Battle Royale Round 1(1st Stage)

[.::Haseo On The Clouds::.]

(The people in this is shall be Haseo, Dean, and Garuda)

The roars of the sinister army were heard all over the 1st stage as the entire army divisions had come onto the stands to watch the civilians fight. The 1st stage for the battle Royale consisted of at least 2 people from each district, town, or village. On the East entrance stood Rustan, and Maxxi.....the two strongest warriors of their district. On the North side stood Gale and Ferri, the strongest of Fall Village, and on the South Stood Haseo, Dean, and Garuda......members of the Gold Dream pirates.......and to the west stood........Army Enforcers? In total with each entrance.....and with the many flooding warriors coming in waves.....the numbers totalled exactly 90 participants for the 1st stage. Now to the astonishment of the warriors....the Enforcers were in on this battle as well.

"This must be the surprise the Emperor was speaking of......"

Suddenly the bell rang and the warriors flooded into battlegrounds. A colosseum with the grounds of a rocky valley. Within moments several of the participants were down and escorted by a hover claw out of the arena.......to Haseo's surprise a man in a cloak was on the sidelines with a claw emerging from inside the cloak, capturing the defeated warriors and setting them aside.

"My turn!" and with that Haseo rushed forwards and locked into combat with Gale of Fall village, from what Wilson had said, he was ranked one of the top 25 warriors of the kingdom.


Now only 20 warriors will remain to enter the next round........

Dean was excited to participate in the tournament. Finally he had the chance to try his new abilities and see if all the training worked. Standing at the south side of the stage he looked at his foes, villagers from other towns on this island and even the Emperor's pawns, the enforcers. The bell rang and everyone started running in the battlefield fighting eachother.

Dean stood there with patience, he didn't want to get tired yet, would wait for others to finish fighting and then would take care of the remaining foes. He wasn't standing there for long when an enforcer ran to him yelling "Prepare to die scum!" and brought his rapier down at Dean. With a quick roll to the back, Dean avoided the sword and charged at him jumping on the air and drawing his big sword from his back yelling "Leaf slash!" and slashed the air with his sword bringing it down at the enforcer leaving him unconscious there.

Surprisingly a hook came from behind and grabbed the fainted enforcer bringing him outside the stage. It was a weird man spawning that hook from his cloak. Losing his attention for a moment there Dean felt footsteps closing in and a kick on his chest sent him flying towards the edge of the stage. Dean quickly stood up and faced his new oponent. It was that guy from the East side, Rustan.

"So, new guy, let's see what you've got" Rustan taunted Dean grinning ironically. Dean smiled back and answered "Trust me, you don't want to learn, you better choose someone else boy". Rustan burst out in laughter "I will choose someone else when you are down, and that will be soon". With that, Rustan charged towards Dean and sent several kicks to him. Dean blocked most but one got him on the stomach making him bend. That kick followed a hit with the knee on the face which made him fall on his back on the floor.

Quickly again he stood up holding his sword in a defending position and spat some blood "You are good then, it seems I underestimated you. Well then, shall we begin now?" he said smiling. "I'm all yours!" Rustan said and charged towards him.

Garuda had been waiting eagerly for the moment where the tournament will commence. Haseo and Dean had joined him for this round where only 25 competitors would move on out of the 90 that were participating. He could see Wilson's right hand man, Rustan had his eyes on Dean so he could see where that was going. He would have to try and take it easy on the natives for they were only doing it for survival. The enforcers however would have more to deal with and it looked like they had singled out Garuda from his early on assault as he came to Jay's aid as he confronted the Jade Emperor's officials.

Having consumed enough scrap metal to last him a month, Garuda was ready to truly test out his Pooru Pooru No Mi abilities in this tournament. The skin around Garuda's wrists parted as a hole began to form with the tip of a black, metal pole emerging from within. "Pooru Pooru No Release!" Garuda shouted and launched two missiled attacks in succession, knocking back several of the enforcers at once. He now had enough to time to quickly wield his Discus Shield as well as the Uzuki Blade. Garuda was ready for battle.

An incoming enforcer found his face rampaged by the steel of the shield whilst his sword broke free to slice across the torso of another opponent. He dodged the blade of an opponent, dodging below it to perfection before striking the back of his sword against the back of his attacker, knocking him down with a, "Counter-Attack!"

A barbaric swing of an axe caught Garuda's sleeve enough to leave a line of blood across the Gold Dream Shipwright's right arm. An enraged Garuda approached his attacker and with the use of his trusted companion, his almighty sword, Garuda shouted, "Thousand Blade!" Garuda's arms became a blur as several slashes appeared across the body of his attacker, blood began streaming down the foe's body from the numerous amount of visible cuts that stained his armor.

