The Straw Hats Watch Death Battle

by Isom

After escaping Thriller Bark, the Straw Hats rescue a man who fell from the sky, and we don't mean Skypiea. Who is this man...and what is that mysterious box he is carrying? I do not own any One Piece characters, or anyone portrayed fighting to the death. Rated for blood, violence, and foul language...mostly from Boomstick. Enjoy!

3. Zoro vs Erza

I own nothing.

I've seen plenty of these around so I decided, what the heck why not give them a shot.

All character of One Piece don't belong to me.

The characters Wizard, aka Wiz, Boomstick, and Jocelyn the intern, their images, and everything that revolves around them are all owned by Screwattack. Hope that you all enjoy.

I would like to thank those who have given me some feedback, some things to think about, and potential death battles as well as potential changes.

Now for some of the requests

Cinder vs Human Torch: Maybe, I'll given this one some though

Sans vs Shedinja: No, I don't have it in me to go through the whole pokemon ninja thing. Way too much math.

Yusuke Urameshi vs Rick Taylor: No…too ridiculous even more death battle standards

Deadshot vs Widowmaker: Yes, a fight between assassins would be fun to write and to watch

Scyther vs Levi Ackerman: Again, no pokemon

The scout vs Misaki Yata: again maybe

Pyro vs Magmortar: You should know my answer.

Dredd vs Punisher: I can already see Boomstick drooling

Cloud vs Noctis Lucis Caelum: This could be fun

I would also like thank Richmaster for his support and for the ideas he gave me for this battle.

Also, to one of my reviewers, I did it pre-timeskip because it would be interesting to see how this would effect. How would it effect their two years of training, and how would they react to certain events.

Chapter 3: A contestant is one of our own?!

Everyone just stared at the screen, waiting for the episode to finish loading. Just moments ago, they had learned that one of the contestants would be one of their own members, Roronoa Zoro. Zoro himself seemed interested in this especially, which made sense. He began to wonder just who would be strong enough to face off against him in a fight?

After waking Brook up from his fainting spell from the last episode, they pressed next on the screen and they began to watch.

Wiz said, "The swordsman, a warrior whose legend has withstood the test of time."

Boomstick nodded at his cohost and said, "I agree with that Wiz. There's nothing quite like the sound of metal slicing through the air, clashing with more metal, and the sight of sparks raining on the ground is enough to make a grown man shed a tear at the sheer beauty of it."

Wiz gave his cohost a strange look and said, "Well…todays contestants take the use of swords and turn it into an absolute art form. Roronoa Zoro, the Straw Hat Pirate's santoryu master."

Boomstick then said, "Yeah, but don't forget the beautiful Erza Scarlet, queen of the fairies."

There was a moment of silence before Luffy busted out laughing.

"They have your fighting against a fairy," the rubber boy laughed, "That is so lame!"

Zoro growled and said, "Oh, shut up rubber boy! She's probably tough if she's on this show!"

Sanji growled, "Moss head, if you harm a single hair on her head I will roast you alive!"

"I'm Boomstick and that's Wizard," Boomstick started.

Wiz finished, "And it's our job to analyze their weapons armor and skills to find out who would win a death battle."

The group sat back as they began to watch what would prove to be an interesting episode.

Wiz said, "A long time ago, there was a boy who had a simple dream…to become the best swordsman in the world."

Boomstick said, "He left behind his old life to do so, eventually coming across a dojo in Shimotsuki village, located in the East Blue. There he was trained by its master in the art of the sword. Well, not really trained. He just showed up, kicked the ass of everyone there, and then just…kind of stuck around."

As they spoke, they showed clips of Zoro training as a child.

"Awe, you looked so cute back then, Zoro," Robin cooed at seeing the younger Zoro.

"So that's what Zoro looked like as a kid," Usopp said, "I thought for sure he would be taller."

Other similar comments were said by the others. Zoro, however, grumbled and simply ignored the others.

'I would like to know where they got this footage, though,' Zoro said.

Wiz said, "Kind of true. He did defeat everyone there, even the older students. However, there was one that he could never beat, the dojo master's own daughter, Kuina."

They showed clips of Zoro fighting Kuina and getting his butt whooped every single time.

"What? There was someone that Zoro couldn't beat?!" Chopper yelled, having seen some of Zoro's skills in action.

On the outside Zoro was stoic, not showing any emotion whatsoever. However, inside he felt a small sense of nostalgia as he saw his oldest friend and rival.

The rest of the crew glanced at the man and wondered just what kind of relationship the two had. This would explain why Zoro didn't give a female fighter any quarter.

Luffy was thinking of finding this woman and adding her to the crew.

Boomstick said, "He dueled the girl over 2000 times…and he lost all 2000 times! Seriously how the hell does that work? He could have won at least once."

Wiz said, "Well, like the renowned scientist Thomas Edison said, "I did not fail, I found two thousand ways not to make a lightbulb." My guess is that from each of his losses Zoro steadily improved, finding ways to improve his stance, style, or some other thing that would lead to his downfall."

"Who?" Robin asked, cocking her head at the scientist bit, confused.

Sanji laughed out loud and said, "So much for the unstoppable swordsman huh?"

He didn't get a chance to laugh, however, as he was suddenly slammed hard in the jaw. Surprisingly, it wasn't Zoro, while he was preparing to clock the perverted cook, it was Luffy.

Luffy glared down at the cook and said, "Don't go mocking old friends, Sanji. Besides, I doubt you were such a tough fighter when you were that age."

Sanji was about to say something, but decided against it. He nursed his head and got back in his chair, feeling a dark glare at his back from moss head.

Wiz continued, "You'd think that he'd resent her, but this wasn't the case. Kuina became Zoro's idol, the fighter he wanted to defeat above all else. After their 2001st duel, using live swords, they each made a promise. They would both become as strong as possible and then, they would meet, and have their final duel to see who would become the most powerful swordsman, or swordswoman, in the world."

"Wow," Luffy said, "She sounds awesome! She would have made a great member of the crew."

"Yeah," Usopp said, "Two badass sword users instead of just one! It would be awesome!"

As the others conversed they didn't notice the grim expression that came over Zoro's face briefly before taking a stoic look again.

The ever-observant Robin had noticed and immediately felt a bad feeling sink into her stomach.

Boomstick dramatically exclaimed, "It would be the battle of the century, a duel for the ages. It would be the greatest duel of Zoro's life."

He became somber and then said, "It was a duel…that would never come to pass."

All the members of the crew, save Zoro, looked confused at that remark. They looked at Zoro with confusion before the hosts continued.

Wiz said, "The day after their final duel, Kuina had to go down a flight of stairs to get a whet stone so that she could sharpen the swords she and Zoro used in their duel. In the process, she fell down the stairs, broke her neck, and died."

Boomstick pulled out a beer can and said, "Here's to you, Kuina. A potential female badass, having gone out before she could become awesome."

The man then cracked the can open and drank it.

Everyone gasped in horror as they heard that. Everyone looked at Zoro, who looked upset at the memory.

"Oh, that poor girl," Brook said, "A flower nipped in the bud before she could truly begin to bloom…wait…she had to get a stone to sharpen the swords."

Nami quickly put two and two together and said, "Oh my god…"

The others seemed to get it almost immediately, except for Luffy.

"What?" the captain asked, "I don't get it."

Zoro clenched his hand around his bottle and said, "If I hadn't convinced her to duel me with real swords that night, she wouldn't have died."

With that last word, Zoro crushed the bottle in his hand. Feelings of anger and resentment run through him. Even to this day, a part of him still blamed himself for the death of Kuina.

Zoro, however, was surprised when Robin sat next to him and put a comforting arm around him. He looked shocked for a moment before giving the woman a small smile.

