Lara's POV;

“Can you see Luffy or Zoro?” I asked while we flew back. It would quicken things up if we can find them now.

She answered quickly while pointing towards one direction. “Yeah, Luffy is stuck in between two houses and Zoro is head first inside a chimney.”

“Okay, You'll fetch the idiot, I'll go and get Zoro”, I said and started to jump towards the chimney Lia has pointed out for me.

I could see the legs sticking out and was giggling when I reached him. “Zoro, how stupid can someone be to get stuck like you? Or did you take a wrong turn again?”

His voice was muffled from the stone, but I could hear his annoyance when he answered. “Stop joking and get me out of here. What happened anyway?”

“Sanji snug on the sea train that brings Robin and Ussop to Enies Lobby. There are at least two more CP agents who are far stronger than the guy who kicked you away and they tried to kidnap Jo. But Lia and I got him.” I answered and patted Jo, who was still knocked out and slung over my shoulder. “Oh and Robin is not really betraying you, she fears the World Government and acts as if she's betraying you, in hope that you won't come and save her,” I added absent-mindedly and poked his leg.

It was muscular, way too hard. Lia's are nice and soft. “Stop doing that and get me out of here. If Robin really only tries to save us then we have to help her!” Shouted Zoro from under me. I glanced at the chimney and shrugged, before giving it a light kick.

The kick was Devil Fruit enhanced and made the stones of the chimney crumble to sand. Zoro, now freed, stood up and dusted the red sand off of his body. “I need my sword, then we have to find Luffy and get a ship to follow Robin.”

That was the moment we heard a loud rumbling sound. It came from the sea and we turned to look at what might have caused the noise.

What we saw was awe-inspiring. A wave, not mere meters but dozens of meters high, was coming at us. It spanned from one side of the horizon to the other and had already hit the outermost part of the scrapyard in front of Water 7.

“I think we should evade this,” I advised with a wide grin and grabbed Zoro before he could react. I flung him over my free shoulder and jumped up. I carried all three of us away from the titanic wave. Behind us, it crashed into streets, houses and walls.

Nothing could stop this destruction of nature and everything was ripped apart. The costs to repair all of this will be tremendous.

On our way back I spotted Chopper, he was running away from the wave like we were. He has seen us and turned around midway. I don't need to help him flee.

“Lara!” shouted someone from my side. It was Nami, who desperately clung to Lia. My sister was carrying Nami bridal style and had Luffy hanging on to her feet. She was using her Devil Fruit to fly and not Geppo.

“O hey Nami, Lia and I decided to help out when we found the train already departed,” I answered in greeting and pointed with my free hand at Zoro.

His position wasn't as graceful as Nami's, I had slung him over my shoulder like a sack of potatoes. But a bride style carry wouldn't have been graceful for him anyway. The way I was carrying him wasn't much liked, but appreciated. The alternative would have been a watery death.

We touched down in front of the awed Galley-La workers and Paulie. “So who are you guys? I know the Straw Hats, but I have never seen people dressed as bizarre as you,” questioned Paulie once everyone was back on their feet. The only exception was Jo, I'll heal him once we are alone.

“They are Lia and Lara, friends of us that are helping,” answered Luffy instantly and with a much too cheerful grin. “But more importantly is that we need a ship to follow Robin.”

Paulie shot his request instantly down. Without so much as a pause. “That's impossible. Any ship that set sails now will sink. I won't give you one just to kill yourselves.”

“But we need one to get to this Enies Lobby and get Robin back!” Shouted Luffy, he wasn't understanding why they won't give them one. Nor was he really caring about the possible consequences.

It showed that he is a good friend. But also his one-track-mind.

“You won't get a ship from us!” Declared Paulie with finality.

“Then we are going to take one. Our friends are waiting for us, we need that ship, even if it means by force!” The reaction of Luffy was swift and said with pure determination. He will go through with his words, even if it means he has to fight.

