6 Down and 9 More left to finish. As you can tell, I put more thought into this story, I been very amateurish on my part. I sometimes get too excited that rushing through them seemed okay without thinking of the consequence of my action. But now it will be better and improved, this chapter will be our starting point where the Straw Hats and Committee must interfere despite the world order in place to save this world.
Along the way, they will encounter ten heartless bosses in the same league of Freaky Monkey 5 Specter has align in the past. They are Called Freakish Shadow 10, an more improve and better version for personal boss fights that the Straw Hats and Committee fight to show off their powers and skills. Our first look at the team calling itself Crimson Ninja leader of the pack is the cool and collected individual in charge. Thanks to Specter he has given the Heartless intelligence for the first time they have existed. Combine with the fact with their minions who are given Pipo Helmets to the Emblem Heartless will make some interesting encounters.
Each Member will have a color theme with their own abilities and skills they excel in their field. When going over these chapter I thought, if the monkeys can gain intelligence through these helmets, why not the heartless as well? Because of the nature of this world, it presents an idea that each world and their own rules will have some effects on the heartless and other enemies like Nobodies or Unversed. This is inspired thanks to Kingdom Hearts 3 and how the creators from Square Enix had done for this year of 2019.
Plus with new stuff coming in for the One Piece, it's going to get crazy once it reaches the next sequel on Galaxy Pirates. And just to clarify I am giving the Straw Hats some abilities similar to Kingdom Hearts gameplay from all the games I know, except for Kingdom Hearts X. That one I feel may take some time to understand it's game mechanics.
Guest review: For the Terminator there is two different meanings base on the words used. When say "terminator" It's for your average robot killing machines, for the words "The Terminator" It is Arnold Schwarzenegger for the main antagonist.

Chapter 6: City of Apes 2 - Monkey Invasion
For our Monkey invaders, they were ordered by Specter to start their full scale invasion. Some of the Monkeys had started to cause havoc on some locations, one of these happens to be the shopping mall where they will meet some world travelers.
"Hey you, hurry it up we got some work to finish." Ordered the Monkey in black pants, sunglass and tie. As this one took charge of his group that he currently has with him. The heartless started to attack people as they are commanded, but this also scared the monkeys how Specter is willingly allows these monsters to just take their hearts and turn them into monsters. What they did is no better then these heartless, to some degree they at least don't go killing people willingly.
currently their is about 70 or more monkeys in the shopping mall as some of their comrades are close by when one of them is in danger. As they minded their own business, the Black pants saw three people standing their watching everything that is happening. Annoyed from bystanders, he gave a warning shot using his machine gun, "I know you don't understand me, but beat it you human scum." Seeing as they weren't paying attention he turn around to leave only to feel his instincts to dodge for some reason. Ready to jump he is knock by some strong force pushing him back pass the monkeys slamming into a wall unconscious. This alerted the rest as every monkey turn to see some crazy ape about to strike them with somehow multiple arms. Luffy is using Gomu Gomu no Gatling striking them without warning as some went unconscious.
"Who is that Monkey?!"
"He's gone bananas!"
"Every Ape, stop him!"
Those with Red Pants ran to attack Luffy for attacking his fellow monkeys, while the yellow pant monkeys ran away scared of this crazy ape attacking. Few had stayed to grab some random items that rocks, glass, or anything they can grab to throw. All the red pant monkeys had gathered ready to pound Luffy for hurting his comrades, not realizing that Luffy is human to start off. Because of his hybrid form they are mistaking him as some monkey, since they can be forgetful creatures it not impossible to imagine forgetting who's on your side and who's your enemy. Since most times they lay round, have fun or cause some mischief when Specter is planning world domination. Seeing himself surrounded, Luffy kept his on guard when they try something.
"Alright pal, what's the big idea attacking your fellow apes?" This made Luffy raise an eyebrow as he doesn't understand how he's the same as them, "Well why did you attack us?" Luffy shot back, almost ready to jump when needed.
"We are attacking the humans, we're defending ourselves from their kind. It's bad enough we are attack by those children, we don't need our own attacking ourselves." Not sure what their talking about, but what Luffy does understand is because his friends are attack for being human. Standing himself straight making he tall as he was human, he gave off this aura that made them unsure and scared of this ape.
