0.04: The invincible Suzuki

The following day came as Tedashii and Sanji were left in a chamber, tied back-to-back with the bags still obscuring their vision.

"Sanji, can you scratch my back?" Tedashii asked.

"I CAN'T EVEN SCRATCH MY OWN, SO SHUT UP!!" Sanji was furious at their current situation.

All went quiet for a minute.

"Sanji, I'll scratch your back if you scratch-"

"I DON'T WANT YOU TO SCRATCH MY BACK!! CAN'T YOU SEE OUR CURRENT SITUATION??!!"

Tedashii then thought to himself.

"Yes, I can't see. They bagged us, remember?"

Sanji hit Tedashii on the back with his head.

"OUCH!" Tedashii hit him back.

And they kept inflicting a headbutt for another. The guard slammed the gate open.

"Alright, you two! Time to eat!"

She took off their bags and untied them without glancing at their faces. Tedashii got up to attack her, but the guard blasted him away with a wind punch.

SLAM!!

He coughed so much to the point he couldn't regain his breath. She left their meal on the floor and then locked the gate again.

"Hey Tedashii, are you alright?!"

"Sanji...she used Wind Prowess. How is that possible??"

Sanji was just as startled. They looked down at their food- at least moderate—rice balls and water, with some meat for the two of them. Tedashii was ready to dig in, but Sanji stopped him.

"Are you crazy?!! What if it's poisoned?"

"Only one way to find out! I'm hungry!!"

He pushed Sanji aside and took a bite. Sanji kept trying to stop Tedashii, but he had already swallowed it. They stared at each other, and minutes later, Sanji also went to eat.

After they both finished, they regained some spiritas to fight back.

"Alright. We are going to escape, and I have a plan." Sanji said.

The guards were asleep during patrolling and suddenly heard Tedashii scream.

"HELP! SOMEBODY HELP!!"

They ran to his cell and only saw Tedashii inside.

"Where is your criminal friend?!" One of them asked.

Sanji appeared from above. He hit one of the guards on the nape, leaving her unconscious. The other guard tried to attack him, but Tedashii kicked her to the gate. They finished the rest of their meat and took off.

The members of the royal family all gathered up in the church. Doku was on the side of the throne, with a lady and a masked boy sitting on the side thrones. She looked around and noticed that two of her guards weren't present.

"Guard 115 and 116 are missing?" She asked Doku.

He looked around, and then it came to his mind.

"Don't worry, your majesty. We won't have to worry about that…" Doku then pointed at the masked boy; she then smiled.

All the people sat down, either on their thrown or seats of hierarchy. Doku stood at the front and looked at the door.

"Ladies and Baronets. Thank you all for gathering here on short notice. With such a gracious day, we had to be enlisted into fear. Two male outsiders were found on our rooftops. It looks like they came from Punk Knock! So that is why we will rejoice!! And witness the power of the NUMBER ONE SOLDIER OF THE KINGDOM!!! SUZUKI~!!!!"

The crowd got to their feet and began to cheer. The masked boy then got up and walked towards Doku.

"But there is a twist, ladies and Baronets. We have set some earplugs near your seats. We will need you to please put them on."

All the guests were confused; others were annoyed by such a lackluster request. But knowing Doku, they knew he was a man who wouldn't say something without purpose. So they set them in their ears. Doku smiled and gave Suzuki two bags.

"Cover their faces. Nobody should see them before the execution."

Suzuki grabbed the bags and then stood up. He pulled the face mask off and relaxed his cheeks. The new guests were perplexed, asking themselves how could a mere kid be the best of all the Queen's 500. But there was a reason why. He had a Mythical Prowess! With both bags in his hand, he opened his eyes wide, and they shined red.

"MARCO!!" He yelled.

All the ladies began to laugh and mutter, but the Queen and Doku did not wipe the smile on their faces.

Tedashii and Sanji began running around the castle. With 37 of the guards they encountered knocked out, they were confident to make it through alive.

"Sanji. This is a piece of cake!!" Tedashii said.

"Your right. But let's not let our guard down. With this momentum, we could even-POLO!." Sanji suddenly blurted out Polo midway through his sentence.

Tedashii stopped running and looked back at him.

"What?…"

"I…I don't what the-POLO!!." Sanji repeated it.

Tedashii did not find this funny at all.

"Sanji… you're scaring the POLO!!." It happened to Tedashii as well.

Suzuki began to glow, and the lights in the room subdued. The guests were startled, and suddenly, everyone looked at the ground. Both Tedashii and Sanji were highlighted beneath the church. And for every time they were forced to say Polo, their outlines shined brighter. So Suzuki ran through the open window and broke his way underground. He charged toward Tedashii and Sanji, who had their backs turned.

SNATCH!!

Suzuki blinded them with the bags and hit them both on their heads. They both fell, and Suzuki returned them to the church. As he arrived, the crowd could do nothing less than give him a standing ovation. With applause from every corner of the room, Doku and the Queen they have praised their fine warrior.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! LADIES AND BARONETS, SUZUKI~!!!"

He bowed with a smile through his mask and then tossed the hostages on the floor. Tedashii and Sanji woke up, and all they could hear was the soft chatter of every woman in the room.

"Sanji, we got caught…." Tedashii said as he stood up.

"That could not be more obvious!" Sanji also got up. But they were tied up again before attempting to remove the bags.

"Well, Well, Well. Look at the filth! You, males, have no reason to be in this palace of beauty. WERE YOU GUYS JUMPING HERE TO RAPE THE DEAR LADIES IN OUR KINGDOM?!" Doku kept defaming them.

