Everyone stared as Hiccup had just performed an attack that splitted the fin. The result of the impact caused water to rain down from the sky putting out the fires that Pearl created.

"He destroyed the fin!" a pirate cried.

Everyone just stared at Hiccup's unbelievable strength.

Krieg looks furious. "He's trying to sink my ship. You dare defy me!" He then immediately turn to Squall. "Squall, blow his head off right now!"

Squall, however, seemed reluctant to pull the trigger.

"What are you waiting for?" Krieg roared.

"But—he—" Squall looked down at Zeff. "He saved our lives when we were starving, he gave us food."

Krieg looked outraged. "Squall kill him!"

Hiccup sighed. "We'll you all calm down, I had no intention of sinking the ship."

"Then what was that attack all about!" Ragnar yelled.

"I said I had no intention of sinking the ship," Hiccup corrected. "However, plans change and I might be forced to sink it if need be."

Everyone just stared at him in horror.

Ragnar then marched up towards Hiccup looking furious. "After all we've been through, you decide to stab me in the back now! You can't sink this ship!"

"If we sink this ship there is no reason for them to attack us," Hiccup pointed out calmly.

"This ship saved my life, I owe everything to her!" Ragnar yelled. "I never would have imagined you could resort to something so destructive. I always had you pegged as a rational guy, who used reason over brute force. Guess I was wrong."

"And I never would have guessed you would risk your entire life on a restaurant," said Hiccup narrowing his eyes.

"What did you say?"

"If you keep this up you're going to get killed, is that how you want to repay your debt?" Hiccup questioned. "The old man did not save you so that you could kill yourself, he did it so that you could do something with your life."

"And so your big ideas to help them attack us," Ragnar glared.

Squall just remained utterly silent.

"Boys, there's no reason to fight," said Pearl calmly. "Especially when there's nothing that neither of you can do. Not while there is a big shotgun pressed against the old man's head, your problem began when you decided to come up against the Krieg Pirates, nothing can stop us."

Pearl larger then slammed his shields again which immediately caught fire. "Fire Pearls!" He then came charging towards the two of them. "Now you will burn!"

Then suddenly, to everyone's surprise, Squall dropped the shotgun and dashed towards Pearl. In each hand he was holding a pair of tonfa tipped with heavy iron balls which were the size of cannonballs. He then slammed into Pearl's armour shattering it knocking the wind out of him in the process.

Hiccup was completely stunned.

Ragnar just stared. "Squall."

Pearl fell to his knees and his eyes turn to Squall. "What did you do, Squall?"

"I'm sorry, Pearl, you're in my way," he said as Pearl fell to the floor.

Krieg was furious from what he had just witnessed. "Squall! You have betrayed your Captain and your ship!"

"I know, I'm sorry, Krieg," said Squall sincerely. "But he saved our lives, I can't kill him. Not like this, he deserves better, he deserves to face death standing up." He then turned to face Hiccup and Ragnar "But I promise you that he will still die by my hand."

Krieg rolled his eyes. "Oh, great. My Chief Commander has completely lost his marbles."

Gabriel and Zale swam to Zeff and began to tend to his wound.

"You just hang in there Zeff," said Gabriel gently.

"Are you all right, boss?" Zale asked.

Ragnar looked at Squall. "He's their Chief Commander?"

"I guess," said Gabriel a little stunned. "Did you see him crush that guy though?"

"One blow when his armour was in pieces," said Zale in disbelief. "Now that's power."

Hiccup looked at Ragnar. "Have to admit I didn't see this coming."

"I don't think anyone did," said Ragnar.

"Ragnar," said Squall. "Look I'm just following orders, I don't want to ruin the ship but I think it's too late for that."

"Maybe, but if you think you're going to get to this restaurant without killing me you've got another thing coming," Ragnar warned.

"Sounds fair and it will be an absolute pleasure to kill you, my good friend."

Ragnar then immediately drew his pistols. "That's certainly comforting."

"The same for you, Hiccup," said Squall looking at Hiccup.

Hiccup folded his arms. "I appreciate the honour, but I have no intention of dying to any Krieg Pirate today."

All the pirates immediately looked at him with murderous looks on their faces. They kept on going on how they were the rulers of the East Blue and how no other pirate crew could take them down.

Hiccup rolled his eyes. "You do realise that the East Blue is the weakest of all the four seas and the only reason you got to where you are today is because you outnumber the pirates here. I can assure you that the pirates on the Grand Line are 10 times tougher than any of you."

That only got the pirate even more enraged.

"You really riled them up," Ragnar noted.

