(A/N: Almost caught up with One Piece, cause Gear 5 comes out 2 days before my birthday)

"We're almost to the Biscuit Room! It's this way!" Mocha pointed in front of us, and Chopper told us to keep moving. Since they were both currently larger than me, I had to run pretty fast to keep up with them, so I was behind slightly.

We ascended a staircase with a small hallway with only one wall. The wall was opposite the staircase we came up, and on either side of the hallway's exits were doors. Mocha led us to the exit on our left.

"Are we close enough yet?" A voice cried from behind us, and we all stopped, turning to the doorway behind us. There was only one door open of the French doors, and it was only slightly ajar.

"I just want the candy!" A second voice barked, clearly closer than the other.

"That sounded like the kids," I looked to Chopper, who didn't take his eyes off the door.

We ran towards the entryway after confirming the silhouettes of the children through the door. Chopper headed in front of us and closed the large metal door, shutting with a ringing boom. He gave me a look, and I used a large plank of wood to put through the handles so that it wouldn't open from the other side.

"We can't let them get past this door!" Chopper said as I finished placing the wood, "Mocha, If you wanna save your friends, you gotta help me!"

"I-I can try!" She said, putting her hands on the door. I could hear the screams from the kids on the other side.

"Is that you, Mocha? Let us in!" One yelled, barely audible over the banging.

"Yeah! The candy is in the biscuit room!" That one sounded like Synd.

"Listen to me!" Chopper said, putting his hands on the door, standing to my right, "No matter what happens, we can't let them in here!"

"Right!" Mocha and I answered in unison.

I looked to Mocha, looking as if she had an Idea, and turned to us, "Hey!"

"Huh?" Chopper asked.

"You said the candy is bad, but what makes it bad?" She timidly asked.

Chopper seemed hesitant to answer, and he turned his attention to the door we were holding, "It just is."

I understand his want to not tell them. These kids trusted their 'Master', but if we hide the truth, she could think Chopper is lying. She gave me a look, and I looked to Chopper, giving him a look. I leaned and whispered, "It wouldn't be wise to leave her in the dark. What if she doesn't believe us?"

We held the door for a few minutes as Chopper explained the situation rather bluntly, considering she is a child, but suddenly, Mocha fell to the floor, leaning on her knees and wiping the tears I didn't realize she was crying.

When I looked at her, she looked up, a determined yet tearful look on her face, "Okay! I promise I won't let anyone eat the candy! Then we can all go home together, right?"

"You bet!" Chopper smiled.

The voices behind the door and the banging got louder, and we realized why fast.

The kids were banging so hard on the door that it was bending open, the cracks between the metal letting more noise through. Mocha got back up and tried pushing, but I turned to Chopper.

"Chopper," I pushed harder, "They're gonna break through here any second now! Instead of keeping the kids from the candy, why not keep the candy from the kids?"

"You're right!" he said, " (Y/N), take Mocha with you, and find a way to get rid of that candy! I'll hold them here for as long as I can!"

"O-Okay! I'm worried about you two, though!" She cried, and I smiled at her.

"Don't worry! Chopper's super strong! Let's go!" I said, and I saw Chopper smile at me.

As Mocha and I took our hands off the door, we saw the wood I put previously start to shatter in the middle, looking like it would snap at any moment.

"I'm counting on you guys!" Chopper called after us. As we reached the hallway Mocha pointed down previously, we heard the metal door fall off of its hinges.

