Chapter 7: 9 Lives? Screw that crap!
A/N: Ok before I get to who else favorite this fic, I want to answer Indra Sennin's questions. I am planning to make this go all the way to where the series is so far and beyond and for smasher requirements, I've already unlocked all of them and bought the DLC, well to the 4 that are today, ones in the future don't count. Though there are requirements that come with the smashers, like adjusting to the fighting styles since they all vary from each other, now as you seen from Bowser, it's tricky trying to actually get inside the shell like a turtle, so adjusting to the bodies is also something. Now for when it's desperate, it would be a stronger attack or a version of that smasher's final smash. Now your last question is that he doesn't consider to go back home, he wonders on what's happening back there and what was that dream of Akainu invading Earth having to do with the void to One Piece, so he's just adjusting to his new life.
Alexc123: Now I do plan on using Kirby before reaching the Red Line, but I will do something crazy where Sanji is that will crush him if you know what I mean. Also, thank you on complementing my devil fruit, I've gotten the idea on traveling to One Piece but was at a loss on what power should be gained, so I went with smashers.
Ok, now for the new people that favorite this, TreacherousDeer, powerbome, cicizchan, HunterHD1, BluWolf142, Grislyfrostbite, avaota, Keldeox, AlwaysReading42, Ninazu and Emerald1999.
Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece, that is meant for Oda. The only thing I own is my is myself as an OC.
It was dark at the shore and well, I was staring up at the sky while Nami tended to Usopp's wound. I never usually see the night sky this clear with many stars back home where nothing could be seen due to the all the light's in the city blocking them out. Only times I could ever see them was when I went with my family to the country with less light pollution. I guess this world does have it's perks, except for the corrupt government and pirates but only those that are corrupt.
"There, all done." Nami said as she finished her treatment.
"So, why did you lie to them?" Luffy questioned Usopp.
"Cause all I do is lie. There's was no way anyone was going to believe anything I say." Usopp said depressed.
"Because what you were telling them was the honest truth." Zoro stated.
"They are coming and they are going to level this whole village." Nami said with concern.
"Yeah but what am I supposed to do? They'll think I'm lying if I try to tell them and they will think that tommrow will just be another day..." Usopp said cringing at that last part.
"They think I'm lying and that's all they need to think! I'm gonna stop the pirates myself! This is all my fault for being a liar, I don't care if they drive me away with brooms or shoot me in the arm!" Usopp said with new found confidence as we now look at him in a new light.
"This village is my home and I love everyone in it... I have to protect them..." Usopp cried out.
"You're a brave man sending off your men to battle alone." Zoro said while gripping one of his swords.
"Just so you know I have dibs on the treasure." Nami stated while making a berri sign.
"So you want a little help?" Luffy asked with his fists up.
"Because we aren't just going to be sitting around doing nothing." I said with my arms crossed.
"You guys, are you really going to help me fight all these pirates? But why?" Usopp questioned us.
"Well, there's a lot of bad guys right?" Luffy said while flexing his hands.
"Plus it looks like your lower body is ready to pass out." I stated.
"For your information, I have nerves of steel! I can handle tons of bad guys, after all you are looking at the legendary Captain Usopp! Brave warrior of the high seas!" Usopp proclaimed.
"Well 'Brave warrior', your body seems to think otherwise." I said as our eyes went down towards Usopp's shaking legs.
"Damn it stop shaking!" Usopp shouted punching his legs but they still shook.
"Ok so I'm scared! Why should I be, they're Kuro's men! I don't need your pity!" Usopp said getting the wrong idea of us helping him.
"We aren't helping you out of pity, we are helping you for your bravery and devotion to this village." I said as Usopp stopped shaking.
"Do you really think we would risk our lives out of pity?" Luffy said showing off his more serious side that can only happen when it involves his hat, friends and his best interest.
"You guys..." Usopp cried out now that he knew why we are fighting with him.
"Ok, at daybreak the pirates will land on this shore to attack but the only way to pass is through this slope." Usopp explained to us as we went up. I knew they were actually north but I didn't want to fight around oil.
"If we can be able to fight them while they are funneled in, their numbers won't mean anything and the village will be safe." Usopp finished.
"Ok sounds easy enough." Luffy said.
"Talking about it is but it all depends on strength. What do you do best?" Usopp questioned us.
"I cut." Zoro said.
"I stretch." Luffy said with a fist out.
"I steal." Nami said with her hands on her hips.
"I smash." I said with my stance like a boxer.
