The ninja hero was looking at his unique adversary, a skeleton with a nice suit. Definitely the strangest enemy he has ever faced. The person didn't have a single mark of skin or flesh and yet was still talking and breathing. Today was really a strange day for Edgeshot.
''You are in serious trouble mister.'' Said Edgeshot
''I don't mind the trouble, but you and your friends caused a great disturbance in our piece and I can't let this happen.' Said Brook all calm.
The ninja hero was all ready for what kind attack that this strange man mind expose to him to it but is good to always be prepared for all kind of attacks that this skeleton might bring.
''So you are here to fight me?" Asked Edgeshot
''Exactly.'' Said Brook with a smile
''but you know that in the end you are going to end up in jail.'' Said Edgeshot
''Only if I lose which I don't pretend to do. Yohoho'' Said Brook
The skeleton and the ninja were now in battle position and ready to see who will draw the first strike.
''Well this is pleasant is been a while since I had a fight so I think you will be an interesting choice.'' Said Brook
''You are the leader of that group?' Asked Edgeshot referring to the straw hats
''I´m sorry but no. I am just a simple musician, Luffy-kun is the captain actually.'' Said Brook
''Is that boy your leader?'' Asked him
''Well yes Luffy-sama is the man that I am destined to follow for the rest of my immortal life. I wasted so many years stuck in one place and that man is going to lead so many into a great future.'' Said Brook
Edgeshot was now a little hesitant about all that. He didn't know what Brook was talking about, but it couldn't bee good. Whatever this Luffy kid plans was it couldn't be good for the Hero society, so he must be stop at all causes.
''Since you confirmed that boy as your leader than he will be the one to get the most punishment.'' Said Edgeshot
''You are not capturing Luffy.'' Said Brook all serious.
''I can't do nothing about that. He is a threat so society.'' Said the ninja
''Well really? So, I guess I have to stop you.''' Said Brook pulling his sword.
That was the last straw for Edgeshot, now is about to get serious
''Let's see who is faster in this competition.'' Said Brook
''A challenge.'' Said Edgeshott
''You see I look up you in the interest and you are considered one of the fastest heroes of the country. I am right?" Asked Brook
''Yes, that is correct. In terms of speed I only loose to All Might.'' Said Edgeshot.
''Well I don't know about you, but my speed can surpass even the ones of the likes of you.'' Said Brook
''Are you saying that you are faster?" Asked Edgeshot
''Maybe.'' Said Brook
''You are brave enough to challenge me skeleton. I give you that.'' Said Edgeshot getting ready
''And you are a very cool hero, so fighting you will be a pleasure. Once I defeat you, I promise to put you in one of my melodies.'' Said Brook taking out his swords.
Edgeshot was now a little pissed of the top 10 heroes he was the one that always remained the most calm (always tying with Best Jeannist) and he wasn't going to let this skeleton walk away free.
The two man than start to run toward each other and trade blows against one another. It was so fast that the average human eye couldn't see it. Was something incredible to see, if a person was filming that fight, he would see nothing because the two were so fast that their punches and attacks were almost impossible to record.
''He is fast!'' Thought the two at the same time.
While the ninja and the skeleton kept trading attack they decided to went back to regular pace because doing that super speed was something that could make both of them die from tired.
''You sure are fast my good sir.'' Said Brook
''I study hard in the art of stealth. My quirk Foldabody while at first not very useful was trained by the right master that made me realize that I have the potential for greatness.'' Said Edgeshot.
''So you are saying that your powers wasn't always this great?'' Asked Brook
''Correct. I trained hard to get the tittle of number 5 and you see why.'' Said Edgeshot using his quirk as an advantage to attack Brook. He was so fast that the skeleton couldn't see him.
''What! You are so fast that my eyes can't track you. Oh, wait I don't have eyes. Yohoho.'' Said Brook with a laugh
''I can work with taunts like that. But in a matter of seconds you will be defeated.'' Said Edgeshot.
''Oh yeah. You might use ninja techniques, but I use Souls techniques to fight.'' Said brook revealing little souls flying by his side.
''You use souls. That could be something related to your quirk, but that doesn't matter because I am about to finish you up.'' Said Edgeshot
''what are you about to do? Stretch yourself so much that you will be all over me?" Asked Brook
''Yes!'' Said Edgeshott all serious
Soon Edgeshot went to attack brook in all the direction possible. Luckily using his Observation Haki the musician managed to block every single attack by an inch. It was a hard task and it got even worst when Edgeshot use his super move.