Off to the side, Sanji was grinding his teeth to the point they almost cracked as he saw his beloved Robin put her arm around moss head.

Wiz said, "Driven by anger at Kuina's unfair death, Zoro took up her sword and began training to become a master swordsman. He trained with Kuina's father for years before setting out on his journey to take on the strongest swordsman in the world, Dracule Mihawk."

Name: Roronoa Zoro

Height: 5'11

Date of Birth: November 11

Current Bounty: 320,000,000 belli

Former bounty hunter, current sword master/first mate of Straw Hat Pirates

Inventor of Santoryu (Three Sword Style)

No sense of direction…seriously.

Usopp raised an eyebrow at the information.

"Wait a minute, the bounty is wrong," the sniper said, "Zoro only has a hundred and sixty million as a bounty."

Everyone looked at each other in surprise before looking at the screen again. They gasped in realization as they saw that Zoro's bounty was apparently double then what it was now.

"Hey, what does that mean?" Luffy asked, his head cocked to the side in confusion.

Sanji scoffed and said, "There's no way that moss head's bounty can be that high. It's absolutely ridiculous."

Zoro smirked at his rival and asked, "Why? Because the gap keeps widening?"

Sanji grumbled under his breath and managed to keep himself.

Boomstick said, "Unfortunately, he got lost, so with nothing else to do with his life, he became a bounty hunter, earning a bounty of a hundred and twenty million, and a reputation so fierce, the mere mention of his name when people heard it."

They showed a clip of Luffy and Coby in a town and they mention Zoro and the townspeople all freak out.

Luffy chuckled and said, "That was a fun day."

"Wasn't that that Coby kid from Water 7?" Franky asked, recognizing the purple haired boy.

Luffy shrugged and said, "Yeah, Coby was a bit of wuss back then, but he can be pretty tough when he wants to be, especially after grandpa started training him."

Zoro mumbled, "Can't say the same about Helmeppo."

Boomstick continued, "He was so badass, even the Baroque works crime organization tried to hire him."

"Wait, you were almost hired by Crocodile's old organization in Alabasta?!" Nami yelled.

Zoro shrugged and said, "Wasn't interested, so I told him to scram. Too bad he didn't listen."

Robin glanced at Zoro and realized something. A member of the organization had been killed on a recruiting mission. She was surprised by this as she didn't know it was Zoro who did the killing. A part of her wondered what would have been different if Zoro had joined. She imagined Zoro getting lost on the way to meetings, showing up late, irritating Crocodile, but easily being able to bash down some of the members.

Her thoughts were matched by the members of the crew, especially the weakling trio, who turned pale at the thought of fighting Zoro.

"Eventually," Wiz said, "Zoro wound up in Shells Town, where he was arrested by Axe Hand Morgan and his son, Helmeppo. After Zoro saved a girl by killing Helmeppo's pet wolf, he was sentenced to be tied to a stake for a month in return for amnesty."

Boomstick said, "Big surprise, the marines lied and tried to kill Zoro after only nine days. Thankfully, Zoro was saved by our resident rubber boy, Monkey D. Luffy, and became his first recruit into the Straw Hat pirates."

"So that's how Zoro joined the crew," Usopp said, "I always wondered that."

Nami nodded and said, "Yeah, he even had the strength to fight after being tied to a stake for nine days."

Brook said, "Wow, Zoro truly is a man of great conviction."

Chopper glanced at the swordsman with his respect for him rising even higher.

Sanji glanced at Zoro as he felt some respect for Zoro. The man went for nine days without food or water, no doubt the green haired swordsman had been starving, something that Sanji wouldn't wish on his worst enemy.

Robin smiled at Zoro's selfless act and when the others turned back to the screen, briefly planted her lips on the green haired man's cheek. Zoro didn't openly react, but he did raise an eyebrow.

Sanji felt the sudden urge to murder Zoro.

Boomstick continued, "And with a guy like this, I can see why he wants him in his crew.

Arsenal and skills

Santoryu Fighting Style

Swords

-Wado Ichimonji: means Straight Road to Harmony, formerly belonged to Kuina, one of the 21 O Wazamono grade swords

-Sandai Kitetsu: Third Generation Demon Piercer, sharp sword, supposedly cursed

-Shusui: means Clear Autumn Water, formerly belonged to Ryuma, another of the 21 O Wazamono grade sword

Strong enough to lift buildings

Incredibly durable

Wiz said, "Zoro uses his own personal swords style, santoryu literally meaning Three sword Style. This style mixes techniques involving one, two, and, obviously, three swords. One in both hands, and his third in his mouth…which can't be considered safe."

Boomstick laughed at his cohost and said, "Oh please, Wiz, bad asses don't care about safety. Watch as I demonstrate with these three handguns!"

"Wait what?" everyone asked at the same time.

Boomstick wasn't kidding. He took out three hand guns, he put the handle of on in his mouth, with his tongue right on the trigger, ready to pull it.

Wiz slowly back away as he said, "Uh…Boomstick, I don't think that's sa-"

The smarter of the two was cut off when the handgun in Boomstick's mouth went off, the recoil knocking the gun lover back and making him fall over. Wiz dived down to the side, knocking over the camera in the process, giving them a good view of the ceiling, the sound of more gunshots rang out.

The screen went black the words "We are experiencing technical difficulties. Please be patient…"

The crew was silent for a moment and then they all burst out laughing.

The group managed to calm down after a few minutes. When Brook turned to his fellow sword user.

"Excuse me, Zoro," he said, "I must admit I am curious…before Boomstick's blunder…they mentioned the titles of your swords…what do they mean?"

Zoro smiled as he moved forward slightly and drew Sandai Kitetsu and Shusui.

Zoro brandished Sandai Kitetsu and explained, "The third-generation part mean's it is the third out of three generations…making it the weakest, called Wazamono, with shodai ichimonji, first generation demon piercer, being the strongest. They were all forged by a man named Kitetsu, a skill sword maker. Unfortunately, these types of swords tend to be cursed, killing those who wield them as opposed to their opponents."

"Cursed!?" Nami yelled, "You used my money to buy a cursed sword?!"

Sanji growled, "How dare you waste Nami's money on such a thing!"

Zoro rolled his eyes and said, "Relax, my luck is greater than some stupid curse."

Usopp asked, "How do you know that?"

Zoro shrugged and said, "I threw it into the air and held my arm out."

Everyone just stared at the man for a few moments before simply putting it under the Zoro is insane file. Usopp still flinched slightly at the thought of Zoro cutting of his hand so he could fight that CP9 Giraffe guy.

Zoro sheathed the cursed sword and withdrew Wado Ichimonji and Shusui before saying, "These are O Wazamono grade swords. They are a step up from Sandai Kitetsu. These are of a higher grade however, they aren't as strong as other swords…like Mihawks."

The smarter members of the crew understood. The dumber ones, not so much. They just nodded their heads like they understood.

Boomstick rolled his, no doubt sore, jaw and said, "Zoro's gone through a lot of swords over time, but his most recent set has to be his strongest. This includes the cursed sword Sandai Kitetsu, Kuina's former sword Wado Ichimonji, and Shusui, which he won of the zombie Samurai, Ryuma."

Wiz looked impressed and said, "Wow Boomstick, you got all those words right. Your language skills are improving."

Boomstick chuckled before wincing and rubbing his mouth.

Zoro smirked glad to see that Boomstick didn't mutilate the names of his swords.

The others were now beginning to realize that Zoro had some high-quality swords on his waist. It also made Nami glad that he didn't buy them as they probably would have cost a lot of cash to pay for the all.

Wiz said, "Awesome swords are just the beginning however. Zoro possessed inhuman strength, speed, and durability. Taking a ton of damage, dishing out even more, and even fighting while seriously injured. For example, he fought against Hatchan, an octopus fishman wielding six swords, each weighing 300 kilograms, that's nearly 4000 pounds total, after being brutally injured by Dracule Mihawk, the same guy he tried to defeat, a short time prior."