"What? That's dumb! I don't even know which ones are the pretty ones!" Tedashii said.

All the ladies scram, as the idea of them being terrorists is set in stone.

"DISGUSTING!!!" Doku kicked Tedashii to the walls, but Tedashii reacted quickly and jumped onto it. He boosted himself towards Doku and struck him on the head with a fast kick.

SMACK!!

Doku fell to the ground, and his nose was bleeding. The guards strained Tedashii and Sanji to the ground. He then got up and took one of the guard's swords.

"UNVEIL THESE HOOLIGANS!! I WANT TO WITNESS MY VICTIM FOR SUCH DISRESPECT THEY'VE SHOWN TOWARDS ME!!!" Doku had lost it.

"WAIT!!"

Everyone gasped. Yuri and Sasha finally made it to the church but were also in a bad state. Being forced to listen to the Zoloc's song for 24 hours, they looked like they hadn't slept for months. Their clothes were shattered due to the multiple times they were sent warping, and their hair spoke for itself.

"Miladies? I was looking for you guys. Where did you guys… wander off to?" Doku asked as he had a face of disgust over their state.

"Listen, Diku. Those small things that wandered around told us it took 24 hours to make it here. So why would we-"

"24 hours?! Our ladies in our castle don't deserve the punishment of walking for so long. And no, you must be mistaken. It takes 24 minutes, so I was looking for you before I left." Doku interrupted Yuri to correct her.

"ARGH!! I KNEW WE WERE BEING PLAYED FROM THE BEGINNING!" Sasha yelled out.

"Sasha?" Sanji asked as he recognized her voice.

She and Yuri looked behind Doku and saw Tedashii and Sanji bagged and strained to the ground.

"…"

Silence struck in the church.

"You guys know each other?" Doku asked them as his face retaliated against them.

"W-What…No, NO! I have never seen them in my life, right Sasha?" Yuri tried to defend herself.

"What are you talking about? That is Ted-" Yuri's hands covered Sasha's mouth, but the truth was already out.

Doku snapped his fingers, and the guards attacked them. Yuri sighed and took her stance2, 'Rapha". The first guard went for a swing, but Yuri stopped it with her hair band. She slammed the guard face-first to the ground and grabbed her Sai from the back of her belt. Sasha attacked two of the guards with her crystal prowess. And when the path was cleared, they both took off for Doku. He parried Yuri's Sai but was wide open for Sasha to attack.

"Nightly Night, DIKU!!"

SLAM!!

Sasha felt a knee to her stomach and connected with the wall. Yuri tried to attack but was also kicked in her stomach. The crowd came closer to see what had happened, but smoke covered all the action. As it all cleared out, only one person was left standing. SUZUKI, who took out both Yuri and Sasha all on his own.

Doku would have died in his eyes, but Suzuki wrote his destiny.

"That… THAT'S ENOUGH!!"

The guards tied Yuri and Sasha and threw them next to the others.

Doku grabbed a handkerchief and wiped the blood off his face.

"I've had enough surprises." He walked towards the four ronins.

"So you four must be from Punk Knock. But I had no idea they had ladies-...no hookers down there."

"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME YOU GRANDMA WANNABE??!" Sasha yelled out before Doku kicked her in the face.

"As you can see. In this church, THIS KINGDOM, there are only women. The guards, the Baronets, the maids. Not a single male besides me and my precious Suzuki is welcome here. But beneath the rooftops…are your kind!" Doku points at Tedashii and Sanji. "Males are disgusting filth! Only one man was acknowledged by all the women here. And that was Cheyzar Monk-Wu! He will forever be remembered."

Doku lifted the axe. All the ladies began to blow their fans and whistles while the guards hoisted Tedashii and Sanji up.

"I have HAD IT with your existence. REMOVE THEIR BAGS!!"

The guards removed their bags right before Doku could swing for the kill.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!"

The whole room couldn't believe what they were seeing.

"Th…This can't-No WAY…You…Y-You are…"

Tedashii and Sanji were lost. They were ready to fight against the guards, but even they dropped their weapons. The Queen jumped off her throne and slowly walked towards them.

"Ch…Cheymo? Is…that you?" She asked.

And then the attention was set on Sanji.

"...What?" He froze in place. A gorgeous lady like her, talking to a reject of a man like him.

Out of all the people seeing this, Yuri was not amazed. That was her boyfriend everyone was admiring.

"It's been five years since the war. I…I was devastated when they told me you were killed. Where were you all this time?" She asked.

"Huh?" He was still lost.

"Wait, who is he?" Tedashii asked.

"MASTER FUGIN! That is not a joke at all!!" Doku said to Tedashii.

"Fugin?" Tedashii asked.

Two guards came with a family photo. But to be realistic, they were forced to carry the family sculpture into the church. When they dropped it, everyone began to cry. Tedashii and Sanji looked around and began to blush.

"Cheymo honey, don't you remember me?" She asked.

"H-HONEY?!" Sanji went red.

Doku was in tears and hugged Tedashii. Tedashii pushed him off and asked again what was going on.

"Young master Fugin. Don't you see on the statue?" Doku said and pointed at the statue. "That man, right there, is the rightful king of this castle, his wife, The Queen, and their firstborn son, Fugin. YOU are the next heir to the throne, FUGIN FUSHIGIRI!"

Doku then ran to Sanji and lifted him near the statue.

"AND YOU ARE THE KING OF OUR CASTLE, CHEYZAR MONK-WU!! AND THE HUSBAND TO THE QUEEN, MIKOTO ALCHRONO!!"

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!"
