Clash!
Clash!
Clash!
The sky above Dressrosa cracked like glass with every impact.
Water and light twisted together beautiful and yet deadly.
Ocea hovered high above, her trident glowing.
She points her trident at Noah.
Hundreds of water blasts, each one laced with blinding light, shot forward at once.
Noah reacted instantly, he dropped low.
Flying just above the ground.
A blast hit where he was a second ago.
BOOM!
Buildings collapsed behind him as he sped forward.
Another blast curved around a building.
He tilted his body sideways, barely dodging the attack.
Another came from above, he dipped lower, almost scraping his knees on the ground.
"Too many…" he muttered.
He shot straight through a building.
The attacks crash into the walls.
BOOM!
Dust exploded around him as he burst out the other side of the building.
More attacks followed closely behind.
Noah landed on top of a roof, then suddenly the roof cracked under his feet.
Noah jumped just in time and landed on another building.
"Is that all?" Noah said, trying to catch his breath.
A blast exploded behind him.
"Come on… come on…" Noah muttered.
A beam grazed his arm.
"Dammit…" he muttered.
Noah spins around as blasts of water rush toward him.
"Vector Manipulation—Absolute Reflection."
Some attacks bounce off him and fly back at Ocea.
She lets out a soft breath.
BOOM!
The blasts explode before they could reach her.
Noah shot upward back into the sky.
The attacks surrounded him from every direction.
Noah's eyes narrowed. He unsheathes his sword and swings.
SLASH!
His strike cut through multiple blasts at once. They split apart and exploded into mist.
SLASH!
SLASH!
Ocea watched, smiling.
"Is that all you can do?" she asked, with a taunting voice. "Noah is running… all you can do?"
He vanished and reappeared right in front of her.
He swings his blade down at her.
CLANG!
Ocea blocked it with her trident.
The impact pushed both of them back slightly.
"You're getting desperate," she said.
Noah stared at her and sighed.
He hovered away, putting distance between them.
The he clap his hands together.
"Abnormal Vector Manipulation"
"Deep Forest Birth."
The ground below exploded. Massive trees burst out from everywhere.
They tore through everything.
In seconds, they reached the clouds and
Dressrosa was now covered in a forest of giant trees.
Nyx stood far from them, holding the island from sinking with invisible force.
Ocea looked around slowly. Then laughed.
"What can trees do?"
Noah exhaled.
"Abnormal Vector Manipulation"
"Poison Forest."
Large petals opened from the tree trunks and a thick pollen spread into the air.
"So you made them bloom… what now?" Ocea asked, unimpressed.
Noah coughed then pointed at her hand.
Ocea looked down.
Her skin begun to rotten, the pollen spread fast, eating away her flesh.
Her trident started to rust.
"What the hell…" she muttered.
Then she laughed. Immediately her Haki surged out of her body.
The poison disappeared instantly and her skin returned to normal.
"You almost had me," she said.
[Noah's Thoughts]
Dammit…
I only have a few minutes left…
I need to end this...
But she's too strong...
I only have that move left…
After that… I'm done...
"Thinking about running away?" Ocea asked, yawning.
Noah lowered his head, his eyes glowed.
"Mirror Haki"
Noah's body shifted and his hair turned red, flowing wildly like fire.
His clothes turned deep crimson, rippling with strange energy.
His aura warped reality itself. The ground bent and tge sky stretched.
Everything around them turned into something unreal, like a cartoon.
The entire island of Dressrosa transformed into something absurd.
rubber like...elastic.
WRONG.
Noah grinned Widened unnatural.
Noah laughed.
"NIKKO."
Ocea's grin faded fast.
"This power…" she whispered.
"It resembles that of Nika… I still have no idea how you obtained such ancient power."
"Noah…" Nyx whispered. "Your Haki… it feels like Joyboy… and that witch at the same time…"
Noah laughter echoed throughout the island.
"From what I was told…" he said, rolling his shoulders, "I have an angel fruit. Not sure which one… maybe I forgot."
He looked at Ocea.
"But it doesn't matter..You're dying today."
