Wyper's POV
"Key number 6. That's no good, can't help those two with this."
"I got 4." Franky said walking up "The only one who could have it is the secretary we should hurry up and go take care of her."
"Chopper mentioned that Sanji got taken out by her and that Nami went to fight her." I explained "Let's hurry."
"Who knows how tough the rest of them will be. I need to stock up on cola just to be safe."
"Fine, we can check on Chopper while were up there."
"I wonder what happened to the reindeer."
Franky climbed up the side of the building and I wasn't far behind him.
"What the hell is that?!"
A giant goliath was standing before us. It looked like a yeti of some kind, and it was holding that guy Chopper locked in the fridge. It lifted its arm and threw the man across the island like it was no problem, it was like a child playing with a doll.
"Wasn't that deer wearing a hat like that?" Franky said.
The monster was wearing a pink top hat, just like Chopper's.
It can't be.
"Chopper?! Is that you?!"
It's like he doesn't recognize me.
"It's Wyper, your friend."
The beast just roared and slammed its open palm into me and Franky.
"Oh shit!"
Steve's POV
Lucci was sitting there playing around with a transponder snail.
Spandam's voice was coming from the other end "I triggered the Buster Call!"
"That idiot!"
"What have you done?!"
That was Robin's voice.
"Where is she speaking from?" I asked.
"Behind that door." Lucci said pointing behind him.
"Shave Kick!"
I've seen Sanji enough to know proper form
Lucci blocked my heel with his elbow.
"I won't let you pass."
Luffy came up behind me and punched at Lucci's stomach.
"Finger Pistol!"
I dropped to avoid the stabbing motion.
"Whip Lash!"Â I swung at Lucci's legs but he jumped over it.
"HA!" Lucci punched forward and I punched at him as well.
The two punches collided and I felt like my arm was gonna break. The force of the two blows moved even the air in the room. I slid back towards some boxes which were being tossed around in the wind.
"Robin's right behind that door right?"
"Yes she's right there. But you'll never see her again."
"Get out of my way!" I charged forward "Shave Lock! Luffy!"
I pinned Lucci's arms back and Luffy came up and punched him in the gut.
"Stern-Breaker!"Â I lifted Lucci up and slammed his head into the ground.
I don't have to beat this guy I just have to get to Robin.
I made a dash for the door but Lucci got up and kicked me away "You're not going anywhere."
"Gatling!"Â Luffy threw a box towards Lucci and started punching is sending splinters raining throughout the air.
Lucci caught his foot and went to punch him in the face.
"Luffy duck!" Luffy lowered his slightly and I moved my foot up "Tempest Kick!"
I focused my strength in my legs like I saw Blueno do and kicked the air as hard as possible to create a wave of condensed air that I sent over Luffy's head and at Lucci.
He dropped Luffy to get into a defensive stance; I had taken him off guard with that attack.
"Gum-Gum Bazooka!"
Lucci blocked one of Luffy's strongest attacks with just his leg "You two are getting annoying."
Rose's POV
"Finger Pistol!"
"I thought I told you not to touch me you dirty mutt! Blade Edge!" I reached forward to try and stab Jabra's eye but the giraffe's neck slammed into me and threw me across the room.
"Ten-Fold Pistol!"Â I looked up to see Jabra's claws closing in on me but a sword blocked it "Zoro."
"Get up!"
"Right!" I said running away from the wolf.
"Look there's only one thing we can do." Zoro said "We play rock, paper, scissors and the loser will have his hand cut off."
"That's ridiculous!" Usopp and I yelled.
"The loser can take his hand right to Chopper and have him sow it back on."
"No way!" I yelled "What if you don't get there in time, what if it kills you! Besides who's to say the limb will even stay on after that! It's too dangerous, no!"
"Fine I have another plane." Zoro said tugging Usopp around "Listen up Sogeking, you are now a sword."
"Someone help me, Chopper!"
"You two look even more ridiculous." I groaned.
The phones in CP9's pocket's started ringing and the answered it.
"I triggered the Buster Call!"
"Oh this is bad!" Usopp yelled.
"We need to finish up here and get to the Gates of Justice." Kaku told Jabra.
"Your name will be Nose-storm."
"Are you even paying attention!" I yelled.
Adding to the massive amount of troubles we were having the wall in the back of the room exploded and another monster came in.
"AHH!"
"RUN!"
