The Fight for the Treasure 5

Nikita POV - Blue Star, Grand Line, Nanatsu Islands(Hi) - 20 GAP 

Once I see that Hi Island's shore is close enough for me to reach with a single jump, I can't hold back anymore, I look at both Jayr and Seika and say, "We are finally close enough! Jayr, Seika, I'm going now! Thank you for everything you have done for me until now!"

And I truly mean it, when I lost my Champions' Challenge against Jayr, I was truly desperate, especially after learning that traveling the Omniverse would be a lot more dangerous without my Concept Blessing if even possible at all, so in the end, my only choice to have a chance to reunite with Zandeer was to ask for help to the person who just defeated me.

It was a somewhat risky bet, as while I knew he was a somewhat good person, I couldn't be totally sure of it but luckily I won that bet spectacularly. 

After knowing him for so long, I realized that Jayr is truly a genuinely good person and so are his girlfriends, well mostly, when I returned to his home world with him, Eri sent Noriko after me to find out my true intention toward Jayr and that was a crazy experience, luckily I already had quite a lot of experience with that kind of scary supernatural creature as my sister Hope and I had to face them almost on daily basis, but even with that, Noriko almost scared the shit out of me. 

But once she learned that I was already in love with someone else and only asked Jayr to help me reunite with him, she started to warm up to me too.

In the end, Jayr, the girls, and the kids welcomed me into their family, and I too started to see them in the same light as Hope and the rest of my family and started to genuinely care for them too, especially the two cute kids who see me as their cool playful aunt. 

In response to my words, both Seika and I smile back at me, and Seika even encourages me saying, "Go and get him!" while Jayr adds, "But don't forget about stopping the rampaging pirates and helping the people on this island. You can always make out with your boyfriend after you have taken care of that."

This embarrasses me a little as he knows I tend to lose sight of my surroundings, but then I focus and tap on my Magical Power to quickly cast a useful Biological Spell, chanting, "Viribus."

Quickly after that, my body briefly glows and I feel myself getting many times stronger and faster than before, and without any other hesitation, I quickly jump to reach the shores of this island.

This is a Biological Spell called Strength Augmentation Spell, a spell that allows the casting witch to alter the strength of themselves or another person.

Biological spells allow witches to affect the organic tissue of a living being by changing the state of a body and its natural processes, although it is most commonly used for healing, other spells can be used to paralyze the body or preserve the recently deceased, and under extremely rare circumstances, it can be utilized to rapidly advance the age or completely alter the state of life, basically, it is similar to the Metamorphosis Magic that Eri, Tio, and Jayr use, only it is somewhat weaker in pure raw power compared to their Metamorphosis Magic but more versatile and less costly in Magic Power.

As soon as I land on the shore, I once again tap into my Magical Power to cast another spell, this time, it is from the Cloaking and Illusion branch of Magic that I learned, which is divided in, Cloaking Spells which allow witches to either render a being, location or object physically undetectable to the senses or magically undetectable by locator spells, making it so that magic cannot track them, and Illusion Spells, an advanced form of Cloaking Spells that allow witches to project into the mind of a target and affect the senses to perceive a false reality of a being, location or object which they can then manipulate. 

I quickly focus and chant, "Phasmatos radium calaraa." once again, I feel my Magic Power follow my command and envelope my whole body, but nothing changed or at the very least it is so in my eyes as for now, I'm completely undetectable to everyone, in fact, I'm sure that even someone proficient with Observation Haki won't be able to detect me, after all, even Jayr in his currently limited state isn't able to easily detect me when I use this spell, of course, if he goes full power on me that quickly changes.

This is the Illusionary Cloaking Spell, more commonly known as an invisibility spell, this spell allows a witch to cloak themselves and their targets, be it a person, object, or certain locations, completely based on one's perception, however, this spell can be disrupted by magical objects, moreover, the distance in which a witch can cloak their target is directly proportionate to their level of skill in this spell. 

After casting the Illusionary Cloaking Spell, I don't hesitate any more and quickly rush toward the location where the sounds of fighting, explosion, and screams are coming from, the main village on this island, Hitori Village.

On my way there, I instantly realize that the situation is even more chaotic than I expected, as there are fights happening everywhere on the island, and it seems that there are three different forces fighting all over this island for the treasure.

One group is an unknown Pirate Group, they all wear their Jolly Roger on their bodies some as tattoos, others printed on their clothes, which consists of a serious bear head, with the classic two crossed bones behind it, it also has the symbols of a deck of cards around it, with the spade on top, the club below, the diamond on the left, and the heart on the right.

