" E ... Enel ... "
" Reiner-sama ! "
Seeing the blonde regain consciousness, Moda crouched down next to him.
" Are you OK ? "
In response, Reiner just looked at the bodies of Mina and Marco on the ground, while they were completely charred. Honestly, the blond had no idea how their relationship could be described. However, seeing them like this, he felt anger.
Enel had blasted them just for fun.
"Enel..." he repeated.
At that moment, an explosion could be seen in the distance.
" Huh ? "
An explosion shook an area of the island, while a torrent of black flames tried to hit Smoker. Turning his body to smoke, Smoker passed through the flames, before appearing in front of Zancrow.
Growling, the mage made him aim his jitte at his face and quickly covered his fist with flames.
" FIRE GOD'S SCYTHE ! "
Feeling him hit his gun, Smoker was stopped. Seeing this, Zancrow puffed out his cheeks and spat out a fireball.
" FIRE GOD'S BELLOW ! "
Thrown back, Smoker turned to smoke again. But as his jitte recoiled with him, Zancrow's hand grabbed it.
"I'll take that." The blond assured, pulling the gun at him.
" WHITE LAUNCHER ! "
Breaking through the flames, Smoker's fist shot out at full speed, before slamming into Zancrow's stomach. Spitting saliva, Zancrow dropped the jitte, which was tossed into the air. Seeing this the two men looked up, before propelling themselves upwards.
" WHITE BLOW ! "
" FIRE'S GOD THRUSTER ! "
Immediately, Smoker thrust his arms towards his jitte, while Zancrow used his arms to propel the rest of his body. Faster than the mage, Smoker's hands were about to retrieve his jitte. Unfortunately, Zancrow spat out a jet of black flames that turned Smoker's arms into white smoke.
Then, with an evil smile, he grabbed the jitte.
" I got it. "
But already, the rest of Smoker's body shot up into the sky and appeared right in front of him.
" WHITE OUT ! "
A cloud of white smoke imprisoned Zancrow. But, keeping his smile, the blond let his body be enveloped in flames, before creating a black sphere around him, which dispersed the smoke.
"Grrrr!" Smoker growled, stepping back.
Suddenly, taking advantage that half of his body was still scattered in the sky, Zancrow rushed towards him, before hitting him in the face with the jitte.
Feeling the weapon create a wound in his forehead, Smoker fell down, before crashing to the ground. Not having finished with him, Zancrow created a sphere of black flames.
" FIRE'S GOD BELLOW ! "
Launched downward, the attack exploded as it slammed into the ground. Landing next, Zancrow smiled as he saw the many flames spreading through the trees, as the state of the area began to turn apocalyptic. Looking around, he tried to find Smoker's body.
"What? It's over already? Are you giving up?"
at that moment, a jet of smoke appeared behind and tried to hit the back of his skull. Unfortunately, Zancrow ducked in extremis to avoid the attack. Then, he let his body rotate before hitting the jet of smoke, with the jitte.
Immediately, the stricken spot turned into an arm, while a scream from Smoker could be heard. Then, the man's entire body appeared, as he held his injured arm.
"Now you have no chance of winning." Zancrow assured. "And when I'm done with you, I'll take care of Enel."
" SMOKER-SAN ! " Shouted Tashigi.
Having backed away from the flames created by Zancrow, she and Lucy saw the white-haired men in trouble.
"Gotta give him his jitte back." Lucy asserted, grabbing her keys. " Help me. "
"What?" Tashigi wondered. "Why would you help us?"
" Zancrow is an evil wizard who only wants to create evil around him. " Affirmed Lucy. "There's no way I'm letting him kill Smoker and try to colonize Skypiea."
"But... you're a pirate."
"I'm human." Lucy retorted. "And above all, I am a member of fairy tail."
" Fairy ... tail ? "
Suddenly, Smoker's body slammed into the trunk of a tree, as Zancrow approached him, as the jitte began to coat in Smoker's blood. Seeing this, Tashigi quickly made up her mind, before grabbing her sword.