''Ninpo Thousands Sheet Pierce.'' Scream Edgeshot
The skeleton made his best attempt to dodge the attack and missed for an inch. That ninja was no joke, Robin should have told him that.
''That was close.'' Thought Brook as he runs away;
''You can't hide from me. You might not have nerves to pierce but you are not invincible.' Said Edgeshot
''Of course I know that, but I use all the strength that I have on myself to defeat the likes of you.'' Said Brook all serious
Edgeshot raised an eyebrow over that argument. For a while he wanted to find an adversary wise and noble, not some average punk. As random and weird as that can be that skeleton with an afro was the most noble villain he has faced in a long time.
''He is interesting.'' Thought Edgeshot following Brook
Brook took a step back and raised his sword. He aimed directed at Edgeshot
''Aubade Coup Droit'' Scream Brook and that blast was strong enough to make Edgeshot go back to his natural form and look at Brook in amazed
''That was an impressive attack.'' Said him
'Of course it is. This blast is strong enough to destroy a very powerful wall.'' Said Brook all serious
Edgseshoot then took a pose and was ready to use his quirk to the maximum
''Time to end this!'' Said him preparing his limbs
Brook saw the thousands of mini attacks direct toward him, he was dodging and blocking every single attack. It was like it didn't pass a second and he had to block something and when it appears that it was all over Edgeshot was not even tired.
''Thank goodness my hair is still intact from all this.'' Said Brook checking out if his afro was ok.
''I am not near from finished.'' Said Edgeshot
''Me neither. Time to bust out one my secret weapons.'' Said Brook tooking something out of his suit.
However instead of real weapon, the skeleton took out…
''A violin?'' Asked Edgeshot confused
''Now. Nemurita Flanc.'' Said Brook playing a melody
The melody was so calm and so peaceful that could make even the most blood thirsty man fall asleep in the floor, which was the case for Edgeshot
''What is going on?'' Asked Edgeshot
''My music is so calming that can make anyone fall asleep.'' Said Brook still playing
''How can this be happening? I trained myself to endure the most difficult and horrible types of torture.'' Said Edgeshot trying so hard to make himself be awakened.
The ninja was ready to hit the day when suddenly in a burst of electricity he got himself awake and took Brook violin from his hand. In less than a second.
''WHAT!" Scream Brook in shock his beloved instrument gone from his hands
''You´re an excellent musician but this is your last verse.'' Said Edgeshot tossing the violin out.
''but how did you managed to wake yourself from that melody? Even marines have a hard time.'' Asked Brook
''being a ninja, I trained to sustain all the types of obnoxious sound in existence and always keep peace and tranquility in myself. If I didn't have that I would have bailed out from that team up a from day one.'' Said Edgeshot all serious and cold but Brook found that….
''Oooh that is so cool!'' Scream him.
Brook then saw that in his moment of goofiness Edgeshot was ready to strike him down, luckly he had time to pick his sword and block the ninja attack.
CLICK
''Dammit.'' Said Edgeshot
''Hey that wasn't nice!'' Scream Brook
''I´m not here to be your friend.'' Said Edgeshot
''Why that just rude. First off you try to attack me and my friends because Luffy-sama beat that rude kid and now you try to attack me out of the blue.'' Said Brook all angry
''you think I want to do this? This is my job; I made an oath to protect Japan.'' Said Edgeshot all serious
''Our world aren't that different. He has the same style as a marine toward justice.'' Thought Brook.
Brook then took out his sword once again and was ready to strike down.
''I am not going down. So prepare yourself ninja, I will give you a last lullaby.'' Said Brook
''We will see who will keep standing after this.'' Said Edgeshot
Edgeshot used his quirk to attack brook in all kind directions while the musician using a sword with haki plus his advance speed made things also complicated for the ninja hero who had to attack and dodge at the same time.
''He keeps using his sword in angles that I never even tried before.'' Thought Edgeshot
''I have to be consistence. This is my only hope.'' Thought Brook
Both men kept attacking and hitting each other in various points in their body and after a whole 10 minutes passed both of them looked at each other all tired and with marks all over their bodies. But only one thought remained.
''He still standing!'' Thought the two
Edgeshot was now at the point of no joking around. He put himself in a serious position as he was ready to use his special move in Brook to capture hm
''I may end this fight right now.'' Said him as a menacing aura was cast in the ninja hero body.