This is the most numerous and savage group as they are basically attacking everything in sight, their numbers are extremely exaggerated they almost look like a swarm of locusts, with many men swarming against a single opponent, but despite that, they don't hold any overwhelming advantage against the members of the other two groups, meaning that their main advantage is only their numbers but their overall individual strength is way weaker compared to the other two groups.

The second most numerous group is also formed by pirates, and just like them they all show their Jolly Roger in some way, which consists of the classic skull with two crossed bones behind it and in the background an ornate gold disk.

This second group is clearly fighting with the first one over the treasure hidden on this island, and it is obvious that they don't care about how many casualties their fighting is causing, in fact, it is clear that most of them are enjoying the current situation, moreover, this second group is way stronger individually than the first one as every single member is able to fight off multiple people of the opposing group. 

Meanwhile, the last group is way less numerous than the other two, in fact, I only glimpsed a couple of them running around as they focused on rescuing the innocent people of this island caught in the cross-fire between the two pirate groups and knocking out those that cause the most damage. 

But even with that, I'm easily able to recognize who they are as their attire and Jolly Roger couldn't be more recognizable.

They all wear pale-lilac boiler-suit apparel with the crew's Jolly Roger emblazoned on the left side of the chest, which consists of a smiley face with protrusions coming out from six directions, they are clearly members of the Heart Pirates, the pirate crew of Trafalgar D. Water Law which brings a smile on my face as I remember that Zandeer told me that he quite liked his character.

So, with renewed vigor, I rush toward the center of all this chaos, Hitori Village where the battle is the fiercest, of course, on my way there, I still remember Jayr's warning and make sure to knock out all the pirates in my way so as to reduce the damages caused by their fights as much as possible. 

Once there, I'm greeted with a truly chaotic sight, the whole village is set ablaze and there are pirates fighting all over the place, while the members of the Heart Pirates are running around helping the villagers, rescuing them, and giving them first aid, and helping them safely escape.

But my full attention is caught by 3 especially chaotic fights in which 9 people are taking part, whose power and abilities are clearly way above everyone else present here.

One is a three-way fight between a muscular man with a large, downward-pointed nose, a predominant jaw, small eyes, and short brown hair, he wears a black eye patch, brown, short-sleeved shirt, brown skintight pants, and brown shoes, he also wears a brown bracelet and carries around a dark brown bag from which he pulls out one small bomb after the other as he carelessly throws them around trying to hit his opponent while yelling "Hahaha! Fear the might of Marc the Raging Blast of the Simon Pirates! This is what I always longed for! I've long grown bored of all the "peace" talk going on within the crew! This is how a pirate should live!"

He is fighting against a large man with black hair and whiskers, who wears a furred captain's jacket with the collar shaped like a golden spade, a blue shirt underneath with clover, heart, and diamond symbols that has the top part unbuttoned, and a large teddy bear hat, his arms are relatively thin compared with the rest of his body and like his chest, they are covered in hair, with fur armbands on his wrist.

The man is easily able to tank all the explosions from Marc's small bomb with his own body, and strangely his skin seems to shine just like some kind of metallic substance, at the same time, the man laughs and says, "Hehehe! Marc, your small bombs are useless against the power of the Kachi Kachi no Mi which allows my body to become as hard as a rock! Give it up, the treasure will fall in my hands, in the hands of Bear King of the Trump Pirates!"

With this, I finally learned who the two unknown groups taking part in this chaotic battle are, the most numerous group is the Trump Pirates, a pirate crew I have never heard of before but which still seems to have considerable power, especially considering their numbers and the other are the Simon Pirates, the pirate crew of Simon "The Divine" the unheard Seven Warlord of the Seas which makes it possible for him to be the Champion who reincarnated into this world, and also the main reason behind all this chaos. 

Meanwhile, the third participant of this fight couldn't be more recognizable, he is a slim young man of a relatively tall height, he has faint shadows right under his grey eyes, and wears the usual knowing smirk that can be easily seen on his face. 

He wears his iconic northern-style fur hat, which is white and has a spotted pattern along the bottom and the bill which partially obscures his short dark hair, but not his sideburns and a small goatee. 

Many tribal-style tattoos can be seen on his arms, and on both of his hands are letters spelled as D E A T H tattooed in black on each of the back of his fingers, he also has a black cross on the back of both of his hands and on his chest, he has a tribal-style heart tattoo with his Jolly Roger on it. 

He is currently wearing a yellow hoodie, with black sleeves and a black hood, the hoodie has his Jolly Roger printed on the front of the chest area in dark ink, and he keeps the sleeves rolled up, in addition he sports a pair of jeans with odd dots on both the knee and ankle areas, similar to the ones on his hat, but darker in color with a pair of dark, pointed shoes, and also wears a pair of small earrings on each ear. 

