Steve's POV
"Wait so Robin didn't betray us!?" Chopper said with a big smile.
"That's good." Nami said letting out a sigh.
"We just have to find the others and we can go get her." I told them.
"Gotcha, but where do we start looking?" Wyper asked.
"Wait a moment." Iceberg said "If you plan to go after Nico Robin you need to hurry. The Sea Train is leaving at Eleven o'clock. It's highly likely she will be aboard with the other government officials. After that the Sea Train will stop running and you won't be able to get a ship out in Aqua Laguna"
"This is bad! What time is it?!" Nami asked.
"It's 10:30." Iceberg told her.
"We have a half-hour!" Chopper yelled.
"Can you stop the train?" Wyper asked.
"Not when it's going to Enies Lobby I can't." Iceberg explained.
"Crap we have to hurry. Chopper I want you and Wyper to go find Luffy and Zoro. Nami you and I are going to the train station." I instructed.
"Hey you lot." Paulie said getting off the ground and addressing the other shipwrights "You lend these folks a hand."
"But Paulie these are the people that tried to kill Iceberg. And what about Lucci and Kaku we can't find them."
"Shut up." Paulie told them "No they didn't. It's thanks to them that Iceberg is still alive. Don't worry about Lucci and Kaku. They're out of town for the day. You need to get to the station right, I'll guide."
"Thanks."
Paulie set us up with some Yagara and showed Nami and I the fastest way to the station.
"Can't this thing go any faster? There are only twenty minutes left." I mumbled.
Please just wait, don't go.
I heard the whistle from the train as we got closer.
Come on. I have to make it.
"It's too early for them to be leaving." Nami said.
"With the passengers they have onboard it's safe to assume they got the time moved up." Paulie told her.
"I see the station." I told her.
Nami skidded to a stop right in front of the building and I jumped out and sprinted for the platform, as I got there I saw it pulling away.
Please wait.
"Get off that train! Robin!"
I'm too late…
I sat there, defeated on the ground. I had lost. Nami was on the ground next to me crying like a baby.
"Paulie give me a boat." I didn't even look up.
"Never gonna happen. You can't go out in that storm you'd get yourself killed."
"Robin will die if I don't do something!"
"Move!" Paulie grabbed Nami and myself and pulled us away from the edge of the platform.
We ran up the stairs to avoid the wave that crashed into the platform and destroyed most of the objects on it.
"See. That wave broke the schedule board, that's never happened before. This is only the beginning of the storm too." Paulie explained how dangerous it was "The sea train can cut through it but not a ship, you won't even make it off shore."
"Excuse me is one of you named Nami?" A man asked walking up holding a note "We found this addressed to you."
"That would be me but how did you find something so small?"
"It was over here." The man said pointing to a large painted arrow and graffiti of Nami's name.
"What's it say?" I asked.
"Well the first half is a love letter from Sanji so we can skip that. The part we want is here, where all the marks from Rose taking the paper from him are. It says the two of them got on the Sea Train to go after Robin! It also says two other people got taken on, Usopp and some guy with funky blue hair."
"That must have been Franky."
"Here there was a transponder snail with the letter." The man said.
"I see it says they'll try and call us later." Nami said.
"Alright if those two are on the train we better find a way to catch up with them quickly. Let's go find Zoro and Luffy." I told the girl.
Rose's POV
"It's cold." I groaned
"I can't get it to stay lit." Sanji complained playing with his lighter.
The door opened and a man riding inside was shocked to see us. Sanji kicked him back into the train. We headed in and were met with an even greater surprise.
"There are so many people in the last car!"
"What do you think you doing!" a bunch of men were now pointing pistols at us "That was no normal kick."
I looked around the train car to see what we were dealing with. I looked up and nearly screamed, there was a face on the roof of the car.
"Sanji!" I squeaked in terror.
"Hmm?"
"It's Jerry!" the men in the car cheered
This guy's some kind of freak!
"I'm from a south blue island that specializes in Karate." The man said "I'm the boxing champion."
How did that relate to the first part of the sentence?
"Okay do some karate." Sanji told the man.
The man let off a flurry of punches and we jumped out of the way.
