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!

I have ten more slots ready, who wants to add to them? Please request a fight for the Straw Hat members, or for the original battles. Oh, and leave a slight description of the character their franchise because I tried looking up some of these people by name and it did not work out.

Let's get started then!

Chapter 5: Sora vs Noctis, key blade vs royal arms

The crew was currently waiting for the episode to start. Well not so patiently, as a few of them seemed upset that they got such a vague idea for what the death battle was going to be, but not very much.

"Finally," Luffy said, as the episode finished loading.

As the music started everyone got ready.

Wiz was shown looking at Boomstick who was still rubbing his jaw.

"Are you sure your up for this? The dentist said you may need some more time to let your teeth heal," Wiz said, slightly concerned for his cohost, and wanting him gone for a little extra time. He had enjoyed the peace.

Boomstick answered, "And miss an awesome sword fight? To hell with that."

Zoro perked up immediately after hearing the word sword.

Wiz sighed and turned towards the screen, "Since time immemorial there has been one constant factor in stories. A single hero having the weight of the world on their shoulders."

Boomstick said, "Yeah, no matter the age, some young kid always manages to get caught up in some crazy conflict with others. And somehow they gain incredible power and manage to kick all of the ass!"

Wiz said, "One of these heroes is Sora, the wielder of the Kingdom Key.

Wiz pressed a button showing a boy who looked to be about sixteen. He had spiky brown hair, slight tanned skin, and blue eyes. He wore a black hoodie with silver pauldron-like additions to his sleeves and white lining. Under the hoodie was a navy-blue undershirt with a patch of red in the center. His pants resembled chaps and were black on the exterior of his legs and navy-blue on the interior, with yellow straps crisscrossing across and held in place by a black belt, and a red pocket with a black cross over them. On his hands were black gloves with a white x on them and a yellow line going over the wrist. His shoes were large, black and yellow, with silver soles, a zipper running across the top, and held together straps with buckles. Around his neck was a silver crown shaped pendant. A real eye catcher was his weapon. It looked like an oversized key…no literally. A key the size of a sword with a black handle surrounded by a yellow guard, the teeth looking like it took the shape of a crown.

"He's…only a kid," Nami said, "He doesn't even look older than Luffy."

Zoro said, "I wonder what the giant key is for…you think that might be the kingdom key Wiz mentioned? It would explain the giant keyhole we saw in last week's trailer. "

Usopp said, "He might be young, but I don't think that is going to be a problem. I mean look at Chopper."

Chopper did his happy dance and said, "That doesn't make me happy at all you bastard!"

The others were wondering just what this kid could do. If he could fight here, then he probably was stronger than he let on.

Boomsitck said, "And Noctis Lucis Caelum, the prince of Lucis."

Boomstick pressed a button and showed the next contestant. He looked to be about twenty years old. He had spiky black hair with bangs that hung in his face with blue eyes. His attire consisted of a black with skull-motif buttons and sequenced details on the pockets. There was another skull on the tag of the zipper, which was unzipped. Underneath he wore steel gray shirt with skull imprints. He lower attire consisted of a pair of black cropped trousers and black buckled boots with red soles. On his left hand was a black motorcycle glove.

"I don't know why, but I have the sudden urge to yell emo," Zoro said crossing his arms, "though I think that he might be the reason behind those thirteen weapons that we saw in the trailer."

"I can't believe I'm saying this, but I agree with moss head," Sanji said, "That guy dresses up with way too much black and skulls."

Robin cocked her head to the side in interest. The dark attire and the hard look in his eyes made the man seem powerful.

Nami said, "Wait, didn't Boomstick say he was a prince?"

Franky said, "This ought to be interesting. That Noctis guy looks like he can hold his own in a fight."

Usopp said, "I certainly hope he does a better job than Vivi. No offense to her, but she wasn't much of a fighter back in Alabasta."

The other members who were on that mission. Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Chopper, and Robin all nodded in understanding. The rest of the crew members wondered what the resident sniper was talking about, but decided to let it go for now and get answers later.

Wiz said, "Now both of our contestants have massive customizable arsenals, so we decided to limit them to what is unique to them. And since this is a one on one battle, we won't be using any of their summons."

Boomstick said, "Um actually, Wizard I was wondering why we can't have them use their summons for this battle. I mean picture it, it would be totally awesome."

Wiz simply looked at his cohost and answered, "Because according to the mechanics of both games, Sora can only use summons when he has two other members in his team, and they both need to be conscious, while Noctis can summon his when he is on his own, and in danger, which would give this one on one fight a very unfair advantage."

Boomstick blinked before saying, "Oh. Yeah good reason."

"Wait so he relies on his friends for certain abilities?" Chopper asked, "Sounds like he relies on his friends a little much."

Zoro took a drink of sake and said, "That might be a problem later down the road."

Sanji said, "Yeah, there are plenty of times when we've had to fight some people one on one, and we've done just fine."

This was met with several nods. Chopper himself, however, looked slight upset. His only one on one fight was with Kumadori and he had been destroyed easily by the man had to resort to his monster point to be able to win. And then during the fight with the Zoro and Sanji zombies on Thriller Bark, he had to rely on help from Robin. If she hadn't been there, he would have been killed.

He wasn't the only one. Brook thought back to his fight with Ryuma and he wound up getting beaten by the swordsman and he wasn't even being taken seriously. If it wasn't for Zoro his bones would have been reduced to powder.

Boomstick said, "He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick."

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

The doors closed and reopened.

Wiz started, "A long time ago, when the world was whole and full of light, said to come from the center of all worlds known as Kingdom Hearts."

