"10,000 kilo umbrella meteor!" Miss Valentine grunted her last attack, her body littered with blade wounds as she fell from the sky like a meteor.

Johnny panted, looking up. He raised his spear up and thrust it upwards with all of the strength he could muster.

Both the point of his spear and Miss Valentine's umbrella made contact, creating a large boom. The ground beneath Yosaku cracked in spider webs, due to the weight.

"Kyahahaha… you will die here, squished underneath my feet!"

But even with 10,000 kilograms behind it, the female agent was struggling until it finally cracked.

"I will never give up!" Johnny yelled as he pushed his body to it's limits, the muscles on his arms flexed up, inflated.

She smiled only for it to turn into horror when her umbrella broke and the spear went past her, missing her face by an inch. The last thing she remembered was Johnny kneeing her in the gut, before the world turned black.

With that the fight ended, Johnny landed on the ground on his knee while Miss Valentine fell to the ground, raising a dust cloud due to the heavy weight.

The fight was over, they had won. It wasn't that tough, yet it felt like quite the achievement. Fighting off grandline bounty hunters. And they were surprised when the surrounding public started cheering for them.

"See… the friends of the straw hats had it under control." One of them said.

"Yeah, they took down the Mr. 5 pair with minimal injury!" Another said, as all of them clapped.

All the bounty hunters that had gathered were cheering for them as they won. Johnny wanted to stand up, but almost fell due to exhaustion. But Luffy was there to help him, putting his arm over his shoulder, he helped him stand up.

"Uh… thanks, Big Bro Luffy." Johnny said, smiling a bit. "I didn't lose."

"Like I said, it would have been a shame if you did." Luffy grinned back.

Johnny chuckled, before looking around the crowd. "But what should we do about this…?"

"Just wave, boys. Just wave." Luffy said smiling as he waved to the surrounding bounty hunters who for some reason were cheering them on. Johnny didn't know why, but he followed his teacher/captain's command and waved, the cheers getting louder.

Yosaku was also lost in awe, and had to be broken by Sabo, who gave him a thumbs up. Before he also started waving.

Both Johnny and Yosaku had a smile on their faces. So, that's what it was like, being a hero.

.

The people of Whisky Peak were in an uproar. Mainly because of the incident where Mr 5's group attacked the town. Many of their buildings that were near the plaza were destroyed and one of them, Miss Monday, had been killed in battle.

Luckily the straw hats were there to stop their terror and from anyone else from getting killed. All of the townspeople already had huge respect for the straw hat crew, and it grew even more.

But, all of them wanted to know the true story and they were eager to know it from Mr. 8, Mr. 9, and Miss Wednesday. Even though they were Baroque Works agents, they knew and trusted them more than the other upper ranks in the organization who didn't even bother meeting the lower ranks.

And so with Luffy's instruction, Igaram spun up a lie about how some of the agents from the upper ranks of Baroque Works had gone rogue and was trying to take over the organization, but nothing was heard from the top boss Mr. Zero.

As he might have already been killed.

And so Luffy and the rest of the straw hats promised to investigate the situation.

That was also why they were taking Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine with them, to hand them over to the marines. They might not be pirates, but they were criminals and they had around 17.5 million bounties on their heads.

So as Johnny and Yosaku were the ones to beat them, they would cash in the bounty.

Most of the residents of Whisky Peak knew that not all of the people that were on the Going Merry were part of the pirate crew. Mainly that Johnny and Yosaku were bounty hunters and friends of Zoro and Kuina. Same with Hatchan and the masked individual who also refused the claim of being a straw hat pirate.

But mainly Johnny and Yosaku stuck around cause they wanted to get into the grandline. So Luffy was only helping them cross the Reverse mountain. It also made the residents of the town appreciate Luffy even more, for helping fellow bounty hunters.

They already knew how unjustly Luffy and the rest of the crew were labeled pirates so they were happy to know that they were right about him. They even helped them pack up for the journey with tons of rations and other stuff.

With that Luffy and the rest of the straw hats along with Vivi, Mr 5, and Miss Valentine left for their next Island.

"I still can't believe that they bought the whole story," Vivi mumbled while the island of Whiskey Peak started getting smaller and smaller.

"Well, what else do you expect, sure there are holes in the story. But, first of all they don't even know who their boss is… and most of them worked with either your pair or the Mr. 8 pair. So they trust your words more than outsiders." Zoro said.

"Though, there is always a chance that one of the upper-rank agents from Baroque Works might come here and tell the full story," Coby said.

"Yeah, let's hope that doesn't happen," Vivi said, near Karoo, the super spot-billed duck. As both of them looked back at the island. "Igaram is still there… he said, he would do something about creating a fake trail for the others to follow…"

Vivi still couldn't believe what was happening. She wouldn't need to hide her identity anymore and with the Mr 5 pair taken care of she had less to worry.

And that's not including the fact that at breakfast, Sparky and Hatchan seemed to enjoy some otter and vulture meat. Who she was sure was from the Unluckies, Mr. 13 and Miss Friday.

All in all, all of this was feeling like a dream. And all of that happened because of the boy called Luffy. She just hoped he would be enough to stop the Warlord. She didn't want her people to suffer anymore. But at the same time, she didn't want to endanger her new friends.
