I own nothing. I thank Cup full of whimsy for helping me yet again.
Oh, and the Gamma102, Mattardis is doing his own original death battles and he already did Davy Jones vs LeChuck.
I thank everyone for the support they have given me, and I have an announcement to make. I am only going to be doing twenty original Death Battles, counting this one, with extra ones for the strawhat crew.
Straw Hat Death Battles
Luffy vs Gai – battle of the stubborn warriors
Zoro vs Erza – battle of the sword warriors, complete
Nami vs Lucy Heartfilia
Usopp vs Mine – sniper showdown.
Sanji vs Rock Lee – masters of the kicks
Chopper vs Beast – battle of the scorned doctors
Robin vs Kurapika – battle of the outcasts
Franky vs Adam Jensen – cyborg slamfest.
Brook vs Spinal – skeletal smackdown
Jinbei vs Kisame Hoshigaki
I changed Luffy's battle partner to who I think would be better, plus Gai in his red form vs Luffy's Fourth Gear sounds like it would be insane. For Nami, I went with a girl who deals with crazy people, and seems to be the most normal members of her team…or at least the one with the most sense. For Usopp, I went with the dutiful sniper who always manages to come through in a pinch. Sanji and Lee are both brutal martial artists who were both looked down on in their lives, but have risen to be considered powerful. And, personally, I can't wait to see Judge's face when someone finally breaks that maniacs' jaw. Chopper, I shouldn't have to explain. Robin and Kurapika were both assassins and outcasts in their respective world. Franky and Adam are both cybrogs and both have their main weapons located in their arms. Brook and spinal seemed like it would be fun, plus any chance to write a Brook moment is a delight. Finally, Jinbe and Kisame are both fish-like in appearance, and are nearly unstoppable.

That's because I feel that Kid's full power hasn't been shown. If they go into more detail I the show, I may spring this battle later.
Chapter 8: Battle of the Vampires Act 1
Everyone sat waiting for the next episode to load.
"So, what can we expect out of this episode?" Zoro asked.
Isom sighed and answered, "Well, it is going to be pretty scary. Expect terrifying imagery, lots of blood and gore, and…Chopper to have nightmares."
Chopper said, "Oh, we won't have to worry about that. We don't have to worry about vampires. I mean we have to deal with Brook…and the only scary thing about him is his bad bone jokes."
"Oh, Chopper," Brook exclaimed, "You've struck me down to the bone with your words."
Everyone rolled their eyes and simply ignored the laughing skeleton.
"I don't think that we have to deal with anything like that," Franky said, "Unless we happen to run into Moriah again."
Isom thought, 'Maybe I shouldn't mention the vampire model of the bat bat fruit…yeah, probably a good idea.'
Everyone turned towards the screen as the familiar music of Death Battle played.
Wiz said, "They have been a part of myths and horror for years. They have been given multiple forms…from suave charismatic gentlemen to people who view humans as cattle to mindless flesh hungry monsters…"
Boomstick cut off, "And…unfortunately, sparkly skinned emo kids."
As they spoke, they showed clips of the original Dracula, 30 Days of Night, Priest, and Twilight.
"Those first three sound kind of scary," Chopper said, "but that last one sounds kind of ridiculous."
Zoro said, "I have to agree with you, Chopper. That last one sounds kind of pathetic."
Robin said, "Is that supposed to be scary or enticing. It looks more like bad makeup job."
Franky said, "Yeah…that is super stupid."
Sanji said, "That's worse than Franky's Tactic 15 idea."
Franky turned towards the cook and said, "Hey!"
Isom said, "Yeah…those books and movie ruined the vampire genre for years to come."
Then he thought, 'Makes me hope they do Hellsing as a live action movie…and hopefully they do a better job than the Attack on Titan live action.'
"Damn that is stupid," Luffy said, simply.
Brook didn't answer as he was idly wonder who in their right mind would someone with sparkly skin was supposed to be scary.
Boomstick said, "At least we don't have to worry about that here, because we are going to be putting two of the best vampires against each other in a bloody battle to the death. Alucard…the brutal monster of the Hellsing Organization."
Wiz said, "And Dio Brando, the charismatic and cunning nemesis of the Joestar family. I'm Wizard and that's Boomstick."
Boomstick finished, "And we're looking at what these monsters bring to the table when in a Death Battle."
The doors closed and then reopened.
Wiz said, "There is word in London, England, of the Nightwalker. A man who walks through the shadows dressed in red leaving behind him a trail of blood and mutilated bodies."
Boomstick said, "Waits are we talking about a vampire or an enthusiastic Ozzy Osbourne fan? Cause that stuff got crazy. Trust me, I know."
"Who?" Luffy asked.
Isom answered, "Ozzy Osbourne was a musician who was known for doing crazy things on stage. Such as biting the heads of bats, snorting ants, and other crazy stuff."
Everyone looked at Isom with shocked and somewhat disturbed expressions.
"I…I have no idea what to say about that. No clue whatsoever," Brook said, unable to think of anything that had to deal with that.
"No…though he does look a bit like Ozzy," Wiz said, "He has gone through a lot of names over the years, but his favorite is his most recent one: Alucard."
Wiz pressed a button on his remote and a hologram of Alucard appeared. He was a rather tall individual with short black hair. He wore a charcoal black suit, with leather riding boots, wearing a red cravat, covered by a red frock overcoat with a cape. On his head was a wide and floppy brimmed fedora, and a pair of wire framed glasses, with heavily tinted orange lenses. On his hands were a pair of white gloves with a five-pointed seal on the backs of the hands. His glasses were pulled down around his nose revealing glowing red eyes, and his lips were curled back into an insane smile, revealing incredibly sharp teeth.
"Whoa, that guy looks creepy," Franky said, "If he's going for the scary idea he's got it down pat."
"Whoa," Luffy said, "Creepy."
Brook shuddered and said, "That smile chills me down to the bones."
Zoro didn't answer and just stared at Alucard. He could see the insanity in the man's eyes. However, it didn't really seem to be insanity, but rather a bizarre sense of power and being unstoppable, however, he could also make out something that surprised him. Sorrow…anger…what else was hidden there.
Brook simply took out her sketchbook and was drawing a cartoony version of the vampire.
