I own nothing.

Now then, apparently that Hiatus wasn't as long as I thought. Now, I have started doing the original death battles, as you've seen. I did this because writing the rewritten death battles for this was hard enough. I decided it would be a good idea to separate my original death battles. Plus, let's face it, I like writing these.

For Link, imagine how he looks in Breath of the Wild, only with his shirt colored green.

Chapter 12: New Bounties and Swordsmen Clash.

"Guys! We have a problem!"

Everyone turned towards the source of the noise and were shocked when they saw Nami nearly tear down the door.

Luffy immediately stood up and said, "Are we about to be attacked again?"

Nami answered, "No…apparently they have some new bounties and wanted posters out for us. That marine we took down was apparently on the verge of being promoted to admiral! All our bounties have gone up! They even have one for you Isom!"

The interdimensional traveler looked shocked.

She spread out the papers.

Luffy's poster was the same, but the bounty had gone up to three hundred and fifty million.

"Alright! It went up again!" Luffy cheered.

Zoro's new poster showed him with his swords out and with a demonic aura around him. Demon Blades Zoro…with a bounty of a hundred and eighty million.

Zoro grinned and said, "Demon Blades huh…catchy."

Nami's new poster sported a new image. In place of her swimsuit picture was her fighting off a bunch of marines, lightning arcing around her staff. Lightning Witch Nami bounty twenty million.

"I liked the old picture better," she said aloud.

Usopp's new poster was a freeze frame of Usopp standing up to the cannon's, the view taken from the side, the look of determination and bravery on his face as he faced them down. Sniper King Usopp bounty fifty-five million.

Usopp looked ready to cry as they saw his face.

Sanji's new poster was a freeze frame of him surrounded by marines, an enraged look on his face as he held his Diable Jambe ready to strike. Black Leg Sanji bounty eighty-eight million.

Sanji cheered and said, "Finally, they got rid of that damned artist rendering. The ladies of the world are finally going to see how handsome I am."

Robin's picture was changed to a more recent picture from the battle. The Devil's Child Nico Robin. Bounty eighty-nine million.

She just smiled.

Brook's eye sockets landed on his picture, showing him surrounded by marines with his sword drawn and his violin in his hand. The Humming Fencer Brook bounty forty-four million.

Brook let out his signature laugh at the new bounty and said, "I wondered when it would go up again. Finally, after forty-nine years."

Franky's image didn't change, but the bounty had. Cyborg Franky bounty sixty million.

Franky declared, "Super!"

Chopper's new poster saw him in his larger form bashing marines away like they were toys. Changeling Tony Tony Chopper bounty forty million.

Chopper said, "Yay! I'm glad that I got a bounty!"

Isom looked at the last picture. It was apparently an artist rendering, much like Sanji's used to be. It depicted a large man in armor, with a look that reminded him of Gut's berserker mode. The Iron Knight (Artist Rendering) Bounty seventy-five million.

"Now I wish I had stood for a photo," Isom said, crossing his arms, "I look like a cheaply drawn supervillain."

Luffy said, "Hey, guys the next episode is starting. WE can boast about our awesome new bounties later."

Everyone set down their bounties and turned towards the screen as the new episode played.

Boomstick said, "These two fighters are some of the most iconic in video game history, both known for taking things that are WAY out of their league."

Wiz said, "And I if I remember correctly, Boomstick they are both wield weapons that a belong in your personal top ten."

Boomstick excitedly yelled, "DAMN RIGHT!"

Bringing up a hologram of the two contestants, Wiz said, "First, is Link the hero of Hyrule…and tons of other stuff."

Boomstick said, "And Cloud Strife the defender of the life stream…and orphans."

Nami said, "I think I like the second guy already."

Robin answered, "I agree."

Wiz said, "Now, these two fighters both present a unique challenge for us, given that they both have very large and customizable arsenals, that can be used according to the player. For the rules of death battle, and our own sanity, we've decided to use the weapons that are most recurring and what they are both known for."

Boomstick said, "Mainly, what they bring into fighting games, plus a few things to spice things up. And since armor isn't specified in certain games, we're taking the information on that from their separate games."

Luffy said, "What?"

Robin answered, "They both have large arsenals of weapons and armor, so they're only picking certain ones."

Luffy went, "Oh."

Zoro said, "Blah Blah Blah, get to the weapons already."

Sanji said, "Why? Feeling inadequate, mosshead?"

Wiz continued, "Also due to the rules of death battle, no summons or outside help."

Boomstick, in a whiny voice, said, "Oh, but wizard the summons and the fairies and the-"

Wiz said, "As Boomstick would probably say, shut up this is how we do things."

Boomstick rubbed his hands together and said, "But enough with the explanations. It's killing time! He's Wiz, I'm Boomstick, and it's time for a sword swinging death battle!"

The doors closed and reopened.

Wiz said, "Centuries ago the goddess Hylia ruled over the world bringing peace and happiness. And because this is an origin, you know that this didn't last for very long."

Nami said, "We should probably be used to something like this happening. It always seems to be bad stuff happening to people.

Boomstick said, "In this case, the demon king Demise decided he wanted to rule the world and took amassed a huge ass army of monsters and nearly wiped out all life in Hyrule. I mean, what else are you going to do with a name like Demise, babysit kids?"

"Demise," Franky sarcastically said, "Yeah that is a name that I would definitely trust to build my ship."

Sanji said, "And cook my food."

Nami said, "Or read directions."

Wiz said, "Demise and Hylia's battle destroyed the world, leaving it broken and cracked. Eventually, she sealed Demise away, and to help the people of Hyrule, she sent a piece of the earth into the sky, a new land dubbed Skyloft. It is here, that Link was born."

"So, they lived above the clouds like in Skypiea," Nami said, "That sounds so cool. I wonder if they had dials."

Usopp said, "If they did, I wonder if they would be the same or different from the ones I use."

Wiz pressed a button showing link in his appearance from Breath of the Wild.

Link

Age: 17(?)

Height: 5'7''

Left-handed

Multincarnate

Humble and Brave

I somehow surpassed by Zelda in terms of legendary-ness

Wiz continued, "Link grew up in Skyloft, the piece of Hyrule launched into the sky, and dreamed of being a knight. Upon passing the exam, and flying in celebration…"

Boomstick interrupted, "And probably hoping to get some sweet celebratory booty."

Wiz looked annoyed, but continued, "Zelda was pulled under the clouds. As a knight, Link took it upon himself to find and save her. This would lead him to learning of the triforce."

Boomstick said, "Oh, I know this. This magical triple threat was given to Hyrule by three goddesses and went harness could grant any wish. Turns out, this is what old Demise was looking for when he destroyed the world."

Chopper said, "Wow. That sounds like a treasure anyone would want to have."

Nami's eyes turned to berry symbols as she imagined gaining all the world's wealth.

Zoro imagined being given an unstoppable sword but shrugged it off not wanting to cheat his way to the top.

The others had similar wishes, such as unending meat or sweets, true invincibility, the world's most advanced weapons, a harem of the world's most beautiful women, etcetera.

