| - Previous: Padrino Part 26 Jossu: Disgraceful. This is all disgraceful. I paid all of you the biggest belli of anyone I have ever hired in my entire life. Ten million Belli each! Fifty million for the giants, and even offered an extra twenty who came through! And you, my lucky friend, are the only one who pulled it off. Why, of all people, are you the only poster child of success I have to offer. You have it, don't you? Jossu: Alright, now I feel better. [He slowly removed it from the white-face's hands, and held it tight. Then he turned to the row of Den Den Mushis behind him that lined his desk top. Jossu: Gentlemen, the bidding starts at 90 million belli. The most powerful devil fruit this entire world has ever seen in history! You may begin! Polatsu: Ishi-Sumasshu! [Kicked off from the ground and flew straight for the giant, who lifted his foot to stomp the Vice Admiral.] Polatsu: Senku-Ryuu!!!! [He lunged up into the air at that moment as the giant started to fall to one knee, that brought him close enough for the Vice Admiral's fist to meet the bottom of his chin, clocking him a good one.] Aphro: Admiral Polatsu! Hold it right there! Aphro: This has been bothering me since I laid eyes on you, Admiral. You need to take better care of yourself. Polatsu: [Grunted softly as the stinging began.] I thank you, young... doctor. Aphro: Oh, please, call me Aphro, it's so nice to see a Marine like you, all strong and skillful, it really gives good credit to you guys, you really work hard. I mean look at these muscles, you could grind pepper on these triceps! Someone's been doing their pull-ups! Polatsu: [Once again, taken aback by this] Umm... thank you. No Beard: Alright, that's enough, we need to get inside, right now. Aphro: But what about the rest of the crews? No Beard: They are doing fine! We need to stop Jossu, and now! Aphro: But-- Polatsu: He's right, we need to get into that building right away. Sakura: That's the first time someone was left so untouched by the Susano'o. This is growing frustrating. Usagi: But look at him, he's hurt, and just as tired as we are. He's wearing down and he knows it. He's going to make the first mistake. Sakura: [Managed an actual smile at this.] Your aptitude for learning is astounding, Usagi. I am proud to call you my partner, and that is ever-lasting. But for now, we need something to break the ice, and his spinal cord. Usagi: I may have an idea, but it may take everything we've got. Sakura: Please, go on. Jumpo: Little mongrel humans! I will not be taken down by the likes of you! I have taken it far enough, now you both shall feel the sting of my ultimate weapon! Look upon it and fear it! [Pulled out a boomerang from his pocket and held it up, it was very large, even for a giant in the terms of a normal boomerang, all things considered in its size.] Get ready for--- [He stopped when he noticed both of them were whispering to themselves at that point.] RUDE! So rude! How dare you giggle to one another like schoolgirls in this instance! Both of them poised themselves, and stared down the giant, dead in the eyes. Even from his standpoint, this grew unsettling. Jumpo: Enough! Taste the steel of Rai-Bu-meran! [Twirled the boomerang with one finger, making it gain immense momentum, but just before he released it--] Usagi and Sakura: Itoryuu! [Disappeared] Jumpo: Eh?! [They moved too fast for even his eyes.] Where the-- Sakura: Jinsoku-Oni Usagi: Rakkan! Both: Anda-Rain! [With a faster-than-ever slice, both of them signed their names into Jumpo's flesh, and the propulsion of the attack cut deep, deep down into his organs, and both of them cut a single horizontal line directly under their names ト ツ うさぎ for Usagi and 桜 for Sakura. The strike cut him almost all the way through his entire, gigantic body.] Usagi: Rinji?!?! Gyzu: You pesky cats! You chose poorly when you went against me! I am Gyzu, former commander of the Elbaf's third infantry squad! I have fought so many battles in the past two hundred years, I could have possibly squashed your grandfathers before they were litter-trained! [His fist came around, and lifted his palm as his brass-knuckles plowed straight into Jiro's entire front of his body, launching him straight back, his sword falling out of his hand along the way.] Jiro landed near where Rinji was holding his now broken arm, his mouth wide open and gasping, as he did not have sweat glands. Rinji: Jiro?! Are you alright?! Jiro: [Also panting for breath] Rinji, you're not going to do much good in this battle anymore, not with your arm like that. If you're not careful, it's going to come off. You need to go, and fast, I'll distract him. I still have a trick up my sleeve. Rinji: No, Jiro! You can't hold on anymore! You're strong; stronger than me, even! But you can't take this kind of abuse anymore. Jiro: [Grinned toward Rinji.] Don't worry about me, just get to cover, if I am to survive, then I will. Now go! [Popped his back in three places, and then lunged straight back into the giant that approached both of them.] Nekogenpo! Myaku Ryoukin! [Energy burst all around his body as he smashed his entire body into Gyzu's chest, completely stopping his charge and causing him to spit out a lot of blood.] Gyzu: You have fought very well, strange cat! For that, I will reserve a place on the bottom of my boot, just for you!! Ragragragragragrag!!!!! [He brought his boot up, and it came down like a meteor!] Rinji: [Roared!] STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPP!!!!!! Rinji: Until now, you have seen one form of the Cheshire Cat, because I did not want to tear up my suit, but now I don't CARE! You stand in my way now, but make no mistake! You will bow to me! BOW TO MEEEEEEE!!!!! Gyzu: How dare you speak to a higher life form than yourself! I'm gonna... ... ... what... Gyzu: GAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! [Held onto his bloody, torn torso, and then he turned the most fightened eyes toward the new monster he saw before him.]