[.::Haseo On The Clouds::.]

From a distance you could see the Captain of the Gold Dream Pirates fending off just about every foe that was thrown at him. His tactic were quite complicated, involving many slick escape manuevers and thick powerful slam techniques. He was letting the warriors either miss and hit each other, or he himself dealt a single blow per person to knock them out with his small but heavy fists. These warriors were tough he had to admit......but compared to his training, they were nothing to worry about. Within the next couple of minutes Haseo had reduced the number by 1/5 by himself. Within another few moments he found himself fighting both Gale and Ferri at the same time. This time he was having some trouble. They were a great Tag Team and it was a bit difficult to get by their combination attacks.

Meanwhile......

Rustan charged towards Dean with immense speed, there was a reason why Rustan was ranked one of the Top 5 fighters of the kingdom. He withdrew his broadsword from its hold and swung with massive force at Dean. Of course he was only trying to maim and defeat Dean. He had no intentions to kill as he was still a law-abiding citizen of the Kingdom.

Meanwhile.......

Maxxi was now heading towards Garuda along with several enforcers. These enforcers were wearing Green Uniforms, signifying their superior rank in the army. Maxxi took his spear and twirled it many times. He jumped into the air and then crashed down from the skies to deal some major damage into Garuda, whilst the Enforcers all took aim and fired special paralysis bullets at Garuda.

In the end........

Haseo took out Ferri but Gale was still coming in strong. His fighting styel was quite unique, using two small thief knives to deliver quick yet powerful blows. Every slice was going in a 2-3-7-4 pattern around Haseo, depending on his placement and his body parts. In the end he figured out the pattern and swiftly penetrated within Gale's zone of offense and delivered a powerful uppercut on Gale knocking him out for good.

Garuda had finally found some space to catch his breath when suddenly this whole bunch of Green Enforcers started heading his way, lead but a guy holding a spear called Maxxi. He happened to be some senior ranked official on this island and the Enforcers were of a superior unit.

The guy with the spear charged in with an attack very confidently as if he could take Garuda out with a single strike. Garuda pulled the Uzuki Blade in front of his body instinctively and blocked the incoming shot. The steel of his sword struck the steel of the spear and the strength they both employed sent a huge shock wave that sent both parties flying several feet back. Garuda and Maxxi rushed back onto their feet. Garuda was half expecting another attack. However it was the Enforcers turn to attack. Wielding some special kinds of guns, they fired in unison in the hairy swordsman's direction; bullets raining in from all direction. Although Garuda avoided many through dodging and diving, and his blade also intercepted quite a few, there were still a number of them that found their way into Garuda's skin.

Garuda immediately tried to strengthen his defense's and to do so called forth the power of his Devil Fruit. "Pooru Pooru No Elongate!" The bones in Garuda's began to deform and reform as steel poles. Each one replacing the previous bone that was in its place. Only the major bones were affected with the more complicated curved bones unable to work in the form of a pole. The bones, now made of steel also lengthened in size, recreating Garuda's structure to a mighty whopping 10 feet tall.

"That's what I'm talking about," Garuda said out loud. It was then the effect of the bullets kicked in, for these were no ordinary bullets but one's that could paralyze the body. Being a bulky man, it would take more than a few bullets to put his body to sleep and now in his elongated form, quite a few more. But the one's that had already pierced his flesh had started acting up and things were getting difficult and Garuda felt his reflexes slowing down. He would have to get rid of these guys before they caused any further damage.

[.::Haseo On The Clouds::.]

Maxxi couldn't believe that he was being mistaken as an Enforcer by this pirate. In his rage he charged at Garuda once more. Rustan on the other hand halted his charge at Dean when he noticed a blade coming inches to his torso. Another 20 or so participants began to charge at both Dean and Rustan, this would have proved to be an annoying battle.

Haseo sighed as he delivered the final blows to knock Gale and Ferri down. Both were weak and unable to move by the time Haseo gave them their pounding. It was a long battle, one that was quite thrilling, but not very satisfying. He was beating up civilians, all due to the cruel nature of some Jade Emperor. If he could have his way, he would just storm up to the throne and beat the Jade Emperor silly until he begged for mercy. Too bad it wasn't this way. As Haseo appraoched a group of 4 fighters, he heard a loud shriek and a gong being hit from a distance.

"THIS ROUND IS NOW OVER! THERE ARE 20 WARRIORS REMAINING!"

Haseo sighed once more as he halted his charge and just stood there, waiting for the participants to leave.....so that they could await their next battles.........
