The clashing of metal rang with battle cries up and down prison corridors as Kai's group tore into the ranks of Impel Down's guards. For every body that hit the ground, a key was gained, another cell opened, and more joined their chaotic rebellion against authority. The scent of freedom stirred hardened souls in dark cells, desperation turning to resolve as they fell into the breakout.
Kai launched himself forward, Estoc in hand, striking swift and sure, smooth strikes that were even more so now. The guards were little more than an inconvenience now, for every slash he made sent them back; even the large Blugoris-the great hulking, blue-skinned monsters of beasts, dwarfing most men-fell beneath the edge of his blade.
"Man, I'm not gonna lie," Kai muttered to himself, sidestepping a Blugori's massive club and countering with a Magic Glintblade, the magical sword cutting deep into its chest, "this is way easier than I remember. Am I getting stronger, or are they just this bad?"
A glance at his system screen confirmed his suspicion. The leveling up, the relentless training-everything was starting to pay off. Even when a guard fell by someone else's hand, he noticed the faint shimmer of Runes flowing into his body. Not as much as when he finished them himself, but still. free Runes were free Runes.
"Hey, I'll take what I can get," he grinned, jerking another guard down by a quick thrust of his Estoc, the satisfying surge of Runes filling him. "I mean, I'm not greedy!....okay, that's a lie. I am."
The corridor shook with a deafening roar, tossing Kai around as he spun to face the next wave of guards. Saldeath, the thin-limbed figure of the Blugori chief, strode forward flanked by a squad of the monstrous creatures. The unholy grin and scythe-shaped ornament he carried were intimidating enough, but the Blugori that accompanied him looked even more fearsome than their predecessors.
"Oh great," Kai sighed, "the freakshow's here."
But before he could ready himself for the fight coming his way, Ivankov's voice boomed from behind, confident as ever.
"Leave them to me, my darlings!" Iva cried melodramatically. With a jump of his body, his head expanded to an absurd size with the use of his Face Growth Hormones. With a devilish grin, he let out a Hell Wink in a huge air pressure blast that tore through the line of Blugori.
"HELL WINK!"
And the result was terrible. A lot of the Blugori were sent into the walls, their big bodies buckling down to the ground into a pile of unconscious flesh. Saldeath, off guard, was also thrown backward, but he remained barely conscious, clutching on for dear life to his weapon.
"Darn! I am getting stronger but Iva is on another Level! Might consider her..... nah hell No" Kai thought to himself.
Yet, some Blugori had survived the attack, their relentless aggression dragging Kai back into battle. With a quick pivot, he called a Glintstone Arc, and the wide, sweeping magical sword smote the remaining creatures. They were big, powerful, and angry, yet now they moved slower, their blows more easy to avoid.
Kai danced between them, fluid, his strikes connecting with a precision he'd never had before. "So, I just level up a bit, and suddenly, I'm an A-list fighter? Not that I'm complaining, but where was this when I was getting tossed around before?"
One Blugori still stood after taking Iva's attack and launched himself at Kai in a fit of wild fury. Kai smirked, shifted his weight, and readied his Estoc. With a quick sidestep, he jammed the blade into the creature's side, the satisfying hum of Runes flowing into him once more. This time, it was a full reward: the Blugori's massive frame crashed to the ground.
The other tried to use that for an opening, but Kai easily deflected the blow with his Shield and continued with a Magic Glintblade that sent the guard flying back. Though he hadn't been the one to kill it, he couldn't help but smile at the sight of more Runes trickling in.
"This whole 'sharing is caring' thing? I'm all for it."
.....
As the dust of the latest battle settled, Ivankov was quick to turn to Luffy, his eyes providing acknowledgement. "Straw Hat-boy, we've got to keep moving, your brother's waiting!"
Luffy, always ready for action, nodded energetically. "Got it!" He surged forward, now setting his eyes on reaching Ace.
But no sooner had Luffy taken flight than a new figure appeared to block his path. In came Sadi-chan, sadistic chief guard, with her whip in hand and monstrous Jailer Beasts flanking her. The confident grin that wrapped around her face now twisted even more into something even more unsettling as she cracked her whip, glaring at Luffy.
"Oh, no, you don't! No one goes through without the sting of my love~!" Sadi cooed, full of sick amusement.
Kai stepped forward in the gap, squeezing between Luffy and the threat approaching them. "Go on, Luffy. I'll deal with this."
Luffy cast Kai a trustful look before he ran forward. Kai calmly stepped forward, blocking Sadi-chan's way with a grin, cracking his neck as he flexed his fingers like he was ready to humble some noobs in PVP "You know what? Equal rights, equal fights, sweetheart. You see these hands? They're rated E for everyone."
Sadi-chan looked him up and down, her grin twisting even more into one of malevolence. "Oh? Confidence is cute. Let's see how long that lasts before you're crying for mercy."
Kai laughed at her mockingly, the motion of his hand a dismissive wave. "Mercy? Babe, I don't even know how to spell that shit." He spun his Estoc in his hand, dropped into a ready pose. "And just so you know- I don't give a damn if you're wearing heels or battle armor. You come at me swinging, you're getting slapped down like anyone else. Feminism, right? Equal opportunities for ass-kickings."

