Chapter 257

After doing so, Thunder Emperor Amon floated down before telling Raki- "Also, think twice before you transform into your human or hybrid form. Because you know ... You'll be naked."
He only moaned back then, giving him the entertainment he needed, before he decided to jump to the ground in front of the ruined building.
From the rubble of the damaged building, he could see many hands slowly creeping upwards. But before they could actually get out, he saw a fly running towards him.
"Dead, Celestial Emperor-"
Before the fly could finish his words, Amon attacked.
The fly that came and its ant counterpart, Kid and Killer, felt danger instantly attacking them. Of course they could not react, just as each of Amon's palms pierced through their chests, grabbed their hearts, and pulled them out.
Their shocked-faced corpses could not even fall to the ground as Kiyu opened the door to the Door Dimension in midair where the two corpses disappeared. Amon just threw out a heart there as well, as if throwing garbage in a trash can.
He turned around while wiping his hands with a handkerchief.
"Oh, hey, you guys are a lot," said Amon, whistling at two dozen Roger Pirates with a dozen other allies. "I'm so sorry I attacked all of a sudden. I'm just offended that you started the game without me, the VIP Guest, as you guys say."
Pirate Navigator Roger, the redhead—igns his words—looks at the sky where Raki spits out Heat Breath like candy.
"You only brought one companion?" He asked, his voice containing disbelief. "How weak do you think we are?"
Amon blinked at him before shrugging his shoulders. “Well, for assessment, Raki is about 164x weaker than me. Previously, he took out Rayleigh, even considering the help he received. Now, with his new fruit, he's much stronger than the old Rayleigh. That is, if I was 164 times stronger . than him, and you were all as strong as old Rayleigh, I could easily beat three dozen-"
"Stop, shut up! I'm not asking for analysis." The woman gritted her teeth. "And stop lying, you can't be a hundred times stronger than the thing flying in the sky."
"Correction, this is one hundred and sixty-four."
"I don't care!"
Hearing the woman's cry, Amon shrugged his shoulders again. "All right." Then he exploded and reappeared with a severed head in his hand, just as his body fell to the ground from where it was before. "Anyone else have questions?"
The people in front of him took a while to absorb the situation as their eyes turned red and they rushed towards him with a unified shout.
However, one man did not run to Amon.
Even as angry as Bullet was, he instead ran the other way. Towards Raki. From his surroundings, the destroyed buildings, the dead pirate weapons in the 'Game', and everything else began to rush towards the Bullet, surrounding it and forming castle-like armor around his body.
Amon let him.
—★—
Raki was thinking about his business by throwing a breath of fire everywhere to release his pent-up frustration at Amon. It killed some pirates, he noticed. Which is a good thing, also because he was supposed to burn the world here.
Then the annoying big fist smashed into his face which flew in the sky . The large hand covered in weaponry caused Raki—which was basically not scratched— to frown and sigh as well, but the thing did not evaporate as he had expected.
It was broken, right, its breath was hot enough to become plasma, but the huge metal giant would need a dozen more beams to completely shatter. So instead, as his fist came towards him again, he thrust his draconic head towards him.
His yellow horns turned black like ink, crackling with a black glint from his newly discovered Conqueror Layer, as he struck the head of the incoming fist.
The fist could not connect with the horn and also could not advance because it was not coated Haki Conqueror—a bullet of power did not have access to such force—so the air vibrated, the earth trembled, the power did not, and Raki's head was pushed forward.
The enemy tried to retaliate with the other giant hand, releasing a cry of pain, but Raki's tail whipped his neck, and upon contact, the space broke into pieces like glass.
The giant neck of Douglas Bullet slapped and twisted against the power of the Gura-Gura no Mi as he roared furiously and in shock.
"How do you have two demonic fruit powers?!" He shouted from inside his armor. "Is that how you killed Rayleigh?! By cheating?!"
His tone turned furious as his neck began to recover by absorbing the pirate ship fleet through one of its extended tentacles.
However, Raki acted again. This time with his jaw widened he overcame the metal giant's head.
The bullet screamed in pain again.
Raki realized a few seconds ago that whoever operated this thing could indeed feel the pain of the damage inflicted. So, he whipped the incoming attack with his tail while digging his Conqueror's Haki-lined fangs deeper .
Just when things became adequate, other pirates around saw this as a — chance as Bullet had originally planned on — and ran to attack Raki. They could not reach the sky, so they ran through Bullet's body to get up. The bullets allowed them and soon dozens of them to gather and start attacking Raki as well.
That gave Bullet the opportunity to create more weapons that could escape Raki's tail, and hence, the tide of the battle began to change.
“Uuggghhh! I can't even use my hybrid form!!”—Only that's all he can say before Bullet's hand hits his jaw, smashing his body to the ground.
