"450 hundred times more powerful than dynamite. I am strong, but not akin to walking wastelands like Godzilla." Dio spoke up after sipping the blood/wine mixture.
If you permit a humble opinion, Mr. Lee, I believe the paragraph and the story would benefit if the line saying "walking wastelands like Godzilla" was replaced by something like "walking Godzilla-level wastelands" or "Godzilla-level walking wastelands", to keep the alliteration. The way it is now, it left in me the impression that they fought the monster, or considered fighting it. (Of course, that may be only me!)
Also, sorry for bothering you, but it seems Alucard won. So, why is he glad he didn't get what he wanted from Dio (as he refused his bet)? Or did the match end in a tie?

Actually, Dio won the battle and there was such obvious wank that even Dio feels dirty for it.⬆️⬆️ I see. Thank you. It's just the Godzilla reference was kind of distracting.If you permit a humble opinion, Mr. Lee, I believe the paragraph and the story would benefit if the line saying "walking wastelands like Godzilla" was replaced by something like "walking Godzilla-level wastelands" or "Godzilla-level walking wastelands", to keep the alliteration.

Fairly certain that if you read the snip leading up to it, you'd understand the context though.
Regardless, I think we've rambled on long enough on DB.

....So am I the only one who liked that fight?
I'm in the same boat. It was beautiful in the beatdown department, and I actually liked the stand joke this time around. I still call bullshit on Alucard losing, though
Might be best to take this convo to the Death Battle thread

[SAO]
One-Hit Wonder
"This is stupid," said Lisbeth. "My pride as a blacksmith makes me despise this design of yours, Asuna."
"Come on, Liz, do me this solid," asked the girl.
"No, don't come to talk to me about solids! What you're asking me is insane! Irresponsible! Harebrained! It's something that I expected of Kirito, but not of you!"
"...I didn't hear you say that's impossible to do."
The newer looper sighed.
"When we eventually go to Eiken, I'm so blaming you."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Mommy, don't you think that you're taking these challenges a little to the extreme?"
"Why do you ask me that, Yui?"
"Well..."
The girl glanced at her mother, or, more precisely, to the helmet she was wearing, a leather headpiece with a red number one on the forehead.
"A boss rush with only one point of health seems pretty risky."
"You worry too much, Yui. I got this in the bag-"
Suddenly, the boss that Asuna was facing, a cyclops called "Armada, the Smith," breathed fire. The fencer was a little too late to dodge the attack, getting fire on her dress.
"Aw, crap," said the Anchor, as she started to dissolve in polygons...
Only to be hit by something on the head. Something that dissolved in thin air, stopping the Anchor from dissolving.
"Sorry, Mommy! I didn't mean to aim the Divine Stone of Returning Soul there!"
The girl grumbled, dizzyingly walking away, only to Armada hit her with his hammer, sending her flying against one of the boss room walls.
Another stone to the head. The fencer glanced at her daughter, whistling innocently.
"Great. Kirito's sense of humor has contaminated you."
"Mommy, I must warn you that I have a limit of stones that I can produce. So, please, give up this idea for now."
The Anchor grumbled.
"Betrayed by my daughter...how does she doesn't say these things to her father?" asked herself, taking off the piece of armor.
"If it'll make you feel better, I have an idea to use this item, Mommy."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Heathcliff! Look at the item I just found!"
The creator of the game glanced at the mysterious item, mildly surprised. He was sure that he hadn't programmed a helmet as odd as the one that his second-in-command was wearing. "Probably it's something that the Cardinal System created."
"Hm. What's so odd about it, besides the design?"
"When I put it, my speed stat skyrocket. Like, I'm sure that it doubled it."
"Double? In the hands of a player as naturally fast as Asuna? This item is almost game-breaking!"
"May I give it a look?" asked the shielder, loudly.
The girl shrugged, transferring the item from her inventory to Heathcliff.
The man equipped the item while looking at his stats. However, he didn't see any change in the menu, except one.
"I think you're wrong, Asuna. All that this does is set a person's health to 1-"
Asuna hit Heathcliff with a flick. The man disappeared in a burst of polygons.
"Hm. Pretty boring," remarked the Anchor. "And I lost the One-Hit Wonder."
The girl sighed as she opened the menu to log out.
"Who would think that being able to kill the boss in one hit would be boring? The other loopers make it look awesome!"

So, from what I understood from your comments, those two "The Ultimate Vampire" shorts were the framing for a non-ILP fanfiction published somewhere else, and made part of this universe canon by "sandwiching" it between them? A really interesting device, although I believe you could've provided the link for the "main fight", so those not "in the know" —like me— wouldn't be so confused.
EDIT: Forgot to ask —Where has the "main fight" been posted?

[SAO/Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal]
Card Shark
"Hey! Dreamer boy! Are you going to back off now?"
"Hm. New loop," thought Kazuto, slowly taking conscience of the fact that there was a guy in blue trash-talking him. "Ok, what is going on now?"
He felt the memories of his Unawake self penetrating his head. His name was Kazuto Tsukumo. He was the son of Kazuma and Mira Tsukumo, lived at Heartland City, studied in the Heartland Academy, and what else?
"So? You dare to lift your hand against me?"
Oh, right. That guy.
He gave a good look at the boy. He was more or less the same age as Kazuto. He had purple hair, a part of it being light-blue on the front, and was wearing a purple jacket with gray cuffs, a maroon shirt, dark blue pants, and white shoes. According to his loop memories, the name of that person was Reginald Kastle. His nickname is Shark.
And he was about to face it in a duel for a friend's deck.
"So? You came here only to look at me with your dumb, loopy face?"
"A looper, then," thought the swordsman.
"Sorry. I just Woke," said Kazuto. "I truly thought that you would run away like a chicken, knowing who you're facing."
"Hmph. As if I was afraid of someone who never won a duel."
"Oh, come on, he must - holy shit, it's not hyperbole. My baseline self sucks at Duel Monsters!"
Not that he was much better: he only knew the game superficially, from talks with Joey from the first Yu-Gi-Oh loops and the little he saw in hub loops. But damn, he had at least ripped one or two games when he was starting. Sure, there wasn't Xyz summon (there wasn't a monster that was XYZ?), but he was sure he could deal with it.
"No better day to start than now."
Shark snapped his tongue.
"Let's finish this quick. I have better things to do."
The two activated their Duel Gazers silently (Kirito decided to remember himself to analyze the project of the gazers before the end of the loop), as a robotic voice said, "AR Vision, Link Established." At the same time, the two duelists said:
"DUEL!"
Kazuto: 4000 LP/Hand: 5
Shark: 4000 LP/ Hand: 5
Kirito heard the voices of his friends cheering for him, but his focus was on the duel that began.