Mocha wanted to turn around, but I grabbed her large hand as best I could, and looked at her, "Chopper will be alright. Trust me!"

~~~

"It's in here!" Mocha said, pointing to a large metal door that had a salmon-pink outline. We both pushed open a door and-  wow, this actually looks nice!

It had three rooms. Three large circles that are all connected. Although these are for children, they are still giant children, so they were incredibly large rooms. Each room was connected to the other two. No matter which circular room you were in, there were entrances to either of the other two rooms. The walls were covered in warm childish things, like nature, rainbows, clouds, and stars. The floor was an orange carpet with pink lines, the same as the outline on the door, making it look flannel.

We ran through the first door, and low and behold, there was an oddly large piece of candy in the middle of the room, sealed tightly by a white wrapper with orange stripes.

"That's it!" She pointed as we approached it.

"Only one?" I asked as we stopped running.

"No, it's like a big bag. There are tons of little ones inside!" She said, and I nodded, picking it up. I wrapped my arms around the candy. It was large, and my arms fit around it perfectly, but as I grabbed it, I could feel the amount of candy inside. There were pieces about the side of the small of my palm, so I had to be careful. A strong impact would make these fall everywhere.

"Alright, now we need a safe place to hide this..." I said. Mocha gasped, and I turned towards the first room, seeing a few more kids come into the room, followed by the rest. I held the container tightly to my chest.

'Chopper...'

The kids looked insane. You could barely see their iris' or their pupils, as their eyes looked completely white, and they were running towards us, squeezing through the doorway and tripping over one another to get to us.

"We've gotta go!" I said, and Mocha nodded, but I heard a familiar voice.

"Mil Fleurs. Gigantesco Mano!"

"Robin!" I gasped. She used two large hands to keep the children at bay. From under the arms, a few kids slipped through, as well as a few crewmates!

"There they are!" I heard Nami say, as she was holding a beaten-up Chopper, and in her own body.

The giant hands disappeared and I looked to Mocha, "Mocha! Run left on three!"

She seemed confused and nodded anyway. I looked back at the kids, realizing how close they are, and immediately screamed, "Three! THREE!"

She ran left, and I headed directly behind her, running with the candy close to my chest. They followed Mocha, but once they realize she doesn't have it, they'll be right on my tail.

"You can't have any! Can't you see it's bad for you?!" I heard Mocha yell at them, "I'm telling you guys, this is what's making us sick!"

I heard the footsteps stop for a second, then mentally prepared myself as the footsteps and yells got louder for Candy.

"(Y/N)! Run!" I heard Chopper call out, and I nodded to myself.

I watched them flood into the third room, and I yelled. I ran faster than them, however. While they just entered the third room, I was almost out of it. I could see the exit, as the door was open and I could see the familiar metal walls of the lab.

I had hope until something filled the hallway. It was white, but from my distance, I couldn't tell exactly what it was. At least, I couldn't, until a giant cold front that looked as thick as fog came into the room, stopping me and the kids behind me in our tracks.

I looked back up and saw that the exit was full of... Ice? Snow?

I took a weary step back, and called backward, "The exit's blocked! What should I do?!"

I heard a low chuckle that sounded like an echo, and an unfortunately familiar voice ring out, "You don't have to worry about a thing, (Y/N) dear."

I looked up, taking another step back upon seeing the bird lady from before, sitting on the railing that circled the second floor of the biscuit room.

"It's you! The crazy bird-woman from the burning side!" I yelled, loud enough for my crew to hear.

I looked at her as she looked down at me with an amused look on her face. I saw Mocha run past me, "Monet, help us! Please!"

"Mocha. You and your friend shouldn't hog all of the candy. Be nice girls and share it with the others, okay?" Monet said, stopping Mocha in her tracks.

"Huh?" Mocha gasped.

"Mocha, don't listen to her,!" I said to Mocha, as the little girl turned and looked at me, who was on her left.

Money closed her wings, and I watched waves of what fell like snow come off of her wings, and when she opened them, another burst of wind, this time laced with snow, filled the room. I heard wings flapping, and Monet was using her wings to make the large gust as well as keep her afloat.

