Chapter 11: A Decisive Battle! Xcution vs. the Straw Hats!

The black digital space surrounding Luffy and Ichigo crumpled and fade away, revealing a modern-day city that looks similar to Karakura Town under a clear blue sky. "So…is this Karakura Town?" Ichigo asked, looking around this new environment.

"Pretty cool, huh?" A voice asked, getting the boys' attention. It was Ginjo. "I figured why not choose an environment that you're used to fighting in. Aren't you happy? Now one of you can fight me one-on-one."

"Sorry guys, make that three against one." Uryu said, stepping in-between them.

"Uryu…" Ichigo said, surprised to see the Quincy. "Are you really ready to fight?"

"Rukia treated me. I'm not fully recovered but I'll be fine. Listen I…I think I might owe an apology Ichigo." Ichigo widen his eyes at Uryu in confusion. Apologize for what? "Remember right after we returned from saving Rukia in the Soul Society? That was when you first told us about the Combat Pass. It was also when I start thinking that another Soul Reaper must have existed before you. And that he probably gone missing. If that other soul reaper was alive, they probably should've told you that he was. And if he was dead, they should've told you why he died. But the fact is that they told you nothing. That probably means that the Soul Society didn't know what happened to him. I should've told you this I thought of it."

"You're right." Ichigo said. "YOU SHOULD'VE!" Then Ichigo comically kicked Uryu in the butt.

"Come on, what the hell?!" Uryu shouted, rubbing his behind.

"But that's ancient history. You need to stop dwelling on stuff that happened way back in the past. It's idiotic."

"Yeah, like you don't dwell on things forever."

"You say something?!"

"Forget it."

"Then let's do this! And don't get my way."

'I'm just concerned.' Uryu thought. 'What if there was a reason why the Soul Society withheld this information from us?'

"Ichigo, Uryu, just stay back." Luffy said to Ichigo and Uryu, getting their attention. "I can handle this guy myself." Ginjo smirked at the rubber captain as their fight is about to begin.

"Quinto Tias…" Brook said, putting his sword into its sheath. "…Fantasia!" The skeleton finished with a metallic clink and a large slash appeared on Kutsuzawa's body.

"That's impossible!" Kutsuzawa exclaimed as he fell to the ground. The room that Brook was in started to crumble away, revealing the forest where he and his crewmates got separated.

"Brook!" Usopp and Chopper shouted happily, running towards the skeleton friend.

"Hello there!" Brook greeted his crewmates. "It appears that the others haven't made it back yet."

"No, what happened to them?" Chopper asked.

"They're probably still in battle with the enemy." Brook said. "The best thing we can do now is to wait for them."

Sanji was running down the hallway of the area that he and Yukio were sent to, thanks to Yukio's fullbring, Invaders Must Die. 'I don't know how he did it but he used his power to track me in this place.' Sanji thought. Sanji looked behind his shoulder and saw two missiles coming towards him. Sanji turned around and kicked one of them into the other, created an explosion. Then the door next to Sanji started to close. Sanji tried to rush to the door and keep it door but it close he got there. Sanji kicked the door out of frustration as he heard Yukio laughing.

"What are you kicking at?" Yukio taunted as a screen appeared on the roof, showing him smirked at the cook. "Is that best attempt to locate me? I say that you just unwilling to power up to your full strength unless I say something drastic like 'Too bad that your friends are about to die.'" Then the screen disappeared.

"It looks like I'm the one got stuck with the annoying guy." Sanji said, lighting a cigarette and blowing out a puff of smoke.

Nami and Rukia looked around as stuffed animals started to pop out of the sweets around them. "Alright, show yourself." Rukia demanded. "Where are you?" Then the toys started to come out of the sweets and charged towards the two girls. Rukia quickly ran towards the toys and grabbed each one that got close to her. "Don't think that you can…tempt me with these plushy dolls of yours!"

"Really?" Nami said, looking at the lieutenant with a sweat drop. "You decided to say that now?"

"This is way too easy." Riruka said with a bored expression on her face. "Maybe I should just shoot her."

Zoro looked up at the dark sky, staring at the blood red moon. "You know, I'm not sure that this is the best of you to be gazing at the moon." Tsukishima said, getting the swordsman's attention.

Zoro looked at the Fullbringer and then looked back at the moon. "I was thinking to myself that it's a good that I'm the one fighting you." He said.

"Why is that?"

"Because Ichigo is too soft. Right now, he's fueled with anger for you people. Knowing him, it's doubtful that he'll the will to finish you when the time comes."

