Child Of God

Inside the castle of Kurama's crew, a portal opened up and five people walked out. The leading figure was a blue coloured woman with a confident smile on her face. The people around her were all taller than her, except for one little blonde boy.

The men that followed her all naturally surrounded her when they walked. They always walked with her in the centre and they made sure that she was always the most protected individual among them. And this was common among organizations with classic hierarchy.

"Welcome home gentlemen. And to you, Acnologia, welcome to your new home. A brand new world to wreak havoc upon." Esdeath said to the man with long blue hair and a muscular physique. But nothing seemed to have been picked up by him. He was just staring in one direction with a strange expression.

"Acnologia? What's the matter with you?" Esdeath asked and stretched her body. Now that she was back in her Esdeath form she felt like a real woman again.

"What have I become? I feel the life signs of a dragon to the north. He is the strongest dragon in this world. B.u.t.t why do I feel him so... vividly." Acnologia turned his gaze towards Esdeath.

"Guess it's time to reveal what you became when you signed that contract to me. I gave you the power of a Prime Being." Esdeath said and smiled in satisfaction.

"Prime being? What's that?" Saba asked quickly.

"All races in existence have different evolution patterns. But they all have one single thing in common. And that is the Prime being. They are not born, they are created. And I am my father are the only ones that can create them. Acnologia, I made you the Prime Dragon."

"Dragon? You made me one of them?" Acnologia said and anger and intense killing intent spread from his body.

A four-meter tall man on the beach of this island immediately turned his gaze towards the castle and disappeared in a burst of speed.

"Yes, I did. I made you the Prime being of the entire Dragon race. This means you have authority over any dragons in existence. No Dragon can defy you, or your commands. But that is only for the Dragon race since all races have their Prime being."

"Hello there, Acnologia. Long-time no see!" Kurama appeared beside Esdeath. He stood there with a smile on his face.

"You! The fox!" Acnologia said with resentment. He clenched his fists and black and gold coloured flames appeared around his hands. "I need to repay you for last time!" He said and the floor underneath him started to show signs of melting.

"Later, boys," Esdeath said and clapped her hands. And both the dragon and the fox got bound by multi-coloured chains.

"Rayleigh, I guess you wanna go home, so you do that. Your wife is probably lonely now." Esdeath said and waved him away.

"Thanks, Lady Esdeath! I'll see you later, and call if you need anything. Or if you wanna have someone to babysit these two." Rayleigh laughed and looked at the two bound beats that were leaking killing intent.

He started walking out the castle and on the way, he almost bumped into Alice who was rushing into the castle. She was the right-hand man to Jackson that created the Rising Sun pirates. She had a panic-stricken expression on her face.

"Lord Kurama! Emergency report!" She ran into the room but stopped when she saw all the people present.

"What is it, Alice?" Kurama asked while standing there bound with chains. He acted like this wasn't weird at all. And that only served to make Alice even more uncomfortable.

"Hanc.o.c.k and the fleet have run into two Katakuri again, and since you weren't there this time, they are in a pretty bad spot. Hanc.o.c.k is holding him off, but she can't manage much longer." Alice said while waving a piece of paper in her hand.

The Tailed Pirates were famous for many things in this world. But by far the most mysterious thing about them was their powers and the strange energy they used. It was known to the world that the commanders and the Emperor himself used incredibly strange and powerful energy.

And even the crews and thousands upon thousands of people working for Kurama didn't know what it was. The Marines and The Big Mom pirates confirmed it's not haki or a devil fruit power. Because it's also known that the Commanders could all touch the water and not be affected by it.

And through this strange energy that baffled the Marines and the other Pirates. The Tailed Pirates had a communication network that beat out even the snail transponder. It was instant, and it works by linking two minds together so two people were always in contact with each other.

So that was why Alice could perfectly describe how the battle with the fleet went. Even though they were halfway around the New World.

"hm, interesting. Acnologia, you can go and resolve that. Have you digested all the information about the world that I offered to you?" Esdeath looked at the chained up dragon man with gold markings all over his body.

Acnologia breathed out and answered, "Yes, I can perfectly navigate the New World," It came out with some difficulty. But you could see that he was trying not to last out.

"Okay, then go." The chains disappeared and Acnologia started walking out of the room.

"Now, all of you can go and do whatever you want. I and Kurama are going and visiting out guest. Let's see how the progress is going."

A few moments later, both of them arrived at the dungeon floor where only one person was hanging crucified on a cross. Esdeath observed the state of the body and it was bad.

"How are you today, Akainu?" Esdeath asked with eyes like daggers.

"I am not Akainu. I am whatever The Family requires me to be." He said in a monotone and with an ice-cold expression on his face.

"He is finally done. Fantastic, let's test him out." Esdeath jumped around like an excited school girl.

"Yes, Hanc.o.c.k often came down here and released her frustration on him. And coupled with your lingering aura in this room, it didn't take long for him to forget himself and what he used to be." Kurama said with a smile.

