"The sun is shining, the crowds are pumped, and the food is hot! It's a wonderful day for a tournament! Is everyone ready for the action?" Jam Kuradoberi cried out to her customers. Everyone was roaring with cheers and full mouths as she some how became the announcer for the fights.

"Each of the fighters today will be fighting with their hearts and soul's for your entertainment! I will be announcing one by one our competitors for this glorious event! WHO IS READY FOR ACTION?" Jam called out like a pro, getting the crowed pumped as the all screamed yes. She stretched up her hands and held out her hand like a showcased.

"First on our list is going is from our very village, you all know him quite well for his vast knowledge, intellect, and constantly having bodily bandages, it's ANJI MITO!"

She announced. The crowd roared once more as large fan flew into the middle of the arena. It expanded and grew larger, expanding out and revealing the silloute of a man. As the fan closed abruptly, Anji Mito was standing there, waving to the crowd. He launched up two butterflies from his fan up into the air, and then they exploded like fireworks, getting a rise from the crowd. Baiken stood up from the sake table and sighed shaking her head. She moved her opium pipe into a pocket within her garb and nodded to Sol.

"Such a dumbass…" she said, Sol giving a subtle nod as he rose up another sake cup, downing it. She stretched her one arm down to her toes then cracked her back, slowly walking over to the line of fighters. Litchi stood up from behind Jam's serving counter and walked out with her. She whispered in her ear and Jam nodded. She handed the microphone over to Litchi who stepped forward into the ring.

"Hello everyone! My name is Litchi Faye Ling, and I am here to announce the fighters from the Kagutsuchi Region! I hope everyone is having fun! Ok, the next fighter on the list, from Kaka village of the far division of Kagutsuchi, TAOKAKA!" Litchi announced happily. The crowd roared as they were taken abroad by the new beauty that has become the second announcer. As her name was called, Taokaka flew in from tree to tree until finally she landed. She raised her paws up and jumped up and down, enjoying all the attention. Litchi pulled out a meat bun from a plate and tossed it at Tao as hard as she could. Tao's eyes widened as she grabbed the meat bun in her mouth and scarfed it down hastily. Litchi then handed off the mic to Jam exchanging places.

"He's known as the notorious leader of the Jelly Fish Pirates, but I know him as a good customer and friend, JOHNNY!" she cried out, Johnny walked out from the line holding his hat down with a big smile. As he reached the middle, he waised up his hat to check everyone out through his shades. I pulled and apple out of his coat and tossed it up in the air. Tao saw it went to jump for it, but Johnny, with lightning speed, slashed up at the apple, returning his sword to his sheath instantly. As Tao went to grab it, it broke into two pieces. Tao blunk as both pieces hit the ground, followed by her devouring them mercilessly. Johnny bowed at all the clapping he received and reached into his coat once more. This time he removed a rose and lofted it towards Litchi. Litchi gave a big smile as she gracefully caught it in her palm, she then placed it in her hair next to Lao-chu. At the display, Bang's jaw dropped as he fell to the ground in defeat, punching the ground.

"My feelings will never be heard…." He said to himself as he sulked. Jam handed off the mic again to Litchi, who was still lightly blushing.

"Alright everyone let's have a nice round of…" Litchi spoke, she was cut off by the pure, concentrated amount of manliness that came from behind her. Bang took to the skies with his scarf as his parachute.

"Where there is darkness I am the light, where this is evil I am the justice, the hero of all, Bang Shishigami, has arrived!" He cried out dramatically as he flipped from high up onto the ground with a wind pressed landing. Everyone clapped and cheered as he arose with his dramatic pose, pointing at Johnny. Johnny cocked an eyebrow at the occurrence.

"I shall defeat you so that my true feeling for…" Bang tried to shout out but was drowned by the cheering crowd as the mic was handed off to Jam again. And once again, Bang sulked to himself before smiling once again to the crowd.

"Next up is our very own ninja! He's lightning quick and is unforgettable because of his "Unique" look and stylish moves, it's CHIPP ZANUFF!" she proclaimed. Leaves began to flurry through the middle of the fighting circle, circling almost as high as a tree, then with inhuman speed, all the leaves began to be cut into shreds. And as the last one was cut, Chipp could be seen on the ground in his ninja pose. The crowd when wild with excitement at the impressive display. Jam again passed the mic over to Litchi. Litchi turned around to look at Carl and signaled for it to be his turn. Carl waved his hands and shook his head, not wanting to fight. May got off the bench and pushed him up there.

"Come on Carl, you can do it! You better not lose til we get to fight!" she said vigorously. Carl stumbled forward underneath Litchi's arm then stood up. As he adjusted his top hat and metal bow-tie, the crowd cheered him on to help get him involved in the competition. He marveled at the amount of people cheering for him to go in. He noticed a few of the younger girls near him chatting it up.

"Oh my gosh! He's so cute!" one of the girls said. Carl blushed lightly and adjusted his glasses. Her friend beside her looked at Carl and smiled.

"You can do it! Give it your all!" she said with a big smile. Carl took a deep breath and looked around. He then gave a nice releaving sigh as he raised his hand, awakening Nirvana. He slowly walked out into the field smiling and waving at everyone as Nirvana slowly trounced behind him. Litchi smiled and called to the crowd.

"Next on the roster, the boy with the heart of gold, but the battling talent that is hard to rival. We have Carl Clover and his sister Ada!" She cheered out, winking at him as he began to smile and laugh more naturally, waving at everybody. Johnny gave a smile moved Carl's hat off of his head. Carl was surprised at first, but then Johnny ruffled his hair and gave his hat back.

"Way to be a man," Johnny said with a thumbs up and a cool, confident grin. Carl smiled up at him and nodded. Litchi handed the mic off to Jam once more, the length of the list slowly thinning. Jam walked forward again and stomped the ground.

"Next up is the fierce cannonball of the jellyfish pirates! Don't be fooled by her small size, because she's got the strength of two men, it's MAY!" She announced. May ran out into the middle of the circle then whistled loudly. A goofy looking dolphin bounced over to May balancing her signature oversized anchor on it's head. It then flipped and disappeared into nothingness as May grabbed a hold of her anchor, pressing it to the ground like a crutch as she perched herself on it. She waved to the crowd then lovingly gazed at Johnny as the other names were called. Jam this time balanced the microphone at the tip of her foot playfully, then slung it over to Litchi, who also caught and balanced it along he leg as she whirled around then knocked it into her hand. The crowd cheered at the impressive display as Litchi and Jam had a good laugh. Litchi then finally brought it back to her supple lips and continued the roll call.
