The Voyage of Sarukenshi Ch 30
*Crazy to think we're at 30 chapters already here's to many more.*
*With the chaos of the CP9 agents surmounting even more with the addition of a Pacifista and Feral Giants which are being intercepted by the Amazonian Trio of Layna, Asuna, and Hydragnea the latter of which is struggling a bit to apprehend her giant opponents without killing them as she is leaping and dashing around the herd of Giants trying to swing and dive toward her with mouths agape attempting to chomp down on her*
Hydragnea: Huff..huff hyup! Gotta admit this is quite difficult trying to gingerly defeat such large foes. HYDRA NO! *Hydragnea's Yonda is about to plunge it's fangs into a Feral Giants leg when he halts hearing her voice* No biting we can't kill them! *Just then Hydragnea gets grazed in the ribs by a large foot causing her to trip over herself then roll backwards onto her feet* I'm alright! No biting ok!? *The Yonda nods it's head in agreement then slinks itself around three large legs at once and constricts causing 3 Giants to fall over allowing Hydragnea to dash forward and take a large haki infused slash across their ankles* Great work Hydra! Now let's keep that momentum going! *Hydragnea leaps onto the top of Hydra's head and they ride off toward the rest of the Giants meanwhile a few feet away Layna and Asuna are attempting to fend off this Pacifista, Asuna seems to have a excited look on her face*
Asuna: Hey Pacifista! *The Pacifista focuses its gaze on Asuna* Layna and Asuna vs Pacifista Game of 100 hits start!
Layna: Wait what kind of game is this sis? *Layna utters in confusing as she jumps away at the Pacifista's punch then follows up with a swing of her snake bow at its elbow causing it to punch into the ground and at that moment she sees a small number 1 hover above its head.
Asuna: Nice job sis only 99 more to go and this guy will get super damaged! *The Pacifsta then raises its hand then points at Asuna*
Pacifista: Finger Pistol.
Layna: ASUNA! *SHUNK* gyagg *Layna dived toward Asuna to shove her out of the way of the attack but takes a puncture wound to her right shoulder Layna then rolls onto the ground then fires off two arrows in response toward the Pacifistas left leg one of which plunges into the shin the other misses as it lifts it leg out of the way in time*
Asuna: No sis! I'm sorry I wasn't..
Layna: Don't worry about it just focus. More importantly what the hell was that. *Sarukenshi is seen glancing over at the ladies fight perplexed then looks at Nero who has a pleased look on his face as he lunges at him with a spinning windmill kick but Sarukenshi stomps down with a haki coated front kick blocking and knocking the kick away*
Sarukenshi: Care to explain your giddiness there. I suppose that device on the Pacifista's head is what allowed it to use that move just now?
Nero: Well well you catch on pretty well for a low level pirate whelp! IRON MAIDEN *Nero pounces onto Sarukenshi and wraps his arm and legs around his and squeezes* You're not going anywhere now heh and since this is checkmate I'll fill you in on the special unit we have there. You were correct with those image storeplicator the Pacifista are able to watch and input data of fighting styles or replicate movements as it stores it in its memory banks allowing it to unleash a few of the six powers techniques.
Sarukenshi: Huh somehow I can appreciate that ingenuity and quick learning. Speaking of learning, I think you need to re learn a crucial part of battle.
Nero: Oh and what would that be? *Nero tightens his grip on Sarukenshi who grunts a bit but takes in a deep breath*
Sarukenshi: Always keep note of your surroundings and utilize them to your advantage. *Sarukenshi then leaps at an angle into the air*
Nero: You think leaping around like a scared Lapin will free you from my grasp!? Shahaha
Sarukenshi: Did you know this island has a tree that stores up so much energy from the sun that it must release that energy all at once to continue proper functioning? *Sarukenshi says this as he continues to jump further backward*
Nero: I don't need a botany lesson from a dead man.
Sarukenshi: Oh I think you do but u seem like a Huuup *Nero squeezes more* hands on learner *Sarukenshi squats deep than launches into the air and lets himself flip over slightly during the hang time then slowly a ray of light can be seen shining at the two coming from a tall bright neon green tree trunk with 4 large translucent green frond like leaves that open to show the bright yellow light pulsing and then gathering into a large beam of energy that shoots toward Sarukenshi who manages to fully flip over having Neros back exposed to the beam which collides and begins to burn and singe his clothes as well as his back*
Nero: EYYYYAAAAAHH *Nero releases his grip on Sarukenshi and falls onto his back and scrambles onto his feet* ahhh that burns!
