Capítulo 20: Inevitable Enemy...
Chapter 20 (BONUS CHAPTER)
Title: Inevitable Enemy...
….
As Jaw clashes swords with the gigantic sized Smoothie, he smirks as he notices that she has a look of anger on her face.
'Foolish girl… this will cloud her Observation Haki.' Thinks Jaw as he immediately holds his sword with one hand and pulls back his free hand as the hand darkens.
*fwosh!*
He throws a past jab towards her stomach.
Pow!
The blow hits, Smoothie winces at that, she could feel her organs being smashed around. The pain stuns Smoothie for a split second, that is when Jaw's hand with the sword moves in weird motion too and his sword gets through her guard, and like a snake, it goes straight for her head.
Jaw simply says. "Sorry but I am not competent enough with a sword to hold back."
Suddenly a voice behind Jaw says. "No need to hold back."
Immediately Jaw's senses jump to the max, his Observation Haki picking the intention of the one behind him immediately Jaw jumps forward and under Smoothie's legs, not even having enough time to think clearly as he sees a shiny dark mochi flow towards him.
Jaw turns around and punches the air.
pow!
And as the mochi is going to envelop Jaw, with a delayed reaction. It suddenly gets shattered all around. He sees who his opponent is and smiles. "Well, well… it seems like I have been tricked."
Says Jaw, completely relaxed, contrary to his dire situation. He has already realized what situation he was in.
Smoothie has a little blood come out from the corner of her lips, but she still smiles. "Yes… we did say that our army split. We said it loud and clear."
Jaw laughs at this even more. "Hahahaha. I guess I bit off more than I could chew."
The Big Mom family told everyone the plan and they used this to lure Jaw out. Due to not knowing where he lives, they decided to do this and trap him.
Suddenly the clouds turn dark and lightning strikes about. That is when Jaw has a worried look on his face. "It seems like even Big Mom will be joining the party... huh!"
Jaw senses a lightning bolt coming for him, he doesn't dodge it at all.
Baam!
The bolt hits him, Smoothie immediately goes for a slash, until Katakuri stops her by extending his hand by turning it into mochi and holding her back. "Smoothie, don't… he isn't fazed at all."
Suddenly Jaw's body, who seems paralyzed and shocked… moves with ease, and Jaw gets back his smirk on his face. "I guess that Big Mom is close by… it seems like sadly I can't fight with you Katakuri."
"If you think that escaping the Big Mom pirates is so easy, then sorry to burst your bubble but.... today is the day you die Jaw." Replied Katakuri, with no change in his expression.
Jaw simply raises an eyebrow at this. "Well then, it seems like you are underestimating me."
His face then morphs into a serious one. That is when he rushes at the edge of the ship and jumps off.
He looks below him and as expected, the water is boiling with steam coming out of it.
The Big Mom Pirates have fought countless fishman like Jaw, so they know how you can catch a fish at sea.
But Jaw's body is immediately covered in a black color Haki, he also closes his eyes so they are not hurt by the heat. He relies completely on his Observation Haki to 'see'.
Splash!
As soon as his body hits the water he can feel the extreme heat, but with his Haki, his body easily handles it. He starts swimming away when he sees that some of his soldiers were killed by the heat. But they were the weak ones who couldn't escape.
'Hmmm… It seems like I lost this confrontation.' Thinks Jaw a little saddened by the outcome. But he wasn't discouraged at all. Expecting to win against Big Mom just by himself is a faraway dream and he knows that.
His years of training are nothing in front of someone like Big Mom, who was born to be a monster. She most likely didn't need to physically train a day in her life to get her power.
But contrary to feeling jealous of Big Mom's natural born strength. Jaw on the other hand doesn't complain about anything like that. He knows that complaining about something like this is useless, the only thing he can do is train like there is no tomorrow… and train again even more. Until one day, he can fight with monsters like her on even foot.
'This world's physical training has amazing results. Someone can get buff by just doing ten pushups every day.' Thinks Jaw, and as he feels the water around him get colder… no it's returning to normal temperatures as he is going deeper into the ocean. A smile appears on his face. 'If I train endlessly, I will one day catch up… no I will surpass monsters like her. Then I can be a father worthy looking up to.'
….
It doesn't take long for Jaw to arrive deep enough where the heat doesn't reach him. He looks around and sees his soldiers who survived, they all had angry looks on their faces.
One of them gets close to Jaw and bows down.
"I am sorry Jaw, we couldn't help you at all." Said the man, who seems like a half red octopus type of fishman.
Jaw has a smile on his face and just puts a hand on the nameless soldier's shoulder. "No need to worry, you guys would have just died for nothing if you tried to help me."
The man smiles back and promises that he will do better next time.
