Inside one of the Parlors in the castle, Zenos and Tormal were together.
"Even though Jexi the Hunter and one of his co-leaders, Monkey D. Luffy, were defeated, their allies still press on." Zenos stated.
"It's to be expected." Tormal said, staring at a young woman strapped to the wall with her head down. "Not much has changed in this reality either."
"As it was, the forces were 24,000 to 3,000." Zenos observed. "And even still…it would seem the tide of battle is turning against us. Due to the words of that fool Queen, the Waiters and Pleasures on the Performance Floor have turned against us, adding 4,000 to the Anti-Kaido Force's original total. Now the difference is 20,000 to 7,000. With that surprising shift, there's no telling how the battle will go from here. Perhaps it would be wise to begin taking our leave of this place."
"Perhaps. Though I shall leave them a parting gift." Tormal said as he raised the girl's head up as she had a long scar across her face. "Though let's not leave just yet. Both our forces are still in the middle of battle."
"Of course. Sentibug is in the middle of combat with that gunman, Verde has been painfully disarmed, and Shez is still on the hunt for the Ashen Demon." Zenos said.
"Five of my Shadow Knights are still under my command. Rugul is currently in combat with the Abyss and Ashen Wolves' leader, Akajil is currently providing support on the Perfomance Floor, Nedris has temporarily retreated, and Edira is with Black Maria and Cornelia as she faces Nico Robin and the Timetheos Bearer. I've yet to have Adrebil deployed." Tormal said.
"I would advise against sending him out." Zenos said. "You've lost 3 of your most powerful fighters already. Nitez was knocked down in one hit by that yakuza human, Rime was cured by the former Whitebeard Commander, Marco the Phoenix, and Pedrol was knocked out by the son of the Crimson Crows leader. If you lose anymore, it's very likely Spade Neptune will be strong enough to defeat you."
"Even if he did regain half of his powers, it still wouldn't be enough." Tormal said. "Though perhaps it would be best to call who remains back."
"If they're in a dire strait, order them to retreat. No shame in it." Zenos said.
"Of course not." Tormal said as he looked back at the girl and gazed at her left arm which was draconic in appearance. "The last survivor of the Dragonblood Clan, and remaining inheritor of the Astral Dragon Atruum's power. Take comfort, for you will be granted the freedom you seek."
Meanwhile, Bao Huang observed the action taken by the team with Momonosuke and Shinobu.
"And Momonosuke haaaaaas….fallen!" Bao Huang said, temporarily off speaker for now.
"No doubt, he and those with him are as good as dead from falling by now." A Gifter with the head and neck of a donkey said. "If we announce that, the entire alliance is sure to lose the will fight this time."
"Yeah! Time to break their spirits once and for all!" Bao Huang cheered.
"Nice theory… Let's test it, shall we?" David asked as he was primed and ready to rumble.
Rime raised the orb into the air as she began chanting. "Great Wolf who bares the name of Loki's Son, unleash the Howling Moon and grant us your aid so that we may fight on. Come forth, Fenrir!" she said as the image of a mountain cliff high in the sky appeared as walking up to it was a six eyed blue wolf that was similar to the one most of the Alliance encountered in the World of Mirages. Fenrir's eyes soon flashed as it let out a howl along with spreading out a pair of wings as an aurora appeared above him, raising the Alliance's stats before vanishing.
"Now that's what I'm talking about!" ZS cheered as he slammed his skateboard onto a Beast Pirate's head, taking them to the ground. "Woo, now this is a power up!"
"We'll need it." Pearl said as she took down a trio of pirates. "We only have 3 hours until sunrise, and with Luffy and Jexi knocked out for now, we'll need to hold out until they return and defeat Kaido."
"Yes. Hold strong, everyone. Victory is still within reach. Do not let your convictions waver!" David said as he charged at multiple Beast Pirates, slashing them. "We're the only ones who can carry on this fight now. If we fall, it's all over. Don't give the enemy an opportunity to break you down!"
