Hey guys! I'm updating early because I won't have internet from Friday-Sunday; going out of town. Anyways, relish the beginning of the final fights coming in this epic battle! I'm too lazy to list the fights, so read them as you go. Thank you, read, enjoy, and review!

Disclaimer: I don't own Gintama or One Piece

The battlefield was chaos, there was simply no other way to describe it. Gintoki faced his opponent, dejavu flooded him from his days as the Shiroyasha, and like last time- he was finishing off war by facing his comrade. No, his former comrade; he was certain Takasugi renounced himself when he lost his eye. Everything else disappeared as Gintoki and Takasugi circled each other; marines and pirates clashing faded into nothing, but both were confident in their comrades' ability to survive. Raising the blade Mihawk gave him, Gintoki swished the blade out in front of him, as if it were a greeting.

Takasugi unsheathed his sword and did the same. "Once again, you interfere with the inevitable, Shiroyasha."

"No, just trying to stop some mad man from forcing his form of inevitable." Gintoki charged forward, and neither flinched when their swords clashed. "You always have to do this Takasugi…forcing others to feel tragedy because you can't get past your own!"

Swishing his sword, he managed to get Gintoki back a few feet, he then charged and tried an uppercut strike. Gintoki blocked that just easily. "At least I honor the past, and not toss it aside like a frivolous fool."

CLANG!

Takasugi landed several feet away with a glare. Gitnoki didn't lower his sword, but his feet changed slightly in position. "Takasugi…never say I disregard sensei."

"Hn. It amazes me that you can still say that." Takasugi swung his blade.

Bansai vs. Zoro

"About time. I've been wanting to cut some aliens in half for awhile." Zoro got into his standard Senryuu style, and awaited for Bansai to take his stance. "Oi,teme…take your stance; I'm getting impatient."

"Ara…you're Roronora Zoro-san…a pleasure to make your acquaintance." Bansai started. "As I said, wind blowing along with the notes of a grass harmonica; sputtering when a beat is missed though." He strummed his instrument, and took a step forward. "I was hoping to fight a strong sowrodsman here, but sadly Mihawk-sama was not available. I should hope his apprentice would make a decent substitute."

CLANG!

Bansai blocked Zoro's attack with one hand, and swiped at the man.

Zoro frowned at the strings he felt against his body; so that was his game, eh? "So you're a string specialist? Goes with your gimmick I suppose."

"Eh. I prefer listening to life as I experience it, and find all the different tunes and notes absolutely riveting." He raised his sword above the marimo. "Inspiration is all around us, don't you agree Roronora-san?"

SWIPE!

All the string were cut in an instant, and Bansai had to jump back in surprise. He landed several feet away from the Senryuu pirate and took off his headphones; revealing them to be broken. Frowning, he charged forward and clashed with Zoro several times, before landing a slight slash at his bandana, creating a split in the front. The men continued their entranced fight, ignoring their comrades momentarily.

Aokiji vs. Akainu

Aokiji sighed as he observed his old comrade; he hadn't changed much in the few years, just a gotique to make him look even scarier. He stole a glance behind him to make sure Robin was okay against her opponent; she seemed to be fairing well against Tsuru. He was thankful to the Revolutionaries for giving her training.

"You look well, Aokiji." Akainu said.

"Ah. I've been well; bookkeeping has its own rewards as well. You help good people, and don't have to kill a single person for it." Aokiji sighed.

"You're a disgrace Aokiji. You were once one of the three power houses of the Navy, but then you went soft and defected once you couldn't accept defeat." The red man sneered.

"No. I turned away from it, once I saw what my former comrade had become. And by the way…Akainu…" Aokiji breathed in, and allowed his body to be slowly converted into ice. "…you didn't win…I simply chose what was more important and gave you a meaningless title. No title was worth burning that picture."

"Tch. I'm beginning to detest the very idea of love now; first you fell in love with a fugitive, and then Lucinda fell in love with Dragon." Akainu fisted his hand, and allowed lava to flow from his arm.

"Ah. That's right; you almost burnt your nephew to death two years ago, didn't you? How do you think Lucinda would've felt then?" Aokiji sneered.

"It doesn't matter; she renounced any feelings or alliance towards me once she married that bastard, and had that THING!"

PLOW!

Aokiji sent an ice ball against the lava projectile, and stood his ground. "I always wondered why you considered even the children of pirates scum, and even furthered wondered what about your grudge against Garp-san. But now I have the answers to both questions; Lucinda always asked me about other islands and asked me to smuggle in maps and books behind your back. Now it makes sense- she longed to have the very freedom her son now has. She must be very proud."

"SHUT UP!"

SIZZLE!

