Chapter 447 - Hell of a Show

"Now it's your turn…" Eddie rose his scythe and pointed it towards Knave, who stood to his feet from above the Auditorium, having bee spectating the entire debacle. 

"That was truly heart touching. I must admit" He spoke with a clear lace of sarcasm, butting a hand to his chest. "Pathetic. Those monsters deserve your sympathy. They made their way into the Bleak stretch and simply went through the cycle of life in this stretch of sea." 

"Kill or Be Killed. And their weakness clearly got them killed. By you from the sounds of it. Twice now." He pointed the Spear at Eddie 

"Oh I'm gonna enjoy this." Eddie forwent his Scythe and pulled out his guitar. "You want entertainment so bad. How bout I put a show on for you that you'll never forget!" 

Thrum! He plucked the guitar sending a shock wave forward! Causing the entire Auditorium to shake as he began "It won't sound as good without the others. But it'll send your ass flyin'!"

The quick riff from the Guitar was melodic, each pluck causing the ground to shake as he leapt up into the air and continued to play! 

His fingers quickly dashed across the chords as he went through all six repetitions of the first melody quickly moving onto to the second phase

At the end of the A, the cord pluck sent a bolt of lightning as he soared down with knees bent as if he were sliding through the air! "Soul Chord!" 

Tham! The Electric bolt slammed into Knave! Sending him crashing through the top of the auditorium. Guitar continues to play. Shockwave after shockwave pushed knave deeper and deeper into the ground. Cratering the stage and sending dust flying through the air as he did!

'I don't know how much longer my armor can keep up! Haki won't be able to protect me from long! These vibrations are by passing the external armor and I can feel my internal organs shaking like their in a tumbler!' 

Strong individuals have stronger and strengthened internal organs by virtue of their muscles getting stronger. Like how a babies organs grow, so do fighters. Though they are never as strong as the outside muscle layer.

Eddies head flew back, mouth agape as his fingers, nay his very soul plucked away at the strings. Releasing all the pent up emotions of the events that had just taken place! He began to skip parts of the melody. Knowing just where to go as to force his fingers to play as hard as they could!

Knave, as if he were continuously being struck with punches to keep him down. Began to slowly stand to his feet. His spear shifting to black as he coarsed a power through it. He was no Devil Fruit user. Though his armor was imbued with sap and allowed him to continuously build up speed the more he moved, he was unable to build up and momentum whats so ever!

Eddies hands were a blur of motion as they strummed against the guitar with such fervor, such vigor that it was almost as if his skeletal body began to sweat. Perhaps it was an illusion, or perhaps by the very virtue of his soul singing, that it began to produce water as it did tears to coat the mans undead body 

"Jacks Hammer!" Knave drew back his spear and thrust his forward in a flurry of attacks! Eddie's eyes were closed, a look of concentration on his face as he could see the outline of the man's soul on two layers. Head quickly bobbing back and forth

"Soul Slayer! Encore!" Eddie screamed as he through his head back in almost ecstasy, a look of concentration, melancholy, and pleasure all mixed in one. His eyes shut tightly as the ground beneath him began to both rapidly heat and cool. Ice forming into shards before bursting into steam! Lighting bursting out around him as that glow of blue aura radiated in a cloud around him!

Every strum of the Axe caused a pulse of soul energy to erupt outwards. Thin ribbons of ectoplasm flying through and seeming to wrap around Knave as the wave of vibrations grew with each pluck! His very armor began to crack. He could do nothing but raise his arms and cross them in a guard! Eyes shooting to his spear! Watching as it began to crack and shatter to pieces! 

His vision grew hazy as he couldn't help but focus on the figure in front of him! Everything around him seemed to fade to black as the elemental energy spewed forth! Feeling his very soul be tangled and mangled with by the Skeleton

Wham! His guard was broken! His helmet and chest plate shattering to reveal the muscular physique beneath, long black hair flowing down his neck as one of his eyes was missing with a large gouge taken out.

The final strums of the song grew to a final gigantic cacophony of noise as the shockwave was enough that it not only began to cause Knave to be sent skidding backward, deep trenches forming from his feet!

Thum Thum Thum! He couldn't handle it anymore! His body was failing him! He could force his muscles to continue grounding him self as the final strings were plucked giant downward power chord! 

"Grah!' Knave released from his throat as the final shockwave lifted him from his feet! The entire auditorium suddenly exploded! The entire surroundings bursting into giant chunks of rubble as dust and debris filled the air! Knave sent flying up into the air and into the Horizon! 

Eddies hands finally came off of the black glossy material. His fingers steaming from the intense play, his entire body seemed to be covered in both frost and steam. 

Small bolts of lightning sparking from his guitar. Finally releasing a breath of release… 

A small cloud of cold air was all that left his skull while he reopened his eyes to gaze upon the destruction he'd caused. 

"Haff…Haff…Ha–" He breathed heavily. Head falling forward while one limp hand kept hold of the guitars neck 

All of that. Had caused Knaves' very soul to be sent from his body. His limp body crashing somewhere a couple kilometers away. 

"Now that's what I call a hell of a show…"
