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

Leon rolled his eyes and rested his arm on his saber's handle as it laid in its red case. He rubbed his after shave bearded and looked towards his opposing foe. He yawned and then sucked his teeth. Leon then pulled out his blade. Just from that, an intense whirlwind was created and gave off the impression of a windstorm. Although it quickly dismissed, it was very intense. Leon then stabbed his saber into the sand and looked up towards Ferdinard.

"..Don't bite off what is unchewable..If you know my name you know I'm on pars with Anubis him self..Don't get in my way or I will...like I said...Cut you down..This is your last warning.."

FERDINARD (Battle Site)

"Shockwave Fly!" Ferdinard said with a wide smile on his face, as he started moving the muscles of his feet rapidly, creating a barrage of compressed air balls which he called Shockwaves. While the "shockwaves" were created, Ferdinard was repelled upwards more and more and in little to no time, the man managed to fly to higher meters, dodging the incoming whirlwind, although he did so at the last second. The attack looked quite devastating... He should not be hit by it, at any cost.

"Of course I know who you are, Leon Lexus... The ex-yonko with a bounty of 180,000,000 Beri... Quite small for an ex-yonko! FAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Ferdinard said to Leon and laughed after he dodged the attack. Then, he raised his right hand and pointed towards him with his index finger. "This is going to be an interesting battle... Because, we both share strength that is equal to yonkos... I am Ferdinard Maimou, cousin and rival of the Yonko! FAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I guess you have heard about our family, have you not?" he completed, before he said "Shockwave!" as he started moving both hands forward and moved their palms, creating a barrage of compressed air balls that started moving towards Leon. However, even if the attack was a quite devastating one, there was still the big distance between it and Leon that Ferdinard had the feeling that it would either be dodged or blocked.

MAXULUS (Inside Arubarna - Near the palace)

The screams of the people could be heard as the guards were trying to stop Maxulus from infiltrating Arubarna while the main forces were out of the city, battling the Anubis Pirates. Many guards were shooting at him, but the former agent of the World Government was either blocking the bullets or dodging them, before shooting them down with his own weapon. However, as he was about to reach the palace of Arubarna, he was about to face with an enemy which he had heard of, once before...

When the man was a few meters away from the palace, while he did not pay attention, he was struck by a beam of light. Hopefully, the beam of light had not hit him at an important body part. He was lucky enough to keep moving while the attack was shot and so he was hit at his left hand instead. Before the man could understand that he was being attacked, as he was attacked with pure light, the fastest element of the world, he was caught off guard and did not dodge the attack. The attack was quite powerful... Upon getting shot with the beam, Maxulus realized that he would have to take part in the following battle and emerge victorious, if he wanted to end the war with the Anubis Pirates as victorious. Because of the beam, the movements of Maxulus were stopped and the man fell down on the ground and was reeled for a few meters, before getting up and looking at Gideon.

"Wow... That was a powerful attack..." the man said, as he damaged his injured left hand. "You are quite strong... And from the way you are dressing yourself, I believe that you are a high ranked marine... Are you not... Vice Admiral Gideon Newton?" Maxulus completed, as he asked his enemy for his identity. The battle between the two was inevitable and it would start soon...

Leon and Ferdinad

"...Please.."

Leon looked unworried. He listened to the man speak of his relations with Anubis. He rose his saber up and turned it to the side, having its blade face the opposite direction of them both. Leon then twisted his foot and got some grounding, thus, Leon rose his arm to the left and swung his right arm to the right. It thus created a forceful gust of wind. Thus, pushing back the on coming attack of the Marine threw at him. The sheer strength Leon possessed was enough to create a similar gale of wind that resembled that of a 175 mph wind. The attack pushed the shockwave back until it wasn't strong enough to harm Leon.

"Then I'll show you what a Pirate from the Golden Age can do..and why my name is still feared through out the GrandLine and New World.."

