"Mm, they went out looking for the Pantheon and someone by the title of the Stranger."

"Huh? Well, fuck." Yovan cursed, focusing on the tall lady before him, almost as tall as him.

The lady before him has long, white hair that is bound between orange rods into a ponytail at the back, which fades into aqua green and then blue the further down it goes and ends in rectangular locks.

She also has larg...

Chapter 128: Times Of Peace III

If there was a promise Yovan would never break, it was the promise of hell, of making sure his crew works hard.

The fabric of his being and his entire mentality is the sewing of hard work to a hellish degree, speaking to how much he values it.

The Strangers got to experience it thoroughly because these were times of peace... For the rest of the world.

The isolated Island looked very differe...

"It's special in more ways than one," Viola said, fondness apparent in her tone, eyeing a painting.

"It's one of my proudest works," Yovan nodded, specifically eyeing the Veil Of Darkness.

The two were in the Ship's Art Gallery, the place where everything art is put up. Before Dressrosa, the place was pretty much vacant, all of his paintings spread out throughout the world.

Now, however, the...

"Hmm, interesting," Yovan murmured, ignoring the screams of Niji as he complained to his father, his anger blinding him.

He focused solely on the pieces of paper in his hands, checking them carefully to make sure nothing is missing.

"Oh?" Yovan raised an eyebrow, "Now, that's fascinating... What will happen if my Gloom project succeeds?"

He halted his thoughts, knowing it was neither time nor...

"Now, your veins are speaking to me, why are they popping off? You okay?" Yovan had to ask again... He definitely knows what he's doing and what kind of fire he's lighting up.

"Ok, chill," Strangely, it was Laffitte that's trying to put the fire down, "Let's save it for the big snails." Oh, that makes more sense.

"Ouch?" Yovan murmured as he looked down at his stomach, seeing a punch nailed on...

"How? They look so different?" Yovan said with surprise.

"They look the same," Kalifa stressed, sitting on his lap, right on the crow's head.

"No, they don't! Look, Sunny looks sunny. Gloom looks gloomy. Misfortune looks cute. Isn't it obvious?" Her words were getting on Yovan's nerves as he gently patted the three Everless crows.

"Am I making you angry?" Kalifa said with a giggle, "Then ...

Chapter 123: Impossible & Nonsensical II

From Viola's pocket flew a little crow, a very tiny one, just created by Yovan recently, "You did well, Misfortune." It was Misfortune that kept an eye on Viola, stopping her from saying too much to Kizaru.

"I-Is this a joke to you?" Viola asked in resignation.

"No, I simply had no choice but to destroy the Colosseum as quickly as possible, and some of the spectators couldn't escape,...

"No worries. We'll figure things out, especially with these little things," Yovan shrugged it off, stroking the wonderous Devil Fruits.

Kalifa narrowed her eyes, observing the Devil Fruits one by one, "Beta Beta no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows the user to create and control mucus, making the user a Mucus Human... It's not bad."

She faced Trebol, the previous holder of ...

"The Pantheon, allegedly a group of Gods... They are our enemies, so what say you? The Stranger, one of the Warlords of the Sea..."

Yovan closed his eye, taking a deep breath, "I will only be a Warlord as long as the Pantheon remains... When I'm done with them, I'll leave my seat."

"We'll talk later." An elder responded, signaling a confirmation.

Yovan put down the Den Den Mushi, cuttin...

Everless Gloom II

Chapter 120: Everless Gloom II

"Everless Gloom." This is what Yovan couldn't use before... Because using it means no blood to be had, just pure unhinged annihilation.

From between the waves of dark feathers, a crow appeared. It was a special crow with eyes flickering with dark shockwaves.

The crow wasn't a real crow, but one of Yovan's Everless Crow, an ability he has been working on for a long time now, and it's still not wher...

Chapter 119: Everless Gloom I

The whip was strong enough to break through the little Haki Yovan coated on his heart, but in the end, it didn't matter for arguably, his greatest achievement took effect, Survival's Instinct.

Yovan let out a breath as the emerald flames surrounded him. The Seven-Star Sword was happy, devouring Doflamingo's delicious blood, but it still wasn't enough.

He lifted his left hand, taking a closer at it....

"Awakening: Scatter," Yovan murmured, scattering into feathers. This was a battle of darkness and light... The white strings against the darkest of feathers.

"Black Knight!" Doflamingo yelled as he mingled with his webs of strings, appearing... Well, two Doflamingos appeared, looking exactly the same. He somehow created a clone of himself.

Doflamingo and his clone almost instantly turned around,...

Chapter 117: Fracture Of Gloom IV

It thundered upon the world with dark cracks in space, and it rained inky feathers, each sharper and more dangerous than thousands of swords.

Doflamingo found himself at the center of it all, his expression speaking of anxiousness, not something he ever expected himself to feel.

The grimace on his face failed to show the ongoing battle in his mind, trying to figure out just what the fuck is hap...

Chapter 116: Fracture Of Gloom III

It was special on its own, one of insanity, quite understandable considering Laffitte was one of the participants, a broken Laffitte.

"Lafhahahahahahahaha!" His laughter spread far, but in contrast to Trebol's obnoxious voice, Laffitte's was sweet, almost alluring.

The sweetness of his voice almost hid the eeriness and insanity in it, so much so that it drove a chill down Diamante's spine.

