The Jackal Guardian's Ascent

Chapter 34

Anu flew through the air for what seemed like forever until he crash landed into a building, destroying it in the process. He laid there for a few minutes, too hurt to move.

"What the hell's going on?!" a random person asked as they rounded the corner to see the building in ruins.

"My business!! My home!!" a woman cried out, seeing the building in ruins.

"We need to go!" a man said, trying to drag the woman away. "Aqua Laguna is coming!!"

"Buildings don't just collapse on their own, Jason!" the woman yelled.

"Calm down, Kassandra!" the man replied. "We can figure this out in the morning when Aqua Laguna has passed!"

"I guess so." Kassandra huffed as she angrily stomped away from the ruined building. the small crowd was leaving the area when they heard a rumbling of movement from the rubble.

"What the hell?!" Jason asked aloud as the rumbling continued.

"RAAAGGHHHH!!" Anu yelled out as he furiously burst from the rubble, eyes now glowing a bright white. "Which way is Galley-La?!" he angrily asked the people before him.

"Th-that way!" the people pointed, shocked to see someone emerge from the rubble, relatively unscathed.

"Thank you." Anu said as he teleported away, leaving the people mystified by what they witnessed.

Some time later, at Galley-La HQ 

"So, Robin doesn't hate us?!!" Chopper asked aloud.

"That's right!" Nami answered. "We've got to find Luffy and the others and save Robin!"

"Okay, we'll go look! Where are they?" Chopper asked, having no idea where to even begin the search.

"I don't know." Nami answered. "That's why we're looking for them!"

"Alright!" Chopper cheered as he suddenly transformed into his Heavy Point. "I'll look really hard!"

"Scratch one off that list." Anu said as he approached the group.

"Anu!!" Nami and Chopper cheered. "How'd you find us so fast?!" Nami asked.

"I just asked to be pointed in this direction." Anu answered. "Have I missed anything?"

"Robin doesn't hate us!!" Chopper replied, giddy with excitement.

"Maedhiratu? (Beg your pardon?)" Anu asked, not quite sure he actually heard what Chopper said.

"Robin doesn't hate us!" Nami answered. "She did all this to protect us!"

"Weird way to protect us, but okay." Anu commented, still processing everything. "So, what's our plan?"

"We find Luffy and the other two and go save Robin!" Nami answered.

"Fairly straightforward, I like it." Anu commented. "Let's get to it then."

"Wait, you three. It's up to you whether or not you go after Nico Robin, but I'll tell you this, a sea train for the transportation of government personnel departs at 11 tonight." Iceberg told them. "It's very likely they'll be on that train."

"In other words, Robin will be with them." Anu finished.

"Precisely. After that train runs, the sea train will temporarily stop service because Aqua Laguna is on it's way." Iceberg continued. 

"What are you saying?!" Nami asked.

"If you let that train leave without you, of course you won't be able to launch a ship either." Iceberg told them. "You won't have any way to leave the island."