Ice and lava collided and an eruption of steam occurred between the admirals. The steam suddenly hardened and encased Akainu in a bubble of water around his head. Akainu breathed through his nose, and the water evaporated just as fast. But Aokiji wasn't down, he once again manipulated the steam and cuffed Akainu's hands with the hardened material.

The red man broke the cuffs easily, and punched the ground; melting the ground around him and Aokiji. Akainu melted in the rocks and disappeared.

"ADMIRAL!" Aokiji turned around abruptly, and gasped in horror. About a hundred feet from him, was Robin in AKainu's headlock. It took a moment for Tsuru to regain herself, but she spoke again. "Admiral Akainu, that is my opponent, now release her this instant!"

"Do not forget your ranking Tsuru; you are a Vice Admiral and are subject to treason should I find evidence of it. Now stand down or find another fight, this no longer concerns you." He turned back to Aokiji. "I'm only going to say this once, Aokiji. Stand down or I melt this woman's trachea shut. Make the right choice for her, that is your duty after all."

"Akainu…" Icy smoke was emitting from Aokiji's hands and arms; the air was becoming colder and the sky was darkening. "I'm only going to say this once…release her…you know why you had to cheat last time…don't think I won't do it again."

"Cheat?" Tsuru frowned. "What does he mean, Akainu?"

"Nothing; he made the wrong decision at our fight, and he's about to make the wrong decision now." Akainu tightened his hold on Robin.

"What is he talking about, Aokiji?!" The old woman demanded.

Looking at his daughter, Aokiji clenched his hands and put his hands in the air. "When Akainu and I dueled for the position of Fleet Admiral, I lost on purpose."

Nami vs. Matako

"Robin!" Seeing her comrade in danger, Nami tried to make a run for it.

BANG!

Nami froze when she felt a bullet fly through her hair.

Matako glared harshly at her opponent. "You need to focus on your own fight before worrying about others, tangerine."

"What was that?!" Nami growled.

-Brook & Sanji vs. Donflamingo

Sanji forze mid-kick, which allowed Donflamingo to catch the man's foot with his devil fruit. "Shit!" Sanji cursed.

"YOHOHO!" Brook slashed at the boa-man, and took the blonde's place in getting his hand cut off. As expected, the bones simply reformed to his wrist. Due to his undead status, he was able to fight against the Boa man fairly easily. "Sanji-san! What's wrong?!"

"YOU IDIOT?! ROBIN-CHAN'S IN TROUBLE!" Sanji yelled.

"Eh? Really?" Brook looked his way and gasped. "Quickly then!"

As both men ran forward, both felt their bodies freeze mid-step. "Now, now…don't make me do something nasty. Your crewmates have their own shit to deal with, so deal with your own."

"You bastard…" Sanji growled.

"I'm not a lady, but…I know how to have a good time." Donflamingo couldn't wait for the torture to begin with that Nico Robin.

Chopper, Ussop, & Franky vs. Moriah

"Robin!" Ussop quickly took aim at Akainu, but had to fire at the shadow creature looming behind him. He jumped to get back to back with Chopper and Franky. "Guys! This is bad! Akainu has Robin!"

"What?!" Chopper exclaimed.

"Damn! We need to get over there!" Franky growled.

"That won't do! If I have the Strawhat shadows, they'll let me be a Shichibukai permanently!" Moriah cheered.

Abuto vs. Sougo, Luffy, & Dragon

Luffy gasped as his comrade was taken hostage. Immediately, he dropped his fight with the umbrella man, and ran towards Robin was.

BANG!

"Nothing personal, but I can't let you get to her; it'd be a bad idea." Abuto apologized.

Luffy clenched his fists and slowly turned around to face the man. "Oi…you telling me to abandon my nakama?"

"It's unfortunate, but that's what's it comes down to, yes." Abuto nodded.

POW!

As quick as a flea, Luffy was up in Abuto's face and sent him a punch great enough to split a space ship in half. "I can tolerate being deceived and lead around by strangers, but DON'T EVER tell me to abandon my nakama!"

"That was a good punch, seems that you get angry by the sight of loss; common for young warriors." Abuto commented, rubbing his cheek.

"She served in my army for two years, I owe her and consider her my comrade as well…" Abuto's eyes widened when he felt hands pressed against his back. "…Don't get in our way."

SPIN!

Abuto was sent flying several feet back, due to a tornado being thrusted into his back. The adult Yato groaned and stood up, seeing that his prey was getting away, he raised his umbrella and jumped in front of him. Just as he was about to bring his umbrella down, he found himself clashing with a sword.

CLANG!

Luffy and Dragon stared in shock at the sadistic samurai, who had just blocked the alien's blow.

