Serious; The Dusk Pirates; Chapter 10; The legendary tower of Vavel (Open to the Dusk Pirates)

Wako nodded to Lappy after he saw a questionable look on his face, he obviously didn't think he had the ability to hear the objects so far down. Wako got himself prepared then, stretching his legs by bending down in the most awkward of positions (his but was facing lappy). He looke at the hole in front of him, taking both of his hands and making a Box like shape out of them with the hole in the middle. Wako was picturing the hole and even going as far as predicting what was going to happen. In Wako's mind he was going to jump in and fall epicly on the ground, causing a giant crater to form, he will then punch everyone around him, then kick them, then beat all of the bad guys. Wako will become the hero in all of this, and renowned as the best fighter in the Dusk Pirates. Wako smiled at his own ideals, he might even be rewarded for doing all of the work epicly.. he might be given something like cake, or something he would like.. like his own laboratory to do expiraments!! No that would be worthless, the cake is much more useful.

Wako jumped inside the hole, at first he prepared himself by putting both legs separated and mentally preparing himself that it was going go hurt when he fell. However, once he jumped over the hole and fell a convenient branch sticking out of the hole struck Wako in the worst of places, causing him to fall with a pale face down to the abyss of the hole. Eventually he fell on his face, his screaming while falling still echoed through the cave. Wako got up shortly after with a serious look, like none of that had happened.

"I see this hole is against me, I guess I'll have to teach it a lesson later on.. you win this one Mr. Darkcave"

[INSIDE THE TUNNELS]

Lappy (With Wako)

Lappy was following the crazy clown of the Dusk pirates and was accompanying him while he was returning to the battlefield. Apparently, he was away for a long period. At these important moments, even a single second was very, very important and Lappy knew that the two of them would have to return so that they would assist the other members of the Dusk Pirates. However, Wako's craziness would not allow him to do things as he wished. Being a quite innocent being, Lappy was dragged by Wako to do his crazy stuff and so he jumped inside the giant pit along with him a few seconds after Wako jumped. While he was falling, he was screaming very loudly and he had a wide smile on his face, wide enough to remind to anybody that would see him (though there was nobody around who could see him) the annoying smile of Wako. Lappy was becoming quickly much like Wako while he was with him. The two of them should split up.

However, things were not done yet. Wako ended up falling on the ground with his face and he was down for a few seconds. He was quite okay, probably because of the effects of the medicine that he received... But right after he stood up, Lappy ended up falling on his head and landing on the back of Wako, in a similar way that the clown landed on the ground. That oversized bunny...

Unknown (With Maes)

While the mysterious man was walking along with Maes, he had a discussion with him. He was apparently trying to learn why that guy would join Wally and he actually managed to extract some information. "I see..." he said and then he turned his head upwards. Apparently, a loud sound was heard, as if something crashed inside the ground above them. "It looks like somebody is above us." he said to Maes. What was going on now?

Wako moved about once his body had touched ground, Lappy was with him as company. His pink hair was especially messy that day, since he had gone through hell and back on both the fights and the two falls that were broken by his face (not including the one fall that hurt his baby makers). Wako looked around and only saw darkness.. which to him meant that thje enemy was hiding from him, why else would darknes be in an underground tunnel many meters bellow the island? It simply had to be that the darkness followed the enemy's wishes and concealed them from his sight. Wako laughed out-loud for a second.

"I think I might have made the enemy wet themselves with my pure excelence! Lappy we must go find these fools and defeat them!! I guarantee Maxulus will pay us with something worth the trouble.. like new costumers. Maybe he can make a big billboard on the side of the boat that'll advertise my colorful strings. I'll be rich!"

Wako moved deeper in the cave unaware that he was walking straight into an enemy trap. The booze bottle stayed safely in his pants, let's hope he remembered to wear underwear this day.

