We last saw the top 3 strongest Straw Hats and Ace preparing to face off with Hao and his 3 new followers. "I don't know about you guys, but I don't want to fight the woman," says Sanji. "Though she isn't my type, I refuse to hurt any kind of woman."
"I don't care who my opponent is," says Zoro. "Even if it's a girl."
"I'm not picky when it comes to fighting too," says Ace.
Mantis steps forward and says, "Are you guys starting or not? A predator will not wait for its prey to be ready!" He pulls out two scythes out of nowhere. "Oversoul! Into the Twin Scythe!" His scythes glow with a greenish light and he charges straight at the pirates. Seeing him armed with the blades, Zoro naturally pulls out all three of his swords and charge at him, since he prefers his opponent to be armed with blades.
The both clash weapons togethers, trying to push each other away. "So you are Roronoa Zoro, the pirate hunter who uses Three-Sword Style," says Mantis.
"Yeah? So what?" asks Zoro.
"I've been looking forward to fight with you!"
"Well, the green algae head picked his opponent, so I should take that big guy," says Sanji. He turns to Bull just in time to see him performing oversoul into the armor he is wearing, and then Bull charges forward like a bull.
Sanji lifts up his leg and uses it to stop Bull in his path. The shamans are surprised that he has such great strength in his feet.
Ace turns to Marlin and says, "Looks like it's only us two now."
Marlin holds up a stuffed swordfish doll and says, "My Triton is the only person that ever cared for me. I'm so lonely; nobody ever cared about my existence. Thinking of that makes me sad, and angry!" Her swordfish flashes and starts moving on its own!
"You got some cool magic there!" says Ace. The oversouled swordfish doll charges forward to attack Ace, but he just stands there, smiling for no reason.
"Run, Ace!" Yoh shouts at him. "You're going to get hit!"
Too late, the tip of the swordfish's nose stabs Ace right through the stomach. The good shamans are shocked, but not the pirates. "Ace can't go down that easily," says Luffy with a smile.
The swordfish pulls itself out of Ace's body, and to everyone's surprise, the hole that was made slowly recovers! The shamans are all shocked. "Did you not ask me while on the ship what fruit I ate?" Ace says to Yoh. His body starts to burn with fire. "I ate the Mera Mera Fruit, a Logia type Devil Fruit that allows my body to turn into fire and I can control fire at will!"
"Cool!" exclaims Yoh.

Zoro and Mantis are still clashing swords with each other. Mantis hops back several steps and swings his scythes hard against the air. "Mantis Blaster!" He fires two green energy blades from his sword.
Zoro quickly jumps out of the way. "I can do that too! 108 Pound Cannon!" He slashes the air with his swords and shot out several blue energy blades, but Mantis blocks them with his scythes.
"No matter how good you, a mere human cannot defeat a shaman!" says Mantis.
"Oh yeah? So if I defeat you, that means I'm more superior than all shamans, right?"
"Ha! Dream on! Normal humans are weaklings that don't deserve a place in this world! Now prepare to be killed! Scythe Chopper!" He runs forward while spinning both his scythes in his hand like a propeller.
"Did he just called me?" asks Chopper.
Zoro uses his sword to block the incoming attack. When his swords hit with Mantis's spinning scythes, spark fly out everywhere. "Sparks! How fast does he spins it?" wonders Zoro.
Quick as a flash, Mantis shoots up into the air and slashes Zoro in both his shoulders.
"GAAA!"
"Oh no! Zoro is hit!" screams Chopper.
Mantis laughs at him and says, "Now get it into your head: Normal humans can never surpass a shaman!" He then slashes Zoro severely times with his scythes, making blood fly everywhere.
His friends are all shocked. "ZORO!" screams Luffy and Usopp.
Sanji turns to Zoro and says "Hey! You better not die!"
"You got time to worry about your friend?" says Bull, and he tackles Sanji hard, sending him into a rock with a bang.
"What did I say? Humans are weaklings, right?" says Hao.
The good shamans step forward and are going to fight back. "We're going to put you to an end here!" says Yoh.
Zoro slowly gets up, much to everyone's surprise. "He's still alive!" exclaims Ryu. "How can someone loss that much blood and still stand?"
"Why won't you stay dead? Isn't it less painful that way?" Mantis asks him.
Zoro remembers about Mihawk and says, "I made a promise to someone that I will not lose until I defeat him…"
"I don't care what promise you have, just die!" Mantis charges at him to deliver the final blow.
The shamans are about to step forward and help Zoro when he picks up his swords and performs a spinning attack. "Dragon Twister!"
His spinning knocks Mantis high into the air and he gets slash by several wind blades. "WAAAAAAA!" His scythes shatter into pieces and he falls onto the ground.
"Cool! So that is Three-Sword Style!" exclaims Yoh.
"You're pretty special for a human," says Hao. "But do you think that'll change what I believe in?"
