Chapter 5: Broggy's Bitter Tears of Victory! The Conclusion of Elbaf

(episode 73)

"There's the signal. Today is very promising!"

"You're going?! Your wounds from that last battle still haven't-!"

"It's nothing! The conditions are the same for the both of us! Making excuses during a merciless fight to the death would spoil my name!"

"Hey! Wait, old guy! Don't go!"

"You can't go, Dorry-san! You need to keep still! You'll die if you push yourself too hard!"

"I, Warrior Dorry, am here... at the very least... I will fight to uphold the name of Elbaf!"

As the volcano continued shaking the island with repeated eruptions, Dorry forced himself up. Vivi stepped back when he grabbed his house. "Don't tell me he's-!" To her shock, he lifted the whole thing right off the ground.

"Awesome! He picked up that gigantic rock!" Luffy watched in awe.

Vivi distanced herself further. "Luffy-san!"

Before he could move away, Dorry slammed the rock right on him, so he was pinned down. "What're you doing, old guy?!" He struggled under the tremendous weight, and smacked the dirt. "Move this rock! Hey!"

"It can't be stopped," Dorry panted, as the cloud of dirt cleared up, "It was over a hundred years ago, when we started the battle. But running from a battle you've started, is the same as running from the title of "warrior."" He picked up his sword. "If I am no longer a warrior, I will no longer be me." He looked down at Luffy and Vivi. "I'm sorry I suspected you. This is the judgement given by... Elbaf, the God of War. I didn't have his divine protection. That's all."

Luffy seethed in anger, as he started walking away. "Gods, and divine protection, and all that have nothing to do with this! If a God told you to die, would you?! This duel has been interfered with!" Dorry stopped. "A duel that's been interfered with isn't a duel anymore! Isn't that right?!"

"Be quiet!" He ordered. "You've lived only a mere 10 or 20 years; you wouldn't understand the grand words of Elbaf!" He continued his trek.

"Who gives a crap about that?!" Lufy struggled some more, as he punched the boulder. "Hey! Move this thing! Hey! Old guy!" His shouts fell on deaf ears, as Vivi could only watch Dorry leave. "Hey! Old guy! Dammit! I can't move this!"

"Okay, Master Broggy! Go get 'im!" Usopp encouraged.

Broggy laughed heartily, with the sniper imitating him exceptionally. "You bet, Usopp! I'm gonna wipe the floor with him for sure this time!"

"Go get 'im, Warrior of Elbaf!" Broggy started heading off for the duel. "You can do it! You're strong! Strong! Strong! You're big! Big!"

"How can he keep doing this pointless fighting?" Nami watched him go.

"Don't call it pointless fighting, you idiot!" Usopp raged, stomping his foot, as Venus glared at her. "Broggy's a brave warrior of the sea, like the kind I'm aiming to be! What gives you the right-"

Nami stood up on the ground. "Anyway, let's return to the ship." She looked at the Log Pose. "Waiting a year for the Log to store up is out of the question! We need to wait on the ship for everyone, and come up with a plan." She started to leave.

"Hold it! Not so fast!" Usopp called after her. "I am absolutely useless in a fight against dinosaurs! As such, we cannot possibly traverse the jungle to reach our ship!"

"What was all that "brave warrior of the sea" stuff just now, then?" Nami interrogated.

"I meant that in the mental sense! I want to be a man who's proud of the way he lives!"

'No choice,' She thought, 'Luffy's group is at the other giant's house. Guess we'll head there.'

"Listen, Nami, Venus-chan. Even if I wind up losing everything someday, and greet death all alone on a deserted island, I'll proudly say this about my life as I die: "I am Usopp, brave warrior of the sea!"" He finally fell on his back.

"Yeah, yeah." Nami started dragging him by his satchel, with the strap around his neck. "Then will you hurry up, and be a dependable warrior?"

"You're choking him!" Venus removed the strap, and started pulling by his overalls instead. "Let's go!" She cheered.

"Oh... alright!"

As the duel was about to begin, Broggy laughed obliviously. "Dorry! How was your drink?! Hit the spot, didn't it?!"

