Chapter 33
Chapter 33
Naruto, Sanji, Sasuke, and Law all stared at Arlong, who had gotten up to his feet and slowly walked towards them.
They took battle stances as Arlong slowly started to jog and then ran into a full sprint. He was fast, but the trio ran right at the fishman.
Sanji ran for a little and then began to sky walk while Naruto and Sasuke ran side by side. Sanji front flipped in mid air to axe kick Arlong, who blocked it and pushed Sanji away.
Naruto came up with a punch and Sasuke attempted to hit Arlong with his Amaterasu sword.
Arlong swayed back from Naruto's punch and threw a kick, which Naruto dodged, and ducked Sasuke's Amaterasu sword attack and threw an uppercut, Sasuke backflipped out the way.
Law then came in swinging his sword, but Arlong blocked the slashes easily and kicked Law away then jumped away from the four of them.
They all continued to look at Arlong while the fishman stared back with a smile. They all charged each other again and Sanji threw kicks, Naruto threw quick punches, and Sasuke continued to swing his Amaterasu sword.
Arlong dodged and blocked their attacks with ease.
"Room!" Law yelled.
A giant blue orb took over the battlefield. Arlong looked around. Law pulled pulled his finger towards himself and the broken rocks that Arlong crashed into came hurtling towards him. Arlong smiled as the rocks crashed into him. Law became surprised.
"Huh? It didn't hurt him?" Law asked.
"Of course not! Those puny rocks aren't hurting this body!" Arlong said, springing towards Law.
"Shambles!" Law yelled as he disappeared.
Arlong's fist slammed into the ground and when he turned to look for Law, Naruto's fist came crashing into him.
BOOOOOOOMMMMM!
Naruto punched Arlong's head clean into the ground with a heavy blow.
"Sanji!" Naruto yelled.
Sanji nodded and sky walked into the air. When he had enough height he started to front flip slowly until he picked up major speed and formed a wheel of fire.
"DIABLE JAMBE: CONCASSE!" Sanji yelled as he hurtled towards the ground in a wheel of fire.
VRRRRROOOOOOMMMM!
The ground cracked and exploded underneath Sanji and Arlong. Heat spreading throughout the battlefield. Naruto, Sasuke, and Law jumped away. A hole formed in the ground that Arlong and Sanji fell into but Law had the cook covered.
"Shambles!" Law yelled, teleporting Sanji back next to them. All of the men took a second to breathe. As Arlong fell into the ocean below.
"This guy is tough…" Naruto said.
"Agreed. For someone relying on raw strength it's surprising he can keep up with us and do so much damage." Sasuke added.
"He was strong when Luffy fought him two years ago, but this? This is unreal." Sanji noted.
"It's because he trained with Psycho and Cyclone." Law said.
Sasuke, Naruto, and Sanji looked at Law.
"He trained with them?" Naruto asked.
"Yes. DEATH's three generals all trained under Psycho and Cyclone in durability, speed, and strength training. It's almost a requirement to be a DEATH general to train under them." Law explained.
"How do you know all that?" Sanji asked.
"Because, I was a DEATH general a little while back, roughly a few months ago." Law confessed.
The three looked at him with shock.
"Me and the former warlord, Hancock, we realized that this DEATH stuff wasn't up our alley and we decided to leave, Psycho had my crew killed.. and Arlong is the one who did it, that's why I'm here today fighting with him." Law explained.
Naruto thought about it.
FLASHBACK
"DO NOT get involved with that man! He's too dangerous." Hancock stressed.
"Psycho needs to pay for what he did to my crew, to me, and to someone very important to me." Hancock said
END OF FLASHBACK
Naruto looked back towards the ground and stood to his feet.
"You leave this guy to us, Luffy. You kick Psycho's ass!" Naruto thought to himself.
In the water Arlong was staring up towards the surface.
"They're doing a lot more damage than I expected. How did they go from no chemistry to having chemistry good enough to beat me up? Grgh." Arlong thought to himself, "It's time for me to turn this fight up and stop messing around!"
Arlong straightened himself out in the water and spund rapidly and boosted towards the surface. The men all kept talking until they heard a noise.
"Anybody hear that?" Sasuke asked.
Law looked at the water closely. Something was about to shoot out of the water.
"Arlong! He's about to!" Law was cut off by Arlong shooting out of the water spinning rapidly.
Arlong's target was random, but he was about to hit Sanji. Suddenly, shuriken wrapped around the fishman and pulled him away from the cook.
