Dragon Sorcerer In One Piece

Chapter 37 - Third Sweet Commander and Smores

Smoothie uses her signature sword attack on Hades as he draws his sword and blocks the flying slash attack. Hades redirects the attack into the sky and repositions himself back to fighting stand as Smoothie retracts her blade for another flying slash attack.

"Not bad, but I wonder how long you can withstand before I defeat you," Smoothie said with a laugh as she prepared herself. She still has plenty of liquid to use her slash attack, but if she needs to she can draw water from her environment or other living beings around her. Still, for Smoothie to use her powerful attack on Hades shows her concern on his strength.

"You have no idea what I'm capable of. I can do this all day if I have to." Hades said to her as he held Rebellion in one hand and ease his stance as he smiled. This irritated Smoothie as she saw how relaxed her opponent is. He is bold enough to hold a heavy greatsword with one hand which tells her either Hades is an idiot or c.o.c.ky.

"I will determine what you can do," Smoothie said as she once again took one step and slash her sword horizontally. The flying slash attack once again emits a powerful attack as it cuts down large numbers of trees as it heads towards Hades.

This time Hades dodge the attack by jumping up high, but Smoothie anticipated the move as she jumped right after the attack and now about to strike Hades with her kick to the ground. Just as Smoothie was about to hit Hades with her kick, Hades used his flight to dodge it to the slide in mid-air and grab Smoothie's leg to throw her down to the ground. This surprised Smoothie as she didn't expect Hades to move in midair.

Combined with his super strength and telekinesis, Hades threw Smoothie hard to the ground which created a crater and stunned her as she coughed a bit of blood from her mouth. Hades knows this could kill a normal person but Smoothie isn't a normal person. Living up to her title as one of the Sweet Commanders, she stood up and dust herself off as she walked out of the crater.

"I determine you are dangerous enough that instead of bringing you in, I will execute you right here, right now." There is a seriousness in her face as she points her sword at Hades and declares her judgment at him. Hades knows he has no option of diplomacy now the moment Smoothie takes this fight seriously, the only way she will stand down from the fight is the command from Big Mom and she is 35 islands away from where they are.

"Fine, bring your worst." Hades gave a small reply as there is no point in reasoning with her now. Hades unleashes both Armament and Observation Haki to prepare himself for the next attack as Smoothie herself is doing the same thing. After a minute of silence, suddenly both fighters clash their black blades and a fearsome fight once again begins, but this time intent to kill not subdue.

5 Days Later, Port of Cacao Island,

It took a whole one day for Big Mom Pirates to make it to Cacao island thanks to their main flagship 'Queen Mama Chanter'. Big Mom personally sent Katakuri, her second son, with other officers to find and investigate the missing Smoothie and Cracker who were sent before Katakuri four days ago.

The report came 5 days ago when Pudding notified Big Mom about Smoothie investigating an intruder on the island but failed to return or report back. Because of this, Big Mom sent Cracker who was closest to the Cacao island at that time to go and investigate what happened. Unfortunately, this didn't work as Cracker also failed to report back to Big Mom, now he is considered missing just like Smoothie.

"I don't like this at all, how can both Smoothie and Cracker fail to report back? We all should have gone with Cracker the moment we learned about Smoothie" Katakuri said to his triplet brothers Oven and Daifuku while Perospero and the other 10 officers departed from their ship. When everyone was off from the ship, Pudding and Lola the current Minister of Chocolate came to them to give recent intel.

" There has been a sound of fighting on the first day and following my order, no one enters the forest to prevent casualty. When brother Cracker came with his army of biscuits I thought it would be over soon but fighting continued until last night." Lola explained it to Katakuri as everyone else listened.

"No one likes the idea of going to the forest without knowing who the intruder is, so far as we know, two Sweet Commanders could have won the fight and rested due to the injury or worse, they lost and we are next the moment we enter the forest," Katakuri spoke with concern in his eyes, right now he can't see the future as his Haki only gives him a few seconds of sight on the future.

"Don't forget, you have us unlike the other two who went to fight the intruder all by themself," Oven added as Daifuku shows confidence.

"All of us will join the fight, no one attacks our family without facing the consequence. We have Oven, Daifuku, me and 6 other ministers with legions of chess soldiers" Perospero said with an evil smile on his face as he licked the candy in his hand. For Katakuri, this was indeed a large gathering of Big Mom Pirates, usually, one Sweet Commander is enough to handle any intruders but this was different. Two of three went missing within 5 days after they made contact with the intruder and there has been no message from the intruder themself.

After a few seconds of silence, Katakuri made his decision to send a scout to investigate as he moved the chess army and entire officers into the forest to subdue the intruder. They will get the info from Perospero's candy birds bound with souls from Big Mom's power and hopefully, they will locate the intruder and deploy all troops quickly.

15 Minutes Later, Chocolate Forest,

Candy birds never came back from their scout mission as the army continued to march in the forest. Katakuri decided to move to the direction where scouts disappeared since nothing on this island would attack the soul bound creature except the enemies. After 5 minutes of marching, the army arrived at the heavily damaged battlefield. Chocolate trees are melted, broken biscuits puppets everywhere and in the middle, three people are sitting around on the campfire, one of them eating smore.

Two people on the campfire are Smoothie and Cracker, all beaten and tied up with heavy metal chains. The third person is wearing tattered clothes and a metal mask as he was eating smore. Katakuri stops the army and steps forward to announce their presence to the single intruder,

"I'm Charlotte Katakuri, Sweet Commander of the Big Mom Pirates. You are surrounded by our military forces and no place to escape. Release our siblings and we will make this quick death for you." Katakuri made formal demands as the chess army moved around to surround the battlefield, the officers including Perospero spread widely to give each other room for the fight.

"You know, Cracker made a similar demand to me while I was fighting Smoothie. He was rude enough to use the biscuit puppet instead of showing his real face, I'm just glad this isn't a thing for you siblings. My name is Hades, King of the Underworld. I came here to meet Big Mom and unfortunately, there has been a misunderstanding which results in a little skirmish. I will release them if you promise me there will be no more fight and I can meet the Big Mom." Hades stands up from the log and replies to Katakuri as he throws away the stick into the fire and grabs the Rebellion.

"It doesn't matter who you are, you committed a crime against Big Mom Pirates by attacking our siblings. You will die by my…" Katakuri didn't finish his sentence as he suddenly saw Hades in front of him with a greatsword attacking him. Katakuri could react in time and received a fatal diagonal slash from the left shoulder to right hip as he bleeds non stop.

"As I said, your brother said something similar before I beat him up to near death," Hades said as he repositioned his sword and cut Katakuri in half.
