This updating procedure is getting to be a habit. Anyway, here is the next chapter. I have something to notify you at the end of the chapter, so make sure you read that too. Have fun... again.
Sogeking overcomes his odds. Sogeking saved Chopper from a horrible death by the hands of Black Shadow. He later then faced Black Shadow in a deadly battle. Despite the odds, Sogeking became triumphant over Black Shadow, by destroying him, including the upper section of his lair. He took little to celebrate as he was accidentally taken for a ride by Goroh's vehicle, with Zoro and Goroh in it. Meanwhile, Luffy has recently encountered with the mastermind behind the galactic bombing, Deathborn. Deathborn has gone irritated by Luffy's mental ways and now intends to kill him. Will survive from the evil hands of Deathborn?
Chapter 50: Deathborn's wish, I am not an outcast anymore
Luffy staggers back into a corner before he quickly gets out of the way as Deathborn almost hits him, but makes a crack on the wall instead. "I said hold still!" Deathborn yelled as he threw another fist at Luffy, who rolled out of the way in order to dodge. After Luffy rolled out of the way, Deathborn was no longer in his sight.
"Huh? Where did he go?" Luffy asked, looking left and right repeatedly. Before he knew it, Deathborn was somehow behind him. Luffy looked behind his shoulder, only to get backslapped in the face by Deathborn. Luffy flew across the road, but quickly retaliated by landing on his feet. "Oww... how did he get behind me so quickly?"
He didn't get an answer as Deathborn suddenly appeared right in front of him. Deathborn swings his fist at Luffy, who ducked to dodge and then rolled backwards to get some distance. Luffy then stood on his feet and stretched his arm back. "GOMU GOMU NO PISTOL!" Luffy stretches his fist at Deathborn, who was surprised to see Luffy stretch his arm. Deathborn instantly vanishes to avoid Luffy's fist and reappears at the same spot after Luffy's fist went back.
"What kind of freak are you?" Deathborn asked cruelly.
"Hmph!" Luffy stood straight and glared at Deathborn. "I am Luffy! And I will become the Pirate King!"
Deathborn stared at Luffy, wondering how he can be so confident. "How irritating. The biggest thing I hate about you people is that you believe that you can actually achieve everything!" Deathborn raised his hand up in the air, forming a purple orb. Deathborn then threw the orb at Luffy, who jumped out of the way to avoid. Instead of making an explosion, it made an implosion instead, completely disintegrating some of the road that it touched.
"Ahh! What did you do!?" Luffy asked in surprise.
"I simply banished part of the road to one of the dark depths of this pitiful galaxy." Deathborn replied.
"Banished?" Luffy asked curiously.
"You see, I have the power to make anything go where I please." Deathborn said. "If I want a simple apple to go to the opposite side of a planet, then I can simply do that by a touch of a finger. Or better put, If I want to make a certain boy with a straw hat go into a planet filled with lava, then I simply just lay a hand on him, and he will appear into his greatest demise, where he will burn to death."
"A straw hat boy..." Luffy said, thinking about who Deathborn was referring to. This took a couple of seconds for him to figure it out. "... DAAAHH!! YOU MEAN ME!! THAT'S CRUEL!!"
"Hmm... I don't know why you came here in the first place, but it is clear to me that you don't have much of an intellectual capacity." Deathborn said, looking at Luffy's shocked expression. "So there is clearly no reason for you to live any longer. I will save you the trouble by getting rid of you myself. Now come here!"
Deathborn fires another purple orb from his plam, which Luffy dodged and countered with a stretched arm, which Deathborn evaded by teleporting away. Deathborn reappeared right next to Luffy and intended to do a backslap, but Luffy backflipped and places his right foot on Deathborn's attacking fist while in midair. Luffy lands, crushing Deathborn's fist in the road before delivering Deathborn an uppercut. "GAH!" Deathborn grunted before he countered by using his left fist to punch Luffy in the gut, staggering him back a couple of feet. Deathborn pulled out his right fist off the road, and charges Luffy by raising his big foot onto his face.
Luffy dodges Deathborn's foot, and quickly grabs Deathborn's ankle with both of his arms. Luffy swung at an 180 degree throw, sending Deathborn flying out of the road. That didn't stop Deahtborn as he quickly teleported before he could crash. Luffy gasped, and looked at his surrounding, wondering where Deathborn went. He then noticed that his shadow got a little bigger. Luffy looked up and saw Deathborn, falling down towards Luffy. Luffy jumps back as Deathborn lands on the ground, making the road shake. Luffy landed on his hands, and aimed at Deathborn with his feet. "GOMU GOMU NO YARI!" Luffy stretches his feet towards Deathborn, who teleported away before Luffy's feet could connect to him.
Luffy flips back to his feet as Deathborn reappeared a few feet behind him. "BANISHED TOMB!" Deathborn fires a thick beam at Luffy, who just barely got out of the way as the beam disintegrated some boulders in front of him. The beam then got thinner until it completely disappears as Luffy charged at Deathborn from his left side.
"GOMU GOMU NO STAMP!" Luffy thrusts his stretched foot at Deathborn, who caught it with his right hand. Deathborn then narrowed his eyes as banished Luffy. Luffy reappeared in the same place, however, he was really high up and was above a pool of lava. "AAHHH!" Luffy quickly stretches his arms towards one of the spikes formed on the ceiling. "GOMU GOMU NO ROCKET!" Luffy springs himself all the way back to the racing circuit, where Deathborn awaits him. "GOMU GOMU NO GATLING GUN!" Luffy repeatedly sends multiple punches at Deathborn, who just stood there, but was teleporting and reappearing at the same spot withing almost every punch Luffy sends him.
