"That's it." Luffy grinned.
"No way. With that kind of power, you can be invicible!" Usopp shouted.
"Not really." Luffy said "Even if you can see it coming, what's the point if you can't do anything to stop or evade it?" "Hmm. Good point." Zoro said.
"So...what's the third one Luffy?" Usopp asked. "I'll show you when the pirates get here." Luffy said as he looked back to the ocean, ending the conversation. -Flashback Ends-
'The power to know what your opponent will do beforehand.' Zoro thought. 'And the power to create a suit of armor around one's self. Both with your will alone.' Zoro looked at Luffy before finishing his thoughts. 'Who exactly is this guy that I'm following as Captain?'

"Where are they?" Luffy asked as dawn had come with no pirates in sight.
"They should've been here by now." Zoro said in slight annoyance. Everything was quiet until Nami put a hand to her ear.
"I hear shouting coming from the north." she said.
"The north?" Usopp asked before his eyes widened. "Wait a minute! The northern shore!" he shouted. "Wait. So we're at the wrong shore?" Zoro asked.
"Well they had their secret meeting here, so I thought they would attack from here as well!" Usopp yelled. "This oil trap is worthless now!"
"So all we gotta do is get to the north shore huh?" Luffy asked before Nami screamed in panic.
"Our boats are there! They'll get my treasure!" she screamed.
"Let's go guys. Which way Usopp?" Luffy asked.
"It's identical to this shore. Just run north and you'll be there in three minutes!" he shouted.
"Alright. Shave." Luffy said before he disappeared right before their eyes.
"Huh?" the three said before they blinked and ran off towards the shore. At least, Usopp did. Nami slipped in the oil, but grabbed Zoro's ankle to get herself up the slope, leaving Zoro to slide to the bottom.
"Sorry Zoro!" she shouted as she ran off.
"I'm gonna get that bitch for this!" Zoro grumbled in a dark tone.

At the northern shore, the Black Cat Pirates had arrived and were ready to head up the slope to attack the village. While they were going over the plan, Luffy had arrived at the top and sat on the ground, crossing his arms and legs, waiting for his friends to arrive.
"So that was North huh?" Luffy said to himself. He remembered how he got mixed up last time and used his Haki to find the black cats. He looked down at them, remembering them and their scum of a Captain. He was snapped out of his thoughts when he heard footsteps behind him. He smiled without turning his head. "Looks like you're second Usopp." "Whoa. You got here pretty fast." Usopp said as he caught his breath. "You vanished just like that." Luffy just smiled.
"Hey look!" shouted one of the black cats at the shore, getting both their attention. "Who are those two?"
"AHH! They saw us!" Usopp yelled, looking at them all in fear. Luffy just sat there picking his nose with his pinky.
"So?" he asked. Usopp just stared before losing it completely.
"SO?! SO THEY'RE HERE TO ATTACK THE VILLAGE AND KILL KAYA! HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN EVERYTHING?!" Usopp yelled.
"If we beat them, they won't get there. Right?" Luffy asked.
"W-well yeah." Usopp said before he looked back down at them and got scared again. "But that's a lot of pirates down there!" he screamed as he pointed at them. While they were talking, one of the pirates noticed their boats and took a look, finding a bag of treasure in it.
"Captain Jango! There's treasure here!" the pirate yelled, getting everyone's attention. "It's probably worth five, maybe ten million berris."
"What?! That much?!" Jango screamed. As the black cats looked at the boat, Usopp got an idea.
"Yeah. That's my treasure!" he shouted at them. "I'll give it to you all if you'll leave this island for good!" he said before he was looking at the sky as Luffy used his arm to knock Usopp off his feet. "Huh?" was all he muttered before his head hit the ground.
"Usopp." Luffy said in calm voice as Usopp sat back up and rubbed the back of his head. He looked at Luffy who's eyes were shadowed by his hat. "That treasure is Nami's. She needs it for something very important." he said. Usopp looked at him as Luffy's head slowly turned. "Also, doing something like that with her treasure," he said before looking at him with a terror filled expression and sweat on his face. "Is guaranteed to get you an ass whooping."
"YOU GOT THAT RIGHT?!" Nami screeched as she came out of nowhere and smashed her staff against the back of Usopp's head, shoving his face into the ground. "I heard every word Usopp! What's the big idea trying to give away my treasure you asshole!" she screamed out.
"I-I'm sorry." Usopp muttered as he looked up at her, now wondering who was more terrifying. Her, or Kuro's men?"
