One Piece (Love Story) [Part Two]

Chapter Two Hundred and Forty Four [Rewritten]

-Chapter Two Hundred and Forty-Four-

"Why are they attacking their own crew?" the wolf asked. "Doesn't make any sense..." he grumbled.

"I don't know, they're really getting on my nerves though" Kaku frowned.

"So, this Kalifa woman was the one that had the key" I said, watching as the cuffs fell from Zoro and Sniper King's wrists. Any anger I had before disappearing after the navigator finished explaining her reasoning behind the attack she had Franky enact on Chopper. Though I didn't like it, I couldn't argue with her logic.

"Seems so" Nami hummed as she watched the two flex their now free hands, both looking quite pleased with the fact that they were now free from one another.

"You finally managed to free yourselves, huh?" Kaku questioned.

"You better stop laughing and start running" Zoro ominously warned. "You blew your chance to kill me, and you're not getting another. It's my turn and I'm taking you all down—the entire World Government" he threatened, causing the corners of my lips to twitch.

"Come on!" the wolf guy grinned, already getting pumped up as he prepared for the fighting to start once more.

"We've wasted quite a bit of time here" Kaku remarked.

"Damn right, you have!" Nami snapped. "I can't believe you two—how could you be screwing around at a time like this?!" she scolded.

"Because he wouldn't stop acting like an idiot!" Zoro and Sniper King shouted, childishly pointing fingers as if trying to shift the blame onto each other without owning up to anything themselves.

"You're not children! Stop blaming each other!" I snapped.

"You're both acting like idiots—hurry up and get those keys!" Nami growled.

"Tempest Kick!" Kaku shouted, causing Nami and Sniper King to start screaming.

"Oh, come on! Let's not start that back up now!" I snapped at the two.

"Straight Line!" taking aim, the giraffe sent his attack hurtling toward us. But before it could hit or do too much damage, Zoro deflected it.

"Just as I instructed! Nice going, Zoro!" Sniper King praised.

"Fight, Zoro!" Nami cheered.

"You guys are fighting too!" the swordsman snapped before suddenly directing his attention towards me. "And I thought I told you to go somewhere safe!" he scolded.

"Sorry, honey, but I'm still in fighting condition" I grinned as I crossed my arms. "I'm not sitting this one out any longer, no matter what you say. But thank you for your concern, it's sweet knowing that you care" I softly teased, watching as he blushed a little.

"You're so stubborn..." he grumbled before his lips tugged up into a small grin.

"I know" I chirped as he turned his attention back towards the giraffe.

"That long neck of yours sure looks like a weak spot to me" he remarked before lunging forward, immediately throwing himself into the fight.

"Sorry, but that's where you're wrong" Kaku shook his head as he dodged the swordsman. "The abilities I've gained allow me to freely control my neck with ease. Plus, I have a new attack—Nose Pistol!" he shot his head forward as Zoro's swords were quick to move and block his squared nose before it could strike him. Instantly, my hands flew up at the sudden gush of wind that blew by from the two clashing against one another.

"Whoa! We're all the way over here and I can still feel the shockwave!" Sniper King gaped as Zoro tossed the giraffe back and towards a nearby rock.

"A square-shaped hole?!" Nami gawked upon seeing the hope the giraffe had made with his nose. "That's an impressive nose—even more so than Sniper Sopp!" she gasped.