''Wait! What is going on?" Asked Brook in horror
''This is my super move. It took me a whole year to master that. Once is use there is nothing in my path that I can't hit and knock it. Not even the most toughest of heroes can survive this.'' Said Edgeshot all serious.
''Oh no please.'' Scream Brook in total fear.
''You fought well skeleton. I shall see you in prison one day. Nino: Strike of the pierce heart!'' Scream Edgeshot using an attack so big that it looked like a huge gust of wind was ready to strike down brook. Only worst is that this gust of wind would cut him in almost 10 million places.
''aaaaaah!" Scream Brook in horror.
As the epic ninja got close Brook looked like he had no other choice as the gust of wind that was edgeshot pass through him.
The ninja hero stood at the other side of the battlefield victorious. With a sense of honor in his chest as he defeats the skeleton
''It ends now.'' Said Edgeshot
''Actually no. Its the end for you.'' Said another voice which he soon saw it was brook standing right next to him
Edgeshot was now baffled. If Brook was hit by his attack he should have been paralyzed and tied up, but he was standing right in front of him.
''How did you manage to escape that attack. Anything in my path would have been cut in a matter of seconds!' Scream him in horror.
''Actually, it was pretty simple. I managed to dodge.'' Said brook all calm
''But how?'' Asked Edgeshot
''Now…you should keep your eyes more close mister ninja. You never know what might pass by.'' Said Brook
''Huh?" Asked Edgeshot
Edgeshot didn't know but thanks to Brook unique physic and lack of any flesh and muscles, it was a little easy for the skeleton dodge all of the attack. It took him a hard time, but he managed to dodge every single one of the ninja attack and get out of that without a scratch. Edgeshot on the other hand.
''Did he…?" Asked Edgeshot in shock as he saw Brook sword was being put back in at his possession
''Kasurituta Fubki Giri!''
Crink
As Brook said this attack was difficult to plant in edgeshot due to the ninja super speed but it was successful. Soon the cut happen and Egeshot felt like a huge knife had just passed into his chest making him bleed.
''Argh!''
The ninja soon drop uncouncious to the ground. Defeated.
Brook stood there with a serious look at the defeated hero. He didn't want to this but this people wanted to arrest him and his friends so they had to do something. Hopefully Luffy-kun would understand all this.
''You were a worthy an opponent. If we were at the same side, I would call your friend. I wish you well if you recover. '' Said Brook
After tying up Edgeshot to make sure he doesn't escape Brook receives a call from his cellphone.
''Hello.'' Said Brook
''Brook did you defeated your guy?" Asked Franky
''Yes, I have. It was epic battle, I will a whole melody later but in the meantime, he is defeated and unconscious.'' Said Brook
''Well you better go to the place that Robin marked. We are finished to these clows, lets get our liberty back.'' Said Franky
''don't worry Franky. We will do just that, and they will know to never mess with the Straw-Hat pirates ever again.'' Said Brook
''Ok.'' Said Franky
''I just wish that our captain will understand all this. I hate lying to Luffy but we had no choice.'' Said Brook to Franky
''don't worry bro. We will explain to him and have a nice meal later. We will later have a group picinic in park as celebration wouldn't that be nice?" Asked Franky
''yes, it will be.'' Said Brook liking the idea.
''You have to admit that Luffy is not an idiot, but if was him doing this we would be running to the next country to be save.'' Said Franky
''Yes, this world population is every pirate and marine worst nightmare. They aren't as powerful as devil fruit users, but they are close.'' Said Brook
''Let's just hope that everything will be fine and if it doesn't than they will have to face the wrath of Luffy. See you later bro.'' Said Franky finishing the call
''Alright.'' Said Brook
Brook then put Edgeshot on his shoulder as he run toward the location marked, where him, Robin, Zoro and Franky would have a little chat with a certain president.
''You were a good fighter. I hope someday to have a drink with you and have a chat before we leave this world.'' Said Brook to the unconscious hero
As brook run, he hoped that things would turn for the best for the Straw Hat side as he dashed toward the location where the next action would take place.
And we are finished with the fights of the heroes against straw hats. A huge part of me wanted to make these fights because the next ones will be more focus with Luffy, Zoro and Sanji fighting the next people. The rest will fight but I wanted to make some of the others straw Hats have a chance to shine. We are almost done with this Original arc and soon we will start the Hero killer arc, see you all later.
