41 Chapter 40 (1/2)

Robin was leisurely making her way towards the Palace before she got confronted by two very similar looking Baroque Works agents. They are both no more than one meter and sixty centimeters long, with short legs and arms, and have whiskers coming out of their cheeks. Their faces were thin and sharp, like a weasel.

The male agent is wearing a brown t-shirt with the number three written on it, brown shorts and sandals. He has short brown hair and small brown eyes which were looking evilly at Robin, while he was constantly rubbing his hands.

The female one is wearing a short black tank top revealing her stomach and short black shorts and sandals. She has black hair tied in a ponytail with small black eyes, and earrings with Valentine written on them.

”We heard some bad things about you, Miss All-Sunday,” The new Mr.3 said.

”That you have betrayed us.” The new Miss Valentine spoke after him.

”Boss told us that if we meet you.” The male agent said after her.

”That we can play with you, meehihihi.” The female one laughed out.

The duo transformed afterward into a weasel and mink hybrids and charged at Robin. The archeologist sighted and crossed her arms. Hands sprouted like flowers on the charging duo, hindering their attack and stopping their movement. Moments later a snap was heard.

”AGHHHH!” They screamed in pain, with their arms twisted in a weird angle, but their screams died out shortly after she choked them to unconsciousness. Robin sighted one more time and shook her head, before making her way towards the Palace.

Aisha and Chopper were intercepted by a tall and fat man, with big lips, and wearing a green shirt that covers most of his body with black pants, gray running shoes and has a giant baseball bat in his hands. Alongside a stout, middle-aged woman with red hair wearing a necktie that resembles a Christmas tree, a large pair of purple-lensed sunglasses, while also carrying a basket on her back. Following them was a bazooka with a dog head an legs.

”Welcome to molehill fourth street. You will love it here.” Before Miss Merry Christmas could say anything else, Aisha used Soru and appeared in front of her. With a kick, she sent the woman flying into a building, destroying it in the process. Aisha jumped over a cannonball that was shot from the dog-bazooka hybrid, while also dodging a swing from the Mr.4's bat in the process. Flipping in the air, she delivered an axe kick to the head of the fat man, pummelling him into the ground. The dog-bazooka was about to shoot her again, but Chopper threw a pill in his mouth, making it fall asleep.

”That was so cool!” Chopper exclaimed at Aisha, causing her to giggle.

”You were great too, Chopper.” She complimented him.

”Shut up!” Chopper said while dancing around.

”Let's go, Luffy told us to gather at the Palace after dealing with the Baroque Work agents.” Aisha smiled at him while beckoning him to continue their journey.

Ussop and Marianne entered the highest building in the capital, the clocktower.

”Are you sure your plan will work?” Ussop asked Marianne.

”Yep, trust me, I'm a realist painter. I know what I'm doing. You only have to make sure you hit them.” She answered him and handed him a couple of small yellow capsules.

”Who do you think I am? I'm Captain Ussop, the man that brought this crew together. We wouldn't have reached this far if it wasn't for me.” Ussop told her proudly.

”I'm telling Luffy what you said.” With a poker face, she responded, causing him to panic.

”No, please don't! I will do anything I promise! He will increase my torture if you do, please don't tell him!” Ussop begged her on his knees.

”Go and deal with the two at the top,” Marianne told him and sat down on the ground.

”Yes, ma'am.” He saluted her and rushed toward the top. Upon reaching there, he was met with a woman dressed in a frog attire that had a frog looking gun, and a man whose body is covered with sevens, including his eyebrows, shoes, and gun. The moment they saw him, they aimed their guns at him, but before they could shoot, Ussop hit them with the yellow capsules given to him by Marianne. Upon contact, they exploded into yellow paint covering the weird duo, causing them to laugh uncontrollably.

”It actually worked, huh,” Ussop said in surprise. He had no trouble knocking them out afterward. Looking at the cannon they were guarding, he noticed that the bomb they were preparing to shoot was on a timer.

”We are all going to die! What am I supposed to do?! I want to see Kaya again before I die.” Ussop screamed and started panicking.

”Shishishi.” Turning around he saw a clone laughing at him. Before he could say anything, the clone took the bomb and disappeared using Soru.

Sanji was fighting a relatively tall male cross-dresser wearing flamboyant ballet clothes with a swan theme. He is wearing makeup and has a giant grin on his face while looking hungrily at Sanji.

”You are such a pretty boy! Why don't you become my boyfriend?” The ballet wearing man asked Sanji while spinning in a circle.
