[Grove 25]
"Seems like it has already gotten quite lively here."
A man wearing a white fur hat, Trafalgar Law, said with a smirk as he casually gazed at the scene laid out in front of him.
*BOOM*
The whole restaurant laid out in the front, burst into pieces, and revealed the wild clash between the Fire Tank pirates and Bonney pirates.
"My... my..." The owner of the restaurant sat at the corner with pale face, shocked that his restaurant has been destroyed beyond repair, "MY RESTAURANT!!!!!!!"
"I know quite a good amount about you, Jewelry Bonney." Bege, as his palm opened and a cannon ball was shot out of it, stated impassively.
Of course, it was a bluff. Jewelry Bonney? Bege only knew bits that he read from the newspaper.
*BOOM*
"Tch, what the hell is with your body?!!" Bonney gritted her teeth in annoyance as she nimbly dashed to the side to dodge the cannon ball, before jumping toward Bege with her hand outstretched, "Whatever! It doesn't matter as long as I touch you!!!"
"A pirate from South Blue." Bege stated as another cannon ball was shot out of his body, to which Bonney was forced to lie down on the ground to dodge it, "In contrast to the feats that you've done, your bounty is absurdly high... as if the World Government values you."
Bonney, who pushed herself back up quickly and ran toward Bege, widened her eyes, "Don't you dare talk any further!!"
*BANG*
"Argh!!!" Bonney was forced to retract her hand as Bege shot out a bullet from his pistol. Her palm twitched in pain as a clear hole was made on her palm.
"How thoughtless. Whatever the reason you may be trying to touch me for," Bege said as he puffed onto his cigar, "it doesn't matter if I simply don't allow you to do so, isn't it?
And..."
Bege shifted his gaze to Law, who was spectating the scene in amusement,
"Trafalgar Law. What are you here for?"
Law smirked in response,
"Oh please. I'm not interested in any of you. A fight of this calibre... too boring."
"Hm... I see." Bege, after having quickly assessed the situation, motioned his hand to his subordinates.
"Pull back. There's no reason to drag on further."
Bege's eyes narrowed,
'Something is about to happen.'
Then,
"Purururu, purururu."
the Den Den Mushi that Law kept on himself began to ring, causing him to grin knowingly.
"It's about time."
Picking up the dial, he heard one word from Nojiko:
"…Help?"
Upon hearing the word, Law raised his right hand with his palm facing down.
"Room."
Then, Law directed his hand to the Grove 24, where a member of the Twin Cats pirates was about to be harmed by a gigantic menace named Gian,
"Shambles."
_______________
[Grove 24]
*CLANG*
"Eh...?" Gian expressed his confusion slowly as his teeth was suddenly met with Law's unsheathed sword.
"Haa..." Nojiko sighed in relief as the member of the Twin Cats pirates quickly retreated away from the harm.
'Damn it... I had no choice there.'
Approximately 30 minutes ago, the Twin Cats pirates were met with two people beyond their capability to fight against: Jeanne and her subordinate, Gian.
Nojiko, by using what she knew of her devil fruit ability to its maximum capacity, brought forth as many dead corpses as possible, however...
who would've expected that this monster named Gian... was a mad cannibal?!!
Just the sight of dead human beings being eaten by this creature caused the Twin Cats pirates to feel fear, and Nojiko was pressured into calling Law as one of her crew member was about to suffer the same fate.
And now,
"Ha? Who the f*** are you?!" Jeanne, with her cutlass on her shoulder, raised her eyebrow at Law.
Law, whose face was now that of an absolute seriousness, ignored Jeanne. Instead, he simply swung his sword toward Gian, whose body was sliced into two pieces without any resistance.
"Just a piece of flesh, nothing more." Law brought his right hand forth to the upper body of Gian.
"Whaaattt...?" Gian exclaimed slowly, unable to process what just happened. Then,
"Mes."
Law's hand slammed through Gian's chest, before popping out a heart that was trapped within a strange cubic matter.
And he didn't take any second to hesitate, but slashed to the heart that was in the mid-air with the intention to kill Gian—
*CLANG*
"Whatever devil fruit you may have eaten..." Jeanne, who intercepted Law's slash, said with a crazed grin, "...it looks hella valuable."
