Bunny of the Akuma no Kamigami
In a chamber where only the dim lights of torches gave little illumination to the vast space, the dark and chilling manifestation of energy from three beings were felt by the royal knights who were kneeling down in their presence. Empty and emotionless eyes gazed blankly as the golden door separating their chamber from the rest of the palace opened freely as a single black knight entered the area.
"Vergil-sama…" The black knight said as his voice briefly cracked while he looked at the intimidating silver-haired man who was sitting in a large black throne in the middle of the dark chamber.
The royal guard started to sweat profusely as he tried his hardest to maintain his composure in front of the strongest man in the whole country of D'tiole.
The unnerving silver-colored eyes of the man known as the King of the Twelve Gods of D'tiole watched the black knight. His gaze focused on the man standing in front of him, causing the raven cavalier to immediately kneel down due to the overwhelming presence of the man before him.
"Fo… Forgive my disrespect my Lord… However… Bunny-sama suddenly ran off from his designated area. Our… Erm… The black knights are looking for him, and at the moment, the Hall of Clouds doesn't have anyone guarding it." The black knight nervously said while the silver-haired man remained silent as he looked at a glass of red wine he was holding.
The man with silver-colored hair took a quick sip of the red wine as he suddenly threw it towards the head of the black knight surprising the remaining guards inside the chamber. "Ughhh." The raven cavalier said as red colored liquid dripped down his head.
Broken shards of glass, blood and the red wine stained his head while the black knight started to shake due to fear from the man they considered their superior for four long years. "We cannot do anything if that's the case." The man who was standing with serpentine red-colored eyes said as he looked at his personal guards, their protective gear seemed to glisten as the light of the full moon reflected on their black armors.
"Look for Bunny and make sure to bring him back to his designated area." The raven-haired man said with a low tone of voice which had enough authority to make the trained squad to sweat as the man who is known to be the keeper of rules of the twelve Gods looked at them emotionlessly.
"Ye… Yes Cain-sama." The ten royal guards said as they immediately disappear from the dark chamber while emerald-colored eyes gazed blankly at the raven cavalier who was still kneeling in front of them as a faint breeze blew inside the hall.
Her crimson-colored hair moved freely as she placed her slender hands over the ruby colored strands slowly fixing her hair as she stood still in front of the men who vowed to protect them.
"You may be dismissed." The maiden known as the songstress of D'tiole said in an emotionless tone that surprised all the royal guard who heard her.
Everyone was lost in wonder to what has happened to their Gods as the kneeling knight made a fist as he started to shake. "Ye… Yes…" The black knight said as flashes of his past surged from his mind and remembered glimpses of memories he had with the Gods they sworn to protect.
"They are not our Gods!" The royal knight said as he suddenly looked at the three figures before him who looked at him with emotionless gazes that would give chills to anyone who saw it. The royal guard started to sweat as the raven-haired man who was once standing started to walk towards him.
The emotion of fear and angst rushed the royal guard as he watched the man walked towards him. "No… I shouldn't be scared of them." The royal guard thought as he made a fist and looked at them three beings.
"What happened to the Gods who vowed to protect our land! Our kind Gods who… Ughhhh…" The royal-guard said hysterically however, before he could finish his statement a large black colored sword pierced his armor passing through his body as he immediately flew towards the chamber due to the force and was pinned on the wall.
"UghhhhARGHHH!" The royal guard said as blood spew out from his mouth, "Wha…" The raven cavalier said as he moved his hand and tried to hold the black sword on his body. His eye sight started to blur out as he looked at the three beings and saw black colored wings.
"Ve… Vergil-sa…" The royal guard said as his eyesight turned black while the remaining royal guards remained silent at the scene that just unfold while the maiden with emerald-colored eyes watched faintly as the black knight lost his life and looked at the silver-haired man who remained silent.