When Luffy got close, Deathborn catches Luffy's right fist with his right hand and grabs Luffy's neck with his left. Deathborn stretches Luffy's fist he was holding and lets it go, automatically making Luffy hit himself with his own hand. Deathborn then slams Luffy down to the road, still holding his neck afterwards. Luffy spits in Deathborn's eye, temporarily blinding as he then took the chance to swing his right fist across Deathborn's face. This caused Deathborn to let go of Luffy, who took another opportunity to kick Deathborn's jaw. This caused Deathborn to stagger back a bit as Luffy stretched his fist back.
"GOMU GOMU NO PISTOL!" Luffy thrusts his stretched arm at Deathborn, who quickly teleports out of the way.
Deathborn reappeared on top of a boulder and formed a four purple spears above himself. "BANISHED THRUST!" The spears then homed right towards Luffy. Luffy avoided the first three, but he couldn't avoid the fourth, so he punched the spear by it's side. This wasn't a good idea as it banished Luffy somewhere else in the underworld.
"What the!?" Luffy was still on the racing circuit, but was now inside a cave, with part of the roads being covered in lava. Deathborn appeared behind Luffy and was about to hit him, until Luffy does a 180 degree kick at Deathborn, who teleported to dodge.
Deathborn appears above Luffy and formed an orb with both of his palms. "ATOMIC TREMOR!" Deathborn throw the orb down at Luffy, who jumps out of the way as the orb made a shockwave that spreaded to almost all over the circuit.
Luckily, Luffy grabbed on to one of the spikes on the ceiling, which saved him from the getting hit by the shockwave. Deathborn then teleported under where Luffy is, and jumped right at him. When Deathborn got to his level, he swung his fist at Luffy, who lets go of the spike to avoid as Deathborn destroyed the spike instead. As Luffy headed down, He thrusted his stretched fist at Deathborn, who teleported to avoid and reappeared behind Luffy. Deathborn intended to wrap his arms around Luffy, but couldn't as Luffy grabbed his wrists. Luffy then jumps off of the Deathborn while still holding on to his wrists, stretching as far away as he could.
"GOMU GOMU NO ROCKET!" Luffy springs back to Deathborn, ramming into his stomach.
"GUOH!" Deathborn and Luffy crashed right back to the road, causing a huge dust screen. Before the dust screen could fade, Luffy jumped right out of it, before he faced back at it.
"GOMU GOMU NO GATLING GUN!" Luffy repeatedly punches inside the dust screen, hoping he was hitting Deathborn. While Luffy was continuing his attack, Deathborn teleported right behind him, raising his fist up in anger. Luffy stopped his attack and quickly looks behind him only to get his face smashed by Deathborn's fist.
Deathborn raised his fist and intended to punch Luffy again, only Luffy blocks with his feet, placing them around Deathborn's wrist. Luffy then stretched his hands around Deathborn's neck and started to squeeze the life out of him. Deathborn used his other hand to grab Luffy's right wrist and banished him over a big part of the road which was covered in lava. Luffy stretched his arms to a horizontal spike on the cave wall. Instead of springing back to safety, he swung himself back to where Deathborn, and did a 360 degree midair kick at him. Deathborn blocked Luffy's kick with his limb, but he realized that Luffy's other leg was stretching back.
"GOMU GOMU NO STAMP!" Luffy thrusts his stretched foot at Deathborn, who teleported just in time to avoid. Luffy landed on his feet and quickly looks right and left, being at full alert for Deathborn's reappearance. All of a sudden, Deathborn's hands went right up the road, underneath where Luffy is and pulled him straight down, pulling his lower body beneath the road. "GAH! I'm stuck!" Luffy trys to pull his lower body out, but to no avail as Deathborn appeared right in front of him. Deathborn did not hesistate to deliver a horizontal kick across Luffy's head. "AAHH!!" Luffy cried in pain as Deathborn was about to punch Luffy, but Luffy blocked by catching his fist with both of his hands.
Deathborn then used his free hand to try and punch Luffy's face again, only Luffy stretched his neck backwards, causing Deathborn to miss. "GOMU GOMU NO KANE!" Luffy's head went right back into Deathborn's, staggering him back a couple of feet. While Deathborn was regaining his focus, Luffy pushed the road as hard as he could and managed to get his lower body unstuck. Luffy got to his feet and charged at the dazed Deathborn. "GOMU GOMU NO..."
"RRAAAAAGGHHH!" Deathborn quickly counters by uppercutting across Luffy's jaw, sending him flying up to the cave ceiling. Luffy's face crashed to the ceiling before he limplessly started to fall down on a part of a road, covered in lava.
Before Luffy could actually fall into it though, Deathborn actually fired a purple orb at him, banishing him a few inches away from the lava, making Luffy to land hard on the road instead. Luffy rubbed his head in pain as he looked at Deathborn with a confused look. "Why did you just save me?"
"I prefer to end your life with you feeling great despair in your heart. You didn't expect that I would simply let you die in such a quick pace, did you?" Deathborn asked cruelly.
"What?! I am not going to let you kill me! I'll be the one who is going to kick your ass!" Luffy yelled before he charged at Deathborn once again. "GOMU GOMU NO MUCHI!" Luffy stretches his leg, and does a horizontal kick at Deathborn, who teleported to dodge and reappeared in midair above the spot he was just on. As Luffy's leg started to unstretch, he did a 360 degree turn and stretched his arm back. "GOMU GOMU NO PISTOL!" Luffy thrusts his stretched fist at Deathborn, who teleported to avoid and reappear behind Luffy. Luffy quickly unstretches his fist and back punches Deathborn in the face, staggering him a couple of inches back.
