Zoro turned a corner and frowned at the familiar surroundings in front of him. "Who the hell keeps moving that boat?!" He scratched his head frustratedly.

The gondola had been making the green haired male very confused as he kept seeing it for the past twenty minutes, no matter which street he took he always ended up seeing that stupid boat.

He knew it was the same one because of the painting of a pink and a blue Yagara Bull inside a heart on the side of the boat and the broken oar that sat in the center, the rope that tied it to the dock was green.

A seagull perched itself on the bow of the gondola and tilted its little white head to the side, seeming to have caught interest of the man that had been showing up to his boat for a while now.

Zoro sighed in annoyance, cursing at whoever moved the buildings and the boat.

"I don't have time to play hide and seek with you guys!" He groaned to Nami and Chopper who still weren't found, so he was receiving strange glances from the citizens for talking to himself.

"Dammit all!" He growled and turned a corner, stomping his way to the streets.

In the messy grounds of Scrap Island, Law was kicking pieces of wood away from his path. Usopp stayed closed behind and looked around frantically for any signs of an ambush.

"H-Hey, maybe we should go b-back!" He stuttered and gripped behind Law's yellow hoodie.

Law scowled at him and swatted his hand away. "We just got here, Long Nose-ya." He sighed and continued to walk around.

Pieces of ship masts littered the area and he could see a few cannons here and there. "Scrap Island seems to describe this place perfectly." Law comments, stopping in front of the half broken ship by the shore.

"What is that?" Usopp tilted his head at the ship's figure head. It was a large black cat head. Something about it seemed... Familiar somehow.

A long raking sound scraped the wood behind him. Law turned around and blinked at the noise and frowned, "Someone is here."

Usopp flinched and swallowed, slowly turning his head to look behind him.

Silver claws reached out to scratch at his face, but were met with a long blade of a sword blocking it. Usopp screamed and fell backwards and landing on his butt.

Law smirked at the attacker, "Interesting choice of weaponry."

The man only had a cold stare, black hair swept back and glasses glinting dangerously. His pale skin contrasted to the dark aura that he carried with him. "I don't like having small chats with my victims. Time is essential."

"V-Victims?!" Usopp panicked and looked to Law.

"The only victim around here is you." He replied smoothly and pushed his blade against the claws, creating an opening for him to attack from below. He kicked the man's leg and used his free hand to land a punch to his face.

The man crashed through the wood. His skin scratching the sharp edges and leaving drops of blood on them, speckles of his crimson liquid splattered the ground.

Usopp clapped at his partner, stars in his eyes, "Awesome!!"

"DON'T BE ALL IMPRESSED! GET IN HERE!" Law yelled.

The man growled as he got up. Blood trailing down his left eye as he glared at Law and Usopp. "You're going to die for that." He declares and ran forward, swiping at Law who dodged and blocked his attacks with ease.

"You were planning on killing us either way!" Law remarks as he ducked down, the sharp claw blades missing his head by a centimeter, and placing a hand on the man's stomach.

A smirk crept to his lips as he breathed, "Counter Shock".

Usopp gaped at the man with claws as his body was surging and shaking violently with electricity. He was so relieved that someone like Law was with him or he would have been ripped to shreds right about now.

As the attacker's body fell limp and on his back to the ground, Law turned to Usopp to check for any serious injuries. Luckily, there were none, however, his long nose partner had this weird look of newfound respect for him which sorta creeped him out.

" Long Nose-ya, stop staring at me like that. It's disturbing." Law says with a frown.

Usopp was grinning like a fanboy and had stars in his eyes. "So cool!" He applauded, earning an eye roll from Law. "Why does (Name)-ya have such weird friends?" He muttered questioningly to himself as he began to walk away.

Usopp started to follow, but flinched when the man lying on the ground got up on his feet. He raised a hand, blades glinting in the sunlight as Law blinked at the shadow behind him. He turned around to see the claws slashing down towards him.

"LAW, MOVE!!!" Usopp yelled.

But Law was surprised from the unexpected attack, as well as the fact that the attacker was still able to move at all, and just stood there frozen.

"DIE!!!" As his attacker yelled the words, a powerful blast knocked him out from behind and he fell face flat on the ground, unconscious.

Law blinked and looked up from the body, staring at Usopp who was panting from shock, his gun barrel smoking from the strong blast of his bullet. "What... Was that?" Law asked him.

Usopp lowered his gun and meekly scratched the back of his head. "Th-That was my special exploding star..." He laughed weakly, seemingly embarrassed.

"I... Actually have this knack for making ammunition out of nothing." He twirled the gun in his index finger and grinned proudly. "I don't even need to load a gun, the bullets are all made from here." He tapped the side of his head twice.

Law smirked and nodded, "Heh. Perhaps having weird friends isn't so bad after all."