Sarukenshi: Heh time to turn this around! *Sarukenshi dashes toward Nero with his hand in a knife shape* SHAVE! *Sarukenshi then disappears and reappears behind Nero and delivers a quick chop to the back of his neck* Impulse Interference!
Nero: Ghaa…*He stumbles forward a bit* You think a pitiful attack like that is enough to stop a master of the six po…WHAT!? *Nero for some reason has raised his right leg backward and his left arm is outstretched* What is the meaning of this?! *Nero is seen attempting to regain control over his body as if nothing he does is according to his will*
Sarukenshi: That would be my Impulse interference, essentially I've inhibited your brains ability to properly send its electronic signals to your nerves thus throwing your nervous system out of whack, allow me to knock those senses back into you. *Sarukenshi cracks his knuckles while his hands slow blacken with haki*
*Meanwhile off in the lake at the base camp Franky and Pietro are seen doing some modifications on the Sunny. Franky is welding a piece of metal while Pietro is tightening a pip with a wrench when he stops and pokes his head off to the side of the ship and notices some rustling in the bushes and trees by the edge of the lake*
Pietro: Yo Franky has the snail gone off at all?
*Franky looks over at the transponder snail he placed next to him on his bench which is silent*
Frank: Nah been chill as the water on this lake why ya ask?
Pietro: Cuz I think we're gonna have some company…what the? *Through the brush comes Kyubuki's paper soldiers charging toward the Sunny with great intensity* alright then guess I'm on guard duty.
Voice: Do not worry yourself with such small fry Sir Pietro let us handle this, COMPANY ENGAGE THE ENEMY! *Suddenly from the crow's nest of the ship and out of the cabins Asuna's Toy soldiers burst onto the shore and collide with the paper soldiers and start a massive melee*
Pietro: Well never mind at ease Franky looks like our security detail can handle this.
Franky: They sound pretty fired up!
Pietro: They sure do..I wonder if that means Asuna is in a fight too.
Franky: Well if she is that would mean the others are as well which means…I sure feel bad for whoever is dumb enough to challenge Luffy and Sarukenshi.
Pietro: Heh took the words right out of my mouth budd by the way this section is done.
Franky: Perfect I'm about done here too let's get the finishing touches going. *Meanwhile back at the main battle Hitodenshi and Dorobotsu are dealing with their Slimy adversary however the two seem to be arguing and looking a bit haggard or at least Hitodenshi does*
Dorobotsu: Look I am trying my best it's not my fault he keeps zipping around us like that!
Hitodenshi: Well if you would stop spewing your acid randomly you'd hit him instead of me!
Dorobotsu: oh you think my aim sucks!? Well how bout this! *Dorobotsu starts running around Hitodenshi gushing a green substance that slowly eats away at the dirt making a deep circle around Hitodenshi then stops in front of him and the two begin shouting again*
Skalesca: Phohohohooooo this will be my easiest double kill ever NITRO NAUTILUS FULL IRON CASING! *Skalesca rockets toward Dorobotsu and Hitodenshi intending to slam his Iron body and harden shell straight into them his momentum is halted a bit though as he rolls briefly into the trench left by Dorobotsu's acid*
Hitodenshi: Finally! *Dorobotsu morphs into a light blue substance and then wraps around Hitodenshi in an instant in response Hitodenshi claps his hands together catching Skalesca and slowly his spinning grinds against Hitodenshi's palms then stops* Shark Grip Blade catch! Now we've got you HRRRRAAAA!
Skalesca: Ahhh lettt gyooo of meeee! *Skalesca's large shell begins to crack on either side then shatters revealing the Medium height man crawled into a ball falling onto the ground with some blood dripping down his forehead slowly mixing with his pink and yellow eye shadow* AIEEEEEE Moon Walk! *Skalesca leaps away through the air then lands a few feet away near some scattered boulders* Huff huff I nearly lost my compooosuree there butt you won't be able to beat thiiisss foormm *Skalescas body begins to change his limbs grow and his body becomes more slender and his long hair morphs around his head making a weirdly shaped hairdo similar to a conch shell and his abdomen burst through the jackets buttons revealing a small pink shell appear around his stomach* No more holding back on you two…you did some good damage I will admit that *Skalesca leans over to one of the boulders next to him and then*
Hitodenshi: What are you doing with tha…*Skalesca then chomps down on the stone and leaves a large bite mark and is seen chewing away then swallows*
Skalesca: Ah much better good source of iron *Skalesca head stops bleeding as he wipes away the dried blood out of his hair* Now then I shall repay you twofold *Skalesca then rolls into a ball then a large shell emerges out of his back and engulfs him and begins to spin and launch toward Hitodenshi*
Dorobotsu: *He shifts around to only appear as a head on Hitodenshi's shoulder* Ok that's freaky!
