One Piece (Love Story) [Part Two]

Chapter Two Hundred and Ninety Six [Rewritten]

-Chapter Two Hundred and Ninety-Six-

"Like you said, flying fish are defiantly faster than Fishmen and when it comes to sea creatures, they're in the top class" Pappagu agreed. "But, just to let you know, there is one creature that's even faster than that—mermaids" his grin seemed to just grow. "In every sea in this wide world, there's nothing big or small that could out swim a mermaid."

"She's really that awesome?" Luffy questioned. "I never knew..." he mumbled.

"Yeah, and if she wasn't spacing out all the time, nothing would ever be able to catch her" Pappagu told us. "It is what it is" he soon sighed with a shrug.

"I see" Luffy nodded. "Camie! We're counting on you, good luck!" he called out just as a bunch of fish burst out of the sea, pulling with them a rather gigantic anchor.

"Uh-oh! What is that?" Nami worriedly asked as the anchor was pulled right over our ship.

"Looks like an anchor, but crap—that's huge!" Franky gaped just as the men started to line the anchor up with the center of the ship. "This bites, there's no way we can survive that!" he grounded out upon realizing just what the men were planning to do.

"Those fish are pretty strong though to be able to hold something as heavy as that thing up" I whistled, sure it took four flying fish to hold and carry the thing, but that was still rather impressive when seeing just how massive the anchor was.

"Then dodge it! Use the burst or the paddles—we're done!" Usopp cried as Chopper began to run around the deck in a panic, screaming.

"No, it's too late!" Franky frowned. "Usopp! Hurry, come with me!" he suddenly ordered as he took off running.

"Huh? Oh, okay!" the sharpshooter nodded.

"Go to the bow and stay on standby!" Franky soon ordered.

"I don't get it, but whatever you say" Usopp shrugged.

"We're going to bust out our super-secret weapon" he grinned.

"What super-secret weapon?" the long-nosed pirate questioned with a frowned.

"They're going to sink the Sunny!" Luffy cried out.

"What?!" Zoro shouted.

"Somebody do something! Anything!" Brook cried.

"No!" Nami gasped.

"We seem to be in quite the pinch" Robin commented.

"It would appear so" I nodded, headed tilted back as I watched as the anchor was finally dropped. "I wonder how we're going to get out of this" I hummed.

"The Sunny won't die—believe it!" Franky proclaimed.

"The mane is spinning!" Usopp gasped the moment the mane of the figurehead started to rapidly spin. "Is that supposed to happen?" he nervously asked.

"Now die!" Duval sneered.

"Franky, hurry!" Usopp cried out the moment he saw just how close the anchor was getting to striking the ship.

"Emergency evacuation—Secret Weapon: Chicken Voyage!" Franky shouted just as the lion's mane started to spin faster and faster until finally, the whole ship flew backwards. Just barely did we avoid the anchor as it created a rather large splash the moment it hit the water. "Usopp, get inside the crow!" the cyborg suddenly ordered.

"Get inside?" Usopp questioned. "Whoa! It opens!" he gaped the moment he popped open the stairs that lead up to the figurehead.

"Don't worry, brother" Franky grinned. "We're not running away, the Sunny's got another trick that's going to knock your socks off."
