'This sword was wielded by Zoro's childhood friend Saga, But he wouldn't have gotten it this early. Now let's see if that Haki training was of any use'

With a thought, Raizel engulfed a large chunk of the Asuka Island in his Observation haki.

This sword was just too overpowered to let it sit here. Raizel wasn't just about to give up on these exploits just because it gave him an unfair advantage over other people, no, on the contrary, he was all about the unfair advantages.

He had already decided to take advantage of every possible thing from his memory and this sword will be the start.

Raizel made sure to walk in the shadows as silently as possible, as he didn't want to put a beacon on his head.

Marineford had to put a lot of effort to suppress the news about him till he finished his assignment and he wasn't about to just blow that up. Call him a narcissist, But he knew that an appearance like his would get noticed pretty quickly and could alert someone from Dressrosa.

Making sure he was hidden, he very skillfully explored the entire village, and after completely searching the forest at the outskirts of the village, he finally found what he was looking for.

He followed a rumour from the village which told him that from time to time, the animals at the west side of the Island would go insane and attack everything they see.

Even neutral herbivores would start killing and eating other animals, and that was a major concern of the Village.

'Well Lucky for them, I am taking their curse with them.'

Standing in front of a lake, which was dazzling with green light, Raizel located his target at the bottom of the lake.

A very beautiful sword with seven flame-like stars on its body, burning with a magnificent green flame even underwater. This was it.

'Let's do this.'

Raizel walked inside the lake with caution and he surprisingly found the water cold, as well as the flame very welcoming.

'This must be how this sword lures its wielder.'

Again, with caution, Raizel approached the sword, and when he was sure that the fire wouldn't burn him, he held the sword hilt with his left hand and pulled it out.

Darkness….That was all what he saw.

The sword was trying to corrupt Raizel's mind while sending him the knowledge of its own version of Ittoryu, and Raizel, was accepting everything.

Some perks of eating a Mind-Mind fruit would be that you are immune to most psychological attacks, and can even control them.

However, Raizel wasn't battling with the sword to preserve his sanity, but he was just accepting everything, separating the corrupting whispers and darkness from the knowledge of Swordsmanship, and storing the darkness in a separate place in his Memory Palace.

If it was someone else, they would've gone insane by now but Raizel, He was different.

It was as if he was a blackhole and he was just engulfing everything that the Seven Star Sword was sending him.

'This Sword Technique is phenomenal...Not only my Swordsmanship has improved by leaps and bounds, I have also acquired this green fire.'

All the darkness which the sword flung at Raizel was stored inside of his memory palace, waiting to be researched and used on other people.

'What is this….? It's like a soul….Nudging me, trying to talk to me...Is it the consciousness of this sword?'

Within the darkness which Raizel stored in his memory palace, he could sense a signal...a message coming towards him, pleading him to let it loose, but Raizel very violently struck it.

Without any mercy, he completely crushed that intent which surprisingly etched his own soul imprint on the sword.

'Well, This was unexpected. But I don't have time to check it right now. Let's get out of here'

Every tourist ever, coming to Dressrosa would comment on how beautiful the Country is.

People are happy under the Donquixote family rule, the underworld is afraid to set up their shops here, and all in all, It was a thriving country.

But what they couldn't see was that this was just a projection.

You can't keep everyone happy at the same time. Even if the ruler is the second coming of God, there will still be people who will be unsatisfied with it. And so, Doflamingo knew what he had to do.

He deployed Suger, an orphan he found and nurtured to be a very important weapon in maintaining the image of Dressrosa and keeping peace in the country.

Anyone who spoke ill of or against the Donquixote family would suddenly disappear, not only from the land but form people's memories too.

This frightening ability had to be protected at all cost and hence, Sugar was protected by Trebol, and a legion of Donquixote armed forces.

.

.

Raizel only had Twenty more days to finish his assignment and he had just reached Dressrosa, avoiding the Donquixote family patrols, and reached his destination, the CP9's temporary Base of Operation.

In the days he took to reach Dressrosa, Raizel had studied his sword and found some very interesting things.

He can control the Green Flame without even taking his sword out, If his sword is taken away from him, or he leaves it somewhere, He can very easily summon it back using its soul imprint.

'I still don't understand the whole thing related to souls, I might need to do some research on that too, But that would require a lot of People….DEAD people.'

"So you are the Assassin Headquarters has sent. I'll have to say that you seem very capable. Not as handsome as me though...ahahaha" Laughed Spandam while greeting Raizel.

"Sir! This is a great Honour! I am a colossal fan of Sir Spandine, and I am really happy to finally work under you. In all my assassination assignments over the years, I always wanted to work under the Son of the great Spandine and now I am over the moon! My wish has finally come true!"

Raizel buttered up Sapndam real good, so that he won't be much of a problem during the assignment.

And because Raziel's information was kept confidential from even Spandam, throwing lies like "I am an expert assassin under the direct rule of Fleet Admiral" was not a problem at all.

