Chapter 127: Baroque Works Fight Start

A few hours ago, Ben, Alvida, Mikita, Honey, Marianne, Nojiko, Nami and Kaya were blown off the ship due to the intense winds. Ben and Kaya had transformed in their hybrid and beast form respectively. The girls held onto them for dear life.

They were in the desert in the scorching heat. 

"We are alive," Nami said as she dusted herself off. 

"Yes we are sis," Nojiko said as they started jumping and hugging each other. 

"That was some storm," Honey said as she got up. 

"It came out of nowhere," Marianne said as she dusted the sand off her shoe.

"Is everyone okay?"Alvida asked.

"Yes," Mikita replied.

"Could be better," Ben said. 

"Get off me you pervert," Kaya said. Kaya had transformed back into her human form. Ben had grabbed breast by accident when they held each other. 

Ben chucked. "Looks like everyone is good," Mikita said. 

"Yes, it looks like it," Nojiko said. She looked at Kaya who was a bit red however she had a smile on her face. Nami sighed. 

"Where do you think we are?" Honey said.

"We should be close to the Rainbase," Ben said.

"Luffy and all might need our help," Nami said.

"Vivi is with them as well," Kaya added.

"Which way should we go?" Marianne asked. 

Ben looked around and saw the river again. "The river is there, if we go upstream we should be able to get to the Rainbase," Ben said. 

They nodded. They started working towards the river and then upstream. They walked for a few minutes until they saw a group of people.

"Those are members of the Baroque Works," Marianne said.

"Yes, Mr 1, Zala, Mr 4, Miss Merry Christmas, Mr. 6 and Miss Mother's Day," Mikita said.

"Some other members as well and they are pulling a large cage," Kaya said. 

"We should stop them here my love," Alvida said. 

"Yes you are right however we need to group with Luffy as well, " Ben said.

"Let's split up. Me, Nojiko and Honey will head to the Rainbase. The rest of you led by Alvida will stop the members of the Baroque Works," Ben ordered.

"Yes, that is a good idea," Mikita replied. 

"It is risky however we need to move quickly," Nami said.

"I believe in you all and Vivi does as well," Ben said. This ignited a fire in all of them. They were reminded of why they were here in the scorching heat. 

"Okay, let's do it," Kaya said. 

"It looks like Mr. 6 and Miss Mother's Day are going on that boat," Marianne pointed out. 

"That ship might have weapons," Mikita said. 

"We should stop them before anyone gets them," Nami said.

"They will sail towards BM and HQ, they will take care of them," Ben said. The other girls nodded.

"Okay let's move out," Ben said. The girls nodded yes and shouted yes. Ben transformed into his hybrid form and Nojiko and Honey held on to him on either side. Ben put his arms around their waist and flew away. 

Mr 1 and Zalal looked up to see a figure flying. "What is that?" Zala said. 

"I don't know but I don't like it," Mr 1 replied. 

"Let's shoot them down," Miss Christmas said. Mr 4 nodded. He held a bazooka, as he was about to shoot he got hit by a golden beam.

"Angel Beam," Kaya said in her beast form. 

Mr 4 stumbled backwards and dropped the bazooka. "Who did that?" Miss Christmas shouted.

"We did," Alvida said. Alvida. Kaya, Nami, Mikita and Marianne were in front of them. 

"Miss Valentine you are still alive," Miss Christmas said in shock, 

"Yes I am," Mikita replied.

"And Miss Marianne you are with them?" Zala asked.

"Yes," Marianne replied. 

"Mr 6 and Miss Mother's Day, get those weapons there," Mr 1 ordered. 

He then rushed towards the girls. He transformed the undersides of his fingers into blades. "Spar Claws ," Mr 1 said. 

Alvida saw this and held her iron mace and clashed with him. "I will take him," Alvida said. 

Mr 4 and Miss Christmas got ready to attack again when Kaya and Nami stood in front of them. "We will take you down," Kaya said.

"Yes we will," Nami replied. 

"Mr 0 does not like traitors Miss Golden Week," Akumai said. He wore a grey and black striped shirt and a white scarf around his neck. He wore black pants and black shoes. 

"Yes he does not," Mr Love said. He was an average man with shaggy brown hair. He wore a pair of tan gloves and a blueish-black coat with a hood. He wore black pants and black shoes. 

"I am with the Love Pirates now," Marianne stated as she picked up her paintbrush. 

Zala then runs up and punches Mikita. Mikita blocked the punch by crossing her arms. Mikita then jumps back. "I guess you are mine," Mikita said. Zala smiled back. 

Zala then followed up with a kick to Mikita. Mikita followed with her own kick and the both clashed. 

"So Miss Valentine, why did you betray us," Zala said. 

"Ben showed me the errors of my ways. He is a man unlike Crocodile," Mikita said. 

"Ben. huh. The man you joined," Zala said.

"Yes he is the Captain," Mikita said. Zala lunged forward and tried to punch Mikira in the face. Mikita dodged the attack and followed up with a sweeping leg kick. Zala jumped backwards. 

"Captain. You are glowing since the last time I met you. You look more grounded and calm yet fierce at the same time," Zala said. 

Mikita smiled, "Maybe but why do you care Miss Doublefinger," Mikita said.

Zala smiled and ran up and high kicked Mikita. Mikita ducked down by bending her kness. Zala then dropped her leg down. Mikita rolled away. 

Mikita got back on her feet. "I care because you are my friend Mikita," Zala said. 

"Zala join us," Mikita said. 

Zala smiled. "You really think this Ben can beat Mr 0," Zala said. 

"I know he can, Ben knew his real plans," Mikita replied. 

This got Zala interested. "Mr 0 never even told me the second highest ranked female," Zala said. 

"Ben told us all. Zala join us," Mikita said. 

"What did he tell you?" Zala asked.

"You have to ask him directly," Mikita said and added, "He will take care of you."

"Maybe, Miss All Sunday has been acting strange since she came back from Whiskey Peak as well," Zala said.

"That maybe Ben as well," Mikita replied.

"A man who can entice girls and women alike. He sounds dangerous," Zala said. Zala ran up and jumped in the air. She dive kicked Mikita. Mikita dodged. 

"You have not met him and you are already enthralled with him," Mikita said. 

"He sounds interesting for sure," Zala said. 

"Crocodile has never told you anything about his true plans. Ben will, he will take your advice. He will help you, he will help us," Mikita said. 

Zala laughed. "I guess so with you, Marianne and maybe Robin all joining him. I can as well but do you think he will accept him," Zala said. 

Mikita walked up to Zala. "He will," Mikita said and hugged her friend. Zala hugged back. She wondered what man could win her friend`s heart. She seems calm, more friendly and approachable. Is tamed the right word, she thought. Also his crew seems to be all women and they get along and trust each other. This will be a new chapter in her life if, no, when Ben wins.
