Igarappoi took out his saxophone, and a spray of bullets flew out as he played it. After jumping to the next building, Mawgona was hit in the shoulder with Mr. 9's metal bat.

(Oh, and Wednesday brought out this giant duck called Carue.)

(Yeah. They don't do much, so let's skip them.)

(Mawgona)"Argh, nearly broke something! I should probably improve my Observation Haki when I get the chance to."

(Mr. 9)"I was a little worried that my bats wouldn't work against you, but it seems like you haven't truly mastered your Devil Fruit!"

(Mawgona)"That may be, but I clearly have more than enough strength and endurance to take you all on by myself!"

This was demonstrated by Mawgona picking up 9 with his giant metal arms, and promptly throwing him off the roof. He then dodged another spray of bullets from Igarappoi by cutting a hole and falling into the house.

(Igarappoi)"This man, he's killed most of the Bounty Hunters already, and he took Miss Monday out of commission in mere seconds! If we don't figure out something quick, we'll all be added to his body count!"

9 rose from the rubble, his clothes torn and dirty. His left bat then fired an iron wire that wrapped around Mawgona's arm.

(Mawgona)"I guess there's more to you bunch than meets the eye."

(Miss Wednesday)"It ends here, Metal Man! Take another step, and your little friend's life is forfeit!"

She held a blade to Bui Bui's neck...wherever that is... But needless to say, Dark Soul looked to be in quite a bind indeed. Igarappoi, now on a roof, prepared an array of guns from underneath his hair.

(Mawgona)"I haven't been in this kind of trouble in a long time, hope I remember how to do THAT technique..."

(Igarappoi)"This ends now, Igarapapa!"

Pulling his tie, the guns fired 6 bullets. But before they could reach, Mawgona used his inhuman strength to swing Mr. 9 into the incoming fire. Then, what looked to be two carbon copies of the pink skined man knocked out the remaining agents, before immediately disappearing.

While Igarappoi was preparing his final attack, Mawgona had turned the heel of his left foot into metal, then branched them off in two directions underground. The metal then took on his appearance, before ending the squabble.

(Bui Bui)"Uh, what's with all the racket? I'm trying to-Holy hell, what happened here!?"

(Mawgona)"This entire town was just a setup for these Bounty Hunters to turn us all in, so I made quick work of them."

(Bui Bui)"Oh, I knew it was too good to be true. And I was born in these seas!"

(???)"Geez, these guys are worse than I thought."

Out of nowhere, a man with the number 5 on his coat,and a woman with lemon attire made their existence known to the Pirates.

(Mr. 5)

(Miss Valentine)

(Mawgona)"Who are you? Members of Baroque Works, I assume?"

(Mr. 5)"That's right, but don't think we came here specifically for you. Our business is with them."

(Igarappoi)"J-Just what do you mean?"

(Mr. 5)"The Boss has recently discovered s traitor in our organization, which just so happens to be from a certain kingdom."

(Mr. 9)"Hey, I know I wear this crown, but I'm not actually a King of anything!"

(Mr. 5)"No, not you. I'm talking about a princess, a princess from the Alabasta Kingdom...Nefertari Vivi!"

Igarappoi rose to his feet and opened fire on his supposed allies. However, it didn't seem to do any damage, as 5 used some strange green explosive to blow 8 away. 9 tried to attack as well, but his attempt was even worse. Seeing that she had no chance of winning, this "Vivi" ran off.

(Bui Bui)"Whoa! That guy must have some strong Devil Fruit to do that much by himself!"

(Mawgona)"It doesn't really matter anymore, let's get the others and l-"

(Igarappoi)"W-Wait! I know how dangerous you are, but I beg of you! Please protect the princess in my stead! The entire country of Alabasta depends on her safety! If you do this, then I'm sure that you'll be greatly rewarded!"

(Nami)"Rewarded, huh? Then make it a billion Beli!"

(Mawgona)"Oh, you're awake, too."

(Igarappoi)"A-A billion!?"

(Nami)"She a princess, so she's got to have mountains of gold or something, right?"

(Igarappoi)"I'm not sure, so you'll have to discuss it with her!"

(Mawgona)"...Yeah, we'll do it. Just lay right there."

(Meanwhile)

(Vivi)"Run faster, Carue! They're right behind us!"

(Mr. 5) There's no chance of escape, Fancy Nose Cannon!""

He proceeded to pick his nose, then flung a booger straight at the princess. But to everyone's surprise, a bullet intercepted the mucus ball, and it exploded.

(Nix)"Can't a guy get some shut-eye around here!? What even was that? An explosive booger ball?"

(Mr. 5)"If you insist on knowing, I have consumed the Bomb-Bomb Fruit, which let's any part, or anything from my body turn into a bomb."

(Nix)"So that means that our Devil Fruits are similar, Bomb vs. Bomb! I wouldn't have it any other way!"

He loaded his special guns with two bombs, then when he shot them at 5, they exploded into a mass of shurikens, with a few hitting the agent's arm while dodging.

(Nix)"After all that food I ate, I was able to make stronger bombs! That one's my Pow-Pow Shuriken!"

(Mr. 5)"Argh! D-Did you forget that I said even things from my body can be explosive?!"

He threw his own blood at the gunman, which made a decently sized explosion upon impact. This however, only put some soot on Nix's shirt. He took out his rifle, then placed a much smaller bomb inside.

