Grand Line – Paradise
Drum Island
Back to the fight in the castle, Aramaki, towering above everyone in his giant wooden golem form, green foliage on his head and shoulders, makes a giant wooden medieval sword appear with a quick hand movement, coating it with Advanced Armament Haki right after, before then disappearing from where he was using Soru.
Reacting instantly to the marine's movement, Zoro disappears from where he was using Soru.
The sonic booms from the movement of the two echo through the environment like a machine gun burst, the ground cracking and sinking wherever they passed, everything happening in a matter of microseconds. One moment they were in one place, and in the next, they reappear halfway through, sonic booms accompanying them, their attacks colliding, Aramaki delivering a descending vertical slash and Zoro meeting the attack with his three swords coated with Haki, the crash of the collision shaking the entire mountain and castle, neither overpowering the other, Zoro's muscles almost bursting to keep up with the titanic strength employed by the marine.
What follows after that are the two exchanging some blows, Zoro pushing his muscles beyond their limits to match Aramaki's strength, gigantic craters reshaping the terrain with each collision, the mountain and the castle trembling with every blow exchanged.
That whole brief exchange of blows lasted only a few moments; one moment, everyone was staring at each other, and in the next, the swordsman and the marine were trading blows, only for Zoro's muscles to falter momentarily at the end of this exchange.
Aramaki delivers an upward slash from bottom to top, his sword tearing through the ground like a knife through butter before colliding with Zoro's swords.
And then, a gigantic crash comes from the impact, everything shakes, icy howling winds violently sweeping through the environment.
And at that moment, Zoro's muscles falter slightly, and Aramaki, no longer seeing himself impeded, takes advantage of the sudden lapse, his strike continuing, completing the arc and sending the swordsman flying like a missile, on a collision course with the castle.
Zoro's body then crashes against the hard stones of one of the castle's towers, destroying everything in his path before stopping under the rubble of one of the tower's supporting pillars, many of which also gave way under his uncontrolled body, leaving the tower structure unstable, and not even a second later, the tower collapses on the swordsman, the entire castle trembling as part of its structure falls.
Throwing a large piece of rubble aside, Zoro emerges from under the debris, massaging his sore neck, gray dust clinging to his skin, dirt and blood mixed and stuck to his body.
"The girls are in the castle, dumbass lettuce head! What would've happened if the tower that collapsed was where they were, huh, idiot?", Sanji shouts angrily. The luck of this idiot is that the girls weren't there.
"But they weren't there, were they? So stop complaining, damn it! There was nothing I could do, what did you want me to do?", Zoro asks irritated, fuck, this shit waiter complains too much.
"I don't know, maybe don't demolish part of the castle with your body!", Sanji shouts, raising his arms, being sarcastic, it was obvious what this idiot should've done.
"Haha, very funny, fucking idiot! There's no way not to hit the castle eventually! We're too close, it's no use holding back when this hooker clearly won't, and we can't defeat him without going all out", Zoro lets out a dry laugh, mocking Sanji.
"Wow, and you used your two brain cells to think of all that? Impressive!", Sanji asks sarcastically. Is it possible for this guy to say something more obvious?
"Go fuck yourself, man! At least one of us is thinking of a plan to solve this problem", Zoro retorts, stepping out of the rubble and returning to the side of Chouchou and Sanji.
"Oh? And what's your plan, genius?", Sanji asks mockingly.
"I said I was thinking, not that I already had one", Zoro replies, a plan forming in his mind.
"Woof woof woof woof woof!" "We have to move the fight away from the castle!", Chouchou barks, giving an idea, forgetting that the two don't understand him.
"He said you guys have to find a way to move the fight away from the castle" "Chouchou gave the idea to move the fight away", Chopper and Luffy shout from where they were, translating what Chouchou said.
"You...", Chopper turns to Luffy surprised. Did he understand animals like him?
"There you go! The dog's smarter than you, fucking dumbass!", Sanji says laughing, mocking Zoro.
"What are you talking about, peanut? You're the only one here who hasn't done anything, didn't give an idea, didn't even think of anything!", Zoro asks mockingly, looking at the cook strangely. This idiot was the only one there who didn't give or even think of any idea.
"You...", Sanji opens his mouth to start cursing, but is cut off by Zoro before he can really start speaking.
"Enough talk! Chouchou, we'll clear a path for you, so use your body and weight to move this guy away from here", Zoro says, interrupting Sanji mid-sentence, passing the plan he just thought of to both of them.
