At first the train was slow going towing the Franky family and their boat which was carried by two king bulls "Hey monster granny so is this the fastest Rocketman can go? It's not very fast at all!"Luffy yelled over "Just hold your horses things will change once we hit the railway!"Kokoro yelled back and sure enough once they connected with the rail the Rocketman really took off.
Nicole yelped tripping onto Zoro and bringing him down with her "Would you get off?"Zoro asked once the train stabilized "No this is comfy"Nicole said cuddling him "Please take your flirting elsewhere"Nami sweatdropped "You're just jealous cause you and Sanji are still playing chicken"Nicole said getting off Zoro regardless and helping him up but she didn't go further then that.

"I thought i was a goner"Luffy and Chimney said "You almost were, i said if you don't come inside you're gonna get blown away"Kokoro said "That speed was crazy"Luffy said "Told ya" Kokoro said "Hold on a second there are a few more people in here then there should be"Zoro said Nicole on his lap to save on space, not that either were complaining "Yeah who do you mean?"the two extra guys from Galley La that had jumped on board asked.
"He means you!"Pauley yelled at them "I mean you too!"Zoro yelled at them "So anyway why are you here?"Nicole asked "I decided to come along with ya i tried but no matter what i said or did i couldn't stop you and the enemy you'd go through all of this to rescue your friend from is the exact same one that tried to kill Iceburg i gotta word or two of my own i wanna say to those bastards"Pauley said.
"Whew that really hit the spot man i was starving right so even though we got into a few fights back in town with both the Franky family and the Galley La shipwrights the enemy we're all going after here is one and the same now the strongest one the toughest out of all of them is definitely that pigeon guy, he's mine, i'm gonna beat the crap out of him"Luffy said.
"Luffy's right this is a battle to get back what those four goons from the world government took from us, so we either reach them in time or all of this will have been for nothing"Zoro said "Granny look it's aqua laguna"Chimney said "Oh it's here already?"Kokoro asked "Let me take a look"Nami said opening the window and getting a look.
"Hey shouldn't you be in the engine room right now you gotta find some way to dodge that gigantic wave"Nami said "Uh uh Rocketman can't be controlled remember we can't adjust the speed, use the brakes or change our course my job ended as soon as i got us up on the railway the trains lined up on the tracks running at full speed and there's nothing anybody can do to stop it"Kokoro said.
"Hey if we don't do something fast this trains gonna"Nami paused as Luffy held out his hand "Everybody on this train has the exact same goal, there's no point in fighting separately"he said "Yeah"the guy said "He's right"Pauley said and they joined hands "From this point forward we fight as one, there are two more of my crew on that other train once we caught up to them our fighting force will be even stronger, listen up we're not gonna let that big wave beat us we will achieve our goal, let's go!"Luffy said.

