/*****************************************\
The Skypieans, watching from the safety of nearby buildings, were wide-eyed and slack-jawed, stunned into silence by the sheer spectacle of Kai's magic. The streets glowed under the unrelenting barrage, a stark contrast to the horrified expressions of Bellamy's crew.
From the sidelines, Mikita folded her arms and smirked, though her expression carried a hint of unease. "You know," she said, glancing at Luca, "he really enjoys this way too much."
Luca, shielding his eyes from the bursts of light and debris, shook his head. "It's not normal," he muttered, his tone a mix of awe and exasperation. "This guy… he's got battle lust written all over him."
As the dust began to settle, Kai descended slowly, his magic shimmering faintly around him like a celestial shroud. The people of Angel Island stared in awe and fear, murmuring among themselves.
"Who is this man?" a shopkeeper asked aloud, his voice shaking. "What does someone like him even want here?"
But none dared approach or intervene as Kai's figure loomed over Bellamy, exuding power and unrelenting authority.
From a safe vantage point, Luca glanced at the onlookers and smirked. "Looks like he's got the whole island shaking in their boots."
Bellamy, breathing heavily but still defiant, glared up at Kai. Before he could muster the energy to retort, Kai's voice cut through the tension like a blade.
"Still think you're walking out of this with anything other than regret?"
As Kai stood towering over the battered Bellamy, a thought struck him like a bolt of lightning. His golden eyes narrowed, and his lips curled into a small smirk.
'Wait a minute… this guy can use Haki. Maybe this is my chance.'
The idea simmered in his mind, growing into a calculated risk. 'Haki is only unlocked through intense training or in the heat of battle… I doubt the system will just hand it over to me on a silver platter. If I push myself to the brink, maybe—just maybe—I can force it out. It would be a hell of an asset to my arsenal.'
His decision solidified, and a glint of resolve sparkled in his eyes. Kai took a step forward and raised his voice, taunting Bellamy.
"Alright, come at me, Bellamy!"
Bellamy paused for a moment, confused by the sudden shift in tone. But then his cocky grin returned, his ego overriding any sense of caution. "Hah! You think you're in a position to give me orders?"
Without another word, Bellamy lunged at Kai, his spring-loaded legs launching him forward with blistering speed. His fist connected with Kai's face in a bone-rattling punch, sending Kai hurtling through the air and crashing into a building with an explosion of dust and debris.
Mikita and Luca gasped in shock, watching as the debris settled.
"What is he doing?!" Mikita shouted, her voice tinged with frustration.
Luca, equally perplexed, clenched his fists. "He's not even trying to block! Did he suddenly lose his mind?"
Even Bellamy stood there, visibly puzzled. But his confusion quickly morphed into arrogance. "What's the matter, huh? Out of all those weird abilities you were just showing off?" he sneered. "Guess you're nothing without them, huh?"
Kai staggered to his feet, brushing off the rubble. Blood trickled down the side of his mouth, but his expression remained calm—too calm. His fists clenched at his sides, his staff and enchanted blade abandoned on the ground behind him.
Bellamy took a step forward, launching a barrage of spring-powered punches. Kai dodged, weaving between the attacks with uncharacteristic speed for someone fighting bare-handed. Bellamy's fists whistled through the air, but Kai moved with a calculated purpose, his eyes sharp and his lips curling into an unsettling smile.
"What's wrong, Kai?" Bellamy sneered again. "Out of tricks already?"
Kai let out a low chuckle, his voice dripping with amusement. "Yeah, you got me," he said, sarcasm dripping from every word. "Now come on… use more power. Show me what you've got, Doflamingo's dog."
The taunt hit its mark. Bellamy's smug grin faltered, replaced by a flicker of anger. "Don't you dare talk down to me!" he roared, charging at Kai again, springing through the air with reckless abandon.
Bellamy's eyes flared with fury as he lunged at Kai, his spring-loaded legs propelling him with unmatched speed. His fists collided with Kai's body, striking with the force of a battering ram. Kai grunted with each blow, his muscles taking the hits, but his stance remained firm. As Bellamy pulled back to launch another attack, Kai responded in kind, landing several punches of his own, the force of his strikes sending Bellamy reeling.
The two combatants locked eyes for a brief moment before both launched themselves forward, trading blows with wild abandon. Their fists collided again and again, a blur of force and motion, until finally, with a simultaneous strike, both were sent flying backwards, crashing into debris and rubble.
