[Kaka]

Gabriel roared, his fist coming forward in an attempt to deal deadly damage to the Navy Giant's spine. If the attack landed on the same spot as before, Gabriel would have definitely succeeded, and the Giant would have most likely fallen to the ground, paralyzed from the injury to his spine. However, the Vice Admiral reacted quickly, grabbing the cloth of the coat on his shoulder and pulling rapidly. This essentially meant that the Vice Admiral pulled his coat off of his back. Gabriel, who was hanging off of the coat by biting into it with his teeth, was as such dragged along with the coat. His punch still succeeded, and Gabriel's fist smashed into the Giant's back with enough force to send a reverberating shockwave though the Vice Admiral's body. The Vice Admiral coughed up blood, but it was not enough. From there, the Vice Admiral slammed the coat, and with it Gabriel, onto the ground.

The Giant then took into the air, before crashlanding down using Geppou - a Jusshigan leading the way. The Vice Admiral's massive hand collided with the ground, sending fissures far and wide - a battlefield altering attack. A few seconds later, Gabriel managed to roll out from underneath the coat, ending up on his back.

Huff... huff...

Gabriel had managed to avoid the attack by placing himself inbetween the fingers of the Giant's masive hand. As such, no direct contact was made - however the shockwave from the attack threw and trashed Gabriel about. Laying on his back and breathing heavily, Gabriel slowly managed to elevate into a sitting position. Glaring at the Vice Admiral, a shadow hung over Gabriel's face.

One after another, you show up like hyenas...

Tsch... I'm out of energy.

Gabriel said, slamming his right fist down onto his right thigh like a hammer, making his leg stop shaking. He got up, facing the much larger adversary.

I've got one attack left in me, you Navy scoundrel... come and get me.

Gabriel was on his last leg, but the battle between Sephiroth and Fujitora was just starting. Sephiroth broke free of the cascading gravity that held him down, and pushed off of the ground, charging toward Fujitora. However, before he could even close the distance, Fujitora, unknowingly to Sephiroth, peered into the future and timed a counterattack. Swinging his sword, Fujitora unleashed a massive blast of gravity toward Sephiroth, who was charging right into it. Sephiroth's eyes widened in surprise, but he reacted quickly. As the blast of gravity approached like a tsunami, Sephiroth came to a skidding stop and stabbing the blade of his sword into the ground. When the tip of the blade collided with the ground, a large blast of fire erupted around Sephiroth, just in time when the blast of gravity engulfed him.

Ignition Mine...!

The blast of gravity pushed Sephiroth a fair distance backward, but his last second mitigation, coupled with the monstrous durability that his Lunarian heritage granted him, rendered the blast of gravity mostly ineffective. What followed was a barrage of large debris from Fujitora, however Sephiroth had no intention of letting Fujitora's attack succeed. Another massive dragon of fire erupted forth from the fire on Sephiroth's back. The maw of the dragon of fire was imbued with black Busou-shoku no Haki, clad and tempered to extreme hardness. As the barrage of debris descended, the dragon swirled around Sephiroth twice, blocking the debris, before changing direction and heading toward Fujitora once again. The maw of the dragon of fire, imbued with black Busou-shoku no Haki, would descend upon Fujitora, aiming to crush and burn him down.

But, Sephiroth would not leave things at a long distance exchange. This time, with Fujitora hopefully distracted by the attack, Sephiroth would once again attempt to close the distance. He would appear right behind Fujitora after he has dealt with the dragon of fire one way or another. Once behind him, Sephiroth would swing his sword downward, imbued with black Busou-shoku no Haki, aiming to cut Fujitora down.

Lacroix VS Gabriel: The Last Stand
Lacroix dove to the earth with ill intent to send Gabriel back to his home grave. But like a prey, the Lunarian did what seemed to be his last attempt to escape the Giant. With a fine roll to the sides, he managed to get out of the concealment as the marine crashed down with his fortified knuckles, dodging the shot in just a nick of time.

[KRAAAASH]

The Vice-Admiral's fingers slammed the ground with such force that it ploughed the mantle up. Gabriel might have evaded the kill but the sheer force of the eruption dealt some damage to him as he was blasted a few meters away. The nemesis got up and so was Lacroix. He put his legs parallel to each other before bending them, digging into the ground he was standing on. He glared back at the wild dog, but the marine was the wolf at this point. He was barely holding on as compared to the nigh complete Navy and pilot of the Giant squad. And here it came, he pushed his feet against the soil and dashed forth to Gabriel's location only to stop mid-way. From that halt, he impaled the earth using his sword and a trail of air-compressed slash strode Gabriel. "Rankyaku Earth, Wind, Shatter!!!"

Simultaneously, he also kicked the air using both his feet to send a flurry of slashes to both sides, leaving no room to escape this time. "Rankyaku "Renge"!!!"

And almost simultaneously, he pulled his sword inwards to propel himself towards Gabriel like a shot put before he made a right fist. This same fist would be cast forward the Lunarian with such force, the wind whistled in a low tone as Haki magnified its momentum. He roared for the third attack, "Isshigan!!!"

Fujitora vs Sephiroth
The Special Admiral unloosed a rage of gravity that held Sephiroth in his path, subsequently pushing back the foe despite the defensive manoeuvre he did. That same foe exhibited shock when the Marine invoked a barrage of large debris upon Sephiroth. But he was able to stop it using the flaming dragon he summoned from his back. Overcoming the Raving Fire Festival, the dragon would attempt to continue towards Fujitora, trailed by Sephiroth himself for a kindred sword attack. A futile attempt. For when the Lunarian was in the process of dealing with his two prior attacks, Fujitora was already fashioning all the other debris that get past Sephiroth, hurling them into something else from behind. What it would do to him is a mystery for now. The man spoke.

"You're a talented young man, but talent alone is not enough! These seas are ruled by tides and monsters! You need to be like them to win!"

You need to be like...

"BLADE GRAVITY! FURIOUS TIGER!!!"

Fujitora swung his blade with Haki spiralling around the area as it unleashed a gravitational flying slash. It would not cut but it would rupture everything in front of it. A devastating phenomenon from the calm image of this Admiral. Once he unloosed the first slash, he would rapidly follow it through using the same technique. Two equally devastating slashes that Sephiroth's combination attacks have to endure. The first swing would mutilate the fire dragon. As the dragon and tiger cancelled each other out, more debris erupted from the mantle which the second swing would bring past the Lunarian to join the rest of the former debris. And as Sephiroth would deal against the second angry tiger, Fujitora gestured his blade against his chest to activate the debris behind Sephiroth's prior location. Once all in place, it would be cast forward Sephiroth's back who would have been dealing against the second Furious Tiger fangs.