"Then you haven't seen anything yet," Zoro tells him, and then he collapse onto the floor due to the damage he received. Chopper quickly runs to him and heal him.
Bull charges at the two and says, "You'll pay for hurting Mantis!"
"AHHH! HELP ME!" screams Chopper. Suddenly, Sanji appears in front of Bull and kicks him, stopping him in his tracks.
"You're still alive?" asks Bull in surprise.
"I'm not the type to die easily," replies Sanji. "Your opponent is me alone, and you shouldn't fiddle with others."
Sanji then perform several kicking techniques at Bull. He performs a leg sweep to knock him to the ground, then he slams his foot against Bull's stomach over and over, and then he kicks him high into the air like a soccer ball. Bull, however, did not take any injuries. He drops back down like a meteor to crush Sanji, but misses.
"My armor cannot be penetrated!" says Bull. "Kick as hard as you want, you are just wasting your energy!"
"I see, so I cannot hit you in the parts with armor."
"So just give up and die!" Bull charges forward at full speed to hit Sanji again.
"But I can kick you in the face." Sanji performs a quick somersault spin forward and lands his foot straight into Bull's face.
POW!
Bull yells in pain and flies back onto the ground. Sanji then stomps his face rapidly, and then he kicks Bull in the head, sending him high into the air! The shamans are surprised by his powerful kicks. Sanji jumps up into the air and slams his foot down on Bull's head.
SLAM!
Bull shoots back onto the ground with a bang.
BANG!
And he passes out, with a bloody face and several loose teeth. Sanji lands on the ground and smokes a cigarette. "This proves that normal humans can be stronger than shamans."
"Did you see that? That was totally amazing!" exclaims Chocolove. "That's not what ordinary people can do!"
"I've never seen anyone you can kick that strong too!" says Lyserg.

"There's no way you can hit me," Ace says to Marlin. "Pirates of Whitebeard are not one to be fooled with."
"Did I not say my specialty is water?" says Marlin. "Triton, Water Beam!" The swordfish doll opens its mouth and fires a long stream of water, which Ace quickly hops aside to avoid.
"Okay, you're getting somewhere. If I touch water, then I won't be able to turn into fire and you can hit me! But that's if the water can even touch me first!"
The swordfish fires several water bullets at Ace, but none of them hit him; he moves around way too fast.
"Don't think you can escape this! Tidal Crash!" Marlin commands the swordfish. It opens its mouth and vomits (is this even the right term?) out a large amount of water, forming a large tidal wave.
"Uh-oh. Big problem," says Ace. He turns into a large column of fire and flies against the incoming wave. When both sides come in contact, a large amount of steam is released. To everyone's surprise, Ace's fire evaporates all the waters! He flies to Marlin and punches her square in the stomach. "UGH!" Then he shoots a long stream of fire and burns her. "AAAAAA!" And then she collapses onto the ground, burned from head to toe.
"I'm afraid I'm too hot to be doused by water," says Ace, turning back to his normal form.
The shamans are amazed and shocked by the power he has! "What kind of power is that!" asks Lyserg in awe.
"Now I feel like wanting to eat a Devil Fruit!" says Horohoro.
"Hey, weren't you a bit too harsh on the lady?" Sanji asks Ace.
"She started it first."
Hao looks at his three fallen henchmen and says, "You've really disappointed me. Oh well, time for you to rest… for eternity." He snaps his fingers and instantly, fire appears out of nowhere and consumes the three fallen henchmen.
"What he's doing!" asks Usopp in shock. "He's burning his own comrades!"
"That fiend! How can he do that!" says Yoh angrily.
When the fires die out, nothing is left of those three. Not even the ashes.
"Whoa! He got the same kind of power as me!" says Ace.
"What have you done to them!" Luffy asks Hao angrily.
"I just sent them to hell," replies Hao.
"How can you do that!"
"Because they loss to normal humans, so they are weak. Only the strong can follow me while the weak should die."
Luffy is enraged upon hearing this, and he shouts out at the top of his voice, "WHAT DO YOU TAKE YOUR FRIENDS FOR!"
TO BE CONTINUED…
I don't want to drag the story too long, so I just made the three fights into one chapter. Sorry if it's too short for those who like action, but I want to get to Luffy vs. Hao part fast. I'm sure you'll like it!
And BTW, did I not say about the upcoming SK and DKC crossover story? Here's a section of the story that you will be seeing. I hope you look forward to it!
"Let go of Manta!" Yoh shouts at K. Rool while rushing to the evil crocodile with his oversouled sword.
"That kid dare challenge our captain!" says one of the Kremlings. "Captain! Show him your shaman powers that you learned recently!"
"Har! Har!" laughs K. Rool. "Let's see who's the better shaman! Crocolord, Oversoul into the gun!" A ghostly crocodile appears next to K. Rool and enters the big gun he is holding.
"He's a shaman too!" says Ren in surprise.
Okay, that's all I'm showing you. Just wait for the day the story comes.
