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

Ashley
Ashley smiled at Darnel and spoke.
"We'll Protect the royal guards with our lives! Darnel Sama!"
Turning to Echo and Izlend Ashley spoke serious manner. "You guys ready to kick some Anubis ass?!"

Ashley was getting pumped up for battle even if she was just assigned to keep the guards safe. She would do some major ass protecting out there. Sharpfang too was getting excited in his bow form he hisses out with enthusiasm.
"Ssss Theres allss gonna diesss shehsehsehesheshessss!"

(OOC: Easily: Looking back. Also, if he sent two rankyakus in an instant, it couldnt have been one to the carotid artery in Conrad's neck and one two the back of Frolt... wouldnt make sense since you said that you spun around kicking twice...)

Frolt took the second attack directly to his spinal cord, the pain and the fact that it had hit in a sensible place made the gaint pass out, falling against the bridge of ice, cracking it a bit... but at least his head was out of the water.

Hibiki worked in Conrad. -"Great Zalton." -he said. As Conrad lifted his hand from the wound Hibiki sprinkled the dyctamus in the wound. Hibiki knew it was really painful, but it regenerated wounds, and it acted quite fast.

"Thre you go!" -Hibiki said smiling and putting everything away in his bag and sidepouch, then he jumped down from Conrad and standing besides Ron and Rem he told them:

"you guys move on... I'll stay in the bridge to cover Anubis-sama."

They both nodded and started running towards the shore. Hibiki rolled up his sleeves, prepared for anything. He took his Uproar Staff from his back.

[[Grim Death]]

Anubis turned around and there was a man behind him. Anubis grinned , he knew who this was, it was the famed shichibukai Youri. He turned and asked "so.... what is it your doing here on my ship tresspasser?"

[[Below on the icy battlefield]]
Tanith turned around to see Derge was stopped by Johnathan. About time too, they needed to move foward. But she saw a marine ship approaching and someone charging on the battlefield. "LUCAS COVER ME!!!!" The young Lucas who was nearby threw his hands foward, spikes made from Wax which were quite sharp was launched in the sky , landing in front of Darnel as Tanith moved to intercept "This would be our first ever meeting LEADER OF THE HOODED KNIGHTS!!!!" She twirled her giant hammer.

[[Shore]]

"THE HOODED KNIGHTS ARE HERE!!!" The soldiers shouted in glee and held their ground. Mashidi looked up and breathed a sigh of relief. "The marines do care.... somehow we got Vice admiral Gideon and Derge Sr, we can push them back right now...." Some of Mashidis commanders beneath him looked concerned "My prince, you cant stay here, your life is in dangers on the frontlines, retreat to Alubarna, we will continue here for a while." Mashidi then looked enraged "WHY? I WILL FIGHT TO DEFEND ALL OF YOU, I CANNOT ALLOW MY MEN TO FIGHT WHILE I DO NOTHING!!" Mashidi growled in anger.

Ashley
Jumping off the Ship onto the Shore Ashley clutched her bow Sharpfang tightly as She rushed over to Prince Mashidi.

"Quickly bowing to show her respects spoke solemly. "Prince Mashidi I am Ashley Of The Hooded Knight's I vow to Protect you with my life!"

Looking At Sharpfang Ashley smiled at Sharpfang. "Sharpy 2 String style now!" As Sharpfang turned into a two string bow.

Ashley then quickly scanned there surrounding's Dipping two of Sharpfangs arrow's into Paralyzing poison She notched them both onto Sharpfang Ready to fire at anyone foolish enough to move towards the Shoreline.

Izlend looked at Echo and shrugged, as the captain gave them their orders. He grabbed his gear and followed Ashley onto shore. Izlend wondered by Darnel would send him and the two most immature people on the crew to protect a royal. Anything they could say, could cause an international incident. Izlend's big mouth was one of his greatest weaknesses. Would it show it's self today?

