Chapter 6: Celestials and Demons

Five months have passed since the proclaimed "demon children" met. And since then, their relationship has all but blossomed. One knew more about the other: what makes them happy, what makes them tick, their likes, dislikes, the list goes on. Not only that but they were able to experience how each other's devil fruits functioned (Luffy, of course, thought it was so cool). Apart from that, their meetings have been almost casual. Throughout this time, with Robin's help (she offered and he accepted), Luffy was trying to get a lead on where Makino was since he was never able to find her for those whole five months. He was worried for her and desperately wanted to find her and make sure she was safe. However, one day, his question was answered, and his world was in for a rude awakening.

One day, Luffy and Robin were just chatting and strolling down the town like any normal day. However, they noticed that something was off about the place…. They were all on edge. "What's with them? It isn't like them to be this afraid. It's rare.", Luffy stated as he stared at the ones visibly shaking and standing in two lines, as if letting someone pass. Suddenly, they both felt an enormous presence behind them, causing to made a 180 degree turn and saw who they were lining up next to.

They saw a man wearing white robe that resembles a spacesuit with an oxygen tank attached to a bubble or glass case around their head in order to not breathe the same air as those around him. In addition, he wore a yellow bandana around his left arm and had strapped 5 pistols and 2 boxes of ammo along with them. He also had two items that seemed to be used to samp things and held a scowl on his face throughout the whole time he and his guards walked through the town.

"...Where the hell is the shop?", The noble asked one of his guards.

" Just a few more blocks, sir.", The guard stated.

"...Why don't you go over and get those kabobs for me?", The noble asked, slightly irritated.

"B-But sir…", the guard started to protest.

BANG!

The now lifeless body of the guard fell to the ground with his brains and blood draining from his cracked open head. The spectators' reactions were mixed. Some were frozen in shock, some were looking away in disgust, others were vomiting their recent meal. Luffy's and Robin's faces was blank at the spectacle since they didn't really care about what just occurred and they have seen worse than this. After about 12 seconds of silence, the noble spoke up to another of his guards.

"..Bring in the slave. I've done enough walking for one day", the noble stated, stretching his arms.

"Y-yes sir!", the guard said, obviously still terrified.

"Slave?", Luffy's bad feeling triggered and he his hand twitched.

Two guards brought in a woman chained by her neck and arms. She was littered with wounds and marks that a whip would make on your body. Her clothes were tangled and ripped into a bloody and clothy mess. Her eyes held an enormous amount of fear and terror that luffy never thought would see on another person's face. On top of that, she was visibly shaking and sweating like it was a blazy hot summer day. But her face … it was her face that looked oddly familiar to him. The green eyes, the green hair (although, it's mangled) … it all looked so -

Luffy's eyes widened as he screamed in his head: 'MAKINO!'

At the revelation, his fists clenched and he started grinding his teeth as mental images of what could have happened while they were seperated and what happened before that damned buster call. His head started pounding, the ringing came back, the pain was unbearable. He clutched his head with one hand and starts to breathe a little harder. He kept his breathing low so he wouldn't attract any attention, but damn it was difficult to not lash out and attack those damn a-holes.

"P-Please … let me g-"

"SHUT UP! YOU ARE SPECIFICALLY TOLD NOT TO TALK OUT OF TURN!", one of the guards screamed at her as he right-hooked across her face, leaving another bright purple mark on her cheek. Luffy's blood started boiling more and more. He could feel the bloodlust from his inner demon just thrashing around in it's mental cage. He started visibly twitching and more sweat was dripping from his eyebrows and face.

Makino then shaking stood up to face the noble's eyes. They looked bored and unthreatened. She stared into his eyes with disgust, hate, and a small tinge of fear. But, he just shrugged it off and gave her an order: "Oi. Make like a horse and lead to that market over there."

She didn't move.

"...oi. I gave you an order."

No response.

"Get. Moving." He was getting impatient. The bystanders watching or nearby could feel a creeping dark aura, leaking a little from his body. It was so intense, causing buildings around him to crack, windows to shatter, and the air pressure to increase and causing people to suffocate. Robin was able to breathe, albeit barely, and luffy was just shuddering in fear and shock.

'T-This pressure… it-it's crazy! I've never felt anything so terrifying and huge!', luffy exclaimed in shock.

