The moonlight brightly shined on Pars reflecting beautifully on the waters of the river, showing the tranquility of its current. The captain rested on top of his submarine with a local legends book on his hand while observing the behavior of the water, both the river and the sea. The wind was blowing a fresh breeze with the scent of local herbs. The atmosphere was perfect, except that in a few hours a fierce battle would break out.

On the deck of the Polar Tang the crew members were in charge of organizing provisions and starting the preparations for the great race, while a large silhouette approached in front their watercraft.

Everyone was fulfilling their tasks not giving importance to the stranger except for the captain who noticed his presence dedicating his attention to him for a few seconds.

—Penguin...

—Aye captain! —He answered, leaving his task behind instantly.

Trafalgar with a subtle head movement, nodded at the guest who was on the dock watching them from distance so that penguin could understand his new task.

—Ah, the guy from the bar!

—What's that? Is that… Fresh meat? —Sachi asked mocking the hero from a distance.

After hearing Sachi's words, a short freckled young man's eyes lit up and a huge grin broke out on his face causing him to run towards the edge of the boat until he saw the buff man just to start shouting at him.

—Hey new guy! You're my bitch now!

—...What was that? —Wondered the blond uncomfortably

—Forget it Sid, he'll just keep us company until the next port. —Penguin discouraged him.

—Don't get excited, rookie... —Sachi put his arm around him pulling him to his side, irritating the little freckled boy.

—You'll remain everyone's number one exploitable bitch until someone else comes in.

The jeers of the crew were interrupted by the captain's voice.

—Listen up... —The crewmen stopped their duties and gave him their full attention.

—Penguin, Sachi, Clione, Uni, Klein... Split up to the five ports and collect the data of all anchored ships: Crewmembers, rewards, captains, size of ship, armament, I want concise information... you have one hour. —Ordered the captain to then retire with Bepo to analyze a map of the island that his fluffy friend was carrying on his claws.

The hero, unsure of the young pirate's invitation, decided to observe his movements from a distance, allowing himself the option of leaving at any time.

He was facing a crew whose captain was known worldwide as the surgeon of death, a cold and calculating man, but above all mysterious… Undoubtedly a person to watch out for.

His subordinates obeyed his orders without protest, demonstrating total trust in the commands of their superior while working in total synergy. The 5 men with assigned tasks went down to the dock, among them, 2 of those he met hours before on the beach.

—Hey big guy, did you finally accept the captain's proposal? —Penguin approached him, elbowing the massive man in the ribs.

The blond had no reaction his question or the disrespectful gesture of the uniformed boy, he just kept his composure in silence.

—Heh, still doesn't seem to clear his mind. —He said out loud to Sachi.

The hero's quizzical gaze turned to the Orca-capped boy.

—Hey Lump of Meat, no hard feelings about Mimi, why don't you come with me? —Sachi continued somewhat animatedly, raising his palms in front of him.

Toshinori looked uncomfortable reacting to the nickname the irreverent boy had just assigned him _Who's Mimi?..._

—He's too flashy you idiot, that guy doesn't seem to be a master of stealth. —A new voice came from a tall puffy-haired man with half his face covered by a bandana.

—Both of you can investigate by keeping your distance, just stop wasting time. —Another one of the assigned guys complained, wearing a navy-blue cap showing his ochre-colored bangs.

The guys were rude but friendly, Toshinori didn't knew if it was an order from their captain or if it was of their own free will… Were the subordinates of that dark aura captain really good guys being controlled by a mastermind? That would explain why he doesn't discard them like others villains, they are his pawns.

—Could he be a charismatic leader? —He wondered, fearing for the boys. Perhaps by accompanying the little rascal he could clear up his doubts and acquire information about how life surrounded by piracy works.

The city had a lot of movement for being so early in the morning, the inhabitants began to roam the streets looking for perfect places to observe the great event.

Walking through them was not difficult, but it consumed more time than necessary being the port Kintana the most retired of submarine.

