We were all standing against each other as if we were in a mexican standoff. Sengoku and Garp's expressions were even darker than before Shiki arrived. It was the same for me, to be honest, I was counting on the commotion I had caused to make Roger and Shiki run away. Clearly, Roger was already gone, probably still being chased by Shiki's fleet.
Meanwhile, their leader looks like he was ready for round two. I'd appreciate the help, but what would happen if he decided to attack me while he was at it? It was already troubling to fight the Marines, I don't want to fight him too.
Just as I was about to turn my head towards the two marines. I sensed Shiki immediately lung at me and swing his katana. I immediately raised Labrys to guard the strike, he must have applied his float-float fruit abilities because the force of the swing managed to throw me back towards the sea.
"Brat, I remember you! You're with Whitebeard, aren't you?" Shiki pondered loudly, "What's the name again? Boris? Yes! That's the name!"
"Why did you hit me, though?" I grumbled as I stabalized my altitude. I was just above the surface of the sea. I slowly floated up and continued my focus on the marine pair, right now, they had the advantage. I was the only one who currently was at full power between the Golden Lion and I.
Sengoku readjusted his glasses as he stared at me, his glasses flashed as lightning striked above.
"Boris, eh? I will be sure to inform the higherups as we bring you to Impel Down!" Sengoku boomed.
"That's if you can Sengoku!" I quipped as I raised my axe.
The air that was already tense suddenly became even more tense. Colors of Conqurer's could be seen forking around as we all prepared to fight. Suddenly, we all lunged at each other, Shiki immediately went for Sengoku. Leaving Garp with me, his fists clenched as he prepared to land a haymaker right on my chest.
I could only coat Labrys with haki as I met his fist with it. He had immediately put me on defense because he kept on adding pressure with his relentless punches. I could only block and dodge for the first part of the fight. I needed to change pace quickly, if this kept going on, Garp would probably clock me in the jaw and send me to Impel Down.
I immediately blocked his left roundhouse swing with the Labrys' handle and used my other hand, which was close to Labrys' blade, to block his follow up punch. This move broke the offensive pressure that Garp had on me, giving me the oppurtunity to start my retaliation.
I lowered Labrys' blade low as I gave Garp a push kick right to the chest. My foot was coated in haki, so Garp immediately crossed his haki-coated arms to block the kick. It sent him back quite a bit, but I wasn't done with my attack yet. I lunged at him and held Labrys' handle near its end before swinging it right at garp. Because I was holding Labrys' at its end, the momentum amplified the force of the swing and landed devastatingly at Garp's guard.
Unfortunately, I didn't break his guard completely, but I was able to make him spit a little bit of blood out as I sent him down the sea. However, it would take much more to take down the future hero of the Marines. He immediately lunged right bact to me and threw a powerful uppercut towards my torso. I quickly used Labrys to block the attack, but it was too late, the blow managed to land square on my chest and sent me soaring through the air.
I vomited quite a bit of blood as I flew up, I could see Garp following me while raising his fists to deliver another attack. I quickly healed my injuries using regeneration and quickly stopped my soaring momentum. I twirled my axe while lunging at Garp with an excessive speed, we were just about to collide when a stray golden sword slash went through our moment of impact.
We both looked at the source of the attack. Only to find Sengoku going at it with Shiki, Sengoku had been using his shockwaves to repel the sword slashes that Shiki was sending. He had been trying to get closer to Shiki, but Shiki would float away before sending another barrage of sword slashes at him.
This had been going on for quite a bit, and it was obvious that Sengoku was getting annoyed by this.
"Shiki!!! are you so much of a coward that you won't face me in direct combat?!?!" Sengoku roared.
Sengoku was currently in his Golden Buddha form, his humungous figure radiated throughout the stormy seas. Shiki on the other hand snickered as he looked at Sengoku.
"Whether or not I fight fairly is not my problem, Sengoku. I'm a pirate after all, fighting dirty is all I can do!!!!!!" Shiki cackled maniacally as he faced the heavens.
I couldn't figure out what his angle was when he was doing this. That was until I sensed an ominous figure slowly approaching our area.
'There was no way that this guy would drop a meteor right?' I thought to myself hopefully.
Garp and I came at a momentary truce as we both looked at the sky. It was obvious that he wasn't an ally to me during this fight. If anything, I think he just joined the fight because he was mad that his fight with Roger was interrupted. However, I didn't know how far that this guy would go. Stussy and the rest of the crew were still under me.
I wasn't trying to risk their lives because of Shiki's tantrums, and I was sure that Sengoku and Garp didn't want to lose forces over this either. They were prepared to catch pirates like Roger and Shiki, however, I knew that Sengoku would make a strategic retreat should things turn for the worst.
My Observation haki flared as I continued to stare at the sky that Shiki had been facing for quite some time now. Something humongous was coming our way, more specifically, something from outer space was making its way to our location.
The already dark sky had suddenly got even more darker. The thunder that had been prevailing throughout the entire battle was drowned out by a rumbling that seemed to be shaking the sky as well as the sea. Immediately, I lunged at my ship and floated right at the back of the ship. Stussy and Ken, had noticed me coming towards the ship at a rapid pace and raced towards the back of the ship.
"Boris! What's going on? Why are you back here?" Stussy asked as the sky continued to rumble.
"Hoist the headsail and the other sails, and make go as far as you can from here. I am going to throw you far from here." I replied solemnly.
This lunatic dropped a goddamn meteor on us. Even if we broke it, we the rubble that would have broken off from the destruction could have easily destroyed the ships floating within the surrounding area. I still couldn't see the meteor, but the way that my Observation haki was screaming at me to get away from the area was very concerning. I promptly grabbed the back of the ship, and slowly raised it up.
It wasn't that hard, the crew quickly grabbed the at parts of the deck as I raised the ship up. I started spinning the ship as hard as I could. Finally, I threw the ship as hard as I could towards the horizon. The ship flew as straight as an arrow to the distance, I was glad that the outcome was such.
That was because the meteor had finally arrived.
PLEASE NOTE: I am note implying that Shiki has gravity powers, instead, the meteor was guided by his float fruit ability and increased the amount of force that was coming towards the surface of the earth.
Let me know what y'all think!!!!
Love y'all!!!!!!
