Chapter 8: White Beard & Big Mom
After a couple of more minutes of intense staring. It turns out that Big Mom wanted to make the first move. The cap she was wearing suddenly floated before turning into a saber. She grabbed the handle before lunging at me, "Let's see what you're made of brat!" Big Mom yelled as her sword aimed for my head. I was still frozen in place, still trying to figure out why the Rocks Pirates were still in the first half of the grandline. Her movements, however, were kind of slow considering my expectations. I mean we were talking about the Big Mom, the literal human baloon.
I managed to snap out of my star-struck stupor before my head was cracked open like a watermelon and duck right under her swing before punching her in the gut. The punch didn't do much other than send her back a couple of meters. She looked at me impassively, as if that blow didn't do so much as faze her. Well, it wasn't supposed to because I hadn't put lethal strength into it. However that punch was more than enough to incapacitate some giant sea monster that somehow landed ashore. "Gurararararara!!! Brat, is this all that you are capable of?" Whitebeard's voice permeated throughout the island.
I remained expressionless, I continued my fight with Big Mom her swings were slowly becoming more lethal after every swing she made. I kept dodging and counterattacking, not with the intent to kill; but rather with the intent of self-defense. Why, you may ask? Simple! If two head captains were on the Saber of Xebec sailing around. It meant that their captain wasn't far off. Not that I had the confidence of putting Whitebeard and Bigmom down, but Rocks D. Xebec's appearance would change the situation from devastating to absolutely cataclysmic. I refused to let things come to that, not much was known about him except for the fact that he died during the battle of God's Valley. The fact that it took both pirates and marines to put him down was nothing short of a red flag parade in my head.
"Don't get so distracted brat! You're fighting me!!" Charolette Linlin gave me a beautiful smile before she swung her blade at me with vicous killing intent. My eyes widened and my head ducked as I snapped out once again, from my self-contemplation. I briefly decided to end this quickly so I can fly away as fast as possible. Only to remember that bastard Shiki, also known as the Golden Lion, was also a member of the Rocks Pirates. 'What do I do? What do I DO?! FUCK!' my leg instantly got covered in black as black lightning with a silver outline surged from my body.
Instead of letting Bigmom take the intitiative again, I lunged at her with full force. Reaching to exactly where she was almost instantly, her eyes widened as she saw me twist my hipsand extended my leg for a roundhouse kick. She coated her arms in haki in an attempt to block the kick, didn't change much considering the fact that I sent her flying. She flew through a bunch of trees before landing on her back. She had light injuries, but not enough to knock the woman out unconcious. I stared at the man with a white crescent upward-shaped mustache with a cautionary glint. "Who...are you?" I asked slowly, I had to pretend that I didn't know them because if they were to find out that this island was empty. They would bombard me with a bunch of questions that I'd be too lazy to respond.
Whitebeard twirled his naginata before slamming its butt on the ground again. "Gurararara!! My name isn't important brat! It's my turn to play with you!" Whitebeared boomed before lunging at me. I had my guard up as he lunged at me, he swung his naginata at me and right as his blade made contact with my neck. I raised my haki-coated forearms to block the attack, not only his strength; but his haki as well was incredously stronger than mine. Our collision shook the entire island as we pushed each other in a battle of strength. "Not....fair....you...have...a weapon." I growled involuntarily while looking at the man who would be known as the strongest man in the world. "Gurarararara!! I am a pirate! Since when did I play by the rules?!?!" he snapped back at me as he backed off. Suddenly he raised his arm and a white light glowed from his fist. My ever-so-indifferent expression grew a little solemn as I looked at his fist.
'Isn't he overdoing it?!?!' I thought to myself as I readied myself for a devastating blow. Just as he was about to attack, I heard Linlin's laughter in the background. "Mama~Mama!! Did you boys forget about me?!?!?" She jumped of the cloud she was on as she also raised her saber covered in haki. 'No way am I about to get into a three way collision..' I thought to myself in disbelief as I saw whitebeard ignore her and charge at me. I'm getting pissed off at this point, what exactly did I do to yall that earned a double team of this caliber? I haven't even showed you my devil fruit and y'all are ganging up on me like I'm your captain or something; TF?! My eyes glowed yellow as I took in a deep breath, I could feel the two heads on my two shoulders reveal themselves and copy exactly what I was doing. 'Want to blow shit up? Fine LET'S BLOW SHIT UP THEN' I thought angrily as I released all the energy I had kept charging into my mouth in one singular blow uniformly with the other two heads.