Luffy then flipped back and landed on his hands. "GOMU GOMU NO YARI!" Luffy thrusts both of his legs at Deathborn, hitting his stomach which caused him to skid back on his feet. Deatborn grunted a bit as he wrapped his arms around Luffy's ankles. Deathborn whipped Luffy to the cave wall. Deathborn then pulled back, causing Luffy to spring right at him. Deathborn lets go of Luffy's legs and swung his arm at him, but Luffy quickly wrapped himself around Deathborn's arm. Deathborn got angry as he was about to smash Luffy into a wall, but Luffy quickly gets off of Deathborn's arm and gives a mule kick to his face.
Deathborn staggers as Luffy flips to the wall and jumps off of it, heading straight back to Deathborn. Luffy swung his fist at Deathborn while in midair, but Deathborn ducked under the attack and countered by doing an upper kick at Luffy, sending him flying to the cave ceiling and straight back down. Before Luffy could land though, Deathborn delivered a nasty right punch into Luffy's stomach. "GAH!" Luffy cried in pain as some of his blood came out of his mouth while he was sent flying all the way out of the cave. Luffy was now out of the cave and there were a couple of holograms, circling around the racing circuit, but Luffy did not pay to much attention to those as he was getting up to his feet.
As soon as Luffy did got up to his feet, multiple purple orbs were coming out of the cave, homing in on Luffy. Luffy ran away from them as best as they could as some of the started to do small implosions while impacting on several parts of the circuit Luffy was just near. Suddenly, Deathborn appeared right in front of Luffy, who glared at him before he avoided his fist and jumped to a spike to a boulder out of the circuit. The last of the purple orbs were heading straight to him as it impacted on the boulder just right after Luffy leaped off of it. The boulder vanished as Luffy was flying straight towards Deathborn, swinging his fist in circles before he attacked.
Meanwhile...
On the balcony of Black Shadow's lair, Captain Falcon was just getting up from his rest after he defeated his evil clone, Blood Falcon. "Errmm..." Captain Falcon stretched before feeling okay again. "Ha... I feel much better. That battle sure has taken a lot out of me. I think I am starting to get a little old for this." Captain Falcon then looked up at the sky with a serious look on his face. "That explosion from earlier came from the upper levels." Captain Falcon then looks at Chopper's pants. "I must get going!" Captain Falcon then dashes to the exit.
Unaware for him, Blood Falcon was starting to regain concious as well. Before Blood Falcon could say anything, he saw his desintegrater gun in front of him. He smiled wickedly as he grabbed his gun and aimed at his counterpart while getting on one knee. Captain Falcon stopped running and sensed that something was moving behind him.
"DIE, FALCON!" Blood Falcon yelled as Captain Falcon turned around and saw that his evil counterpart was about to shoot at him. All of a sudden, a part of the ceiling opened up a squared hole. "Huh?" Blood Falcon looks up and out of the hole came out an elevator. Before Blood could say or do anything else, the elevator flattens him, knocking him unconscious again. Captain Falcon tilted his head in confusion as the elevator doors opened up to reveal Chopper, who was dazed after riding the elevator.
"Chopper!" Captain Falcon exclaimed.
"Huh?" Chopper started to feel normal again as he saw Captain Falcon in front of him. "MR. FALCON!" Chopper runs to Captain Falcon, with tears of joy coming out of his eyes. "Oh, Mr. Falcon! I am so happy to see you!"
"It is good to know that you are safe, Chopper!" Captain Falcon said happily. "Here, I think these belong to you."
"My pants!" Chopper said with a happy expression as he quickly snatches his pants from Captain Falcon's hands and puts them on. "Ahh... it feels good to have my dignity back." Chopper sighed happily.
"Chopper, where did you just come from?" Captain Falcon asked.
"Hm? Oh yeah! Sogeking saved me and is probably fighting with Black Shadow right now! We must help him!" Chopper exclaimed.
"Sogeking fighting Black Shadow!? This seems bad... Chopper, let's go back him up!" Captain Falcon said heroically.
"Okay!" Chopper said as he runs with Captain Falcon while in his walk point. "By the way, is everyone else here?"
"Of course they are! They wouldn't leave you here to die!" Captain Falcon said, running through the hallways.
"What about Usopp? Is he okay?" Chopper asked, worryingly.
"Do not worry about Usopp, Chopper. He is perfectly fine." Captain Falcon said. He then remembered something and stopped running in the process.
"What is the matter, Mr. Falcon?" Chopper asked.
"I almost forgotten about Nami and Robin." Captain Falcon said while rubbing his chin. "They were stuck in a predicament the last time I saw them."
"Oh no! We must help them!" Chopper exclaimed.
"Wait a minute, there is no need for that." Captain Falcon said as he smiled. "Those girls look tough enough to withstand there for a couple of more minutes. I am sure they don't mind if we help them later."
"Um... I don't know. Nami might get really angry." Chopper said, trying his best not to think about her when she is angry.
"Oh, I am sure Nami will be reasonable. Now come on! We must help Sogeking!" Captain Falcon exclaimed as he and Chopper ran through the hallways.
Meanwhile...
Deathborn jumps back, avoiding Luffy's stretched punch as it hit road beneath. Luffy landed on his feet and rushed at Deathborn. "GOMU GOMU NO GATLING GUN!" Luffy repeatedly punches at Deathborn, taking a step forward within every punch he delivers. Deathborn teleported to avoid Luffy's punches and reappeared to behind Luffy. Luffy expected this to happen as he jumped forward in order to avoid Deathborn's attack from behind. "GOMU GOMU NO YARI!" Luffy lands on his hands and stretches his feet back at Deathborn, who sidesteps to avoid. Before Luffy's legs would unstretch, Deathborn created a purple orb with both of his palms.
