to keep going through; maybe I could still save her.

I ran, and she reached out…her fingers were just inches away.

"Steve."

*Poof*

"ROBINNNN!"

I just fell to the ground like the weakling I am. I could hear Luffy sobbing a few feet from me.

I'm so fucking pathetic…I couldn't save anybody…not my friends…not my sister…not my daughter…and not the woman I love…I'm so…useless.

I saw that Kuma was moving right by Luffy.

Not him too! I have to try! I can't lose him!

I ran forward and tackled Luffy.

"We will not be seeing each other again…Farewell."

*Poof*
