Slamming his pole into the ground, the Humandrill stood ready for battle. His eyes moved around him, pinpointing his enemies. They were many. There was only one technique he had copied during his many years as an agent to deal with such a group of enemies over such a large area. Indiscriminate. Sun placed his weapon on his back, lowered his head, and began rocking back and forth.

The assassin rocked back and forth in a death rattle, as words echoed.

[Sun Wukong] “SHAKUSHI…”​

​

Enter mayhem.

The rockets came. Before they would hit their target, Sun disappeared from his position in a blur. Suddenly, slash marks started to appear on different spots on the ground, sporadically and impossible to predict. Sun was hard to see, but one could assume wherever the slash marks appeared, the agent had just disappeared from. Suddenly, a set of five claw marks swiped from behind the men, suddenly moving to the next.

As soon as he swiped, the agent was on the move yet again. A powerful, seemingly perpetual, and unresting onslaught. Even after he had attacked, more and more slash marks started to appear on various parts of the ruins, the trunks of nearby trees, the rocks and stones in the area, among other. Panic could set in, not knowing where the attack came from. Until every Shandian fell.

He initiates this move by performing several quick foot movements to propel himself to another location, much like the Soru technique, except that the movements of his feet are more noticeable, suggesting that this ability is a rudimentary form of Soru. This skill is such that at full speed the user is only able to be seen as a vague blur or by the damage their attacks cause.

Despite the fierce resistance of the Shandians, the power of Logia and being a superior opponent allowed the Agent to effectively close the distance between them without effort as none of the Shandians have the capability to utilize Haki in a meaningful way. This allowed the Agent to utilize a powerful technique, to mercilessly and randomly move around the group of Shandians and attack and frightening speed. A brutal attack as the Shandians were outmatched by the lightning speed of Sun, slashing and taking out his enemies at high speed. None of them could react, for chaos and panic set in as the Shandians struggled against their foe. All seems to went just about as expected for the Agent until the same voice of the man whom called him out would quickly reorganize his men quickly to deal with the powerful threat.

“Flash him together! Doesn’t matter where! Just do it!”

As the Agent continues to cut down the group, the remaining soldiers quickly took out their dials, closing their eyes as they did so – a terrible idea for someone in the battlefield, yet all of them did. In just mere seconds, bright lights would emit from the dial, except in masses. They attempted to blind the Agent together, it didn’t matter where Agent was looking for a brief moment, for he would be surrounded by sudden bright light, enough to disorient the Agent even for a brief second – likely stopping his attacks dead in the tracks for a moment were he hit by the flash dial. And even if he were not he would likely been stopped by the group efforts as well.

“Take him down!”

Their eyes opened, safe from the flash attack almost in unison. Switching to their dials – the two closest men would take out two dials. The first dial would suddenly fire a powerful air current towards the Agent. A stench could be smelt; the gas is different – sulphurous-like smell. If the Agent is knowledgeable of dangerous gases he might immediately recognize a possibility of flammable gas being deployed. But just a moment later – the second dial is used, fire now ignited from the dial. A combination of gas and fire to create flamethrowers, perhaps it would be enough to take down the Agent?

Indiscriminate. The agent attacked a large area, able to cut down many of the Shandians soldiers. Panic set in, as a blur weaved between them. It took many, until one of the leaders commanded the use of flash. Sun stopped mid field, covering his eyes. For a moment, he stopped. He was forced to do so, before an explosion overtook him.

There was silence. Suddenly, from the thinning smoke, a mud body slowly regained its shape. The agent panted. On his regrown skin, there were patches of singed skin. Generally, however, he seemed not very hurt. The vitality of the agent was far superior. Sun chuckled, now puffing his chest.

The Humandrill’s jumped, spinning with his legs outstretched.

[Sun Wukong] “Rankyaku: Renge Barrage!”​

​

From the position in the air, airblades were birthed from the spinning man, raining down on the battlefield like razor blades. Sun had his eyes closed, to avoid being blinded, using his mantra to pinpoint the men, using it to aim. The agent aimed to finish off the remaining Shandians. The agent needed to move on to the temple.

Sun aimed to leave the ruins in more ruin.

