Serious: The Greatest goal, one last obstacle before the new world In Alabasta ((ENd and Closed))

Upon hearing his new daughters explanation and apology, Johan nodded. What a well mannered girl she was. Quite the opposite of what he remembered Abigail to be like, actually..... Though some of the things she did were... worrying? Nah, she was just expessing herself, nothing wrong with that.
"Oh, it's quite all-"
Before Johan could finish the sentence, she had turned from him again and began interacting with Anubis.
"...right..."
He decided to look away this time, most likely wouldn't have liked what he would have seen anyway.
Finally, the sand citadel lowered and landed, or what one could call landing, and despite former warnings, Johan still stumbled a bit and almost fell over his cloak again. He made a mental note to have it cut shorter at this point. Once he regained his balance, his first instict was to check if the other two were all right, which seemed to be the case, in Anubis case, more than all right. Johans face brightened, and he couldn't help but smile, relieved to see Anubis moving about again. Yes, maybe the man wasn't right for Desiree, but he was a valued ally to him, even if his crew didn't understand it.
Suddenly, behind him, someone screamed. Johan spun around, his heart racing. He didn't like it when people screamed, it meant trouble. He had automatically reached for his cutlass, half expectig Desiree, for who else could it have been, to be under attack by someone, but found her quite alone and seemingly all right.... except for her broken heart, which he could clearly see, even though the reason for this sudden outburst was a mystery to him. She recovered quickly, fully the warrior he had taken her for whe he first set eyes on her. Well except the demonic part that wanted to sacrifice him to a dark overlord....
Johan decided to shrug this little outburst of hers off, for now at least, when he noticed a strager standing too close to their group for comfort, and adressing Anubis.
Johan listened to what he had to say, and mistrust automatically started rearing its ugly head inside him. Usually, he welcomed every- and anyone, had been known to always be ridiculously short of allies (as introducing anarchy to formerly working systems, even when it wasn't what he meant to do, didn't really leave many people with a good feeling), and even tried to recruit from his enemies from time to time (many of them were simply misguided and perfectly fine otherwise, they deserved a second chace just like everyone else.... except tyrants, who didn't), but something about this one just didn't... sit right with him.... maybe it was the way he wanted payment from them, how he didn't really seem to believe in the cause, or how he was so ready to risk his life for such lowly things as money....
Either way, he felt inclined to warn Anubis about this individual. He stepped up to the yonkou, which was hard because it meant leaven Desiree in her heartbreak, which he was sure was what she was experiencing still, just hiding it very well, that brave girl. He promised himself he'd get right back to her as he adressed Anubis in a lowered voice, glancing at the stranger.
"I don't think we can trust him, Anubis... Him showing up here seems a little too convenient to me.... Hire him if you feel we need him, or he might join the enemy, but... don't turn your back to him...."
With that, he stepped back again, but not without motioning towards the obvious skypean that he'd be keeping an eye on him, a warning look. So that was three people he had to keep an eye on now. Heaven forbid Jamil actually awoke from that medication and came looking for him.... Even Johan couldn't be everywhere at once.
Now that he had finished that business, as planned, he stepped back besides Desiree, glancing at her from the side. He might look a little more worried than he had planned to.
"Are you okay?"




On the ship.
Emil was surprised to hear the marine talking back, but only had a humorless smile to offer for his speech. This man was beyond talking to. Johan might still have tried, as he always did, but Emil wasn't half as naive as his captain was. He saw when someone was iredeemebly in the clutches of the government.
What was really important was that the man had mentioned something about attacking him.... yet Emil could not see any obvious weapons as of now.... Curious... a devilfruit user perhaps?
If asked, Emil wouldn't have been able to lie, he wasn't much of a fighter. He had been a stableboy at the court of his country, his captains country as well... Later he had joined the captain in the revolution, and had proven very good at taking care of the horses... But fighting? No. He knew that, in this revolution, he only had a supporting role.
Still, practice had made his hands stop shaking when pulling the trigger or using a blade, had weakened his nausea when the weapon connected with the soft flesh of the enemy. Whether the stableboy from back then would be proud of what he was now or not, he couldn't tell, but he wasn't one to waste thoughts on the past, especially when the present was getting everymore pressing. If the marine decided to attack, there would be a low chance of Emil being able to avoid getting hit. He had two good chances of turning this fight to his advantage: 1.Hold on until the crew woke up Jamil or wait for other backup, though he doubted Zuzen would come to his aid after being so very careful to avoid being dragged into a fight. Or 2: Hit hard and fast and hope to take the man out without having to really fight.
Option one would have to wait for at least five to ten more minutes, and the longer he drew this discussion out, the more likely it became that the marine would, at some point, be aggravated enough to steal the first attack. He couldn't have that. If the marine got the first attack, the chances of Emils survival in this were slim, and no one associated with Johan for as long as he had could hope for luck to turn the tides for them.
In one swift movement, he raised the rifle a bit, aimed at the marine, wanting to hit him somewhere in the torso, somewhere where it'd disable him enough to give Emil just that small bit of time he needed to reload and finish him easily.

Hibiki, followed by Rem and Ron started walking towards Nanohana. Frolt behind them was still unconscious, but not dead. Hibiki had orders to go to Nanohana and he would disobey. The way wasa bit tiring, but Hibiki tried to keep up with it as much as he could.