Hitodenshi: I wouldn't cast that stone dude.
Dorobotsu: Better than eating it speaking of, look out!
Hitodenshi: No worries he may have healed but that hit must have shook him he's slower than before HAA! *Hitodenshi claps his hands together again catching the shell and stopping it short* You're getting sloppy Slime boy!
Skalesca: On the contrary. *Skalesca slips out the small opening of the shell than quickly reappears behind Hitodenshi* It is you who has lost your edge Iron Body now Shell Salvo!
Dorobotsu: DITCH THE SHELL QUICK! *Dorobotsu uses his the blue substance on his arms to stick to the shell and flick it away from Hitodenshi but it explodes and sends shrapnel toward them Hitodenshi puts his arms in a cross guard to block his face but his torso gets pelted and cut up by some pieces of the shell some lodged in his leg spurting out some blood* Ah jeez that's not good*
Hitodenshi: Hrrrag 1000 BRICK FIST *Hitodenshi spins using his back foot and attempts to deliver a powerful punch at Skalesca who jumps away at the last moment before swinging his leg up in a quick front kick*
Skalesca: Tempest Kick Tortoise Twist *A slow but large air slash that's as tall as a tree crawls toward Hitodenshi carving through the grass and dirt in front of them*
Hitodenshi: An attack this slow won't reach me.
Skalesca: Shave! *Skalesca quickly appears at Hitodenshis back once more but this time reading his hand in a knife like motion* Snail pistol! *Skalesca's hand manages to pierce Hitodenshi's shoulder then he steps back and opens his mouth* Snail Slicker! *Suddenly a stream of the slime that he used on Kassie gushes from his mouth shooting straight at Hitodenshi* Now you'll be stuck witnessing your slow death at the hands of my Tortoise Twist….WHAA
Dorobotsu: Heh time to return to sender.
Hitodenshi: ebb and flow thrust! *Hitodenshi is seen completely covered by Dorobotsu's blue acid but also waving his arms around to toss the slime back at Skalesca's legs causing him to stay planted into the ground*
Dorobotsu: heh yeah that's the true secret to this combo move my Base armor and Hito's Catfish skin technique allows us to deter any substance liquidy you toss our way
Skalesca: AGHH damn you, no matter you'll still be immobilized soon enough thanks to my snail pistols neurotoxin!
Hitodenshi: Take a good look *Hitodenshi lowers his arm showing a burn mark on his shoulder where Skalesca strike hit him* Dorobotsu managed to use his acid to burn through that pesky toxin before it could run its course. Speaking of running it seems like you won't be doing any of that now so allow us to free you. *Hitodenshi grabs Skalesca's arm gripping his suit sleeve tightly throwing it over his head then leans down and grabs his leg and lifts him onto his shoulders in a fireman's carry*
Skalesca: No no no you can't do this to me you disgusting hoodluuuuummmsss!
Hitodenshi: Fishman Jiu-jitsu Crashing Waterfall! *Hitodenshi rolls onto his left side dropping Skalesca onto his hair and then head with a sickening thud followed by a ripping and tearing of his clothes and flesh by his own Tempest kick which stops after a loud high pitch scream from Skalesca which passes out in a pile of tatters and blood dripping out his back and his hair now matted across his pale face and blood muddying his eye-shadow and dripping into his mouth agape and twitching*
Dorobotsu: Great work bud! *Dorobotsu slides off of Hitodenshi and reforms his regular body then gives a high five to Hitodenshi*
Hitodenshi: Yup we definitely made things work to our advantage but I have to admit didn't think we would finish first though. *The two look over as Fisresu is clashing his blade against Nyudo's axe he then takes his two swords and swings them up like an uppercut hitting the pommel of Nyudo's axe sending it flying out of his hands*
Fisresu: Cloud Cover Crush! *In the same motion that knocked away Nyudo's axe Fisresu flips backward slashing both of his blades across Nyudo's chest and causes him to be knocked back a bit skidding his feet across the dirt*
Nyudo: Hnng..You're definitely a swordsman worth his salt. *Nyudo leaps toward a palm tree, grabs the trunk and then begins to fold the tree into smaller and smaller sections until it resembles a spear plucks it from the ground and points it toward Fisresu*
Fisresu: Well that complement means a bit coming from a former blacksmith.
