Chapter 10: Ellix vs Silver

We stood for a minute, simply sizing each other up, before Silver spoke, or rather shouted.

"YOU ALL REALLY ARE A BUNCH OF FOOLS!" He yelled. "GOING AGAINST THE WORLD GOVERNMENT AND NOW US!? IDIOTS! ALL OF YOU! WHY WOULD YOU DO SOMETHING SO MORONIC!?"

I just furrowed my brow. "Because you want to attack East Blue, the only home I've ever known...You destroyed Florina and Xiao's village, the only home they've ever known...and you hurt the woman I love...I won't forgive you."

I slammed my palms into the sides of my head. "Daydream!" The familiar rainbow veil and strands returned, and I prepared myself. "Luffy is fighting for his nakama...and I am too!"

I threw my arm back. "Dream Dream Hammer!" My hand morphed into the shape of a hammer and my arm stretched over to Silver, having the same properties as a rubber band, my hammer hand smashed the place he previously stood, as the smartly dressed loud mouth had run on the air beside me to avoid it.

"YOU'VE ONLY MADE YOUR ARM MORE OPEN TO ATTACKS!" He yelled. As he shot a silver claw at me I bunched up my arm until there was only my now normal fist in just half a second. Silver was taken aback by the sudden loss of my limb.

"Dream Dream Tension Shot!" My arm stretched out and punched him in the face, quickly followed by some pumped up energy which tripled the damage, sending him smashing him into a wall. "Dream Dream Hammer!" I morphed my hand and stretched again to hit him and again he dashed around me on air. He dashed through the falling snow towards me as I stretched both my arms above my head.

"Dream Dream..." I waited until the very last second, just as he was about to stab my defenceless body with his claws. "...X Bash!" I brought both my arms crashing across his own chest in a large 'X', knocking him back. "Dream Dream Rope!" My flattened arm turned more spindly and whip like as it wound around my opponents leg. Before he could react I slammed him into the ground and leaped above him, bunching up both my arms.

"Dream Dream...Rapid Fire!" I threw both my fists at him with my built up energy, like Luffy's Gum Gum Gatling, I had specifically imagined it to have a whiplash-like effect, meaning the more I used it the stronger and faster it became. My arms hit more rapidly, until my arms looked liked they'd multiplied, and then continued until it looked like the wind itself was pounding Silver into the ground.

I tired and landed next to the massive smoke cloud I created, panting quickly. When the dust cleared he stood with his now dent-covered claws raised above his head protectively. "YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT WODOS T. ELLIX!" He shouted. He sent a claw at me that I narrowly dodged.

"Dream Dream Hair Whip!" My hair stretched out from my head and lashed at the metal arms, pounding them but doing no damage to it's bearer, so my inanimate weapon returned to its normal length and style. "Dream Dream Claws!" My hands instantly turned into long rainbow claws similar to Silver's. We charged each other with battle crys, our weapons clashing and scraping against each other, both of us cringing at the sound of the screeching metal.

Silver abruptly leapt into the air and stood on it. "SILVER STABBINGS!" He launched his weapons down from the air repeatedly, attempting to skewer me. Thankfully I dodged by rolling away and knocked him down with a quick cut. We slashed continuously, fiery sparks shooting out from each impact, we grabbed each others claws and dug our heels into the ground, pushing against each other while still glaring, eventually we both broke away, skidding against the snow.

"SILVER MISSILES!" The spikes detached themselves and fired at me.

"Dream Dream Shield!" I brought my two claws together as they both formed into a giant multicoloured shield that the projectiles dug themselves into except for my skin. However they still exploded, throwing me back against the wall.

I quickly got up as two claws shot themselves at me. "Dream Dream Chibi!" I shrunk down to a quarter of my usual size, but my head stayed the same, with my reduced surface area I easily dodged the rest of the stabs before returning to normal, luckily my clothes had grown and shrunk with me.

"ARE YOU SCREWING WITH ME!?" Silver roared angrily.

"No way! I'm fighting with dreams! All of them are serious! Dream Dream Swords!" My arms this time transformed into sharp colourful swords. "Dream Dream Mantis Cutter!" I flailed my arms around frantically towards him, clashing and throwing sparks everywhere as he could only be pushed backwards.

"ENOUGH!" He threw off my attack and punched me in the gut, sending me flying back, I stood up and clutched my aching stomach, trying not to hurl.

"Dream Dream Drill!" My arm turned into a drill (something I'd thought of thanks to Musshuru.) and launched it at him, using my arm as the connection. Silver crossed his metal arms to block the spinning weapon, but it still smashed him into the wall. I stared at the hole cautiously, noticing the metal claw shooting out too late as it punched me in the face, making me crash straight through the building behind me and consequently down on top of me.

