The Island Smasher!

" EARTHS Embrace!"

The very island itself morphed, and a giant wave the size of a mountain appeared.

" Die, buried under the planet itself!" Terris exclaimed. His rage was unpalpable. Terris was wasting no chances in taking these two men out, as soon as possible.

Markus and Jinshi saw the wave coming at them, but the sheer size of it, made it so that no amount of running they did would allow them to escape.

' Damn it.' Goenma cursed. He was struggling to get free from Terris' rock pillar, forcing him to watch helplessly, as his own lifeguards were about to taken out.

The wave came crashing down over their heads, however, right before it consumed them completely, a gust of wind came through and swept Jinshi and Markus away.

" I refuse to die like this." Markus exclaimed. He started kicking the air behind him and rushed towards the ocean, avoiding the numerous spikes that shot out of the earth wave as he crossed the tree line.

" Keep going." Jinshi told the man. He shifted in the air

" What are you doing?"

Jinshi didn't reply.

Markus was a little irritated with the man's refusal to explain himself, but giving the current situation, he didn't have the energy to argue. He was too busy running for his life, and if whatever Jinshi had in mind worked, then he would gladly let it go.

Jinshi took in a deep breath, and expelled it all from his lungs, resulting him firing a single burst of air from his mouth, that shot him and Markus away from the approaching wave like a missile.

Jinshi and Markus went rocketing through the sky, and though it seemed like it was going to work, Markus noticed that they were still getting chased.

" Damn it." Jinshi cursed.

Thankfully, Markus and Jinshi were saved by the timely arrival of Goenma, who had finally managed to free himself of Terris' control.

" Don't worry. I have you." Gonema remarked. He grabbed Markus and Jinshi in his talons and carried them high above the wave of earth, which finally crashed into the sea, and hardened, forming a large path of rock and dirt that led further out into the sea.

There was a strong sense of relief that washed over the two men. Goenma showing hup when he did and saving them, allowed them to rest peacefully, even if it was only for a moment of time.

" Tch. They managed to escape that. Lucky them." Terris muttered. He didn't seem either bothered nor happy to see that Markus and Jinshi survived the collapse. But then again, even he was beginning to get more and more irritated by the ability these men had to survive. " Seriously? How hard is it to kill three men who are already on death's door?" Terris asked himself. " I'm almost embarrassed in myself." The man proclaimed.

Goenma, dropped Markus and Jinshi onto the island, before transforming back to his human form and collapsing next to them himself.

" Are you alright, Goenma?" Markus asked the man.

" I'm not gonna lie... I'm not used to seeing this much of my own blood anymore. I think... I think I could really use a drink." Goenma joked with Markus. But truth be told, his body was feeling numb. The fact that he could even move at this point was nothing short of a miracle.

" I knew Terris was a monster. But I didn't expect him to be this powerful. To literally be able to change the terrain itself...." Jinshi muttered.

The three men watched as Terris stalked towards them. His every step made the ground around them shake.

" Lava Monster!"

Terris slammed his palm into the ground and created a large pool of magma, which was created by forcing the earth to spin and rotate at such a speed that the very rock turned to magma and sent a large wave of it rushing right towards Markus and the others.

Markus and the others were swallowed up by the sudden surprise attack and burned to death in a pool of magma.

" Huh?" Or so Markus thought. ' What was that?' Markus asked himself. " Huh?"

Terris suddenly stopped and raised his hand upwards and slammed his hand on the ground.

" Lava Monster!" Terris shouted.

Seeing this Markus immediately grabbed Jinshi and Goenma. " MOVE!" Markus shouted. He took the two men and jumped into the air with them, just barely avoiding being swallowed up, by the pool of lava that had consumed the very location, they had occupied only moments ago.

This surprised Terris greatly.

" Did he just?" Terris muttered under his breath.

" What the?" Jinshi muttered.

" Good timing, Marine. That was a little close." Goenma said to Markus. He himself hadn't even seen the attack coming. In his mind, Goenma knew he would have died right there if it weren't for Markus' quick thinking.

Markus landed and dropped the two of them, before turning back to Terris. " Don't mention it." Markus told the two men.

[Tendrils- The Invisibles]

Terris grabbed his staff and placed it over his shoulders, and then he started walking towards Markus and the others. " Boy, it seems I've been underestimating you. I didn't think, you'd have the capability." Terris spoke. " Forgive me for that." Terris twirled his staff and a moment later he exploded forward, the very ground beneath his upheaving itself from the force of his movement.