We booked it away from the goliath that was chasing us.
"What is that thing?!" I asked in a panic.
"It looks like Chopper." Usopp said "Look at the horns and the hat."
"Then why doesn't he recognize us?" Zoro asked.
"I don't know keep running!"
"What are we gonna do about Key number 2?" Usopp asked "Are we gonna die?"
"Something's wrong with him." Zoro pointed out "He looks like he's about to keel over."
"It must take an incredible amount of energy to maintain that form. His vitality is dropping rapidly."
"Eliminate the interruption!" Kaku and Jabra went to attack the monster Chopper.
"Straighten your back." Zoro told Usopp "36 Caliber Phoenix."
I picked some Knives off the floor and threw them "Blade Fan!"
The attacks forced the CP9 agents to not attack Chopper and block us instead.
"Move it!" Franky yelled entering the room.
"Franky what are you doing?" I asked "That's our friend."
"I know so move it. This is the only way. Devil Fruit power has one weakness, water. I'll push him into the ocean. Coup De Vent!" he blasted out compressed air and Chopper was knocked out of the building, Franky ran after him to go make sure he didn't drown.
"You bastard!"
"Relax it was part of the plan." Nami said entering the room.
"Here's your damn key." Wyper said throwing it to me.
"Ready to start fighting back?" I asked unlocking the cuffs.
"So you're finally free huh?"
"Don't laugh." Zoro told them "Because you just lost your last chance to kill me."
"Shouldn't have argued as much and you might have killed at least one of us." I pointed a knife at them "Now you're going down!"
"We've wasted too much time on you."
"Hurry up and get their keys." Nami yelled.
"Tempest Kick: Line!"Â A straight line pierced the area between us and Zoro moved to block it.
I dashed forward towards Kaku "I told you your neck will be a weakness."
"I have the muscles to move it as needed Nose Gun!"
Zoro jumped forward, blocked the attack and bent Kaku's neck to send him towards a rock. Kaku impaled the rock and left a square indent, Kaku then flailed his neck to free his nose and the rock slammed into Wyper.
"Oh boy." I flipped back and picked a dagger up off the floor "Maybe I was a little too confident."
"Usopp!"
I locked over saw that Jabra was holding Usopp up and was ready to kill him. Wyper was stuck under the rock Kaku had just drilled into before
"Please don't kill him we don't need your key!" Nami begged.
"You'll be next. Now die!"
Jabra's claw closed in on Usopp, but he was kicked away.
"What the hell?"
"Sanji!"
Wyper's POV
I gotta get my foot free or long-nose is gonna die.
"Now Die!"
"Usopp!"
The wolf was getting closer and there was nothing I could do, then he got kicked across the room.
"Sanji!"
"Sanji how'd you get back to normal?" Nami asked.
"A bathtub fell from the heavens and removed my curse." Sanji explained "but enough of that, do you love me now Nami?!"
"I wish the tub had hit you."
I finally managed to roll the rock off my foot.
Doesn't feel broken.
"I'm sorry I couldn't beat him." Usopp said.
"It's fine, all that matters is that you're alive. Everyone has something they can and can't do." Sanji told him "Look outside. The Gates of Justice are starting to open. Soon Robin will be in a place we can't reach."
"No way, those two didn't make it!" Nami gasped.
"It just keeps getting worse." I groaned.
"Leave this key to me." Sanji said "I'll do what you can't you do what I can't."
"I don't…"
"Think carefully, understand the situation. If you get there, we can save Robin! Think Usopp!"
"Shave!"
"Now Go!" The cook raised his leg to block.
"Come on you two." I said grabbing Usopp and Nami and skating off "Do you understand Long-Nose?"
"I understand…I need to get to the roof."
Rose's POV
"Quit being a pain in the ass. Buzz Saw Slicer!"
"Iron Body!"
I spun in the air and grinded against Kaku's back but I just rolled off due to his defenses.
"Two Sword Style: Nigiri!"Â Zoro slashed up and then brought his swords back down.
Kaku flailed his neck around and slammed into Zoro. I came at him from behind while he was distracted by Zoro.
"Sunset Shower!"Â my knife cut into Kaku but it didn't go far enough to do damage "His neck's too thick!"
"Nose Gun!"
I saw what that attack did to the rock earlier and had no intention of taking it head on.
"Sickle Claw!"Â I held the nose against my curved blades "Zoro!"
