Teeth like small daggers. Horns that came from his forehead and curved like that of a rams or goats. Talons grew from his fingertips, digging trenches into the ground. His skin was darkened to an off red tinge. Eyes formed into slits with red irises. His body was like a tight bundle of muscle like his muscles were rippling at the edge of his skin. Lean and Lithe.
A breath of cool air left his lips as a pair of wings flapped on his back. Veins coursing through the thin flesh. They were like those of a bat. A tail with flicking away dust with its sharp spade like point.
He was. A Devil.
"Is that…Leroy?" Kirk asked with a hint of trepidation. All of the crew looked to their captain as steam rose from his body. He was mixing a hint of Gear 3rd and 2nd in one on top of the new transformation
"Yeah…Yeah it is…" Kale said
"Devil Man…" Leroy clenched his fist open and closed. "Yeah. I like the sound of that…"
Barbary could sense that Leroys power had drastically increased multiple fold. If he was at a 10 before he was at least at 100. If not more.
"Red Sash!" Koru called "You've got 3 minutes!"
Leroy spoke back almost in a roar "Three is all I need!" His hands cracked the ground as he stood to his feet, barbary releasing a roar of laughter! "Barhahah! Come then! Lets see if you can handle me!"
The ground shattered. Leroy disappearing! He was fast! Far faster than his Gear Second speed as he leap up in front of Barbary! "Gomu Gomu no…Hyper Demon Shot!" His fist clawed shot forward and impaled into the cheek of barbary!
The impact was harsh enough that it actually caused Barbary to properly stumble and stagger as his eyes rattled, blood oozing from his wound on the side of his visage.
"Damnedable Punk!" He raised hand up!
KE= 1/2 m v2
Manipulating the kinetic energy his fist held he slammed the strike into the form of Leroy! He was much taller in this form. At least 3 times so. The strike released a mighty boom as blood spewed from the captains face!
"Gum Gum Tail Lasso!" He said as his tail stretched and wrapped around Barbary's massive forearm and was pulled away.
Barbary…Barbay. The Royal Marshal whose sole purpose of becoming a Marshal was to become wealthy in industry. Hornigold came close. But he was concerned with company and Organization. De Leon…Well. He was De Leon
Barbary However. He was wanting to surpass Hornigolds Organization, acquiring company after company, and acquiring so much wealth that he knew that no matter his strength he would need to be relied on by the other strong pirates of those around the seas
He'd grown up on an Island that was cold and filled with steppes. His people were nomadic. But also Militaristic. Constantly in war between other tribes, nations, or nomadic camps. It forced him to become strong
Rely on strength
But on that path he realized the power that came with Wealth. How it could garner as much Power as he wanted. Wealth was the thing that Roger accumulated. That alone was affirmation for Barbary that his goal was enough
He remembered how the gallows looked. The large scaffold that the Pirate King was hoisted up too. The two soldiers on either side as Jack and Rex were standing there.
He looked…Pathetic too Barbary. How could a man whose ventures of Wealth accumulation now be so. Gaunt? Too hollow. As if his hair was thin and his cheeks bleak
"You want my Treasure! Go find it! I left all I've acquired there!" Those were the word he heard the Pirate King said. Everyone heard something different. Rather that was because of the echo the kings voice had or simply that their minds wished he to say something different.
It affirmed their own biases.
It wasn't until years later that he became a Marshal. He had Caldera, and Sir by his side. Quickly annexing other crews in hostile takeovers. Paying them for their strength. That was all he wanted. Not control. But Power. Power through Money.
Money. Money. Money.
That was all that mattered to Barbary. More than it mattered to the golden king, or the Laughing Lion.
"Grahh!!!" Barbary yelled "Universal Ruler!" Equations flashed in front of him as he began to manipulate his biochemistry to boost his strength and flood with endorphins through his blood.
ϕ = 1 + (1/ϕ)
His fist began to spiral and rotate as he slammed forward! "Shining Rotation!" He had applied the very concept of the golden spiral, the Golden Ratio to his fist and caused it to spin at extreme speeds to drill into Leroy!
"Gum Gum! Demon Hyper Javelin!" His fist spiraled taut and sped forward! His claw drilling and crashing into the Knuckles of Barbary! Blood erupting as he stumbled back, hand torn to shreds.
"Haff…Haff…haff!" Both breathed hard as Leroy wings flapped and soared him back towards Barbary! Soaring over his fist that flew in a hook! 'He's not applying formulas…Seems like that Energy pool is all spent up and is being focused on keeping shape!' Leroy thought to himself!
"Gomu Gomu no! Hyper Demon Mortar!" He raised his leg up, wings flapping in front of him to slow him down as his clawed limb flew down and clawed into Barbary's face!
Another Fist! Slammed into Leroy with a mighty strike! Knocking him through the air! His wings steadying himself as he kicked off the air and flew forward!
"Gum Gum! Hyper Colossal Demonic Volley!" He slammed a fist forward! Claws stabbing and Impacting! Then another then another and then in a barrage of one thousand punches that were thrown in quarter of a second–
Enormous amounts of wind and explosions of air cracked and broke around the two as stab wounds formed across barbary's body! Screams reverberating from both as they both began to shrink back to their original heights!
A fountain of blood erupted from Barbary as he fell backwards! Slamming and cratering the ground again!
In one last move, Leroy shot into the air, wings detaching and shedding from his body as he aimed above Barbary's body! Covered in cuts and blood!
"Grahh!!! Gum Gum! Point Shot!" He fist shot forward! Extending down the 20 meters and slammed into Barbary's face!
