-At Cricket's house-
Bellamy and his crew stood across from Luffy's group and the Saruyama Alliance, each of them either smiling or smirking.
"Nice to see you cowards again!" Bellamy laughed. "Though considering that this is a home to fellow dreamers, I can't say I'm surprised!"
"What do you punks want?" Cricket demanded.
"That's simple." Bellamy said. "We heard that you and your monkeys found some gold. Hand it over."
"You should consider leaving before you get us angry." Shojo stated.
"Coming here in the middle of the night and demanding gold?" Masira asked before laughing and cracking his knuckles. "Get lost. We got work to do."
"Those monkeys and cowards your bodyguards?" Bellamy asked before laughing. "I heard of the sad tale of the Montblanc family. Brought a tear to my eye. Let me tell you all what they call me. They HYENA!" he yelled with his tongue sticking out and laughing.
"Are you gonna brag about your dumb name, or are you gonna fight?" Gin asked. Bellamy only grinned as Sarquiss and most of Bellamy's ran towards them.
"Kill the cowards, then the monkeys!" Sarquiss yelled as they brought out their weapons and attacked.
"They're after you first." Cricket said. "Guess you guys get first crack."
-Zoro Vs. Sarquiss-
Sarquiss charged towards Zoro while brandishing his weapon, a sword that looked like a giant bent knife.
"Time to die!" Sarquiss yelled with a grin on his face as he swung his at Zoro. The sound of metal striking metal was heard as Zoro lifted his white blade and unsheathed only fraction of it, stopping Sarquiss's blade dead. "What?!" Sarquiss yelled as he pushed with all his strength, while Zoro merely stood there and stared at Sarquiss. He smirked before he swiftly brought his blade out, disarmed Sarquiss, slashed acrossed his chest, and resheated the blade all before Sarquiss hit the ground. He stared at Sarquiss before turning to watch Johnny and Yosaku fight their battles, while also remaining on guard in case anyone tried to attack him while his back was turned.
-Johnny Vs. Hewitt-
Johnny was fending off Hewitt's slashes, looking for an opening to strike. Hewitt was relentless, but sloppy as all he did was blindly swing at Johnny, who either dodged or blocked with his own blade. The two of them were deadlocked before Johnny knocked Hewitt's blade aside, allowing Johnny to give Hewitt a quick slash across his chest. Hewitt fumbled as he grasped at his wound while glaring at Johnny.
"What happned?" Johnny asked with a smile. "Considering you didn't break a sweat while pummeling me at the pub earlier, I thought you'd be tougher."
"SCREW YOU!" Hewitt yelled as he lunged at Johnny, only for Johnny to smash his face in with the hilt of his blade. Hewitt stumbled before he dropped his blade and fell to the ground.
'Either he's really weak," Johnny thought as he took a few deep breaths and looked down at himself. 'Or I'm actually starting to get stronger.'
-Yosaku Vs. Ross-
Ross was giving Yosaku a hard time as he was pushing his blade against Yosaku's, both of them using all their strength to keep their opponent from gutting the other.
"Give it up." Ross said. "You and your crew are nothing but pathetic dreamers."
"It's because we've been chasing our dreams," Yosaku grunted before the two of them jumped back. "That we've even made it this far!"
"Then your dreams end here!" Ross yelled as the two of them charged at each other.
'Our dreams,' Yosaku thought as their blades clashed before his blade broke Ross's blade and slashed Ross. 'Won't die!'
-Gin Vs. Rivers-
Gin was duking it out with Rivers, with Rivers looking like a bloody mess.
'Where'd this speed and strength come from?!' Rivers thought before Gin landing a solid blow at his ribs.
"You and your crew should've listened and left." Gin said with an evil glare. Rivers's only response was a dark chuckle as he glared right back at Gin.
"Like we'd run from you weaklings!" he said. "Our captain's got a 55,000,000 berry bounty on his head! Even if we lose, he'll still crush you little termites!"
"Maybe," Gin said before landing a swift kick to his chin, knocking him out. "But I highly doubt it."
-Valerie Vs. Mani-
Mani was growing more and more frustrated with each punch of hers that missed Valerie, who was laughing all the time. Valerie popped her umbrella open and twirled it at Mani, who responded by grabbing the end and throwing it skyward. Her eyes widened in shock when she saw that Valerie wasn't behind the umbrella.
"What the- Where'd that bitch go?!" she yelled, not noticing that Valerie had changed her weight to 1 kilo and was curled up inside her umbrella right above her.
"Right here!" Mani turned just in time to see Valerie fall right on top of her at 100 kilos, smashing and pinning her to the ground. Mani struggled under her weight while Valerie sat on Mani's belly, laughing while looking down at her. "How do you like my Kilo-Kilo fruit?"
"A Devil Fruit?" Mani asked in shock as she struggled.
"That's right." Valerie said. "Crescendo Stone! How many kilos can you handle?" she asked as she slowly began to increase her weight. "Right now, I'm at 100 kilos." Mani struggled to get Valerie off of her, but it was all in vain as she felt the increased pressure on her midsection. "150...200...250...300."
