"What the hell happened?" Mr. 3.5 demanded as he stared at the destroyed bridge on one side of the lake while Ms. All Sunday idly stood on the other. "I heard an explosion and I know it wasn't one of mine."
"The Straw Hats' pet blew it up with some kind of cannon," Ms. All Sunday stated. "I was distracted watching Sir Crocodile chase after Mr. Prince and I'm afraid it got away."
"Damn," Mr. 3.5 cursed, "Now what do we do?"
"I suppose we'll have to wait until Sir Crocodile gets back," Ms. All Sunday reasoned.

"GET BACK HERE YOU DAMN PIRATE!" Crocodile shouted as he chased after Sanji. Due to all the civilians that lined the streets the President of Baroque Works was playing up his position as a Warlord so as to not arouse suspicion.
"Not gonna happen," Sanji retorted.
"It's clear that we're not gonna be cutting the air with our feet any time soon," Y/N said to Sanji when they'd been training in the desert on their way to Rain Base. "But since you've been wearing those weights on your ankles all this time I think I should at least be able to teach you my Speed Step technique. Just be warned that it may take a while to get used to."
Sanji's feet kicked off of the ground ten times in under a second and he sped off having successfully replicated Y/N's Speed Step technique. "SAUTÉ!" ZZZOOOOM! Crocodile was left staring after the cook in surprise.
"Damn," Crocodile growled, "I didn't expect one of the Straw Hat to know a technique like that. But with a former Whitebeard Pirate as a First Mate I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised."

Sanji leaned back against a wall in an alley safely out of Crocodile's line of sight. His legs were shaking from being unused to the speed he'd just gone but were already recovering. "Gotta hand it to Y/N for coming up with a helpful technique..." Sanji commented. "And his plan to draw Crocodile out wasn't half bad either.
-A Few Minutes Ago-
"Wahaha," Sanji chuckled into a transponder snail, "That's my loudmouth crew alright. Thanks for letting me know they're with you. All I have to do is find you and I—" BANG! Another Million fired at Sanji from behind but the cook dodged the bullet and kicked the Million in the face. THWAK!
"AAAAAHH!" the Million screamed into the Transponder Snail. THWAK! Another kick convinced the Million to say what Sanji wanted him to. "We've got him, sir. Don't worry. He won't be going anywhere in the condition we put him in."
"Uugggghhh..." Sanji let out a fake groan.
When Crocodile asked where they were the Million continued, "We're at the front of the casino with a crocodile on top up in Rain Base... Rain Dinners."
"Nice job," Sanji complimented the Million once he hung up the Transponder Snail. "That was so convincing your boss is on the way. You should really consider a career in acting."
"Uh... really?" the Million asked. "Gee thanks! Hey um... you're gonna let me go now right?"
"No sir," Sanji answered. THWAK!
The Million was left lying in a heap on the ground, "Ugghhh... I didn't think so..."
"MR. PRINCE!" Chopper exclaimed from the other side of the bridge, "THERE'S MORE OF 'EM! I'M DOING ALL I CAN BUT THERE'S TOO MANY!"
Sanji dashed across the bridge and joined Chopper in fighting the new group of Millions. When they finished Sanji stood with Chopper and went over their part in Y/N's plan.
