"WATCH OUT!" A single crewmember ran into the battle as the giant paw approached his captain. The rest of the crew was lying on the ground with various forms of damage.
"CAPTAIN!" The loud cry echoed around the battlefield accompanied by a shot from a pistol. The dust began to settle and the crew held there breathes preparing to mourn their captain. Instead what they found made their eyes widen and jaws drop. One of their own that wore a hat with penguin boldly labeled on it and a happy attitude, now stood protectively in front of their also hurt captain facing of against one of the feared Shichibukai, Bartholomew Kuma, with nothing more than a pistol.
"Penguin..?" Sachi asked apprehensively from his spot on the ground. Never had he known that his friend had enough power to stop a Shichibukai mid attack.
"This might not be a good idea." Law said from his spot behind Penguin.
Penguin simply ignored his captain and continued facing Kuma. The Cyborg shot laser beams from his eyes aimed directly at Penguin. Penguin quickly deflected the beam and it only grazed the side of his hat, but the damage was done. Kuma began evaluating what he just saw of penguins face. There was silence for a moment before Kuma's face twitched slightly in recognition. The cyborg took a breath before he spoke in his eerily calm voice, "Inoue Takeshi also known as Last Bullet, bounty 300,000,000 beli, status deceased."
"W-what 300,000,000?" Sachi said incredulously.
Penguin didn't move an inch throughout this statement. Neither denying nor confirming this new piece of information about him
"No way...your the Last Bullet." Jean Bart said astonished.
"Last Bullet...?" Bepo asked clearly confused
"Last Bullet was a notorious pirate four years ago. Everyone said he was dead." Jean Bart responded still in a state of shock.
"Bartholomew Kuma, take me in Law's place." All attention was brought back to penguin. The Cyborg's facial expression didn't change in the slightest. "If you spare my captain I'll let you kill me without a fight."
"What are you talking about Penguin!?" Shachi yelled.
"You will die in his place?" Kuma asked.
"Yes."
"Penguin don't be an idiot, as your captain I-." Law started to say before he was cut off.
"There's no way this crew can survive without you law, so lets just say I'm taking one for the team." Law opened his mouth as if he was about to protest, but he quickly closed it before he hobbled back towards his crew.
"What do you say Bartholomew Kuma?" Penguin asked looking up to face the cyborg. "It would be quiet embarrassing for the marines if the public found out I was still alive."
"If you wish." The cyborg said and without any warning he brought his giant paw up and swung it down leaving nothing where Penguin had once stood. All Law and his crew could do was stare at the spot their friend had stood seconds before and the retreating back of Bartholomew Kuma.