Boomstick said, "Damn! Talk about an iron will! And that's not a one-time thing either. Zoro trains his mind by mediating and his body, lifting several hundred pounds of weight like their nothing despite having been brutally injured beforehand. AND HE DOES THIS EVERY DAMN DAY! No wonder he's part of the monster trio. If I could lift portions of buildings while severely injured, I'd be considered a monster too."

Everyone turned and stared at Zoro with shocked amazement while some of the others looked scared as they were reminded why Zoro was considered one of the toughest members of their crew. It lasted only a few moments before Chopper suddenly shot forward and smashed the samurai over the head.

"YOU IDIOT! YOU FOUGHT AND TRAINED AFTER BEING SERIOUSLY INJURED!? YOU COULD HAVE MADE YOUR INJURIES EVEN WORSE, DAMN IT!"

Zoro grumbled at the small doctor continued to rant and rave at the man. The others chuckled at seeing the tough pirate getting chewed out by a small adorable reindeer. After Chopper was finished they all turned back to the screen.

Brook's eyes lingered on the man and was really considering going to the man for sword fighting tips to see if he could find a way to increase the power behind his fencing skills.

Wiz continued, "Zoro is also insanely fast. He can react fast enough to block bullets and move faster than the human eye can track. One of his greatest feats of speed, had to be in Whiskey Peak. While being attacked by a small village full of Baroque Work assassins, Zoro moved at least 57 feet in 4.5 milliseconds…nearly nine thousand miles an hour"

Boomstick added, "That's five times faster than a bullet."

Again, everyone slowly turned towards Zoro with shocked expression, jaws on the ground and eyes popping out.

Zoro just had his eyebrow cocked as he had no idea that he it was moving that fast.

Sanji mumbled something under his breath about moss head trying to make him look weak to Nami and Robin and made an oath to get stronger.

Wiz continued, "Zoro takes all of this strength and skill, and combines it all into is santoryu sword style.

Santoryu fighting stye

ittoryu (one sword style)

nitoryu (Two sword Style

Santoryu (three sword style)

Kyutoryu (nine sword style)

Mutoryu (no sword style)

Iai (re-sheath techniques)

Wiz explained, "Zoro's moves utilize one swords, two swords, three swords, or in at least one case no swords. Given his unique style, he is its only practitioner and he has moves so unique, only he can perform them."

"Jeez," he said, "makes me wonder just what else you can do."

Boomstick said, "His Lion Song technique is strong enough to slash through steel, and, as previously stated his Rashomon technique can slice through a freaking train car. He can also use the Flying Dragon Blaze, a hit so fast that the friction can light the victim on fire!"

Wiz said, "He also has access to the Oni Giri, or Demon Cut, where he swings his swords all at the same time. He also has variations, such as the Purgatory Demon Cut. And when he swings his swords a certain way he can create tornados, like the Dragon Twister, and its upgraded version, the Great Dragon Twister."

They show all the moves mentioned via clips against opponents they were used against.

"Is that Zoro fighting an army of Fishmen?" Luffy asked.

"Hmm…I wonder what we're doing there?" Robin asked, rubbing her chin.

"Oh my gosh…that means…we get to see mermaids!"

Sanji shouted this and began going to his love tornado mode. Brook soon joined in with the pair chanting mermaid. This ended when Nami smacked the two over the head.

Boomstick said, "But just because he's a swordsman doesn't mean that you're safe at a distance. When he wants to cut someone from a distance, he throws out his cannon attacks."

Wiz quickly explained, "Zoro has long range attacks he refers to as the flying blade techniques. He does this by swinging his swords so hard that they cut through the air, releasing vacuum blades or bullets. They each rival the force of a cannon and with more swords they get even stronger, reaching over 1000 pounds."

Luffy slammed his fist down on his palm and said, "Oh yeah, I remember that. Didn't we do something like that during that big storm at Franky's hometown."

Franky turned and asked, "Wait, you guys fought agua laguna!?"

Zoro nodded and said, "Yeah, me and Luffy both managed to punch a hole through that giant title wave."

Franky simply stared, and was wondering how many other surprises they had in store.

Zoro, however, was surprised by the 1000 pounds feat. He had no idea he could reach that much, or it could get that poweful. How did they know this, and was that image of him against all those fishmen an incident from the future?

Boomstick said, "But when he really wants to bring the pain, he focuses his energy and-HOLY SHIT DID HE JUST GROW TWO EXTRA PAIRS OF ARMS AND TWO MORE HEADS?!"

The reason behind Boomstick's shout was that a clip showing Zoro's going into his kyutoryu state against Kaku.

"COOL!" the childish trio yelled in shock.

The others stared in a mix of shock and awe as they turned towards Zoro who smirked.

"How did you do that man?" Franky asked.

"That's insane," Nami said.

Robin didn't say anything, but her eyes were slightly wider than normal.

Brook's eye sockets stared at the image and then he remembered something.

"Wait a minute…how come you didn't use that against Ryuma or Oars?" the skeleton asked the swordsman.

Zoro answered, "I couldn't against Ryuma because one of my swords had been turned to rust by a navy captain and I didn't use it against Oars because it takes a lot of concentration to use and I didn't have the time."

Brook accepted the answer.

Luffy suddenly started laughing and said, "Look at the square giraffe."

Wiz said, "Yes. This is Zoro's ultimate technique: the kyutoryu, or nine sword style, and itsual ace in the hole. To use this, he somehow focuses his anger and will creating illusions of arms and heads to multiply his swords…which somehow act like real blades!"

Nami turned towards the man and asked, "How does that work?"

Zoro looked at her for a moment and simply shrugged his shoulders.

Wiz said, "Zoro's skills as a swordsman is nearly unmatched, and after he was separated from his crew and trained by Dracule Mihawk it became the stuff of legends."

"WAIT WHAT!?"

Everyone stared and tried to figure out what he meant when he said that. Separated for two years? Trained by Dracule Mihawk? What the hell were they talking about?!

Everyone took a few minutes to process this.

Boomstick said, "Yeah…long story short, the pirates tried to rescue a mermaid from being a slave, Luffy punched some important windbag, some crazy strong light guy showed up, they got attacked by this bear guy, his robot clone, and this axe guy, and a they all got launched into different parts of the sea."

As the gun lover spoke, they showed clips involving Camie and Hatchan, Luffy punching the celestial dragon, the fight with the Pacifista, Sentomaru, and Kuma before being launched by Kuma's paw pads.

Zoro sat there looking shocked, surprised to see himself being beaten like that. He wasn't the only one.

Everyone saw the looks of fear on their faces as were launched away from the area. The entire crew shivered in fear as they remembered the battle with Kuma. Zoro had been had pressed to defeat the man, of course he was injured but it spoke volumes that even after some time to heal, he was still unable to take them down.

Luffy looked especially upset upon seeing the terrified looks on his crewmates faces. He clenched his fists and swore that that would not happen. His friends had almost been killed recently at Thriller Bark and he swore that he would not let that happen.

Wiz said, "The island he landed on happened to be an island retreat belonging to Dracule Mihawk…and some annoying pink-haired ghost girl."

"Hey, it's that ghost girl from Thriller Bark," Usopp said, remembering his opponent from the terrifying island, "How did she get there?"

Nami snapped her fingers and said, "That's the girl Kuma made disappear."

Boomstick said, "Soon after crashing Zoro received a message from Luffy via newspaper telling the crew to train for two years so that they could be better prepared for the insanity that was the new world, the most dangerous part of the grand line. After receiving this message, Zoro threw aside his pride as a swordsman and asked Mihawk to train him."

