While most Marines were engaging with the three pirate captains in front of the auction house, a few Marines approached the back door to rescue the Celestial Dragons.

"Reporting in," said the Marine as they reached the back door. "Rescue team at the back entrance. Now, entering the building."

They then entered the auction house from the back door.

At the front, most of the Marines were still engaging with the pirate captains, but they were completely overwhelmed.

"The rescue team has infiltrated the building," a Marine reported.

"As soon as the hostages are rescued, all soldiers will commence the attack," the Navy officer ordered.

"Sir!"

The rescue team had reached backstage and were hiding behind the hole the giant had made on the front stage.

"Reporting in. Rescue team has reached the stage."

"I see them; you think we should attack?"

"That's a negative; our orders are to secure the hostages and nothing more. The safety of the Dragon takes president over everything else. We need to determine their well-being first."

Outside, the Marines realised just how dangerous these three pirate captains were.

"I don't believe it; the mortars didn't affect any of them."

"Yeah, these guys are really living up to their reputation."

"This is no time to be impressed! It's our job to hold these bastards off until the Admiral arrives!"

"Like we're going to wait that long," said Law and then tossed them the severed head of the Marine he was holding.

One of the Marines caught the head and immediately screamed, tossing it aside. "Argh, a head!"

"Hey, what are you doing? Don't throw me!" the Marine yelled.

A Marine was able to catch the head and looked at him stunned. "How the hell are you talking?"

"I don't really know, but my body feels hot for some reason," he said.

"Body? What are you talking about?"

"Uh, there's a headless body running around on fire," said a Marine.

Sure, now running around was a headless body on fire, no doubt due to earlier explosions.

"Aww, help, I'm burning up! It hurts!" the headless Marine cried.

"It hurts? How can you even feel it?"

"Someone pour some water on it, hurry!"

The Marine immediately threw a bucket of water over the headless body, putting out the flames, much to the relief of the bodiless head.

"I thought I was a goner," said the head and turned his eyes to Law. "Listen, everybody, be careful. That guy makes weird circles; don't get caught inside them!"

Just as he said that, Law began moving his hands. "Now, Room."

Then suddenly, surrounding the Marines was another one of those strange circles.

"So, do you mean like this?" the Marine asked.

"That's right, exactly like this," said the head.

They then suddenly looked at Law, horrified as he drew his sword, and seconds later, he cut all to pieces.

"What is going on here!"

"Make yourselves comfortable," said Law as he sheathed his sword. "This'll be over before you know it."

"Gamma Mode!" Hiccup yelled as he immediately transformed into his Gamma form. "I'd start running if I were you."

The Marines were a little startled as Hiccup had now grown in size.

"Stand your ground!" the Navy officer ordered. "Don't even blink, men! Just aim and fire at will!"

"But Commodore, sir! Our weapons are flying away!"

It was true all the Marines' weapons flew out of their hands; even the mortars would be lifted.

"What?! But how?!" the Navy officer yelled.

In the auction house, all the pirates were getting ready to leave when all the weapons scattered around suddenly began to float. Even Toothless' swords were about to take off, but he was able to grab them before that happened.

"Hey, what's going on?" Toothless asked.

"Who's doing this?" Ragnar asked as he kicked the rifle away.

"I don't know," said Astrid as she held a tight grip on her axe.

Everything made of metal gathered around, forming a giant fist attached to Dagur's right arm.

"Look at that."

"How did he do that?" one of the Marines Law had cut to pieces asked.

"No time to be impressed," said Law as he began moving his hands in the circle formation.

The Marines, he cut to pieces, suddenly found themselves spinning around as if they were in some vortex. Then suddenly, the Marines found themselves being attached to practically anything: wood barrels, cannons and even the other limbs of their fellow Marines, creating a jumbled mess.

"Hey! Those are my legs. Get them back!" a Marine whose head was attached to a barrel cried.

"Where did my arms go?" a Marine asked who had legs instead of arms.

"You got too many chests!" said a Marine whose head was attached to several arms.

"I know!" The Marine cried, whose upper torso was attached to the neck of another body.

"Dragon Titan Fist!" Hiccup yelled as he swung his massive fist towards the Marines.

"Eat this!" said Dagur, raising his giant metal fist.

The Marine immediately ran away to escape the two massive fists heading towards them, but it was too late, and they were all sent flying.

The other pirates had just made it outside, just as the pirate captains took out all the Marines.

"Oh, great," said Toothless. "It's already come to this."

"What a sight, and I don't even have our eyes," said Skull.

"Captain's lost it," said one of Law's men. "No surprise."

Rayleigh laughed. "These rookies are quite reliable indeed."

"Huh, awfully impatient, aren't they?" said Killer.

"Do you think we went a little overboard?" Hiccup asked.

"This coming from the guy who punched a Celestial Dragon," Law smiled.

"It is a matter what they do, their formation is crap now," said Dagur.

"Commodore, it appears the remaining pirates have exited the auction house, sir," said a Marine.

The Navy officer looked as the three pirate crews exited the auction house.

"They want to escape; I won't let them make a mockery of us," he growled. "We've got plenty of reinforcements!"