"Hey mister royal guy, you should just leave. With a pampered life that you likely lived, you'll just be useless on the battle field!" Izlend yelled as he ran over to Ashley's side.

Mail starred in utter disbelief "IZLEND YOU FUCKING IDIOT!" he yelled before running off with Darnel. "So who do I kill first?" Mail asked Darnel.

MAXULUS (SHORE)

As the guards shot towards him, Maxulus swiftly flied around and dodged the bullets that were coming to him before he finally stepped on the shore and looked towards Mashidi and the soldiers that were staying with him. They were asking him to get back to Alubarna... If he left from the place, that would be something bad. The Anubis Pirates had to take his head as fast as possible, if they wanted to achieve their goals as fast as possible and Mashidi himself seemed to agree with that as he decided to stay at the shore. "Hm?" Maxulus said as he started walking towards the soldiers. "You are staying here? That is nice to hear!". Maxulus was prepared to start a battle with the strongest general in Arabasta and he would give his best in the fight.

UNKNOWN SOLDIER [Unknown until he is formally introduced] (SHORE)

Seeing Maxulus appear, the soldier, that had started being frightened before from the attacks of the Anubis Pirates, seemed to be more worried than before. Even if the words of his general encouraged him, he looked as if he was extremely frightened to take on all those beasts that threatened the kingdom of Arabasta. "S-Sir, that guy is dangerous!" he said to Mashidi. "He-He is Maxulus N. Crow, the 4th Division Commander of the Anubis Pirates with... with the bounty of 100,000,000 Beli! He has caused much trouble, especially in Shabondy Archipelago and in Enies Lobby... And according to rumors... He used to work for the Government, as well! Let's run!!!!". The soldier was such a coward. At least, he looked like that.

FERDINARD (HOODED KNIGHTS SHIP)

Meanwhile, on the ship of the Hooded Knights... As Darnel was announcing the plan of the marine crew, Ferdinard Maimou was standing behind him, with his back at the wall of a cabin and his arms crossed at the chest. He was listening to Darnel so that he would find out what his plan was going to be and find out what he would do, only to find out that he was going to work with his captain as a member of an offensive team. It seemed that Darnel had seen through his battle power and had decided to receive his assistance against Anubis. "Right, Mr. Warshack..." he said as soon as he listened to his plan, before laughing as usual. "FAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Leon stood next to Maxulus. He looked up at him and patted him on the shoulder and pointed up at Gideon.

"..Max..Watch out for Gideon..He's gunning for me mostly but If he starts to rampage with his powers our other crew members could be in danger..with that. I'll back you up.."

Leon then turned towards the guards that were standing near Maxulus. Leon then got off the battle ground to go check on Anbuis. He was the main person who was suppose to be guarding him since everyone else had already gone out to fight. Leon returned to the ship and headed to the room Anbuis was in.

"What the hell are you doing here..Youri.."

Leon stood close behind Youri, ready to strike at any given moment.

In the Air above shore.

Gideon floated in mid air and brushed his suit off. He held his head in pain. Leon sure was strong. Although the slash was stopped back his beams of light. The explosion is what did most of the damage. Gideon then caused his weight to drop to 300 pounds and fell to the ground. Just before he hit the ground, he put it back to its floating weight of 1 pound. He landed on the ground as he put his weight back it is original weight and looked around at the Anbuis pirates. Gideon rose up one leg and began to charge one of a his devastating attacks.

"..I can't worry about you as I aim for Leon's head..If I take him out...I just may be promoted to Admiral..Gideon Beam: Leg..."

Youri let leon get behind him and laughed.''Ahh, some action..I already thought I might not be able to just walk up to the famous desert king and state my business..even so it wouldn't kill my trying so..so how about we continue my plan and you stand there in case I do something wrong kay?''.Youri kept walking coming closer and closer to anubis, hoping to catch his attention and be able to actually tell him what he wants.