But he wasn't concerned about what he had just achieved. No, he was confused. It was all too sudden, did they truly lose a Stranger?

Kaku couldn't dwell on those thoughts for much longer as he felt his ears ringing with pain, the ground shaking in fear, and the sky howling in terror.

He looked up to see a crack in space, in reality, a dark fracture going from the ground to the sky, spreading li...

"What?" If Doflamingo didn't already feel like something wasn't right, then he certainly does now as he turned around to face Yovan, "You..."

Yovan wasn't joking as he started right away. His behavior was certainly bizarre, not that it was that unexpected after losing a friend.

But Doflamingo was still suspicious, feeling like something wasn't right. He didn't get to dwell on that thought though...

"I am here to kill you." The once emerald blade turned inky as Hades focused the entirety of his Armament Haki into the sword, so much so that it made the air around it shake.

While that was taking place in the Colosseum, on the other side of the Island, two individuals finally came face to face.

First was Yovan. Indeed, Yovan, somehow found himself facing a very special individual at the same time as the ba...

But Yovan sought to test more than what he let on, and killing her was still a possibility depending on if his theory turns out to be true or false.

Viola was the second princess of Dressrosa, second only to her late sister, Scarlett.

On the night of Doflamingo's coup, Viola was captured by one of Doflamingo's assassins and opened the gates to the royal palace, allowing the Donquixote Pirates...

"I'll probably kill you after you tell me." This was the first time in all of Viola's life that she wished someone would just not be honest, but Yovan wasn't done just yet, "Unless... What you have something to say that may change my mind." 

"You..." Viola glared at Yovan, his eyes telling her that he was serious. Her powers are simply too dangerous to be left alone, if she can actually read mi...

The spectators were in silence. Even the Commentator, the individual whose job description is to talk; was also silent, speechless.

They stayed silent even as they heard the ground cracking from the sheer force of Hades swinging down his blade at Lao G, but the edge of his blade didn't touch the old man.

No, what touched him and what broke the ground was the dry body of Machvise, an extreme...

"Different," Hades who was standing right next to Rebecca remarked in a very fleeting voice, "Name?"

A chill ran down the Toy's wooden spine as it eyed Hades, a silverly mask with no eyes, yet he felt his sight on him clearly, just like before, "Thunder Soldier." The Toy responded.

Thunder Soldier wasn't that afraid for himself. No, he was afraid for Rebecca, something Hades could clearly se...

Hey!

Hey guys! So I won't be able to post today, I just had a Nail avulsion surgery, and it still hurts like hell despite taking meds, so I'm gonna take some more and go to sleep. Sorry! I will try to make it up to you guys with a double release later though.

Soon, the Commentator who never shuts up, seeming more excited than anyone, announced the end of the first round, "Block One has come to an end! And we have the four last gladiators standing!"

The competition so far consists of three blocks, each with 100 contestants. A fourth block can of course be added if enough participants show up, but so far, even the third block isn't complete.

"Sure sure, I'm not here for a fight anyway. I just want my paintings back." Yovan shrugged.

"Huh?" It finally dawned on her, what Yovan actually wanted, "Then I'll contact Doflamingo to let him know you're here." And she walked away, but not before leaving a few pink flowers beside the grave. 

Yovan stood up, stretching a bit. If he was afraid of the Marines knowing he was here, he showed none of it. 2022-12-10 15:11:07 +0000 UTC View Post

Well, his target was specifically Dressrosa, one of the key pieces in the rise of the Pantheon, but Yovan knows he can not afford to be associated with the Pantheon just yet.

To understand Dressrosa, one first has to understand the World Government, the key piece of the world.

There are three great forces keeping balance in the world. They're called the Three Great Powers, the three greatest military forces on...

He could also hear strange crackling, something his eyes caught, something akin to golden lightning... Yovan was finally able to manifest his monstrous willpower. Such are the capabilities of Conqueror Haki.

"Yahahahahaha, so childish, just give up." Zoro heard it clearly as Yovan's words seemingly made him wince in pain, and he wasn't even the focus of the Conqueror Haki.

"No? Ok....

"Captain!! They're tr...

"Hey," Yovan said.

"Eiiii! I mean, I was awaiting your arrival for long, Captain." Sinj was barely able to hold himself from screaming in fright... Well, he couldn't, but he at least acted like he did.

Yovan kinda just appeared before him, something he should be used to, but being in such a foreign environment made him tense, "What's with your manner of speed?" Yovan asked.

"Isn't it natura...

"Mmm? Hey Sanji! Is it like chicken? Is it a special type of crow chicken?" Well, their Captain seemed clueless.

The crow flapped its wings, jumping off the crow's nest to fly away towards the Island, much to the crew's surprise.

"Hoi! Come back! I don't want to eat you that much, I swear!!" The Straw hat kid yelled, but the crow didn't stop, so he took it upon himself to get some lunch, "Gomu Gom...

Yovan scattered into a few dark tiny feathers, leaving behind a shockwave as they vanished into the distance.

His destination lies in Paradise. Indeed, he just got a taste of New World, yet he has to go back. The journey is supposed to be long, just not for Yovan.

The few dark feathers were all hardened with Armament Haki, allowing them to survive the destructiveness of the shockwaves, ones of Yova...
