Sanji vs. Duval
"So… I guess that wanted poster caused more trouble then we thought,” Yukiko said to Zoro and Luffy.
"Gave me a surprise too." Luffy said.
Back on the ship..
"His face… I guess these things really do happen.” Nami said
“Amazing! I never dreamed someone out there actually matched the scribble on Sanji’s wanted poster!” Chopper says in shock.
But it only fueled Sanji’s anger. He ignores Duval’s next speech and jumps into the water.
"Give me back my life! BLACK LEG SANJI!" Duval screamed again after a long spiel of his hatred.
With a mighty swing, Sanji delivered a powerful kick to the poster-like face. "LIKE I CARE!"
"EEEEEEHHHHH!"
"Head!"
"Whaddaya mean, 'like I care'?" Duval bellowed from atop the cow after he recovered from the kick. "If ya ain't gonna take responsibility for dis, then who will?"
"Shut up!" Sanji yelled back. "I'm more pissed-off about that wanted poster than anyone!"
It then turned into a glaring contest between both blond men.
Franky was still crying, "I understand how that guy feels..."
"But... Sanji was really depressed because of that wanted poster too..." Chopper murmured, recalled the cook's exact reaction back in Water Seven. "So, things like this can really happen, huh?"
"What a surprise..." Nami commented. "This world is really big."
"Was Sanji born under some kind of miracle star or something?" Usopp muttered to Nami.
"He might meet quite an interesting end someday..." Robin commented off-handedly.
"I can't help but feel sorry for that Duval guy..." Franky was still crying.
"Those two look exactly like each other!" Hachi commented.
"Like two peas in a pod," Zoro added.
"I guess there are doppelgangers in this world." Yukiko said.
Brook was reduced to laughing so much, bones clacked against stone as the skeleton beat his fists against the floor.
"Brook!" Sanji yelled at the musician. "I'm so gonna kick the crap out of you afterwards!"
"Well then, Sanji..." Luffy commented. "We'll just be going on ahead." He said as he grabbed Yukiko's hand.
"Are you saying this is my fault!?" Sanji yelled then turned to Duval. "If you don't want to look like that wanted poster, then how about trying to change your hairstyle or your beard? There are plenty of things you could change, right?"
Duval looked pissed-off for a few moments, before...
Thok. "So, I could've done that?"
"Are you all morons?"
"I guess his rage blinded him..." Yukiko said.
"I ain't no moron!" Duval retorted. "You know, Black Leg, we..."
There followed a very long, potentially very dramatic and definitely emotive spiel about the life before the horribly drawn wanted poster of Black Leg Sanji and then Duval began shooting poison harpoons at the blond cook of the ship.
"Sanji Kun!" Nami yelled as Sanji was dragged underwater by a net and two of the Riders.
"They're trying to pull him down into the ocean!" Usopp yelled. "Sanji! Hurry up and get out of there!"
There was another long spiel about speed, in which an interesting fact about the Flying Fish was revealed.
"Oh, no! Ill save him!" the mermaid yelled as she dove into the water.
"Caimie! Will she be alright?" Yukiko asked in concern.
"No need to worry! In the whole wide world, in the sea that is, there is nothing that can outrun a mermaid in water!" Pappagg had just finished an extremely long speech about the relative speeds of Fishmen, flying fish and mermen.
Suddenly more Flying Fish flew out of the waters, carrying... ropes?
"What's that?" Nami cried.
"A huge anchor?" Franky spotted.
"It's way too big!" Usopp yelled.
"They're trying to sink the Sunny!" Yukiko realised.
"This is bad!" Franky called. "Just one hit from that, and we'll sink!"
"Dodge it!" Usopp panicked as, by his feet, Chopper ran around in panic. "Use the Burst or the Paddle! Can we make it?"
"No, it's too late! But I have something else." Franky yelled. "Hurry up and come with me, Usopp!"
"Huh? Yeah!"
"You, get on the bow!"
