Space-Space Fruit in One Piece

Chapter 19: 19: Fight against Paolo (3)



While Enel played with Valentina and Eren pummeled Paolo, Wypers situation had kept worsening. After Gerald started using his Haki, he was completely unable to keep up.

Each of their exchanges would result in his spear and bones receiving tiny cracks. His muscles were aching all across his body and several wounds had opened on his skin, painting Wyper partially red.

"I truly admire your spirit and will. Being able to stand the glory of so many individuals triumphing over your measly strength in the same room, and still continuing the fight is a choice not many would make." Gerald said in his holy tone of voice, while looking condescendingly at Wyper.

'Ugh, I can't stand this guy.' Wyper thought after looking at his punchable face. 'But what he has said is true. Everybody here is stronger than me, able to use Haki and owning overpowered Devil fruits.'

While thinking about this, he was looking at Eren's and Enel's fight. Noticing how Valentina struggled, he looked at Enel with an envious expression.

'Maybe I would be able to take her in a fight. Her Devil fruit seems relatively weak, and she doesn't even know Haki, should I ask Enel to switch places?' Wyper thought for some time, before suddenly slapping himself in the face, the sound echoing across the entire hall.

'NO WYPER, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? If you can't even beat this little worm, already thinking about running away from your opponent and begging for help, then how dare you call yourself a warrior? How dare you be part of the same crew as those two monsters or even call yourself a descendent of the mighty warrior Kalgara?'

Wyper's eyes turned serious. Until now he hadn't realized why Eren wanted him in his crew. To be honest, he still didn't.

He was much weaker than both Enel and Eren, not even owning a cool Devil Fruit or unique power. He was the weakest among them and basically unneeded. Even now Enel would easily be able to fight both Valentina and Gerald. So why had Eren insisted that he joined him, even using such shameless methods.

When he had brought Wyper to the bell, the symbol of their tribe, he was truly thankful. His life-long wish had been fulfilled. And while ringing the bell, he saw the admiration in Eren's eyes.

He knew that his captain would have loved to keep that bell for himself after hearing its heavenly sounds, but he didn't. Why did he choose to give it away? Wyper honestly didn't know. There's no way he was worth as much as the Golden Bellfry. But he does know that he is extremely grateful to his strong and slightly eccentric captain.

Even while going through that hell-like training on the ship, with Eren bringing him to his limits, he pulled through to express his gratitude. He had to repay his debt by becoming stronger, as only then would he even have the hopes of becoming useful to his captain.

But what he was doing right now was going against those goals. 'Giving up just because you're suffering a bit? This isn't like you at all!' Wyper suddenly saw the image of a large figure with spiky, long red hair in his mind.

He recognized him immediately. It was his ancestor Kalgara. But at the moment he was moving further away from him.

'Seems like even my ancestors are ashamed of me. Now pull yourself together.' Wyper motivated himself in his mind once again, before a serious look appeared in his eyes. He gripped his spear tighter and took on a fighting stance.

"I will wipe that arrogant smirk right off your face, and then use it to clean my ass after shitting." Wyper said to Gerald with a grim expression on his face, before rushing towards him again while activating the jed dials in his roller skates.

With his ambition having returned, there was no way Wyper would let himself be beat up like that again. He aimed his spear right for Gerald's head, striving to pierce him in one clean motion.

His opponent wasn't just sitting around idly though. He coated his arm in Haki once again, before meating the spear head-on. Both of their arms shook heavily, before they were sent flying backwards. Wyper even coughed up a mouth of blood, but with his spirit at an all-time high, he wouldn't be stopped by some measly internal injury.

"I will not fall today." He screamed with conviction in his voice, before engaging Gerald once again. Wyper seemed like he wanted to pull off the same move for a second time, but just as they were about to meet again, he suddenly twisted his lower body and activated his jed dials to their full capacity.

This sent him sidewards without any warning, allowing Wyper to catch Gerald off-guard and cutting into his hip-region. Afterwards the two fighters seperated again, with a grin forming on Wypers face.

