As the opponents continued to stare at each other, each decided on the other. For Suzaku, it was obvious that his opponent liked to take his time to make his enemies suffer, he could see it in his cold gaze and smell it in his stained smell of blood and tobacco with a hint of hazelnut. And for Amande, this man was not ordinary, indeed he had been able to slice several soldiers at full speed without Haki as well as cut a bullet in a fraction of a second, nevertheless the Minister of Nuts felt a strange energy, as heavy as... as...
Amande (completely draws her sword): No, it doesn't matter. I'm quite enthusiastic, it's the first time I've fought with a fencer of your level.
Suzaku: Likewise, I can see in the way you move that you hit in a slow way, my complete opposite.
Amande: Beware, appearances are often deceiving.
Immediately after these words were said, the mage and the pirate began to swing their swords so rapidly that they created a cloud of dust around them, allowing only the clanking of blades to be heard. clashing. When the noises stopped and the dust settled, you could see the extent of the damage: The floor was dotted with large nicks here and there, but that wasn't the only consequence. Once Amande raised her sword in the air and Suzaku let go of his hilt, a gash appeared on the latter's cheek, then on the Demon Lady's, before another opened along the biceps. right of the Dragon Eater.
Amande (smiles slightly): Hey, who taught you such boorish manners? Frankly, disfiguring a woman's face.
Suzaku: Sorry, but for me in a fight, there is no man, no woman, no strong or strong and no weak, just opponents. And you don't seem to care about the maintenance of your lungs... unlike me.
The Minister of Nuts was puzzled before seeing her cigarette fall apart, wiping out her smile. There, she was shocked, that he managed to cut such a small object in the crowd, but especially that he dared to do it.
Suzaku (lowers his head): All of my apologies, but I have a sensitive natural sense of smell and your smell of tobacco is already taking me quite
Amande (bitterness in the voice): Slow Waltz!
He hadn't had time to finish his sentence, he could already feel Amande's blade to decapitate him from the left. He dodged, only letting the sword grab a few strands of his bangs before he flinched back, almost as if he was sliding on the floor.
Suzaku: I was sure...
Amande: You have good reflexes, but my sword is craving blood... Suffer like hell before you die.
Suzaku: Your sword will have to make do with the cuts it's already inflicted on me, because I won't leave you any more openings. Because if you take your time... I make sure to finish off my opponent as quickly as possible!
In a fraction of a second, she almost got sliced in half, but thanks to her Haki, Big Mom's daughter had been able to anticipate and before jumping in the air doing a back flip, to finish behind the member of Diabolos.
Suzaku: She dodged?!
Amande: A sword-drawing art, huh? All right, that's going to be the moment of truth, we'll see if this technique works against him.
As Suzaku turned to see his opponent, he only saw a small cloud of dust, signaling that she had moved. But where?
Suzaku: Where was she going?
Amande: Slow Tango.
The Dragon Eater spun around extremely quickly and saw Amande walking slowly behind him as he charged at her, the pirate disappearing again, leaving Suzaku lost. Then the pattern repeated itself several times: he ran after her, while she disappeared quickly to reappear slowly not far away.
Suzaku (facing Amande who is walking slowly): I'm starting to figure out the technique. She tries to destabilize me with slow movements...
In an instant, the Demon Lady nearly cut off Suzaku's foot.
Suzaku: ...Before volleying me again with lightning acceleration! If that's it, I have to corner him in another way. Kurnugi-Style Sword-Drawing Art...
As she brooded over her failed amputation attempt, the Minister could swear she saw the man's barely unsheathed blade glowing.
Suzaku: ...Underworld Cycle!
Said blade then deployed a circular shock wave which, if it had not dodged it by taking refuge on a roof, would have cut it in two like the fountain and the majority of buildings. He was definitely no ordinary swordsman: he was using a Devil Fruit.
Amande (comes down and repeats Shirauo): That's enough.
Suzaku: Pardon me, but I don't think I understand what's bothering you.
Amande: Don't take me for an idiot. You ate a Devil Fruit that you mix in your attacks.
Suzaku: That devil thing again. I will be as clear as possible, I ate a dragon and gained its power.
Amande: A… dragon?
Suzaku: Indeed, by devouring this dragon, I acquired this power that I actually use in my fights, applying it to my physical abilities. This is the Sword Saint Dragon Slayer Magic. Although, it kills me to admit it, I can't quite get to grips with this magic.
Amande: Magic? Sure. In any case one thing is certain, this style is very powerful. Your master, that famous Kurnugi, must have been a formidable swordsman. I would like you to tell me who he was for you. A master or a father?
Suzaku (tilts his head to the side, whispering): What did you say there?