[INSIDE THE TUNNELS]

Lappy (With Wako)

Lappy was looking at Wako while he was talking and while he was moving deep inside the tunnels. Apparently, Wako was very reckless and Lappy was innocent enough to follow him without even thinking that they would be in big trouble if they got deep inside the tunnels. While the other members of the Dusk Pirates could easily stand on their own, these two of the weakest members of the crew and so they would be in big trouble if one of the Commanders appeared, or at least that was the logical.

For a minute, they kept walking and walking... And while they were walking, like everybody else, they had an encounter. A very strange encounter. In front of them, there was a man. His face was shadowed as he wore a large hat on his head. He had a very wide body, like a square and he had long arms that were reaching his knees. His muscles were quite wide and he wore the fur of a bear on his body as his clothing. He had a large club on his left hand and a large hammer on his right hand.


"It looks like I was called by the boss for no reason at all... And I was having a good time at the wrecked ship nearby... I couldn't even end the game of Monopoly I was playing with Freya!" he murmured in front of the two members of the Dusk Pirates. "Whatever... I guess I will have to eliminate you as fast as possible so that the boss will tell us to retreat." he continued and he raised his club in order to prepare for battle.

However, before he would attack, Lappy would finally make his move as a fighter of the Dusk Pirates. The lapahn jumped towards Gracius with great force and he started performing a barrage of kicking attacks, as well as a few slashes with his hands. "Cha! Cha! Cha! Cha! Cha! CHA!" the lapahn shouted while performing the barrage of kicking and fist attacks. However, while he was attacking, Gracius would dodge the attacks with ease by moving his body at the right and at the left with ease and sometimes at the sides. "Kami-E." he said while dodging the attacks and Lappy started increasing the speed and the strength of his punches in order to try and strike him. But, no matter how much hard he tried, his attack would prove to not affect Gracius at all. For some time, the creature was attacking and attacking and attacking... And in the end, after a while, a punch finally managed to land on the man's face. Lappy smiled when the punch reached the man's face and he was about to start a new barrage of fist attacks. However, a few seconds later he would change his mind. Not only the man was not affected, but he looked like he was not afraid of Lappy anymore. "Tekkai." he said and Lappy stepped back. That guy was a monster!

"GRRRRRRRRRRRR!" Lappy groaned at the view of the man. That was the first chance he had to prove himself and that man was actually so strong that he could not do anything at all. He was humiliating him in front of Wako and that was something that Lappy could never, never forget. Lappy did not want to rely on Wako to win his battle, but it looked like he would have to if he wanted to win.

However, even if all those things were going on, something else was about to take place. While Lappy was standing back near Wako, Gracius raised his hammer. He said "It looks like you are no match for me... But I cannot risk it to have the battle here because you might escape." and he struck the ground of the tunnel with incredible strength, causing it to break. The ground around Wako and Lappy, as well as Gracius was trembling and the three of them would fall on a tunnel below them.

"AAAAAAAH?" Lappy was surprised while they were falling into a deeper tunnel. Falling again? Now that was something he did not expect. "Get ready Dusk Pirates... As soon as we land, you are doomed to die." Gracius said while the three were falling to the new tunnel. But, that would not be the only surprise... Some time later, the three finally fell on the new tunnel and they were not alone. They fell in front of two men. One of them was a member of the Black Cross Pirates while the identity of the other man was... unknown.

Unknown (With Maes, Lappy, Wako and Gracius)

"Hm?" the mysterious man said and turned his head towards Maes. "How did the trash end up here? Is this the garbage storage room of the Dusk Pirates?".

The setting was set. Lappy, Wako, Maes and the mysterious man were in front of Gracius of the Unknown Pirates! Who would emerge victorious from that battle?

Maximillion (With Ellen and Manta)

Meanwhile, Maximillion was stepping inside the tunnels with Ellen and Manta on his back for quite a while. He was taking care of his injured shipwright and his brother while also searching for Wormus to take him on. "Where are you, you little worm?" he said while walking. "I am going to find you and squash you for humiliating me, you m#@$@#$@#$@%!" he continued saying, obviously angry with Wormus.

