Rescue Panz Fry!

The Woman who can't Miss?

Sea

A large armada of Navy Battle Ships, sail across the sea. Trailing behind the ships is a massive figure with his head covered. He sits on a large wooden raff since there is no ship large enough to carry him. Standing at the bow of the lead ship, is a man with a dark red Mohawk and a mustache. He wears the standard marine uniform, consisting of a purple and white pinstripe suit with a coat draped over his shoulders, like Kizaru. Underneath his coat lies a dark blue shirt and a light blue tie. He is of average height and very well-built. He carries around his weapon of choice, a katana, either attached to his right hip or on his shoulder. This man is Vice Admiral Momonga. Standing beside Momonga is former Captain Isuka.

Since her run in with the Demon Pirates, Isuka turned in the evidence about G-9's methods and hobbies. Like Ain had told her, the World Government told her they would investigate the 80th branch of Marines but nothing was found. Isuka was isolated, vulnerable, before she was finally demoted to Ensign. However, Isuka did not give up and vowed to find more evidence against G-9. Momonga, admiring her determination despite her demotion, took her under his wing. Isuka carries a jitte but hers is a blade with its edge made from sea-stone.

"Vice Admiral, I do not like this." States Isuka, speaking from her past run in with the Demon Pirates. Isuka looks to her idle and Vice Admiral with a smile. Momonga is often seen with a serious expression but Isuka knows he is listening to her.

"Vice Admiral." Sighs Isuka with a nervous chuckle. Vice Admiral Momonga nods his head at Isuka's statement.

"We have no choice." Sighs Momonga with narrowed eyes, "The prisoner must be taken to Impel Down."

"Still, following our current path will undoubtedly lead us right into the Demon Pirates." States Isuka with folded arms. Isuka looks down at the mention of the Demon Pirates and old friend Ain. Regardless if she was right, Isuka will bring Ain to justice.

"Yeah…" Says Momonga while gripping his sword, "This could mean trouble."

"Hah!" Laughs a voice, making Isuka turn to look behind her. Walking up to the three is a large, dark-skinned man from the Longarm Tribe with a bulky build. He has a black topknot hairstyle, blue eyes with furry eyebrows, beard and long nose hair that resemble mustaches. He wears dark red armguards and a red and yellow chestplate with a white emblem on it. This man is Lieutenant Shuzo formerly a pupil of Zephyr, "Don't tell me the Demoted Captain and a Vice Admiral is afraid of some weak pirates?!" Isuka turns and narrows her eyes.

"How rude, Vice Admiral Momonga is not afraid of anyone!" Defends Isuka, making Shuzo turn to her. Her smirks and laughs at Isuka who growls with barely controlled anger.

"Isuka, stop it." Commands Momonga without turning to look back at his subordinate. Isuka stands and turns before bowing her head to Momonga.

"Hai!" Obeys Isuka.

"I heard Ain is now a part of that pirate crew, I always knew that woman was trouble." States Shuzo with a laugh. Isuka shakes in barely controlled rage at the man's taunts.

"Is there something you need, Lieutenant?" Asks Momonga, getting irritated at the man's laughs.

"I'm ready for my part." States Shuzo making Momonga nod his head before looking back to the sea. Momonga can only hope that the Demon Pirates, won't interfere. It is not fear that makes him wary, it is simply intelligence. It will be even more difficult to make their way to Impel Down with the Demon Pirates in the mix.

Aboard the Leviathan

The Leviathan calmly sails amidst a current before the shout of the crew, lifts the ship in the air. On the deck of the ship, the crew sits around Lily who rubs her head bashfully. Shisui is taken by surprise that this girl is the daughter of Panz Fry. He's not the only one as the whole crew can't seem to believe it.

"So, you have grown up tasting his food!" Exclaims a young pirate boy with stars in his eyes. Lily turns to him with the same stars in her eyes and smiles.

"That's right, Heaven Food!" Exclaims Lily with drool running down her mouth. The crew suddenly get the same starry look in their eyes at the prospect of eating such food.

"Heaven Food, Banzai!" Cry all the pirates with the exception of Ain, Okiku and Shisui. Lily laughs at the cry before blinking.

