"Cuts and Justice"
While traveling on the train, Nami was talking to Sanji while he explained what happened during his journey with Franky and Usopp, and he asked for permission to attack.
Luffy agreed easily while Kara listened to everything.
"Is it okay, Luffy? That train must be full of marines and government officials?" Nami asked quickly.
"Let him do it. Robin lied to save our lives. No one could just sit and do nothing," Luffy said seriously.
"Understood," Sanji replied from the other side. "Beautiful Nami, are you worried about me?" he said lovingly.
"Just be careful, idiot," Nami replied quickly.
"But now that I understand Robin's feelings, even if it's the captain's order, I have no intention of stopping," Sanji said before the call cut off.
"Sigh. He chose a good group, but she keeps acting like a fool," Kara said softly.
Then, the train moved forward at speed as everyone prepared as much as possible.
Luffy was stuffing meat into his pockets. Zoro was looking at his swords. Chopper was preparing his medicine. Nami had gone to change for the battle, or rather, she was changing in front of everyone as if it didn't matter, while the members of Galley-La were covering their noses due to the nosebleeds.
"Perverts," Kara said quickly.
"You're not one to talk. Blood is dripping from under your mask," Pauli shouted angrily. "And you! How can you just change clothes right here? You're shameless!" he said, turning towards Nami.
"I had no other choice. There's only one carriage," Nami defended herself.
"And you guys too. People like you are why society is going downhill," Pauli said, glaring at the Franky Family sisters.
"Shut up, shy boy." "Shy boy," the two said as they looked at him with annoyance.
"Virgin," Kara said, joining the sisters, but sounding more violent.
"You damn...!" Pauli said, his fury reaching its peak.
Meanwhile, the others were playing for some reason, pretending to be Aqua Laguna and being defeated by Zoro and Luffy.
Until Zoro couldn't take it anymore and hit them all.
"We were bored," Chopper said as he rubbed his head from the blow, while the others nodded painfully.
"Hahaha, you're so serious, Zor… Zero," Kara said, almost saying Zoro's name, as they hadn't thought of their fake names.
"Zero?" Zoro said angrily, staring at Kara.
"So, that's your name. And what's mine?" Chopper asked quickly with excitement.
"Cannibal," Kara said proudly.
"Cannibal? Aren't I supposed to be a vegetarian?" Chopper said angrily, looking at Kara.
"Well, you had a pretty violent life, and now you want to change," Kara said quickly, looking away and playing dumb.
"Then, what's your name, damn it?" they both said angrily.
"Eloise," Kara said quickly with pride as she puffed out her chest.
"Who the hell is that?" they both shouted angrily.
"Hey guys! I see a train ahead of us," Luffy said from the roof, grabbing everyone's attention.
Then, everyone quickly climbed to the roof, excited for the fight.
But they realized it was just a carriage stopped on the tracks.
Everyone immediately worried as they crashed into it, destroying everything.
Meanwhile, Luffy jumped towards the carriages to see if Sanji and the others were there.
At that moment, Kara came out and climbed onto the roof.
"None of your companions are on that train. It's just government guys," Kara said as she looked towards the train.
"How do you know?" Pauli asked quickly.
"Because I'm strong," Kara replied simply. And then she looked in Zoro's direction.
"Straw Hat is still there!" shouted one of the Franky Family members. "It looks like his companions aren't there," he said while looking through binoculars and saw Luffy making signals.
"Looks like you were right, they're not in that carriage. It must be full of marines and government officials," said one of the Galley-La employees quickly, fixing his hair.
"Well, just cut it," Kara said, looking at Zoro.
"Alright," Zoro said calmly as he walked to the front of the train.
"What do you mean, 'alright'? It's an entire carriage!" everyone around them shouted.
"You all are so noisy," Kara said, looking at everyone.
Meanwhile, Zoro was focused as he held his two swords in their sheaths.
"NITORYUU IAI: RASHOMON."
