In the years to come, many residents of Brockton Bay would ask each other the questions, where were you when the explosions started? Were you one of the lucky ones? Did you lose any loved ones? How about friends? Were you one of the lucky ones that the heroes managed to free? If so, you were a lucky bastard. Despite dozens if not parahumans having lived in Brockton Bay, destruction on this sort of level was new for the residents of the Bay.

Smoker was already heading towards the nearest explosion on his Billower Bike. Who would be insane enough to cause this? Judging by the large block of ice that Smoker was heading towards, it was most likely the ABB since rumors had spread of Lung recruiting a bomb Tinker before his capture. Still, why would they decide to do such a thing-

Smoker narrowed his eyes and changed directions. Random bombs going off in the city could mean only one thing, the bombs not targeting ABB territory only made it seem more suspicious. Still, it would be safer to make sure.

Smoker immediately pulled out his phone and called Marine HQ.

"Captain Smoker sir." Shoko's voice responded. The Quartermaster was a good Marine. That's why Smoker placed him in command of Marine HQ if Tashigi or himself were indisposed.

"Pass me to Cipher." Smoker grunted, his two cigars never falling out of his mouth. He sped up at an intersection.

"Yes sir."

A few seconds later, a familiar voice came through.

"Hey Smokey." Cipher yawned. "Can you bring me some coffee on your way back?"

"No, I have a job for you."

"Yeah?"

"Find out if the ABB is behind this, and what's their goal." Smoker tightened his grip on the handles. For all they knew, the Empire could be framing the ABB, or Squealer created cars full of bombs.

"Hm, it's definitely the ABB-" Cipher paused in the middle of her sentence. All Smoker heard was the sound of frantic tapping.

"Well? Spit it out." Smoker ordered. He took a left at the next right as a firetruck raced past him with several PRT vans following. Random pedestrians were running around like frightened ants.

"This is all just a distraction…"

"The ABB plan on breaking out Lung."

Smoker's face turned dark. It seemed that Brockton Bay's dragon needed to be taught another lesson.

"Coordinate with Tashigi and the PRT." Smoker grunted as he raced past several buildings.

"I have a dragon to hunt."

Armsmaster was in his lab when the explosions started. He was working on one of his side projects with Dragon, who kept trying to convince him to go and take a nap. She kept failing of course. Colin had a lot of work ahead of him.

"Report." Armsmaster made his way towards the Rig's brig, halberd in hand. Several explosions had rocked the Rig, with PRT officers running in various directions. Some trying to put fires out, with others armed with containment foam ran towards the brig.

"Lee's here. He dropped an ice tinkertech bomb near our hangar, and several conventional bombs near Lung's cell." Triumph's voice said through Armsmaster's communicator. "Assault, Velocity and the Wards are in the city proper assisting where they can. The ABB have started harassing several police stations."

Damn, his motorcycle was in the hangar. It took him two weeks of nonstop work to get it running. Well, at least he got to build a new one now with upgrades.

"Meet me near Lung's cell. Contact Miss Militia and Dauntless as well. We need to make sure Oni Lee doesn't get another chance to-"

Another explosion shook the Rig, with a loud roar following soon after.

"...break out Lung…"

Smoker knew he was too late when he heard a loud roar coming from the Rig. Pausing near the water, Smoker's eyes widened slightly at the sight of the Rig. It seemed that a chunk of the Rig was covered in ice, with various holes with smoke coming out from them. Another explosion occurred, when Smoker caught sight of his target. Covered in scales and growing larger every second, Lung tore a hole through the Protectorates HQ. The sound of gunfire, most likely from Miss Militia filled the air.

What to do! Smoker eyed the water that laid in front of him. He should be fine as long as he didnt touch it. Revving up his Billower Bike, Smoker launched forward onto the water, his bike allowing to cross. Narrowing his eyes, he grabbed his spare jitte from his back.

A Marine never backed down from a fight. Lung grew even bigger as Smoker drew closer. Hopefully he could distract Lung long enough for the Protectorate to prepare a counterattack. It was time to see if Smoker's haki training paid off.

"LUNG!" Smoker shouted, his two cigars never falling from his mouth. The Dragon of Brockton Bay immediately turned his head towards Smoker.

"Youuuu…" Lung growled as nubs of metal and bone popped from his back, forming what seemed to be wings.

With that Smoker jumped from his bike, transforming his lower body into smoke and charged straight at Lung with his jitte ready to strike.

Smoker took a deep breath full of smoke and felt a grin form on his face.

Lung's fist met Smoker's own.

A/N

Well, this took a long time to come out. I'm sure that most of you know that a lot of stuff has happened since the last update. Most notably the release of, Do you fear Death?, Lore Khepri, Bangtan Taylor, and Chimera's rewrite, Chimaera, have been released in the four months since I last updated Smoker the White Hunter.

It felt weird writing in third person after getting used to first person.

I hope you all enjoyed this chapter?

Who is your favorite One Piece Admiral?

I have a Kizaru cosplay planned for next year. Still haven't decided if I'll wear it at a comic con or an anime con.