"The three hostages are counted for and secured at the back entrance, sir!" said the rescue squad leader over the transponder snail.

"Aim the mortars of the crew members without powers!" the Navy officer commanded. "Firing squads to the rear, we are now committing an all-out attack. Move in now! Take them down!"

"Yeah!" The Marines yelled.

They immediately began charging at the pirate with everything they had.

"You see the broken rank and disorganised," said Dagur. "They're rushing in for a blind attack."

"They seem to think that they can take us down with an all-out assault," said Hiccup, folding his arms.

"Hey, Hiccup," said Dagur. "I'm glad I had this chance to meet you; the next time, I won't show you any mercy, understand."

Hiccup shrugged. "Fair enough, but I'm the one who's going to find the One Piece."

Both Dagur and Law looked at him curiously. So curiously, they were ignoring the Marines charging at them. Marine was a massive accident that nearly struck down Dagur if Killer hadn't caught it with his blades. He then somersaulted and struck him with the blade in his other hand as it spun around like a saw blade.

"Hey, Captain! What are you standing around for?" Killer asked.

"Killer, you know what," said Dagur, his eyes not leaving Hiccup. "On our journey up to this point, we've been ridiculed whenever we mention the One Piece. They said that we were on a fool's errand searching for it. And each time that happened, I slaughtered everyone that even snickered. What lies ahead is a sea of death for those who think the One Piece is something to laugh at. Let's meet again in the New World."

Both Hiccup and Law looked at him, and the two of them smiled.

"Move out, men!" Dagur ordered.

"Yes, sir!" said his men.

The man with a skull-like face suddenly breathed out a stream of fire, burning the Marines. Killer then moved in, cutting down the number of them with his blades.

"Trafalgar Law!" a Marine yelled, building a greatsword. "How dare you treat us like a bunch of toys!"

"Bepo," said Law.

Then, suddenly, flying out of nowhere was the polar bear, who kicked the Marine right across the face. He immediately took down three Marines, who charged in with incredible speed and power.

He then noticed Law walking away. "Hey, Captain, are you going back inside already?" he asked.

Law was making his way to the large slave that Saint Oswald used to get around.

The Dragon Riders quickly joined up with Hiccup.

"There you guys are," he said. "Okay, it's time for us to get out of here."

The Marines immediately charged, and Ragnar took several down with powerful kicks.

"Hiccup, look over there," Ragnar pointed.

Hiccup turned and saw a nearby hill where Duval and some of his men were waving at them.

"Hey! Young master and friends!" Duval yelled. "Here we are!"

"What are those guys doing?" Hiccup moaned.

"What's that? Did you call me handsome?" Duval asked.

"Not even close," said Hiccup, shaking his head.

"Anyway, we're all set to help you guys get out of here," Duval informed them and then turned to his men. "Okay, are you ready to do this men?"

"Yes! Life is rosy and beautiful," they said.

"Wasn't really looking for help from those goofballs again, but we're in a hurry," said Ragnar.

"Then let's move it," said Hiccup.

"Dragon Conqueror Hiccup is getting away!" a Marine yelled.

Instantly, the Marines began to swarm Hiccup, but Skull quickly jumped into the air and began playing his violin.

"Lullaby Flanc!" he said. Upon hearing the music, the Marines instantly fell asleep. "Escape while you can! Run!"

"Thanks, Skull," said Hiccup.

Three Marines then instantly aimed their rifles at Duval.

"Hey, are you with those pirates?"

"No! We're not mixed up," said Duval quickly. "We ain't pirates. Pirates would scare us."

"Nine Flowers!" Heather yelled.

Suddenly, three arms began to sprout from each of the Marines.

"What the heck?"

"With a Twist," said Heather.

Suddenly, the arms began to twist the Marines' bodies, causing them to cry in pain, and then they collapsed.

Duval instantly fell to his knees. "Whoa, that was scary."

"Poor head, he suffered so much drama after Navy Headquarters hunted him down," said one of the Life Riders.

"And yet he endures. What an amazing guy."

"Why, you two!" said Duval with tears in his eyes. "This is no time to talk about trauma or anything else. We owe the young master our lives; we have to help him and his friends out of this trouble."

Snotlout was busy punching Marines who got too close, and the twins took down any Marines he missed with their blades. In his Horn Point, Chopper was mowing down any marina his way, creating a path.

"Roseo Colonnade!" Chopper yelled.

Astrid and Toothless were also doing their part, cutting down the Marines.

"Hey, old man, Eret, move it!" Astrid yelled.

"Right, much obliged," said Rayleigh.

"Come on, don't let them escape! After them!" said a Marine as more than appeared.

"How many of these guys are there?" Snotlout groaned.

Rayleigh laughed. "This is certainly exciting."

"I like your style, Grandpa," said Eret.

"Move it, you guys!" Toothless yelled to the others.

"We're coming," said Hiccup.

"Don't let the Dragon Rider crew escape! They're the real perpetrators here!" said a Marine. "Fire! Fire!"

