Chapter 125 - Clashing Amidst Falling Stars....

The battlefield lay frozen in tense silence, the moments before the storm weighing heavy on every soul. The Dead Ink Sea churned ominously in the background, its inky depths frothing with agitation. Skeletal remains of long-forgotten victims jutted out of the sand, their brittle forms scattered among shattered hulls of ancient, wrecked ships. The air was thick, not just with the creeping fog, but with an unnatural weight, as though the world itself was holding its breath. The silence broke with a roar.

A shockwave erupted from somewhere deep within the island, radiating outward with the force of a cannon's blast. The ground beneath their feet trembled, cracks spider-webbing through the rocky terrain as if the island itself were buckling under the pressure. Skeletons littered across the battlefield were flung into the air like dead leaves in a storm, their brittle remains disintegrating upon impact. The force slammed into the Black Seraph Pirates with no warning. The weaker crew members—those who had stood too close—were thrown back, their bodies crashing into jagged rocks or skidding across the uneven ground. The heavy fog that had cloaked the battlefield dissipated in an instant, swept away by the sheer force of the shockwave.

Above, the sky was fractured by streaks of fire—meteors falling like divine wrath. Each flaming rock lit up the darkness, their descent drawing arcs of light through the shroud of black clouds. The sea rose unnaturally high, almost as if gravity itself had faltered, waves levitating for brief, haunting moments before crashing back down in deafening bursts.

And then it came.

It started with a sound. A low, guttural hum that seemed to vibrate in the marrow of every bone. The hum grew louder, deeper, until it was no longer a sound but a physical force, a pressure that pressed against the skin and made breathing feel impossible. The earth groaned in protest, cracks spiderwebbing across the ground beneath the pirates' feet. The skeletons strewn across the battlefield quivered, their ancient, brittle forms rattling against each other as though awakening from an eternal slumber.

And then the shockwave hit.

The Force of Chaos wasn't just an explosion—it was an eruption of raw, unrestrained power. The ground beneath the battlefield buckled and fractured, great chunks of earth tearing free and being hurled into the air like leaves in a hurricane. Skeletons were pulverized into clouds of bone dust, their remains scattered to the howling wind. The force shattered what little remained of the ancient shipwrecks, wooden beams and rusted iron flying like shrapnel through the dense fog.

The Dead Ink Sea surged violently, its unnatural waves rising to impossible heights before crashing down in monstrous crescendos. Jets of black water shot upward, propelled by the sheer force of the shockwave, and the once-stagnant sea began to writhe like a living thing, its inky surface reflecting the chaos above.

Pirates from both sides were sent flying, their screams drowned out by the deafening roar of the shockwave. Some were thrown into the air like ragdolls, their bodies spinning uncontrollably before crashing into the jagged earth. Others were hurled into the Black Ink Sea, their forms swallowed instantly by its greedy, churning waters.

Chunks of meteors, still aflame, rained down amidst the chaos, each impact sending up plumes of fire and smoke. The sky itself seemed to be at war, the meteoric debris tearing through the storm clouds and lighting up the battlefield in bursts of orange and red.

"What the hell just happened?" one of them muttered, his voice trembling. His eyes darted around, trying to make sense of the chaos.

Another pirate stumbled forward, clutching a bleeding wound on his forehead. "I... I don't know. That wasn't... natural."

Another pirate, his hands trembling as he gripped his cutlass, spat on the ground. "The fog's gone! "Look where the lieutanants are, somethings wrong."

The battlefield was chaos. Shouts of confusion filled the air as the Black Seraph Pirates tried to regroup, their once-cocky demeanor replaced with unease. Eyes darted to their Lieutanants who were surrounded by the outmoost thickness of the shockwave's fog trying to see was going on.

As the smoky fog started to clear up, there we saw Corbin, his greatsword gleaming even in the dim light, had engaged a laughing, bloodthirsty Guzen. The crazed Black Flame Pirate threw himself into the fray with reckless abandon, his jagged blade meeting Corbin's with a deafening clang. Sparks flew as steel scraped against steel, the sheer force of their collision carving a shallow crater into the ground beneath them.