"Olalala... Are you angry with the boss?" a female voice was heard from behind Maximillion. The captain of the Dusk Pirates turned his head towards the direction where the voice came from and he took a look at her. She was a beautiful woman. She had long red hair that were reaching her butt, red eyes, white colored skin and slim characteristics. She wore a sleeveless purple shirt that was short enough to reveal her thin belly and a very short red skirt that was barely hiding her underwear. She also wore dark red high shoes. Even Maximillion had no words to say. "Why are you not talking, cute boy? Did your tongue get stuck because I heard you swearing? Come on... Overcome that feeling.".


"Who is that slut, brother?" Manta's voice was heard afterwards. Apparently, Manta woke up although it was pretty obvious that he was unable to move, at least for the moment. "Oh man... I cannot feel my body... That worm completely crushed me... He is too powerful..." Manta said afterwards, before being interrupted by Maximillion.

"Shut up, Manta. I do not give you permission to call this beautiful lady a slut." Maximillion said to his brother. WHAT WAS GOING ON HERE?!

Seeing Cargoan right in front of him, Frank smiled widely. After all, this meant the end of his boredom. But after hearing the man speak, Frank's face returned to their regular raging frown. "You were waiting for ME?!" He exploded, holding his right thumb against his chest for emphasis, "You were the chicken who ran from our fight you.... you... CHICKEN!" He shouted, his echo booming through the tunnels, carrying his stupidity along with it.

With his anger scaring away any other insult from his mind, Frank pounded his fists against each other, his empty eyes looking for the most painful way to punish Cargoan for his shameless retreats, but before he could open the fight, another figure jumped into the scene. Frank moved his gaze from Cargoan to the new freak of the tunnels, who assumed what appeared to be a fighting stance. "BUAHAHAHAHAHAHA! The chicken got back up! Well, the more the bloodier!" Frank laughed. "You both are going to see what the Vice Captain of the Dusk Pirates can do, only this time, there will be no escape..." He said, cracking his limbs in recuperation for the fight.

Cargoan (With Frank and Richard)

Cargoan looked at Frank with a serious look on his face. The man who looked like a gargoyle paid attention to every single word that the vice captain of the dusk pirates was speaking from his mouth. That guy... He was quite offensive. He was calling Cargoan a chicken while in fact, he was not. "I am going to prove you this time that I am not a chicken... Vice captain of the Dusk Pirates. However, judging from that idiot clown you have in your crew and that other guy with the scythe, it looks like the chicken is somebody else... Your crew is full of chickens... And judging by the fact that you have control over them, I can form an idea about you, as well." Cargoan replied to Frank and then turned his head towards Richard. That guy appeared out of nowhere, like Frank, and Frank thought that he was an ally of his... What an idiot.

"Not to mention that you are pathetic..." Cargoan continued saying to Frank. "Do you really believe I would need assistance from others and especially from a disgusting fishman? THIS IS HILARIOUS!" he completed and he laughed out loud. Then, he raised his right hand and pointed towards Frank with his fist clenched. "Now, bring it on." he finished.

Maximillion (With Manta, Ellen and Freya)

"Huh? Are you calling a woman beautiful, Max?! No way!" Manta said with a shocked face to his older brother.
"STOP CALLING ME MAX!" Maximillion yelled at him and dropped him on the ground and kicked him away. "I am your captain."
"Sorry..." Manta said with a sad look on his face and got up slowly. "I forgot that...".

The relationship between the two was quite strange. Even if both of them were completely crazy and evil, in their own ways, they were actually behaving to each other like real brothers most of the times. Maximillion was caring for his younger brother and Manta would always listen to him, even if he knew that his brother was a big, big egoist.

"What are you look for, beautiful lady?" Maximillion questioned the woman afterwards.

"If it's a fight you want...It's a fight you'll get." Richard said as he got out a bottle of water.

He poured the liquid over one hand, he brought his other hand under the wet one and began to form some kind of ball. When the ball was completely sphere. He pushed it towards the person in front of him.

