"BARTHOLOMEW KUMA!" they all shouted as one of the pirate warlords, Bartholomew Kuma, stepped out from the smoke, bible in his hand.

The Nikyu Nikyu no Mi vs. the New Straw-Hats!

"What is that?" shouted Ed, looking back at the smoke. Inuyasha covered his face as smoke and rubble shot past him as Kuma stood up. Al and Ed were hunched over, their hands over their heads, Ed peering out to gaze upon Bartholomew Kuma. He was an enormous man, standing 22 feet and 6 inches tall The hat he wore featured a pair of rounded ears, and, along with the fabric of his pants, was covered in brown spots. His jacket contained a large white design reminiscent of a target cross-hair. There were also several paw prints lining the bottom hem of his coat. Another feature was a long protruding chin, and his eyes, looking like shades. Ed tansmutated his right arm into a sword and crouched down.

"Who is this guy?" he shouted to Luffy, as Kuma looked his way. Kuma walked forward, each step shaking the ground, his glasses glinting in the sunlight.

"He is a bad guy!" Luffy shouted and shot his arm back, Kuma fixated upon Ed, getting closer and closer.

"Gomu-Gomu-no.." he started and squinted his eye, everyone but his friends jumped in surprise.

"Pistorou!" he roared and thrust his fist at Kuma and hit the side of his head. The air pulsed and the ground shook as Kuma came to a stand still. He looked to his left, looking at Luffy and targeted him.

"Monkey D. Luffy…" he stated, turning towards Luffy now, slowly removing his gloves. Zoro shot forward to attack Kuma, but he vanished and Zoro crashed into the ground.

"Shit!" shouted Zoro, taking his swords out again. Kuma appeared behind Zoro and thrust his arm down, but Al kicked his hand away. Al's armor clashed with the hand, sparks flying around. Ed ran forward, before leaping in the air and slashing down at Kuma's arm, sparks raining down, before the two were shot away by Kuma's Pad-Ho. The two crashed down smoke rising from their bodies as they looked back where the paw prints hit. They slowly got up as another guy appeared on top of a building, a vice admiral cape on his back. Vash aimed his gun and blasted Kuma in the face, and the explosion engulfed Kumas' head but did nothing more but causing him to stagger back. Naruto, Luffy, Vash, Inuyasha, and Al all ran forward, with Goku in the air, and leapt at Kuma, each readying their attack.

"Gomu-Gomu-No- GATARINGU!"

"Backslash Wave!"

"KamehameHA!"

Ed turned his arm into a large drill and shot at Kuma, as Vash took his Cross-Gun and loaded it. The attacks hit Kuma's stomach and they continuously attacked, sparks flying. Kuma skidding back, his face scrunching up in pain before the attacks threw him into the air. Rock Lee met him and axe kicked him into the ground, as the man leapt, off the building and landed in front of Kuma. He shook his head and looked beside him as Zoro and Sanji shot towards him. Kuma smashed into the ground, dust shooting past the Vice Admiral and sent a tower of dust and smoke into the air. The Vice Admiral shot out, one leg crouched to his chest, the other one pointing towards Kuma as he spread his arms. He snarled and spun, his cape fluttering as formed a line with his legs, one opposite the other and spun again.

"Neeru Kick( Kidney )!" Shouted the vice admiral and kicked both Zoro and Sanji in the side, sending them crashing into buildings. Luffy placed his hands on his knees, and pumped his legs, and steam began to gush from his veins.

"Gear Secondo!" he said, and looked around. Kuma appeared behind Luffy, and Vash fired his gun and it knocked Kuma back into a building. The building crumbled and the rubble rolled around and clattered as Kuma got up, brushing some dust off his shoulder before looking up. As Vash reloaded his gun, he was hit by a semi-transparent paw into a tree. It crashed down, wood splintering everywhere, and Inuyasha and Sango charged forward to attack. Zoro placed one of his swords in his mouth, and his other swords in his left and right hands.

