Emperor and Dragon ( A Black Clover Fanfiction)

Back at the market, Bandit never went any farther into town. Something shiny caught his eye at one of the stalls and he'd been shopping ever since. Even more than he would have been normally because he could carry everything in his brand-new storage ring. He could not peel his eyes from all the treasure around until a man flew over the city. Everyone saw it and to their surprise it was none other than the hero of the Coliseum, Diamante one of the executives of the Donquixote family.

"That was Diamante! Did something happen at the New Corrida Coliseum? We should go investigate sir." Bandit noticed an extra spiky headed guy wearing a black coat with gold studs and gears sown on, white pants and a white mask to cover his lower face and goggles over his eyes. But more interesting was the massive man next to him. He stood much taller than Diamante and was rock solid muscle, even more than the beefed-up Lao G was. He wore a solid gold gladiator's outfit with armor only covering his legs and stomach area sporting spade motifs, a gold helmet with long grey hair flowing out from under, and black gloves and shorts. On both of his spiked shoulders was a large spade tattoo. The giant didn't answer but nodded in approval and went towards the Coliseum.

"Boss careful, I think that big guy is Pica one of the executives and the other guy is Gladius an offi- Huh where'd he go? Dammit Boss!" He saw Bandit already sprinting after them.

"Yo big fella! That gold gladiator armor is waaaay too clean! How much ya want for it!?"

"What? Did you seriously just ask to buy his armor? Get out of my sight before I get angry!" Gladius hair was starting to grow sharper by the second.

"Whoa don't blow ya top man, no one's talking to you. But seriously, name ya price big fella!"

"My armor is not for sale. Now begone." The giant finally spoke in an alarmingly high-pitched voice. As funny as it was, anyone who knew anything about the Donquixote pirates knew that to laugh at Pica's voice meant death, so the area fell silent as people held their laughs. Everyone but bandit, he was rolling on the ground laughing so hard tears were streaming down his face. Pica's rage already nearing it's limit, the ground beneath them began to tremble.

"Wait Pica, you'll destroy the mountain!"

"Kill him quickly Gladius." The giant grumbled.

The masked man stretched a hand and his forearm exploded sending a wave of shrapnel at Bandit who was still laughing. Not a single shard touched him, the sand around him started to act on its own catching all the oncoming shards.

"Hahaha, nah that won't work. Ya need more fire power to hurt me." Realizing he was under attack Bandit stopped laughing and stood up.

"Then try this!" Pica's hand was now shaped like a giant flail and made of stone and he tried to smash bandit who quickly flipped away.

"Hahaha Ya gotta stop talking! I can't laugh and fight at the same time!" Bandit's taunts only made Pica more and more angry. He slipped into the ground somehow and reemerged behind Bandit trying to smash him again. Gold dust gathered in Bandit's hands as he made a motion of pulling a bowstring and his new bow appeared already nocked with a mana arrow. His first shot blew Pica's head off but it was stone, and the whole body crumbled. "Can't be that easy…" Stone pillars emerged from the ground and tried to smash into Bandit, but he dodged them all narrowly. Having realized Pica was able to hide in stone, Bandit understood the predicament he was in. The entire mountain was a vantage point for Pica. "This could be a problem…" Bandit smacked his head remembering something important. "Oh duh! Pride. YOOO BABY VOICE PICA IS THE WEAKEST EXECUTIVE IN A WEAK CREW!"

That was all it took. An enraged giant Pica of stone emerged from the ceiling leading with a great fist, smashing down like a meteor. Bandit unleashed a volley of countless arrows to grind down the massive stone man, until finally the real one emerged wielding a katana bigger than himself. Bandit fired several more shots at him and Pica was able to swing the katana skillfully enough to bat them all away. A heavy downwards slash was barely blocked by Bandit's bow and sent him crashing to the ground. Sand broke his fall allowing him to hit the ground relatively unhurt. Pica landed a short distance away for him "Stone wave!" He swung his sword along the ground as ripples of stone shot towards Bandit rosing high and jagged when they got close. Bandit rolled back barely dodging them and fired a few shots to stop the others from coming. Bandit set his sights on Pica who had disappeared again into the ground. This time he was ready. "Hahaha so predictable." Pica emerged behind him about to swing his sword down, but he suddenly stopped. That is when he noticed sand climbing his body. "This is checkmate big fella. I'm sure ya peeped it getting harder to move through the stone. I've been breaking down the underground into sand while we were fighting to get more control o'er our battlefield. And you swam right into my trap like a lil guppie. SAND COFFIN!" More sand began wrapping around Pica when Bandit held a hand out.

