The Red Haired Devil

Chapter 24

After Vivi told Luffy about the bomb, they landed on the ground next to the palace. He wound up his arms and Kairi glanced back at Pell.

"Best of luck, Luffy. Be careful." Pell said.

"I ate tons of meat, bird guy! I'll be just fine."

"Of course you will be. Because meat is totally like medicine for you." Kairi sarcastically said as she rolled her eyes. Luffy put his hands together and shot them upward. Behind them, Kairi heard a scream.

"It's Luffy! He's alive!!"

"Tony's here too." Vivi said as Usopp ran forward all covered in bandages.

"What?! Luffy! Luffy!!"

"And Vivi and Kairi are here too!"

"See? See?! He's still alive! What'd I tell ya! I knew it all along!"

"Really?!"

"For someone who knew it all along, you sure looked surprised." Sanji said.

"Hey, it's Sanji and Usopp." Kairi said pointing at the two. "And Eyelash."

"Oooh! Vivi, Kairi, what happened?" Sanji fawned. "Are you both okay? You look like you've been a hurt." A second later, Nami hit Usopp over the head with a blue bo-staff.

"Nami too?" Vivi said a bit surprised. "And Mr. Bushido?"

"You gave Zoro a nickname? That has nothing to do with his name..." Kairi said with a sweat drop.

"Everyone is alive."

"Usopp, who asked you to create some useless prop for parties?!" Nami scolded. Kairi grinned. Even when they're wounded, they're lively. "Vivi, Kairi, what's going on? What's up with all this dust flying everywhere?"

"I'm sorry, you guys. I know I lost to him once already. This time... This time I'm gonna win! The rest is up to you!"

"So get goin' already." Zoro replied.

"If you can't beat this guy, then I don't know anybody who can!" Usopp yelled which somewhat offended Kairi.

"I'm gonna put an end to this for good!"

"Get goin', Luffy." Kairi said with a sigh and then she grinned. Luffy rocketed himself up to Crocodile. Kairi watched as Luffy landed a hit on Crocodile. "So, he was able to find the weakness of the Sand Sand Fruit..."

They both explained to everyone Crocodile's plan.

"Are you serious?!" Usopp exclaimed. "In ten minutes this place is really gonna blow up?!"

"Yes, four thirty is when it goes." Vivi informed.

"That soon?" Nami asked.

"According to what Crocodile said, if the cannon was shot, no one within five kilometers of here will survive!"

"Five kilometers?! Then that means..."

"Both the rebel and royal armies will be completely wiped out." Chopper said finishing Nami's sentence.

"That damn Crocodile." Sanji growled.

"What the hell are we supposed to do?!" Usopp yelled.

"We find the cannon." Zoro replied nonchalantly. "We stop the cannoneer from shooting!"

"Okay, but how do we find him?"

"I have an idea! Since I can control air, I can also use clairvoyance, but I lose sight in my eyes. So, if I do this, someone will have to guide me around while we all look." Kairi said.
