Yuki watched silently with his eerie green eyes as the sand and rubble started transforming into a white wavy surface that soon after turned into a giant wave of sharp ropes made of strings with their ends coated in Armament Haki that were rushing to stab him showing the Strawhats the true horror a warlord can cause, and making them realize just how weak they currently were!
"YUKIIIIII!" Yelled Luffy and the others at the top of their lungs while Vivi watched in horror as her hometown transformed into strings "What kind of power is this? Is this really something a human can do?"
In the middle of all of this fear and terror, 10 Giant crossbows suddenly appeared amidst the giant strings as if they were immune to the weird transformation, and they directly aimed at Doflamingo automatically and started firing none stop at him at a terrifying speed and power…
Flaming arrows, frost arrows, poison arrows… Doflamingo found himself facing a rain of nonstop attacks that he couldn't risk taking head-on.
In fact, if it weren't for Yuki's inability to coat those attacks in Haki, Doflamingo could have probably been shot to death by now…
Meanwhile, from under the white ground where Yuki was buried after having gotten his but Doflamingo's attack, A corrosive aura suddenly burst out and melted all of the strings in Yuki's vicinity and Doflamingo that was occupied with dodging the giant arrows couldn't help but exclaim
"Impossible, how are you still alive, and what kind of poisonous weapon are you using now…" This is his conclusion after witnessing Yuki's aura of corruption, and Giant crossbows! That he was probably someone with multiple weapons at his disposal...
Yuki didn't respond to Doflamingo and simply turned to the Strawhats and said "Let's meet again in the future" before he nodded to Yurei to make hast while his terrifying battle with Doflamingo became much more intense, and it went on for A whole day until a certain marine vice admiral arrived prompting Doflamingo to stop as he understood just how impossible it was to harm Yuki while he himself kept receiving damage from time to time and he slowly started feeling despair… so he understood deep down that he was basically saved which annoyed him to no end…
"HEHEHE, Oy Garp, how about we team up and beat this guy…" Spoke Doflamingo suddenly while staring at the man that was walking casually toward them with the injured Smoker following behind him and he simply stared coldly at Doflamingo before he rushed at him and punched him in the face sending him flying into the distance like a cannonball before he said "You better not appear in front of me again"
Doflamingo felt his head spinning from this punch and he couldn't help but grit his teeth and think 'It seems like that old man still can't be underestimated...' Then he started jumping away, although his usual smirk has turned into a huge frown as his various wound ached, but not as much as the punch he just received...
Then, Garp pointed at Yuki and said to Smoker "So this guy is the one that has been sailing with Luffy?"
"That's right… one of his subordinates saved us while he stayed behind and fought Doflamingo" Spoke Smoker who was bandaged at this point, yet he clearly held no hostility toward Yuki.
Meanwhile, Tashigi quickly approached him and asked "Are you okay? Do you have any injuries?"
She noticed that his body was covered in blood stains and dirt, so she was worried, especially when she saw how terrifying Doflamingo was and the devasting scene they left behind after their fight… Alubarna was no more, as all that was left is rubble and sand…
"I'm fine" Spoke Yuki with a smile before he turned to Garp and spoke "It's a pleasure to meet the hero of the marine"
"Oh, you are not afraid?" spoke Garp calmly while approaching Yuki but two people suddenly rushed from behind him and stood protectively in front of Yuki, they were Vivi and her father King Cobra
"Sir Garp, please don't harm our savior" Spoke Vivi quickly but Garp simply paused and chuckled slightly "Harm him? why would I? he gave that cocky brat a good beating, I actually want to thank him… These warlords are becoming more and more brazen with their actions"
Garp's eyes were full of anger at the thought of not being able to do apprehend Doflamingo after all the things he tried to do just because he was affiliated with the marines and the world government... not to mention his other identity as a celestial dragon...
This is the advantage of being a legal pirate… a privilege Yuki wasn't going to skip on acquiring now that there was a vacant spot!
"Alubarna has turned into rubble.. how many years is it going to take us before we can heal from this…" Muttered Cobra with a pained look on his face, and Garp didn't know how to console him so he ended up saying "I will do my best to convince the world government to send aid"
Cobra simply clenched his hands tightly as he didn't want to ask for help from the corrupted people that allowed for a system like the warlords to exist, but he had no choice, he can't allow his people to suffer just because of his ego...
The rest of the higher-ups of Alabasta didn't know what to say either as they simply stared at the rubble silently until Yuki spoke "Sorry about that, I wasn't strong enough to drive our fight away from Alubarna…"
"NONONO, Yuki-san is our savior" Cobra instantly denied what Yuki said and Vivi also jumped in right away "Please don't say this again, Yuki… If not for you, countless lives would have been lost"
"That's right…" Spoke a man leading a group following after him… It was Koza, the leader of the rebels "I'm sorry, we allowed ourselves to be used… Please punish us however you see fit your majesty…"
"Chief…" Vivi muttered worriedly while staring between Koza and her father whose face suddenly hardened before he spoke with authority "That's right, your actions cannot go unpunished!"
"Father they-" Vivi was about to try to help them out but Yuki suddenly held her back which surprised her, but she then saw her father nodding calmly at Yuki before he followed up by saying "Your punishment is that you will have to work harder than anyone and help rebuild this kingdom!"
"T-This…" Vivi was surprised before she smiled widely while Koza and the rebels had tears on their face as they said "With pleasure your majesty, we will do our best to build Alabasta back... We will go announce the result of the battle… Yuki and the Strawhats defeated two warlords and saved our country!!"
