38 More Chaos

Author Note: Sorry for disappearing fro a few days. I was just busy with other things. I hope you enjoy the chapter :)

Abel punched Crocodile on the face, slamming him to the wet floor. Abel laughed as he took out Aranruth and swung it to the wet Crocodile freely. Dozens of sword images appeared and attacked Crocodile from 3 different directions. Crocodile who stood up barely, hurriedly backed off to the place Abel baited him to. Crocodile's face turned pale as he realized he was being played, his left arm was slashed and nearly cut off. Crocodile parried the next attack from Abel with his hook and tried to defend himself with his sand walls.

'' Seems like you can't do anything without the help of your devil fruit. No wonder you lost to Whitebeard. You are so weak!'' Abel trashtalked casually. Crocodile glared at him furiously and sent a sharp sand wave at Abel, who dodged it pretty easily thanks to rain weakening all of Crocodile's attacks.

'Relationship updated with Crocodile. Current relationship -65(Hatred)'

Naturally losing to a man titled the most powerful person on planet was nothing shameful. But since Crocodile was an arrogant person, Abel wouldn't miss the chance to farm some negative relationships from him.

-Heavy Rain (7 minutes)-

Abel casually checked the weather report from the system. ' I can kill him at least 3 times with remaining time, but I farmed enough.' Even though Abel wanted to play around and farm Crocodile more to receive an even higher reward, he wasn't sure if his crew could handle the rest succesfully. So he decided to finish Crocodile early to help them out.

'Ghost Steps' Abel dodged the weakened sand attacks easily and attacked Crocodile from his side with Aranruth. Crocodile's face turned pale as he didn't hesitate and rolled behind on the wet floor to avoid it. Abel's sword followed Crocodile on the floor to finish him but then an unexpected thing happened as the door of a shop close to the road turned into a sand spike and attacked Abel from his blind spot. Abel's heart jumped as he detected the attack with his observation haki and immediately changed Aranruth's direction to block it.

' Awakened devil fruit user 6 years before canon? How did Luffy even handle this guy!?' Abel was a little surprised but still casual.

'' At least you developed your devil fruit to some degree, unfortunately you won't be able to win with just this. The heavens favor the handsome!'' Abel laughed heartily and dodged the sand attacks from Crocodile using Ghost Step, afterwards he slashed at Crocodile at all directions. Crocodile tried to resist but more and more injuries piled up as Abel attacked without any mercy.

'Formless Sword Art'

4 sword attacks appeared at the same time cornering Crocodile in the middle again. Crocodile gritted his teeth and tried to force his way out of the sword's range. However just 2 seconds later Crocodile backed away with a pale and horrified face, his right hand refleksively checked his left arm. Unfortunately his left arm was not connected with his body anymore. Blood flowed out of Crocodile as he looked at Abel's cold eyes. Even though Abel was talking trash and seemingly having fun, he never made any unnecessary moves nor was he distracted, his trashtalk was to distract Crocodile while farming him.

'' Tsk, tsk... As expected. Making such a mistake proves that even though you are very famous, you are just a rookie in the end.'' Abel concluded as if he is a seniour pointing out his juniour's mistakes. Crocodile looked on as Abel who had no name and was younger than him lecture him.

'' Damn you! You are not even qualified to be a rooki-''

Before Crocodile could vent his emotions Abel swung Aranruth to his wet throat with his fastest move. Crocodile's eyes widened with shock as he realised there were no time left for him to dodge. This slash's timing was perfect and it wasn't possible for Crocodile to dodge it. Abel sighed inside.

' Do you think I am an anime villain that would give you time to turn things around? No way! Go, die already!'

A split second later a metallic sound echoed as people watched a person block Abel's attack with one arm.

'' Tekkai''

Abel's eyes opened in shock since he recognized this technique. ' Fuck! What is Cp-9 doing here? Did I destroy the canon this much already?'

Norris looked at Abel warily as well. ' Who is this person? To push Crocodile to this degree...'

Nana who was about to get caught and killed by Norris heaved a sigh of relief finally. Even though Barbossa gained her some time, Norris was much faster than her and thus caught up rather quickly. Norris was just about to finish her off when he saw Crocodile's life was in danger and decided to save him instead.

Abel's face grew darker as he looked at his status window.