"San-Zen-Sekai(Third Millennium World)!" He roared, and with sword in mouth, Zoro flipped his other two swords in front of him like a windmill, then he charged at Kuma, trying to cut him. He finished with his left hand in front, and his right hand behind him, and the ground was torn up as a result, a light blue energy rising from the attack.

"Damn it!" he said, his sword still in his mouth. Kuma had moved out of the way, and turned to face Zoro.

"What is that thing?" Inuyasha shouted, as it opened its' mouth, a yellow ball started to form, yellow particles slowly shooting into the ball as it grew larger, his eye blinking red.

"Franky Boxing!" shouted Franky, and he began to punch Kuma in the chest rapidly, and it caused Kuma to skid back with every three punches. Kuma was about to swipe at him with his hand, when Inuyasha leapt up and whipped his sword back and slashed it forward, then backwards again screaming. "Backslash wave!".

The attack hit Kuma's back and sent hi staggering forward. The ball in his mouth fired and hit a tree. As he staggered forward towards the tree the ball had hit, it exploded, throwing him back as the tree exploded. The explosion tore a good chunk of the area apart as the light shone. Franky, who had positioned himself behind Kuma, drank two bottles of 1.5 liters of cola. He made a 'mmmmmmmrrrrr" sound as he put his forearms together. As he did, he grasped the long end of the pipe with his left thumb and pinky and aimed at Kuma. He began gathering air in his forearms, which expanded to an unnatural size, before unleashing a fantastic blast of air.

"Coup de Vent!" he shouted as the air lifted Kuma off his feet and spun him around. While spinning, Kuma brought one knee to his chest, and brought one arm back. He twisted his body slightly to the right, and raised his arm to make it parallel with his shoulder.

"Pad Ho." he said, and, almost in slow motion, he brought his right arm down upon Al and Ed and shot a semi-transparent Paw at the ground and it threw Ed, Al, Vash, and Kagome in the air and crashing down.

"What kind of power is that?" shouted Vash, as Kagome began to fire at Kuma. Kuma looked back, the arrows shattering on his back, purple shards and sparks flying around. She brought one arrow back as far as she could and let it go, the arrow spinning very fast as it shot through his arm and he disappeared and reappeared behind her.

"If you could go anywhere for vacation…" said Kuma in his monotone voice. She looked back, his arm brought back.

"Kagome!" shouted Inuyasha, rushing forward.

"Where would you go?" Kuma finished and threw his hand at her, as she fired another arrow and missed.

"Bloop!" Kagome had vanished, and Inuyasha snarled and roared, shooting into the air, the ground breaking into large pieces.

"You bastard!" shouted Inuyasha, and he stabbed the sword in Kumas' open chest wound. Electricity shot from it and Kuma's head shot up and light blue electric smoke shot out. He balled his hand into a fist and threw it at Inuyasha and punched him off. Inuyasha rolled into a building, smashing through one wall. He staggered up and looked as the building collapsed on him. Kuma stepped forward, his armor torn in a few spots as he walked towards Ed. The Vice Admiral continued to clash with Zoro and Sanji, kicking and punching at them as they moved backwards. Al shot towards Kuma and spun a bit before arching his back, his hands in a conjoined fist. Kuma turned his head and swiped his hand at Al.

"Bloop!" and Al had disappeared, Kuma hunched over, before looking up at Al who was in shock.

"AL!" Shouted Ed, and Kuma faced him as Edward charged forward. Kuma peered at him and brought his arm back to strike.

"Everyone! Run! RUN AWAY!" shouted Luffy, as he threw a punch at Kuma, missing as Kuma vanished resulting in him punching a ruined building. He brought back his arm and Kuma appeared behind him. Luffy turned quickly as Kuma shot his arm at him, but Piccolo appeared and shot a Ki ball at Kuma. The ball hit Kumas palm and shot away, hitting Goku. Piccolo snarled and he rose two fingers as they had a ball form around them.

"Special Beam…" he muttered aiming at Kuma as he shot at him.

"Cano-"

"Bloop" Kuma got to him before he finished his attack. Krillen, who was throwing Ki and Destructo Disks at Kuma, shot forward, still attacking. Kuma looked at him and swiped his hand around, deflecting all the Ki and Destructo disks into the ground and buildings.

