Entering a huge living room, Zoro and Azelma immediately felt beads of sweat appear on their foreheads. While it was freezing outside the building, the room he was in felt like a real sauna.
Perhaps this was why a couple of people were lying peacefully on sofas, the man in a loincloth and the woman in a bikini.
Behind Zoro and Azelma, Aristote bowed.
"Don Accino... Lady Yvelina... if you want anything else, don't hesitate to call me."
"I don't think we'll need your services again." Yvelina said. "If it's okay with you, could you go check on our children? They've been gone for a while."
"It will be done." The butler assured her, before leaving.
Once he closed the door, Accino looked at his 'guests'.
"Roronoa Zoro! I must admit to be surprised to see you come to my house! Usually, my targets don't come here of their own free will."
"Sorry to disappoint you, but I had no intention of visiting you." The pirate retorted. "We found this place by chance! However, I admit that I am not unhappy to be here."
Already having his hand on one of his sabers, he declared.
"I'm giving you the chance to protect your family! Tell us how to get out of this damn ice maze."
"Oh?" The obese man said, sipping a glass of wine. "I find you very rude to want to leave so quickly! Do I seem like a bad host? I have done nothing to deserve such hostility."
"We know who you are." Azelma retorted. "You're the father of the people who attacked us! Besides..."
Looking at the many pirate flags that covered the walls of the room, she stated.
"It's obvious you're hunting pirates."
Yawning, Accino scratched his stomach, retorting.
"Truly, capturing pirates doesn't interest me much! Today, I'm a rich man! And honestly, capturing pirates to maintain justice in this world is certainly not one of my priorities."
"Huh?" the former slave wondered. "Then why did you attack us?"
"All I care about is stealing your most precious possession," Don Accino said. "I want your Jolly Roger."
" What ? "
"Don't just say what interests you." Yvelina retorted. "Sorry, but all I want is the reward money! I have nothing personal against pirates! But I admit to being a very materialistic woman! For me, shopping is a drug! I always want to buy what can make others jealous."
"Seriously?" Zoro asked. "So, no matter what, you want to capture us."
Yet, seeming to examine him, Yvelina approached him, all the while declaring.
"Now that I look at you, you're kind of cute! If I were twenty years younger, maybe I would have made you my lover."
"What?" Zoro and Azelma wondered.
"I have a very cute daughter," Yvelina said. "And she's almost single! In fact, judging by the look on the baboon's face that I have to consider my son-in-law, I think she's either blind or has bad taste."
"What are you talking about?" Zoro asked.
"I admit that turning you over to the Navy for 120 million berries is very interesting," Yvelina said. "But I have no desire for a baboon to be the father of the first grandchild I might have! So, marry my daughter, and I will spare you."
"No way." Zoro retorted. "I'm a free man! I certainly wouldn't let you force me to love someone! Besides, I'm already interested in someone else."
"Oh? And you would be willing to put this relationship at the risk of dying?" Yvelina asked.
"I'd rather die than betray her feelings." Zoro growled.
Immediately, Yvelina saw Azelma staring at Zoro, while starting to blush completely. Then, suddenly, the former slave slapped the back of Zoro's head.
"HEY!" the man roared. " Why did you hit me?"
Immediately turning her face away, Azelma seemed to avoid his gaze. Yet, anyone could have understood that she had been happy to hear Zoro speak in this manner. In any case, Yvelina seemed to quickly understand the situation.
"I see... So, you two have a special relationship."
Staring at Azelma, she began to sigh.
"Honestly, why are you attracted to this cripple? Sure, she's pretty but... for the rest of her life, it's obvious that she'll be a burden! Concretely, do you plan on carrying her and taking care of her for the rest of your life? I could find you a thousand reasons why my daughter would be a better suitor than this cripple."
Hearing this, Azelma couldn't help but lower her gaze. After all, Yvelina was right. From the state of her legs, it was obvious that there were many more negative sides to living with her than positive.