Wiz said, "We don't know much about Alucard as a lot of his past isn't revealed…though we are given hints."
Alucard
Age: 568
Aliases: Way too many to count
Was once a girl during World War 2?
Wiz explained, "During the time of Ottoman Empire, Vlad Tepes fought against the Turks for god, believing that prayer wouldn't get a response, but actions would. He did so very well, until he was finally captures and prepared to be executed."
Boomstick said, "Yeah, apparently god doesn't talk to people who murder. Despite his prayers, he was set to die and got his head cut off. However, he apparently drank some of his blood in front of the executioner. Apparently, this turned him into a vampire…somehow?"
"Is…Is that really all it takes to become a vampire? Drink someone's blood?" Chopper asked.
Isom answered, "Actually it varies, depending on the mythos. You can be bitten by a vampire, you can be born of a vampire…a lot of things can make someone a vampire…or you can just have an allergy to sunlight and enjoy the taste of raw blood."
Everyone looked at the dimensional traveler and then simply turned their attention back to the show.
"From what we can tell, Vlad turned his back on the divine and then drank the blood on the ground from his freshly severed head turned him into a vampire."
Boomstick said, "Wait, I thought that…"
Wiz interrupted, "Boomstick, we don't know everything about vampires or how to become one as it changes from source to source, so just go with it."
Boomstick didn't say anything for a moment and said, "Yeah, okay."
Wiz said, "Anyway, now turned away from god Vlad took on a new name, Dracul, or as he would come to be known in the history books, Dracula."
Boomstick laughed and said, "And damn, did he go down in history. He slaughtered thousands of people. He went pretty much unrivalled for years. However, it came to an end when his servants were slaughtered, and he was brought down by a man named Abraham Van Hellsing."
As they talked, they showed various images of people with sharp teeth and red eyes swarming and slaughtering people, ripping people apart. Thankfully, there was no sound as it would have added to the terror. At the front of hit was a man wearing black armor with a dark red cape. Dracula.
Everyone stared in horror at the sight of the carnage all perpetrated by one man. Robin had brief flashbacks to the carnage caused by Akainu during the destruction of Ohara, and how he mercilessly destroyed the fleeing ships without so much as a second thought. She imagined him standing there, the people drowning and screaming as they were burned alive in magma.
Brook's jaw was stretched down to the bottom of his ribcage as she stared, his eyeholes blank, but one could only imagine the horror that would be seen if he still had eyes. He was very glad that the only vampire he knew was the guy from Thriller Bark who was nowhere near this strong.
Chopper imagined a more powerful and more vicious Wapol, standing around the corpses of his home on Drum Island, raining down blasts after eating the canon that was hidden away in the castle.
Zoro saw Mihawk, his red and an aura of madness and evil radiating off him as he raised a blood-soaked sword to the sky to attack.
Sanji wasn't reminded of a moment, but a person. He imagined his father, Judge, or rather a picture of him, in the painting of him standing over fallen kings. A painting the tyrant was incredibly proud of.
Franky imagined Rob Lucci, in hybrid form, standing over the deceased member of the Galley La company. A recently deceased Ice Burg clutched in his giant hand.
Luffy saw…well he didn't really imagine anything, but he could plainly see that Alucard was some seriously bad news.
Isom simply shuddered and thought, 'Even after watching this show, it seriously freaks me out whenever Alucard gets serious.'
Wiz said, "Fast forward close to the modern age and the Hellsing family had become guardians of their country of Britain through the Hellsing Organization, a secret organization that kills supernatural threats such as witches, vampires, zombies, or ghouls…"
Boomstick said, "Basically, they're like the CIA, except they hunt monsters."
"The who?" Brook asked, confused at the term.
Everyone turned to Isom for answered.
The traveler answered, "The CIA is short for Central Intelligence Agency. They were a group dedicated to finding information on those who wanted to do harm and stopping them. They usually worked in secret, wanting to keep people in the dark about treats, so to avoid mass panics. Think Cipher Pol, except less in your face."
Everyone wondered what this would be like. Everyone shuddered, even Brook who had heard about the fight against Rob Lucci and CP9, and imagined even one of them doing what Alucard did.
Boomstick then gained a thoughtful look and asked, "Wait…what exactly does Alucard have to play in this?"
Wiz said, "I'm glad you asked, Boomstick. You see several years later, the Hellsing family came under the leadership of Sir Integra, the next generation in a long line of Hellsings who lead the organization. Unfortunately, her uncle believed that he should be head of the organization, so he did what any sane man would do."
Boomstick cocked an eyebrow and asked, "Murder?"
Wiz answered, "Murder."
"He did what?!" Franky yelled out angrily.
Luffy snarled as he clenched his fists.
Sanji's legs, or the leg he could currently use, tensed at the thought of someone killing their relative for power.
Integra's uncle reminded them of Akuma in a way.
"However," Wiz continued, "Before he died, Integra's father told her of a secret weapon buried away. As she ran from her uncle and those who worked for him she found it, only to be surprised to find it to be a corpse. However, during the fight, some of her blood dripped down and got near the corpse, the smell revived it and it murdered Integra's attackers."
Boomstick said, "Dracula had returned and took a new name for this age. Alucard."
"Wait, so he serves the members of the family that defeated him?" Franky said, "That doesn't make any sense."
Boomstick then had a blank expression as he said, "Wait a minute. That doesn't make any sense. These guys put him in a death-like state and when he comes back, he works for them. What the hell?"
"See? He agrees," the cyborg said, crossing his arms.
Robin said, "I'll admit, it does seem strange."
Luffy said, "He's an idiot."
Sanji yelled, "You have no right to say that!"
Wiz said, "Alucard does this out of a mix of respect and entertainment. He respected the original Van Hellsing for his skill in taking him down. Plus, he gets to kill things daily, so at least he's entertained."
Boomstick said, "Yeah. Anyway, now awakened form an epic nap, Alucard began working to kill all the monsters that got in his way, and he did a damn good job, especially with two of the most badass hand-cannons of all time."
Boomstick started pressing a button, only nothing happened.
"Hey, what gives?"
Wiz chuckled, drawing Boomstick's attention. He then motioned for Boomstick to follow him. The two left the room. Soon, the arrived in a room filled with gel torso's and targets. There was a small table with a tarp over it.
