Beta: Memodo Shiki.
Chapter XIX.
Last Time.
Zoro, and Usopp.
"Kū do Van! (Wind Blow!)" Franky attacked Chopper who made his way to Zoro, and Usopp sending him out the wall, and into the water.
Franky jumped after him as Usopp yelled at him.
"Guys it's OK, That was our plan."
They turned and saw Nami holding a key with '2' on it.
Kaku and Jabra who was looking down the hole heard something clatter. Turning around, they saw Nami, a now free Usopp, and Zoro who was holding Yubashiri.
"You finally got free huh?" Kaku said with a chuckle.
"You should stop laughing, and start running. You blew your chance at killing me, and you won't get another. It's my turn now." Zoro said glaring at them. "I'm taking you all down." Zoro pulled out Kitestu. "The entire World Government!" He finished with a bloodthirsty grin.
Now.
Franky and Chopper.
"Finally back to normal," Franky said as he brought Chopper back up to the ground before thinking about his monster form. "Not even his friends knew what to do with him after he changed." He said before remembering back to the fight in the kitchen.
"Do you want to save Robin or not!?" Franky yelled/asked Chopper who was crying.
"Hai! (Yes!) I do... ROBIN!"
He sighed and stood up. "Kind of lame that you tried to kill me, but if your friends vouch for you I'll forgive you."
Suddenly, Chimney and her rabbit popped out of a box surprising the cyborg. "Hey, we found Franky!" Franky looked at her and she explained about an underground tunnel.
"So there's an underground tunnel leading over to the gates?" Franky asked as Chimney nodded. They went into the box and came into a room with Kokoro drinking with a few bottles around her. She picked Chopper up by his leg and started shaking him.
"He should be fine." She started swaying a little.
"LAY OFF THE BOTTLE YA OLD HAG!" Franky yelled at her before he remembered something.
(Flashback.)
Nami handed Franky two keys with '3' and '4' on them. "Hey, hopefully, one of these keys goes to Robin's cuffs." She gave them to Franky and held a Den-Den Mushi. "When you find her let me know with this den-den Mushi I took off Blondie." Giving him the Den-Den Mushi she held another key with a '2' on it. "I'll go free the two idiots, and we'll meet up at the gates."
Franky nodded before remembering something. "We still have to deal with the buster call, and we don't have a ship to get off." Nami nodded before explaining as they ran to where Zoro and Usopp were.
"Yes, that's why we'll meet at the gates with the other keys after you get Robin and escape through the gates with a Marine ship."
(Flashback End.)
He then started to run down the hall.
Naruto Vs. Kusaro.
Naruto hit the ceiling hard before putting his feet on it and pushing himself down to avoid an airwave that cut through the ceiling.
"Ryankayku! (Tempest Kick!)"
The building shook as Naruto landed in a crouch and had Kusaro stab him with all five fingers of his right hand. "Shigan: Mashin Gan! (Finger: Machine Gun!)" Naruto was sent back as projectiles cut his stomach before he was hit with a fist.
"Shigan: Shottogan! (Finger Pistol: Shotgun!)"
Naruto wrapped his arms around Kusaro's before flipping him to apply an arm bar. Naruto then kicked him in the chest and flipped to his feet to spin kick Kusaro in the head before creating a Rasengan (Spiraling Sphere.) and hitting Kusaro in the stomach.
"Rasengan! (Spiraling Sphere!)"
Kusaro was sent flying through several walls creating dust as Naruto walked over. As he went to the last room, both of Kusaro's fists appeared in front of Naruto and a shock wave shot forward, tearing his shirt and breaking the rest of the walls behind him causing the rooms to collapse.
"Rokuōgan! (Six King Gun!)"
Naruto coughed a little blood before Kusaro grabbed his face and threw him through the floor and several rooms before dashing down and hitting him with his knee.
Suddenly, Naruto was replaced with a lamp before dropping down with a heel kick on Kusaro's head.
"Uzumaki Rendan! (Uzumaki Barrage!)"
Gina Vs Selina.
"Shigan! (Finger Pistol!)" Gina was hit with the projectile before falling and rolling to a destroyed couch. She held her shoulder before picking her hammer up and put her hand through a strap.
She jumped out spun the hammer around and dropped to her knees kicking rubble at Selina.
She then threw several nails like senbons before stopping her hammer sinning just as Selina appeared in front of her. She grabbed Gina by the arm and turned to flip the shipwright over her shoulder across the room.
Selina then kicked at her twice having Gina fly back to the wall.
"Ryankayku! (Tempest Kick!)"