Wiz said, "If you can call it training. All he did was stand nearby drinking wine while Zoro fought a bunch of…demonic soldier monkeys."

They showed a clip of Zoro fighting the Humandrills while Perona and Dracule just stood by watching, the latter with a glass of wine in his hand.

Boomstick scoffed said, "Please. It's obvious that he's so strong that just being near him makes you stronger. Like Chuck Norris, but in reverse."

"Chuck Norris?" Usopp asked.

Luffy said, "I don't know who that is, but he sounds awesome."

As this was being said, Zoro was in a moment of thought. Being trained by Mihawk would increase his skill, and probably make him stronger than ever. However, Zoro wondered if he could do it. Could he throw aside his pride enough to be trained by the man he wanted to defeat more than anything? After thinking about it for a few moments.

Wiz said, "After training under Mihawk for two years straight, Zoro's incredible sword skills became the stuff of legends. But he also unlocked and incredible power that only the strongest are able to use…Haki."

They show Zoro holding out his swords and black spirals of energy surrounded his blades, causing them to turn black.

Everyone looked interested at this. Zoro especially.

Wiz explained, "Haki is a metaphysical energy that can be harnessed by all creatures, from humans to fishmen to animals."

They show humans using haki, causing their arms to turn black, Jinbei using haki, and finally a kung fu dugong using it.

"Whoa, it sounds like that ki thing that Akuma used," Luffy said, "Does that mean that Zoro can shoot giant lasers from his swords?!"

Robin rubbed her chin and thought, 'It seems similar, but it based on the clips they showed, it seems more suited for physical combat, not long distance.'

Boomstick said, "Like Neopolitan ice cream Haki comes in three flavors, but Zoro only has access to chocolate and vanilla. Vanilla, the lamest flavor, is observation haki. With this he can sense his opponents whether they are invisible or far away, and even predict attacks."

As the gun lover spoke they showed a clip of Zoro using his haki to block water bullets shot at him from a fishman.

"Holy cow," Usopp said, "That could be useful if we needed to sneak in somewhere. Imagine how great a thief Nami would be if she could sense guards or traps."

Nami thought, 'Where was this back when I was being molested by that perverted beast on Thriller Bark?'

"Hey, wait a minute," Luffy said, "I've seen that before. That jerk Enel used it during our fight a lot."

The crew, from Zoro to Robin, looked at him confused for a moment. Then they remembered their fights on the island. The fighters on Skypiea used Mantra to predict their attacks and counter them with ease. Apparently, mantra and haki were the same thing.

Boomstick continued, "However, chocolate, and everyone's favorite flavor is armament haki. This version is like covering yourself in invisible armor, increasing strength and defense. If that's not enough it can also be applied to weapon to make them stronger, sharper…and can cancel out devil fruit powers."

"Say what?!"

The rest of the crew looked on in shock. Chopper, Luffy, Robin, and Brook looked shocked knowing that there was something other than the ocean and sea stone that could cancel out their powers. If it could also increase strength of both the body and weapons, it made them wonder just what else was out there in the world. To the first three they thought about it cancelling out their powers and leaving them in pain. Brook was horrified thinking that he would die if his powers were cancelled out by Haki. At the same time, they were also imagining their powers increased exponentially by the energy.

As this was going on, Nami and Sanji thought about something. They could harm Luffy whenever they got mad at him. Did that mean that they could subconsciously access haki?

Zoro smirked at the thought of having that kind of power. He glanced at his swords and thought about cutting through a few devil fruit users.

Usopp had his thoughts on using a mix of armament and observation haki. He imagined himself standing on a mountain, Kabuto in his hands, turned black and firing on Aokiji and a few other devil fruit users, predicting their movements and when the fight was over he was embraced by Kanna.

Franky was in the same boat, mixing armament haki with his right arm attacks and left arm weapons, as well as using observation haki to predict movements and sense hidden targets. Probably would have been helpful during the fight with that CP9 owl guy.

However, they were also wondering something else…what was the third type?

Boomstick said, "With all of this, you know Zoro has done some insane shit over the years."

Feats

Survived 30 million volts courtesy of enel

Dodged point-blank cannon fire

Survived certain death from Kuma

Moved over 9000 miles an hour

Decapitated a dragon

Cut through a mountain sized stone assimilation man Pica

Wiz said, "He's taken several dangerous blows, including 30 million volts of electricity, being slammed in the chest by a giant buzz saw/drill, of all things, and withstood several powerful blows from incredibly powerful opponents. However, one of his greatest feats was surviving what should have been certain death."

Everyone looked at Zoro, who stayed stoic.

Wiz explained, "After the battle with Moriah, Zoro battled Kuma, a paw palmed human..."

Upon seeing the look Boomstick had he said, "No I am not kidding."

"I had a hard time believing it myself," Franky said as he rubbed his chest, a little bit of phantom pain running through it from Kuma's pressure cannon.

Wiz continued, "Anyway, Zoro took on Luffy's pain of near death on top of his own…an action that should have killed him, but didn't."

Boomstick said, "Wow, that is dedication right there and OH MY GOD, HOW THE HELL IS HE STILL STANDING AFTER THAT?!"

They show an image of Zoro standing at Thriller Bark, covered in blood, his eyes bloodshot, and a huge amount of blood covering the ground.

Everyone screamed in horror the sight of the gore and destruction. The pain alone must have been insane. After a few moments, everyone turned to Zoro who simply shrugged and turned back to the screen. However, they missed a slight wince as Zoro felt some of his injuries flare up at the memory of what happened.

Sanji flashed back to that moment when he found Zoro standing in the middle of the crater, grievously injured. Zoro hadn't boasted, bragged, or made a big deal out of it. He kept it to himself. As much as he hated to admit it, the moss headed swordsman had his respect. Everyone thought this, as they realized just how much Zoro would put on the line for the crew and just what he would go through for it. respect for Zoro went up a huge margin this day.

Robin glanced at Zoro remembering what happened. After everyone turned back to the screen, she briefly kissed his cheek. Zoro didn't show any outward action, but he was slightly flushed.

Sanji on the other hand, had the incredible urge to kill Zoro.

Wiz shrugged and said, "If Zoro is going to die he's going to do it on his own terms."

'Damn right I am,' the swordsman thought.

Boomstick sighed and said, "No wonder he's so tough. He's taken down large groups of armed thugs, decapitated a goddamn dragon, and, in his greatest sword feat ever, cut through Pica, a literal mountain man."

They show a clip where Zoro, wearing a suit, his bandana on his head, and a scar over his eye, with his swords covered in haki, slicing through a mountain sized statue with the upper half flying upwards, and a very high-pitched scream.

Usopp said, "At this point…I think I'm done being surprised."

The others nodded, now seeing that Zoro was beyond human at this point and it was beginning to get easier to accept.

Wiz said, "Given Pica's size, approximate mass, and the fact that his upper half went flying upwards, Zoro had to have struck him with over 11 megatons of force!"

Zoro smirked at seeing how strong he becomes in the future. Everyone just stared in a mix of shock, fear, and slight awe as they saw their crew member take down such a huge opponent. That thing was bigger than Oars and it took all of them to even just scratch the guy!

"And I stand corrected," Usopp mumbled.

Wiz continued, "While Zoro is an incredible fighter, he is not perfect."

Flaws and weaknesses

Bad sense of direction

Refuses to have his back scarred

Prefers to fight up close and personal

Wiz explained, "Zoro is sword fighter at heart and prefers to fight up close and personal, which can be used against him by the right opponent. He also refuses to have his back injured, believing that a mark on a swordsman's back is a great shame, leaving his organs at the front of his body vulnerable, which is incredibly dangerous."

Boomstick said, "Not to mention, Zoro has a terrible sense of direction. The guy can get lost walking on a straight path for Pete's sake."

