The Copyist (One Piece & OC)

Chapter 71: Hordy's Downfall

***Amaya's POV***

Lots went down during the time I checked on Chi and the plane. Luffy finally pounded Hordy into the seabed. Naturally, Noah, the large boat chasing Shirahoshi, became the next looming problem.

Luffy attempted to smash the boat to bits with his elephant gatling before it nosedived into the island. Luckily the princess was able to access her latent powers and summoned a group of sea kings to pull the sunken vessel away.

Whew! That was a close call. Chi also sighed in relief on my shoulder. We jumped off the Sunny where my plane was redocked, joining the others on the ground.

There was a new type of chaos in the plaza as many of the newly freed humans made a break for it.

"We shouldn't be here!"

"Hurry up or they'll catch us!"

"Let's go! We humans have nothing to do with this battle!"

There were several fishmen who also claimed to have only joined the Fishman Pirates due to fear. Jimbe headed off the group of fishmen who were trying to escape without any repentance, saying that they will wait for Neptune and his family to make a decision.

The snailsponders throughout the island also went off.

There is something that we would like all islanders to know. The voice of the second minister rang throughout the island. The Straw Hats were not involved in the kidnapping of the Mermaids at all. We admit that we made a mistake in our fact-checking process and we take full responsibility. We want to apologize.

Well that was nice.

"Suuuuuper," Franky broke the silence in our group while pushing the button on his nose. "Afro!" He called as his blue hair sprung out into an afro.

I laughed at the unexpectedness of his move.

"Franky-san, that's so cool!" Brook comments.

"Isn't it super?" Franky questioned rhetorically.

"Hey Chopper? Ya alright there?" Usopp asked the teetering reindeer.

"Yeah...I'm fine," he kept teetering on his hooves before nearly falling over.

Luckily I snatched him up in time as I knelt to the ground. Laying his head on my lap, I let him rest.

"When I use the Monster Boost, I can't even walk for a couple of hours from fatigue. But I can still treat you. Is anyone hurt?" Chopper explained.

"Look who's talking!" Zoro retorts.

"Everyone looks okay." Robin answers the bluenose.

"Ama-chan! I used a daring technique and I'm exhausted too!" Sanji exclaimed with heart eyes as he was already laying on the ground. The energy of how he drug himself over using his arms told another story. "Let me put my head in your lap, too! Please!"

I shook my head in exasperation as I made room on my lap for him to join Chopper. Sanji wasted no time in joining the reindeer. I ran my hand through his hair, having nothing else to do. "I saw you, Sanji. I was up in the sky with you in case you forgot." I remind the blonde.

"I did! You were amazing!" Usopp exclaimed. "How you were shooting everyone down while flying that thing!"

"That was actually Chi, doing the shooting. She had most of the fun until I left the plane."

"Chi Chi!" She straightened her back in pride.

"I was impressed that you were jumping around in the air like Sanji." Franky mentions.