"Now, Raizel my boy, who is it that the Headquarters need dead? If they have sent such a high profile Killer, surely they aren't planning to kill Doflamingo? Hahahahaha…"

"No, Sir Spandam. I am just here to kill a smuggler from Pablo family. He is smuggling TEN LOGIA devil fruits and the Fleet Admiral wants to contain it before they reach criminals. Just imagine Sir, suddenly we have Ten Logia type Pirates, It will be chaos.

"You are right! I had no idea. No wonder I was the only one they trusted to help you. So, when do you plan on doing it?"

"As soon as you provide me with the maps and blueprints I need, I will get to it."

'Oh, I have already taken care of it!"

.

.

.

After three more days, Raizel was done with his planning. The fact that Spandam was the only one apart from Aokiji, Garp, Sengoku and him to know about this assignment made him a major liability, considering his eccentric nature of blabbering nonsense all day every day.

So, for this plan to work, he had to go. And what better way, than using him to complete his assignment?

"Come Spandam Sir, I will complete my mission tomorrow, so why not we enjoy ourselves tonight at the Bar with some maidens, If you catch my Drift?" Said Raizel as he tied his silvery hair in a bun, put black shades that hid his red pupils and put a heavy reddish-black makeup to disguise his appearance.

Spandam, on the other hand, didn't get any disguise as he would be out of the island tonight so that he won't personally get involved in Raizel's assassination tomorrow.

"That's a great idea! Let's go!"

After wearing a top hat which hid Raizel's silver head, he exited their hideout with an excited Spandam and went towards the most luxurious Casino Bar.

'It took a long time to finally set a hypnotic gesture in his head, Damm he is strong.' thought Raizel as he saw Spandam grab a stripper's ass.

Raziel spent every ounce of his mental prowess to just set a very small hypnotic gesture in Spandam's head.

Now Spandam was not under Raizel's control, obviously, but Raizel could still throw some words at his mind while he speaks to control what actually comes out of his mouth.

'Now let's get it done.'

With a thought, Raizel let loose a little bit of the corruption near the stripper whose ass Spandam had grabbed and Viola, she suddenly slapped him.

"What the fuck you crazy bitch! Do you know Who the fuck I am!? I am the fucking HEAD of Cypher Pole's ninth division. I will have your head on the pole you are dancing on." screamed Spandam, in a bar filled with the Donquixote family bosses and henchmen.

'R.I.P'

Raizel again corrupted a goon which was nearest to Spandam and he suddenly attacked him. But now that Spandam was high on adrenaline, thinking why would he say something so stupid like that, risking the Headquarter's top-secret assignment, his senses were quick to notice that he was being attacked.

Now even though Spandam had announced his title, and many had actually recognised him, no one had the courage to even lift a finger on him, because if anything happens to him, It will be a war. A Losing war against the enraged dignity of the Marines.

Everyone had this knowledge but when they saw that one of their own is suddenly attacking the head of CP9, they Panicked.

"Someone rush to the castle and report the situation to Lord Doflamingo! Fast! And stop this retard!"

And, there was chaos.

Spandam reacted and counterattacked, but before his counterattack could reach the goon, Raizel sent a very heavy mental attack, making the goon braindead, losing all his defence before he was struck by Spandam's hidden blade to the forehead.

Within minutes, everyone was trying to attack Spandam under Raizel's corruption while the ones who were just arriving were trying to stop them.

A large amount of the Dressrosa's army was mobilized and sent to the location when suddenly, a piece of news reached the Donquixote castle, that Spandam died.

'An Admiral Level Officer from the Marines was killed by my own people on my own island…..Is this supposed to be a joke? First of all which genius had the courage to do so, and second of all, who the fuck had the power to do so!?" Said Doflamingo in a passive-aggressive tone in the Den Den Mushi.

This was a problem! A huge problem, considering there was a Warlord Program about to start and he wanted to apply in it as the captain of the Donquixote Pirates, but considering this incident….

"I need to go their personally!"

Doflamingo rushed out of the castle, and along went his commanders.

Three days later in Fleet Admiral Sengoku's office, Marineford.

"I have completed the assignment, Sir."

A warm hug to Arya970, MisterJA, TheOnlyKing, Kevin J Rosario Cruz, DarkEnthusiast, Lord Asmodeus and everyone else whose reviews and PMs motivated me to write another chapter.

Stay home and stay safe.

I would like to address couple of reviews here.

Hannibal was a cool villain who ate human flesh.

A big paragraph of "clinical" test was not required in the reviews. This is a fanfic, This is wish fulfillment, there are no Evil one piece novels, and so I write my own. But I have come to appreciate it nonetheless, considering how much time must've gone in writing so much.

Evil according to me is

Evil = Degenerate, Vile, Apathetic, Manipulative

and not

Evil =/= Anti-Hero, selective misdeeds, limited by morals and bottom-line while claiming to be worse than demon.

...

anyways, I made a patre0n...I know, I know it is too Overestimating but here it is

patre0n com Lumpish_Haggard

bye.
