As Slade was approaching the destination as of where the thunderbolt hit he began to anxiously gritting his teeth with a slight grin.

Phew! ... it's getting hotter and hotter the more i approach the scene it's as if the centre of the of this place the hotter it gets. I need to try running under the shade.

She then unleashed her clima tact and a lighting bolt came down from the dark sky, on his way to Eve's target.

"Well would you look at that never have i seen thunder been struck twice in the same area"

Dragomir said:

I won't be any help when it comes to the offense, but I'll try to provide any possible defense. Yes, I'll run in front of Musashi, he should grab me when I get near him and use me as a shield!

OI MUSASHI! I'M RUNNING TOWARDS, AS I'M NOT ANY HELP FOR OFFENSE, I'LL BE HELP FOR DEFENSE! WHEN I COME NEAR YOU, GRAB ME AND USE ME AS A SHIELD!

Hey what's this another voice coming from that place too ... by the look of things whoever this Musashi is he's being defeated .. Whilst Slade panted as he ran ... Damn i am sure missing out on some action that is really one of a kind with all that thunderbolt earlier and now this ....

As Slade was panting he began to hear a uproar as the ground beneath him began shaking at this point it was as if Slade's soul was shaking. Slade who still had his mask on but felt intimidated as sweat began to trickle down his face, whilst his breathing became heavy recognising no matter what he had to escape what was to come as he began to scan the area as where to escape the on-comers.

20,000 Armed Rebels flooded into the streets of the West Block with rage in their eyes. Their rage helped mask their fear and their sadness. This was their homeland. Why did it have to be like this? It had to be like this now. It was no longer up to them.

A Rebel Scout on a rooftop spots a group of people fighting in close proximity together, one of them had just fired a bullet at a woman holding another figure!

Rebel Scout: "There are some people over here! By the storm clouds(?!)!! Come one! Attack! Take back our homeland!"

A group of 500 Rebels, with more coming behind them, converge upon the bloody scene already underway. The Scout fires off a flare to alert near by Rebels of the confrontation underway! Ready to attack all non-rebel personnel present, they would charge in and indiscriminately swing their swords attempting to hack down their enemies!

Slade's instant reaction was to observe the surrounding as he squinted his eye noticing a strange person with a "X" marked on their face whereas another with some strange bandages.

To think i am getting involved now with these guys but i have no choice dammit.

"Oi whoever you are RUNNN!"

Slade shouted at the two not knowing who and where they came from but came out of instinct. It was as if deep down within himself he knew the earlier lightning bolts as well as the shouting came from them as Slade who was simply intrigued in the duo didn't want them caught.

Drago was frantic as he pushed the woman to her side. His face was being rapidly covered in sweat as he was afraid to see the result. Please don't die. Not now... As the woman flipped to her back, revealing her face, Drago's mouth dropped, eyebrows raised and his eyes widened as he was thunderstruck by what he saw.

Huh? What Drago saw was the exact image of himself. Same nose, same hair, same everything. What the hell is this? This ain't the woman! This is me!
Capt_NakedPanda said:

Mr.2: "I don't know and I don't care! But what I care about is... won't you dear saviour of mine, give yourself a kiss while holding me like that?"

Drago curled his lips in disgust, the muscles in his cheeks moving to adjust. Get away from me! As the imposter Drago leaned in for a kiss, the real Drago jerked his head backwards, immediately after a knife him whooshed in front of his face. Trying to hit me huh? Alright you damn imposter. If it's a battle you want, it's a battle you'll get. Drago got on his toes and jumped backwards, landing delicately near Koujiro. Looks like you were right Koujiro. Drago couldn't muster to look up at his friend as he almost wanted to fight him over what was a supposed imposter. His eyes were cast down on the ground as he was ashamed about himself.

After what seemed to be a millenium Drago apologized. I'm sorry.

Central Square

Koujiro hesitated for a second once he saw Drago's face in Drago's arms. In his moment of hesitation the real Drago managed to dodge the attack of the imposter, standing up and away. Pulling tne trigger twice, Koujiro aimed to bury two projectiles deep within his foe's chest, one on the right and one on the left. He would pause for a second, while waiting to see whether or not the imposter would dodge the bullets.

Dragomir said:

I'm sorry

Koujiro absently nodded, opening his mouth to accept the apology, when he realized that there was a loud ruckus nearby, growing louder and louder. He turned his head to his right, looking down the street just in time. His eyes widened at the sight that rounded the corner. Hundreds, no thoussnds of soldiers rounded the corner, charging down the street towards them. They were mostly not trained soldiers. A militia perhaps. Without hesitation Koujiro pulled out his second gun from within his coat, firing 10 bullets in rapid fashion, each finding the forehead of an enemy, dropping them instantly. Yet it was nothing but a drop in a bucket. The ones that fell were trampled within a second, another taking their spot, the advance never even halted. Drago! Call the captain!


With that Koujiro holstered his gun, smoke still expelling from its barrel, before looking down at where the imposter had been a second ago. If he had not moved, Koujiro would run over and grab him, pulling him with him. If he had ran off, Koujiro would simply run off. His feet carried him much faster than the soldiers did, as he ran down the street, going west, making sure to not leave Drago behind.

Musashi and co vs MDF and Mr 1

As MDF fell to the ground Musashi did as well, just a few steps away from her with his face towards where his comrades were gathered. He didn't have much left in him after taking on the previous attack from Mr 1 which had immobilized his arm with blood starting to gush out from the wound.

From his position he could see as Straw was charging straight for them and he could do nothing but admire him and his bravery but knew that it was foolish doing such a charge when he saw Mr 1 turning his feets into blades and awaiting Straw, and thus with his last bit of strength left, he shouted towards his comrades:

Straw-san fall back, this man is a DF user! and someone contact Minuano-senpai and make them aware of our situation!