"Stop!" Mani yelled, finally at her limit. "I give! I give!"
"Only at 300 kilos?" Valerie asked with a laugh. "You wimp."
-Luffy Vs. Bellamy-
Bellamy only watched as his crew got beaten with a grin while Luffy glared at Bellamy.
"Last warning." Luffy said. "Take your crew and leave."
"HAHA!" Bellamy laughed as he glared at Luffy. "Why would I leave when the real show hasn't started?" Luffy only sighed and closed his eyes, which promted another fit of laughter from Bellamy. "Just gonna stand there and take it like earlier, huh?! Alright then, I"ll make this quick!" He then crouched down as his legs coiled up.
"It's over for that shrimp!" Sarquiss said as he starting getting to his feet. "He's gonna wipe the floor with Straw Hat with his Spring Spring Fruit." Bellamy then launched himself towards Luffy, laughing like a maniac as he prepared to finish Luffy off.
'Sorry Bellamy.' Luffy thought before his eyes flew open. Bellamy was a foot away from Luffy before a giant cloud of dust kicked up, blocking Luffy and Bellamy from everyone's view. The Straw Hats looked with neutral expressions while the Bellamy Pirates were cheering.
"That shrimp's dead now!" Sarquiss yelled as the dust started to clear. "No one can stand up t-" His words died in his throat as he and the Bellamy pirates stared in horror. Their captain, who had every fight he'd fought, was now in a crater in the ground with an imprint of Luffy's knuckles on his face while Luffy stood over him with blood dripping off his right hand. Luffy looked down at Bellamy as he placed his hat back on his head.
"Not bad." Cricket said as he, Shojo, and Masira smiled.
"Bellamy...lost?" Lily asked in disbelief while the Straw Hats slowly began to smile at the scene.
"No way." Sarquiss said as he trembled. "It's a joke, right? Come on Bellamy. Stand up and show him what you're made of!" Bellamy didn't moved from where he lay unconscious, which served to irk Sarquiss. "This is not funny anymore Bellamy! Stand up already! You're the 55,000,000 berry Big-Time Rookie, remember?!"
"Just admit defeat." Gin said.
"SHUT UP!" Sarquiss yelled as he glared at Luffy. "THE LITTLE BRAT JUST GOT A LUCKY HIT! NOTHING MORE!"
"You've lost." Luffy said as he looked towards the Bellamy Pirates, both beaten and watching from the sidelines. "Leave."
"Fuck you!" Sarquiss growled before he grabbed his knife and charged at Luffy. "THERE'S NO WAY WE'RE LOSTING TO A BUNCH OF DREAM CHASING WANNA-BE PIRATES!" Sarquiss roared as he slashed at Luffy, who easily caught the blade mid-swing. Luffy glared at Sarquiss before releasing a small wave of Haki, clearly no longer tolerating them being there. Everyone felt the power as the Straw Hats remained the same and the Saruyama Alliance's eyes widened in surprise. The Bellamy Pirates however, were staring in utter terror.
'That feeling!' Sarquiss thought as an image of Doflamingo came to his mind for a split second. That was all he needed to finally realize that they were screwed. "RUN!" he yelled as he and the rest of the Bellamy Pirates gathered their fallen friends and retreated to their ship before sailing away.
"One punch?" Valerie asked in disappointment. "I know you're strong Luffy, but that guy was pathetic. Still, glad to see him gone."
"That was awesome Big Bro!" Johnny said.
"Just up and WHAM, one hit!" Yosaku added.
"Not bad kid." Cricket said. "Now, GET OUT THERE AND GET THAT AND HELP YOUR FRIENDS FIND THAT SOUTHBIRD!" Luffy and his friends jumped at Cricket's words before they all scrambled towards the forest. Cricket sighed before turning to Masira and Shojo. "Get your crews you two. We got a ship to enhance."
-In the forest-
Nami, Nojiko, Sanji, Usopp, Alvida, Chopper, Grace, Robin, Vivi, and Carue were walking in the forest looking for the Southbird that they needed to capture.
'If only Usopp wasn't here.' Sanji thought as he looked at all the ladies. 'Then it'd just be a romantic walk through the forest with me and all these ladies...and a lady-to-be.' he thought when he saw Grace. He turned his attention to the other women before a big grin came to his face.
"Why couldn't we have done this during the day?" Usopp asked fearfully as he clung to Sanji's back, which annoyed Sanji as it was interrupting his thoughts of the women.
"Stop being a baby." Alvida said. "I don't want to be out here looking for dumb birds either."
"The faster we catch it, the faster we can get out of here." Nojiko said.
"From what Mr. Cricket said, the Southbird constantly points towards the South and has a very strange call."
JYOOOO~
"That has to be it." Nami said.
"Now that we what it sounds like, we should split up and search for it." Robin suggested.
"Right. Three nets, three teams." Sanji suggested. "Let's get that bird!"
