Alabasta Arc opening: Know Know Know by Does (Gintama Op. 15)
Beside the still sinking quicksand, it became eerily quiet. That is, until another figure appeared. She looked emotionless into the pit, before shaking her head slightly and crossed her arms.
Immediately, a trail of arms blossomed out of the ground, grasping with coordination. The two previously buried pirates were dragged out into the open. The two of the certainly have seen better days. Luffy has major cuts and lacerations all over his body, while a gaping hole where Crocodile's hook impaled him earlier still bled. Gian, while healing from his numerous injuries including the vicious bite on his arm, had his entire lower body starting from his legs completely dried up; it was a surprise that he was still able to grasp his weapon at all. Neither of them were awake, though that was going to change soon.
"W-where is- huh?" the Kaiju-Zoan's eyes fluttered open first. He looked around him, before noticing the absence of their two opponents. His gaze soon snapped to a still-unconscious Luffy. Concern overcame him as he struggled to reach him. It was only then he realized the sorry state that his legs are in, and came up with the only appropriate response:
"WHAT IN THE HOLY NAME OF-"
He was so preoccupied with that ordeal that he didn't even notice the presence of Miss All-Sunday nearby. The normally stoic woman actually had to stifle a chuckle at that; this crew was just too amusing at times.
"-DAMN THAT CROCODILE TO HELL! HE COULD'VE JUST KILLED US BUT NOOOO HE HAD TO MAKE SURE I'LL POTENTIALLY NEVER HAVE KIDS DOESN'T HE! AND MR. 0.5 TOO! WHEN I FIND THAT SON OF A BITCH I'LL SHOVE MY ENTIRE FIST DOWN HIS THROAT IF HE LIKES CHEWING ON IT SO MUCH!"
"The boundless energy shown by your group never ceases to amaze me." Only then did he realize that he and Luffy were not alone in the area.
"What the-?! What the hell are you doing here?! Come to finish the job?!" Gian snarled as he raised Atom Splitter as best he could. "78 million bounty or not, I can't believe I didn't notice her!"
"Even after taking a beating like the one you did, you still have the strength to defend yourself… I don't know whether it's just the Goji-Goji no Mi's regeneration or you just have a large reserve of vitality." Miss All-Sunday smirked "Regardless, you're in luck. I have no wish to dispose of you two, considering the role you two have played thus far."
"…What do you mean by that?"
"That boy," Miss All-Sunday motioned at Luffy "Why does he continue to fight?"
"Why else? To make sure you and your boss's plan never see the light of day? To take back every tear you've drew from our friend?!" Gian growled "You're not exactly in the right moral high ground to be asking that question!"
"You're so simpleminded… that was not what my question was about. I've seen people like him before, those with the middle initial of D. They always continue to fight on even though all odds are stacked against them. I'm simply curious that's all."
"D.? You mean Luffy's middle name? Yeah I have no idea what I means, I've assumed it might stand for Desmond or something but that'd be pretty stupid."
"I expected nothing more…" Miss All-Sunday lightly jabbed "Though, that would explain your presence here, it seems that hasn't changed."
"Ok, now you're making no sense again. What do I have to do with all this?" Gian rasped.
"Ever since the age where Kaiju once roam the world freely, they only lowered their heads to those who display undeniable strength. Those who are fit to be rulers, kings, and leaders. Long after that age, those who have eaten the Kaiju-Zoans still follow in the footsteps of those with the potential power. I won't deny that Monkey D. Luffy is strong in his own way, but he will have to keep going if it wishes to develop further."
"Ok…. I guess that explains why the maniac is with Crocodile, but why tell me all of this?"
"Because out of those people, those with the middle initial of D. always have, in one way or another come into contact with Kaiju-Zoan users." Her gaze lowered a bit at that, as if some past experience made her understand this "I've seen it happen myself."
"Great, so Luffy and I are connected by fate. That still doesn't mean I have an answer for your question." Gian snarked at that "Considering you're technically our enemy, the whole fact you're telling us this in the first place is perplexing."
"I've always been curious about many things, you can say it's done more harm than good even." Miss All-Sunday sighed "Regardless, the events that you will one day play in are things you have to meet alone. Monkey D. Luffy and your friends can only help you so much."