"I'll cut your legs off!" Deathborn yelled as the orb then turned into an arabian sword. Luffy gasped as he unstretches his legs before Deathborn could cut them with his sword. Luffy quickly gets up to his feet as Deathborn charged at him with his sword held high. He swung his diagonally at Luffy, who jumps back to avoid. Deathborn then did a combo, starting with a vertical slash, then a horizontal slash, and then an over-the-shoulder slash, which Luffy evaded by sidestepping the first slash, jumping over the second and then stretching his hands to grab a big mechanical ring around the road to avoid the last attack.
Deathborn's sword then turned into a spear and threw it right were Luffy was hanging. Luffy raised his legs up high as the spear went right by him, almost impaling him to death. The spear disappeared as Deathborn created various purple spears that aimed at Luffy. Luffy jumped as soon as the spears homed right to him. Luffy did a couple of dodges in midair and as he avoided the last one, he stretched his foot up high as he was falling down to Deathborn. "GOMU GOMU NO ONO!" When Luffy got close enough, he lowered his stretched foot down at Deathborn, hitting his shoulder with great force.
"AAHHH!!" Deathborn cried in pain as he retaliated by punching Luffy back while he was still in midair.
Deathborn furiously created a purple orb with both of his palms, putting more energy in it than ever. "ETERNAL PAIN!" Deathborn leaps at Luffy as the orb turned into a spear and thrusts it down at Luffy, who managed to dodge by jumping back. As soon as Luffy landed on his feet, Deathborn's spear then turned into a sword as he quickly does a 360 degree slash on Luffy, who ducks to avoid. The sword then turned into a big hammer as Deathborn lifts it over his shoulder and lowers it down at Luffy, who crawls back to avoid the hammer, but couldn't avoid the shockwave that it gave all over the road. Luffy was sent flying back a couple feet until and charge back at Deathborn while stretching and twisting his arm back.
"GOMU GOMU NO RIFLE!" Luffy thrusts his stretched and twisted fist at Deathborn, who quickly changes his hammer into a shield that protected him from Luffy's attack. The attack however, did skidded Deathborn a couple of feet, not to mention that the punch was powerful enough to destroy Deathborn's shield.
"Hmph!" Deathborn teleported right in front of Luffy, who quickly tried to punch him, but missed as Deathborn teleported behind him. Luffy turns around and tries to punch Deathborn, but Deathborn once again teleported behind him once again. Luffy jumps up and does a 180 degree kick at Deathborn, who blocks with his limb before grabbing Luffy's arm and shoulder. Deathborn then throws Luffy out of the road and over a pool of lava and then throws his fist forward, making a purple shaped fist come flying out and right towards Luffy. Luffy couldn't avoid it so he stretched his arms and legs to the spikes close to him, making himself look like a huge net.
"GOAH!!" Deathborn's purple shaped fist impacts on Luffy's stomach, not only inflicting damage to him, but also banishing him back on the road. Deathborn slowly walks towards Luffy while he was struggling to get up and lifts him up to his level by his vest collar. Deathborn tried to swing his fist at Luffy, but Luffy blocked him by catching his arm with both of his hands. Luffy then upper kicked across Deathborn's jaw, making Deathborn to let go of him. Luffy flipped back on Deathborn's forearm and quickly jumps over him, kicking him at the back of his head with his heel in the process. Deathborn staggered forward as Luffy quickly turns around and stretches his leg.
"GOMU GOMU NO MUCHI!" Luffy does a stretched horizontal kick at Deathborn, hitting his ribs before he was sent flying out of the road. Luffy unstretches his leg and quickly goes to where Deathborn fell off, only to see that he was nowhere in sight. Knowing that Deathborn might appear behind him, Luffy quickly sends a 180 degree punch, hitting nothing but the air.
"Up here!"
Luffy looks up to see Deathborn falling right down at him. Deathborn was going down so fast, that it was nearly impossible to dodge away. "GOMU GOMU NO FUUSEN!" Luffy inflates himself to soften Deathborn's attack, which didnt work since Deathborn almost squashed him like a pancake. "GUOH!" Luffy felt sheer pain all over his body as Deathborn grabs him by the neck and starts to choke him with no mercy. Luffy struggled as he then grabbed on to Deathborn's limb and started to hold it tightly. So tightly, in fact, that it was crushing Deathborn, causing electrical sparks to come out of his arm. Deathborn had no choice but to let go of Luffy, letting him fall limplessly on the road.
Luffy got on his back and stretched his arms to grab Deathborn's shoulders. "GOMU GOMU NO..." Luffy jumps back while still holding on to Deathborn, stretching his arms as far as he could before doing multiple front flips. "... MARUNOKO!" Luffy unstretched his arms, heading straight to Deathborn while spinning like a buzzsaw. Luffy then delivered a devastating headbutt to Deathborn's forehead, almost knocking him out cold.
"ERRGH!!" Deathborn staggers back a few feet as Luffy unwraps himself off of him and then charges straight at him while stretching both of his arms back.
"GOMU GOMU NO BAZOOKA!" Luffy thrusts both of his palms at Deathborn's gut, sending him flying back a couple of feet and crash landed on the road. Despite that, Deathborn got up to one knee, with a few electric coming out of his body.
"I must admit..." Deathborn began to say. "Your brawn clearly replaces your intellectual. I guess life is not always filled with pathetic fools."
Luffy cracks his fists while glaring at Deathborn.
"However, you are in the underworld. And that happens to be MY territory! I wont allow such imbecile to embarrass me in my own land!" Deathborn exclaimed.
