Sanji and Franky slowly made their way to the front cart, fighting off Marines as they moved. Sanji spun through the crowd with flaming kicks while Franky fired blasts from his arms.
"Man, this is taking forever," Franky complained, punching a Marine through a window.
"Quit whining and keep moving," Sanji said, lighting a cigarette mid-fight.
Meanwhile, Usopp—no, Sniper King—pressed his back against a wall, thinking hard.
"Okay… okay… I need a plan to save Robin. Something smart. Something heroic. Something totally impossible but somehow will work because that's how my life is."
He snapped his fingers.
"Yes! Operation Smoke Bomb Save the Girl Because I'm Awesome!"
Franky stared at him. "…That name sucks."
"It still works!" Sniper King said dramatically.
They finally reached the front cart.
Sanji opened the door.
The CP9 agents instantly turned their heads.
Blueno stood up calmly. "I'll deal with them."
Sniper King immediately threw a smoke bomb.
POOF!
"FEAR NOT! FOR I—THE GREAT SNIPER KING—HAVE ARRIVED!"
He ran blindly through the smoke and somehow grabbed Robin by the arm.
"I GOT HER! RUN!"
Sanji blinked. "You can't even see where you're going"
Blueno suddenly appeared right in front of them.
Blueno kick Sanji so hard he crashed into the wall of the pervious cart.
Blueno grabbed Sniper King.
"W-Wait! Not the cape!"
Blueno tossed him back into the previous cart.
Franky charged, but Blueno used his Door door ability, creating doors around Franky and trapping him in a pocket space.
Blueno then reached for the lever—
CLACK.
He detached the front cart from the one Sanji and Sniper King were on.
Sanji groaned, sitting up. "Damn it…"
Sniper King got up and looked around only to see nothing but ocean.
"We're… stranded…"
He paused.
Then screamed.
"WE'RE GONNA DIIIEEEE—!!!"
Sanji smacked him in the head. "Calm down, idiot."
Suddenly, a bright light ahead pierced the fog.
"ROBIN!" a voice shouted.
Sanji grinned. "Looks like Luffy's here."
A few minutes later, they were safely aboard the Puffing Tom.
Chopper pointed at the masked man. "Um… who are you?"
Sniper King puffed his chest.
"I am Sniper King! I come from the land of snipers!"
"WOOOAH!" Chopper sparkled.
Luffy gasped. "Sniper King! Teach us the sniper dance!"
"What dance? W-Wait"
The three of them ended up doing the stupidest dance ever.
Everyone burst out laughing.
Sanji walked toward0 Noah and Emma.
"Good to see you two again," he said.
He eyed Emma. "And it seems you've gotten even more gorgeous."
Emma sighed. "Sanji, stop."
"So, anything on our enemies?" Noah asked.
Sanji exhaled smoke. "Nothing, to be honest."
Nami stretched. "We won't reach Enies Lobby until morning. Let's all get some rest."
Everyone agreed.
Emma leaned her head on Noah's shoulder and fell asleep.
Nami hugged Chopper like a plush toy.
Zoro was already sleeping.
Luffy laid back against a bag and started snoring instantly.
Sanji and the others stayed awake incase anything happened.
The Next Morning.
A voice called out, "We're almost there!"
Noah opened his eyes.
Paulie leaned in. "Morning, sunshine."
Noah nudged Emma. "Wake up, sleepy head."
"Mmm… five more minutes…" she mumbled.
The train speakers came on.
"We've reached Enies Lobby, the island that floats above nothing," Kokoro announced.
Everyone rushed to the windows.
The island gleamed like pure marble, surrounded by waterfalls that endlessly poured into an endless drop.
Huge white buildings lined the island like a giant courthouse city.
The Gate of Justice loomed in the background.
The sun shined directly above the island, making it look bright, holy, and terrifying at the same time.
"Okay, so how do we get on the island?" someone asked.
Granny Kokoro snorted. "I don't know, ahohohoho!"
Sniper King and Chopper instantly panicked.
"We're gonna diiiiieee!" they wailed together.
Noah stepped forward.
"Leave that to me."
He held out his hand. "I need something to throw."
Sanji handed him an orange. "Here."
One of the square-headed sisters asked, "What's he going to do with that…?"
"Just watch," Nami said confidently.
Noah threw the orange with so much force it smashed into a building on the island and rolled away.
"Everyone hold onto the sea train and don't let go!" Noah warned, placing a hand on the wall.
NOAH — [This is going to take a lot of energy.]
Vector Manipulation — Flying Thunder God!
BLIP!
Meanwhile On Enies Lobby.
"You want mayo or—"
CRAAASH!!!
The sea train appeared from thin air and slammed into a building.
The Marines froze.
"What just happened?!" One asked.
"I DON'T KNOW!" Another yelled.
Noah and Luffy stepped out.
The Marines recognized Luffy instantly.
"S-Straw Hat! Warn the main office!" one of the Marine shouted.
Luffy cracked his knuckles.
"Gum-Gum… GATLING!!"
The Marines fell one by one.
"You look ready," Noah said.
Luffy grinned. "I'm going ahead!" Then dashed off.
Emma and the others stepped out.
"Where's Luffy?" Nami asked.
Noah pointed. Luffy was already far ahead, running toward the main entrance like a lunatic.
"We need to stick together!" Nami hissed.
"I think we should split up," Noah replied. "We'll cover more ground. Come on, Emma."
Emma nodded, and the two of them rushed off after Luffy.
