Fight at Whiskey Peaks..

[meanwhile: back in the present day at whiskey peaks]

Valora and Lana was in a stand of with the two top agents of Baroque works named Miss Valentine and Mr. Five. As Valora was sizing up her opponents she remained wary of the Mermaid that was standing to her left. Lana was standing in a battle stance and holding a staff with a large bright blue gem at the top.

                  "Why are you helping Fishwoman?" Valora asked through gritted teeth.

                  "The one named Sanji is special to me and I must protect him." Lana responded confidently, "Also he invited me to join the crew so I don't want anything bad to happen to my new crewmates if I can help it."

Valora rolled her eyes but decided to trust this Fishwoman for now, "You know how to use hydrokinesis?"

Lana nodded and Valo.ra got an idea, Valora then said,"Ok then let's combine our talents and leave them wishing they stayed home."

Lana looked at Valora in surprise but smiled as she was most likely thinking the same thing.

                    "Looks like we got another creature to fry, Miss Valentine." said Mr. Five with a smirk as he picks his nose.

                     "It would appear so and look, she thinks she's a wizard or something, hahahaha!" laughed Miss Valentine as she twirled her umbrella as it rested on her shoulder.

Lana clenched her jaw in irritation and tightened her grip on her staff. Valora let a growl loose from her throat and then let her fist get engulfed in flames as she then threw a fireball straight at the smug Miss Valentine.

                         "You human filth wanna fight then I will be happy to oblige!" Valora shouted as she then flies at full speed hugging the ground towards the smug human woman, Valora calls over her shoulder as she flies, "Fishwoman! Take care of that arrogant male and you'll be an honorary member of the crew in my eyes!"

Lana smiles deviously as she takes off at an amazingly fast speed towards the man named Mr. Five. Since Lana is of the Fishman race she is naturally faster and stronger than the average human but since she was a female she had magic powers which put her a step above the rest of the Fishman race. With this knowledge now it should be obvious how this battle is going to turn out but for the sake of content let's see how it goes. 

Lana runs up at the man named Mr. Five and immediately swings her staff at him which he quickly yet barely dodges. Then Mr. Five Flick what appeared to be a booger at her and with Lana being grossed out by that she screamed at him and pointed her staff at him which in turn caused a bunch of water from a nearby barrel to shoot itself right at him causing him to be shot straight into a wall of a building. Just as that happened the woman named Miss Valentine went shooting into the building next to the one Mr. Five crashed into, with a smoke trail following behind her.

Valora landed with a loud thump on the ground next to Lana and chuckled a bit, "Did the puny man give you much trouble young one?"

Lana shook her head, "Not at all, though he flicked a booger at me which was super gross so I blasted him with water from a nearby barrel… Do you think he has some sort of power?"

Valora looked at Lana with a shocked expression before she suddenly burst out laughing, "Of course he has powers! The woman could float and humans normally can't do that, so logic depicts that the man has some sort of power too! I think you made the safe choice in counterattacking without finding out whether or not he had a power… very warrior-like if you ask me."

Lana gave a broad smile from ear to ear, "Does this mean I am part of the crew now?!"

Valora gives a wry smile and ruffles the young Fishwoman's hair, "I can't make the final decision but I won't stop you from joining… or pursuing the cook in the crew."

Lana giggled slightly as she blushed, "Thank you Miss."

Valora chuckles and says, "My name is Valora Nebulana, we should know each other's name if we are going to be crewmates."

Lana smiles gently as she then says, "Right, My name is Lana Silverfin, and I hope we can be good friends."

The two smile at each other until the guy named Mr. Five gets to his feet, he then shouts at them, "Listen here ya' freaks of nature! We didn't come here to fight you! Just step aside and let us get to the target we came here for, then we will be on our way..."

Both Valora and Lana narrow their eyes in suspicion at the two weird strangers. Just then the tubed haired guy named Mr, Eight gets up real quick and runs over to Valora and Lana.

"Madams! I beg of you! You must protect the princess! We shall pay you handsomely if you succeed in returning her to our homeland of Alabasta!"

"Igarome of Alabasta security and Princess Vivi Nefertari of Alabasta kingdom." Mr. Five shouted as he held up a picture that looked like Miss Wednesday but in different clothes, "For crimes against the company of baroque works you are here by to be-"

"WOULD YOU JUST SHUT THE HELL UP!!" shouted Valora which caused Mr. five to flich slightly, "NO ONE CARES ABOUT WHAT YOU TWO NUMB SKULLS ARE HERE FOR!! What I do care about is an innocent princess getting slaughtered for no reason... that I can't stand to let slide."

Valora's golden eyes began to glow an eeire yellow color as she gave a sinister smile towards the two strangers, then said with a primal growl in her voice, "So if you want this princess... come and get her."