"Uōtākyanonbōru" he muttered as the ball charged towards Frank. It began to harden.

The moment it would make contact with Frank is the moment that it will become a solid.

After hearing Cargoan's words, Frank's expression snapped. His rage reached a new peak, veins began popping in his forehead even though nothing was flowing in them anymore, his shoes almost ripped as his toes curled. "HOW DARE YOU COMPARE ME TO THAT CLOWN?!!!" Frank roared, making the entire tunnels shake with his voice. The ground beneath his feet cracked as he stormed towards Cargoan with speeds that he never displayed before. As he did, he yanked his left arm out of its socket, swinging it behind him with his right as if it was a bat. Each of his steps blasted a deep footprint into the rocky floor of the tunnel, blowing dust into every possible direction.

"YOU'RE DEAD! ZOMBIE BAT!" Frank erupted as he reached Cargoan in an instant, adding the momentum of his rush to the mighty swing of his bat-like detached arm to form a monstrous attack aimed at Cargoan's midsection. With his metal-denting and rock-crushing strength, the attack was something best to be avoided. But, even though He was about to unleash such a devastating blow, he was also being attacked from the exact opposite direction, by a simple water ball. Seeing as there was no room to avoid the incoming attack, Frank had to intercept it.

With microseconds to think it over, Frank couldn't guess how powerful the water ball might be, and simply raised one of his legs to try and kick it away. Frank was more than capable of shattering boulders with his kicks, making the water ball a minor threat, but he was surprised to meet the force of the ball once it hit his leg. "Well Well Well, I guess this is going to be interesting..." Frank hissed.

Cargoan was prepared to block the attack of Frank while he was charging towards him and was using his zombie bat technique. That technique was indeed a very powerful technique and it was nothing compared to the techniques that the likes of Wako and Manta used. However, before he actually blocked the attack, something he did not expect happened. The fishman was attacking Frank, much to his own surprise. Seeing the water ball attack hitting Frank, Cargoan grinned and he raised his leg in order to block the zombie bat technique. His super endurant leg hit the arm of Frank and while that happened Cargoan used his Devil Fruit ability to make his leg harder and receive much less damage. A very loud sound echoed through the tunnel and Cargoan leaped back afterwards.

"I would have dodged that thing if that water ball did not hit you... That pest is messing with our fight and I want a fair fight between us..." Cargoan explained why he did not dodge the attack and then he started running towards Richard, ignorning Frank who was in front of him. He reached him in seconds and look at him with a murderous intent on his face. "Get lost." he said and he attempted to punch Richard at the stomach with a super human punch that was further enhanced with the powers of the Kachi Kachi no Mi and was much stronger than that. That was a deadly attack that would cause great damage.

"O-Oi!" Richard yelled as he smashed his feet onto the ground causing a shield made out of water to appear before him. It quickly began to harden.

Richard was surprised, it was a 2 against 1. He clenched his fist, he was gonna show them the true essence of Fishman Karate. He took a stance, he was prepared to take on any attack that they would through towards him. He brought back his fist, he was gonna throw a very hard punch towards them.

Cargoan vs Richard vs Frank

"This is going to be pointless against me... Your shield might be hard enough to buy some time for you and endure some of the damage, but it still is made of water... And heat turns water into nothing more than steam." Cargoan said while his punch reached the shield of water that Richard created in order to protect himself from the incoming attack. The grey hand of Cargoan started changing in color and it took a gold color. It was extremely hot and the shield was becoming steam. The punch kept moving towards the fishman and now not only it would cause great damage, but it would also cause a burn if it hit.

"Meteor Punch!" Cargoan yelled as the punch pierced through the shield and was about to hit the fishman. What would the fishman do? How would he endure the attack? Things were quite tense and Cargoan was proving himself to be something more than a capable opponent! Who would emerge victorious from this battle?

