Chapter 45

West side battlefield,

In the West side, Izumi is walking through the lines of marines who are falling like puppets and leaving a river of Blood from their cut neck or limbs. She is absolutely dominating the battlefield like a grim reaper. Every time she swing her weapon in a circle, more than three people drops dead but, Izumi do not care for them are continue walking. Some Rear admiral or Vice-admiral put up a fight. But, it lasted nothing more than two minutes before they lost a limb or two. Izumi is not finishing off the people because her objective just to rampage and create chaos. So, she is leaving the injured alive as that way, it will create more chaos after her rampage is over.

Morgiana has already taken down the four giants by hitting their vital points and using short sword to cut their tendons. She also leave the giants alive as Izumi is doing and right now, she is rampaging among the marines who cannot even withstand one full out kick or punch from her. The same as Izumi, the rear admirals and vice-admirals shows some resistance but, they were no match for Morgiana who is using the 'breath' and every martial arts she knew to destroy a human.

On the side is Edel who is putting wounds after wounds on Kizaru. It is evident that, she was not using her full speed because right now, Kizaru cannot even escape using his DF. That is true because Edel is learning. She is learning in a monstrous speed through every exchange of sword between she and Kizaru. Moreover, she is getting insight about her own swordsmanship in this middle of fight that, the only reason she has not kill Kizaru is because of that reason. Her raw talent and learning speed, on top of her inborn strength and speed is making Kizaru cry enough to wish that, she finishes him soon.

'WHy the hell am I so unlucky. Monster after Monster in less than two week. Shit. Are monster like her growing on trees nowadays? I just became alive just a day ago and now, I am in the middle of the battle again. Ouch, my whole body hurts. God, please kill me already.' (Kizaru)

Edel knows that, Kizaru is wounded heavily and he is only holding out this far because of his DF ability. So, seeing the weak will inside Kizaru's eyes, Edel decided to finishes him. But, just before she can cut Kizaru's neck, a bullet was fired to her from behind which makes her dodge to the side. Kizaru was alive again after going to the jaws of death for second time in two week.

Edel glance at the ground where there is blood before looking at the person who fired it at her. It is not only her who is looking at the new person, Izumi and Morgiana are also looking at the new person with their guards up. The new person that arrives at the battle of West side is a thin man with dark red blood hair which is cut in short. His marine uniform is neat and tidy with a color of Red in the edges of the coat. Meaning, he is an admiral. The three girls of course, instantly recognize the man and Izumi mutters,

"Admiral Delrote." (Izumi)

"Yep. That is me. Oh my, it is an honor for me to hear a beautiful girl remember me. If I remember right, you are Nase Izumi, right? Nicknamed 'Blue flash' with a bounty of 800 million. God, that is so high for a young woman of your beauty. Oya, there are also two beautiful girls here. My, my, It seems the Sunset pirates have many beautiful woman and girls. It is tempting me to join your crew." (Delrote)

"We don't accept man on board. Especially, ones who are lustful." (Izumi)

"OH, You don't say. Then, please sure to entertain me, okay. The last girl with twin pigtail run away before I can finish her but, if it is you three, I feel like I will get myself a new pet." (Delrote)

The three girls frown hearing the admiral's words and soon Grayfia's voice can be heard in their ear which is coming from the communicator connected to the control room.

'Krul was hurt badly because of his DF ability. Be careful, he has the ability to control blood. It is most likely logia too. Do not let his blood hit you. And, kill him at all cost.' (Grayfia)

The three girls become determined hearing the order and the battle between the four begins with a wide area attack from the blood scythe of the Admiral Delrote. The aura from the four people is making the marines fall back and so, a clearing is created which makes the fight of the four people became easier.

On the Battlefield of South side,

Senjumaru and Xuelan are locked in combat with Sengoku and Aokiji. The ten members of Akatsuki are still rampaging in the ranks of marine and their rampage is unstoppable which is making Sengoku pissed off. His attack on Senjumaru became heavier who is blocking or parrying with seven hands from her back easily. Till now, both she and Sengoku has not gotten serious as they do not want to destroy their foothold yet but, Sengoku decided that enough is enough and uses his DF ability, immediately cracking the ice underneath.

