Chapter 6- Sophie
Pulling out Koukon and Keimei, the crew and I began walking towards the execution, "How are you doing this?" Whispered Usopp.
"As I've told you, by vibrating enough I can pass through solid surfaces. The way we see is by seeing reflected light, so by vibrating enough light passes through us without being reflected. Thus this." I state. "Invisibility."
"Then how are we not falling through the ground?"
"Because, I am vibrating the light, instead of you. You would know if I was vibrating you."
"So. I can see the Sunny just rising above the hill. Lets get started."
"Wait, timing is everything." Whispered Nami, "Wait until the execution begins." The Pasifista moved into position, in the middle of the captured citizens.
"First up for execution is Mayor Wayland, for the crime of allying with a known pirate. Your punishment is execution by my axe." Said Sentomaru.
"I'm going to stop this." I whisper, moving forward I pass all the citizens and get to the rubble, just as a struggling old man is brought onto the rubble next to Sentomaru.
"Any last words."
"Only that I only did what was needed to be done to survive, after you all left and abandoned us to the pirates." Looking around at the crowd. "Goodbye my friends." I took this opportunity to grab his shoulder and make him disappear, a collective gasp comes from the crowd. Dragging him to where the other Straw Hats were.
I uncloak everyone in front of the marines,. "They saved the mayor."
"Who are they?"
"Pacifista identify them." Shouted Sentomaru.
"Cat Burglar Nami, Devil Child Nico Robin, Cotton Candy Lover Tony Tony Chopper, Soul King Brook, Sogeking. All of the Straw Hat Pirates, Other is unknown." Said PX-0
"I am Sophie of the Straw Hat Pirates."
"Why did you wait until now to make yourselves known." Shouted a voice from the crowd.
"Because of this."
"GOAN CANNON!" A blast came from the mouth of the Sunny destroying all but one battleship. The ship then touched down in the bay of the town. Jumping onto the shore came Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Franky, Kain and…
"Ex-Admiral Aokiji?" shouted Sentomaru. "How can you join the Straw Hats, how can you just go against everything you believe in."
As they got closer we all heard his reply, "How can you follow a government which executes victims of their failings."
"I will end this now." He shouts, leaping forwards he tries to slash Nami with his axe.
"No you're my opponent axe bastard." Said Luffy, kicking the axe out of the way. "Colour of armament: Hardening." His fist turning black Luffy reeled back. "Gomu Gomu no Red Hawk." He shouted punching the side of Sentomaru's axe, flame leaping from the impact zone.
"I knew you were using Haki last time I saw you. Straw Hat"
"Yes, I've changed a lot in 2 years."
"Kuma, kill the rest of them."
Kuma teleported in front of me and began to charge a mouth laser before Franky performed a downwards smash on Kuma's head making the beam explode in his mouth.
Kuma started after me again before falling over with steel writhing around his feet before spreading over his body, leaving the head uncovered. "Franky, do it." Jumping down he engaged his precision hands and took the panel off of Kuma's head.
"It will be easy to reactivate the free will and personality parts of Kuma's brain, but it will take a while." Stated Franky.
"Sanji, Aokiji and Zoro. Cover us." Kain shouted.
Marines began to charge from the beach, I could see 2 Vice Admirals among the crowd, two captains and a whole load of marines.
"I am Vice Admiral Doberman" One of the marines shouted while leaping towards Brook. "I will kill you all for defying the marines."
Jumping in front of him Zoro blocked Doberman's katana. "If you are a swordsman, you get to be the next step on my way to becoming the best."
"Paw Slash." Doberman slashed down on Zoro, energy surging into the shape of a dogs paw, leaving a small imprint on Zoro's chest, drawing blood.
"Santoryu." Leaping backwards Zoro raised his two swords like bull horns, running towards Doberman he shouted. "Ushi Bari." Drawing blood at his sides Doberman staggered backwards.
"This will be a good fight." Said Doberman.
Running up the rubble I start slashing indiscriminately at marines, 'damn it I need an easier way to defeat them' I thought to myself. Suddenly I had an idea. "Melding shake" I shout as I make the marines partially pass through the floor before stopping and letting them get melded with the rubble from the waist down. "Have fun." I say as I continue up the rubble.
Suddenly the rubble in front of me explodes. The other Vice Admiral is in front of me, "I am Vice Admiral Lacroix and I will defeat you for what you have done to my men." He was a giant wearing a green suit underneath his marine coat. Swinging his leg around he attempted to strike me but it was stopped by a black blur.
"Worst of all, I hate the pile of shits which will attack a pretty woman." Said Sanji stopping Lacroix's leg with his own leg.
"What is the name of the person who I will now kill?" Asked the Vice Admiral.
Lighting his cigarette, Sanji looked at Lacroix. "I don't know who you are talking about you shit. But my name is Sanji."
"Ah Black Leg. I'm glad that I get the chance to kill you."
"Sweep." He said swinging his leg, missing Sanji as he jumped over the attack.
"Menton." Kicking the vice admiral under the chin, his head snapped back.
"Bastard."
