Chapter 17: The Ultimate Devil Fruit!? Ellix vs. Kobata!
Colour Spread: The Strawhats are having a barbeque in the middle of a wild west-like town, with their wanted posters fluttering in the breeze. Sanji is on the grill wearing a dark blue chefs outfit, with Franky in a light blue train drivers outfit modifying it. Robin wearing her Whiskey Peak outfit hands burgers out with her Devil Fruit powers, whilst Usopp dressed up in yellow Sheriff clothes practices his shooting (Very badly). Chopper is in the shade of the Bank roof, wearing a pink bull costume complaining about the heat, with Nami in an orange cowgirl outfit next to him eating. Brook in a typical wild west piano players outfit is 'playing dead' in the sand, with Zoro drinking booze wearing a green cowboy outfit. Finally, Luffy, Ellix and Eri wearing red, aquamarine and dark red cowboy outfits respectively are ravenously eating meat with a giant rack of ribs behind them.
"Marineford?" Kobata asked with a raised eyebrow. "Don't you know what's going to go down there? The dog flees FROM the flames, not into them."
"URUSAI!" I yelled. "Me and my friends are gonna take this ship!"
Kobata smirked. "And your friends will do...what exactly?" He pointed behind me.
I turned to find them all in Kairoseki handcuffs! Even Kalamar and Tempo! "They had the surprise attacking of us, Ellix-sama..." Dimo said weakly.
"NO KIDDING! That must've been record time!" I yelled with shark teeth.
"Ah wait, NOW I remember you." I turned back to Kobata. "Wodos T. Ellix, Rokushiki Nightmare, with a bounty of 240,000,000 berri. So why do you want to sail to Marineford in MY boat, Nightmare?"
"I'm going to help Luffy rescue his brother!" I declared.
"Brother?...Are you talking about Alvida the Iron Mace?"...NANI!?
"Captain...it's Portgaz D. Ace."
"EHHHHHH!?...He's a guy right? Yep, those two can EASILY be mixed up."
"NO THEY CANNOT!" I yelled with shark teeth.
"Anyway, you want to save him!?...How precious." He gave me a smirk that just screamed he was a dick. "In my opinion, I'm glad he's being executed, he's nothing but a filthy smudge on the names of both Marines AND pirates! Finally the Marines are doing something USEFUL by purging him from the face of the world! And if we're lucky they'll kill ALL of Whitebeard's crew too! Mehehehehehe! MEHEHEHEHEHE!"
My eyes widened in rage as I got into Luffy's Gear Second stance. "Don't you dare..." I glared at him. "SAY THAT ABOUT ACE! Soru!" I dashed in front of him and pulled back my fist.
"NANI!?" Kobata shouted in shock of my speed.
"Ken!" I punched him straight in the gut with Soru speed. His whole body froze, then he began twitching violently before the impact finally caught up with him, and he was thrown back into the railing with a big boom and flying dust.
"CAPTAAAAAAAIN!" His surrounding crewmates yelled before they aimed their weapons at me.
"Wait!" They all froze as Kobata stood up and wiped blood off of his chin. "The cub will not learn unless punished by the alpha male. I am the captain of the Thief Pirates, I do not have a bounty because no-one has even been able to see my face!...I am more then a match for you, Nightmare." He then stood up.
I glared at him as I readied my leg. "Rankyaku...Yufo!" I shot a Rankakyu identical to Lucci's 'Rankyaku Hyobi'.
But Kobata just smiled as he started glowing orange just before the attack hit him. His face became shadowed as he was hit by the spinning air wave.
"WaytogoEllix!" Roy called...no...something was up...
Suddenly Kobata's mouth was revealed, and it was in a smile! "Mehehehe...Counter Body!" He then threw open his arms to reveal my Rankyaku had done nothing against his glowing body! "Is that the best you can do, Nightmare? I'm disappointed...Mehehehe..."
I gritted my teeth in anger, what was that? A shield Devil Fruit or something?...I had to test it...and I'd start by ploughing through full force! I pushed off the wooden flooor and dashed at him. "Shigan Akai Hatsu Dangan!" I repetitively poked the air with both my forefingers, sending countless air bullets at him.
"I was expecting more power from you." Kobata sneered as he easily endured.
"Nnnnggghh...URUSAAAAIIIIII!" I screamed as I kept up my attack, but I stopped halfway as I realised I wasn't getting anywhere, and I needed to save my strength.
