New Weapons

Once Nyx and Mihawk went back into the hallway, P-17 was there to guide them to their rooms once receiving information from Vegapunk through the snail he had.

As Nyx and Mihawk followed P-17 through the white metallic hallway, Mihawk suddenly asked a question.

"I didn't seem to sense any living inhabitants in the near vicinity of the facility, is it only Vegapunk? No offense to you or the robots." Mihawk questioned bluntly as he glanced around at the experiments being placed through the windows on each side of the hallway.

"None taken and as for your inquiry, yes Dr.Vegapunk is the only living human on this island. There used to be other fellow scientists but they left a few years ago. But everything you see here was completely created and improved by Dr.Vegapunk himself, which means every single robot, including myself was made by his hands." P-17 replied as he turned right and continued walking with them right behind.

Mihawk silently nodded and suddenly slightly extended his left arm out toward Nyx once noticing his triumphant smile.

'From what Nyx told me, this Dr.Vegapunk is practically the smartest scientist in the world and I'm starting to believe that. It's impressive how he got us an ally that simply.' Mihawk thought inwardly as Nyx fist-bumped him back.

'I never fail to impress.'

Is what Mihawk read from Nyx's smirk as he simply rolled his eyes.

"By the way, do I actually have weak legs?" Mihawk suddenly whispered toward Nyx.

"Of course not..."

Mihawk sighed in relief...

"Your overall body is weak not just your legs." Nyx whispered back with a wink.

Until his eyes widened, as he was about to retort, P-17 stopped in front of a circular metal vault that was the end of the hallway.

Mihawk chose to ignore Nyx's comment as they both looked curiously toward P-17 who turned around and faced them.

"The Doctor has instructed me to tell you guys that if you wish, you can choose some weapons and accessories from our arsenal vault under my supervision but if you're tired, you can simply come back tomorrow." P-17 explained as he waited for their decision.

Mihawk narrowed his eyes in suspicion, wondering what the catch is but Nyx himself was chuckling inwardly.

'So he's tryna butter us up, what a sly old man.' Nyx glanced toward Mihawk and nodded his head, indicating that it was fine.

'I suppose it's fine, he had dozens of traps on the ground outside that could have activated when we first arrived and as we walked through the snowy atmosphere, Nyx probably also noticed the same. Plus the doctor seems to hold no ill intentions against us.' Mihawk nodded back toward Nyx once thinking about the situation.

"Lead the way." Nyx confirmed as he extended his hand toward the vault.

P-17 nodded and put his face near the vault as some sort of scanning system scanned his eyes.

Clink!

The vault made a clicking noise and P-17 pulled the heavy metal door open with slight difficulty.

Once P-17 entered, they followed behind him and looked around with interest.

It was a large wooden interior armory with racks of weapons all around with even multiple different types of metal armors hanging from above.

"Who the hell uses metal armors?" Nyx scoffed with a smirk.

"Well I was told that back in the old days, armors like these were very useful but the doctor said their simply there because he likes to research old metals." P-17 explained as they went down a few steps and into the center of the armory.

"I see."

"Well, you guys can get whatever you want in this room but clearly don't overdo it, I'll be waiting right here. And trust me, I will know if you try to steal." P-17's bright blue eye's slightly darkened at his last threatening words.

Nyx and Mihawk ignored it and separated to explore the room.

Nyx walked up to a rack of spears that had multiple different designs.

'Not much of a spear guy, I'm more of a close-ranged guy. I usually fight with my fists but using a weapon for certain attacks wouldn't be too bad.'

Nyx walked away from the spear rack and walked a few steps to the left, where there seemed to be a wall rack of swords.

'I'm not too skillful when it comes to the sword, I tried to improve after my fight with Mihawk and I was not going anywhere with it.' Nyx lightly laughed as he ran his finger over one of the swords before walking across the room toward a certain wall rack of weapons.

He stopped and stared in front of him with interested eyes.

'This might work, even if it doesn't, I can simply change weapons or stick to my fists.'

Nyx grabbed the weapons and started to walk around the armory to see if there was a better weapons but eventually just walked back toward P-17 who looked down at the two weapons in Nyx's hands.

"That's all?" P-17 questioned with an intrigued expression.

Nyx was currently holding two hatchets in each hand as he smirked, they had double sharp silver heads, with a golden design/pattern on them.

"Yeah, while this choice of weapon is quite unusual, I think it will assimilate with my hand-to-hand combats over time, plus the material seems quite durable." Nyx remarked.

"I see." P-17 nodded in understanding before noticing Mihawk also approaching from behind Nyx.