"Your name will be avellatur. It means fiery, and I think it fits. What do you say, Kurama?" Esdeath looked at her first partner

"Very good. You are wet, he is fiery. Very good!" Kurama said and nodded. But instead of agreement, he got a punch in the face from Esdeath.

"What do you mean wet? Look at my clothes, am I not dry?" Esdeath stared at Kurama like he was stupid.

"I guess I'm sorry," Kurama got up again and smiled awkwardly.

"Forget it, you ruined the name. Let's just call him Sakazuki. I suck at naming people!" Esdeath said and started walking away with angry steps. "I need some rest!" She said and walked up the stairs.

In the skies over the New World, Acnologia was flying in his human form. Through magic manipulation, and also being a dragon, flying was like sleeping to him. He was bored out of his mind as he was zooming over the ocean.

He felt incredible power inside of him and he had no idea how strong he had become. But he knew that he could go much faster than this. And he felt like he could lift an entire continent.

The place where Hanc.o.c.k her fleet were fighting in was far away from the island. And hard to navigate to, but he had a trace on all the Commanders energy signatures, so he could follow it to find them all wherever they were.

And over at Hanc.o.c.k, seven sh.i.p.s were caught in a struggle for dominance. Four of them belonged to Hanc.o.c.k's division, and the rest were with Katakuri.

This had become a weekly thing now. Skirmishes between Big Mom and Kurama had caused the New World many casualties. These two emperors were constantly clashing with each other.

"Lady Sonia, Katakuri's flagship is taking heavy damage, but this is a losing battle. We need to retreat and wair for reinforcement." A scrawny, but the very tall man said while fighting side by side with Sonia.

"We can't leave. Big sister is locked in combat with that bastard so we can't leave until he is dealt with. Have faith in Master Kurama. He will send someone soon." Sonia said and her hand pierced the c.h.e.s.t of a rookie pirate, like an arrow. She quickly put her hand up in a guard to block a sword strike from the side.

"I got you!" The tall and scrawny man said and cut down the man that attacked her. "Thanks, Mark," Sonia said and breathed out.

"I'll die for you, you know that, lady Sonia!" He said and clashed swords with another Big Mom Pirate. And Jackson suddenly landed by Sonia with sweat running down his entire body. He had cuts and bruises all over

"I just heard from Alice back at HQ. They are sending another commander. I didn't get specifics of who it is, but all Alice said is that he is tall and scary."

"A recruit? Is that what the other commanders were doing all this time? As long as he saves our asses, I don't care if he's tall or short. Just get here!" Sonia said and barely dodges a bullet.

"Hold out. Alice said he should be here soon. He just left HQ!" Jackson said and jumped away and cut down pirates on his way.

"Just left? Oh, we're dead by the time he gets here!" Sonia said and killed another pirate, albeit barely.

"Haha, Have faith in Lord Kurama. You know how mysterious he is, and his commanders. Maybe this new one can fly," Mark said and laughed while dodging sword strikes.

"A girl can wish!" Sonia said and took a deep breath. A newfound fire of determination was lit inside her soul.

On this battlefield, many battles were going on. But one of them had everyone on edge. Whoever won this battle would determine what crew came out of this alive. And that was Hanc.o.c.k vs Katakuri.

Last time they fought, Hanc.o.c.k had a bad time, but this time was different. She hadn't become someone like Rayleigh or even Issho, but she wasn't hopeless against Katakuri like last time.

"You're a terrifying girl, you know that?" Katakuri said and tried to pierce her with his trident shaped spear. This was a new one since Kurama destroyed the last one he had.

"I don't think the literal cookie monster has the right to say something like that." Hanc.o.c.k was on fire, and her flaming fists met his trident and caused sparks to spread each time they clashed. Every time they clashed against each other the ocean would create big waves that rocked the sh.i.p.s back and forth.

"Just look at how you have grown since we fought last time." Katakuri and Hanc.o.c.k knocked away each other and landed on their respective sh.i.p.s. "I must admit that I am not okay with how fast your growth is. Your death is a necessity. Nothing personal!"

"Really?" Hanc.o.c.k looked around at all the death around them and smiled. "This feels personal to me!" Her hands were set ablaze and she jumped towards Katakuri with great speed.

Hanc.o.c.k was wearing black baggy pants with a white sleeveless top. She was dressed very casually. But much of her clothes were destroyed so she too much skin for her liking was showing. You could see the outline of her b.r.e.a.s.ts and her pants were on their last legs. And this bothered her because she promised to only show her b.a.r.e skin to that special someone that she knew she would meet eventually.

Katakuri smiled like a savage and bent his legs and jumped at her also. They met in mid-air and blow and blow was traded between them. They moved so fast that the rookies couldn't see each blow.

Sparks flew everywhere and Hanc.o.c.k's flames were unleashed and attacked everything and anything she deemed an enemy. It was like the flames were alive and all the flames that spread from her fight sought out pirates and attached themselves to them and burned them to death.

