Kaz

I let out another growl but this time out of annoyance. I walked over to the edge of the floating island I'm on and I spot a village beneath me. There's a village here? I try to figure out an easy way to get down to the village when I hear noises coming from behind me. I turn around to see every single animal that was located on this island standing there a good few feet away from me. They were staring at me intently and I glare back at them when they suddenly do something I didn't expect. Each and every one lowered their heads to bow to me. I stood in shock blinking multiple times before finally clearing my throat and speaking.

"I have no fucking clue what you're doing but I need to get down to the village below and I have clue how to do that." I say and a small white mouse thing makes its way forward. Its mouth was filled with razor sharp teeth and it had ears kinda like a cat's while its tail was similar to a rats but on a bigger scale. The mouse stops beside me and points down to the village and I nod.

"Yeah that's where I need to go." I say and the mouse moves behind me. "What are you doing?" I ask cautiously and the mouse shoves me with all its strength which is somehow strong enough to push me over the edge of the island. I look at the mouse and blink. I look down to where there used to be ground but now there was only air and the village that was a pretty far distance down. I look between the mouse and underneath me until I feel the effect of gravity slowly taking over.

"I'M GONNA FUCKING KILL YOU FOR THIS DAMN MOUSE THINGY." I scream while using my curse to make it understand and to hear its response.

"Sorry it's the only way you'd be able to get down there and we're unable to get close to the village because of the smell of the Daft Greens." The mouse squeaked out and I nodded in understanding before realizing something.

"YOU COULD'VE TOLD ME WHAT YOU WERE GONNA DO ASSHOLE MOUSE." I scream back and flip around so I was facing the ground. I tuck my arms into my sides and increase my speed. As I get closer I can distinguish some figures that are sitting on some steps that lead up to a house. By the looks of it the figures are actually Sanji, Usopp, Zoro, Chopper, Luffy, and a yellow bird. I flip around just before I reach the ground and land softly but a huge dust cloud still kicks up.

"What was that?" I hear a voice say that's high pitched. It sounds like a little girl's voice.

"Huh? Maybe something fell from above like a rock." I hear Usopp say and I roll my eyes.

"But the only island above this one is a good couple hundred feet up." The little girl says and I side step to avoid Luffy. When Luffy was right in front of me I kick him right into the ground and rub his face into it for extra measure.

"I'm not in the damn mood for that unless you want me to break every single bone in your body." I say as I take my foot off Luffy's head and the dust cloud finally settles down.

"Kaz you really need to stop dropping in." Zoro says shaking his head.

"What'd you expect from Luffy's brother?" Sanji says and Chopper gives me a quick check over to determine if I broke anything.

"Yeah whatever; I wasn't originally going to drop in but that damn mouse thing pushed me off the edge." I say with annoyance lacing my voice.

"Mouse thing? You mean one of those animals that were really violent and strong?" Chopper says and I think for a second.

"Yeah I guess." I say.

"You guess? It's either a yes or a no." Usopp says and I shrug.

"I didn't have a problem with them." I say.

"Yeah because you probably scared the shit out of them and they ran away crying." Luffy mutters but we all hear him.

"Geez idiot there's no way something like that would happen. It's one hundred percent impossible." Sanji says and I sit down with my back propped up against the railing as I watch them talk.

"It's Kaz we're talking about here. The word impossible doesn't apply with him." Luffy says and I roll my eyes at him. I notice the little girl who has pinkish red hair was staring at me and I give her a little nod. She returns the nod before running into the house and I narrow my eyes as I sense something. I stand up and start walking towards the edge of the village where I sense Shiki is approaching from. I crack my knuckles and stop once I reach the edge of the town. I do a quick stretch and cross my arms as I wait for Shiki to show up.

"He'll show up here?" Luffy asks me as he walks up beside me and I nod. My eyes never leave the sky where I sense him approaching fast. I sense the others take places on either sides of me and Luffy. Zoro stood to my right and then next was Chopper. On the left side of Luffy was Sanji then Usopp.

"He's here." I say and a second later Shiki lands on a configuration of rocks that's located in front of us. I stare him down and all my anger seems to well up again. I sense Nami coming as well and I ignore her to focus on Shiki.

"There's my baby cakes." Shiki says smiling. "That was cold baby cakes, leaving the palace without saying anything. I was hurt."

"Shut up damn bastard. You tricked us and abducted Nami-san." Sanji growls out.