"Now you're talking nonsense again, what does-?"
"I must take my leave now, but if you survive this ordeal, perhaps we'll meet again." And once again, the same mysterious smirk as she mounted a large crocodile similar to the ones they saw back at Rain Dinners, except this one is less bulky and shaped more like a racecar. It was also at this time that another newcomer arrived at the scene. The moment he spotted Miss All-Sunday he drew his sword and prepared to attack.
"You should probably get those two treated, they are the ones responsible for the return of your princess after all." And just like that, Miss All-Sunday rode off into the distance.
"Wait! You didn't answer my… question… What is with that woman?!" Gian snapped. All that talk, and he's still nowhere close to understanding whatever she meant. He could do nothing except sigh and rub his now newly healed arm. Although it had returned to what it looked like before, it was still raw and pink due to all the newly grown nerves.
"If you two really are the ones that helped Vivi-sama return to this country, then I give you my most sincere of gratitude." The man bowed. He was dressed in simple white robes with purple face paint covering his face. "My name is Pell, I am one of Alabasta's Royal Guards. Let me patch you two up."
Upon saying this, Pell reached into his pocket and pulled out a small vial of water. He sprinkled a bit of it onto Gian's dried up legs, and just like that they returned to normal as if they never shriveled up in the first place.
"Water brings an end to the droughts of the desert, though with Crocodile at the helm, the droughts are unending." Pell explained sadly.
"Yeah, that's what we're trying to stop… Hey Luffy, we've got company time to wake up."
A few pats to the head and Luffy sprung up with a cry of "MEAT!" as if he never sustained any injuries in the first place.
"Yeah… he'll be fine. You might want to feed him though." Gian sweatdropped. Pell only smiled and pulled out a few rations, which the boy gulped down ravenously as he was being bandaged up.
"Damn that Crocodile! I can't believe he beat me so easily and I couldn't even hit him!" Luffy grunted "When I see him again, I'm totally kicking his ass!" he suddenly perked up "Oh right! I think I remember that my hand was wet for some reason and I was able to grab him! Maybe I'll need water!"
"Now you're thinking with your head Luffy!" Gian grinned "If only Mr. 0.5 is as simple as that. He's more adapted to his powers, and has more experience fighting with it than I do." His fist tightened "But that's only if he is able to burrow! If I can somehow stop him from reaching the ground I should be able to figure out a way to beat him!"
"To think the two of you are able to stand up to Crocodile and his subordinates, it makes me hopeful." Pell said "I fought them myself earlier, but I was rather easily defeated. If you are that strong, then I will help you reach Alubarna in time!"
"That's the thing, how are we supposed to get there without them getting there first?" Gian pointed out.
"You can leave that to me." Immediately Pell's body began to sprout feathers, until he became the shape of a massive hawk.
"I ate the Tori Tori no Mi: Model Falcon. I will give the two of you a lift."
"I don't know, I'm kind of heavy…"
"We do not have time to be concerned with that! We have to get to Alubarna!" Pell stated. Gian shrugged and, after Luffy went to get a barrel of water, Pell took off to the skies with them on his back.
They only hope they could be there in time.
Meanwhile:
Outside the capital Alubarna, a group of people are eagerly awaiting the chaos that's about to come. Of these, Mr. 1 and Miss Doublefinger are smirking confidently. Their plan was an absolute success; their sabotage of the weapons ship near the rebel base in Nanohana had push the rebel army over the edge. Soon, Kohza and the rest of them would be entering the city and the king would be forced to answer. They suppose they should also thank Mr. 2 for the part he played; masquerading as the King was an invaluable part of the plan.
Mr. 1's Den Den Mushi suddenly rang, causing the assassin to pick it up. After a while he responded
"Understood."
Hanging up, he turned to the other agents "Boss just called, Nefeltari Vivi is en route to Alubarna. We will stop her before she even reaches here."
"That should be easy. We know what to expect, and even if those pirates show up we'll take care of them." His partner sneered.
And so, they waited. And just like they expected, a group of riders were approaching fast towards the city. The group of agents grinned as they waited to pounce…
Only for the riders to rush past them before they could do anything.
