Salchow and Hockera Vs. Karasu and Hotohori
Don Accino vs Dennis

The Accino family had soon finished making preparations for the feast. Salchow and Hockera both agreed to go to their father's quarters to update him. However due to them being so busy before, Hockera couldn't pass up the opportunity to poke fun at his brother.

"The Don really rustled your feathers didn't he Salchow? HOH KE KE KE KE!" Hockera said in amusement.

Salchow scowled, giving his brother in law a glare. "Shut up! There's something off about those women, Hockera! I can feel it!"

"HOH KE KE! Just relax Salchow. Once we get this over with you won't have to worry about seeing them again." Hockera replied, patting Salchow on the back in an attempt to reassure him.

Salchow scoffed. As they bent the corner, Salchow scowled as Hottie and Karen came into view. "Hey look, it's them." Hockera said, still amused. But their expressions would soon turn into surprise.

Gambit said:
Karasu: "Look who we have here."

Hotohori: "The ever-suspicious Salchow."

In the blink of an eye, the two women would wipe off their make up before throwing their bras at the two brothers, distracting their vision and putting them both in a state of surprise.

"WHAT THE-!!!"

The duo lunged forward, plunging their fingers into the chests of the two brothers. The impact gave the familiar sensation of being hit by a bullet. Salchow coughed up blood while Hockera grimaced as they both fell backwards from the force of the blow.

Attack DPR: 81-100: 3. Large Building Level

Salchow Durability: 21-40: 2. Small Building Level
DPR 1 higher than dura: quite effective

Hockera Durability: 41-60: 3. Large Building Level
DPR equal to dura: normal damage

Both lay still on the ground, giving the illusion of being knocked out .With his eyes closed, Salchow whispered to Hockera:

"I KNEW IT!"

Meanwhile, in Accino's quarters, the foul stench of the Rafflesia Flower began to take effect on the Don. The odor was one of the most horrible things he's ever encountered, causing his eyes to water as he held his nose and staggered backwards.

"GAH! WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!?"

Gambit said:
"I see.", he remarked, speaking in a cunning tone. "Your ability is to increase the temperature of your body that it allows you to channel it in the immediate environment. But I have planned for this. My plants are capable of withstanding heat and in fact, they will only neutralize the temperature in this room. That's basic science, Don."

"Curses, you shitty brat! I'll kill you for this!"

Losing control of the situation caused Accino's blood to boil and the temperature began to increase drastically. However it was just as the stranger said, the plants would neutralize the temperature rendering his ability useless, at least in the room. The plant's pungent odor had effected him enough that he failed to notice the man make his next move. Accino staggered backwards again and was suddenly launched into the air seconds away of heading into the jaws of a giant Venus Flytrap that seemingly manifested out of thin air. Panicked, Accino blew hot air through his nose to propel himself through the air and maneuvered himself just in the knick of time to avoid the jaws of carnivorous plant and it's tendrils of death. However even the Don knew that staying here would do him more harm than good, so he continued propelling himself towards the wall. He crashed through the walls of his room and landed sloppily outside. As he staggered and got to his feet, fresh air began filling his lungs but the scent still held it's effect on him to his annoyance.

Atsutto Odoroku Hana Jet (熱アツッと驚く鼻ジェット Atsutto Odoroku Hana Jetto?, literally meaning "Surprising Nose Hot Jet"): Using the steam that comes out from his nose due to his heat, Don Accino blows hard on his nose and propels himself at high speed. With this, Accino is able to move through the air and dodge his opponent's attacks.

" You did your homework. So it seems I was your target all along..."

"Don't think just because you've got fancy plants you can beat me. You've sobered me up. If it's a fight you want, it's a fight you'll get. I'm Don Accino and I'll kill you where you stand. No one messes with me or my family."

Salchow and Hockera Vs. Karasu and Hotohori

Karasu and Hotohori got engaged with the two Accinos. And as planned beforehand, the moment they saw an opportunity, they would attack. Immediately after locking the enemies on sight, they propelled themselves harnessing the principles of Rokushiki into their fingertips, digging the nails into a pillow.

The enemies would falter. And in that position, the two agents wouldn't waste any moment. As soon as they saw that the Shigans connected and Salchow and Hockera meeting the ground, they launched a follow up move.

Stomping their right feet on the floor, a compressed blast of air lunged forward, plowing the ceramic floor on the way to the two brothers.

"Rankyaku Sen..."

Don Accino vs Dennis

Dennis revealed their true motives. He was now facing the patriach of the Accinos. Launching a series of tricks following the discipline of Botany, Dennis mocked the Don. "Or you could die trying."

Having been affected by the foul odor of Reffleasia, the Don somewhat lost his equilibrium, prompting Dennis to follow up with a plant to toss him skyward. It was a success. Seeing the effect, Dennis once more grew a giant Venus Flytrap, in an attempt to restrain the foe. However, the latter was evaded.

The agent remained composed, walking casually toward the fleeing Don. "Coward fat ass."

Suddenly, from mid-range, the Doctor conjured from his elegant hair a single rose. The said red flower would swiftly take the form of a green cunning thorned whip.

"My plants are not only dangerous and poisonous. I can also turned them into a much more devastating weapon. This is a rose whip."

Dennis kicked the floor, vanishing like a fart in the wind. Then he would appear a meter right behind the Don. From there, he would swing his right hand that held the whip across the enemy which such force to slash his fat flesh.