Boomstick continued, "Anyway, after some adventuring, monster killing, and awesome battles, Link found and rescued Zelda. Unfortunately, she got used to free Demise, but with some help from Zelda they managed to defeat Demise, but he was a bit of a sore loser."

Wiz explained, "With his last breath, Demise cursed Link and Zelda's descendants. Forcing them to forever encounter an embodiment of his rage."

Boomstick said, "Hold on to your butts, because this is the part where things can get confusing."

Everyone blinked in confusion and looked to Isom, who simply motioned for them to listen.

Wiz said, "Through the next several hundred years, Link and Zelda would be reincarnated into new forms, all carrying the same name with the strength and power to fight against the embodiment of Demise's rage…known as Ganondorf, but that's a different character for a different battle."

Robin rubbed her chin and said, "So when he cursed them, they were forced to fight off the same enemy several times."

Boomstick said, "Add some time travel to the mix and things can get really crazy. To make thing less annoying, and to avoid some really stupid shit…"

Shows an image of the Legend of Zelda cartoon

"We'll be sticking with the main timeline from Skyward Sword to Twilight Princess to Breath of the Wild."

"I take it that those are the names of installments of the series," Robin said.

Isom nodded and said, "Breath of the Wild was the most recent. And it's been pretty good so far."

Wiz said, "Due to the curse, Link has been reincarnated several times with the abilities and skills of past Links showing up almost immediately. This is thanks to the spirit of the hero, which grants Link incredible courage and combat skills."

Skills and abilities through reincarnation

Spirit of the Hero

Master Swordsman

Master Archer

Other weapons.

Boxing

Wresting

5-star chef (as of Breath of the Wild)

Genius Puzzle Solver

Other Miscellaneous skills

Boomstick said, "Hell yeah he does. When unarmed he's a proficient boxer and wrestler, but he has no problem fighting with weapons. He's wielded Hammers, spears, axes, and other weapons, but his favorites are a sword and a bow and arrow."

Wiz said, "Apparently, he's also a very effective chef. Just give him some ingredients and a pot and he can make some very delicious meals that can heal wounds, increase his own strength, and even help him withstand the cold heights of mountains and the punishing heat of deserts. Oh, and he can scale mountain cliffs with his bare hands and no gear…somehow"

Sanji rubbed his chin and said, "Hey, Isom, do you have any of those recipes on you? I would like to see if I can try them. Plus, I wish we had those recipes when we were on Drum Island and in Alabasta."

Isom rubbed his chin and said, "Well, I can use the box to bring certain items into this world. We'll talk about it come dinner time."

Meanwhile, Zoro rubbed his chin in thought at Link being a master swordsman. He wondered what else this kid could do.

Wiz continued, "Aside from surprising culinary skills, Link is a master at solving puzzles. This leads to him having an out of the box style of thinking, which has led to him defeating several monster, many of them several times himself."

Wiz said, "Even when stripped down to his underwear, he can still take on enemies, mainly due to his favorite gear!"

Main Weapons Master Sword

-Sword Beam, multiple variants

-made to slay evil

-virtually indestructible

Typically has three medallions-quake, bombos, and ether

Hylian Shield

-indestructible

-forged by Lanaryu, thunder dragon

Bow and Arrows

-Fire Arrow

-Ice Arrow

-Shock Arrow

-Light Arrow

-Bomb Arrow

Boomstick appeared in the armor and he picked up a model version of the Master Sword.

Boomstick explained, "First, we have the Master Sword, the number 4 on my top 10. This blade was forged by the goddess Hylia to slay evil, earning the title blade of evil's bane. This sword is perfectly balanced and doesn't seem to get any blood on it when you stab someone. Saves you on cleaning. It can even deflect energy blasts when swung right."

Zoro whistled at the sight of the master sword. He could tell that it was specially made and the way the blade seemed to glow was amazing. The fact that the sword seemed to be in pristine condition after so many years was a testament to how well it was made.

"Wow," Chopper said, "It sounds like the old story I read with Dr. Hilukluk about a magical sword that made a man a king."

The gun lover continued, "When in combat, this blade can even fire various projectiles from beams, to energy waves. On top of that, no matter how long this thing waits to be unsheathed, it is always sharp as a razor, ready to slice open some vile flesh. Even after it was horribly damaged by Calamity Ganon, the sword managed to repair itself. It's self-sharpening and self-repairing. Wish I had that for my car."

Zoro said, "Nice."

Robin looked him over and said, "You're drooling."

Sanji said, "If you like that blade so much why don't you marry it?"

Before an argument could start, Nami just knocked the two over the head."

Wiz then came down on screen in the corner and said, "However, the master sword does have its flaws. In Breath of the Wild, it was stated that the sword was meant to kill evil. If not used against evil, the sword will become confused and will actually shut down for an extended period."

Boomsitck said, "Well, that stinks, but still awesome."

Usopp said, "Well that sounds stupid. A magic sword that shuts down when he doesn't use it right?"

Zoro said, "Well, it is meant to kill evil. Using it to chop down a tree or slice up veggies would be a complete misuse of it. I don't understand the sentient part however. I've heard rumors of that, but I've never seen it."

Zoro then thought, 'Then again, my swords do seem to have a mind of their own sometimes.'

Boomstick said, "He's also got some cool moves, other than the awesome lasers, such as the spin attack and hurricane spin, the gigantic skyward strike, and at full strength he can use the sword beam, but it requires him to be at full health for some reason. He can even slice opponents behind him, bash them with whatever shield he's wielding, split them in half with the helm splitter, end them samurai style with Mortal Draw and impale them with the Ending Blow. On top of that, the sword has three medallions. He can conjure fire with the bombos, summons lighting with ether, and create minor earthquakes with quake."

Zoro said, "Not bad. I don't think he'd be able to compare to me thought.

Isom rubbed his chin in thought and said, "I wonder what else they can do."

Boomstick continued, "Anyway, what is a sword without a shield? To complete the pair, Link brings out the Hylian shield. This awesome shield was forged by a goddamned thunder dragon named Lanaryu. As such this shield is indestructible."

As he spoke, Boomstick displayed the shield and set it down.

He continued, "And when he needs to get his enemies hurt from a distance, he can shoot at them with uncanny accuracy with a bow and arrow. He can hit enemies a great distance with these things. And he's got a ton of different ones to use. He can start out with just plain arrows, he can upgrade them to the more powerful silver arrows, the darkness killing light arrows, the burning fire arrows, the freezing ice arrows, the electric shock arrows, and the exploding bomb arrows."

With each arrow listed, Boomstick unleashed an arrow on a gel torso. The normal arrow got stuck in the torso's head, the silver arrow punched right through the torso's chest, the light arrow left a burn mark, the fire arrow lit the torso on fire, the ice arrow caused layer of frost to form on it, the shock arrow caused a current to go through the dummy, and the bomb arrow exploded.

Boomstick chuckled and said, "I love my job."

Boomsitck was then aware of the fire caused by the fire and bomb arrows and immediately screamed. He ran off and grabbed a fire extinguisher and started to hose down the flames.

Everyone got a laugh at seeing him freak out.

