"Ah, thats right. Under the light of the full moon, you minks turn into Moon-Lion Berserkers called Sulongs. Wororororo!" Kaido remembered as the Minks prepared for battle.

"Master Kaido!" a voice rang out as a door behind the King of Beasts opened, and out came a large army of Gifters, backed up by a giant ogre monster and led by Jack.

"Jack!" Inuarashi growled.

"You samurai have really made a mess of things." Jack said. "It was our mistake that you got this far. But you'll never get this close to Kaido again!"

The Gifters roared in agreement as the Red Scabbards prepared to fight, only for Nekomamushi and Inuarashi to step forward.

"Stand back, you-gara guys." Nekomamushi said.

"Jack devastated Zou. That makes him our sworn enemy." Inuarashi explained. "He brought a thousand years of peace in our civilization to an end, despite our insistence that there was no one from Wano to be found in our land."

"I am the one they claimed was not there, Jack!" Raizo admitted.

"It was you…" Jack said.

"They saved my life by risking thiers, and I intend to repay them many times over!" the master ninja declared.

"You can try!" Jack challenged. "That damned elephant that carries Zou destroyed our fleet, killed our men, and shattered my mask! You'll pay for it all with your lives!"

The two mink Kings were set to strike, but the combined forces of the Musketeers and Guardians went in front.

"No you two, stand back for now." the gorilla mink BB assured.

"Save your strength for Kaido." bull mink Roddy added.

"You too, Inuarashi!" the captain of the Dogstorm Three Musketeers, Full-Power Shishilian said.

And so, locking eyes with the moon and surging with high voltage, the Minks serving under the kings of the day and night transformed into their Sulong forms one after another, roaring in challenge to the enemy forces in front of them.

"Not necessary." A female voice called in from behind, three powerful auras being sensed by this group as they turned to the source, revealing it to be Hop and Rinkah from before… with a new face leading them, a woman with a stoic expression, her eyes red and sparking with power, wearing what appeared to be a mesh of samurai garb in modern era style, showing her legs as well as being slightly open around her chest area. The aura around her seemed slightly corrupted… yet controlled at the same time.

"If saving energy is what you're after then back off. We can take this." Rinkah would say as she held her club over her shoulder.

"This is our fight too. Let's attack these pirates together." Shishilian said. "They decemated our homeland and we need to pay them back in kind."

"I respect your decision." The lead woman of the group said stoically. "But your assistance is not needed. Help if you want, I will advise you do not stand in our path of fighting."

"Don't you worry. The Sulong lifespan is short." Jack said.

"Go ahead and attack. We're animals too!" One of the Gifters said.

"Nagigigigi!" laughed a large giant in a tiger striped loincloth.

NUMBERS

#7: Nangi

"Hmph." The woman in the front said as her aura intensified.

(Cue - Devil Trigger - Devil May Cry 5 OST)

"The mission is clear. You must be obliterated. Gaze… into the Crimson Abyss." The woman coldly said as she drew her blade slowly, Rinkah and Hop also preparing their weapons.

The Crimson Abyss

Lucia

Flame Tribe Master

Rinkah

Lethal of Lethals Feline

Hop

Both sides roared as they charged at one another, Minks and Gifters colliding as electricity surged.

"I see…those three are in league with the red bladed cyborg that was spotted earlier." Jack said. "Don't be afraid to kill them. They're with the enemy."

"Kill us? Hah… hilarious." Lucia said as she saw a horde of Gifters… and in one slash, decimated them all. "You should be more worried about even touching me. Let alone go for a kill."

Rinkah smashed and bashed any Gifters who dared challenge her, even grabbing some by their necks and taking them down in a massive throw move to send them into a flaming explosion into their buddies, meanwhile Hop cleverly utilized her ki to extend her claw attacks and lethally take out any Gifter stupid enough to get in her range.

"Nagigigi!" Nangi laughed as he raised a club before a number of Minks charged at him and knocked him back.

"Keep up the good work. Make sure they do not get in our way." Nekomamushi said as the two mink leaders and the samurai stared down Kaido.

Lucia heard the words of Nekomamushi and looked towards Nangi. "New target acquired. Engaging." She emotionlessly said as she built energy in her blade before sending a power slash Nangi's way.

"Nagigi?" he said as the attack hit him dead on as he fell right onto his back.

"Pathetic. Knocked down after a singular blow." Lucia said, rather disappointed.

"Don't count that sucker out just yet. He's a warrior, I can tell from his style to his weapon of choice. Unintelligent as he may be, what he lacks in intellect… he'll make up for in just being that damn tough." Rinkah warned, and sure enough, one knockdown wasn't enough to keep down Nangi.

