Kaz

"By the way I'm not sure where we are so I'm just wandering at the moment in a random direction. I know where Luffy, Robin, and Chopper are though so we can head in one of those ways if you want." I look at Zoro from the corner of my eye and I notice that he's also looking at me from the corner of his eye.

"Let's just wander for a bit." Zoro says and he takes the lead. "I get lost easily so that's the best if we want to explore right?"

"I guess lets go." I yell and raise my fist into the air following Zoro off in a random direction.

"You act so much like Luffy sometimes and how the hell aren't you cold?" Zoro says shaking his head.

"Hey I don't act that much like Luffy and I'm hot blooded." I lightly punch him in the arm in annoyance.

"Well right there at the concept of adventure you really acted like him but from what I can tell that's the only similarity between you too. Being hot blooded doesn't explain how you're warm enough in that; I wearing a thick winter coat and I'm still freezing." He says looking at me and lightly punching me back.

"Doesn't the concept of adventure get your blood boiling? I know at the concept of a fight yours does." I point out walking backwards in front of him now trying to steer him away from asking any more about how I'm warm.

"Yeah a fight really gets my blood boiling and my blood boils a bit at the idea of adventure but I usually get lost so it's not as fun." He says before suddenly he grabs my arm and pulls me closer. I feel heat rising to my checks but try to hide it. "You shouldn't be walking backwards."

"Huh?" I turn around and see a cliff behind me. "Thanks." I turn around and look down the cliff edge with Zoro. Usually I would have sensed that but it seems that I let my guard down. That isn't good; they could attack at any minute. I can't let my guard down even for a second it could cost me my life along with the crew's.

"Look at that." Zoro taps my shoulder and points at something. I follow the direction he's pointing in and see a big yellow building.

"What the hell? This has got to be the weirdest thing ever. Let's go check it out." I grab Zoro's arm and jump over the edge of the cliff.

"Hey what the hell are you doing?" He yells and I just laugh at his expression.

"Don't worry about it I'll make sure you don't injure yourself." I say.

"I'm not upset about that just tell me before you do something like that again." He yells at me and we land feet first on the ground.

"You have Luffy as a captain and you're upset about a little jump. You're a strange one." I shake my head.

"That's Luffy though; even though you're his brother I was hoping you'd be more like Ace than Luffy." Zoro starts walking towards the weird building and I follow behind.

"I guess I'm a mix between them." I shrug not caring anymore. We enter the building and just start going down random corridors. After some time Zoro opens a random door and we're greeted by a huge wave of heat.

"Man is this room ever hot." I say wiping away the bead of sweat forming on my forehead. We walk forward and see a fat man lying there on a couch in only a weird feather skirt thing.

"Hello I thought you were my son Cappuccino. You see I'm waiting for my family to show up for my party and the organizer just stepped out. Here I was saving this for the party would you like to share it with me?" He asks holding out a bottle of alcohol.

"Sure." Zoro instantly sits down and starts drinking.

"Do you mind if I steal some of that sponge cake?" I ask eyeing the delicious looking sponge cake sitting on a side table.

"You can have all of it if you want." He says waving one of his hands at it.

"Wow thank you." I give him a grateful look and grab the sponge cake along with a fork. I stay standing and start eating when a flying fish comes through the window carrying something in its mouth. The fish drops it in the man's hand and I see that it's Luffy's flag.

"What the hell are you doing with our flag you bastard?" Zoro asks as he smashes his cup to smithereens against the floor. A deadly look covered his face and he looked ready to kill. I stood there with the sponge cake in one hand and the fork resting in my mouth. Zoro should be able to handle this, even if fat guy has the Hot-Hot Fruit, I think while I take another bite out of the sponge cake. All of a sudden Zoro is sent flying past me and his sword lands near his feet.

"Need help?" I ask him and he sends me a glare.

"No I should be good." He stands up and three people burst through the door.

"We've got company." I say glaring at the two guys and girl who just burst in. The guy with the hockey stick on his back suddenly moves over to a curtain and I watch cautiously. He pulls a rope that was hidden behind the curtain and the floor opens up beneath me and Zoro.

"Hope you don't mind but I'm taking the sponge cake with me." I scream as we plummet down the hole with my sentence echoing.

"Seriously all you're thinking about is the sponge cake." Zoro yells at me as we plummet down into darkness.

"What's wrong with that?" I yell back and I notice that the sponge cake's no longer in my hand. "Where's the sponge cake?" I scream looking around.

"I can see light below us." Zoro points out and I finally found the sponge cake. It was above us a good couple of feet.

"This is gonna be fun." I say now focused on the matter at hand and I looked down at the ground below us since I know that I can just catch the cake later safely.

"Stop thinking about how to get the sponge cake and focus on figuring out what's going to happen down there." Zoro screams at me with an annoyed expression on his face.