Derge Sr.'s mussels bulged increasing in both density and capacity. This would increase his speed and strength as well as make his movements easier. Any thing that resisted him, he would simply flow through. His power and speed output in this form would increase many times over. Derge Sr.'s fingers sharpened to a point as his legs and arms formed a deadly sharp edge. In this form Derge Sr. looked somewhat distorted; it also increased the cutting power of his rankyaku and shigan techniques. With this combination of technique, Derge Sr. can create a more powerful version of his rankyaku and shigan attacks.

Bursting though the ice Derge Sr. surfaced near the Grim Death. The situation above prompted him to move prematurely. It was something typical of this kind of marine; they were all brawn and no brain. They only added extra danger for their comrades. Their endless endeavor for power disgusted the vice admiral to no end. He wasn't about to put up with some over inflated rookie take his mark, little lone the entire Anubis roster down. This was going to be his day of glory not some random newcomer that could do no more than produce petty fireworks.

Spinning at speeds that outmatched that of many sour users, Derge Sr. formed a large whirlwind. Stopping himself suddenly, the whirlwind shot off in the direction of Gideon. The attack was powerful and moving at speeds above soru. The sharp winds collided with the beam of light causing a explosion of airblades, shockwaves, and light to rain down. This was certainly a tremendous display of power between the two Vice Admirals. The energy caused the ocean to to shift and the ice to crack under intense strain.

"Gideon you bastard, Anubis is my mark! Back down now, and I'll let you leave this battle field with you head intact!" Derge Sr. exclaimed coldly.

Manus kept himself close to Anubis, prepared to defend him from any and all attackers possible. He noticed a particularly dangerous face amongst the enemies of the Anubis Pirates: Darnel Warshack. The Rear Admiral was charging headlong towards the Grim Death, and did not look like he wanted to have a tea party. Manus launched himself off the deck of the ship, using Soar and Glide to launch himself towards Darnel extremely quickly. As he got near, Manus flipped in a somersault, bringing his seastone plated boot directly down on Darnel's head.

Gideon put his leg down and looked over at Derge Sr. Gideon then walked over towards Derge slowly and waved. He didn't feel like fighting Derge now, due to his currently made injures, he'd obviously lose. So instead he chose to work with him.

"..So...Anbuis is on that ship..no wonder why these guys are so tense..I've never fought Leon before but I've heard how strong he truly was. The story's are true. He's quiet the opponent..how about this. I'll take down the crew & Leon while you gun for Anbuis..Its a win win..I get to record my self killing his crew and you get the throphy by killing the Head..Lets work together and end this as fast as possible..shall we? but first.."

Gideon held up his arm and revealed a small snail watch dail. One he had personally made when he became a well known Vice Admiral. This Snail dail could send messages to every Marine Ship that wasn't in the New World or below Sea Level. It could also access a broadcast to Marine Ford.

"..Calling all Ship that are near the Island of Alabasta..We have come across the Yonkou Anbuis and are proceeding with apprehending the Pirate and his crew..all who are free please assist..that is all.."

On a Ship about 2 hours away from Alabasta.

A huge throne like chair faced a huge glass window. The room was dark. The only light was that of the sun that beamed through the window. barbeque smell was flowing through out the entire room. The Snail Dail on the desk on the other side of the chair spoke the message.[b]

????: "Anbuis huh?.....This could be a once in a life time opportunity..We've captured one powerful pirate already...this one could give me the promotion I'm gunning for. Well Spencer and Steven..are you two ready to be engulfed in the Flame of Battle?"

[b]Spencer sat at a smaller desk to the right of the room and wrote on some documents. He looked towards the man talking and nodded.

Spencer: "Yes Sir! I'm ready! On your word!"

Steven sat with his feet kicked up on his Desk to the left of the room and had his head thrown back.

Steven: "As long as I get to kill something I don't really care..Lets just go. I can feel my parts getting stiff.."

????:"Then let us go..SET COURSE FOR ALABASTA!"

