Sonic XF Episode 211: “The Chao Blader Explodes! Sean vs. Baroque Works!”

Previously on Sonic XF, our heroes have just begun their journey in the Grand Line. They were traveling with a strange duo, Mr. 9 and Ms. Wednesday, who wanted to get to Whiskey Peak, their place of residence. After a dangerous storm, they made it to Whiskey Peak, an island filled with people who welcomed anyone who sailed here and loved to party in their honor. Or so it seems, it turns out that they were all work in a criminal group, Baroque Works, as bounty hunters, taking out drunken pirates for their bounties. Sean saw through their plans and takes action to foil their scheme. An epic battle is about to unfold….

Mr. 9: He’s gone!!

Mr. 8: What!? But how!?! How can he just disappear!?!

Everyone looks around…Then….

Bounty Hunters (comically shocked): EH!!?!

Sean causally looks around as well.

Bounty Hunters: !!!?!

**DOOM!!!**

Sean casually stands in the middle of the group of bounty hunters.

Bounty Hunters: EEEEHHHH!!!?!

Mr. 8 and Mr. 9 (comically shocked): !!!!!

Sean: Hmmm….

They back away slowly…

Sean: Heheh.

Gunsmen aim towards Sean as they got him surrounded.

Bounty Hunter A: Who do you think you are!!?! FIRE!!!!!

**BANG BANG BANG!!!**

Sean vanishes again and the bounty hunters shoot each other instead.

Gunners: UAAAGH!!!!

Mr. 8: Incompetent morons!! They shot each other!!

Mr. 9: That swordsman got away!

Ms. Wednesday: ….!!!

Mr. 8 (turns around): AGH, JUST KILL HIM!!!! HE’S JUST ONE BOY!!!

Then we see the red sword going though Mr. 8’s hair slowly.

Mr. 8: !!!?!

Sean stands right behind him, leaning his back against Mr. 8’s.

Mr. 8: …..!!!!

Sean: Ask yourself. Will one gravestone be enough?

Mr. 8: …..!!!!

More gunners surround Sean and Mr. 8.

Bounty Hunter B: THERE HE IS!!! NOW!!!

Mr. 8: NO, DON’T SHOOT!!! WAIT, YOU’RE GOING TO SHOOT ME!!! STOP!!!!

Then, Mr. 8 unleashes an unusual weapon, a tenor saxophone.

Sean: !!!?!

Mr. 8 aims backwards and fires a shotgun-like projectile after playing his sax.

Mr.8: IGARAPPA!!!!

The gunners are shot down by Mr. 8.

Mr. 8: Alright, you idiots. Where did he run off to this time!?

Sean is hiding somewhere nearby the group after Mr. 8’s strange attack.

Sean: So that things a gun, huh? Gotta watch out for that.

Mr. 9: It seems that he might be able to put up a fight even against us.

Ms. Wednesday: ….

Ms. Monday (cracking knuckles): ….

Mr. 8: Grrrgghhh… Can he possibly be arrogantly stupid that he thinks he can take on all of us!?! All by himself!?! What kind of a man would consider challenging us after knowing we all work for Baroque Works??

Meanwhile, Sonic and the others are still asleep.

Cory: [Ladies….please…a bit closer….]

However…

Nami: [So… Whiskey Peak is a whole nest full of bounty hunters?] **awaken** You know I had a feeling just incase.

Bounty Hunter C: He couldn’t have gone far! Find him!

They spread out while Sean remains in the shadows…

Sean: Yamizoku… Give me strength…

He then grips his Chaos Blade once more…

Sean: Alright…Chaos Blade, let’s get to work.

**DOOM!!**

Bounty Hunter D: HAHA I GOT YOU NOW!!!

Sean: !!?!

Sean looks up and finds a bounty hunter pointing a pistol down from the roof.

Bounty Hunter D: DIE!!!

He fires by Sean rolls into a building to evade it.

Bounty Hunter D: There!!

Then many more gunners appear pointing inside a store of some kind. Sean freezes up for a moment.

Sean: !!!!

Sean dives and puts up a table as they open fire.

Sean: Alright. Let’s go!

Sean cuts the table in half and….

Gunners: !!?!

**SLASH!!!**

Sean: HMPH!

Sean quickly appears behind the gunners with such quickness.

Sean: Heh.

Sean goes and the gunners fall after Sean’s slash attack.

Gunners: AAGH!!!