Jinshi, Goenma, and Markus summoned their strength and rushed Terris together. Jinshi jumped at Terris, attacking first. He tried to punch the man, but Terris dodged it easily and backhanded Jinshi in the back of his neck sending him flying.

Goenma tried taking advantage of Terris having his back turned, but before he could cut the man, Terris quickly turned around and slammed his staff into the side of Goenma's head.

Markus was the last one to attack, jumping above Terris head to try and kick the man, unfortunately, Terris quickly spun around and slammed his heel into Markus' chin.

In just a few short seconds, Terris had once again completely overpowered the three men.

The three men quickly jumped backwards and regrouped.

" Do you think three against one will do you any good? Do you really think you have enough power to beat me?" Terris asked. " Come on! HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Terris laughed manically as he raced towards Markus and the others.

Markus rushed towards Terris, and in an instant Terris had taken him off of his feet, with a devastating clothesline.

Terris was getting ready to finish Markus off, when Jinshi appeared behind him with his hands raised over his head. " BLACK LION'S JAW!" Jinshi slammed his hands downwards and Terris raised his staff to block it.

' There!' Markus, seeing his guard broken, grabbed one of Terris' legs and kicked the other one out from under him, staggering him.

Goenma lunged at Terris and tried to cut him across his back.

Thinking fast, Terris spun on his off leg and blocked Goenma's blade with his staff, which left his side completely open.

" Black Lion's Crushing Fist!" Jinshi slammed his fist into Terris' side.

" Black star!" Markus quickly leaped off of the ground and slammed his fist into Terris' back.

Jinshi and Markus, weren't going to waste this opportunity. They both began throwing Machine Gun like blows into Terris.

' They're attacking together again. They must be getting desperate. Good.' Terris remarked. Though he was beginning to be overpowered, Terris was finding it fun. He smirked.

Seeing this only infuriated Jinshi.

Even as they attacked him together, Markus and Jinshi knew that their attacks weren't doing enough damage.

" Lightning blade!" Goenma jumped towards Terris, with his lightning blade. With Markus and Jinshi pinning Terris in one place, there was no way that his attack could miss. Or so he thought.

But Terris wasn't about to be beaten by such a simple tactic.

Terris shifted his balance and dropped to the floor and spun his leg around, sweeping all three men off of their feet. He then spun around again, and caught all three of them, Markus, Goenma, and Jinshi, on his leg and sent them flying across the battlefield.

Jinshi quickly caught himself and jumped back up to his feet, but by the time he had, Terris was already in his face again.

Terris clotheslined Jinshi and drug him off of the desolate battlefield, and back towards the city lamming him through multiple trees, until he finally let go and allowed Jinshi to go flying.

Markus and Goenma tried following after the men, but as they were running through the woods, Terris suddenly appeared from the darkness and clotheslined both of them and did to them, what he had done to Jinshi.

Terris slammed Goenma face first through a tree and dropped him, while he continued carrying Markus forward for quite some distance.

" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Terris laughed like a maniac as he continued slamming Markus through tree after tree, until finally he firmly planted him through the base of a large plateau.

" UGHHH!!!" Markus shouted.

" Hm? Still not dead yet. Your strength is commendable!" Terris told the man. Terris jumped backwards and then slammed the palm of his hand into Markus' stomach, pushing completely through the plateau and out the other side.

Markus laid on the ground, motionless. His nose and mouth leaked blood. His eyes were completely whited out.

" Well, looks like it's' finally over huh? I gotta give you credit, where it's due. You came closer than most." Terris told the man. " Huh?" As Terris was remarking his victory over the three men, he looked down at the look on Markus' face and found himself grinning. " Heh. Your spirit is truly something. Even now.... Unconscious and defenseless... You're glaring at me. You would have made a hell of marine someday... But. This is where your journey ends. Say goodnight brat!"

Terris raised his staff and brought it down to smash in Markus' skull and finally end the man's young life.

* Swish!

" ICE BALL!!!"

Sensing the sudden shift in the air, Terris jumped backwards and narrowly avoided being caught in a flurry of ice.

[Luffy's fierce attack-Ost]

" Who the hell are you?" Terris asked as he turned and faced his new challenger.

" Sorry. But I'm gonna need you to get out of the way. That guy happens to be a friend of mine."

At the last moment, Markus is saved by the timely arrival of Vice Admiral Kuzan!!!

Kuzan and Terris stared each other down, assessing each other closely.

' This one's strong.' Terris noted.

" This guy's a monster. What a pain." Kuzan muttered. Kuzan's gaze lowered down to Markus, who was lying on the ground, momentarily, and then back to Terris, and his eyes beneath his glasses narrowed.
