The Vice Captain of the WhiteBeard Pirates

His tail almost went through my head.

I instantly moved my head sideways to avoid the attack. Kicking the ground, I immediately appeared right in front of him before swinging my arm in an attempt to punch him. 

He swung back his tail, making me have to move to the side to dodge the attack, resulting in me creating a bit of a distance between him and me. 

He didn't stop there; he sent his tail at me again. Leaving me no time but to grab my axe and move out of the way before his tail could reach me. The floor where I had previously been standing was promptly destroyed as the tail continued trying to run me through.

I coated my axe with lightning and Haki before deflecting the tail and sending an axe slash his way. Once again, he used his tail to dodge the attack and immediately launched another barrage of counterattacks with it.

'This is getting annoying; that tail of his is almost like a cheat code.'

For its size, his tail was pretty quick. The strength behind the tail made it hard for me to take it head-on, and the negative aura accompanying it could bypass my Armament Haki and inflict some damage on my axe.

If I wanted to ease the pace of this battle at all, I was going to have to get rid of that damn tail.

I slowly began channeling more lightning around my surroundings as my Conqurer's Haki eliminated the dark aura that was trying to surround me. My two dragon heads immediately emerged from my shoulders as they both charged up another energy blast.

He immediately pulled back his tail before aiming it square on my chest and launching it. Its speed is faster compared to how it normally moves. 

However, I also had a different plan in mind. 

I kicked my feet, faced the pointed tail head-on, and knocked the tail off of its initial target. Resulting in me appearing right in front of him. His eyes widened slightly before he immediately pulled his tail back. However, the tail wasn't going to make it in time before I attacked him.

My axe shined as it was ready to lop his head off. 

Realistically speaking, I knew that it wouldn't be this easy. However, just feeling the sensation of chopping his head off like an animal was going to be more than satisfying for me.

However, things weren't going to work out as I had hoped. He immediately began to transform back into the devil, his Conqueror's Haki and dark aura exploding and engulfing the entire room along with me.

I was sent flying backward, but I immediately landed my feet on the wall as I stood horizontally from the ground. I immediately bent my knees and launched myself from the wall right at him again.

His enlarged form looked down on me as he raised his arm in an attempt to squash me like a bug. I had to use Soru to increase the speed to avoid his hand. I managed to get right close to his face before his hand slammed against the ground. His soulless eyes bore into mine as I channeled a huge amount of Conqurer's Haki into my axe.

"Endens Lyn!!" 

With a ferocious swipe of my axe, I managed to land a critical hit right at his face. However, even that attack came at a cost. I felt something run through my gut almost immediately after I landed that hit on him. It had somehow managed to avoid my spine, but either way, my stomach was skewered as it came right out on the other side.

An explosion immediately followed, pushing him away from me a bit, but because his tail was still embedded through me. I ended up following him involuntarily, and we both ended up crashing through the throne room's walls. 

We ended up breaking through the corridor that led to the throne room. I immediately got that tail out of my body and started to isolate the injury. This bastard had the ability to corrode whatever wounds he inflicted on me.

Looking at him, there weren't any signs of him being injured. As a matter of fact, he had already begun getting up from the ground as soon as we landed on the ground. Normal means weren't going to faze him; I needed to up the scales even more.

Channeling more Haki and lightning around my body, I slowly began to grow three tails behind me as scales slowly mended with my skin. As I stared directly into his eyes, the two draconic heads grew from my spine.

He continued staring at me with his soulless eyes; however, his dark aura and Conqurer's Haki told me that he was just as ready for another bout of fighting as I was. 

I immediately lunged at him with renewed strength, and he immediately balled his gigantic hands into fists as he began punching at me. He kept his tail close to him, probably waiting for an opportunity to run me through again. 

I used Soru to appear right on top of him and land another blow on top of his head. His head ended up sinking right into the ground. His head didn't even stay in the ground long enough for me to follow through with another attack because he immediately broke out from the ground and swatted me with his tail like a fly. 

I went through a couple of more walls before forcefully stopping myself mid-flight and launching myself right at him. As a result, I ended up destroying more walls. Each clash shook our entire surroundings as I kept bashing him with my axe. The lightning I would produce would offset some of the dark aurae he had been emanating, but then again, it still wasn't enough for him to take damage. 

I realized that if I wanted to win this fight, I would have to wear him down until he couldn't use that dark aura.

Or at least that was what the idea was supposed to be.

I had yet to determine whether or not he was using his awakened form. For all I knew, this could have well been his hybrid form, and he only reserved the awakened form when he reached his limits. Taking him down in an instant wasn't going to be an ideal scenario here. The best I could have done was to draw him out and face what would soon come.

I dodged another hand swat he had tried to go for before deflecting another attack from his tail. That damned tail kept getting in my way whenever I was about to attack him; it was time to get rid of that thing.

'If force isn't working....I'm just not using enough of it then.'

I ducked as I dodged another attack from him and used Soru to appear right behind the man. I had channeled a large amount of Haki and lightning to the axe's blade as I raised it to chop that tail off.

He seemed to have noticed what I was planning and was already starting to twist his body so that he could avoid the strike. However, I had already brought down the axe.

"Endens Lyn!!!!!"
