"Run run run!" Brook said as he carried Robin and Edira as they were pursued by two men in white wearing masks.

"Who the heck are these people? Tormal didn't mention them…" Edira said.

"CP0…likely here via Orochi's invitation. They're likely here for me." Robin said. "Though from what I know…the masked agents are the most elite."

"We just need to keep running and…" Brook said as they saw the strange apparition-like creature passing through the ceiling. "What the heck is that thing?!" he said as the agents were hit by it.

"Yes…that got them." Edira said.

"No…not completely." Robin said as they ran further ahead.

Elsewhere deep below…

"Apapapapa! So…what do you two say? Why not join up with me?" Apoo said to both X Drake and Velouria as he sat with three large Numbers.

Numbers

1: Inbi

2: Fuga

3: Zanki

"I know your damn game…" Velouria huffed. "But I'll be damned if I turn tail on my own friends. Don't think just because you got those giants with you, that you hold enough power to pressure me down!"

"So all this is just a game?" X Drake said.

"Of course. I am an info broker. I've been selling info on Kaido and other big names for awhile now. Heck, joining him was what guaranteed I wouldn't die." Apoo said.

"You really are disgusting. I would never team up with someone like you." X Drake said.

"Aren't you even going to…" Apoo said before the wooden doors opened up as Yamato and her group were seen.

"What is this?" Yamato said. "Apoo? And X Drake of the Topi Robbi!" she said going on the attack.

"Whoa, what is going on here?" Ajna said.

"Uh…oh thank goodness! I'm on your guy's side. These two just tried to attack me when I tried to defect." Apoo said.

"Don't take his words for granted!" Velouria exclaimed. "He was about to sick his giants on us when you came in! He's the one trying to pull the wool over your eyes!"

"Oh don't worry." Ajna said, aiming her bow and firing at Apoo.

"Seriously, trying to turn us all against each other to save your skin?" Eddy said.

"Wait, you need to know something." X Drake stated. "After fighting him with this girl, I have found something else about his powers. It's not just sound that allows him to attack, he needs a line of sight to his intended targets. As long as you can hear him, and he can see you, his attacks always land."

"Hey, come on! You're giving the game away!" Apoo said.

"Ugh…why are we messing with this guy! We need to get to the basement before the bombs go off." Peacock said.

"D-Did you say bombs!?" Apoo exclaimed, as the mention of the words shook his confidence slightly.

"Long story short…the island is at risk of falling and taking us all out in a fiery explosion." Double D said.

Apoo was left conflicted by hearing those facts, as he intended to convince Yamato to ally with him, no matter what means he had to use… but if Onigashima blows with him on it… what's the point?

"Fine, I'll help out, this time for real! But make no mistake, once the bombs are gone, I'll finish-" Apoo was about to state before a gout of flames hit the ground, as the CP0 agents revealed themselves, causing Apoo's eyes to brighten up, as he began to pull out a camera Den Den Mushi to record their appearances. "Apapapapapa! Now this is a scoop! 'Lapdogs of the Celestial Dragons spotted in Kaido's castle!' This will most definitely sell to Morgans for a neat price!"

"Wait, who are these…!? I can sense something dangerous from them…" Velouria winced, as she felt endangered just being near the CP0 agents.

"...You should have kept that mouth shut, Scratchmen Apoo." The bowler-hat agent declared, before knocking Apoo down into the ground, spewing blood, with a single haymaker.

"Just from one hit?" Ajna said in surprise.

"CP0…they're the most elite of the Cipher Pol agents." Double D said.

"X Drake. I hope you don't assume that your true allegiance would remain a secret to us." The bowler-hat agent told X Drake.

"If you already know that. I'm dying to hear your excuse for being here." X Drake responded back with defiance.

"We're just…" The bowler-hat agent stated, before he then pulled back a fist to attack X Drake. "...Handling pest control!"

Before the bowler-hat agent could attack, some ice shards suddenly rushed down, at the speed of bullets, forcing the CP0 agent to cancel his attack, as Reisen and Weiss landed before him.