"Oni Giri!"
"Iron Body!"
Zoro slashed through the neck but it was still in one piece.
"Damn."
"If I could just have dug into his neck a little more." I said.
"Too bad I no longer have any weak spots." Kaku said bending his neck around his body "Perfect Square."
"Oh come on!" "How can you fight like that?"
"Did you know Giraffes have four legs? Tempest Kick!" Kaku just sat there wiggling his feet.
"That just looks sad." I commented.
"My attack has already started."
"Hmm?"
"Those attacks will be reflected by the roof. Giraffe Rain!"
A shower of those shockwaves fell from the ceiling. There were too many, Zoro was blocking a good amount but I was being cut to shreds.
If I hadn't pulled my jacket apart I could just use the bladed defense to block these attacks.
I pulled myself off the floor and started putting my broadsword together. It was the only thing I had that could cut into his neck.
"You two are remarkably strong willed. It's amazing."
"20,000 Thorn Broadsword! Don't compliment me dirt bag. Thorn Slash!" I said swinging.
Come on do it!
"Iron Body!"
Yes!
"Detach Blade Lasso!"Â the sword snapped off and wrapped around Kaku's neck to hold it out straight "Zoro break it."
"One Sword Style Drawing Strike: Lion's Song!"
"Tempest Kick!"
I darted out of Zoro's way and brought my sword back to me.
"You're a pain in the ass." Zoro sighed taking in a breath and making his arms huge.
How'd he do that?
Zoro and Kaku clashed sending out a shock wave that rippled the air itself.
"I'll show you the true power of the giraffe." Kaku pulled his neck back "Giraffe Cannon!"
"There is no Giraffe shaped like that." I told him.
"Ultimate Nose Gun!"Â The neck shot out so fast I didn't even see it coming.
Zoro jumped out of the way and I tried to block the attack with my sword.
It's cracking!
My sword broke apart into its components and Kaku's nose slammed it my stomach.
"GAH!"
I got pinned between the nose and the wall.
"That long neck will get you killed." Zoro said going to slash it.
"Not so fast!" Kaku spun his neck out of Zoro's reach and kicked a wave at him as his body spun "Now you're wide open!"
Kaku tried to do that thing with his neck again but this time his arms and legs got long instead.
"What is with your body?!" I yelled struggling to get off the floor.
"It's kinda like a pasta machine; you have to push the flour out…Pasta Machine!"
"Don't name your attack on the spot!"
"Ultimate Nose Gun!"
"Tatsumaki!"Â Zoro's whirlwind hit the underside of Kaku's neck and moved the attack out of our way.
"Knife Rain!"Â I started throwing dozens of dagger at Kaku as he jumped through the air.
"He went up a floor." Zoro pointed out.
Kaku quickly came back with his swords from before saying he would maximize the giraffe's power with Four Sword Style. The two once again exchanged sword strikes until Zoro spun at Kaku.
He's wide open!
I rushed forward and went for Kaku center.
"Dual Strike!"Â I dashed straight forward and cut through his center of mass with two twin daggers.
"I underestimated you, well no more! Tempest Kick: Shuriken!"
Zoro and I were forced to block more of those damn waves.
"Nose Gun!"Â The nose came straight at me and I tried to get out of the way "This neck is like a whip!"
The neck slammed me into the ground "GAH!"
"More speed! Fierce Smash!"
The hits kept coming faster "AHH!"
Kaku pulled out his swords to finish me off but Zoro managed to block them. The two traded attacks again as I sat there in a heap on the floor.
It hurts.
Zoro's arms blocked the attacks so well it looked like he had six arms.
I must have banged my head.
Kaku started spinning in place again "What are you gonna do block the attack for yourself or the injured girl?"
"Don't worry about me Zoro!"
"Leave her out of this. Demon Aura Nine Sword Style: Asura!"
His body!
Zoro had three heads and six arms.
What is this!?
"Sky Slicer!"
The wave passed over us and Zoro cut through it and Kaku.
"Asura: Silver Mist!"
And just like that the heads and arms faded away.
What the hell just happened?
"I have a message." Zoro told him "You're fired."
"Assassin doesn't really fit well on a resume." Kaku joked.
"You can always try the zoo." I said getting off the floor.
Kaku laughed, took his key out of his pocket and collapsed.
"Let's get going." Zoro said.
