Space-Space Fruit in One Piece

On their way to the palace, the trio met even more resistance than when they had entered the island. It seemed like Paolo probably had amassed several hundred men under his comman.

"Isn't there some kind of limit to this Devil Fruit ability?" Wyper asked, annoyance clearly noticeable in his tone.

"It might work in a way where he only needs to give them a command a single time and they will follow all his orders immeadiately. Though I can't be too sure. It could also be that he just has very high mastery over his Devil Fruit." Eren replied after some thinking.

He also felt like it was weird that the guy was able to control so many humans at the same time but chose not to think about it too much. He would soon find out after confronting him.

After about 20 minutes of walking, they finally arrived in front of a grand palace. Since Eren and Enel still weren't able to see much, they asked Wyper to describe the place to them.

"It looks very grand," the Shandian began his description. "There are many pillars on the front and it has some very large wing doors that are currently still opened."

"I didn't ask about its shape," Eren suddenly interrupted him. With his observation Haki he could obviously feel its structure and even knew that Paolo was sitting about in the largest hall, about 300 meters away from them along with 2 pretty strong other individuals.

"Well, its material is made of the same one as the mountains. Though it seems to be of the highest quality as it reflects even better than them." Wyper answered slightly offended. He hadn't expected for Eren to interrupt him so impolitely.

Noticing his crewmates feelings, Eren sighed slightly. "I'm sorry Wyper. It's just that I can already feel several naked women sitting in one of the rooms. They are lying on the cold floor and are probably mind-controlled by Paolo to do some very traumatizing things."

Seein this scene caused rage to swell up inside Eren. R*ape and Torture were the two crimes he hated the most, as they were purely for the pleasure of the perpetrator. There was nothing to gain from them. That's also why he hated the Celestial Dragons so much.

Of course Eren wasn't a fan of murder either, but that would at least end the victims life relatively quick and usually without much suffering. Those crimes on the other hand would cause a lifetime of trauma.

"Let's go inside and finish this quickly." Eren spoke and immediatey headed inside. Right now he didn't want to do anything more than killing this scumbag of a pirate.

Using his Heaven Fruit powers, Eren shortened the space between them and the main hall that the three pirates were located inside to just 10 steps. This meant that they were able to arrive almost instantly, causing the individuals inside to be slightly scared.

Eren noted that at least one of them had probably awakened Observation Haki if they were able to feel their movements through the door. He didn't care though, as he kicked it open immediatley, causing it to fly out of its hinges towards a throne located at the other end of the hall. It skidded across the floor and ended up coming to a stop just a few centimeters in front of the three individuals.

Now that there were no more obstructions between them, Wyper could finally see them clearly. Eren and Enel obviously weren't able to the same as they still wore their blindfolds, only being able to make out their general outline. Wyper once again had to explain how they looked exactly.

"The guy in the middle is probably Paolo, so I didn't dare to look at his face. The one on the left is a tall but ugly woman with shoulder-length bright pink hair. To the right is a buff man with a menacing look in his eyes that scream he wants to kill us. He has short hair styled into a toothpaste-like look."

Hearing Wyper's explanation, the right-hand man and left-hand woman of Paolo instantly turned enraged.

"How dare you say I'm ugly?" The woman screamed out in anger. "Don't you know who I am? My name is Valentina Aglyvic. I have a bounty of 95 Million Berry. I've never even heard of you, so you're probably fucking weak.

How do you even dare make fun of me with those tiny wings and drums coming out of your backs? And I haven't even mentioned those weird long earlobes yet. Have you even looked at yourself in the mirror?" It seemed like she was pretty good at insulting though. The last comment even hurt slightly.

Especially Enel, who was slightly self-conscious of his long earlobes seemed to be hurt. He was about to attack her, but suddenly the guy on the right spoke up.

"You're wrong, for my hairstyle doesn't resemble toothpaste in the slightest. Its instead supposed to mirror the dynamic and wildness of the waves on the sea, bringing my untamed character to light with the help of my hairstyle."