"...There you are." Reisen stated. "It seems that you have finally chosen to play your hands."

"And you yours." The agent answered back, as there was a stand-off between the two pairs, neither side moving at all.

"Okay…we should get going before…" Peacock said as Fuga was chasing after them.

"Huh? Oh, Fuga! So glad to see you again." Yamato said casually.

"Fugagaga." Fuga said.

"Wait, you're actually friends with this thing?!" Peacock asked.

"We've been friends for awhile. I comforted him even when he ate a SMILE when he wasn't supposed to." Yamato said.

"Oh, so that would explain why he has a centaur-esque look." Ajna said.

"...Yamato. You have a very important priority. Get moving… before the fight involves you." Weiss told Yamato. "We cannot guarantee that we can hold these agents off… And I suspect that there might be more."

"Right. Come on, Fuga. We'll need your help!" Yamato said as the group hurried off.

"You are involving yourself in matters that do not involve you. Move aside." The agent stated.

"Says the government assassins." Weiss scoffed. "...Where is your third? We know that your teams do not run in pairs."

"That is none of your concern. We may as well put an end to you, considering that you are classified as high-level threats." The agent responded back. "You sincerely cannot hope to beat us as you are."

"We are not here to beat you, we are here to stall you and waste your strength." Weiss stated. "We know your frightening Rokushiki proficiency makes you formidable foes… but all that alone is not enough to match us."

"Boom!" Apoo called, as the bowler-hat agent was sent flying with a mighty explosion, as the musical fighter rose to his feet with a growl. "That freaking hurt, you damn government assassins…!"

"X Drake, We're counting on your aid." Reisen stated.

"I know." X Drake nodded, before turning to Apoo. "So, are we doing this or not?"

"Obviously! They picked a fight with me, and I'm going to finish it!" Apoo stated. "They're going to get what's coming to them, World Government be damned!"

The two sides began to prepare for battle, as the tension began to rise strongly in anticipation for the fight to come.

Outside the Skull Dome, Team Zoro vs King…

(Resume Music: Theme of Gogeta (SS4) Theme- Dragon Ball FighterZ)

King continued to fly over the skies at the group. He smirked as he grabbed the crest on the back of his pteranodon head and pulled it back as it pulled his face inward.

"What the hell is he…" Zoro said.

"Imperial…Deep Pride…Stake!" King said letting go as he sniped at the ledge and destroyed it. "This was how Pteranadon's would snipe their prey in the ancient past."

"Anybody else taking that fact seriously?" Shionne said, trying to shoot King out of the sky, to no avail.

"Not right now, no." Mari said.

"Hmph̵. T͘h͠e ̡an̕c͢ieņt w̢a̴ys ̶aŗe ̛de͡a͡d̡ anyway." David said as he sent a shockwave towards King.

"Agreed." Rinkah laughed as she shot white hot flames at King. Literally.

"David, are you alright while fighting in that form?" Ace asked.

"Ye̴àh. T̸h́e͘ ̀Gòd Mod̨e͠ part of it̨ is ̵b͞ala͜n̵cing it out ͜great͡l̡y͟. I͢t͠ m̡i̢ght bųrn out̕ a̢ ̧lot͡ ơf e̡n͏èrgy,̴ ̴thou̸g͡h̴.

S͏o,͟ ̵I apolo͠gize in ͏advance̸ ̴for ͜a̧n͜ỳ…cơlla͟teral dam̢ag͡e.҉"

"You and I both are at our strongest David, collateral damage is expected." Rinkah smirked.

"Well just know we got your backs." Ace smiled.

"Look sharp, he's coming back around!" Kisara warned, as King circled back.

"Law, follow my lead when he gets close." Ace said, readying his Symbology. "Come from within this being, o perpetual thunder of amethyst hue!" he chanted as Law put both of his arms out forward.

"Eat this! Our final shot!" Law said as a cannon composed of lightning energy appeared in front of him.

