Chapter 12 – The Crimson Terror Dungeon Part – 1.

Unknown Area

If you look from far from the sky, you can see three islands close by each other.

They make the shape of a triangle, but one part of one of these islands is brighter than the others.

It is not because of lights or anything, it is due to one man.

This man was laughing madly as he was producing fire from his hands.

"BURN HAHAHAHA, if you all won't come out, I will burn this island even if this chest doesn't open. I will burn till it reaches you all, hiding underground. If you give me the key, I will let you all live in peace and disappear from here. If not, I will burn you along with the chest and island to ashes. HAHAHAHAHAHA."

At the edge of the island a portal suddenly opened, a man came through it.

This man was wearing a straw hat, his shirt was opened in the middle with his chest being seen.

He had a sword attached to his waist, he looked like a boy of the age between 18-20.

"Shit," he cursed.

Before he could continue cursing, he looked in front of him as he could see a huge fire burning at a long distance.

A screen came in front of him.

Andrew POV

The Dungeon has already started. The people have hidden underground which means no one has still died. I can do this.

I then looked at myself, for some reason I felt I was a different person and I looked at the nearby pond to see my face, and man did I not expect this.

"Am I Gol D. Roger?" I uttered as I sucked in the hot air. I saw the screen again with a timer on it.

[00:24:32, till the death of the first Villager.]

"Better start moving."

I rushed towards the fire, "I have to come up with a plan. I have to bring his attention towards me and the only way I can do that is by making his numbers decrease and cause destruction."

I released my Observation Haki and I could sense everything around 50 meters.

I picked a few stones and I put them in the pockets of my shorts. I am wearing shorts, I forgot to say that. To put it easily I am wearing Roger's outfit when he asked Rayleigh to join his crew.

I soon sensed a few people in my range of Haki. I turned and rushed towards and saw them in a few seconds.

There were 3 of them.

I took two stones in my hand and coated them in Armament Haki and flicked them towards to of them. The stones were heading towards them and I was rushing to the last one. I drew my sword with Haki coated on it.

The three soon heard me as I was running at them. I was not stealthy as this island itself as my legs destroyed some branches. I have to come up with a way to control my movements.

Two of the three fell as they were turning. The stone went inside the back of their heads and lodged itself as if it found a home.

The last one took his sword and slashed at me towards my head. I slid down and cut both his legs. He started to scream in pain.

I stopped sliding and slashed back with my sword cutting his head off.

I started to move again but this time I felt as if my speed was down and the pressure around me started to increase.

"What is happening?"

I felt the pressure increase around me, I felt as if the weights were placed on me.

"Is Gravity increasing or my body weight? Is someone having a Devil Fruit of this type?"

This is going to be troublesome. I don't know where he is. He should know observation Haki and his range must be higher than mine. I can't stop as the timer is going down as well. 2 minutes have gone by already and I have only killed 3 of them. There are 121 pirates, 7 commanders left before their leader, wait… the Commanders, do all the Commanders have devil fruit and Haki? This is not going well. A voice brought me out of my thoughts.

"Kid, you dare kill my lackeys? Are you from the village, if you are, give me the key fragment now, I will let you go," I turned to look at him and he is at least 8 to 9 ft tall? And behind him, there were at least 20 of them with different weapons in their hands. But from the way they were holding them, I could tell they were amateur pirates.

"Key?" I thought.

The screen popped up and the Collect ??? changed to Collect Key Fragment.

"Kid, I am benevolent, but don't test my patience," as he finished saying that the pressure increased 2 folds.

I was on my knees, "This is not good, I don't think I will be able to complete the dungeon even with 3 lives if all of them have some kind of Devil Fruit or Haki."

I released Conqueror's Haki and that made me feel the pressure disappear and I took this chance to throw my sword with Armament Haki at him. It pierced his right shoulder.

"AHAHHHHHHH," he yelled and removed the sword, but before he could regain himself, many stones came at him.

His body was riddled in holes and the Pirates behind him were shocked at what had just happened.

They could not understand how. I was just on my knees but now I am standing and their commander is standing with holes in his body.

Thought so, he is not well versed in Armament Haki. His body is strong but that alone is not enough.

I used Soru and took my sword and rushed at the Pirates who brought themselves out of their thoughts.

"Kill this motherfucker"

"Everyone attack till his body is in pieces."

There were 23 of them if my count is not wrong.

They were not at all trained, they were just slashing their weapons as kids do. They did not wait or use chances, they all rushed at me like idiots. I don't know if there is something wrong with their brains.

In 5 minutes, I killed all of them, but I lost a good amount of energy.

[00:16:48, before the first villager is killed.]

Before I moved, I heard some movements. I turned back to see kids and women.

"Big Brother, are you here to save us?" asked a kid bit scared as he saw around me.

"Yes, I am here to save you"

"Mommy, see I told you he is here to save us."

The woman who the child talked to was skeptical.

