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!

10. Kratos vs Spawn

I own nothing. I thank Cup full of whimsy for helping me yet again.

Oh, and the Gamma102, Mattardis is doing his own original death battles and he already did Davy Jones vs LeChuck.

I thank everyone for the support they have given me, and I have an announcement to make. I am only going to be doing twenty original Death Battles, counting this one, with extra ones for the strawhat crew.

Straw Hat Death Battles

Luffy vs Gai – battle of the stubborn warriors

Zoro vs Erza – battle of the sword warriors, complete

Nami vs Lucy Heartfilia

Usopp vs Mine – sniper showdown.

Sanji vs Rock Lee – masters of the kicks

Chopper vs Beast – battle of the scorned doctors

Robin vs Kurapika – battle of the outcasts

Franky vs Adam Jensen – cyborg slamfest.

Brook vs Spinal – skeletal smackdown

Jinbei vs Kisame Hoshigaki

I changed Luffy's battle partner to who I think would be better, plus Gai in his red form vs Luffy's Fourth Gear sounds like it would be insane. For Nami, I went with a girl who deals with crazy people, and seems to be the most normal members of her team…or at least the one with the most sense. For Usopp, I went with the dutiful sniper who always manages to come through in a pinch. Sanji and Lee are both brutal martial artists who were both looked down on in their lives, but have risen to be considered powerful. And, personally, I can't wait to see Judge's face when someone finally breaks that maniacs' jaw. Chopper, I shouldn't have to explain. Robin and Kurapika were both assassins and outcasts in their respective world. Franky and Adam are both cybrogs and both have their main weapons located in their arms. Brook and spinal seemed like it would be fun, plus any chance to write a Brook moment is a delight. Finally, Jinbe and Kisame are both fish-like in appearance, and are nearly unstoppable.

Also, if anyone can think of someone canon ending Naruto would be a good match for, please tell me. Now on to the filler chapter. Now, if you notice I took away the Pyrrah, Eustass kid fight. That's because I feel that Kid's full power hasn't been shown. If they go into more detail I the show, I may spring this battle later.

Chapter 10: God slayer vs God slayer

The Straw Hat crew and their mysterious guest sat in wait as the next video loaded. Isom's words from the previous episode ran through their minds. Someone that they couldn't beat? They had gone against some tough people before, so just how strong were these people.

They turned their heads back to the show when the music began to play.

"There is an old saying in the world," Boomstick said, "When one seeks revenge, build two graves. Obviously, for the person you intend to kill, and for the person who was stupid enough to get in your way."

Robin interrupted, "No, the two graves refers to the person you are seeking, and for the man you once were."

Everyone looked at Robin, who simply said, "I got the same lecture a lot when I was young."

Wiz said, "While the old saying, doesn't say that, it actually does some up our contestants for the day. Kratos, the ghost of Sparta."

Boomstick said, "And Spawn, the renegade demon from hell. He's Wiz, I'm Boomstick and, were pitting two hardcore bad asses against each other in an awesome Death Battle!"

"Hardcore?" Chopper asked.

Isom answered, "Hardcore refers to a character who is incredibly strong, durable, and can fight for a great amount of time. I should warn you all though, some of the stuff these two go through is nasty, and I mean really nasty."

Everyone looked at each other before turning towards the screen.

Wiz said, "Ancient Greece. A beautiful time of great cities, and filled with mystical beasts, both beautiful and dangerous. All of them held under the watchful eyes of the gods of Olympus."

Boomstick said, "Yeah, but we'll get to those pains in the asses later. What we're focusing on is the city of Sparta, ruled by the warrior race the Spartans. It is here that Kratos was born."

Kratos

-Demigod, former god of war

-bad ass, selfish anti-hero

-has the worst luck ever

-somehow survived the apocalypse

Wiz pressed a button, showing a young Kratos, who was a small boy, training alongside another boy, who had a birthmark on his face and body.

"I think that might be the pale guy from the trailer," Sanji said, rubbing his chin.

"Ancient warriors?" Robin said, "I don't remember reading about them. Are they from your world, Isom?"

The interdimensional traveler said, "Yes. The Spartans were a brutal warrior race. According to history, they lived and breathed the art of war. They were warriors of incredible skill and braver, with a small army of three hundred Spartans taking down and army several times their size."

Zoro whistled and said, "Sounds like my kind of people."

Wiz continued, "Kratos living a pretty normal life, training alongside his younger brother Deimos. The two brothers training with the dreams of becoming great spartan warriors."

Boomstick said, "Unfortunately, this didn't happen. You see the gods of Olympus had a problem. An oracle, basically an old lady who can see the future, predicted that some mortal man with a bizarre mark on his face would destroy Olympus."

"Oh, it's going to be a self-fulfilling prophecy, isn't it?" Robin asked.

Isom nodded.

Chopper asked, "Self-fulfilling prophecy?"

Surprisingly, it was Zoro who answered, "A self-fulfilling prophecy is a prophecy that fulfilled itself. Basically, if people try to stop it, they wind up causing it."

Everyone looked at Zoro with shocked expressions, and he explained, "My teacher back home told me about another master who was given a prophecy by a fortune teller that he would be killed in the future. He did everything that he could to stop it, but wound up bringing it about his own death."

Everyone accepted the swordsman's answer and turned towards the screen.

Boomstick continued, "So two of the gods, Ares, the god of war, and Athena, the goddess of wisdom, came down and kidnapped Deimos, believing him to be the marked warrior…which would later come back to bite them in the ass."

They show the image of the shadowed Ares and Athena on horseback, kidnapping Deimos, who called out Kratos' name as the young man was swept away, with said boy laying in the rubble of a stand, as a cut was on his eye.

Wiz said, "After that, Kratos gave himself a tattoo that mirrored his brother's birthmark to honor him, and from then on swore that he would never be weak. That he would not let anyone else precious to him be lost."

"Wow," Luffy said, as he flashed back to the day that Sabo died. It was then that he swore that he wouldn't lose any of his crew or family, both he and Sabo.

Zoro flashed back to the day that he lost his old friend Kuina and how her death lead to him becoming who he was today.

Book felt his non-existent heart clench as he remembered the death of his crew, and his following revival. How the memories of his crew helped push him through his many, many years of loneliness.

Chopper felt his eyes sting with tears slightly, as he remembered the death of Dr. Hilukluk. His death, and how he helped him and influenced him to become a doctor.

Wiz continued, "Kratos continued with his life, eventually becoming a member of the Spartan army, marrying his wife, Lysandra, and had a daughter named Calliope."

Wiz pressed a button showing Kratos embracing his wife, with his daughter coming up to them.

"Why do I have a feeling that things are about to go downhill fast?" Brook asked, "I have a deep chill in my bones."

Sanji said, "That makes sense since almost every character we've seen has some tragic backstory. Though, I have to say he did marry a very beautiful woman."

Boomstick said, "Unfortunately, things kind of went bad after that. You see, his daughter caught the plague and was sentenced to be thrown in a gorge to die."

"WHAT!?" everyone yelled as they turned towards their secret guest.

Isom sighed and said, "The Spartans would do this. Because they believed in efficiency, anyone who didn't uphold their ideas of perfection, or seemed to spread disease, they would throw the down a deep ravine, so it wouldn't spread."

The group gulped in horror as they saw this happening in their minds and felt their blood run cold.

Boomstick continued, "Now this pissed Kratos off, and he tried to find a way to save his daughter, like any good father should. Eventually, he found a way with the ambrosia, a mythical drink that could heal all sickness and wounds…which sounds like something I should get my hands on when I get hurt."

Wiz said, "Taking several men, Kratos went out for the Ambrosia, but what he didn't know was that the gods had set up a game, betting on who would get the Ambrosia, with Ares, the same guy who helped kidnap his brother, betting on Kratos."

"Wait…the gods were making a game out of this?" Zoro asked, sounding rather upset.

Isom said, "Yeah. You didn't think that Kratos' daughter getting sick was just a coincidence, did you?"

Franky then asked, "Wait…that was to make him go after the ambrosia? What did the others do?"

Isom rubbed his chin and said, "Well, if I remember correctly, Poseidon and Hermes both caused plagues, and Artemis caused women to give birth to stillborn children."

Everyone's eyes were wide in shock at what they heard. They did all that just for a game?"

"Was there a prize for this game?" Robin asked.

Isom simply answered, "A statue of the god who won."

There was another moment of silence as everyone processed what the prize was and the stuff that the gods did for it.

Luffy summed up everyone's thoughts with a single sentence.

"The gods are asses."

Wiz said, "In spite of going against several other champions chosen by other gods, Kratos found the ambrosia, and healed his daughter, but lost all of them he brought with him."

Boomstick said, "You would think that doings so would have gotten him in trouble, but his victory got him in the Spartan army as a captain. He would later rise up a general due to his unorthodox tactics."

Wiz nodded, "However, Kratos' past soon caught up with him. During his quest for the ambrosia he encountered a barbarian prince named Alrik. Alrik sought the ambrosia to heal his ill father. Blaming Kratos for his father's death, Alrik went after Kratos with an army, slaughtering his men. As Kratos was about to be overtaken, Kratos, in deperation, called out to the heavens, pledging his allegiance in exchanged for the death of his enemies."