"Thousand Braver!" Ace and Law called out as the cannon fired a powerful beam of lightning as King closed in. King closed his wings as he blocked a lot of the attack before dispersing it.

"No way! He blocked it?!" Law asked.

"What is he made of?" Alphen asked.

"Damn it, he isn't an All-Star for nothing." Ace said.

"You just gotta put your BACK into it!" Rinkah yelled as she socked King with a massive flame punch! King just looked at them as his mask just burned.

"Haaaaa!" Zoro called out as he cut at the flame that was behind King. "I get it now..with that flame gone, his speed rises but his defenses drop." Zoro said as King nonchalantly grabbed his mask as he ripped it off. Finally, his true face was shown for all to see.

"T̛ha̢t f͠ac̶e… ̀So͠, ́it's tru̴e." David said.

"A Lunarian!" some of the enemy troops said as they snapped pictures. "They say if you have info on the whereabouts of one, you get 100,000,000 from the World Government." some of them said before King set the soldiers aflame.

"10̕0͏ milli̧on̨?͢ Se̷ŗious҉l̕y?̸ Ẃǫw…̕ I didn't ͝k̴n̶ow ou̧r k͝ind waś t͜ha͡t̴ ̀valu̢ab͡lȩ.̸" David said.

"Hmph. Races are valuable beyond a price, David." Rinkah scoffed. "All races are."

"It's not like it matters…" King said, taking off once more. "For people about to die!"

"At l͢eas͝t҉ ̵answer̀ m͢e̢ ̷thi͘s…͘ W̵h̨en̵ I m̧e͝ntio̶n҉ed m̴y̢ mot̕h͜e͝r͠'͞s n͟am͏e̕, ̸you g̵ot͜ a b̀i̸t of a rea͞c͞tion̷. ͟D̢id̕ y͘ou kńòw ̵about̢ her?̷" David asked.

"No…I did not know her. I just recognized it as a Lunarian name." King said.

"I ̨see… " David said. "Wel̢l…͘ I͞t̸'s͠ no҉t̕ my̷ ̀p͘la͞c̕e̕ to ask of ͢t͝hi͝s̀, ̛but… H͞o҉w̴ w͞ou͜ld ͞it ̵feel ́to f̀ace ̀a L̨u̷nar͘ia҉ń i͡n b̶at́tle?̷"

Rinkah saw what was going on here, folding her arms as she awaited King's answer.

"I know͘ ͜full ̛wel̸l͠ t̕hat t̴here is n̢o͡ w̕ay I̧ ća͝n ͢b͡ring ͞you t͠o my side.

"So, instead… I am planning to give you the best fight of your life, Lunarian to Lunarian."

"No interference…" Rinkah smirked as she powered down and pat David on the shoulder. "You get him, bud."

(Shift- X vs Zero- Remixed by Breis)

"It doesn't matter to me if you are or not. You are a fool. Because the one who will become King of the Pirates…is Kaido!" King said, rapidly striking with his head launching attacks.

David's transformation utilized his speed as he used his sword to slice through King's attacks. "Very well then. Come at me. I'm ready!"

"If you want a sword fight, you shall have one. After all, I myself enjoy a good duel!" King said, clashing his katana with David for a bit. After a few strikes, he went for his disarming technique.

"Trying to disarm me, eh? That's not gonna work." David said as he was able to block King's technique.

King then backpedaled and took to the air. "Then try to block or avoid this. Imperial Slings and Arrows!" he called, launching a barrage of cutting waves from his sword and hybrid wings.

"Haaaa…!" David let out a cry as he launched several energy blasts.

"Impressive. I can sense the threat you represent." King said. "Actually, from you and that one." he said looking to Zoro.

Rinkah seemed rather appalled by this statement as she folded her arms.

"Oh, you flatter me. My power's not really anything special." David said.

"If you really do carry the same blood as me, it should be." King said.

