Lil's POV

"Ugh…not again." I groaned rubbing my head as I sat up "Last thing I remember was that Master guy showing up…"

"You're awake again." A womanly voice said "We must stop meeting like this."

"AH!" I scurried back "Monet."

"Hello again Lil…" the harpy smiled and waved.

"What am I doing here?"

"Master brought you back here." She said flatly.

"You know Lil…" the woman said pacing forward on the talon legs "I like you…you remind me of my little sister."

"You have a sister?"

"Yes, but I haven't seen her in a very long time…I miss her dearly." Monet said staring off "You look like her."

"I do?"

"Yes…but you're much younger than her."

How could someone older than me look the same?

"I hope I can see her again soon" Monet mumbled staring off.

Steve's POV

I hate this cage I just want to get out and go after that Harpy. I looked over at Robin, and in a rare instance she was visibly agitated.

"I'm sure you figured it out by now Law, Vergo has your heart."

The guy with the sunglasses squeezed the cube and Law writhed in pain.

"AHHHH!"

"This is a shame Law." Caesar gloated "I really wanted to be friends with you; we could have done great work together."

"You got saved by a secretary." Law smirked "I should have been more wary; I underestimated her because her master is so dumb."

"AHHHH!" Law screamed when Caesar squeezed his heart.

"Your powers are so troublesome." Smoker mumbled "And where's my heart."

"Right here." Caesar smiled giving it a soft squeeze.

"Master everything is in place." Monet said returning to the room, without Lil.

Caesar began to speak with brokers all across the underworld, peddling his latest masterpiece, a gas bomb that could wipe out whole islands. On the screens we could see a giant slime…lizard thing and it was blowing up and leaking some strange purple gas out. I watched as anyone that gas touched was petrified and presumably killed.

"Incredible…" Wyper mumbled "That gas is not only toxic it has petrifying ash like agents in it, not only do you writhe in pain…you can't even run for safety."

"Hey look." Luffy pointed out "It's Zoro and the others and that smoky stuff is after them."

"What are they doing out there?"

"Seems like Mr. Samurai's body is complete."

"Hooray…just hope they don't get caught in that thing."

"Are those your friends?" Caesar laughed "What a shame…they'll soon be dead, just like this whole island. It will become a land of death and nothing outside this lab will survive!"

"Not-Even-You." Caesar gloated as the cage tilted back. "I'll prove to the world just how dangerous my gas it, when even a Warlord, the most wanted pirates in the world, and a Marine Vice Admiral are killed!"

The cage moved to the outside and me were now overlooking Smoker's marines.

"I hadn't planned on Vergo being here." Law said "But it changes nothing, the plan remains…it is time for our counterattack!"

"Really?"

"Yes we have to settle this quickly." Law said "Can anyone in here burn things…even if you can't it will be fine."

"Franky and Wyper have stuff that can burn." Luffy said "Franky can shoot a beam and Steve's got fire powers."

"I'm stuck Luffy." I told him "That's not possible."

"And with my arms tied back like this I can't." Franky told him.

"And all my shit got jacked when we got caught." Wyper added "All I have left is my jet boots."

"Do you think you can burn that battleship down there?"

"Easy enough." Franky pulled his head back "Franky Fireball!"

The ship burst into flames and smoke started pluming up towards us.

"Jeez it's getting smoky." Wyper complained "What was the point of that?"

"Well then." Law said shaking off his chains "Now they can't see us on the screen."

"How could you take off those chains?" Luffy asked.

"Mine were normal, how much time do you think I spent here I switched out the real Seastone chains for fakes as a precautions."

Law quickly cut the rest of us free and switched Smoker and Tashigi back to normal. Tashigi was able to reason Smoker into letting us free them and helping them get off the island.

"I'm going down there." Luffy said jumping out.

"Luffy wait!" Robin and I said following after him.

"We can go in over here." He pointed.

"How did you get out?!" Law snapped in anger.

"Luffy!" Franky yelled out "We're going to find Sunny, we'll catch up later okay!"