Bounty Hunter E: There’s the sneaky brat!! Get’em, guys!

Sean (running; smirking): ….

Bounty Hunter E: HOLD IT!

Sean: Guess they found me.

Sean runs up the stairs…

Bounty Hunter E: He’s heading your way!!!

Bounty Hunter F: He’s mine!!!

**BOOM!!!**

Sean was going up the ladder but bends backwards to avoid bazooka fire.

Sean: !!?!...Whoa…!

Sean appears to be in a bad situation, being stuck at the ladder.

Bounty Hunter F: Heheheh. Time to die!

Ms. Monday: RAAAAH!!!

She hurls a barrel full of liquor at Sean, but Sean is able to turn and cut the barrel in fours. Those chunks knock the bounty hunters out.

Sean: Awww, that liquor must’ve cost a fortune! What a waste, huh?

Ms. Monday: GRRGGGH!!!

Then a bounty hunter rushes with a stone hammer. Sean cuts it and gives the attacker the boot.

Sean: RUGH!!!

**BAM!!!**

Bounty Hunter G (flies off): WAAAAAHH!!!

Sean: Doing good so far, Chaos Blade.

Then a boy comes charging with a knife.

Young Bounty Hunter: DIIEE!!!

Sean easily parries it and the boy loses the knife. He falls to the ground and a nun comes to his side. He gets close to the nun out of fear.

Nun: No! Please have mercy on the little boy! I beg you! Please, kind sir!

Sean: …

Then...

Nun: OR TRY SOME BLINDING POWDER!!!

They both snicker but Sean knocks them out without looking back.

Sean: You be better off pulling that cheap trick to someone who would actually fall for it. You only get the blunt side of the blade.

Nun and Boy: Uggh….**knocked out**

Sean climbs up the ladder to a higher part and the bounty hunters continue their chase.

Bounty Hunter H: He’s just keeps on climbing!!

Bounty Hunter F: Corner the guy!!

Meanwhile Nami looks around to find anything valuable. But finds nothing.

Nami: Ohhh, this is sad excuse of a group of bounty hunters. This is all what they have?? Whiskey Peak is a thoroughly useless town!!

Meanwhile…

Bounty Hunter F: HAHAHA! THERE’S NO TO RUN NOW!!!

They get up the ladder as one gets to the top, Sean grips the ladder.

Bounty Hunter G: HUH!?

Sean: Heheheh.

Sean plays around by rocking the ladder back and forth.

Bounty Hunter G: AH!!!

Sean: That was fun, see ya! RAH!!!

Sean pushes the ladder back and…

Bounty Hunters: AAAAAHHH!!!

Bounty Hunter H: LOOK OUT! THE LADDER!!!

Sean then leaps towards the next roof.

Bounty Hunter H: He’s heading right towards us!!! SHOOT HIM!!!

Sean: TAKA….!!!

Sean lands and executes the move…

Sean: …NAMI!!!!

Bounty Hunters: BUWAAGGH!!!

Sean: You never dull up, don’t ya blade?

After that attack, more come from above.

Bounty Hunters: HAAAAAHH!!!

Sean then carves a circle around himself and walks away. They land in that circle.

Sean: I wouldn’t be standing there if I were you.

Bounty Hunters: Huh?

That piece of roof gives way and they all fall.

Sean: !!?!

Ms. Monday: RAH!!!

Ms. Monday attacks from behind with a ladder but Sean ducks down.

Sean: Jesus…!!! **gets chocked** GAGH!!!

Ms. Monday then resorts to brass knuckles while gripping Sean’s neck.

Ms. Monday: It was a good effort. But there’s no man who can match my strength!

She lifts Sean up…

Sean: Agh…!

Ms. Monday: You die, swordsman!

She lifts him higher.

Sean: GRGGH!!!

She then slams him down.

Sean: AGGH!!!

Ms. Monday: TASTE MY SUPERHUMAN BRASS KNUCKLES!!!!

Sean: !!!!

Ms. Monday: RAH!!!

**BAM!!!**

A powerful punch is delivered to Sean’s face, cracking the entire roof. Mr. 8 sees the aftershock.

Mr. 8: Well, we wasted—AHEM!—MAH MAH MAAH!!—a lot of time on the boy. Least we put an end to him. Now let’s go.