Leon let the gale of wind die and he swung his sword back down to the right side of his body. Sending off a slim condensed slash of air. It looked greenish, the slash flew towards Ferdinad at a very high speed of 130 mph. In attempt to slice right through him.

Near Gideon and Maxulus

Gideon fell to the ground and landed on his feet. Completely unaffected by the fall he made due to his body weight being that of a feather. He saw that his attack was successful. The attack hit once, meaning he had a hole through his body about the size of an Oreo creamer. Gideon walked closer towards Maxulus and tilted his head. He then began to kick and jump at the same time. Not in an attack like form, but in a dancing way. He swung his leg from behind his body, kicked it forward, then swung it back. While jumping to a beat.

"..So Dance Dance..Like its the best best..Day of your Life Life..Come on lets go...Cause Maxulus day, The Navy's got us fighting each other now...Each other now..YEAAAAAAAAAH YEAAAH YEAH...OOOH OOOOH OOOH..Lets go? Gideon Beam: Leg!!!"

Right as he threw his leg back one last time, he swung his leg forward and jumped, this time he stomped on the ground and kept his balance as he held his kicking leg straight. Thus, he fired a beam towards Maxulus in order to obliterate him on the spot. The attack traveling at the same speed as the first attack. But since they were much much closer, It would give Maxulus literally probably 1 second to dodge the attack.

"..Nah Nah Naah Nah..Nah Nah Naah Naah..Oi Oi Oi...Just fall down..."

FERDINARD (Battle site)

"Shockwave!" Ferdinard said with a smile on his face, as he started moving his hands forward, launcing compressed air balls towards the air slash that was approaching him with great speed. Apparently, the shockwaves that Ferdinard was creating were strong, but they were not as fast as the air slash. As a result, even if they collided with it and reduce its strength, Ferdinard was slashed at the chest in the end, taking some damage. However, thanks to the fact that he had attacked it many times, the attack's damage was lessened dramatically and so all it did was just open a medium sized wound, rather than completely cutting his body.

"FAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Ferdinard laughed as soon as he felt his body getting slashed by the air blade attack. "As expected from an ex-yonko! FAHAHAHAHAHAHA!". Then, without wasting any time, Ferdinard jumped from his position and his head was pointing towards Leon's direction. While still keeping that smile on his face, Ferdinard's legs used their signature shockwaves to increase his speed as he was falling and he moved both hands backwards as well to use shockwaves, increasing his speed much more as he was repelled. Those two things he did, combined with the fact that he was actually letting himself fall increased his speed to maximum levels, even great for people who were speed masters. The speed was greater of that of the previous air slash which Leon launched. Ferdinard's plan was simple. He would go with a simple Shigan attack over Leon, if he managed to reach him to bring the battle to close combat.

MAXULUS (Arubarna - Near the Palace)

"Damn it... That guy seems like he is going to go all-out at once..." Maxulus thought as he looked at Gideon, who did not answer and instead started speaking a few strange things related to dancing. That guy... He was one of the real deals and Maxulus could understand that. Most of the marines in the Navy were all some crazy dudes, but their strength and their ability was that of the highest caliber. And it was very easy for Maxulus to understand that Gideon was one of them...

"Umbrella Expand!" Maxulus said with a serious look on his face, as his body started expanding. His body parts opened like an umbrella's and the man revealed his Devil Fruit ability to the Vice Admiral, the ability of the Kasa Kasa no Mi. Hopefully, thanks to the fact that Maxulus had mastered his ability to the point that he could open his body parts and close them in a single second, he opened his body parts to turn into his giant form and the beam passed right through the gap between his legs. Then, without wasting any time, Maxulus moved his big arm forward and pointed towards Gideon. The giant arm was detached from his body swiftly and was launched towards Gideon like a missile. Maxulus said "Super Umbrella Missile!" as the attack was launched with great speed towards Gideon. The division commander of the Anubis Pirates was attempting to throw a very strong punch to the Vice Admiral with his detachable arm.