He took a sip from his own bottle of water, Rem and Ron did the same, following his commander. After walking for some time they got to Nanohana. People were fighting tehre as well, Anubis was causing a great havoc.

There were some weird people that he didnt know, but looked as world government agents, some people that would defend the capital, civilians. Hibiki didnt really know who to attack. He spoke to Zalton seriously.

"Zalton, Who are our enemies? Who are our friends, do we really know this?"

The comment directed at the captain had her twitch in irritation and sudden surprise, letting out a sudden cry of indignation as she dodged the other's weapon by bringing her leg up in an outstretched manner with the grace only one could obtain by training hard througout the years. "How do you know of my fighting pattern? this is the first time we've fought," she snapped with a deadly tone as she hid the pain in her voice.

In reality before she could escape the full blunt of the attack it had grazed her leg and was now taking effect on her body and powers. It didn't stop her though from attacking, bringing her foot down and away from the scythe before bringing her own weapon down to impale the woman's mid-section as she stil lay there on the ice.

Maria scramed as Delia thrusted her sword into her stomach "You got me." Maria popping her eyes up dropping her weapon unto the ice. The battle was over. Blood came from body unto the icy floor. Maria cough up blood from her mouth.

[[Morbius vs Todd]]
Morbius instinctively knew he couldnt block this attack. He gritted the teeth and tried using soru to escape, but somehow the attack nearly took his torso clean from his hip. As the dust settled Morbius was dripping blood heavily from his arm. He panted heavily, and knew his top half of his suit was in tatters now. He took off his suit. "Ok..... fine...... if its going to be like that... then so be it...." Morbius took out his mini flask and grinned at his brother. He then proceeded to gulp down the drink inside.

[[Anubis in front of Alurbana]]

Anubis slowly drew his sword from under Desirees tunic. He didnt really have the energy to wonder what he was doing or the morality of the situation. He had more important things to worry about. He coughed clutching his chest, there was blood now from his mouth "Now that is ominous.....hmm?" Anubis saw Chusei and his immediate reaction was one of ignorance. Anubis only stopped to glance for a while as to what the skypiean was saying . Clearly what he said was important. He offered to help that would be good at this time. Johan had advised him not to take his help. Anubis could see the army forming outside Alurbana. He turned and about 30 ft away from him he could see Derge Sr on his way. "Fine.. ill pay you, just make sure this advance goes as plan, if you cross me you die , if you surrender ill kill you, if you lose and die, ill consider it a honorable death, now hurry up!! Johan we dont have the time to debate.. that man is coming, Desiree NOW!!" Anubis unsheathed his majestic blade which emitted a beautiful noise as it was drawn. The beautiful blue highlights could have been seen on his blade and he had waited for this moment. Anubis lifted his hand "COME TO ME MY MEN!!! RIDE TO ALURBANA!!!!!!!!"

(Chusei Alurbana Desert Near Anubis)
Chusei bowed towards Anubis and smiled. "Thank you Yonkou Anubis you will take Alurbana and Ill make sure you wont regret this decision."

Staying 10 feet near Anubis Chusei announced to Anubis's Crew.
"Stay within 25 feet on me and no harm will befall upon you."
Going on full alert Chusei closed his eyes as he listened and sniffed for any oncoming threat's. A Flash of light appeared as Chusei Placed His Puke Green Katana in his mouth Drew his Crimson katana in his Right Hand and His Dark Blue Katana With His Left hand.

Prepared for Battle Chusei would risk his life to protect his new contract.

Desiree shivered as the sword was removed from her possession. She eyed the blade as the dark crimson blood from whence it was born, spidering though the length like veins, caught the light slightly and appeared to be pulsing. The dark blood lust of it and it's strong affinity to its master hung over her like a cloud, weighing her down for long as she possessed it. It grew worse with Anubis so close, it seemed to call out to him, draining more of her energy and quite recently it became even worse. Desiree was unaware that the swords maker was in the vicinity which doubled the detrimental effects the sword was having upon her as it struggled to leave her possession.

At last! If I never have to touch that accursed blade again, I can die happy.

Deft digits moved quickly to her back, carefully closing a round a flat object, pulling it free. A blood red stone in the center was depressed causing three serrated, razor-sharp, sickle-shaped blades to protrude from it, arcing in a counter clockwise direction. She places the center on her palm, allowing her to turn the gem a quarter turn to the right, causing a thick green liquid to smooth run down the jagged edges of each blade.

Her green eyes flicker as she stepped back into the shadow of Johan, not waiting to see where the envenomed bladed projectile may land, only to emerge seconds later from the shadow of a wall behind Dirge. The bladed boomerang, freshly coated with the delightful neurotoxin of a death adder serpent was launched, the counter weights and aerodynamic design, yielding maximum speed and precision in the weapon. Just as it leave her hand she slips back into the shadow and emerges in the shadow on an adjacent wall, long enough to leave an echoing, ominous laughter in her wake before disappearing again.

Her spear was now in it's shortened form, the shape, elongated had a diamond-shaped base, giving each edge a knife-like edge filled with toxin all the way to the tip. She slips into Dirges own shadow, rising up, nearly from under him, emerging over his right shoulder to leave a whisper.

"My turn..."

She step back into a sturdier stance as she gives her spear a strong forward thrust punctuated by a cruel upward arc, near the end with a trajectory aimed at the center of Dirge's back, the end of the arc stopping at the level of the back of his neck.

