Chapter 22 - Intruders (22)

"Come, come on guys, let's go see what that burst of energy was!" The captain was all giddy, jumping up and down as if this was the most fun he'd had in a while.

"Are you stupid? Whatever that thing was, it clearly doesn't want us here!" Nami shouted at her idiot captain, who still seemed so giddy.

Usopp really wanted to leave right now. He even had the log pose for no reason but plot reason. He watched as said log pose was loading—shit.

As a brave warrior of the sea, for the safety of the villain, he shall stay in the boat, hid—he meant guarding it from the villain.

"They have dinosaurs!" Lights could be seen coming from Luffy's eyes as he saw the big dino on the island. He couldn't believe it—this place was so cool. The only way this could be better was if he found a ninja on the island.

Vivi, meanwhile, turned to Nami, saying,

"How long till the log pose resets?"

"I don't know, it usually takes a couple days." Vivi's brow furrowed a bit, her mind still on her people back in Alabasta. She didn't want to waste this time, yet at the same time, she didn't want to press her new friends about stuff like this.

So she held back.

While they were discussing and Luffy was demanding food, on the other side of the island—

In a wax house, Mr. 3 could be seen drinking some coffee, that good shit.

Next to him was a painter girl, alongside other people. TLDR, the room was filled with...

Mr. 3, Miss Goldenweek, Mr. 5, Miss Valentine.

And they were all currently tied up.

In front of them, Kairo could be seen, his hand holding the sheath of his sword, his wings currently hidden alongside his fire. All the enemy saw was a towering figure over them. He was currently 15 feet tall—yes, he had grown from the last time he was seen.

He was quite tall now.

Anyway, his gaze would land on them.

"What is your purpose on this island?" he asked, his blade pressed against their throats.

As for when and how the fuck he captured them—after that blast of haki, he simply rushed toward their location and knocked them out before they could even react. They were so damn slow, even with flame on he could blitz them before they realized shit was wrong.

"Who are you? Are you part of that damn Strawhat crew?"

He sliced the man's head clean off.

With Mr. 3 dead, he gazed at the remaining three.

"I ask the questions around here."

"GASP!"

The man looked at his throat, gasping for air. Wait—he thought he got his throat slit. Everyone saw that. So then how was he still alive?

Wait?

Was that his intent to kill? Was his intent that strong it made them all see what would happen to them?

Oh... shit.

"Next time... I will do it for real."

The one question in their minds was... what the hell was he?

They began sweating.

"Well, you see, good sir, those Strawhats stole something from us. We are merely trying to take it back, we did not mean to come to your land."

Wow. Suddenly, they were all nice.

"And what was that?"

"That blue-haired girl. They stole the princess of our land, we are merely trying to get her back, right guys?" Mr. 3 said, and everyone seemed to nod as if to say, yup, 100%, that's why we are here.

"What kind of incompetent buffoon lets their princess be stolen like this?" Kairo said nonchalantly. Mr. 3 was pissed, but he hid it well.

"The Strawhats are a pirate crew, they truly are vicious, they even have bounties."

"Bounties?"

"Yes, I swear they are in the wrong. We were merely trying to reclaim our princess."

Kairo nodded at that. Mr. 3 was doing all the talking. He didn't like that.

He walked to the man, before tossing 2 kunai, each of them landing squarely in his hands.

"HAAA!"

As the man screamed, the wax that he was building up to sneak attack this big man failed—horribly. The wax went out of control.

"Trying to sneak attack me... you truly are a fool."

In one swift motion, he knocked the man out. His gaze landed on the other three.

"Bringer of Darkness."

As those words left his mouth, their world turned black. They seemed confused as they lost access to all of their senses—in a way, they did. This genjutsu of his basically stripped you of your senses, though the higher a person's observation haki, the harder it was to land. And even if it landed, it was likely they would break out.

Those goons, however, possessed no such thing. So this was as easy as stealing candy from a baby.

"You will stay in this for 3 hours. Only when you are willing to talk will you be released." His words were cold, even chilling.

It seemed like his synchronization with the Tobirama template was kinda turning him like the man. No, it was simply giving him the ninja mindset-ish. He was still Kairo.

Hm.

Badup, badup, badup, badup, badup.

The sound of the transponder snail took his attention. Oh, wouldn't this be fun.

A/N if you cracking Lillith would every vegapunk feel that shit