He is Trafalgar D. Water Law, the captain of the Heart Pirates who is calmly dodging all of Marc's small bombs waiting for the right moment to act, but it is clear that he is still holding back while leading these two pirates away from the center of the village to avoid involving innocent people in this fight and increase the number of casualties.

After all, he still didn't use his Devil Fruit Power, the Ope Ope no Mi, one of the most overpowered Devil Fruits in circulation, especially in the first half of the Grand Line where Haki isn't common, meaning that there is no actual defense against it.

Another fight is basically three people ganging up against a singular polar bear Mink, he wears an orange jumpsuit that bears the Heart Pirates' Jolly Roger with small brown boots and has sharp teeth and claws. 

He is as tall as a normal bear, considerably taller than common humans, he is Bepo the navigator of the Heart Pirates, who is struggling against his three opponents who seem to have very good coordination among them.

The first one wears a helmet with the number "1" on it, goggles, and a brown shirt, which gives him the appearance of an airplane pilot, he also wears a jet pack covered in fur, with the thruster located at his rear end, under his helmet, I notice that he has slick black hair, parted to one side and pointed ears.

He is flying around with his jet pack as he releases some kind of gas from its thruster which forces Bepo to jump back to avoid, while he laughs and asks in a mocking tone, "Hehehe! What is wrong with teddy bear -gas? Is Skunk One of the Trump siblings too scary for you -gas!? What do you think Boo Jack -gas?"

I don't know if the reason for that is because it is too foul smelling for the poor Mink or if it is poisonous, but considering that Bepo seems very keen on steering away from that gas and that man is literally called Skunk One both options are possible.

The second one is a fat man with a pig-themed outfit, he wears a bandanna-like hat with a pig's head design, a yellow shirt with a "J" printed on the front, suspenders, and his white, furred armor, he also has furred arm, and elbow bands, he is moving around with unexpected agility using a monocycle.

(Image Here - Boo Jack)

It is clear that he is Boo Jack as he replies, "Boo! You are wrong, brother! The reason for that is because he is too scared of me and of my Toge Toge Armor! Isn't that right, Pin Joker?" 

While saying that, Boo Jack deploys some spikes from his white, furred armor, and launches them at Bepo, who is forced to kick them all away while still retreating from the gas that comes out from Skunk One's jetpack.

At the same time, from behind a man with long black hair tied up in a ponytail and a stitched scar across his face, extending from the right forehead to the left cheek tries to stab Bepo with his rapier, but Bepo is able to dodge the attack at the last minute. 

The man has a red marking on the right side of his face and a tear-like design on the left, he wears a strapped vest over purple clothes with a diamond design and a yellow furred collar, overall, he resembles a court jester.

He looks menacingly at Bepo and replies, "That's right, Boo Jack. He will creep what he sow... Facing all three of the Trump Siblings on his own is too much for everyone..." 

Bepo looks back at Pin Joker unsure of how to act for a few moments before correcting him, "Uhm... excuse me... maybe you mean he will "reap" what he saw... "creep" doesn't make much sense..." which anger Pin Joker who yells, "You insolent!" and once again tries to stab him with his rapier only for Bepo to dodge once more.

But it is the third fight that caught my attention the most, one of the participants was a tall, slender woman with long blonde wavy hair tied in twin tails and dark brown eyes, she wore revealing yellow clothes and a purple fur coat with pink spots on it, she also wears red high-heels and a fishnet stocking over her right leg.

She launches large waves of lilac-colored, syrup-like liquid which sweeps away all the buildings in her surroundings as she tries to hit her target, at the same time, she laughs and says, "Hohoho! Come on, let big sis Honey Queen capture you and we are going to enjoy a good time together... I know you want it after all, you aren't fighting back!"

The way she releases that syrup-like liquid immediately makes me realize that she ate a Logia Type Devil Fruit, but that isn't the reason why this fight caught my attention the most, nope, the reason for that is her opponent.

He has a very familiar figure, he is a tall and handsome young man with an olive skin tone, reddish-brown hair, and amber eye, his attire consists of a white Japanese hakama, a black sash, and an elegant white jacket that he leaves it open to expose his muscular chest, he also has a long straight sword strapped on his back.

But he isn't a human, and it is clear by the hole in place of his left eye and the bone-like structure around it, a clear sign of his real race, he is a Hollow from the Bleach Universe, and not a normal Hollow at that, but an Arrancar, a Hollow that was able to break off its Mask gaining Shinigami-like powers, he is the reason why I'm on this island in the first place, my very close friend, and someone I hope will be something more in the future, Zandeer Firror.