"Wait!" Shouts Lily with her head growing again, "This isn't the time!"

"You were the one who started it." Reminds Shisui with a sweat drop. Ain holds her chin between her fingers with a thoughtful expression.

"I've also heard of Panz Fry." Says Ain, making the crew turn to her.

"I believe he is a pirate who steals food from the Government, the Navy and other pirates and gives it to starving people, bringing them great joy." Ann and several pirates suddenly look to Lily with wide eyes.

"So he's… a hero?!" Exclaims the group of pirates with starry eyes, making Lily blush bashfully.

"So, explain what the problem is." Says Shisui with a sweat drop at his crew's habit of getting off topic.

"I was always with Daddy when he was traveling around the world feeding the starving people but he suddenly disappeared two weeks ago and I haven't heard from him since." Reveals Lily, making the crew nod their heads. Without a doubt, the Navy got him.

"Believing that the Navy got him, I went to several different islands to gather information on his possible whereabouts and found out that Daddy's being sent to Impel Down." States Lily with a saddened look. Shisui lifts his head at the mention of the notorious prison.

"Impel Down?" Repeats several pirates with confusion.

"Impel Down, also known as the Underwater Prison or the Great Prison, is a government-controlled stronghold in Paradise together with Marine Headquarters and Enies Lobby." Reveals Shisui with narrowed eyes, "It is the World Government's maximum-security prison for the most dangerous criminals and pirates." Ain nods to his words before pacing on the deck.

"It is located underwater in the middle of the Calm Belt, making it nearly impossible to break into or out of." Adds Ain.

"B-But Lily-chan, why would they take him there?!" Exclaims a pirate with confusion, "Isn't he a hero?!"

"To the common people, sure but to the Navy and World Government who he has stolen from, no." States Okiku with Ain nodding to her words.

"Daddy's bounty is over three million." Reveals Lily with a sad expression, "He didn't even know that while he stole food to feed people, his bounty kept growing."

"I finally made it out here, only to be caught into a fight between the Navy and pirates." Laments Lily with a sad sigh, "But at least I was saved from drowning by you guys." By now, the crew are shedding tears over the story, making Shisui sigh and shake his head.

"But still, Impel Down of all places… that seems harsh." States Ain with a thoughtful expression.

"Humph, it's just the Navy abusing its power, nothing new at all." Mutters Shisui with folded arms.

"But, I'm not going to Impel Down." Reveals Lily with a smile of determination.

"What about your dad?!" Cries Buccaneer with watery eyes, making Ain giggle sheepishly.

"The ship that will be carrying Daddy, will have to come through here!" States Lily while slamming her trident down. The crew suddenly get demonic looks on their faces while smiling.

"Meaning…, the Navy is headed this way." Sums up Buccaneer with a smile. Ain looks over her map and spots a small island not too far from their current position. Ain then looks up and feels the air on her face.

"Captain!" Shouts the crew with their heads down on the deck, making Shisui look to them, "We humbly ask that you help Lily-chan." Lily blinks in shock at their willingness to help.

"Why?" Asks Shisui, pressing the matter.

"So she can… become our cook!" Shouts the pirates, making Shisui sweat drop. Lily looks on with surprise before awaiting Shisui's answer. The whole deck becomes quiet as Shisui sits with his eyes closed.

"Fools." States Shisui, making the pirates deflate before Shisui opens his eyes, "I was going to help anyways." The crew smiles before cheering as Okiku nods with a small smile while Ain smiles softly.

"Captain, there is an island that the Navy will have to stop at to get out of the coming storm." Reveals Ain, making the crew look up at the clear skies. They don't question Ain as she has proven time and again, that her skills in Navigation are top notch.

"Very well, let's get to it." States Shisui, making the crew cheer and Lily to shed a tear with a smile.

"Thank you, everyone." Cries Lily. Suddenly one of the Transponder Snails goes off. Since this was formerly a Navy Ship, the pirates thought that this snail could come in handy, picking up Navy transmissions. Ain picks up the Snail and does not speak.