"Nagigigigi!" he laughed as he started swinging his club once more.

"A mindless, feral tank… Still as simple as they come." Lucia declared.

"Wha- You're out of your mind if you think you can outlast a warrior." Rinkah said. "Focus on the-"

"You focus on the weaklings. My target is clear." Lucia said, eyes narrowed as she darted in a red streak towards Nangi, landing a huge slash on his chest!

"She's holding her own against a Number." Jack said as he looked to the Minks. "Suppose I should finish what I started on Zou." he said as he entered his Mammoth form.

"Hn? Rinkah! Heads up! Look at Jack!" Hop exclaimed.

"Hm!?" Rinkah exclaimed as she looked towards him. "Shoot… he's joining the fight… that was not what Siege was looking for!"

"Well, this is our mess. Suppose we should clean up?" Hop asked.

"Even though it's Lucia's fau… ah, screw it!" Rinkah exclaimed. "Move in on him, Hop!" She yelled, as Hop and Rinkah moved to intercept Jack.

"Out of my way!" Jack said slamming the two into the ground with his trunk as he moved to attack the Minks.

However, he would suddenly feel his back leg grabbed, as Rinkah smirked before she exploded in fiery power, and chucked Jack far back from the Minks!

"Buddy, your fight ain't with them! IT'S WITH US!" Rinkah yelled as she cracked her neck. "Good. This might get entertaining."

"You call this entertaining!?" Hop exclaimed as she recovered from being flattened.

"Get a warrior spirit and you'll understand!" Rinkah smirked as she stared down at Jack.

"Fine…you two can join these Minks to an early grave." Jack said.

(BGM Cut)

Meanwhile back in the stadium….…

"They started fighting up there already?" Big Mom pondered.

"Looks like Jack went with them." Queen said.

"At least he had the decency to leave." King said.

"WHAT?!" Queen said in shock as King looked to see Shinobu trying to free Momonosuke.

"Oh no…" Shinobu said as King grabbed her.

"That was clumsy work!" King said as he threw her right into a tower.

""Oh no…hope she's okay." Ruby said.

It was then that the chains broke suddenly as something started to carry the boy.

"What the? He's flying now?" Shez said.

King however was not fooled as he flew after the boy before being kicked as appearing in the air was Sanji in his raid suit.

"Hey, it's Sanji!" Legolia said.

"Wasn't he chasing after women?" Nami pondered.

"Give back the boy! He must be eliminated!" King demanded.

"Shinobu!" Sanji called out as he tossed off Momonosuke. "And Momo…way to drop your name like a man!" he said giving a thumbs up.

"Nice job, Skirt Chaser." Hapi said.

King wasn't amused at all. He entered his full Pteranodon form and accelerated into Sanji, pushing him with incredible speed as he pressed his beak against his stomach.

"Hey! Watch it, bird freak. A hole in the stomach could kill someone!" Sanji said.

"A hole? Please. I'll split you in two! Let's see if you can disappear and reappear from that!" King said, sending him through a wall.

"Whoa, that looked like it hurt!" Michiru said. "Is he gonna be okay?"

"His raid suit is built to withstand heavy hits so…probably?" Miu said.

"Hmm…Yamato…you need to protect Momonosuke." Alphen said to the girl.

"Me? Well I suppose I must. He is my son." Yamato said.

"Man, you take being Oden way too literally." Hope said.

"Uh…Hope? Big problems. Emphasis on big!" Vashyron said as Big Mom came at the group.

"Here's what we'll do! We'll kill every last samurai and start this party over again!" Big Mom said. "The Wedding! The Tea Party! The Feast! You people have destroyed every thing I've looked forward to!" she then raised Napoleon up high for a strike.

"Uh oh… watch out!" Ty warned.

"Ikoku…Sovereignty!" she said swinging Napoleon as she blew open a massive hole that went right outside of the fortress.

"Whoa, you guys weren't kidding about Big Mom being this strong." Ace said.

"We did tell you." Jexi said.

"Nedris…" Baril said.

"Hey, let me handle this one." David said. "I should be able to match someone like her."

"Please save her." Natyal said. "Not only is she a skilled Samurai, but she is also a Devout."

"I can take it." David said as he drew his blade.

(Cue- Indra- Ar Tonelico II)

"Show to me the extent of your abilities." Nedris said.

"Demon Fang!" David said as he sent a shockwave towards Nedris.

"Enpi!" Nedris called, launching an energy wave in a single stroke.

