"Alright. It should be clear from the actions of the two assassins...Caesar plans to kill both you and White Hunter's G-5, and then take the kids back. He'll keep coming until he gets what he wants" the surgeon told. "Four years ago, as a former Government scientist, he was judged a criminal after the accident. If word gets out that there are people on this island, which is supposed to be off-limits to everyone, then he'll lose this perfect hideout. That's why he'll do everything he can to kill you. He has a bounty of 300 million beli. He possesses weapons of mass destruction as well as the powers of the Gas-Gas Fruit, a Logia. That's the Caesar Clown we're dealing with"
"300 million..." muttered Nami.
"People who can't wield Haki should definitely stay away from him. He isn't your average scientist"
"Our Haki users are me, Zoro, Sanji and Yukiko. And you, I guess" Luffy said.
"That should be enough" spoke Law. "I'll head to the laboratory first"
"Then when we get there, we'll all kidnap Master together"
"That's right"
"But...what do you mean by kidnap?" inquired Franky.
"For ransom? But wouldn't Master have the money?" added Usopp.
"If you kidnap him, who's going to pay us?" asked Nami.
"The objective isn't money. It's confusion" replied the young man, and the others stared at him like he had a second head.
'Confusion? Not money? He's up to something....' Yukiko thought.
"Well, I think you reached it with us here..." Yukiko sweatdropped. "What do you mean by that?"
"There's no point in talking about it, until we succeed, Beast-ya" said coolly the Surgeon of Death. "Focus on capturing Caesar Clown. It won't be easy. When the time comes, I'll lay out the entire plan to everyone. But once we succeed in capturing Caesar, the situation's naturally going to be chaotic. When that happens, there's no turning back. I guess this is our last chance to change our minds"
"It's fine. I'll work with you" replied Luffy without a moment of hesitation.
"In that case, I also accept your wishes. Make sure to convince the rest of your crew as well"
Yukiko shook her head as she knew what would happen next.
--------
In the process, Yukiko got separated, but it was a good thing as Ceaser and Vergo were instructed by Doflamingo to get her.
Alive.
And in the progress many things happened.
The children running wild, Mocha learning what was going on, and even sacrificing herself to keep the others from eating the drugs.
After the G-5 gave the sedatives to the children, Yukiko reunited with the group who moved to the building R, the location of the last exit. You all followed a long hallway that led to other parts of Tower B, until reaching another that seems to lead you deeper in the laboratory.
Suddenly, the building shook wildly under unknown circumstances. The children let out cries of surprise, falling down with the rest of the G-5.
"The ceiling lifted up just now!" exclaimed Sanji.
"What happened just now?!" said Nami, staring up.
'Was that Law's doing?' Yukiko thought.
"The gas has started flowing in from the cracks!" warned Robin, pointing at the purple smoke that was slowly advancing toward you all.
"This is bad..." Melissa gritted her teeth, taking a step back. "Everyone, get to R Building now!"
"Run!" added the navigator.
"But I'm scared, Sis!" sobbed a little girl.
"I can't run anymore!"
"We have no time for wimping out, kids! Stand up and move!" shouted the chef.
"Don't give up, everybody!" encouraged Nami.
Keep heading straight, everyone! R Building is close!" yelled the voice of Usopp through a transponder.
"We're almost there! You can make it!" spoke Nami, turning to gaze at the children.
"Luffy!" Yukiko called, and her boyfriend turned, a smile appearing on his face as he waved at you.
"Yukiko! You're here already with the others!"
"Oh, Brownbeard! Is it okay?" asked the navigator when she arrived on the scene, walking in the direction of the pirate unconscious on the floor.
"Nah. He isn't" Thankfully, Yukiko got Rubius to put him in the cart.
"The children!" exclaimed a younger voice that came from a small, pink dragon next to the ebony male.
"See, Momo? I told you!" chuckled Luffy.
---------
With Nami's help to generate wind, they all made it outside away from the gas.
"We made it!!!" cheered the kids in unison with the G-5.
"Finally! I was getting tired of waiting!" waved the cyborg.
"AH!" exclaimed Luffy when he got a good look of Franky.
Stars replaced his eyes and he threw his arms in the air like the kids, the same happening to every guy except for Smoker and Law, and the whole female population. The General didn't hesitate to show his assets and impress the boys. The surgeon took a step forward, and narrowed his eyes at two people, Buffalo and Baby 5.
"Buffalo! Baby 5!" he shouted.
"Law! Are you really going to stand against Joker?!" the weapon girl yelled back.
"You traitor!" growled the fan man. "Joker is still saving the 'heart seat' for you!"
"Who are they? Are they your friends?" asked Luffy with a raised brow, kneeling on top of the edge of the mine cart.
"No. They are enemies!" Rebecca gritted her teeth.
Quickly, Baby 5 snatched Caesar unconscious form and jumped on top of Buffalo, the three of them flying away from the island.
"They took Caesar and ran!" shouted Usopp, before he took out his slingshot. "It's a sniper's work to take down a flying enemy!"
"Those bastards!" cursed Law, lifting his hand to use his Devil Fruit, but your captain stopped him.
"Don't worry. Usopp said he can handle it" smiled Luffy.
"Don't underestimate our sniper" added Zoro. "Even his nose is too long"
"THE LAST PART ISN'T NECESSARY!" barked the sniper.
"No way! If we let them get away, our plan is..." tried to argue the surgeon.
"You allied with us, didn't you? You saw what I did earlier. I need you to trust us a little bit" said Nami, stepping next to Usopp.
"Allied? What are you talking about?" the swordsman said, confused.
"I've been running around all this time so..." trailed Nami, licking her lips. "....I feel like attacking now! I'm not afraid of enemies who are far away and have no intention to fight!"
