Recap:

He eyes the figure closely. It was a boy, with light pink hair, and dark pink eyes, along with a black blazer and white with black stripped shirt. He lets out a few squawks and the male frowns, as if they were communicating.

He groans, face palming lightly. "Is this really the time for introductions?" he asks irritated. "Look it's nice to meet you two Karoo. I saved you because my friend is travelling with you." he pauses yet again.

"My name? It's Mist."

"This is bad....." mutters Zoro who is dragging a dinosaur by the horn. "I must be lost." He and Sanji were still continuing their hunt for the largest prey they could bring back to the ship, and now he was lost in the middle of the forest. To no one's surprise of course.

He then notices Nami leaning against a tree. "Oh, Nami! Great, I was just wondering on how to get back to the ship. However, there's something very off. And before Zoro could process what happened, he lets out a scream.

"AAH A DINOSAUR!! RUN!!" screeched Usopp and Nami as they continued to run through the forest. Nami was panting, tired from running and only becomes worse seeing Usopp speed way ahead of her.

"Hey!" she pants in between words. "You're...running too damn fast!" She hunches over, hands on her knees and tries to catch her breath when she sees Luffy waving to her. "Oh, Luffy! Thank goodness!" when he says nothing however, she becomes worried. "Luffy...?"

Nami lets out a scream as something behind her attacks her. Usopp hears this in the distance and stops running in position. He turns around and gasps in fear seeing Nami wasn't behind him anymore.

"N-Nami?" he squeaks. He looks around and once he's met with the silence of the forest, his whole body starts to shake. "T-This is not good...... LUUUUUFFFYYY!!! YYYY/NNNN!!!" he screams, running out like crazy in the forest, desperately searching for the two of you.

"LUFFY! Y/N!! LUFFY! Y/N!! LUFFY! Y/N!!" he screams over and over again, and one last time as he makes it out of the forest, and runs directly into a rock, before bouncing off it and sliding down and hitting the ground in front of you, Vivi, and Luffy.

He gasps, sitting up immediately seeing the two of you. "LUFFY! Y/N! BAD NEWS!! A DINOSAUR ATE NAMI!!" he cries. Luffy shoots straight up, his eyes wide in panic. "SERIOUSLY?!"

"We were running through the forest to get rid of it, then suddenly she was gone!!" he whimpers. "What have I done?! I got my friend killed!!" Luffy started slamming his fist down and the two are sobbing.

"SHUT UP!!!" you yell smacking both of their heads, and silencing them. Vivi shudders, backing away slightly. You take a deep breath. "Listen! If Nami just disappeared, it means you don't know for sure! And I know for a fact you were too afraid to look!!"

"C-correct!" Usopp stutters, proud to admit it at first before realizing the insult behind it. "S-still! If it wasn't a dinosaur then it was some other wild beast!!" Vivi shakes her head. "If there are Baroque Works agents on the island, then it makes sense why they went after Nami and not you."

You nod. "Yeah. Usopp wasn't on their hit list so he's safe. Plus, that alcohol could've been for us." Usopp looks at you in surprise at this. "Alcohol? What about the alcohol?!"

You grimace, "When Broggy-san gave it to Dorry-san, it exploded in his stomach when he drank." Usopp gasps. "WHAT?! It exploded in his stomach?! You're saying he went to the battlefield all beat up?!"

"I tried to stop him, but ended up like this!" Luffy gestures to the large rock. "B-but those guys have been fighting for 100 years! It's their most prideful battle of all!" Usopp says now becoming angry at this. "They can't settle their fight now!!"

Meanwhile, the two were still fighting, making Mr. 3 sigh. He leaned against a tree where there was a small girl with two brown ponytails sat on a picnic blanket. "He's still fighting." she says, eating a small biscuit.

"Maybe I should assist one of them~" he laughs, the small tip of his hair catching on fire. It was shaped like a three and when he thrust his hand out, white wax appeared on the ground under the foot of Dorry as he gasps and falls to the ground.

'A century of fighting...'

"Gabababa! I have you now, Dorry!" Broggy cackles, raising his ax above the giant. Everyone gasps seeing a long line of blood shoot up in the sky, and hear Dorry's cry. Everyone was silent, knowing it meant that the battle was over, and Dorry was dead.

Luffy grit his teeth, hearing Dorry's words echoing in his mind. And before any of you could do anything else, Luffy's hat goes flying off and he slams his head into the ground over and over. "Luffy!" Usopp says in shock, then hears the sound of you punching your fist into the large rock that Luffy was stuck under.

"Damn it..." you grit your teeth. "WHO DID THIS?!" the two of you scream in fury. "SHOW YOURSELF!!"

Broggy stood over Dorry, panting as he looked to the fallen giant. "73.....thousand....467 fights....73 thousand....466 draws...." he looks up, in his eyes. "And one win!" Broggy drops his shield and sword, taking in the moment, until,

"Joyful tears of victory huh? Man, simple minded people have it so easy..."

Broggy turns to the man, with an angered expression. "Though, I'll let you enjoy the win for now..." Broggy growls. "Tears of joy?! What the hell would you know?! Just who are you?!"