Before passing out he looked towards MDF, hoping to see her dead but unfortunately she seemed to be still clinging to life just like him and crawling away from them all...as his eyes shut the ground started to tremble as if there was an uproar approaching them all...What's going on....!?

Sigmund stood there blinking. He had turned around to check his read and well, he wasn't sure what he was seeing. Was that a man flopping around in the desert? No it couldn't be? Could it? of course not. he, Tom and Jerry all approached the crazed man....yes it was a man of course. What the hell was he doing? Was he...oh dear he was going crazy.

Great, just great! I mean, it is great! MHe's got a 3rd person with him. Now they'll probably find the place for sure. The tracks said that way so, he turned around and looked up at the other 3.

Alright guys! Here is the plan, we're following these tracks and we'll get to the city in no time to find the captain! And when we do we'll help with whatever we can. Also find some good food, and water, I mean, seriously who goes into the desert without any water? I just don't understand you my friend, no water. What did you think you would do, find an eternal never ending spring. Sigmund the scratched at his head, Course I didn't do any better since I forgot the darn map, but at least the captains stupidly large feet will guide our way there. I just hope he doesn't kill us. Or eat us. Or throw us at someone to use as a weapon. He might though so we best be on the look out! Anyways Landayan, what is it that you do again? And how did you find us anyways, I mean we walked past that spot and there was no one there before, was there? I don't actually remember I was to busy looking at the tracks. But anyways, To the captain!

Sigmund and the 3 then booked it down the desert once again. This time they were going just a bit slower as landayan needed a bit of time to recover from the blistering heat and not bringing water. Once he was recovered they could pick up the pace surely and be at the city in no time! To find the captain, get some food and maybe a thing or two. I mean there was bound to be things not tied down right? Just tying things that the owners surely wouldn't miss. Sigmund grinned at the thought of this and it only made him want to head there even faster! Oh the adventure they could have. Provided the captain doesn't step on him

Once you're ready to run, we can run my friend! I'm sure we're almost there by now! Any time now auyways! Sigmund said with a nod to Landayan.

Tom and Jerry


While they were running along with Sigmund, both Tom and Jerry remain vigilant. They often looking around to the right, left, and back to see if there any suspicious activity. And it was at that moment Tom saw a man acting suspiciously a few distance behind them.

Tom: "Ummm . . . guys . . . do you see that?"

Jerry : "Yeah, who is he? Why he looks like a crazy man? We better check him out, come on!"

Tom: "Ok . . . Let's go!"
And with that, Tom and Jerry walking back towards the man, and turn out Sigmund also following. After a while, they arrived and found that than is already laying on the ground while uttering nonsense.

Meat!! Water!! Princess!! Where are they..??
They're gone?!!

A three-headed man?

Nah! It's too noisy!!!

A cat and a rat?? What are these dreams I am having right now?

Jerry : "Hey dude, what are you saying about . . .?"

Tom : "Is he a mad man?"

Jerry : "Nah, it seems he is just an idiot who got a heat stroke."

Tom : "Oh, is that so? Woooyyy . . . wake up, bitch . . .!!!"
Tom shouting at the man then slapped him hard. As the man regain his consciousness, Tom began talking to him while offering food and water.

Tom: Here!! This is what we have now. You were hallucinating just then and tried to bite us you motherfucker..

Jerry: What are you up to? And where are you from?

The man then answering Tom and Jerry's questions.

Landayan, from a forest island in East Blue. It is a long story how I get here but for now, can I accompany you three and reach the town? I shall tell you a some of it while we cross this vast desert.

Hearing that, Sigmund then replied.

Alright guys! Here is the plan, we're following these tracks and we'll get to the city in no time to find the captain! And when we do we'll help with whatever we can. Also find some good food, and water, I mean, seriously who goes into the desert without any water? I just don't understand you my friend, no water.

And how did you find us anyways, I mean we walked past that spot and there was no one there before, was there? I don't actually remember I was to busy looking at the tracks. But anyways, To the captain!

Landayan was eating and drinking while Sigmund make his pep-talks. And after a while and the man seems regain his lost strength, all four of them then start to walk again, trying to follow his Captain's footsteps that's almost wiped off completely by the desert sand.

Landayan couldn't help himself but laugh his fucking as off while his company unravels the story behind his crazy mishaps before they got to approach his person.

I couldn't believe that I was like that earlier and I shall thank you enough for rescuing me back then. I was really hungry and exhausted so it couldn't be helped.

I will promise to repay your kindness. Nyahahahahaha!

Krogothwolf said:

He recalled and retell the story on how he managed to ditch onto their ship.

Well, remember back in Twin Peaks? You left your ship unattended - albeit a short period of time while you guys are busy fucking with the other organizations. I hid in the underneath most deck of your ship hardly could rest and fall asleep because of the weather. No! maybe because of your captains actions. His like a baby racking the boat.

I have a beef with that Warlord because of he did to my boat when I was younger crossing the East Blue. It was a pleasant noon when a ship approached my path and a huge volume of sand suddenly engulfed my boat and I. The next thing I know, was me floating on the surface of the water with my wrecked boat.

"Damn you! Crocodile! Someday I will get my revenge to you bastard~!", he recalled.

That's when I started mastering the art of boarding a boat without anyone's recognition. Before your crew arrived in Twin Peaks, I was already there making a fortune in gambling.

Nobody in that island has ever defeated me in Poker and Card-throwing. People in that place gave me an epithet of "Gambit".

So from now on, you guys call me as is.

And as they glimpse the romantic view of the town and finally getting across the vast desert, Landayan responded with another nod.

Let's do this!

Standing in for Crocodile exactly where he stood before.

Larsi said:

Son of a-

Crocodile faintly heard his opponent almost swear. The sand that was crocodile was a very useful substance, increasing one's own senses several folds, he had hoped the fact that his opponent swore means it attack was very effective but he was old an well trained, he knew not to be excited by such things.

