Wyper VS Cracker

Somewhere in Whole Cake Chateaux,

"Huff…Huff…I can't drop my guard around this guy. If I was just a split second late, I would've died right there," Wyper took a deep breath, calming himself down while assessing the situation and scanning his opponent, Cracker. 'This guy doesn't seem to prefer engaging in battle directly and keeps controlling these biscuit puppets to fight for him instead. If I can force him to fight me directly, I might have an advantage. The problem is destroying these puppets.'

Wyper contemplated while fixing his gaze on the large brutish warrior, now possessing four arms—two carrying swords and the other two carrying shields. This transformation occurred after Wyper's last attack, where he managed to deal damage directly to Cracker, surpassing the Biscuit Soldier defense using his Reject Dial before delivering a hard blow to the puppet afterward.

'If my Reject Dial is working on him, then it's obvious what I have to do,' Wyper cracked a savage grin, smoke billowing from the cigarette between his teeth. He raised his rifle to eye level, aiming it at Cracker's forehead before firing a Haki-imbued bullet.

BAAAM! Cracker swiftly raised one of his shields, hardening it with Haki and blocking the bullet with ease. He then multiplied the puppet's cracker-shaped shield with his Devil Fruit, sprouting multiple arms before hardening them with Armament Haki.

"Hard Biscuit!!"

In a quick motion, Cracker lunged at Wyper and slammed the shields onto him, trying to pin him to the ground.

Wyper, however, was attentive and focused. His Observation Haki, keen reflexes, and speed allowed him to dodge just in time by jumping aside, avoiding Cracker's crushing blow that shattered the floor on impact.

Wyper's eyes narrowed as he observed Cracker. "It's gonna be annoying dealing with this guy…"

<Sky Walk>

Wyper pushed himself with superhumanly strong kicks, allowing him to seemingly fly above Cracker. He then launched a variation of Rankyaku, kicking multiple times at high speed and strength, resulting in several large, compressed projectiles imbued with Armament Haki. Each, shaped like a spear, was launched straight at Cracker.

"Kalgara's Mighty Spear!!"

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! Due to their unusual shapes, the air projectiles exploded upon contact rather than cutting the biscuit soldier. The impact of the explosions pushed Cracker back, giving Wyper an opportunity to close in and attack.

Without wasting any time, Wyper propelled himself toward Cracker using his Shooters and Soru, employing the same strategy he used earlier to attack with his Reject Dial. He located Cracker's body inside the puppet and targeted that spot.

"How long are you gonna hide inside?!" Wyper asked as he approached. Hearing no answer, he added, "Guess I'm gonna have to force you out…"

He put away his rifle and aimed his right hand at the puppet's torso, ready to use his Reject Dial. But before he could activate it, something unpredictable happened. An arm carrying a sword suddenly sprouted from the biscuit soldier's torso and thrust at Wyper's chest.

He barely dodged by tilting his body to the side, avoiding a fatal injury but still getting his chest cut open. The injury wasn't light, but it wasn't as severe as it could have been if he hadn't moved out of the way.

Wyper didn't even bother checking on his injury. His savage grin widened. The injury didn't stop Wyper from continuing his previous attack. "If you wanna stop me, you'll have to cut my head off!"

Cracker attempted to use the same technique again, sprouting an arm out of nowhere to stab Wyper. But the Shandian warrior was on guard this time and easily blocked the sword with his Haki-coated leg before smashing it into pieces with a powerful kick.

He swiftly turned back, grabbing his Bazooka and aiming it at Cracker before shooting a large fire blast of white-blue flames caused by the ignition of the bazooka and the gas released from the Breath Dial within.

"Burn Bazooka!!!"

KA-BOOOOM!! The power of the blast didn't necessarily cause great damage to the biscuit soldier, but it managed to throw him off balance, creating an opportunity for Wyper.

"Got you, bastard!" Wyper smirked, vanishing into thin air only to reappear before Cracker. His right hand pressed against the biscuit soldier's torso. Taking a puff from his cigarette, he exhaled a cloud of smoke before activating the Reject Dial in his hand, unleashing a powerful blast that bypassed all external defenses and caused internal damage to the real Cracker hiding inside the armor.

"REJECT!!!"

BAAAAM!!

"—AUUGGGHH!!" Cracker screamed in agony, blood spurting from his mouth while he remained trapped inside his armor. 

"Not yet, I'm gonna bring you out of that armor!" Wyper did not stop there and while still mid-air he spun around quickly in a circle, using his Shooters to gain extra momentum and spun faster, and then performed Rankyaku with both legs to create a circle shaped Rankyaku which radiated outward horizontally. 

.

"Shandorian Slicer!!"

.

VWOOSH! The enormous mass of Rankyaku sliced Cracker's biscuit solider in half, revealing the real Cracker who was hit by the attack and was sent rolling back on the ground with an injured torso.

Wyper landed a few feet away, a cocky look on his face as he gazed down at Cracker. Even though he was injured and bleeding, he didn't bother checking or being bothered by the pain. "Now, now... Click..." Wyper pulled out his rifle once more and aimed it at Cracker.

