"Legios"

Legios

"----------

"Before anyone complains or says anything, yes, I copied Legios' powers from another anime"I just can't remember its name, but it was pretty awesome."

"----------------

"Why are you so small? What happened to you?" Chopper asked in surprise as he looked at the mini Kara.

"Mmm. I'm a part of her, not the real one," Mini Kara said quickly. "And I got bored of staying in her pocket, so I escaped." She smiled proudly.

"Eh?!" Chopper looked at her astonished. "You have your own consciousness?" he asked hurriedly.

"Something like that… By the way, wouldn't it be better if you started moving?" Mini Kara pointed at the ceiling, which was beginning to crack and was about to collapse. Another battle involving one of the Straw Hats must be happening nearby.

"Damn! Let's run!" Rab said hastily, but he barely took a step before his body began to deflate like a balloon, collapsing to the ground completely stiff.

"Hey, what's happening to you?" Chopper asked alarmed.

"When the effect wears off, my muscles become completely useless for a while," Rab responded, lying face down.

"Hurry up!" Mini Kara said as Chopper picked up Rab and started running with her on his shoulder, enjoying the ride as if it were a fun adventure.

"So... You're a miniature copy of Kara? That makes me feel a bit safer," Chopper commented with a sigh of relief.

"No. In this form, I'm incredibly weak, something like 1% of the original's strength. I can't use my power either," Mini Kara said calmly. "Though if she splits into a thousand Mini Karas, that would be 0.1% of her strength."

"Then you're useless," Rab said, dangling from Chopper's arm.

"With 1% of my strength, I'm enough to defeat both of you, you weaklings!" Mini Kara proclaimed proudly, puffing out her tiny chest.

As they ran, they encountered Zoro, who seemed to be heading towards them for some reason.

"Zoro? The entrance is that way. We need to go where you came from," Chopper said hurriedly.

"Stupid, his name isn't Zoro. It's... what was it again?" Mini Kara said, confused.

"Why are you small now? Wasn't I supposed to be doing something?" Zoro asked, looking at Mini Kara on Chopper's shoulder.

"Don't mind me, I'm just a fugitive," Mini Kara replied with a grin.

"Whatever." Zoro looked away without caring.

"I don't want to bother you, but you've been saying your names out loud without any effort to hide them," Rab said nervously.

"Damn! What do we do, Kara?" Chopper asked worriedly.

"No idea. I don't care," Mini Kara replied casually.

"Maybe we should silence him," Zoro said coldly. Rab began sweating, regretting having spoken.

"Hey, watch out!" Mini Kara shouted, jumping off Chopper's shoulder and crashing into Zoro, barely moving him.

"What the hell is your problem?" Zoro grumbled in annoyance as he picked her up with one hand. Then he noticed something strange. On the wall beside him, there was a small, deep, clean cut.

The attack had been aimed at him, and he had only barely avoided it thanks to Mini Kara's intervention.

"Where did that come from?" Zoro said with a frown.

In front of them, a man was slowly walking towards their position. His elegant white suit, similar to that of CP0 agents, contrasted with his emotionless expression. He wore a top hat, and his hair was perfectly slicked back.

"And who the hell are you?" Zoro asked as he drew his swords. The intensity of his gaze made it clear he recognized the danger this man represented.

"Legios," the man responded with a cold voice. In his hand, he held an abnormally long and thin stiletto.

Without saying more, Legios vanished from sight. In the blink of an eye, he reappeared in front of Zoro, stabbing precisely toward his heart.

"What the hell...?" Zoro barely had time to raise his left sword to defend himself.

TING!

The blade of the stiletto clashed against Zoro's sword, but before he could react, Legios gently tapped the blade of his weapon with a finger.

The stiletto began to vibrate violently, producing a high-pitched hum. Zoro watched in astonishment as his sword was pierced and cut in half as if it were made of paper.

"Bastard...!" Zoro managed to move just in time to avoid having his heart pierced, but even so, the stiletto stabbed into his shoulder.

"Ugh..." Zoro grunted in pain but immediately counterattacked with the sword in his right hand.

Legios snapped his fingers and vanished just as Zoro's sword sliced through the air. Suddenly, the man appeared in front of Chopper, who was holding Rab.

"Chopper!" Zoro shouted as he saw his friend fly toward a wall, destroyed by Legios's brutal kick.

Rab fell to the ground like a rag, barely conscious as his muscles still weren't responding fully.

Legios slowly turned towards him, his stiletto ready to pierce him. Rab tried desperately to move, but his legs wouldn't respond.

"I won't let you!" Mini Kara suddenly appeared, pushing Rab aside to save him.

The stiletto mercilessly pierced Mini Kara's tiny body.

"Ugh..." She let out a faint groan as her body began to disintegrate into particles of light heading somewhere.

"Hang on a bit longer..." she said in a strained voice before disappearing.

"So, you and that monster are Marines, right? What are you doing helping a pirate?" Legios asked indifferently.

"Sorry, but we're on a secret mission," Zoro replied as he took a stance with a single sword.

"I see. Then you'll simply die along with the others," Legios said coldly as he snapped his fingers and launched himself at Zoro again.

Zoro was using all his concentration on his Observation Haki to sense Legios's attack.

Then, he quickly moved his head just as the tip of Legios's stiletto appeared where it had been a moment before.

Ting! The stiletto clashed against the ground as Zoro dodged with his movement. Then, he quickly rolled to the side and saw a cut appear on the ground where his arm had been. If he hadn't moved, he would have lost it.

But Legios snapped his fingers again and appeared in front of Zoro, stabbing directly towards his chest.

Zoro had to roll once more, but this time his forearm was pierced by the attack.

"Tsk, damn it... This guy is way too fast," Zoro said as his blood began to drip onto the ground.

Grrrrrroooar!

A growl echoed through the area, catching both of their attention. Legios turned and saw a gigantic monster behind him, raising its hand swiftly to strike.

Snap!

With a snap of his fingers, Legios appeared right in front of the giant monster's face, which wore Chopper's hat. There was no doubt, it was him, but in a different and far more powerful transformation.

Legios kicked the giant monster in the face, and with another snap of his fingers, he appeared right above where the giant was heading, striking him in the chest with a punch. The giant Chopper fell to the ground, leaving cracks all over the building.

Legios landed standing on his chest, raising his sword to finish him off once and for all.

"I won't let you!" Rab shouted, now able to move a little as he opened several bottles and placed them in front of his mouth. "Breath of Poison!"

A dense cloud of purple smoke rushed toward Legios, who quickly looked in Rab's direction and took the attack head-on.

All of his skin began to turn red, showing that the multiple poisons thrown at him were rapidly taking effect.

Legios paused for a few seconds, slightly moving his body. Then, his skin began to return to normal quickly. He then spat a violet liquid into a corner, which was all the poison Rab had thrown at him.

Again, he prepared to stab Chopper lying on the ground.

"Damn it!" Zoro shouted as he ran toward Legios, but he wouldn't make it in time. Plus, he was losing a lot of blood from those two stabs.

Just as the stiletto was about to reach Chopper's chest, Legios paused for a moment as he looked toward one of the walls of the place.

Crash!

The wall began to split open as it divided into cubes, and a woman appeared right in front of Legios. She threw a punch that he barely managed to block by raising both arms, but even so, he was sent flying against a wall behind him.

"I made it in time, right?" Kara asked seriously as she looked at the others.

"Sigh... More or less," Zoro said, letting out a sigh of relief.