"We'd better hurry on that front. Didn't you hear Bao Huang say she was gonna belt out another spirit breaking announcement with your superhero hearing?" DW typed.
"And she expects me to fall for something like that? I don't think even she can confirm if any of it is true." David said.
"David's right. Bao Huang is making reports based only on what she sees." Ichiro said. "However, if we can use her to our advantage, we'll be able to shift the odds more in our favor."
"Are you suggesting we fake defeats?" Pyra asked.
"No, we'd never do that. Bao Huang's power in fact is the key to succeeding in Operation Beast Tamer. If Tama, Natyal and Aura can use her and give a single command via her linked to all the Marys on the island…" Ichiro said.
"Oh I get it now!" Mythra smiled.
"Aha, that can lead to miscommunication and false reporting." Francisca said.
"And a lot more." Adora said, slashing down some Beast Pirates. "Aura and Natyal are already converging on where Bao Huang is, and I'm sure Nami, Usopp and Tama are headed there too."
"That's going to be great for us!" Noah commented with a smile as he was fighting Gifters as well.
"It's up to them now. Just one single command from all three of them together, and the balance in power will shift immensely." Ichiro said.
"What a night this has been!" Draco laughed as he launched a wave of white fire towards a group of Beast Pirates. "This has been even better than my last visit to Wano!"
"Glad you're enjoying yourself." Storm deadpanned as he blocked a sword strike from a Beast Pirate before responding with his own. "Just don't wear yourself out. We need to hold out until Jexi and Luffy get back. Aster, any big names near us?"
"Hmm…well, I've got a few Gifters, and…oh, hey! Look ahead!" the fairy pointed, where the mercs saw Byleth ending a skirmish against a few Empire soldiers.
"Hey, it's that Ashen Demon lady." Tab remarked. "Draco, Storm, should we join up with her?"
"Might as well. The more the merrier." Storm said as the mercs approached the mercenary. "Byleth, ma'am. The 502nd and Wings of Cosmos requesting permission to accompany you."
"I'm okay for right now. But I keep getting separated from the main force thanks to these soldiers." Byleth said.
"Well, sure." a voice said as Shez appeared. "That's because I don't want anyone around to interrupt this time as you go down, Ashen Demon."
"Enemy commander in sight." Storm said on reflex, the mercs entering battle stances. "Adult male, lightly armored, melee fighter. Estimated threat level: High."
"He's got a strong aura around him…" Aster said. "It's almost like it's enough for two…"
"So you're the one that managed to all but conquer Fodlan, huh?" Draco mused at Shez. "I thought you'd be taller."
"And you guys are from the Merc. Association." Shez said. "Just to let you guys know, you were hired for the wrong side."
"Maybe, but we have a strict "no working for world conquering a-holes" policy." Tab said. "And from what we've heard, you and your bosses fit that description."
"Yeah. Tried working for an empire once. Turns out, it wasn't all it was cracked up to be." Storm added. "Guys, form up."
"Wait, didn't the Fodlan leaderz and that Liu guy call dibz?" FG asked.
"Do you see any of them around right now?" Storm asked. "We're holding the line until they show up. Melee heavies lead the charge, ranged fighters stick behind them by 3 meters. Keep on your guard, he's stronger than he looks."
The mercs and potential Heavenly King faced off for a few tense seconds in silence before Shez made his move, charging towards his opponents.
"Move!" the former Stormtrooper ordered as he and Draco led the contercharge, Aster and Tab staying back to fire spells and bullets at the opponent.
Shez turned into a dark light and zipped through the attacks before reverting and continuing his advance.
"Oh no you don't!" Draco challenged as he and FG slammed into Shez with flaming hand and claw, pushing the former mercenary back a few feet.
"Get out…of my…way!" Shez growled as he swung his swords across his attackers, throwing them back.