"Yeah," He glared, "It tasted "Godly.""

Broggy laughed again. "You're so full of exaggerations! Let's go!" As they fought, he noticed something was off about his opponent. "What's wrong, Dorry?! You're a bit sluggish!"

"Don't be a fool! I'm the same as always!"

Meanwhile, Luffy was still struggling to free himself. "Move, you stupid thing! Come on!" He punched the ground in fury. "Just when it seemed like I met an awesome warrior!"

"Luffy-san..." 'Why would he go this far for a giant he just met?' Vivi wondered. 'He hardly seems like a criminal with a bounty on his head.'

"Who is it?! Who's putting a damper on the giants' fight?!"

After a beat of silence, Vivi had a realization. "Come to think of it... Karoo is gone!"

A scared Karoo was running from the earlier exchange, before stopping to catch his breath. "Oh? Isn't this the ugly bird the one princess always has with her?" He spit out his drink in fear.

"Yeah." He slowly turned around; Ms. Valentine, and Mr. 5 were right behind him. He screamed in fear, and started to back away. "Don't run away!" Mr. 5 ordered, and he stopped dead in his tracks. "We were lucky enough to meet out here after all. There's something we'd like you to do."

"That's right," Ms. Valentine added.

Meanwhile, Zoro had caught his watcher: another, bigger triceratops. He dragged it through the jungle, but realized he didn't know where he was. "Damn, I'm lost. I do recognize this tree, but... it was "go left from the tree wrapped in vines," right?"

He then noticed a certain redhead leaning against another tree close by. "Oh! It's you, Nami!" He smiled with relief. "Perfect timing! I just lost my way, you see, so I wasn't sure what to do." He dragged it closer. "What're you doing here, anyway?" He stopped in confusion when she was strangely still and quiet; and smiling for no reason. "Hey, what's the deal?" He didn't notice two pairs of eyes watching him.

"Dinosaur!" Nami screamed.

"Dinosaur! Dinosaur! Dinosaur!" Usopp rambled fearfully.

While running, Venus suddenly tripped over a root, and tumbled on the ground. "Venus!" Nami raged. "Fine time to fall! You're on your own!"

"No!" Usopp protested, and returned for her.

To Nami's chagrin, after he hoisted Venus on his shoulder, zipped away at lightning speed far ahead. "Hey, you! You're too fast!" She stopped to catch her breath, oblivious to being watched. "Urgh, that guy. She's just a liability with that clumsiness." She then perked up at a certain captain. "Luffy! What a relief!" He was standing in front of a tree, hand up as if he was waving. "What are you doing here?" She walked closer, and immediately noticed something was off; he wasn't moving a muscle, and he had a strange texture to him. Before she could react, she was soaked in a strange, white substance.

At the scream of terror, Usopp stopped dead in his tracks. He looked back, and realized it was just the two of them. "N-Nami?"

"Where could she have gone?" Venus wondered aloud, as they scaled the area. She then gasped in realization. "You don't think-?" She stopped, and held onto his neck and shoulders when his legs started shaking.

"Nami! Nami! Nami! Nami!" He glanced every which way, tears of terror falling. "This is not good. Luffy!" He started a mad sprint once more, making Venus yelp in surprise. "Luffy! Luffy! Luffy! Luffy!" He jumped into a clearing. "Luffyyyy!" In his haste, he bounced off a rock, and crashed into a wall, before falling on his back. "Oww." Venus also suffered some brunt; on her backside from the rock, and her head lastly when falling from his grip.

"Oof," She groaned from next to the rock, then perked up at seeing two familiar faces close by. "Hey! Luffy, Vivi!"

Usopp then jumped to his feet, and ran up to them, dragging her behind. "Terrible news! A dinosaur ate Nami!"

"Seriously?!" Luffy exclaimed in horror.

"We were running through the jungle to get away from it, and then suddenly she was gone! Oh! What do I do now?! I let my friend get killed!"

"It was my fault!" Venus cried. "If I hadn't tripped-"

"No, I was going too fast!"