"I hide." Usopp said but we wouldn't have any of that.
"WELL YOU BETTER FIGHT!" Luffy, Nami and Zoro shouted with white eyes and shark teeth, while putting his body in a headlock.
"Just making it funny, come on calm down." Usopp begged.
"Well all of you sure are." I said trying to hide my laugh.
"Wait here, let me get something." Usopp said after being released and then ran off somewhere.
"Oh Victor, do you think you can turn into that robot for this fight?" Luffy asked me as we waited.
"Well sure thing Luffy." I said as Usopp came back with 3 barrels. He tipped them over letting the contents spill out on the hill, oil.
"Yep, I'm a genius. There's no way they'll make it up now." Usopp praised himself.
"This plan is about as slippery as your skills." I deadpanned.
"Oh come on, it's perfect! All this oil will keep them busy, while we get to work on them." Usopp tried to support his idea.
"They are going to be slipping like idiots and then we beat the crap out of them!" he continued.
"Well that won't really help us fighters who are more up close instead of shooters. Otherwise, we would be forced to go down when they are slipping down and can't get back up or when there's no more oil." I said which made Usopp think twice on how it's going to work.
"Yeah, if we were to slip in this, it would be like falling in a meat grinder." Nami stated sitting down near the oil while Luffy was putting his foot on it and moving it around.
"Wow Usopp, I gotta hand it do you, you are good at fighting dirty." Luffy complemented Usopp which has given him his confidence back how he can rival anyone to shooting or fighting dirty.
"Sun's almost coming, get ready." I said as the sky was beginning to become brighter. As we were waiting for them for about 15 minutes, I decided to pull out my phone and open the compass app so I can figure out where north is, though I had to first rotate the phone slowly in order to get it calibrated.
"Where are they?" Luffy whined as we have not seen their ship pull up.
"Maybe they overslept?" Zoro suggested.
"Kuro's men aren't the type to oversleep." I said.
"Wait, I think I hear something." Nami said as she puts her hands near her ears.
"It sounds like battle cries... from the north." Nami said.
"Ah! Oh no there's are shore like this to the north!" Usopp cried out.
"We're at the wrong shore!?" Luffy blurted out.
"This is where they had their secret meeting so I just assumed ok!?" Usopp retorted out.
"Where is it then!?" Luffy asked eager to hurry up.
"If you just make it north from here, you can make it in 5 minutes." Usopp explained
"Oh no! If the pirates are there, then they have seen our boats and probably our treasure!" Nami shouted in panic.
"I'll be there in 5 seconds!" proclaimed Luffy as he was going on ahead.
"Luffy wait!" I shouted as Luffy is still bad with directions but not as much as Zoro.
"Can't believe my oil strategy was all for nothing!" Usopp cried out as soon as both him and I ran up the slope to head north. I know that Zoro and Luffy are going to be late but as long as I can help out, things might be less hard for 2 of the weakling trio.
"Come on Usopp!" I shouted as both of us were running along the coastline and the compass showed we were going north.
"Wow, Luffy sure is a fast runner." Usopp panted out. We soon found ourselves near the top of the slope with pirates that have cat ears and black eye paint are beginning to run up from the base of the shore.
"Don't worry Usopp, I'll cover you. Just focus on firing!" I shouted as I changed into Megaman.
"What the- what are you?" Usopp questioned me.
"In a bit if we can clear this wave!" I said as my right hand became replaced by the Mega Buster. I readied it as Usopp got what I meant and began loading his slingshot. We soon released a barrage of metal and uncharged shots as they collided with the pirates, pushing them back down.
"We meet again." said Jango to Usopp as he panted a bit from the run.
"I am the legendary Captain Usopp! I've been waiting for you!" Usopp shouted while I put away my buster for now.
"All my men are here and ready to fight! Turn back if you value your life!" he said but I noticed his knees buckling.
"Don't worry Usopp, I'm here for you while they are coming." I said trying to support him which he looked at me with relief.
"Yeah, thanks Victor!" Usopp said as we turned back towards the group.
"So, you're one of the troublesome brats who overheard our plan. And what exactly are you supposed to be?" Jango said while pointing at me.
"A friend of Usopp to help make sure you won't have your way." I said as Usopp did another lie on his crew number, which was now 100 million men. I resisted to facepalm on how Usopp just made his lie even less believed by using a huger number. Apparently, that doesn't apply to Jango and the rest of the idiot trio.
"What!? 10 million men!? That's insane!" Jango shouted in surprise before one of his men talked to him about that it's a lie which changed his opinion.