"Demon Rose Whip"

Demon Rose Whip: Dennis turns the rose into a whip, making it incredibly hard that he can use it as a weapon. He uses the rose whip he conjured to land the opponent a deep slash/cut due to its razor-sharp thorns.

Salchow and Hockera Vs. Karasu and Hotohori

After taking shigans to their chests, Salchow and Hockera fell to their backs with a heavy thud. The two agents didn't waste a second. Swiftly, they stomped the floor in unison unleashing a compressed air projectile that flew in the direction of the downed brothers.

Gambit said:
"Rankyaku Sen..."

"Rankyaku Sen..."

Reacting to the words of the aggressors, Salchow and Hockera both opened their eyes before rolling closer to the walls of the corridor. They had narrowly escaped the techniques as they passed by. Salchow and Hockera grit their teeth as the witnessed the floor suffering damage from the power behind the attacks before traveling to the end of the corridor behind of them, destroying the wall completely.

Holy Crap!
They're strong!

"We need to regroup with the others, I can't fight without my darling Arbell." Salchow said before turning around and making a break for it.

Hockera nodded his head in agreement, before following suit. They both aimed to use jump through the hole caused by the attacks from earlier. Would they be successful or would their enemies foil their plan and cut off their escape route?

Don Accino vs Dennis

Dennis had been less than pleased at Accino evading his trap. Being called a coward had made the bounty hunter even angrier than before and the results would be felt as the tropical atmosphere of Lovely Land began to increase in heat. Dennis then proceeded to pull a single rose from the strands of his hair before it suddenly took to form of a thorned whip.

Gambit said:
"My plants are not only dangerous and poisonous. I can also turned them into a much more devastating weapon. This is a rose whip."

"I don't care what weapon you use runt, you'll die all the same."

Suddenly Dennis would kick the floor and vanished before Accino's line of sight.

Soru?

The Don blew hot steam out of his nose, propelling himself upwards figuring that his opponent would attack from behind, however the stench of Rafflesia Flower still held its effect on him. The whip would slash his right calf open, resulting in blood splashing everywhere.

Dennis DPR: 61-80: 2. Small Building Level + B: 2 = 101-119: 4. City Block Level

Accino Durability: 3. Large Building Level

"GAAAAAH! FUCCCCK!"

Now completely enraged, Accino was on the offensive. His body glowed bright red, an effect caused by heating up in a split second.

"Heat Capacity up! 3000 degrees!"

While suspended in the air, the Don creates balls of heat in his hands and throws them at Dennis with the intention of burning him to death.

"Atsuyaki Tamago"

Atsuyaki Tamago (厚焼き玉子, Atsuyaki Tamago?, literally meaning "Hot Roasted Egg"): Don Accino creates balls of heat from his hands and throws them at an opponent as long ranged projectiles.

Salchow and Hockera Vs. Karasu and Hotohori
Attack after attack the duo of agents did to the siblings. However, the second attack wasn't as successful as the first one, having been dodged by the two. "Hmpf!". Karasu and Hotohori interjected.

As the two rolled on the floor to evade the slashing tempest, Karasu immediately kicked the ground multiple times and vanished into the air, advancing to the hole their combination had created previously. Blocking the way of the enemies, he would summon four tiny bat-like pieces of equipment out of his pockets, enlarging as they were exposed in the air. The four bats would be thrown by him as they go, exploding in contact.

"Bat Bombs"

Karasu carries x42 D-rank Bombs
41-60: 1. Wall/Tree Level x 4

As the bombs were thrown, Hotohori jumped in the air and cast his sword against the ceiling. As he poked the tip of his blade, a barrage of Tempest Kicks was unleashed in the direction of the enemy's back. Now, Salchow and his companion would have to deal with two attacks at once.

Don Accino vs Dennis
Heat vs Plants. What an astounding sight to see. Dennis parried fairly with the former. But the doctor had just been started. He used Soru to get past the foe and would find himself behind him. Summoning one of his arsenals, Rose Whip, Dennis launched a strong swing that cut Don's calf. The cunning agent smirked. "Too shallow. Let me press it even harder."

As he said that, the patriarch of the Accino Family growled like a bear in the forest. Overheating his fat body. "Interesting."

"A human body when exposed to 3000 Degrees would most likely burn himself to ashes. But that won't be the case against me."

"Tough luck fat fuck ass.", mockery continued.

Suddenly, the agent threw multiple seeds across the room. The Don didn't have any idea what he was up to. The first wave of seeds thrown at the incoming barrage of egg-like heat projectile would explode upon contact. Then the two attacks met, and at the heart of the impact, a giant figure skull would emerge. The room was covered with thick smoke and Dennis used this opportunity to launch a follow strike.

"Green Star Skull Exploding Grass"

The seeds previously thrown at the ground would finally sprout, taking the form of multiple bamboos, springing forth skyward with malicious intent to pierce through the body of the enemy.

Salchow and Hockera Vs. Karasu and Hotohori

The duo managed to escape the second round of attacks from their aggressors and now head towards the opening caused by the agent's Rangyakus in an attempt to regroup with the others. But unfortunately for them, their opponents had no intentions of letting them escape so easily. In the blink of an eye Karasu appeared before them, blocking off their only route of escape.

"Dammit, these guys just won't let up!" Salchow exclaimed in frustration.

Hockera smirked and quickly took hold of his hockey stick. "Then we have no choice! We have to fight our way through! Hoh ke ke ke!"