They show the clip of Ares coming down from the heavens, killing the barbarian army, including Alrik, and then branding him with the Blades of Chaos.

Zoro looked intrigued at the sight of the blades wrapped Kratos wore on his back, as were in fact chained to his arms.

The others, however, winced at the insane amount of bloodshed, as well as the sight of the chains being branded onto his arms. Chopper quickly buried himself in Robin's side in the hopes of blocking out the image of the wounds being formed.

Wiz continued, "Now under Ares' control, the Spartan warrior became near unstoppable, raiding villages in Ares' name, his pride and bloodlust blinding him to what he was becoming. However, it all came to a head when Ares sent him to a temple. Against the warnings of an oracle, Kratos entered the temple, and proceed to slaughter the people inside."

Boomstick said, "Unfortunately, Kratos ignored her, and slaughtered everyone in the temple. When his task was done…Kratos recognized two of the people inside…his own wife and daughter, laid amongst the bodies, slain by his own hands…but hey, he managed to save some money on divorce and alimony."

"THAT IS NOT FUNNY!"

Isom pulled his fingers from his ears, as the shout shook the entire ship, and echoed throughout the air, scaring away a few birds that were flying over the sea. Clearly everyone was unimpressed by the joke Boomstick had made, and Isom had to agree that it was in poor taste.

Wiz said, "Ares did this, to sever Kratos from his life as a mortal, but it did something else. With their deaths, Kratos cursed Ares' name and turned his back on the god of war, but before he left, he was cursed by the oracle who warned him, the ashes of his family becoming burned to his body, a permanent remind of his sin."

They showed a clip of the Oracle pointing at Kratos, as ashes flew from the fire behind him, attaching themselves to his skin and turning it a pale ghostly white.

"Oh man, that has to be brutal," Brook said, "To be reminded of your worst moment every time that you look in the mirror. I can only imagine what he went through."

Franky glanced down at his large arms, he briefly remembered the day the battleships he built were used to attack his home and make he and his friends look like criminals. Being set up like that really irked him, and made him glad that he eventually got to smash down Spandam with his own elephant.

Brook felt some sympathy from Kratos. He too remembered the moment his crew died when he was still a captain of the Rumbar pirates, and how he lost them because he had gotten cocky and hadn't expected them to be wielding poison-coated weapons.

The rest of the crew felt their hearts reach out to Kratos. To be tricked into killing your own daughter and wife. It was horrible.

"And Kratos' suffering didn't end there," Boomstick said, "Because he broke his oath with Ares, he was deemed an oath breaker and was captured by the furies, basically three crazy chicks who can pull off all kinds of illusions. Kratos was captured by them, tortured for two weeks, got out, and killed all three."

They showed clips of Kratos breaking out of the prison of the damned, and murdering the three furies, fighting them in their various forms.

"Dang this guy is tough," Luffy said, "he could probably take us on if he can fight these things."

Wiz said, "All the while, he was helped by Orkos, the fourth fury, and the runt of the family. At the end, however, Kratos was forced to kill Orkos to truly be free of his oath to Ares. An unfortunate trend that would keep happening."

"He had to kill his own friends on several occasions?" Sanji asked, somewhat horrified.

Isom said, "No…throughout his life Kratos was either betrayed by his friends or they were killed for being in league with him. You can only imagine what that does to a person's mind."

Everyone was silent as a sense of foreboding began to fill them.

Wiz continued, "With his oath ended, Kratos began to experience terrible nightmares of the death of his wife and daughter, and no matter how many people he killed or women he slept with, they would not end. In the hopes that the gods would relieve him of his nightmares, Kratos began to serve them, performing various tasks, including holding off the Persian army, and saving Helios, the god of the sun, from Persephone, the queen of the underworld. It wasn't until ten years has passed, that Kratos was given his final task…kill the god of war, and the source of his suffering, Ares."

"It looks like Kratos is finally going to get some long overdue payback," Zoro said.

Sanji said, "Yeah, but remember the whole two graves things, moss head. I think things might get worse before they get better."

Chopper gulped in fear, while Brook and Franky nodded. They had all wanted revenge before, and it didn't end well as they were nearly killed at the time. They had a feeling that Kratos was going to do what they didn't, and it wouldn't go well.

Boomstick said, "With his eyes bent of revenge, Kratos prepared to get enough power to do so by opening Pandora's box, a mythical box that contained all the evil in the world. Like that giant closet with so many skeletons you never want to open it. By opening the box, Kratos grew to the size of a mountain, and battled the god of war in an epic battle where he was forced to go through the torture of killing his family again, being smashed by rising mountains, and showing just how powerful he was."

As Boomstick spoke they showed an image of Kratos' battle with ares. The first part with Ares' war hammer slamming in the ground, and being beaten by Kratos, his fight with his copies to defend his wife and daughter, and his final battle as Kratos stood over the beaten god of war,

"I was trying to make you a great warrior," Ares said, trying to reason with Kratos.

"You succeeded," Kratos said before he stabbed the god of war, finally ending him.

Chopper gulped and nearly threw up the sight of the violent battle, and the death of Ares.

Zoro nodded, glad that Kratos got his revenge.

Franky and Brook, while slightly glad that Kratos finally managed to get revenge, they had a distinct feeling that things were going to get worse before they got better.

The rest of the group, seemed somewhat nervous.

Wiz said, "With this act, Kratos was absolved of his crimes, but the gods refused to remove his nightmares. With the hope of being freed gone, Kratos threw himself off a cliff, hoping to end the nightmares once and for all."

"Oh, come on," Zoro yelled, "He takes the coward's way out."

The others somewhat understood as they didn't like taking the coward's way out, however some of them could also understand the sense of hopelessness that could lead him to it. Many of them had felt hopelessness before, but they didn't go that far.

Boomstick said, "But, fortunately for his franchise, he was saved at the last second by Athena, who offered him a place upon Ares throne. Kratos had officially become the god of war."

"Does anyone else think that that was a bad idea?" Sanji asked.

Brook said, "Yes, I must agree. Giving someone like Kratos godly power does not seem like a smart idea."

Isom said, "Hey, nobody ever said that gods had to be smart. I mean…remember Shang Tsung?"

Luffy scoffed and said, "Gods are idiots."

Wiz said, "A definite upgrade for sure, but Kratos didn't get a respite, as he had to stop some of Ares' old disciples from reviving him with the ambrosia, fighting off a horde of zombie Spartans, the same ones he abandoned years ago, and managed to reunite with his mother and brother…the former of which he was forced to kill when she was mutated into a monster, and the latter who was killed by Thanatos after being freed by Kratos."

Boomstick said, "Yeah, like we said, this guy has some terrible luck! He's like, the ancient Greek version of Charlie Brown."

"I must agree," Brook said, "To reunite with his mother, only to have to kill her and to lose his brother, who he no doubt missed dearly. I can only imagine the pain and suffering this man must have gone through. It makes my heart clench to see he suffered so much for no reason other than just because."

Franky said, "Yeah, if it were me or the guys at Galley-La, I don't think I'd be able to go through something like what happened years ago."

Chopper nodded in understanding.

Sanji remembered the days of his youth, and how his being born without special powers made him a black sheep. He was hated just because he was born differently than his brothers.

Chopper's thoughts were like Sanji's as he remembered all the times that he cursed his blue nose.

Luffy asked, "Who is Charlie Brown?"

Boomstick continued, "With the last members of his family now dead, Kratos' hatred towards his fellow gods went through the roof and he began leading his Spartan warriors, who worshipped him now, in a conquest of the world…or what was known of the world at the time. It actually went well until he was in Rhodes."

Wiz said, "While there, Zeus, in the form of an eagle, brought a massive colossus to life, and weakened Kratos, forcing him to rely on a weapon sent to him: The Blade of Olympus."

They showed images of Kratos standing in Rhodes, being struck by an eagle which robbed him of his massive godhood size, and powers, which then fighting the Colossus. Then they showed him getting the Blade of Olympus and ending the fight.

Wiz continued, "However, as you can guess, it was a trick. Zeus had done this so Kratos would poor the last of his godly power into the blade, making him mortal again. Zeus then killed Kratos and sent him to the underworld…again."

Boomstick said, "Yeah, we probably should have mentioned this, but Kratos has gone to the underworld a lot. Seriously, if he had frequent flier miles, he would probably have enough for a free trip by now."

"So Kratos is now mortal again,"Zoro said, "That is going to make getting revenge a bit harder, especially against the gods. Of course, it wouldn't be fun if it was too easy."

Chopper asked, "What does Boomstick mean when he says Kratos has been to the underworld before?"

Isom answered, "You see, throughout his adventures, Kratos has gone to the underworld on multiple occasions, either because of his mission, or because he died. To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if they have a special spot for him when he finally does die."

Everyone shuddered at the thought of dying multiple times.

Brook said, "One trip to the afterlife was enough or me, thank you."

Wiz said, "With this betrayal, Kratos was contacted by Gaia the titan, and was given a chance to get revenge. To do so he went to the island of the fates, the three beings who commanded the fates of all humans. Kratos found them, murdered them, and took his won thread of fate…which somehow gave him the ability to time travel with the loom of fate."

