Later that night. Everyone was in the dining room on a big table that easily twenty people could sit, waiting for Gina and Mr. Gloin to bring the dinner.
- I´m starving - said Galeon.
- Me too - said Slamu at Galeon's left.
- Shut up you both, you are making me hungry - said Fishor at Slamu's left.
- YOU THREE SHUT UP! Or talk about something that isn´t related to food - yelled Sharken who was at Fishor's left and at Magnathas's right. Magnathas was on the head of the table.
- Ok, that isn´t a bad idea. Hey, Troy - said Dante and Troy, who was at Magnathas left and at Dante's right, looked at him. - You are an agent of the Government. What can you tell us about the Marine military force?
-...Well. They rule all the first part of the Grand Line. The very few pirates that are there lie low or are really strong to fight the Marine in their territory. Very few islands are out of their grip - answered Troy.
- What about the Admirals? - asked Galeon
- The most powerful members of the Marine - said Sharken with some nostalgic air.
- They will be the biggest obstacle in our way - said Fishor.
- Just one Admiral is enough to end a pirate crew's life and dreams - said Slamu.
- In deep, they are. In later times there were always only three Admirals. But currently there are six. - said Troy
- And all of them have Logia Devil Fruits powers - said Magnathas all of the sudden - Let's leave the Admirals for later. We will not come across to them too soon.
- True. The Vice Admirals are the ones we should be worry of - said Sharken quickly.
- Yes. They will try to catch you, that is for sure - said Troy.
- What about their strength? - asked Galeon
- You can be sure that they are masters of Rokushiki and other martial arts. Some have Devil Fruits power. And one of them is known for having fought with Roronoa Zoro and survived - said Troy.
Everyone smiled at that comment.
- Certainly, that Alfathas Wyrn is one of the few people I wouldn't like to have as an enemy - said Slamu
- We may not have to as long as Magnathas is with us, right? - said Dante looking at Magnathas
- Not sure. He is really committed with his role as a Vice Admiral - said Magnathas - He will probably kick our asses but let us live.
- How many Vice Admirals are there? - asked Dante.
- There were thirty, but after Enel came to the New World from the sky and became a Yonkou five years ago, now there are twenty - said Troy
- The Yonkou. What about them? - said Dante.
- Well. They are four and are the strongest pirates after the Pirate King - said Troy.
- But only one is a former Yonkou from the first Age of Pirates - said Fishor.
- Red Haired Shanks - said Slamu.
- He is the oldest Yonkou and the Pirate King strongest supporter - said Sharken.
- The other Yonkou that supports the Pirate King is the Pirate Empress Boa Hancock - said Troy - She was a Shichibukai from the first Age of Pirates.
- Even though she is kind of old she is still hot for a human - said Slamu.
- And you said that the other Yonkou is Enel - said Galeon
- Yes, and he is probably the most dangerous of all - said Troy - He thinks that he is God and that he should rule the world, and he has the power to do it
- How is that? - asked Galeon and Dante.
- He ate the Rumble-Rumble Fruit one of the Devils Fruits that is said to be invincible. With the power of attack with and become Lightning there are really few that can fight him and live to tell the story - said Sharken.
- Wow. That sounds creepy - said Galeon.
- What about the last Yonkou? - asked Dante.
Troy took a deep breath before answering and his usually expressionless face change into one with a big smile.
- The last Yonkou,...is Rob Lucci, a master of Rokushiki and many other martial arts and he ate the Leopard Devil Fruit - said Troy with pride and happiness in his voice.
- Why are you so happy all the sudden? - asked Slamu.
- Because he was my master - said Troy.
- What? - asked Slamu, Dante, Fishor and Galeon.
- You were trained by a Yonkou ? - asked Dante
- How is that? - said Galeon.
