Sanji, Franky and Chopper walked inside a huge restaurant in the Town of Happiness.
The interior was very stylish and expensive just from the appearance alone.
But there was an ominous present in the atmosphere in the corridor that they were walking.
"Duck Down!"
Shouted Sanji, Franky dived on the floor while Chopper covered his head.
Boom!
A huge red object blasted through the wall and slammed just before them. The walls were cracked, the cement and paints fell off.
"What the hell!"
Sanji stared at the object with wide open eyes in surprise and shock.
"Apple?"
Chopper named it, yes, it was a huge apple almost bigger than Franky himself.
"More coming!"
Shouted Sanji again, the group rushed forward through the corridor while multiple objects broke through the walls.
Each object was a fruit or vegetable, and all were of huge sizes. It was really unexpected and wild.
"Who are you! Come out and fight!"
Sanji roared as he jumped and kicked one of the flying fruits back to where it came from.
The fruit seemed to hit on a soft surface as almost no sound was created on the collision.
Bam!
Bam!
Bam!
The heavy and loud footsteps erupted from within the room where the large fruits and vegetables were thrown from.
A huge hand grabbed the edges of the cracked wall, then the hand pulled the body.
Sanji raised his head to the highest to look up at the face of the person before him. The presence alone of the person was a weight on Sanji's chest.
With a white chief's hat, a thick beard, a giant three tips hook on the left hand and a deadly cleaver, the man gazed down at Sanji with dominance.
"I will first skin you alive then dip you in a bowl of sauce before deep frying you!"
Saying so, the man extended his left hand to grab Sanji. Franky and Chopper were slightly hesitant whether Sanji needed help.
"Go, I will handle him!"
Sanji jumped on the man's hand and then launched himself while twisting in the air. Then with his strong right leg, Sanji landed a kick on the man's face.
Boom!
The kick carried a huge force behind it but Sanji was stunned to see that the fat man was unmoving.
"Impossible!"
Sanji exclaimed, as he landed on the floor. The huge fat man slammed his tightened fist on Sanji.
Boom!
The floor shattered when the fist hit in it while Sanji leaped and avoided the punch.
"Don't run!"
The fat man said as he quickly grabbed Sanji's right leg while still in midair.
'Shit!'
Cursed Sanji, his entire body was pulled down and slammed on the already shattered floor.
Boom!

Behind the restaurant building, Franky and Chopper stopped on their steps.
Their eyes were focused on the strange figure in front of them, who stood with a gentleman's suit and long silver cane.
Lowering his hat, Brook bowed at Franky and Chopper with some respect.
"I greet you two, as well as warn. You two, this is the end."
Said Brook. He threw his hat swiftly at Franky who extended his hand to grab the hat with bare hands.
Slice!
Franky looked at his right hand in disbelief. The hat, which looked ordinary, had edges as sharp as blades.
From the upper area of the thumb, to the end of his wrist, the hat cut off his hand.
"Franky!"
Chopper shouted in worry, then he glared towards Brook with anger visible in his eyes.
"Yohohoho! As I said, it's the end for you two."

Somewhere in the deep alleys, Robin held her bleeding left arm and ran with all her might.
"Haa! Haa! Just a bit more!"
Robin could see the end of the alleys from where light entered, the crowd there was unaware of anything.
'I can make it! I am sorry, Luffy. I already knew it was a dead end when we came here with Joker. Fighting against the Devil, it's just a dream. And winning, a thought.'
Robin panted heavily as she ran, she could feel that due to the blood loss, her body was going colder.
Bam!
Suddenly, Robin seems to hit an invisible wall. Her body was knocked backwards.
[Target Locked]
The space before Robin distorted and the screen of invisible washed away with Borg's body in display.
The newly updated body frame and more advanced weapons fully loaded ready, gave Robin a sense of discouragement.
"I won't surrender!"
Robin kicked herself back and stood up from the ground, standing before Borg, she took in deep breaths.
On Borg's metal flat face, two red lights glowed intensely. Borg moved its hand and pulled out a long sword handle from the tight.
Swoosh!
As Borg swung the handle, the long blade extended from the top of the handle in a saber form.
Then, the blade started heating up until it turned deep red and flames erupted out of it.
'I am in trouble! The Second Division Captain Borg, also the top assassin in the world currently.'
Robin slowly stepped backwards, her eyes moved quickly and scanned the alleys.
'I don't have any choice. I must fight.'
Robin made up her mind and decided that fighting Borg was the only option as it was nearly impossible to escape from it.
She crossed her arms over her chest, then concentrated her thoughts.
"Bloom Flower! Hundred Arms Grip!"
With flowers bursting on Borg's body, tens of hands grew up on the metal surface.
Unfortunately, Robin didn't know any important information about Borg.
"What!"
Robin cried out in dismay, almost all of her strength was weakened and she fell to her knees.
Borg's body frame was made from the combination of pure sea stones and the hardest as well as most flexible metal.
All the hands that bloomed on Borg's body, burst and disappeared.
Robin raised her head with struggle, she looked up to see Borg already standing right in front of her and looking down on her.
[Target Captured]

Heaven Realm___
At the edge of the floating island, Luffy and Zoro stopped to catch a quick breather.
"Will this really work? Can this sword kill that guy?"
Questioned Luffy with a hesitating look on his face, even Zoro believed that this sword alone was not enough.
The longsword was 1.5 meters in length and the sharpness was almost out of the world.
Zoro tried and could easily cut buildings into half similar to Nobita. It's just that handling the longsword was very difficult.
"Let's go, I can see the mountain and the thorn forest is huge!"
Luffy gazed at the far mountain that stood alone in the whole island, it was covered in thorn forest.
"Ya, will see what happens afterwards."
Zoro agreed, then the two started making their rush towards the White House.
As they ran, they didn't realize that the air in the atmosphere had dropped to a terrifying level.
Very soon, their steps became heavy and they gasped for breath. Luffy and Zoro could feel their lungs trying hard to take in whatever air it could.
"D-Damn it! W-What's going on?"
Luffy stopped on his path, his body was on the verge of collapsing. Zoro on the other hand was slightly better in condition.
"Get up! We need to hurry."
Zoro lifted up Luffy on his shoulder while Luffy held the longsword with struggle.
But after some distance, even Zoro couldn't continue. His eyes went dark as his body fell on the soft grass.
Inside the White Crystal House, on the huge throne, Akuma opened his eyes.
"Monkey D. Luffy and Roronoa Zoro, you did good by bringing the longsword that could kill me. Even though it's just a fake to begin with."
Akuma smiled in pity at Luffy and Zoro, the longsword that could cut him was all a lie.
He wanted to see who would be the first to betray him and use the longsword on him. Yet, all those years, none did.
"Haha, it was fun. But the time to end the long battle between us has arrived, isn't it?"
His gaze pierced through everything, reaching a far corner of the world where he could feel a strong awakening life force.
"O my dear angel, we shall meet again in a few moments."