"My turn," said him.
He nearly went for his deck to draw a card, but the memories of the rules stopped him right on track. He decided to disguise the gesture by putting his left hand on top of the cards in his right hand as if choosing which one to play first. He finally decided on his opening play.
"I Normal Summon Noble Knight Peredur."
A blonde knight mounted on a black stallion appeared at Kirito's field.
[Noble Knight Peredur/Level 4/LIGHT/Warrior/Effect/1900 ATK/300 DEF]
"Now, I equip him with the Spell card Noble Arms -Caliburn! While equipped with a monster, Caliburn increases its attack by 500! Also, while equipped with a 'Noble Arms' spell, Peredur's level increases by one, and his attribute becomes DARK."
A blade with two glowing blue lines replaced Peredur's sword, while a dark aura appeared around him.
[Noble Knight Peredur/Level 5/DARK/Warrior/Effect/2400 ATK/300 DEF]
"I activate Caliburn's special effect! Once per turn, when equipped to a monster, I can increase my life points by 500!"
The lines of the sword glowed as Caliburn's effect activated.
Kirito: 4500 LP
"I end my turn by equipping Noble Arms of Destiny to Peredur."
A lustrous shield appeared in Peredur's opposite hand.
"Now, give me your best shot."
Shark glared.
"You're being too cocky for someone known as an eternal loser. My turn! I draw!"
Kazuto: 4500 LP/Hand: 2
Shark: 4000 LP/ Hand: 6
Shark glanced at his hand, picking his first card to play.
"I Normal Summon Big Jaws!"
A shark with many teeth and a sharp fin appeared on Shark's field.
[Big Jaws/Level 4/Fish/WATER/Effect/1800 ATK/300 DEF]
"He won't be here for too long, however. By Tributing him, I can Special Summon Sharkraken!"
As Big Jaws disappeared in particles of light, a purple shark appeared in his place. As the name indicated, he also had tentacles, as a squid would have.
[Sharkraken/Level 6/Fish/WATER/Effect/2400 ATK/2100 DEF]
"Hm. Not bad," said Kazuto. "But we're still tied. Are you going for mutual destruction?"
"No chance in hell," said Shark. "You knight is going down. I activate the Spell, Aqua Jet, targeting Sharkraken! Until the end of the turn, it gains a 1000 ATK!"
The beast of the depths roared as a pair of turbines appeared on his sides.
[Sharkraken/Level 6/Fish/WATER/Effect/3400 ATK/2100 DEF]
"Now, let me show you why I was a pro! Sharkraken, smash that puny knight!"
The beast roared, turbines blazing as it went in Peredur's direction.
"Quoting a friend of mine, are you sure about that?"
As Sharkraken tried to bite Peredur, the knight fought back, using the shield of Noble Arms of Destiny as a way to protect himself. Finally, he managed to force the Fish to retreat.
Kazuto: 3500 LP
"What? Why wasn't your monster destroyed?" asked Shark.
"This is the effect that Noble Arms of Destiny grants when equipped to a monster," explained Kirito. "It protects him from being destroyed once per turn."
Shark huffed, unsatisfied that his plan didn't work.
"I set two cards, ending my turn. When that happens, the effect of Aqua Jet ends, returning Sharkraken's attack to normal."
[Sharkraken/Level 6/Fish/WATER/Effect/2400 ATK/2100 DEF]
"You got lucky, Kazuto. You're soon going down."
"That's what we're going to see. My turn!"
Kazuto: 3500 LP/Hand: 3
Shark: 4000 LP/ Hand: 1
Kazuto glanced at his hand, picking a card.
"As Peredur is the only monster in my field, I can equip Assault Armor to it, increasing its attack for 300!"
Perenur's dark glow gained a yellowish tone.
[Noble Knight Peredur/Level 5/DARK/Warrior/Effect/2700 ATK/300 DEF]
"Then, I activate Assault's Armor second effect! By sending it to the Graveyard, I can allow a monster of mine to attack twice this turn!"
The yellow aura disappeared, substituted by a white one, giving Peredur's energy a grey tone.
[Noble Knight Peredur/Level 5/DARK/Effect/Warrior/2400 ATK/300 DEF]
"I activate Caliburn's effect! I will increase my life points by 500!"
Kazuto: 4000 LP
"Then, I equip Noble Arms - Gallatin to my monster!"
The Caliburn in Peredur's elongated itself, becoming almost half as tall as the knight.
"While Noble Arms -Gallatin is equipped to a monster, his ATK increases by 1000!"
[Noble Knight Peredur/Level 5/DARK/Warrior/Effect/3400 ATK/300 DEF]
"In exchange, my monster loses 200 ATK at the start of every turn of mine. But this won't matter. With this, I finish the game. Battle! Peredur, make sushi out of that monster!"
Diligently, the knight obeyed his owner's orders, slashing Sharkraken in half. Shark grunted, feeling the impact on his life points.
Shark: 3000 LP.
"With that, you lose! Attack, Peredur!"
The knight made his mount speed up, preparing a deadly strike.
"I'll not let you win so easily! I activate the Continuous Trap, Bubble Bringer!"
Before Peredur could hit its target, a wall of bubbles appeared in front of him, diverging him from Shark.
"I can activate this card in response to a direct attack to negate it."
Kirito snapped his tongue. Shark managed to avoid defeat on that turn. But he still managed to destroy Sharkraken.
"I set one card, ending my turn."
"Hm. Your last play, but not mine! I activate my facedown card! D.D Fish Cut!"
The other set card of Shark lifted itself, revealing the image of Seven-Colored Fish being sliced apart by the Bistro Butcher.
"When this card is activated, I can banish a level 5 or higher WATER monster that was destroyed by battle this turn. Then, I can Special Summon WATER monster, provided that the total sum of their levels equals the banished monster level, and their effects negated! My choices are the level 3 monsters Friller Shark and Needle Sunfish!"
Two cards appeared on the field, one a yellow, thin shark, and the other a piranha-like monster.
[Friller Shark/Level 3/WATER/Fish/Effect/700 ATK/1500 DEF]
[Needle Sunfish/Level 3/WATER/Fish/Effect/1500 ATK/100 DEF]
"Two monsters with level 3...so I'll be able to see an Xyz Summon soon enough."
"Now, better start praying because I'm about to take you on a one-way trip to the depths of the ocean! My turn!"
Kazuto: 4000 LP/Hand: 1
Shark: 3000 LP/ Hand: 2
"Got to admit. You're pretty good for a starter," said Shark, dropping the "villain" facade for a moment. "At least better than Yuma when he began. Tell me, with whom did you learn to play the game?"
"Joey Wheeler," answered the Black Swordsman. "I met him in one bar loop, and the rest is history. I still remember that accent."
