Muggy Surpise
In the Finzione mushroom fields…
Crocodile raised his hands and raised some earth in the air. In the ground was a huge pile of gold, gems, and bottles of alcohol. Some of the Buggy crewmen look on in earnest. “With enough searching, I can find anything buried in the ground just on its smell. Observation of Earth, being that I’m an sand man. Start packing this on the ship so we’re ready to go even if they lose the game.”
“Wow, Buggy has such a dependable commander.”
“Wait, why should we pack this up? I wanna spend it on some of the clown girls in town.”
“You horny simp, we’re using this money for the whole company. Anyways…” Croc sighed, “Captain Buggy told me to sneak away and find the treasure and for you guys to help carry it. It’s a direct order from him.”
“Yay, we’ll do as Buggy asks!”
“Maybe we’ll get a bigger share!”
“I hate my life,” Croc said sighing. He looked over and saw someone hiding behind a mushroom. Feeling spotted, they turned around and started running away. “Crap, now we’ve been spotted,” he said sanding away.
Back at the Davy Back Fight…
Mihawk was sitting on the bench with his head hung low. “It’s okay that you’re a loser, you can finally relate to us now,” Mohji told him.
“Hopefully the rest of our team is up to snuff,” Buggy stated.
“Winch Green Bastille,” Yonji fired another one now at Urouge who was similarly surrounded by electric cannonballs. Urouge caught Yonji’s ball but it pushed him out of the field. “And youuuuuur out! You stepped off the stage, ” stated the ref, “eliminated!”
“Oh well,” Urouge responded.
“Okay this is starting to suck,” Caesar said.
“We needed those two to take out Habdurra but now we need a new plan,” Daz said.
“My negative horos are only making Habdurra angrier. We have to be real serious.”
Mihawk asked, “why do we even have rules? Are we not pirates?”
“It does suck that Morgans forgot to explain anything. We’ll just have to lose this and win the next one,” Alvida said.
Buggy argued, “the Captain fight? I’m not winning that! This was supposed to be our clincher!”
Galdino then suggested, “while Morgans never explained anything, I can’t imagine this game is too specific. For example, they have to knock each other out with cannonballs that were in the barrels but all the barrels exploded. They’ve just been catching and picking balls off the ground. So I don’t think the ref would even notice if we rolled some muggy balls over to our team.”
“Good idea Galdino! Let’s be pirates,” Buggy announced.
Mihawk stated, “is this really best? I think it’s obvious the ref has a bias and Apoo or Queen will just tattle on us. We should just follow the rules and win honestly.”
“He’s such a sore loser. He’s still coping about losing dodgeball,” Alvida told Cabaji who nodded. Mihawk rolled his eyes.
As the three kept getting smashed by cannonballs by the three, Buggy prepared his plan. Galdino made a nice waxy pathway for the muggy balls they rolled over to their teams end of the battlefield. Richie and Mohji distracted the ref and Apoo’s benchers with a juggling show. Daz recognized the balls and smirked. “They’ve got a delivery,” Ichiji noticed.
Caesar fired the muggy balls like a machine gun while horo ghosts harmlessly phased through the emotionless Vinsmokes and vindictive Habdurra. It would at least stun them for a moment. The balls then hit them all with massive explosions. The three cheered. Inbi blew the smoke away and the four stood a bit damaged but okay. “It’ll just take a bit more,” Daz said.
“I’ve got an idea,” Yonji said, “since you’ve got Armament but it’s less permanent on a projectile. We make you a projectile.”
“But we have to be careful. I touch the ground on the other side and I’m eliminated.”
“That’s where I come into play. Distract them brothers.”
Then Apoo pointed out, “hey wait, they are getting bombs delivered to them! Ref!”
“Huh,” the ref looked over but the wax pathway was gone and the crew was whistling innocently. “Keep playing!”
“It’s okay, we still have ten left,” Caesar said, “we’ll make these count for now.”
Yonji and Habdurra leapt onto Inbi’s shoulders. Yonji wrapped his winch arm around Habdurra’s waist and then Inbi picked him with his giant fingers. Niji and Ichiji threw several balls at the unaware trio that now used a smokescreen to defend themselves. “Now he’s spread himself into smoke, but I should be able to grab him if we swing through it,” Habdurra said.
“Got that, oni? Let’s swing.”
Inbi swung them across the field and Yonji lengthened his arm. Habdurra flew through the smoke cloud with one CoA hand held out. Once rising out of it, he was clutching onto the body of Caesar. “How the-” he was then knocked out by Habdurra smashing a cannonballs on his face. Caesar fell on the ground completely unconscious. The ref declared him eliminated. The two were back on Inbi’s shoulders. “Good now we do the same with the girl.”
“Wallahi, we’re finished,” Daz told Perona.
“No way, I’m not giving up now! Our captain needs us,” she declared. She took a couple of the muggy balls while summoning some horo ghosts.
“Aww, what is the little princess gonna do against us?” Ichiji teased.
“Go back to the creepy closet you came from, goth clown,” Niji stated.
“Have a nightmare, Germa!” The baby horos then swarmed flying at the two brothers. They were a bit creeped out but the horos simply attached to their bodies. “Hey hold on, you have to attack them with cannonballs,” Apoo pointed out. Perona tossed her ball which it the ground and exploded making a large smokescreen. Then her horos exploded into massive chain shockwaves. Inbi cleared the smoke again to see the two completely unconscious and ripped apart.
“My sons! Impossible,” Judge exclaimed.
“Everyone has their limits,” Heyritten argued.
Yonji commanded, “Swing us now!”
Inbi swung them low straight for Perona. Perona said, “now that I see you, you’re the problem. Horos!” They collected upon Yonji and his extended arm.
“Equal trade,” Yonji threw Habdurra who collided into Perona, ball first. Then he used geppo to jump above her and slam dunk the cannonball in her face. The horos exploded as Inbi pulled back. Yonji’s hand landed on the ground and he came to a rest on their side of the field. Habdurra then continued with geppo to return but suddenly Daz roller bladed in the way. This is why we needed his giant arm to swing. I miss one step in geppo and I fall! Buggy fired a muggy ball hitting Habdurra’s side. Daz tackled the big cat brining him to the ground. The ref blew his whistle. Perona and Habdurra were eliminated.
Daz stood bravely against the one armed Yonji and Inbi. I still have nine muggy balls which should easier fair on the oni. Quickly, he volleyed these over up to Inbi’s face. They exploded angering Inbi to come grab Daz and slam him against the ground. “Eliminated!”
“Impossibly, you guys received an edge in this fight,” Yonji said as Daz stood up again.
“Ball’s in your court, mosshead.”
Yonji frowned reattaching his arm, “right, well I hope you have the guts.” Yonji sent the thirty cannonballs across Daz’s body. Daz used full body haki to defend himself against the enhanced throws of Yonji’s whirring hands. Afterwards, Daz was bloodied and dented all over the place. He sent his own storm of cannonballs across Yonji denting and bleeding him the same. The crowd was now in an uproar cheering for more blood. Another hailstorm upon Daz sent him to the floor. The ref counted down from ten but Daz rose at 2. Yonji gritted his teeth as he weathered another welding from Daz. He too collapsed. Then he rose without the ref having to count. Yonji pciked up one ball and started to turn his arm, “okay, this is the last throw, tin man.”
Heyritten commented, “you are definitely impressive Daz Bonez. You’re a Brighella.”
“Only if you quit,” Daz replied.
