Chapter 47
Evian Jacques vs Vice-Admiral Agora
Blinded by the extreme light, Agora could do nothing but try to shield himself. He was vulnerable now, so Evian came in hard and smashed him back. The light finally faded to its normality. Tohru watched from the top of the post. She was blushing. "My feelings towards him have bloomed into loving respect."
"Yo Agora! You wanna mess with my homey dawg Tohru, then you'll have to face my pimpness! Yee dawg!!"
Tohru watched in silence and depression. "Oh where did that love just go?"
Agora swung his staff. Evian did the same. Both staffs collided and released tremendous elemental energy. Fire and lightning. Evian twirled around and tripped Agora. Then, he dug the sharp end of the staff into Agora's back. Fortunately for the vice-admiral, his body burst into flames. The fire latched onto Evian's staff and climbed up, forcing Evian to drop his weapon.
The flames materialized into Agora, who now had both staffs in his possession. "Hehe, this is surprising. Akainu never told me you had one of the five legendary staffs exclusive to the Blue seas outside the Grand Line. They were supposed to be in the hands of the best out of the best, and the best only."
"What are you saying?"
"Hehe, I'm saying this. Akaiso has the staff of water. I have the staff of fire. Warren Chan had the staff of earth. A myth has it that the Demigoddess Queen of the Grand Kingdom, Mahakyohaku, possessed the staff of wind, but she dropped it down to the Blue seas after her daughter fell from the sky. And lastly, the staff of light. Ranpu the Lightning Thief had that staff. But he died, maybe that explains why you have it. Yet I'm getting suspicious. Akaiso mentioned something about Ranpu when he called for us."
Evian's skin turned a different color. He loosened his belt and removed it completely. His body was starting to spark violently. "To survive and to beat this guy, do I have to go to that form?"
"Ranpu. I wonder, could this actually be you? What are you up to now?" Agora barked.
Evian released even more energy than the collision he had before. "Quit talking and fight me Agora!!" Tohru could not believe her eyes. Evian was now standing buff, the cape torn off and his pants morphed into a samurai bottom. His belt gleamed a golden color because it was now a sword of electricity. His whole body was glowing. Static went all over the place. 'I'll only last two minutes in this form before it kills me. So I gotta act fast. I'll beat him out in less than thirty seconds!' Evian erupted with lightning and sent tons of lightning bolts crashing down upon Agora.
The vice-admiral quickly shielded himself by combining lightning and fire staff elements to form a barrier. Evian fired forward and swung his sword. Agora attempted to block it, but the lightning sword slashed straight through the fire-lightning barrier and ripped through Agora's vest. Agora grinned and guffawed, "Arharr.. I'm amused because you think tearing my clothing will stop me." Agora was wrong. The electricity had hit enough of him. The static spread across his body and shocked him completely. "NO!!"
Evian now dug the lightning sword straight through Agora's body. It took a lot of force to break through Agora's armor, so Agora did not take the worst hit. But that was enough to take him out of the fight.
Tohru couldn't believe what she saw. "Evian.. that was even stronger than Fuyu!! How is this happening? Evian.. who are you?"
The bystanders finally began to cheer. Agora was defeated. They grabbed their own weapons and charged past Evian and at the marines. They were motivated by Tohru and Evian's strength and courage to fight the Vice-Admiral.
Agora slowly reduced himself to flames and burned on his warship. "Damn. How did he beat me? I'm out of it guys, someone take over."
Evian too collapsed from using so much energy. Tohru was about to come help him.. but she realized where exactly she was. Sighing, she screamed, "Someone get me down from here!!! -.-"
