One Piece 3

"It's rare that I find someone this strong." Two swords clash, and a man who rarely showed emotions at this moment had a smile. This man was known as the number one swordsman within the One Piece verse, his name was Dracule Mihawk,

"Don't mock me, you are far stronger than me." Warrior Takemikazuchi said with a smile, Mihawk shook his head slightly.

"Physically, Yes. But in sword skills, you have reached a level in swordsmanship above me." Mihawk said with a smile. He went on to pull back, drawing space from him.

"Well, I spent years perfecting my sword skills. I reached a level where I could hear the voice of my sword and the voice of the world. Normally, I would need a skill or something to cut reality, but I managed to learn to do it with just normal swings." Warrior Takemikazuchi said with a smile while looking at the wooden sword in his hands, it was covered in Armament Haki and Conqueror Haki. Of course, he couldn't clash with someone like Mihawk without going all out.

"You're one of the strongest people in this world. I know I should take my time by challenging others and building my strength before coming to you... But I like fighting those far beyond me in power." Warrior Takemikazuchi said with a smile, making Mihawk's smile grow.

"I want you to join my crew when I defeat you. Your world is small, and you grow bored being at the top. I'm offering you a chance to travel worlds and face swordsmen with skills above even my own." Warrior Takemikazuchi said causing Mihawk's eyes to widen

"you're not of this world?" Mihawk asked to which Warrior Takemikazuchi nodded lightly.

"And there is a whole world out there filled with people light years above us. I will go world to world, fighting them and pushing my skills to greater heights. I'm powerful, but I have come to find out I'm not even the best swordsman in the crew, my goal is to reach a level that can go against all reason and common sense. the power to cut anything," Warrior Takemikazuchi said, secretly sighing remembering the sword battle he had against the guild master, who so easily defeated him even after the guild master weakened himself.

"You're not the number one swordsman in your crew?" Mihawk asked with excitement filling his eyes. Mihawk was a man suffering from one thing... success,

he reached the peak. he was the best. he stood at the peak of this world as the number one swordsman. he had rivals in the past, but they were either dead or were crippled. He sat alone, awaiting that one day someone would come to defeat him... but now he was feeling alive once again. something to push him, he thought he had reached the peak, yet he stood realizing the so-called peak wasn't truly the peak

"If I win?" Mihawk asked to which Warrior Takemikazuchi smiled.

"You don't need to be under me, you will be a free man traveling among us." Warrior Takemikazuchi said with a smile. Mihawk smiled slightly and got ready to fight. The two looked at each other for a good few seconds, before they both shot toward each other,

'Focus...' Warrior Takemikazuchi's mind instantly went clear, and the world before his eyes instantly came to a slow.

'Mihawk although skilled with his sword, his sword is as large as his whole body. it slows him down and limits his movements. Is this his way to slow himself down?' Warrior Takemikazuchi thought while looking at the easily readable sword swing. Mihawk's sword was covered in both Armament and Conqueror Haki, making it extremely powerful. He closed his eyes, listening to reality.

'I hear it... I hear his Haki.' He thought, swinging the wooden sword forward to meet with Mihawk's sword. Mihawk's eyes widened seeing his Haki being cut through, yes this was extremely hard for Warrior Takemikazuchi to do, and he was using a wooden sword.

Mihawk watched as his large sword was also cut through, but it didn't stop there a sword slash traveled forward, cutting him. luckily, it was heavily weakened from clashing with his sword, but it left him bleeding all over.

As for Warrior Takemikazuchi? He was far weaker than someone like Mihawk, yes he cut through Mihawk's sword and Haki's, but that attack still landed on him, sending Warrior Takemikazuchi blasting away while coughing up a mouthful of blood. Part of his body was cut cleanly through, almost falling off his body, only to be held on by some flesh. the world behind him was cut, the sea being cut for as far as the eye could sea

"You... are something," Mihawk said while looking at his cleanly cut sword. He looked at it for some time, before looking at Warrior Takemikazuchi who was breathing heavily. That swing looked simple, but it took a lot of focus and energy. Thats not adding the fact he was missing half his body, which was slowly putting itself back together. If he hadn't used up so much energy, then he would have already healed from such an injury. However, being low on energy slowed down his recovery speed. They were working on a way to improve passive recovery speed that uses zero energy. if he didn't improve his genetics thanks to devil fruits and other things... he would be dead right now. 

"You're so weak... yet so powerful. I sense you're holding back, can I see what it looks like when you're going all out?" Mihawk said with a smile, 

"I meant no disrespect, but the target I want to defeat one day needs me to be able to face such huge gaps... we agreed not to use this gear unless needed due to how powerful they are." Warrior Takemikazuchi said while reaching into space. a hole appeared, where he grabbed onto something within. slowly, a sword was pulled out which instantly caught Mihawk's attention... he had never seen such a beautiful sword.