Karasu would conjure four bat shaped bombs from his pockets before throwing them at the two Accinos. However, Hockera had no intentions of fully allowing him to control the battle this time. The hockey player would conjure four hockey pucks of his own from his pockets that fell to the ground. The four pucks would be be struck by his weapon and sent them flying towards the bombs. These were specially made pucks that when hit towards an opponent, instantly freezes them in ice upon impact.

Hockera carries x41 Cryo Pucks
Deals no damage & has small AOE.

Meanwhile, Salchow looked around for the other one who had already jumped into the air behind of them and unleashed a barrage of kicks, giving birth to multiple small Rangyakus. The blonde man decided to counter attack as well. He jumped into the air and met the oncoming attack with a powerful kick.

"Jump and Kick!"

Don Accino vs Dennis

Don Accino and Dennis engaged in a heated battle that was a rare sight to see. A clash between plant and heat. Dennis had previously dealt serious damage to the Don's calf. Enraged, Accino counterattacked with a wave of heat balls that he threw with intentions of incinerating his target. However, to the heat man's surprise, Dennis was prepared. The agent flung some seeds across the floor as well as some directed at his attack, the clash resulted in a giant explosion in the shape of a skull.

Accino: 41-60: 1. Wall/Tree Level +C: 1= 2. Small Building Level
Dennis: 41-60: 1. Wall/Tree Level + 2 = 81-100: 3. Large Building Level

Winner: Dennis DPS
Remaining DPS: 1-20: 1. Below Street Level

The explosion had still managed to reach the bounty hunter, sending him flying backwards just a bit. The damage wasn't that effective, however it provided enough of a distraction for what came next. The seeds that were previously thrown on the floor came to life...

A forest of bamboos seemingly sprouted out of nowhere, surrounding Accino completely. Accino guarded his face as the bamboo forest pierced his body like javelins, leaving open wounds across his body as he flew higher in a failed attempt to avoid them.

Dennis DPR: 41-60: 1. Wall/Tree Level + 2 = 81-100: 3. Large Building Level

While the damage wasn't severe, exhaustion had started to creep up on the old man as his patience ran even thinner.

"Grrrrrr, ENOUGH OF THIS AND YOUR MORONIC PLANTS! LETS SEE YOU HANDLE THE FULL HEAT OF MY WRATH!"

Accino propelled himself overhead Dennis, losing himself in his fury as his body glowed at max heat capacity.

"HEAT CAPACITY UP! 10,000 DEGREES!"

Accino then performed a belly flop, aiming to crush the agent with his body along with heat to increase the damage.

Steam Iron (スチームアイロン Suchīmu Aion?): Don Accino belly flops onto an opponent, with his belly producing large amounts of heat to increase the damage. This was first seen being used against Luffy.

Salchow and Hockera Vs. Karasu and Hotohori
Karasu conjured 4 exploding bats and projected them at Hockera, hoping it would turn the muscle guy into minced meats. He failed for the latter would also manifest equal numbers of Cryo Pucks. These techs would eventually freeze his bombs upon contact, rendering them useless.

"What?!"

Triggered, Karasu would conjure 4 more of them but this time, he would throw them in such a way that it would change their trajectory upon release. One of them would curve as long as it closed within 2 meters from Hockera, the other would be thrown in a linear fashion, the third would follow suit the second would in turn collide with one another so that it would immediately explode. For the last one, he would shoot the ceiling above the two gentlemen, hoping they would be crushed by the rubbles.

"Haaaah!"

Hotohori unleashed tempest kicks but just like his mate, these attacks would clash with Salchow's barrage of kicks. Hotohori, a well-mannered man would remark on his foe after the dust would settle off the clash. "Well done, Salchow!"

"As expected from a member of the Accino family. However, we have just begun."

The agent, still locked in the ceiling would push his feet off it, making the bricks fall in his wake. Dashing Salchow, Hotohori would zigzag on his way to the enemy. As he did, he would flatten out mid-range, only to take a curve the moment he closed in order to land a devastating thrust using his sword, aiming at the body of the victim.

"Dawn Serenade: Right-Handed Strike!"

This attack was meant to impale the poor foe but as wise as he had always been, the moment his enemy evade or stepped back, the real attack would quickly manifest - a blast of compressed air, capable of rupturing the flesh as if you're hit by a bullet.

-Aubade Coup Droit (夜明歌 (オーバード) ・クー・ドロア Ōbādo Kū Doroa?, literally meaning "Dawn Serenade: Right-Handed Strike"): A thrusting technique, the sword creates a highly compressed blast of air as if fired from a gun.(31 Mastery, 21 Strength) Destructive Potency Rank: C

Don Accino vs Dennis
The doctor fired multiple sets of seeds that manifested a variety of killer plants. All of them were able to fulfill the will of their wielder, wounding the Don for the second time around.

"They are living organisms. Don't underestimate the power of nature!"

"Show me!"

He said to the agitated temper of the Don as he turned himself into a living sun. "?!!"

10,000 Degrees?! Impossible! He thought.

Accino propelled himself overhead Kurama, trailing him was refraction caused by his overheated body. Like the horizon on the desert, it waved and danced as he aimed for the doctor. And like a comet on a cool night, he dove to the earth in a ferocious manner, leaving Dennis in awe.

*IMPACT!*

The ground erupted like a bomb was thrown at it. Debris flew into the air, mixing with the bamboos and other herbs previously mustered. The room was a total mess. Dust covered the point of impact, but Dennis was nowhere there.