"Brooklyn, am I right?" said Shark. "Hard to forget, indeed. Well, he taught you well enough. So, let me up the ante a little bit. I Normal Summon Saber Shark!"
A shark with a blade in front of his head appeared beside Needle Sunfish.
[Saber Shark/Level 4/WATER/Fish/Effect/1600 ATK/1200 DEF]
"Now, I activate the Saber Shark's effect! Twice per turn, I can target Fish monsters on my field. Then, I can either increase or decrease their levels by one. I choose to increase the levels of Friller Shark and Needle Sunfish!"
[Friller Shark/Level 4/WATER/Fish/Effect/700 ATK/1500 DEF]
[Needle Sunfish/Level 4/WATER/Fish/Effect/1500 ATK/100 DEF]
"Now then, prepare yourself to meet your doom!" Shark lifted his hand to the sky. "I overlay my level 4 monsters, building the Overlay Network!"
The three fish monsters on the field become energy as a galaxy-like portal appears in the sky. Said energy enters through the portal, creating an explosion of light.
"The savage beast that arrives from the depths of the sea! With your fangs, obliterate anyone who gets in your path! Come forth, Number 32 -Shark Drake!"
From the galaxy portal, a monster appeared. The beast was a red, dragon-like creature, standing under two feet. It had four things surrounding his body that Kazuto decided to call fins. In a part of the chest, there was a red 32, indicating his status as a Number monster -whatever that meant. Three energy orbs were circulating the card.
[Number 32 - Shark Drake/Rank 4/WATER/Sea Serpent/Effect/Xyz/2800 ATK/2100 DEF]
"A friendly one, huh?" remarked Kazuto, as Shark Drake glared at him. "But he still can't touch Peredur!"
"Not for too long," said Shark. "Let's test this theory. I activate Cards of Demise! I can draw cards until I have five on my hand, but I must send my whole hand at the end of five turns."
The looper drew the five cards.
"Now, you and that knight of yours are in for a world of pain. First off, I activate the Equip Spell, Different Dimension Reincarnation! By discarding a card, I can Special Summon a banished monster in Attack Position and equip it with this card. I send Drill Barnacle to the Graveyard to bring back Sharkraken!"
The hybrid of a shark and an octopus passed through a dimensional hole, returning to the field.
[Sharkraken/Level 6/Fish/WATER/Effect/2400 ATK/2100 DEF]
"Now, I activate the Continuous Spell, Voracious Shoal!" The spell showed Piranha Army biting down Giant Orc. "Once per turn, if I control a level 6 or higher WATER monster, I can target two WATER monsters on the field. Then, I can tribute one of them to add his ATK points to the other chosen monster. Of course, the targets will be Sharkraken and Shark Drake!"
Sharkraken dissolved in water, adding his power to the Number.
[Number 32 - Shark Drake/Rank 4/WATER/Sea Serpent/Effect/Xyz/5200 ATK/2100 DEF]
"Now, you're about to be washed away! Shark Drake, destroy that puny knight of his!"
"Destroy it? But even with the higher attack, Noble Arms of Destiny will protect Peredur. I have a bad feeling about this."
His suspicions proved to be right when Shark played a new card from his hand.
"I activate the Quick-Play Spell, Magical Negation!" A card with the image of Spell Canceler absorbing an attack of Breaker the Magical Warrior appeared on the field. "I can target one spell card on the field, and until the end of the turn, that card and all cards with the same name have its effects negated! I chose Noble Arms of Destiny!"
The shield in Peredur's hand became opaque.
"Tsk. In response to that, I activate my trap card, Equip Trade!" A card with the image of Armed Samurai -Ben Kei passing a weapon to Iron Blacksmith Kotetsu appeared. "By sending a face-up Spell under my control, I can draw three cards!"
The opaque shield in Peredur's hand disappeared.
"Hmph. Pointless! You're going down now! Shark Drake, destroy Peredur!"
The sea serpent roared, spinning like a tornado before striking his target down.
Kazuto: 2200 LP
"I activate Peredur's effect! Because he had a Noble Arms spell equipped to it when destroyed, I can target a Noble Arms card on my Graveyard and add it to my hand! I return Noble Arms of Destiny!" said Kazuto.
"Hmph. Pointless! There won't be one next turn for you to use it. Shark Drake's effect! I can detach one overlay unit from it to Special Summon the monster he just destroyed with 1000 ATK!"
One of the energy orbs of Shark Drake disappeared as Peredur reappeared from the Graveyard.
[Noble Knight Peredur/Level 4/LIGHT/Warrior/Effect/900 ATK/300 DEF]
"Then, Shark Drake can attack again. But before that, I'm using the effect of the Needle Sunfish that I detached! Your monster loses five hundred more attack points!"
[Noble Knight Peredur/Level 4/LIGHT/Warrior/Effect/400 ATK/300 DEF]
"Attack, Shark Drake! Deep-Sea Destruction!"
The monster roared, advancing to give the finishing blow.
"I won't let you! I activate the effect of a card in my hand, Honest!"
A blonde angel appeared on the field.
"By discarding this card, one LIGHT monster being attacked gains equal to his attacker!"
The angel dissolved in light, involving Peredur, whose horse lifted his hooves in defiance.
[Noble Knight Peredur/Level 4/LIGHT/Warrior/Effect/5600 ATK/300 DEF]
"Your monster is now destroyed!"
"Are you sure about that?"
As Peredur swung his Honest boosted blade, Shark Drake defended himself with his fins, avoiding being destroyed by the knight's sword.
Shark: 2600 LP.
"What?"
"Surprised? News flash, my friend. A Number monster cannot be destroyed by battle, except against another Number. And, contrary to Noble Arms of Destiny, this is permanent."
Kirito grit his teeth. He didn't have any Number cards. "Troublesome..."
"You may have survived this turn, but I'll make sure that you're going to desire to have lost here and now! I activate Xyz Artillery!" A spell with the image of a man aiming a gun appeared in the field. "I can detach one overlay unit from a monster on my field then target one card that you control to destroy it. Then, if it was a monster, you take 200 damage for each level/rank it had."
Another orb around Shark Drake disappeared. The sea serpent roared, destroying Peredur and inflicting damage to Kazuto.
Kazuto: 1400 LP
"I end my turn. Now, during the End Phase, the effect of Voracious Shoal activates! By sending it to the Graveyard, I can banish WATER monsters. Then, during my next turn, you suffer damage equal to how many cards were sent to the banished zone times three hundred! I chose Sharkraken, Saber Shark, Needle Sunfish, Big Jaws, and Drill Barnacle!"
Shark retrieved the five cards from his Graveyard, putting them in his back pocket.
"Now, let's see what you can do. Draw your last pathetic card, Kazuto."
