Fall, Iron Golem!
The Master Plan!
"Nice one!" shouted Mikoto," way to show him up!" Zesiro whacked him upside the head.
"That's our crewmate or did you forget?" asked Zesiro. Zesiro sighed, with a captain like this who needed enemies?
"Zesiro!" shouted Enma," you can kill Mikoto after we calmed Hiro-Shu down." The crew returned their attention to Hiro-Shu. Hiro-Shu was standing back up, Sage's attack only barely fazing him. Once Hiro-Shu was back on his feet he lifted one of his leg's up and back down crushing the ground directly beneath it. Zesiro gritted his teeth.
"Ballad Melodic Lance!" shouted Ridley as he played more on his guitar. The sound waves became heavily compressed into a single sphere of sound and flew through the sky slamming into Hiro-Shu. Hiro-Shu's hand went up and covered his ear. He brought his foot back up and attempted to smash Ridley.
Zesiro ran underneath it and brought his two swords up. Hiro-Shu's foot slammed onto Zesiro's blade, pushing Zesiro deeper into the dirt. "Get going, Ridley!" Zesiro grunted, barely holding up under the pressure of Hiro-Shu's body.
"Right," said Ridley as he bolted out from underneath the giant foot.
"Hone Spear!" shouted Enma as he hefted a large bone spear through the air. The spear slammed into Hiro-Shu's chest and stuck fast. "Zesiro! Get out of there!"
"Don't have to tell me twice," said Zesiro as he gave one of final push causing Hiro-Shu to falter. He jumped out of the hole he was in and back onto the solid land. He was exhausted. He just wasn't prepared to fend off against the heavy weight.
Mikoto morphed into his full beast form and charged off at Hiro-Shu. He grabbed onto Hiro-Shu's leg and began to run up it with increased speed and determination. He got up to his knee cap and began to claw and bite away at it to loosen it. Hiro-Shu swatted him down to the ground.
"Damn," said Mikoto, "I thought his knees would have less iron on them then the rest of his body does to allow him to move easier, but apparently its still super thick there."
"Don't stop!" shouted Ridley, "if we can't do any real damage to him, he'll just have to die the death of a thousand paper cuts." He sped up his playing trying to cause more damage to Hiro-Shu, but he just seemed impervious to the noise.
"Love your resolve on not killing him," said Zesiro as he ran forward and made a wide X mark with his swords across Hiro-Shu's chest. Zesiro landed on the other side of Hiro-Shu, upset that this attack did next to nothing on the heavy iron body.
Mikoto jumped onto Zesiro's shoulders and then jumped off of there and launched another slicing attack onto Hiro-Shu's heavy iron body. Hiro-Shu's attention turned him as he brought his hand down in a devastating chopping motion that destroyed the ground. The air generated from the chop brought Mikoto down to the ground and forced the air in his lungs to come out. He stood there gasping for air as Hiro-Shu brought his foot up.
"Hey! Hold it," shouted Sage, "You can't kill the captain!" She increased the pressure beneath Hiro-Shu's other foot. The pressure built up and exploded, lifting Hiro-Shu's foot into the air and sent him careening down to the ground. He caught himself inches above the rubble of the castle and lifted his body back into the air. His attention now turned to Sage. He fired a single punch.
"Skillet!" shouted Ridley as he strummed on his guitar. The vibrations created as the noise shot through the air formed a powerful wall in front of Hiro-Shu's punch, nearly stopping it in its track. Sage took this moment's rest to quickly run to a much safer location away from Hiro-Shu.
"Any more bright ideas guys?" asked Sage from behind the front lines. Her powers wouldn't work all that well from the distance she was at, and she wasn't in the mood to try and get any closer to Hiro-Shu at this point. His last punch would've decimated her if Ridley had blocked it with his sound.
"Sorry," said Ridley, "but I'm afraid I'm out. I always think better when I am drunk and since 'someone' won't let me have alcohol anymore." Ridley launched another glare at Sage. Sage simply ignored him.
Enma remained quiet for a moment and then spoke, "do you know how people used to do metal working?"
"They use pickaxes and flamethrowers, right?" said Mikoto from his spot on the ground readying to charge as soon as a viable plan was made.
"Close," said Enma, "they use a special tool called a swage. A swage is a sharp tool that is held against the work and then repetitively struck with a hammer to break off pieces of metal and cause dents."
Mikoto thought for a second, "the information is helpful, but I don't recall any metal workers living on the island. I don't think there is anybody who we can borrow a swage from."
Enma chuckled, "we don't need an actual swage a makeshift one will do. Say a long bone spear jammed into his chest would work just as well."
Mikoto glanced up and noticed what Enma was talking about. During one of Enma's last hits he landed a single blow in the center of Hiro-Shu's chest. If they struck it hard enough they probably could push it in deeper to deal an excess of damage. "Enma, can you do another one of those centipede things. I'm going to need a ladder."
"On it," said Enma as more ribcages sprang from his body to form another centipede. Soon it was long enough to reach Hiro-Shu's chest. "Zesiro, Ridley, Sage, distract him for us."
Zesiro twisted his swords around, "Sure, give us the hard job." He jumped into the air, "let's go! Archerfish Edge!" He spun in a circle in midair releasing a clean swipe that soared through the air and into Hiro-Shu's arm. Again no real damage, but enough to attract his attention.
Hiro-Shu spun around and slammed his fist into the ground near Hiro-Shu's body. Sage approached the fist, but kept as much distance between it as possible. She created a large amount of pressure within the iron-encased fist. Hiro-Shu roared back as the pressure became so grand it started to cause it to swell within the iron armor. Only problem was the iron armor didn't budge to give it the room to swell and caused massive damage.