"You attack my friends because they are human?!" Luffy shouted with some hint of anger, the monkeys were confused until Luffy punch the nearest ape closet before attacking once more. Afterwards the rest tried to attack Luffy with everything they had, but he manage to dodge them with great agility. Much greater then Luffy could control, but his instincts had guided him to jump around combine with his experience in fights. He used his new found strength to knock out monkeys left and right. They tried fighting back, but couldn't hit him or reach Luffy with his agility. While the monkeys have their fair share of battles, they have never witness some fierce attacks, especially from an ape.
Standing on the sidelines, Nami and Yuffie kept watch since it seemed Luffy had everything handled. Normally Yuffie wouldn't fighting them to help some people, but Nami assisted on Luffy handle this sort of stuff. In their short time together, the Committee had told the Straw Hats that they will be helping people out when it was necessary. That being since they are pirates they most likely would be standing aside watching the events play out. Half of it might be true, but the Straw hats have some decent morals that they are willing to help strangers when necessary. When they make friends with some people, they are willing to fight anyone for has harm their friend.
Currently Nami went back to get her new clothes since they might be going into a fight soon. Which left Yuffie to watch Luffy in case he somehow gets into trouble, for the most part he is about finish as they monkeys obviously had never fought someone as strong as him. This made Yuffie wonder how much does Nami take advantage of the men's willingness to fight?
"Is it soon over?" Nami asked back with her shopping clothes she had brought with the Committee's munny. Since some enemies drop munny around which leads to some cash. Nami had orders the monster trio(Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji), to attack the heartless immediately since that means they get more money then imagine. For the first time in her life, Nami is willing to partake in fights that involve enemies dropping money all round.
"Just about, I didn't think today we be fighting some monkey invasion on this trip. Just shows that there are worlds full of surprise and wonder. If we face some zombie army some point, I don't know what to feel then." Yuffie told Nami as they both watch, or go through some magazines.
"You usually let the guys handle this stuff?" Yuffie asked Nami, it's no secret that Nami is against fighting, especially if money is involve. However Nami seems capable of defending herself, using some of her knowledge in weather with her weapon to control the battle at certain points. Sensing some dark intention, Yuffie brought out her small shuriken striking a heartless that came towards them. Nami grab her staff alongside Yuffie as Heartless types known as Shadows, Wild Power, Bouncy Wild, with their new heartless types, Crazy Apes, Big King, Mafichimp, and Gorobreak. Seeing the heartless appear made more sense then the monkey invasion(no it doesn't).
"Well that's just great, and here I thought the heartless weren't going to be much problem." Nami hope, but since when anything went there way. Ever since joining this pirate crew, about everywhere they went ends up being involve some trouble because of Luffy(Mostly), or the other crew members somehow brought trouble by themselves.
"Relax, you'll get the hang of fighting the heartless, besides... if you defeat them you get big munny for your own-" Unable to finish the sentence, Nami had quickly brought out her staff and started to attacking them since they were ready to strike without warning. With only 3 swings from her staff, Nami manage to take out an Wild Power with little effort and knock some back with surprising strength. Yuffie stared in awe at her strength, only to realize when Nami turn face to face with Yuffie she saw her eyes change.
"Alright, let's bash these heartless." Nami said with her thumb up, as Yuffie realize she had money eyes on her when told about these guys.
"WHAT KIND OF STUPID POWER UP WAS THAT!" Yuffie yelled angry mix with shock by her friends motivation, "Ah the hell with it." Soon the two charge at the heartless who somehow can some emotion for one thought, "Who the hell is that crazy orange hair woman!"
Aerith, Robin, Merlin, Chopper, and Archimedes - Library
While everything is in chaos, those who didn't realize this are Aerith, Robin, Merlin, Chopper, and Archimedes who are enjoying their peaceful times, unaware of their surrounds at the moment. Merlin chose a fantasy book since he is a wizard, and Archimedes resting on his hat. Robin pick a history book alongside with some sci-fi stories she found interesting. Aerith read some romance novel, despite being cheesy at times it is interesting. For Chopper, he pick a medical book for some ideas and a children's book for himself on free time, that and enjoying being with Aerith or Robin when there are quiet times.