The male sips lightly from his tea cup before speaking again. "Mr. 3. Apologies for the code name, but I'm a formative artist. And this is my partner, Miss Golden Week."

He smirks, "And I've just captured you." Broggy's eyes widen as he looks down and sees both his legs have been covered in wax. "W-what?!" he tries to pull his legs out, but to no avail as it was very strong and thick.

"Alright Luffy!" Usopp yells. "I don't know who we're dealing with but I'll handle them!", though his legs were still shaking. Vivi speaks up. "I'll come too."

"Yes! P-please come with me!"

"There's no need for that."

You whip your head around, instantly recognizing the voice as Mr. 5. He is with Miss Valentine, and Vivi gasps seeing that Karoo is in their grasp beaten up. There is also a male with pink hair that was beaten up. He throws the two in front of you.

"Karoo!" Vivi gasps running to his side. "You can have them. We don't need them anymore." you run over as well, feeling as if the male looked familiar. The pink hair......... You let out a gasp in horror. "M....Mist?"

The boy smirks and looks up to you weakly, bruises all over his body. "H-Hey you idiot...." he manages a small chuckle. "W-what..?! H-how are you a human?!" you whisper in shock.

Mr. 5 smirks. "Both of them had absolutely nothing to do with." he began. "The only ones we consider dangerous is the straw hat man and Water Bearer." Miss Valentine chuckles. "We planned to have that bird squawk for it's owner, but this one decided to intervene."

You grit your teeth, becoming even more angered at Miss Valentine. Vivi looked at the two in anger, cradling Karoo and he finally utters a squawk. Miss Valentine laughs. "What a stupid bird!"

"You're the ones who bombed the alcohol!" Usopp points to them accusingly, and only fuels your anger hearing their response. "Yes. Now, who are you?" Mr. 5 asks, his arms crossed.

"He's not on the list, let's make him disappear as well!" Luffy struggles to get up. "You bastards! You're the one who messed with their duel!" Vivi stands first, pulling out her peacock slicers. "You're the ones who are going to die first!!"

Mr. 5 chuckles. "You're going to struggle against us?" Usopp charges at them with her. You draw your twin swords. "Peacock slasher!" Usopp pulls back his slingshot. "Take this! Special Attack: Exploding Star!!"

The bomb hits Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine floats away from the explosion with ease. "What a nice blast!" You gasp in realization about Mr. 5's power. "USOPP! LOOK OUT!"

But it's too late as he momentarily distracted, Mr. 5 sending out a bomb again. "Nose Fancy Canon!" Usopp gasps in pain, backing up from the impact of the bomb, and Miss Valentine falls from the sky. "10,000 Kilogram press!"

"NO!!" you and Luffy scream, watching as Miss Valentine falls on Usopp. Vivi lets out a battle cry as she goes to slice Mr. 5 but he is quick to trip her with his foot, a bomb going off and he grabs her neck. "Take it easy. We can't kill you just yet-"

He gasps as he narrowly dodges your sword, as you were screaming in anger, trying to slice the male. You cut the male's cheek and back away as soon as you see an explosion go off. He narrows his eyes.

"Y/N! WATCH OUT!!" Luffy screams.

You had forgotten about Miss Valentine as you look up, going to dodge but it's too late as she falls on you. "15,000 Kilogram Press!" You gasp in pain, trying to keep from screaming as you hit the ground and feel your ribs crack under you from the impact.

"Y/N!!" Both Mist and Luffy yell, unable to move. Miss Valentine smirks, "Mr. 3 wanted to take you both." Vivi grits her teeth, still trying to pry off Mr. 5's hand. "Mr. 3? The Wax-Wax man?! He's on the island?!"

"W...Who gives a shit about that?!"

Everyone turns to you, as you were shakily standing, ignoring the screaming pain from your ribs. "All I know...Is that you both are going to pay! For hurting my friends!" you yell, making Miss Valentine smirk. "Mr. 5, we could always say it was an accident, and Water Bearer didn't make it~"

Mist hears this and gasps as he rises to his feet, and scoops you up bridal style, and in a flash the two of you disappear. Of course, no one else but you knew it was Mist, so Luffy was freaking out. "Y/N! GIVE HER BACK YOU BASTARD!!" He yells, straining trying to get off the rock.

Mr. 5 narrows his eyes at the direction the two of you had disappeared. "We'll worry about her later. That boy is troubling though..."

Mist pants and collapses on his knees once far enough from the two agents as he drops you on accident. "Ack!" he winces, holding his arm in pain from the brutal beating him and Karoo received earlier. "Y/n, are you-"

He's cut off when you look up and slap the male. "You baka!" you yell, standing and grabbing the collar of his blazer. "What the hell were you thinking?! What if they kill Luffy and the others, huh?! You dumbass!"

Mist winces, "Take it easy!" he yells prying your hands off of him. "Look at yourself! You are in no condition to fight like this! You want to really lose control, knowing you could kill everyone there?!"

At this, your eyes widen, and your anger seemed to dissipate, as you relax a bit, taking slow deep breaths. "Y..You're right...I'm...sorry." you both sigh, collapsing on the forest floor. "What do we do..?" Mist mutters.