The flash did not work – but it forced the Agent into stop his attack, it was better to stop his own attack prematurely before they would disorient the Agent longer then he would think. This quick thinking allowed the Shandians to utilize their flamethrower-like attacks onto Sun. Yet, thankfully for the Agent – he is far too strong to be taken down by mere flamethrowers. As the attack barely fazed him in actuality. This definitely surprised the Shandians, but it proved that Sun is not invincible, for his patches of burnt skin shows damage. The Shandians, having no true way to deal with Sun – allowed the Agent to quickly jumped high up before unleashing a barrage of air blades from his legs, continuously taking down more and more Shandians. But he closed his eyes, which while prevented Sun from being blinded once more, instead created a storm of air blades without proper targeting, making it slightly easier for some of the Shandians to simply get out of the way.

“Split up and get back to base! We need to let those in Angel Island know about this!”

The same man would shout, ordering the rest to quickly retreat as much as they could – but perhaps the order is a little late for Sun has mostly dispatched the Shandians guarding the ruins. But only a small group remains of it, numbering less than ten and they are in full retreat. One man however stood in the midst of it, Wiper. The leader of the Shandians, or at least for this group. Firing a rocket launcher once more towards the Agent, even though he knew no damage is to be done – the smoke caused by the explosive reaction of the rocket would obscure the man’s vision.

“Fight me!”

Wiper called him out. He needs his troops to get back to their camp, for the man has betrayed those in Angel’s Island and they have to know of what happen. This coupled with the remaining ten completely split off makes it far more difficult for Sun to chase down.

The ruins were torn, occurs g slashes everywhere. The Shandians began to fall. Some survived, thanks to the blind barrage. The agent landed softly, now taking a deep breath to catch same. The men began running away, a tactic to alert those in Angel Island. Was this the third faction at bay? Amidst the many, one stood out, challenging Sun. A smokescreen came first, using a rocket to cloud the line of sight.

As a retort, Sun Wukong spun, creating a mini-tornado to blow the smoke away. Cat Spin. Sun now stood a few meters from Wiper.

[Sun Wukong] “Are you the leader? How noble of you. Do not worry, the others will live. Skypiea will live in chaos. Prepare yourself.”​

​

The agent pointed both hands towards Wiper. Suddenly, a brown goop came from his hands. In a loud consistent blasts, mud bullets came from his hands, riddling the area Wiper was on. He aimed to wound Wiper with the relentless blasts.

The agent ran behind the bullets, rushing Wiper.

@Ichimonji ​

The Agent took the challenge, a sacrificial bait by Wiper at worst – knowing that his men would be able to get back to safety is the biggest concern. The Agent would taunt Wiper, pointing both hands at him like a gun. Brown goops would form around his fingertips before it would fire a multitude of goopy bullets at Wiper, forcing the man to run sideways immediately, dodging the gunfire, making use of the ruins surrounding him as cover. The rest of the Shandians would start to get further and further away.

Moving away whilst taking cover with the sturdy ruins, Wiper have to come up with a plan – his dial pouch comprises of several dials, one being a reject dial and an axe dial. Having seen the invulnerability that Agent Sun posed throughout the firefight, with only flame dials having seen working to a small degree. Wiper only truly needed to buy time and it is far more difficult than he would expect. Breathing for a moment, Wiper continues to make conversation with the Agent, aiming to ensure that the Agent remains fighting him.

“Councilman Rajiv from Angel’s Island told me you are helping them deal with the murder case of Councilman Odo. But it seems like you are just trying to play both sides.”

Wiper shouted in response to the Agent’s words. It seems like the connection of the Shandians and those in Angel’s Island are now revealed. The missing connection which Sun did not perhaps realize. And perhaps with the men leaving the ruins back to their camp, would become very problematic for the Agent. Grabbing his reject dial, Wiper only have to wait till the gunfire dies down – constantly checking for the Agent’s location.

@Sea​

The ruins were housing a battle. The leader known as Wiper held the agent Sun Wukong as his men retreated. The Shandians spoke about how the Councilman told him of Sun. A chain in the link. The agent smirked. However, his job was done. Pitting the Angel Island citizens to Enel’s Army was the way to divide the Sky - all the agent needed was give Enel’s Army firepower to continue the fight, which led him to the temple’s treasure.

The agent, as he stopped shooting bullets and still dashing towards Wiper, spoke convincingly.