"H-hold on!" Vivi tried to cut in. "Calm down, you three!" They all turned to her, now calm. "If she suddenly disappeared, does that mean you don't know for sure?"

"Are you crazy?!" Usopp exclaimed. "I was too terrified to check, and make sure!"

"Everything was a blur," Venus added.

"If it wasn't a dinosaur, it was a wild beast! What else could it have been?!"

"I don't know," She admitted, "But if people from Baroque Works have followed us onto this island, then it'd make sense why only Nami-san was targeted, and not you two."

"Eh?! Baroque Works is on the island?!" Usopp cried, but then blinked in confusion. "But... why wouldn't they go after me, or Venus-chan?"

"Because you guys are most likely not on Baroque Works' assassination list."

"Oh, I see!"

"Plus, that alcohol might've been meant for us too!" Luffy had an epiphany.

"Alcohol?!" Usopp asked. "What about alcohol?!"

"Broggy brought your alcohol to Dorry," Vivi replied, "And when Dorry drank it, it exploded in his stomach."

"What?! Alcohol exploded inside his stomach?!"

"That's awful!" Venus exclaimed.

Usopp looked behind his back. "You're saying he went to the battlefield all busted up like that?!"

"I tried to stop him, but I wound up like this instead!" Luffy added.

"You can't be serious! Those two've fought evenly for 100 years with all their might! It's probably the most pride-filled battle in the entire world!"

"Yeah," Luffy agreed.

"They can't settle the fight like this now!"

Close by, the duel was still going on. "What's wrong?!" Broggy asked obliviously.

Mr. 3 and Ms. Golden Week were listening in, while on a picnic. "He's still fighting," She remarked through eating a rice cracker.

"Yes. Dorry the Blue Ogre is quite stubborn, indeed." He chuckled. "Perhaps I should assist one of them." The tip of his top knot went ablaze.

Out of nowhere, a wave of wax washed up, and Dorry slipped. 'One century... it was a long battle!' Broggy took advantage of the opening, and swung his axe.

The horrified crew saw the blood flying from by the victim's house. A weakened Dorry fell to his knees, dropped his sword, and collapsed before Broggy. Luffy seethed, as Dorry's last words rang through his mind. 'This is the judgement given by Elbaf, the God of War. I didn't have his divine protection. That's all.' To everyone's shock, he started bashing his face in the ground, repeatedly. "Luffy!" Usopp's eyes widened.

"Luffy-san?!" Vivi exclaimed.

"Stop!" Venus cried.

"Who was it?!" He screamed. "Show yourself!"

In the jungle, Ms. Golden Week looked behind her back at a sudden holler. "Mr. 3, I think I heard something.

He laughed mockingly. "How funny! An underdog loser, yelping out here in the jungle!"

Broggy panted, as he held his bloody weapon. "Seventy-three thousand... four hundred sixty-seven fights... 73,466 draws." He looked up with a wide smile. "And one win!" He dropped his axe on the ground, then set his shield in front of an unmoving Dorry. He turned around upon hearing strange laughter. "Joyful tears of victory, huh?" Mr. 3 remarked. "Simpleminded people have it so easy." He sipped his tea. "Though, perhaps I'll congratulate you for now."

"Joyful tears?!" Broggy glared. "What would you know?! Just who are you?!"

"Mr. 3. Please excuse the codename. I'm a mere formative artist. And this is my realist painter assistant, Ms. Golden Week." He gestured to the girl still eating. "What's more, I've already captured you."

Broggy looked down, and saw that his feet were tightly encased in wax. "W-what is this?!" He tried to pull himself free, but the wax was too strong.

Meanwhile, Luffy was still struggling himself. "Alright, Luffy!" Usopp glared. "I dunno who we're dealing with, but I'll go take care of them myself!" In contrast to his determination, his knees were shaking again.

"Count me in!" Venus decided.

"No!" He protested. "I can't let you!"

Venus frowned up at him. "I'm not helpless, you know. Just because I'm a girl-"

"No, i-it's not that!" He assured. "I'm scared you'll get killed!"

"I'll be fine."