Boomstick said, "Yeah, I'm leaving this backstory to you Wiz with the order of how everything came out this got really confusing for me."

Luffy asked, "What does he mean by confusing?"

Robin said, "I remember an old story series I liked. They kept releasing different prequels and sequels and all kinds of other nonsense that got very hard to follow. It took a while for me to understand everything."

Brook said, "Oh my, that sounds very frustrating. I hope that Wizard is able to understand everything."

Wiz said, "I'll admit it was confusing, but it is manageable. To make things simple, the boss in charge of it, called the master of master, manipulated his students, known as the foretellers into mistrusting each other and the world the object that could control Kingdom Hearts, the X-blade. During the battle, it shattered into twenty pieces, seven made of light, and thirteen made of darkness."

As Wiz explained they showed clips from Kingdom Heart's Birth By Sleep, and showing the Master of Master, the foretellers, the Kingdom Hearts, and the X-blade.

"This seems kind of straightforward," Franky said, "big boss goes mad with power, manipulates henchmen/apprentices and thing go to shit."

"Yeah, I don't see how this could be confusing," Chopper said, "It sounds like it could make a good story, maybe even a series."

Robin said, "Maybe it was because of how the order came out."

Boomstick nodded and said, "Yes, go on."

Wiz continued, "With the Kingdom Hearts lost to darkness, several different worlds began to form. One of these worlds was known as the Destiny Islands, it was here that Sora was born."

Sora

Birthplace: Destiny Islands

Current Occupation: Keyblade Master

Main Team: Donald Duck and Goofy

Gary Stu Character…I think

Boomstick said, "Now I know things pick up here. Sora lived on the Destiny Islands with his best friend and rival Riku, and his crush Kairi, and together they planned to leave the Destiny Islands and see the worlds. They did, but not in the way they wanted."

Wiz explained, "One night, after constructing the boats they would use to sail, they were attacked by the Heartless, monsters formed from the darkness in within people's hearts. And as we know, people can be pretty cruel."

Everyone flashed back to different times in their lives.

They remembered Moriah, most recently their strongest and possibly craziest enemy, especially Brook.

Usopp saw Kuro in his mind.

Nami saw Arlong.

Chopper saw Wapole.

Franky and Robin both saw Spandam.

Luffy saw Bluejam and Sabo's birth parents.

Zoro saw a lot of different people.

Sanji saw his father and brothers.

Boomstick said, "Unfortunately, while Sora was able to escape, to a new place called Traverse Town, Riku and Kairi were swallowed up by the darkness. However, Sora unlocked the ancient power of the Keyblade, an ancient weapon used by the master before the X-blade was shattered. Now searching for his friends, Sora met Donald Duck and Goofy, advisors to the one and only King Micky…I'm seeing a Disney pattern here. Anyone else?"

Luffy said, "I don't get it."

The others agreed with the captain. If there was a reference here they didn't get it.

Wiz said, "The pair joined Sora in her search for his friends, and eventually they did, at least they found Riku. It turns out, that Riku was meant to be the Keyblade master."

Boomstick said, "However, when that crazy magic sword learned that Riku was turning evil it flat out rejected him, and went back to Sora…just like how my ex-wife went back to her ex with his fancy car, longer fuse, and lack of vices…"

Everyone shuffled awkwardly as they realized that Boomstick was going off on a rant.

"Wait this guy was married?" Sanji asked, shocked that alcoholic gun lover had been in a relationship with someone.

"Must have been a short one," Nami muttered.

Wiz tapped his cohost on the shoulder, bringing out of his memories. The gun lover coughed into his hand in embarrassment and muttered, "Oh right, anyway, Sora got the keyblade back and since then has been on some insane adventures meeting up with several characters all over the place, and fighting Heartless after Heartless."

Wiz said, "Mostly thanks to his trademark weapon, the keyblade

Kingdom Key

Length: 3'5''

Main weapon to kill Heartless, but also attracts them

Not exclusively used by Sora

Regularly destroys things it should not

At least thirty other forms

Boomstick said, "This giant skeleton key might look like an oversized toy, but it is really an incredibly powerful weapon. I mean seriously this thing somehow manages to cut through everything that get in front of it, from mist to goddamn buildings!"

As Boomstick spoke they showed clips of Sora fighting against various monsters and creatures, mostly heartless, cutting through them with incredible ease.

"Holy cow!" Usopp yelled, "That guy could give you a run for your money, Zoro!"

Zoro rubbed his chin in thought as he imagined fighting against this kid. He had ot admit that the kid had some incredible power.

The others were in awe of Sora's power and wondered what else he could do.

Wiz said, "That is most likely because the keyblade is powered by Sora's heart. So long as the light in Sora's heart stays strong, the keyblade will not fail him."

Boomstick coughed out, "Hax."

"I don't know what that means, but I can understand it," Zoro said, "When it comes down to it, some fights are defined by the will and spirit of the fighter."

Usopp nodded and said, "Yeah, I can agree with you there."

Usopp thought back to his fight against a certain mole woman and a braindead batter.

Wiz said, "To add to it, the keyblade also have multiple different forms it can take. By swapping out the keychain on the bottom of the handle, Sora can transform the keyblade, granting higher attack or defense, but at the cost of a bit of magic."

Wiz suddenly snapped his fingers and said, "Oh, and it should also be noted that Sora's fighting style isn't exactly orthodox, mostly combining all of his experiences in fighting and using them to his advantage. He also combines this with a quickly mind, adapting to his opponents and using their own powers, weapons, or weaknesses against them."

"Zoro, do you think that him lacking formal training will affect the fight?" Robin asked.

