I wrote this chapter on my road to my grandparents. Before you freak out or make assumptions, I was in the back seat and I didn't post it until Camilla beta read it for me.

None of the other butlers dared challenging the remaining four boys and two girls. That sit well for Alfie's crew because the nine remaining members had to find him. Eight out of nine left following the cyborg and his kitten Pride. He had some X-Ray looking goggles that helped lead him on a trail to the room Alfie was last inside.
They opened the door...Alfie and T.J's Doctor friend were restrained by jaguar tails restraining their arms. Si, Petunia, and the rest of the children minus Simon were in the room looking at the cyborg with glowing red eyes. Being the more greedy and uncompassionate member of the crew, he stepped back and pushed the beast pirate in the room.
"Go get'em, panda thing." The cyborg said smiling nervously.
Pamela broke though the wall with strength of her Hercule Hercule fruit. Lai used her sea stone hands picking the cyborg up and throwing him back in the room. It was the whole crew in the room.
"Welcome, pirates." Pamela said in a voice that sounded like a cat scratching someone's leg. "You have all came for your captain, except T.J. He's betrayed this house and his supervisor. Looks like I don't need kids anymore."
A dark silhouette emerged from the ground as all the kids including Pamela was pulled inside it.
From those small children a personification of evil wizard and dried skin with short amount of teeth not to mention scary eyes in flames appeared wearing a cape stretched to look like a vampire. Si was by this evil ladies side.
"What marvelous young children we have her." She said in a way that made her tongue look like a piranha. "So nice and young...can't wait to make them a hot piping bowl of elixir."
"What have you done to all those little kids?!" Pamela yelled at the wicked witch.
"They were all a part of me. Each one share a part of my emotions. Pamela was the darkest one because I have a dark heart."
Simon walked into the room seeing the witch. He heard what she said about his "friends".
Dante was the one who noticed Simon and so did the pirate who ate the Army Army fruit. Dante kneeled down to try talking to him at his eye level.
"You didn't need those friends. They just stared at you and watch you get abuse by that awful teacher. I need you to leave now because our career is plundering from people and fighting creepy witches like her. We have the power to harness an entity that watched over the Strawhat making us the best at power."
Simon understood he didn't want him around for this fight and he was kind of cocky. Simon's rebuttal was opening his mouth and unleashing a soundwave on Si. It had no effect on him as he dashed to use the power of his ruler on him, but the army pirate created an army of five of him to protect Simon.
He hit one of the copies three times with his ruler. The copy cried out in agony as his brain felt like soundwaves rupturing his brain mass. All five of him acted in the same way. With him in such pain, someone had to help him.
Pamela broke the entire wall just by hitting the ground with her Hercule strength. Not soon after, the floor collapsed and Si was separated with Fisscha, the beast pirate, the cyborg, and Lai.
Dante took advantage of the distraction to pull back the string of his bow and fire an arrow at the witch. She used a weapon not sacred to witches, a gun that fired a bullet ripping through Dante's arrow. Dante stepped left and avoided the billet fired at him.
Pamela would help if she wasn't helping all the injured and small get away from the evil witch. Something told her muscles wouldn't help her beat the witch.
T.J. used his powers over his small cloud to flip the cloud around and fire a bolt of lightning at the witch.
The witch jumped over the lightning and levitated in the air before transforming her hand into a laughing skeleton.
"This is all too easy so help yourself to better company."
She launched the skeleton at T.J. He rolled away from the skeleton but the skeleton followed him after he rolled out of the way.
Dante tried aiming his bow at the laughing skeleton, but a group of whimsical bows with little hands and feets approached Dante. This was the witch doing and she did it because of Dante being an archer. The arrows lunged at Dante with red eyes and sharp teeth trying to gnaw through Dante.
Dante and T.J. were the only ones left to fight her since Alfie being trapped and Odaga being killed. There was no one left who could help them. Fortunately, A.J. was all the help they needed. A star of lighting shot out from the cloud without T.J's consent and sparked through all the arrow people. They collapsed paralyzed before dissolving into piles of dirt.
Dante took aim given his now free arms and shot his arrow right in the back of the skeletons head. It split apart and twirled around until it's parts fell through the dark hole created by Pamela.
The witch was laughing. "Defeat as many of my emotions as you can, once I get to my Pamela emotion you'll fall into your grave!"
Threat aside, Dante wasn't scared of the ugly not to mention evil old hag. He now had the aid of someone he could rely on, his captain. Although bone was hard to pierce, his shot did more than break through the skeleton-Dante alone ripped through the tails holding Alfie in restraint with the doctor.