Tsukishima smirked as he walked towards Zoro with his fullbring activated. "Oh? So I get the feeling you're implying that you're the right man for the job." Tsukishima swung towards Zoro's neck but Zoro easily blocked it with one of his swords, shocking the fullbringer.

"I truly despise the way that you fight." Zoro said coldly as he pushed the fullbringer back. "You toy with your opponent's heart by robbing the bonds they share and use them to do your dirty work. It's too despicable to allow you and your cowardliness." Zoro turned towards Tsukishima with a death glare painted on his face. "I'm going to cut you down before you even have a chance to touch me."

Shishigawara charged towards the tree separating him from Franky and punched it with his brass-knuckles loaded right hand. The tree shook and started to fall down towards the shipwright. Franky quickly jumped back as the tree hit the ground.

"Hey you, quit running you bastard!" Shishigawara shouted.

'What was that?' Franky thought, looking at the destroyed tree. 'No matter how I figure it, a single punch shouldn't be able to knock down a tree that large. It looked like it didn't have enough force to break of wood. He's smashing everything with one punch. How's a kid like him doing that?' Shishigawara appeared behind Franky and punched him in the shoulder. Franky yelled in pain as the punch started to impact some of the circuits in his arm and send him crashing to the ground. Franky stood back up on his feet, glaring at Shishigawara as his left arm went limb.

"Ha, I busted your shoulder, didn't I?" Shishigawara boasted. "Too bad for you, huh?"

Franky placed his right hand over his damaged shoulder and little tools came out of his fingers, repairing the damage that was done to it. Shishigawara watched as Franky lowered his hand and looked to the ground.

Franky balled both of his fists as he went into his signature pose, showing that his shoulder that fully repaired. "SUPER!" he yelled as the top of his voice.

'What the hell was that?!' Shishigawara thought surprised as he was moving his left arm like nothing happened to it. 'That bastard just repaired all that damage I was did to his shoulder! What kind of freak is this guy?!'

"What's the matter, kid?" Franky asked with a smirk. "Something got you a little worried?"

Shishigawara balled his fist in anger as he charged towards Franky. "I'm not scared of you, you jackass!"

Robin looked at the motor on Jackie's body, watching as the smoke come out of it. "Are you going to attack?" Jackie questioned.

"Making the first attack without knowing their abilities isn't my style." Robin said, holding her arms.

"So you're cautious." Jackie said, looking at Robin. "Or maybe you're just narrow-minded. Have you ever fought anyone stronger that you?"

"It doesn't matter to me with my opponent is stronger or not. I won't attack first."

"Oh? So you're not just narrow-minded, you're inflexible as well."

"What's with that motorcycle pipe on your chest?" Robin asked, looked the engine on Jackie. "Did you gain more power when you rev it up?"

"Oh this?" Jackie questioned, touching the engine on her chest. "I'm surprised. A pirate knowing something about bikes?"

"You could say that."

"So you're not going to make the first attack, huh? Then you better shut up and get ready. I won't be stubborn or it might really cost you." Robin widen her eyes as the smoke coming of the pipe turned black and motor oil started to spatter all over Jackie's body. "You're about to find out that the dirtier that my Dirty Boots get, the stronger they become. And it doesn't just work on my boots. Any dirt or mud that just happens to get on the fullbring surrounding my body makes me stronger as well."

Jackie lifted her leg and stomped it on the ground, causing the rocks behind her to crumble and small wave of water to come towards Robin. Robin looked behind her shoulder and saw the fullbring appearing behind her. Jackie threw kick at Robin but Robin quickly ducked under it. "You're pretty darn quick. But let's see if you can keep it up." Jackie appeared in front of Robin and kicked her in the chest, pushing her back. "You're done!" Robin skidded on the ground, stopping herself from hitting the boulder behind her.

'What?!' Jackie thought with widen eyes, shocked to see Robin still on her feet. 'I hit her hard! How come she wasn't knocked completely flat?!'

"So where's the next one?" Robin said, readying herself. "Come on."

"I told you!" Jackie shouted, glared at the pirate. "I'm going to make you regret ever saying that to me!" Jackie charged towards Robin again.

"Diez Fleur: Calendula!" Ten sprouted on Robin's left arm as they caught Jackie's leg. The boulder behind Robin crumbled to piece by the force of Jackie's attack. "Quarenta Fleur: Cuarto Mano-Spank!" Jackie widens her eyes as four giant arms on her body and hitting her. "My friends and I had been training for two years to be prepared for someone on the level as a warlord. It doesn't matter who you are, you can't stand up to us now." Jackie fell to the ground as the fallen rocks created another mini-wave.
