Day Four

[Karl Jak]

Face to Face
#04 Retane vs #37 Luffy & #14 Mickey Mouse

Straw Hat and the Mouse King had only been together for a short while when they heard the air raid siren.

“Oh, Boy,” Mickey muttered as he clenched the hammer in his fist. What was it this time? Did Karl Jak intend to drop bombs on the island now that the competition was winding down to its conclusion?

The two looked around and realized that it was starting to…

Snow?

Luffy held out a hand and watched as one of the flakes dropped onto his hand. He held it up to his mouth and licked it. A moment later, he made a disgusted noise and spat it onto the ground. “Not snow.”

“It’s ash…” Mickey muttered as they both saw a figure emerge from the woods nearby. The green flesh and the ragged clothes were recognizable to the mouse almost immediately—it was the prime with the rocket launcher. This was the same prime that Erza had struck down in front of the diner, so why was he lumbering toward them? And why was his head concealed with a giant, rusted red pyramid helmet.

“What is it?” Luffy said as he backed away, his hands reaching for the rifle.

“Not a friend,” Mickey replied as the monster lurched forward and swung a massive cleaver at them. The mouse ducked under as Luffy hopped up, his feet just barely escaping the weapon’s path as it tore through a nearby tree without stopping. The elastic pirate landed on his feet and pulled the trigger, sending a fifty caliber round right into the monster’s helmet, which jerked to the side upon impact.

Without a sound, Pyramid Head stepped forward and swung the glaive down at Mickey Mouse like a spear. The mouse hopped back and released a blast of lighting from Mjolnir that caught the creature in the chest, causing lightning to dance across its body for a few brief moments before it dropped down to a knee.

As he was the closet one, Luffy shouldered his rifle and drew closer. He saw the glaive move and fired at the creature’s hand, blasting it apart, but even as he celebrated that small victory, he didn’t see the cleaver swing forward until it was already buried halfway through his gut. The pirate let out a groan as he dropped the rifle and turned to face the monster. A bolt of lightning danced across Pyramid Head as Luffy’s sweat started to boil around him.

Mugiwara growled as he slung back an arm, stretching it as far as he could. As he slung it forward, it burst into flames and slammed right into the monster’s pyramid helmet. There was a moment of resistance before the helm shattered apart.

The namekian inside groaned as he lost his grip on the cleaver. He dropped to his own knees and clutched at the dirt as he felt his heart slowing down in his chest. He was Death. He wouldn’t die like this. This was his contest!

Retane lurched forward as the ground behind him exploded amidst a bolt of lightning. His green hands slammed into the handle of the clever, forcing it deeper into his opponent’s gut. Before he could wrench it free, a pair of hands closed around his neck. The namekian looked up into the eyes of his opponent and sneered even as his neck was broken with a swift twist. As Luffy dropped the corpse of the namekian, he turned and smiled faintly at Mickey.

“You got this,” he muttered as he collapsed. By the time the mouse reached him, Monkey D. Luffy had already slipped away.