"Keep him at a distance. If it's Byleth he wants, it's Byleth he's not getting." Storm ordered as he swung his sword in a downward arc, releasing an arc of lightning that surged towards Shez, forcing him to dodge to the side.
"You…" Shez stated in frustration before a yellowish-green light washed over him and he charged once more, faster than before.
"He increased his speed!" Tab realized.
"Enemy entering melee range." Storm said to himself as he ran towards the opponent. "Time to engage directly."
The soldier and Shez met in the middle, clashing blades. The purple-haired man managed to gain ground, but Storm put up a considerable defense, even managing to make Shez stumble with a shield bash to the head.
"You keep saying that you want to kill the Ashen Demon, but you haven't said why." Storm remarked. "Do you even remember at this point?"
"I've got lots of reasons. But you won't be around long enough to know about 'em." Shez said. "I don't care who I have to cut down. I will defeat the Ashen Demon, and I will have a spot Lord Zenos's army!"
"No, you won't." Storm stated as he executed a rising strike with his sword that nearly cut Shez's nose in two, if it weren't for the mercenary stepping back. "Are those even your words, or someone else's? How deep into your head is that Demon Lord?"
"Will you just…stop?!" Shez yelled as his body exploded into a purple aura, his eyes glowing red. "I've waited for this day for far too long. This…is my hour of vengeance!"
"Guys, his power's risen! Like, a lot!" Aster yelled in concern.
"Damn…" Storm cursed as he looked to the others. "We're going to have to pull back."
"You're not going anywhere!" Shez declared as he suddenly dashed towards Storm, sword raised high.
"(No time to block, no time to get away…)" Storm observed. "(So this is it, huh? Well, at least I managed to do some good to redeem myself.)"
Before the blade could come down, another blade parried it, as Shez was knocked back a few steps, as the blade owner seemed to be Richard, who stepped out of a sukima.
"Well, thanks for broadcasting your location to me. It's just what I needed to find you in the mess." Richard remarked, before the Fodlan Lords stepped out of the sukima as well. "Good thing I managed to gather them here. Alright, you three, your chance for payback is at hand."
"Aren't you two supposed to be reclaiming your forces right now?" Shez asked Edelgard and Dimitri.
"I have delegated the task to Hubert and Ferdinand. They are currently hunting down Lord Aegir as we speak." Edelgard said.
"And Hapi is engaging that sorceress. I have full faith in her even if she isn't one of my own." Dimitri said.
"Besides, probably best all three of us taught you a lesson." Claude said. "Sorry…I meant four."
"You zhowed up in the nick of time." FG said.
"We'll leave this vengeance-driven one to you." Senshi nodded.
"Hmm. I understand the lords…but you boy…we've never met so why bother with me?" Shez said.
"Well…not with you anyway. Another Shez he knows." Claude said.
"If you want to know? First see how you fare against them." Richard stated with a tilt of his head. "I'm not going to fight you, that's the lords' duty to their kingdoms. But you definitely have a reason why I'm seeking you. And I'll tell you this: It's not a reason you'll like."
"So David was correct, he was possessed. Who are you?" Dimitri asked.
"Heh. No reason for playing this charade. That is correct. This body is his but not the spirit holding it. My name is Arval…and I am the one who will slaughter that woman." he said.
"That's a lie." Richard growled, as his eyes narrowed. "Don't use that name in vain before me… That name is something you threw away, something that was once right."
"Arval, whatever it calls itself, don't worry. Just leave it to us." Claude said. "You do your thing once we get him down."
"And I'll make sure he doesn't run away, so that you'll have the time needed to beat some sense into him." Richard nodded back. "Trust me, as much as he intends to settle things… he could slip, and I'm not taking chances."
"Though we only knew him a short time, he was still our classmate, and we'll see to it that he returns to us." Dimitri said.
"Yes. This is where we right all the wrongs he's caused to all our lands!" Edelgard said.