What did she dare to say?! She didn't come from… but if… she had dared… she had dared… SHE HAD DARED TO TAKE HIM FOR HER DISCIPLE! How?! How could a warrior of her caliber dare affiliate it to HIM?! This monster, this calamity, this bastard, this rot of the worst kind!
She didn't deserve to live like he did. Then he devoured them, her as his sword, as punishment.
Suddenly, the air began to tremble again, but it wasn't due to some clash of forces, no. Almond could feel it in the ground and the atmosphere. She had just touched the sensitive spot that shouldn't be touched, because when Suzaku looked up, he was unrecognizable. His face was covered in veins, his nose was bleeding when the pressure from said veins was strong, and his eyes...they were dripping with murderous intent. No more fair fight, this time, Suzaku the Vermilion Dragon, was going to turn this city from nut brown to blood red.
Suzaku (holds his sword firmly, shaking): I forbid you… I forbid you… I FORBID YOU TO AFFILIATE ME WITH THAT DIRTY DRAGON, UNDERSTOOD!
This time, no more possibility of dodging, Amande had barely had time to move her neck a few centimeters, almost getting her head cut off, but she nevertheless had a scratch on her collarbone, proof that she had almost died.
Suzaku (turns around with a dark look): Shit, I missed that one. No big deal, I won't end up having it.
Amande: It completely changed pace. Is it really the same man as before? He releases one of these wills. I feel like I'm in front of Big Bro Katakuri or Mama. No, it's something else again, something… inhuman. He seems so serious about this dragon story, this Kurnugi would be the dragon in question?
Suzaku's gaze was simply blank. Empty of meaning, empty of emotions, empty of life. He then got back into position, while staggering: It looked like only his legs were active and his upper body was dead and nearly falling every time.
Suzaku (leans forward to charge): Kurnugi-Style Sword-Drawing Art... Underworld Purgatory Dance!
This time, Amande had dodged quite a bit and the attack was taken full force. She now had gashes all over her body, her clothes and hat were ripped and red all over, to the point where it was a miracle that she was still all those arms and legs…or else it was by design. The real sadist now was Suzaku, his sly smile showing with Amande's blood that had splattered on his cheek showed it.
Suzaku (licks the blood): Finished the moral sense. Do you want torture? I'm going to give you torture, me!
For the first time in a long time, Suzaku fully drew his sword. We could now see it completely: it was also a field sword, it had a hand guard with a floral pattern on it, as well as a kind of cuirass of plates at the base of the blade which extended over a third of the latter, explaining the strange shape of the scabbard. Except for these few details, this sword seemed very ordinary. But if it was so commonplace, why was there a crack on the blade of Charlotte Linlin's seventh child?
Indeed, under the influence of pain, Amande had not noticed that her sword, which was certainly not a Famous Sword but of high quality all the same, was split.
Amande (sweats slightly): Impossible! I had him covered in Haki, how did he split such a weapon with such a basic sword? He still didn't strike with his sheer brute force? If so, I need to kill him, ASAP! Want speed? You will be served.
Suzaku: I wait!
Amande: Fast Flamenco!
In an instant, the blades clashed, creating sparks. The name of the technique was well found, its movements were fast and so fluid that it looked like Amande was dancing. Even if she had to draw on her resources, Amande now stood at the same level as her opponent. The Fifth Generation Dragon Slayer was too angry to pin down the third daughter of the Charlotte Family, because if he could, he would have been overwhelmed by both the technique and the woman herself. Nevertheless he was clear enough to dodge and parry some of the blows of the sword, whose blade had turned black.
Suzaku: When his blade changed color?!
Indeed, the real strength of Fast Flamenco was that Amande simultaneously used her two Haki in addition to becoming extremely fast: Color of the Observation to predict the opponent's movements to counter him and Color of the Armament to make Shirauo as resistant as possible. It had become a waltz of death punctuated by the sudden tinkling of the blades: The fencers tearing each other apart, tearing each other apart, torturing each other. If before their confrontation was limited only to the place, now it was the whole city which was taken as a dance floor. Each attack that did not hit its target slashed the environment, and buildings hit were most often sliced in half. The fencers themselves, were so caught up in their fight that they couldn't see that they were screaming the following words at the top of their lungs:
Suzaku, Amande: VICTORY IS MINE!
On a hill overlooking Peanuts Town, Amande's sisters, their men and the civilians could only be spectators of the carnage that had been offered to them for a few minutes. All took shelter when a wave of sharp wind headed towards them. Effiler didn't move, paralyzed by the fact that the attack that was likely to decapitate her was aimed at her neck. Well, it would have been possible had his older sisters not intervened by blocking the attack with their Haki coated swords. Once out of danger, Monder and Hacher turned to their youngest, to see her on her knees, all shaking.
Monder: Are you okay-monder?
Effiler (terrified and angry): Of course not! I almost went there!
Hacher (walks past her sisters with a smirk): Guess you're not strong enough to do without your big sisters.
