HNNN. Those bastards really don't give up do they? And they always pick the worst times to bring me back!

[Luffy was wandering through the forest for the millionth-umnphtenth time since he first got here, mumbling to himself about how much he hates 'those bastards' and how he wanted to kick Mingo's ass. Well, at the very least The Straw Hat captain took some joy in getting the chance to see some old faces again! He actually wondered who was still here and how much time has past since his last abduction. Eventually, the rubber boy comes to a stop.]

...I wonder if they changed how the village looks.

[Actually, that would be cool right? Some revamps to the structure and what not? That thought actually made him pretty excited! So, instead of just walking like a normal person, Luffy is going to use his rubber powers to literally fling himself into town. Which will inevitably cause him to crash, slam into or break whatever he comes into contact with. Whether that's a bench, or a window, or a person. And when the dust settles, he will just be lying or sitting there with his arms crossed and a disgruntled look on his face.]

EHH!? So, they really didn't change this dump at all!? [He's more concerned about aesthetics than anything else. Don't worry whatever he broke or messed up will be fine! Eventually. In some way or another.]

[Voice]

Oi, guys! Since people always look so bored on the journals, I've been thinking about a new journal game! It's called VERSUS! You just pick two people from Luceti you want to see fight, and other people get to choose who they think'll win! It sounds really cool right!? Yosh, I'll start it!

Goku versus...-- [Hmmmmm.] Vash!


[ooc: SO A MILLION YEARS LATER but here's my intro! Feel free to catch Luffy somewhere in the forest if you want to get him fresh out the gate and not slamming into the ground! I also welcome threadhopping for VERSUS. These discussions are srs bzn yo.]

Well I've been here three years. I'm just not as noisy, I suppose. And besides, you know my name, you know I can do magic, and you know that I can use Anima. That's more than you did when we started talking.

And if you don't want to read, then magic is probably out of the question. But you could try making your haki into a beam and squeezing it at people, probably.

[gomugomunopwn]

[He'll take whatever small victories he can get, even if it's just for a few seconds! Vegeta is moving way too fast, so it's too late for any kind of change in maneuvers now. He's just going to have to keep going with what he's got!

The punches steadily begins to gather more momentum and right now his only plan is to try to stall Vegeta as much as he can, sending down a rain of giant fists at the man and creating large craters on the ground beneath them. He's not thinking about it right now, but later on he's going to hope that this place repairs itself over time still. Otherwise his crew is gonna kill him!]

[misterbrief]

[He is determined not to get hit a second time, but having to dodge this ridiculous amount of strikes is insane. Having to flash from side to side for some of the punches, and flying as fast as he can upwards, it's definitely slowing him down with all the extra movement he has to do. He can hear the ground under him cracking and shattering under the force of Luffy's fists, knowing if he allowed himself to be struck again, it wouldn't be good.

Throwing a blast now wouldn't help either. It'll just explode in his face, even if it does hurt Luffy.

But even so, Luffy's bought himself even more time- but when Vegeta reaches him, he'll be flashing up and above Luffy's head, a double axe-hand strike coming down on his head unless he's got a plan!]

[deathsdoctor]

No.

[Blunt.]

I just cleaned for one.

[And Perona would kill you. But let's stick to boring, no fun reasons for now and test their effectiveness.]

You and I have different definitions of complicated.

[You and your allergies to thinking.]

[STOP BEING SO JUDGY MR. JUDGERSON

SHE'S GETTING MAD]

I haven't seen a rubberman at all, ya know?!

[Voice]

[niceguypose]

Shuriken...? But a true hot-blooded contest between youths should be fought with fists! I'll just have to... keep training until I can hurt you!

[yourhatred]

That's a tough one. I'm afraid I haven't seen Naruto fight recently enough to be able to give you a good estimate.

[Though he would bet against Sanji, should that match occur.]

[generalflirt]

Those people-- aah. Ehto.

I'd say it's more unusual for you to not get sick!

[Voice]

[hollower]

[AUUGH. Luffy, you're lucky this isn't in person, otherwise you'd be kissing the dirt and begging to be reborn as a worm. Thankfully Perona is a mature adult and has a counter to your rudeness.]

But you just thanked me again, so I still get one. Bleeeh, I win, stupid straw hat! [STICKING OUT HER TONGUE.]

[concasse]

[Sanji bears this invasion of food and privacy with all the dignity he can muster (no he is not smiling at his silly captain, shut up), but he does give a gruff sigh when Luffy brings up the dreaded D word.

So much for hugs and reunions B| SWATTING LUFFY AWAY]

Oi oi! This is for Robin-chwan! I didn't get enough shit to feed you!

[pausing... oh right, there's a third person here] But while you're here-- it alright if Ginko stays with us? He's been in the house so far.

... He'll let you have his portions if you say yes.

[Hi, Sanji is an asshole]

[biophilia]

[all that gets is an Mmph. He dunn curr.]

[goldenglasses]

Well, it's not that I don't try to be-

[Wait. What did Itachi just say?] What? Do you really think that? [The way he says that, it sounds like the first time Vash has ever been told that before.]

[goldenglasses]

Luffy! Wait! Didn't you hear the part that going out can make you sick!?

[voice]

[notabluesbro]

Seems like it, doesn't it? People falling in left and right, anyway.

[the_dead_pool2]

If you can beat me in a drinking contest you can bet on Goku instead.

[the_dead_pool2]

Awwwww, he thinks he has a choice in the matter, that is cute.

Voice

[that_is_asecret]

Well, what about a series of random challenges? Some having to do with combative skills, others that deal with other more mundane things, such as cooking a meal, singing, dancing, or fashion. That way it is not simply a matter of who is the better fighter, but also who has the broadest range of skills.

[He laughs]

Though I suppose most fighters wouldn't be brave enough to compete in such un-macho settings.

[selphie_t]

And what if he beats you? What then?

[SELPHIE IS NOT AMUSED.]

[selphie_t]

Ooooooh, I think I can live with that.

[Voice] Threadjack

[deathsdoctor]

... to do that, you'll have to awaken Haki first. Are you sure you're up to that sort of challenge?

Otherwise strength is going to mean little. Fair warning, Mister Lee.

[deathsdoctor]

... hm.

[Vash, you are not cool material in Law's books, okay. You're on his blacklist until you appease him with good meat food.]

[deathsdoctor]

Me too.

[Voice] Threadjack

[niceguypose]

Ah... Is that so... [He ponders thoughtfully.]

...

...Where can I find this sleeping Haki fellow?

[Voice] Threadjack

[deathsdoctor]

Within yourself.

... Haki is a power possessed by all living beings. It just remains dormant in most people. So perhaps there is potential for you...

[Voice] Threadjack

[niceguypose]

Ah! It is a power? That is incredible! It... it would be wonderful to utilize it! [But he's never had much luck with using internal powers.]