How was that boxing or karate?
"Excuse me miss." The tall man said.
"Umm yes?"
"I'm only say this because I'm a gentleman, but from up here I can see down you shirt…not that there's much to see." He commented.
"PREVERT!" I yelled punching the man in his creepy face.
It's not my fault my boobs are tiny.
I looked over and saw Sanji jumping up and down try to look from above.
"Knock it off!" I snapped.
"Right sorry." He said still peeking out the corner of his eye.
"My boxing will give me the advantage in this small space." Jerry said "Yoga Style!"
All he did was put his feet behind his head.
"That made your reach shorter!" Sanji pointed out rather loudly.
"This can't possibly be called boxing can it? I'm not even sure what kind of fighting that would be called." I remarked.
"Drill kick!"Â Jerry shot forward towards Sanji and me.
"That's not boxing at all!" I yelled.
"What a waste of time." Sanji said jumping into the air "Brochette!"
Sanji's foot slammed into Jerry face and knocked him out cold.
I put a knife between each finger "Next?"
Steve's POV
Nami and I had regrouped with Chopper and Wyper and told them what happened with Sanji and Rose.
"So the cook and Usopp are on the train too." Wyper said.
"That's great!" Chopper cheered.
"Yeah! But we can't leave till we find Zoro and Luffy." Nami told them
"This is the direction they flew so search here." Chopper told the men from Galley-La.
We split up to find our friends so that we could go after Robin.
"Luffy! Zoro!"
Where are you idiot?
Somehow, we all ended up at a wall to the lower district. Even that old lady and the girl form the train house were there.
"Look Miss Pirate Lady!" the girl yelled "Over there between those buildings."
"Hmm."
Is that Luffy?
"Luffy." I said frustrated.
I trudged off to go and fish him out of his situation.
"Where are you going? You can't get to the backstreets now! Aqua Laguna is coming."
That damn idiot.
I jumped off the staircase and made my way towards Luffy. I got as close as I could to Luffy without actually being on the same building as him.
My whips can't reach he'll have to free himself.
"Luffy you idiot! What are you doing?!"
"Oh Steve!" He said form across the way "You see I got flung here by the guy with the pigeon. This is kinda inconvenient."
Kinda?!
"Can you be serious for once you idiot!" I yelled at him "This isn't the time for jokes. You're here screwing around and Robin got taken away! She gave herself up for us. She went with them to protect us from the government. She's going to die!"
"So Robin was lying?"
"Yes!"
"That's good. Don't worry." He yelled "I won't let Robin die; I know she's important to you."
Damn jerk, you're gonna make me cry saying things like that.
With strength that came from nowhere Luffy broke the buildings apart and freed himself.
He wrapped an arm around me "Let's go!"
Wyper's POV
"He's stuck Chopper he won't budge." I said trying to pull Zoro out of a chimney "Your fat ass got in how come it won't come out!"
"I don't know."
"I'll just blow you out." I mumbled.
"That could kill him!" Chopper yelled.
"So?"
"You're a monster!"
"Chopper are you holding one of my swords?" Zoro asked.
"Uhh yeah how did you know?"
"I just do, put it between my feet and step back." Zoro told him.
Chopper did as he was told and Zoro slashed the bricks to pieces using his feet as hands.
"36 Caliber Phoenix!"
"The Wave is coming!" I yelled.
"Let's go!" Chopper said grabbing my hand and Zoro's "Jumping Point!"
We landed on the staircase at the same time as Luffy and Steve.
"We made it." I said catching my breath from the near death experience.
The wave crashed into the staircase and started pulling us out. It was hard to breathe being churned around like that. Something wrapped around my waist and started pulling me towards the dry part of the stairs.
"Hurry and move!" Paulie yelled "The Bridge is falling apart.
We booked it and made it to dry land as the water licked at our heels. Once again, we sat there catching our breath.
"Never again."
"Zoro were you down there too?" Luffy asked.
"Yeah he was stuck in a chimney." I explained.
"You're one to talk dumbass!" Steve yelled.
"Where are Sanji, Rose and Us…Sanji and Rose?" Luffy asked.
"Ah right, Zoro you listen up to." Steve told them