"You want to be destroyed that badly? Fine. All of you will die along with the demon!" Arval said from within Shez's body as the four of them charged each other.
"Come on…we need to fall back." Storm said as the Mercs ran from the fight before encountering a man jumping down with a spear. "New hostile. First impressions?"
"He's gotta be the last Shadow Knight." Tab said.
"I am Adrebil, the Stoic Dragoon." he said. "You will die at my hands. That is all."
"Wow…what a cliché line." Draco taunted as the Wings of Cosmos and 502d prepared to fight.
With Nami, Usopp and Tama…
"How can your Clima-tact be talking? I knew I was a genius, but…" Usopp said.
"No. It's me! What used to be Zeus." it said.
"How? I saw you get eaten!" Nami said.
"Well…my soul was in the process of being sucked out, then I saw my favorite treat…the black balls. And when Hera bit down, she must have pushed my soul into the Clima-tact." Zeus said. "Now look at me." he said as the Clima-tact twisted and turned. "I've been reborn!"
"Gross. I don't want a talking weapon!" Nami said.
"Ah, I forgot! You still hate me, and without Mama, I can't very well leave." Zeus said.
"We're almost to the stage! Tama, you, Aura and Natyal can give the order from up here!" Usopp said.
As they were meeting up with Natyal and Aura, they soon spotted Bao Huang on the rafter.
"Attention all sectors of Onigashima! The enemy general Momonosuke has…!" she began.
"Miss Bao Huang!" the donkey headed Gifter said as they noticed the group.
"Alright! Just in the nick of time!" Aura said.
"Indeed." Natyal said. "We need to capture her!"
"Right. I got that right…" Usopp said before being hit down by something.
"What the?" they said before they saw Ulti standing there as she held Tama.
"You again? I thought that…" Nami said.
"Shut up! All of you have been playing with my head all night. I have no clue who is right anymore. What I do know is…my brother wouldn't have gotten hurt if it wasn't for you three!" Ulti growled.
"Oh for crying out loud… will you just knock it off already?!" Nami swung her Clima-tact to hit Ulti, and Zeus put in a little extra oomph by turning into a mace as he rammed into her.
"See? I can be useful. Just use your Clima-tact like normal." Zeus said. "This girl's really tough on the surface but she's taken a number of powerful attacks all night. One good lightning blast should keep her down for the rest of the night."
"I can't do that, I'll hit Tama!" Nami said.
"Not…at all. Green Star…" Usopp said as grass was growing out. "Sargasso!" he said as it separated Tama from Ulti.
"You're clear!" Aura said.
"Right. Not sure what Siege sees in you but you're just going to keep going into a rage no matter what we say. So we need to keep you down! Weather Egg!" Nami created a storm cloud which became Zeus. "Zeus?"
"No. I am a being that looks similar to him. Call me by a new name." he said.
"Oh…uh…Fluff?" Nami said.
The group paused for a bit before the clouds turned black.
"I am the mighty Zeus! Right arm of Nami! Prepare for pain!" Zeus proclaimed.
"Here we go, Zeus! Ninpo: Lighting Blast!" Nami said, calling down an instantaneous thunderbolt down from the sky as Ulti jumped.
"It's over!" Ulti said.
"No, it's not!" Zeus said as the lightning strike changed directions. "It's not over…until I hit the target!" he called out as he zapped Ulti with a powerful lightning strike as she wavered.
"Maybe that boy…had a point." Ulti said as she collapsed into unconsciousness.
"Aaaaah! Lady Ulti just went down! First Page One and now her! Two of the Tobi Roppo are down and out!" Bao Huang called, failing to realize she was still live on speaker.
"Ah, Miss Bao Huang!" the Gifter said.
"Huh? Ah!" she said, realizing what she had done. "I was supposed to lower the enemy's morale…not ours!"
It was too late for any changes, as everyone heard Bao Huang's mistake shout out.
