Chapter 28: Rematch! Nami vs The Phantom Lord!

"We finished!" Natsu said.

"Yeah! We completed the whole ordeal." Usopp said.

"So, what happens now?" Lily asked.

"Oi Vangis!" Natsu called out to him. "Where are you?!"

"Hey we finished the whole thing." Renji said.

"Take us back home!" Luffy said. Nothing happened and to everyone's suprise a tree pops out of the ground and rolls out a seed.

"What the hell?!" Gray said.

"I thought we finished this whole nonsense?" Carla said.

"It could be..." Robin said thinking.

"What is it, Robin?" Lucy said.

"It could be that one of us didn't fight an enemy." She said.

"What?!" Natsu said. "But everyone fought one."

"Yeah or else you count the Exceeds." Wendy said looking at the three Exceeds.

"Well I'm not battle material." Carla said crossing her arms.

"Aye!" Happy said.

"Then if it isn't you guys then who?" Franky said.

"Wait a minute." Usopp said. "Nami, you didn't complete that fight earlier."

"He's right." Orihime said. "Captain Toshiro stabbed you in the back and you passed out."

"So that means I have to fight again?" Nami said.

"Looks like that's the only option." Uryu said, adjusting his glasses.

"Alright! This time I won't let you guys down." Nami said as she got her Clima-Tact. The seed then exploded revealing a man with dark brown hair and a military uniform. He was Jose Porla.

"What the…" Erza said surprised.

"That's Jose Porla." Gray identified the man.

"Okay, is he a wizard too?" Rukia asked.

"He is." Gajeel answered. "He was the head of the guild I was in before I joined Fairy Tail. The guild name was the Phantom Lords."

"Is he strong?" Renji asked.

"Yeah, he's so strong not even Erza can take him down." Gray said.

"He's that strong?!" Chopper said, now scared. "Nami, be careful!"

Jose looked over the group and noticed a familiar face in their ranks. "My, my, isn't this a sight for sore eyes." He said. "Gajeel, I've never thought you would be a member of Fairy Tail."

Gajeel gritted his face a little and then remembered that the Jose he was looking is a fake.

"Well in that case, you'll share the same fate as Fairy Tail."

"Hey!" Nami shouted, getting Jose's attention. "I won't worry about him right now. I'm your opponent."

"Are you sure you want to do this Nami?" Sanji asked concerned.

"Of course, I'm sure. How else are we supposed to get home, Sanji?"

Jose laughed at Nami's request to battle him one-on-one and said, "You think you defeat me, girl? That's a laugh."

"That's the thing, I don't I can beat you." Nami crossed two of bo-staffs and attracted them to her third. "CYCLONE TEMPO!" Nami tossed her crossed bo-staffs at the dark wizard who easily dodged it. Nami smirked as the bo-staffs turned around and aimed for the back of Jose's head.

Jose sees the bo-staffs and dodged them without any efforts. "Come on little girl, is that you got?"

Nami smiled and said, "You feel for it." A dark thunder cloud appeared over Jose as Nami recaptures her bo-staffs and threw a yellow ball she made her other one into clouds. "THUNDERBOLT TEMPO!" Lighting fell upon Jose and caused an explosion.

"Did she get him?" Orihime asked. When the smoke cleared, Jose was still standing and unharmed.

"What?" Nami said surprised because that should've dealt him a little bit of damage.

"You're kidding me." Usopp said, shaking.

"Using your first attack as decoy for me to drop my guard and hit me with a stronger attack." Jose analysis Nami's line of attack. "What a smart girl, you are. But it wasn't good enough. Now it's my turn. DEAD EXPLOSION!" Jose slammed his hand to the ground, engulfing Nami in an explosion.

"NAMI!" Luffy yelled.

The smoke cleared and Nami was gone. Then a light appeared behind Jose. It was Nami, charging at Jose with the top of her clima-tact lit.

"DEAD WAVE!" Jose fired a huge purple beam at Nami and hit her but she disappeared again.

Then the real Nami appeared in front Jose and struck him with her clima-tact. "THUNDER CHARGE: ARM SWING!" Lighting engulfed Jose the moment Nami's weapon touched him but he was still unaffected.

"Now, you're getting serious." Jose said, then he grabbed Nami's arm. "But, you need more than that if you ever hope to win." Jose threw Nami into one of the nearby ruins.

"Damn you!" Sanji shouted enraged.

"Stay out of this, Sanji." Nami ordered. "I appreciated you helping me last time but I got this." Sanji didn't say anything and stayed out of the fight.

"You still believe that you stand a chance." Jose said. "Well then, allow me to take that confidence away from you. SHADE ENTAGLE!" Jose created several ghosts and entangled Nami, causing her to cough up blood and scream in pain. Nami tries to get entangled but the grip got tighter. "I wouldn't try that if I were you. The more you struggle, the tighter the grip will be."

Nami continue trying to get herself free and managed to get one arm free. It was the arm with the clima-tact. 'Come on, think. What I do?'

"It's impressive that you've got arm free. But, it won't help you." Jose tightened the grip of his ghosts on Nami, making her cough up more blood.

'No, this can't end here. I have to beat him in one shot. Alright, here goes nothing.' Nami raises her clima-tact. "MIRAGE TEMPO!" She swung her clima-tact and disappeared.

"What?!" Jose said surprised.

"Over here." Nami said getting Jose's attention. Jose looked over to the navigator and saw four different Namis. "CLIMA FORTE!"

"What the…five Namis?!" Lucy said with her eyes wide open.

The five Namis started dark clouds from their clima-tacts. "Am I suppose to be impressed by that?" Jose said.

"You should be." Nami said. "I bet you can't guess which one is the real me."

"You sound really confident this time. But that can get you so far." The five Namis charged in at Jose. "Now you die, DARK BEAM!" Jose fired dark rays from his fingertips at the Namis causing an explosion. Once the smoke cleared, Nami was gone and a dark cloud was left.

"Behind you." Nami said as her clima-tact charges up. "THUNDER LANCE TEMPO!" A strand of lighting pierced through Jose and he disappears.

"Alright Nami, you won!" Lucy said.

"Thanks!" Nami said

"Now we're finished." Carla said.

"Yeah, I guess it's for us to finally go home." Usopp said.

"Yeah, YOU HEARD HIM!" Luffy yelled. "LET US GO HOME!"

"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!" A new voice laughed, it was Vangis. "HA, HA, HA, HA, Well done Shinigami, Fairy Tail, and Straw Hats. You've managed to overcome all the enemies I've set before you. But, you've have one test left, ME!"

"Enough of these stupid games, Vangis!" Ichigo shouted.

"Yeah, get out here so we can kick your ass and head back home!" Natsu shouted.

"Stupid fools, you have no idea of what you're about to face." Vangis said as a blue orb appeared before the group and began to glow. "For every challenge that was put in your way, for every enemy you've defeated, I have grown into the ultimate being. Not even the strongest among can defeat me." The glow died out and revealed a man. This is Vangis's true form.
