By the way if you forgot what the crew looks like or their bounties they're on my profile.

Chapter 27: End of the Living

The Living Tree's were running around on deck trying to keep every thing down from the storm that was tearing at them. It was nearly hailing in the area they were sailing.

" NATURE STOP MAKING HOLES IN MY SHIP!"

" MEL QUIT AND GRAB THAT ROP!" Yelled Elsa as she tried with all her strength to hold onto a rope, as Mac turned into his half bear form and helped.

Meku held onto the end of his staff as Kazuya hung off the end trying to fix a broken rope up top. Siamon was under the boat trying to steer the boat in the right direction.

Endo was fused with the ship, making a dome over Razz, Penny, and Shan. Razz got nailed in the head with an ice ball, Penny was to weak to handle the weather, and Shan twisted her ankle will helping with the sail's.

Meku pulled Kazuya up, Kaz smiled and shook his hand. Meku just nodded his head felling a happiness he hadn't felt sense he was a kid.

" Thanks man, you're a great help," smiled Kaz as he still shook Meku's hand.

" Glad I can be of service with my condition," Meku mumbled

Kaz shook his head " Dude, with this crew you need to relax. Be in your shell in city's and fighting. Around here you can, hang with people who are nice and understand you."

Meku smiled " Thanks"

" Guys, lets meet in the kitchen, the storms letting up!" echoed Endo's voice through out the ship.

Penny floated Razz into room followed by a limping Shan. Mac and Elsa were next, Elsa was fine but Mac was a little battered and bloody. Meku and Kaz were the last one's in.

" Endo out of ship now," mumbled Elsa like a mother to a son.

" Hold on a second!"

After a few minutes, Endo appeared coming out of the table. He smiled then clapped his hands together.

" Okay guys, I talked to Si, and he said he'll check ahead for use, so well know where we are. So let's just rest and fix this ship when the storms done!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Siamon jetted threw the waters, looking for any sign of land. All he saw so far was a gruesome looking ship that looked sort of familiar with a red lobster merman messing with its bottom.

Lifting his head out of the water Siamon scanned around, there was a prison island close and in the direction where there ship was going!

He had to reach the crew quickly!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Endo stretched he arms as he walked around the ship, it had a few holes but nothing Mac couldn't fix. Endo closed his eye's smiling to himself, thinking about his nakama.

At that moment Shan was walking out of the bathroom rapped in a towel after finishing her shower. The two collided and fell over each other, limb's tangled.

The two just laid there with bright red faces starring into each others eye's Then there was a flash. The captain and the doctor both turned there heads to see Penny standing there with a camera.

The cook peeked her head over the camera and gave them a big smile. " Te he! Si's back and he wants to talk to us! BYE!" Penny ran and held the picture above her head,

" ELSA! I HAVE SOMETHING YOU'LL WAAAAANNNNNTTT!!!!"

Endo and Shan looked at each other again, faces turning red as the scrambled up off the floor.

" You g-get dressed I-I'll catch Penny,"

Shan's face was still red but she nodded her head as she ran to her room. Endo turned to where Penny ran.

" Penny! Get back here!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The crew sat around a table waiting for Endo and Shan. Elsa was grinning widely a she looked at the photo Penny gave her, Mac looked over her shoulder with and eyebrow raised.

Meku was sitting in between Razz and Kaz tapping his finger on the table, " Five, four , three, two, one…" he pointed to the door and Endo came storming in.

"Penny give me the picture!"

" Oh this picture!" laughed Penny as she waved paper back and forth

" Yeah!"

" Okay here!" Penny flick him the picture. Endo grabbed it out of the air and looked at it, it was a picture of Penny sticking her tongue out at him.

Endo tried to get Penny again, but Shan soon walked into the room. Siamon then slammed his hands down on the table making everyone jump.

" Guy's we will not be able to finish this race,"

" WHAT WHY!? I want my money!" yelled Elsa, Mac just sighed, and leaned back in his chair, with a giant sweat drop on his head.

" Because Elsa, because of that unexplained hail, and also because weave been heading in the wrong direction tells me that the Eternal Pose is miss guiding us,"

Everyone was silent for a second, when the boat bumped something.