Todd smirks for a moment, seeing just how much destruction his attack has caused. He never had to use this move against anything other than the beasts he fought alongside Nemushi when they went to Rusukaina island for training. He was pleased to see that his attack, with only one arm, was still powerful enough to basically level down an entire block. Pirates that didn't left before, and stayed to watch the battle, were either slashed down to death, or buried under the debri of those 3 buildings that cut destroyed in that assault. Looking at his brother, his facial expression changes to that of the calm, serious and ready to kill man.
Todd: So, you are gonna drink now ? .. How foolish ..
He spins his axe around and places it at his back, then, with his left hand still inside the pocket, he slams the ground, using soru, moving straight ahead to Morbius, ready to hit his chest with a super-powered up Shigan.

Yuki flinshed as she had blackout and looked around... "Where am i ? what happaned..." she said and scratched her head... and didn't see anubis anywhere near....
"Anubis-sama... i'm coming..." She said and stood up and wobble alittle..

Delia's eyes narrowed and frowned as she twisted her sword inside of Maria before wrenching it out of the other's body as she noticed the ice already forming from the wound. "May your soul go to whatever god you revere," she said in a solemn tone with slight mock laced in her icy voice before turning around and walking back to where Barius was. She paused though and turned around, smirking slightly as she went back to pick up to where the discarded weapon was. She carefully took out some leather gloves and placed them on, gently taking hold of the handle before picknig it up and going back to where her crew mate was.

"That was faster than I had hoped for," he grunted when she was near earshot of his voice, tipping his hat towards his captain before helping her clean up. As he was straightening out her coat and hat he blinked in surprise as she tossed him the scythe, giving her an odd look before she just shook her head.

"You might have use for it Barius right now, and later on we can put it on display in my room...as a souvenir," she said with a smile that sent shivers down his back. She gave a signal and he nodded, placing the scythe on his back as they swiftly made their way into Nanohana.

[[Anubis in front of Alurbana]]
The theme in the background

Anubis walked and trudged foward. He could see the Alabasta army forming in the front lines. Anubis drew his hands foward. Derge at the back, the Alabasta army in the front, its like either way was the guillotine. Anubis sighed "Well... if its going to end... at least lets finish it with a BANG , SABLES!!!!!!!" HE sent a shockwave tornado towards the front lines of the Alabasta army. Sending most of them flying. The soldiers were in shock "HES COMING?!!!! BY HIMSELF!!!????" The soldiers stood in a line and fired at Anubis, but he twisted his palm "SAND WALL!!!!" The wall of sand swiftly rose from the ground and blocked the bullets from reaching him. He then pushed his palm foward "SPADA!!!!" HE sent a few sand blades to cut down the front line of the attack. Anubis was moving further towards the entrance of Alabasta. However from the front came the lumbering figure. IT was Mashidi. Mashidis appearance was greeted by cheers from the soldiers. Mashidi twirled his giant staff in his hand. "Do you see the destruction you have caused Anubis? Why must your childish wants bring down this country?!! You still havent matured a bit , still being selfish thinking only of yourself!!! There are innocent men under my command Anubis, and you would wish to kill them?" Anubis ceased his attack for a while and coughed before replying "This country will only truly understand change when i rule it Mashidi, you are too nice a person to run a country. As usual father sends his hound to clean up his messes......" Mashidi twirled his staff and swinged it at Anubis , Anubis used his sand wall which appeared on his left side to block the swing, but the sand wall was battered, it was clear that staff was strong enough to cause trouble. Not only that Anubis could see the glittering green in the staff, it was seastone. Mashidi's eyes glared "Dont you dare speak about father in that way...... you havent earned the right.... i dont care what the marines and the government call you, your still a brat who needs to be spanked!!!!" Anubis coughed even more, blood dripping from his mouth, his condition was getting worse "Why dont you try to spank me my dear brother?!!!!"

[[Morbius vs Todd]]
Morbius as soon as he drank , his face turned red. He loosened his tie as Todd was charging at him. Morbius ducked avoiding the shigan and kicking Todds shigan away, he spinned his feet, aiming kicks at Todd, aiming for torso and neck areas.

[[That moment you all have been waiting for]]
The arrival theme
From a distance a singular ship sailed towards Alabasta ON the top of this mast of this ship was a single man. His eyes gleaming as his white flowed in the wind. His yukata flowing along. His three swords latched to his hips and backed. The mans eyes were gleaming as he drew his breath as he finally yelled "MY MASTER ANUBIS , I HAVE RETURNED!!!!!!! I HAVE COME BACK MY LORD, TO SERVE YOU AS I HAVE ALWAYS DONE!!!! PLEASE MY MASTER GIVE ME THE ORDER, AND I SHALL BE YOUR SWORD ON THIS DAY!!!!!! MY SWORD THRISTS TO BE OF SERVICE TO YOU, MY ONE TRUE LORD!!!!!!!"

[[Satoshi Miroku "The Lightning Beast"]]
[[Bounty Unknown]]
[[Division 1 Commander and first mate of the Anubis Pirates]]

Satoshis shout could be echoed through the desert and over the land. His arrival brought first a expression of shock for the Anubis pirates on the shore.