"Huh? Underworld?" Luffy asked. "DAAHHH! I'M DEAD!? Oh my gosh! When I meant that I'd go to the underworld to find the ten foot bug eye people, I didn't actually thought I would really go there! Oh man..." Luffy whimpered, thinking that he was actually, when he really wasn't.
"You fool. You are not dead yet." Deathborn said, which relaxed Luffy a bit. "You are currently alive... now. But you will see how death feels like after I kill you. But don't worry, you wont be alone. A trillions of more people will soon be joining you."
Luffy raised an eyebrow in confusion. "What do you mean by more people joining me?" Luffy asked in a monotone voice.
"I guess you haven't heard. My followers are creating a bomb that will destroy the entire galaxy, along with all the living aspects with it!" Deathborn exclaimed.
This shocked Luffy, making him angry. "What are you talking about!? Why would you want to do something as horrible as that!?"
"Don't you know? Humanity, along with it's creations, are a sin in my heart! It brings me such hatred to see people with their happiness and joy they spread amongst their families and others. I see no logic explanation why they must be so happy when there is never any reason to be! It sickens me so, and that is why everything must be destroyed! That way, they can finally express their true emotions."
"ARE YOU CRAZY!?!? People don't deserve to be treated the way you want them to!" Luffy yelled. "If they want to be happy, then they can be happy! There is no reason for you to get into their lives and mess them up!"
"What nonsense do you speak of now? The only thing you should know that I am right about this." Deathborn said, calmly while Luffy angrily glared at him. "Now then, where were we?"
Deathborn teleports, but as he instantly reappeared, he got punched across the jaw. "GRR!!" Before Deathborn could stagger, Luffy quickly gets behind him and kicks him at the back of his spine. Luffy then grabs the back of Deathborn's head and rams his skull down to the ground. Deathborn teleports far away from Luffy and reappears behind a boulder outside the racing circuit, panting heavily from receiving so much damage. The next thing he knew it, Luffy was already above him.
"GOMU GOMU NO YARI!" Luffy thrusts his feet down at Deathborn, who rolled out of the way as Luffy actually impaled his feet through solid rock. Deathborn then charges at Luffy, who instantly punched Deathborn, staggering him back. Luffy pulls his feet out of the ground and grabs the boulder next to him. He lifted a few inches from the ground and swung at Deathborn, who teleported up the sky to dodge. Luffy then lifts the boulder over his head and throws the boulder to Deathborn, who destroys it by firing a purple orb with his palm. After Deathborn destroyed the boulder, Luffy came flying right towards Deathborn, stretching his arm way back than usual.
"GOMU GOMU NO BULLET!" Luffy's arm unstretches, and quickly delivers a nasty jab to Deathborn, who went flying right up to ceiling of the underworld. Deathborn crashed to the ceiling and was now limblessly falling straight down.
Deathborn immediately recovers and was about to form an purple until he noticed Luffy was nowhere in sight. "GOMU GOMU NO" Deathborn looks to his right to see Luffy was on the racing circuit, stretching his arms while holding on to the mechanical ring around the road. "... ROCKET!" Luffy springs to Deathborn, and tackles him right in the stomach, sending him flying to a waterfall, only it was lava instead of water. Luffy quickly stretches his right to a column and swings back to land as Deathborn did the same by teleporting there before he could crash to the lava. Deathborn reappeared floating in the air, and formed thirteen purple orbs that circled around himself.
"13 ORBS OF CORRUPTION!" The orbs then formed into thirteen kinds of weapons, with their tips pointing away from him while circling around him. Luffy clenches his fist tightly as Deathborn charged down at Luffy, with his weapons swinging wildly at him. Luffy ducked under a sword, sidestepped away from a spear, backflipped away from an arrow fired by a bow, and jumps over a hammer that hits the ground.
"GOMU GOMU NO NET!" Luffy entangles his fingers with eachother and stretches them out, forming a net with fingers that covered Deathborn's body. Luffy then landed closed to Deathborn as all of his weapons were about to impale him. Luffy then gets out of the way as the weapons accidentally impaled Deathborn instead.
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!" The weapons disappeared as the Deathborn growls in pain. He furiously gets up and catches Luffy's fist. He then caught Luffy's other fist and countered with a headbutt to Luffy's face. Luffy staggered back as Deathborn uppercuts Luffy's gut before grabbing his foot and whipping him to the ground. Deathborn then places his big foot on the back of Luffy's head, making him unable to breath. "THIS.. ENDS.. NOW!!!"
Meanwhile...
"WEAPONS LEFT!"
KABOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!
"AAHHHHHHHH!!" A couple of soldiers cried as they were blown away by Franky. Franky then ran out of the room he was in and ran across the empty hallways.
"This place is like a maze!" Franky yelled. "No matter how far I go, it's like I keep ending back where I started! I hope that cook has beaten the hell out of that weirdo!"
Franky continued to run through the halls until he noticed something in front of him. He stopped running and noticed the Blue Falcon, with nobody in it. "How did this get in here?" Franky asked until he noticed a huge hole in the wall, along with the other holes in the wall inside. "Maaan... this Captain Falcon guy sure is extreme. Atleast I know that Strawhat isn't the only lunatic out there."
"Franky, is that you out there?"
"Huh? Is that you, Orange head?" Franky asked, looking left and right to see where Nami's face came from.
"Franky! Finally... get over here and help us! Robin and I are stuck!" Nami yelled from across the hall.
"Stuck? What do you mean by stuck?" Franky asked.
"Just get over here, you idiot!" Nami yelled angrily.
"Bah... fine then!" Franky ran to the end of the hallway. "Huh?" Once Franky have gotten there, he saw Nami and Robin's legs flailing up. Not to mention that he saw a bloody nose Sanji, happily unconscious. "What in the world?"