"Yeah! Azelma is definitely not someone who has only qualities." Zoro affirmed. "She has no self-esteem... she has no self-confidence... she constantly thinks as if she were an object... she's never had a chance in life... and she's crippled."
Yet, staring at Yvelina, Zoro growled.
"But even if your daughter has thousands of qualities more than Azelma, she will always have a defect that I could never accept.
"And what is this defect?"
"She's not Azelma." Zoro affirmed.
Again, Azelma's cheeks turned completely red. And again, she hit the back of Zoro's head.
"WILL YOU STOP HITTING ME?"
For her part, Yvelina had also lowered her gaze and seemed angry.
"You dare to reject my daughter?"
Yet, raising her face, she suddenly began to cry and put a handkerchief under her cheek to wipe away her tears.
"OUIIIIIINNNNNN! Why won't my daughter marry a badass hottie like you? Why does my son-in-law have to be a baboon? Because of that, my grandchildren will be ugly! OUUUUIIIIIINNNNN!"
Again, Zoro and Azelma were surprised by her behavior. For his part, Accino started laughing.
"HAHAHAHA! I have to admit, you've got a lot of guts! Usually, the pirates I come across run away like cowards! It's been a long time since I've come across a guy like you."
Then, grabbing his large bottle of wine, he declared.
"Come over here and let's talk! I've got some great alcohol for you to drink."
"Because you honestly think we have time to waste on you?" Zoro growled.
Yet, ten minutes later, the swordsman was laughing out loud, while Accino served him another glass of alcohol.
"WOW! This wine is excellent."
"Isn't it? I bought some vineyards in South-Blue that produce very rare grapes! I can say for sure that I have never drunk better wine than this."
"Really? It must be every man's dream to be able to produce alcohol to drink whenever he wants."
"I think the same as you." Accino said, drinking his.
"Darling! Watch your alcohol consumption a bit." Yvelina ordered, sipping a cocktail. "Last time you drank that much, you ended up with a headache and you were in a bad mood."
"Once in a while, it can't hurt! Besides, it's been a long time since we had guests."
And while Zoro and Accino continued drinking, Azelma was sitting on a cushion, with a glass of juice in her hand, and trying to understand what was happening.
"What's going on?"
"I want you to give it back to me."
"Huh?" Brindo wondered.
Staring at him, Luffy declared.
"I want you to give me back my Jolly Roger."
With his arms crossed, Brindo tilted his head slightly to the side, looking surprised. Finally, he started laughing.
"HAHAHAHA! And you seriously think I'm going to obey you? Why would I do that?"
"If you refuse, I'll kick your ass." Luffy said.
"Because you think you can defeat me?" Brindo asked, with a confident smile.
Suddenly, he saw a figure position itself next to his face.
"Huh?" the man wondered, turning his face to see a ghost. "A GHOST?"
Hatterene use PSYBEAM.
Immediately, an explosion took place as Brindo was thrown backwards.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Hatterene use KNOCK OFF.
Opening one eye, as he was about to hit the ship's floor, Brindo saw Hatterene following him to attack him again. However, despite his poor position, the man managed to press his hands against the ship's deck and managed to perform a sufficient push to perform an aerial pirouette.
With no time to stop, Hatterene slammed into the floor and smashed some wooden boards.
"You missed me." Brindo stated, landing on his feet.
However, Luffy's fist suddenly appeared in front of him.
" PISTOL ! "
Hit in the face, Brindo fell on his back with a bloody nose.
"AHHHHHH!"
"Tell me where my Jolly Roger is." Luffy ordered, cracking his knuckles.
"Tsssss!" Brindo growled, standing up, while putting a hand on his nose. "You're really ready to go to that much effort to get a stupid piece of cloth? Pirates really are people I couldn't understand."
Managing to wipe the blood from his nose, he declared.