Hiccup looked at him. "I was only speaking the truth. You saw how powerful Hawkeye was and he is only one of the big name from the Grand Line."

The pirates then immediately climbed onto the wreckage of the fin and drew their weapons.

"You're dead meat!"

"Let's get him!"

"Hold your place!" Krieg roared.

All the pirates immediately stopped what they were doing and looked at their captain.

"But Krieg, he can't say that."

"You only prove his point when you lose control and whine like little babies," Krieg growled. He then sat down on what remained of the mast. "Do you see me trembling with anger? Only the weak act on mere words, Krieg Pirates run from no man!"

"Yes, sir!" the pirates announced.

However that statement was an entirely true considering that they ran away from Hawkeye a few days ago.

Krieg looked at Squall. "Squall… it's your job to take care of that cook. I'll handle the runt, that brat is all mine."

Squall nodded. "I understand. Yes, Krieg."

Hiccup and Ragnar remain completely silent, clearly they had no intentions of running away either.

Krieg's eyes then turned on Hiccup. "Hey, boy." Hiccup then turned to face him. "You can try your Devil Fruit Magic against me, but I've seen it all before and have never been defeated by such trickery. When you experience the full force that conquered the entire East Blue, then there you'll understand the meaning of power, Chore Boy."

Hiccup looked at him unwavering. "You truly think that you're the best, the most powerful man in the world, don't you? However, I know that the most powerful man in the world is not you compare to him your nothing more than a pebble while he is a mountain. I'm going to take you down and show to you just how big the world really is."

Krieg narrowed his eyes.

"I'll be with you in just a second," Hiccup continued.

Krieg looked outraged. "The impudence."

Ragnar and Squall were now facing off in the two of them were waiting to see who would make the first move. The pirates smiled gleefully, truly believing that there Chief Commander would win this fight handsdown.

"That cook is done for now."

"Yeah, man, when Squall takes out his weapons he's there is no screwing around. Just look at him."

Squall then began to spin the tonfa in his right hand and it was spinning so fast that it was a blur.

"They call him the Coldhearted Demon."

"He's our coldhearted pirate Chief Commander Squall, it doesn't matter if you beg for mercy he will still laugh in your face while he kills you."

Squall looked at Ragnar regretfully. "I'm sorry Ragnar, but I can't be defeated."

"There's a first time for everything," said Ragnar confidently.

Squall then bended his knees, clearly he was about to make his move at the immediately dashed towards Ragnar. "Here I come!"

Ragnar then quickly countered his movement by performing a powerful axe kick. He positioned himself so away that he was avoiding the tonfa and was aiming directly on top of Squall's head. Squall, seeing this manoeuvre once before immediately jumped back and avoided the kick.

He then quickly slammed the tonfa towards Ragnar, but miraculously he was able to jump into the air avoiding it as it smashed through the floorboards. However, Ragnar wasn't quite safe yet, Squall lifted the tonfa out of the floorboards so suddenly that it sent the word flying towards him.

Ragnar then quickly performed a spinning roundhouse kick. "You son of a bitch!"

Squall quickly leaned backwards avoiding the kick completely, he then slammed his tonfa towards him. The metal handle court his neck and he soon pinned him to the floor, Squall merely sat cross-legged next to him holding his other tonfa in his hand.

"Ragnar!" Hiccup yelled.

"I warned you, but you just wouldn't listen would you?" said Squall as he began to spin the other tonfa in his hand. "And now… it's time for you to accept defeat."

The pirates began to cheer knowing that this was going to be the final blow in the cooks were immensely worried for Ragnar because there was no way he could escape from this next attack.

"Die!" Squall are swinging the tonfa down towards him.

Squall had positioned himself so that he was out of the reach of Ragnar's pistols, but Ragnar had another idea. He then quickly pointed one of the pistols straight up and pulled the trigger.

"Flash Shot!" he yelled.

Suddenly there was a blinding light that forced Squall to close his eyes and slacken his grip on the tonfa he was using to pin Ragnar down. Ragnar then immediately slipped through the metal handle and avoided the other tonfa just before it struck the floor boards.

Ragnar then immediately slammed his foot right on top of his head, but it hadn't been enough to take him out. Squall swung the tonfa and it struck Ragnar in the side of his chest. He was clear the two of them had taken each other down as they both landed on the ground.

The pirates were immediately stunned by this display.

"That cook, he kicked Squall in their head!"

"Yeah, I couldn't believe it. Do you think that he still alive?"

"What was that flash, did it come from his pistol?"

"Where in the world you get hardware like that?"