Todd's surprized by his brother's ability to not only dodge, but even redirect his Shigan assault. That move was one of the strongest Shigan variations, almost a sure-kill if it lands, and fast too, yet Morbius managed to elude it.
Todd begins blocking his brother's kicks, by putting his right arm in frond to negate the impact, but something is not right. "Something about him .. I suddenly .. cannot read his movements at all .. !!" he thinks to himself. He actually starts having trouble fighting with only one arm, but doesnt back down, and attempts to counter attack with a Shigan aiming at Morbiu's neck. However he is not as sure that his attack will land as he was before.


((OOC: SATOSHIIIIIIIIII !!! BIG FAN DAMMIT ! lol))

Near Mashibi

Payne walked through the battlefield slowly. He kept his hands out of his pockets and looked up at the battle that had opened up between Mashibi and the main threat currently, Anubis. Payne hadn't went toe to toe with Anubis before. He never had to. Though this time would be different. Payne didn't want Anubis's attacks to harm the innocent people living in the town surrounding the battlefield. So his seriousness had sky rocketed since he got here. Payne knew Mashibi was a very powerful person. Just from being near him, he could feel his incredible power. Payne then turned his attention to the rest of Anubis's forces. He'd take Anubis down when he had the chance. But he wouldn't be able to get that chance with his crew around. Payne, along with his 50 men standing behind him, stood before the pirates.

"..Anubis Pirates...You are all under arrest for piracy and other crimes you have committed personally..Your to be captured alive..so please come quietly. Though I know that won't happen..so prepared to be apprehended..Hell's Path"

Used Soru to create three full circles around his Pirate opponents. Payne then stopped and turned towards the Pirates and closed his eyes.

"Hell's Prison.."

He then rose his arms up and created a huge dome roofless dome of fire. Trapping his opponents.

"Anything that passes through in attempt to escape will be incinerated instantly...So there is no were to run..give up now and save your precious lives.."

As soon as the shadow dweller disappeared, Derge Sr. was on the move once again. He moved in a zig zag patterned never staying in once spot for too long. He used the natural sand bars to his advantage by jumping off the side of them to increase his overall speed. Hi trajectory was getting him close to Anubis; slowly but surly in an indirect way he got closer.

His ears picked up on the chilling laugh of the bat shit insane woman. She had done this before, and it turned out, it was nothing more than a simple distraction. This meant one thing to the vice admiral. He needed to focus on his rear, or it would be kicked from behind. Spinning around Derge Sr. grabbed the razor sharp boomerang; thanks to his gauntlets he was able to grab it without being cut. He could see the venom dripping from the blade upon closer inspection, he knew it could come in useful; later.

A soft whisper sent a cool chill down Derge Senior's back, all the way down to his bottom. Damn the woman was creepy, but at least she couldn't help but giving herself away. Derge Sr. was more than thankful for that short coming, otherwise he would have nearly no way to know her location when she popped up behind him. Derge dove into the sand knowing full well the woman's spear was about to plunge into his back. Digging his hand into the sand he turned to his side throwing sand at Desiree's face. Using his superior speed Derge Sr. leaped up and towards Desiree using the boomerang to slash at her throat and chest area.

Using a sandbar behind the stalker he shot like a bullet towards Anubis. With Chusei now a gun for hire under Anubis, it was an easy prediction that he was try to protect the dying king of the sea. As a counter measure, Derge Sr. threw the boomerang in the direction Chusei would have to take in order to intercept the vice admiral in order to protect Anubis. Using soru and geppou, Derge Sr. moved through the air and inside Payne's done of fire until he was within range, of the mighty Anubis.

"Don't worry ANUBIS! Your brother wont spank you; I WILL!!!" yelled the man loudly sounding slightly insane himself. "Soru Tekkai Sai Dai Rin: Rokuogan Double Release"

A massive blast of energy was released from Derge Sr.'s left and right gauntlet in the form of a shockwave. The energy was formed and manipulated by the shockwave producing technique adding more power to the attack. His already quick movements and iron hard body increased the heaviness of the attack giving it more penetration power; this would allow it to power through nearly any possible defense. The left gauntlet contain the power of a Johnathan's hammer time attack; the right glove contain ten times the power of Sven's block attack. All of this was directed at Anubis from a fairly close range. If the attack hit; it would send Derge Sr. flying back nearly as damaged as the intended target. Thankfully the tekkai would help in lessening the damage, as well as the fact the rokuogan didn't backlash like the dials.

Nakamaru saw the Giant smashing the ship Darnel told Him to protect! ''Not on my watch you dont!'' Nakamaru fired a cannon into the giant and made it stronger with a wind blast. ''Wind Style Jump!'' Nakamaru jumped twoards the giant and landed on the giants shoulder and tried to stab him in the neck.

FERDINARD (DESERT, NEAR ALUBARNA)

As the flying citadel finally landed on the desert near Alubarna, Ferdinard grabbed his injured head with his right hand, only for him to find out that he was bleeding a lot because he was partially hit by the 4 wax dragons which Lucas created before... That guy. He really was a bigger deal than Galeria, the man Ferdinard fought in North Blue. However, he still knew that even if he was so strong, there was no way he would be stronger than Ferdinard. Ferdinard's knowledge over martial arts was one of the greatest in the marines, of course only from Ferdinard's point of view. He was an excellent martial artist and he was about to demonstrate that now. Seeing the Vice Admirals around him fighting the Anubis Pirates with all they got, Ferdinard decided to go with the strongest move he had to taken on Lucas and ultimately defeat him. "Let us end this. FAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Ferdinard said as he prepared to go with his most powerful techniques.

