The Mirrored Maze
As the calm night sky turns darker, the silent halls of the citadel were filled with knights wearing black armors as they hastily ran across the hallways of the palace of the Akuma no Kamigami.
Why did Lord Cain summon three of the Akuma? The black guard thought to himself as he ran across the halls of the beautiful palace and looked up at the winding stairway leading towards the quarters where demons of D'tiole reside.
"This is the first time Lord Cain will summon all three in one occasion, what is really happening in the Angel palace right now?" The black knight muttered as he went up the stairs and looked at the golden door where a large crest of a woman wearing a crown is seen.
"Here goes…" The knight said as he started to knock on the golden doors. "Octavia-sama!" The man wearing black armor yelled outside the door trying his best to wake the being slumbering inside the chamber.
Meanwhile, down at the Palace of Angels the Straw-hat pirates are finding themselves caught in the traps set out by the remaining members of the Tenshi No kamigami.
"Shit! What are you doing standing there Chopper? Run!" The orange-haired beauty yelled at the young reindeer as she saw the giant wave heading towards them.
"EEEKKKKK!" The orange-haired navigator yelled as she continued to run around the vast space looking for higher ground.
"FUCK, the wave is catching up!" Nami yelled as she saw the wave getting closer and closer while Chopper ran towards her.
Walk Point! The young doctor yelled as he transformed into a large reindeer and with the use of his horns carried Nami and placed her on his back. "Chopper!" The navigator smiled as she looked at the blue-haired beauty glaring at them.
"Miamiamiamiamia. Is that all you can do? RUN?" The beautiful maiden yelled as she saw her reflection on the water's surface.
"Because of you, my beautiful blue hair is damaged!" The blue-haired maiden angrily said as she raised both her hands up as the water around her started to rumble.
"I'll drown every single one of you, except you little missy! I'll make sure to kill you as slowly as I possibly can." Rina yelled again as two columns of water started rise up and form on her sides.
"She really lost it." Chopper said he dried himself and walked next to Nami who was staring at the large water column.
"This isn't good." The beautiful navigator said as she looked at Chopper and starred at the back of the blue-haired beauty and saw the water capsules holding both Sanji and Brook.
"Shit! We must find a way for her to release them." The navigator said as she looked at the angry blue-haired woman in front of them.
"I guess we have no choice Chopper; we need to take her down." Nami said as she grabbed her clima-tact and faced the beautiful maiden.
"That's what I want." Rina said as she snapped her fingers as the water columns started to shake and released water bullets towards the two.
"EEEKKKKK! This is not what I have in mind when I said we needed to fight her!" Nami yelled as Chopper grabbed the waist of the orange-haired beauty and jumped away from the attack.
"That was close... I guess we need to think of another way to attack her." Nami said as she started to look around the area, while Chopper on the other hand checked the blue-haired beauty who was looking for them.
"Come out, come out wherever you are fucking coward are!" Rina said angrily as she started to look for Nami and Chopper.
Meanwhile on the other side of the Angel palace, the first mate found him-self lost in a maze of never ending mirrors.
"What the fuck is wrong with these mirrors?" The green-haired swordsman said as he scratched his head while he continued to walk down the path where he believed he came from.
"Shit. I'm getting dizzy seeing my never ending reflection." Zoro said as he started to look around and saw a glimpse of raven-colored hair behind him.
"What was that?" The young swordsman said as he looked behind him and started walking towards the reflection he just saw.
Zoro slowly moved back as he held his swords and followed the shadow that walked towards a corner. "Who was that just now?" The swordsman cautiously said as he walked towards the corner and stopped at what he saw.
"Wha.. What the fuck?" The green-haired swordsman said as he saw a ruined city in front of him. "Where am I?" Zoro said as he saw people running away as a large explosion occurred in the distance.
The green-haired swordsman rubbed his eyes as he started to look around and saw that the maze of mirrors are now gone. "What the hell is happening?" The first-mate uttered as he found himself in a confusing situation.
"RUN! RUN IT'S A MONSTER!" A man yelled as he ran passes the dumbfounded swordsman. "EEEKKKK!" The woman yelled as Zoro saw a towering muscular figure on the distance.