He didn't even know Anubis was on the boat, yet he was blasting like a maniac. For what, an Ex-Yonkou? Leon was definitely a threat, but still not at the same level of Anubis or his top commanders. The fact he didn't know Anubis from his ship or flag infuriated the Vice Admiral. His face turned red and his veins bulged as adrenaline pumped through his body. With a deep sigh he grabbed his head and rubbed his temple. Slowly he began to calm down, until his trade mark grin returned.

"Fine, you can have them. My mission is to assassinate starting with the top priority target. I could careless if the mission the Hooded Knights or that you were sent on is successful or not. That's no my problem." Derge Sr. said calmly and calculatingly.

Gideon stroked his shaved chin and rubbed up the small chin hairs that he had left. He looked towards Anbuis's ship in one piece. He knew Leon would be on there. He began walking towards the ship with one intention. To take down a powerful pirate. Gideon then jumped into the air and began floating in mid air looking down at the ship.

"..Come out Come out Leon..I wouldn't want to take any more drastic movements.."

Leon then left Youri and Anbuis alone. He looked up at Gideon from the base. Since he knew he'd still be kicking after that counter attack. Leon glared at him for gunning at him so hard.


"What do you want you damn Light Bulb?"

"..I'm taking you in.."

Gideon and Leon's eyes met from such a far distance and at that. The true battle between those two had begun.

Darnel
As Darnel ran toward the grim death with the thought of stopping this war. This battle was not only threatening the stability of the kingdom but the stability of the world government. Gideon and Derge were no help at all. They were acting like idiots. A war was going on, and all they were arguing about who was going to kill anubis? Fools, they had arrest anubis so he could stand trial and await execution. Justice had to be served but those two were just looking for self interest. It was at times like these that Darnel wondered how far did the morals of the marines go. Anubis sent two warriors to fight him. Darnel had no time to be fighting these guys "Ferdinard attack Tanith. Mail intercept Lucas. Try to stall them for as long as you can. If I can get to anubis. We can end this war." Darnel turned into his hybrid form and moved throughout the spaces between the spikes using his flexible snake body. Once he made it past the spikes and hopefully if his crewmates held back the commanders Darnel would have a clear path toward the grim death. Then suddenly someone kicked him in the head. Darnel reverted back to his human form falling back onto his back "What the hell is that?!"

Conrad
Conrad got up and roared fully healed. He punched the ice ground cracking the surface of the bridge. The giant picked up a huge chunk of ice and threw it toward the vice admiral. The ice was the size of an iceburg heading toward Gideon. Conrad ran toward to stop the vice admiral.

With a chunk of ice that size, and Gideon standing so damn close, Derge Sr. had to take action. With a powerful swing of his bladed arm, the Vice Admiral sent a large airblade at the iceberg. The blade sliced the ice in half saving both himself and Gideon. Looking at the source of the attack, Derge Sr. was annoyed to see it was the giant he had cut before.

"Sigh, I thought I killed you already...Oh well, at least up here you can't get to me." Derge Sr. mumbled.

"Second and Third Pillars of Life; Reaction and Defense"

With Leon busy with Gideon, there was only one more standing near Anubis. It was the shichibukai, Youri Mountain. What could he be doing down there at a time like this? Derge released the point form; opting for for more defensive approach instead. He increased his reaction time by increasing the speed of the signals that his sense sent to and from the brain. Derge Sr. increased his defense by raising the density and resistance of nearly every layer of his body to that of a tekkai. It was much less cumbersome than an actual tekkai, allowing him to move quickly.

Coming out of of the air, Derge Sr. landed on the boat in the area Anubis and Youri were standing. The vice admiral crossed his arms and looked at the two with a disapproving look on his face. This was certainly a strange situation; for the three men all on opposite sides, to be standing so near so peacefully.