- Heavy Rain (6 minutes remaining)-

Nana came beside Abel as if expecting praise and started speaking.

'' Captain, did I do well? İt was me who broadcasted the entire thing. I also have proof about Crocodile. Ah... But Barbossa-''

Crocodile turned towards her with a dark face and sent a sand attack immediately. The person he hated the most after Abel was the unknown broadcaster. Abel blocked the attack while glaring at Nana. ' İs it the time now!?'

Abel turned at Nana with a warm smile. '' You did very well. Now... GET LOST!''

'' AHHHH!''

Crocodile and Norris blankly watched as Abel threw Nana at a distance. ' I can't deal with Nana while fighting.'

Abel turned towards Norris and acted like he hasn't discovered his identity. He spoke casually.

'' I don't know who you are but you shouldn't ally with this person. The rumors about him being a warlord is completely wrong. His misdeeds are already broadcasted and whole kingdom knows about it. I also have the evidence collected. There is no way government will ally with him anymore.''

Even though Abel acted like he didn't know he was from Cp-9, he hinted that Crocodile's potential status was already gone. A calculating look appeared in Abel's eyes.

' Why is even Cp-9 here? I have 6 minutes remaining to finish Crocodile in a clean way. I need to avoid fighting with this guy.' Abel also used scan and realised that this man's stats was not lower than him. İn fact, it was even slightly higher. Abel was still confident he could beat him in a 1v1 though because of his legendary skills.

'1v2 on the other hand is completely different.'

Norris frowned as he reconsidered allying with Crocodile. ' İt might not be worth to offend such a person to ally with Crocodile.' After a few seconds Norris decided it was not worth to fight with Abel to ally with Crocodile since his potential status was gone, they could search that person on their own. İf they fought with Abel, their operation might be in danger.

Just as Norris turned around to leave, Crocodile started speaking franctically.

'' Help me fight him! There is a secret at Alabasta! A ponegliph-''

Abel immediately attacked to cut him off but it was already too late. Norris stopped as he once again blocked Abel.

'' İs that right?''

'' Yes! I stole the location from royal family. İf you help me I will not only help you finding that person, I will also give you the location of ponegliph!'' Crocodile admitted everything at that moment. He knew the moment Norris left, he would die in this weakened state.

'Fuck!' Abel cursed as he wondered about what operation they are in.

Norris smiled lightly as he turned to face Abel.

'' That changes everything. Your underlings also annoyed me very much. Let me vent on you.'' Norris immediately sent a punch towards Abel who met with his own ultimate punch. They were both sent backwards. Abel sighed as he dodged a sneak attack from Crocodile and cursed towards the sky.

' I know I am handsome, cool and talented. But you don't need to make my job hard everytime!'

[ A bar close to the Alubarna Castle]

Bernard punched at Blueno once again. No one around knew how much punch this seemingly mad person threw at Blueno but it was not anything less than a hundred. Blueno had some bloodstains on the corner of his mouth but Bernard's situation was much more dire. Blood was flowing from every corner of his body as his body kept trembling. Blueno shivered as he watched the person in front of him. ' He is mad. A true madman!'

'' Tekkai''

Blueno took the punch again while using tekkai but this time he immediately coughed blood. ' This guy already broke his limits multiple times. When will he fucking die!?' Blueno was furious.

'Shigan'

Blueno sent his finger towards Bernard's throat in a tricky angle to end the fight quickly. Bernard didn't seem to care as he sent another punch towards Blueno's face ignoring his attack completely. Blueno hesitated for a split second while Bernard didn't hesitate at all. İn the end Bernard's punch arrived a third of a second earlier and smashed at Blueno's face breaking his nose. Blueno's attack missed because of the impact from Bernard's punch and instead of his throat it landed on his shoulder. Blueno shivered as he looked at Bernard whose fighting style was nothing but crazed and reckless attacks. Blueno couldn't fight with him as if he was fighting a normal person. He couldn't understand Bernard's next move because his thought process was impossible to crack.

Blueno stood up and they exchanged attacks for a while again. Bernard was still on the losing end of this exchange but this time Blueno was also getting damaged seriously.

'' Tekkai!'' Blueone used tekkai to take a crazed punch from Bernard but was stunned when Bernard froze on the spot.