- Care to explain? - said Slamu
- Well he did not actually trained me, but he inspired me to train to my maximum capacity - said Troy - When I was twelve and already training to work for the CP3 he showed up at the training camp and beat the crap out of every single person who was fool enough to fight him. Seeing him doing that was just awesome. When I was sixteen I met him again, I was on a mission with some other CP3 agents, it was our graduation mission. We had to capture or kill some pirates in the Grand Line, but when we found them they were all killed by Rob Lucci. As he was a wanted man my friends tried to capture him but he defeated them easily, then I challenged him in a one on one fight, of course he beat me but some way I impressed him and he said that if I wanted a rematch I should go to the New World and become stronger.
- Wow that's a hell of a story - said Gina and everyone looked at her, she was carrying two jugs of orange juice, and she put them on the table and sit on the other head of the table in front of Magnathas.
- Hey Gina, where is the food? I'm starving - said Galeon
- In coming boy - said mister Gloin who was bringing a big pot of soup.
- Soup? - asked Galeon, Slamu and Fishor.
- It's Gina's Meat Soup - said mister Gloin - Now pass me your plates I'll fill them
Everyone did that and mister Gloin sit at Gina's right and at Dante's left. Everyone ate silently and when they were done with it they thanked Gina for the food, before she and mister Gloin when back to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
- Ok guys - said Magnathas - Slamu how is our course?
- It's fine and straight. The wind is in our favor and the sea if peaceful, just secure the steering wheel and we will be fine - answered him.
- Good. Now who would like to do the night watch? As our ship is too big I would like that two of us do it, one in the front of the ship and the other on the back - said Magnathas.
- As I slept the whole day I will be at the back - said Sharken.
- I will be at the front, but I'll sleep the whole day tomorrow - said Dante.
- Works for me. So is settle, everyone have a good night, tomorrow we may get some fun - said Magnathas and everyone got out of the dining room to their bedrooms and Dante and Sharken to their posts.
XXXXXXXXXX
In the morning everyone got up early to have a hot breakfast. After that Dante when straight to his bedroom and locked himself in there, Sharken did the same but he warned everyone to not bothering him with nothing. Galeon was with Slamu who was making sure that they didn't go off course. Fishor was checking every single part of the ship. Magnathas was practicing some swords movements on the deck while Troy was looking.
- Wow, Magnathas your are really good with those swords - said Gina who was coming to the deck with some glasses of lemonade and Mr. Gloin at her side.
- Well people don't call me "Sword Saint" for nothing, jajaja - said Magnathas.
- Gloin told me you could used your swords techniques even without swords, just with your hands - said Gina - Oh, would you like some lemonade? It's hot today and I thought you would, you too Toy.
- Thank you Gina. Yes I'll have some lemonade - said Magnathas taking a glass.
- I would drink that fast if I were you - said Troy who was looking at the sea.
- Why? - said Magnathas while starting to drink.
- Because there is a Marine ship at the South coming this way - answered Troy and he smiled when Magnathas choked with the lemonade.
- PPuuuufff...AAAhhhh...WHAT DID YOU SAY? - yelled Magnathas
- That there is a Marine ship at the South coming this way. And very quickly I should add - said Troy without a care in the world.
- YES. Our first battle at the sea and our first ship - said Magnathas, then he took a deep breath - EVERYONE GET ON THE DECK NOW - he yelled.
Galeon, Slamu and Fishor came right away.
- What is it? - asked Galeon
- There is a Marine ship at the South coming this way, very quickly and will be at shooting distance soon I should add - said Troy without a care in the world, again.
- You know I'm starting to hate that tone of voice you are using - said Magnathas glaring at Troy.
- Troy is right, it will be a shooting distance soon - said Mr. Gloin - Shall I go and prepare the cannons?
- That won't be necessary - said Dante who looked terrible and was carrying a rifle which has a telescopic sight and it is completely golden. - I can shoot them from here - he said while getting near the border of the deck.
- Just give me the order, captain, and I will kill as much Marines as I can from here - Dante said while aiming to the Marine ship.
- What? That's crazy, that rifle cannot hit a target at such a long distance, only a cannon can! - said Mr. Gloin.