[[Grim Death]]

A sand blade was sticking out from the ground below Youri, pointing at his chin but not stabbing him yet. Anubis sighed "You people all ARE ON MY SHIP!!!!! Say your peace Shichibukai, unless your here to cause trouble" Anubis was about to do something very drastic, not alot of people were going to like what came next.

[[Mashidi on the shore]]

Mashidi growled and grit his teeth. "Fine, i shall head for Alubarna, i will remember this great deed you have done for me marines.... I will also take a convoy of soldiers who wish to follow me back to the castle. I will send troops to help you once i return my friends!!!!!" Mashidi headed for his steed.

There were marines and pirates and soldiers fighting on these grounds now. IT was like a never ending tsunami.

''hey hey hey heeey..You really need to act so violent?I just though;Why not make a stroll on the ship of a famous pirate?Of-course then you had to come along with your 'my ship policy'..Oh and about declaring that peace, mind if I think a while about that.Deciding to let you go puts me in a bad situation you know..I haven't done much since I got my position and I don't know how long I can keep those WG guys at bait.Anyhows do you mind to..just die for a bit?Just a little bit so I don't look completely useless.''.Youri simply stood there with a grin on his face talking like he had all the time in the world.

MAXULUS (SHORE)

"You are not going anywhere!" Maxulus said with a smile on his face as he moved his hand that was carrying his signature umbrella forward and he left it in a way that normally it should fall down. However, it was levitating, surprising all the soldiers that were watching at Maxulus preparing his attack, as Mashidi was about to leave. Instantly, the umbrella started getting cloned... Two clones of the umbrella were created. Afterwards, the 4th division commander of the Anubis Pirates moved his index finger and pointed towards the soldiers, making the Multibrellas point towards the soldiers as well. He said while smiling "Multibrella Sword Rampage!" and instantly the umbrellas, in their sword mode, started moving towards the Arabasta soldiers in an attempt to cut them down so that Mashidi would return back in order to take Maxulus on. The 4th Division Commander was making his movement.

Arabasta Soldier [He will be introduced later] (SHORE)

"S-Sir! That-That guy is attacking us! HEEEEEELP!" the soldier said as he looked towards the 4th Division Commander of the Anubis Pirates. He was prepared for anything. In order to defend himself, he raised his hand that was carrying a rifle and he was prepared to shoot towards Maxulus in an attempt to stop him.

FERDINARD (HOODED KNIGHTS SHIP)

Ferdinard was on the ship of the hooded knights and he was looking at his captain who was commanding him and Mail whom they should attack. It was about time for the marine captain to start attacking the enemy pirates. He laughed "Fahahahahahahaha!" as he jumped on the air and he moved his feet, releasing compressed air from it that repelled him more and more upwards. By constantly using that move, he was staying high on the air and he could stay for quite long. He said "FAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I guess I should attack Lucas "Babyface"! Well, well, well... Where are you Lucas? Are you playing Hide and Seek?" He asked loudly and he looked around in order to search for the pirate that the Rear Admiral asked him to attack.

Gideon saw the Giant attempt to attack him with a giant ice burg. But luckily Derge Sr destroyed it. Gideon turned towards the giant and frowned. He didn't feel like dealing with him, mainly since Leon was so close.

"Light Jump"

Gideon then jumped off towards the Giant at an incredibly high velocity. Gideon then extended his right leg and attempting to high the Giant in the adams apple. This attack would put the Giant down for sure.

Near Leon

As Leon was getting prepared to stop Gideon's attack, he noticed another Marine ship approaching. It was the ship of the hooded knights. This was bad, Leon then looked towards Gideon and knew he'd have to finish this as fast as possible.

[Derge Sr.]

Derge Sr. was somewhat re-leaved that the shichibukai wasn't planning on betraying them. It was the opposite, he was trying to earn his position for the time being. This was somewhat unexpected knowing the shichibukai sketchy track record. At least he was putting out now. However Derge Sr. also knew of the shichibukai's abilities and there was a good chance that Youri wasn't even where he appeared to be. Quick drawing his pistol, Derge Sr. shot at Anubis, he aimed for the Yonkou's chest.

