The Janitor

Noctis had only just appeared in the financial district of Los Diablos' operation, yet he used tactics that were far from what a sane man would use in order to get a rise out of his enemies. The whole of the long-leg's body would begin to fume with gas, slowly expanding from his position and filling up the alleyway he resided in before spilling out onto the streets to his immediate side. The nature of the gas was foreign to the residents of the district, but that alone expedited the effect that it'd cause. As the purple-hued gas began to waft out onto the streets and people began to notice, panic began to set in fairly quickly. As one person noticed and began to back up, the next in line would take note as well, spreading hysteria one person at a time until the local block began to clear up and leave Noctis by his lonesome in enemy territory.

It was this evacuation by fear that would be the first steps to the man's demise. While regular residents would begin to flee from the effects of the gas, the higher ups in the sector would instead begin to move towards the event as word reached their ears. Two individuals came from the nearest building to investigate the happenings, only to be greeted with a stinging sensation in their lungs as the gas began to affect their breathing. Their reaction to this was simple, although not nearly as advanced as those in Lust's domain. Rather than equipping themselves with breathing apparatuses, they'd instead use their Busoshoku Haki to reinforce their innards.

Aside from their capability of using haki, these men were otherwise unimportant. The power of their Busoshoku would keep the effects of the gas from attacking their nervous system, but the base damage the gas would cause to their breathing would still continue, albeit at a reduced pace. Even being able to feel the sting as they inhaled, the two men would creep forwards towards the source of the gas - a job belonging to the boss at their firm.

Noctis



The Black Iconoclasm

Rather than concentrating the Rokumori Gas in a specific area to increase it's potency, Noctis let it flow freely out into the streets and into the sector, threatening to consume the entire financial district in due time with a noxious purple haze. As people scrambled to evacuate, Noctis felt more at ease knowing that those who remained were likely to be enemies, staunch defenders of the district.

Such men, predictably, appeared; maneuvering their way through the poison gradually from a nearby building, making headway towards the longleg a good deal faster than the average civilian would be able to. Whatever the cause was, be it their fortitude or their own supernatural abilities, Noctis looked to test the waters while simultaneously seeking to conclusively deal with them.

As the two individuals came closer to 30m away from him, Noctis gathered some of the Rokumori Gas generated into his palm, compressing it into his Teibaku, which had served him well in dealing with grunts up to this point. The moment the grouped men crossed the threshold, Noctis pivoted to throw the orb of purple gas, which neatly concealed itself in the already gaseous environment around them. Even if they were able to somewhat withstand the exposure to Noctis' toxin, the concussive force of his attack would serve to set a good baseline for their physical durability, while also serving to expedite his Rokumori Gas output.

Regardless of the outcome, the longer higher ups took to reach his position, the longer Noctis would have to recuperate and acclimate to the injuries he sustained fighting Lust, much of the pain he felt in his body already starting to fade, outside of his right leg which took a bit more of a beating.

The gaseous long-leg targeted the two men with another one of his signature explosives. These men, who'd been steadily moving through the deadly gas towards him, weren't necessarily fast, but had managed to react regardless. A sense of dread had overcome the two of them, drawing their eyes towards the source. Even while nearly invisible, they were able to see the orb just fast enough to cause them to leap to the side, preventing them from taking the full-force of its explosive power.

Leaping to the side had caused them to be blown several feet away from each other. Scrapes and bruises littered their body, but the two men stood up. They were injured, but now they were angry. Turning towards the direction the explosive had come from, they both continued to make their way through the thick gas, an internal pain beginning to scratch at their lungs from inhaling it.

The Black Iconoclasm

As the men continued towards Noctis, the longleg found anger from their tenacity, as his body turned to face them; and while they were perturbed from the assault, it paled in comparison to Noctis' own irritation, something that quickly shifted into a near tangible bloodlust that poured out of him much like the gas in the air. Noctis eyes narrowed underneath his mask, his cloak begining to flutter chaotically. Though the men couldn't see it, the longleg's face became stoic and empty, something he hadn't slipped into since his days as a slave fighter, picking off the opposition with little care for their status as living, thinking people.