"Whoa, careful now." David said as he dodged. "Ice Needles!" he said as icicles start falling on Nedris.

"Third Eye." Nedris said, slightly reducing the damage from the attack. "Hakaze!" she called, unsheathing her sword and dashing through before sheathing it.

"Sorry, but you're too slow." David said as he shatters in ice before reappearing in front of her. "Alphen, I'm borrowing your move! Rising Wyvern!" he said as he made an upward slash, sending himself and Nedris to the air.

"Impressive." Nedris said.

"Heh. You flatter me. My sword skills aren't really anything special." David said.

"Even so, you are one of the few to push me this far into a corner." Nedris said. "However, this has just begun. Higanbana!" she called dealing a three hit attack in the shape of red spider lily petals.

"Guess I gotta take it up a notch. Breath of Ice, First Form: Freezing Flower!" David said as he went for a single strike, leaving a trail of cherry blossom petals.

"A Breath User? I have not seen one in such a long time, not since…" Nedris said before shaking her head. "Yukikaze!" she called, dealing a single strike as snowflakes soon followed.

"Using ice against me? Big mistake." David said with a smirk. "Breath of Ice, Ninth Form: Arctic Claws!" he said as multiple blades sprouted from his wrists as he delivered a flurry of slashes.

"Very impressive." Nedris said, using her sword to sit up. "Tetragrammaton." she said as a green light washed over her as she now fully stood up. "This will not be our last encounter, I look forward to the next one." she said before the brand disappeared as she flash stepped away.

(Song end)

"And with that, she's gone." David said as his claws retracted.

"You alright, iceman?" Hapi asked.

"Yep. No major injuries." David said.

"That's good. You guys need to save as much energy as possible for the bigger guys." Claude said shooting an arrow and downing a flying Gifter.

"She said something about a Breath User." Kagane said, eyes closed in thought before launching a Zio spell at another gifter. "Best not to worry right now."

"Right. We should worry about what's in front of us and what some of us have to get to. Big Mom and Kaido respectively." Hope said.

"Shame you all will die here! Come, Zeus!" Big Mom said noticing her hand was empty. "Zeus?" she said before seeing Nami trying to run with Zeus. "Oh you little…!"

"Busted!" Nami realized.

"Nami, don't do this! She'll kill you!" Zeus said.

"Okay, buster. You need to decide. Me or her." Nami said.

"But I can't disobey Mama." Zeus said before he was taken from Nami's hands and grew into a large storm cloud.

"If you go easy on her, I'll make you disappear!" Big Mom said.

"I'm really sorry but you have to die now." Zeus said.

"What?!" Nami asked.

"Shoulda known that partnership wasn't gonna last long…" Connor said.

"Okay, now what?" Hisui asked.

"Now we think of something to save Nami from getting fried!" Ty said.

"I hate your guts! We'll never be friends again!" Nami cried in tears as she ran away.

"I threw away the clock. Cause I'm free in the wind~..." a voice sang out before breaking through the walls were Brook and Franky as Brook cut Zeus in two as Franky rode the bike across Big Mom's face before landing. "Cause I'm Franky the Freedom Rider!"

"What?!" the Beast Pirates reacted in shock.

"Hey metal man, I think you just ran over something back there." DW typed, behind Franky on the black rhino.

"It's okay, bro." Franky said, raising his sunglasses. "Long as it wasn't a flower."

"Big bro!" Nami cried in relief.

"Hey…you got a runny nose?" Franky said.

"They just ran over that woman with a motorcycle." Sentibug said. "She's gonna be furious once she gets up."

"Well, it's about time!" Constance said, looking to Dark Water. "What ever took you so long? The other leaders were present here long before you arrived!"

"Ask this guy, he was driving." DW typed, gesturing to Franky.

"Nice, I knew we could count on Franky. C'mon, Jexi! Let's head up to where Kin'emon is!" Luffy said.

"No…if we do that, Big Mom will…" Jexi said as they saw her slowly getting up as everyone could feel the angry aura in the air.

"You Straw Hats and heroes just keep popping up one after the other!" Big Mom said.

"Uh oh! Big Mom's gonna rampage!" a Beast pirate said.

"Run before this gets ugly!" a Almyran Wyvern Rider warned as any troops close to them cleared the area.

"I have to say, both groups have so many rare and fascinating creatures." Big Mom said, eyeing Franky.

"Like what you see, grandma? Name's Franky and I'm a SUPER cyborg." Franky said.

"Not paying any attention to me huh? Guess a half-vampire Octoling Bioweapon doesn't really catch all collectors' eyes." DW typed.