'What's wrong with this guy?' Eren thought. He spoke like a poet but looked like a brute. It seemed like he really failed miserably at matching his looks to his personality.

"Let's just beat them up!" Enel suggested with a murderous expression on his face.Valentina's words had really struck a nerve for him, and he wanted to beat her up.

"Okay. You take care of the woman, and Wyper takes on the guy. I will fight Paolo, so you better make it quick."

Just as Eren had finished speaking, Enel instantly turned into Thunder and reappeared in front of his opponent. Seeing this scene, the Warlord's expression turned grim.

One of his opponents was actually the user of the Rumble-Rumble fruit. Even for him it would be hard to beat someone like that. Let alone Valentina. He wanted to help her, but suddenly he noticed movement right in front of him.

Eren had used his fruit to shorten the distance between them, and a blackened fist was moving right towards Paolo's face. He had to jump back at the last moment to barely dodge the fist, but when he wanted to counterattack, he noticed that his entire body seemed to be frozen in space.

Without the ability to move, he was hit by a kick from Eren that hit his back. In the last moment he lifted the restrictions in space and sent the warlord flying several meters to distance himself from the other two fights.

Eren decided to take their battle some distance away, as he fully trusted Enel and Wyper to take care of their own opponents and instead feared that Paolo might use his Devil Fruit to hypnotize Wyper and use him as a hostage.

* * * * *

Speaking of Wyper, he had now engaged his opponent. Both of them were close-range fighters that mostly relied on physical strength to fight.

"Seems like your captain failed to see through my physical shell and underestimated my true potential and strength. Sending his weakest member after me. I willl grant you the honor to witness the full glory of my glorious strength and end this high-spirited clash between us as fast as possible."

Wyper only looked at his opponent in disdain though. It seems like he had been underestimated and would need to prove himself. After an entire week of battling with two monsters he was actually looking forward to fighting a normal guy.

The Shandian simply took out his spear and made his way towards his opponent. At first he took normal steps, but eventually he sped up with the help of his waver-skates until he was extremely fast.

He thrust out his spear, aiming for his opponents abdomen, but he dodged to the side. Seeing his attack fail, Wyper tried to retreat but was met with a punch towards the right side of his body.

He needed to shield himself with his weapon and used the impact of the collision to retreat backwards. He now looked at his opponent with a hint of caution, after realising that his strength was just as high as his own. The only advantage he held were his skates that granted him a much higher mobility.

"Garahaha! It seems like this will be more fun than I had thought." Wyper's opponent suddenly started laughing. If Eren was currently here, then he would be overjoyed right now. Finally the first guy with an unique laugh.

Wyper who didn't know the importance of such a unique laugh though, chose to ignore it completely and instead chose to clash with his opponent again.

At first they were just exchanging some light hearted blows- testing out each others strenght - but with time their fight incresed in intensity. Wyper's spear moved rapidly, causing a whistling noise to be produced in the air. But his opponent wasn't slow either.

He either managed to dodge each attack or somehow diverted the spear to the side. They were almost locked in a stalemate until Paolo's subordinate suddenly slipped up.

He defended one of Wyper's blows, but underestimated its strength which caused him to lose his balance and almost fall over. Though he quickly regained his stance, Wyper's spear was already heading for his heart.

There was no way he could block it, so the spear hit him straight on the chest. Instead of the expected outcome of Wyper's weapon piercing his chest though, it was repelled with a metallic clang.

This was bad for him. Was this the result of a Devil Fruit... or maybe even Haki? If Eren or Enel were here right now, they would be able to see how the guy's chest had turned black in some parts. But since Wyper hadn't awakened any form of Haki yet, he wasn't able to see it.

"Garahaha," he suddenly started laughing again, "I had planned to defeat you without using my Haki, but it seems like you're stronger than I thought. I will now use my full power to fight you, so remember the name of the person who killed you. I'm Gerald Johanson!"
