Dont irritate the chef. Sanji and Franky crashed into Zoda's laboratory, with Zoda there himself. Sanji asked Franky to leave him so he can handle Zoda alone.

With all the courage he had within him, he confronted Black Shadow by making a glamorous entrance, which didn't last that long after he fell down the stairs. Will Sogeking defeat Black Shadow and save Chopper?
Chapter 49: The battle of good and evil, Sogeking vs Black Shadow
We are back in the underworld, where is calmly walking on the racing circuit while singing 'the island' song. "Nyeeaahhhh.. The islands in the south are warm, Paina purupuru, Their heads get really hot, And they're all idiots!" Luffy sang happily, with not a care in the world. He then heard a sound from behind him. He looked behind his shoulder and saw nothing.
"Hmm? I thought I heard something.. oh well." Luffy shrugs it off and continues to walk on. Unaware to him was that Deathborn was keeping in eye on him. The more he looked at Luffy, the more it disgusted him.
"This boy... how did he get here? Bah... It doesn't matter. I'll just dispose of him." Deathborn said to himself as he teleported somewhere closer to Luffy, but made sure that he doesnt notice him yet.
"Second verse! The islands in the north are cold, Hyakkoi-koikoi, their heads shiver all around, And they're all idiots!" Luffy sang as he started to head into a tunnel. He then heard a sound of rocks shattering. He immediately turned around, but nothing seemed to be different. "That's.. weird." Luffy shrugged it off once again and continued to walk on. "Third verse! The islands in the east..."
Before Luffy could finish that verse, a violet orb came out of nowhere, exploding upon impacting on the ground a few feet behind Luffy. "AHHH!!!" Luffy got startled and fell face-first on the floor. "Owie... my nose.. what happened?" Luffy looks behind him and saw a stream of fire created by that orb a second ago. "This place is so weird. I gotta get out of here before something like that happens to me."
"I wont allow such thing."
Luffy got startled and looked at his surroundings to see who spoke. "Who is there? Are you a ghost?" asks Luffy.
"The only ghost around here will be you after I am through with you." Deathborn came out of the fire unscathed, completely shocking Luffy.
"O-O-O-Oh my gosh... you! It.. can't be possible..!" Luffy said with great fear.
"It seems you have heard of me by reputation." Deathborn said as he raised his hands. "Yes, I am Deathborn. I am the one who brings fear and chaos to all of those who are innocent and soft. Not to mention the worthless scum that only works for me who are not able to complete their tasks."
Luffy gulped in fear as Deathborn went on. "My purpose of existence is to wipe out all existence. And I will not rest until I put people like you through eternal hell. I don't know how you got here, but just by looking at you makes me sick. I will end your life the slowest and painful way I can..."
"YOUR BRAIN!!!" Luffy yelled out all of a sudden.
"What!?" Deathborn yelled, almost startled by Luffy's screaming.
"Your brain!! I can see your brain!!!" Luffy said while pointing at Deathborn's visible brain. "It's all gooey and icky! I have never seen an actual brain before in my life!! This is like the most scariest thing I have ever seen!!"
"Err... are you quite finished?" Deathborn asked. "Don't you realize the situation you are..."
"You must be an Arch-Nemesis!!" Luffy interrupted again. "Arch-Nemesis' always show their body parts to show how greatly evil they are! Of all the evil people out there, you must be the king! This is like the most exciting, yet my most scariest moment yet!"
Deathborn was getting irritated, but kept his cool as he tried to speak to Luffy again. "I can tell that you don't have much of a mental capacity, so I'll speak to you in words you may under..."
"Oh man! I am having so many mixed emotions right now, I think I am going to have a heart attack!" Luffy said, interrupting Deathborn yet again. "Oooooo, I can't wait to tell everyone about this! They think I'll be lying, but I pretty sure Usopp and Chopper will believe me. They will freak once I tell them about the crackhead-looking brainman I just met!
Deathborn was now furious. "YOU INSOLENT LITTLE PEST!!" Deathborn raised his right fist in anger, somehow causing the fire behind him to get bigger.
"AAAHHHHHH!!!" Luffy cried.
"I WILL PEEL OF YOUR SKIN, BREAK YOUR BONES ONE BY ONE, AND BANISH YOU TO THE DARK DEPTHS OF THIS PITIFUL GALAXY!!!" Deathborn yelled.
"That is something an Arch-Nemesis would say!! You are truly evil!!" Luffy yelled.
"ENOUGH!! DIE!" Deathborn lowers his fist down at Luffy, who rolled out of the way as Deathborn made a big crack on the floor.
"WOAH!! He is really strong!" Luffy said, shocked by Deathborn's strength.
"Stand still!!" Deathborn yelled before charging at Luffy.
Meanwhile...
"Oh! EEK! Ow! Oof! Dah! Guh! Yack!"
Sogeking was still tumbling down the long spiraled stairs. Chopper got worried, while Black Shadow was getting a little impatient.
"This is exactly why I had those stairs made. But this is rather taking too long." Black Shadow said while folding his arms. Sogeking then landed face-first to the ground. He then lifted his head up, with a bended nose and imaginary stars going in circles around his head.
"And remember kids, always be careful when going down the stairs. You might hurt yourself." Sogeking said drowzingly before he got back to reality. "Ow... Captain Falcon was right. Capes really do cause major accidents."
"Mwa ha ha ha ha ha! That was quite a show." Black Shadow said, grinning cruelly.
Sogeking straightened his nose before looking at Black Shadow, which startled him. "Dang! He is much bigger up close!" Sogeking thought out loud.
"Hmph... if you are here to die, you might want wait a couple a seconds. I just need to finish this one off first." Black Shadow said as he turned back at Chopper, who whimpered.
Sogeking then took a bravely stance. "I didn't come here to be one of your innocent victims, you fiendish scum! I came here to relinquish your foul ways and turn you in the name of what is right!
Black Shadow looked at Sogeking behind his shoulder, with a frown on his face. "Is that so? Tell me, how are you going to do that?"
"Isn't it obvious. I will defeat you in your very lair." Sogeking said.
