The remaining straw hats were with the Frankie family and the Galleria shipbuilders in the Rocket man, who drove after Puffing Tom. Grandma Kokolo was there too. Well, the Frankies were more attached to the back.
They had just broken through the Aqua Laguna and changed when someone knocked on their window.
Nami opened it and got a shock: a young girl was riding a bicycle next to the lake train.
"How are you doing that?" she wanted to know.
"Hey man! Stop the train! I've been trying to get past you since Water 7!", She shouted, pedaling harder to keep up.
"How now? Why?", Nami asked back. "I want to catch up with the other lake train, but you are blocking the way! I should have got on Water 7 with the world government, but I missed it! And now stop the train!" She snapped.
"That doesn't work! It keeps going until it runs out of coal or breaks!" Shouted Grandma Kokolo.
"This is just unreal!I can overtake you, but not in the long run! This is really not my day! ", the girl called and fell back a little. She had drawn all the occupants' attention to her. There was a good flood of water behind her bike.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the window!" Shouted the girl, pulling a rope
out of her pocket. She tied it to her steering wheel and then tied a knife to the other end.
She drove level with the window and jumped with the help of a high wave. In this jump she smashed the knife into the wagon and it wedged itself in the wall opposite. The bike and girl were thrown into the wagon.
Everyone stared at the girl.
She had pale green eyes, but only around the pupil, after which the eyes were deep royal blue.
She was soaked through. Therefore, the color of her hair could not be recognized.
"I should change my clothes.", She mumbled absently and pulled a sleeveless black shirt and a large pair of black pants out of a small backpack.On the spot she seemed to want to change because she took off her sweater.
Pauli went crazy. "What are you doing there! Please change your clothes somewhere else!" he roared. She looked up in surprise and asked calmly: "Where?", Whereupon Pauli jumped in the square. "Anyway! Anywhere! But not here!" "Okay.", She said indifferently.
Nami showed her a room that was something like a toilet. There she changed.
When she stepped out she looked very scary. The shirt was tight on her skin, it covered her entire upper body except for the arms and ended just above her navel. Her arms were terrifyingly like Zorros. The pants were way too wide for her. Even twice as wide as it actually was. The trousers had a lot of folds and were stuck at the hem in the boots, which looked a lot like combat boots.
Two strange blades were attached to eyelets within easy reach on either side of the trouser legs.
She had dried her hair and it was black too. Black and short.Without a word she went to the knife that was still in the wall.
"Shall I pull that out for you?", Asked Zorro, who was usually never so helpful. "Sure, try it," the girl said calmly.
Zorro pulled and tugged at the knife but couldn't get it out. Every time he tried a different way, the girl's nasty grin widened. "Let it go!", The girl laughed when Zorro braced himself with both legs on the wall to brace.
The girl stood with her shoulders level to the handle of the knife around it with her left hand and pulled it with a jerk, and a small piece of the wall out.
They all stared at him like that. Zorro realized why he hadn't been able to pull the knife out. There were several small re-rakes on the blade.
"I didn't introduce myself. I'm really sorry. My name is Lyra. And didn't mean to scare you.", the girl said calmly.
"This .... bike is constructed similar to the lake train, right?", Pauli asked with a strange undertone in his voice.
"Yes. But if you don't mind I would like to go to another place. It's too confusing for me here. I get nervous quickly.", Lyra said softly. She put the small backpack down and pulled out a pair of gloves that had no fingers.
The gloves were also black.
Lyra opened the window and climbed onto the roof.
"she scares me," said Chopper. "I also find her very uncomfortable. But she seems to be very strong," said Nami. "That's true. She must have belonged to the pirate king's crew." Zorro was one. "WHAT?" Luffy called. "That's impossible!" Nami shouted. "Didn't see the faded tattoo? It was only found on crew members of the Pirate King!" Shouted Zorro in his defense. "impossible, she is too young!" said Pauli.
"Her brother was a member of the crew," said Grandma Kokolo. "When the Pirate King died, he came back to Water 7 and taught Lyra everything.When she was able to surpass him, by the way, at ten she was ready, he tattooed her. It is trained to kill whoever hinders or tries to stop it in any way. When the CP9 has her on their side, she's unstoppable. "laughed Grandma Kokolo.
Everyone present was now faced with fear. She stared at Grandma Kokolo, who was laughing to herself.
Someone clapped. "Very good Kokolo. But in the end I didn't like it that much. The CP9 took something away from me that was important to me. It was my brother. Five years ago, four unknown individuals murdered my brother. They left me a message, in which the CP9 identified itself. I thought they had left Water 7 and I was training to be able to pursue them. But like a sign of fate they wanted to kill the last person I cared about. And they won't just regret. ", she breathed into the room. A menacing dark had spread in her eyes.She radiated pure hatred, even Grandma Kokolo's hair ran cold down her back.
"Just to make one thing clear, blockades are there to clear them out of the way. And don't worry. I'll let you in when I go out!", with the words she disappeared on the train roof, as if she wanted to make sure that we are leading in the right direction.
It was clear to everyone that they had a Notorious Mass Murderer on their train or on it. And it was also clear to them that theoretically they would be better off letting her have a free hand.
"We have to get Robin out before she gets her hands on her!" Nami whispered, dismayed.
"yes.", it came back from everything. "and Sanji!" and "Frankie!" "oh and Usopp we should say he should keep his head down."
"How now, there are people of yours in there?", Lyra asked surprised. Startled, they turned around. Lyra sat behind them and polished one of their blades.
"How did you get that in here?", Nami asked heatedly. "through the window."said the girl sarcastically, indicating the broken window behind her.
"How ...?", Zorro stared at the window. He should have noticed that. "The splinters were sucked out. I lifted it from the inside," the girl explained.
"You used the opening you made with the knife.", Zorro muttered. "100 points for the spinach quail."
"Hey !!! Who do you call spinach quail here