An emotionless gaze from silver-colored eyes stared down at everyone on the room as his black colored wings slowly disappeared as he placed his hand on the armrest of the throne he was sitting. The black sword which pierced the body of the royal guard slowly disintegrated causing the lifeless body of the cavalier to fall to the ground.
"Leave us!" The raven-haired man ordered causing the remaining black knights inside the chamber to immediately leave the throne room as the flames of the torches died down leaving the dark chamber into an abyssal state.
Meanwhile at the lush forest six hundred feet below the Palace of Demons, the members of the Strawhat Pirates are making their way through the dense jungle trying to locate the dock that would lead them to the center of the palace where the remaining gods reside.
"Ughhh. I think that guy tricked us!" The beautiful orange-haired navigator said with an irritated tone of voice as she started to look around the area. "This is hopeless; we might end up getting lost here, than finding that dock!" Nami added as she saw nothing but trees and vegetation surrounding them.
"Viola, can't you see anything?" The beautiful navigator said as she looked at her nakama with a curious look on her face; however the raven-haired dancer just shook her head as she looked around the area where they are in.
Zoro just remained silent as he continued to walk following his Nakama. Shit. He might have really tricked us. The green-haired swordsman thought as he looked around the area and saw the rest of his nakama looking around for a sign of the dock.
"I'm hungry!" The raven-haired captain started to complain as he briefly held his stomach which started to grumble uncontrollably, "I need to eat." Luffy added as he stick out his tongue and looked around searching for food.
"You know what Luffy, since we landed on this Island. I haven't heard you said that yet." The young orange-haired beauty said with a frown on her face which caused the captain to look at her in a confused manner.
"What are you saying? I always say that if I'm hungry!" The raven-haired captain said while Nami just looked at him and sighed. "This is hopeless talking to a moron." The orange-haired navigator said as she held her head while Ace just smiled at his brother who still looked rather confused.
"I don't get it!" The raven-haired captain said as he scratched his head while Zoro walked pass him, "She was being sarcastic." The green-haired swordsman said as Luffy looked at his first mate with a confused expression on his face.
"Sar… what?" The raven-haired captain said as he looked at the green-haired man who continued walking. "She was what Zoro?" Luffy asked as his eyes immediately widened and looked at Nami, "Where are you hiding the Sardines?!" The captain asked while Sanji and Franky looked at the captain as a sigh slipped out their mouths hearing his statement.
"Since when did someone say Sardines?" The blonde-haired cook said as he looked at Luffy who looked at him with a grimace look on his face. "Zoro said she was saying want some Sardines." The raven-haired captain said as the green-haired swordsman silently looked at him.
"She was just being sarcastic stupid." The blonde-haired cook said as the young captain looked at him with a confused look on his face. "I'm not elastic, I'm rubber." The captain suddenly said which confused Sanji even more.
"Well, Luffy you are technically elastic…" The long-nosed sniper said briefly as their captain looked at him with a confused look on his face.
"I think we better check for food, the idiot's brain already hay-wired." The beautiful navigator said as the raven-haired dancer just chuckled as she suddenly stopped which caused Nami to look at her.
"What's wrong Viola?" The orange-haired beauty said while the female dancer just stood there, her eyes slowly squinted as she focused on the things in front of them.
"I see something ahead of us." The beautiful dancer said as the rest of the crew looked in front of them and saw nothing but trees. "What can you see Viola?" The long nosed sniper said while Chopper and Brook looked ahead.
"Ehhh! What happened?" Luffy said as he saw his nakama standing still, while Zoro, Ace and Law looked in front where they heard a faint noise coming from the distance. "What's that?" The cyborg said briefly as the noise is getting closer and closer to them.
"Whatever it is, it's coming this way." Sanji said as everyone started to prepare, "Here it comes!" The cyborg commented as the rest looked in front. "YAAAAHH!" Nami, Usopp and Chopper yelled as bushes rustled as giant white round shaped rabbit suddenly appeared in front of the crew.
