As soon as Luffy announce his entrance, Yuta began moving towards him in the shadows. He waited until the casual banter between him and Whitebeard was over before reaching out for him.
"I have to say that this guy know how to attract attention, its not even been two minutes he came and here he was challenging Whitebeard…" Shaking his head at protagonist Dum Luck, Yuta move on to take Luffy towards Hancock.
Marines swarmed toward him, but Luffy's rubbery fists kept them at bay as he fought his way closer to the execution platform.
'Idiot, there is no point going there without a key…' Yuta also facepalm, was he the only one who thought about the problems of getting Ace out of his shackles before reaching to the execution platform?
'This kid will get himself killed before even reaching Ace.' Without wasting another moment, Yuta dashed toward him, using his Sharingan to predict the Marines' attacks and clear a path.
"Luffy!" Yuta shouted, landing in front of him as he stopped another marine from jetting his fate against Luffy's rubbery fist.
Luffy stopped briefly, his eyes widening in recognition. "Yuta? What are you doing here?"
"Oh you remember me, never thought you would with your elastic brain bouncing everyone off beside meat and trouble…" Yuta mocked but Luffy didn't get it, just like he said, it was bouncy off.
"I'll explain later," Yuta replied, grabbing Luffy by the arm. "Come with me…"
"No! I am going to save Ace…" Luffy immediately resisted, trying to escape Yuta's grip but with an unconscious pull of ROFA, he felt weakness all over his body and almost slummed down.
"Ah, it really works well against devil fruit users…" Yuta didn't mean to do that, he only used ROFA to counter Luffy's pull.
"Right now, you're wasting time. Even if you go there, how will you bring Ace back? He is hand cuffed with sea prism stone. And Sengoku is standing right next to him. That old man is as strong as your grandpa…"
"What… G…grandpa…" only hearing Garp's name Luffy seems to gulp and look over the execution platform again.
" So what, I'm still gonna save Ace…" but Luffy was Luffy. There was no changing his mind when he thought of something.
"I know, I know… okay. That is the reason why I am here, I know someone who has the key to Ace's shackles. We have to get that key before going to Ace."
Luffy blinked, confused but trusting. "Key! Hmm who has it…?"
Yuta swiftly manoeuvred them through the battlefield, using Playful Cloud to knock back any Marines in their path.
"Just follow me for now, I will lead you to the person, once we have the key, then we both can move towards the execution platforms to save Ace…" Yuta replied and start making his way towards where Hancock was. Luffy of course followed him all the way.
Due to the change of target and now there being two of them, they didn't face much resistance.
After a few moments, they found Hancock, who was busy dispatching Marines with her Love-Love abilities.
"Hancock!" Yuta called out, but before his voice could even reach the world most beautiful woman, the worlds strongest blade came crashing down towards him.
"Holy shit…" grab Luffy from the corner and jump to the side to dodge the upcoming attack.
"That, you are the Hawkeye guy…" Luffy recognized Mihawk and was ready to fight. However, the gap of power was too much…
'Fuck, why this guy is here, why now when the key is so close….' Yuta pursed his lips and then turn towards Luffy.
"Luffy, get going, go and meet Hancock, she must have the key. Once you get the key, make sure you hide it until you are ready to free Ace. I will handle Hawkeye…Go." Yuta shouted, and then covered Luffy, standing directly in front of Mihawk.
Luffy hesitated for a second but nodded. "Okay!" he yelled as he sprinted away.
Mihawk's piercing gaze shifted to Yuta. "Interesting. You're not afraid to stand in my way? Let's see if you can back up your courage."
Yuta lunged forward, swinging Playful Cloud with precision. Mihawk blocked the strike effortlessly, his blade meeting the staff with a sharp clang. The force of the clash sent shockwaves rippling through the air.
Yuta pressed on, attacking with quick, unpredictable movements, using his Sharingan to anticipate Mihawk's counterattacks. But no matter how fast or clever he was, Mihawk's mastery outclassed him.
Even if he shorted the difference of power and speed with his ROFA, he can't handle the skill Mihawk had with his blade, not even his Mangekyo can do that.
With every swing of Yoru, Mihawk cut through Yuta's defences like a calm storm slicing through chaos.
Even his ROFA wasn't a help against Mihawk, he wasn't touching Mihawk through his weapon and he couldn't use more of ROFA since his weapon couldn't bear it.
Realizing that Playful Cloud wasn't strong enough to match Mihawk's black blade, Yuta gritted his teeth. "This isn't enough," he muttered. Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out his Weapon Upgrade Card, a rare item he had been saving.
But before he could activate it, Mihawk's blade gleamed as he struck with devastating power. "You're too slow," Mihawk said, his voice calm and nonchalant.
The next moment, Yuta was sent flying. This was the first time Mihawk connected the attack, he knew that Yuta's eyes were different, much like his own yes, they had special perception, that with Yuta's own unlimited hax, hitting him was almost impossible.
He was only able to do so due to Yuta was more concern about doing something with whatever he took out of his pocket.
However, Mihawk felt that his sword never connected with Yuta even now.
'Something stop the blade…' Mihawk's, eagle like eyes turn to Yuta who was flying back right now with both curiosity and interest.
Mihawk was right, Rika's scarf stop Mihawk's attack on time, however, this wasn't infinity…though the attack was stopped.
The sheer force of Mihawk's attack blasted him backward, his body crashing into the Moby Dick, Whitebeard's massive ship. The impact shook the vessel, drawing the attention of the Whitebeard Pirates.
"Owww… Thanks Rika, you save my butt there…" Yuta reply and almost passed out due the the impact he took.
Here is the goal for this Week.
