Not yet ruler. General Scales expected to see his men return with Tricky, but things didnt go that way as General Scales was told that their somebody protecting him, which we all know is Zoro. Infuriated by this, General Scales takes it upon himself to find Tricky, and take care of Zoro's meddling actions. Meanwhile, Pigma has been ordered to eliminate Starwolf. Will this make Nami's situation better or worse?

Chapter 107: Titania's treasure, A tarnished soul

Nami, and Starwolf finally arrived right in front of the odd structured base, which looked abandoned, but something about it would make anyone to stay away.

"We're here." Nami said while putting her hands around her hips, "So now what?"

"We look for an elevator." Wolf said while walking past Nami, "Resources tell me that there is a hidden underground base that could only be accessed by going down an elevator here. The treasure should be down there."

"Okay, but where could it be?" Nami asked.

"I don't know." Wolf said with a light shrug, "Use your imagination, Princess. Where do you think it would be?"

Nami puts her hand around her chin as she wondered where the elevator could be. She then looked at a big spire at the highest part of the base. "I think it's up around there." Nami said while pointing at the spire, "If nobody wanted anybody to find their underground base, they should have it's access point to where no one could get to if this place was heavily guarded. And I could also tell that by just looking at this place, there is not single thing to go around here other than going up those hills, so I think the elevator is up there somewhere."

"Marvelous! Your intellect reflects your beauty in every way." Panther said romantically. Leon rolled his eyes in annoyance as Wolf looked at Nami with a smirk.

"Well done. I did the right thing when I made you a part of my team." Wolf said.

"For now, that is." Nami said with a stern look, "Once Luffy comes to get me, I will not have anything to do with any of you anymore."

"Heh... we'll see." Wolf said as he then faced towards the base. "Let's go."

They walked in the base's area, looking around to see where they could get up to the spire. As they were doing that, a wind flew by, blowing in some sand through the base for a moment. Nami covered her face until the wind stopped blowing, and then noticed some grains of grey sand around her. She got on one knee, and observed it with a curious look. "Grey sand? That's strange."

Wolf turned around to see Nami having grey sand on her hand. "... That's not sand." Wolf said. Nami looked at Wolf confusion, until she then realized what Wolf was talking about. Nami gasped as she quickly brushed the 'sand' off her hands in panic.

"The hell!" Nami gasped, "Did something happen here?"

"Don't look at me; I had nothing to do with this." Wolf said as he then raised his gaze while looking the other way, "Although..."

"Hey, we can go up from here!" Leon said while facing in front of rocky slope, leading up to the cliffs. Wolf then stopped what he was thinking before.

"Meh... nevermind. Come on." Wolf said while walking ahead. Nami wondered what Wolf thought about as she then followed him, and the others up the slope connected to the cliff walls. As they went on, Wolf was having a very bad feeling as he took out his claw blaster. "Something is not right here..."

"Huh?" Nami said curiously. Suddenly, in the center of the base, their was some odd-looking machines coming from under the sand. They were small, and round looking machines that stretched out their pointy legs, and pincer like arms. Yellow eyes glowed from the center of their faceless look as they faced towards the group. "Wh-What are those!"

Some of the round machines then leaped towards the group with incredible speed, but were instantly slashed into by Wolf using his claw blaster. "Get to the top!" Wolf yelled as everyone started running up the slope. The machines then morphed into a ball, and rolled up the slope with great speed, and in complete balance. While running, Wolf glanced over his shoulder to see the machines are gaining on him, and his team. "Leon, Panther; go!"

Leon and Panther nodded as Leon turned towards the machines as some of them rolled past him, while some others turned back into their original form, and aimed their pincers at Leon. "Ha! You think you can scare me with those!" Leon asked with a cocky smirk as he took out two blasters, "Bring it!"

The machines fired multiple lasers at Leon, who fired back with his blasters in a quick rapid succession, which was outstanding since he was using regular blasters to begin with as he was shooting down every laser that came towards him, creating some very small explosions that blocked his, and the machines' view. The machines stopped firing as they thought they got rid of Leon, but one of them was then shot from behind as it fell destroyed. The other machines turned around, only to see nothing as they all then got shot by something invisible.