Kazuto: 1400 LP/Hand: 5
Shark: 2600 LP/ Hand: 0
Kazuto gritted his teeth, looking at his hand. Besides Noble Arms of Destiny, he had the monster cards Noble Knight Artorigus and Noble Knight Gawain, the Equip Spell Junk Barrage, and the Normal Spell Underdog Treasure. Nothing that could help him defeat Shark Drake because, for some reason, his Unawake self didn't have Xyz monsters.
"Is this the end? It would be lame as hell to lose my first duel here!"
At that moment, something shined on Kirito's neck. He vaguely remembered that it was some present from his parent before he disappeared and that Shark broke on the day before. The boy was questioning what was going on before he suddenly was in front of a door.
He felt that he still was dueling Shark, his mind being the one 'teleported' to say. But he didn't reflect on that for too long. His focus was on the door. His appearance was akin to a demon with his ugly face, and the chains that involved it brought to Kirito's mind the image of "something dangerous." The one that he dreamt about for years. There was a big lock in the middle of its 'forehead.'
"Maroon, whoever can open this door will gain great power. Be aware, though, that such strength has a cost. You would lose what is more precious to you." said the door in a deep voice.
Kirito stayed in his place, thinking about what to do. He glanced at his pendant, now fixed, although he was sure that a part of it was in his house attic.
"Hm. A demon door is offering me power, and momma always said to not trust in strangers," pondered Kirito. "On the other hand, though...Not the weirdest thing I've seen in loops."
Saying so, Kirito walked to the door. There was a space that seemed to allow for one form for insertion. The boy compared the keylock with his pendant -what's the name? Emperor's Key?
"I guess this is the door to open," muttered Kirito, inserting the small pendant on the door.
The wave of air that came soon after threw the boy away, and he wondered if he hadn't committed a terrible mistake by opening the door. For a moment, he saw a brilliant shape in the air, but he hadn't time to analyze what it was before a sphere of blank cards involved him. Kirito barely had the time to react when the orb shattered, and he was back at the duel.
"Ugh...What was all that about?"
"It was to release me, looper."
Kirito hadn't noticed the shining being at his side until he talked. He was transparent, with green marks and blue gems spread through his body. The being's hair had the form of a weird reverse mohawk, and he also had pointed ears, like an elf from Alfheim, with earrings on them. His eyes were heterochromatic, one gold, the other white.
"Who are you?" asked Kazuto, surprised by that turn of events. In the distance, his friends said something about talking with the air, but he could investigate that later.
"My name is Astral, and I'm one of the co-Anchors of the Zexal branch of the Yu-Gi-Oh cluster. You're, at the moment, at the place of my partner, Yuma Tsukumo," he then glanced at Shark. "Although I'm sure somebody should have explained that to you before me."
The duelist gave a predatory smile.
"I wanted to see how much he knew about the game. I didn't see his face before, so I got a little too carried away. At least he's giving me a better time than Yuma in our first showdown."
"He surely is, considering that you brought Shark Drake before the Numbers release from the Door of Destiny," remarked the spirit, deadpan.
"Not my fault that he was such a slowpoke to activate the key," shrugged the WATER duelist. "Also, don't you guys have a duel to end?"
The being of the Astral World recognized the rival's point.
"Right. I suppose you know how to duel, so I'll just read the Number for you."
"Wait, read the Number for me? But I don't have any-" started Kirito, glancing at the Extra Deck slot before noticing a card on it. "Huh? But that wasn't-"
"Roll with it. I'll explain soon."
"Uhm...sure. Anyway, I Normal Summon Noble Knight Artorigus!"
Another blonde knight, this time using armor filled with white pelt, appeared on the field.
[Noble Knight Artorigus/Level 4/LIGHT/Warrior/Normal/1800 ATK/1800 DEF]
"Now, I activate Underdog Treasure!" The card showed the man of Heart of Underdog digging the ground to dig up a chest. "If the only monster I control is a Normal monster, I can draw two cards, then send one to the Graveyard!"
Kirito drew the two cards and tried to decide which one to send to the Graveyard.
"If you want my advice, send Noble Arms of Destiny," said Astral.
The Noble Knights user frowned, feeling a little hesitant from doing that, but decided to trust the Anchor, sending the Equip Spell to the Graveyard.
"Now, because I control a LIGHT Normal Monster, I can Special Summon Noble Knight Gawayn from my hand in Defense position!"
A knight in golden armor, the sunlight illuminating it, appeared beside Artorigus.
[Noble Knight Gawayn/Level 4/LIGHT/Warrior/Effect/1900 ATK/500 DEF]
"Now, you already know what comes next, I suppose. With Gawayn and Artorigus, I'm building the Overlay Network!
The galaxy-like portal appeared in the sky, the two Warrior monsters turning into light orbs.
"We Xyz Summon a near-matchless warrior," declared Astral. "Number 39: Black Beater, the Dual Blades Master!"
"Wait, what?" asked Kirito, confused, before the Overlay Network exploded in a burst of energy.
From there, a figure fell slowly to the ground. It was a warrior carrying two black blades. It was wearing a black trenchcoat decorated with grey lines, pants that followed the same pattern, and metal shoes. A mask engraved with the face of a demon occulted the expressions of the warrior.
[Number 39 - Black Beater, The Dual Blades Master/Rank 4/DARK/Warrior/Effect/Xyz/2500 ATK/2100 DEF]
"What the...how that card could take this form?" asked Kirito, dumbfounded.
"Well, this is quite simple..." started the 'ghost.'
"Answer in fifty or fewer words, please," said the swordsman, savvy enough to understand that it was not simple.
"Numbers are fragments of my memory. They take the form of cards, and they mold themselves to fit those that they possess."
Ok, maybe it was simpler than he thought, considering that he didn't use half of the words available.
"I see. So the Number is like that because he resonated with my desire for something to help me win this duel. But what kind of effects does it have?"
Kazuto pointed to the card. Astral, politely, muttered a few words on the duelist's ears, explaining the power of the Black Beater. The visiting looper's eyes widened.
"I see. Alright, I already see how to win this."
Shark raised an eyebrow.
"Good luck with that. Although you summoned your Number, he's still too weak to defeat Shark Drake. Even if it has a damage negation effect, you still lose if I draw a monster on my next turn."
"Hmph. It's not such a small thing. The effect of Black Beater is way more offensive than that. And you're about to see it! I activate Black Beater's effect by detaching all of his Overlay Units! Swordsman Monument!"
The two yellow orbs circulating the warrior went straight to the ground. A few moments later, it started to tremble.
"What the...!"
Slowly, three stones with gravures left the ground. Shark's eyes widened seeing these images.
"They are...!"