Usopp said, "Hey, Franky. You think you can help me make something like those shock or ice arrows?"

Franky rubbed his chin in thought and said, "I don't know. We'll have to brainstorm on that one good buddy."

The show cut back to Wiz who was watching Boomstick, shaking his head.

The scientist then said, "Aside from his weapons, Link has a plethora of equipment for getting places."

Wiz hit a button and a series of holograms came up.

Equipment

Hookshot

Boomerang

Bombs and Bombchus

Titan's Mitts

Fire/Ice Rod

Golden Gauntlets

Paraglider

Sheikah Slate

-Magnet Rune-move metal objects

-Stasis Rune-freezes object and opponents (5 seconds or less)

-Ice Rune-raises ice platforms on water

-Bomb runes-summons square or round bombs

Wiz said, "Link has used a ton of equipment over the years and with his several incarnations. He's frequently used the hookshot to travel distances and bring items to him, and a boomerang as another ranged weapon. The titan mitts and golden gauntlets both increase his strength, but not his striking power, and he can launch ice and fire with the ice and fire rods. The paraglider allows him to glide through the air, but his most recent addition to equipment is the Sheika slate."

Wiz displayed the device, showing an ipad like device and said, "The Sheika slate is mainly used as a map for Link to travel, and take pictures. However, it has other uses. It has access to special runes Link can use to teleport across the world, create bombs, move metal objects with magnetism, freeze time on objects and people, for a brief time, and form ice on bodies of water. He can even use it to store a motorcycle of all things."

Sanji said, "Dang, this guy must have some really deep pockets to carry all that stuff."

Chopper said, "How is that possible?"

Isom answered, "Magic. Don't question it kid."

Everyone was silent as they turned toward the screen.

Nami said, "That Sheika slate seems pretty cool. I wouldn't have to worry about my maps getting soaked in the rain. Plus, it would be easier to read since we wouldn't have to measure everything so loosely."

Usopp said, "I think the titan mitts, golden gauntlets, and hookshot sound the best. I wonder if I can put something like that together in the workshop?"

Zoro said, "Yeah, but why don't they increase striking power? What's the point?"

Robin said, "If they boost strength only, probably just to move things out of the way. Aside from that, the strength boost would be good for catching or stopping large objects, maybe even hold their own in assaults."

Boomstick reentered and said, "Damn this guy must have some deep pockets. Well, the little fairy dude must have some magic about him given I don't see it anywhere on him."

Wiz blinked and said, "Hold on…fairy?"

Boomstick said, "Yeah, I mean look at those tights, the ears, and the hair. Totally a fairy."

"I don't thin he looks like a fairy," Luffy said, "He looks more like an elf or a pixie."

Zoro said, "I'm going with the elf thing. The pointy ears."

Wiz said, "Actually, Boomstick, given his pointy years, and the use of a sword and bow, he more resembles and elf then a fairy."

Wiz then turned to the camera and said, "Getting back to the subject, Link's equipment is mainly used for exploration rather than fighting people. This is reflected in Link's use of them, often using strategy and quick thinking to gain an advantage, and even win against opponents. This couple with Link's surprising physical abilities. He's strong enough to lift large rock, and push giant boulders, as well as go toe to toe with enemies far larger and stronger than himself. He's even go the stamina to travel and fight for days without rest."

Boomstick shrugged, "And if the awesome sword, shield, techniques, and gadgets aren't enough, he's got a ton of magic he can use to take down his enemies."

Magic

Tri-Force of Courage

Shield-increases resistance to damage

Jump – increases jump height

Thunder-damages everything nearby

Reflect-increases shield strength

Din's Fire-engulfed in flames

Naryu's Love-invulnerability

Mipha's Grace-heals himself

Urbosa's Fury-burst of lightning

Revali's Gale-launch into the air

Daruk's Protection-protected from all damage

Boomstick said, "In some of his incarnations, Link in capable of using magic. He can use shield to increase his resistance to damage, jump into jump higher, and reflect to increase his shield strength."

Wiz said, "He can summon fire with Din's fire, and bring down blasts of lighting with Urbosa's Fury, and Thunder. He can launch himself into the air with Revali's Gale, mainly to help glide longer distances, and he can protect himself with Naryu's Love and Daruk's Protection. And if he's ever gravely injured, he can use Mipha's Grace to heal himself from all wounds."

Boomstick said, "All of this is thanks to the Tri-force of Courage, a third of the wish-granting tri-force, this mystical symbol emblazoned on his hand that grants him his magical abilities, and according to mythos, allows him to master any weapon he gets his hands on."

Wiz said, "The jury is still out on that."

Zoro said, "So that tri-force is what grants him his powers, huh? Weak."

Robin said, "I have noticed a repeat in his abilities. He mainly seems to be able to manipulate the elements. I wonder how that will play into the battle?"

Nami said, "Maybe, I can make a technique like Urbosa's Fury, it looked pretty cool."

Chopper said, "Maybe if I learn how to use Haki, I ca do something like Daruk's Protection and Naryu's Love with my defense point. Maybe I could try making it bigger to protect everyone?"

Isom smiled from his position, seeing the inspiration it was giving them."

Wiz said, "However, Link has a very limited supply of magic, some spells only being able to be cast a few times before they need and extensive time to recharge."

Boomstick said, "Yeah, for his strength and stamina Link isn't that much of a power house in terms of durability. A few well-placed hits will take him down like any other man, and while he can withstand intense heat and cold, it will kill him after a while. Stupid mountains and deserts."

Wiz said, "It is because of this that Link uses various piece of armor to defend himself."

Armor

Chain-mail Shirt

Red Mail – boosts defense by 25%

Red-Ring-boots defense by 75% and doubles attack

Boots

-Irons Boots-increases weight

Hover Boots-Hovers

Pegasus Boots (With Roc's Feather)-increases speed

Boomstick said, "Link has tons of armor, to increase strength, increase stealth survive incredible cold or heat, and even become more effective when fight laser-shooting murder robots! But we'll be sticking to his tried and true armors. Under his clothes, he typically wears a rivetted chainmail shirt, but he can switch it out for the red mail for a boost in defense. He also wears the red ring for a boost in attack and defense."

Wiz said, "He also carries at least 3 sets of boots for different effects."

Boomstick said, "Are you sure he's not a fairy?"

Rolling his eyes, Wiz said, "With the Iron Boots, Link can become incredibly heavy, good for wrestling opponents or standing his ground. He can hover over gaps and water with the Hover Boots, and he can increase his speed with a Roc feather infused pair of Pegasus Boots."

"I don't get the fairy thing?" Chopper said, "He's obviously an elf, like Wiz said."

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

Sanji said, "You don't understand a lot of things."

Isom spoke up and said, "Actually, fairy in some cases, is used to describe a feminine man. I think Boomstick is just making a crack at Link's manhood."

This lead to a series of agreements from the straw hats.

Franky said, "Hey, if he's been going against monsters of all kinds and braving the environment all on his own, I'd say he's pretty damn manly."