Nyudo: Heh very astute of you what gave it away? *He says as he takes some short thrust at Fisresu with his tree spear which Fisresu deflects with the edges of his sword curving the tip and weaving his head back and forth*
Fisresu: Well you definitely have the fingers of a craftsman and the *He leaps onto the tree spear and dashes down to Nyudo who heaves the spear into the air* Strength of one! *He leaps into the air only for Nyudo to meet him halfway using Moon Walk with and pulls out some items from his sleeves*
Nyudo: trifold ingots! *Nyudo tosses three-fold throwing stars at Fisresu which using his haki coated blade whacks them down toward the ground but they collide with a thunderous thud and a smoke cloud fills around the two as they land* You may have deduced my former profession but you won't beat me with just wit!
Fisresu: Soaring Thunderbird! *Fisresu takes his two swords and spins in a circle blowing the smoke away and knocking back Nyudo who appears with an absurdly long sword it appears to be twenty feet long at least* That's the other thing that gave away that you were a blade smith. You're swordsmanship is amateurish at best and disgraceful at worst.
Nyudo: You do well to respect your elders and your betters boy! Combining my craftsmanship in addition to my Fold-Fold fruit ability I can make nearly anything into a weapon with this hands take this my Thousand fold Blade high grade steel folded onto itself a thousand times! Truly a blade like this will make anything cower in fear! *He swings the enormous blade and shockingly it actually extends even further swinging into and through the adjacent trees and bushes behind Nyudo before being blocked by Fisresu who is holding it back with his two swords pushing against his side* Now Tempest kick fluttering fury! *Nyudo flicks his feet in a brief flurry sending small but fast air slashes at Fisresu who struggles to take one arm to block the thousand fold sword and take the other arm to deflect the slashes however some manage to graze his arm and legs leaving some small cuts that bleed slowly*
Fisresu: Hrrrg You think this is enough for me you has been!? HUWAAA *Fisresu then takes the arm that was deflecting the slashes and with a powerful upward swing he cuts through the thousand fold blade in two* A sword isn't carried by the materials it's made of. It's carried by the people who carry them with skill honor and will and you are severely lacking in a high quantity. The moment I struck your back I could tell just how much of a worthless excuse of a "swordsman" you are.
Nyudo: Hmph SHUT YOUR MOUTH BRAT WHAT NONSENSE COULD THAT ONE HIT HAVE DONE! *Nyudo uses whats left of his blade and takes a wild slice at Fisresu's feet it leaves a decent sized cut into the dirt*
Fisresu: Now you're aim is suffering from your lack of composure too eh?
Nyudo: Heh let's see how u laugh at this! *Nyudo dashes toward Fisresu then stops and squats near the hole made by the cut and reaches inside and actually drags out the dirt and rocks like a rug then leaps over Fisresu using his Moon Walk technique and rolls him in the large fold* Mud-sliding Corners! Now we pullll! *Nyudo pulls on the corner of his earth roll squeezing Fisresu more and more he grunts and groans in pain as he feels his body tighten* Even you can't beat the earth itself foolish boy.
Fisresu: I…don't need to beat it..i just need to…Cut it! ONE SWORD STYLE TRIGGERED LIGHTNING THRUST! *Suddenly a piercing blow blast a hole out from the center of the folded earth roll shooting just past Nyudo who releases his grip freeing Fisresu entirely*
Nyudo: You think this is over do you!? Moon Walk! *Nyudo runs through the air gaining some height then reaches into his pocket once more and throws out a great many items from his cloak * 30 FOLD ANCHOR CALTROPS! *Suddenly the round items morph into large anchors that rain down toward Fisresu*
Fisresu: And you resort to more parlor tricks instead of actual techniques.
Nyudo: Let's see if you can back up that talk Paper art and Iron Body PAPER BENDING JAVELIN! *Nyudo bends his body into the shape of a javelin and flies through the top loops of the falling anchor*
Fisresu: Shit I can't see him in that mess of metal cluster…focus..lightning needs not to know where to strike only to strike hard and fast. *Fisresu widens his stance and sheathes his two swords while squatting low*
Nyudo: You won't catch me in this state fool!
Fisresu: Two sword style Valkyrie's Winged Assault! *Fisresu leaps into the air and in a flash of white light unsheathes his sword and appears above the swarm of anchors and re-sheathes his two swords with a loud CLANG and with that the anchors all separate into several slices and hidden in them is a unfurling orange blur that reveals itself as Nyudo his cloak torn to shreds and reveals his bright orange suit and green tie along with dark brown shoes however the suit has two large cuts on the chest and slightly seared on the edge of the cuts and he falls to the ground in a thunderous collision of metal and blood* Huff…was that all you got? *Fisresu lands on the other side of the wreck he looks over to the others in their battles in the clearing but then switches his focus back over to an enraged grunt* Well well looks like you have more guts than I gave you credit for.
