Bab 134: Chapter 134
[Tani P.O.V.]
I'm standing in front of the guy I was looking forward to fighting. We're standing in the middle of the battlefield, but everyone is keeping their distance from us. I guess no one wants to get close when an Admiral is about to start fighting.
"You're Admiral Fujitora, right?"
"I am, and who might you be?"
"My name is Tani Yuichi. And like you, I live in the darkness. But unlike you who let the darkness consume you, I was born in it. I wanted to ask you why you decided to abandon a gift so precious."
"What makes you think that I did this to myself?"
"Captain said it."
"Well, I don't know how he found out, but that doesn't matter. The reason why I decided to blind myself is because I became disgusted with all the evil and corruption that I had seen in the world."
"Then why did you join the Navy? Becoming an Admiral is especially the worst decision someone who hates evil and corruption could have made. Being a dog to the embodiments of evil, what excuse do you have for that? Or do you think that just because you can't see it, it doesn't matter?"
(Why do I have the feeling this guy will pull a Naruto and Fujitora will suddenly abandon the navy? I mean, he already has the protagonist's determination, so what if he also has a protagonist's mouth?)
"Don't think that just because I'm an Admiral, I don't feel disgusted by those bastards. But the only way to rid this world of evil is by doing it from within."
"Did you just openly say that you're going to kill the Celestial Dragons? You're lucky that with everyone keeping their distance and the battlefield being so loud, nobody probably heard you."
"I never said such thing. I just want moral justice to be served, and that's why I joined the Marines."
"Moral justice? Do you think that you'll really be able to serve that as long as they're at the top? But I guess you'll first have your hands full with the marines. There will be no way that everyone here will follow moral justice."
"I know that, but I'll have to at least try, or it will always stay the same. If no one takes the first step, we'll never be able to move forward. Even if it's impossible, I'll still lay down my life for my dream."
"I guess we're more similar than I thought. I also lay down my life without thinking twice for my dream."
"If I may ask, what is your dream? Do you want to become rich? Do you want to kill till your heart's content? Do you want to find the One Piece? What exactly does a pirate dream of?"
"To help my Captain achieve his dream."
"Hm? Why would you lay your life down for scum like him?"
"Scum? I guess that's what a white sheep would say?"
"Huh, what do you mean by white sheep?"
"Captain said that there are two kinds of people in this world. Those who follow the majority and don't think for themselves, he calls white sheep. And those who think for themselves and don't just believe everything the majority say, he calls black sheep."
"I understand now, but what else would I call someone like him besides scum?"
"I don't know. That's something you have to find out for yourself. But to me, he is someone that far surpasses any of the so-called gods."
"Hahaha, you guys really must be brainwashed by him. How could you call someone like him a god?"
"He taught me how to see without needing the same gift that almost everyone has been born with. He gave someone as weak and useless as me a chance to become stronger. And above all, he saved my mother from certain death. Now tell me, Admiral Fujitora, is that something that your gods would do?"
"Just because he made one person's life better doesn't mean I'll ignore the thousands of lives he stole. And especially in this war."
"How disappointing. I hoped that you wouldn't be like the rest, but it seems like you're no different. Your moral justice is just a joke."
I felt him moving his hand towards his sword.
"As I thought, the first thing you do when you feel offended is going for your weapon. I won't waste my time educating you. I hope that you can find out by yourself."
I suddenly felt something big falling from the sky coming towards me.
"A meteor is falling down!" screamed a marine soldier
I felt everyone run even further from us.
"You know, I never had a talent for anything other than Kenbunshoku Haki, and Captain seemed to realize that. Do you want to know how he made me strong enough that he let me face off against an Admiral?"
"I guess he must have lost his mind."
I appeared right behind him, with my back facing his.
"He made me train till I couldn't even make it to my bed, for every single day."
"BOOOOOM"
The meteor crashed into the ground and created a crater and explosion. But neither Fujitora nor I moved a single inch.
"It seems like I have underestimated you a little."
He touched the cut on his cheek.
"That is a technique that Captain has only taught to me and hasn't even shown to anyone else. So you should feel honored."
(For those that don't remember. The so-called super technique that Vlad scammed Ken with taught a way to give your fist the power to cut. The primary use of that technique, however, was to teach Ryou. But Tani doesn't know how to use Ryou.)
"Gravito."
He unsheathed his sword, and I felt an extremely heavy pressure around me. The ground under me suddenly caved into a deep hole, and I fell into it, landing roughly on the ground.
"Gravito."
I'm standing behind Fujitora's back, and I immediately disappeared from there. He unsheathed his sword, and a deep hole suddenly appeared behind him. He turned around and looked at me. I could clearly feel his surprise.
"How did you dodge that? Even the other Admirals got caught the first time I used it on them?"
"As I said, Captain wouldn't let me fight you if he didn't think that I stood a chance."
He appeared in front of me and swung his sword towards me. It seems like he realized that talking will just be a waste of time. When his sword was about to touch the top of my head, I sidestepped and tried to punch his wrist with my technique, but he grabbed my right hand with his left. He changed the course of his sword strike and went for my throat.
I used my left hand to punch his arm up, making him slash the air above my head. I immediately twisted my hand, releasing myself from his grip. I made a backflip and tried to kick his chin, but he moved back, making my attack miss. I suddenly sensed something and used Geppo to appear right in front of him. I grabbed his collar, and I pulled myself towards him. In an instant, I was sitting on his shoulders with my legs strangling him.
"I've already seen through that attack of yours. You're Devil Fruit is really powerful, but if I'm on your shoulders like this, you won't be able to attack me with your fruit."
I brought my two fists together and smashed them on top of his head while using Haki. He used Haki to protect his head, but it still hurt him.
'Shit!'
I quickly jumped off his shoulder, and something passed right past me. When that thing hit the ground, a big explosion happened.
"Oh, you actually managed to dodge that. How impressive." said someone in a slow voice
"Come back here, you stoned bastard!" screamed Deuce
I just looked at that guy and Deuce for a second before I looked back at Fujitora.
"I'm sorry, kid, but I won't let you get a chance like that again. It seems like the reason you were able to dodge all my attacks was because you can use Future Vision, right? This means that I'll just have to make sure that you won't be able to dodge even if you see it coming." said Fujitora
I suddenly felt something dangerous.

[Important notice:
Starting next week, I'll have a busier school schedule. So I don't know whether or not I'll be able to bring out 5 chapters a week like usual. So if I'll have to cut down the number of chapters per week, I hope you guys can understand.]
