Crisis! The Deadly Gems!(GD Pirates)

[|The SHAKINATOR|]

Garuda rushes toward Iki once more, their blades collide against one another. Iki's double Chinese war-blades against the single Uzuki Blade held by Garuda. The strength of the two warriors fought against one another in a back and forth power struggle until Garuda managed to push the Enforcer away.

The Jade Emperor's personal soldier swore under his breath but was far from giving up. He was infuriated at having to work so hard against a mere pirate. He brought both his swords to his chest forming and 'X' before thrusting them forward with immense speed and power whilst calling, "Cross-Roads Cutter". The attack split the air in the shape it made, sending forth a ranged attack in Garuda's direction representing that of an 'X'. "Take this you son of a gun."

Garuda brought his discus shield in front of him as protection once again but felt the force move his feet backwards as the wind around him became effected by the strength that had been put behind the attack. Garuda knew he would struggle to contain this attack and it would give his opponent enough time to prepare several more such attacks in the time it would take him to deal with the current one.

Suddenly an idea released into the mind of the Shipwright of the Gold Dream Pirates. Using the abilities blessed to him by the power of his Devil Fruit, Garuda yelled, "Pooru Pooru no Elongate!". The forearm of Garuda became elongated by several yards, pushing the attack forward in the process with the shield blasting through the air. The speed of the strike was tremendous, such that Iki had no time to deal with it. He found the shield held by Garuda charge down at him like a runaway train. And although he put his swords in front of his body as protection, he felt his body get lifted off the ground as they collided against the incoming shield being propelled by the elongated arm of Garuda. Iki fell several feet away, disgraced and humiliated as Garuda looked on smiling, his arms returning to their normal length.

"Its time we end this, punk." Garuda shouted out as he prepared himself for a final attack. "THOUSAND BLADES!" Garuda unleashed his most feared attack. His body moves forward at a scary speed, his hands moving like a blur with the sword in his hands becoming one with his mind. The strikes came in from all direction, bombarding Iki left, right, horizontal, vertical and even adding in a diagonal slash every now and again.

With this chaotic maelstrom of dust, dirt, trees, and boulder fragments, one would surely have become lost in tracking the cause of such a thing. However, the Jade Emperor, being calm and collected with his intelligence and at the same time ruthlessly cold, simply planted a palm into the ground. In an instant, spikes of jade erupted from the grounds surrounding him. They all sprouted at an angle opposite of the direction in which the maelstrom had been spinning. As a result of the new obstructions, the debris maelstrom suddenly halted and dropped to the ground. Consequently, this now exposed Haseo to the Jade Emperor, whose eyes simply turned to his direction.

Without so much as an indicator that he was going to move, the Jade Emperor rocketed away from his position and closed the distance between him and Haseo in a very short amount of time. His extremely swift movements appeared as a simple green blur to any others. As he came face to Haseo, he seemingly vanished from his view, appearing directly behind the metal youth. He had created heavy jade armor around himself, vastly increasing his weight as he aimed a stomping kick at Haseo's back, impacting the young pirate' back with great force. At the instantaneous moment of impact, a large and long jade spike shot out of his foot, piercing Haseo's liver and perhaps one or two other organs before exiting through the front. The spike retreated into his foot as he dropped to the ground. The extra armor he had created for himself shattered, leaving only what he came to the battle with. "That wound is certainly fatal. Your liver has been pierced, along with one or two other organs. You will bleed out to death...eventually," said the Jade Emperor with his usual frigid tone with an added ominous tinge as he turned and began to walk away, creating a path out of the ring of jade spikes.

"Yo Basil, take care of these two whilst I deal with this sly punk."

"Right." As long as his Devil Fruit wasn't a secret, he might as well finish off the subordinates quickly. As they approached Garuda from behind, Basil thrust his left shoulder in front of him as several tongues shot from his back between the two attackers and Garuda, entwining themselves to the trees on the other side, creating a web of tongues around the opponents. Some of the tongues struck at their hands and wrists, restricting their weapon movement for a brief moment before Basil could do them in.

"Tongue Tongue Garotte: Entangle!" A few loops traveled along the tongues, tying up the pairs arms, legs and necks. Basil took hold of the two tongues wrapped around the men's necks and wrapped them around his left arm once before using his right elbow to jerk the tongues back and tighten the grip. After a few moments of struggling, Basil did this again, jerking the tongues even tighter with his left elbow this time. The pair continued to struggle for oxygen, but a third pull completely stopped their movement and the hung limp in the web of tongues. A deep exhale followed from Basil's own mouth and the tongues released their grip on the trees and the men, the goal was not to kill if he could help it, but murder did beget murder. An eye for an eye, as they would say.

It discomforted him a bit but Basil didn't like to dwell on things like this. Sometimes, you just had to do what you had to do. With a sigh, he regained his bearings on the situation, turning in time to see the emperor leave the ring of spikes he had created some time earlier.

"...Haseo?" He looked over to Garuda for a moment, a restrained look of worry on his face. "Haseo!" Running for the ring, a series of tongues launched out of his back at the ground, propelling him over the wall, whereupon he came to rest at the top of one of the spikes, leaning off the side and peering into the ring.