Larsi said:

Larsi kicked off the ground, the sand he stood upon muffling the sound of his movements. Leaping through the air, his hand started to glow with pulsing energy, the same attack as before once more boosted by his invisible haki. He hoped Crocodile would not realize what was going on until it was too late, but hoped that if he somehow dodged again, Minuano would be able to follow up with an attack on the Shichibukai.

Where Crocodile sand was, he himself was. He could feel his opponent's servant climb on top of the giant and his heart almost came to a standstill when he felt his opponent jump. Having his one entire leg made of sand made him even more tuned in, into the movement of the sand surrounding him, He felt exactly where the distribution of pressure from the giant's foot was when he jumped and by that could easily deduce where the giant was going to land next. Crocodile quickly made his calculations and realised he was the target, it was so quick that to an outsider it would appear that crocodile was not thinking at all.

Using the fact that his hand was already on the ground to his advantage he fortified his defences with the most powerful attack he could muster. Create a spear from several times better than the one he used before and placed it right in front of him making sure that the spike was at least his own size and therefore would impale anything that would attempt to trample him.

Larsi said:

Do you think you're the only one who's lived a hard life?

Crocodile almost lost focus when he heard his opponent screamed from what sounded like to be right on top of him, he braced himself against the attack.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________

What was only split seconds felt like minutes. The impact the giant made with Crocodiles sand blade made it feel like Crocodile's entire universe rumbled. It all happened so quickly, Crocodile had just in time summoned his giant sand blade when the Giant rained down on top of him. Luckily for crocodile, the Giant instead impacted his sand blade, unluckily for Crocodile that did not help. The Pure shockwave from the Giants attack threw crocodile back, unfortunately, he still stood straight up when the impact from the Giants' fist shot sand everywhere. The sand through the pure power exhibited by the Giant became shrapnel and cut through crocodile, like blades made of steel.

Crocodile stood there, silently as he was bleeding out from what appeared to be every inch of his body. Before he could even regain his composure and felt a blade made contact with his already tattered body. That is when he knew he was done. As he fell backwards into where the sand waited to greet him like an old friend, he gave a gurgled laugh "Ha Ha Ha Ha Soon you will all meet me in the afterlife. Once the last tick tocks it is all over for you!" He said to no one in particular.

Crocodile closed his eyes and as he gave his last breath he felt the first drops of a long forgotten rain fall on his face.

West block fight.

It all happened way too fast. Eve can still see how Musashi was struggling with the girl while the guy was struck by the lighthing. What happened to her bullet? The only thing Eve could see was Musashi laying on the ground about to pass out. The woman was also laying on the ground. Is she dead? Did my bullet hit her? It only took Eve a couple of seconds to notice what happened to her bullet. The girl never got hit by the bullet, but it was Musashi that struck her.

It was straws dead body that caught her bullet. Anger was about to take over Eve. How can you do this, you bastard! You're going to pay for this. Eve was able to resist the anger. What looked like forever she stared at Straws dead body, tears in her eyes. She never expected the guy to make a rush at her after taking down Straw. She knew the guy was struck by her lighting, so she decided to try and dodge the guy and immediately hit him with the end of her rifle. As the guy was nearing she kneeled down and went forward to dodge him, at the same time she made an attempt to hit him with the rifle.

Eve easily came up again and immediately went to Yama.
Yama, I want you to do something. Be quick and grab the Den Den Straw was holding with him. Contact the captain once you have it. Tell him we're in a hurry and tell him the situation with the bomb.


At the same time as Eve spoke those words she felt the ground temble and a lot of noice coming her way. Shit, I have to hurry.. I have no idea what is happening in this City, but it feels like I am running out of time. Eve prepared her clima tact for a thunder ball. She was already out of time, a huge group of people came her way. Shit! Eve looked from one to another, first the guy and then the group of people. There was no time and while the clock was ticking she prepared her Clima tact. Charging up would only take a few second. Not long after the charge she unleased another Thunder tempo towards the people rushing at her. Secretly, she hoped the man would also get hit by hit, but first prio was to get the hell out of here.


Yama, we have to hide! Hurry up. Quickly Eve made a run towards Musashi, who already passed out. Lucky as she was she noticed that the woman from earlier tried to crawl away into a hole she made earlier. Eve decided to not go for her. In the end, before the woman was in her hole, Eve kicked her with her dirty boots, not knowing where exactly she was aiming. Loud thunder was the only thing she heard behind her. C'mon Musashi, don't give up on me now!.

I'm sorry Straw, I couldn't get your body. Is what Eve thought while getting herself and Musashi to safety.

East of the City

Larsi felt his fist connect with the spike, breaking through and sending shrapnel flying forwards. Breaking through the cloud of sand he stumbled, finding his footing. He let out a sigh of relief as he saw that his attack was still somewhat successful, Crocodile impaled, then cut by Minuano. Just as relief was starting to fill him, he felt a blade crash into his side, though it was so weak it only left a shallow cut in his skin. Turning towards the direction it had came from, he searched for the assailant while listening to the words of his dying foe.
Smileyman said:

"Ha Ha Ha Ha Soon you will all meet me in the afterlife. Once the last tick tocks it is all over for you!"

Taking the words into consideration, he shoved them to the back of his mind as rain started falling from the sky. The cloud of sand that obscured his vision dissipated, revealing Pell who stood there, holding his sword. The giant was about to open his mouth and speak to the soldier, but then another sound caught his attention. Turning his head even more, he looked at the city of Alubarna.

He now heard and saw what he had not been able to in the midst of battle. Plumes of smoke rose towards the darkened sky. The screams and clangs of battle echoed throughout the air, growing louder and louder. A battle. The others were still inside. Several emotions started boiling within him at this moment. Fear for his comrades. Guilt for sending them into that. Anger at fate that had brought them to this. It was the latter that fueled him the most as he turned towards Pell, sweeping up the corpse of the Shichibukai into the palm of his hand. Fury in his voice, and face, he spoke to the man who would try to stop him.

