"Can I use my powers now?" Noah asked.
Nyx nodded. "Yes, you can."
Noah exhaled, rolling his shoulder. "Good."
He clapped his hands together.
"Abnormal Vector Manipulation—Time Space 🕓."
The shadows split apart.
Reality folded inward and a door tear opened in the air, its edges rippling violently.
Nyx stepped forward without hesitation. "…Impressive."
They stepped through the portal and emerged in the middle of a ruined street.
Explosions echoed nearby. Smoke rolled through the air. Screams rang out from every direction.
Noah looked around slowly. "…It seems Luffy is already fighting Doflamingo."
Nyx scanned the area, eyes sharp. "The Marines are here as well."
Noah sighed and closed his eyes. "Observation Haki."
The world slowed.
Future images flashed:
Steel clashing.
Blood.
A massive figure wearing a dragon mask.
Emma screaming.
Luffy falling.
Doflamingo laughing.
Amy lays lifeless.
Noah's eyes snapped open.
"What did you see?" Nyx asked.
"A man in a dragon mask fighting my crew. And I saw Doflamingo overpowering Luffy."
Nyx's expression darkened. "…A dragon mask."
She turned sharply. "If that vision is accurate, we need to hurry."
"What's the problem?" Noah asked.
Nyx clenched her fist. "Because Chaos does not play with his food."
Noah's blood ran cold. "…Right. I forgot more of your kind are here."
Nyx started moving. "Let's hope we arrive in time."
They ran off.
MEANWHILE — ELSEWHERE
Alice skidded backward, barely blocking with her sword.
BOOM💥
She slammed into a wall🧱.
Stone exploded behind her as her body dented the surface.
Alice coughed violently, blood spilling from her mouth. "Damn it…!"
Chaos stood calmly in the center of the street.
His massive frame radiated heat. Red cracks pulsed along his arms like lava.
"You're tougher than most," Chaos said. "I'll give you that."
Emma leapt forward, sword raised high.
"Sword Clown!"
Chaos smiled.
"You want to join the fun too?"
His arm darkened instantly.
"Advanced Armament."
CLANK. 🗡🤛🏾
Emma's blade slammed into his hand and stopped.
Her eyes 👁 widened.
She pushed harder, Haki 🌀 flaring violently.
Chaos laughed 😂. "Ummm....interesting, you look a lot like a Admiral i know of, by any chance are you related to him."
Emma flinched, she Screamed and released more Haki🌀.
BOOM 💥
Chaos was forced back, flipping through the air before landing on his feet, sliding several meters across the broken street.
"Oh?" Chaos said, amused. "That Haki…"
He looked at her closely.
"It feels just like his."
Emma gripped her sword tighter.
"That Samurai from Wano who became a Gods Knight....Victor D. Paula." Chaos said.
Emma's breathing became heavy.
Chaos laughed, low and cruel.
"You really are his little sister."
"SHUT UP!" Emma screamed.
She vanished⚡️.
Chaos barely had time to react as Emma appeared above him, slashing downward.
The ground split open as her blade missed by inches.
Chaos punched upward.
Emma twisted midair, barely avoiding it, and kicked off a wall, spinning back in with another strike.
Clash.
Clash.
Clash.
Shockwaves tore through nearby buildings.
Chaos blocked each attack with his arms, laughing the entire time.
"Maniac Samurai, who love to spill blood. Who love to battle, Who betrayed as country and clan to join-."
Emma's killing intent exploded outward.
"I SAID SHUT UP!"
Conqueror's Haki 🌀 burst from her body.
The air screamed.
Windows shattered. Rubble lifted from the ground.
Chaos's smile widened.
"There it is."
Chaos stepped forward.
"That madness."
He punched straight through her Conqueror's Haki.
Emma blocked the attack but the impact sent her flying across the street.
She crashed, rolling across stone and debris.
Chaos walked toward her calmly.
"You're strong, for a human."
Emma forced herself up, blood running down her face.
"I'll kill you," she growled.
Chaos stopped a few steps away.
"No.You'll entertain me."
He cracked his neck.