"Oh, that old plot device," Boomstick muttered.

"He can travel through time?" Luffy said, "That is so cool!"

Everyone shuddered at the idea of Luffy traveling through time. Who knows what kind of madness that could be unleashed on the world.

Isom, however, thought back to the dimension he and his team had seen, where Luffy would travel back in time after having his crew killed, usually by his own actions. The man considered showing Luffy these dimensions, but decided against it. He had already caused enough ripples in this dimension, if the vice-admiral they fought earlier was anything to go by.

Wiz continued, "Without that, Kratos traveled back to the moment he was killed by Zeus, and fought the Olympian king, ready to kill him, but Athena leapt in the way, saving the Olympian his life, and gave out the oh so original plot twist, he's your father."

Boomstick said, "Yeah, turns out Kratos is a demigod, and the son of Zeus. Athena attempted to stop the long history of children killing their fathers, but got killed herself. However, Kratos denied his lightning throwing badass of a dad, and wound up using his time travel powers to bring the titans, the giant warriors who fought the gods centuries ago, and prepared for a final assault on Olympus."

They show a clip of the titans scaling Olympus, with Kratos standing on Gaia's head. He stood with his arms, cross, his skin ashen pale, and the tattoo blazing bright. A gold armlet with a ram's head on his arm, with the blades of exile on his back. His scarred eye and the stitched wound on his stomach, only adding ot the ferocity on his face.

"Father! I have returned! And I bring with me the destruction of Olympus!"

"So, he's really going to go through with it, isn't he?" Chopper asked.

Zoro said, "This is a man who has lost everything and has been betrayed by all those he thought he could trust, even just barely. I think it is safe to say, that he is going to go through with it.

Sanji took a drag on his cigarette and said, "Yeah, out of the frying pan and into the fire.

Abilities and Skills

Demigod Physiology

-enhanced stamina, strength, and durability

Spartan training

-pain tolerance

-weapons

Tactical mind.

Wiz said, "And he has the skill to do so. As a spartan, Kratos has been training to fight from a very young age. He was not only trained to fight, but to use multiple weapons. He has also shown to have a sense of tactics, despite being prone to rage, as seen when he was a general, but also in his fights, as he has shown to be able to control the battlefield, despite being surrounded by multiple opponents of various sizes."

Boomstick said, "But the main thing is his demigod body, which grants him insane strength, durability, stamina, and even some light regenerative powers…which makes sense with all the wounds this guy has gone over the years. While Kratos has some incredible strength he has some incredible weaponry to go alongside it."

Everyone was slightly terrified at the thought of fighting Kratos, especially Sanji, Chopper, and Brook, as they knew they couldn't stretch to avoid impact like Luffy could.

Weapons

Blades of Exile

-short swords

-hooked design

-chained to Kratos' arms

-emit fire

-third in the series of similar weapons

Claws of Hades

-originally used by Hades

-pulls souls from victims, but can be resisted

-summons souls

Nemean Cestus

-originally used by Hercules

-unleashes powerful shockwaves

-strong enough to shatter Skorpius' armor, destroy the Bronze Talos, and shatter Onyx

Nemesis Whip

-forged by Hephaestus

-emits electrical shocks

-faster than the Blades of Exile, but weaker

Blade of Olympus

-powered by godly energy

-can unleash powerful waves of energy

-has murdered 99% of the people it has stabbed

Wiz said, "Kratos has used many weapons over his adventures, but at the end they are usually destroyed or taken from him. For this battle, we will be using the weapons he had at the end of God of War 3, when Kratos was, arguably, at his most powerful."

Boomstick pressed a button a series of holograms appeared. The first one that appeared was a short sword, the iron blade having an orange design etched into it, and the blade seemed to be coming out the mouth of a horned demon.

The gun lover said, "Kratos has used several versions of this weapon, but the most recent ones are the Blades of Exile. These sweet as hell swords, not only look cool, but they emit fire! Like any good weapon should."

Zoro was staring in awe of the beauty of the weapon. He had to admit that it looked intimidating, and he doubted that it was for show. What confused him was the fact that they were chained to Kratos' arms. What was the point of that? Then again, he had seen some strange sword designs before, and those who used them, did so very effectively.

Wiz said, "While they may seem strange, Kratos is a master with these blades. Not only are they good for close range combat, but also for mid to long distance, as the chains stay attached to Kratos' arms and return to him when he throws them. And with their hooked design, he can grab his opponents in close."

Boomstick interrupted, "Normally for a sweet ass instant kill!"

They show a clip of gameplay, where Kratos launches his blades at an opponent, hooking them, pulling them close, and then ripping them apart.

The straw hats winced at the brutality shown, however, Zoro was almost drooling. The blades seemed like something that could be used with incredible effectiveness.

Isom said, "Hey, swordsman, you're drooling."

Zoro quickly wiped the drool from his mouth, doing his best not too look embarrassed.

Wiz said, "More than that, Kratos can use the blades as spinning helicopter blades to keep himself aloft during a fight. With these weapons Kratos can control the battlefield, switching between opponents, and ending them in a bloody method…and this is only his basic weapon."

Boomstick pressed a button bringing up a hologram of a pair of spiked chains with Claws on the end that glowed bright purple.

Boomstick said, "But he's also got some other tools to kill people. Like the Claws of Hades, which he got after beating the crap out of Hades. These wicked Claws can tear the souls out of their victims, and can even summon the souls of their various victims to aid Kratos in combat. He could even use them to dodge attacks faster by using them to pull himself forward."

Wiz pressed a button bringing up a hologram of a pair of gauntlets, consisting of two spiked parts, where the arm went it, and the heads forged in the image of snarling lion heads.

Wiz said, "He also wields the Nemean Cestus, originally used by Hercules. These two massive gauntlets were carved from the body of the Nemean Lion. They greatly increase Kratos' already insane strength enough to shatter onyx shields and walls, and send enemies flying."

"Holy shit!" Sanji yelled, "That guy is even bigger than Oars! And he chained him to a ceiling."

Franky said, "Now, I really want to get my hands on those things. Can you imagine how much more super my punches would get?"

Boomstick then pressed another button, and a hologram of a long whip that had three segmented knife-like blades at the end that sparked with electricity.

The gun-lover said, "He also has the Nemesis whip, which conducts electricity for shocking attacks. While they work like the Blades of Exile, it is unfortunately weaker. However, this sweet thing makes up for it by not only being faster, but also attacking more than one target at once."

Wiz smiled and said, "However, Kratos' most powerful weapon is by far, the Blade of Olympus!"

Wiz pressed a button and the image of the sword appeared. It was a large sword that was gold and white, and glowed with wisps of bright blue energy, both in and around it.

Boomstick said, "When you say this thing is a god slayer they mean it. Imbued with Kratos' own power, this sword can unleash enough power to kill the Olympian gods, titans, monsters, and apparently has the power to destroy entire armies with a single swing!"

Wiz continued for his cohost, "In close combat the sword is somewhat heavy, but it unleashes a lot of damage, launches energy blasts, and even forms a field around Kratos for extra protection."

Everyone, save for Isom, stared in shock at the powerful weapons.

Brook seemed very unnerved at the Claws of Hades, the skeleton not liking the idea of having his soul removed, and then under the control of someone else. The thought of someone having this power scared him.

As he thought this, in the New World, a certain sweet-loving pirate sneezed.

Franky eyed the Nemean Cestsus with interest. Given his main style of close combat was boxing, the idea of using the Nemean Cestus intrigued him. He doubted he would be able to withstand a blow from that.

Sanji was thinking about the use the Nemesis Whip, as it reminded him of the weapon used by Nami. He wondered if he could convince Usopp to make something like that for Nami. He would ask when he got the chance.

Zoro was in awe at the sight of the Blade of Olympus. He wondered what would happen if that sword ever crossed paths with Mihawk's black sword. It seemed like if that happened entire islands would be reduced to rubble in the wake of such a battle…provided that Mihawk survived because he doubted the man would.

Wiz said, "Aside from weapons, Kratos also has some various pieces of gear to help him in his journey."

Equipment

Items

-Blade of Apollo – fires normal or fiery arrows

-Head of Helios – bright light blinds enemies and reveals secrets

-Boots of Hermes – increase speed to attack at high speed and run up walls

Relics

-Golden Fleece – main defense, can reflect magical and ranged attacks

-Icarus Wings – grants flight, but decays during flight

-Poseidon's Trident – enable to breath underwater

-Boreas' Icestorm – unleashes blast of cold wind

Wiz continued, "These include the Boots of Hermes, which Kratos literally ripped from the god's legs, along with his legs, which allows Kratos to run fast enough to increase his striking power, and run on walls."

Boomstick said, "He's also got the blade of Apollo, a magic bow that can fire normal or firing arrows like a freaking machinegun without a quiver. From what Wizard has told me, Kratos can fire ten arrows in two seconds with this puppy. In comparison to Lars Anderson, who can fire ten arrows in 4.9 seconds, making Kratos twice as fast as the record holder."

Wiz said, "I'm surprised that you know this Boomstick."