"Shockwave Soru!" he said as he started performing the standard Soru technique. However, as he rapidly kicked his feet on the ground to move with great speed, he also started using his Shockwave Rush technique to launch Shockwaves from his feet which would increase the force of his movement and would make him much faster, even faster than a Soru user. The man disappeared from his previous spot and he reappeared right behind Lucas with a smile on his face as always. Then, he said "Shockwave Gun!" as he used his weak shigan with his hand which also generated his powerful shockwave, making it stronger than the regular Shigan. The man was aiming at Lucas spine in order to pierce through it and move his hand out of it from the other side in order to cause a hole in the man's body. It did not aim for vital body parts and so it would not be lethal, but if it hit, the damage probably wouldn't allow Lucas to continue for the rest of the battle as he would be greatly damaged.

MAXULUS (DESERT, NEAR ALUBARNA)

As the battles were erupting between the Division Commanders and the marines, Maxulus saw Anubis after the flying citadel finally arrived. Apparently, the scientist and 4th Division Commander of the Anubis Pirates was there, as well and so he landed near Alubarna with the rest of the crew, surprising everyone who was around. Before he could do anything, he looked at the massive shockwave which Derge Sr. created and looked at it with awe, waiting to see how his captain would protect himself from it.

Then, he turned his head backwards. He looked at the man who was coming and he smiled. "I see..." he said, finally understanding what was going on, although he had already seen through that. "That is why you kept going, Anubis-sama... That is why you kept using much of your strength, even in your current condition. You knew that you would win this battle no matter what, with the help of your reinforcements... He is back. Hahaha... Interesting." Maxulus remarked as he waited for the answer of his captain.

ARABASTA SOLDIER (NEAR MASHIDI)

The soldier looked at Mashidi as he was prepared to take on Anubis. That guy... He seemed to be very strong and the soldier showed a look on his face that made him look as he was admiring Mashidi. That was natural. All the soldiers admired Mashidi, after all... He was strong and he was protecting his country. He was a very good guy. He was going to be the future king of Arabasta, the man who would rule the country in peace. "Way to go, Mashidi-sama!" the soldier who was following him all the time cheered for him, even if his legs were trembling in fear, seemingly because of the fact that the battle against the main division commanders of the Anubis Pirates had started... What was going to happen next?

SALTY (JOHAN'S SHIP)

As Emil was about to shoot him, Salty took a deep breath and he prepared himself in order to block himself and attempt to damage the revolutionary before he would arrest him. He would have to do so quickly, as the battles seemed to have ended at the shore and the citadel had left away. Salty should be there as well, in order to take the pictures of the pirates who were there and report to his higher ups. However, even if he had to, the report he was preparing for the revolutionaries was also note-worthy. By telling his higher ups that Anubis was connected to the revolutionaries more than they originally expected, he would definitely be the man to have uncovered some big news...

"Revolutionary... If we met under different circumstances, things could be different... We met at the wrong place, at the wrong time, at a wrong side... Too bad." Salty said, before he pressed a button at the left side of his camera and started shooting towards Emil's place with it, as if it was an automated machine gun. He was rapidly shooting his bullets with which he reloaded his camera-weapon a minute ago and he attempted to impale Emil in order to take him down... He wanted to take on the revolutionary quickly and arrest him before he would move towards Alubarna... Salty knew from the information he had that the Anubis Pirates were going towards there, as Mashidi was there as well. He would have to get there quickly so that he would take their pictures and assist his fellow marines in a battle, if possible. He was a Marine Captain, as well, after all.

(Ashley Near Mashidi)
Once Ashley Saw that Mashidi's Plans where to comfront the Anubis outright she followed him to the battle. Aiming Sharpfang Ashley used.

"Triple Bow String Style:Hopes Light,!"Fireing 1000 Super fast light arrows at extream speeds towards Anubis and his Pirates.

Shouting with excitment. "Down with Anubis Long Live Prince Mashidi!!!!!"

(Chusei Near Anubis)
Right before The 1,000 light steel arrows and the Boomerang came within 25 feet radius of Chusei. He Used.

"Red Reflect Arena:Creates a 25ft by 25ft six sided reflect box around Chusei Anbuis and anyone within 25ft range of chusie. The Arrows and the Boomerang bounced back towards the direction they came from. Imminently the Red Reflect Arena was destroied while Sending a barrage of arrows bouncing towards Ashley and those around her.

RIght As Derge Sr Unleashed his massivley powerful shockwave.
Chusei used "Black Reflect Wall!" A 25ft long and 25ft wide black reflect wall appeared infront of Derge Sr's fists. Reflecting the shockwave back at Derge sr At Point blank range attempting to blast him almost instantly with his own attack. As the black reflect wall reflects his attack the wall shatter's.

After Defending the attack's against Anubis with with devil fruit power's chusei focuses with his Dark blue katana.

"Single Sword Style:Ocean slash wave barrage!" Sending a barrage of Ocean water air cutter's towards the fire ceiling and the fire wall directly infront of the anubis pirates. Once some of the fire was put out Chusei moved closer to Anubis to insure his saftey. Breathing heavily from exerting so much energy at once. Chusei spoke with a smile on his face."Damnit I think I Might have bit off more then I can chew."

(OOC Black Reflect Wall countdown 6 left.)