"You are nothing but trash incapable of using your brains! That's why it's easy for us to capture you.
With a mocking smile, Sarko dodged Gin's tonfa, as the pirate felt his foot slip on the ice.
" DAMN IT ! "
"You are too predictable," Sarko said.
Then, lifting his foot, he used the blade of his ice skate to cut Sarkozy's abdomen.
"ARRRRRRGGHHH!" Gin shouted, as a wound appeared on his abdomen.
For her part, Velvet created a red sphere in her hand before throwing it towards Arbell. However, sliding on the ice with agility, the young woman dodged the attack without worry. Then, performing an aerial pirouette, she let herself come back down towards Velvet while directing her foot towards her skull.
"I'll crush your skull."
However, Velvet managed to dodge, jumping backwards. Unfortunately, she lost her balance when she put her feet on the ground, and the demon fell onto the ice.
"You're so pathetic." Arbell stated, rushing towards her to finish her off.
However, she had to stop, as a sphere of fire passed by her.
" What ? "
Getting up, Gin aimed his flaming tonfa at her.
"How could he attack me from a distance with a weapon like his?" the young woman asked.
Wanting to attack her again, Gin cried out in pain, feeling Sarko slash his back with his ice skate.
"Vermin should learn to stay on the ground."
"I totally agree with you."
Thinking to finish Gin off, Sarko displayed a frightened look seeing the man remain standing, while he turned towards him.
"A demon?" the figure skater wondered, as Gin aimed his second tonfa at him.
"Vermin should stay on the ground," the pirate said, punching him hard.
Having his ribs on the left side of his abdomen pulverized, Sarko also felt his body hit the Thunder Dial welded to Gin's weapon. As a result, in addition to being hit, the man was electrocuted.
" KYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAA ! "
Finally, he collapsed to the ground, spitting smoke.
" SARKO ! " Arbell cried.
"And that's one thing done." Gin said.
However, tilting his face back, he dodged Arbell's ice skate blade at the last minute.
"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"
Even though he had managed to avoid being decapitated, Gin felt the blade cut into his cheek.
"I'm not like our cook! I wouldn't hesitate to pulverize you."
Seeing him twirl his tonfa, Arbell stepped back to dodge his attack. Then, she slashed his arm. Even though Gin had a new injury, he continued to attack Arbell. Performing various dodges, followed by counterattacks, the young woman managed to inflict damage on her opponent. However, despite his injuries, Gin continued to attack, as if he felt nothing.
"What's wrong with this guy?" Arbell asked, slowing the pace of his attacks.
Seeing this, Gin prepared to strike her again. However, the duo suddenly jumped back, to dodge a block of ice that had been thrown towards them.
" What ? "
"Don't ignore me." Velvet roared, grabbing another large chunk of ice.
"HEY!" Gin roared. "I remind you that we are allies."
Ignoring him, the demoness glared at Arbell angrily, as she crushed the block of ice between her demonic fingers. Shattering it, she then sent the pieces of ice towards her opponent. Seeing hundreds of projectiles flying towards her, Arbell quickly fled.
However, breaking another block of ice, Velvet continued to target her. Then, suddenly, two pieces of ice pierced Arbell's leg.
"AHHHHHHH!" the young woman screamed as she fell onto the ice.
Screaming in pain, she grabbed her injured leg, which was starting to bleed. Seeing her on the ground, Velvet approached her, making blades appear at the soles of her boots.
"It's time to finish you."
However, it was at that moment that a foot hit her right in the face. Her nose crushed, Velvet spat out blood before flying backwards. Stunned, Gin then saw her crash into the wall of an iceberg, before falling to the ground, unconscious.
" What ? "
Now being with Arbell, Aristotle looked at the wounded young woman.
"Aristotle..." the young woman murmured, recognizing the butler.
"Lady Arbell! Forgive me for not coming sooner."
Then, directing his gaze towards Gin, he declared.
