Chapter 12 – Pucho's Ability
The Snow Lion roared at the great cow with horns, it snorted great gusts of green smoke at the Lion which was blinded, the cow came ramming into the Lion's side driving its horns deep into its abdomen and flinging it into the sky, blood spilled onto the snow and the lion hit the ground dead.
The cow then began to glow a bright white, transformed back into a helmet and propelled itself back towards Skadi who caught and placed it back on her head.
"Ready?" asked zoro
"As ready as I'll ever be." She laughed
"We'll that was quick.' Said Palden in surprise "Useless creature."
Licue hissed while madly twirling her heads.
"Let's go!" cried Skadi as she and zoro ran into battle.
Luffy on the rocky cavern floor, no matter how hard he tried he couldn't find any way out "Damn it." He huffed "What am I gonna do!"
Luffy rose to his feet and walked to the snow covered entrance "Gattling gun!"
His fist pummeled the snow away but to no avail as more snow simply fell down and took it's place, Luffy gritted his teeth and moved faster but still it had no affect.
He stopped and walked back into the middle of the cavern, sat down in front of the fire place and attempted to light a fire, something he failed at.
"OK!" cried Luffy "I'm hungry, I'm cold and I'm stuck. Guess this is it."
Once more he approached the snow covered entrance "I have to get out some way."
His fist beat down against the snow causing it to fall on the cavern floor, some snow melting away due to the friction of Luffy's fists but alas his hands soon became numb with coldness "Darn it! What do I do!" he cried as more snow fell into place
"I'm NOT GONNA DIE HERE!" he screamed now becoming desperate "Despite his frozen hands he pummeled into the snow and began moving his legs to keep warm, suddenly he felt something change in his body, his legs seemed to pump due his movements and his blood rate moved quicker.
"What's going on." He wondered, he continued the same movement and his skin turned a slight shade of pink, his sweat quickly became steam and helped to melt the snow away.
"I know this feeling." He thought "I'M GETTING OUT NOW! GOMU GOMU NO JET GATTLING!"
Luffy's fists vanished from human sight as his blows cause the snow to burst apart, ir was like several bombs had been hidden in the snow as luffy punched his way through his heated body melting it away, his blows didn't stop and at last he burst out into the fresh air, leaping high into the air "I DID IT!!!" he cried in joy and triumph.
Pucho and Nagual raced at one another clenched their fists and drove them into each others faces, however due to his injured arm Pucho's blow was less effective, he quickly swung his spear at Nagual who's head transformed into the wolf and caught it between his jaws, however before he could snap it in two Pucho leaped and landed both feet on Nagual's shoulder he kicked of pulling hi spear free and landing a few feet away.
"This is more fun than I expected." Smiled Nagual "Who'd have thought you could match me."
"You should never underestimate your opponents." Grinned Pucho
Pucho and Nagual leaped at one another and collided in midair, quickly Pucho transformed into the owl form and snatched Nagual in his talons, he plummeted towards the ground and slammed Nagual down hard, however the snow absorbed most of the impact.
"Damn it!" snapped Pucho as he raced into the sky.
"You can't escape." Laughed Nagual as he bent his legs and leaped high into the sky much to Pucho's amazement, then with Nagual opened his mouth and howled. Pucho was stunned as he was hit by a blast of sound waves.
Pucho lost his equilibrium and fell straight down into the snow reverting to his human form.
"Jeez." Sighed Nagual a she landed on all fours "Never thought that thye wolf echo would beat him in one hit, such a disappointment."
"W-what d-did I say…" choked Pucho as he rose himself up with his good arm "About…. Underestimating… your opponent!"
"Hahahah." Laughed Nagual "You want another one?"
Pucho was back on his feet, his spear gripped tightly in his hand "You're not the only one with abilities."
"Nagual didn't wait for anything to happen, he charged at top speed toward Pucho who's spear began to glow an eerie red.
Nagual sensing danger stopped "What the hell kind of power is this." He snapped "You can't have this power, what are you!"
Pucho grinned with a strange hint of pleasure in his eyes "I'm tired of playing around." He answered "I told you I'm gonna save the village from all of you, and I'm gonna kill Genii."
"Didn't you hear them." Laughed Nagual "He has no body, he is almost immortal, no one knows how to kill him!"
"Your overconfidence is pitiful." Sighed Pucho as his spear was now bright red, it was covered in flames yet did not burn his hand or the snow around it.
Nagual looked at Pucho in terror "Your not normal."
"Obviously." Laughed Pucho "But then again no one in this world really is, look at you and all those creature your master and the graet demon created, once straw hat finds out about the secret of those monsters he's not going to be happy, that will be the trigger I use to have him eliminate the great demon of the north."
"You!" cried Nagual "I know who you are!'
Pucho laughed "Do you, I'm a man who stood up for what I believed in and was cursed by Genii and now with this power that I've obtained, I'll get my revenge on him."
"What the hell are you talking about?" snarled Nagual "Your not fooling me. I know who you really are!"
"Oh well.' Sighed Pucho "Die, Blaze of the Heavens!"
Pucho's flaming spear extended high into the sky, Nagual watched it.
"What kind of attack was that?" laughed Nagual "I'll kill you now ah…:
Nagual never finished as a beam of hot red fire came soaring down from the sky and engulfed the wolf-man.
Nagual howled in pain and as his body burned "WHAT IS THIS!!!!"
Pucho laughed as from the feet upwards Nagual's body began to disintegrate.
"This is only a fraction of my power wolf." He laughed, then snapping his fingers the fire blew apart and incinerated Nagual completely sending the flames outward in a wild circular motion which this time did indeed melt the snow to nothing.
"Wolf's should keep their mouths shut." He laughed as his spear vanished into the now rocky earth.
The snow had melted completely. They Snowy Mountain had now just become the Rocky Mountains.
Wow what's going on?" wondered Luffy "I better hurry!"
