Space-Space Fruit in One Piece

While both Wyper and Eren were already confronting their enemies, Enel walked towards Valentina. His head was giving off steam as he was seething with rage.

The comment about his earlobes had hurt him deeply, but it was not like his opponent was faring any better. Being called ugly, she was barely able to pull herself together, but it probably didn't even matter as Enel would end this fight pretty fast.

"Are you prepared to face the death granted to you by this god? Be grateful you don't have to suffer a much more horrible fate for insulting a celestial one like myself!" Enel spoke, his voice filled with solemness and convicion.

Valentina on the other hand merely scoffed at his words. "God of what? Long earlobes? For centuries the Aglyvic family has reigned as the most beautiful one of the world. How dare you insult my inheritance?"

Hearing his opponent once again insult his weak spot, Enel lost his calm and started bubbling with anger. He instantly transformed into lightning and emerged in front of his opponent. Discharging a large amount of electricity, he aimed to fry her face and sent her flying backwards.

"Let this be a lesson to you. For insulting a God your end has come at his hands, may you be wiser in your next life."

Enel was about to walk away and help Eren, when he suddenly noticed his opponent get up. She had crashed into a wall and collapsed an entire side of the palace. Instead of dying like he had expected though, she stood up.

Though her stance was shaky and she coughed up a small amount of blood, she did stand up. What was even more baffling, was that instead of burn-marks covering her face, she was surrounded by countless small blades.

"So it seems like you have eaten a Devil Fruit as well. Even one that allows you to control metal to some extent and therefore divert my electricity. Though it seems like your physique is exceptionally weak as you were completely overwhelmed from just the knockback of my lightning bolt."

In mere seconds, Enel had completely analyzed Valentina's fighting style, causing her put on a grim expression.

"You're right, I've eaten the Dagger-Dagger Fruit. Though I'm not able to beat you, as you've eaten a Logia Fruit, I'm at least able to hold you back until Lord Paolo has won against your brother." She spoke through gritted teeth, as it seemed like the knockback of the attack had caused her significant internal injuries. Despite that she was assured that her initial set-back only occured due to her negligience.

Enel on the other hand only looked at her with a mocking expression. "You're wrong not just once, but twice. Your first mistake is to assume that your weakling master has ever had a chance against my brother." Over the years Eren had won Enel's full trust, after displaying unbelievabel feats time and time again.

"Your second mistake was to believe that you can hold me back for even a second." Enel continued before vanishing again. Valentina surrounded herself with daggers in response, hoping to block Enel's blindingly fast elementalized form through using a kind of improvised lightning rod.

But Enel didn't care. He materialized right outside her domain and turned the gold he carried on his entire body into a trident. He additionally clad this trident in a thick coat of Haki before simply slashing through the dome of daggers.

Whichever dagger tried to stand in the way of his weapon was cut into two as his weapon headed for Valentina's head with an unstoppable display of force. Just as he was about to cleave her in two though, he diverged his spear's path and only chose to take off her arm.

Afterwards he instantly retreated and broke out into laughter. "Wrahahaha, did you really think I would end this fight this quickly? You still haven't suffered enough, and I don't want to be bored until Eren ends his fight. Let's play for a bit now...shall we? "

In the heat of the moment, Enel had missed a slight detail. Had his laughter always sounded like rumbling thunder?

A few hundred meters away, Enel was still fighting against Paolo. Though he was blindfolded, his vision wasn't really impaired except for the fact that he wasn't able to see any colors. Instead he treated this as an opportunity to further increase his Observation Haki.

Paolo on the other hand found himself overwhelmed by the sheer amount and frequecy of his opponent's attacks. Due to Eren being able to still freely shorten and lengthen space - even without his teleportation ability - he was able to make his attacks meet their target every time, whilst his opponents attacks always seemed to be stuck in space.

Without his Devil Fruit Paolo honestly wasn't the greatest fighter. Though he had some pretty decent physical strenght, his Armament Haki was probably barely at the Beginner I stage and from what Eren could tell he hadn't unlocked Observation Haki yet.