—★—
Amon experienced a relatively easy battle, as expected.
Among the three dozen people, some had escaped clear from the allied forces. Except for them, the others continued to attack Amon at once.
The Roger Pirates never ate the devil fruit, they even hated it a little. So, it was no wonder that they only used their fists or weapons.
Most use swords, as they are the most widely used weapons in the world, but some use sticks and spiked weapons.
With that weapon, they attacked Amon from all sides.
Three swords from his left and right, two sticks towards his head and knees, and dozens of bullets layered with Haki.
None of them hit Amon.
Though he did it more casually than a farmer who walked to his farm to work a dull day.
As in the war, he moved as if he was avoiding raindrops on a rainy day. Something impossible, but it really happened.
"Stop dodging! Our opponent!"
A fat man in his 30s, black hair and a thin mustache shouted while swinging a cane.
"You sure?" Amon asked while dodging one of his attacks.
"Yes!"
That was all he could say before his death approached in the form of a curved plasma blade. It cut its body in half, causing two slices to fall to the ground at once.
The others paused for a moment before continuing their attacks.
The navigator was weak, but the one who had just died was one of the fighters.
'What's wrong with this man's strength ...'
Doubts began to appear within them even as their movements began to hesitate. Can ... Their captain beat this kid? In his prime, can he do it?
'...Of course, he can!'
They immediately shook their heads. Of course, Roger could face a kid in his 20s. Anyway, it's Roger .. He can, right?
Amon, moving slowly, tucked his palm into the chest of a girl—his 7th korbannya since the fat man—and pulled his heart out of his shattered chest.
'B-he can, right?'
Amon's hand grabbed a man's throat before pulling his vocal cords into the air.
“K-EVERYTHING,”
No, their captain could not match this man.
“RETRET FOR NOW !!”
The others had no doubts about the orders of their current pseudo leader. They only kicked in hopes of running far away, however, Amon's body doubled as dozens of them stood up against the dozens who ran, therefore stopping them from dying in his tracks.
All Ammon had an amused cold grin on their lips as they wiped their bloody hands with a handkerchief.
"I can't believe I asked you to leave, right?" He said, looking at the remaining 15 people. “Show me the power that made the Roger Pirates so famous— very dangerous. Do not try to run, do not try to run, because remember, death is faster than light.”
“H-hey!” One of the allies was crying. "I-I'm not part of Roger's Pirates, let me go-"
"Oh?" Amon's finger pointed at his skull before a beam of yellow light left his fingertips and pierced through the man's skull, causing the corpse to fall flat on its back in silence. “Should have said it before.”
Seconds passed, as the Roger Pirates exchanged glances. Then they clenched their weapons tightly .. before loosening the grip as their weapons fell.
"Kill us." Their current pseudo-leader, a burly man with a long black beard reached his waist, saying. “You have no right to make fun of us when you can kill us at will. Just kill us!!”
The others seemed to share his sentiments as they nodded very slowly. After all, they were old men who had long accepted death, so now death was a better choice than having them reconsider the strength of their captain, his greatness.
"You sure?" All Ammon tilted their heads.
After a long time, they nodded again, with the allies shaking their heads quickly only to have their hearts torn apart.
Then Amon nodded. “Oh well, I don't like it when the enemy gives up, so I guess I'll end it.”
All Ammon crossed their hands in front of them and made a 'perfect' mark by having their thumbs touch their middle fingers. Then, from within the fingertips, light shone and then thousands of yellow light particles invaded the enemy, creating tens or even hundreds of holes in their bodies in an instant.
“ «Holy Gem Yasakani» - Oh..” Amon flashing. "I'm too late to say it, they're dead."
He slowly put his hands down as all the bodies fell to the ground, most of their flesh was lost due to the hole.
“Take a guess Pika-Pika no Mi is much stronger with Conqueror's Coating.”
He shrugged and then turned his head towards Raki's fight.
"Oh…"
—★—
Raki was annoyed when his head hit the ground. He should not hold back, there was no need to do that here.
So, he did the deed. His snake body that was over a kilometer long was instantly covered in a Tremor robe as he started rolling, crawling, and dancing around the island. He crushed pirates like ants, and the Tremor Cloak that covered him from head to toe, even making the squashed ones turn into blood-red jelly.
Because when the dragon dances, everything is destroyed.
As Raki's snake body rolled around, his tail wrapped around Bullet's giant body, pulling him to the ground, he 'danced' with her, causing her body to shatter, shatter, shatter, and slowly detach entirely.
In less than 3 minutes, the part of the island where Raki is located is a desert of dust with bloody Bullets that are almost dead lying on the ground, however, the, even she could not last long as Raki continued her Dragon Dance.
This is not a victory, it is a massacre.
It was strangely beautiful at the time.