"Oh no! He saw right through it!" Usopp blurted it out and I had it.
"Next time, use a more believable number!" I retorted with slapping him on the back of his head.
"Well I didn't have the time to think of one!" he shouted back at me.
"Jango sir! We have searched the two ships and have found treasure that could be worth around 5 million berri!" one of the pirates said while another exited Nami's ship with her treasure bag. Glad I'm holding the money Ririka gave me or they would've taken it and Nami would count it as her own.
"5 million berri? How the heck were you guys able to get that much money?" Usopp questioned me.
"Let's just say this came from defeating Buggy." I said which made Usopps's eyes widen in shock.
"I see you found my loot, you can take it and leave this island!" Usopp proclaimed as the pirates were confused that they are getting that much money easy.
"Even so what's to stop us from taking the treasure and invading the village?" Jango pointed out leaving Usopp's strategy destroyed.
"You shouldn't have done that Usopp." I said as Jango pulled his ring out but Usopp was facing me.
"What? Why?" Usopp questioned.
"Because if you mess with Nami's treasure-" I said but she was able to come and interrupt.
"Don't you give my hard earned treasure away!" Nami shouted as she driven her staff down on Usopp's head.
"you'll be destroyed." I finished.
"MY HEAD!" Usopp cried out.
"Why didn't you stop him from taking my treasure!?" Nami shouted at me still mad.
"Well they already found it first and if you want it back, we have to beat these guys up." I explained.
"Oh, ok then." Nami said as she understood now. I ignored the squabble between the two about her treasure until she asked about Luffy.
"He's lost because he just dashed on ahead with no one to guide him." I said.
"Just great and right when we need him." Nami groaned out.
"I think I'll go take command here, it's time you two go and kick their butts." Usopp said backing up from where he landed.
"What!? That's crazy! Im just a girl, I can't fight all those pirates!" Nami complained.
"Calm down guys, I'll help you guys out since I can able to fight them head on." I said before they could continue their argument.
"We don't have time for this, crush them so we can get to the village!" Jango shouted as the pirates let out a battle cry and began to climb up.
"Here they come!" I shouted as I went down to face them leaving Nami and Usopp at the top. Man, I don't know why I shouldn't be scared, I never really fought people using combat. I guess being here and willing to fight for Luffy has given me a better fighting spirit to go in and give it my all! As the first wave came up, I opened up my right hand to form my weapon.
"Flame Sword!" I shouted as I swung it horizontal getting some in the front who got caught on fire or received scorch marks.
"Caltrop Hell!" Usopp and Nami shouted behind me as they tossed caltrops around me and the pirates. It affected them but when I stepped in one, I didn't feel pain. I guess my armor has some resistance against attacks though I don't know about the rest of the body that isn't hands and feet. Me and Usopp went to work on them while they were in pain with lead shots and flame slashes, driving them back down the base.
"Bastards!" one of the pirates shouted who had a burn mark diagonally on his chest.
"Wow, you two are pretty good." Nami complemented us.
"Thanks, you two really helped me out." I said looking at the pirates with some in pain of being cut by heat, while there were others who were completely on fire and are running to the ocean or moving like crazy.
"Well I guess I'll go take a break." Nami said as she was about to leave.
"But you haven't done anything yet!" Usopp shouted with bugged out eyes and shark teeth.
"Besides, you can't leave yet." I said as Nami discovered there were caltrops blocking our path back.
"Idiot! You dropped them behind too!?" Usopp said in disbelief.
"Get out of the way!" one with a stone hammer shouted who made it up the slope behind Usopp ready to hit him.
"Oh no you don't! Super Arm!" I shouted as I got in front and grabbed the wooden pole of the hammer with my right hand and stopping it from hitting Usopp's head.
"What!? How can you stop a stone hammer with no effort!? Are you even human!?" the one holding the hammer shouted in shock and was struggling with taking it out of my grip.
"Because I'm not a human, I'm a super fighting robot! Now take this! Hard Knuckle!" I shouted as my left hand was aimed to his gut and it shot out quickly, leaving him out of breath and sending him flying back to the base. My discarded hand blew up in a small explosion that doesn't do damage but it destroys the weapon leaving nothing behind.
"You ok?" I said to Usopp as my left hand reloaded back into place while my right hand still held the stone hammer.
"Yeah, thanks Victor." Usopp said."
"That is so cool!" shouted someone behind us as we turned to see Luffy and Zoro make their way towards us.
"What is this Jango!? You never told us that we would have to fight a robot!" the hammerless pirate shouted.