"Destructo!" roared Krillen, appearing above Kuma, as Kuma slowly looked up, rising his hand.

"Disk!" Screamed Krillen and threw his arm down, the disk hitting Kumas palm. With ease, Kuma deflected it back at Krillen and threw his arm at him and with that, Krillen was gone. Kuma stood up straight and looked around, seeing everyone in horror, fear and anger. He walked forward towards Goten and Trunks, but Vegeta and Goku appeared in front of him. Both of them charged an attack; Goku charged his Kamehameha and Vegeta a Final Flash. The ground shook as they charged their attacks, rocks slowly floating as they growled.

"Kame…Hame…" Goku growled, the light blue ball in his hands growing, and spinning rapidly as Kuma took another step forward.

"Final…" muttered Vegeta, his hands glowing bright yellow, electricity licking is body and the ground as he slowly put his hands together, his palms facing Kuma.

"HA!"

"FLASH!" the two roared and their attacks shot at Kuma, and he vanished, the two attacks soaring through the air and hitting a large building, blowing it up. Large chunks of stone rained down as black smoke rose from the remains of the building.

"Where did he-" Vegeta started and he saw Kuma and shot at him, spinning wildly before extending a leg. The Vice admiral shot up and kicked VEgetas leg, knocking him off course. The Vice Admiral winced, his leg making an awful sickening crack as he shattered the bone when he kicked Vegeta. He flew into the air and crashed down in a crater as Zoro shot at him.

"Persistent!" he snarled and spun up, a sphere of dirt around him. He got himself up right and kicked Zoro, the sphere bursting, dirt shooting out. Sanji flipped in and kicked the Vice Admiral's back and sent him into a tree.

Kuma turned around to get Vegeta, but Trunks was in his way, his blade in hand.

"Trunks!" shouted Goten, running towards Kuma.

"Stop! Run away Goten!" shouted Gohan and he shot forward, his arm outstretched.

"Goten!" he shouted, but was too late. Goten vanished, Kuma looking at Gohan.

"G-Goten!" roared Gohan and he punched Kuma in the face, sending him crashing into the ground and towards the Vice-Admiral. The people watching began to run for cover as Kuma got closer to them as well, but the Vice Admiral punched Kuma in the back head and sent him into the air.

"Damn it, Kuma! You are causing too much damage!" he roared and Kuma looked down, as Gohan shot up with Pan. Kuma shot down, throwing his left hand at Pan, his right at Gohan, making them disappear, as he landed. His arms formed an 'X' and he uncrossed them as Vegeta dashed towards him. Kuma stood up again and slammed his hand down, hitting Vegeta. Meryl and Milly were shooting at him,

Bloop!

Luffy screamed at everyone to run as Kuma walked forward towards him. They all ran, with Luffy, Usopp, and Vash slowly retreating, still attacking him. The three ran away and Kuma vanished and Miroku leapt behind them.

"Miroku!" screamed Sango, as he began to take off the cloth around his hand and like that, he was gone with a "bloop". Everyone ran to the ship, Kuma and the Vice Admiral hot on their trail. Zoro and Sanji sprinted as fast as they could, being the last two to get on, everyone shooting and throwing weapons at the advancing enemy. As soon as Zoro and Sanji got on Franky pulled the Coup-De-Burst lever and the ship shook.

"Let's get out of here!" shouted Franky, and the ship rocketed into the air, the water crashing on the beach and smashing into the left over supplies. Kuma and the Vice Admiral slowed to a stop and watched as the Thousand Sunny disappeared. The Vice-Admiral sighed and crossed his arms, his black hair swaying in the wind, looking back on the wreckage as people watched and gasped. The man peered around and sighed once more, Kuma putting his gloves back on.

"C-can that really be…"

"It is…"

"Mission Failed... We shall meet again, Monkey D. Luffy." Kuma said in his monotone voice and walked away, with the man limping a bit faster than him as they headed to the small ship that they traveled on.

