64 Battle of the Full Moon pt. 3

Crocodile grabbed onto Thirteen's arm with his left hand and his eyes shined with madness as he shouted "DIE!" Thirteen's arm started to wither becoming skinny, until he swatted Crocodile away.

Crocodile crumbled into sand and disappeared into the ground, dodging the palm as Thirteen looked at his shriveled arm.

Suddenly!

Something terrible happened.

The cuff on Thirteen's right arm slid off to the ground.

Crocodile watched as the cuff hit the ground, Zoro's eyes widened and he said "We need to start! Now!" Luffy and the others looked at him in confusion and Zoro said seriously "He was fast with that on, what if he doesn't have it on anymore?"

Their eyes widened, except for Smoker, who frowned and asked "What are you talking about?" Zoro merely pointed at Thirteen.

Their conversation seemed to be a long one but it was actually extremely fast as the cuff hit the ground finally.

The air was silent as the island started shaking.

It was a split second before an extremely loud boom was heard.

A small pit appeared before it got bigger and bigger, swallowing nearly all the surroundings.

The Beast roared and its right arm swelled back to normal, Crocodile looked at the Beast in shock before grinning.

He reformed and spread his hands out, his right one being made of sand. He looked at the Beast and said "Come on!" The Beast growled and his lower right side twisted to stop the bleeding, he was missing a solid chunk there.

The Beast disappeared before reappearing in front of Crocodile and throwing a punch with its right arm. The punch was near invisible and Crocodile's eyes widened, his face becoming hyper focused as he made a hole in his body.

The Beast's punch went right through but before Crocodile could close it on his wrist, the arm came back and punched him again in the face. The Beast was only slightly unsealed as it used only its right arm, throwing punches faster than anything before.

The punches were getting blurry before they started snapping at the end, shooting blasts of air, destroying more of the ruins that were Alubarna.

Crocodile got up and dodged the punches, covering his arms in black as he blocked the punches, pushing from the side to avoid the air blasts. The duo disappeared and reappeared in the air, Crocodile thrusted his arm covered in a spike of black sand at Thirteen's stomach.

Thirteen slapped the spike and roundhouse kicked Crocodile only to be blocked by a shield of sand. The Beast roared and flipped in the air, slamming its tail on Crocodile's head, sending him back to the ground to merge with the sand.

The Beast kicked the air and shot down into the ground. It landed and sniffed the air before punching through the ground over and over again.

Crocodile jumped out from behind him and thrusted a spike at his head, the beast tilted its head at the last second and swung its elbow behind him, smashing the bloody elbow into Crocodile's face, blasting him flying through the city.

The Beast jumped after him but was blocked by a sandstorm. Crocodile shot out of the sandstorm and the Beast slapped him, but Crocodile exploded into sand. The Beast looked confused and looked at the sand in front of him.

Suddenly, 4 more Crocodiles shot out of the Sandstorm at him, thrusting black sand spikes at him. The Beast swung the chain on its left arm, hitting the first 3 Crocodiles but the last one disappeared and reappeared under the Beast, stabbing it in the same place he stabbed before.

The Beast roared in pain once more and kneed Crocodile into the air. The Beast jumped immediately and threw a punch with its right arm, destroying the sandstorm with pure power, before grabbing Crocodile's collar with its left hand and punching him with his right.

The Beast rode Crocodile back into the ground, punching him into a bloody mess before stomping on his stomach and slamming him into the ground. The Beast jumped off Crocodile into the air before flipping and shooting back down, slamming its tail into the ground.

Crocodile rolled over and kicked at the Beast's head but the Beast had enough and grabbed Crocodile's leg. It opened its jaws and all its teeth turned black before it attempted to bite down on Crocodile's leg.

Unfortunately, a fist smashed the Beast in the jaw and the bite missed. The Beast growled at the newcomers as it swung Crocodile around, ignored the spike of sand as it shot its head forward and heabutted Crocodile unconscious.

Crocodile spayed blood from his mouth as his eyes blurred into unconsciousness. The Beast threw him into a building and stood up to face the new group which was Luffy, Sanji, Zoro, and Smoker.

Smoker said "Go get him, Tashigi." before clenching his fists ready to fight.

Luffy said "Throw me." Sanji reeled his leg back and Luffy jumped as Sanji kicked, shooting off his leg at Thirteen, slinging his arms back and forth.

Luffy's fists turned into a gatling gun as they pelted the Beast while the Beast tried to block it with its right arm.

Sanji kicked Zoro and jumped in after him as Smoker shot forward as well.

The final 4v1 was starting again.

The Beast continued blocking as Zoro appeared on his right side, slashing at the already bleeding wound, saying "Sorry, Big Cat." Thirteen punched him in the face with his left hand and Zoro took the fist to the chin.

However!

Zoro roared and spun his entire body, "Three Thousand Worlds!" slashing Thirteen's wound and torso to his left shoulder before falling to the ground, unconscious.

Thirteen backed off as Luffy continued to pelt him with his fists, the Beast roared in pain and anger as it continued trying to block but its movements started slowing down.

Sanji appeared under the Beast and swept his leg at the Beast's feet. The Beast kicked at Sanji's head only for Sanji to push off the ground with one hand and dodge it. Sanji spun in the air and slammed his heel on the wound Crocodile made before landing on the ground.

The Beast ignored Luffy's punches and took the damage from them as he punched with his right arm faster than Sanji could react. Sanji took the punch to the stomach and grinned, blood escaping his lips as he said "Anti-Manner Kick Course!"

His right leg shot up 180 degrees and nailed the Beast under its snout, knocking him in the air. Sanji fell to his knees and passed out with a hand on his stomach and a grin on his face.

Luffy reeled his arms back and shot them forward, slamming his palms on Thirteen's chest, smashing him into the ground away from Sanji, moving forward as he continuously pushed the Beast back.

Smoker shot in between Luffy and Thirteen, shouting "Strawhat!" Luffy jumped in the air and threw his arms back, twisting them at the same time.

Smoker's lower body was all smoke and shot him towards Thirteen like a rocket. He positioned his arms back and tackled Thirteen, grabbing him back the waist. The Beast stomped on the ground and slid back as Smoker continued propelling himself. The Beast roared and elbowed Smoker with both elbows, while kneeing him at the same time.

But Smoker didn't move as blood escaped his lips and he coughed "NOW!" The Beast looked up and roared in madness as Luffy flew down at him from the sky. Smoker planted his feet into the ground and Luffy passed through him to the sand before whipping his arms forward, shouting "BAZOOKA!"

His arms flew forward, through Smoker's head, and slammed into the Beast's stomach, the Beast coughed out blood as Smoker let go and it was sent flying through several buildings.

Smoker coughed and said "Good job…" before landing on the ground face first. Luffy was breathing heavily and walked over to Thirteen before getting a punch thrown at him. Luffy dodged the ridiculously slow punch and spun backwards, slamming the back of his fist into the Beast's jaw.

The Beast roared in exhaustion before swaying and holding its side. Luffy watched as the Beast tried to stand up again. He grinned and kicked the beast in the face, sending it flying, as he said "That's enough, Thirteen."

Thirteen fell into the pit created by his cuff and looked at it, his arm stretched to the cuff and touched it before his fur started to recede slowly.

The moon was starting to set as dawn broke the sky.

Luffy walked over to the pit and looked at Thirteen back to normal in the pit but completely unconscious with his cuff back on. Luffy grinned before swaying and falling flat on his face.