Sougo glared at them over his shoulder. "Go! You two amateurs are in the way!"

"Hey! Who are you calling amateurs?!" Luffy shouted.

"Luffy-"

Sougo cut Dragon off. "You two are amateurs; this is an adult male Yato, the strongest race in the universe. I've been fighting with a juvenile for several years now, so I've been training up for this moment. To prove myself to my father-in-law, and to prove once and for all, that I'm ready for the promotion to second in command of the Shinsengumi, and become the King of Sadists."

"What are you talking about?!" Luffy shouted.

"Besides…you have better things to do don't you?" Sougo gestured towards Robin. "Go! You're in my way!"

Growling, Dragon patted his son's shoulder and jetted forward. He looked to Sougo in gratitude. "Thank you."

Sougo didn't respond, but when he was sure the two idiots were far enough behind him, he got his sword into a more aggressive stance. "I hear you work with the Harusame."

"Eh. I am the second in command of Admiral Yato Kamui, Yato Abuto." He introduced.

"Listen useless-corpse-san, I could care less of what your name is, you only have one purpose to me." Sougo smirked.

"Oh? And what's that?" Abuto rose a brow.

"My ticket to Baldy's approval." Sougo charged forward, and his blade clashed with that umbrella once again.

"Ah, so you're the little sister's lover." Abuto spoke, catching Sougo's interest. "I first met the brat back in Yoshiwara when Hosen-sama was defeated."

"Huh? You don't say; China didn't mention anything about fighting another Yato." The younger frowned.

"I don't blame her, considering what the fight lead to." He smirked at the nervousness the younger was feeling. "Don't worry, we did nothing indecent in that nature, however she did discover the dormant side of herself that all Yato possess, but due to how she was suppressing it, her reaction was much more extreme than anticipated."

"What are you getting at, old timer?" Sougo was starting to feel his sadism becoming homicidal.

"When Yato's suppress their fighting nature as she did, or don't develop properly though outlet channeling that they learn in combat, they essentially develop a double personality. The weaker side is normally the one you see and interact with everyday; she still has her strength and she still fights, but it doesn't turn to blood as you've no doubt noticed. But once that wild side, the dormant side is released it's the equivalent of having 100 battle ships fire at you. Your lover was so extreme, that she almost killed me and her little glasses friends." Abuto explained.

Sougo couldn't believe what he was hearing; he clutched his katana tightly and started walking forward. "I see…Abuto-san…what did you do to make China become like that?"

"Ah. I had almost killed the glasses boy, she released that side to protect him."

SWIPE! STAB!

In speeds so fast, Abuto felt the sword's motion cut his body and observed his own blood spurt out of his body.

"I see. So you didn't violate China's body…you did something worse…" Sougo held his sword above Abuto's eye. "You violated her soul."

Kamui vs. Kagura & Umibozu

"Hmm…this is an interesting setup isn't it father?" Kamui asked cheerfully. "You and imoto came together to fight against me!"

"Baka-niichan." Kagura growled. "Stick to cutting yourself like a normal hobbyist-emo."

"Hobbyist-emo? That's quite a word." Kamui chuckled.

"It's what you are. You moan and gripe about how life sucks because it didn't turn out the way you wanted, so you run away." Umibozu joined. "That's right, I wished you had chosen cutting to vent your pain and frustration, rather than picking fights or running away from home."

"Yep! And there's only one way to treat this stupid emo-thing of yours!" Kagura cracked her knuckles.

"Oh? What's that?" Kamui smirked.

"Tough love!" Umibozu and Kagura said at the same time. After a tense moment of silence passed-

BAM!

One fist collided with two, and the three Yatos landed in separate corners from each other. Kagura charged forward and landed a punch on Kamui, but he grabbed her hand and tossed her over his shoulder casually. Umibozu grabbed the other arm and threw him into the ground, creating a creature-angel beneath his son, and stomped his foot into his stomach.

Kamui smirked as he felt blood drip form his mouth, and kicked his father's knee-caps in form behind, causing them to lock automatically.

As Umibozu toppled over, and landed on his back; his eyes widened when he felt kamui land his feet on his shoulder blades harshly, and felt a hand choke his neck. He grinned maliciously as he stared in into his father's face. "Just like old times, right father?"

BANG! BANG!

"Papi!" Kagura called as she shot bullets into Kamui's back. IT didn't really hurt him, but it was enough to get him off their father. She ran to her father's side, and stood over him with her umbrella, shooting rapidly at her brother.

CLUTCH!

"I said this to you once already…I have no time for weaklings. But I've decided something since I last saw you." He gripped his sister's neck harsher; liking the way the foam came out of her mouth. "I've decided not to tolerate weakness in general. So I'll simply dispose of it before it breeds."

