Chapter 25 - The owner

The more powerful confrontation directly caused the ground underneath to sank to approximately 17m wide, the wind blew vigoriously to all directions taking up everything in its path and smashing it to different sections of the hall.

Hammer hurriedly backed away and however the way he jumped back seems a little awkward.

The power of his fist is too strong," hammer said solemnly then looked on the his foot which is a little numb, the power behind the fist cause him to feel pain in his leg. So right after the powerful collision with Joshua, he directly backed away wanting to regain his balance.

"Hammer seems a little awkward," Rant stated as he look on the battlefield, a little solemnly, it doen't take rocket science to realize that the power display by Joshua made hammer to be a little numb. Also he was not the only one who saw this but so did the others and due to this there eyes shrank a little.

All this was in Joshua eyes, even though hammer tries to remain calm like nothing happen, Joshua already saw it. So he ran towards hammer instantly not giving him a chance to breath, hammer was in the distance felt the danger coming reacted but it was a little too late. Joshua who has already appeared beside hammer in a low posture directly slashed at his neck.

"Damn!" hammer angrily cursed even though he felt the blade coming towards his neck he couldn't react timely, his center of balance was off which leads him not being able to dodge the attack. The blade reached hammer neck but it wasn't cut off cause in that short spam of time hammer leaned backward which only caused the blade to spilt his draw right down to his mouth.

"Arghh,".. he growled in pain but Joshua could care less about hammer situation as he attacked hammer once more with his leg. The small flickers of black energy was encamped around his leg as he fiercely kicked towards hammer chest. Even though hammer was hurt, it didn't mean he lost all his battle efficiency, he hurriedly crossed in hands in a X format to block the kick.

crickk..

Sounds of bones breaking could be heard as Joshua kick landed on his hands, the air was hit suddenly and a heavy rush of winds blew out fiercely as hammer flew in the distance.

Hurry..... move

Move dammit....

I dont want to die.....

Persons who saw a body flying towards there directions were horrified, but quickly came back to there sense as they hurriedly try to move out of the way in panic. But there are always a few unlucky ghost...

booomm...

Hammer's body was heavily landed in the middle region of the crowd .The force that he hit the ground with caused the floor to crack and sevaral persons were hit in sucession by hammer huge body which led them to there deaths .

I'm saved....

Luck is on my side....

Many persons sighed in relief, thanking god they escape from there alive but immediately felt a chill run there spin when they saw hammer's situation when the smoke dispersed. Right now hammer had his side of his jaw split with continuous blood dripping from it and his left arm had bones sticking out them, making it look deformed. Even though Hammer used is two hands his left hand took most of the damage than the other.

"Bastard," Hammer roared angrily as he shoots out the rumble straight to Joshua with intense killing intent. For the injuries he ignored them and as for the shocked gazes he simply had no time to pay attention to them . All he wanted to do was to hit Joshua to pieces completely forgetting the original purpose. He held the hammer high in the sky and madly it the floor.

booom

The shockwave which was suppose to happen didn't happen but instead was all concentrated to the floor which caused it to ripple. It was like the the earth came alive and waves of continuous floor bed were lifted up in succession then angrily rushed towards Joshua position. Joshua saw the attack coming towards him but calmly slashed in the air.

Death slash

An arc like slash was released from Joshua's blade, the horrible glooomy aura off the black flames directly darkened the vibrancy of the atmosphere and surrounding in the same breath. It shoots straight towards the rolling floor, then directly split the half the speed of the slash caused the winds to blow out violently in all directions.

Hammer who saw the the terrible slash coming towards him expression change he did not dare to resist it, Joshua's horrible flame might is already known in the seas. He hurriedly dodged it which was then smashed into some area of the hall meanwhile hammer was right above Joshua head with round of attack.

The hammer's anger

Hammer roared as the blue light in his eyes flashed then the azure light around the hammer intensified and the might it released was more dreadful. The attack descended but Joshua expression was calm as water, he then flickered from the spot at terrible speed and appeared right above hammer.

"Not good," hammer said when he saw this but it was too late because he coudn't cancel his technique.

Joshua fist which was already coated with black flames slammed down at hammer with incredible speed.

boooom...