This feeling of pure predation would reach the two men shortly before Noctis himself would, rushing them at his own leisure. It was quick, but not up to the point of exertion [4] for him, as he looked to cleave through the two men with one swift kick, a small portion of the gas in the air curling around his foot like the lengthy blade of an axe. All the while Noctis continued his flow of gas, another Teibaku coming to form within his hand in preparation for further resistance. Whatever happened, the two men served as the perfect avenue to both vent his anger and draw an even greater picture with what remained of them in the end.

Since Noctis had begun his mission against Los Diablos, it had seemed as if he'd done everything in his power to deal with threats without much effort. The only fight that seemed to have taken an ounce of effort was his final interaction with Lust, which had forced his hand and he'd taken damage in order to conclude that fight on top. Yet, now, when faced with the threat of two near non-threatening men, the long-leg had begun to lose his temper. Even if they weren't powerful by other standards, their use of Busoshoku Haki on their insides had greatly reduced the effect of his noxious gas and they'd be upon him within moments because of it. Instead of attacking at range with another explosion as he'd grown accustomed to doing, the man moved forward on his own to end the fight with his own, bare hands.

The two men that had come to survey the area and meet their opponent could barely stand in the wake of Noctis' moderate rage. The man's long-leg, bladed by the pull of the air around it, managed to cleave across the abdomen of both men in a single swing, tearing them in half. Compared to other, weaker humans, they were considerably more durable. Rather than being cut by the blade of wind, it had only served to start the damage, with Noctis' leg doing most of the work afterwards. Without a clean cut severing them in two, the area turned into a gruesome seen of blood and entrails scattered for several feet. Yet, even if it appeared barbaric, the end result was the same - Noctis had killed his enemies.

Unfortunately, killing these two men wasn't the end of things in the financial district of Los Diablos' operation. Even if the men that worked here were smarter than others, they were just as delusional as the lesser cultists. Most of the people in the district had turned away, but a crowd of others had formed and begun to move towards the center of the gas. These men weren't as adept as the two that Noctis had just laid to waste, but this didn't seem to stop them. Even as they began to drop to the poison effects of the Rokumori Gas, they moved forward. The crowd of people breathing it in thinning the air as they moved, thereby lowering the effects of the gas on those following. More and more, further and further, the crowd moved through the gas. Although they couldn't see well, they moved in Noctis' direction.

Enemies: 30

Noctis



The Black Iconoclasm

Though Noctis' composure had faltered momentarily, leaving a bloody message in it's wake, the sheer number of devout followers that began to make their way towards the longleg drew him back to reality and his purpose in being there, to instill fear and unease and draw out the sin priests.

Yet as the mass continued down the street, it became clear they were steadily overcoming Noctis' output at the cost of their own lives. Even if it was unintentional, it was certainly unnerving as Noctis struggled for a moment to overpower them, only to recognize the futility of the effort. Thinking quickly, Noctis drew Kuroi and partitioned the gas he had released thus far in the range of his ability, the gas that hung within the street and surrounded the crowd of people, and the gas that had covered the rest of the sector.

Directing the full focus of his Rokumori gas generation onto the street, Noctis tossed the Teibaku he had used down the center to temporarily offset the crowd's consumption as well as disperse any who may have clustered. Pulling the ignition stone from his pocket, Noctis struck the flint against his blade, creating a shower of sparks that quickly ignited the gas in front of him, sending a torrent of fire down the street and igniting the buildings that resided next to it. Those unfortunate enough to be left in it's path would be little more than ash after the brunt of the assault.

Noctis had no way to be sure of survivors or those who remained, but given the flashy nature of the current engagement, it was time to reposition slightly. Having separated a good bulk of his gas in the sector from the street where the crowd had gathered, the cloaked longleg slipped into what remained unignited and continued his generation of gas at his previous position remotely, floating up to the roof of a nearby building, only twenty or so meters away, under the cover of the smoke and poison in the air, where he could observe those who came to investigate the "source" of the from a birds eye view, his gaseous body fading into the air to further hide his presence while he began to rack up the body count in the financial sector.

