Flame solidification...

Joshua did not look back as he went to the woods, what they can achieve in the 2 year to come is left to their determination and hard work they put in. Being weak in the world of one piece is a crime, many things can happen and you will not have control over it because your too weak fight back.

Laffitte and Guzen have realized it, some simple beast on the island they have no power to go up against and Joshua would not just carry them under his wing like that. They must find their breakthrough, must must have a resolute heart, if they don't want be a weak individual, if they don't want to be a person who numbered among the many who have died in these terrible waters.

They must become stronger and survive under the thousands of powerful beast which roam the island because he would not save them if they can't battle through and out under the ever predatory of the many beasts. As he walks his body gentle pass through the forestry, many thoughts flash through his mind as his he direct his calm face ahead of him.

Thud...

A huge elephant which was over 15m tall and grey brownish skin, strode quickly in a narrow path. Each time he moves, the earth vibrated, anywhere he passed through many tress were uprooted, smashed pieces. His eyes glowed with brown vigor as he looked on the petite figure with a murderous gaze.

Roar...

He went on two feet as he railed in the air, he blew his trunk sternly as he slammed down his two front feet.

Joshua who was to be squashed ,stood calmly where he was as he look at this.

Now with him leaving them, want he must do is now strengthen himself, so he can carry the banner of the Black flame throughout the entire seas.

His eyes flashed a little as he drew his blade, spark of of black light was formuluted as he pruned his blade upward. A few flashing light twinkled as his blade lacerated through the middle section of the elephant's trunk, right to the back. The creature highlighed the sky with sticky red blood, it fell but none touched him as he coated himself with his black flames.

He continued his walk, as he walks he travels through the glowed eyes of many beast in the dark. The roars still echoed in the sky but that still did not bother him as he made his way to a somewhat open lot. The gentle winds passed by him as he sat in the middle of the opened area.

"Its time to have the real development the black flame fruit," Joshua thought.

Back then, in the over three month period, Joshua has never actually grow his flame fruit, in such short amount of time he didn't have any real development taken place. But now is different with him stumbling upon this island, which he doesn't know if its coincidence or not. With him giving everyone a 2 year period, he can now dive into the many abilities that the fruit can thrive into.

He has many ideas how to fully expand the fruit's potential for his use and now with the right time at hand, it time to make such ideas come into being.

What is known about fire is that, it a mixture of hot gases which flows around in the atmosphere and although the black fire is not fire itself the same details still apply to it. Fire is not liquidized thing, it doesn't fall under solid nor is it technically gas, but persons, things, etc can pass through it. This also goes for Joshua's fruit, his flames might be hot and he can also surround himself with it which many persons would not dare to get close to.

However, it doesn't mean that everyone in the one piece world would stop because of that, there is Aokiji who can freeze it, Akainu who can for now burn it away and there are strong body persons like garp who can walk right through it. Which now puts them in getting close to his body. What he is really saying is that, Joshua wants the flame to be an extension of his body. He wants to change the gas like state of his flame to a more firm, rigid thing.

"Flame solidification," Joshua eyes flashed, with this he can let his flames be out of a jelly like way to hard congealed state. What he has in mind, is to turn his flame into solid state then make it into an body extension. Let be his extended arm, a sword, let it be his absolute defense and best offense in anything encountered situation. He can simply let any part of its body section to appear and deal with to the enemy's offense.

So he will solidify his flame into a armor.

Yes an armor, in this state not only will his attack and defense skyrocket, it will also be the state where the heat of the flame is the highest and any other thing which follows.

His flames would be at its peak power in such a form.

Thinking of this he got up from where he was, then stood up, the winds lightly blow his cloak and grass as it disperses in the surrounding. His body began to repeatedly be burnt until it extended a few metres from him, the black flames swirled around him weirdly. It shoot straight in to the sky becoming the only source of black and dark entity.

In the swirled flames, their Joshua stood with is cloak flustering and his eyes closed, in his extreme deep concentrated state. The flames which looked jellified started to become a solid state, the seemingly alive flame started to compress and congulate. The body of the flame started to turn to a form a black metal like armor, at the side and the front three broad thicken plates came into being.

Then appeared chains which moved in a interwined format to lock them, the armour began to form as the flames interlocked multiply times strengthen the its defense power. In a downward and widen V format, so the flames shaped itself, the black fire then extended out two arms. It wrapped several times until few spikes appeared on the buffed shouders and the hands which were made arched like a creatures hand.

In that same breath, the helmet constructed, the flame created a cone like head, layers of hard black vents appeared at its side and at the top, five short curved knife like things formed.

The 25m high flame armour which stood around Joshua's body, released complete terror breath, the air around it was heavily dark. The negative, dark majesty that came off of it was of a cold and creepy vibe. Joshua 's who has just finish condensing the armour opened his eyes and nodded in satisfication.

"Lets test it out the power of..."

" the flame armour..."

The armour shook a little, the dark flames litted up from the shrap eyes of the helmet, flames burst from it head and the other parts which were not connected went up in flames. The right hand moved faintly, the a jelly like flame blade was formed until transformed into a 2m long slant pointy blade.

He raised it into the air, and the combustions of flames darken the sky, the horrifying latent heat boiled the atmosphere as the black flame ascends the air. Waves of steams distorted the space as the seemingly like ghosts screamed in the sky. He descended the blade and flames of despair cut through the air as it falls to the ground.

booommm...

The sword hit the ground, causing it to tremble, the winds which scattered in a sphere slapped the trees, shrub, in succesion. The ground then started to rupture into countless, the flames which resided on the blade shoot straight into the sky as as it spreads on the ground in a spider web form. The broken earth pieces which have flown into the earth burn rapidily as the flames passed by.

The living trees which were in the surrounded withered before the flames even reached, the monsters which were hiding nearby wailed in pain as the the black flames scorch it nothinngness. The ground continued to be destroyed by the astonishing power from the blade creating everything in its liking.

Then everything calm down after while, and what was scene was only destruction and a flaming furnace. The heat in the air scorched the atmospheric pressure, the land which was reformed continue to be burnt by the eternal flame, many dead beast were burnt to ashes. The trees, small poodles, shrubs where no longer there leaving the intense burning of the flame.

The shockwave and destruction spreads over hundreds of metres, killing destroyed everything in its path, the power was so big that even Guzen and Laffitte who were far out in the distance felt the rush of the winds and the sky scorching.

The weird black flames which moved distortedly blacken the whole area, the chaotic and negative roam through the air howled crazily as it released its tormented aura.

Except for the one figure in the center, everything else was either incinerated or consumed by the black flames.