Unfortunately, the Monkeys end up ruining their moment of peace alongside the heartless who decides to-
-In less then few seconds hands appeared crushing the heartless either through choking, bashing on their heads, or side swipe them towards the wall. While Robin and Aerith used their magic to put the monkeys to sleep and teleport them somewhere else. All of this without disturbing their relaxation, ironic that the enemies known and feared are easily beaten by a pirate crew and committee members, all which didn't even bother looking or distract themselves from there reading.
Archimedes is rudely awoken by the noise as he look around for the source, "What was that, who was it?", he demanded with Chopper who is also confused by the noise, "Yeah, what was that?" Chopper asked looking around for the source.
"It was the heartless and some of those Monkeys I believe." Robin answered, then slowly put her book down ignoring Chopper and Archimedes cries of surprise.
"Obviously they needed to be taught manners in quiet libraries, and not to destroy books." Robin slowly walk towards outside where the actions I going on, suddenly cries of help in monkey language as Chopper and Archimedes express their fear of Robin's wrath. More so for Archimedes, who is understanding them better as they travel this journey together.
Soon Aerith and Merlin put their books down, expressing their annoyance/anger for those heartless and monkeys destroying the library.
"We better go out their and help Robin discipline those monkeys before they break something else. And for disrupting our moment of peace." Grabbing her weapon, Aerith moved towards the exit as Merlin followed along with his wand in hand.
Sanji, Usopp, and Gullwing - Shore
When Sanji, Usopp and Gullwing had return to where they came from, they were surprise to see the Sunny is no where to be found. Usopp tried to remain calm by saying that they had to find another shore or anything to calm his nerves. However the gullwing crew are not convinced, as they can tell something is wrong, but are panicking among themselves, since their only transport is now gone.
"What the heck happen! Where is Sunny Go, Cid and Franky!" Usopp asked in slow, but shouting way.
"Do you think something bad happen to them?" Rikku asked worried for her friends, while also expressing her other concerns.
"Calm down, we can't be sure what happen. Maybe they went towards shore, but had to land somewhere else." Paine said as voice of reason, although is worried as them.
"Paine right, we can't say what happen. I mean it's not we somehow found trouble because we traveled towards this world." Yuna agreeing with Paine, but has trouble showing since she's almost panicking as Rikku, but in more calmer way.
Usopp's eyes widen and shouted, "That's oddly specific!"
While everyone is too concern, Sanji took the time to analyze the situation once he calm down and thought about it. "What the heck happen? I know Franky would have guard Sunny no matter what, Cid is somewhat Similar to Franky as he would no doubt defend Sunny too. There must be something we missed." Is what Sanji is thinking to himself, before he had more thoughts he saw something in the sky falling towards the ocean in front of them. Normally Sanji would never waste food, but in dire situation he has to think of his friends and safety of others. Grabbing Usopp, he ran towards the closest cover as the Gullwing notice this and followed as Sanji took cover.
"Hey, what the heck was-" Sanji put his finger on his lips saying "Shush" in silence, then pointed towards the ocean as something else fell from the sky. The five are witnessing some weird objects that are used with Franky and Cid defending the ship.
"What are those things?" Yuna asked confused by what those objects are trying to achieve. Sanji decided to follow them as he, Usopp and Gullwing followed right behind sticking close as they try to figure this out.
City Streets - Luffy, Nami and Yuffie
In the Streets, the trio are having better time dealing the heartless and Monkeys at the same time then most would have believed. Nami and Yuffie are proven to have great teamwork, as Yuffie skill as a Ninja are put to the test while fighting both Heartless and Monkeys. In the fight, Yuffie would take care of long range attackers using her shuriken that can be used numerous of times. Thanks to usage of Magic she can infinite amount of shuriken at her disposal, that combine with her combat of quick and surprise attacks she can do this all day.
