Chapter 25 - Alive?

"Pick it up."

Yasuo and Sabo turned around with cold sweats running down all over their bodies. What they saw made their spines tremble. A shadow-like being walked out of the shadows and was hit with the light of the sun. The 'person' had hair that is going up like flames, his arms and so thin and long like they're made out of sticks. The person before Sabo and Yasuo had a sinister grin, with its mouth being fully white and never-ending. His eyes were red with a slit that continues outreaching the skin and turning white all the way to its forehead and chin. His horns looked broken, and so are his wings and tail. However, his appearance did not lose its terrifying aura even with his inadequate body.

The 'person' began to start walking again after looking at Yasuo and Sabo. "Stop, move and I'll cut you!" yelled Yasuo.

Yasuo's warning did not work; the person just continued to walk without any hesitation; he merely gave Yasuo a glance and chuckled. When the person walked past the two, Yasuo unsheathed his sword and swung at the back of the person's neck. Sabo did the same as Yasuo, only this time he used his pipe and Haki with his attack. Sabo saw the person as a dangerous individual, as he couldn't sense him, even when he was actively using his observation Haki.

To both their shock, their weapons merely went straight to the person's body. The guy chuckled and said, "That tickles," its sinister voice once again making Sabo and Yasuo's spines tremble.

'Is it one of those fruit things?' thought Yasuo as he frowned.

'H-How? I used armament Haki! Even if he has a Logia-type devil fruit, he should've taken damage!' thought Sabo as he looked at the person with fear.

"Kekeke, I am not a devil fruit user... I am the devil," said the man.

Yasuo frowned and asked, "The devil? Who the hell are you, and what are you doing here?"

The devil looked at Yasuo for a couple of seconds in silence then looked at the sword behind him and said, "My name is Tenaga, a devil that resides in this sword left by your master, Yasuo."

"You, how do you know my name?!"

Baal POV

I did not know Yasuo's name and who his master is, I just accepted the sudden notification I've gotten when a wielder popped up. It surprised me at first because there was no one in front of me, but when I walked out of the room--without opening anything because I can phase through it--I found myself looking at a familiar face, Yasuo, a character from a game degenerates used to play. I gambled on calling him Yasuo from the start, as he might not be named that in this world, but I decided to go with my guts and it all worked out.

What shocked me even more than seeing a game character is Sabo; I do not know why he's here, but I wanna see Luffy's face when he finds out Sabo is alive, he might just go crazy and try to see Sabo heh.

"I know your name because I have been stuck in this room since you were even part of the Dojo. I've seen you, your friends, your master... And your brother," I replied.

"Y-You?"

"Why have you been stuck here?" asked Sabo while he was still on guard.

"Fate."

"Fate?"

"That's right, I've been waiting for someone worthy to wield me (No Homo)."

[Wow, great acting]

'Shut the fuck up!'

"So you've found one?"

I didn't answer but looked at Yasuo, who was looking at the ground thinking of the past. I began to speak after a few seconds and said, "Pick up the sword your master used to wield; it is yours now, Yasuo."

"T-That sword was master's sword?"

"Yes, yes, it is. It's a sword meant to be passed down from generation of the technique he taught you. He, unfortunately, passed on too early to give this sword to you."

Yasuo looked at me, and I returned with a smile and moved out of the way, gesturing him to go pick up the sword. He walked forward, stopping near the front of the sword. He looked at his own sword and took it, placing it on the floor right next to him. He then began to pick up his master's sword.

The sword looked brand new and like a normal katana with its handle having wind patterns. The blade of the sword was untainted even by time.

After picking up the sword, a sudden burst of wind began to blow out of the sword. The wind was getting stronger by the second, making Sabo worry a bit. The wind got so strong that Sabo had to use Haki to even stand still, but surprisingly, the building remained fine even after the wind had gotten so strong.

After a long while, Sabo and Yasuo decided to go back to their camp, as they will soon. Yasuo now carried his master's sword and left his old one at his old room back in the Dojo.

When we reached a hill near the camp where the revolutionaries camped, we suddenly heard a massive boom that shook the ground, with smokes heading up the sky.

Sabo and Yasuo looked at each other and nodded then began to run towards the explosion. What they saw angered them. The man they captured, Renekton, was holding a young orange hair girl by the neck and lifting her off the ground as he smiled. The scene behind him was full of dead bodies and injured Revolutionaries.

"Koala!" yelled Sabo as he leaped towards Renekton, pipe ready with armament Haki.

Renekton noticed the voiced and smiled, "Oh to be young again."

Renekton dodged the pipe that Sabo swung and punched his gut that was wide open with nothing protecting it. Sabo stumbled forward and clenched his stomach while he spit saliva all over the ground.

Renekton walked towards Sabo and kicked him in the head; then he began to speak, "Well now, lover boy, I thought someone of your title would be stronger than this. Stand up and pick up that strange weapon you use."

Sabo picked up his pipe and tried to stand back up, but Renekton's patience was running thin as he looked at Sabo who was standing up slowly.

"How path-"

Before he could even finish his words, he heard a voice that he will never forget, my voice.

"You got him good."

He began to sweat and turned around while dashing sideways, trying to avoid me.

"W-What the hell?! The fuck are you, and how'd you get behind me?!" He yelled.

I merely put my hands on my eyes and laughed, laughing so hard that I held my other hands onto my stomach.

Renekton was about to leap and strike me when he suddenly saw something in the future using his observation Haki.

"HASAGI!"

Massive air currents suddenly appeared in every direction and created one giant tornado that spawned behind me as I laughed hysterically.

"Shit."

Meanwhile in Upper Yard

The Straw Hats were now done celebrating and eating after Sanji cooked for them.

While Luffy and the others ate, a wild Baal suddenly appeared between Luffy and Usopp. "AHHHH!" yelled Usopp as he ran away behind Sanji, who was bringing more food for Luffy.

"What's up, balls?" asked Luffy as he took a bite of meat.

"Tsk. Luffy, do you perhaps have brothers?"

"Brothers? Yeah, it's Ace and Sabo."

"What? You have another brother?" asked Sanji, while the others just looked at Luffy, waiting for his answer.

"Yeah... His name is Sabo. He passed away when we were young. Shishishi, I remember when the three of us would make trouble everywhere we go."

The others looked sad, but Baal broke the silence with a statement,

"No, Sabo is alive."

*Thud*
