"Get up here! Let's fight!!" I roared toward the unknown voice as I smacked the head of a crawling straggler causing him to start frothing at the mouth with a dizzy look in his already terrified eyes. A bottle of sake that had fallen on the floor rolled over to my foot, the stopper still intact on its mouth.

A sly smile appeared on my face as I picked it up before leisurely making my way to the lamp in the corner and sitting down on a self made pile of bodies. A simple uncorking was all it took before I began gurgling it down my throat.

A small chuckle began to shake my shoulder before changing into a full blown chortle, my bloodl.u.s.t flooding the room twirling around with my Haki, which I had just recently released causing ominous winds to swirl around the room. The temperature of the room dropped progressively as a mad aura shook the room.

This was my will, Undying, Unresolved, wild and Untamed. It was ready, ready to swallow the world!

************************************************************************************

Sorren s.h.i.+vered as he felt the terrifying aura, swat began beading from his forehead before falling to the ground as clear drops. A mad chill reached down his shoulder before freezing his spine, petrifying him in the face of the ominous adversary.

'Captain releases such a fearful aura!' Sorren remarked fearfully as his mind cascaded back to the conversation he had had on the rickety life-threatening ride to the island.

Slowly his brows began to knit together as he stubbornly resisted the tyrannical onslaught, gritting his teeth he forced his dizzy consciousness back on track all the while moving through the lead like air.

'Dammit captain, why'd you have to make things so difficult?' he whined in his mind as he continued forward.

He no longer felt like a lost s.h.i.+p in a torrentious storm, instead a stubborn resolve bloomed from the midst of his forehead, steadily growing in size all the while fighting in the invisible battle of will. 'Captain isn't even aiming his aura at me, still, such pressure is too inhumane!' he continued.

Sorren slowly felt his surrounding faded into obscurity as he begun to hallucinate. The world seemed to turn into an endless bridge with the stars s.h.i.+ning obscurely and a crystalline bridge seemingly going on for an eternity.

An illusory silhouette suddenly appeared above him before becoming more and more ethereal all the while descending crus.h.i.+ng down at the miniscule will that he had awoken. Invisible ropes seemed to keep him in place as he stared despairingly at the oncoming mountain.

'So this is what being crushed by pressure feels like…' he thought to himself as hope seemingly turned tail and ran from the scene, abandoning him to his dark reality. His will began to lose color fading into nothingness, only a tiny thread of grit still anchoring him against the storm like gargantuan pressure of the falling monolith.

Words began to flood his conscience, pictures from the battle against Doflamingo filtering through the front of his eyes.

'Hehe you free loading fatty get ready to die!!'

'Hah? Pirate, fight your stomach before dreaming about setting sail! Useless fat pug!'

'You want to flatten Mary Geossa, yet you cannot face even this level of pressure?' A silhouette suddenly said, morphing into the figure of his captain. 'What crew member, you aren't on a jolly ride you d.a.m.n fatty!' the figure continued as a layer of derision appeared in the usually playful eyes of his captain.

…

...

'…one day I will reach the same level as my father, surpa.s.s him and flatten Mary Gerosa!' a version of him said with conviction in his voice before turning to the kneeling body of the now ghost-like Sorren.

His eyes slowly widened before flooding with the previously missing hope, which had obviously been apprehended by his younger self and dutifully returned to its rightful place which had been suffering due to its unaccountable presence. (Or lack thereof)

"I will grow strong and I will not bow!!" Sorren roared as his illusory self began expanding shattering the chains that had bound him. A dull golden light swirled out of his forehead before his whole figure shone with the brilliant incandescence of essential hope!

Sorren had awoken Conqueror's Haki!!!

A perverted look shone on Fawkes's old face as he collected the treasures that had found their way to the dank cellars of the marine Headquarters' treasury. Deep calming breaths were the only things were the only thing that kept him from getting a stroke!

Suddenly a tyrannical aura shook the old stones of the marine headquarters, lines of sand fell onto his head as an exasperated sigh shook his frame as a grumbling words were thrown at the walls.

"What the h.e.l.l are you doing captain!!" he roared as he threw a small amount of ornaments at the stairs that lead to the cellar. "Let me loot in piece! This grandfather won't take you messing with my fun!!" he continued in a lower tone while he rummaged through the chests that lay strewn on the ground.

"Money, money, money!

Money and more money!

Give me money, oh give me money!"

He sang in a deliriously happy tone as he pocketed palms full of gold ornaments all the while using his observation to keep an eye at the door of the treasury, ready to make a break for it at the briefest sign of human appearance.

Suddenly he perked up, looking at a direction diagonal to the door of the treasury. "Hoh..? Sorren awakened?" he said as a satisfied smirk made its way to his face. "Now we have a crew with everyone having Conqueror's Haki! Hah!! take that f.u.c.king world government!!" he roared as he swung an arm at an invisible adversary.

A small chuckle shook him as he went back to his looting and singing.....