Zoro rubbed his chin and thought, "I'd say about fifty/fifty. His style being unorthodox is a boon for him, as it would make him hard to predict. However, a swordsman, if trained well enough can use stronger and probably more effective techniques."

Boomstick scoffed and said, "And to go along with the crazy style, he's got all sorts of crazy abilities!"

Flow Motion

Teleport

Glide

Horizontal Slash – left to right slash attack

Blitz – jumping overhead attack

Retaliating Slash – counter after being knocked down

Slapshot – rapidly attacks nearby targets

Dodge Slash – hurts nearby enemies

Flash Step – fast guard breaking upper cut

Sliding Dash – close in and attack

Vortex – charging spin attack

Round Break – spin attack that hurts enemies

Vortex – spinning attack

Ripple Drive – crystalline shield that pushes back groups of enemies

Guard Break – combo that breaks guards

Explosions – relative to magic skill, knocks down enemies with small explosions

Aerial Sweep – leaps at midair targets

Aerial Drive – diagonal slashes at enemies

Aerial Spiral – aerial somersault attack

Aerial Finish – combo attacks midair target

Magnet Splash – Draws in enemies

Counter Guard – attacks immediately after blocking

Wiz said, "Sora's two main combat abilities are command reactions and flow motion. Reaction commands are special combat maneuvers that Sora can perform when fighting specific enemies, no matter how big, strong, or fast they are, he can react and adapt to them, using their weapons against him, or using their powers to his advantage. He can also use a special ability called Flow motion, an ability that allows him to traverse the terrain with incredible ease and skill. He can also teleport behind his enemies stunning them for a few seconds."

"So, he fights more with speed and agility then strength," Zoro reasoned.

Franky said, "So the guy is fast on the move. This could make things interesting.

Boomstick said, "And to top it all off, he's got a ton of special techniques he can use to take down his enemies. He can get in close with the Slide Dash and Vortex attacks, and deal damage with the Blitz, Slapshot, and Finishing Leap."

Wiz said, "He can also take to the sky and glide for short distances and use a series of aerial attacks called the Aerial Sweep, and several other moves in midair. And if he can't glide he'll just knock them into the air with the Upper Slash."

Boomstick said, "He's also a master when he fights outnumber. He can spin like tornado of doom with a grounded Vortex attack, summon a blasting shield with Ripple Drive, blast away at his enemies with Explosions, and literally curb stomp his enemies away with the Stun Impact."

Wiz continued, "He also has several moves made to break through his enemy's guards, and if you try to run away he'll bust out the Magnet Splash, which uses magnetic forces to draw his enemies in. In other words, no one is safe when you fight with Sora."

As they described the attacks each one was shown, showing Sora fighting several different heartless, big and small.

Zoro whistled in interest and said, "Dang, imagine if this guy ever showed up here. The navy would be hard pressed to stop this guy if he ever showed up.

Luffy said, "So cool. Hey, Usopp, do you think you can do that flowmotion thing?"

The sniper answered, "Luffy, I don't think it's possible, unless of course you happen to pull a keyblade out of absolutely nowhere."

Wiz continued, "He also has several finishing moves and special attacks called limit breaks."

Finishers and Limits

Ars Arcanum

Hurricane Blast

Lethal Frame

Ragnarok

Sonic Blade/Rave

Strike Raid

Vicinity Break

Zantetsuken

Trinity

Some are only available in limit form

Wiz said, "He can fire multiple beams of energy with Ragnarok, attack like a demon top with the Vicinity Break Spin attack, manipulate time with Lethal Frame, destroy with the brutal Ars Arcanum assault, and he can cut his enemies down to size with the Zantetsuken , and when he wants to unleash great power, he uses his limit called Trinity, which calls on his in power to unleash bright beams of light."

"So, he seems like a blister mixed with close and long-range attacks," Robin examined.

"He's a pretty well-rounded fighter," Zoro said.

"So cool," the childish trio said.

Brook said, "Oh, such incredible powers that sword gives him. My eyes would be wide if I still had them."

"Boomstick said, "And when his sword isn't enough, he can unleash some powerful magic!"

Magic spells

Aeroga – summons offensive tornado or shield of wind

Balloonga – summons explosive balloons

Blizzaga – summons ice spear

Firaga – launches ball of fire, or summons ring of fire

Thundaga – lightning from the sky

Graviga – lifts enemies into the air or crashes them on the ground

Magnega – attracts enemies and attacks continuously

Reflega – reflects attacks and hurts enemies

Curaga – heals wounds

Stopga – Stops Time

Warp – creates black hole

Boomstick said, "He can use Aeroga to defend, halving damage, or unleash a tornado of shredding winds, summons explosive wounds with Baloonga, and can manipulate the elements with Blizzaga, Firaga, Thundaga, and Graviga."

Wiz said, "He can also pull enemies in with Magnega, reflect attacks and counter with Reflega, can stop time with Stopga, and create a small black hole with Warp. And if he's ever really hurt he can heal himself, and his allies, with Curaga."

"So, he has a crazy powerful sword, can control the elements, heals himself, stops time, tears through space…is this guy supposed to be a god or something?" Nami yelled as she went through all of Sora's shown abilities so far.

Robin, currently drawing a keyblade on her note pad, said, "Maybe it is an effect of the keyblade? From what I've seen, he only seemed to get this powerful after getting it. Maybe when he's separated from it, he is weak."

Franky nodded at that. He was pretty strong himself, but if he ever ran out of cola he was weakened considerably.

"Damn, Boomstick yelled, "is there anything this kid can't do?"

Wiz said, "Well, there are times when he does need a boost. When he does this, he goes through an instant wardrobe change."