Once the obscurity settled down, Accino would find his opponent several meters away from the dirt it caused. His clothing was covered in blood. He took a hit. A decent one. Dennis was never wounded in an operation before and hit his pride more than his flesh.

"Screw you!"

Dennis would burst into anger and willpower, showing his foul intent to eradicate the enemy before him. "You'll pay for this!"

Suddenly, Dennis pulled out another rose, quickly turning it into a rose whip. As he swiftly rose to his full height, swirling the rose whip in a dangerous fashion as petals of it emerged and spiraled only to rush altogether at Accino.

He roared, "Demon Rose Whip Thorn Wheel!"

After that, he would vanish from where he stood using his Soru. Appearing on the right side of his foe, he would violently swing his rose whip at his body. This time, Black Haki was clad in the weapon. He would kill.

"Demon Rose Whip!"

Demon Rose Whip Thorn Wheel: He draws the Rose Whip and swings it around him in a circle, as rose petals scatter around and stun his opponents, while the wheel created from the whip unleashes crescent-shaped energy blades.

Salchow and Hockera Vs. Karasu and Hotohori

Hockera used his Cryo Pucks to successfully counter Karasu's bat assault. The pucks stopped the bats in their tracks freezing them on contact as they fell to the floor.

"Attacks like these will never stop a hockey player! HOKEKEKE!!"

However, this would only upset the agent. Triggered, the agent conjured four more bombs. He threw them in an unexpected fashion that Hockera never expected.

The Hockey player's eyes widened in confusion as all bombs flew in different directions. Sweat poured down the Accino's face as he realized an tactic like this wouldn't be so easy to counter as the first. He braced himself as the explosion hit him hard sending him flying backwards.

Karasu's Bombs: 61-80: 2. Small Building Level
Hockera Durability: 41-60: 3. Large Building Level
DPR 1 below dura: somewhat effective

Hockera winced as he sat back up. "Heh I admit, that was a little better."

Hockera had expected the roof to have fallen upon him and Salchow already, but to his surprise a green plant had emerged out of thin air. It's mouth was open as it swallowed the rubble. It's vines extended towards Karasu in an attempt to ensnare him.

"Midori Boshi: Devil."

Midori Boshi: Devil (緑星・デビル , "Green Star: Devil"): The user throws a Pop Green to creates a large Venus Flytrap which attacks his enemies.

21-40: 0. Street Level+1: 41-60: 1. Wall/Tree Level

Simultaneously, the dust had settled as Salchow managed to fend of the technique of Hotohori. The agent commended the yellow haired man for countering his attack, but didn't stop. He pushed off of the roof and zig zagged through the air as he prepared for another attack.

"Dammit all!" Salchow said annoyed.

Little did the fighting parties know, another unexpected guest had joined the fray. At the exact moment Hotohori began to thrust his blade, another individual had appeared at his right side aiming a kick to save the love of her life. If successful, the agent would be knocked away for the time being.

"Jump and Kick!"

Jump and Kick (ジャンプ＆キック Janpu ando Kikku?): An ability performed by either Arbell or Salchow on their own, they literally jump in the air and kick the enemy.
DPR: C
41-60: 1. Wall/Tree Level + 1 = 61-80: 2. Small Building Level

Salchow stared hearteye'd at the attacker. "MY LOVE!"

"I'm sorry for being so late my sweet! I will never leave your side again." Arbell said as she stared at her husband starry eye'd.

Lil stood next to the venus flytrap, gagging at the two's public display of affection.

"How about we focus on winning and not lovemaking, you guys are so gross."

Don Accino vs Dennis

Accino crashed into the ground belly first with a massive BOOM. The impact was similar to that of a bomb, as debris and dust spread to every corner of the room. At the center, the Don stood menacingly visually looking similar to a demon as he was surrounded by dust. Molten rock had formed beneath his feet, but Dennis was nowhere to be seen. With the wounds he had suffered so far, it was only a matter of time before he fell and he knew it. In order to attain victory he would have to end it with the next few attacks. Or so he thought.

"Where'd you go runt? Did you escape or really get incinerated after all of that bravado?" Accino taunted between deep breathes.

As the dust cleared, the heat man saw his opponent. Dennis had managed to evade by the skin of his teeth. He stood a few meters away from the impact zone covered in blood and enraged. Accino smirked, satisfied that he dealt good damage and even more so that he wiped that smug look off of the young agent's face.

However that minor victory was short lived. His smile faded as Dennis unleashed a foul intent to kill.

I have to attack, now!

But he wouldn't get the chance. Dennis conjured up another rose whip. Spinning it he unleashed rose petals in the form of projectiles that rushed at the bounty hunter. The energy blades hit their mark sliced through the heat man's skin. Accino's face contorted with pain during the assault.

Dammit! The plants were one thing! But with all the damage I took, that whip is too much!

In his final moments, Accino eyes would widen in horror as Dennis vanished and appeared at his side. The last thing Accino saw was Dennis' deadly demonic whip. Dennis raised his arm overhead without an ounce of mercy in his eyes. Somehow, the whip was now drowned in black as the agent swung it brutally into the Don's side. Accino couldn't react, not only due to his injuries, but also the attack from earlier that had left him stunned.

"YOU BAST-"

SLICE!

The man fell backwards. Blood poured out the massive open wound that now took its place on his right side. His blood would cover Dennis entirely, as Accino land on the ground. Defeated.

To Dennis' surprise, behind of him he would hear cries of distress as newcomers entered the room.