"RAVING FIRE FESTIVAL!!!"

And finally, to avoid escape this time, the blind justice would pin his sword into the ground allowing a gravitational field to descend upon Sephiroth to stop his movements. An attack called. "Jigoku Tabi!"

 

[Kaka]

On the brink of defeat, after having fought two Vice Admirals, as well as put up with the disadvantage of the lightning clusters, Gabriel had no choice but to go down fighting. The Giant of a Vice Admiral did not give Gabriel time to rest, and immediately went onto the offensive, pushing off of the ground and charging toward him. After closing half of the distance, the Giant came to an abrupt stop and swung the tip of his blade onto the ground. A powerful flying slash erupted from the point of contact, travelling across the ground toward Gabriel with great power and speed, leaving a fissure in its wake. Gabriel grit his teeth, his arms at this point no longer usable until treated. He pushed off of the ground, blitzing his way toward the attack - there was no avoiding it, for the Vice Admiral cut Gabriel's escape routes off with a flurry of Rankyakus. Gabriel would take the middle attack head on.

Just as he was about to reach the incoming attack and collide with it, Gabriel jumped toward it and spun around 360 degrees in midair, imbuing his right leg with black Busou-shoku no Haki. He swung his foot outward, unleashing a powerful kick toward the towering flying slash. Gabriel's kick collided with the flying slash, the collision so strong that a veil of dust and smoke erupted from the point of contact.

Spoiler

DPR: 81-100: 3. Large Building Level + A:+3 + COA: +2 = 8. Island Level

By the time the dust cloud and obscurity erupted onto the scene, the Vice Admiral was already upon Gabriel's last seen location. With all of his might and Haki, the Vice Admiral hurled his gigantic fist forward. The sheer power of the attack was so great that it unleashed a shockwave, engulfing the entire dust cloud and blowing it all away. A dominant attack by the Giant.

Gabriel was nowhere to be seen. Was he blasted to shreds by the much larger opponent? Has the dreaded Lunarian finally been wiped out of existence, the Navy claiming victory? That was the likely outcome. But, suddenly, a voice boomed from the shadows.

We... WILL NEVER FALL!!!

IGNITION... KICK!!!

Suddenly, from the depths of the fissure that the Vice Admiral's own attack had created, right underneath the airspace of the Vice Admiral's chin, Gabriel erupted forward, his wings flapping. Flying upward like a rocket, Gabriel's right leg leading the way, the proud Lunarian unleashed an upward flying kick, straight for the Giant Vice Admiral's chin - like an ascending rocket aiming to plough through the Vice Admiral's guard. Gabrel's black Busou-shoku no Haki roared, and the wounded Lunarian, his arms no longer usable, bet it all on this hard to see counterattack.

Elsewhere, Sephiroth continued his battle with Fujitora - in the back of his mind thinking about, and hoping for, Gabriel's safety. But, all Sephiroth could do was trust in Gabriel. There was no way that Fujitora would let Sephiroth pass by this line. His grand dragon of fire coiled around him and roared, blasting away the debris that Fujitora had hurled toward him. The dragon of fire then flew overhead, descending upon Fujitora from above. At the same time, Sephiroth rushed forward, aiming to close the distance. However, Fujitora's counterattacks continued to make it in time. Swinging his katana twice in rapid motion, Fujitora unleashed two powerful, large gravitational slashes. One flew upward, colliding with the dragon's maw. The other flew toward Sephiroth, aiming to intercept him. The gravitational slash and the dragon of fire gnawed at one another, pushing for supremacy, but ultimately both attacks erupted, disrupted by the other and resulting in an equal clash of force. The other gravitational slash flew toward Sephiroth, who swung his sword, imbued with black Busou-shoku no Haki, clashing head on.

For a moment, Sephiroth pushed, but in a matter of moments, his feet slid backward, and Sephiroth was blasted away. The power of the gravitational slash even managed to break through Sephiroth's guard, though Sephiroth managed to guard by putting up his free arm to intercept the attack. Sephiroth's incredibly strong black Busou-shoku no Haki, as well as his unfathomable natural armor, part of his Lunarian heritage, allowed Sephiroth to make it out with but a surface wound on his left forearm. Nonetheless, blood was drawn.

By the time Sephiroth slid to a stop by digging his feet into the ground, he saw shadow over him. All of the debris that the clashes and Fujitora's attacks created, converged on Sephiroth, coming down on him rapidly. Sephiroth grit his teeth and clenched his right hand, tightening the grip on the hilt of his sword. With a look of anger toward Fujitora, Sephiroth swung his sword, fire trailing from the tip of the blade. The swing of his sword summoned a massive tornado of fire, engulfing Sephiroth and serving as a barrier against the incoming debris. The debris bombarded the fire tornado with great persistence, but the barrier of fire held up in equal force, the two attacks eventually subsiding.

Ignition Vortex...!

With molten debris now falling down all around Sephiroth, the Lunarian glared at Fujitora, his voice booming.

Are you done throwing rocks at me, Navy man?

Sephiroth said, before retorting to Fujitora's comment.

It's a good thing you came after me...

As you say, this world is ruled by monsters. Powerful men, like you. If I can bring you down... I will be one step closer to freedom.

Lacroix VS Gabriel: The Last Stand
Lacroix's Rankyaku Earth, Wind, and Shatter slithered across the distance between his enemy. The latter, on the brink of exhaustion, managed to dash forth the incoming tempest blade and flipped to the front, avoiding it. Subsequently, the incoming barrage of air slashes was contested by Gabriel's Lunarian kick evenly. Their surrounding was covered with dust and the foe capitalised on this to conceal himself. But the Vice-Admiral didn't stop. He dealt his third attack in hopes of claiming victory using Isshigan. As he did so, the Lunarian interspersed the airspace between the attack and his chin, shooting up his leg and ramming onto his chin.

Lacroix's attack hit nothing but air and it continued to rampage to the rock formations behind Gabriel's prior location, decimating them. But in an instant, the Marine's eyes turned to pure white as he lost consciousness briefly. His knees shook in the process and almost fell. Suddenly, voices were heard inside his head ─ his comrades, all crying out loud to continue the fight. And before his back actually landed on the ground, he held onto it. And quickly, his legs tightened. And from that awkward position where his body was parallel to the surface, he used his remaining strength to heave his massive body up while dragging his right fist. With Haki, he was able to magnify the sturdiness of his arm before swinging it against the sky, ending towards Gabriel's location. A comeback attack against a counter-attack! Who would claim the win?