Wiz said, "True, however, Zoro is constantly able to overcome this adversity by fighting for his crew. He may seem like a lone wolf, but much like Kuina's death pushed him to train harder, it is his crew that keeps him fighting."

The doors closed.

Everyone was silent for a moment. they were surprised to know about Zoro's past and were saddened about the death ado Kuina, but they were kind of glad for it as it's what allowed him to grow into who he is now. Now they saw why he always carried that white sword. They were also shocked to learn that he would become so strong in two years. It made them wonder just what else they could do.

Now it was time to hear about Zoro's opponent.

The doors opened.

Wiz said, "Four hundred years ago, humans and dragons lived alongside each other in a fragile peace. Groups of humans and dragons hated each other, leading to a massive civil war. To help their human allies, the dragons taught the humans how to use magic, so they could defend themselves."

Boomstick said, "This was called dragon slayer magic, but that's a death battle for another day. What we do need to know is that overusing caused them to transform into dragons."

"So cool!" Luffy yelled.

Everyone imagined themselves as dragons and gaining huge amounts of power. Going through them would take too long to describe, so I'll leave you to imagine what they would look like.

Despite it being cool, everyone wondered what this had to do with this Erza woman.

Wiz continued, "One such woman was Irene Belserion. She was pregnant while transformed and held it for over 400 years until she was transformed back by the wizard Zeref. Remember that name because it is going to come up later."

Boomstick said, "Dang…that is impressive. Anyway, after getting changed back, she tried to take over the child's body through enchantment, but good old fashion motherly love stopped her. Realizing that her daughter would be in danger, she abandoned the child in Rosemary village, where she was given the name Erza."

"She did what?!"

The girls all through to themselves as they wondered just how much she loved her daughter to abandon her. Through, they had mixed feeling about it. While they were glad that Irene didn't take Erza over, abandoning her seemed like a coward's way of doing it.

Those of the who knew what it was like to be abandoned felt bad for Erza. Though, there was some feeling of relief as it wasn't out of malice.

Wiz said, "The abandoned child would be given the name Erza."

Erza Scarlet

Age: 19

Born X765

S-Class mage of fairy tail

7th guild master of Fiary Tail

Artificial eye

Dubbed Titania, the fairy queen

Loves strawberry cake and soufflé

Wiz continued, "Erza lived in Rosemary village alongside great friends Simon, and his sister Kagura, but since this is an origin story you know that something was going to go wrong."

Boomstick answered, "And boy did it. A cult who worshipped Zeref attacked the town, kidnapping everyone, and forcing them to work on a magical tower to bring Zeref back to life. It was here that she would meet some more kids: Wally, Millianna, Sho, and Jellal, the last of which who gave her the last name Scarlet for her red hair."

Wiz said, "Erza became close friends with these children as well as a man named Rob, an elderly mage of the Fairy Tail guild."

"So that explains her last name," Nami said, "but how did she get out of the slave thing and into the guild thing?"

"Maybe she snuck out," Chopper said, hoping she got out of this whole thing okay.

Wiz said, "After a failed escape attempt Erza was believed to be the mastermind and was tortured to the point of death, losing her eye in the process. Soon after, she staged a revolt that nearly failed, her friend Sho, losing his jaw, and Rob sacrificing his life. In that moment, Erza unlocked her magical power and successfully helped her fellow slaves escape."

Boomstick said, "Yeah, there was just one problem. Jellal wound up being possessed by the spirit of Zeref, transformed into a total dick, and pushed her away, throwing her out of the tower. Erza washed up on the shores of Fiore where she would be brought in to the fairy tail guild, where she took an oath to protect the innocent…and became a hard as nails bombshell!"

"You got that right!" yelled Sanji, his eyes taking the shape of bright pink hearts, "Oh my scarlet maiden!"

A hand grew out of Sanji's chest and slapped him.

"Thank you, Robin," Zoro said, turning his attention back to the show.

Wiz said, "After joining the guild, Erza began to learn how to harness her magic. Her personal magic is re-quip magic, where she stores armors and weapons in a pocket dimension and bring them out."

Boomstick said, "According to our sources, she has at least two hundred weapons and one hundred sets of armor. This woman basically has a huge armory that she can summon up at will."

magic and Equipment

requip magic

sword magic

telekinesis

Second Origin

Holy Hammer

Artificial eye

200 other weapons unaccounted for.

Wiz said, "If that isn't enough, Erza is a master in hand to hand combat and weaponry, including her holy hammer, swords, axes, lances, and many more. She also utilizes sword magic which allows her to perform powerful attacks. And that artificial eye, given to her after joining the guild, is immune to illusionary magic, allowing her to see through any illusions."

"So, does that mean Zoro's nine sword style won't work on her?" Chopper asked, cocking his head to the side.

Nami answered, "We'll just have to wait and see."

Sanji said, "Well, if we do see her, at least I know what kinds of food I should make her."

Franky rubbed his chin and wondered if he could use this requip stuff. Being able to pull all kinds of weapons out of nowhere would be useful.

Chopp had similar thoughts, only with medical supplies.

Wiz continued, "She's also has telekinesis, which she uses to control multiple objects, usually swords, at one time. She also uniquely ambidextrous, being able to fight with swords with not only her hands, but her feet."

They show Erza fighting with Evergreen, using two swords in both her hands and her feet.

Zoro found himself flashing back to his fight with Kaku, the giraffe man using his tempest kicks to add two extra blades for a four-sword style.

"That could be a problem," Usopp mumbled.

Luffy said, "Don't worry, Zoro's got this."

Wiz said, "Combine all of this with enhanced strength, durability, a keen intellect, reflexes, and magical power, and you have a monster ready to face down anything and everything that gets in her way."

"Wow," Usopp said, "She's like a female red-haired Zoro."

Sanji growled, "Usopp, never bring that up again."

As this was going on, Zoro looked at the woman and began making some comparisons to Kuina. He wondered if she would have wound up anything like her if she had lived.

Boomstick said, "But the real power lies in her various armors. Each one can give her access to certain magic and weapons, as well as increase her abilities when in combat. And boy does she have a lot of them."

Boomstick said, "Her most basic armor is the Heart Kreuz Armor. While this armor doesn't have any special abilities, it is surprisingly light and doesn't limit her movements."

Wiz said, "It should also be noted that some of her armors don't' have special abilities, and can only be used for certain situations, such as the Rabbit Armor which is basically just an armored bunny suit, the Robe of Yuen, which has elastic properties, and her Seduction Armor, which she got simply for private use…most likely her honeymoon."

Boomstick looked jealous and said, "That is going to be one lucky bastard."

"Are all her armors going to be so skimpy?" Robin asked, with a raised eyebrow.

Zoro cocked and eyebrow and said, "It's probably her way of telling her opponents that it's a woman who is kicking their ass."

Nami had no qualms about showing off her body, in the right situations of course, and she didn't show off too much. However, Zoro's answer surprised her.

"What do you mean?" she asked the swordsman.

Zoro answered, "When Kuina was a kid, people kept saying that she couldn't be a swordswoman because of her body, that she wouldn't be able to use a sword as she grew. It was part of the reason that she wanted to become the best. I think that Erza might have been told the same thing at some point, which is why she shows off her body like that. It's her way of saying that she a female warrior and you shouldn't look down on her because of it."

Everyone looked surprised at the swordsman's surprisingly deep words and begat not wonder if that was the true reason why she wore that.

Of course, Brook and Sanji weren't going to complain as they both had nosebleeds at the sight of Erza's seduction armor.

Boomstick cleared his throat and said, "Anyway, if she does want to kick some serious ass, she equips her Heaven's Wheel Armor which allows her summon almost 200 swords and wield them with her mind, which she can also do with her Wingblade Armor. Her Black Wing Armor allows her to fly and increases her offensive capabilities."

