Space-Space Fruit in One Piece

Chapter 14: 14: Wyper's Fight



Wyper had a very unique fighting style. He primarily used the large bazooka on his back as an attack method, but he also uses some sort of roller skates. They work similarly to Wavers and allow him to move at high speed.

His fighting style is pretty good, but Eren thinks that there is still some room for improvement. For one, he should make more use of the high physical strength he was born with as a descendant of the ancient warrior Kalgara. Using a bazooka is a bit of a waste, as the armament Haki would be much more effective. That way, he could truly overwhelm his opponents with both power and speed.

A perfect Devil Fruit for him would probably be a Zoan one that focuses on speed. That way, he would be able to increase his already high physical strength even more and also make sure that he wouldn't be left behind, since the boost from his skates would be useless in high-level fights.

For now though, Eren decided to just enjoy the show.

Wyper decided to engage by closing the distance to his fleeing enemies. When he was right behind them, he immediately fired a bazooka shot at close range. It hit Antonov "The tank" right in the back, causing a huge explosion. After the initial fire had died down, the result of the attack was revealed.

Antonov was basically unharmed except for some large burns,he barely lost a layer of fat. Cupcake, on the other hand, had dodged the attack in time and suffered no damage at all.

Realizing that there was no point in running, the two pirates turned and decided to confront Wyper head-on. At first they were taken aback by the wings on his back, but they quickly regained their focus.

Seeing his opponents ready to face him, Wyper's mood improved. He loved a good fight. He immediately attacked again, this time focusing on Cupcake, realizing that Antonov's defenses were far too high.

When their fists met, Cupcake realized that his physical strength was much lower. His fist hurt badly and he was knocked back several feet before he had to take another bazooka hit.

While Wyper was distracted, Antonov decided to attack him from behind, but he was too slow to even get close to the much quicker Shandian.

'It looks like the fatty won't be a problem for now. As long as I can keep him at a distance, I can concentrate on my fight with the other guy. This should be over relatively quickly.'

At that moment, the dust kicked up by Wyper's attack settled, revealing a grunting Cupcake. His nose had become much smaller and he was having trouble breathing. His face and ears became those of a French Bulldog.

Eren felt sorry for him. The poor guy really had eaten a trash Devil Fruit. Normally, a dog-type Devil Fruit should at least give you a better sense of smell, but the same couldn't be said for the French Bulldog model.

Wyper mostly ignored his opponent's transformation and instead began to move in his direction again. When they clashed this time, he noticed that his opponent's strength seemed to have increased slightly, but not to the point where it would be dangerous for him to fight.

Instead, he clashed with Cupcake again and again, firing a shot from his bazooka every now and then. It was a wise decision of Eren not to dock in the city, otherwise most of it would have been destroyed by now. This part of Jaya was now in ruins because of Wyper's attacks.

At the same time, Cupcake wasn't doing any better than the landscape. He had burns all over his body and some of his bones were broken.

"What are you doing, Antonov?" He suddenly shouted in anger. For some reason, he had been fighting a 1v1 the whole time.

"It's not my fault Cupcake. You know I'm not fast enough to keep up with him."

The French Bulldog seemed to have a sudden flash of inspiration as he moved towards Antonov. "If you can't keep up with him, you'll have to be my meat shield."

Seeing his opponents begin to work together, Wyper's expression turned grim. It wasn't that he was afraid of losing, but rather that a fight where one of his opponents was constantly hiding behind a shield would be rather annoying.

As the battle continued, Wyper tried his best to attack his enemies from behind, but unfortunately Antonov was still fast enough to at least circle around Cupcake, who continued to attack Wyper at every opportunity.

Slowly but surely, the Shandian began to tire out. It seemed that neither his stamina nor his attack power were high enough to end this fight decisively. Suddenly, he seemed to have a flash of inspiration and turned to Eren.

