Chapter 25: Warning
"What kind of feeling is this!?"
Looking at the constantly swirling dark clouds, Zavia felt an extremely terrifying aura coming from them.
That aura, was as if all the world's ominous premonitions, fears and evils had gathered together. Even just a glance would make one feel like they were in the depths of hell.
"Brat Zavia! Don't just stand there! Quickly go take shelter!!"
Just as Zavia was dazedly staring at the black clouds, a loud shout suddenly came, it was Zephyr.
Hearing Zephyr's shout, Zavia instantly snapped out of his daze.
By the time Zavia regained his senses, Zephyr had already appeared in front of him, shielding him with his body.
The Battle Smasher on his right arm began expelling large amounts of steam, the internal components constantly operating, the cold machinery starting to become scorching hot.
"...Old man! Get away quickly! The enemy is not someone you can defeat! You might die!"
Seeing Zephyr shielding him, Zavia directly shouted loudly, this was the first time he had felt such panic since coming to this world.
Even when he heard about having a one-on-one match with Zephyr earlier, he didn't feel as panicked and afraid as now.
"Zavia! You go take shelter quickly! Go with the others, leave this place to us Vice Admirals and Admirals!"
Another voice entered Zavia's ears, looking in the direction it came from, it was Vice Admiral Nezumi hastily rushing over, with many other Vice Admirals behind him.
"You guys..."
For some reason, Zavia felt moved at this moment, perhaps their concern awoke memories buried deep in his heart.
It was during his middle school days, during a physical education class. At the time, Zavia was sitting on the edge of the sports ground when suddenly a group of gangsters came from outside, claiming to be looking for someone in his class.
This scene made many students fearful, after all, the gangsters were people they had never encountered before.
Those gangsters smashed and destroyed whatever they could see, breaking anything that could be broken, like sports equipment and such.
The school Zavia attended was not a prestigious one, but rather a third-rate school where the principal was extremely stingy, even the surveillance cameras bought were the cheapest ones that would break down every two or three days.
The arrival of these people seemed to herald the impending judgment of this school, with almost no teachers or administrators stepping forward to resolve the situation.
The only one who dared step forward, the physical education teacher, was immediately beaten severely injured, because the other side not only outnumbered him, but also had weapons, so the outcome was predictable.
Seeing these people, Zavia also ran away. He knew that this was the doing of a classmate who didn't study properly but instead wanted to join a gang, and this classmate was now cowering in a corner shivering.
But someone suddenly shouted: "The one you're looking for is him!"
In an instant, Zavia was locked in the sights of all the gangsters, while he had an incredulous and angry expression on his face.
Following the direction of the shout, Zavia knew that person, it was the best underling of the classmate who joined the gang, he had sold out Zavia to protect his "big brother".
Perhaps the gangsters had never seen that troublemaking classmate before, and only hearing that it was Zavia, they immediately rushed up and beat him up severely, saying at the end: "You brat got lucky today, it's our sister-in-law's birthday today so we don't want any bloodshed. Take this beating and you can leave, but if we catch you stealing again, we'll guarantee to cut off one of your hands!"
That day, Zavia went straight to the hospital. During the beating, no one came to speak up for him, not a single person...
So this scene really moved Zavia, he had an intuition that the enemy was probably here for him. Although he didn't know the details, the actions of these Marines still touched him.
"Zavia!!"
Voices came again from afar, it was Sengoku and the others, as well as Kuzan who was even further away.
"Hurry up and go! Leave with the others, us here will cover the rear for you!"
Garp, who had arrived in front of Zavia, said sternly, his hands already turned jet black from Armament Haki.
"I'm afraid, it's too late now."
Hearing Garp's words, Zavia turned around and looked at the constantly swirling dark clouds in the sky, black lightning continuously rumbling, a dark shadow appearing above.
During the time they were looking at the dark clouds and rushing over, that dark shadow had already arrived in this world, so it was too late to leave now.
"Get ready! Use all your strength! Stop that dark shadow before it starts destroying anything!"
Sengoku quickly issued orders, demanding all personnel to use their full strength to stop the "enemy" that was about to arrive.
"Since it's too late, then you should hide behind us."
Sengoku looked at Zavia, telling him to hide behind them, then entered his Buddha form himself.
A golden light illuminated the entire area, but when it reached the sky, it seemed to be absorbed by the black clouds, leaving the sky just as dark.