"I can't chance it! Please stay with Luffy!"

She looked up at him, and sighed, before sitting next to the captain. "Okay. Just be careful."

"Then I'm coming too!" Vivi added.

"Yes!" Usopp agreed. "Please come with me! That'd be reassuring!"

"There's no need for that!" Mr. 5!

They all turned around to see him and Ms. Valentine approaching them, the former keeping a battered Karoo hostage. "You guys!" Luffy glared.

Vivi gasped in horror when he was thrown thoughtlessly to the ground, and ran to his aid. "You can have him back. We don't need him."

"Karoo!"

"Why, you...!" Usopp glared, before turning to Luffy. "Hey, who are they?"

"The guys from that last town!"

"What are you doing here?!" Vivi demanded. "Karoo has nothing to do with this!"

"That's right," Mr. 5 agreed, "This bird has absolutely nothing to do with this. The only one we considered dangerous was that Straw Hat man. We were planning to lure you both out by having this bird squawk, but he was too obstinate."

Venus ran to join Vivi by Karoo's side. That explained his injured state; she deduced that they tried to beat a call for help out of him, to draw them in, but he refused through it all. "You're so strong."

"But then we saw Straw Hat already took himself out of the picture. So we have no use for that thing anymore."

"Karoo," Vivi cried, and he quacked weakly.

Ms. Valentine laughed mockingly. "What a stupid bird!"

"Why, you...!" Vivi seethed.

"Don't you insult him! Witchy-Witchy... Ball!" Venus launched an energy ball at her, but she dodged effortlessly.

"Are you the ones who put a bomb in the alcohol?!" Usopp demanded.

"Yes, that was us," Mr. 5 replied, "Who're you? Are those two on the list?"

"No. They must be their friends. But let's make them disappear too!"

"So you interfered with the giants' duel!" Usopp glared.

"It was them?!" Luffy raged through more struggling. "I'll kick their asses!"

Vivi, alongside Venus, jumped to her feet. "You're the ones who are going to disappear!" She whipped out her weapons.

"Oh?" Mr. 5 smirked. "You're going to try struggling, Ms. Wednesday?"

Ms. Valentine laughed. "Do you stand a chance against us Officer Agents?"

Vivi came charging in. "Peacock Slasher!"

"Take this!" Usopp joined in with his slingshot. "Special Attack: Exploding Star!" To his delight, his attack hit its mark. "Yes!"

But Ms. Valentine floated upward, out of the smoke. "What a nice, explosive blast!"

"Nose Fancy Cannon!" Mr. 5 shot a mucus explosive at Usopp, hitting him directly.

Ms. Valentine laughed from high above. "What a pity!"

"Usopp!" Venus' eye widened in terror.

"10,000 Kilogram Press!" Before she could do anything to stop her, Ms. Valentine had the sniper pinned to the ground.

Vivi charged at Mr. 5 with her slashers, but he stepped aside, and tripped her up with an explosive. "Calm down, now!" He caught her by the neck, blocking her airways.

"You big jerk!" A furious Venus began charging in to fight him bare-handed.

"Nose Fancy Cannon!" He shot another explosive, this time at her; she was sent hurtling back, crashing into the boulder, and landing by a horrified Luffy, limp on her side.

"Venus!"

"Venus-chan!" Usopp cried from under Ms. Valentine.

"I don't like being interrupted, shortie." He turned back to Vivi, who watched in horror. "Now Ms. Wednesday, there's no need to be so upset. We're not going to kill you just yet." She struggled to pry his hand off. "We only came to abduct you. On Mr. 3's orders."

"Mr. 3?! The Wax-Wax Fruit man?! He's on this island?!"

"That's right. He's a candle man who controls the wax he secretes from his body."

Luffy's eyes widened. "A candle man?!"

Insert Coin - Chapter 2 / Series Masterlist

Waking up to the cursed sound of Monokuma’s voice, (Y/n) let her body remain in the warm confines of her duvet. Her eyes were heavy and burned whether she had them open or not. Turning, she let her back rest against the mattress, endless stare settled on the ceiling.