"YOU IDIOT IF I ASSIMILATE IT ALL IT WILL RETURN TO STONE!" Pica did just that the sand surrounding him began to assimilate into stone on his body. Soon it became a battle of willpower whether Pica would grow or be crushed.

"Let's try a lil' science experiment!" Sand continued converging on Pica with increasing pressure and volume until he was a big ball of sand and stone that lifted into the air. "Molten sand burial!" The entire ball condensed to half it's size as the core began to vibrate at extreme speeds. The sand at the core moved so fast it began to produce heat turning it into a molten sphere. Soon Pica's resistance could no longer be felt. The ball hit the floor and the sand and stone cleared away to reveal a statue of diamond in the shape of an agonized Pica. "Hahahaha ya know what they say, pressure breaks pipes or makes diamonds!"

"Looks like you finished up here Boss." Jude walked up to Bandit who was admiring his new statue "Ugh what a creepy expression."

"Hahaha right? It'll be a nice decoration at the Golden Raccoon" Bandit says putting the statue in his ring.

"You can't put that in the Inn."

"What? It's a big friggin' diamond! And I made it!"

"Don't care it's too ugly. Customers will be disturbed."

"I'm still gonna do it."

"And I'll smash it to pieces."

"Whatever asshole…what happened to the spiky dude?"

"He's been taken care of." During the final stint of Bandit and Pica's battle, Gladius tried to fire at Bandit. A bang did go off however, the only change to the scene was a small hole in between his eyes as he stood there lifeless. Across the way Jude sat comfortably on a market rooftop, having fired a single shot of magic from a magic bowgun he effectively provided cover and took a foe down. "How about we let them have their fun…"

"Hahaha good stuff! I can always count on you Jude!"

"Thank you sir." Jude was a lot more proud to be complimented than he showed.

"Let's go catch anotha body!" Bandit ran off again.

Kirsch had found himself in a flower garden illuminated by crystals. Colorful and exotic plants lined the path's as the glowing crystals and some mushrooms created areas of soft lights giving the area an otherworldly glow. It captured his attention and he could not tear himself away. "A garden inside a mountain cave? How odd. Still, this beauty… It's different from the sword but is in no way inferior in splendor. I shall claim this as my personal garden once we finish taking the city."

"Taking the city? Monet was correct, you're one of the child invaders running loose in Joker City." Behind Kirsch a man wearing a white coat, slacks and dress shoes approached. His sideburns went down into a zigzag pattern along with his beard and his eyes were hidden behind dark shades. For some odd reason there was a spoon clinging to the side of his otherwise extremely serious looking face. "I was here enjoying a cup of tea only to find the enemy, how fortunate."

"Fortunate indeed, now I don't have to leave this beautiful Garden to complete my mission. Be grateful you get to witness my Beautiful Spring Swordplay."

"Hmph, my Demon Bamboo swordplay is much deadlier." Kirsch became even more excited to know he would be facing a fellow swordsman.

"Vergo, you don't use a sword." Kirsch hadn't noticed but perched in the tree above watching like a hawk was a real living harpy. From the legs up she was a gorgeous woman with long wavy green hair and sharp brown eyes. However halfway below her knees her legs were like that of a bird and her arms tapered into large white wings. She wore a crop top and tight striped pants that stopped just before the human skin on her legs ended, showing her curvy figure. "Also please take your teaspoon off of your face, it's rather embarrassing."

"Ah that's true I don't use a sword." Vergo says throwing the spoon aside.

"Oh my, a Harpy. So the myths of their beauty were true."

"You're quite the charmer, I bet the girls back home must love you." The Harpy put a wing up to cover her face. "It's a shame you have to die so young." A sadistic smile crept onto her face as she licked her lips in anticipation of the fight.

"Then there is no shame to be had, you two will be the ones to die here." Kirsch said calmly drawing his sword. When he took his stance a light gust of refreshing wind blew around him as sakura petals fluttered about. They both could feel a lulling sensation coming from Kirsch, inviting them to an eternal sleep with his swordplay.

"So confident too? If only you were older hahaha."

"Monet stop fooling around." Vergo said stoically. "He may have some skill."

"I'm only joking. Shall we begin?" Monet took to the skies and with each flap of her wings snow spread across the battlefield.

"Snow? How fitting, the most beautiful spring's bloom from the harshest winters." Kirsch took the initiative advancing with swift graceful steps towards Vergo. Sakura petals swirled around the two of them masking a slash at Vergo's throat. A loud clang rang out as Kirsch's blade met with a solid object, a single shoot of bamboo. "(To block my sword with bamboo? I must admit haki is somewhat impressive.)" Vergo used brute strength to push Kirsch back and swung the bamboo at him, to Kirsch's surprise he backstepped into a wall of snow. He pivoted around the wall and Vergo destroyed it in his place. Blinded by snow and petals Vergo lost sight of his target.

