Yiv Pt.1

Its been 9 days since Percy and Orange left Marineford in search of Yiv. They initially went to Bloom Peak only to discover that he's left about 2 days before their arrival. They were disappointed, but were determined to find him even if they have to chase him through out the entire Grand line.

Each passing day made them more frustrated because they believe they were playing a game of cat and mouse with the old pirate. Every time they arrive on an island, one of the residents tell them that they are one or two days late causing them to feel frustrated.

"That's it!" Orange yelled as she stomped into the vice admiral's office. She was followed by Percy who also felt aggrieved, this was the sixth time they missed Yiv.

"Deploy all available marines, have them scour the ocean for that old man!" she continued to yell as she sat down.

"We can't" Percy began before she cut him off

"I want a contingent of troops blocking reverse mountain so we can corner him like a bug." She exclaimed as frustration was written all over her face.

"That... may be possible. I can make a few calls" Percy replied as he thought that this was a good idea. "Why don't we just meet Yiv there?"

"?" Orange looked at her boss confused.

"What I mean is, we know that he is heading to one of the Blues right?"

"Yeah..." Orange said as she didn't follow

"We know that in order for him to leave the Grand line he would need to cross back across the reverse mountains..." Percy tried to lead on.

"! I get it. We beat him there. Instead of us chasing him, we let him come to us."

"Correct, though I still need to confront him on an island. It would be catastrophic if I fought him on top of the sea."

"That's true" Orange said as she thought about which island to choose from. "How about Little Garden, there's no one there."

"What about the giants?" Percy asked as he was thinking about Dorry and Brogy.

"Giants? I never heard of giants on that island?"

[Isn't those two giant captains supposed to be fighting on that island right now?] Percy thought as he was trying to remember the One Piece timeline. [No, yeah, yeah they are fighting]

"They're there" Percy assured her. "My intel said so" he lied to her.

"We can have them move?" Orange thought as she was trying to figure out the logistics behind moving 2 giants at once.

"They have their pride, they won't move for anyone, especially when they're pirates." Percy informed his second.

"Then what about Catsburry? It's unpopulated and near the Red line."

"Never heard of it, as long as we meet Yiv there I'm happy."

*********************************************************************************************************

Yiv was on a small boat drifting between naps as the waves were passing him by. He was island hoping and did not have a care in the world. He wanted to take a vacation after all these years.

[This is the life.] Yiv thought as he stared into the bright sky. No worries. I don't have to care about crewmember troubles or try to expand my territories. Nothing to worry about].

He activated his haki and noticed that he was close to an island. He was about to make his ship faster when he noticed it. A strong presence was on that island it seemed to be staring right at him.

[Strange] Yiv thought as he sped his boat up. [There shouldn't be an admirals around and none of the emperors can spare the time to chase me down. Plus, there shouldn't be anyone this powerful in this half of the Grand line. Unless they are specifically looking for me. I guess it's been too long since I bared my fangs. Let me show them why they call me Suijin.]

As he got closer to the island, Yiv raised his eyebrows in surprise. There, sitting on a rock, was a young marine. He was around 25-30 years old and was exuding his conqueror's haki in all directions.

[Young] Yiv thought as he got closer. [Strong, but young. Should be someone looking for accolades, never heard of him though.]

A few minutes later, Yiv jumped off his dingy ship and landed on the beach next to the man.

The man of course was Percy.

"You should be Yiv, the Suijin." Percy stated as he left no room for arguement.

"I am" Yiv said as he stared at the marine, "and you are?"

"Vice admiral Percy" Percy said in a casual voice, "I am here to arrest you."

"Arrest me, me!" The pirate started to laugh "Pupupupupupu. Boy, your too young to even start thinking about arresting me. Wait a couple decades until I'm about to die to ask me that again."

Yiv started to walk back to his boat when he stopped because Percy said,

"I know you ran away from Xebec. Do you want to run away from me as well? I guess that's all your worth."

Yiv turned around with a ferocious glint in his eyes,

"What did you say to me, b-" he said in a low, menacing voice.

Before he could finish his threat, Percy cut him off,

"You know what? On second thought, your not worth my time. Fine, I'll allow you to leave."

Clearly Percy was trying to piss off Yiv enough for him to stay so they can fight. If Percy read the situation correctly, he just completed his task.

Yiv didn't say anything, but Percy could feel it. The sea started to churn and the island began to shake. Percy looked around and noticed that a tornado started to form out of the sea water around him. He clenched his teeth and he too started to channel his powers.

Darkness exuded from his body and started to cover the ground.

"That's why your so cocky." Yiv said as if now understanding the situation. "Indeed, the dark-dark fruit is strong enough to content against me, but only Xebec was strong enough to. You, humph, are just an ant."

Percy didn't say anything as he shot out his hand and darkness rushed towards his target. Not forgetting to coat all his attacks with haki this time, he tried to end this quickly by swallowing Yiv in a dark cage.

How could Yiv not understand his opponent's motives. He quickly dodged and used the ever growing water spout to attack Percy. The vice admiral, seeing a massive water spout charging at him, gritted his teeth and pushed the ever growing darkness towards it.

The two powers connected and for a second, the water overpowered the darkness because of the sea's innate ability to nullify his devil fruit. But, with the haki reinforcing him, the darkness quickly dispelled the water and calm returned to the beach.

Yiv grunted and started to create high pressure water jets aimed at the marine. Percy saw this with his awakened haki a couple seconds in advance and started to dodge ahead of time.

"Oh?" Yiv sneered at the running vice admiral. "It seems like the ant knows a little about haki, how cute."

Percy grinned and created black holes around him. When he made 6 of them, he thrust his hands out towards Yiv and his attack went forward.

Yiv knew that he could not take those attacks head-on, he also didn't want to use haki because he thought it would be a waste of stamina. He decided instead to jump onto the water where he would have the advantage.

The black holes followed him and started to consume all matter around Yiv. The pirate quickly retreated while pushing high pressure sea water towards Percy. Percy quickly coated his arms in haki and tried to resist as much as he could, but the sea water was still dampening some of his powers.

[Damn] Percy thought as he stared at his opponent. [This is a lot tougher than I initially thought].

The vice admiral pointed his hand in the air and used his darkness element to attract any nearby meteors. Four meteors answered his call and started to plummet towards the earth. Yiv looked at that and grimaced. He usually did not deal with those kind of attacks and was unfamiliar on how to cope with them.

The former pirate captain started to finally shift to his zoan form. Yiv grew from 11' to 16' and green scales started to form on his arms and legs. A golden crown also appeared and he started to radiate an otherworldly aura in Percy's opinion.

[The fight starts now] Percy started to pump himself up. The first phase was over. The real fight starts now.
