"Gecko Moria, we're taking back twice the amount of food you stole..." Luffy declared as he raced off of the boat and towards the building "...and before dawn!"
"Yeah!" his crew cheered and followed behind their captain.
"W-Wait...that wasn't quite the point I was making" Usopp tried to say but no one was listening as they all got ready to leave with their 'jobs' in mind.

The Straw Hats left the Thousand Sunny and they went their separate ways. Zoro and Franky headed off to the lower bridge in search of the samurai and skeleton while Luffy, Sanji, and the others took the stairs up to the top floor towards the shadow stealing Warlord.
Word had spread around the island that the Straw Hats were aware of using salt to purify the zombies so many of the zombies fled at the sight of them and didn't even try to take on any of the Straw Hats. Still, that did not stop Sanji and Luffy to beat up whichever one was in their eyeline.
"Oh no! I completely forgot!" when they approached a second flight of stairs, Robin skidded to a halt.
"What?" Anamaria turned to her and looked where the woman was staring.
Robin's eyes were fixed on the top of the stairs, where Luffy and Sanji were closest to. Five white, translucent ghosts with big black eyes and thick lips came flying towards them. The ghosts flew through the bodies of Sanji and Luffy and the two men crumpled into the fetal position.
"I can't take it anymore" Luffy whimpered "In my next life, I hope I'm reborn as a mosquito larva"
"I hope my eyebrows curl up too much and I become an idiot" Sanji croaked.
"Ne-ga-tive! Ne-ga-tive!" the ghosts started to sing as zombies stomped over to the two depressed men.
"Those ghosts...they can dishearten you with a touch and destroy your will" Robin replied "As of right now, we don't know how to counter them"
"Got 'em" one of the zombies exclaimed gleefully, grabbing Luffy by the arm while motioning for someone to get the cook.
"Crap! They caught both of them!" Usopp screamed.
A shot of sea water flew directly into the mouth of the zombie holding Luffy, who instantly dropped the rubber man and clutched his throat.
"What is it? What happened?" the other zombies cried to him.
They watched in horror as his mouth opened and a dark shadow came floating of it. He collapsed lifelessly on the floor.
"Get away from my cap and the cook" the rest of the ghost turned to see where the water had come from.
The rest of the zombies scrambled out of the way, dropping Sanji as well, while the ghosts came flying towards the group in a panicked last attempt only for the woman to 'purify' another of them.
"Ahhh!" screamed Usopp. He ducked low, clasping his hands over his head, and summoned all his courage "We gotta go!"
The Straw Hats sprinted forward with Anamaria scooping up the bummed out Sanji in a bridal carry while Chopper grabbed Luffy. They raced up the stairs with the zombies and ghosts chasing after them.
"Hurry! If we get touched by those ghosts, it's game over!" Usopp shouted "Our only hope is to carry them and run!" he turned around "S-Stay back!" Usopp screamed to the ghosts while Anamaria and Chopper followed him.