Law frowned upon seeing that his strike failed, before ducking to dodge Jeanne's powerful slash.
"Shambles."
*Swoosh*
Swapping himself with a piece of stone that was lying nearby,
*BANG*
Law managed to dodge Jeanne's bullet just in time.
Meanwhile, Nojiko, who managed to pull her crew back, decided to join the fight as well.
"Cat Flame."
From Nojiko's hand, a pale green-coloured flame combusted into existence.
Law, having saw Nojiko's technique, motioned his hand once more,
"Shambles."
At the next moment, Jeanne found a ball of green flame right in front of her face.
"Cat Flame. It doesn't burn. Rather..." Nojiko, although sweating from exhaustion, grinned, "...it corrodes."
Jeanne, who met the ball of flame with her cutlass, found it disintegrating into dusts.
"...Your fruit seems quite valuable as well." Letting go of the hilt, and at the same time, the pistol on her other hand, Jeanne's crazed expression began to tone down in a frightening manner.
"And you are a psycho." Nojiko snarled in response.
*Swoosh* *Swoosh*
Not giving Jeanne any time to breath, Law immediately cut the ground around Jeanne, who jumped up to dodge the attacks.
"Takt."
Upon Law flicking his finger upward, the cut piece of land blasted toward Jeanne who was in the air.
"Be careful, woman." Law said to Nojiko grimly, "Our foe is known as Davy Jeanne. If you exclude Grimheart and Blackbeard, she is the most well-known super rookie at the current moment. And—"
"I already know who she is, duh." Nojiko intercepted Law, "The one responsible for the case of Daughtoud massacre two months ago, and is known to possess the ability of—"
Law intercepted Nojiko,
"Blood Blood fruit, Paramecia-type."
Jeanne, who was in midair with the chunk of Earth flying toward her, grinned as she clenched her hand.
Her long nails cut open her palm in a painful manner, and a blood was sprayed out in the air, which morphed into sharp spears and blasted the chunk of ground open.
"Incredibly enhanced regeneration of blood. Augmentation of physical prowess through the increased blood density. Ability to control the every external drop of blood near one's proximity."
Nojiko looked at Law in suspicion,
"You know awfully a lot about this fruit."
"I am a doctor after all."
Jeanne, with the drops of blood revolving around her, landed in front of Gian's lower half.
"Yo fatso, I'll be borrowing your blood. Try not to die, eh?"
Without any delay, Jeanne cut open Gian's left leg, where a huge surge of blood splattered out.
"OWWWWWW!!!!" Gian shrieked in pain; slowly but loudly.
"Stop whining." Jeanne kicked Gian's lower half in annoyance, causing the latter to cry out even louder.
"She's coming." Law stated as he placed his sword in front of him.
"Haa…" Concentrating once more, Nojiko formed a floating ball of green flame on top of her palm, once again.
"Pathetic." Jeanne commented with an amusement before pointing her finger toward the two,
"Splatter."
The revolving drops of blood immediately shot out to Law and Nojiko.
"Try that freaking 'Shambles' again, will ya?" Jeanne bickered, right before,
*Swoosh*
Dodging Nojiko's ball of flame effortlessly.
"Why not?" Law, who was in a cold sweat, grinned as he motioned his hand, "Shambles."
Law and Nojiko teleported from the previous positions to Jeanne's back.
"*Huuuuuuuu*"
Right after, Nojiko breathed out a wave of green flame, which travelled toward Jeanne ferociously.
*Snap*
"Exploding blood."
*BOOMBOOMBOOM*
Then, under Jeanne's manipulation, the blood drops all aligned in front of her and exploded simultaneously, which effectively stopped Nojiko's attack.
"Shambles."
Within the cloud of dust, Law quickly swapped place with the wooden plank nearby Jeanne, before thrusting his sword out in a stabbing motion,
"Injection Shot!!"
*CLANG*
However, it seemed that Jeanne managed to block Law's attack by redirecting the blood from her front to her side.
"What's your blood type?" Jeanne grinned as she looked at Law, "I hope it's X. A small drop of mine and fatso's F-type… sounds fun, doesn't it?"