The reason why Eren said probably, was that he wasn't able to access the system's interface at the moment. Though he could tell it to display Paolo's stats, he wasn't able to see them as they were almost shown as a screen a few centimeters away from him. Since that screen didn't really exist in reality, he was not able to perceive it with his Haki either.

Though this limitation was somewhat annoying, it proved that Eren couldn't always rely on the system's interface and neede to focus more on his own analytical capabilities.

'This system really needs an update, with such a glaring limitation. What if I ever lose both of my eyes? Am I just completely unable to use it then?'

As the fight with Paolo continued, Eren turned more and more disappointed by the second. This guy seemed to be just like crocodile, only relying on his Devil Fruit to rise to his position.

His only redeeming quality was his somewhat decent Swordsmanship as he was able to use flying slashes and could cut through steel. He even wielded one of the 51 Great Grade Blades, though at the same time he wasn't able to infuse his blade with Haki yet as he hadn't reached Beginner II mastery.

There was also the fact that his stamina and defense seemed to be pretty decent, as he hadn't fallen to the ground until now, even after enduring so many of Eren's attacks. Though he merely used Haki of about the Beginner I Level, he still didn't pull his punches.

Eren continued to hit him all across his body for a few seconds, before deciding to change his strategy. He briefly spread his Observation Haki as far as he could muster, before creating a sword of condensed space once again.

He had just checked for any nearby observers, and hadn't found anyone. He also didn't notice any video-snakes or something else that would be able to broadcast their fight, so he decided to end it as fast as possible.

There was nothing for him to gain from this fight. His opponent was probably weaker than even Gecko Moria or Crocodile, relying merely on his Devil Fruit and pathetic Mastery of Armament Haki.

"Shall we end this then?" Eren asked him with a slightly bored expression on his face, before once again lengthening the space around Paolo to the point where he couldn't move a single centimeter.

Theoretically any skilled Haki user would be able to destroy this move, as Haki was known to counter all Devil Fruits, no matter the type. To do that though, you would need Haki at least on the same level as the Fruit Mastery, which was the peak of Beginner II for Eren. Even if he trained all his life, Paolo wouldn't be able to escape his imminent death.

But if he couldn't move, why was he grinning?

"I agree with you, lets end this now," Paolo spoke before breaking out into a manical laugh while facing the sky. "Fyahahaha, did you really think you, an unknown rookie would be able to take my spot?"

Eren was slightly caught off-guard, but since he couldn't see anything that would have the ability to harm him nearby, he simply continued with what resembled an execution more than a battle.

Placed his sword in front of Paolo's heart, before removing the control he held over space at that exact point and slowly moving it forward. Paolo was about to die, but still continued laughing like a madman, seemingly unbothered by the things surrounding him.

Just as he broke through the warlords skin and was about to pierce his heart, he suddenly heard a chilling voice.

"Freeze".

The words were said with the confidence and authority of a true ruler, or maybe a narcissist. Eren didn't mind though and wanted to continue, but suddenly noticed that his body was frozen.

He tried to move his arm forward, but to his surprise he discovered, that he couldn't move an inch. He tried the same with his legs, hands and neck, but the same was true for all of them. Just as panic was about to take over his mind, he suddenly calmed down and focused on Paolo again, who now seemed extremely calm.

"Did you really think someone like you could beat me?" Paolo said with a mocking smile on his face.

"You're a thousand years too early for that."

_______________________

Due to lack of support in the last thread, I decided to just go ahead and write the other book, as. I feel like it leaves me many more options for developement. Just treat this book as a test-run then if you wish to. I will release the rest of the prewritten chapters for this book, but there probably won't be any extra updates in the future. Some of them aren't proof-read yet.

If everybody was just chapter stacking and it turns out many more people still prefer this book, then I might reconsider. But do know that I already feel like the other one would be better, and it would also take a bit of time to write more chapters as I just released all I had stockpiled

Please leave a power stone or review if you don't want to be mind controlled by me.