We are leaving now, and I suggest you do so too. You have bigger problems. I wonder how much of an accident it is that your country has experienced a drought for such a long time, according to my research, only for it to end when the man with the power of dryness is killed! He held up the lifeless body of Crocodile for a second, before lowering his arm again. Go save your people, and I will save mine. But if you choose to fight us, know that I have no restraints when someone holds me from protecting my comrades. He narrowed his eyes at the last, as if daring Pell to try it. Come Minuano, they need our help. Try calling them so that we can find them easier.

The giant turned, waiting for Minuano to leap atop his shoulder once more, before rushing off at a breakneck speed.

Sigmund and his merry band of followers were jogging along nicely. Well jogging was an understatement. They were running as fast as they could and as fast as the damn desert would allow them while making sure they stayed hydrated. Well it was mostly making sure the crazy man who followed them stayed hydrated. I mean the man did show up all of the sudden raving like a lunatic. Though that was partially due to the heat, but he was in the desert without anything to keep him hydrated. Crazy man indeed.

Alright Guys! I think I see the city just in the distance and.....wait..wait...is that?

Sigmund strained his eyes a bit and smiled nicely. Oh boy he was sure of it, only one man could be that tall! Clearly it was the Captain. And the hair, yep was him! He let out a whoop of glee!

Told you boys! Wed not get lost. I mean we might have but I knew we wouldn't now lets go great the Captain and help him out, right fellas?

Sigmund nodded at the 3 and waited for them to respond, once they did he turned and got them running as fast as they can before the captain made off without them. Sigmund was quick to start shouting at the top of his lungs as he came closer

CAP'N CAP'N YOU FORGOT ABOUT US ON THE SHIP! I WAS UH, BUSY PREPARING FOOD, yeah that;s right! he'll believe that for sure! THE NEXT THING I KNEW YOU WERE ALL GONE! WAIT UP FOR US AND LET US HELP CAP'N! I'VE GOT SOME SNACKS ANYWAYS, LIKE JERKY I MEAN I DIDN'T BRING WHAT I PREPPED OBVIOUSLY, BUT I GOT SNACKS HOLD UP CAP'N!

Sigmund kept waving and shoutin as he ran. Oh please for the love of god he hoped the captain didn't step on him.

Battle on the West Block

In the middle of a heated battle, Yamamoto became a witness to such bravado. Straw the drunkards, has sacrificed himself in order to save his comrades.

From behind the building, Yamamoto watch how that event unfold. With his feet turned into blades, the bald man dashed towards Straw who's approached him like he was sliding on ice, picking more and more speed. While the bald man dashing, the stones which thrown by Yamamoto luckily hit and connected above the bald man's right eye. Upon reaching Straw the bald man turned his fingers into blades and sunk it deep into Straw's stomach. But that was not the end. Upon successful hit, the bald man use Straw's body as a shield and block the bullet shot by Eve.

"... I've told you to stay in the bar, didn't I?! Now looks what happen to you . . .!!!", Yamamoto didn't speak any words upon witnessing what just happened, but there's just a short thought that came to his mind as Eve comes to him.

Yama, I want you to do something. Be quick and grab the Den Den Straw was holding with him. Contact the captain once you have it. Tell him we're in a hurry and tell him the situation with the bomb.

And right after Eve spoke those words, he began to run and trying to bring Musashi who are passing out to safety as the ground tremble. From the distance Yamamoto could hear thousands of footsteps coming to his battlefield. The people's are shouting warcry and ululating as they made their advance.

"Thou, whose deep ways are in the sea,
Whose footsteps are not known,
To-night a world that turned from Thee
Is waiting -- at Thy Throne.

The towering Babels that we raised
Where scoffing sophists brawl,
The little Antichrists we praised --
The night is on them all.

The fool hath said . . . The fool hath said . ..
And we, who deemed him wise,
We who believed that Thou wast dead,
How should we seek Thine eyes?

How should we seek to Thee for power
Who scorned Thee yesterday?
How should we kneel, in this dread hour?
Lord, teach us how to pray!

Grant us the single heart, once more,
That mocks no sacred thing,
The Sword of Truth our fathers wore
When Thou wast Lord and King.

Let darkness unto darkness tell
Our deep unspoken prayer,
For, while our souls in darkness dwell,
We know that Thou art there.", Yamamoto made his prayers before he run towards Straw's dead body which laying on the ground.

Upon reaching Straw, Yamamoto tooks the Den Den Mushi from him and put it on his pocket. He then wrapped Straw's dead body using his haori and tied it to his back.

"Don't worry my friend, there's no one will be left behind. We will go back to our comrades together."

Minuano and Larsi Vs Pell and Crocodile

I...did it...WE DID IT! Minuano was completely euphoric as he felt his blade connect with Crocodile's body and cut through him in one swoop, with Crocodile's blood splatting all over the sand around them. Minuano stood there as the exhaustion caught up to him as he let both his shoulder down in a resting position as he stood there over Crocodile's body.

As the rain suddenly started to pour down around them, Minuano remembered the fruit he had with him and proceeded to reach inside the inner pocket of his yukata, taking out the small mango fruit he had stashed in there before leaving the ship. The fruit was covered with sand and as he observed it he could see strange cloud like patterns appear all around the fruit. He brushed the sand off the fruit with the help of his sleeve and the rain to clean it up a little bit and then just as he took a bite off the mango he noticed the sweet taste had now been replaced with a bitterness that quickly spread all over his mouth, he wanted to throw up but was interupted when he heard Larsi call to him
Larsi said:

Come Minuano, they need our help. Try calling them so that we can find them easier.

on my way, cap

*Gulp* he swallowed the bite and threw the rest of the fruit away before jogging to Larsi and climb up to his shoulder.Well upp there he glanced towards Alubarna and could now see some kind of turmoil going on , Minuano pulled out their den den mushi and sent a call to their crewmates.