I threw the wreckage off of me only to find that I couldn't maintain Daydream anymore, as the veil and threads faded. "Aaaarrrggghhh! Damn it all!" I rolled helplessly on the floor, my palms imprinted on my forehead as my brain tried to get out again.

"IT SEEMS YOU LOSE WODOS T. ELLIX! PLEASE FORGIVE ME BUT I HAVE SOMEWHERE ELSE I NEED TO BE!" And with that he began running off into the air with incredible speed.

"Hey!" I yelled, still massaging my throbbing head. "I'm not through with you yet!" I gave chase into the sky with Geppo.

He only seemed to notice me as we ascended higher and higher. "YOU REALLY ARE PERSISTENT AREN'T YOU!? ALLOW ME TO REWARD THAT!" He dug his claws into the rockface we were dashing up, pulling a large chunk out and cutting it up so that multiple rocks fell towards me.

"Soru!" I dashed in between the falling obstacles, still giving chase even when the claws connected with my face yet again. We continued running up the rock until we reached the top, then proceeding to jump off the other edge and free-fall through the rushing wind.

He whipped his long, metal attached arms at me while falling. "Kami-E Slime!" My body flipped and slithered its way around the attacks without contact, "Shigan Dangan!" I shot an air bullet at him with my finger, he spun in midair to avoid it, I tried several times but he just did the same thing.

We both landed with two crashes on a floating forest and began dashing through it, with Silver leaping from tree to tree while I dashed after him on the ground.

"Rankakyu Igama!" The air wave cut through a large portion of trees and most almost crushed him, but he dodged every one, still running on air.

"SILVER STABBINGS!" He turned around and lashed out at me again.

"Geppo!" I kicked off the air to evade the incoming silver claws.

We came out of the forest and dashed into the wind and snow once more. "YOUR TENACIOUSNESS IS GETTING ANNOYING!" He cut up several more floating rocks and threw them at me. Using my speed alone I was able to parkour over them as they fell towards me, dashing to the top of one before somersaulting over another so I could wall jump off of the rest.

"Kami-E!" I made my right arm go limp and began twisting it around, until it was completely twisted, similar to Luffy's Gum Gum Rifle. "Shigan Neji!" I drove my finger into Silver's unsuspecting back, untwisting it at the same time so it acted like a strong, sharp drill. He was shot down into some more floating rocks, where he emerged two seconds later very angrily.

"THAT DOES IT!" He dashed onto a nearby rock and waited, I landed in front of him a few seconds later. "IT'S TIME TO SHOW YOU WHY THIS IS POINTLESS!" He jabbed his real, non-metallic finger into the distance. "TAKE A LOOK!"

I stared at where he was pointing. At first I couldn't see anything, but then I saw two recognisable figures drowning in a suspended block of water, with Shiki hovering over them. "Luffy...Billy..."

Shiki swiped his sword legs, sending loads of yellow slashes into the water, hitting the two prisoners inside and launching them down onto another island with a massive explosion. "LUFFY!"

"YOUR CAPTAIN HAS LOST YET AGAIN WODOS T. ELLIX!" Silver cackled. "DO YOU GIVE UP YET!? TOO LATE! NOT EVEN GROVELLING TO SAVE YOUR LIFE WILL SPARE YOU OR ANY OF YOUR CREWMATES NOW!"

I turned on him with an angry expression. "Luffy hasn't lost yet you baka, he will never lose! Luffy is the man who will be Pirate King! All you've done is make me want to pound you even more!"

"BIG WORDS FROM SUCH A SMALL BOY! VERY WELL THEN! LETS FINISH THIS NOW!" He suddenly ran upwards towards a large group of storm clouds.

"GET BACK HERE!" I shouted after him, dashing into the accumulating weather disaster myself. We met again in the air, him standing on it, me keeping above it with Geppo, staying in the same place like if I was hopping on the spot. There was nothing but black clouds above and beneath us, we were sandwiched between them in the middle of a howling blizzard.

"THIS ENDS HERE AND NOW!"

"Your damn right it does!"

We charged each other with another battle cry, my real fist connecting with his steel one, before we pushed each other back again. "Rankakyu Rasshu!" I spun north-east, south-east, south-west and north west repeatedly, launching more air waves that were either avoided or blocked with silver arms. We charged at each other screaming again and again, punching and slashing and blocking and swiping so fast they were only blurs, breaking away once more we narrowly avoided the long dragon made entirely of lightning shoot up between us. It burst into the clouds covering us and instantly blue lightning bolts began connecting the upper clouds with the lower clouds.

I smiled slightly. 'Way to go Usopp.'

"IS THIS ONE OF YOUR CREWMATES WORK!?" Silver questioned. "SO YOUR TOO WEAK TO FIGHT ME ON YOUR OWN HUH!? YOU NEED THE WEATHERS HELP!?"