"I am truly impressed, and this is nothing personal," Katakuri said and he finally overpowered her defences and he pierced her stomach with her trident. Lucky enough Hanc.o.c.k wasn't weak so she manages to avoid being pierced by all three of the blades.

"BIG SISTER!"

"SAVE THE COMMANDER!" Sonia and Mari who both were keeping their eyes on Hanc.o.c.k freaked out. They saw her get pierced and they immediately moved towards her. But someone else was faster in getting to her.

Katakuri grabbed ahold of her head and raised his spear. "I say farewell! You were a worthy opponent for me," He was gonna pierce her again but a small but powerful golden black laser came and pierced the hand that held the trident spear.

"AH!" Katakuri was forced to let go off the spear and he dropped back down on the ship again. And now up in the air, holding onto Hanc.o.c.k was Acnologia.

"Are you Hanc.o.c.k? You should be her." He said and looked at her face while holding her in a princess carry. She was hurting badly, but that didn't stop her from noticing the attractive man holding her.

"Yes, I am. And who are you?" She asked while looking at Katakuri and then at Acnologia again.

"Acnologia. I am the newest addition to the crew. So what do we have here?" He asked and looked around.

"The Big Mom Pirates. And that is one of their commanders. Be careful because he is very powerful, and he is a devil fruit user," Hanc.o.c.k said while frowning from all the pain.

"hm, you're hurt, let me look at that," Acnologia said and ripped off her top completely. And Hanc.o.c.k almost fainted from this action.

"hm, looks bad." He summoned a pure gold looking flame to his hand and then he placed his palm over her wound. The flame seeped inside her body and the wound started to close up.

"hm, looks good." He removed his hand and floated down towards Hanc.o.c.k's ship. He dropped her on deck and flew towards Katakuri.

"Fight me!" He said and earned a rare chuckle from him.

"And who are you?" He said and observed Acnologia. On the outside, he looked calm, but he saw inside of Acnologia and what he saw terrified him. 'He belongs to the monster class. I can't believe that damn man have another monster just like himself working for him.' Katakuri tried to stay calm and analyse the situation.

"Acnologia, I am one of the commanders." A short but sweet introduction and Acnologia immediately started to let out his pressure. And this little action created a thunderstorm and several people of the Big Mom Pirates fainted or outright died from suffocation.

"Men! BACKUP HAS ARRIVED, LET'S FINISH OFF THESE BASTARDS!" Mark had a calm personality, but when someone tried to kill Sonia he loses control over his emotions. Now that Hanc.o.c.k was safe and another commander was on the scene, the Tailed pirates got their spirits back.

They started killing and overpowering the pirates with the help of the three sisters. Hanc.o.c.k refused to rest, so she helped finish off the last people that had boarded their ship.

"Come on then!" Katakuri said and gripped his spear tighter. He leapt towards Acnologia and braised for the battle.

Acnologia flew towards Katakuri and spear met fist and the collision caused an outburst of energy that knocked most of the sh.i.p.s away. And many of the masts broke apart from the single clash between these two commanders.

Katakuri was putting his entire strength into it, and Acnologia was matching his strength. "This is good!" He said and put more force into it and knocked Katakuri down.

Behind Acnologia the crew was cheering in victory. With helping out Hanc.o.c.k they had managed to kill off the Big Mom pirates, and with Acnologia here, there was nothing Katakuri could do to stop it.

Katakuri and Acnologia clashed again. Their arms were moving so fast that even Hanc.o.c.k couldn't keep up, and hundreds of blows were traded between them in seconds.

"This is exciting, but this has to end before I get too excited," Acnologia said and grabbed ahold of Katakrui's fist and threw him down towards his ship.

"Don't let me see you again, or I will kill you, no matter what anyone says." He said and dropped down to land on Hanc.o.c.k's ship.

Katakuri was hurt and now he looked worse than when Big Mom beat him up for failing his last mission. He was on his back and staring at the sky. 'The world is changing. I can't keep up!' He said to himself and went to sleep. His crew that saw his condition immediately signalled for a retreat.

Back on Hanc.o.c.k's ship, Acnologia stood in front of the crew with a neutral expression. Everyone was cheering because of Katakuri's retreat. But three people didn't cheer and that was the three sisters.

"Thank you for saving us, you came just in time, Acnologia," Hanc.o.c.k said with a blush on her face. He was attractive and she was looking for her special someone, and his strength definitely impressed her. So she was keeping an extra eye on him to see if she liked his personality.

"I am going back to HQ. Later," Acnologia started to leave the ground and like a canon, he shot off with the speed of lighting.

"Take care of the wounded and prepare for departure, we are leaving this area and returning to HQ," Hanc.o.c.k ordered and her sisters nodded and Sonia started coordinating with Mark, her right-hand man.

'You piqued my interest, Acnologia.' Acnologia had already disappeared but Hanc.o.c.k still saw that manly and alpha face in the clouds. And a small flame was lit inside of her, and now only the future will tell how their story turns out.