Nyudo: Huff huff Graaa YOU WILL NOT MOCK ME I DON'T NEED TO BE A SWORDSMAN MY POWER WILL ECLIPSE YOU! *He reaches behind his back pulling out a long black cylinder item then chucks it toward Fisresu* BILLION FOLD BUSTER! *The cylinder begins to unfold and the shape gets larger and larger and soon reveals a mast and sails and then shown to be a pirate galleon that takes up nearly the whole clearing the other combatants take notice of this large ship appearing*
Kyubuki: Oh my well looks like Nyudo is initiating his grand finale however I will not be upstaged. *Kyubuki uses his Moon Walk to run high into the air*
Kassie: You won't get away from me! *Kassie flies through the air after him with a large gust of wind flowing she also looks back at the galleon and has a pensive look* Fisresu…I'm sure he will be fine.
Sarukenshi: (Don't fret Kassie I assure you he will rise to the occasion. If anyone knows the capabilities of his strength it would be me.)
Hydragnea: Huff huff ok nearly don…woah what in the world!? *Hydragnea sees the Galleons Boar figurehead from where she's positioned and sees Fisresu staring down the ship and raising his two swords over his head parallel to the other*
Fisresu: I don't care what you throw at me I will cut you and everything in my comrade's way down! TWO SWORD STYLE SECRET TECHNIQUE RAIJIN & FUJIN'S WRATH! *Fisresu's arm and back muscles flex and bulge nearly out of his skin and a wave of arnament haki courses from his body to his arms and then his blades as he swings his swords straight down sending enormous white air slashes from both sides that glide through the galleon the wood splintering and steel bending and grinding as the slash boars through and finally the slices crest down the center and crash directly into Nyudo who can has no time to react and is slashed and knocked back several feet straight into a large boulder cratering it and when the dust settles Nyudo lies in an unconscious heap his tanned skin scared with a slash across his forehead and runs down his nose down to his chest in a slight left curve down to his waist cutting his orange suit open* Huff hu…it's a shame I'm sure you could have made a blade worthy of a master with determination like that. *Fisresu sits down extending one leg and propping his arm with one of his swords* (Hey Saru that's another one down. I'm taking a breather you guys can handle the rest of this yeah?)
Sarukenshi: (I'm sure you know the answer to that, right everyone?)
Hydragnea: (I can handle things here.)
Layna: ( We will wrap this up soon don't worry.)
Asuna: ( Yeah great job Fisresu!)
Kassie: (I concur rest up, you've fought incredibly well I'll make you a hearty helping of food when this is over!)
*In that moment Kassie feels a tight wrapping sensation on her right leg and sees a large tendril of paper gripping her shin*
Kyubuki: The show is over my darling spectator. Now feel the wrath of my Blackout Curtain! *The paper turns black with haki and Kyubuki lifts his left arm up and zooms down toward the ground dragging Kassie along by the leg she whacks her whip sword at the paper but it does not give an inch or tear and soon she finds herself being tossed into the ground with a sickening thud as the side of her body hits the dirt and her hand slides up and collides with her head bouncing back*
Kassie: Uroof! Damn it let go of meeee! *Kyubuki floats up and throws her into the air and waves his right arm then out of his sleeves a few medium sized purple paper hawks forms* Paper Peregrine Flock go forth my pets! *The hawks then swarm Kassie who is seen trying to swat them away with her whip blade but Kyubuki is yanking on the black curtain wrapped around her leg shifting her body and making her miss her target causing her to get scratched up by the hawks on her shoulders and stomach* Gyah get away you annoying fake birds. Flame of Shandora! *Kassie then hits the pommel of the whip blade setting it aflame once again and flicks her wrist causing a small cone of flames to burn the hawks away*
Kyubuki: Hmmm resourceful however fire hazards must be put out for this performance so allow me to stamp that out. Moon walk! *Kyubuki flies up through the air then dive bombs again dragging Kassie who tries to blast some gusts at him but she just can't get the angle right she then see's the ground come close once again and braces herself for impact* Now take this! *Kyubuki cuts a sharp turn on the ground making Kassie follow shortly behind and landing with another bone shattering crash she howls in pain then goes limp* Hmph a pity the crowd has grown silent before the climatic finish. *Kyubuki undoes the black curtain and his arm returns to normal as he walks up to Kassie who remains motionless on her side her whip blade no longer in flames lays next to her on the ground* But no matter a performer knows when it's time to bow out. *Kyubuki leans down over Kassie and reaches for her face readying his finger* Finger Pis..
