Darkness enveloped Tim Tim. He drew the cursed blade, a wave of bloodlust clashing and severely damaging Diaman's will. Tim Tim slashed the air, sending a sharp wave of darkness towards Diaman. He couldn't evade in time and consequently, watched his arm slowly disintegrate from existence.
"H-how do you know about Genuichiro?" Diaman trembled.
"Gen-uichi-ro? Is-that-me? Wait! You-killed-my-fam-ily! You-took-every-thing-away-from-me. Die-for-your-sins!" Tim Tim screamed, conflicted between two minds.
"I-I'm sorry. It was j-just an order. Please! I-I was forced to kill t-them!" Diaman cowered in fear.
"LIES!" Tim Tim screamed again, charging at the kneeling Diaman.
Before Tim Tim could execute him on the spot, Diaman parried the attack. He then went to punch Tim Tim with his other hand but forgot that his arm had just disappeared. In response to his surprise, Tim Tim, slashed upwards, slicing Diaman's chest badly. Blood was covering the huge man's body. Fear consumed Diaman as he realized he wasn't winning this battle.
Diaman charged recklessly and Tim Tim sidestepped and stabbed him from behind. Darkness enveloped the blade again. Diaman backhanded Tim Tim, resulting in the blade being ripped across his back. A large explosion of dark energy appeared, obscuring Barbosa, Whatz D Face and Eichar's view, who had all, understandably, been watching in the hallway rather than stay in the room.
Light eventually pierced the darkness, illuminating Tim Tim, who was repeatedly stabbing at the remains of Diaman, scattered across the floor. Each stab infused with limitless rage. Each stab, not satisfying the cursed blade. It's thirst for blood was much more than Whatz D Face anticipated. A giant grin formed on Tim Tim's face. He stabbed again and again.
Whatz D Face approached Tim Tim slowly.
"Little gentleman. That's enough he's dead. Control the sword, don't let it control you." Whatz D Face said gently.
Tim Tim looked up, his eyes black, but tears fell. They weren't the tears of Tim Tim, though.
"Why-won't-pain-go-away? Why-won't-fam-ily-come-back? Bad-guy-dead. Please-come-back. Have-I-not-killed-enough..." Tim Tim collapsed.
Barbosa went to check on Tim Tim. Darkness seemed to evaporate from Tim Tim's body as Barbosa sheathed Zendu. Other than a traumatic experience though, Tim Tim was in good shape, except when Barbosa looked closer, there were many tiny cuts on his body.
Eichar, the mayor, tried sneaking off but Whatz D Face dragged the snivelling coward back.
"Cough up the loot and information, disgusting cockroach." Whatz D Face demanded.
"Screw off. When Kozo comes back, he will hunt you to the ends of the earth for killing his first mate." Eichar said.
"Funnily enough, we're looking for Kozo. And by we, I mean the Vaeg pirates of course." Whatz D Face replied.
"A little cocky, aren't you? Just because you got bounties doesn't mean you're big shots. Kozo will wipe the floor with your tiny group."
"Stop wasting time and tell me where the treasure is stored. I will slit your throat without hesitation maggot, just like what you did to your family if you don't."
"Fine. There's a bunch in the garden. Fifth row of trees. There's also a Grand Line map in the desk over there. Can I go now?"
"Oh, you must've misunderstood me. I won't slit your throat now, but I didn't mention letting you free. In fact, I'm kinda hungry, so thanks for volunteering."
"You bastard! That gentleman attitude was fake. Do you just discriminate like everyone else does?"
"No. I just don't think you deserve to be called a gentleman after the horrific unspeakable things you've done. Now shut up as I feast upon you."
Whatz D Face tore into Eichar's neck viciously. He drained most of Eichar's blood but left him barely alive. Then after feasting, Whatz D Face began clumsily castrating him. Once he was done, Whatz D Face left him to die and went over to the desk to collect the map. The rest of the crew arrived.
"What the fuck did you guys do in here?" Nargo said, surprised at how much blood had stained the walls and floors.
"Better question: Is Tim Tim alright?" Jimmy rushed over to Tim Tim.
"We've got to get out of here guys!" Sam said, huffing from running up the stairs.
"Why, what's up?" Belsari asked, starting up Kotohi.
"Marines have started invading the island and Kozo has also returned. It's literally turning into a war out there." Sam said.
An explosion sounded in the distance. The crew looked outside and saw hundreds of people battling in the ruined streets of Omugana. A large giant, at least eighty feet tall, was battling an average height individual, who seemed to be holding his own against the giant.
"My gentlemen and gentlelady, there is treasure in the garden and a river leading to the docks where we presume the ship is. Let's dig it and head straight to the ship to strategize." Whatz D Face suggested.