All Might was following Sachi who was strolling around carefree with his hands resting on the back of his neck whistling a happy tune.

—Hey big guy, do you know this song? —The hero remained silent, but the boy didn't mind.

—You know... binkusu no sake wo Todoke ni yuku yo ~

IT'S UNFAMILIAR TO ME.

—Oh! So, you do talk, I was already getting annoyed by the silence... but... I am even more annoyed by THESE PEOPLE WHO DON'T LETS US WALK! —He raised his voice in anger.

—We won't make it in time if the people keep piling up. —He grumbled grinding his teeth, taking a hunched position in a tantrum.

The young man felt his body no longer touching the ground as he stopped complaining, the blond's large hand was holding him by the uniform leaving him dangling similar to a dog carrying its puppy.

—Oi oi! What's wrong with you Meat Lump? Put me down! —He complained, squirming like a slug with salt as he was held.

The hero ignored him, took a little impulse and jumped high to move between the roofs of the houses, the cheeks of the uniformed man did not stop waving like a flag because of the speed they were moving.

After several rooftops, Toshinori saw Kintana harbor in the distance, finally stopping at the highest point he could find, a bell tower dome 3 blocks from his target.

Anchored in the harbor were 13 ships of various unique styles varying in armaments, sizes and designs, the people on them were troublesome, several quarrels between crew members of different ships occurred while the rest prepared their arsenal.

Toshinori was visibly annoyed while Sachi reacted with indifference to what he was witnessing, he took his binoculars from one of his pockets to appreciate in greater detail the hive of criminals.

—You know... You could have warned me that you were going to do that. —He grumbled indignantly trying to untangle his hair.

—WE NEEDED TO GET HERE FAST, DIDN'T WE? —He replied annoyed.

The pirate took out from another pocket a small notebook with a pen to give it to his temporary companion.

—Listen big guy, I know you don't like us but try to relax, okay? —The comment distracted his grumpiness, the boy wasn't really trying to annoy him, it seemed that being vulgar was part of his personality.

—Take note big guy, it'll help you to learn a little... Regardless if you decide to join us or not. —He smiled giving him a thumbs up, accepting that Yagi might not see him anymore after this.

Toshinori took a deep breath and agreed to cooperate in a good way with the young man, as he mentioned… He was not obligated to accept the invitation and the information could be useful for him to understand how this world was managed.

—Kitntana West zone, entrance by the fourth torrent that connects with the main water vein, thirteen crews in total, six of them with low rewards, three of high and four in the middle. —The young man began to dictate.

—What are you waiting for, this is not a school trip, write it down! Separate it by crew name, reward amount, fruit user, Haki and number of subordinates. —Sashi complained repeating the information as the blond began to write.

—Five of the thirteen captains have devil fruit. I don't know if they are Haki proficient. Only Captain Darth the Ripper of the Blade Pirates, former Captain of the Navy with a reward of one hundred eighty million berries…He does not have fruit, but is master in Haki and any weapon that has a blade. —He dictated the information in detail of all those present in sight.

The specifications he gave were concrete at the beginning but then began to digress into unimportant topics, it was clear that he started under a format that they often used. Undoubtedly the organization of his crew was to be respected.

Toshinori drew a data table with the information provided, then took advantage of a few minutes of silence from both men to analyze his notes. All those he wrote in the notebook had a high level of sadism, especially Captain Darth, who not only his cruelty stood out from the rest, but he was the only one of those present who previously used to be a marine... _Marines, the ones in charge of the justice of this world, the most similar to heroes_.

—ARE ALL PIRATES EQUALLY BLOODTHIRSTY? — Yagi asked despondently, as a hero he just can't help worrying about people.

Sachi froze after the question as it took him by surprise... He turned to the direction of his secretary looking at him for a few seconds before answering, He could tell that the blond was more disappointed than worried. Sachi sighed and sat down, leaning against the dome's lantern.