- Mr. Gloin - said Magnathas - You are about to see why Dante is the sniper of the Blue Skull Pirates - he smile - Do it, Dante, shoot to kill!
- All right - said Dante and started to shot at the Marine ship and even from that distant they could see some Marine falling to the floor dead.
- What the hell? - said Mr. Gloin
- WOW. How he did that? - asked Gina.
- Thanks to my Devil Fruit. The Matter Matter Fruit: Creation - said Dante - With it I can create from my imagination anything I want as long as I have some knowledge about what I want to create - explain Dante.
- Unbelievable! That's just too good to be true - said Mr. Gloin - There must be something wrong with that Devil Fruit
- Well yeah. I had to study a lot to be able to use my powers correctly. All kind of weapons, their parts, what they are made of and even the periodic table of the elements - said Dante - But anyway I have job to do so the explanations are over.
Dante aimed to the Marine ship and started to shot again. After ten shots he had to stop to reload. He just makes the bullets appear in his hand
- They are shooting back! - yelled Slamu
Two cannon balls were coming to them.
- They're mine - said Magnathas. He unsheathed two of his swords - Come on Mangetsu and Suigetsu - He has Mangetsu in his right hand and Suigetsu in his left, then lifted his arms above his head - DOUBLE FALLING DRAGON
Magnathas made a down going movement and sent two crescents wave of compressed air that cut the cannon balls and made them explode.
- Wow, that was sooo cool - said Gina
- This is going to take forever if we keep fighting like this - said Dante who was shooting again - I suggest a more direct approach.
- Fishor and I can swim to there and sink that ship easily - said Slamu.
- That's sound like a good idea - said Galeon - but you will have all the fun!
- I have a better idea - said Magnathas - Slamu throw me to their ship
- WHAT? - yelled everyone.
- Like you heard - said Magnathas - I'm the captain and I'm going to sink that ship by myself.
- Jajaja - laughed Slamu - OK, captain, just don't cry if I have to go a rescue you.
Slamu grabbed Magnathas by his waist and throw him with effortlessly to the Marine ship.
- Hmm...I think that I used to much strength - said Slamu
Magnathas crashed into the deck of the Marine ship and went through the floor under the deck.
- Damn you Slamu - said Magnathas getting up and still holding Mangetsu and Suigetsu - I'll remind him to not do that again with that much strength.
- FREZZE - yelled ten Marine soldiers while pointing their guns to Magnathas.
- Oh, please. I don't have time for this. I have to sink your ship - said Magnathas - TWELVE WINGS OF THE EXPLODING DRAGON
Twelve swift compressed air explosions hit and sent the Marine soldiers flying at any direction.
- That's more like it - said Magnathas and jumped on the deck from the whole he made. He was quickly surrounded by at least fifty Marine soldiers.
- Damn - said Magnathas
- You God damn pirate prepare to die - yelled a Marine before him and other ten, with their swords ready, dash forward to Magnathas who prepare himself.
- TEN DRAGONS SHOT - yelled Magnathas and moved his swords forward at such a high speed and sent ten compressed air bullets that hit his opponent but the one who yelled. The two clash their swords.
- RISING DRAGON - with Suigetsu, Magnathas made an up going cut across the chest of the attacker and left him out of combat. More Marines were coming to attack him.
- Better end this quickly - said Magnathas - TWELVE WINGS OF THE EXPLODING DRAGON.
All the Marines that tried to attack him were sent flying by the explosion of air, some fall on their friends, others fall on the sea.
- ENOUGH - yelled someone. A tall man with muscular build, black hair and eyes, wearing a Marine captain uniform came forward right in front of Magnathas.
- You - he pointed to Magnathas - I know who you are. You are that bounty hunter "Sword Saint" Magnathas Minethil. Why are you attacking my ship? Are you with that pirate ship over there?
- I am the captain of that pirate ship over there - said Magnathas - And I am going to sink your ship.
- Why such a good bounty hunter would become a pirate? - asked the Marine captain.