[Sun Wukong] “Well, you know too much, my son. You’d be a good man for intel. But alas, I must end you here.”​

​

Suddenly, Sun Wukong kicked his legs various times, disappearing suddenly, propelling himself in the air above Wiper, and then bouncing downward with great speed. Kamisori. The agent came down with his right arm cocked back, ballooned to make a human-sized fist of mud, hardened with armaments haki. The fist came down and the agent’s whole body hardened, using Tekkai and momentum in a great conduit, aiming at Wiper’s head.

[Sun Wukong] “Tekkai: Sai Blast Hold!!”​

The attack would be sufficient to create a large crater. Yet, that was not the only effect. Upon contact, or lack thereof, the fist and Sun’s body would explode in an explosion of mud. So much, it would cover the crater. It would aim to cover Wiper and hold him in sticky mud.

@Ichimonji ​

The battle within the ruins continues, with more information being provided to the Agent – it seems that the actions of Sun have definitely weakened the political situation in Skypiea. The Agent smirked, his confidence that he has achieved his goals is now shown in full display. All that it seems to remain now is to rid the Shandian and finally to retrieve the artefact in question. And to that effect, the Agent would dive bomb down towards Wiper after chasing after him – from the air the man dove with maximum power, prompting Wiper to jump away from the epicentre. A powerful force destroyed the ruins surrounding them, but Wiper dived away, yet the combination of a decently powerful shockwave and the explosion of mud spread outwards increasing the range of the attack a few folds.

The blast while Wiper has managed to dive out from, bits of muds would hit Wiper – covering parts of his arms as well as his left leg. This significantly slows down Wiper’s movement. But it wasn’t just that, Wiper barely managed to dodge away, and the shockwave of attack would have hit his body at that point. But by this time, his men have left the area – which means that he would now have to try and lose the Agent. Firing a bazooka off from the sling at his back, the attack was never meant to damage Agent, knowing full well the effectiveness of their attacks by now, it serves nothing but to distract the man whilst Wiper tries to make his own getaway. The rocket wouldn’t hit the Agent, but it would hit his surroundings. The effect of Sun’s attack has badly destroyed the infrastructure of the ruins, but the bazooka aimed for these ruins, destroying the columns supporting the ruins from falling which would result in the more rocks and stones falling down onto the Agent. With his movement impeded, Wiper only has limited options to run away – and in this ruins there is only one option.

Wiper would start to head towards an entrance of a ruins. For he would expect the Agent to give chase and from there it is easier to lose him. In his hand he wields a dial – the Shandian would sort of limp, thanks to the sticky-like mud slowing him down.

The agent showed his prowess with martial arts, coming down with a combination attack. A crater was left in its wake, mud everywhere. The Shandian had dodged, now moving towards the temple. On his way, the Ma caused pillars to fall in an effort to keep the agent back, as the man ran to the ruins, mud on his body.

Faced with the falling pillars, the agent re-formed, pushing off and vaulting high. In what may be a shock to Wiper, the agent bounced on the air, utilizing Geppou to kick off towards the ruins from the sky. In this way, the agent avoided the impediments. As he bounced towards the ruins in chase of Wiper, the agent screamed, hands cocked back.

[Sun Wukong] “YOU’RE NOT GETTING AWAY!!!”​

From the agent’s hands, like a cannon, threw a mud ball with all his strength. It would aim not for Wiper, but for the entrance of the temple. The mud would create a barrier, a wall. If Wiper wanted to go in, he’d either need to destroy it or run past it, running the risk of having more mud on him.

Regardless, Sun aimed to buy time to catch up, as he descended on the temple stairs and gave chase.

 

[Sea]

Skypiea
@Ichimonji ​

Wiper ran. As much as he could muster to quickly get up onto temple entrance, yet the Agent quickly noticed the situation and tried to remedy the situation, he would give chase – his intention however was to prevent the man from getting into the temple, the worst possible outcome should Wiper managed to escape. With a mud-like bomb shot out towards the temple, acting as a form of barrier to prevent Wiper from entering the temple, the man has to pin all his hopes into one singular set of actions. Throwing the dial from his hands behind him towards Sun, Wiper quickly turn around immediately and faced the mud barrier. For the Agent, he would notice a dial thrown towards him, but in mere seconds, a powerful blinding flash would occur once more, aiming to disorient him. This time with no verbal cues of what the dials would do as before, the chances of getting disoriented are much higher.

