33 Chapter 33

[1 week later]

I'm sitting in a bar when someone came and sat next to me. He sneakily put a note in my pocket and left after a drink.

I stayed there for another half an hour before I left.

I went to my hotel, and after making sure no one was spying on me, I read the note.

[The money is ready.]

'Finally.'

I grabbed my Den Den Mushi and called Sabo.

"Yo bro, we're having a party tonight. Do you want to come?"

"Where is this party?"

"At the bar where we always go to."

"Sure, at what time?"

"9 pm."

"Alright, I'll see you there then."

"Oh, and can you ask the others if they want to come?"

"Yeah, sure. See ya later."

"Bye."

I hang up.

'Alright, I'll need to get ready.'

[6 hours later]

My crew and I are all standing in front of a cave.

"Are you sure that they are here?"

"Yes." said Robert

"Good. Do it, Laffitte."

Laffitte walked forward and took a small ball out of his pocket. He used a lighter to light it and threw it inside the cave.

*POOF*

A lot of smoke came out of the ball.

*COUGH*

Crocodile and his people came running out of the cave.

"Sup."

He glared at me.

"Weren't you going to a party?"

"Hahaha, we're at your farewell party."

"Tsk."

He put his arm into the sand.

"Quicksand! Multiple Sand Tornado!"

The sand under us turned into quicksand, and multiple sand tornadoes came at us from multiple directions.

He smirked.

"Flame Wall!" screamed Ace

A huge flame wall appeared around us, successfully stopping the tornadoes, and he used another flame attack to turn the quicksand into glass.

"Ace, you take care of Mr. 1 (The guy who can turn any part of his body into sharp steel blades)."

*WOOSH*

He ran passed me, but instead of going after Mr. 1, he went after crocodile.

"Ey, follow the plan, you idiot!"

"Sorry Ken, but I just want to fight against him." said Ace

*WOOSH*

Suddenly Sabo ran passed me, and he went after Mr. 1.

"Not you too!"

"Sorry, bro!"

"Tsk, fuck it. Just fight against whoever you want."

*WOOSH*

Deuce ran passed me and went to fight Mr. 5 (The guy who uses his boogers as bombs). Robert went against Bon Kurei, Laffitte went against Mr. 3, Robin went against Miss Goldenweek (That girl that uses pain to make everyone emo), and Zala is teaming up with Mikita to take care of Mr. 4 and Miss Merry Christmas(Those two Usopp and Chopper went against).

'Who am I supposed to fight now?'

I looked behind Crocodile and his officers and saw about 100 cannon fodders.

I glared at them, and they immediately fell on their ass.

'Just my luck.'

I walked through the battlefield.

*BAM*

*BOOM*

*CLANG*

I managed to walk through it without getting hit once. I looked at the canon fodders and got a great idea.

"Make a throne."

"Huh?"

"Create a throne for me with your bodies."

"Bu… but…"

"Now!"

They immediately started making a throne. After 5 minutes, they were finally done. I sat down on someone's back.

I looked at the battlefield and saw that everyone was still fighting. Robin was sitting on the ground, depressed, and making circles on the ground. Laffitte is just having fun. Robert is still having problems with Bon Kurei.

'He only knew how to use his Devil Fruit to run away, and he has never fought with it. I was able to improve his fighting capabilities in this last month and a half, but I'll need more time to make him strong.'

Zala and Mikita also seemed to be struggling. Mr. 4 and Miss Merry Christmas are really good at working together.

*BOOM*

"Why is Deuce struggling with Mr. 5? Oh, nevermind. He is just trying to improve his maneuvering skills.'

Sabo isn't using his pipe against Mr. 1.

'He must be training his Tekkai and shigan.'

Ace and Crocodile went further into the desert.

'Hm? His fire isn't doing much against Crocodile's sand. It only turns it into glass sometimes, but he isn't able to hit Crocodile. Why is that? He has enough raw power to theoretically break through the walls of sand Crocodile has, so why isn't he able to?'

I kept watching them for a little bit until I saw it.

'To think it was something so simple. Let's see what Ace comes up with..'

[Ace P.O.V.]

I sent a huge wave of flames towards him, but except for turning his sand into glass, nothing happened.

'Why can't I breakthrough? I'm able to punch through a building with my fire, but I can't get through his wall of sand.'

He sent a wave of sand towards me.

<Soru>

I disappeared. I started running around him and shooting flames at him. He kept throwing sand towards me and creating quicksand underneath me.

'I need to find a way to get close to him. He keeps blocking me with his sand when I'm about to charge at him.'

I kept looking for an opening.

'If I can't find an opening, I'll need to create it. But how can I do that when my attacks aren't able to penetrate through his sand?'

He pointed at me with his golden hook, and sand came flowing out of it. He tried to grab me with the sand. I kept dodging his sand and turning it into glass.

'Wait, that's it! He is using that golden hook to use his powers in different ways. Maybe I could use something to break through his sand and hit him.'

I took my dagger from my belt and held it in front of me.

'Please work!'

I encased it with fire.

'This is a great start.'

I started making the fire more concentrated and increasing the fire blade.

*CRACK*

*BOOM*

The dagger exploded, and the blade pieces started flying everywhere.

'I'm lucky that I'm a logia user, or I could have been really injured by those pieces.'

*WOOSH*

Crocodile suddenly appeared in front of me.

"Argh!"

He grabbed my throat with his hands turned into sand.

"I got you."

The ground under us suddenly turned into quicksand, and before I could do anything, he threw me in, and I got swallowed by the sand.

'I need to be more careful next time.'

*BOOOOM*

I released a massive amount of flames around me, creating an enormous explosion and blowing all the sand away.

I jumped out of the massive crates I made and saw everyone with shocked looks except for Ken. He is just smiling.

'That idiot is never impressed.'

I felt Crocodile coming after me again, so I jumped away.

I looked at Crocodile, and we had a stare-off.

'What should I do now? My plan to create a new technique failed because of my useless dagger.'

*WOOSH*

A sword came flying towards me, and it fell right in front of me.

'Yubashiri!'

I looked at Ken, and he nodded.

I smiled.

I picked up the sword.

'This should do. Ken told me that this is a rare sword that is really strong and durable.'

(An: Then why did it get f*cking destroyed by a f*cking side f*cking character!!! I'm sorry, this is just me being angry at a cool sword being destroyed. And I know how rust works, but still. I'm sad.)

I surrounded it with flames again and started condensing it.

'Please don't break, please don't break, please don't break, please don't break!'

*WOOSH*

The sword was giving out an immense heat, and it's size tripled.

"It worked!"

'I need to calm down. I'm still in a deadly fight. So what should I call it?'

------------------------------------------------------

[Leave a name for the new technique down below. The only ones I could come up with were either unoriginal or really cringy.]

Fun fact:

The reason why Whitebeard is called Whitebeard is because, in Japanese, there are no different words for beard and mustache.

His name in Japanese is Shirohige. Shiro means white and hige means facial hair.
