One Piece (Love Story) [Part Two]

Chapter Two Hundred and Seventy Seven [Rewritten]

-Chapter Two Hundred and Seventy-Seven-

"Um...I'm sorry, but my injuries are quite terrible..." Brook apologized.

"It's fine, we understand" Franky assured him, not wanting him to worry that we might be mad at him should he want to sit the fight out due to his injuries. "You can still move around though, right?" he asked.

"Yes" the skeleton nodded.

"Then move yourself out of the way" Franky told him, motioning for him to go somewhere else so he wouldn't be caught up in the crossfire.

"We'll be fine, so you can go rest if you need to" I smiled.

"Of course" Brook nodded before hurriedly moving off to the side as the rest of us turned towards Oars once more who was currently hanging upside down as he peered into one of the nearby buildings. Most likely looking for us if I had to guess.

"Hey, Oars!" Sanji shouted. "If that's really Luffy's shadow you got inside you, then I probably shouldn't have to tell you this, but you should never underestimate the strength of your own damn crew!" he snapped.

"You tiny pirates are tougher than I thought you'd be!" Oars laughed as he jumped into the air and smashed back down onto the ground, knocking us back as more debris was thrown around.

"I'm tired of being thrown around so much..." Zoro grumbled in irritation. "What do you say we turn the tables and throw him around for a change?" he asked.

"Hey, come on, Zoro" Usopp frowned.

"I think that sounds like a great idea" I grinned.

"I can get behind that—we've let him have his fun for long enough" Sanji nodded.

"Hey, whoa—wait a minute! How are we supposed to throw him?" Usopp asked. "In case you haven't noticed, he's a giant!" he snapped as he motioned towards the towering zombie, looking at us like we had just gone insane.

"We noticed and don't forget he's got Luffy's speed and fighting skills as well" Zoro reminded.

"You know, I think he would make a terrible Pirate King" Robin remarked.

"No kidding" I chuckled.

"So how do we want to approach this then?" Franky asked. "I got a ton of plans, one of them's got to work."

"He has to have some kind of weak point" Chopper said.

"When you're frying a fish that big, you got to scale and debone it before you put it in the pan..." Sanji mumbled, speaking as if the zombie before us was nothing more than another meal for him to prepare.

"Maybe it's not completely hopeless, but I'm scared" Usopp shivered.

"Hm, that's nothing new" I hummed.

"Smashing time!" Oars laughed.

"Here he comes!" Zoro shouted as the zombie once again jumped into the air.

"Now, Gum Gum Giant Butt Stomp!" Oars landed harshly on his bottom, further damaging the ground and tossing even more debris around.

"That's not one of Luffy's move" Usopp pointed out.

"Looks like he's starting to get creative with his attacks" I frowned.

"Run!" Franky yelled when he saw that the giant was getting ready to initiate another attack.

"Gum Gum..." Oars lifted his fist as he prepared to send it flying.

"Franky, look out! He's coming right for you!" Zoro warned.
