Riku and Sanji got closer to the last ship as Luffy and the others sink more ships. The Sunny hasn't gotten any fights not that they want any. "It seems like the plan is progressing."
"Hopefully nothing bad happens." Usopp says looking at the fleet.
"I'm sure they'll be fine." Robin looks at the fleet too then looks down at the triplets playing around her. The triplets don't seem to understand what's going on but they are calm even without Sanji being here which is not like them. Sanji has been sticking to them so much so that when he's not with them they start to cry, right now they are perfectly calm like they know Sanji went to get their mom back.

"Damn Riku and Sanji what are they thinking!!" Nami yells as she uses her clima tact, thunder tempo. "I can't believe they didn't follow the plan." Nami sighs, but when has the plan ever really gone the way they hoped. "Luffy are you ok with this?"
"With what?" Luffy asks.
"You know what Sanji will do if he meets with Luka right?" Luffy punches the pirate and looks at Nami.
"We'll see." Luffy response. Nami just smiles, there he goes again. But it's not like they could do much now that Sanji and Riku went ahead. Nami understood Sanji and isn't surprised if they find Luka dead. Sanji lost Zoro twice, both times he was right there and couldn't do anything. At this point all he wants is Zoro back and safe and killing Luka is the only way to ensure that. Luffy also understands this. He's seen how Sanji is acting, he wants Zoro back and so does Luffy but the one hurt the most is Sanji.

Chopper and Agnes are up against the wall. They needed to sink this ship. It was the last one of this row. They were behind Luffy and Nami and they really needed to get this done not knowing what Sanji and Riku are doing. Everyone had guns if they make one wrong step they were done for. They needed something to distract them. Agness say from the corner of her eye someone taking a shot but it wasn't for her. Like a reflex she jumps in front of Chopper. Hearing a gunshot Chopper turns around to Agnes falling down.
"Agnes!!" Chopper yells as Agnes falls to the floor blood coming out from her chest. Chopper runs up to her turning into his chibi form. "I need to see your wounds." Chopper reaches for his backpack but Agnes stops him.
"It's alright. You need to sink this ship." She pulls Chopper closer and hugs him. "It's been fun. Don't worry about me, I was never supposed to live anyways." She smiles at Chopper. Her hand falls. Chopper wipes his tears and goes to the bottom of the ship and starts making holes for water to come in. Chopper fights his way back to the top to get off this shop and get to the next ship. As he jumps he takes a last look at Agnes, seeing her lay there a small grin still on her face. He looks forward, sorry he couldn't do more to help her but she told him to sink the ship.

Sanji and Riku land on the last ship finally. It's bigger than the others like Luka wasn't the only one on this ship. They walk around the ship trying to see if Luka was on board. It didn't seem like he was on the ship. They wonder around the ship looking into the rooms. No one is here. It almost seems like no one lives here at all. The kitchen is clean, like no one cooks in it. All the rooms are filled with dust and haven't been cleaned. They gather on deck. "I don't think he's here." Sanji says.
"That's good. We need to go below deck and find Zoro." Riku says looking around for the entrance to the deck below. "Did you see a suspicious door anywhere?"
"No." Sanji says thinking back.
"You look for Zoro. I'm going to stay and watch if Luka comes back, hurry and find him." Riku says. Sanji starts walking around the floor and into rooms looking at and through everything trying to find a secret door, a hidden entrance to the deck below. He couldn't find anything. Now he was smashing things trying to find the entrance, trying to find Zoro. After searching and searching he needed to calm down and think this through. What does he know about Luka? Luka seems possessive of Zoro. He'll keep him close, so maybe he's in his room. Sanji runs to what he assumes is Luka's room because it's the only one that's not full of dust. Looking around he doesn't see anything out of the ordinary. There's a big bed in the middle of the room it seems to be used because the sheets are messy and all over the bed. He looks around and finds a pile of close in the corner. Looking closer he sees the ones on the bottom are bloody. He turns his head to the left a little and sees a big door but it can't be the closet cause the closet is already open on the other side of the room. He reached for the handle and jiggled the doorknob. It's locked. He looks around the room for a key but doesn't see one so he does the next logical thing, he kicks the door open making a loud boom like sound. He walks down the stairs that are dimly lit. Once all the way down the stairs he looks around and sees that the room is fully lit up and full of cells. He starts to walk fast looking at all the cells. They are full of different men and even woman. He opens the cells to try to talk to them but they seem too hurt to do anything. They are all tied with rope around their hands and ankles. They all have blood around their mouths like they were coughing up blood. Sanji looks around the room for a cell that he hasn't looked in. He then spots the cell all the way in the back, he didn't look there yet. He rushes to the back cell as he thought about the good moments that have happened the last year. He couldn't joggle the cell door open like the others. He looks in but can't see the back clearly, the light didn't reach the back. He hears moaning like someone is waking up.
"S-Sanji?" That voice is Zoro's. No way he forgot how Zoro's voice sounds like. He tried over and over again to open to cell door but nothing worked, running out of patience he kicks the bars to the side leaving a wide enough gap to walk through. He walks in and sees Zoro beaten and scratched. One hand is chained to the wall while the other just lay there on the side. Zoro wore pants and an unbuttoned shirt, no shoes. Sanji sighs in relief, he has Zoro in his arms.