Vibrating sections of the wall I begin climbing up towards the highest remaining point of the candy factory before being stopped by one of the captains who was standing on the vertical wall, she began transforming into a half woman, half spider. "I am Captain Nid, eater of the Kumo Kumo no Mi: Model Kuroi Kafu.
"I don't have time for you."
Phasing into the wall I confuse the captain, "Where did you go you pirate bitch."
"Don't you worry about her Nid, you have 8 arms, I have thousands, I am you opponent."
"Ah Devil Child , I look forward to defeating you." Phasing out of the wall I finish climbing the wall and overlook the battle.
The battle stands as such.
Monkey D. Luffy vs. Sentomaru
Roronoa Zoro vs. Doberman
Sanji vs. Lacroix
Nico Robin vs. Nid
Kain & Franky vs. PX-0
Next to me landed the final captain. "I am…"
"Captain Tashigi, I am Sophie I will be you opponent."
"Those blades you are holding they are…"
"Choujin Koukon and Ketatamashii Keimei. You will not take them."
Charging at me she begins to slash, I let the blade pass through my body. I guess you do not know how to use Haki yet."
"I do not need to use Haki to defeat pirates like you."
Turning invisible I begin to move around. "I think you will need Haki to defeat me."
Slashing with my blade I am surprised when my sword is blocked. "Your movements are easy to read, even if I cannot see you." Stabbing forward with my dagger I draw blood on her hand causing her to draw back.
She slashes forward causing blood to be drawn on my arm. "I never said that I did not have Haki."
"Well." I say as I phase into the floor, "It doesn't matter whether you can hurt me, if you cannot hit me."
Bursting from the ground I slash at her back before being blocked by her blade, stabbing forward with my dagger I stab her in the side.
Putting her Haki infused foot underneath me to prevent my escape into the ground. "Time to die." She began stabbing down on me before being struck by lightning. Rolling out of the way of the blade I look up.
"Nami, what are you doing up here?"
"Do you think you are going to face her alone?" asked Nami. "Chopper is helping Robin and Usopp is helping Franky and Kain. Brook and Aokiji are on crowd control."
"Do you really think that you can defeat a Marine Captain." Shouted a slightly blackened Tashigi, Swinging her sword at Nami, I blocked, buckling under the force of her blow.
"Hey Nami, remember to tell me to ask Zoro for training after this."
"Sure."
"Floor Trap." Dropping into the floor, I stab into the bottom of Tashigi's foot making her howl in pain.
"Hurricane Tempo." Spinning the Clima-Tact, wind began to build up. Suddenly a small hurricane formed and shot towards Tashigi. Ripping her bleeding foot off of my dagger she dodged the hurricane.
"Damn you, pirates." She said, phasing out of the floor I stand near Nami.
"Any ideas on how to defeat her?"
"If you can hold her down I can hit her with some weather science."
"O.K. I will try to hold her down but it will be hard."
Running forward I slash down at Tashigi, but she dodges and slashes down at me. I block with Keimei and slash again with the sword before stabbing down at her other foot before suddenly having me blade stop on her foot. "What the hell."
"You cannot get through my Haki." She stabbed down and impaled me through my right shoulder. It was a through and through. My right arm went limp and I dropped Koukon. My vision blurred and I fell to the floor. Blood pooling around me I turned my neck to see Tashigi, stabbing Nami through the foot before slashing her in the side as she tried to dodge.
Suddenly the colour seemed to drain out of the world, I couldn't hear anything. I got a burst of strength, pushing myself up I picked up Koukon, I felt no pain in my arm. My body working on autopilot I started to attack Tashigi, her mouthing things that I couldn't hear. Parry, twist, slash stab, block, stab. I slowly begin pushing her away from Nami.
I slash her in the shoulder, breaking the skin of her non-weapon arm and drawing blood. "Swinging around I hit the base of the hilt of her sword sending it clattering out of her hand. Dropping down I allow Tashigi to fall partway into the floor.
Sound returning I shout. "Nami, do it now."
"Right." She says, propping herself up on one arm and wielding her Clima-Tact in the other, flicking the sections into a triangle shape she pulls a cord from around her wrist with her mouth causing a violent gust to blow through, "Wind Knot." Swinging her Clima-Tact forward she shouts. "Storm Season." Hundreds of dark clouds pour out of the Clima-Tact. Carried by the wind they begin to circle around Tashigi. Before creating a funnel, surrounding Tashigi.
I jumped backwards to get out of the way of the descending funnel. It fully enclosed her, lightning jumping around inside it. Firing a Weather Ball at the funnel Nami shouts. "Storm Cyclone."
The Weather Ball strikes the cyclone, causing it to turn yellow as it discharged the lightning inside of it. Over the sound of the cyclone we could hear the screams from Tashigi. As the clouds dissipated I could see the blackened form of Tashigi lying on the ground.
Releasing my power her legs are released from the ground. Staggering over to Nami I look at her with her wounds. "Look at the state of us," I say, "At least we won."
"I think we should get to the doctor."
"Yeah I feel…" Toppling forward I hit the ground, unable to move I begin to lose consciousness.
"Sophie, are you okay." Asked Nami. "Sophie."
I black out in a growing pool of my own blood.