The Marines began firing their rifles at the Dragon Riders as they ran away, but thunderclouds began to form overhead.

"What is that?"

"It's time for Thunderbolt Tempo!" Fishlegs yelled and then unleashed a powerful bolt of lightning directly on top of the Marines.

At the same time, Law had removed the slave collar from the large man.

"But why?" he asked, looking at Law curiously.

Law merely smiled.

The Marines just stared, shocked.

"Look at that. He set Saint Oswald's slave free."

"I don't know how he uncuffed him, but stop that guy!"

They then immediately began to charge at them.

"Captain John Bart, care to come along with me and my crew?" Law asked.

In response, Bart knocked back the Marines with his fists before returning to Law. "It's been a long time since anyone's called me by that name. But if it means I can be free from the Celestial Dragons and leave this place, then I would be happy to call you my captain."

"I'm glad to hear it," Law smiled. "Half the thanks goes to Dragon, though."

More Marines began to move in.

"Don't let them get away! Go, go!"

The Dragon Riders, meanwhile, had managed to hitch a ride with the Life Riders on the flying fish and were now making their getaway.

"Full speed ahead!" Hiccup ordered.

"Leave it to us," said his Rider.

The Life Riders then took off and began making their way to Grove 13.

Since Eret and Rayleigh had to carry Camie and Octron, they had to ride with Duval, as Motobaro was the only one strong enough and began to carry all.

Sadly, this didn't stop the Marines from firing at them.

"Don't give up, men; open fire!"

"Come on," Eret groaned and looked at Duval. "Can't this slowpoke cow motorcycle thing go any faster?"

"Actually, this is its top speed, sorry," said Duval, looking embarrassed.

"They're catching up to us," Rayleigh noted as he saw several Marines chasing after them on small boats.

"If we don't move, they'll be on us in no time," said Eret and then he got an idea. "Wait!"

The Marines chasing after Dagur and Law's crew soon found themselves stuck on the island as they had just destroyed a bridge connecting to the opposite island.

"They went that way!"

"Don't let them escape!"

The Marines then began crossing the water to climb up the roots to get onto the next island.

"We took out that bridge, and they're still chasing after us," said one of Dagur's men.

"Of course they are," said Dagur. "Probably some soldiers back in town, too. We need to get the hell out of here."

Then suddenly, a bright light shot out of nowhere and raised his leg, burning the skin.

"Captain!" Killer yelled.

"Captain Dagur, are you okay?"

"Look up there," said Dagur.

They looked up and saw, standing on one of the massive tree roots was Kuma, who had steam exiting from his mouth.

"Wait, is that…?" Killer stared.

"What's he doing out here?" said Dagur, shocked.

Law and his crew were still tangling with a few Marines, but Bepo took them down rather easily with some powerful kicks.

"That bear is a maniac! How are we going to stop him?"

"What I want to know is how can a bear talk?"

"Yeah, I'm sorry," said Bepo, looking embarrassed.

"You're shy about it?" the Marines stared.

"We don't have time for this, Bepo," said Law.

Bepo then jumped out of the way, and moments later, Bart slammed his fist onto the ground with such force that it destroyed the bridge they were on.

"Damnit! They destroyed the bridge!"

"You're the new guys, so you work under me, okay," said Bepo to Bart.

"Fine, as long as I'm not a slave, fine by me," said Bart.

The Dragon Riders had finally lost the Marines as they made their way to Grove 13.

"Looks like we finally lost," said Snotlout.

"Good, but the going asserted archipelago top and bottom was until they find us," Hiccup reminded them.

They then heard an engine noise and saw Motobaro steaming ahead. Eret had somehow created an engine for the buffalo in no time.

Rayleigh laughed. "Good work there, son. You must be pretty skilled to remodel this craft in such a short period of time."

"I'll say," said Duval. "You're amazing; it's so fast now."

"No biggie," Eret shrugged.

Law and his crew were still making their getaway.

"Captain, look there!" one of Law's men pointed.

Law looked ahead and saw Dagur, who appeared to be battling someone. "Dagur and…" His eyes widened when he realised just who Dagur was fighting. "…is that?"

Sure enough, it was the Warlord Kuma.

"Well, damn, what is one of the Seven Warlords," Law gasped.

Kuma then noticed them. "Trafalgar Law…"

Law then immediately reached for his sword. "Would you look at that? He knows my name."

Kuma then opened his mouth and fired a laser straight at him, and moments later, a small explosion.

"Captain!" Bepo cried.

"This archipelago is next to the Navy Headquarters and Meridian," said Bart. "Just about anyone can show up here at any time."

"Marine reinforcements are coming from the rear!"

Dagur looked at Kuma with a grimace. "Really can't predict this guy. Hey, Law! Don't get involved in this!"

Stepping out from the dust was Law, who didn't have a single scratch on him. "Would you give it out already? You should know by now you can't tell me what to do." He then turned her attention to Kuma. "Anyway, big guy, we've got enough ugly surprises for one day; I'm not about to wait around for an Admiral to show up."

He then conjured a small circle in the palm of his hand and took up a fighting stance. "So I suggest that you let us pass through."
