Just found out I forgot to put world name in Chapter 22… I got it put down now.
Chapter 24: Wax Harder Than Steel! The Art of Creative Killing!
Luigi is trying to pull Mario out of the pit. "Struggle hard! Try to pull yourself upwards!"
"Yaaaah! My body eez gonna be ripped in half!"
After some struggle, Luigi finally succeeds in pulling Mario out. "Phew… Thank you very much!" says Mario. "Now we must-a go reschue Peachy!"
"I'll have to be brave and enter the forest!" Luigi thought to himself. "There's no other way to go now!" Mario and Luigi run into the forest that Shademan and Turboman went into.
Meanwhile, Kirby and Zero are still waiting for Zelda to return. "I wonder what's taking her so long?" says Kirby. "Did she really get into trouble along with Link? If that really is, then I'll have to go ask for help." He turns to Zero and says, "Can you find my other friends?" Zero nods and runs off in a random direction, followed by Kirby.
In the middle of the forest, Mr. 3 seems very pleased with the two people that he caught—Zelda and Link! Both of them have their hands and feet trapped in a wax block, so they're unable to move. "What do you want with us!" asks Link angrily.
"You see, I am an artist. To be precise, a sculptor," replies Mr. 3. "I ate a devil fruit called Doru Doru Fruit, and now I can produce wax from my body! I am about to start a new art creation and I need a handsome man and two beautiful women."
"So?"
Mr. 3 shows him his sketch work. It shows a man standing in the middle and two women standing side-by-side next to him, embracing him. "This is how the final work looks like. Both you and that girl have the perfect face and body for the models!"
At this moment, Shademan and Turboman come into the scene, dragging Peach along with them. "We caught her," says Shademan as he throws Peach in front of Mr. 3. "Ouch! Be polite, can you!" says Peach angrily. "Perfect!" says Mr. 3. "This girl is a lovely one!"
"Oh! You think I'm pretty? Don't say that, you're making me shy!"
"Now let's delay no further! I'm going to start my masterpiece!"
Mario and Luigi are running through the forest, looking for Peach. Suddenly, Mario kicks into something pink, causing it to fly into the air and into a tree. "Oh, it's-a Kirby!" says Mario. "Watch where you're going next time…" says Kirby as he falls down from the tree.
"Where's Link and Zelda?" asks Luigi. "I thought they're with you."
"They went ahead of me and disappeared!" explains Kirby. "I figured out they might be in trouble, so I came to look for you guys for help!"
"Link-a and Zelda in trouble? That's-a very bad! We must-a rescue them! Peachy is also captured!"
The 4 of them run through the forest, shouting Link and Zelda's name. Eventually, they made it to the middle of the forest, where they see a large surprise in front of them. "Mamamia! What eez dat!" exclaims Mario. "Can't you see? It's a giant cake!" Kirby tells him.
Sure enough, in front of them is a giant cake made totally out of wax! On top of the cake stand Link, Zelda, and Peach! Zelda and Peach are embracing Link in a romantic way too! Behind them is a giant candle and on top of it stands a pumpkin-like object.
"Link, Zelda, and Peach are there!" points out Luigi. "Why don't you come down?"
"I can't!" replies Link. "I could have done it several minutes ago if I could!"
"We're stuck in this position!" says Peach. "Get us out of here!" shouts Zelda.
"Okey-dokey!" replies Mario, and then he runs up to the wax cake. "Oh no you don't!" shouts Mr. 3 as he throws a wax knife at him, but Mario quickly jumps aside to avoid it. "Do not ruin my art while it is in process!" says Mr. 3.
"What-a are you doing to my friend?" asks Mario angrily.
"They are going to become my newest sculpture!" replies Mr. 3. "Right now, they're stuck in that position and that pumpkin at the top is releasing wax powder. If they breathe in the wax powder, they'll slowly turn into wax! After 30 minutes, they will permanently turn into wax, meaning… THEY WILL DIE!"
"You fiend! That-a eez killing, not art-a!"
"How dare you defy fine art! I'll teach you a lesson!"
Luigi, Kirby, and Zero are standing on the side, ready to cheer for Mario. Suddenly, Shademan and Turboman step up in front of them. "Rather than worrying about your friend, why not worry about yourself?" says Shademan. "Uh oh… We're in trouble," says Luigi. "These two look tough," says Kirby. "But I'm sure we can defeat them if we work together. Right, Luigi?" He turns to Luigi, only to see that he and Zero have run off into the distance. "I can't possibly fight these two alone," Kirby thought to himself, and then he runs off after Luigi.
"Don't run! You'll never escape!" says Turboman angrily, and then the two robot masters chase after them.
