Commencing: Fan Fiction: Ouroboros: Chapter Eleven


Chapter Eleven

"Urgh!" The man hit the ground with a thud. His lips were cracked and bleeding, his limbs bent at weird angles caused by Sanji's vicious kicking, and almost every where on his body was bleeding.

Sanji walked over, and picked up the man by his collar.

"Release them!" He snarled, pointing at his struggling crew mates. "Release them NOW!"

"Never!" The man snarled back, and coughed up blood. Sanji took the man and thrust him into the stone wall with all his strength.

"Release them!" Sanji demanded. The man gasped as his ribs (the ones that weren't broken already) were broke, but shook his head weakly.

"Fine!" Sanji threw the man up into the air, and jumped upwards, and kicked the man into the wall. The man hit the wall, making a huge dent, and slid down to the stone ground. He didn't move.

Slowly, there came sounds that made Sanji more happy than he had ever been. Sounds of muttering, confused voices that came from the figures strapped to the pillars.

"Oi!" Came Luffy's voice, and Sanji turned to face his captain, his heart bursting with relief. While the others were still looking around confused, Luffy had already spotted Sanji. "Sanji! Why are we here?"

"I'll explain that, Luffy." Sanji said with a smile.

"What's going on?" Nami said in a shaky voice. Usopp groaned. "I don't know, but I know that I nearly died…."

"Reeeally?" Chopper stared Usopp in amazement.

"Yes, but then my warrior skills saved me!" Usopp said proudly.

Only this time, did Sanji decide to not be modest. "Actually Usopp," Sanji interfered. "You didn't save yourself. I did." He laughed at Usopp's pout, seeing that Usopp was clearly annoyed that his lie had been proved wrong. But Usopp didn't retort with a 'smarty pants' comment like he usually did in these sort of cases.

"Naaaami-swan!" Sanji noodle danced towards Nami. "I've missed youuuu!" Nami smiled at his movements that were more crazier than before. "Allow me to untie you from those dreaded knots." Sanji said.

"Thank you, Sanji-kun." Nami said.

"Sanji-san! Watch out!" Brooke warned, struggling to slip out of the chains.

"Huh?" Sanji turned. A black tentacle shot towards him, and slammed him into the wall.

Cries from his crew mates echoed in his ears as he stood up.

"Damn it!" He muttered. "I forgot about the shitty jellyfish."

The jellyfish hummed for a moment, and surprisingly, Sanji found himself understanding the jellyfish.

Wel,l you shouldn't have. The jellyfish said in a way that reminded Sanji of Zoro.

"Well, you should have left us alone!" Sanji found himself blurting out the answer.

What, and lose my precious food? The jellyfish sneered and hummed at the same time.

"Now I'm going to have to beat you up!" Sanji yelled.

"The heck are you talking about, Ero-Cook?" Zoro demanded as Sanji whipped out a cigarette. In all the action and confusion, Sanji had forgotten about the cigarettes, and now was in desperate need of one.

"You wouldn't understand, Marimo." Sanji retorted. "Check that, you never understand ANYTHING due to the lack of brain cells you have!"

Robin giggled under her breath, and Sanji knew that she found his insult funny, though she almost never did.

"Screw this! Loosen these chains, you damn cook!" Zoro roared.

"Who, me?" Sanji looked at Zoro with mock amazement. "I thought you were strong enough to get out of the chains, Marimo!"

"Shut up!"

Sanji sighed. "I am so disappointed in you, Marimo."

"SHUT UP!"

Sanji laughed and turned to face the jellyfish. His eyes widened.

"Whoa!" Sanji jumped into the air and avoided a pair of tentacles that shot towards him.

"Serves you right." Zoro snickered.

"Quiet, you little weak Marimo!"

"WHAT DID YOU SAY!?"

Sanji ran towards the jellyfish, heating up his leg as he ran. He jumped, spun in the air, and kicked out at the jellyfish's dome like body. A wall of tentacles rose up to meet him.

"Diable Jambe!" Sanji kicked at the tentacles, and they evaporated. He leaped back before they could catch him.

"Go Sanji, Go!" Luffy cheered, oblivious to the fact that Sanji most likely would die if he was caught by the tentacles. "Go Sanji, GO!"

"Shut up, Luffy!" Sanji yelled. But that just made Luffy cheer harder.

Sanji sighed as he flipped backwards, away from the tentacles. "Just how many tentacles do you have?" He panted.

A lot. The jellyfish hummed. So many that you can't beat me.

Sanji knew it was right. During the battle, they must've took out over a hundred tentacles, yet this jellyfish still had more to spare. He couldn't manage to beat the jellyfish alone. And for that, he needed his crew mates.

"I wonder…" Sanji mused aloud. "If your tentacles are faster, or my leg."

Huh? The jellyfish hummed.

Sanji turned and slammed his foot right at the nearest pillar with great force. Unsurprisingly, the pillar crumbled, and the crew mate tied to the pillar stood up and took off the chains.

"Yay! Now I can fight too!" Luffy said happily as he cracked his knuckles.

"Luffy," Sanji said. "Stall the shitty jellyfish while I free the others."

"Okay!" Luffy grinned, and bent down, and placed his fist on the ground. The moment his fist touched the ground, Luffy's cheery expression faded into one of pure determination.

"Gear Second!"

As Luffy stalled the jellyfish, Sanji raced across the pillars, shattering every single one with a well aimed kick.