Payne looked towards his comrade being attacked. Derge Sr looked tired. He wouldn't be able to take many more hits regardless. Instead of making him strain his body by fighting. Payne allowed Derge Sr to be temporarily damaged. If he stopped the attack, Derge Sr would fight along side with him. Thus, causing more physical damage to his already harmed body. Payne didn't know the extents to his wounds, but if he was showing it through his movements they must be pretty serious. Payne then placed his left arm on his right arm and began sending fire from his left arm to his right fist. While charging flames also with the knuckles of his right fist.

"..Blazing Cannon..."

"This scythe is giving me the creeps, why do I have to carry it? Better yet, why did you get this as a prize?" Barius muttered in irritation as he moved the weapon to the other side on his back, trying to making it comfortable since his back was aching a bit. He looked over to where his captain was walking alongside him and quickly pursed his lips together as he took a look at her annoyed look.

"All right Barius, why don't you just go back to the body and get me something else?" she asked in a calming manner laced with sarcasm. "Oh wait, the body is probably completely frozen by now," she deadpanned while looking around the city, face neutral as she noticed no one was outside.

She then startled as noises from far away resounded over to where they were, sighing deeply as she pinched her nose in exasperation. "Great, we're in a deserted city with no one around and far away from the action...I can keep my cool, but all this heat and idleness is starting to get to me," she snapped suddenly before taking a breath and calming herself.

"Either way, we need to find some camels so we can get to Alubarna in time to help the others," Barius added, earning a nod from the girl before picking up pace to start and look for a ride.

A boat landed on the coast of the island of Alabasta. The boat was small, and looked to be used as some kind of fishing rig. A man, obviously the driver of the boat, stoppe on the coast and went to the guest quarters in the boat. The boats owner was a bit stocky with short brown hair. He then knocked on the door and talked to a man inside.

"Hey buddy! Where here at Alabasta." The man shouted and waited for a response.

A few moments later, a man walked out. He was about 6'2 and had blonde hair. The man grinned and nodded to the man. He then picked up two things inside the bedroom; a handgun, which he put in a holster and a sniper rifle which he strapped around his back. Then for the final touch, he put on a black beanie to match his black jumpsuit. He then walked up to the man who owned the boat and handed him 2,000,000 belli and grinned.

"Thanks man, I really needed a lift!"

[Eli Mimoto]
[CP9 Agent]

Eli then immediately walked to the deck of the ship and jumped off, landing on his feet, amazingly enough. He then began walking across the desert. As he did so, he thought about the last few days. He had been on a separate mission, so he hadn't been deployed to the war on time. When he got back, he was told to get to Alabasta. He had then paid a fisherman to give him a lift. Eli walked for a few more hours until he came upon a giant area looking thing of fire. Eli nodded. That should be the place he thought to himself, then began to concentrate. The smile on his face was immediately wiped. In fact, all emotion on his face at all was wiped. He was now in 'the killing mode'. He then ran to the highest point he could find at amazing speed, finally finding one that peaked the fire wall, and began loading his sniper rifle.

Nanohana
Not turning around to look at Hibiki and the others he responds. “Because they stand in the way of securing Nanohana they both are enemies. Despite the fact the suited man fights the marine he must be put to death as well.”
Stepping forward he addresses the to brothers Matt and Todd. “I don’t know who you are suited man normally those who appose the marines have no quams with me. But today you had the unfortunates to meet me and my subordinates. We will not only be removing you from this city but from the world as well. All for Anubis.” Zalton gives off a menacing aura that surely gives off the feeling of death.

From his black den den mushi he over hears about Satoshi's arrival and now he needs to be done with this swiftly

-Sven-

Sven hated being ignored. It was insulting and unsightly, and when people ran away from him, it was even worse. He wasn't particularly mad about it, in any case, but it still irked him. He still needed to try to brutalize the corrupt Vice Admiral, but at this point he wasn't able to catch up with him. Instead, all he could do was follow the man, and hope that he would be able to catch up with him at some point. With luck, he wouldn't need to use his best techniques until they would actually be used to finish him off.

Sven noticed a shift in the arrangement of the maze and the entire sand structure, which suddenly shifted and loosened. Sven noticed his target heading in a specific direction; the man clearly had some agenda he was trying to fulfill. Sven set off after him, navigating the maze as necessary until he came across an area filled with people. Angry, temperamental, combatative people. And fire. Tons of fire. He stepped forward, ready to enter the fray himself. However, from the looks of it, he wouldn't be able to help the two powerful combatants take Derge Sr. out. Instead, he'd settle for another corrupt man; the second in line for the throne.

With a few strides forward, Sven sliced through the Vice Admiral's flames, passing into the ring unharmed. "You know what you get when you combine fire with sand?" He smashed the broad section of his blade against the ground as he approached Mashidi. "You get glass." He ran towards Mashidi, leaping into the air and spinning, bringing the blade around towards Mashidi in an arc. Shards of obsidian flew off the Zeroth Blade in an arc. "Corruption reeks, no matter what you try to cover it over with. The only thing that can remove it is the equalizer of death."

-Manus-

Pain was nothing new to Manus, but damn, this venom was extraordinary. He had exactly one shot, and if he failed, he wasn't sure what he would be able to do. Darnel rose slowly and hesitantly out of the sands, and Manus took quick advantage of Darnel's hesitance. His movement and reflexes dulled by Darnel's venom, Manus hoisted himself into the air with his arms. The venom now spreading further through his body, Manus positioned himself carefully and dropped down, bringing his unbitten leg crashing down on where Darnel's head was supposed to be.