"What is this?" Sanji asked.
Isom smiled and said, "A new feature. Watch."
Wiz motioned to the room and said, "This is the target room. Since there are many different weapons in these battles we decided to add a little something. We can only use more modern weapons, so we're a little limited. However, we are still able to make these."
Wiz pulled the tarp of the table. Boomstick gasped as he saw the objects.
"Are…are those?" he asked, looking excited.
"Go for it," Wiz said.
Boomstick cheered as he ran towards the guns. It was mainly silver handgun with a brown handle and black writing on the barrel.
He picked up and help the first one aloft, though with a small amount of difficulty.
Hellsing ARMS .454 Casull Auto
-Semi-automatic magnum pistol
-based on M1903 and M1905 pistols
-custom melted cross silver bullets
Boomstick said, "Like I said, He's got some awesome guns. The first of which being the .454 Casull auto magnum pistol. This puppy fires 13mm rounds, custom made with a core of melted cross silver from the Manchester Cathedral."
Robin nodded and said, "Good idea, according to myths, vampires are weak to crosses and in some legends, are weak to silver."
Boomstick then turned towards the targets. He tried to aim it, but had trouble holding it. He then pulled the trigger and winced as a loud bang filled the room. Boomstick dropped the gun clutching his now injured hand, the recoil of the powerful gun hurting his hand. The bullet missed the target, but left an impressive hole in the wall.
Boomstick grimaced and said, "Unfortunately, the gun itself is so powerful that only Alucard with his incredible strength can handle the recoil. Ow."
Boomstick shook his hand to get the feeling back.
"Holy shit," Sanji said, "I don't think even Luffy would be able to shrug those off."
Luffy nodded. He could shrug off normal bullets sure, but something like that would really hurt.
Brook gulped at the thought of those things coming at him, as did Chopper who felt phantom pains from the bullets that hit him when he first appeared to the people of Drum Island.
Robin simply looked on in shock.
Boomstick then picked up the second gun and held it aloft. As composed to the other, this one was completely black, with the words, "Jesus Christ is in Heaven Now", written in white.
He explained, "And when Alucard was faced with a man who could shrug off the bullets of the Casull, he had this puppy made, to add some extra fire power. The Jackal."
The Jackal
-Semi-automatic pistol
-Made to be used in conjunction with Casull
-13 mm rounds, blessed Macedonian silver casing and explosive mercury tips
-Secret explosive device
Boomstick was about to fire again, but Wiz stopped him. He looked at the scientist confused, before he was handed a metal glove. The gun lover put on the glove with a nod, before aiming. He fired and found he could withstand the recoil now. With a smirk he unleashed hell until the bullets ran out.
Wiz turned to the camera and, to be heard over the gunfire, yelled, "While Alucard has been seen reloading, he is seen taking down dozens of targets without reloading his gun, making me wonder if the clip is even necessary or if he just pulls the bullets out of thing air with his vampire powers."
Boomstick finished shooting and said, "Yeah, that is definitely some real vampire shit going on there…also makes me wish I could do that with my guns."
"Okay, now I know Luff wouldn't be able to survive that," Sanji asked, "but who the hell is Anderson?"
Isom answered, "Alexander Anderson was Alucard's rival. The only man who could match him in combat due to his regenerative powers."
Chopper then thought of something and said, "Hey, Franky, don't you have to reload your weapons, because I haven't seen you do that."
Franky answered, "Oh, I just have a lot of ammo stored up in my arms. I usually reload after every major battle."
Wiz and Boomstick were now back on the main stage.
The gun lover cleared his throat and said, "While Alucard has some awesome guns, he doesn't use them much…at least not right away. He likes to play with his targets, making them despair before he murders them with his various vampire powers. And by various, I mean he has powers coming out of his ass!"
Vampiric Powers
Enhanced Strength, Speed, Reflexes, and Endurance
Regeneration
Hemokinesis and Hematophagy
Intangibility, Darkness Composition
Shape shifting
Extrasensory and Supernatural Detection
Gravity Defiance
Telepathy
Hypnosis
Weather Control
Daywalking
Immortality?
Wiz said, "Due to the years of occult research and his own experience, Alucard is insanely powerful! He's strong enough to tear humans apart with his bare hands, fast enough to dodge bullets, and can react fast enough to catch them in his teeth, when he doesn't go intangible, and can withstand all kinds of damage. And if you do hurt him, he'll regenerate in a matter of seconds!"
They show a clip of Alucard getting pelted with bullets and shrugged them off, regenerating moments later and killing the men in a gory manner.
Everyone stared at the screen and realized something horrifying. This guy seemed to be virtually unstoppable. They imagined him coming to combat them and being slaughtered mercilessly.
Boomstick said, "And that's only him in his weakest state. Alucard has seals on him which restrains his power. When these seals are removed, he gains a massive power boost. He can detect supernatural events, read minds, hypnotize people, control the weather, defy gravity, and a whole bunch of other shit! Hell, Alucard is so powerful, that even if he's in sunlight, it doesn't affect him, despite being a vampire Jeez! No wonder this guy has done so much."
Feats
Regularly shrugs off mortal wounds
Survived as a corpse for several centuries
Survived being impaled by holy weapon through the head
Regularly kills large groups of people with a smile on his face
Wiz said, "He regularly shrugs off wounds that would kill a normal human. He caught a magical bullet in his teeth, survived crashing a speeding jet, and can easily kill an army on his own."
Chopper shuddered in fear at the thought of running into this man. Noticing his fear, Robin reached down and picked up the reindeer setting him in her lap. She then proceeded to calmly snuggle him as a way of comforting him. The small reindeer smiled as he snuggled back into Robin, just under her impressive bust.
Sanji growled, but kept his cool knowing how their doctor could get when he was scared.
Zoro felt a pang of jealousy, but squashed it.
Boomstick said, "Holy crap…is there anything that can stop this guy? We think so."
Weaknesses
Holy items
Zero form?
Wiz said, "So far, the only thing that has made Alucard flinch was a holy weapon or artifact, and those are pretty hard to come by."
Boomstick said, "So basically, he's immortal because he did shrug off a holy weapon going through his skull."