"You guys have to get out of there! She's an emperor!" Nami warned.

"Run away? But we just met each other!" DW typed.

"Now is not the time for jokes!" Ramona said.

"Come on…are you guys even trying? Do you guys wanna see Luffy become King of the Pirates or not?" Franky said as he prepared a beam. "Franky…Radical…" he said before they heard a crash as three large creatures broke in.

"Hey! This isn't your feast area!" one of the pirates said.

"It's the Numbers!" another said.

"Jakikikiki!" laughed the pink one and the shortest of the trio.

"Gokikikiki!" laughed the tallest of the trio.

"Jukikikiki!" laughed the most beast like.

NUMBERS

#4: Jaki

#5: Goki

#10: Juki

"Those giant freaks are the Numbers?!" Ty asked in shock.

"Oh…I remember these now. The ones Kaido bought from Punk Hazard. The failed attempts at making Ancient Giants. I like them." Big Mom said.

"I'm getting flashbacks from Thriller Bark…" Franky said. "They're almost Oars sized. Wait, what's the little one…" he said, seeing Jaki holding the Brachio Tank. "The Brachio Tank!"

"Chopper and Usopp are in there with some of the others." Ruby said.

"Looks like you all jumped the gun a bit!" A familiar voice sounded out as a figure dropped in, belonging to Siege as he had his hood over his face again. "You all need to tactical retreat. Go. I'll buy you some time!"

"No way. Our friends are in there. We are not leaving them." Ramona said.

"I'll get them out. Trust me." Siege said, looking at the Brachio Tank. "That tank is what needs to be saved, right?"

"If you can also take out the monster holding us captive, that would also be preferable!" G. Aqua communicated.

"Got it." Siege would say. "Just one, I can do that while still buying time. Now, as I said, GO! GET OUT OF HERE!"

"Running away now, in the middle of the raid? No way. Franky…Radical…Beam!" Franky said firing a beam to stun the giants.

"Mamamama! You sure that was your target, iron man?" Big Mom laughed as she stood there behind him before Jimbei grabbed her. "Huh?"

"Fishman Judo…Whirlpool Shoulder Throw!" he said, throwing her over his shoulder into some arms that moved her away.

"Mil Fleur…Delphineum!" Robin said.

"Damn you, Jimbei! You'll pay too, for all you did in the Mushroom Kingdom!" Big Mom called as she rolled away.

"Damnit…" Siege cursed as he looked to Jaki. "Okay, do what you came here to do…"

In a blitz of gold, Siege coursed through the air and landed on the other side of Jaki… As he cut off both Jaki's arms, causing the Brachio Tank to fall free!

"He just dismembered Jaki!" one of the pirates said as the giant fell back.

"Gimme a status report, commander Chopper." Franky said.

"Is everyone okay?" Caspar asked, rubbing his head.

"Seems like you're all good in there. Listen…it's docking time." Franky said.

Siege decided to make things a bit easier on the group as he pulled out something… a Spell Card.

"Declare Spell: Morale Sign: Divinity Boost!" Siege declared as golden bursts of energy spread to those of the Hero Alliance, bolstering all their stats greatly! "Listen, I've still got my own thing to do, but that should allow you all to fight on as you wish! Give 'em hell, we'll meet up again soon!" Siege declared.

"Copy that, Siege!" Mark responded with a salute. "Thanks for the boost!"

"Any time pal!" Siege exclaimed as he Instant Transmissioned away.

"Grrr…just one interference after another." Queen said before he saw Luffy and Zoro trying to go for the roof. "Oh no you don't!" he said going into his dinosaur form and biting down on the two of them. "You idiots aren't going anywhere."

As Luffy and Zoro struggled to escape Queen's jaws, King appeared with a bunch of flying Gifters.

"Guess flying ups outta the picture." Betty said as Queen spat Luffy and Zoro straight back towards the ground.

"Ugh…it annoys me how sturdy this suit is." Sanji said as he got out of the rubble.

The Brachio Tank and Black Rhino worked on morphing together as the crew inside the tank was spat out.

"It's a shame there's only one seat, but it's so cool!" the guys who were in it said in excitement.

"Boys…" Megumin groaned.

"SUPER General Franky, reporting for action!" Franky declared from inside the BF-38.

"Whoa! So cool!" many of the samurai and men said.

"We've got enemies on all sides, but yet…I cannot imagine us losing." Hyogoro said.

The Straw Hats and the other groups stood all around looking epic.

"Okay…one more time. I'm going to take out Kaido! You guys can handle the rest! Watch my back!" Luffy said.
