Chapter 9: Escape From Sorbet Island

One Piece: Wanted DeadWords: 10241

Shin and Ruby sat near Davy's boat, making sure no one else took it but them.

Shin: Hmph! What's taking her so long?

Ruby: Throwing a tantrum won't make anything go faster.

Shin: Tantrum?! Are you saying that because I'm short and childlike!?

Ruby:(pats Shin's head)

Shin's afro boings with each pat.

(Mrrrrrrrrrrrr)

Ruby: Do you hear that?

Shin: Hmmm... Sounds like a Mark 5 marine motor based on the pitch... But something seems off-

A speedboat slides onto land, passing Shin and Ruby. They watch in shock as Admiral Arnold steps out of the boat with a propeller on his back which melts into him.

Shin: Th-That's an Admiral!!!

He hides behind Ruby.

Ruby: What is an Amiral doing here!?

Arnold walks over to the two and lights a cigar.

Arnold: Davy Jones. Where is he?

His hand turns into a one-to-one model of Davy's head. Which the two immediately recognized.

Arnold: I'm only here for him.

Ruby:.... Last we saw him... He was heading towards the city...

Arnold:(blows smoke)

Arnold: Thank you for your cooperation.

The Full Metal Admiral heads towards the city. Ruby looked ashamed as Shin was still afraid for his safety.

(Opening theme)

Tiga, Victor, and Azriel watch the vampire civilians lose their power and slowly crumble. A few minutes later, Davy ran into the room.

Davy: Yo!

Azriel:(crosses arms) What have you been up to?

Davy: I've been fighting princesses and stomping of royal balls.

Davy: You?

Tiga: Fighting an army of weirdos!

Davy: Did you guys free the women kidnapped? Because I passed by like... Fifty ladies!

Tiga: I think I did that...?

Davy:(shrugs) If they're free now... Then our work is done here.

Davy: Let's go.

Azriel: Hold on. We need to discuss the terms of how you're going to pay me back for sinking my ship.

Davy:(yawn)... Listen...

Azriel: Azriel.

Davy: Azriel. Just take any ship you find on this island.

Azriel: That doesn't change the fact you owe me.

Davy: For what?

Azriel: Sinking my ship!

He, Victor, and Tiga swaggered past her and out the entrance of the castle.

Davy: If you think I have the cash to buy you a new one. You're stupider then you look..

Azriel looms over the trio.

Azriel: You're in luck, that I need manpower.

Azriel: I was on my way to claim the most powerful ship in the world.

Tiga: Oooooh... I already wanna fight it.

Victor: What makes that ship so special?

Azriel: Are you going to help me or not?

Davy: Let's just share a boat out of here, and figure this out on the next.....island....?

He sees him. In the distance, Davy J. spots Admiral Arnold slowly approaching. A grin grows, as the rebel pirate is sure in his ability to defeat him now.

Victor; Is that...?

Azriel: Admiral Full Metal Arnold!? What is he doing here?!

Tiga: An Admiral...? Let me at 'em!

Davy: He's mine.

Tiga: Awww...

Azriel: Are you insane or stupid?

Davy: I fought him once. Now it is time I beat him to a pulp!

Davy: You all head back to the boat! "Ro-Ro; Surfer"!

He speeds off towards Arnold, leaving the three in the dust. Victor and Tiga listen to their captain as Azriel stays to watch from afar.

Azriel:(mind) This guy fought Full Metal Arnold....? Who exactly is he...?

(Vrrrrrrr)

Sliding to a halt, Davy stood several feet away on the street where Arnold was walking on. Buildings were on their left and right, making this a corridor for the two to fight in.

Arnold: Davy Jones.

Davy: I'm ready for round two!

Arnold: I'd hope so, with the rumor and bounty for you I put out... I'd hope it forced you to get a little better.

Davy: Wait, rumor? I know about the bounty.

Arnold: Heh... "Davy Jones's locker".

Arnold: To guarantee a high bounty on you... And to get as many people to target you as possible...

Arnold: I told everyone I could possibly tell...

Arnold: That you stole the Marines' most valuable and most dangerous treasure...

Arnold: The Forbidden Fruit you saw...

Davy recalls the Devil fruit in the bunker.

Arnold: And you placed it in a hidden locker. Davy Jones's locker... Which I coined.

Davy: But I didn't take it....

Arnold: Yet it disappeared after you appeared...

Davy: You son of a bitch! You took it, didn't you!? And pinned it in me!

Arnold: Perhaps...(lights cigar)

Davy: Why?

Arnold: So I could chase you...

He takes a puff of his expensive cigar. Savoring it as much as he could.

Davy: Huh...?

Arnold: You think I liked having to keep guard of that island... Watching all the experiments performed there...?

Arnold: Day after day, seeing the worst of us?

Arnold: You're the best thing to happen to me. Letting you go, resulted in me having to chase you, as I knew it would.

Arnold: This right here... It's my vacation. And it will last until I kill you or you kill me.

Davy: Me killing you might be the only option.

Arnold: Don't get me wrong. You have a lot of potential. But there is no possible way you've grown strong enough to kill me.

Arnold: You'll either die today. Or escape. I suggest you escape...

Arnold: Preferably to a nice island. Maybe somewhere snowy?

Davy: Tch! You bastard....!

Davy: DON'T UNDERESTIMATE MEEEE!!

(BRRRRRRRRRRRR)

Davy: LEVEL..... 2!!!

Davy: "Jack Grinder"!!!

Davy: "Ro-Ro; Jack Mower"!!!