Fujitora vs Sephiroth
Special Admiral Fujitora's combination of two Furious Tigers managed to hit Sephiroth quite effectively. But shortly afterwards, a storm of rocks came ramming in while the Marine restrained his movements briefly to secure the trap. The Blind Justice saw all of Sephiroth's sequence of techniques on how he was able to deal with all of them using the vortex of flames. And yet, he allowed the Lunarian to do so. A test of power. Nonetheless, the Admiral did not want the future he saw to be rubbish and so, at the same time Sephiroth was spinning his body, he used his devil fruit ability to pull a chunk of rock underneath Sephiroth, taking him high in the sky while still rotating. Had he stopped his vortex, all the prior storm of rocks would have descended upon him at once.

In rapid sequence, all the rock surfaces below would dismantle from Raijin including the formations left over and like a sound, they all flew towards Sephiroth's location and formed eight massive walls as if a cube of rocks was about to form. Sephiroth was dealing with the previous barrage of rocks but soon he would learn what was upcoming. And here it was, a spring of water erupted from the ground bigger than the vortex of fire he conjured around him. Almost endless, the water kept on raging skywards, aiming to engulf the Lunarian. The amount of liquid was like a river, it was enough to sustain the heat of his ignition and contain the body of the proud criminal.

"Water Prison Gravity!"

Inside the prison, he would not only deal with shortness of breath, but the weight inside this cell was dozens of times heavier than the normal gravity of the Earth. Apart from that, the walls that stood by would creep towards him. The water cell was now being compressed into a cube. And so were the rocks. Issho roared before even Sephiroth would have spoken.

"Hightower Prison Gravity!"

Spoiler

By controlling gravitational forces, Sephiroth creates a dense gravitational prison to trap his opponent. The prison is hard to break out of, and extended time trapped inside can lead to injuries, such as broken bones and damaged internal organs, due to exposure to severe gravity. Rank: S

[Kaka]

Gabriel rocketed upward through the air like a piercing rocket, seeking the Giant Vice Admiral's chin. And he succeeded. Gabriel's kick connected, generating enough power and Haki to cause the Vice Admiral to arch backward, his eyes turning white. A victory was in sight. A moment's relief. Gabriel managed to bring a second Vice Admiral down, holding the frontline all by himself. He would be known as a monstrous Lunarian that all Navy soldiers should avoid.

But...

It was a little too weak. The kick did not managed to knock the Vice Admiral out completely. Suddenly, his eyes came back with willpower, and the Vice Admiral struck a counterblow. Blood erupted from Gabriel's mouth as the Vice Admiral's attack connected, and he was sent hurling through the air, crashlanding onto the ground violently. By the time the dust cloud cleared, Gabriel was seen laying in a crater. Both of his arms were dead, broken in the fight. Blood was trailing from the corners of his mouth. One eye was closed, the other barely open. Gabriel tried to struggle back into a sitting position, but to no avail.

More blood was coughed up from his mouth, and his vision was starting to blur.

Hngh... *cough*

D-damn it...

I... need to... see that dream...

Gabriel said, looking up at the sky, though even that was a blur. Gabriel was facing peril.



Unaware of Gabriel's dire situation, Sephiroth was fighting his own enemy - one even much stronger, Special Admiral Fujitora. The massive chunks of debris all converged on Sephiroth, controlled and tempered by Fujitora's powerful gravity. Sephiroth swung his sword, fire trailing the tip of the blade. As Sephirth did so, a rock formation from underneath him was suddenly shot up into the sky, along with him. However, Sephiroth did not cease, still continuing his swing and summoning a massive tornado of fire and Haki. The large chunks of rock bombarded that tornado of fire, but the powerful barrier of Ignition flames stood strong.

That is, until Fujtora broke free a massive underground body of water. Using gravity, Fujitora surrounded Sephiroth with a lake in the sky, dooming Sephiroth to a prison of water. The tornado of fire was snuffed out, and Fujitora was asserting his dominance.

Tsch... damn Navy...!

Sephiroth grunted. The gravity suddenly started to collapse and implode the prison of water, making it stronger, more compact, and the pressure far greater. Fujitora aimed to drown and crush Sephiroth. Inside the prison of water, Sephiroth had closed his eyes. He was running low on oxygen. The pressure was building up. The waters were becoming darker and darker, as if Sephiroth was drifting into the depths of the endless and incredibly heavy sea. Was Sephiroth meeting his end in conjunction with Gabriel's own? Suddenly, things looked like they were unraveling, and the story of the trio of Lunarians was coming to an end, under the mighty fist of the Navy.

No.

NO!

It was not the end. Suddenly, Sephiroth sheathed his blade. His left hand was holding the sheathe on his left hip, stabilizing it. His right hand was holding the hilt of the sword, pressing it toward the sheathe, holding the sword forcefully into its sheathe. Fire was building inside the scabbard, and black Busou-shoku no Haki clad the scabbard, as well as the sword, and Sephiroth's hands, up to the elbows. 10 seconds of oxygen left. The force inside the scabbard continued to build. 5 seconds of oxygen left. The fire continued to build, as did the Haki. 2 seconds of oxygens left, and Sephiroth's eyes erupted wide open.

Ignition Split...!!!

Sephiroth unsheathed the sword in the form of an incredible Iaido attack of cutting force, fire and Haki, and the prison of water was instantly spit apart and destroying - the power to cut a mountain.

Up in the sky, as the water cascaded down onto the island, three massive dragons of fire erupted from the flame on Sephiroth's back. Their maws imbued with black Busou-shoku no Haki, the three dragons descended. They split, flying independently, setting everything in their sights ablaze. The flames set the battlefield into an inferno, closing in on Fujitora. The three dragons would continue to attack Fujitora from different directions, aiming to bombard him with attacks one after another. If he ran, they would chase. If he blocked, they would persist, and continue to swarm.

Lacroix VS Gabriel: The Last Stand
The battle of grit and justice continued, Gabriel landed a devastating kick onto the chin of the marine but the latter managed to pull himself back into sanity. Back in the game, Lacroix pulled a roaring uppercut against the enemy of the world, ramming his entire body with all his might. Gabriel coughed up blood as he hurled into the air. The Vice-Admiral gathered himself as he made a fist against his chest, panting heavily. He heaved his head as he looked at the Lunarian at the centre of the crater he made. "I am not just for show, kid. You should have surrendered the moment you held yourself against the government. And now justice has to be served!"

Lacroix stepped backwards and gathered his blade from the ground. He strode towards the crater, though staggering. When he finally was a metre far from the Lunarian, he heaved his blade from his right before swinging it upwards. And from that position, he was prepared to give it all. Haki clad his blade and his two arms hardened. Veins were even visible at this point as his forearm muscles became sturdier than ever. His eyes were set ablaze. "Blade of Justice!", he roared. And the katana was brought down with tremendous strength.

