One Piece: The Hunt

Swordsmen: Ah ah...I see you aren't a coward at least...

"And with that, he darts forward using the ominous looking sword to slash at Tizen, with very little technique but immense force and speed

----

"Meanwhile, as the 3 pirates are leading their respective squads, something blows several soldiers flying in the distance, and rises up, showing itself to be a giant mecha, similar to the one Roshu had only much more advance
https://i.servimg.com/u/f69/13/49/57/08/sample17.jpg (see robot in pic)"

Toshi: What is it with us and robots...

"Toshi darts forward, and arrive at the base of it, readies himself and"

Toshi: 180 Sky Missile KICK!

"Jumps up and delivers is strongest full 180 degrees kick straight into the giant's chin"

"However, nothing happens and it doesn't even move, with Toshi falling and grabbing his leg"

Toshi: Wha...not even a scratch! And my leg

"And before he can defend himself, he's punched and sent flying"
----

*Toroi fly's up to the robot, his leaving a firy trail behind him.*

Toroi: Lets try some heat on this thing. Fire Fist.

*Igniting his fists in flames, he pushes the robot in the head, expecting the neat to be enough to weaken the steel.*

..........................................

*Tizen makes a quick side step, then quickly slashes at the foe with a slice which will take his head off if connected.*

"The swordsmen easily defends the blow, and then at great speeds aims at Tizen's shoulder. He blocks and both of them take a breather"

Swordsmen: You can't beat me...not this sword...not this sword. Nobody can beat me...I wont die...I wont...

----

"Toroi's Fire Fist does absolutely nothing, and suddenly, the robot aims his hands at Toroi and fires a huge laser"

"Meanwhile, Konoro has run up to Toshi, when he looks back and sees another of the giant mechas"

Konoro: What the hell...

"At the castle gates, Wayder and Yata are seen, Wayder seemingly focusing on something"

Yata: I can't believe their bad luck. Attacking while we happened to be here. Wayder make sure your mechas destroys them
Wayder: Don't talk to me right now, I'm focusing here. There's a pair of of strong fighters on their side. One of them is using a fire based attacked that's actually affecting the mecha somewhat
Yata: Oh your contraptions are useless. I'll get to this

"Yata speeds towards the battlefield

Tizen: Buddy, I want to be the best as much as anyone. But no one is immortal.

*Tizen dashes forward again clashing with his opponent.*

Tizen: You believes can get you killed.

*They both push apart again, then Tizen takes out his second sword.*

..........................................

Toroi used a wave of fire to block the attack, getting pushed back a bit before he can jump to the side*

Toroi: So your a tough one. EVERYONE STAND BACK!!
Konoro: What's he...
Toshi: You remember the last battle... yea.
Toroi: FIRE DOME!!!

*The attack happens quick, almost like a explosion as the mecha and surrounding area is consumed by a dome of pure raging fire.*

"Meanwhile, something else has risen to fight the other mecha. A golem like knight similar to the ones that they had seen on the previously battle, only much larger. Raila appears to be the one summoning it"

Konoro: Wait she's here too...and what the hell is she doing

"A medic comes out to help Toshi"

Konoro: Hm...excuse me but
Medic: That is the reason we can even match these things. Our magi are experts in golem creation. The name of the battle division of the Council is Golemkur.
Konoro: Woah
Medic: He took one hell of a hit...still he's

"And just then. Toshi wakes up"

Toshi: FUCK THAT HURT!!!
Konoro: about time. You even forced a medic to come over, seriously. Come on, we need to go help the fire head

"As the dust clears on the fire dome, we see that the mecha it attacked has it's armor melted off, but it's still working"

Toshi: Out of the way!!

"Toshi gets up and darts forward ignoring the pain, and jumping up to the mecha's head"

Toshi: ROCKET KICK!

"He spins and performs a wheel kick that damages the exposed mecha's inner workings, sending it toppling to the ground"

"He lands somewhat badly, with Toroi by his side"

Toshi: Nice work...but don't let up, there's still 2 left.

----

Elen: Tizen! Just take him out

Swordsmen: You don't understand...this sword...but I'll be different. I wont die. I wont let the Kitetsu kill me...oh no...not me. Not the nidai. It wont kill me...

"The swordsmen blocks the second blow as well, and then aims a slash straight at the neck"

*Tizen ducks the slash and slashes himself. As the swordsmen jumps it Tizen aims a air slice at him. He also darts forward to attack the swordsmen while he lands.*

....................................

