Hello everyone, I hope you like this chapter.
Chapter 29
"So...these are the Straw Hats Daimajin spoke of." Thanatos said while looking down at both Naruto and Luffy.
"Usopp, Chopper, get away from here now!" Naruto shouted while having a serious look on his face, along with Luffy as they were staring at Thanatos who had the black most swirling around him slowly with Caesar standing behind him.
"Oh, I see. You don't want you comrades too get caught up in this little fight." Hearing that, both Naruto and Luffy glance at each other, having an unspoken conversation between the two before Luffy extends his right are too reveal three links that recede back into him body.
"Gear Second!" Luffy shouted while Naruto grabbed the handle of Samahada just the most headed for them but surprisingly Naruto swung down his weapon, letting it devour the devil fruit mist that surprises Thanatos a little bit before having a right fist slam into his left cheek from Luffy who had disappeared, reappearing on his left but that Haki covered fist didn't cause Thanatos too move back which surprised the captain who stares at Thanatos who's face was still covered yet draws his arm back when he saw Thanatos was turning towards Luffy too reveal glowing dark purple eyes as well as must coming from the hoodie.
"Did you honestly thought that would have even a remote affect on me." Thanatos said and just before he raises his right hand causing a wave of water too rise from the sea, heading straight for Caesar who merely stood there, allowing himself too be consumed by the water yet the wall of black goop didn't even react from the main body being damaged at all. Seeing this, Naruto was Chrono early confused until the water that was swirling all around Caesar explodes with a large amount of black goop consuming the ocean water, seeing this Naruto was now greatly shocked at the devil fruit user unaffected by the ocean water at all, see he was standing there with his cloak wet with black goop coming out from his sleeves and from were his feet are.
"King of the Ocean, you have a lot too learn about this world." Hearing that, Naruto just glares at the Hades Pirate member, about too attack until until he jumps out of the way too avoid the wave of must along with Luffy, getting too high ground all the while everyone had escaped from the fight that broke out.
"Seeing the mist's affect, Luffy we can't get near him soooo..." As he said it, Naruto raises his left arm, causing a large amount of water too ride from the ocean under there feet in geysers that head straight for Thanatos and Caesar yet seeing this, the man known as Caesar raises
"I better make this quick..." As he said it, what he saw next was a surprise from seeing Caesar holding both hands up too unleash a large amount of black goop that devours the water, not decreasing in size one bit like everything it touches is devoured by the goop.
"No water..." Caesar said while he stuck out his left hand, moving his left index finger back and forth.
"If you do then our other comrade will kill the other members you have yet too meet up with." When they heard that, Naruto's eyes just widen before he grits his teeth in anger.
"Luffy, wee need too move so fast he can't even hit us but also we need-" Naruto stopped cold with his eyes widening. Hearing Naruto had suddenly stopped talking, Luffy looked at Naruto too see he was no longer moving but his eyes were completely wide, staring at his right hand that held Samahada too see that the weapon was twitching with its scales turning an ominous purple. H the hand that held the weapon had black veins spreading up his arm slowly.
"Seems that weapon couldn't negate the the pestilence that has affected it including its now spreading into your body. Don't worry, you won't die but everyone else will, if you beat me then my power will deactivate." Thanatos said before looking back at Caesar who was taking a few steps back knowing its going too be a one on one fight now.
"D-Dammit..." Naruto said before falling backwards, unable to move with the veins no longer spreading but they didn't disappear either.
"Luffy, find the others immediately and-" he was cut off by Luffy moving with incredible speed too another location all the while not getting too lower ground in order too avoid the black mist of pestilence. Seeing Luffy disappears and reappearing in different sports began too Thanatos.
"Know what, I'll make it more fair and not make it impossible too attack me." Thanatos said with all the black mist returning too his body trough the hood and sleeves. The moment he did that, Luffy appeared in front of Thanatos who looks down at Luffy with his right arm being drawn back with mist coming from the sleeve too surrounded what appeared too be an overly-large glove that was frayed, and bear a zigzag pattern below the fray, however, attached to the zigzag pattern are also irregularly-flowing designs that the resemble bone structure of the hand, as they travel down from the forearm of the glove and branch off at the knuckles and travel down to each fingertip. While this was happening, before he had bright his arm, Luffy's right arm was extended far back with Haki forming around the arm.
