One Piece (Love Story) [Part Two]

Chapter Two Hundred and Fifty Nine [Rewritten]

-Chapter Two Hundred and Fifty-Nine-

"Another crew member with Devil Fruit powers?" Stansen grounded.

"Music...?" Usopp muttered the sound of music suddenly started to play and echo through the air. "Hey...you guys hearing what I'm hearing? It's coming from this way..." he nervously pointed in the direction he thought the music was coming from.

"I hear it too, weird" Nami frowned.

"Where's it coming from though?" I asked as I began to look around, squinting my eyes in an attempt to locate the source of the sound.

"Something's coming" Zoro suddenly pointed.

"No way! The Marines are here!" Usopp screamed at the sudden Marine ships that were heading towards us.

"What?!" we shouted.

"How the hell did they track us down so fast?!" Zoro grounded through clenched teeth.

"Perfect, just what we need" Sanji frowned.

"No!" Usopp fearfully cried.

"How could they have possibly known our location? There's barely anything out here" I frowned, confused as to how the Marines could have even bothered learning where we were when there wasn't anyone this far out that could have tipped them off to our location. I doubt there were any bases around here either.

"Get us out of here, Nami!" Luffy shouted.

"Go away!" Usopp sobbed before screaming at the sudden sound of explosions as if they had started firing at us. "We're under attack! They're shooting at us!" he panicked as his crying increased. "Nami, hurry! They're going to blow us to bits!" he frantically shouted.

"I know, I know—stop yelling!" Nami snapped. "Sanji!" she shouted at the blond who had already taken his place at the steering wheel.

"Aye! Aye!" he nodded as he started to turn the wheel.

"More Marines dead ahead!" Zoro called from the figurehead where he and Luffy now stood.

"Nami, do something!" Luffy shouted.

"Quick! Turn left!" Nami ordered.

"Right!" Sanji nodded.

"What?! No way!" Nami gasped as more Marine ships appeared. "There too? They're everywhere!" she cried in distress as our way out was quickly blocked.

"It's like they're just appearing out of thin air..." I muttered, baffled by the sight of so many Marines this far out.

"You're kidding? We're screwed!" Zoro frowned.

"That's a lot of boats!" Luffy gawked.

"No! We're surrounded!" Nami cried the moment she realized that the ships had gathered around us and were now caging us in.

"Holy crap! Nami, help us!" Usopp pleaded as he clung to her legs. "Do something!"

"Shut up already! I'm doing the best I can!" she irritably snapped.

"Nami, take a look! Over there!" Sanji suddenly shouted as he pointed towards a convenient opening in the Marines' formation—one just big enough that we'd easily be able to fit right on through.

"What is it? An escape route?" Nami blinked as she curiously walked over to the ship's railing to get a closer look, dragging Usopp behind her as he continued to cling to her leg.

"What? Where?! Where?!" he frantically asked as he scrambled to his feet. "Let me see! Hey, you're right—think we can make it?!" he hopefully asked.

"Go for it!" Nami ordered.