"…Let me speak with him." States Momonga, making Ain widen her eyes. Ain looks to Shisui whose eyes are shadowed before he sticks out his hand. Ain gives the receiver to Shisui who holds it to his ear.

"Speak, marine." States Shisui coldly.

"Koujiro D. Shisui, it is not my desire to battle you at the moment as I have my hands full with something else." States Momonga, making Shisui nod his head, "That is the only reason we are speaking."

"I ask that you evade the Navy Transport and leave us to our current job." Says Momonga, making Shisui raise a brow, "If you don't, the resulting conflict will be on you." Shisui remains silent for a while as his crew looks to him.

"Fine." States Shisui, making the crew widen their eyes and Lily to put her head down, "I'll evade your transport after you hand over Panz Fry."

"…You know I can't do that." States Momonga after a sigh.

"Then we have nothing to talk about." States Shisui as he leans back, "It's nothing personal but I have a new friend who wants Panz Fry free." Ain narrows her eyes at a familiar sound she has heard before.

"I see… then I will bring you down." States Momonga with conviction.

"Many have died trying." Says Shisui in a dark tone. Ain steps forward, making Shisui turn to her.

"I know you're there." States Ain with a stoic tone. On the other side of the transponder snail, Shuzo clenches his fists at the voice of Ain.

"You're there, right, Shuzo?" Calls Ain, making Shuzo smirk and step forward while Isuka looks on with Hina.

"It's been some time, Ain." States Shuzo while Ain simply stares at the transponder snail.

"How'd you know?" Asks Shuzo.

"I heard your pet in the background." States Ain while Alpacacino tilts its head before narrowing its eyes.

"Hard to believe they let you back into the Navy after all you've done." Says Ain with a sigh, "It only proves how corrupt the World Government and the Navy are."

"Still living in the past, little girl?" Questions Shuzo.

"No, I've grown up unlike my former subordinate." States Ain, making Shuzo growl.

"Zephyr-sensei would not approve of your actions, Ain." States Shuzo with a smirk. Ain does not fall to his taunt and sighs sadly.

"The fact that you think that is precisely why I was closer to him than you were." States Ain, making Shuzo growl loudly.

"Well I am not on the wrong side of the law, am I?!" Demands Shuzo, making Ain sigh again.

"You haven't changed, Shuzo." States Ain before looking to the sky, "I'll see you real soon." Shisui hangs up on the Navy and Ain sighs. Dark clouds begin to gather in the skies above before rain pours down, proving Ain's prediction to be true.

Tombstone Island

Like many of the Islands in West Blue, this one is a lawless place. A Volcano sits behind the small town the island was named after. Fights usually end with people dead and buried without a proper tombstone. Ironic given the name of the island. The town located near the shore is filled with Casino's and brothels to make money. The place looks more like the Wild West. People go about their daily lives while laughing and the occasional gun shoots ring out. However, the people seem unfazed by them, perhaps due to how frequent they happen. If there was an enforcer of law around here, it would be someone the people elected themselves.

In a large Casino, at a certain table filled with money, coins, and other valuables, sits 4 figures. Each figure has a hat on their head. One such figure is a young woman with long, straight green hair that reaches down to her lower back, and a set of long bangs framing her face. She has brownish purple eyes, large breasts, and wears red lipstick. She has sharp facial features and a curvy body. She wears an open vest, exposing her large breast which are held in a bikini top. She wears a dark colored skirt adorned by a series of light strips hanging down from it in the middle part covers her lower body, whilst a pair of high-heeled cowgirl boots decorated by matching strips are on her feet. Over her skirt she wears chaps and on the boots she has steel spurs. This woman is Bisca Connell and she is the law around these parts. Bisca has two revolvers on her waist. On her back she carries what appears to be long barreled Winchester with a sniper scope attached. Holstered across the Winchester is a pump action shotgun and finally on her left thigh is a sawed off shotgun. One of the men puts down several chips and looks to Bisca.

"That's five million Beli Connell, you in or out?" Asks the man while Bisca knuckle rolls her chip. She stares at her cards before looking to the man across from her. Only three remain in the game while the other is simply there to watch. It appears the man across from her has gone all in.