As for Nami, she is having a field day with her Bo Staff she hasn't used for a while now. Since Usopp had invented a weapon called Clima-tact, then upgraded to Perfect Clima-Tact. She had very little used for the Bo Staff as their enemies got stronger and smarter on their journey. But being in space to another world is already crazy enough. Thanks to Luffy and his antics you can say the crazy train had somehow mentally prepared her for any insane adventures to come. For combat she has her wide range of attacks that allow for multiple attacks at once using the weather in her Clima-Tact.
Together the two had manage to put up not on Luffy's level, but enough to prove their strength against many foes. Speaking of Luffy, he is going ham on them as he pound them smashes through many heartless, with his new abilities thanks to the world magic, has gain monkey like abilities. This has forced the Monkeys to flee for their lives as they couldn't fight someone as crazy as Luffy, or the team work of Nami and Yuffie as they never have encounter such strength in their lives. Not even Spike and his friends were this strong in hand to hand combat.
To make matters worst some of their robots they sent are destroyed by this crazy strength. The heartless are no help as they were taken out one by one, eventually Luffy, Nami and Yuffie are joined by another powerful group. The unfortunate monkeys that encounter then had been humiliated by some of their attacks. For Robin she used her powers to spank the unexpected monkey for destroying books. Merlin would use his fire spells that sometimes hits their butt, running around to find water or splash by his water spells. Aerith would swat them from their heads, hands, feet, and any other place. With Chopper he bash them around using his Heavy Point now called Gorilla point for this world. After the Monkeys left finally gone, it was actually easy to fight off the Heartless.
"Hey Luffy, Nami, Yuffie!" Chopper shouted glad to see them alright, Luffy grin as she ran towards them happy to see his friends.
"Guess we aren't the only ones having trouble." Aerith said with a smile, but also is concern for the people that are dealing with this trouble.
"You know I never thought I see the day where monkeys are supposedly humankind predecessor, are now their worst enemies, what modern mess did this world do to them." Merlin talk to himself having seen much potential for this world, but seeing the monkeys attacking people leaving a disappointment.
"Well, did you except. Not every world is like ours, some of them still have mess of problems before they get their act straight." Archimedes stated, since he has been with Merlin for sometime, it is fair to say he has seen as much as Merlin.
"I wonder why they are doing this, and why they thought I'm a traitors?" Chopper question, earning some looks from the group about what Chopper is talking about.
"What do you mean Chopper." Nami asked, curious about what chopper meant.
"It's just that when they saw me attacking them. They sometimes asked "Why did you attack us you traitor?" I'm a reindeer not a monkey." Chopper whined at the end, sometimes annoyed by people get it wrong when saying he's a raccoon dog or some gorilla.
Robin found this interesting as she took some thought about Chopper's question, "It maybe possible, but the magic that has given us new form and our clothes. Has now allow you to appear more monkey then normal animal. While Doctor-san has always the ability to communicate with animals, they may have mistaken you as one of their allies. It wouldn't be hard to imagine that all monkeys are on the same side, is that right Luffy?" Some are confused by what she means, until Merlin snap his fingers in realization.
"That's right, out of all of us. Only Luffy and Chopper seemed to appear as monkeys then us, people. Which also means they have ability to communicate with the monkeys." Merlin said with excitement.
Yuffie remembered Luffy's conversation back at the mall, coming towards the same conclusion as Merlin, "That's right, Luffy manage to talk with the monkeys because he appears as one."
"Precisely, but unfortunately that doesn't help us since we have no idea of their plans." Merlin said with a sigh.
"What the heck are those thing?" Luffy shouted and pointed at the objects in surprise, as everyone turn to see objects floating above them, some started to float above building the circling around them and other buildings in some dome. Some people that went to hiding are trap within the domes, but those outside are left alone with monkeys and heartless causing chaos all around them. Eventually one of the close by buildings started to disappear into data as the people screamed in panic, the straw Hats stared in shock unable to do anything as the people are slowly disappearing along with the building.
When it was all said and done, the straw Hats and committee had no time to think as the heartless and monkeys had time to recovered to fight once more. Getting themselves ready the committee and straw hats prepare themselves for battle, since their is more to be done.
