Chapter 279: Arc 17: Dashing! The Righteous O-Soba Mask!
"This is the perfect time to transform." Sangoro grinned.
"What is that?" Page One looked on interestedly. "Is it a can or something?"
"He should've forgotten about the town." Law tsked.
"What is he gonna do?" Usohachi wondered.
"I think that's Germa's..." Franosuke frowned.
"Even if I put this on, I won't allow myself to become like Germa." Sangoro retorted. "I'll at least try it on."
"If you don't start, I'm gonna attack you." Page One growled.
"We're about to fight a Yonkou." Sangoro declared. "Perhaps my stubbornness will get in the way of saving someone. Maybe I can save someone if I swallow my pride."
"Stop talking gibberish." Page One swung his tail at Sangoro.
"If this thing gives me that much power." Sangoro dodged the attack by jumping into the air. "Here I go." he put on his Raid Suit.
"What are you doing?" Page One asked, the transformed Sangoro landed on a nearby roof. "You just changed in the air?"
"He transformed?" Franosuke went starry-eyed. "It's just super!"
"Cool!" even Usohachi was gushing. "How did it work?"
"Wait." Law voiced. "I know that costume form somewhere. Oh yeah, but... why does he have that suit? Without a doubt, it belongs to the enemy of Sora, Warrior of the Sea. The No. Three member of the evil enemy, Germa 66: Stealth Black."
"And how do you know so much?" Sangoro snapped.
"Of course I do." Law retorted. "Everyone from the North Blue knows."
"Whatever." Sangoro scoffed. "Listen, don't ever call me Germa. Understood?"
"I was a legitimate fan who supported Sora, Warrior of the Sea." Law deathpanned. "I hated Germa, those despicable villains."
"I hated them, too!" Sangoro barked.
"Hey you." Page One cut in. "You're not an ordinary soba cook. Identify yourself."
"I am..." Sangoro twitched. "O-s=Soba Mask!" he posed.
"Did you say O-Soba Mask?" Page One growled. "Don't mess with me."
Sangoro used his Raid Suit's floating device to dodge Page One's headbutt.
"Where did he go?" Page One looked around for his opponent. "He's floating in midair."
"I have no doubt," Law was certain. "That's Germa's scientific technology: the power of the devices on their feet to float."
"That's just child's play!" Page One fumed, Sangoro landed back on the ground and the Spinosaurus came at the blonde cook with his mouth open.
Using his Raid Suit's accelerators, Sangoro avoided getting bitten. Moving in midair, he ran circles around his much larger opponent, before shifting right in front of Page One and delivering a kick straight under his chin. The shockwave sent Page One to the ground.
"In the heels of Germa 66's special suits, there are acceleration devices." Law explained.
With a flick of his tail, Page One got back to his feet. "Your attacks are so annoying,and they piss me off." he growled and shot towards Sangoro.
Sangoro then lifted his cape to block out the outstretched claw.
"Germa 66's capes can turn into solid shields." Law related.
"I know your moves." Page One was not impressed when Sangoro took to the air to dodge his attack. "You can't attack me like you did before. I won't let you get away now." he shot up into the air at Sangoro, claws outstretched. "He disappeared?" he gaped when Sangoro vanished from sight. "People can't just disappear. Where is he? Where did he go?" he landed back on the ground.
The invisible Sangoro had also landed on the ground; taking advantage of his invisibility, he shot towards Page One and landed a straight kick to the Spinosaurus' stomach.
"That's the special ability of Germa 66's Stealth Black.." Law frowned as the group watched Sangoro literally pummel Page One. "He becomes invisible by projecting the background around his body. Even Sora, the Warrior of the Sea, had quite a hard time with him."
"Which side are you on?" Franosuke retorted.
"I mean, how do you know so much?" Usohachi was confused.
"Everyone from the North Blue knows." Law fired back.
"An invisible man?" Page One shrunk in size and jumped back into the fight. "There's something fishy about you. Who the hell are you? It should be easier for me to fight in this form. I was gonna work you over, but I guess I'd better just kill you. I'll kill you and tear off that mask. Give yourself away."
Sangoro met the extended claw with a kick. Easily dodging Page One's second claw attack, he turned himself invisible to escape Page One's tail swat.
In Orochi Castle...
Orobi and Sahiko snuck into the castle's storage room and started digging around.
"Are you two looking for something?" Daikoku asked. "You shouldn't have done anything suspicious since ninja were here." he drawled, the two women found themselves cornered by the Orochi Oniwabanshu. "How ridiculous."
"Don;t you know who ninja are?" Chome mocked.
"They could be from overseas." Jigoku Benten suggested.
"Oh well, you two are quite troublesome ladies." Fukurokuju opened a side door. "I give you a chance to explain. But you get only one."
"Our deepest apologies." Sahiko spoke. "Unfortunately, we cannot abide to that request." her eyes hardened and she knocked the Orochi Oniwabanshu out with a wave of Divine Haki.
With Stealth Black and Page One...
Still dodging Page One's attacks, Sangoro blocked out the Spinosaurus' punch with a kick.
Grabbing Sangoro by the ankle, Page One tossed the Black Leg user into a shop.
"The Ancient Type power users are so powerful." Law admitted. "But it's not enough to beat Stealth Black."
"All right." Page One grinned. "Let's deliver his dead body to Boss Kyoshiro."
Taking to the air, Stealth Black spun around to gain momentum and landed the critical blow on Page One. Not allowing his opponent any reprieve, he ended the fight by kicking Page One into a shop. "Shooting Star: Soba Kick!" he landed the finishing blow on Page One and escaped via the sky.
SailorStar9: Any OOC-nes is regretted. *Sighs* Don't you just hate plot bunnies sometimes? Reviews are much appreciated.
