To the guy that wondered what Austria and Russia argued about (his or her name is too long to write) - That wasn't meant to be anything. In 1873, Austria-Hungary, Germany, and Russia's leaders had a meeting, but Russia and Austria-Hungary could not agree on one of the issues. Austria-Hungary ended up forming the Dual Alliance with Germany without Russia in 1879, which looked like a threat to Russia. It was one of the causes of WWI, and Canada was explaining how it happened.
Did you know that 'Doitsu', Japanese for 'Germany', is actually closer to German for 'Germany' than it is in English? In German, 'Germany' is Deutschland. Don't ask me how we got 'Germany' from that…
Fine, I admit it, I made up some of the attacks. I'm not a hardcore One Piece fan, so I can't remember everything.
Chapter 12 (Sealand POV)
"W-wait a second! You're the ref; if you fight, wouldn't you be biased?" Ussop yelled.
"Ve~, Ludwig wouldn't be biased, he's-"
"He's got a point, you know." I cut Italy off. "I mean, we need a referee who isn't fighting. I nominate Robin!"
"Huh? Why me?" she asked.
"Out of everyone here, you're the sanest, and you don't seem to be biased." I got out my satchel and pulled out two flags, "Here, use these. The black, yellow, and red one's for G- Ludwig, and the white one's for Nami."
"Ve~, aren't those my white flags that you painted?" asked Italy good-naturedly.
"Er, yeah. Sorry, I got a bit bored, so I used the white flags that I stole from you last week to make your flags. I figured that since you already mass-produced so many, you wouldn't miss a few. I couldn't do Antonio's', or Gilbert's, since the designs are so complicated, but I've got everyone else's' [1]!" I paused for a moment. "Yes, even yours, Mathew. The maple leaf was a bit hard, but I managed it,"
"Thank goodness," he said breathily.
"Oi! Can you draw our flags, too?" asked Luffy. How he made such a quick recovery from Russia's pipe, I have no clue.
"Well, if it's anything complicated, I can't do it. Can you try, Feliciano?"
"Ve~ okay! But I'll have to see them first,"
"Here, all of us have our own flags!" Nami took a few slips of paper out of her shirt pocket and set them on the ground.
"Ve~ I keep paint with me all the time!" Italy got a few paint jars out of his uniform pocket and began to draw.
"So zat's vhy you never have room for anysing else!"
"So, are we fighting?" asked Nami. I guess that she just wanted to get it over with. She didn't seem the type to go looking for a fight.
"Ja, ve vill begin as soon as Robin says,"
"Right," Robin nodded. "Ready, set, paint!" Nami painted the palm of her hand, and Germany painted his neck.
"Go!"
Germany drew his pistol, and Nami swung a staff out of nowhere. "Try this! Lightning …" the clouds grew dark and began to crackle.
Being a sea nation, I knew what clouds like that could only mean. "Uh-oh, a storm's coming!" I said.
"Strike!" Nami threw her staff down and lay flat on the ground.
"Vhat are you-" FLASH! BOOM! Lightning struck Germany's gun, shocking him. He collapsed, but he stood up again. I took a closer look, and his gun was sparking. He noticed too, and pointed it at Nami. "Do you know vat ze blitzkrieg is?"
"Does it matter?" Nami picked her staff up and began to spin it. Lightning began to crackle in the distance. Was she a mage or something? England told me that witches and wizards couldn't do anything like that, so she had to be a mage!
"It does!" Germany yelled as he dodged a bolt of lightning.
"Fine, if you can't see," Nami gave her staff another whirl, and it began to snow. "No, wait, wrong button," So it wasn't magic after all, just complex machinery "Mirage wave!" The air around her shimmered, and five copies of her emerged out of nowhere.
"Impressive, but try zis!" He reached for his uniform pocket and pulled out a hand grenade, pulled the pin, and threw it. "Careful, it vill explode!"
Nami batted it away with her staff. "Then why tell me that?" The grenade flew towards Germany.
"So zat I can see vhere you are!" he dodged the grenade, raised his gun, and yelled "Finale Blitzeinschlag[2]!" He fired. Wait a second… his gun was still sparking! The bullet was charged!
All six Namis ducked at the same time, narrowly avoiding the bullet. "If electricity won't work, then-" She never got to finish her sentence. Germany ran towards her before she could do anything else, and smacked her palm.
"And zat iz ze blitzkrieg."All of us looked at him curiously. "Vhat, it's not like I vas going to shoot her,"
"… Ludwig wins?" Robin said uncertainly.
"I guess," said England. Man, it was weird having him like this, forgetting even the Blitz. It was as if his amnesia gave him a blank slate, and his personality had diminished to virtually nothing. All his anger had faded, but even if he is less violent, he's just not Jerk-England anymore. What if he never regains his memory? Or worse yet, remembers everything he's been through before he remembers that he's a nation? Normal people can't handle that much bloodshed, hundreds of years of it. He'd go mad before… no, don't think about it.
"Anyway, how many fights are we going to do today?" I asked, trying to shake off my depressing thoughts. "We've done two yesterday, how many can we squeeze in?"
"Let's have one now, then we can have pasta~" said North Italy, already finished with the drawings. From what I could see, they were better than the originals.
"You're only saying that because you don't have to fight," Ussop muttered. Actually, Ussop, he's only saying that because he wants pasta.
"Shut up, we'll fight you when the rest of the fights are over!" I blurted out.
"And by 'we', you mean…" Romano began furiously.
"Come on, it'll be the three of us against one of them, and I've got heavy artillery!"
"Vhat? Feliciano cannot fight, you should know that, Peter!" Germany yelled.
Spain put his hand on my shoulder. "If Lovino gets hurt in any way…" He subtly drew his axe. Oh, man, Spain's gone into his psycho-Conquistador mode!
"Let's see who's fighting next," Nami pulled out another piece of paper. "Ussop vs. Antonio?"
Ussop blanched in terror. "A-Antonio? I'm going to die…"
DONE! I put up a poll to see who would fight Sealand and the others, go check it out!
[1] Prussia and Spain's flags- Prussia's flag has an eagle, and Spain's flag has its coat of arms on it, so I doubt that Sealand could draw them, and he didn't want to mess them up.
[2] Finale Blitzeinschlag, Germany's final attack- German for Final Lightning Strike.