"Oh? Is that all you can muster? I suppose you are the cat impersonating the lion." He was REALLY beginning to annoy me now.
"Kami-E!"I flattened my arm and twisted it around until I could no more. "Shigan Neji!" I dashed forward and stabbed my finger at him in a drilling motion, but he just ducked!
"Here, have your attacks back." He said as he punched me in the chest. "Counter Shock!"
Suddenly, it felt like I was hit with a sharp and painful strike, followed by being peppered with millions of powerful bullets! I gasped in pain as I was thrown back onto my my back and I clutched my chest in pain, ARRRGGGHH it felt like I'd been stabbed all over my body!
"ELLIX!/ELLIX-SAMA!/SCREEEPTH!" My friends yelled.
"You are truly gullible." Kobata said as I rolled onto my front, I had to muster all my strength just to try and pick myself up! "I ate the Bakku Bakku no Mi, I'm a Counter human!"
I picked myself up and glared at him whilst I clutched my chest. "I can take any move you make without a scratch and then hit YOU with it, only with double the power!" He continued. "It's the ULTIMATE Devil Fruit! I could defeat the Shichibukai, Yonko AND the Marines without a single scar afterwards if I wanted to!"
I hated this guy, spewing crap about having the ultimate Devil Fruit. "All Devil Fruits have weaknesses!" I yelled at him. "And I will find yours, defeat you, and you will take me to Marineford!"
"Mehehehehe! Don't you get it, Nightmare!? The Bakku Bakku no Mi HAS no weakness! I am INVINCIBLE! Nobody can touch me!" He declared.
'I know that's not true, he got hit with my Soru Ken!" I thought. 'I'll just surprise him again...' "Soru!" I disappeared and dashed into the air beside him. "Rankyaku Gaicho!" I whipped my leg to send a large steel slicing bird at him.
He just reached out his hand and crushed it whilst he glowed orange! "I must admit...you almost got me for a second, there." He then jumped up and got right in my face.
'I need to dodge!' "Gep-"
"Counter Shock!" He kneed me in the chin, feeling like a powerful uppercutting slash. The impact rolled my eyes into the back of my head as I felt myself fly up before doing a U-turn and crashing into the deck of the ship.
"You cannot defeat the ultimate Devil Fruit, Nightmare!" He yelled at me.
My eyes fixed themselves as I struggled to my feet, getting hit with twice as much power as you do is not fun. And this guy was FAR too full of himself, I needed to knock him down a peg. "Soru!" I dashed straight in front of him. "Twin Tekkai Ken!" I hardened both my arms with Tekkai and slammed them into his...orange glowing chest.
"It's no use Nightmare, I have Kenbunshoku Haki, and I can predict every move you'll make." He sneered, so it IS Haki! "Counter Shock!" He punched me with both fists and I was thrown back into the wall.
I supported myself as I bent my leg. "Rankyaku Bumeran!" I sent a 'V' shaped Rankyaku spinning away as I then supported myself up by my arms. "Rankyaku Ran!" I whipped loads of smaller air slices at him, which he endured with Counter Body.
"Don't you learn anything? Your just giving me more power!" Kobata laughed as I stopped my attack, I had to endure this next one.
"Counter Shock!"
"Tekkai Gou!"
I clenched my teeth as he slammed both fists into me, luckily my technique reduced the impact. Kobata suddenly gasped and fell to his knees as he was hit in the back by my returning Bumeran.
'Why didn't he defend?' I briefly thought. 'Never mind! I have an opening to atta-GAH!' My legs painfully buckled from underneath me. 'Damnit! I've taken more damage then I thought!'
By this time, Kobata had recovered and glared at me. "Clever trick..." He said before he rapidly punched me three times in the stomach.
Oh Gol D. Roger...that hurt...I think I'm going to...
"Hurts, doesn't it?" I really hated this guy. "Those punches were strengthened by my Busoshoku Ha-"
"BLEAGH!" Before he could continue I threw up bile all over his face, courtesy of his previous punches.
"GAH! This is disgusting!" He shouted in shock.
With renewed strength I took advantage of the opportunity. "Tekkai Sai!" I dashed forward with Soru and tackled him with a steel hard body, a deadly combination.
"EYAAAAAAHHH!" Kobata yelled as he was thrown into the other side of his ship whilst his crewmates watched in horror.