Feats

Lifted over 1000 pounds (with golden gauntlets)

Deflects lasers from Guardians

Defeated entire armies single handed

Constantly defeats the more powerful Ganondorf and Ganon

Wiz said, "Link has done some impressive things. He's fought entire armies and defated them on his own, he's lifted over a thousand pounds, and he's is constantly defeating the horrifying Ganon. However, given his large arsenal, Link can over rely on his equipment, which can leave him vulnerable."

"So, he relies too much on his equipment," Robin said, "That could be a problem."

Usopp nodded and then a thoughtful look came across his face.

"Hey, do you think that I do the same thing with my tricks and Kabuto?"

This lead to the others thinking about it, especially the weakling trio. Did they over rely on their weapons?"

Boomstick said, "He might be a bit of a glass cannon, but if he's brave enough to fight a guy three times his size, wielding a sword twice as big as he is, you have some serious stones."

The gun lover then grinned and said, "Besides, if he dies, we can just clap our hands and wish him back to life."

Wiz face palmed and said, "He's not a fairy."

They show an image clip of Link pulling the Master Sword out of a stone and holding it aloft.

Usopp said, "I like this guy. I think that he might be one of my favorite fighters."

Nami said, "Strategy does seem to be something that a lot of these contestants seem to ignore. I wonder what else they can do."

Zoro said, "That sword of his seem slike jac of all trades. Though the limits of magic seem to be a bit of a problem."

Robin said, "I'll withhold my judgement for now. I want to see what this Cloud Strife can do."

Luffy said, "Bring on the big blond guy!"

The doors closed and reopened.

Wiz said, "As a child, Cloud Strife grew up in the village of Nibelheim in the mountains. He had next to no friends, and, to cope, he began to think he was superior to the other kids."

Cloud Strife

Age: 24

Height: 4'7''

Impulsive and moody

Inferiority complex most likely coped with by chosen weapon

Boomstick said, "Oh, this can't be good. Anyway, his holier than though attitude didn't last very long. When he was nine, his crush Tifa Lockhart, nearly died he swore he would never be weak again. How would be do that? By joining the army."

Luffy said, "Huh, kind of sounds like Coby. Only this guy seems braver."

Brook asked, "Coby?"

Luffy said, "Oh, he was this super weak guy who got stuck on a pirate ship. He wanted to join the marines to become strong and defend people. Last I checked, he was training with Grandpa."

Brook said, "Oh my, I think I want to meet this Coby. He sounds like a delight, though the thought of a marine on our ship again, makes my spine somewhat tingle."

Wiz said, "When he was fourteen, Cloud learned of the mighty soldier Sephiroth, the soldier of the Shinra Electric Company, a massive organization that spanned the world providing power, and was so powerful it had its own army!"

Boomstick winced and said, "Yikes, better not miss your payments."

The tech genius continued, "Anyway, after joining Shinra, Cloud was stuck as an infantry man for a while, but he eventually managed to meet his hero Sephiroth and his future friend, Zack Fair. It was actually going pretty well until he came back to Nibelheim."

Boomstick said, "Yeah, while there, Sephiroth learned that he was the clone son of an alien named Jenova, who Shinra thought would help them find ultimate power, or unlimited energy or something. Sephiroth went crazy and murdered the entire town."

"Oh my god," Nami said, "That sounds horrible."

Robin had some brief flashbacks to the destruction of Ohara and wondered if she could have wound up like Sephiroth if she had gone mad by her time on the run.

Wiz said, "Thankfully Cloud managed to stop him, but was gravely injured by Sephiroth in the process."

Boomstick said, "And if witnessing his town being destroyed by his idol turned mad wasn't enough, Cloud was captured by Shinra scientist, Doc Hojo, who turned him and Zack into guinea pigs for his experiments injecting them with Jenova cells, and exposed to mako, and energy from the planet. However, they were both deemed failures."

Wiz said, "They were then put on ice for four years, escaped, and then Zack got killed."

Franky said, "Man, that guy doesn't seem to have any luck now does he?"

Chopper said, "No…and why would that man experiment on humans?"

Isom answered, "People are crazy, Chopper. You really should have realized that after dealing with Hogback and his crazy experiments and obsession."

Boomstick said, "Damn, Cloud has just got no luck. Anyway, Cloud kind of went crazy after that, thinking he was Zack for a while and becoming a mercenary. Only, it turns out Sephiroth wasn't as dead as everyone believed. He didn't just survive Cloud stopping him, he came back even stronger."

Wiz said, "Over the course of the adventure, Cloud began to remember who he really was and retrieved his normal personality and memories, and he proved just how strong he really was."

Everyone got ready as they prepared to listen to just what this guy could bring to the table.

Abilities

Superhuman strength

Superhuman speed

First Class Soldier training

Wiz explained, "As a first-class soldier, Cloud has retrieved training in combat, this coupled with his superhuman strength, speed, and durability make him a force to be reckoned with."

Boomstick said, "I'll say, he's strong enough to cut through concrete on his his awesome bike Fenrir, fast enough to block close-rang bullets, and durable enough to tank a punch during fight, powerful enough to do this!"

Shows a clip of a fight, where the person Cloud is fighting punches an incredibly thick tree, shattering it.

The group whistled.

"Damn," Zoro said, "I don't think even I could have a taken a hit like that and gotten back up."

Wiz said, "Part of that is probably due to his protective gear."

Armor

Ziedrich

-Defensive Strength: 100%

-Magic Defensive Strength: 100%

-20% Power Increase

-Halves Damage

Metal Pauldron

Ribbon

-immunity to status ailments

Wiz said, "In combat, Cloud wears the Zeidrich. This band protects him from the elements, fire, ice, lightning, etcetera. And boosts his attack power by twenty percent, and even halves the damage of many attacks."

Boomstick said, "He also wears a metal pauldron on his shoulder, good for shoulder checking someone."

Wiz said, "And in case of emergencies, Cloud also wears a ribbon. Now this may look girly, but this ribbon makes him immune to status ailments such as being burned, stunned, or anything along those lines."

Boomstick said, "Totally worth wearing a chick accessory."

"So he can't be burned, frozen, shocked, or anything along those lines," Isom said, seeing the curious looks on the groups face.

Franky blinked and said, "If a ribbon could do that, then I would want it too. Makes you wonder if Luffy's hat has a power since he always wears it."

Luffy yelled, "My hat has a mystery power?! Awesome."

Robin said, "I think this is going to leave Link at a disadvantage. Given that many of his attacks are elemental and magic in nature, the ribbon and band could prove useful against him."

Boomstick said, "But aside from the armor, Clouds show stopping is the number 5 in my personal top ten swords…the Buster Sword."

Buster Sword

Length: 6'

Width: 2'

Base Power: 19

Base Accuracy: 96

2 linked materia slots

Single-edged broadsword

Passed down from Angeal to Zack to Cloud

The scene cut to the armor where Boomstick put on his strength enhancing gloves and lifted the replica of the large weapon. Though he lost his balance a bit due to the cumbersome size.

"Look at this thing!" he said, "This is a man-sized sword right here."

"Whoa!" Franky said, "That IS a super sword right there."

