Boom boom boom boom~ So many girls will be in the room~

"You've actually… Improved over the course of this battle…? Are you going to… cut diamonds next?" Daz asks while in a kneeling position.

"That would be a hell of a waste." Zoro

"You got me there, heh!" Daz smiles as he collapses forward.

"A! I Can't take it anymore! I can't see my colleagues be beaten and taken like that! Even if I hate most of them it's just not my style!" Bentham has enough and charges at me, because my hands are full from holding Zala.

I watch him casually without worries.

*Boom!* The leg impacts with Braum's shield.

"Now I will give you more than harsh talking to! You attack someone who already fought their battles? You chicken covered crazy person." Braum looks at Bentham with an unamused look.

"HOW DARE YOU CALL MY SWANS CHICKENS?! Eat my Oh come my way drunken swan soirette!" Bentham attacks with his hands, but how can that attack do anything to Braums shield?

"You hit like baby ram! No horns yet!" Braum smiles at him behind the shield.

"WHY YOU!!! Stop hiding behind that shield and face me!!!" Bentham screams.

"My shield is my sword! So come at me with everything you've got!" Braum

"Screw you! Then I'll attack someone else! White swan arabesque!" Bentham turns around and jumps towards the injured Zoro.

But somehow the giant Braum was faster and jumped to Zoro and shielded him.

"Guess I need to do this the difficult way! Sometimes, shield becomes smashing board!" Braum lifts the shield high and smashes it down on Bentham.

Bentham dodges and looks at Braum hatefully.

"Oh right! That does it! Maybe you don't know of my clone-clone powers! What's so amazing about it is the scope of memory! For example, I can use it to create a MONTAGE of parts! And once I've crippled you with laughter, you will be at my mercy!!! The world's weirdest head, eyes, nose and mouth! For the first time anywhere the clone--clone montage!!" Bentham tries to transform his face to a monstrosity, but it mostly stays the same besides Usopp's nose appearing on him.

Silence descends as everyone looks at his stupid face. Zala even facepalms.

"If you have problems, you come to Braum! If the problem is your own face, then you got the wrong man to help… Maybe… If I smash your face with shield, I can make it better? Who knows!" Braum thinks about it while staring at the face.

Bentham starts crying on the floor as he stares at the mirror.

"Hey Bentham, look at it from the bright side!" Lynx

"What bright side?" He looks at me in hope.

"You got the clone clone fruit, so you don't have to wear that face… Most people are stuck with their ugly mugs for the rest of their lives." Like a sword piercing his heart Bentham starts to shake in rage at me calling him ugly.

"Well time to end this! Troublemaker toos is the best game!" Braum laughs as he picks up Bentham and throws him at a wall before giving him four punches, causing him to be stunned on the floor.

He picks him up and keeps tossing him, throwing the chill air and punching him into the floor.

"I gib up…" Bentham

"Oh? I thought you had more fight in you!" Braum

"Heh! Don't make me laugh! My body already isn't able to move, why drag out the inevitable? You win! So kill me..." Bentham

Braum just smiles and gives him his hand.

"You fight good, but could use something extra! Since we have fought, now we eat!" Braum smiles, picks him up and slink him over the shoulder.

"W-what?! Why are you not finishing me off?! I tried to do that to your friends!" Bentham

"Today we fight each other, tomorrow we may fight together! And I actually saved you when I blocked you from attacking Lynx! If you actually hurt the new recruit, he would turn into demon and torture you! You can see his way of torture by looking at the top half of that baton!" Braum smiles and then points at the baton a bit fearfully.

"... Thank you. I owe you my life." Bentham looks at the baton and how 1,5 m of its length is discolored. Torture using a baton can be only done one way and Bentham preffers not to die that way.

Bentham slinks over and all the battles in here are finished.

"So… Where are Luffy and Sandyass?" I look around since their presence is nowhere to be seen.

"Oh! They burst through that window after you went through the ceiling." Braum walks to Zoro and slinks him over the other shoulder.

