Chapter 41 - Fall of another Shichibukai

In Katahara's battle against Ryuma.

Katahara had awakened his king haki causing everyone on the island to feel it, causing all the zombies to faint.

Katahara: Because you helped me.

Ryuma: Yohohohohohoho, why am I a samurai and I always fight with all my strength and in your case you weren't even using 40% of all your strength.

Katahara only answered him with a smile, as he prepared to start their fight once again.

The two of them rushed at each other clashing their swords.

*Metallic sound*

*Metallic sound*

*Metallic sound*

*Metallic sound*

*Metallic sound*

*Metallic sound *

Ryuma appeared in front of katahara and launched the strongest slash that Katahara had received so far, cutting him all over the chest, but Katahara's body scattered into several crows.

Katahara: katon: burning ashes.

Throwing a black cloud from his mouth all over the place, then causing a spark with his mouth.

The whole place exploded in flames, as the place ignited in flames Ryuma launched a long distance slash.

Katahara blocked the slash, and lunged at Ryuma clashing their swords once again.

*Metallic sound*

*Metallic sound*

*Metallic sound*

Ryuma noticed that Katahara was getting better with each passing second.

Ryuma: Yohohohoho, I've never seen your sword talent before, you get better with every passing second, what a monster Yohohohoho.

Katahara just smiled and kept throwing slashes at Ryuma, causing him to lose one of his arms.

Katahara followed that by kicking him in the chest throwing Ryuma into the wall.

Ryuma: Yohohohoho splendid, splendid.

Katahara paid no attention to him and went into attack position.

Katahara: Waves of desolation.

Throwing slashes that resembled sea waves, which went in Ryuma's direction, these waves were as black as the night itself.

Ryuma tried to block and escape from this giant wave that destroyed everything in its path but it was impossible, causing him to fall dozens of meters to the ground.

Katahara then retreated from the tower that was crumbling because of the destruction caused by his ability.

Ryuma: ARGH... What kind of ability is that, I've never seen such a dark attack, no light can escape from that attack if you know how to use it.

Katahara: We'll meet again Ryuma...

Then I finished killing Ryuma.

Katahara: Now there's only Ors left.

[Congratulations hots, you defeated Shimotsuki Ryuma, the legendary samurai of the land of Wanl.]

[You got two lottery tickets]

Katahara: Shit, I didn't think killing Ryuma would give me this, now all that's left is to save his body for later use.... This is one of the 21 great swords. It's the Shusui meito, one more to add to my collection.

Katahara then put Ryuma's body in her ring, while inspecting Ryuma's body, and then put it in her ring.

Katahara: Well now I have the 3 types of Haki, I just have to keep improving them at least the weapon and observation, the king's haki I have no idea how to improve it.

After that Katahara went in search of Oars.

On the other side with Dabi and Moria.

Moria was burning all over her body part of her face was unrecognizable.

Gecko Moria: So this is the end huh, if I die I'll take you with me.

Dabi: Your only purpose is to feed my flame..... Entei.

It molded the fire to form a huge fireball, which began to burn and melt some things in the place because of the high temperatures.

Then he threw the huge fireball at Gecko Moria, Moria tried to escape from the huge fireball.

The huge fireball destroyed the whole castle, burning half of the whole forest.

Dabi then began to search for Moria's body.

He found Moria or what was left of Moria, she had no legs, she lost an arm and her face was so badly burned that only tissue was visible.

Dabi: Surprise you how people in this world can survive this kind of thing.

He then took out the fruit given to him by his captain and put it on Moria's corpse.

Katahara had found Oars' corpse, in a giant laboratory, he had been able to save him from Dabi's great destruction.

Katahara: Looks like Dabi got excited, so this is Dabi's maximum level, I'd say he's at a higher level than Ace when he was captured, I wonder if Luffy already started his adventure.

After putting Oars' body away, Katahara headed to the ship, where Laffitte and Drust were waiting for him along with a fainted Hogback.

