End of a War
Consequences.
Consequences.
The wild card, sent to disrupt both the World Government and the Vampirates and to ensure that enough blood has been shed by both sides for the Spada Pirates to come out on top. However, such plan would not come to fruition, for not only are his crew held up – the Shadow himself failed to eliminate the leader of the Silver Vampirates or their powerful members. Posed as one of the Guardians of Alabasta and sneaked into the heart of their base to rescue the King of Alabasta, only to be ultimately surrounded by the Vampirates, the Shadow barely made it out alive with Cobra in-tow, allowing the King of Alabasta to return to his country in safety with the help of the critters of Alabasta. Whether Akira managed to change enough of the fate of those to be executed through his actions remains to be seen. Could the boy have cause more impact if he wasn’t acting as the Beetle and having promised to save Cobra from the Silver Vampirates? Perhaps so, but with King Cobra returned to Alabasta, perhaps it is enough to negatively impact the Vampirates.
With Cobra saved, the Mask of the Beetle and the outfit is given to Akira, and whilst the critters of Alabasta, the Dugongs and Hasami would not be able to follow Akira as he returns back to the Spada Pirates, yet there is strange feeling that they may find some ways to secretly follow their leader beyond the shores of Alabasta.
As Akira returns to the main ship of the Spada Pirates, only shock, surprises and revenge awaits him there.
“Yah’ failed to eliminate any of the Vampirates. Shadow. Not only that yah’ failed to prevent them from executing tha marines.”
“….”
Silent. The Shadow effectively didn’t accomplish much, any of the powerful members from the Vampirates that was lost in the war isn’t likely due to Akira, and the boy failed to prevent Tsuru’s execution, or death.
La Spada spoke with cold anger. Her body wretched with injuries due to the confrontation with the Straw Hats meant cause the entire plan to fail. The Spada Pirates did not gain anything substantial from the war.
“Yah’ failed me again. And now, yah’ will face tha consequences!”
In a flash, La Spada suddenly grab hold of Akira by his throat with her cold bony hand – a deathly aura permeates from the Yonko in which the badly injured Shadow could not resist. With her other hand – her hook, La Spada pierces the tip of the hook onto the centre of Akira’s chest, though only slightly enough to make sure part of hook pierces into the boy’s flesh. A green light permeates from Akira’s chest as it overtakes the boy in entirety.
Suddenly, Akira realizes he could not transform into his Zoan form. In that moment – before Akira could defend himself against the Grim Reaper herself, La Spada rips out her hook from Akira, causing a small chunk of flesh to be ripped out from the chest as blood spews from the boy’s body. Along with blood, a powerful green aura is stripped out from Akira – but that is not just any aura. It is but the spirit of the Devil pulled out through the use of La Spada’s powerful fruit. In that moment – Akira lost his Devil Fruit as the soul of the Devil dissipates like a puff of smoke, and not only that - it left such a scarring to the soul that Akira could not take another Devil's soul without killing himself.
Greatly weakened from the battle, and now with his powers stripped from him – Akira could barely cling onto his consciousness as he drops to his knees. All he could hear is that laughter Prometheus’ is making beside him, whom now made his way to gloat at his target. The scene is nothing but pure bliss for the Plague as he watched on.
“HAHAHAHAHA! Serves you right Shadow! This will tea-”
SHNNG
Prometheus falls onto the floor aboard the ship as a major slash coming from Akira’s sword cuts into the flesh of the Plague. The revenge is two-fold. Punishment for Akira and Prometheus from both ends. Even though Akira could barely hold onto himself – the complete lack of guard from Prometheus allowed Akira to land a grievous wound upon him.
“Arrghhh! Damn you Shadow! How dare you! I will ki-!”
But before any more words could be heard, Akira completely blacks out as Prometheus' rage becomes inaudible fading noises, causing the boy to fall unconscious aboard the ship. Prometheus would desire to take this chance to kill off Akira – but La Spada herself would not allow it, there is already a back-up plan in the works. Akira will not so easily be let off.
He will still have use. Even without the power of the Zoan. Someone like Akira is destined to be a threat to the Spada Pirates forever more, but until that day comes – La Spada will continue to make use of the boy.