"FATHER!!!"
"FATHER!!!"

The twins of the family had entered the fray.

Karasu & Hotohori VS Accino Enforcers

The game goes on. Karasu was able to deal a significant amount of damage upon casting away his 3 bat bombs on him. Hockera couldn't help but be annoyed at what's befallen him. However, much to his surprise the 4th bomb targeting the ceiling wouldn't fall down upon the two. "?!!"

Somebody just arrived, he thought as he looked at the vine trap that held the rubbles. Similar to Doctor's technique. Interesting.

Hockera spoke up, preaching what he just did as rose to his full size if there's any. He responded, "Oh! Please, don't cheer on me. We are just getting started. And it's been a while since I last killed a mouse."

He remarked the enforcer but he was also referring to the mysterious figure who had just joined the fray. After this, he stared at the silhouette standing beside the plant as he conjured another set of 8 bombs, just letting it all float around him. He then turned to Hockera. And he continued in a sinister tone.

"But if you think about it, DEATH isn't really that frightening. It's one thing inevitable about one's life. It's just a matter of time. And I have all the reasons to believe your time."

"IS NOW!"

"Multiple Bat Explosion! Night Parade!"

He casually uttered as he let loose all his 8 bombs in different trajectories, targeting the child botanist, the ugly Hockera, and two others.

If Hockera tanked all 4 bombs from the last post, his durability should be dealing with 3x Small Building Level damages.

Bomb DPR in this post: Small Building Level x 8.

Meanwhile, Hotohori threw himself out as he thrust the tip of his blade at Salchow. To his surprise, a figure emerged at his right, aiming to deliver a devastating kick. There's no time to evade the said attack for he had already launched his own weapon. He would take the blow but this also means that the initial technique would progress regardless.

Upon thrusting his weapon, a destructive and concentrated sphere of wind would be unleashed from the tip of the sword, traveling fast towards Salchow. And as soon as it was released, Hotohori face was hit by the kick as he crashed upon the brick wall, digging himself into the crack it did.

*CRASH*

"Gwah!", Blood dripped off his mouth as he stood up, staggering. "Shit!"

As he remarked this, he saw his comrade just cast away 8 explosives. Even though he has just risen up, he quickly gathered himself to get away from it for he knew how dangerous it would be. Leaping again into the ceiling, he would dig his sword once more and the same attack would be channeled in order to sandwich the 4 Accino family members.

Doctor vs Heatman

As the subordinates clustered outside the room, Dennis and the proud Don Accino continued their assault against each other. Both parties receiving pretty good damages already. But much worse for the Don.

Dennis, as he got away from the imminent death, just summoned another plant in order to fight back. He vanished as he rolled into the air, appearing on the right side of the enemy. As he did, he swung his rose whip, slashing the flesh of the foe once more.

He didn't speak. He was pissed.

And then the man fell backward. It was at the same time, that two figures appear out of nowhere. Dennis took a glance, giving them both a killing stare, manifesting his evil aura.

And he unleashed another round of dangerous living organisms. After doing this, he activated a mask to conceal his mouth and nose, much better, to protect his respiratory system. A single seed in his left palm would be thrown across the room and as soon as it was released, a massive smoke would begin to occupy the room, like a mist in the forest. But there's more to it, and in due time, the 3 members of their family would feel its demise.

Demon Star White Blossom Toxic Explosion: He releases a stream of toxic smoke using a pop grenade that penetrates through opponents and leaves them poisoned. Dennis uses a special mask when this is cast so he won't be affected.

Of course they would be suspicious of Dennis wearing a mask, so he tried to bluff, "I consider your class as a worthy opponent. A dangerous devil fruit ability indeed. You are worthy to fight. Worthy to DIE!"

After saying these harmful words, Dennis would throw another seed in the midst of the mist. A more dangerous one indeed. It would take several moments before its true form would manifest, but when it finally did, death shall rise.

Demon Star Memory Recall Tree: Dennis can control the roots of the Okunenju and use them to attack his opponent and even hurdle their path and vision. The plant, however, takes 2 turns to grow and requires a large amount of energy to manipulate. It can last up to 4 turns.
- DPR C, requires 41 Mastery, AOE = Mastery x 5 - 6 slots

Still capitalizing on the fog, he would throw the 3rd seed that he gathered. For he knew that Don and the other two would make their moves. And he would let them be.

"Demon Star Realm Bowing Grass"

He had to roar in order to divert their attention to the incoming Bowing Grass, letting them think that this was the only attack that he had cast.

Demon Star Realm Bowing Grass: A plant indigenous to South Blue. When grown with Haki, it mutates into a creature that responds to movements or heat by closing its leaves around its prey and crushing it to death.
- DPR: B, requires 41 Mastery, 41 COA - 4 slots

The World Government Vs. The Accino Family

In an unexpected turn of events, the Accino sisters had joined the fight in the corridor. Having heard the sounds of fighting coming from different sections of Lovely Land, Campacino, Brindo, Arbell and Lil decided to split up into groups of two to check out the two areas. The sisters arrived first on their end, witnessing the agents fighting intensely with Hockera and Salchow they acted quickly and intervened with attacks of their own throwing the agents off balance. However, as they would soon find out, their intervention would be less than fruitful.

Hotohori had managed to finish his technique before Arbell's attack landed, resulting in the agent and Salchow getting hit simultaneously by the respective attacks. Hotohori would crash into a brick wall, while Salchow would be pushed into the ground with a BOOM! As the impact hits him directly in the skull. Arbell screamed out in terror as she took notice of what happened to her beloved.