Hammer was ruthlessly smashed in the ground, the power behind Joshua's fist caused him to spit blood continuously, the bones in his body were constantly shattered. Joshua's fist power and the attack of hammer that was disrupted directly caused a powerful shockwave to that destroyed that surface up to 25m in diameter. The fierce winds has already spread out destroying everything in its path.

Damn too strong...

Hammer is probably dead..

The surrounding persons hurriedly backed up from the area of the aftermath, that battle really shocked them. When Hammer was smashed in the ground by Joshua they thought it was the end of him.

How can this be...

Rant and the others were the real shocked ones because the falling of Hmmer was too fast even though he is not dead yet. They could still feel his beath rapidly decreasing this made fear and even more shocked of Joshua strength.

For Craig he was alraedy sweating profusing, he had never thought that the situation would be so one sided. He wasn't sure if Joshua heard him cursing him but if he did, he was not sure if he could defeat Joshua.

That time in the midst of everything when everyone thought it was over, an enormous object turned the day around Joshua to night. Joshua who was about to finish Hammer expression changed, he hurriedly backed away from where he was.

booom

The huge object directly hit the ground where Hammer was and a another powerful shockwave sank the earth creating a wider pit range. The direct contact caused the winds to stir once more and which furthered the damage in the hall.

What as that..

I don't know...

Was it Hammer...

Everyone looked towards the figure in a short distance, wanting to figure who just shot at Joshua. Joshua who was a sizable distance away from the person looked on the figure in the smoke and sneered.

"Finally chose to show yourself...."

The smoke was swept away and a figure of around a little over 8ft was shown. His whole body was bloated, the upper half of his body shirtless . His had fat cheeks and due to his pale skin, the burnt red on his face was obviously showing that he was really angry.

Its Mr Biggs, the owner..

I heard he was able to hold off a commodore for a few minutes before fleeing...

his bounty is as high as 70 million bailey....

Everyone was shocked by the appearance of Biggs but quickly calmed down its normally for him to show up. Afterall with the stealing of Joshua and the ruckus that is happening his appearance is expected.

Its seems like Hammer died after that attack...

Chaos might be die the one dead now....

No he probaly might escape...

Everyone voice there opened has they looked on Biggs in fear, for a person who is able to successfully defend and retreat under a commander is not a person of normal power. So for Chaos who has just spent alot fo energy fighting Hammer, might die under Mr Biggs who is at peak state. For Hammer's death even though many were shocked, a new situation has rised which shifted their attention which made them not fully digest what happened.

"Hahaa... it seems like Chaos will still die one way or the other," Craig laughed happily when he so Biggs came. Even if Chaos really do have the power to contend with him for a little while he must escape after a time frame. So there is still hope to buy or probably steal the adam wood.

"Mr Biggs is here it seems we have to leave soon Rant," said solemn, the scale of the next battle will be a bit big. Even though the adams wood is needed, no need to loose your life for it.

Yes Sir...

Mr. Biggs looked coldly at Joshua the anger in his heart is insurmountable. When he heard about whats going on in the hall floor he immediately rushed down and what greeted him was a destroyed place. The hatred in his heart for Joshua destroying his auction house and trying to steal his things is boundless. But he didn't immediately shoot but wanted to sneak attack Joshua to cause a fatal attack. Even though his bounty is higher than Joshua, Joshua's horrible flames made him really solemn so he waited patiently. Even though it still failed it doesn't matter know.

"Humph," Mr. Biggs just coldly snorted and didn't bother to answer Joshua but blasted into his direction. Even though he was big it did not affect his speed which can be seen how he was able to escape a commodore level navy. The right of his immediately turned big as he punched at Joshua with anger in his eyes.

Devil fruit, it like seems like some paramecia type that can enlargen the parts of the body Joshua eys flashed as he greeted the fist with his .

booooom.... and the powerful shockwave signified the start of another battle various kicks, fists skills were displayed which continued to destory the auction hall. Persons who were in there had already fled in panic and those were not able to escape stayed there forever. With that going on the situation at the auction has already spread over the whole island, everyone was shocked by Hammer being killed by Joshua. Even though he did not technically do the finsh blow Joshua had put him a state of half dead and now he is fighting Mr. Biggs , the island was boiling.

While everyone was focusing on the fight , the navy iwas gearing up themselves, wanting to use this opportunity to deal with Joshua.
