You picked the wrong island!

Usopp was angry about Klahadore for a while but he was not someone you could plot against. He was not said to be the second most intelligent person in East Blue for nothing. (Author's note: The first one is scary enough to make Kizaru hesitate) Thus he hid the anger in his heart, which was at the brink of explosion, so much that his personality had been affected.

'Screw that. Let me go cheer up Kaya in a bit. I wonder how the Veggie trio will hold against the Kuro pirates?'

Usopp began to think of other things so that he won't kill Kuro when he sees him. At the same time, he was worried about the kids even though he had made them cooperate with Luffy.

...

Northern sea cliff, Dawn.

Since Usopp had detected their presence, there was no problem with preparing for the battle. The veggie trio had been taught the way to create very nasty traps worthy for pirates and even those from the grandline would fear the setup if they saw it. Oil, wires, tabasco sauce and pitfalls were activated. The setup was already prepared by Usopp as the Northern cliff was the Usopp pirates' HQ. If the real defense countermeasures were activated, Even a supernova won't leave without serious injuries. Usopp did not allow the kids to activate such extreme mechanisms as in might scar them for life.

"The pirate's ship is approaching. I'll take them on."

Zoro stood up and began moving towards the ship. But he was stopped by the veggie trio first.

" If you go down now, we can't make our move. Unless stronger enemies make their moves, you have to stay here."

Piiman said as he opened up a hidden passage. The three then jumped inside. Zoro was flabbergasted by the hidden setup. Even he could not detect that there was such a thing hidden there.

Inside the hidden passage was a control room which controlled the trap mechanisms. There was even periscopes to judge the positions of the enemies.

"The pirates have begun disembarking. Prepare countermeasure #4. Load...Fire!"

The pirates who just got off their ship was shocked when they saw some canisters flying towards them. Then their nightmare began.

" What is this powder? Are they trying to make fun of us?...why do I feel itchy?"

The pirates asked the same question in their minds. Then they began scratching themselves...vigorously.

" What the hell is happening here? Are you guys trying to play the role of a dog full of lice? Don't act stupid or our captain will kill you all!"

Django was irritated at the cannon fodder for not even being able to climb a cliff. He then saw another canister flying at them and started spewing out red smoke. The cries only became louder, and many of them outright fainted.

"Countermeasure #7 in place! First wave annihilated. Standby for second wave."

Ninjin was the strategist appointed by Usopp for leading the trio during a defensive siege. He had used a combo of high grade itching powder and tabasco sauce spray to overwhelm the pirates' senses. At the same time, Django was really angry at the ones who attacked them and the lack of information on such attack methods. The kids even used the wind's direction to increase the attack's effects. As such, Django gave the order for the veterans to move out.

In the control room, the kids were loading up the next round of nightmares into the launchers when a head extended into the room.

" Just watching is making me bored so I'll start attacking. Just sit down and enjoy the show."

Zoro disappeared after that. The kids understood that they could not attack anymore unless they wanted to injure their allies.

" Lets go out and fight. staying here won't change a thing and we need to show Captain that we three are not weak. It is our last battle as a crew after all."

Piiman's words triggered the other two into action and they immediately ran back out to the location where the encounter was heating up.

" One-Two Django! You will continue to attack the enemies!"

When the trio came out, they saw the people they had defeated get up and continue their attack.

"Aaaahhhhhh!!!"

They heard Luffy yell and run towards the pirates. But he did not look like he was conscious. They looked at Zoro asking for an explanation.

"Why is idiot getting hypnotized too?!"

Shouted Zoro. Luffy was almost about to clash with the enemies when he started to move his hands at a very fast pace. They started to stretch and the pirates were caught in a barrage of fists too fast for the eye to follow.

"[Gomu Gomu no Gatling]!"

The pirates went flying everywhere and started to run away from the pure terror that they felt subconsciously. Luffy kept on running until he reached reached the ship and with a show of pure strength, pulled of the bow and threw it on the pirates.

"One-Two Django, fall asleep!"

The acting captain of the Kuro Neko pirates' acting captain, who was looking at the fight as if he became stupid reacted fast enough to save their ship from being destroyed by this monster.

"Oi meowban Brothers! Get out here and wipe these people out!"

Yelled Django. Then two people jumped of the ship and landed on the ground with no problems. The scene was something of a feat in itself in East blue, but the only one who was impressed at such an act was Nami. The rest of them had seen or done way better things than something like that.

"Oi Siam, Captain said we need to attack that guy with the sword."

"No way am I going to attack, Butchie! That dude looks mean!"

This conversion would have been normal for cowards or normal civilians even, not the executive member of a strong crew like Kuro's. Only that Zoro wasn't impressed at all. He looked like he was going to eat Siam for breakfast.

"Oi Siam! Attack that swordsman now! If I don't attack the village in the morning then Captain will kill us, you fool!"

Django yelled at Siam. Siam reluctantly started to attack the very angry Zoro.

'I am going to make these guys feel pain! No mercy for these cats!'

Zoro thought as he took his stance with one sword. But in that moment a hand with a cat shaped glove with steel claws at its end had almost reached him. Zoro immediately blocked and then threw a kick at Siam. Then he took out the other two swords and oh boy, was he angry.

" If it was me two days ago, you would have probably succeeded in taking away my sword. But yesterday I learnt that to survive in the seas which we are aiming for, putting your guard down for even a second means death. The two of you won't be able to defeat me."

Zoro dodged an attack from Buschie at that moment and took a stance.

"[Santouryuu:OniGiri]...[ToraGari]!

The only sounds that could be heard was that of three swords being sheathed and two bodies falling. The rest of the world stood still as if it was admiring the skills of the Pirate Hunter.

" Consider yourself lucky that you fell to my sword. From here on... I'll be unstoppable!"

Everyone watching the fight had only one thought in their minds at that moment.

'That was way too cool!'

...

Usopp was sitting on top of Kaya's house monitoring Kaya. Then he looked towards the north.

"Why do I feel like Zoro did something really cool? Oh, he feels like he is stronger than yesterday somehow. Now, let me go get Kaya and finish the matters here."

Kaya was looking at the butler Merry, who was seriously injured by Kuro. Listening to Merry, she was heartbroken because Kuro had tricked her. When she opened the door to go outside, she saw Usopp waiting for her.

"Usopp! Immediately come with me to warn the villagers...the pirates are going to attack us!"

Kaya started pulling Usopp when she could barely walk. Usopp felt like he would melt because of how she put others before her.

"Don't worry about the pirates or Kuro. My friends are dealing with it right now."

" Usopp, don't lie at this point!"

"What will it take for you to believe me? Come, I'll carry you."

Usopp carried Kaya on his back and started running towards the sea. He felt Kuro's presence and found that he had almost reached the shore.

"Hang on Kaya... I'll be going faster!"