Every time she went to close her eyes, Byakuya’s bloody corpse was staring her in the face. His voice festered between her ears as it called her name. Quite possibly the last thing he’d said to anybody was him calling her name for help.

Stabbed over ten times between his abdomen and throat.

It must’ve been excruciating. To be working to bring everyone together only to be brutally murdered in your endeavors.

She can only hope death was quick to lay its merciful hands upon Byakuya’s soul.

And to be boiled alive, even.

A hand came up and over her heart, scrunching up the fabric of her sleepshirt, a new wave of misery banging at her brain as she thought of Teruteru. The Ultimate Cook. No, their Ultimate Chef. The least she could do was honor his wishes in her mind.

To be slathered in slimy batter and caked with breading was a mere inconvenience in comparison to being boiled - being cooked. The heat. The bubbling and popping of your skin as you quickly simmer.

It made her queasy just to think about.

All that pain, all that suffering - brought about by the hands of Nagito Komaeda. The sweet-faced, gentle-smiled boy of luck. The same boy she was planning on meeting in the dining hall.

Sighing through her nose, (Y/n) slowly rose from her bed before swinging her legs over the edge of her bed frame and pushing up to a complete stand. Her body felt like gelatin, mind in a foggy haze as she moved towards her closet, pulling off her makeshift pajamas and trading them in for cleaner versions of the clothes she already had on.

Exiting her cottage, (Y/n) was sure to lock her door before stowing the key away and heading towards the dining hall before anybody sent out a search party for her. The sand crunched under her shoes as she made her way to the dining hall, hopefully, the others had somehow forgotten about the entire night prior. If she could be the only one with the horrid memory of their friends’ deaths, she’d be happy.

Ultimate Peacekeeper and yet she couldn’t even keep two people alive.

Clenching her teeth, (Y/n) shook her head - if she thought like that then she’d be too busy throwing herself a pity party to focus on any of her peers. She reached out to open the dining hall door and stepped inside, and for a split second, her heart picked up at the thought of finding another body.

A corpse laid across the floor and Monokuma’s wretched voice bringing about another body discovery announcement.

Once again, she forcefully shook off her thoughts and pushed forward. Everyone was there. No, two people were missing.

Fuyuhiko, which was no surprise, seemed an avid supporter of being the “lone wolf” of their group. Nagito, on the other hand, was almost never by himself - despite his previous exclamations of being unworthy of a friend, he surely liked the company of the people on the island.

(Y/n) sidled herself up beside Hajime, giving the boy’s side profile a gentle, unnoticed smile - he looked exhausted, “How’re you feeling?”

“Hm,” Hajime flinched at the sudden noise, turning to lock eyes with the mediator, “I feel…” he looked down at his plate sadly, “fine.”

“Alright,” she pat his back, “if you need anything, I’m always available. It’s what I’m here for, Hajime.”

“Right,” the brunette nodded, he let his shoulders droop, defenses falling ever so slightly, “thanks, (Y/n).”

“Of course,” she nodded, looking around the dining hall once again and quirking a brow, “is it just me or… are there people missing?”

Before Hajime could answer her question, Monokuma appeared suddenly inside the cafeteria - frightening a few of the students. Hajime’s brows furrowed, “You can't just pop up out of nowhere like that!"

"Puhuhuhu, but I can!" what a high-pitched drawl, (Y/n) suddenly thought - she’d always been taught that villains have sickeningly deep voices and here Monokuma was, proving her entire life wrong, "I'm here to deliver the next motive!"

"A motive?" Hajime tilted his head in the midst of his confusion.

"It's not that I don't think you all love participating in my super fun killing game or anything..." Monokuma fidgeted, faking a new shy persona, "But, of course, I thought it would be even more fun to give you guys a motive!"

"Well, we've taken care of everything,” Kazuichi immediately rebuffed, “No one is going to kill anymore, no matter what your motive is!"

(Y/n) swung her head to look at the Ultimate Mechanic, “‘Taken care of’, what are you talking about?”