Professor's Laboratory - Professor, Natalie, and Aki
With what has been going on near the city, the three Professor, Natelie, and Aki have to barricade the doors and windows as Apes came towards their location, not only that some of the heartless are fighting along side them as they are join to strike the Professor's laboratory. Ever since they haven't heard a word from Casi and others such as Spike, Jimmy, Kei, Yumi or anyone. This made Aki more worried then the other two as her niece and nephew could be hurt or... she didn't want to think the other possibility.
"How could thing have gone wrong so quickly, before Specter wasn't this... violent. But now, who knows what he'll do." Professor said expressing his worries, seeing this much destruction from Specter and his new allies is somewhat disturbing.
"We were unprepared, normally everything works out in our favor since this was Specter, but now..." Natalie couldn't finish, too shock by the destruction as the news broadcast their invasion.
"Maybe it will work out like last time." Aki said gaining their attention, "Perhaps what we are experiencing is completely different from before. But maybe things will work out the same." Sensor's went off, changing the screen to show the heartless and monkeys are shown standing outside their front gates waiting around doing nothing.
"They stop?" Professor said in utter confusion, "I don't understand, this is not his usual tactic, what is Specter planning?"
"Professor Look." The screen change to show some objects floating towards them. This surprise them as they have never seen such technology before, but are curious as to what purpose do they serve. Just as they were floating above them, an dome like energy field covered the entire laboratory. They soon were surrounded by Bug Blox who are preventing them from escaping.
"What are those things?!" Before anyone can answer a blinding light covering the entire room, but soon died down as something smash right above them and the Bug Blox disappeared. This left them confused by this strange event as if someone was watching over them.
Few minutes earlier
Outside where the heartless and monkeys surround the laboratory Sanji, Usopp and Gullwing are watching this up close away from the heartless and monkeys from seeing them.
"What the heck are those things?" Yuna said in awe and scared, ever since they followed them some split up towards different parts of the city.
"Not sure, but I'm not letting them do whatever they want, Usopp!" Facing Sanji, he continued, "I need you to distract them long enough for me to smash that thing and help the people inside." Sanji ordered, Usopp wanted to question this action, but decide to go along as there was no time to talk. Taking aim, Usopp shot some explosion that blasted the monkeys and heartless apart from each other. Turning around they saw Usopp with his slingshot and gullwing weakly wave back. Enrage by their surprise attack, they charge at them as many Heartless wanted them beaten, while the monkeys held their ground surprisingly.
Sanji with great speed and agility jump high enough to reach the devices and started to kick them one by one destroying them. Saving the last one for the monkeys as he land on the dome and jump high up upside down with his one leg ready to kick.
Tender Shoot
In split second he shot the device at the monkeys faster then any tank round that results in them scattering about. Some of the monkeys shouted orders for the heartless to attack Sanji, but with impressive quick team up from Usopp and Gullwing. They were distracting them with Usopp finding a way to sneak around without them realizing it and shooting his surprise attacks. Gullwing using their size and ability to fly had the heartless bash into one another or attack their comrades by mistake. Unable to access the situation, the monkeys and heartless were taken out once Sanji used his attacks on them.
Specter's Hideout - Thrown Room
In his base, Specter watch as his minion both Ape and Heartless alike attack all the cities around the world. In such short time, his new allies the Heartless had made quick work on the military and governments as they had no idea how to counter these creatures. While not technically alive, they still are creatures who came from Realm of Darkness and has transform people into heartless themselves.
The room itself is design with a rectangle table that can have up to 30 people sitting together. The chair he sits will be his personal moving thrown when he rules the world, and in front of the table is a large doorway that is the only entrance to this room. This is for his new and possibly more members for his organization, as thanks to the powers of Darkness, he can not only control people with stronger telepathic powers, but can enhance himself if he wanted too. His new comrades have warned him the dangers of darkness. For in order to used these dark powers, he must grow greater resistance and understand of these powers. No doubt from experience when they were mindless creatures have consume people that are careless in these dark powers.
Which is why as he sits, Specter is taking deep breaths as he now realize how powerful the darkness is and how one wrong move can end his life. When combine with his telepathic powers, he gain some headaches from using them recklessly. But has succeed in what he achieve, now he has new comrades at his beck and call.
