The stairs seemed to twist further and further down as Blueno and Moira descended the staircases. They were both on edge the entire time, expecting one of Cannibal's crewmates to jump out of nowhere. They didn't seem like the ones who would resort to such a thing but they've been surprised before. "Which one of them do you think we'll find first", Moira asked.

"I managed to fight the strongest of the straw hats by luck, so maybe I'll draw out Cannibal. Then again, I feel like he's aiming for the strongest of us, which is... arguably Lucci. I think Borya could give him a run for his money if he actually had the killing instinct. Honestly, I feel that's kind of holding most of you back.

"We cant help not being raised to kill, Blueno.", Moira replied as she continued to scout out the surroundings.

"I know. I'm not saying its necessarily a bad thing but... against gruesome enemies like this..."

"I understand. But as long as I'm willing to fight to win I don't too much see it as a disadvantage. Besides, we non ex government workers have something else that helps us go that extra mile. "You've already seen it yourselves."

"Thats part of your charm I guess", Blueno replied as he chuckled.

"Awwwww, how sweet! Jajajajajaja", a voice said. "You goons make me sick!"

"Doesn't sound like anyone I know. So I can only assume that was one of the minions", Moira said. They both managed to stop right at the bottom of the stairs. "Dont bother hiding! Come on out and take your lumps!"

"Where's the fun in that? It would be more fun to torture you first!" Right then and there, Bonehead appeared from the shadows. There wasn't much else around to look at with it being so dark...but his colorful tie stood out like a sore thumb.

After getting a good look at Bonehead again, he remembered HOW they ended up finding Cannibal's
ship in the first place. "Oh, it's YOU. You're the one kidnapped our friends, aren't you? You're going to regret that."

"Jajajajajaaja! You'd better have the strength to back that up! Otherwise, you're both going to die! Now come on, let's have some fun!" Suddenly all the light turned on! While bonehead was nowhere to be found after that, there were four different doors around. Each door had a different color. Red, blue, green, and black.

"What the hell is this some sort of funhouse?" We don't have time for games!"

"Booooo, don't be such a buzzkill. Live a little before you die! Jajajajajaja!" His voice echoed from what they could tell, was a snail transponder

Blueno shook his head a sighed. "I take it he won't come out of hiding until we've played along. Fine by me. We'll just have to hunt HIM down then."

"Thats the spirit! I call these, the four doors of fear. Behind each door is a room, as you would expect. Each room has a...surprise in it. I am in a room as well, and we'll fight when and if you can fine me.

"If", Moira asked.

"Thats right, IF! Now good luck! Jajajajajaja!" And just like that, he was gone.

"This is just some sort of game to them. I'm going to kick his ass when we find him', Moira said. "Now which door should we start with. I'm certain they're all traps."

"As certain as I'm sure your dad's probably drunk right now." Blueno tried to use his Haki to see behind the doors, but he couldn't feel any human presence behind them." I don't see him. Is it possible he's hiding his aura?"

"I don't sense him either. We have no choice but to just try the doors. Perhaps the blue one first", she asked.

"I don't see why not. Brace yourself for anything, just in case", Blueno said. He placed his hand on the door handle and twisted the nob. He swung the door open...and he and Moira were greeted by a rush of WATER! It poured out uncontrollably, as if they had just opened a door underwater!

"Blueno! Close it! Cose it", Moira shouted. It was a choked shout, since every time she opened her mouth water would pour it. It wasn't salty, so it must not have been sea water. Still, better not to ingest it just in case.

Blueno quickly pushed the door closed, cutting off the flow of water. "Well, that wasn't the right door. Now I'm just wet and annoyed. Let's try another one." Moira reached for the handle on the red door next to it, before her wrist was grabbed by Blueno's hand.

"Hold it! Now...notice how the blue door had water coming out of it. Now this is just a THEORY but..."

"I see. You think that maybe we might get a hot surprise if we open this one", moira asked as pointed towards the red door.

"Just in case, I advise we stand clear when I open the door." Blueno moved in front of Moira, opened the door, and quickly stepped to the left. As soon as he did, a burst of flame popped out if the room! Had they been in front of it they probably would have been barbequed. "Well, that was bad...I almost got fired again."

