One Piece - Justice Of The Celestial Dragons

As the large Battleship was nearing the island, the more Sylver felt himself getting cautious and worried. He knew that the reason for his feeling was because of the upcoming battle against Rocks D. Xebec. Sylver was gazing at the island with a slightly narrowed gaze, preparing himself mentally for the fight.

And by his side, was Hanc.o.c.k standing near him as she held onto his arm. She understood what they were going to do, but she wasn't worried at all. Hanc.o.c.k was trusting Sylver's abilities in being able to find a way to defeat the troublesome bug that thinks he is something more than what he actually is. Because in her mind, everyone other than Sylver and his parents weren't too important.

"Darling, you don't have to worry yet, we haven't met him. He may he a weakling for all we know. Therefore, just relax your mind so you are prepared to do your best in the battle." Hanc.o.c.k tried reassuring Sylver in a calm tone as she kissed his cheek softly.

Sylver gave a nod before replying. "You're right, I don't have to worry now, not yet at least." Sylver replied casually, but he was still gazing towards the island, drawn by the sensation he was feeling. He didn't know if the sensation was something good or bad yet, but he wanted to find out.

Time passed by slowly but surely as they neared the island, when they were only a kilometre, everyone stood side by side at the front of the Battleship.

"Rocks most likely knows that we are here. Solely because of that, we must act fast. I want to split our group into two." Whilst Sylver was speaking, he gazed at his parents, his friend and fiancée. "Mom, dad, Buggy, Hanc.o.c.k, I want the four of you to move slowly towards the island. Figure out where Rocks is hiding Doflamingo and then rescue him if possible. Retreat if any of you have a bad gut feeling, because I don't think Rocks would leave the area unprotected. Whilst I, Dragon and Admiral Akainu will clash against Rocks, our goal isn't to defeat him yet, only to stall him till Doflamingo is rescued."

Hanc.o.c.k, Buggy, Thor, Scarlett and Dragon nodded without thinking twice about it, they were all used to some degree of Sylver taking control of the planning for battles. But as for Admiral Akainu, he had a small frown on his face, he wasn't used to having someone ordering him to do something, even the Fleet Admiral would do so rarely, and now, a youngster was ordering him.

But Akainu didn't say anything as he wasn't stupid enough of doing that whilst everyone else were silent and agreeing to his plans. He could also barely remember his daughter; Akira mentioning that the young Celestial Dragon; Sylver, was rather intelligent and could take control of different situations. Akainu didn't know why Sylver was confident in his own abilities to dare taking control of a group of people that were as strong as Admirals or even stronger. Yet Akainu didn't mention anything, he would do so if the plan breaks apart.

After Sylver saw most of them nodding and agreeing with him, he gave a slight nod too before saying. "We're moving out, I'm going first to find Rocks. Dragon, Admiral Akainu, follow behind me as fast as you can." When Sylver finished saying this, he vanished with a gust of blending lightning appearing which made a booming sound.

Akainu couldn't believe it, the young Celestial Dragon moved almost too fast for his eyes to catch up on his figure. Akainu narrowed his eyes slightly, he had underestimated the strength of the young Celestial Dragon greatly. As Akainu only thought that the previous report of him defeating King was only a fluke and was possible because of the marines by his side.

"Akainu, don't stand there in a daze, we're moving too!" Dragon shouted as he already was flying in the air with the support of his Devil Fruit.

When Akainu gazed around, he saw that everyone was already on the island. He snorted as he jumped high up in the air before kicking his feet which sent him flying towards the island, following right behind Dragon.

Sylver on the other hand was already in the middle of the island, gazing down at a building. He could sense two auras in the building, one slightly weaker and one really strong; almost like a void s.u.c.k.i.n.g in everything around itself. He could already guess that the weaker one represented Doflamingo whereas the stronger one represented Rocks D. Xebec. He flew down and landed in front of the building that was looking crude.

"Why don't you enter, young devil." A voice sounded out from within the building, Sylver knew it was Rocks D. Xebec's voice, and the voice alone made Sylver shocked as he felt his Will breaking apart.

Sylver calmed himself down only after 0,01 second, he wouldn't allow his Will to break down, no matter what. A grin slowly appeared on Sylver's face as he strode inside the building. And when Sylver entered the building, he saw a throne in the middle of the room, with a man sitting on top of it.

The man was seemingly rather young, perhaps in his thirties, his skin was slightly tanned but not too much, there were a couple of scars on his cheeks and his eyes were dark as the void. But what Sylver noticed the most was his dark hair that moved around like tendrils, almost like it was alive and had a mind of its own.

"Huh." Rocks D. Xebec gazed at Sylver, his calm expression which he first had changed slightly, he narrowed his eyes. He wasn't able to feel it previously until he saw the young boy with his own eyes. "Ah, it seems like you are the one that it chose. But I have to say, I am greatly disappointed in what I'm seeing, you are nothing but a mere insect." Rocks D. Xebec's voice sounded out like thunder in the room, he sounded disappointed, but his eyes were staring at Sylver, wanting to find out more about him.