But while Jaw is saying that, in his mind, none of these people will ever even come close to being helpful. But he will have to make due… until his children grow up.
'My precious children… we shall have this world together. I will give you my love and you will give me the world.' Thinks Jaw as he just flexes his muscles, feeling the power inside his body. 'I should train some more and plan on how to counter Big Mom if we fight personally.'
….
So like this one more month passes, no more skirmishes with Big Mom happen. It was almost totally quiet.
And during this time at the bottom of the ocean, Jaw is currently meditating. Trying to train his Observation Haki and widen its range, to see better underwater and see better even while fighting, he needs to be aware of his surroundings.
Bubbles were coming out of his mouth. Suddenly his eyes open and he 'looks' around with his Observation Haki… a disappointed look appears on his face.
'No progress at all.' Despaired Jaw a little. No matter how much he trains, his Haki isn't getting any better without battles. 'My will isn't into it. I always have an escape plan, that isn't the mindset I need to get my Haki stronger. Then it's simple... I will just temporarily change it...'
To Jaw, it seems inevitable that he should fight a strong enemy to train his Haki. And that enemy will be… Big Mom. He knows that Katakuri, though strong and would be a good challenge to Jaw. That would be only if he didn't use Fishman Karate, which is a direct counter towards Katakuri's Mochi-Mochi No Mi. So he can't fight him… and the other Big Mom Sweet Commanders are too weak for him.
He knows that he needs someone that he can go all out against… and then go beyond. He could go and fight the Kaido pirates, but he knows that he doesn't have the luck Luffy has. As soon as he gets the enmity of two Yonko, he will immediately have to go into hiding. His power is insufficient to survive something like that, plus he might spark a premeditated Kaido and Big Mom alliance, and that would spell doom for him. He knows that much at least…
….
….
During this time, in the New World, Big Mom has other plans. She is currently on her giant ship, inside the captain's cabin.
She is talking with someone from a Den Den Mushi. "So then it is confirmed that that is the little fish's hideout."
The Den Den Mushi has a frowning look on its face. "Yes, Mama. It has been confirmed. Bonjour~"
Big Mom's smile turns malicious. "Who would have expected that someone would hide on that island… well it seems like I will be cooking a lot of fish tonight."
Kacha!
Big Mom turns off her Den Den Mushi (transponder snail) the smile on her face wouldn't go away.
"Mamamamamamama…" Laughs Big Mom. "It seems like after months and months of searching we found your hiding place little fish."
….
Big Mom and her children were careful to not let the information get out of their family or very close associates. They knew that Jaw has informants on the Big Mom crew, and Jaw getting that information would be disastrous, it took them quite long to find him. If there was to be a next time, it would take years to find him again.
….
….
Fourteen days passed like that and Big Mom could finally see the dreaded place… the place that they discovered that Jaw is hiding is a place called Desert Island, it is a relatively small island on the Calm Belt.
The Big Mom pirates couldn't help but be surprised at his ingenuity. A fishman army living on a deserted island is a first for them.
But as the whole Big Mom armada with hundreds of ships gets close to the island. They immediately notice something strange… a man… no a fishman was flying… no more accurately.. he was jumping on-air as he looks at them. It is Jaw, with a smug look on his face.
"Big Mom, it seems like you are as dumb as you look." Mocks Jaw, as a smug smile appears on his face.
Bug Mom has an angry look on her face. "Y -YOU BRAT." She screams in anger, creating a giant shockwave that moves that creates small waves all around the ships.
The people close to her cover their ears.
"I will skin you alive little fish." Says Big Mom with a murderous look on her face. Her eyes are bloodshot and veins pop on her forehead. With her energy creative a crater below her, cracking the ship.
"Zeus." Calls Big Mom, as a cloud appears in the sky. She immediately jumps on the cloud, as it turns dark with lightning all around it.
"Prometheus." Suddenly a cute sun comes out, but it turns murderous as the flames surround Big Mom. Her hat comes off and she calls out one more time. "Napoleon."
Turning her hat into a giant sword. She just swings back her sword and looks towards Jaw.
"Go and die you little fish… <IKOKU SOVEREIGNTY>.
*BOOOOOM*
A giant shockwave comes towards Jaw, and even he has a momentary look of shock on his face, due to the power he is looking at. But that is only a split second reaction as he brings his fist back, and elegantly, water gathers around it, forming something that looks like a water drill.
As soon as he can sense Big Mom's shockwave attack come close. Jaw smiles at this and punches with all of his power.
<VAGABOND DRILL>
*BOOOOOOOM*
....
AUTHOR NOTE:
Hope you like it. Jaw tricked big Mom by making it seem like someone betrayed him, just so he can fight Big Mom in his terms.
P.S: When this story reaches 4000 Power Stones, it will get +1 Bonus Chapter that day.