"You dare to attack me?!" Corbin roared, his voice carrying over the cacophony. His crystalline form shimmered in the eerie light, his veins bulging as he pushed back against Guzen's relentless assault.

Guzen only grinned wider, his teeth bared in a feral, predatory smile. "Well of course..... didn't you hear what our captain said, leave your lives here as well. He said as his squinted blood-red eyes gleamed violently as his smile creepily spread across his face.

Meanwhile, another clash had erupted on the opposite side of the battlefield.

Laffitte's silver cane twirled through the air with graceful precision, meeting Violet's twin blades in a deadly dance of steel. Violet's movements were fluid yet forceful, his blades slicing through the air with a precision born of years of combat experience.

"You weren't going to let us leave, were you?" Violet asked, his voice smooth yet laced with an edge of accusation. His silver mask caught the faint light, his eyes cold and calculating beneath it.

Laffitte's eerie smile widened, his movements almost theatrical as he leaned in closer. "What an astute observation," he said, his voice a low purr. "That's right. We weren't."

His cane pressed against Violet's blades, the two locked in a moment of tension before breaking apart in a flurry of strikes.

"Thats the psycopath clashing with lieutanant Corbin."

"Right and lieutanant Violet just blocked Demon Sheriff sneak attack."

"Why did they attack them, didn't they they will take the treasure and in return we'll say that we can leave."

The Black Seraph pirates were confused by the sudden clash from two members of thr Black Flame pirated as they were just about to set sail and leave the island regrettably with treasure behind. But now the situation is different from just moments ago. Then one of the Black Seraphs pirates who was near the 4 currently locked pirates, wiped the blood running down from his head said, "if you didn't hear the psychopath said..he said that Chaos wants us to leave our lives as well.

"What.... how dare that shithole."

"Dare to go back on his word."

"Do they really think they can win again us the Black Seraph pirates."

"Let's teach them a lesson that they will remember even in the afterlife.

"Lets kill them all"

"Yeah!!!!!"

The Black Seraphs pirates around expression changed into one that of anger and fury when these words rang out into their eardrums. They are not ameteurs so there able to quickly realize that the Black Flames pirates initially weren't going to let them leave like that. So the fight between both parties was inevitable from the very beginning. However, they actually dare to be an enemy of them, the Black Seraph pirates, there lives are no longer therer's as of now. Well they won't be having one after this. So they picked up their various weapons, whether it may be a sword, hammer, blade, gun etc and started to trod through the chard earth, cruching the centuries-old-skeletons in there way. There eyes filled with cold killing intent, there bodies radiating an aura of death and destruction as they looked on there enemies before them as if they're names were already inscribed in the book of death before the fight begins.

"Let's teach them a lesson they'll remember even in the afterlife!" one pirate shouted, his voice filled with hatred as he raised his sword high. "Kill them all!"

"Yeah!" The chorus from the surrounding Black Seraphs pirates grew louder, their anger and frustration fueling the rage that now seemed to define the battlefield. "Kill them all!"

The air was thick with tension, an electric charge that crackled through the shattered remnants of the battlefield. Shadows danced in the dim, eerie light cast by the falling meteors, their fiery trails illuminating the grim faces of those readying for war. The Black Ink Sea, still suspended unnaturally in the sky, churned ominously, reflecting the chaos about to erupt below.

Corbin's laughter thundered across the landscape, deep and menacing, like the roar of an ancient beast awakened from its slumber. "Hahaha! Leave our lives behind? Such arrogant words coming from such pathetic fools," he snarled, his voice brimming with fury. His eyes, glinting with a dark, predatory light, locked onto Joshua's crew like a hunter stalking its prey. "When I'm done carving you into pieces, I'll personally drag that mutt Chaos to the abyss where he belongs!"