Kassie: Couldn't agree more! *Kassie springs to life and a sudden tailwind gives her small burst of spead as she pounces onto Kyubuki and splays her legs out and wraps them around his waist hooking her feet tightly and then they beging to darken with a black and reddish tinted haki* It's time you've heed the curtains call. *Kassie takes her left hand that was hidden when she landed on her side and places a pinkish dial onto Kyubukis stomach* NOW IMPACT! *Kassie clicks the dial and a large concussive force shoots Kyubuki down to the ground and shockwaves are sent throughout the floor and crack the grass and dirt beneath them in a 10 foot circle Kyubuki coughs out some blood and his head hits the ground but he doesn't seem out cold just yet*
Kyubuki: Gloruuk! How dare u try..to give..me the hook. A good thing the iron body Empty tree technique aided me this day however I will admit your blow was mighty…however I can still win…Kagu-tsuchis Blessing *Some green paper begin to flow from pieces of Kyubukis suit and lay on his chest*
Kassie: Oh now you don't, Upward Gale full force plus jet dial! *Kassie's wavers shoot a large jet stream and a strong upward gust sends the two soaring high into the air at blinding speeds and she even sends her whip sword up close behind at that moment a voice can be heard below calling out to Kassie*
Volchya: Kass! CATCH! *Volchya Usopp and Robin appear running out of the bushes and heading to the hangar however Volchya chucks a long pipe like item at Kassie*
Kassie: Ohh perfect timing you guy's thanks I been needing that! *Kassie catches the pole but doing so allows Kyubuki to slip out of her grip*
Kyubuki: Paper art flowing in the wind. *Kyubuki folds out of Kassies legs like a paper floating on the breeze then reforms and runs in place with Moon Walk* now Kagu-tsuchi's blessing come! *The green paper is seen flying up toward Kyubuki once again*
Kassie: No you're going down now. *Kassie's whip sword is now in her hand but she combines it with the pipe like object she then holds it by the end and twirls it around* Now time for the Whispering element Spear!
Kyubuki: As if that can take me time for the finale Paper Peregrines flock and Black Curtain Closing Ceremony! *Five black and red paper hawks appear once more and both of Kyubukis arms are now resembling black haki coated tendrils* Now converge and destroy her!
Kassie: You'll have to catch me first! *Kassie takes a sharp turn but the hawks give chase but Kassie's eyes look determined as she sets her wavers up to max throttle and she begins to twirl her Spear which extends the blade whip to add extra range Flame of Shandora Raging Pillar! *A large plume of flames shoots from sides of the pipe down to the blade whip and engulf the paper hawks however quickly after that are several air slashes that Kassie banks right to dodge*
Kyubuki: You won't beat a Six Powers user so easily!
Kassie: He's right…but this will have to work time to kick things up! *Kassie begins to dash around Kyubuki's in large circles and waves her spear in large swathing circles as well however Kyubuki is lashing his tendrils at her trying to grab and slash at her*
Kyubuki: If you are trying to make me disoriented I am a classically trained performer I can handle some spins young spectator!
Kassie: Your audience is about to give you a cold reception! Maelstrom Maximum pressure! And Whispering Chill! *In mere moments the space around Kassie and Kyubuki are surrounded by a small cyclone of wind gust that grow colder and colder then Kassies spear begins to have a blue like glow then the whip shares the same glow*
Kyubuki: You will not end this show prematurely Finger pistol Octopus Perforation! Kyubuki's tendrils shoot out with intense precision and at that same time Kassie's whip extends but misses the tendrils which shot into Kassies shoulders* Ha you are done for no..ahhh ah what is!? *Kyubuki looks down and see's his right leg now ensnared by the whip which has now exuded intense cold and is freezing his leg*
Kassie: Glad you're strapped in because this Maelstrom has only one destination hnrrg *Kassie focuses herself and coats the whip blade in haki then shoots herself straight down diving to the ground using the cyclone like winds to propel herself faster than at the last moment cuts a turn away from a boulder*
Kyubuki: NO NO THIS IS NOT THE ENDGAAAHH! *Kyubuki collides head first with the rock shattering it and falls down onto the dirt unconscious and teeth cracked with blood seeping out his mouth onto the grass*
Kassie: Heh well looks like rock beats paper after all.
