"The Sanji fight...is my...second...favorite...from the manga."
So the rest of the Strawhats finally finished their battles with badass. I mean Link friggen revived himself. Sanji was equal matched with a gay despite the stats. Zoro can finally cut iron. Misty is very proficient in using her new weapons/powers. That was all great. But each of their battles only took at most ten minutes. Zoro couldn't move but the others went ahead. It wasn't till about 2 pm all groups reached the castle. Then hundreds of big men appeared and started to stab anyone. Luffy rocketed himself and Kohza onto the castle. Smoker blasted himself. Pell flew Cobra up.
Battle 5: Crocodile and Metroid vs Luffy, Smoker, Cobra, Pell, and Kohza
"Well well well, we have the leader of the Strawhats, a leader of the Marines, the leader of the rebels, and the King of Alabasta himself."
"Yo," said Luffy. Kohza nodded, Cobra ignored, and Smoker smoked.
"I wish Metroid were still here to take care of Pell but eh I could do it."
Quicksand Chopper!
"Who's next?"
"Crocodile..."
"Actually I almost forgot to ask, but Cobra just where did you put your dragon ball?"
"In my asshole"
"...Wait are you actually serious?"
"No of course not. Igaram has had it the entire time he's been spying in your organization."
"Well. Shit. I guess we will have to find him after all."
"Actually Crocodile, I just got word he was a few miles away from shore," said Metroid coming in.
"Oh nice. You see? Everything works for me."
"I'm Monkey D. Luffy *pulls blue arm back* and you are finished!" Luffy punches Crocodile through a wall.
"Wait wtf?"
"I lost my water jug earlier. Because I was thirsty. But then Joy gave me a special 'water stone' to rub against myself. I was supposed to evolve into something but apparently it takes time. But I still partially have a few powers of the sea!" DOOM. "I'm Water Water Luffy!"
"Here we go. Metroid, stay back."
Then all of the sudden, the castle that was made out of sandstone started to loosen. It was shrinking as the rest jumped off. Darude Desertification
A giant wave of sand swarmed the city practically destroying anything. Nothing stood in the sandstorm's way. It took five minutes for the dust to clear. Tashigi, Zoro, and green yoshi were under some rubble. Earlier he had told her that she looks identical to his dead friend Kuina. Kuina died falling down the stairs. Tashigi just survived the most dangerous sandstorm in the world. Yeah.
So both Kohza and Cobra realized they shouldn't fight. They made sure to apologize to each other tho. Luffy was standing with cuts all over and less blue but acted like nothing happened. Smoker was a cloud of smoke so he was actually unharmed.
Smoker charged at Crocodile. He also used White Out, to trap him. Darude Samdstorm. Crocodile covered himself in a more invisible field. He was also able to intimidate Smoker.
"My top half wasn't smoke but I need it to fight him. The sands really cut," he said to Luffy while blood gushed out of his chest.
"Just talk to my doctor. I got this!" DOOM
"I just used a single castle to destroy an entire city and you still want to fight me? In fact I can use any sand or dust within the city walls. I have dispersed my conscious this much. I'm omnipotent over you-"
Crocodile was cut off by Luffy stamping him into the ground. He disappeared in the endless pile of sand. Then several Crocodiles popped up. Luffy was surrounded so when they charged he used Gum Gum Water Gatling! None were the real one. The sand started swarming and then Luffy started to sink. Then Red yoshi grabbed his hand out of the sand onto a stable platform.
"Nice job!"
A crocodile's mouth appeared so they jumped. It ate the platform turning it into sand. Yoshi started to run around so the sand couldn't catch up. Luffy was riding him. Then Croc started to trap them inside a pyramid. It was dark inside and the walls seemed to be closing in. Luffy started punching everywhere. Then he felt Croc grabbing an arm from outside. Luffy let go of yoshi to rocket into Croc.
Croc dispersed again instead. Then Liffy was suddenly thrown into the air. Sand spikes were under him. They flew up cutting him all over. Then a tornado went a blew him into the air. Croc became a part of the sandado and carried Luffy over to the people.