"And I'm only going to use thirty percent of my power to slaughter you and your friends."
Emma's eyes shook.
"…Thirty?"
Chaos smiled wider.
"Any more, and this country won't survive."
He raised his fist.
"Come on, Victor's sister."
Emma raised her sword again, legs trembling.
"I won't fall."
Chaos laughed.
"That's what I love about your family, you guys never back down from a fight."
Chaos vanished.
Emma twisted her body just as a fist tore through the space where her head had been.
BOOM 💥
The punch missed her but the shockwave didn't.
It smashed into her side and sent her spinning through the air.
Emma slammed into the ground, bouncing twice, before skidding across broken stone. Her sword slipped from her grip and clattered away.
She groaned, trying to push herself up.
Chaos appeared above her and brought his heel down.
CRACK 💥
Emma barely rolled aside. The ground where she had been collapsed into a crater.
Chaos straightened and looked at her.
Emma staggered to her feet, blood dripping from her nose and mouth. Her arms shake as she reached for her sword.
She grabs her sword and swings it.
Chaos caught the blade with two fingers.
CLINK.
Chaos twisted his wrist.
The force ripped the sword from Emma hands and sent it spinning away, embedding itself deep into a nearby building.
Chaos leaned in close.
"You're relying too much on rage, that's your family's problem."
He headbutted her.
CRACK 💥
Emma screamed as her vision got blurry.
She flew backward and crashed through the wall 🧱 of a shop.
Inside the ruined building, Emma lay on her back, gasping for air.
Her ears rang and her limbs felt heavy.
Emma tried to move but pain run through her ribs.
"…Damn it…" she whispered.
Chaos stepped through the hole in the wall 🧱.
"You see?" Chaos said. "You're strong. But strength without control is just noise."
Emma coughed, blood running out from the corner of her mouth.
"I don't… need your lecture…" Emma replied.
Chaos smiled.
"Oh, but you do."
He grabbed her by the hair and dragged her upright.
Emma screamed and slammed her elbow into his ribs.
CRACK.
Chaos grunts slightly, then punch her in the stomach.
BOOM 💥
Emma folded instantly, coughing violently as she hurled across the room and slammed into a wall🧱.
She slid down, leaving a trail of blood.
Chaos rolled his shoulder.
"That wasn't even twenty percent."
Emma's hands trembled as she tried to stand again.But legs gave out, she dropped to one knee.
Chaos watched her as she struggled.
"…You're still trying, even now."
Emma forced herself to look up at him.
"I won't… let you capture my captain or my friends …"
Chaos tilted his head.
"The girl with the eyes of a beast? The one who can change anything into a weapon?. I though i had already dealt with them."
Emma's breath hitched.
Chaos smiled wider.
"They're going to die after i kill you. You do know that right?."
Rage glowed in Emma's eyes.
She roared and lunged forward barehanded, fist coated in Armament Haki.
Chaos didn't move or try to block the attack.
Emma punch him in the chest.
CRACK.
Emma screamed as the impact shattered the bones in her hand.
She staggered back, clutching her arm.
Chaos sighed.
"That was stupid."
He backhanded her.
The blow lifted her off the ground and smashed her through the building again, sending her flying back into the street.
Emma rolled across the ground and stopped face-down.
Chaos looked down at her.
"…Still breathing. Good."
He turned away slightly.
"Get up. If you don't."
A weak groan cut through the noise around them.
Chaos paused.
Emma's fingers twitched. She pushed herself up inch by inch.
Her vision blurred, her entire body ached with pain.
Emma slowly stood up, barely staying conscious
Chaos turned around.
"…You really are his blood,"
Emma raised her fists, shaking, blood dripping from her chin.
"I'm still… here…" Emma replied.
Chaos smiled, genuinely pleased.
"Good."
Behind them rubble shifted.
A soft cough echoed.
"…E-Emma…?"
Amy slowly pushed herself up from beneath broken stone, her body bruised and shaking.
Chaos's gaze shifted to her.
His smile widened.
"Oh?"
He turned fully toward the two girls.
"…Looks like the real fight is about to start."
