Guess Who?

It had been a few months since Ephon and Diana left Nature's Triangle on their sightseeing date, their ship sailed leisurely through the vast expanse of the sea, the sun cast its golden rays upon the azure waters, painting the horizon with hues of orange and pink. 

"What do you think Hercule is doing right now E?" Laying on the decks of their ship, Diana suddenly asked.

"Who knows, the last time I talked to him, he was still a Rear Admiral, and has been a Rear Admiral for a while now, but I don't think that'll affect his plans." Ephon answered.

"So what if he's a Rear Admiral, the Navy doesn't deserve my baby anyways." Diana pouted.

"You're almost 80 Diana, you should act your age." Ephon said mockingly as he tried to restrain his laugh.

"What did you say! Don't you see that this lady is in the prime of her youth, look at my skin, and my hair, you're the old one…"

'Sigh.. now look at what I've caused' Ephon thought as Diana rambled away, but the smile on his face as he stared at Diana rambling away, revealed his true emotion.

"Huh.. I guess our sightseeing journey is about to be interrupted." Ephon uttered out loud as stood up, staring into the horizon, it seemed that he may have sensed something with his Observation Haki.

"What are you talking about E?" Diana asked, puzzled.

"You'll see soon enough."

As their ship sailed further into the distance they stumbled upon a scene that made them upset. In the distance, a ship they both knew was a World Government ship loomed on the rowdy sea waters in the horizon, its imposing silhouette a stark contrast to the serene beauty of the sea.

 As they drew closer, the couple's hearts felt heavy at the sight that unfolded before them. On the deck of what they believed to be a the World Government vessel, a group of armed Cipher Pol soldiers stood watch over a throng of captives, their faces etched with fear and despair. 

Both Ephon and Diana immediately knew what they were witnessing, slave trafficking, people caught to be used for human experiments, deadly games and the entertainment of their buyers.

"I'll go E, I've always wanted to destroy one of these." Diana offered, and before Ephon could answer, she had already 'Moon Stepped' into the air towards the WG ship. Ephon didn't try to stop her and simply follow along.

As the two approached the ship, the Cipher Pol agents on deck immediately spotted them, and alerted everyone on board.

"That's one of the Marine Six Style 'Moon Step', who are those two?" A masked agent questioned aloud, gazing at the other agents on deck, it seemed that he was the leader.

But the other agents all shook their heads, unable to identify the two, it was too late to stop them anyways, because before the agent realized it, the two had already appeared on the deck of their ship.

Which shocked all the agents, they swore they had only blinked for a second, from the time they saw the two moons stepped into the air, to the time they landed on their ship, it might have only taken 1 or 2 seconds.

"Who..who are you?" The masked agent questioned nervously, his nerves were off the charts right now, as he stared at the two figures before him, he felt the immense aura eminating from the two's body.

The other agents weren't any better either, they were drenched in sweat and some even found it hard to breathe.

The thing is, the masked man was sure that these two weren't using Conqueror's Haki, which made him even more nervous.

But this was to be expected of them, since even him, as a member of Cp0 was having such a hard time, it would be surprising if the other ordinary Cps were faring any better.

Only the chained slaves on deck stared at this scene puzzled and filled with curiosity, but their fear of the Cp agents kept them in place.

"You aren't worthy of knowing my name!"

As the words left her mouth, Diana drew her sword, its blade gleaming with an otherworldly light as she infused it with her Haki, which seemed to have affected the weather, as the beautiful white clouds turned dark casting a gloomy atmosphere over everyone.

'Woosh!' 'Sqwelp!' "Aww!" 'Swoosh!' 'Shunk!' "Help!" 'Plorkk!' 

With a swift and fluid motion, Diana launched herself into action, her movements a blur of speed and precision as she struck out with deadly accuracy.

"Shoot her! 'Pew!' 'pew!'." an agent shouted as he shoot at Diana, but she didn't even dodge the bullets, because as they made contact with her skin 'Clang!' they bounced off of her.

This was her body's natural strength and defense after gaining part of Ephon's Sage Body.

No Haki was used, and this freaked out the remaining agents, they were literally going insane, some looked upon the masked Cp0 agent for support.

But the masked man was frozen in placed, like an invisible hand was keeping him at bay, and looking at Ephon's gaze, he could guess who was the cause of his situation. 

Some of the Cp agents managed to muster up their courage to put up a fight, only to be sliced apart, the masked Cp agent watched in shock and fright as his fellow agents were mowed down.

"Aww!"

Looking at the last agent being beheaded, the masked Cp0 agent still stood stuck in place, although one couldn't see his face under his mask, his legs trembling legs clearly expose his emotions, 

Diana walked back to the side of Ephon, her mood seemed to have been alleviated.

"Now let's figure out what they had planned to do with these slaves." Ephon muttered as he patted Diana's head lightly.

"You! 'Rumble!' What did you guys plan to do with these tortured souls, and don't lie to me." Ephon commanded, this time, green and black thunder burst through the dark clouds hitting the surrounding waters.

'Zap - pow' 

"They are to be used as experiments for the World Government, that's all I know." The masked man said trembling, shocked by the fact that he had revealed such information so easily.

Realizing that he was most likely to have failed his mission, which meant his end would be death, the Cp0 agent started to calm down and stared closely at the young face of Ephon, he was not scared of death, not anymore, and he was prepared to die, at least he believed so.

'What kind of monsters are these two, so young, and yet they posses such a frightening presence, and this young man... I don't think there is anyone like him… Wait!?'

As if he had discovered something, the man's eyes widened in fright, "You.. You're 'The Wrath of Nature''' the masked man exclaimed out loud in shock.

"Oh.. it seems that the World Government hasn't been slacking off, but you don't get a prize for your answer 'Shunk!'."

As Ephon finished his sentence, a sharp wooden Haki covered spike grew out of the ground under the masked man, catching him unprepared, and turning him into a human skewer.

'Tud!'

As the last of the agents fell to the deck, defeated and dead, the slaves could scarcely believe what their eyes were seeing, some had already accepted their fate after being captured, but they now saw hope. 

Diana stood beside Ephon and watched his entire interaction with the man without batting an eye, and when he finally killed the Cp0 agent, she turned her gaze in the direction of the chained slaves, who flinched upon noticing her gaze. 

She then walked towards the slaves and one by one, broke the chains that bound them, Ephon also joined along.

"Thank you young man! bless you, ohh bless you!"

"Mommy! Mommy!"

As the slaves were being freed, they cried in joy and thanked Ephon and Diana. Some kids cried as they could finally hug their parents, but some were still filled with sadness, it seemed that not all of them made it this far, or maybe they didn't have a home to return to.

A smile took over Ephon's face as he observed the now freed slaves, but deep down he felt a heavy feeling in his heart. 

But that didn't stop him, as he continued freeing the rest of the slaves, but as he approached the last slave, who was kept below the deck of the ship, he paused in surprise.

Before him was a giant bulky kid, with two horns on his head, shoulder-length black hair, with a scarf, wearing a belt across his torso, with a torn sleeveless jacket, and his hands tied to giant iron chains.

'Kaido!?'
