Chapter 20::Time for Hell
(AN: I apologize beforehand for the crappy chapty TWENTY! It's the spring and my allergies are acting up, so I feel like shit, I cant think straight (let alone see) I can hardly breath and my brain is producing mush, while I cough and sneeze my insides out. Be nice tot the chappie and don't judge the work, it's the damn spring air.
But please, tell me if this's bertter or worst, like just the work in general. It would be funy if my writings better when im sick.)

%Narrator%
The Straw Hats had spilt up, each (unknowingly) to their destined opponent. Monkey D. Luffy is unknowingly running straight into Witch's trap, Roronoa Zoro is facing off Sterling in the lower construction zone, Sanji is running through the first level, searching desperately for the girls, Usopp, Nami, and Robin are facing the Tsuru Army, Chopper is stuck in the ventilation system, and Rhythm is battling Sapphire in the lower weapons room.
And throughout all this, Witch's plan is about to take action. A tourist ship is approaching the island from the east, while eight marine vessels are approaching from the west. Witch's weapon is almost complete, and if his plan plays out correctly, the world will be in his lap.
The Mugiwara's actions are timed, leaving them four hours before the vessels and tourist ship lands on Tomoni Island. Two before the weapon is complete, and a half hour before Captain Witch will become Princess Amaya's husband.
In the Princess's bedroom, she is being fitted into her wedding gown. A ling, silvery white  zcho no kinei dress with a long train and a gossamer veil to hide her face. The top of the dress was a halter, cutting down just below her perfect breasts and had a gossamer sleeves and under shirt, the hems decorated with silver beads and a tiny tiara sat atop her head. A bouquet of  zcho no kinei reds, oranges, yellows, pinks, whites, and golds held together with a silver ribbon that trailed down to her knees when held at her waist shivered nervously in her pale, graceful hands. In the little skin that was shown, there was not a single flaw that marred her flesh, instead it was a smooth ivory expanse that seemed to radiate its own glory. Amaya's nurse adjusted slipped dainty silver and white slippers onto her feet, hands shaking and old face pale.
"Princess, you must not go through with this-" the nurse started.
Amaya held up her hand, silencing the nurse," No. It's to help the people. If I don't, who knows what he'll do to the Tomonians, ja? Especially my father."
The old nurse bit her lip, mismatching eyes wet with sadness, "Honey, I don't know if-"
"No! He's not gone, ja!" her bell voice snapped, "I refuse to listen to such rubbish, ja! I will take him down, from the inside, ja. I will not have him rule the world as he did to Tomoni, ja!"
The nurse soften. "Okay. Let's just do the finishing touches and then we'll talk about that later, dear."

$Nami$

The man under the mask was not a man at all, but some sort of . . . monster.
Usopp screamed and almost fainted, Robin gasped in shock, and I gaped, to shocked and scared for words.
He had a head, humanly shaped, yes. But there was no flesh, muscle, bones, anything. Instead it was twisting vines in the shape of a head, no features except a wide gaping hole where its mouth should be. The vines twisted and curdled, as though it were restless snakes. The "mouth" was lined with sharp bits of metal, making it look like some grotesque leach.
I couldn't move. That . . . thing seemed like it was staring at me.
"Like them? It's Captain Witch's greatest creation." A female voice said from behind. We turned to see the soldiers parting, revealing the woman, Miss Jasminez.
"A great addition to our team, don't you think?" We whirled around again to see a short man with black, sleeked back hair and mismatching eyes, one a very pale blue, the other a deep black. He wore a black suit like Sanji, except with a black tie, silver vest, and black shirt. The Vine Pirates Jolly Roger was a simple circle with a creepy smiley face and a vine-like curl coming from its side, eight in all.
"The intruders don't seem very happy, huh Saito?" Miss Jasminez added.
"No, let's deepen that frown of theirs," the guy, Saito laughed. He tossed a furry object into Usopp's arms.
"Chopper!" Usopp cried.
He was limp and bleeding, his face swelling twice its normal size and a strange gurgling sound came from his mouth.
"Usopp," He mumbled, "To many of them. Get Zoro . . ."
"Usopp, get Chopper out of here!" I yelled, raising my clima-tact.
"Lahlahlahla~h!" Miss Jasminez laughed, "Oh don't worry; I'm a doctor. I'll take care of your sweet little taniku for you."