Kakashi was shown to have thrown string tied shuriken around the giant fish man and pulled him through the ground and lifted him into the air.
Kakashi streamed lightening through the strings and up to Arlong where it shocked him.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" Arlong yelled.
Kakashi threw his arms towards the ground and sent Arlong slamming into the ground in a ball of lightening.
BOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!
Small sparks and dust filled Arlong's crash site. Kakashi huffed and puffed.
"Old man!" Sanji yelled.
Naruto and Sasuke smiled. Law smirked.
"That hit Arlong gave you earlier, I thought you were through." Law stated.
Kakashi stood up.
"I've taken bigger hits." Kakashi said.
In the crater Arlong was filled with boiling anger.
"EVERY SINGLE TIME! EVERY ATTACK GETS ME KNOCKED AWAY OR SLAMMED INTO SOMETHING! I'M TIRED OF IT! I WILL NOT LOSE TO THESE WEAKLINGS!" Arlong yelled to himself.
Suddenly, the ground started to shake.
"Huh? What's going on?" Sasuke asked.
"I think Arlong is angry now." Law said.
Everyone looked over at the dust as Arlong swiped it away. His body was bruised with small cuts here and there.
Arlong had no pupils and veins all over his head from anger. Naruto activated chakra mode and charged him.
"He wants to get mad. Then we'll get mad too!" Naruto said, activating chakra mode once more.
GRAND LINE WATERS
Luffy and Hancock sailed in a small boat, on their way to Marineford where Robin and Zoro were expected to be.
"I sure hope Robin and Zoro are okay." Luffy said.
Hancock looked towards the water and didn't say anything.
"Hey, you okay? Hammock?" Luffy asked.
Hancock bit her lower lip.
"Are you going to say anything?" Luffy asked again.
Hancock still looked forward. Luffy became angry.
"Hey! What's your deal? How can you help me get away from everyone and tell me you loved me just to be quie-."
"I DON'T LOVE YOU ANYMORE LUFFY!" Hancock yelled.
Luffy's face changed to worry.
"Hammo-."
"MY NAME IS HANCOCK! HAN-COCK!" Hancock yelled.
Luffy's worry turned to even more anger.
"DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO! YOU BASTARD!" Luffy yelled.
Hancock turned around and grabbed Luffy's collar.
"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU'RE TALKING TO WITH THAT FILTHY MOUTH YOU PUNK?!" Hancock yelled.
Luffy grabbed her collar back.
"I'M TALKING TO YOU! YOU SAID YOU LOVED ME AND HELPED ME EARLIER BUT NOW YOU'RE ACTING DIFFERENT!" Luffy yelled.
"GRGH! LET GO OF ME!" Hancock demanded, throwing Luffy around.
The two squabbled a little before they ended up stopping, staring at each other, Luffy with anger, as well as Hancock, but that would turn into sorrow on Hancock's part. Hancock dropped Luffy and turned back around towards the sea.
Hancock covered her eyes with her hand, but tears still crept through.
MARINEFORD
Psycho, with Whitebeard's jacket hung over his shoulders, took a stance. Blackbeard stared at the man with an angry expression.
"VORTEX!" Blackbeard yelled, sucking Psycho in.
Psycho reached into his leg sash and pulled out shuriken through his fingers and threw them at Blackbeard as he launched towards him.
The shuriken stuck into Blackbeard's chest causing great pain. The vortex stopped and Psycho used this opportunity to pull out a kunai and attempt to cut Blackbeard.
Blackbeard punched cracks in the air as defense with every slice Psycho threw at him. Psycho ducked and swept Blackbeard off his feet and swung his leg around and axe kicked Blackbeard's head into the ground.
BOOOOOOMMMMMMM!
"Psycho-san sure is doing a number on Blackbeard!" Doflamingo, chuckled.
"He makes it look so easy." Kaku noted.
"Of course he does, he's not the leader for no reason." Kuro said.
Psycho stared down at Blackbeard. Blackbeard stared up at Psycho.
"BLACK HOLE!" Blackbeard yelled as he sucked himself into the ground.
Robin watched the fight.
"He can use his own darkness to travel?" Robin asked, Helmeppo was finally right behind her and raised his blade.
"Die! Pirate!" Helmeppo yelled to himself.
Psycho kept his cool and closed his eyes. Darkness gathered at Psycho's feet and Blackbeard attempted to grab Psycho's legs, but Psycho back flipped into the air.
