17 Chapter 17 - The real Celestial Dragon.
(A/N: I'll start putting the word count before every chapter just so you all know.
[2606 words not counting this]
< 3rd POV >
Just as Cain had finished saying that, all of the guards attacked him in every manner they could. Some used guns, some used crossbows, and some even tried to attack him with their swords which was dumb. I mean, he was 60ft in the air so they wouldn't even reach him but whatever. Throughout all of their attacks, Cain did not move even a single muscle.
Even if Mihawk himself used his strongest attack on Cain in his dragon form, not even a scratch would be apparent. His dragon body was just TOO hard for anything in this world to piece, but if you got someone like Thor wielding Stormbreaker, he would probably be able to deal some damage. Anyways...
As the people present on Marie Jois realized that their attempts were completely wasted, 5 men could be seen walking through the doors of the Pangaea Castle. This castle was where the World Government met and worked. It also was the home of the 5 elders.
These 5 men were the highest-ranking World Nobles that made up the head of state for the World Government. Seeing that the World Government controlled a very large portion of the world, these 5 people basically ruled the entire world. But their existence was hidden from the public, and only a handful of people knew about their existence.
(A/N: Since their names have not yet been released, I'll be naming them and post a picture on the comments so that you know who is who.)
Starting with the leftmost side, we have Zami. He is the youngest looking of the Five Elders; he sports blond hair, a beard of the same color, and has a scar on his chest. He also wears a suit with the shirt buttons open, and without a tie.
To the right of Zami, is Sakuraki, the oldest looking of the five. He is bald, with glasses and a white gi. He also holds a samurai sword with him.
On the middle is Kyosa. He is bald, and has large birthmark spots on his forehead and a large white mustache that defies gravity.
On the right side of Kyosa, there is Shoseki. He is a very tall and thin bearded man with long white hair. He wore the same suit as the rest, but his is more of a navy blue instead of black.
And situated furthest to the right is Hachizo. He has a scar on the left side of his face, wears a hat over gray dreadlocks, and wields a walking cane.
(A/N: The One Piece wiki really helps lol...)
As they left the castle, they emanated a strong aura. Not strong like Whitebeard or Kaido, but strong nonetheless. After their little dramatic entrance, they said nothing and instantly charged at Cain. Sakuraki unsheathed his sword and jumped high off the ground and as he reached near Cain's head, he slashed his sword in a fast and fluid manner trying to immediately behead Cain.
But suddenly, Mihawk stepped in and blocked his strike with his own sword, Yoru. Mihawk was dying to battle someone and he just found the perfect opponent for him in Sakuraki. They started clashing swords moments after that.
Seeing that Mihawk was also here, the other 4 elders dispersed into 2 groups. Group 1 would consist of Zami, Kyosa and Shoseki and their target was Cain, noticing that he was much more of a threat than Mihawk. Group 2 had Hachizo and Sakuraki and they were both battling Mihawk. Strangely enough, Hachizo's cane could be used as a sword, but it wasn't good for slashing, it's main focus was piercing the target with its thin and sharp end.
Cain seeing that he was up against 3 of the 5 elders, decided to have some fun and turned back into his human form in instants and spawned Nandaka in his left hand. He used his non-dominant hand to train and to have a little challenge while fighting them.
As the 3 elders saw a sword suddenly appear in Cain's hands, they became more focused on the fight that was about to happen. They didn't dare understimate Cain because just moments ago, he was a fucking huge dragon.
Cain then started dashing towards the elders using only a bit of his speed. He slashed his sword at Shoseki's legs, trying to incapacitate him and at the same time eliminate his biggest advantage. Since Shoseki had very long legs, Cain thought that they were probably his main weapon in a fight so he just wanted to remove that factor out of the equation straight away.
But Shoseki was prepared for this and instantly cladded his lower body in a very strong Armament Haki and at the same time used 'Tekkai'. It seemed that these elders weren't pushovers and actually knew how to fight...
As Cain slashed Shoseki's legs, his sword was rebounded by his defense and couldn't penetrate. Of course Cain wasn't using his full strenght otherwise with just a move of his sword, he could destroy the entirety of Marie Jois easily.
Seeing that Cain was struggling to make his way through Shoseki's Haki, the other 2 elders used 'Soru' to almost instantaneously appear next to Cain and both of them launched a punch covered in Haki in Cain's direction.
(A/N: Soru and all the other Rokushiki here)
Cain then used his space powers to teleport and control the sword to appear at his back and defend him against the 2 strong punches that were coming his way. As the punches landed on Cain's sword, he teleported it back to his left hand and turned around while sending a powerful slash to Zami's head, aiming to behead him completely.
Zami once again used 'Soru' to get a little bit of distance from the attack and started dashing to Cain once he had successfully dodged the slash. By this time, Shoseki had already gotten away from Cain and used 'Rankyaku' to send several wind blades from his legs in Cain's direction. Just as they reached Cain, he dodged all of them effortlessly like he had Ultra Instict or some shit.
Kyosa seeing this, knew he had to use something that was fast and powerful enough to damage Cain. So he used 'Soru' at his maximum to get a few feet away from Cain and started charging at him while holding both of his fists in front of him together, and as he reached Cain's position he muttered "Soru" and appeared behind Cain in less than an instant and used 'Rokougan' while his fists were centimeters away from Cain's back.
This attack sent a devastating shock wave in front of his fists, but all of this was for naught. The moment that Kyosa realized what had happened, his head was already detached from his body. Cain had moved way to fast for any of them to notice and cut off his head.
"Playtime is over boys." He said while walking towards the 2 elders that were left.