By the time they we're destroyed, Leon turned visible, revealing that he was using chameleon-like abilities as he then smirked while placing his blaster on his shoulder. "Such worms... ha ha ha!"

Panther ran along the cliff edges of the base as the machines that passed through Leon earlier were chasing him. "What a nuisance..." Panther muttered as he then took out a red rose, and jumped forward while facing towards the machines. "IMPERDONABLE!" The petals from Panther's rose flew off as Panther then got on his feet, and leaped through the machines with petals flying around him. Panther then jumped onto a higher cliff as the machines suddenly stopped moving. Sparks then spewed out of their circuits as they then exploded into tiny pieces.

Panther sighed as he then noticed the spire above him. "I'll take the short way." He said as he started jumping his way to the top.

Wolf, and Nami were running along the cliff path, with Wolf running faster as Nami couldn't keep up with him. "Slow down!" Nami yelled. She then stopped as she saw several of the round machines jumping from a higher cliff next to her, and landed right in front of her as Wolf turned around to see what was happening.

"Don't just stand there! Get rid of them; I'll find the elevator in the meantime!" Wolf said as he then left Nami.

"You are just going to leave me here!" Nami yelled as the machines then approached her. "Tsk!" Nami took out her PCT, and confronted the machines, "THUNDER CHARGE!" Nami charged the end of her PCT as she started swinging it like a flail, "SWING ARM!" Nami swung her PCT horizontally, electrifying all the machines in front of her as they then exploded from short circuiting.

Nami then ran up the cliff, and finally managed to get to the top where the spire was as Wolf was standing right in front of it. Wolf noticed her coming as he could see she was angry. "That was quick. Shame I didn't see what you're made of." Wolf said.

"Oh, I'll show you what I made of!" Nami barked while clenching her fist. Panther then regrouped with them after jumping on the top part of the base, while Leon climbed up the wall while shooting at the round machines, which seems to be more of them coming from under the sand around the base.

"There is too many of them! We have to get of here!" Leon said while shooting. Wolf looked in front of the spire, seeing that there was an electrical barrier in front of the elevator shaft.

"Unless we can get this out of the way now, or we have to fight all of these things until sunset." Wolf said with a frown. Nami wondered what to do, until she then came up with an idea as she then wiped the sweat off her forehead.

"Ohh... it's so hot out here." Nami said while looking at the blazing sun. Wolf, and Leon wondered what Nami was saying at the situation they are in, while Panther was feeling worried for her. "I just don't see any other way to cool off." Nami said as she then grabbed the bottom of her shirt. "If only I could get into the elevator. I could take off all my clothes if we were just inside.

Panther suddenly had a very determined look on his face as he then shoulderbarged the electric barrier with great force. Despite getting electrocuted, Panther pushed with all his might until he then shattered the barrier with his own strength as he then fell on the ground nearly paralyzed.

"Nice..." Wolf said as he then hurried to the elevator, and opened the doors. Nami, and Leon hurried in as well, with Leon still shooting at the machines as Nami then pulled in Panther into the elevator.

"Thank you, Panther-kun." Nami said kindly as Panther dazedly gave the thumbs up in response. Wolf then planted some sensor bombs on the ground before getting in the elevator with his team. They all saw how the machines were charging at them befor e the elevator doors closed.

KABOOM!

A loud explosion could be heard outside the elevator as it then started to descend. "Ugh... that was very close." Nami sighed.

"You did good out there, Princess." Wolf said next to her, "You can have the bigger cut of the treasure once we get it."

"Yes!" Nami said excitedly, while this made Leon angry.

"We could've done it without you, you know? Don't be so damn excited about this." Leon said rudely.

"Say what you want; you know what would have happened if I wasn't here. Tee hee!" Nami said while winking at Leon, which pissed him off even more.

"Nami..." Panther groggily said, "We are inside the elevator. You may take off your clothes now."

"No, thanks; I'm too happy now." Nami said cheerfully, causing Panther to moan in pain.

Meanwhile...

Peppy was sitting up against the wall of his big prison cell, as he looked very sad. "Fox... oh, I hope you don't give in just because of me." Peppy said to himself, "-sigh-... if there was only way to get out of here."

"Get your freakin' furry hands off me!"

"Hmm?" Peppy saw the barriers of his prison cell disappear as he then saw multiple guards struggling to put Franky in it.

