One Piece - Justice Of The Celestial Dragons

Sylver turned around towards Boa Hanc.o.c.k, he had a small smile on his face. "Hanc.o.c.k, this man – Buggy D. Zimmerman will be a part of our 'crew'. I am sorry that I can't talk with you for now, but I really need a nap." Sylver had a playful tone whilst speaking to Boa Hanc.o.c.k, he didn't want her to worry about him for now.

Boa Hanc.o.c.k nodded as she smiled back, but she could clearly see that Sylver was barely able to keep himself awake. She stood still, watching Sylver walk towards his room. She turned towards Buggy with slightly narrowed eyes as she asked in a slightly cold voice. "Who are you?"

"I am just a simple man." Buggy replied in his usual gruff and deep voice before explaining further as he saw Boa Hanc.o.c.k furrow her eyebrows. "Whilst I am helping Sylver on his path, he is going to help me on my path." And after saying this, he stopped, Buggy turned towards the sea and gazed at in the horizon with a peaceful expression.

When Sylver finally went to his bedroom, he could finally relax, he was about to lay on the bed and close his eyes. But his Den-Den-Mushi suddenly called out. "Pururu-pururu."

Sylver squinted his eyes slightly before sighing, he then grabbed the Den-Den-Mushi in his pocket out and answered the call. And as he answered the call, the Den-Den-Mushi changed into a look-alike of a pink flamingo.

"Hey brat, I heard some interesting news. Hehe, have you had a fun trip so far? Meeting calamity in one way or another, hehe." Doflamingo's voice sounded out from the Den-Den-Mushi, Sylver could clearly hear Doflamingo's teasing voice, but he didn't think much of it.

"Mhm, really? Why are you calling, it shouldn't be because of the relaxing trip I've had so far, right?" Sylver cut Doflamingo off right away, he had known Doflamingo for a decade, and Sylver knew him well enough to know that Doflamingo wouldn't call him unless it was important.

"…" It was a brief pause before Doflamingo's voice came from the Den-Den-Mushi. "Why are you going after Shiki The Golden Lion?" Doflamingo's voice was rather deep as he asked this, and Sylver knew for certain that Doflamingo was concerned about him going against Shiki.

Sylver let out a small smile as he replied in a calm tone. "You know, the usual thing. World destroying plans, like killing all of Humanity and the like."

"Are you sure you can take him on? If you want, I can come and support you." Doflamingo asked in a serious tone, but Sylver shook his head at once while replying.

"I alone wouldn't stand a chance, if you had asked me that yesterday, I would surely have accepted your help. But, now I have found someone that will stand by my side to fight against Shiki. Besides, don't you have important things to do?" Sylver raised his eyebrows slightly, as he knew for certain that Doflamingo was hunting something or something, and he had been doing that for the past few years.

Sylver didn't hear Doflamingo reply and this made Sylver furrow his eyebrows. "Doflamingo, tell me, what are you hunting after? If you need any help, just tell me. Because, I will rush towards you at any given time and aid you with all my power." Sylver's voice went slightly deep as he stared into the Den-Den-Mushi's eyes.

"No, I won't need you for this 'hunt'." Doflamingo answered, but when Sylver didn't say anything, Doflamingo continued speaking. "I am hunting 'Rocks', you don't need to worry about it, I can handle this by myself." Doflamingo replied with a snicker before ending the call with Sylver.

Sylver furrowed his eyebrows as he thought of the word 'Rocks', he didn't know if Doflamingo meant a material or a person. But as he was barely able to keep himself conscious, he laid on the bed and closed his eyes.

Two weeks passed by with Sylver staying on Water 7 with his 'crew'.

Bell-mere and Boa Hanc.o.c.k were seriously training during this period, trying to get used to their Devil Fruits. Nami and Nojiko were usually playing and slowly learning to use their Devil Fruits too, but they didn't train as much as Bell-mere and Boa Hanc.o.c.k.

On the other hand, Sylver and Buggy were trying to find information about Shiki, wanting to know where he was hiding. Because Sylver knew that he couldn't let Shiki go off the hook, which would lead to many million civilians dying.

After two full weeks, Sylver finally got some news from the Cipher Pol agents, that a floating island was spotted travelling towards South Blue from the Paradise.

Sylver went towards the cellar where Bell-mere and Boa Hanc.o.c.k were training. He went inside without knowing, and he could see Bell-mere and Boa Hanc.o.c.k having a sparring session.

Boa Hanc.o.c.k was in her Humanoid Beast Form, the only thing that was changed on her body was the nine red tails that were sprouted from the buttom.

Meanwhile, there was at least a dozen Bell-mere's surrounding Boa Hanc.o.c.k. They were all different, some were large with gigantic weapons, others were looking normal other than the parts of their body was changed into something like a beast, like claws and furry legs.

"Mhm…" Sylver hummed in a low voice as he gazed at them. Sylver sensed something 'wrong' with what he was seeing, therefore he used his Electrofield and Observation Haki at the same time. After finally seeing the 'truth', he couldn't help but to smile.

Boa Hanc.o.c.k suddenly moved forwards, her nails turned long and she clawed the Bell-mere in front of her, but after her nails went inside of her, she vanished. Boa Hanc.o.c.k wasn't even shocked as she used her right leg to block an enormous axe that was about to hit her head. And not even a brief moment later, Boa Hanc.o.c.k's nine tails turned slightly bright as a red-looking orb of flame was created, and it became larger and larger, expanding quickly.

And the moment Boa Hanc.o.c.k did this, all of the Bell-meres' rushed towards Boa Hanc.o.c.k, wanting to stop her flaming orb attack.

Boa Hanc.o.c.k managed to block and support herself with little to no effort. And after five seconds, the ball of flame exploded and destroyed all of the Bell-meres'. But after the explosion, Boa Hanc.o.c.k felt something cold near her neck, yet Boa Hanc.o.c.k was smiling.

Bell-mere had made a 'fake' reality where Boa Hanc.o.c.k was basically fighting no-one at all whilst she was invisible to the eye. And when Boa Hanc.o.c.k finally made the final attack, she moved forward and placed her sword on Boa Hanc.o.c.k's neck. But when she saw Boa Hanc.o.c.k smiling, she knew something wasn't right.

Bell-mere gazed downwards and saw half a dozen red tails around her body, aiming for her vital spots.

"You are good, but you underestimate Haki too much. I sensed that everything was 'fake', but I went with it as I could catch you off-guard." Boa Hanc.o.c.k replied in a calm voice, she was able to train with Bell-mere over the two weeks, and she could clearly see that Bell-mere was growing stronger very quickly.

"Yeah…" Bell-mere sighed as she retreated a few steps. As the two of them were silent for a moment, they suddenly heard clapping.

"Good. You are both getting stronger." Sylver commented as he clapped. But after a few seconds, he stopped, his expression turned serious as he spoke. "We found Shiki. Me, Buggy and the two of you will fight this battle against Shiki and his crew. We have gotten this chance, and we can't let it slip from our hands, and I don't know if we can get such a chance later in the future. Therefore, we must win…!" Sylver's normal soothing voice wasn't present, only his deep voice which he only used when he was serious.