-Unknown Individual-

Fighting raged from the oceans to the shores, all the way throughout the wastelands. To a sudden newcomer, however, none of this really mattered. Sides and factions warred for control of the island, and he couldn't care less. He was lost, pissed, angry, and dying for a good fight. Not a 'good fight' in the sense of an all out free-for-all, but a 'good fight' in the sense of someone who was actually capable of holding their own in a battle against him. The sandy regions of Alabasta weren't really the best for his fighting style, but he would make it work, somehow.

The only reason he chose to stop off here was because of the combatants. The Anubis Pirates carried some deadly swordsmen in their crew, and this man wanted to fight them. The giant snake he was riding on renewed its speed in excitement at the thought of a fight. Its metallic, jet black carapace gleamed in the sunlight, and its rider's copious clothing made it seem ridiculous for him to be making a beeline for the island. Of course, he did have a particular target: Satoshi.

Satoshi's swordsmanship was renowned, and if he had the chance, he would engage the Lightning Beast in combat. He might win, he might not, but the very idea of the challenge was exhilarating at the least. All he had to do was find the master swordsman, but how... he doubted a bystander would be willing to give away information about the man. Oh wait look at that, he just yelled and made a giant announcement of his arrival. The man on the snake grinned. "That helps." The snake and its rider made a bee line for the ship Satoshi was supposedly riding on. With luck, they'd reach it in the next few minutes.

-The Traitorous Shichibukai-

While everyone's attentions were drawn to the mast, the prow of the Lightning Beast's entry vessel was largely ignored. Standing upon it was a rather cheery individual, his robes flowing about him in the wind. He kept struggling to push them down in the wind, because a billowing tabard is something you do not want to deal with in the middle of a fight. He heard his fellow-passenger exclaim his devotion to his captain, and he chuckled. "My, Satoshi, we don't want to be the slightest bit too sneaky, do we?"

He shrugged, as he hopped lightly off the prow of the ship, onto a lily pad sitting in the middle of the river. He began hopping from lily pad to lily pad, out pacing the ship, but just barely. He called back, his voice carried by the wind, to Satoshi, saying, "I've got the plan handled, so you don't have to worry about the big guy. Just work on kicking your opponents' shit." As he went, Gael grinned and clapped his hands together, exclaiming, "Come forth, Canopy of the Gods!"

The ground trembled slightly, as many small green shoots appeared across the wasteland. The shoots grew an exponential amount, filling the desert land with oaks, birch, maples, pines, and redwoods of all sizes and states of growth. With a gesture of his hand, every tree began to shake, whipping out limbs and roots to ensnare and trap pirates and marines alike, saving them from the need to try to murder each other. The trees even seemed to gain lives of their own, actively changing patterns to grab hold of wrists and limbs to prevent people from continuing the fight.

"Chalice of Tlaloc!" Gael exclaimed, creating a large pitcher plant by the bank of the river. The large sack used primarily for holding rainwater dipped into the river, filling to the brim with water. Gael jumped onto it, manipulating its leaf 'lid' to seal the water within. Who knew when somewhat-salty water would come in handy? He then manipulated its stem to cause it to grow, using many other vines to support its heavily laden container. He directed the growth towards a large sand structure, expecting Anubis to be there, if anywhere.

Darnel could feel Manus's leg as it crashed into the sand toward his head. Before the seastone shoe hit his head, Darnel activated his neck turned himself into his full snake form effectively shrinking his body size avoiding the kick. Darnel shot up from the sand seeing that waiting for the commander to drop was no option. "It looks like this battle is nearly over. You should have surrendered. I would have let you go since my target is Anubis not his pawns. Now you wasted precious time in which you could have gone to a medic for the antidote. My venom will soon stop your entire body, but before it does. I think a good old but whipping is in ordered. Darnel pulled out an rumble ball and ate it. Darnel turned into his ultimate form....his hydra point. Darnel used his large body to quickly surround Manus. He was trapped. Darnel's long tail blocked any escape from him "This is divine justice. This what pirates get when they get too bold. Anubis should learn his limits. I mean did he really think he could take over alabasta?! He should have stayed in the seas where it was safe. Now his crewmates will die as he will die, and all his accomplishments during his reign of the seas wouldn't have never mattered." Darnel then brought his tail toward Manus in order to catch him with a chokehold.

Useing Soru Cuz of Having to Avoid The Light arrows that bounced back One of the Light steel arrow's stabbed her side. "Damnit..." As Blood trickled down her side.Ashley Notice the Man Known as Sven attacking Prince Mashidi. Immideatly she fired a Heavy steel arrow coated in Nitrogycern to intercept the Obsidian shards Followed by an even faster Light steel arrow coated in nitroglycern.

Ashley did this becuase she was certain she wouldnt be able to hit the shard however when the Light arrow hit the Heavy arrow it caused an explosion which blew away the shard's sending them flying in random direction's. stepping in Front of Mashidi Ashley pulled out hte light arrow in her side and glanced back At Mashidi. "Prince Mashidi Get out of here! I'll take care of him.

Suddenly Ashley's leg's started to wrapped up in root's entrangling her. Before Being Entrangled compeltely Ashley Used.