"Mwa ha ha ha ha ha! You humor me with your silly antics. However, I don't have the time to for you, so maybe I should finish you off first." Black Shadow slowly walked towards, who was shaking in fear.
"O-O-Okay, Sogeking. Be brave and don't give up." Sogeking said to himself. "Besides, I have an ability that never failed me."
"Goodbye, fool!" Black Shadow raised his massive arm and began to lower it on Sogeking.
"SOGEKING..." Sogeking quickly squats down "...CHICKEN LEGS!" at a blink of an eye, Sogeking ran past Black Shadow before he could lower his arm at him.
"What!? He is fast..." Black Shadow looks behind his shoulder as he saw Sogeking running up to Chopper.
"Sogeking! How did you know I was in trouble?" Chopper asked.
"Whenever a friend is in need, I'll be there to help." Sogeking said bravely. "Now I got to get you out of here."
"Sogeking, watch out!" Chopper warned as he pointed at Black Shadow who speed walking towards Sogeking from behind.
"OH NO!" Sogeking quickly grabs the cage Chopper is in, and makes a run for it as Black Shadow destroyed the pillar the cage was on with his fist.
"It is useless to get away from me!" Black Shadow then started to chase Sogeking all over the room. Sogeking was running away from Black Shadow with his right arm around the cage Chopper is in. Chopper looked back and his eyes popped out of his head went he saw that Black Shadow was catching up to them.
"Sogeking! Do something! He is gaining on us!" Chopper cried in fear.
Sogeking barely heard that as tears were pouring right out of his goggles. "Come on! Please let me have something handy for this situation!" Sogeking looked into his bag and pulled something out. "Yes! Exactly what I was looking for!" Sogeking stopped running and turned around. "SOOOGEEKINNNNNNNNGGG..." Sogeking arches his back backwards in a dramatic fashion "...SMOKE STAR!" Sogeking drops a small explosive on the floor, creating a pink smoke screen to cover up the entire room.
"-cough-... That rascal!" Black Shadow said as he squinted his eyes to try and see through the smoke. While he was doing that, Sogeking placed the cage on the floor and grabbed his hammer from his bag. He then started to pound the cage open with the hammer, but it did nothing to it.
"I cant break this open. I need a key." Sogeking said.
"I think I saw that guy having it around his waist." Chopper said pointing to Black Shadow. Sogeking gulped, and turned around to see Black Shadow, who indeed has the key around his waist.
"Why must this happen to me..." Sogeking goes inside the smoke screen and slowly walks up to Black Shadow from behind. "I am right here!!" Sogeking yelled before quickly getting out of the way. Black Shadow turned around and punched where Sogeking's voice came from, but he only hit the floor. Sogeking quickly snatches the key from Black Shadow's waist and makes a run for it. Black Shadow had enough of the smoke and manages to find his desk.
He grabs a remote and pushes one of the buttons that caused the air vents to suck up all the smoke in the room. Black Shadow then saw Sogeking opening Chopper's cage, setting him free.
"Sogeking! Thank you!" Chopper leaped to Sogeking and hugged him with joy.
"Yes, yes, no problem. Now get off me, your naked." Sogeking said while putting Chopper back on the ground. "Alright, Chopper-kun. You go and save yourself. I will deal with this demon!"
"Sogeking, are you sure?" Chopper asked, worringly.
"I-I am definitely sure." Sogeking said, with his legs shaking in fear. "Now go!"
Chopper didn't want to at first, but he must do what Sogeking said. "Be careful." Chopper runs to the elevator and gets inside.
"Where do you think you are going!?" Black Shadow asked as he was about to charge at Chopper.
"SOGEKING GUNPOWDER STAR!" Sogeking fires an explosive pellet at Black Shadow's feet, making him jump back to avoid it. The elevator Chopper went in closed and started to go down to the lower floors, which greatly displeased Black Shadow.
"Grr... do you realize what you have just done? I intended to be merciful with you by killing you painlessly, now I must make you suffer for your treason." Black Shadow said, gripping his fist tightly.
"I-I-I-I don't care what you want to do with me!" Sogeking yelled, trying his best not to be scared. "I am the brave warrior from sniper island! I will do everything in my power to stop people like you from hurting others!!"
Black Shadow snarls at Sogeking's words, but quickly regains his composure. "Who is this brave warrior from sniper island you speak of? The only person I see here is a puny, idiotic, coward!
Sogeking lowered his head. He know that Black Shadow was mostly right. "I... I may not be as strong like everyone else, nor I may be that bright. I am probably the most scared person out there. But when it comes to situations such as this, I am willing to put those negative thoughts aside and fight what is right!
"Ergh! Enough of the words coming out of your putrid mouth! You will now feel the might of the Emperor of Brutality, Black Shadow!" Black Shadow charges at Sogeking, making the ground tremor with every step he takes.
"SOGEKING GUNPOWDER STAR!" Sogeking fires an explosive pellet at Black Shadow, who raised his arm in front of his face to block it as it exploded upon impact. Black Shadow smirked as the explosive didn't even leave a scratch on him.
"Is this all you can do?" Black Shadow asked before he tried to punch Sogeking. Sogeking jumped out of the way and aimed at Black Shadow while in midair.
"SOGEKING FIRE STAR!" Sogeking fired a fire pellet at Black Shadow, who used his shoulder to block. The pellet ignited Black Shadow's shoulder, but that didn't seem to bother as he simply swiped the fire off of his shoulder. Sogeking then runs away as Black Shadow started to chase him again. Sogeking quickly started to grab something from his bag as Black Shadow's eyes started to illuminate.
"FREEZE!" Black Shadow fires a ray from his eyes that immobilized Sogeking. Black Shadow raised his head as the rays made Sogeking go up in the air. "Not so tough without moving around, aren't ya?"
Sogeking barely felt his fingers as he used all of his strength to let go what he was holding. The object he purposely dropped were flash bombs as they impacted on the floor, creating a bright light that blinded Black Shadow.
"Arrgh! My eyes!" Black Shadow covered his eyes in pain, forcing to let go of Sogeking of immobilization. Sogeking quickly lands on his feet and runs towards Black Shadow with his hammer held up high.