Leon watched as his Ferdinad jetted towards him at a high velocity. Leon then picked out he was using some sort of technique. It must be some sort of shockwave. Leon then narrowed his eyes and turned his saber in a reverse motion. He then dashed towards Ferdinad, at an equally kick speed. Thus, he stepped to the side and attempted to slash him on his abs. His speed was great, but not nearly fast enough to catch Leon off guard.

"..Your out of your league Marine..100 years to early before you could think of beating me in a game of speed.."

Near Gideon and Maxulus

Gideon put his leg down. The Beam then passed through the mans legs due to him dodging. Luckily it hit a building not far from them both. The explosion let off a enormous shockwave and force that could be felt by anything with in 1 mile of the building. Since Gideon and Maxulus were only a minor 15 feet away from the building, the attack would be devastating to any surrounding people. Except Gideon that is. Gideon watched as the pirate showed off his devil fruit.

"..Baby..Baby...Baby..OOOOOOOH WOAH WOAH..."

He did a dance move tripe spin to the right, evading the projectile like weapon that was shot towards him. He then pointed his fist at Maxulus and began firing off huge balls of light out his hands. They would explode like his following attack, but the explosions would do the damage of grenades, not of miniature nukes. He fired off 2 in the same spot, one following closing after the first one. Then he fired off two more. Six seconds after the first two shots in the same fashion.

"..Bang Bang....Bang Bang....LIGHT FIGHT!"

FERDINARD (Battle Site - Outside Arubarna)

"FAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Ferdinard laughed out loud (loled), as he looked at Leon who started rushing towards him with great speed. As he noticed that the man was about to go with an attack, Ferdinard started putting his plan in usage. Apparently, as he had already dragged the battle into close combat, the marine moved his hand on his waist to grab the equipment which hoped to grant him the win in the battle. Ferdinard swiftly grabbed his sea-stone handcuffs and he attempted to smash the sea-stone on Leon's saber before it hit him. As Sea-stone was the strongest material in the world, it would smash a weapon that was made of steel, like Leon's sword. Ferdinard hoped that his plan worked.

MAXULUS (Inside Arubarna - Near the palace)

"Umbrellaman: Absorb Mode!" Maxulus said as he felt the shockwave that had just started hitting him. In a single second, the umbrella he had been carrying was clone twice, making a total of three umbrellas. Then, all of the umbrellas merged with his body... And as the umbrellas were in the Impact Dial Mode, that gave Maxulus the powers of an impact dial to a great extent. As a result, the majority of the damage from the incoming shockwave was absorbed and Maxulus' strength was increased.

Seconds afterwards, Gideon was about to go with the light grenades, Maxulus prepared to strike back. Hopefully, the man had not done anything to his arm that was right next to him and so he could get another chance to strike him. As a result, with the aid of his devil fruit that granted him ultimate control over umbrellas and as a result at his body parts which had been turned into umbrellas after eating the fruit, Maxulus raised his arm and attempted to strike Gideon. As he tried that, the man would use the energy he absorbed from the shockwave before to increase his speed and dodge the attack by running around, turning into his normal form again and other things like these.

As Leon tried to use the mans own force against him. He saw his opponent began to pull something from his side. Imminently, Leon swung his right leg up and kicked him in the balls. A completely unpredictable attack from some one of Leon's caliber. The attack would unlikely be blocked. Leon slammed his saber back down into his case and pulled his case up against his chest. Just encase the Marine was pulling out some sort of weapon. He could still block it.

"NUT SHOT!"

Near Gideon and Maxulus

Gideon watched as the Pirate with out trouble evaded his attack. He then waited for the Pirate to get close enough to him until.

"LIGHT JUMP, THE VICE ADMIRAL GONNA.."