Mr. 8, Mr. 9, and Ms. Wednesday walk away but…

Ms. Monday (off-screen): UUUAAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHH

Mr. 8, Mr. 9, and Ms. Wednesday: !!?!

Mr. 9: Ms. Monday!!!

Sean is found gripping Ms. Monday’s head. The muscular woman is beginning to give into the smaller swordsman.

Ms. Monday: WWAAAAAAGGGHHHH!!!! AAAAAHHH!!!!

Sean: What’s the matter, muscle woman? Didn't you wanna pit your strength against mine? AH?

She starts losing grip…

Sean: I guess you lose this time.

Sean’s grip renders Ms. Monday unconscious as she falls to the floor.

Sean’s forehead bleeds…

Sean: Is that all you can offer, Baroque Works?

Sean licks the blood near his mouth.

Sean: You’re gonna need to do a lot better than that.

Mr. 8: …..!!

Sean stands above Mr. 8 and the others and wipes off the blood on his face completely.

Sean: ….

Bounty Hunter I: It can’t be! He really beat Ms. Monday!?!

Bounty Hunter J: No!! That’s not possible!!

Mr. 8: !!!...It all makes sense now….! That poster!!

Mr. 9: It does makes sense. Sonic must be just a coverup! He’s the real threat!

Ms. Wednesday: Yeah. He must be. It seems strange that that weakling has such a high price.

Mr. 8: Even if this guy is the real deal, then this is getting disgraceful. The boss put us in charge of this island and he’s not going to be pleased if we lose to one measly pirate!

Ms. Wednesday: Well then, looks as if we finally get to fight!

Sean: ….

Mr. 9: Something you may not know, Bounty Hunter King… is that the smaller the number the higher the rank is as well as their power. Take the two of us, Mr. 9 and Mr. 8. We’re single digit agents, and don’t forget Ms. Wednesday. Our abilities are much greater than the rift raft you’ve been fighting all this time.

Sean: Hah, fancy titles mean nothing when it comes to fighting. The strongest wins. That’s it.

Mr. 9: Hmph…

Sean: ….

Mr. 8: IGARAPPA!!!

He fires his saxophone and Sean evades it.

Mr. 9: Let’s go, Ms. Wednesday!!

Ms. Wednesday: Of course, Mr. 9!

Mr. 9 jumps up towards Sean while Ms. Wednesday whistles to call for someone.

Ms. Wednesday: Come here, Karoo!

Karoo: QQUAAAAAAHH!!!

Karoo is a large duck capable of riding people. He simply raises out his wing.

Ms. Wednesday (comically mad): NO! NOT SHAKE!!! COME HERE!!!

Later, she rides on Karoo.

Ms. Wednesday: Come on, Karoo. Show them who’s the fastest!? Leave them in the dust!

Karoo: QUAAAAAAHH!!!

Karoo sits down.

Ms. Wednesday: I didn’t tell you to sit!!! DAMMIT!!! **bops Karoo**

Karoo: AH!!

Sean: You kidding me?? A duck??

Mr. 9: Wahahahaha!

Sean: ??

Mr. 9: Distracted?? How can you hope to follow my acrobatics!?!

Mr. 9 was high by the church bell and comes down with many backflips.

Mr. 9: Get a taste of my acrobatic bats!!!

Sean blocks the incoming attack. Mr. 9 flips over Sean and gains some distance.

Mr. 9: You better be careful not to chip your precious blade! Hahahahah!

Sean then raises his sword.

Mr. 9: Huh? What too afraid to fight me?

Sean dashes towards Mr. 9 and points his sword right at his face.

Mr. 9: WAAH!!!

Sean goes on the offensive while Mr. 9 parries with his two bats.

Mr. 9: !!!!

Sean: What happen to your fancy acrobatics, huh?

Mr. 9: Watch carefully!

Mr. 9 performs a big backflip off the roof. However…

Mr. 9: AH!

Sean: Huh? Hm…

Mr. 9: AAAAHHH!!!

Mr. 9 crashes into a fruit stand below.

Sean: Is this really what the best has to offer?

Ms. Wednesday: There’s better. I’m still here. Are you ready, Mr. Bushido?

**DERP!!!**

Ms. Wednesday stands on her duck.

Sean: …?

Ms. Wednesday takes a dancer’s stance.

Ms. Wednesday: Take a look, bad boy.

Sean: Hm?

Ms. Wednesday has small bottles of perfume in hand. She sprays them and resorts to belly dancing.

