Steve's POV
"Excuse me, coming through!" Luffy yelled as we fought our way through dozens of guards.
"Asking won't make them move." I explained.
Luffy jumped on a man's back and wrapped his arms and legs around the other man's.
"Gum-Gum Allied Robot!"
"Get off that guy!" I yelled.
"Robo Punch!"Â Luffy punched a few of the man's allies and jumped off when some marines tried to stab him.
Some men slashed at me but I easily sidestepped them.
"Whip Lash!"Â I tripped the men and Luffy and I kept moving forward.
Luffy jumped over some men and grabbed the handles of the gate in front of us.
"Sorry we have to keep going." Luffy explained "But our friends will be by later."
Luffy threw the two of us over the gate and into the main part of the island. We landed in an open street surrounded by soldiers.
"Give up you're surrounded."
"Could have picked a better landing zone Luffy." I mumbled.
"Move you're in our way." Luffy told them.
"Let's just make them move, Whip Crush!" I slammed my whips in a vertical line and took out a number of men blocking our way.
"Gum-Gum Stamp!"Â Luffy kicked more of the men out of our way.
I ducked under a few sword swings and jumped into the air. I did a cartwheel midair and attacked again.
"Whip Cyclone!"
I felt a pain in my chest that gave me a strange feeling that Robin was in danger so I knew we had to move faster.
"Luffy hurry it up!"
Luffy spun his body and attacked more of the men "Gum-Gum Storm!"
My whips wrapped around a man's shoulders "Whip Tornado!" I spun around threw the man into his allies knocking over a couple dozen.
I knocked in the door of a nearby building and Luffy went inside it for some reason.
"Stick together dumbass!"
I struck down a few more men that tried to ambush me when I saw Luffy's leg burst out of the building he had gone into. He knocked over one of the walls and started attacking it and sending huge chunks of rubble falling down towards me.
"I'm still down here!"
I pushed my way through the crowd to avoid the trap Luffy had just created, luckily I wasn't squished and Luffy ran past me and we kept moving deeper into the island.
Rose's POV
"It's been five minutes let's go."
"Zoro you're going to have to cut down the fence." I explained.
"I'll get it done." He said going to the top of the train.
A few seconds passed and we got closer and closer to the island.
"We have a problem. Hang on." Kokoro said over the loudspeaker.
"What's the matter you shitty swordsman?" Sanji said leaning out the window.
"The gate's closed." He explained.
"We're gonna crash!" "What'd we do, what'd we do!" "Turn the train around."
"Don't worry we can still get passed." Zoro said "Frog, push down the fence."
Yokozuna slapped the fence and the metal bent and curved.
"You're making a ramp?!" I yelled.
We hit the ramp at such a speed that we got launched into the air and flew over the gate.
"We're flying." I observed.
"We're gonna die!" Usopp yelled.
"Hey dumbass how are we gonna land?" Wyper asked.
"We'll leave it to luck."
"LUCK?!"
As we reached our maximum height we started to descend. We fell at such at such and arc that we flew through the second gate. There was a giant on the other side of the second gate and Rocket Man slammed into his back and knocked him to the ground. The train kept going and we had a rough landing but we were all still in one piece.
"No point in sitting around let's get moving." Zoro said as he exited the train.
I climbed out one of the windows with Sanji and Wyper not very far behind. We came across a group of men and made quick work of them vastly lowering the forces standing in our way.
"Think we should have greeted them?" Zoro asked.
"That's pointless." Sanji told him.
"That and it's too late to wake them up and say hello." I joked.
The Franky Family and Galley-La were happy to see we had made it to land and were ready to fight CP9.
"It's the Strawhat underling Roronoa Zoro." One of the marines commented.
"Heh they called him underling." Sanji laughed.
"Better then nameless pirate A." Zoro countered.
"Pirate A, Underling, can we get a move on." Wyper said.
"Who you calling Pirate A, pirate B!" "I'll show you an underling." Zoro and Sanji said respectively.
The three of them started hurling petty nicknames at each other until I was able to break them up.
"Now's not really the time." I told them.
Bunch of grown men acting like children, I didn't come here to be a babysitter.
The marines found Chopper and Usopp trying to get out of the train and decided that there must be more 'criminals' inside.
"Blow the whole thing to bits!"
"Don't Nami's still inside!" Sanji yelled.
A rocket hit the train and it shook from the explosion but the soldiers stopped shooting when they saw Kokoro and Chimney atop the train.
"I'm just an old lady." "And I'm a little girl with a small animal." The two explained.
"Those scumbags took an old woman and a child hostage, what fiends." The Marines said providing commentary.
A cloud appeared above the heads of the Marines and Nami came out of the train.
"Nami's okay!" Sanji yelled.
"I'll show you the power of the weather." Nami told them "Thunder Bolt Tempo!"
The cloud exploded in an eruption of lightning. And fried most of the marines in an instant. Since Nami wasn't paying attention the pain was also inflicted on Zoro, Sanji, Wyper and I.
"What the hell Nami you hit us to!" Zoro yelled.
"I thought we were friends." I cried "Now my hairs all frizzy."
Nami and Chopper dragged Usopp over to us.
"Where are the two runaways?" Zoro asked.
"Haven't seen them." Nami said "But the island isn't small so we need to get searching."
A building further into the island exploded and we all knew what we had to do now.
"Let's go there."
One of those giant fish monsters came flying past us and Paulie told us to get onboard. We climbed the ropes he threw down and took a seat on the monsters back.
"Someone hold me!" I yelled in sheer terror.
It's the fastest way but it's also the scariest.
"I'll hold you Rose." Sanji swooned.
"It was a figure of speech!" I yelled.
"The dogs are trying to climb on!" Chopper yelled.
Wyper was trying to shoot them away but the dogs were outrunning the blasts.
Paulie handed Sanji the ropes "I'll take care of those things, when you see those guys, tell them they're fired."
"Sure." Zoro told him.
Paulie jumped off the Bull and took out half the dogs by himself. The other two foremen came to his aid and took out the rest.
"They're so strong!" Chopper said in awe.
"It's hard to believe they're just shipwrights." I told him.
The Bulls, Sodom and Gomorrah, kept rampaging and taking us closer to Luffy and my brother.
Steve's POV
"It's a dead end we have to go up!" Luffy yelled.
Luffy rocketed us to the top to the final gate and we pulled ourselves up to the roof.
"This is the last building, huh?" Luffy commented looking across the falls.
Even though we had made it to the final building there was no way over to the other side, there was a gorge in the way.
"How do we get over there?" I thought out loud.
It looks too far to jump, even for Luffy.
"Air Door."
One of the CP9 members I had seen in Iceberg's mansion, Blueno, appeared out of thin air.
"Holy cow it's a cow!" Luffy yelled.
"I figured the damage had been more than five people." Blue said to himself "This is certainly unheard of, a pirate walking right up to the front door of the Government. How long are you going to struggle?" He asked.
"Until I die." Luffy and I both answered.
"How noble." The man joked.
"Robin's in the building behind you isn't she." I said "Get out of my way."