The Thousand Sunny crashed down in the ocean and the water sprayed everywhere. Sango was bawling with Shippo and Inuyasha over their lost friends. Goku and the remaining Z fighters too were in tears. Ed was crying, sitting in the shade of the tree, bawling as Chopper tended to his wounds. Vash was crying too, seeing everyone's friends and family vanished, and knowing no one had the power to stop it. Nami went to the crow's nest and buried her face into her arms looking out on the sea, tears in her eyes. Sanji went to the kitchen and lit a cigarette, leaning against the cupboards. He puffed out some smoke and put his hands in his pockets before looking up at the ceiling. Robin went to the library and got a book, sat down in a chair, before burying her face in her hands. Chopper went around, taking care of everyone's' wounds, wrapping them up, stitching them if needed. When he was done he waddled to the sick bay and cried on the bed. Brook walked down to the Aquarium bar and sat on the bench as Franky followed him. Franky sat down and crossed his legs and arms, looking down. Luffy sat down on the front of the ship and covered his face with his hat.

The ship glided on the ocean, as the disgruntled crew faced heavy losses. Sanji walked out, carrying a tray of coffee. The new friends were wrapped in blankets and Sanji went to them and gave them the coffee. They accepted it and drank it slowly. Luffy was standing at the front of the ship, his hat covering his face. Sanji walked over to him to offer him some grog but Luffy declined it and balled his hands into a fist. Sanji looked at him, and Luffys' face was full of anger and sadness. He stepped back and walked to the kitchen, flicking some ashes to the ground. Storm clouds began to gather, and Nami brought everyone below the deck. She looked out and saw Luffy, still sitting in the same spot.

"Luffy. Come on inside it is goin-"

"Go away." he said, clenching his fists. Thunder clapped and shook the boat, as it sailed. She watched him as the rain began to pour.

"Oi, Nami~swan! Where are yo-" shouted Sanji, and he saw her standing at the door way. He walked beside her and looked out to see Luffy.

"He has been in the same spot for three hours…" she said, sighing. The two nodded and walked in, as the rain began to come down harder. Luffy stood out in the rain, drenched to the bone, and shaking. He looked up, the rain hitting his face, at the sky, the moon peeking out slightly. He sighed and walked in, closing the door behind him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Marine Ford~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kuma and the Vice Admiral walked in, their boots clicking as they stepped onto the cement. The Vice Admiral continued to limp beside the towering behemoth of a man as he gritted his teeth, knowing he was putting way WAY too much pressure on a bone, he was sure was a fine powder by now.

"Good evening Vice-Admiral!" shouted some marines, saluting him as he walked by.

"Good evening…" he replied and walked on by, passing Coby, accidentally knocking into him. Coby fell to the ground and the man stopped. He looked down and Coby bowed to him. Coby was a young Marine who was dressed in a white marine jacket with a blue scarf. His pants were similar to his jacket. He had short pink hair, that was long enough to touch the back of his neck, but short enough to be considered short hair. He had goggles on his head with a yellow bandanna with orange brown cogs all over it.

"S-sorry sir!" he shouted, and the Vice Admiral put his hand out for Coby to grab.

"No son, it's me who should be sorry, I bumped into you. I apologize." he said, smiling. Coby stood up and walked with him, as the man talked and held his leg.

"Vice Admiral Mori!" came a males voice and the man stopped. He turned his head, his black hair whipping behind him, his eyes half lidded, as Songeku appeared with Garp.

"Yes… Fleet Commander?" he replied dully, not turning his head more than it was.

"You have a new mission…" the Vice Admiral sighed and looked at the sky.

"It's always a mission against pirates... isn't it...?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Thousand Sunny~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Franky stood on the beach, a few feet from Luffy. Luffy cracked his knuckles and Franky cracked his. The two crouched down and Franky leapt forward and threw his right arm back.

"Strong Right!" he shouted and punched Luffy in the cheek, sending him across the sand. Franky dashed after Luffy as he got up both of them shooting their arms back. Luffy twisted his arm as he shot it back and growled, both their fists shooting towards the other.