"On top of that, they're wounded and turning their backs on us!" enriched Usopp.
With Nami and Usopp's skills, they got Ceaser, Buffalo and Baby 5, preventing their escape.
------------
Before Law knew it, the Strawhats decided to have a short party to refuel.
Yukiko and Melissa even had their Pokémon do some tricks to entertain the kids and marines.
The samurai and the dragon, who turned out to be Momonosuke, was amazed by these creatures as well.
Cue Sparks.
Meganium the Herb Pokémon
The fragrance of Meganium’s flower soothes and calms emotions. In battle, this Pokémon gives off more of its becalming scent to blunt the foe’s fighting spirit. Its breath has the fantastic ability to revive dead plants and flowers.
Togekiss the Jubilee Pokemon
Known as a bringer of blessings, it’s been depicted on good-luck charms since ancient times. It will never appear where there is strife. Sightings of this Pokémon have recently become rare.
Slowking the Royal Pokémon
Slowking undertakes research every day in an effort to solve the mysteries of the world. However, this Pokémon apparently forgets everything it has learned if the Shellder on its head comes off.It has incredible intellect and intuition. Whatever the situation, it remains calm and collected.
Magmortar the Blast Pokémon
When Magmortar inhales deeply, the fire burning in its belly intensifies, rising in temperature to over 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit. Living in the crater of a volcano has caused this Pokémon’s body to resemble its environment—it has an organ similar to a magma chamber.
Miltank the Milk Cow Pokémon
It produces over five gallons of milk a day. The higher the quality of the pastures it lives in, the richer and tastier its milk becomes.This Pokémon needs to be milked every day, or else it will fall ill. The flavor of Miltank milk changes with the seasons.
Tyranitar the Armour Pokémon
If it rampages, it knocks down mountains and buries rivers. Maps must be redrawn afterward.Tyranitar is so overwhelmingly powerful, it can bring down a whole mountain to make its nest. This Pokémon wanders about in mountains seeking new opponents to fight.
Reshiram the Vast White Pokémon, a Legendary Pokémon and one of the Tao Trio.
Flames spew from its tail as it flies through the sky like a jet airplane. It’s said that this Pokémon will scorch the world. According to myth, if people ignore truth and let themselves become consumed by greed, Reshiram will arrive to burn their kingdoms down.
Kyurem the Boundary Pokémon
Dwelling within it is a power even greater than that of Reshiram or Zekrom, but the extreme cold keeps that power bound. It appears that this Pokémon uses its powers over ice to freeze its own body in order to stabilize its cellular structure.
Froslass the Snow Land Pokémon
After a woman met her end on a snowy mountain, her regrets lingered on. From them, this Pokémon was born. Its favorite food is frozen souls.
It spits out cold air of nearly −60 degrees Fahrenheit to freeze its quarry. It brings frozen prey back to its lair and neatly lines them up.

Melissa giggled as she gave him some soup.
With a chat with Tashigi, she agreed to help get the children cured and return them home.
After the party, the Strawhats, Law, and Melissa had to get going.
"Take care!!" Luffy waved wildly at the children.
"Oi, Straw Hats! If the tanker is ours, this is the line!!"
A G-5 painted a black line between the tanker and the Sunny, separating the Marine's side and The pirates. Luffy raised a confused brow, eating down the meat he was keeping in his mouth.
"Don't think of crossing it! This is the line between good and evil!"
"Don't step on it! Stay away!"
"Again?! You were enjoying the banquet a few minutes ago" groaned Luffy.
"While we thank you for the meal, and helping us, we are still marines and pirates." they bowed in unison to this ridiculous scene.
A loud sound came from the ship, signaling it was ready to leave. Then, the G-5 lifted connected flags with the Marine logo on them, creating a barrier of sort. It hid your group from the children's view, who wondered where you all have gone to. Of course, as the Marines continued to keep the kids away, it only fueled to their frustration.
One of the men had enough, and fired at the sky.
"If you wanna say goodbye to pirates, you're a bad kid! If you say 'Thank you' to them, we'll drag you out of the tanker and leave you here!" threatened the one who used the gun.
"Listen! Pirates are bad, and the Marine is good!"
"Pirates have been causing so much chaos in the world! You should know that even if you're just a kid!"
"We'll never forgive pirates! Because we should not!"
They chanted the word of 'Unforgivable' and how bad pirates were, making a few children cry and sob uncontrollably. The G-5 kept on praising the Marine, while degrading everything that made a pirate.
"Pirates stink and they're disgusting! But the Marine is always clean and beautiful! Pirates are a bunch of cowards and they're sloppy! But, in contrast, the Marine is....very brave and righteous...-!"
"Stop it, you guys!" snarled Tashigi from the tanker, tears threatening to fall. "SHAME ON YOU!!"
This silenced all of them. Though, it's only then she remarked how they were trying their best to not cry too.
"But Tashigi-chan, unless we keep saying bad things about them, we will start..." trailed a man, tears leaking from his eyes at the same time they descended the barrier. "...liking these outlaws!!"
"Even though they're pirates!"
The G-5 became a crying mess, and Smoker couldn't help but facepalm hard. Tashigi blinked, before she let out a giggle.
"Shishishi! They are odd Marine soldiers!" grinned Luffy as Yukiko giggled.

I know it's not much action, but I managed to get there.....
Next week I'll be on Thanksgiving Break so I'll do more of this story!
Now.......
I'll be making a
Xiaolin Showdown Crossover! It was one of the few shows I enjoyed as a kid, and I figured why not.
Plus, think of the chaos Luffy and his crew will unleash on the villains!
How should the villains react to Luffy being a rubberman and Yukiko being a crystal woman?
And reactions from Omi, Kimiko, Clay, Raimundo, and Dojo?
Plz comment!