—I'm not gonna lie. —He let out a breath and shrugged his shoulders.

—The vast majority are...

THEY ARE?... DON'T YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF PART OF THAT KIND?

Sachi reacted to the comment, it looked like the buff man was burning his head off.

—I guess I had never thought about it... I am... We are free, maybe at some point we were cruel, but sadistic... naaah... I don't think anyone in the crew are that way.

—YOUNG MAN, THESE REWARDS... ARE BASED ON LIVES THEY HAVE TAKEN? —All Might kept analyzing the list.

—No, no... You could say that like everything else... Everyone is different. The rewards don't measure your strength or level of sadism, they also take into account crimes or knowledge. — The boy began to press his forehead with his index finger, indicating his effort to think.

—For example... let me think... an example... —The boy was red from searching in his memory for an example that would be simple for an outsider.

—Ah, the worst generation! You must have heard about someone from the worst generation... A year ago, there were three bounties around the same amount...Captain Kid —Toshinori recognized that name that Keto mentioned.

—That his bounty is based on the amount of people he has killed just on a whim, plus the mayhem he causes in his path...

—The second top was Straw Hat... He has no record of being violent by joy or a ruthless killer, his reward is due to his criminal activities, we thought his actions had hidden purposes, but he turned out to be just a stubborn impulsive jerk..

—And the third highest reward was from our captain, he has a clear goal, the infame he's getting is only the result of victories after defeating those who stand in his way.

A CLEAR GOAL… WHAT IS HIS GOAL? —Asked the blond curiously.

—Hmmm... There's no way I will tell you that... Maybe you're just acting dumb to get information... I'm not that stupid in case you think you're going to make me spit out his plans so easily. —Sachi said proudly with a bright grin.

All Might rose from his position and handed him the notebook. What could be so important to live the rest of your life as a villain?

—What...? But what is this? Why, it's shorter and simpler than the notes Bepo usually takes… And he always leaves everything smeared with ink. —He mumbled the last part.

—Well... —The uniformed man got up from his position and cleaned his suit before continuing.

—This conversation is stealing our time... let's go back, we must pass this information before the sun rises. —He jumped from the dome of the tower, landing on a window sill to cushion the fall so he could reach a rainwater pipe to descend to the ground.

Toshinori jumped straight to the floor following his companion with his mind a little clearer but not entirely convinced.

—YOUNG MAN, THE STREETS ARE A BIT MORE CROWDED, MAY I CARRY YOU TO GET THERE FASTER? —He expressed with a smile for the first time in front of the pirate.

—What a difference... Just don't carry me as a basket. It's ridiculous... The boys are going to make fun of me... Also… Don't you dare to say a word of it.

—HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! OK YOUNGSTER. —He expressed at the top of his lungs in his classic proud stand.


The pirates were gathered in front of their submarine claiming the tardiness of the absent crewmate, being interrupted by a shade projecting over them, the light of the full moon illuminated an unknown body falling from the heights, causing the uniformed to take their attack position.

The landing of the huge body raised a cloud of dust around it that slowly dissipated, revealing the figure of a large blond man with a strange hairstyle wearing a rather old black T-shirt, military green cargo pants and boots with a strange silhouette of unknown white material, carrying on his shoulder like a sack of potatoes the missing comrade dazed by the trip with his hair as a total mess and cap his in hand.

The crewmates calmed down when they saw the blond man lowering his dizzy nakama with difficulty to stand up after the trip.

—SORRY I'M LATE, I HOPE I DIDN'T RUIN YOUR PLANS. —He announced with one palm up and the other hand on his waist, slowly getting used to his surroundings, bringing out his repressed personality.

The boys ignored the stranger's behavior and began to fuss as usual.

—You'd think that... because there were two of them, they'd finish faster. Not that they would waste twice as much time.

—It must have been a very rewarding time... just look at Sachi. —Mocked the boy with the neck bandana.