"Say your prayers" Just as he was about to pull the trigger, Cracker nervously reached to his weapon 'Pretzel' which was on the ground beside him. It's a huge double-edged sword which is one of the Meito and a blade larger than himself with a crossguard shaped like a biscuit.

Cracker quickly picked up the sword and imbued it with Armament Haki, blocking Wyper's bullet shots before dashing towards him with a glare. "Don't push your luck..." 

"...You winged bastard!!" Cracker growled, slashing his sword horizontally at Wyper's chest.

FWOOSH!! Wyper dodged by jumping upwards, performing a somersault, and landing a few feet away from Cracker.

"..." There was a moment of silence before Cracker took a deep breath, finally calming down and regaining his composure.

"You did a good job destroying my armor, only a handful of people managed to do that before you, but…" Cracked said, a twisted grin stretched across his face while taking a few, purposeful steps towards his destroyed armor before hopping on top of it and looking down at the Shandian Warrior with disdain.

"You're finally gonna man up and fight me head on?" Wyper mocked, trying to provoke him. But Cracker seemed unbothered by the statement as he addressed Wyper again.

"Don't think that you've won just because you destroyed one armor, hehe…I ate the Bisu Bisu no Mi and became a biscuit" Cracker stated with confidence "I can generate and manipulate an endless amount of biscuits, one armor down? No problem, I'll just replace it with two more, hahaha! We'll see how you can handle that then!"

"I'll just blow your brain away then…*Click*" Wyper aimed his rifle again at him.

Cracker started clapping with his hands as he explained his ability "*CLAP*-*CLAP*…I start off by conjuring biscuits and crush them into super fine crumbs in order to shape them into anything, Crush Biscuit!!" in a couple of seconds he managed to shape up a large warrior made of biscuit.

"There you go, the face of a tough warrior... Biscuit Warrriors!!"

"*CLAP*-*CLAP*…it will also multiply as I clap my hands! That's how my dreamlike biscuit works!" Just as he said that the one biscuit soldier was multiplied into four "Learning that there are certain people you can't defeat no matter how hard you try…it's my job to teach you that lesson"

"We'll see about that" 

GUN-SHOT--GUN-SHOT... Wyper proceeded to shoot the biscuit soldiers, who used their shields to block the bullets. Although the Haki-imbued bullets managed to go through the shields, they didn't do much damage to the soldiers.

"Tsk, it only received that much damage"

'Now that guy isn't using any Armament Haki. It should be easier to destroy them than before, but their numbers are the problem,' Wyper thought as he swiftly reloaded his rifle. 'I need more power to destroy them, and I need to find their weaknesses.'

The four biscuit soldiers charged at Wyper all at once, overwhelming him with relentless attacks and forcing him onto the defensive as he scrambled to devise a strategy.

'Think! I need more power, and I need a way to weaken these biscuit soldiers to make them easier to destroy,' Wyper racked his brain, searching for a plan. Then it hit him, "They're made of biscuits. If I use water, I can soften them enough to destroy them!"

"Why didn't I think of that before…" Wyper smiled. "As for that extra power, I think I'm ready to see if my Haki training has been useful."

"Kill him! My biscuit soldiers!"

SWOOOSH! SWOOOSH! The four biscuit soldiers charged at Wyper, their weapons swinging to slice him up.

<Sky Walk>

Wyper leaped into the air and flew upwards before looking down with a grin. He pulled out a hidden dial and aimed it downward. It was a Water Dial, one of the rarest even in Sky Island.

"Good thing I have this on me," Wyper activated the Dial, unleashing a torrent of water at Cracker and his biscuit soldiers, soaking them and making them softer.

SPLASH!!

"Water?! What the hell did he just use?!" Cracker looked on in disbelief, confused by how Wyper managed to do that.

BAAM! Wyper landed on the ground again, a menacing look on his face as he gazed at his opponent. He grabbed his rifle and aimed it at one of the biscuit soldiers.

"Now, let's see how tough you are after being soaked in water…" Wyper closed his eyes, focusing deeply and drawing on memories from his training. 'I've seen Kai and Kid let their Haki flow out of their bodies to increase their attack power. It's a step above normal hardening, and I've been training on it ever since…'

"Time to end this!" Wyper opened his eyes, hardened his body and muscles until they bulged, and then let his Haki flow out using Advanced Armament Haki, infusing himself and his rifle with it. "Eat this!"

In a split second, Wyper shot all four Biscuit Soldiers, destroying them into pieces.

"Impossible! Even if they were softened with water, my biscuit soldiers are still hard enough to withstand powerful attacks!!" Cracker watched in shock, his eyes wide and mouth agape. He froze, unable to believe what he was seeing, giving Wyper the chance to strike him directly.

"You better believe it's possible because I just did it!" Wyper closed in on Cracker at high speed, ready to strike him down.

He imbued his leg with Advanced Armament Haki, letting it flow around it. With a powerful kick, he unleashed an enormous Rankyaku in the shape of a spear that had a golden aura around it.

.

"Shandora's Golden Spear!!!"

.

SPLASH!!... Cracker tried to defend himself, but he was too late. The enormous slash cut off his left arm and sent him flying out of the castle, falling to the ground unconscious.
