Chapter 91: You Gave Our Treasure to WHO?!

(Y/N) guided Luffy, Zoro, Nami and Sanji through the Ruyugu Palace straight to the Hard Shell Tower. "Are you sure this is the way?" Zoro questioned his guide.

"I know you're not questioning my sense of direction." (Y/N) sassed back, not looking at Zoro. "I don't know who the hell is bothering the Princess, but we'll find out soon enough."

The group popped through the Hard Shell Tower's air bubble and walked towards the Princess's room. As they walked the path to her room, they saw the pirate captain they captured before arriving at Fishman Island speaking to the Princess as his mud-like goop covered her. "I just received word from my brother! He and the crew have made port on Fishman Island! We're all headed to the New World, and we'd like you to come along with us!" Shiraoshi had tears pouring from her eyes as she tried to scream through the mud covering her mouth.

"Is that..." Luffy innocently questioned as the pirate captain leaned closer to Shiraoshi's face.

"Now, now. Show me a smile!" The captain cackled as he licked his lips.

"Hey, you!" Luffy shouted at the man as Sanji, (Y/N) and Zoro glared him down.

The captain turned back to the four Straw Hats. "Oh, what do you want, Straw Hat? Go find your own mermaid princess. We're busy!" He turned back to Shiraoshi, laughing. A few seconds passed as his laugher died down. The man began to nervously sweat before yelping. "It's you!" He quickly turned back to Luffy as his eyes popped out of their sockets in utter shock.

"Luffy!" Shiraoshi cried out as she looked back at the Straw Hats.

The pirate captain screamed in shock as Luffy bit down on the piece of meat in his hand. Luffy calmly walked up to the man harassing Shiraoshi. A clean and crisp punch to the pirate captain's face, sent him flying down to Fishman Island. "That guy was still here?" Luffy innocently questioned.

"Well, that took care of that. I'm glad you're okay, Princes—" (Y/N) looked up at Shiraoshi, but she was cut off by Shiraoshi screaming Luffy's name and hugging the captain as tears poured from her eyes. "That was scary, thank you for saving me!"

Sanji fell to his hands and knees, slamming the ground below him as he cried out. "Luffy, you lucky bastard! I shoulda kicked him while I had the chance!"

"Wasn't that the pirate we captured not too long ago?" Zoro looked over at (Y/N) for confirmation. (Y/N) nodded in response. Zoro continued. "I haven't seen him since we left the island. Hell, I haven't even though about him."

"Yeah, I honestly forgot he existed. Kinda wish I did." (Y/N) shivered a bit. "That guy was a creep. Why does he lick his mouth so much? Crusty lips, maybe."

Zoro chuckled. "Oh, well, I guess he's gone now."

After a few minutes, the Minister of the Right, King Neptune and even Pappag rushed in. (Y/N) explained what happened, and too her surprise, the Minister bowed down on his hands to her and her crew mates. "That was a close call. We really can't thank you enough, Luffy."

"Eh, it's no big deal." Luffy munched on the meat in his hand as he spoke.

The Minister stood up. "That ruffian who stole from us. I can't believe he was still nearby! This place is usually locked up so tight even a guppy can't get in. But with everything that's happened, it seems we left it open!" He pointed back to the sliced in half building Zoro created. "And look! That big tower over there has been sliced clean in two! The robber must've done it while we were out in the plaza!"

(Y/N) looked over at Zoro. 'Nope... it was definitely him.' She sighed in disappointment, shaking her head. 'It's better they don't know.' Pappag spoke up, pointing back at Zoro. "Sorry, actually, that would be this guy. Man, you shoulda seen him! When they got out of the cage, he was hacking and slashing all over the pla—" Pappag was shut up by Zoro smacking his head.