"EEEEEHHHHHH? What's that?" Nami and Usopp said with a confused look on their faces while the rest of the crew stood still and looked at the giant animal in front of them.
PIRU! PIRUHHH! The white rabbit made noises as it stared at the Strawhats.
"AHHH! It's cute." The orange-haired navigator said as she looked at the giant rabbit while Usopp and Chopper nodded which signifies they are agreeing to her comment.
"I never saw rabbits like this before." The long-nosed sniper said as he looked at the fluffy white fur ball in front of them, while the creature on the other hand continued to stare at the whole group.
"YOSH! THERE'S FOOODDD!" Luffy excitedly yelled as he jumped in front of the group as he looked at the creature which was staring at him. "Ehhhh.." The young captain said as his head tilted, while his eyes blinked as he stared at the beast.
"Hmmm.." Luffy briefly said as he placed his hand on his chin and looked at the others. "I don't know what it is, but is it edible?" The raven-haired captain said with an excited expression on his face as the others looked at the creature which just appeared before them.
"What are you saying edible, you can't eat such a cute thing stupid!" The orange-haired navigator said while the circle shaped rabbit looked at them as it's black eyes that seemed really small for its size continued to stare at the crew.
"But I'm really hungry!" The raven-haired captain said as he looked at the creature as a large tongue slowly appeared on the side of the white rabbit. "Huh? What's that?" Usopp momentarily commented as the giant rabbit slowly opened its giant mouth exposing hundreds of sharp ten inch teeth to the crew.
"EEEHHHHH?" Usopp and Chopper said while Nami and Viola looked at the animal with a confused expression on their face. "Are you seeing what I am seeing?" The long-nosed sniper said as he pointed at the creature in front of them while the rest just nodded as they heard a loud noise coming from the creature in front of them.
PIIIRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRR!
Nami, Usopp and Chopper looked as they saw the circle shaped creature jumped towards them with its mouth wide open. "WHAT THE HELL!" The three yelled as they started to run while Sanji and Luffy looked at the giant rabbit which leaped towards the group.
"Looks like you will have your meal after all." The blonde-haired cook said as he quickly spin around making his foot bright red because of the heat of the friction.
Flambage Shot! Sanji said as he threw a kick the side of the giant rabbit hitting it and causing it to hurl towards the forest. "YOSH! MEAT!" The young captain yelled as he immediately ran towards where the rabbit was thrown.
"LUFFY! Don't go running off like that!" Nami yelled as she watched the raven-haired captain disappear in the shadows of the dark forest. "Ughhh!" The orange-haired navigator just said as she placed her hand on her head while Ace just chuckled at her.
"What's so funny Ace?" The orange-haired navigator irritatingly said as she looked at the young man who continued to chuckle as he looked at her. "You know Luffy, You can't really stop him if he is hungry so don't be so mad." The raven-haired man said as he started to walk pass the beautiful navigator following his little brother.
"Tsss.. I guess he is right, there's no need for me to get worked out about him." The orange-haired navigator thought as she looked at the rest of the crew. "I guess we have no choice but to follow them." Nami added as Chopper, Brooke and the rest just nodded and started to walk towards the dark area.
Zoro just stared at Nami who went ahead of him. The young man just sighed as he started to walk towards the area where the rest of the crew went. I guess it can't be helped… Dammit. The young swordsman thought as he continued to walk trying to find where Luffy went.
"It's too dark to even see my hand in front of me." The swordsman commented as he started to scratch his head.
Tsss… We are wasting time here… We should be looking for the fucking dock. The green-haired swordsman thought as his eyes slowly moved from side to side trying to look for his Nakamas.
"Where the fuck are they?" Zoro finally said as he started to see small flickering light ahead of him. They must be there. The swordsman thought as he started to hear noise from the area.
The swordsman continued to walk as the small flickering light became bigger and bigger until he reached a clearing where he saw Luffy and the others standing in front of the fire where the meat of the giant rabbit is being cooked.