Drive Forms

Valor Form

-Red and Black

-increases strength, running, and jumping ability

-cannot decrease magic

-wields two keyblades

-requires Goofy to use

Wisdom Form

-Blue and black

-increases magical power and long-range attacks

-Cannot perform aerial combos

-Glides across the ground

-requires Donald to use

Master Form

-Yellow and Black

-Fusion of Wisdom and Valor forms

-Wields two keyblades

-combines magic with physical attacks

-best suited for aerial combat and crowd control

-requires both Donald and Goofy to use

Final Form

-White and Black

-Wields tow keyblades telepathically

-fusion of all three forms

Limit form

-Access to limit breaks

Wiz explained, "After getting a new wardrobe from the good fairies, Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather, Sora gained the ability to change into different forms, based on his clothes. This may seem stupid, but each one has its advantages."

Boomstick said, "His valor form increases his strength, running and jumping ability, and lets him wield two keyblades, but he can't use his magic while it is active. Thankfully, his wisdom form makes up for it by increasing his magical powers, and letting him roll around like he's on roller skates, though he loses the ability to fight in the air. His master form is a fusion of the valor and wisdom forms, and is more appropriate for crowd control, mixing the increased strength and magic with a rider reach. However, his strongest form is his final form. This form combines all three forms for his greatest strength."

Wiz added, "When necessary, however, he can access his Limit Form. While in this state he can access powerful limit breaks, emotion fueled attacks. However, there are a few problems."

Boomstick said, "Yeah, like all things awesome they have a time limit, plus he has to build up a lot of power over the course of battles to use them. Valor is the easiest to get, followed by Wisdom, Master, and Final, being the hardest. Plus, he kind of needs certain members of his team present so he can access them…well all, but the limit and final forms anyway."

"So, he needs to gain power over the course of a fight to be able to use these powers," Sanji said, "That could be a problem if he's fighting a lot of people and doesn't have time to heal."

Zoro said, "I never thought I'd see someone who needed help from someone else to get powers. Then again, there were those magnet guys back when we fought that guy who…"

Almost immediately, everyone stopped Zoro from speaking, not wanting to remember the time that their flag was stolen.

Meanwhile, Franky was reminded of his fight against Fukuro. In the beginning, it had been difficult because he hadn't been able to get the cola he needed to use his powers. It was only thanks to Chopper that he won. If he hadn't, he probably wouldn't be here right now.

Wiz said, "Speaking of which, Sora has his flaws."

Weaknesses

Can still be caught off guard

Magic depends on Mana

Naïve

Wiz said, "His magic is entirely dependent on the mana in his body. It can recover over time, but if he uses it too much outside of his Wisdom Form he can still be without it, he also has limits to how much punishment he can take."

"Eh, that last one is kind of a given," Chopper said, "The body can only handle so much."

Brook said, "Yes, it is thankful that we are much stronger than most, otherwise we would probably be dead."

Boomstick, "Plus he's kind of an idiot. He didn't get much in terms of schooling as a kid, so he's not the highest gun on the rack."

Wiz said, "It is also believed that if the keyblade is taken from him, he will lose his powers, but with his ability to summon it form pretty much anywhere, that is still up for debate."

Boomsitck said, "Anyway, he's taken on some of the tough characters and done some amazing things over the years."

Feats

Effortlessly cut through buildings

Held back a stomp from the Ground Shaker

Defeated Maleficent, Genie Jafar, and Hercules

Deflected magical lighting blast

Skilled enough to battle against Sephiroth, and stalemate Lingering Sentiment

Boomstick said, "He's cut through buildings. He's strong enough to take on at least two of the titans, and he's battle Hercules, who said he wasn't holding back. And that guy is strong enough to throw the Rock titan like a freaking toy over the horizon! Heck he was so strong that when he was in the weaker form a lion cub, he managed to stop this giant Ground Shaker thing, from stomping on him, and that thing, according to Wiz, weighs over 25 tons and it's. And just because he's fast doesn't mean he's slow. He once blocked a lightning bolt from a few feet away. Wiz, math that for us please."

Wiz pressed a button and the board of wisdom came down.

"Sure," the man said, "First the lightning feat. Scaling to Sora's height at the time, of about 4'9'', we can guess the distance to be between six and seven meters. Since it is visual lightning, it was likely moving at 9,8348,798 meters per second, that's 220 million miles an hour. This means that Sora must have drawn his sword and deflected it in 6.8 nanoseconds!"

"Whoa! That is fast," Usopp said, "imagine how fast that guy could be if he had that observation Haki."

The others were in complete and utter awe. With the strength he showed, the skills, the power, it was insane just how strong this kid was. It made them wonder if there was someone like that in the world. The thought of running into him sounded interest, but the scope of his enemies sounded incredibly terrifying.

"Dang, no wonder you can't touch this guy," Boomstick said, "Then again if I had some super powerful Key-shaped weapon too I'd probably be doing some insane stuff every day."

Wiz said, "Probably. However, there is one thing that must be known. Sora is still growing and is becoming stronger and stronger as time passes on. In the end, someday Sora may just end up becoming the god he is slowly becoming."

Wiz said, "Guess we'll just have to wait for kingdom hearts 3 to find out just how much closer he gets to godhood."

Everyone had their opinions of him. Sora seemed like a powerful fight and, from the sound of things, could probably take on the strongest members of the Navy if he wanted to and probably win. They also began to wonder just who his opponent was that could go toe to toe with him.

They quickly turned back to the door as they watched.

The doors closed and reopened.

Wizard said, "The kingdom of Lucis, a beautiful shining city. Home to the royal bloodline of the thirteen great kings. Throughout history, the warriors of this kingdom have stood strong and tall against all those who would stand against them."