Gideon jumped 10 feet over Maxulus's head. He then floated above head and stood on one foot in mid air. As if he were literally standing on one foot on the ground. He then fired off a Gideon Beam: Leg from the leg he as standing on. He was directly above Maxulus. The attack was very fast and highly unpredictable.

FERDINARD (Battle Site - Outside Arubarna)

"FAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Ferdinard laughed as he was kicked in the balls and his dash was stopped. The man was sent several meters away and his body was about to slam onto the ground and hit the spikes which were created by Gael Iura around the area in order to make it impossible for people to fight on land. Hopefully, the spot at which Leon and Ferdinard were at was not filled with those, but Ferdinard was about to fall on them... As soon as he saw the spikes, though, Ferdinard swiftly moved his hands and launched a few shockwaves that sent him high on the air and he regained his balance instantly, before it was too late. "You are strong, but I did not expect from a former yonko to rely on such cheap tricks... I guess that is why you are not treated by anybody as one now and that your bounty has fallen to this levels! FAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" he commented while grabbing his damaged balls with his left hand and he moved his right hand forward, launching another barrage of his signature "Shockwave" attacks. The battle between the two men was epic.

MAXULUS (Inside Arubarna - Near the palace)

"Hmph!" Maxulus said with a serious look on his face, as he looked at Gideon who moved above him and dodged his second consecutive attack with his hand. Then, as the beam of light was launched at him, the man used his fruit ability once more. With the help of his Kasa Kasa no Mi, Maxulus seperated his left arm from his body and slightly moved his body, allowing the beam to hit through the gap of the arm and his own body. As the attack hit the ground, an explosion was created which did little damage to Maxulus, as he still was at his Absorb Mode and was building up more and more strength which increased his power more and more. "Give me more strength, Vice Admiral!" Maxulus said with a smile on his face, as he started flying towards Gideon and attempted to kick him at the chest, while unleashing some of the energy he absorbed thanks to the impact dial umbrella he fused with his body, to increase the damage of the kick, as well as its speed.

Nite vs Alfresco and Anubis Pirates 8th Division

Frolt saw a bunch of paper appear when Nite summoned it, this couldnt be any good. He inhaled a lot of air and blew out a strong air current to try and blow the papers away, but he only managed to blow away the ones in front of himself and partially the ones from the sides. The ones from the back still exploded and hurt him a lot, not enough to bring him down, tho. His back was full of wounds and it was dripping a thin stream of red blood.

The giant Frolt inhaled once more. Frolt then used the Dental Ragnarok, blowing out a tremendous air current at Nite and blowing out his own teeth the regrew after the attack. The teeth were like boulders that would crush Nite.

At the same time, Rem decided to use a combination of Candy Wrath and Sweet Tide. He released a tide of candy that covered the whole floor in front of him (taking the paper ants with it) and mantained it in a semi-solidified state. If Nite got near enough he would try to stick him by shooting the syrup at him.

While both of them did this, Ron holded his scythe in place and started spinning, cutting the wind at high speeds and producing a tornado of airblades that was building up around him. He was focusing power and wind to launch the powerful Scythe Tornado.

Hibiki

Hibiki was still passed out, being treated by Kin. In his mind he could see everything that happened, how his crewmates had appeared and then went off to help commander Alfresco fight the marine that had attempted to kill him. He felt nothiing at all and he saw everything in slow motion, but in black and white. Like if he could see through his eyelids.

His body was broken, he knew that. He had multiple fractures and mild blood loss. But Hibiki knew that he was going to be able to cure himself quite fast. There was a sensation that crossed his body and in the back of his mind, as if it had a back. A melody started to sound, it seemed to be the song of a mermaid. It seemed to go through all his body and refresh his soar joints and torso.