Gina then slowly got up brought a chisel out in a reverse grip and swiped Selena who walked over to her.
"Tekkai! (Iron Body!)"
Crack!
The chisel broke in half as Selina grabbed Gina by the face pushed her against the wall and brought her other hand back before thrusting forward.
Only to lose her balance as the room shook and they heard a crash on the other side of the wall.
Gina took the distraction and hit Selina upside the head getting free and ran off to the other side of the room.
The Others.
"Rankyaku: Sen! (Tempest Kick: Straight Line!)" Zoro, after blocking the attack, dashed to Kaku.
"Sorry, your neck's an easy target," Zoro said jumping up to cut Kaku's neck before Kaku bent his neck in the middle.
"My power allows me full control of my neck. Besides, I have a new move." Kaku jabbed Zoro with his nose.
"Bigan! (Nose Pistol!)"
Zoro blocked again creating a shock wave.
"Wow, I can feel it from here," Usopp said from the door.
Zoro redirected Kaku behind him to hit a rock. Kaku got up and dropped the rock showing a square-shaped hole before attacking again.
"Kaku's got the hang of his fruit," Jabra said sitting by the S.H.C.
Usopp held his slingshot at him shaking. "Give up or you'll deal with me."
Jabra threw a key with a '1' on it. "There take it. I don't like killing."
Usopp bent over to pick up the key only for Jabra to jab him with ten fingers.
"Jusshigan! (Ten Finger Pistol!)" He sent Usopp into the wall.
"Ha-ha-ha Baka! (Idiot!) I'm a wolf, I'll outsmart my prey before attacking." He finished with a chuckle.
"Sogeking! (Sniper King.)" Nami yelled out to Usopp who was bleeding from the attack.
"That mask can't hide your stupidity, you should just run around screaming, you're great at that."
"Don't make fun of me." He picked up Kabuto and aimed it at Jabra. "Himawari Boshi! (Sunflower Star!)" The Ball was divided into five balls before exploding when they hit Jabra.
Boom!
"Wow, a fireworks show," Jabra said standing behind Usopp.
He kicked Usopp before dashing in front, hit him to the floor, and attacked him over and over again.
"Leave him alone!" Nami yelled running over lightning coming off her staff.
Jabra jumped to punch Nami creating a cloud of dust.
When it cleared it showed Naruto holding Jabra's fist. "Now that's not nice, I came here after beating Kusaro only to find a mutt attacking my friend."
Jabra's eyes widened at that.
'He defeated Kusaro?' He thought before Naruto started spinning around and threw Jabra into the wall.
"You OK Nami-chan?" Naruto asked as he picked up Nami who nodded.
They heard a pained groan as Usopp twitched from his spot. "I got his key, and someone's itching for a fight so we won't have to worry about him. Should we wait for Zoro to finish?" He asked as Nami nodded.
"Yeah, it will be easier if we go in a group."
Sanji walked in lighting a cigarette. "Who the hell are you?" Jabra asked as Sanji looked at him blood coming down from his head.
Sanji pulled the cigarette from his mouth and smirked. "I'm the hunter."
Nami looked at Sanji wide-eyed. "Sanji, how did you get your body back?"
Sanji explained that a tub fell, and got him wet. "More important Nami-chan…" Sanji turned around to the hearts coming from him. "Will you fall in love with me all over again?"
She deadpanned at the cook. "I wish that bathtub would have fallen on your head."
Naruto face-palmed seeing Sanji. "Sanji focus we still need to save Robin-chan."
Sanji became serious again as Usopp rose on his hands and knees. He coughed up a little blood.
"I... I'm sorry Sanji… I tried. But I couldn't."
Sanji glanced down as Gina ran up to them. "You're alive, that's all that matters. We all have things we can, and can't do."
Sanji walked to the hole Chopper made. "Look outside." They all looked and gasped as Naruto cursed.
"Shit the gates are opening," he said seeing the cracks in the gates.
"But how? Luffy should have caught up to Robin by now," Nami said as Naruto thought for a minute.
"Well, the only ones left to fight are these two." He pointed to Kaku and Jabra.
"And Lucci who's with Spandam," Gina said looking at the gates
Naruto's eyes widened. "Lucci must be fighting Luffy while Spandam is taking Robin to the gates." Nami's and Gina's eyes widened at that.
"Leave this guy to me," Sanji said turning to Jabra. "I'll stay here and do what you can't do." He said to Usopp. "And you do what I can't do, read the situation Usopp." Usopp turned to Sanji.
"Because with you, there's still a chance to save Robin-chan," Usopp remembered Robin's words.
"I WANT TO LIVE!"