"ZORO! Have some meat! It's good!" The young captain said happily as Sanji just took a long drag from his cigar and looked at the man who is standing in front of them.
"Heh. I thought he got lost again, good to see you join us Marimo." The blonde-haired man said while Zoro glared at the cook but remained silent and just looked around and saw his nakama sitting around the fire.
Tssss… We should be looking for the fucking dock not wasting time here. The swordsman thought as he started to walk ahead causing the rest to look at him.
"EEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The crew simultaneously said as they sported a confused look on their faces as they couldn't believe the green-haired swordsman didn't say anything to Sanji's remark.
"Zoro didn't react to Sanji? It must be the end of the world." Franky and Usopp commented while Viola and Nami just stared at the green-haired swordsman who just looked up at the mountain.
"What's going on with him?" The orange-haired navigator thought as she saw Ace walking towards the first mate of the Strawhat pirates.
"We should be heading out soon… Don't worry…" Ace said briefly as he tapped the shoulders of Zoro and took a bite at the meat he was holding on his other hand; while Luffy overhearing the statement of the raven-haired man nodded to his brother's comment as he took a large bite on the meat he was holding.
"Yosh! Now I'm full we can go get ROBIN!" The raven-haired captain yelled with all his might as the others grinned at his comment. "SHUT UP STUPID!" You will cause us to be discovered! The orange-haired beauty yelled as she punched the head of their captain.
"OUCH! Why did you punch me!" Luffy yelled as he puffed his cheeks as he looked at the beautiful navigator, while Nami just sighed hearing his comment. "This is hopeless. He already ate but his brain is still not working." She said as she looked at the rest of the crew.
"We are still in enemy territory, so you better tone it down for them not to find us moron." The beautiful navigator said as she looked around the fire and saw the others fixing their things.
Zoro on the other hand looked at his nakama and grinned briefly at the scene he just saw. Tsss.. What gotten into me. The green-haired man thought to himself as he realized he was acting differently. Something's up with this forest. He again thought as he looked at the rest who started to stand up from where they were sitting.
"I guess we should start looking for that dock!" Nami said briefly while Viola nodded as she started to look around as she stopped something in the distance.
"I see something there…" The raven-haired dancer commented briefly as she saw something sparkling causing the rest of the crew to look at the beautiful dancer. "What did you see Viola?" The young captain asked as he went towards her.
Nami and Usopp looked at Viola as she pointed in front of her. "There is something sparkling over there." The beautiful dancer said as Zoro, Sanji and Ace looked at the direction she is pointing.
"I see it too!" The orange-haired beauty said while Chopper and Brook nodded to her comment as they saw the sparkling object in front of them. "Us too! Is that the dock?" The two said excitingly while Luffy started to run ahead of them.
"YOSH! THE DOCUGHHH!" The captain yelled happily, but before he could run away, the beautiful navigator grabbed his collar causing him to stop on his tracks. "DON'T GO RUNNING AHEAD OF US! WE WILL GO THERE AT THE SAME TIME!" The orange-haired beauty said as she glared at the young captain.
"But Nami, I want to check if that's the dock." The young captain said briefly as the beautiful navigator just glared at him. "Like I said we will go there at the same time. It will be a hustle for us if you got lost." The beautiful navigator said faintly as the rest of the crew started walking towards the sparkling object.
As the group walked in the dark forest, Zoro looked around the area as he saw nothing but trees and vegetation. Shit… What the hell is wrong with this forest? The green-haired swordsman thought as he looked around.
I felt something earlier… Shit… Did we really end up walking in the enemies trap? Zoro thought again as he heard Usopp and Chopper talk.
"There it is…" the long-nosed sniper said as the crew looked ahead and saw a silver arrow pointing towards the east side of the forest. "It's an arrow?" Chopper said briefly as Nami looked at the area where it is pointing and saw a dirt path.
"What's that? Is that a path?" Sanji said as briefly while Ace and Law walked towards the area and nodded. "Yeah… It's a path…" The raven-haired man as Nami looked ahead of the two men trying to think of something.