I took advantage of the oppurtunity and dashed over to him. "Shigan Oren!" I stabbed one of my fingers into him multiple times, but he did Counter Body again!
"You are beginning to annoy me...Counter Shock!" Before I coould react he punched me inthe stomach and sent me flying across and then into the deck to the cheer of his crew.
I layed on my front as I tried to get up, everything hurt and my body wouldn't obey me. "Where is your resolve now, Nightmare?" Kobata asked mockingly. "You thought YOU could even PARTAKE in a war of this magnitude!? Pathetic! Ace will die how he has always been, a disgusting rodent!"
His words fueled my already building rage, but I knew I couldn't risk going even half Nightmare, I had to keep my head on in this fight. So I forced myself to stand, coughing up blood at the same time.
"Oh? You can still stand?...Well, your obviously not a pushover." Kobata snorted.
"...Don't..." I glared at him. "Don't you DARE insult Ace to my face! I may not know him as well as Luffy but...but..." I stood tall with pride. "A good person should NEVER die! No matter what they're title is! That's MY justice!"
"Get the flowers out of your head, justice of any form won't be present in this war, only the blood bath."
"SHUT THE HELL UP!" I dashed over to him and readied my fists. "Rokuogan!"
"Counter Body." He said bored as I blasted him with my technique, smoke coming off of my fists. I panted heavily at the strain of it.
"Counter Shock!" I narrowed my eyes, now was my chance! I narrowly avoided the attack with a duck as I readied my finger.
"Shigan!" And I drove my finger into his stomach.
Everything paused for a moment, then I pulled my finger, dripping fresh blood, out of his stomach as he fell at my feet.
"CAPTAAAAAIN!" His crewmates yelled.
"Y-You...bastard..." He said through gritted teeth.
"...I figured it out." I said plainly. "There's a five second time limit after using that Counter Shock...where you can't use Counter Body." I glared at him. "So stop saying your Devil Fruit's perfect!" I jumped into the air and spun around. "Tekkai: Rin!" I slammed my leg heavily down on his head.
Only it was glowing orange.
"Say what you want, Nightmare...I have already won this fight! Counter Shock!" I leaned back to narrowly avoid the uppercut as I somersaulted backwards, landing on my hands and feet, now I just had to use speed and my new knowledge.
I pulled both my arms back. "Shiga-" Suddenly it felt like something clamped around my wrists, and I instantly felt weakened. 'C-Crap! Kairoseki handcuffs!' I felt myself being pinned down by more and more Keiroseki items, everything was fading, voices becoming distant...
"Goodnight, Nightmare." I heard Kobata say as everything faded to black...
Woooooah! Ellix lost!
Ellix: I DIDN'T LOSE! That bastard cheated with Kairoseki! I could have beaten him easily!
Say what you will, this Arc's not finishing as early as you hoped. Anyway, we have a new reviewer!
Ellix: Thank you, animefan!
About your question...obviously-oh, hold on. *Places earmuffs on Ellix.* Obviously Ace's death is a major point for Luffy, and inspires his two years training, plus, what would Doflamingo use as bribary and what will Sabo eat in the Dressrosa Arc? Of course I could be REALLY creative and make an alternative storyline...but you'll just have to wait and see! *Removes earmuffs*
Ellix: Did you say something?
Nothing...
To Thief-chan: There you go! Eri-chan's now in our Colour Spreads!
Ellix: That meat was all mine!
URUSAI! Be nice!
Ellix: Gomen, Eri-chan...
*Picks up Pichu Ellix* Look at this! Is this not the definition of cuteness? Look at it!
Pichu Ellix: Please help me, Eri-chan!
To HikariLight00: No problem at all! Thanks for reviewing again! They help me write more! Especially two!
Ellix: I have a question! Does she like meat!?
*Facepalm*
To TheRealEvanSG: No worries, Ellix was joking! RIGHT ELLIX!?
Ellix: Y-Yep!
Good...
To Zusenheim: Nope, it was allllll just a big coincidence!
Ellix: Yeah! Like how the authors cookie stash mysteriously disappeared!
*Gets out Gatling Gun* Run. Now.
Ellix: O-Okay! OPFan37 doesn't own One Piece! Not even HikariLight00's OC! Just this arc and the other characters in it!
I SAID RUN!
Ellix: AAAAAAAHHHHH!