Usopp's eyes widened behind his mask."What... I can do that."
Jabra let out a howl before licking his lips and staring at Sanji. "Soru! (Shave!)"
Sanji glanced behind him. "Leave now!" Nodding Nami picked up Usopp as the others left.
"Hurry up we'll look for the way to the gates!" Naruto yelled going into the hall.
"Tekkai Kenpo: Okami Hajiki! (Iron Body Kung Fu: Wolf Bullet!)" Jabra punched Sanji who blocked it with his leg creating a shock wave.
Jabra kicked Sanji, having him fly out into the hall hitting a wall and making a dust cloud. "You're not so great, you're not even worth my time," Jabra said walking towards Sanji.
Up with the others, Usopp perked up. "I got it! We can still save Robin!" He then stood up and started running. "I've got it! I've got it!" He started running down the hall with the others following.
Jabra glanced at them for a second before Sanji dashed out of the smoke and kicked him in the face driving him into the wall. Sanji twirled around as he landed.
Jabra walked away from the wall holding his head. "Damn, he got me." Jabra looked to Sanji for a moment before attacking.
"Jusshigan! (Ten Finger Pistol!)" Sanji jumped over him and kicked him several times.
"Troisième Hachée! (Third-Rate Mincemeat!)" Jabra fell to his knees.
"Tekkai! (Iron Body!)" Sanji backflipped away as Jabra panted.
"Baka! (Idiot!) You think that hurt?" He asked Sanji who just stared. 'What the hell's up with that guy's kick?' Jabra thought as Sanji blew out smoke.
"That power that turns your body to iron is a pain in my ass," Sanji commented as Jabra stood up, and kicked him.
"Rankyaku: Korō! (Tempest Kick: Lone Wolf!)" His air wave skipped over to Sanji, who jumped over it and sent a barrage of kicks at Jabra.
Sanji landed and kicked him once more. "Veau Shot! (Veal Shot!)" Jabra crossed his arms and blocked the kick.
"Tekkai Kenpo! (Iron Body Kung Fu!) Didn't I tell you that your kicks don't hurt me?" Jabra dashed over and jabbed Sanji sending him into a wall. "Ha-ha-ha my Tekkai Kenpō: Rōga no Kamae. (Iron Body Kung Fu: Wolf Fang Stance.) I'm the only user of Rokushiki. (Six Powers.) Who can use Tekkai? (Iron Body.) freely!?" Jabra explained as Sanji jumped up in the air.
"You're telling me as if I care." Sanji attacked with another barrage of kicks. "Deuxième Hachée! (Second-Rate Mincemeat!)" Jabra was sent back into a wall.
"Is he done?" Sanji asked as the dust cleared showing Jabra with his head down.
"Finally a worthy opponent." He said before looking at Sanji. "Promise me something... Save Robin for me." Sanji raised an eyebrow at that.
"What, why?"
Jabra went on to explain how Robin was his lost sister. "Please save her."
"Alright," Sanji replied reaching down to get the key Jabra threw on the ground.
Jabra smirked and attacked Sanji who kicked him up to the ceiling having his head go through. "Do you think I would fall for that crap?! Robin-chan's your long-lost Sister? Dumb ass, I'll have to kick your ass twice as hard for that one."
Jabra pulled himself down only to see Sanji running away. "Teme. (Bastard.) I'm the one who tricks people stop stealing my gimmick! Soru! (Shave!)" Jabra dashed to Sanji who backflipped and kicked him in the face.
Skidding down the hall Sanji started backflipping to him. "Pāteī Tēburu." Sanji jumped over Jabra and kicked him in the thigh. "Kyuisō Shūto! (Party Table: Thigh Shoot!)"
Sanji jumped into the air, spun around, and kicked Jabra again. "Brochette! (Skewer!)" Jabra sat up dodging at the last second.
"Damn, twerp! If you want to get hurt that badly, I'll oblige you." Jabra said before smirking. "I'll show you the true strength of Tekkai Kenpō (Iron Body Kung Fu.)" He finished before getting down on his hands, and knees.
"Tekkai Kenpō: Rōba no Kamae! (Iron Body: Wolf-Banna Stance!)" Jabra started moving around the hall at high speed. "Rōkaru Erea Nettowāku! (Wolf Hunt Highspeed Scratch!)" Jabra slashed at Sanji with both hands with speed making it look like multiple hands.
Sanji jumped out of the way only for Jabra to punch him in his stomach. "Tekkai Kenpō: Don Pōrō! (Iron Body Kung Fu: Important Wolf Step!)" Sanji was sent to the other side of the building.