"This is his execution..."
The tornado stop and Luffy wasn't blue any more. "You must've forgotten, I can suck the moisture out of you. Desertification!" Then more sand spikes went through Luffy leaving him like that.
Battle 6: Crocodile vs Any Remaining
The army got scared and ran away. Only the Strawhats were left. Yugi stepped in front.
Exodia, the Forbidden One (4000 Atk)
Croc destroyed the card before Exodia made its attack. Darude Sandstorm. Sanji was able to take Yugi out of the way. Then Misty used Bombos Smash! It glassified Croc but another him appeared behind her, drying her too. Link used his Pegasus Boots and ran.
That's it! If Luffy is done, there is nothing the rest of us can do! What were we thinking even coming here? Even Samus said we should at least be level twenty. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't become a great warrior of the sea...
Crocodile quickly took out anyone else. It was basically genocide. But before going after the marines he wanted to finish Link. While running aimlessly he seemed to see many Crocs. He thought it was a mirage a first but then he decided it doesn't matter if Luffy is dead or not, he is still a great warrior of the sea. So he slashed through the real Croc randomly. Crocodile was surprised but dried Link anyways.
...
"Hey bae," Sanji spoke so dryly
"Sanji?"
"Since we've got here you had beautiful shining skin..."
"Thanks?"
"...But now as I stare, you are even more sweaty than when Croc got you. Your hair is frizzy too."
"A storm!"
The both looked up and the sky was quickly covered by dark clouds. Rain and lightning came with it. Being absolutely dry, they only opened their mouths so water could be drunk. Ten minutes later, Luffy coughed.
Battle 7: Luffy vs Crocodile
Crocodile was about to enter the underground ruins (under the castle), when Luffy punched him out of nowhere.
"Wonderful weather we are having, huh Croco?"
"Shut the fuck up."
The rain was pouring down hard now. Darude Sandstorm. Luffy decided to ride the sand up into the sky. Croc followed. They reached above the rain clouds where the clouds seemed solid. Luffy now had his cheeks full of water and would spit some on his arm when attacking.
Gum Gum Water Pistol!
Sand Cutter...a sweep of his arm as sand. Cutting attack
Gum Gum Water Whip
Dispersal
Gum Gum Water Bazooka
Dispersal
Gum Gum Water Bomb!
Dispersal
Gum Gum Water Gatling
Combine! And Great Nile Eater
Bubble Beam!
Sand Spikes
The water bubbles and spikes hit the other at the same time. So Luffy grabbed Croc and dunked him under the clouds. He ballooned and twisted himself. It was still raining and Crocodile was getting too muddy to keep his sand form. Staying human through would be fatal with Luffy's flying fist. An ingenious trap.
Gum Gum Rainstorm!
Even upon touching the ground, Luffy kept punching. Cobra watched in surprise. He's...he's punching to the ruins! That's bedrock, how powerful!
After the attack, the fighters ended up in the ruins. It was ten feet below the surface. Metroid was there too, reading the hieroglyphics.
"Bro! Where are the god cards? Any one of them would be helpful right now."
"Oh you're injured. Luffy must be really great."
"Yeah so?"
"I don't think I'll stay on your side anymore. Luffy, what are your goals?"
"To become the Pirate King."
"Haha, why would you want such a useless title like that? The government will just hate you more."
"That's doesn't even matter. I've always wanted the freedom to sail anywhere. That's what being the Pirate King means."
"Ah! You see Crocodile, with men like this there is no reason I should side with you. He is a rising star against the government."
"You bitch..."
"Let's finish this Croco! Then the Broke Works will be defeated and you can't hurt these people anymore!"
Croc charged at him with his hook going first. Luffy grabbed onto the arm and forced the hook onto the ground breaking it. "No cheats. A manly fist fight."
Croc realized Luffy could still touch him with all the blood all over Luffy's arm. They attacked each other ,at hung blow for blow. They were both going 100%. Luffy should've already been dead but still kept going. He went balloon again and twisted his body. Croco stood back knowing what happens next. GUM GUM STORM!
Luffy leveled up!
