Chapter One Hundred Nineteen ~ The Crew Scattered

~Third~

"Zoro!"Nicole yelled as he went down after being attacked, she didn't even have the time to register the voice telling her to dodge when she was kicked back over to Brook and Usopp "Nicole!"Usopp called before turning to the shadowy figure.

"Who are you? What are you? Whatever just get the hell away from Zoro"Usopp said aiming his slingshot "Back off Usopp, you're no match for this guy"Nicole said groaning a bit as she got up "That's admiral Kizaru"she said "An admiral?!"Brook and Usopp freaked out.

"Your time is up pirate hunter Zoro, last i checked you had a hundred and twenty million bounty, so this was not what i was expecting, you're reputation as a swordsman is known far and wide but one hit and your down?"Kizaru asked.

"You want someone to cross swords with?"Nicole asked drawing Kizaru's attention to her as she drew her swords "Try me on for size"she said "Ah, yes, you're Hawkeye's daughter, Kuzan said he had some trouble with you, yes let's see if that rumor holds up"Kizaru said facing her glare as Nicole stood infront of Zoro.

Kizaru lifted his foot up aiming a beam at Zoro but Nicole diverted the shoot with her own foot kicking away Kizaru's "Oh, i see that part holds up, you might be interesting after all"Kizaru said creating a sword of light, however as Nicole sensed someone approach she jumped back as Rayleigh clashed with Kizaru.

"Hey Usopp! You guys! Grab Zoro and get out of there!"Luffy said "Let's go Brook"Usopp said as Brook grabbed Zoro's sword "Sorry i'd love to stay and play but captains orders you know" Nicole shrugged a bit putting her swords away as she ran over to Usopp helping him pick up Zoro and running away from there.

"Everyone start running and look after yourselves! We can't win this one! We're too weak! Get moving!"Luffy yelled and the others started running away too, while Rayleigh held off Kizaru, Nicole checked on Zoro as Usopp carried him while they ran "He's alive at least"she said bringing some relief to herself as well.

"Put me down, just leave"Zoro was cut off as Nicole hit the back of his head "Don't you even dare think that!"she yelled at him and happened to look behind them as the Pacifista approached "We've got trouble"she said, Usopp and Brook freaked out seeing the Pacifista running after them.

They picked up the pase running faster but the pacifista was keeping up with them "You go on without me it's fine i'll hold him back"Brook said "Brook i can"Nicole was cut off "You must understand there comes a time when a man must put everything on the line"Brook said before turning to attack the Pacifista only to be blown away by a beam.

"Brook!"Usopp and Nicole called, the Pacifista continued to chase them when Sanji came in kicking down the Kuma clone "Sanji!"Nicole called as the Pacifista got back up aiming a shot at the cook but behind them came another blow.

Zoro was thrown off "Zoro!"Nicole panicked scrambling over to him and protecting him as the Pacifista got closer to them, she narrowed her eyes landing a hand on her sword "Amaterasu style first form Rising Sun!"she quickly said slicing the pacifista clean in half.

"I'll get Sanji you take Zoro"Nicole told Usopp "Uh right"Usopp said quickly snapping out of his amazement, his questions can wait until later, running was their priority now, the sniper picked up Zoro as Nicole went over to Sanji helping him up "Can you still run?"she asked "Yeah"Sanji nodded.

Their attention was drawn away as Chopper turned to his monster form to fight of Sentomaru and protect Luffy, Robin got Luffy out of there, "This is what it's come to then what? Can you do something Nicole?"Usopp asked "Against Sentomaru? I don't know, he's hard to gauge, these Pacifista are just a hunks of junk metal but him"Nicole trailed off.

Then Nicole's blood ran cold as another presence appeared on the battlefield "Nicole, please tell me this is another hunk of junk metal?" Usopp pleaded more scared then ever "I'm sorry to say, this is the real deal"Nicole said shifting herself over to Zoro who was still laying on the ground.

"This is officially too, much i can't take it! The real Kuma! And at the worst time! It isn't fair!" Usopp cried as Zoro tried getting up "Stay down Zoro!"Nicole hissed at him forcing him back down but not taking her eyes off of Kuma "I see you survived Roronoa"Kuma said.

"Just barely, i've got your mercy to thank for that"Zoro said trying to get up only to get pushed back down as Nicole glared up at Kuma "This time, you'll have to go through me to get to him" she said "I see, if you'd like to take a vacation where is it you'd like to go?"Kuma asked taking his gloves off, Nicole didn't reply and in the blink of an eye, she disappeared.

"NICOLE!"Zoro yelled and glared at Kuma as a demonic aura surrounded him, he had trouble getting up as he faced the warlord "What did you do to her?"he asked with a growl "The same thing i'm going to do to you, though you won't be ending up in the same place"Kuma spoke before Zoro too disappeared in the blink of an eye.
