Paradise___
Far away, somewhere on a large winter island. There was a super gigantic underground laboratory for research and experiments.
In one of the rooms, there were huge monitors, various devices and big machines.
On one corner of the room, a huge piece of solid clear crystal was entrapped and fixed with many metal cables.
The cables connected to the clear crystal were joined on a machine which directly showed the statistics on one of the monitors.
Before that monitor stood a tall and old looking man with white coat and his long tongue falling outside.
"What's going on? This isn't what I expected? How can she already start awaking? Impossible!"
The man was shocked as he stared at the numbers and words displayed on the monitors. All the readings were top and surpassing the limits.
Crack!
The man turned his head and saw small cracks appear on the clear crystal. Actually, in the crystal trapped was a beautiful woman.
She was tall, and very mesmerizing to one's eyes. The man gulped in, his eyes watched as the cracks spread further and deepened.
Crack!
Pieces of crystals fell down, the entire laboratory started shaking as if an additional force was acting together with the gravity.
Boom!
The huge piece of crystal burst apart and the fragments of the crystal scattered all around.
Most of the equipment in the room was damaged and the monitors were showing danger alerts.
"Shit!"
The man cursed and retreated back from the corner and made distance. As the smoke dispersed, the figure of the woman standing revealed itself.
"Hello?"
There was no response from the woman. But as he was about to near her, he felt a heavy aura erupt from her.
The woman's eyes opened abruptly, with golden luster and the presence of unimaginable power, her eyes scanned the room.
"I feel you."
She stopped her head in one direction, then jumped blasting through the ceilings and roofs.
Boom!
The explosions echoed in the island, the man raised his head and looked at the hole from the room leading to the sky.
"It's gonna take time to fix this…"
* * *
Heaven Realm, Akuma waited patiently in the silent and cold hall. His eyes stared blankly at the entrance door.
Step Step.
The footsteps sounded. Then followed by the sound of the door opening, the sunlight entered together with the man.
"I remember, you really did your job until it was perfect. Even I almost forgot about you."
Akuma praised the man before him with a smile on his face. The person standing before Akuma was Goof.
In his hands was the longsword.
"At your service."
Kneeling before the huge throne, Goof held the sword on his palms presenting it to Akuma while his head lowered down in respect.
"Good, you are worthy. You can finally get your freedom from me."
Akuma looked at Goof. His eyes glowed in multi-color, it spun and focused on Goof.
[Ability: See Through False]
Goof's body then turned light green from deep red unlike the environment around them.
'It's still working, just weak.'
Akuma stood up from the throne and walked forward before Goof.
"As I said before, you earned it. Freedom."
Hearing Akuma's words, there was some happiness in Goof's heart as well as sorrow.
It seems that Akuma's hypnosis has deeply affected his mind. As the weight of the longsword lessened, Goof's happiness also increased.
'I can finally be free! I am sorry Luffy, Zoro… you all were just someone that the Devil had targeted from the beginning. I am just a pawn, I can do nothing but obey him.'
Goof really wanted to apologize to the Straw Hat Pirates but unfortunately, it was too late now.
Goof shook his head and wanted to stand up but then a sharp object pierced his body.
Stab!
With widened eyes, Goof struggled and raised his head to see Akuma looking down on him with an indifferent expression.
"The only freedom from me, is death!"
Goof could feel the longsword cut his organs and the pain made him unable to move his body.
Thud!
He fell to his side, his pale face stared up at Akuma. Goof really was blind to have trusted a devil.
Boom!
It was then that a huge explosion sounded in the hall, a golden female human not much smaller than Akuka in size flew in.
She threw a punch at the surprised Akuma and successfully sent him crashing on the back wall.
In his last moment, Goof for the first time admitted that he had seen the appearance of an angel that came to put an end to the devil.
Goof regretted everything he did, but he couldn't change anything. His body turned cold and his eyes lost life in them.
* * *
"Ow! That hurt!"
Akuma landed on the floor heavily from the cracked wall. He held his jaw and gritted to check if it was a serious injury.
Thankfully it wasn't.
He raised his eyes and stared at the woman before him with a smile.
"Finally, my better half."
Akuma spread his arms and welcomed the woman with a warm heart but what he got in return was a kick on his chest.
Boom!
His body broke through the White House and flew outside the mountain ultimately slamming down on the ground.
Bam!
The woman, with golden hair and fair skin, her body covered by the golden dress, leaped in the sky and landed before Akuma.
"You can't be saved any longer. The only solution left for me is to kill you with my own hands."
The woman said with a depressed look on her face, she clenched her right hand into a tight fist and punched at Akuma.
But the fist was caught by Akuma easily, he tilted his head and looked at her eyes.
"Angel, please listen. I can change!"
In Akuma's voice was desperation, the woman, Mia Tatsuri, or the real identity of the Angel, Rose Kalós, hesitated.
That hesitation was enough for Akuma to grin and kick her on her chest with all his might.
Boom!
Rose flew and her body destroyed the thorn forest in her line of path. Small red trails of blood flowed down from the cuts on her body.
Of which, most healed in a blink of an eye while the rest disappeared in a second.
"What more can I expect from you."
Rose sighed and stood from the ground. From her back, two large white wings burst out.
Her entire body shined with even more glow, a white halo formed above her head.
"Full power from the start? Wise choice, Angel!"
Akuma grinned wickedly at Rose. His face distorted and his skin started degenerating.
His entire body turned red, a long thin tail stretched out of his back with two huge bat wings.
"Hehel haha! This time, it will be the end!"
Akuma stomped his foot on the ground and flew in the sky with his wings.
Using Devil Fruit? It was useless against Rose. Haki? Also useless.
The only way to fight against the Angel was for the Devil to use his true form and strength.
Boom!
The two collided in the sky, gusts of wind spread from their clash. Their presence alone was like a sword on the people.
Many fainted directly. Even many of the strong members of the Devil's Pirates passed out.
In the forest, in Earth Realm, a gigantic snake raised its head in the sky and watched the fight between Akuma and Rose with horror.
It was Failed 13!
On its head, Joker was seated. His body had suffered too many serious wounds and injuries.
"Hahaha! Hahaha! I was trying to kill that thing! Hahaha!"
Seeing Akuma's true form, even Joker was unable to control his mind. His eyes bleed, his mouth wide open to laugh.
He clawed his own face in terror, the aura coming from Akuma and Rose's fight was just to must for them to handle.
In a few moments, Joker rolled down from Failed 13 and fell on the ground dead. Even at his death, Joker's face was laughing.
Not just him, those who didn't faint, either died or turned into madmen.
Boom!
Akuma was struck by a hard punch from Rose, his body flew back hundreds of meters away in the sky.
"Akuma, why? Why is it always you? For once, I felt an attachment with you but what have you become!"
Tears flowed down from Rose's eyes. In her latest memories, she remembered her time with Akuma.
Their identities were Birkang and Janvi! It was true, in their past lives, they did fall in love with each other.
Akuma didn't deny it, but also didn't agree.
"That's because we are different! We are one! We are I!"