"Gomu-Gomu-no Raifuru!" he screamed and smashed his fist in the square of Frankys chest. His arm began to un-wind itself and shot Franky spiraling into a tree. Goku appeared in front of him and threw a punch at him. Luffy ducked and punched Goku in the stomach and sent him flying. The two began to fight, while Trunks and Zoro dueled, Sparks flying as well as blood staining the sand.

Ed placed his hand on his right arm and it transformed into a sword. He charged at Brooke and slashed at him. Brooke dodged it and whipped his sword out, clashing, sparks flying as well, before Zoro and Brook swapped opponents, dueling with both of them at the same time. They were on a small remote island, hidden from most people.

"Gomu-Gomu-no…" Luffy said, and he shot his foot up as Goku shot towards him, a high-powered energy ball in his.

"ONI!" he shouted and brought it down upon Gokus' back and sent him into the ground, sending sand everywhere.

"KamehameHA!" shouted Goku, and a kameameha wave shot out from the pit and threw Luffy into the air.

"Luffy!" shouted Nami and Chopper, but Luffy shot his hands back and slung them forward and knocked Goku off his feet, even deeper into the hole.

"Kame." Goku said, placing his hands behind him.

"Gomu" Luffy started, throwing his hand behind his back.

"Hame." Goku continued, a bright blue ball of light forming.

"Gomu-no" Luffy said, his arm reaching its' fullest extent.

"HA!" echoed Gokus' voice as a super Kamehamewave shot up at Luffy.

"BAZOOKA!" screamed Luffy and he shot his hands at the blast and the two attacks collided and sent a wave of energy through the air. Luffy flew through the air and shot to the ground and crashed. He got back up and grinned at Goku. The two were about to congratulate each other, just as storm clouds began to form. Everyone who wasn't already on the ship, got on it as the storm began to stir the ocean. The ship shook violently, due to the waves, but still they sailed on.

"Luffy!" shouted Nami over the speaker.

"Eh? Ya Nami?" he shouted looking at the Crows Nest.

"We are about to hit Arabasta!" she shouted, and the original Straw Hats shouted in unison

"WHAT?"

"But how did we get back there?" shouted Chopper.

"I am not sure" answered Nami, and the snail receiver began to ring.

"Hello?" she asked, answering it.

"This is Arabasta sea control." Came a males voice.

'Since when did Arabasta take such precautions like this? A Sea control?' she thought as the man talked.

"What is your purpose of coming to Arabasta?" He asked, and Nami lied.

"We came to restock on supplies." she said, and the man snorted and chuckled.

"and who may I ask is here for supplies?" he asked and Luffy shouted, before Nami had a chance to reply.

"The Straw Hat pirates!" there was silence and then he hung up. The water began to calm down and the docks appeared.

"That's what they mean by Sea Control?" she shouted and they docked. Everyone was still awed at the new technology that Arabasta had developed while they were away.

Vivi was looking out on the desert, smiling. The day was not too hot, it was just right. The wind was blowing, the sun hid behind clouds to cool things down and… Could it be? She stood up, and looked at the dock. She saw a familiar flag and leapt off the balcony she was on. She landed softly on the building below her and then onto the ground. She ran to the docks and saw Luffy get off the ship, Followed by Nami, Zoro, Chopper, Sanji, Usopp, Robin, and Franky. She ran to them and they smiled at her.

"What are you guys doing here?" Vivi asked, sniffing in happiness.

"Well we are looking for some supplies and a place to stay." said Nami, smiling at Vivi

"We have been ambushed by Bartholomew Kuma." Robin said quietly and Vivi stepped back.

"Don't worry Vivi, she is one of us now!" Nami said, walking beside her. Vivi smiled weakly and nodded. She led them to the castle, Luffy was looking around, smiling, when he saw a man standing on top of the castle. Luffy stopped walking and stared at the man, and the man stared back at him. The man had, what looked like, from a distance, a white assassin armor on and it shone in the sun. The man crouched down and then disappeared when Luffy blinked. He looked around and Nami ran back to him.

"What are you looking at Luffy?" she asked, looking up too.

"There was a man up there…" he said, and the two shrugged and walked to the castle.

