chapter 24 YAMI YAMI NO MI AND TIMESKIP

the same night XEBEC sat up and got out from his bed ,he went outside and sat on the railings of the ship, he took out the yami yami no mi and ate the nasty thing .rocks spasmed for a moment before closing his eyes and meditating and enhancing his ki.

the next day when he opened his eyes he saw Lincoln moving around polishing his moves with his bokken and then his bostaff.lincoln had just finished his underwater training and weight training and he did his ki training before doing the others too.

rocks looked at him and suddenly moved and launched a punch to his cheek Lincoln barely missed it but he twirled his bo staff and hit XEBEC sideways making him move slightly and before Lincoln could regain his composure XEBEC kicked him in the stomach and sent him flying towards the sea .Lincoln flipped in air and grabbed the railings he took his staff and thrust it coating it with ki and haki.xebec dodged it and appeared beside Lincoln with his hand giving Offa dark colour Lincoln couldn't dodge it and was sent into the deep sea .

Lincoln concentrated his ki on his lungs and controlled ki in the ocean to launch himself to XEBEC with extra speed .Lincoln blurred and appeared beside XEBEC with his arms coated in haki and ki .rocks punched him in the guts and dodged the punch from Lincoln .

XEBEC - such a good morning spar !! you're growing stronger day by day arent you !!

Lincoln held his bo staff and thrusted it 14 times. with a drilling. motion ...

L - spear style ultimate move 14 drilling chain !!!

XEBEC titled his body with minimum effort missing the attacks by a hairs breadth and the attack went to the ocean creating massive explosions and sending the ship off the current they were riding

???- oye !!! Lincoln you fucker !!why the fuck did you do that !!!

XEBEC - hahahahah come on Sharon ! put us back on course !!

Sharon - fuckin hell !

XEBEC - hey kid have you ever wanted to walk on water ?

Lincoln -hmm? not rea-

XEBEC - I knew it you would say yes you're a kid after all !!!

Lincoln just shook his head and thought 'this guy just wants to show off .'

XEBEC all of a sudden jumped to the ocean and stayed on the surface of it .Lincoln looked closely and used his ki sense to understand what was going on .

L- that's fucking sick

X- I know right !!

Lincoln concentrated his haki on his soles and jumped to the ocean and fell down into the sea.lincoln climbed back up and tried again and again he tried that for 4 days and he finally got it ,that's when it hit Lincoln

lincoln : ' If I can control my haki to cover a part of the ocean or a certain range I can manipulate the ocean water and use it with my attacks against devil fruit users

Lincoln gained a sinister smile and worked on that be could do that for 6 minutes after a week of working ,the prospect of controlling the ocean was too hard .

he used his haki to cover it but made a layer of ki to make the water move and it needed to change every second. because it was sea water and it has salt in it.

3 months later ..

Lincoln has gained what he wanted done .

now he can control the water and make attacks like he wanted. for an entire day . he split his reserves and has 3 backups each smaller than the other but he won't have to be on low reserves any time soon other than fighting some really strong people.

the rocks pirates have gained control over another 100 islands and our crew has grown to the size of 10,000 pirates

a lot of admirals ,vice admirals tier 9&10 have cameto fight us but left losing because XEBEC has gained a good control over his both fruits and have merged it into his Zoan form .he has also learnt from Lincoln and made the sea control techniques but he also added his devil fruit into the equation making it a devil fruit eaters nightmare .

On this day we find Lincoln and Newgate fighting on the top of the ocean sending massive waves and making the nearby islands shake .

NEWGATE dashed and appeared beside Lincoln and punched him sideways sending Lincoln flying but as Lincoln was flying he spun his staff like a helicopter and flipped in air to gain his balance .

he landed on the sea surface and dashed towards Newgate and so did he .

they both clashed and teh surrounding waves grew to an unimaginable height.

the all of a sudden both Thier Bo staffs broke sending an even more pronounced shockwave .

Newgate used his ki to make his Naginata appear on his hands and so did Lincoln dothe same thing .

both of them smirked and leapt off again .

newgates bisento had a white fire coating on his blade above his haki and Lincoln had a blue frost ememating above his haki they both clashed and the result was the nearby islands were all destroyed partly and the island were around 40 km away the sea was in flames in Lincolns side and the sea was covered in thick ice in newgates side . Lincoln and Newgate fought for another 4 hours before Lincoln lost and Newgate was heavily panting .Lincoln lost consciousness while standing so Newgate brought him back on the ship and let him sleep on the bed

Lincoln woke up the next day and he whistled for a buggle paper which was sent by seagulls .

the title said

THE THREE BENEVOLENT MONKS STRIKE AGAIN THEY ARE LIBERATING ISLANDS UNDER PIRATE RULE IN PARADISE AS PART OF THIER JOURNEY TO SPREAD HARMONY !! THEY ARE THIS GENERATIONS CREME OF THE CROP FROM THE SHAOLIN TEMPLE IN THE CALM BELT !!"

Lincoln just smirked and set the newspaper on fire with his ki.

lincoln looked at the hung over fucks in his crew and went to train shaking his head .