The long-leg attacked the crowd moving towards him with two various explosions. The first dealt with a few of those close to it, instilling fear into others, but the majority of the mob continued to move forward regardless. That is, up until he lit the Rokumori Gas he'd been releasing for some time now. The group that had begun to move through the gas was dealt with fairly easily by this, none of them having the power to deny it on their own. Yet, even though the brunt of his current enemies had been dealt with by this blast, a few still remained. Some burned by the explosion, others having been nowhere near it and only recently joining to push through the haze, more cultists moved towards Noctis like lambs to the slaughter.

By the time the few remaining cultists made it to where Noctis had been, he had long-since moved on to the rooftop of a nearby building. With no one up there to attack him, the man was able to get a good view of small portion of the district he found himself in. Once again, the buildings around him all looked relatively similar with nothing really to set them apart from each other. Below him, more cultists were coming out of buildings and alleyways towards the explosion that had more than alerted anyone in the surrounding blocks. Some were on Den-Dens speaking to various people, others were quietly searching for the terrorist that had snuck into their territory. There was only one thing that Noctis could take out of this - He was being hunted.

The Black Iconoclasm

Noctis watched on from above as those who remained and those who had been drawn out recklessly entered the Rokumori gas the longleg had begun generating at his previous position, it's toll immediately becoming apparent as civilian cultists hacked and wheezed in between short bursts of words to their den den mushi. Is this what it's like to have a greater calling..? Noctis thought to himself, wondering if it was faith that drove these men and women to die like drones, or something greater and altogether more sinister.

Either way, what he offered them now was a mercy, for what he could provide. He wasn't versed in sophistry and the abstract, unable to bring them out of their delusions in any other way aside from simple death. Soon, the newcomers who hadn't exposed themselves nearly as long came across the visceral scene of the two men who had been slaughtered by hand rather than by gas, which seemed to strike an even greater chord with those in Los Diablos, as if it weren't strictly some well thought-out, tactical assault on the Sixth District, but rather that of a fickle and enraged predator, nearly indiscriminate in his targets. No one was safe, and they weren't entirely wrong to think so.

This only meant that the pursuit for whomever was responsible was to intensify, something well within the realm of expectations for Noctis, even if he had gotten sloppy for a moment. As more people packed into the gas, they were left completely unaware of the danger it still presented them, as if they hadn't learned from the crowd that had burnt to death moments ago. The flames from burning buildings and the embers it poured out had been slow to ignite what was left of the partitioned gas, but it was inevitable given the scale of the destruction.

Noctis took a few steps back and held off on generating anymore Rokumori gas as flames circled from both ends, eating up the gas and turning the remnants of the surrounding buildings into a burning hellscape all it's own, including the facility the longleg had found as a roost. Quickly ascending a few meters into the air, he distanced himself from the blaze and it's heat, looking on as screams quickly became silenced. Still, maintaining flight put a sort of unnecessary strain on his lower body, something that had sparked agitation in his previously wounded leg.

Descending to a notably less on fire causeway, Noctis knelt down to give himself a moment's respite against his better judgement, using his blade to prop himself up. Though he was far from well versed in using it, Noctis took a deep breath to activate his Observation Haki, simply on the off chance his judgement held merit.

Leaving a trail of mangled corpses and burning buildings in his wake, Noctis moved forward through the financial district of Los Diablos' holdings. Those that were to flee had already done so, and those that were here to stay had, for the most part, entered the noxious gas of their own volition and felt the repercussions for their actions. As the long-leg moved to a safer location, free of his own mess, he once again acknowledged his wounds and chose a smarter way of moving forward rather than marching on with the cards he'd pulled so far.

As he began to use his Kenbunshoku Haki to search out the surrounding area and absorb whatever knowledge it could bring him, he noticed something - nothing. The bodies marching towards what was left of his Rokumori Gas were the only ones in range of his haki in that moment, but there was still more to be taken from the usage of this sixth sense. While there was no immediate danger within his vicinity, he'd opened his soul to much more than that. A feeling of unease swept over Noctis' body with no direction to follow or any reason, but a real sense of urgency nonetheless.