Just then the transponder snail Nami had started ringing "Hey guys it's from Sanji"she said "Nami, Nami can you hear me?!"Sanji asked "Yeah what's going on Sanji?"Nami asked "I've got some bad news things, have gotten complicated"Sanji said "What do you mean?"Nami asked, the crew could hear some noises from the background "Hey wait a sec what was that noise? Is someone there with you or something?"Nami asked.
"It's nothing just some dumbass"Sanji said clearly irritated from the tone of his voice "Say what? Sanji what's that noise?! Sounds like a bunch of screaming are you okay over there? What do you mean by dumbass?"Nami asked "Sorry dumb asses actually"Sanji said "Yeah yeah just get to the point"Nicole said.
"Right"Sanji said and made his report "I see so they still have Robin"Nami said "Sounds like things are pretty lively on your end too"Sanji said "Hey listen Sanji i need to tell you why Robin's doing all this"Nami said "She's doing it to protect us"Nicole cut in as Nami told the others to shut up "Pretty much but it's more complicated then that"Nami said and went to tell the whole story, Nicole rolled her eyes walking over to Luffy and Zoro.
"Hey can i go handle that?"Nicole asked referring to the wave "Aw but we were totally do this super awesome combo move!"Luffy whined "You can try it out later, i wanna do something too" Nicole said "Fine"Luffy said pouting a bit, Nicole just sighed before turning to Zoro "You're cool with it though right?"she asked "Yeah go for it"he shrugged.
Nicole smiled and kissed Zoro's cheek before climbing to the roof out the window "Alright boys you can stop wasting ammo now!"she yelled "And just what are you going to do?"Pauley asked, Nicole smirked drawing her swords "Just watch"she winked before turning to the wave, "We couldn't even dent that huge wave, what good are swords gonna do?"Pauley wondered.
His question was then answered as Nicole cut the giant wave before them in two and they made it their way through "We made it!"the others cheered as they continued their way, Nicole rolled her eyes a bit but with a smile as she put her swords away before climbing back in "Nice one Nicole"Zoro smirked, Nicole smiled back and the two high fived "I still say our thing would have been cooler"Luffy said still pouting.
"Luffy come here a sec"Nami called, Luffy walked over "Sanji wants to talk"Nami said, "That you Luffy?"Sanji asked "Yup it's me so you save Robin?"Luffy asked "No sorry 'fraid i'm still working on that one, Nami just told me why Robin surrendered and all that stuff so yeah i know whats going on"Sanji said "I see that's good, well anyway you know what's next go ahead give them hell Sanji"Luffy said.
"Hold on he'll die if he fights them now, if he wants to stand a chance he's gotta wait for us"Zoro said "Zoro it's fine, if it was you would you wait? If you were on that train instead of him and i told you Robin sacrificed herself to protect us would you sit there and do nothing? No use trying to stop him"Luffy said "Read me like a book, but thanks moss head i never knew you cared about me so much"Sanji said.
"I hope they kill you!"Zoro yelled, Nicole giggled a bit "Hey Sanji, just be careful kay?"she asked "Sure thing, anyway that settles it, i was willing to fight for Robin even before i knew the truth but now that i know how she really feels i wouldn't stop even if you begged me"Sanji said before the call came to an end "I hope he's okay on his own"Nami said.
Nicole smirked a bit and went to open her mouth "Don't even go there!"Nami yelled at her, Nicole just giggled and struck her tongue out "Granny hurry! Make the train go faster"Luffy said "Faster?"Kokoro asked "You know more like zoom!"Luffy said demonstrating by stretching his arm out "Oh don't you worry this baby is already going way faster then it was ever supposed to" Kokoro said.

The Strawhats were having a change of clothes cause they were soaked from all the rain and stuff, Nami was totally shamelessly changing out in the open, Nicole at least had a loyal boyfriend to cover her aka a Zoro shield as she changed her usual skirt to a dry one and a black tank top with Zoro's shirt thrown over as Zoro tossed on a yellow coat, Luffy just changed his pants and Chopper also threw on a coat.
"I'm starting to think you might actually pull this off you certainly seem riled up if nothing else" Kokoro said "You bet we are, those jerks got away with Robin last time but now that i know what's going on they don't stand a chance"Luffy said "I hope you're right because if you get stuck in something again you're gonna have hell to pay"Nami said.
"Nah don't worry i got a reason to beat the this time around"Luffy said "Hey did you change your weapon Nami?"Zoro asked "Oh no, it's pretty much the same one as before Usopp just improved it with some dials after we got back from Skypiea this is the perfect clima tact"Nami said.
"I see so that's his"Zoro trailed off "Right it's Usopp's uh, last work"Nami said getting suddenly depressed as she and Luffy sighed deeply "Don't get all sad now!"Zoro yelled at them, Nicole just giggled a bit.

"Hey hold on where did Luffy run off to?"Nami asked "He's going to the front of the train"Nicole said "Why would he go there?"Nami asked "Who knows but i guess it's fine as long as he doesn't fall in"Zoro said with a shrug "You just know that idiot will fall in"Nami said the others sighed and muttered in agreement.
~skip~
The others were goofing around as Nicole was taking a look at Kitetsu "It's totally fine"she smiled at Zoro handing it back "Thanks"he said putting the sword back "Hey check it out there's a train infront of us!"Luffy yelled "It's the Puffing Tom"the other said and head out to fight, Nicole didn't think they would have caught up by now and the others were crowding the way out.

Zoro came back in after cutting the train carts in two in addition to dealing with the marine that had been in their way "What's with you?"Zoro asked noticing a look in Nicole's eyes "I'm so turned on right now" she said, Zoro blushed "Keep it in your pants woman"he said looking away "Yeah take your flirting elsewhere"Nami said "You're just jealous cause you and Sanji are still playing chicken"Nicole said smirking at Nami as she blushed "Shut up!"she yelled.
Nicole smirked going to tease her more she was cut off as Zoro pulled her over holding her as he promptly took a nap using her lap as a pillow, Nicole just shrugged leaning back against the cart as she combed her fingers through his hair stopping his snoring.