—Did you guys went shopping? I hope you'll share with us some of what you brought. — Said an afro-haired girl walking around with groceries.

—That's enough! I was just explaining about the crews on the west harbor. —Sachi complained turning his back on them while crossing his arms, fed up with the provocations from his nakamas.

—Oi Sachi! Don't waste any more time and give me your report you idiot. —grumbled the man in the blue cap and bangs.

—How did you just call me asshole? —He exploded at the insult just to calm down almost instantly.

—I got you a better one, why don't you give us...Your reports...For my adorable secretary to summarize.

—-...Adorable secretary...I don't know if it's because he's treating me equal or just disrespectful.

—What?! Clione is always in charge of making the general report. —Claimed a new voice belonging to a man with two pigtails and a white cap, referring to the boy with bangs.

Sachi started flashing stars of happiness while handing over with his chest held high, the report he was given from his blond comrade.

—But... What is this? It's so well organized and perfect —The rest of the pirates approached curious to see what surprised their nakama that much.

—The new guy definitely did it, —they said simultaneously, disparaging Sachi's usual work.

—Why do you doubt that I did it? I mean, I didn't do it, but why do you say it with such contempt?

—I don't know... Maybe because it's well organized, clean, no erasures, no food grease…

—No misspellings, no nicknames, no unnecessary data. —Said Penguin pretty much tired of just remembering Sachi's usual work.

—How could we forget when he filled out two pages just describing Captain Bonney big bazongas? —The uniformed began to chant.

—WELL, HE WASTED A LOT OF TIME FLATTERING THE PIRATE LADIES. —The blond unintentionally joined in, to tease the boy.

—Don't disguise flattering with harassment, secretary. —Said Clione as he handed the rest of the sheets to the stranger in front of him.

HE ALSO CALLED ME SECRETARY...—A vein popped out in the hero forehead, but he did not answer.

—I like your organizing method; I hope you don't mind if I take it as a reference later on. —He hit him with his fist in a friendly way while grinning joyfully.

—THANK YOU... I'M SORRY, I DON'T KNOW YOUR NAMES. —He returned the smile in gratitude.

—AAAH! Certainly, we never introduced ourselves! —Sachi reacted, he had barely noticed his informality.

—My name is Sachi. —He pointed his thumb at himself.

—I'm Clione, it's a pleasure. —The boy with bangs commented excitedly.

—Uni. —Said the young man with crossed arms without details.

—Klein. —Said a man with a white cap and two pigtails, giving a thumbs up.

—Penguin... we already knew each other, but not formally... The big guy upstairs who came with us on the beach is Jean Bart.

—The wasted bear is Bepo. —Sachi added

—TOSHINORI YAGI. —He replied, standing tall with his hands on his hips, in his typical heroic position.

—Now that we've been introduced, I think it's official, you'll be part of the crew... temporarily. —Clione affirmed with a wide smile.

—I imagined that enthusiasm coming from Sachi or Penguin because they were the ones with the idea of integrating him, but you? —Klein reacted.

—What? He's organized like me, you know how tiring it is to be surrounded by a bunch of lazy slobs, it takes me 20 minutes to figure out Sachi's reports alone.

—Would you please care stop criticizing my reports?

DON'T! WAIT PIRATES, I STILL DON'T AGREED TO TRAVEL WITH YOU. —He reacted upset, waving his hands in front of his face and crossing them several times to show denial.

—Let's go! Yagi brother, don't play hard to get.

Toshinori kept wondering what the captain's goal was, the subordinate's despite of being pirates, didn't seem to be bad people, but the one in charge of them was a completely different story, he turned his attention to the deck of the Polar Tang, where he could see how Trafalgar was watching them interacting.

—I CAN'T, YOUR MOTIVATIONS ARE UNKNOWN TO ME, I DON'T WHAT GOAL ARE YOU TRYING TO ACHIEVE OR WHO DO YOU WISH TO HARM… UNTIL I KNOW YOUR MOTIVATIONS, I WON'T HAVE A CLEAR ANSWER.