"Nature's…" began Mikoto, in his beast form, as he dashed up Enma's bone centipede staircase and towards Hiro-Shu's massive body, "RAMPAGE!" Mikoto jumped into the air using his beast form's superior leg muscles, then he quickly morphed into his hybrid form and punched the Hone Spear jutting out of Hiro-Shu's chest deeper into his body. Mikoto felt the bone give way and sink deeper into his chest. Mikoto landed back on the ground, he quickly jumped back to avoid a retaliatory strike from Hiro-Shu.
"Crap," said Mikoto as he glanced up at the Hone Spear as blood started to spill from the puncture wound, "I sent that spear of yours into his body and he isn't even being slowed. He's still coming at us with all the strength as before."
"Then push it in deeper!" shouted Enma as he started to construct another skeletal centipede. Hiro-Shu launched a fist in his direction this time. Enma slammed the newly constructed centipede into the ground and propelled himself into the air above Hiro-Shu's punch.
Zesiro jumped onto Hiro-Shu's arm. He pushed his two swords into the golem's arm and began to run up his arm and to his shoulder. His swords dragging across the iron arm made sparks fly. He twisted around at the last second and slammed his two heated swords simultaneously into Hiro-Shu's face. Hiro-Shu stumbled back from the force, but was able to quickly come back by grabbing Zesiro's body tight within his grasp.
Zesiro grunted as he felt Hiro-Shu's grip tighten on his body. He tried to bring his two arms forth and escape, but Hiro-Shu's overwhelming strength at this point made it impossible. Hiro-Shu reached back and then flung his arm forward tossing Zesiro clear over the island.
"He's not going to be in a good mood when he lands," said Ridley watching Zesiro's flight pattern as he flew over the island. Ridley turned his attention back to Hiro-Shu when a cannon went off. A large bombshell slammed into Hiro-Shu's body sending him falling to the ground.
(-Next to one the island's defensive cannons-)
"I think that was Dai Mungi's signal!" shouted one of the three men stationed at the cannon. "Load the cannon hurry up! We don't want to be caught slacking off or he might execute us for doing so."
The other two men quickly began to roll a cannonball, the size of a human over. They loaded it into an equally large cannon and covered their ears. The first man produced a match and struck it against the cannon. He then lit the fuse.
(-With Hiro-Shu-)
A second cannon fire went off. Then a third. And finally a fourth. Each cannon ball clearly hit their mark straight into Hiro-Shu body causing him to falter closer to the ground. His heavy iron armor growing dents in it as the battle raged on, but he showed no signs of fatigue. He lifted his body back into the air and headed towards one of the cannons that were firing on him.
"Crap!" shouted Enma, "what are we going to do? He's starting to head through the village!" The cannons really made him worry. If they continued to hammer him with this same strength, they may break his armor and then hit him.
"What options do we got, he's our nakama we are supposed to protect him," replied Sage bracing herself against her own knee.
"Protect him?" said Mikoto in disbelief, "those cannons are barely harming him! I'm more worried about the village! It'll be torn to shreds if Hiro-Shu marches through there! We need to stop him!" He was already starting to breathe heavy he's been running around and landing numerous blows on Zesiro and so far not a single one had shown a scratch.
"Then quit talking," shouted Ridley as he began to rush past the trio and towards Hiro-Shu, "we need to hit him hard before he causes any more damage." Ridley was about to get within attacking distance when a masked figure appeared on a rooftop in front of Hiro-Shu. "Shit."
"Hey!" shouted Mikoto as he morphed into his beast form and sped off, "get off of the damn roof! You will die if you stand there!" he wasn't fast enough to get there and pull him off the roof.
"Attack Sigil…" the figure jumped into the air his cloak swooshing around him. He brought both of his hands forward in front of him and formed a circle using his forefingers and pinky fingers.
"Oh! No!" shouted Mikoto, "he's going to shoot Hiro-Shu with a laser beam!"
"Let's hope he doesn't kill him with it," said Enma, doubting the fact that it was a laser beam, but lacked any other ideas.
"Unconscious," finished the figure as he landed gracefully on the ground besides Hiro-Shu's foot. Hiro-Shu's entire body shuddered to a halt. His body went limp and began to shrink. His entire body collided to the ground. His body continued to shrink until it was its original size.
The crew gasped and gathered around Hiro-Shu. Enma pressed his head against Hiro-Shu's blood ridden chest. "Is he alive, still?" asked Sage.
"You better not have killed him!" shouted Mikoto, "he's my nakama!" He could've sworn he heard the figure chuckle at that. He gripped the figure's collar and lifted him into the air. His eyes glowing with anger.
"It's okay, Mikoto," said Enma, "he's just knocked out." Enma stared at the figure. He didn't like this man. He showed up out of nowhere, near the end of the fight, and used a mysterious power to knock out his crewmate. Not to mention the mask just made this man untrustworthy.
The man smiled. "I have a proposition for the Infinity Pirates."
The Proposition!
Head for the Grand Line!
Yeah! The fight against Hiro-Shu is now officially over. The fight ended due to a mysterious figure using a mysterious technique. Then he has a proposition for the Infinity Pirates can things get any more suspenseful? YES! And I will do everything in my power to make it so! Let's have fun with it. But for those of you who actually did notice (and care) Zesiro is okay.
Also, for those of you who remain blissfully ignorant I have started two new stories (this one will continue, no worries). One is a One Piece Fanfic called, The Iron Hammer of Justice, the other is An Unsound Body, A Soul Eater Fanfic.
P.S. I also have an avatar now! It is hand-drawn by me! No, I have no idea what it is SO DON'T ASK!