Mihawk stopped beside Nyx as he carried a black box on the top of his shoulders, he opened the black box for P-17 to see the contents, who in turn nodded in confirmation.

"Nice sword but what is the point of that baby sword?" Nyx looked at the black sword with some red designed patterns that was over 5 feet long but on top of it was a very small-sized sword.

"When I become the strongest swordsman in the future, I'm going to need a sword that will be used against those who are weak." Mihawk simply explained as he closed the box and put it back over his shoulder.

"Haha, nice idea." Nyx lightly laughed as patted the back of Mihawk's shoulder.

He remembered Zoro getting his ass handed to him by that small sword.

'It seems manifesting your dreams, truly does help you to achieve them.' Nyx thought inwardly.

"Before we leave, I'm not sure if you guys noticed but both of your weapons are quite special. Long story short, your hatchets are called the Leviathan Axes and were actually technologically improved for them to magnetically come back to you and to also fuse, I will explain how that works later. And the sword you chose, it's name is Balmung and is equivalent to what you guys would call the 21 Great Grade Swords, while it's not famous, trust me when I say it's just as powerful." P-17 briefly explained as he first pointed toward Nyx's hatchets, then Mihawk's sword.

Nyx and Mihawk nodded satisfied with the weapons of their choice and followed behind P-17 who guided them out of the room.

Clink!

P-17 closed the door behind him and started to guide the two to their room quarters.

"Actually I'm quite curious if you don't mind." P-17 suddenly spoke as he continued to walk ahead.

"Shoot." Nyx replied with his hands behind his head as he walked.

"Shoot?- Whatever. My question was, how is the outside world really like? I've only ever seen some images from news paper." P-17 was momentarily confused but nonetheless asked his question.

Nyx had a mysterious smile as he spoke.

"The world is simply how you wanna perceive it as, and in order to perceive it, you need to experience it yourself."

P-17 was about to ask another question when he suddenly stopped in front of two doors.

"Well, I still have questions but I can simply ask them at another time. These are your resting quarters, there is some stored food, spare clothes, with other accessories if needed inside your quarter. If you need something, you can come to find me by the entrance, I'll be doing some maintenance on my body." P-17 stated before heading off.

Once they were left alone, Mihawk and Nyx looked at each before entering their rooms.

"I know you came here so the Doctor could teach you how to use your powers more efficiently, but are you sure you wanna reveal everything?" Mihawk questioned.

"Don't worry, I got it handled. I think they don't care if we explore, so you can do that if you want, but I'm just gonna chill in my room for now." Nyx simply waved bye as he entered his room.

Mihawk just shrugged and went to explore the facility since he wasn't tired.

On the Red line, Mary Geoise, the base/land of the World Government could be seen, and the Pangea Castle, where all the Celestial Dragons reside could be seen.

In a certain office room of the Pangea Castle, Kong could be seen as he stood tall in front of five elderly men who were all relaxing on couches as they listened to what he said.

"In conclusion, I believe the mythical devil fruit user of Tatsu-Tatsu no Mi has emerged." Kong resolutely stated with his hands behind his back.

The elder's eyes around the table widened before one of the more calmer ones asked a question.

"And how credible is this information?"

"One of my subordinates believes to have seen a devil fruit user that could use more then one ability-"

" "Believes"!? Are you telling me you came to us based on a belief and not a cold hard fact?" The old man with a walking stick questioned as he cut off Kong.

Kong hesitated but nodded nonetheless,

"Yes."

"*Sigh* Just send us a report next time, rather than wasting our time. But regardless this is a credible threat, so put a bounty on what you decide on them, and if they are fake then that's good. But if what your subordinate says is actually true, then promptly warn us and we will come up with measures to deal with said opponent." The old man sighed as his eyes grew more and more serious as he spoke.

"Yes sir." Kong simply nodded before leaving.

As soon as Kong left, the old men started talking with each other.

"Hopefully what he says is just a mistake on the soldiers part, but if not-"

"Then we might be in danger."

One of the old men finished his sentence.

"For now we will adjourn this meeting, I have some pressing matters to deal with." The man with the walking stick stated as they all got up to leave.

It was the next day and Nyx was currently in the training room with Dr.Vegapunk.

Earlier they had a conversation about the agreement/alliance, which in simple terms complied with, Nyx letting Vegapunk use his powers for some of his experiments if only Nyx is fine with it and Vegapunk has to help Nyx use his powers better and help understand them.

They haven't completely finalized it yet but that was the general idea for now.

The training room had a silver/gray marble floor, some pillars surrounding it, and a silver marble wall.

Both Nyx and Dr.Vegapunk were in the center.

"Time to being your training!" Vegapunk grinned widely.
