Another chapter of Diamond's craziness. XD Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, heartbeat, you are the one; go ahead~! By the way, I realized I made a mistake in the last chapter, so I corrected it. Dorry carries a longsword, not a battleaxe. Yeah, well, here are my replies to reviews on the previous chapter:
Otaku-san32: The other one's Miss Goldenweek. She'll have a great advantage over Diamond since she's going through PMS, and her power allows her to mess with emotions and stuff. XD Er... Miss Wednesday is Vivi. Just to say. The last partner they're facing is my OC enemy, Miss Holy Saturday, whose powers shall be revealed in due time but not now. Don't worry, you'll find out. And the truth's gonna blow your mind. :D
DarkLord98: Yeah, but it would suck having to have periods and stuff, and to have other guys stare at you because you have a girl's body and all. Still, you're right, it would be kind of interesting to have Damon's curse. And thanks for the clarification.
Chapter 14 start!
The Enormous Duel Commences!
Dorry VS Brogy Round One!
Previously on One Piece Full Blast:
I got to my feet, massaging my butt. Even with the cushioning effect of my water, I had still managed to hurt myself a little. I took notice of a shell-shocked Vivi and Carue, then turned around.
My jaw dropped.
Looming over us was a massive giant with an equally massive longsword.
Okay, I actually made a mistake. Lucy hadn't landed on the ground as I had thought. She'd been caught by the giant and was now staring up at him, sparkles around her. I sweatdropped. Here was this enormous giant, as tall as those volcanoes, and she wasn't even batting an eyelash. She just thought it was amazingly cool.
The giant was wrapped in a blue cape and wore a shield on the arm he was holding Lucy with. He had a helmet and a crazy Dumbledore beard, except his was brown, not white. He was grinning cheerfully at my captain, his sword not even covered in blood. He had a fur Viking-like outfit underneath his cloak, which I had to admit was kind of cool.
"You and that other girl were playing with the Long Necks in the jungle," he boomed, laughing loud enough to shake the trees. "What lively humans!"
"I wanted to have an adventure," Lucy explained. "Diamond-chan was just PMS'ing."
I double tic-pulsed, angry enough that I probably had a shark-like expression. "WHY WOULD YOU TELL HIM THAT!? IT'S NOT TRUE! I WANTED TO GO ON AN ADVENTURE TOO, YA KNOW!"
The giant laughed again, seemingly amused by our antics. "It's been a long time since I've had a guest!"
"You're so HUGE!" my captain said, as though it wasn't obvious enough already. "Are you human?"
"ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME!?" I bellowed, shaking my fist in frustration.
Vivi sweatdropped. "It's not worth it, Diamond-chan."
Carue quacked in agreement, also sweatdropping.
"You're asking if I'm human?" the giant thundered cheerfully. "GYAGYAGYAGYA! I, and I alone, am Elbaf's mightiest warrior, Dorry!" Dorry raised his sword into the air proudly. 'GYAGYAGYAGYA! I'm a giant!"
Vivi, who had fallen on her knees, gulped. "A g-giant... I've never seen one. I've only heard about them in stories..."
I nodded. "They don't exist back home. In my world, they're just myths, the stuff of fairy tales and fantasy novels."
Up in Dorry's hand, Lucy grinned. "You're a giant, eh? Ore wa Monkey D. Lucy! A kaizoku!"
"GYAGYAGYAGYA! A kaizoku? That's great! GYAGYAGYAGYA!"
Carue must've passed out some time in the past minute, because Vivi had started shaking him, saying, "Carue, wake up! Let's run away before it's too late!"
I shrugged. "He seems to be friendly enough. I mean, he's laughing all the time and he hasn't done anything except save me and Lucy... AND WE WOULDN'T HAVE NEEDED SAVING IF LUCY HADN'T WANTED TO GO ON HER STUPID ADVENTURES!"
Vivi sweatdropped again. "Okay, really though, that's enough with the PMS'ing..."
"URUSAI! I AM NOT PMS'ING!"
Lucy pointed at us, making Dorry look in our direction. "Ah, see those guys?" she said. "The blue haired girl's Vivi, the duck's Carue, and the brown haired one's Diamond-chan."