"YEAH!" they all shouted before splitting. Usopp, Nami, and Sanji were one team. Vivi, Carue, Chopper, and Grace were another. Alvida, Nojiko, and Robin formed the final team before they all split.
-Team 1-
Usopp, Nami, and Sanji were looking for the bird while keeping their ears open.
"Jyooo~! Come out bird! Jyooo~!" Usopp called, which annoyed the other two before Sanji threw the net over his face. "Why'd you do that? Hey, where'd you get that thing Nami?"
"What thing?" Nami asked as she looked at her butt, which had a huge tarantula on it. "YAAAAH! SPIDER! GET IT AWAY!" she yelled as she and Sanji ran off.
"Aw, come here little guy." Usopp said as he carefully picked the spider up.
"I hate spiders!" Nami yelled before a few started raining on her and Sanji, making them run again while Usopp just smiled.
"Don't worry guys. These guys don't bite if you don't anger or frighten them." he said as he gently petted the one on his arm with his finger.
"GET IT AWAY! I HATE THOSE LITTLE THINGS!" Nami yelled.
"I HATE LITTLE HAIRY BUGS! THROW IT AWAY!" Sanji yelled.
"Really? Then you're okay with those moths and centipedes behind you?" Usopp asked. Nami and Sanji's jaws dropped in horror before turning around.
"AHHHHH!" they screamed as the bugs started moving before they ran off.
"WAIT UP!" Usopp shouted.
-Team 2-
"That sounded like screaming." Robin said as she, Nojiko, and Alvida searched for a Southbird.
"Probably being attacked by something like we are." Alvida said as she smashed her mace into a giant centipede. "Big, aren't they?" Alvida asked, making Nojiko snickered. "What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing. Nothing at all." Nojiko said before stepping in a quagmire and began to sink. "CRAP!"
-Team 3-
Vivi and Grace were riding on Carue and Chopper, who were running for their very lives after a Southbird dropped a bee's nest down near them. They finally got away, albeit with a few beestings before another nest was dropped near them.
"I AM SERIOUSLY HATING THIS FOREST!" Grace yelled as Chopper looked up at the trees.
"There it is!" he said, causing them all to look at the strange bird as it made noises. "He said 'I'll kill anyone who disturbs this forest'!"
-With Johnny and Yosaku-
Luffy's group entered the forest to aid in the search of the Southbird before splitting into teams themselves. Johnny and Yosaku spotted a Southbird before running for their lives when a horde of pigs ran at them.
"I HATE THAT BIRD!" they shouted as they ran for it. They kept on running until they heard screams approaching them.
"Make way! Coming through!" Usopp yelled as he, Sanji, and Nami ran by them with a legion of cockroaches following.
"GROSS! GROSS! GROSS! GROSS!" Nami shrieked as all six of them ran.
-With Gin and Zoro-
Both men were taking out anything that came towards them, from mantises to centipedes, before the two of them began hacking away at the forest.
"Fucking little flying rat!" Gin snarled.
"When I get my hands on it, I'm gonna gut it's wings off!" Zoro growled.
"That's not a very nice thing to do to a bird." Both men looked to see Alvida smiling at them, with Nojiko and Robin approaching them.
"So, how'd the fight go?" Robin asked.
"What fight?" Gin asked as if he'd heard a lame joke.
"I thought I felt Luffy's Haki earlier." Nojiko said.
"Just scaring off those who still thought they had a chance of beating us." Zoro answered before he started walking.
"We just came from that direction." Gin said, stopping Zoro in his tracks.
"Still no sense of direction." Alvida said before they all started looking for the Southbird.
"Shut up!"
-With Luffy and Valerie-
"Look!" Luffy yelled as he dug under a tree. "I found it! It's right where I found it last time!"
"The Southbird?" Valerie asked. "They live in the ground?"
"No, this!" Luffy said in excitement as he pulled out a big kabuto beetle. "It's Hercules!"
"A kabuto beetle?!" Valerie yelled as he pulled off his vest to wrap the beetle in so it couldn't get away. Valerie stared at his torso as his muscles moved around under his skin, drawing a smile on her face.
"Hey, Luffy?" Valerie said, making him look up at her. "Do you happen to know around what time we have to be at the Knock-Up Stream?"
"Um...I think we gotta leave in the morning." Luffy said after trying to think.
"Plenty of time." Valerie whispered.
"What?" Luffy asked.
"Nothing." Valerie quickly said before they heard some rustling nearby. She whipped around while Luffy smiled.
"Hey guys." Luffy called as Chopper, Grace, Vivi, and Carue sped past them, followed by a swarm of poisonous hornets. Luffy decided to speed up the search and use his Haki on everything besides his friends. Soon, everything was falling unconscious around him, including a Southbird that was directing the hornets. "Got it!" Luffy yelled as he picked the bird up. "Let's get back to the house!"
"That was easy." Valerie laughed as the two of them began walking away with the others slowly following them.
"Sometimes, I really hate how easy Luffy can do all that." Chopper said.
A/N: The fights weren't very long, I know. Then again, Bellamy's crew isn't exactly strong. Hope you all liked it.