"MY LOVE!!!" Arbell exclaimed and she ran to her husband side with tears swelling in her eyes. Salchow coughed up blood as he dipped in and out of consciousness. Between the finger pistol he took earlier and the attack he just suffered, he had lost alot of blood already. "Don't... Worry... My sweet. I'm still breathing.. thank you for saving me.."

Arbell sobbed hugging her husband tightly.

Realising Karasu had taken notice of Lil, Hockera clenched his hockey stick preparing himself to attack.

Karasu: "Oh! Please, don't cheer on me. We are just getting started. And it's been a while since I last killed a mouse."

"You're the only one that's gonna die here. We outnumber you four to two." Lil replied threateningly.

Hockera responded with a scoff, not liking the situation they were in. Dammit. This is bad, these guys are too strong for Lil. I need to get to her before anything bad happens.

Karasu conjured eight bombs, to Hockera's dismay, and eye'd him menacingly before unleashing his attack.

Karasu: "But if you think about it, DEATH isn't really that frightening. It's one thing inevitable about one's life. It's just a matter of time. And I have all the reasons to believe your time."

"IS NOW!"

"Multiple Bat Explosion! Night Parade!"

"!?"

"NO!!!" Hockera exclaimed desperately as the agent released the bombs in multiple directions, intending to destroy them all in one go. Meanwhile, Hotohori had recovered from his surprise attack. Noticing his teammate had unleashed his technique, he wasted no time working in tandem, jumping into the air and unleashing a technique of his own. Aiming to sandwich the four Accino's with multiple attacks, each with the power to destroy buildings. The bombs would explode and the Rankyakus would rain on the Accino's, causing the entire corridor to collapse on itself and everyone in it.

Meanwhile Campacino and Brindo arrived just in time to witness their father fall victim to a wound inflicted by his attacker. The man would stare at them, releasing an aura of killing intent.

Brino grit his teeth, enraged by the state of his father. "Salchow was right, these females were up to no good!"

Campacino cracked his knuckles in response. "We'll take him down. Then regroup with the others."

Accino breathed heavily. The injury he suffered was so great that it took everything he had to stay conscious. He glanced to his left only to see his two sons getting ready to fight. His eyes widened in panic. He tried to warn them but couldn't, when he tried to speak he coughed up blood.

No stand down he's too strong! Escape and live!

But it was too late, Dennis had already made his move. The man put on a mask and flung something across the room causing a mist to fill the area.

The twins stood on guard, not sure what to make of the situation.

"It seems like he threw a smoke grenade."

"I don't think it's that simple, he did just put on a mask afterall."

"Tear gas?"

Dennis cut their conversation short, announcing his next attack.

Dennis: "Demon Star Realm Bowing Grass"

Brindo's body glowed red and Campacino's blue as they attract themselves together and spin rapidly.

"Let's show him the power of our brotherly love!"
"OHHHH YEAAAAAAAAH!!!"

"Magnetic Love Bazooka!!!"

Magnetic Love Bazooka (マグネティックラブバズーカ, Magunetikku Rabu Bazūka): The two brothers attract themselves together and spin rapidly in preparation for Lovely Crush Attack.

"Now.."
"Lovely Crush Attack"

Lovely Crush Attack (ラブリークラッシュアタック, Raburī Kurasshu Atakku): One of the two brothers repels the other, launching them at great speed and force due to the momentum of the spinning, with their arms crossed
DPR: B
41-60: 1. Wall/Tree Level+2=3. Large Building Level

Brindo repelled his brother into the newly grown plant at great speed and force. Campacino flew into the plant like a missile with his arms crossed.

All the while Accino struggled to his feet using every ounce of energy he had left. Blood poured out of his open wound, but Accino persevered nonetheless.

"I'm not...done yet! What kind of.. man would I be.. if I didn't protect my own children!" The bounty hunter said as heat of his fury escaped from his body.

Gambit · Jul 19, 2022

Karasu and Hotohori
Reinforcements arrived at the location of Salchow and Hockera. At first glance, it would appear as if, they would be able to turn the tables against the boastful agents. They were wrong. It only increased the chance of focusing on the fight as they would be bound to look after the weaker members of the family. And Karasu, being an outright evil in terms of justice would leverage on that.

Cunning and ever sadist, he conjured 8 powerful bat bombs. Made them afloat around him briefly. He waited for the perfect opportunity to launch the bombs so that would capture as many victims as possible. And so it happened when the four family members gathered in the same place after a series of back and forth and surprise attacks, 8 explosives flew right into their prey, feasting on blood as they all burst into a cone-shaped eruption. It rammed open the ceiling up to the highest floor this facility has. Hotohori's air blades would secure the kill as he trapped them even further from the side, not allowing any escape options. These air blades would also ensure that he wouldn't get caught by the shrapnels it would detonate.

"I just told you. DEATH isn't really that frightening.", he said, gesturing a trigger pulled towards his head.

But having to live to tell the tale and take all the pain as your family dies in front of your very eyes. That's one thing I would love to see."

"I don't care about human rights."

Karasu would walk towards the rubble and specks of dust. Hotohori only observed everything. He could interfere with the way Karasu does his mission. They are after all just completing an operation. As he walked by, he would swoop the dust by flicking his coat sideways. When the obscurity cleared, there, Salchow still lives. The child botanist included. Hockera struggled to even open his eyes. Arbell is in the same condition as Lil.

