One Piece: Supreme Check-In System-Chapter 75: Vash the Gunslinger vs. God Knight Sommers - Gunsmoke and Thorns
Chapter 75 - Vash the Gunslinger vs. God Knight Sommers - Gunsmoke and Thorns
Dark clouds covered the sky as lightning lit up the stormy sea. Strong fighters battled everywhere, shaking the ocean with their power. In the middle of it all, a lonely ship floated, its deck burned and broken from the fight.
On that wreckage stood two figures.
On one side was Vash the Stampede, the crimson-coated gunslinger whose reputation reached every corner of the world. The wind whipped his spiky blonde hair as his azure eyes burned with a mix of determination and playfulness. In his hand, the custom .45 Long Colt gleamed ominously.
Facing him was Sommers, a sinister elder clad in dark robes embroidered with thorn patterns. His skin was pallid, eyes like twin shards of obsidian. From his hands coiled living, writhing vines tipped with razor-like thorns.
"I have waited for this," Sommers sneered, raising his arm.
"You're annoying already," Vash chuckled, spinning his gun on his finger. "Brat, you still need a hundred years before you can hope to beat me."
Sommers' Devil Fruit: Iba Iba no Mi (Thorn-Thorn Fruit)
Without another word, the deck split as thick, gnarled vines burst from beneath Sommers' feet, lashing toward Vash like a nest of angry serpents. The vines were as thick as tree trunks, covered in barbed spikes capable of tearing through steel.
"You're gonna wreck the whole ship!" Vash laughed, vaulting into the air as the thorns shredded the deck.
The ship exploded in splinters, debris raining down into the heaving sea. The vines coiled through the air, forming a platform of living thorns for Sommers to stand upon.

Vash's Counter Technique: Heaven's Step — Guntrail Platform
With a smirk, Vash flipped midair, pointing his revolver at the writhing mass of vines below. He fired several shots, each round embedding itself into a vine. Upon contact, the bullets expanded into small bursts of kinetic energy, freezing the vines momentarily.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
In the instant of stillness, Vash kicked off the frozen vines, leaping gracefully from one bullet impact to the next, creating makeshift stepping stones in the sky.
"Guess I'll make my own path if you won't share yours!" he joked with a grin.
The wind howled as lightning split the heavens.
Sommers' voice growled.
"You're faster than the reports said. But how long can you dance?"
His thorns lashed out again, hundreds of serpentine vines filling the air, their sheer number creating a deadly cage. Each one whipped like a living whip, slicing through the storm's raindrops.
"Let's see you dodge this!"
Sommers' Technique: Iba Renji Kyūketsu: Makai no Enmu (Thorn Lotus Blood Drain: Demon Fog)
The vines weaved themselves into a rotating sphere, encasing Vash within. As the sphere tightened, a red mist began to seep from the thorns — a toxic vapor capable of melting flesh and bone.
Vash's eyes narrowed.
"Tch. Cute trick."
Vash's Ultimate Bullet Technique: Void Fang: Collapsar Shell
With a flick of his wrist, Vash spun his revolver's cylinder, channeling raw energy from his organic generator core into a fresh chamber. A bullet of pure darkness materialized in the open chamber — a mini-collapsar shell.
"Let's clear the air."
He pulled the trigger.
CRACK!
A dark bullet shot into the middle of the vine ball. In the blink of an eye, the air around it bent and twisted. A tiny black hole appeared, pulling in vines, mist, and pieces of wood with a loud, scary noise.
"Wha-?" Sommers shouted, quickly pulling his vines back. But some of them got caught in the strong pull of the tiny black hole, snapping apart. The swirling force destroyed the vine cage, making the red mist disappear and opening up the battlefield. Vash landed safely on a floating piece of wood, his smoking gun in hand.
"Not bad, old man. But you're slow."
Sommers growled, his left arm badly hurt and barely hanging on by thorny strings. But because he was an immortal God Knight, his body started to heal by itself. The sharp thorns pulled his muscles and skin back together, fixing his arm little by little.
"Your immortality's starting to piss me off," Vash muttered. "But even immortals have their limits."
All around them, the place was a mess of broken wood, rocks, and wild waves. Giant sea monsters called Sea Kings floated far away, already defeated by the huge fights happening nearby. The sky lit up with flashes, and loud booms echoed from battles far away.
Vash cracked his neck.
"Let's up the stakes."
Sommers' Next Assault: Iba Kyoen: Jigoku no Mori (Thorn Bloom: Forest of Hell)
Slamming both hands onto the wreckage, Sommers summoned a forest of massive thorns, each one the size of a battleship's mast. The spiked vines shot into the sky, forming a writhing canopy over the sea.
The entire section of ocean transformed into a lethal jungle.
Vash's face turned serious for the first time.
"Alright then... time to tear down your garden."
Vash's Secret Technique: Final Horizon Barrage
Vash closed his eyes briefly, his organic generator core humming. He opened his palm, forming six collapsar bullets in the air and loaded them into his revolver with blinding speed.
"Six shots. Six openings."
BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM!
Each bullet struck different points of the massive vine forest. Six mini-collapsars erupted in unison, causing catastrophic implosions that devoured entire sections of thorn trees.
The roaring pull of gravity swallowed hundreds of tons of vine and debris.
Sommers staggered as half his forest was erased in seconds. His eyes burned with rage.
"You... goddamn ANT!!"
Final Clash: Iba Kesshō: Kami no Toge (Thorn Armament: God's Thorn)
In desperation, Sommers formed a colossal spear of compressed, haki-coated thorns, twenty meters long, and hurled it with all his might.
Vash, unflinching, met it head-on.
Vash's Answer: Fang of Oblivion
His revolver transformed, its barrel radiating cosmic energy. He fired a single, blinding shot.
The bullet struck the thorn spear midair.
The collision birthed a searing flash of light.
A shockwave flattened the surrounding sea, parting waves like a divine force. The thorn spear shattered into dust.
Sommers was sent flying, half his body obliterated. Even as his immortality began to knit him back together, he coughed blood, eyes wide in disbelief.
Vash holstered his smoking gun.
"You immortals are annoying... but you ain't omnipotent."
The storm raged on as both combatants caught their breath, knowing the battle wasn't over.
Somewhere distant, another explosion rumbled.