"Five million, you must have a hell of a hand." States Bisca with a slight smile on her face. The other two playing, do not share her amusement. The man across from her appears to be rather mad and the reason is due to his small patch of chips. Bisca holds up her cup and a man comes to refill it. Bisca then slowly, sips her drink.

"Come on Bisca, you in or out god damnit!" Growls the man across from her in frustration. Bisca sets her cup down and releases a sigh.

"Well Fred, you look like you're just about ready to burst." Taunts Bisca as she looks at her cards again.

"Come on, show." Growls Fred as he glares at Bisca.

"Well, I suppose I've lost my mind but I guess I'll just have to call." States Bisca before throwing some chips down. Fred smiles and shows his hand which consists of a Four of a Kind, made with the eight card. Right after his smile is torn from his face when Bisca puts her cards down to show a Royal Straight Flush.

"Isn't that a daisy?" Taunts Bisca with a smile. Fred looks to her with his anger having reached its boiling point.

"Why you filthy bitch!" Growls Fred as he stands, tossing his chair back. The man next to Fred looks to him with worry.

"Hey Fred just let it go." Warns the man as he knows who this girl is. Fred is a man not from here and has no idea who he's playing with.

"Shut up." Growls Fred, looking to the man before turning his attention to Bisca who remains unfazed, "Take your money and get the hell out of here, because I'm tired of listening to your mouth."

"Why, Fred," Says Bisca in her best lady like drawl while she taps her gold engraved revolvers, "are we cross?" Fred looks down at her guns and sneers.

"Those guns don't scare me," Replies Fred darkly, "Cause without them guns you ain't nothing' but a cow whose mother was a whore."

"What a rude thing to say." States Bisca with the shake of her head, "Does this mean we're not friends anymore?" Suddenly, several men stand up from around the Casino and point their guns at Bisca who remains unfazed.

"Didn't see this coming, did you bitch?" Growls Fred as Bisca's eyes lock on to each man. Bisca sighs and puts her cup down.

"Looks like twelve more holes need to be dug." States Bisca, making the men look to each other.

"What was that?" Demands Fred before Bisca drops her cup. Time slows as the cup falls before Bisca draws one of her pistols. She fires, hitting the man behind Fred right in the forehead. The bullet travels all the way through before ricocheting off some metal, hitting the man to Fred's right and whizzing around. Fred stands as Bisca's cup shatters against the floor. As it does, eleven men face plant on the ground, dead. Fred is now sweating like a pig.

"Y-You missed." Says Fred, looking himself over before laughing hysterically.

"I never miss." States Bisca before a pool of blood appears on Fred's chest. Fred touches the blood and looks at it before turning to Bisca who holsters her pistol.

"You bitch." Says Fred before falling backwards and hitting the floor. Fred groans on the floor while screaming out. Nobody says anything as Bisca stands. Everyone knows, she protects the town. Gun fights have decreased since she stood up.

"I'll let you live this one time seeing as you're new around here." Says Bisca as she looks down at Fred, "But never forget that I am the law around these parts." Suddenly the Casino doors burst open and a sweating boy steps in.

"B-Bisca!" Calls the boy, making the gunslinger turn to the boy, "P-Pirates… pirates are coming ashore!" Bisca narrows her eyes and steps forward before exiting the Casino.

Shore

With rain coming down and winds blowing hard, the Demon Pirates are having trouble securing the Leviathan. Ain moves around, shouting orders over the wind while Shisui secures the ship. Lily hangs onto the shoulder of Shisui who seems unfazed by the weather. Suddenly, Buccaneer catches a glimpse of the townsfolk coming down to the shore.

"Captain!" Warns Buccaneer as Shisui turns to meet the townspeople. The people do not appear to be very welcoming.

"Your kind isn't welcome here, pirate." Growls a man, making the crew narrow their eyes.

"We won't be long, leave us." States Shisui before turning away. The man widens his eyes and steps forward, right in front of Shisui.

"Maybe your ears don't work so well." Growls the man, only to have Yamato's tip at his throat. Shisui turns to him with a cold look.

"Leave us, I won't tell you a third time." States Shisui, getting fed up with the man.