Regardless of the result, Wiper would quickly sling his bazooka into his hands and ran directly to the mud barrier. Stabbed into the mud barrier with the bazooka’s barrel at point blank. Wiper fired the bazooka at point blank. Aiming to properly destroy the mud barrier in one go, should the mud barrier persists – Wiper would forcefully push the bazooka to try and break it down once and for all. This action however also has its consequences, for the explosion at point blank and the close proximity of the attack would not only further injure Wiper more but also incur mud onto his body, further bogging him down. But once the mud barrier is down, Wiper would enter the temple, coincidentally also the objective of Sun that he intends to achieve for the God’s Army.

The Cipher Pol agent gave chase, using his powers to block the way. The Shandian responded by throwing a dial. The Humandrill, having seen it before, had an idea, but the flash still came. The agent closed his eyes and used his arms to block the light. However, he was still partially blinded. This allowed Wiper to break through the mud wall and go inside. Enough time to escape the clutches.

Yet, the agent did not stop. He grunted and Geppou to land.

[Sun Wukong] “You won’t get me with that trick again…”​

The agent declared lowly, giving chase to the man. This time, mud gorged around his eyes, ready to close at a moments notice. The Monkey Sage would keep his mantra on high as he entered the temple.

 

[Sea]

@Ichimonji ​

The man entered the temple, whilst the disoriented Sun continues to give chase – having faced with the flash dial several times, the Agent came to conclude that he no longer will be caught by the flash dial once more, with mud acting as a protective lens of sorts ready to protect the eyes of the Agent at an even faster rate. Kept with his guard up, the Agent entered the temple. Within the temple ruins, the first thing that came into his vision is the large temple structures in a massive open cavern space, almost as if the world within and the world outside is different in a sense. A stone face would be seen on the other side, between them is a broken bridge and beneath him is are more parts of the temple ruins.

The temple is vertically spaced, rather than horizontally scaled. This means that whatever secret is held within this temple, lies at the bottom of the ruins. The footsteps of someone running, possibly Wiper could be heard, though the footsteps are enhanced by the echoes of the cavern ruins, reverberating the sound and amplifying loud enough for Sun to hear, but the exact location of the sounds are hard to pinpoint, yet the sound at the very least can be concluded towards the bottom. Should Sun get to the other side of the broken bridge, he would find narrow pathways following downwards, these narrow pathways are quite tight, traps may be all around the corner, based on even slight missteps. But should Sun opt to throw himself into the abyss at the bridge, he would fall descend quickly, but he would be less likely to find the right path and clues to the secrets of the temple ruins.

What would the Agent choose to do?

 

[Ichimonji]

Dividing the Sky! #40
@Sea​

Sun Wukong entered the temple in pursuit of Wiper and the treasure. The agent stopped short of the bridge, looking down at the abyss. The sounds were heavy, yet, with the echo, hard to pinpoint. Sun tried to concentrate his mantra, but to no avail. The agent was proficient with Precognition, not with Awareness. The decision was made.

With a swing of his leg, a Rankyaku hit the statute at the other side. It would cause the statute to fall in chunks to the abyss. Meanwhile, Sun leaped past towards the narrow pathway, taking his chances in the obvious traps. Using the echo to his advantage, Sun used the falling debris to cloak his approach, in hopes Wpier would be none the wiser.

[Sun Wukong] “Numa Armor…”​

As Sun ran inside, mud covered his body and hardened, creating a mud armor. Keeping his mantra at the ready, the agent ran quickly in search of clues and the treasure, going downhill towards where Wiper was.

 

[Sea]

Skypiea
@Ichimonji ​

The Agent decided on taking the long route, but not before defacing what’s left of the ruins by destroying the face statue atop of the bridge. Letting it drop into the abyss below, the Agent would continue his path, footsteps are less amplified, likely with his target slowing down. While this might mean that either the man is tired, or that he is doing something else – perhaps even injured from the possible traps of the ruins. No matter, the Agent would pursue his target relentlessly, with his Devil Fruit the traps are less likely to kill him, but he would be careful that not all traps are made equal.