"He's unstoppable then?" Sanji said, "Seems a bit, what did you say about Sora, moss head, hax?"
Zoro said, "Yeah. Seems kind of Hax."
The others agreed. That did seem unfair.
Isom said, "Hey, easy. Logia fruit users are thought to be unstoppable, but Haki and sea prism stone can hurt them."
That nodded, making everyone wonder what could kill Alucard.
Wiz said, "Actually, he's not. In Alucard's own words, there is no such thing as an immortal. If you keep Alucard from drinking blood for a long period of time, it will put him in a coma-like state. This is the same method Abraham Van Hellsing used to imprison him all those years ago, staking him through the heart after killing all his familiars and servants. However, Alucard seems to only have this weakness when he is at restraint level zero, his strongest form."
Boomstick looked at his cohost and said, "So to kill this guy, we would need to get Alucard at strongest?"
They show a clip of Alucard fighting the Vatican and Millennium in his armored form as a flood of darkness filled with eyes and ghouls rising from them.
Wiz said, "I think I would just prefer the safe method and just get the hell out."
Boomstick nodded and said, "Ditto."
It was simple to say that the crew was incredibly disturbed. Alucard was incredibly powerful and brutal. The fact that he was nearly invulnerable and virtually immortal didn't work for them. The thought of fighting Alucard in a fight to the death was terrifying.
However, there was one thing that really got them all thinking. Who on earth had the strength to fight him?
Everyone turned as they saw the screen.
The doors closed and reopened.
Wiz said, "Evil…it comes in many forms. But can one be born evil? Is it a result of a person's environment? How they were raised or what they learned?"
Boomstick said, "Way to get all philosophical on us Wizard. However, all I know is that this guy is rotten to the core. Back in the late nineteenth century England, Dio Brando didn't have a good life."
Wiz said, "True. Born to the notorious criminal Dario Brando, and a nameless mother. Dario horribly abused both his wife and son, until his wife committed suicide. It was in that moment, that Dio began to move forward with his evil…by slowly painfully poisoning his father."
Sanji immediately felt some sort of kinship with Dio. He remembered the anger and resentment he felt for his father after his mother died, as well as being abused and abandoned by him at a young age. However, it ended when he learned he poisoned his father. Sanji may have hated his dad, but he would prefer to just pretend his father didn't exist.
Chopper too felt some kinship, being ostracized by his own parents, and then kicked out of the herd after he ate the human-human fruit. Though, like Sanji, he drew the line at murder.
"However," Wiz said, "it turns out that Dio wasn't a mindless killer. He had a plan in mind. You see, years before he was born, Dario came across the wreckage of a carriage. Dario attempted to rob the supposedly dead man, but was surprised to find him alive. The man, George Joestar, believed Dario was attempting to help him, and now owed him a great debt…and was immediately proved wrong when Dario was arrested for trying to pawn off the George's wife's wedding ring…and then stupidly let him go."
Wiz said, "George though that this one act of kindness would be enough to make Dario change his ways, but he was dead wrong, if Dio is anything to go by."
Chopper asked, "Why? Why would he do that? Why would George just let him go after he tried to pawn something so precious?"
Robin sighed and said, "Sometimes all it takes is an act of kindness to make someone change for the better."
She smiled as she remembered Luffy saving her from the tomb in Alabasta.
Then she frowned and added, "But sometimes it isn't enough. People are just too set in their ways."
The others all nodded and returned to watching the show. Leaving Chopper to think.
"With his father dead," Wiz continued, "Dio was taken in by the Joestar family, where he would meet his future rival Jonathan Joestar, and immediately set out in his plan to claim the Joestar fortune for himself."
Boomstick said, "At the same time also made himself out to be a huge dick by jabbing Jonathan in the eye during a boxing match, attempting to ruin Jonathan's standing amongst his friends, and stealing his girlfriend's, Erina's, first kiss."
Wiz said, "However, this didn't have the effect he wanted. Instead of breaking Jonathan, it made him stronger. He stood on his own two feet, and laid the groundwork for what would become one of the greatest rivalries in fictional history."
Boomstick said, "With his plan in tatters Dio decided to rethink his plan, and decided to wait. After…killing Jonathan's dog in revenge. Okay what the hell!?"
Everyone was shocked at the outburst.
Isom said, "Hey, you don't' pull that kind of crap with man's best friend. Even Boomstick knows that."
Boomstick yelled, "You do not pull that kind of shit with man's best friend. You do not! I swear once Wiz finishes that teleportation device of his I will-"
Before Boomstick could finish his rant, Wiz pressed a button on his remote playing a clip.
"I'll beat you until you cry like a baby Dio!"
Jonathan then proceeded to wail on Dio until he fell back with a splatter of blood coming from his mouth and nose.
Wiz turned to his cohost and asked, "Better now?"
Boomstick took a few breaths to calm himself and answered, "Yeah."
Isom smirked and said, "One of my favorite moments of that season."
Luffy said, "Hey, do you think we can watch that on here?"
Isom shrugged and said, "Maybe. If I feel like it."
Luffy huffed as he turned back to the show, though he was glad to see Dio get his but kicked.
Wiz said, "Moving on from the subject of dogs, Dio would spend the next several years slowly trying to bring his plan to fruition, growing stronger and stronger as the years rolled by. I mean…look at this guy."
Wizard pressed a button and showed an image of Dio. This Dio was clearly older than in the clip. He was tall and muscular with messy, unkempt, shoulder-length, blonde hair and gold eyes. He wore a black bodysuit, which showed off his massive muscles. Over the suit, he wore a gold orange jacket and pant legs. Around his neck was a green necklace with heart motifs, elf shoes and a heart themed circlet on his head and heart shaped pads on his knees.
Dio Brando
Species: Vampire
Age: 123
Country of Birth: Britain
Insane ego maniac
Battle Cry, "Wryyyyyy!"
Wiz said, "Dio's plan was simple. He would poison George Joestar and take control of the family fortune. However, Jonathan wound up stopping his plans by exposing him as the monster he really was. In a last-ditch attempt to stop him, Dio grabbed a stone mask."
Boomstick looked at camera and said, "Now, I know what you're all thinking 'Wizard, what does a stone mask have to do with anything'?"
