Chapter 37 - Old dog and new tricks

Sizing up their opponents Bellamy and Lami made their decisions about who they wanted to fight. Several government agents and marines were showered all over the island, screaming and shouting about pirates as the straw hats arrived and wrecked havoc.

Bellamy decided to forgo stealth and just find what he wanted. The tower of enies lobby should be filled with intel and arms, maybe more devil fruits? Not to mention it should contain an updated information network that the marines updated since their last encounter.

Bellamy turned to his navigator "you take Hacker and then search for any useful data. Your brother has a bounty of 200 million so he should be on record for constant monitoring."

Lami nodded, this was very important to her as she wanted to find her brother since the fall of Flevance. She also was curious about those tattoos and if he ever washed the hat their parents left him. Lami took off towards the tower with her swords drawn ready to chop people down. She didn't transform as of yet as she decided to leave that as a trump card.

Bellamy decided that he was going to rush after Shifu. Bellamys legs began to transform and compress before he launched himself directly towards the tower.

Atop the tower of justice an old man with a jade yin yang staff raised his eyebrows as he felt an enormous presence enter his range. "Hmm a big fish has shown up. A yonko commander? Probably here for Nico Robin. Sigh~ only hacker would survive a confrontation amongst this group. Guess I'll have to sort it out".

The small old man then got up from his chair and began to make his way towards the door. In the desk at the centre of the room a purple haired gangly man wearing a leather face covering noticed before he screeched "Old man where are you heading off to without permission?!?"

Shifu rolled his eyes at this brats attempts to display dominance. Spandine was just as much a pain in his back. Killing him would bring the old man a lot of satisfaction, their entire family are government fuckups.

Instead of berating the boy he slowly turned and said "hohoho don't mind me, just heading to the bathroom. Old age and all that."

Spandam showed a disgusted expression as he thought about him using the lavatories. "Fine! Make it quick!" Spandam demanded not noticing the other cypher pole agents sweating. Who the hell talks to the master like that they all thought internally. Did he not just smack the shit out of Lucci and Jabra earlier. Why provoke him?

Shifu continued on his way leaving the others to their fates. Hacker left the room silently as he felt that he may get to draw blood soon. Shifu slowly made his way down the stair case towards the elevator.

He used his staff to punch in the ground floor and waited for it to reach the destination. He tapped his staff to the ground matching the elevator music playing in the background. When the door opened he saw several hundred men dressed in suits. One turned to him "Master Shifu! It's an honour to-".

*bawannnnshhhhhhhh* a familiar wave passed over the people in the room. All of the young men and women collapsed onto the ground unconscious with a *thunk*. Shifu looked down the hall assessing the intruder.

That feeling was definitely the conqueror haki Shifu pondered. So it's either a yonko commander or a new world level pirate captain. Seeing as the hallway isn't creaking from weight it isn't a member of big moms or kaido's crew. Did shanks send someone? Shifu continued to process until he heard the clinking of boots.

An admiral level height, blonde hair, dark blue vest, haki, strong physique, savage smile. That's Satan Bellamy, 3.5 billion in bounty and a grand child of vice admiral tsuru. I'm most likely going to die here then. Shifu calmly concluded as he walked towards Bellamy. As an old government employee he's rather familiar with the bounty strength equivalency. So yonko level strength and an intricate knowledge of the rokushiki means the Shifu won't last long against this opponent.

Shifu spun his staff in his fingers before flicking it into the air. His body began to swell and reach upto 11 feet in height. The black fur normally present on a panda had greyed displaying Shifu's advanced age. Bellamy notes that he has a similar appearance to the pokemon Pangoro.

Shifu then caught his jade staff which is now resembling a jade twig in his massive hands. He placed the jade staff in his teeth and held it like it was a blade of grass.

Shifu didn't speak as he drew his finger back, Bellamy observed the grey hairs blacken the shade of armament haki. {clawed shigan} Shifu said quietly as he drove his elbow launched forward. A dark blue projectile left his finger and cascaded down the hallway towards Bellamy.

This was a haki enforced variant of shigan, using it in his zoan form most likely amplified the piercing power Bellamy analysed as he blackened his fist and back handed the projectile into a wall destroying it.

Bellamy smirked as he kicked out launching a black tempest kick showing his own haki and rokushiki mastery. The large blade glided towards Shifu who assumed an open palmed stance.

Bellamy couldn't believe it when Shifu grasped the wind blade and began to spin with it. {yin yang diffusal} Shifu called out as the wind blade was compressed and merged into his spinning form. This is some kung fu panda bullshit Bellamy thought as Shifu stopped and launched his own attack back at him.

Back at the top of enies Lobby the plot of the straw hats followed canon with luffy declaring war. Before franky could escape and begin his rant the entire tower rumbled. Spandam looked down before turning to his agents to complain "what the hell was that?!?! Where is Shifu and hacker?!"

Kaku touched the brim of his hat "that was probably one of them engaging an enemy." Which made Spandam actually begin to panic. Who the hell could make an entire tower rumble like that?!? He screamed to them only to be met with silence as Franky farted and launched himself to safety.
