Chapter 7 - Massacre...

With the shot fired, nearby villagers were frightened then became anxious wondering if someone they know got shot or is it one if there own.

"Jenny where are you..."

"Albert thank God your alright..."

"Dane get inside now.."

It was not just the that were villagers alarmed but also and patrol teams that were nearby. They quickly went to the direction of the area where they heard the shot triggered off.

"It is an enemy attack."

"Impossible, there is no alarm that went off, to signify that a pirate ship was approaching."

"Even though we are not sure, lets head over there quickly."

"Right, you go back and give a report,"

"How is this possible," the loose uniform recruit exclaimed in fright as he stepped back and fell on the ground.

At that time the faces of the 2 recruits were shocked and there were eyes full of fear and disbelief of what they just wicknessed. What they saw was that, the bullet went straight through the boy's body not harming or damaging him. Not everyone know what is a devil fruit in the 4 seas and because of this they believed the boy must be some kind of monster.

"I dont believe it, The bald guy angrily said . He readied his gun and ruthlessness fired more shots at Joshua.

bam!

bam !

bam!

"How can this be," he trembled as he look at the boy with fear.

"Run, its a monster," he said as he turned around not even caring about his partner who is on the ground.

"When did I say that you can leave," Joshua coldly said.

Then right after that a group of dark, weird, violent flames rushed from under Joshua feet, the surroundings bleaked as it went towards the recruits.

"What th-," the loose man who saw this, face became horrified, he tried to get up but failed and because of this response the black flames drowned him.

"Ahhhh..." he screamed in agony as his body liquidized at terrifying speed flesh, blood internal organs mix together with looked gruesome were seen as he melts away.

"He... hel..p me," he said as he stretched out his hand asking the bald guy for help. With his eyeballs falling fom its sockets ,the skin on his face was already burned away. Now the skeletal frame on his face could be noted and right between his jaw and neck flesh and blood along with pieces of oesauphagus and his tongue dropped out continuously.

When the bald recruit saw this, he was horrified and he started to vomit uncontrollablely but this made him run even faster to the direction of the navy base.

"As long as I reached there and report what happen I'm sure they will get rid of this monster," he said in heart trying to gain some hope. But thats only wishful thinking as the flames caught up to him and burned him repeatedly until he disappeared from the world.

"Time to clean up the rest," Joshua coldly thought as he looked to the left of him where the some soldiers stood with petrified gazes .

At that time in the white and blue striped building, at the very top seated around 9ft middle age man who was currently smoking while looking on some documents. One of is his eyes was missing and he had a terrible scar and his right cheek giving a fierce look. The white jacket which rested on his shoulders had a particular word imprinted on it.

Justice...

At the forefront of his desk, there is name on seen

Navy Commander Joe..

He took a puff from his cigar, then put down the papers and stared at the ceilng. Right that moment a loud knock came from the door disturbing his thoughts which caused him to frown. The person at the door did not wait for a reply but slammed the door open when Joe saw these actions his expression was dark. However, when he was to reprimand the soldier he heard.

"Commander Joe, enemy attack!" the anxious vioce said while stepping into the office which caused his expression to change.

...

"Ahhhhh.... help!"

!I dont want die.... I dont want to die!"

!Someone help me, I'm begging you!"

"Get water quick!"

At time not too close ot the navy base, screams and wailing could be heard, broken bodies where all around burning endlessly, flesh and blood splattered the earth as the the black flames burn uncontrollably. The chaotic thoughts and the heat from the flames caused bodies to drop like flies. Hundreds of navy soldiers have already died and more are still adding to the stack. From time to time, villagers were get caught in the cross fire loosing their lives and even the buildings were showered in black flames. The once peaceful and harmonious place has become chaotic, full of hopelessness and despair. It was a total massacre.

"Damn you bastard," said a navy with bloodshot eyes while he grips on the sword in his hands tightly. As he look at the boy in front of him with hatred if eyes could kill the boy would have died already hundreds of times. This person is of the lieutenant commander when he heard about the situation he rushed down immediately wanting to stabilize the situattion but brought more deaths.

"Why can't I hurt him every time I attack it just pass right through his body." the lieutenant commander thought with a puzzled expression. More and more soldiers die but he is totally helpless if he attacks it just pass right through and attract the flames off his body to his. If not that he ruthlessly cut off his right hand he would be wailing and waiting for death like the others.

"Even so I have to try hold him until the commander gets here," he added as he looked on the boy solemnly .

After cleaning up the the past soldiers, Joshua made his way to the navy branch. Since he already started to kill the navies its better to just completely finish the job, cutting the greass from the roots.

Burn...

He called out has the flame rush to the lieutanant commander causing him to continuously dodge.

"Haaa.. haa...haa" the lieutanant commander panted heavily as he stands weakly watching Joshua full with vigilance. Even though he dodged the attack that doesn't mean others are so lucky has him.

"Ahhhhh!"

"Whats with these flames!"

"Damn it, it hurts so bad!"

"Why won't the flames stop burning!"

The lieutenant commander gritted his teeth as he heard the cries and wailing of his men but he can't do nothing about.

That time Joshua eyes flickered he has spent too much time on these ants time and now its finish things. The aura around him became came a little more fierce and such change caused the lieutenant commander feel a chill down his back. However, more the be could make decision a sword descended upon him from his head.

"Stop!!

Slice..