"That is a good question," Franky said, "What does a stone mask have to do with anything?"
Brook said, "Yes, it seems quite random."
Isom said, "That mask had a big impact the show, not only in this part of the show, but on a later seasons. He'll tell you in a moment."
Boomstick said, "Well, I'll tell you. Millions of years ago, some crazy powerful beings evolved alongside humans, but they were bigger and stronger. Think the difference between dogs and wolves, but on a much bigger scale. Anyway, one of them made a special stone mask that would unlock the secret potential within their bodies, however it only worked on humans."
Wiz said, "And somehow it turned them into vampires by stabbing into their brains."
They show a clip of Dio putting on the stone mask, applying some blood to it, and spike shooting out of it and entering Dio's skull.
"Oh my," Brook said, "That stone mask punches right through bone…I wonder-"
Chopper said, "I don't think it would work on you Brook, because you don't have a brain…because you're a skeleton."
Brook became depressed and said, "Don't steal my line, Chopper."
Zoro said, "If it works because of the brain, then I don't think it would work on Luffy, either."
"Hey," the rubber man yelled, slightly indignant.
Wiz said, "With this new power, Dio proceeded to slaughter the cops who were sent to arrest him, and murder George Joestar. He was, however, stopped by Jonathan, and left to die in a burning building. Unfortunately, he survived and proceeded to start creating an army of zombies with his new vampire powers in a bid to take over the world."
Boomstick said, "And he's powerful enough to do it."
Everyone leaned in, wondering what he could do.
Vampiric Powers
Inhuman speed, strength, and senses
Regeneration
Vaporization Freezing Technique
Fusion of other creatures
Flesh Buds
Space Ripper Stingy Eyes
Teleportation
Healing
Boomstick said, "As a vampire, Dio has enhanced strength, speed, and senses, can teleport in the darkness, and can regenerate from wounds, and he can drink blood to speed up the process. He also has some abilities that stick out, like healing the wounds of others, fusing other creatures together like a monstrous Victor Frankenstein, and can control people with either hypnosis or with flesh buds, pieces of his hair which turn into mind controlling parasites…it's just as disgusting as it sounds."
Wizard said, "There is also an ability Dio has that makes him incredibly deadly. Before his final battle with Jonathan, Dio learned of the Ripple."
"The ripple?" Zoro asked, "Sounds like a fighting technique."
Sanji asked, "Maybe it's a weakness of his, like sunlight.
Boomstick asked, "What do tiny waves in water have to do with a vampire dying?"
Wiz said, "The ripple is an effect, caused by hamon, a mystical energy harness by breathing."
They show the clip of Baron Zeppeli standing in a river harnessing hamon, causing a ripple effect in the river, then punching a frog, shattering the rock beneath it, leaving the frog unharmed.
"Cool," Luffy and Chopper said with stars in their eyes.
Sanji imagined doing something like that, combining hamon with his Diable Jambe. He imagined fighting against the male members of CP9 with his legs flaming more than normal and beating them down single-handedly, and Robin and Nami running into his arms, wanting to share him as his own personal harem girls. We then leave Sanji's mind as I don't want to be in there longer than necessary.
Everyone else imagined their attacks being enhanced by hamon.
Wiz explained, "This energy can be harnessed by humans and can be used to destabilize Dio's body. However, like I said, Dio can counter it with the vaporization technique. By freezing his blood to subzero temperatures, he can absorb heat from anything he touches, freezing it."
Boomstick said, "And if that isn't crazy enough, he's also go the Space Ripper Stingy Eyes, which is the stupidest name for laser eyes, I have ever seen."
Wiz said, "Well, it isn't so much lasers as it is the fluid in Dio's eyes being put under unbelievable pressure, and being launched out his pupils, but yeah it is a stupid name."
Luffy laughed and said, "Damn that is stupid."
Everyone laughed at the rubber man's words.
Boomstick said, "Yeah, unfortunately, Dio failed in his bid to take over the world, and was soundly defeated by Jonathan ins his castle. However, as the ripple was destroying his body, Dio survived…by severing his own head!"
They show a clip of Dio's head fighting Jonathan on a ship.
"What!?"
Sanji said, "Okay, how powerful is this guy? This is getting ridiculous. He's like a Zoan user with the abilities of a logia type."
Everyone shuddered at the thought. Unknowingly, though, a certain member of the whitebeard pirates sneezed a few hundred miles away.
Wiz said, "Now only a head, Dio, with the help of a servant of his, hunted down Jonathan, who was on the way out of his country, and attacked him in the hopes of stealing his body, and succeeded. However, in the process Jonathan died, the ship sank, and Dio was stuck at the bottom of the ocean for a hundred years."
Boomstick said, "Damn, that was one well-made coffin to survive down there. I know what I want to be buried in."
Wiz said, "Now a hundred years later, Dio reemerged more powerful than ever, his link to the Joestar family giving him a new power, the stand."
They show an image of a humanoid being. It was tall and muscular, much like Dio himself. What skin it had seemed to be black, but most of it was primarily gold. On its head was a headpiece that covered its face to just below his nose, and slanted at a deep angle so it peaked at the back of his head, looking like an inverted triangle. There were two diving cylinders on its back, connected to the headpiece via two cables, and secured with a pair of rigid straps running from the rear of the waist over the shoulders to the front. On the back of both of its hands, were, what resembled, clock faces, and its chin, knees and crotch had heart-shaped caps on them. Finally, it's shins and foots wear had curved shoes like Dio's.
"That is one weird looking thing," Luffy said.
"What the heck is a stand anyway," Sanji asked, taking a puff on his cigarette.
Zoro said, "Stop asking questions, and they'll probably tell us."
Wiz explained, "The stand is the fighting spirit of warrior. Stands can appear naturally, or be influenced by other things. In truth, they act as a sort of guardian and ally in combat. Each stand is unique and has its own powers as well as a unique name. In Dio's case, his is called The World."
Boomstick said, "So a ghostly body guard, and I would really like to have this one as my guard, especially with what it can do.
The World
User: Dio Brando
Abilities: Super Strength, Speed, Senses, Precision
Unique ability: Time Stop
-limited to nine seconds
Chant: MUDA, meaning useless
Wiz said, "While we've only seen small amounts of what The World can do, we do know that it can match, and even surpass the stand Star Platinum, used by the descendant of Jonathan Joestar, Jotaro Kujo."
