Alright here we go, chapter 10 coming at you! This one was bit harder to make long since I'm compiling one fight into being the whole chapter, but I'll do my best, remember to read and review!
Also, since I just figured out the poll system (something I've ignored this whole time haha) I'm putting up a new one about which girls will be in who's one sided harem, so look on my page for it!
One last thing, to those who are thinking about it, no, Luffy is not using haki. This is pre time skip Luffy. He doesn't even know what it is yet, much less how to use it.
Chapter 10: The Long Awaited Battle Part 3
Back in the world of Pirates, it truly had been only a few minutes there. Even though Luffy, Zoro and Robin had been in the Yokai world for a few months, the Strawhat pirates at home had barely noticed that the others were gone. Chopper walked out of the infirmary with a bag full of medicine on his back.
"Ok Robin, I'm ready to go!" He shouted happily. Usually he would be almost as afraid of this island as Usopp, but when he was with Robin, Zoro or maybe even Luffy, he felt braver.
The young reindeer looked around for his mother figure, hoping to find her still on the Sunny Go, but only found Usopp on the railing trying to fish.
"Hey Usopp, where did Robin go?"
"Oh, hey Chopper. I think she left a little bit after Luffy and Zoro did. She said that you could stay here." Usopp replied, much to the dismay of the reindeer.
"What? Robin went in alone?" He shouted in surprise. Usopp raised his hand to calm him down.
"Oi, you know how tough Robin is, don't worry about it." Usopp said reasonably. Chopper visibly relaxed after thinking about it for a bit. But then the thoughts of Robin being attacked by monsters came to his mind. The little reindeer shivered in fear of what might happen.
"I'm gonna go find Robin and the others!" Chopper shouted as he jumped on. Usopp shrieked in despair for his little reindeer friend.
"Oi Chopper, don't go! If Robins right about this place, then it's really dangerous!" the long nosed sniper shouted. None of the other crew was around; most likely inside getting things ready themselves in case they were to go in.
Usopp horridly looked at his options: stay here and do nothing or go with Chopper to watch out for him….
"Well Chopper's pretty strong and all- NO! I have to go with him so he doesn't get hurt!" He told himself. He was at a high inner conflict on what to do, but ultimately was able to work up his courage.
"Chopper, wait! I'll go with you!" He shouted… not noticing that the reindeer was already out of sight. Usopp shrieked again, grabbed his Green Kabuto, and ran for the entrance.
Chopper had run quickly in while in his faster reindeer form. He was scared of course, but thankfully he hadn't run into any monsters yet. Suddenly, he saw a bright pinkish light down the tunnel pathway.
"Huh, is that them? Robin, I'm coming!" He shouted and made a hard dash for through the tunnel, not knowing what to expect…
Back at Yokai Academy…
The day of the finals had come. All over the school, there was talk about the oncoming fight. Luffy's fan girls were breaking out into brawls with Moka's fan boys over seating around the stage. Zoro and the others were allowed to sit in the front rows because they were friends of the fighters. This sounded like a good idea to all except for Zoro.
"We should move up." He stated lazily.
"Eh, how come? This spot is great for watching the match!" Kurumu said excitedly.
"Maybe, but it's also a place where we can easily be caught in the crossfire."
"But the fight will be on the stage, you don't think it will escalate off of it do you?" Tsukune asked, fearing such a scenario.
"With as strong as those two are, I think we should assume that this whole area will be their battle field." He responded, making his friends gulp. Robin chuckled at Zoro's words, knowing that he was most likely right.
"Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready for the fight of a lifetime?" The Announcer boomed, signaling the beginning of the match. With his words, the crowd screeched with excitement.
"Alright then! In this corner, we have the first year that defeated the second year Karate Captain Haiji Miyamoto. The boy with the straw hat and the strange ability to stretch like rubber, a boy who has yet to reveal his true form; let's hear it for Monkey D. Luffy!"
The crowd, mostly his fan girls, went crazy with cheers. Moka found her eye unconsciously twitching with annoyance as girls proclaimed supposed love for the Strawhat boy.
"And in this corner, we have the S-class Vampire, who defeated a werewolf even with her weakness being used against her, who us not only incredibly strong, but also incredibly beautiful: Akashiya Moka!"
All of the crowd, fan boys and alike, cheered wildly for her. She merely turned her head and huffed. Luffy suddenly chuckled, making her turn to him in wonder.
