Scene Fifteen: Search and Rescue

The Straw Hats fired into the crowd without restraint and without mercy as the pirates were helpless to the crew's barrage. Only the captain's, Shiki included, seem safe from the blast as on the lesser pirates were hit. Each member that had a gun, two for some, fired in a different direction making sure that the Shiki alliance's numbers would go steadily down. After some time, Luffy joined in the firing as well leaving the kids protected in the middle of the strike force. Both Mika and Akio were crouched down, ears covered, and eyes closed as their crew took care of the surrounding pirates with ease.

As he watched on safely, Shiki was decimated at how his supposedly strong alliance was being taken out easily by rookie pirates. His alliance was practically useless to stop eight people. As the chaos finally began to die down, the Straw Hats found that they no longer had any ammunition as the kept trying to fire away with no luck. Franky was the first to notice as he raised his weapons as he spoke out.

"Che. We're out of ammo…" He then proceeded to toss his to big guns behind him. Soon the other members of the Straw Hats realized this too, though finding no problem with it.

"There's a bunch of them left…"

"We were just saying hi… That's about right…" Following Franky, Sanji and Zoro spoke with little interest in the guns as they tossed them back as well.

"Usopp! Chopper! Find Nami and protect the kids." With everyone having said 'hi', Luffy gave an order to his doctor and sniper standing nearby. As he removed the black captain's coat from his shoulders, his two nakama quickly agreed.

"Got it!" The two then ran as they both picked up the kids-Usopp grabbing Akio and Chopper grabbing Mika- still crouched down. Noticing they were being picked up, Mika and Akio uncovered their ears and looked up to see who had grabbed them. Seeing it was their nakama, Mika quickly spoke up in interest.

"Where are we going?"

"We're going to find Nami." Mika looked over to Usopp as he spoke giving the girl a confident smirk and a thumb up. Mika just smiled back as she cheered with excitement. Meanwhile Akio seemed to be a bit worried with who was protecting them.

"I think we we're safer in the battle."

"Hey!"

Back at the battle, one of the pirate captains stood back up and drew his sword as he shouted out towards the Straw Hats. "Shoot these impudent fools! Kill them all!" Standing back up, those pirates that had survived the barrage charged forward ready to fight the Straw Hats.

Meanwhile, Shiki was still standing in his spot as he watched the straw hat captain prepare to fight. Once Luffy had finished removing the access clothing, he was ready to fight. However the same man that had warned Shiki of their presence came back speaking to Shiki concerned. "Lord Shiki, please go inside."

"Yeah." Shiki immediately agreed. Luffy then began walking towards him as Robin used her devil fruit powers to blind then men in Luffy's way. However another group, led by a green Fishman, quickly took action.

"Kill their boss!" As the Fishman and his men charged forward, Luffy still continued to walk uninterested in the small fry. But they were still in his way. Luckily, Brook took up the fight as he stepped in front of the men with his sword and violin in tow.

"Lullaby Parry: Flanc!" Playing the violin with his sword, Brook made a slashing motion once finished. Immediately all the men fell fast asleep dropping before they could even be an obstacle in Luffy's path. Meanwhile, the man led Shiki to a hidden door behind his seat as he left the battle for the other pirates. This action only made Luffy enraged.

"Did you do something…" Luffy soon began to pick up speed and jumped towards Shiki to attack. The man soon noticed Luffy's presence and turned back right as the rubber began to attack screaming out. "To my wife?!"

Shiki had no time to defend as Luffy socked him good across the face sending down the secret hallway. The man that had been leading him was stunned with shock as he stood frozen unable to do anything for his captain.

"Boss!" Unconcerned with the man, Luffy ran past him as he hardly even began to beat up Shiki. Still in the air, Shiki used this motion to propel him further down the hallway as he tried to escape Luffy.

As Luffy reached the doorway, Doctor Indigo soon got in his way and prepared to attack. However Luffy simply went around as Zoro covered him. The doctor was surprised to see the green haired swordsman block his attack. Zoro then gave a message to the doctor in a furious tone. "Don't get in my captain's way!"

Next up, the gorilla also got in Luffy's path ready to grab the man at a moment's notice. However, like Doctor Indigo, he was removed as an obstacle as Sanji kicked the overgrown gorilla out of his captain's path. And like Indigo, the gorilla was shocked by the sudden attack. Sanji then shouted at the gorilla. "Didn't he tell you to clear the way?!" Luffy was then able to enter the hallway as he searched for Shiki to quick his ass.

Meanwhile out of the grove of Daft Green, a bright light appeared in the middle of the trees sounding very electrical. Nami, still trapped by the metal poles, weakly looked up as she heard a familiar call and noticed the sudden light. She knew exactly who it was. 'Biri…'

The bird, with its nose plugs still in, stood in front of Nami triumphantly while behind it the two guards there to watch Nami were down and burnt to an electrical crisp. Nami was surprised by the bird's sudden courageous action and looked over to it as she spoke curiously. "Did you do this?" The bird nodded as he discharged a bit of his electricity. Nami then stretched her hand, knowing full well the bird was electrified, and grabbed its wing as she spoke weakly. "I have a favor to ask… Listen to me…"

Biri was surprised to see the woman so willing grab him seeing how she was being hurt the small burst electricity it was producing. Though the bird was freaking out, Nami continued to speak ignoring the pain she was feeling to covey her request to the bird. "Please stay here and listen to what I have to say…" The bird nodded agreeing with the navigator and then took time to calm down and control his electrical outburst. Taking a deep breath, Biri's electrical glow flew and was ready to do whatever Nami wanted him to do.