"It's okay to make a temporary truce."
" Perfect !" Said Lucy. " In this case ... "
Suddenly, Tashigi spat blood. Flabbergasted, the two women looked down, to see five red claws piercing the lieutenant's body, while a demon had appeared behind her.
"Geez, killing the women of this island is way too easy." Ladydevimon remarked, removing her claws from Tashigi's body.
Unable to stay upright, the lieutenant's body eventually collapsed to the ground, leaving only Lucy to face the digimon.
"Who...Who are you?" the blonde questioned, stepping back.
At that moment, Ladydevimon found herself in front of her and began to sniff her. Immediately grimacing, she pinched her nose, before declaring.
"You stink like a fallen angel."
" Huh ? "
" Enel had warned me that there was a fallen angel in your crew! But her presence on you is very strong! It seems that you are very close! And that's good. "
Suddenly the tip of her arm turned into a spear and she pierced Lucy's shoulder.
"AHHHHHHHHHH!" the blonde cried, dropping to her knees.
"I will enjoy torturing you! And if that incompetent Pit is incapable of killing the fallen angel, I will present your corpse to her before I finish her off."
"P…Pit? What are you talking about?" Lucy questioned. "There's no reason for Raynare and Pit to fight each other."
"Idiot! It's in our nature to kill our enemies! You'll never see an angel become the ally of a fallen angel! For my part, I'm just waiting for Enel's permission to kill Pit. "
Simply growling, Lucy grabbed her keys, before beginning her summons.
" TAURUS ! "
Immediately, Ladydevimon spotted the cowman who flexed his muscles, before grabbing his axe.
"Oh? Looks like a Digimon."
Then, she licked her lips, while affirming.
"Let's see how long he can survive."
"ANYAHA! ANYAHA!" Shouted Ayoho, continuing to do his victory dance.
"Stop clowning around." Gin roared, running towards him.
Letting him approach him, Ayoho only smiled behind his mask, before presenting a dial, which was in his left hand.
" SUN DANCE ! "
A flash lit up the area and Gin found himself completely blinded.
" MY EYES ! "
Then running towards him, Ayoho elbowed Gin hard in the abdomen. Additionally, upon impact, a dial that was hooked to his elbow created a jet of flames that charred Gin's abdomen.
" FIRE DANCE ! "
"ARRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!" The man shouted, stepping back.
Still, managing to stay upright, Gin twirled his tonfa, before slamming it into his opponent's face. This time, Ayoho presented his right forearm and let the weapon hit the dial on it.
"WHAT?" Gin wondered, noticing that the dial had completely absorbed the power of his attack.
" SUN DANCE ! "
Again, Gin was blinded by the flash. Taking a step back, he put his arm in front of his eyes. Taking advantage, Ayoho found himself behind him and it was his right elbow that hit Gin's back. Screaming in pain, the pirate felt an electric current flow through his body, before falling to his knees.
Seeing this Ayoho stepped back before presenting his arms. Thus, he showed that he had a dial in each of the palms of his hands, two others on his forearms and two last on his elbows.
"AYAHA! AYAHA!" He shouted. "I have six dials! Flash! Gas! Impact! Axe! Lightning! Fire! With them, there's no way I can lose to you."
Then, seeing Gin trying to get up, he ran towards him, before smashing his right forearm in front of his face.
" IMPACT DANCE ! "
Immediately, Gin's head snapped back, as he coughed up blood. Seeing him fall to the ground, the shaman continued his victory dance.
"AYAHA! I told you! You had no chance against me."
"What? Is that all?"
Startled, the shaman saw Gin sit up, while displaying a smile. Feeling blood dripping out of his mouth, the man wiped it away with the back of his hand, still affirming.