"Guys! He's hurt!" What tongues he had free to use wrapped around parts of Haseo's body and lifted him out of the spike pit, keeping him as level as possible and blocking the wound but being careful not to apply too much pressure. Basil had enough first aid knowledge to do that much, apply pressure and cover the wound with what he could. When they came to the ground, he kept his tongues around Haseo's body and unsheathed his swords. They needed to get to a doctor, but it would be dangerous to try and manuever Haseo through the battle ground the are had turned into. Nothing to do but wait for his crew to finish and protect Haseo's body.

A red parasol,
Spinning, hiding her visage,
Enter Kikuya...

((Just a little haiku to signal her approach.))

Takeda was thrown down to one knee by the debris and rocks that flew his way. He was thrown off balance by the rocks that were flying his way. In desperation he flung bombs that seemed to counter act the onslaught of rocks. The recoil from the explosion threw both of the combants backwards. Jay flipped backward to catch his balance from the explosion. He skidded back a few feet before he stopped. Takeda managed to catch his balance also by clinging to the side of a building. Jay was not going to let this man get away unscathed, he unbuttoned his jacket and lunged forward using everything he had. Takeda reached into his jacket for some explosives but he felt the ground had begun to crack. He looked down to see the young fighter punching the wall. “Not so fast…” Jay said calmly as he pushed forward into the wall causing it to crumble. Takeda flipped forward off the wall onto the ground. In the same motion he threw some kunai in an outward motion at Jay.

Jay caught a chunk of the wall and used it like a shield. The kunai were actually bombs, which were set to detonate on impact. He tried to discard it but the explosion happened to fast. He was sent tumbling through the house breaking all types of household appliances and tables. Takeda pursued into the house but Jay saw to give him a greeting. He chucked a chair at his head, Takeda made an attempt to block it. Jay vaulted over the table, and kicked through the chair into his face. Takeda flinched and stumbled backwards. Jay grabbed the man by his shirt and launched him through the counter. Takeda grunted in pain after being tossed through a wooden counter.

He get up and launched some bombs at Jay. He dived over a table and flipped it in the process. The bombs clung to it as Jay quickly moved around the scenery to avoid the explosions. Jay ended up behind a wall to gather himself. “I gotta end this, I can’t let this drag out….” He thought. Takeda was still firing off bombs left and right, the wall wasn’t going to hold up any longer. Jay dove from behind the counter and went for one final attack. “!!!!!!!!” was the expression on Takeda’s face as Jay ran towards him. He smiled and pulled a sword. Jay vanished using his extreme speed and reappeared behind him. “Your done…Seiryu Authority!” Jay yelled as he slammed his fist into Takeda’s back. A sharp shockwave fired right through the chest of Takeda. He sat there motionless for a moment as he coughed up blood. “Well done….” He muttered. Jay smiled as he stood up and left the building.
Jay heard the commotion that seemed to still be going on where

Haseo was, he decided it was time to make an entrance.

Garuda stood over the beaten down body of Iki, proud of accomplishment. Garuda found it funny how peacefully Iki rested in his unconscious state whilst Garuda stood there, out of breath and struggling to remain standing. Both men had suffered cuts from one another but Garuda looked nowhere near as bad as the Enforcer of the Jade Emperor.

Garuda sheathed his sword and was on the verge of putting his discus shield away when he heard Basil's call. "Guy's, He's Hurt." Garuda eyes suddenly darted toward Basil and then toward Jay. They both seemed fine, but it was their Captain, Heavy Death Haseo who had been taken out by the Jade Emperor.

This didn't look good. They had to get him some help. Garuda knew he had to do something to win them enough time to rescue Haseo. Garuda had an idea. He used the shiny surface displayed on the inside of his shield and used it to reflect the beams of the sun. The rays shone brightly on to the reflective surface of the shield and Garuda positioned it so that the light was sent back in the enemy's direction. With the enemy blinded, Garuda then called forth the power of his devil fruit in his free left hand and produced many sharp poles with pointed ends, like that of a spear before throwing them across like a javelins, aimed for the enforcer's of the Jade Emperor . He hoped to kill them all if possible but highly doubted his chances. The least he expected was to win enough time to get Haseo the hell out of there.

-END THREAD-

(Quick flash of the occurng events)

Garuda gives everyone enough time to escape and everyone rushes Haseo back to town. There he is being treated with the limited medical ability of the townspeople when suddenly a lady comes by the name of Kikuya and begins to treat Haseo's injuries. Before he passes out, he gives everyone the heads up about leaving the crew as he wishes them to continue their journey across the seas into a grand future. Garuda and Jay accept his wishes and prepare to leave as Basil and Dean refuse to leave Haseo's side.

Now Haseo is in a deep acoma for who knows how long, and is still being treated by Kikuya. Basil and Dean are by his side, in case there is another attack. Finally both Basil and Dean step up to the plate and gathers all the districts of the Kingdom and declare war on the Emperor. They unite as rebel forces to take their place back in the kingdom.
