[Hachinosu, The New World]
.
"Shakky-nee sama is back!" A man roared out.
A fleet of ships had just arrived with Shakky's Division.
*Poof*
A cloud of smoke floated over the young woman as she walked down the ramp.
Her assistants walking behind her.
.
"Hmm, what a morbid atmosphere…" Shakky commented as she smelled the stench of blood and death in the air.
"Shakky-sama, you finally returned from Sabaody!" A secretary yelled out as he collected her jacket.
.
"Hmm, tell me who has arrived so far," She said while heading towards Skull Rock.
"Yes!" He said. "The Three Titans have arrived. Silver Axe-sama, Captain John-sama as well. Damien-sama left to save Kaido-sama."
Shakky stopped abruptly.
.
"Damien-chan left of G-2?" She then turned towards the fodder and shook him by the neck, "Speak, when did he leave?"
"Ahh! H-He left nearly 6 days ago!" The man stammered.
*Thud*
Shakky tossed him to the side and looked to her left.
.
"Amber, tell me who the Admiral dispatched to G-2?" She asked with a solemn voice. "It's not Kurowashi is it?"
Amber answered immediately, "Admiral Kurowashi was initially stationed there however he was called to the New World recently."
*Phooo*
Shakky let out a relieved sigh as she shook her head.
"Is there something wrong, Shakky-sama? Isn't Kurowashi the weakest of the 3?" Amber asked as she noticed her boss's odd behaviour.
...
"Kurowashi's strength is indeed nothing impressive but his devil fruit is not something you can take lightly, especially at a marine base..."
She shook her head, "Nevermind that, let's go."
----------------------------------------------
[The Marine Base of G-2]
.
"What is going on here!" A Vice Admiral yelled out as he saw the chaos.
G-2 was a large base and currently, they had lost all contact on the west side.
.
"Vice Admiral Bollox! W-We're under atta-"
BOOOOOM!
"RAAAWR!"
The report was interrupted as a loud primal roar filled the region.
Bollox narrowed his vision towards the trespasser.
.
His face turned solemn, "Ancient Zoan…"
.
The one attacking was a giant dinosaur nearly 6 meters tall.
It had a thick dome-like skull with bones protruding out of its body.
The Ancient Model of the Pachycephalosaurus!
[A/N: Image]
.
"Little marines, come play with daddy!" Bozo yelled out as he was in his base-zoan form.
He swung his tail into the mounted cannons as they were destroyed by the sheer weight and strength.
BOOM!
A volley of cannonballs erupted as the cannons further away started firing.
.
"Bozozozozo! This won't be enough!"
Bozo then charged ahead with his dome-head easily enduring the heavy fire, every step leaving behind large footprints.
*Chained Explosions*
His skull smashed onto the cannons as they were utterly decimated!
---
On the other side of the field was another problem.
.
"Another Ancient Zoan!" Bollox yelled out in panic as he saw the carnage.
.
"The Commander is quite generous, let me repay him with a spectacular performance!"
.
It was a giant snake!
Obazoba had eaten the Ancient Model of the Titanoboa!
It had razor-sharp scales that stemmed out of its cold skin with a green pattern printed over its body. Sharp fangs added with incredibly thick scales made for a deadly enemy!
[A/N: Image]
.
Obazoba was in his base form, nearly 13 meters long with enough power to crush humans like toys.
*Whip*
The thick tail coiled around and ripped through the air as it smashed upon the platoons of marines before it.
A tall Rear Admiral of 16-feet height ran towards the Titanoboa in an attempt to wrestle it.
A powerful punch was thrown as the snake danced around the marine, coiling around his body.
.
"AUghh!"
The squeezing strength was applied all over the man's body as his insides were crushed and his eyes popped out of their sockets.
.
"Enough of this madness!" A voice thundered out as a man landed near the destroyed area.
.
Vice Admiral Bollox, a man nearing the Mid-Tier Yonko Commander Stage!
He had a buzz cut with a rather apparent scowl etched on his middle-aged face.
.
"Pirate scum! I shall kill you now!"
.
Yet suddenly, a shadow danced out of the distance as they attacked the Vice Admiral.
*Slash!*
A sharp saber cut forth towards the man as he blocked it with his own sword.
*Clang!*
"Hmm, you have decent Haki!" Bollox commented as he clashed swords with the attacker.
It was Juni who had arrived!
.
Juni danced through the air as he was on the losing end, yet continued to attack.
He imbued impressive Haki as his saber descended towards the Vice Admiral.
'Soru'
Bollox disappeared and reappeared behind him.
*Slash!*
"DIE!" His haki-clad sword cut down towards Juni's open back.
.
*Furl*
Yet something odd happened.
Juni's body suddenly blew up into hundreds of pieces of paper as they floated in the wind and landed elsewhere.
"Fruit powers again!"
.
*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*
3 shots suddenly went off as some odd-coloured bullets hit the Vice Admiral in the back.
