0.13: The Power of the First Williams.

The battle almost concluded outdoors, as the men and the rest of the crew overpowered the ladies after Konami's departure. Sasha was the one eliminating the most out of anger for being unable to save Konami.

"DAMN IT ALL!"

Haruki looked around and couldn't count the number of mannequins on the floor. But he was glad it was soon to be over. Suddenly, arrows from above were fired at Sasha, who was too far away from everyone to gain cover.

"SASHA LOOK OUT!!" Yuri alerted.

But she was wide open for an apparent hit.

CLANG!! CLANG!!

...

Sasha opened her eyes and saw an electric barrier saved her.

"Almost missed to save you there, Sash!"

Brianna arrived just in time to save her.

"You...you came back? But why did you save me?"

"I may not be Tedashii's friend, but that does not mean I'm not yours. Come on, let's save him together!"

Sasha smiled, and they tagged together to fight.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tedashii kept running down the corridor as he felt Konami's spiritas languishing.

"I have to hurry up!"

He found himself in the first room, where he saw Doku watering a potted plant in the middle of nowhere.

"...Doku?" He called out to him.

"Yes, Master Fugin. It is just I here."

Tedashii wondered what he was doing in a place like this, but he didn't want to get slowed down, so he began walking past Doku.

"I'm truly sorry, but I cannot let you pass, Young Fugin..." Doku said, taking out his Immortal Armament; Regen: The loyal Battle Axe.

Tedashii dodged and then summoned Hiragana.

"Come on, Doku! We don't have to do this! Konami is in grave danger as we speak! I need to save her, please!!"

But Doku closed his eyes and then charged up his spiritas.

"I'm a loyal servant, and with that being said...THE KING'S ORDER WAS TO GARROTTE YOU!!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lady entered the main area with Konami and Sanji. She opened the door leading to her base and looked at Sanji.

"KING Cheyzar! Why do you look so distressed? We won! Sure, they have taken over the castle...taken down your entire army...killed all the citizens. But with THIS, fate seals the entire battle!" She said.

"What are you going to do with her Lady?" Sanji asked while shunning eye contact.

"I'll absorb her spiritas; then her Revlo will be mine!"

Sanji looked up. "WHAT! That will kill her!"

"Who cares...Sanji, you get this!"

She took out the last memory shard and laid it in Sanji's pocket.

"You are now going to defeat Tedashii in an instant! Don't worry; your life is only going to get better!"

She then took Konami and walked into her base.

"Oh, and one more important thing..." Lady said. "If Tedashii does reach here, KILL him. Then I'll absorb his as well."

She closed her door shut. Sanji then sat on his throne and dropped his face in his hands.

"Am I doing the right thing...all this for power?"

He then remembered what Konami said, making him realize how much of a mistake all this was. But in the end, he wanted to prove his point and feed his unpolished desire for power and strength. And that left him with the final step to becoming the most muscular Ronin alive.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CLASH!!

Tedashii and Doku were still fighting, with Doku having the advantage due to the battle with weapons. He then made Tedashii let go of Hiragana, leaving him vulnerable.

"GOODBYE, MASTER FUGIN!"

Doku said as he went for his final swing at Tedashii's throat.

~ENHANCE MY ENERGY!!~

SLASH!!

Ultimately, Tedashii finished off by stabbing Doku in his chest with his bare hand.

"Ugh...ah..gulp..."

"I'm sorry...Doku. But someone has to stop Sanji." Tedashii said, then took his hand out of Doku's chest. Before he fell to the ground, Tedashii caught him and laid him on the floor.

"M...Master Fugin..."

"Don't talk. Try to breathe." Tedashii advised him.

"Ple...ase save...Prin...cess Konami...I won't..forgive...myself of anything...happened..to her..."

Tedashii took his hand and laid it on his heart.

"I promise you; I'll set everything right. Once and for all."

Doku pointed to the pot. It sprouted into a blossomed flower during their battle. Tedashii took it out and laid it right beside him. "...Thank...you..." was his death rattle as he died with a saluting gesture on the floor. Tedashii helped him, closed his eyes for the last time, and turned back into a puppet. Tedashii watched him vanish with tears; the anger resided again. When he got up, he clenched his fist and stared at the last door. Still painting from his few injuries after his fight against Doku, this fight had to be fast.

"SANJI!!!"

He kicked the door open and saw him sitting on his throne with the memory shard in his hand.

"You killed Doku, not surprised...but that was also a human at first."

Tedashii said nothing and kept on walking toward him.

"Where is Konami?!" He asked.

Sanji smiled and pointed to the door behind his throne.

"Right there, if you can get past me." Sanji then ate the shard.

Tedashii stopped and began to build spiritas.

"Let's get this over with then, Sanji!"

"This is it, Tedashii. I will kill you again, but this time...I will make sure you die before my eyes!!"

~ ENHANCE MY ENERGY!!~ ~SECOND TO NONE!!~

BOOM!!

They both summoned their Immortal, but this would mean the last time for one of them.

Tedashii charged at him with a fist, and Sanji did the same.

CLASH!! KICK!! CLASH!!

Tedashii kicked Sanji to the ground, but Sanji jumped back up and vanished before his eyes.

"What?"

He grabbed Tedashii from the back, and Nelson locked him in his arms. He then flew down and dragged his face down the stairs.

BAM!! BAM!! BAM!! BAM!! BAM!!

Tedashii grabbed his neck and then pushed it onto the last step.

BAM!!

They both got up, and Tedashii took the lead in the barrages. Sanji blocked all of his hits, and then he summoned Rotanoria.

SLASH!!

Tedashii was carved by it on his chest, then reverted to distance.

WIND PROWESS: RAVEN STORM!!

Two tornadoes gorged out from his palm and towards Sanji. He then slashed them in half, but Tedashii was already gone.

"Huh??"

"TAKE THIS!"

HIT!!

Tedashii got Sanji on his head with a double axe handle.

SMASH!!

He followed with a kick to his knee.

CRACK!!

Knee to the face.

HIT!!

Kick to the jaw, then finished with a roundhouse kick to his waist.

KICK!!

THUD!!

Sanji was propelled to the throne, but Tedashii came with more force and fired a wind bullet to increase the speed.

THUD!!

The throne was destroyed, and all that was in his way was a defeated king. But Sanji just laughed and stood right back up. Tedashii could not believe it. All his effort was shaken off that easily, and he was almost at his limit.

"Is that all you got? Let's get serious!" Sanji said.

Tedashii charged up more spiritas and took his stance.

"Hell no! I was just getting started!"
