145 Splitting Skies

I had never felt so tired in my life. This is by far the strongest being I have fought. I have to thank Big Mom for slicing my forcefield back then... if this residual trillion-volt lightning hadn't scattered... I wouldn't have the means to protect against this.

I designed the kinetic patterns to work the same way with allotropic forms, the different ways in which the particles arrange each other to produce different results. For example: Graphite and Diamond are both different forms of carbon... what changes is the allotropic form in which the particles are arranged.

Arranging different wavelengths of my kinetic power allowed me to either attack or defend. In this case, Aegis was the ultimate pattern I designed based on a diamond for defence but I didn't stop there; I also studied the prism and its capacity to divert light... I knew my defence was not bound to protect against everything, there would always be something capable of shattering Aegis or at least that was me thinking of the damned Murphy law.

Who would have thought there would really come a day in which something could really shatter my Aegis... the gamma rays of a quasar no less?

BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!

The impact crashed on my barrier and produced a gnashing soul-piercing noise that attracted the sights of everyone down there... they saw the light but they didn't know what it was. They didn't know how close they were to being extinguished.

CRACK!!!

The scar began in front of me and expanded all the way to the sea, my barrier which should have been able to easily take on nukes, was about to shatter helplessly.

"Mu-Muhahahahahaha!!!! YOU'RE WAY MORE THAN MU EXPECTED DRACULE VEYRON! SO MUCH MORE! YOU SHALL BE MU'S TOY! MU HAS CHANGED-".

"It is too early! I don't need your crappy villain monologue right now!"

WHOOOOOOH!!!

My arms twisted and so the whole barrier began to constrict and the beam that threatened to shatter the world, was bent back into the skies like light phasing through a prism.

The dragon gasped in disbelief, transforming into a humanoid form as he, she or it or whatever that dark bastard was; saw the beam shoot back into the skies splitting the night itself, space shattered and the skies overturned, but I wasn't done!

"I send it back to you, go ahead and do your monologue now!"

!!!

The beam engulfed that person, being shot out of the quasar only to arrive at my forcefield and to a technical 'U' turn. There is no mistaking it... I'm going to pass out once this is done, what's keeping my consciousness is sheer will. I saw with my eyes how that person got engulfed by their own attack, which I don't doubt should be one of the strongest if not the strongest in their arsenal.

The whole discharge lasted for what I believe was an eternity... let alone destroying Wano, that thing was likely to pierce a hole through this planet. When it finally receded, my consciousness began giving away.

Youbi, no longer in my kinetic grasp, began falling down towards wano like a meteorite.

That had been my delusion though, as something forced my consciousness to remain as a hand grasped my falling body. She pulled me into a suffocating and possessive hug and all I could see was silky sky-blue hair.

She separated from me shortly after... her body was naked as we floated mid-air, there was nothing on her as if the quasar's ray had managed to obliterate everything... except her body.

I could only mutter, "V-Vivi..."

The woman's eyebrows raised before her seemingly gentle expression transformed into one of endless wickedness, her eyes were red like blood and in them, I saw so much abyss and bad feelings. It was inconceivable for me to think that this beauty... was the same person, the same pitch-black dragon I had been fighting with previously. It wasn't until the night itself transformed into her dress, covering her back up... that I realised this was indeed the last boss.

"You managed to protect Wano, very commendable Veyron... but in exchange... you have become Mu's little toy~"

I pressed my hand on her chest, not with my usual naughtiness but instead, trying to push her away and struggle from her grasp, I was in my weakest form and about to pass out any second now, there was no one around here I can ask for help. My mom should be in Fishman Island right now and there is no way for me to contact her... is this woman really going to take me now!?

She looked at my hand that grasped her chest and smiled.

"Let me go..."

"How naughty of you. For this sacrilege, any other would have found their heads rolling helplessly, but with you, Veyron..." She put her cheek next to mine and whispered in my ear while licking my earlobe, "You're so strong and sweet. Even as a hybrid Lunarian... Mu can make an exception~"

My struggles ceased and my consciousness began to fade. My eyes weakened as they closed with her subtle assistance.

"Time to sleep, puppy".

BOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!

The revolution had finished and it was marked by the impact of a meteorite straight into the shogun palace, destroying whatever remained of it, Youbi sank inside spotless... the samurai began to celebrate madly unaware of what the sacrifice had been to achieve this result.

Kaido was gone, and the beast pirates were gone. Orochi lay on the ground unconscious and the corrupt wards had been slaughtered but Imu began walking away and carrying the fainted boy who had made sure this country knew peace. The darkness of the night looked palpable as she started walking into it.

"VEYRON!".

'What can I do... what can I do?!'

Yamato -who had regarded everything- hissed at her powerlessness while everyone else celebrated, she couldn't even fly up there to stop her... placing all the power she could in her legs she took a massive jump.

BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!

The ground beneath her shattered and even if she managed to jump several miles up, she still was unable to even reach Imu's toes, instead what she saw was the mocking smile of the woman who looked at her as if she was an utter loser while taking Veyron away.

RUMBLE!!!

"I won't let you have him!".

A blast of frozen energy shot from her mouth towards Imu, although she couldn't reach them she could at least hope to delay her. Imu did groan in annoyance before placing her arm forward and merging the night into a shield.

BOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!

Her attack was brushed aside just like that. Thankfully, it wouldn't be necessary for her to do anything else as she did the best she could in this situation: buy a few seconds. Imu who had been walking into the darkness sensed something and took a swift step back as a gigantic dark arm camouflaged itself with the night and swept towards her.

WHOOOSH!

Like dancing on a lake she sidestepped and evaded the strike with a deep frown.

A gigantic silhouette appeared before her, emerging from the darkness itself. Gigantic, with two massive horns and dark reddish skin. Two wings that spawned far away and gave her an imposing outlook.

Even with such a devastating appearance, Nico Robin was sweating and tired... she had flown as fast as she could nearly breaking the supersonic barrier... all because... of a premonition.

When she saw this woman with sky-blue hair and red eyes, holding Veyron as if she belonged to him, she nearly lost it.

"RELEASE... HIM".

"A demon?~ Quite the skilful trick you've got there, but before Mu that's but a fake demon far away from ever being what WE are".

"WHO ARE YOU?!".

"Make way... Nico Robin. You're far from being able to match Mu in darkness manipulation".

RUMBLE!!!

She didn't even need to move her hands. A mere gesture on her face was enough to cause a tsunami of darkness, but she had severely underestimated her opponent.

Although Robin was astounded that this mysterious woman was also able to manipulate darkness, she brushed her questions aside because of priorities.

A sea of dark arms split the tsunami of darkness as Imu frowned in distaste, instead of wasting time she took a step back and her body started to sink into the darkness of the background while Robin tried to handle the tsunami. The Queen's objective was not to engage in a useless fight, she took the chance to cover her appearance back again with a dark veil, leaving only her red eyes exposed.

"Where do you think you're going? GIVE MY SON BACK!".

Just as she began to sink in the darkness, someone else resurfaced from Robin's side, it was Mihawk with Yoru in tow coated in Sword Intent. Noticing another user of the 4th Haki, Imu had to start taking things a bit seriously.

"Mihawk... do you not show any respect to your lord?".

"I'm a knight no longer... release my son right now!".

"As for late Mu has been desiring some company back in the garden, so Mu has decided to take on a new son. Dracule Veyron is the best candidate to be our son".

Mihawk's eyebrows flinched with the deepest snorts she could produce.

'The audacity of this b*tch...'

"THEN GO FIND YOUR OWN!".