- That's my own business, but I can tell you that I don't have much love for the World Government - said Magnathas.
- Then I, Captain Salom shall end your life here and now - said Captain Salom while unsheathing his own sword with his right hand.
- Let's see about that - said Magnathas while preparing himself.
The two glared at each other before Salom attacked trying to use his sword to cut Magnathas in two but he blocked it with Mangetsu and...
- RISING DRAGON - Magnathas attacked with Suigetsu but Salom avoided the attack by moving aside.
- That attack won´t work with me. Come on I know you can do better! - said Salom.
- You want it, you have it - answered Magnathas - DOUBLE FALLING DRAGON
Salom dodge the attack by jumping to the right but the attack hit a wall of the ship and made two cuts in it.
- Now you take this - say Salom - JUSTICE CUT
Salom made a horizontal move with his sword and sent a massive crescent wave to Magnathas.
- DRAGON X - Magnathgas counter attacked by crossing his arms to unleashing a massive X wave that collided with Salom´s attack, crush it and continue its way towards Salom, who again dodge the attack by jumping way above Magnathas. The X wave destroyed part of the ship.
- JUSTICE CUT - Salom tried again.
- Idiot - said Magnathas and easily dodge the attack which hit the deck of the ship hard.
- What are we doing? Let´s help the captain - said one Marine.
- Yeah, shoot him down - said another and eight men shot at Magnathas who blocked and their bullets with his swords.
- Don´t mess with me while I am having a duel - said Magnathas - DOUBLE DRAGON EXPLOSION
The two crescent waves hit the Marines hard and sent them flying to the sea.
- What kind of attack is that? - Asked Salom - It didn´t cut them, it hit them and sent them flying.
- Yes, it did. It´s a crescent wave of compressed air that hits the enemy hard and because of the hit the air explodes and if the enemy if not strong enough it goes flying through the air - explained Magnathas.
- Interesting - said Salom - Why don´t you try it with me and see if I go flying through the air?
Salom tried to attack Magnathas but he dodged him by jumping really high.
- Sorry, Captain Salom - said Magnathas - It´s been fun but it has to end - He crossed his arms, close his eyes to focus his Haki and – SUPREME DRAGON X
The ship got cut by the X crescent wave from top to bottom. While the ship was falling apart and Salom and the other Marines were trying to remind out of the water and help the injured, Magnathas sheathed his swords, landed on a big piece of the ship and jumped with all his strength to his ship, though he only made it to half the way. Soon his crew picked him up.
- That was awesome - said Gina.
- Not bad, lad, not bad - said Mr. Gloin.
- Couldn´t you leave something for us? - said Slamu.
- The next ship is ours - said Fishor.
- Hell yeah! - said Galeon.
- Take it easy. Would you? - Said Magnathas - There are still nine ships to go.
- Yes, and Fishor and I are going to sink the next one - said Slamu.
- Whatever. I´m going to change my clothes - said Magnathas - Hey, where is Troy? And Dante
- Troy said that he will be at the gym if someone need him and Dante went back to sleeping - said Galeon - They left after you destroyed the ship.
- Well let them be - said Magnathas and went off to his bedroom.
Later at lunch hour, all but Troy who already ate and was on the deck watching for other Marine ship, and Dante who was still sleeping, were sit and eating a great barbecue the was made for celebrating their first victory, there was also wine on the table.
- You missed all the show - said Magnathas to Sharken, who was drinking a bottle of wine all by himself.
- Bah, you sank a ship, big deal - said Shaken - I did that many times and you don´t see me yelling it to everybody.
- Hey, Sharken the next ship is ours - said Slamu - Fishor´s and mine. You can come too if you want.
- Well that´s does sounds good - said Sharken - it´s been a while since I kicked some Marines asses.
- Then you have your opportunity right now - said Troy entering at the dining room - There is a Marine ship coming this way - said Troy without a care in the world.
- Dude do you know what excitement is? You should try to use it - said Magnathas.