"Nice job, you guys. Knew you could pull it off." David said on the comm.
"I told you, this fight does not end until all of us are down!" Gus exclaimed. "You still have a chance to win, so keep fighting! The All-Stars and Tobi Roppo are not so invincible after hearing that, right!?"
"That had to shake the enemy to their cores." Ichiro said. "But we aren't done yet. It's time to put this strategy into motion for real."
"Indeed it is." Ainz said. "Aura…are all the demons around the castle subjugated?"
"Yes, Lord Ainz." Aura said.
"Good…this is the command you are to give them." Ainz said.
"I gotta get away…!" Bao Huang said.
"Oh no you don't! Green Star: Devil!" Usopp said as the fly trap emerged and trapped Bao Huang in its jaws.
"With Bao Huang's SMILE ability, we can now reach all across Onigashima. Tama, begin!" Ichiro said as the three beast tamers were set.
"It…. It's me, Otama!" Tama said.
"Now…this is a telepathic relay to all demons." Aura said. "You no longer serve Tormal or Zenos Road. However, these orders are for you alone. Find them…and drag them out here."
The demons outside roared as they charged into the castle.
"What're they doing up there?!" Queen asked, noticing Tama. "And who the heck is that?!"
"Don't turn your attention from us, Plague!" Ethox said as he landed a Tiger-enhanced strike on the All-Star.
"Allow me to join. Time!" Rime said, stopping time around Queen and sending them both into a dimensional tunnel. "Playtime is over!" she said, slowly walking past and phasing behind him as myriads of magic bolts appeared around the All-Star. "Eternal Sleep." she said, waving her arm down as the bolts began bombarding the Plague Doctor before she finished with an explosion as she laughed.
"Now, Tama! Do it!" Ristarte called.
"To all my friends who ate my Millet Dumplings, please listen up!" Tama called out. "Go and fight for our allies!" she said as a number of Gifters and Headliners quickly switched sides and started attacking the enemy.
"It's working! Gifters all over are switching to our side and evening the odds!" Ignatz called from above in the Archer Corps post.
"What a magnificent ability that young child has." Ogg said. "Morgoth himself would be impressed."
"Argh… damn that kid, what did she do?!" Queen said, recovering from Rime's attack and prepared to fire his Black Coffee beam right at the beast tamer group.
"Collier Strike!" Sanji intervened, giving Queen another hard shot and cutting him off.
"Dammit! Judge's Son again!" Queen said.
"Don't ever say that name to me. You were part of his insane research team, right?" Sanji said.
"You mean MADS? Just look at this body. I'll come straight at ya…as a cyborg!" Queen said as he morphed into his hybrid form.
"Oh yeah, like we didn't know that already just by looking at you!" Kazuma retorted, Queen himself having an extendable metal claw tail and his manchu arm as obvious features.
"Come at us in any form you can take! It won't change the fact that you'll pay for what you've done!" Ethox said determinedly.
"Chopper, you able to manage over there?" Ristarte asked.
"Aye, I'll be fine, you youngsters worry about yer fightin." Chopper's voice said coming from the helmet he had been wearing.
"Uh… you don't look that fine." Neuman said, seeing how Chopper had changed, having shrunken down to the size of a baby.
"I'm fine, sonny. Just a side effect of the new Rumble Ball." Chopper said. "It's Zoro I gotta worry about. I'm gonna be givin' him this medicine from Zou. Don't really know enuff about it to give it to him, but its supposed to have Ultra-regenerative effects."
"Yes..but upon looking at it closely…the amount of pain he's got will be doubled once it wears off." Medina said.
"Um… should we really give it to him then?" Marianne asked.
"Well, we really don't have a lot of options. His wounds are so severe even healing magic can't fully heal him in one go." Linhardt said.
"We must get him to a safe place so he can recover properly." Mercedes said.
"Do we really have a choice with this though?" Mythra asked. "The sooner he fights, the better."
