"I've kept an eye on Franky for the past few days... His face spoke of a broken man, guilt of failure. I'm certain that the blueprints were stolen."

"But how?" Kalifa found that hard to believe, "We've been here for years, trying to get the blueprints, so how can someone just come out of nowhere, and know that they're kept with a nobody like Franky?"

"Unless..." Kaku was thinking it.

A...

At last, the white vanished as he passed away, his face speaking of pure horror because... Because he felt something being taken away from his insides, just a few pieces of paper.

The victim is named Franky, and he is a shipwright. A specific incident resulted in his body being heavily damaged and requiring him to augment himself into a cyborg, thus how he hid the papers within him.

Yovan saw it as the Sea King laughing at what he went through, and what he'll surely go through... It was a gorgeous picture he dearly wanted to paint.

So he got to it the first chance he got, only after the weather settled down a bit. The Sea Kings were still floating though one was having a hard time staying afloat despite being dead.

"Bitch! Not like that!!"

"NOO! Do it again!"

"No! Only...

"Oh, that's a bit much but manageable I guess..." His response nearly drove Kureha insane!! 

But she kept it in, barely, "The Killing of a king is a great offense, and the blame will fall entirely on you all, so be prepared..."

"Oh, you killed a king?" Yovan questioned as he surveyed his surroundings more thoroughly before starting to do some stretching, feeling a bit too stiff.

"Hmm, It's indeed very odd, but I won't prey any further," Kureha smiled as she held the still afraid reindeer a bit tighter, closing his ears in the process, "Forget about the money, Kill the King."

A wicked grin emerged on Capone's face, "I heard he's holding two dozen doctors hostage, no? If I get rid of him, they'll naturally owe me..."

Kureha didn't bother answering as her focus retu...

"The winter Island..." Capone remarked, seeming very irked about something. It was so cold that he couldn't light up his cigar anymore.

"Wow," Laffitte eyed the Island with a bit of fascination, "Those mountains... I wonder what will happen if we bring them down on the Island?"

"Huh?" Capone's face twitched in speechlessness, "Everyone will die? And we won't get what we're here for?"

"What the fuck did you do?" Capone asked, seeing the fat bag of cash on the ship's deck. He thought he'd be the one to start trouble because he was preying for information to do something similar... However.

"I... How do I phrase this? I took some money for myself, but it was for survival I swear!" Yovan innocently explained.

"From who?" Capone Bege questioned, narrowing his eyes. 2022-10-05 15:33:06 +0000 UTC View Post

"You know what. Capone's proposition sounds very tempting right now." Yovan was in a pinch. He realized that he was very poor and that he had very little money.

"I mean, you can just get money from Capone. He basically dominated the west blue for years, so he must be very rich." Laffitte suggested.

"He doesn't have enough... I want a lot." Yovan started stroking his chin. This was al...

"What are you doing?" Yovan asked with apparent curiosity.

"Hm?" Laffitte raised his head, "I'm just learning to sew. Is it odd?"

"Nah, you do you." Yovan shook his head and walked up to the head of the ship, eying the oncoming waves and letting the breeze brush against his feeble face.

They safely departed from Cactus Island about two days ago without any trouble. Their destina...

Thankfully, he salvaged the situation by turning around and going back into the ship along with the two other strangers much to Igarappoi's dismay.

The people dispersed, each going on their merry way except for a certain peculiar group.

Igarappoi stood in a well-lit room, the sound of him looking through many pieces of papers only clouded by the heavy sound of rain.

Behind him ...

This time, the feathers of desperation assembled on each side of the ship, seemingly merging together to form vast dark wings!

The Ship flew. Its wings flapped again and again until the ship safely dropped on the calm water before the Reverse Mountain.

The ship suffered a bit of damage due to the shaking, but not enough for it to sink.

Against Yovan's will, he transformed into h...

"There is only one way for us to enter the Grand Line safely and that's through the Reverse Mountain. I heard of other ways but none are viable to us." Laffitte commented as he opened up a large map.

"How long have you been planning to enter the Grand Line?" Capone asked as he took a smoke of his cigar.

There is a reason why Laffitte is a very good Navigator. He had to learn a lot about geogr...

"Demon Sheriff," Yovan stated, "This is where he was last seen." One of the things Yovan instructed Francis on finding the individual titled as the Demon Sheriff.

"I'll send my man to find him," Capone pulled out a cigar and took a long smoke as his subordinates started exiting through the doors on his shoes, growing to their original size.

His devil fruit is quite interesting, and even Yovan ...

The reason why he didn't want to use the Feathers of Desperation was exactly because it would lead to his current state.

"Finally back? I took care of the enemy's ship," Only a day passed before Yovan came back, finding Bege waiting for him.

Next to Bege stood several other people, Bege's subordinates. Where they came from became clear as they walked up while carrying someone towards Bege.

