"So Captain Smoker wanted to deal me with himself" with a smile, Cer playfully said, "But do you have the ability to defeat me"
Cer then jumps back and his smile widen more. His figure suddenly started to distort and two heads sprouted from his neck. He began his transformation into the full body Cerberus.
He knew that with Smoker's devil fruit, he can't defeat him as his physical attacks won't do anything. But by transforming into a full Cerberus, even if Smoker attack him, it won't do any damage to him. For now this fight will become the test of endurance on who will be able stand much longer.
"This is bad!" Smoker's brows tighten when he saw Cer transforming into his devil fruit. He shouted to his subordinates, "All of you, get out of this area right now!"
When they heard Smoker's shout, they all turned only to see a huge three-headed dog releasing a very vicious aura around him. Some paled while others immediately run listening to their captain's orders. They all knew that the current situation was very bad. And they could get implicated in the fight between the two if they didn't go away.
After fully transforming into a full body Cerberus, Cer's left head immediately spit out a column of fire raging towards Smoker.
"Let's see if your devil fruit can cancel this!"
Fwoosh!
Seeing the scorching flame coming towards him, Smoker knew that he was in a bad situation. He look behind him and saw that some of his marine soldiers were still there running away. If he dodges this fire, these marine soldiers will definitely be burned to death.
Without any choice, Smoker decided to attack head on.
"White Blow!" a dense of smoke blasted from Smoker's arms and head straight towards the fire the Cer blew.
The two attack collided with each other and fire and smoke rises towards the sky lighting up the area. The marines that were running away look up in the sky in amazement. For them, this is the first time they saw someone countered Smoker's abilities. Because almost all of the pirates that went to this town, were all trashed and captured by Smoker.
"Hm" a silent sound escapes from Smoker's mouth as he felt something. He could feel the heat from the fire burning his arm which greatly confuses him. As a Smoke, fire shouldn't be able to do anything towards him. So he was left daze thinking on how did this happen.
Boom!
An explosion sounded in the air as the combined attack exploded. Smoker woke up from his dazed state and wanted to issue another attack, but then he noticed something around him. He was surrounded in black fog and he could feel a tingling sensation from his skin. It was like his skin was being dissolve.
What he didn't know was that when their attack collided, Cer already make his next move. From his right head, a poisonous dark fog came out which covered the whole area with the two of them inside.
'Even if you are literally a human smoke, I guess you still have to breath to live, right?' this was what Cer though when he made this move. He thought that even if Smoker had eaten a devil fruit which makes him a smoke, he definitely still have to breath. With the poisonous fog surrounding the two of them, Smoker will definitely breath some of this poison fog.
"This is bad!" a bad feeling rises from Smoker's heart when he feel a kind of suffocation in his body. He just realized that this black fog around him is poisonous, and breathing it will definitely cause a huge damage, or even kill him if not cure immediately.
"Puff!" several seconds later, Smoker spit out black blood from his mouth. He knew that the poison fog has already entered his body. His vision started to become hazy and his whole body has started to feel numb. He knew that he needed to get out of this place immediately.
Swoosh!
Smoker's whole body then transform into smoke and rushes towards the black fog to breakthrough and get out of the enclosure. But what he didn't know was that Cer already anticipated this move of his.
Cer's eyes flashed a light and from his left head, another pillar of fire came out. This time directly rushing towards the desperate Smoker who wanted to get out.
"I've already saw this, you will stay inside this place!"
- - -
Outside the black fog, Tashigi and other marines were fighting against Sid who was using despicable moves against them. Everything about him includes poison as even his clothes were covered in poison. Some of the marines already fell victim to him and was now lying on the ground with several black spots on their body.
Howl!
Suddenly, a loud howl came from inside the black fog which stops them. They all turn their heads towards the black fog which is slowly disappearing. After a while, it finally revealed what was inside.
In the ground, Smoker could be seen kneeling while continuously coughing out black blood. With a single glance, Tashigi and the marines knew that he had been poisoned and looking at his current situation. They knew that it was grave.
On the other side, a huge three-headed dog was standing proudly with its three heads staring down at them. Just by looking at its appearance was enough to scared them. Slowly, Cer's figure started to change and he returned to his normal appearance.
"If you still want to let your captain live, I advise you to immediately take him to remove the poison from his body" walking towards Sid, Cer said, "I really didn't expect that you would be this despicable. When I first saw you, I thought you were just really an innocent doctor. Who would have thought that..."
Hearing Cer's words, Sid just smile in embarrassment and the two laugh loudly.
Tashigi cast a glance at the two pirates before running towards Smoker, "Captain Smoker, let me help you"
Smoker look up at Tashigi and let her support him. He knew that if he stayed in this state for several more minutes without being cured, he will definitely die. Although he didn't want to accept that he had been defeated by a young pirate. He was still sensible enough to know when to retreat, especially now that his life is on danger.
With Tashigi bringing Smoker away, the other marines didn't dare to arrest the two and left.
"Now that the problem is gone, we need to buy some supplies for our journey to Grand Line. But before that, lets go first to the execution platform where the Pirate King was executed" Cer said and started to walk while Sid followed behind him.