"Put me down! You can't get away with this! Whoa!" The guards tossed Franky inside the cell, and activated it's barriers again. Franky, who still had laser cuffs on him, hopped on his feet, and tried to go through the barrier. "You think this can hold me! You just wait, and see what will happen to you later!"

The guards ignored him as they walked away, leaving Franky to shoulderbarge the barrier repeatedly. "Dammit! Break!" As much as Franky tried to escape, he couldn't do anything to the barrier as he backed off while panting heavily. "Crud! If only I had some cola with me!"

"Umm... hello?" Peppy said in confusion.

"Eh?" Franky glanced over his shoulder to notice Peppy for the first time.

After a brief explanation, Peppy, and Franky were both sitting up against the wall, now talking about their situation. "I see... so you are one of the pirates that came into Corneria yesterday." Peppy said, "I never thought I meet you here."

"And I didn't think I'd meet the guy who tried to give me, and my pals the warm welcome after that stupid ambush." Franky said as he then looked at Peppy, "But, you know, you are nothing like I imagined. I thought you would be some tough looking macho man, but it turns out you're just an old rabbit. No offense."

"None taken." Peppy replied, "As for me, I'd imagined the pirates being tough-looking as well, and it appears that I was right, only you look more stronger than I thought."

"Ahahahaha! I like ya, Old rabbit bro!" Franky laughed, "My name's Franky."

"I'm Peppy Hare. Nice to meet you." Peppy said kindly, "So, Franky, how is that you got on this ship?"

Franky then looked up the ceiling with a frown, "These jerks came attacking the town, and for some reason, they took my ship. I tried to stop them, but... well, you know." He said while making a gesture to his laser cuffs.

"I'm sorry to hear that." Peppy said sadly, "I wouldn't know what Oikonny wants with your ship."

"Oikonny?" Franky asked, "Old man, can you tell me who are these guys, and why they kidnapped you?" Peppy then had a sad look on his face as he then explained the whole thing about Andrew, his army, and his uncle, Andross. After he finished explaining, Franky was shocked. "No kidding! A gorilla head trying to take over the Lylat System!"

"He was very powerful, and his nephew, Andrew Oikonny, intends to take his place." Peppy said as he then looked at the ground, "I don't know how he got so powerful in such a short notice, but he has to be stopped."

"I think I've seen the guy before. Is he the baboon with the horse face?" Franky asked. Peppy nodded as Franky then smirked, "That guy doesn't even look like he can rule a stick. Don't worry, rabbit bro, we're going to get out of here in one way or another."

"I hope so." Peppy said, "But with the tight security here, that may be impossible. Our only hope is Fox, and the others, but I doubt that they will come here with my life in stake."

"Fox is a smart guy, he'll know what to do... even though he is a heartbreaking bum." Franky said as he then looked at Peppy, "But just incase he doesn't, I'll be the guy who will be taking back his ship, and will be saving your ass today. You can count on that!"

Peppy was shocked to hear those words as he looked at Franky, seeing that he has very confident grin on his face. Before Peppy could say anything, the cell's barriers disappeared as several guards got inside. "Emperor Oikonny wishes to see you both right now." One of them said.

"Tsk!" Franky muttered as several guards then picked up him since he cuffed, while two other guards pulled Peppy off the wall, and pushed him out of the cell as they took Peppy out of the prison area. Franky was also taken away, but in a slower pace since the guards were once again having a hard time trying to move him. "Get off me! Eh... I hope the others are okay."

Meanwhile...

The Great Fox was already flying through space, trying to find where to find the enemy mothership that Peppy was in. In the bridge, you see the Starfox team waiting for ROB to get some results, while the Strawhat crew were just standing around there. It was really quiet in the room after the little 'incident' that happened to Luffy, and Fox as they were just trying to forget about it.

"I can't believe our ship is gone." Usopp said in a sad tone, "Why would someone take our ship?"

"Who knows?" Sanji asked while laying up against the wall, "Our only option is to find it, and try to find a way to get back on Corneria."

"They captured Franky too! What's going to happen to him?" Chopper asked worryingly.

"He'll be fine." Sanji said as he then too had a worried look, "What I am worried about is where Nami-san could be. If she wasn't with you guys, then where is she?"