*Prrr prrr*

Come on guys answer...!

Should someone answer, Minuano will explain to them of their victory over Crocodile and notify them that they are on their way to grab them off the nearest entrance.

"You don't need to slow down your pace neh.. You guys have to ensure that you get to catch up with your crew. I am on my own". Some stupid words coming from Gambit itself..

Still catching his breath and undeniably running out of stamina, Gambit rejoiced just so suddenly when drizzles are falling from the angry sky.. Little by little it is becoming more and drops faster..

"What?!", he wonders..

"It's pouring down with rain.."

Amidst his fatigue, he opens his mouth widely and tried to catch as many as he can.. He almost bloated himself with water..

"Finally!"..

I never thought that it would have rained in a dry place like this.. Nature is too unpredictable I supposed.

At that same moment, his weird and tiny companion suddenly yelled at the dashing people.. He yelled over his lungs to be heard by that people crossing parallel to their pathway..

Gambit just realized that it is the tall guy and the captain of that sshiphe was on going to this place..

"Such size but speed, too?! Unbelievable! I have never seen such giant with that speed..", Gambit expressed his disbelief to the captain of the people who saved him in the middle of the desert.

"Did he notice us?", he asked Sigmund.. But the dwarf just continues to shout like he is being ganked by a group of dead people..

Sigmund eventually drew his head at them and nodded.. The nnext thing Gambit knew, he was running along with the other 3..

Good riddance..

Tom and Jerry



The four of them are running as fast as possible while keeping the crazy man hydrated. Tom and Jerry are still wondering what is Landayan thinking on his mind when he decides to go to the desert without any food and water.

Jerry : "Hey Tom, why does we need to help him? Looks he is crazy!!"

Tom : "Well what already happened is happens. Just bear with it and let the Captain decide what he wants to do with him."

Tom and Jerry are murmuring slowly so that the man wouldn't hear them.

As the run and run, the distance between them and the city has grown smaller. And it was in this moment when they could see a huge figure. So huge that they were certain that it was their captain.

Krogothwolf said:

Alright Guys! I think I see the city just in the distance and.....wait..wait...is that?


Told you boys! Wed not get lost. I mean we might have but I knew we wouldn't now lets go great the Captain and help him out, right fellas?

Tom and Jerry just sighing sharply and nodded after hearing wha Sigmund was saying. They then taking up more speed to go to at their Captain who's seems about to went somewhere else.

Tom and Jerry quickened their pace as the clouds began to gather in the sky. Up to now, the sky had been scorching heat, but it was changing. The boiling cocktail-blue shade was beginning to darken into gravel-grey. Large pillows of cloud were forming, blotting out the old-gold colour of the sun. Droplets of moisture began to drip from the skies.

Pell was horror-struck when he witnessed before his eyes Crocodiles demise. Pirate are so brutal and without honour."There is no place on this planet for such disgusting creatures!" Pell thought.

Smileyman said:

"Ha Ha Ha Ha Soon you will all meet me in the afterlife. Once the last tick tocks it is all over for you!" He said to no one in particular.

"Now why did crocodile end with such an ominous tone?" Pell spoke to himself and continued in thought "This is bad, he was my last hope to find the King!" Pell focused again on the enemy in front of him "I have no interest in revenge but I cannot let such brutal pirates roam free." Pell spoke to himself again. He readied himself to attack once more but then the unexpected happened, it started raining.

Larsi said:

We are leaving now, and I suggest you do so too. You have bigger problems. I wonder how much of an accident it is that your country has experienced a drought for such a long time, according to my research, only for it to end when the man with the power of dryness is killed! He held up the lifeless body of Crocodile for a second, before lowering his arm again. Go save your people, and I will save mine. But if you choose to fight us, know that I have no restraints when someone holds me from protecting my comrades. He narrowed his eyes at the last, as if daring Pell to try it. Come Minuano, they need our help. Try calling them so that we can find them easier.

The giant turned, waiting for Minuano to leap atop his shoulder once more, before rushing off at a breakneck speed.

Pell silently listened but as the Giants, arrogant speech ended pell decided there was no way he was going to let the Giant walk away. "DO NOT FOR A SECOND THING YOU WILL GET AWAY UNPUNISHED OR THAT WILL ALLOW YOU TO HARM ANYBODY ELSE IN THIS COUNTRY!" Pell yelled but the Giant was so quick that before pell spoke he was already beyond earshot. "Bastards, I did not expect that. I should have focussed better." Pell thought. "I would have prefered to end this now but it would be a waste to follow after him now." Pell thought and then started running back towards Chaka "Let me go help and then we can go after the pirate together."


MR 1 and MDF: West block fight.

MDF crawled forwards with all her strength, she did not know where she intended to crawl towards but just wanted to get out of here. She, however, could not crawl very far before she saw the streets flooded with hoodlums. The injuries together with the incoming dread were too much for her and she passed out.

Ruffles said:

Musashi and co vs MDF and Mr 1

As MDF fell to the ground Musashi did as well, just a few steps away from her with his face towards where his comrades were gathered. He didn't have much left in him after taking on the previous attack from Mr 1 which had immobilized his arm with blood starting to gush out from the wound.

From his position he could see as Straw was charging straight for them and he could do nothing but admire him and his bravery but knew that it was foolish doing such a charge when he saw Mr 1 turning his feets into blades and awaiting Straw, and thus with his last bit of strength left, he shouted towards his comrades:

Straw-san fall back, this man is a DF user! and someone contact Minuano-senpai and make them aware of our situation!

Before passing out he looked towards MDF, hoping to see her dead but unfortunately she seemed to be still clinging to life just like him and crawling away from them all...as his eyes shut the ground started to tremble as if there was an uproar approaching them all...What's going on....!?

MR 1 was focussed on shielding himself from the onslaught and did n0t hear Musashi call out to his comrade nor did he see him give his last breath before losing consciousness.

West block fight.