Toroi: Great... You don't seem in top condition, maybe your friend should take your place.

Toshi: I'm fine...lets just go

"Konoro meanwhile is stuck back defending the entering line. The other mecha is still fighting the huge golem"

"The other one starts advancing"

Toshi: pull off another one of those...

---

"The man manages to stop the first slash, but as he lands"

"The only thing that's seen is blood splattering, as the man's impaled in Tizen's katana"

Swordsmen: No...not this...the nidai kitetsu...I though
Tizen: The...the cursed blade of the great smith Kitetsu...is this what this is
Swordsmen: And...it's yours now...you're stuck with the curse. Good luck

"The swordsmen pulls himself off Tizen's blade and looses consciousness almost immediately"

Elen: Whoa...does that mean that sword is good?

Tizen: Yes. I've never been one to believe the curses myself. If you get into the mind set of having bad luck, curses, etc. Then, you WILL die.

..............................................

Toroi: You ask for it, you got it.

*Toroi fly's up to the approaching Mecha.*

Toroi: Lets do it.

*And with that another fire dome is set into motion, consuming the mecha in flames like the last one.*

Elen: Are you taking that? Either way, hurry! We've wasted enough time!!

---

"As the mecha erupts in smoke, Toshi follows in and"

Toshi: AUTO SHOT!!

"Flying towards it with both heads, he starts delivering kicks at such speeds with both that he eventually makes a hole right through the mecha. As he does, suddenly, Yata is above him, with one of his swords, a somewhat weird katana which gets winder at the top and no handle, aiming at him"

Toshi: MISSILE STRIKE!

"He performs the a kick at an angle, his still hot legs from the robot providing his kick with an extra boost"

Toshi: Damn

"But it's not enough, as the man withdraws another sword, also somewhat intricate http://www.trueswords.com/images/prod/c/anime_blood_sword_540.jpg and slashing Toshi. Toshi uses his other leg to match the kick, but he's overwhelmed and sent flying right back towards the mecha,"

Konoro: Geppou!

"Konoro actually kicks himself through the air and grabs Toshi before he slams into the flaming and toppling monster"

Konoro: Damn

Yata: Oh look...another one...

Tizen: Yes yes, don't get you panties in a bunch.

*Tizen takes the sword, getting back on the cart.*

...........................................

*Toroi approaches Yata, firing a large fireball straight at him.*

"Yata actually cuts through it, and lands on the ground, turning around and firing an air slash like the ones Tizen has...only his are extremely big"

Yata: Well...you're what they call a logia correct...never thought I'd see one

----

Elen: Yeah yeah

"They make the horse run as fast as it can as they set off again"

----

"Meanwhile, Kizan and Toto have stopped in the middle of the valley, when they start hearing strange rubbling and feel the earth shake"

Toto: Oh...I had forgotten, it's that time
Kizen: huh?
Toto: The March of Sorrow...

Tizen: How long till we get there.

....................................

Toroi: You see something new every day huh.

*Toroi launches a fire barrage of attacks towards Yata.*

Elen: You're the one that wanted to stop!!!

---

"Toroi's blasts are dodged or cut apart by slashes from Yata. Suddenly, using soru to get behind him, Konoro attempts to cut him using his rankyaku, but Yata cuts it apart with his sword and then stabs his other sword into Konoro, followed by cutting another fire blast aimed at him by quickly removing the stabbed sword, and then using the sword he used to block the rankyaku to cut Konoro again, sending him flying away as well"

"Toshi is getting back up"

Toshi: This guy has the same style as Tizen only...he's so much better. He makes no effort...it just flows out of him

Tizen: Look, we could of argued with him. We could of tried to run past and got our ride damaged. Overall it was quicker to stop. Besides, he challenged me.

.........................................

Toroi: This isn't getting anywhere. If I do it this close I'll fry Toshi and Konoro to. Hmm, if he'd come after me though.

"As Kizan and Toto lay there, suddenly, a sight beyond their eyes comes into view. A large dragon, nothing like anything Kizan had seen before, appears before him. It could very well have been part of the mountain range just from it's sheer size"
https://i.servimg.com/u/f69/13/49/57/08/sample18.jpg

Kizan: Whoa...

