Chapter 80

[Vlad's fathers P.O.V.]

(Day 400)

I ripped off one of Robert's arms.

"AAAAHHHH!"

Ken walked out of the coffin room.

"Oh, what is this? Why aren't you running? Did you finally lose your mind?"

He ignored me and walked towards the stairs?

"What are you doing? I'm about to kill your friend."

He didn't say anything and walked up the stairs.

*CRUNCH*

*BOOM*

I killed Robert, and I appeared at the top of the stairs.

"Kekekeke. That's 1. Up to the next."

Instead of running towards Sabo or trying to kill me like he always does, he opened up a window.

'What the hell is he doing?'

He suddenly dived out of the window. I quickly went to look, and all I could see was blood and organs.

'Kekeke, he is finally losing it. Just a couple more times and I can finally destroy him.'

(Day 420)

These last 20 days he kept vomiting suicide, and all the life has completely disappeared from his eyes.

'I should wait 80 more days before I destroy him. That will guarantee me a complete victory."

(Day 500)

'This is the day.'

I teleported the both of us to the throne room. He didn't react to the change of scenery and immediately went for the window.

'Perfect.'

*WOOSH*

I appeared in front of him.

"Now that you've been in this hell for 500 days, I can finally destroy you and take all your powers."

I grabbed his head.

'I can use Haoshoku Haki and the Curse of Binding to completely destroy someone's soul who has completely lost his will to live. But this technique also has a large drawback. If he overpowers my soul right now, I will get destroyed instead. And since I'm just a small part of the main soul, I can easily be taken care of.'

I smirked.

'It's not like I have to worry with how this guy is right now.'

He suddenly smiled and grabbed my arm.

"Hahahaha! You're so stupid! When you grabbed my head, I was able to read all of your thoughts. I don't know how, but I do know that you're screwed."

"Impossible! You just killed yourself 100 times! How can you still have the will left to oppose me!?"

"Hahahahahaha, I've never lost my will! In fact, it's quite the opposite. I just knew that you were waiting for me to lose my will, so that's why I was jumping out of the window over and over. Oh yeah, thank you."

[Ken P.O.V.]

"WHAT!? IMPOSSIBLE! How can you have Haoshoku Haki!?"

"I was quite surprised that you didn't notice. I unlocked it on the first day. The moment I saw Robert like that it immediately unlocked. But it disappeared right after because you somehow were able to stop me from using my power. But now that I'm stronger than you, you aren't able to stop me anymore."

"Then were you faking everything till now?"

"Not really. It took me 300 days till I finally realised how stupid I was. But those 300 days did help me improve my Haoshoku Haki really quickly. It's too bad, that when I noticed that this was just an illusion, my progress completely stopped."

(An: What he means by that is that his raw will power has increased, but his control is beginner level. So he needs to train a lot to completely master all his power. So he is just a level 1 rookie, with a level 50 weapon.)

I strengthened my grip on his arm.

"Sigh."

'I was so stupid to believe that this was all real. But what can I say, When you've seen everyone you care about die in front of you over and over again, you tend to not think straight.'

"Well, goodbye, little devil."

Shockwaves appeared around us. The little devil and the world around me started cracking like glass.

*BOOM*

The whole world got destroyed, and everything turned dark. I opened my eyes, and I saw a wooden ceiling.

"KEN!"

Someone suddenly hugged me.

"Calm down, Deuce."

"What do you mean, calm down!? Do you know how worried we were about you!? What happened to you!?"

"We'll talk later. We have more important matters right now."

'Sigh. Good, everyone is still alive.'

I climbed out of bed.

"Wait, you might not be better yet."

I smiled.

"Don't worry Deuce. I'm better than I've ever been."

"Tsk, you're so stubborn. Fine, I'll have your back then."

"I'll be counting on you then."

We walked to the deck, and I suddenly felt a heavy pressure. Deuce almost fell down, but I grabbed him.

