One Piece (Love Story) [Part Two]

Chapter Two Hundred and Thirty [Rewritten]

-Chapter Two Hundred and Thirty-

"That's Puffing Tom alright, but it's just one of the cars" Zambai pointed out once a good chunk of us were piled outside. "There's no engine and it doesn't look like it's moving" he noted.

"That can't be right" Zoro frowned.

"What's going on here?" Tilestone asked.

"Does that mean it got detached somehow?" Lulu questioned.

"Maybe something happened and Sanji and Usopp are on there" Chopper suggested.

"Yeah, that's going to be a problem if they are" I said, now thinking back to what Kokoro had told us about this Sea Train being nothing more than a runaway train.

"Big Bro Franky too!" Kiwi and Mozu exclaimed.

"Well, I hope not, because we're about to crash into them" Paulie frowned. "Granny, hit the break!" he shouted as he called back to the old woman.

"I already told you now, didn't I?" Kokoro called back. "We don't got one!"

"That's why this is a problem—without a break, what do you think's going to happen if they all are in that car?" I asked as everyone exchanged worried glances with one another.

"We're going to crash!" Chimney cried as she was the first to finally start panicking as the reality of our situation set in.

"Luffy, what are you going to do?" Chopper curiously asked upon seeing the rubber man start to stretch himself back.

"I'm flying over to see what's up" Luffy responded. "Now...Gum Gum Rocket!" and with that, he sent himself flying over towards the detached cars.

"Wow!" Zambai awed as he watched the captain take flight.

"Let's hope he doesn't miss" I said.

It was silent after that as we patiently waited to hear back from the captain.

"Straw Hat's coming out!" Zambai eventually shouted as he peered through a pair of binoculars. "Looks like they're shooting him and he's saying no!" he relayed to the rest of us after another beat of silence.

"Well, whatever happened, the train cars must be full of Marines" Lulu said.

"So what's the plan, rope man?" Kokoro asked.

"If we don't move those cars out of the way, we might get knocked off" Paulie frowned.

"Or create a large bloodstain in the ocean, either one" I added, causing a few people to shiver at the idea of what my words implied.

"Let the Franky Family handle this! We'll dismantle them before they can hit us!" Zambai huffed.

"Let me help! I want to destroy stuff too!" Tilestone shouted.

"Hear that, men? Get to work!" Zambai ordered, causing the other members of the Franky Family to cheer.

"Hey, Zoro!" Luffy suddenly shouted.

"Hear that, Roronoa? He's calling for you" Lulu said.

"Go ahead! Cut it up!" Luffy ordered.

"Nice orders, captain!" I whistled as I gave the captain a thumbs up.

"Okay" Zoro nodded.

"That's it!" Zambai, Lulu, and Tilestone gaped as I smiled and watched the swordsman do his job. With nothing more than the flick of his wrist, he easily sliced the train cars into pieces, shocking everyone around us.

"Hey! Before you do something crazy like that, you got to warn us first!" Lulu snapped.

"You heard me say "cut them" didn't you?" Luffy frowned as he climbed back on Rocketman.