From the distance, four figures were catapulting with such speed as lightning. Altogether, the four of them blitzed the location of the Lunarian. Deidara, used all his gas in one go to unloose a concentrated beam of green explosives. Charged with his 100-radical beam from both arms, Orianna used her rocket booster to propel her midair, floating as she claimed the front. Emptying the shells of her radical beams, she would draw the greatest weapon capable of countering the other. She collected all the stored energy from her inventory and fashioned her arms forward to create a star-like weapon that would facilitate an energy beam to finally bring the enemy down. Thirdly, Kabuto used his great scalpel and pointed it forward as he trailed the other three. The moment he took the right plank, he channelled a series of orb-like projectiles. Just like the two, he also used concentrated energy, sourced from the weather and technology of Raijin. The three beams whistled as they coursed through the distance, hitting Lacroix's weapon, body, and face all at the same time. They violently roared. The siblings did so.

"IRON RESCUE!!!"

Orochimaru, the fastest of them all managed to wrap Gabriel with his platoon of snakes, securing the safety of the proud Lunarian who fought hard until the end. "I salvaged the boy.", his malicious raspy voice said.

Lacroix fell onto the ground as smoke gassed out from his charred body. He was alive. But, no longer he could fight. Suddenly, a fleet of unknown vessels is traversing the waters of Raijin from the East. They were concealed in darkness for now but in time, they would reveal themselves.

"Hurry! Treat his wounds immediately!", Orianna articulated to her viper brother.

Fujitora vs Sephiroth
With the battle at the near port finally concluded, the latter pages of the book would be realised hereon. Fujitora tried to cage Sephiroth inside the water prison with external walling made of earth. For 10 seconds, Fujitora watched closely how the wall formations he tossed the Lunarian compressed further and beyond. He watched through the presence of what he felt. And with tremendous power and Haki, the earth and water prison combined were easily broken into with a single slash. And the water he brought to the sky would quickly disperse off the enemy.

Fujitora was no fool, he hurled this water back as swiftly as he could and from a distance, he gestured his blade in a counter-clockwise fashion, as the same water took the form of three raging dragons dancing in the sky, each of the three was larger than the flame hydras combined. The six reptiles of two different elements gnawed each other in the sky before decimating into the heavens. The clash of two techniques would result in a monumental vapour, covering the entire battlefield.

Sephiroth was still up in the sky and with his lone wing, it would be hard for him to dance around and dodge anything that would come his way. The Admiral held his katana even more tightly, infusing his weapon with oblivion and the rage of the heavenly tiger. The ground started to erupt and space around seemed to bend on its own. And from his lower right, he bent a little before swinging the sword skywards where the enemy was. He boomed as a gravitational field forced its way out of his person and burst forth the criminal he chased.

[Kaka]

Gabriel stared up at the sky as the Giant Vice Admiral readied himself for the finishing blow. Considering the dire situation, it was strange that Gabriel was not paying the Vice Admiral any mind - instead opting to look up at the heavens. Perhaps Gabriel knew there was nothing more that he could do. Beating one Vice Admiral was a possibility. Beating a Vice Admiral while being at a severe disadvantage due to lack of a lightning protective coat, was that much tougher. And yet, Gabriel had succeeded at that too. But the appearance of yet another Vice Admiral, was bad luck. And now, Gabriel was at death's door. Slowly, he lost consciousness - the last thing that he saw was white. A white light everywhere. And with that, Gabriel was unconscious.

BANG.

Little did Gabriel know, the light that he saw prior to passing out was not a sign of his ascent to the afterlife. Nay. Instead, it was the light of help. Allies arrived. A massive tribeam collided with the Giant Vice Admiral, engulfing his weapon and his whole body. By the time the large attack faded away, the Vice Admiral was seen on the ground, defeated - his body charred from the powerful attack, but alive.

Gabriel... was safe.



Elsewhere, with Gabriel's fight now finished, Sephiroth's battle with Admiral Fujitora took center stage. Trapped inside a massive prison of water and rock, Sephiroth swung his sword, unleashing a mountain splitting attack. The prison was destroyed, and along with Sephiroth's release, came three massive dragons of fire. Sephiroth sent the dragons after Fujitora, but the Admiral used gravity to fashion the water into water dragons, meeting the fire dragons head on. A collision of legendary beasts. A collision of the elements. The two attacks cancelled each other out, but both Fujitora and Sephiroth were already preparing for the aftermath.

Fujitora bent his knees and held his sword in a reverse grip, close to his right hip. A massive amount of gravity was swirling around Fujitora's sword, ready to be launched. At the same time, Sephiroth held his sword above his head with both hands, the tip of the blade pointing up at the sky. A massive swirl of Ignition flames and Haki spawned from the blade, reaching up toward the skies. As Fujitora swung his sword, so did Sephiroth, and the blast of gravity and the spinning wall of flames were hurled forth, colliding with one another. Fissures started to spread across the ground and large chunks of earth were cubified under the force of this massive clash.

With Gabriel's mission finally concluded and the rest of the allies rallied to his aid, all that's left is for Sephiroth to win the battle against an Admiral. It would not be easy.

"GRAVITY BLADE! HEAVENLY TIGER!"

Fujitora cast a large-scale attack towards Sephiroth who was still mid-air. The gravitational force it dragged to the sky was more robust than the previous one. The Lunarian was a demon of his own kind. He timed the admiral's attack with his mighty heritage. A downward swing of his sword charged with Lunarian fire brought hell from the sky. When the two attacks met, the atmosphere in which Sephiroth has created an influx of force field and heat wave that even Fujitora was affected by its thermal heat, making him shield his head as the explosion occurred.

He would not attack this time. Something was off with the admiral. It would not be visible to the Lunarian bravado as the bandage was covered by his white coat. The same bandage was suddenly covered with blood, signifying a wound he took from his prior venture before going here. He winced.

"Vice-Admiral Link, you traitor.", he cursed under his breath, hardly inaudible. "Teaming up with Morrow and the Worst Generation. They even took Tsu─"

His monologue was stopped when he felt the presence of his tagged Vice-Admiral Lacroix suddenly weakened, symbolising defeat. But he breathed still. Orianna and the company had no time to stay there. They all headed towards the engaging battle.

The Special Admiral would watch as the Lunarian plummeted back to the earth. But he was adamant to make it faster and more hostile. Pressing the wound he suffered, he was back to the game. Peeking at the foe, he gripped his sword in his right hand and pointed it upwards. Gravitational force gathered around it along with Haki. The katana darkened and so was the sky. But for some reason, the moment he arrived here, the lightning stopped. But the works of the heavenly masses wouldn't.

