Davy and Lu-Lu were heavily panting, the latter was laughing uncontrollably.

This fight of theirs had been going on for 10 hours now. Davy was getting priceless Haki training. But even he knew he would need to end this battle soon.

Lu-Lu: Shihihihih! Shihihihih!

Though she looked just as exhausted, her laughter was getting more and more wilder and psychotic. The flames of her high gear fade away as her laughter grows.

Davy: Huh?

Red and black bolts of lightning cracked across the land, Lu-Lu being the source. Davy had pushed her into going all out, for better or for worse.

Lu-Lu: Shihihihih! "TOP-GEAR"!!

Feeling an ungodly amount of heat from her, Davy braced himself as the dirt itself began to melt.

Davy: Great grand line! Ugh!

Lu-Lu: SHIHIHIHIH!!

Her skin turned pink from the heat, her eyes becoming black as charcoal. Internally, her blood was pumping at such a rate it forced her muscles to expand along with growing a tail to help compensate.

In the end, Lu-Lu looked like a whole different kind of monster.

(Lu-Lu; Top Gear)

Davy:(sigh)

Davy: Alright... Let's see what you've got-

Her arm stretched over to Davy at high speed, striking Davy multiple times across his body.

Pulling her arm back, it entangled Davy melting onto his body, severely burning him.

Davy; AGHHHH!!

Attempting to spin his limbs to grind out of her grip, Davy found himself jamming because of the gum.

Lu-Lu; "Gum-Gum; Top Dog"!!

(Opening Theme)

Hearing a loud uproar, the two exit the base to find a large tornado on the far end of the island.

Victor: Looks like we know where our Captain is.

Shin: I hope you aren't expecting us to get close, because...

Shin: We're not doing that.

Victor: We'd get in his way... Well, you all.

He aims his pistol.

Victor: I can snipe from here.

Motz: Unless you have Sea stone bullets, there's no point.

Victor doesn't lower his weapon, with a sharp gaze, he continued to aim.

Motz:!?

Motz: You have sea stone bullets!?

Motz: Why don't you just name off all our abilities and tricks while you're at it?

(Meanwhile)

In his Level 3 state, Davy was on the defensive. Lu-Lu's speed and attack were nearly beyond Davy J who used his tornadoes to keep her away. But with the ability to kick off the air, she could bounce around the sky, outmanoeuvred everything he could throw.

Davy:(mind) Crap, crap!

(BAM)

Davy:!?

Davy: "Ro-Ro; Queen Giraffe"!!!

Lu-Lu: Shihihihih! "Gum-Gum: Top Giraffe"!!!

Stretching out her leg at the Giraffe shaped tornado, it pierces through it to strike Davy in the gut.

Davy:(mind) Lunch! Stay in!

Davy; BLEH!

Davy;(mind) Traitor!

Crossing his arm, and grinding their rotations together, he began generating friction. Lu-Lu  inflated herself and coated her tail in haki.

Lu-Lu:(muffled) "Gum-Gum; Top Dragon Rifle!!!"

Davy: "Ro-Ro; Queen Phoenix"!!!

Exhaling, Lu-Lu spewed fire as she spun like a drill with her tail as the tip, towards the burning phoenix that was Davy who slashed with his wings. The clone of the Pirate King went straight through, though her body did become extremely soft from the fire.

Davy:!?!

Smashing straight into Davy's stomach, Lu-Lu knocked all the wind out of him, dropping him out of Level 3.

(Wo-wo-woooosh)

His body violently flung itself into a random direction, Lu-Lu getting dragged along as her now soft body stuck to him.

The two would have plummeted to their deaths immediately if it wasn't for Lu-Lu's soft bubble gum body catching air and becoming a makeshift parachute that would help Davy land safely.

On the ground, the two laid beside one another.

Davy:(mind) Is that... A bullet wound...?

He noticed a fresh bullet hole in Lu-Lu's shoulder. The bullet shot by Victor, went straight through.

Lu-Lu: Shi... Shi... Shi...

