Chapter 17 - At least, say something, okay?

Awakening. 

Masa had been thinking about how to wake the Jake Jake no Mi, or rather, was it even possible? 

Naturally, it was possible, and frankly, it was quite easy for him to do so. 

Probably because this was the first Devil Fruit that he discovered due to his luck, so this Devil Fruit fitted him perfectly. After all, a certain Devil Fruit sometimes chose the user instead of being eaten randomly. 

The existence of a Jake Jake no Mi had been known as being the weak, the weakest of the weakest even, but somehow, the appearance of Masa gave him a chance to grow and become strong! 

So, how could it let go of this chance? 

Naturally, the Jake Jake no Mi gave its everything to Masa, hoping he would turn its existence into a legend. 

Probably, in the future, this Devil Fruit might even be known as Mythical Zoan, Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Masa Form. 

Yet, such a future is still far from within reach. 

Masa was still living well, and he didn't plan to die in the near future. Moreover, he planned to live for a long time, and it was impossible for him to stop the development of the Jake Jake no Mi since if so, this power would become trash, a burden for him, so he tried his best to develop this ability further and found its way. 

Mobius World. 

This was the awakening of the Jake Jake no Mi that he developed. 

Originally, the development of this ability might take a few years or so if he was alone, but as he had his ability, which made him three times stronger, more talented, smarter, and everything, he was able to develop the awakening of the Jake Jake no Mi in just a few days! 

There was also an element of desperation as he had to fight Kizaru, one of the famous admirals and the strongest character in One Piece, so it pushed him even further and developed this technique. 

A Mobius strip, Mobius band, or Mobius loop is a surface that can be formed by attaching the ends of a strip of paper or cloth together with a half-twist.

In simple words, it is a loop, an endless surface where there is no end. 

Yes, instead of aiming for an attack, like a normal "awakening" such as the Ito Ito no Mi, which turned the surrounding area into a string, Masa decided to develop this "awakening" technique into a trap-based technique to devour his opponent. 

Frankly, while it was possible for him to turn the surroundings into a jacket-like property or a zipper to create a gigantic monster, Masa felt the attack of such a technique wouldn't be that powerful.

After all, no matter how much he tried to make a jacket powerful, a jacket was, in the end, just a piece of clothing. 

So, instead of forcing himself to turn a jacket into a powerful weapon, Masa thought of bringing the advantage of the clothes to the limit, a concept-based ability, and the answer to that was the "Mobius Strip." 

By adding the element of the "Mobius Strip" and the space ability of the Jake Jake no Mi, Masa put his opponent inside this endless, loop space where they couldn't escape and would be trapped forever. 

Naturally, while this technique was powerful, it had a lot of weaknesses. 

First, because it was his first time, this technique wasn't as powerful as it appeared to be.

Secondly, as this technique was created based on the Jake Jake no Mi, the extreme temperatures, especially those with a heat-related ability, definitely could destroy this space with ease as he didn't have a heat-resistant ability. 

Cold is also the same as being frozen, which makes the clothes stiff. 

So, there was no doubt, in the case of Akainu or Kuzan, who came to fight him, Masa could be beaten even if he used this "awakening" technique.

Thirdly, as it was a jacket, it was clothing, so a sharp thing was its natural weakness, as clothing could easily be cut down. 

However, while this technique might be weak against those with extreme temperature-related abilities, it was powerful, especially against those who focused on physical ability, blunt force-related ability, or used their bodies as a weapon. 

If the one who came to him was Garp or Sengoku, Masa had the confidence to trap the two of them down. 

Well, even if Whitebeard came with this technique, Masa believed that he could trap the strongest man in the world. 

After all, the advantage of clothing was that it was quite resistant to blunt-force attacks. 

Nevertheless, trapping aside, defeating them was different, he thought, as he wouldn't have the means to defeat them. 

Still, his opponent was Kizaru. 

No, Masa was glad that among all the admirals, his opponent was Kizaru since, unlike Akainu or Kuzan, Kizaru's laser beam might be quite powerful, but it was still within the tolerance limit of his technique. 

Kizaru, who was trapped by this technique, was startled, but his priority had always been running away, so even if he was caught, he quickly turned into a light to run away. 

Unfortunately—

"...I can't run away?" 

Kizaru was so dumbfounded that snot came out from his nose, and his body was covered in cold sweat due to excessive consumption of his physical ability and panic. After all, this was his first time encountering this type of ability, and it trapped him like this!

As someone who had eaten the "Pika Pika no Mi" and became the fastest man in the world, this was his first time to encounter such a complex and complicated ability! 

"What the hell is this?!" 

The space surrounding him had a strange color, mainly black and other colors, and was made from a type of clothing. Yet, what made him crazy was the fact that this space caused his consciousness to slowly fade, which frightened him. It was like his mind was slowly being corroded, and more importantly, he couldn't escape no matter how fast he was! 

No matter where he went, up, down, left, or right, he would return to his original spot. 

It was as if he was a hamster running within a running wheel! 

"What is this?! What is this?!" 

As Kizaru asked, his body became brighter, as if he were trying to erase all the fear within his heart. Still, even if he was panicking, he was an admiral, so it was impossible for him to fall so easily, and he was using his "Observation Haki," trying to figure out the existence as he held his wounded chest, trying to close it with his "Seimei Kikan." Unfortunately, his attainment of the physical technique wasn't that high, especially when no one could kill him, and his "Pika Pika no Mi" was just too powerful. 