Effiler (stand up to Hacher): Repeat if you dare!
Hacher: Any news about reinforcements?
?: We got a call from Whole Cake Island, Brulee-sama will be on the way. You did well to bring a mirror.
Monder (turns to the city): In that case, hurry up-monder. If they continue, the fight will spread to the whole island-monder.
Hacher: Do you think we should go?
Effiler (runs, weapons in hand): Of course we're going! Almond is our sister! Get ready, dirty pervert, I'm going to pierce you like Swiss cheese!
Hacher, Monder (follow her, eyes closed): Is she really going there for our sister?/-monder?
In town, the fight continued to escalate, and as presented by Monder, if we didn't stop Suzaku and Amande, the whole island would be caught in the storm of blades. The two concerned were there, breastfeeding and covered in sweat. They were covered in wounds from head to toe and couldn't take their eyes off each other.
Amande: It's okay, have you calmed down?
Suzaku: Sorry, but I still want to gut you.
Amande: I too am sorry. It seems obvious that Kurnugi was no mentor for you. I imagine how you felt when you killed him.
Suzaku: Unfortunately, I'm not the one who killed him.
Amande: What? If I was right and Kurnugi is the dragon you talk about so much, so-
Suzaku: Verily, the one who hadst felled him was my master. A true Dragon Eater, Georg-sama.
Amande: Your master? Explain to me. If I can learn more about him, it might help me defeat him.
Suzaku: As said earlier, I am a member of Diabolos. It's a wizard guild made up only of Dragon Eaters, and as our title indicates, we are a specialized dragon-hunting guild from whom we take powers by devouring them. Although there are about ten of us, we are definitely the number one wizard guild of the continent of Guiltina. Georg Reizen, to my knowledge the first Dragon Eater, is the founder and master with his Four Beasts Dragon Slayer Magic.
Amande (shocked): Only ten?
Suzaku: Exactly, I am a member of Diabolos' strongest force, the group of the Dark Dragon Slayers Knights. Yet I am not the most powerful of the four. I am certainly stronger than Haku, but Misaki surpasses me by far, but well above is Kirin, he is the most powerful of Diabolos.
Amande: There you lost me a bit. I know of no "Guiltina" or "wizard guild" continent named Diabolos.
Suzaku: So my intuitions are confirmed. One of them made me leave Earth Land.
Amande: Earth Land? And who are you talking about?
Suzaku: Of the Five Dragon Gods. They are the most powerful dragons in Earth Land, the world I come from. I was sent to slay Selene the Moon Dragon God, Georg-sama told me she has the power to cross dimensions. It seems that she made me leave Earth Land, my home world, where magic is an art like any other. If she wasn't the one who brought me here, I don't see any possibility. You would have to be stupid or incompetent not to control such an ability.
Whiteout Village
GWP: Atchoum!
Maiden: Great Priestesses, did you catch a cold?
Peanuts Town
Amande: Indeed, that would be ridiculous. But if what you say is true, then we can compare your five dragons to our Four Emperors.
Suzaku: Emperors?
Amande: They are so called because they reign as such over the New World, as much in influence as by force. This is the second half of the Grand Line, an ocean that crosses the world like a deadly road. The only real continent in this world is Red Line. You are precisely on the territory of one of them, Charlotte Linlin alias Big Mom the Emperor of the Sea.
Suzaku: Charlotte? Would you have a connection with her, you and your sisters?
Amande: My sisters and I are his second through fifth daughters and sixth through ninth children.
Suzaku: Why are you talking about it like there are a lot of you? It's true, it's a lot but.
Amande (with monotony): We are a family of eighty-five children.
Suzaku (shocked): I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING, IT'S LOTS OF PEOPLE!
Amande: Also know that we are wanted pirates with multi-million bounties. "Dead or Alive", this is what is written on our wanted notices.
Suzaku (gets into position): Pirates? I see, you are a criminal. In other words, it was written that we would face each other, because it is my responsibility to arrest you. I'm going to finish it with my best technique.
Amande (gets ready): Not if I kill you first.
The wind began to swirl around Suzaku, seeming to intensify and form a circle around him as he assumed his stance.
Suzaku: Kurnugi-Style Sword-Drawing Art…
Amande: What would it be this time? I can't wait for him to show me his "best technique".
Suzaku: Abyss.
Suddenly, Suzaku changed his posture, and the circle tripled in speed and strength becoming a real vortex, he even began to attract Amande towards him as the attraction was intense, seeming to darken and generating strange black lightning. Moreover, Amande could then see the energy of earlier more clearly, she no longer had a human in front of her but an animal- No! Amande was facing a real dragon of flesh and blood, which only looked human.
Amande: Abyss? It's not the same style as before!
Suzaku: So far I used Kurnugi's style. You will see my personal technique! A style I hast devised to defeat any dragon!