As the other 2 elders saw what happened, they didn't even have time to be shocked and just launched at Cain at speeds so fast that even a bullet would seem like it was moving at a snails pace. Both cladded theirs fists in the strongest Haki they could mutter and sent a powerful strike at Cain at the same time. A huge dust cloud rose from the ground just from the air pressure of their punch.
When the dust cloud faded, all they could see was Cain holding both of their hands in place and not damaged in the least. NOW, they were trully shocked. But before they had the time to react, Cain had already pierced both of their hearts, one with his sword and the other with his dragon claws that he had transformed. Both of their bodies fell to the ground, lifeless.
As all of this was happening, Mihawk was having an intense battle with 2 very strong swordsmen. Both were coming at Mihawk at the same time but he didn't show any opening and instead, used his sword to slowly but surely damage them. In the beggining the amount of damage he had caused was insignificant, but they started to pile up as the battle continued.
Right now, both the Elders were covered in cuts in all parts of their body but they didn't waver in the least, instead they seemed to be even more motivated to utterly destroy Mihawk. Sakuraki used 'Soru' to get some distance between him and Mihawk while Hachizo was fighting in a fencing style against Mihawk. Sakuraki then started to launch countless energy strikes at Mihawk while Hachizo jumped out of the way so that he would not be caught in the crossfire.
Mihawk tried to fend them all off but eventually, one of the energy strikes managed to bypass his defence and had pierced his right shoulder as blood squished out from the wound. He then switched to holding his sword with his left hand because his right one had become less reliable and dashed towards Sakuraki. Using his sword with his left hand was no problem for him, he was completely ambidextrous. He had to take Sakuraki out first before he focused on the other one because he was the major problem here with his insanely fast strikes and energy attacks.
This fight was even giving Mihawk a hard time because Sakaruki was a master in the way of the sword, so he was a very tricky opponent to fight against.
Mihawk then sent a powerful energy strike that was called 'The strongest slash in the world' in Sakaruki's direction. He instantly used 'Soru' to get away from the powerful strike that was going towards him but the slash continued on its way. It cut the majority of Marie Jois in half but impressively, no one had been killed by this. The reason was that Cain had noticed this attack and teleported every person on its way away from it. He didn't want to give any of the World Nobles a quick death, he wanted to make them trully suffer.
Cain seeing that Mihawk was having a little trouble, offered some help, but Mihawk quickly denied, showing that we was having fun in this battle. He then just sat down where he was and watched the fight as if he was watching a movie.
Sakuraki quickly got over Mihawk's attack and used 'Soru' once again to close their distance and continue his attack, but that's when he heard Mihawk utter something under his breath.
"πππππππ ππππ ππ πππ πππππ πππππππ"
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*
A MASSIVE wave of green fire was released from Mihawk's body. The 2 elders couldn't react in time due to the unexpected attack and were burned by the fire, moments later becoming ash. Cain had to summon a barrier around his body so that he would not be blazed by this attack.
The entirety of Marie Jois went up in beautiful green flames as it destroyed everything in its way. This time, Cain teleported all of the World Nobles to his position and started by saying.
"All of you disgusting eyesores will now receive the punishment for your past actions. If you accept step foward, if not stay in place."
Only 9 of the 68 Nobles present stepped foward. The rest had a face of mockery, believing that this man in front of them could do nothing to them. They really were dumb...
"Congratulations to the 9 of you. Your punishment will be to live as slaves for the people for the rest of your lives. I've made it so that the 9 of you will live to 100 years old no matter what. Have fun!" Cain said as he teleported the 9 to different places in the world. He had already read all of the minds from the World Nobles present and all of them were disgusting trash.
Cain made it so that every year they would be teleported to a different place and become slaves for everyone there.
"Now, regarding all of you who have not stepped foward, you have really fucked up. I'll teleport you to the sun and make you all immortal. I'll also be creating some demons there to torture you for eternity so, goodbye!" He said while all of their faces turned into one of panic, but that didn't last long as they all disappeared and appeared a few feet away from the sun.
Cain then made some soulless demons with a hideous appearence and set a command on their minds to torture all of them without mercy, every single minute forever.
After everything was said and done, Cain turned to Mihawk and said, "Want me to heal that shoulder of yours?"
Mihawk just replied with, "No, it's alright."
Mihawk had already gotten used to Cain's unusual behavior and didn't even question how Cain had made all of the World Nobles disappear.
As they started walking away, another figure appeared from the ruins of the Palgaea Castle. He had a humanoid figure and sharp almond eyes with red irises that had thin circles surrounding the pupils, just like Mihawk's eyes but instead of being yellow, they were red. This strange figure wore a crown that has four sharp, incredibly tall spikes on the top and an extremely long white robe that flows upon the ground.
This figure said in a loud and disctinct voice, "Where do you think you're going?"
Cain turned around and said, "Oh, you're Im right? I'm bored now so you can just go and suffer the same fate as the other World Nobles, bye bye." He then teleported Im to the center of the sun and trapped him in a metal box and made it indescructible. Of course, he made Im immortal just for the fun of it.
Mihawk turned to Cain and said, "Who was that?"
"He was the one that was above the 5 elders. Think of him as the ruler of the world or something." Cain said while turning to his small dragon form that was 25 meters long and gesturing for Mihawk to climb on his back.
As they were returning to the Black Pearl, Cain asked Rhea in his mind to display his and Mihawk's stats. He hadn't seen his stats in a while and just now remembered to see Mihawk's one as well.

'Hmm, I got a nice little boost to my stats... And Mihawk is hella strong for this world's standards, damn. Guess that's why Shanks considers him his rival so no surprise there.' Cain thought as they were flying back to the Black pearl.
