Rose's Point of View
"Destroy this thing so we don't turn into candles!" Nami yelled from the platform.
What the hell is that?
There were four people we were fighting: Mr. 5, Miss Valentine, Mr. 3, and his partner, Miss Goldenweek.
"I killed you!" Mr. 5 said, surprised to see Luffy still breathing.
"Clearly you didn't," Mr. 3 replied. "This time, I'll deal with Straw Hat. You two handle the others."
"Don't worry, I've got your back... from way over here!" Usopp said.
"What was that?" I asked.
I looked back and saw that Luffy's legs had been locked together by a wax bar. Before Mr. 3 had the chance to lock his arms, Luffy swung off the sword holding the giant down and knocked over part of the tower, trapping our friends.
Oh, the giant's over... there. Don't think about it. Focus on Baroque Works. He can't hurt me if he's tied down like that.
"Luffy, that was great and all, but we're still stuck!" I heard Steve tell his friend. "You needed to destroy the thing holding us, not the part holding the wax maker!"
The next time Mr. 3 went after Luffy, Usopp attempted to shoot him, but Mr. 5 ate the bullet.
"10,000 Kilogram Guillotine!" The second I looked up, I saw Miss Valentine hurtling toward me.
I jumped back to avoid the attack and ran in once she had crashed into the ground.
"Sickle Claw!" I swung with five curved blades, but she blocked me with her umbrella. She changed her weight, so when I hit her, she went flying back.
How sturdy is that umbrella? My knives should've cut it apart.
"Good job, Luffy! Now, destroy the pumpkin making the wax mist!" I heard Steve yell. When I looked over, I saw Luffy had gotten past Mr. 3 and was inches from freeing our friends.
"No," Luffy said.
What?! Luffy never tells Steve no.
"Luffy, this isn't playtime! Get them out of there!" I yelled.
"I don't wanna. I don't feel like helping you," Luffy told me.
"Colors Trap," the little girl explained.
"What is going on?" Usopp asked me.
"I don't know."
"Take a look under your friend's foot," Miss Valentine pointed out. Luffy was stepping on a symbol painted on the ground.
Usopp was almost taken out by Mr. 5 while he had been looking at Luffy but managed to avoid the surprise attack and run into the forest, leaving me to deal with Miss Valentine.
Steve's Point of View
No matter what I did, Luffy wouldn't do what I said. He just did the opposite. He needed to get off that symbol.
"Black is the color of betrayal. He only hears the opposite," Miss Goldenweek explained.
Opposite?
"Luffy, get away from that thing!" Nami yelled.
"No, that's wrong," I told her.
"What?"
"Luffy, listen. I want you to stand absolutely still. Don't move at all," I told him.
Hope this works.
Luffy stepped off the symbol, doing the opposite of what I told him. He started laughing hysterically.
"Laughter Yellow!"
Now, Luffy was too busy laughing to help us. Usopp and Karoo were behind him, running from Mr. 5.
"Usopp, you have to get Luffy's shirt off!" Nami yelled.
We were running out of time. It was getting harder to breathe and almost impossible to move. Luffy kept getting different colors on him. He attacked the ground and even took a tea break.
"Get up!" we all yelled.
"Told you to get into a good pose," Zoro mocked us.
"Screw you!" the girls and I yelled back.
I was about to yell something to Luffy, but my mouth wouldn't move.
I can't talk... And now I can't see. Am I dead?
Rose's Point of View
"Move," I told Miss Valentine.
Usopp had run off to find Luffy, and I was stuck dealing with this lady. I needed to get back to the others before they turned into candles.
"10,000 Kilogram Axe!" She picked her leg up and tried to crush my skull with an axe kick.
While she was recovering from her kick, I attempted to take her down.
"Knife Rain!" I threw a hail of blades at the woman, but she shifted her weight to avoid the attack.
"Sit still, dammit!" I yelled.
Miss Valentine floated back toward the tower imprisoning my friends. I followed her and found the others in bad shape. Steve, Zoro, Nami, and Vivi were all frozen in wax. Usopp and the duck were on the ground, covered in dust and burns. And for some reason, Luffy had no shirt on.
"You're too late. Your friends are finished. You must feel disappointed," Mr. 3 gloated as he constructed a huge suit of armor out of wax.
"Candle Champion!"
Luffy got distracted by the suit, and Usopp had to get him to focus. I snuck around behind Mr. 5 and his partner.
