Hey everyone, me again. Been a while since I last updated, but here's chapter 18 and the 4th part to this arc! Enjoy it!

"Hey, what's going on here?" Asked Ado. " Why are all these marines chasing us?!"

"Look, it's a long story, but in short the Captain of that ship, Galliano as after me. I thought it'd be a 1-on-1 thing but it looks like thanks to you he's got his whole command after me. So maybe you could help me out a bit here."

"But what would I get out of it?" Asked Ado, knowing the answer.

Irene cursed silently to herself. "Fine. You get the ship. On the conditions that one, you defeat these people, and two, I come with you on that ship."

"Huh? Come with us? Why is that?" Asked Vega.

"To make sure this idiot doesn't break it." Answered Irene, pointing her head towards Ado.

"...I see your point." Said Vega as they continued to run.

"But just so you know, we are pirates." Said Coco. "You'd be joining a pirate crew. You okay with that?"

"You're asking that to a person being chased by a shipload of marines." Said Irene. "I really don't give a shit."

"Hmm....okay!" Said Ado without even thinking about it. He then stopped running and turned to face the marines charging towards them. "Listen up, marine bastards! You're officially messing with me and my crew now!" He said, pulling out his Nodachi. "If you don't wanna get your asses kicked, I suggest you leave now!"

The marines suddenly stopped in their tracks as they saw that Ado had stopped in front of them. "Huh, what does this guy want with us?" Asked one of them. "He can't possibly be thinking off taking on all of us, can he?"

Ado heard him. "That's exactly what I'm thinking! So how about it?" You wanna be the first one to get your ass kicked?" He said, drawing his Nodachi.

The marines continued to look at him like he was crazy. "Whatever then, this will just make our mission quicker!" Said one. "Let's get him! He's just one guy, there's no way he can beat all of us!" With that, the marines, with their guns and swords, began to charge forward towards them.

"And that's where you're mistaken." Said Ado. "Sunpou Sunpou no BIG!" He grew to about 20 feet, his body length now being the width of the entire line of marines charging towards them.

"Huh?" Said Irene. "This guy ate a Devil Fruit too?"

"Oh yeah, I guess you never saw that." Said Vega. "Yeah, with his ability, he can change his size and anything he's holding's size at will, though it doesn't really augment his strength."

The sight of Ado growing in height had also made the marines stop in their tracks, as they seemed bewildered by the sight of his Devil Fruit.

"H-he grew in size!" Said one wide-eyed marine. "H-how did he do that?

"Could it be a Devil Fruit?" Said another. He then shook off the shock on his face. "Whatever, we were ordered to capture these guys, so what if he has a devil fruit, he's still vastly outnumbered! We must remain charing at him!" With that the marines again pursued their charge towards Ado.

"Suit yourselves." Said Ado. "NODACHI SLASH!" He swung his enlarged Nodachi at the first line of Marines, and even though it wasn't any more powerful the attack still did it's job, knocking them all away.

"H-he knocked them all away!" Exclaimed one marine in total shock. "Frontal attacks won't work! Fire your rifles at him instead!" Some of the marines carrying guns then held them up and fired at Ado.

"That won't work either!" Said Ado with a smirk. He then shrunk to an ant-size, causing all the bullets to miss their mark, however the bullets then headed towards Vega, Coco, and Irene, making them quickly dodge out of the way.

"Idiot, you almost got us killed!" Said Irene angrily at him.

"Damn it, why does he have to be so reckless like this..." Muttered Coco.

"You said it," Said Vega as he pulled out his two swords. "He isn't giving me any time to fight them!" With that, he rushed towards some of the marines, slashing them away with his swords. "NIBEKKOTORYU: TATSUMAKI!" He yelled, spreading the two swords out and knocking out all the marines surrounding him.

"Suppose it'd be a waste of time to just not do anything." Said Coco. She then delivered a set of fierce kicks to several marines. "RAPIDO CALCIO!"

"Dammit...these people are strong!" Remarked a marine. "Just focus on getting the prisoner! That's all our Captain wants!" On his word, the remaining marines all began charging towards Irene.

"You think it's going to be that easy?" Said Irene. "Essentialy, I've already beaten all of you."

Suddenly the group of marines found them selves unable to move. They looked down and saw that their legs had been binded together by pieces of strings.

"What's with this string?" Gasped one marine. "Just when did this get here?!"

"I put that string there the instant you had the idea to attack me." Said Irene putting her hands up to reveal the string that was unraveling. "Be sure not to make that mistake next time. STRING TRIP!" Irene jerked her hands backwards, causing the marines to trip forward and all fall on the ground hard, causing them to be knocked.

"Hmph, Is this all the marines are?" Asked Ado. "This is gonna be a cinch!" With that, he resumed his pounding of the marine forces.

Meanwhile, on the marine battleship, Galliano was sitting at his desk again, having put a Den Den Mushi on his desk, waiting for a response from the marine forces he had sent out.

