Massacre

A/N: The Paramecia fruit is Recycle Recycle fruit, it allows the user to recycle excess energy from attacks/anything (Perfect counter for brawlers like Garp)

Logia is Flame Flame Fruit Model: Black Flame - self-explanatory

I'll tally the votes and make him eat the fruit next chapter

(Kairo's POV)

I couldn't choose.

Both of them could have good abilities or weak abilities.

I would probably be able to make use of my weak abilities, and I can work with that.

It's just that I prefer a strong ability from the start so I can evolve it faster and further.

I decided not to choose for now, so I closed the chest and carried it carefully.

I Kamisori'd to the other ship and planned to do the same thing.

This time, it seems like the Vice-Captain was on the ship.

The Vice-Captain's name was Robb the Executioner, and it seemed like he was at a Rear-Admiral's level, and well, he carried a sword.

'He also a 60 million berries bounty. I guess that's enough money for me.'

I pulled out my dagger and reinforced it with Armament Haki, planning to decapitate the Vice-Captain as fast as I could, hoping to preserve the quality of the sword that he's holding.

He looks likes someone who has sportsmanship, waiting for me to draw my dagger instead of attacking the moment I landed on the boat.

"My name is Robb, and my nickname is 'The Executioner'. I will execute you in the name of our captain, Borax The Ripper!"

"My name is Jeff."

He got into a stance, waiting for me to make the first move.

'Alright... I'll do it then.'

I used Soru to decapitate him in an instant.

'That's it?'

I believed that I had killed him.

As I relaxed my stance, my Observation Haki picked up on a presence behind me.

I used Kamisori to get as far away as possible, and in my place, the wooden planks were cut neatly in half.

'He's alive?'

I used [Rokushiki: Rankyaku Gattling Gun] to 'kill' him one more time.

This time, I used Observation Haki to the max.

'He teleported away? No...it's as if he disappeared. So... an illusion-type Devil Fruit?'

I got a plan.

I used Observation Haki to try and find anything worthwhile on this ship, and I found it in what seems like to be his room.

I destroyed the walls and corridors leading to the room, then I found a sword underneath his bed.

'Deja vu?'

Anyways, I grabbed the sword and heard an angered shout behind me, "NOOOO!!! GIVE ME BACK LUCILE, YOU BASTARD!"

I see... this is a sword precious to him.

I was planning on exchanging this for Military Merits, but it seems like I can exchange his head and the sword he's holding for them instead.

I threw the 'Lucile' off the ship, then he made a desperate jump for it.

It seems like he's using his real body to try and catch 'Lucile', so I cut off his head the moment he jumped off the ship.

This time, he died for real.

I picked up 'Lucile' and his sword then grabbed his head as well, and I Kamisori'd back to the Marine warship, then what I saw... was a massacre.

Borax went all out and ripped everything apart, including the recruits, pirates, and instructors. Zephyr could defend himself with Armament Haki, but he couldn't defend anyone else.

After Borax exhausted his power, Zephyr teleported next to him and quite literally ripped him apart.

Zephyr looked around with a desperate look in his eyes, trying to look for an intact body to return to families, and I descended to the ships to look for any survivors.

"Goddammit..."

There were no intact bodies.

Everyone were ripped apart, intestines laid on the floors.

He truly deserved the nickname 'Borax the Ripper'.

Zephyr looked down with a sorrowful look, then he asked me, "Did you find anything worthwhile?"

I thought about it for a moment, then replied, "I found two swords that are likely of the Skillful Grade or higher."

"That's not enough to offset the lives lost from this expedition... nothing will ever be enough."

Two Devil Fruits were, but I wasn't going to tell him that.

There were no appraisers, no recruits, nobody...except for me and Zephyr.

I looked at the remains of the other ships and concluded that there was nothing worthwhile.

Then I looked at the remains of the bodies, then I saw a scroll peeking out from a pirate's breast pocket.

I opened up the scroll, lo and behold, it was a treasure map.

The scroll was in poor condition, and coincidentally, the direction they were heading in was not to the New World, but the marked island.

I hid the scroll inside my coat before Zephyr could see it, then I walked over to him.

Zephyr was kneeling and searching through bodies to try and find someone alive, even though we both knew that no one was.

"Instructor Zephyr... let's go back. We must at least notify the families of the deceased."

Zephyr nodded and I steered the ship, changing the destination of Marineford.

...

Zephyr was blamed by the family of the deceased and was suspended as the Head Instructor by Fleet Admiral Sengoku.

I also faced a bit of backlash, mostly because 'Why did my baby die while you survive?' or some things like that.

I do not care.

I got the Devil Fruits.

That's all that matters.

I headed to my room and opened up the chests, admiring the Devil Fruits.

Now... which one should I eat?

A/N: Now that you guys know the Devil Fruits and its usage, choose!