As Noctis opened himself to the influx of information, he immediately regretted his decision as his body shivered from head to toe, and goosebumps started to form on his skin. It was a sensation he hadn't felt before, but it was familiar nonetheless. It was sickly and concerning, as if his life was in danger. Still, it wasn't as immediate of a sensation as he had felt facing Garrolt Taylor, nor as intense. It was far more foreboding, warning the longleg to cease his actions, or else.

Yet, through all of the unease he felt, the sensation itself poked and prodded at Noctis' buttons. Anger and irritation began to swell from within; the sheer audacity of whatever entity or group that had caused him to feel such a way only served to fuel the fires inside of Noctis, quickly burning away whatever hesitation it might have granted him, and bolstered his will in turn.

Having a newfound drive, the cloaked figure brought himself to his feet and stood tall, making no effort to conceal or temper his malevolence and animosity towards those who called themselves Los Diablos. His wounds ached but were dull in comparison to his rage. Hoisting Kuroi to rest on his shoulder, Rokumori gas began to form and concentrate and cling tightly to the edges of the blade, creating an ominous and energetic outline around it. With his observation maintained, the emboldened Noctis readied himself to face whatever threats came.

Noctis' Kenbunshoku Haki alerted him to a foreboding danger that could not be seen, but in the wake of this ominous feeling, the long-leg managed to stand tall. Those that knew of the man's life story could hardly blame him; having survived many years fighting for his life as a slave in Baltigo's underworld and even the recent takeaway high of having defeated the Sin Priest of Lust, Noctis' willpower was at the point where his confidence was peaking. While this confidence could make up a powerful ally for the battles to come, Noctis was towing a thin line, liable to break into cockiness if he couldn't keep himself grounded.

As the long-leg stood tall, Rokumori Gas building around the edges of his weapon, the building down the street exploded. A few screams of terror could be heard spilling out from the resulting smoke and debris, but one fact was more important than the scene that had begun to unfold. The area that had exploded was several buildings further than the area that Noctis' had originally began to release Rokumori Gas. The explosion, this time, was not his doing.

More screams. The ground begins to shake, the glass windows on all nearby buildings rattling with it. From the smoke comes a large cleave in the ground, lifting more smoke into the air and clearing out the gas the remained in the streets below. From where he stood, there was little for Noctis to see aside from a few people fleeing form the smoke, but once again, the foreboding feeling struck through his body. Even in the wake of his willpower, one idea seemed to repeat itself as if being whispered in his ear:

Run.

Noctis' eyes narrowed and his zeal was tempered as the earth quaked with explosive force coming from the distance, beyond the damage the longleg had caused himself. "Lust..?" he pondered to himself, well aware that her survival was all but impossible. Still, her penchant for explosives is what defined her, but the feeling of fear that struggled to draw itself to the surface within him was something foreign entirely. Screams bellowed out from behind the smoke and gas, but these were not screams of the unknown panic Noctis had generated. They were screams of dread, as if their fates had been sealed too soon.

The Rokumori Gas around Kuroi began to disperse as Noctis brought himself low, observing the developments from above. Perhaps subconsciously, he dispelled his Kenbunshoku Haki in order to do so, so that he might further resist the temptation to simply flee without learning anything. The quakes began to intensify steadily alongside the screams, growing closer with every second. Then, without reason or provocation, the smoke and gas that was left on the street were uplifted and dispersed, torn away by a force beyond his sight.

Though the fires still burned and smoke soon quickly filled the air, Noctis stood firmly at the edge of his building, ready to submit to his base desires and retreat at a moment's notice, his body already becoming closer to transparent in preparation.

From the window of their office, the Sin Priests of Greed and Envy could see the billowing clouds of smoke and dust filling the streets down the road. Envy sat in a chair at the other end of the office, sipping a glass of scotch and watching the hellish scene unfold. Greed, on the other hand, took a front row seat to the action, watching whilst standing in front of the large window that separated them from the portion of the district they controlled.