In the short minutes this conversation took place, Aramaki, not caring at all about what was happening with these idiots, drives his sword into the ground before then extending his free arm, only for in the next instant, a tsunami of gigantic-proportions clones to burst from his arm, like a dam opening its floodgates, an apparently infinite mass of bodies falling upon them.
Seeing the sea of clones darken the sky, Zoro steps forward and says, "Get ready, Chouchou!"
And then, crossing his arms in X while contracting all the upper muscles of his body, Zoro mutters "Nitoryu: Nanajuni Pound Ho!!" before attacking, swinging his arms down like a whip, two flying slashes in an X shape shooting from his swords and slicing through the sea of clones without resistance, like a hot knife through butter, before then hitting Aramaki's extended giant arm with a crash, splitting it into four strips.
Aramaki staggers backward, his arm cut into four strips quickly rejoining and regenerating.
Taking advantage of this opening, while Aramaki staggered backward, Chouchou disappears from where he was, charging up toward the marine using Soru.
Passing through the sea of cut clones slowly falling from the sky, the time passing slowly, Chouchou tries to bite Aramaki and push him away from the mountain using his momentum and weight.
Narrowly dodging Chouchou's bite attempt, Aramaki grabs the giant wolf by the neck with the same arm that just regenerated, thick vines extending from his fingers, wrapping Chouchou like a snake.
The marine then exerts an enormous force, throwing Chouchou backward, exactly where the sea of shattered clones was falling.
As soon as Chouchou is completely submerged in the sea of clones, those who were still intact cling to his fur, releasing a huge cloud of dense purple pollen.
Meanwhile, almost instantly, the pieces of the cut clones rapidly swell, glowing intensely yellow before exploding in flames.
The fire ignites the purple pollen instantly, causing an explosion of colossal proportions, and from the explosion, Chouchou is launched out like a smoking missile, his giant body on a collision course with the castle.
"Shit!", Zoro curses before disappearing from where he was, going to prevent Chouchou from colliding with the castle.
"Fuc...!!", just as Sanji was about to go help stop Chouchou too, a glimpse of the future hits him, making him curse, and in the next instant, a giant sword appears just above in the sky, coming down on him like a meteor, slicing through the air violently.
"Let me handle this, Sanji! Just dodge", seeing Sanji turning his head toward Chopper, who would be hit by Aramaki's sword if no one did anything, Luffy yells from the top of the tower where he was, driving the flagpole into the rubble of the tower's roof before then disappearing from where he was using Soru and Geppo, appearing in front of Chopper.
Having another glimpse of the future, Sanji quickly gets out from under the attack and instead of going to help stop Chouchou's body, he charges up toward Aramaki using Soru, his body blurring before disappearing, a burst of sonic booms echoing thunderously, the ground cracking, rocks flying backward.
At the same time that Sanji dodges and charges at Aramaki, Luffy appears in front of Chopper at the exact moment the marine's sword was about to hit the little reindeer.
The giant sword, coated with Advanced Armament Haki, descending upon the earth like a moon on a collision course with the planetary surface of a celestial body, is suddenly stopped from hitting the ground, the abrupt halt causing the air to shift violently, snow, dust, and stones being ripped from the ground with force, cold winds scratching against Chopper's skin, the castle windows trembling from the relentless winds, further alarming the people inside.
In front of Chopper, Luffy, with one arm extended, easily held the sharp giant wooden blade with his hand, his fingers effortlessly embedded in the surface of the sword, microfractures forming in the muscles of his forearm due to the Advanced Armament Haki imbued in the sword, it was as if he had just done a forearm-focused workout, the tattoo on his back proudly visible to the little reindeer, who stared at it fixedly, the skull wearing a Straw Hat with crossed bones smiling broadly at him "Shishishishishi! Too weak!"
Laughing, Luffy pushes the sword back with force, hurling the giant blade away like a missile, ripping it from Aramaki's hand by force, throwing him off balance with the sudden and violent movement.
Meanwhile, Chouchou quickly recovers from the explosion and throws himself back to the ground using Geppo, a giant crater forming with his landing, the ground trembling.
"You good?", Zoro asks, stopping mid-step.
"Woof woof, woof woof woof woof!" "I'm good, it was just a scratch!", Chouchou barks positively, his white fur covered in dust and ash, smoke emanating from his wounded body.