"SOGEKING HAMMER!" Sogeking runs past Black Shadow, hitting him with his hammer as he ran by.
"Ah!" Black Shadow cried, feeling some pain on his shoulder. Black Shadow managed to regain his eyesight and faces where Sogeking is. Black Shadow was not happy as he impaled his fingers through the floor and started to pull the ground underneath Sogeking. "DARK FLIP!" Black Shadow raises the floor and flips it over, flipping Sogeking to his back as the ground raised up was about to collapse on him. Sogeking managed to leap out of the way, but his mantle got caught by the collapsed ground. Black Shadow grabbed his remote, and pushed another button that made a new floor replace the collapsed floor. After that happened, Black Shadow slowly walked towards the struggling Sogeking.
"Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, COME ON!!!" Sogeking was pulling on his mantle, trying his best get free. Black Shadow raised his arm and lowers it on Sogeking, who barely gets away as Black Shadow karate chopped his mantle instead, setting him free as well. Sogeking rolled away from Black Shadow before aiming at him with his long slingshot. "SOGEKING METALLIC STAR!" Sogeking fires a metallic pellet at Black Shadow, who caught it with his mouth. Black Shadow then shattered it to pieces with his own teeth and spits the shards back at Sogeking, who got startled and ran out of the way as the shards made holes through a wall.
"Holy shrimp paste! What kind of a dentist do you go to!?" Sogeking asked, but did not get an answer Black Shadow charged at him again. Black Shadow then felt pain on his feet, as he realized he stepped on a pile of pointy tacks. Sogeking took the opportunity to aim at Black Shadow while he was tacks off of his feet. "SOGEKING TRIPLE GUNPOWDER STAR!" Sogeking fires three explosive pellets at the same time, exploding on Black Shadow's torso one by one. This however, did not make Black Shadow to fall on his back, but just made him more angry. Black Shadow grabbed a couple of tacks and throws them at Sogeking at the sides of his clothing, which impaled to the wall.
"I got you now!" Black Shadow finally lands a punch on Sogeking.
"GAH!" Sogeking cried as a some of his blood came dripping out of his mouth. Sogeking pushes himself off the wall before Black Shadow could do any further damage to him. Sogeking tried to run, but the blow he received from earlier was affecting his movements, making him to quickly crawl away instead.
"Mwa ha ha ha ha! I only punched you once ,and you are already on the floor." Black Shadow said with a cruel smile. As Black Shadow took one step forward, the ground below him exploded, staggering him a couple feet back. "What was that!?"
"I placed an explosive on the floor when you weren't looking. You shouldn't underestimate me, or you'll probably regret it." Sogeking said while looking at Black Shadow behind his shoulder.
"How dare you say those words to me!" Black Shadow charged at Sogeking, who got on his back and aimed at him.
"SOGEKING PEPPER STAR!" Sogeking fires a pepper pellet at Black Shadow's face, creating a pepper screen upon impact. Black Shadow started to sneeze uncontrollably, staggering back to a wall Sogeking was on a few moments ago. "I placed an explosive there as well." Black Shadow's eyes widened as he accidentally bumped to the wall behind, which exploded that caused Black Shadow to stagger forward. Sogeking rolled sideways, away from Black Shadow. He stopped rolling and aimed at him again. "SOGEKING GUNPOWDER STAR!" Sogeking fires another explosive pellet at the side of Black Shadow's face. Upon explosion, it staggered Black Shadow even more, but he somehow managed to stay on his feet.
"How is he still standing after all of that!?" Sogeking asked in disbelief.
Black Shadow angrily looks at Sogeking as he clenches both of his fists. "NEGATIVE WAVE!" Black Shadow slams his fists at the ground, creating a small, but semi-wide wave at Sogeking. Sogeking manages to get up and move out of the way. However, the wave was homing to Sogeking, which surprised him as he started to run away for his life.
Sogeking jumped to a pillar held onto it as the wave exploded on it, causing the pillar to fall down. With an act of bravery, Sogeking jumps off the pillar and aims at Black Shadow while in midair. "SOGEKING TRIPLE GUNPOWDER STAR!" Sogeking fires three explosive pellets at Black Shadow, who managed to swipe the first two away, but couldn't avoid the last one as it exploded on his face, causing him to stagger back a bit. Sogeking then made some impressive and heroic flips in the air, but the landing was terrible as he landed on the ground with his chin. Sogeking rubbed his chin in pain until he then noticed that Black Shadow lifted his chair and tossed it at Sogeking.
"YAAAHHHH!!" Sogeking leaped out of the way as the chair crashed to a wall. Sogeking got up and started to run away again as Black Shadow started to throw several big objects at him. Sogeking avoided all of them by either running, jumping, or even leaping in order to not get hit.
When Black Shadow ran out of big stuff to throw, he looked at his palm, which started to emit a dark aura. "UNHOLY CLAW!" Black Shadow thrusts his palm forward as the dark aura came out of his palm, that started to form a big hand with sharp claws that headed straight for Sogeking.
"EEEYYAAAAHH!!" Sogeking leaped as the claw exploded upon impacting with a wall. The explosion caught up with Sogeking, almost burning him to crisp. Sogeking limplessly crashed to the ground, almost burned to a crisp. This pleased Black Shadow as he slowly walked towards Sogeking.
"You fool. Did it really occurred to you that you can really defeat me?" Black Shadow asked as he was now close to Sogeking.
"Ah... actually, no... but now... I DO!" Sogeking yelled as he pulled out his hammer. "SOGEKING HAMMER!" Sogeking swung his hammer at Black Shadow's knee.
"Argh!" Black Shadow grunted as the hammer hits his knee. Sogeking then quickly gets on his knees, facing towards Black Shadow.
"Prepare to suffer! SOGEKING RUBBERBAND!" Sogeking takes out an ordinary and stretches it towards Black Shadow, who covered his face with his arms, awaiting for impact.
"Wait a second... rubberband?" Black Shadow opens his eyes and looks at Sogeking, only he was no longer where he was. "Why that clown!! How dare he makes a fool out of me!?" Black Shadow yelled angrily.
