Chapter 17

" Which one of you kill my crew?" The man ask with a scowl on his face. After he ask that question only then he take a careful look at his soon-to-be opponent, first his eye land on the big man and his eye widen a bit in surprise before taking out o bounty poster under his fur coat

" The 'Demon Heir' Douglas Bullet fancy meeting you here. I heard you cause quite a few ruckus and destroy a couple of island during these couple month. I didn't think you are brave enough to came to my island and make a mess here, are you tired of living already?" Bullet hearing that shift his attention from Shanks to him and approach the man with powerful step and only stopping a couple meter from the man

"Crocodile, I've been searching for you and here you are showing yourself in front of me. I didn't think the most notorious man on west blue is here hiding under someone else banner, but it's obvious seeing how weak you are" Bullet said in challenging tone as he stood opposite the man that was now known as crocodile

"Don't get full of yourself bullet" Crocodile said with a smug confident grin " Calling someone else weak when you cant even defeat your former captain, unlike you once I'll step into New World I'll take whitebeard head for myself and replacing the strongest man itself" sand start rising around him as he finish his word

" Don't get cocky at me CROCODILE!!!" Bullet raise his fist and deliver a haki coat punch at crocodile who raise his golden hook in return to meet that blow

Boom

Their clash create a powerful shockwave making both of them take a step back from their position

"You're worthless in front of me Bullet, and this is my domain" sand start to surrounding on bullet feet and form a sharp spike aiming at his body. But despite that Bullet simply ignore the spike as it struck him and unsurprisingly it didn't even penetrate his skin as he simply brush it off and rush at crocodile once again

"Tsk" making a small tornado made of sand appear on his hand he throw it at Bullet as it become larger and engulf him. Crocodile jump backward and put his hand on the ground and transform it into sand

Within the tornado Bullet is surround by powerful gush of sand as it continue to obstruct his vision. Getting irritated by it he swept his hand clearing all the sand in his surrounding and continue to rush at crocodile

" Such a weak attempt crocodile"

"…." Not saying a word crocodile raise his hand and another wave of sand make it way toward Bullet who just punch it way through at him.

As they get closer once again Bullet fist and crocodile Hook clash once again, however this time bullet follow his attack with kick to his liver

Noticing that attack crocodile turn his body into sand and spilt his body in half making bullet attack past through him, he soon follow it by launching a sand spike at Bullet head who avoid it with tilted of his head but it manage it scratch his face making it bleed through it

Bullet in return coat his other hand in haki and punch crocodile chest making his back away and cough up blood in return.

Materialized himself away from bullet, they both stare at each other in silence. Bullet has blood leaking from the cut while crocodile has blood leak from the corner of his mouth but they both has different expression of their face

While bullet has that wide lust-battle grin of his face, Crocodile has irritated look on his face seeing that the battle is not in his favor

"Come on Crocodile, is that all you got" Bullet wipe the blood leaking on from his cheek and taunt him more

" Then die you bastard" Visibly irritated he rush at Bullet once more as his opponent also did the same.

As they are about to clash however

*Burst*

*Slash*

Bullet look down at his chest to see a large hole on it and Crocodile only see his body got farther away from him without his head and burst of blood from his neck.

"!!!!" coming back to sense they both jump backward with heavy breathing. Bullet trace his hand on his chest only to find it completely find, Crocodile did the same thing and have a firm gasp on his neck. Right now the both of them only has one questions in their mind

'What the hell was that!?'

Then they heard a voice that made them stop midway on their thought. They both pause whatever they 're thinking and look at the source of that sound and what they saw is Yuuto watching them with bored eye as he sit in cross leg position with a fist under his chin beside a child.

" Are you guys done playing around?" Yuuto eye them up and down in unamused gaze " Go elsewhere if you want to continue fighting but don't come here causing ruckus. And you stich boy, don't play with sand here or I turn it to mud" Yuuto said in annoyance lace in his voice while brush the sand that got stuck on the girl hair. He said it in a tone that made it seem that he own this place

Shanks and Buggy watching from the sideline sweatdrop at that, both of them has the same thought

'Oldman, we're the one who is crashing the party here'

'Who is he?!' Bullet and crocodile thought at the same time

"Who are you?" Crocodile ask in cautious tone, although he is prideful and arrogant he's still caution about some unknown variable that might danger him. After all he still want to have everything under control

"…" after glancing at crocodile for a flee moment his attention went back to the little girl, dusting the dirt and dust away from her dress he then look at her in her eye " Do you want to be my daughter?" he smile brightly as he ask the questions

' This is not the right time you shitty old man' Shanks and Buggy thought while Mihawk wipe the sweat that is forming on his forehead.

