34 CHAPTER - 33 { Blood War! Part-3 }
[Author Talk---]
One of the readers wanted me to upload images for reference of the OC characters. Even I wanted but felt no need.
Then I changed my mind. Please go back and either re-read the chapters or just go to the part where the characters were introduced.
Some are still left, like Maba and the marine so wait.
Thank you!

"I am back!".
Suzuran was stunned for a second but controlled his emotions again. He jumped and tried to punch at Akuma's face.
Seeing the old man, Akuma moved his tail and swung it at Suzuran with great force.
*Crash!*
The old man was smacked by the tail and he crashed into the big trees. Many of his bones were broken.
Few internal organs were damaged, still he gritted his teeth and stood up.
"Chief! Please stop! Run Away!, " Cried Uva and the rest of the priest. They were too weak to fight against the giant serpent.
"Damn!, " Cursed Suzuran, his stick was lost when he crashed and his left hand couldn't be used anymore.
"Is it the end?, " Muttered Suzuran, somehow he stood straight and looked at the monster with calmness.
A dark green energy ball was formed in front of Akuma's open mouth which was locked on the old man.
"At least I fought like a warrior, " Said Suzuran, he knew he couldn't dodge that beam with his almost dying body.
*Huuu!*
The energy beam was fired, the air around the beam was turned.
Suzuran, because of his Advanced Observation or Mantra, saw it coming at slow speed.
Each second was a year long for him. He even raised his right hand towards it to welcome 'Death'.
*Boom!*
Suddenly, a huge thunder strike was sounded and it blocked the incoming energy beam before it could reach Suzuran.
"Not yet!, " Said the man who was surrounded by lighting. Two small wings pointed upwards was visible, a sign of being Shandia.
"Paul! But you can't use that powers!, " Said Suzuran, he already knew about Paul's devil fruit.
"So when should I use it? After you die?," Replied Paul, he then turned towards the giant serpent.
"It's even bigger than the 'Master of the Sky', " Muttered Paul. Taking a stand, his body turned into pure thunder and charged towards Akuma.
'Goro Goro no Mi?, ' thought Akuma, he shot another beam but it was useless.
*Grum!*
A thunder landed on his body. Because he is a sea serpent, the electricity doubled but still no harm on Akuma.
"Weak!, " Moving his body, he went on the forest and swung tail at the glowing lighting.
As it happened the boat at which the priest were, was turned up side down because of the water waves.
A few were crushed by Akuma's body only four-five were alive amongst which, Uva and Juku were counted.
"Take this!, " Shouted Paul as he punched at the tail with lighting fist. On the contact, not the tail but he was thrown back.
"What kind of skin is it?, " Exclaimed Paul, there was not even a mark on the scales of the serpent.
'How do you catch electricity?, ' thought Akuma, he knew he couldn't defeat the opponent having the invincible devil fruit unless he can catch him.
Akuma was fast, but definitely not enough fast to match Paul's speed of electricity.
Even with haki, it won't matter if Akuma couldn't touch him if Paul wanted to escape unless Paul fought with him to death.
*Eagle Cries* (No idea on how to make eagle sound by using keyboard)
With Armament claws, a very large eagle came flying towards the lighting Paul and grabbed him by shoulders.
Not knowing Mantra, Pual was caught by Trebo who flew downwards at a very high speed.
"Good!, " Said Akuma, he turned back to his human form while looking at Trebo and Pual.
"Bastard!, " Cursed Pual, he tried to use lighting on the eagle but it didn't show any sign of stopping.
*Boom!*
Just before landing, Trebo released Paul and stopped in the air letting Paul fall on the ground.
It was not long since Paul got the devil fruit, he couldn't escape the fall. Akuma was unaware of this fact.
"Aaagg!, " Holding his stomach, Paul stood up but again the claws grabbed him by shoulders and flew.
* * *
"Ha!… Ha!, " Breathing heavily, Paul didn't know how many times he was repeatedly getting thrown on the ground.
There were multiple craters around the area created by his falls. He was exhausted and injured.
This time after his fall, he couldn't stand back. His eyes we're closed and his breath was weakened.
"You are not allowed to die yet!, " Said Trebo as he became a hybrid and picked Paul by his hand claws.
"What to do, Master?, " Asked Trebo as he bowed in front of Akuma who sat at the altar and looked at Paul.
"He can be a good battery, " Replied Akuma, beside him was Guan's dead body.
"They escaped, " Muttered Akuma while he used his Observation Haki to find the old man and the remaining priest.
"Let's go! I need to check on the progress!, " Vanishing, Akuma headed towards the upper ruins where his pirates were.

Nola!
Known to many as the Master of the Sky,[2] is a giant snake who lives in Upper Yard in Skypiea.
Having lived for over four centuries, the snake was once the companion of Kalgara and Mont Blanc Noland back when Upper Yard was still part of Jaya.
It is the grandchild of the snake Kashigami, whom the Shandia once worshiped as a god.
Currently, it was still to become the 200 meters long snake but yet it was very big.
Upper Ruins, the place were once the Ancient Shandia lived but now all it is are ruins and nothing.
When Akuma reached the Main Ruins of Shandora which comes before Upper Ruins, he was stunned for a while.
Exactly a fallen golden city of Shandora. Looking around, Akuma finally came across the Shandorian Poneglyph Chamber.
The huge golden building was covered by some clouds which made it a little time consuming to search for.
Inside, Akuma found the Poneglyph. But as he tried to remember, he knew that it could contain information about the 'Golden Bell'.
* * *
Trebo and Leo with Trick, surrounded the giant snake named Nola. Each took a side to border it.
"I want the tail!, " Said Trick, his body slowly expanded and he became a bloodthirsty Direwolf.
"I shall take the head!, " Said Trebo, his figure changed into an eagle while his arms remained but with claws. (Not hybrid)
"But I will take the lead!, " Saying so, Leo turned into a giant lion with majestic fur and leaped towards Nola.