The armors are shown in clips against opponents.

"Oh great, more people who can fly," Usopp said, "I hate say it, but it looks she might have more in terms of offense on you Zoro."

The swordsman shrugged and said, "So? We've faced people like that before."

However, underneath his stoic look, Zoro was starting to become nervous. This woman clearly had a lot of experience in terms of fighting.

Boomstick continued, "She also has special elemental armors, the Fire Empress, Sea Empress, Lightning Empress, and Wind God Armors, which makes her resistant to fire, water, lighting, and wind along with the ability to use fire, water, lighting, and wind magic, respectively."

They show the armors mentions via clips against opponents showcasing their effectiveness.

"Whoa! She has armor that gives her powers like Ace and Enel," Luffy said, his eyes sparkling

"Cool," Usopp and Chopper said, their eyes sparkling.

Nami rubbed her chin and said, "I wonder if that magic they use could cancel out devil fruit powers like Zoro's haki?"

Boomstick continued, "Her Purgatory armor makes her more offensive and looks scary as hell. Her Flight Armor increases her speed, her Giant Armor Increases her strength, and gives her a rocket lance. Her Morning Star armor allows her to manipulate energy and fire lasers, including the powerful Photon Slicer, and her Piercing Armor gives her incredible strength and piercing power. For example, while battling in this armor, she was capable of punching through a giant cube shaped fortress."

They show clips of the mentioned armors and their battles against various opponents.

At this point, Zoro was beginning to wonder if he should examine other forms of weapons to use, or if he should start integrating different styles of swordplay into style. He saw some advantages of that, not to mention it could be awesome.

Boomstick quickly said, "Remember that. However, she doesn't just have offense. When she wants to defend she brings out the Adamantine Armor. This spiky suit can withstand a huge amount of force, such as when she was hit by the Jupiter Cannon."

They show a clip of Erza withstanding the Jupiter cannon.

"So…awesome," the childish trio said at the sight of Erza withstand the cannon blast.

The others were shocked at the sight of the armor's durability.

"Dang that is one powerful shield," Usopp mumbled.

'I wonder if I can try something like that with the Gaon Cannon,' Franky thought.

Wiz said, "She's not limited to just armor, though. When she needs to, she strips down to Clear Heart Clothing. While giving her a decrease in defense, she gains a massive boost in striking power."

Sanji and Brook fell over blushing at the sight of Erza in just chest bindings and pants. It wasn't as hot as her seduction armor, but it was still nice.

Wiz said, "However, her greatest show stoppers are the Amadura Fairy Armor and the Nakagami Armor. The Amadura fairy greatly increases Erza's offensive capabilities and grants her access to the Fairy Burst attack."

Boomstick said, "True, but the Nakgami armor is her ace in the hole. This armor grants Erza insane magical power and gives her the Nakgami Starlight attack. A move so powerful it cuts through space itself…whatever the hell that means. All we need to know is that it is crazy powerful."

That stopped everyone cold. Cutting through space? Was that like cutting through the world itself.

Zoro himself now looked slightly unsure.

Wiz said, "All of this armor relies on a magic, or ethernano, which is contained in the body of the wizard. With her massive reserves, she can go through multiple sets of armor in battle. If that's not enough she can also mix and match her armor and weapons to increase effectiveness. However, some of her armors are more situated for other situations. For example, her elemental armors are more suited for opponents who use elemental magic."

Boomstick said, "Yeah, but even with that going wrong for her, she's done a lot of crazy shit."

Feats

Pierced a giant floating cube

Survived a Jupiter Cannon blast

Deflects bullets

Fought and defeated a hundred monsters at the same time

Slice through airship

Cut through Hades' magical chains

Obliterated an island

Youngest to ever pass S-Class exams

Boomstick said, "She's cut through large objects, from iron pillars to a freaking airship."

Wiz continued, "She was also the youngest person to ever pass the S-class exams, a test that only the strongest of body and will, and the sharpest of minds can pass."

Zoro let out an impressed whistle before he could stop himself. He had to admit that he was very impressed.

Boomstick said, "If she did that then she has to be strong. Remember her punching a hole in a giant cube?"

Wiz nodded at his cohost and hit a button. A hologram of a large cube made up of earth and water appeared, with a large blast exploding out the side of it.

Wiz explained, "That cube had to be at least a hundred million cubic miles in volume. If Erza needed to punch a hole in it, she had to hit it with at least sixteen kilotons of force."

"Holy cow," Franky said, "that is a lot of strength."

The others were just staring in shock.

Boomstick and said, "She's also pretty fast. Once she blocked a bullet fire from a flintlock pistol at point blank. Given the type of gun, that bullet flew at about 540 miles an hour, and that was when she was just in her Hearts Kreuz Armor."

Wiz said, "Even if she isn't fast enough to block or dodge, she's incredible durable. She's withstood powerful blasts and spells from very powerful wizards, including an enhanced Thunder Palace, a lighting spell that was enhanced to the point it could wipe out a town. Though, one of her greatest feats had to be when she withstood a blast powerful enough to destroy an island, with had to force of at least two kilotons of TNT."

Luffy said, "That's it, if we ever see this woman she is joining our crew."

Usopp said, "I don't think that is going to happen."

The others were shocked at how fast and strong Erza was. Judging by that, this was probably going to be one of the harder fights Zoro had ever been in.

Zoro, however, smirked. This was going to be good.

Wiz said, "But she has her limits. Her attacks and armor changes are reliant on her magic. If she isn't careful, she can run out and leave herself nearly helpless. I say nearly because, even without her armor she is still a master in hand to hand combat, like when she fought her evil twin from another dimension."

They showed the image of Erza Scarlet and Erza Knightwalker fighting hand to hand, with a lot of their clothes ripped off, leaving them almost naked.

Boomstick stared and drooled as he saw the two scantily clad women.

Sanji and Brook both fell over passed out with nosebleeds.

Franky whistled in appreciation for their figures. While he wasn't a complete pervert, he could appreciate the sight of a beautiful woman.

Luffy just cocked his head to the side, wondering what was wrong with Boomstick.

Chopper was freaking out over Sanji passing out and wondering how Brook had a nosebleed.

Nami and Robin both rolled their eyes at the man's reaction.

Zoro made no action and just watched.

Wiz then said, "And her magic isn't the only problem. Her armors are not indestructible. We've seen them damage in battle, and they can be left useless after taking too much damage."

Wiz turned towards his cohost and saw he was still drooling over the image of the scantily clad Erzas.

Wiz smacked his cohost over the head and continued, "Erza is loyal to a fault, taking on great pain and fighting in the name of justice and for her guild."

Boomstick rubbed his head and said, "If you ever threaten the fairy tail guild, prepare to face the wrath of the fairy queen."

After that, everyone was wondering who would win.

Nami and Robin were sticking with their fellow female saying Erza would win. Brook and Sanji also said Erza would win, for obvious reasons.

The rest said that Zoro would win.

Zoro, however, didn't have an answer. After seeing Erza's story and her strengths and weaknesses he thought that the battle could go either way. He just decided to watch and see how things played out.

Boomstick said, "Okay, the combatants are set. It's time to put the debate to rest."

Wiz said, "It's time for a death battle!"

Wiz was silent for a moment and said, "Huh…that is pretty satisfying. I see why you do it, Boomstick."

The gun lover chuckled said, "Told ya."

The doors close and reopened.

The doors opened to reveal the city of Magnolia. The sun is shining, and people are out and about. We turn our attention to the fairy tail guild. A large building standing proud, as a sign of the strongest guild in Fiore.

"Wow, cool," Franky said, giving props to whoever it was who designed the place because it looked completely awesome.