"Franky! Get us out of here! I am sick of being stuck!" Nami yelled.
"Ow! Nice curves." Franky said, giving them the thumbs up.
"GET US OUT!!!" Nami yelled even louder than before.
"Ha ha... okay, I'm coming." Franky walks up to Nami and Robin's legs and puts one arm around each of their legs. He easily pulled them out and softly placed them on the floor.
"How wonderful. We are already out." Robin said, calmly.
"Ha ha ha! You two sure have seemed to have enjoyed yourselves down there." Franky said while laughing.
BAM!!
"I will remind you that I don't like to be messed with. So dont piss me off next time, got it!?" Nami yelled with a vain popping out of her forehead and her eyes as angry as ever. Franky got hit at the back of his head by Nami, now bleeding as we speak.
"Y-Yeah... I gotcha." Franky stuttered as he was struggling to get on his feet. Nami cooled off a bit, but still felt really angry.
"I cant believe that we were stuck in that stupid hole for such a long time!" Nami yelled as she then looked at the hole she was in. "I am no longer in your possession! What are you going to do about it now, huh!?"
"She is so pissed, she is yelling at a hole." Franky commented as sweatdropped went down his forehead.
"Miss Navigator, if you are quite finished, we should probably help out our comrades." Robin said.
Nami cooled down a bit and started to stomp off to a different direction. "Franky, get Sanji-kun. We are finding this Black Shadow and rescuing Chopper ourselves."
Franky, not wanting to disobey Nami, lifted Sanji up on his shoulders. Robin and Franky then followed Nami to the upper floor.
Meanwhile...
Deathborn continued to crush Luffy's face between the his foot and the ground, giving him no chance to recover. "You should have surrendered and died peacefully when you had the chance! Now I will kill you under my boot!" Deathborn yelled. Luffy is doing his best to get himself free, but Deathborn was overpowering him by the second.
"I.. wont.. LOSE!" Luffy stretches both of his leg and wraps them around Deathborn's neck, surprising him the instant it happened. "GOMU GOMU NO..." Luffy manages to get Deathborn's foot off of his head and started to twist his upper torso. After doing that multiple of times, he impaled his fingers to the ground. "... WHIPLASH!" Luffy then lets his upper torso to untwist himself, taking Deathborn for a ride as he span, along with Luffy's legs, in circles. As Luffy's upper torso completely untwists itself, he instantly unwrapped his legs off of Deathborn, sending him flying right through a line of boulders, destroying them instantly as he crashed through.
Luffy pulls his fingers out and breathes heavily while putting his hands on his knees. He stood up and wondered if he defeated Deathborn or not. He quickly got his answer as Deathborn appeared right in front of Luffy and kicked him back. Luffy staggers a couple of feet, almost falling to a pool of lava behind him as Deathborn raised his fist and lowers it down at Luffy, who knocks his fist out of the way, and counters with a punch in the face. The punch dazed Deatborn a bit as Luffy started to punch him with same fist over and over again. "GOMU GOMU NO PISTOL!" Luffy ends his combo by stretching his fist right into Deathborn's face, taking him down on one knee.
Luffy then stretches his foot up as high as he could, ready to lower it on Deathborn. "GOMU GOMU NO...
"YAAHHH!" Before Luffy could lower his foot, Deathborn quickly gets on his feet and swings his forearm right through Luffy's head, knocking him down. Luffy stretched leg accidentally wrapped around a spike on the ceiling as it started to unstretch, taking Luffy to it.
Luffy crashed into the spike as his leg unwrapped itself. Luffy then holds on to the spike as their was a pool of lava below him. Luffy gasped as he then saw Deathborn charging up another purple orb. Luffy quickly looks right and left, hoping that there is another ceiling spike close to him, but there was none as Deathborn finished charging up. "DIE!" Deathborn thrusts both of his palms forward, shooting out five purple orbs at Luffy at the same time. Luffy noticed that the orbs spreaded a bit after they were fired, so he took the opportunity to jump off the spike and stretch his arms at Deathborn's shoulder, and spring himself back to him.
Luffy manages to go right by the orbs before they could unspread and collide with eachother, making a massive explosive that caused Deathborn skid back a bit. After the explosion was over, Deathborn then saw Luffy heading right towards him with his feet facing at him. Luffy lands on Deathborn's face, staggering him back before jumping off. Luffy backflips to get some distance before he charged at Deathborn while stretching both of his arms back. "GOMU GOMU NO BAZOOKA!" Luffy thrusts both of his palms at Deathborn's gut, making him cry in pain. Before Deathborn even had the chance to land on his knees, Luffy kicks up in the air.
As Deathborn spiraled up in the sky, Luffy took a deep breath, inflating himself like an oversized balloon. He then twists his upper body multiple times before facing down and letting all the air out, making him fly right to Deathborn. "GOMU GOMU NO STORM!!" Luffy then sends a barrage of punches to Deathborn, forcing him back into the ceiling. "OOO OOO OOA AAA HHH HHH HHH!!!" Within every nanosecond, Luffy delivers a punch to Deathborn, not giving him the chance to recover at all. The ceiling then started to crack, and it got bigger and bigger until it was completely destroyed, with Luffy delivering the last punch to Deathborn's face, sending him flying outside of the underworld.
Luffy was now exhausted, now falling down to the ground, knowing that he defeated Deathborn. "Uh... I did it." Luffy whispered in exhaustion. He noticed Deathborn coming to his view, falling down faster than he was. Deathborn seemed to be unconscious, which made Luffy feel relieved.
"... WHH HHH YYYY YYY YY YOO OOO OUU UUU UU UU!!!!!"