"Six feet long and two feet wide?!" Usopp said reading the stats on the weapon, "That thing is huge! But what's materia?"

Nami said, "Probably a magic thing."

Zoro stared in awe at the weapon. It looked massive. At first glance he guessed it had to weigh between three hundred and four hundred pounds, and that guy was swinging it around like crazy.

Boomstick said, "Standing at six feet long, two feet wide, and between three and four hundred pounds, according to Wiz, this sword is massive, and Cloud just swing this around like it's nothing. He's got plenty of finesse with this thing. He can even throw it like a boomerang for Pete's sake!"

"Looks like something you need to work on, moss head," Sanj said.

Zoro just ignored him as he turned his attention back to the show.

Boomstick said, "He's also got a bunch of special attack, called Limit Breaks emo-fueled energy attacks that Cloud can use to really bring the hurt."

Limit Breaks

Braver

Cross-Slash

Blade Beam

Climbhazzard

Meteorain

Finishing Touch

Omnislash version 5

Boomstick said, "He can split enemies in half with Braver, paralyze then with Cross-Slash, launch energy with Blade Beam, impale them with Climbhazard, summon meteors with Meteorain, blow them away with Finishing Touch and finally, slashes them to chunks with Omnislash."

Usopp said, "Except for the beam, I think that Zoro could copy some of these moves pretty easily."

As he said this, Zoro was examining the limit breaks with a critical eye. With his pseed he could copy them, but it might take a while for him to do something like the blade beam.

Boomstick said, "And if that is not enough, this beautiful death dealer has two slots for materia. Wiz, time to nerd things up."

The screen cut back to Wiz who now had a hologram next to him that looked like a glowing mist.

Wiz explained, "Materia is condensed mako, the same energy that Shinra collects to power machines, and enhance soldiers, like Cloud, Zack, and Sephiroth. Materia can be used to create all kinds of weapons and tools, and in Cloud's case he uses them for elemental attacks."

Materia

Fire Materia

-Fire, Fira, and Firaga attacks

-projectile pyrokinesis.

-Reduces strength with each use

Lightning Materia

-Thunder, Thundara, and thundaga attacks

-Call lightning from the sky and bolts of magic lightning

-use slightly decreases strength

Wiz said, "While the player can ultimately choose to use what type of materia Cloud has, Cloud has been known to use the fire and lightning materia to control lightning and fire in combat."

As Boomstick entered from stage right, Wiz continued, "But there is a problem. Materia has to be pulled from the lifrestream, a mystical pool of energy that, essentially, powers the planet."

Boomstick then interrupted, "And, more importantly, they both slightly decrease his strength with each use, and who wouldn't want to be as strong as Cloud?"

Feats

Fought Sephiroth on equal grounds

Defeated Sephiroth/Jenova 3 times

Kills Bahamut SIN

Regularly survives free falls and shrugs off impalement

Boomstick said, "He's survived being impaled multiple times, and has conquered the monstrous Sephiroth and his just as powerful mother Jenova. He' even killed Bahamut SIN, a giant dragon of pure destruction."

"So Cool!" the childish trio said.

Nami looked horrified as he yelled, "He fought that thing? Damn."

Robin said, "How interesting."

Wiz said, "But for all his strength Cloud has his faults. His strength and durability have limits, and he's not the brightest fighter, mainly focusing on overpowering his foes and overcoming them with pure strength."

Boomstick said, "It's more fun that way."

Wiz said, "In any case, if you happen to cross paths with this swordsman, you'd better be ready for a fight."

They show an image of Cloud standing at the ready.

The doors closed.

Now immediately everyone began to make bets on who would win. The main members of the monster trio thought that Cloud would win because he had the superior strength. However, the weakling trio believed that Link would win as a strategist.

Franky believed in Link due to his various gear and abilities, as did Robin.

Brook was split between the two as he liked both characters, so he decided to stay neutral in this fight.

Zoro suddenly had an idea and said, "Hey, witch. Why don't we make a deal?"

Nami looked at Zoro with an interested expression.

"If Cloud wins," he said, "My debt to you is cleared. If Link wins, its doubled. Deal?"

Nami glanced at the screen, thinking about it and said, "Deal."

The pair shook, indicating their deal. They then turned to watch the match.

Wiz said, "Alright the combatants are set, the Hero of Hyrule vs the Super Soldier."

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

The doors closed and opened, revealing Tarrey Town. All was peaceful and quiet, up until the sound of something being smashed was heard. The camera zoomed over to reveal a Hinox and a Stone Talus, rampaging through the town, the members running for their lives.

Suddenly, Tifa Lockheart ran towards the two large monsters, she caught a punch from the Hinox and then threw it to the side, before punching it hard in the stomach cracking it.

"Whoa!" Nami yelled, "Now that is a tough lady."

"My lovely brawler!" Sanji yelled, going all lovesick in a moment.

Isom said, "That is Tifa Lockheart, Cloud's sweetheart, so don't do anything stupid unless you want to get a face full of buster sword, big man."

Tifa unleashed another haymaker that shattered the giant Stone Talus but was caught off guard when the Hinox swung a tree like a club and caught her in the side. She smashed into a building, causing it to collapse.

The Hinox roared in anger but was stopped at the sound of a roaring engine. It turned around to see Link riding in on his motorcycle. The blond warrior shot off and aimed his bow, preparing a bomb arrow, and fired it striking the creature right in the eye. The Hinox went limp as its body turned to darkness and fell to its knees before exploding into a blast of black smoke and purple light.

Link then turned towards the downed woman and ran over to her. As he approached her, he saw that she was gravely injured. He began going through his bags trying to find an elixir or some food to heal her, but the sound of an engine reached his ears.

Knowing he was the only person in Hyrule, at the time, with a motorcycle he spun around. He saw Cloud arrive on Fenrir and saw the downed Tifa and the mysterious man near her. At this point, Cloud's mind jumped to conclusions…the worst kind.

"Uh oh," Nami said, "It looks like Cloud is going to jump to conclusions, the worst kind."

Link raised his hands in an attempt to placate the angered blond man, but it didn't do anything. The man charged forward and swung his sword.

Link immediately brought the Hylian shield forward and parried the attack.

Fight!

Link charged in with a stab, aiming at Cloud's exposed side stomach. However, Cloud leapt above the Hylian hero and charged at his back with his sword drawn. Link then drew the master sword and swung hard, the two weapons clashed with a rain of small sparks.

Link was pushed backwards in the struggle, wince slightly as his hands felt numb from the impact.

"Looks like Link's catching on quick," Usopp said.

Chopper yelled, "Come on, Link take that meathead down!"

Sanji said, "Come on, Cloud turn that fairy into sliced meat!"

Luffy said, "Oh great, now I'm hungry."

Link backflipped to avoid an attack and charged in at the still swinging Cloud. Link charged in and slashed at him. The soldier let out a cry of pain as he felt his body get cut. He winced as blood dripped down his body but roared in anger as he swung hard. Link jumped backwards again and found himself blocking and overhead swing.

