'Observation haki..."
Joshua face slightly flashed with a colour of suprise, he can feel the immense spirtual power in and around him. The movements round about him has become so vivid and clear, that he can pick of any sudden presence of any being.
His mouth slightly hook, this is expected being under the overbearing pressure of Strawberry a immediate force was constantly being shattered and opened. Even though he has trained repeatedly over the past times, he couldn't unlock any of the mysterious force called haki but now its differeny.
Even though, observation haki seems to normally be learn't by being attacked while blindfolded but Joshua case is different, he was able to learn it under such tense situation.
"How is this possible.."
Strawberry said in shock, what did he just wickness, a West sea pirate has grasped one of the 3 haki that would expected to be in the grandline and the new world. There was no need to doubt it, if Joshua really had known observation haki from when the fight took place to Strawberry would have realized it.
There is only one possible answer, he has just learn't it.
Haven't entered the great route, not have been baptized by it brutalness and cruelity of such place, haven't experienced the horror of the place known as Pirates graveyard.
But you have already grasped one of the 3 haki's.
A dangerous look flashed on Strawberry's face in addition to a shocked face, his expression was also ugly. How can he not realize, that it was under his supression that simulated Joshua's potential.
"No he must die," Strawberry supressed his ugly and shocked face, then striked immediately. But there was Joshua at his side already in a low posture slashing at his waist. The dreadful latent heat showerd on Strawberry causing his expression to solidify, he immediately parried the attack with his thick coated blades.
This...
Strawberry eyes widen in suprise again, his armered katanans were being burnt by the black flames. How can this be.. It might be slow, but was noticeable but he had no time to think as Joshua has cast another attack down him from behind.
He rotated his feet in the air, flipped forward, and parried the attack of Joshua with his coated leg. Joshua then backed away then slashed across the sky, creating a double X flame slash that dulled the surrounding area as it travelled along the air. Strawberry saw the attack coming, slammed his blades along the air creating several wind blade that camflouged with the environment.
The wind blades were dissolved as it sliced the flames apart into sections which was later scattered everywhere in th sky. Joshua moved towards Strawberry position at a fast speed and cut the flame sword directly at his face, Strawberry whose face has appeared numerous beads of sweat stepped back almost instantly to avoid direct contact with the blade.
As if Joshua has seen strawberry movements already, he instanteanous appeared at the right back side of him an greeted him with another round of attack. Strawberry eyes flashed with a long white light as he drew the katana to his right side cutting the instantly appeared Joshua . But his eyes shrank as he saw that only a wisp of black shadow was there.
The the figure appeared again it was high above and the dark shadow eyes was cold as he looked on him. He immediately smashed both blades upwards after sensing the chilling and shrap aura, a flickers of pink left residual image was left in the air as he it swept along the atmosphere .
boomm..
The shockwave bunped into the air as the 3 dark lusters of black clashed, many flashes of clear, pink and black energies rushed out in the sky causing the winds to blow violently in the surroundings.
"Damn," Strawberry angrily said as he navy coat is continuously being blown by the collision of harsh winds. With Joshua unlocking observation haki, trying to predict his movement has become strenous and what he has to now relay on is his good level of armament haki.
Both backed away almost simultaneously, Strawberry crossed his blades and a vibrant layer of pink appeared on his katanas. His whole flustered as his aura became more unrestrained, a haze of light flicker through his eyes as he slashed out.
"Inverted arc..."
Two pink inverted cuts moved from his sounds as it ran along the sky. The two flashes of pink moved oddly, as it transformed into a rotated arc which released horror breath as it passes through the air..
"Distorted fist.."
Joshua punched out as he saw Strawberry strong decisive move, layer of black flames continue to nourish the sky which its terrifying heat. As it moves the huge compast fist thurned into several deformed circles until it meet the opponenet skill.
Boommm....
Another explosion occured with the colliosions of attacks, the ocean water galloped as it sprand into the air after receiving the immediate bump of power. Repeated blowing of winds continue to burst through he air as this happens. Not waiting on the aftermath to happen, Joshua rushed through the explosion as he elementalise is body he swang back is sword then moved it forward at the scene enemy, Strawberry also swang his blade to is right then cut across Joshua's body.
