I'm no Looking Glass-One Piece-Chapter 31

Recap-“Hurry up damn it! I’m hardening!”

Zoro lifted one sword, a hand on his hip. “Zoro what are you doing?” Nami asked.

“If I’m going to be a statue I want to be in this pose.” He said.

You shook your head with a grin. “This is no time to be messing around!” Vivi said.

“I’m not messing around.” He said.

“More importantly, so something about your legs, it hurts just to look at them.” Nami said with her arms crossed.

“Then don’t look at them.” Zoro said simply.

“And anyway I told you it was stupid to try to cut off your legs and run away.” Nami said.

“I don’t think it would be running, besides, that wasn’t the plan.” You say with a grin.

Zoro turned his head to grin at you too. “Right. I was cutting them off so I could fight.” Zoro said.

“That’s even stupider, you’ve got to be kidding.” Nami said.

“Shut up.” Zoro said.

“Hey kid done struggling already?” Brogy asked, grinning.

“Yeah, seems it’s time to let someone else do the struggling.”

“I see.”

“Mr. 3, those people seem very relaxed.” a little girl that you just noticed said.

You looked to see that she was small with brown-red hair that was braided under a pink hat. She had a small rounded face and wore a jacket with clouds on it. She wore a pair of red capris and striped stockings. She had her shoed behind her as she was kneeling on a picnic blanket, eating cookies and tea. “And you are the same, Miss Goldenweek!”

Another agent? I wonder what she does, she is a bit young but that can’t mean anything if she is this high in rank. “Oi if you want to strike a pose you better do it now!” Zoro said.

“Zoro don’t drag me into your fantasies…” Nami groaned.

“Mr. Bushido! Please take this more seriously!” Vivi said.

You grinned, “Sorry Zoro, seems I can’t move my hands.” You say with a grin, “Block’s still there.”

“Alright!” Luffy said, slamming his knuckles together.

“Mr. 3, let us finish him.” Mr. 5 said.

“Finish him? You must be joking. Your attacks have had no effect, thus he stands before us, alive. This man obviously cannot be handled by someone of your level. You two deal with the others.” Mr. 3 said, getting in a fighting position. “I’ll ass Straw Hat Luffy to my wax figure collection, personally.”

“Don’t you creeps ever shut up?” Ussop asked from his spot on Carue. “You jerks have gone too far! Give up while you still can! Let’s do it!’Ussop said. Carue quaked, but they both ran backwards and hid! “Okay preparations are taken care of! I’ve got you covered Luffy!” Ussop yelled.

“You say something?” Luffy asked. Just then Mr. 3 locked Luffy’s feet! “What is tis stuff? It’s as heavy as a hammer.”

“That was too easy! And next your hands!” Mr. 3 said.

Luffy avoided it, grabbing onto Brogy! “Giant-ossan! Need to borrow you for a sec!” He said, whipping around and breaking the pillar!! “Lucky!” Luffy said, clutching Brogy’s helmet, “The hammer on my feet broke off!”

The jack-o-lantern was still spinning around, but on top of the layer of wax cake above you and Nami and Vivi breathed in relief. “We’re alive.” Nami said.

“We’re saved.” Vivi said.

“Our situation hasn’t changed a single bit!” Zoro said.

You tried to shake your head but you couldn’t, “No it has, it’s going quicker now that the thing is closer to us.”

“That was close, why didn’t you run?” Luffy asked.

“WE CAN’T MOVE! CAN’T YOU TELL BY LOOKING!?” Nami and Vivi yelled.

“Oh I guess you can’t, but you guys told me to break the pillar. Were you kidding?” Luffy asked.

“Can we really trust this person with our LIVES Mr. Bushido!?” Vivi asked.

“Well at this point we don’t have a choice, my arms have already hardened.”

“Simpletons! Bringing the candles that close has only hastened your solidification!”Mr 3 said. “Now prepare to become my wax figures!” he said.

“Oi, you guys are turning into wax statues?” Luffy asked.

“That’s right.” You say, “The only way to stop it is to break or stop the Jack-o-lantern.”

“I told you not to interfere!” Mr. 3 said.

He shot a wax arrow and Ussop tried to stop him, only to have Mr. 5 swallow his shot! “This isn’t looking good. It’s picking up now.” Zoro said.

“That’s what I said earlier.” You say.