Monet flapped her wings harder, and I felt the hood and the bottom of my parka blowing in the fierce snow.

"Monet? But why?" Mocha asked from my right.

I looked at Monet, and she made eye contact with me, licking her lips.

~~Somewhere else~~

Law picked himself up from the ground shakily, "Lemme guess, you're pissed off because your scheme has come crashing down all around you. This thing's really important to you guys, huh?" Law asked, glancing quickly at the massive metal silo behind him, with the large red letters, 'S.A.D.' labeled on the front.

"It's a hunk of junk!" Law barked, and Vergo scoffed.

Vergo stopped in his footsteps and reached into the pocket of his jacket, "I would watch your mouth if I were you, Law-" He cut himself off with a subtle gasp, and proceeded to check his pockets, until Law's chuckle got louder, echoing through the room.

"Looking for something?" [Law]

~~Back with (Y/N)~~

"Mocha, there's no way you two can eat all of that candy alone, so you might as well share it with the others. Stop being greedy, and do as you're told. Don't make your friends suffer," Monet said, and I scoffed under my breath. Monet knows damn well that Mocha is the most selfless one here right now.

"NO! I can't do that!" Mocha cried, "It's bad and we shouldn't eat it anymore!"

Monet gasped, but as soon as the shock appeared, it went away, "My, you're a difficult girl."

"Hey, you! What are you doing to these children?!" I heard Nami yell from behind us, but I didn't dare take my eyes off of Monet.

"Yeah! You'd better tell us and make it snappy!" Usopp added, "You don't know who you're messing with, lady!"

"Actually, I am well aware. You see, I do my research, so I know you all," she smirked, then looked behind me, "You're the infamous Straw Hat pirate crew," Then she looked back at me, "The pleasure is all mine."

"So... who're you?" I could hear Zoro's voice from where Nami's and Usopp's came from.

Monet chuckled, "I am Monet. With the power of the Snow-Snow Fruit." She chuckled, and the wind got stronger, to the point where even Mocha had to balance herself, at her size.

The kids behind us started to push forward through the snow, and so did we. Everyone was running slower, as did we, as we ran to the opposite door.

'Every room has three doors or more. Two entrances to the other rooms and exits. This room has two exits and two entrances. I hope we can make it...'

I looked behind me, heading to the second exit, hearing the kids behind us, "Are you serious?! All of this for candy?!"

"You just want it all for yourself!" The blonde, Synd yelled. He was the first kid to show negative reactions in the cave. As we were running, I heard a few yells, then Metal hitting metal. I'm assuming Zoro had picked a fight, and the only person it could be with was Monet.

As I heard more rapid clashes, sounding like swords, we had made it to the exit, and Mocha yelled once she saw how close the kids behind us were.

We turned a sharp corner, slipping on the metal as we kept running.

'This is bad. It'd be fine if it was just me, but now, Mocha's in danger, and the kids are after her and the candy. I either need to get her away, or get rid of the candy for good, before she or the other kids get hurt!'

'I can't let her get hurt! She's too young for all of this, and I promised Chopper!'

"I'm sorry guys!" Mocha said. She tried to yell it to them, but I think her voice was tired from the cold and the yelling, "Now that Chopper told me what this stuff does, I can't let you have it!"

A lot of the kids got tripped, and I realized it was Robin, as a few kids yelled about tons of hands.

'So they've caught up! Good, less of a chance for Mocha to get hurt!'

Although Robin stopped a lot of them, she could only stop the smaller ones, so most of the big ones were still behind us.

Nami ran behind us and in front of the kids, "Don't stop, okay?"

"Right!" Mocha responded, and Nami glanced back at me, giving me a nod, which I returned with a smile.

Robin was in the back, While Nami was with us in the front, fending the kids off if they got too close with her 'Milky Ball', which is the same as the clouds in Skypeia.

As we were running, Robin and Nami were using their abilities to immobilize the children, then Chopper would inject them with the sedatives, which he said would help calm them down and get them through withdrawals.

Synd broke from the cloud, and lunged at us, being stopped successfully by Robin. Chopper told us to go on ahead and that they'd hold them back.

We had gotten some distance from them, and got to a large open room, with a long staircase in front of us. We headed down, but it was clear Mocha was getting tired. She stopped and panted heavily about halfway down the steps, and I stopped next to her.