"KEN!" x14

I smiled.

'I can finally calm down a little now that I see that everyone is fine with my own eyes.'

I looked at Vlad's father.

"How did you wake up!?"

The pressure disappeared.

"Impossible!"

I was about to give an awesome speech that would make everyone look at me awe, when suddenly...

"KEN!" x2

Ace and Sabo suddenly hugged me.

"You bastard! How dare you be so reckless!" screamed Ace

"You fucking scared us, you bastard!" screamed Sabo

I hugged them back.

"Sigh. I'm fine guys. I was just doing some training."

*WOOSH*

The Devil suddenly appeared in front of Laffitte.

(I'm calling Vlad's father, the Devil.)

*WOOSH*

I appeared in between them, and I grabbed his hand before he could hit Laffitte.

"How rude of you. Couldn't you see that we were having a moment?"

"Tsk, I don't know how you've gotten Haoshoku Haki, but don't think that you're something because of it."

*BAM*

I kicked him on his right leg, and he almost fell down, but before he could stabilise himself, I kicked his other leg.

*THUD*

He fell on his back. I tried to kick him again, but he rolled out of the way and quickly pushed himself up, but I appeared right in front of him and punched him straight on his face. He flew off the ship and fell on the island.

*WOOSH*

Brogy suddenly jumped into the air above the Devil.

"Giants Ax Swing!"

He swung his axe down onto the Devil! Instead of the huge impact I was expecting, The axe stopped right before it hit the ground.

I looked at the Devil suddenly got wings and fangs.

'So, he has the mythical zoan vampire fruit. That explains a lot.'

Suddenly, Dorry, Oimo, and Kashii also jumped off the ship and towards the Devil.

*BOOOM*

They swung their weapons on top of Dorry's axe. Dorry and Brogy are using Haki, and the combined efforts of the four giants seemed to be too much for him to handle.

*BOOOOM*

They hit the ground, and a huge crater appeared. The Devil managed to jump back before he got hit.

"Urouge, go and have fun."

"Thank you, Captain!"

He jumped off the ship and started running towards the giants.

"Dorry, Brogy, Oimo, Kashii, help me out." said Urouge

"No problem." said Dorry

The giants ran towards Urouge, and they put their weapons away.

*BOOM*

Urouge crossed his arms in front of him, and the giants all punched him. He got sent back towards the ship. I caught him before he crashed. He has become 5 times bigger.

"You okay?"

"I feel amazing. With this power, I don't fear anyone!"

I grabbed his ear.

"Auw, Captain!"

"Why do you look so scared? Didn't you say that you didn't fear anyone?"

"Anyone, except for my Captain!"

I let him go.

"Good now, go and get him."

He disappeared and appeared in front of the Devil who had a shocked looked on his face. Urouge tried to punch him in his face, but he managed to dodge to the right before he got hit.

"Perona, create a distraction."

"What kind of distraction?"

"Create huge garlic soldiers."

"Huh?"

"Just do it."

"Yes, sir!"

She turned five of her hollows into garlic soldiers and made them go after the Devil. When he saw the garlic soldiers, he immediately got scared.

*BAM*

With that little distraction, Urouge managed to land a hit. The Devil got sent flying into the castle wall.

"Argh, you bastards!"

I felt a wave of Haoshoku Haki envelop Perona, making her fall almost fall down, and the hollows disappeared. I used my Haoshoku Haki to push his away.

'He managed to spot that it was fake really quick, but we got a hit in. And that blood coming out of his mouth tells me that it hurt.'

I smiled at him.

'Since he embarrassed me so hard with his little illusion, I will make him feel the shame of losing against my crew, without me directly involving myself with the fight. For someone with a huge ego like him, that will feel worse than dying. Well, nevermind that last part. He would do anything to stay alive.'

I looked around, and everyone seemed ready to fight.

"Ey Brook, how about you play us some music fitting for this situation."

"Yohoho, of course, Captain."
