- Dan-da-da-da-dan-da-da-da-dan-dan-dan-dan ...

- Luffy-aniki, why attack at three in the morning if you weren't going to launch a surprise attack anyway ?! - Johnny exclaimed almost in despair when, about five hundred meters from the nearest ship, Luffy took out a megaphone and began ... began ... well, he began to loudly da-da-da-dunk into the megaphone. - And didn't you say that we shouldn't let them run away? !!

After all, life is a really unpredictable thing. Only a year and a half ago, free, not obeying anyone, Johnny and Yosaku hunted various small bipods, and rarely received more than a hundred thousand bellies as a reward. The appearance on the horizon of pirates or bandits, whose heads were estimated by the Marines at more than a million bellies, made them pretty nervous. Any potential fights that surpassed the "two on one" or "two on two" format were also made nervous. Johnny and Yosaku wanted to become bounty hunters from their very childhood, so we can confidently say that their whole life, until their fateful meeting with Zoro, or is it more correct to say the fateful meeting with Luffy? - was measured and predictable. Now what? Now both guys were following their unambiguously insane captain, could use ten thousandth bills as handkerchiefs and considered it quite normal for four people to attack ten thousand pirates.

- Dan-da-da-da-dan ... - Luffy continued, as if nothing had happened, yelling into megaphone.

Neither Johnny nor Yosaku had any idea what exactly the motive that their captain was repeating meant, but his voice literally rang with delight.

- I always wanted to do this! - Luffy stopped wailing and turned to Johnny and Yosaku, who are now working hard with oars. - It's good that Nami found a megaphone, otherwise I didn't know that we had it! If not for her, then we would have had to attack secretly, like some idiots, because yelling without a megaphone would not be cool at all.

Quite frankly, when Johnny, Yosaku, and Nami began to rescue things from the half-drowned-cut-exploded "Thing", they found more than just a megaphone. The habit of pulling whatever they liked from pirate ships had quite definite consequences - none of them knew how much of all sorts of things were actually stored in the "Wooden Box". And most of this stuff was such an unimaginable crap that the question arose: who even had the idea to drag this or that thing onto "Thing"? The megaphone taken from Nami - through which, it should be noted, the girl started yelling at Luffy when he returned with Zoro - was at least useful ... if Luffy did not decide to use it to inform the majority of Craig's fleet of their arrival.

- But don't worry, - Luffy continued, - the people attacking under "Flight of the Valkyrie" always win because they are divinely cool and unrealistically pretentious. It's like an invulnerability cheat! So come on, sing along! Dan-da-da-da-dan ...

Seeing more and more glowing lights appearing on the surrounding ships as they approached, Johnny's expression became more and more unhappy.

- At such moments, I'm really ashamed to call him my captain, - Johnny admitted with a heavy sigh. - And in general, how is he not ashamed of himself? He looks like a complete idiot! - speaking in a whisper, when Luffy yelled in a full voice and a megaphone, it was quite difficult, but the guy coped.

- Because, no matter how he looks, Luffy-aniki is absurdly strong, - remarked Yosaku, who, unlike his friend, treated everything that happened with a feeling of mild fatalism. Sadness, of course, the behavior of his captain drove him, but not as much as Johnny. - Plus, I'm trying to think of it this way: what other captain, attacking the whole pirate fleet with only four man, can turn this into a complete entertainment for himself? There are definitely no more such in East Blue.

- You know, if you look at the situation from this angle, then our captain, and we ourselves ... listen, we are really cool! I mean, we're going to fight ten thousand pirates, and not in a hopeless battle, but in a battle that we initially consider won!

- And what am I talking about? So come on, sing along ... dan-da-da-da-dan ...

- Well done Yosaku! - immediately followed by praise from Luffy. - Ryu, don't skip too!

- Ugh ... are we really going to do this? - Oh ... okay ... to hell with you ... dan-da-da-da-dan ...

- Keep it up guys! Zoro, what about you? - a couple of times he hit the swordsman with his heel, on which the guy was standing all this time. - Gag or not gag, sing along too! The more voices, the cooler it looks and sounds! And in general, from now on "Flight of the Valkyrie" is considered a fighting song of our family! Dan-da-da-da-dan ...

Johnny and Yosaku, not ceasing to "tune" in time to Luffy, looked a little cautiously at another of their aniki. Zoro lay in the bow of the boat and looked like a cuckoo caterpillar - so tightly he was wrapped in a chains strengthened with Luffy's haki. Zoro's mouth was capped with an impromptu gag made from a bandana belonging to the swordsman himself. Zoro was lying on his stomach, on his back stood enthusiastically "da-da-danking" into megaphone Luffy, and the swordsman himself, slightly turning his head, did not take his unblinking gaze from Luffy. Several hours had passed, but the eerie, inhuman, red glow from Zoro's eye was in no hurry to go anywhere. Luffy, unsurprisingly, didn't care at all.

By the time it was about thirty meters left to sail to the nearest ship, as many as three searchlights were directed at their small boat, and several thousand pirates who were extremely dissatisfied with the night awakening of pirates crowded on the ships themselves. The disgruntled roar stood up to the skies, as well as the calls to immediately deal with "these idiots."

Twenty meters before the ship, Luffy stopped "da-danking" into megaphone and signaled with his hand to Johnny and Yosaku to shut up and dry the oars.

- Hello Hello! - again bringing the megaphone to his mouth, the guy spoke. - This is Luffy speaking ... no, no! Zorri is speaking to you! I repeat Zorri, not Luffy! Remember everything? And so, Zorri is talking to you!

- Yes kill him already someone, I want to sleep !!!

- So, I have a business proposal for you! I invite you all to surrender immediately, and then quietly wait for the long ago called ships of the patrol, and then I promise you that no one will die or suffer today! Zorri really answers!

-… BWAHA-HA-HA-HA !!! - there was a deafening laughter of several thousand pirates. If by this minute at least someone else was asleep, then now he is definitely awake.

- Luffy-aniki, you didn't think they would really give up, did you? - Johnny asked doubtfully. Doubtful, because with Luffy you could never be one hundred percent sure of anything.

- Will they surrender? Of course not! But now neither the marines nor the heavenly office will be able to accuse us of senseless genocide of people. In response to any of their accusations, we can always say that we offered the pirates a choice ... By the way, a small change in plans. Yosaku, you, as before, attack in the center and move towards Craig's base on the coast. If you find yourself there first, then do not stop and attack the base itself.

- Got it.

- Ryu, you'll help me sink all the outer ships. Zoro and I will go to the left, and you to the right. When you finish sinking all the outer ships, start sinking all the others. No ship should remain intact!

- So what, we just miss the opportunity to make money? - Johnny couldn't believe his ears.

- Today we work not for money, but for reputation, so forget about money ... ugh ... no, don't forget about money, just ... we'll just return all the money later ... someday ... with the help of reputation ... yes, precisely with the help of earned reputation ! Think of today's battle as an investment in our future! We will definitely somehow compensate for this battle in the future ... we will find gold ... a lot ... the whole city ... have you heard about the golden city? So we will definitely find it ... or emerald ... or diamond ... in short, we will definitely find some! And if we do not find, then we will rob ...

- Got it, got it! - Johnny raised his hands apologetically. - I understood everything, understood! - he began to make soothing gestures with his hands. - Today we are not losing money, but investing! Then we will definitely get even more in future!

- Yes, absolutely! - clenching his hand into a fist, Luffy said forcefully. - Definitely!
