Chapter 202 - Shiki 02.

[Chapter Size: 2100 Words.]

Third Person POV

Calm Belt, First Half of GrandLine.

...

...

Luffy let the power of the Devil Fruit in Ace flow, yellow thunders began to surround it with red color, it was a special fruit that Luffy found for 2 billion in the store and found it quite interesting to fuse it with the sword, his main reason for going to Jaya was to find Teach, seeing Doflamingo and Jack was a bit surprising, but that didn't stop him from enjoying the situation. 

He looked at Shiki quite shocked, looking at the sword strangely. "You have this sword... Do you think you are worthy to wield it, Rookie!" Shiki exclaimed angrily as he released a bit of weakened Conqueror's Haki, due to his current condition. 

"Stop crying over your boyfriend, let's continue the fight, you might even get the sword if you kill me." Luffy smiled as the thunders intensified around the metal. 

Then Luffy saw Shiki making his first move, heading towards him, he lifted his foot and attacked Luffy with his sword instead of the limb. 

*Metal Sound.* 

Luffy just lifted Ace. "Let's see how I am as a swordsman these days..." He murmured and counter-attacked, Shiki did not fall behind. 

Even weakened, Shiki was fast, Luffy and Shiki began to repel each other in the sky, large rocks and islands rushed at Luffy at that moment, but he began to cut the large stones and dodge the islands with his super-speed. 

The battle was a show between two swordsmen, but at one point Luffy decided to use the power of the sword, an island was coming towards him and he moved away from Shiki to concentrate the power of the Paramecia in Ace, the sword began to emit a huge thunder coming from it and spreading to all sides. 

Luffy leaned the sword back and launched it forward releasing its power. 

"What is this?" Shikii was scared for a moment, feeling quite a danger coming from it and got out of the way. 

The explosion flew like a lightning bolt to the island, it was as fast as lightning, when it reached the island, a spectacle of destruction happened, with a flash covering the entire sky, a scarlet electrical explosion exploded from the island, which grew devastating all the land it touched while the inhabitants and animals on that island tried to escape the attack, but it was too late. 

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM* 

The explosion then covered the entire island, affecting everything around. Shiki was thrown through the sky while stabilizing himself, when he stopped, he looked at the immense clouds of dust with red lightning appearing around. 

"What is this?!" the people around the island were shocked trying to protect themselves from the gigantic explosion happening at that moment. 

They became even more alarmed when they saw just debris in the air of what would be a huge island until a while ago. 

"He... destroyed the entire island?" Shiki could not be more shocked. 

His gaze returned to where Luffy should be, but he was no longer there and feeling his presence, he was even more shocked that Luffy was next to him. 

"It was a good fight Shiki, but I am stronger than you, but thank you for giving me an opportunity to use this power on your islands instead of an island in the lower sea, it would be quite problematic." Luffy commented casually and advanced against Shiki. 

He tried to defend himself while Luffy continued moving his sword quickly. But Shiki began to retreat as Luffy was gaining the upper hand. 

*Cut* In a moment, Luffy hit Shiki from the shoulder to his waist with a diagonal cut. 

"AHHHH!" He screamed as the blood spread. Shiki looked at him with clenched eyes and teeth. 

Luffy said nothing and continued advancing. Shiki was even more weakened while using his swords in place of legs to try to defend himself, but Luffy hit him at one point in the heart. 

"!" Shiki looked at the sword embedded in his chest feeling a lot of pain as he began to feel his life draining. 

"Shihahahahaha. You really beat me, kid." He suddenly started laughing looking at Luffy, but he didn't seem to resist anymore at that moment. 

"Who would have thought that I, the golden lion, would die to an unknown in the middle of nowhere, a shame the world will not know of our fight." He lamented, as always, Shiki was eccentric and always imagined a grandiose death. 

"I understand, and I respect you for that, you were a great pirate in your era, however, times change and a new generation emerges to cover the old." Luffy said in a somewhat melancholic tone.

"A new generation emerges..." Shiki commented while coughing up blood. He looked at Luffy with a gleam in his eyes in his final moments. "You said you plan to conquer all the seas? You want to be greater than Roger?" He asked.

"I will surpass the Pirate King, no, I will destroy the World Government and declare myself the emperor of all seas," Luffy commented. He planned to be the emperor of the sea, as the supreme pirate, but he did not have the ambition to control the world as the government does, he just wants to free the countries and let them be independent, but let the world know that the sea belongs to him.

"Shihahahahha!" Shiki started laughing again. "That's very good, I hope that as the man who defeated me, you achieve your goals, boy. My era is over." He gave a final statement while pushing the sword with his body to fall onto an island below.

"Don't worry, I'll achieve that goal... And I'll take your fruit too, the world will never forget the power of the golden lion while one of my crewmates has its power," Luffy commented while watching the pirate fall, he noticed a small smile on Shiki as he finally died after hearing this.

Luffy sighed and took his attention from the falling pirate, looking towards a cloud in the distance. "Bepo! Come here!" His voice was amplified and it didn't take long for a white ball with a purple jumpsuit and the symbol of the straw hats on his clothes to arrive close by while dodging all the floating debris.