"Give me enough time to defeat this guy! I'll make sure to heal you afterward."
"Tssss!" Gin growled. "Hey, old man! Cee, just because you managed to surprise Velvet doesn't mean you can claim to be able to defeat me."
Staring at him, Aristotle declared.
"Your reasoning is not without sense! Unfortunately, I fear that you are unable to force me to consider you as a powerful opponent."
Raising three of his fingers, Aristotle affirmed.
"I'm in a hurry! Therefore, I will only give you three seconds of my time."
Hearing this, Gin felt an angry vein appear on his forehead.
"Three seconds? Perfect!"
Then he rushed to Aristotle.
"That's exactly how long it takes me to defeat you."
The next second, his tonfa was thrown towards the butler's face. And so it was that the fight lasted only two seconds.
Having simply lowered his head, Aristotle had avoided Gin's weapon, before directing his elbow towards his opponent.
Since Skypiea, Gin had done various trainings to harden his body and it was thanks to that that he was able to defeat Blueno. However, with wide eyes, Gin had felt Aristotle's elbow target his throat before crushing his Adam's palm.
Dropping both his weapons, Gin then stepped back, before placing his hands on his neck. Making strange noises, the man felt unable to breathe. Finally, deprived of oxygen, he collapsed on the ground before losing consciousness.
"Pitiful!" Aristotle said.
Managing to leave the depths of the ocean, Franky's submarine appeared on the surface. Still clinging to it, Shashi and Penguin pulled their heads out of the water before taking deep breaths.
"Damn it! I really thought I was going to die."
"Being beaten by chickens? What a humiliation."
Opening the hatch of the submarine, Nami pulled her upper body out of the craft, looking exhausted.
"Damn it! I hate this place."
Then, looking around, she declared.
"Because of those damn penguins, we are unable to know where the Sunny is."
"Don't worry," Franky said. "I implanted a sensor that activates once I get more than three kilometers away from the Sunny! With that, Pouky will be able to guide the others to us."
Suddenly, Nami got pushed, while Wiper wanted to get out of the desk pad.
"Damn it! I'm sick of being stuck in this tin can! I want to fight! Where are those damn chickens?"
Bird cries answered him. Turning around, the Shandian saw hundreds of penguins on a block of ice, staring at them.
"YOU!" Wiper roared, aiming his bazooka at them.
Unfortunately, it was at this moment that a gigantic shadow appeared on the surface of the water. Then, a huge silhouette came out of the ocean, behind the submarine.
" That ... ? "
Having raised its head above the water, a gigantic penguin, even larger than the penguin generals, stared at the craft in front of it.
"What's that?" Nami asked in fear.
In response, the penguin began to scream and created vibrations similar to shock waves. Feeling as if their bodies were vibrating, the pirates cried out in pain, while trying in vain to cover their ears.
Still facing Imposta and Hockera, Lucy and Sanji thought they heard the cry of a penguin.
"What is this?"
"It seems Don Animus has introduced himself to your friends." Imposta remarked.
" Don ... Animus ? "
"Just like humans, penguins live in a hierarchy," Hockera said. "The penguins you fought are the weakest! Then there are the three penguin generals: Mizaru, Kikazaru, and Iwazaru! And finally, there is their leader: Don Animus! My father fought against him and defeated him! That's why these penguins are afraid of us."
"And thanks to my power, it's easy to give him orders or understand what he's doing even if he's miles away." Imposta said. "For example, he just yelled to inform me that he found several intruders."
With a mocking smile, the young woman affirmed.
"Your friends were unlucky to have met him."
"It's your penguin who was unlucky." Lucy retorted. "Whether it's animals or your family members, we will never lose."
Then, she swung her whip. However, instead of hitting Imposta, the tip of her weapon slammed into the ceiling and managed to hit it hard enough to knock chunks of ice off.