Sogeking was hiding behind the collapsed pillar, panting rather heavily. "Phew... I am safe now. Okay, so far, I have been shooting explosives, flash bombs, and hitting him with my hammer, and yet, he has not even fallen to his knees. I must come with a stronger attack. I can always use the firebird, but I need to do that in the right moment."
Sogeking then realized that his shadow got bigger and could also not feel some of the collapsed pillar behind him. Sogeking gulps as he looked up to see the grinning Black Shadow, holding up some of the collapsed pillar with both of his hands. "I found you!" Black Shadow said as Sogeking screamed before jumping out of the way as Black Shadow almost hits him with the pillar.
Meanwhile...
Zoro ran and hid behind a pointy pillar while Goroh tried to find him while his sword was on fire. "Come on out, green haired warrior! Do not tell me that you have lost your dignity by facing me, because that will not slow me down from defeating you!" Goroh yelled, looking back and forth for Zoro.
"Geh... his 'fire stingray' is to wide for me to avoid, and I cant block it since it will burn me to crisp the second I touch it. If only there was some way..." Zoro said as he begins to think. He then came up with something. "Hey... maybe If I can use... yeah! I am sure it will work this time." Zoro said as he took out a pair of goggles and comes out of hiding. "Oi, that fire stingray of yours is very impressive."
"Hmm?" Goroh turns around and sees Zoro just standing there with some goggles on his forehead.
"However, that attack will no longer take me down." Zoro said as he places the goggles on his eyes. "These goggles have a special charm that will not make me burn to crisp, no matter what I touch. Your strongest attack will no longer have any effect on me anymore!"
"Those look like normal goggles if you ask me." Goroh said, not intimated.
Zoro then looked behind his shoulder with a completely shocked look on his face. "DAMMIT! BUSTED AGAIN!"
"You are so desperate to win, you lie about your accessories? How pathetic!" Goroh said. "Back when I was your age..."
"I DONT CARE!" Zoro yelled out all of a sudden, catching Goroh off guard yet again.
"Grr.. I have enough of you always not caring about the things I did! Prepare to lose!" Goroh charges at Zoro with his sword still on fire. He swings his sword horizontally at Zoro, who jumped back to avoid, but was surprised that Goroh actually made a fire cutting wave at Zoro.
"NANAJUU-NI POUNDOU HOU!" Zoro swings both of his swords, creating a cutting wave of his own as it collided with Goroh's wave, creating an explosion of fire. The explosion sends Zoro back to a boulder. Goroh, on the other hand, impaled his sword through the ground and held on, in order to not be sent back.
Zoro got back to his feet, and quickly charged at Goroh by lowering one of his swords down at him. Goroh counters by kicking Zoro's hilt to get him off balance. Goroh took the chance to pull his sword off the ground and do a 360 degree slash at Zoro, who parried it with his other sword. Goroh swung right and left, taking one step forward with every slash he does, making Zoro to move back. Goroh then does a thrust at Zoro, which he evaded by moving his head sideways and then countering by swinging one of his swords up at Goroh's sword, causing Goroh to get unbalanced. "SANJUU-ROKO POUNDOU HOU!" Zoro swings one of his swords, creating a cutting wave that impacted on Goroh.
"OOOF!" Goroh flies back, but manages to land back on his feet. Goroh does several front flips towards Zoro, before jumping up in the air, with his sword raised above his head.
Zoro takes a defensive stance and waits until Goroh gets closer. "GYUUKI YUZUME!" Zoro dodges Goroh's jumping slash and counters with a powerful slash at Goroh.
"AHH!" Goroh landed hard on the ground, grabbing his stomach in pain. Goroh then got up and looks at Zoro, furiously. "I will now end this battle in my favor! FIRE STINGRAY!" Goroh leaped at Zoro with his sword on fire, that created a fire wall that headed straight to Zoro.
Zoro jumps forward and attempted to cut the fire wall, but it was no use. "GUAH!" Zoro was engulfed in fire as he was sent flying right through a boulder, shattering it to pieces.
"Ha ha ha ha ha! Victory is mine!" Goroh said, satisfied as he rests his sword on his shoulder after the fire around it died down. Goroh's celebration came to halt as he then saw Zoro getting back up to his feet. "Heh... I admire your will to go on, but there are times when great warriors must stand down and accept their defeat."
"Pfft.. I am not like that. It takes a stronger warrior to fight on until the end." Zoro said, brushing the dust off of his shoulder.
"Even though that may be true, you still don't stand a chance against me. Trust me, I prefer to end this battle without causing any casualties, but you are acting as this is a matter of life and death. The only thing I want is your swords, not your life." Goroh said.
"My swords are a part of me." Zoro said while sheathing his swords. "I prefer to die rather than to lose my swords."
Goroh felt like he met his match. He has never met someone with such integrity before. "I honor your commitment of winning this battle, but I am afraid that will not happen." Goroh lits his sword on fire again. "The next move will determine this battle, and I'll assure you, that I will be the victor.
"Sadly, that's your opinion, so it doesn't count." Zoro said crouching down. They both gave eachother a stare, not blinking once. The sound of the wind passing by could only be heard. A little rock on a boulder started to fall off. As soon as landed on the ground, that gave the signal for them to attack.
"Prepare to suffer defeat with the might of my Fire Stingray!" Goroh yelled as he thrusted his sword forward, creating a firewall that headed straight to Zoro.
Zoro dashed forward to the fire wall. He ran so fast, he went right through it, unscathed. "What!? How is that possible!?" Goroh asked in surprise.
"You fought well!! NITTORYU IAI: RASHOMON!" Zoro unsheathed two of his swords at such a quick rate the same time Goroh defended himself by thrusting his sword at Zoro. It was quiet... with both of them not moving an inch. After a couple of seconds of not moving, they slowly started to sheathe their swords. Once Zoro sheathed his swords, he felt tremendous pain on his shoulder. Once Goroh sheathed his, he felt tremendous pain in every part of his body.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Goroh cried in pain as the force of Zoro's attack started to take effect, sending Goroh flying right back into his vehicle's seat. He crashed so hard, there was sound of something breaking, but both them didn't notice that.
Zoro stood up and walked up to Goroh, who was panting in exhaustion. "You turned out to be a worthy challenge. I'm sorta glad we met back at the shop." Zoro said.