Paulie readied his rope in return, willing to fight so that they wouldn't die a watery death. Nami, Chopper and Zoro also got ready as well. Dead set on getting their friend back. It might have come to blows if a fat and old woman hasn't shouted for everyone to stop.

“Paulie is right. Setting sail now will only kill you all.” She said it matter of factly. It wasn't an option, but a certainty.

“You're annoying. Don't tell us what we can and can't do. We have to save Robin!” Luffy was by now slightly desperate to pursuit Robin, that's why he was more than a little bit more rude and aggressive than normal.

Kokoro, if I heard Nami right, turned around and began to walk away, but said at the same time, “If you're determined to get your friend back, even putting your lives on the line, then follow me. I'll start the sea train for you.”

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We gathered everyone and followed Kokoro down into an old warehouse. There she opened a gate for us and another sea train greeted our sight. It had a rocket like design and a shark-like face drawn on the front.

“This is the Rocket Man, a failed prototype,” explained Kokoro while drinking from a bottle of wine. Luffy was just about to shout his thanks when Iceburg came walking out of the train.

“So you're still alive?” asked Kokoro with a laugh.

Iceburg chuckled and nodded, before sitting down on a nearby crate. “Yeah, seems like we had the same thought. I filled the coal bunker and the water is heating up. You're ready to go.”

“Thanks,” I said before leading the rest of my crew inside the train. From the outside, we could hear the shouting of Luffy and how the friends of Franky asked to come with us.

“So what now? Are we going to storm Enies Lobby? One of the three main bases of the World Government?” Asked Nojiko with a slightly hysterical tone.

“Sure we do. They tried to kidnap Jo, we have to show them that it's a bad idea to mess with us,” I answered and put Jo down on a bench. He was several heavy bruises and broken bones. They must have found out about his Devil Frui, because he is wearing sea stone cuffs, which explains why he still has them broken. His Devil Fruit would have healed them by now.

Nojiko opened her mouth to argue, but I cut her off. “Let me heal Jo before we can argue.” With that said I took one of my daggers out and added my Devil Fruit power, before focusing and then cutting the handcuffs apart. The remains I threw over to Lia, who will use them for her ammunition.

After that, I activated my Angel Fruit and my hands began to glow. I touched Jo's forehead and the glow jumped over to him and every wound he has had. They visibly began to heal at a rapid pace and Jo woke up with a gasp.

He looked up into my face and screamed like a little girl, right before firing a sharp bone spear out of his hand into my face. Luckily I was quick enough to apply Haki on my mask and the bone shattered upon impact.

“Josef!” Shouted Nojiko in shock at his sudden aggressiveness.

Josef looked away from me and at Nojiko. Then to me and then to the rest of us standing around him. “I'm not dead?”

“Why should you be dead?” asked Fiara. She was standing on the board at the top of the bench so that she was at eye height with the sitting Jo.

“Because I woke up and was greeted by Death?” Asked Jo back sarcastically, while pointing at me. For a moment I wasn't sure what he meant, but then I remembered that Lia and I still had our masks on. The rest of us had put them away.

By the way, Fiara has a suit and mask as well. Hers have a gear around each eye, with the eye being in the middle. It was the mask for our mass effect technicians.

“I take that as a compliment. Anyway, what happened Jo? We found you with some World Government agents,” I said and pulled my mask up. Lia did the same and we all sat down to listen to Jo.

Jo positioned himself into a more comfortable position before explaining what happened to him.“I was out buying some things when a man with a clown mask and a woman with a weasel mask attacked me. They were fast and hit hard. I tried to fight back, but was not strong enough, not even after using my Devil Fruit. Each punch was strong enough to break even hardened bones. In the end, they knocked me out and the next thing I remember is waking up here and with your mask in front of my face.”

“Thanks for rescuing me, they would have transported me to Enies Lobby. And from there is no coming back.” He finished and looked relieved. Time to burst his bubble.

“Oh, we will go there. The Straw Hats have two members who were also kidnapped. And we will also have to pay them back for hurting you,” I said with a wide grin. Lia grinned as well, already imagining all the death she can spread.

