Chapter 149 - Chapter 151

A few miles away from the location where Vash killed agent One, the twins were playing around with the other number agents. But there was a very big difference between them and the ones that Vash fought. The agents that the twins faced off against had a very different attitude towards their fellow comrades. In battle, they were actually nothing like agent One at all. They had great teamwork and they looked out for each other.

Toshiro was fighting agent Two and Four while Lubbock got matched against agent Five. Both Two and Four were loud and very vocal women while Five was a mute man. No matter how Lubbock had tried to taunt him, agent Five would not respond, he would barely show a visible reaction to the taunts at all, something that greatly annoyed Lubbock since one of his favourite things to do in a fight was to taunt enemies until they would go mad. Agent Five was a natural counter to Lubbock's personality. But this didn't mean the agents had an easy time. The twin's powers were extremely difficult to fight against, and even though they outnumbered the twins they could barely keep up with them.

"Toshi, shouldn't we end this soon? The captain is probably done with Doflamingo." Lubbock yelled towards his brother. They had been fighting for a long time and the surrounding area looked like a proper war zone. The buildings were destroyed and almost everything around them was frozen solid, credited to Toshiro.

"I don't know what you're on about. I'm already done here." Toshiro yelled back in a lazy tone.

Lubbock looked back at his brother while dodging attacks from the spear-wielding agent Five, and what he saw was the two female agents frozen in ice all the way up to their necks. "So you went ahead and finished without talking to me first? uncool, Toshi!" Lubbock dodged the spear coming at him and at the same time summoned strings that wrapped themselves around agent Five.

"What are you talking about? Why would I need to talk to you before defeating them?" Toshiro created a chair out of ice and sat down.

"Because now I look like the weaker brother. You defeated two opponents before I defeated one. This is why communication is so important." Lubbock stringed up agent Five in the middle of the air and watched him struggle to get free. When someone got caught in his strings like this one simple tiny little movement was all that was needed for the strings to cut you open. So agent Five already had hundreds of tiny cuts all over his body since he was struggling pretty fiercely.

"You ARE the weaker brother so I don't understand the problem here." Toshiro looked at the two agents he had frozen up in his ice prison.

"One day I will beat you to death and then you will regret ever saying things like that!" Lubbock moved his finger slightly and one of his strings wrapped itself around one of the agent's fingers. And with a sadistic smile on his face, he cut agent Five's finger off. But still, the mute agent showed no reaction, almost like he could feel no pain at all. "This guy is no fun to play with at all..."

"We aren't here to play, and also you make no sense. If you for some reason managed to beat me to death, how would I be able to regret it? I would be dead, no?" Toshiro had now walked up to the two agents encased in ice. And he was observing their masks.

"That kind of talk is the reason as to why I will one day beat you to death," Lubbock said while cutting off agent Five's entire left hand, but still no reaction.

"Keep dreaming, dear brother," Toshiro said and reached out to grab the mask of agent Two. She tilted her head back and spoke through her teeth, "Don't touch me!" The voice of an elderly mature woman came from under the mask.

"Stay still" Toshiro's hand moved quickly and with one quick motion he ripped her mask off. And her true face was now revealed. She looked to be in her late thirties with dark brown hair and brown eyes. She had small amounts of wrinkles around her eyes and on her forehead that displayed her age, but overall she was a very beautiful woman.

"Wow! A beauty!" Lubbock saw her face and immediately left his playmate and rushed over to his brother's side. He leaned in very close to properly inspect her facial features.

"Acceptable!" He said after having inspected her closely.

"What the hell do you mean by that!? Release me from this ice and let's see if you dare say that again!" She yelled while glaring daggers at Lubbock.

"She is dangerous! Keep her on lockdown, Toshi" Lubbock backed off with a mocking smile on his face.

"I can't believe we lost to these two..." The other female agent with her mask still on said in a depressing tone.

"Well, believe it, baby!" Vash appeared beside Lubbock, giving him a good scare.

"Don't sneak up on me like that, Vash. I almost ripped you to pieces, stupid!" Lubbock lowered his hand and breathed out in relief.

"It will never happen again, boss!" Vash saluted nonchalantly with an aura of relaxation and comfort around him, "Now, may I ask why you are chatting with the enemy?" His aura did a one-hundred-eighty turn and his tone went ice cold. And he summoned his gun and shot agent Five in the head, and his head exploded like a watermelon meeting a baseball bat.

"Shit!" Lubbock took a quick step back in surprise, and Vash's current ice-cold aura caused the last two agents bodies to tense up. Toshiro was the only one that seemed semi-calm about the current situation.