"She might have been captured along with the ship... or maybe something else might have happen while we were gone?" Robin presumed, making Sanji a bit nervous.

"Well... wherever she is, I will save her no matter what it takes!" Sanji said confidently. The only one quiet in the group was Luffy, who had his arms crossed while laying up against the wall as he looked at space through the bridge's windows. It was then ROB who then faced towards the Starfox team.

"It's no use. I cannot find the mothership on the radar. We lost it for good." ROB said.

"Damn! We could've caught up to them if it wasn't for the three musketidiots here." Falco said, referring to Luffy, Usopp, and Sanji.

"Who are you calling an idiot, you idiot?" Sanji asked with a frown.

"Guys, this isn't the time to fight again!" Slippy said, breaking Sanji, and Falco apart, "We have to work together to find Peppy, and Franky! We cant afford to waste anymore time arguing."

"Slippy's right. We have to find those two, and our ship!" Usopp said, "Otherwise, we wont be able to get back home, and our lives will be over as we know it!"

"There is no need to exaggerate, Usopp." Krystal said to him calmly, "Besides, that ship shouldn't have gone far, so it shouldn't be much trouble finding it. The only question is, how do we rescue our friends from Oikonny's grasp?"

Fox then turned towards the group, "This is something we can do ourselves." Fox said as he then looked at the Strawhat crew, "Sorry, guys, but we have put you through so much lately, and you lost your companions for it. Don't worry; we will rescue Peppy, and Franky from Oikonny, I promise."

"Ha! That's funny." Luffy said sarcastically. Everyone looked at Luffy as Fox looked at him oddly, "First, you kidnapped my crew, and now you want to pretend to save them?"

"What!" Fox asked in shock.

"Luffy! Fox, and his team aren't the bad guys! We told you that already!" Chopper said.

"Then why did he force you to come aboard his ship! It's obvious he's the bad guy here!" Luffy said angrily while pointing at Fox.

"Now, wait a minute, I didn't kidnap anybody!" Fox stated, "I actually saved your crew from a possible execution! You should thank me for protecting them!"

"You left Zoro on another world I haven't been before, and you want me to believe that was good!" Luffy asked.

"Is Luffy angry about us going with Fox, or is he just jealous that Zoro went to another world, and he didn't?" Chopper asked while sweatdropping.

"I think it's both." Robin said. Falco then walked in front of the angry duo.

"Come on, guys. Let's not start a ruckus." Falco said with a light, and cocky shrug, "Tell you what, how about you guys kiss, and make up again, so we can put this matter behind us?"

POW!

Falco punched in the face by Luffy, and Fox in the same time as Falco fell on his back nearly unconscious. Chopper, and Slippy were shocked at this as Sanji had enough.

"I think it's time you two to stop acting so childish, and get back into what is important right now." Sanji said.

"I agree, Fox. Stop being so impolite." Krystal said in a rather unpleasant tone. Fox looked at Krystal before sighing.

"Okay, fine." Fox said as he then faced in front of the bridge's keyboard, "Like Krystal said before, we could still find the ship. All we need to do is to figure out a way to get our friends out of there."

"We could use the jamming smartbomb I have been working on." Slippy suggested.

"Jamming smartbomb?" Usopp asked curiously.

"It's a new bomb I recently designed." Slippy said, "It's designed to jam the signals of all airships except for our Arwings you saw in the hangar. If we use that, we can mess with Oikonny's airship fleet, and mess up their controls long enough to just fly in Oikonny's mothership, and get our friends out of there in an instant."

"That's great, Slippy! Where is it?" Fox asked.

"It just need some few modifications, and the only problem is that I haven't tested it yet, but I am very sure it should work!" Slippy said.

"Okay, then here is what we are going to do." Fox started to explain, "Slippy will fire his special smartbomb onto Oikonny's fleet, that is when we go through Oikonny's defenses, and infiltrate his ship." He then looked at the Strawhat crew, "Since you guys have some battle experience, we're counting on you to ambush Oikonny's mothership, and rescue our friends. We don't know how long Slippy's bomb will last, so don't waste any time there."

"But what about our ship?" Usopp asked, "We can't just leave it there!"