Karasu, strengthening the index finger he used to gesture a trigger on their heads, would magnify its sturdiness as he cursed a spell under his breath. "Shigan", he said in an ominous tone.

Finger dug deeply into the temples of the three figures beside Salchow. He wanted the man to bear witness to these kills as he was the one who identified the three of them as spies. "This is a gift for all eternity."

41-60: 1. Wall/Tree Level
61-80: 2. Small Building Level
81-100: 3. Large Building Level

"It's an accident.", Hotohori concurred.

Doctor Kurama vs Don Accino
Inside the future place of death of the Don and the famous bounty hunter of the Accino family, the battle between a devil fruit user and plant lover continued. The entirety of the room looks like Jumanji's game. It's all wrecked, clouded, and full of mystical plants. Living things that would not normally be seen in a city or a residential area. These plants are of a demon statue. Cultured by Dennis himself from Demon Star seeds, marcotted with the seeds of Green Star. The result of this process would re-create a new species or order of plants capable of secreting a specific poison that varies in threat levels. These plants were assumed to have helped in photosynthesis or be a provider of fresh air. How could something so divine be your cause of doom?

The Demon Star White Blossom Toxic Explosion seed was the first to be thrown and immediately it materialize inside the room as soon as Dennis wore his poison/smoke-proof mask. The enemies suspected something is off. They taught it was mere tear gas. Dennis would not resort to circus display. Not only he is classy. His plants are more than elegant to be replaced by tear gas.

When this burst out and mixed in the air, the family would have felt it already. A numbing sensation that may not directly rupture your body, but little by little it would. There's no more blissful moment than seeing your opponent die slowly.

The art of seeing them suffer before their vanquish signifies the success of his experiments. A new foundation is born. A benchmark of scientific advancement is performed. Discovery and continuous improvement of subjects. It's the art and science of poisoning.

Whilst the toxic smoke occupied the room, another plant emerged. One indigenous in South Blue. The Demon Star Bowling Grass. It's a rather grotesque creature that resembles a vine trap albeit this one is full of darkness. It fed on its master's haki and responds very efficiently to movement, but above all - to heat. What an odd match-up.

Following his smoke, the plant quickly grew, responding heavily to movement, aggressively, it would lash out at the lower Accino members as they propelled continuously, constricting them in its choking petals.

"Fool...", he remarked to the two. "These plants respond on movements. The more you move, the more it attacks and constricts you when you get caught."

"I will help you die if that's what you wish."

"Here it is.", he added.

The previous seeds that he previously set in stone would materialize by now as the two would keep on battling the bizarre plant. And since Accino also became agitated once more, he would fire up and catch the attention of the same plants the twin brothers are responding to now.

"It's time."

"Demon Star Memory Recall Tree"

He roared, and Haki followed the tips of newly fast-growing trees as they all tried to erupt skyward. It would kill. Its trunks are as strong as metals and could easily penetrate their fleshes if caught unguarded. As they sprang forth, beautiful pink cherry blossoms would make the room its sanctuary as they all fall down, letting loose for freedom.

Its area of effect is large enough to cover the entire room shooting them skywards while also trying to fly against the former plants that respond to their movement.

"This is how I help you to change your lives. It's an offer that expires quickly. Take it. Beg for it, Accino."

The Demon Agents
@Landayan

The structure of the building collapsed on the Accino Family, as the powerful attacks of the Ciphor Pol agents combined tore everything apart. As the dust cleared, Hotokori stayed back and watched as Karasu took confident strides towards to rubble.

Burried. Salchow, Hockera, Lil and Arbell were pinned under what used to be the roof of the corridor. Salchow had awakened first, blood and injuries could be seen from every inch of his body. Wincing, the pain ached his being as he saw a shape take form through the dust. Barely making him out, Salchow realized it was the agent making his way towards them.

Karasu: "I just told you. DEATH isn't really that frightening."

The Accino exhaled aggressively. Anger and hatred consumed him, but he could do nothing. He was unable to move or speak due to his injuries combined with the weight of the debris. All he could do was watch as his worst nightmare was about to unfold.

Karasu: "But having to live to tell the tale and take all the pain as your family dies in front of your very eyes. That's one thing I would love to see."

"I don't care about human rights."

With the flick of his cape, the dust was cleared. Agent Karasu stared them down menacingly. Hockera struggled to keep his eyes open, barely conscious after the two attacks. Lil and Arbell were alive but completely unconcious, unaware of what was to come. Some could say that was a blessing rather than otherwise. Salchow's eyes widened in horror, realising what the agent was about to do. Karasu's finger was outstretched and aimed towards the heads of his family.

No! Take me instead! I'm the one who suspected y-

Karasu: "Shigan."

His finger moved swiftly, plunging deeply into the skulls of the three Accino members. Instantly, the life left from their bodies, only Salchow living to bear witness to it all.

Karasu: "This is a gift for all eternity."
Hotokori: "It's an accident."

Tears welled in Salchow's eyes. He felt powerless, no, was powerless in this tragic turn of events. To think everything could fall apart so quickly. Fate truely was cruel.

M-My Arbell! My love Arbell! You came to save me, but all that resulted in was your death. I-If I wasn't so weak, you would be alive right now. I'm sorry...so very sorry..

Salchow sobbed silently, completely engulfed with grief. A pathetic shell of his former self.

