Mei's POV

"Well, damn." Zoro states, after we discovered—more like eavesdropped—who Mr. 8 and Miss Wednesday are.

I sigh, realising something. "Oi. Swordsman. Luffy's still down there."

His eye twitches. "Why can't you just call me by my name? I'm the only one who has nicknames!"

I smirk. "As I said, Swordsman, Luffy is still down there."

He glares. "We'll help him later."

I shrug. "Ok, then."

"Hurry Vivi-sama! Escape while you can!" Igaram urges, but Vivi stays rooted to the spot.

"Igaram!" The blue-haired girl screams. Admidst the smoke and gunfire, sunglasses dude launches a projectile at Igaram, who is consumed in a powerful explosion, while Vivi and Mr. 9 watch in shock.

I tilt my head. "This is getting interesting..."

The smoke begins to clear and Igaram falls to the ground, severely injured.

"Igaram!"

"Don't bother." Miss Stupid's voice stops Vivi from aiding Igaram. I look up and see her floating around in the air as if she's light as a feather. Which shouldn't be too far off. Her horrible laughter echos in the air before she swoops down and swings her leg at Vivi, who ducks to avoid the attack, but her hair tie snaps in the process, causing her long hair to fall over her shoulders.

Vivi grits her teeth and pulls out her Peacock Slashes to, well, slash Miss Whatever Her Name Is, who promptly floats out of range while laughing again.

"Monsters..." Vivi growls, giving a hateful glare at Mr. Sunglasses and Miss Laughs Annoyingly, who lands beside her partner.

I raise an eyebrow. "She's never met an actual monster then, because those two? Angels compared to-" I cut myself off when I see Zoro looking at me quizzically.

"Compared to...?" He prompts.

I blink. "I forgot what I was going to say." I brush him off.

He narrows his eyes at me.

"So you are a princess, Miss Wednesday!" Mr. 9 bows before Vivi. He only just figured out she's a princess...? He's quite dumb...

"Stop being ridiculous, Mr. 9!" Vivi snaps angrily.

"This night's getting dangerous! You guys have fun! Later!" Zoro jumps down from the rooftop, grabs the sleeping, bloated Luffy, and drags him away. He stops not far off.

I stay where I am on the rooftop, curiously watching the scene play out.

"V-Vivi-sama!" Igaram catches the princess's attention as his voice cracks, sticky blood running down his face.

"Igaram! Are you alright?" Vivi asks worriedly.

"Vivi-sama, do not worry about me...Please hurry and flee this place! For the sake of our country..." the man begs weakly, struggling to speak through his rugged breaths. "Without you, the Alabasta Kingdom will....Now, quickly!"

Mr. Sunglasses proceeds to pick his nose and calmly states, "Don't even think of escaping." Ok, yeah...I'm calling him Mr. Snot now...

"Don't underestimate me!" Vivi snarls, looping her finger with her Peacock Slashers as she spins them around, creating the slicing disk again. Before she can attack, however, Mr. 9 stands between her and the stupid pair with a metal bat in hand.
