Leon's flying Palace Roof...
Leon stood up, rubble and dust falling off his large scaly body. Arc fell to the ground, out of stamina. "You punk! What makes you think you can challenge one of the Four Emperors of the Sea?" panted Leon furiously as he lifted his sword. "Thunder Trigram Bagua!" he roared. Arc lifted his sword to block the slash but it was too strong. He flew backwards, on the edge of the flying Palace roof. "Huff...huff... Divine Departure!" began Arc. Leon quickly intervened with Conquest of the Paramount Nation, blocking Arc's attack. Spurts of Aura crackled out of Leon's blade, causing Arc's sword to fly out of his hand and down the roof. The sword plummeted and disappeared in the night sky. "Hey! King Egghead gifted that sword to me!" cried out Arc. Arc's sword was his pride and joy and a symbolism of who he idolised - the now deceased King Egghead. "Well, you'll never see it again!" cackled Leon. Arc suddenly became engulfed with rage and wanted to blast Leon's head off but he was unarmed. "Now, now, you small-timer, let me show you another form of Advanced Aura - Conqueror's Aura!" announced Leon. Arc shouted in fear as Leon twirled his sword in the air. The sword burst into colours of deep scarlet and glimmering purple. "Conqueror's Technique : Dominator's Spirit!" yelled Leon. Leon jabbed his sword forward but it came no where close to touching Arc. Arc, believing he had been spared, breathed a sigh of relief. The next second, Arc was struck by an extremely powerful blast. Arc yelled in pain, blood spurting out of his body. "Conqueror's Aura allows you to launch devastating attacks from afar! It allows you to strike an enemy without even touching them! Also, the Conqueror's Aura shuts the enemy's mind down, causing the enemy to be knocked out - and sometimes dead!" explained Leon. Arc fell through the air, toppling and plummeting down and down and his sight was no more, a pitch black world.
World Government HQ...
"As you know, bearers of Testament Blood are our natural enemies! They once almost overtook us, almost eight hundred years ago. But we defeated them and today's bearers of the Bloodline don't even know that they have it!" explained Skye, "Harbor, show us the tab on all known Testament Blood bearers." Harbor cleared his throat before beginning. "Arc, the Silver Knight. Fajita, the Gravity King. Oxford, the Executioner. Law, the Surgeon of Death. Cypher, the War Machine. Nayon, the Nightmare. 'The Umbra', who has no epithet. Marvel and Sabre - who are both Emperors of the Sea. Shall I say the ones that are deceased?" listed Harbor. "Oh, no, no, we all know who is the most important Testament Blood carrier of all - the Great Pirate King, who is now deceased, Roger!" Skye replied. "Ahh, yes, Roger... his mastery on all Three Spheres of Aura was magnificent! Never saw it before in my life! And another one who has deceased but with magnificent skills of Aura - King Egghead!" exclaimed Fade. "Speaking of Egghead, do you think that his old sword, Ace, will Awaken?" asked Harbor in ushered tones. "No, I do not. The old sword, Ace, is currently in the hands of one of the Worst Generation and Testament Blood carriers - Arc, the Silver Knight! He is currently engaged in a battle against Leon! If Leon finishes him quick, then no harm will be done!" said Skye confidently. "But what if Ace is to Awaken? I've heard that the sword will give the wielder unlimited Aura power and mastery as well as Reality-Altering powers!" cried Fade. "Do not worry, do not worry! Ace will not Awaken EVER again! My... the last time it Awakened..." trailed off Skye. "That was 800 years ago," reassured Harbor.
Lileptorontea...
Arc, so close to death, fell through the air, unconscious and barely breathing. A blue and golden light gleamed below him. Suddenly, a large bird of blue and golden flames swooped in and caught him. It was Marco! As well as Arc, Marco also had his sword carried on his back. Marco flew through the air and landed on a building. "Regeneration Flames!" he cried out anxiously. The flames that Marco created seemed to help Arc a tiny bit more with his breathing, but nothing else. "Oh no, oh no! Regeneration Flames!" he cried again, desperately. Nothing happened. "NO! Hang in there, Arc!" Marco yelled. Suddenly, Arc's sword glowed golden. It lit up the night skies of Lileptorontea and a halo surrounded the sword. The sword created a golden orb that floated to Arc. The golden orb went into him and a giant GONG resonated. Arc woke up. "You're back, Arc! And check it out - your sword seems to have something going on!" cried out Marco in happiness. "My sword? You mean 'Ace'? Come on, I don't have time to waste! Carry me back to Leon's flying roof!" cried out Arc. "Yes, sir!" roared Marco.
Leon's Flying Palace Roof...
Arc leapt off Marco's back and onto the roof, ready to battle once more. "So, you're back! And with your sword! What happened to it?" cried out an astonished Leon. "It's Awakened," Arc said simply, "and it's called 'Ace'!" Leon growled. "You will never beat me!" he roared as he transformed into his Dragon form. "Heatwave Burst!" he roared. Arc lifted his glowing sword and slashed. The oncoming flames disappeared. Leon cried out in shock. Arc grinned and slowly began to walk towards Leon. Aura filled his hand and sword. Then, Flow Aura embedded his sword as well. Finally, Conqueror's Aura flowed into his sword. "Y-you can do that too?" cried out the frightened dragon. "Yes... and I'm Arc! And I'm going to be... the King of the Pirates!" Arc replied majestically. Then he leapt. Into the air, towards Leon at high velocity. Arc held out his sword. "And nothing's going to hold me back! Nothing! Not even DRAGONS! Divine... DEPARTURE!" Arc roared. The skies of Lileptorontea turned golden as a THUMP was heard. Leon's dragon head had fallen off. Arc had successfully decapitated the nigh-invincible Emperor of the Sea - Leon. And nothing was going to go in his way to become the King of the Pirates.
World Government HQ...
"It did Awaken! We're doomed!" yelled Skye in fear. Fade and Harbor also looked rather discomforted. "Issue massive bounties on Arc, Law and Cypher! Also give Fajita and Oxford a fairly high bounty as well!" ordered Skye.
The new bounties for the Five rebels were...
Arc : A whopping $4,000,000,000
Law : $1,500,000,000
Cypher : $1,500,000,000
Fajita : $750,000,000
Oxford : $750,000,000