Link dodged to the right avoiding the attack and spun on his heel pointing the master sword at Cloud, using the bombos medallion to fire a blast of at Cloud. To the hero of Hyrule's shock, the SOLDIER went right through it, with barely a burn on him.

Link's body released a flash of light as the image of Revali formed behind him, and a blast of wind launched him into the air. Deciding to test his theory, Link shot two fire arrows and as he came crashing down released Din's Fire.

The flames blasted Cloud back from the force, but he remained unburned.

Link mentally cursed as he saw that not only was Link stronger than him, but he was apparently fire proof. Link continued launching an ice and shock arrow, only to receive the same effect, making him mentally curse even louder.

"I was afraid of this," Robin said, "The ribbon is preventing Link's magic from harming him, given that Link's main sources of magic are elemental. Link's lost a good chunk of his abilities."

Franky said, "Don't count him out yet. He's got plenty of tricks."

Link ducked under another swing but was caught by a knee to the stomach. The Hero brought out the Hyrulian Shield to block but was pushed back. Cloud charged again, but Link responded with the stasis rune, but it only held for less than a second.

Cloud shot through the rune, it shattered almost immediately due to the man's incredible strength. Link almost panicked and fired a sword beam, the blast slammed into Cloud, who winced, but powered through the pain and got close. Link's reaction speed allowed him to jump back, but he took a nasty slash across the chest, his green outfit now stained red with blood.

"Oh, that has to hurt," Nami said, seeing her chance of getting more money slipping away.

"Ha!" Zoro said.

"Don't you dare make fun of Nami's plight!" Sanji yelled, flames coming off him.

Link fell to his knees, pain flaring through his chest. Cloud walked forward slowly, raising his sword over his head.

Link, however, managed to fire off the hook shot at a nearby building and dragged himself away. As he did, he used to Sheikah slate to launch a bomb at the man.

The boy rolled across the ground and ran behind a building to hide and get his breath back.

Cloud was pushed back by the explosion but managed to get up. He shook himself to clear the cobwebs and shake loose some dust, but other than that…he was fine. He was starting to get angry though.

Meanwhile, Link had his hand across his chest. He fought through the pain as his brain went through the man's abilities, trying to come up with a plan. He glanced over at the cliffside and saw the trees down below.

Link went through the items in his inventory and came up with a plan. In a flash, he equipped his red mail and the golden gauntlets.

He knocked three bomb arrows and ran out from his hiding place, exploding projectiles hitting Cloud. The SOLDIER glared at Link and charged at him, Link then used the quake medallion to shake the cliff, weakening it, and causing Cloud to stumble. The man then leapt into the air and brought the buster sword down on an overhead swing.

Link brought out the Hylian shield, which struck with a loud clang, the shield and the man beneath it held, but the cliff didn't, the rock cracking before breaking apart.

As Link fell he launched a beam from the magnet rune on the sheikah slate. The beam connected with the buster sword and pulled down hard, Cloud going with it. Link then used Revali's Gale to launch himself upwards and aimed down at Cloud.

As they fell, Cloud was truck by two bomb arrows, several normal arrows, and finally a light arrow. Cloud then crashed into the ground with the rocks falling on top of him. Link then brought out his paraglider and glided to safety. He looked at the rubble behind him and sighed in relief.

"Dang," Usopp said, "That was smart. He used Cloud's strength and weapon against him."

Franky said, "Yeah, gadgets and brains beat brute force every time."

Nami smirked evilly as she saw Zoro was starting to sweat somewhat. It was clear that he had expected Cloud to win.

Chopper said, "I don't think he's out of the woods yet. We haven't heard the KO yet."

Suddenly, the rubble began to shake, and Cloud launched towards Link, dusty injured, but alive.

Link immediately had to block a powerful overhead slash, Braver, and when he tried to counter the three swings of Cloud's Cross-Slash, the master sword was knocked from his hands. Link back flipped away to get some distance between them, but Cloud fired the Blade Beam

Link hopped to the side, avoiding the beam, but it left a burn mark on the Hero of Hyrule's shoulder and arm, making him wince. Link fought down the pain as he brought out his shield to block Cloud's Climbhazzard, Cloud's body pushing him back several feet, leaving a small furrow in the ground. Cloud swung his sword to the side, knocking away the Hylian shield.

Cloud leapt back and started spinning his sword launcing Meteorain. Link responded by putting the roc feather infused Pegasus boots and stated moving as fast as he could, dodging the meteors.

As they stopped, Link took out his bow to fire another arrow, but this time, Cloud was ready and swung hard, unleashing the Finishing Touch. The blast of wind knocked Cloud into the air. The hero brought out his glider, ready to try and fly his way to safety, but was cut off when he Cloud appeared out of nowhere.

"This Ends Now!"

Cloud then unleashed the Omnislash. The sword cut Link at various angles. Link brought out Daruk's Protection to block the attacks, but the shield broke under the strain, and then Link got hit with ten powerful slashes.

Cloud glanced back at his opponent with a smirk.

"Yes!" Zoro yelled out in victory.

"No!" Nami yelled out in despair.

"Don't worry Nami, I'll comfort you," Sanji said with a smile as he approached the girl.

Isom simply smiled and said, "Wait for it."

Suddenly, there was a bright flash of light and what looked like bubbles around Link. He was revived, with all his wounds healed, and he looked pissed.

He dove towards Cloud and grabbed him, punching the SOLDIER with all the strength of a boxer. He then planted both feet on his stomach, equipped the iron boots, and slammed into the ground.

Link then backflipped, putting some distance between him and the injured Cloud. Link used the hookshot to grab the nearby master sword and pulled it to him. Link then charged forward leaping.

Cloud stood up in pain and spun launching fire and lighting with his materia. Link continued to charge, having switched out the iron boots for the Pegasus boots, and used Naryu's Love to become invincible, charging through the elements with not damage.

Link then fired a barrage of energy waves from the master sword, blasting Cloud and knocked him back. Link then called on the heavens for the skyward strike and charged forward. The master sword glowed brightly as Link stabbed it through Cloud's chest in a bright flash of blood.

KO!

Link removed the sword from Cloud's corpse. Then he fell backwards and walked away to retrieve his weapons as Cloud's body was reverted back to Mako.

"Damn it!" Zoro yelled angrily.

Nami laughed as she realized Zoro was in even more debt than before.

Meanwhile, the ones who rooted for Link cheered happily, while Sanji clapped for the fight. Luffy grumbled bitterly about his chosen guy losing.

Brook just clapped for the good fight.

Boomstick said, "Call him a fairy if you want, that little guy is awesome."

Wiz said, "This was probably one of the closest matches we've had so far. Both Cloud and Link had advantages over the other that could be negated by what they had."

Boomstick said, "Cloud had the longer reach with his sword, and was stronger and faster than Link, but the fairy winged shoes and golden gauntlets were capable of closing the gap."

Wiz said, "If you don't believe us, here's the proof."

Wiz brought up two holographic screen, one where Link is travelling in a cave, and another where Cloud was fighting Sephiroth.