"Maybe it is. Who can say?" David said as he prepped up his blade again. "You know… I can't describe this feeling, but… It's like I'm fighting long-lost family. It's a little gut-wrenching, but at the same time… I feel a sort of happiness."

"Family? Hardly…you and I…are far from family! Imperial Flames!" King said, unleashing his flames at David.

"Hmm… I guess you are right. I guess I'm getting a bit sentimental. Absolute!" David said as he encased King in a sphere of ice before it bursts and he gets close again. "Crescent Strike!" he said as he slashed to create an afterimage of a moon before slashing again to slice the image.

"Yes! He got him." Law said.

"No…" Alphen said as King flew there only taken some damage.

"Boy…you shouldn't be so full of yourself." King said.

"Me, full of myself? Now what would give you that idea?" David asked. "I said I'd give you the best fight of your life, and I plan to deliver."

"Because you think you can best me and Kaido with useless ice." King said as his flames grew hotter like magma. "Fire is a lunarian's true heritage…one you've clearly abandoned."

"Heh. Fire vs Ice. Guess I have a soft spot for the classics." David said. "And I don't think I can… I know I can."

"Then try freezing this over! Imperial Flaming Wings!" King called, blasting at David a stream of white hot fire in the form of Kaido's full dragon form.

David takes a deep breath as energy rifles formed in his hands. "Sapphire God's…Judgment Blaster!" David said as he fired a stream of energy, clashing it with King's attack.

"They're actually on even ground!" Rinwell said.

"It's to be expected from people like David." Ace said.

"His attack won't overpower it…least…not alone." Zoro said.

"Zoro, are you sure we should get involved? David's trying to keep this one on one." Law said.

"Sorry…but I want at this guy as well." Zoro said as he jumped up. "King of Hell…Three Sword Serpent…" he said as a black serpent-like slash merged with David's attack as it started cutting through the dragon. "103 Mercies…Dragon Damnation!" he said as the attack struck King and sliced off part of his wing.

"Now for the finisher!" David said as he underwent Burst Mode and charged at King.

"Let's help him!" Pyra exclaimed as she dashed forward.

"Right!" Mythra exclaimed.

"Let's finish this." Zoro said.

"Don't leave me out!" Rinkah exclaimed as they rushed to help David.

David landed a slash on King, sending him to the air as David's Burst Mode dissolves into his giant blade before the blade splits into several parts.

Rinkah, Pyra, and Mythra each summon their own elemental ethereal weapons that join with David's.

"On your go!" Pyra said to David, the trio ready to aid him.

"Everyone, lend me your strength!" David said as he, Pyra, Mythra, Zoro and Rinkah slashed through King several times, or in Rinkah's case, bashed, before David leaps at the top with the unified blade as David grabs it and drops on King, sending him crashing to the ground and off the island.

(end song)

"Kai…do…" King muttered as he fell.

"Guess we might as well be…the kings of hell." Zoro said.

"Apparently so." David said.

"Hah… kings of hell…" Rinkah scoffed. "I'm not fit for royalty any day of the week."

"Regardless, it's done." Mythra huffed.

"Great job everyone!" Pyra said with a bright smile.

King the Conflaguration: Defeated

Winners: David, Zoro, Pyra, Mythra, Rinkah and allies

"Phew… That took some doing." David said.

"But all we have left now is Kaido, right?" Rinkah asked.

"Kaido, Big Mom, Tormal, Zenos Road, and the rest of their stooges." David said.

"Adrebil and Shez should still be fighting. As well as Big Mom against Hope, Siege, Mark, Kidd and Trafalgar Law. Nedris is still somewhere in the castle along with Tormal and Zenos Road. And Jexi and Luffy should still be fighting Kaido." Shionne said.

"And Those that Slither in the Dark. I don't know why I keep forgetting about them." David said. "But in any case, we're down to the big shots now."

"We're almost done with this then…" Pyra said in relief.

"Don't rest your laurels yet, Pyra. Just because we've dwindled their forces down to the big players doesn't mean we can rest easy." Mythra stated bluntly.

