Waving my hand, forcefully bringing Queen's large Brachiosaurus body to a halt just before he could slam his tail against my body, I outstretched my arms and clutched the air as if I was truly grabbing something, causing Queen to be lifted in the air before I clenched my fist and punched towards the ground, doing the same with his body as I violently slammed him onto the floor.
"For someone as intelligent as you, it's rather disappointing that you only amount to this; I was hoping for a more challenging fight." Remarked Sebas respectfully as he hovered just above the floor while gazing at the ground, only for his figure to rapidly dart through the sky, evading numerous projectile beams.
"Tch, and you talk big for an old man! Stop moving!" Remarked Queen angrily as he spat out blood while in his human-beast form, having transformed his arm, hair, and tail into metallic claws that shot beams of light at Sebas, yet with his future sight, they all missed.
Abiding by his words, I stopped moving, causing numerous projectile beams to head right for me, yet before they could blast my body to smithereens, I raised my hand, causing them to all come to a halt as I covered them in psionic energy, preventing them from dissipating. Once Queen stopped firing, I pointed two fingers into the air, causing the tens of balls of light to circle me, forming something akin to an angelic halo.
'Heaven's arrival.' Mused Sebas lightly as he pointed two fingers to Queen, causing the numerous spheres to rapidly launch toward him, forcing him to raise his arms to block the incoming attack.
I had strengthened the balls of light with my own psionic energy and haki, so they were noticeably stronger than before, something Queen quickly realized as each sphere managed to pierce through his thick hide and haki-clad body, though I will admit, it wasn't as easy as I made it seem, even compared to the Tobiroppo, who have all eaten Ancient Zoan devil fruits like Queen; when it comes to natural defense, he defeats them in that regard.
'Hmm, thinking of the Tobiroppo; should I prevent X-Drake from informing the Marines?' Thought Sebas with a thoughtful expression as he rubbed his bearded chin while glancing to his right, using his haki to see through the numerous walls.
Janet was currently facing X-Drake, and of course, since he was an undercover spy for the Marines, he was withholding a significant portion of strength; otherwise, she would've been fighting a losing battle. However, after some thinking, I decided to let things play out naturally; if the Marines happened to invade, then so be it, though if they did, there was a high chance they'd come with full force after the loss they faced when trying to invade Totto Land.
"On second thought, I wouldn't be so against fighting against that Admiral again; he was rather disrespectful to Mael and I." Muttered Sebas with a frown as he moved his two fingers, causing his body to speedily lunge at Queen while also dodging a slash from his sword.
'Gentle Fist.' Thought Sebas lightly as he floated in front of Queen's large body while placing his palm against his chest.
Surging my psionic energy and haki, I thrust my palm into Queen's chest, allowing me to bypass his thick, haki-clad hide without advanced haki while directly targeting his insides; of course, the strength of the attack was somewhat diluted since it was required to travel through his defenses, but it was still strong enough to force him back while he spat blood.
"Tell me, you boast about the robotic upgrades you've added to yourself, but, in the end, what did that really amount to? Tell me, I am curious to know." Asked Sebas curiously as he glanced at Queen, who violently gnashed his teeth before opening his mouth while collecting a tremendous amount of energy within his throat.
"Black Coffee!" Yelled Queen angrily as he opened his mouth further, launching a powerful blast of energy toward Sebas at point black range.
Having already seen what was about to happen, I quickly reacted before the beam of energy could even leave his mouth; outstretching my arms, I clutched my hands before slamming them together, forcefully closing Queen's mouth, causing his eyes to widen while the attack backfired and exploded within his own mouth.
Just as I was about to follow up with another attack, I suddenly raised an eyebrow while looking behind me, gazing at Grand and Chala, who were fighting Page One and Ulti, respectively, yet Whos-Who and Sasaki were ambushing them.
"No, no, no; I can't have that happening; that's a bit too much for them." Muttered Sebas with a frown as he outstretched his hands towards Whos-Who and Sasaki before clenching his fist, stopping their movements while lifting them in the air and bringing them to him.