Nite rid the wave the Giant had given once again, blowing him and gaining speed in the process. Nite used the momentum given to him and combined it with his previous technique, covering the area of 8 feet around nite in paper, however this time he made sure to keep it around him. Nite then sharpened all of the papers towards the amount to cut through steel and made them rotate around him continuously. Nite then made his way with the increased speed, and now sharpness, towards the giants limbs. First Nite moved 4000 feet per second towards the area on the shoulder(with the papers surrounding Nite), trying to sever the limb, then almost instantly Nite moved around the back of the giant to sever his other arm, and moved around again to try and sever a leg from its spot. All of these attacks were made with Nites basic 4000 feet per second, followed by the increase in speed given by the enemies wind blowing.

At the same time Nite made some birds within the constantly moving papers, the birds left the moving orb of paper and headed towards the direction of the opponent (completely by surprise unless super-senses were at work), the tsubame birds exploded through the wind created by the man from behind in an attempt to strike him down, the second patch of birds from behind (around 5 of them) were all immediately turned sharp enough to cut through steel and proceeded to invade the area weakened by the explosion in the soon to be tornado. The man was holding still, so it made sense for Nite to at least attempt an attack on the man, especially since the birds were creating a sneak strike.

If Nite had successfully broken through the enemy giants limbs, his paper on the outer side would turn to mush, so Nite would have to immediately make some more around him. The mush created would then circle Nite as small mush balls dipped in blood, they were put outside of the constantly moving papers.

Another nuisance took care of Nites ants, his insurance on the opponents that were around the area. Nite flew upwards from the opponents yet again, moving his platform to the point of 4000 feet per second upwards into the skies, he was abusing his power in the skies, and he would surely attempt to strike down the opponents that were given to him. The pirates were heading deeper into the point of no return, to Nite they were still capable of repenting and stopping their pirate ways. It was still not too late.

"The only person I have not gone up against in the group, or tried to attack is the one that seems to have a devil fruit of candy, his powers can turn my paper to mush.. which would not farewell in this situation.. He will have to be dealt with soon."

Nite then looked at his jacket, it had some stains on it from the candy mans last move, his anger was starting to boil.. but he had to maintain it, as the opponents were not at fault.. but still, this was the jacket his parents gave to him.

Izlend awoke, his eyes were groggy. A thick layer of gunk glued his eyelids shut. Every time he attempted to open them, he only succeed in pulling on his eyelashes. Pulling his arms up to wiped it off, he found out he was chained. Quickly removing the gunk from his eyes he tried to scan his surroundings. However he was still a bit dazed, it took him a little bit to regain his senses. As they began to come back, so did the pain. It was rather intense. He noticed he was chained to the back wall of the prison he was in. It was an old western style with the next cell joined together with a wooden wall.

Izlend needed a plan. He needed to escape, somehow. Izlend wasn't sure, but he had to get out of the ship, before it could leave. It was obvious he was on a pirate ship, but which one? He had seen the Grim Death in the distance surrounded by an ocean of ice. It was rather cold aboard the ship, which was strange for the hot Alabasta climate. This only confirmed he was aboard the ship he had seen earlier.

Standing up Izlend examined the chain. It wasn't with in his range of strength to break. However, the wood it was bolted to was. Pulling on the chain, Izlend put his feet against the wall. He lifted himself up standing horizontally using all his weight and strength to pull the bolts out of the wood. All of his effort gained him a slight crack in the wood as the bolts pulled out slightly. Falling to the ground, the injured man was exhausted from all the energy he had put into the action.

Despite limited success, Izlend wasn't about to give up. With the little bit he was able to pull the bolts out, Izlend wrapped the chain around them. This way Izlend would be able to use the leverage to gain further ground. Placing his feet in the same position he lifted himself up again and began pulling on the chain. With a mighty heave, one bolt came out of the wall, causing Izlend to fall backwards onto his shoulder. He winced in pain when hit the floor with a thud. Sitting back up, he rubbed his shoulder and rotated it trying to make the pain leave. However the tactic wasn't all that effective. On the bright side, it was much easier to pull the remaining bolts out. Izlend simply reapplied the chain and pulled. The remaining bolts took much less time and effort.