Boomstick said, "This means that it's fast enough to break the sound barrier with its punches, precise enough to pluck bullets from midair, and strong enough to smash through the giant teeth of a sea monster that were supposedly as hard as diamond."
Wiz said, "While these are Star Platinum's feats, it is given that the World is capable of overtaking it indicates that it is more powerful."
Boomstick said, "Not only that, but Dio's ghost bodyguard has one more awesome ability. It can stop time!"
"The World!" Dio yelled.
Suddenly, everything froze as the sound of a clock's ticking slowing down was heard. Everyone and everything around him froze.
"He can stop time!"
Everyone stared in shocked. In battle, a few seconds could be all it takes for things to turn in the fight direction. It took merely a few seconds for a wound to reopen and inflict pain on someone, or a moment is all it took. If someone could freeze time, he could have all the time in the world.
Wiz said, "Yes. The World's special ability can freeze time, but only for a couple of seconds. In that time, Dio can move around freely, and he makes use of his enhanced strength with an apparently endless supply of throwing knives…or just to mock and straight up murder someone."
Boomstick said, "Yeah, if that's not enough Stands can only be seen by stand users and can only be touched by other stands. In other words, this dude has the most bad ass ghost as a body guard. Wait…does that count I mean we don't allow help?"
Wiz explained, "Well, the Stand does represent one's fighting spirit, so it is an extension of the user, so it counts as a weapon and not outside help."
Weaknesses
Stand injury
Hamon
Ego
Wiz continued, "However, Dio is not unstoppable. While his freezing ability can stop hamon is can be stopped with metal weapons, or as Jonathan proved fire."
Boomstick said, "Also, Dio's stand is kind of a double-edge sword. Any damage that Dio takes, The World takes, and vice versa. This is best seen when Dio died at the end of Stardust Crusaders after taking a brutal strike to the leg that, somehow caused his head to explode."
"Wait, what?" Chopper asked, "That doesn't make any sense. How the hell could that work?"
Isom simply turned to the reindeer and answered, "Just go with hit little buddy. Don't try to bring logic into this…just let them do it."
Wiz said, "This also brings us to a small weakness to Dio's time stop. It is not automatic and must be consciously activated, meaning he can be hit by surprise attacks before the time stop can be activated."
Boomstick said, "There's also the fact that he's batshit insane and an egomaniac. Although, he kind of backs up the big talk."
Feats
Survived being burned alive
Survived as a severed head
Nearly killed the Stardust Crusaders
Had a lot of kids, despite being insane
Wiz said, "Dio has proved to be cunning, using a natural charisma to bend people to his will…though some hypnosis probably never hurt. And his durability is shown. He's survive being buried alive in a burning building, and survived a hundred years at the bottom of the ocean in a coffin, withstanding a lot of pressure."
Boomstick said, "He's even had a hamon infused sword split his head in half, and he just nonchalantly put his head back together, while taunting Jonathan. This is one vampire you don't meet."
Everyone looked between each other as they thought who would win.
Both the contestants terrified them, and their abilities were way over the top. They could withstand a lot of damage and could dish out several times the amount they could take.
After some debate, everyone wanted Alucard to win. While he was savage and cruel he was at least, a good guy…somewhat.
"Alright," Wiz said, "We have the combatants set, and the arena ready. It's time to end this debate."
Boomstick said, "It's time for a vampire death battle!"
The doors closed and reopened.
The image shows Cairo, Egypt. Dio sat on the throne of his mansion as he waited for the crusaders to come. He was fully prepared for this, feeling in the Joestar blood of his stolen body that they would eventually come for him.
"Soon," he monologued, "soon I will put an end to the Joestar family, and then my reign over the world will be unrivalled."
Dio was brought out of his maniacal thoughts when the sounds of gunshots got his attention. Suddenly, the door was thrown open and Alucard walked with with all his glory.
"Who are you supposed to be?" Dio asked.
Alucard simply said, "I have no reason to answer to a dead man."
Zoro said, "Cool entrance and even cooler comeback. I may end up using that one."
Sanji scoffed and said, "Of course you would, moss head."
Dio said, "Tell me. How many loaves of bread have you eaten in your life?"
Dio approached and posed menacingly, the kanji for menacing appearing around him as he declared, "That is the amount of people I have killed, how many lives sustain my body. You cannot hope to defeat me. An attack dog who answers to some pathetic and cowardly master!"
Alucard simply drew his guns and said, "Well, I wouldn't say I've eaten bread, but I've eaten a lot over the years, and if I'm an attack dog, then you're about to become a pile of dog shit!"
Dio chuckled and said, "By all means...try to take a bite!"
Everyone got ready for the fight.
Fight!
Alucard aimed his weapons of choice and opened fire. Alucard moved between the bullets easily walking slowly and with purpose. A quick and close collection of bullets caused him to activate the time stop. He plucked the bullets out of the air and held them between his fingers. Just as the time stop ended Dio launched the bullets at Alucard, who tanked each impact to his chest and was knocked backwards to the ground.
Dio rushed in and unleashed a brutal barrage of punches on the prone Alucard laughing maniacally as as he picked him up and threw him out the window.
Dio laughed as he pulled knives from his coat and declared, "Checkmate."
The sound of the time stop was heard before a huge wave of knives appeared, surrounding the still airborne Alucard. The knives then smashed into him sending him falling. The sound of Alucard's body hitting the ground as Dio grinned evilly.
"You though you would be victorious?!" he yelled, "But was the victor! Me! Dio!"
"If I had a dollar for every time that phrase was used, I'd be a very rich man," Isom muttered to himself.
"For some reason that does sound like it would be iconic," Usopp said, "or at least used a lot."
The sniper then took up a stance and declared, "You thought that you would be victorious, but it was me! Usopp!"
A few of the crew members chuckled before Isom stood up, walked over to Usopp, grabbed him by the front of his overalls, and yanked him close to him.
"Never...ever...do that...again."
With that, Isom sat and resumed watching with Usopp sitting down a moment later.