"It's been a long time since I saw this side of you, Vash. So this can only mean that you were forced to release your seal, huh?" Toshiro raised his guard a little. He wasn't that worried that Vash would attack them, but he knew full well how Vash gets when he releases the seal on his powers.

"That agent One was stronger than I thought, and he had a troublesome devil fruit so I needed to end it quickly, you know, Toshi!" Vash's aura went into a neutral and calm state again, and he grew a smile on his face.

"I get it. Are those two agents dead?" Toshiro asked calmly.

"Of course they are. Or do you think I'm incapable of killing two tiny government agents?" Vash's tone went cold again and a killer glint appeared inside his eyes as he stared at Toshiro.

"I didn't say that, nor did I imply that you weren't capable of it," Toshiro said calmly while slightly raising his hands in a sign of peace. 'I need to speak to the captain about this soon. Something must be done about this, we can't have Vash enter this state in this upcoming war.'

"Vash, buddy, which seal did you release´?" Lubbock asked nervously. Depending on what seal he released would determine how the twins needed to go about in dealing with him.

"Relax, greenie, only the first one. That agent wasn't Garp or anything, so I didn't need to release more than that." Vash said jokingly with a slight laugh.

"That's good. Well, how about we take these two agents back to the ship. They are coming back with us to the Gotei for interrogation. You wanna help me by taking one of them? And Lubbock can go and fetch the captain, what do you say?" Toshiro hated speaking like this like he was talking to a child, but Vash's state of mind whenever he released a seal was always very sensitive. The world lacked a couple of kingdoms since the last time Amell was here thanks to Vash.

"Sure, I'll take the tall one." Vash approached the maskless agent with confident steps. "Stay away from her, you scum!" Yelled the other agent suddenly and without warning. Maybe because she knew she was an important prisoner she hadn't expected anything to happen by just yelling out some random words.

There was a loud Bang and just like agent Five, her head exploded with blood and gore splattering everywhere on the ground around her body. Toshiro and Lubbock both sighed out loud and cursed themselves for not stopping this from happening.

"Do you wanna say that again?" Vash with an evil smile on his face stood and stared at the headless body of agent Four. He switched target again and aimed at the other agent, "Do you have anything to say to me?" He was close to pulling the trigger but a wall of ice was erected between his gun and the agent Two.

"So, you're choosing her side instead of mine, Toshi?" Vash turned to Toshiro with a stoic expression on his face.

"No, I am on your side, Vash. But we need her, she may have important information that would be useful to us." Toshiro leaked a very cold aura, and he didn't like fighting his own friends, but with Vash, he knew it might be the only way to get him out of this temporary madness.

"Stay out of my way!" Vash aimed his gun at Toshiro, fully prepared to pull the trigger if he was forced to. But like a ghost, a slim but quite muscular arm appeared and grabbed Vash's wrist. "We don't fight our own." The one that held onto Vashs' wrist pulled back his arm and in one quick motion, he broke his arm, and with a quick kick, Vash was forced down on his knees by his unknown assailant.

"Byakuya, it's not that I don't appreciate you stopping by, but shouldn't you be in Wano by now?" Toshiro said to the second division commander that had appeared and stopped Vash.

"In a second!" Byakuya looked down at Vash and with one quick chop, he knocked him unconscious.

"Now to fix this" Byakuya placed a finger over Vash's heart and with the help of a little magic, he sealed his powers again. And after double-checking that everything was alright with Vash he gave himself a pat on the back and turned to Toshiro.

"The plan has changed. I had to come here in person since none of you are carrying any form of long-distance radio on you. Kaido is coming here to Dressrosa." Byakuya said seriously.

"Wait, what? Why would that guy be coming here? Does he know the captain is here?" Lubbock jumped into the conversation from his spot over at agent Five.

"We don't know. But we do know that he has connections inside CP0 so we're thinking that maybe they leaked your location to him. But the reasons as to why he is coming here doesn't matter now. Dressrosa is about to become a battlefield in just a few hours, and what we need to focus on now is getting all the commanders here. You two need to make sure that you are ready for Kaido when he and his followers come here. I will take Vash with me and go and speak with grandpa." Byakuya threw Vash over his shoulder and turned back to Toshiro and Lubbock.

"Good job dealing with these guys. Take her somewhere safe for now, we will deal with her when all of this is over." Byakuya disappeared in a burst of speed.

"Well, this day took one hell of a turn," Agent Two said with an exhausted expression, and Toshiro looked at her with a "You don't say" look.