"Ugh!"
He stammered as the bullets started to liquefy and enter his body.
"W-What is this?" The man questioned as his body slowed down.
.
"A strong dose of depressants slow down anyone, mi amigo," Pablo said as he smoked his cigar.
The Drug-Drug Fruit allowed one to use all types of drugs. This includes stimulants, depressants, hallucinogens and many even drugs that affect your hormones!
---
.
"Charging Radon!"
.
Bozo in his dinosaur form charged towards the stunned Vice Admiral as his haki-clad skull smashed upon the man.
*Crack*
The spine broke as he was sent rolling in the dirt as the rain poured down over his immobile body.
.
*Thud* *Thud* *Thud*
3 shadows then landed in front of the pirates.
.
"To think Bollox would fall here." One of them said.
Pablo continued his smoking as he commented, "3 more Vice Admirals."
"RAAWR!"
"SSSsss~!"
*Furl*
A large amount of paper rained down as a man stood beside the ancient models.
*Splash*
2 people appeared, one rather dramatically.
An orange-brown stream of liquid materialized into a humanoid form.
.
The Vice Admiral clicked his tongue, "A Logia as well… just who is so bold to attack with such drama."
----------------------------------------------
[In The Forest Outside of G-2]
.
"Indra, those 6 are fighting off 3 Vice Admirals," Thane said as he narrowed his eyes to the distance.
"Hmm, the Vice Admirals inside have been drawn out so we can begin the next plan…" Indra said with a thin smile.
"I was getting bored sitting here," Bazoon said as he picked up his weapon.
"The boss will hold back the Admiral, us 3 shall sneak in and rescue the Beast." Indra gave out the order.
"Let's go."
----------------------------------------------
[Main Gate of G-2]
.
The main side of G-2 had 2 sets of walls.
The main one was where the 4000 men were guarding alongside the giants and another wall with another 2000 men far back.
The walls were painted with camo-green with many cannons mounted upon them.
The rain kept pouring as a soft fog flooded the area, limiting the view.
.
The 4000 marines were led by the 3 giant Vice Admirals.
"DON'T PANIC! IT'S JUST SOME RATS ON THE WEST SIDE!"
A giant thundered out as he smashed his club on the ground as some cracks formed around it.
"""""OOOOOUGH!"""""
The thousands of marines roared out as their morale was sky-high.
.
On the far left, nearly 500 meters away was a rather large hill and mounted upon it was the flag of the World Government.
[A/N: Image]
*Thunder*
A bolt of lightning suddenly hit the hill as sparks of light went off.
A blazing flame ignited the flag as it was obliterated.
.
A marine commodore who ate the Zoom-Zoom Fruit saw the activity and narrowed his vision.
.
"There's someone there!"
.
His words were enough to draw the eyes and the attention of the thousands of marines.
*Step*
*Step*
*Step*
Rhythmic steps resounded the region as the ground seemed to slightly shake in their wake.
Even in the pouring rain and the coming fog, every marine was clearly able to see the silhouette of a man.
The Zoom-Zoom fruit user identified the person.
.
"T-That is…!"
He took a deep gulp as his body subconsciously moved back, knocking the people behind him. It was a primal instinct to retreat immediately!
.
This was occurring all over the base.
They couldn't make out the face or any real physical attribute but they saw one thing.
The crimson eyes reflected through the countless raindrops, peering their way into the marines' souls.
.
The Vice Admirals did not cower, after all, a giant's pride is not something to overlook, but they did feel the intimidation.
The middle giant looked at the shaken marine, "Speak up, Commodore, who is it?"
.
The man furiously nodded as he looked back at the man overlooking the base.
"H-He's one of the Rocks Pirates Division Commanders!"
.
He took a deep breath once more and went on, "The one who unarmed Zephyr-sama and obliterated G-4, Sin Incarnate Damien!"
.
His words echoed over the drenched marines as they eyed the dark shadow half a kilometer away, fearing their lives.
After all, this man destroyed G-4 so can't he do the same thing here?
.
Yet all thoughts disappeared as a single voice went off.
It was not magnified or anything, just the voice you would use to talk to the person in front of you yet it was heard everywhere.
.
"What terrible weather…"
.
As soon as the words were out, something rather astonishing happened.
A red column of pure energy blazed out from the dark silhouette as it raged into the sky like a flaming pillar.
*FWOOOOM*
Under the display of the red dawn, the clouds, the weather, the rain, it all started to shake uncontrollably as it was starting to divide into a red checkered-like pattern.
The endless clouds were now nothing but red gases with a cube-like appearance.
A sound of pixelation went off as it filled the entire island of G-2. The entirety of the weather was obliterated as they were reduced to microscopic sizes.
.
"I-Is this the power of a god!?" A man uttered while the rest were left dumbfounded.
.
The visage of the pirate was also clear as the feeling of death swarmed in their minds.
"A bounty of 2.3376 billion berries… I can't even count that high."
