Chapter 16: Straw Hats vs. the Nine Tailed Brethren
"Now, let's get the party started," Trace said, his staff glowed brightly. "Especto Patronus!" (it's in Latin, it roughly means "I call upon/await a guardian(s)")
"You heard him!"
"Get inside!"
"Master Trace!" said a sing song voice.
"Geki!"
"Tic tock, is it time for tea already?"
"Shut up and get in there!"
"Don't tell me to, at least I'm not the one aimlessly making predictions!"
"WOULD YOU PLEASE GET YOUR FURRY LITTLE BUTTS DOWN HERE ALREADY?!" Trace roared, the Straw Hat Crew's impression of this:
Luffy is laughing very hard at Trace
Zolo is merely glaring at Trace with his swords out
Usopp is being...Usopp, as usual
Nami is looking up at the hatch
Sanji is staring at Luna
Chopper is checking on Loki
Vivi and Carue are getting ready for battle
Luna is at the ready with her bow and arrows
Loki is out cold
"I though we were here for a fight," Luna said, she's still angered about Geki knocking Loki out. She fired an arrow at Trace, but his staff glowed again and the arrow suddenly...melted? Yes, mates, her arrow melted into a pile of sand. "We're waiting for an attack."
"For once he said please!" said a familiar muffled voice of Rao. "Might as well get in."
"Bust it open then."
"We can't just blow it up, it's our front door! I guess I do this." the hatch glowed purple then opened by itself, one by one, the Nine Tailed Brethren came in. Each took their place behind Trace. (ha ha, place and Trace, that rhymed!)
"Show off," Kasu said, Geki nodded, but Spirit charged after him to pinish the clock wearer. In return, Kasu used his cane to strike, both foxes landed opposite of each other. "Time Keeper!"
"Floating Ink!" Spirit said.
"Snare Trap!" Trace bellowed, both foxes were caught in snares. "Shut it, both of you, now hunt or be hunted this time! Kira, go for the swordsman and finish your job!"
"Rodger that, mate," Kira said, we never noticed, but he had an orb around his neck like the others. A long, nine edged sword appeared in his mouth as he went after Zolo. "1000 Wolrds!"
"You're kidding me," Zolo said as he blocked the attack.
"Shadow, Night, you get the ladies!"
"Great!"
"Fantastic!" the twins said, they went after Nami and Vivi.
"Rao, take on the long nosed guy!"
"Got him!" Roa said, she went after the cowering Usopp who went hidding behind barrles. "Come out."
"No!" Usopp said.
"After the reindeer Geki!"
"Where is it?!" Geki asked, looking around.
"To your left," Chopper said, but the fox went after him. "Doctor!"
"Fetch the Straw Hat kid, Spirit!"
"On it," Spirit said, he went after Luffy, who was already in the air.
"Let me down!"
"Didn't Constance mention that there were nine foxes?" Luna asked Sanji, he nodded. "One drowned so there's eight left?"
"So if they're fighting seven, where's the eighth?" Sanji said to Trace.
"You never heard," Trace said, nine, long, fluffy, white colored tails formed behind him. (OMG! Trace is like Naruto!) "I am part of the Brethren. The other fox died years ago after the Red the Leader was drowned, yet I'm considered master. Scared?"
"No, I hunted foxes before," Luna said. "Sanji, better light a cigarette, the party just got started."
"Sure, love," Sanji said, doing what she told him to do. The moment he and Luna attacked, all hell broke loose in the galleon.