To Luffy's surprise, Deathborn was still conscious, even after all of that. "I WILL TEAR YOU APART!!!" Deathborn yelled furiously as he clenched both of his fists together and raised them up high as he was falling straight down to Luffy. Luffy could barely move a single muscle and cant do anything to protect himself. Deathborn lowered his clenched fists down at Luffy, who coughed out some blood before crashing straight down to the ground like a meteorite. Deathborn teleported to his side, and started to punch Luffy repeatedly, giving him multiple bruises all over his body. Deathborn then kicks Luffy close to a pool of lava, with his hat falling off of his head.
Deathborn, who is almost losing conscious, slowly limps to Luffy, with multiple sparks coming out of some of his body parts. He got closed to Luffy, who seems to be unconscious, and lifts him up by grabbing his face. He then hangs Luffy over a pool of lava, glaring him with great hatred.
"I BANISH YOU!!!!"
Meanwhile...
Captain Falcon and Chopper are now at the upper floors, running through them as we speak. "If memory serves, Black Shadow's room should be right here." Captain Falcon said.
"Yeah, your right. I can smell his scent around here." Chopper said.
They eventually reached to the double doors that led to Black Shadow's room. "There it is!" Captain Falcon yelled as he did a running kick at the door, opening the double door in an instant. Captain Falcon gasped when he saw inside the room.
"What? What is it?" Chopper asked before entering the room. "Oh wow..." Chopper gasped as he too saw inside Black Shadow's room. It was completely burned to crisp, with the smell of fire flowing around the room. The spiraled stairs were destroyed, multiple pillars were a wreck, not to mention that there is no longer a ceiling, and there was also a smashed monitor at the end of the room. "Wh-What happened here? This isn't how the place looked like when I escaped."
Captain Falcon did not say anything and jumped down to the room below. Chopper did the same, but landed on a pile of rubble. Captain Falcon walked around, looking at the mess before him. Chopper popped his head out of the rubble as he remembered something. "Oh no! What happened to Sogeking!? What if he is dead!?"
"We can't tell by the looks of this place, Chopper. I highly doubt that Sogeking would die, but let's look around just in case." Captain Falcon said, while looking around. Chopper gulped in fear and started to search all over the room, hoping to not find Sogeking's corpse. Captain Falcon walked up to smashed monitor and noticed a big part of it on the floor. Captain Falcon raised part of the monitor and looks what was underneath it.
Nothing.
Captain Falcon raised an eyebrow as he puts down the big part of the monitor, gently. He started to walk away, until he stepped on a piece of paper that caught his attention. He picked it up and read it. "This can't be..."
"Hm?" Chopper walks up to him, wondering what he is reading. "What is that?"
"This is a journal that Black Shadow wrote. It said that Deathborn has returned..." Captain Falcon said. His eyes widened when read further.
"What? What did he write?" Chopper asked. Captain Falcon did not answer as he ran through a door. Chopper was confused and worried, so he followed Captain Falcon. Captain Falcon and Chopper were now inside an empty hanger, with the main doors open.
"We are too late!" Captain Falcon yelled. "Chopper! We must find the others! We are going back to Mute City!" Captain Falcon yelled as he ran out of the hanger.
"Why!? Did something happen!?" Chopper asked while chasing after Falcon.
Meanwhile...
"YYY YYY YYY YYY YYY YYY YYA AAA AAA AAA AAA AAA AAA AAA AAA AAA AAA AAA AAA AAH HHH HHH HHH HHH HHH HHH HHH HHH HHH!!!!!"
Sogeking, Zoro, and Goroh were heading full speed straight to Mute City, with Goroh's vehicle still going out of control. "WE MUST STOP!! WE ARE GOING TO CRASH!!" Sogeking yelled while tears were coming out of his goggles.
"What does it look like I am doing!? I am working on this thing as fast as I can!!" Goroh yelled, pushing several buttons on his steering wheel.
"Do it faster, guy that I dont know!!" Sogeking yelled.
"Hold on, we are going to crash!!" Zoro yelled, as they were getting really close to Mute City.
"I FOUND THE PROBLEM!!" Goroh yelled as pushed a certain button on the steering wheel. He then stepped on the brakes with full force, causing his vehicle to stop completely.
"WOAAAHHH!!!" Since all three of them didn't had their seatbelts on, they were sent flying straight out of the vehicle and into the road in front of them. Zoro landed on his feet, Sogeking on his face, and Goroh inside a trashcan.
"Ohh..." Goroh got dizzy after landing inside the trashcan. "Atleast it's finally over."
CLANK!
"Huh? ... OH NO, NOT AGAIN!!" Metal clanks from a garbage truck grabbed to the trashcan Goroh was in and throws him in the back with the rest of the garbage. "Get me out of here! I do not deserve to be in this predicament again!" Goroh yelled as the garbage truck drove away.
Zoro brushes the dust off of his pants and looks where the garbage truck went. "It looks like I wont be seeing him later." Zoro commented as Sogeking got to his knees and rubbed his nose in pain. "Oi, Sogeking. You feelin' okay?
"I have been better." Sogeking said, getting up to his feet. "Ah!" Sogeking then fell on one knee as he felt sheer pain on his shoulder.
"What's wrong?" Zoro asked.
"Eh... nothing. I just used a impact dial on Black Shadow. He wont be messing with anybody anymore." Sogeking said, massaging his shoulder.
Zoro raised an eyebrow. "Wait... you defeated that Black Shadow guy?" Zoro asked.
This infuriated Sogeking. "O-Of course I did! What did you expect!? That I'd probably lose against him? Noooo! I won!" Sogeking said. "I rescued Chopper, and I defeated Black Shadow all by myself!"
"Ohh... wow." Zoro said.