“Luffy please help!” Vivi yelled.

Luffy tried but there was a wall of wax in front of him! “Oi don’t get in my way!”

“I’m afraid that’s my line. I must insist that you refrain from interfering with my art.”

He caught one of Luffy’s hands and Luffy grinned, pointing at it, “I got a hammer.”

Frantically Mr. 3 put up a wall of wax in front of him, but Luffy punched through it, knocking Mr. 3 away!! The wax on his hand broke as well and now you needed him to help. “Luffy! The jack-o-lantern!” you say.

“No.” he said.

“Quit joking around and do it!!” Nami yelled.

“No.”

“This is no time to fool around!” Vivi said. “Luffy-san, PLEASE!”

“Why should I? I don’t want to save you guys.” Luffy said.

You looked at him with so much confusion; no way could this be Luffy. He would do it in a heartbeat! “What are you saying?” Nami asked.

“Colors trap.” Miss Goldenweek said, eating a cookie.

“Hey Luffy, we’re out of time here! Quit screwing around and help us.” Zoro said.

“I got it.” Luffy said.

“If you get it then hurry!” Vivi said.

“Yeah Luffy!” Nami cried.

You looked to the ground underneath Luffy and saw some weird black design, “I get it but, I just don’t want to save you.” He said.

“Just what do you mean by that!?” Nami yelled. “We’re turning into wax figures, get it?! We’re gonna DIE!”

“Yeah… but I just don’t feel like it.” Luffy said.

“WE DON’T CARE IF YOU FEEL LIKE IT OR NOT!!!!” they yelled.

You stayed quiet, staring at the black design at his feet, what was going on? “This isn’t Luffy saying this.” You say, struggling to nod towards Miss Goldenweek.

“Once you touch the black paint, no matter how precious your nakama may be, you will betray them.” Miss Goldenweek said.

“What does she mean?” Nami asked.

“She’s a realist painter. She can take the emotion evoked by any color and make it real!” Vivi said, “Her refined color images allow her to use colored paint to directly influence a person’s mind!”

“This is bad! That simple-minded idiot is even more susceptible to suggestions than normal people!”Zoro said.

“So we just have to get him off the paint, right?” Nami asked.

“Luffy-san, please do NOT leave that black paint circle, NO MATTER WHAT! Please!” Vivi yelled. “We don’t want you to save us!”

“No.” Luffy said, getting off o the circle.

“I get it…” you say.

“Saying the opposite thing on purpose to make him betray.” Zoro said.

“Huh?” Luffy said, “I felt kinda weird there for a minute.” Luffy said. He was about to save you but suddenly started laughing. “But now that I think about it, I’d rather laugh!” Luffy said.

Miss Goldenweek held a paintbrush with yellow on it. “Colors Trap Laughing Yellow.” She said. “Bad boy, moving off of the spot.”

Luffy was on the ground, laughing! “This time it’s on his clothes! Luffy hurry up and take your shirt off!” Nami yelled.

“Nah, it’s more important to laugh right now!” Luffy said.

“Damn. At the rate this mist is falling we’ve only got another minute or so.” Zoro said.

Suddenly Ussop and Carue came running through the place followed by Miss Valentine and Mr. 5! “Look! When Ussop and Carue ran into him, they smeared the paint on his back!” Nami said.

“You did something to me again.” Luffy said, turning around, “Oi, you! Knock that off you jerk!”

He went to hit the pumpkin but hit a red circle! “Where the hell are you aiming!!” Zoro yelled.

“You mustn’t break that. Mr. 3 will get mad.” Miss Goldenweek said. “It’s like a bull charging a red mantle. You will now only attack that mark. Too bad for you.”

“I’m sick and tired of you!!” Luffy yelled. “Get the hell outta here!” he went to punch again but hit the mark!

“It’s no use! His power has no effect on her.” Nami said.

She put blue and yellow on his back, making a green. “Color Trap Soothing Green!” she yelled.

“Ah this is some good tea.” Luffy said, sitting on the picnic blanket.

“MORON!!!” you all yell.

“See? Told you guys to strike a pose when you had a chance.” Zoro said. “Bet you feel sorry now.”

“How can you still be so carefree!?” Vivi yelled.

The wax was finished, your preparations didn’t matter now, you were suffocating inside the wax. Completely frozen with no way to call for help.