"My attacks may be shabby, but my specialty is knowing how to take attacks! During my last fights, I was always hit an incessant number of times! But you, you're barely in my top 10! Sanji kicks more powerfully than your impacts."
Staring at him without saying anything, Ayoho stopped his victory dance, before getting into an attack position.
"I had no interest in killing you! But I see you really want to meet the realm of the gods."
Then, positioning his left forearm forward, he activated his axis-dial and created a sharp gust of wind. Ducking in extremis, Gin felt the attack go over his head, before hitting the trunk of a tree.
Then, Ayoho followed his attack, positioning his left elbow in front of him and creating a jet of flames.
" I've got you. "
Seeing the attack bearing down on him, Gin twirled one of his tonfas in front of him and used it as a shield. Hitting the weapon, the flames spread to the sides. Nevertheless, Ayoho insisted and continued to produce more flames, while waiting for the moment when Gin could no longer maintain the rotation of his weapon.
But as he attacked, the shandian was surprised to see the flames begin to surround the sphere of Gin's weapon. Now the rotation, Gin twirled the flaming ball of his tonfa and managed to create a real circle of fire.
"What the...?" Ayoho wondered.
Stopping his flamethrower, he positioned his right hand in front of him, as he was about to create gas.
"You're dead." He assured. "As soon as my gas hits your gun, the resulting explosion will kill you. GAS DAN ..."
Continuing to twirl his weapon, Gin suddenly finished with a gesture a powerful horizontal movement with his weapon. Immediately, all the flames that surrounded the end of his weapon flew towards Ayoho, while taking the form of a ball of fire.
"Huh?" The duo wondered.
Then, a moment later, the attack slammed into the shaman's hand, just as gas left his dial. it didn't take long for an explosion to take place. Feeling the gusts of wind sweep through his hair, Gin remained stoic, until he caught sight of Ayoho's silhouette.
The body completely burned, the Indian was still standing, despite the fact that he seemed ready to collapse at any moment. Seeing the victory almost achieved, Gin rushed towards him again.
However, still conscious, Ayoho thrust his right elbow forward, before creating lightning. Seeing him do so, Gin let go of one of his tonfas, before grabbing his opponent's elbow. Immediately, he cried out in pain, feeling himself stunned.
"Fool!" Ayoho shouted. "What do you think you're doing...?"
He suddenly fell silent, seeing Gin's remaining tonfa begin to spin.
"Your impact dial..." Gin began. "It's on the arm I'm holding."
" Huh ? "
Finally understanding the reason for his gesture, Ayoho tried to free his arm. However, Gin's strength held him back as he increased his weapon's spin.
"If you can't use your impact dial to withstand my attack, you lose."
" AXE DANCE ! "
His left forearm slammed into Gin's chest and the pirate immediately began coughing up blood as he felt a wound forming on his body. But at the same instant, he managed to crash into Ayoho's face, pulverizing his jaw.
Immediately, the two men began to back away, staring at each other. A hand on his abdomen wound, Gin felt his legs tremble as he pushed himself to his limit. Also, on the verge of collapse, the shaman felt blood flow from his forehead and begin to cover his eyes.
Beginning to see red, Ayoho found that his eyesight was rapidly deteriorating, until it was dark. Closing his eyes, he eventually loses consciousness, before collapsing to the ground.
Seeing this, Gin flopped onto his ass, grumbling.
"Once again, I'm unhappy with my performance! Nevertheless..."
Looking at his tonfa, he declared.
"But...what I managed to do...was a ranged attack."
Then looking at the Ayoho dials, he noticed.
"This guy...he may have given me the solution I was looking for."
at this moment, applause was heard. Turning his face, Gin spotted Suzuka, quietly sitting on the branch of a tree.
"I'm impressed." Affirmed the mercenary. "I would have bet you losing."
"Who are you?" Gin growled.
In response, Suzuka dropped to the ground, before lengthening the size of her fingernails.