<Sanji>

I crashed through another wall, looking forward, left, right, up, down, then running across the room and smashing through the other wall. The same pattern repeated for another three rooms until I reached a large, stone corridor with none other than.
"Robin-chan!" I cried out. She struggled to her feet, blood dripping from her scalp and down the side of her perfect face. I ran over and helped her up, pulling out a handkerchief and started dabbing away at the blood.
"Cook-san, it's okay." She smiled and pulled my hand away.
"Robin-chwan, your hurt! What kind of man am I to let a lady get hurt in anyway? Let me at least help you."
She just smiled and pulled my arm away. I wouldn't be fooled, that smile didn't touch her beautiful eyes.
"Wait, Robin-chan, what happened to everyone?" I asked, pocketing my handkerchief.
"Miss Jasminez tried taking Chopper from Usopp, who ran away. Saito went after him, and then she decided to attack Nami. They disappeared which left me with the Tsuru Army. I don't know where Captain-san, Swordsman-san, and Rhythm-san went off to."  She explained.
I nodded, "I'll take down whoever did this to you." I said, indicating the wound on her head.
"Cook-san, it's no problem-" she cut off and her dark eyes widen, "But, may I borrow your lighter?"
"My . . ." I pulled out the silver rectangle. "This? May I ask what for?"
"Oh, just an idea," she smiled as she took the lighter and jogged, no danced off.
I shook my head, "Bye Robin-chwa~n <3! Don't get hu~rt <3"
She waved that off as she rounded the corner and out of sight. I sighed.
Just at that moment,  something below the ground shook the very foundation of the castle, sending bits of the ceiling to rain down on me.
"What the hell?" I wondered. Probably just an earthquake . . .