"OH, The Buddha is getting serious, huh? You guys, switch formation C." (Senjumaru)

While putting her hands together in a praying position, Senjumaru issue orders to her elite members who immediately change their formation from attacking weak marines to supporting Xuelan's fight with Aokiji from afar using guns. After recalling the report from earlier, Sengoku shouts with authority,

"Everyone, get away from here go support the west side. The north side is already down. So, focus on surpassing the forces on West side" (Sengoku)

The battlefield gets more room with the thousands of soldiers marching towards the West side of Castaway island. Now, on the South battlefield, only Sengoku and Aokiji are left to take down Senjumaru and her elite members of Akatsuki. Sengoku sees Senjumaru putting her hands together so, while preparing his own palm strike, he says to her,

"DO not expect mercy from me after killing hundreds of marine, you fox." (Sengoku)

"Ara~ Who told you that, I am praying? I am just taking some time to listen to some things, you see. Now, sorry to keep you waiting. Shinsu Senju!!" (Senjumaru)

A huge golden figure appeared form behind that is nearly the same size as Sengoku who is now a golden Buddha. The figure behind Senjumaru is also a Buddha but, hers has many hands protruding from the the back with two sets of joints in each of the hands. Her Buddha version is exactly like the one Hashirama Senju from 'Naruto' anime produced with his wood release. The only differences are that, hers is small in size and it is made form her DF ability. Sengoku eyes widens and with a disbelief voice, he asked,

"Nani! What kind of fruit did you eat? The same type as mine?" (Sengoku)

"No, No, What I ate is a fruit called, Nui Nui no Mi, which enables me to make clothes faster. See?" (Senjumaru)

Sengoku looks down at himself where Senjumaru is pointing and see himself wearing some sort of golden cloth like his skin. Sengoku didn't even notices it. Looking back at Senjumaru, Sengoku then notices a small spear in Senjumaru's hands which he did not see earlier. But, before he could say anything else,

"My name Senjumaru, 'Thousand hand' is not for boast, you see. My reputation is built on fast work and I have made you a nice Yukata using my own fabric. Wait, if you are a Buddha, it would be - Well, whatever. Though, I advice you Admiral-san, please do not takes off the clothes unless you want to gets hurt." (Senjumaru)

"Na! You snake woman!!" (Senjumaru)

Sengoku angrily curses and he was about to tear the cloth he is wearing. Senjumaru sighs and pull her spear a little before many spikes assaults Sengoku from inside the clothes, making it expands outward.

"Nugh." (Sengoku)

"You see, to forget to remove the needle after tailoring, would be an incurable vice of mine. It was great fig- !!" (Senjumaru)

Senjumaru was about to finish Sengoku off by piercing his head with her spear but, before she do, she notices something, her golden spikes are not penetrating Sengoku's skin. Not even a single one of the spike which she produced from her DF ability. Sengoku grabs both side of the cloth made by Senjumaru before tearing it to pieces.

"You are fast. I will give you that. But, this weak spikes will not go past my defense ever. Nice try though. Now, Die." (Sengoku)

Sengoku do a palm strike straight at Senjumaru who clicks her tongue in annoyance. But, she gathers her hands again and manipulate the hands of the Buddha behind her back to meet Sengoku's attack head-on. A golden sphere engulf Senjumaru and attack her with shock wave but, invisible cloak that she made with her DF, around her whole body protect her from it while the hundreds of golden palm strike of her Buddha meet with Sengoku's golden sphere, making a huge shockwave that spread through the surrounding and makes the fight between Akatsuki and Aokiji to stops for a moment.

*Boom*

The force from the collision of the two Buddha finally break the ice floor to pieces. The two of them gets away from each other for a moment and stands on the hige pieces of Ice. Senjumaru clicks her tongue in annoyance before making some hand signs and claps her hands together again, which makes the Golden Buddha behind her to get bigger and the hundreds of hands combine with each other to form only five sets of hands but, their size are now, the same as Sengoku. Sengoku jumps seeing the new Buddha behind her back and strike Senjumaru from above. Senjumaru protect herself again before retaliating with a similar attack with ten palms.

*BOOM*

The Golden palms strike and this time some of the palms hit Sengoku on his huge body but, it do not hurt Sengoku, much less damage him. Sengoku scoffs seeing the strength behind Senjumaru and attack with both hands.

"Hmph. So, in the end, they are all sets of dummy hands made from you ability. They will never come up to the level of the real one like this." (Sengoku)

'Che. It seems hands alone will not be enough to penetrate his defense. Then!' (Senjumaru's thought)

Senjumaru has already adapted to the fight and just after Sengoku attack her, Senjumaru aim her spear straight at Sengoku's heart. But, Sengoku whose perception are nearly perfect around 50 meter around him could see the spear and catch it with his right hand while the other hand is dealing with the attack from Senjumaru. And so, the battle continue again with Senjumaru using her 'Imperial series; Spear', given by Embra, between the palm strikes. Sengoku is also having his hand full with the spear attack that comes out in an unexpected timing and the attacks from the ten hands of Senjumaru's Buddha. Palms, fists and elbow strikes of the two Buddha connect with each other and shock wave alone from the collision destroy the ice floor.

The battle between them become more intense while the battle on the West side also become intense and this is when Embra strike the East side.