Motioning to the Cloud screen Wiz said, "During a battle with Sephiroth, the one-winged angel blocked an attack that cratered the metal around him. Given the size of the cratered, compared to the surface area of Sephiroth's feet, and theorizing a steel composition, I estimate that Cloud can strike with over 1600 tons of force."

Then he motioned to the Link video and said, "In Ocarina of Time, Link used the golden gauntlets to throw a column of granite. Given that granite weighs a hundred and sixty-six pounds per square foot, and comparing it to Link's size, I can estimate that this column weighed over a thousand tons. While they don't increase striking power, Link could defend against his attacks."

"Yeah, gear for the win!" Franky yelled, "That is just super! Maybe I could make something like that to face off against someone."

Usopp said, "Or you could make them for me. You're already strong enough to throw an elephant!"

Robin just smiled.

Boomstick said, "In terms of magic, Link had the wider arsenal, but most of them involved lighting, ice, and fire, which were practically negated by the ribbon and stopped by the Ziedrich. However, Links' defensive magic was more plentiful than Cloud's materia, and they didn't affect him afterwards. Plus, they didn't really defend him from the explosive force of bombs!"

Boomstick then asked, using his whiny nerd voice, "But Wizard, given that the master sword was made to kill evil, wouldn't it have powered down after extensive combat?"

Zoro blinked and said, "Yeah, I remember that. Shouldn't that have happened? He is supposed to be a hero."

Wiz said, "That would be rue, if not for the Jenova cells. Jenova is considered evil, and a monster, Link's sword would have attacked that, and would not have powered down over the course of the battle."

Boomstick said, "Plus, Link is a master in terms of finding his enemies weaknesses and strategizing how to use it. Guess Cloud should have had more on his mind, than just the master sword."

Wiz said, "The winner is Link."

The doors closed.

Next time on death battle…

Dramatic music began to play as the sound of heavy footsteps was heard, walking down a metal hallway.

Everyone was on edge as they prepared to see the next two combatants.

The first was a man with green and black armor with a gold visor, holding a device in his hand. In a flash of light, it extended revealing glowing plasma blade.

"Whoa! Look at that!" Luffy said his eyes turning to stars.

Zoro looked entranced by the energy blade.

The second approached. He wore dark green, silver, black and bronze armor. In his hands, he held a chainsaw, which he revved and brandished menacingly.

Two soldiers…

The two stared each other down.

One mission

They tightened their grips on their weapons.

Fight

The first one charged.

Like

The second one charged.

Hell

They swung their weapons at each other. The screen cut off to see an image of their helmets clashing.

Super Soldier Smackdown: The Master Chief vs Doom Slayer.

"Whoa," those guys looked cool. That armor…I want to see what happens next!" Franky yelled as he waited for the next episode to download, "I want to see what makes them SUPER SOLDIERS!"

Isom said, "Oh, I'm going to enjoy this."

Suddenly, the screen cut to Boomsitck who was standing in the armory.

"Ah, the sword. There is no weapon more iconic. Holding these beautiful pieces of steel just makes you feel powerful. And there is nothing like watching the light fade from your enemy's eyes."

Franky said, "Hey, what is this? What happened to master chief and the doom guy?"

Zoro said, "Hold on, this I got to see."

Sanji rolled his eyes and said, "Of course, you do. It's swords."

For his part, Sanji just ignored him.

Boomstick said, "Anyway, these beautiful works of art come in all shapes and sizes, and I'm counting down my personal top ten. So here we go with Screw Attacks, and Boomsticks Top 10 Swords!"

"Top 10?" Robin asked.

Isom said, "Oh, they do this on occasion. The top tens are basically a list of what they consider the best of the best, the lowest rank is 10 while the top is number 1."

Zoro said, "Oh, now this I got to see."

Number 10: Excalibur

Boomstick pulled back a tarp revealing a beautifully crafted sword currently lodged in a rock.

He said, "Excalibur is one of the most legendary swords of all time and has just as many stories about it. Where it was given to King Arthur by the lady of the lake, or pulled from a stone, it marked his beginning as King. We're even naming things like casinos and food dehydrator's after it."

"What?" Sanji asked, "What the heck is a food dehydrator?"

Isom explained, "It sucks the moisture out of food, enabling it to be stored for long periods of time. Think like drying it out, only much longer."

Sanji nodded.

The gun lover continued, "Anyway, this sword has tons of abilities. It can blind an entire army if it catches the sun's light, unbreakable, and the scabbard can prevent the user from taking a deadly blow or bleeding out. All in all, a badass sword worthy of the legend."

"You might need something like that moss head," Sanji said.

"Oh shut up, curly brow," Zoro responded.

Number 9: The Scissor Blades

Boomsitck said, "The world of Kill La Kill is utterly insane, so there are bound to be some demented weapons."

Shows a clip from Kill La kill. More specifically one of the transformation sequences of the council.

"Did…did they just strip naked?" Nami asked, looking disturbed.

Isom said, "Yeah, I saw one episode of this series and that was enough for me."

He continued, "The weapons I'm talking about are the scissor blades."

He pulled back another tarp, revealing two large blades that looked like on half of a pair of scissors. One was red, one was purple.

He said, "These two things are made of life fibers, parasitic aliens that make people evolved and…wear clothing."

Boomstick actually looked somewhat disturbed at this before shaking his head and said, "Originally a giant pair of scissors made to cut life fibers they were split into two red and purple blades when the guy who invented them got murdered. These two blades are powerful enough when separate. The red one here can grow from pocket size to the gigantic sized decapitation mode, and the purple on can transform into even more blades."

Usopp whistled and said, "Wow…wish we had that back when we fought Oars."

Brook said, "I agree a rain of blades and a giant decapitating one would have been useful against that giant."

Boomstick picked them both up and said, "However, if you want to do real damage, you gotta put them together."

He did so, the purple version turned red and said, "Combined they form the rending scissors which can grow to massive size, big enough split an entire city! But you probably shouldn't run with them."

He then looked at the scissors and said, "You know…I think I see why Wiz only made small replicas."

Wiz, offscreen yelled, "I'm not giving you a city splitting weapon."

Number 8: Masamune

Boomstick pulled back tarp revealing an intricate katana.

Boomstick said, "Japan has officially turned the making of swords into an art form. One of these legendary smiths was masmune. From legend, the swords he made were the sharpest in the land, and could judge their opponents, cutting them if they were evil. In other words, if you murdered someone they deserved it. I pretend my guns do that too."

"I…I don't know what to say to that," Nami said, seeing how Boomsitck apparently justified killing people.

Boomstick said, "Anyway, we still name things Masamune today, including specially made powerful swords, cars that play soccer, and all the samurai anime characters. This sword is no doubt, the most legendary."

Zoro smirked as he said, "Damn right."

Number 7: Dragonslayer

Boomstick said, "Now, the phrase that bigger isn't better follows a lot of things. However, whoever came up with that hasn't seen the disappointed looks on my best friend's Steven's ex-girlfriends."

All the guys winced as they heard that. That had to be a serios blow to their pride, whoever this Steve was.

Boomstick reached for the tarp and said, "Or the dragonslayer from Berserk."