~~

XZoroX

I slammed through the heavy wooden door and into a clearing. Before I could get up and  strike back, cold steal was pressed against my throat and a warm body sat on my hips.
"Urm~ Those screams!" The sick bastard moaned. "I can feel that body, and I like it! I want you, Roronoa, and not just you're bounty," he leaned down and whispered, cold breath tickling my ear, "I want your body as my own to." His tongue flicked out and made its way up my ear.
Yes, this is exactly how I planned my vacation to go. Get caught in some shit, kiss a girl I hardly know, and now I'm being tongued by some creep. Wonderful . . .
"Gerroff me!" I yelled, slamming the butt of my sword into the side of his head.
"Ow!" he rubbed the spot I hit him. I rolled away and got to my feet.
"Now Mr. Hottie, don't get your panties in a bunch." He licked his lips
"Shut up and fight me already!" I yelled.
"Oh you wanted to fight the entire time? Okay . . ." he raised his sword in a horizontal line across his chest and put his other hand over the blade. "Then I'll show you some new tricks. Behold, Arashi no Yami, a sword known for its brutal strength and unimaginable power. Now taste it's blade as I slice through your flesh. Scream for me Roronoa Zoro!"
"Like hell!" I put Wado Ichimonji in my mouth, drawing Sandai Kitetsu with my left hand and holding  Yubashiri in my right, a full out Santoryu.
"Ooh! Full out already?" he smacked his lips. "Then so will I."
I lunged before he could utter a word from his mouth, slashing him with an Onigiri (not literally, Rhythm. Knowing you, you'd find a way to do so).
But that sly bastard slithered away from my blades, jumping back in a full backflip like some sort of monkey.
"So sorry; not yet. I would like to feel your blade, just not until you feel mine!" he licked his pale lips, pale eyes wide and delusional.
"Che!" I growled.
"Ryū," Sterling started. He spun the blade horizontally above his head, creating a strong wind, "no Su*!" he lashed out. The blade spun from his hands and right to my chest. I blocked it with my swords, feeling the immense strength built up behind that attack. And it needed a release.
Crossing blades, I knew what he can do. And it was a hell of a lot more than I first thought he can do.
We jumped back, and attacked again.
"Hyakuhachi Pound Ho *!"
"Tengoku no Kōka*!"
Blades clashed again, this time mixed with crimson as we shot past each other.
It wasn't him. It was me.
It was just a small wound on my right bicep, barely scraping the flesh.
"I can feel you power. So I'll show you one of my favorite moves." Sterling spun around and pulled something from his pocket. A lighter.
"Tōsuto o," He started. He flicked the lighter on and crouched down, swiping it across its blade. It caught fire as he spun a graceful arc towards me and yelled, "Tsukuru*!"
This guy truly is insane. I tried dodging, but the fiery blade caught my side and ripped through the flesh, getting cut deeply and burned at the same time.
I yelled out and clutched my side, dropping Yubashiri to the dirt ground. The smell of burning clothes, flesh, and fabric reached my nose.
"Feel the burn, Roronoa-kun? That's nothing I felt in the fiery pits of Impel Down!" He laughed. "My bounty's 120,000,000 beli! And yours is a puny 60,000,000 beli! Who do you think will win this fight, Roronoa? 120 million? Or 60 million?"
"Shut up!" I yelled. I jumped up and attacked. "Hyo Kin Dama*!"
I spun past him, feeling my blades slicing through his flesh.
He gagged on the blood rising in his throat as some splattered onto the ground and my shirt, a sizable wound now on his stomach.
"Shit!" he yelled. "I let my guard down!"
"Yeah, no shit Sherlock." I grinned darkly.
"I can feel you grinning," he coughed a whirled around, his blade still flaming.
"Satan no sen no kotoba*!"  He flew at me, his blade seemed to be copied into thousands of flaming swords.
Unable to read the attack properly, I just dodged, only for my forehead to get cut and burned. I hissed between my teeth as Sterling flew past me, cutting down a couple trees and setting the few around him on fire.
A paper that had fallen from his inner vest pocket, folded and worn. I picked it up, the old paper that was probably a few years old was crisp like autumn leaves in my fingers, as though about to fall apart at any second. I unfolded it.
My eyes widen as my heart skipped a beat, the fire slowly growing to a roaring flame behind Sterling.

~~

*Luffy*

I broke through the door, not wanting to bother with the heavy lock. A stone stairway led up to . . . I don't know where. I ran as hard and as fast as I could, breaking a couple steps on the way.
I need to find Witch so I can beat him up for what he did to this country. The people were in tears, blood and dirt staining their skin, infants dead, elderly and sick deceased, and the rest, unable to do anything as their loved ones died around them, nothing but harvest metals and melt them in the volcano. All of this so damn Witch could marry the princess and take down the government.
How I knew? My gut I guess.
"Wiiiiiitchhh~~~~!" I yelled. "come on out and fight me like a man!"
He didn't respond. Of course he didn't.

