It was deathly silent as we entered the Diyu islands zone. There was nothing but dark clouds and the dark deep ocean. The eerieness of it made my instincts scream at me to run away from here. Every since we got closer to the island I felt deaths grip on my throat making it hard for me to breathe.
It's been a week since we left marineford and since then we have been used as slaves by doing jobs around the massive ship. We did everything, Polish the amorury, help in the kitchen, clean the ships decks and many other things. I thought that by becoming Hawks student we will be training under him but all we have been doing is cleaning and helping around the ship.
Cigar said' your not freeloaders. Do you thinking you will lazy around for a whole week. Get to work now!' It's what Cigar said. We all did different stuff like right now I'm in the kitchen helping out. Even if I was screamed at by the chef multiple times I did very well. But that is what I did for the whole week, Also I tried to learn tekkai which geroge kindly lent it to me, I have deeper understanding of the technique as it only requires you to harden your muscles. It's what I would like to say but it's more than that it takes concentration and supreme focus to be able to focus each muscle individually.
But that's not all the person must have strong body already, all of this will make your muscles hard as iron but you can only use this when your immobile which is shit because I wanted to use the tekkai technique in conjuction with my devil fruit which will unable me to sharpern or hardern my attacks.
The devil fruit can be strong only if I train with it everyday. I have been practicing on shaping and forming my slime into weapons and many different objects. I even turned my left arm into a long sword which was useless as it only flopped around even trying to strike something the slime bounced or did nothing.
There's clearly a weakness to this fruit. There's no physical impact or power to this devil fruit this fruits power lays In its utility. Like being able to absorb different elements and many other things, to test it geroge throw gasoline on me and lit me on fire which we did in secret without letting Cigar know or he kill us but my slime absorbed the fire and turned the colour into firery orange I didn't feel the heat.
Geroge touched my firery slime which made his skin burn which made him scream in agony, this revelation made me think about that my sister wrote in her pink booklet.
' The devil fruit can be highly reactive slime body to actually adapt and enhance with a near-infinite amount of chemicals and formulas such as sauces, drinks, or even natural elements, allowing them to take and replicate their properties as their own and utilize them in unique forms'
In one of those pages she mentioned that the devil fruit can absorb stuff. I tested it with metal swords which turned my slime body into silver and made it hard but the form only lasted for thirty seconds. The training I have been doing made me realise that I should focus on my observation haki, devil fruit rather than learning tekkai I will learn soru which was properly the better one I should learn.
Soru it's concept is simple you will have to kick off a thousand times of the ground to go at super human speed it will require powerful legs and body.
"Hey maggots get your asses here!" Screamed Cigar from across the top deck.
I quickly dashed towards him as did the others except the red haired one who walked slowly and leisurely. I watched the blond dude Eric and the green haired dude with glasses Yoto they looked passed and tired. They where complaining the whole week we where here as if they where nobles.
George stood next to me as did the big kind Paul who I found out was a son of a pirate.
" you dumasses have thirty minutes to pack your things. We will arrive at the island in a few hours" he said before leaving with a cigar in his mouth.
I walked towards my room and packed all the essential stuff like food and water. But most of all my massive sword berserk. I have come to love him as mine own child, he's my precious treasure that was sent from heaven.
I hrapped everything and went up towards the deck which was raining massive snows. I watched as the asteroid size snow was headed for the ship. I watched silently and peacefully as I slowly closed my eyes waiting for the impending doom. But before I could meet my end I hear a collision.
Bang
I opened my eyes instinctively and I saw Hawks assistant Duvet destroy the snow with her right fist which made me stand in my spot in shock in daze.
" loser, move out my way!" Said Eric as he pushed past me.
I wanted to retaliated but I felt Inpeace as I have survived another day in this hellish sea. But the feeling of doom and death got even stronger makimg it hard to breathe. I watched as we entered in a even dark space making it hard to see on the ship.
"Geroge are you here?" I said feeling concerned.