Boomstick said, "These warriors were legendary, and the man who would take up their legacy would be their prince, Noctis Lucis Caelum, but that's a mouthful to say so, just call him Noctis…or Noct."

Noctis Lucis Caelum

Age: 20, 30 after timeskip

Prince of Lucis

True King, or king of light

Hates vegetable and bugs

Wiz said, "As a prince, Lucis lived a surprisingly normal life. He went to school, met people his age, and even found himself working at a camera store after school for money."

Boomstick looked confused as he said, "Wait, you mean to tell me that they didn't lock this prince up in some ivory tower and wait on him hand and foot?"

Wiz said, "No, it was through this that he learned the importance of bonds and independence. Of course, his father Regis had his reasons, which we will get to later."

Boomstick sighed and said, "Huh, I wondered when there would be a prince that wouldn't think of himself as god given human flesh. Stupid royal treatment."

"I wonder what reason the king would have for letting his son live a normal life?" Nami asked.

Robin rubbed her chin and thought, "I don't know, but it is probably important."

Franky rubbed his chin and thought, "Maybe it had something to do with connecting with the people. Back when I worked for Galley-La, before Tom was taken away, we would always make sure to go around town and help people. We did that to help connect and form relationships with our potential customers."

The others also wondered why king would want his son to go around the common people. Well everyone who could understand it, so Luffy was out on the thinking thing.

Wiz continued, "When he turned twenty Noctis was to be engaged to princess Lunafreya to bring together a rival kingdom, Niflheim. Unfortunately, this was, yet another, game of thrones style scheme."

Boomstick said, "Yeah, it turns out that engagement was false, Nilfheim invaded, killed king Regis, and you can guess where this is going right?"

Chopper asked, "What is game of thrones?"

The others shrugged, wondering what the hosts were talking about.

"I don't know," Zoro said, "but for some reason when he says that, I think about bright red colors and it makes me sick."

Everyone looked at Zoro confused, before turning back to the show.

Wiz said, "Like any good prince, Noctis swore that he would take down the invaders, avenge his father, and reclaim his throne. However, to do this, he would need to get the right tools for the job."

Boomstick said, "Noctis and his team travelled the land gathering up the Thirteen Royal Arms, powerful weapons used by the former kings and queens of Lucis. He wields various swords, such as the blade of the mystic, his personal preference, the fast katanan of the warrior, the sword of the tall, which hits like a chainsaw, grinding into the victim, the dual blades of the wanderer, and the sword of the wise king."

Zoro whistled and said, "Those are a lot of swords. I wonder how he would hold up against my style?"

The others imagined Noctis on their ship.

Boomstick continued, "It's not just limited to swords, however. He's got the trident of the oracle, which can create afterimages to attack targets, the slow but bone crushing mace of the fierce, the fast flying star of the rogue, the long-distance bow of the clever, the body splitting axe of the conqueror, and the scepter of the pious, whatever the hell that means, which is a jack of all trades, using the methods of attack from the other arms."

Wiz said, "And don't think that he's completely helpless. When on the defensive, he brings out the shield of the just, a powerful shield that can block pretty much anything."

Franky said, "Huh…this guy has got a good amount of offense. He might just give Sora a run for his money with all those weapons."

Usopp said, "I wonder where he keeps them all though. It must be difficult to carry them all around, at once."

Boomstick said, "Damn, he must have some really deep pockets."

Wiz said, "Not exactly. Whenever, a royal arm is found, it is transformed into light energy and merges with Noctis' body. This enables him to forge the weapons out of thing air whenever he needs them. He can also summon them to act as a barrier for some extra defense, and has enough force to knock armored soldiers over."

"Well…that answers that question," Usopp said, glad to have his question answered.

"Wow, it's like what Franky does with his weapons, but cooler," Luffy said, drooling at the thought of seeing such weapons in real life.

Though Franky didn't want to admit it.

Wiz continued, "He also wears the ring of Lucci, a special armament that gives him incredible power allowing him to wield the weapons, as well as give him almost instantaneous mastery of them all. It is also connected to a powerful magic crystal, a relic guarded by the Lucis kings for years."

Once again, Boomstick coughed and said, "Hax"

"Yeah, that seems like cheating to me," Zoro said, crossing his arms.

This was met by others, who nodded.

Wiz looked at his cohost and said, "Anyway, it also grants him some pretty impressive abilities

Combat abilities

Warp strike

Phase counter

Armiger

Wiz continued, "By throwing his weapon, he can teleport to them, with a powerful attack called a Warp Strike. He can also phase through solid matter to avoid damage and unleash powerful counters."

"Dang, that ring sounds like it is pretty awesome," Nami said, "and it looks pretty fashionable too."

Robin rolled her eyes and said, "I'm not big on jewelry, but it is interesting to know that such a relic has been passed down through his family. It must be quite precious to him."

As she said this, Luffy reached for his hat, Zoro for his swords, Chopper for his hat, Usopp for his goggles, and Nami glanced at where the orange trees.

Boomstick said, "However, the best ability he has is the Armiger. With this he can wield all the royal arms at the same time, and unleash brutal combos. Damn, this guy is like a walking medieval armory."

Wiz said, "Well don't get too attached to them because that's not the only type of power he has. Like many a character he also has access to magic."

Wiz said, "Throughout the world, there are special veins of magic that run through the world. Noctis can drain energy from these into flasks which he can use for spells. He can attack using different spells for fire, ice and lightning. Fire, fira, and firaga burn, thunder, thundara, and thundaga shock, and blizzard, blizzara, and blizzaga, freeze the area in a massive blizzard."