"Huh? Uh, right!"
"What is Franky up to?" Yukiko thought.
"We're going to use our secret weapon!" Franky yelled. "Usopp, hold down the fort below!"
"Got it!" Pushing open the hatch to the engine room below the lawn, he went down.
"The Sunny's in trouble!" Luffy's voice could be heard all the way from the engine room.
"Drop it!" the Riders cheered.
"No way...!" Nami was stunned, unable to move.
"At this rate, it'll hit us head-on," Robin coolly observed.
"SINK!"
"It's falling right at us!" Usopp screamed.
"Believe in this ship!" Franky declared, right before he pushed a button...
Below deck, the wheel began to turn.
"The mane started spinning!" Usopp yelled in surprise.
"Emergency Evasion... Secret Weapon!" Franky pushed a large lever. "Chicken Voyage!"
The mane acted as a propeller, pushing the Sunny backwards and away from the dropping giant anchor in time as the steel behemoth plunged into the seas below.
"They dodged it!" "No way!"
"I've never heard of any ship that can go backwards!"
"Wow! Franky thought of everything!" Yukiko said as Luffy was also impressed.
"Usopp! Get inside the prow!" Franky yelled as the Sunny drifted to a pause.
"Don't think dodging it was all we could do!" He then hollered as the figurehead's mouth dropped open to reveal a cannon. "This ship's got way more power than that!"
"Awesome!" Luffy and Chopper literally sparkled with their awe.
"Cola energy now charging!"
"Charging complete!" Usopp announced. "Oi! What should I do now?"
"Get as many as you can inside the circle!"
"They're in!" Usopp's voice drifted towards them.
"Lock on with the button on the handle, then pull the lever!" Franky ordered.
"Three...Two... One..."
"Gaon Hou!" Franky yelled.
"FIRE!" Franky and Usopp announced.
The resulting beam of light shot, blasting away the flying fish and their riders, and debris in its destructive wake.
"Amazing!" Nami gasped despite the devastating blast it gave out that destroyed half the base.
On land, Zoro shielded his eyes from a captain shining with awe. "You're too impressed!"
"Wow! That was almost as powerful as Lugia's Aeroblast!" Yukiko yelled.
Franky laughed. "Did you see that? The Sunny's full power?"
"That move took out almost all the Flying Fish..." Chopper gasped in awe.
"That's just how good Usopp is! Even if it was his first try, it was magnificent!"
Usopp himself was whooping with admiration. "WHOO! What an amazing destructive power!"
"Sunny!" Luffy punched the air with both hands in awe.
"Lion Chan is incredible!" Brook did the same. "It seemed as if my eyes were going to pop out! Though I have no eyes to pop out..."
"It uses three barrels of cola to prevent the ship from being blown away, and at the same time, it releases two barrels worth of Coup de Burst from the cannon. It uses a ton of cola, so don't you overuse it!"
"Caimie!" Nami exclaimed as the mermaid broke the water surface.
"Thank goodness!" Chopper squealed. "Is Sanji alright?"
"Everyone, it's terrible!" Keimi shouted back. "Sanji-chin is losing a lot of blood!"
"Huh?" Nami gasped.
"Did he get done in?" Chopper shouted.
"Just when I thought I'd saved him, a lot of blood suddenly started flowing out of his nose!"
"Huh? Nosebleed?"
"Should've known...." Yukiko sighed. 'I'm happy my man isn't like that.....'
"It's fine..." Usopp muttered mutinously. "If he dies like that, then let him die."
"-.- That's true..." Nami sighed. "At least he seems happy."
"Hang in there, Sanji-chin!"
Then Duval starts to make a commotion. Something about his large cow, Motobalo, that has apparently killed dozens.
But Duval made the mistake of aiming for Yukiko.
Luffy just frowns as he stopped the bull in its tracks in one strong grip on its snout.
"BACK OFF MY WOMAN!" He yelled and something odd happens.