"Damn it Luffy! I want to try something on him after he defeats him! Let's go then!" Lynx

"So these three plus dog are mine then?" Smoker points at Mr 4, Daz, MMC and Lassoo.

"Bring them to our ship for now and restrain them. You do have some seastones cuffs right?" Lynx

"Of course! I caught too many devil fruit users to not have them on me." He takes out the cuffs and cuffs them.

"Good! We don't have to wait for Durin since he took the seastone cage, but we are helping Nami carry some of the money to the ship. Braum you take the injured to the ship and Smoker will look over them while you return to help Nami carry the loot. Zala, Robin and I are going to go find Luffy." Lynx

"That's alright with me! Just don't cuff these two while I leave." Braum looks at Smoker.

"... What are you planning to test out with Crocodile?" Smoker looks at me suspiciously.

"Not part of the creeeeew~" I sing it kinda disney like to annoy Smoker even more.

"Fine! Go do what you want! I've got my hands full with these guys here anyway." Smoker drags the five over towards the ship.

'Guess I will take my free exp later when they are isolated in prison…' I stare at the captives before turning to Robin.

"Come on, hop on!" I offer her my back.

"You are giving your 'slave' a princess carry, while you want to piggy back me?" Robin makes an offended look while smiling.

"Ah right! Let's do it like this! Duo fleur!" I put down Zalal, crossed my hands and sprouted two more on my stomach.

I grab both of them in a princess carry on both my sides and jump out through the window.

"You… You can use my ability?!" Robin looks shocked along Zala.

"Well now you both are joining us, so I can tell you. I can use all the abilities of my summons. You will learn about it later Zala, there is no time now." I smile at them while explaining.

"... So you also got that from me? You sneaky little boy~ You even use it to play with girls' hearts~" Robin decides to tease me, because of my particular use of her ability.

Smiling at her teasing, I only await for her liking to rise. I start looking around and I see a sand storm at the side of Rainbase.

"There you two are!" I smile and head in their direction.

…

Crocodile and Luffy had shared exchanges. With luffy punching and kicking, while Crocodile kept flying around and kept trying to impale him with his hook.

After another taken hit, Crocodile materializes on the sand.

"So you know how to touch me, but we are now in my homeground. What do you think a kid like you can do?" Crocodile

"I will kick your ass as I promised my crew and Vivi. I just have to be careful of your hand and I will be alright!" Luffy carries the barrel on his back and wets his hands a bit.

"Pathetic… You are supposed to be the captain? That guy that came in first has better qualities for that than you. By the voice it must also have been the one from the transponder snail on Little garden. He saved you multiple times and he dismantled my plans in less than a month after coming to the Grandline… Care to tell me why you are the captain again?" Crocodile smirks at Luffy.

"Because I am the captain and-" Luffy

"AND HE WILL BECOME THE KING OF PIRATES YOU ASSHOLE!" I yell with a grin.

I finally caught up with the two in the dessert. They were a few kilometers away from Rainbase, so it took me a few minutes to get there with the two girls.

"*Tch!* So you already lost Miss Doublefinger… Or did you give up? I don't see any bruises on you." Crocodile

"Heh, we made a deal and she lost. Who would damage a person they want to recruit?" I give him a smirk.

"Oi! Lynx! Don't interfere!" Luffy yells towards me overprotective of his prey.

"I don't plan to, you dolt! I came so I can clean the battlefield after you beat his ass." I yell back.

"Ah, ok! Shi-shi-shi-shi!" Luffy just laughs and turns back to Crocodile.

"Geh, fine! I will kill you all here! Desert girasol!" Crocodile first forms quicksand beneath me, Robin and Zala, before attacking Luffy again.

"You amateur. Quattro fleur! Incinerate! Winters bite!" I jump with four arms sprouting from my legs facing the floor, from which four streams of fire bathe the floor turning it into molten glass and then cool it with winter's bite to make a solid floor.

