"These are alot of Fishman." Ruri stated as she and Avery stood back to back.

"I told you guys, the whole Island is filled with them." Avery replied as he sent another group of Fishmen flying into the air.

"I see some coming out of the ocean, I'll be right back." Riru stated as she ran over to the water and slashed then ran back.

"Lucky me that you're fast enough to run on water.." Avery commented as he punched another Fishman.

"Yeah, but how long do you think we can keep this up?" Riru asked.

"However long David needs to beat the Shark King.."

"Is he really that strong?" Riru asked as she slashed two Fishmen in half.

"Of course he's a Shichibukai."

"What about his First Mate?"

"Well just because he doesn't have Devil Fruit powers doesn't mean he isn't tough. If you fight him at first he'll hold back, but if you get a second chance to fight him he'll surprise you. That's how he beat me." Avery explained.

"He beat you?" Riru repated kind of shocked after cutting two more Fishmen.

"Yeah, so Chase better be careful."


Guah!" Chase cringed in pain after crashing into a tree.

"Haha, you done already?" Tora teased.

"Hmph, you thought." Chase stood back up and dusted himself off.

"Then keep it going!" Tora ran at Chase then jumped and began to spin in the air, once he got close he landed a kick on Chase. Chase bent over and held his stomach in pain.

"Ha!" Tora yelled as he grabbed Chase by his throat and let go, he quickly kneed Chase in the stomach. Chase fell to his knee's and was hit in the face by Tora's knee sending him rolling.

"Guah!"

"I thought you'd be tougher."

"Hmph, you certainly are stronger than you led me to believe in our first fight."

"That was the plan." Tora taunted as he cracked his knuckles and raised Chase in the air. Chase kneed Tor in the chin forcing him to let go. Chase then sweep kicked him causing Tora to fall on his back. Chase leaped into the air and cocked his fist back as he was about to smash Tora's face in.

"Nope!" Tora rolled out the way then kicked Chase in his ribs.

"Gah!" Chase hit another tree nad sturggled to stand.

"Here I come!" Tora yelled as he cocked his fist back making Chase think he was going to get punched, but got kicked in the stomach sending him through some trees.

"Guah..."

"Get up...the fun is just getting started."


"Ha!" Tiburon charged at David who jumped back dodging the large sword.

"Here I come!" David yelled as he jumped ovre Tiburon and shoved both his swords in Tiburon's back.

"Ha!" Tiburon kicked David sending him flying back and through his throne, "That all you got kid? You're supposed to be stopping me?"

"Yeah..." David stood and rushed at Tiburon.

"Bring it! Hammer Blade!" Tiburon yelled as he used both of his hands to swing down at David.

"Shotgun Palm!" David yelled as he curled his fingers and cocked his hand back, at the last second he opened his fingers causing Tiburon to slid back a few inches. David still got cut.

"Ha!" Tiburon lunged his blade forward, and David jumped ontop of the sword. David kicked Tiburon across the face then cocked his fist back.

"Pistol Punch!" David yelled as he punched Tiburon right in the nose.

"Ow!" Tiburon yelled as he covered up his nose, "You stupid rookie!" Tiburon yelled as he went to punch David. David jumped on Tiburon's shouldes and pulled his swords out.

"Shark Slice!" Tiburon yelled as he went to slash David.

"Cross Defense!" David yeleld putting his swords up in the form of an X and intercepted Tiburon's blade.

"Hahaha!" Tiburon laughed as he saw David struggle to hold him off, "Great White Fist!" Tiburon used his free hand to punch David in the gut causing him to slid back and and the verge of the stairs.

"Great..." David sighed as he looked around for Tiburon.

"Shark Driver!" Tiburon called as he began to spin in the air with his sword pointed downwards at David's head.

"Cross Defense!" David called making an X and holding it up against Tiburon's attack. It wasn't enough, David lunged forward doding the damage that he would've taken. Tiburon stood in the small crater where David should've been and looked at him with his yellow eyes.

"You're kind of fast."

"You're strong." David snickered.

"Hmph, and you're weak!" Tiburon vanished and from behind David was slashed by Tiburon's blade causing him to fall face first into the ground.

"Hahaha! That was too easy!"

"That hurt..." David struggled to stand, "I liked this jacket too." David pushed himself up with his swords then walked towards the stairs and took off his jacket and placed it on the ground with his sheaths.

"You still wanna fight?"

"Of course, you're just a stepping stone that I need to pass for me to reach my dream."

"Let's see about that! You won't ever leave this island! I'll even bury your body here! You'll never see the Grand Line!"

"Hmph, we'll see." David snickered.

"Here we go!" Tiburon vanished and David was kicked down the stairs that he had recently climbed.

"Guah!" David hit the ground hard and had trouble moving.

"Hahaha!" Tiburon cackled with laughter as he prepared to kill David, "Shark Rush!"

"Three Step Attack!" David yelled as he jumped up and slashed at Tiburon's sword smacking it out of the way, he then swung low while he spun swining at Tiburon's legs. Tiburon jumped up, and once David looked at him he kicked him in the chest sending him back up the stairs.

"Ah!"

"Wind Death!" David yelled as he jumped at Tiburon as high as he could. He dove down at Tiburon, and as Tiburon was about to counter David was gone and Tiburon had two swords in his stomach.

"Guah! Ocean Wrangler!" Tiburon yelled, he grabbed David by the neck and began to swing him around in the air and threw him back up on the white bridge like platform.

"Guah!" David coughed, not expecting to then be kicked in the stomach by Tiburon.

"I'll show you who's king!"


"Guah!" Tora was sent threw a few tree's as Chase struggled to stand, "Hahaha, you're fighting back now."

"Yeah, sorry that it took me a while."

"It's fine, I just can't wait to kill you." Tora stated as he stood.

"First...I'm going to break your arm. Understand?"

"We'll see!" Tora jumped in the air and ready to land down on Chase.

"I warned you..." Chase sighed, "Smash Kick!" Chase jumped in the air and he lifted one leg and axe kicked Tora's elbow then with the other leg he kicked his forearm.

"Aaaaahhhh!" Tora yelled as he crashed into a tree shoulder first as he held his broken right arm.

"Gotcha..." Chas said as he landed on the ground tired.

"I'm not dead yet!" Tora demande as he ran up and punched Chase in his spine.

"Ahh!" Chase was sent flying into a tree and fell onto the ground.

"Hmph, you thought I was going to let you get away with that? Then you're wrong!" Tora walked over to the injure Chase and stomped on his elbow.

"Aaahhh!"

"How you like that? I'm going to kill you understand!" Tora yelled as he raised his foot above Chase's head, "Say good bye! This is all because you don't wanna fight using Devil Fruit! Oh well! Later.."


"They keep coming Avery!" Riru yelled as she continued to slash the Fishmen.

"I know. I knew there was alot, but this is ridiculous!"

"Do you have any ideas?"

"I got one..." Avery sighed.

"Do it then?" Riru commented.

"Jump in the boat!" Avery ordered.

"Huh?"

"Just do it!"

"Right!" Riru then ran over and jumped inside the rowboat.

"Here we go!" Avery made two tornado's with his fist then slammed them together, "Wind Catastrophe!" That move pushed back all of the Fishmen and they all layed out unconcious.

"You did it!" Riru hugged Avery.

"Yeah.." Avery fell to a knee, "Let's just hope Chase and David are okay."