The Agent would descend down the pathway, narrow as it is. Each step the Agent took; he could feel how old the ruins are. It is a wonder the temple held its infrastructure for so long despite the damaged state. He would also have to be careful as well, as a decaying temple ruins means the fragility of the whole place collapsing down onto him should something strong enough affect it. Each step of the concrete bricks is sometimes flimsy, though mostly held in proper and provide a stable path. The Agent would walk downhill – he would start noticing lit up torches along the way, perhaps Wiper did so to illuminate a path? The pathway while having a source of light makes it hard to see finer details of his surroundings, each torch is lit with a decent distance, each step are not just concrete bricks any longer but also plants, flowers and vines growing alongside the walls and floors. And soon, the torches no longer illuminate the path, for a dark path past the narrow corridor would appear before the Agent. A disturbing corridor, with potential traps.

@Sea​

The agent went where no other Blue Sea dweller went before, straight into the heart of the ruin. His Numa Armor outfitted his body, and his mantra kept alert. Follow the lights. The agent slowly walked down, following the lights. It seemed to be a trap, in fact, it most certainly was, yet the agent was not one to back down. He had not come this far to turn around now.

Suddenly, the lights went out. Darkness.

[Sun Wukong] “How was it that Conis said…? Ah, here we go.”​

Sun had produced a dial. It was the Flame Dial he had obtained from Conis. He had taken her instructions and hit the apex gently. This caused a small flame to be birthed from the dial, at least a hand in length. The agent was resourceful. Sun used the flames to light his way, as he went deeper into the corridor.

Come out, Wiper.

 

[Sea]

Skypiea
@Ichimonji ​

The lack of lights has prompted a concern over traps, it is the most obvious location to put traps logically speaking after all. The darkness covered throughout the rest of the corridor – only death, fear and darkness would be all but the man’s thoughts. But the resourcefulness of the Agent allowed him to utilize what he acquired in this journey – a flame dial. Instructions given through the original trade between them – a flicker of light would emanate from the dial; a small warmth would embrace the Agent of this cold darkness. The Agent is too far into this to turn back and all he could do is continue his path forward into the darkness, with a small light – the only commodity that would prove to be incredibly useful in this situation. The quiet footsteps of the Agent continue to resonate through the corridors, its sound amplified by the narrow corridors. And soon, the Agent would eventually take one step by a time – and before he would know it the next step he would take would suddenly be half-stable, his feet at the front would no longer be touching anything, as small crumbling bits of the floor would fell, a seemly dead end to the path he took. But that’s not all he would recognize.

The sounds of flowing water beneath him, the dampness of the atmosphere, the smell of water would eventually change what the Agent would sense, from the dry narrow corridor to what seems to be a sudden wide open area. Logically speaking, if one were to presume the route, the way forward directly in front of the Agent should result in a continuation of the corridor, for perhaps this is simply a destroyed part of the temple. But given the lack of context to the temple, whether the area may lead to a shortcut to another part of the temple or not would be hard to conclude. Even with a small flame held by the Agent, it is unlikely that saving around the flame dial would show much, if he wishes to explore this area or even move to the next area, he would have to literally leap into the unknown, with the dangers of the possible dropping into what could be a river underneath him.

The agent had trepidation on this path. He had gone down the dark beaten path. He had his mud armor on and his senses keen, but the road led him to a cliff. The flame was not able to tell much. Where was Wiper, the agent thought? This had turned into a real quagmire, with the danger level rising to what he thought was uncomfortable. Tension filled the air. Sun’s heart was beating too fast - he had lost that assassin composure.

The agent stopped at the cliff hanger. He took a step back and sat down. They called him Sun Wukong “The Sage”. The agent took a Indian-style seat and closed his eyes. He took a few deep breaths and inhaled. Slowly, his blood pressure went down. Soon, the agent regained that calm that made him so deadly.

Sun opened his eyes, now evaluating the situation with more calm.

[Sun Wukong] Investigate first, before committing to a path. This dial is not the only treasure you have obtained. Steel your nerves. See the mission through.​

Sun had made up his mind. The Humandrill stood up, grabbing the Flame dial with his tail, still lit. From his chest, the Burn Bazooka he had gotten in his first run-in with God’s Army came from his mud body. Sun grabbed it over his shoulder, shooting a shell in front of him and below him. The explosion of flames would illuminate the path.

Sun would keep the Burn Bazooka and Geppou forward, guided by what he saw. If in front of him was the continuation of the path, that’s what he would take. If there was nothing, Sun would slowly descend towards the waters, using Geppou and his dials to mind the surroundings.