"Just what is so funny, Strawhat?"
"Nothing, it's just you hate all the attention huh?" He said while continually chuckling. She scoffed and turned her head away from him.
"And now, the moment you've all been waiting for! Let's get this match started!" The announcer shouted loudly. In almost an instant, the crowd fell into a hush, waiting for either fighter to make the first move. Luffy only started to stretch a bit, while Moka waited for him with her arms crossed.
"Are you ready yet?" She asked after a few seconds. Luffy stood up straight and nodded his head.
"Let's do this!" He shouted excitedly, now running at her with his arm twisting behind him, similar to when he attack Haiji.
Gomu-Gomu no Rifle!
Moka quickly put her knee up in defense. She saw the power behind the attack when used against Haiji, and did not underestimate it like he did. The blow pushed her back a bit, but she remained unharmed. This time it was her turn to attack. She darted at him with great speed and went for a drop kick aimed at Luffy's chest. He quickly threw up his arms in defense but she surprised him when a purple energy surrounded her legs, making the blow that hit him truly hurt.
"What the- that really hurt? I'm made of rubber though!" Luffy said as held his chest.
"What I used just now was Youki. I don't know the properties of your rubber body fully, but it seems to be magical. I'm not fully trained in the use of my Youki, but I know how to put it into my punches and kicks, changing the properties of it so that it is not a regular blow or impact delivered." She explained to him while smirking triumphantly. That changed though when Luffy started laughing.
"That makes this fight all the better!" He said determinedly. He rushed at her now surprising her with great speed.
Gomu-Gomu no Gatling!
His arms stretched fast as they punched rapidly at her. She narrowly dodged each fist, but was able to avoid being hit. She started to block with her legs from closer incoming punches. After a bit Luffy stopped with the barrage and jumped up.
Gomu-Gomu no Whip!
Moka wasn't expecting s kick from Luffy, seeing that he was mostly a fist fighter, and took the attack straight to her side and was sent flying across the stage. She quickly recovered to her feet, but while holding her side. Luffy landed in front of her.
"I wasn't expecting you to throw a kick at me. Now I know better." She stated to him.
"So are we done warming up now?" He asked, confusing the crowd.
"Yes I think it's about time we truly started this match."
"Did he say… warming up?" Tsukune said with a sweat running.
"I thought that they were both going all out already! Those two are scary strong!" Kurumu exclaimed. Robin and Zoro said nothing as they waited for the match to unfold.
Luffy jumped at her again, this time it was even faster than before. He went for a straight punch to her chest, but she quickly dodged by disappearing. Luffy stopped for a moment, but turned quickly to intercept a spinning kick with his arms crossed in an X.
"I knew you would block that one." She said with a smirk. He raised an eyebrow in question until she picked up her legs and started a flurry of straight kicks. He was being pushed back with every kick, but she had yet to break his guard. Finally she imbued her legs in Youki, and was able to knock him off his feet and fall onto the ground.
"The vampire fights with a lot of kicks like the cook." Zoro observed, with Robin nodding in agreement.
Moka was about to come down with an axe kick, but Luffy threw his own kick at her first.
Gomu-Gomu no Stamp!
She was knocked off balance as his kick went straight into her stomach, making her fall to the ground. He quickly jumped to his feet and launched himself into the air.
Gomu-Gomu no
He was falling towards her and before she could move out of the way he launched his attack.
Rain!
He launched his fists at her, landing blows to her body. She had to move quickly now, before it was too late. She put Youki into her arms and used it like a shield. When his fist came into contact with it, he surprisingly felt his hands bounce off of them, and he flew back a bit.
"That yoke stuff works pretty good huh?" He said as he stood up. Moka regained her feet but was breathing a bit heavier now.
"That was a fierce attack, I was lucky to get it up when I did." Moka explained, now brushing herself off.
"So, are you ready?" Luffy said with a smile, which she returned. The two rushed at each other, him cocking back his arm while she raised her leg and the two connected. The force was incredible, sending a large shockwave throughout the area, knocking some back in their seats. The two separated jumped back from each other only to reconnect with faster attacks from each other. Luffy continued on with more fierce punches, while Moka countered with her legs and attempted to kick him back. Luffy finally pushed her back with a strong punch, but she raised her leg once again to come down, this time encased with her Youki. Luffy acted quickly and instead of trying to block jumped out of the way as it came down. The impact shattered most of the stage, sending another shockwave through the stands.