"Angel Fruit…" Ocea repeated softly. "I see… one of the four."
Her eyes sharpened.
"And judging by your Haki…"
She smiled.
"You might have the Fruit Of All Fiction."
"The power to make anything you wish reality… the power to rewrite what is and change was."
Noah paused just for a second.
"But it seems…you haven't awakened it." Ocea said amused.
Her voice dropped immediately.
"And you won't, because you'll die here."
She tilted her head.
"Or better yet… I'll break you… and keep you forever."
She vanished and appeared right in front of him.
Noah blinked and use Observation Haki. He tilted his head barely dodging her strike.
He countered her attack instantly.
Ocea blocked then teleported again.right in front of him.
She headbutt him.
Noah's eyes widened as he was sent crashing down.
He slammed into the ground, the earth bouncing like rubber before cracking anyway.
He coughed.Then laughed.
"Okay… okay…"
Ocea dropped down slowly.
"Still smiling?"
Noah rolled his shoulders then pulled his arm back.
"Let's end this."
He attacked. His punches stretched and curved.
Ocea blocked several hits and dodged the others but one attack hit pushing her back.
Noah grabbed the ground and stretched it.
Then launched it at her.
She cut through it instantly.
Noah appeared above her and slam his head down.
She blocked it but the force pushed her back.
They clashed.
Clash!
⚡️⚡️⚡️
Clash!
💥💥💥
Clash!
🌀⚡️💥
Each attack louder than the last. Each impact bending reality.
Ocea grinned.
"You're fun."
Noah's smile faded slightly.
" I'm not done yet."
He pulled the air itself and warped it. Then slammed it forward.
A shockwave exploded.
Ocea took it head on sliding back.
Ocea smiled.
"You're actually overpowering me."
Noah attacked again, faster than before. The attack hit Ocea in the stomach.
Ocea clash into a building.
She coughed up some blood. She wipes it away with her hand then she looked at it confused.
"…How can I lose to a human…"
Noah stood across from her breathing hard.
His body shaking slightly.
Ocea Haki surged.
[Noah's Thoughts]
Her Haki it feels dark and ancient.
Ocea voice echoed like multiple voices layered together.
"Devil Fruit Awakening-Awaken"
"Second Stage-Primordial."
Her body changed in an instant.
Three faces appeared...one facing forward, one to the left, one to the right. Each with a different facial expression.
Twelve arms stretched out from her sides, moving slowly. A long tail then formed behind her, swaying through the air.
Below them, the ocean began to rise.
Waves crashed and twisted as the sea exploded.Dressrosa started to sink much faster than before.
Even with Nyx holding it, it wasn't enough.
Across the island, people dropped unconscious. Some grabbed their heads, others couldn't even scream. The pressure was too much.
[In the sky]
Noah started to coughed up blood rapidly like before.
His body shook as he grabbed his chest.
"Dammit…" he muttered under his breath, voice weak.
"This is what I hate about this technique… it lets me mirror someone's haki—even their Devil Fruit power.
But the drawbacks… they're brutal.
And so far… I've only managed to copy his haki and devil fruit ability."
Noah forced out another breath.
"My time is up…"
The red glow around him flickered… then faded.
The power that once burned around his body disappeared.
Noah fall to the ground. He slowly forces himself to stand up.
Ocea watched him.
Then she slowly raised one of her arms.
Water gathered above her palm, spinning, tightening until it formed into a sharp spear. It shimmered, coated in advanced Haki, the air around it shaking from the force.
She throw it at a very fast speed.
Noah tried to move but his body didn't listen.
His vision blurred again. His legs felt heavy. Nothing responded.
He couldn't dodge.
Suddenly.
A blur shot in front of him.
Emma planted herself between Noah and the attack, arms raised just as the spear hit.
The impact exploded through the air.
The force drove her back instantly, she skids hard across the ground below as she fight to deflect the attack.
The ground cracked under her. Emma grit her teeth as she push back the attack.
Boom!
Emma stopped the attack Barely.
"Noah…!" she shouted, her voice strained.
In the distance above, Ocea watched it all.
And smiled.
