Chapter 24: Take Down the Tower! Annabel and Dimo vs...!?
Colour Spread: Dreams are made of Bliss-The Strawhats are all sleeping on rainbow coloured clouds, whilst dream bubbles float over their heads. Luffy's pictures himself eating lots of meat, Zoro's shows him drinking sake and training, Nami's shows her with Berri signs for eyes surrounded by money. Usopp's shows himself being praised by servants as a mighty warrior, Sanji's shows himself surrounded by ladies with heart eyes and twirling legs, whilst Chopper's shows a winter island with snow made out of cotton candy. Robin's shows her back on Ohara reading with everyone, Franky's in front of an awesome mechanised Sunny, and Brook playing with his old crew and Laboon. Eri's shows her playing with Luffy, Ace and Sabo as children, finally Ellix's shows him eating with Oren and Marcus, with four shadowed figures behind with question marks for faces.
"Get out of my way!" I shouted as I decked another guy in the face before continuing to run towards Ship 7. "Stop hiding and fight me, Kobataaaa!"
I looked ahead of me to see some guy lying in a crater. 'Who the hell is that?'
He shakily stood up and held out a hand. "Stop...I am Lock, and I shall not let you-"
"MOVE!" I just kicked him in the stomach and sent him flying. "KOBATA! Get out here!"
With Thom and Catherine...
Thom and Catherine lent against the cooler, basking in its cold air. Both were covered from head to toe in burn marks and injuries, and sweat poured down their bodies like waterfalls. Strahg stomped threateningly towards them, covered in injuries (though significantly less then his opponents) unburnt and unaffected by the heat.
"Ya brats shoor can take a beatin'. A'll give ya that." Strahg scoffed. "But if ya dan't fall from ma fightin', you gonna run outta watar and git roasted alive!"
Thom just smirked. "I don't intend to go like that, but you can give it your best shot!"
Strahg growled in his throat. "Yar beginnin' to piss ma ooff ageen!" He made a swipe with one of his giant arms again, but the two leapt away in time. Then he grabbed the cooler.
"What are you doing!?" Catherine shouted.
"I'm gettin' rid a this sa ya gonna burn up good an' proper!" He roared as he ripped the cooler straight out and threw it at the two, luckily Thom managed to smash it with a Haki kick just in time.
"Hahaha! Now yur good as cooked!" He roared triumphantly as he chased after them, continuously smashing the ground where they previously stood.
"Great! Now we really COULD get cooked!" Thom said.
Catherine, however, was more focused on where the cooler previously stood. A pipe was flailing around, shooting frosty air out that was quickly overpowered by the immensely heated atmosphere. "Thom, distract him! I have a plan!"
"Gotcha." Thom nodded as he jumped into the air, his fist and Strahg's clashing yet again, and being equal thanks to his downward momentum. Whilst Catherine made a break for the cooler pipe.
"Yar upta sumthin'!" Strahg yelled as he made a dash for Catherine.
"Not so fast!" Thom dashed in front of him and kicked him upwards in the chin, throwing his head back before Thom tried to punch him again, but the disproportionate man blocked him and threw him away.
Catherine reached the pipe and shoved her hands inside it, draining the frost energy. "Whatevar ya doin', I wan't let ya da it!" Strahg shouted as he pulled back a giant fist.
Thom jumped over and tried to punch him, but he just blocked with his other arm. the Haki user then swung a jet black leg around and smacked Strahg in the face with it, knocking him away.
"Alright!" Catherine nodded as she took her hands out. "I'm ready! Frost..."
"Graaah!" Strahg roared as he charged at her.
"...Fireworks!" Catherine shot comets of frost out of an icy orb in her hands which shot around the room, covering everything in white smoke.
When the smoke cleared, the whole room which was previously red and boiling was now cool and blue, coated with frost, including Strahg.
"Wh-What is theese?" Strahg stammered. "Wh-Where's ma streength?"
"Looks like your weak from frost." Thom smirked as he cracked his knuckles. "Armament Hardening!" Both of his fists turned jet black. "Take thiiiis!" He jumped forward and swung both his arms back.
"Why yaaaa!" Strahg said, but he couldn't lift his heavy arms with his weakened muscles.