—Goal? —The boys thought.

—You mean to defeat… —They covered Clione's mouth, turning instinctively to see their captain's reaction. He was watching them, making them freeze… In response Trafalgar only looked away with a tired expression, not giving importance to their words.

—He is going after a specific pirate, but he is very powerful... Both in physical and military strength... We cannot be defeat him directly. —Klein completed, who was still standing idly by.

As he guessed, his captain was a strategist with a concise objective, and indeed he did not sound like someone who sought to harm civilians.

Toshinori kept watching the captain from the dock causing them to exchange glances. Trafalgar was folding his arms, holding his nodachi resting on the bard of his submarine, waiting for everything to calm down on its own.

—WHAT DO YOU WANT IN RETURN? —The hero changed his countenance, addressing his words to the captain.

—My nakamas... That they don't get a single scratch while traveling with us.

—CAPTAAAAAAAAAIIINNN 3! ~ —The companions cheered their captain's words, some of them were animated while others blushed.

—WAIT WE DON'T NEED A BODYGUARD! —They complained angrily.

_WHAT A SUDDEN CHANGE OF ATTITUDE —Thought the hero, feeling embarrassment from the boys.

Jean Bart just analyzed him with a dark look in the distance.

—I REFUSE TO ATTACK THOSE IN CHARGE OF THE WELFARE AND SAFETY OF CIVILIANS.

—Marines. —The pirates corrected him in unison as they waved their hand pointing out his ignorance.

—This guy really doesn't know anything.

—Welcome big guy! —They patted All Might on the back.

—You'll have to carry with our shit. —Uni, Penguin and Klein nodded their heads while Sachi and Clione did show a little more enthusiasm.

—Stop wasting time and share your reports with the captain! —Jean Bart scolded.

They all started to go up on deck with All Might following them as if he were their bodyguard.

—Don't forget the report, secretary. —Sachi ordered.

He was right, as Keto said… Instead of refusing Yagi took the opportunity to learn from the pirates who were involved in the race, including this one.

Toshinori analyzed his surroundings, he did not feel trusty enough to enter the facilities of the Polar Tang. He preferred to stay outside on the wide deck while the boys did not show themselves in the surroundings, thinking the reason for that is the lack of furniture and no place to rest, it may be a little uncomfortable but silent… All Might proceed to squat down and start with the full report.

He began by analyzing the information carefully to generate an independent data table all perfectly organized, each sheet contained the detailed information of each ship in the same order.

Once finishing his task, he observed the captain who was alone in the lower area near the rudders at the stern. On that same surface there was what looked like his office or room, coming to the conclusion that, of all the submarine that area was considered his territory leaving the rest as a free roaming are for his crew.

There still was no trace of his subordinates, all the boys were inside the facilities, a group went to the torpedo room preparing the armament, the rest consulted the route with Bepo now that they had the confirmation of the captain. So, delivering the information to Trafalgar through a third party was not an option. He had to approach it himself.

All Might proud and firmly stood up closing the notebook he held in his hands, distinguishing on the other side of the submarine the mysterious captain sitting on the perimeter handrail, enjoying the chaos between crews that were brawling on the surroundings.

The blond tried to relax his hands so as not to show his uneasiness. The wind blew through his body evidencing the fresh sensation caused by the sweat that arose from the nerves, despite so many years of experience facing villains and tense situations, he did not feel prepared for this encounter, he wanted to show an unbreakable presence, but all the new experiences did not allow it entirety, he felt how his heart accelerated with every step, the cold sweat running through his body, his face trying to show inexpressiveness when in reality his jaw was tense and his eyebrows suffered micro tremors... How could someone so young can be so intimidating? Or did he unconsciously desire his approval to get his answers?

He was getting closer and closer to the Captain, his firm footsteps can be heard echoing on the stairs to the lower deck.