"So Victor, you fought all of them?" Luffy questioned me.
"Well I had help from Usopp and Nami but most were downed by my Flame Sword." I explained as my left hand opened and shown it.
"Cool!" Luffy said with mini stars around his face.
"A sword made of fire, that's intresting." Zoro said looking it over.
"But what about the hammer?" Nami questioned.
"That's my Super Arm which allows me to grab, lift and even throw things even if it's heavy! As long as I can be able to." I explained as I lifted the hammer up by one hand and then chucked it down towards the pirates. They were scared to death as it was rolling downhill real fast, so they scrambled out of the way as it passed Jango and out to the side of the ship. But it left behind a huge splash but I've lifted trees and rocks bigger than that hammer as Bowser, Charizard and Megaman. They didn't bring up their tardiness excuses which was good to avoid arguing during a fight. That's when Jango began to swing his ring back and forth to make those that were downed stronger.
"Jango!" he shouted as all the pirates soon shouted with power.
"No way!" Nami said in disbelief.
"Well Nami, if you take away reason, you just become stronger." I said as one of the pirates punched at the cliffside, bringing down a piece.
"He punched the cliff with his fist? That's insane!" Zoro shouted.
"I always thought hypnosis was just a bunch of garbage." Nami said.
"And that was one of them! What about an entire crew!?" Usopp shouted.
"..." Luffy stood silent.
"Now go! And crush them!" Jango shouted as the feral pirates rushed up like animals.
"Nami, Usopp get back!" I shouted to them as they were moving towards a large rock.
"Right, let's get to work. What do we do Luffy?" Zoro questioned.
"..." was his response with his hat covering his eyes.
"Uh Zoro, I don't think Luffy is in right now..." I said.
"RAHHHHH!" Luffy shouted with white eyes and raising his arms up.
"DON'T TELL ME YOU LET THAT FREAK HYPNOTIZE YOU TOO!?" Zoro retorted with white eyes and shark teeth. That's when Luffy ran down the hill still screaming out of the top of his lungs. I would've stopped him from being like this-
"GUMMMMM GUMMMMM..." or he would not have been able to learn a new move.
"GATLING!" Luffy shouted as he punched really fast giving the visual of many fists comming around the front and just hit all of the pirates down to the base again.
"Well, I guess it's good he's stronger than them otherwise, we would've been run over." I said because it's one thing to watch behind a screen but in real life, it's insane.
"Even though that helped, he's still an idiot!" Nami retorted as Luffy began to chase the pirates down. They were scared to death on something that is stronger than them, even under hypnosis.
"Huh? Where's he going?" Zoro asked.
"He's gonna raise hell." I said as Luffy passed Jango and began to grab the figurehead's beam. There was a lot of shaking from the ship and that cat figurehead sweat dropped on how he can rip it out.
"That's right tear it down!" Nami cheered on as Luffy was able to take it out from the ship.
"He's gonna crush us! Run!" as the pirates began to run up the slope for their lives.
"Jango do something!" another shouted back as Luffy came walking slowly ready to use the figurehead as a bat.
"One, Two Jango you will fall asleep!" He shouted as Luffy was getting closer...
"One!" and closer...
"Two!" and closer...
"Jango!" and then stopped in place letting the figurehead head crash down on himself, Jango and the rest of the pirates. Let's just say it was brutal for them and close for Jango as all of Kuro's men lay scattered, injured and defeated.
"So what should we do now?" I asked.
"Buchie, check this out!" a voice called from the ship. Well my answer is set to getting one of the brothers, probably Buchie when Sham grabs Zoro.
"What the hell is going on here!? It's looks like everyone has been cut by fire!" another voice shouted in disbelief.
"That's right, we still have our secret weapon! Come forth Meowban Brothers!" Jango shouted as two figures jumped out of the ship and landed on the broken masthead.
"Sham!" he said.
"And Buchi!" his partner said.
"Together we are the Meowban Brothers!" they both said doing a pose.
"Who the heck are those two weirdos?" Nami questioned.
"Probably the more experienced fighters than the fodder Luffy crushed." I explained.
"Sham, Buchi as you can see we are trying to get to this village and we find our path blocked. Remove this obstacle at once!" Jango ordered them as me and Zoro were shown at the top. Zoro was glaring at them but I was at least staring normally because even though I can see through them, it doesn't mean they can do damage to me.
"Ah! No way we can't fight them they look too strong!" Sham cried out pulling a Usopp along with Buchie.
