King's entire body was trembling because of all the shock he was going through from the lightnings. His skin was getting cracked and blood was slowly dripping from his pores, but none of these injuries were lethal to him. But King knew that he had no possibility in killing Sylver any longer, because Sylver was the worst match King could fight against, someone with supreme speed.

Slowly but surely, a frown appeared on King's face, he used his Observation Haki inside of his own body, he was trembling in anger as he saw the lightning messing his body up from the inside, his reaction speed and nerves were damaged and it would take him at least a few hours before he recovered. "Damn it!" King cursed in a deep voice, he turned around and spanned his wings before flying away.

Sylver didn't attack King, he knew that he couldn't defeat King in an extended battle. Therefore, letting King go was the best thing Sylver could do, unless he wanted to risk a battle to the death against King, and he wasn't sure if he could win even after Awakening his Lightning Devil Fruit ability.

The lightning around Sylver vanished, the dark clouds vanished, letting the sun shine through the clouds and shine upon Sylver's body. Sylver was standing on the air with a calm expression, after sighing, he turned around towards SkyWard Bound. But the moment Sylver turned around, his eyes darkened and fell from the sky.

"NO!" Boa Hanc.o.c.k yelled out loudly as she saw Sylver falling from the sky towards the sea. She mustered all of her strength in her legs and used Geppo. It wasn't only Boa Hanc.o.c.k that began acting, even Akira rushed towards the falling Sylver. They were 2 kilometres away, and it would take them around 15 seconds before they arrive.

But 15 seconds were too long, Sylver's body hit the sea after a few seconds and his body slowly descended deeper and deeper in the dark sea.

Both Boa Hanc.o.c.k and Akira dived in the sea without any hesitation. Akira was slightly faster, she used Geppo under water as she dived deeper down, after reached around 100 meters down, she managed to see Sylver's body, she reached out her hand and grabbed Sylver's body.

As Akira grabbed Sylver, Boa Hanc.o.c.k arrived too, she took hold of Sylver and then gazed at Akira, both of them nodded at the same time as they both used Geppo and pushed themselves upwards with all of their strength.

It only took them 2 seconds before they arrived up from the water. Boa hanc.o.c.k grabbed onto Sylver and held him to her embrace. She then began using Geppo towards SkyWard Bound. And after having reached the boat, she hurriedly went towards the shower in order to warm up Sylver's body. But before Boa Hanc.o.c.k did that, she also took the Den-Den-Mushi that was on the table, this Den-Den-Mushi was Sylver's personal one.

Akira stood on the deck, her body was wet and she was cold. But she sighed in relief, she was very worried over that King, a Disaster of an Emperor came to attack them. And what shocked her even more was that Sylver could use his speed in order to stall King. This wasn't something that most people in the Navy and in the Cipher Pol could do. Akira gazed at the shocked Bell-mere, Nojiko and Nami. "I will take a shower before coming back. Till then, use this Eternal Pose and head over there. Remember one important thing, the Paradise is very different from the Four Blues, you must check the Eternal Pose frequently." Akira gave Nami an Eternal Pose with a word on top of it 'Alabasta'.

Boa Hanc.o.c.k went to the shower with Sylver, she took his clothes off and turned on the warm water. She placed herself and Sylver under the warm water. Boa Hanc.o.c.k took the Den-Den-Mushi and dialed a number in, it barely took a second before the Den-Den-Mushi got answered.

"Report, what is the situation." Thor's voice sounded out from the Den-Den-Mushi, his voice was very calm with a tinge of coldness in it.

Boa Hanc.o.c.k took a second before replying. "Over 4 dozen sh.i.p.s attacked us, mostly from the Underworld, and with the additon of King, the Disaster of Beast Pirates." Boa Hanc.o.c.k responded with a weak voice.

"What?!" Scarlett's voice sounded out in the background. Even Thor was shocked over hearing that someone like King would travel to the beginning of Paradise to attack Sylver. Thor's voice then sounded out once again. "Tell us the situation."

"I and Akira destroyed 2 dozen sh.i.p.s while protecting the ship. Sylver destroyed the other 2 dozen sh.i.p.s by himself while fighting against King. Sylver managed to stall for enough time as he used overwhelming speed against King. After over an hour's battle, Sylver managed to awaken his Devil Fruit ability and made King escape, then Sylver lost his consciousness." Boa Hanc.o.c.k's voice was very weak, she felt powerless and weak as she couldn't do anything against someone like King.

"Hanc.o.c.k, it's alright." Scarlett's voice sounded out from the Den-Den-Mushi. "Don't feel down, you and Sylver have barely begun your journey, you will become stronger, strong enough to stand by his side in the future. Do not stop, never stop, you must continue forward with all of your strength. Only then will you be able to grow stronger, and only then can you and him be together side by side." Scarlett could guess how Boa Hanc.o.c.k was feeling. Both her and Thor knew that Boa Hanc.o.c.k's greatest d.e.s.i.r.e was to become strong and stand by Sylver's side. And with such a situation that she couldn't do anything to help Sylver, would of course make Boa Hanc.o.c.k sad. That was why Scarlett tried to comfort her and make her Will and D.e.s.i.r.e to grow stronger!

"Now go, go and take care of our son, take care of your fiancee, he will need your care." Scarlett's voice sounded out once again before she ended the call.

Boa Hanc.o.c.k laid on the ground with Sylver in her arms, tears were running down her cheeks as she stared at Sylver. "I promise... I promise to grow stronger. Never again will I want to be weak and helpless! Never again...!" Boa Hanc.o.c.k began muttering as tears ran down her cheeks while holding onto Sylver.

-In Mary Joa-

Thor kept his eyes closed, he was trying his best to not act in anger. How couldn't he be angry? His son was attacked by a Commander of an Emperor!

"Thor, I know you are angry, I too am angry...!" Scarlett's voice was filled with anger, she could barely hold herself back while comforting Boa Hanc.o.c.k. Her eyes narrowed as she said. "King, a Disaster of the Emperor... Thor, we need to retaliate! If we don't, then that would mean anyone could trample on our family!" Her voice was chilly as it could send shivers in people's back.

"Yes." Thor replied in a cold voice. "I will call the Five Elders, we will retaliate with all our strength! We will show the Emperors of the Seas that we are a force that shouldn't be provoked!" Thor's voice was cold as his expression was calm.

Both Thor and Scarlett were releasing a huge amount of their Conqueror's Haki at the same time, the mansion they were in began trembling as more and more parts of the wall, roof and ground began cracking!