"The one who's PMS'ing?" Dorry guessed.
"Yup! They're my nakama!"
"I'M NOT PMS'ING, DAMMIT!"
Vivi's eye twitched as badly as mine was. "Lucy-san, why did you say that?" she hissed.
The giant laughed some more. "GYAGYAGYAGYA! Hey, you guys! I'll show you my place. GYAGYAGYAGYA!" Lucy readily agreed, and Dorry picked up me, Vivi, and Carue, crashing through the jungle to the hollow mountain. Ironic since that's where Lucy wanted to go in the first place.
Once we were there, he cooked us up some dinosaur meat from the Long Neck that he'd killed in order to save Lucy and I. Lucy was still sitting in his hand while the delicious-smelling meat roasted on a huge, hot fire, laughing along with the giant.
"GYAGYAGYAGYA!"
"Shishishi!"
"GYAGYAGYAGYA!"
"Shishishi!"
Finally, the meat was done and we were each given a rind, though the desert princess quickly declined the offer. Lucy and I, on the other hand, tore into the meat with the hunger of Sanji whenever a girl's in the same room he is. It was so awesome! A perfect mix of tender, chewy, sweet, and smokey. I wondered how it would taste in a stuffed pepper.
"This stuff is great, Giant-ossan!" Lucy said happily, already halfway through her (literally) giant sized slab of dinosaur meat.
He leaned down and laughed again. "That kaizoku bento wasn't too bad, either! Though it was a bit small. GYAGYAGYAGYA!"
"Shishishi! You bet! That was a special lunch made by my kaizoku ship's cook! If you'd have said it was bad, I would've had to kick your ass!"
"GYAGYA - - kick my ass?"
Vivi, sitting with me and Carue in the grass, stared up at them in sudden terror. Carue, who had recovered from his fainting spell, nearly blacked out again in shock, his Special Drink pouring out of his bill in a mini waterfall.
"GYAGYAGYAGYA! What a funny girl!" Dorry thundered, slapping his knee cheerfully.
The bluenette sweatdropped. "They're so friendly with each other..."
"As long as she doesn't ask him to join our crew, it's fine by me," I told her seriously, tearing another chunk of meat off my enormous rind. I may not have an appetite like Lucy, but the meat was so good I couldn't stop eating it!
The straw hatted girl in question chewed some more meat herself. "Anyway, ossan, why are you living all alone out here?" she asked. "Don't you have a village or something?"
Dorry suddenly grew wistful, looking off the island dreamily. "Yeah, I have a village," he said quietly - - well, as quiet as a giant can be. "It's called Elbaf, the Village of Warriors. Somewhere out on the Grand Line. But our village has laws."
"Laws?" Lucy repeated.
I smirked. "Is there an echo here?"
Vivi hit me in the back of my head. "That's just getting old now."
"Hai, laws. For example," the giant began, "To settle a fight, each of the opponents must leave the village and accept the judgement of our kami, Elbaf. Elbaf grants divine protection unto the rightful victor. That rightful victor is allowed to live."
"Your kami, Elbaf?" Lucy echoed. Vivi shot me a glare before I could say anything.
I blinked. "I just realized something. 'Elbaf' is 'fable' spelled backward." Of course, everyone ignored me, and I hung my head in a cloud of depression.
Dorry sighed. "Well, I started a feud. And to this day, another man and I have used this island as our dueling ground. The rightful victor shall triumph and survive. GYAGYAGYAGYA! But it's been a hundred years and we still haven't settled it! GYAGYAGYAGYA!"
Lucy stared at him. "You guys have been fighting for a hundred years?"
"That's freakin' LONG!" I choked out. I tried to imagine fighting the same person that long. That would take some serious stamina. When Dorry said he was Elbaf's mightiest warrior he wasn't kidding. I couldn't even wrap my mind around fighting someone for so long.
He grinned at us. "Surprised? It's nothing to be surprised about! We giants live three times longer than you little pipsqueaks. GYAGYAGYAGYA!"
Vivi stepped forward, looking serious. "But even if you live three times as long, fighting for a hundred years!? Shouldn't you have gotten tired of it? Is there still a reason to just keep fighting? You could die, right!?"
