(Third Person POV)
"Vohahaha!!" Xebec laughed as he saw the debris slowing down, "Aw, come on! Don't tell me yer dead already!"
He focused his Observation Haki on Mikael, trying to see if he was still breathing. He was, but there was something strange about his breathing, getting heavier and faster.
"Hm?" Xebec raised his eyebrow
Suddenly, a massive explosion of tar and flames erupted, the shockwave ripping the ground apart as it hit Xebec, who was unfazed by this. A large winged shadow emerged from the explosion, a deep growl being heard.
Xebec's eyes widened in excitement as he saw a dragon-like figure standing before him. It was massive, with dark and rough scales that were almost metallic. It had large wing-arms that were covered in a tar-like substance, dripping down. The wing membranes, aside from dripping from the tar, had a tattered appearance, almost as if the creature was a rotting leviathan.
It had large red-orange eyes that glared right at Xebec, who was watching this with pure excitement.
"Vohahaha!" He said, "A Zoan?! But what's this?! I've never seen a creature like this! Are you a dragon? That must mean you're a Mythical Zoan, right?! Vohahaha, just what I wanted to see!! Come on then, let's dance!!"
The massive dragon blinked slowly, letting out a deep growl as it took a step forwards, causing the ground beneath it to burn.
This was Mikael, in his full-beast transformation, something he didn't think he would enter so soon. The reason for this was due to the damage he took from Xebec's attack, forcing him in his full dragon transformation to recover.
"What the hell....?" Mikael thought to himself, "My body feels heavy.....and I am much bigger....am I in my Full Transformation, you're joking...."
The System Screen appeared in front of him, only visible to Mikael:
[Gogmazios System]
- In Full Beast Form, You Have The Default Abilities of The Elder Dragon; Gogmazios.
- Immense Strength and Durability
- Heavy Oil: A Tar-Like Substance That Is Very Flammable
- Fire Manipulation (To A Certain Degree)
- And Many Other Abilities That Are Currently Locked
"Good Luck?" Mikael's voice was a bit deep, "What do you mean good luck?!"
Xebec frowned, "What are you talking about?!" He said with a smirk, "I didn't say anything!!"
Without warning, Mikael swung his right arm down at Xebec, attempting to strike him. Xebec, however, was too fast for him and dodged, launching himself into the air.
"Shit...." Mikael said, "I'm not that fast...."
"Vohaha!" Xebec laughed, "Resisting, huh? That's what I prefer! You look quite sturdy, let's test that out!!"
He swung his sword at Mikael, causing another massive impact that reeled the massive dragon form backwards, tar and flames flying everywhere. The impact from the attack felt like a massive cannonball hitting Mikael square in the chest, but other than that, it rattled his entire body.
"Tch....!!!" Mikael said, "You....!!!"
"Oh, your full beast transformation is strong!" Xebec shouted as he swung his sword again, "How about another one?!"
This time, the impact of the strike hit Mikael in the side of his head, sending him jerking back violently.
"Arghh!!" Mikael shouted as he hit the ground, "Well, shit.....Am I just going to be a punching bag?"
Xebec landed on the ground, noticing the tense heat of the oil and flames, "Hm.....?"
Mikael's body was on the ground, and he immediately composed himself, his wing-arms planting themselves on the ground.
"I need a proper grasp on this power....." He thought to himself, "Any other Pirate would've sufficed to test it out, but I am stuck with Rocks himself. What bullshit is this?! He's arguably the strongest of this Era and I basically just got this Devil Fruit power!"
Mikael looked at Xebec, who was smirking at him, "Alright, prepare for this, Rocks!!"
"Oh? You know me?" Xebec said, "Vohaha, how interesting!"
Mikael opened his maw and a bright glow emitted from it, "Yea....."
Suddenly, a large beam of compressed oil and flames fired right at Xebec. It would have engulfed him completely if he didn't see it coming. He dodged out of the way and watched as the beam hit the ground, causing a massive explosion of oil and flames, the heat distorting the air as he landed a few meters away.
He felt his body sweating a bit, but other than that, he was unfazed by the heat.
It did bother him slightly, "Hm..." He said, "That's quite the heat.....Hey, what's yer name?!"
Mikael stared at him, tar and oil dripping down his body, "Mikael....." He said as he looked at him, "Why?"
"Heh." Xebec smirked, "Well, Mikael. Let's make a deal. If I beat you, you'll join my crew! If you beat me, I'll let you leave this island unscathed. If you refuse to make this deal, Ima fucking kill you!!"
"Tch...." Mikael said, "I'm still fucked anyways....well, dammit....."
"Is that a Deal?!" Xebec smirked, raising his sword, "What say you, Mikael?!"
"Fine then!!!" Mikael shouted as he swung his left arm at him, "Deal!!"
"Vohahaha!!!" Xebec laughed as he jumped up and blocked his strike, "Alright! That's what I like to hear!!!"
Xebec pushed Mikael's arm away and swung his sword at him, hitting him straight in the chin, causing his entire body to jerk up. As his entire body rattled, Mikael tried to compose himself and opened his mouth, trying to fire another breath attack. Xebec interrupted him by striking him in the chest, sending him sliding several dozen meters, causing the area to erupt into flames due to the heat and oil.
"Sturdy as hell!!" Xebec landed on the ground and ran towards him, jumping back up and holding his sword with both hands, "Let's see if you can survive this!!"
Mikael noticed black and red lightning engulfed on the blade of his sword, "Wait...." he said, "You psychopath....!!"
"Pandemonium!!!"
Xebec swung his sword down fiercely, hitting Mikael at the top of the head, slamming his entire body down to the ground. The impact of the Advanced Conqueror's Haki was so powerful that it caused another shattering on the ground, more and more crevices appearing on the area of the island. The Conqueror's haki was sparking throughout the air, creating a distortion in space itself.
This was a serious attack launched by Rocks D. Xebec, which was directed at Mikael.
Mikael's eyes were whitened out, still in his Dragon Form, a low groan coming out of his mouth.
"Ughh....." He said as his body slowly shrunk down, steam emitting from it, "What the..."
Mikael reverted back to his human form, inside the crater caused by the attack. Xebec landed on the edge of the crater, leaning his sword on his shoulder.
"Oh?" He said, "You're strong, Mikael!! You didn't die from that! And aside from that, you only look like you got a headache from that attack, Vohahaha!!"
Mikael slowly got up, holding his head, "You....monster....." He groaned, "You could've killed me...."
"Vohahaha!" Xebec laughed, "I don't think I could, even if I tried! Now, we had a deal, no?"
"Yer my lackey now!!!"