Unleashing an onslaught of 200 Spiral hollow arrows Aimed perfectly towards Sven. pulling back at super speed's three arrows and fireing them every 3 seconds basically fireing over the course of 4 minutes. Attempting to drill holes in his body. As soon as she fired the 200th arrowed she was compeley restrained by the Root's.

(Chusei Near Anubis)
As The Limb's and roots attempt to wrap around Everyone Chusei Switched out his Dark blue Katana For a Golden Yellow Katana As he used.
"Flash Dance!" Usesing Double Blinding Samuria and slashing horizantally with the mouth katana The user Repeated the technic as he dances around Anubis and His allies within 10 feet of them sending blinding flashes of light from his sheathes while slicing the Root's,tree's and Limb's with Poison,fire and lighting slashes. Clearing out all the plants within a 10 foot radious around Chusei,Anubis and the others near them. Leaving a 10ft by 10ft patch of sand surrounded by A forest of tree's and plant's. With the damaged Fire arena still burning.

Chusei could not stop the limbs from wrapping around member's of the crew not within 10 feet of him within that particular time frame. "Yonkou Anubis I Suggest you use your Sand to suck out the moister out of the Plant's Trying to restrain us leaving the plants to wrap your enemies. Then we can finish this!"

(OOC Double blinding samurai is the following Technic..... A Double sword drawing technique so powerful that it can split large obstacles in half.,Drawing Two sword and sheath quickly the flash dial in the sheathes unleashes a blind light so one would not beable to see the slash before it Resheathed)

[[Lucas vs Ferdinand]]

Lucas's dragons reformed and stood snarling. The dragons turned as soon as Ferdinand used soru. His speed was fast, but two of the wax dragons headed back to block Ferdinands shigan. However the shockwave burst through, and while Ferdinand failed to impale Lucas, the shockwave did hit Lucas, causing him to spurt out blood and drive back. Lucas didnt knockout and stood steady "Ive been training with Tanith onee chan for 2 years.... that sort of thing is nothing........" Lucas got to his one knee, coughing heavily. A close range shockwave was no good for him, at least his wax dragons, the two that remained were still up to save him. At this point, a sand wall formed around Lucas as the forest begin to grow around them.

[[Morbius vs Todd]]

Todd swifted his body down and shifted his legs at a faster rotating speed which was irregular, he aimed two kicks to Todds head and neck as he jumped back and slid across hiccuping, his face red. Todd was moving irregularly and looked to Todd "Well... whaddya know? Mr snippy is going to try to kill us Todd........ only I get to kill TODD!!!!!!!" He rushed at Zalton and backflipped sending a rankyaku as he flipped straight at Zalton.


[[Anubis near Alurbana]]
Anubis was shocked to hear Satoshis voice and then grinned. As Chuusei and the others dealt with the attacks against him. Anubis raised his hand and shouted into the sky "MY SERVANT SATOSHI, yOU HAVE BEEN A FAITHFUL FOLLOWER!!! HOWEVER I MUST YET ASK YOU TO STAIN YOUR BLADES WITH BLOOD, DEFEAT ALL IN YOUR PATH AND MAKE IT TO THIS PLACE!!!!!!!" Anubis looked to Mashidi who had just seen the forest grow around them. As the forest grew, the arrows ashley had fired hit trees. Mashidi looked to Satoshi, he seemed shocked to see the happiness on Anubis's face. "You....... are smiling........? You havent smiled like that since you were 13 years old........ it seems you have acquired some true friends over the past few years......." Anubis placed his hands upwards, he had dragged an injured Lucas to his side and had used the sand around him to cover some of the fire started after the forest appeared to the trees ((we assume the dome has been destroyed by the forest appearing)), Anubis also used sand blades which sliced any of the vines which tried to grab hold of him , chusei , Lucas or anyone who was immediately close to him in that area. He still didnt know what happened to Desiree. Anubis faced Payne and Mashidi, he knew Derge Sr was behind him "Chusei.. the plants are on our side we have nothing, we just need to move foward.... come on then Vice Admiral Payne... try and finish me....." Anubis held a mini sand tornado in his hand, showing the sand around him gathering at his feet and around him. Mashidi then remembered Sven, Mashidi lowered his spear and twirled before the plants could grab hold of him. He swinged hisstaff , sending trees flying with his strength. "Payne... i must deal with the sword man...... you hold Anubis back....." Mashidi swinged his staff blocking most of the arrows fired at Sven. There were still a few which got by "I will not turn away challenges... there is no rush to defeat Anubis yet......" In truth Mashidi only wanted to fight Anubis if necessary, he didnt want to fight his brother, mainly due to the memories of their childhood, it made him feel badly in his heart. Mashidi lifted his staff, he felt no such remorse against this man "Come and face me if you can talk big words...."
[[Satoshi near the shore]]
Satoshi looked at the forest which had just grew and jumped off the mass to the front of the shore. He withdrew his god of lightning and god of cloud swords. The pirates nearby greeted him with cheers and fear. Satoshi couldnt feel them around him, he was too focused, he didnt even reply to Gael when he spoke earlier. His eyes glaring , he swung his sword as it made a noise of chiming. He then got ready to run foward into the desert.

[[Den Den mushi call from Knight Jr to Hibiki]]
"Knight watched through his scope and then proceeded to call Hibiki "Hibiki san, leave that situation to Zalton san and the others, they can handle it, you need to run ahead and clear a path for Satoshi san.. just meet up with Anubis sama and cover his back, we need to completely overwhelm them right down the middle like we have been!!"