"That's right," confirmed Kazuto. "Caliburn, Gallatin, Destiny, Assault Armor. The effect of Black Beater allows me to, one time when he's on the field, detach all of his materials, and then turn up to five Equip Spells on the grave his Overlay Units. Then, for each unit that he gained from his effect, he gains more effects. The first! When one or more Equip Spell becomes his Overlay Unit, Black Beater gains their power, ignoring whatever restrictions they may have. Soul Arsenal!"
The stones illuminated themselves, granting Black Beater the powers of the legendary weapons engraved on them.
[Number 39 - Black Beater, The Dual Blades Master/Rank 4/DARK/Warrior/Effect/Xyz/4300 ATK/2100 DEF]
"Second effect!" continued Kirito. "With two or more materials, my monster gains 500 ATK points for each Overlay Unit it has. Sharp Light!"
A white aura surrounded the monster.
[Number 39 - Black Beater, The Dual Blades Master/Rank 4/DARK/Warrior/Effect/Xyz/5800 ATK/2100 DEF]
"What a shame," said Shark. "You're still too weak to deplete my life points. Shoal's effect will trigger, wiping the rest of your life points. Of course, you can activate Caliburn or Assault Armor effects..."
"I can't activate Caliburn," said Kazuto. "Black Beater only grants passive effects, like the attack bonus of Gallatin and Caliburn. However, you'll see that I have the means to knock you out."
He pointed to Black Beater.
"The third effect of Black Beater! When it has three or more materials, I can choose one Equip Spell on my hand and equip it. My target will be Junk Barrage!"
The card with a meteor of metal falling through the atmosphere to Earth appeared on the field.
"Now, because Junk Barrage is on the field equipped as a result of Black Beater's effect, besides its natural effect, it also grants 1000 ATK to him!"
[Number 39 - Black Beater, The Dual Blades Master/Rank 4/DARK/Warrior/Effect/Xyz/6800 ATK/2100 DEF]
"And now, this duel is over! Black Beater, attack Shark Drake! Nebula Storm!"
The swordsman went ahead to slash at Shark Drake, who roared and tried to counter-attack with its fangs to no avail, as the flurry of blades slowly was overpowering the sea serpent.
"You're a bit wrong on the maths, Kazuto! Even with Shark Drake's destruction, I still have life points remaining!"
Shark Drake finally faltered, the two dark blades of Black Beater piercing him, making it explode.
Shark: 1400 LP
"On the next turn, your life points will fall to zero because of the Voracious Shoal effect!"
"For the last time, I say: are you sure about that?" asked Kazuto. "Because Black Beater destroyed a monster, I can activate the effect of Junk Barrage! You suffer damage equal to the destroyed monster's attack while in the Graveyard!"
"What?!" asked Shark, shocked.
"Go, Black Beater!"
The swordsman pointed to Shark, releasing a wave of energy that depleted the life points of the WATER duelist.
Shark: 0 LP
Winner: Kazuto Tsukumo
"Phew! Close call," said the duelist, going to Shark's direction. The WATER duelist, meanwhile, messed with his Extra Deck, taking something from it. A card, but not Shark Drake.
"Not bad, newbie," said the blue-haired boy. "But I was holding back. Didn't want to completely wreck your shit."
"That was holding back?" asked the swordsman, incredulous.
"Oh, you will know when I'm not holding back," said the boy, mysteriously. "For now, take this card. Number 17: Leviathan Dragon. The version of this loop."
Kirito glanced at the rank 3 monster, then at Astral.
"In baseline, my memory is scattered as part of the Number cards. Usually Yuma is my partner, so you're a nice change of pace."
"Hm," said Kirito. "So is something like a Monster of the Week kind of stuff, right?"
"Well, you can always get all the Numbers in one day, if you know which people are holding each number," commented Shark. "If you want to, I can give you a map to help you. And I think Kite is also Awake, so…"
"Hm...tempting, but no," said the visitor. "It'll be more enjoyable to try and find each Number on my own."
Astral coughed.
"Ok, in a duo. But I really need you, though?"
"Unless you can resist being possessed by your deepest desires by the Numbers and have the perfectly safe place to stop said Numbers from trying to escape and wreck more havoc in the world, then I say that I'm not necessary. And on that note, loop observation 13908: people tend to be short-fused in some situations."
Kazuto glanced at Shark, who shrugged as if saying: 'it's your ghost to deal with.'
"Well, guess we're stuck now. May as well learn more rules about the game. So, anyone can tell me what Synchro Monsters are?"

-Kaito is next on my list. I need to do a bit more with the cast of V3 but I'm looking forward to writing him. Big fun spaceman who can easily have some fun interactions with the ponies, as well as space faring loopers and possibly some ghosts as well because I'm just evil like that.
-Himiko getting real magic. That is all I need to say
-Tenko I can see possibly getting an arc relating to her realizing that she has some really unhealthy behaviors she needs to kick if she wants other loopers to like her and to possibly score a relationship with Himiko.
-Gonta basically writes himself since him interacting with characters like Fluttershy and the cast of Bug Fables kinda writes itself
-Kiibo gets to join the other looping robots with Jenny, the Light siblings and Penny more then likely becoming his main guides.
-Miu completely writes herself, especially having other, more straight laced inventors play off her.
-Kokichi doesn't change. He's a piece of shit, but he's a manageable piece of shit. Also gets a rivalry with Numbuh 362 because real supreme leader vs fake supreme leader gives me funnies.
-Tsumugi would kinda be like evil Chiaki in a way where she gets to meet all her idols but they all have some choice words about her actions...
-Ryoma finding things to live for and learning that he doesn't have to let his past define him.
-Kirumi learning to be something other then a servant...but Peko would most likely get the same plot.
Now for the OG cast.
-Hina is next, no matter what. She's a survivor and a fun character and I'm honestly loving the idea of her becoming a mermaid.
-Hajime getting a chance to forge his own density in the loops while also dealing with some demons. Kinda dark, but I like it.
-Chiaki meeting video game characters writes itself. She probably would become a collector looper.
-Sakura learning different fighting styles throughout the loops would be a lot of fun to write.
-Kazuichi meeting other mechanics would be fun and it would be a good way for him to realize that his obsession with Sonia is unhealthy
-Speaking of Sonia, her meeting other princesses would bring plenty of interesting interactions
-Celeste would be the Token Evil Teammate. Writes itself basically. And she also replaces Princess Celestia a lot (Discord probably starts calling her fake sunbutt and she totally hates it)
-Honestly, Peko might be more interesting to write then Fuyuhiko, since she could get an arc about not being a tool and meets some other sword wielders.
-Fuyuhiko replaces Edward Elric a lot and that's really all I've got for him.
-Gundam writes himself, no questions there.