Of course, the reason why Zandeer isn't obliterating that whore by shooting one of his Cero up her ass but is simply leading her away from the populace while dodging all her attacks is because he is the kind of guy that absolutely refuses to hit or harm a woman no matter what she does, completely foolish on his part, but that kind of dedication toward his values is also something that I like a lot about him.

After seeing the overall situation, I decide that it is time for me to act while thinking, 'I can finally let loose after so long... training with Eri, Tio, and Jayr isn't fun at all, one has an army of powerful and unkillable Undead of the likes that would make most of the Necromancer in my home universe have sleepless nights for the rest of their lives, the other is a fucking galaxy buster Dragon, and the last one is a freaking God capable of attacks able to erase a freaking multiverse!'

At the same time, I take a deep breath and once more look at my surroundings making sure to plan ahead each one of my next actions, 'First of all, I have to reduce the number of pirates fighting all over the island, then I have to take Zandeer's place and take on that whore so that he can help Bepo with his current predicament, after that the rest should be easy, as Law can easily take care of those two, so after that we should focus on rescuing the people living on this island and give them medical attention...'

Once I go over my plan, I don't hesitate any more and start to act, I stop to channel my Illusionary Cloaking Spell, and once again tap into my Magical Power to cast a new one, and chant, "Ohun. Pada." which materializes my voice into a ball of sound, and soon after that it radiates outwards and as it comes into contact with something it reverberates and emits a call out to me, making me learn the position of everything in my surroundings.

This is the Echolocation Spell a very useful Biological Spell, especially in situations where you can't rely on your sight like a dark room or cave, or when you need to know the exact position of your targets like in this case.

Quickly after that, I chant another spell, "Venez sanguis. Venez sanguis, Venez sanguis la force de la bête à moi." this time, the effect of this spell can be seen all over the battlefield as all the blood that poured out by both the victims of this chaos and the assailants gathers in front of me forming a huge ball of blood.

This is a Blood Gathering Spell, a simple spell that enables a witch to telekinetically gather and collect the blood of a specific target to one point, whether it is the witch's blood or that of another person, I did modify this spell a bit to allow me to gather all the ownerless blood on the battlefield so that I won't drain someone to death by mistake, basically, I'm gathering all the blood that is splattered on the walls or ground of this village leaving behind the one still coming out from the wounds and circulating within the body.

Of course, such a big movement attracted the attention of everyone on the battlefield, but this is fine, as I already made all the preparations I needed, and now there is nothing they can do to stop me.

I smirk and cast another spell by chanting, "Vitris!" and instantily the huge ball of blood transforms and hardens, turning into contless sharp needles that I then launch with the last spell of this combination, "Motus!"

With pride I watch as all the blood needles shoot out like homing missles toward all the targets I commanded bringing down most of the pirates fighting in this village with pinpoint precision while avoiding the civilians and the members of the Heart Pirates, of course, the stronger pirates where still able to defend or avoid this attack, but their number is extremily low now, which will makes things a lot easier for the Heart Pirates.

I can't help but nod satified with the result of this combination while thinking, 'This attack is the result of combining the Blood Weapon Creation Spell, a Biological Spell that uses hardened blood to form a glass-like weapon and the Telekinesis Spell, an Offensive Spell to induce telekinesis, it is similar to the passive, non-verbal telekinetic power used by most witches albeit, it can be a lot stronger, more forceful or directed variation of that with the targetting ability of the Echolocation Spell and the useful Blood Gathering Spell to gather enough blood to form such a big number of weapons. It is a perfect attack when you have to deal with a big number of weak enemies.' 

But then I also quickly realize its flaws, 'Well, there are downsides too, first it takes some time to prepare everything, and second, it can only be used in large scale battles like this one, after all, it is impossible to gather so much blood normally.'

While thinking that, everyone on the battlefield notices my presence and quickly realizes that I'm the one behind such big movement, making them stop as Law stare at me with his eyes narrowed, while both Marc and Bear King yell enraged, "Who the hell are you!?", "How dare you attack my men!?" 

At the same time, I also notice that the fight between Bepo and the three brothers, Skunk One, Boo Jack, and Pin Joker stopped with the four of them staring at me with their eyes open wide in shock.

But the one that brings a bright smile on my face is the cute look on Zandeer's face as he stares at me with a mix of surprise, happiness, and disbelief, then after a few seconds of silence, he snaps out and yells, "Nikita!!"