Maximillion (With Ellen, Manta and Freya)

Maximillion was waiting for the answer of Freya. He wanted to know what she was looking for and he expected an answer from her. However, she would not say a thing. Instead, she started walking towards Maximillion with a seductive look on her face, as if she was about to seduce him. She walked with grace and elegance towards him and touched his chin. "I am looking for a handsome guy... And I believe I just found him." she said and Maximillion smiled, while Manta who was looking at the scene twitched. What was Freya planning and why was Maximillion behaving like that?

Richard watched as his shield suddenly dissparead , he clutched his fist, a vain popped out of his forehead.

"Damn it! My Turn!" Richard yelled as the punch came flying towards him.

Richard quickly pushed his Fist with great power towards the attack.

"Hyakumaigawara Seiken (Hundred Brick Fist)!" he yelled as the two fists clashed. The tunnel floor suddenly began to rumble. Richard pushed the fist with all of his fishman strength. What will happen now?

The two fists collided with each other and a very loud noise was heard upon the impact. The force of the punches between the two physical fighters was something more than great and Cargoan smiled. "You are doing better than I expected, fish." he commented and he pushed the punch. Even if the two fists were colliding with each other, Cargoan looked like he was unaffected. The powerful punch of the fishman was strong enough to protect him from receiving great damage from the attack of the gargoyle looking pirate but Cargoan would not actually feel anything from the punch. That was a proof about his great strength that led him to become the commander of the 11th Division of the Unknown Pirates.

Afterwards, while he and Richard were clashing. At the time they were clashing their fists, he pulled back his fist and he attempted to perform a swift kick at Richard's chest that would sent him flying several meters away. "This brings back memories..." Cargoan said while doing so and some images came to his mind.

[Flashback 1]

A little child is playing at the beach of an island. The child looks like a regular human and he is building a castle out of sand. Near him, there is an older girl, a girl with long grey hair and white colored eyes. She is taking care of him and looks like she really loves him. She moves towards him and pets the child on the head from behind with a smile on her face.

As soon as that happens, the child turns his head and takes a look at the girl. He stops making the sand castle and he smiles at the girl. "Hey, sis. What's going on?" he says and he gets up. His voice is similar to that of Cargoan. Is that boy really Cargoan?

[Flashback 1 ends]

As soon as the man brought back his fist, Richard done the same, however just as Richard done this a kick cam flying towards him, Richard jumped backwards however the kick still managed to make contact with him. Richard stumbled backwards, he began to pant. This man..something was off with him.
Richard took another stance.

"Your tougher than I expected,Gargoyle-San..." Richard said.

His eyes fixed on the weird looking man, there had to be a weakness, there just had to be. Richard began to search his brain for an answer. What will happen now? Will Richard find a solution in time?

"Too bad I cannot say the same for you, too. You are stronger than a regular fishman but I doubt that you are stronger than that zombie over there." Cargoan commented to the fishman, who was panting after he received the kick at the chest. "You see, there are only a few people in the New World capable of keeping up with me... And that guy might be one of them. I like those kinds of people... However, people like you are something I detest. You are just an obstacle to my enjoyment and that is something I cannot really forgive. Get lost." Cargoan continued saying and he moved both his fists forward. "Meteor Strike!" he said as he unleashed a barrage of fist attacks that were enhanced with the power of his Kachi Kachi no Mi and were extremely hard and hot enough to cause burns at the body parts of Richard which they would hit.

"Kakakakakakakakakakakakaka!" Cargoan was yelling while he was launching one punch after another towards the pirate. How would the clash between the two end?

Richard stared at the man as he came towards him. He quickly clutched his fist getting his last bottle of water, he opened it and poured it over his hand. He brought his fist back and stared at the person.

"You are blind, your power covers your eyes preventing you to see the true world." Richard said as he pushed his fist forward.

"Gyojin Karate Ogi: Buraikan (Fishman Karate Ultimate Technique: Mighty Reliant Piercing)!" Richard yelled as he sent a shock wave charging towards the person. How will this end?

