"So...? What's our game plan?" Maki asked sitting next to Zoro as absolute bullet hell rained below them.
The two of them saw a massive explosion hitting Mr. 8 dead on.
Zoro stood up, and looked at Maki, "alright... ready on my count... we're gonna just grab him and run!"
"Uh... that doesn't sound like a good-"
"3, 2, 1!" Zoro yelled and jumped off.
The two grabbed Luffy and quickly ran by the Baroque works members.
"This is one screwed up night! You guys can do whatever you want!" Zoro yelled.
"Don't mind us!" Maki said as they dragged the sleeping Luffy.
They made it to other side but they saw, Mr. 9 get blown away into the water. Mr. 5 only used his snot to do it.
"Whoa, now! That's some dangerous snot he's got!" Zoro said as Maki and him hid behind cover.
Suddenly, Mr. 8 grabbed Zoro's leg, still on the ground.
"What the hell!" Zoro shouted trying to get his foot away.
"Sir swordsman!" Mr. 8 yelled. "Upon seeing your skill, I have a request, unreasonable as it may be!"
"Yeah, right! Screw that! Let go of me!" Zoro yelled, Maki just silently stared at Mr. 8.
"As both of those people possess Devil Fruit powers, I can't stop them!" Mr. 8 yelled. "Might I ask you to protect the princess in my place?"
"Okay..." Maki mumbled, "you kind of tried to kill us..."
"I know! But please!" Mr. 8 yelled, "if you can safely deliver the princess to the great kingdom of Alabasta far east from here... I promise! You will be rewarded immensely!"
"Rewarded?" He felt sweat drop from his head, "uh oh... I can sense Nami."
"Screw that!" Zoro yelled at him, "you were just trying to kill us until a minute ago! Don't make me cut you some more!"
"Is this 'immense reward' for real?" Nami suddenly asked, coming out of no where.
Maki let out a very deep sigh.
Nami smiled with a wink, "I'll take up that offer, how about... How does one billion berries sound?"
Maki let out a cough, surprised.
"That's yonko bounty money!" His thoughts screamed.
"O-one... Billion Be-" he cleared his throat, his jaw dropped. "Ma-ma-ma..."
"I thought you were asleep." Zoro said, able to move since Mr. 8 let go of his leg.
"Come on, now." Nami hopped off where she was sitting. "Who in their right mind would sleep carelessly in an overly-suspicious town that welcomes pirates?"
She grinned, "it was all an act! A-C-T! Act!" She then made a drinking gesture with her hand, "I could keep going if I wanted!"
"Uh huh..." Maki mumbled. "Looked like you were pretty drunk to me."
Mr. 8 was still in shock by the amount of money Nami wanted, "Ma-ma-ma..."
Nami smiled down at him, "so, will you promise us one billion, Squad Captain? If you don't ask for our help, your princess will probably die..."
"God you're a terrible person..." Maki sighed causing Nami to snicker.
"A mere soldier like me can't promise such large sums of money..." Mr. 8 mumbled, causing Nami to lean down to him with a smug look.