"Straw-Hats found." a males voice said.

"Peruse them and Eliminate them." Came another voice and the man hesitated, then nodded. He vanished into the shadows of one of the towers, making his way down into the castle itself.

Vivis' servants brought out the food and put it on the table. There was tons of beef, vegetables, fruit, grog, wine, fish, bread, mashed potatoes, pork chops, lamb chops, roast baked chicken, peas, carrots, mulled wine, and pig.

"A feast for old friends, and to the New ones!' she shouted and everyone cheered, and then Vivis' eyes got small. Another man was cheering with them, but was unfamiliar to the Straw Hats or anyone else in the room. They all looked at him as he picked up a glass of grog, laughing.

"Don't you all just love to party?" asked the man, wearing his Vice Admiral Outfit. He had yellow shoulder pads on the cloak and they had hundreds of yellow dangling laces that were about one inch long. He had a mask covering his mouth and nose, and a hood that formed a widows peak and stopped at the center of his eyes. He had Blue eyes and black hair that covered some of his face as he removed the mask and smirked at them.

"Let us feast!" he said and Luffy jumped up and shot his arm back and then released it to punch the mans face.

"WHAT THE -!" everyone shouted, because Luffys' fist went through the mans face and sand shot out upon impact, the man snickering.

"But that's the power of Cro-"

Codile?" finished the man and he placed his palm to his face and he changed into Crocodile.

"No… Crocodile is down in level six of Impel Down… Locked away forever, smiling like a blubbering fool!" the man laughed, and placed his palm to his face and returned to his original form, snickering and eating food.

"I enjoy scaring people in that manner…" he said, draining the glass of grog, placing it down, looking up, sneering with grog running down his chin, dripping on the floor as he bared his teeth.

"W-w-what are you doing here?" shouted Vivi, her eyes wide with fear, her hand shaking as she watched him.

"I was sent to eliminate the Straw-Hats." he said and Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Chopper, Usopp, Franky, Robin, Brook, and Nami all stood up. They were preparing for an attack but the Vice-Admiral continued to eat, ignoring their movements. The rest of them stood up too, watching him.

"Then you will have to fight us all!" everyone shouted and the man waved his hand, dabbing his face with his napkin.

"Oh that is funny…" he chuckled, looking up, sitting back in his chair. "If you didn't know, I am Morisondo… the Marines Experimental Vice Admiral.. They have given me all the powers of every criminal that has gone to prison, every marine devil fruit user… every listed power we could get their hands on… Shichibukai ones too, but that was a bit of trouble to get..." he frowned, and he sighed, 'You don't know how boring this job is. I am sent to kill or capture pirates such as you guys..." he drained another cup and the Straw Hats stood there.

"Why are you here exactly?" Luffy asked, looking at him. And the man smirked.

"Well, since you asked... The World Government seems to think you are becoming a greater threat... not sure WHY.. I mean if someone waged war on the world, don't you think that you would be high on their list?"

"So are you going to-" Started Zoro, and the man cut in, looking at him.

"Must you ask me such a question? Roronoa Zoro? You are all notorious pirates with bounties greater than many in the Grand-Line. You took out the CP-9, declared war on the World, have been causing trouble all over the world and you are asking me if I will kill you? Idiot. My mission is to kill you all.. But my goal in life is different. Kuma didn't follow orders and sent some of your friends flying. So, I was sent here to eliminate you all…" He said, standing up. "However, I will let you go for now. Besides, if I was going to kill you, all of you would be dead before you had time to even react or realize what just happened... But know this, the next time we I will not hesitate to take you all down. So, I suggest that you leave here right away. " and with that he disappeared. The Straw Hats stood there and ran to the window, not seeing him. Luffy then looked around and saw the table and shouted as food appeared on it.

"FOOD!" and he began to shovel food into his mouth. The others began to eat, very hesitantly and Vivi looked around. Somehow, the tension had disappeared when the Vice Admiral had. How... strange. Almost as if he wasn't there at all...