"Heheheheh, is this that world? How boring, these ones are all too weak."
An ethereal yet evil voice came from within the black clouds, the tone extremely arrogant and disdainful.
Next, a white-haired, red-eyed man wearing a black suit flew out from the center of the swirling black cloud vortex.
The moment the man appeared, an invisible aura spread out, continuously impacting everything in the world.
Sensing this aura, everyone's reaction was to immediately kneel down, only the Admirals and Garp managed to barely endure it, but it seemed they might not last too long.
Zavia was the same, sensing this aura, it was as if there was a heavy weight on his back, wanting to make him kneel on the ground.
However, a golden light began to emerge from Zavia's body. The moment this golden light appeared, he felt less strained, his body that originally wanted to kneel down also becoming lighter in turn.
"This is..."
Seeing the golden light appearing on his body, Zavia first had a puzzled expression, then guessed in the next second - this was the Inherited Power helping him.
"Hm? This aura...it shouldn't be wrong, you brat, you're the inheritor of the Demon God's Power, aren't you?"
The man flying in the sky seemed to have sensed the Inherited Power from Zavia, looking down at him arrogantly.
"..."
Upon hearing this, Zavia turned his attention from himself to the ominous man in the sky. To be honest, he knew who that man was - a character from a game he originally played, named Yagwick.
Seeing the person who came, Zavia didn't know what expression to use to face him, because the character Yagwick was the second most favorite character for him when he played the Mugen game, with the first being, NAO, but it seemed NAO didn't come with him.
"...Yes, it's me, are you...looking for me?"
Replying to Yagwick's words in extremely awkward language, Zavia felt like slapping himself after saying it.
"Heheheheheh, so it's you? You look to be only in your teens? I never expected the Demon God to choose such a brat to be his inheritor, I guess he had no choice."
In just the blink of an eye, Zavia lost sight of Yagwick in the sky, instead a voice came from behind him, scaring Zavia to instantly turn his head back.
"Heheheheheh, no need to be so shocked, I'm not here to take your life. Let me skip the nonsense, you need to be careful, that person has his sights set on you, even the Demon God might not be able to save you."
Seeing Zavia's shocked expression, Yagwick let out his signature laughter, while also stating his purpose for coming.
"Ah? That person? Which person?"
Hearing Yagwick's words, Zavia was a bit baffled in his reply.
"Hmph, you'll know which person soon enough. I'm just following that great one's orders to warn you."
Yagwick let out a cold snort, then shifted his body to the side, a black fist appearing where he originally stood. Yagwick looked over, it was a grey-haired old man, who seemed to be straining greatly.
"Heheheheheh, I'm really surprised, I never expected anyone could move within my Domain of Sin, even though I only opened it to the first level, you're still quite impressive.
But unfortunately, old man, you're still not qualified, you currently don't even deserve to touch me, get lost."
Yagwick looked at this old man and spoke words of praise, then punched Garp with one fist, sending Garp's entire body flying and crashing into the wooden walls of the spectator stands.
"Old man Garp!"
"Heheheheheh, no need to worry, he won't die. That great one told me not to kill anyone after coming to this world, so he's just knocked out."
Seeing Garp punched away, Zavia directly shouted out, to which Yagwick gave a reassuring statement.
"Well, the warning ends here. Although I don't know why that great one values you so much, but you'd better not get killed off by that person while unawares, heheheheheh."
After delivering the warning, Yagwick didn't linger in the One Piece world any longer, only seeing him start floating in the air, then flying back towards the center of the black clouds from where he came, leaving this world.
At the same time Yagwick left, everything in the world returned to normal, the sky once again bright and clear, the sea calm with no waves, everything appearing so peaceful, as if the events just now were just a dream.
With Yagwick's suppression gone, everyone recovered to normal, the golden light on Zavia's body also fading away.
"Cough, cough cough, Zavia, what was all that about? From the looks of it, that person came for you, and also, what is the Demon God, what does inheritor mean?"
After recovering to normal, Zephyr came before Zavia, inquiring about everything that just happened, he had many questions in his heart now.
"Rather than that, we should go check on Vice Admiral Garp first."
Not knowing how to answer, Zavia cleverly remembered Garp was knocked out nearby, successfully changing the subject.
"That's right, hey! Quickly call the medical team over here!"