Jabra jumped onto a railing and laughed. "How's that Tekkai? (Iron Body.) Punch feel? Geppo! (Moon Walk!)" Jabra dashed over and kicked at Sanji. "Rankyaku: Rupusu Fōru! (Tempest Kick: Lupas Fall!)" Four projectiles in the shape of a wolf came at Sanji.
As they connected, Jabra landed with a howl."Baka! (Idiot!) Did you think you could take me on? I'm a wolf, I won't stop chasing my prey until you're in my jaw."
Sanji stood up holding his right shoulder. "I'm not going anywhere, I'm not going to die, and I'm not going to forgive you."
Jabra raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Forgive me, for what? The way we treated that bitch Robin?" Sanji glared at him.
"Watch your damn mouth Wolf you don't want to see me mad, I tend to... Overheat when I'm mad."
"Don't be throwing around threats. It's pretty obvious you're injured, but I'm happy to end you." Jabra said with a grin before attacking.
"Tekkai Kenpō: Matenrō! (Iron Body Kung Fu: Devil Wolf!)" Sanji blocked Jabra's kick creating a shock wave sending Sanji to his back.
Jabra laughed loudly as Sanji did a kip-up. "Laugh while you can. You won't be for long." Sanji said before he started spinning around at high speeds.
"What are you going to make me dizzy?" Jabra asked with a smirk as Sanji stopped with a red glow coming from his right leg.
'What the hell…? Why is his leg red?' Jabra thought as Sanji lifted his glowing red/orange leg.
"Foot of the devil: Diaburu Janbu. (Diable Jambe.) The heat I generated from that spinning will cause my kicks to burn right through you."
Sanji dashed to Jabra and kicked him in the stomach. "The heat of its destructive power burns hotter than the flames of hell." Jabra was sent flying back to the other side creating a crater in the wall.
When the smoke cleared it showed Jabra with a burn injury on his stomach. He fell to the floor rolling around. "Hot, hot, hot. Even my bones feel like they're melting."
Sanji jumped over as Jabra stood up. "Baka. (Idiot.) you don't go in the air against a Rokushiki. (Six Powers.) Geppo! (Moon Walk!)" Jabra jumped over Sanji as He tried to kick him with both feet.
"Premier Hachis! (First-Rate Mincemeat!)" Jabra dashed down to jab Sanji with both hands but Sanji used his left leg to deflect Jabra's left hand but his right one connected.
"So you stopped one hand. If your other kick landed you would've stopped me." Jabra taunted as Sanji smirked.
"Well I had no other choice, I needed to get close to you to finish you off with my last kick." Jabra looked at him confused. "Diable Jambe: Flambage Shot! (Diable Jamebe: Flambé Shot!)" Sanji kicked Jabra in the junction of his left shoulder, and neck sending him down.
Jabra screamed as he fell hard creating a crater in the floor as Sanji landed. "Kami (God) may have created food... But the Akuma. (devil.) created its spices." Sanji said as his leg went back to normal. "If you think my kicks were hot, my heart was burning even hotter." He finished walking away with a limp.
He looked up to the room Zoro, and Kaku was still fighting in and saw smoke come out, as well as the top half of the tower move.
"What the hell is Marimo (Mosshead) doing? He'll bring the tower down." Sanji commented as some debris fell as he ran down the hall.
He came up to yellow arrows with 'Gates of Justice this way' written on the walls going down the halls. "Guess I should follow it, Nami-swan, Gina-swan, and the others are on their way to the gates," Sanji said before following after the arrows.
Spandam, and Robin.
Spandam was pulling a bruised Robin's hair up the stairs to the top of the bridge. "Can't you move any faster?" He asked as he pulled her hair harder.
When they made it to the top, Spandam started laughing. "This is it, the 'Bridge of Hesitation'." He pulled Robin up. "Take a look, Robin." Robin looked forward, and her eyes widened seeing the gates open slightly.
"I've finally made it, I'll admit it was scary for a moment there, but as soon as I walk through that gate I'll be the Government's hero... No, I'll be the entire world's hero." Spandam finished before hearing something.
"Impressive."
Spandam blinked as he heard a voice before looking to his left and saw Naruto standing beside him, arms crossed.
"Shame it won't be used." Naruto then grabbed Spandam threw him across the bridge and unlocked Robin's cuffs who immediately hugged and kissed him once she was free.
Naruto hugged her before breaking the kiss and pulled his Chakura Tō (Chakra Blade) out as Marines ran from the other side of the bridge. Grinning, he dashed at the group as he held the knife in a reverse grip.
Luffy Vs Lucci.
