Somewhere, far far away...

A dark mass flew by, covering a lush forest in a nightly cloak, before leaving it in daylight once more. Far off the coasts of Ishgar, another ship reached the borders, and the crew descended from their vessel to observe the new land they have arrived upon.

"We're here captain." Said one of the crew mates.

"are you sure this is Ishgar?" Asked the captain.

"positive."

"Good." Said the captain as he drew his saber, "then let's get going, he's awakened at the worst time possible, and we are the only ones who can stop him."

"what about Blackbeard?" Asked the same crew mate.

"ignore him, if we let "him" have his fun, Blackbeard won't stand a chance, right now, we need to focus on our primary goal: save the Strawhats from the upcoming disaster."

meanwhile...

''Come on, Sanji, fit me with ya best shot.'' Burgess taunted, leaving his chest and face wide open for an attack.

Sanji, however, ignored his order, walking right by him, near Mira's unconscious body. He bent down, embracing her in his arms.

''such terrible wounds.'' he said, ''Thank you for protecting me, Mira. I will ow make sure to finish this fight quickly.''

''hehe, you let your guard down Sanji.'' thought Burgess as he ran in, winding up another punch.

GALLION LARIAT!

A huge shockwave swept the entire battlefield, causing friend and foe alike to topple over. As the smoke cleared however, Burgess's eyes widened, witnessing Sanji, stopping his full-power blow with just one hand.

''You've really done it now.''

Sanji kicked Burgess in the stomach, sending him flying into the air as he coughed out blood.

''A-aright... went through... A few miscalculations, but... still nothing... I-I can't handle.'' Uttered Burgess as he struggled to catch his breath.

Suddenly, Burgess felt a hand grabbing him by the back of the neck mid-air. He turns around to see who it is, only to go face to face with Sanji.

''So fast...'' he thought.

''I'm not done with you yet.'' Said Sanji as he raised his leg, kicking back down to the ground. Sanji then pursued him on his way down, delivering a barrage of kicks and smashing Burgess through several buildings.

''Crap, I didn't want to use this, but you leave me no choice.'' though Burgess, reaching into his pocket, pulling out a gun, ''EAT MY HAKI INFUSED MAGIC SEALING BULLETS!''

Burgess fired two rounds at Sanji, who dodged them with ease, but was taken by surprise when Burgess charged at him after the second bullet was fired, embedding his fist into Sanji sides.

GOD CRUSHER SIDE PUNCH! (hey, he's a wrestler, he needs cheesy attack names)

The punch was strong enough to send Sanji flying through several other buildings across Magnolia, before landing by a lake, only a few yards away from the main battlefield.

BULL TACKLE!

Burgess charged after him right after punching him, and hit him into the lake as he was getting up.

''HAHAHA HOW WAS THAT?! AND THERE YOU WERE 5 MINUTES AGO TALKING ABOUT MAKING ME PAY!''

Burgess was cut off from his taunting however when he saw the water boiled, and a man walked out of it, practically unharmed.

''what the... how did you?''

''My magic allows my Diable Jambe to access more than the Fire element, allow me to show you, my new technique.''

Sanji lifted his right left, than went from black to dark purple.

HELL JAMBE!

Burgess wasn't letting down however, he raised both his arms saying, ''then come at he bro!''

Sanji lifted his leg and charged at him.

''you fell for it.'' Said Burgess as he joined both hands together and smashed the ground, causing an earthquake, knocking Sanji off balance.

BULL TACKLE!

Burgess took advantage of Sanji's loss of balance and ran right through him, knocking him aside.

''now for the finisher!'' said Burgess as he winded up another punch.

HYPERSONIC ELBOW!

TROP-CUIT SHOT!

Burgess's elbow was suddenly parried with a kick sent by Sanji, repelling Burgess's elbow. Sanji then went for a kick in Burgess's neck, but he dodged and attempted to punch him back, Sanji blocked the attack and went for a back kick, kicking Burgess right in the stomach, sending him flying back several feet.

HELL JAMBE: LE DIABLE QUI PLEURE!

Sanji kicked upwards, shooting a giant black fireball with his foot, that fireball then exploded into smaller tear shaped fireballs, that rained down upon Burgess, who raised both his arms to block the hit.

HELL JAMBE: CAUCHEMAR DE HELL!

Sanji waved his foot upwards again, creating a giant pillar of dark magic in front of him, shooting Burgess into the sky, burning him up even more. Sanji's veil then opened, acting like wings as he flew up to the charred Burgess, winding up his left foot in a combination of Flame, Haki and Magic power,

HELL JAMBE: HELL'S RETURN!

Sanji hit Burgess in the stomach, as the kick expanded into a giant explosion, eclipsing the sky.

''what in the world is that?!'' yelled some of the guild members on the battle field.

''Mira?'' though Erza, ''no... Mira never had this much magic power, but who could it be otherwise?''

back with Sanji...

''It's over Burgess, you lost'' Said Sanji, standing in front of a terribly injured Burgess.

''Hehehe... It may be, but even if you kill me, Mira is still gone, you lost the only women that could have ever liked you, let's face it, nobody won.'' said Burgess.

''What did you just say?!'' said Sanji, pissed off.

''Heheheh... it's such a shame you unlocked these powers a second too late, if only you had a bit sooner, then you could have saved her, think about it.'' Said Burgess, ''You could have saved her!''

''Don't you ever bring that up to me!'' said Sanji, walking up to him.

''that's right Sanji, fall for your anger, succumb to it! it will give me the right advantage to take your life!'' thought Burgess as he slowly pulled out his gun for his back pocket.

''It's fine Sanji.''

''?!''

Burgess lunged at him, catching him off guard as he pulled out his weapon.

''BECAUSE YOU WILL NOW JOIN HER IN HELL!''

EVIL EXPLOSION!

A black ball of energy blew Burgess up from behind, leaving him unconscious as he collapsed in front of Sanji, who now has a clear shot of the assailant.

''mira...'' he teared up, ''MIRA!''

Sanji hugged Mira, who hugged him back, both of them returning to normal.

''I'm so glad that you're okay...'' Sanji cried.

''the same goes fro you Sanji, the same goes for you...'' said Mira softly.