"Who is that?" The swordsman said as he saw the image of the towering man clearly. "What the hell?" Zoro said as the man sported a cross-shaped scar on his right abdomen and a large tattoo that seemed like scales on his left arm.
As Zoro look even closer his attention shifted to a scream located on his right side. "EEEKKKK!" The woman shriek as the green-haired swordsman's eyes widened when he saw the five people who took Robin lying on the ground defeated.
"Sta.. Stay away…" The blue-haired knight said as the towering man moved even closer towards them. "EEKKKK! Help me!" The beautiful maiden tried her best to run but a large explosion engulfed her as Zoro stood there and watched the scene unfold.
"What the fuck? Who is that?" The green-haired man said as he looked at the towering man and saw the blue-haired woman lying on the ground unconscious.
Zoro stood still as he saw the towering man with black scruffy hair heading towards the six individuals as he raised his hand, signifying the end of the fight.
However, before the man can give the finishing blow, a large black colored flame suddenly erupted engulfing the being while five individuals with golden armor appeared on the distance.
The five golden knights stood still as a man riding a black horse flew above them and watched the towering man who was still burning with black flames.
"What the hell? is this real?" The swordsman commented as he saw one of the individuals sprouted golden colored wings and started flying while the other one jumped off the cliff carrying a fifty foot broad sword.
"Let's see how strong you really are!" The man carrying the giant broad sword said as he held his enormous weapon with one hand. One sword style: Kaminari no sutairu! Kyourai The man said as he slashed his sword and released wild, unfocused blasts of lightning.
Zoro watched as the two individuals fought the towering man while, one of the remaining entities standing on top of the cliff slowly changed his form turning into a black colored giant serpentine mass slithering towards the fight.
Black colored eyes watched the fight as a scantily clad woman raised her hands up while red colored aura slowly appeared from the bodies of her allies.
"They became faster." Zoro said as he saw the agility of the three fighters, while on the cliff a small man jumped off the cliff holding a golden cane while fog slowly covered the area of the fight.
"What the hell?" The swordsman said as he saw explosion after explosion behind the fog while the man riding on the black flying horse stared blankly at the fight and raised his left hand up.
Hell's King Sword: Amateus D'oil! The man said as a giant black mass slowly appeared on the palm of his hand.
Five giant red colored eyeballs slowly opened from the black object while the mass slowly extended and formed a demons head that surprised the green-haired swordsman.
A golden crown appeared on the top of the skull of the demon as it erupted black colored flames covering the entire head of the beast.
Its giant mouth slowly opened as a black colored blade ten feet long slowly extended and come out from the mouth of the giant head.
"Who are those people?" Zoro said as he watched the fight unfold in front of him while the man riding the black stallion waved his giant sword.
The black colored flames covering the head of the demon suddenly erupted everywhere burning everything in its path.
"FUCK!" Zoro said as he saw the flames heading his was as he turned around and started to run. "What the hell!" The swordsman added as he looked back and saw nothing but his reflection.
"What the hell was that?" The green-haired swordsman said as he looked around and saw nothing but his reflection.
"Those are the Akuma no Kamigami." A familiar voice said on his ear that surprised that green-haired man as he looked and saw Robin standing in front of him.
"Robin?" The swordsman said as he saw the raven-haired archeologist standing in front of him. "Wha.. What are you doing here?" Zoro briefly uttered as azure-colored eyes silently looked at him.
Zoro starred at the raven-haired beauty in front of her as his surroundings slowly turned to white. "The Hell is happening?" The swordsman said as he looked around and saw Robin not moving.
"Where are we Robin?" Zoro said as the archeologist stood still as she fixed her long raven-colored hair exposing what she is wearing.
"What the fuck is that?" The green-haired swordsman said as he saw the see through white Grecian gown Robin is wearing.
"Put some decent clothes on." Zoro said as he looked on his side, however the maiden stood there as a small smile formed on her face.
"Aren't you happy to see me Zoro?" The raven-haired beauty said as she slowly walked towards the dumbfounded swordsman who was standing in front of her.
