One Piece - Justice Of The Celestial Dragons

"Sylver, what did just happen?" Boa Hanc.o.c.k asked as she continued gazing at the place where Sylver had stabbed himself in. But she couldn't see any injury any longer on his skin.

"It seems like my body can heal itself, at the beginning, I thought that it was because of my Devil Fruit, but the more I thought of it, the more it didn't make sense." Sylver replied as he was thinking of what to say. "For example, when I heal, the body heals by itself, it isn't because of the lighting ability that I possess from the Devil Fruit."

"Then, what could it be?" Boa Hanc.o.c.k wasn't dumb either, her intellect was much better than most in Mary Joa, and in their own generation, she would only be below Sylver, at around the same level as Nico Robin.

"My genes must have either had this potential since I was young, but only growing better while I grow stronger. Or my genes must have mutated for some reason. I might be thinking too much into it, but perhaps my Devil Fruit enchanted my genes that already had the potential to heal myself. But, I can't be sure of why for now." Sylver shook his head slightly, he was clueless about it, he could only speculate and never arrive to a definite answer.

"Alright." Boa Hanc.o.c.k knew it too, it would be a waste of time to speculate as they didn't know the answer of it for now. She then brought up something else. "What do we do now? Do we stay in Alabasta and deal with Crocodile, or what it is, or do we leave this island with our ship?" To her, it didn't matter what they did, as long as she could stay with Sylver.

Sylver went quiet for a bit, be was considering both options for a few seconds before replying Boa Hanc.o.c.k. "We will stay. I don't know if Crocodile and Cro D. Ileco is the same person or not, but we know that one of them is strong enough to battle Whitebeard and escape. And that person should be at its strongest while being in Alabasta. From what I could sense, Momousagi and Tsuru are both strong, but they could at most fight against people like King, Commanders of the Emperors."

"This Crocodile person must have strength above those Commanders. But if we can up our numbers. Me, you, Akira, Tsuru and Momousagi, if we team up all together, we shouldn't be able to lose. Only people at the Emperor or Admiral level should be able to handle such a group." Sylver had a small smile on his face while saying this. He didn't want to underestimate his opponents, and he wanted to conclude that Crocodile/Cro D. Ileco should have awakened his or her Devil Fruit and can handle fighting against people like Emepeors and Admirals without getting killed.

"Hmmm..." Boa Hanc.o.c.k kept her gaze at Sylver for a long while, and as Sylver felt that something might be wrong, she parted her lips and began speaking. "What are you planning? I know that you wouldn't care too much of this person either way, so, there must be something that has interested you. What is it?" Boa Hanc.o.c.k knew that Sylver rarely got interested in other people and thing, but when he did have an interest in something, he could do almost anything in order to fulfil his thirst to seek out what interested him.

A large smile appeared on Sylver's face, he leaned forward as he began speaking in an excited tone. "Think about this, a person able to fight against someone who stands at the apex of the seas, has returned to the start of Paradise. Yet this person has stayed silent for so long, waiting for something. That person made it possible for the civilians of a Kingdom to begin rebelling, and there's tens of thousands of pirates joining in this mess. Tell me, if I hadn't been here, would that person be able to get all of this done?"

"This person is very smart, smart enough to trick Emperors, the Navy and even the World Governmemt. And is now trying to take over or destroy a Kingdom." A grin slowly appeared on Sylver's face, it was a grin that rarely showcased his interest, it was a wild grin. "I want to meet that person, I want to fight that person. I want to know what goal that person has." Very few people could take Sylver's interest, and all of them were either one of the smartest people alive, or too mysterious for Sylver to find out their abilities and strength.

"Really?" Boa Hanc.o.c.k tilted her head slightly to the left as she asked. But she didn't think that there was something wrong about this situation either. As that was also how she first met Sylver too, because he was interested in her for some reason. She wouldn't deny Sylver the happiness he found in uncovering the mysteries he liked.

"Then, what do we do? Wait for the marines to find things out?" Boa Hanc.o.c.k asked once again as she had never done something like this before.

Sylver was silent for a brief moment before replying. "From what I can see, Cro D. Ileco is trying to make mayhem for some reason throughout the Kingdom. This will lead to Cobra and the marines spreading their forces out in other cities. Which will in the end make it that the captial will have less forces. I want to think that Cro D. Ileco wants to personally attack the Royal Castle and the capital. What we should do is to make an elite team with our strongest people and hunt down Cro D. Ileco with all our strength. We can't let that person have enough time to continue their plan, because I don't think we could handle that so easily."

A smile crept on Sylver's face, he treated this battle against Cro D. Ileco as a game, a game where two masterminds were fighting in both intellect and strength. And this excited Sylver, he had already fought against King and the parasite - Uranus, which only required him to use all of his strength, but now, he was facing someone who was very smart.

"We should go and make this 'elite' team then." Boa Hanc.o.c.k was amused as she hadn't seen Sylver this excited in a long time, and it made her happy that Sylver was having fun.

"Indeed, let us go and do that." Sylver stood up and held Boa Hanc.o.c.k as they left the room. They went and told Bell-mere, Nami and Nojiko to rest in the Royal Castle for a few days till everything had calmed down before they would leave this island. Afterwards, Sylver and Boa Hanc.o.c.k went to meet up with Akira and Itsuki. Akira accepted their idea of making an elite team to defeat Cro D. Ileco without any hesitation.

"I can't, I will be leaving shortly." Itsuki responded while shaking his head slightly, he had a small smile on his face as he explained. "I will leave for some matters, I have been told that there's a person with very good medical skills. I am going to meet him and see if he wants to study under me." Itsuki wanted to teach someone to be a doctor, he knew that Sylver could be a very good doctor with his skills, but Sylver wouldn't become one as he was aiming for strength.

"Really? That's good news!" Both Sylver and Boa Hanc.o.c.k were glad that Itsuki was going to find someone to teach his medical skills to.

And after having spoken with Itsuki for a while, Boa Hanc.o.c.k and Akira went to Bell-mere, Nami and Nojiko to relax before they would leave. Sylver went by himself to the two Vice-Admirals, Tsuru and Momousagi, he wanted to tell them about his plan against Cro D. Ileco.

Sylver knocked on the door, and he opened it after hearing an old lady saying "Enter." Sylver went in with a small smile, he got to see both Tsuru and Momousagi slightly shocked that Sylver would actually knock on the door and wait before entering. But that didn't matter to Sylver, Sylver respected people that were either smart or strong, and from what he could tell, Tsuru was both smart and strong while Momousagi was very strong as he could feel a sharp aura around her.

A grin slowly appeared on Sylver's face, he went in front of them before speaking in a slightly slow tone and in a deep voice. "I want to battle against Cro D. Ileco in this battlefield of games. And, I would need the two of you to help me in this regard." Sylver's grin slowly turned into a wild grin whilst his Conqueror's Haki was unconsciously leaking out.

Both Tsuru and Momousagi were staring at Sylver, they were feeling fear for some reason. Not fear for losing against Sylver in a fight, but in fear for fighting against someone that would fight without caring about anything else, a madman! Sylver was like a madman in Tsuru's eyes, because his Conqueror's Haki was like a wild beast that wanted to devour everything!