"Aha! Raymond and Gurin DID rub off on you!"

"Yeah, don't remind me. That was a fun little trick, Bonehead!"

"Awwwww! I was hoping that would have been the death of you. But I suppose if you had opened that one before the blue door it probably wouldn't have been too bad. Jajajajajajaja!"

"Well that just means we have to stand away from the doors when we open them... You'll have to come out sometime", Moira said.

"I predicted you'd think of that...just remember, I am behind a door. You don't pay attention and you might get huuuuurt! Jajajaja!"

"What a pain in the ass! Ok Blueno, let's get these other two doors over with. We have a green door and a black door left. I assume the green door has something to do with...eh...I don't know."

"It could be anything... remember to stay back when I open the door", Blueno said as he opened the green door. Like when they opened the last door, they both stepped to the side as soon as it swung open. They both expected something to come out of the door again...but there was nothing. No fire, no water, not even a sound! "Huh?"

"Blueno, what's going on? Nothings happ...", the second she said that there was a huge explosion from the seemingly empty room. It was big enough to blast both of them across the room, and the door with them!

"What the hell was that!? Explosive warfare", Moira shouted!

"Jajajajajajajaja! That's what you get for assuming!"

Blueno got up and shook his head. He was noticeably angry. "Stop hiding and come out and fight us! We don't have time for this!"

"PARTY POOPER! There's only one more door anyways...I just might be behind it you know..."

"I'm starting to have my doubts", moira said. Being the annoying trickster you are, I feel as though this is a... TRICK!" She yelled and created a small shockwave, which forced the door open and travelled through the hall of the door. The second the door disintegrated; something began to waft from the door...it smelled like gas. "What the...that's not...", she began to say before she began to feel dizzy. She was beginning to wobble, when Blueno caught her.

Feeling dizzy himself, he clumsily pulled Moira into an air door. The second they entered; he actually fell over! He felt somewhat sleepy for a second. "It must have been some kind of sleeping gas. Probably even worse."

"Sorry...I shouldn't have blown down that door. Now that damn gas is gonna flood this floor... probably the whole ship!"
"Don't apologize. If anything, you might have saved us. Just a whiff of that stuff made us nearly pass out. Had we walked in there we probably wouldn't have walked back out. The issue now is that we can't go back out there. I believe he rigged this game from the start."

"Jajajajaja! Now that you flooded the room with gas, why don't you open the fire door again? I don't mind if you're well done, first!"

"Piece of shit! You won't beat Moira the... gust! Blueno I just got an idea, but..."

"I think I know what you're going to suggest. Frankly I don't mind, considering its our best course of action right now, outside of retreating. The other problem remaining is that he won't come out of hiding."

"I did notice something interesting Blueno...he said he was in a room. Is it at all possible that he's tricking us in some way?"

"It wouldn't surprise me...and I think I know how to find out", Blueno said as he began to maneuver around inside the air door. He managed to look behind all the doors. Behind the red door was some sort of gun like cannon that continuously blew fire out of its nostril. The door must have been fire proof. The Blue door had a similar cannon that the ed door had, except for this one continuously spewed water. The spot where the green door was had nothing but smoke, and some kind of metal machine that was in pieces. Most likely the object that exploded when they opened the door. Then behind the black door was nothing. OR that's what it seemed like since they couldn't see the gas. He couldn't see any person behind any of the doors. "I see! So, this really all WAS just fun and games." He zoomed back over to Moira.

"Did you see anything?"

"No, he's not even on this floor anymore. He must have snuck off the second he vanished. But perhaps he's still somewhere nearby?"

"After we take care of this gas issue, we could probably detect him if we sharpen our focus. Ok, I'm going to need you to take a deep breath, and get ready to act. Ok?"

"Affirmative! All I have to do is hold this note for a few seconds. On the mark of three!" Blueno took a deep breath along with Moira, then held three fingers up. He stared Moira in the eye to make sure she was watching. Three...two...one! He quickly opened the entrance to the air door, and braced for impact!