"Incredible! The contender's bout has become so intense, that one of the fighters has nearly destroyed the entire stage, but thankfully it's still-"
Luffy was in the air now, coming at Moka with both arm sent far behind him. She looked up at him and prepared to block until she saw what he was doing.
Gomu-Gomu no Bazooka!
She cursed under her breath as she jumped far to the side and off the stage. The impact of his attack destroyed the rest of the stage, kicking up a lot of dirt and dust.
"Oh my, it seems that the stage has been fully destroyed! Is it against regulations to do that?" The announcer quizzed, but regardless, the vampire and the pirate were already engaging each other again.
"AARGH!" Luffy roared as he launched himself at Moka, who was taken by surprise as he grabbed her shoulder and her side and tossed her behind him. She was thrown into the opposite stands that Zoro and the others were in, making most of the group shudder.
"I told you this would happen." Zoro said but still with a straight face. The others all face faulted.
Luffy tried to continue with his advantage while she was down, butt she had recovered quicker than anticipated, jumping out of the stands and meeting his face with a hard windmill kick. He was sent flying into the opposite stands, heading towards his friends. They shrieked as they saw him incoming, but were surprised when Zoro had picked up Tsukune and Kurumu on his shoulders, throwing Yukari under his arm, and jumping quickly off with Robin next to him.
"Those two- do they really wanna destroy this whole place?" Zoro said with a sweat drop.
Moka jumped high into the air and went for a dive kick to where Luffy had been hit. People were clearing the stands as fast as they could trying not to get caught in the fight as well. Luffy raised himself up and prepared his arms.
Gomu-Gomu no Rocket!
He was flying towards her with great speed, meeting her foot with the top of his head, creating another shockwave. Moka was surprised with how powerful the impact was on his head, yet it seemed to not affect him at all.
"It has become complete madness now! These two are savagely going at each other without letting up at all!" The announcer continued with his commentary, although now at a much safer distance.
The two landed a bit farther away from each other, both out of breath. The atmosphere grew thick as the two prepared themselves to charge again. The ground under each fighter sunk as they both kicked off at each other. At the same time, Luffy landed a strong punch to her face, while she landed an axe kick to his. The two stood there for a moment, both unmoving from their positions. The entire crowd, of those who remained at least, looked closely to see if they had knocked each other unconscious. Suddenly the two flew away from each other, the impact of their blows finally taking effect. The two were covered by the rubble of the stands and could not be seen. The announcer, and everyone else, was flabbergasted.
"Is it… finally over? Have the contenders knocked each other-"
"AARRRGH!" Luffy roared
"OOOHHHH!" Moka roared
The two shot out of the rubble at the same time, shocking everyone as they continued to brawl against each other. The two locked hands with each other, trying to push either back, growling in frustration. Both Luffy and Moka cocked their heads back and slammed them against the others. The two continually did this, each time sending a shockwave through the air.
"H-how can these two keep it up! This is crazy, we have to try and stop this!" Tsukune said exasperatedly. Zoro put his arm in front of him to stop.
"Don't try it, you might just get caught up in the fight instead of helping." Zoro said sternly. Tsukune wavered at this and looked to the two as they continued on.
Mikogami watched the fight with great excitement. He never would have thought the fight would take a turn like this, turning the whole are into a battlefield. Either way, this was one of the most entertaining things he had seen in a while. Suddenly though, he felt the energy from the portal to the Strawhats world open up for no more than five seconds. This could only mean one thing: someone had passed through. He looked to the fight again and smiled broadly.
"I can tell them when the fight is over." He thought as he watched the brawl continue.
Finally the two broke away from each other, taking a few steps back to take a small break, both rubbing their heads. Both were out of breath, bodies damaged and extremely tired. Nevertheless, both were too pumped up by this fight to stop going.
"Let's keep going!" Luffy shouted. Moka smirked evilly in response.
"I was hoping you would say that."
The two collided, Luffy's fist meeting with Moka's shin. It became a slugfest now as both kept connecting with hard hits:
Luffy landing a punch to her stomach
Moka swiftly kicking his jaw
Luffy punching her in the face
Moka kicking him in the temple
Luffy kneeing her in the chest
Moka returning with her own knee
The two locked hands again, but this time they were going for knees to the stomach. Instead, they were hitting knee against knee, repeatedly sending shockwaves through the air. Now even Zoro was running a cold sweat.
"This is turning out worse than I thought it would." Zoro stated.