CRACK!
Thom's swung arms connected with Strahg's face, sending him off as a spinning projectile straight into the wall with an explosion, where he layed with blod runing down his face and several missing teeth.
The two victors breathed heavily for a minute, before sighing in relief and allowing their bodies to collapse. "We did it." Catherine gasped as she took in big gulps of cool air.
"Yeah...hah...he wasn't so tough." Thom smirked.
With Annabel and Dimo...
Finally the two reached the top, Dimo returned his pictures to his notepad as Annabel looked around.
The top levels walls were made entirely of glass, arranged in a dome shape, and as expected, a giant revolving light was in the centre. "This is it." Annabel stated as she strolled up to the light with her scythe slung over her shoulder.
"Ellix-samaaaaaa! Are you here beiiiiing?" Dimo called out.
Annabel swund her scythe around and jumped up, slicing the top of the giant light and sending sparks flying everywhere. Soon afterwards the light flickered, stopped spinning, and died out.
"Well, that's that." Annabel smiled. "C'mon, Dimo. We're leaving."
"To you I say yes. The here is not having Ellix-sama." Dimo groaned with over-the-top disappointment.
"Hold it.." The two froze and turned, seeing a figure sitting on top of the broken light.
"Wait...your Quinn!" Annabel shouted.
"One are you that was having the torturing of Ellix-sama!" Dimo yelled with his rage face.
"You remember me..." He said, hopping down from the light, revealing two scabbards at either side of his waist. "Of course someone would come for the lighthouse, basic strategy..."
The odd duo readied their weapons. "So, your gonna try and kill us?"
He stared at them with cold eyes. "Not try, will." He drew the two swords, one with a white blade, the other with a black blade. "Now fall...before my Nitoryu."
The two got into battle stances and prepared themselves.
"Nitoryu: Soin Iguru!" He flew across the ground with both swords outstretched.
Annabel however placed her scythe head on the ground and stamped on it, as soon as he got close she swung on the pole and kicked him in the stomach, making him cough up a little spittle.
"To you I say Hi-yaaa!" Dimo shouted as he pulled out a karate chop hand chopped him away with it.
Quinn instantly recovered though and sheathed both his swords. "Nitoryu: Futaga no atama Ryu!" He forecfully unsheathed them and slashed, sending two waves in the form of dragon heads and necks at the two.
"Go! CUCKOO CLOCK SHIELD OF ULTIMATE DEFENCENESS!" Dimo pulled out a giant cuckoo clock and used it as a shield, blocking the attack.
"Moonlight Crescent." Annabel swung her scythe in a crescent arc, sending a purple moon shaped air wave at the dragon which cancelled it out.
"Nitoryu: Hamono Kage!" Quinn didn't give them time to recover as he jumped into the air and suddenly vanished.
"Nani!? Where did he go?" Annabel asked as he scanned the area.
Dimo pulled out a pair of violet binoculars and looked around, until he screamed. "Ahhhh! Unimportantling! He is attacking the having of behindness!"
"Behind us!?" Annabel gasped, pushing Dimo and herself back with the pole of her scythe just as Quinn sliced the places they previously stood.
"Impressive..." Quinn complimented Dimo. "How did you figure out where I was?"
"You were having the still possessioning of a shadow, against the roof of darkeningness for the disdisadvantage." Dimo explained in a complicated manner.
Quinn nodded. "Ittoryu: Sashi-Fu." He suddenly dashed at lightning speed at Annabel, she barely had time to block as Quinn's white sword stabbed the pole of her scythe, whilst his other blocked Dimo's attack of an eloborately painted bo staff.
"Your precision is impressive...Nitoryu..."
"Crap!" Annabel yelled as she and Dimo jumped away.
"Kaiten Suchiru!" He suddenly spun at a phenomenal speed, slashing both of them three times and smashing them into the floor.
"I suppose that is that..." Quinn sighed as he sheathed his swords and began to walk away.
"Petal Dagger!"
"SUPER TORPEDOE OF FAST AWESOMENESS!"
Suddenly a thin pink air wave stabbed him in the back, as well as a small torpedoe, throwing him into the wall with an explosion.