"What the hell are you doing?!"

The both of you immediately sit up, hearing the voice. "Broggy-san..." you mutter, before hearing another voice. "What am I doing? Ah, alas, this is why I hate dolts...I'm creating a work of art, obviously." he sneers.

You and Mist nod to each other, hiding behind a small gathering of bushes. There, you saw the man who attacked you when you first washed up on shore of Little Garden. Broggy was on the ground and covered in the hard candle wax, that he could seem to break free of.

"DIE!"

Back where you and Mist had ran from, came more explosions and the cries of Vivi. "Luffy-san! Luffy-san!" Hearing those words made you gasp. Mist notices this and sighs. "Go."

You turn to him confused at first, before he points at his temple a few times and you understand. "Yeah..." you smirk. "Don't you dare die on me." and with that you run back, hoping to save Luffy and Usopp before it was too late.

"Give it up!!" Mr. 3 cackles. "Once my Candle Jacket solidifies, it's as hard as iron!" he smirks, seeing Broggy's angered expression. The tip of his three on his hair lights up again, creating a miniature giant head. "You giants may be strong, but once you're caught it's all but useless. You lowered your guard, Red Ogre Broggy."

Broggy glares at the male, hearing his bounty name. "You should be happy! Your long battle is finally over! After all, you fought for a century for your so-called pride! You should be happy, even at the help of others."

Broggy's angered expression from earlier morphs into one of horror and shock. "You don't mean...!"

"As you are aware, your bounties from long ago, come to 200 million beri total, correct? I feel as if I've discovered a long lost treasure!!" he laughs. "Mr. 3, we've brought the Princess." Miss Valentine threw Vivi at Mr. 3's feet, making the male turn in surprise. "Oh? Then where's Water Bearer?"

Vivi glares at the male. "You're extremely low! Planting those bombs in Dorry-san's alcohol!" Mr. 3 narrows his eyes at the female, and Broggy gasps, remembering when he gave him the alcohol. "Wretched girl....Giving away our secrets..."

His hand slowly changes into wax, before he throws it at her feet, keeping her from running away. "Candle Lock!" Vivi lets out a cry, seeing it harden into a candle shape around her ankles. "Mr. 5! Bring the swordsman and the woman!"

Mist's eyes widen. 'Zoro and Nami?!' He seethes at the male but tries to connect to you.

'Y/n! Are you there?!'

'Yeah, what's wrong?!'

'Mr. 3's got Nami and Zoro!'

'What?!'

'Yeah, I know... What should I do?!'

'Nothing! I'll be there soon with Luffy and Usopp! For now, pay attention so you can fill me in later!'

'Got it!'

Mist turns his attention back to Mr. 3 only to let out a gasp seeing the large candle set that was now in front of the group. It had three layers, and on the very top was a large candle stick with a bowl-like shape with a smiley face. There were also six or more large candles at the brim, with a flame lit on the top.

"Here." Nami and Zoro grunt as they were thrown to the ground, both with Candle Lock on their wrists and ankles. Mist grimaces, seeing it would worry you knowing that Zoro and Nami were both here, and it wasn't a taunt. Nami gasps looking up at the structure. "What is that?!"

Vivi looks back at the two. "Mr. Bushido.....Nami-san...."

Nami notices the female as well. "Vivi! What happened?! I thought you were with Luffy and Y-" she stopped herself short, not wanting to give you away.

"If you want to know about Straw Hat, I took care of him myself." Mr. 5 rests his foot on Zoro's head smirking at the remembrance of beating Luffy. "But, Water Bearer got away." Hearing this Zoro let out a small sigh of relief. He knew Luffy hadn't been beaten however.

You continue to run through the forest, faster now at the thought of Zoro being caught. 'Zoro...I swear I'll send you back to Hell if you die on me!'

Once you arrive, you felt your knees become weak, as you look at the sight in front of you. Usopp was buried deep in the ground, with his head barely above the dirt, with blood dripping down his forehead and black and bruised from the bombs and the impact of Miss Valentine. Karoo was passed out, not that far from Usopp, from his earlier injuries.

Luffy, was still trapped under the large rock, but now, the rock behind him and his whole body were black, clearly from the impact of bombs. You ran over to the male, picking up the straw hat next to him as he try to shake him awake.

"Luffy...! Luffy! Get up! Come on! We need... We need to save everyone!" Your voice cracked slightly, feeling tears pool in your eyes but you harshly wipe them away. "Come on! Those bastards got our friends! You going to let them get away with that?!"

Luffy slowly stirred, groaning weakly a few times, as he looks up to meet your gaze. He manages a grin. "Y-Yeah...Sorry to keep you waiting, Y/n."

You manage a shaky grin as you back away, looking at the large rock. Now just how were you going to get that off of your captain? "Usopp." Luffy says, "Can you forgive them?"

"N..No..." you jump hearing Usopp's voice. Karoo runs over to the two of you. "You too?" Luffy asks, and Karoo nods furiously. "Good." he smirks. "Let's go then, and kick their asses!"