The blond madman walked away from the room, but stopped when he heard a growling. He spun around just in time to see a huge shadowy hound with a multitude of eyes snarling and drooling.
"A stand?" he asked, as he summoned The World.
The hound launched forward with the intent of tearing him apart. It went right through the stand, showing it was no stand. Dio simply grinned as he was bitten into, and dragged out the window and slammed into the ground.
Robin said, "This does not bode well for Alucard. His powers don't seem to be able to injure The World."
Brook said, "Oh my. The sight of Baskerville is frightening. I feel as though the beast would use my bones for toothpicks."
Isom thought, 'I almost forgot what happens when Brook meets the Minks.'
"Like I said," Alucard said mockingly, "You're dog food."
Baskerville threw the blond into the air and attempted to eat him, only for him to vanish from sight. Alucard raised an eyebrow with a surprised look before a shadow over came him.
"It's a road roller!" Dio yelled as he brought down on top of him with a loud crunching sound.
Dio then summoned The World and both started punching at it crying out their battle chant as they did.
"MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDA!"
The World drew its arm back and unleashed a brutal punch with a final, "MUDA!"
The punch destroyed the gas tank on the piece of construction equipment. Dio leapt back before it exploded. Dio landed with scowl on his face. This character was stronger than he thought. He clearly wasn't a stand user, but he was dangerous no doubt. Dio watched the burning road roller. He wanted to confirm that his opponent was dead this time.
Suddenly, a mass of shadows tore through the piece of heavy machinery, reducing it to scrap. Dio ripped a nearby street sign out of the ground, arming himself. Then the voice of his enemy filled the air.
"I am...the bird of Hermes."
"Here comes level zero everyone," Franky warned.
Chopper and Usopp both gulped as did Nami. Even if they knew what was to come the idea was unnerving.
Suddenly, a huge flood of blood erupted from the center shadows, catching Dio by surprise and sweeping him up in the flood. Dio finally managed to get up and landed with a grunt. He threw away his bloodstained jacket, showing off his muscled arms. Dio's eyes widened as he saw zombies leaving the blood and Dracula stood in the center in his old form from his time.
"What the hell are you?!" he declared, sounding shocked and somewhat scared.
Alucard simply smirked and said, "A real fucking vampire."
The zombies charged forward, as Dio and The World, unleashed blows. Dio swung his sign decapitating multiple zombies and braining in a few more, as The World rained heavy punches shattering bones and sending blood and bites of muscle in different directions.
Dio was then jumped from behind as a zombie sank its teeth into his leg, even more showed up jumping on him, biting and clawing. Dio growled as he used his powers to freeze them and then shattered them like glass. He then grabbed a random zombie and used its blood to enhance his healing powers becoming fight as rain in record time.
The straw hats flinched as they saw the zombies ripped apart and Dio using them to heal himself. They had thought that Alucard had the destructive vampire and his full power would be enough to defeat Dio, but it looked like they wrong.
Seeing this, Alucard formed long limbs of shadows and charged forward on them, running at Dio with a roar. Seeing him coming, Dio threw the street sign like a javelin striking him the chest, just to the right of his heart. Alucard sent out a psychic push that launched Dio backwards into a skyscraper construction sight. Dio stopped himself with The World.
Dio unleashed another barrage of knives. However, Alucard was ready shooting as fast as he could, taking many of them out of the air before charging at Dio. Using his psychic powers, he lifted up an I-beam and brought it down on Dio like a sword. Dio dodged the swing and picked an I-beam and the two wound up fighting a duel with them.
The straw hats were all tense. It looked like it was anyone's fight right now.
Finally, Alucard closes the distance and tackled Dio. The no life king flew up brutally slamming Dio into everything that he could on the way up. However, Dio used his freezing powers again, reducing his arms to frozen flesh before Dio tore them off with a sadistic laugh.
"Is that the best you've got!?"
Alucard's arms reformed from shadows, as he shoved one of his guns into Dio's mouth saying, "Chew on this, monster!"
Alucard unleashed a barrage of bullets before his arms froze over again, then his legs and stomach. Alucard tore himself from Dio's grasp and began to focus on his powers, blood in the streets began to rise into the air towards him, intending to absorb more souls. Meanwhile, Dio's body healed before he saw the moving blood. Realizing that would be problematic he activated the time stop again, and powered up the Space Ripper Stingy Eyes.
The blond vampire roared, "Wry!" as he unleashed the blast a full power completely incinerating the blood just before the time stop ended, triggering a massive explosion.
"Holy crap!" Franky yelled, "Those laser eyes pack more power than we thought."
Chopper said, "Wait...that was the army of souls...Alucard doesn't have any more lives left!"
Alucard stared down in shock at the sight of the destruction.
"Useless!"
Alucard was then aware that Dio was behind him, just before the mad vampire shoved his entire fist through Alucard's chest and destroyed his heart before ripping off his head, and just to make sure the job was done, unleashing another blast of the SRSE point blank, destroying Alucard's body.
K.O.!
Everyone stared in awe a the sight of the destruction of Alucard and his brutal death, as well as Dio proclamation of godhood.
Dio landed on the ground blood and ash raining all around him as he let out a victorious, "Weep in the the afterlife no life king, and sing praises to your new god! WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!"
the doors close and reopened.
The two split screens shows Integra staring out the window, and the other shows the shocked Stardust Crusaders and an angry Seras.
Hearts formed in Sanji's eyes as he said, "Who is that lovely lady."
Isom answered, "Seras Victoria, a woman who became a vampire after Alucard turned her, and no Sanji I doubt she would be interested, seeing she already has a lover...at least I think pip is a lover."
Broomstick said, "That was probably the bloodiest fight we've had hear at death battle...can't wait till the next one."
Wiz said, "There was a lot to cover in this fight. Alucard was a monster on the battlefield, but Dio had what he needed to take down the no life king."
Boomstick said, "While his guns were awesome, Alucard's main weapons were useless. Dio's vampire mask transformation didn't turn him into an unholy monster, so the holy bullets wouldn't mess up his healing abilities. And while Alucard's healing powers are utterly ridiculous, they too have a limit."
Wiz said, "Dio's healing factor is comparable to Straits, another vampire, who was blown to pieces and pulled himself back together seconds later, so it would mean that Alucard would have to pull out all the stops. Unfortunately, this wound up being more nails in the coffin."