"Mocha, I know you're tired, but if you stay here, you might get hurt," I said to her, and she looked up.

"Where to now? This place is huge! I don't know where we are!"

"Mocha anywhere away from those kids is the best option," I said, standing in front of her, readjusting the candy in my hold.

The voices boomed behind us. They're catching up.

They were at the top of the stairs and we got bombarded. Mocha was being pushed around, and I was next to her. I connected wood to the bottom of my feet to keep me on the floor so I wouldn't get thrown around, but I was still being pushed roughly as I held the candy tight.

Mocha had her hands on the candy as best she could, pulling with me as we tried to keep it from them.

The wood around my feet had shattered and I was forced onto my back, as Mocha was pushed to her knees, trying to stay with me as we pulled the candy from them.

"If you eat it, you'll never get to leave here! Don't you wanna go home to your mommies and daddies?!" Mocha yelled.

'If I use my devil fruit, I'll hurt them, and Chopper would kill me! Not to mention Nami!'

'What do we do?!'

One of the kids who was yelling the most, the same size as Mocha started pulling on her hair. She was getting hurt.

"I just wanna get off this stupid island and go back home! I want all of us to leave here! I can't give it to you!" Mocha cried. One of the kids pushed his whole body into me, and I let go of the candy, though Mocha grabbed it.

I sat up, trying my best as I pushed against a few kids, and watched as she ate... she...

"MOCHA!" I cried as she shoved handfuls of the candy into her mouth. I yelled so loud I could hear how much my throat closed.

I got so scared, it felt as if everything was black and white, as I watched her eat every last piece. I couldn't hear anything, nor could I move, as a child tackled me. She was eating handfuls of drugs to protect these kids, and I couldn't do anything! I couldn't get her or the candy away fast enough! I couldn't protect her!

I watched as the wrapper fell to the floor, and the smoke Synd mentioned came from her mouth, as she tried her hardest to hold it shut.

I heard Chopper yell for her as well, and I was frozen in shock. I felt the tears slip from my eyes as Chopper's voice slowly got closer, yelling for her to spit them out.

"It's not too late! You can still spit them out!" Chopper screamed at her.

I felt the tears move rapidly as she swallowed them, and fell on her side, tumbling down the rest of the stairs.

"MOCHA!" I yelled again, straining my throat as I watched her cough blood, the blood splattering all over the floor. I tripped and stumbled a little down the stairs, tears clouding my vision, but I stood, and raced to her side, seeing if she could hear me, sobbing through my words.

She was trembling, holding her throat. She was sweating as a few drops of blood went down the side of her face.

"I think... she puked blood." One kid mumbled.

"Hey... she really doesn't look good." Another said.

"Why though? All she did was eat the candy?"

"That's what happens when you're greedy," One kid remarked and I snapped.

Chopper ran to my side as I stood and turned to the kids around Mocha, anger coursing through me.

"See now?! This is what eating candy really does to you! Do you get it?! Mocha sacrificed herself...for you! To save you!" I cried to the children, and they all took weary steps backward.

"Chopper, if you wanna sedate them, now is your best chance!" Nami said, her voice shaky.

"I have to treat her!" Chopper sobbed, and I held my fist close to my chest, shaking in anger.

'Why would I let her do that?! I'm so stupid!-'

"The children are standing still! Let's go!" a voice cried, one I recognized.

I looked to the top of the stairs to see Sanji leading tons of marines toward the kids and holding them down.

They took some kids down the stairs, and he met us down there.

"S-Sanji..." I mumbled through my tears as Chopper gasped.

"Medical team, you're up!" Sanji called, and a group of marines came over to help us, "Chopper, use these guys. They know a thing or two.

A dozen marines or so lifted Mocha with Chopper on top of her, and they headed for an examination room. As they rushed past me, I made eye contact with Sanji, and he ran towards me, a concerned face present.

"(Y/N)?" he asked quietly as I reached for him. I fell into him, holding his shirt in both of my fists and leaning my head into his chest.

"S-She ate the candy, a-and I let her... I-I'm so sorry...!" I mumbled into his shoulder.

We stayed that way for a moment until he put his hands on my shoulders, "(Y/N), it wasn't your fault, but right now, we need to help the other kids..." he said quietly, and I looked up at him, "You know how to give a shot, right?"