From his sword, he swung the blade downwards and the weight of gravity multiplied to 100 and immediately 300 meters around Sephiroth. There would be a hard route to escape given his position. And from that motion, the force field descended Sephiroth's way timing his own descent back to the earth. Even if he tried to escape, the wrath of god would follow.

[Kaka]

The battle between Fujitora and Sephiroth raged on, blasts of gravitational forces and raging fire ravaging the battlefield. When their attacks clashed, Fujitora did not follow up with another attack immediately - a stark contrast to his strategy and behavior thus far. Fujitora had been like an aggressive tiger, barraging Sephiroth with one attack after another. But now, he stopped momentarily. Was it a sign of tiredness? Injury? Change of heart and momentary respite? Whatever it was, Sephiroth started to descend down toward the ground, freefalling. But, Fujitora's moment of fallback was not long lasting. He pointed the blade of his katana up toward the sky. Sephiroth felt it immediately. He did not know what he was feeling, but he was feeling something. An unease. A great force was coming. And before he could think too much about it, Sephiroth felt a massive tidalwave of gravity coming down on him in the form of a large blast.

Hngh...-!

Sephiroth's freefall rapidly turned into a high speed plummet and the blast of gravity aimed to slam him into the ground with enough force to create a massive crater. Black Busou-shoku no Haki started to spread outward from the center of Sephiroth's abdomen. In a matter of moments, his whole abdomen was covered. Then it spread to the shoulders, the arms, the neck and the head. And downward, it spread to his thighs, knees, lower legs and feet. In a matter of moments, Sephiroth donned an armor of black Busou-shoku no Haki over his entire body, bracing himself and fortifying the fortress that was his Lunarian body. In the last moments before he'd hit the ground, wisps of flames could be seen rolling off of his body, and Sephiroth grit his teeth and clenched his fists.

BANG.

The purple gravitational energy reached the ground like a beam from the sky and came crashing into it, with Sephiroth under it, facing the crushing force. Powerful winds pushed outward from the center of the crash, raising a lot of dust and obscurity from the ground. However, in the middle of all of that obscurity, traces of a struggle could be seen. The beam of purple gravitational force continued to push into the ground, aiming to crush all underneath. However, inbetween the purple beam of gravity and the ground, was a sphere of fire, continuously pushing outward with great might. The bottom part of the sphere of fire was pushing downward against the ground, essentially bracing Sephiroth's crashlanding. The top part of the sphere of fire was pushing upward against the purple beam of gravity, pushing against its downward crushing force. In the middle of the sphere of fire was Sephiroth, his knees bent, his body resisting the downward crushing force as well.

The gravitational forces and the fire pushed against one another, causing fissures and cracks to form in the area on the ground. However before long, both attacks subsided. Sephiroth would make a push for it here and now. Fujitora seemed to like fighting at a distance. Perhaps he did not feel comfortable in a direct up close and personal confrontation, or perhaps he was at a real disadvantage there. Sephiroth was young. He was in his prime. His body could take it. He was a risk taker. He had a dream to achieve, still. Sephiroth would put it all on the line in this fight, on this island. And from here, his real story would begin.

Pushing off of the ground, Sephiroth charged toward Fujitora, cutting through the distance with great rapidity. Fire surrounded Sephiroth, the start of his Ignition Charge technique. Whatever Fujitora threw at him, Sephiroth would charge straight through it, until he caught up to Fujitora.

[Gambit]

The onslaught of the Admiral persisted. An abominable force of gravity ruptured the atmosphere surrounding Sephiroth. In a blink of an eye, the Lunarian would be sent back to the earth, fighting for his life. But as the admiral rose up, his foe would summon one of the largest spheres of fire he ever saw summoned by someone who wasn't an ability user.

He glared into the near future and saw clearly how the Lunarian would triumph against the gravitational field and charge back at him. With that, Fujitora pulled a chunk of rock underneath him and started to lift himself up while Sephiroth started his descent and counter-attack.

The ground beneath them shattered into nothingness while the space between the gravitational field and the fire attack distorted before the explosion took place. The eruption of two powers resulted in a loud resonance that spread quickly across the island. Orianna and the others heard of this and panicked, elevating their movement to catch up with Sephiroth. Likewise, back in the mansion, Camilla and the rest also heard of this, worried about Gabriel and Sephiroth more than her siblings. At the port, the marines cuddled the railings and riggings of the ship in an attempt to escape an inevitable death because of the tidal waves. And the fleet of mysterious groups nearing the shore also felt this madness. "No shit.", said one of them.

Meanwhile, another mysterious figure is heading west of the island, meeting all the giant cyborgs, bowing to him. Kasa also met him, smirking as they shared a nod. He's the one behind the rumblings of the sky. And obviously, the one who stopped the lightning all of a sudden. "It has been years, Saviour." The Siblings' saviour has arrived. "Old friend Kasa, it is a pleasure meeting you once more. I heard you made a good business of all my creations."

"Not as much as business as your adopted children did."

"How are they?"

"See it yourself."

Rumbling of the earth reached the western coast, and Governor Kasa and the Saviour looked at each other. They knew danger is here. "Go ahead, my old comrade. See them."

Back to the battle, having seen the delicate fate, Fujitora stood at the chunk of rock he make afloat, surrounding himself with flying rocks.

And without further ado, before Sephiroth could even conclude his struggle against his prior attack, he slashes his sword twice in the air, and in a glimpse, he invoked multiple purple waves and shot to the sky only to plummet back to the earth, particularly the battlefield where all the destined took place. As it descended, it vesseled an unstoppable pull of gravity! The tectonic plates whirred in sync as they rammed the softened terrain of Raijin Island, sinking the entirety of the lake down to the abyss, and dragging everything into oblivion.

"DEEP IMPACT!"

Spoiler

That's just what's beneath, with his awakened power, the admiral could still fashion another phenomenon in conjunction with the tectonic apparition. At once, he used the same technique but this time, celestial bodies would come ramming the earth with all its might. "ARMAGEDDON!!!", the tiger roared as multiple meteorites plummeted to the atmosphere with speed untrue to the eyes.

Spoiler

Moon Level

A dozen would hit the Eastern shore. Another dozen to the immediate area of the mansion where Cyla was in. A couple of dozen to the centre of the battle. And another dozen to the location of Gabriel and the siblings. This was the wrath of an admiral. Wrath with a fateful clawback. Blood started to rush from his internals caused by excessive usage of Haki and Awakening. But there's no way his enemy would notice this.