"You can't expect me not to take away such an amazing woman." Shiki says emphasising the not. "Protect her well if you don't want to lose her but then again I think she's the one who doesn't want to leave me now. I also believe that not all of you were tricked which was actually a surprise for me." Shiki says as he looks at me which I respond with the middle finger.

"Fuck off Shiki." I say and I see a smile make its way onto his face again.

"First I'll be taking that woman." Shiki says.

"You bastard." Sanji says.

"Hey Wheelie; don't think you can steal my crew member and get away scot-free." Luffy says and I can sense that's he's angry.

"Oh? What do you plan to do?" Shiki say.

"Break you in half." Luffy says before rushing forward and the crew follows behind him. I summon my daggers and stay back as I decide to leave this fight to them unless they need my help. Luffy pushes himself off the ground and goes flying towards Shiki. He grabs the rock underneath Shiki and attacks Shiki with a Gum-Gum Sickle but Shiki easily dodges it. Next Usopp uses a Fire Bird Star which Shiki again dodges and Zoro attacks next with a Seventy-two Pound Phoenix. Shiki counters it with his swords while Chopper sneaks up behind him and he manages to hit Shiki with a Cloven Roseo Metel. As Shiki slowly falls forward Sanji charges at Shiki before using a Poitrine Shoot which Shiki catches with his right hand.

"You're a pretty good team. I'm impressed you made me use my hands but once I use my hands, I'm not gonna draw them back." Shiki says and he pushes Sanji away. Shiki gets ready to kill Sanji but Luffy knocks Shiki flying along with Sanji. They land softly on the ground and the crew walks over to them. I stay back near Nami twirling my daggers since I was getting bored. Shiki starts talking but I ignore him and turn towards Nami.

"So where were you hiding when I showed up?" I ask her and she looks over at me in surprise before looking back at Shiki.

"I was in the house. I was wondering who Xiao was talking about when she said someone came crashing down but now I guess I can assume it was you." Nami says and I give her a smile before quickly getting into a fighting stance a couple of steps in front of Nami since Shiki's raising his hand for some reason. I have a bad feeling about this. Shiki raises his hand and the ground surrounding us rises up. I smash the rock wall that now separated me and Nami with my fist. Shiki closes his fist and the rocks come to life. I back up to join the circle the crew had made and stared at the rock lions trying to figure out what I was going to do.

"Gum-Gum Cannon;" Luffy yells as he destroys one of the lion heads. Zoro and Sanji get ready to do a combo attack while Usopp distracts Shiki with an Atlas Comet. Zoro approaches Shiki at an accelerated rate thanks to Sanji's kick. Shiki dodges Usopp's shot and blocks Zoro's attack before punching Zoro back down to the ground. I rush over to where Zoro get smashed into the ground and I just reach him when all of the ground smashes down on top of up. The ground circles around us and I watch as the others were swallowed up. I was totally gonna kick Shiki's ass when I got out of here. I used my curse to move effortlessly through the rock and I pulled my toque off. My red hair fell down as I walked out of the rock cluster and I marched forward with a purpose. I look back at the other five before turning back around and jumping up through the air. I can sense Robin and Brook making their way here pretty fast so I can assume Franky's with them as well. I used the air to propel myself up to the island I was on before and when I landed I let out a loud whistle. A couple of seconds later all the animals on the island appeared in front of me and they looked at me curiously.

"What do you want?" The mouse thing before thought and thankful to my curse I can understand it.

"You hate Shiki right?" I ask them as I crossed my arms across my chest and they nodded in response.

"Yeah; why do you ask?" A huge snake hisses out.

"Well I'm planning on taking him down and I wanted to know if you're in or not. If you're in I'll deal with the Daft Greens for you." I say and a loud chorus of let's do this echoed through my head. "Okay let's head up to the island then." I say as I lift my hand and the island follows suit. I turned around to watch all the other islands float past at a fast pace as we ascended towards the main island.

"You guys need to know something as well." I say not bothering to turn around. "If you harm any of these people I will kill you." I say projecting an image into each of the animals' mind and they quickly respond with a yes ma'am. The island reaches the main island and I can see Shiki's palace in the distance. I gesture for us to go and we head out. The mouse thing shows up riding on the back of the flower tiger and he squeaks at me. I roll my eyes and climb on top before we take off at an incredibly fast pace. In no time flat we're located a couple of feet from the Daft Greens. I slide off the tiger and pat him on the side before marching into the Daft Greens. I spot something off to the side and turn my attention to it.