His presence alerted the young man that the blond was approaching, giving him a defiant look causing All Might to swallow a little saliva. He was inside his territory and did not know the extent of his power, he could not underestimate it as the old man commented.

Without a word the hero handed him the notebook with the notes. The captain's look was not so somber when he received them, but rather a bit expressionless. Law looked carefully at the document in his hands and showed a bit of surprise.

—The boys were not wrong at choosing you to capture the report. —He expressed his satisfaction with a small silent laugh, lightening the tension a little.

—I hope you found this information useful. —His lips drew a smile, but his gaze continued challenging him.

With this exchange, they both sealed the approval to continue with the agreement. Before Toshinori could say anything, the dark-haired man interrupted him.

—Soon we will be on our way... When we reach the open sea... Only until then, you will explain to me who you are and your situation... In the inter don't let my nakamas get hurt... —Law got up from the handrail and proceeded to join his crew.

The blond was serious, and a bit intrigued actually… Did he only care about the welfare of his crewmen, or did he have some ulterior motive? But Yagi understood quite well the untold message between his words… Law did not trust him, depending on his answers he could drive him out into the open sea with that skill he possesses.

If so, he could counter attack the vessel or strike a deal. Trafalgar is a cunning boy, but so was he, come to think of it, they both had the same disadvantage, not knowing the full potential of their adversary… but something was clear, the surgeon of dead was a brilliant man… Under the clauses he requested, Law still had the upper hand.


The color of the sky began to take on delicate pinkish shades, announcing the upcoming sunrise. As soon as it appeared, the race would start.

The pirates began to prepare the moorings of their ships, it was known that Pars Island had a peculiar phenomenon, but the people of the island referred to it as the legend of the God Aeolus, the spirit of the wind that takes care of the island and its inhabitants, Aeolus vain and proud seeks the perfection of the sun, its life and beauty that everyone praises day by day, so every morning when the first ray of light rises, Aeolus runs with force guiding the water towards the top of the half-moon shaped mountain, trying to extinguish its brightness.

This first powerful gust of indomitable wind is called the "Theo Timoria".

At the Polar Tang all the crew members were on deck waiting for indications. For the first time in a long time the crew kept complete silence and in return their captain was calm with his eyes closed, listening to "the voices" of the villains around him, of all the presences, the most threatening was aboard his submarine. Even so, he did not regret his decision, the life of a pirate carries its risks and the need to make big bets to get big rewards.

—Don't attack, just focus on maneuvering until we reach the mainstream!

—AYE CAPTAIN! —They replied, stamping their feet in affirmation.

The sun was about to shine its first flashes in the sky announcing the start of the race, the den den mushi speakers began to narrate the origin of the race, this being the twelfth consecutive year of this great event, Dead End Race where hundreds of boats leave and only a small percentage manages to finish their journey having only one winner... The clouds were orange shaded witnessing the early arrival of the first ray of sunshine.

The announcers continued to generate excitement to those present, announcing the list of the bets and mentioning their favorites, being the Heart Pirates on the TOP of these.

At the top of the half-moon mountain, a ray of light was seen, the position of the sun, the mountain and the water, created a great beam of light directed as if it was shot towards the sky, forming a yellow inverted cross. The fireworks were shot all around the perimeter of the riverbed, reflecting their colorful glow on the water, generating a multicolored aquatic light path. It was an impressive spectacle for the public.

Shouts and booms went on and on, demonstrating the enthusiasm of those present. The boats lowered their sails almost in sync to immediately be pushed by a wild gust of wind causing them to lose control and collide with each other.

_Theo Timoria_ Thought the dark-haired man as he held on to the irregularities on the floor of his ship. He had not yet given the signal to lower the sails, anticipating this outcome.

—Casualty update!

—Captain, four of the twenty-one ships have fallen victim to the sea current, all low reward. —Clione replied, tearing 4 pages out of the notebook.

—They were of no use to us at all. —Told Jean Bart

The rest of the pirates moved forward. They could see how they attacked each other, reducing the number of ships before joining the main stream.