"Tch." Greed clicked his tongue before stepping to the desk immediately behind him and taking a den-den mushi in his hands. Dialing a few numbers, the man raised the den-den to his ear and waited for the person on the other end to pick up. "Sloth, you decrepit trash. Control your monster!" He shouted into the device, but his voice was wasn't heard for very long before the call was cut off.

In a fit of rage having been hung up on, Greed threw the den-den mushi at the closest wall, smashing its shell and obliterating the small creature. He gripped his own glass of scotch and took a long drink before pressing a button on the desk.

The door on the far end of the room opened up, letting in a tall, thin man dressed in a nice suit. "Marco," Greed began. "Go see if you can't control that thing."

With a nod and a bow, the man exited as quickly as he had entered.

"Damn that old man."



Noctis crouched near the edge of the building, watching the streets below and observing the large cloud of smoke. From his vantage point, the long-leg could only really see the people that managed to flee from the debris, screaming as they ran. As the cloud of dust began to clear out, a large figure could be seen twisting and turning within, but the heavy cloud was still too dense to really garner a lot of information.

A loud screech rang out from the dust, causing the windows to quiver once again. This scream was followed by the mangled bodies of a few individuals that were't able to flee being thrown out of the smoke. Colliding with the concrete streets, they were unrecognizable by the time they came to rest, but from the direction that they were thrown in came a tall, suited man moving towards the smoke.

This individual ignored the bodies as they fell, walking along without a care in the world before the sight of him was lost to the smoke.

Noctis clung to his composure as more of the creature's carnage found it's way through the smoke and into his field of view, the corpses no worse for wear than what he had done only moments ago. Still, they offered him nothing in terms of identity or location. If the titles of sins were given based on their occupations and personalities, surely the monster acting now wasn't the likes of greed or envy. Still, that assumption wasn't something Noctis was willing to act on, at least not with only anecdotal evidence. He'd need to get closer.

Then, as if reading his thoughts and concerns, a man in a suit came into the fray, seemingly unconcerned with the destruction that had transpired. "Greed? Envy?" he wondered to himself. There was no way to tell for sure, but Noctis began to float the perimeter, clear as the air itself, of the still standing buildings. Keeping nearly a 50 meter gap in distance between himself and the newcomer, Noctis entered the smoke all the same in order to keep an eye on the man from the rooftops above, as well as potentially getting a peek at the source of the calamities beyond.

The man in the suit entered the smoke without a care in the world. Marco was one of the most trusted employees of Greed and Envy and an avid participant in the activities of Los Diablos. His personality made him more fit to partake in the actions of the financial sector, but his devotion to the cause was even greater than the majority of the Sin Priests. He did what he was told with energy and vigor, never thinking twice about his own safety in comparison to his actions as they related to the cult.

As Noctis followed the suited man and they grew closer to the cause of the destruction, a large figure began to show lightly through the smoke. Even as a long-leg and through the 50 meters of smoke that separated them, the man could tell that the creature lurking in the debris dwarfed him in size without contest. This, of course, also meant that the man in the suit was even further dwarfed, but regardless of the difference in their size, Marco shouted up at the creature regardless. With the words of the suited man, there was a brief pause, then, it moved.

A hand came flying through the smoke, slapping the ground near Marco and the creature that it belonged to lowered its head towards the man. This was the first time that Noctis would truly be able to see the form of the figure that had caused all of the destruction. Monsterous, without a hint of humanity in him, this creature seemed to listen to Marco for a moment with its head held low. The distance between the long-leg and them would make it impossible for Noctis to hear what was being said, but the relevance of it was unimportant compared to the giant's reaction.

As if they were done talking, the giant raised its head and disappeared back into the veil of smoke from whence it came. For a brief moment Marco stared up at it in silence before being obliterated by an impossibly large ax being swung out of the haze. The suited man was killed instantly and what remained of his corpse was thrown from the smoke just like those before him. Whether or not the giant was on Noctis' side or Los Diablos' was still a mystery, but as if the words of Marco had calmed the beast down, all destruction surrounding the giant ceased.

The giant showed through the haze, unmoving, as if waiting for a new direction.