Boomsitck said, "And these flasks aren't just one hit wonders. He can use different casts, to fire up to five spells, either of the same kind or different. He can also use other modifications to curse, poison, increase anything gained from the defeated enemy, kill suddenly, freeze them in place, boost potency, and increase damage. And if he wants to unleash a hell of a lot of damage, he can fill them all up, and use the Flare, Freeze, and Electron spells. If you can't tell which is which, you are an idiot, and these spells are powerful enough to kill massive creatures."

Wiz said, "However, some of the modifiers, such as the failcast, and blast cast, can have negative side effects, hurting the caster or misfiring and doing nothing."

"So, he can modify his spells like you can modify my ammunition," Usopp said, "That is bound to play a part in things."

Franky nodded and said, "Yeah, but don't forget, he also has some bad side effects if he isn't careful. That one that does nothing sounds like a serious gamble…and not the entertaining kind."

Luffy was reminded of his second gear and third gear as he saw that. Second gear exhausted him if he used it for too long, and if he wasn't careful he couldn't move at all. His third gear reduced him to a smaller size for a certain amount of time, making him vulnerable.

Chopper thought back to the rumble balls. If he ate too many in a short period of time, he lost control of his shapeshifting forms. And if he ate more than that, he would transform into that giant monstrous form of his. Chopper shuddered as he remembered the damage he had done to the tower and how he possibly endangered his friends.

Sanji thought back to the devil leg, or Diable Jambe, technique. Whenever he used hit, he had to keep his foot of the ground, otherwise the power would turn against him and burn him.

Boomstick said, "Yeah, but if messing with the elements isn't enough that ring of his gives him three more spells, the most commonly used is the holy spell, which he uses to instantly damage anyone near him, and he can tear the fabric of reality with the Alterna spell."

"Dang that has to be useful," Franky said, "Almost makes me wish we could do magic. It sounds like it would be pretty useful in fighting off a lot of different enemies."

The others agreed. It seemed both cool to see and incredibly useful. It was also around this point that everyone realized that this magic seemed to be much more powerful than the magic used by Shang Tsung.

Wiz said, "He can also use the Death spell, which can instantly take down a single combatant, thought the stronger the opponent, the longer it takes to work."

"Dang, that sounds like it was brutal," Robin said, thinking that the spell sounded a little bit sadistic.

Brook said, "It does…"

Everyone looked at the skeletal pervert as they noted the dark tone he used.

The skeleton continued, "To have the life slowly drain from you, unable to stop it, just waiting for that moment for everything to go black…it is a feeling that I know all too well."

Everyone shuddered and began to comfort the skeleton. The former human was glad for the comfort and was soon back to his old self again.

Boomstick said, "Yeah, but it makes it all worth it and with these, he's done some impressive shit."

Feats

Defeated astrals

Defeated giant creatures

Defeated Ardyn, after ten-year timeskip

Cleansed world of evil and darkness, at the cost of his life

Wiz said, "He's defeated giant creature like the Adamantoise, the Titan, and Ifrit. He's taken on various warriors of great skill and power, and he eventually took down the villain, Ardyn, the man behind all of the madness in his country."

"Yeah, go Noctis!" Luffy yelled happily.

This cheer was met with similar sounds of approval.

Boomstick said, "Yeah, this is where things get complex. You see, that guy Ardyn was originally one of the kings of Lucis, but he went crazy, became immortal, and got kicked out. So, he went to Nilfheim and took over. It was here that Noctis learned the truth, behind his father making him live outside the prince's ivory tower. There was a prophecy of the True King, who would clear the world of darkness…or some Star Wars style shit."

"Star Wars? Wait wasn't that something with Boba Fett?" Nami asked.

Robin said, "Maybe it had something to do with those jedi that were mentioned."

Everyone just shrugged it off and thought about what Boomstick meant.

Wiz said, "This brings us to some important problems. Certain abilities used by the royal arms can drain his magic, and the spells he can use are limited by the number of flasks he has. If he runs out, he can't use his magic. There is also the Ring of Lucii has a nasty side effect to draining his lifeforce and would kill him…actually it did kill him."

Everyone was horrified at the fact that his tool had killed him.

Wiz continued, "To fulfill this prophecy, he entered the light crystal from which the ring derived its power, absorbed it for a decade, and came out to destroy Ardyn, losing his life in the process leaving behind the legacy of the True King."

Boomstick smiled and said, "Hail to the king, baby!"

"He killed a freaking immortal?!"

Everyone yelled out in shock. Once the shock wore off, which took quite some time, everyone began to debate on who would. For the first time, none of them had a clear opinion. They all thought both characters were great fighters and were incredibly powerful. They had great magic, weapons, skills, and could be very awesome in a fight.

Wiz said, "Alright the combatants are set. Let's end this debate once and for all."

Boomstick yelled, "It's time for a DEATH BATTLE!"

The doors closed and reopened.

We open to see a dark blue barren wasteland. In the shadow of a menacing castle, there was an army of small creatures with yellow eyes and antennae on their heads.

"Are those heartless?" Chopper asked, "They don't look dangerous. They actually look kind of cute."

Sanji put out his cigarette and said, "I think those are only basic heartless, Chopper."

There was the sound of a brutal beating. Suddenly, Sora, Donald, and Goofy burst through the heartless, taking down every single one that got in their way.

Up in the tower, we see a large anthromorphic cat wearing armor, and a woman with green skin, horns, long black robes and a staff. The names, Pete the Cat, and Maleficent appeared near them, respectively.

"Oh, that no good do-gooder," Pete said, annoyed that their plans were being interrupted by the keyblade wielder again, "We got to do something your excellence."