- MARINE SHIP. IT´S OURS - yelled Slamu and Fishor shocking everyone. They got up, grabbed Sharken and ran off to the deck.
- How many bottles of wine did those two drink? - asked Magnathas.
- Ten each - answered Galeon.
- Ok. New rule, those two don´t get more than four bottles of any alcoholic drink from now on - said Magnathas and all nodded at that.
- Emm...Aren´t you going to see how they sink the ship? - asked Troy.
- Oh, right, let´s go everyone - said Magnathas and all of them ran to the deck.
When they arrive at the deck of the ship they saw Fishor and Slamu struggling with Sharken.
- Release me you idiots - said Sharken - Otherwise I will make you suffer.
As a response they grabbed him by his arms and throw him at the Marine ship. Both soon followed him by jumping into the sea and swimming at the Marine ship
- Now he will know how it feels - said Magnathas smiling.
Sharken crashed to one of the masts and destroyed it.
- DAMN YOU TWO I SWEAR I WILL MAY YOU PAY FOR THIS - yelled Sharken in anger. And he was quickly surrounded by Marines.
- Freeze or we... -
- THOUNSAND BRICK FIST - the Marine could not finish what he was saying because Sharken killed him with that one punch and sent him flying to the horizon.
- Ah, that made me feel better - he said.
- SHOOT HIM - say one Marine and many of them did as he said.
- SHARK SKIN - said Sharken as all the bullets came at him from all angles and hit him, but all the bullets were rejected all fell on the floor. All the Marines looked at him in shock.
- What the hell was that? - said one.
- That's impossible - said another.
- He is a monster - said a third.
- Well I think you can call him that - said Slamu as he came on the deck from the water.
- Yes - said Fishor coming right after Slamu - After all he is Sharken "The Monster".
- SHARKEN "THE MONSTER"? - Yelled all the Marines - HE HAS A 150,000,000 BELLIES BOUNTY
- Yes, that's right - said Sharken - And I will sink your ship, but first - Sharken looked at Fishor and Slamu - THOUSAND BRICK FIST - and sent them back to the water.
- THAT'S FOR THROWING ME LIKE THAT ASSHOLES - yelled at them.
Suddenly Sharken heard someone clapping.
- That was very impressive but you just send away your backup - said the Captain of the ship - I am Steven Janz the captain of this ship and the one who will put an end to your life.
Steven is tall with long blonde hair tie in a pony tail long enough to reach his knees, his eyes are electric blue and he has muscular build. He is wearing the typical captain uniform with coat and everything and a Marine cap on his head.
- Steven Janz? I've heard about you - said Sharken - Didn't you capture the "Metal Claw Pirates" in the West Blue like three months ago?
- Yes, I did. But they weren't a real challenge - said Steven - Only the captain, John "Metal Claw", and the first mate, Jay T, were worthy of a fight with their 40,000,000 bellies bounty each. I hope that you can with me a real fight, but first... - Steven looked at his men - I need to take care of something.
Steven takes a deep breath before talking - Everyone listen up. He and I are going to fight and I don't want any of you trying to be a hero or anything. So some of you go to the communication room and call to the base on Theramore Island and tell them what's happening here and ask them to send a ship to pick us, because as you heard he is planning to sink the ship and he probably will, while someone takes care of that the rest go to the boats and leave, but not too far because if I don't died I will need your assistance after the fight - Stevens looks at his men one again - Those are your order NOW GET THEM DONE.
At once all the Marines on the deck got moving, some to the communication room and the others to the boat to leave.
- Well, this is nice - said Sharken - without those weaklings around a guess you will fight with all you got. That's good because I am looking for a challenge too - he finished with crackling his knuckles.
- Then what are we waiting for? - said Steven.
They glared at each other and...
- THOUSAND BRICK FIST -
- SHIGAN -
Both opponents stopped each other's attack. Sharken is holding Steven's arm, Steven's finger is an inch of Sharken hearth. Steven is holding Sharken's arm, Sharken's fist is an inch of Steven's nose.