"Wow? Is that all you have to say?" Sogeking asked.
"Yeah, pretty much. Although... that was really quite something. Never knew you had it in you." Zoro said, proud of Sogeking.
"Ah... there is no need to be proud. It is something that always happen to the great Sogeking. Ha ha ha!" Sogeking posed like a superhero, hoping that it will amuse Zoro, but it didn't.
"By the way, where is Chopper?" Zoro asked.
"Eh? Oh no! He is still back in the base!" Sogeking yelled out. "We gotta go rescue him again!"
"Hold on, there is no need for that." Zoro said, stopping Sogeking in his tracks. "If you say that you defeated Black Shadow, then I am sure that the rest will help him get out of there easily. Besides, It will be too long for us to get all the way back there. Just relax now."
Sogeking took Zoro's word and sat on the road, sighing in relief. Zoro smiled and looked at the sky. The sun was now starting to set, almost making it night. "Hmm?" Zoro hears something and looks in front of the road. He squints his eyes and could barely see something big and fast coming to Mute City. "Sogeking... are you sure you took care of Black Shadow?"
"Hmm? Yeah, why do you ask?" Sogeking asked. Zoro points to where he is looking at. Sogeking looks at where Zoro is pointing and gasped in surprise. "Wha-Wha-Wha-Wha-What is that!?"
The big and fast thing heading to Mute City turned out to be a big F-Zero vehicle. It was black and has a huge engine inside. The most shocking thing is that the person riding it is none other than Black Shadow, with dried Blood on his face he got after fighting with Sogeking.
"If I must sacrifice myself to destroy the entire galaxy, then I shall do just that!! I grabbed the bomb and installed it to my vehicle's engine! Once I crash into a building, the whole galaxy will be destroyed!!! Mwa ha ha ha ha ha!!" Black Shadow laughed as inside the engine was a tiny bomb, that is actually the bomb that can destroy the entire galaxy.
"He is still alive! But how?!" Sogeking asked.
"Dammit! He is not going to stop!" Zoro said as he unsheathed his swords. "Stand back, Sogeking! I'll handle him!"
Black Shadow squinted his eyes and saw Sogeking and some other person he didn't recognize. "SOGEKING!! I will destroy you along with everyone else!! I will teach you once and for all that people like you will never win against people like me!"
Sogeking looked on. Black Shadow was coming in fast and Zoro was the only one there doing something to stop him. He cant afford to back down at a time like this. "Wait, Zoro. Let me handle him..."
"Eh!?" Zoro looked behind his shoulder. "Are you crazy!? What can you possibly do stop him, Soge... huh?"
Zoro looks at Sogeking, who was taking off his mask. Usopp had a stern look on his face as he then walked past Zoro, with his slingshot, Kabuto, in his hand.
"Usopp..." Zoro stared at Usopp, who stood there, awaiting Black Shadow.
"I finally understood what Stan meant to say..." Usopp said, remembering the conversation he had with Stan Lee a multiple hours ago. "He didn't meant that I should be someone else so I can protect people, he meant that I should confront my fears and do my best to save my friends, no matter how hard it might be." Usopp faces his slingshot at Black Shadow's incoming vehicle. "I have always been said that I was too weak to do anything... I was always told... that I should back down and let the big guys handle things... but not anymore..."
"THAT'S IT! STAY THERE SO I CAN RUN YOU OVER!!!" Black Shadow yelled, but it didn't intimidate Usopp.
"It has always been said that everyone should face their demons... I guess... the time for me to face my demons is now."
"DIE, YOU WORM!" Black Shadow yelled, as he was within 200 feet away from Usopp.
Usopp aims at Black Shadow's vehicle without any hesitation. "I have always been told that I was an outcast, but... I AM NOT AN OUTCAST ANYMORE!!!!! HISSATSU..."
A big blinding light was starting to form in front of Usopp. "It is useless!! I wont die! I will never die!!" Black Shadow yelled.
"SOGEKAMA BOSHI!!!" Usopp fires something small light at Black Shadow's vehicle. The light then got bigger, and started to change into something.
"What is that!?!" Black Shadow asked as what he saw in front of him was some sort of a god with a sword in hand. The god figure than charged at Black Shadow's vehicle and lowers it humongous sword down at him.
"NNN NNN NNN NNN NN YYYY YY YYY YYY YYY YYYY YYYY YYYY YYYY YYYY YYY YAAA AAA AAA AAA AAA AAA AAA AAA AAA AAA AAA AAA AHH HHH HHH HHH HHH HHH HHH HHH HHH HHH HHH HHH HHH!!!!!!"
The figure's sword created a blind light around him and sended Black Shadow, along with his vehicle, flying out of orbit.
KABO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OMMM MMMM MMM MMM MMM MMM MM!!
A big explosion happened right in space and it could have gotten bigger if it weren't for the orb of light surrounding it. The explosion was so bright, it lits up the whole galaxy for a couple of seconds.
"WHOA!!" Usopp cried in surprise as he fell to his behind. "Did... did I just do that?"
"I-Incredible." Zoro commented as the light faded away, as well as the god figure Usopp created.
"Whoa..." Usopp then fainted.
TO BE CONTINUED...
Preview: This guy is harder to beat than I thought. But I need to beat him, or everyone is going to suffer. Next time on One Piece: A Smash Adventure; Chapter 51: Target acquired, set sail to the next world. I am gonna be the Pirate King!
Back at Chapter 1, It said something about Usopp beating a demon. Now that is what I call foreshadowing! Okay, I have a big test on Wednesday, so updating before then will be unlikely. The next chapter will end the Luffy vs Deathborn battle and it will also be the last chapter for this arc. See ya next time!