The two began a staring contest. Though their bodies were no longer able to fight, they still had the will to go on.

(CRACK)

(KRACKAKKOOM)

Black and red lighting wildly flung from them, shattering and exploding everything nearby.

This was a clash of their Conquer's Haki.

Lu-Lu/Davy:(glare)

The two look away, they in a sense, tied.

Davy: Crap...

Lu-Lu: Shihihihih! I like that last move you did! It was fun being flung! Shihihihih!

Davy: That was a side effect not a move.

Lu-Lu: You should make it one! Shihihihih!

Davy:.... Maybe I will.

Lu-Lu: Shihihihih!

Davy: What's so funny?

Lu-Lu: Nothing! I just can't stop laughing, Shihihihih!

Davy: Huh?

Lu-Lu: It's a defect! Shihihihih! I just laugh randomly, Shihihihih!

Lu-Lu: Shihihihih! I'm in so much pain! Hahaha! Shihihihih...! The laughter is only making it worse, but oh well... Shihihihih!

Davy: What? Are you actually depressed then?

Lu-Lu: Shihihihih! Maybe I am!

Davy:...

Davy:(sigh).... I can't read you.

Getting up, Davy helps Lu-Lu to her feet, together they support each other on their way to find their crews. Lu-Lu completely over Davy's crew's bounties, she focused on where her crew was. They eventually arrived at her base where they met up with their respective crews.

Victor/Zola: Captain!

Davy: Sup! Can anyone tell me the situation? Are we buddies or enemies?

Davy: Because we're cool now.

Lu-Lu: Shihihihih!

Davy: Was that a tic or "no we aren't" laugh?

Lu-Lu:(smiles)

Davy: That doesn't help.

Victor: We're fine.

Turning to the clone straw hats, with a hand on his Zody, Victor glared.

Victor:(glare) Right?

Sparrow:(nods)

Ruby: Good. It's time we get back on track.

Lu-Lu: Shihihihih! But you just got here!

Motz: Thanks to you!

With everything settled, the two crews part ways. But Motz was stopped by his old crew.

Naomi: You're leaving?

Motz:....

Motz: You've all changed.... But...

Motz: I won't be with you all because I was created to be.

Motz: Besides, despite one gunslinger, they're pretty cool. They're on the path to beating Kai.

Motz: And....

He turns to them with a bloody nose.

Motz:(bloody nose) The mermaid and Mink on their crew is...(Chief's kiss)

Naomi:(deadpan) Don't let the door hit you on your way out.

(Elsewhere.....)

John Paul Jones, on his little rowboat, was sailing across the sea, heading back towards his baby mama, Ariel.

Laid back, he attempted to nap.

John:(humming) Set feet, row♪

Rat:(squeek, squeek)

John:?

Hearing the desperate cries of a rat, John leaned over his boat to find a tiny rat with a tiny backpack, rowing a tiny boat.

John:(tilts) Oh rat of the sea, who had traveled far and wide, what is your wisdom?

Rat:(squeek)!

Opening her back pack, they pulled out a small dial. John grabs it, and clicks it. The dial began playing a recording from Ched a Helllord from his old crew. John was then updated on what the Helllords were planning.

John: Hmmmm...

Deep in thought, John Paul Jones ignores the rat desperately trying to climb on board his boat.

John:(sigh)

John: What to do?

He leans back.

John: I don't like being told what to do... And my dad is likely to be there.... And the "special" surprise isn't enough honestly....

John: But Davy is also going, eh? Didn't really get to chat with him. Even if I go, its not guaranteed that I'll be able to interact with him.

John: Though going means delaying my vacation with Ariel...

The rat makes it on board. She lies down and pants heavily.

John: But going and helping Davy would make Ariel happy.... And maybe even.... Heh heh~

John:(slaps cheeks) Ahhhhhhh, fine, fine!

Getting up, John Paul Jones stomps his foot causing his rowboat to suddenly bounce into the sky at high speed.

The little rat stowaway holds on for dear life.

Rat: (twwwwwweaaaak)