The massive lieutenant of the Black Seraph Pirates swept his eyes across the battlefield, his gaze chilling and unrelenting. His towering frame, bathed in the faint glow of the distant meteor storm, radiated raw power. His muscles tensed, veins bulging along his scarred forearms as his tattoos seemed to pulse with an otherworldly light.

"Die, you psychopath!" Corbin roared, his voice like a shockwave that echoed across the barren land.

With a stamp of his foot, the ground quaked beneath him, cracks radiating outward like the herald of destruction. Dust and fragments of bone from long-dead sailors rose into the air, swirling around him as if drawn to his sheer force of will. His aura flared violently, a swirling maelstrom of shadow and fire, suffocating in its intensity.

Corbin's greatsword, a weapon forged for annihilation, gleamed ominously in the flickering light. He gripped it tightly, his knuckles white as the aura around him seemed to seep into the blade itself. It glowed faintly, as though responding to its master's wrath.

With a roar that rivaled the meteor impacts, Corbin swung his greatsword with the raw, primal strength of a colossus. The air screamed in protest as the blade cut through it, unleashing a shockwave that distorted the very space around it. The ground beneath him split open, a jagged scar etched into the earth from the sheer force of his attack.

Guzen, the Black Flame Pirate, met the strike head-on, his jagged knife clashing against the monstrous blade. Sparks exploded upon impact, illuminating his maniacal grin. But even Guzen, with his insane agility and bloodlust, seemed as if he couldn't withstand the raw power behind Corbin's swing.

The impact sent Guzen flying through the air like a comet streaking across the night sky. His body crashed into a distant boulder, shattering it into fragments as a nearby meteor crashed down, the explosion shaking the earth. Flames erupted from the collision, painting the battlefield in a hellish glow.

But Guzen wasn't finished. Even as smoke and fire obscured his figure, the faint glint of his jagged knife emerged, followed by a few precise gunshots. The bullets tore through the smoky haze, their speed rivaling the meteors that rained down around them.

Corbin's Armament Haki flared to life, coating his body and greatsword in an unbreakable sheen of darkness. The bullets struck him, but rather than piercing flesh, they ricocheted harmlessly off his hardened skin, each impact ringing out like the tolling of a death knell.

"Is that all you've got, you mad dog?" Corbin sneered, his voice dripping with disdain. He swung his sword in a wide arc, creating another shockwave that extinguished the flames around him and sent a gust of wind barreling toward Guzen's location.

Guzen's laughter echoed from the wreckage, guttural and unhinged. "You think that's enough to put me down?. "The fun has barely begun,." he hissed, his voice barely audible over the chaos. He emerged from the rubble, his crimson eyes blazing like twin stars of madness. His knife glinted in the light of the falling meteors as he charged forward, his movements swift and erratic, like a predator in the throes of bloodlust.

Meanwhile, Corbin planted his greatsword into the ground, his grin widening into something feral. "Come then, you maniac. Let me show you what true destruction looks like!"

Before Corbin could fully raise his greatsword, Guzen vanished from sight.

A sudden gust of wind and a flash of crimson appeared just inches in front of Corbin's face. Guzen materialized out of thin air, his bloodstained knife slashing horizontally with ferocious speed.

"Surprise!" Guzen cackled, his jagged blade coated in a menacing aura as it carved through the air.

Corbin reacted with lightning speed, tilting his greatsword upward to block the incoming strike. The clash erupted in a deafening boom, sparks raining down like a storm of fireflies. The sheer proximity of the attack sent ripples through the air, the force enough to stagger even Corbin's hulking frame.

Guzen leaned in, his blood-red eyes locked onto Corbin's with a predatory gleam. "You like surprises, don't you?" he sneered, his voice dripping with mockery.

Corbin's lips curled into a menacing grin. "You're faster than you look, freak. But speed doesn't mean a damn thing against power!"

Corbin snarled, his bulging muscles flexing as he raised his colossal greatsword overhead. His veins pulsed with raw power, glowing faintly against the charred atmosphere. ar.