"SEAGULL SHOOOOOOOUUUUUUUT!" A huge burst of wind erupted around the makeshift room. The impact of the sound knocked Blueno out of the air door, but also sent a gust of wind with him. The wind was to act as a force to disperse the gas until Blueno could get the door closed.

"Just...have...to...close the door", Blueno said as he dug his fingers into the hull. The wind was still trying to force him down the hall...and he only had one shot to close the door otherwise he'd be flung into a fatal gas room. The second he let go of the ground, he reached out for the handle and swung the door closed. He still had his breath held just as a precaution.

"Blueno, you did it! Are you ok?"

Blueno exhaled and began breathing again. "Yeah, I'm fine. Now let's find that snake!"

"I'm a hyena! Thank you very much! Jajajajajajaja! Get on with the show!"

"Alright that's it...", moira said. Her face grew irritated and she looked upwards. "GET OUT HEEEEEEERE!" Her voice made a shockwave that crumbled the entire floor above them...and that's when the last thing they expected to happen happened. Bonehead fell from the sky! "You were hiding between the floors!? You BASTARD!"

Bonehead landed on the ground right in front of the two. "Um...hehehe? Surprise? I technically WAS behind a door, just on the above floor. Sorry to 'DROP' in unexpectantly."

"Let's stomp his head in", Blueno said.

"I agree, lets splat him!"

"Now now now, you don't want me to LOSE MY HEAD! Jaaaaaaaaajajajajajaja!"

Like an acute blow to the skull, Blueno and Moira got intense headaches. This was thanks to Bonehead's ability to somehow cause them when he wanted to.

"AAAAHHH that's not normal", Moira said as she covered her ears. It did little to ease the pain. Like a thousand needles poking her skull at once! Or a thousand Fukurou's all chatting at once. It probably had the same effect.

Blueno held on to his forehead. The obnoxious laugh probably would have given him a headache even without the weird power. Before he knew it, Bonehead was now standing in front of them in hyena human form. His muzzle was twisted into a cocky smile. "What's the matter? Don't like my head games? Hook Pistol!" Bonehead jabbed Blueno through the chest! He didn't just stop with a stab; he bent his finger downwards and pulled! "Just as good as a hamburger", Bonehead said as he licked his finger.

"Ugh! Sickening!" Blueno held the injury on his chest. It bled a little bit more profusely compared to a regular finger pistol since the hole was bigger. He was almost sure he ripped off a small piece of flesh as well.

Moira prepared herself, and tackled Bonehead head on! "We're going to take you down for putting us through this nonsense!"

"Dont you two have a sense of humor? Honestly! Nice hustle though! Jajajajaajaj!"

Moira growled and stared Bonehead right into his eyes. Stop... LAUGHING!" At point blank range, she released another shockwave directly into his face. Not only did it shove his head down through the floor, but it also took out the part of the floor behind him. Is she had widened her blast she would have sent both she and him through the floor! She was expecting the attack to decapitate him...or even knock him out. But He raised his head with nothing more than a dizzy composure and a bloody nose. "How are you still standing!?"

"That was a mouthful, huh? That actually hurt! You're a feisty one but I heard you loud and clear. You want me to stop joking... then... I'll STOP joking!" The second he said it, his eyes flashed red again. He easily flipped her over! This time her had her pinned. Even though she fought back with all her strength, she couldn't budge from his grip. In fact, all his clawed fingers on his right hand dug into her arm at once.

"OW! Ah! L-let go of me you fuzzy bastard!"

"I'm going to crunch your head like a grape!" He opened his jaws and dove straight for her head! He expected to split her head in half, but his attack was intercepted by her haki coated arm! The force of his bite still broke through, and he bit right into her arm!

Blueno snapped to it once he heard Moira in pain. He rushed over and grabbed Bonehead's muzzle and tried pry it open. "Let GO of her!" Using a hefty amount of strength, he managed to open Bonehead's mouth enough for Moira to slide her arm out. Blueno tried to dig his own fingers into Bonehead's snout!