"Heh, too bad for you." Law grinned back as he pointed his sword at Jeanne, "I'm F as well. Why, you interested in donating me some blood?"
"Meh, there's many other ways to mess you up. Such as…"
Under Jeanne's will, the wave of blood began to swirl rapidly.
Law took a step back in caution,
"Centrifugation?"
"By extracting the plasma, blood becomes even more compact and resilient."
Now, in Jeanne's hand, there lied a sharp-looking blood-cutlass.
"Blood Sword: Ichor." Leaving Jeanne's grip, the blood cutlass began to float up in the air.
"…What's so impressive about it? It's just a clustered mass of blood." Nojiko muttered in caution.
"Her white blood cells are drastically stronger than the average. Once you get stabbed by that thing…" Law replied calmly, "…Autoimmune response. Your body will be destroyed from the inside."
"…That's dangerous—eh?" Nojiko, who crouched her body in order to act, stopped upon sighting an appearance of two very familiar people.
"Hm?" Jeanne, who was about to motion her arm to launch her blood cutlass, found her arm not budging. Turning around, she was met with—
Rowan, who was grabbing onto her arm with a displeasure written on his face, and Nami, who stood behind him.
"What do you think you are doing right now?"
"…Grimheart? For real?! Kyahahaha!!" Jeanne cackled madly, "A head worthy of 1.9 billion Beli… you are getting me excited here!!"
Rowan, with his arm still clenched onto her arm, assessed the situation.
'Davy Jeanne…'
Of course, he, who actively read the newspapers ever since the three-year-long stay in the Nidaifuku, recognized who this pirate was.
'Violence, picking fight off against Nojiko… and Trafalgar Law.'
There was only one answer to this.
"Seems like you want to die, huh?"
Law, upon sighting Rowan, lowered his sword in surprise.
"Kyahahaha!!! Try if you can!!"
*BOOM*
"Gladly." Rowan stated in a cold tone as he flicked up a stone that was lying on the ground.
"Ichor—"
"Entropy Blast."
*BOOOOOOOOM*
A stone, which was now encased in Armament Haki, blasted through Jeanne's chest effortlessly from the point-blank distance.
However,
"You surely are different from them, Grimheart!!!!"
Jeanne grinned as to everyone's surprise, the blood within her body didn't spill out, but continued to circulate within her body—even when a notable hole existed on her chest.
"However, you are unable to kill me—"
Rowan raised his eyebrow, before,
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*
The whole area, starting from Jeanne, Gian's severed body parts. to all the way behind her, became demolished into nothing in an instant.
"That's the second grove you've destroyed so far, Rowan." From the side, Nami muttered dully, "You really destroy everything in your way, don't you?"
Law's eyes wavered as he unconsciously gulped. The man in front of him, was none other than the man known to have gone toe to toe against the top powers of the Marine.
'Surely, Grimheart… he is capable of ending Doflamingo. Now, how should I play my cards…'
On the other hand,
"Nami! Rowan!" Nojiko shouted in delight as she quickly ran toward the latter. At last, Nami has returned to her crew.
"""Captain Nami!!!"""
Nami made a weak smile on her face, "Haa… why does it seem like I've been away for a long time?"

[Grove 78]
"So Grimheart has arrived."
Marshall D. Teach the Blackbeard, nodded as he heard the report from Laffitte, who disguised himself as a Marine soldier.
"What shall we do, captain?"
"…Zehaha… to think it would come down to this…" Teach, with bloodshot eye from anger, calmed his breath down and replied, "Don't engage. Without Tremor Tremor fruit, I am unable to defeat him right now."
From Teach's right, Shiryu, who was polishing his sword, stated, "If this is all that you are capable of, I may be disappointed, captain."
"Yes, me as well, murunfufufu." Devon agreed as she stood at some distance away, "I was expecting something grand, and not… this hiding like rats."
"Zehaha!! Just endure it for a bit longer." Teach, with his hand placed on his eyepatch, grinned, "For now, focus on finding a capable doctor to replace Doc Q."
Van Augur, who was holding onto one particular bounty paper, placed it on the table, "This man seems to be appropriate…
Trafalgar Law."