"Is that honestly a good idea though?" Mio asked.
"I tend to agree with Mercedes…" Noah said thoughtfully.
"And risk putting Zoro out of action for a bit while two All-Stars are currently present in the building?" Mikan asked.
"If you guys have any better ideas, I'm sure we would like to hear them." David said.
"There's no time to debate this. Just give me the medicine!" Zoro said.
"Okay, Zoro. But… Fair warning, this is going to hurt…a lot." Sojiro said.
"He's been through worse." Roy said.
"Much worse." Scarlet agreed.
"Besides…I don't care what happens later. What matters is…that I fight now!" Zoro said.
The Fourth Floor, Jimbei and Taiga vs Who's Who…
Who's Who registered all the chaos around him as he gripped his katana before drawing it to reveal… a knife.
"It's clear now…that I actually have to try fighting! Blade Pistol!" Who's Who said as he jabbed the air as stabbing shots were fired at the two.
"Fishman Karate: Arabesque Brick Fist!" Jimbei said sending the projectiles flying.
"Shave!" Who's Who said vanishing before reappearing above the two. "Tempest Kick!" he said, launching a kicking wave as the two blocked it.
"Jimbei! Taiga!" a voice said as Esmeralda leaped into the scene. "Looks like you guys are handling this guy well."
"He's using the Six Powers…the fighting style of government agents. It reminds me…of hearing a CP9 agent being imprisoned awhile back." Jimbei said.
"Ah…you know about that? That was so long ago. Yeah…that was me, all right." Who's Who said as he changed into his hybrid form, looking more savage with both fangs showing as his hair was flowing. "I got locked up all because I failed to protect one lousy Devil Fruit."
"That was what was missing from the reports. The details of the mission that got you disbarred." Esmerelda said.
"But that was 12 years ago. Be aware…they used to say I had the potential of the genius Rob Lucci. Fang Pistol!" Who's Who said letting out a biting wave as they avoided it as it bit through a stone column.
"Whoo… That was close." Esmeralda said.
"Ah… So you're a White Tiger. So majestic, so radiant. It is a shame to kill one such as you, but it can't be helped. Least you'll die with another tiger by your side." Who's Who said.
"Then what are we waiting for?" Esmeralda asked as she imbued her claws in ice.
"You really are self-confident, if you think that your tricks are enough to claim my head." Taiga stated, as he flexed his arms slightly.
"I pity you, but your fate has nothing to do with us." Jimbei said.
"Oh that's where you idiots are wrong. Allies to Straw Hat Luffy and the Dimensional Heroes. That's the story you all are sticking by." Who's Who said. "You know, I was really shocked when he came about awhile back. But you wanna know what shocked me most? He'd had eaten the Gum-Gum Fruit we were guarding!"
"Hmm… I see. Then the one that stole it from you must have been…" Esmeralda said.
"Yeah! It was Shanks! He's the one I hate most. And that kid's wearing the same hat he wore so my hatred extends to him too!" Who's Who said, before he then leapt into the air, before firing a barrage of Fang Pistols, that pelted the entire floor where the trio were standing, as they were forced to dodge, as the attacks were so powerful that they hit the floor below, hitting people left and right, with indiscriminate targeting.
"Such hatred…" Esmerelda remarked.
"Hahaha, dodging was a wise move!" Who's Who declared. "Even your Armament Haki wouldn't be enough, much less bare flesh. If any of you tried to block it, you'd been eaten alive! I didn't think a slimy fishman could move that fast on dry land, Jimbei!"
"Then I'll just have to break those fangs you are proud of then." Taiga scoffed, as he went for a thrusting strike that knocked Who's Who back, only for him to be knocked back by a counter-lunge.
"I'm not sure what to say to that…" Jimbei stated. "It's generally no longer acceptable to express such discrimination for fishmen like me."