"Man... these powers are awesome, but I better learn how to used them right. I won't make the same mistake as those foolish humans that have used the darkness before. I'll show them what a true master of darkness can achieve. Combine them with Telepathic powers, I can have them do my bidding. Is that right Spike?" Specter said as he turn to face his new allies. The kids who once saved the world are now controlled by his powers, not only that the dark aura surrounding them as given them new personalities and powers that represents their dark half's.
"Yes Master, I'm glad I can finally be myself for once. Always caring for others instead of yourself is so irritating and dumb. I wish you had discovered these powers before you tried taking over the world." Spike comment with an sinister grin as he raised his palm showing his dark powers.
Specter couldn't help, but smirk as he impressed himself with his work, "I must admit, these powers really did wonders on your new selves. Although some annoying, I can say we are finally best friends, just the way it was meant to be." Soon all eyes were towards the door as both Franky and Cid are tied up from their capture. Franky gave the Monkeys some hassle since he refuses to calm down, even the heartless are struggling in contain him. Alongside them are Specter's heartless comrades from Freakish Shadow 10.
One is fat with a lot of orange skin, but some form of clothes covering only the chest and a sumo style underwear. Despite it's size, the arms and legs appeared to have combination of both muscle and fat, with green hair tied in a long pony tail almost touching the ground. This individual is female as she is about 6 foot 11 inches tall, weighing over 500 pounds of muscle and fat. Her face is all brown with razer teeth and yellow eyes with an heartless symbol on her bandana, her name is Pumpkin Bomb.
The next individual is smaller then her carry what appears as a Sniper Gun in his hand. Appearing more monkey then his other comrades, wearing a green vest with pockets filled of bullets for different guns. Since he is more monkey decides to not wear pants or underwear, but is not bother since he's technically an creatures of darkness. His skin is mostly yellowish-gold, with his tail dangling an machine gun at the end. Wears green sunglass, always showing his serious expression if he had his mouth. His gun in particular has yellow covering most of his gun and black part inside it, but soon transform into a pistol as he place it in his pocket. This one is name Lemon Shot.
"Hey let us out you bastard." Having enough of Franky's rebellious nature, Specter used his dark powers to grab him and shot an dark fist towards the ceiling as Franky has to endure the pain while grasp under it's palm.
"I hope you remain quiet, otherwise I have to dispose of you." Specter warned as Franky's body endured the punishment that Specter had attempt.
"I'm guessing your the one in charge." Cid demand, not that he was in any position.
"If I said yes, what are you intending to do then? You forget I'm in-charge and if you don't tell me what I need to know, you will suffer." Specter warn the two men.
Franky simply grin at Specter's threat, "We tell you, only if you tell us." Specter grab Franky once more, slamming his body towards the ceiling.
"Ah wise guy huh, you won't feel this way once I'm through with you, like my new friends." At once Specter's new friends came forth in order Spike, Jimmy, Kei, Yumi, Pipotchi, Helga, Casi, and Pipo Snake.
Cid seems to notice something off about these people, the dark aura around them seemed to flow with great power. That is when Cid realize that these people aren't doing this by their own will.
"The darkness, it has consume you. Your not in control of your actions, these heartless are using you-" before he could say more, Lemon Shot kick him at his head, forcing him to be quiet from speaking.
"Nice try, but I believe these heartless are my ticket to finally claiming this world as my own. With the city distracted by the commotion, I can finally enact my plans." Specter said going into his monologue as if he has won the battle.
"You see, I have learn from my mistakes this time. And now I have all the former heroes under my control, I had the monkeys attack the entire world on purpose with no plan or action in mind. This is because my real plans relied on these heartless to help my cause. Because I learn from them that their are more then our worlds that have monkey kind being enslave by mankind all over this galaxy and possibly the universe. This has force me to think bigger then I would have thought possible. I mean, other worlds similar to this planet, and monkeys being defenseless against mankind. I had to do something about that, if this world is going to be one of many worlds fallen victim to humanity's oppression, then I have to think bigger.