"Still… King… We gave you the fight of your life, didn't we?" David asked.

"I'm sure he'd…probably agree if he were still on the island." Alphen said.

David smiled. "Then… I have no regrets. I can keep going with my head held high."

"You'll still be heading to Kaido to back up Jexi and Luffy, right?" Kisara said.

"Yeah… Just as soon as I get my energy back." David said.

"I bet those two will be finished before you even recharge." Zoro said before looking to a figure in black with a skull head and scythe. "Hey…who did we have that…wears that?" Zoro said as he collapsed.

"The Death Knight, Emile?" Ace asked.

"Uh…I'm Death." he said.

"Oh crap. Um… You didn't come for us, did you?" David asked.

"...Not gonna lie, didn't think I'd be staring death in the eyes." Mythra gulped.

"Likewise. But I'm not coming for any of you…just him." he said pointing to Zoro.

"Why him!?" Pyra exclaimed.

"Damn it… It was the drug that Chopper gave him." David said.

"I'm sorry. What?" Rinkah deadpanned.

"Zoro was in bad shape, so we had Chopper fix him up with a drug. But once it wore off…" David said.

"He would be hit with twice the pain. He was already near death before the drug." Death said.

"I-is there anything we can do to bring him back!?" Pyra pleaded. "Anything!?"

"Sorry…but that is a path only he can take. If he truly claims to be a king of hell…he'll have no problem fighting to get back to life." he said pointing to Zoro.

"Khhh… damnit." Rinkah grit her teeth as she heard this.

"Heh…then do it. He'll be back at our side within a week." Mari said.

"She's got a point. I've seen this guy fight. No way death is gonna keep him from living." Law said.

Rinkah walked away from the area, having seen enough death of allies for a lifetime in her eyes. 'Siege ain't gonna be pleased when I tell him the truth about this… Dammit all, we do everything we can and we STILL come up with casualties… is anything we really do worth it…?' Rinkah thought to herself as she was walking away.

"Rinkah, wait!" Alphen said. "Don't worry. Zoro will make it out alive."

"Yeah. I've seen him for myself. No way is a guy like him staying down for long." David said.

Rinkah stopped, huffing in anger as Pyra and Mythra looked at each other, then to the others. "It's… not the fact about coming back…" Pyra said as Rinkah stormed back, shoving Pyra and Mythra both aside roughly as she grabbed Alphen by the shoulders first, her powerful white flames returning just from sheer anger.

"Do you know… how many lives… I'VE WATCH DIE JUST IN THE PAST FEW OUTINGS I'VE BEEN ON!?" Rinkah exclaimed. "Lives I could have saved! Lives that we could have saved precious materials to bring people back on! Lives of innocents! Lives of my friends! JUST BECAUSE HE'S COMING BACK DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT HE DIED!" Rinkah yelled, tears of anger beginning to form as she grabbed David next. "I DON'T CARE IF THEY COME BACK OR WHAT THE HELL EVER, IT STILL COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED! SO MANY DEATHS COULD HAVE BEEN STOPPED! AND…! ….And…." Rinkah huffed, her voice cracking as her tough demeanor was shattering before everyone's eyes.

"Rinkah, that's enough!" David said, pushing her off of him. "I understand how you feel. Seeing comrades die is never a pretty sight. But even so, the fact that Zoro will come back still brings a light to the situation. There is a speech I have heard somewhere. In times like these, it matters not what our blood ties are. Our forces are our families. If you don't want to cause any family grief, then live. Zoro wouldn't have done this if he intended on causing us grief."

All David got in turn for his speech was a punch to the face, Rinkah having heard that too much as it is, as she turned and left angry, as Pyra and Mythra looked at David, Mythra sighing.

"We appreciate your words, David." Mythra said. "But even if we live… Burdens like this, especially in our case… Aren't just that easy to brush off."

