Hey, guys, I'm sorry took so long to write this and update the story leaving you guys with a cliffhanger. I've been so caught with a lot of things and gor that I sincerely APOLOGIZE. I know I should've scheduled myself better with my fanfics and so I graduated this year from my high school and am writing a book myself and going to college this fall. It's going to be stressful, but bare with me. I will finish these stories and continue on with life. From now on every Saturday will be a new chapter of different stories, i.e. this one, One Piece: Jigoku Island, etc.. I won't half ass them and will do great quality writing even if I have writers' block. Now sadly some of my stories have been deleted so I intend on rewriting on future chapters while also rereading what I wrote so it may a little longer than usual to publish them. With this in mind, I hope you have a wonderful day/night.

[EDIT: This was supposed to be posted five or six weeks ago but a lot of college stuff caught up to me, I apologize and from here on out I'll post stories/New chapters every Saturday].

Happy Summer!

Hey guys! This is going to be the first story, I'm updating today!

Enjoy!

The final battles are about to clash:

It's the Strawhat Pirates vs. The Demon Pirates

Sixth fight: 'Sniper King' Usopp vs. 'Iron Bullet' Juu

A/N: [SPOILERS: DON'T READ IF YOU WANT TO BE SPOILED] Yes, I'm aware of Sanji's story with his family, and no the character Niji here in this fanfic is not the one in the manga.

Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece.

Chapter 26: Usopp vs. Juu

"What was that?!" Usopp exclaimed noticing a huge shift in the building.

"It's like another earthquake!" Nami commented loudly.

"Avoid that for now!" ordered Gaishou. "Let's hurry on to find your friends."

They continued on and on running past hallways of endless smelling of dark blood and scary shredded pictures of past kings and queens. As they continued on running, Usopp commented "I'm running out of breath..." To which Nami saw this and yelled "Hurry, up! You idiot! Zoro, Franky, and Brook are counting on us." Usopp continuing on running and muttered "Ok,"simultaneously taking a heavy breath.

[With Zoro, Franky, and Brook]

"Come on, push!" Zoro kept struggling with Franky to push the powerful cell with all their might. Trum doubted "There's no way for you to get out. If we do, the Demon Pirates will make us slaves it's foolish!"

Zoro retorted "Shut up! Or come and help us!"

Trum was stunned by this, but kept silent at Zoro's words. Deep down, however, he was cheering them to break away from this hell-hole. As Zoro and Franky kept pushing, Franky heard something from up ahead. He stopped pushing for awhile and stated "Hey, I think I hear something." As he said that, Zoro stopped pushing and then also noticed something. Or heard something. Coming from a far distance, he could hear footsteps, almost as if someone's running. He saw quickly who was approaching them, "Hey, over here!"

"Who?! Who said that?" said a familiar voice to Zoro, Franky, and now Brook, who quickly rose, but is still weak. brook screamed out of happiness "USSOPPP!"

Quickly the runners kept coming closer, it was Usopp, Nami, Zhen, and Gaishou. "What the?! You guys are here!" shouted the surprised Nami.

"Yeah, we know." Zoro said being aware. Franky and Zoro nodded and decided to push harder this time.

SLAM! SLAM! EXPLOSION!

Usopp fired an exploding star to help the cell bars break as fast Zoro and Franky were cell bars broke and this time everyone was free and cheering that their friends were out. Meanwhile, Zhen noticed someone he hadn't seen in a long time. he yelled out of joy "TRUM!" Trum heard this and turned to see Zhen. "Old friend..." he muttered under his breath. They gave each other a huge hug and tears were shed.

Franky was confused as to what was going.

Zoro didn't care,

Nami was also confused, but emphasized with the hug.

Usopp, like Nami, was also confused, emphasized with the hug.

Brook was still weak and couldn't see what was going on because he was dragging himself on the floor.

Gaishou knew who this man was, and he didn't like what was about to happen.

Trum whispered to him "I missed and am sorry for what happened. I should've been stronger..."

"I know... I know..." whispered Zhen.

That is when Trum and Zhen stopped hugging each other, turned to their new allies, and then Trum started to notice Gaishou. He was astonished and yelled out of rage "What are you doing here?!"

"hey, wa-"pleaded Zhen, but Trum wouldn't listen at all as he prepared to tackle Gaishou and so Gaishou allowed it to happen. Trum tackled him to the floor and began beating him to a pulp.

Franky was going to stop, but Zoroo grabbed him quick enough and stated "Leave him be. He's saddened. Let him sort it out."

"You killed everyone! You made us as slaves!" Trum cried as he kept beating Gaishou. "You saw us and dehumanized as animals. As monsters!" He continued on beating him, especially his face.