"Sorry. But there is something I wanna ask." Who's Who said as he crouched on the ground. "Iron Body!" he said before lunging at the two as they blocked his fangs. "Fang Flash!"
"Fishman Jiu-Jitsu: Low-Tide Shoulder Throw!" Jimbei declared, shoulder-throwing Who's Who onto the ground, before gathering water to his fist,and then throwing a spread of water bullets. "Water Bullets!"
Who's Who recovered fast enough to notice the attack.
"Shave!" He declared, as he disappeared in a flash of speed, clinging onto a wall, before Esmerelda rushed towards him, and landed a powerful sweeping kick that knocked him off the wall, and right into the ground again.
"Damn, that hurts…!" Who's Who growled, wincing from the pain on his sides. "I wanted to ask you anyway… about a story I heard from a guard in jail. While I was undergoing intense torture, he laughed and told me to pray!"
"And he told you this, why?" Esmerelda asked.
"Because, there was a legendary warrior in the distant past said to rescue slaves in their hour of need. They called him the Sun God Nika. He would save anyone and put smiles on their faces." Who's Who said.
"Why ask us?" Jimbei asked.
"Because you led the Sun Pirates. And they were former slaves themselves. I mean, what is Fishman history if not a history of slaves?" Who's Who said as Jimbei's eyes narrowed.
"This man's insults are getting really annoying." Esmerelda said to Taiga.
"Finger Pistol…Spots!" Who's Who said as he jabbed at the three of them with two fingers. "And the guard…he was disappeared days later. I thought I was in danger too. So I risked it all on escape. So tell me everything you stupid creatures kn…" he said before Taiga and Esmeralda broke his fingers. "Gah!"
Taiga then seized one of Who's Who's arms, while Esmerelda leapt high into the air to prepare for a powerful strike.
"I've had enough of listening to your prattle." Taiga remarked with a low, cold voice. "At first, I thought that you were a worthy opponent, who seeks to stand at the top. But to hear that you are nothing but a disgraced person, who clings onto such delusions… I am truly disappointed, and that is only the second time it happened."
Taiga then snapped Who's Who's arm with immense force that even his passive Iron Body couldn't do anything to resist it, as the former CP9 agent was left staggering back in writhing pain.
"If you think that's a bad injury, maybe this will dull the pain, in some way. White Tiger Chilling Claw!" Esmerelda slashed Who's Who across the chest as ice spread out rapidly from the slash marks.
"Argh! Damn you!" Who's Who said, tempest kicking them at close range. "Here comes your puncture wounds! Fang Pistol!"
Jimbei stepped forward,before he then took the attack head-on, as the attack literally broke on Jimbei's body, as Who's Who was stunned at the display, and at the silent rage on Jimbei's expression.
"Wha!?" Who's Who exclaimed, before Jimbet then took a stance, as energy began to gather around him.
"Fishman Karate… Ultimate Technique…!" JImbei prepared.
"He's snapped. I gotta…" Who's Who said before seeing the three were standing on his tail.
"You're too late to run now." Taiga sneered, as he rolled his arms back.
"Here's some advice for you. Be prepared for what you get into when you run your mouth about history to the wrong people!" Esmerelda said, as Jimbei thrusted his fist at the fallen World Government agent.
"Demon Brick Fist!" Jimbei said letting loose a powerful strike as Who's Who went flying back as he collapsed onto the ground.
Esmerelda sighed. "Looks like the great cats of today stand tall over the ones of ancient history." she said to Taiga.
"Such is the way of evolution." Taiga scoffed, looking at the downed Who's Who, before glaring at the Gifters remnants in the vicinity. "Begone. You have no right to stand against us. All you seek fighting us… is slaughter, pure and simple."
FIlled with absolute terror at watching their allocated Tobi Roppo fall, the Gifters scattered wildly, unable to even turn their backs around to look at the three of them, their minds focused on running away from the bane of their existences.
"And so begins…the fall of this Emperor's army." Esmeralda said.