*Meanwhile back with Layna and Asuna and their battle against the Pacifista*
Layna: Huff huff…are you doing ok Asuna?
Asuna: Heeh heeeh yeah sis I'm ok..but I wish this guy would stop
Pacifista: Iron Walk! *The Pacifista dashes at Layna and Asuna firing lasers from his hands which the two dodge at the last moment*
Asuna: That I wish he'd stop that it's really hard when someone that big moves so quick!
Layna: Yeah definitely but we almost got him *above Asuna's head is a number 70 Layna then looks at the Pacifista who has an 98* Yeah huff we just need two more hits in then we can end in this.
Asuna: How's your shoulder holding up?
Pacifista: Tempest kick cross chop! *The Pacifist uses its arms and legs to do a combination slicing air attack at Asuna but she leaps out of the way*
Layna: I'll manage just fine. *The Pacifista has now stopped briefly and is only looking at the two girls*
Pacifista: Analysis complete anomaly identified primary objective remove anomaly from the mission. Moon walk! *The Pacifista then rushes directly at Asuna relentlessy she tries to leap away but she's grabbed by her right leg*
Layna: NO ASUNA! *Layna goes to reach behind her for an arrow but she realizes she's out and overstretches her shoulder in the process causing her to cry out in pain* DAMN IT! *The Pacifista runs high into the air holding Asuna by her leg and dishing out punches at her torso and her face each landing heavier than the last and causing Asuna to bleed from her head* No no no I have to do something…HYDRAGNEA HYDRA! *Layna is bolting toward Hydragnea who is on top of the last of the Feral Giants heads and slashes its nape and then in a smooth front flip slices the ankles as she lands on her feet*
Hyrdragnea: Layna where is..Oh no Asuna!
Layna: No time to talk I need help give me your knife! (Saru can you hear me!)
Sarukenshi: (Loud and clear I can feel your distress hold on. Kassie quickly listen carefully.)
Kassie: (OK)
Layna: (I need a strong tailwind where I'm at going 40 degrees southeast the strongest you can give me got it!)
Kassie: (Gotcha! Get ready.)
Layna: Hydra! *The purple Yonda slithers next to Layna* Hydragnea I need you to launch me to that hunk of bolts listen to my adjustments.
Hydragnea: Got it Hydra set up now! *The purple Yonda extends itself then anchors itself into the ground and allows Layna to lay back into its body like a slingshot*
Layna: Ok just like that now arch your back and hold. *Layna curls herself into a ball as Hydragnea arches her back holding Hydra's body as far as it will stretch* Now! *Hydragnea lets go launching Layna into the air but with the tailwind provided by Kassie she is rocketing at extreme speeds and closing in on the Pacifista who is still landing viscious punches on Asuna as she tries to hold her hands up to block the counter above her head reads 98*
Asuna: Is…tha…that all you got…fake warlord! My sis hits way harder than you!
Layna: Asuna catch! *Layna tosses Hydragneas knife while still flying through the air then extends her arm in a closed fist glowing red with haki as the Pacifista see's her he raises his free hand trying to ready a laser*
Asuna: *Asuna catches the knife and turns the blade down and shoves it up into the Pacifista's hand holding her leg the counter above its head now reads 99 but then Layna still sailing toward the Pacifista who misses his laser blast it sails past Layna's cheek burning it, her fist connects with the Pacifista's torso making it recoil and the counter above its head hits 100 and then it begins to shake uncontrollably*
Pacifista: System overload heavy damaged sustained systems shutting dooownnn. *The eyes of the odd helmet on the Pacifista shut off and it begins to plummet back to the ground with Layna along with it as well as Asuna, however a strong gust of wind starts to slow their decent while the Pacifista falls to the ground in a large crash then in a flash a long arm stretches out and grabs Asuna and a familiar voice or two can be heard*
Luffy: You guys did great!
Sanji: I've got you Miss Layna! *Sanji is seen dashing through the air and scooping Layna up in his arms Luffy also brings down Asuna to the ground on her feet*
Asuna: Nice catch you guys Sis we did it we beat a fake Warlord! *Asuna says with a big grin*
Layna: Yeah yeah we did and it's thanks to you. *Layna smiles back warmly glad her sister is still the same positive ray of joy Nami and Zolo walk up next to the group*
Nami: I'm glad things worked out here. Where's Sarukenshi?
Luffy: I think they're in there. *Luffy points to the galleon in the middle of the field from Nyudo's attack*
Nami: They?
Zolo: Yeah him and that weasel looking guy from earlier.
