OP73: World Dwarfing Battle II
Added 2023-09-13 18:28:39 +0000 UTCIf they had to compare it with anything, it would be like swimming under a dense sea filled with powerful whirlpools. Currents of strong water gushed through and left behind a feeling of powerlessness around one's body, such was the impact that Veyron's sword transmitted to them.
A tyrannical energy enveloped his sword, it was invisible but one could see the energy colliding and twisting like snakes around his giant sword.
As if the tyrannical energy on its own was not enough, Veyron released it. He swung it and released the attack against the whole group of governmental agents and the new 'God' of Skypea.
!!!
Immediate threat to one's life and existence.
The blade was not filled with rhythms of grandiose or explosions of might, it was a silent sword with a silent energy that traversed through the land, except... wherever that sword passed, it was as if reality itself was bending!
'What is that!?'
That was the question in the CP0 and Enel's mind. In Primrose and her daughters' mind, in the Marine ladies' mind. They just couldn't understand what it was but wherever it went, the soil twisted and groaned, the air compressed... it was silent destruction.
*CHA!*
Just releasing the attack wasn't everything that it entailed, Veyron's red eyes were fixed on it with black lightning being released through them, he had trained this strike well enough to use it confidently... but at the end of the day, it was his first time using it against a foe.
A gust of darkness covered Peter's body, he moved at ridiculous speeds intending to evade the attack while Enel transformed into a bolt of lightning, doing much the same.
All the members of the CP0 felt one thing: were they not to evade this attack, decimation, a fate where a corpse was not even left behind, awaited.
*WHOOOSHH!*
Using their Rukushiki they flickered away as far as they could from this land because the attack was spreading in the area the longer it went.
Veyron sweated, black lightning leaving his body while he controlled the gusts of Kinetic energy that spread from his attack, destroying everything in his path. He had hoped to end everything with a single strike. By the end of it, no explosion resonated, not a big cataclysm... but half of the forest was gone with all trees twisting in odd shapes or torn away from the soil as if they had been grasped by a gigant and yanked out, the ground itself generated mountains or sank into deep pits.
It was as if reality itself was a playground for that invisible energy. Primrose, Hancock and the marine ladies watched the boy with pale skin. Even Hancock -who loved her boyfriend with madness and never thought he'd ever raise his hand against her- couldn't help but feel intimidated by this attack.
'He never used the technique against us'.
She sparred against Veyron daily for a whole year, never once had he used that devastating attack. Perhaps because he knew the consequences of that action.
The boy clicked his tongue in annoyance when he saw not a single one of his foes had fallen, they were all far away from his reach, sweating and frightened.
'I need to do some alterations. It is destructive, but too slow... I need something faster than that'.
...
While the engineer considered what alterations he needed to make to make his attack more 'effective', all of the CP0 members thought about how their lives were about to be forfeited by this boy by a mysterious power that they couldn't even tell.
'What is his devil fruit!?' Just by looking at this attack, they couldn't answer that simple question. They could begin to think about what sort of power could allow a boy to fly and also... cause this much devastation.
"You're a monster indeed. This has stopped being a game. Everyone here must die!"
The man from the CP0 with a bob-cut hat, Guernica, seemed to have made up his mind. The boy has potential, and he has precedent, but it was completely different to read his achievements in the newspapers, compared to experiencing his danger first-hand.
How did he manage to hold his own against Monkey D. Garp? Now they knew.
'If that attack had hit, we wouldn't be here... whatever he did just now, that attack can't be blocked. If instead of a moving target, that was a city, like Marie Geoise...'
"Dracule Veyron, you can't be allowed to live!"
Before he could attack though, two opponents charged like literal bolts of lightning towards the boy.
*WHOOSHH!!*
Peter Hornigold knew that the boy in front of him wasn't an infant now.
'He's as dangerous as his mother!'
*CLAANG!!*
The shock of two swords impacted the land, one was Youbi coated in armament Haki, and the other was Peter's dark sword. Veyron's neutral gaze looked at Peter's eyes concealing thrill and venomous feelings under that skull mask.
"If I kill you, I wonder how she will feel!?"
Sparks were produced and the darkness tried to corrode Youbi's edge callously.
Veyron closed his eyes and sighed, he receded the force of his strike, feeling how Enel approached from behind with a palm imbued in lightning.
"You can't be that much stronger... I REFUSE TO BELIEVE YOU'RE WAY STRONGER THAN ME, A GOD!".
Peter felt himself fall forward the moment Veyron's resistance stopped, but that wasn't all, Veyron switched the direction of the strike and released Youbi.
!!!
A confused Peter didn't know what was going on; as if impulsed by magic, the momentum of his strike increased even against his will.
Veyron's eyes closed and his senses increased; he seemed to look at everything as if it was slow-motion, that lightning palm of his was way slower than a kick from Primrose, it was a future he had seen ages ago. He kicked Enel's abdomen with Haki, and the man gasped and coughed blood, his lightning body completely disregarded.
With a swift movement, Veyron placed the pitiful God's neck on the path of Peter's falling sword whose momentum he was controlling with Psychokinesis.