Boomstick said, "Yeah, those zombies Alucard summoned are filled with blood, so any damage Dio took from those zombies could be dealt with pretty quickly."
Everyone agreed with this. Alucar'ds healing abilities were insane, but given that Dio could enhance his healing abilities with the blood of others gave him the leg up he needed to match it. They also blinked as they had no idea about Straits.
"Who was Straights?" Name asked, feeling that he might have been an important character."
Isom answered, "Straits fought with Jonathan Joestar in the fight with Dio, but grew to covet the power of the stone mask after the original had been destroyed. However, when more masks were found Straits stole one, killed the team who found it, before hunting down Joseph Joestar, Johnathan's grandson, during part 2."
The group felt sad, Luffy was reminded of what Ace had told him about Teach, and how he had killed a crew member. In his mind Straits was one of the worst people imaginable.
Wiz said, "Remember those stupidly named laser eyes? Those lasers didn't just cut through stone, they split the very sky."
Boomstick said, "It turns out, splitting clouds takes a lot more power than you'd think. According to Wiz to move the clouds like that, Wiz says that it would need over 10 megatons of TNT to do it!"
Franky yelled, "Holy crap! It takes that kind of power to move clouds? I wonder if I could make something like that."
Franky was suddenly bonked on the head by Isom who declared, "If you even think of making a WMD, and you will wish the sea train had flattened you."
Wiz said, "And we haven't even gotten to Dio's main weapon...The World."
Boomstick said, "Yeah, The World is regarded as the strongest stand in the world and for good reason. It's comparable to Stone free and Star Platinum, wielded by Jolyne Kujo and Jotataro Kujo. The latter can move at nearly light speeds to keep up with Silver Chariot, and and Stone Free can knock meteors out of the air!"
Predictably, Sanji started gushing over the sight of Jolyne, however, that was replaced with shock when they found out that her stand was fast and strong enough to punch out meteors.
Wiz said, "Judging by the distance the meteors are from Earth, they would have to be moving around 11 million meters a second. With the mass we see, they would be hitting with 441 kilotons of TNT!"
Boomstick said, "Damn! Though, not as crazy when you can punch at light speeds. With the eye beams blowing away all his extra lives, it was down to Alucard himself, and he had nothing that could match the power of The World."
Wiz said, "Alucards greatest feats were catching a magical bullet in his teeth and withstanding the explosion of a massive jet he crashed. Given the fact hat the magic bullets were what shot down Alucard's jet, and the distance they moved from the boat they were on to the jetthey would be moving nearly fifteen hundred times the speed of sound. And when Alucard jack-knifed the ship that shooter was on, with the weight of 170,000 pounds must have hit with over 11 tons of TNT."
Brook said, "I feel compelled to ask, why would he do that?"
Isom answered, "A mad woman named Rip Van Winkle took over the boat to lure Alucard out to the ocean, so a massive attack could be unleashed on London."
Boomstick said, "That's about the size of large a massive ordnance air blast, but nowhere near Dio's light speed punches or meteor mashing might!"
Wiz continued, "Alucard's third eye can't allow him to see evil spirits or ghost and even if it could, he could not harm The World, and Dio by extension, as it can only be harmed by other stands. And Dio didn't even need to target Alucard's heart specifically as one barrage from the world could turn his entire body into mist! And even if he wanted to get specific, Alucard's third eye wouldn't protect him from mind control as it needs to be activated."
Boomstick said, "And we aren't even factoring in the time stop ability. In other words: Dio's far superior speed, strength, and crazy powers, gave him what he need to leave the no life king with no lives left."
Wiz said, "Alucard had no chance and got Di-owned."
Boomstick chuckled and said, "Not bad."
Wiz smiled and said, "The winner is Dio Brando."
Everyone looked upset as they saw this.
"Hey, Isom," Chopper said, "I have to ask something. Given how Dio was a big part of a lot of the parts of Jojo...did he appear in any more?"
Isom sighed and said, "Dio had a terrible legacy beyond part 3. In part 4, Diamond is unbreakable. His flesh buds were stuck inside of a man when he died."
Zoro said, "That sounds weird out of context."
Isom continued, "After Diio died, the man mutated and turned into a hideous abomination. This lead to his two sons, one of which was a major protagonist in the show, to start shooting people with a. stand arrow to find a stand that could kill the man and put him out of his misery, which is what kicked off the arc. In part 5, Golden Wind, we meet Dio's son Giorno Giovana, who took over the mob in his town to help protect it and keep out other foul influences. And in part 6 stone Ocean...well...Dio finally realizes his goal."
Everyone looked at Isom in shock.
"Dio didn't just want to rule to world. He wanted to bring it over heaven. Where people were able to make their own choices. This lead to Dio's followers going through with his dream...and rewriting the entire universe...and from there on out it just gets weird...well weirder."
Franky said, "Oh come on. it can't be that weird. I mean look at some of the stuff we see here."
Isom blankly said, "Dio comes back later as a horse-riding dinosaur, in a race across America against the president of the United States, to find the body of Jesus."
Everyone stared at Isom with shocked looks and simply decided to stay silent. The craziness of this series could not be overstated.
Isom chuckled and said, "Yeah, when I heard that part I had that same face."
Next time on death battle…
There was happy sounding music as a brown mushroom creature, and a yellow turtle with a green shell walked forward towards each other.
Wiz and Boomstick looked at the camera with looks of bewilderment
They were both before Boomstick facepalmed and said, "This is going to suck so hard."
Everyone looked confused as they looked at each other, wondering just what those strange creatures were and wondering just why Boomstick said it was going to suck.
Isom said, "Now prepare for creatures that are going to leave you even more confused."
ICut! Okay glad that is over. Now I know a lot of you have probably seen the battle and are wondering why I didn't include Heavenly Ascension Dio and The World Over Heaven. Well, Cap Full of Whimsy considered it and saw that those are not considered canon, they are just from a what-if if Dio hadn't died during Stardust Crusaders. Anyway, the battle was one sided, but Dio didn't make it easy for him.
Anyway, we have our first joke battle next. Flames will be ignored, criticism is welcome and, I know it is a few days early, but happy Halloween.