- Well, well, well. It's been a long time since someone's stopped me this way - said Sharken.
- And usually my SHIGAN is too fast for my enemies to dodge it or stop it - said Steven.
They released each other and back away.
- I have to warn you - started Sharken - I had fought and killed Rokushiki users in the past.
- Well even though I haven't fought a fishman before I am aware of your capacities - Steven answered back - And that technique you used a moment ago to reject the bullets is very similar to the TEKKAI, am I wrong?
- Oh, you noticed it? - Said Sharken - Yes, it is. A fishman that practiced Fishman Karate so through the concept of your TEKKAI and made a similar technique for us fishmen, but as fishmen are naturally stronger than humans ours is stronger than your TEKKAI.
- Really? Would you be willing to test it? - asked Steven.
- Sharahahahahahaha - laughed Sharken - Give me your best hit - said Sharken while opening his arms and leaving his chest unprotected.
- Just for you to know I can used the SHIGAN with all my fingers. I can make five times the damage of a normal SHIGAN in one hit - said Steven.
- Sharahahahahahahaha. BRING IT ON - said Sharken.
- You got it - said Steven - GO SHIGAN
- SHARK SKIN -
Steven hit Sharken's chest with the five fingers of his right hand but Sharken's defense was way to strong and he broke his five fingers.
- Damn it - said Steven while bending over and holding his right hand.
- My turn - said Sharken - THOUSAND BRICK HAMMER
Sharken hit Steven on his back like a hammer would hit a nail, the floor did not hold and Steven fell two floors lower.
- OK, that was fun - said Sharken.
- YEAH YOU GOT ALL THE FUN - said Fishor and Slamu who were glaring at Sharken.
- Oh, you are back - said Sharken - Good so I can hit you again.
- Hit this – Said Fishor – THREE THOUSAND BRICK FIST – Fishor attacked Sharken hitting him on his face, chest and stomach at the same time with his three right arms. Sharken crushed into a wall and a lot of noise could be heard from inside the ship.
- Dude. I think you over did it – Said Slamu – He is going to kill you for that.
- Let him try – said Fishor.
Steven came out jumping suddenly from the whole on the floor.
- RANKYAKU – And he attacked Fishor and Slamu who dodged his attack.
- Wow, so this guy is still alive – said Slamu – Good, we may have some fun after all.
- SORU – Steven disappeared and appeared behind Slamu.
- SHIGAN RAIN – And connected several Shigans on Slamu's back. But Slamu protected himself with the SHARK SKIN technique
- That's it? – Asked Slamu – You picked a very wrong opponent to do that.
But before Slamu could do anything Fishor grabbed Steven by his legs, arms and head. Then he jumped high and went through the deck with Steven facing the floor and getting hurt.
- Not fair – Said Slamu – I wanted to hit him.
- Where is the idiot who wants to die? – Said Sharken coming out from the hole on the wall.
- Down there – Slamu pointed to the hole made by Fishor, sounds of punches could be heard from it. Then the sound stopped and Fishor came out of the hole.
- Well for a human he had great pain tolerance – Said Fishor.
- You are so dead – said Sharken and charged at Fishor.
- Wait! I am sorry! I wasn't thinking! It was the heat of the moment! PLEASE DON'T KILL ME – said Fishor who started running for his life around the deck.
- Well I guess I will have to sink this ship – said Slamu watching the other two fishmen fighting each other. Slamu jumped high and then push his two fists forward.
- TWO THOUSAND BRICK HAMMER –
And he went through the ship which started to sink.
- What the hell? – Said Sharken who stopped his right fist in the air while he was holding Fishor by the neck. Fishor also stopped his struggling.
- Hey guys – Said Slamu already on the water – The job is done let's go back. – And he left swimming.
- Man, I wanted to sink the ship – said Fishor.
- You shut up and get your ass moving – said Sharken and throw Fishor at Slamu's direction.
- Well – Said Sharken – Two ships down, eight to go
With that said he jumped to the water and swam to the ship where the others were waiting him.