"What has he gone-.."
Strawberry furrowed is eye brow as he looked on the evaported Joshua, no matter how he spreads his observation haki he can't find Joshua's body or presence at all.
"Disappeared.."He thought.
"No.." then Strawberry expression changed when he looked towards a certain area in the sky where a black spot is running towards the navy ships.
"Bastard," Strawberry gnashed as teeth as he immediately shoot off. He has always though it was weird when Joshua elementalised his body and he knows that his armament haki can restricted him. When he realized the little trick Joshua played on him he couldn't hep but be angry, there was no second guesses on what Joshua wanted to do.
....
There navy ships in a distance the soldiers did what they had to do with a worry free expressions, with Strawberry a candidate vide admiral here , the pirate should fall in due time and justice will once again reign.
"Sir, Cancer your injures are quite serious please take it easy," the assiatant commodore said as he looked on the figure who wanted to move. Cancer who was bandaged up stopped and slowly sat back down in a struggling way.
"Isn't the pirate died yet," he asked in a low voice. But no answer came from the commodore which him made frown, " hasn't the pirate being dealt with."
"How can he be here," the assitant commodore who was about to take up some additional medical supplies said in shock.
"How can who be here," Cancer with a puzzled face asked when he looked on the turned is head in the way the shock commodore was looking his somewhat calm state was instantly blasted out with anger.
"Chaos!"
There in the sky Joshua looked down on the two ships more specifically the ship Cancer was on with a cold expression. Now he has grasped observation haki and is not under the supression of Strawberry. Its time to finish where he was disrupted.
He condensed a few metre long sword with is black flame, the horror and might distorted the atmosphere as it came into being. The choatic and negative thoughts dispersed in the air causing the surroundings to come dark, the huge flaming sword hovered over Joshua as it darkened the area Cancer was on.
"Isn't he fighting Sir Strawberry..."
"How can he appear here."
"Thats does not matter now, ready the cannons.."
Like the commodore everyone was shocked and horrified when they saw the figure in a dark cloak standing in the sky looking on them with calm gaze. Seeing the huge blade levtating in the sky, noone thought Joshua was simply coming here to greet and have a nice chat.
boom...
boom...
Continuous rounds of cannons were shot at Joshua but as before it was useless.
"Blade of death."
Joshua dropped the flame blade calmly ignoring the navies useless attempts. The dreadful descending t a terrifying speed, the water below boiled as the temperature in sir rised several degrees. The air compressed as the sword passes by leaving its dark distorted thoughts.
"I don't want to die.."
"Someone help."
The navy medics which were on the ship despaired as they saw the huge flame falling, many hurriedly tried to get other the other boat but some were unsuccessful as they were being pushed off. The rear admiral who they should be looking after was totally forget as they tried to save their lives.
"Insidious bastard...," Cancer weakly to get up as he looked with in the air with intense anger and murderous intent. Even though he has competely lost, Joshua still wants to take him out, this made him furiuos, the abnormal amount of veins which pumoed out of his head was a little scary.
"No.."
The navy in the distance who were desparately trying to shoot Joshua out the sky looked on the blade which was centimtres away from Cancer with despaired expressions.
"Stop!"
Strawberry who was blasting through the sky shouted with angry tone and on his face had several points of anxiousness.
But it was too late.....
boom...
"Dont ever think about you damn pirate..."Cancer ruthlessly got up on his foot, then swang his blade with his blooded body.
The sword collided with Cancer's sword causing the winds to violents spread out. He who had little strength and was already low on stamina couldn't hold his own against the powerful flame blade. He was instantly sliced through and the black flames were attracted onto his body madly burned his split body. But the flame blade did'nt stop as it continue to descend until it slammed into the warship.
The strong and detter sliced the navy's great route monster in half and a instant clap of the ocean occured as the sword stroke.Waves gallop as the two slit parts of the ship continue rise and sink into the water.
Image here....
Everyone looked on the ship which was just split in half with widen eyes.
The warship was cut in half..