The rest shuddered at our matching grins. “I know that grin. They have it when they really really want to do something violently, which more often then not involves the death of some Marines.” Observed Jonny. He and Yosaku were leaning against the back wall. Both looked quite badass with their black armour, new weapons and masks.

“But it's Enies Lobby. We can't just storm it and survive!” Protested Nojiko.

I had a single argument that will guarantee her coming with us, possibly even asking to let us go. “You do know that Nami will go whatever you or someone else says right? And with us there, we can make a survival of the Straw Hats more likely.”

Her mouth snapped shut and she grabbed her MK-M5, the black dial already in place and a lighting dial attached to its side. “No one is going to harm my Nai-chan!” Her eyes were burning with the fire of a sister that will protect her siblings, coming heaven or hell.

“And we have to show brother Zoro that we aren't the useless nobodies we once were!” Proclaimed both Jonny and Yosaku at the same time. They stood tall and proud, a strong and heavy presence around Yosaku and a deadly swift one around Jonny.

Noa shrugged and placed both his menacing hammers on his shoulder, before giving his opinion. “Well, they hurt Jo. No one should dare to hurt one of us.”

Fiara, the hyperactive little Tontatta, who Lia and I managed to twist in such a way that she was slightly brutal, was jumping up and down in delight. “Yay, we are going to pay the evil people back for hurting Jo. They will burn in my new napalm bombs.”

There was no need for Lia or me to proclaim our desire to go to Enies Lobby. They all knew that both Lia and I love the thrill of a fight and the adventure of a risky situation.

“Tell me why did I decide to come with you again?” Questioned Jo with a long sigh, but also with a fond tone. “Ah yes, because you promised we would do exactly what we are now planning to do. Helping people who are under attack of the injustice of the World Government.”

“Exactly, here is your suit,” I said and gave him his, before turning around to watch Kokoro readying the train. The Straw Hats were by now also slowly coming on board. Luffy was still outside with the Franky Family.

“Lara, we found your strange chicken, she was pecking on the door.” Said Nami when she saw me standing close to her. On her shoulder sat Mrs Chicken Wing, who looked slightly miffed about something.

“May I borrow Chopper to speak with her for a moment?” I asked her and the reindeer. Chopper nodded and Mrs Chicken Wing fluttered off of Nami to land on my own shoulder.

“Cluck?” “'Hello Failed Hunter, what did you want to ask?'” Translated Chopper instantly and with a slightly amused expression when he heard my nickname.

“Who was this pigeon? You looked awfully angry upon seeing him.” I asked directly. She was at his feathers the instant she came into the room and spotted the tie-wearing pigeon.

“Bough!” “'That was Andreas or also known as Hattori, the traitor. He betrayed me and my Basilisk and was the reason for why the Marines were even able to capture him. I tried to beat him down and get information about Basilisks whereabouts, but slippery bird escaped into the storm. We have to follow him and beat the location of Basilisk out of him!” Chopper was even mimicking the tone and expressions. A good translator.

“I see, well then it will be good for you to hear that we plan exactly that. This train will bring us to Enies Lobby, where Andreas will most likely be. You can hunt him there, he won't be able to escape again.”

Mrs Chicken Wing nodded and gave me an affectionate pat on the head with her wing. She then flew off of my shoulder and to the rest of my crew. I looked at Chopper and thanked him for his help in translation. He fidgeted a moment and shyly voiced an insult, before quickly running back to Nami and Luffy.

Good, that means that almost every one of us wants to go to Enies Lobby and that we have managed to hitch a ride with the Straw Hats. I'm really interested in these two new CP agents. Are there more or are those two the only ones this strong?

Whatever it will be, I will know soon, because Kokoro has just now started the train and launched us out off the warehouse, into the sea.

A moment later the whole train rumbled and two spears were shot through the back wall, something must have anchored into us. Maybe the Franky Family. Hehehe, Enies Lobby will be so much fun.