"And what do you have to say to yourself?! You damned pirates ruined this land! Ruined our culture! Ruined our traditions! Ruined us as people! Who does this land not belong but to the people here?! This is what the World Government sees you as TRANSGRESSORS! This is the beginning since you've begun to under siege our culture! The principles of our country are brought down, by your so called pirate laws and codes and oppression. it is time to revolt." He tried to punch Gaishou one more time, until someone grabbed Trum's wrist. he was still tearing and turned to see who grabbed him. It was Zhen, looking at his friend with a saddened look on his face.

Zhen shook his head in sadness and shame. "It's not worth it. I've forgiven him."

"What do-" he sniffed. "what do you mean?" he asked again, this time tearfully.

Zhen was about to speak, until Gaishou interrupted him. "No, let him beat me. it's the logical thing to do after seeing you've hurt a lot of people. Seeing yourself and other people tortured. It drives you mad. Insane. In terms of vengeance. I regret everything I did to this country. This poor island. However, Kiken needs to be stopped. If you want to get mad at me, I suppose you should be. I'm now an ally to the Strawhats. I want to correct the mistakes, I've done."

Trum was stunned by his words. He didn't seem to be much as angry as before when seeing Gaishou. "You regret what you did?" Gaishou nodded.

Trum slowly got up, looked at his hands, and started to cry harder "I... forgive...you..."

The Strawhats watched this conversation go on. Their eyes hidden in shadows.

Zhen touched his shoulder and told him that it was ok to cry.

[Meanwhile with Robin]

Robin carried the little reindeer as if she was a mother carrying a baby son or baby daughter to safety in a huge a war. She kept running, and shielded Chopper from any further gunshots from the Demon Guards.

"Come back here! Bitch!" shouted one of them.

'I will never go to them.' Robin thought bravely to keep moving forward, and as soon she kept running. Someone dashed past her. She felt a swirl of wind so quickly but it was almost as if someone pasted her.

"Whose there?" She asked boldly. She kept running and thought 'Someone is watching me run away from the fortress and into the forest. Better keep my eye out.'

Another swirl past her so fast, this someone was behind her. She quickly dashed towards for cover and placed Chopper gently on the ground. Unfortunately, she looked up and someone was already in front to her. It was a demon pirate of course. He looked like Kai, only with two mechanical arms and blonde hair. he didn't have a scar on his face, only a birthmark that seems to overrun all over his face. He still has on black pants, red shirt covered and outlined with black lines going zigzag, and strangely glowing red eyes. Robin stared down this demon, deep down she was afraid of him and yet, he started to grab her by the neck.

He sniffed her, making robin cringe a bit. He sniffed from her neck and started to lick it with his tongue. "Yajirushi would've loved to touch you and that other girl."

She tried to close her eyes and was too tired to push him off her. She asked "Who're you? What do you want?"

"I'm 'Iron Bullet' Juu. The best sniper in my crew. I'm very powerful romantic. I saw you kill Yuka." Robin's eyes widened and filled deeply with regret.

"You regret it, don't you?" He said seductively.

"No." She said, refusing to bend to his will.

"No? How come? It was easy, wasn't it?" He said, again seducing her.

"No, get off me!" Robin squirmed.

Juu screamed "Don't you dare say 'no!' to me! I could gut you like a sea monster! Nico Robin, isn't it?"

Robin tried to use her powers but for some reason weren't working. She was getting worried and hesitant. Her mind was focusing on Chopper. Poor reindeer has been though enough, she thought.

"After I'm done pleasuring myself with you, Nico Robin. I'm going to use all of my anger, my hatred, my loathing for humans. You see Niji and Yajirushi are wrong. With Niji, it's women he hates. With Yajirushi, it's men. With me, it's humans. A dark toll in my past, forgotten by the seas as a hunter," he paused. His eyes shifted towards the forest; he felt a presence using his meditative skills he has built very keenly.

All of sudden, a black object forced itself onto Juu and sent him across dozens of trees.

This black object then turned into a silhouetted figure who then is revealed to be Sanji. He screamed "DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH ROBIN LIKE THAT EVER! YA HEAR ME!"

Robin thanked him real quick decided to stand beside Sanji and fight. He was aware of this and said "No. You've been hurt. I'm not letting of my friends get touched like that."

Robin stayed silent for a minute then said "I understand. But I'm going to fight and rescue Chopper from here." She sprouted feet on Chopper's back and moves forward.

As that was done, Juu came flying towards Robin out of nowhere and with great speed. Sanji shouts "Collier Shoot!" As Sanji kicks Juu's neck, Robin quickly dashes to get to Chopper and grab him.

Juu is pushed back then he shouts "Get out of my way, human!"

Sanji continues to use a barrage of kicks on Juu, though to Juu, it wasn't effecting, thinking his kicks were like pillows.

He quickly grabbed one of Sanji's legs and slammed him into a huge tree, almost breaking it in half.