The gun lover chuckled and said, "Wiz…it is about a weapon. Of course, I'm going to know who is the best."

Everyone nodded. It was times like thais that everyone was reminded that, while Boomstick was a bit of an idiot, and could be perverted, he was a touch smarter than people gave him credit for.

Boomstick continued, "He also has Helios' head…no literally, he tore the sun god's head clean off and uses it as a giant flashlight, a flash bomb to stun his foes, or to reveal secrets."

Robin said, "That…is a little messed up."

Everyone turned towards Robin with shocked expressions. They all knew that Robin had a dark sense of humor, and a generally dark outlook, so for her to say that something was messed up, it says a lot."

Boomstick then gained a thoughtful look as he said, "Now that I think about it, I think Kratos might have a head fetish."

The straw hats who knew what that was looked surprised at the random moment. Luffy and Chopper looked confused.

Wiz gave Boomstick an "are you serious" look and said, "What?"

The gun loving man said, "Well, I mean he used Medusa's head, Euryale's head, and now Helios'. Seriously, the guy must have something to do with keeping them all."

Wiz just facepalmed and then rubbed his temples to stave off the oncoming headache.

Chopper asked, "Robin what's a fetish?"

Robin quickly answered, "You'll find out when your older."

She the sent a brief glare to the rest of the crew to keep them from saying anything.

They were also reminded that Boomstick was still an idiot.

Boomstick said, "Anyway, Kratos also has the Golden Fleece, a mystical armlet that can block any attack, and even reflect energy projectiles. He also has the wings of Icarus, which he tore from the old man's back, for temporary flight, Poseidon's trident to breath underwater, and Boreas' Icestorm which unleashes massive burst of ice cold wind."

Wiz said, "It should be noted that a lot of these pieces of equipment, aren't exactly suited for combat, but more for performing puzzles to make his way through Olympus, which also proves Kratos actually has a brain under all that rage."

Boomstick then added, "And if you think that's crazy…he also has some impressive magic."

"Oh great," Franky said, "more magic. Seriously, does everyone have magic?"

Chopper said, "It does seem to be a recurring theme."

Brook said, "Well, here we have a lot of devil fruit users as a recurring theme."

Magic Attacks

Army of Sparta – summons Spartan Soldiers to protect himself

Soul Summon – summons spirits of beaten enemies to fight alongside him

Nemean Roar – slams the ground causing shockwaves

Nemesis Rage – shocks surrounding enemies

Divine Reckoning – summons a vortex of power

Wiz Said, "Kratos has had magical abilities, and they have changed depending on the adventure. In this case, they are limited to the kind of weapon he wields. With the Blades of Exile, he can use the Army of Sparta attack to form a defensive dome to shield himself and counter enemies. He can use the Claws of Hades to summon the souls of the various creatures he's defeated. He can use the Nemean Cestus to use the Nemean Roar to unleash powerful shockwaves, and can electrocute all surrounding enemies with the Nemesis Whip's Nemesis Rage attack."

Boomstikc said, "But don't' forget, he has the Divine Reckoning, where he summons a massive vortex of energy using the blade of Olympus! Good for killing everything in your way."

Boomstick said, "But like all things awesome, Kratos has a limit. He can only use so much magic before he needs to recharge, so ne mainly sticks to beating people up with his bare hands."

"And as usual there is a limit," Franky said, "I think we might have just found a constant with these…magic having limits."

Isom said, "In their defense, without limitless magic, Kratos is overpowered enough as it is."

Wiz said, "With these powers and weapons, tis now wonder Kratos is as feared as he is.

Feats

Killed the entire Greek pantheon and its heros

Out-muscled Atlas, Hercules, and Chronos

Caught and threw back the Colossus of Rhodes

Resisted having his soul ripped out of Hades

Regularly tanks inhuman injuries

Tags a catapult projectile

Wiz continued, "With all this, Kratos has done some ridiculous things. He's murdered practically every monster and opponent that got in his way, and has proven to be nearly unstoppable. This one-man army has left a trail of carnage so long that, you would need an encyclopedia to keep track of his ledger of death."

Boomstick said, "No wonder. He's tagged catapult projectiles, withstood shockwaves the Nemean cestus when it was wielded by Hercules, tanked a volcanic explosion, threw back the Colossus of Rhodes, and tanked a slap from the titan Chronos!"

Boomstick then turned to his cohost and said, "Wiz math this for us please!"

Wiz nodded as he brought down the Board of Wizdom and began typing away at a keyboard as the camera zoomed in on it.

Wiz explained, "From what we've seen, the colossus is at least a hundred feet tall, and made of bronze. If we compare this statue to the real-life statue of liberty, with the stone base removed, we can guess its weight."

Wizard typed away as an image of the colossus appeared on the screen, and lady liberty stood up in all her glory.

"Wow, that is one super statue!" Franky said.

Brook said, "Yes, a beautiful piece of art. And so large! Do you have such a thing in your world?"

Isom said, "It was destroyed a few years ago, but they were attempting to rebuild it when I was still there."

Wiz continued, "Adding the height to nearly a hundred and fifty-two feet tall, and replace lady liberty's copper with bronze, and the framework with elm wood instead of steel, we can estimate that the colossus is weighs twenty-nine tons."

"Dang…this guy could have thrown Oars around like a toy," Franky said.

Brook said, "I almost wish that he was there when it happened."

Wiz said, "Another such feat is how he stopped a slap from the titan Chronos. While we can't judge the amount of strength he has, based on comparing him to an average Greek man, Chronos is nearly two hundred and fifty-nine times stronger than a normal human. I would do better, but the numbers for crushing a fly are kind of hard to figure out."

Boomstick interrupted, "With power like that, it's now wonder he managed to kill off all the gods on Olympus. He did spare Aphrodite for…obvious reasons."

Boomstick chuckled as they showed a clip from God of War 3, containing the Aphrodite scene.

Sanji and Brook were launched backwards by epic nosebleeds. The guys all blushed in embarrassment, and felt their noses drip a bit of blood. Chopper managed to shrug his off sooner than the others to go help Sanji and Brook.

The doctor's office, Nami twitched slightly and, in her sleep, muttered, "Must…punch…perverts."

Boomstick added, "But despite being so awesome is it is scary, Kratos has a few flaws. He is still mortal, so while he can take a hell of a lot of hits, he can still be killed. He can be brought down with exhaustion, and has been duped a few times. In spite of this, he managed to kill the entire pantheon of gods!"

Wiz continued, "However, killing the gods had consequences. Without the gods, the seas raged out the control, the sky turned black, lost souls were unleashed on the world, disease and plagues were unleashed, plants all around the world died, and pure chaos was unleashed. The apocalypse had come, and Kratos was his vanguard."

Everyone stared in horror at the sight of the destruction that Kratos' vengeance had wrought, and the sheer death and desolation that seemed to cover the world. In the case of the dig two graves phrase, it was more like a million graves.

Boomstick said, "However, it was then that Athena revealed something. When Kratos opened Pandora's box to fight Ares, he released a huge amount of fear, and caused Zeus to go crazy. All that was left, was the power of hope, which Kratos now held in his body. Athena intended to take the power for herself to rule the world as the main goddess."

"What the hell!?" Sanji yelled, "Are you saying it was an evil plan by Athena the whole time? Everything?"

Isom said, "Athena is called the goddess of wisdom. Given that she is a superb strategist, it is possible she might have planned this, but I'm not sure."

Everyone looked scared at the thought of someone with such a mind to manipulate everyone around them like puppets. The thought alone, made them all shuddered.

Wiz said, "But Kratos being Kratos chose the second door. He took the Blade of Olympus, and stabbed himself with it, releasing the hope in the world, so that humanity could rebuild. Though, to be honest, I'm sure he also did this, because with his vengeance complete, he finally saw the outcome, and could not withstand the sorrow."

Chopper said, "He killed himself."

Zoro, being the samurai, understood the reason behind seppuku, and how it would be used by men to regain some small sense of honor to atone for past mistakes. Kratos had done so with the intention of undoing some of the damage that had been done to the world. He wondered if it was worth it.

Similar thoughts were going through the minds of the rest of the straw hats.

Wiz continued, "Well, he succeeded in half of that anyway."

Boomstick turned to his cohost, and said, "Wiz, you're kidding right. He stabbed himself with the Blade of Olympus. I really don't think that-"

Wiz cut Boomstick off by showing an image of an older Kratos, older than the one that we know, with a full beard and with an ax in his hand.

Boomstick was quiet and said, "Holy shit he survived!?"

"He survived!?" everyone yelled out in shock, shaking the entire ship.

Wiz said, "Kratos did in fact survive, and apparently the world has repaired itself quite nicely since the death of the Greek gods, though how we do not know. Since then, Kratos has not only has a son, but he seems to have gotten some serious anger management."

Wiz shows a clip of Kratos, getting shot in the shoulder by his son, and, while getting angry, stops himself from lashing out.

Wiz continued, "It seems Kratos has been given a fresh start, but if there is one thing we know the past will catch up to him eventually. In that time, can Kratos fully control his rage? Can Kratos achieve redemption, even after leaving such a huge trail of bodies in his wake? Only time will tell."

