One Piece - Justice Of The Celestial Dragons

Chapter 32 - 32 - Sand Versus Lightning!

Akira and Momousagi both had to step backwards a few steps as they began to block the sand spears that were coming their way. With each swipe they did with their swords, only a few sand spears broke, but there were hundreds more.

Tsuru didn't move at all, she was staring at Ileco. And on the other hand, Sylver finally began moving, as fast as the sand spears appeared, lightning fell from the sky at the same speed. The lightning broke the sand spears, he had a rather calm expression on his face, but he narrowed his eyes as he saw Ileco as calm as him too.

Momousagi coated her katana in Armanent Haki and began to make a hurricane of slashes, wiping out a lot of sand spears that were coming her way. And with that, she took the chance to rush towards Ileco, she pushed her katana forward, wanting to pierce Ileco in the gut.

*Shing!* The katana was blocked by the golden hook that was on Ileco's hand, Ileco had an amused expression on her face as she gazed at Momousagi. "You are indeed very strong. Too bad that you met me, hehehe." The moment Ileco began laughing, she twisted her body slightly and used her hook to scratch Momousagi's hand.

"Hehehe, you should be grateful that you will die in my hands." Ileco laughed yet again as she glared at Momousagi before kicking her in the stomach, sending her a few meters back.

Momousagi was barely hurt, but it barely took a few seconds before her vision turned hazy and she felt dizzy. ".. What did you do!?" Momousagi felt her body lose strength as she kept herself up in the air by using Geppo.

"Vice-Admiral Momousagi, retreat, you are poisoned." Sylver's voice sounded out calmly, Sylver was gazing at what was happening, and he had to say, that Ileco was ruthless.

"Grrr...!" Momousagi growled in a deep voice as she glared at Ileco, her eyes were still hazy, so she did as she was told and stepped back.

Sylver didn't waste time as he suddenly vanished from his spot and appeared behind Ileco, he turned his arm into lightning and stabbed towards Ileco's heart. But just like Sylver, Ileco was also prepared, Ileco turned into dust and vanished before appearing a few meters away.

"Heh, I didn't know that you would do something like that. A Celestial Dragon, ambushing someone, hehe, now I've seen everything." Ileco laughed as she looked at Sylver with disdain.

"Really?" Sylver still had his calm expression on his face as he looked at Ileco. "I won't say anything about you poisoning people, you are indeed a normal cruel pirate, nothing more, nothing less." A small smile appeared on Sylver's face as he said those words.

And as Sylver had gussed, Ileco roared in a deep voice back at Sylver. "I AM NOTHING LIKE THOSE DAMNED PIRATES!" And whilst roaring, Ileco turned her surrounding into a dusty whirlwind, blocking the surrounding place with sand.

"You may say whatever you want to say, but look at you, a pirate thinking of herself as someone noble and great. A good joke if you were aiming for that though." Sylver didn't stop to mock Ileco. But as he was speaking to Ileco, he was also using his Den-Den-Mushi for something, he was on the call with Vice-Admiral Tsuru. Sylver whispered in a low voice that only the Den-Den-Mushi could hear. "Vice-Admiral, do everything possible to destroy the whirlwind, limit Ileco's strength. I can block Ileco for a while, but don't take too long, I am not sure for how long I can last."

Sylver didn't hear a reply through the Den-Den-Mushi, but he knew that Tsuru had heard him. He then focused on Ileco once again. Sylver's body slowly turned into lightning, he was going in an Elemental Body state, lightning was cracking all around of Sylver.

This time, both Ileco and Sylver moved at the same time. Ileco's feets turned into sand as she kicked with all of her force, sending a sharp wave of sand towards Sylver. And Sylver used both of his hands to send a lightning discharge to melt away the sand.

*Bang!* The sand and the lightning met in the middle, and after the explosion, all that was left was a piece of glass before it evaporated into nothing. And in this small brief moment, Ileco had already moved forward, she was standing in front of Sylver, she used the hook on her left hand as she tried to stab Sylver and poison him too. Ileco knew that it would be hard for her to win against them all, therefore she would poison them and slowly kill them off.

Sylver wasn't slow in his response either, he stepped backwards one step before twisting his body and kicking Ileco's head with all of his force. The lightning smashed into Ileco, sending her flying a dozen meters before she stopped in the air with sand all around her.

"You're actually trying to match your speed and response with someone that ate the Lightning Devil Fruit? Heh." Sylver was still trying to mock Ileco any chance he got, he needed Ileco to get angry and not think straight in this battle. He wanted all her attention on himself while the Vice-Admirals were tryign to limit Ileco's sand ability that was basically locking Sylver in a large room with no escape versus Ileco.

"Humph!" Ileco snorted in disdain, she could sense what the Vice-Admirals were trying to do as Sylver was trying to make her angry. But, as she was surrounded by her own small world, she felt that nothing could defeat her. And as she thought of this, she called out in a low and deep voice. "Sand Awakening - Castle!" As she spoke, the whirlwind of sand turned rock-hard and it formed into a castle with Armanent Haki covering it.

And inside of Ileco's castle, all of the sand turned black too. Sylver was seeing all of this, he squinted his eyes slightly, but he wasn't too shocked over that Ileco could awaken her Devil Fruit.

"Yes? What are you going to do now? In front of absolute strength, you have no way out. You will die here all alone, your puny guards can't do anything!" Ileco growled as she gazed at Sylver in disdain.

Sylver didn't get worried, he only smiled, but his smile slowly turned into a wicked grin. And as his wicked grin confused Ileco, Sylver muttered softly. "Lightning Awakening - Domain!" And almost like the entire world lost its colours, everything turned white and black for a brief moment, in this brief moment, everything around Sylver turned into a domain of pure lightning that could and would destroy anything!

On one side, stood Ileco with sand coated in Armanent all around her, and on the other side, Sylver was standing there with lightning slowly spreading outwards! The two of them glared at each other for a whole second before both of them vanished.

Sylver was using all of his strength and power into doing anything he could, he punched, he stabbed using his fingers, he kicked and even tried using his lightning. And Ileco did the same as Sylver, she used everything she had. The two of them clashed against each other around three times per second, none of them backed away a single step.

Ileco would throw a punch which Sylver would block and counter with a kick, and Ileco would dodge Sylver's kick before sending a kick back towards Sylver. Sylver vanished as he appeared behind of Ileco as he tried stabbing her once again while sending lightning from above to hit Ileco. And as Ileco had guessed, she made a shield of sand above her head while punching Sylver's fingers that were about to stab her.

Sylver was the first one to step back, he glanced at his broken fingers, but it barely took a moment before they healed. He didn't think twice before jumping forward yet again as he sent a kick towards Ileco's face as he summoned Lightning from his Domain to destroy every piece of sand around of Ileco.

And as the Lightning destroyed the Sand, more Sand appeared from everywhere. Ileco didn't step back once, she was great in both blocking, attacking and countering each of Sylver's attacks.