"Yes, I feel like they might just kill each other in the end." Robin said although her expression blank.
"She's so dark." The others said quietly with sweat drops, although not truly doubting she was right.
"You just won't fall, will you Strawhat?" Moka said, both now separated from each other to catch their breath. Luffy huffed in more air but smiled eagerly.
"I'll never give up to anyone Moka!" He said loudly. She smirked again and closed her eyes.
"Well then, I guess it's time to put you in your place!" She shouted as she rushed again.
"Let's see you try it!" Luffy retorted as he began to rush now. The two were only yards from each other… until-
"Hey you mean lady, don't hurt Luffy like that!"
Both fighters halted where they were, all present looking to the voice. All three Strawhats knew the voice, and widened their eyes.
"Don't worry Luffy, I'm here!" said a small figure. It looked like a plush toy; it had a large pink hat on with an X on the front of it. Luffy, Zoro and Robin widened their eyes in shock as they saw who it was…
"Chopper?" Both Luffy and Zoro shouted, sweating greatly at this new revelation. Tsukune, Kurumu, Yukari, the crowd, Moka, everyone present were surprised by the recognition of the strange creature. Chopper was shivering but did his best to try and stare down Moka.
"I'll find her weakness!" he shouted holding up his hooves, scanning over her.
"Searching… searching… searching…" he muttered as he looked her up and down, when he got to her face, she was staring him down with her red slitted eyes, making the reindeer nearly faint.
"She has no weakness!" He said falling back to a tree and hiding on the wrong side of it.
"What is that creature, Strawhat?" Moka asked him firmly, but was surprised when he made a hard dash for the reindeer. Zoro and Robin had started going as well to him.
"Chopper, it's so good to see you! I didn't know when I'd see any of you guys!" Luffy shouted as he took the doctor into a hug tightly. Chopper was slightly confused, thinking it had only been a few minutes since he last saw his captain, but returned the hug happily anyways.
Tsukune, Kurumu and Yukari were still confused about what was going on, but only watched as things undolded.
"I can't believe it, Chopper… how did you get here?" Zoro asked slowly, still taking in that their crew's doctor was here.
"What do you mean? It's only been about twelve minutes?" Chopper asked now fully confused.
"So what the Exorcist said was true, only a few minutes have passed since we arrived here." Robin stated thoughtfully. Chopper looked at her confusedly.
"Strawhat!" A loud yell came, making Luffy flinch and turn to an angry Moka. She was radiating with a dark aura of anger.
"Oh sorry Moka I almost forgot, can we finish this fight later?" Luffy said as he smiled brightly. At that everything went silent for a second and then…
"WHAT?" practically everyone in the arena said, especially Moka. Her rage was pouring out, scaring Chopper to stand behind Zoro in fear of this new person.
"After all that fighting, you're going to give up now? Why Strawhat?" Moka demanded him after grabbing his shirt and getting in his face.
"This is my friend Chopper; I haven't seen him in forever! I promise we can fight another time ok?" He said with a big smile. She hesitated for a moment, giving a quick glance to Chopper who continually hid behind Zoro. She sighed in defeat and turned away from Luffy with a huff of annoyance.
"Fine Strawhat, we'll call this fight a draw for now." She said as she was about to walk away, but suddenly stopped. A sly smirk crawled onto her face and she turned back to Luffy again.
"But first you must pay a price for cutting this short." She said as she walked back over to him. He tilted his head in question at her.
That was a big mistake.
"Capachuu~"
"AHHH!" Luffy shrieked as she bit. Zoro, Tsukune, Kurumu and Yukari dropped their jaws as she did so. She continued to suck on his blood, loving its taste. Compared to Tsukune's, it tasted better to her. Tsukune's was sweeter, while Luffy's was full of power. Blood would carry the person's personality, and she was more favorable of Luffy's personality.
Finally she let go and smiled contently, while Luffy's eyes had grown into plates as he lay on the ground looking lifeless.
"There, I'll consider that your punishment. And by the way… thanks for the meal."
"Luffy? Luffy!" Chopper shouted scared as he looked him over. Moka walked away with her head held high and smiling. She was still upset that she didn't get to finish the fight, but she was quite happy with the end results. It was a really good meal…
To be continued…
And there you have it, I hope you all enjoyed! I bet you all didn't think I was gonna bring Chopper into this huh? Haha well expect a few more surprises along the way, until next time!