Turning his attention to the joint wall, Izlend began punching it. He slammed his fists into it over and over again, until his fist began to bleed. It did very little, a few cracks at the most. Taking the chain, Izlend began slamming it into the wall. Slowly, but surely, it began to chip away. The metal plate on the chain cut into the wood. All of his actions were not only exhausting, it was also very loud. However it being such a large ship with many thing in it, the sound would be dampened. As larger and larger cracks formed, Izlend took a few steps back. Running forward, he charged the wall. Slamming his shoulder into the damaged wall, Izlend shot through into the next cell. Since no one was in it, the hard metal door was open and his way out was clear.

Falling face first into the floor of the next cell, Izlend's face began to pour blood from his nose. Wiping off his face, Izlend noticed the wound on his chest had also opened back up. Despite this, the young marine pulled himself back onto his feet. Slumped over, Izlend drug the chain through the door of the cell and began walking through the ship. He was much closer to finding his way out. Stopping for a moment, Izlend decided to pick the chain up; for dragging it made to much noise. Grabbing a spare sword that was lying around, Izlend climbed the stairs leading upwards. He searched each and every room looking for things of value to take from the pirates ship. Izlend figured fair turn around and he might be able to return something to the rightful owner. Kicking down a locked door, Izlend walked into a room. If it was locked, there must have been something of value tucked away in there.

((OOC: Any pirate free and interested for a short fight (or create an npc and fight) with my char ? He has no opponent for quite some time in this thread, I am gettin bored lol))

((OOC: Leave it to me, just notice him.))

The Cape of a very strong and dangerous Pirate blew in the sandy winds of the Desert of Alabasta. His feet pressed up against the yellow sand crushing it apart any chunks of sand that were stood in his way.

"...What's going on here.."

Zero walked towards the Marine (Who ever shadow's character is) and stared at him. Looking at him as he stood in his way.

"..Please Move.."

Todd throws away the bloodied up, not moving at all, Clark, against a nearby wall and slowly turns and looks at the newcomer. "Another one getting in my way .. and what if I don't move ?" he responds to Zero, glaring at him with a calm, yet murderous expression on his face. His target, or at least, one of his main targets and goals, is nearby, but Todd isn't the type of person to ignore an opponent, especially someone brave enough to stand on his way, after witnessing him massacring those Anubis pirates grunts. Brave, or maybe just another fool ?

Zero closed his eyes. Zero was a very strong man. His name was one that was known for its trail of destruction left in its path. Zero stretched his legs out. Cracking his knee joints and ankles. Zero then stepped forward towards Todd, walking towards him.

"..I am Zero..If you were wise you wouldn't even attempt to stand in my way..There is no way you can keep up with my speed..and I do not wish to fight...I just want to help people..That's all I ever have wanted..And all I will ever want...So Please step aside.."

"Zero ? .. Hmm, that name sounds familiar." Todd says, and thinks for a moment, not about what Zero said, but about how he knows that name. "If you are not a marine, I have no reason to even bother listenin to you .." he coldly adds, and moves his hand to grab his axe from his back.

-Sven Wiegaard-

His plan failed. Crap. Sven loosened the tensity of his leg somewhat, to allow his leg to move with Mashidi's blow, rather than oppose it. Much like a tree branch bending in the wind, Sven moved his leg to better lessen the damage he'd take from Mashidi's retaliation. His leg spun back and around, closer to his body. It skidded to a halt in the sand, Sven using it to push himself back away from Mashidi. As he did so, Sven noticed... more of realized, something peculiar. "Wait. Are you the younger brother, or the crown prince?" He facepalmed himself, now a safe distance from Mashidi, cursing, "Oh, don't tell me I screwed up!"

