Weathering the pragmatic 'tempest' that is Dante's Abyss, Luffy trekked along the beaten path. Resounding volleys of gunfire, percussing explosions and speckled shrieks ruptured through the whispering gale of an otherwise tranquil breeze. Putrid scents of kindled timber and searing flesh inundated the soothing wafts of eloquent flowers, smothering their grace beneath rotten stench.
Krrip, Krrip.
Leisurely peeling away the translucent wings of captured butterflies, Straw Hat hummed demented melodies to himself as he savored their helplessness. Mutilated and marred, the collective of majestic insects rolled from his palm as he tilted it ever slightly, following the motion with his head. After dribbling to the ground motionless, the pirate hammered a fist down, mushing them to fleshy shrapnel as emerald innards went 'splat' all over the base of his hand.
"Gehehehegeh," the bedeviled lunatic squawked maniacally like an infant burning ants with a magnifying glass. Darkrai felt no greater pleasure than forcing his 'tools' to perform vile deeds.
Losing interest in bug-bashing, the captain grabbed for the firearm to his aft and arose to his feet. With a gurgling tummy, he realized this human shell required sustenance, likely more than your average homo-sapien. After all, for the time he possessed the boy, he was forced to sate such pestering cravings, else his hold would deteriorate along with the body.
Settling betwixt a rampart of brush, Luffy fastened the rifle's butt against his shoulder. Grasping its forestock with his free hand, the youth winced as jolting pain shot up through his arm. After the climactic skirmish, the boy's stab wound was since cauterized to avoid bloodloss, however the injury remained a lingering hindrance. Shaking the discomfort away, Straw Hat peered down the lengthy barrel and affixed his eyes through the scope.
Kshkshksh!
A rustle in the distance spooked his attention, soliciting the captain to pivot his vision slightly to the right. Emerging from the cover of tree branches and shrubbery, a fuzzy bear cub mozied on out to sniff at the air. The poor tyke hadn't an inkling that those last few breathes would be its last. Curling his chops into a malicious grin, Luffy tensed his body before gently tugging at the hair-trigger.
Gwooaaar!
The cursed captain's eyes pulsed as a vicious roar bellowed from his flank. His heart skipped a beat as he rashly shifted, tearing his focus from the furry tot and pausing with rattled gaze upon a towering grizzly. As the mammoth beast ascended to her hind legs for intimidating tact, Luffy instinctively swiveled the gun shaft posthaste.
Krakow!
Straw Hat managed to pull off a shot, though a blink too late. Protecting her pup, the ravenous momma bear swiped with a razor-tipped paw, clipping the youth along his midriff as he hurtled into a thicket of thorny weeds. His boomstick clanked against the ground several yards away, leaving him diddly but fisticuffs to defend himself.
Charging full steam ahead, the boorish mammalian gaped her cavernous maw, displaying a column of dagger-length fangs. In that instance, Darkrai educed the raw physical efficacy his borrowed vessel garnered, recalling his ferocity during the prior event's warfare. Just as the berserk quadruped was moments from taking a chunk out of the pirate, Luffy cracked her in the jaw with his good arm, launching her skyward like a sack of potatoes.
Thwam!
Springing up from the turf to match the beast's elevation in kind, the steadfast captain heaved a reinforced roundhouse into the mother's chest cavity, effectively caving it under pressure. Thereafter, she ricocheted against a burly trunk and slammed into the terrain with a tremorous thud, carving a depression in the soil as splinters of bark sprinkled atop her breathless carcass.
Landing with shoddy balance, mugiwara yanked his rifle from a bushel of entangling vines as the precious cub pranced over and nudged its lifeless parent. Whimpering in heartache, the furry offspring licked her bloodied wounds and cried out in sorrow for its fallen mommy. The toddler was alone, afraid and aghast. Chuckling maniacally, Luffy traced his lips with a voracious tongue, stretching a delighted grin as he positioned the family 'banquet' within his crosshairs.
"Entree and appetizer coming right up!"
BLAM!!