"Heh... I should say the same. You are a rival I can respect, not like that Captain Falcon; he always cheats." Goroh said. Goroh then sighed sadly as he removed his sword around his waist. "You are the victor of this battle. You can now take my sword."
"I don't have the right." Zoro said.
"No! Take it! Be a proud man of my generation, and take my pride away!" Goroh said with a stern face. Zoro just looked at him, but instead of taking the sword, he turned the other way.
"I am not from your generation, ossan. I don't need to take your pity. I am damaged enough as it is. So, you can keep it." Zoro said bluntly.
It took a few moments for Goroh to accept Zoro's request. As he did, he adjusted himself properly on his seat. "I will take your pity instead, you cheapskate. I can handle someone's pity with no problem, since I am so used to it." Zoro smirked as Goroh turned on his vehicle. "Do you need a ride?"
"Nah, I can get to the base myself." Zoro said.
"Suit yourself." Goroh said as he pushed another button on the vehicle. The vehicle then started to make some noises. "That's odd..." The vehicle then went automatic and drov by itself. "WHAT IS GOING ON!?"
"Huh?" Zoro turns around and saw Goroh, alongside with his vehicle, going straight at him. "AAHH!!" Zoro tried to runaway, but the vehicle caught him and took him along with Goroh. "OI! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING!?"
"I am not doing anything! This contraption must be acting up again!" Goroh yelled.
"Well stop this thing then!" Zoro yelled.
"I cant! The brakes aren't working!" Goroh yelled as he stepped on the brakes, but nothing was happening. They screamed in despair as they were now heading towards Black Shadow's lair.
Meanwhile...
Sogeking ran as fast as he could avoiding Black Shadow, who picked up his big desk and started to use it as a club. "Come back here so I can kill you!" Black Shadow yelled as he swung his desk vertically at Sogeking, who leaped incredibly fast in order to dodge. Black Shadow raised the desk up and this time, he swung his desk horizontally. Sogeking jumped up to avoid it, but he jumped so high, he grabbed hold on one of the balance beams. Black Shadow adjusted his desk on both of his hands and throw the desk up at the ceiling, where Sogeking was at. Sogeking let's go of the balance beam before the desk crashed into the ceiling, shattering it to pieces.
As Sogeking was falling all the way down to the ground, he takes out a pair of springboards attached to some wooden, purple feet. He wrapped the springboards around his feet as he was about to land. "SOGEKING HOPPING!" As Sogeking landed his feet on the ground, he bounced right back up again. He started to bounce up and down, which irritated Black Shadow, so he stood right next to where Sogeking was about to land next. Just when Sogeking landed, Black Shadow spreaded his arms apart, and intended to wrap them around Sogeking. Sogeking quickly ducks as Black Shadow misses him. Sogeking quickly pulls out his hammer as he was about to bounce up.
"SOGEKING HAMMERUKEN!" Sogeking bounces up, swinging his hammer upwards through Black Shadow's jaw. Black Shadow felt sheer pain in his jaw as Sogeking was going up. Before Sogeking could get any higher though, Black Shadow grabs his right ankle with one hand. Sogeking was now being held upside down, with Black Shadow grinning evilly right at his face. He then lifted Sogeking higher up and started to spin him in circles. "YAAAAH!!!" Sogeking cried in fear before Black Shadow throw him to wall. Sogeking crashed to the wall with his frontal body, and slowly fell landed on the ground afterwards.
"Mwa ha ha ha ha ha! This is more easier than I expected." Black Shadow said with cruel delight. "I might as well finish you now with my..." Black Shadow intended to grab the remote around his waist, but it was no longer there.
"Looking for this?" Sogeking said, struggling on getting up as he revealed that he has the remote being held on his hand.
Black Shadow got infuriated. "You fool! Return that to me at once!"
"I don't think so! I noticed from earlier that you fixed the floor using this! This thing might also help me defeat you!" Sogeking yelled bravely.
"Grr... If you don't return that to me, I am going to take it along with your arms!" Black Shadow charges at Sogeking, who got afraid and started to look at the remote.
"Okay, which is the attack button!?" Sogeking cried as Black Shadow actually leaped towards him. "THIS ONE!" Sogeking hesitated and randomly pushed a button that caused some of the floor in front of him to rise up. Black Shadow crashes face-first of the raised platform while Sogeking sighed in relief. After Black Shadow removed himself from the platform, he literally destroyed it with his own fist, shocking Sogeking. Sogeking then started to run away, with Black Shadow chasing him furiously. Sogeking pushed another button that made some of the ceiling open up to drop a big boulder on Black Shadow. Black Shadow saw this coming and quickly catches the falling boulder.
Sogeking stops running and faces back at Black Shadow, holding the boulder up, as he pushed another button that made cannon come out of the ground. Black Shadow's eyes widened as the cannon fired on him, making him to roll back, but was somehow able to land back on his feet. Sogeking puts the remote around his waist, and climbs up the boulder, so he can get a clear aim at Black Shadow. "SOGEKING LOOP-DEE-LOOP GUNPOWDER STAR!" Sogeking fires an explosive pellet that was somehow going in loops while still going towards Black Shadow. Black Shadow swung his fist at the pellet, but missed as the pellet exploded on his thighs. Black Shadow grunted in pain as he charged for the boulder Sogeking was on.
Black Shadow grabs the boulder, and uses his strength to throw it up in the air, with Sogeking screaming for his life. Sogeking quickly pushes a button on the remote around his waist to make the room anti-gravitational, causing everything and everyone in the room to float around. Sogeking was relieved and amazed to be floating around, but that didn't last long as he then saw Black Shadow floating towards him. "LASER VISION!" Black Shadow fired a laser beam out of his eyes at Sogeking, who got scared and barely dodged it. Black Shadow started to continue firing laser beams out of his eyes as Sogeking started to swim through the air in order to get away.