After the chaos they cast off their moorings to integrate, the number of ships in their area decreased to 14. 7 of those ships that sailed from the Kuren dock were now considered total loss.

In charge of updating the casualty list was the organized Clione.

—I love this, I just have to rip out a page to update, —Celebrated Clione happily tearing out pages.

The ships were beginning to integrate into the main vein of the river. Since Kuren Port was at an intermediate distance, it allowed them to have an overview of all the participants traveling in the main stream to soon join them in the so-called navel of chaos, the center of the battle in the upstream.

The roar of the cannons disguised perfectly with the fireworks, hardly allowing them to hear the noise of the crowd, the surrounding area was witnessing people excited by a disastrous race. Pirates invaded enemies' ships while their crews tried not to interfere in the battle.

Trafalgar walked towards the bow of his submarine appreciating the spectacle, his crew instinctively formed up behind him so he could see them when he turned towards them, Law rested his nodachi on his shoulder while keeping his other hand in the pocket of his trench coat.

—We are on the defensive, avoid destroying ships unless the bounties are of low value.

—Aye captain!

—Toshinori-Ya —He caught the attention of the muscular man who was standing back from everyone listening from the stairs.

—Protect the ship from the cannons! You must not respond to unnecessary fights.

—The rest... Avoid boarding enemies and I repeat... Do not attack, our goal is to allow as many ships as possible to reach the exit of pars, the greater your reward, the better... Understood? —A sketchy smile appeared on his face while a shade was projected hiding his eyes,

—AYE CAPTAIN. —They celebrated with their arms in the air.

The Polar Tang avoided the obstacles and shipwrecks along the way by moving as if it had been there before, navigating the torrential waters of the vertical current and updating the list of losses nonstop.

They began the race by setting sail with 100 ships registered in the logbook and another 26 unknown ones could be spotted at shore, currently they could count 87 remaining ships surviving the intense Theo Timoria.

The deafening sound of fireworks disguised the cannon blasts made the task of identifying the attacks a bit tricky.

—NEWBIE! —Scream 2 members to the blond who was failing his only task.

Toshinori's attention was directed towards the uniformed pirates, seeing how a fast silhouette passed in front of them, it belonged to Bepo who spotted the projectiles approaching at high speed and without hesitation rushed to protect his friends.

The bear jumped to a great height and managed to deflect 2 cannonballs away from his ship, but there were still 4 more approaching and it was impossible for him to land and immediately deflect those.

—Damn! —Shouted the bear.

Toshinori did not know how to react, if he threw a blow to the air or deflected them, he could harm the public, he was used to heroes being in charge of moving away the crowds to be able to act as the situation required. But here everyone was irresponsibly exposing themselves to danger.

—SHAMBLES!

2 projectiles were deflected back to the same direction they came from, colliding with the ones that were on their way, the hit of these caused a big explosion in front of them. Toshinori saw an option he had not thought of. Catch and manage to intercept the attack with the same cannonballs.

All Might was familiar with hand-to-hand fighting, despite his experience, this was out of everything he was used to. He understood that his task did not involve fighting directly or harming other people, the captain of the Heart Pirates was clear that he would not let him participate in harming another life, the villain he distrusted respected his ideals, so he assigned him a task that was entirely defensive and thus not infringe his values, causing in the hero arose a feeling of respect for the captain of the submarine, although depending on how the event transpired, that could change.

A voice was heard behind him with an irritated tone.

—Toshinori-ya, you've been assigned one single task... —He gave him a grim expression, looking clearly annoyed.

The blond watched him carefully nodding his head, jumping to the top of the mast of the Polar Tang for better visibility. He watched as the ships always attacked forward and the sides while defending the rear which was most vulnerable.

Now understanding which sides needed more protection he jumped to the stern to defend the ship which whether he wanted to or not, was now his temporary home.