"I'm here to lessen the trouble of you fighting those beasts." The raven-haired beauty said as she starred at the green-haired swordsman.
"The one you saw earlier was the fight between the Akuma no Kamigami and Kaidou." Robin said faintly as Zoro's eyes widened at what he heard her say. "Kaidou?" The green-haired swordsman said as the raven-haired beauty nodded at his comment.
"As you can see, everyone who gets in their way was defeated. Even for you, so I suggest you to stop this nonsense already." Robin said faintly as she looked at the green-haired man.
Zoro looked at her with a dumbfounded look on his face, "What are you saying Robin? We came all the way here on this fucking mountain to save you." The green-haired man said briefly as Robin stared blankly at him.
"Save me? Why? Did I ask for you to save me?" The raven-haired maiden said faintly as she continued to walk towards him.
Taken aback at what he heard her say, Zoro glared at the beautiful maiden in front of him. "Why would you say something like that? You are our Nakama, whether you like it or not, of course we will come for you!" The swordsman said as Robin went up to him.
"Is that really how you see me? A Nakama?" Robin whispered to the ears of Zoro as she extended her hands and held his fingers.
"You know Zoro, I have always liked you since the beginning. And I know you feel the same way I do." Robin softly whispered as the green-haired swordsman immediately moved his head back as he looked at the beautiful woman with a flustered expression on his face.
"What are you saying Robin?" Zoro immediately said while Robin stood there as she gazed blankly at him.
"So, you only see me as your Nakama?" The raven-haired beauty said as she held her white silk gown and slowly untying the white string that held her clothes in place.
Zoro looked at the beautiful maiden with a confused expression on his face as she continued to remove the gown exposing her body.
"What the hell Robin?" Zoro said as he turned his back to avoid seeing the body of the raven-haired beauty. "Put your clothes back on!" He added as he tried his best to compose himself.
What is she doing? Zoro thought as he once again saw the image of her body. Damn, but her body is how I imagined it to be. His mind whispered to him that made him fluster even more.
"Why are you not facing me? I know you've dreamed of seeing me like this." The raven-haired beauty said softly while Zoro remained on his place and did not budge an inch.
Shit what is wrong with Robin? The swordsman thought as he felt the beautiful archeologist's hands wrapping across his body.
"I have always admired your strong and muscular body, and how I wanted you to caress my whole body with your hands." The raven-haired beauty said as Zoro blushed at the actions of his Nakama.
"I know you always felt the same way for me Zoro. The way you look at me, the way you kissed me, I know you don't see me only as your Nakama." Robin said as she slowly walked in front of the man.
"Why don't we make each other feel good?" Robin said faintly as she completely removed her remaining clothes that shocked the swordsman.
"What the hell are you doing Robin?" Zoro said as he turned red seeing the body of the beautiful maiden. "Don't you want to feel good?" The raven-haired beauty said as she held his hands and placed it on her chest.
"Can you feel it? My heart beating is beating just for you…" Robin added as the swordsman looked at her with a confused expression on his face.
"Make me feel good with your body." The maiden added as Zoro stared blankly at the raven-haired in front of him as his mind went blank.
"Just stay here with me and I will make you happy forever." Robin faintly said as she held his chin and slowly extended her head for a kiss.
However, before the maiden's lips touched his, Zoro unsheathed his sword and placed the blade on Robin's jaw.
"What are you doing Zoro?" Robin said as the swordsman held his sword tightly. "Whoever you are, I won't fall for your tricks. The real Robin won't say such words!" The swordsman said as Robin looked at him with a confused expression on her face.
"What are you saying, you don't want to play with me?" Robin said as she held her chest while Zoro pushed his sword up towards the jaw of the raven-haired beauty cracking it in the process.
"AARGHHHH!" Robin said as the crack became larger and larger as she looked at Zoro. "How dare you!" The maiden said as she extended her hands towards the swordsman as he immediately slashed it shattering her hand which turns to broken mirrors.
"Just as I thought." Zoro said as he slashed the remaining body part of the maiden breaking it totally shattering it to pieces.