The doors closed and ten reopened.

Everyone looked at each other and began to think. Kratos suffering, rage, and pain had brought such destruction, but the god's arrogance and power had caused it. Kratos' action, however, were selfish and caused so much pain and suffering, and so many lives had been lost. It made them wonder just what else would happen in Kratos' life, if he continued on his path, finding a new home in a new world.

In the meantime, Luffy was in thought. He had always acted selfishly, doing what was best for him, or in his own interest. If he continued to do that, what would happen to his crew? Would they suffer like those close to Kratos.

Nobody saw this, but Isom, who had a feeling that this may be a change for Luffy for the better. Or Luffy would forget about it and move on…probably the latter.

Boomstick started, "In his life, Al Simmons had only one thing to believe in…his moral code."

Wizard said, "Al lived a nice life, working as a CIA assassin. Killing people in the name of justice."

They showed an African American man with a well-muscled body, wearing white, and camo pants, with a belt of ammunition around his shoulder and hip, a bandana and holding a gun.

Franky asked, "Oh god, I swear if this guy winds up like Rob Lucci, someone is getting punched in the face."

The others nodded. That did sound a lot like the leader of CP9's view of dark justice.

Boomstick said, "However, things changed when saved the freaking President. After that, he was promoted to a black ops division that performed dangerous missions. All under the command of Jason Wynn, one of the most influential men on the planet, which sounds good in the first glance."

Wiz said, "But as time went on, Al began to question the morality of what they were doing. When he asked too many questions…he had al terminated…in a very brutal way."

They showed a clip of a large explosion, and the same man, who was covered in some fluid, was caught up in the blast, the flames eating at his body.

It then showed his falling down a fiery chasm screaming, "WANDA!"

"Oh dear," Brook said, "To be burned like that. Form what I have heard, it is an extraordinarily painful way to die."

Luffy said, "I think we've survived worse."

Zoro said, "Not all of us can bounce back, or tank everything sent at us."

Wiz continued, "With his death, Al found himself in hell, because during his missions he had killed some innocent people. It was here that he met the monstrous being known as Malebolgia."

They showed Malebolgia standing above a monstrous group of being, laughing manically.

Everyone screamed in horror at the sight of the horrifying beast!

"Kill it! Kill it with fire!" Chopper yelled.

Zoro said, "I don't think that fire is going to work. We could try cutting it."

Sanji said, "Try that in two years moss head, and you might be in trouble."

"Scary!" Brook screamed out.

Wiz said, "Now in hell, Malebogia gave Al a deal. If he would lead his army as its general, he would send him back to earth. Unfortunately, it didn't go so well."

They showed Al waking up in an ally during a rainstorm gasping, his skin burned horribly.

"Whoa…what happened to him!?" Sanji asked.

Chopper gulped and said, "It looks like burn scars. Most likely from the explosion he was in."

Robin said, "He did say that he would send Al back to earth. He didn't say that he would be in fine shape."

Boomstick said, "But surprise, surprise, the deal didn't go so well. Al was burnt horribly all over his body, and, as a bonus, his memories completely wiped."

Wiz said, "Lost, confused, and driven by flashes of memory, Al sought out Wanda. However, he learned too later that he had been dead for five years. In that time, Wanda remarried to Al's best friend, and had a young daughter."

They show a clip of Al digging through his own grave, finding the stuff, realizing the truth and screaming "no" to the heavens.

Brook said, "I had a similar reaction when I found out that I had come back as a skeleton. Though, to be honest, I think my scream might have been a bit more high-pitched."

Boomstick said, "Al Simmons was officially dead, replaced by the hero from hell…Spawn!"

Boomstick pressed a button and a hologram of Spawn popped up, showing him in all his glory. He was tall and powerful looking, covered in a black suit, with red gloves with metal spikes on the knuckles, a white M on his chest, a white portion over his eyes on his mask, and eyes glowing green. Two skull buckles connected a red tattered cape to his shoulders, and a high red collar.

Spawn

Formerly: Colonel Albert Francis Simmons

Height: 6'11''

Weight: 400 lbs.

Has died quite a few times

Wiz said, "Without his memories, and realizing that he had nowhere to go, Spawn quickly began to move through the city's shadows, eventually coming to rat alley, a portion of his city that will filled with homeless people."

Robin felt some form of kindship with Spawn. When she was a child, after being framed for the destruction of her home, she felt as though she was an outcast, having no knowledge of where to go, or where to find a haven. The only difference was the loss of memory.

Boomstick said, "In other words, Spawn found a home amongst the outcasts of the city. Unfortunately, his peace didn't last long as he got involved with some crime bosses, fought a lot of bad guys, and eventually managed to get the attention of heaven."

Wiz said, "Heaven wanted to kill him, hell wanted to control him, and earth…was unfortunately caught up in the middle."

Boomstick said, "Thankfully, he's got all kinds of crazy abilities and powers thanks to his little trip through hellfire."

Human abilities before death

-Interrogation

-Intimidation

-Indomitable Will

-Gifted Intellect

-Assassin/Ninja Training

-CIA training

-Stealth

-Tactical Analysis

Wiz explained, "Before his death, Al was a very skilled CIA operative. Trained in interrogation, intimidations, training for CIA operatives, stealth skills, and others he quickly became an expert assassin, as you all know."

Boomstick said, "He's also a master with all kinds of fire arms, and all of this is enhanced thanks to his new body."

"I wonder how the would have compared to CP9?" Franky asked, rubbing his chin.

Zoro answered, "I don't think that he would last very long if he was human. No offense to the guy, but he was just a normal human before he died."

This was met by nods of agreement from everyone. The guy was impressive as a human, but he had nothing on the group of assassins.

Hellspawn abilities

Superhuman Strength, speed, durability, agility, endurance

Necroplasm composition

Magic

-Limited to time

-powered by his imagination

Wiz said, "Now as a monster of hell, Spawn's new body is composed of necroplasm, a hellish matter. This substance is incredibly durable, allowing him great strength. Plus, you should remember that he is in fact a burned walking corpse."

Boomstick said, "Hell yeah! This guy doesn't even need organs to live. On top of that, he can heal wounds like Wolverine, only glowing and green. He can heal anything from minor wounds to nearly lost limbs. Though he really needs to focus on healing when he gets hurt for severe wounds. Saves him tons on band-aids."

"Wolverine?" Chopper asked, "Who is that?"

Isom answered, "One of the most badass characters in fiction. He's known for a few things, but one of them is his ability to heal from pretty much any wound as fast as he's been torn apart."

Sanji said, "Sounds like logia healing. Are there a lot of characters that can do that?"

Isom said, "Well a lot of people in these words can heal faster than normal, however each of them can heal to a different degree. For example, wounds that would take days to heal for Wolver or Al here, would take seconds or minutes. For others, it would take a few hours. It all depends on the person."

Wiz said, "Aside from his abilities, Spawn has some special weapons at his disposal."

Boomstick laughed and said, "Oh yeah, this is where it gets goods. You see Spawn's suit? Well, it turns out it is a demon. A parasite named Leetha."

They show an image of Leetha, rising off the ground.

Weapons and equipment

K7-Leetha - also known as Leetha of the 7th House of K

-source for a majority of Spawns powers

-can be separated from Spawn

-limited by imagination

Sword of the Spirt

-gift from god

Guns of all kinds

"His suit is alive?" Zoro asked.

Sanji said, "Don't you think that counts as outside help?"

Chopper and Brook muttered, "Creepy."

Luffy said, "Cool."

Boomstick continued, "This awesome suit links directly to Spawn's brain, and allows him all kinds of powers including, but not limited to…uh hold on."

Boomstick reached off camera and pulled out a list.

Boomstick cleared his throat and read, "Summoning creatures, flying, shape shifting, camouflage, magic, necroplasm bombs, phasing through solid objects, psychic powers, sped up healing even faster, energy transformation, soul manipulation, time manipulation, and transmutation."

Wiz said, "To put things simply, Leetha can be fed by Spawn's mind due to the link to his nervous system. Simply put, anything he imagines happens. He can sprout blades from his arms, shoot chains with blades at the end for several feet, and can even transform his cape into metal weapons, or objects for defense."

Boomstick was quiet for a moment and said, "Holy…shit…Wiz where can I get one of these?"

Brook said, "I must say that thing sounds incredibly powerful."

Zoro said, "I don't think this is all for free."

Sanji said, "I'm with moss head. This thing is a demon, so I highly doubt it is doing this out of the goodness of its heart."

The others nodded.

Wiz said, "Unless you are willing to die, Boomstick, I don't think this is going to happen because you need to die…and you have this bizarre dream of outliving me."

Boomstick nodded and said, "Damn right I do."

Wiz continued, "Aside from Spawn, Leetha can move on her own. And is fast enough to block bullets, meaning she can react as fast as the speed of sound, and has even evolved in more dangerous forms, but like many awesome things it comes at a cost."

Boomstick said, "Yeah…you know how she connects to Spawn's brain? Well she feeds on Spawn's spinal fluids, and his necroplasm, which he kind of needs to live."