"That darkness is going to be a problem this entire fight, unless…" Psycho thought to himself.
Psycho pulled a scroll out of his pocket and unraveled it. At this point, Blackbeard had emerged from his darkness.
"SUMMONING!" Psycho yelled and a cloud of smoke appeared around his hand.
Blackbeard's face turned into fright at what appeared out of the smoke. A long staff with a blade at the end of it conjured into Psycho's hand. Psycho landed and spun the weapon around rapidly before holding it behind his back and one arm out, his thumb and two fingers out.
"Bisento blade." Psycho said.
Blackbeard became furious.
"FIRST THE OLD MAN'S JACKET AND NOW HIS WEAPON!" Blackbeard yelled, "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!?"
Psycho leered at Blackbeard.
"I'm a ghost of your past transgressions, Teach. You didn't come here today to capture me, you came here purely by fate." Psycho explained.
"FATE FATE FATE!!! I'LL SHOW YOU WHO'S FATE IS DEATH!" Blackbeard yelled as charged a punch but an explosion in the Marineford palace interrupted the fight.
BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!
A giant fist punched through the tough stone wall and Helmeppo was falling from the palace.
Inside the hole in the wall, Robin had her arms crossed, breathing in and out. She looked over the battlefield at the DEATH members and navy officers who fought.
"Everyone can see me..." Robin thought.
"A GIANT FIST! WHO WAS IT? A GIANT?"
"LOOK! IT'S NICO ROBIN!"
"SHE'S RUINING THE BOSS'S ROOM!"
A navy officer looked up at the mention of Nico Robin and saw Robin in the room.
"Nico Robin! The devil child is here!" The officer said.
"What's she doing here!? She must be a DEATH member as well!" Another man said.
"She must be! Did she leave the straw hats?" A captain asked.
"Don't let her leave here alive!" An officer commanded.
Psycho looked over towards the marines making their way towards the Marineford palace entrance. Blackbeard took notice.
Before anyone could make another move Blackbeard charged and grabbed Psycho's face, covering Psycho's cursed eye. Blackbeard smiled, but his eyes were hidden by shadow.
"USE YOUR POWERS NOW!" Blackbeard yelled as a bullet was shot into Psycho's body.
Psycho's free eye widened and he coughed up a little blood. Everyone looked towards the two. Robin was shocked. Blood spewed from Psycho's wound.
"He just shot him!" Robin yelled to herself.
Cyclone just stared at Psycho. Doflamingo, Kaku, Lucci, and Kuro watched as well.
Blackbeard continued to shoot rounds into Psycho's body, making it a bloody mess. The more Blackbeard shot Psycho he coughed up blood and blood dripped from his body.
Blackbeard finished it off by pressing his gun to Psycho's head. Robin's eyes became wide.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Robin yelled out of pure instinct.
"ZE HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!" Blackbeard laughed and pulled the trigger.
Psycho's head was blown back from the shot and blood shout out of his head.
Psycho fell onto the ground, his eyes rolled into the back of his head. His face and body bloody. Blackbeard wasn't done and grabbed a sword and began cutting Psycho's body.
Kaku, Kuro, Lucci, and Doflamingo got ready to jump in, but Cyclone stopped them.
"This is his fight. Don't interfere." Cyclone said.
The four looked at Cyclone with surprise. They knew Psycho was tough, but this was too much. With each slash, Blackbeard laughed merrily.
"TALK THAT TOUGH TALK NOW PSYCHO-KUN!" Blackbeard taunted, "WHO CARES THAT I KILLED THATCH, WHITEBEARD, AND WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATH OF ACE!? THAT'S JUST THE WAY THE WORLD WORKS! AND NOW I'LL KILL YOU THE SAME WAY I DID THE OLD MAN… BUT SOMETHING DOESN'T LOOK RIGHT… YOU STILL HAVE A WHOLE FACE!" Blackbeard screamed.
Blackbeard got ready to cut off half of Psycho's face. Blackbeard held on for a moment and then swung the sword, but arms grabbed the sword.
"NUEVE FLUERS!" Robin yelled.
Blackbeard struggled to move as Robin jumped down from the room and stood in between Psycho and Blackbeard. Robin looked down at Psycho's motionless body.
"He's in really bad shape… he might be…" Robin's thoughts were interrupted by Blackbeard.
"VORTEX!" Blackbeard pulled Robin into his grasp.
"What the hell do you think you're doing getting involved in this you bitch!? I'll make you pay!" Blackbeard yelled.