Jumping through the smoke, Chopper-now in Walk Point- carried Mika and Akio as Usopp followed next to him his weapon-Kabuto-out and ready to defend. As they dashed through outdoor wooden hall, Chopper and Usopp quickly took out the pirated that had followed them outside making sure that none of them could touch the kids. Usopp soon noticed some more coming from the side and prepared to fire with his Kabuto as he ran with Chopper. "Continuous Flame Star!"

The attack quickly took out all the men trying to shoot then and the search and rescue group continued onward.  Chopper and Usopp soon jumped from the walkway and onto a roof as they climbed higher to search for Nami. Once at the top, everyone began looking around as Usopp spoke to Chopper. "Chopper, can you trace her small?"

"It's no good. I can't smell well when the air is filled with Daft Green."

"Damn it…"

"We have to keep looking, mom's in trouble, I know it!"

"Don't worry, we're not gonna stop until we find her."

"Mister Usopp over there!" While everyone looked around, Akio soon pointed out forward having caught something. Everyone looked towards where the boy was pointing; Usopp even brought his headgear scope down for a closer look. In the grove of Daft Green, a bright flash could be seen. Taking a closer look, Usopp saw Nami trapped and Biri flashing with electricity and its tail fanned out.

"There she is! She's over there!"

At the grove, Biri with his tail feathers fanned out twice the size of the bird was bursting with electricity complying with Nami's request. Just in front of it, all the fuses to the dynamite placed near several Daft Greens ready to be lit. Finally done charging, Biri then confidently lowered his head and lit the fuse. With his task down, Biri then flew back getting away from the eminent explosion. Nami, on the other hand, had already sealed her fate as she did nothing to try to escape as she replayed certain memories.

"Nami…" In Nami's thoughts, she thought back to when she last saw her sister Nojiko. In her memory, Nojiko took off one of her ringlets and held it up to Nami. "Won't you take it with you?" Nojiko then flipped the ringlet to Nami who caught it rather clumsily looked at and smiled towards her sister. Nojiko in turn smiled back and spoke. "Have fun…"

She often missed her sister, but she knew she would, at least until now, would see her one day. Of course, she had gained such more since then. Another memory appeared one that had made so happy. "Nami…will you marry me?" In the memory, Luffy was hugging her tightly as she tried tears of joy from a previous event though now for this moment. When they broke, Nami stared back into Luffy's eyes and vice versa as she gave him a heartfelt answer. "Of course…you fool."

She was glad she could have loved someone as kind and courageous as Luffy. And she was even luckier to have a child with him. "Whoa! Look at her Nami…" In this memory, Nami was laying down in a bed as she held her newborn child with Luffy next to her. Though tired, Nami couldn't help be just as amazed as Luffy seeing the child they had been waiting months to see. "She's ours Luffy….our precious Mika."

Now brought back to her current situation, Nami smiled though tears fell from her eyes knowing she would be leaving the ones she loved behind. She could only hope that they were doing what she believed they would do. She then thought t herself as she resigned herself to her fate. 'Don't worry… It's going to be okay... I won't allow our hometowns to meet its end…'

Just outside the groves, the search group was running towards Nami hoping to rescue her before it was too late. Chopper then shouted out. "Just a little longer, Nami…" Chopper than jumped into the grove Usopp along with him as the kids held on tightly. As they were in mid-air, Usopp soon noticed the lit dynamite as it was nearing the stick. Usopp gasped realizing the kids were in danger and kicked Chopper away just as the fuse ended.

The entire section of Daft Green exploded destroying the section. Luckily, even with Usopp kicking the reindeer away, everyone was fine though the Chopper reverting back to Brain Point and the kids on the ground nearby. Chopper was the first up speaking with great relief. "We're okay, somehow…Are you okay kids?"

Akio sat up as he checked himself for any serious injuries though finding none. "Yeah, I think so."

"Mom!" Everyone looked over to the side to see Mika already by her mother's side. Due to the explosion, Nami was now free from the metal pipes restricting her movement, but was now unconscious. Mika was shaking her mother not sure what was wrong with her. Immediately the rest joined her side as they spoke.

"Nami!"

"Nami! Hang in there!"

"Don't worry Mika, we'll get her out!" The males quickly began removing the remaining pipes to get to Nami. Meanwhile Mika kept shaking her mother as she tried to wake her up.

"Is she alright? I'll get you out of there."

"What's wrong with her?" Mika looked over to Chopper as she noticed the green lumps on Nami's skin. Immediately Chopper recognized the disease having seen it before.

"These lumps… It's just like Xiao's grandma… We have to get her treated."

"Please hurry." With Mika's plea, the men nodded and quickly hurried to help Nami. However they all stopped when they heard a low rumble beyond the Daft Green. Though the kids were confused, Usopp and Chopper immediately knew what was going on.

"This… This is…"

"Could it be…?"

"We've got a lot on our hands already…"

"Hurry and get Nami out of there…"

"What's going on?" While the kids asked curiously, what Usopp and Chopper were talking about was the massive stampede of the islands animals. As soon as the beast could be seen, everyone screamed in terror.

"NO!!!" Everyone quickly pulled out the metal pipes, even the kids and Chopper now in Heavy Point, as the beast began to approach the empty section of the Daft Green circle. Once the pipes were cleared, Chopper took Nami and Usopp took the kids as the rushed back to the palace with the beast behind them.
Author's note: Yo! Due to the overwhelming demand to know what Mika and Akio are wearing, I have went back and given them a description brought to you by OPRofPQFN2. Sorry for being so lazy and thank you OPRofPQFN2.

Until next time, Ja Ne!
