With Y/N

"MISSION SUCCESSFUL!" Y/N declared, but his declaration was cut off by Vivi, yelling in panic.

"NO! THE BOMB IS STILL TICKING! IT'S GOING TO EXPLODE IN SECONDS!" She yelled as she crawled away from the mouth of the cannon.

"What...?" Y/N hissed as he unsummons his rifle, immediately switching it to the Portal gun and fires the trigger, instantly leaping on the other side, the side which Vivi and the huge cannon was. "Vivi...!" he approaches her shattered, horrified expression while she stares inside the cannon. Y/N looks where Vivi is looking at and there he saw a timed cannonball, the clock is still ticking closer to 12.

"Y-Y/N... What are we going to do...?" She asks with a hopeless tone. While he thinks on what to do next, he heard panicking voices of his fellow crewmates on his earpiece, telling him and Vivi that they're already running away, and they should too. "Y-Y/N..." she starts to stutter, tears sliding down her cheek. "Y/N... Crocodile... H-He..."

Y/N simply regards Vivi's worries as the gears inside his heads starts to turn, thinking of every possible character he could do to disarm the bomb, or to...

And then... something came in his mind.

A bright, yet stupid idea.

A solid one.

"Vivi..."

Pell descends at the front of the opened clocktower as he de-transforms back to his human self. "Y/N-kun, Princess Vivi..." He looks briefly to Y/N, who is touching the metal base of the cannon, caressing it as he thinks deeply. And then to the Princess, sobbing as her hands shaking while she grips tightly at the lid of the cannon. "Princess, I have an idea."

That stopped Y/N from thinking as his eyes snap at Pell with a wide eyed expression, as he knows what Pell is currently thinking right now.

"-to protect the royal Nefertari household is a duty,"

"no–wait, Pell, you can't–!" Y/N intervened, yet Pell's sharp glance shuts him up. "I have a more safe idea! JUST DON'T BE STUPID FOR A WHILE!" he yelled at him.

Pell looks at Y/N, a respectable nod as he morphs into his Zoan form. "Y/N-kun, I would like to leave the Princess to your hands now. You, your captain, and to your good crewmates."

Vivi was stunned to speak, nor to move...

"PELL, DON'T-!" Y/N tries to grab his wings, yet Pell swiftly avoids him and grabs the still ticking cannonball on his bird claws, and flies away and upwards. Y/N quickly pressed onto his earpiece to contact someone. "Elle, get me up there, QUICK!"  he yelled as Elle quickly obliged, rocketing herself upwards with her DF powers as Y/N grabbed her arm.

The two followed Pell as he flies higher and higher away from Alubarna.

With Miss All Sunday

She wakes up, waking up inside an unfamiliar way of a metallic transport, that is somewhat hurrying themselves to get out of the city. There are female nurses tending to her wounds before she heard several noises from the metallic black box in front, where the driver is moving the said vehicle.

She listened as there are several voices of people speaking gibberishly, and sometimes at the same time.

Then he heard the voice of that guy, the one who has the power to summon these... soldiers, and their war machine.

"-this is Emperor actual to all units, we have a confirmed WMD inside the clocktower, in the middle of the city, I repeat, WE HAVE A CONFIRMED WMD that is-"

"-advised, there will be NO FLYING around Alubarna! This is the USS Gerald Ford, be advised-"

"-deploy green flares at the roof of the key structures. I repeat, deploy green flares-"

"-numerous Baroque Works forces are rapidly retreating from the capital! We're cutting them-"

"-they're running away! Requesting permission to go after them!"

"-is Bravo Six, we have captured the royal palace, and deployed flares! I repeat-"

She silently listened at the voices, and stares at Alubarna that is drifting off their sights. She simply closes her eyes, hoping, that Strawhat Luffy will win against Crocodile, and end this once and for all.

With Y/N

"PELL! LISTEN TO ME!" Y/N cries out as their distance between each other gets closer. "When I say 'go', throw me!" he said to Elle.

Pelle glances his head down and sees both of them catching up.

"NOW!" Y/N yelled.

"GOOOO!" Elle spins widly before she throws him with all of her might with a yell.

Y/N propels forward and successfully grabs the end of the cannonball.

"Pell, listen. You don't have to sacrifice yourself... Please. Vivi still needs you. And Igaram is still alive, so don't do this..."

That caught Pell's attention, a slight flinch made him look back at Y/N with wide eyes.

They didn't speak for two seconds as the timer inside the cannonball continues to ticking down.

With a begrudging nod, Pell allowed Y/N to do his plan. Y/N nods back as he took a deep inhale.

"Character Set..."

Exhaling, he grinned as the clock strikes one second before 12, and opens his mouth.

"KIRBY!"

With Vivi

Vivi and the others back at Alubarna waited. But there was no explosion or a bright flash of light illuminating the sky.

"Pell..." Vivi weakly muttered her eyes still looking up, and then she sees two people descending down. "Pell..."

It was clearly Pell, and Y/N. And they are both unharmed.

"Oh, Pell...!" She cried out happy tears as Pell lands back at the clocktower with a shameful look, he is not looking at her, but in Vivi's eyes, she is clearly happy to see him, alive and unharmed. "B-but, how..."

She took a second glance at her royal bodyguard and caretaker, until she notices Y/N shit-eating grin, hands behind his head as he hops out of Pell's bird claws.

"Yo." Y/N winked.

"H-How...?" she is clearly confused and her mind racked on what the hell happened to the bomb. "Where's-?"

Y/N simply patted his stomach, burping slightly. "Luckily, I quickly acted out in instict."

Vivi simply looked at him and to his body. "You... ate the... bomb?"

"Yup!" he grinned.