(SWOOOSH)

Closing the distance in a flash, Davy J. Leaped up to be face-to-face with the Admiral before unleashing a brutal flurry of attacks.

Davy: "Ro-Ro; Jack Hammer"!!!

He used his rotation powers to swing his body 90° left and right, allowing him to rapidly punch Arnold in quick succession. Roughly 20,000 blows per minute.

Davy riddled Arnold with punches, all across his body, as he fell and landed back on the ground.

With a crushed cigar in his mouth, Arnold glared down at the shorter enemy of his.

Arnold:(glares) Not bad...

Davy: You haven't seen anything yet...!

Davy: "Ro-Ro; Jack Axe"!!

With a sideways heel kick, Davy aimed to grind away at Arnold who lifted his leg and blocked the attack with his armament Haki.

(CLANG)

(BRRRRRRR)

Arnold: "Full Metal Hammer".

Making a hammer out of his metal body, Arnold smacks away Davy, who lands on his knees and vanishes from sight as he zooms around the Admiral.

(SWOOSH, SWOOSH SWOOOSH)

Arnold: "Full Metal whip"!

With a large heavy metal chain made from his arm, Arnold swings it several times around, destroying the sides of the nearby buildings and the road itself.

To avoid the whip, Davy leaped into the air.

Arnold: "Full Metal Pistol".

Quickly turning around, Arnold shoots at Davy multiple times. And with no way of moving himself mid-air, Davy utilizes Observation-Haki to deflect the bullets with his spinning arms.

(Kink, clank, clank)

Arnold: It seems you were right. You've grown much stronger than I thought you would in such a short portion of time.

Landing, Davy "Jack Mower's" his way towards Arnold for a powerful punch.

Davy: "Ro-Ro; Jack Drill"!!

Arnold throws his own punch.

The two collide fist.

(CLANG)

Davy, the ferocious pirate tried to increase the speed of his rotating fist, to try and grind away at Arnold and his Haki-coated arm.

(BRRRRRRRrrrrrrr)

Davy:?

Arnold: You would have been a decent threat... If you weren't at your limit.

A rod extends out the back of Arnold's elbow.

Arnold: "Full Metal Piston".

The rod slides back into Arnold's arm and creates a shockwave at the end of his fist, blowing Davy back many blocks down the street.

Davy skipped across the road like a rock can skip across water. He finally stopped once he collided with a wall.

(Crash)

Climbing out of the rubble, Davy felt the arm he punched with was limp. It was dislocated by Arnold's attack.

(Craunk)

Davy: AGHHH!!

He relocated the arm. And crawled out of the rubble.

Davy: This guy... He's SO going to get it!

Davy: "Ro-Ro; Jack Mower"!!

Sliding sideways to his knees, Davy falls flat on his face.

Davy: Oof!

Davy: The hell...?

Getting up, Davy tries to rotate his limbs.

(BRRRRRRRrrrrrrrr)

(Vrrrrrrrrr)

He finds, that he cannot reach the speed of Level 2 anymore. As he pushes himself more, the speed only decreases more until finally, he feels a massive cramp in all his limbs.

Davy:?!

Davy: You've got to be kidding me...! There's a downside to my power up!?!

Azriel: There usually are...

She remarked, whilst floating down.

Davy: What are you still doing here?

Azriel: I heard and saw everything.

Davy: Then congratulations. You're as Wanted as me now.

Azriel: This is our chance to escape.

Davy: That's exactly what he wants... I ain't giving it to him!

Azriel: What can you even do now against him?

In the distance, Davy sees Arnold approaching. The rebel pirate lifts a leg and begins spinning it with his hands. Once he got enough speed, he used his power to speed up the rotation.

(Vrrrrrr)

Davy: This leg. All I need is this leg, in top gear!

(BRRRRRRRRRRR)

Azriel: You can't beat him!

Davy: Not while tired... No... But I can leave him with proof of my power!

Davy: Just like last time... When I shot him in the chest!

Azriel: You what?!

Using that one leg, Davy "Jack Mowered" over to Arnold and leaped into the air.

Davy: Hiya!

He kicked Arnold in the neck and held his leg there as Arnold caught him with metal arms that melted out of his body.

Arnold: What were you hoping to accomplish?

Davy: Friction!

(BRrrrRRRRRRRRRR)

Arnold: Huh?

Noticing, that Davy's leg was now glowing with heat from the friction generated by it spinning against his metal Haki-infused body, Arnold questioned how this would help him.

Davy: "Ro-Ro; Jack Welder"!!

But it was when Davy fell out of his metal arms that he realized, the purpose of generating that heat wasn't to make Davy's leg hot, it was to make his metal body hotter and softer than he wanted.

As Davy fell, he kicked at the spot on Arnold's chest where he was shot.

With his metal body in a soft state, the blow could have seriously crippled the Admiral if Haki wasn't involved.

Arnold:(Coughs blood)

But that didn't mean he was uninjured from the attack.

(SWOOOOSH)

Grabbing Davy J. Azriel flew away with him, toward the boat at the dock.

Davy: Hehe... I NOW KNOW HEAT IS A WEAKNESS!! NEXT TIME, WHEN I'M RESTED!

Davy: YOU'RE SO SCREWED!!!

He shouted at Arnold who simply scoffed with a smirk.

Arnold: Yeah... Yeah...

Arnold: I don't care. Just so long as this vacation keeps on going as long as it can...

Arriving at the boat, Davy and Azriel's crew sail off together in the small boat.