Amande: I understood! This pressure he gave off and which was similar to them. That was it! In fact this type, impos-
Suzaku: Underworld Black Purgatory Slash!
The wizard interrupted the pirate in her thoughts, rushing at her, the vortex seeming to follow him, and in a flash, he would slice through her opponent with a gash running from her right shoulder to her left hip. In addition, Amande found herself caught in the vortex now seeming to be made of pure darkness, or rather real abyss. But that was not all, not only had he sliced Amande, but Suzaku had also smashed her completely Haki-coated sword.
Amande (spits blood): He would possess it too?!
Taking one last look at Suzaku, she saw the Dragon Slayer's determined gaze, and smiled before fainting.
Amande: I have to say, you have what it takes… Suzaku, thank you for showing yourself to be stronger than me.
When the woman fell to the ground, now defeated. Suzaku turned to see his handiwork, though puzzled.
Suzaku (breathless, sheathes his sword): What was that weird feeling just now. I have used this technique many times before. But here it was different. I exhausted my physical and magical forces, this is nothing new, but there I felt like I had put something else into it. What was that black lightning?
Out of breath, the last of the two fencers still standing collapsed from fatigue. Under the shocked or terrified gaze of the spectators, or rather those who weren't fainted. Indeed, while he was on his guard, Amande's sisters and part of their troops had seen the final attack of the fight, and when the intruder had delivered his blow to Amande, a part soldiers had dropped like flies. Even the Charlotte sisters were close to kneeling. The only ones who moved were Effiler and some of the men who had first aid kits.
Effiler: Amande!
?: Go find a qualified doctor! We must treat Amande-sama and those in the coma!
As for the girls, a thought preoccupied all three of them.
Hacher: He just… no, I must be dreaming.
Monder: This man... He...
Effiler (bandages Amande): Me who thought I could defeat him. So what to do about it…
Monder, Hacher, Effiler: This guy has the Haki of Color of the Supreme King!/-monder!
YO, this is DJ-Zombie on the decks!
What a denouement, huh? Suzaku who have a king's ambition. I must tell you that at Diabolos, I see that he and Kirin or Kyria to have it (with of course the Six Dragon Gods), tell me your pov. As you noticed, I based myself on the chapters of Fairy Tail 100 Years Quest. But be aware that Suzaku and Amande's moment is pretty much the same as the debut of Zeldris vs Lucociel (anime) and the final of Gyutaro vs Tengen (anime, after Tengen's score). I know I said in "Alternative Future" that I will update soon. But know that I chose the worst time to post this story. Indeed, I was in high school in 1st and I had my lessons, interros, white BAC tests (10 written, 14 oral, the two coefficients 5) so I think I had the right to indulge myself by relaxing a little. I hope your exams went well for you too. And yes I admit it, I lied. I did not write this chapter in advance.
To tell you the truth, I got there yesterday afternoon, that is Friday and I finished everything at around 0:10 in the morning. More exactly, the first chapter and what you read until "Slow Waltz" dates from the beginning of July, then I resumed after the release of chapter 111 of Fairy Tail 100 Years Quest (for information: I want to swear that I'm Katakuri. I was sure we would have technique like "Underworld Dance" or "Underworld Black Purgatory Dance"). Then everything from "Fast Flamenco" to the end of this afternoon at noon until about 0:10 am and I still take time to write these "little" messages to inform you and in addition to modify certain passages at the last minute.
AND IN ADDITION I HAVE TO TRANSLATE EVERYTHING PARAGRAPHS BY PARAGRAPHS! BECAUSE YES, I AM FRENCH! VIVE LE BERET, LA BAGUETTE, LE COQ ET LA TOUR EIFFEL!
If you want to know everything, since Monday I've been camping and I can't take my cell phone, stroke of luck from fate (thank you brother, you're saving me), we're with my uncle who has unlimited networks although there I have some connection sharing problems with my computer. Luckily, I'm leaving on Sunday because my uncle and I are awesome. It's more the camping that pisses me off. Guys I'm 17, so the camping...
Otherwise I still hope that you will have liked it, and that you will continue to follow me. But if you wanted to know everything, I still have doubts with what I just did. So this time, it really is the last time. Sorry, but you're going to hate me.
In the reviews for this story: I want to put TeamZoanSake or TeamParameciaCandy depending on who you want Suzaku to join, skip a line, then on the third, do whatever you want. I can't wait to see how many of you will respond, even if my notifications (personally I hope ;D) will be incessant. And you can still choose who from Ulti or Black Maria will be Suzaku's crush if he's at Kaido because if you haven't understood yet, at Big Mom I chose Amande.
Well it's 3:53 and by the time you read this, I posted this FUCK chapter.
It was DJ-Zombie on the decks, TCHAO!