"No! Stop!" Robin yelled.
Blackbeard loaded up a punch and punched Robin in the face. Blood showed early due to Blackbeard's brute strength.
DEATH members and navy alike all watched the brutal beat down Blackbeard administered. Robin couldn't use any of her powers due to Blackbeard's devil fruit.
"ZE HA HA HA HA HA! HOW DO YOU LIKE THIS?! AND THAT!" Blackbeard taunted as he continued to punch the hell out of Robin, swelling one of her eyes, and breaking her nose.
Robin's head leaked blood rapidly and didn't stop. Blackbeard smiled and charged a seaquake.
"Psycho was taken care of first! Now I'll kill his cheerleader!" Blackbeard yelled.
Robin's eyes were hidden by black and her mouth was wide open, blood sliding down her mouth and neck onto her clothes.
Blackbeard had charged his seaquake to the max and got ready to throw his back hand.
"Goodbye, Nico Robin!" Blackbeard yelled, before throwing his back hand.
BOOOOOOMMMMMM CRAAAAACK!
The seaquake hit with huge force and shook the entire island. The shockwave even knocked down multiple DEATH and navy officers.
Blackbeard was looking to the side, but when he looked back up… Psycho was in his grasp and had taken the full brunt of the attack.
Heavy amounts of blood ran down Psycho's face from underneath his forehead protector. Blackbeard looked down at the ground and Robin was in the position Psycho was in on the ground.
"What happened!? Did he switch places with her!?" Blackbeard asked himself in distress.
Psycho suddenly grabbed Blackbeard's arm tightly.
"Hey! Let me go!" Blackbeard yelled.
Psycho smiled. Blackbeard growled.
"I said let me go!" Blackbeard yelled, swinging his sword.
SLICE!
Blood flew through the air. Shocked faces of the armies showed all throughout the battlefield as Blackbeard's arm came off. Cyclone had cut clean through Blackbeard's arm.
Psycho fell to the ground on one knee. Blackbeard freaked out.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHH DAMN IT!" Blackbeard screamed in pain.
Angry and distressed, Blackbeard threw another seaquake at Psycho.
BOOM!
Psycho blocked it incredibly easy with his forearm and stood to his feet. He pushed away Blackbeard's fist and disappeared.
Blackbeard could barely react before he was punched in the stomach with incredible power. Blackbeard flew into a wall and fell onto the ground. When he looked up, Psycho stood over him, bruised and incredibly bloody.
"Grgh… get… get away from me!" Blackbeard whined.
Psycho stared.
"You know I can't do that Teach…" Psycho said.
Blackbeard held up his only good hand. Psycho conjured a clone with a hand sign and the clone grabbed the bisento staff, swinging it at Blackbeard's arm, cutting it off.
"AHHHHHHHH!" Blackbeard yelled in searing pain.
All the onlookers on the battlefield stared with shock at how Psycho tortured Blackbeard, one of the men with the title yonko. At this time Sakazuki started to wake up.
"Marshall D. Teach… two years ago you turned in your old commander and killed your former captain. Years before that you killed your own crew mate over a devil fruit he deserved." Psycho said.
Blackbeard whined and cried as he sat with his back against the wall.
"Fleet admiral. I'm glad you are awake. I was going to use this technique on you first.. but since Teach has happily volunteered, I'll demonstrate on him." Psycho explained.
Sakazuki, still incredibly tired and hurt, fell face first into the ground and struggled to look up. Psycho walked closer to Blackbeard.
"I can't believe you really ran around boasting those stolen powers. As I said earlier… fate brought you back to me so that I could be the one to serve your punishment." Psycho said.
Blackbeard continued to breathe in and out heavily. Psycho walked over to him and grabbed his face.
"Don't die on me yet… you made so many people's lives a living hell in your lifetime… it's only right I put you through that same hell." Psycho said.
Blackbeard looked at Psycho with pure fear.
"Tsukuyomi." Psycho whispered.
Blackbeard suddenly felt his body drop into another dimension.
Blackbeard awoke in a black and white world on his knees, his hands locked behind his back. He looked over an empty plaza.
"Where… am I?" Blackbeard asked.
Footsteps caught his attention. Blackbeard looked back to see Psycho walking up the steps with a sword.
"Hey!? What're you!?" Blackbeard asked.
Psycho looked down at him.
"You've been sentenced to 3 days of non-stop torture. You will experience great pain and there isn't a thing you will be able to do about it." Psycho said, raising the sword.