"Can you please make a sword for me?" He asked his captain. Theoretically, this could be considered as cheating, but Eren decided that it would be okay. He also made the sword a bit worse than usual, so that it was only as strong as a normal sword.

The moment Wyper held the sword in his hand, he dropped the bazooka and concentrated on cutting down his opponent. Since the bazooka focused more on AOE damage, it wasn't really suitable for enemies with high defense.

After realizing his weakness, Wyper immediately tried to end the fight. As soon as he got in front of Antonov, he aimed for his head, trying to sever it in one clean blow.

As before, however, the pirate managed to defend his vital area by blocking with his arms. But that didn't matter to Wyper, because the sword was sharp enough to cut through an entire arm. Even though Eren had nerfed it quite a bit, it was still on the level of a Grade Blade, just below some of the Skillful Blades.

Since fat was especially weak against sharp weapons, it offered little resistance against the high quality sword.

The pain of losing an arm caused Antonov to scream and lose his concentration. This in turn allowed Wyper to cut off his head completely. He had finally eliminated his first opponent.

With his first opponent down, Wyper's confidence began to rise again. Cupcake's morale, on the other hand, was at an all-time low.

The two managed to fight for another 5 minutes, but the injuries on the pirate's body kept piling up. His stamina was also low due to his poor breathing.

The poor guy was probably the only person in existence to be cursed twice by his Devil Fruit. Not only did he lose his ability to swim, he also lost his ability to breathe properly. It was like acquired asthma.

Finally, Wyper ended his suffering when Cupcake collapsed from all the blood loss. No longer would he be ridiculed for his exceptionally weak and embarrassing Devil Fruit powers.

Eren was quite satisfied with Wyper's performance, though he regretted not keeping the women alive for him to fight instead of the tank. That way he would have been under more pressure, but there was no point in crying over spilled milk.

"So how did you like my sword? Will you use it in the future or will you go back to your bazooka?" Eren finally asked Wyper.

"I have to say that the sword was much better than the bazooka, but it still didn't feel right. A sword is too thin and flimsy, requires too much technique. I need something more primal, something that allows me to fully unleash my power".

Eren smiled, because he had just the right weapon in mind. A spear would be perfect if Wyper could combine it with his high physical strength and speed. It would also fit in well with his image as a tribal warrior.

Eren was glad that Wyper didn't become a sword-user, because he had the feeling that he didn't really fit that weapon. He wanted someone who had used the weapon since childhood and was obsessed with becoming the strongest swordsman in the world like Zoro.

He would have liked to recruit Kuishina, but that idiot had fallen down the stairs a long time ago.

Really, how can a swordswoman die from falling down the stairs? That's really embarrassing.

Anyway, it was time for them to enter Jaya. The Marines would probably arrive soon, and Eren honestly didn't feel like explaining his actions to them. Probably one of the citizens had already alerted them when the fight started.

When the crew entered the town, they looked for the nearest bar and entered it. The owner of the bar was still behind the counter, seemingly undisturbed by the earlier commotion.

"Bring a beer for each of us!" Eren said and threw a small bag filled with a few thousand berries on the bar. It was money he had taken from the pirates he had killed earlier.

Eren was really looking forward to the beer. He hadn't drunk any for about 7 years, since the people on Sky Island didn't know about the divine beverage. This made Eren really miss it. He wasn't an alcoholic or anything, but he liked to enjoy a cold bottle of high-quality beer from time to time.

When the drink arrived, both Wyper and Enel looked at it questioningly, but drank it after seeing how much Eren enjoyed it. While Wyper enjoyed it as well, Enel spat it out immediately.

"What is this disgusting thing? It tastes like shit!"

"Hahaha," Eren just laughed about Enel's reaction. The first time he had tried it on Earth, he had had a similar reaction.

"You have to drink it a few times to get used to the taste." Eren drank the whole glass in one big gulp before turning back to the bartender.

"Could you bring me a whole keg of this beer? I would also like some kind of newspaper and some of the current bounty posters."