I land casually back on the platform and continue looking at Crocodile with a smirk.

"Annoying show off… Well playtime is over brat!" Crocodile

"I wasn't playing!" Luffy is annoyed at his tone.

"Desert spada!" Crocodile sends sand blades trying to slash Luffy apart.

"Whoa!" Luffy dodges but the sand spada continues to cut the desert into two.

"Good thinking! If you met that move head on, 'Whoa!' wouldn't be the half of it!" Crocodile smirks.

"What the?! The desert is split in two?!" Luffy goes to observe it up close.

"I worked hard to develop my devil fruit powers. I can make any weapon out of it… Unlike the fools who are satisfied with the basic abilities they gained. I continually condition myself and improve my skills. I will make you all regret messing with me!" Crocodile sends a few more sand slashes at Luffy.

"Since you are so slippery, I will just have to lock you in place! Gum gum finger net!" Luffy jumps over and forms a finger net.

"Didn't you learn it's futile?" Crocodile transforms his hand into sand and shoves the finger net away.

"Gum gum whip!" Luffy wets his leg and kicks Crocodile, this time it is effective but Crocodile blocks it with his hook, blocking most of the damage.

"Crescent cutlass!" Crocodile swipes Luffy's leg, which shrivels up from water loss.

"Ah! My leg is mummified!" Luffy

"It's one of the sand's properties. It absorbed the moisture of your arm. And once it absorbs all your moisture, you will just become one more of the shriveled monuments of my powers. That's the way of the desert." Crocodile

"Luffy, did you already forget what I told you?" I ask him annoyed.

"Ah, right!" Luffy drinks some water and rehydrates the leg.

"Ridiculous!" Crocodile

"No it's not! Gum gum-" Crocodile just looks as Luffy rushes at him.

"Munch munch!" Luffy eats the top half of Crocodile.

"..." The girls just look dumbfounded while I just facepalm.

"I have enough of this! DIE!!!" Crocodile flies out of his mouth and nose looking pissed.

With a swing of his arm, the hook tries to skewer Luffy, but Luffy punches him in the face, sending him flying away.

"You are done! Gum gum Buzzsaw!" Luffy extends his arms to grab on Crocodile and spins like a saw as he crashes into him.

"Heh heh, so what if you got some hits off me. But you'll never defeat me boy, you are not in my league. I am one of the seven warlords of the sea!" Crocodile

"*Cough cough!* SECOND WEAKEST! *Cough!*" This earned me his glare and a few nervous chuckles from Zala.

"If you are one of the seven warlords of the sea, then I am the eighth warlord of the sea!! Gum gum shotgun!" Luffy throws his punch while wobbling his hand, making it spread the impact to hit Crocodile.

Luffy then proceeds to to gum gum pistol but then when it arrives before Crocodile he contracts to it and punches him with his other hand. He tries to splash him with the barrel but Crocodile reacts by blowing him away.

"Hahaha, you seem desperate straw hat! Without that barrel you are helpless! Which means our battle has only one ending!" Crocodile laughs.

"You are right! But I will adapt to defeat my enemies! Water Luffy!!!" Luffy drinks the whole barrel and throws it away, leaving him inflated with water.

"... Is he serious?" Zala looks at me for confirmation while Robin just laughs.

"Eh, even a blind chicken finds the grain. Luffy is like that too! He will experiment and push until he makes it. But he will show the most intelligence in battles." Lynx

The two girls just shift their gazes back to the battle.

"... I'll teach you to play around with me boy!!!" Crocodile loses it from feeling mocked.

Luffy pushes a bunch of water up from his stomach and spits in Crocodiles face drenching him whole.

"Who is playing around?! I'm always serious! Gum gum bazooka!!!" Luffy delivers a heavy hit to Crocodile's stomach, sending him away.

He continued to brawl with Crocodile, got continuously beat into the ground but in the end managed to pull a stunt. He inflated into a balloon, twisted and used the air to speed at Crocodile in the air, punched through the desert spada and shot Crocodile into the ground, knocking him out.