Luffy was crouching looking at Lucci who was standing calmly with his hands in his pockets.
"Hasn't it sunk in yet?" Lucci asked Luffy who glared at him. "Fight as hard as you can, I'm not letting you get through that door."
Luffy snorted before standing up. "No, you don't get it. No matter how hard you fight, I'll still get past you." Luffy finished before attacking.
"Gomu Gomu no... Gataringu! (Gum Gum Gatling!)" Lucci dodged everyone, and Luffy tried kicking him but was punched into the floor.
A moment later Franky came in just as Luffy crashed beside him. Luffy crouched as Franky stared at him."Oh, it's just Straw Hat." Franky said as Luffy turned to him.
"It's you, Franky, I've got enough jerks to deal with."
Franky's eyebrow twitched before he aimed his left arm at Lucci. "Need help taking him down?" Franky asked as Luffy shook his head.
"No, Robin's passed that door heading to the gates you go after her," Luffy said as Franky smirked.
Zoro Vs Kaku.
Zoro jumped in the air and brought two swords down in an 'X' shape on Kaku who blocked with his nose.
"Just so we're clear," Kaku said pushing Zoro back. "Even though I'm in this form, I like meat."
Zoro stood up from his crouched position and scoffed. "And just so we're clear, I don't give a damn." Zoro pulled his bandanna off his arm and tied it around his head.
"Anyway I need that key, if I can't make it in time this will be for nothing." Zoro held Kitestu in his left hand above Yubashiri both pointing towards his right side.
"Nitoryu: Nigiri! (Two Sword Style: Double Slash!)"
Kaku smirked at him. "What are you supposed to be stronger when wearing that bandanna on your head?" Zoro smirked right back.
"Let's find out." Zoro dashed at him and swung his swords up while jumping with two air projectiles coining up after.
"Tōrō! (Tower Climb!)" Kaku leaned back as Zoro swung down, another two projectiles coming down. "Ōtōrō! (Tower Climb Return!)" Kaku leaned back again before Zoro swung his swords and sent two projectiles hitting his nose. "Hirameki! (Flash!)" Zoro swung to his left. "Samon! (Sand Drawing!)" Kaku ducked under the attack.
"You've left yourself a blind spot," Kaku said before striking Zoro with his neck.
"Kama Kirin! (Giraffe Scythe!)" Zoro crashed into the ground as Kaku smirked at his downed form. "Tekkai: Mushikaku! (Iron Body: Edgewise!)" Kaku started bending his neck, and legs until he was in a cubed shape.
"No blind spots."
Zoro's eyebrow twitched. "So what?! If you can't move who cares?!" Zoro yelled at him.
"You seem to be forgetting something," Kaku said as Zoro stared at him.
"Giraffes have four legs Rankyaku! (Tempest Kick!)" Kaku started kicking all four of his 'legs' that were comically waving.
"WILL YOU TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY!?" Zoro yelled at Kaku who just smirked.
"I am," Kaku replied glancing up causing Zoro to do the same.
Zoro saw sparkles covering the ceiling."The attack goes up and bounces off the ceiling... And then come raining down."
Air projectiles came 'raining' down on Zoro. "Rankyaku: Kiri Shigure! (Tempest Kick: Giraffe Shower!)" Zoro started blocking, but eventually held his sword above his head."Tekkai! (Iron Body!)" Kaku protected himself as his attack started coming down on him.
'There's too many of them.' Zoro thought as the attack cut his hands, arms, and legs.
When the attack finished Zoro was panting as blood seeped out of his wounds.
"Bigan! (Nose Pistol!)" Kaku jabbed Zoro who blocked the attack with his swords sending him back across the room.
"Teme. (Bastard.)" Zoro said panting as he stood.
"You're quite resilient... For a human but I'm a giraffe, boy." Kaku taunted with a smirk. "Is that your superhero name Giraffe-boy?" Zoro asked wiping some blood from his mouth.
Kaku gained a tick mark at that "Giraffe-boy? It's just giraffe fool." Kaku said angrily to Zoro.
"Now it's Giraffe-fool?"
Kaku's eyebrow twitched at Zoro's taunting. "You're the fool!"
Zoro sheathed Kitestu and Yubashiri. "Listen to yourself, who cares if you're a giraffe, boy, or whatever?" Zoro said pulling Wado by the sheath out. "If you're a swordsman, let your swords do the talking." He finished holding Wado with two hands.
Kaku scoffed at him. "If you think you can get under my skin, you're wasting your time." The wind picked up blowing Zoro's jacket slightly.