While Blueno's fingers did puncture, it seems they didn't have too much effect in deterring him. It only made him grab onto Blueno's neck! "It doesn't matter how many of you there are! We were tasked with killing you, and I'm going to make sure you die as painfully as possible!" Bonehead kept pushing down until Blueno was on his back. It seemed like no matter how hard he gripped Bonehead's hands; he just couldn't get him to let go! Moira ran up and prepared another Bluebird kiss attack... but before she could even shout, Bonehead grabbed her neck with his left hand! "And what do YOU think you're doing?" His grip tightened around her neck. She was barely even able to breath, let alone use her devil fruit ability.

"Moira!" Blueno gripped Bonehead's wrist in an attempt to snap it. He applied all of his strength and managed to SNAP Bonehead's wrist!

"AAACK! Fine...but just so you know this is YOUR fault", he said as he looked down at Blueno! Bonehead slung moira to his right...and then he THREW her towards the wall! She didn't just crash into the wall, she crashed THROUGH it! He had thrown Moira out of the Bloodbath! "Have a nice flight, bluebird!"

"Moira! She'll drown", Blueno said as he slipped from under Bonehead. He was going to run over to retrieve Moira before she fell into the water, but his efforts were thwarted by Bonehead grabbing his leg. Out of the corner of his eye...he did see someone outside floating in the air! Was that...

"Keep your focus one me! Your ally is already dead meat, and you'll be joining her soon!"

Outside the Blood Bath, Moira kept herself from falling into the ocean with the moon walk technique. She managed to keep conscious, but she had a sudden realization. "We can't beat him with pure strength alone. We need something to...", then she remembered! Something her father had told her. Something she had seen for herself on one or two occasions. The skydancers secret weapon! She can utilize THAT if she timed it correct! "Alright dad! I haven't done this myself yet, but I've seen you do it! I just hope it works!" She hopped over towards the SkyDancer which was anchored only a few yards away from Cannibal's battleship! Right there at the wheel, was a lever. It looked like it's been used a few times, but only BEFORE they got it. Perhaps her father used this more than she remembered. "If something happens to the Skydancer...please forgive me dad!" She pulled the lever, and took control of the wheel. "Setting coordinates!" The ship stopped after she pointed it straight towards the hole she was thrown out of. "Blueno...I only need you to get him into position!"

From where he was lying, Blueno could see the ship turning. "What in the world are you doing, Moira? Wait! Are you..." As an instinct he quickly rolled to the left to avoid a slam attack from Bonehead! "You won't get me with THAT!"

"Then I'll get you with this!" Bonehead raised both of his fingers and tried to slam then down on Blueno for a double finger pistol attack.

"WRIST REVOLVING!" Blueno reached up and quickly slapped both of Bonehead's wrists...and they began to rotate like a revolving door!

"What is this!? What did you do to me!?" He stared down at his wrists in an attempt to understand what was happening. "Oh yeah, your damn devil fruit! At least my hands didn't fall off. Atill pretty useless though!"

"Says you!" Blueno did the same thing with Bonehead's torso, causing his whole upper body to spin around.

"Hey, enough with this spinning crap!"

"Moira, I'll keep him distracted! Whatever you plan on doing it's got to be soon!"

"Ok! I've aimed...and now to coat the beak!" She hopped over to beak protruding out of the front of the ship and placed her hands on it. After lining it in Haki, the beak turned a dark black color. If there were ever a time to be able to see into the future, it would be now!" She stared at the BloodBath and tried to focus.

"Anything else you want me to warp?"

"I don't know... maybe I should see if I can spin your head around. It won't be with a devil fruit but it should have the desired effect!" Jaaaaaahahahahah!" There was that headache inducing laugh again! It would be enough to make ANYONE hunch over in agony. In fact, he was almost sure its power was to force one to lose focus. "Storm leg!" Bonehead made an air slice that knocked Blueno into the wall behind him! "You can't beat me, Blueno! Lie down and die! It will be less painful!"

"Is that what you're expecting us to do? As strange as it is for me to say something like this... you and the rest of your crew are all full of shit! I know this because I was just like you at one point. I thought I was invincible. I thought no one could beat any of cp9...but then the strawhats happened and proved otherwise. It's weird how such a crushing defeat could also serve as a learning experience. You may be the pinnacle of the world government, but you're also the pinnacle of cockiness. But I suppose that will make it all the more satisfying when you eventually lose."

