SHUK! SHUK! SHUK! The jam-packed cart continued along the rope way to the peak of the mountain. The end of the white rope was attached to a metal pulley-system that was in a cave that had been made in the cylindrical mountain. KRUNK! The cart docked in the metal bottom of the cave and finally came to a stop.
Usopp hopped out of the cart and stood on the stone walkway that was alongside the cart-dock. "Everybody wait here!" Usopp instructed. "I'll brave whatever dangers lie ahead and let you know when it's safe!" While Usopp was calling out to the others in the cart, Zoro got out and walked right passed him and started up a set of stone steps. "GAAH!" Usopp yelped when he saw Zoro the Thunder-Stealer heading up ahead of him and quickly up the steps passed him. "I'M GOING FIRST!"
CHUNK! On the surface, something metal rose up out of the snow and revealed itself to be a small chamber. KREK! The metal door fell opened and acted as a ramp, leaving Zoro standing in the opened doorway at the top of the steps with Usopp hiding behind him.
"HEY! What the hell are you doing?" Zoro demanded as he looked behind him at the sniper, once he was out of sight of the villagers he was trying to impress, Usopp had reverted to his cowardly ways.
"Uhh... just watching your back!" Usopp replied.
"Hiding behind it is more like it!" Zoro complained as he struggled to get Usopp out from behind him. "Why'd you even come if you were so scared?"
They didn't notice the pirate that saw them from the top of the castle.
"Scared?" Usopp repeated. "Don't be ridiculous! I always laugh in the face of danger!"
"RAAAAAAAAHHHH!" a familiar voice suddenly screamed. Zoro and Usopp looked up in time to see Luffy flying at them from the top of the castle.
"EEEK! MOMMY!" Usopp shrieked in terror in the face of danger.
"Luffy!" Zoro called out in alarm.
"Zoro? Usopp?" Luffy said when he finally saw the two people he was attacking up close. Without being able to stop himself, Luffy kept going and slammed into his two Nakama, BOOOOOM!
Vivi, Mr. 5, and Ms. Goldenweek came walking out of the metal doorway and paused when they saw the three pirates down in a pile in the snow. "Aaah!" Vivi gasped in surprise while Mr. 5 and Ms. Goldenweek both sweat-dropped.
Luffy pulled himself out of the snow and stood up, "SHISHISHI!" he laughed.
"WHY'D YA DO THAT, YOU MORON?" Zoro snapped as he sat up in the snow.
"I didn't recognize you at first," Luffy answered. "Shishishi! I thought you were more of big-mouth's guards coming to fight!" Zoro was still wearing the coat he'd gotten off of one of Wapol's guards from down in Big Horn. Luffy hadn't recognized him from the top of the castle, but he had recognized the coat as an enemy uniform.
"Oh, hey," Y/N greeted them as he walked over from the front door of the castle. "I'm surprised to see you guys up here."
"Me too," Luffy agreed, "well not you, Zoro, but you, Usopp. Aren't you normally scared of doing stuff like climbing mountains?"
"AHAHAHAHA!" Usopp laughed, "Yeah right! Whenever there's a towering peak in front of me! I get to climbing! But let me tell you, scaling that mountain hand-over-hand was no picnic!"
"Actually, we took a rope way cart up here," Vivi explained, causing Usopp to twitch.
"Wait... there's a rope way?" Y/N asked.