"I'm not going under your skin... I'm going to cut straight through." Zoro looked up at him. "And if you use that Tekkai. (Iron Body.)... I'll cut through that too." Zoro finished with a glare.
"You're quite the comedian aren't you?" Kaku asked raising an eyebrow. "Cutting through my Tekkai. (Iron Body.) I just don't see how you can." Kaku finished as Zoro just stared at him.
"Just sit back and watch Giraffe-boy." Zoro twirled Wado around and held the handle in his left hand. "Ittōryū Iai: Shishi Sonson! (One Sword Style Sword Draw: Lion's Song!)" Kaku jumped in the air as Zoro came up.
"Rankyaku: Rōdan! (Tempest Kick: Dragon Cut!)" Kaku blocked the attack as Zoro stopped behind him holding Wado by his hip.
"Tekkai (Iron Body.) isn't the issue if you can cut me at all," Kaku said to Zoro who glanced back.
"Alright, I'll have to take a different approach," Zoro said turning around and exhaling deeply. "Ichi Gorilla! (One Gorilla!)" Zoro's left arm became more muscular. "Ni Gorilla! (Two Gorilla!)" His right arm became more muscular as he put Wado in his mouth.
"Now Santoryu! (Three Sword Style!)" Zoro held his swords above his head as Kaku smirked.
"A test of strength then?" Kaku bent his neck pack before jabbing it forward. "Bigan! (Nose Pistol!)" Zoro jumped up and slashed with two swords, hitting Kaku's nose.
"Nigori-Zake! (Two Gorilla Slash!)" After a moment Zoro was able to push Kaku across the room and land down.
"Didn't think you would lose did ya? You never even thought I would be stronger than you? Well, wake up!" Zoro said to Kaku who had his head down, leaning against the wall. "I'll make you face the truth." Zoro finished as Kaku stared intensely at him.
"I can say the same to you. You still haven't seen the true power of a giraffe." Zoro just stared back.
"Then shut up, and show me."
Luffy Vs. Lucci.
"Take this Gomu Gomu no... Gatoringu! (Gum Gum Gatling!)" Luffy attacked Lucci who weaved in between the attack.
"Kami-e! (Paper Art's!)" Luffy grabbed one of Lucci's fists with his hand while blocking the other with his foot.
"Gomu Gomu no... Pistoru! (Gum Gum Pistol!)" Lucci disappeared behind Luffy and kicked him over to Franky who jumped out of the way.
"Straw Hat!" Franky yelled before he continued running to the closed door.
"Rankyaku! (Tempest Kick!)" Lucci sent a few waves at him.
"Gomu Gomu no... Rocketto! (Gum Gum Rocket!)" Luffy crashed into Lucci stopping him. Luffy pulled his arm back. "Gomu Gomu no... Bazūka! (Gum Gum Bazooka!)"
Lucci grabbed both of Luffy's hands stopping the attack. "Good you got him," Franky said holding his left arm out.
"No, go I'll handle him." Franky looked at Luffy like he was crazy. "What? We need to work as a team he's too strong." Luffy shook his head.
"No he's my opponent, I need to beat him, you need to get to Robin before she crosses the bride."
Franky's eyes widened remembering back to when he tried to stop the Sea-train.
Lucci flashed behind Luffy, and tried to attack only for Luffy to wrap his limbs around him."Go now!" Nodding, Franky left as Lucci jumped in the air.
"Geppo! (Moon Walk!)"
He slammed Luffy on the floor creating a crater."Soru! (Shave!)" Lucci dashed in front of Franky. "Shigan! (Finger Pistol!)" He tried to jab Franky but Luffy grabbed his arm.
"If you want a fight... Then fight me."
Zoro Vs. Kaku.
Kaku got on all fours and pulled his neck back in his body. "Kirin Hōdai! (Giraffe Cannon!)"
Zoro raised an eyebrow. "There's nothing natural about that." He said before Kaku lunged at him.
"Kyōku Bigan: Kirimanjaro! (Extreme Nose Pistol: Giraffe Blast!)" Zoro dodged to the right as Kaku's neck went past him.
"I told you... That neck's a weak point."
"Keep telling yourself that Rankyaku: Neji Hakujin! (Tempest Kick: Spinning White Blade!)" Kaku brought his body to him spinning while kicking.
Zoro blocked as the attack hit him."Why don't you worry about your weak points." Kaku said before pulling his neck back in. "Kirin Hōdai! (Giraffe Cannon!)" His limbs suddenly grew long. "Damn it, I pushed my neck in too far," Kaku said looking down.
"What kind of messed up body do you have?!" Zoro yelled at Kaku who was still looking down.