"Hey, Franky can you build our crew a base?" Luffy asked, with a smile.

"I think that might be Fairy Tail's place," Nami said, recognizing the symbol.

"I wonder what this has to do with the battle?" Robin asked.

Zoro was slightly impatient as he wanted to see his fight already.

Seconds later, the east wall exploded into dust and debris. We zoom in to reveal that a vicious fight was going on. Moments later, Luffy and the entire crew erupted out of the building, rushing towards the pier.

Everyone stared wide eyed at what was their future selves.

"Wow, we look awesome! Especially Franky!"

"Wow, I look…super awesome," Franky yelled doing his pose, then he noticed something and said, "Wow…Usopp you buffed up, brother."

Usopp saw his future self and said, "Wow, I look so cool…and what happened to Kabuto? Why is it shorter and black?"

Chopper looked upset and said, "I haven't changed at all."

Robin smiled and said, "Don't worry, doctor. You're still adorable."

Chopper reacted by blushing and going his happy dance.

Sanji and Brook both had nosebleeds at the sight of the older and much sexier versions of Nami and Robin. They both passed out. Given the headaches they probably would have cause, they decided to just leave them be.

"Wow, I look pretty cool," Luffy said, "but where did that scar come from?"

The crew were currently running for the pier. It had been simple, stop at the town to pick up some supplies and some food. They found themselves stopping at a guild hall, Luffy started a fight with some pink haired hot head, and how they were running to get out of town.

"Damn it Luffy," Nami yelled, "Why did you have to fight that fire guy?"

Luffy yelled, "That's what he gets for trying to steal my food!"

Sanji yelled, "He wasn't trying to steal your food, dummy!"

As they talked a huge group of mages were following them, wanting to get payback for them messing up their guild.

Luffy said, "Everyone split up. We'll meet back at the ship."

With that order, everyone went in different directions, however, they were chased by certain groups.

Mirajane went after Robin, Laxus and the thunder god tribe went after Nami and Sanji, Lisanna and Elfman went after Chopper, Natsu went after Luffy, Brook was being chased by team shadow gear, Franky and Usopp were being chased by Cana and a very annoyed looking Gildarts.

Zoro, however, immediately got himself lost trying to run.

The man looked annoyed as he tried move, but found himself going in circles.

"Dammit," Zoro growled, "Luffy why do you always have to cause such trouble?"

"Hey, I don't always cause trouble," Luffy yelled angrily.

"Yes, you do," everyone said at the same time.

"So, you're with that strange rubber boy," a female voice said.

Turning towards the sound, Zoro found himself facing off against the Titania. Erza stood a sword in each hand, clad in her Hearts Kreuz Armor.

"You have attacked my guild," she said, "Now you must pay the price."

Zoro scoffed and said, "I don't have time to play here lady. I have somewhere to be."

Zoro took the bandana from his shoulder and wrapped his around his forehead, shadowing his eyes.

He drew Shusui and Sandai Kitetsu and said, "Stay out of my way."

The two charged as they clashed with the sound of crashing metal and a shower of sparks.

Fight!

The two fighters began swinging wildly. The sound of their swords meeting, rang out like gunshots. Sparks raining down on the ground. After a few moments of fighting, Erza leapt back and in a flash of a magic seal, pulled out her holy hammer.

The woman swung hard, Zoro dodged to the right trying to go for another slash, but the armored mage flipped over the hammer's handle. Erza launched herself upwards and came down with her hammer raised.

"Two Sword Style: Double Cut: Tower Climb!"

Zoro reacted quickly swinging his swords up with a loud crash as they met with the hammer. The force of the two attacks cancelled each other out and the pair were pushed away from each other.

Zoro acted quickly and charged forward with his swords held out.

"Double Cut: Battering Ram!"

Erza drew in the hammer to block, but it proved to be a bad idea as the force of the blow shattered the hammer's head and launched Erza backwards into a wall with a cry of pain.

Sanji immediately rose out of his knocked-out state and yelled, "How dare you hurt that beauty moss head!"

Before he could, Robin sprouted several arms which stopped him and caused him to fall to the ground. A few of the hands covered his mouth and nose until he passed out from a lack of oxygen. While the hands covering his mouth and nose vanished, the ones holding him down stayed.

The others turned back to the show from the brief distraction.

Erza didn't let the pain distract her as she saw Zoro put his third sword in his mouth. He charged forward with two swords drawn back, ready to slice.

"Three Sword Style: Purgatory Demon Cut!"

"Re-quip: Black Wing Armor!"

Erza's clothes flashed brightly before being replaced with the winged armor. She shot up into the air, just in time to avoid Zoro's attack, leaving an X-shaped gash in the building behind her, and a powerful shockwave that damaged the surrounding ground and buildings.

Zoro looked confused and briefly tapped into his observation haki and found her flying overhead with a sword in hand.

"When did you have time to strip down?" Zoro asked.

"Wait…does she strip whenever she changes her armors?" Usopp asked.

Sanji, still unconscious, suddenly got a nosebleed, having somehow heard them, and Brook, who was just waking up from his spill, passed out again.

Nami and Robin…just ignored the remark, though Nami made a note to punch Usopp later.

That proved to be the wrong thing to say as Erza swung her swords.

"Moon Flash!"

Zoro countered quickly with his own ranged technique.

"Three Sword style: 108 Caliber Cannon!"

The two attacks met and exploded with an incredible amount of force and kicking up a large cloud of smoke. Erza shot through the smoke and attacked at a high speed. Zoro block the attacks, sending sparks flying along with the sound of singing steel.

After a few attempts, Erza shot back and changed armors, this time to her flight armor. Now faster than ever and wielding two swords, she launched forward unleashing an even faster barrage of attacks. Zoro's observation haki allowed him to keep up, but it was incredibly difficult. No defense is perfect, though as a stab struck him in the side.

Erza capitalized on this, and threw a punch to Zoro's jaw while he was temporarily distracted by the pain.

With Zoro distracted, Erza changed into her Giant Armor and tackled him charging through a damaged, but still intact, wall.

"What is with you and costume changes?" Zoro asked out loud, just before they crashed through the wall. After they crashed, Erza kept charging, before she let go of Zoro and punched him hard, sending the man flying backwards, losing Wado Ichimonji in the process, the sword falling from his teeth.

Erza stood triumphant as she turned and walked away.

This proved a mistake as she heard a familiar voice speak.

"Two Sword Style: Draw: Rashomon!"

Erza spun around just in time to see Zoro charging at her with two of his swords.

"Adamantine Armor! Adamantine Barrier!"

Erza equipped her armor and brought her shields out just in time to block the powerful strike, however, had enough strength to knock her off balance, and Zoro acted on it. He leapt over the woman and landed behind her.

"Two Sword Style: 72 Caliber Cannon!"

The attacks slammed into Erza's unprotected back, drawing blood, and causing her to let out a cry of pain.

Sanji woke up at the sound and tried to get up to attack Zoro for what his counterpart was doing, but he was held firmly in place by Robin's various limbs.

"Dang, I always forget how vicious Zoro can be when he's upset," Chopper said, "Makes me glad Crocodiles organization didn't hire him.

This was met with nods from the others as they realized just how powerful the guy was.

Erza turned on her heel and changed armors again, this time to her Armadura Fairy armor.

The now pink armored Erza shot forward and began sword fighting with Zoro again. Zoro had a bit of trouble keeping up at this point, due to lacking his third sword, as well as Erza's enhanced abilities, but he kept up, delivering a few gashes to Erza's arms and side. Erza got in a few licks to before she backed off.

"Fairy Burst!"

A bright green glow formed around her sword and charged forward.

Zoro dodged to the right, but couldn't dodge it completely, getting a bad burn on his shoulder and arm, however he managed to grab onto his sword. He grabbed Wado Ichimonji and put it back in his mouth.