"Enough!" Krieg roared. "After all this time you should know are hell of a lot better than that you idiots. There's a reason why trust him above any of my other pirate crew. Squall is always a coolheaded and coldhearted demon and he never quits."

Krieg's words rang true as Squall rose to his feet, Ragnar on the other hand had taken a far worse blow. He was finding it hard to stand up let alone fight.

"I can't believe Ragnar is getting up," said Gabriel.

"He should lie down, after what he's been through his ribs must be completely smashed," said Zale.

Despite the injuries he was stained from Squall, Ragnar was soon back on his feet, though he was clutching his chest rather painfully.

"Well… that… wasn't too bad… Chief Commander," Ragnar winced. "Let me know when you're really ready to fight."

Squall merely smiled and soon everyone just stood there in silence waiting for someone to make the next move.

"Tell me what was that flash just then?" Squall asked curiously. "Those aren't normal pistols."

Ragnar smiled. "Honestly I don't know much about them, they were a gift from my father. How he found me I don't know, but on my 15th birthday they were just there. Even the old man doesn't know about the craftsmanship."

While this conversation was going on, Hiccup noted that Krieg had moved a single inch since he sat down. "He's just sitting there. Bad it's time for us to start our fight."

Hiccup then immediately transformed into his human dragon form and flew straight towards Kreig.

"Don't hurt yourself," Krieg smiled and flicked a single pellet into the sea.

Suddenly appearing right in front of hiccup was a huge explosion which created a wall of water. Thankfully, Hiccup was able to stop himself before he slammed right into it and Krieg opened the secret compartment on his shoulder pads and fired several bullets, but they merely bounced off Hiccup's scales and he immediately flew back to the wreckage of the fin.

Krieg laughed.

Hiccup narrowed his eyes. "I thought you wanted to fight me, why the hesitation now?"

"Fight you?" Krieg scoffed. "Do I really have to? If all I really want to do is kill you that's enough from me. I really don't have any patient for your stupid games, little fool."

Hiccup narrowed his eyes. "You know underestimating your foe is never a good idea."

Hiccup then immediately heard a massive thump behind him and Krieg chuckled slightly as the pirates cheered. He turned around and saw Squall standing over the blooding mess of Ragnar, who was clutching his waist badly.

"Ragnar!" Hiccup cried.

Ragnar was now coughing up blood and the iron balls on Squall's tonfa were covered in blood. It looked as if he had taken a beating as well, but he merely just spat out a bit of blood.

"Woo-hoo! Pulverised the rest of him!"

"Yeah, what he said!"

The cooks were looking a bit anxious, because it really did look as if Ragnar was going to lose.

"Crap, if only he hadn't fought that Pearl guy first."

"Yeah, I don't think he'll survive another hit from those balls."

Ragnar looked up at Squall. "Go ahead, you hit like a girl anyway."

Squall chuckled as he began to spin one of his tonfa and Ragnar could only just lay there in agony.

'He's too strong for me,' he said to himself.

"Now die!" said Squall as he spun the tonfa even faster. "Goodbye, Ragnar."

He then spun the tonfa towards him, but Ragnar acted quickly and immediately dodged by standing on his hands.

"What was that? Your pity?" Ragnar asked. Ragnar then slammed it down his leg on top of him knocking him flat to the ground. "I'm not dead yet!"

The pirates were completely stunned.

"Chief Commander!"

Then suddenly there was a massive crack and Ragnar cried out in pain, that attack had done massive damage to his ribs.

"Oh no," Hiccup panicked.

Ragnar then fell to the ground and there was no way he'll be able get backup to his feet this time.

"No," said Gabriel.

"He can't take it," said Zale. "He's going to kill himself just trying to fight."

To make matters worse Squall began getting back onto his feet and Ragnar turn to face him painfully. He could do nothing as Squall grabbed his throat and pinned him to the ground with one tonfa resting on his shoulder.

The pirates then began cheering again.

"Damn, bastard," Ragnar cursed.

Everyone just stood there waiting for Squall to deal the final blow, but something inside of him hesitated. Then to everyone's astonishment he began to cry and Squall found himself to finish Ragnar off.

"I can't," he said finally. He then looked up at Krieg. "I can't obey your order, this man saved my life. I can't Krieg! I won't do it!"

That really took everyone back, because moments ago he didn't hesitate to pummel Ragnar into the ground.

"I can't!" Squall cried. "I'm sorry, Captain."

Krieg, was understandably upset it wasn't the first time today that Squall had contradicted his orders. "What did you say?"