That's why with their help, I we now have the means to travel to different worlds. By using our own prototype called "Data streams" using a new form of technology, we're able to transform real life objects into data. Which is what you two were inside of that time, then once we complete this we will used the datascape as we call it, we'll be able to access other worlds that are full of technology in order to build ourselves to travel across the worlds. Which is why using these prototypes I will force humanity of this world into living prisons inside a computer turned into data like cages. Then once we have all the information, we'll then reform this planet(and possibly repopulate) into our monkey kingdom, and then travel the stars to conquer all worlds in the name for monkeykind." Finishing his monologue, Specter laugh like a madman as Franky and Cid look at him like he grew two heads.
"That's SUPER insane, how do you plan on conquer all the worlds if you don't know how many their are anyway?" Franky demanded, which silent Specter turning to face Franky in seriousness.
"What makes you think this will only be for monkeys?" Specter question making the two confused by his words. That is until Cid realize what he means as his eyes widen in horror.
"I see the gears are turning, that's right the heartless are also helping me with this project, and soon I will have this world and many others in my grasp. Using the power of darkness, the heartless will obey my every whim and conquer the worlds for me as I see fit." Specter then demonstrated his power as darkness grew in incredible rate that would have consume any average people.
"Hey, hey, hey your being used. If what googles and his friends have said about these heartless are true, then they will consume you and your monkeykind into darkness, and you'll become like these fellows here. You'll be no better then the humans that have used them before you." Specter once more used his powers to drag Franky to him face to face as his darkness grew dangerously high.
"You think I'm a human! I'll show you what my powers can do and prove that monkeys are superior to all humans!" Specter then threw him back slamming him against the wall as Specter plan to finish them here and now.
Suddenly the doors opened wide as some Monkeys who are beaten and bruised all over their bodies. Their are at least 7 of them that came, with only 2 remain standing as their bodies are exhausted beyond reasoned. Specter's eyes widen at his comrades damage bodies, but is more furious as his gut feeling tells him somebody is interfering with his plans.
"WHAT HAPPEN, WHO DID THIS!" Specter shouted his demand, his own dark powers grew with his rage sensing his desires. The Monkeys began to be fearful of Specter, but regardless one of them being carried by his fellow ape, spoke in his language, "We're unsure ourselves Specter, we were following the plan as ordered. But someone attack us, they didn't use nets or gadgets like these human. These humans manage to beat our forces even with the help of the heartless. We didn't what to do so some of us retreated, and some stayed to fight. But that's not all, there is a traitor Specter, an ape attack us for attacking the humans, he defended them."
Without warning his comrade is thrown off as some hand made of darkness appeared underneath them, grabbing the ape that spoke. The ape vanish and reappeared in front of Specter with an vice grip strong as a bear.
"What ape?" Specter asked again calmly, with dangerously high pressure from his powers.
The poor monkey, could barely speak as he sweat under Specter's intimidating gaze filled with hate and rage. It didn't help that the darkness enhance his hatred, almost like some burning furnace. Since gaining these dark powers, Specter has been more aggressive and more violent to his minions then he normally would.
Gulping his spit, he spoke stuttering, "... I-I said... it was an Ape. H-H-He defended his human friends. It was unreal, his body would stretch and would beat us with strange moves that are hard to defend against. This ape is somehow able to fight like an ape with Human skills. Not only that another ape is helping the humans with the ability to transform into any form of monkeys he desire. They beat us up and their human friends." The Monkey cried in pain as Specter darkness grew uncontrollable rate. He squeezed the Monkey and roughly threw the ape at the wall next to his comrades. Those who got up ran to their comrades, helping him up now more terrified of Specter's power.
"Their names... TELL ME THE NAMES OF THESE APES!" Specter Shouted as his dark powers grew fueled by his rage.
I have to admit one of the most hardest thing with these fights against the heartless is Usopp fighting style. When these encounters happen, it's hard to determine how this would work out for him. This is because a lot of his tactics replies on more people the monster. The heartless are creatures made of pure darkness, with only instinct is to capture hearts and make more heartless. That's where Usopp fighting style makes this hard.
Because he used lying as a tactic or tricking his enemies into believing his lies. Lot of this wouldn't work to well on the heartless, which is where I hope to expand his arsenal as he travels to different worlds. Which you have to admit for someone who is one of the weaker crew members in psychical strength, he can adapt through inventing new ways to fighting styles, and has at times come on top. Especially against average guys things days.