"Now you-" Thanatos couldn't even finish that sentence from Luffy unleashing his own attack right after he spoke.
"I WON'T LET YOU GUY'S KILL ANY OF MY COMRADES! GOMU-GOMU NO..." as he spoke, the fist was engulfed engulfed in fire "RED HAWK!" Luffy screamed, launching his blazing fist into Thanatos's face coming the entire hoodie and his head in flames. Seeing this new attack, Naruto was sitting up in surprise at watching Thanatos yelling in pain while grabbing his face, stumbling back with the fire not going out.
"Fire...but how?" Naruto thought too himself, on his stomach and looking up too watch the fight that was taking place.
"Amazing, he ignited his arm from the steam being released...but..." Caesar just stops thinking right there, watching Thanatos who had both hands blocking his face that was no longer on fire.
"Ow...I'm guessing you just challenged me too a fight with Haki." He said before pulling his arms away too reveal a faceless mask covering his face, having a melted fist impression a blood coming from the bottom of the mask. Thanatos merely cracks his neck a few times too get that knot unloose before staring at Luffy who had both his arms covered in Haki before they both swing there right guard that connected, causing s powerful shockwave from the two Haki fist's connecting with one another but Luffy was the one sent flying back when Thanatos put more force into his punch.
"AMONG EVERYONE OF THE HADES PIRATES, MY HAKI IS THE STRONGEST!" Thanatos roared as he charged straight for Luffy who bright both his arms up in order too block the powerful strike of a single fist of Thanatos that sent Luffy crashing into the now collapsing viral structure.
"YOU WANTED A FIGHT WITH HAKI AND IM GIVING YOU THAT FIGHT!" Thanatos shouted just as Luffy launched himself right for Thanatos from the cloud of smoke, having both arms far extended back and covered in Haki. Not waiting another second he sent both at Thanatos who merely stood there, taking the full strike of the Haki enhanced strike yet he just takes a step backwards before jumping straight at Luffy who had landed on the destroyed Coral, jumping too the right in order to dodge the next powerful strike of Thanatos that shattered another coral structure.
"I heard you wanted too be the king of the pirates yet you are no match for me when it comes too Haki and strength! I DON'T EVEN NEED MY DEVIL FRUIT POWERS TOO DEFEAT YOU!" Thanatos shouted before causing more explosions from each time he tried hitting Luffy who had jumped out of the way. The third time he missed they were farther from the others, it only took a few minutes for Thanatos too notice he was being led away from everyone.
"What are you doing?" Thanatos asked, finally stopping with Luffy looking around too see if anyone was nearby.
"Good..." Luffy said right before biting his right thumb, seeing this the Hades member was confused until he watched as the rubber man's arm grew largely with it being covered in Haki right before he sent it at the now wide eyed Thanatos with the words "ELEPHANT GUN!" leaving his mouth as the fist heads right for Thanatos who brought big his arms back.
"THAT WON'T WORK!" He shouted before he too swung both his arms forwards with the fist's connecting with the fire fist causing once more another powerful shockwave too shake the ground itself while they yelled but Thanatos's eyes widen at Luffy pulling the arm back so he could send another at the shocked Thanatos who never guessed he would throw another chat until it was too late, the giant fist slamming into his entire body, both crashing into a large coral structure that had all but collapsed onto Thanatos. Seeing this, Luffy just stares at the destruction be caused until the entries ok lapsed structure explodes with a large amount of black mist. From it rises a single monster
"I must admit, I never expected an attack like that...eheh...ahahahahahahahahaAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!" Hearing that laughter, Luffy's eyes widen all the way at witnessing Thanatos's form changing with the shredded cloak being destroyed completely. He looked like a monster that was cloaked in a black mist that had completely consumed his body, looking like a demonic demon from hell. His entire body was now black with the body appearing too be muscular with the eyes glowing dark purple. His own teeth was now jagged mist like teeth.