!!!
It all took less than three seconds and for the whole time; Veyron's eyes were closed.
"You may have been decent opponents perhaps three months ago, but my path of growth is exponential, you're my match no longer".
"You!-"
Peter's dark sword couldn't be stopped, he tried but his body was already moving on its own and falling quickly, his dark sword imbued in Haki would soon reap Enel's life away.
"BASTARD!"
With no other option, Peter's Haki receded. His dark sword decapitated Enel, but the man's lightning body just split in two.
*CHAA!!*
Enel flickered away and materialised back, grasping his neck and sweating profusely, Just now he could have died a pitiful death.
Veyron smirked at his failed attempt to end things quickly "Clever, but..."
!!!
*FIUUSH!*
Peter saw that future approaching as swiftly as an assassin at night. Youbi floated on its own, like having its own will, completely unpredictable to any fighter.
"You forgot about my sword".
It pierced through Peter's arm, slicing it clean in a bloody display.
"HAAAAAA!!!"
It would have pierced his heart if he hadn't evaded in time.
<100.000 BOLT BARI!>
Enel realises things are worse than imagined, 'this boy's mantra is on another level!'
A lightning strike capable of decimating a small town shot towards Veyron who merely pointed the bloodied Youbi towards it.
*BOOOOMMM!!*
The sword caught the lightning bolt and then... it stopped.
"..."
Enel looked in disbelief at how his attack did nothing, not even a little burn. As for Veyron... his foot sank into the soil, redirecting the charge back to earth.
"I don't expect you to know how an electric circuit works".
"Who are you...? JUST WHO ARE YOU?!"
"I'm Dracule Veyron and I-"
Before he could finish his words, Veyron saw a future that made him not know whether to laugh or cry.
<Mero mero merow!>
*WHOOOSH!*
He floated away from the incoming beam that looked nothing like that of the manga, The current Hancock was on another level, she could use her conqueror Haki to an advanced degree even making her devil fruit stronger.
A massive beam of pink light shot in their direction. Peter Hornigold and Enel saw it coming in confusion, wherever that beam passed, everything was turned into stone... whether they or 'it' thought Hancock was attractive or not, it didn't matter.
*CHA!*
Enel flickered away from the strike while Peter groaned and his body dematerialised like darkness from this world, reappearing next to the stunned duo.
As if they hadn't been trying to mercilessly slaughter each other just now, Veyron, Enel and Peter look in disbelief at the battle between Hancock and the agent from the CP0, Stussy.
The latter evaded the beam by jumping and two devil-like wings sprouted from her back together with an ominous black aura.
"If there is something I hate in this world, is working hard!"
*WHOOOOSHH!!!*
She set flight towards Hancock and her speed was so fast that it looked like she teleported, Hancock frowned and released a wave of Conqueror Haki that deterred Stussy's movements but didn't completely stop her. The blonde beauty grasped the Snake Princess' head and blasted her harshly into the ground.
<Undead Queen>
*BOOOOMMMMMMM!!!*
The impact was so devastating that it created a crater no less in size than Veyron's attack did, if this battle kept going, soon the whole Upperyard would be gone.
Hancock grunted and blocked, half her body coated in armament haki. The sudden and ridiculous increase in Stussy's physical strength astonished her.
"Mythological Zoan".
"That's right, Hito Hito no Mi model Nosferatu... feel like giving up now?~".
As if to express her words, Stussy's strength increased even further and she prepared to take a good bite out of Hancock's neck.
"Whatever a Nosferatu is... as long as it exists, my beauty will defeat it".
*RUMBLE!!*
*BOOOOOMMMMMM!*
Stussy coughed a mouthful of blood, her body blasted away into the skies... when Hancock's knee impacted against her abdomen, she covered herself in armament Haki but the impact still caused a ruckus inside her body, she felt like it was being destroyed from the inside!
"A-Advanced Haki..." She landed back on the ground, falling to her knees and holding her lower abdomen in absolute pain, luckily enough she protected herself otherwise, it would have been turned into stone.
Hancock stood up, cleaning the blood out of her lips and brushing her hair, her gaze fixed on Veyron who was astonished at the viciousness of their fight. She blinked at her beloved to make him believe everything was under control.
"Feel like giving up now?~ You made me look bad in front of hubby, Nosferatu or whatever, death is your only punishment".
Stussy dusted herself off and the ominous black aura around her body increased.
"You're getting on my nerves, missy".
"Understandable, your lack of beauty mirrors your lack of patience".
*SNORT!*
"I-Is that so...? then I'll crush that face you're so proud of!".
"Come!".
*BOOOMMM!*
*BOOOMMM!*
*BOOOMMM!*
...
'D-Damn my girl is so cute. But why are they fighting so viciously and personally?' He didn't understand but when he looked to the side and saw both Enel and Peter expecting the battle together with him, he sighed and slapped the two of them, blasting them back to the ground.
*BOOOMMM!!*
*BOOOMMM!!*
"What are you two getting distracted in the middle of a fight for?".
'Are you one to talk!?'.