"I won't… do… what… you want!" he cried as he began to remember the kindness Ragnar had shown him. "He treated me with such respect and decency and kindness. That's why, I can't bring myself to kill him. I have always been loyal to you, up till now I've believed in what we've done. I respect you and appreciate all that you have given me, trusting me as your Chief Commander was the honour of my life. Until this moment I have obeyed every single order you have given me without ever questioning it. I can't live with myself if I kill this man and I cannot break my oath, please, I beg you, let me disobey just this one order. Please!"

Everyone was completely silent at this plea.

"Krieg, listen, can't we just leave?" he asked pleadingly. "They can keep the restaurant from themselves."

Krieg then yelled in frustration as he rose to his feet. "You little son of a bitch! You think that you can defy my orders and then tell me what to do?"

Squall remained quiet, clearly he had suspected this response which meant why he pleaded to his Captain all the more puzzling.

"It's pathetic," said Kreig looking at him in disgust. "Morality. Sympathy. Weaknesses that I never suspected to see from you." He then removed one of his shoulder guards and did something with it. "You are not my Chief Commander anymore!"

He then attached the shoulder pad to his arm and it looked as if he was holding some sort of Gatling gun.

"Pirates, step aside," he ordered as he aimed directly at the restaurant.

The centre of the placed shield guard then opened and Squall and the other pirates immediately panicked upon seen it.

"No! Not the gas!" Squall panicked.

"He's going to use the HM5!" a pirate cried.

"We're all going to die!"

"What?" Ragnar stared.

"Poison gas," Hiccup stared.

The pirates then immediately began frantically looking through their jacket pockets as if looking for something.

"Where is my mask?"

"Masks on!"

"Move it, move it!"

"He's using MH5!"

"Gas is a coward's weapon!"

"You bastard you'll kill us all!"

Krieg could have cared less what they thought. "The only thing that matters in a battle is who ends up winning. Even if more have got to die. Poison gas is just a means to an end, victory is all that decides what's right and what's wrong. If you are dead nobody is going to hear you complain anyway, when you don't hesitate to do unspeakable horrible things that is true power."

Hiccup's face darkened.

"He's insane," said Ragnar.

Squall then reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a mask of his own.

"Might as well for that gas mask away!" Krieg roared. "You're no longer worthy of being a Krieg Pirate! Die!"

Hiccup immediately took off and dashed towards Krieg. "I'm not going to let that happen!"

"You're wasting your time," said Krieg and aimed his Gatling gun at Hiccup.

Suddenly he began to fire sharp projectiles at Hiccup that looks sharp enough to puncture his scales. He quickly flew back to avoid the onslaught of projectiles and quickly landed back onto the fin.

"Damnit," Hiccup cursed.

Squall just stood there utterly quiet still holding the gas mask.

"Squall," said Hiccup. "You don't have to listen to him, because I'm going to take him down."

"No!" Squall yelled. "My captain cannot be defeated, Krieg is the strongest man alive and I respect this punishment."

Ragnar looked at him as if he was crazy. "Will you please snap out of it? He's going to kill you!"

"I deserve it, obey my emotions betrayed my captain. If I were in his position then I would have done the exact same thing and now death is the only honour I have left."

He then tossed the gas mask aside into the sea and it sank beneath the waves.

"Don't!" Hiccup cried.

"Why?" Ragnar winced.

Krieg smiled. "So you remembered your place, but it's much too late for that. Now you will both die together, it's the MH5 Poison Gas Bomb! Fire!"

Kreig then fired a cannon and a purple sphere fired out of the barrel. The cooks, who had no protection, immediately swam away or dived into the water to avoid the gas. Gabriel and Zale, grabbed Zeff's arms and immediately dashed into the restaurant.

"Get inside the restaurant!" Gabriel yelled.

Krieg smiled as he placed on a gas mask over his face, knowing that all his troublesome enemies are going to be taken out in one fail swoop. The pirates, now protected by their gas masks, merely watched feeling very certain that Hiccup and the others were going to die right there and then.

However, two unfortunate pirates were too close to the fin and before they could do anything, Hiccup grabbed their masks.

"I'll take those," he said. He then quickly tossed them towards Ragnar and Squall. "Ragnar! Squall! Catch!" He then turned around. "Now for me."

However, the rest of the pirates had retreated from the fin and it was even possible that they had dived down into the sea to prevent their masks from being stolen.

"Great, just perfect," Hiccup groaned.

Hiccup watched in horror as the bomb closed in upon the fin and seconds later there was a huge explosion followed by a massive cloud of poisonous gas.