"Dammit, what's taking them so long, I'm getting impatient..." He said to himself, fidgeting impatiently. "I just have to wait until they bring that girl back to me, and then I shall resolve everything..."

Just then, the Den Den Mushi on his desk started to ring. Galliano eagerly picked it up.

"Hello, what is the report?!" Asked Galliano quickly. "Did you get them?!"

"Th-those people with the prisoner aren't normal, sir!" Said the panicked voice on the other end. "One of them has a Devil Fruit, and the other two are ridicoulously strong as well! Even with our numbers, we're no match for...UGH!" The sound of him getting knocked out startled Galliano.

"Huh? Who's on the other end of this? Are you the Galliano guy?" Said Ado's voice from the other end.

"W-who is this?" Demanded Galliano angrily. "Impossible! How could a whole group of marines be defeated by just 4 people?" He was thinking to himself.

"This is Nakim D. Ado." Said Ado on the other end. "Look, I'm a pirate captain, and you're a marine captain. Plus, if I beat you, I get myself a ship. So after I finish beating up your cronies here I'm coming for you. Understand?" With that, the other end of the line went dead.

"Damn this!" Yelled Galliano. He then got up and left his office, to the outside of the ship. "Damn you, Hawley Irene, if only you were dead I wouldn't have to go to all this trouble! Well whatever. You should know more than anyone that no one can hide from me!" He thought, pulling out his rifle, and cocking the barrel.

"Well, that takes care of that." Said Ado, rubbing his hands together as all the marines. "Now then, just gotta defeat this Galliano guy and I get a new ship!"

"I gotta admit, you aren't that bad." Said Irene. "But it won't be that easy to get to Galliano. He ate a devil fruit too, you know."

"Oh, he did?" Asked Ado. "What does it do?"

Suddenly, they heard a rustling noise in one of the trees. Irene suddenly looked extremely concerned.

"Shit! He's activated it already!" Said Irene, panicked. "Everyone, you have to hide somewhere! Make sure you can't be seen from all sides of you!"

"Why?" Asked Ado. Suddenly, a bullet whizzed by him, grazing his right arm, causing some blood to spill out. "What the hell? Where did this bullet come from?!"

"The gun Galliano carries with him isn't a normal rifle." Said Irene. "The range on it is incredible. I bet the bullets could reach all the way to the other end of the island! Not to mention he's one of the deadest shots in East Blue"

"But even if it could, there's no way he could actually see all across the island." Said Vega. "How does he know where we are?"

"That's where his ability comes in!" Said Irene. "Look in the sky!" They all looked up to see a small, satellite-shaped object circling around in the sky. "That's his ability! He ate the Eisei Eisei no Mi, it creates that satellite and it monitors everything below it. And anything that satellite sees, Galliano can see! That's why we need to find a rock or building or something to hide in!"

Ado then suddenly had an idea. "Not necessary!" He said. He then grew to almost 100 feet tall, so big his head was right next to the devil-fruit created satellite. "Take this, you bastard!" He then swatted at the satellite, causing it to be knocked away.

"Damn it!" Yelled Galliano from the ship as he now had lost a visual of where they where located. "That bastard, that was pretty clever! But, no matter how hard you hit it, the satellite created by my Eisei Eisei no Mi cannot be destroyed. I just have to bring it back to your location!" With that, he made the satellite hover back over the area. "Now, where are you, you stubborn son of a bitch....huh?" To his shock, he saw that no one was there. "What's going on? There's no way he could've hidden anywhere, there's no large rocks or houses nearby the area! How did they escape?"

Meanwhile, as for Ado, he had Vega, Coco, and Irene wrapped around his arms, as they all were standing on the ground, no bigger than an ant.

"Pretty clever huh?" Said Ado. "When I use my ability, anything I'm touching while using it becomes small too. So I made you all small! Even with a satellite looking over us there's no way he can see us!"

"For once you actually thought about what to do..." Remarked Coco. "But it looks like it did save our asses."

"Now then, let's move on to more important things, like kicking Galliano's ass!" Said Ado, as they began to run towards his ship.

"Damn! Where did they go?!" Yelled Galliano as he was frantically scowering the island with his ability, but was unable to find them with no avail. "Looks like that marine wasn't lying, these guys aren't your average fighters." He then grinned. "But my plan still isn't ruined yet. I've waited for this day so long I made sure there would be no screw-ups. It's for moments like this I brought the 'Twin Lieutenants' with me! Zenya! Manda!" He called out. From another part of the deck emerged two male marines dressed in a lieutenant gear. Both looked exactly the same, they appeared to be about 28 and red hair. The only difference between the two was that while one's hairstyle seemed rather wild-looking and uncombed, while the other hairstyle was a buzz cut.

"You called, sir?" Asked the one with the buzz cut.

"Looks like I'll be needing your two's help after all." Said Galliano. "Find the prisoner along with the three people's she's with."

"It's about damn time!" Said the one with the wild hair. "Let's go, Zenya!"

"Whatever you say, Manda." Said the other.