Ms. Wednesday: Now, time for my perfume dance. Ahahaha…!

Sean: !!!!

Sean begins to lose strength it seems like and falls to one knee.

Sean: Agghh….!!!!

Ms. Wednesday: Good boy. Ahahah!

She then puts on what appears to be her weapons, wielding from her pinky.

Ms. Wednesday: NOW! PEACOCK SLASHER!!! GO KAROO!!!

Karoo: QUAAAAAH!!!

Sean: !!?!

They charge towards Sean but…..

Ms. Wednesday: You ran right past him!!

Karoo then runs out of roof and….

Karoo: Quah?

Ms. Wednesday and Karoo: WWAAAAAHHHHH!!!

**CRASH!!!!**

We see an off-screen crash with many things breaking.

Sean: These guys are so pathetic it’s starting to get embarrassing.

Sean: !!!?!

Mr. 8 fires his sax and Sean does once more. Sean has used the hole he created earlier to escape.

Mr. 8: He slipped down through that hole. That won’t keep him safe. Come back here, swordsman! And get a taste of just how dangerous I am!

Sean: That horn of his complicates things.

From the pile of debris….

Mr. 9: RRRAAAAAAAHH!!!

Mr. 9 risen and walks to find his target.

Mr. 9: You may have won the first round, but you won’t get away with it! No tricks from you this time!!

Sean: I didn’t do anything, you jumped off the building.

Mr. 9: Now for my Homerun Sneaky Bat!

Mr. 9 launches the tip of his bat, attached to a chain like a flail, and it wraps around Sean’s arm.

Sean: !?!

Mr. 9: Hahahaa! Whatcha gonna do now, brat!?!

Sean: Kick your ass!

Mr. 8: Hmph! Excellent work!

Mr. 9: Hahahaha! Come on! Do it, Mr. 8! Now! Ahahahah! You can’t get away!

Ms. Wednesday: That’s right! Don’t you move!

**DOOM!!!**

Ms. Wednesday has a sleeping Kyo as her hostage while wielding a knife in hand.

Ms. Wednesday: If you even think about anything foolish, Mr. Bushido, your friend here will be paying the price.

Sean: !!!...Kyo!

Mr. 9: Hmhmhm Hahahahaha!! Well done, Ms. Wednesday! It looks like there won’t be any escape for him this time, unless he wants his friend to die!

Sean: Dammit! What did you guys spike into their drinks!?

Mr. 8: Preparing to fire!

Mr. 8 pulls on his tie and guns emerge out from his hair curls.

Mr. 8: Firing Squad, ready!!

Sean: The hell!?!

Then, Mr. 8 pulls on the loops.

Mr. 8: Igarapapa!!!

Sean: More guns!? Great!!

Sean uses his super strength to pull Mr. 9 towards the projectile.

Mr. 9: !!!?!

Ms. Wednesday: AH!!!!

Mr. 9: HAAAAAAHH!!!

Sean: RAH!!

**BOOM!!!**

Mr. 9 takes the hit.

Sean: RRRRUUUUUAAAAAH!!!

He hurls Mr. 9 towards Ms. Wednesday and her duck. He crashes into his partner and the duck and they both crash into a building.

Mr. 8: Igarapapa!!!

Sean dodges it…

Mr. 8: Igarapapa!!!

Sean dodges it once more and runs up a building.

Sean: Here goes!!

Sean jumps off from the wall and up to Mr. 8.

Mr. 8: !!!?!

**SLASH!!!**

Blood spurts out from Mr. 8’s chest.

Mr. 8: GGAGGH!!!!

Sean puts away his sword and Mr. 8 is out cold as he falls to the street.

Sean: Done.

Sean walks to the edge of the roof and sits down for the moment.

Sean: Hah, now I can get some peace and quiet.

Kyo: Zzzz…..

We find three bounty hunter running away from the scene.

Bounty Hunter J: Those agents were beaten by him!!

Bounty Hunter K: We’ve got to escape from here!!! But where do we go!!?!

Bounty Hunter L: We’re just gonna have to find a place to hide til this blows over!!

Then, then Unluckies fly into the scene.

Three Bounty Hunters: The Unluckies!!! WAAAAH!!!

**DOOM!!!**

They stand on the Cactus Graveyard sign.

Bounty Hunter J: Hold on a sec! I know it looks like we’re running away but we’re not I promise!!