-Sayaka gets to react to what she did to both Makoto and Leon and I really want to give her psychic powers
-Finally, Mikan is honestly the Danganronpa looper I want to write about the most simply because she has so much to work with. First off, she gets to deck Junko in the face. On more serious notes, she could easily be the looper who struggles the most with "I killed two people, even if it got undone in the end". She also has her canon self esteem problems which could be a lot of fun to see her work through, especially with other looper who went through similar problems.
Oh my god that took a while to write. Again, if this goes against the roles, I can delete it but if anyone has any ideas, please let me know! I'd love to hear them!

1. Kaito: Space + Ghosts = Among Us in my head.
2. Himiko: Short Chunnyibo (that's how that's spelled, right) mage girl in red and black... have her replace Megumin?
3. Kokichi: Supreme Leader and Overlord are equivalent titles, right? Wonder how he'd do in Ainz's robe...
4. Celeste. Building off the Celestia replacement, I bet she'd wish it were Luna she replaced more (much better match for her "Gothic lolita" persona).
That's all I have right now. The others either write themselves or aren't characters I enjoy that much... mostly the former.

No World to the Nobles
There were many things that Kazuto enjoyed about the One Piece branch of the World Tree.
Santoryu, for instance. Kirito loved using the three-swords style, something that he learned quickly to use in virtue of being in the place of his user. In baseline -or at least videogame baseline, if his memory wasn't wrong -he had tried to use three swords at once but never managed to get anything from doing so. Now, though, it was as easy to him as breathing.
Another one was competition. Dracule Mihawk did justice to his title as "Greatest Swordsman of the World." It was like fighting ten Yuuki's at the same time. In the swordsman's humble opinion, the competition helped one to get stronger faster. And boy, there were many swordsmen to test his skills. One loop helped him improve his swordplay by a mile.
Finally, there was the overall zaniness of that place. Even the loopers, at times, are surprised about what those great seas had to offer. Monsters, pirates, new places. It was as if the Admins rolled a dice before every start of the loop to see what they had to offer at that time.
However, like many other things, there was a catch. And no, Kirito wasn't speaking of the World Government, whose actions, although inhuman, at least seemed to have the proposal of serving to a twisted sense of justice.
The Celestials Dragons, on the other hand, didn't have such an excuse.
The swordsman barely knew who they were until a few hours ago, and he already hated them with a fiery passion.
Monkey D. Luffy, the Anchor of that branch of the tree and captain of the Straw Hat Pirates -the second craziest group of Yggdrasil, only below the Dai-Gurren Brigade -was the one who gave him the talk about who they were. Surprisingly, the boy was serious while talking, which was quite contrasting to the image of the adventure-loving pirate that he had created on their way to Sabaody.
"I'm not sugarcoating. The Celestial Dragons are some of the vilest persons that I had the displeasure to meet in the whole tree," said the rubber-boy, face dead serious. "They think of themselves as gods in the human world. You're having a hard time finding one World Noble that isn't rotten until the core. More delusional than Enel. More political power than the Marines. And crueler than Crocodile. These are the people who rule over our world. Can't say that I blame my old man for trying to rebel."
The captain was not joking. Kirito had the misfortune of crossing with one member of the said group while trying to find the Thousand Sunny -cursed sense of direction! -and only half a minute with them already gave Kirito everything he needed to understand one thing about them.
They're scum. And not any scum. The lowliest scum. It was a wonder when even Eustass Kid, someone who hurt people indiscriminately, was less evil in his book than that group of arrogant bastards.
They reminded him of Sugou Nobuyuki. Yes, he could see that damn leech as one of the World Nobles. It would fit perfectly in that group. Maybe that was the most aggravating point on Kirito's mind. A world ruled by Oberons is the kind of thing that irked him to no end.
Those were his thoughts as he entered the Public Employment Security Office -as the Marines called. The loopers knew quite well that name was a facade to the Human Auctioning House, a building that sold slaves for anyone with enough money in the pocket. The Jolly Roger of the Donquixote pirates smiled mockingly at the Straw Hats as they entered that place.
"It's awful, isn't it?" said Nico Robin, approaching the swordsman. "One of the modern world's darkest secrets. It's a shame. Otherwise, even with the fish-man racism, this would be a good place for vacations."
The swordsman didn't say anything, still facing the auction house. The Devil Child proceeded.
"Many before you had the same reaction when facing this place. Others were more resigned, being of worlds where slavery still was or is a thing. But I think there's something more in your rage, isn't it?"
The Black Swordsman silently nodded.
"Those Celestial Dragons...they disgust me beyond every sense of the word. Remind me too much of another bug in my home loop. One that nearly took something important from me."
The pirate raised an eyebrow.
"And you're about to face an Admiral just for the chance to flip them off?"
Kirito gave a slasher smile.
"Only if they want to buy that fight."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Straw Hats entered the house. Unless they Woke very late in the baseline, the only reason for them to enter the auction was to either release all the slaves of the place or, as the case was right now, to flip off someone.
The crew was the same as it was in the baseline at the time, except for Kirito substituting the swordsman of the Straw Hats, Zoro. Their captain, Monkey D. Luffy, a.k.a "Straw Hat" Luffy," was eating a piece of meat, satisfied. "Black Leg" Sanji was talking with some women, hearts in his eyes. "Cat Burglar" Nami was counting the money she got from one of her trips to El Dorado. Usopp (or Sogeking, as he presented himself sometimes) was discussing with "Cyborg" Franky about some plans to upgrade their ships, the Thousand Sunny and the Going Merry (which, according to the Straw Hats, were also loopers of their own). The yet-to-be "Soul King" Brook, a living skeleton, tried to see the panties of some girls with rather revealing outfits. And finally, "Devil Child" Nico Robin was reading a book while using her Devil Fruit powers to write something in a notebook.
Yeah, Kirito could see the reason why that group was on the whacky scale of the loopers.
As for him? "Asura" Kazuto Kirigaya. What was with the demon theme for him? Did he look that scary? Considering that he had a reward of one hundred and fifty million berries, the answer was yes.
He would still defend that he didn't take down that tower, though. Kaku had been the one to slice it. He just had the luck of one of his attacks hitting the right spot to make the whole thing go down.
Either way, in the end, the whole crew was sitting at the auction house, giving some cheap talk as the sale continued.
"No, man, I can't stop talking with my friend here!" hissed Franky, looking annoyed at one of the men behind the crew. "Now piss off, or else I'll give you a SUPER beatdown! And I'm already with bad humor."
The man retreated, clearly scared of being beaten up to a piece of meat by a cyborg.
"You shouldn't be so harsh with them, Franky," said Usopp. "Or else we're going to attract too many troubles. And I want to see what Kirito has in the bag for us."