"Whatever you say!" the black-and-white bear waved off, clearly in disbelief of the boy’s words anyway, "If you're interested, there's an arcade machine in Jabberwock Park with a game on it that might have some cool info for you! And that’s as much as you’re getting from me, bye for now!"

"Ooh, fun!" Ibuki blurted out as Monokuma disappeared.

"Fun?” Hajime shook his head, irritation clear on his face, “No! Guys, we absolutely cannot play that game. This is Monokuma's attempt to trap us. Who knows? The game could be filled with lies to get us to kill each other!"

“Hajime’s right,” (Y/n) nodded, “If anyone plays that game, a murder is likely. I know it’ll be hard but we have to do our best to keep alive.”

Hajime could be a good leader. Strong, independent, commanding - a good man. He could be great. Then again, so was Byakuya.

Mahiru looked around and asked the question (Y/n) had before Monokuma arrived, "Wait, where's Nagito?"

Hiyoko giggled, covering her mouth with her hands as she did so, "He's probably too ashamed to show his ugly face around here.”

"No," (Y/n) interrupted, “I don’t think he’d be so self-conscious.”

"Don't worry about it,” Kazuichi waved off, locking his hands behind his head, “He isn't going to bother us anymore."

"What did you do?" (Y/n) pushed herself away from Hajime and toward the mechanic.

"Kazuichi, you probably shouldn't say stuff like that..." Nekomaru’s voice was strange - hasty, as if he was trying to hide something.

"Nekomaru, Kazuichi," (Y/n)’s brows furrowed as she looked between the boys, “Tell me, right now, what did you two do?”

"Well, we..." Kazuichi glanced at Nekomaru, "Took care of him this morning."

"You guys killed someone?" Mahiru exclaimed, face running pale.

"No! What the hell? Of course, not, we didn't do that!" Nekomaru shook his head as if he couldn’t fathom how his suspicious behavior could lead to that conclusion, "We found him on the way here and... tied him up. So he couldn't do anything drastic again! He's on the floor of the room we had the party in, he's- he'll be fine."

"So you guys - without telling anyone - kidnapped Nagito this morning and just left him tied up?" Hajime turned his head between the two, obviously done with the idiots, "Do you understand why that possibly wasn't the most fantastic idea?"

"What were we supposed to do, just let him run around acting like that?" Kazuichi asked, exasperated, "It's fine! He'll live, we just have to bring him food or something once in a while..."

"Now that we're in this mess, it will be difficult to pull us out," (Y/n) crossed her arms, thinking over the situation, “I’ll keep watch over him. I was going to do so anyway, but two people,” she glared directly at the boys of the hour, “decided to act without consulting the group,” as Mahiru prepared a plate, (Y/n) continued, “Just leave Nagito to me, I’ll be a babysitter for him - if anybody has an issue with him, please don’t act on your own until necessary. It could do more harm than good.”

Handing over the plate, Mahiru gave the peacekeeper a nervous smile, "Be careful, okay? Just run outta there if anything weird happens."

“Right,” (Y/n) nodded, taking the plate, “Kazuichi, Nekomaru,” the two hesitantly looked over to her - it felt horribly similar to facing a disappointed parent - she pursed her lips before giving a sympathetic grin, “I get where you two were coming from and I appreciate it, but don’t do something like this again. It’s dangerous.”

The two murmured out their agreements as (Y/n) left.

Crossing from the dining hall to the old building, (Y/n) flexed her fingers as she walked, gut knotting up inside her. Byakuya died there. Her friend, and to some extent, a role model. All because of the man she was going to be spending the rest of their stay at Jabberwock with. She had to. She needed to keep tabs over him if they wanted to avoid something like the party again.

Her hand stopped at the door handle, fingers resting against the cool metal.

She could just let him starve, it’s not like anybody would care. Nobody would check the old building anyway.

Shaking her head, (Y/n) pushed the door open - she’s supposed to be the Ultimate Peacekeeper and she was already dropping the ball with two deaths and a kidnapping. Letting Nagito starve was just a cruel and unusual punishment. An impulsive thought she'd never act on.

And so, putting one foot in front of the other, she continued down the hall Teruteru did. To find Nagito.