" I let you guess. "
Looking around, the trio of archaeologists inspected the ruins of the temple which had been hidden under the clouds and had been much better preserved over the past 400 years.
" No one had fun destroying them. " Shinichi remarked.
Then, glancing at Robin, who was walking in front of him, he questioned her.
"Are you satisfied?"
" What are you talking about ? "
"Even if you had let that big fool destroy part of the ruins, nothing around us would have been destroyed! But if you had been killed by him, you would never have been able to discover that! How I said you, there are a million ways to study the past! But there is nothing that allows for resurrection."
Robin kept silent, and preferred not to start a discussion where the two parties will certainly not be able to obtain the slightest compromise.
Remaining silent, Vivi didn't know what to say. Then she was surprised to see Carue stop.
" Carue ? "
"QUA!" Cried her duck, looking ahead.
Around him, the trio saw a larger source of light, in front of them, showing the exit of the temple.
" We've reached the lower level. " Shinichi affirmed. "And the light coming through the clouds is enough to illuminate that area."
In response, Robin rushed outside and, stopping, saw a real city in front of her, which had not received the slightest visit for centuries.
"The city of Shandora." She affirmed.
"It's beautiful." Vivi affirmed, despite the fact that the building was half covered with vegetation. "
" But to see that, you have to be alive.. " Shinichi affirmed.
Ignoring her again, Robin left the temple and grabbed his notebook, before starting to inspect the walls of the city, looking for the slightest engraving.
"Thinking everything here is over 400 years old." Vivi asserted.
" No, everything is old here for over 800 years. " Robin retorted.
studying the walls and the shape of the buildings and trying to find links between the carvings on the walls and those found on the hearth island, she declared.
"Shandora...she is a city that ceased to have disappeared in the Void century."
"The Void Century?" Vivi wondered, her eyes widening.
For his part, remaining silent, Shinichi couldn't help but stare at Robin in surprise, while he was certain that Sengoku had told him that no one had any information about this mystery of this world's history. "
"The Void Century...it's the one that allowed the creation of the World Government." He thought. "Yet no one knows what happened, or why the ancestors of the Tenryubitos were considered heroes."
Staring at Robin who continued to stare at the city, he wondered.
"This woman...is she the person I'm looking for who can make a huge difference in this world?"
Leaving Robin to continue studying a building, Vivi got off Carue's back and walked a short distance. Then, looking around, she said.
"This place is much larger than the ruins up there! However, what we are looking for is not here either.."
Seeing only stones, she declared.
"There is no gold here."
"Do you really think gold is more important than these buildings?" Shinichi questioned.
" I especially know that Nami will be angry if we don't bring her the slightest nugget of gold. " Vivi affirmed, not wanting to be the one who would announce this bad news to her.
at that moment, he heard Robin's notebook fall to the floor.
"Huh?" they wondered, turning around.
Seeming to be shocked, Robin took a step back, while declaring.
" Impossible. "
Startled, Shinishi approached her and inspected the interior of the building she was staring at. In an instant, he saw a huge black cube embedded in a wall, which looked exactly like a picture he had seen in a book.
" Impossible. "
"Poneglyph?" Vivi wondered. "I thought...I thought most of them were confiscated by the World Government."
" No one would have thought to fetch this one here. " Shinichi retorted, walking towards the artifact.
Then, putting his hand on it, he saw the strange engravings, coming from a very ancient language.
" It's here. " He thought. " This place may be the one that can help me understand what happened in this world 800 years ago! But... how to decipher that? "
Suddenly, he was surprised to see Robin also put her hand on the wall of the black cube. But, he was even more so when he saw a tear running down her cheek.
" A problem ? "
Silent, Robin only thought back to her discussion with Cobra, when she was in the royal tomb of the Nefertari family. at that moment, hurt and tired of her new failure, she had declared that she wanted to die, thinking that nothing could help her to obtain an answer to her questions.
And yet... Yet... If she were dead... she wouldn't be here.
