On a certain mountain pass, a group of slavers was not having a nice time. After some of them had escaped that demon-like brat they were faced with they now were doing their level best to reach the relay point. It would only be there that they would be able to get some much needed reinforcement if they wanted to prevail over all of this situation.
They moved as quickly as possible, not knowing that in a not so far away place someone was following them.
Law was moving silently, using his Moon Devil Slayer magic to avoid detection as much as possible in the process. Moon Slayer magic we most diverse of his three current types of magic.
It can help him control water (he can't create it, but he can control it), control ice (the same as water, but he can generate cold), darkness, moonlight, and illusions using this power. He simply cast a simple enough visual illusion over himself, making himself invisible to the naked eye.
Of course, he could still be heard perfectly well, but that was of somewhat minor concern since the enemies seemed just too eager to move and were not paying enough attention around themselves.
Law smiled inside, this was just like what he heard from some of the other members of the Guild, when you let enemies escape they are more likely to move to either their hide-out or to their reinforcements. Thinking so Law decided to let some of them 'escape' to see what they would do. He had been following them for a little while now and it was only now that they seemed to be getting closer according to the comments he could hear.
After another half an hour they got to the coast at the sea. Law's face contorted into an ugly expression at seeing the many people there. There were at least 60 slavers but there ought to be at the very least 200 people in small cells, most of the kids no less.
Seeing their haunted expressions made Law's face grow all the fiercer, the dark emotions associated with using Devil Slayer magic surging forward from this. He could almost hear sweat words demanding him to go ahead and slaughter everyone, almost as if a lullaby of carnage demanding him to move and kill all those who he considers enemies.
In a moment of clarity, Law changed from Devil Slayer magic to Sun God Slayer magic. The divine power cutting off the influence of the devil attribute and him returning to his more regular personality.
Thinking about what had just happened and how he almost went ahead and started a slaughter without thinking on the safety of those in chains made Law really sigh inside. He had learned a lot over the years with his three types of power and he found out that his powers had some nasty consequences for him.
When he uses one type for too long that type of magic starts to influence him, and the longer he uses it the more pronounced this influence becomes.
If he uses Dragon Slayer too much he becomes more wild and unpredictable, following his instincts more than anything else really. If he uses Devil Slayer his more darker thoughts come out and his darker desires come to the forefront, his inhibitions become lower as well. And as for when he uses God, well, he becomes a tad bit too prideful and full of himself.
But, right now, he felt it was better to try and first damper his darker instincts.
"Heehh, so you guys failed that badly? Wow, it must truly suck to be you guys." A more frivolous voice spoke and Law looked to see who had just spoken.
It was a scrawny teenager of about 16, he has curly blue hair that looks like seaweed and gray-blue eyes. He was wearing ridiculously pompous clothing and was acting as if he was the best thing on the face of the planet.
Instantly, Law's God side felt a dislike for him. As if a predator who sensed someone trying to intrude where he does not belong. A vermin that was trying to act as prideful as a God instead of learning his place.
Scowling to himself Law had to hold himself back even more. This personality problem of his happened depending on time using a type of magic and the stimuli around him. If he were to be using Devil Slayer magic for hours but have nothing that makes him want to destroy then he won't even feel the influence, but if he was to just start using it and someone were to, for instance, hurt a friend of his or do something he considers unforgivable then he would instantly go into a rage.
It was a difficult position of his, but the more he masters his powers the more he can control this.
… Probably.
After having managed to fully calm his pride down Law looked out and saw that the slaves were being pulled to the ship, the seaweed haired guy was actually reading a book with a look of clearly fake interest in it and Law saw that he did not have much time if he intended to interfere with this.
Deciding on a plan of action that was honestly crazy Law went into action, raising his mouth upwards he started eating.
At the start, nothing was happening, but as he continued to eat the air around the area started to change.
The slavers looked confused as the day started becoming darker and darker, in just a minute it went from a sunny day to what was equivalent to midnight on a moonless night. No one could see at all, but Law still could move, and most importantly, he had a lot of extra energy.
As a Sun God Slayer, one of his skills was eating the sunlight, and that is exactly what he did, turning the day into night just like that.
He knew he could try and sneak up now, but he had a more interesting idea.
Now that he has so much energy from eating Sunlight, he would use it directly.
Stepping out in the open he put his hands together, a magic circle light appeared and he spoke.
"Sun God's Flash!"
As he said that a blinding flash of light came out of him, making all of those plunged in this temporary fake night be completely blinded, their eyes burning. Law smirked seeing all these slavers being blinded for a good while and moved ahead.
While growing up with little magic energy he practiced all forms of magic he could that demanded little energy to use. He was not overly proficient in any of them but some he was quite decent, specifically the body reinforcement magic. Using this he improved his body to its limits and reached the slavers as the light of the day was returning but while the slavers remained blinded.
Concentrating Sun energy in his fist he moved, punching each and every slaver he found on his path as he cleaved his way through them all, incapacitating all of them and while he did not kill any he did seriously burn them all.
As he was about to reach the final one a magic circle appeared before him. The final one, the one with seaweed-like hair, had regained his vision and was attacking without proper aim.
Law would look down on this, being perfectly able to avoid those attacks, but just as he was about to do this he saw how those attacks would hit those civilians that were captured.
Not wanting to see this Law stacked as much reinforcement on himself as he could as he activated another magic of his.
"Sun God's Respect." As he did so he changed the gravitational flow of things close to him in his direction, making the erratic attacks change directions and hit him.
The enemy looked baffled before laughing.
"I thought I was gonna miss, but with a genius as great as mine how could I possibly miss so easily? The greatness of me, Shinji, really cannot be underestimated. I am the best!"
"The best? Who decided that?" Law's voice rang out, causing Shinji to freeze as Law moved forward, his body surrounded by solar flames. Before impact, he covered his body with these flames to weaken the powers of the magic attacks that were being pulled to him and with his body reinforced the damage he took was actually quite small, just scratches and he would get worse from spars with some of the guild members.
Stepping forward, Law's very presence seemed to magnify in front of Shinji's eyes, an effect of his Sun God Slayer Magic, making the young piece of shit feel small in front of Law. When Law got close enough to Shinji he touched one hand on his face and heat it up just a bit.
"How about this, you tell me all about your little operation here and I don't do this-" he aimed his other hand to the ground and released a blast of solar energy, burning the ground and creating a hole in it. "Over your face. And, just so you know, you try anything and I can end you that quickly. Now, speak worm. This great one allows it."
... Perhaps he was using his magic a bit too much, he may or may not need time to cool off and soon.
AN:
A colleague mentioned that, with Law being so strong, he must have some flaws. Well, one of them is this, his personality can change and become extreme depending on how much and how long it is using it as well as what is happening around him.