"We'll figure out how to get your ship back later. What's more important right now is to save Peppy, and Franky." Fox said, "After all that is done, Andrew wont be escaping from us this time."

"Yosh! Let's go kick their asses now!" Luffy yelled determinedly.

"We have to find their base first! Weren't you listening!" Usopp asked.

"Alright, I'll start finishing up on the bomb." Slippy said as he then looked around the ground, "All I need is my wrench first. I can't seem to find it."

"I think you left it in the briefing room." Krystal said, "Don't worry; I'll go get it for you."

Krystal then left the bridge as Sanji watched her leave. "Oh... I've never seen such beauty before..." Sanji said happily as he then took out the rose he still has from Mute City, "If I can just express my true feelings to her, then she'll probably accept me!"

"Ahem..." Sanji glanced over his shoulder to see Fox a little angry at Sanji for what he said. Sanji was confused as Robin then explained everything to him by whispering in his ear.

"Oh! So sorry!" Sanji apologized as he then lowered his head in depression. "You are a very lucky man. Don't ever let go of her."

Fox accepted Sanji's apology as Sanji sadly lets go of the rose he was holding. "Hm?" Chopper looked at the rose as he then blushed a bit before looking where Krystal left off.

Meanwhile...

Krystal was walking along the grey hallways of the Great Fox until she then entered the briefing room, which was a little messier than before. "-sigh-... I sure wish that everyone can clean up this place by themselves. I don't want to be the only one who cares around here. Now, where is that wrench?"

Krystal then started to search for the wrench behind Fox's chair, until she then felt a cool breeze coming into the room. "Huh?" Krystal looked up to see the automatic door just closing. "That's odd..." She shrugged it off as she then continued searching. She looked around the jukebox, but then could hear the sound of faint footsteps. She turned around, but saw no one in the room as the sound.

"Is someone there?" Krystal asked, since she couldn't feel a presence. "I must be hearing things." Krystal then looked underneath the cushions next to a window, and found the wrench under one of them. "Here it is." Krystal picked it up, and smiled while looking at it. "I swear, Slippy shouldn't leave his stuff laying around here. I must straighten him out before he takes this as a bad habit."

Krystal then got up, and turned around. "Huh!" Krystal gasped as their was somebody in front of her. "W-Who are you! How did you get in here!"

MPNo. 1 looked at Krystal as he then took out an Obscurum tear from his pocket, and moved it in front of Krystal's face. "You will submit!" MPNo. 1 said. Krystal was paralyzed in fear as the Obscurum tear was getting brighter.

A minute later, Chopper could be seen walking through the hallways, holding the rose Sanji dropped earlier with both hooves as he seemed nervous. "Okay... what should I say to her?" Chopper asked himself, "Um, Krystal? I... like you, so I would like for you to have this. No... that didn't sound good." Chopper then acted tough, "Yo, Krystal! I want you to be my girlfriend, so you better take this before you regret it! N-No, that sounds mean."

Chopper pondered for a while until he then grew some self-esteem, "I'll just be myself. If she says no, then I'll be proud that I'd atleast tried." Chopper then continued to walk forward until he was in front of the briefing room. He was about to go in, but was getting nervous again. "Hmm... what am I doing? Krystal belongs to Fox. It wouldn't be right to say that I like her. But I just cant..."

Suddenly, the door to the briefing room opened, startling Chopper as he saw Krystal getting out. "Oh, Krystal! You scared me." Chopper sighed in relief as he then blushed while avoiding eye contact, "Krystal... their has been something I wanted to say to you, but I was too nervous to say it." He then held up his rose with both of his hooves, "You see, I... huh?"

Chopper looked up at Krystal, and saw her laying her hand against the side door as she seemed different somehow. She looked rather grim instead of happy, and her eyes were showing little to no emotion. It was like she turned into a new kind of person, a person you would want to stay away from. The eerie look in her eyes was making Chopper worry about her.

"K-Krystal?" Chopper said worryingly. Krystal shifted her eyes down to look at Chopper.

"Oh... it's you." Krystal said with her creepy grim look, "What do you want?"

"Um..." Chopper looked past Krystal to see that there were no one in the briefing room behind. He then looked at Krystal, which made him worry even more. "... I just wanted to ask you if... um... Krystal, are you okay?"