"Now if you'll excuse us… We best stop Rinkah from sending the entire island crashing down in a fiery inferno." Pyra added, as the two of them rushed after Rinkah.

"David, quit focusing on them. We gotta get Zoro to Chopper." Franky said.

"Erm… Right." David said.

"What are you going to do now?" Rinwell asked.

"Well, if Zoro is right in that Luffy and Jexi got Kaido covered, I think I may as well spend my remaining energy putting out the fires." David said.

"Glad to see you back on your feet…Commander." Alphen said.

David was taken aback by the Commander title but nonetheless nodded. "Yeah. Let's go. This war is not over yet."

Back inside…

"Run faster, Inbi!" Apoo cried out as he fled with the number as he looked back as some of the Unmei Force were still fighting the government agents and the fallen Zanki. "No way we can beat these guys!"

Reisen immediately tried to smash a ice-coated foot right into the bowler-hat agent's head, only to be countered by a quick application of Tekkai that rendered the attack ineffective, before she was sent flying back with a swipe of his arm,even though she positioned herself to dull the impact.

"Damn it, we're down a man…" Weiss cursed, seeing that X Drake was left bloodied on the ground.

"Shigan." The other agent, the top-hatted one wearing a round mask, declared, as he thrust his finger forward, which managed to clip Weiss's side and wound her with a cry of pain.

"Back off!" Weiss retorted, before she then quick-casted a ice glyph that sent a moving mass of ice that smashed the agent against the back of the wall.

"I never thought we'd be met with this much resistance." the bowler agent said.

"You're fighting your equivalents." Reisen stated,before bending backwards to avoid a Rankyaku that hit the wall, cutting deep into it. "Just as CP0 exists to do the dirty work for the World Government, both of us are part of a special-ops team that deals with matters like these. We are tasked to intercept agents like you, and that's what we will do."

"How intriguing." The bowler-hat agent stated, before activating Soru, as he began to attack Reisen from multiple directions. "It seems that Soru lacks effectiveness against you. You are naturally this agile… and yet you do not seem to be a Mink at all, you resemble a human more closely than you do to an animal."

"Hmph." Reisen stated, before she then predicted the next attack, before flexing her hand into a gun-stance. "That's not the only trick I have."

"What!?" The bowler-hat agent exclaimed, before being hit by Reisen's short-range blast, which sent him flying back to join his agent. "...Rgh, this is a futile effort. Fighting you only exists to exhaust our resources. You are indeed powerful, but we will not be deterred-"

Before the fight could continue, there was the sound of Den Den Mushi ringing, as the agent retreated back, to gain some distance from the pair, while his partner moved in front to intercept them, being on the defensive, as the pair assaulted him from all sides.

"Crap…uh…do you mind if I…" he asked.

"You can take as long as you like… Once we're done with your partner… you won't survive long." Weiss stated, before frosting the ground to keep the agent from slipping away, although the use of Kami-e prevented him from being defeated in mere moments.

"Have you captured Nico Robin?" Lucci's voice rang from the Den Den Mushi.

"No…we're facing some…unexpected interference." the bowler hat agent said.

"You need to get out of the castle quickly." Lucci ordered.

"What..!?" The bowler-hat agent stated.

"The All-Stars have been wiped out, and far faster than expected." Lucci responded back. "The odds of the alliance winning were ten-thousand to one… and they have proven that they have drawn that miracle of a chance. News of this will exacerbate everything that is happening across all of the known worlds. The fate of an era will be decided on this island in the next few minutes. And it will not be for the better…"

"Understood." The bowler-hat agent stated, before turning to his partner. "...We have no choice, Maha, use Rokuogan. We cannot allow ourselves to be captured."

"Rokuogan…?" Weiss stated, before she then realized what was happening, as Reisen was about to go for a thrusting blow. "Reisen, get back-"

Before Weiss could finish, Maha pushed both of his hands forward in a clawed motion, as it launched a massive shockwave that blasted right through Reisen, even though her attack connected at the same time, cracking the chest of the CP0 agent, but leaving Reisen bleeding with fractured bones everywhere on her body, as she hacked up blood, before being sent flying right through a series of walls.

