I'll come back

(Switch to Johan's perspective)

"James you'll be fine just do what I say and nothing will happen to you. I'll make sure to look for you and I will find you I promise." I say to James his eyes start watering up and his little lip starts quivering.

"Please don't die." He says in between little sniffles.

"I won't die James." I say patting his little head and then flying off before he can see the tears starting to form in my eyes. "I won't die." I repeat to myself flying back to the island where it all began. It's nothing but the endless sea until little chunks of land start to dot the ocean.

"There you are." I say to myself seeing Vex's ship still smoking a little from my attack. I throw a fireball at his ship deliberate missing so I can get Vex's attention.

"HAHAHA JOHAN YOU'RE BACK!" Vex says with a sick smile on his face. "I can't believe you're that stupid to come back. I wasn't going to go after you but since you came back might as well finish the job. FIRE!" He yells.

"CRAP!" I yell throwing up a wall of fire. I wasn't expecting him to be ready to fight as soon as I came back. Around 5 cannons fire in unison and the cannon balls melt in the wall of fire. "YOU HAVE TO DO BETTER THAN THAT!" I say before throwing barrage of fire balls at the ship they pepper the ship in little flames some hitting a couple of the crew members.

"FIRE AGAIN!" Vex yells. I throw up the fire wall again but this time an explosion happens and I'm clouded in a black smoke I can't see my hand in front of my face even though it's on fire.

"HAHHAHAHA HIT HIM WITH THE WATER!" I hear Vex laugh.

'Water?" I think before a cold stream smacks me in the face. Immediately I lose all of my devil fruit powers and I fall to the water.

'I'm sorry James. I couldn't keep my promise.' I think as I fall to my death. Instead of hitting the water I smack onto a deck of wood.

"I'm not gonna let you die that easily." Vex says walking through the clearing smoke and grabbing me by the jaw. He pulls his fist back and punches me in my cheek. I fly across the deck spitting out blood as I get up. "Come on why aren't you trying?" Vex jeers. I stand up trying to ignite myself but I'm still a little damp from the water so I can't use my powers. Vex swings at me again but I dodge it and give Vex a strong punch to the gut.

"How'd that feel?" I ask with a smile as Vex doubles over.

"HAHAHAHA LIKE A CAT HIT ME!" He laughs, my eyes go wide as I get picked up and thrown into the sails. "C'mon aren't you supposed to be powerful?" Vex says with a little frown.

"Shut your mouth." I say standing back up. I try to ignite but it still isn't working.

'WAIT! If I go into the powder room and start a fire I'll be fine and dry!' I think to myself smiling at my genius plan.

"What the hell are you smiling about?" Vex says walking over to me. I run down the stairs to the powder room. "WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!" Vex yells I can hear his feet pounding into the deck chasing after me. I burst into the powder room and dump gunpowder on me before grabbing a rope and violently start sawing myself with the rope the powder starts smoking before igniting in a flash. I ignite and get covered in fire the most fire I've ever produced since I got my power.

"Have fun now Vex." I say to myself before throwing flames and exploding the powder room I make sure to burn a hole above me so when I explode the room I can fly out. The room explodes and I fly upwards through the hole I made.

"WHAT THE HELL!" Vex yells as he lurches forward and falls from the unexpected explosion. I throw a fireball at one of the crew members hitting his face and melting it.

"How about we play fair?" I say flying up to where Vex is punching him with a fiery fist.

"AAHHHH SHIT!" Vex yells as his left side gets engulfed in flames. I keep the barrage up and hit Vex with everything I have until he becomes a human flame like me. He's screaming and flailing around holding onto his skin so it doesn't fall off from being burned as badly as it was. His face is starting to peel off before he jumps off the side of the boat.

'he's gonna die soon.' I think to myself as I start lighting the whole ship on fire. I smash the sails and kill anyone who tries to stop me or gets in my line of sight. The charred bodies of Vex's crew are laying around the ship some still wiggling around screaming in pain. I fly up and watch the ship burn as it sinks to the bottom of the ocean.

"I'M NOT DONE JOHAN!" Vex screams Holding onto a plank. "I'LL COME BACK!"