"Hmph! That's what you wanted ask me? What a waste of my time." Krystal grumbled as she then walked past Chopper. Chopper then faced towards her, more worried about her than ever.

"Krystal, is something the matter? You don't look well." Chopper said with a sad look. Krystal stopped walking as she then looked at the ground.

"I don't look well?" Krystal asked a little angry, "What is about you men about how women look? Aren't you satisfied enough the way you want us to be? Why should you care about how I look!"

"I-I didn't mean it like that!" Chopper replied nervously, "I'm just-"

"Just what!" Krystal asked furiously, "Are you trying to say that you like me!" Chopper was shocked hearing that as Krystal then smirked, "Yeah, I knew. I knew it since we first met. You've always tried to hide it, but you can't hide anything from me! I'm a telepath, remember! I know every single thing you have in mind, and right now, you're wondering why I am acting so strange... haven't it occurred to you that this may be my true self! I can't stand the way people look at me without acting the way they want me to be!"

"Krystal... I don't know what's going on, but do you want to talk about it?" Chopper asked.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Is that your way of saying it!" Krystal asked as she then faced towards Chopper with a smirk, "I know what you want me to do for you, but you are going to have say something better than that to get me in the mood!" Krystal then started walking towards Chopper, who was backing away as he was scared of Krystal, "Do you want to have sex with me! I know you do! The first thing that came to your mind about me was how beautiful I looked, so I knew you would eventually find a way to make me yours to fulfill your disgusting needs!"

"Krystal, stop! I would never do anything to hurt you!" Chopper cried. Krystal then grabbed Chopper by the neck, shocking him as he drops the rose he was holding before Krystal pushed him against the wall. She then started to choke Chopper as she then tilted her head in confusion.

"What will you do to make me happy?" Krystal asked calmly as she then raised Slippy's wrench, "Will you bleed for me? I will be happy if you did!"

"PLEASE, KRYSTAL, NOOOO!" Chopper cried loudly. Krystal's eyes then widened in shock as she dropped the wrench, and let's go of Chopper. Chopper gasped for air as Krystal held her head in pain. While panting, Chopper looked at Krystal as she seemed to be calming down.

"I'm sorry, Chopper. I didn't mean to do that." Krystal said as she was now dazed, "My head hurts... I am going to lie down for a while. Could you give the wrench back to Slippy, please? Thank you..."

Without saying anything else, Krystal got up, and walked away, stepping on the rose Chopper brought for her. As Chopper watched her leave, he knew for certain that something happened to her.

"Krystal... what's wrong?"

Meanwhile...

In a lake next to a waterfall, Zoro could be seen nearly unconscious on the shore. He rubbed his head as he got up on his knees. "Ugh... where am I?" He asked as he looked at his surroundings. He then gasped as he remembered what happened earlier. "Oh no! Tricky!" Zoro got on his feet, and looked for Tricky, "Tricky, where are you!"

"Yah..."

Zoro looked to his right to see Tricky laying on his back, with swirls over his eyes as he was dizzy after falling. "Tricky, get up!" Zoro said.

"Who, wha?" Tricky muttered as he then regained his focus upon seeing Zoro, "Oh, Zoro. You're okay!" He said while rolling back on his feet.

"Are you okay?" Zoro asked.

"Y-Yeah." Tricky replied, "Man, I thought we were dead back there! Who knew that the Sharpclaw would suddenly attack us!"

"Your the king of this world! You should've known what was going on around here!" Zoro said.

"Hey, even I can't predict when they would attack again!" Tricky replied angrily, "I'm just surprised that General Scales is back. I'd never thought that he would come back so suddenly."

"That is the least of our worries right now." Zoro said while looking up the waterfall, "They are going to come looking for us, and I lost the swords I was carrying with me before we fell here. If we want to get out of this alive, I am going to need my swords back, if that's okay with you?"

Tricky looked at Zoro, and knew that he didn't get along with him that well, but he decided to put that thought aside. "Alright, man, I'll give you your swords back. But you must promise that you won't kill me for the things I did to you."

"Heh heh! Trust me, I have been through alot worse situations before. What you try to do to me was hardly anything." Zoro said with a smile.

