Bab 21: Nuke vs Z
Z is a large, muscular man, standing around twice the height of Nuke. He dressed in a Marine-like black coat with trousers, boots and, a pair of triangular sunglasses.
"Z sensei", Ain cried out and appeared near him.
"Don't feel about losing to them, these Kids are abnormal." Z said while Ain nodded her head.
Nuke sensed Z is very strong. He expects nothing less from a formal Admiral even though he is old now.
He also knows during his time as a Marine, he was very popular with and well regarded by his subordinates.
He treated every marine kindly and also taught many of them. Figures like Sakazuki, Borsalino, Kuzan, Hina, Smoker, Ain, and Binz were all trained by him as an instructor.
But everything changed for the worse when his wife and son were murdered by a pirate, and later his subordinates are killed by a pirate and his right arm severed.
The Worst is, the same pirate became a Shichibukai. Such loss and injustice led to a deep hatred towards pirates, and later Z left the Marines, he formed a Neo Marines to take matters into his own hands and annihilate them all.
"It's true every generation becomes stronger than the later, I didn't expect to meet a powerful kid" Z Spoke.
"Why don't you all disband your crew and live a normal life," Z spoke, as he didn't want to kill a kid who didn't commit any crime towards Innocent people.
"I didn't expect to meet a famous Former Admiral, Black Arm Zephyr, now it is Z, I suppose. You are not in a position to instruct me as you are also a Kind of Pirate crew now." Nuke spoke.
"I thought so since words held no meaning to you, I will talk with my fist, but this time there's one end -Death." Z coldly muttered and attacked Nuke.
Just a single attack with haki, Nuke was sent flying even though he blocked it. From this one could guess his haki reached an unimaginable level in his Prime. Even though, he is old now.
Nuke stood up from the ground and thought, "Strong! If my guess is right, He should have reached Yonko level Haki in his prime but right now his Haki is only as strong as 'Commander' level."
"Nuke!" Luna screamed and appeared before him.
"Let's fight together..." Luna said.
"No, It's my responsibility as a Captian to face him." Nuke spoke.
"But..." Luna opened her mouth but eventually stopped, she didn't say anything.
Shadow steps! Nuke used his movement technique and flickered, he appeared before Z and attacked with his full strength.
Z was easily able to block his attacks with his own haki. His Haki is superior so he looked very casual in the fighting.
'This won't do! I can only use the Attribute panel but I am not sure of defeating him.'
Name: Nuke Gray
Age: 14
Strength: 670 (330)
Agility: 100 (290)
Mind: 50 (200)
Constitution: 9-(Star Body: 340)
Ability: Origin Star Body Technique. [Stage 1: Advanced]
Haki: [Observation Haki: 110(310)][Armament Haki: 530(330)]
Once made changes to his attribute panel, Z immediately sensed the change in Nuke's body.
"Abnormal, that brat suddenly become strong." Z mused.
'Star Destruction'
Nuke roared and attacked Z with his full strength made by Attribute panel. This attack is really powerful, Z face becomes serious and blocked the attack with his Mechanical arm clad in Haki.
Surprisingly, he wasn't able to block it and blasted away by the force of the attack.
"Z sensei" Ain worriedly yelled. since it's the second time, she saw her sensei lose in a head-on collision.
Z stood up from the place he got flown and thought, "Ah, I got old since some random Kid was able to blast me away."
"I suppose you used something to increase your strength to a high level for a short time. I wonder how many minutes you will be able to hold on to that?" Z spoke as he has a lot of experience and witnessed many situations similar to this.
Nuke attacked again without responding to the question, but this time Z evaded the attack instead of blocking it.
"As I thought, your strength increased but your speed became slow," Z spoke and attacked Nuke.
Since Nuke reduced his observation haki attributes, he wasn't able to evade it but Z attack didn't harm him as his strength attribute and armament haki was increased.
"What a monstrous Physical strength... He is like Garp who trained his physical body to the limit..." Z thought.
A clash between Z and Nuke continued for some time, and Nuke began to notice his physical body is reaching the limit.
He changed his attributes to Normal, he was little out of breath and gasped. 'I can fight! Even though his haki is stronger, I can hold on.'
Nuke knows Z is not as strong as in his prime and has a lot of health problems so he won't be able to fight for a long duration.
"Looks like the effect is drained," Z said.
Z and Nuke clashed once again, but Nuke took an offensive pose and began to evade every Z attacks with his exceptional observation haki.
"Kid, Are we playing a Mouse and Cat game now?" Z Spoke.
"If you Obediently surrender, I may let your friends off or I will kill them as well once I finish you off," Z uttered.
Since Nuke used his Attribute panel, his body becomes slightly weaker but he persisted in facing Z.
As the fight continued, Nuke wasn't able to block some of the Z punches and blasted away. Even so, he stood up again and again.
Lyn clenched his fist as he watched them fight. 'I want to become stronger'
Kid, are you going to die fighting? It's fine by me but what about your comrades?" Z once again spoke, he wants to break the Nuke's fighting spirit so that his friends won't fight again in future.
"Don't look down on me, I am not done yet...Furthermore, your body is not in good condition." Nuke told.
"Haha, Kid, do you think your measly strength is enough to force me to use my full strength? I have only used fifty percent of my strength... Only When I strain the body to a limit my illness acts up. If it's a hope you are clinging on I will use my full strength to Kill you." Z laughed aloud like he heard the funniest joke.
