One Piece - Justice Of The Celestial Dragons

Sylver was caught off-guard once, but he wouldn't let it be easily allowed for a second time. He completly focused on Shiki, and nothing more, he was trying to sense everything he was doing. How he was breathing and how his muscles were moving. Sylver then noticed a slight movements on his sword-legs, Sylver moved towards the left with lightning speed and dodged an attack from Shiki.

As Sylver had dodged one of Shiki's attacks, Shiki had an open side, and Sylver wouldn't allow to let go of such a chance. He used his large lightning leg to attack Shiki with everything he had.

But brief moments before Sylver's foot attacked Shiki, Shiki's left hand turned completly black before he stopped Sylver's lightning foot. Shiki snorted "Humph!" And after snorting, Shiki waved his hand which made a smaller boulder fly with fast speed towards Sylver. And after that one boulder, dozens of similar boulders were flying in the air, being hurled towards Sylver's huge lightning body.

Sylver tried his best to dodge the boulders, and he managed to do so by twisting his body and using his high speed to move away from their paths. Sylver was managing to calm himself down, but it didn't make things better as he knew that Shiki was merely playing with him and didn't take him seriously at all. Sylver didn't grow angry at him because of this, because he knew, he was much weaker than Shiki.

"You should be proud, you know that?" Shiki's cold voice sounded out like roar in the air. "You're what? Fifteen years old or something and is able to defend yourself against me, the Golden Lion? Heh, as I said, you should be proud of yourself before your death!" Shiki was roaring like a lion, Shiki is a man that could be the embodiment of pride! He didn't back away from battling against Gol D. Roger, he was too proud to go after Raftel, none of that mattered to him, the only thing mattered was that he once lost against Gol D. Roger, and he wanted his revenge!

But after Gol D. Roger had gotten excuted, Shiki had nothing else to live for. After a few years of planning, he had begun to plan his next plan, which was to kill everyone, and he would start with the Four Blues.

Sylver stopped trying to attack Shiki as he knew he couldn't harm Shiki too much unless Shiki was completly off-guard by his attack. Sylver began to use his Observation Haki to the maximum with his Electrofield, everything seemed to slow down slightly and he could 'see' the movements of everything around himself. Sylver began to twist his body to the left before flying a couple of dozen meters. He glanced back and saw Shiki stabbing the place where he was at previously, but Sylver didn't stop there, he began to dodge once again as he could 'see' that Shiki wouldn't stop attacking him.

Time passed by rather slowly for Sylver, and after each brief moment, Sylver would get tired by just focusing too much, but he can't stop dodging unless he wanted to get stabbed by Shiki or get a boulder thrown at him.

After around an hour, Sylver's speed was getting slower, he couldn't find any moment to escape, because he knew that if he turned around, Shiki would attack him with everything he had. Whilst Sylver was getting slower, Shiki was in fact using more strength, he wasn't even tired of sending some petty stones towards Sylver or trying to attack him.

And unknown to the two of them, they were already in the air above the Four Blues...

-Somewhere near the battle on an island-

This island was one of the many protected islands throughout the Four Blues, the citizens of this island loved the peace they were getting. No pirates or marines dared to come to this island, and they could peacefully live their lives. Unbeknownst to all of them, a monster in a human body was living here, he was in a dark cellar of a mansion, peacefully resting.

His figures couldn't be seen, but it was clearly an outline of human male, he wasn't fat but neither lean and he was just under two meters tall. He was growing tired because of everything he was trying to do, which was to protect the Four Blues, which was his home-place. He had many followers, and all of them were strong with similar dreams and wishes to protect what they hold dear, and that made it very easy for him to make most of the Four Blues into his area of protection.

And it was at this moment, a Den-Den-Mushi rang, the sleeping figure stood up without any delay, his golden eyes seemed to shine brightly in the dark. After accepting the call, he heard a voice coming from the Den-Den-Mushi.

"Boss. Someone is fighting high up in the sky." After hearing this, the man closed the call, he closed his eyes for a brief moment before opening them. He used his Observation Haki and with only that, he could sense around fifty thousand meters around himself, he could easily sense the dozen or so islands high up in the air and the battle between a lightning giant versus the Golden Lion.

His golden eyes shined coldly for a brief moment as he suddenly waved his left hand upwards which split the entire mansion into two, and not enough with that, the air and sky seemed to be split into two too. And not even a moment later, the man vanished, all that could be seen was a dark cloak around himself.

-High up in the air-

Sylver was getting weaker, and it wasn't too long before his Titan form would end, and when it does, he wouldn't have too much strength left to either fight or escape. And as the seconds passed by, his Titan form ended, and it didn't take another brief second before his body was stabbed by Shiki.

Shiki stood in front of Sylver, his eyes were coldly gazing Sylver while he had a sword in his left hand that was stabbed into Sylver's stomach. "As I've said, you should be proud. The Golden Lion will not lose against you, a mere child!" Shiki's voice was cold, and he raised his right hand and punched Sylver with a huge force.

Sylver fell around a hundred meter before his body stopped falling, his lips were bleeding and he had blood running down from his left eye and from the wound of his stomach. It took around three seconds before the wounds vanished as he could still heal himself.

Before Sylver could do anything else, a gigantic boulder at a size of a mansion flew towards him. He infused both lightning and Armament Haki into his hands as he slashed his hand from high up downwards, and that sent a lightning which cracked the boulder slightly. But still a large piece of the boulder crashed into Sylver's body.

*Guah!* Sylver vomited blood as he heard almost all of his ribcages snap, and he could sense that his lunges were punctured by his own ribcages. Sylver had a hard time breathing untill around ten seconds passed by until his injuries once again healed themselves.

As Shiki was gazing at Sylver's healing ability, his eyes narrowed once again, he couldn't allow someone like Sylver to live. Because in time, Sylver would grow much stronger and he would surely come back for him. Shiki was about to move forward to cut Sylver's head off his neck, but something stopped him, it was a gruff and deep voice.

"I thought that I told all of you morons in the New World that the Four Blues are under my protection...!" A fiure clad in a black cloak appeared high up in the sky, standing there, gazing at both Sylver and Shiki, only his golden eyes shined brightly. "Leave unless you want to die, Golden Chicken!" His gruff and deep voice sounded out once again as his gaze went towards Shiki.