"When? Are you implying you're going to win by yourself?"

"No. WE'RE going to beat you!" Blueno opened an air door and hopped inside. He quickly maneuvered over towards the opening hole, and peeked out. He could see Moira stationed at the edge of the ship. She stared back at him with an even more serious than normal facial expression. Then she nodded. "He stared her directly in the eye and nodded back, before returning to the air dimension.

"Hiding isn't going to get you anywhere! Or are you retreating?"

"Never! I already told you what's going to happen." Blueno hopped out of the air door, but then went into another. Then he hopped out of that one and into another... then another... then another! "As long as I keep him at bay, she can..."

Moira hopped back onto the hull, but then dashed all the way towards the back of the ship. Please, please, PLEASE let me time this correctly! This is gonna take every ounce of wind I can manage." She made it towards the back of the ship and took in a huge breath! She tried to suck up so much air at once it nearly hurt her lungs. The Sky Dancer was a huge and heavy ship, so she would need to be able to move it in ONE attack. She then began to concentrate her Haki on the Blood Bath.

"Fine! If you won't come out and fight, I'll come in after you!" Bonehead prepared to follow Blueno into the next air door, but his route was cut off by Blueno closing the door. "Damn you play dirty!"

"Alright, she's in place! Now I just have to...", the second he hopped out into the open again, he exposed his location.

"HOPPING mad, are you? Jaaaaaahahahahaha!" Once again that demented laugh caught Blueno off guard. Not only did it stop him concentrating on the air door, but it caused him to fall down to the ground! Right in front of the hole. "Now I got you!" Bonehead hopped into the air.

"Iron body! BLueno managed to harden his body just in time, before his enemy slammed his foot down onto him. It nearly pushed Blueno through the floor. "Guh! Ack"

"Alright! No more games! We're gonna wrap this up all nice and messy like!" Bonehead hardened his claw and raised it high over his head.

"I couldn't agree more!" Blueno touched Bonehead's foot, and caused it to spin on his ankle.

"Stop ….arg... doing that", Bonehead said between a snarl. "There's no point!"

"Oh, there's a POINT alright!" Blueno quickly rolled to his right side.

Moira was able to see the commotion...and it was now or never! "BELLBIRD BOOOOOOOOOM!" With the force of a hurricane", she shot the strongest gust she could manage out into the water. It was strong enough to push the ship, making it fly off like a rocket! It flew with such speed, that she was thrown onto the railing at the end of the ship. The SkyDancer headed straight for the Rival ship!

"Huh? What was...That was all the time he had to speak...before he was impaled right in the chest by the nose of The SkyDancer. The entire boat rocked! Blueno was thrown to the other side...and the whole had grown even bigger. The entire right side of the Bloodbath had pretty much been obliterated...yet it still remained floating.

"What the hell is this thing made of", Blueno thought to himself. Wait! Moira! Are you ok", Blueno quickly asked as he stood up. He saw Bonehead...stuck to the beak of the SkyDancer. It had managed to go all the way through his body...leaving him dangling at the end of it once he transformed back to human form. "Holy moly...she actually did it."

"Point...'POINT'...he...hehehe...I get it now...not bad...not bad at all", Bonehead said as he stared down at the ground, which seemed to wear a pool of his blood. His voice was weak, and seemed to trail off...eventually...he stopped moving.

"A jokester even until the end. Moira!" Blueno hoped onto their ship and sprinted over towards the back of it. There laid Moira! She wasn't moving but her eyes were wide open. Moira can you hear me?!" There was no verbal response other than a nod. "Are you ok?" Again, no verbal response, other than her raising her hand and waving it around to make a So-So response. "Lost your voice", Blueno asked. She responded with a thumbs up. Blueno sighed, and sat down next to her. "Well, you're definitely nuts, I'll give you that...but that's the second time you've saved me. I just hope the others are ok after your little surprise", Blueno said before smiling. Moira simply raised a triumphant fist!