Juu stepped back a few paces then activated his techno-arm and turned it into a physical arm-gun. He thought to himself 'All humans are scumbags...'

(With Luffy)

Luffy kept running and running with all his might. Muttering to himself "I will defeat you, Kiken..."

As he kept running, he noticed he was on a beach. "Huh?" He questioned as he looked around.

Then a bright red object peeked his interest from his peripheral vision. He jerked his head and saw a huge ship, with a triangular demonic figurehead that could send frightening nightmares to you for days.

"This must be the Demon Pirates' ship." Luffy said to himself. He stretched his arm and gripped onto a railing and with instant speed landed on the deck. "Wow..." He looked around more as he noticed a pile of dead bodies.

Luffy's eyes widened then they darkened under the shadow of his hat. "He's gonna pay for what he did to his crew."

[With Juu and Sanji]

Sanji tried to land in another kick. This time trying to strike at Juu's torso, but Juu fiercely grabbed his leg. With great speed, Sanji landed another kick onto Juu's hand, causing a kneejerk reaction to Juu letting go of Sanji's leg. Sanji then did a 360 degree flip backwards and landed on his two feet.

Each fighter taking a breath, before charging in right at each other. Juu shouted "Demon Gun!" Juu raised and clenched his fists and repeatedly tried beating down on Sanji; Sanji blocked a few of the punches while simeoustantly being punched and kicking back at Juu.

Juu continued with attacks "Demon Gun! 4,500..." He grabbed Sanji and rampaged through a serious of trees and plants. He finished shouting his attack "Bullets!" A weak burst of energy that is utilized by Juu is fired off from his fingertips. Sanji tries to dodge and does so with the very first seven, but after that... it was 4,493 pains from his attacks.

'This.. is... nothing...' Sanji thought-motivated himself to win this fight.

"You can't win. You're powerless. You're weak. Your last fight with Niji has taken all of your energy. Sooner or later... you're going to need to mercy." Juu taunted.

"I'm not gonna need anything." He took a breath and decided to get up quickly from Juu's attack, but a kneejerk reaction of pain prevented him from getting up. 'Damn it..' He cussed in his thoughts as he was useless now.

Juu raised his hand and let out his fingertips be utilized with energy. He boldly claimed "Say goodbye, Strawhat pirate."

Out of nowhere, a voice was heard in the distance, "Exploding Star!" A highly explosive bullet lands on Juu's face. causing to jerk his face to look at the distance and fire his energy technique at the person shouting.

"Who goes there?"

Another shout heard "Exploding Star!" Another highly explosive bullet hits Juu's face. Juu got annoyed and shouted "Bastard! Come out!" He proceeded on firing his energy technique at the nearby trees and even intentionally fired at the Hell Fortress.

There were a lot of disturbing ashy cemented smoke when Juu calmed down and muttered to himself, "Whoever was that... is probably dead..."

Sanji had a blank expression on his face, knowing who it was that was firing those explosive bullets... Usopp.

Juu jerked back to stare at Sanji then a voice shouted again "Hey, Robot Arm Guy!" Juu turned to look back at who was insulting him, it was a long-nosed man that Sanji knew as Usopp.

He shouted "Eat this! Shuriken Shooting Star!" Usopp fires a chain of several attached Shuriken which, when fired, separate into a large spread of shuriken to cover a wider radius and it ended with Juu almost catching all of them.

Usopp shouted "Run! Sanji! Run!"

Sanji couldn't get up and it was too much pain for him to handle as Juu quickly jerked to Sanji and shouts "No! You're gonna stay!"

Juu quickly used the same energy technique as before, which Usopp quickly countered with a lot of exploding Stars along with one Flame Star fired. It didn't effect Juu, but it did annoy him.

Juu dashed very quickly and grabbed Usopp by the throat. Usopp threw a Smoke Star on Juu's face causing him to accidently drop Usopp very roughly on the ground.

Usopp quickly fired yet another Exploding Star this time into one of Juu's robotic arms. Causing it to explode abruptly, Juu reacted worryingly. he shouted "You idiot! What did you do?"

Usopp was surprised by that as Juu charged towards him again, when suddenly a kick of heat went into Juu's solar plexus. It was Sanji using his Diable Jambe kick to defeat Juu.

It fired him off across a few yards away from them. "Sanji, you can move." Usopp cheered.

"Yeah, don't tell anyone about that bud."

"My lips are sealed."

"Where are the others? Did you find Zoro?"

"Yes, we did! Along with Franky and Brook. They're heading to the Central Cove as we speak!"

"Wait, what was Franky and Brook doing with Zoro?"

"No, time to answer questions! Let's move!" Usopp grabbed Sanji by the hand and dragged him onto the pathway where all of their friends went.

[On the top of the Hell Fortress]

Jakku watches from afar. He pulls out a Transponder Snail. "Master, Juu is down."

End. Tune in next Saturday to find out.