Katahara: It looks like everyone succeeded in their mission.... Looks like our dear Hogback couldn't take it.

Laffitte: It seems he awakened a new power.

As he pulled out a devil fruit, and Drust did the same.

Katahara: Take Hogback to where our other guests are, Laffitte you can have a little chat with him.

Laffitte: Captain this is that lady's devil fruit.

At that moment Augur also arrived.

Van Augur: Captain this is the fruit of the guy who made himself invisible.

katahara: So the Horo Horo no mi, the Suite Suke nomi, and soon the kage kage nomi....

Nico Robin: Captain if I may ask why you need so many devil fruits.

Katahara: To use them like giving them to soldiers who stick out.

Robin: Soldiers sir?

Katahara: You'll soon see.

At that moment Dabi arrived.

Katahara: Dabi, it looks like you didn't hold back with Moria.

Dabi: I'd like to know how much my skill improved.

While taking out a devil fruit.

Katahara: With this... Our stay in this place is over.

Laffitte: Captain, what's our next target.

Katahara: Have you ever heard of the Germa Realm?

When they heard what Robin and Laffitte said, they realized what their next destination would be.

Laffitte: As far as I know it is the only wandering kingdom in the world and is not affiliated with the World Government.

Nico Robin: The kingdom is ruled by the Vinsmoke family in the North Blue, and they have in their service an army of the Underworld, the Germa 66, and the one who runs everything is Vinsmoke Judge.

Katahara: They seem to have quite a bit of knowledge about everything.

They just nodded.

Katahara: We are heading for the North Blue, the Germa realm as our target.... But rest for now. I will guide the ship.

Then they all went to their room while Katahara steered the ship in the direction of the North Blue.

Elsewhere in Marineford.

Sengoku was talking to Tsuru and Ryu.

Ryu: Sengoku-san, we have new news from the Dark Crow.

Sengoku: So they attacked Gecko Moria.

Ryu: They killed everyone and destroyed the place.

Tsuru: We don't know what he wants yet, but he should be heading for the Sabaody Archipelago by now, to enter the new world.

Ryu: Our reports say he was seen near Arabasta a few weeks ago.

Tsuru: Arabasta, they were there why they would return.

Then Sengoku broke the cup he was holding.

Sengoku: Don't remind me what happened in Arabasta.

Ryu: It looks like he's heading to Reverse Mountain, to get to some Blue.

Sengoku: That doesn't make sense, in any Blue they will technically be Kings.

Tsuru: Garp is in paradise for his grandson.

Sengoku: His family only causes trouble, now his grandson became a pirate.

Ryu: I heard that Master Z started to create an army.

At that moment someone knocked on the door.

Sengoku: Come in.

At that moment a marine entered.

Marine: Report on the Dark Crow.

Sengoku: What is it.

Marine: They were spotted in the North Blue, sir.

Ryu: The North Blue... What could they be looking for there.

Sengoku: Keep monitoring their every move.

At that moment the marine came out of the office.

Tsuru: I hope it's true that they are a threat, we are using a lot of surveillance on them.

Sengoku: If anyone else asked me to monitor some rookie pirate....

Ryu: You won't regret it, those guys are more dangerous than they look.

Sengoku: I trust you Ryu.... Tell me how are your disciples, as you named them six....

Tsuru: The Hashira, your 6 swordsman disciples.

Ryu: They are all improving better than I expected, the ones who were defeated by Boody Crow.... They learned from their mistakes and are improving.

Sengoku: Well they are all promising marines, with great future, and as swordsmen there is no one better in the navy than you to guide them.

Tsuru: Ryu with your recent victory over the Casino King, everyone knows about you, now it's only a matter of time before you get the position of admiral, as for the other 2 you need a little more merit.

Sengoku: Although you disobeyed orders by assassinating him...

Ryu: That guy made the lives of countless people miserable, it was the least he deserved.

Sengoku just touched his head and nodded.