"WAITWHOWERETHOSERIDERSWEJUSTSAW-BA?!" the mole like Miss Merry Christmas yelped as the agents stared aghast at what just unfolded.
"They were wearing cloaks… and none of them were the princess!" Mr. 2 gawked.
"What are you fools waiting for?! Go after them!" Mr. 1 snapped.
"Those ducks are the fastest creatures in this country… they can outrun us easily. We'll need to separate and take them out one by one." Miss Doublefinger suggested.
Indeed, that was the plan, as they dashed off to apprehend these newcomers.
All this was done while, unbeknownst to them, the real princess was hiding just a few feet away, waiting for the chance to break for it.
"Alright, Carue. Mr. Bushido and the others have set a distraction for us, let's not waste this chance!" Vivi told her animal companion, who quacked in agreement. She nodded before looking back with a hint of worry.
"I hope Luffy-san and Gian-san will make it here soon, we will need their strength to help us… but right now let's focus on getting to father!"
She was just about to leave, when the thundering sound of hooves and feet can be heard. She turned around and saw with wide eyes that the original reason of her return had arrived; the Rebel army had rode in in all their glory.
"Wait! Please! This is all a big misunderstanding! Crocodile is the real enemy!" She tried to yell. However, her voice is easily drowned out by the hundreds of people, and even if it weren't the dust that obscured the area had prevented any of them from seeing her.
She was just despairing over what to do when a familiar voice called out to her. She turned and saw with relief that Usopp had reached her.
"Vivi! It's kind of getting rowdy here. The others have led the agents to elsewhere. It should be safe to enter the city!" the sniper smiled and reached out to her. Vivi was just about to take his hand, until she realized something was amiss.
"Usopp-san… where is your wristband?"
"Wristband? What are you talking about? I might have dropped it earlier, but we need to go now!"
"No… you aren't Usopp-san! Carue we have to run, they found us!" Vivi cried as the duck immediately carried her and dashed off as fast as he could. 'Usopp' scowled upon seeing this, before wiping his face away to reveal none other than the mimicking Mr. 2.
"Curses, who would've guessed that they have found a way around my Mane Mane no Mi? Well at least I took out the long nose, but now I must apprehend the princess!" following that, the okama immediately began hot pursuit after the princess. And it looked like as if he would've caught her too, if not for the intervention of a certain cook. Sanji blocked the okama's way daring him to make another move.
"Vivi-chan, hurry to the castle!"
Vivi nodded gratefully before riding off. Mr. 2 scowled when he saw that.
"You! Who are you supposed to be? I don't remember seeing you with the Straw Hats!"
"All you need to know, is that I'm not letting you lay a finger on Vivi-chan!"
"So you're looking for a fight? Well, then you don't know what you're getting into!" Mr. 2 sneered as he got into a pose. Sanji frown before raising one of his legs, preparing to fight.
Meanwhile:
"Who the hell are you two supposed to be?!" Miss Doublefinger snapped as the two hooded figures they intercepted revealed themselves. Only now did they realize they've been duped in a wild goose chase, as Zoro and Nami seemed to be pleased at leading them away.
"It does not matter, they have made our job much more difficult and now must be taken care of. From the looks of it, the girl is a much weaker fighter. We will take her out first!" Mr. 1 growled before lunging forward, left arm raised. However before he could reach her, his arm was met with the clang of steel as Zoro parried his strike with Sandai Kitetsu. The swordsman himself was rather alarmed to see his blade not draw any blood.
"You have good reflexes, this should be fun. In case you were wondering, I ate the Supa-Supa no Mi, and became a Steel Human." Mr. 1 explained as his left arm gleamed as it transformed into a metal edged blade. He narrowed his eyes upon watching Zoro more closely.
"Now I recognize you. You are Roronoa Zoro, a swordsman from East Blue, who along with 'Beast Warrior' humiliated 100 agents back at Whiskey Peak. A few years ago you were given the invitation to become the next Mr. 7, but you killed the messenger that told you that."
