Chapter 38: Parting with Past

'This feeling...' Sanemi thought to himself as his observation haki picked up something.

'Fulamese.....' Sanemi thought as he disappeared in a burst of speed.

----------

In a ship near the Mary Geosei Fulamese along with Garp, Sengoku and the seven warlords had arrived in the battle.

All of them glanced towards the peak before Fulamese created a wind current they used to glide towards the top of Mary Geosei.

'I will complete my duties before it becomes incontinence to IM-sama' Fulamese thought to himself. The last time he was excused as IM-sama was still alright with the development but he is not to make any mistakes today.

'Sanemi...it seems we will meet again...' Sengoku thought.

'Ace...why...why do you keep coming back...' Garp thought with a clenched fist.

'It seems my wish to test you will be fulfilled today' Mihawk thought.

'Luffy-sama...I hope you are alright' Hancock thought.

'This is going to be fun. Fufufufuufufufu~'

'To think I would be pulled in a war so soon' Law thought as he hid his eyes using his hat.

----------

"Everyone get ready!! The main event is here!!" Sanemi announced loudly as the Yuyami army and him killed or knocked out almost 80% of the marines who arrived.

Yuyami army too lost quite a number of men but their number was not to be ignored yet. In addition, all the Commanders and Heavenly Kings were still alive with some injuries but were still in fighting conditions

The one who could fight could do nothing but support Kuzan as he tried to hold the Yuyami army back as much as he could. Regardless of Kuzan's efforts marines continued to lose their numbers.

"Sanemi-sama should we not end this? surely we can kill him along with the marines present here in no time" Adam asked as approached Sanemi who was sitting on a stone watching Yuyami army's fodder dwindle the marines.

"They are not the real opponents...The real battle has just arrived...be prepared and follow the plan if you wish to survive this" Sanemi said as he pulled out Aliyeh from his back and Enten manifested on his other arm.

With that Sanemi stood up and jumped over the struggling marine army just in time to intercept the Warlords, Marines, and Fulamese. "Raaaahhhhhh!!" With a loud roar, Sanemi slashed down towards Fulamese with full intent to slice him down.

Fulamese noticed Sanemi used his quake powers and wind powers to slow down Sanemi but Sanemi managed to reach him regardless. Aliyeh clashed with Fulamese's Armament haki as both and he and Sanemi came to a standstill.

"Fulamese..." Sanemi muttered as he stared right into Fulamese's eyes with nothing but intent to rip him apart. While Akainu was the one who killed his friends...Fulamese was the one who stalled for him.

"I have learned your weakness well and good" Sanemi said as he jumped a little and kicked Fulamese away.

'His strength and speed have improved remarkably! how is that even possible!' Fulamese thought to himself as he stood back again trembling a little under Sanemi's impact.

"Fist of Love!!" Garp yelled as he charged towards Sanemi and hit his head with the full force of his armament-covered blow. Sanemi did not move as he easily endured the blow.

"This is out of you guys league...will give one warning," Sanemi said as he turned towards Sengoku, Garp, and the Warlords.

The jet black tomoe in his eyes slowly merged with his pupils as a new pinwheel-like design appeared in them. Sanemi was now using his Mangekyo Sharingan and he had no intention of stopping it.

"Scram" Sanemi coldly commanded.

'those eyes...those do not belong to his devil fruit...yet they...are so...menacing' Law thought as he could nothing but tremble under the pressure of those eyes.

Sanemi said nothing as he turned his attention back towards Fulamese and rushed towards him. 'I will not waste time any longer...' Sanemi thought to himself as a hollow mask appeared on his face.

With his newfound speed and strength, Sanemi again confronted Fulamese and kicked him on the chin. Sanemi then grabbed Fulamese's Leg and wildly swung him to the ground.

A silver-blue hue with a touch of gold covered his fists as he threw Aliyeh in the air and smashed Fulamese's face. The force of his fist sent Fulamese straight in the ground as continued to dig deeper from the impact.

Grabbing Aliyeh Sanemi charged it with his Armament and Conqueror's haki as he jumped in the air. Sanemi then positioned both Aliyeh and Enten horizontally.

"Kagutsuchi" Sanemi muttered as he swung both of his blades with full force towards the hole he had created.

A flaming dragon appeared from his blades as it headed towards the hole. The dragon was made from crimson and golden flames as it melted anyone and anything in its way to Fulamese.

Fulamese opened his eyes as he slowly recovered from the power of the impact Sanemi produced. He came to his senses as he recalled what just happened

'how did the brat get so strong out of nowhere...and why were there so many of the marine bodies drained? I must report his secrets once I get out of here' Fulamese thought to himself as he stood up.

Slowly the temperature of the hole increased as golden light started to appear in Fulamese's vision. 'Golden Flames!' Fulamese thought to himself as he quickly used his fruit powers to release a wave of ice and water towards the flames.

The ice and water immediately evaporated as the flames hit Fulamese head-on.

"Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!" Fulamese's painful shouts could be heard from outside the hole as Sanemi stood there in silence. His gaze fixated on the hole as no one dared to challenge him.

Sanemi then raised his hand as lava formed above it. Slowly the lava started to rotate at high speeds forming a Rasenshurken.

"I see that you are still alive somehow...I did expect immortality but you cannot live when there is nothing to live off..." Sanemi muttered as he slowly started to float.

The Rasenshuriken had boiling flares around it as it started to et larger and larger. Suddenly the Large Rasenshuriken started to compress until it looked like a small ball.

"Lava Style: Blooming Lotus" Sanemi muttered as he let the Spiraling ball of lava naturally descend deeper in the hole.

"For as much as I wish to see you suffer making sure your end was by me is good enough..." Sanemi muttered as he gave the golden glowing hole the last look before turning away and joining the Yuyami army in the war.

Fulamese was getting out of the hole using his wind abilities and Geppo suddenly noticed a golden ball heading for him. 'The brat is not stopping...it is a small one this time I will take this head-on and then sneak on him' Fulamese thought as he headed straight for the golden orb not fearing death.

The Blooming Lotus came in contact with Fulamese as it simply was absorbed in his skin. 'did not even tingle' Fulamese thought as he continued his way up as he left dust particles behind him.

Fulamese had yet to realize he was already dead.

--------

'Fulamese lost his life? for being arrogant and weakest he did had it coming.' IM thought as he sat on his throne.

'I should gather the rest of the elders and replace Fulamese as quick as possible' IM thought as he sent out a pure white pigeon from his hands the exited the room through the door.

'Eight centuries...and an elder dies...how pitiful' IM concluded his thoughts as he rested his head on his palms.

Suddenly four shadows appeared in the room as the door behind them closed. In an instant, the shadows kneeled as they revealed themselves to be the rest of the four elders.

"Fulamese one of the elders has lost his life...do what you wish with that information," IM said as he disappeared from the throne room.

"IM-sama...was definitely pissed," Aarin said as he slowly stood up and fixed his glasses.

"For one of the five elders to die...we must join the war at once we cannot have someone like him to threaten IM-sama's position," Corroson said as he loosened his tie as let out a breath.

"IM-sama wants action...we will see this one together, with all four elders present we will surely bury the matter," Corroson said as he too stood up along with the rest of the elders as they too disappeared from the room.

-------

Sanemi parried his blows with Sengoku and Garp as they clashed on using Armament haki over and over again. Despite thier strength, it was no doubt that Sengoku and Garp have become old.

'hmm? rest four are here as well? in that case I will end this' Sanemi thought as his observation haki picked up the four elders rapidly approaching the battlefield.

'System...consume all the demon blood in the inventory'