-Raulin Denys-

Raulin grunted as the twisting, swirling maelstrom of blades around him bore the brunt of Satoshi's attack. He was not able to block the entirety of the deadly barrage thrown at him, he was only able to lessen its impact. The swords around him were sent flying away, several breaking completely in half as they imbedded themselves in the dunes. Raulin himself did not get out of this attack unscathed, suffering several gashes on his arms, chest, and more minor cuts near his head. Raulin used his abilities to create enough iron to plug up his wounds and stop the blood from leaving his body, before preparing his retaliation.

Now certain that his normal fighting style was too weak and premature to wield against Satoshi, Raulin instead decided to take an alternate approach. Forgoing his blade by tossing it losely aside, Raulin glanced at his scarves and gained new inspiration. He started releasing large quantities of iron into the air around him, collecting the iron into folds around his neck. From those folds formed four long, rectangular sheets of metal, each at least a foot wide and many meters long. The metal sheets were also thick, while the edges were sharp and dangerous. Raulin now had more flexible fighting weapons, and he finished off the metal 'scarves' with thick, fingerlike 'fringes' on the end of the scarves.

Now he was ready to fight again. Bringing one of the four metallic scarves closer to his body, Raulin rushed forward with the other three scarves held sideways to better chop through the air and lessen wind resistance. When Raulin got close enough to attack Satoshi, he whipped the three free scarves at Satoshi, while wrapping the scarf around his front. While his back was now exposed, his front would not be harmed by most attacks. The scarf, thanks to the layering it was now performing, would be too thick and durable to break through or cut through.

-Gael Iura-

Wow. People were fast. Almost without Gael noticing, Panye and Derge Sr. had already begun their attack. For some reason, they mostly ignored the ex-Shichibukai. That was also pretty annoying, but it ended up being for the best. With their attentions focused on Anubis, Gael could attack and defend with little trouble. Without bothering with hand motions or signals, Gael quickly grew a large tree out of the ground to shield Anubis from attacks, while at the same time growing a plant flagella out of Anubis' platform to move him further away from his attackers. That could give him the range he might need to perform an attack.

Gael proceeded to combine his attack with his defense, growing the Impel Down grass so fast that the grass launched up at Derge Sr. and Panye like a multitude of blades. Gael was aware of their skill, so he decided to reinforce his attack and defense by angling the grass behind him and to his sides in a shield-like arrangement, before accelerating their growth to ridiculous levels. The way he set it up, anyone approaching from the front or sides would take a lot of damage from the grass blades. He personally also kept himself on the lookout, starting the miniscule growth of a tree under his feet.

He was probably overdoing it a bit, but he wanted to finish this as quickly as possible.

(Sorry that my post is so vague, Nikz, TBL, and Cob.)

Payne was stopped by a huge Tree being put between Him and Anubis. It was Gael clearly. Gael was a strong opponent. But Payne's devil fruit could eat his attacks literally so he didn't focus on him. Payne then watched as Gael went on the offensive side. Payne then spun around rapidly and threw his Scythe through the Tree, slicing clean through it in the direction of Anubis. The Scythe would act as a Boomerang and come back to Payne. Though in the mean time. Payne then began blowing intense flames out his mouth, burning the blades of grass below him. He couldn't jump out the way because more blades could literally shoot out of no were. Payne, safe for now. Waited for his Scythe to return, along with keeping his eye on Gael for any more sneak attacks.

Near Zero and Todd

Zero then used his incredible speed to sprint towards Todd in a speed so fast it looked like a Black and Blue blur. Zero then appeared in front of Todd with his right foot held close to his chest. He then delivered a straight forward kick towards Todds Axe. In attempt to break it or break his hand.

Todd responds with a downward swing of his axe, but he didn't had enough time to turn the edge straight towards his opponent, thus clashing with the broad side, the impact being so strong, the ground below breaks down and a shock-wave is ejected around them. Pushed by the sheer force, Todd is propelled backwards and smashes on a house about 30 feet away, with enough force to break through and crumble the building. After some moments, with the smoke beginning to settle down, Todd's figure is visible getting up. ".. I underestimated you .." he calmly responds, impervious to what has just happened. Then the smoke is literally sliced in half, as a large, long rankyaru is kicked rapidly towards where Zero is standing.

