Chapter 26- Light and Darkness
Author Note: Well, this is really fun, making chapter titles! XD Enjoy!

Seedry gritted his teeth as Kizaru's light sword made a cut on his arm before Seedry swerved away. Kizaru smiled as he lifted his foot slightly and swiftly planted it in both Seedry's and Keyana's stomachs.

The two hit the ground while Kizaru sighed calmly. "Why don't you two pack up and leave. You aren't pirates so there's no reason to kill you." Kizaru said down to the two before chuckling.

"But assaulting an Admiral is punishable by death."

Jesus grabbed a nearby building before lifting it from its foundation and throwing it up at Rune. Rune raised her right hand before punching the building making it shatter. She landed on the ground with a crash as the ground before her crumbled.

Rune grinned before raising her right foot and suddenly appearing behind Blackbeard and his crew with her right hand in front of her face.

"Divine Burial." She said and Blackbeard and his crew suddenly slammed into the ground by some unseen force that pressed their faces against the ground.

"Ha, the lassie is like me!" Blackbeard said with a laugh before his back started turning black and he raised himself off of the ground.

"Nullification by using a force equal to or greater than the current one. Clever." Rune said as she lowered her right hand and smirked. "But let's what else darkness can do." She said before reaching her right hand behind her and unsheathing her black katana.

Kizaru had a calm smile on his face as he juggled Seedry and Keyana by continuous kicking them around without letting them hit ground.

"Are you done yet? How about now? Now?" Kizaru asked as he continued to kick the two without letting up. Seedry gritted his teeth before gripping Hellblade.

"Enough!" He snapped before swinging Hellblade towards and cleaving the ground in two as Kizaru appeared behind him with a smile.

"Not good enough." He said before kicking Seedry straight into Keyana, and into the Marine warship.

"… Oops."

Seedry muttered in pain as he got up and winced when he stood up. "Ow…" Keyana groaned as she sat up and perked up when she saw a gold locket by her foot.

She glanced over at Seedry whom was reaching down to pick Hellblade back up. Keyana swiftly picked up the locket and opened it before pausing in surprise. She glanced at the picture of the two kids before glancing to Seedry. Keyana quickly closed the locket without a sound and pocketed it before standing.

"Riviera." She said and Seedry looked over at her. "Huh?" He muttered before she over at him.

"Does that name ring a bell?" She asked and Seedry looked away before shrugging. "Why should it? Sounds like a burning pile of junk that nobody bothered to help." He said coldly and Keyana's gaze lowered to the floor.

"Yeah, I guess it was…" She whispered and Seedry's eyes widened slightly when he caught that. He turned to face Keyana until a chuckle made them freeze.

The next second, Seedry and Keyana were sent flying back out of the warship as Kizaru landed on the ground gracefully before kicking the two into the ground. Kizaru grinned slightly as he looked down at the two.

"This has been quite enjoyable. But alas, some things must end." He said before raising his right hand that a small yellow orb started to form on its palm. "Good night." Kizaru said before a foot crunched into the ground and Kizaru's orb was swiftly kicked into the air before exploding.

Kizaru's eyes widened before he jumped from another kick. "Who joins the dead?" Kizaru asked as the smoke from the explosion cleared and the person grinned as their open maroon trench coat flittered in the breeze.

"Oh, me, me! I wanna join!" A childish voice said and Kizaru raised an eyebrow as the person's grin widened.

"No, me, me! I wanna join in more!" A deeper voice said from the same person.

Kizaru narrowed his eyes before straightening up. "You're a strange one." He said before forming the light sword in his hand again.

"Am I really?" The person asked in his normal voice. "Good, strange was what I was going for." Roland said with a chuckle as he took a fighting stance.

"Let's rock, Pika-chu."

Blackbeard swerved back as Rune's katana impaled the ground from above. The vampire grinned before fully putting her right hand onto the end of the hilt and swiftly planting her foot into Blackbeard's head, making the large man stumbled backwards slightly.

Blackbeard gritted his teeth before grabbing Rune's leg, but it disappeared from his grasp. Blackbeard's eyes widened as Rune balanced on the end of her katana before planting both of her feet into Blackbeard's head. Blackbeard hit the ground as Rune stood on her katana's hilt.

The large pirate quickly got back onto his feet before placing his now black hands onto two buildings that suddenly were sucked into them.

"Liberation!" He shouted before holding his hands out towards Rune before the hands expelled the two buildings he had absorbed.

Rune watched as the rubble flew towards her before she put weight on the edge of her hilt, making the katana twirl out of the ground.

Rune smiled as she caught the katana and sheathed it with her eyes closed.

"Musei…" She muttered as the rubble neared closer.

"Karasu…" Blackbeard's grin widened as Rune's eyes slowly opened.

"Giri."

Can you say cliffhanger? ... I knew you could! XD