(Nix)"This rifle is modified to use pressurized air, which works well for my ability!"

To 5's confusion, Nix fired at some house, which then ricochet off of a mailbox, then a wind chime, then finally the other Explosive Human's back. With a horrid sound, 5's spine was blown to pieces.

(Me. 5)"AHHH!!! I...I can't move!"

(Nix)"I don't know who you are, but that special round just paralyzed ya from the neck down for life! Even if you get medical attention now, nothing's gonna fix a missing spinal cord!"

(Miss Valentine)"M-Mr. 5...taken out so easily...I need to get out of here!"

(Her Devil Fruit makes her light or heavier, not really good, like at all.)

She leaped high into the air, higher than the average Human, and began to float away as fast as her umbrella. Just then, Mawgona and Bui Bui had arrived to finish it.

(Bui Bui)"Oh no you don't, Jump Man!"

His entire body became tall and lanky, as he jumped higher than she did. He then turned into Buff Man, and smacked her straight through the ground, leaving only her feet above like a rooted vegetable.

(Nix)"Huh, this was really anticlimactic."

(Mawgona)"Doesn't matter, they're out of the way for good now."

(Vivi)"Why? Why did you save me? You went freaking ballistic on those other guys a few minutes ago!"

(Mawgona)"It's different now, you where with them for a reason, not just for wealth or something like that."

(Vivi)"That's right...it's about Alabasta. You see, it used to be a peaceful country, but now rebellions are popping up all over the place. I knew that Baroque Works had something to do with it, and I joined them with a fake identity in order to find the leader of this organization. I actually know his name."

(Mawgona)"Well now that all this has happened, looks like this man will send more or his agents after us, so this is what we'll need to do. With everything I am capable of, I'll take on the boss of Baroque Works, no matter where he is."

(Nix)"What about this princess?"

(Mawgona)"We'll be taking her to this Alabasta, I believe that this guy operates there."

Out of nowhere, a drunken Pepin, along with the Shadow Pirates, arrived on the scene.

(Pepin)"Wh-What was that...? We're going to Alabama next? I don't remember seeing that place on the map..."

(Terry)"I-I-I don't....I don't think that's how you say it..."

(Barry)"If I had a mouth, I'd puke muh guts out!"

*They all pass out once more.*

(Vivi)"Do I REALLY have to work with these guys...?"

(Later, on the ship)

(Bui Bui)"I hope that Igarappoi guy is okay, still can't believe he disguised himself as you and went off to Alabasta."

(Vivi)"I've known him for a long time, he'll be fine...I hope."

(Zant)"What I can't believe, is that Captain over here didn't wake me up to join in the fun. I'm itching to test these blades out!"

(Mawgona)"Relax, we're bound to run into some tougher opponents in these waters."

(???)"That is, if you can live long enough..."

On the upper level of the Iron Maiden, a tall woman with a purple cowboy hat sat on the railing.

(Vivi)"I-It's her, Baroque Works' Second in Command, Miss All-Sunday!"

(Nix)*Both revolvers in hand* "If so, then I'm not taking a risk! I'll fire so much lead into her face, that it'll weigh her down into the ocean! They won't even be able to find her bloated cor-and now my guns are all up there with her...shit."

(Bui Bui)"Wait-What?! She didn't even move, how'd she do that!?"

(M.A.S)"Hm...so you're the Captain of this little crew, Dark Soul Mawgona..."

Although she didn't seem bothered, a portion of the railing morphed into an iron collar, and immediately clamped onto her neck, so if Mawgona decided to at any moment, he could kill her in mere seconds.

(Mawgona)"I don't know what Devil Fruit ability you have, but just know this. Fighting me on the metal I create will drastically reduce your chance of winning by 100%..."

(M.A.S)"That's rude, I just wished to talk for a minute."

(Terry)"Then choose your next words carefully, or they may be your last!"

(M.A.S)"I'll just get to the point then. The man you are looking for is in fact somewhere in Alabasta, his name is Crocodile. Even if I wanted to kill you, the route to the country of sand is already dangerous enough that many can't even get past Little Garden, the second island on this path."

(Barry)"Mawgona here's been through shit that would normally kill a thousand men, but look at him, lady! Taken on hundreds of Marines and Pirates, and he's still standing!"

She tossed a wooden object in Mawgona's direction, and he caught it without breaking eye contact.

(Mawgona)"What is this?"

(M.A.S)"That's an Eternal Pose. It's similar to the Log Pose, but that one permanently points towards Alabasta. With it, you won't run into Baroque Works, you have my word on that."

(Mawgona)"...I don't know whether to trust you, but the safest path is one that I'd rather take. I'll let you be for now, but keep this in mind. If you're lying to me, I will personally hunt you down to the ends of the world, and end your life without a second thought...do you understand?"

(M.A.S)"Oh my, that's quite the threat, I like that about you~ But like I said, you have my word. If you make it to Alabasta, let's meet up again."

(Mawgona)"I too believe our paths will cross again soon, now get out of my sight before I change my mind..."

After releasing her, All-Sunday went off into the ocean atop a giant sea turtle.

(Mawgona)"That woman...she's an odd one indeed..."

(Nix)"...Why a collar of all things, though? Didn't know you were into some kinky shit."

(Mawgona)"..."
