"You guys weren't real pirates, you were just fake ones weren't you?" Luffy called down from the top of the castle. The wind carried his voice so everyone could hear him perfectly. "You pretended to be pirates but you weren't willing to risk your lives! YOU DON'T KNOW THE MEANING OF THIS FLAG!"
"Luffy..." said Chopper as he stared up at the pirate on top of the castle, beside him, Y/N smiled.
"The meaning of it, you say?" Wapol repeated. "MWAA HAHAHAHA! THERE IS NO MEANING TO THAT STUPID PIRATE RAG!"
"If you think that, you're dumber than you look!" Luffy retorted.
"Not that it's hard," Y/N added, still showing no ill-effects of taking a cannon blast to the stomach for Chopper.
"LISTEN!" Luffy shouted. "This flag isn't something you fly on a whim!"
"FOOL!" Wapol snapped. "I'M THE KING! I'd never raise a pirate flag except as a joke! NOW STOP RAISING THAT EYESORE! I told you, this is my kingdom, I'LL KEEP SHOOTING DOWN THAT FLAG UNTIL IT STAYS DOWN!" BOOOOOM! Wapol aimed one of his arm-cannons and fired at the rubber pirate on the roof of his castle.
"Crap, not again..." Sanji grumbled from where he was standing in front of the door with Dr. Kureha.
"HEY YOU! LOOK OUT!" Chopper shouted up at Luffy.
"YOU CAN'T BREAK IT!" Luffy shouted, not moving from his spot. "THE SKULL AND CROSSBONES IS A SYMBOL OF FAITH!" KA-BOOOOOM! The cannon blast impacted with the top of the turret and covered it in smoke.
"LUFFY!" Sanji shouted.
"That was a direct hit!" Dr. Kureha exclaimed.
"I BLASTED HIM TO PIECES!" Wapol boasted.
"He couldn't..." Chopper stated.
"Look again," Y/N advised with a sly grin.
The smoke cleared and Luffy was left standing on top of the turret holding the flag pole out beside him. Both Luffy and Hiriluk's flag had been scuffed from the explosion, but they were both still there.
Chessmarimo and Wapol gasped in shock, it had been a direct hit, but Luffy was still there waving the flag. Chopper stared up in amazement while Y/N kept grinning.
"See," Luffy said. He tore the sleeve off of his coat and used it to tied the flag pole back on. He now stood on top of the turret in his scuffed coat with Hiriluk's slightly frayed pirate flag waving behind him. You could still clearly make out the skull and cherry blossoms that declared that nothing was impossible. "IT'S UNBREAKABLE!"
"What? Impossible!" Chessmarimo gasped. "He's alive!"
"I have no idea who this pirate flag originally belonged to," Luffy admitted. "But it doesn't matter! A pirate flag is someone's pledge to risk their life! It's not something to be shot at or made fun of! IT STANDS FOR SOMETHING THAT YOU STUPID JACKASSES WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND! NOT IN A MILLION YEARS!"
Luffy's words crashed over Wapol and Chessmarimo like a wave of thunder, they both flinched at the passion and emotion behind Luffy's shouts.
"Incredible!" Chopper thought to himself, he glanced beside him at the pirate who had taken a cannon-blast to the stomach for him, then looked up at the pirate who was bravely flying a flag that he admitted that he didn't know the first thing about. They originally seemed brave and carefree, like they were out on a cruise to see the world, but now they were hardened warriors standing up for what they believed in. "So these are pirates!"