"Heh, I told him I wanted to be the boss, he didn't like it so what choice did I have?" Zoro grinned as he drew Yubashiri "Are you a swordsman yourself? Then you will be a test for me!"
"Swordsman? What an unruly term." Mr. 1 scoffed "But if you insist on labeling me that, then yes, I am familiar in the ways of your profession. Be warned though, this will be the last fight you will ever encounter." Both of his arms turned to blades after saying that "Miss Doublefinger, I'll leave the girl to you."
"Perfect, I think I'll have plenty of fun with you!" his partner grinned before lunging at Nami, who yelped before running off, the assassin giving chase. As she was running, Nami reached into her dress and pulled out a blue baton shaped weapon. She nodded before clenching her fist down.
"Everybody else is fighting too, I'm not going to stand around and just do nothing! Let's just hope this so-called Clima-tact that Usopp made me actually has what it takes!"
Meanwhile:
"Hehe… Shoot the pet!" the rotund Mr. 4 giggled as he aimed his rocket launcher at the Jumping Point of Chopper. The reindeer wasn't exactly having the best time here.
"Why did Sanji had to leave me alone?!" Chopper yelped as he dodged another shot; the rocket launcher wasn't shooting rockets, but explosive baseballs for some reason. When he and Sanji were caught by Miss Merry Christmas and Mr. 4, they were originally going to actually hold their ground. However, when the cook realized something had happened to Usopp, he went off to deal with that, leaving Chopper to fend for himself.
"I have to get closer!" Chopper decided. Biting down on another Rumble Ball, he dropped to all fours where a new transformation took place. Looking similar to a regular deer, except this time his antlers have increased in size greatly. Chopper charged at Mr. 4, trying to catch him off guard. However, it was not to be as the ground underneath him suddenly revealed a mole like creature, which promptly grabbed his hind legs and causing him to trip.
"Youbetterslowdownthere, orelseyouwon'tseewhereyou'regoing-ba!" Miss Merry Christmas in her mole hybrid state cackled, flexing her claws. Chopper groaned before his eyes widened as Mr. 4 stepped up to him, holding a massive baseball bat. The fat man raised his arms and grinned, before preparing to bring it down on the reindeer's head.
"Kemuri Boshi!"
A sudden projectile suddenly popped in front of the assassin's face, causing the man to cough and swing wildly. Chopper took this time to transform back into Brain Point and roll out of the way, before looking up to see a defiant, albeit very bruised, Usopp panting as he lowered his slingshot.
"Don't worry… Chopper… I'm here to help!" the sniper gave a shaky grin.
"But you're hurt! Can you even fight like this?" Chopper was concerned.
"Heh…this is nothing… a flesh wound like this… won't stop Captain Usopp!" Usopp boasted painfully, before staring at the opposition and gulping slightly "I hope…"
"You made me blind…" Mr. 4 growled as he raised his bat, which made Usopp give a nervous cry as he realize just how large his opponent is.
"Wellthereseemstobeanothermeddlingbrathere! Let'skillhimaswell!" the mole lady also snickered. Usopp and Chopper could only brace themselves for what's to come.
Meanwhile:
"We made it, Carue! Now for the next part of our plan!" Vivi gave a relieved sigh as she raced up the palace. She finally made it through the doors to the top of the building, bursting through to the balcony.
"Vivi!" King Nefeltari Cobra called out "Thank the gods you are safe!"
"Father, we have to hurry! Crocodile could be here any minute! And the rebels are already marching within the city. I have a plan to stop the war!"
"What can we do? I want to go and talk to the rebels but the guards said it was too dangerous. Plus it doesn't look like they will listen!" the king answers.
"We will have to get their attention. Tell the Royal Guard that we need to blow up the palace!"
"Blow up the palace? Is that-?"
"It is an unfortunate sacrifice, but if it will prevent any conflict, then we must do it!" Vivi said with determination.
"I understand, I will-" King Cobra nodded, but before he could give out the order, a guard's pained scream suddenly sounded. Father and daughter looked up in horror to see that their guests have arrived.
"How disrespectful, you do not wish to see the end of my grand plan… one that I have been preparing for years," Crocodile sneered at them as he enters the door. Behind him, Miss All-Sunday uncrossed her arms as she entered wordlessly, a trail of soldiers slumped over.