Brook: Nami don't worry things look about wrapped up here, right now we need to get that dandelion back to the lab.
Nami: Right let's get going! *Nami and Brook and the rest run into the hangar Meanwhile inside the galleon Nero is seen running through the ships lower deck his clothes torn and his body bruised and face bloodied but still not giving in*
Nero:huff huff I just need to find that and he'll be as good as gone.
Sarukenshi: Shave. *Sarukenshi appears behind Nero* Find what exactly?
Nero: Gah get away cretin Paper art plus Moon walk Aero plane fin! *Nero's body waves around like paper curling in the air then his boot flips into the face of Sarukenshi and pushes off him flying deeper into the galleons lower deck flying past cannons and boxes of ammunition*
If I recall it was behind this door….Ghuk! *Nero is opens a door but sees himself being struck by Rob Lucci in the back* What the hell what's going on…no no this can't be.
Lucci: You are nothing but a failure. CP9 has no time to waste on failures. Failures die nothing else. You will die and be of no use to anyone or for anything. *Lucci walks closer to Nero his finger dripping in blood and poised to strike*
Nero: No…no please I am useful I can be..I got stronger please don't do this to me not again! I be…
Lucci: Begging is what worthless dogs do. Now let sleeping dogs lie and get out of my sight forever. *Lucci swings his arm back and is about to strike*
Nero: I…I….No no damn it I am stronger now! I don't care what you say Lucci! *Lucci's hand phases through Nero's head but does not hurt him at all*
Sarukenshi: Well well you did get stronger after all. It's a shame you waste that strength being a World Government tool.
Nero: Wait what you!? *Suddenly Nero is brought back to his senses and he's standing in a ammunitions room with a plethora of explosives and barrels of gunpowder around the red wooded walls and distressed floor boards* What is the meaning of this!?
Sarukenshi: What you saw was part of my ability I call it Memory Maze. It uses my enemy's strongest visceral memories and makes them appear as if it was the real thing all over again, with some twists of course.
Nero: Wait…so you purposefully let me go. For what purpose? you could have kept me in that…maze forever if you so pleased.
Sarukenshi: No not true at all you always had the ability to leave once you realized that the ability no longer had an effect on you.
Nero:..But why..why take time to aid your enemy in any way?
Sarukenshi: Well truth be told it's part of my dream to be a great teacher and part of that is being able to have someone learn something new even if it's just something about themselves.
Nero: I…i…you already know what my plan was don't you.
Sarukenshi: *Looks around the room* Indeed I do cause a spark with a tempest kick and blow most likely both of us to kingdom come.
Nero:…You've won this battle before it started.
Sarukenshi: Oh no definitely not nothing in life is guaranteed. Also the best teachers are ones that continue learning. That being said it is time we finished this.
Nero: I agree…TEMPES…
Sarukenshi: HERMES GUIDING LIGHT! *Sarukenshi with lightning fast reflexes gives a haki coated kick to the jaw of Nero launching him skyward through the deck of the galleon, flying high into the air where his unconscious body floats back his hat falling off his head and his body landing in the crow's nest of the galleon* I hope you can take that lesson home with you Nero. *Sarukenshi leaps up onto the deck of the galleon then leaps down where he see's Fisresu, Hitodenshi, Dorobotsu, Layna, Asuna, Kassie, and Hydragnea along with Hydra waiting for him* I wasn't expecting a welcoming party you all took care of things swimmingly.
Fisresu: Funny coming from the guy that can't swim. *He laughs as he leans on Hitodenshi whose holding his shoulder propping him up*
Layna: We should get to the Hangar. Luffy and the others are already there.
Hydragnea: Hopefully they've concocted the cure for the giants.
Kassie: I hope so too. *She looks over at the currently incapacitated giants squirming*
Sarukenshi: Don't worry I believe in our Medic team.
*The victorious group make their way into the hangar and through the hallway and walk into the sample room where Luffy Usopp and the others are gathered around and suddenly Chopper leaps up from the center*
Chopper: WE DID IT! The first batch is done!
Adam: *Sighs in relief* That was more taxing and tense than I thought but we actually pulled it off.
Akina: Great job everyone.
Morgana: *She stands holding a large vial of reddish liquid sweat and tears coming down she then looks at Sarukenshi and the gang coming into the room* Oh my goodness you all look like a wreck!
Chopper: AHHH SOMEONE CALL A DOCTOR!
Dorobotsu: You are all doctors!
Chopper: Oh right!
*CP9 has been defeated and the cure is on its way, on the Next chapter!*