With Zoro's slash, the two carriages that were connected were perfectly cut in the middle, while everyone could see the marines and government agents staring with fear and surprise.
The same look was on everyone else's faces, including the Galley-La guys, the Franky Family, and even Chopper.
Meanwhile, Kara had a soft smile.
Then Luffy jumped from the cut carriage onto the roof effortlessly, and the train continued on its course as if nothing had happened.
"That was awesome, samurai. Why don't you join my crew?" Luffy said quickly as he approached Zoro.
But Kara appeared behind him and quickly smacked him on the head.
"Don't try to steal my servants in front of me. I said followers," Kara said angrily.
"She said servants, right?" Chopper asked Zoro, who nodded with annoyance.
"Ouch, that hurt. Your punches are just like Kara's and the old man's," Luffy said, rubbing his aching head.
Meanwhile, Gin, who had been silent for quite a while, stared at Kara, Zoro, and Chopper. Thanks to what Luffy said, he realized something. But he quickly kept quiet.
"No wonder he's part of an S-Rank group from the bounty hunter guild," said Zambai, a member of the Franky Family, looking at Zoro with surprise.
Meanwhile, the carriages cut in half were left floating in the water as the marines helped those who had fallen climb back up.
As the train continued forward, the idiots on the roof kept playing as if they were being cut down by Zoro's attack, while Zoro remained standing at the front, serious.
"Looks like I'm not done yet," he said as he seriously looked at what appeared before him.
It was a Sea King sliced in half, even larger than the entire train they were traveling on.
"Something that big would definitely swallow the Rocket Man in a single bite," everyone said in shock.
Meanwhile, Kara was looking ahead with interest at the person standing on the tracks, staring in their direction.
As Zoro prepared for the fight, Kara gave him a tap on the shoulder.
"Leave this to me. We can't hurt a Marine colleague just because he has to follow stupid orders," Kara said as she walked forward.
The man then shouted as he drew his sword.
"I am a Marine Captain! I won't let you pass, and I'll cut you in half if necessary," he said quickly as he prepared himself.
"Captain? This guy feels strong," Zoro said quickly. After all, he also held the rank of captain right now, but he let Kara handle it.
"Sorry, Marine. But we have to keep going," Kara said calmly as she used Armament Haki on her hands.
"Come," T-Bone said, ready.
Then, T-Bone unleashed a flying slash shaped like a bird, while Kara leaped forward and destroyed the slash with a single punch. She charged towards T-Bone, who quickly tried to cut her with brute force, but Kara punched the sword, shattering it easily. With her other hand, she delivered an uppercut to his chin, defeating him in just a few seconds.
Then she jumped up and landed gracefully right in front of the others.
The others snapped out of their astonishment and started celebrating.
"I also defend justice, but this is far from it. I'm sorry," Kara said softly, watching T-Bone fall into the water. Obviously, Kara had only knocked him out for a moment, and he would surely regain consciousness after getting wet a bit, so he would be fine.
"Now that I think about it, I tend to hit more Marines than pirates," Kara said thoughtfully. "Doesn't matter, if I hit them, it's because they deserve it," she said calmly.
As they traveled peacefully, it seemed a new companion had joined them"a giant scarred frog wearing a loincloth. It tried to stop the train but ended up joining the others.
For some reason, it was sitting in front of Kara, who was looking at it with interest while she pondered.
"I already brought Hawk-Eye 2.0. I don't think they'll let me bring another one," she said, staring at Yokozuna with curiosity.
"You better stop thinking about those crazy ideas. The guys at the training camp said if you pulled something like that again, Old Man Zephyr would make you start training from scratch," Zoro said, using a threat Ain taught him, which would work to stop Kara from doing something foolish.
And this was the best moment to use it, since he didn't want a new companion to be a giant frog. The cat from Agalia was enough trouble.
Chopper felt like Zoro was thinking something insulting, so he looked in his direction.