"Do you think it's the path heading to the Dock?" Usopp said while Nami shook her head, "I have no idea, but I think we should check it out!" The orange-haired beauty said as she placed her hand on her cheek.
"Yeah, I think we should follow the path, rather than us roaming aimlessly in this forest." Viola commented as Ace pointed his finger forward and shot a single flame bullet causing Nami to look at him with a confused look on her face.
"Huh?" The orange-haired beauty said briefly as she looked ahead and saw the flame bullet flew forward, the beautiful navigator then saw a large cave in the distance.
"Hmmm... A cave…" Nami said as Ace nodded to her comment. "I am not sure but I think the dock is located there." The raven-haired man said as the orange-haired beauty placed her hand on her chin and nodded.
"Yeah, maybe you're right Ace. I think we should check it out just to make sure." The navigator said faintly as she looked at the rest of the crew whom are looking at them.
"I think the dock Kahn said is located in that cave. We better check it out!" The orange-haired beauty said as Usopp's eyes widened. "Huh? We will enter that dark and spooky cave?" The long-nosed sniper said briefly as he started to shake.
"Come on! Are you sure the dock is there? It maybe a trap!" The sniper said as he looked at his nakama whom started walking towards the cave. "Oi, come on guys! I have a bad feeling about this!" Usopp said as Nami just looked at him.
"Come on Usopp, you always say that!" The beautiful navigator said while Usopp just looked at her. Yeah, and based from my experience I am always right about it being traps. The young sniper said as the beautiful navigator looked at him and sighed.
That may be true, but we have no choice but to check it out. Nami said while Zoro looked at the two. Tsss… If you are scared you can stay here if you want. The green-haired swordsman said as he continued to walk towards the cave.
Usopp's eyes widened as he looked around and saw Sanji, Viola, Ace and Luffy walking inside the cave, "If you don't hurry you will be left here…" Nami added as she continued to walk while the long-nosed sniper realized that the rest of his nakamas are entering the large cave.
"Tsss… I really have a bad feeling about this." The young sniper said faintly as he sighed, "Oi! Wait for me!" Usopp added as he ran towards the cave following his nakama.
Inside the cave, the group continued to walk following the dirt path leading them deeper inside the large cavern.
Shit… We are going deeper and deeper in this cave… Where is that dock? Zoro said as he looked in front and saw Ace and Nami leading the way.
Oi, come on guys… Can't you see? There's no dock here, let's go back! Usopp commented briefly as he looked around and saw nothing but a pitch black space.
EEEKKKKKK! Usopp said as he looked on his side and saw countless bones. Come on! This may be a trap! The young sniper added yet again, trying his best to convince his nakamas, however no one reacted.
This is hopeless. The young sniper thought as he heard a voice coming from the distance. "Can you hear that?" Usopp nervously said as he started to look around.
Hear what? Zoro commented as he stopped walking while Nami and Ace looked at Usopp who was looking around. "Wait… I hear something over there!" The young sniper said as Nami and Viola heard a voice.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHHHH! Cornelius Uggshire Tethaloca Enphyri XIII, Wheresh aresh you!
"What's that?" Usopp said as he looked in front of him and saw a faint and small aura in the distance. "I see something in front of us." The long-nosed sniper added as the remaining Strawhats looked at the area where the sniper is looking.
"What can you see?" The orange-haired beauty said as she looked at the long-nosed sniper who was looking ahead of him. "I see a small… EH?" The young sniper said as a young blonde haired kid wearing an oversized navy blue cloak who suddenly appeared in front of them.
"A boy?" Usopp and Nami said while the young kid looked at them with tears on his eyes. "Is thatsh you CUTE the eight?" The blonde-haired kid said as faintly as Franky's eyes widened when he saw the little boy.