'Something's not right here…' she thought and looked outside, from her balcony. She saw a man in a white vice admiral cloak walking away, then he turned into a bird and flew away. She watched it fly away and tilted her head.

"That must have been... no no... he turned into a bird..." she sighed and sat down to eat with the others.

"Rebe ish ishh sha dest shooed evee, asibe some Sangees! (Vivi, this is the best food ever, aside from Sanjis')" Luffy shouted, with a mouth full of meat. She giggled and drank some mulled wine and ate some fruit, something Luffy purposely avoided. She smiled at everyone then closed her eyes and began to think about… well that will be revealed later. The sand began to shift in the desert, as the wind picked up. The Vice-Admiral was flying around Arabasta, keeping watch on the castle and the inhabitants. He looked upon the small café that was there and sighed, remembering a day in the past.

"Bleep bleep. Bleep bleep" rang his Den-Den Mushi.

"What is it?" he answered, resting on a building.

"Have you eliminated The Straw Hats?" came the voice.

"Eh… No. I have not." he replied, scratching his head. "The people I saw were not the Straw Hats. They were just impostors..." he said and the receiver sighed.

"Well, Vice Admiral Mori, You must find the Straw Hats. It is your job and what you were made to do. Eliminate pirates we send you to kill!" the receiver said, and then hung up.

"I hate, hate, when people say I was made to do something." he growled and looked around. He saw one of the Straw-Hats, Sanji, walking around.

"Hmm… maybe I should have a little fun…" he said, grinning and he leapt in front of Sanji.

"Well well well, if it isn't the famous sea cook, Sanji. Perhaps we can become more acquainted?" he said, his hood covering his eyes. Sanji dropped his cigarette, and got into a battle stance. Morisondo snickered, and Sanji crouched down.

"I suppose you want to kill me and kill the rest?" growled Sanji, and Mori laughed.

"No. Did you not hear what I said back in there? I would have if I wanted to... I want to test you." he said and ran forward.

"Epo~ru ( Shoulder )" shouted Sanji, And he shot his foot at Moris' shoulder and the Vice Admiral squinted.

"Jigo~! ( Leg ) " he shouted and brought his foot up to Sanjis', preventing the attack.

"What!?" shouted Sanji and the Vice Admiral laughed.

"I have heard of your famous foot work, Sanji! You beat the CP-9 With it! Now show me what you can truly do!"

"Furanshie! ( Stomach )" shouted Sanji, bringing his foot to the Vice Admirals stomach.

"Powatori~nu ( Breast Shoot )" said the Vice Admiral. His foot met his and Sanjis' eyes got small.

"Korie ( Neck )!"

"Suraisu Shuuto ( Slice Shot )!" Sanji was flipped onto his back by Moris attack.

"You aren't trying hard enough! Come on! You beat A CP-9! Now beat me! I will kill your friends if you don't!" he shouted and Sanji growled and stood up.

"Buroshetto!" he shouted and pounded his foot into the Vice Admirals face. This caused Mori to stagger back, holding his face.

"Diaburu Jambu ( Devils Leg )!" Sanji roared and he began to spin rapidly.

'What is this? I have never seen this move…' the Vice Admiral thought and Sanjis' right leg began to glow red.

"Ekusutora Asshi ( Premium Quality Mincemeat )!" he shouted and began to kick and Sanji kicked the air multiple times prior to impact, seeming to create a barrage of kicks that were hitting the Vice-Admiral on his stomach, face, arms, and legs. He finished off and kicked the Vice- Admiral in the cheek with a horizontal kick, and sent him into the desert.

"Sanji? What is going on" asked Vivi, popping her head down. She saw him bleeding and she gasped, her hands to her mouth.

"The... Vice... Vice Admiral... He is was waiting for me..." he panted and limped back in quickly to warn the others that they had to get moving quickly. The Vice Admiral laid on his back, in a crater of sand. He was bleeding from his mouth and he tasted it.

'So, I guess this is what beat the CP9... Interesting…' He thought and sunk into the sand and shot up as a snake.

"I will have to sssssee about them. Maybe I sssshould follow them…" he hissed and slithered to the ship and entered the ventilation system.