"It's like pushing the dough through a hole, like a pasta machine," Kaku explained before standing up and getting in a stance. "Pasuta Mashin! (Pasta Machine!)" Zoro gained a tick mark and yelled at him.
"Don't act like you did that on purpose!" Kaku started at him for a moment.
"A long neck is nice... But long limbs like these are handy as well." Kaku puts his arms in an 'X' shape in front of him. "A pro like me can turn any unexpected moment into an opportunity." He explained before attacking. "Kirimanjaro! (Giraffe Blast!)" He extended his neck out.
"That's the same damn move you just used!" Zoro yelled before taking a deep breath and calming down.
"Santoryu: Tatsu Maki! (Three Sword Style: Dragon Twister!)" Zoro spins around as Kaku closes in hitting him in the jaw with the twister.
"It's too strong Soru! (Shave!)" Kaku dashed away as Zoro's attack went through the ceiling. "Geppo! (Moon Walk!)" Kaku went into the hole that was made.
"Now what? He can't be running away?" Zoro asked as Kaku was gone for a moment.
"Pasuta Mashin! (Pasta Machine!)" Kaku came back down holding his swords with his limbs long and slashed Zoro who blocked.
"Did you forget I'm a Yontoryu (Four Sword Style.) Master?" Kaku attacked Zoro with his swords, and legs as Zoro blocked everyone. "You've done well so far, but now it's over!" Kaku yelled as he continued attacking.
"Even if you're a powerful, wild animal," Zoro said as he continued to block Kaku's attacks. "So what if you can attack with that long neck? Even if you can use Yontoryu. (Four Sword Style.)" He continued being pushed back.
Zoro deflected Kaku's attack stopping him as he stared in shock. "He deflected all four blades?" Kaku asked surprised as he stared down at Zoro.
"Because none of those things... Will give you the strength to defeat me!" Zoro finished glaring up at Kaku."
You're all talk, if you think you can take me down, then let's see what you got." Kaku said as Zoro leaned on his hands.
"Santoryu." Zoro's eyes glowed green as he jumped forward spinning.
'Is he flying at me?' Kaku thought as Zoro closed in.
"Hyō Kin Dama! (Three Sword Style: Leopard Spinning Balls!)" Zoro's swords formed a ball shape as he went past Kaku who dodged.
Kaku groaned in pain as he was cut. 'Impossible I could have sworn he missed me.' Kaku thought as he turned his head to look behind him at Zoro who stared behind his shoulder.
"What was that? Did he predict which way I would have dodged?" He finished as Zoro turned around.
"Oh come on, don't look so surprised," Zoro said as Kaku sat up. "With the way you fight, I find it hard to believe you haven't been cut by a blade." He finished as Kaku smirked.
"Well, it seems you have something to back up your boasts I won't underestimate you again," Kaku said before kicking at him multiple times. "Rankyaku: Shuriken! (Tempest Kick: Shuriken!)" The waves went in the shape of shurikens.
Zoro deflected everyone before Kaku jabbed him in the stomach with his nose.
"Kirimanjaro! (Giraffe Blast!)" He pushed Zoro away a few feet. "My neck's like a whip Henchikirin! (Whiplash!)" Kaku slammed his head down on Zoro and tried again, but Zoro rolled away. "Faster this time Mōchikirin! (Fierced Smash!)" He slammed his head down faster multiple times.
"Think you can defeat me now?!" Kaku asked/yelled when he stopped and glared down. "And now a taste of my Yontoryu. (Four Sword Style.)" Kaku attacked Zoro with his sword but he blocked it.
Kaku attacked with both swords and legs as Zoro blocked everyone. "Come on all you're doing is blocking," Kaku said before landing a hit. "You pirates sure are sorely mistaken if you think you can go up against the World Government. A mistake punishable by death! The same can be said by Nico Robin."
Purple-black energy covered Zoro for a moment. "You teme. (Bastard.)" Zoro pointed his sword at Kaku who stopped seeing multiple hands.
'What the hell was that? It was like he was a demon. A god of war with three faces, and six arms.' Kaku thought wide-eyed as he stared at Zoro, eyes shadowed by his bandanna.
'But that's impossible! I must be seeing things!' He finished as Zoro looked over to him.
"Your mouth just crossed the line... Now you're going to pay you arrogant freak." Zoro said darkly to Kaku who just stared.
"Is that so? Did I offend you? I'll just end this now with the same move that crippled this tower." Kaku said before he started spinning slowly, and picked up speed.
"This will be over in an instant, this time it'll be twice as strong!" The wind picked up and blew Zoro's jacket as his bandanna still shadowed his eyes.