It's the kid I saw on the city! The cyborg thought while the young boy suddenly sported a large smile on his face as he saw Franky. "KYAAAAAHHHHHH! Mr. TOY!" The blonde-haired kid yelled as the rest of the Strawhats looked at the shipwright.
"Do you know this boy Franky?" Nami said as the cyborg just nodded. "He is the boy I saw in the city with the man who was looking for that Angel god." Franky said as Ace looked at the little boy as his eyes widened.
"Bunny?" The raven-haired man said while the little kid looked at him and puffed his cheeks. "I founds you! Acesh!" The blonde-haired boy said as he started to grin at Ace.
"Shit! This is not good… Be careful guys… He might look like an innocent boy, but he is a member of the Akuma!" The raven-haired man said shocking his nakamas.
"EEEEHHHHH!" The long-nosed sniper said as he looked at the cute boy in front of them. "Don't tell me he is a member of the Akuma?" Usopp said while Nami and the others stared at the little boy who is looking at them earnestly.
Meanwhile on the entrance of the Demon gate where the Strawhats passed by earlier in the evening, the man named Kahn sat still as he held his left rib. "I guess my body really took a beating fighting with them." The cool-looking man said while the white haired maiden looked at him and raised her eyebrow.
"Well, you wouldn't have those bruises if you just let them pass stupid." The beautiful maiden named Lilith said as Kahn looked at her and chuckled. "That would be no fun if I didn't test them would it?" The cool-looking man said while the maiden just sighed.
"Guys and their test of strength and determination, what Rubbish... You already planned for them to pass, why not letting them go without testing them." The white-haired maiden said as the man with multi-colored hair just closed his eyes.
"I need to know if they have the drive to push forward, you know those on the upper palaces are psychos when it comes to battle… Even your sister changed a lot since that day." Kahn said briefly as Lilith looked at him and remained silent.
"Tsss. acting like you don't care on what's happening, don't play tricks on me Lily, it won't work." Kahn said as he reached out for a cigar while the white-haired maiden looked at him as she raised her eyebrows.
"Ughhh. I never said I don't care… It's just I warned them about this, yet they didn't believe me… And you still smoke after all this years?" The beautiful maiden said as the man with multi-colored hair looked at her and grinned. "Yeah. What's wrong with smoking?" The man named Kahn said while the woman named Lilith just rolled her eyes and crossed her hands.
"Nothing, it's just I can't stand the smell of cigarettes. It stinks…" The beautiful maiden said as she started to stare at the cigar of the cool-looking man with her aqua colored eyes as the cigarette immediately withered into nothing surprising the cool-looking man.
"Damn Lily! How could you do that? That was my last stick." The man named Kahn protested as the white haired beauty just smirked at him.
"Don't you know smoking kills dumbass? If you don't want to die ugly, you better stop; or would you like me to show you what will happen to you if you don't quit." The maiden with aqua-colored eyes said briefly as Kahn just sighed.
"I don't want to see the future, I'd rather live my life the way I wanted rather than obsessing on what will happen next, and isn't it if you let the person see their future that future will not happen." The man with multi-colored hair said as the white-haired beauty smiled.
"You haven't forgotten my ability?" The white-haired maiden said as Kahn just smirked at the maiden, "How could I forget the ability that can cause turmoil and greed to the entire world if known?" The multi-colored man said as he looked at the beautiful woman in front of him.
"The Zeffrea twins who was the said to have possessed dangerous devil fruit abilities that destroyed the whole nation of Lukeniela fifteen years ago." Kahn briefly said as the white-haired girl just bit her lower lip as she remembered the incident which took place in their hometown.
"I guess our sin cannot be erased, even by time." Lilith faintly said as the man with multi-colored hair looked at her never noticing the man whom walked towards the two beings.
"Guess I was late to see the spectacle of the Strawhats and Kahn fighting, eh?" A low toned voice said as the two individuals looked at their side and was surprised to see a man walking towards them. "No way… You're still alive?" Kahn said as his eyes widened seeing the person who slowly appeared from the shadows.