"Captain! Are you okay?" Bepo asked cautiously, he was a bit scared of his captain after seeing him destroying an entire island with that attack, even Bepo at a distance had difficulty stabilizing.

"I'm fine. Take this and eat it," Luffy threw a Devil Fruit that he had just bought in the store for 6 billion.

"What is this, captain?!" Bepo asked, looking at the fruit.

"Just eat it, we don't have much time," Luffy commanded again.

"I'm sorry!" Bepo yelled and ate the entire fruit, afraid of the captain.

"What a horrible taste!" He shouted while holding his throat with disgust.

"You just ate the Fuwa Fuwa no Mi. You've received the power of Shiki," Luffy said with satisfaction.

"What?! I have the power of the legendary Golden Lion?!" Bepo couldn't believe those words.

Luffy was going to respond, but suddenly, a thunderous sound started from all sides, the islands were losing the effect of Shiki's power as soon as he died.

"What's happening?!" Indigo shouted alarmed on the main island.

"The islands are falling!" Scarlet shouted alarmed, looking around.

"We're going to die!" A soldier screamed, running in fear.

"Where is the captain, do something!" Another said.

"If the islands are falling, it means Shiki is dead..." Shiki's Doctor commented.

"That's impossible!" Scarlet shouted.

"Did you see that explosion that wiped out an entire island? The person who killed Shiki is really powerful... now we're going to die," the Doctor commented, already accepting his fate.

Meanwhile, on several islands, animals ran from one side to the other looking for shelter, but they were in a situation where nothing could be done.

"Captain!!! What should we do?!" Bepo shouted alarmed, looking at the islands starting their free fall.

"You need to use your power, Bepo, I will help you lift all the islands," Luffy commented, grabbing Bepo's jumpsuit while activating his speed 70 times, disappearing the next moment.

He made his way to all the islands making Bepo touch and all the pieces of land while the islands.

"What should I do, captain?!" Bepo, even touching all the islands, was still lost.

"You have to try to use your power, you must have received something in your subconscious to use the ability, try to do it," Luffy instructed, and Bepo closed his eyes concentrating, suddenly, all the falling islands began to slow down until they stabilized.

"This..." Shiki's Doctor looked around, stunned as everything seemed stable again. He was sure that Shiki had died for the effect to stop. 

"Wait! Does this mean Captain Shiki is still alive?!" Indigo shouted with joy. 

"The captain is alive!!" The men celebrated after those words. 

"Shiki is dead." A voice emerged behind the men at that moment, and they saw Luffy next to Bepo. 

Everyone immediately pointed their weapons at them, and Luffy used his Conqueror's Haki to bring everyone to their knees. 

"I'll give you a chance." Luffy lifted the dead body of Shiki and threw it in front of all of them. "You join my fleet, or you will be thrown off this island." Luffy smiled like a demon, even Bepo beside him was frightened. 

"What... The captain died..." Indigo said, crying while looking at the body of his captain. 

"It seems I was right..." the Doctor commented. 

"What will we do..." the men murmured while they were on their knees, unable to muster the will to stand. 

"Anyway... I'll give you one day to think about it." Luffy said, crossing his arms and looked at the scientist who conducted experiments for Shiki, where he had modified all the animals on the islands. "You're the doctor who created these animals, right?" Luffy asked. 

"Yes..." The man spoke submissively, still under the effect of Luffy's Conqueror's Haki. 

"Well, I want to see your research; I'm quite interested in it." Luffy commented. He could use these animals to train his crew; they would be perfect for it, and he could talk to Chopper, a drug specialist, to have him further refine these animals. They would be good for training and even for his future army. 

Luffy turned his attention to Bepo. "Take the islands to Skypiea. I'm going to make a call before I start looking into the research." Luffy commented, following the doctor inside the facilities after Luffy released him from his pressure. Meanwhile, he was calling Hancock to schedule their meeting to see what that woman wanted so much to meet him for, hoping she was missing them, and they would have to solve it with many hours of sex. 

*Katcha!* 

"Hello!" Luffy spoke. 

"Luffy!" Hancock exclaimed like a love-struck girl, before her voice changed to someone more serious. "It's you..." She said now as if he were just anyone, and Luffy just scratched his head trying to understand why she was acting like this. 

"Well, you wanted to meet with me; I'm still in the Calm Belt." He said. 

"Yes! Let's meet!" She returned to her excited tone. 

Luffy and she scheduled a place while Bepo steered the islands to that position. Hancock's mood changed, sometimes seeming like a love-struck girl, other times like someone arrogant. Luffy didn't know how to deal with her or her real intentions for the meeting but hung up the Den Den Mushi to meet her soon. 

"He accepted! I can't wait to tell him we'll have children! We're going to get married!" Hancock screamed in her cabin while her sisters still looked at her, lost. She had been destroying the room since Luffy talked to her days ago because she was in front of the Den Den Mushi this whole time waiting for his call. However, they still looked at her strangely because their sister seemed like two people at the same time. She switched personalities all the time while talking with Luffy, while the pirate went to see Shiki's research and the Doctor, unaware that he would receive the biggest shock of his life in the coming days.