@Ichimonji ​

Instead of diving head straight into the unknown, the Agent quietly took a step back in his actions and started to breathe. The situation has grown bizarre – despite the confidence the man has so far put forth, it was crumbling a little as he failed to take out Wiper before the temple, this led to this terrible situation where the man is the only person that do not have the same confidence as Wiper did in navigating the temple. But his breathing technique has allowed the man to calm down, an important trait to have especially in this precarious situation. The man has no way of knowing when and where is Wiper, whether there are any traps waiting for it to happen. As such, only by playing the patience game that the Agent can adapt to the situation without diminishing his mental fortitude. It will be a game of patience, of prey and predator.

The Agent stood up, quietly – before he would disrupt the silence by taking out a burn bazooka, aimed in front of him as he fired ahead. The flaming projectile would shoot out and illuminate whatever it could around room before it would hit the earth wall around it, yet a path exists – but a broken down corridor. The path is hurdled with moss and plants, much more than he would from his own corridor – an old path yet seems to be a direct continuation of what he hoped for. The second flaming projectile would be fired below him, showing several individual concrete blocks eroding out and beside it streams of water flowing to his left and downstream before sizzling out as it hits the water, causing a large splash of water with its impact. Perhaps a room exposed downwards of the temple. Presumably should Sun continue his path through the intended corridor – he would have to either move old concrete blocks out of the way or squeeze into it.

However, as soon as he did manage past the broken entrance Sun would step onto a block onto the floor as the single block of concrete floor would sink and depress, following a large rumbling sound within the temple to resonate throughout. Yet nothing happens around the Agent’s vicinity, save for falling dusts off the corridors. But Sun would know that something must have happened, he just has not felt the impact of the depressed block.

Gaining his composure, the agent used tactics to light the way forward. Using a Burn Bazooka, he viewed the way down and forward. As intended, the staircase continued. Without the need to take the risk, Sun Geppoued forward to the intended path, putting the Burn Bazooka back inside his body. The agent would soon have to turn to mud to squeeze through.

Soon he would make it to an entrance, perhaps the same room he had seen from above.

[Sun Wukong] Those sounds… doesn’t sound good. Where is that man? Guarding the treasure?​

Thoughts plagued the Humandrill’s mind. The depressed stone was concerning, and Sun used the flame dial to light his way. He kept his eyes open, his armor on, and ears open to catch any traps, or more importantly, any sign of Wiper or the treasure. A strange land. A strange temple.

The agent had already Divided the Sky. Time to end the chapter.

@Ichimonji ​

The hallway is narrow, water dripped down amongst the cracks of concretes – the Agent would continue his long journey into the heart of the temple. And soon along the corridor, he would find something different, the hallway opens up into a large hallway, but instead of continuing forward a long sets of stairs would greet the Agent that would have him descend down deeper into the temple. Should the Agent start to descend down the stairs – it is a long stairway but it is much different than the long continuous hallway he has been traversing. Minutes after the stairway, upon descending down a loud rumbling could be heard from behind and above him – and soon, should the Agent turn to the source of noise he would notice a large rock in a shape of a boulder would roll down onto the stairs, covering almost the entirety of the stairs enough that the man would find it impossible to just move out of the way without having to deal with it in another way. No matter how the Agent deals with it, he may soon find himself at the base of the stairs, and the hallway completely opens up into a massive room.

​

Familiar ruins which he has seen on the entrance of the temple, but these time there are not just stone face statutes but also dogs and elephant statues. In the middle of the open room, a singular structure stood out in the middle with open doors that have a single twisting stairwell, leading further deeper into the temple. However, in between the Agent and the structure – a small dial could be seen in the open in the small puddle of water. A strange random object to be found in the middle of nowhere, not covered in dusts or moss, as if dropped by someone recently. Should the Agent approach the dial, he may accidentally onto yet another depressed stone just at the base of the small stairs. In an instant should he did – several arrows would shoot straight from both sides off walls of the big open room. This time however, some of the arrows are imbued with seastone at its tips, aiming to incapacitate Sun while the rest of the arrows would aim to injure the legs and arms of the Agent. At this point, behind Sun, above him a rocket is fired upon at him. A trap.
