One Piece: Reborn and Skypiean

Chapter 231

—

When Sin appeared out of nowhere, Sengoku was about to bang his head against the wall. He only calmed down when he realized there was no Amon around, he could not feel it even after stretching his Observation Haki to its limit. That gave him a little hope. Sins may be strong, but they still pose no threat to an Emperor. 

But now? Now that Kaido jumped from the sky, Sengoku felt his heart stop for a moment.

What the hell is going on here!?

He immediately regretted this idea of public execution back then. He wanted to lure Whitebeard, and only him. Now, there were two more Emperors involved. Three of the Four living Emperors were here. However, he couldn't feel better knowing Shanks wasn't participating, in fact, it stung him knowing Shanks wasn't here. Because if the redhead comes here, the Marines will really have someone on their side, that's what Sengoku can say. 

There's another problem to worry about. Big Mom is here, even if she dies, she's here. It seemed like he was also not weaker, he actually looked stronger if there were others. It whispered the question, how could he be stronger without his Homies?

He somehow defeated Kaido in strength ... how exactly did he do that ??

There was a reason behind it that Sengoku did not know. Big Mom was an emperor, her corpse would need the shadow of one or several strong people to make her a proper Shadow Soldier. So Ammon used his own sons against him. Some of Big Mom's children whom he didn't kill were all used in experiments. Almost all failed experiments, yes, but only a few died. They were now mindless beasts, deformed creatures like the Numbers of the Beasts Pirates, but they had their own uses.

Locking them in a dark prison inside New Thriller Bark, Yona simply unleashes their shadows and mashes them inside their precious Mama's corpse. In the canon, when many shadows were inserted into Luffy, he had become Nightmare Luffy, Big Mom had not gone through that level of change because most of the shadows were used just to 'start' him, ' Big Mom had not gone through that level of change, but he was clearly stronger than his surviving life partner, at least physically.

Unfortunately, he cannot use Haki. Normally, if the corpses that knew how to use Haki in their lifetimes were given a strong shadow, he would be able to use Haki even as a Shadow Soldier, but that was not the case for Big Mom. Haki was about 'Will', the Shadow Soldier had no word 'Will' and only received it from the shadows that were inside. In the case of Big Mom, she was filled with shadows of people who were basically in a coma, they could not have any desires. In fact, Big Mom moves only because of her natural instincts.

Sengoku is relieved to see Big Mom unable to use Haki and is eventually slowly overpowered by Kaido. 

Crack~Bam !

Kaido dealt a devastating blow to Linlin's head using his Thunder Bagura, causing an open wound on his forehead but no blood dripped. After all, he was a corpse. 

Kizaru back then had moved away from the two rampaging Emperors. Sengoku wanted to curse the coward, but if he was in his place, also considering he was as weak as Kizaru, he would do the same. 

Meanwhile, Whitebeard was busy with dozens of Vice Admiral, and Yona had retreated to another enemy. That girl is dangerous, to be honest. He was practically wiping out the battlefield with an eraser at this moment. If he was not stopped, this would be bad for both sides. 

Sengoku knocks on his Walkie-Talkie, sending a call, which is picked up by a man with a sadistic grin.

["That redhead, you mean?"]

["My grandfather, of course... I have been looking for an opportunity to avenge the Celestial Emperor. Now that Kaido is here on the same battlefield, I'm not afraid."]

'Fear'. Doflamingo, the Heavenly Devil, is afraid of Amon? Did Sengoku miss anything? Then again, he missed a lot when Amon was the subject. Amon always knew there were spies, and if he felt too lazy to kill them, he walked out of them in a matter of milliseconds. 

While Sengoku clenched his jaws, Doflamingo cut the call and ran towards Yona, the Arch Priestess. His thin rope cut off several of the heads of the Shadow Warrior and Whitebeard Pirates as he reached in front of him, grinning like a madman.

After staring at the two for a moment, Sengoku shifted his gaze from there, Doffy will take care of the girl, he has nothing to worry about here. He has to take care of the others too. Next, Sengoku's eyes were fixed on the man who burned everything with his blue fire. Official title, Fire Fist, then Fire Sultan, and now just Sin of Pride. 

Sengoku frowned at him. He did the most damage among the Sins, the least of which was the Motor Gang. He thought that the girl, Raki, would be the most dangerous here, and she was right, but she was busy so she barely did any damage to the Whitebeard Pirates or the Marines.

Turning towards him, Sengoku finds him clashing with Hawkeye Mihawk from end to end. Hawkeye.. Mihawk . He might be overall weak, but as long as he had a sword in his hand? He may also be called Emperor. And the girl was fighting him from end to end. Well, maybe not end to end . Sengoku was not a swordsman, but Mihawk was clearly superior there. 

Once again, Sengoku turned to Wyper. He decided who to send after him. Mad Treasure, one of the Shichibukai. He has a great demon fruit, the fruit of the Chains. He could make chains from all over his body. It was actually an alternate version of Vice Admiral Hina's ability, but the fact Mad Treasure could make his chains imitate sea stones, which easily made him excel. It was not an actual sea stone, of course, no demon fruit could make it, but it worked the same way. When the chains wrapped around the Devil fruit user, they lost most of their strength.

Sengoku was about to use his Walkie-Talkie again to summon Mad Treasure, but he saw someone jump down from the Admiral's Seat from above. The man wearing a red suit and pants under the floating Sea Admiral robe, Akainu Sakazuki, the only Admiral yet to make a move, jumped towards Wyper.

Magma vs Fire. Sengoku convinced himself. Wyper's been taken care of.

...Or her?

—★—

Something big was at sea, only a few kilometers away from Marineford, and closed the gap at high speed. 

As the Seakings moved, they ran and escaped away from the construction that was swimming under the sea. 

A metallic object shaped like an earthworm but thousands of times larger, exactly 3 kilometers long, was walking on the sea like a snake. 

That's an Ancient Weapon, Pluton.

Who knew all Ancient Weapons could move underwater? Then again, If Pluton could not move through the water in this world where 90% of it was covered in water, then the weapon might even be useless. So it made sense after a little thought.
