   hi! YAY!!!
yay! my computer is fixed! so i will give ya a quick reveiw of what's been going on. we went on a cool hiking trip. um, gosh...i think that's about it...gosh, that sucks.....ok. well i do have the rest of the week off...so um ok, here's the next part of our story.

Meanwhile, back on the ship, Yumi and Sanji were trying to revive he crew. “I hope this works…” she said as she held Luffy’s head up. He swallowed the strange liquid and sighed. Yumi laid him back down and moved onto Chopper. “What happened?” Yumi turned to see Luffy was sitting up. Yumi quickly explained what had happened. “Wait, whose Jack?” Luffy asked. Yumi sighed. “Just an old…acquaintance of ours.” Yumi turned around to look at him, but he was gone. “Luffy?” Yumi jumped up and ran to find Sanji. “He’ll be fine.” Sanji said casually. Yumi bit her lip. She knew something was wrong. Apparently, so did Luffy.

Zoro almost dropped his swords. He ran to Michiyo’s side. Her face was pale, her lips blue. She barely opened her eyes. When she saw him, she quickly shut them again and a tear rolled down her face. Zoro jumped up to confront the two villains. “You….what did you do to her!?” Zoro screamed. “We didn’t do a thing. Michiyo killed herself…” Jack said casually. Zoro looked back over at her. He scowled and shut his eyes. “What did you say to her!?” Zoro demanded. Jack just smiled amused. “Zoro!” Zoro turned around to see Luffy standing a few feet away. “What happened to Michiyo-Chan?” he asked, looking at her. Zoro, not realizing it, was breathing heavily. Luffy took a step forward. “Zoro! Go. Take Michiyo to Chopper-san.” At first, Zoro did not move. “Go!” he ordered. Zoro put away his swords and nodded. He picked up Michiyo and began to walk away. “You.” Luffy said once they were gone. “I don’t know you. But I know you, HIM, have caused my nakama much pain…” HE smiled. “Well, what do you plan on doing about it?” He asked. “I’m taking you down.”
Once Zoro got Michiyo into fresh air, he realized she might not even make it back to the ship. So he laid her down gently under a nearby tree. He knelt down beside her. He reached out and gently touched her cheek. Michiyo’s eyes opened slightly. She looked up at Zoro’s eyes. Even though she tried to stay calm, Zoro knew that terror was coursing through her veins. With all the energy she had, she slowly slid her ring off. She then took Zoro’s hand and placed it in it. She then sat there, just holding his hand tightly. “I’m…Sorry…” she said quietly as a few tears ran down her face. Zoro held her hand tightly. “No, Michiyo. Please….stay with me!” Michiyo slowly closed her eyes. “I…Love you…” she said in a whisper. “NO! Michiyo! I can’t live without you!” Zoro had tears streaming down his face. He held Michiyo in his arms, until he felt the life leave her body. He pulled away to look at her face, but when he did, his heart lurched. So he just laid her back down and stood up. He wiped away his tears and took a deep breath. Just then, Yumi came running up with Sanji. “Zoro! What happened?” Yumi approached him. Zoro’s eyes were red with anger. What’s wrong with Michiyo?” Sanji asked kneeling down to check her. “She’s dead.” He said coldly as he took his bandanna and put it on his head. “WH…what?” Yumi said horrified. Zoro said no more. He just continued on. “Zoro!” Yumi screamed. Zoro turned around. His eyes were like a black shadow on his face. Yumi had tears streaming down her face. “What happened?” she asked. Zoro just shook his head and turned to leave. “Zoro! Please! What happened to her!?” Yumi screamed. She was hysterical by now. Sanji came up behind her and cradled her in his arms. “Shh….it’s ok…” he tried to sooth her. She turned to face him and cried into his shoulder.
Zoro marched into the huge cavernous room. His heart was pounding with grief and rage. As soon as he walked in, something hit the wall near him. Luffy stood from the cloud of dust. He was beaten ad bruised. Zoro looked to HIM and jack, but only HE stood equally beaten and bruised. “Zoro,” Luffy said, not taking his eyes off HIM. “Where is Michiyo?” he asked. Zoro tightened his bandanna. “She’s dead Luffy.” Luffy’s eyes got wide and he turned to Zoro. Zoro took out is swords, placing one in his mouth. Luffy looked down. He was trying to contemplate it all. Finally, he looked straight at Him. “Look what you’ve done! You’ve killed our nakama!” Zoro glanced at Luffy to see he was crying. Luffy clenched his fists and shut his eyes tight. “Luffy, lets take this loser down.” Luffy took a deep breath and nodded.