The girl in question tilted her head in confusion but then lower her head sadly

" Am I going to be useful if I become your daughter? Because mommy said I'm her useless daughter before" she said sadly with tear start forming in her eye " A-and then mommy don't want me anymore so she sell me. She said atleast I have some use in the end *snif*, a-are you also going to sell me?" she look at Yuuto with teary eye

In her mind being a daughter to someone in similar to once again being unappreciated and getting sold when they get bored of her. And she is also traumatized by her 'mother' who abandon her and how she treat her

Yuuto hearing what she says and felt the turmoil that is going on inside the girl head choose to stay silent. He take out a cigarette from his hoodie pocket and lit it up, after a moment of silent he finally ask.

" . . . . She's still alive?"

"Mommy?"

"….. Yeah"

" She's still alive, she live at the island on that direction 20 kilometers away from here" She said while pointing her finger at where her island suppose to be

"Hmm, I'm curious about how you know the way but I'll ask later. Now my final question, do you love her? If your 'mommy' die, will you be sad?" Yuuto ask for the first time in serious tone. The girl lower her head and contemplate, he seems to forget that he's dealing with a 5 years old here.

Her face is amusing to look at as it keep changing from thinking, complicated, confuse and at the her eye swell with tears more and look at Yuuto

"I-I Um.." She cant finish as crocodile angry voice interrupt them

"DON'T IGNORE ME YOU BASTARD" He shout angrily and his hand change into sand and was about to rush them

*Swoush*

Before he can take any action Bullet beside him already rush at Yuuto with face full of excitement and a wide battle craze grin

Shanks and Mihawk was about to rush and block him but Yuuto raise his hand and stop them. He stand up leisurely, the cigarette still in between his lips and look at Bullet in indifferent gaze

"YOU'RE STRONG!!" Bullet shout as he cock his hand back and ready to unleash a powerful punch at Yuuto

"Is that so. . . . Since you compliment me that much, I'll response it kindly. . . " he step forward with one hand in his pocket, Bullet already infront of him and his hand fast approaching his face

As it was inch away from Yuuto face. . . .

*Plop*

Like a rock hitting water surface, Bullet punch didn't make what it expect it to be. No powerful explosions, no strong shockwave, nothing. Only a weak *plop* is heard as Yuuto palm stop his momentum.

Still having his Bullet on his Palm Yuuto pull out his other hand from his pocket and a miniture size staff flew to his hand from between his ear and slowly expending until it reach it's original size

"… You're weak" Bullet tried to free his hand from Yuuto grip but fail to do so as Yuuto hand his gripping his finger [ because his hand is giant compare to Yuuto]

Yuuto then thrust the tip of his staff directly at Bullet left side of abdomen

*Tap*

He then retract back the hand that's holding Bullet fist, but strangely bullet still stay in his previous pose

'I-I cant move' he thought and start panicking inside

"I don't know what My son saw inside of you to let you alive till now. And I know he's not that soft to let someone who want to claim his life alive this long. . . . . Or maybe he's grown soft" Yuuto said as he observe the panicking man infront of him. He then turn to his disciple and said " Remember the attack base on shockwave I told you about? Now let me demonstrate on living subject"

But before he do that he turn to the side and said to the girl that watch all of this with curiosity

"Do you to see a human fordable chair?"

The girl just nod cutely at that, and with a smile Yuuto step forward

< 1% percento powaaa….

He cock back his arm that holding the staff and take a deep breath, his muscle tense and vein start showing as he thrust forward aiming at the center of Bullet chest

…. Bull Thruster>

The thrust seems slow on the eye of who is watching, but as it connected with a *tack* the ground behind Bullet start crack slowly reaching the end of the island, and then….

*BURST*

A Powerful Shockwave bursting from bullet back eradicating the ground behind in V shape until there's no land can be seen as sea water start to fill the gaps

"ARGGGGGHHHHHH" Bullet scream in pain as he's experiencing an unbearable amount of pain all over his body, and as he was about to lose his conscious from the pain something is blocking him from fainting. His ribcage shatter to pieces from the impact as he coughing out blood and he fell to the ground

Luckily or unluckily he's still alive even after all of that with his conscious remain

Crocodile who start running away from getting swept by the impact start cursing outloud

" Fuck, Fucking hell. Who the hell is that bastard, and who the hell is his son" He said as he start running away from the scene and escape from this island " I better get the fuck out of h-" He didn't get to finish his word as he heard a voice behind him

" Where are you going boy" Yuuto who suddenly appear behind him speak in bland voice. He tap crocodile in the same place he did with bullet to disable his movement

"Wai-" even after unable to move he tried to talk it out but a staff connected to his jaw and the outcome is obvious. As it connected it shatter his jaw. He then throw crocodile on top of bullet and sit on them

"Ahh~ this remind me of old time….. but with less body I guess"