 

[Kaka]

Sephiroth, clad in a vicious and large aura of fire, charged toward Fujitora, who took high up into the air, releasing the hold of gravity on himself and essentially shooting himself up into the sky. With him, a town's worth of debris, floating about him and filling up the sky with a fortress of rubble. A battle of cataclysmic scale, one capable of terraforming an entire island. While up in the sky, Fujitora swung his sword a couple of times, unleashing waves of purple gravitational energy. The waves came down upon the land, and with them, a tsunami of gravity, threatening to push down onto the land with enough force to sink entire lakes and mountains. Sephiroth, seeing the descent of the attack, stopped in his tracks, looking upward, the purple energy reflecting in his eyes. He immediately lowered his stance. His feet widened apart, his knees bent, and his sword went into its scabbard. Holding the scabbard with one hand while holding the hilt of the sheathed sword with the other, Sephiroth grit his teeth and tightened his grip. A fire raged in his eyes, and on his back. Suddenly, a mighty swirl of fire formed in the air above Sephiroth, while the gravitational apocalypse descended down. From the swirl of fire, a massive beam of fire and Haki was unleashed upward into the sky.

Spoiler

The gravitational apocalypse hit the island with enormous force, causing it to shake. A lake was sunk. The battlefield was cracking, and being destroyed under the heavy gravity. However, Sephiroth's location stood strong, the powerful flames keeping the gravitational push in check. When the enormous clash subsided, small flickers of light started to come into sight up in the sky. A truly terrifying display of Fujitora's might, a meteor showed was called upon the Raijin Island. However, Sephiroth, too, was already executing his next attack. A massive ring of fire was summoned, swirling around Sephiroth's location with such speed that it created a buzzing sound. The ring of fire was hundreds of meters in diameter, truly large.

As the meteors descended, dozens upon dozens of massive dragons of fire suddenly erupted from the ring of fire, flying upward to meet the meteor shower head on.

Spoiler

The ferocious army of dragons met the meteors one by one, creating a scene of a truly enormous inferno of hell and battle up in the sky. The exchange lasted for a number of seconds as the barrage from the heavens continued to plummet onto the army of dragons that protected the lands. However, before long, a meteor got through. It descended toward the area where Sephiroth was, and before Sephiroth could react or do anything about it, the meteor collided with the lands, engulfing the area in a massive explosion of light, fire and molten debris. The barrage of meteors ceased, as did the army of dragons, which slowly disappeared. The obscurity from the massive exchange started to clear, and Sephiroth was seen laying face down inside a massive crater. Silence took the battlefield for a few moments. But before long, Sephiroth showed signs of life. Using his hands, Sephiroth slowly pushed himself up, before elevating into a kneeling position, one knee on the ground. Breathing heavily and coughing up some blood, Sephiroth cursed under his breath, reaching for the sword that laid next to him, and grabbing it.

Hngh... *cough*

Glaring up into the sky, Sephiroth recalled his dream. He would not let it fade from before his eyes.

 

[Gambit]

The battle of Celestial Reqiuem and Imperial Sonata was ensembled. Fujitora invoked a devastating splendour that dared to plunge all of existence into the hollow. Sephiroth conjured an enormous blazing shaft, immediately vying with the gravitational force that would have sunken the area. And momentarily, the proud tribal thwarted the probable kill upon himself.

Plummeting thereafter were the flashes of foreign lights, conquering the entire island. It was a light show. To contest, a tremendous coil of fire surrounded the Lunarian and burst skywards a platoon of demonic dragons almost eradicating the hall of meteorites in a single attempt. But a fragment of it thrived into the earth, terrifyingly blasting the present arena where Sephiroth was in.

[FWOOSH!]

Sparkles of light off the molten debris cascaded into the darkness, lighting up the hollowed terrain of Raijin Island. Beyond the obscurity, the warrior would emerge, barrened in nature. Perhaps, a colossal punishment was too much for him to bare if anything at all. Fujitora poked his katana into the chunk of earth still afloat, the larger ones still revolving around his stand. He heaved. Panting he was. Blood prevailed off the wound his comrade caused just a few days ago. And yet, he vigoured. In a booming approach, he growled, loud enough for Sephiroth to hear.

"It should have been easier to just surrender Sephiroth! But you chose to obstruct my blind justice! I was prepared to send you to Impel Down and still live. But perhaps, Lunarians may just be the pestilence and perils of the world. You will all perish!"

-----------------------
​

In the mansion, Camilla has just completed the treatment of Cyla and the other scientist to Viktoria. Regina was screaming again like she always did as she reaped the air going to the laboratory. "Miss Camilla!"

"Danger. Danger. Danger.", the mechas sang all together.

"What's happening?!", she asked, fazed. But the look on Regina's face was more than enough to sketch the act. And after that, a colossal beam of light flashed outside the mansion. Large enough to conceal the view outside the endless windows of it. A large explosion resonated in the vicinity. Loud enough that it managed to sneak into the manor. Another one hit the immediate 2-kilometre mark of the said place, cascading specks of dust throughout the field. Another one would devastate the coastal area, bringing down the watchtower. It was at this moment that the Mechas decided to circle the mansion, each of them using the rest of their reserve energies to take down the collapse of the chaos. Altogether, they fired a beam of blue energy directed at the 8 remaining meteorites, but their powers were not enough to pulverise it. Remnants of the punishments would continue their descent. However, having lost most of its power, it would have not been more catastrophic. Only, 8 Mechas would be named heroes that day. Darkness covered the eyes of the proud Mechas. The mansion survived but halved.

On the west coast, Governor Kasa and the mysterious figure along with the giant machines would also deal one by one with the falling meteorites. Kasa immediately ordered the machines to fire their strongest guns and they did so but like the Mechas, these attacks were not strong enough to neutralise the demon. Here came the mysterious one, channelling his willpower into a steel rod before twirling it super fast. Within seconds, he was able to activate the super-cell storm. He continued to twirl his rod to form an even larger and more concentrated stream of lightning, and then swings it upwards at the falling debris. Each of the twelve lesser meteorites would ram against a compressed charge of electricity rapidly turning them into charcoals. "Pangil ng Kidlat! (meaning: fangs of lightning)"

-----------------------​

Meanwhile, Orianna and her siblings needed to deal with the same kind of chaos. But as compared to the Mechas and the giant robots, they were strong enough to cascade blows to pulverise them all at once. But those would be their last reserve, having used most of their energy tanks to fall Lacroix.

-----------------------​

At the sea, the marines would luckily escape the falling rocks. After all, Fujitora knew exactly where their location was. But this would not be the case for the incoming Fleet as they needed to do something in response to it. What happened to this fleet would be anyone's guess.

-----------------------​

Back to the fight, Fujitora spoke and he waited for Sephiroth's response.