"Crocodile!" Vivi's eyes widened in despair "Then that means-"
"Yes, those two supposed saviors of yours are now buried under the sand somewhere. They will not save you this time."
"Crocodile! How much further are you planning to take this?!" The King demanded.
"Kuhahaha… I think you know the answer to that yourself." The shichibukai's grin was terrifying "Of course, if you want to blow the palace up, then I can do that for you. A bomb has already been planted within the building that will destroy the palace entirely!"
"W-what are you even trying to achieve with this?!"
"Simple, I'm eliminating my targets and getting what I seek. Once the palace is gone, it should excavate enough of an area for me to find it."
"Find? What is there to take?!" King Cobra demanded.
"Such a simple mind, I'm looking for a treasure that is supposedly buried in the Alabastan Deserts. A treasure that will shake the world! I will obtain one of the 3 ancient weapons: Pluton!"
"P-Pluton?! You're insane! That's nothing more than a mere myth!" Cobra stammered.
"Is that so? Even in a place of True History like this, the weapon isn't here? Don't try that with me." Crocodile scoffed "Once I obtain Pluton, not even the World Government can stand against me!"
Meanwhile, at the bottom of the palace, that announcement has been heard by the remaining guards. Their eyes were wide as the real revelation of Crocodile's plan has been revealed.
"Pluton… is one of the 3 ancient weapons really buried under Alabasta?" One of the guards asked. The head guard growled, it was answer even he didn't know. Even in all his years as one of the Royal Guard, Chaka has never experienced this before.
"That isn't something to worry about right now, Vivi-sama is held captive by Crocodile, and we need to go get her!"
During this time, another figure has shown up to the palace. Deciding that the best way to end this without bloodshed, Kohza had arrived at the palace alone while the rest of the rebel army waited elsewhere. When he came to the palace in an attempt to get the king to surrender peacefully, he was subjected to the full truth. His eyes widened behind his sunglasses as he realized the real goal of Crocodile.
"Why, hello there Mr. Rebel Leader! Glad you can join us as well." Crocodile called out from the roof of the palace."
"What is the meaning of this Crocodile?! Are you saying that you've played us all for fools?!"
"That's right, half of you were actually gullible enough to believe every little action I did to turn you guys against the king! I must say, you've proven yourselves very useful for the whole time. I didn't even have to give any directions and you moved exactly where I wanted you to!"
"Kohza, do you see now?" Chaka said to the young rebel "Crocodile has played us all like a game of chess. Right now Vivi-sama is in danger, we have to get up there immediately!"
"The rest of the rebels are here, I need to explain the situation to them as well! I think they will believe both of us, let's go!" Kohza nodded and the two of them prepared to storm the palace.
"Trying to step in unneccesarily are you? I can't have you doing that." Crocodile sneered "That is, if you can even make it to the top…"
The ground underneath one of the Royal Guards suddenly collapsed, sending the man down words to his waist. He struggled to get out, before letting out a gurgled scream of agony as blood gushed out from the pit as he slumped over, his spirit leaving this world.
"What in the-?" Chaka's eyes widened as the ground erupted upwards. As the sand cleared, Mr. 0.5 stretched a bit, before wiping his bloodstained lips and grinning savagely at the group of soldiers.
"Where are you all going, my little morsels?"
"What… kind of monster are you?!" Chaka demanded.
"What kind do you think? I'm just following the rules of nature… You want to save that girl do you? I can't let that happen, not until after the show!"
"Step out of the way at once!" Chaka shouted and dashed forward with his sword drawn. Mr. 0.5 cackled as he swung one of his axes down, the two pieces of steel clanging hard. A group of guards rushed at him with their own weapons drawn, only for Mr. 0.5 to flip around, knocking all of them to the ground.
"You bastard… Kohza snarled as he drew his own sword, attempting a downward slash at the killer. Mr. 0.5 merely ducked before ramming his shoulder into the rebel leader, knocking him down to the ground.
"Don't be hasty, this man is something beyond what we are capable of! We'll need to attack together!" Chaka warned him as he and the rest of the guards all charged at them at once.