"I'm going to have to ask you to turn over that weapon." Says a voice, making the pirates turn to it and form heart shaped eyes. Shisui glances to the voice and narrows his eyes at the sight of Bisca, now wearing a trench coat.

"Why?" Demands Shisui, making Bisca giggle.

"That's the rules for outsiders," Says Bisca with a smile before her face turns cold, "And because I said so."

"What if I refuse to obey?" Asks Shisui with a smirk, making Bisca narrow her eyes.

"Then you'll have several new holes in your body." Replies Bisca with a smirk of her own.

"Really, well now I'm curious." Says Shisui, still not removing Yamato from the man's throat.

"Didn't your mom ever tell you not to bring a sword to a gunfight?" Asks Bisca as she shows her guns, making Shisui smile.

"No, she told me swords are far more reliable." States Shisui as the tension thickens.

"Well then, leave that man alone and come over here to prove it." Challenges Bisca with a smirk. Shisui removes the sword from the man's throat before sheathing it.

"I accept." States Shisui before stepping forward.

"You can't be serious?" Questions Bisca with surprise. Shisui says nothing as the storm rages on.

"Alright then, you're funeral." States Bisca before lightning strikes. Shisui dashes forward at high speeds, making Bisca draw her pistols. She fires twice and smiles before her eyes widen when she sees Shisui block the bullets. The townspeople look on in shock at the pirate not lying dead. Yamato flashes and swings down but Bisca lifts her pistol to block. She then fires right at Shisui who blocks once again with his sword. Bisca smiles with Shisui smirking. Shisui presses forward while blocking as Bisca steps back while firing. Bisca fires again but Shisui ducks down to dodge. He then raises his foot, only for Bisca to block with her foot. Bisca locks the leg and fires, only for her bullet to be cut down the middle. The two dance around each other with swings and bullets being released. Bisca then deflects a swing with her pistol before her feet skid on the ground. Yamato comes down but is blocked by both pistols. With all weapons locked in the clash, Shisui uses Yamato to disarm Bisca's right hand. Her pistol flies in the air before landing in the sand.

"It's over." States Shisui as he swings but Bisca smirks.

"Yes it is." Says Bisca before lifting her left pistol and fanning the hammer on her pistol. Shisui deflects all the bullets in the blink of an eye but Bisca still smiles. The bullets bounce off different materials before converging on Shisui who is taken by surprise.

"I win." Says Bisca before gravity increases and slams her into the sand. She struggles to look up and spots her bullets sinking into the ground. The ground sinks beneath Bisca, making her grunt before yelling out.

"Not bad, if it were anyone else, you would've won." Compliments Shisui before gravity returns to normal, making Bisca breathe heavily.

"So then, can we rest here while waiting for the navy to arrive?" Asks Shisui as he sheathes his sword. Bisca pants before looking up at Shisui.

"The Navy?" Questions Bisca, not liking the marines.

"Yeah, they've got the dad of one of our friends." Reveals Shisui, making Bisca widen her eyes.

"Very well but on one condition." Says Bisca as she sits up with shadowed eyes.

"What is it?" Asks Shisui with his arms folded.

"You let me join your voyage." Says Bisca with a blush and shy look on her face.

"Why?" Asks Shisui with a sweat drop at suddenly being asked to join his crew.

"Because, I want an adventure and what better way than to join a pirate crew!" Exclaims Bisca with a smile.

"B-But, you just said we weren't welcome here." Reminds Shisui with a sweat drop.

"Yeah but that was before you beat me and proved you were strong." States Bisca nonchalantly as if attacking someone is no big problem.

"Welcome aboard!" Shouts the crew, making Shisui turn to them and see their heart shaped pupils. Ain, Ann, Baccarat, Carina, Okiku and Olive sweat drop at the crew.

"Fools." Sighs Shisui with a head shake.

Next Chapter- Showdown in Tombstone! Shuzo's Evil Plan?

Ok guys I've introduced two crew members, Lily and Bisca Connell. I think I going to have Bisca shoot out bullets with special affects much like Usopp.

I also might have Nico Robin in the crew, what do you think?

Till next time.