~~

&Usopp&

I tripped and broke my nose. Sometimes I really hate it.
"Usopp!" Chopper gasped as bounced away.
"Chopper!" Saito scooped up the tiny reindeer doctor and held him up.
"Aren't you just the cutest?" he tickled Chopper under his chin.
"Stop that, dummy! I'm a man!" Chopper gushed.
"Namari Boshi*!" I fired.
The Lead Star hit Saito between the eyes. His head disappeared in a strange pearly smoke, along with the rest of his body. Chopper fell to the ground with a squeak.
"Huh?" I wondered.
A pair of arms wrapped around my neck.
I choked as Saito said, "Wrong one. Try again."
My eyes widen. Chopper cried out as he was grabbed too.
There were two Saitos. Another one stepped out, then another.
"What are you? Quadruplets?" I gasped.
"No, I ate the Kurōn-Kurōn no Mi. I'm a cloning man. I can make copies of myself and others appear at my will, as long as they're in my sight." He grinned. "You can't win."
I struggled. "Release me! I, the great Captain Usopp has 8000 strong men at my command! I will take you on!"
Saito chuckled, "8000? I'll match them with my clones. I'll make 10000 copies then!"
I gulped.
"Usopp," Chopper gasped, the other Saito's arms tightened round Choppers throat.
I slipped my hand into my bag and pulled out-
"Usopp Wagomu*!" I hit the Saito holding Chopper, causing him to once again to fall and the Saito holding me to flinch. I took that chance and rolled out of his arms, grabbing Chopper and running as fast as I could.
"You can't get away!" Saito yelled. "Clone Walk!"
What happened next was hard to describe (AN: no im serious, I see it in my mind, but I cant seem to word it properly). Saito ran after us, the real one while the clones disappeared into a whirl of pearly smoke. Then ten feet in front of him, a clone appeared, running after us at full tilt. And in front of that, another one appeared ten feet closer. A chain reaction, one clone in front of the other. It was getting harder and harder to get away, even while running as fast as I could with Chopper riding on my head.
"If this is a nightmare, please! Wake me up!" I cried out.

~~

<Sanji>

I was on the main floor, running full tilt across a large room. Judging by the smell and tables, this was the banquet hall. A set of doors, which must lead to the kitchen, stood open ajar. I kicked it open the rest of the way and found myself in a large, empty kitchen. The dirty dishes floated in filthy water, while the mess from the meal before still lay scattered across the counter. A dirty pot sat on a stove, while the air was filled with the smell of dirty water and cold curry. The ones large and very impressive stainless steel and marble kitchen was now absolutely filthy, with knife slashes cut through everything. Pots, pans, and other cooking equipment was strewn across every flat surface while bits of food was sticking to everything. It made me want to gag at the sight, mold growing on most of it. I couldn't believe a chef in a palace would keep their kitchen in such a state! It was absolutely unsanitary!
The door behind me closed, and I was face to face to, what appears to be, the head chef.
"If my information is correct, you're Sanji, the cook for the Straw Hat pirates." A tall man with a braided blonde beard and a top hat stated.
"I'm guessing this is your kitchen," I narrowed my eye(s).
"This isn't my actual kitchen, that's back on the ship. This is simply what I use for now." He said. The waist apron he wore over his wool slacks and red button up shirt was splattered with stains of all sorts, no longer white in anyway.
"So you disrespect another cook's kitchen? And you call yourself a chef," I spat.
He tsked, " Well, Mr. Sanji. Fight me then. 'Proud Cook' Clanford of the Vine Pirates versus Sanji of the Straw Hat Pirates."

~~

$Nami$

Miss Jasminez striked again. The whip tore the muscles of my calf. I fell to the ground, Clima-Tact rolling away from my reach.
"Ow ow owow!" I complained, dabbing at the wound.
The whip snaked out and wrapped around my arm, tightening and making welts into the soft flesh there.
"You're a weak little flower, aren't you?  More like a daisy than a rose. Too delicate to defend yourself and too common for men to pick for his love." Miss Jasminez snarled.
"You know, you're not pretty at all when you do that!" I spat.
"Such painful words from a beauty like you. All looks, no guts." She shook her head as she grabbed me by my hair and dragged me forward. "Now your captain. Mmm~ strong and good looking. When this is all over and Witch gets what he wants, I am so taking Luffy-chin for myself."
My eyes widen. No . . .
Anger clouded logical thinking and I lashed out, slapping Miss Jasminez across her bitchy, oh-so-perfect face. That caused her to release me.
I quickly unraveled the coiled whip from my arm and ran as hard as I could after the Clima-Tact.
"Oh no you didn't!" (AN: oh yes I di-id!) Miss Jasminez screeched.
Talk about self-centered.