"We can still win this... right?"
"D-Don't panic everyone! There's 4000 of us and 1 of them! We can surely win!" An optimist shouted out.
-----
Damien, who had cleared up the weather, was overlooking the base.
With the rain removed, it was a rather impressive structure.
.
"Draw out the Admiral eh? I only have 2 days maximum before any troublesome reinforcements arrive…" He said while humming a tune.
His mission fully thought out, Damien leaped forth.
Boom!
The mountain beneath him started to crack all over as it was crushed to bits from his jump.
*FWOOOO*
The air howled as Damien descended from nearly 200 meters in the sky.
*THUD!*
The marines felt a quick tremor as the Sin Incarnate landed with a crater beneath him.
.
"DO NOT FEAR HIM! JUSTICE WILL ALWAYS REIGN!" The giant Vice Admiral yelled out as the marines put on a brave front.
.
Damien now stood half a kilometer away from the small army of marines.
A wet patch of grass separating the 2 forces.
[A/N: Image of the Battlefield]
.
*Shake*
The marines had gathered some courage as they were suddenly caught off-guard as Damien charged ahead with little care, zooming directly at them.
His eyes were indifferent as a small smile crept onto his youthful face.
.
The newer recruits were frozen.
"HE'S COMIN-"
The man's head was removed from his shoulders as Damien fired some Air Cannons towards the masses, shredding hundreds in the process.
A marine commodore roared out as he slashed down a sword onto Damien's back.
*Snap*
The blade shattered into small pieces as Damien grabbed him by the face and ripped it out, his spine dangling in the air.
*FWMMM*
A beautiful black shine reflected off the hanging spine as it was coated in Armament.
.
*FWOOO*
Damien used it as a whip as he slashed across the hordes of marines, ripping them in halves, dyeing the grass a fresh scarlet.
Boom!
He then leaped into the air and sent down some powerful attacks.
'Crescent Slash'
He used the evolved version of Rankyaku as a silver arc of energy raged onto the ground as it met the marines.
"Ahh!"
"OUGH!"
"AoooO!"
.
'What does it take to bring out an Admiral?' Damien thought in his head as he continued the killing spree.
He could easily remove these fodders with a single attack but he wanted to warm up a little before clashing with a stronger foe.
.
"YOU'RE OPEN!" A giant Vice Admiral yelled out as he brought down his gigantic Haki-clad axe upon Damien.
*CLANG!*
Damien's blackened hand grabbed the axe by the blade as cracks creaked upon it.
.
"You're in the way."
.
*Shatter*
The axe shattered into countless metallic pieces as Damien's hand shot forth and grabbed the giant by the face.
.
"Crumble."
.
Cold words echoed in the head of the giant as he felt the weight of a mountain squeeze his very being from all sides as blood rushed to his head.
...
*Splat*
Right before the remaining 2300 marines, a powerful Vice Admiral was squashed as endless volumes of blood poured down.
*Vzzzz*
The scariest thing was the Sin Incarnate who was doused in blood started to exude a black mist as the crimson liquid was absorbed into his regal attire.
"Stop struggling. Since your Admiral won't come out then you are nothing but living corpses." He said.
.
"Impending Disaster."
.
Damien's body suddenly erupted with powerful crimson energy as a ripple of pure pulverizing energy was released from his body in a spherical shape.
Everything in the vicinity was crushed From skin to bones to dust.
Even the air itself exploded from the attack.
.
Groans of despair echoed through the wrecked grounds as the remaining men stood in pure fright.
Only 120 remained.
.
"YOU SCUM! I'LL END YOU!"
The giant roared out as he charged forth with great speed.
.
Damien pointed out a single finger aimed at the Vice Admiral's head.
'Air Cannon'
A thick beam of air currents shot out from his finger as it nailed itself onto the marine's head.
The Vice Admiral dropped dead with lost, open eyes.
.
"Cheh, I've run out of patience…" Damien shook his head with a sigh.
*FWWWWM*
His left arm shined with a solid coat of Haki.
*Purrup*
A red mist started to exude from the arm as another red bubble wrapped around it.
It was a pure combination of Advanced Haki and his Fruit Powers!
Damien was about to smash his fist onto the ground, no doubt with enough power to split the very earth for kilometers on out.
.
*RUMBLE*
Yet something odd occurred.
*RUMBLE*
He looked around the landscape as the island seemed to be shaking from a terrifying power.
*RUMBLE*
Damien raised an eyebrow as he saw the earth mould itself, rising out with incredible speed and mass.
In a wide circle around the Sin Incarnate was a cage of pure earth.
A range of mountains!
.
The remaining marines rejoiced.
.
Nearly 800 meters in the sky was a silhouette of a man.
His arms were raised, mirroring the formation of the sudden rise of mountains.
.
Damien looked up with a grin,
"You are rather late to the party, Basara-san."
"Did I catch you at a bad time?"