Bernard looked at the sky and saw a bird flying. This bird reminded him of a bird he became friends with when he was a child. Bernard wondered if it was the same bird? But then Bernard realized he ate that bird the same day and was relieved. ' İt is not him!' After Bernard realized his mistake he turned to Blueno who was waiting in an awkward defensive pose while trying to understand what Bernard was thinking. Bernard frowned as he punched at his face while roaring.

'' Are all small fries dumb? Why are you waiting!?''

Blueno who tried to guess what Bernard was thinking met with his unexpected punch and was sent flying again. His head was spinning. ' I can't understand this bastard's strategy. What sort of shitty fighting style is this!'

Blueno looked at Bernard warily and stood up again.

' I can't underestimate this bastard. He is tricky.'

İf he knew Bernard was just reminiscent of his childhood memories, he would probably die from emberassment. But he didn't. So he cautiously tried to analyze and counter Bernard's random stlye helplessly.

[ Ruins( İt was a street once)]

Cavendish frowned as he watched Mr.1 stand up again. He gritted his teeth as he cursed. ' He is just like an ugly insect. Whenever I push him down, he stoods up again.'

Mr.1 once again charged at Cavendish as Cavendish helplessly blocked him as much as he can. After several minutes Cavendish's body was covered in injuries. Cavendish hit Mr.1 at his throat with the tip of his sword and sent him flying again. Mr1. Crushed into a stone ruin and coughed blood but stood up again as if this was natural. Cavendish felt his legs trembling. He knew he was about to hit his limit.

' I couldn't even cut him properly once. İs this where I am at right now? Genius? What a joke!' Cavendish gritted his teeth as he slashed at Mr.1 who blocked the weakened Cavendish easily.

Mr.1 looked at him as he spoke calmly.

'' I told you. I win this duel.'' Mr.1 didn't hesitate as he slashed at Cavendish's chest ruthlessly with his arms. Blood flowed out as Cavendish dropped to his knees. His eyes blurred as he watched Mr.1 who was still standing.

'I am unresigned. Let me... cut him at least once. İt is okay even if I die afterwards.' Cavendish stood up shakily while Mr.1 watched him calmly.

'' İt is time for you to sleep.'' Mr.1 slashed at his neck while Cavendish dodged him while stumbling. Cavendish slashed at Mr.1, this time using the body of his sword. This slash was more like a reflex rather than a conscious attack. The slash came out naturally and fast as if Cavendish was at his peak condition. Mr.1 's eyes widened as he saw his chest bleeding from the slash.

'' You... really are a true genius.'' Mr.1 was amazed but still calm. Unfortunately Cavendish couldn't hear the praise from his opponent as he was already knocked out from tiredness and exhaustion. Mr.1 watched him calmly and lamented.

'' Such a shame. For such a genius to die at a place like this.'' After that, Mr.1 left without turning back. But before he could take 2 steps he fell to the ground on his knees. Mr.1 was stunned as he tried to get up but only coughed blood as his chest and legs hurt.

'My insides are already this damaged?'

Mr.1 looked at the unconciouss Cavendish and felt a chill. ' İf he didn't faint, I would have died.'

Mr.1 sighed as he realized that this person whom he considered weaker than him already surprassed him with this battle. He also couldn't move so he just stayed on the floor as he closed his eyes. A few seconds later he opened his eyes with a frown as he heard a metallic voice coming below. He took the metallic thing and realised this was a rather expensive looking ring.

'' A ring?'' He muttered but felt a chill at his back. He turned his face back with panic.

'' Y-You are still standing? What is that creepy look on your face!? Hey. Answer me-''

Before he could finish his sentence he was slashed by Hakuba dozens of time and fell to the floor bleeding. Frighteningly Hakuba seemed to learn the things Cavendish managed to learn before falling unconciouss. After a few seconds it wasn't clear if Mr.1 was alive or dead as he laid on the floor in a pool of his blood. Unfortunately Hakuba didn't stop there as he rushed outside the Capital while killing anyone and anything on his path. People screamed and buildings got destroyed as Hakuba runned with a speed unvisible to the normal people.

'' AHHHH!''

'' Stay away from the main road! There is something there! STAY AWAY!''

People screamed as they got away from the main road and watched as a gust of wind carrying slaughter left the Capital.