"Yeah, especially the robot! He could fire a laser!" Buchi added though it is somewhat true to Megaman's final smash.
"Besides we just guard the ship, we aren't fighters!" Sham complained to Jango with Buchi supporting him.
"So, their trump card was just a bunch of pansies." Usopp deadpanned.
"Come on Usopp, you can clearly see yourself in the mirror." I retorted.
"What's that supposed to mean!?" he yelled back with shark teeth.
"Sham, just do it!" Jango retorted.
"What!? Why me!?" Sham blurted out.
"And make it quick!" Jango continued leaving no more arguments from Sham.
"What on earth is he doing?" Nami questioned as we watched Sham make his way up flailing his arms all over the place.
"Ahhhh! I'm gonna tear you up with these claws of mine! Just you wait I'm a vicious killing machine!" Sham cried out moving closer to us.
"You come any closer and I'll cut you in half! I'm warning you!" Zoro shouted holding one sword.
"Not likely." Sham spoke out in a more serious tone before leaping at Zoro real fast with his claws out as they struck Zoro's blade, who barely had the time to block. Sham then began talking about how it wasn't wise to underestimate him and I thought Zoro would learn that after that close call from Buggy.
"Uh Zoro, you know he has your swords..." I said as Zoro gotten a delayed reaction on that he already has them. Zoro asked for them back but Sham doesn't know that he works well with 3, so he tossed down one of the black swords along with the white one down the slope leaving Zoro shocked and angered.
"You should take care of other people's things!" shouted Zoro as he rushed in and cut Sham across the gut giving the impression that he was down. As Zoro was running for his swords, he never noticed that he only cut the clothing off of Sham, letting him jump and land on top of Zoro holding his arms back.
"Buchi!" Sham called for him as he began running before jumping up in the air, while I was charging something and running to where Zoro and Sham were.
"Cat-" he shouted but never got the chance.
"Air Shooter!" I said as I fired a medium sized tornado from my right hand going under Buchi before the mini tornado began to push him up while he was losing his balance in the air.
"What the hell is this!?" Buchi shouted as the mini tornado disappeared letting him fall down on his back leaving a crater as Zoro was able to get away.
"Damn it Buchi, why did you have to get stopped!?" Sham retorted as Buchi was rising from the ground in pain.
"Well I wasn't expecting a mini tornado to push me away!" Buchi retorted back.
"Anyways, Zoro you take on string bean while I take on the cow." I said standing next to him with my hands being replaced by claws.
"What do you mean by cow!?" Buchi retorted at me.
"And string bean!?" Sham also joined in.
"That's enough funny time, it's fight time!" I said as I rushed towards Buchi and jumped forward giving him a headbutt in the gut sending us down the slope away from Zoro and Sham.
"Grr, you bastard! I'll cut you up!" Buchi said while getting up and readying his claws.
"Not if I do it first!" I said back as I got up as well.
"Even if I don't have Sham with me, I'll be enough for you! Pussy Willow March!" Buchi shouted as he dashed at me and I prepared my own claws. We were soon moving our arms around like crazy blocking each others strikes, not giving in at all.
"Lead Star!" Usopp shouted as I glanced behind as Zoro was gaining ground on Sham, but Usopp was aiming towards my own fight!
"Damn it!" I shouted as Buchi attacked me with one hand and I blocked it with my left hand...
"Slash Claw!" as my right hand let out one vertical energy slash as it cut the lead ball in half.
"Now you're open!" Buchi shouted as he slashed across my left arm with his free hand.
"Argh!" I shouted as I was flung back a bit from the attack and grabbed my left arm. He left behind 3 deep gashes that went up the entire length of my arm and I guess this confirms that my lighter blue body has the durability of a normal person. Man, I was bleeding pretty bad because the only other time that I've gotten a deep gash back home was from standing on a barbed fence and then it fell down cutting my left leg across one of the pointed knots. I didn't even feel the pain as it was instant but now, it was just burning up.
"Why did you cut my attack?" Usopp questioned me from afar.
"Stay out of this! This is my own fight unless you wanna die!" I retorted back at him.
"Heh, now with one less arm, how can you hope to beat me?" Buchi taunted me.
"Simple, I'm though playing around." I said as my right claws began to light up.
"AHHHH!" Jango shouted before I could attack showing us the Kuro was at the top of the slope leaving Jango, Sham and Buchi in fear, as Nami was on the ground near Jango with her right shoulder bleeding.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE!?" Kuro shouted extremely pissed off even more than Buggy.