"Vergo behind you!" Vergo barely turned in time to see Kirsch coming from behind him blocked the first slash, but Kirsch's style was as relentless as elegant. Every pose was accompanied with a nearly unpredictable strike, Vergo's eyes were useless to him. His sensory haki could only keep up so much as cuts appeared all over his body. A cushion of snow slowed a critical slash so Vergo could defend, and then became a giant spike forcing Kirsch to step back.

With the space provided Vergo fired several magic bullets through his bamboo like spitballs with gradually increasing power. Kirsch cut the first and second however several more exploded into him sending him crashing across the garden ruining a large patch of flowers and his clothes.

Kirsch got up and dusted himself off "My clothes…the garden… they're both ruined…" He was trembling with rage.

"Crying over your clothes in a fight? I believed you be more mature than that." Monet mocked.

"You ruined them!"

"So?" Vergo was about to attack but the overwhelming fiend aura coming from the boy made him jump back instead of forward.

"YOU MADE THEM UGLY! I'LL KILL YOU!!" Kirsch's entire disposition changed and he gave off an overwhelming feeling of rage and destruction. For a moment he didn't seem human anymore, all they could feel from him was slaughter. The whole city could feel seething hatred radiating from one point, but as suddenly as it started it stopped when he picked up his sword. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath "The sword is beautiful. The sword is me. I am beautiful." When Kirsch opened his eyes again he was calm. The killer intent was still overflowing from him, but now it was focused and colder. "For your transgressions the penalty, is death. Bankai." He drops his sword straight down onto the ground and it disappears beneath the earth. "Senbonzakura Kageyoshi." From behind him a thousand pink swords line up in several rows and dissipates into countless cherry blossoms each one actually a deadly blade. Vergo attacked with a full force swing of his bamboo having his entire body coated in armament haki. His attack was met with a wall of pink, Kirsch waved his hand and the bamboo was shredded to pieces and exploded into Vergo. Monet dove to save the bloody cut up Vergo from a pink tsunami coming to destroy him, swooping the mangled body up just in time. "There is no escape." Monet did her best to dodge the onslaught of cherry blossoms coming from all directions, but they were both struck down.

Thanks to her logia abilities Monet was able to reform herself and fly away. "He was hiding powers like this? There's no way I can beat him. It's to late for Vergo but I can make my escape and report to Doflamingo."

"Don't think a devil fruit can save you either." Kirsch began weaving handsigns "Water style x senbonzakura: beautiful water torture." A large portion of his cherry blossoms carrying water droplets around them chase and surround her. When they gather she's trapped in a giant ball of water with petals floating all around. The glow of the petals made the entire sphere give off a beautiful pink radiance. As being a devil fruit user in water left her unable to move, Monet was defenseless against the incoming blades. Having destroyed the garden completely Kirsch lost interest and moved on to another location.

"You must be Donquixote Doflamingo." Inside a hidden facility where the toys are made to work as slaves, referred to as the toy house. Noelle sits comfortably in the club pattern throne once belonging to the executive officer Trebol.

"Little girl, why are you sitting there, and why is my city in chaos?" A tall and lean man with short blond hair and narrow sunglasses stood before Noelle. Despite the big grin across his face the veins on his forehead were bulging like crazy. He wore bright tiger striped pants and a open white shirt under an oversized pink feather coat.

On either side of Noelle is a water prison one holding the defeated executive officer Trebol, a big snotty old man, and the other holds the officer Sugar, a woman with the appearance of a child. "I liked the seat, so I took it. Worms got in my way so they were crushed. It's pretty simple actually." A few moments ago, she followed a cute looking toy into a room and it turned out to be the Toy House (Also Sugar's hiding spot). She defeated both devil fruit users swiftly by trapping them in water until they passed out. And in sugar's case being knocked out meant the undoing of her devil fruit's effects. The toys were returned to normal. Kidnapped people, enemy prisoners, losers from among the coliseum matches and even wild animals were among those turned into toys. Their return to normal caused mass panic across the city.

"So it's true? My family really was beaten again. I got them all back with a fresh start in Joker city to get beaten by snot nosed kids again? What is this?"

"I don't know what you're going on about, but my family is just a bad match-up for you guys. There was no way you were going to win."

Doflamingo's veins were about to burst out of his head.