At the same time, gear appeared, and Samurai clothing appeared on Warrior Takemikazuchi. His whole body was covered in this new gear, even his face was covered by a mask. His body healed faster all of a sudden, quickly putting itself back together while he began to leave his human form, taking on his true form as an unnamed Nephilim. he didn't grow out his wings, and instead kept them away. At the same time, he didn't take on his true form which should be as large as galaxies by now. but thanks to this new world, and the fact he didn't want to show his true size. in the end, he was only the size of a tree.

"This is Anotatos Theos. I don't like using it, as it makes all battles unfair." Warrior Takemikazuchi said closing his eyes to feel the boost he got to all of his abilities. sword skills, strength, and so on, everything was boosted to the absolute limits,

He opened his eyes, just to see that the land around him had transformed. his conquer haki had destroyed everything on the island, from the forest to even the ground. nothing could withstand it. With this armor, he was multiversal, of course, he was still not as strong as someone like Mihawk.

"... I see. I will take this as my loss." Mihawk said softly, he wanted to fight, but he felt that he would die if he made a move. which scared him... and that fear only excited him.

The Grand Line is an ocean route that wraps around the entire world, south of the North and East Blues and north of the South and West Blues. It is separated from the Blues on both the north and south ends by the Calm Belt. The Grand Line is split into two sections by the Red Line. the first section is known as Paradise and the second is known as the New World.

The first half of the Grand Line is known as Paradise. Its name comes from people who have returned from the second half, claiming that the first half is like a paradise in comparison. It lies between East Blue and South Blue.

The second half of the Grand Line is known as the New World. Its name comes from it being "a whole new world of adventure" compared to the first half. It lies between North Blue and West Blue.

Wano Country is a country in the New World that is not affiliated with the World Government. It is located on the north side of the New World. It is currently occupied by the Beasts Pirates as their territory, under Kaido, one of the Four Emperors.

But at the moment, the Beast pirates were in chaos as they were being attacked. Sebas was currently locked in battle with Kaido. Kaido had eaten Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon. This fruit allowed Kaido to turn into an Azure dragon or even turn into a hybrid between humanoid and dragon. Kaido was tall, being 710 cm.

Kaido was one of the strongest people in this world, and at the moment his battle with Sebas wasn't simple. Sebas had enlarged himself to be the same size as Kaido's hybrid form, while also entering his hybrid form. Remember, Sebas was a dragon.

"Just who are you? Someone of your strength and capability, I should have heard of your name before." Kaido said with a smile, but Sebas' face remained calm, showing zero emotions, even as he was overwhelmed by Kaido and had his arms shatter upon contact with Kaido's large, black, spiked kanabo, he showed no emotions as his injuries recovered the next moment.

"I'm just a loyal butler to the supreme ones," Sebas said calmly, Armament and Conqueror Haki covering his fist as he punched forward. yet like before, his fist shattered, while he was sent backward from the clash. but the next moment, Sebas' injuries had recovered

"Worororo! You have such a powerful recovery speed, I want to see how long it can last." Kaido laughed, ignoring the fact his crew was being attacked. Sebas said nothing, he was far weaker than Kaido in everything, he was only keeping up with Kaido by seeing into the future and ensuring he was more than 50 steps ahead of Kaido. Every Punch he threw, was Sebas way of trying to improve himself.

"This isn't fair, I wanted to fight," Yamiko said with a pout looking at everyone who was fighting. She came here wanting to fight Kaido, yet Sebas wouldn't allow her and went to fight, instead, he went on to fight for her,

"My lord, someone of your level shouldn't dirty herself with trash." The Pleiades which were doing a slaughter at the moment said fearfully that she would make a move. Yamiko pouted at them,

"Just who are you!" King, Kaido's right hand said in rage while his sword was swallowed in flames.

"I'm Yuri Alpha, the vice-captain of the "Pleiades Six Stars,"" Yuri said while fixing her glasses. King let out a roar while swinging forward with everything he had. Yuri didn't dare to face the attack head-on and teleported behind King. She punched forward, her fist focused with so much power that space-time bent. but King was fast, quickly transforming into a Pteranodon and shot off, dodging her attack.

"You're fast," Yuri said while placing her palm forward, and as if she touched air, she pushed, and all of a sudden, space and time moved, pushing King away. King at first was confused by her actions, but his Observation Haki suddenly caught something.

He turned, and he saw a werewolf looking straight at him, this was Lupusregina Beta's true form. At that moment, she had a huge smile as she kicked off the ground, shooting into the sky. King snorted at how slow she was, he swung his sword aiming to cut straight through her, but Lupusregina Beta didn't care. She allowed for her body to be cleanly cut through, but as the sword passed, she had already healed. King's eyes widened, and he quickly moved to block her claws... but Lupusregina Beta knew her attack would do no damage to King as she was too weak... it was just to draw his attention.