I wiped my tears on the sleeve of my parka and nodded.

He smiled, "Alright, then let's get to work."

I nodded again, even though the tears had already replaced the discarded ones. We had sedated all of the kids, and after explaining the whole situation to everyone, we headed to Building R. I still had tears in my eyes, but only because I had no idea if Mocha was okay, and no idea if Choipper could help her. I trust his skills, but skill or not, she ate a lot of raw drugs.

As we were running, the whole building began to shake, and pieces were falling everywhere. I was using my devil fruit to block some of these things, by making a giant shield and reinforcing it with Haki, protecting the children from debris.

"Now the ceiling's falling in on us, too?!" Sanji barked.

"The whole laboratory is shaking!" Nami gasped.

"Look at the cracks! Gas is seeping in!" Robin warned us.

This is my first time seeing the gas. It was a deep magenta color, more on the purple side.

"Great, what now?" Nami asked.

"We keep going! Everyone, to Building R!" Robin cried, and everyone kept moving, as the Straw Hats present kept defending them.

Behind me, I heard people call about the captain arriving. Does that mean Tashigi?

I looked at where everyone was speaking, and I saw a green outfit and a bright pink outfit.

"ZORO!" Sanji yelled at them, "What the hell do you think you're doing carrying her over your shoulder like a sack of flour?!"

"Not this way! Turn back!" Nami cried.

Zoro did just stat, stopping just before an angry Sanji and running in the opposite direction.

After running for a while longer, I kept up the rear and helped using my devil fruit to push the kids forward, making sure no one was left behind or caught in the gas.

I heard Nami yell for Luffy and I felt mentally relieved, though only slightly. I knew Luffy would be okay. I'm not sure about Mocha. She has a whole life, she shouldn't let it go so quickly because of someone else's evil gain.

The children seeing the room gave them a mental push forward, but I stopped once I knew they would be alright. The gas was pretty far away because we made a lot of twists and turns, so I should be alright to stay in the hallway. As things fell down around me, I stood in the hallway, right in front of the door, as I waited for Chopper, hearing Zoro and Robin talk behind me.

Zoro yelled something at me, but I didn't answer and heard Robin explain something. Then, they both left the room.

I could feel a few eyes on me, but I kept mine in the hallway. I've promised myself, Nami, and Chopper that Mocha will be alright, and I let her get hurt. As long as they find a way to help her, I'll do everything in my power to help them. Plus, I have a few ideas regarding the gas.

'I believe the gas only activates when it touched human skin. Caesar mentioned something like this when he was walking to those men who planted the 'snack' for Smiley.'

'I remember he told them to take their gas suits off to continue running. Why would he say to do that unless he knew they'd be safe in their suits? So, I'll use a move I tested over the years I was training. One Franky gave me the idea for, actually.'

I looked at my hand. It was shaking slightly.

'Although, I've never had to use it in battle, so I'm not sure how this could go. I could die. But I'll gladly risk my life for many more.'

The gas entered the back of the hallway, and I felt my hands shake more. I heard the mechanical doors shutting behind me, but I stayed watching.

Law yelled at Luffy and the rest of us to get on something that they had planned, I believe a cart or something, but Luffy spoke my full thoughts.

"I'm waiting for my whole crew!" [Luffy]

I saw the shadow of the door closing behind me and was starting to get nervous until I heard Chopper's voice.

"LUFFY!"

"Chopper!" I called, waving my arms around like a lunatic. I felt the tears resurface as I saw Mocha, who looked to be okay, as well as Chopper, Brook, and the samurai.

I used my devil fruit and extended my arms all the way to them, having them connect like a hammock in the back, and rocketing them all towards me, over my head, into Building R.

There was still room before the door closed and before the gas reached us, so I looked to Luffy, as he looked at me with a smile.

"Watch this!" I said, and I used my devil fruit to proceed with my plan.

I put my hand in my pocket, and held onto the mini transponder snail Nami[Franky] gave to me before, when we left for the Assasins, as well as the two hearts in the pockets of my parka. I enclosed my arms, legs, and torso with wood, and added the necessary functions, including a helmet to protect my skin.