"Lambs to the slaughter, the bunch of you! Lava Pulse!" the same orange heat wave launched out of his mouth, forcing Chaka to jump out of the way. The guards were not as fortunate however, as the beam struck them directly, lighting them ablaze. As their agonized screams sounded, Mr. 0.5 leapt between them, cutting them all down. Stopping at the last one, he opened his mouth and bit down hard on the neck of one of the still burning guards, before ripping it out.
"Charbroiled… just how I like it."
"You… DO YOU HAVE ANY RESPECT FOR THE LIVES OF THOSE YOU KILL?!" Chaka roared in anger as another transformation took place. His body increased in muscle mass as he took on the form of a black jackal hybrid. Snarling, he rushed forward with another slash, as he crossed steel once more with the killer, actually matching his strength.
"Ohhh? Another Zoan user. It must be my lucky day… I always did want to try dog meat!" Chaka's eyes widened in horror as Mr. 0.5 underwent his Partial Transformation. The monstrosity in front of him didn't just change in appearance, his strength actually increased tenfold! Chaka felt himself being pushed back, before Mr. 0.5 slammed a claw down, raking it across his chest and sending him flying into a nearby building. He could vaguely hear Vivi's cry of worry while Crocodile's laughs rang across the sky.
"How… just by a simple change in form… the difference in strength between us became that far?!" He let out a pained breath as he attempted to help Kohza, who was now attacking the Kaiju-Zoan user the best he could. Despite his courage, the rebel leader was mainly on the defensive as Mr. 0.5 struck blow after blow.
"I can't fall here… his Majesty and Vivi-sama… still need me…" Grasping his sword in his mouth, Chaka attempted a dashing attack, moving faster than the eye can see, only for Mr. 0.5 to block the strike with the curved horn jutting out of his forehead. This did, however, give Kohza the opportunity to stab his blade into the side of the monster. Unfortunately this only served to further enrage the Kaiju-Zoan user, who promptly howled and swung an axe down, drawing a gash across his chest as he fell and grunted in pain as he witnessed Chaka getting thrown back.
Mr. 0.5 then howled as he struck both his claws into the dirt and began to burrow. Before Chaka could get another strike in, he had already disappeared into the ground. The guard's eyes darted around as he prepared anxiously for where he's going to emerge, only to realize too late who he was truly targeting.
"Desert Tunneling Drill!"
Kohza, barely getting up from the ground, has a mere fraction of a second to raise his sword in an attempt to block the tunneling skull bash that Mr. 0.5 provided as he launched out from beneath the ground like a missile. Even this was not enough, as the sword broke cleanly after a bit of struggling, resulted in Mr 0.5's horn getting impaled into the chest of the rebel leader, narrowly missing his heart. Kohza let out a choked cry as he was launched backwards, breaking through a stone building in the process and landing painfully. Try as he might, even he could not bear the injury sustained by such a savage attack, and he promptly slumped over, his strength beginning to fail.
"KOHZA!" Vivi cried from atop the roof, not realizing until it's too late that Crocodile has already picked her up by the neck and was walking towards the edge. Beside them, the King was restrained by multiple arms, held down as Miss All Sunday looked on impassively.
"Vivi-sama! LET HER- GURK!" Chaka shouted before feeling the teeth of the monster before him bite into his collarbone, causing him to let out a choked yell.
"I didn't hear you earlier… who did you say you were going to save?!" the Kaiju-Zoan eater sneered as he forced his jaws down harder. Chaka struggled to get a hand between the teeth in an attempt to dislodge the killer, but even in his jackal form it seemed impossible. "All you prey are the same… you speak like you even have a chance… but in the end you still fall to me!"
Atop the roof, Crocodile took in the sight with relish, mocking the princess as she struggled in vain in his grasp.
"You said you weren't going to let a single life be taken by me… but I've already done so." Crocodile mocked "Those pathetic ideals you hold… take it to your grave, that they themselves brought this country to ruin!" Vivi glared at the man in anger, enraged tears flowing down her eyes.
"Farewell Nefeltari Vivi, die with the rest of this country!" was the only words Crocodile uttered before flinging the princess off the roof. Vivi reached out one last time in vain as she screamed in terror.