Wiz continued, "Not only that, but she has moved against Spawn on multiple occasions, outright betraying and leaving him at one point, removing a good chunk of his powers. However, there is another reason for doing this. You see, Spawn has a set amount of necroplasm in his body, which acts as a timer. Once that runs out, Spawn will be sent back to hell."

Zoro said, "Called it."

Brooks aid, "Wow…that is horrible. To know that your own power is killing you."

Robin said, "It is something different. It sounds like this Leetha is more of a necessary evil. I wouldn't trust her as far as I would throw her."

Luffy mumbled, "Stupid life draining suit."

Boomstick said, "Yeah…but there is a bit of a workaround. Spawn can feed on the sin of other people, places, and certain evil animals, carrion birds, like vultures, infesting insects, black cats. By using this energy in place of his necroplasm, Spawn greatly slows down the old death clock."

Wiz said, "However, Spawn is aware of this, and mainly sticks to only using his natural powers, as opposed to the ones given to him by Leetha. If that isn't enough Spawn has a few other powers not linked to hell."

Unique powers

Chlorokinesis

Elemental manipulation

Wiz explained, "After vising the greenworld, a world comprised of nature, Spawn gained chlorokinesis, the ability to manipulate plants. This is incredibly powerful as it allows him to summon entire forests at his will. He can also manipulate the elements, usually summoning walls of fire or water to destroy his enemies."

Boomstick said, "And if that's not enough, he's also got the Sword of the Spirt, a powerful weapon given to him by god made to vanquish demons."

Sanji took a drag on his cigarette and said, "I'm not liking Kratos' chances. This guy seems like he's unstoppable."

Robin said, "From what I understand, Kratos has fought people larger and stronger than him before."

Has fought and beaten demons, angels, and other hellspawn

Blocks bullets and lasers, with Leetha's help

Throws a building

Scaled a building in the time it took to say a single sentence

Dodged bullets

Incinerated Violator

Dethroned God and Satan

Wiz said, "All of these abilities were put to the test across Spawn's adventures. He took on several other hellspawn. He terrorized the human mafia, and after getting even more powerful managed to dethrone God and Satan, banishing them to another dimension."

Boomstick said, "Yeah, but he gave up ultimate power when he became all powerful. Damn, he must have been bored if he did that."

Wiz said, "Actually, it was because he learned the truth. You see, Spawn believed that, when he was Al Simmons, he and Wanda were happily married, and their only problem was that they couldn't have children. The truth is Al was an abusive husband, and once beat Wanda so bad that she had a miscarriage."

"WHAT!?"

The shouts came from the crew, looks of horror on their faces, especially Sanji, who had a look of shock mixed with rage.

Sanji then proceeded to rage about how he should kick Spawn, cut him into pieces, let him regenerate, and then do it all again."

Wiz continued, "Realizing that he had been a monster in life, Spawn took his original form as penance. Wishing Wanda luck in her knew life, acting as a guardian angel."

Boomstick said, "Well, with a guardian like that, I wouldn't want to mess with them…unless of course you know how to deal with him."

"So, this guy does have few weaknesses," Zoro said.

Luffy asked, "But he can heal himself with all his mystery powers…what can hurt him."

Weaknesses

Decapitation

Divine weapons

Wiccan Magic

Greenworld

Heaven vulnerability

Boomstick continued, "As a being of hell, of course, heavenly areas, or safe zones, can weaken Spawn. He can also be affected by Wiccan magic. Also, areas like the greenworld, a world separated from heaven and hell, can leave Spawn without his powers."

Wiz said, "And if none of that is around, Spawn can be killed with a normal weapon if he is decapitated."

Boomstick said, "Yeah, he may not be unstoppable, but you can be damn sure that he is powerful. Heaven and Hell are right to fear the Spawn!"

The doors close.

It was at this point that everyone began to debate about what is going to happen next.

Kratos was incredibly powerful. He had tactics and multiple weapons that could be useful. Plus, he can use a lot of things that could do a lot of damage.

Spawn's limitation to his imagination made him incredibly unpredictable and was incredibly powerful, almost unstoppable.

Sanji was calling for Spawn's head knowing that he abused his wife in the past.

Once again, they were at an impasse. They were good guys, but they were driven by revenge and didn't care who got in the way. Many of the crew could sympathize with them as they knew about wanting vengeance and becoming consumed by it.

Wiz said, "Our combatants are set, it's time to end the debate."

Boomstick declared, "It's time for a god slayer death battle!"

The doors closed and reopened.

We open in Olympus, the sound of an intense brawl immediately drawing attention. There was the sound of a fist striking flesh repeatedly until, finally, someone was thrown down one of the many halls.

Zeus was thrown from doorway into the main hall, just a few feet from the flame of Olympus. His body was covered in bruises and cuts. His body was bloody from a brutal beating, and it seems that he was not logn for this world.

"Is that Zeus?" Chopper asked.

Zoro nodded and said, "And if he, is here, then that means Kratos is here too."

Sure enough, Kratos storms out of the door that Kratos had thrown him through. The Spartan's face a grim scowl of anger and hatred.

"I told you before, father," Kratos said, spitting out the name father as if it were toxic, "I would bring about the end of Olympus."

Zeus struggled to stand and said, "If you kill me, the world itself will fall into chaos. Do you think that you can survive such madness?"

Kratos grabbed the king of the gods by his throat and said, "I have survived much over the years. A little chaos means nothing to me."

Kratos dragged Zeus towards the flame of Olympus.

"The flame of Olympus," he said, "All who touch this flame shall be burned by it's power. Let us see if the king of Olympus can survive."

Kratos hauled the fallen god up, but before he could throw him, there was a bright flash of light from behind him. Kratos was briefly blinded, but it quickly faded. Kratos stared in a mix of surprise and confusion, at the sight of a dark green portal that had formed.

"Is this another trick of yours Zeus?" the mad Spartan asked.

From the portal, entered Spawn. The hero from hell walked forward, an aura of power and evil that made many a man before him fall to their knees. However, Kratos was no such man. He had faced such monsters before he had not wavered. He would not waver here.

"Who are you?" Kratos asked.

Spawn didn't answer immediately, taking in the sight before him and said, "My name isn't any of your concern, cue ball."

While Kratos had no idea what the word cue ball meant, he had a distinct feeling that the word was meant as an insult.

The man dropped Zeus, who quickly began to crawl away.

"Watch who you insult," Kratos growled, "Lest you bring the wrath of the ghost of Sparta down upon you."

Spawn raised an eyebrow and said, "So you're the god slayer. I have to say…I'm not impressed."

"Oh, burn," Franky said.

"I'm sure he's been called worse," Brook said, sipping on his tea.

Kratos growled and said, "What are you supposed to be then? Some bizarre creature created by Hades? If you do not leave now you will suffer the same fate as all who stand in my way!"

Spawn didn't seem intimidated as his spiraling red cape formed into the Agony Axe.

The former human said, "You see, a powerful friend of mine told me that you intended to bring about Armageddon, and she is not happy about it."

"She? Is god a woman?!" Sanji yelled out.

Isom said, "Cool your jets. Most likely, he means the mother of creation, the being who brought life into the world in the Spawn universe…who is genderless I feel I should mention."

Sanji immediately fell to his knees, somehow not injuring his leg, and started crying at the thought of the lost beauty.

Kratos snarled, "So another being stands between me and my vengeance. Fine then."

Kratos drew the Blades of Exile from his back, and they immediately ignited with flames.

"The hands of death could not defeat me. The Sisters of Fate could not hold me. And you…will not STOP ME!"

With that, Kratos roared charging forward with his blades in hand.

Spawn shot forward and they clashed in the middle, their weapons causing sparks to rain down to the floor as they clashed.

FIGHT!

The two grappled before Spawn broke the stalemate, pushing Kratos back. Spawn swung at Kratos' neck, intending to decapitate him. The spartan dodged to the right to avoid the swing, and got in Spawn's guard, stabbing him in the stomach with the hooked blade, causing necroplasm-laced blood to splash his arm and the ground.

Spawn winced in pain, but swung his axe down, but Kratos blocked at the last second with the golden fleece, the force of the hit, causing the man turned demon to recoil slightly. Kratos then spartan kicked spawn, knocking him backward. Kratos then launched his magical blades, each weapon connecting with Spawn's body.

Kratos yanked Spawn close, knocked him into the air with a brutal uppercut, and unleashed a brutal air combination that left more bleeding wounds, one particularly brutal slash left Spawn without an arm.

Spawn slammed into the ground with a loud crash, and didn't move.

Kratos snarled as he turned and began to walk away.

However, Kratos' years of fighting had honed his sense. He stopped when he heard the slightly of movement. He turned and saw Spawn rising from the ground. He showed no pain from his injuries, as he walked towards his severed arm, picking it up, and then attaching it to his body, with a sickening noise.

Several of the straw hats, especially Chopper, winced at the sickening noise of Spawn reattaching his own limb.

Spawn rolled his arm, getting the feeling back in it and said, "Okay…let's try that again."

Spawn charged forward. Kratos, in response, brought out the Bow of Apollo. The barrage of fast arrows was swiftly blocked when Leetha's chains shot out and deflected them, breaking the arrows in the process.