"Several much smaller dragons, on them humans, are seemingly accompanying the dragon"

Kizan: What...
Toto: Edroc...a True Dragon. A creature of myth, beyond anything humans can do
Kizan: But...why is it

"Kizan notices the dragon seemingly has no aim...except to move"

Toto: There was once a True Dragon who had grown too large. He had fulfilled his life and yet continued to live. Having cared for countless ill brethren, one day his wings could no longer carry him. His swelling body slowed the propagation of nerve signals until his mind was lost, and his spirit was soon to follow. The last command he received before losing his thoughts was simply to "Keep moving forward."
Kizan: Whoa...
Toto: The march of sorrow...eternally trapped to just move without aim. That is the final faith of this True Dragon.

"Kizan looks at the approaching dragon, and suddenly, one of his fists turns to fire"

Toto: What are you
Kizan: I want to slay that thing
Toto: Are you...are you insane?
Kizan: No one who lived such a life should have to wither away like this. I'm sure this guy's way to prideful to live like this

"Kizan's entire arm turns to fire"

Toto: And you think you have what it takes...those others with him are guards from the Temple City of Dracorinorum. Tasked with protecting it. You try and they stop you. And I wont help
Kizan: Then just stay there

"Kizan's arm seemingly turns scaly as he watches the dragon approach"

Kizan: I wont let this stand...

"Toto looks at the pirate's back as he gets ready to fight for the sake of it...and wonders why would anyone risk their lives for something that they stand nothing to gain from"

----

"Elen and Tizen have in the meantime arrived at the hangar, and after again using Neo's name, gotten an aircraft"

----

"Toroi and Yata stare at each other"

Yata: Do you want some distance from this logia? I don't want you to hold back on account of them?

"And with that, Yata begins to walk away, running and getting Toroi to follow"

Toshi: WAIT!
Konoro: Just let him...we can't stop him...

Tizen: Imagine how much more bothersome this all would of been if we hadn't met Neo.

...........................................

*Toroi follows Yata to a location away from the others.*

Toroi: So you can slice through fire blasts. I'll do to you what I did to those Mecha's before. Like to see you slice though that.

*Toroi's fists ignites into flames as he still watches his opponent closely.*

Yata: Do whatever you have to do boy...but I wont old back, keep that in mind

"Yata aims his blade at him in a dare"

----

Elen: I told you, I'm getting him a goddamn fully payed medical office

----

"Kizan is standing before the mighty dragon"

Kizan: This is insane...it's...but I can't back down. I have to be strong...for them...I can do this

"Kizan aims his fist back"

Kizan: MERA MERA DRAGON FIST!!!

"Kizan jumps off the mountain, dropping down as he aims his powered up fist right into the face of Edroc. His fist barely does any damage, but does scorch him. However, he's unable to do anything, respond. But Kizan senses a spark in his eyes...as if it woke up"

Kizan: Yeah "grin"...that's what I wanted to see...come on boy, get it together!!!

"Just then, Kizan is forced to keep running along it's head as the keepers notice his presence. Eventually being unable to just run, he uses his baku baku powers to soar into the air. However, the dragons guarding Edroc are much to fast, and Kizan is hunted down and quickly caught up with. However, he turns around at"

Kizan: Mera Mera Sniper!

"He uses his fingers to shot small fireballs into the riders and take them down, but they dodge and then incite the dragons to spew fire on Kizan. He responds with a fire fist and then continues his escape"

Kizan: Come on! Keep directing towards me!!

Tizen: The man deserves it.

.................................

Toroi: Alright then, your rules. All or nothing Fire Dome attack.

*From Toshi and Konoro view we see the familiar dome of fire consume the entire area. Just as big, if not a little bigger then the attacks we've see before.*

"Yata puts his swords in an x shape, and then, his face showing intense concentration, he slashes the air. Creating a huge x shaped air slice, about as large as the mechas and golems fighting to the side, and cuting the ground as it moves, through the Fire Dome, and colliding with Toroi, with the center right at the chest"

Yata: Got you

----

"Kizan continues to dodge, his attackers, but eventually the dragons catch up to him. Just as it seems that Kizan is about to get caught, suddenly, a fire attack that's aimed at him from above is repelled...by his own skin. Kizan looks at the arm he used to instinctively block, it is covered in scales. And then, as if the need for greater speed gives it out, he suddenly grows dragon like wings"

Kizan: Alright...what the hell?!