Only for a hand to grab hers, as she felt herself be lifted. Her eyes snapped open to see someone whom she thought had perished, but will now fight once more.
"CROCODILE! I'M COMING FOR YOU!" Luffy shouted as the falcon-man continued to take him higher.
"Luffy-san!" she cried out in relief.
"What?! Impossible! How are you alive?!" Crocodile's eyes widened as he saw the boy he previously believe to be killed by him. He didn't get an answer however as Luffy dunked a fist into a barrel of water, before leaping off Pell and throwing a devastating punch, knocking the shichibukai back in a shower of sand.
Down below, Mr. 0.5 had also noticed the newcomer with surprise. This gave enough of an interruption to his attempts to rip out Chaka's throat.
"Strawhat?! He lives?!" his eyes widened "But if he's alive… then that means-"
"HEY! HAS ANYONE EVER TOLD YOU THAT YOU NEED TO CHANGE YOUR DIET?!" his eyes darted behind him, only for a leg alit with blue energy to slam into his head, sending him flying off his prey into a nearby building.
"Luffy-san… Gian-san… you're both okay… thank goodness…" Vivi shed some tears of relief as he saw both of them.
"Who… are you supposed to be…?" Chaka coughed out some blood as he looked upon his savior.
"Me? I'm no one special… I do, however… got a score to settle with him!" Blue fire washed over his body as Gian's own Partial Transformation emerged with a roar of defiance. Only now does Chaka realize that he existed within the realm of monsters. It was with good timing too, as with a howling roar of rage, Mr. 0.5 launched himself out of the hole, locking arms with Gian in a power struggle.
"You… I have no idea how you lived… but now I'm definitely devouring you!"
"Then come get some then… After all, this battle is only just beginning!"
A/N: Onward to 39! Onward to the battle! The second half of the Alabasta Arc has arrived! There isn't much out of the ordinary here, save for the fact that the little ending is a bit different. There is a bit of sequence differences here, so there's that.
But aside from that, the real monster battle is happening soon. I'll try to get the canon fights out of the way as fast as possible, as I'm sure the real thing people want to see will be two monsters duking it out! I'll tell you right now, there might be an entire chapter devoted to that! So keep your eyes open for that!
G: I'm getting tired of smiling so much!
Now responses to reviews!
To Kakusei:
G: I would never want to taste that again!
Oh suck it up, anyways, that's all coming very soon!
G: Soon!
To JayH120:
G: I'm cool like that.
Don't be a narcissist…
G: What? It's going to happen eventually anyway right? So might as well work my magic in somehow.
…And stop reading ahead!
To Vergil Leonidas:
G: You are cruel.
No, that actually was the best part…
G: That's what you get for building up to it so much.
Yes, yes it is. But as for the voice actor, that's kind of what I'm leaning for right now unless I find someone more fitting.
To anquan16:
If you're sick of starting over, stop giving up
G: Ahhh… classic
To Chance Green G King:
Right, you probably weren't here for that. All monsters used in this will have their most recent incarnation as their appearance, but will have all the powers they can use throughout the series. There are a few exceptions to this, as Godzilla is currently in how he appears in Final Wars. Shin Godzilla will not be what he looks like post-timeskip; that's actually going to be a different subplot altogether.
To pokemonking0924:
History is definitely involved! You'll see why much later.
G: We goin' in deep!
To CardboardHut:
Thank you! Glad you took an interest to this! And I'm glad to meet more Godzilla fans here, they can actually understand some of the references I make!
But yeah, many of the things you pointed out are definitely things I'm trying to fix. Sometimes I miss a few details and that's what comes out but overall I hope that I'm improving. I just want to say it's good to get some good constructive criticism on this, it tells me what people want to see!
So thank you for finding this!
To Starelight:
Yeah, the relationship should still be the same! There's going to be some funny situations between the two of them but overall that isn't changing! As for the whole arm things, that's going to work someway, but directly cutting an arm of is not one of them.
So yup! That's this chapter! We'll see you soon!
Leave a review and Gian will ride a dolphin!
G: Who am I, Jotaro?
