One Piece - Justice Of The Celestial Dragons

Chapter 38 - 38 - A calf doesn't fear the lion

"They are at least heading away from Water 7. I'm not sure where they plan to go." Sylver answered Thor's question while still focusing his senses high up in the air. But it was at this moment that Sylver furrowed his eyebrows slightly as he managed to hear some words from the people on the floating islands in the air. Sylver could barely hear them, but he managed to hear the words "Poison. Blues. Conqueor."

"I will hang up for now." Sylver concluded the call with a casual tone. After doing so, he turned towards Boa Hanc.o.c.k before saying. "Hanc.o.c.k, go to Water 7 and meet up with Tom. Try to get information about the Ancient Weapon - Pluton from him."

Boa Hanc.o.c.k didn't reply at once, but after a few moments, she questioned back. "Can I use force?"

Sylver shook his head slightly. "No, forcing him won't do any good for us." Sylver reached his hand to a pocket on his pants, he took out a blank letter and he found a pen nearby, he began to write rather swiftly and it didn't take long before the entire page was filled with words.

"This letter is for Tom, you can go ahead and read it too, it doesn't hurt either if you know my plans too." Sylver spoke in a calm tone as he gave her the letter.

Boa Hanc.o.c.k took the letter, but she also grabbed Sylver's hand, she was silent for a brief moment before asking in a whisper. "Are you going after Shiki?" She was hoping that he would say no, but she knew it that he would go after him because Sylver had a grave expression on his face, even if it was barely showing.

"Yes..." Sylver answered shortly before explaining further. "I don't have a good feeling about this, I will only scout around their islands, if nothing of importance is happening, I will return at once." Sylver didn't tell his father or Boa Hanc.o.c.k about what he had heard, as he didn't want to stress them out because of it.

After Boa Hanc.o.c.k finally let go of Sylver's hand, he let out a smile before flying towards the sky. His speed was rather fast, and it barely took him around half a minute before he was around 10,000 meters high up in the air. Sylver felt the sun shining upon him, he glanced below him at the clouds, and after that, he glanced at the dozen or so islands that were floating.

Sylver could see that some of the islands were small, and some were gigantic. Some had buildings on them, and others were filled with forest and nature. Sylver began to move once again as he didn't want to be seen that easily by others. He flied towards a larger island filled with forest and a huge pond in the middle of the island. It took him around fifteen seconds before he landed on the island, in the middle of the forest.

When Sylver finally landed on the island, he closed his eyes and focused on his Electrofield and Observation Haki. His senses could reach over 10,000 meters around himself, and in that range, he could basically 'see' and hear everything, almost nothing could escape his senses. Sylver was bombarded with voices all at once, he could sense that there were over 50,000 thousand people on the dozen or so islands and thousand of animals on the forest islands.

Sylver senses something near him, he flickered his hand by reflex and a lightning rushed out of his hand and attacked the beast that was trying to ambush him. Sylver opened his eyes and gazed at the beast, it was a large bear, but Sylver frowned slightly as he saw that the bear was weakened. After having used his Electrofield to enter the bear's body, he could sense that the bear was poisoned, and the poison was slowly killing it off.

The poison was very potent and it would slowly leech the life away from the beast, Sylver could guess that the poison would also work on human beings too. Sylver tried to check if he could kill of the poison inside of the body of the bear, he managed to do it, but it took him over a minute.

"Mhm..." Sylver didn't know what to think, he closed his eyes once again, trying to listen to what people were saying, he wanted to find out their plan.

Sylver was sitting on the ground, not even moving a muscle, only listening and sensing what was happening around himself. Time passed by rather swiftly, but Sylver was still sitting on the same spot, still not moving.

A whole day passed by before Sylver finally opened his eyes, there was a cold glint in his eyes. "Awakening!" Sylver roared in a deep voice as lightning suddenly appeared all around of Sylver. And like an explosion, everything around of Sylver turned into dust. The lightning was spreading around like a wild fire, it didn't take long before a radius of five kilometres turned into a domain of lightining, where nothing could survive.

Sylver had finally managed to hear about the plan Shiki had composed, and it was to poison everyone in the Four Blues, after having massacred everyone in the Four Blues, he would continue to kill everyone in Paradise...

And as he was thinking of this, Sylver's Conqueror's Haki spread too alongside his lightning, the lightning domain turned even more violent, thunder was heard clashing non-stop high up in the air, almost like Mother Nature was taking its wrath on the island!

Sylver levitated off the ground, his entire body was turned into lightning, his body slowly grew larger. "Lightning Titan!" Sylver roared once again in a deep voice as another explosion was heard, this time, Sylver's turned into a ten meter large lightning titan. Sylver glanced below him at the island, he could sense that there were poison growing on some of the plants, and without any hesitation, Sylver tightened his fist and punched the island with all of his strength.

The world seemed to whiten for a brief moment as the lightning clashed against the island, and the very next moment, the island seemed to split into two from where Sylver punched at. And only a few biref moments later, the island simply began to fall from the air.

Sylver didn't even care about the island as he had already sensed that there was only water where the island would fall. Sylver stood up in the air, gazing at the other islands. He narrowed his eyes slightly as he sensed at everyone knew that he was here. And with a bellow, he roared out. "Shiki! I'm here for your goddamn head!" Sylver's voice sounded out everywhere like thunder which made some of the weaker scientists fall down from fear.

Sylver then gazed towards a certain island, he could sense that Shiki was there. Sylver gazed at the man that was watching back at him. Shiki had long golden hair that made him look a lion, a golden coat and his two legs were amputated, but he had two swords instead of legs.

As Sylver was staring at Shiki, Shiki was staring back at Sylver. Shiki honestly didn't care about the loss of one island, he was more interested in the person that destroyed that island. After having guessed who the person was that destroyed one of his islands, he lost his interest as he coldly spoke up. "Are you here to die, youngling?" Shiki's voice was sharp and cold.

Sylver snorted and continued to stare at Shiki. After hearing Shiki's voice, Sylver knew that he had acted before thinking twice, and it wasn't that good for him because he knew that he simply had no chance against Shiki. At most, Sylver could escape because of his superior speed.

But Sylver's thoughts were ended by a harsh reality as he saw Shiki in front of him, stabbing him with one of his sword-legs. Sylver was pushed back almost fifty meters, he wasn't hurt at all, but he was shocked by the speed Shiki showed. If anything, Shiki's speed wasn't too much worse than his own!