"Nope!" I called over the howling of wind and snow and the new crashing of lightning. "Nami once told me...that you can direct the weather, make it, and move it...but you can never truly control it! I'm in as much danger as you!"

"IN THAT CASE I WILL BE THE ONLY ONE TO ESCAPE THIS PLACE ALIVE!" We charged again, every time our punches connected a flash of lightning would appear next to us, almost as if it was enjoying the ferocious battle.

"Shigan Koren Dangan!"

"SILVER NEEDLES!"

I stabbed the air rapidly with my finger as more shiny spikes were shot at me, the two groups of projectiles continued to slam into each other with perfect accuracy, until an explosion knocked both suppliers back.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"

"AHHHHHHHHH!"

We crashed into each other again, a huge lightning bolt striking meer centimeters away from us, as we both fell back and struggled to stay in between our battlefield a large object suddenly rose up from the lower clouds, after they parted it was revealed to be a giant foot.

"WHAT'S THIS!?"

"I told you...It's Luffy!"

"IMPOSSIBLE!"

Another lightning strike came down, this time enveloping Luffy's now giant leg, causing it to spark and jolt as the energy swirled around it.

"Luffy!" I yelled out. "I know you can do it!"

"FOOL!" Suddenly two metal claws clamped around my stomach. "SEEING AS HOW YOU TRUST YOUR CAPTAIN SO MUCH...IT IS ONLY FAIR THAT HE KILLS YOU!"

He then thrusted me onto Luffy's enormous electrified foot, The lightning shot through my body, zapping every bone, blood vessel and organ possible. "ARRRRGGGGGHHHH! YOU!" I grabbed the arms, gritting my teeth from the contact with the spikes and pulled as hard as possible, throwing him onto the body part whilst launching me off of it, spinning like a wheel.

"AHHHHAHHHAHHHAHHHA!" Silver cried in pain.

"Soru Tsuisutā!" I dashed towards him, spinning my whole body until I looked like a mini cyclone, heading on a crash couse for Silver after he bounced off.

Before I could collide with him a bolt of electricity shot down from the sky and pierced right through me. "AAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHH!"

Silver just smirked. "IT SEEMS LIKE THE WEATHER REALLY IS AGAINST YOU! THIS IS THE FINISHING BLOW!"

He shot his right metal claw high up into the sky, and then brought it crashing down onto my charred back, making me cough up blood and getting thrown away.

For a minute I didn't know what was happening, all I could see was grey and white and snow and wind as I plummeted towards the ground, with a burning body and a small trickle of blood running down my face. It was just like the time we got seperated.

And yet, over all the noise and flashes I could still hear a voice, loud and clear. "DO YOU THINK YOU CAN DO TO MY NAKAMA...AND THE SEAS...WHATEVER THE HELL YOU WANT!?"

'Luffy...' I thought. '...I'm not through yet! I'll make that jerk pay for everything he's done! For Luffy! For my nakama! For Florina and Xiao! For Nami!'

I spun around super fast like a sea train wheel in order to reposition myself. "Geppo Bakuhashu!" I stamped down on the air hard, launching me back up into the ominous clouds like a human rocket thanks to a small air explosion. I soon passed through and could see him.

"SIIIIIIIIIIIILVEEEEEEEEEEER!"

He looked at me with huge eyes. "AGAIN!? HOW LONG WILL YOU ALLOW THIS POINTLESS GAME TO GO ON!?" He raised both his claws. "NO MORE!" He aimed both at my incoming shape.

"SILVER LION STRIKE!"

Both claws shot down and stuck themselves in my chest in time with another bolt of lightning, I roared in pain from the hit.

"THIS BED OF THUNDER AND LIGHTNING WILL BE THE LAST PLACE YOU SEE ON YOUR DESCENT TO HELL! ALL YOUR PRECIOUS 'NAKAMA' WILL ONLY ACKNOWLEDGE YOU AS A FOOLISH WEAKLING WHO COULDN'T DO ANYTHING! NOW DIE!

I gritted my teeth and grabbed onto his metal arms, ignoring the pain. "You say I'll die!? That they'll remember me as nothing!?" He glared at me.

"No way in hell! DREAMS WILL NEVER DIE!" I dashed into his body, shattering his metal arms and gauntlets whilst breaking his real arms.

The bone shattering blow caused him to skid back against the air, straight into another lightning bolt. "AHHHRRRGGHAAAAGGAAAAHHH!" He fell to his hands and knees on the wind. I climbed higher and higher up until I was just below the upper cloud level.

"GUM GUM...GIANT THOR..."

Luffy's giant foot began to descend.

"...AXE!"

The attack hit it's opponent and a large floating piece of land with a massive kaboom, uliminating everything in electric blue.