"You're right, it's over for you." He said as a dark aura covered the ground, and behind him blowing the gust from Kaku's attack away.
"Kiki Kyūtōryū: Ashura! (Nine Sword Style: Asura!)"
Suddenly Zoro manifested four arms and two more heads. Two arms held swords above him, and the other two held swords below him. One face looked right holding a sword pointing to the front, and one head looked left holding a sword pointed to the back. An image of a person with six arms manifested behind him for a moment.
'"There's that demon again, is he making that illusion from willpower alone?' Kaku thought as he was still spinning.
"Nice try but you're too late." He said to Zoro who just stared.
"It's too late for you." Zoro said with the other 'heads' lips moving also as he crossed all 'six' of his swords.
"Amene Dachi! (Sky Slicer!)" Kaku kicked Zoro sending a wave that hit him.
Zoro, after remembering everything that's happened since coming to Enies Lobby screamed, uncrossed his swords, and sliced the attack into mist-like particles.
"That's impossible! he slashed it into nothing but mist!" Kaku yelled in disbelief as Zoro jumped up in the air towards him pointing his sword's at him.
"You did well I commend you, suffering is welcomed on the path to bloodshed," Zoro said before he slashed Kaku, and landed behind him, holding all of his swords so they looked like they were fanning out.
"Ashura: Ichibugin! (Asura: Silver Mist!)"
Blood flew out of Kaku who fell to his knees, changed into his human form, and fell to his back.
Zoro panted as he went back to normal, and took off his bandanna.
After a moment of silence, he spoke up. "I've got a message from your other boss from Galley-La. He said... You're all fired." Zoro said glancing behind him at the prone Kaku.
Kaku panted staring up at the sky from the hole he made, remembering back to where he was flying across the buildings of Water Seven.
"Paulie huh? Too bad assassination skills don't come in handy for other lines of work." Kaku said painfully as Zoro raised an eyebrow.
"You could always work at a zoo."
Kaku chuckled painfully. "OK, That was a good one."
Kaku reached into his front jacket pocket and pulled out his key. He dropped it as he fell into unconsciousness.
"Sorry," Zoro said as he walked over, and picked up the key.
As he looked at the 'Gates of Justice' through the ceiling, he heard footsteps. Turning around he saw Sanji slide in front of the door.
"Marimo (Moss-head) did you get the key?" He asked as Zoro nodded.
"Yeah just now."
Nodding Sanji walked over, hands in his pockets. "Good, although it looks like you two overdid it." He commented looking at the damage to the room. "Think it'll be safe?"
"Yeah." Zoro threw a key to Sanji with a '5' on it. "Now we have all the keys, let's save Robin."
Nodding they ran out of the room.
Luffy Vs. Lucci.
Lucci jabbed Franky multiple times having him fall.
"Now you all die," Lucci said darkly before being punched by something at high speed.
"Gomu Gomu no Jetto Pistoru! (Gum Gum Jet Pistol!)"
Wide-eyed Franky, and saw Luffy crouched with one hand on his left knee, and right fist on the ground, whose skin looked pink with a shine, with steam coming off him.
"What the hell? What's with all that steam?" Franky asked as Luffy looked up.
"Gia Sekando. (Second Gear.)"
Lucci sat up holding his face as Luffy, who kept his eyes on him addressed Franky. "I can't keep my body like this for long... I'll damn sure stop him so you go on ahead and hurry! Robin's waiting." Franky gave him a thumbs-up before leaving.
And stopped seeing Lucci in his hybrid form, eyes glowing red.
"I said you wouldn't get past me."
Franky yelled out. "Another Akuma no Mi (Devil Fruit!)"
Lucci disappeared as Franky looked around.
Luffy jumped in front of them as Lucci did.
"Gomu Gomu no Jetto Wippu! (Gum Gum Jet Whip!)" Luffy quickly kicked him across the room.
Lucci got up and stared at Luffy. "Don't you remember? This is the form I was in when I beat you with one move." Luffy nodded looking at him.
"Yeah, sure... But I was really hungry that day." Lucci dashed in front of him.
"Shigan! (Finger Pistol!)" Luffy dodged by jumping in the air.
"Gomu Gomu no Jetto Bazūka! (Gum Gum Jet Bazooka!)" Luffy hits Lucci in the stomach with both hands.
"Tekkai! (Iron Body!)"
Lucci tried to block but was sent flying back to the other side of the room. Franky ran through the door.
"Franky you got to save Robin!" Luffy yelled over his shoulder as Franky nodded.
"Just SUPER leave it to me!" Franky yelled over his shoulder as he continued running.