Forced to jump to dodge them, Imposta then saw Lucy propel herself towards her. Using her Jet Dials at her ankles, Lucy approached her at full speed, before raising her leg.
" LUCY JET KICK !"
Surprised by her speed, Imposta couldn't avoid her attack. As a result, she quickly transformed into a penguin. Letting her belly triple in size, she allowed Lucy to hit her with ease. However, using her animal body to cushion the impact, Imposta retreated a few meters, while still managing to stay standing.
"The penguin fruit may seem useless, considering I can't swim," Imposta said. "Nevertheless, penguins have very sturdy bodies, despite their small size."
Then, Imposta took back her human body before propelling herself towards Lucy. Finding herself in front of her, she made a beak appear at the front of her face and wanted to use it to pierce Lucy's body.
Heracross use HORN ATTACK.
Letting his horn hit Imposta's beak, the pokemon had no trouble stopping her before pushing her away.
Seeing this, Hockera targeted him, before throwing several hockey pucks towards him.
"I'm going to freeze you."
Heracross use PIN ATTACK.
Hitting the projectiles, Heracross' attack managed to destroy them and created smoke.
"What?" Hockera wondered, as the smoke blocked his view.
" CONCASSE ! "
Jumping into the air, Sanji then spun around before coming back down towards where Hockera was.
" MIZARU ! " Shouted Imposa.
Immediately, one of the two penguin generals positioned itself in front of Hockera before blowing an ice breath. Hit by the attack, Sanji felt himself slow down as his body began to freeze.
Because of this, Hockera and Mizaru were able to jump back to dodge his attack.
"Damn it!" Sanji growled, as his foot only hit the ice.
"IWAZARU!" Shouted Imposta
Immediately, the second penguin appeared behind Sanji and let a spear of ice come out of its mouth. Barely having time to turn around, the cook saw the weapon propel itself towards him, in order to freeze him.
However, creating a wall of wool, Aries positioned herself in front of him. Unfortunately, hitting her protection, the ice weapon froze the wall before shattering it into pieces.
"I'm sorry." Aries apologized. "My wool isn't effective against those kinds of attacks.
Wanting to take advantage of this, Imposta propelled herself towards Aries, to pierce her with her beak. However, raising his foot, Sanji protected Lucy's spirit while he managed to hit Imposta's beak. Seeing him do it, while the cook and Imposta tried to push the other away, Lucy rushed towards the duo, knowing that Sanji was not going to do anything to counterattack.
Yet, she was completely surprised, seeing Sanji move his hips and send his second leg towards Imposta's face. Reacting in time, the young woman tilted her head back, while Sanji's foot only grazed her beak.
"Tssss! Finally, the knight decides to attack the princess?"
" Sanji ? " Said Lucy.
As surprised as she was, Sanji seemed undecided.
"It disgusts me to hit her! But yet, compared to usual, I feel like my body doesn't consider her as a woman."
Looking at Imposta, Sanji stated.
"She's strange! It's like I'm not fighting a woman."
"What are you talking about?" Imposta roared.
Taking advantage of her remaining motionless, Heracross attacked her.
Heracross use PIN MISSILE.
Hit by the attack, Imposta was thrown backwards. And at the same time, she lost her scarf as well as... her hair.
Surprised, Sanji and Lucy saw her fall back to her feet, while a wig fell to the ground.
" Huh ? "
Instead of a girl with long silver hair, the pirates saw a woman with very short brown hair. However, that was not all. Moving in a strange way, one of her breasts began to slide down, before falling out of her clothes. But instead of a breast, it was only a ball of socks, which must have been placed in her bra to give the impression of having a large chest.
And finally, now that her scarf was no longer hiding her neck, Imposta put her hand on her throat. However, Lucy and Sanji had been able to see the small bump that was there. Imposta had an Adam's apple. And it was by seeing all this that Lucy understood Sanji's behavior.
Imposta was not a woman. She was a man.