Cargoan vs Frank vs Richard

"It seems that you are the blind one... THIS FIGHT WAS A MISTAKE FOR YOU! YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE INTERFERED... JUST LIKE HER!" Cargoan spoke some weird words to Richard as he launched a shockwave towards him. While the shockwave moved towards him, he started explaining "You made a mistake... I am not a racist towards fishmen, if you think of that. I just see them as an inferior species... And do you know why? Because my fruit allows me to do more than hardening my body, it allows me to increase its heat tremendously... And by using it, I negate all their attacks... See for yourself.".

At the moment he completed his words, Cargoan revealed his fruit ability at its full extend. His body started heating up and it changed its color. His whole body became yellow because of the increased heat and it kept changing its color. "Golden Cargoyle." Cargoan said and his body took a gold color because of the heat increase in his body. The gargoyle looking human was now looking like a gargoyle that was made from pure gold. "Take a look... My hot body will make the air dry and your water based technique will become nothing more than a powerless shockwave!" Cargoan said and he looked at the shockwave coming towards him.

However, even if Cargoan used his technique, something unexpected happened. Unlike what Cargoan believed, the Fishman Karate of Richard was great and so the technique was tougher than he expected. The technique's power was not reduced to nothing completely and it hit Cargoan, sending him a few meters behind with himself standing on his feet. "Huh?" Cargoan said while coughing blood from his mouth, which was immediately dried because of the heat.

[Flashback 2]

At the same beach that the little boy was seen before with his sister, the same boy, who looks older than before, is having a spar with his sister. The two of them are having a fight. While the boy seems to be giving everything he has at the battle, the girl is effortlessly dodging her attacks and she is not laying a finger at the boy. Sweat comes out from the body of the boy, who is giving everything he has. He is performing several fast punches at the right and at the left of his older sister, who is moving her body to the opposite directions to avoid them.

"Ka! Ka! Ka! Ka! Ka! Ka!" the boy is saying while performing the punches and the girl is smiling.
"Is that all you've got, brother? Come on! I am not training you to be that weak!" the girl is commenting and the face expression of the boy is changing. At the time he she is saying that, he clenches his fist stronger than before and he performs a swift punch at the stomach of the girl, which sends her flying several meters away. The girl falls on the ground while keeping that smile on her face.
"Did you say something?" the boy said and he smiled with an innocent looking smile to his sister.
"No... Cargoan." his sister commented.

[Flashback 2 Ends]

Richard had just managed to actually damage Cargoan with his last technique! The battle was becoming greater and greater! Who would emerge victorious?

"Damn it..he's still standing...that was my last bottle of water..." Richard thought as he began to take another stance. He stared at the gargoyle looking human. He couldn't believe it, the man was still standing. He smiled.

"Haha~ Looks like this isn't gonna be easy." Richard said to the man, clutching his fist.

Richard charged towards him, he was gonna give him his strongest punch. However he had to be careful for the man can heat his body, Richard pushed his fist towards the man's chest.

"Thousand Brick Fist!"

As Richard was about to perform his punch, Cargoan took an extremely serious look on his face. The temperature of his body started increasing again, reaching extreme levels, just like it happened with his temperature when he battled with Wako and the battle resulted at having Wako with broken and burnt body parts. As he increased his temperature, the ground from below him started melting and it was pretty obvious that if the punch reached him, not only it would cause him minimal damage because he was very endurant, but would also burn the fist of the fishman in an instant. "Come over here, I am waiting for you!" Cargoan said and he waited for the fishman to perform his punching attack and incinirate him completely.

"Darn it!" Richard yelled as he quickly pulled back his fist, if he had touched the person he would've of became dead fish. Richard quickly jumped backwards, there had to be some kind of way to beat this guy without getting burned. He began to sweat a little. It looked like the heat was getting to him, Richard removed his hat and took off his robe. He chucked them somewhere behind him. Richard began to scan the area however suddenly he realized that if the person continued like this he would eventually fall to the ground. Richard cut himself a little and dipped his finger into the blood. He then flicked his hand and let the blood droplets charge towards the man.

"Blood Shot."