As Erza turned to swing again, Zoro acted.

"Three Sword Style: Great Dragon Twister!"

A massive tornado was born from Zoro's powerful swing. Erza was caught up in it, launched up into the air. The wind knocked a few innocent civilians backwards and ripped the roofs off a few buildings, one which Zoro jumped.

Erza temporarily struggled with the wind, but equipped her Wind God Armor and proceeded to use its power to cancel it out. She looked around as debris fell all around her. She then felt a presence and looked up to see Zoro with two of his swords sheathed, with a single sword in his left hand, with his right hand, gripping his right wrist for support.

"One Sword Style: Flying Dragon Blaze!"

"Hey, I think I know this technique," Franky said, "He used this to beat Ryuma back in Thriller Bark."

"Cool," the childish trio said as they watched with sparkles in their eyes.

Even Robin and Nami had to admit it was cool.

Sanji was still trying to get out of Robin's hold, and Brook were still knocked out.

Zoro looked impassive, but he remained calm. He had taken some serious hits, but so had the woman. He remembered this attack and remembered her elemental armors, so he knew this wouldn't be the end of her. So far, he had seen great skill, will, and determination. Erza officially had his respect.

The attack struck Erza's side and immediately ignited in blue flames. Zoro landed perfectly, but winced slightly from the pain of his wounds.

He sheathed his remaining sword and walked away, however he was quick to notice that something was wrong. He glanced up and saw that Erza was now flying with her Flame empress armor. The woman growled in anger and charged.

Zoro quickly dodged, but his robe caught on fire, causing him to stop, drop, and roll for a few seconds before getting up, an enraged look on his face. With a growl, he stood up and then he activated his nine swords mode the swords fanning out in an intimidating gesture.

Erza simply smirked before she equipped her Heaven's Wheel Armor. Two swords formed in her hands as two hundred more floated around her.

"Looks like we've reached the climax," Robin said, her arms crossed still.

"Come on, Zoro, clobber that red head," Luffy yelled.

"Yeah man, you got this," Franky yelled.

The others who had bet on Zoro were now cheering for Zoro to win.

Zoro remained impassive.

"Fly my swords," Erza declared as the swords began raining down on the green haired pirate. Zoro roared as he began focusing his observation haki to predict the movements of the swords, his nine swords deflecting the weapons.

After sending several dozen flying, Zoro shot forward and started leaping from sword to sword, charging.

Erza then moved down to her Clear Heart Clothing, katana in hand, charging as well, magical energy swirling around her weapon.

"Nine Sword Style: Ashura: Silver Mist!"

The two passed each other, and stood still, Zoro's swords were fanned out, and Erza's sword was extended.

A tense silence filled the battlefield.

The crew watched as they saw the stalemate. There was a moment of silence as everyone waited with baited breath.

The silence was ruined when Zoro's chest exploded in an intimidating burst of gore, and several giant gashes appeared on Erza's body. The pair fell to the ground.

Zoro and the Erza were both bent over and in great pain from their wounds. There was a moment of silence except for the pair's labored breathing. The two then turned and glanced at each other. The two then prepared to stand up, blood dripping down.

Erza could feel her magic was at its limits. So, with a growl her body flashed, and a massive wave of power erupted out of her body.

Zoro could see the power coming of off her, and realized that this was his last shot. With a grunt Zoro got up and turned towards her. He held out his swords, the blades turning black. He began turning the two in front of him like propeller blades.

Erza in turn transformed into her Nakagami Armor with her halberd in her hands. Magic began glowing on her it.

The two then charged at each other and cried out their final attacks.

"Nakagami Starlight!"

"Three Sword Style Secret Technique: Billion-fold World Trichiliocosm!"

The two attacks met and the sound of metal tearing through flesh echoed around like the sound of a gong. There was a moment of silence.

Zoro fell to one knee, blood dripping from his wounds. Erza however, exploded, split horizontally through the middle. Both halves fell to the ground, spurting blood from their wounds. The queen of the fairies had been slain.

KO

Zoro calmly sheathed his swords and said, "Okay, now where the hell is that pier."

The crew cheered happily for Zoro's victory, however, a few of the members became sick at the brutal display of death and carnage.

Zoro smirked, glad to see his own victory.

"Now that was a death blow," Boomstick said, wincing at the sight.

Wiz said, "Both Erza and Zoro were incredibly powerful, but Zoro carried the edge. While both were well trained, Erza was mostly self-taught, Zoro had been training with a sword all his life."

Boomstick said, "Zoro also held a speed advantage. While Erza could move fast enough to knock bullets out of the air, Zoro moved faster than the human eye could track, which is several times faster."

Wiz continued, "Erza was also outclassed in damage dealt. Her greatest feat of strength was blast a hole in a giant cube with sixteen kilotons of force. Zoro's greatest show of strength was cutting through Pica, which took over eleven megatons of force."

Zoro nodded at this, recognizing how powerful he would become. It also made the straw hats wonder if he did anything other than fighting giant weapon-wielding monkeys.

Boomstick said, "But isn't there a lot of controversy around that feat?"

Wiz said, "Yes, some say that Zoro shouldn't have hit that hard because he used haki and was thrown. However, that doesn't work. You see, Zoro was thrown so he could reach Pica in time, because he was about to cursh a few innocent people, as well as a few crew members, and he used haki to make his sword more effective against Pica, who was a devil fruit user."

Boomstick let out an "oh" in understanding.

Wiz continued, "Also, Zoro was shown to be capable of slashing through Pica without haki, as he did the same with his 1080 caliber cannon earlier in the battle."

Boomstick said, "I get it. Even if Erza survived a blast of two kilotons of TNT, she couldn't withstand anything that he green haired swordsman could dish out, not even with her vast array of armors. Plus, none of them could close that wide of a gap in speed and strength."

Wiz finished, "Thus, the queen of the fairies was cut from her throne."

Boomstick said, "The winner is Roronoa Zoro."

The crew cheered in victory at seeing the fight. Zoro received a few pats on the back from the others. Sanji was still pissed at the thought of Zoro harming a woman, but he decided to just let moss head have his victory.

Next time on Death battle…

There was beautiful music playing as the sound rang out. As the music played we see a woman standing on a building, looking over a city. You can't see much of her, but you can make out a head of black hair, bright blue eyes, and a golden tiara with a red star in the center.

She turned as she heard a noise, turning to see another woman, also covered in shadows. If you looked, you could just barely make out brown hair with a white streak.

"G'night sugah," she said, before charging.

Next time: DC vs Marvel: Wonder Woman Vs. Rogue.

Everyone looked interested at the sight of the two women about to do battle in the next episode. Though two certain members, had nosebleeds at the thought of a cat fight, the images of slapping, hair pulling, and tearing clothes filled their perverted minds.

Suddenly, Chopper stood up and said, "Hey, can we take a break for a few minutes, I got to go and check on my patient."

This was met with looks of understanding.

Sanji said, "Given Luffy's appetite, I should probably get some more popcorn made. You guys want anything while I head to the kitchen?"

Various orders of booze, juice, meat, cheese sticks, and various pieces of junk food rang out from the crew as Sanji left to go do his job.

With that, the rest of the crew waited for Sanji and Chopper to return to watch.

Cut! Okay, if any of you have noticed there has been a change in this chapter. Now, this isn't from the back and forth reviews I've gotten. I'm bound to get that from any story. I just read over the chapter and, to be honest, I didn't like it. I also got the looks from others and realized how I hadn't written what I felt comfortable with. I don't think I'll be doing alternate endings. I think I might do a brother story to this, with one shots showing the alternate death battles.

Criticism is welcome, flames are ignored. For those of you who were upset, I thank you for not flaming me and I am thankful for your understanding.