'Hmm, Queen alone isn't enough to truly make me feel threatened, and although I dislike Freyja, her words hold some truth. I will not improve myself unless I face enough adversary that forces me to improve; adding another opponent who isn't too much weaker than Queen may just do that.' Thought Sebas lightly with a glint as he glanced at Sasaki and Whos-Who, both close to breaking out of Sebas's grasp.
"Though I may be biting off a bit more than I can chew… Well, no risk, no reward, as they say." Muttered Sebas softly as he separated his arms, bringing Sasaki towards him and sending Whos-Who to Scar, who was fighting against Jack without much difficulty.
By the time Sasaki arrived near Queen and I, he finally managed to break out of my hold, prompting him to swiftly transform into a Triceratops while lunging right for me, though before he could, I created a forcefield around me, preventing him from reaching me; however, that allowed Queen to nearly slash me in half with his sword, which ironically enough, caused me to faintly smile.
"Smiling? Oh, dear, I've been spending too much time with Captain, though with this, it seems I've finally gotten what I've been looking for." Said Sebas with a faint smile as he floated in the air while solemnly gazing at Sasaki and Queen

Blocking Jack's curved swords with my leg, I used more force, pushing him away from me, yet before I could follow up, I sensed someone heading right for me, causing me to quickly distance myself from Jack while gazing behind me, only to see someone wearing a red mask floating right towards me, seemingly against his will.
'Huh, I think I know what you're getting at, Father.' Thought Scar with furrowed brows as he looked at Sebas, who had just stopped Sasaki from attacking him, before shifting his focus back to Whos-Who.
The moment the man managed to free himself from Father's hold, I kicked towards him, launching a deadly blade of wind that dangerously sliced through the air, and unsurprisingly, he retaliated in the exact same way as me, using one of the six rokushiki techniques.
'Thought so; how he fought greatly resembled the Rokushi martial art.' Thought Scar lightly as he floated in the air using geppo while Whos-Who did the same.
"Rokushiki? How do you know that?" Asked Whos-Who suspiciously as he gazed at Scar, who pointed towards the ceiling, from which the faint laughter of two Emperors of the Sea originated.
"My Captain taught me; apparently, he learned them from watching six different animals fight. He's quite the monster when it comes to martial arts; however, this is a conversation we can speak about later. Though, that is if you survive." Remarked Scar calmly as he glanced between Whos-Who and Jack, only to violently kick toward them both, launching blades of wind that were even larger than before, forcing them both to block his attacks.

"Ugh! Cruel Sun!" Yelled Mael aggressively as he raised his golden axe into the air, causing an incredibly dense ball of plasma to manifest, its heat so intense that the surroundings were instantly set ablaze.
Violently swinging my axe at King, launching my cruel sun at him, I flapped my wings and speedily followed right after my attack, which he sliced in half, engulfing him in a mighty explosion, yet that wouldn't be nearly enough to stop this man as I entered the explosion while slashing downwards, only for a clanging noise to resound, the clash of our weapons parting the fiery explosion.
Grunting, we powerfully pushed against each other, yet with our haki and strength being practically equal, neither of us was able to overpower the other, causing us to back away with a small explosion before we lunged back into the fray; our weapons violently clashing as we held nothing back while we attempted to kill the other.
Thanks to my devil fruit, I was able to bypass the incredible defense his flames granted him, which was good, yet that meant there was no point for him ever stay in his defense state, meaning he was using his speed state or whatever, allowing him to outmaneuver me significantly, and it was taking everything I had to keep up with his speed, even then I was failing every now then from the cuts that slowly accumulated on my body.
"Solar Flare!" Stated Mael aggressively as he engulfed his axe in an excessive amount of plasma before slashing it towards King, releasing a massive blade of plasma that burned everything in its path to ash.
"Karyudon!" Said King in a deep voice as he ignited his sword ablaze with his special flames before swinging it at Mael, creating a giant, whirling serpentine dragon that lunged right for the approaching solar flare.
Our powerful attacks collided in a massive explosion that turned everything in the vicinity into ash, leaving behind an enormous creator, yet King and I were already lunging towards each other to bother with the destruction he created.