Kratos then charged a fiery arrow, but when it got close, the flames dispersed by Spawn's fire control. Spawn tackled the Spartan sending them into a small hallway. The two continued to grapple with Spawn tearing the bow away from Kratos, and then snapping it in two, throwing away the broken pieces.

Kratos snarled again and performed a kick that knocked Spawn away. The Spartan then got up, replacing his blades with the Claws of Hades.

Brook shuddered slightly at the sight of the soul stealing weapon.

The glowing Claws were launched with a style like the blades, but Spawn blocked them, by transforming his cape into a wall of metal. He then transmuted a gun in his hand, firing a barrage of bullets on the Spartan.

Kratos was caught off guard by the sudden appearance of the strange weapon, and wound up taking a few bullets. Kratos ran through the pain and charged forward, launching the Claws. Spawn turned to avoid the Claws, which dug into the ground behind him.

Kratos had intend this, however, and used the Claws to pull himself forward. Once close enough, Kratos pulled something from his belt, the head of Helios.

Everyone jumped slightly at the appearance of the ripped head. Several people felt the urge to barf as they realized that he had been carrying that around with him the entire time.

A blinding flash hit Spawn, knocking him to the ground. Kratos then stomped on the gun, noting the metal composition, and the bullets.

"Bah…such small projectiles and at such a rate," he growled, "Truly a coward's weapon."

Kratos then re-equipped the claws and shot them out, grabbing Spawn's soul. The man then pulled hard and ripped it out of his body.

Several of the straw hats were shocked when they saw this. Many of them had flashbacks to the moment when Moriah had stolen their shadows to power his zombies. They had a distinct feeling that this probably felt like something similar.

Kratos prepared to absorb the soul, but he was shocked again as Spawn, who should have been dead, reached out with his hand and the soul reentered his body. Before Kratos could react, Spawn shot forward and slammed him with a brutal haymaker to the jaw.

In that moment, Spawn's cape wrapped round Kratos' arms and then ripped the claws off. Spawn then unleashed a breath of hellfire from his mouth, incinerating them.

Kratos got up quickly and engaged Spawn in a fist fight.

Kratos aiming for Spawn's chest, throat, and face.

Spawn aimed at these areas on Kratos, though he had a few other places to aim: the bullet wounds from earlier.

Kratos growled in pain, before he pulled out Helios' head again. Spawn was ready this time, thought, and caught it in his own hand, and crushed it in a splash of gore.

Everyone winced at the sight of the destruction. This was proving to be the most blood-filled battle so far.

Kratos wasn't deterred as he brought one of the blades of exile to bear and stabbed Spawn in the shoulder. The two grappled again, Spawn pushing forward until they met a banister, that sat before a large hole that went down, for what seemed like miles.

"You give up yet?" Spawn asked.

Kratos spat in the creature's face.

The banister couldn't handle the full weight of the two fighters, and was broken when Spawn pushed forward too hard, sending them falling downward.

Kratos then drew his free arm back, dropping the remains of Helios' head, and equipped one of the Nemean Cestus heads. He unleashed a brutal punch that sent Spawn flying backwards and slamming into the ceiling, forming cracks and splattering come necroplasm-blood.

Kratos then flipped in mid-air, bringing out Icarus' wings and shot upwards, with both of the Nemean Cestus heads prepared. The two weapons slammed into Spawn with a loud crunch indicating the broken bones, and crushed organ.

Kratos then fell backwards and flew downwards, wanting a moment to get time to strategize.

Spawn pushed out the wall, gripping it with his hands. His body filing out where it had been crushed with sickening noises.

"Man…this kind of regeneration sounds really gross," Chopper said, earning nods from other people.

With a growl, Kratos' cape wrapped around him, turning him invisible.

Back down the shaft, Kratos looked for his opponent. There was a moment of silence, and temporarily believed that that final blow had killed him. However, Kratos found he was misinformed when he was tackled by an invisible foe. He was slammed into the wall, Spawn turning visible, and then had his skull dragged across the wall.

Kratos turned and growled at his target.

Kratos threw out another punch with the Nemean Cestus, only for Spawn to move to the side at the last moment, and grab it by the side, and rip it off, throwing the weapon away.

Kratos snarled and spun in mid-air smashing the other Nemean Cesutus into the man's chest. Spawn flew across the chasm, hitting the opposite wall and becoming buried in it. Kratos then flew back up with the wings, only having a flew feathers left.

Kratos shot out the blades of exile, intent on impaling Spawn, Leetha intervened her chains deflecting the blades, and then wrapping around them. Kratos then found himself being swung around the chasm, slammed repeatedly into the opposite side.

"Why doesn't she count as outside help again?" Franky asked.

Brook answered, "Because every time she does, it slowly kills Spawn.

Franky answered, "Oh, yeah."

Kratos was then yanked forward. Spawn caught the Spartan by the throat, and then shot across the chasm, flying fast, and choke slamming Kratos into the opposite side. Spawn leapt back, Leetha's chains anchoring on either side of Kratos.

Spawn's cape then flared to life, forming a large metal spike that wrapped around his legs. Spawn shat forward, but Kratos brought out the golden fleece, deflecting the attack, but leaving a large crack in it.

Kratos then brought out the blades of exile and launched it across the chasm, grappling a wooden beam and yanked himself free, just missing being impaled when Spawn repeated the attack, and became buried in the wall.

Kratos then unleashed the Nemesis whips, wrapped them around Spawn and electrocuting. Spawn screamed in pain as the divine electricity coursed through is body. Kratos smirked form his position, believing he had finally had won.

However, Spawn still had plenty of tricks up his sleeves as he reached out with his chlorokinetic powers and then unleashed a wave of roots and plants that knocked Kratos forward, breaking his concentration.

As the whip unwrapped, Kratos fell forward, but didn't fall far. He equipped Hermes' boots and drove the blades of exile into the wall, stopping him, then he shot around, running as fast as the boots enable him to move.

Kratos approached at a fast pace, only for Spawn to become intangible at the last second, the spartan looking shocked at this development.

Kratos was then grabbed in a headlock and then driven down. As they fell, Spawn's cape shot out and grew small blades, as they wrapped around Kratos's legs, leaving nasty gashes on his legs, and destroying the boots in the process.

Kratos struggled to break his grip, but Spawn was resolute in his grip. Kratos then pulled out Boreas' Icestorm, and unleashed a blast of frigid wind that knocked the duo away from each other, but they both slammed into opposite sides of the chasm, the tool falling from Kratos' grip.

With the wings gone, Kratos had no method to fly.

Kratos then shot out with the blades of exile, stabbing Spawn.

"Okay, that trick is getting really old," Spawn snarled as, Kratos pulled him back up to him.

Kratos wrapped his injured legs around Spawn's midsection, ignoring the pain, and equipped the remaining Nemean Cestus head, unleashing a barrage of powerful punches with it. Kratos glanced past Spawn and saw them falling out of the chasm, leading to a large round platform.

With a growl, Kratos drew back the hand and unleashed the Nemean Roar, at just the right time to form a crater in the ground, with Spawn bleeding in it. Kratos kept the assault up, bashing the hellspawn in the chest and face, with the powerful weapon until he platform shattered, and they fell into the water below, amongst the debris.

Spawn's head and chest healed, but it was going slower now then it was before.

Kratos saw his oppoents, temporarily daze, and dove down, and wrapped him in a bear hug, the spikes from the Nemean Cestus keeping him in place, while, Kratos' free arm wrapped around Spawn's neck.

The position was awkward, but Kratos began to pull. Spawn felt his neck strain, under Kratos's strength, and realized what he was going to do. Kratos sensed this and prepared to pull more. Spawn reached back to grab Kratos, but the spartan removed his arm from Spawn's neck and pulled out the blade of exile, chopping through his arm again. He then let go, and then proceed to wrap the heated chains of the blades, around his neck.

Spawn gripped the chains to keep the heated metal from tearing through his neck. However, Kratos didn't have a need for air thanks to Poseidon's trident, and began to pull harder.

"Looks like Kratos is going to be to tear his head off," Chopper said.

Franky nodded and said, "Now that he knows Spawn's weakness he's going to utilize it."

Everyone watched in awe as they saw the fight begin to reach its climax.

Kratos yanked up on the chains, pulling harder on Spawn's neck, green necroplasm-blood stained the water. However, Spawn was not dead yet. He willed spikes to form from his body, piercing Kratos' legs, causing him to scream in pain, releasing bubbles from his mouth, and staining the water's red.

Spawn broke the chains with his enhanced strength and spun around, drawing back his arm, which shifted into a much more muscular and dangerous looking form. He threw out a punch that Kratos countered with the Nemean Cestus. The impacted rattled the water around them, and Spawn's arm shattered as did the Nemean Cestus. S

Spawn didn't give Kratos time to rest, as he held out his unbroken arm and unleashed a blast of pure necroplasm that launched the spartan out of the water, and sent him crashing down on the remains of the platform several feet above.

Kratos groaned in pain as he stood up. He glanced behind him and saw the blades of chaos were still attached to his back, but the golden fleece, and the remains of the nemesis whips were scattered around him. He growled as he stood up and in a flash pulled out the blade of Olympus.