The woman turned an uninterested gaze towards the cat and said, "Leave the thinking to me, Pete. I have something that should turn the tide in our favor."

Maleficent smirked evilly as she held out her hand, showing the shattered remains of a ring.

"Is that…the Ring of Lucii?" Robin asked, shocked.

"Oh, this does not look good," Brook said, "my bones are rattling with fear."

"What is that?" the cat asked, confused.

The evil woman smiled and said, "A relic from one of the many world's we've visited. It was difficult getting it, but I think it should work very well for us."

Pete just nodded, knowing it was a bad idea to disagree with his mistress. That and the ring had a familiar feel to it. He shuddered slightly as he remembered a certain silver haired monster.

Black and green magic began forming around her hand. after a few moments, the ring reformed. With a shout, she threw the ring at the three heroes, the object flying through like a green comet. Moments later, it slammed into the ground a few feet from the heroes.

"Hey, what's the big idea?" Donald asked, turning towards the explosion caused by the flying ring.

"I don't like the looks of this," Goofy said, brandishing his shield.

The heartless could feel their mistress' magic around the comet and began to back away, also sensing incredible power.

Out of the smoke rose a man. He wore a black suit with gold jewelry, and a black and gold pauldron on his left shoulder, which was accompanied by a black cape with intricate gold chains behind it, with a high-backed collar. He had course features and a beard, his blue eyes glaring at the trio, with blue eyes, that briefly flashed red.

Noctis Lucis Caelum, had come back from the dead.

"Is that Noctis?" Sanji asked, surprised.

"Apparently, this is what he looks like after he trained for ten years in the crystal," Robin analyzed.

"Wow," Nami said, blushing slightly at the admittingly handsome man.

Sanji muttered angrily under his breath.

Donald brandished his wand and said, "Who's this palooka? Get out of our way!"

He tried to fire a thundaga from his wand, only for the controlled Noctis to summon his weapons, acting as a shield. He charged forward brandishing his mace and swung hard, sending Donald skyward. The duck magician screaming in rage and anger as he flew.

Goofy charged only for him to go intangible, avoiding the blast and sending him flying, screaming all the way.

"YAHOOHOOHOOHOOEY!" (I have never used the Goofy Holler. This is what it sounds like to me.

Luffy laughed and said, "That yell was funny."

The others couldn't help, but agree.

Noctis turned his attention to Sora, brandishing the sword of the father. Sora got into his usual stance and shot forward. Noctis threw the sword warping behind Sora, and spinning on his heel with a horizontal slash.

Sora spun around quickly and blocked with a loud clang and a rain of sparks.

FIGHT!

The two began fighting, swinging their weapons as fast as they could, resulting in loud clangs of metal and sparks raining on the ground. Sora managed to get under Noctis' defense, but the mind controlled prince was able to go intangible to avoid it, and spun on his heel, brandishing the axe of the conqueror.

Sora leapt back to avoid the weapon, as it came crashing down right where he stood, and countered with some magic.

"Balloonga!"

Multiple balloons shot out of the keyblade towards the prince of Lucis. One of the balloons explode din his face, doing damage. However, before the others could, he warped away and equipped the star of the rogue. Focusing on the balloons, he threw the weapon, slicing through them and going right for Sora. Sora deflected the large star, but was unable to block a shot from the bow of clever.

Noctis warped next to Sora and unleashed the blades of the wanderer. A barrage of fast paced slashes was followed by a powerful swing that knocked Sora on his ass. He then equipped the mace again and bashed Sora skyward.

Sora recovered in the air and noticed a small canyon, with an idea in mind, he quickly glided in the direction of the area. Noctis growled, as he warped upwards to Sora to stop him, but that proved to be a mistake. Sora caught he mace as it materialized and swung hard, batting the prince away.

"Hey, why is he running?" Usopp said.

Robin answered, "He must have a plan."

Zoro said, "The guy can think on his feet, as we know."

Sora had to glide a few times before he reached the canyon. A purple aura covered him as he rushed into the canyon running across the wall of it with ease, dodging and jumping over rocks and formations.

Nami snapped her fingers and said, "I get it, he's going to try to use flowmotion to outmaneuver Noctis' warping and intangibility."

Sora turned his head and saw Noctis behind him, the katana of the warrior held in his hands. He turned and charged, keyblade at the ready. The two weapons smashed into each other, sparks raining and lighting up the canyon. The two met again and again, the enhanced speed of the katana, capable of keeping up with Sora's flowmotion. At time, Noctis went intangible to avoid attacks, but Sora countered them with his enhanced reflexes. It was here that Sora revealed his teleportation ability, which he used to get around. The battlefield was off like a light show, that only those with the sharpest of eyes could see.

Suddenly, Sora launched into the air and the explosion ability, sending multiple explosive orbs down at the prince, who countered by bringing out the shield of the just. The blasts didn't hurt, but he found himself face to face with Sora after he removed the shield.

"Ars Arcanum!"

The barrage of attacks slammed into Noctis, causing him to cry out and drawing blood. The prince was sent flying backwards and hit the ground. He recovered quickly, however, and pulled out a magic flask.

"Quincast Blizzaga!"

A suddenly flash of light came from the flask, and the air got colder. The temperature dropped as the snow an ice began forming on the ground around Sora, who now found it very hard to move. Noctis took advantage and warped next to him, katana at the ready. The prince unleashed a barrage of attacks that drew blood from Sora. The prince of Lucis finished the assault with a blow from the sword of the tall.

Sora was thrown backwards, and was till freezing cold and was having a hard time moving. Noctis leapt in for another strike, but this time, Sora reacted.

"Firaga!"