"See! He even used haki to punch through the sand blade! Well better go catch him!" I run forward as Luffy falls down totally exhausted from the fight.

Jumping up, I catch the unconscious Luffy and slink him over my shoulder.

"Well now it's time to experiment!" I grin as I walk towards Crocodile.

Conjuring a lasso, I put him around his neck.

'Well, I can borrow and share the power or knowledge of my summons… But can I completely steal it away?' I grin at the thought.

"Let go of your devil fruit powers and pass them to me." I say quietly.

Feeling the connection with him, I first steal the memories before I proceed to try to feel the powers. Ok, just scratching it on the surface allows me to use it's abilities…

'But I want to steal it whole from the bastard. NO MERCY!' Lynx

I put my hand on his forehead and sent some of the free power of unsummoning Durin and Heph through the connection directly into him. It slowly penetrated his skull and started to wrap around the powers through the entire body.

"Fuck this is slow! Maybe if I had more available, I would be able to do it better, but I can't send Braum or Annie back. Just gotta brave through!" I close my eyes as I continue to focus.

Robin and Zala make their way to me and stare at me.

"What are you doing?" Robin

"Trying to feel his devil fruit power and extract it if I can. Watch over me for now." I briefly explain before I stop paying attention to them.

"What? You can extract the power?!" Zala looked afraid, but I don't answer since I am too focused.

My soul energy wraps fully around the power before I decide to pull on it.

"AHHHHH!!!!" Crocodile starts to swing around from pain but is unable to turn into sand.

'Looks like wrapping the soul energy around the power seals it? Or is it because he is still unconscious?' I made a conclusion.

"Ocho fleur!" Robin crosses her arms, spawning eight of them to hold Crocodile in place as I focus.

As I pull the power slowly together, it literally rips away from Crocodile's body, causing inhuman pain. He actually started to foam at the mouth and shiver. After a few minutes of inhumane torture I finally gathered the power into an orb in his brain. With a thought of pulling, the orb starts to exit Crocodiles head through our connection.

After a few moments the orb exits and Crocodiles head explodes into bloody mush covering me whole in blood and brain matter. The power transforms into a yellow transparent orb but it continuously tries to permeate into me.

"...WHAT IN THE FLYING FUCK?!?!" I look horrified at the mess that just happened.

"WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO?!" The always calm Zala stares at me in fear as she saw the head explode just because of touching it.

'I have no time with this! I don't plan to be the devil fruit user! Who to pass it on to… AH!' I pull in the air and summon Vivi from the air.

She looks confused but I just pull her close and shove the power orb into her mouth.

The orb spreads out and permeates her body. She falls forward and I catch her as she struggles to hold herself together. After a few more seconds, the power raging inside her body stops as she regains her strength.

She picks herself up and looks lost looking at me.

"...What did you make me eat?" Vivi stares at me confused as if I gave her poison but it didn't kill her.

"I gave you a gift~?" I smile awkwardly because she is now covered in Crocodile's blood.

With a thought, I send her the memories of the powers through our connection and she connects the dots.

"... YOU GAVE ME THE POWERS OF THE SAND SAND FRUIT?! HOW?! NO WAIT WHY ARE YOU COVERED IN BLOOD?!" First she is confused but then she is worried that something happened to me.

"Uh, Luffy beat Sandyass, I experimented and was able to extract his powers and knowledge and gave it to you…" I have no idea how to explain this properly in a short amount of time.

"You did WHAT? But why are you then drenched in blood?!" Vivi

"Because when I extracted the power, his head exploded?" I point at the headless corpse in the sand.

"... Excuse me, but WHAT THE FLYING FUCK?!" Vivi screams

"Aw, that's cute, she took some of your habits~" Robin comes closer

"Wait! You are already here?! And who are you?!" Vivi points at Robin and then at Zala.

"They are both now joining us!" I smile.

"... My dad will die from a heart attack when he meets you." Vivi