I smirked at her. "Oi, Vivi. We could die if we take you with us, but we're still taking you, right? It's the same thing. He knows he can die, but he just doesn't care. The reason doesn't matter. This isn't about that. This is a thing about honor, princess."
"GYAGYAGYAGYA!" Dorry boomed, his long beard bouncing as he laughed. "You're quite wise for a human, Diamond-chan!"
I waved dismissively. "No, I'm not wise. I'm just a psychic, that's all."
BOOM.
One of the volcanoes had erupted, the one in the middle. Dorry noticed this and sighed, suddenly serious again. He stood up, setting Lucy down on the ground next to us. I still wasn't hot or even warm, but Vivi was sweating her skin off and even Lucy looked a little warm. Maybe it was something to do with my demigodishness? I'd have to ask Aeso about it the next time I saw him.
"Wow!" Lucy gasped, staring at the volcano, which was still going off. "That's one HUGE explosion!"
"Time for me to go," Dorry, grabbing his sword and shield. We all looked up at him. Something had changed in him... like he'd grown homesick or something. "I forget when we decided," he began, "but the erupting of the center mountain signals the start of our battle."
"But that's..." Vivi started.
I cut her off with a hand held horizontally in front of her. "Remember, Vivi. This is their honor we're talking about. For a true man, honor is one of the most valuable things one can have. Dorry and his friend would risk their lives to uphold their honor. They don't hate each other."
"She's right," Lucy said quietly. Her expression was shadowed behind her straw hat, but her voice was solemn. "Don't interrupt." She finally looked up, and her usual happy-go-lucky expression had morphed into a far more serious one. "Honor is what this is about. I won't let anyone get in the way of a man's duel."
The desert princess frowned and knocked my hand away.
"Exactly," agreed Dorry. "For a warrior, honor is EVERYTHING!" The huge man let out a battle cry that shook the island and charged forward, each step filled with enough power to crush all the trees under it. "You want a reason?" He clashed weapons with another giant who carried an enormous battleax, the shock wave emanating throughout the valley and blowing our hair back. I stared in awe. What power! "I FORGOT THE REASON YEARS AGO!"
We stared in impressed silence as the giants attacked each other with brutal force, each swipe aimed at a vital point - - the neck, the chest, the head, et cetera. Vivi's jaw dropped and so did mine. Carue's eyes popped out of his duck head. Lucy was so awed she simply fell backwards, her hat rolling off her head and landing in the grass a foot away.
"W-What's wrong?" Vivi asked her.
Lucy blew steam out of her mouth. "Incredible," she breathed. Her eyes wide. "They're so HUGE!"
"THAT'S WHAT YOUR IMPRESSED ABOUT!?" I screamed at her, more shocked than I had been at the force of the giants' explosive attacks. "JUST LOOK AT THEM FIGHT! EACH BLOW HAS ENOUGH POWER TO DECIMATE A FORTRESS! I've never seen anything like it..."
The humongous battle raged on, the ground shaking ceaselessly. A T-Rex tried sneaking up on us with our backs turned, but I felt it behind me and took it out with a quick round of Tempest Boxing, making it fly back into the underbrush of the jungle.
And all the while, Dorry and his friend duked it out with all their massive might.
We are shining, running, forever~! Yeah, I can't stop singing that new opening song for One Piece. XD I'm pretty sure my classmates think I'm nuts. lol. Hey, can you blame me? It was awesome. It showed a freakin' battle between LUFFY and AKAINU, and the beginning of a battle against BLACKBEARD! Plus the song is just so awesome it totally gets you pumped for the series. I CANNOT wait for the rest of the Dressrosa Arc to come out on the anime. (I don't really read the manga 'cuz it's confusing). BTW, yes! I have no school tomorrow because it's gonna be too cold! (-4 with a wind chill of -15 here in Ohio.)
Diamond: Holy shit... that battle... it's FREAKIN' EPIC!
Vivi: I really don't understand you sometimes...
Lucy: Giants are HUGE.
Diamond: *sweatdrops* No duh...
Usopp: I'm feeling left out.