Noctis went intangible to avoid the attack, and warped away to avoid the flames. The flames melted the ice covering Sora's body, and with the extra distance he cast another spell.

"Curaga!"

With a flash of green, Sora's wounds were now healed. He looked at his opponent and saw he was pulling out another flask.

"Oh, I forgot he could do that," Nami said, "Makes me wish you could do something like that in real life, huh Chopper?"

The reindeer nodded as he turned his attention back to the fight.

Not allowing him to do that, he aimed with his keyblade.

"Ragnarok!"

The barrage of lasers shot out of his keyblade, right towards his opponent. Noctis brought his shield to absorb the blow. When he moved it, Sora was right in his face. Noctis' ring glowed as he went intangible and unleashed a large blast of light with the holy spell.

Sora was sent back, but he wasn't hurt badly. Noctis attempted to throw the flask, however Sora lashed out with another spell.

"Stopga!"

Sora threw out his hand, and Noctis froze. Sora didn't waste any time. He shot forward with his weapon drawn. He unleashed a barrage of assaults and then with a powerful burst from the Stun Impact, launched him backwards breaking the flask in the process.

Sora charged again, only for Noctis to pull out his bow again. The projectiles were no match for Sora's moves as he ran through and jumped over them, even running up the canyon wall.

Noctis was growing frustrated and held out his ring, a red glow coming over it, as he aimed it at Sora. Sora then began to feel the energy drain as he life was drained by the death spell. Sora reacted quickly with a spell of his own.

"Thundaga!"

The blast of lighting shot forward and nearly struck Noctis, who avoided it by going intangible, but also breaking his concentration and ending the spell.

Thinking quickly, Noctis pulled out the katana of the warrior again, and got into a stance, filling the sword with energy. Sora saw this and reacted. He jumped down to the canyon floor and got into a similar stance for one of his finishers, the Zantetsuken.

The two were silent as they stared at each other, building up power. The two then launched forward in the blink of an eye. The two attacks met and cancelled each other out.

The two then fell to their knees panting. This fight had gone on for far too long. Noctis turned towards the boy, his eyes glowing red as he began focusing his magic into his ring for the Alterna.

Sora turned back to his opponent and felt his magical reserves were starting to get low. He had enough for one last spell. Focusing his powers, he began to use it.

The two spun and fired their spells, Noctis the Alterna, and Sora using the Warp spell.

Two tears in reality, two things that should not be mixed. The two spells clashed and then exploded creating a massive black void which began sucking up everything that was in the vicinity. Sora attempted to get out of the way, but was sucked up, as was Nocits, who couldn't warp away in time.

The two now floated in a large black void, the only thing present being a massive pair of white doors. The two floated in the void, confused and shocked at what had just happened. The two then glanced up at the portal they had used and saw that it was rapidly closing.

"That doesn't look good,"

The two launched forward to escape, and wound up crashing into each other. They both realized they need to finish this fast, so Noctis activated the Armiger and Sora went into his Final Form, having stored enough energy for it over the battle.

The two met repeatedly, shining bright in the black void like two stars fighting for supremacy. The two were a few feet from the portal before they both attempted one last charge, the floating keyblades and the glowing weapons met one last time.

There was a moment of silence before Sora shot out the portal and Noctis was sliced in half with a scream of pain.

KO!

Sora landed on the ground with a smirk as he crossed his arms with a feeling of victory.

"Yeah, go Sora!" Luffy yelled.

Nami said, "That was crazy."

Robin nodded and said, "I agree. That was some impressive maneuvering.

The others nodded and agreed, agreeing that the fight was impressive, and they saw the two fighters were incredibly adept at fighting. Now onto the results.

"Holy shit! That was insane!" Boomstick said.

Wiz said, "Early on, Noctis and Sora were evenly matched. Both were a great at dodging and countering attacks in their own special way, and while Noctis had more variety in terms of weapons, Sora's single incredibly powerful weapon could keep up. In the end, it boiled down to experience."

Boomstick said, "Yeah, while Noctis and Sora both had teams at their backs, they both fought pretty well on their own, but Sora has just fought far, far greater opponents."

Wiz said, "Noctis always had a team on his back, with their help he's taken down the large opponents, plus in canon he uses the astrals he summons to defeat large and powerful opponents. And remembered the immortal Ardyn, he only defeated him after summoning the souls of all his ancestors to help him. Sora has taken on several larger and stronger opponents, like the mysterious creature and genie Jafar, and defeated them singlehandedly, unless you count the help from the flying carpet."

Boomstick added, "Plus with his insane ability in terms reaction time, he could easily keep up with Noctis' warping…because he's fought teleporting enemies before, usually by grabbing onto them or to the thing they're teleporting to."

Wiz said, "Yeah, after dealing with the members of Organization XIII, Sora had experience against enemies who can go intangible, teleport, and warp reality. Simply put, Noctis didn't have anything that Sora hadn't encountered before, and since his style relies on adapting to his opponent's weapons, powers, and skills, all it took was the right move and a final attack."

Boomstick said, "In the end, Sora had the key to victory."

Wiz nodded and said, "The winner is Sora."

Everyone cheered at the victory.

Next time on death battle…

Before anyone could get into the next battle, a large explosion rocked the ship. Everyone immediately ran up to the deck and was shocked at what they saw, there was a trio of navy ships sailing right towards them firing their cannons.

Nami yelled, "Damn it, we must have been sitting still for too long. Everyone get ready."

With that, everyone got to their stations and prepared to fight.

Cut! Okay, everyone next chapter we take a break from the battle and get to some development. I hope you all enjoy the fight and I hope to see you all again soon. In other times, enjoy yourselves. Criticism is welcome, blames are ignored…you know who you are.
