Chapter 224: What's next?

The explosion in the lab was clearly seen by the people who were on the outside.

Vice-Admiral Gion looked at the laboratory with worried eyes.

'Tashigi, Sebas…be okay…why can't I shake this bad feeling?'

"Something exploded inside the lab!" Buggy looked at the smoke coming from the back of the building.

"What do we do now?." Asked Brook.

Robin stood in silence,  thinking.

"We came here to capture Caesar, but he ended up in the hands of that marine."

She said very slowly while giving Gion a quick glance.

"If only Vivi, Sanji, and Zoro were here…"

"Yeah, where are those guys?" Asked Buggy.

"They went find the rest of that samurai's body. Maybe they have returned to the camp already," suggested Brook.

"If that is the case, it is going to take them a while to come here."

Her eyes went back to the place where the explosion occurred.

"Trafalgar Law had gone inside the lab, and so did the two Marine Captains from before."

"You think Law is fighting the Marines?" asked Brook.

Robin shook her head.

"Unlikely…the marines seemed more interested in stopping Caesar and his men than arresting us."

"Then it must be one of his men…" Buggy looked at the unconscious Caesar, who was still lying down next to the Vice-admiral.

He then saw something strange appearing in the sky behind her.

"What is that?" He pointed in the direction he saw the object.

Brook stared in the distance. "Let's see…that looks like…a fat guy with a rotor on his neck and two people standing on his back, a man and a woman." 

"That's so specific!, How is your eyesight so good?, You don't even have eyes?" exclaimed Buggy.

Brook turned to him and started in silence for a few seconds, making Buggy very uncomfortable.

"I don't know." He eventually said.

"The hell?!, what was that long pause for?!"

"I was just trying to look interesting." Brook scratched his head.

"Is that Zoro?" Said Robin.

"You are right!, that is the swordman, and who are the other two?" wondered  Buggy.

The big man landed close to them and started to scream at Zoro to get down.

Now that they could see it up close, they noticed that the flying man was covered in wounds.

Zoro got down and the woman followed him while grabbing his arm like an intimate lover.

"I'm finally here." Zoro looked around. 

"Zoro." Called Robin.

"Where are Vivi and Sanji?, And what about the samurai?" 

"Those guys haven't arrived yet? So I'm the first then." the swordsman smiled, looking very satisfied.

"Who is this? And why is she clinging to your arm?" Buggy looked at the woman at his side.

"Hello, beautiful lady." Brook was already next to her.

"Would you be so kind as to show me your panties?"

The girl looked at Brook with shock.

"Do you need to see my panties?...okay!" 

"Seriously?" Now it was Brook the one who was shocked.

"That line has never worked before."

"Baby 5, stop it!. We talked about this, remember?" The big man exclaimed.

"Oh, that's right!." She made a face of realization.

"I need to stop showing my panties to people who ask for it… even if they ask very politely." She poker herself on the head.

"Should that be common sense?" Wondered Buggy.

"I know those two!" Gion approached them.

"You are Baby 5 and Buffalo, members of the Dofflamingo family." 

"Eh?, A marine?!" Buffalo watched Gion with worry.

It was then that he saw the unconscious body of Caesar, the man they came to help.

"Oi, Baby 5, it may be better if we scoop from this place…"

"What?, I can't leave now, he needs me!" She clinged again to Zoro.

"Let me go, woman! I don't need you." Zoro complained and tried to free himself from her grasp.

"You got lost eight times, and even when we told you that the laboratory was in the frozen area of the island, you kept walking the wrong way. I have never met a man who needs me so much as you do!" she explained.

"Damn it! , now is not the time for this. Look!" Buffalo pointed to his right.

She followed the direction he pointed to and found Caesar.

"Mister Caesar!, he has been defeated?"

"Yes, and arrested. You two are also detained, by the way." Said Gion.

"What for?, We are part of the Dofflamingo family and he is a shichibukai,  you can't arrest us!" Exclaimed Buffalo.

"I said detained, not arrested. I have evidence that points at Dofflamingo and Caesar working in illegal experiments, as his family, you are of course under suspicion too," said Gion.

"Whoa, hold on, let's talk about this." Buffalo took a step back. 

"Get out of the way!" They all heard a loud shouting coming from inside the building.

"That sounded like… " Robin started.

The metal doors of the front entrance were opened with a strong slam and someone came running out of the facility.

"I have an injured lady here, don't get in my way!" 

Chopper ran with Tashigi(Vivi) in his arms while kicking the few masked guards who were starting to recover from being attacked by the slime and the straw hats.

"I told you that is not that serious already!" She shouted in frustration.

"Vivi, Sanji!" Brook called.

"You guys were inside already?" Zoro could not believe what he was seeing.

Then, a minute later came Law, followed by Franky(Tashigi)

"Tashigi, you made it back." Gion smiled for a moment before realizing something.

"Where is Sebas?."