It all happened way too fast. Eve can still see how Musashi was struggling with the girl while the guy was struck by the lighthing. What happened to her bullet? The only thing Eve could see was Musashi laying on the ground about to pass out. The woman was also laying on the ground. Is she dead? Did my bullet hit her? It only took Eve a couple of seconds to notice what happened to her bullet. The girl never got hit by the bullet, but it was Musashi that struck her.

It was straws dead body that caught her bullet. Anger was about to take over Eve. How can you do this, you bastard! You're going to pay for this. Eve was able to resist the anger. What looked like forever she stared at Straws dead body, tears in her eyes. She never expected the guy to make a rush at her after taking down Straw. She knew the guy was struck by her lighting, so she decided to try and dodge the guy and immediately hit him with the end of her rifle. As the guy was nearing she kneeled down and went forward to dodge him, at the same time she made an attempt to hit him with the rifle.

Eve easily came up again and immediately went to Yama.
Yama, I want you to do something. Be quick and grab the Den Den Straw was holding with him. Contact the captain once you have it. Tell him we're in a hurry and tell him the situation with the bomb.


At the same time as Eve spoke those words she felt the ground temble and a lot of noice coming her way. Shit, I have to hurry.. I have no idea what is happening in this City, but it feels like I am running out of time. Eve prepared her clima tact for a thunder ball. She was already out of time, a huge group of people came her way. Shit! Eve looked from one to another, first the guy and then the group of people. There was no time and while the clock was ticking she prepared her Clima tact. Charging up would only take a few second. Not long after the charge she unleased another Thunder tempo towards the people rushing at her. Secretly, she hoped the man would also get hit by hit, but first prio was to get the hell out of here.


Yama, we have to hide! Hurry up. Quickly Eve made a run towards Musashi, who already passed out. Lucky as she was she noticed that the woman from earlier tried to crawl away into a hole she made earlier. Eve decided to not go for her. In the end, before the woman was in her hole, Eve kicked her with her dirty boots, not knowing where exactly she was aiming. Loud thunder was the only thing she heard behind her. C'mon Musashi, don't give up on me now!.

I'm sorry Straw, I couldn't get your body. Is what Eve thought while getting herself and Musashi to safety.

Mr 1's right eye was blinded due to the blood from the cut above covering it, as such he did not see his opponent with the projectile weapon dodge him nor did he see the butt of her weapon coming for him, as such the attack landed without any resistance. Luckily it was not a very damaging blow.

Mr 1 stopped, shook his head to get rid of the pain and wiped the blood from his eye. He instantly found his opponent talking to another and rushed towards him. He turned his hands to blades, the sharpest he could and as he drew near he sliced towards his opponent. He opened both hands, raising them both towards his right with the sharp side pointing downwards towards his opponent and swung with all his strength intending to split the idiot in two.

Mr 2: Central Square

Dragomir said:

Drago was frantic as he pushed the woman to her side. His face was being rapidly covered in sweat as he was afraid to see the result. Please don't die. Not now... As the woman flipped to her back, revealing her face, Drago's mouth dropped, eyebrows raised and his eyes widened as he was thunderstruck by what he saw.

Huh? What Drago saw was the exact image of himself. Same nose, same hair, same everything. What the hell is this? This ain't the woman! This is me!

Drago curled his lips in disgust, the muscles in his cheeks moving to adjust. Get away from me! As the imposter Drago leaned in for a kiss, the real Drago jerked his head backwards, immediately after a knife him whooshed in front of his face. Trying to hit me huh? Alright you damn imposter. If it's a battle you want, it's a battle you'll get. Drago got on his toes and jumped backwards, landing delicately near Koujiro. Looks like you were right Koujiro. Drago couldn't muster to look up at his friend as he almost wanted to fight him over what was a supposed imposter. His eyes were cast down on the ground as he was ashamed about himself.

After what seemed to be a millenium Drago apologized. I'm sorry.

Mr 2 missed the sneaky swipe he attempted and as expected his opponent jumped backwards to evade any further attempt. Mr 2 attempted to rush forward towards Drago but he did not notice Koujiro aiming for him.

Larsi said:

Central Square

Koujiro hesitated for a second once he saw Drago's face in Drago's arms. In his moment of hesitation the real Drago managed to dodge the attack of the imposter, standing up and away. Pulling tne trigger twice, Koujiro aimed to bury two projectiles deep within his foe's chest, one on the right and one on the left. He would pause for a second, while waiting to see whether or not the imposter would dodge the bullets.


Koujiro absently nodded, opening his mouth to accept the apology, when he realized that there was a loud ruckus nearby, growing louder and louder. He turned his head to his right, looking down the street just in time. His eyes widened at the sight that rounded the corner. Hundreds, no thoussnds of soldiers rounded the corner, charging down the street towards them. They were mostly not trained soldiers. A militia perhaps. Without hesitation Koujiro pulled out his second gun from within his coat, firing 10 bullets in rapid fashion, each finding the forehead of an enemy, dropping them instantly. Yet it was nothing but a drop in a bucket. The ones that fell were trampled within a second, another taking their spot, the advance never even halted. Drago! Call the captain!

With that Koujiro holstered his gun, smoke still expelling from its barrel, before looking down at where the imposter had been a second ago. If he had not moved, Koujiro would run over and grab him, pulling him with him. If he had ran off, Koujiro would simply run off. His feet carried him much faster than the soldiers did, as he ran down the street, going west, making sure to not leave Drago behind.

The two bullets found their target blasting through Mr 2's chest, one finding the wound left by the knife and as such did not cause much more damage that didn't already exist, the other blew a hole straight through Mr1's other shoulder. It caught him completely off guard. For a person that relies on tricks and traps, the straightforward approach of his opponent found Mr 2 at a disadvantage. He fell forward and pulled his legs towards his upper body, putting himself in an infant position in an attempt to place pressure on his wounds but it was not enough and Mr 2 quickly started to lose consciousness but before he was gone he felt himself being dragged away.