'Great a fucking Dex Weapon! Utterly useless to me! A MAGE!' Kai complained, but he couldn't afford to keep complaining, because with a flick of her wrist, Sadi lashed her whip toward him, and the battle was on. Kai dodged the first strike easily, slipping between her aggressive attacks with an easy grace he hadn't quite known he possessed until now. His Estoc gleamed as he countered, and Sadi was forced to retreat momentarily before striking again.
"I'm not your average inmate! Darling" Kai joked, sidestepping her whip and delivering a solid hit against her side. The edge of his Estoc only managed to catch along her leather garment, and Sadi sprang to her feet, her whip cracking within an inch of his face.
"Feisty, aren't you?" Sadi purred, the whip popping at him once again.
The battle wore on; Kai dodged and counterattacked with short slashes of his blade, but he felt a gnawing sense of something. Every time Sadi moved, he couldn't help but notice just how tight her outfit was, how form-revealing her figure looked under the crossed leather straps that bound her. He shook his head, clearing his vision.
'Focus, Kai. Stop staring at the—'
His thoughts were interrupted as he made a dodge too close, and by some freak accident, his hand came right onto her breasts. Instead of pulling back, Kai's hand instinctively squeezed them, feeling the softness beneath his fingers.
The two of them froze.
"Daaaam....DAMN!" Kai said, staring widely as his heart started racing and for one brief second, his mind was very far from fighting. 'Goddammit, Kai, pull it together. Three months with out any physical contact, and this is how you crack?!! NO HORNY MID BATTLE KAI!'
Sadi-chan grinned wickedly. "Oh my~ Trying to feel me up already? Naughty boy~."
Kai cursed under his breath, barely keeping a lid on his frustration. His Body was betraying him, his thoughts were now all over the place. Suddenly, his mind flashed images of her tight outfit, how it outlined her curves and breasts! The frustration gnawed at him, and his face tightened.
'Damn It! Kai!' he thought.
But Sadi, sensing the shift in his demeanor, snapped her whip toward him when he least expected it. The crack of the whip landed across his side, and Kai was stumbling backward, hissing in pain. He clutched at his side, trying to shake off the sudden onslaught.
At another lash, she released a taunting giggle. "What's wrong, Bedroom Bandit? Can't handle a real woman?"
Kai blinked, completely taken aback by the nickname. "Bedroom what now?" The moment he said it, he realized he hadn't had a chance to even think about it. Yet somehow, the nickname tugged at his memory. 'Why the hell am I called that?' No time to think.
He gritted his teeth and dodged another whip strike as Sadi continued her assault, laughing and taunting him. She had the better of him, and it was driving him mad. His mind wasn't on the fight anymore, and it showed.'Okay, I can't keep this up.' His frustration mounted. 'She's good. but this distraction isn't helping. Think, Kai. You need a plan, something to snap yourself out of this'.
Then, a thought crept up. 'Hold on a fucking minute.Why don't I simply? Level it up? this is not Elden Ring, the system is always with me? so why don't I?!'
It finally dawned on Kai that absolutely nothing prevented him from leveling up mid-fight, as his hands flew into his system-the now-familiar surge of energy that flooded his veins when leveling up shot through his body. His stats rose, notably his Intelligence, and the haze clouding his mind disappeared as a newer wave of clarity washed over him when he straightened up, feeling much more in control

"Oh yeah, that's what I needed." He grinned.
In an instant, Kai took his Glintstone Staff; its coolness was reassuring in his hand. He raised it, speaking in a soft murmur. "Night Shard!"
With his empowered Intelligence, the half-invisible projectile shot from his staff with lethal precision. The near-invisible shards that flew across the air connected with Sadi with unexpected speed. She grimaced, quite unprepared for this attack by magic, raised her guard in an attempt to deflect, but could not track projectiles at this speed.
Another shard, and another, each slipping by her defenses. She let out a frustrated hiss, stumbling backward as the projectiles kept on coming.
"Yeah, that's more like it!" Kai grinned, the confidence flooding right back in. The semi-invisible nature of 'Night Shard' was working just as he'd hoped-overwhelming Sadi from a distance. He fired again, this time with even more precision, peppering her with a series of attacks.
Sadi snarled, trying to keep her cool, but clearly she was losing ground. Her whip snapped futilely as another shard planted itself square in her chest and sent her reeling backward.
"Yeah baby, one of the most broken spells in Elden Ring!" Kai said jocularly, launching one final Night Shard that sent Sadi crashing to the ground. "Get fucked, Sadi!"
Sadi writhed in pain, clutching at her chest as she gasped for breath, her voice hoarse from the cracking. "Y-You b-bastard! You think. this is over?" she snarled, the once playful tone now full of feral fury. "I'll make you pay for this.!... I'll... bre....ak you!"
Kai smiled, brushing his hands as he watched her fumble trying to get up. "Yeah, yeah; sure, sure; whatever helps you sleep at night, lady." He casually spun his Glintstone Staff, walking away as Sadi's curses faded to the background.