"Hmmpf… You are smarter than I thought." A person said as the surroundings of the swordsman slowly changed revealing the maze of mirrors.
"What the hell?" Zoro said as he looked in front of him and his own reflection, "The things you saw was the past of this Island, and the one that you just saw was your greatest desire." A silhouette of a man said as he slowly appeared on one of the mirrors.
"What the fuck!" Zoro said briefly as he held his sword and looked at the direction of the silhouette. "Who the hell are you?" The swordsman added as the shadow sported a smile.
"I guess I over estimated your memory." The man said briefly as the reflection of Zoro suddenly burst out of the mirrors and attacked him.
"What the fuck is this now?" The swordsman said as he jumped away and avoided the attack, "Shit. What was that?" Zoro commented as he saw his copies hit each other and shattering into broken mirrors.
"A devil fruit user?" Zoro said as he looked around and saw the silhouette of the man standing on the other side of the maze.
"Let's see if you can escape this. Mirakeji!" The man said as the mirrors slowly rose up and trapped Zoro inside a mirrored capsule.
"What the hell is this?" Zoro said as he looked around and saw nothing but his reflection. "SHIT!" The swordsman said as he was about to slash one of the mirrors the reflection turned into Robin.
"What the?" The swordsman said as he stopped his attack, "My mirrors reflects the person you cherish the most, the most important or the person you love. So you will never have the guts to strike down the person you love." The man said as he watched the mirror capsule getting smaller.
"Don't fuck with me!" The swordsman said as he pulled out his other sword. Maguma! Zoro said as he made a simple downward pound into the mirrors breaking everything into pieces.
"Rahrahahah! I underestimated you, majority of the people trapped there just waited until everything is have a strong will. I'll wait for you at the top of these stairs." Kahn finaly showed himseldf and said as the mirrors covering Zoro shattered releasing the swordsman from the maze he was trapped in.
"Zoro! You're here!" The young captain yelled as he ran towards his first mate, "I was looking for you earlier but I saw a room full of food. Shishishi." Luffy said as Zoro looked at the stairs going up.
"What's wrong?" The captain said as Zoro remained silent and held his swords. If what I saw earlier is true, then those remaining gods will be the strongest opponents we will fight, but whatever they are I will get Robin back. The swordsman thought as he looked at his captain.
"Let's go Luffy, Robin is waiting for us." The young swordsman said as he started walking while Luffy grinned at him. "YOSH! WAIT FOR US ROBIN!" The young captain yelled as the two climbed up the stairs.
Meanwhile on the chambers of the Akuma, the black knight waits patiently for the being called the Queen of Demon Gods.
"A summon at the middle of the night? What the hell is Cain thinking!" The woman with long black hair yelled as she stared at her reflection in front of her vanity. "Ugh! This is way too much! I am supposed to be sleeping already!" She added as she started to fix herself.
"Octavia-sama, please hurry!" The black knight yelled as he continuously knocked at the door of the exotic beauty.
"Wait for a moment, what do you want me to do? Go there naked?" The raven-haired beauty yelled as the knight stopped knocking. "No, but please hurry!" The knight said as Octavia took a golden orb as she gently pressed it on her lips tainting it red.
"Octavia-sama? Are you still there?" The knight yelled again as he continued to knock on the giant doors while the raven-haired beauty sighed as she walked towards giant mirrors.
"Seriously, you're making me hurry up and asking me to wear this. What do you think I wear this kinds of things when I am sleeping?" Octavia commented as she opened the two giant mirrors revealing a wardrobe where a golden garment hangs in front of her.
"Please Octavia-sama, if you are not there within thirty minutes, Cain-sama will have my head on a platter!" The knight suddenly pleaded as Octavia sighed. "It's his fault for calling us in such a short notice." The raven-haired beauty said as she started to change into the golden suit.
"I do understand, but it is an order that you should be at the chamber before Cain-sama arrives." The knight yet again pleaded while Octavia started to walk towards the giant doors that separate the two.
"Octavia-sama?" The knight again started to knock on the door as he looked at his time piece and saw only ten more minutes until Cain arrives at the Chamber.