He pulled it away revealing a massive blade.

"Whoa! Now that is a man's sword!" Franky yelled, "I wonder how that would fair against the buster sword?"

Isom answered, "Cloud would win…he's got the bigger sword."

Boomstick said, "This enormous blade was made to kill a dragon, but not human could wield it. I mean look at it. It might as well be a giant hunk of iron! Hell, this thing can even double as a shield! However, Guts showed up, picked up the sword, and has decimating people and demons with it ever since. I mean this thing has slaughtered over a thousand demons and can harm members of the God Hand…basically angels of evil."

"Did he say demons!?" Usopp and Chopper asked, looking horrified at the thought.

Robin said, "I take it that this Berserk is not a nice show?"

Isom answered, "You might like it…them…not so much."

Boomstick said, "But the real beauty lies in the wake of its swing. In the art of murder, Guts is Picasso, Dragonslayer is his brush/can opener, and the guards are cans of unopened paint. One good swing, and soldiers of all sizes are reduced to flying pieces of body. Damn I want this thing."

Boomstic look arounds and reaches for Dragonslayer, only for it to shock him when he tried to pick it up. Angrily he yelled, "Damn it, Wiz!"

Number 6: Skywalker lightsaber

Boomstick said, "The lovechild of ancient weaponry and future technology the lightsaber is one of my favorite weapons of all time. I mean look at this! It just looks cool and makes awesome sounds."

Wiz picked up the model and activated it, causing it to make it ssugnature noise and twirled it around making the signature hum noise.

"Oh that is so cool," Franky said, "I hope we get to see more of those.

Isom said, "Believe me, you will."

Boomstick continued, "These swords can absorb energy, cut through anything, and deflect blaster fire. But if I had to choose one. I'd go with the one wielded by the Skywalker family. Passed down from Anakin to Luke to Rey, this sword has been a part of some of the biggest battles in galactic history. Too bad it won't be doing it again after return of the jedi.

Shows a clip fo the lightsaber being destroyed during the force tug of war with Rey and Kylo Ren.

Boomstick sniffed and said, "Too bad."

Franky said, "Well that sucks."

Zoro said, "It does. Something like shat should have been preserved by the Skywalkers not destroyed in a fight."

Usopp nodded and then a thought occurred to him.

"Wait, during the battle didn't Boomstick mention spots five and four?"

Number 5: The Buster/Fusion Swords

Boomstick said, "When you think big ass swords, the buster sword immediately comes to mind, and why wouldn't it? Six feet long, a foot wide, and nearly indestructible, and using two slots for magic, this thing is awesome."

Franky said, "That it is, but it can't be that great because it got taken down by the master sword."

Zoro grumbled something under his breath.

Boomstick said, "The only way this thing could be better is if it were made up of other swords…oh wait, it can be!"

Boomstick pressed a button the podium and the sword split apart into different swords.

He said, "The fusion sword is a set that can be used together or separately. They can be combined to attack people with. Its final form is nigh indestructible, can cut legendary weapons in two, and can be used for Cloud's strongest limit break: Omnislash version 6. This is one hell of a sword, or six, to fantasize about."

"Wait, how come that wasn't in the battle?" Zoro asked.

Nami said, "It's how they do things and stop being such a sore loser, Zoro."

Sanji said, "Yeah, just get over that you now owe Nami even more money. You should be honored that you owe her so much!"

Number 4: The master Sword.

Boomstick sighed and said, "We all knew that this was going to be on this list. I mean, if I didn't bring up the sword of evil's bane, this wouldn't be a good list. The master sword was forged by a god, is unbreakable, and the only thing capable of killing the evil Ganon/Ganondorf."

Usopp said, "Yeah, we already know how great it is. Just show us something else already."

Boomstick said, "But out of all these awesome things, the most awesome is that it shoots lasers! Lasers! Are there any other swords do we have that can do this!? I mean, sure you can't do it after taking a hit, but still, this sword is awesome and deserves its's spot in my top 10."

Number 3: The Blade of Olympus.

Boomstick dramatically said, "Let me tell you a tale of a sword designed by gods…to kill other gods…and their parents."

Boomstick removed the tarp revealing the golden blade.

Zoro snapped his fingers and said, "I had a feeling this one would show up."

Brook said, "The god killing sword. Of course, it would appear here."

Franky said, "I wonder what other kind of traps Wiz has around that beauty. Wait…I don't think he could copy it's destructive power."

Nami shuddered and said, "I hope not."

The Blade of Olympus is a golden blade of badassery. Imbued with the power of Zeus, this sword can wipe out entire armies and killed almost everything that it has killed…well except Kratos, but it sure as hell left its mark."

Number 2: The Sword of Omens.

Boomstick declared, "Thunder…Thunder…Thunder Cats HOOOOOOOOOLY SHIT what a cool sword!"

Boomstick removed the tarp revealing the sword of omens.

"What was with that introduction?" Nami asked.

Isom explained, "That sword was taken from an old show called Thundercats, where when he summoned his fellow warriors, the leader, Liono, would say that…except the holy shit part."

This was met with nods.

The gun lover said, "The Sword of Omens is wielded by Liono, the leader of the Thundercats. It's powered by the living crystal, the Eye of Thundera, it can do everything. The sword can be a small for convenicen, but can grow like an erection of awesomeness!"

Some of the guys felt weird at the statement while Nami blushed and huffed slightly at the man's words. Robin just quirked an eyebrow slightly at the man's choice of words.

Boomstick began listing on his fingers as he said, "Plus, it's nearly indestructible, can cut through almost anything, can shoot all kinds of energy beams, take that Master Sword, heal things, hold planets together, give a power boost to all the thundercats, and has matched Excalibur! Though, the only reason the sword did that was because it poked it in the eye, and that would hurt anybody."

Everyone said, "True."

Boomstick then said, "But my favorite part is that you can't lose it. If it's gone you can just call for it and it will come to you. Wish they had that for my car keys and the remote control."

Number 1: The Sword of Superman

Boomstick let out a breath and said, "Okay…this one is a bit of a doozy. When the universe was created by the big bang, a piece of sword-shaped matter came out with an all too familiar S-symbol."

Usopp asked, "What is that supposed to be?"

Isom answered, "Superman…you are either going to love him or hate him."

Upon getting confused looks he simply said, "You'll see."

Boomstick pulled away the tarp revealing the sword.

He said, "After flying through the universe for trillions of years, it was eventually found by Superman, who it felt was worthy of using it. However, the sword proved to be incredibly powerful even for the man of steel. So, he tried absorbing it, and discovered it would make him the most powerful being in the universe. However, he changed his mind at the last second and threw it into space. If the man of steel is afraid of a sword. You know that it must be good."

Boomstick then faced the camera and said, "Well, that concludes today's top 10. Keep an eye out for more from or Wiz. Good night."

With that, the episode ended, and everyone looked at each other.

Usopp asked, "What do you mean we would either hate or like superman?"

Isom answered, "No spoilers."

Cut! Okay, that was a little hectic to write. I hope you all enjoyed it. If you can think of a way this can be improved. Hold on.