" Vhut vus that?" ask Razz as him and everyone else crowded onto the deck.

It seems the ship was traveling threw shrapnel of a wrecked ship, Endo turned to Siamon quickly.

" Si! Check for survivors!" Siamon nodded his head as he dived into the water.

Waiting a few minutes Siamon surfaced with a giant bag on his bag.

" No survivors, but this was there,"

Placing the bag onto the ground, Penny took a knife and cut a hole in the side letting tons of gold coins fall to the ground.

" Were rich!" squealed Elsa as she ran towards the money. But Mac rapped an arm around her waist and picked her up.

" Melcom Conner put me down!"

" Not now we have guest,"

" What!"

Mac pointed to the horizon to a ship, Endo starred at it " That does not look good,"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Judge slammed his hands onto the counter, with his sunglasses off giving Stein Madro an eyeless gaze.

" Damn it Madro! If you told us we could kill then Plague wouldn't be in this condition!"

Stein just sat their fingers crossed. Low was in the corner watching the scene, Oni and Kiego stood on the other sides of Judge, and Plague sat in a chair covered in bandages. Plague was covered in burns earlier and was fixed up by Oni.

Stein shrugged " Still don't see the problem,"

" Don't see the problem! If we were allowed to kill then, we could have been at full power!" yelled Oni was she yanked off he mask and threw it to the ground.

Her face was beautiful, but there was a giant scar going over her left eye and another going from her right ear across her mouth and to her chin.

Judge held his head, grabbed his glasses and placed them on his face, just as Ryuu busted into the room with a sadistic grin on his face and his right hand touching the blade of the weapon fused to his back.

"Captain the ship you described is on the horizon!" cheered the Guillotine as he jumped up and down.

Stein smiled and uncrossed his legs, standing up. Walking behind Ned's chair Stein grabbed the hands and pushed Ned along with him.

" Come on boy's and girl's lets go meet my grandson!" Stein semi yelled, walking out on deck to be greeted by the rest of the crew.

Oni placed he mask back on, and Plague glared at Stein's back. Kiego was biting one of finger nails as he glanced at Judge.

" So were going to do that huh?"

Judge placed his hat on his head " Yes the time has come,"

The ex priest walked threw the door, Madro I can see the souls of men all over the world, and you lied to me!

---------------------------------------------------------------------

The Living Tree's watched as the eerie ship pulled close to there's. Endo looked on board and his eye's widened.

" Oh shit!"

Stein was standing on the railing looking down at his grandson, with a wicked smile on his face.

" Hello my grandson, your final minute's are now!"

Mac and Elsa transformed into the hybrid forms, Elsa jumped onto her loves shoulder. Siamon eyed Elsa,

" Elsa when did you-"

"Not now Si!"

Stein glanced at his crew " Ashton, Bomu, Tofca you guys sit this out I'll need you three later,"

Oni and Judge glanced at the crew that Stein's grandson put together, and Oni's eye's landed on two of them. Oni pointed her finger at Razz and Kazuya,

" Didn't we kill you two?" asked Oni

Razz's eyes widen slightly and Kaz glared pulling out his two swords

" You two work for Madro!"

" Yeah and it looks like well have to take care of you again," mumbled Oni as she teleported to in front of Kazuya shoving her sword threw his stomach.

Kaz spit up blood as Oni grabbed him by his shirt and threw him into the ocean

"Kazuya!"

" One down," mumbled Stein as he calmly walked aboard.

Razz pulled back the neck of his guitar to shoot, but before he could six gun shots were heard. Ned Low blew the smoke from his revolver from his chair.

Razz fell, bullets in his shoulders and chest, Judge picked up the matriarchies body and threw him in to the sea.

" Two…"

Mac and Elsa both yelled as they watch there long time friend fall into the ocean. They turned toward the ship and let out a roar, Pan let out a tiny yelp with them.

They jumped with a roar their animal instincts taking over. A giant shadow appears above them as Mac felt two giant fists smash into his back, he spit blood head smacking against the railing before falling into the water.

Gavel turned in mid air, grabbed Elsa by the neck and tossing her into the water. Pan the panda dived in after them.