"So that means you then, huh Kamui?" Umibozu gripped his son's shoulders with his hands so hard, that his plates shattered. Kamui immediately let his hold on Kagura drop, and he slowly slid to the ground. The world was starting to become blurry, the things around him weren't making sense, the only sounds he could make out were the fighting and his weakling sister being comforted by their idiot father.

BADUMP!

Kamui smirked, his blood was hot and his mouth was starting salivate, his natural instincts had finally awoken with the presence of other Yato.

"Easy Kagura, daddy's-" Umibzou stopped himself, and slowly turned around to the rising Kamui. Despite having both his arms shattered, his son looked utterly terrifying.

"P-Papi…Baka-niichan…"

"Yeah…his blood's awoken." Umibozu braced himself and hoped Kagura did the same. This wasn't good.

Takechi Henpeita vs Shinpachi

"Kagura-chan!" Shinpachi tried to run to her, but was blocked by his opponent as well.

"Don't worry…the lovely lady will be waiting in a beautiful coffin when you return to her." Henpeita said. He just hoped to touch the beautiful lady's skin first.

Nobume vs. Vista

Nobume clashed wit the Whitebeard swordsman carefully; she had to admit his style was interesting, but that was the only thing redeeming about this fight. She stopped abruptly, and turned to her lover, sensing a sudden shift in him. Her eyes widened, Kamui's Yato nature had been released.

"We may stop now, if you're worried. My other comrades could use my help." Vista offered, noticing her worry. Marco had his hands full with Kizaru, while Ace was going to join him after glassing Crocodile.

"It's not necessary." Nobume got back into position. "He needs to learn to take care of himself."

"Miss…it's not my business, but may I make a suggestion?" The rose man said carefully; she nodded. "Try to focus on the beauty, not the gore in your life."

Isaburo vs. Hijikata

"A shame, seems my email buddy has gone berserk." Isaburo gestured towards Kamui.

CLANG!

"Worry about your own damn fight, texting-bastard!" Hijikata yelled, clashing swords with him again.

"Honestly, you street commoners have no manners." Isaburo complained.

Kondo vs. Momonga

Kondo may not have had a lot of screen time with Hijikata and Sougo being more popular than him, but he was Captain of the Shinsengumi for a reason, and he was proving his place for this Vice Admiral.

"I understand you know those Odd-Jobs Hooligans?" Momonga huffed.

"Yep! They're good people, aren't they?" Kondo smiled.

CLANG!

"Honestly! Talking to outlaws, how unsightly! And your subordinates! Your Vice-Captain is going against your orders, and that First-Division Captain deliberately interfered with World Government matters! How could you let that behavior pass?!" Momonga hissed.

"Simple. Toshi isn't disobeying me in any way right now; we're fighting for our lives against this overthrow-attempt by the Mimiwarigaumi, and Toshi is simply choosing his fight. As for Sougo, there's no fighting a man in love, I would know personally. I would do anything for the woman I love back home, so I don't fault Sougo for what he did at all. Besides! It was him who tipped us off!" Kondo explained.

"You're too close to your subordinates!" He snarled at Kondo, who blocked it and banged the back of his sword into Momonga's.

CRACKLE!

The almost bald man stared stupidly at his shattered sword. "I'm a goofball of a superior who could easily be taken advantage of by his subordinates, but there's a reason why it hasn't happened before." Kondo pointed his sword at Momonga's neck. "We trust each other…that's all there is to it."

New CP9 vs. old CP9 (Kalifa, Kakku, Jabra, Blueno, Kumadori, Fukuro, and Lucci)

The members of the old Cipher Pole gang stared at their opponents in pity; they were simply children, there was no need to fight them, but it had to be done. Leaving their unconscious opponents, they turned to their leader who held a thoughtful expression on his face.

"What should we do now, Lucci?" Kalifa asked.

"Simple." He eyed the two Spandax up top on the execution platform; Hattori rested his shoulder peacefully. "We take our revenge."

Sengoku vs. Garp

Garp cracked his knuckles as Sengoku started glowing gold. "Come on old friend! Let's have a good ol' spar like we used to!"

"You betrayed the Navy once again Garp! I knew you'd help Red-Haired! I knew you'd come back to rescue your son!" Sengoku accused.

"Why did you even bother denying your true loyalty!" Sengoku demanded.

PUNCH!

The air blew as a golden hand caught the gargantuan fist. "I never denied who I was loyal to Sengoku, I just confused the terms 'loyalty' with 'duty'. Turns out…there's a huge difference."

Review please! Till next time!