The city around them trembled from the force of the exchange, dust filling the air. Kai's body slammed into the ground, his chest heaving with labored breaths as he struggled to stand. His vision blurred, but the fire in his eyes never dimmed.
He reached for his flask of Crimson Tears, chugging the contents down in one quick motion, the elixir healing his wounds and giving him the boost he needed. But even as the liquid coursed through him, a bitter frustration gnawed at his mind.
"This is not it!" Kai growled to himself, slamming his fist into the ground. "Damn it, I'm not calm… I don't even know what it should feel like! I need... guidance!"
His voice was filled with both anger and desperation. Kai felt his power thrumming inside of him, but something was missing—a key, a spark. His grip tightened around the handle of his Cleanrot Knight Sword, and his eyes narrowed with renewed determination.
He leapt to his feet, an explosion of energy coursing through his body as he equipped his sword. With a sharp exhale, he launched himself into the air, his movements a blur as he soared toward Bellamy. His staff, still in hand, tapped against the ground midair, sending shockwaves of energy rippling beneath him.
"Gravitational Missile!" Kai yelled, and from his outstretched hand, an orb of dense, crushing gravity materialized in the air. It pulsed with dark energy, and before Bellamy could react, the sphere sucked him in, pulling him toward it with an unrelenting force.
"What the hell is this?!" Bellamy shouted, panic flashing across his face as he struggled to break free from the invisible grip.
Kai's lips curled into a confident smirk, his voice cool and calculating as he hovered above Bellamy. "I'll make sure to send Joker your way as well…"
With a flick of his wrist, Kai descended like a meteor, his Cleanrot sword gleaming in the light. In a blur of deadly precision, he sliced through Bellamy's defenses, thrusting his sword with lightning-fast movements. Each strike was a perfect thrust, swift and lethal, each cut more brutal than the last.
Bellamy's body jerked with the impact, blood staining the air around him as Kai's sword found its mark over and over. The force of the blows sent Bellamy to the ground with a sickening thud, unable to keep up with the brutal assault.
The onlookers in Angel Island gasped at the ferocity of the battle, their eyes wide as they watched Kai move with the same cold, deadly precision he had displayed earlier.
Mikita and Luca exchanged wary glances as they watched the fight unfold.
"Was he pretending to be weak or something ?" Mikita murmured, her voice tinged with concern. "Letting his guard down like that..."
Luca grunted, crossing his arms. "This guy's on another level… I swear, it's like watching a wild beast unleashed."
But Kai was no longer paying attention to them. His focus was solely on Bellamy, his breathing steady but his body thrumming with an electric intensity. The fight had become a means to something greater—something Kai had longed for, something his system might never offer.
As Bellamy collapsed to the ground, bruised and battered, Kai stood tall. His sword was slick with blood, his staff glowing with the faintest pulse of power.
The crowd around them stood in stunned silence, the once-cheering Skypieans now too shocked to speak their gazes wide and uncertain.
Kai stood over Bellamy, breathing deeply, his voice low but filled with quiet satisfaction.
Kai's lips curled into a cold, satisfied smile as he surveyed the unconscious Bellamy. Without a moment's hesitation, he raised his staff high, calling upon the power of Gavel of Haima. A massive pulse of energy erupted from the glintstone hammer, sending Bellamy's body soaring into the air. The force was so intense that Bellamy was lifted off the ground, his body carried effortlessly toward the sea clouds—those vast, misty water like expanses that covered the Skypiean landscape.
Bellamy spiraled upward, his form becoming smaller and smaller, swallowed by the thick white clouds above. Kai watched with cold detachment as Bellamy disappeared into the mist, a tiny speck vanishing from sight. He knew exactly what would happen next—the man would free-fall from those clouds, his body plummeting toward the actual sea below. But that was no longer his concern. Bellamy had chosen his path; the consequences were his alone to bear.
Turning away from the drifting figure, Kai addressed his crew with calm authority. "Board the ship. We're leaving," he commanded, his voice cutting through the tense silence. "We got what we came here for."
Mikita and Luca exchanged looks, still processing the sheer intensity of the battle they had just witnessed. But there was no time for hesitation. Without another word, they nodded and began making their way toward the ship, already prepared for the journey ahead.
As they walked, the Skypieans around them slowly began to stir, whispers filling the air, their eyes wide with both fear and fascination. Kai paid them no mind. He had what he needed, and now it was time to move on.
With one final glance at the quiet town, Kai made his way back toward the ship. The sound of his boots against the dock echoed in the silence, as the crew prepared to leave behind the chaos of Angel Island and return to the vast ocean that awaited them.