" Four…"

Endo, Siamon, Shan, and Penny all had tears in their eyes as the watched their friends fall. The four charged altogether trying to end this. Meku join in also before he was close lined by Judge.

Meku was to clouded by emotions so he didn't sense the Judge when he appeared. When he fell Meku smacked his head hard against the deck, disorienting him.

Judge pick the other blind man up by the neck and whispered something in his ear before he to tossed a person into the sea.

" Five.." said Madro as he stood face to face with his grandson

Penny brought out her knifes and was about to go crazy before she was blinded by a flash of light. Then something pulled her up by the hair.

" Hello little twerp remember us!" hissed the voice in her ear, Penny froze up.

" I see you remember, yes it is us the men that locked you in a cage! Kie the Ring Master!" Kie laughed to him self as he strangled Penny, making her pass out before tossing her to the dark deaths below.

" Six…"

Ryuu ducked and dodged as Siamon swung his sword, Ryuu was laughing to him self thinking this was the most fun he's had in a while.

The white hair twenty year old sighed to him self, captain order to end this quickly.

Siamon felt a sharp pain in his stomach as he looked down to see one of the blades from Ryuu's weapon lodged into his stomach.

Siamon growled and bit into Ryuu's shoulder, Ryuu screamed and smack the merman away with the weapon on his back.

" Basterd! You bit me!"

Siamon smirked blood running down his face and out of his wounds and mouth. The ex marine merman stumbled then jumped into the ocean where the rest of his friends lie.

Endo and Shan stood back to back as Stein watched from afar, Sarin and her spider Kumo wanted them.

Kumo spit a string of web tying Endo up, the multi colored teen in his ' Demon Tree' form growled as he laid there trying to escape and save Shan.

Sarin glanced at Shan as she watched the doctor charge her swinging her feet with the blades on them.

" I don't even need to use my Devil Fruit ability's on you." Said Sarin ducking under another kick, the Black Widow gave Shan an upper cut to the face nearly breaking her jaw.

" Shan!"

Shan was losing ground, Sarin punched Shan right in the nose. Then ducking low Sarin delivered a powerful kick to Shan's knee shattering it.

"Awww!" gasped Shan as she fell to the ground. Sarin kicked her in the side then rolled her to the railing. Shan gave one last look at Endo.

"Endo-kun…. I love you!" Sarin delivered a blow to the head and then tossed the Living Tree doctor into the ocean.

"SHANNNNNN!!!!!"

Stein stood there and laughed as he walked over to Endo.

" Well boy it seems you lost,"

Endo growled and sprang up out of the web charging Stein. The Dark Death pirate captain smirked as he leaned backward, dodging the attack.

" Boy you're to weak to fight me…..use your anger, that is the only way a person can become stronger by hate!"

Stein then caught one of Endo's spiked arms with one hand, and twisted his grandson's arm behind his back. Pressing his boot on his elbow Stein pressed, breaking the arm.

Madro did the same with the other, then smirked " Your just to weak boy….but I'll give you the proper burial any pirate deserves, burial by sea!"

Stein the tossed his relative into the ocean, and turned to his crew.

" Burn the ship and take all the gold you can, now go!"

His crew ran into the rooms grabbing anything they can find, Stein just watched them and laughed.

CLICK!

Stein sighed and closed his eye's " What are you doing Judge?" ask Madro as he turned around to look down the crossbow pointed at his head.

Judge stood there with the other members of Hanshi behind him.

" I'm going to kill you…"

" No your not you owe me your lives, you're still mine!"

" Your right…..I can't kill you yet." Mumbled Judge as he placed his crossbow back onto his back.

" But not killing you now means we just saved your life so, we are even!" Judge turned his at Oni and smirked. Oni smiled and threw down her mask crushing it under foot.

" Oni get us out of here!" Oni smiled grabbing Kiego and Plague, Judge placed his hand on her shoulder.

" Hanshi before you go, spread the work of what happen here!"

Each member of the Hanshi faces became sad, but Judge nodded his head.

So the news was told to the navy, who posted it in there paper. Family and friends burst into tears. People that met them grew sad. The darkness was starting to take over as the news spread, people that didn't even know them as they looked at the picture of the first victims of the returned Dark Death Pirates.

The Living Tree Pirates are DEAD!