Alubarna was on fire.

In this city of sand and stone, the blood of rebels and soldiers pooled in the streets. The rebellion roared and surged like a wild beast cut loose and untethered. A sizable chunk of the Rebel Army was made up of defectors from the Royal Guard, but still even more were merchant’s sons and daughters, generations of farmers and landowners—who after years of drought were left poor and hungry, but still…. bellow every surface there were greater depths. Bellow the surface of the class warfare that fueled this revolt, there was another beast lurking in the deep. Baroque Works’ ‘Operation Utopia’ had seeded countless Baroque Works spies and combatants within the Rebel Army to ensure that the violence bubbled to an inescapable head.

As Ex-Royal Guards squared off against Royal Guards and countrymen laid waste to fellow countrymen, there were those who navigated the battle for their country as though attending a funeral.

As previously innocent workers, who had never known a battlefield, cut down their fellow human beings and watched as their friends and loved ones were cut down beside them—it all felt like a bad dream. They dissociated themselves from the violence in order to survive it—in order to keep going, fueled by the fire of powers they might never understand.

All the while, behind the mask of desperate patriotism and survival, agents of Baroque Works smiled on the inside: “Finally, it is here! The country is ours! It is all going according to Sir Crocodile’s plan, and none of these idiots can stop us now!”

Smileyman said:

Chaka was holding his own but suddenly noticed a more organised attempt at his life when what could only be described as over 500 troops stormed him at one time, being left with no choice Chaka performed an urgent attack to relieve the pressure suddenly placed on him. He slashed his sword horizontally in such a manner that it sends out a crescent moon-like projectile mowing all in front of him.

A red mist sprayed out as if a massive wave had crashed upon a rocky shore, as Chaka's crescent slash hit a surge of Rebel Soldiers, mowing them down in an instant. One rebel soldier squinted in pain and confusion as their older brother's blood sprayed into their eyes and blinded them just long enough for the blade of a Royal Guard to find its way into their stomach. Another rebel soldier, who had defected from the Royal Army had felt uneasy going into this battle, but found new certainty and violent conviction at the sight of his former commanding officer laying waste to his new comrades.

The sound within the city walls was deafening. Nothing but thunder and steel. It was impossible to make heads or tails of the situation anymore. Why had this even started? Was this the only answer now?

As the fighting and killing went on, and more and more Rebels pushed past the Royal Guards defenses, the battle progressed to every part of the city. Any attempt at maintaining formation would be for not, as the wave of violence swept over the streets.

A wave of Rebel Soldiers converged upon a small group of combatants in the Western Block. They did not look to be members of the Royal Guard, but they were injured from a fresh fight, were they mercenaries hired out by the King? They were not dressed as Rebels and they did not appear to be from Alabasta.

A Baroque Works' spy among their ranks, wanting to keep the violence going, charged in toward the woman carrying a strange pole like weapon as a strange cloud spewed from its tip and lightning rained down from above them! The first 100 Rebels in the Vanguard group of 500 which had come upon the scene were all struck by the electricity and collapsed in smoldering heaps as a wave of shock and certainty flew across the minds of the remaining troops: these were their enemies.

400 Rebel Soldiers surround and attack MDF and MR.1 as another wave of 500 soldiers approaches from the South.

Yamamoto made his prayers before he run towards Straw's dead body which laying on the ground.

Upon reaching Straw, Yamamoto tooks the Den Den Mushi from him and put it on his pocket. He then wrapped Straw's dead body using his haori and tied it to his back.

"Don't worry my friend, there's no one will be left behind. We will go back to our comrades together."

As the man tied his comrades corpse to his back, he would rise to his feet and find that he and his nakama were now completely surrounded by rebels charging in to attack them with their swords!

Before the advancing group of Rebels could even blink, 10 gunshots rang out, and the first 10 among them fell over dead, gunshot wounds right between their eyes! Horror rang out among them and vengeance too as they pushed forward! As they did so, the unknown gunman and their comrades ran off faster than the soldiers could catch up to them and left the square uninhabited.

What was going on in this city? Where were the rest of the king's forces? Why was the palace seemingly unguarded?

As Koujiro and Drago ran down the street headed west, they would come across more Rebel soldiers in battle with the Royal Guard as the War which had begun in the South Block pushed out toward the rest of the city.

All Over Alubarna
As the battle raged on, no one would notice the subtle shift in light as the clouds formed overhead. No one would notice the sound of a faint rumble brewing in the heavens.

The first few droplets of water that fell to the ground went unnoticed as well, but what started as only a few drops of rain, soon become a torrential downpour in the streets.

As the rain fell, a wave of confusion set in among the Rebel forces, tears of joy spread across the faces of some, while others were too caught up in the fight now to truly register the implications of this rain that had been stolen from them for so long.

At least one farmer's son shouted in the crowd: "THE RAIN IS HERE! PUT DOWN YOUR ARMS! LET THE KILLING END!"
More than a few would not hear him over all the noise of war. More than a few would be killed in their moments of confusion....
At least one Baroque Works' spy shouted in the crowd: "ANOTHER TRICK OF THE KING'S! IT RAINS NOW OF ALL TIMES!?!? WHEN THE BATTLE IS ON OUR SIDE??? ANOTHER TRAP!!!! FIGHT ON MY BROTHERS!"
More than a few would not hear him either.

One thing was certain, nothing was resolved.
Where was the king?!

CENTRAL SQUARE
Khoza and his group made their way to the central square and met up with the group of rebels gathering there as the rain began to fall.

Khoza: "Wh--- rain?!?!" tears began to well up in Khoza's eyes.... what was the meaning of this?! Was this a ploy of the King's to try and confuse them? "What the hell is happening in this country!? COBRA WHAT ARE YOU UP TO!?!?!"