"Vice-admiral Garp Should we…" One of the marines turned to Garp and appeared to want to say something but Garp simply shrugged and said "It would be too shameful to steal someone else's credit"
However, right after his words died down, a marine came running with a den den mushi in his hand while yelling "Vice admiral, the headquarters ordered us to hide what truly happened here!"
"WHAT!" Smoker's eyes instantly ignited with flames of anger as he yelled "Are they insane?"
Meanwhile, Garp already understood their reaction but he still simply shrugged and said "Tell them it's too late, the people of this country already know and the news will spread sooner or later"
"B-But…" The marine holding the den den mushi was about to argue again, but Sengoku's voice suddenly echoed from the little snail yelling at Garp but this old man simply ignored him and said "Tell him I'm not here…"
"GARP YOU BASTARD, I CAN HERE YOU!!!" however, Garp had already moved on at that point and approached Yuki who appeared deep in thought while staring at the destruction his fight with Doflamingo left behind…
"YO, I heard you are sailing with Luffy" Garp Spoke, and Yuki couldn't help but smile and say "Well, not anymore, I'm leaving his crew"
"Eh… you think my grandson is not good enough for you?" Garp suddenly started stretching his arms, ready to give Yuki some of his fists infused with love but Yuki simply chuckled and replied "No, but they won't have fun if I stay with them…"
Garp paused slightly before he sat beside him and stared at the rubble and the destruction, in contrast, Yuki's body didn't have any wounds while Doflamingo was clearly covered in cuts and bruises when he left… "Well, I guess that's true, but they won't be safe either…"
"Grandson??" Vivi and anyone who overheard their conversation were suddenly shocked and they couldn't help but stare at Yuki weirdly until he pointed at himself and asked "Is there something on my face?"
Vivi glared at him and said "Luffy's the grandson of the hero of the marines and you aren't even surprised?"
Garp was also intrigued by the question but Yuki found it obvious as he said "This is Monkey D. Garp and Luffy's full name is Monkey D. Luffy … It's not that hard to put two and two together unless you are an idiot hahahaha-"
However, his laughter was suddenly cut short as Vivi and everyone else started beating him up "Who are you calling idiots!"
"HAHAHA, that's right they are quite idiots for not realizing it right away" Spoke Garp but this time no one tried to beat him up…
"Tsk, what's with this difference in treatment…" Muttered Yuki as he stood up and dusted himself and soon after, they started hearing the people cheering in the distance, they were the evacuated citizens…
"I guess my mission here is over…" Muttered Yuki to himself and right after, a notification appeared in front of him
[Quest: Desert Savior (Completed)]
[Host has overperformed by making sure that this war will have the smallest amount of casualties despite the unexpected appearance of another warlord. Additional rewards will be granted]
[Would you like to accept the rewards? Yes/No]
Yuki didn't hesitate to press yes and right after, another notification appeared in front of him, his favorite kind of notifications!
[Instead of the initial reward Earth spike, you receive the skill Basic Earth manipulation]
Yuki's eyes widened slightly and he directly tapped on the description of the skill while ignoring everything around him, Including Vivi who was asking what he meant with his mission here being over…
[Basic Earth manipulation 1/10: The host can sense the earth and manipulate it in any way shape or form you want granting you great utility. At level 1, the host can manipulate 1 kg of earth per 1 point of soul power]
Yuki's eyes widened slightly as he thought 'The power of this skill scales with the power of my soul…. however, I will have to test it first… I don't know how fast I can manipulate the earth if I use the skill at its maximum capacity…'
As Yuki was deep in thought, he suddenly felt someone shaking him and he found that it was Vivi that was staring at him worriedly and asked "Yuki are you okay? Do you have any injuries you are hiding from me?"
'This girl…' Yuki was reminded slightly of Shizue when he saw the concern on Vivi's face so he eventually smiled and said "I'm fine, and I think I can help this kingdom one last time"
"Eh? How do you intend to help us?" asked Vivi curiously but Yuki simply smirked and said "Watch and learn… Yurei come here"
Suddenly, a ghostly figure appeared beside Yuki startling many people while others quickly recognized him since he saved many people who stayed behind during the evacuations
"What's wrong Yuki?" asked Yurei curiously and Yuki simply said "You just raised your telekinesis skill to max level didn't you… Let's put it to good use with my earth manipulation skill…" spoke Yuki telepathically to Yurei making the poor kid worry about the hard work he was going to be tasked with…
Then Yuki turned to Garp, King Cobra, and Koza and said "Give us a hand… "
"What are you going to do?" Asked Cobra curiously and Yuki simply smirked and directly put 4 skill points into his Earth manipulation raising it to level 5 which granted him the power to manipulate 5 kg of the earth with each point of his soul!
"let's create a perfect city! Give me a blueprint for how you want to make it built, and I will do my best to achieve it!"
"Is that even possible?" Asked Pell curiously but Yuki simply stared at Cobra and waited for his response, and the king didn't disappoint him as he directly said "It will be ready by tomorrow morning!"
"That's good to hear…" Then Yuki turned to Yurei and said "Go clear all the rubble and collect any valuables you might find, especially those in the palace. The rebels, the royal guards, and the marines should help as well… I'm sure it will be much easier if 1 million people work together… Vivi, you can organize them right?"
"Eh me?" Vivi was shocked by the sudden responsibility that fell on her shoulders but Yuki simply nodded and her father too smiled and said "You are already old enough to lead this country…"
"We believe so as well" x3 spoke Koza, Pell, and Chaka
"I agree as well…" Spoke a man that suddenly approached them, and Vivi instantly teared up when she saw him "IGARAM, you are alive!"
Yuki smiled at the happy reunion before he left to have some rest, but two people followed after him… they were Smoker and Garp!