"Thank you, Sanji-san." Robin said as she brushed the dust of marble of her, and Sanji's heart did a little dance when he heard it.

When he came to Zoro, he stopped and looked at Zoro. "Should I?" Sanji mused.

"Oh, no…" Zoro snarled. "Don't. You. Frickin'. Dare."

"Should I?" Sanji mused on.

"Sanji-kun, it's best if you let Zoro go. We need him." Nami said as she readied her climatac.

"Fine. Whatever you say, Nami-swan." Sanji said, and shattered Zoro's marble pillar.

Idiot! The jellyfish screeched. The underwater cave will collapse in an amount of time without the pillars to support it!

The crew (apart from Sanji) stared at the jelly fish in amazement. Luffy even stopped hammering it to stare at the jellyfish.

"It… talked!" Franky stared at the jellyfish. "It talked!" He repeated.

"Coooool!" Luffy's eyes sparkled. "Talking Mystery Jellyfish!"

"Luffy, this is not the time to get distracted!" Zoro yelled, and unsheathed his katana.

"I agree with Zoro-san." Robin crossed her arms.

"Yohohoho!" Brooke laughed, and unsheathed his cane sword, or whatever (Sanji still hadn't figure out what to call it).

"Fine." Luffy pouted, then cracked his knuckles. "We just have to beat the mystery talking elephant jellyfish, right?"

Sanji wondered why he had added the word 'elephant'.

They charged.

A wave of tentacles rose up to meet them, but Luffy, Zoro and Sanji brought it down before it could inflict any harm on the Straw Hats. Robin swept aside tentacles that tried to attack them from the side, and Nami electrocuted the rest of the tentacles, saying happily "Water conducts electricity!" Brooke was yohohoing madly, bringing down any tentacles that opposed him. Franky and Usopp were back to back, firing at tentacles that tried to come near them. Chopper was leaping from side to side, dodging any tentacles, and when the tentacles showed an opening, Chopper would blast the tentacles away with a well aimed punch. Luffy, Zoro and Sanji took on the jellyfish while the others stalled the attacking tentacles. Sanji flipped into the air, and bellowed "Diable Jambe: Collier Strike!" And hurtled down towards the jellyfish's body, his foot burning. A tentacle rose up to intercept him, but only evaporated when Sanji's foot came in contact with it. Sanji shot down towards the jellyfish, his foot still burning. Suddenly, tentacles shot towards him, and unable to change direction, Sanji was absorbed in it. A rubbery arm shot towards Sanji, grabbed him and yanked him back to the ground. Luffy's arm snapped back to place.

"You okay, Sanji?" He asked.

"Yeah," Sanji replied. "Just got caught off guard."

"I thought you'd be stronger than that, Ero-cook." Zoro smirked.

Sanji scowled. "Shut up, Marimo!"

Zoro grunted and charged at the tentacles, about to release a full power 'Kokujo: O Tatsumaki'. Luffy followed, smoke rising from his body, his arm drawn back, ready to punch. Sanji charged at the tentacles.

"Kokujo..."

"Gomu Gomu No..."

"Diable Jambe..."

"O Tatsumaki!"

"Red Hawk!"

"Poêle à Frire: Spectre!"

The jellyfish roared in anger as angry red marks and slashes appeared on it's body, made by the Monster Trio's attacks. It seemed that the jellyfish's body was the only part of the jellyfish that was not made out of water. Sanji sensed that the tentacles, after the attacks on the jelly fishes body, were moving slower, and didn't have as much accuracy like before. He grinned in satsification. The jellyfish was wounded. If they could keep it up, the jellyfish would die in no time!

The cave rumbled, and bits of rock fell down from the ceiling, landing on the ground with a huge thud, and making all the Straw Hats jump.

"We better end this quick, Luffy." Sanji said, taking the cigarette out of his mouth and puffing out a cloud of smoke.

"Okay." Luffy said, and steam started rising from his body again.

And the Monster Trio charged, determined to kill the jellyfish.

Sanji made himself think, for the second time, about his staying at Kammabakka Kingdom and Absalom peeking at Nami. He felt the anger sear through his body, filling him with deadly anger. "Hell Memories!"

Zoro charged at the jellyfish from the side. "Santoryu Ogi: Rokudo no Tsuji!" He bellowed.

Luffy leapt into the air, the fist that he had inflated stretched back. "Gear Third!" He roared.

And together, the Monster Trio struck the jellyfish. It screeched and roared, filling Sanji's ears with an unnatural, blood-curdling shriek. Sanji cupped his hands over his ears as the jellyfish screamed. All around him, the tentacles were dropping, lifeless, onto the hard ground. Finally, after screaming it's heart out, the jellyfish sunk. It sank until the rippling black waves submerged it, and the tentacles were dragged into the churning ocean. Sanji stared at the place where the jellyfish had just been.

"We.. won." He stammered.

"That was easy." Zoro grunted, and sheathed his swords.

"Aw..." Luffy moaned. "The jellyfish died... He can't be part of our crew anymore..."

Sanji walked over to Luffy and smacked him. "You idiot!" He roared. "The jellyfish would have killed us!"

"You guys won!" Usopp and the rest of the crew ran towards them. "We won!"

Sanji glanced up at the trembling ceiling, and looked back at the partying Straw Hats. "And now," He said. "We're dead."

The ceiling came crashing down on them.