"Reisen!" Weiss exclaimed with horror, before icing the ground to slip for extra speed, but not before glaring at the CP0 agents. "...Don't think this is over. Once I find her… I'll make sure that neither of you leave here alive!"

"That should keep them busy for a bit." the bowler hat agent said as the two of them continued their pursuit of Nico Robin, even though Maha winced slightly from the fractured ribs he took from the attack.

Weiss did not take long to find Reisen, who was in a crater on the ground, barely conscious, as the moon rabbit slowly rose to her feet, staggering slightly.

"Reisen…" Weiss muttered, before Reisen spat some blood out, to clear her own airway.

"So this is what a mastered Rokuogan can do." Reisen stated. "My body feels as if it had been pulverized by a compactor. But I'm still standing… and I won't let that deter me."

"Don't push yourself, alright…? You're the one that I worry the most about." Weiss stated with a gentle tone. "If you can't handle things from here, let me take the lead."

"...Thank you." Reisen replied with a smile, before they heard the sound of Kaido's men rushing through the area. "...It seems that trouble has found us again. And unlike before, we'll have to fight."

"I'll make sure you make it through." Weiss stated with a determined tone, before the two of them began to traverse the halls, to relocate the CP0 agents.

Meanwhile, Orochi, who had escaped from Cheetah, was hiding as he waited for the Castle to meet its end.

"Come on, Fukurokuju…I need you to escape." he said before the sound of a shamisen could be heard reverberating. "Huh? I know that song." he said following the sound to a small room where sitting there was a woman with green hair dressed in robes. "It cannot be…Komurasaki!? Did…did I die at the hands of that cat demon?"

"Rest your weary head, Lord Orochi. Let my company take away your worries." she said as she continued to play.

"If this is a dream…I never wanna leave." Orochi smiled.

On top of the Skull Dome roof, Luffy, Jexi and Kaido were battling their hearts out. All three of them received blows from each other, Haki and Color Energy surging through the air.

"Gum Gum…Roc Gun!"

"Ultimate Color…Meteor Kick!"

Both attacks landed on Kaido and knocked him down before he got back up.

"Well…I'm starting to have fun." Kaido said.

"What a coincidence…so are we." Jexi said.

"Well…guess I should be getting serious." Kaido said, grabbing a barrel as he drank.

"Are you seriously drinking now?" Jexi asked.

"Like I said…we're having fun!" Kaido said as his face looked flushed.

"You're totally drunk!" Luffy said.

"Better not use that as an excuse when you lose." Jexi said.

"Don't be shtupid…*hic*... I wouldn't make myself weaker. It's a sign that I've accepted you both!" Kaido hiccuped as he laughed. "It's been a long time since I've fought toe to toe like this!" he said, grabbing his club. "Drunken Dragon Bagua!"

In his drunken state, Kaido avoided an attack from Luffy and then followed up with an attack of his own.

"Lightning Hammered: Ragnaraku!" he called, slamming Luffy into the ground with a Haki strike so hard, the roof cracked immensely.

"Ugh…that hurt." Luffy said.

"But…this makes me sad. It took five years to build this place and now it's crumbling down." Kaido cried in dragon form.

"Like we care!" Jexi said going for the strike.

"Just stay away from me, you idiots!" Kaido cried. "Thun…der…Bag…" he said as Jexi landed on the club before landing a strike to Kaido's face.

"Geez…this guy gets nuts when he drinks." Jexi said.

"Just when I'm finally good and drunk…. You sober me up!" Kaido yelled, sadness turning to drunken rage as he fired a Blast Breath right at Jexi, who dodged.

"Gum Gum…"

"Ultimate Color…"

"Kundali…"

"Roc Gatling!"

"Lightning Barrage!"

"Dragon Swarm!"

All three attacked one another, each of them taking damage as the battle continues to rage on.
