Chapter 8

 

The marines spotted the Straw-hat crew's ship and one saw the captain through the telescope. They knew he's a DF user, so they loaded their shot cannon with a special net, specially made for DF users. They fired one without making too much of a racket, since they were still a ways off, but one of the men said that it missed. They fired again, only to miss once more. By the time they fired the third one, they were caught.

 

“Quick! Get the other nets ready! We're going to bring all of them down! Also, bring the Poisoned Spear! But don't fire that one until I tell you to!”

 

“They're mobilizing!”

 

“Someone get the harpoon ready!”

 

“Yes sir!”

 

Back on the ship everyone was either ready to fight or to run away.

 

“We're still far away from them!” Nami said. “We can turbo speed out of here!”

 

“Great! Just one problem!” Franky called. “We're running low on the cola that powers it!”

 

“You've got to be kidding!” The young girl said as she, Usopp and Chopper started to freak out.

 

That's when a harpoon struck the side of the ship.

 

“What the fuck!?” Franky called. “Those fucking bastards!”

 

Then the Marine ship came into view, and was heading towards them pretty quick.

 

“Are they planning to ram us!?” Usopp called out.

 

Robin crossed her arms and thousands of hands appeared at the side of the ship and created a buffer to the Marine ship doesn't hit them. When that happened though, a net appeared and caught her as well as Sanji, who was there to protect the older woman.

 

Next were Usopp, Chopper, and Nami. “This can't be happening!” She cried.

 

“I can't be caught like this now!” Usopp cried. “I still haven't reached my goal as the Warrior of the Sea!”

 

Franky shot down a few and tried to get to the wheel to set up the cannons, but he was entangled in a steel net with magnets that stung like hell to him. “Damn you!” He yelled.

 

This left Zoro and Luffy to defend the ship and the crew.

 

“Luffy!” The swordsman called. “Let me handle this!” Before the other could say anything, he charged to the Marine ship, using only his ears and alerts to help guide him in this fight.

 

“Zoro!” Luffy called as he watched Zoro cut each net to pieces. He looked at the others and he saw that Franky didn't have the sea stone net. He tried to get the net off with some help from Franky.

 

Zoro, on the other hand, was having a time of his life. Thanks to `Luffy's method' of training, he was able to be very alert to where to attack, when to defend, and when to do both. He felt something lightly hit his face, but he ignored it and finished off knocking out the men. Once that was done, he sliced the harpoon's cord and jumped off the Marine ship.

 

At this point Luffy was able to get Franky out, which got everyone else out.

 

The young captain came up to the swordsman. “That was so awesome, Zoro! You took them all blindfolded!” He said with a wide smile. He then noticed the strange gray powder all over the other's face. “What's with the stuff all over your face?”

 

The other shrugged. “Some bastard that mistook me as a DF user and thought the powder would take me out.” He said when his whole body became numb, unable to move. “What the hell?!”

 

“What the hell's wrong with you now?” Sanji said.

 

“I can't feel anything in my body!” The swordsman called out when he heard it. A sound of someone giving the order to fire, the sound of a cannon going off and something very fast coming out going straight towards him!

 

“Zoro!” Luffy cried out, followed by the crew's protest.

 

“Luffy! Don't!” Robin cried.

 

To Zoro, thought blind, time seemed to slow as he heard the captain going towards him and the object coming closer. From the moment Luffy's hand made contact to his numbed form, that's when time became far too quick to comprehend.

 

He fell to the ground and he heard the other fall as well. “Luffy?” He said when he heard one of Usopp's slingshots shoot something along with one of Franky's cannons going off as well as the ship going turbo speed.

 

“Luffy-san! Zoro-san!” Robin said as she ran up to the swordsmen, with Chopper following behind her looking over the young captain.

 

“I'm fine!” Zoro called. “What about Luffy? What the hell happened?”

 

Robin looked and could only say something so simple, but greatly hides the truth. “He's been hit, saving you.”

 

“Hit with what!? TELL ME!!”

 

The older woman felt like crying as she looked to see Luffy.

 

He was on the ground with a spear through his chest, his eyes were open, but they were not filled with that lively vibe that everyone knew and his mouth was slightly open with small streams of blood was coming out.

 

When she didn't answer him, the swordsman could finally smell blood and could barely hear the other breathe!

 

“Luffy! LUFFY!!”
