The hotel wall exploded.
Stone, wood, and dust burst into the streets.
The masked man flew through the hotel wall, spinning through the air before crashing into the ground outside. His body slid across the stone road, tearing a long line into it, before stopping at the edge of the plaza.
Smoke rose from the rubble.
People nearby screamed and ran.
Noah stepped through the broken wall and looked down.
"You should've stayed in the shadows," Noah said.
The masked man slowly stood up and rolled his neck.
"Well," the man said, dusting off his coat, "that was rude."
He looked up at Noah.
The rabbit mask was cracked down one side.
"But impressive." The masked man said.
The ground beneath him suddenly shattered.
The masked man vanished.
Noah's eyes narrowed.
A sharp pain exploded in his side.
Noah slid backward, boots grinding against the stone as the masked man reappeared, his leg buried deep in Noah's ribs.
The kick sent Noah crashing through three market stalls.
Fruits scattered everywhere.
Noah flipped midair and landed on one knee.
The masked man appeared again, above Noah.
A glowing blade formed in his hand-thin, sharp, and white.
Noah raised his sword.
CLANG⚔️
The shockwave ripped through the street, shattering windows.
"So you are really are strong" the masked man said, pushing down harder. "I guess the rumors are true."
Noah overpowered the masked throwing him back, the man slammed into a building.
The building cracked.
"Who are you?" Noah asked.
The man laughed.
"A hunter. "And you are my prey." The masked man replied.
He raised both hands and the air begun to bend.
An Invisible force slammed into Noah from all sides.
Noah's feet dug into the ground as the pressure crushed down on him.
"Vector Manipulation," Noah muttered.
Noah's eyes glowed purple.
The Invisible force vanished.
The masked man staggered.
"…What...did he just erased my attack?"
Noah stepped forward. Each step cracking the ground.
"It seems like you can control force," the masked man said. "But so do I."
He rushed towards Noah.
Their fists collided 👊🤛.
BOOM.
A shockwave blasted upward, forming a spiral of dust and air.
The masked man twisted mid-strike, landing a knee into Noah's stomach.
Noah grabbed his leg.
The masked man's eyes widened.
Noah slammed him into the ground.
The street split open.
Before the man could recover, Noah kicked him straight up into the air.
Noah vanished then reappeared above him.
And drove his sword handle into the back of the mask.
The man screamed as they fell.
They crashed into the plaza below.
The rabbit mask shattered completely.
Blood spilled onto the ground
The man coughed, laughing even as he bled.
"Heh… so this is how it feels…"
Noah stood over him.
"Stay down."
The man wiped blood from his mouth and slowly stood up.
His face was pale, marked with scars and strange symbols.
"You think the World Government sent only me?"
Noah glanced at the man for a moment.
"Then you were just here to test out my strength."
The man grinned.
"Yes."
He snapped his fingers.
The air around them screamed.
A white shock blade formed around his arm, larger than before.
He rushed towards Noah again.
Noah exhaled slowly.
F̶̶̶O̶̶̶R̶̶̶B̶̶̶I̶̶̶D̶̶̶D̶̶̶E̶̶̶N̶̶̶ Haki: Will Of The Goddess.
The man's knees buckled mid-run.
"What… is… this…?" he gasped.
Vision flooded his mind.
Kings kneeling.
Worlds burning.
A throne stained with blood.
Noah raised his sword.
"I warned you,"
Noah swings his sword.
The air split.
The masked man body got erased instantly.
Noah yawned.
"Next time, send gods."
MEANWHILE -High Above Dressrosa
"It seems Rabbit has been defeated," a female voice said.
Another voice laughed.
"Heh… figures."
"Silence," a third voice said coldly.
The room went quiet.
The female voice spoke again.
"Doflamingo. Due to you're status, we cannot act against you....we've shared all the information we've gathered with you just as you asked."
Another voice cut in.
"The Straw Hats and the Heart Pirates are moving tomorrow and they plan to take you down."
"If you fall, Kaido will not remain silent." The female voice said.
"That would throw the entire world out of balance." Another voice said.
HahahaHAHAHAHA!
Doflamingo's laughter filled the room.
"Oh? Is that all?...Don't worry. I'll kill them myself." Doflamingo said with a grin.
A man stood up and walked towards a tall window.
He placed his hand against the glass and looked down at Dressrosa.
"To think, all of this might get destroyed tomorrow." The man said.
He tilted his head, then smiled
"Hahaha! That won't happen." Doflamingo replied.
"Once I crush those ants and get Caesar back…everything will go back on track." Doflamingo said.
The man turned away from the window.
"Then i guess it's time we did what we came here to do."
"To think the World Government sent three Primordial to capture one man." Doflamingo said.
Another voice spoke up.
"Even though rabbit wasn't a Primordial, he was a good intern."
Doflamingo laughed again, louder than before.
"Good luck."