"There's the god killer," Zoro said, eyeing the beautifully crafted blade.

The rest of the crew leaned forward as they saw that the fight was about to end. Which of these monstrous titans would be able to come out on top.

Seconds later, Spawn shot out of the water, and landed with a loud sound. He glared at Kratos, before his cape vanished and in a flash of light, brought out the sword of the spirit.

The two stared at each other, the eyes of two prime warriors locked in combat.

Kratos was greatly injured an almost all of his weapons had been destroyed. He also didn't have the chains to his blades of exile, so that he could pull them back. However, he was still full on magic.

Spawn seemed to be unharmed, but he was still in a good amount of pain. His neck was still healing from the near decapitation a few moments prior, and his natural necroplasm reserves were starting to run out.

He and Kratos both got into a stance.

Silence filled the cavern, the only noise was the water beneath them. And then…they charged with matching battle cries, their weapons clashing with a loud clang, that echoed through the empty area.

The two fought hard, and met again. The sound of their clashing steal, singing out like a song of a hard fougth battle, with Kratos having memories of his battles before being brought in by Ares.

The two clashed and got into a stalemate, the sparks of their grinding blades. Spawn then used his incredible strength, throwing Kratos off balance and then charging forward, ready to stab him, but Kratos responded with his magic, summoning the Army of Sparta. The soldier, forming a barrier around him with their shields and spears.

"Crap I forgot he could do magic," Sanji said, "I think he might still be able to win this."

Luffy said, "Come on, bald guy! Kick his ass!"

Kratos then charged forward as Spawn was knocked back, reeling from his wounds. Spawn shot forward, and moved to swing his sword to decapitate the creature.

However, Spawn ducked at the last second, and swung up with his might sword, severing Kratos' sword arm.

Kratos screamed in agony as the limb fell, and blood splattered the ground.

Kratos groaned in pain as he fell to his knees. Spawn stood up and walked towards the fallen demigod. Spawn prepared his sword, raising it to split Kratos' head.

However, Kratos would not be denied. The pain gave way to rage as Kratos roared and tackled Spawn, knocking the sword from his hands. Kratos then pulled the blade of exile off his shoulder with his remaining arm, and stabbed Spawn in the chest, and then repeated it with the other blade. He then moved back towards the blade of Olympus and then moved to kill Spawn again.

However, as his eyes made contact, that was all that Spawn needed. He reached out with is mental powers, and entered Kratos' mind.

Suddenly, Kratos began to scream in agony, the pain driving through his berserker rage and making him fall to the ground as agony continued to plague him, unstopping, unrelenting. Spawn then stood up, ripping the blades out with a spray of blood.

Spawn then walked forward and grabbed, Kratos by the head, and then began to glow. There was a bright flash of light as the ashes on Kratos' body faded, Spawn absorbing the evil energy to heal himself. Then he picked up the sword of the spirit with his telekinetic powers and then drove the blade through Kratos' heart.

KO!

The spartan gagged on his own blood as his life began to fade. He tried to fight, but his life slowly left him and the spark in his eyes went dim. Suddenly, there was a bright flash of blue light, as a column of blue energy erupted from Kratos' corpse. Outside the mountain, a rain of bright blue energy began. Hope had been returned to the humans.

"There you go," Spawn said.

He glanced down at the blade of Olympus, and picked it up. Blue and green energy mixed together and the blade transformed into a new version, now looking Spawn themed.

With that, Spawn turned and opened a portal back to his home dimension.

The group cheered at the brutal fight. The fight had bene epic and had all kinds of craziness through it. Chopper thought it could have used a little bit less blood, but that was just him.

They cheered for Spawn's victory and clapped for Kratos' effort.

The doors closed and opened again, revealing Wiz and Boomstick.

Boomstick said, "Holy shit that was an awesome fight, but I know we are going to catch all kinds of hell from the God of War fanboys."

Wiz said, "Eh, let them complain. We'll just put in in the complaints departments."

The camera then moved towards a trash can and showed that there was the word, complaint department on it.

"What's with the complaint can?" Sanji asked.

Isom answered, "Well, these characters have a lot of fans in our world. If they are features in these battles, and then lose, they tend to freak out. Then they complain and make up evidence to support their theory as to why they should have won."

Brook said, "Huh…sounds kind of lame when you think about it."

Isom nodded. He remembered the time he was almost lynched by some of his teammates when he suggested that Erza should have won her battle with Zoro. He repressed a shudder at the memory.

Wiz said, "Kratos and Spawn are both brutal fighters. Master of tactics and brute force. The basically matched each other in strength, speed, and durability, but Spawn's various powers, powered by his imagination, gave him a leg up."

Boomstick said, "Yeah, not to mention, Spawn had the superior magical powers. While his were probably unlimted, Kratos had a limited supply, and only normally uses it against large amounts of enemies, or in certain situations. That doesn't mean Kratos was completely outmatched.

Wiz said, "Yes. Now, normally, Spawn wouldn't be harmed by mortal weapons. Given that Olympus is part of the earth, and not a separate dimension, like Heaven, they are imbued with divine powers, either from the beasts that they were made from, or the gods that forged them. In other words, these weapons would have killed Spawn, if they managed to get enough strikes in and wore down his regenerative powers, which we saw happen in the battle."

Boomstick added, "Yeah, and as we saw at the end of God of War 3, Zeus was able to destroy all of Kratos' weapons, even the nearly indestructible golden fleece. This proves that, while incredibly durable, Kratos' weapons can be destroyed with enough force, and well placed necroplasm bomb could do that, and even thought Kratos learned of Spawn's weakness to decapitation, Spawn new abou tit as well, and would be able to avoid such a move."

"So, they aren't indestructible, and Spawn could destroy his weapons, even if they are powerful," Franky observed.

He himself was made of mostly metal, but even parts could become damage and need to be replaced if he needed to. Maybe he should talk to Usopp about enhancing himself, or talk to someone about reinforcing the metal in his body.

Boomstick thought about something and said, "Wait, Wiz…shouldn't the claws of hades have ripped out his soul? He couldn't survive that, could he?"

Wiz answered, "For a normal Spawn, this would work, but Spawn is far from normal. He Is not composed of one soul, but thousands of souls, all of which who died in the same hour, which is believed to be in the thousands. As such, the claws wouldn't affect him."

Boomstick then asked, "Well, here is another question for you that the fanboys asked, shouldn't Spawn's powers have been run down by the amount of damage Kratos' divine weapons should have used?"

Wiz said, "Also true, however, Kratos himself provided a work around. As his sins are literally grafted to his body, plus the countless amount of blood on his hands, Kratos provided enough evil energy and sin to allow Spawn to drain and become powerful. Something Kratos didn't have a counter for."

Boomstick said, "Oh yeah, not to mention Kratos' mental powers which can mind rape you into permanent agony, manipulate dreams and other stuff, which Kratos also can't counter as he's fallen for mind games before."

Wiz said, "Essentially, Kratos stood no chance in hell against Spawn's might."

Boomstick chuckled and said, "Good one. The winner is Spawn."

The group nodded at the analysis and they had to agree. Kratos didn't seem to have the power to end Spawn, injure and cripple him, maybe, but with his ability to feed on evil energy and sin, he was nearly unstoppable.

Still it was a very memorable, fight and they were very interested in seeing what came next.

"Guys," Sanji said, "We'll watch the trailer, but after that I need to go get started on dinner. We're done with this for the night."

Next time on death battle…

The screen was completely black. Music began to start. Suddenly, a streak of blue ran across the screen, and a figure weildign tow katanas was visible, swinging them back and forth before freezing.

A second streak of red ran across the screen, the figure in in wielding a pair of sais, twirling them around in his hands before freezing in a stance.

A third streak of purple ran across the screen, the figure spinning and striking out with a staff before freezing.

Finally, a streak of orange, and that figure was wielding dual nunchaku and lashing out with them.

The screen then split between the four colors, each one taking up a quarter of the screen, before the weapons launched into each other, and the screen went black as a title appeared on it.

TMNT Battle Royale.

"Ninjas!" the two members of the childish trio yelled out in awe, as they saw the weapons.

Zoro smirked and said, "This should be interesting."

Luffy got on his knees in front of Sanji and asked, "Can we watch it after we eat? Please?!"

Sanji sighed and said, "Even if I say no, I know you're going to do it anyway. Fine."

The childish duo cheered as they ran up towards the kitchen, ready to eat so they could watch the new episode. The others soon followed, leaving the device alone. Isom walked over to the device and pressed a button, pausing the device.

Cut! Okay, that was fun. I hope I didn't the battle justice. I was also doing my best, not to copy what t the Young Justice Watches Death Battle, guy did. Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed it Criticism is welcome, flames are ignored.

Also I know none of you want to hear this, but…this is a hiatus announcement.

Now before you freak out. You see, I intend to shift from this fic, to another story that has my original death battles in it. This will not only make the original death battle part easier to do, but I think that it would still be fun. However, until then, this is going on hiatus, for a while. As soon as the originals are done, I'm coming back to finish season 1, and then have a slew of originals battles just for you.