In the distance he sighted 2 ships preparing their attack firing 8 cannonballs that were approaching the Polar Tang at high speed, Toshinori jumped catching 2 of them and throwing them back to the same direction from where they were fired trying to imitate the defense tactic of the captain crashing them together.

One of them managed to intercept with a cannonball that upon impact deflected the rest into the water, however his second throw not only did not intercept with any of them, but it went through the enemy ship, taking another one that was located behind his attacker.

NO WAY! —He expressed surprised and ashamed of his mistake while a drop of sweat ran down the back of his neck due to his regret. He didn't want to turn around and see the reprimand he would receive.

The blond was crestfallen at the stern of the ship resting in a squatting position with both hands resting on his head trying to digest what he had just done, he only had to defend and not attack anyone, and he agreed with that, but by accident he had destroyed two ships not knowing if he had ended up with some lives.

—AH it's a two-for-one special! Not bad secretary, but we agreed not to cause casualties. —Sachi mocked.

—You must learn to listen. —Bepo mocked shrugging his arms.

—Buuuuuh Idiot. —Some pirates mocked, giving him the thumbs down.

—It doesn't matter, they were low reward. —Clione tried to encourage him by giving him a thumbs up from afar.

—Don't worry big guy, they are enemies. —Said the fluffy-haired girl.

—If you're lucky you might get your own reward. —The serious captain joined the game to lower his spirits.

Toshinori screamed internally at that last statement, he lowered his head in disappointment with himself.

—Stop feeling sorry for the rookie and protect the submarine. —Jean Bart scolded while getting ready to attack as a ship had been paired with them ready to invade the Polar Tang.

All the ships were approaching the chasm, it seemed that they were going to be shot into the sun by the speed they were having and the size of the sun that simulated this due to the humidity of the island.

—Do not continue with the attack, prepare for the fall. —The captain ordered.

—The fall? —They all wondered, including the hero.

The enemies were about to invade the submarine, but not far away they observed the summit of the ascending mountain, the highest point of the crescent-moon, they were about to experience 120 meters drop.

—WE ARE GOING TO DIE!

Sachi and Penguin reacted by holding on to each other but they did not realize that neither of them held on to the submarine, gravity did its thing and in the blink of an eye they were in mid-air at the same time that their ship was descending due to the fall. Making them the only ones not holding the ship.

All Might jumped catching the clumsy duo landing on the keel from another ship, which he used as propulsion to return to the deck holding on to the railings with one hand and in the other holding the pirates.

—FEAR NO MORE, BECAUSE I'M HERE. —He landed with the boys showing a passionate gleam in his eyes and a big white smile.

—How trustworthy that guy is. —Umi commented.

The boys struggled to get the guest let them go, now holding on to the railings on their own, although the blond insisted on helping them, but they refused feeling embarrassed.

They were about to land when the captain changed the position of the submarine for a ship that was already sailing safely the current, the descent had even more speed than Theo Timoria, making it almost impossible to gain control and avoid obstacles, but thanks to the surgeon's power, getting out of there unharmed would be very simple task.

One thing was clear... Lots of participants would not get out in this round.

The pirates on the ship worked like gears in a clock, all important pieces that allowed everything to work perfectly. And as ordered, no one was in charge of the cannons. Attacks that were dedicated to them were deflected by the hero.

The same speed played in favor, preventing the enemies from boarding, they only had to worry about maneuvering and redirecting the cannonballs.

Law was sitting in front of the submarine observing the surroundings. After carefully analyzing all the participants and the notes updated by Clione, he created a huge Room surrounding all the ships at the end and some at the front.

—Scan... —His companions looked at him carefully without knowing what he had planned.

—Shambles...

The order of the ships changed, the ones with the largest bounty were in front of the Polar Tang while the smaller ones shifted to the end. Transporting the largest vessel diagonally, causing all the ships with low value crews to impact each other.

—Let the game begin. —His lips drew a smile on his face as he settled his nodachi on his shoulder, resting his right hand on the hilt.