Sogeking hid behind the big boulder from earlier, but Black Shadow destroyed it with his laser vision, completely exposing Sogeking, who seemed to have expected that as he was already aiming at Black Shadow. "SOGEKING FLASH STAR!" Sogeking fired a flash pellet at Black Shadow, created a bright light that momentarily blinded Black Shadow. Sogeking swims in the air under Black Shadow, until he got behind him. He then turned and faced Black Shadow, aiming at him again. "SOGEKING CACTUS NEEDLE STAR!" Sogeking fired a green pellet that exploded into needles halfway to Black Shadow.
"GAAHHHH!!!" Black Shadow cried in pain as most of the needles impaled to his butt. Black Shadow then started to growl in anger as he flexed all his body in order to make the needles pop out of him like bullets.
"EEEEEK!" Sogeking screamed as he did several dodging poses in order to dodge the needles. After he did managed to do that, Sogeking then saw Black Shadow heading right towards him. Sogeking tried to aim at him, but Black Shadow knocked his slingshot out of his hands. Sogeking yelped as he quickly pushed a random button that made all the room gravitational again, with everything crashing down to the floor and him landing on his butt while Black Shadow on his feet.
"Hand over the remote! I need that in order to detonate the bomb that will destroy everything!" Black Shadow yelled furiously.
"Destroy everything!? No way!" Sogeking yelled as he grabbed the remote from his waist and held it tightly.
"Very well then!!" Black Shadow fired a laser from his eyes at Sogeking. Sogeking shielded himself with the remote, causing Black Shadow to stop his laser midway and went back into his eyes. Black Shadow then tried to snatch the remote by grabbing it.
"NO! Give it back!" Sogeking yelled as he pulled the remote with all of his might from Black Shadow, but it wasn't even budging. Sogeking then placed his foot on Black Shadow's chest and tried to push him away at the same time pulling the remote away from his hands, but Black Shadow still didn't budge. Black Shadow wasn't even using any of his strength to pull away. He is just amusing himself on seeing how Sogeking is trying to pull the remote away.
"Mwa ha ha ha ha! You are too weak to overpower me." Black Shadow said as he simply moved his arms to the right, trying to shake Sogeking off, but that didn't work. Black Shadow frowned as he swung Sogeking in a 180 degree turn, but that still didn't make to let go of the remote. "LET GO!" Black Shadow got furious and started to spin in circles, along with Sogeking, but no matter how fast he span, Sogeking just wouldn't let go of the remote. Sogeking tried to keep his focus on the remote as he pushed a button with his thumb, that made a platform below Black Shadow, and him to rise up next to a big and plain chandelier. Sogeking could no longer hold on as his fingers slipped off the remote and flew right into the middle of the chandelier.
"Yes! The remote has returned to my hands! And now that you don't have that slingshot anymore, It'll be easier for me to get rid of you!" Black Shadow said as he walks to Sogeking.
Meanwhile...
Sanji was running through the hallways, kicking any guard he sees along the way. "Damn! This place is too big to find Chopper. Where did Franky go anyway?" Sanji asked while still running through the halls. Sanji then went to a complete halt as he noticed a rather large hole on the wall. "What happened here?" Sanji walks inside the hole and saw another hole on another wall. Soon, he started to walk through numerous of holes until he finally reached another hallway.
"Oh? That's the fisherman's vehicle thing." Sanji said as he noticed Captain Falcon's Blue Falcon. "If this thing is here, then where is he?"
"Hmm? Sanji-kun is that you?"
Sanji heard the voice from the other side of the empty hallway. "Nami-san? Is that you?"
"Sanji-kun! Oh thank goodness its you!" Nami said from afar.
"Nami-san, where are you!? I can hear you, but I cant see you!" Sanji yelled, looking around the hallway, frantically.
"I am over here with Robin! We are stuck! Help us get out of here!" Nami yelled.
"Robin is here too!? Don't worry, I will save you both!" Sanji said as he rushes heroically to the other side of the hallway. He reached at the other side of the hallway, but saw nobody. "Nami-san! Robin-chan! Where are you!?"
"We are down here! We are stuck in this stupid hole!" Nami yelled.
"Down here? Where is... that?" Sanji lowers his head a bit and notices Nami's and Robin's legs, dangling up in front of Sanji. "N-N-Nami-san? R-Robin-chwan? A-Are you two down there...?"
"Yeah! We are stuck, and we cant push ourselves out." Nami said, flailing her legs back and forth. Sanji didnt hear what she said, he was too distracted looking at her legs, as well as Robin's.
"Mister cook, would you be so kind to pull us out?" Robin asked calmly. Sanji drooled by looking at such beauty, but then got back to reality as he realized what he just heard.
"P-P-P-P-P-P-Pull you two out?" Sanji asked nervously.
"Yeah, just grab us by our legs, and let us out already." Nami said.
Sanji started to sweat, his body was getting very warm, and his face was completely red. "Um... O-Okay..." Sanji slowly gets near Nami's legs. He gulped in fear, due to that he has never been in this kind of situation before. Sanji could hear nothing else but the sound of his heart beats, that are starting to get frequent by the minute. He got in front of Nami's legs, as he slowly wrapped his right arm around Nami's right leg and left arm around her left leg. When he did this, he felt such a great sensation flowing through his veins. He was so excited, his heart beat was as frequent as a gatling gun firing away what stood in front of it.
"This is so amazing...!" Sanji said excitedly as he didn't realize that the heat from his body was almost burning Nami's legs.
"Ahh!! Sanji-kun, you are too hot!! I can't stand it!" Nami yelled.
Sanji got the wrong idea when she said that. "OH, NAMI-SAN!! I AM SO HAPPY THAT I PLEASED YOU!!!" Sanji yelled with great delight. He was so happy, blood started to pour out of his nose like a rocket heading out of orbit. The pressure sends Sanji flying right into the ceiling, crashing with his head, that instantly knocked him out. He softly landed on the floor, with a big heart formed in his visible eye.
"Sanji-kun, what just happened!? Are you still there?" Nami asked as Sanji's blood was starting to flow down in the hole. "EEEEEK! BLOOD!! GET IT OFF ME!! SANJI-KUN, WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED!? EWW!!"
"I guess Mister cook was knocked out. We might as well wait for someone else to come." Robin commented as Nami was still yelling her lungs out.
Meanwhile..