"EEEKKKK! Are you done already Octavia-sama? Time is running out!" The knight said as he bang as hard as he can until she opened the giant doors of her quarters.
"Tssss. This better be good!" The raven-haired beauty said as the black knight sighed in relief. I'm saved. The knight thought as he watched the exotic beauty walked towards the chamber of demons.
As the raven-haired beauty made her way towards the halls of the palace, she heard a familiar laughter coming from the other side of the hallway which caused her to stop.
"Cain called the both of you too?" The beautiful maiden said as she stopped and looked at the two blonde haired individuals walking towards her.
"Kyahhh! Octavia, yoush have been summoned ash well?" The cheerful kid said as he ran towards her while Gale looked at her with an irritated face.
"What does Cain need us to do this time?" The blonde-haired man said as he walks pass the raven-haired beauty.
"I don't know. I was surprised, he summoned you as well." The beautiful maiden said as the man with blonde hair continued to walk.
"Oh come on Gale, are you still mad at me?" The raven-haired beauty said as the blonde-haired man ignored her and continued to walk.
"Hmmpf. This is so like you, that's why there is no courtesans on the palace that want to sleep with you." Octavia commented as Gale stopped and immediately grabbed a dagger on his belt and pointed it her face.
"My, my… Such a quick tempered young man you are." Octavia said as she sported a rather serious look on her face, "You shouldn't point such dangerous objects at a beautiful fragile woman like me. Also, I am still your superior, so you should know your place." The raven-haired beauty said seriously while Gale starred at her.
"You are not my superior; you are below my rank if I remembered correctly. Even if we fight now, your ability is useless against me. So you should be the one to know your place filthy Okama." Gale said with an irritated tone of voice while the maiden glared at him.
Seeing the two who started fighting, the young boy held the hands of Octavia as he puffed his cheeks. "I don't undirstend why yoush two are fighting again, we are comrades, we shouldn't fight with each other." The cute boy said as the raven-haired beauty chuckled.
"Well, blame your older brother Bunny, he started it." Octavia said as the blonde-haired kid looked at his brother as he placed the dagger back.
"Tssss." Gale just uttered as Bunny smiled and looked at Octavia, "Do yoush know, why Cain called for ash?" The blonde-haired kid said as the raven-haired beauty shook her head.
"I don't have any idea Bunny, how about you Gale?" You have any idea? Octavia said as they started walking while Gale looked at the two.
"I don't really care and whatever it is, it's a waste of my time. Even asking us to wear our uniforms!" The blonde-haired man complained as Octavia looked at Gale and Bunny.
This is rather strange, Cain asked us to wear our armors. The raven-haired beauty thought as she saw the soldiers who are designated to guard the palace of demons kneeling before them.
Hail the Akuma!
Hail Gale-sama!
Hail Octavia-sama!
Hail Bunny-sama!
The black knights yelled as the three walked and entered the chamber of the Demon Gods, while on the other side of the hallway a man with black colored hair swiftly walked as he made his way on the halls of the grand palace.
The Cavaliers wearing black armor kneeled down at the presence of the man walking. The known Demon Knight of the twelve Gods and the rule keeper of the Isle, he made his way towards the chamber of the Akuma no Kamigami.
"My Liege, we already summoned Gale-sama, Octavia-sama and Bunny-sama as you commanded." The black knight mentioned as the red-eyed man silently looked at his disciple as he entered the giant red colored doors of the chamber of the Demon Gods.
"I wonder what is happening." The black knight said as he looked at the doors of the forbidden chamber where only the strongest of the Gods of D'tiole can enter.
While the knight was about to leave, he felt a powerful presence from the distance, "What is this?" The knight said as he turned his head and saw the feared leader of the Akuma walking towards the chamber alongside the beautiful red-haired maiden.
"Ve… Vergil-sama… Rosalia-sama…" The knights said as they quickly kneeled down and watched the two entering the Chamber of Demons.
"Wh… What is happening…" The knight's said as they all looked at the pitch black room as the doors suddenly closed causing panic to everyone who saw them. "The whole Akuma is gathering, are they going into a war with a yonkou?" The knight said as they all know too well the strength each one of them possesses.