#Robin#

The soldiers ran after me, weapons raised and ready to skewer me with their spears and swords. A volley of arrows landed where I was just a second ago. Looking up, I saw a line of archers on the roof, bows drawn and arrows loaded.
I stopped, digging my heels intot he ground and crossing my arms, "Veinte Fleur," Arms appeared on the shoulders of the Tsuru soldiers, "Clutch*!" Their heads snapped back.
No result. I drew back the hands. They have to have a weakness, and I only hope this works.
Ten were on the roof, aiming arrows at me, thirty was coming at me from behind while another ten were coming at me in front. I had only one, but I can sprout limbs anywhere I want.
This was all or nothing.

*Luffy*

I burst through the doors at the top of the staircase to find myself on the roof of the castle. The man, Witch stood with a woman in a white dress, a dirty, shivering man with a book in his hand stood between the two.
"OI! WITCH YOU BASTARD!" I yelled out, "FIGHT ME LIKE A MAN!"
Witch turned and sighed, "Can this wait a few minutes? We're almost to the sealing kiss. And I wanted a full, uninterrupted ceremony . . ."
I looked at him confused. "Eh?" I cocked my head to the side.
"Just sit down and wait. I'll fight you when I'm done. This is an important step for my future."
"Oh, okay." I plopped down on the ground and crossed my legs.
The woman he was with was shaking too. The veil that covered her face quivered as were the native flowers in her hands. I sat and stared off as I picked my nose, searching for something good.
"And do you, Captain Witch of the Vine Pirates, take Princess Amaya Tōnichi Daiyamondo Tomoni to be your wife?"
(AN so corny . . .)
"I do," Witch grinned.
"And do you, Princess Amaya Tōnichi Daiyamondo Tomoni, take Captain Witch of the Vine Pirates to be your husband?"
(AN: I don't remember how it goes, so lets just put this.)
She in took a breath to respond, when I realized.
"Oi! Stop!" I got to my feet, "This is part of your plan, huh?"
Witch sighed, "Yes, Luffy. Now quite down so I can rule the world!"
"No! Gumu-Gumo no~" I flung back my arm.
"Wait, you can stretch?!"  Witch's eyes widen.
"Pistol~!" My fist shot forward, going for Witch's stomach. The guy with the book grabbed the woman and got out of the way, right when my fist would impact Witch.
But it didn't. Vines wrapped around my wrist and hand, engulfing it. It didn't even touch him.
"W-wait!" I grabbed my arm and tried pulling it back, but the vines just tightened and started to wrap its way up my arm. I tried running back, extending my arm but only having it wrap faster and tighter. It tickled when it reached my body, finally pulling me forward into his grasp.
"Straw Hat Luffy; nothing but a bee sting in the bear, eh? No. Stop interrupting and die!" Vines twisted up my body and around my neck, lifting me off the ground in the process.
"No hope for the Straw Hats, no dreams for these people. I crushed them all. This is an example to my future kingdom. Don't mess with me, bastard."
Witch grinned. Vines writhed and slithered across the roof, grabbing the princess by the ankles and pushing the man off to his death. Splotches danced across my vision as I struggled.
"Oh, I'll have your head, get yours, Roronoa's and Rhythm's bounties and heads. I'll move higher and get the Yonka, too. Now how about you go to hell, eh?"

next: [link]

EDIT: i was looking through this again, to find any more terrible mistakes and i found one.
yeah you know 'Clone Walk'? i thought it sounded really cool and creative at the time, and then i realized why it sounded so cool. i was looking at sanjis attack list on his wikia page and io say blue walk, and im all "huh, i uncociously took one of sanji's cool moves and had this bastard use its name. im 'smart'" so appoliques if anyone dont like it.

personnally. i think it nstill sounds pretty cool and creative after finsing this out.

oh and one more thing, the next chappie wil most likely be late, becaus eim stressed with school stuff, behind on decent art, and my mom's taking my laptop. i just stole it from her to "check an e-mail from my teacher" to write this (and check my mesages, write a bit of PH, the norm)..... i did check the email though.