[Izlend]

Blocking the sword umbrellas one after another the Namikaze tried to protect as many of the soldiers he could. Sparks flew off of his saber as he blocked Maxulus' attack on the soldier. Izlend knew he couldn't keep this up for long so he decided to go directly for the source. Running through the crowd of soldiers he blocked more and more blades until he reached a small clearing between the soldier and Maxulus. Pulling out his rifle the young marine shot at Maxulus from a fairly close range.

Nakamaru was on the crows nest ready to blast anyone away if they attack the ship. He allready did enough dammage to it with that horrible crash landing. ''So much marines gathered to stop Anubis... This is going to be a massacre...'' Nakamaru looked at the sandy beach of Alabasta and the frozen sea. Darnel was charging the Grim death head on! He was finaly ready for a real battle after all this years of training!

On The Opposite Side of Alabasta

Payne and his crew exited off his Marine Warship. Spencer walked with Payne on his right hand while Steven was toying with his weapons on his left. As 100 Marines walked close behind the three.

Payne:"Spencer, Steven..both of you start to search the Island for any sign's of reinforcements for the Pirate Threat and take them out..Start with the desert..they may be hiding there in thought that we won't look there. The object is the element of surprise. I want every Pirate you find to be arrested. Take 50 of our soldiers with you. The rest of us shall head to Alurbana and set up base in the core of the Island..this is going to be a victory for the Marines..The rampages through Impel Down..the Attacks on Shabody...The countless loss War's we've had..The Marines cannot suffer any more losses. Move out!"

As they hit shore. Spencer and Steven split one way with 50 marines with them. While Payne continued straight forward, Heading to Alurbana with his 50 Marines. They would not lose this fight, The small string of respect for the Marines depended on it.

Back At Nanohana

Leon shook off Gideon's last attack and looked around for him. He was no were to be found. He then saw a shining light high in the air, near the Giant that had be on his side. It was Gideon, the attack was already in motion. Leon sprinted towards Gideon as fast as possible and then kicked off into the air. Soaring high into the air, attempting to stop Gideon's attack. But he was to slow.

MAXULUS (SHORE)

"A marine? A young marine?" Maxulus said as he looked at his umbrellas getting blocked by the attacks of his enemy. As the marine was shooting towards him with his rifle, Maxulus used his fruit powers to summon his umbrella back at his hand and he shot towards the rifle, making the two bullets collide and explode. Then, Maxulus started speaking to the marine "That's too sad..." Maxulus completed "Being a former government officer, it saddens me to see Marines fighting me... To be honest, I used to massacre them after I was kicked out, but now I regret for my actions. If it wasn't for Anubis, I wouldn't stop doing that... So, I really come to wonder. Why are you following those people that might betray you some time and you don't follow Anubis? From the way you blocked the attacks, you seem to me as a potential soldier for the marines... You can have a nice future... However, if you stay with the marines, you might end up like me: Betrayed from the lies of that foolish World Government! Look at the world around you! They seem happy and free while in fact they are a bunch of misguided idiots who are pawns of the World Government. I have seen that system taking place before on others and I could not understand that it was used on me, as well. Mark my words... Young marine. So... What do you say... Will you accept my invitation, or not?". Maxulus was giving a chance to Izlend.

Arabasta Soldier [He will be introduced formally later] (SHORE)

Seeing Izlend blocking the attacks of Maximillion and prepared to fight him, the soldier smiled, probably because he was relieved. He realized that if the marine was going to take on the commander of the 4th Division of the Anubis Pirates, he would not have to block him from reaching Mashidi. It was the perfect chance to leave with Mashidi and protect himself from the upcoming massacre at the shore. "Wait for me, sir!" he said as he run behind the strongest warrior of Arabasta...
