Your POV:

Nami: Explain yourself ! I don't understand this at all ! From the moment you were swatted away by the lion and came back unscathed !! this isn't humanly possible !! How the hell did you just swell up like a balloon ?!

Luffy: That's the "Gum-Gum balloon" !!

Nami: I'M NOT ASKING FOR THE NAME !! YOU MONSTER !

Baggy: HA HA HA !! You're chatting around making a lot of noise, like you're not scared...

"Because we're not. You're not really scary yourselves."

Nami: Using their own crew as shields... !

Cabaji: This is the biggest humiliation we've ever received under our pirate flag, captain !

Baggy: I'm so mad, words fail me...

Morge: Dammit... I was unconscious... What is this, this mes...

Cabaji: Morge... So you're still alive...

Morge: Cabaji ! You, what the heck did you do to Richie ?!

Cabaji: Ah, this kitten ? I was afraid my clothes might get a little dirty, so I just used him as a shield.

Morge: Hey, Richie !! You okay ?! Cabaji, you bastard !!!

Morge: EHCK !! These kids !! Captain Baggy, be careful of these kids !! the strawhat gained powers from the devil's fruit ! He's a rubber-man !! And the white-haired one is a psychic !!

Nami: Rubber-man ?!

Luffy: Yeah, look...

Baggy: Devil's fruit, and a psychic... That's why they could escape us like that, and bounce back the Baggy special cannonball... But Morge, If you knew that already... WHY THE HECK DIDN'T YOU TELL ME EARLIER !!!

Morge: BUT, I DID !!

Morge: OOOOAAAAHH !! Get out of the way !

"You get out of our way."

Not even bothering controlling him, I simply placed a single bone in his path, effectively stopping him.

"Now the fight has begun !"

Cabaji: Baggy's pirate crew commander, Cabaji the acrobat !! I'll avenge the pain you've caused to our crew !!

Zoro: if it's swords, I'm all for it.

Cabaji: It's an honor, Roronoa Zoro... As a swordsman I get to slay you...

Zoro may be confident about that, but the wound he sustained sooner was throbbing already, and could reopen at any instant now.

"Zoro, I think it's better if we do it. You should take a rest now."

Cabaji: 'It's the wound he got from fighting the captain... So he's been taking the pain to stay standing up, such a fool !' ha ha... Acrobat technique, "fire trick" !

Blinded by the fire, Zoro couldn't dodge or parry the next hit, not to mention his opponent purposely aimed for his wound.

Zoro: KUAAAHCK !!! Damn it !!

Cabaji: Eh ? What's this ? I didn't even kicked you that hard, did I ?

Nami: You dirty bastard !! Aiming to the wounded area !!

Cabaji: Acrobat technique, "Murder Mist trick" !

Zoro: Some trick... It's just a cloud of dust !!

Cabaji: He he he... Wide open, Roronoa Zoro !!

*SBUNK !!*

Cabaji: GYAAAAAAAAAHH !!

"Someone like you, who don't hesitate to strike an already open wound, isn't even worthy of being called a trash."

In place of Zoro, there was a bone sticking out of the ground, and judging by the sound it just made, it broke a few of Cabaji's toes.

Cabaji: AAAAAHCK !!

Nami: That bastard tried it again !!

Cabaji: W-What's wrong ? A grown man rolling around crying out loud is absolutely pathetic to watch... Because of your partners' odd powers we've suddenly gone to pieces. Even though you're a pirate hunter, making the Baggy pirate crew your enemy was a big mistake.

Zoro: Y/n... Put me down, this is my fight...

Nami: Don't do that ! Fighting with that injury was already too much from the start !!

But I did it nonetheless, and of course, Cabaji didn't waited to attack.

Cabaji: Roronoa Zoro !! Go to the next world !!!

Zoro: What an annoying guy !! Do you find tearing up my wound that much fun ?!

Cabaji: What ?! He cut himself ?!

Zoro: HUF ! My goal it to become the world's greatest swordsman...

Cabaji: What the hell... ?!

Zoro: Is my condition satisfying enough for you ? Let me teach you the difference in level between us.

Luffy: Waaah... So cool !

Cabaji: Roronoa Zoro... You impudent fool !

Nami: Aah... just looking at him makes me feel like he's going to collapse any second...

Luffy: Go Zoro !!

Zoro: To anyone that calls himself a swordsman, I won't allow myself to lose even once to him.

Cabaji: Oho... You got a strong determination there, but don't worry. Fighting me with such a serious injury, you can use that s an excuse when I defeat you.

Zoro: Nonsense ! With this sort of injury, if I lose against the likes of you, my future carries an obvious fate...

Cabaji: ... You asshole... !

Nami: Hey ! Behind the destroyed pub there's a warehouse, their treasure is there. And the Grand Line map is probably still with Baggy. Since the pirates are still unconscious, I'll use the moment to slip over there, and after I acquire the warehouse's treasure, I'll make my escape. Since whether you win the fight or not has nothing to do with me, but if you actually manage to to fulfill your part and get the map, let's 'cooperate' again when that happens !

Nami: Then off I go ! I wish you a good fight !

Luffy: okay thanks.

'I still don't feel it... She'll back-stab us at some point...'

Cabaji: Take a taste of the best trick I have !! Acrobat technique ! "One Hundred Tops Typhoon" !!

Cabaji: Acrobat technique ! "Wall riding" !

Cabaji: Acrobat technique !! "Midsummer Firecrackers Ignition" !!

Luffy: Waaah, that's high !!

Cabaji: Direct stab !!

On the sidelines, a certain captain was currently about to intervene in the fight to ensure the acrobat's victory.

Baggy: Ground runner, Fragment cannon !! Cabaji ! I'll grab him in place, so finish Zoro off !!

Cabaji: Yes, captain !

Zoro: That bastard !!

However, the hand never it's destination. One blue light later...

Baggy: GAAAAAAHHH !! You assholes !!

Zoro: Luffy !

Luffy: Don't interfere with Zoro's fight !!

Cabaji: even without the captain's help, finishing you off will be a piece of cake !!

Even though he managed to dodge the direct hit, Zoro's state and wounds were worrying.

Zoro: Stop now... I'm tired...

Cabaji: You're tired ? Hahahahaha, are you getting anemia ? You've finally given up. Well, I suppose it was obvious ! I mean, it's a substantial effort you make just to stay standing.

Zoro: I meant I'm tired of being the opponent of someone who has such pitiful skills !!

Cabaji: Then let me finish you off now ! With my real sword skills !!!

Zoro: Oni...

Baggy: CABAJI !!

Cabaji: Damn it... the world's best pirates at the likes of a common thief... So shameful... !!

Zoro: Not a common thief... But a pirate !!

Zoro: Guys... I'm gonna sleep.

"Good for you, we'll finish this off."

Baggy: You mean you guys... Are pirates ?!!

Luffy: Yeah ! Now hand over the Grand Line map !!

Baggy: So that was your goal... That place isn't exactly somewhere nameless pirates like yourselves can go as they please, so what are you planning to do there ?! You wanna go and have a sightseeing tour ?!!

Luffy: I'm gonna become the pirate king.

Baggy: ... !

Baggy: Don't kid around !!! You, becoming the pirate king ?! Then I'm a god !! The person who'll get his hands on all the treasure in the world will be me !! Don't even dream about it !!!

Luffy: Shut up ! Skip the lecture and let's start !

"You're being too loud, hooter-face !"

Baggy: Watch your mouth, brats !! Seeing that straw hat reminds me of a guy I knew long ago. An impudent red-haired guy...

Luffy: Red-haired ?!

"Is he talking about... ?!"