Yuri appeared above King. King was born with a unique ability, a flame on his back. so long as this flame burned, King pretty much couldn't take damage. but once this flame disappeared, King would gain a huge boost in speed. the flame was currently out, which is why King had moved to block Lupusregina Beta's attack... not knowing that Lupusregina Beta was too weak to harm him.

Boom

Spacetime itself cracked at Yuri's punch, King's pupils disappeared as his body bent like a bow before he was sent rocketing to the ground. King hit the ground with such force that the island shook.

"In a 1v1, I was no match for you..." Yuri said in a soft voice, she didn't care to finish, as she turned towards Lupusregina and bowed slightly.

"Thank you for drawing his attention," She said with a gentle smile, to which Lupusregina Beta just laughed while waving it off. If it meant helping the supreme ones, she would happily get cut over and over. She was mainly a healer above everything else, so her healing capability had reached a level where she instantly healed all damage. Her healing speed and capability were even above the Supreme Ones, 

They didn't waste time as they turned towards Kaido's second in command, Queen. Queen was currently in his Brachiosaurus form, fighting Narberal Gamma and Entoma Vasilissa Zeta.

Entoma had summoned a sea of insects which left Queen screaming in horror and disgust. meanwhile, that horrified Queen was traumatized as these insects were trying to enter his body to eat him from the inside out. the fact these insects also knew Haki and could even use conqueror Haki scared him,

Nareral was just standing aside, ready to support Entoma if she needed help. Entoma seemed to have everything handled with her summons of insects. the countless members of the beast pirates were already fleeing, not wanting to face these insects.

There was a 3rd in command, known as Jack. But he was facing Solution Epsilon and CZ2128 Delta. Solution wouldn't be Solution if she didn't try and use her slime body to swallow Jack and slowly break down Jack in the most painful way possible inside her. Jack didn't have a way to deal with Solution, as she was wrapped all over his body, swallowing and devouring him while CZ just stood at the side to watch...

Boom

Kaido's eyes widened looking at his weapon which fell apart, destroyed by Sebas' attack. He was shocked as he was sure Sebas was too weak to damage him.

Sebas took a deep breath and held out his fist. Kaido blinked for a moment before he jumped towards Sebas. Sebas looked at Kaido, while his mind flashed back to something he had heard.

"Focus, and you shall cut everything before you. don't try and use overwhelming power or speed. be one with your sword and one with the word. you would know what to do." Warrior Takemikazuchi was training Cocytus at the time, but Sebas was there at the time since he was the only supreme one in Nazarick. So, he got to hear those words, and it always made him wonder... could the same concept be used on his fist... and the answer was shockingly yes.

But unlike trying to cut something. Sebas simply took the power behind his fist and had it focus on one spot. overwhelming the said spot. Even if your durability was unmatched, under his fist, what can you do?

Sebas moved, clashing with Kaido. the force from Sebas' fist didn't spread out and instead focused on one spot. this led to Kaido's arm being destroyed, leaving Kaido's eyes widened in shock. 

"Dragon Fist!" Sebas fist was covered with the illusion of a dragon as he punched Kaido's stomach. Kaido's eyes widened before he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, his organs had exploded from that punch.

Kaido fell to the ground, his eyes widened while not understanding how someone who was weak and had to rely on his power to foresee the future to even keep up with him had just defeated him...

Big Mom was one of the 4 emperors, although weaker than Kaido, she was the strongest woman in this world. at the moment, She was on the ground, unable to move while Sinbad walked around. what happened you ask? Devil fruit users couldn't swim, they would just sink. they also feel extremely weak upon contact with water. Sinbad simply had to swallow Big Mom's land in a lot of water... and so an Emperor was defeated.

It was chaos, and honestly, we might be weaker, but our skills made us overpowered. we went all over the world, doing what we wanted but we made sure to avoid the world government as even with our skills, we would lose to them. But I was no longer at the same time as all of them, as I had left, going back in time.

Currently, I sat before a girl who was looking at her funeral. She had tears in her eyes, not wanting to accept her journey had ended like that.

"Become my knight, I can give you a new life. I came to personally get you, to have you become the strongest swordswoman." I said causing her to look at me in shock.

"You can do that?" She asked removing the tears in her eyes, I nodded lightly at her words, and seeing this she got to one knee.

"Before you say anything, you should know that I'm not a good person. In the future, you might have to kill innocents for the bigger picture. I don't see myself as a hero, but I do conquer worlds and bring peace to them. but to conquer sometimes means a few heads have to roll," I said to which she thought for a moment before she nodded.

"I'm still willing." She said to which I smiled lightly before I snapped my finger.

"you need not fear the fact you are a woman and you would be weaker compared to male. genetics and such things will never hinder you. you will have a list of countless abilities. but you should pick one main ability, a jack of all trades, is a master of nothing. if there is no power you like, create your own," I said while she felt her body, shocked at the power flowing through her...