 

[Kaka]

Meteors rained down upon the lands of Raijin Island, as well as its surrounding waters. An apocalyptic scene, the Admiral was truly showing why he was considered one of the Navy's strongest. Blasts from the crashlanding meteors could be heard one after another, a true bombardment. Sephiroth grit his teeth, realizing that he could only hope. Only hope that Cyla, Gabriel, as well as everyone else, were alright. After all, he could not protect the whole island at once.

Fujitora growled, his booming voice reched from the skies, down to the island.

"It should have been easier to just surrender Sephiroth! But you chose to obstruct my blind justice! I was prepared to send you to Impel Down and still live. But perhaps, Lunarians may just be the pestilence and perils of the world. You will all perish!"

​

I will carve out a path of my race...

With my own hands, Fujitora. And if you get in the way, it will be at the cost of your life.

Sephiroth said, at this point things too far to be pulled back. A fight to the death it seemed. Fire erupted from underneath Sephiroth's feet and he pushed off of the ground, propelling himself high up into the air. An aura of fire erupted around Sephiroth as he flew upward, and from the aura of fire serving as the epicenter, an army of fire tendrils spawned.

Dozens upon dozens of fire tendrils coiled around Sephiroth's vicinity, but three tendrils lashed out, all of them ripping through the air upward toward Fujitora. The tendrils aimed to collide on Fujitora's location. Upon doing so, the tips of the tendrils would erupt, unleashing a massive blast of fire and Haki.

[Gambit]

Sephiroth responded to Fujitora. And at the height of the ferocious battle, his will had been announced. And his life is at cost should he persist to stop him. A bold testament.

"You're brave enough to foolishly threaten me. You're miles away from defeating an Admiral! At this point, I have only been holding back."

When he said this, the Lunarian used fire to propel himself up in the air. Afterwards, he was surrounded by aura before an army of fire tendrils emerged all over the place. As they all scattered, three of them were intentionally ripping through the air and onward to Fujitora. "?!!"

Fujitora was shocked at the display of his fire abilities, something only this tribe could do. Biologically speaking, Lunarians are above humankind when it comes to their natural ability to destroy. It's becoming clearer why the government are hell-bent to create super soldiers based on their genes. Soon SSG would take over the Warlord system when they are unleashed from their caves., Fujitora thought.

As the fire tendrils attempted to lash out his direction, the Admiral conjured three orbs around here, revolving rapidly. With a single swing of his sword, the orbs punched through the air and collided with the enemy's flame attack, seemingly devouring them into nothingness like a black hole. These black holes pulled the flame into it before crumbling them. A massive explosion occurred after the clash but Fujitora would be nowhere his prior location when the obscurity cleared.

Suddenly, several waves of purple energy erupted into the sky as fast as lightning. These waves would later on invoke a terror that even Sephiroth would find hard to deal with. The sky was so dark that night but it became even darker when three celestial bodies started to plummet into the earth's atmosphere. All three diving hard to crush all of Sephiroth and end the madness this young Lunarian was dreaming of.

"This is the end of all of your madness, Sephiroth!", he said firmly as he stood by waiting for the onslaught to ram the battlefield.

"There is no place for your kind in this world anymore. The World Government are in constant hunt for your tribe and there is a big reason why you all perished and almost got buried into extinction. I really wished that I could help to restore everything for you, but that is another story of why I chose to be blind all these years. But it seemed I failed to recognize that even after my blindness, I get to see much more horror in ours today."

"Farewell."

Spoiler

Those are three moon-level attacks theoretically. I am implementing that in this story.

 

[Kaka]

The massive tendrils of fire filled the skies, forming a complex network that was unsafe for anyone but Sephiroth to traverse. Three of the massive tendrils lashed outward, ripping through the distance toward Fujitora. Fujitora spawned three small black holes, swinging his sword and firing them toward the incoming tendrils. As the small black holes collided with the trips of the tendrils, the tendrils were pulled in and crushed, essentially negating Sephiroth's attack. From there, Fujitora fired powerful gravitational energy up into the skies. The skies were dark, storms brewing from the cataclysmic battle. But soon enough, three large objects were seen descending. Three massive meteors were coming down, the fire that they were basking in illuminating the apocalyptic dark sky.

But, this was all according to Sephiroth's plan. The tendrils of fire, of which there were many, started to cluster together, forming three massive dragons of fire.

Sephiroth's eyes burned with fire and he raised his left arm up toward the sky, the palm of his opened hand directing the dragons upward. The three massive dragons collided with the three meteors head on. As the attacks collided, a massive ring of fire and debris erupted, spreading outward along the sky, in its wake followed a shockwave. Sephiroth was clashing with the older man attack for attack. Sephiroth did not yet know that Fujitora was injured, but he knew one thing. He was a young man in his prime, and the Admiral in front of him, had to run out of energy first. Whether Sephiroth's plan would work on not remained to be seen. Egging the old man on, Sephiroth spoke, responding to Fujitora's words.

"There is no place for your kind in this world anymore."

I will create a place for us. An old fart like you won't be able to stop me.

Fujitora summoned three celestial bodies, rupturing the atmosphere before it would devour Sephiroth. But as expected, the young Lunarian had many under his sleeves. The three massive meteors were equally met by equally devastating flame dragons, banging the descent of each of them. The admiral grinned. He was up to something.

In the middle of Sephiroth dealing with them, Fujitora unloosed a bigger pull of gravity in just a single swing of his sword. It catapulted fast enough towards Sephiroth's location, passing by underneath him before it curved behind his back and then home to the rear of the Lunarian, just like a boomerang.

The difference between Fujitora's power and his foe was that, he already fired the meteors and Sephiroth would have to control those flame dragons to erase them all into specks of dust. The trajectory of the gravity ball that was thrown was tricky enough to bypass his attention and secure home. Haki intertwined with the ball of gravity as it aimed to devastate the body of the brave warrior of their tribe.

"So strong but inexperienced enough.", he cursed under his breath.

"Purple Hollow..."

The three mighty dragons of fire ascended upward, colliding head on with the three descending celestial bodies. A powerful shockwave and ring of fire erupted from the point of the collision, travelling outward across the night sky. Fujitora had planned a two level attack, using the grandiosity of his first attack as a setup for the second. Swinging his sword, he unleashed a sphere of purple gravitational energy. The sphere flew down toward Sephiroth in a wide arc, flanking him and then approaching him from the back. Fujitora timed the attack while Sephiroth was still clashing against the meteors. However, attacking Sephiroth's back was a mistake. A Lunarian's back was their most guarded part of the body. After all, that was where their flame was. A tactical mistake by the seasoned Fujitora.