He saw the small trickle of blood flowing down his opponents leg. Though it was just a small wound, it was the first one he had inflicted since Gerald had started using Haki.

"We will see, if you may continue being in such a joyous mood at the end of our little fight." Gerald spoke, calming Wyper down again. There was still a long way to go until the winner would be decided. At the same time he also knew that he wouldn't be able to truly win this one. At most he could buy enough time for Eren and Enel to finish off their opponents and take care of his'.

* * * * * * * * *

Meanwhile Enel was looking at the fried Valentina in front of him. Though he didn't know her exact complexion at the moment, he could tell that she probably wasn't doing too good from the amount of hair that was missing from her head.

"Do you need some extra hair from me?" Enel asked with a mocking expression. "I honestly think you don't look that good burned up like that. Almost like a roasted chicken"

On the inside Valentina was boiling with anger right now. The monster in front of her had continued electrocuting her during the last minutes, slowly increasing the voltage until she looked the way she did right now.

"This is torture!" She screamed in exhaustion. "At least fight me with your full strength."

"Would you use your full strength to fight a child?" Enel asked, his face plain. He had honestly let out enough of his rage already. He was only continuing to kill some time while he waited for Eren to finish.

Of course he could help Wyper, but where would the fun in that be? It would be much more interesting watching him being beaten up. But the main reason he didn't help was that Wyper would learn a lot from this fight and might even awaken Haki.

Or at least that's what Enel told himself to justify his inaction.

While he was getting slightly bored, he looked over at Eren who was just about to finish his battle. Seems like he didn't have much more fun either.

All of a sudden Enel's forehead contorted into a frown.

Why wasn't his brother finishing Paolo off? This didn't seem like him at all. He wasn't the type to spare enemies.

Just as Enel was about to ask what the problem was, Eren suddenly turned around slowly, his movements disconnected and his face blank. The most important detail though was the fact that he wasn't wearing his blindfold anymore.

'Oh shit!' Enel cursed in his mind.

* * * * * * * * * *

Eren wanted to speak and ask what was going on, but his body was no longer under his command. He slowly pulled his sword out of Paolo's chest and moved backwards a few steps. All of this against his own will.

'Come on body, move. Finish him off.' Eren tried his hardest to resist whatever happened to his body, but it simply didn't listen. The most he could do was slow his movements down a bit, but he didn't have true control.

"Seems like you didn't quite do all of your research." Paolo said mockingly. "Though I can't really blame you. After all no one has ever lived to tell the tale after I used the awakened state of my Devil Fruit.

Eren cursed in his mind. He cursed himself for not immediately finishing the warlord, but he also cursed his system, for not allowing him to see the interface that would have told him about the strength of his opponent.

'No, I can only blame myself. I must not rely too much on the system, its merely a bonus. Only my own power can truly guarantee my safety.' Eren realized that he had been overreliant on the systems estimations.

After all from his fight with Enel he was able to see that it wasn't always right. While it showed that their powers were slightly different, he managed to draw in the end.

'Nevermind. No time to put the blame on someone right now. I first need to find a way to break the bind he has on me.'

Paolo stood up, since the space-bind had been stopped after Eren fell under his control, he now came face to face with him, at looked at him with menacing eyes.

"You're probably thinking about how to break free right now, don't you? But don't worry, no one has ever escaped me after looking into my eyes. This power is invincible." Paolo said, before he started to laugh again.

"Fyahahaha. You seem like a good guy. The rage I could feel inside you was real, probably stemming from you compassion with the women and men I hold under my control." Paolo said while brushing across Eren's cheek in the most villain-like way.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you immediately. You're too much of an asset for me after all. Instead I will let you slowly kill your companions and break your will, until you're much easier to control. And then you will become the strongest soldier under my command."

Hearing those words, panic started to form in his mind. Though he probably wouldn't be able to kill Enel in his weakened state, Paolo could most likely use his fruit to hypnotize him as well. At that point he would be forced to kill his brother and Wyper.

"Now do it." Paolo said with a commanding tone.