Bounty Hunter L: PLEASE SPARE US!!! PLEASE DON’T REPORT US TO THE BOSS, OKAY!!?!

The Unluckies then leap to attack them.

Three Bounty Hunters: AAAAAAAHHH!!!

However…

Mysterious Man (off-screen): Hold it!

They land and stop…

Mysterious Woman: There’s a lot of action tonight for such a sleepy town. Shouldn’t everyone be in bed?

Mysterious Man: Hah, the boss sends us all the way into the frontlines and this is what we find? What a little pathetic group.

Unluckies: !!?!

**BOOM!!!**

This is occurring off-screen…

Three Bounty Hunters (off-screen): WAAAAAAHH!!!!

We find the three hunters down while the Unluckies were out of the way. The cloud of explosion covers their appearances.

Sean had a bottle of liquor in hand but noticed that explosion.

Sean: !?!

Mr. 8: No…I can’t die here…I have an important mission to complete! I must keep going! Grrrgghh….!!!

The rest of the agents are down as well, sitting behind Mr. 8.

Mysterious Man (off-screen): The three of you lost against a single pirate or something? Now that’s just sad…

Mr. 8 and the others: !!?!

Two new people make their appearance before them.

Mr. 8: Mr. 5!! Ms. Valentine!!

Mr. 5: Really….can’t do your jobs. Huh…

**DOOM!!! [Mr. 5]**

Ms. Valentine: Kyahahhahahahahaah! Well, that’s clearly the difference between our rank and your’s.
 
**DOOM!!! [Ms. Valentine]**

Mr. 8: You came here….just to laugh at us??

Mr. 5: Nah, that’s a bonus.

Ms. Valentine: Kyahahahaha! We’re here under direct orders from the boss.

Mr. 9: Ahahahah…You guys came here to defeat him? He doesn’t stand a chance against you guys.

Ms. Wednesday: That’s right. Let’s track him down and show the Baroque Work’s true power!

Mr. 5: Hmhm. Seriously, Ms. Wednesday. Cut the bullshit. We didn’t come here to clean up your mess.

Ms. Valentine: You really think we come all the way to the end of the Grand Line to hold your hands? Haha! You’re more pitiful than you look! Kyahahahaha!

Mr. 9: Then what mission are you here for!?!

Mr. 5: You haven’t figured it out yet? There are people whose crimes against the company that are grave enough that the boss sends us to deal with them.

Ms. Wednesday: ….

Mr. 9: Huh??

Mr. 5: He said someone had learned the secrets. I don’t know what secrets exactly, and I don’t wanna know. Obviously someone else did. Knowing those secrets is against company rules. Our motto is mystery. Anyone’s identities need to be kept secret as much as possible, no matter who they are. If someone’s dumb enough to nosing around the boss’s business, well then…That’s a crime punishable by death.

Ms. Valentine: So, while we were conducting our search to find those who know those secrets, we’ve learned something. Kyahahaha! It turns out that a rather high ranking individual from a kingdom has somehow managed to infiltrate Baroque Works.

Mr. 9: A kingdom?

Nami is seen eavesdropping on them…

Nami: ….!

Mr. 9: Now hold on a sec! I get it…I may be wearing a crown but I’m not a king or anything like that I swear it’s just an innocent little hobby!

Ms. Valentine: Shut up, you idiot!

Mr. 5: You still don’t get it? The infiltrator is from none other than the Kingdom of Alabasta. They’re the ones who know.

Mr. 8: Oh no…Have we been…!? It’s all over now….!!!

Then….

Mr. 8: DIE!!! IGAPAPA!!!!

**BOOM!!!**

Mr. 8: YOU WILL NOT LAY SINGLE HAND ON THE PRINCESS!!! NOT WHILE THE CAPTAIN OF ALABASTA SECURITY STILL STANDS!!!

Ms. Wednesday: IGARAM!!!

Mr. 5: Igaram, Captain of Alabasta Security, and Princess Vivi Nefetari of Alabasta Kingdom. We are here under direct orders of the boss of Baroque Works to see that you are both eliminated.

Mr. 5 holds a picture of Princess Vivi in hand.

Nami: !!!

Meanwhile Sean watches from above.

Sean: Well, this oughta be good. Kyo’s down there. The son of the Kagezoku General…and the Princess of Alabasta are in same place without even knowing.

Vivi: !!!?!

Mr. 5 and Ms. Valentine: ….