As the purple sphere of gravity was about to collide with Sephiroth, the flames on his back, along with powerful Busou-shoku no Haki, suddenly erupted into a powerful inferno, pushing against the incoming attack.

The collision of the sphere of purple gravitational energy, with the erupting inferno, created a powerful push from behind, launching Sephiroth upward as the three mighty dragons and the three meteors disintegrated in the skies. Like a rocket through the skies, Sephiroth was flying toward Fujitora.

Clash with me head on, old man. Let's see who lady Fate likes more!

Lady Fate is a reference to the fact that Sephiroth is the main character of the ''Fate'' arc of my trilogy.

 

[Gambit]

During the clash of the celestial bodies and Sephiroth's own flaming dragons, Fujitora, after swinging his sword unleashed a sphere of purple gravitational energy that flanked all the way to Sephiroth behind in a beautiful arcing motion. But Fujitora's Purple Hollow would be easily dealt with by the rebel using the flames on his back, quickly exploding like a bomb that defended himself from the admiral's attack.

Fujitora gritted his teeth as soon as he felt the defence being successful and so he gestured his sword forward and so as the rock beneath his feet, launching himself towards the incoming Lunarian. "If that's what you want brat!"

During his onset, Fujitora outstretched his right hand, filling the sword with purple Haki and aura. The sword crackled with purple lightning and some of the darker shades, spiralling around it. With a fast sequence, he brought the sword forward, unleashing a tremendous wave of gravitational force towards Sephiroth but this time, the wrath is upping a notch. He roared to the sky! "Blade Gravity! Heavenly Tiger!"

On the shores, the fleet of men finally landed all 20 of it. The vessels that just set the anchors to the bed of its surrounding waters were still approaching behind the mist so their faces could yet be unravelled. However, the marines manning the shores would have a clear view of what was up for them.

"Th-- Tha- That's the─", fear struck the man holding the glasses as soon as they saw them.

"No! We're doomed!", said the others as they crawled backwards, their eyes widening in horror and agony.

Back in the castle, Cyla was already treated by Camille and Viktoria would soon be healed as well. Camille then approached Regina and told her to watch over the two as they rested. The lady then examined the vicinity only to see the fallen Mechas but much to her surprise, a group of larger mechas were approaching. Together with them was Governor Kasa and a mysterious man holding a staff in his senior years.

 

[Kaka]

Like two shooting stars in the night sky, the two powerhouses ripped through the air toward one another. As Fujitora was descending, powerful purple gravitational energy, as well as black Busou-shoku no Haki and bursts of lightning caused by the sheer instability of the air around him, surrounded him, giving him the appearance of a black and purple shooting star. As Sephiroth was ascending, powerful infernal flames, along with black Busou-shoku no Haki, surrounded him, giving him the appearance of a black and red shooting star. The lightning home to the Raijin Island rumbled, crackled and flashed in the skies, giving a background to the scene of the mighty collision. And then it happened.

As Fujitora and Sephiroth came in striking distance, both of them swung their swords. Fujitora in the form of a backhanded, reverse gripped slash. Sephiroth in the form of a frontal stab. As the tip of Sephiroth's sword ripped forward, the mighty aura around the blade and around Sephiroth formed into the maw of a massive dragon of fire, fashioned with markings of black Busou-shoku no Haki.

INFERNAL MAW!!!

The skies erupted with power and the whole of Raijin Island underneath shook.

As all of Raijin Island shook, the slight trembling of the ground was felt by the unconscious Cyla. Her eyes opened ever so slowly and ever so slightly as she called out to her companion in a faint whisper.

S-Sephiro-...

 

[Gambit]

Fujitora swung his almighty sword fueled with both his Haki and devil fruit ability. The enemy rushed skywards to meet the plummeting wrath of the Admiral. When the two attacks clashed, the entire battlefield exploded once more freezing the tracks of Orochimaru, Orianna, Kabuto, Deidra, and Gabriel (carried by the Deidra on his back). "What was that?!", Orianna commented.

-------------------------​

"That's a huge explosion. You think that Lunarian is dead? Can't wait to experiment on him.", Orochimaru remarked with his evil raspy voice while flicking his snake tongue.

"Nobody is experimenting on the young man, brother!"

"Aaaah. Too bad. I was very adamant about getting his blood samples for some development about some blueprints I gathered from Vegapunk himself. The Brokers are very eager to purchase something that could rival even the prowess of our common enemies, the World Government."

"What precisely are you talking about, brother?"

"You have been careless all this time Orianna. The government will soon abolish the military system of having the Warlords on their sides. They will explore science as the absolute replacement for those entitled criminals. Have you ever heard of SSG?", Orochimaru further explained.

"SSG?", Orianna asked.

"Yes, my dear sister. The SSG is responsible for the research and development of advanced technology and weaponry for the World Government, including the Pacifista and eventually the Seraphim."

"Pacifista is the more common robotics they created to defend their bases without having the risk of killing their own humankind. But the Seraphim, it is another level. You would be surprised if you know the blueprints of this creation!"

"And only one man is responsible for making them all! Vegapunk!"

As he mentioned all this, a boat manned by a Humandrill together with a young sniper is heading towards the island called Egghead Island. Just connecting the current events of the world in this line.

-------------------------​

Back to the fight, Fujitora and Sephiroth were blown away by the impact of mutual devastation. But the Admiral did not stop. After the separation, he quickly rushed the Lunarian at high speed, swinging his blade ultimately and successively as it launched outward multiple purple air slashes.

If the Lunarian blocked any of the 10 purple air slashes, he would feel the after-effect of the technique as soon as it touched his own blade. It was as if, he was being pulled inwards the air slashes and as if his movements are being slowed down by tenths. The purple mammoth roared, "Celestial Neutralizer!"

Back in the mansion, Camille was still watching the group of Kasa approached her dwelling but her eyes widened in shock and excitement when finally, the man with Kasa illuminated when the lighthouse by the coast sprang upon them. Tears fell down her cheeks as soon as he discovered who the man really was. And she fell on her knees.

Holding his cane-like baton, the man got closer and closer. Now a couple of meters apart from Camille, he spoke. "How many years has it been?"

"Daughter."

Here comes the saviour. The man who bonded with Vegapunk during his earlier years. One of the few men who started the revolution against the World Government. The man freed by @Ichimonji La Spada from Impel Down. The man who cut bread with Crocodile in Impel Down. And the man from the Hiraya Kingdom himself.

Enter, THE DARK ELF, King Kalakab Morrow, and the biological father of Prince Landayan Morrow.

"Fatheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer!", Camille rushed with tears dangling in the air like stars in the sky.
