Chapter 25 - The Start of a Legend

"Hmm... I wonder where everyone is?" Kaito muttered as he wondered where all the people have gone to.

As Kaito arrived at his destination, he happened to bump into the other crew members with a surprised look.

The Straw Hat's pirates started to talk to each other as they wondered where Luffy is since he told them that he would be here.

"What's wrong with you, Zoro?" Usopp asked as he noticed that Zoro had an annoyed look.

Sanji perked his ear as he noticed his expression as well when he noticed from the corner of his eyes that Kaito was holding his laughter.

"What did you do?" Sanji walked beside him as he whispered.

"Pfft... look at his back" Kaito stated as he direct his eyes at Zoro's back.

Sanji did as he said as he looked at Zoro's back and chuckled, he walked towards him with a smirk on his face.

"Hey! is your mommy not with you?" Sanji asked with a mocking look.

"Huh... what the hell are you talking about?" Zoro questioned as he got annoyed at seeing his face.

"Zoro, there's something on your back" Nami stated as she chuckled when she saw the thing that was written on the note on his back.

Zoro was confused as he grabbed whatever was on his back and saw what was written, he finally understood why all the people around him had pity looks when they saw him.

[My Mommy is gone... please help me... I'm lost and scared]

"Damn it... if I found out who did this, I'll make sure to slice him into a million pieces" Zoro stated with an infuriated look.

HAHAHAHAHA~

Zoro looked at Kaito who was bawling his eyes out and laughing like a maniac as he immediately understood who did it.

"You... bastard, it was you!" Zoro exclaimed in anger as he unsheathed his blade intending to slice him.

As the two of them were about to brawl, they heard a commotion in front of them and exclaimed in shock and disbelief as they saw Luffy was about to be executed.

"What is he doing on that execution stake!?" Zoro was dumbfounded as he exclaimed in both annoyance and disbelief.

"I was too late... I knew he was going to get in trouble but this is too much!" Kaito complained in annoyance.

"You three will save Luffy, me and Usopp are going to prepare the boat" Nami ordered the three of them as she took Usopp with her and rushed at the Going Merry ship.

The three of them looked at each other and nodded as they immediately dashed towards the crowd of pirates with their weapons and legs ready to beat them up.

...

"Do you have any last word?" Buggy asked him with a smug smile.

"Nevermind... even though you have some, no one will care about that!" Buggy added as he mocked him in front of the people while Luffy had an annoyed look.

"I... AM THE PERSON WHO WILL BECOME THE PIRATE KING!" Luffy shouted with all his strength.

The audience started to chatter in surprise and shock as they looked at the man at the execution platform.

Buggy was about to slash down the sword at Luffy's neck when all of a sudden a shout was heard that made him stop

"THIS EXECUTION... IS CANCELLED!" Zoro, Sanji and Kaito shouted at the same time as they rushed toward Luffy.

"Sanji! Zoro! Kaito!" Luffy exclaimed in joy and surprise as he looked at the three who were charging towards him.

The three of them beat up all the pirates that were charging at them with ease.

Kaito took out his gun and reloaded it as he aimed at Buggy intending to stop him from executing Luffy.

Bang~

Just as the card was about to hit Buggy, a beautiful lady blocked it with her club as it parried away.

"Tch... annoying" Kaito grumbled as he clicked his tongue in annoyance.

Buggy laughed at the efforts of the three men as he mocked them and slowly readied up his form to slash down at Luffy.

'I have to destroy that stake!' the three of them thought at the same time as they started to panic.

"Zoro... Sanji... Kaito... Usopp... Nami...!" Luffy shouted at them.

"... Sorry! but I don't think that I will survive this time" Luffy added as he smiled and chuckled at them.

"Don't... DON'T SAY THAT!" Sanji shouted as the cigarette in his mouth fell.

As Buggy brought down the sword and was about to chop Luffy's head, the sword created a spark as thunder fell towards the execution platform.

Rumble~ Boom~

The thunder hit directly at the platform as it started to crumble and fell to the ground.

Crash~ Thud~

Luffy stood up from the debris as he picked up his hat and put it on his head.

"Haha... lucky, I'm alive!" Luffy said as he smiled and laughed in triumph.

Everyone was dumbfounded as they couldn't believe the miracle that they watched with their own eyes.

"H-Hey... do you believe in God?" Sanji asked them with a disbelief look.

"I do... I wouldn't be here if God didn't exist" Kaito answered with a complicated look.

"Don't say something stupid... let's get out of here before the marines come" Zoro retorted them as he suggested to escape away from here.

As Zoro finished saying that, marines came all around them as they started to surround and captured the pirates.

"Run!" Kaito said as he started to run away with the others.