"Ha ha, I guess you're right! Lucky I didn't go extreme with you. Hee hee!" Tricky replied happily as he then tried to look at his back. "Don't worry; I'll give you your... swords?" Tricky noticed that Zoro's swords were no longer on his back. It was quiet for a few moments until Tricky looked back at Zoro with a weak smile. "Eh heh... um, here's a funny story. I think, um..."

Zoro noticed Tricky didn't have his swords on his back, and just by seeing how Tricky was acting, he knew he lost them. "Are you kidding me!" Zoro asked as he then started choking Tricky mercilessly while moving his neck back, and forth. "Of all the stupid things, this is by far the stupidest thing you have done to me!"

Tricky broke free of Zoro's grip as he gasped for air, "Why are you blaming me! It was an accident!" Tricky yelled back. He then noticed some sparks under his neck as the gadget he had around his neck fell off in pieces. "You see what you did! Now anybody can take your swords thanks to you!"

"Geh!" Zoro gasped as he then rubbed his temples in anger, "Why is it so hard to have my swords back here!" Zoro asked. He then calmed down as he looked back at Tricky, "Okay, we're not going to get anywhere by yelling. We need to stay calm, and find somewhere that is safe from those guys that attacked us up there. You have any ideas?"

"Hmm..." Tricky began to think until he thought of an idea, "We can go to the Walled City. That place is heavily guarded by my fellow Earthwalkers! Their is no way that Scales could get to us there!"

"Alright. We'll come back around here to look for my swords once this Sharpclaw threat is over." Zoro said, "Where is this Walled City?"

"It's just ahead of this path." Tricky said, making a gesture to open path between some trees, and shrubs, "It's a long way there, so you better keep up."

"Just the lead the way." Zoro said.

As they went along the path that leads to the Walled City, back on Cape Claw, General Scales was observing the whole area, seeing the damages, and the rest of his men he sent out nearly dead. "I don't understand!" He said angrily, "How is it that you all lost if you outnumbered them!"

"It was Tricky's friend that did all this!" One of the injured Sharpclaw replied, "He was too powerful."

General Scales then kicked the Sharpclaw that replied to him for being so loud, injuring him more as Sharpclaw walked towards the end of the waterfall.

"And they escaped from here? I doubt they'd even survive." Scales said as he then looked at the uninjured Sharpclaws with him, "Search down there! Report to me if you find their bodies!"

The Sharpclaw nodded as they quickly left his General alone. Scales then had a bright shining into his eye, "Hergh?" Scales looked to his right, and saw Zoro's swords near the destroyed rocks as one of Zoro's swords, the Ichimonji, was slighty out of it's sheathe as it reflected the sun's ray into Scales face. Scales walked up to the blades, and slowly grabbed them, showing that the electrical barrier around was gone as Scales wondered who the swords belonged to.

"Now, just what do we have here?"

Meanwhile...

Nami, and Starwolf continued to descend down with the elevator as Nami yawned out of boredom. "How much further till we get there?" Nami asked Wolf.

"Don't worry about it. As they say, the longer the wait, the better the prize will be." Wolf said. Nami giggled at that thought, but stopped as she realized something.

"What the...? Am I actually enjoying being with these people?" Nami thought before she shook her head, "No, pull it together! I can't let him take control over me."

The elevator then finally reached it's destination as it opened up it's doors, letting Nami, and Starwolf out of the elevator. They were now in a huge underground base, with several open floor, and another elevator at the other side of the bottom floor. They walked ahead until Nami saw something she liked.

"Look! A safe!" Nami said excitedly while pointing at a huge safe to her left. "That must be where the treasure is!"

"How do we open it?" Leon asked, "And if we do open it, how do we know there isn't another trap waiting for us?"

"We'll have to find out." Wolf said while taking out some bombs, "Princess, blow up the door with these. Then go inside to see if there is a trap." Wolf then tossed the bombs to Nami, who barely caught them all as she glared at Wolf.

"You want to risk my life to see if there is a trap! Are you out of your mi-!" Before Nami could finish, she saw Wolf taking out his claw blaster, "I was just kidding again! Geez, get a grip, will you!"

Wolf smirked as Nami slowly approached the safe's door. When she did, she felt a slight breeze coming from it's side. When she went to take a look, she noticed that the safe wasn't locked at all. "Hey, it's not even locked up! It's still open."