"Yeah, Franky!" said the captain. "Although I would like to beat up some guys, I want to see what Samurai Black has to us."
"I shouldn't have shown you Enmamon..." grumbled Kirito.
"Don't be sad," said Nami, taking her eyes for a few seconds of her gold. "This is a Luffy thing. He nicknames everyone who passes for this loop. I remember the day that he named Ron Weasley 'Ginger' and Ichigo Kurosaki as 'Strawberry.' For some reason, he laughed when Luffy called him that."
"At least you're not Sudoku," said Sanji, lighting a cigarette. "Fortunately for Goku, Luffy found it easier to say his name, so he didn't become stuck with that for too long."
Robin let a chuckle escape her lips. "Good times."
"I very much disagree, Robin," said Brook. "That loop was so intense that it nearly stopped my heart. But I don't have one! Yohohoho! Skull Joke!"
At that moment, the last member, "Cotton Candy Lover" Chopper, entered the fray. He was in his form as a reindeer, carrying a tray of food on the back.
"Took you long enough," said Nami. "What, did you get distracted by another cotton candy stand?"
The Zoan blushed.
"One time, Nami! One time! And I didn't mean to burn Skypiea while we were there, for that matter. It was all Ace's fault."
The reindeer grumbled as he assumed his hybrid form, sat at one of the seats, and took some candies from the tray before passing it to Brook.
"Should animals eat sugar?" pondered Kirito.
"This is for dogs! I'm a reindeer, for Susanoo's sake! Besides, I ate the Human-Human Fruit, and I think this makes me human."
The swordsman couldn't argue with that logic.
"Shush, you two!" said Sanji. "The auction is beginning."
As each Straw Hat got their food, the auctioneer entered the stage, speaking some things to the person about something unique that would appear on that day, rare, one of a kind, and many other things. Only Kirito was paying attention to the speech, the other pirates already knew what Disco's "product" was.
The first slave entered, a man dressed in a red captain trench coat, who seemed as if he saw hell. Then a famous painter. A Mink. A giant who tried to escape but had his collar blow up. Another pirate.
For every being that entered that stage, Kirito's anger only increased. He imagined that his Haki would be visible if he were capable of using it.
The other Straw Hats tension also increased, but in a more subtle manner. They had seen that dance too many times before. The plan was, independent if Kirito's idea succeeded, to steal everything not nailed down, and maybe some things that were. Then, release the slaves and maybe throw Kizaru in the water if they want to deal with that can of worms.
Finally, after a few more rounds of sales, the moment that they were waiting for arrived.
"And now, the moment you're all waiting for! The main attraction of today! Behold..."
Snapping the fingers, the auctioneer ordered his subordinates to bring something covered by a black cloth. He let the cart stop right close to him before pulling the fabric, revealing his contents.
"A mermaid!"
"It's the time," said Nami, glaring at Disco as he presented Camie to the many people in the auction.
Kirito didn't need the warning. The Straw Hats had already warned that Camie would be the only mermaid to be sold on that day. The swordsman slowly lifted himself as Disco started to list the mermaid's qualities -which wasn't necessary. Everyone in the room had decided to get that specimen to their collections.
"500 million berries!"
That is until that voice launched his price. For a few seconds, the only sound heard in the room was Disco's gawking at the meteoric price and the footsteps of Kirito going down the stairs. People recognized Saint Charlos getup as one of the Celestial Dragons and didn't go against the noble's desire.
As the window to sell started to close, Kirito crept closer to the stage. Bodyguards went in his direction to block his passage, but the boy raised his hands, indicating that he meant no harm.
"Alright, ladies and gentleman, come on, come on!" said Disco. "How about 600 million berries, huh? 600, 600! We're dealing with a once-in-a-lifetime business! Do you want to regret missing that opportunity?"
It was visible that Disco didn't expect anybody to raise the stakes, even more against someone who could kill them unpunished or, worse, turn them into slaves. He raised his hand, ready to give the sale to Charlos.
"Hold your Sea Kings, pal!"
The auctioneer looked flabbergasted at the swordsman in black. So did the rest of the nobles and, notably, the Celestial Dragons. Oh, he did think that Enel's expression when facing Luffy was priceless. But Charlos's expression was a close second.
"Sir, you can make offers from the audience. You don't need to..." started Disco.
"I offer my Excalibur as the price for this mermaid," said Kirito, drawing the golden longsword. "A specialist evaluated that this blade is worth 700 million berries." He showed the license to Disco, who raised his eyebrows.
Charlos, meanwhile, recovered from the shock of someone crossing his way and sent a new offer.
"A billion berries!"
His family glances at the manchild appalled -even for World Noble's standards that was a lot of money -and the room blew up with the new offer. Meanwhile, Charlos looked at Kirito, a smug smile on his face. The swordsman answered in kind with a smile of his own as he tool another thing from his Pocket.
"1.4 billion," stated the boy, stabbing the second Excalibur on the ground.
The crowd went wild, both from fear for what the World Nobles might do and from Kirito somehow managing to outdo a Celestial Dragon.
Charlos didn't get mad this time, although there was a fire in his eyes. Instead, he roared the next price, his roar being more akin to a Sea King than a human:
"5 billion!"
This time, his family glanced at the manchild as if he went mad. He was giving enough berries to pay for the bounties of the Worst Generation five times and enough to make a commoner live like a king for the rest of his life.
And before the crowd could react to the offer, Kirito was already surpassing the man one more time, drawing from his pocket many other blades encrusted with jewels and composed of fine materials.
"In total, I'm upping my offer by 8.6 billion. Total: 10 billion berries."
Everyone present roared, one more time, the Noble foiled. From the corner of his eye, Kirito saw Nami starting to drool from the money in front of her. He swore that there were signs of berries in her eyes.
Charlos was about to send one more offer, but one older man -Saint Rosward -contained his foolish son from investing more money in that business. However, Kirito could read some words that he was muttering to him, 'slave' coming often. "So you're not even getting out with the rest of your dignity -if there was ever one -intact. Your loss."
Disco stayed paralyzed for a few minutes, calculating the money he would gain from that auction before pointing to Kirito.
"As no one answers anymore, the mermaid Camie is sold by...10 billion berries!" the man said, hesitating for a few seconds before finishing his phrase.
Charlos, meanwhile, went out from his place, steadily going in Kirito's direction. There was a metal collar on his hands and a devilish expression on his face. The swordsman could outrun the fat man, but he still wasn't finished. While Usopp and Chopper retrieved Camie -which had a shocked expression on his face -the swordsman turned to face the Celestial Dragon. He gave a devil-may-care smile, knowing pretty well what Charlos was about to do.
"So? Want to admire my new, awesome mermaid?"
Charlos gave a demented smile.