Alfie saw her hair merge with the ceiling creating a purple shadow as he snuck to the fireplace where they put his swords. With one swift swing of his sword, he managed to cut through the tail holding the Doctor in restraint.
The witch heard the sound of the doctor being freed and turned her head so she was looking at Alfie. Instead of looking angry or surprised she just smiled.
Alfie was in his two sword stance prepared to strike her. The only thing was his ears heard a painful cry from the pitch black hole. It was Fisscha's voice. He acted without second thought jumping down the hole to help them all.
He landed in what he believed to be a wooden plank over the ground. His nakama were somewhere below in this tenebrous basement. He could only hear the breath of one person and that was his enemy.
Alfie ducked right when a long wooden almost hit his shoulder blade. The thrust of the weapon seemed to make the four nakama cry. If it wasn't so dark Alfie would run to their aid. He needed his senses though to try to dodge these attacks.
His blade swung to the right when a ruler almost struck Alfie. It was now a battle of who could push away the other fighter.
Alfie received a kick to his kneecap from his assaulter. It turned out to be Si from how pointy the tip of his shoe was, and Alfie got to hear his obnoxious voice goading him.
"I should have killed you before if my master didn't stop me. I'm the teacher and she's the boss. I only get to take satisfaction of one of your nakama being killed."
"Bastard!" Alfie yelled.
Alfie spun around in a three hundred and sixty degree turn. Something he sliced through turned the lights on. Alfie saw Fisscha, the cyborg, the beast pirate, and Lai all sweating while looking scared to death. Pride was near his master gently clawing at his neck.
"They started to smell like three day fish after I took down the last one, your Devil Fruit wind controlling girl. I hate courage and I hate vengeance. Discipline is all I've ever known...I am a singular purpose being born without parents and yet I have no feelings for Simon, a being born without parents like me. I guess that's what makes killing so easy for me."
Alfie charged at him swinging his swords simultaneously. Si's ruler changed shapes looking like a big triangle he stabbed between the two swords that ended up stopping them. Alfie didn't think something so bizarre could do any damage until he felt nausea just from the ruler touching his swords.
Si didn't get the upper hand, Alfie made him backflip away when he mustered the strength for one sneak attack. Si was now hidden in the darkness where the light didn't illuminate pondering his next move. His next move came as Si fell with a circlet of a ruler around his hand and a ruler with three blades sticking out.
Alfie looked like he was at the edge of his ropes, but he still had enough focus on this battle. He took one step forward and he stopped the blade when Si swung it. In that moment, he let go of his swords and reached for the ruler.
Si didn't know if Alfie lost his mind or not, but he was bonked five times on his arm which no one has ever been. All the courage in Si left him, he quivered followed by cowering against the wall with his hands touching his short hair.
"I can feel your thoughts...I'm slowly descending into madness. One side is you and the last part is a void. I am no longer becoming a master. I reign but then I fall because I haven't done anything. B-But I was a teacher...an educator and master of Simon. Simon...he looks just like me because...he is me. The witch wanted a me younger and more abused to see how two people who are the same would stick together. And she was...right. We are abominations."
Alfie was astute to hit his enemy with his own weapon. He decided the best choice of action was to use Si's own weapon to create a big tower of wood for him to climb up, climb down, and climb up all over again. Every climb he would carry a nakama up with him. He started with the beast pirate, then Fisscha, next was Lai, and finally he carried the cyborg with Pride purring on the captains shoulder.
Alfie made one decision he would regret but his heart was trying to save everyone, even his enemy should be saved. He tried carrying Si except Si was mumbling to himself the whole time.
"Blunder. I'm sad. Witch created me, that's all I know."
Alfie finally got him out of the hole back into the wrecked room caused by Pamela. The witch was the only one left in the room as everyone stirred clear of her and fled the room. The moment Alfie put Si down, he ran straight into a corner and sat down looking depressed.
"You actually managed to hit him five times." She had the sound of surprise and joy in her voice. "You've turned him into a being without desires. One who will whittle and die because he has no taste for food, water, or even his work...something he never quit on."
"It was him or me down there and he already used that thing to hurt my friends." Alfie responded to the witch.
"Blah Blah, I'm working for my sister who wants me to kill you before you ever get to Monkey D. Luffy. I'm more powerful than the last sister you fac-"
The witch heard a sound that made her entire body vibrate like a carpet until her body was unable to move. It was the creature Simon cared for using a ray from its one eye to hold her in place. Her end though was not from the creature, but from Kimmy transformed into her lion form. She was seeking vengeance on the witch.
She lunged towards the witch to gnaw her skin away...she went poof. Before Kimmy could even bite her the witch disappeared from sight. This strange even was the cause of Alfie breaking the ruler, her source of power she gave to her most loyal servant.
