Koala planted her foot hard, driving it into the ground, and threw her punch just like Hack taught her. The punch originated from her hips as she turned them, grew stronger as she twisted her body, and rocketed towards her opponent in her fist. She hit the goon dead center of his chest. She saw the expression of pure pain on his face moments before he collapsed to the ground. These goons were tough, but she could not lose to them. She had been hit hard several times and would be in extreme pain when the adrenaline stopped. There were six unconscious men around her. Two burly men and a lady that wore a full length feather coat and mask remained. She had to defeat them or the Revolutionary Army would be finished.
The three people tried to surround her. Koala advanced towards the largest man and began to throw a punch. He stood firm and raised his hands to defend himself, but the punch was a feint. She quickly kicked the inside joint of his knee. He buckled under his own weight. She followed through on her kick stomping on that knee hard. He would not walk normally for months. Koala did not have time for the knockout hit. The other man grabbed her. Koala gouged his eyes. Everyone in the army was fighting for their lives, but if she failed here everyone else's fight would be irrelevant. Everything depended on her success. The army would have to disband and they would all have to flee if she failed.
The woman advanced. She was obviously not a strong fighter. Koala was off balanced but threw and awkward chop right onto her neck. It was enough to make her reel in pain. Koala grabbed a bat dropped from an earlier goon and hit the two men on their heads knocking them unconscious. The women was in the corner. She tried to run, but Koala was much faster. She tripped the lady. She grabbed the mask off her face and saw how terrified the lady was. Koala realized that she must seem like a monster to her right now. The lady stammered "Please, please, please. Me and my partner have nothing to do with whatever this is, we are just entertainers." There was a man who also wore a mask, Koala surmised he was her partner. Koala asked "What are your names?". "We go by Destiny and Raoul." the lady replied. Koala looked at her serious and said "Strip naked and run. Run far away like your life depended on it and pray you never see me again." Destiny hesitated. Koala hit the floor with the bat. Destiny quickly said yes, took off her clothes, ran to the window, opened it and jumped out. Koala looked down at the costume she was wearing under the coat and thought 'what is that?'
Sabo whipped the blood off his lip. Jesus Burgess had just clotheslined him hard. Sabo wished he could go all out with his Mera Mera no mi powers but he had to keep a low profile. There was too many palace guards nearby that would attack him if they find him. Sabo darted towards Burgess, his Dragon Claws were about an inch from his face when he had to turn into flames to allow a bullet to pass through him. Laffitte was in the shadows and every time Sabo was close to hitting Burgess he shot at him. With it being night time and Laffitte's stealth abilities, Sabo could not track where he was. Fighting both of them was near impossible. The only miracle was none of the other blackbeard pirates had come to join the fight.
Sabo had to remember his primary task was to stop them from interfering with Koala. Her success was much more important than Sabo defeating them. Once he received the signal he could blast both of them with his devil fruit power without regard of attracting more attention. Burgess swung at him, Sabo ducked the attack, which then hit a tree and knocked it over. Sabo quickly went behind Burgess and attacked, another bullet was fired. How was Laffitte always on the right side of Burgess? Burgess grabbed the tree and swung it at Sabo. Sabo dodged. Sabo was surprised no Marines were here. Similar to Sabo, Ivancov's task was to keep the Marines busy. He must be more than they could handle. Sabo could not believe the Marines were willing to buy their box from Blackbeard. It proved they hated the Revolutionary Army more than any Pirates. Sabo heard a cry of a bird in the distance. He smiled. Burgess swung at him. Once again Sabo dodged and attacked. A bullet flew at him. He turned to flames but this time threw a ball of fire at the direction of its origin. That was the signal he was waiting for. He heard Laffitte scream in agony. Burgess swung at him again. Sabo made a sudden flash of fire in front of Burgess's face blinding him, leaped towards it and grabbed it with a Dragon claw. Burgess screamed in agony, threw Sabo off and ran with Laffitte. Sabo couldn't chase them. Ivancov would flee from the Marines to head back to their boat. Sabo had to meet up with Koala at the designated place in the palace, escape it with her and get to the boat. Marines would start flooding the place soon. It would not be that easy. Sabo wondered if Dragon would make it back? He was at Blackbeard's boat stopping him from interfering.