"Tch, please. You think we'd give up from one attack?" Annabel asked, standing fine.
"If you are having that thinking, then you are the foolish brat who eats vegetables that are stupid!" Dimo shouted randomly.
Quinn stood up in the debris smoke. "I let me guard down..." He stated, before running towards them.
"Serene Ripple!" With a sideways slicing arc, Annabel threw out an expanding thin air wave, like a ripple in a pond. But Quinn jumped to avoid it.
"Ittoryu: Sairento Kiri!" He gently grated his sword along her scythe, which was quickly followed by a heavy compressed air slash.
"Ngh!" She grunted as her knees threatened to buckle from the force of the surprise push.
He then jumped towards Dimo. "Nitoryu: Supairarusukuryū!" He spun at him with his two swords like a screw.
"To you I say leapfrog!" Dimo yelled as he pulled a purple kangaroo out of his notepad, which he jumped into the pouch of as it hopped over the attack.
"That's a kangaroo, not a frog." Annabel sweatdropped as she threw off the air wave.
"Seeing the differences I am having the notness." Dimo told her plainly.
Quinn stood up once again. "This is dragging on...Nitoryu..."
Annabel prepared herself as she held her scythe over her head, leaving her vulnerable.
"Daibingusōdofisshu!" He jumped into the air and dived down at her with both swords pointing forward in a stabbing motion.
"Half-Crescent Reversal!" She gave a half-hearted swipe, but the quickly threw it back upwards, a screeching clang of metal was heard as Quinn was thrown back.
"Having the tastiness of this!" Dimo shouted as he pulled out an oversized hot sauce bottle and squirted the dark red content all over Quinn.
"Gaaah!" The man screamed as the hot sauce burned him.
"Looks more like cooled down lava then hot sauce." Annabel stated as Dimo stood beside her.
Quinn stood up once more, angrily wiping the hot sauce off of him. "Damn you!" He hissed.
Annabel suddenly hit her palm with her hand. "Hey! That could work!" She bent down and whispered in Dimo's ear, giving him his big smile.
"To you I say yes! We shall be having the doing!" Dimo nodded.
She dashed forward and jumped high into the air.
"Nitoryu..." Quinn started. "Kaze o Wataru!" He sent two crossing air waves at her, which she just blocked. So instead he aimed for Dimo. "Nitoryu: Shureddinguhōn!" Both swords became coated in a red aura as he held them blades forward at his side.
Dimo, meanwhile, pulled out an oversized green baseball bat and pulled it back. "To you I say..."
"Ahhhh!" Quinn shouted as he charged.
"FOOOOOOOR!" Dimo shouted as he smacked him straight in the gut with the bat, making him drop his swords, cough up blood, and sending him flying into the air.
"Alright!" Annabel held up her scythe. "Razor Cut!" She swung her scythe down at the speed of light, stabbing Quinn in the stomach with the point and smashing him downward into the ground.
Annabel landed next to Dimo and wiped the sweat off her brow. "Phew, he was kinda tough."
"But now the sandwich of victories is ours for the eating!" Dimo cheered.
"Hold on..." The two turned back to the smoke and readied themselves as Quinn stood up. "I am not finished yet...I thought I wouldn't have to use it, but..." He glared at the both. "I will show you...my ultimate fighting style!"

I've actually got Pokemon fanfics and one Fairy Tail fanfic as well! Congratulations on joining! Also, don't worry about Specter and Roy, we'll be hearing from them in the next chapter!
To TheRealEvanSG: Thank you so much! I LOVE writing the battle scenes, their my favourite part! I like re-reading them and imagining it in a different animation style. Like the first time I read it I imagine the battle in Movie 4 style, but then I read it again and imagine it in Movie 9 style! If that makes sense.
To Thief-chan: Thanks for the clothing info! My special project will be starting as soon as I'm done with my Omatsuri Island fic. Also, I'd like to ask about different reactions from Eri-chan, such as her finding out Ellix and Nami are sweethearts.
To Zusenheim: Your a tough one to get to hate aren't you? I'm kidding! I'm kidding!
To Exile037: Ohhhh yeah, things are gonna go DOWN! Pretty damn hard too.
So then, thank you for reading, reviews are always appreciated!