"...That you did...and the fact your still conscious is clear to me your not as weak as you look. You should really dedicate your life to help people.."

Zero walked slowly towards his opponent as he stood up from the recent clash. Zero was uneffected by the force. He stood in front of the man

"Or you can stay a deviant fiend...but choose that path and I'll break your face.."

Todd cracks his joints, looking towards the surprizingly strong newcomer, and then throws his axe away, it crashing on a house nearby and lodging on the wall. He then kicks off two smaller rankyarus before he cracks his fist "As if .. a fighter's joy is to face off against a worthy opponent, the tougher, the more excited he becomes .. bring it on."

((OCC: I'm pulling the hooded knights out. Those who are currently fighting may continue, but those who aren't please retreat))

Darnel withdrew his attack seeing that this battle was getting out of hand. His injuries was starting to affect his health. Darnel coughed up some blood "Damn I can't continue on like this." He reverted to his human form "It serves us no purpose to continue fighting Tarnith and Lucas. I suggest we postpone out battle until next time we meet. You need to support your captain and I need to gather my men. This truce will serve us both well. Nakama enough we are retreating." Darnel took out his den den mushi "Men those who aren't fighting meet me at Nanohana. We must confiscate ourselves a ship to get off this island." Darnel began to whisper "We are taking ourselves the Grim Death."

(OOC: I'm withdrawing the Meteor Heroes, just do as if they never came here because we don't have opponents and it's kind of useless anyways)

((OOC:WE NEED YOU GUYS! If you all came at once the Pirates wouldn't be able to push into the City..Please stay))

Zero then dashed towards his opponent. Leaving a huge gust of wind pushing from behind him. The force was of that of a small windstorm. Zero then reappeared about 3 feet in front of Todd. Zero then jumped into the air and did multiple aerial ball spins in the air. He then brought his leg down in attempt to slam Todd's head into the sandy ground.

[[Anubis and Gael vs Payne and Derge Sr]]

Anubis dodged the sctyhe by raising himself on sand as soon as cob and derges attacks were blocked by Gael. Anubis was now sweating and had a rather grim look on his face. He raised himself to Gaels level now above the battlefield "Thank you Gael, again you have saved my life, this is starting to become a common occurance with you, hahaha........Anubis then collected sand above the battlefield. IT was time to set up his final move, one that he hoped would finally put this battle away. He dropped the sand all over the battlefield, sprinkling some across so that everyone except him and Gael would be covered in it. Anubis then spoke on his den den mushi "Clyde, secure the Grim death and rendevouz with Best, we need to get our assets in line"

[[Satoshi vs Raulins]]
As Raulins attacked, Satoshi immediately curled himself. As soon as Raulin came in with the scarves, he clashed with the scarves with both his blades using it as a block. He saw that the scarves were protecting Raulins. Satoshi slowly began rubbing and clashing his blades at high speeds against the scarves , purposely causing spark and friction. He did it to make his sword reach a certain point. The tip of his god of lightning got extremely hot from the friction and immediately Satoshi slammed away the three scarves "This armor cannot be cut...... it can only be pierced by an intense heat right through!!! LIGHTNING BOLT!!!" Satoshi aimed the hot blade tip to stab into the armor , the blade was hot enough to create a precision clean cut through the scarves, not doing any major damage to the armor, but damaging any human tissue the armor guarded.

[[Mashidi vs Sven]]
Mashidi looked confused as the eager warrior backed away from him. Mashidi wondered if this was a ploy to get him to lower his guard or not. Before Mashidi could even reply, he felt sand flakes pattering onto his back and hair. He looked up and saw that sand was raining from the sky. Could it be? Was this Anubis's doing?