When I was finished, I looked a lot like a Mech-suit robot you'd find in kids' rooms. Most of this idea was from Franky, so I have to give him most of the credit.

I extended my hand and covered the entire mech suit in Haki, showing a thumbs up, "I'm going to go to Franky! You guys make sure the kids are safe!"

Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper were gawking at how cool I looked, and I basked in that glory as the door shut.

I looked at the Mech suit's arms.

'So I was right! I assumed the oils on the skin activate the gas, which causes a reaction, and turns the people to stone! Ha! And people say I'm not smart!'

Sure, Law, Zoro, Nami, Sanji, and Robin looked concerned, but now that the door's shut and I'm still able to move, think, and breathe, I think I'll be okay.

I started running down the hallway, feeling a twinge of sadness passing all of the statues of marines from the G-5.

~~In Building R~~

"Luffy! We can't just leave her! She might get hurt, or get turned to a statue!" [Nami]

"Don't worry! She showed me how strong she's gotten. If she's confident like that, I'm sure she'll survive! Shishishi!" [Luffy]

~~Somewhere else~~

"Shurororo! Smoker, you're heart is still in my hands! And I'm not going to hell alone!" [Ceaser]

~~Back with (Y/N)~~

I made it out of the front door and followed the larger-than-normal footprints in the snow. My goal was Franky and the Sunny, as well as seeing if I could find Ceaser along the way. I overheard that Luffy got so pissed with Ceaser that he blew him away instead of capturing him.

I ran, following the battle marks. They must've put our ship on the edge somewhere.

After a while of running, the factory exploded behind me, encouraging me to pick up the pace, which I did. I saw the gas fade to smoke, following the smell of fire. Once a reached the edge of the island, I saw a tanker ship, with the initials S.A.D on it, and the Sunny, along with an on-fire- Franky and someone I didn't recognize.

She was wearing a magenta dress with white ruffles on the edges, holding a cigarette, and had orange goggles over her eyes and dark blue hair. Now that the gas had gone, I didn't want to be seen, so I made the wood of the Mech suit retreat back into my body as I heard a new voice.

"Hey, hey, Baby 5!" the voice called, coming from the sky. It looked like a giant orange blob with three black spikes coming from the front, and chains around its body, though not hindering its movement, "Are you sure you want to keep this weapon? I mean, you can turn into whatever weapon you want?" The man in the orange asked, the black propeller over his head spinning fast enough to keep him airborne.

"Thanks for grabbing it, Buffalo. That was sweet." The female in the pink dress said.

'So she must be Baby 5, and that must be Buffalo'

"That weapon's imbued with magic powers, you know!" The girl now known as Baby 5 called, then explained how she basically got scammed, which the orange man now named Buffalo called out.

'Man, I'm dealing with a couple on Numbskulls then?'

I made my way to the tanker sealing my presence from them. I climbed up the side of the tanker and once I got on deck, I watched as Franky stood behind baby 5 in his own robot form.

"I dunno who you creeps are, but I'll tell ya who you're dealing with. I am the one and only invincible Iron pirate! Woo!" Franky cheered as he attacked her, and she dodged.

Once she stepped away, I extended my arms into the air, "Franky you look so cool!"

"Wow! Is that the coolest sister on the sea? To help fight baddies with me? SUPER!" he rhymed, as he looked at me, running towards him.

The girl from before, Baby 5, turned her upper half into a rocket and shot at us. Franky covered me with his arm and sent the bullets back, "Guess she didn't like my song..." He said as I chuckled.

She landed on the floor of the ship, and I heard the orange guy, Buffalo, yell at her "Heads up!"

She extended her arms and caught a massive silver gun, looking like a bazooka, and aimed it at Franky. I dodged as he blocked.

Between them, it was pretty much a steady back-and-forth for a while. She'd shoot, he'd deflect and send it back, and she'd dodge and shoot again. She got above him and used the green one, which looked like a machine gun, then switched to the silver one, and shot a few cannonballs.

She smirked at the smoke, seemingly satisfied with her work, but she underestimated Franky. Franky sang, "I am an Invincible Iron Pirate! SUPER!" he finished with his signature pose.

"Ugh! After an attack like that, even a Pacifista would be busted up!" She complained, and the orange guy flew behind her, me now seeing the size difference.

"Who does this guy think he is? And why won't he just get out of our way?" Buffalo asked.