"Of course. I'll admire it directly from my room in Mariejois while I have you serve me, pack-mule!"
He put the collar around Kirito's neck, closing it rather quickly.
"Now you're mine, you little stain! How does it feel to be privileged as a servant of the ones on the top of the world?"
The room was tense, the case of the mermaid of ten billion forgotten on the face of the showdown of the two buyers. It was as if they were in the middle of a gunpowder barrel.
And, to the general surprise, Kirito did the one thing that no one would do in his situation.
He smiled.
"While I feel honored from being considered to such a high position, I'm afraid that I already have a job on a ship. So, I must kindly refuse your proposal," said the boy, messing with his collar.
The eyes of everyone bar the Straw Hats widened as the device started to beep. Charlos barely managed to step back when the collar exploded. The bodyguards went to see how the manchild was, one being shot in the shoulder as he pulled the man awkwardly from the ground.
However, the focus wasn't on the noble. Instead, it was on the still alive man standing in front of him. His hair was a little messy and the face grey, but otherwise, he was fine.
"Well, wasn't that lovely," remarked the boy. "As I was saying, I need to meet my captain now. You can try to get me a job on the 30th of February. That's my free day. Farewell, Saint Charlos."
The swordsman took that as his time to leave, but the Celestial Dragon desired vengeance.
"Guards! Kill this annoyance, or else!"
The men trying to help the manchild get up took their weapons, letting the noble fall again -to which he shot one more bullet in protest -and advanced against the swordsman, six against one. It was unfair for them.
"Ittoryu Iai: Shooting Star."
Drawing his first longsword in a way that shouldn't be possible for a blade of the type, Kirito launched two stabs against the first two guards, who were thrown far away by the sheer strength of the attack. The swordsman retrieved his second sword.
"Nitoryu: Cancer Cross."
The three guards that followed received each one a gash on the chest, the result of the ferocious tackle that the Asura did.
The last one was bulkier than the others, carrying a tower shield for protection. For Kirito, it was the same as being protected by cardboard. Putting his third sword on the mouth, he advanced, spinning like crazy against the shielded foe.
"Santoryu: Space Typhoon."
The shield was cut in pieces by the attack. The owner fell a few seconds later, a large gash on the stomach.
Seeing their bodyguards defeated easily, the Celestial Dragons started to tremble, half rage, half fear.
"S-s-stay away from me, your freak!" said Charlos, firing a bullet against Kirito, who blocked the projectile handily. Then, he slowly approached the offending man, who shot bullets until he was out of ammo. Most of them missed the target, and the ones correctly aimed were deflected by the swordsman.
Kirito was right in front of Charlos, making his best effort to look intimidating. He looked at the Celestial Dragon's eyes, seeing a pale face, knowing that he was within a few seconds of being mauled to death. Then, he approached his face to the Celestial Dragon's face and said:
"Boo."
Charlos fell on his back, unconscious from pure fear.
As Roswald and Charlos sister started to rant something about calling an Admiral to get revenge on Kirito, the swordsman took his leave as turmoil started on the back. A few seconds later, the rubbery arm of Monkey D. Luffy pierced through the wall, a guard being used as an impromptu rammer.
At the same time that Disco turned himself to see the hole on his wall, Nami, wearing a queen crown, approached the stage and took all the blades from the auctioneer's arms. The thief winked at Kirito, before putting the weapons in her pocket. "I hope that she brings that back," thought the swordsman.
By the time that the owner of the establishment noticed that his arms were too light, chaos had entered the Human Auctioning House. Sanji was escorting the female slaves out of the house, taking down anyone who dared to raise a finger to stop their escape. Chopper did the same, although with the wounded person, with Robin helping him by carrying the more fragile persons with the Flower-Flower Fruit powers. Usopp was taking care of the remaining slaves, firing pellets of tabasco pepper at the mouths of the guards.
(Kirito hadn't the slightest idea of why that was so effective; he had eaten one, and felt fine).
The remaining Straw Hats were occupied causing the greatest amount of havoc possible: Franky was punching holes on the walls, Luffy was beating some of the more determined guards senselessly and Brook was putting the rest to sleep with his music. Even the crews of the Kid and Heart Pirates -"when did they even appear?" thought the swordsman -entered the fray, causing even more chaos.
Kirito sighed satisfied seeing the horrified faces of the still awake Celestial Dragons. Smirking, he took a camera from his pocket and took a picture. That would go to the album.
Not even the fact that seconds after the fact he was backstabbed with a lightspeed kick to the back could take his satisfied smile from the face.
On the other hand, the beatdown that followed against Admiral Kizaru was also a photo of its own, but that's a tale for another day.

Geneva Convention
"Lisbeth."
The pinky-haired male blacksmith shivered, glancing at Asuna, who also was a guy on that loop.
"Yes, sir?" asked Lisbeth.
"I know you got enthusiastic in entering Gun Gale Online this loop."
The newer looper laughed nervously.
"Yeah, a little bit. I don't remember entering this place on the baseline, but it sounded cool on paper."
The swordsman nodded.
"But you know there are some limits of what you can do in loops, right? Like, the Data Hack incident?"
"I thought that everything was valid unless it involves loop crashes!" protested the blacksmith.
The Anchor lifted his arms.
"Sure, but even the greatest loopers have some limits. Like, say, that ATROCITY YOU GENERATED!"
Lisbeth was distracted for a second by Asuna's sudden scream, but soon she focused back on the battlefield, where another explosion happened.
"Run, run, you little ant!" said Sinon, firing another shot from his modified Hecate rifle at an Unawake Kirito -or Kirita, in that loop -with another explosion happening a few seconds suit.
Asuna glared at Lisbeth, who became red.
"Alright, I may have looped in Fallout and may want to upgrade the Fat Man to a new form while retaining its destructive capabilities."
The Anchor looked at the blacksmith's eyes.
"Repeat with me: no more sleepovers with Sakura Haruno."
"No more sleepovers with Sakura Haruno," said Lisbeth a few seconds later. "Killjoy."

The Anchor looked at the blacksmith's eyes."Repeat with me: no more sleepovers with Sakura Haruno."
"No more sleepovers with Sakura Haruno," said Lisbeth a few seconds later. "Killjoy."
A question, I could remember it correctly, but isn't Sakura Haruno under a restraining order when it came to new Loopers?

A question, I could remember it correctly, but isn't Sakura Haruno under a restraining order when it came to new Loopers?
Hm. Didn't remember that, but for convenience sake, let's say that Lisbeth looped in Naruto and, as she still new, walked a little bit with Sakura. Now, she doesn't have the syndrome, but she got some crazy ideas to create weapons. Or I could remove that excerpt and make that Lisbeth had the idea to Slim Man (see what I did here?) by herself. Either way, she did nukes.