"Go ahead!" Luffy yelled as Law teleported himself, Smoker and Tashigi down to us. We went in the side door Luffy had found and opened the front shutters for the Marines.

"This is getting fun!" Luffy laughed.

Once the marines were in, we closed the shutter, which lasted for about twenty seconds before Zoro cut it open with the Samurai's help.

"It's Zoro and the others." I pointed out.

"We're all here." Luffy laughed "Then let's get started!"

"If they break the door…" Robin sighed "The gas will flow inside."

"YOU IDIOTS!"

"What's the situation outside Brook?" Rose asked as the soul returned to the skeleton's body.

"A world of death…exactly as described, had we not closed that shutter…"

"Freeze pirate scum!"

It seems the marines who's lives we just saved were keen on turning the tables on us and wanted to arrest the crew on the ground.

"Oh really?" Rose raised an eyebrow.

"That ain't gonna happen." Zoro said shaking his head.

"You should quit that before you get hurt." Sanji told them.

"Hey Trafalgar!" I heard Nami yelled "Switch us back!"

Law crossed his fingers and the two returned to normal.

"Listen you two." Law looked at Smoker ad Tashigi "just stay out of our way okay."

"Listen Up!" Law yelled addressing the crowd "We are surrounded by poison gas and there is only one way to escape, the door to the dock by the sea, it's the one with the words R-building written on it. I'm not trying to condemn you, but you have two hours at best. I can't guarantee the safety of anyone after that time."

"What's gonna happen to the lab?" I asked

"Something that will make it unsafe."

"Two hours…" I said "That's more than enough time for me…Let's go Robin!"

"Yes!"

Rose's POV

"Wait what?" Zoro said pushing back Marines.

"Open your ears dingbat." I growled "You heard Usopp."

"Caesar said he suffocated Luffy by absorbing the oxygen."

"We got bested by those yeti dudes too." Usopp commented.

"It can't go on like this…or we'll all end up dead…" Zoro growled "Luffy! I'm not joking, get serious! This is the New World, not some party!"

"No reason to be so harsh." I giggled.

"Yeah!" Luffy yelled "I'll be more careful!"

Luffy bowled over some guys and kept charging forward.

"Usopp!" Robin yelled "We need you to procure us a set of Seastone cuffs okay!"

"What…yeah sure!" he called back "Where are you two going?!"

"Bird hunting!" Steve said.

What…?

"I don't get what Law meant with his time limit but we need to get moving." I told the others.

"Easier said than done…they don't seem too keen on letting us pass." Kin'emon said looking at the Marines blocking out path.

"Then we make them move." Zoro said drawing his swords.

"Get out of our way!" We said cutting passed them all.

"This is our chance!" One of the Marines pulled back to slash at Zoro.

"I told you to move!" he glared.

*Clang!*

"Ohh~ it's the copycat."

"Ta-shi-gi!" I smiled.

"Just…move along." She told us before turning to her men "Listen, this isn't the time for fighting hurry and move forward to the passage."

"Hey guys." I pointed forward "The gate is closing. They're trying to lock us in with the gas!"

We moved in and passed through before the gate closed. Once we were through, I flipped over and slid to a stop.

"Rose?!"

"You all keep going I'll catch up!" I yelled back.

"Keep it moving folks." I said waving the marines in "That gas is quick you gotta hurry!"

It didn't help that the roof ruptured and more gas pumped in.

"Ouch!" I grunted when I got smacked in the face by a person "Tashigi…get off you're heavy!"

She was quick to jump up and run back towards the door, but her men stopped her.

"Move! There are still people out there!"

I brushed myself off and heard Tashigi's men trying to calm her down. I peeked out the door.

She came flying in but why?

I looked through the crack in the door.

"No…way…they didn't…"

"Let me go!"

"You can't Tashigi!" I yelled trying to stop her screaming.

"What would you know, my people are out there!"

"There's nothing more you can do!" I screamed grabbing her shoulders "You can't go back!"

"You all did really well…" I smiled "Form here on just leave her to me okay."

"NOOO!"

"Let's move!" I yelled grabbing her wrist "On to the next room!"