"Toto is seen watching this"

Toto: So what the Master said was true...he has consumed the fabled sha sha no mi

"Kizan doesn't stop to think. Using his new increased speed and control, boosting it with the baku baku no mi, he becomes a literal dragon jet, and slams into the first guy, forcing him to make his dragon hold back. His arm is turned in steel hard dragon scales as he grins"

Kizan: Sha Sha Combination! DRAGON BURN!

"He engulfs his fist in fire and punches the dragon. He's instantly knocked out. As he celebrates this however, he's suddenly attacked from all sides by dragon fire, forcing him to cover himself as best he can, trying but not properly being able to use these strange new powers, and eventually falling back into the forever walking Edroc"

Kizan: Damn...

*Toroi turns himself to fire just on time to save his life.*

Toroi: Wow, close...

*With that Toroi blasts forward throwing rapid fire blasts at Yata.*

Toroi: Bring it.

"As Toroi blasts forward again, suddenly, Yata disappears from view, and reappears behind him. One of his swords has been putting away, but the other is filled with blood. Suddenly, Toroi's shoulder erupts in blood"

Yata: Two Step Finish: Endsong.

"Yata puts his other sword away as Toroi notices he cannot move his body"

Toroi: What... did he do... to me.

*Toroi is in pain from the injury and unable to move.*

Yata: Now then

"Before Yata can do anything else, he's suddenly forced to dodge a rankyaku and takes a few steps back. Toshi goes to help Toroi as Konoro stands between Yata and the fire logia"

Yata: You two again...
Konoro: Toshi, lets get out of here...the dragon squad is being pushed back by the Sea King fire and this guy just took down all 3 of us...
Yata: So you're leaving....wise choice.

"Konoro uses soru to pick up Toroi as Toshi follows as quickly as he can. Yata is left alone"

Yata: Those 3...I wonder if they were related to those 2 pirates...

----

"Meanwhile, Kizan is completely surrounded and can't escape. Just as he's about to give up hope..."

"Something flies past him, a black blur, and takes out 2 of the dragons with a single burst of purple incandescent fire"

Kizan: What the!?

"The black blur turns around and takes out 2 more, before landing near Kizan and revealing himself to be...Toto"

Kizan: How in the hell!!
Toto: Sorry, I should have mentioned this but...

"Toto's hands turn into claws, his arms gaining black scales, and he grows a pair of huge bat like wings"

Toto: I ate a devil fruit like you...Ryuu Ryuu no mi...mythical zoan.
Kizan: You can...turn into a dragon!?
Toto: Well...yeah. "Toto's eyes suddenly turn cat like" Get ready, I'll cover you, and you do whatever you have to do

"Toto suddenly takes flight and becomes a blur again. However, Kizan now know what to look for can follow him. He flies around once before going into a sky dive, and from his mouth shots the purple flames that explode on contact with another dragon guard"

Kizan: Oh that is just awesome

"Kizan takes to the skies as well and flies towards Edroc's head"

*Tizen is leaning on the rail of the airship overlooking the view. Waiting to arrive at their destination.*

...............................

*Meanwhile Toto continues to keep the dragon guards at bay using his speed and power to take them down.*

"Kizan has gotten himself back to the head. He suddenly takes flight by copying Toto's powers, and turns his arm skin scaly again"

Kizan: Alright then...lets see you handle this!

"Kizan's arm goes ablaze with both fire and jet energy"

Kizan: Sha sha combination! GREAT DRAGON FIST!

"Kizan then jets back down and punches the dragon so hard in the head that flames explode everywhere, engulfing both him and the impact point. The dragon suddenly comes to a halt, and something clicks in his eyes. His mouth opens and he aims at Kizan, who has now fallen a but down"

Kizan: Oh boy...

"Kizan is suddenly overwhelmed by a huge burst of fire, so large it completely melts off a huge part of the mountain range they're on. As he stops, the mountain shared and molten, that click Kizan forced in him vanishes and he again continues to move forward, the small sudden command to fight back falling back into his default one of moving forward for as long as he can."

----

"Meanwhile, the Erum forces are retreating. Raila is seen entering one of the ships"

Raila: Tsk...I didn't expect Wayder and Yata to be here...those nuisances

"meanwhile, Konoro, Toshi and Toroi have managed to get on board another retreating ship as well, as they all head towards the larger airship that brought them there"