"This is useless!!! Completely useless!!!!!" Cargoan laughed as the droplets of blood came towards him with great force. As they moved towards him, the heat caused them to become nothing more than air and Cargoan was undamaged from the attack. "You can cut yourself however you want... There is no way you can win against me! A fishman has no potential against my powers!!! No matter how much strong you are, you cannot even touch me anymore!!!!!" Cargoan yelled at Richard and he took a battling stance. "I am going to finish this immediately!" he said and he clenched his fist, as if he was about to perform a powerful attack. What was Cargoan planning to do?

"Hmm..." Richard send as the droplets of blood began to suddenly vanish.

Richard the began slowly step backwards, he had some sort of plan. He turned and began to run, he was obviously gonna flee from the battle but if he stayed here any longer he would die. Richard was planning on trying to ware out the man, he would eventually cool down and once he does that Richard would hit him with his hardest punch. Richard while running began to wipe the sweat off his face, he stored it in his bottle. It would come handy in a few minutes. This man was almost invincible. What did Richard have in mind? Could it work? He stood and waited for the man in another tunnel.

Sabres vs Quatrum
"Durable division .. ?" Sabres asks, but to himself, as he actually gets distracted and gets Quatrum's punch head on. Crashing onto the wall, that is already filled with holes from all those punching around, Sabres gets up, seemingly unfazed and rubs his mouth with his thumb, grinning. "So, that makes you .. a boxing bag ? Good, I'm in the mood for some fist spam .. !!"

Suigo
Suigo doesn't speak, and as soon as the two attacks explode and disperse into "dust", he uses soru to quickly maneuver himself around the dust, and reaches Sogun from the left. He is leaning downwards, and is holding his sheathed sword next to his hip. He swiftly pulls the sword and attempts a forward stabbing move on Sogun's adbomen.

OOC: AAAH, finally back ! Guys, a swift summary of what I missed ?

Sogun vs Suigo

Even if Suigo's movements were superhuman, Sogun could keep up with them. Apparently, he was one of the best swordsmen in the forces of the Unknown Pirates and he was about to prove that he did not receive his bounty for nothing. As the black katana of Suigo was about to pierce his abdomen, Sogun moved his sword horizontally and blocked the piercing attack, causing the two swords to collide with each other and make a very ecophantic sound which could be heard even in nearby tunnels. The two sword beasts had just started their battle and things looked like they were going to go all-out! Who would emerge victorious from the battle?

Maha (With Sogun and Suigo)

Meanwhile, Maha was standing around and looked at the battle of Suigo with Sogun. He wanted to see if there were some interesting skills which he could start practicing for himself. For the time, he was just using his Echo Walk to keep up with the speed of the fight and also in order to master it, as it was a technique which he recently learned.

Quatrum vs Sabres

"You can call me a punching bag if you like... But in little to no time, you will see that I am something more like that! I am something upgraded..." Quatrum commented and he looked at the side effects of his punch. A few cracks were created at the face of Sabres because of the punch. It was not because of the strength of the attack but from something else... Could Quatrum be a Devil Fruit user, as well? Things would be explained soon.

Quatrum vs Sabres
Sabres then realizes that, oddly enough, his skin appears to be literally cracking, as if it's rock or somethin, around his cheek and close to his eye. He takes a more serious, and obviously irritated expression, his large tusk teeth making him look truly terrifying. "You ugly blob, what did you do to me ?.."

Suigo vs Sogun
Suigo looks at Sogun, and slightly smirks. It's the smirk of the warrior that just met another true warrior. It's experiences like these, that true men seek. Suigo slightly moves his upper body backwards, still with his sword against Sogun's, and then does something he never did before.
"Red Dragon .." he swings his sword a full 360 degress, and sents a spiral, red energy wave, that goes on like a tornado. A dragon-shaped "head" is also formed at the edge. But the thing is, for the first time, Suigo actually used a "named" attack. Could this possibly mean that it was this the first time he fights with an enemy he deems worthy to fight "100%" ? Time would tell !
