Two Dreams, One Adventure

Broken Friendship

They got to the door, and it was opened by a large man with the same weird goggles as the previous ones had. Luffy didn't wait to nail him in the face so hard to broke through the wall. When they were in the doorway, all looking furious and cold, dangerous, they were mocked for only being four of them. They would "defeat them and take their heads". Plus, they were told they also weren't getting their money back.

Luffy didn't hesitate to let out that aura that scared even his crew, and those pirates on the boring previous island. Some nearest to him backed up. But those who couldn't see him, said, "You're the captain of that weakling, right? How strong are you for recruiting people like that?! You must have a death wish for breaking in here with that power!" Luffy nailed another in the stomach, crashing through his weird armor and shooting him into the opposite wall.

"Ahhhh! He broke through the armor! Hey, le-let's talk this out like civilized people!" Luffy smelled the scent of a burning match, and knew they were shooting cannonballs. Luffy said nothing, did nothing, and let Zoro come forward and cut them all up in midair, shocking the Franky Family. Then he cut up their canons themselves.

Ordinarily, Luffy would have loved seeing his strength like that. So impressive and strong, but not right now. It was not the time for such feelings. All it was time for was rage and hate and revenge. He wasn't going to take it all for himself. The others were just as angry as he was, and he would let them blow off steam as well.

Usopp... we'll be there soon. Hang on a bit more.

Sanji took part, when they started to run towards the door, he grabbed one of their faces as a support and did a handstand, pummeling everyone in range with his feet before going into regular kicks, hearing bones break easily. Even they could hear over the screams.

When they desperately ran for the windows, many unconscious or so beat up they couldn't move, how they did to Usopp, it was Chopper's turn, and he changed into horn point, attacking them all with it, puncturing skin and causing screams. He threw them into the air with his long horns. It wasn't surprising to see him act this way. He was furious. He knew how injured Usopp really was, and he was his friend and nakama as well.

The Franky Family realized they weren't escaping anytime soon, and tried to bargain. They explained that the money was already gone. Franky, the leader, was already gone with it. No matter how angry they were, they wouldn't get the money back. The one who did most of the talking called Usopp a weakling again.

"Shut up. This isn't about the money anymore," Zoro snarled. The other three were silent in agreement. There was nothing to say anymore. This was for Usopp, not the damn money! That didn't matter right now.

Luffy darkly said, "Leave no bone unbroken."

The Franky Family tried every trick they had to fight back, but they were all pointless. In the show of anger and strength, they screamed and begged. The four felt no remorse or guilt for the pain they were causing them. They were too angry after seeing Usopp that way, after Luffy heard his shame and sobbing.

Honestly, his body... was probably in better shape than his mind and emotions. Luffy knew his nakama. It wouldn't be pretty. They also had to somehow tell him the Merry was gone. She would not be setting sail ever again.

They pulled no punches until the floor was covered in damaged bodies, teeth and blood. None of them were proud at the state they left them all in. This was just something they had to do. Then they blew the house up with them all in it. Luffy didn't think any were dead, but he wasn't sure. They could bleed out from Zoro's attacks, so who knew? He didn't much care right now.

Chopper went to tend to Usopp. "Should we go after Franky?" Sanji asked.

"And go where?"

"Luffy can follow him."