This time, I won't fail.
I burst out and focused my attack on Miss Valentine.
"Sunset Shower!" Before she even hit the ground, she was finished.
"What the?" Mr. 5 turned around, but I already had a knife to his neck and another hand around his wrist.
"Breathe wrong and you die," I told him. "Drop the gun."
"Don't get cocky." Mr. 5 dropped the gun, but when he did, he snapped his fingers, creating an explosion that knocked me back. He ran forward and grabbed me by the collar of my jacket. He smirked. "I'm gonna blow each of my fingers one at a time and make your demise slow."
"Run, Karoo!" I saw Usopp send the duck running around the wax sculpture with a rope in its mouth.
"Luffy, you have to burn the rope!" Usopp yelled.
Luffy dragged Mr. 3 and his flaming hair over to the rope and lit it. The entire structure was set aflame. The whole thing started coming down, with wax flying everywhere.
"Your time's up!" Mr. 5 pulled his fingers back and got ready to blow me up.
"Flaming Oni Giri!" "Fire Snake!"
Mr. 5 suddenly collapsed in a heap after being sliced and beaten by Zoro and Steve.
"Thank you!" I said, running up to Zoro with a smile. I heard Steve grumble next to us.
"Nice to see me getting thanks again," Steve said, all pissed off.
Steve's Point of View
After we escaped from the flaming platform, Zoro, Nami, Vivi, and I helped the others. Nami had lost her shirt escaping from the fire, but mine remained intact, despite a few marks. Luffy and the duck ran off to find and finish off Mr. 3 and his partner.
"Seems I passed out for a bit," a voice bellowed from behind the trees.
Usopp and the giant began crying over the arrival of a second giant. Apparently, they thought the man had been killed, but since the weapons the giants used were so old and dull, he was spared.
Vivi got all upset, saying this wouldn't have happened if she didn't come to the island, but Nami reassured her it wasn't her fault. Our main problem now was finding a way to the next island. We couldn't wait a year for the log to set; we would have to find a different way. Even the giants had no way to help us.
"NAMI! ROSE! VIVI! You're okay!" We all turned to see Sanji finally arrive.
"Now he shows up," Zoro, Usopp, and I complained about the cook's tardiness.
Sanji explained that he had an interaction over the phone with Mr. 0. He was mistaken for Mr. 3 and convinced Crocodile that we were dead.
"Oh, and I got this, too," he said, showing us an Eternal Pose to Alabasta.
We're saved.
The rest of us were speechless. Vivi was so thankful for Sanji saving the day that she gave him a hug. Luffy wanted to throw a party, but I put a stop to that.
"No, we need to get Vivi home as soon as possible," I said, gathering my things. "Everybody get ready; we're leaving now."
Luffy was upset we couldn't stay, but when I told him he could have a party on the ship once we got out to sea, he ran back right away. On our walk back, Sanji brought up our little contest. When we got back, there was another argument over who had won, but Nami said since we couldn't bring all the meat, it didn't matter.
"I still won," I mumbled as I climbed back onboard.
"I heard that!" Zoro yelled from under me.
When we made it to the mouth of the river, the giants were standing at the shore.
"There is one more obstacle standing in your way before you can leave this place. No matter what, only sail straight," they told us.
"You got it!" Luffy yelled back. "Straight!"
The water in front of us parted to reveal a giant fish blocking our path.
"What is that thing?!" Rose yelled, cringing behind a stack of boxes.
"Usopp, turn the helm, or we're gonna crash!" Nami yelled.
"No! We can't, right, Luffy?" Usopp asked.
"Yep! We're going straight!"
"You're sure we can trust those giants, right?" I asked Luffy.
"Yeah!" he responded as we were swallowed by the fish.
Hope you're right.
The center of the fish suddenly exploded, freeing us and launching us forward out to sea.
"Incredible," I said, amazed by what had just happened. They really had helped us out.
"Let's go!" Luffy yelled. "To Alabasta!"
Robin's Point of View
"Miss All-Sunday, send Mr. 2 to Little Garden. Have him kill Mr. 3," Crocodile commanded.
"That's awfully violent," I said. "And besides, didn't I hear Mr. 3 succeeded? Why kill him?"
"He may have succeeded, but he lied to me. I won't tolerate that. And don't you dare talk back to me."
"It will be done at once, Sir Crocodile," I said, walking out of the room.
So they're dead. Why does that make me feel sad?... You didn't seem that weak.