Meanwhile in Don Accino's quarters, the fight still continued in a jungle hell, crafted by the botanist agent Dennis.

Accino had chosen to fight, seeing his sons risk their lives against they mighty adversary for his sake. However, his declaration to fight would be all for nothing, as the gas had begun to take effect. Meanwhile the other plant grew, Campacino flew directly into it only to be ensnared into its petals, followed by Brindo, who the plant had detected from their spinning in the beginning.

Dennis: "Fool..."

Dennis: "These plants respond on movements. The more you move, the more it attacks and constricts you when you get caught."

"I will help you die if that's what you wish."

"Here it is."

Having inhaled the poison gas for some time, Brindo, Campacino and the Don would feel their body begin to go numb.

"What is this? I can't feel my body!"
"Me neither! What's happening!?"
said distraught. While their father would only get even more enraged.

Dennis: "It's time."

"Demon Star Memory Recall Tree!"

"THESE FUCKING PLANT TRICKS ARE GETTING ON MY NERVES!" shouted Accino, tired of it all. The Don dropped to one knee, his injuries and the poison made him unable to move from where he stood. The plants, responding to the heat emitting from his body shot forth ensnaring him as well, crushing the trio. All could he do was watch as his sons struggled for their lives.

Coated in haki, the tips of the newly sprouted plants grew to the sky in quick succession. They covered the entire room penetrating the bodies of the Accinos, giving the space a pink hue as cherry blossoms filled the area. They all scream out in agony and their bodies were being torn apart. One would consider this a beautiful conclusion. Artisticly done.

Dennis: "This is how I help you to change your lives. It's an offer that expires quickly. Take it. Beg for it, Accino."

Don Accino couldn't muster the strength to keep his eyes open. And even if he could, his eyesight was too blurry to see the aftermath of his sons, who lay dead in the arms of the plant that had them all trapped. Some would say that was a blessing rather than otherwise. His blood painted the ground. He coughed up buckets more as he tried to speak.The heat had left his body. It grew cold as death was approaching.

"Fuck...you. Bastard." Accino said, spitting a ball of blood into the agent's direction. His last act of defiance, before finally closing his eyes having lost the strength to fight. The Accino Family was defeated.

Gambit · Aug 6, 2022

Finale
@Mr. Anderson

Hotohori and Karasu
"Let's get out of here."

Those were the first words Karasu spoke after dealing the final blows into the heads of the family outside Salchow. Hotohori would comply. "Yeah."

The two demon agents who mopped the floor of the Accino mansion would walk towards the hallway, destroyed and beyond recognition. They left the bodies of the fallen Accinos without remorse. Salchow was left there not even looking at the departing government dogs. Perhaps, losing his sanity. When the two closed into the end of the hallway, Hotohori would slash the wall to make a path for them. The end of the tunnel finally gave light to the darkened battleground. All filled with blood and agony. An eternal void placed within a present void. It would loop endlessly until the remaining Accino left the earth. Ruthless.

Doctor Dennis Kurama
The botanist of the Cipher Pol 5 unloosed a series of deadly seeds that grew inside the receiving area of Don Accino. The entire vicinity took the form of a jungle filled with both carnivorous and poisonous plants and trees. He stood there right in front of the family of three as all of them continuously dealt with his Demon Star Realm Bowing Grass. A plant that reacts actively with movement and heat. A terrible matchup for them.

Having been caught and constricted by these living organisms and having been choked by his smoke of poisonous gas, Don and his two sons would finally succumb to ends meet. Dennis at this point has also reached the height of his strength and willpower. But he's the type of man who would conceal weakness. For one last time, a precise and accurate final strike was unleashed. The Demon Recall Memory Tree, all of the tips are planted with Haki as they skyrocketed the strangled enemies, piercing into their fleshes and soul.

He talked to them briefly and asked them to submit. They wouldn't heed. The futile pride. It wouldn't take them anywhere. Pride after all is a sign of bravery, self-respect, and determination but that's it. Without strength, pride is just another form of weakness one has to bear. A ball and chain.

"They wear weak. That's why they died.", he said to Accino as his sons lost their souls.

Removing his mask as the toxin finally reduced to zero, he strode elegantly and arrogantly towards the Don. "You are weak, too. That's why you couldn't help them."

"What a perfect climax for you to witness the miracle of nature. What a perfect ending to be as one with these creatures."

"Rose Whip... Spiraling Thorn Attack"

Securing the kill, the botanist swung his rose whip for one last time as they spiraled towards the patriarch. The thorns that are as sharp as a metal sword would intertwine with the fallen bodies of his foes, decapitating their heads. Severing their remains. And after the pieces of their corpse fell to the ground, the remnants of the venus traps would devour them. What a sadist! He would watch as this menace transpired until another plant bloomed exactly where Don's body was last seen. An obese trunk sprang forth with leaves as black as his sunglasses. At the end of the blossom, it would give birth to a reddish fruit with spirals on its surface. The doctor smirked. He would eventually pick the fruit and keep it to safe. Mission accomplished.

Demon Rose Spiraling Thorn Attack: Dennis launches the rose whip in a spiraling motion to slash his target.
- DPR: A, requires 61 Mastery, 61 Strength

Moments later, we would see him joining the other two outside the ruins. "Is the ship ready?"

Karasu responded without looking at the speaker. "You're later Doctor."

"Bueno. Let's go meet someone. He's been waiting."

"That man?", Hotohori speculated. Dennis only smirked for another person of mystery would soon resurface.

End of Accino Arc