It takes a moment to register since the cow is freaking out. It seems scared of Luffy once it made eye contact. It turns around and runs away only for it to pass out.
"Huh?" "Pa?" "Vee?"
"Luffy, what happened?" Yukiko asked.
"I don't know!" Luffy said.
"Did the cow get psyched out or something?" Nami asked.
"No clue, but I guess Luffy intimidated it." Usopp muttered.
"But how could it get so scared it passed out?" Robin asked.
The Yukiko had a strange feeling as she thought she saw Luffy being ambushed. She looked to see two people attacking out of the blue and she rushed to take out the two fish flyers, and somehow took out their swords as well.
"Whoa! How did you do that?! You didn't even use your power?!" Luffy asked in amazement. "Oh, and thanks!" He said as he hugged his girl.
Yukiko didn't know either, but she saw that neither of her arms were injured.
However, Sanji is up and awake now. He’s out of the ocean and tells Luffy to stop before he states, “I’ll finish things with this finger-pointing idiot. I don’t want to so much as see the scribbles on that wanted poster! You shouldn’t have a face like that.”
"Oh, dear." Yukiko said.
Sanji starts to repeatedly kick Duval’s face.
"Oeil! Nez! Joue! Bouche! Dents! Menton!"
"Please, stop..."
"Parage... Shot!"
Duval was sent flying into one of his collapsed buildings by a barrage of kicks to the face.
"Taste the classiness of my finishing attack, and end your misery," Sanji growled. "You shitty bastard."
------------
After that fight, the Thousand Sunny was docked in the middle of the ocean, a small pink takoyaki stand boat connected to it.
"It's good!" Luffy cried out between mouthfuls of takoyaki.
"Right? Hachi's takoyaki is the best in the world, isn't it?" Caimie smiled.
"I have to agree, it's delicious!" Yukiko said.
"Eh…Nami, how is it?" Hachi asks and they all freeze and swallow slowly.
Yukiko was concerned as Nami hasn't said a word since Hachi on the ship, and he was trying to smooth things over, honestly he was.
"Don't think that just because of this I've forgiven you," Nami said quietly and Hachi threw all six of his arms up and began to shake them and his head.
"No, no of course not. I just…wanted to know if they tasted good," Hachi said and looked to the floor. His hands were sweating and his heart was beating like crazy. He was nervous.
"It's really good," Nami said and finally looked at Hachi. This made the fishman perk up and smile.
He became very excited and made takoyaki faster than before, making Camie and Pappug yell at him because they couldn't keep up. They only had two hands each while he had six.
After Hachi was done cooking takoyaki and Camie had finished cleaning the grill (and after Duval, with his new face appeared to thank Sanji,) they all came on board of the Sunny and began to share information with the pirates. Camie explained that they were headed to a place called Sabaody Archipelago.
"You can't go to Fishman Island before stopping by there first. Fishmen and mermen can just dive straight to get there. But that's impossible for humans," Camie explained.
"Right. The pressure would kill you. After all, it's located ten thousand feet down below the surface. It's actually right under Mariejoa." Hachi clarified.
"There are actually two routes to the New World. One is safer, but it can't be used by pirates, because only the world government and marines use that route. It entails going over the Red Line, through the World Capital, and then into the New World, but it would mean leaving this ship behind and getting a new one in the New World," Pappug explained which obviously Franky was against.
"But there is one way you'll be taking will allow you to get through with your ship and everything," Camie began, and they all turned their heads to her. Pappug becoming disheartened at losing the attention. "It's the Ocean-floor Route, which goes by Fishman Island. But it can be dangerous, as Sea Kings could swallow your ship."
"How do we get Sunny to travel underwater?" Nami asked, not knowing how that would be done.
"You have to get your ship coated, which is done in Sabaody. We'll explain coating better when we arrive, so you'll be able to understand it better when you see the place we're going to," Camie said and smiled.
They would wait to understand then.

Yeah! We're at Sabaody soon!