Sogeking was able to get back up to his feet and proceeded to run on the plain chandelier. Black Shadow jumped off the platform he was on and landed hard on the chandelier with his feet, causing it to shake. Sogeking lost his balance and almost fell off the chandelier, but was able to get on his feet and proceed to run away again. Black Shadow jumped up in the air again, and landed on the chandelier once more, to make it more unbalanced. This time, Sogeking rolled right out of the chandelier. Black Shadow grinned as he rushed to the ledge where Sogeking fell, but did not see Sogeking falling to his doom. Sogeking was actually holding on the crystalized strings leading to the candles at the corners of the chandelier.
Sogeking sighed in relief, but that didn't last long as Black Shadow's fist went right through some the plain structure of the chandelier that almost hit's Sogeking. Sogeking then grabs into another crystalized string and into another as Black Shadow's fists were punching through the chandelier floor, almost hitting Sogeking again. When Sogeking reached to another string, it snapped in half. Sogeking quickly hangs on the dangle string as Black Shadow appeared above him. He grabs the string that was attached to the chandelier and yanks it loose. Black Shadow then raises Sogeking to his level, grinning cruelly at him.
"Anything you like to say before you die?" Black Shadow asked.
"Yes, I do... BOMBS AWAY!" Sogeking yelled before he lets go of the string and falls all the way down to the floor. Black Shadow got confused until all of a sudden, the floor under the chandelier exploded.
"What!? That fool must have planted bombs under here!" Black Shadow exclaimed as the explosion caused the chandelier to fall down, including with Black Shadow.
Sogeking quickly pulls out a belt with a hole in the middle and wraps it around his waist as he was almost to the ground. "SOGEKING AAAA aa AAAA aaaa AAAA!" a hook shot out of the hole from the belt and hooks to an upper wall. Sogeking swings down as the chandelier crashed to the ground.
"Yes, that should've taken him down!" Sogeking exclaimed.
BAM!
"Guh!" Sogeking got distracted by the chandelier that he crashed a wall. Sogeking cuts the rope of his hook and puts his belt away before rubbing his nose in pain. "Maybe I should pay attention where I am going next time." While Sogeking was rubbing his nose, some parts of the chandelier. Sogeking turned around as the parts were lifted up in the air by none other than Black Shadow. Sogeking yelped as Black Shadow threw the chandelier part at him. Sogeking got to his feet and leaped out of the way, making the part shatter into the wall.
"I am through playing games with you! If are going to destroy my base, I might as well use my whole strength to crush you!" Black Shadow yelled.
"You were playing-I mean, It doesnt matter if you use your whole strength against me." Sogeking began to say. "From the power of the gods from sniper island, I will defeat black-hearted demon that stands before me!"
"Quit talking stupid, and die!" Black Shadow yelled as he started to charge at Sogeking a little faster than before. Before Sogeking would even try to scream, he had to duck under a swing of Black Shadow's fist. Sogeking quickly crawls underneath Black Shadow's legs and runs for his slingshot 'Kabuto'. He rolls forward, grabbing his slingshot at the same time. He then got to his feet and turned around to aim at Black Shadow, who was charging at Sogeking again.
"SOGEKING METALLIC STAR!" Sogeking fired a pellet at Black Shadow.
"Ha! That thing again!?" Black Shadow opened his mouth and caught the pellet with his teeth. He sooned had a surprised look on his face as his mouth was starting to burn. "AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! IT'S HOT!"
"Ha ha! I lied! It wasnt a metallic star I shot at you, but a tabasco star instead. Feel the burn!" Sogeking yelled.
"Why you... AAHH!" Black Shadow's mouth was so hot, streams of fire were coming out, causing him to hold his neck in agony.
"Now is my chance! SOGEKING DOUBLE GUNPOWDER STAR!" Sogeking fires two explosive at each of Black Shadow's knees.
"GAH!" the pellets exploded upon impacting on his knees. Before Black Shadow could land on his knees, Sogeking aimed at him again.
"SOGEKING GLUE STAR!" Sogeking fires white pellets at Black Shadow's knees, gluing his knees to the floor. Black Shadow landed on his knees and tried to get back up to his feet, but the glue was stronger than he thought. "SOGEKING GLUE & GUNPOWDER COMBO!" Sogeking first fires explosive pellets at Black Shadow's palms and then firing at his palms again with more glue pellets. Black Shadow cried in pain as he accidentally placed his hands on the floor, causing him to get stuck there too. Sogeking eyes gleamed with the delight as he took the chance to charge at Black Shadow with his hammer held up high.
"SOGEKING HAMMER!"
BONK!
"Ow!"
"SOGEKING HAMMER!"
BONK!
"Oof!"
"SOGEKING HAMMER!"
BONK!
"Grr!"
"SOGEKING RUBBERBAND!"
SNAP!
"..."
"SOGEKING HAMMER!"
BONK!
"ENOUGH!" Black Shadow yelled furiously as he overpowered the glue's strength and pulled his hand free. He then used his free hand to punch Sogeking in the gut, sending him flying straight back into a wall. Black Shadow then freed the rest of his body from the glue and stood tall with a very angry look on his eye.
"Eh..." Sogeking was barely keeping his eyes open. Black Shadow had merciless look in his eyes and walked towards the injured Sogeking. "I... -cough-... cant beat this guy. No matter how many times I hit him, he doesn't go down. Not to mention he already took me down with a couple of punches. I don't know what to do... wait! I can use the impact dial! Why haven't I thought of that before!?"
Sogeking puts his hand in his bag and tries to look for the impact dial as he was looking at Black Shadow, who was getting closer. "Found it!" Sogeking pulls out what he believes to be the impact dial and faces it inches away from Black Shadow's gut. "Prepare to face my deadly wrath!"
"Huh!?" Black Shadow looked at the dial, expecting something bad to happen.
"IMPA AAA AAA AAA AAA ACC CCC CCC CCC CCT TTT TTT TTT!!"
CLICK!
"This fine-tempered snake?"
Unfortunately, Sogeking grabbed the tone dial by mistake, which still has the recording from Skypiea a long time ago.
"Ummmmmm... wrong dial?"
BAM!"