"I am dumbass." We start throwing punches at each other until we smash into the ground below. That was actually a softer landing than I thought it'd be I thought while rubbing the back of my head.

"Ouch get off of me." Zoro grumbles and I look down in surprise to find that I landed on top of Zoro; no wonder I had a soft landing.

"Sorry." I jump up and held my hand up to help him up which he gladly accepted.

"Thanks, I'm surprised you didn't go after ..." he trails off noticing that I'm not listening anymore. I move over to a certain spot and raise my hands. The huge plate of sponge cake lands in my left hand while I catch my fork with my right. "Should have known," Zoro says shaking his head and I let out a little chuckle.

"Mm delicious," I say after taking a bite.

"What the hell?" I hear Sanji scream and I look over to see the shark sub sitting there with everyone except Luffy and Chopper in it.

"Where are we and what are you doing here?" Zoro asks them.

"WE SHOULD BE ASKING YOU THAT? And why does Kaz have sponge cake?" They ask.

"Why do all of you guys hate sponge cake?" I glare at them feeling offended.

"It's not that we hate sponge cake it's just the fact that you're calmly eating it when we're in a desperate situation." Usopp says. "I'm actually pretty fond of sponge cake myself."

"Okay anyone want the sponge cake? I don't want it anymore." I say holding the plate out with a look of disgust on my face and everyone bursts out laughing.

"You don't have to act like it's the most disgusting thing in the world just cause I like it." Usopp yells at me and I let out a chuckle.

"Don't worry I was just messing with you. There's probably nothing that could make me hate it." I say and I see tick marks appear on everyone's foreheads. "Is it just me or do guys find it a little warm?"

"KAZ; WHY THE HELL WOULD WE FIND IT WARM IN HERE? YOU CAN SEE YOU'RE BREATH AND WE'RE FREEZING WITH THESE THICK COATS ON." Everyone screamed at me and I glared at each of them.

"Whatever I'm going to go eat my sponge cake over there." I point to a spot against the wall and head over plopping down against the wall with my sponge cake with my eyes still narrowed. I don't pay attention to what they were talking about but obviously Zoro said something to tick off Sanji because they were fighting now.

"It's good to see you're all energetic." I hear Robin say.

"Hey Robin!" Everyone except me and Zoro screams.

"Bring me more sponge cake if you can and some cola to drink as well." I yell at her and I see everyone stare at me in disbelief. "What I'm hungry?" I shrug eating another piece of sponge cake.

"What the hell?" They scream at me and Robin burst out laughing.

"I know you were going to be an interesting person. I'll see what I can do." Robin says still laughing. I spot a head of dark blue hair looking over the rim of the cage and I let out a hiss of annoyance. The girl's eyes widen when she spots me and I hear her let out a little gasp.

"Is it possible?" She whispers and I glare at her. I see her shrink back and she slowly backs away from the rim. "Big Sister Robin we should be going now." I hear her say and I sense some fear in her voice.

"Hey Lillian; do you think we could fill the request that was made?" Robin asks Lillian while they walk away. I do a little probing and determine that she isn't a threat now or in the future.

"She was our only way of escaping. Why did you go and say that? If we get out of here you're staying right here." Nami yells at me.

"One of the bounty hunters was with her and if you want to leave me here you can but that doesn't mean I'll actually be staying." I say. A couple seconds later some weird guy opens the door and throws in a bag saying its complements from Lady Lillian's new partner Robin. I catch the bag and pull out the sponge cake located inside.

"Here Franky, gift from Robin." I throw three bottles of cola his way and start eating the new sponge cake since I just finished the other one.

"Super job Robin," Franky says and switches out the bottles. "Now I can get us out of here." Franky blasts the metal roof off the cage and prepares a Co De Vent to shoot us out of the cage.

"Kaz you're staying. I'm still not happy with you." Nami says glaring at me while everyone else grabs onto Franky.

"Yeah yeah I'll see you guys back on the ship." I say before taking another bite of sponge cake.

"Let's go Franky." Nami shouts at Franky as he prepares a Co De Boom. I watch as Franky blasts them out of there and they disappear out of sight. I finish off my sponge cake and gently place the plate down beside me. Standing up I dust off my pants and look up towards the entrance to this cage. Let's see it should be easy to get out of here. I do some quick stretching exercises before walking over to the wall. I place my hand on the wall to get an idea of what I'm dealing with texture wise. Let's see it is some black ice that curves inward about halfway up. I let out a sigh and back up to the other side of the cage before running at the wall in front of me. I run up the wall using part of my curse to keep my feet attached to the wall and just before I reach the top I push off the wall. The force I applied propels me through the opening and I effortlessly land on the steel rim around the cage's opening.
