One Hundred Bounty Hunters:
-x-
"He's gone!" Mr. 9 exclaimed as he, Mr. 8, Ms. Monday, Ms. Wednesday, and the other ninety-six bounty hunters stared up at the roof of the inn that Zoro had just been sitting on. One minute he was there, the next he'd vanished. They were Baroque Works Agents and Zoro knew about them, he needed to be killed or their secrets would get out.
"What? But how the hell could he just disappear?" Mr. 8 wondered. The crowd of bounty hunters glanced around them for any sign of the green-haired swordsman. But he wasn't on any of the roof tops or any of the nearby alleys.
Suddenly they spotted him... standing in the middle of the crowd pretending to look up at the empty rooftops.
Zoro smirked while the bounty hunters backed away from him and aimed their guns at him from all sides. They had him surrounded.
"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?" someone demanded. "FIRE!" BANG! BANG! BANG! But once again Zoro had vanished and the bounty hunters ended up shooting each other due to their close proximity and the fact that they were standing in a circle.
"Incompetent morons!" Mr. 8 snapped once the dust cleared and he spotted all the bounty hunters on the ground, but no Zoro. "They just shot each other!"
"Yeah, and the pirate got away!" Mr. 9 added.
"GRR... JUST KILL HIM! HE'S ONLY ONE MAN!" Mr. 8 ordered. Skish... Mr. 8's eyes bugged out as the blade of a sword poked through his curled hair and positioned itself beside his face. Mr. 8 stood still while Zoro stood behind him with his back to the larger man.
"You know you're going to have to ask yourself... will one gravestone really be enough?" questioned Zoro.
"THERE HE IS!" one of the bounty hunters realized as they aimed their guns at Zoro... and Mr. 8 who he was standing back-to-back with.
"NO! WAIT! DON'T SHOOT! YOU'LL HIT ME!" Mr. 8 shouted. He grabbed his saxophone and raised it up over his head, "IGARAPPA!" BRUPOW-POW-POW! Mr. 8 blew into his saxophone and it opened fire and shot a series of bullets at the bounty hunters behind him that were getting ready to shoot him in order to get Zoro.
When the smoke and dust cleared another bunch of bounty hunters were on the ground. But Zoro had one again disappeared.
"Alright you idiots," Mr. 8 growled. "Where did he disappear to this time?"
In around the corner in an alley, Zoro was leaning back against the wall and was catching his breath. "So that thing's a weapon," Zoro realized. That guy with the rollers had just tried to shoot him with a saxophone. Good thing Zoro was naturally suspicious or it might've hit him along with the other bounty hunters. "Dangerous... I'd better watch out."
Mr. 8, Mr. 9, Ms. Monday, and Ms. Wednesday stood together in the crowd of bounty hunters. "It seems that this guy may actually be able to put up a fight," Mr. 9 commented, "even against us..."
Ms. Wednesday signaled for the other bounty hunters to spread out a search, Ms. Monday cracked her knuckles, and Mr. 8 gripped his saxophone. "Can he actually be so arrogant to think that he can possibly fight all of us by himself?" Mr. 8 demanded. "What kind of a man would even consider challenging us after knowing that we're all with Baroque Works?"

Back in the party room in the inn the other Straw Hats were all out. Luffy was swelled up like a balloon from all the food he'd eaten and was sleeping soundly, occasionally letting out a snore. Sanji and Usopp were asleep on the floor nearby.
Sanji let out a mumbled, "Ladies please... come closer..."
Usopp was actually talking in his sleep, "And now it's time for Usopp Cheer Number 71..."
