Straw Hat: Rise of the Dragon Slayer

Borrowed Power From Tomorrow

Being tossed around like a ragdoll and having the responsibility for holding keys, was most certainly not on my bucket list.

Franky ran through the holes left by Chopper, jostling me around I groaned as we stopped abruptly. Franky drops me not gracefully, making me fall flat to the floor. I let out a painful groan while looking around. In the corner of my eye I could see Zoro and Usopp handcuffed together. "Out of the way guys!" Franky shouted while slowly standing up after what felt like the hundredth time being on the floor. I brushed off the dirt from my clothes, I heard the panic calls of Zoro and Usopp shouting at Franky.

"Hey stop!"

"What the Hell!"

Snapping my gaze to the cyborg, I see him forming his handgun. "What the Hell Franky! Chopper is on our-" He turns sharply to look at me. "I know, but there's no other way to weaken a power user" He shouted at me trying to explain before turning directly at Chopper.

Water....

He wanted to force Chopper to fall off the building. "COupE DE!" I nodded stiffly and bent down. With my right arm burning, I can hope I can swim now. "If I can't get him back up. You'll have to come get us, my right arm is shit you know" I took a deep breath and began running to Chopper. "VENT!!" Franky shoots a large blast of air at Chopper, causing him to be thrown back into the wall. Sunlight flooded the room as the wall collapsed. Chopper tried to regain his balance by holding onto the wall, but more broke off. Not a second later Chopper fell over the edge of the building. I pass Zoro and Usopp with a nod and leap out of the hole.

"You shithead! YOU DIDN'T TELL ME HOW INJURED YOU WERE!" Franky shouted frantically leaning over the edge, I felt the air rush around me as I fell after Chopper. I straightened my posture so my head was directly towards the water. My hands out forward, my gaze locked onto Chopper. He was still in his large form, but as soon as he hit the water he shrunk. As I got closer to the water, I took a deep breath and plunged into the frigid cold ocean water. The current was strong sweeping both me and Chopper. I kicked my feet and swam as hard, with my vision blurred I could barely see Chopper sinking.

'Save them, Lilith!'

My heart pumped faster; it was almost like someone helping me. The faster I swam the harder my right arm ached, I reached out with my left arm to grab him. I grunted as I missed, trying again I kicked harder to grab his arm. With my hand tight around his arm, I quickly swim up to the surface. I struggled with difficulty due to the current against us. My lung burned terribly from the lack of air, I tried my best to keep my mouth clamped shut. As soon as my hand felt air, I pulled chopper up first before I breached the water. I gasped for air, breathing hard as I kept the two of us afloat.

Swimming towards the docks of Enies lobby was much easier than I had thought. Reaching the docks I set Chopper down first before I pulled myself up. My hands flat on the warm stone as I put all my weight on my arms. Gasping at the pain, I struggled for a good few minutes. Once I got up I sat next to the unconscious doctor. He was still breathing which was good. "The hell happen to you chopper?" My voice was quiet as my body shook slightly from the wet clothes. "Hey Cole!" I heard a familiar face, my lips turned up into a small smile seeing Chimney and Gonbe. I removed my scarf and used it to tie chopper to my back. I move myself to stand slowly as she and Gonbe stand near me with a bright smile. "Hey Hey! Guess what!" She starts jumping around and rambling about the Gates of Justice and the passage way. "You know a passageway to the Gates of Justice?" I questioned, I reached into my pocket for the three keys Franky gave me.. His reasoning was that he didn't want to be the one to lose them if we couldn't save Robin. Along with Stupid Kalifa's Snail too. I grumbled silently to myself and followed behind Chimeny who started to pull on my right arm. I cringe in pain and gently remove my arm from her grip. She paused and tilt her head at me confused.