Ronin bounded up the stairs and noticed Tim Tim on the ground. Panicked, Ronin sprinted straight towards him and curled round him to protect him.
"Ronin, he'll be fine. He's sustained no fatal injuries. He's just exhausted. Let's go into the garden." Jimmy gently petted Ronin.
Ronin acknowledged Jimmy's words and grabbed Tim Tim. He raced off to the garden.
"What about the half dead man that seems to be castrated?" Jimmy inquired.
"Piece of crap called a mayor. Watched his family die and got a kick out of it. So I demonstrated some pain for him. Also, that dismembered person, was the first mate. Luckily, his head is still intact." Whatz D Face explained.
"Ok, Belsari we're going to head to the garden. Burn this place to the ground. Once you're do-"
Belsari accidentally started setting everything alight before Jimmy could finish his sentence. The crew rushed out of the building, Belsari's cackle echoing throughout the mansion. The crew arrived in the garden, which was unfortunately, large enough for two mansions side by side. Ronin had set Tim Tim by a tree whilst he enthusiastically dug for treasure.
The crew helped out and were greatly rewarded for their efforts. After about ten minutes they had uncovered everyone's weight in gold, tripled.
Tim Tim woke up in a cold sweat. But everything was dark and hazy.
"So you're the boy that has chosen me." An old pained voice said behind him.
Tim Tim turned around to see an old man, hammering away at the forge.
"You're not as spineless as the other two that have wielded me."
"W-who are you Mister?" Tim Tim asked.
"You know who I am, little boy."
"Genuichiro Zendu?"
"Not quite. That part of me is gone. All that is left was rage, sadness and loneliness. So I've lost that name, my name is just Zendu."
"What does Zendu mean?"
"It doesn't matter anymore. I'm only a sword, there's no other purpose for me other than to create violence. Now answer this: Why do you wish to fight?"
"I'm fighting for change. I wish for nature and people to coexist peacefully."
"What a foolish dream. You're weak-willed and not worthy of using me."
"Who gets to decide who's worthy? I've been through a lot to get to this point in time. I've been betrayed, abandoned and abused but I carried on. I understand your pain but you left your son for what? So you could fulfil some revenge? Or maybe, you just only cared about yourself."
"How dare you! You know what happened. I lost everything apart from one of my sons. I taught him all I knew. Maybe one day you'll understand what that's like. To have your own family, then to have it ripped away because that bastard Kozo decided he didn't like my new life."
"Like I said, I understand your pain Mister Zendu. My island was slaughtered by marines in cold blood. Why won't you just accept me and let me help you?"
"Because our ideals are different. You are for peace and all I want is the death and destruction of my old crew."
"What will you do after that? Your soul will forever be encased in this sword. Never achieving peace of mind!"
"I will act as a sword should."
"Surely you were meant for more."
"Leave this place before I slit your throat and wait for the next fool that buys me."
"I refuse. Mainly because I don't know how to leave but I refuse nonetheless."
"There should be a door to the right of you."
"Thanks Mister Zendu. Anyways, where were we?"
"We were talking about ideals."
"Oh right. Before I go, I beg of you to allow me to prove myself."
"Fine. There will be an enemy that uses two swords that will soon fight you. Beat him and I will reconsider whether you are worthy of wielding me."
"I will be the master of this sword."
"Determination means nothing if you can't back those words."
Tim Tim awoke from his slumber and saw the crew hard at work digging.
"What are you guys doing?" Tim Tim asked, wiping his eyes.
"What does it look like, sleeping beauty? We're digging for treasure." Nargo replied.
Suddenly, Belsari cannonballed out of a window, flames narrowly missing her. She sprinted over to the crew and dropped the first mate's head down.
"You guys left the dude with a bounty. Luckily, I bagged it up and brought it out with me."
"We didn't grab it, because your crazy ass started burning the building down before we'd started leaving." Jimmy shouted angrily.
"I'm sorry. I get excited about burning things."
"We fucking know." Nargo said.
After they'd collected as much treasure as possible they slowly moved towards the river. It was a very slow river so it wouldn't be hard to travel through it, if they didn't have devil fruit users with them. They hatched a plan to attach everyone to Ronin. Nargo would use his powers to transport the gold. The trip would have to be made twice to both get everyone over and get all the gold. Tim Tim, Jimmy, Nargo and Sam went first.
The dock was massively covered in moss and clearly hadn't been used in a while. The Crimson Spear sat proudly on the docks. As the crew unloaded the cargo they had, Jenkins greeted them with a pale face.
"What the fuck did Vaeg do this time?" Nargo joked.
"L-Leroy is gone. He charged off into the battle." Jenkins stammered.
"HE DID WHAT?!" Everyone shouted in disbelief.