" I'm right here but this sea is giving me the creeps I have never encountered something like this before" he said a bit worried.
Soon at the top of the mast and nests a bright light shined on us and the sea. What I saw was scary the giant sea kings and island sized kings laying dead on the ocean.
" what the hell is this place, I have never heard of this kind of phenomenonal" said the petty black haired Aru confused and creeped out.
" but what's weird is that you cant see anything at the bottom, it gives me the creeps" said jam one of the grey haired twins right next to me.
I nodded my head in agreement. The place that we going to feels like the entrance to hell it's self, I can't imagine what kind of devil like creatures are crawling on that island. I was watching the deep dark bleak ocean as a black haired angel walked passed me with a bored expression.
After a while we all got used to the blackness of the ocean. For a few hours I trained soru in a empty space on the deck which I haven't seen any progress in my training as my body Is still weak to utilise the soru technique. I tried pumping the slime through my muscles and blood vessels which boosted my Base form but Cigar watched me perform the technique and said that by me pumping my vessels and muscles I will harm my heart and body to the point that it actually can explode.
So I have been restraining myself from using that until I'm ready to handle the burden or I'm in a serious danger. As I was training geroge joined Paul and the twins in a game of cards to pass the time, The others where minding there own business.
.
.
For two hours I trained soru before Cigar called all of us over. As I walked towards him I saw a light shining at a distance. I watched in confusion as for a few hours we where in the dark and in the distance there was a single light shining at something in the far distance.
"Kids in a ten minutes we will arrive at the island. I'm sure you will see the island soon as it is unmissable,kekeke" said Cigar making all of us confused.
Every one including me turned our eyes towards where the single sun light was and a silhouette soon appeared of a island. Or I thought it was, i stood there with the others and they all had a face of shock and fear even the black haired angel couldn't keep her self from showing a reaction.
The island was massive and I mean bigger than any giants I have heard of. The supposed island was made of hugmongous bones which stretched as far as my eyes could see nearly reaching the clouds. The length of the island was so massive makimg Hawks ship look like a small fishing boat. At the back of the 'island' their was a long piece of bone which looked like a massive tail reaching even beneath the ocean makimg me realise that it's even bigger.
As we enetered into the sun light which was shining only at the 'island'. As the silhouette of the 'island' was getting clearer it all started to make sense, this was not a island.
" it's a bloody giant dragon" said Jamie one of the twins.
All of our shock deepened even further, at the opposite side of the tail there was a massive head of dragons bone head. It was.. magnificent I could not beleve my eyes as to what I have witness there was a massive brillant sword in its rip cage which i ursumed that that is what killer it.
It was crazy! To think there was someone who could willed a massive sword like that and to kill a dragon which is suppose to be a island was otherworldly massive, the Skelton structure of the dragon was so massive that it made a island.
" now that's what i call a reaction, kekeke" said Cigar as he enjoyed our suprised faces.
" this can't be real?! This craturs should only live in the myths and what is with the size of it it's nearly big as a whole island or even bigger! I've never seen any thing bigger than a giant" Screamed Eric in shock and disbelief.
" beleve it"
We all looked at the voice that came from the top. Hawks was walking down towards us, I thought he might of died in there as he never came out of the captins room.
" that dragon was real it died eight hundred years ago. In stories this dragon was called island destroyer as its dragon breath only was able to wipe out a single island in a instant. It's stature was so big that when it flew over a island it would complete cover the sun" explained Hawks.
We where even more shocked and intrigued about the dragon. Who was able to kill this giant dragon. It must be that man who willed that giant sword, I looked at berserk and I thought that it was big sword but now I reliased there's something even bigger.
"But if it was so powerful, who was able to kill that dragon with that massive sword inbeded in its rib cage?" I asked curiously.
Hawks looked at me for a while before saying" no one knows what kind of creature or man was able to kill a mysthical dragon of this size but in history books we know od on being who held that power to kill a dragon... God's" said Hawks suddenly surprising us again.
To be contined.
