Clima-Tact:
-West Block-
"Damn it," Zoro cursed to himself as he stood in a street across from Mr. 1 and looked around him for any signs of Nami. The girl had run off with Ms. Double Finger chasing her and he hadn't seen her since. "Where the heck did she go? I said I'd look after her. If she gets killed it's gonna end up being on my conscience."
-Flashback-
"Okay here's the plan," Y/N announced to the others shortly before they made their final approach on Alubarna. "We're going to split up into groups of two. We'll charge in and lure the Officer Agents away from the gate which will leave Vivi free to stop the Rebel Army as they approach from the south."
"I CALL Y/N!" Nami, Usopp, and Chopper all shouted before they launched themselves at the First Mate and glomped him.
"Ugghhh..." Y/N groaned in annoyance as the three hung off of him. "Usopp, you're with me. Chopper, you're with Sanji, and Nami, you'll go with Zoro."
"Hey, why does Moss Ball get to go with Miss. Nami?" Sanji protested.
"Because if you or I went with her we'd probably do something stupid to defend her," Y/N answered. "The same thing would happen with me and Chopper. I figure, if Zoro goes with Nami he can look after her without being emotionally invested in it."
"Fine," Sanji folded his arms across his chest and conceded the point.
Y/N turned to Zoro, "You will look after her right?" he asked. "This is gonna be dangerous. Don't let her get killed."
"I'll look after her," Zoro agreed.
"Thank you," Y/N replied, "Now... Eyelash, you stay here. If you go with us you'll get killed. Vivi hang back and intercept the rebels once we've done our part. The rest of you, let's get going. We've got a job to do." And so they rode off on their ducks, split into their assigned groups, and lured the Officer Agents into the city.
Sanji, Chopper, Usopp, Mana, and Ayako had already finished their battles. Aside from Y/N and Vivi who were dealing with Crocodile and Ms. All Sunday at the Royal Palace, the only ones left fighting for their lives were Zoro and Nami.
-End Flashback-
"Where'd she run off to?" Zoro grumbled. "All she had to do was stay quiet and hide while I took care of the fighting. But nooo! That idiot had to run her mouth and provoke them!"
"I can't help but notice that you seem distracted," Mr. 1 dead-panned. "You're the 'Pirate Hunter' Roronoa Zoro. It would be a pity to kill someone with your reputation because he wasn't paying attention."
"I'll fight you in a minute!" Zoro snapped. "I'm under orders to look after her."
"Perhaps... you should be more concerned about yourself?" Mr. 1 suggested as he held out his right arm. The bottoms of his long fingers took on a shiny metallic appearance.
"Great," Zoro muttered to himself, "Now on top of worrying about Nami, I have to worry about what kind of a freakish Devil Fruit Power this guy has."
Speaking of Nami, the thief suddenly came running out of an alley and leaned back against the wall. "Lost her," Nami sighed as she took a couple of deep breaths to recover from her run.
"Not quite," Mr. 1 replied as he glanced up above the girl.
Nami looked up and saw Ms. Double Finger standing above her. But the thief's eyes widened at the fact that the woman was standing SIDEWAYS on the building and had somehow gotten her feet to stick to it.