"Are you here to save us or are you here for chest?" she asked.

"Chest? Is that why these pirates are here and you all are in this state?"

She did not answer as she was trying to see through me.

"Mam, I don't know what you want but I have to leave"

I was about to leave, when she spoke, "Wait, here have this," she handed me a fragment if I am not wrong.

The moment I touched it, it changed to 1/10.

"This is a key fragment, if you have all the 10, you will be able to open the chest. Inside the chest, you will see have what you require to defeat him."

"Can't I just break the chest?"

"Won't it be possible for him to do it then?" she pointed toward the village.

"I have to leave, head towards that direction there are boats at the edge of the island, leave through it," I said and disappeared using Soru.

The woman sighed, "Why didn't he let me say what is in the chest?"

I was now moving in another direction.

If you see from a distance, you will see me in a different place as you blink. That's how much I have improved in Soru, but it does take my stamina, though not like in the beginning.

"They are there, go after them and get the key now," yelled a Pirate, another commander.

I headed in the direction of the sound and found a few villagers running towards where I was right now. I hid and saw the villagers run by me. I released sword waves in all directions. All the pirates chasing after them were cut into pieces due to it.

"YOU!!!!! KILL HIM AND GET THE KEY"

Only 7 of them were left and they came after me yelling that they will kill me and rape the women from the village.

I showed no mercy when I cut them all in half.

ROAARRRRR

I saw the commander if I am not wrong, turn to a bear.

"A Zoan Model Devil Fruit: Model Bear"

He pounced at me which I dodged and before I could retaliate his claw was at me and I had to use my sword to defend myself. I was pushed back due to the force of the hit. How am I going to kill this guy?

He was mad that is all I can say, all my attacks were rendered useless as the cuts in his body healed at a ridiculous pace even if I inflict heavy damage with Armament Haki it gets healed. One attack from him and I am good as dead.

"You will die today kid and I will feed on you as you watch your life go," he sounded in an animal wrathful voice.

"One attack with my full power."

I channeled all my energy, I don't know if this will work or not.

He was rushing towards me, I used Soru and came at him.

Before his claws could reach me, I dodged using Geppo, I was upside down in the air and used Geppo again as I was on top of him with full force.

BOOOOMMMMM.

Smoke filled the area and I was shot out of it like a rocket and banged myself onto a tree and broke it in half and came to a stop after that.

*cough* *cough*

I coughed out blood and I saw him on the ground that was destroyed due to the sheer force I used in my sword and fist along with Armament Haki.

He was lying on the ground without moving. He was back to his human form.

I stabbed my sword and punched him at the same time.

There was a dent in his chest and his right hand was missing and my sword was penetrating the ground. with his hand being near to it.

"I w… will… will… k… kill…" he coughed out blood continuously.

He stopped moving.

My ribs were broken and it was difficult to even stand up.

"Shit. Not good." I sensed a few coming here.

I tried to get up, I couldn't.

I don't know if my luck is high today, it was the villagers who were coming here.

One man rushed towards me, "Son, are you alright?"

A lady came and said: "His ribs are broken and he is bleeding from the inside, he will die soon."

"Give him the liquid," said the old man. I looked at him questioningly.

"This something that we have developed in our island, drink this and you will be fine."

The lady took out a bottle with a shining blue liquid inside it. She opened the cap and brought it towards my mouth. I started to drink it.

I started to heal, I felt the pain and started to yell as my ribs were attaching themselves back and my stamina started to increase along with it. My bruises were also being healed and in no time, I was back to my peak strength.

"I don't know who you are, but I will give you this as I don't see any darkness in you. Find the remaining keys and open the chest, as the chest holds the one that will give you the power of the Sun and only that will help you kill the Cyrus Terror. I hope you can protect this island." The old man said and gave me 2 key fragments as I got up.

"Thank you," I thanked them and took the two keys.

The lady then gave me three more bottles of the liquid and I placed them in my inventory.

[Inventory: Health Potion, Stones x13]

"We have to get to the edge, some of them will already be there, only you and Clay know the navigation skills. Clay has already gone to the other end. It is good we created the underground passage 4 years back. Let's go," said the old man to the other.

"What is your name?"

"I am Rhaegar D. Damon, and this my wife, Laura and that's my gramps and village Chief, Rhaegar D. Klaus, I hope you can stop him and like my gramps told the chest will help you," said Damon.

"Why did you not use it yourself?"

"We made a promise to someone that we will give it to the one with your hat," said Klaus, Damon's Gramps as he pointed at my hat.

"We have to go, open the chest, and use it if you want to defeat him," Damon said as they all started to run towards the edge of the island.

[00:07:23, before the first Villager is killed.]

"The way that fire is burning how did no one die due to it. I don't think Cyrus is a fool to do this. Or is he trying to burn that chest the villagers talked about?" My thoughts were running as I was going to my next destination.