Drago ran, right behind Koujiro. Unsure of where they were going, he decided to follow Koujiro's lead without question. I've just witnessed the wisdom of Koujiro, he clearly knows better than me and I'm still ashamed of myself for my actions. It's best for me to just follow him even though I don't know where we're going. Let the wise man lead me!

Clashing noises got louder and louder as Drago ran. What's going on, is there a fight going on here? Koujiro didn't stop running so Drago decided not to as well until a road obstacle stopped both runners in their tracks. This was no regular road obstacle. It was a full blown battle between the men of Alabasta. What the hell? Drago was utterly confused at the sight. Blood was splattered everywhere. Clouds of smoke filled the air, thickest at the heat of the battle, but thinnest on the edges. Oi, oi, oi, Koujior...what's going on here.

And then it came, the most unexpected thing of all. Rain. A heavy shower came down imminently. Drago's hair began to wet and stick to his head already. Rain! I never thought I'd see rain in Alabasta of all places! Drago glanced up, while squinting to not get water in his eyes, he saw one large mass of darkness covering the sky with water droplets coming down from it. Drago smiled and spread his arms out. In front of him, the fighting began to die out as people finally noticed the rain.

As the man tied his comrades corpse to his back, he would rise to his feet and find that he and his nakama were now completely surrounded by rebels charging in to attack them with their swords!

After Yamamoto make sure that Straw's corpse are tied tightly to his back, he took the den den mushi from his pocket and calling to Minuano and his other friends.

"Here's Yamamoto speaking! I don't have much time so hear it carefully because I'll not going to repeat it! I'm not sure of what actually going on but it seems there is some kind of bombs implanted inside the city! And there's one more thing, Straw is dead while Musashi is heavily damaged and it seems we are about to be swarmed by another enemies. But don't worry about us, I'll try to hold them for as long as I could and I'll try to find a way out. I have to go now!", Yamamoto hurried and end the calls because as he were now completely surrounded by hundreds of armed people.

Anger, hostility, agony, pain, suffering, anguish, depression, disappointment, frustration, exhaustion, fatigue, hatred, hesitation, remorse, regret, sadness, and fear, Yamamoto could see all of this emotions mixed up in the face of the armed people who surrounds him.

Yamamoto has been too long and went in too many war in the past that just by the first glance he knows that these people are an oppressed and the 'low life' civilians that has suffered under the rules of the government and are now revolting. And Yamamoto knew that nothing can stop a man on this kind of state except they get what they want, that or a death.

Knowing that his friend's and his life are in an immediate danger, Yamamoto trying to think of any way for them to survive. And it was at this moment that Yamamoto remembers something in the past when he witnessed an event similar to this, in the time before he accidentally aboard the Silver Hair Pirate's ship, when he was on his journey to find his woman, an event that happened in the land very far far away called France, where the people are doing a revolt against their King.

In that revolt, Yamamoto could remember vividly a song that used to be sung by the people on their march.

"Well, what other choices do i have. . . ", Yamamoto then decided to give it a try to sing that song to the armed people in front on him, hoping that they would think that Yamamoto and his friends are also part of the revolutionary army.

Yamamoto started by humming then slowly began to sing.

"Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the songs of angry men?
It is the music of the people who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart echoes the beating of the drums,
There is a life about to start when tomorrow comes!", Yamamoto singing with a nervous smile on his face. But then he has made his resolve and now began to sing with a firm and strong voice. "Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Somewhere beyond the barricade is there a world you long to see?
Then join in the fight that will give you the right to be free!"

"Come on guys let's me hear you . . .!!!", Yamamoto trying to invite the people to sing along. By the looks on their face, Yamamoto was pretty sure that the armed people believe that Yamamoto was also part of them despite of his appearance.

"Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the songs of angry men?
It is the music of the people who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart echoes the beating of the drums,
There is a life about to start when tomorrow comes!
Will you give all you can give, so that our banner may advance?
Some will fall and some will live, will you stand up and take your chance?
The blood of the martyrs will water the me-... desert of Alubarna!", Yamamoto almost slipped and almost saying 'meadow of France!', but luckily he was thinking fast and change the lyrics.

As Yamamoto singing the song, a change happen in the atmosphere. The day had been scorching and the sky was like a dome of plasma-blue. The clouds had looked like airy anvils drifting under the gleaming disc of sun. The boiling cocktail-blue shade was beginning to darken into gravel-grey. Large pillows of cloud were forming, blotting out the old-gold colour of the sun. A tinkling sound came to Yamamoto's ears as the first pearls of rain dropped onto the roof. The sound was like the glassy clinking of a champagne flute, lilting and clear. A sheet of rain passed over Yamamoto and the rebels army.

"What . . .?! A sudden rain in the middle of a scorching day . . .?!", Yamamoto thought to himself, confused about what happens. Not only him, but the people is seems confused too by the sudden of rain and don't know what the should do with the revolution that has going on. But Yamamoto doesn't have time to think of that. He quickly began to sing even louder and trying to persuade the confused people to find the King.

"Come on o brave people of Alabasta, let's find your King and let us hear from his own mouth about all of this! So let's march on and sing along with me!

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the songs of angry men?
It is the music of the people who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart echoes the beating of the drums,
There is a life about to start when tomorrow comes..."

Chaka felt the continued assault was not only pointless but clearly against the wishes of the king but he could not leave his men to get slaughtered.

Out of frustration Chaka used an moved usually reserved for a target in the distance. In an instant without the need to stop attacking the rebels, he held his sword horizontally above his shoulders and then swung with a great amount of strength, sending compressed air spiraling forwards opening up a tunnel in front of him as the rebels got mowed down.


It suddenly started to rain.

"What is this? What is happening? WHERE IS THE KING!" He screamed in frustration and confusion. The moment he said it he knew it was a mistake. The soldiers closest to him was shocked and confused, opening themselves up to be killed.

Chaka did not want to leave his men but Pell was taking too long. Chaka left towards the direction Pell went. The King's life was most important.