The noble narrowed his eyes at her as he spoke" "Look. i have a severe headache this morning and i don't feel like dealing with your bullshit right now. So just do what i tell you … or there will be consequences." More of that terrorous aura started to leak out. What Luffy started to notice was that most of the bystanders were slowly falling to the ground with foam forming in their mouths.

'What the…?!', Luffy thought.

Makino took a step back. If you couldn't see her quaking on her ripped boots, then you could really see it now. She has never looked so terrified in her life and it was dangerously showing. He started to walk towards her, with each step she takes one step back from him. This little cycle kept going for until she tripped and fell to the ground. He stared straight into her soul and said only two words: "Get. Moving."

...She didn't move a muscle. "I-I..-"

BANG!

A shrill scream filled the air as a bullet bursted through Makino's shoulder, blood splattering all over the area. Luffy's heart pounded in his ears and head, the ringing was even louder than any times before then. He felt like he was suffocating and his whole brain rattled and throbbed in excruciating pain. He wanted to scream. He wanted the pain to stop. He didn't want to be reminded of that event, that nightmare, that constant reminder of his first, biggest, and most haunting failure.

...You couldn't protect them…

His muscles slightly bulked and red stripes appeared around his arms and shoulders.

... You let them die…

His front teeth extended and sharpened as he quietly groaned.

...You are weak…

His eyes were tainted with black and his pupils shifted from the calm black to a demonic shade of red. He menacingly growled.

...You're as worthless as any other human being…

'He's beyond forgiveness… HE NEEDS TO DIE!': was Luffy's last, rational thought.

…

...

Robin was, understandably, shaken and enraged at the fact that he would prey upon a defensless woman like that and even more enraged that no one (still conscious) would step in to stop him. She decided that she had enough and turned to luffy so they can leave … or where luffy was. She knew almost immediately what was going on as she saw luffy delivering a sharp uppercut to the noble's lower jaw. It caught him by surprise and he was sent back a few meters before regaining his ground. But as soon as he stopped, luffy rammed his head into his abdomen, knocking the wind out of him, grabbed him by the shoulders, and double kicked him into a building. Some seconds later, the noble stood up and brushed off the dust on his clothes and pulled out two pistols and shot at him. However, luffy was too fast for him as he dodged all of the bullets and went in to try and bright-hook him again. Keyword: tried. As soon as luffy moved his fist near his face … he vanished.

Luffy was shook at first, but quickly turned behind him … just to find the noble's outfit laying in a heap on the floor. Confusion halting him, the noble nailed him in his left cheek and sending him flying into a broken building and piles of broken glass and drawing blood from his mouth. When Luffy got his bearings back together, he finally got a good look on him. He was now wearing a plain blue T-shirt and sleeveless gloves, with black jeans and nikes. But what was off was that his right fist was pitch black. But before he could question further, he dashed at him faster than he could see and back hands him from behind and air punches him through a few buildings.

"Is this all your tantrum can do for you? It's pathetic", the noble spat. This succeeded in angering luffy further and the pressure he was emitting to increase slightly and he rushed at the noble again and clashed fists. Luffy threw hundreds of punches to any open spots, like his abdomen, his arms, his jaw, etc. However, he dodged and/or blocked and/or countered each blow as if a giant was fighting a flea. With each taunt the noble makes at Luffy, he got more enraged and more pressure leaked from his body as he tried and tried to land a devastating blow on him, but no avail.

This cycle went on for about five minutes until the noble finally had enough. "You provided me enough entertainment…" He dodged one last punch and punched Luffy in his chest so hard that it caused his own heart to vibrate and crack slightly. Luffy screamed in pain and the noble used this opportunity to chop him at the back of his neck, successfully knocking him out. "...and you never had a chance to win. You lost the moment you acted."

As the noble stood over Luffy's unconscious form, he swiftly caught a hand that has grown on his shoulder and slowly crushed it, listening to the sickening sound of the bones cracking under the pressure. He turned to where he heard the low grunts of pain from the small crowd of bystanders. Without another word, he zipped right to the woman and knocked her in the gut, instantly passing her out. "Don't interfere", the noble stated. He then turned to the guards as he ordered them: "Forget about the market. Bring these two to my special prison. They're devil fruit users. I wonder how long would it take before their will breaks into nothing but dust."

They responded with "RIGHT AWAY, SIR MACKEREL!", and carried the two unconscious devil fruit users to his personal ship.

A whole new type of hell was waiting for them buy the time they wake up…