"MASTER SHIKIIIIII!"

"Hey! You're fighting me Silver!"

He glared at me with all of his fury and hatred. "I WILL MAKE ALL OF YOU PAY!"

"No way in hell you will!"

I raised both of my fingers towards the sky. Another bolt crashed down, this time using both my arms as conducting rods, wrapping them both in blue lightning.

"YOU REALLY ARE A MERE FOOL! YOUR ARMS WILL BE DESTROYED!"

I felt the strong stinging sensation very hard, but all I was focusing on was him. "Shut up!" I pulled both of my lighning enforced arms back.

"Luffy...will NEVER let you go to East Blue! And I...will NEVER...let you hurt Nami or anyone else EVER AGAIN!"

I began throwing my arms into thin air, building up speed. "Rokushiki: Himitsu no tekunikku!"

I threw my arms faster and faster until it looked like I was throwing several at once.

"ZEUSU RAITONINGU SHIGAN!"

Suddenly blue lightning bolts shot from my arms and downwards, piercing Silver's body in a single millisecond. With every stab I threw another one, hundreds of electric shots flew down and zapped my opponent into submission, crackling and booming it's mighty power on the defenceless yell as I gave a final battle cry.

"AaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Finally I sent two massive bolts down at once, using up the last of my lightning and sending a charred, unconcious Silver plummeting through the clouds.

I had won.

I managed to keep myself in the air with Geppo for a little bit, but I soon let myself fall.

I fell throught the clouds and down towards the ground, too tired for the moment to move. When suddenly I landed on something soft.

"Huh?"

"Ellix!"

I turned to the little voice to see Luffy in his chibi form, and I found out I was actually on top of Billy. "Luffy! Billy!"

The duck cried happily upon seeing me. "Luffy! Way to go! You beat Shiki!" I said. "I knew you could do it!"

He grinned at me. "Shishishi! Of course I did" He replied in his high pitched voice. "Hey! I saw that loud guy fall through the clouds! Did you beat him?"

I smiled. "Doririririri! Yep!" I then happened to glance behind me. "Hey Luffy! Look!"

After returning to normal size, Luffy held onto his straw hat as we looked at the islands. Now no longer under Shiki's power, they began to fall into the ocean, and we could make out Shiki, Silver, Indigo and that gorilla fall with them.

"We did it." Luffy said with a smile.

"Yeah..."

"Mr Elliiiiiiiiiiix!"

At the cry we both turned to see a familiar figure flying towards us, followed by Xiao and both of their families.

"Florina!" I called out. "You all really can fly!"

She flew beside me. "Mr Ellix! Mr Luffy! You really did it!" It was then she looked at my arms. "Mr Ellix! Your arms!"

I raised an eyebrow and looked at them, my jaw dropping, they were completely burnt and bruised, quite literally a train wreck. Florina began biting her lip. "Does it hurt like my arm?"

"No, no, it's nothing, see?" I waved both my arms, biting down hard on my tongue as a large amount of pain shot through both of them.

Xiao, Niko, and their mums also flew up to us. "Florina! I told you it's not safe!" Florina's mother told her angrily.

"You too Xiao!" Xiao's mum also said.

"Sorry mum." The two spoke together.

"Sorry your homes ruined now." I sighed, looking at the falling rocks.

"It was ruined when the animals charged through." Florina's mum said. "Thank you for stopping Shiki."

"No problem!" Luffy said.

"Mr Ellix! Mr Luffy! We're going on an adventure too! We're gonna find somewhere else!" Florina happily exclaimed.

"That's great!" I said.

"Yeah Flori! You get to go on an adventure with your family!" Luffy laughed.

"Me too!" Xiao spoke up.

"Yep! It's gonna be so cool!" Niko said as well.

Florina bit her lip and started crying again, then abruptly hugged me, I didn't flinch from the action, I had expected it. "So...this is goodbye Mr Ellix...Mr Luffy." She whispered sadly.

"Nope!" I bluntly proclaimed.

She looked at me with wide glassy eyes. "Huh?"

"Not goodbye! We're gonna sail to the end of the New World and back again! So we're bound to see you again! So see you soon!"

She looked at me with huge eyes before crying again. "Y-Yep...see you again Mr Ellix! Thank you so so much!"

"Me as well?" Xiao asked.

"Yep!" Luffy said, Billy agreeing with him with a happy quack.

They all began flying away from us. "Thank you! Say thank you to your friends as well!" Florina's mum called out.

"Tell your friend that I'm sorry! And that I hope you all do well!" Xiao's mum yelled.

"Bye-bye for now!" Niko called.

"See you soon!" Florina and Xiao shouted.

"See you soon!" Me and Luffy shouted back.

And with that the two families flew off, out towards the rising golden sun...together.