If that was a possibility, Yovan didn't take it. No, his goal changed. There was a fire in his eyes, and it wasn't that of survival.

"Boy, aren't you the unluckiest person I've ever seen?" Boo, remarked as he started approaching Yovan. The circumstances worked in his favor, and he plans to take full advantage of that.

Yovan frowned, his expression only becoming stranger by the second, "...

"Yovan Night." This will either be the start of a long cooperation, or an unhinged war.

Immaculate long golden hair. Loose white robe along with white pants. Exquisite earrings, speaking of his nature and history. A nice metallic spear. This was Yovan Night.

Almost a full month has passed since his meeting with Bege, and now, Yovan found himself on an isolated island.

He studied the map given...

Yovan didn't sleep that night. It was all spent in contemplation not only because he had a lot to think about, but also because he had yet to trust Francis enough... Only about two months left until the countdown ends.

He hated the title Shadow. He absolutely had no idea why he was given such a title. He didn't feel like it fit him despite his devil fruit expressing otherwise.

His title, however, ch...

Yovan could only stay on his knees, yet the fire in his eyes still burned brightly to the point it almost overwhelmed the still living pirates with fear... It was the fire of survival and necessity. 

"Le... Han*Cough* Hand him his stuff back!" The Captain did his best to give a few last orders. He could see it clearer than ever. This monster still had fire in his eyes. 

The Captain could se...

"My Earrings? Where are they?"

They're his most valuable assets, one of the only things that followed after him to this world. The memories they hold were strong and deep enough to kindle another emotion in Yovan's dark eyes.

He didn't just want his earrings back. NO! he needed them. He had to have them back. It was almost a necessity of his.

The door was locked, so...

Yet before the Doctor's very eyes, Yovan twisted into a small dark crow, thus escaping his chains. 

The next moment, the crow's beak dove directly into the doctor's throat. Blood gushed out just as the crow vanished into darkness again.

Yovan wasn't about to give the Mafia boss and his underlings any chance to react because his plans required his existence to remain a...

"Throw the trash in the hole! I'll deal with him later." Francis' tone was loud and arrogant, a tone he had very much missed since he came across Yovan. He was more so irritated though, in full understanding of what was about to come.

Now, however, he can speak however he wants to because before him were his underlings. He was finally back to the luxury of his own home, the Under...

"Now we can have a long chat. Hell, we can even be friends," Yovan released a bright smile as he eyed the other person in the area, "Hey, Hercules, do you know anything about torture?"

"No? It never had to go that far huh? You're that intimidating... But I'm not, so how can I go about this?" To Francis, it was like Yovan was talking to himself, but he was obviously talking to the doll...

"You think so too, Hercules?" Yovan wondered as he performed squats shirtless. On his shoulder were weights amounting only to several tons.

Not far from him stood a doll, looking finely made. It resembled Yovan's image of Hercules, a giant ripped dude.

It has only been one month since he settled down on the ship, yet he had already gone to his old ways.

"Hm, I agree. Ventin...

"I'll... You'll be seeing me again very soon." Yovan chuckled, his steps leading him to the city to buy some necessities, 'I'm sure they'll be here very soon, then I can get all I need.'

Since he's expecting them, he of course has to be ready, so he made his way to his new home, the ship.

The ship was anchored a bit away from the shore, making it a bit harder to reach for others, ...

The End!!

The End is left vague purposefully, but I think enough was explained. You can think of the ending as a showcase of an original novel I'm planning, and Ian is tied to it.

I know some may not like such a vague ending, but I think it's for the best because I want to establish some rules for my future novels which I think I've done quite well.

There were a lot of unknown things in the novel from the start and almost all of them were explained. It's just that new unknowns surfaced.&nbs...

"The concept is very weird. The Multiverse exists in space, so how are we to create a world in our souls?" Raven wondered as she stroked her chin.

"I guess further studies on the soul are needed. We can already use our souls in miraculous ways, so perhaps this is possible... Well, we know it's possible." Zatanna nodded in agreement.

"You know I can just help you achieve it, right?" Ian s...

However, its agony and wrath were strong enough to make it rise again, and glare at Ian with pure eerie hate.

His question would certainly drive anyone mad, especially after all that he had done to the beast, so without any consideration for t...

Thus why Dr. Manhattan asked this question, "How are you alive when you're supposed to be dead? I can finally see it, your soul is fractured beyond repair..."

His soul was supposed to have been destroyed, so why does it look even more broken?

While his soul was very hidden before, it looks seeable to all now, or at least, that's what one might think.

The kid was seated on the ground without care while eyeing the individual gracefully sitting on the thr...

She knew that she either had to erase Ian or the Dark Multiverse. She wasn't able to do either. Not just that, she felt a bad premonition. Perhaps he was just stalling?

They were in a stalemate, or so Ian would have her believe because he never bothered to attack. He simply waited for the inevitable, the sound of the Cosmic Raptor reverberating across the entirety of the Multiverse, heard a...