"Open?" Wolf asked curiously. He, and his team checked themselves, and saw that the door wasn't fully closed.

"Strange... why is it left open?" Panther asked.

Wolf then placed his hands into the lock's opening, and started pulling it, "Give me a hand!" Wolf said. Leon, and Panther helped Wolf opened the door as Nami then got to see what was inside.

Nothing.

Inside the safe was absolutely nothing, but spiderwebs, and dust. Nami dropped the bombs as she couldn't believe what she had risked for, only to get nothing in return. "What is this! What are you trying to pull here!"

Once Starwolf looked into the safe, they were as shocked as Nami was. "There is nothing in here! Where is the treasure!" Leon asked angrily.

Wolf walked inside as Nami was throwing tantrum. "This is just great! We came here for nothing! Where did the treasure go!"

"P-Please, Nami, I am just as angry as you are, but let's face the facts. Those rumors of treasure being here was a little too good to be true, don't you think?" Panther asked, trying to calm down Nami, but it didn't work.

"I don't care! I wanted my treasure after having such a hard time getting here!" Nami yelled while stomping her foot down, "Ergh! I am so angry, I just want to leave this planet already!" Nami then noticed Wolf leaning on one knee as he seemed to be looking at something, "What are doing?"

"Nothing. Just trying to see if there was any trace of who took it. There doesn't seem to be anything here, though." Wolf said while getting up before putting his hand into his pocket. He then walked out of the safe with his head lowered as Nami followed him.

"Are we leaving now? If we are, then are we going to get through those things out there?" Nami asked.

"You don't need to worry about that, yet." Wolf replied without looking at her.

"What do you mean?" Nami asked. Wolf then snapped his fingers, signaling Leon to grab Nami from behind, shocking her as this also shocked Panther. "Gah! Wh-What are you doing!"

"The treasure that was here wasn't really my aim." Wolf said while facing towards Nami, and looking at her face to face, "There will be something of worth here, and that will be the great historical moment of how your captain will die!"

Nami's eyes widened in fear as Wolf turned while activating his communicator.

Meanwhile...

Back in the Great Fox's bridge, Slippy was working on a blue smartbomb, which was his jamming bomb as Usopp taking a good look at his work. "That looks a bit small? Are you sure that thing will do the trick."

"Oh, yeah! Trust me, my inventions never fail." Slippy said confidently.

"Really?" Usopp asked, "Hey, maybe we can share some ideas. I am sorta of a great inventor myself, you know? We can make something great together."

"Yeah, that would be great!" Slippy agreed, "But first, I need to finish this. Where is Krystal with my wrench?"

It was then that Chopper entered the room, holding the wrench with head lowered. "Here you go..." Chopper said while giving the wrench to Chopper.

"Thanks! Where is Krystal?" Slippy asked. Chopper looked up, trying to come up with something.

"Well, she said that she was feeling sick, so she went to her room to lay down for a while." Chopper said. Fox heard this as he looked at Chopper.

"Her head hurts? She looked fine just moments ago." Fox said.

"Um... well, it's no big deal. All she needs to do is sleep it off." Chopper said with a weak smile. Sanji knew that Chopper was hiding something, but before he could ask, ROB got infront of Fox.

"We have an incoming transmission from Titania." ROB said. The Starfox team looked confused.

"Titania?" Falco asked curiously, "Since when do we get transmissions from Tita-"

Suddenly, a holographic monitor appeared, showing Wolf in the screen. The Starfox team were shocked seeing him as the Strawhat crew didn't know who he was. "Hey there, pup. It's been awhile."

"Wolf!" Fox gasped, "What do you want!?"

"Calm down, pup, I am not here to do business with you." Wolf said while cocking his head to his left, "Besides, there is always a chance to take care of you in some other time."

Wolf then saw him; he saw Luffy right next to Fox. Luffy looked at Wolf, and instantly remembered who he was. Wolf gave a sinister glare at Luffy just as he did the same with him. Their glares were giving such an eerie aura between the two. "... Just the person I wanted to see..." Wolf said with a sinister smirk.

Luffy clenched his fists in anger upon seeing Wolf again since their last encounter in Mute City. "You're the cyclops..."