"I guess so, then! Let's go, this time it's gonna work!", seeing that Chouchou seemed okay, Zoro says, turning around at the exact moment the marine's sword is launched far away.
He then places Wado in his mouth before disappearing from where he was using Soru, with Chouchou following his lead, the image of their bodies blurring before vanishing, sonic booms accompanying their movements, the ground cracking and trembling, the air moving violently.
Looking like a mass of plasma moving through time and space, Sanji jumps upon nearing the giant wooden golem, shooting up toward the marine's face using Geppo and Soru, incandescent flames exploding from his legs mid-air.
Murmuring "Diable Jambe: Brochette de Barbecue!!", Sanji spins his body in mid-air, landing a flaming flying kick squarely on the marine's face, Aramaki's head being thrown back violently, throwing him even more off balance, the scorching flames of his kick completely engulfing the head of the giant wooden golem, the fire crackling deafeningly, seeming to scream like furious demons.
Not even giving Aramaki a chance to recover, Zoro, looking like a mass of plasma moving through space, his steps cracking the ground beneath him, murmurs "Santoryu Ogi: ...", coating his swords with Haki and getting into position, spinning Sandai and Yubashiri like a fan "... Ichidai Sanzen...", and then, striking as he gets close enough, his three swords completely cut off one of the colossal legs of the wooden golem "... Daisen Sekai!!"
Now completely off balance, Aramaki is at Chouchou's mercy, who appears in front of him at supersonic speed.
At the same time, Chouchou, his titanic body looking a mass of incandescent plasma due to the speed at which he was running, "Woof Woof!!" "Titanic Bite!!", barks before opening his mouth wide, his jaws closing around the marine's neck with titanic force.
With Aramaki trapped in his powerful jaws, Chouchou uses his titanic weight, colossal strength, and the momentum from his previous charge to hurl himself off the mountain, dragging the marine with him, successfully taking the fight away from the castle with success.
=Scene Break=
Meanwhile, going back a bit in time, in the middle of the sea, passing near Drum, Vice Admiral Garp's ship sailed smoothly through the region's icy waters.
"Nine hundred and ninety-nine, one thousand! You two have one minute to rest before we move on to the next set of a thousand", wearing a gray suit, a matching gray fedora hat covering his gaze, and a white Marine overcoat draped loosely over his shoulders, a man says, his hand resting on the hilt of the sword at his waist.
In front of him, sprawled on the ground, sweating profusely, every muscle in their bodies screaming in pain, were Coby and Helmeppo, gasping from the nineteenth set of push-ups of the day, and there were still a bunch of exercises left to complete the morning's physical training. In the afternoon, they would have combat training, and at night, theoretical training.
And at this moment, while the two Chore Boys groan in pain and exhaustion on the deck floor, a monstrously strong pulse of Conqueror's Haki passes by the ship, knocking out most of the crew. On the ground, Coby remains conscious while Helmeppo foams at the mouth, unconscious.
"S... sir?", Coby exclaims in concern, trying to stand up.
Looking in the direction from which the pulse came, not long after, a giant wooden sword, coated with Armament Haki, flies in an arc, on a collision course with the ship. The man in the suit then calmly walks to the edge of the ship, unbuttoning the cuff of one sleeve of his dress shirt, his fist darkening along the way, coated with Armament Haki.
And as soon as the sword reaches at his range, almost piercing the ship, the man swings his Haki-coated arm casually, punching the sword to the side, deflecting it away from the ship, which ends up rocking with the waves caused by the blade's fall into the sea.
"Bogard!!", Coming out to the deck, Garp, munching on a rice cracker, calls his right-hand man.
"What are your orders, Sir?", the man in the suit, now known as Bogard, asks, buttoning back his cufflink.
"Wake up the men and change course toward the direction from where that pulse of Conqueror's Haki came, let's see what my troublemaker grandson is up to", Garp says with a smile, grabbing another rice cracker from the package he was holding.
"Drum Island is in that direction, Sir! It'll take an hour or more to get there", Bogard quickly deduces, informing Garp.
"Grandson? Are you talking about Luffy, Sir Garp?", Coby asks, standing up with extreme difficulty. Was what happened before caused by Luffy?
"Bwahahahahaha! That's right, Coby! Let's put those troublemaker brats to run!!", laughing heartily, crumbs flying everywhere, Garp says with a smile, giving Coby a hard slap on the back, knocking him back down to the ground.