"GUOH!" Sogeking was backslapped by Black Shadow and was sent flying all the way to the other side of the room. Black Shadow walked up to him and punched Sogeking in the gut.
"I told you before..." Black Shadow said as he punched Sogeking again. "You are nothing but a puny..." Black Shadow kicks Sogeking "... Idiotic..." Black Shadow grabs Sogeking by the ankles. "... COWARD!!!" Black Shadow swings Sogeking like a club and rams his body on the wall, making a very big crack on it. "Heh..." Black Shadow then started to walk away, satisfied at what he just done.
"Wait..."
Black Shadow stops and looks behind his shoulder to see Sogeking was getting on his knees. This infuriated Black Shadow as he faced at Sogeking. "You fool! Have you not realized yet that you stand no chance against me. Sure, you may have left a couple of bruises on me, but that is not even close on defeating me!"
Black Shadow yelled while Sogeking glared at him.
"Don't you understand that only people such as I are only capable on handling important and hard tasks. People like you, on the other hand, only exist so they can worship people like me! They can never handle what the big boys do. Even if they are my allies, if they get in my way in something, I will kill them with no remorse!
Sogeking continued to glare at Black Shadow, while he took out the real impact dial from his bag. "I will defeat you..."
"Eh? You are still with that!? What did I just say!? If you are not strong enough to do something, then quit already! There is no point in living if you intend to try and get rid of your superiors! Cant you understand in that idiotic head of yours!?" Black Shadow asked.
"I do understand..." Sogeking said while getting up to his feet. "I already know how it is to get in the way. I suffered great consequences of it some time ago. I know how it is like to be just a mere outcast of a group, that will support you anyway. But... today, I learned... that no matter how weak and cowardly you are... you can still help your friends from any kind of danger!!"
The room stood silent for a couple of moments until Black Shadow bursted with laughter. "Mwa ha ha ha ha! How ridiculous! Even though any kind of person can still help their friends from danger, the situation wont change for the helper. That little creature you rescued earlier must have been one of your friends, am I right? I bet you were the reason that he got kidnapped in the first place. He will obviously despise you after you left him all alone just so you can save yourself. I don't blame you of course, why bother saving someone else if the only thing that matters is yourself?"
"... You are wrong." Sogeking said with an angry tone. Black Shadow raised an eyebrow, curious on what Sogeking had to say. "I didn't left him alone, I was ambushed... and that wouldn't have happen If I only backed away. I wasn't the biggest coward during that time the kidnapping happened. The only cowards I saw were your men ganging up on us! I can tell that they were trained to be like that from there master! I don't care if the odds are against me right now! I will defeat you since YOU are the biggest coward in this room!"
Black Shadow frowned angrily as a dark aura started to form around his horns. "So I am a coward? Well, this I clearly find as a lie. You did well on keeping yourself alive up until this moment. But I am afraid that you will die now!!" Black Shadow yelled as his horns grew darker. "BLACK BULL!" Black Shadow lowers his head and rushes at Sogeking like as fast as a bull.
"-pants-... I only have one shot at this." Sogeking said as he awaited Black Shadow to get really close.
"DIE!!" Black Shadow yelled as he was a few feet away from Sogeking. Sogeking quickly puts his impact dial in front of Black Shadow's head, stopping him and absorbing the damage that Black Shadow intended to inflict. "Huh!?"
"TAKE THIS! IMPACT!" Sogeking uses his left hand to raise Black Shadow's head in order to use the impact dial on his face.
CLICK!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
"AAA AAA AAA AAA AAA AHH HHH HHH HHHH!!!" The force of the impact dial sends Black Shadow flying to his monitor, completely shattering the screen to pieces just before the gauge could get to 100. After that explosion, Black Shadow groggily gets up and looks at his shattered screen. "No..." Black Shadow then looks at his remote around his waist, that was also destroyed too. "NOOOOOOOOO!!!"
"I am not done with you yet..."
Black Shadow looks back at Sogeking, who was aiming at Black Shadow with a fierce look on his eye. "This will end you! SOGEKING FIREBIRD STAR!" Sogeking fires a humongous image of an eagle of fire. The eagle went through flying across the room, scourging it on fire as it went by. The eagle then impacted on Black Shadow.
"EEE EEE EEE EEE EEE EEE EEE EEE EEE EEE AAA AAA AAA AAA AAA AAA AAA AAA AAA AAA AHH HHH HHH HHH HHH HHH HHH HHH HHH HH!!!!"
KAB OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OO OOM!!
The eagle of fire exploded afterwards, exploding everything in the room. "YYAAAAAAAHHH!!" The explosion sends Sogeking flying right through the ceiling and out of the base. He soon crashed to the road leading out of the lair. "Ohh... what the heck just happened? Huh!? Wait a minute, I just defeated somebody much more stronger than me! I did it! I actually did it! Yes! Nothing can take me down now! Ha ha ha!"
"SOGEKING!"
"Huh?" Sogeking looks behind his shoulder and sees Zoro hanging on the driver's seat along with Goroh, who just trying to stop his vehicle that was heading straight to Sogeking. "Kaaaaaaaahh!?" Sogeking tried to run away, but was caught by the vehicle and was taken along with the ride. "Zoro-kun! What is going on!?"
"No time to explain! Just hold on!" Zoro yelled as they, including Goroh, screamed while they uncontrollably heading out of the Black Shadow's base.
TO BE CONTINUED...
Preview: AAAHHHH!! The brain guy is attacking me, and I don't know what to do to defeat him. He keeps getting to every place so quick, I cant keep up. I felt a big explosion earlier... and I feel something else is going to happen. Next time on One Piece: A Smash Adventure; Chapter 50: Deathborn's cruel wish, I am not the outcast anymore. I am gonna be the Pirate King!
I hope that battle turned out okay, because it kinda looked funny to me. Now I have a question for you guys. Do you want me to end this arc in the next chapter, or the chapter after that? Be in mind that if you want me to end it next chapter, it will take longer for me to update. The next chapter lies in your hands now. See ya!
OFF-TOPIC: It has been known that Brawl will be released at Feb. 10, 2008. Now that is kinda long, but I hope Sakurai knows what he is doing.