Mr. 3 begins the battle by throwing a wax knife at Mario. Mario avoids it by jumping into the air and throws a fireball at him, but Mr. 3 is able to avoid it. "So you got devil fruit ability too," says Mr. 3. "I don't-a have devil fruit ability!" replies Mario. "Da fire comes from da fire flower sewed onto my glove-a!" He opens his hand and shows Mr. 3 the fire flower that's embedded onto his glove.
"Devil fruit or not, you cannot defeat me!" says Mr. 3, but in his mind, he is thinking, "Damn! He is using fire, the only thing that can melt my waxes!"
"And if you don't-a know, fire melts wax!" says Mario.
Mr. 3 growls angrily, but he's not gonna lose to a fat Italian plumber, not especially when your boss is a terrifying person that does not allow failures! He points out his finger and fires several wax needles. Mario counters them by shooting fireballs, melting the needles as they fly toward him.
Mario then runs towards Mr. 3 to give him a punch. Mr. 3 jumps back into the air to avoid the punch, and then he fires a glob of wax at Mario's feet. When the wax comes in contact with his feet, it forms into a hammer-like structure and instantly dries! "Mamamia! My feet-a eez stuck-a!" cries Mario. "Nobody can escape from a candle lock!" says Mr. 3. "Now prepare to die!" But to Mr. 3's surprise, Mario jumps upside-down and lands on his hands, and then he performs a back flip into the air using only his hands! He spins in midair and falls towards Mr. 3, landing the candle lock onto this face. Mr. 3 falls back onto the ground, knocked out by his own candle lock. Mario touches the candle lock on his legs, and using the fire flower, he melts the wax and frees himself.
"Who do you say eez gonna die?" asks Mario sarcastically. Mr. 3 gets back up and growls angrily. He produces a large amount of wax in his hand and forms a large sword out of it! "Mamamia! That-a eez very cool!" exclaims Mario.
"Mario! Help us!" yells Link from the wax cake. "It's getting harder and harder to breathe!"
"Oh right-a!" Mario runs to the cake and prepare to throw a fireball at it, but he is instantly stopped by Mr. 3, who slashes the sword across his back! Mario falls face-first onto the ground and groans in pain from the cut. "Do not destroy my art!" says Mr. 3. "Now lie down here and enjoy watching your friends dying slowly!"
No matter how hard those three 'models' struggle, they just can't free themselves from that position. Deep inside Link's mind, he is thinking, "It feels nice to have girls hugging you tightly!"
Mr. 3 raises the sword above Mario and brings it down on him, but Mario immediately turns around and clasps both hands against the sides of the sword. Using the fire flower glove, he melts the wax sword! "You uncivilized fatso!" says Mr. 3 angrily, but before he can do anything, Mario flips into the air and kicks him in the chin. While Mr. 3 is in pain, Mario thrusts his hand into Mr. 3's chest and blasts him backwards using the explosion from the fire flower glove. An easy way to explain this move would be the forward smash attack.
Mr. 3 puts his hand over the damaged spot and says, "Argh! I let my guard down!" Mario runs to him and performs Mario Tornado. He comes in contact with Mr. 3 and pummels him rapidly, not giving him a chance to strike back. At the end of the spin, Mr. 3 gets launched into the air, Mario then performs a Super Jump Punch on him, knocking him higher into the air. As Mr. 3 falls down towards the ground, Mario performs a forward smash attack against his body. The impact this time is harder than before, so Mr. 3 gets blast off into the forest and he disappears among the trees and bushes. "AAAAAAAARRRRRRRGH!"
"I did-a eet!" exclaims Mario while doing a little victory dance. "Now hurry up and free us!" yells Link from the cake.
"I don't-a want to!" replies Mario. "What!" exclaims the three 'models' in shock.
"How can you say that!" asks Peach. "You're not like yourself!"
"You must help us!" says Zelda. "You want us to die!"
"I don't-a care! Just die!" snaps back Mario fiercely.
"Are you insane!" says Link angrily. "Has that battle made you lose your wits!"
"Shut-a up! Pointy ear freaky! You can go to hell and suffa there!"
"Mario isn't acting normal!" says Peach. "What's wrong with him?"
Behind Mario stood Ms. Goldenweek with a paintbrush in her hand, and she says, "Black—color of betrayal."
Meanwhile, Luigi, Zero, and Kirby are still busy running from the two robots. "Come back here!" shouts Turboman.
TO BE CONTINUED…
Those who watch the subbed or original One Piece will know why Mario is acting strange when Ms. Goldenweek is standing behind him. Yeah, this chapter is copied from Little Garden arc. I may not be very original and creative in plots, but as long as the story is enjoyable, you wouldn't give a second thought about it, right?
One more thing: Would you mind making your reviews a little more 'mature'? Instead of typing short words like "Great story!" or "Cool chapter!", please put down longer and more descriptive phrases in your reviews, okay?