"'Cause you guys are tryin' to steal my cola!" Franky yelled.

"Cola? He's outta his mind!" Buffalo called.

"Cola's my primary energy source!" [Franky]

"Who gives a damn? I know I don't!" [Baby 5]

"Somethin' the matter, Weapon Woman? Aren't you gonna transform some more? Heavy artillery's a good look for you." [Franky]

"Well, then you're gonna love this!" [Baby 5]

She dropped the two large guns and called, "Weapon-morphosis! Flying disc girl!"

Exactly as the name suggested, she flew into the air, looking like a top with a razor blade on the edges

Buffalo flew to her and grabbed her by the legs, sending the razor-top girl towards Franky.

"That the best you can do?" [Franky]

He used his sword to deflect her, but before she landed, she transformed into something else and landed on Buffalo's back.

"Oh? Whatta you got this time?" [Franky]

"Fire girl!" She called and turned her top half into a flamethrower, which Franky blocked with his hands, as the Buffalo guy fanned the flames with his propeller.

"Ow! Ouch, Ouch, Ouch! Ow, Ow, Ow, Hot, Hot, HOT!!" I heard Franky yell as he was engulfed in fire.

Baby 5 turned back to normal and spoke, sounding like a monologue, "No enemy, however strong, is immune from the burning passion of Fire Girl's "flame of love-"

"Except Franky!" He teased, "General A-Okay!" His mech suit practically glimmered in the remnants of the fire.

'SO COOL!'

"WHAT?!" Baby 5 yelled.

"Bring it on! I'm ready for more, Fan Man and Weapon Woman!" [Franky]

"Any fresh ideas? He's one tough customer. Nothing's even slowed him down yet!" [Buffalo]

"Beg if you please, but you can't have my cola!" [Franky]

"Idiot! I told you we don't care about your damn cola!" [Baby 5]

"It must be a diversion tactic! This guy's tryna keep us here! Hey, baby! You thinkin' what I'm thinkin'? We serve him up something special that no one's ever been able to block." [Buffalo]

"Try your best, it won't matter. SUPER-nothing'll-work!" [Franky]

"We'll chop 'ya up! Down to nuts and bolts!" [Buffalo]

She turned into a boomerang with a knife on the end connected to a chain the fan man threw, acting like a grappling hook, which pierced through Franky's suit forearm. Franky was impressed they were able to put a hole into the general.

"Okay, I'll give you props. It's not every day someone's got enough power to punch a hole through the General Body. But I gotta say, what're you trying to do, it's like a praying mantis lookin' to sink a battleship."

Franky grabbed the chain with one hand, pulled Bufalo, and removed Baby 5 with his other hand.

"You're in for a treat. The Thousand Sunny will conquer the whole sea one day! But in the meantime, I'm gonna give you a taste of its ultimate secret weapon. Don't tell anybody else though, 'cause it's a secret!"

"What?" I asked myself.

"The land-based... Portable Gaon Cannon!"

I bet if anyone saw me, I'd have literal sparkles coming from my eyes.

"PORTABLE GAON CANNON?!" I asked, and I heard Franky chuckle. He put his hands together and his forearms blew up like balloons.

"...General Cannon!" he called, and blasted them both. He shot them into the rocks nearby.

"Huh? Who's that passed out down there? Looks like Ceaser," he asked, and I looked to where he was.

"Holy shit! It is Ceaser!" I yelled.

"Wonder how he got all the way out here," Franky hummed.

I sighed as the two Franky just hit stood up, "Franky, deal with them, and I'll retrieve Ceaser."

"You got it, sister!" he said, and I jumped over the edge, landing on the wooden dock, that was once covered in snow.

I noticed he was breathing heavily and was actually conscious as I stood over him.

He glanced at me, and didn't change his facial expression, "Y-You're the... Celestial Dragon riding with the Straw hats-"

I grabbed his throat, my hand covered in Haki.

"Wrong. I'm a Straw Hat with a crazy Celestial Dragon after me," I grumbled, annoyed, and extended Haki-covered wood from my hand, wrapping it around his body. I may not have Sea prism stone, but if I completely trap him in something surrounded by Haki, he may be forced to a standstill.

I slowly encased his whole body in a coffin shape, but the difference is this one doesn't have a door. It's truly a box with no escape. The only chance he has of getting out would be if I retracted the wood.

I tilted the coffin upward, listening to his banging and complaints as Baby 5 and Buffalo claimed nothing will stop them...

... until a giant cart disrupted their monologue, containing everyone from Building R.

I smiled when I saw them. All of the children, most of the G-5.

I say this is a win.

(A/N: My sister and I's inside joke is Somic the Hemhog. There's no real point, but it makes me crack up because it's stupid)