"As you can see, this is me when using the full power of my Pestilence Form. I want you too see how you will defeat me before my pestilence infects you and kills you." Thanatos said too Luffy who was staring at Thanatos before grouting his teeth in anger at his strong he is.
"If you don't show me your true power, I'll make it so my pestilence kills Naruto! I don't give a shit what Daimajin would do, all k want is a fight!" Thanatos shouted at Luffy's who's eyes just widen before with a deep breath he sighs before taking off both his sandals which slightly confuse Thanatos but more so at watching Luffy bite his left Haki covered arm. Seeing this, Thanatos was clearly confused until he saw something a little different then before. Luffy's left arm grew largely while hearing him shout "MUSCLE BALLOON!". He didn't stop but continued inflating it, causing his entire body too change drastically. Luffy's proportions become warped and his body becomes much larger in size, with his arms, upper torso, and legs coated in Haki. The coating across his torso resembles the wispy ends made from flames, giving it the appearance of tattoos, and he gains shading around the inner and outer edges of his eyes. With much steam being released, Thanatos had a hard time trying too get a good look at Luffy but even so he releases the pestilence all around his body at a shield too kill Luffy if he gets too close. When the steak clears away somewhat he got a good view of his now changed body.
"Gear...FOOOOOOOOOOOURTH! BOUNCE-MAN!" Luffy shouted, bouncing every two seconds in the air. Seeing this, Thanatos was clearly confused at what he was witnessing yet something about this form told him too switch his power abilities.
"This is the result of my training for two years..." Hearing that, Thanatos extended his right arm too unleash a massive wave of pestilence at Luffy.
"Even so, I don't think you can knock me out with a single punch." Thanatos told Luffy who had quickly vouched high into the air too avoid it, disappearing with every bounce until he appeared in front of the shocked Thanatos who saw his right fist being drawn inwards while pulled back. Even when he was having the pestilence entire his body.
"GOMU-GOMU NO..." Hearing that, Thanatos quickly draws his right arm back but it was too late.
"KONG GUN!" Luffy shouted as he slammed the fist directly into Thanatos's face, the impact of the strike sent Thanatos flying far away, through many coral structures until he finally stops in a crater.
"It took him...a single strike too defeat me?" After saying that, the pestilence began receding into his body too reveal himself not wearing clothing, having scales on his entire body. He just sits up, revealing himself too have long black hair covering his body. His entire body wasn't really muscular but more so skinny with a spiky like lizard tail coming from his tail bone area.
"It seems...he's gotten much stronger." As he said that, his voice appears too be less monstrous them he was minutes ago but more so calm before showing a dark smile.
"He may have beaten me once, now comes Fami-" he stopped there when he felt his power was all but gone.
"That's enough, Draco." Hearing that, Thanatos merely turned around too find the third member of there crew wearing there cloak and hiding his face. Seeing him, Thanatos's eyes just narrow in anger too reveal light green irises and slitted pupils.
"That is not my name anymore, it's Thanatos...now why did you stop me Zen?" Hearing that, the man merely shook his head.
"Can't let you do that, your powers are too dangerous as well as I was strictly told too stop you two if you're about too do something stupid. The boss never actually wanted you too endanger his crew but more so of a test but if you guys didn't know that then your idiots." Hearing that, Thanatos glares at Zen but before he could do anything the coat of Zen's opens up too reveal a single sheathed sword.
"Don't even think about it, or you die." Hearing that, Thanatos only looks down in anger while Zen turns his back too him.
"Now, we're leaving...I can assume that you're going too?" After saying that, Zen looks too see Caesar appearing from the black goop on his right.
"Yes, I'm done analyzing the enemy captain." Caesar said with black goop swirling around the three, while this was happening the lizard looking man of group had a lost look in his eyes with only one thought in mind.
"That attitude and will...its just like her's." He thought before closing his eyes with the three disappearing along with the black goop.