Psycho stuck the sword into Blackbeard's back causing him to scream. Then the world reset and Blackbeard caught his breath.
"That… hurt… but huh? Where did Psycho go?" Blackbeard asked.
Now it sounded like more than one set of footsteps coming up the stairs. Sure enough, two Psycho's walked up carrying swords. They both raised them and inserted them into Blackbeard's body.
"AHHHHHHHH! DAMN IT! PLEASE STOP!" Blackbeard yelled.
The world reset again and this time there were hundreds of Blackbeards. Blackbeard could barely speak.
This time ten Psycho's each walked onto each scaffold. They all took out their swords and slammed them into Blackbeard's body causing unimaginable pain.
"PLEASE STOP! AHHHHH!" Blackbeard yelled.
One of the Psycho's finally spoke.
"I'll stop. After three days. You've gone through a mere second of torture." Psycho said.
Blackbeard's eyes widened and he screamed as loud as he could.
In reality, Blackbeard was kept alive by the shock of the Tsukuyomi. Psycho sat Blackbeard on his knees in front of him.
Psycho stared down at him. Crocodile forced Sakazuki to watch what Psycho was about to do. Psycho turned around and saw the marines that watched.
Psycho nodded and all of a sudden DEATH members started cutting down marine officers until the battlefield was nothing but crimson and white naval jackets.
"You… you're the devil…" Sakazuki mustered.
Psycho looked over at the fleet admiral.
"The navy has done worse. Like destroying a boat of innocent civilians perhaps?" Psycho asked.
Sakazuki's eyes widened.
"You… know about that!?" Sakazuki yelled.
Psycho looked back at Blackbeard.
"I was there... You took the woman I loved away from me and destroyed me and my daughter's relationship." Psycho said.
Sakazuki couldn't believe it.
"You have a kid!?"
Psycho nodded.
"That's not what's important right now… right now, Teach has to atone for his sins. Then you're next." Psycho said.
Psycho walked up to Blackbeard and put three fingers on his head and three on his chest and closed his eyes.
After a few moments the points Psycho touched began to glow a bright green. Kuro, Doflamingo, Kaku, and Lucci watched with smiles.
DEATH members watched with awe. Cyclone read his book. Psycho's eyes twitched and his face shot towards the sky with red lights coming out of his eyes and mouth.
Blackbeard's body did the same except with black.
A WAYS FROM MARINEFORD
On a Man O' War pirate ship a pirate captain with an open black shirt with a giant blue jacket strung over his shoulders saw the lights.
"Well I'll be damned. Feeee heee ha ha ha. So you're using that technique again?" Frank said, "MEN! TOWARDS THE LIGHTS!"
"Yes! Captain!" The crew said in unison.
A LITTLE FURTHER THAN A WAYS FROM MARINEFORD
Luffy and Hancock continued to travel in silence until the random lights showed up in the sky.
"Awesome! What is that!?" Luffy asked.
Hancock stared with fear and sweated profusely.
"That's… that's!" Hancock choked on her words.
MARINEFORD
Psycho and Blackbeard continued to look towards the sky with their respective lights shooting from their faces.
"What's going on!?" A random DEATH member asked.
"He's currently in progress." Cyclone answered, still looking at his book.
"In progress of what? Cyclone-san!"
"Taking Teach's powers." Cyclone answered with a smirk.
The ground began to rumble and the red lights out of Psycho's face started to take over the sky. As it took over the sky it also took over Blackbeard's body until it was completely covered in red.
"You all might want to close your eyes." Cyclone warned.
DEATH members hurried and closed their eyes as well as the generals. Just as they did, a giant red light shone over the battlefield.
Men still closed their eyes tightly until the light receded back into Psycho's body. Psycho fell over to one knee and coughed up a huge about of blood but held a lot of it in his hand.
Psycho slowly stood back up to his feet and looked at Blackbeard's body. Sakazuki stared with shock.
"What… what did you just do!?" Sakazuki asked.
Psycho began to growl softly. The growling grew louder and louder with each passing moment.
"Arrgghhhhh aaaaAAAAAAAAHAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Psycho yelled with intense power.
The entire Marineford island shook with Psycho's powerful and painful yell. Blood dripped from Psycho's head and mouth as he smiled.
Psycho slowly lifted his left hand up and pointed it straight forward.
Psycho's sharingan shined intensely as darkness covered his arm and floated off his body.