Then thinking of Shinichi's words, regarding the importance of her life, Robin finally wiped his eyes, while smiling again.
"Meitantei-san...maybe you were right."
" Huh ? "
Simply refocusing on the poneglyph, Robin assured.
"Apart from its creators, no one is able to read this ancient writing."
"Which is a good thing for the world government." Shinishi growled.
" Truth in heart, mouth shut ..."
Dumbfounded, Shinichi looked at Robin who seemed to read the old handwriting without any problem.
" We weave history, to the sound of the great bell. "
Pausing to read, Robin affirmed.
"Come to think of it, Norland's logbook mentioned a large golden bell that might be found here."
Seeming to be as surprised as Shinichi, Vivi asked.
"Miss AllSunday...do you really know how to read poneglyphs? So you can really know what happened in the Void Century! It's amazing! You really are amazing."
"That doesn't make sense." Shinichi retorted. "You can read the poneglyphs? How is that possible? Sengoku told me that..."
He immediately clapped his hands over his mouth. But it was too late.
"Sengoku?" The two girls wondered, staring at him. "The Navy's fleet Admiral ?"
Taking a step back, Shinichi tried to flee. Unfortunately, arms appeared around his body and immobilized him.
"Who are you?" asked Robin. "A Navy spy?"
"No...listen...I...I'm an immigrant."
"Huh?" Vivi wondered.
"You met Pit, didn't you?" the boy asked. "I'm like him! I'm from another world! It's just a coincidence that Sengoku was the first person I met here! All I want is to just go home."
"Nevertheless, to boost Sengoku's confidence, you're bound to tell him about this place." Robin suggested.
"No, not at all! On the contrary! I am like you! I want to know the secrets of Void Century."
"Why ? "
"Because...because the justice of this world is not like mine." Shinichi affirmed.
Surprised, Robin eased the pressure a little, before asking.
" What do you mean ? "
"It is obvious that our worlds are different! But I am not talking about all that is related to your powers or your strange islands! I am talking about the political and judicial level! It is true that corruption is often present in my world but...it's worse here! Just the presence of the Tenryubitos and knowing that they're all doing whatever they want...it makes me want to vomit."
"But...why would you want to know about the Void Century?" Vivi asked. "It was precisely this event that enabled their ancestors to become heroes."
"That's exactly why I want to learn more! Isn't it strange? Their ancestors are heroes and yet the Tenryubitos do what they can to prevent anyone from knowing what happened during this forgotten century! It's like...it's like they're trying to hide an inconvenient truth."
Doing nothing to struggle, he stared at the poneglyph, declaring.
"Something happened during this event! Something the government of this planet is trying to hide! And I'm sure these cubes are the answer to my questions."
Staring at Robin, he asked her.
"If you've seen more...can you tell me everything you know? Can you tell me what happened during that time?"
Robin remained silent. However, uncrossing her arms, she released Shinichi. Nevertheless, she quickly turned away from him.
"Void Century...I've dedicated my entire life to knowing what it is! Even if I knew its every secret, do you really think I'd share it with the first stranger I came across."
Barely glancing at the boy, she affirmed.
"To know these secrets, you must know how to sacrifice your life, while protecting its poneglyphs! For, just like you and me, if they disappear, the past that we want to know will be lost forever."
Startled, Shinichi saw her leave. Wanting answers to her questions as well, Vivi followed her.
"Miss All Sunday, just...you don't have to answer me but...do you know the secrets of Void Century?"
Simply arriving at the ancient lost city, Robin affirmed.
"All I can say is...that cities have disappeared in this century...including this one. And also, that the government is hiding a secret, and they will do anything to prevent anyone from to know. "
Hearing this, Vivi couldn't help but be completely amazed by what she was hearing. During her life in Alabasta, she had sometimes heard of the Void Century, while she had always learned that it was during this period that the world government appeared. However, now that she heard the duo speak, she understood that the story being told across the world might not be complete.
