Inside the Merchant Ship, a few Bounty hunters sat down around a table, with drinks in their hands, and a tense atmosphere, showing the serious situation.
"Should we attack the ship passing us By?"
A bounty hunter on the left stared at the other bounty hunters, desperation was in his voice as his skeleton-like structure was seen, he was like bones and skin.
But it was not just him, the other bounty hunters, in total, 7 of them looked the same like they had not eaten anything for weeks, and that is because they hadn't eaten in weeks.
"But then we will be wanted by the Marines"
The bounty hunter seated on the right of the leader said, he was the brain of the group, and the strategist, The other bounty hunters gritted their teeth before saying.
"I would rather be wanted than die in this hell hole because of starvation!"
The other 5 bounty hunters nodded in agreement, with even the leader tempted by the offer.
"Fine... get ready and attack the ship!"
The leader finally spoke, he stood up, and his huge body shadowed the others at a height of 10 feet.
The Bounty hunters quickly got to work, and they steered the ship to sail past the other ship with just a hair breath, the hunters left the cabin and waited until they could jump onto the ship.
"Now!"
"Stop"
Instantly everyone froze in fear as a commanding voice was heard on their ship, the leader looked back with a shaking head, and his eyes widened as he saw a monster... Sukuna.
"I want to play a game"
The hunters tensed as their bodies shook in fear uncontrollably, they started sweating, but nobody dared to say anything as they waited for Sukuna to speak.
"Fight in a free for, and the winner gets dinner since you all seem hungry~"
The hunters immediately froze, but then their eyes wandered towards each other, and the air became tense with tension, and just then, the silence was broken.
"Ahh!"
The leader, with tears in his eyes, ran to the closest hunter to him, and with all his strength he took the huge sword on his back and chopped a hunter in half from the waist.
Seeing this, the other 5 hunters cried as they attacked their long-time friend and leader, the leader retaliated in kind and attacked them too, but slowly, the fight began to tilt.
The 5 hunters became slo, their bodies were weak, but the leader was able to last much longer than them without food, thus he was the least affected in the group.
The fight went on for a few minutes until the last slash from the leader took down his partner or ex-partner.
"Ah! Ah! ah!"
Breathing heavily and fast, the leader bent down on his knees as he stared at the floor and sword covered in his friend's blood, Sukuna behind him smirked at the sight.
"Well since you won, I will honor your deal~"
The leader looked up and nodded, but he had no happiness on his face.
"Eat up~"
Sukuna looked at the bounty hunter, and with a ferocious smirk, his voice came out as highly excited to the terrified ears of the hunter.
"What?"
The hunter looked up at Sukuna, and he was confused, he gave him nothing yet, what does he mean by eat up?
Sukuna smirked before pointing at the dead hunters on the ground.
"Eat it~"
The leader immediately got up and tried to run, but Sukuna vanished and appeared in front of him, he kicked him in the chest, and the leader fell into the blood.
Sukuna then stepped on his head, forcing his face to mush into the guts spilled on the floor, the leader felt like throwing up, but before he could, Sukuna forced his head even harder.
"Eat up, or I will cut off your limbs, and then throw you into the ocean to be eaten slowly and piece by piece, by the poisonous fishes~"
The leader widened his eyes, and with dread in his eyes, he opened his mouth, and then bit down on the flesh, Sukuna watched and this went on until Sukuna got bored.
"I am bored~"
Sukuna yawned as he turned and walked away, leaving the leader thinking that he was sparring him, but instantly, Sukuna cut his head off, and then jumped back onto his ship, sailing away.
As Sukuna was sailing towards the closest island, which is Whiskey Peak, On a nearly destroyed island, 2 figures were facing each other, one black and the other golden.
Boom!
"Black Hole!"
Blackbeard grinned as darkness spread throughout the whole town, sucking everything into a tiny point on his palm, a singularity, and a black hole.
While not as strong, Blackbeard managed to create a mass so dense that light gets sucked into it, and it is extremely strong, for the normal man it is, but for people with strong haki, it can be negated.
Facing Blackbeard, a handsome man, seemingly 20 or something years old, with freckles on his face, and fire rolling off of his body, His face was bloodied as he faced Blackbeard.
"Teach!... you will pay for what you have done!"
A voice full of anger came out of Ace's mouth, but Teach just s irked as his palm faced Ace, and with a huge suction, Ace flew towards his palm at a fast speed.
"Fire spear!"
Ace groaned at the pressure on his body, and he threw 2 fire spears that stuck into Teach's left and right shoulder.
"Ahhh!"
Teach screamed loudly before rolling on the floor, But in a second the fire spears dissipated, and Teach got back up, he opened his palm, and suddenly things were thrown out at high speeds.
"Liberation!"
Things covered in armament haki flew towards Ace, and with his mere observation Haki, Ace was helpless as his body was banged by the crushed things thrown at him.
Boom!
Boom!
Crackle!
Ace flew away, and he turned around, with bruises and blood on his body, heat rose up around him, and then a fire wave spread from his legs, watching this grinned as smoke started covering the place.
The flames started condensing above Ace, and soon, a huge ball of flame was condensed, the heat dried the ground up, and the sea evaporated from the heat in the distance.
"Ace! Are you sure you don't wanna join me?"
Teach grinned before asking a question that he asked already, Ace did not answer, and with hate in his eyes, he slammed the huge fireball at Teach.
"Dai Enkai!"
"Zehahahaha!"
Teach ran forward, huge black smoke coming forth from behind him, covering Ace's fire as the huge explosion covered the entire island almost.
A few seconds later, the smoke was blown away, and it revealed Ace on his stomach knocked out, while Teach was panting heavily with sweat on his body.
"Ah! Ace, you should not have come after me~"