Still, he was an admiral! 

'As long as I can kill you, then I can escape!' 

Yes, no matter how strange this space was, as long as Kizaru was able to kill Masa, everything would be as good as over. 

Yet, there is a huge problem... where is Masa?! 

Kizaru had never ever felt that his "Observation Haki" had become so powerful, yet, even so, he was unable to find Masa. 

'It's as if he is the entire space itself...' 

Yes, to make this technique even more powerful, Masa merged it with this technique, and naturally, when Kizaru used everything he had to attack his space, he was hurt, but he held on. 

BOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!! BOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!! BOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!

"If I can't find you, then I will destroy this space!" 

Kizaru's lasers weren't weak, and each of its attacks was enough to destroy a large area, including the building and everything in the surroundings. Moreover, this time, he didn't have any intentions to hold back, so whenever his lasers passed, they exploded, causing the clothing space to rumble, but unfortunately, everything was recovered instantly.

Yet, the truth was, Masa was hurt, and he was almost at his limit. 

Compared to Kizaru, Masa knew that he was weaker, and his power was just about the same or slightly above Sairaorg in the world of DxD when Sairaorg didn't use his Longinus. 

If Sairaorg used his Longinus and achieved a "Balance Breaker," the strongest state of the Longinus, then Masa would—

As for Masa from the world of "Mahouka," his strength was weak, as a magician's body wasn't that different from that of a normal human. While he had many unique magics, all of those abilities were meaningless to the strong people in the world of One Piece, whose will could even be used as a weapon or make people pass out. 

So, with all of that, if he made a comparison to the world of One Piece, his physical ability was about a Vice-Admiral in the Marines at best, and with such a power, there was no way that he could even dream of defeating Kizaru. 

Yet, Masa had never fought fairly, and he had started this fight with a despicable strategy, so until the end, that is what he would do since he didn't want to lose! 

Well, even if he did lose, he wouldn't die, so why not give his everything, right? 

"Come out! Fight fairly, you coward! Don't you dare hide!" 

Kizaru felt desperate since he could see his attacks were meaningless, and from the beginning to the end, he had never seen the face of his enemy! 

Masa had been using the body of the "World Noble" as a disguise himself, and he never showed his face to Kizaru. 

This made Kizaru think of a possibility: whether Masa was so powerful that there was no need to show his figure or too weak that he was afraid of a confrontation. However, according to his thoughts, he knew that it would be the latter. 

If Masa were powerful, would he even need to disguise himself as the "World Noble"?

"Dammit!" 

Kizaru's first mistake was to never imagine that the "World Noble" who died would be used by this bastard as a disguise, which made him lower his guard and caused him a heavy injury. 

Still, it was impossible for him to die like this! 

"Sooner or later, I will escape from this place!" 

While it was faint, Kizaru noticed this space wasn't as strong as he thought it would be. He might not be able to escape, but when he kept attacking this clothing space with lasers, some small parts of the space appeared to be burning, which gave him hope to escape! 

Yes, the physical attack, or "Haki" related attack, might be useless in this space, but the power of "Pika Pika no Mi" wasn't useless!

Still, as Kizaru was about to find the clue and the weakness of this space, suddenly a large amount of water filled the entire space, and Kizaru, who didn't expect this, felt his entire body become weak as if being drained by an invisible force. 

"T-This... a seawater?!" 

Kizaru's eyes widened so wide in disbelief as he never thought seawater would suddenly come out and fill this entire space!

"No, I can't stay any longer!" 

His mind was no longer as sharp as before; all the strange things that happened in this space made him even more eager to run away. 

Yet, during the moment when Kizaru was weakened and ready to escape from the seawater, a click sound was heard, and he became even weaker. 

"Damn!"

Kizaru realized that his leg was being caught by sea stone handcuffs, and at the same time, he was being pulled toward the water, being drowned forcefully, and being killed. 

"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!" 

Kizaru turned his head and saw the face of the person behind everything, yet when he saw Masa, it was too late.

"...at least, say something, okay?" 

Leaving those words, Kizaru was devoured by Masa. 

---

"Ha... ha... ha..."

Masa felt his entire body was broken, hungry, and exhausted. He wanted to rest, but he knew that he couldn't, especially when he had lost all the control over the Marines, people, and everything. More importantly, after he had devoured Kizaru, it was impossible for the Marines to stay silent, and he was sure that after this, they would hunt him down even more. 

If there was something lucky, it was the fact that his face shouldn't be known, and no one should have seen his face. 

Yet, once again, he wanted to curse his luck since even if he had hidden well, someone was still able to find him, but when he was about to make a move, he stopped and looked at the person who found him with a dumbfounded expression. 

"You bastard!" 

Carina somehow was able to find Masa, who was hiding, and then hugged him softly so as not to hurt him while crying. 

"If you really did that again, then I would really leave you!, bastard" 

"I know..." 

Masa closed his eyes and rested after his long battle.

1/2

Some of you might not be able to accept the result, but it has happened, so just let go, okay? 

It's like how Luffy could defeat Enel; Masa's fight with Kizaru is like that.