Sylver had no idea what Rocks meant by him being 'chosen by it', but Sylver had no time to time to think through it. As he was sure that if he went into a daze right now, he would be ruthlessly attacked by Rocks, and that could spell his doom. A smirk was apparent on Sylver's face as he mocked Rocks. "Tell me, if I am an 'insect', what will you be when you're defeated? You would be less than an insect, you would be worthless." And the moment Sylver said that, he felt something moving in the room.

"AHAHAHAHAHAH!" Rocks D. Xebec bellowed in a laughter, at first his laughter was seemingly warm and cosy, but it quickly changed into a cold laughter, his tendrils on top of his head began moving crazily around. A dark presence slowly crept around the room. But before Rocks D. Xebec could do anything, he saw a bright flash coming towards his eye. Rocks D. Xebec raised his hand and blocked the incoming lightning.

Sylver had quickly attacked without any restraints when he heard the change of his laughter. He infused his Armament Haki into his Devil Fruit and sent a quick attack towards his eye, hopefully to blind one of his eyes which would raise Sylver's chances in defeating him.

But when Sylver saw that Rocks defending his lightning, he turned around and left with a flash of lightning, only a booming sound was heard. He could sense everyone on the island. His parents, Buggy and Hanc.o.c.k were further away, preparing themselves to rescue Doflamingo when both Sylver and Rocks D. Xebec moved away from the building. Whereas Dragon and Akainu were near the shore, readying themselves for the battle against Rocks D. Xebec.

Sylver didn't need to turn around, he could sense that Rocks was right behind him. "Dragon!" Sylver roared out when he was near the shores.

Dragon was high up in the sky, he was flying downwards like a hurling meteor, Dragon was punching towards the figure that was chasing behind of Sylver. "Air Destruction!" Dragon roared out in a deep voice as a bust of air clad in a black Haki came out of Dragon's fist. It quickly engulfed Rocks D. Xebec in it.

And not a moment later, another voice sounded out from behind Rocks D. Xebec. "Red Hounds!" Akainu roared out too as he punched out several times as lava looking hounds were being sent towards Rocks D. Xebec. Akainu has eaten a Logia, the Magma-Magma Fruit, he could make, control and transform into Magma at will. And not enough with that, Akainu is nearing the Second Awakening of his Magma Devil Fruit whereas his Observation Haki and Armament Haki were only in his early First Awakening. His Devil Fruit could perform pure destruction and harm if he wanted to do so.

"Heavenly Lightning!" Sylver would never let such a good chance to attack go to waste. A lightning from the heavens fell straight down onto Rocks. But as he could feel his own lightning, he knew that it broke the moment it fell onto Rocks, barely doing any injuries other than making his nerves in his body twitching.

Sylver hastily used his Observation Haki and his Devil Fruit to see the Electro Field around Rocks. He used his senses and gaze to pierce inside of Rocks's body, Sylver wanted and needed to know Rocks's body. Sylver wanted to see if he could take control and make his body twitch without needing to attack him with lightning first. And if Sylver managed to do it, then he wouldn't need to attack people from exterior attacks any longer, but he could attack them from within!

It barely took a few moments before the dust, magma heat and lightning all vanished. And in the middle of a crater, was Rocks D. Xebec standing there, gazing at the three of them with a small smirk. His clothes were clad in his Haki, and his Haki managed to defend against all of their attacks.

But even if he looked fine, Dragon and Akainu knew that he was only putting up a façade, because he was slightly injured. The injury wasn't big, it was only a minor burn on his back and a small cut on his c.h.e.s.t. That at least meant that their attacks could go through his Haki, it may not be much, but it is at least a start for them.

"Sylver, you noticed, right?" Dragon asked Sylver whilst his eyes were staring at Rocks D. Xebec.

"I noticed it." Sylver nodded as he also was staring at Rocks. He knew he didn't have a moment to waste to glance at anything else, because if he did so, Rocks would most likely attack him. "We're going as we planned." Sylver spoke in a calm voice before he vanished from sight.

Dragon didn't say anything before he began rushing towards Rocks D. Xebec to fight him in close-combat, and Akainu was also moving towards Rocks D. Xebec in order to alleviate the pressure Dragon would be under battling against Rocks D. Xebec.

Neither Sylver, Dragon nor Akainu were stupid enough to say their plans out loud whilst Rocks D. Xebec was staring at them intensively with a grin. The three of them knew they only had to endure and stall for enough time till Thor, Scarlett, Buggy and Hanc.o.c.k managed to rescue Doflamingo. After that, Hanc.o.c.k and Doflamingo would return to the Battleship and the marines would row the Battleship away from the island and head back to Mary Joa.

Now that everything is going after Sylver's plans for now, he only needed to watch out happening and act upon the situations that might happen.
