Far off in the distance in the largest ship of them sat a man the size of a mammoth and the looks of a bear in both face and body laughing as he watched everything unfold.
---------------------------------
His laughter continued for just a moment until he spotted a small dark cloud suddenly appearing over the town. With every second that passed, the cloud in the sky got bigger and bigger until it finally covered the whole village.
The man just stared at the massive dark cloud in confusion, not knowing what would unfold next.
The cloud in the sky started throwing lightning bolts around the city, but the lightning never hit any "innocent" people and only the pirates.
Next to the bear-man, a transponder snail started ringing annoyed he picked up to know what had transpired.
"Boss, we are getting attacked by monsters some giant eagle and a massive gladiator. The lightning bolts are only hitting our men. I don't know how but I think someone on the island is doing it."
"We found you, Little eagle."
Instead of getting angry or scared, the bear-man smiled with even more excitement than he had from watching the town getting attacked.
"Take a few men and search the town and find the golden eagle and report to me immediately, I know he's on the island and send the rest of our men to keep the monsters busy."
The man on the other side obeyed everything with no hesitation.
"The 5 of you follow me, and the rest of you distract and keep the monsters busy with any means possible use women and children as shields if you have to do, and the boss will reward you all handsomely.
The pirates got riled up and screamed while running towards the creatures with no fear on their faces, just pure greed.
"Now you 5 follow me and look out after this person" saying that he pulled out a piece of paper, and it was Alexander's wanted poster.
------------------
"Nojiko how did it go did you send everyone you could to the bunker?"
Nojiko nodded "The people in this area has been escorted to the bunker. So what are we supposed to do now there's still a lot of people left on the island."
"If we are lucky, Earth Eagle and everyone has distracted the pirates, and the people are far away."
Nojiko didn't want the people's life up to chance. She wished to help them just like she would have wanted them to do to her.
No one helped her village when they needed it, and It wasn't until eight years later someone finally did. Sadly, the damage had already happened, and they will spend a long time recovering from it.
Alexander didn't know what to do, so he gave in. He knew even after all this time she spent with him, Nojiko still holds some of her trauma from the events with Arlong.
So they continued to look for people in need of help, and they found lots of people in fear and helped them.
As they just had escorted the last batch from the upper district of the town
---------------
"Boss, it took a while, but we have finally found them, and they are at the upper district."
"Don't get spotted I just have something I need to take care of."
As the bear-man hung up, he looked excited yet again in a specific direction. In that direction, you could see Earth Eagle flying around close by.
He got up from his big chair and went towards the cannons on deck and activated his Haki and grabbed two whole cannons, and crushed them together into a ball.
He aimed towards Earth Eagle and threw it towards Earth Eagle.
Earth Eagle wasn't fast or far enough to be able to detect it before it hit him. So Earth Eagle crashed down towards the lower district.
He let out a loud bear roar as he laughed at what he had just done. While he had sent men to look for Alexander, he had taken the chance to bring his ships closer to shore.
So the bear-man jumped off the boat and started running towards where Earth Eagle had fallen. When he had arrived at the location, he couldn't see Earth Eagle nor sense it at all until the bear-man suddenly felt danger coming from above him, and he quickly dodged it.
Had he been just a second late, he would have probably lost his head. With Earth Eagle, just having attacked him, he now knew where it was and now just smiled.
He teleported behind Earth Eagle that was flying around him and clutched his hands together swung downward between its wings. Earth Eagle let out a small screech before falling to the ground again.
This time the bear-nan didn't stop there and dived down to Earth Eagle and started a barrage of punches. Every punch got stronger and intenser for every second as he got more and more into it.
Earth Eagle seemed to have gotten hurt as some blood came from its beak, but it still found an opportunity and bit down and sent a massive amount of vibration directly inside the bear-man.
The bear-man let out a roar from the attack and started hitting Earth Eagles hit trying to get it away from him, but Earth Eagle still wouldn't let go.
The bear-man could feel his internal organs start to feel like they would burst from all the pressure, and he couldn't help but vomit out blood.
"To think I would have to go all out against a freaking bird, haha." saying that the bear-man roars as he seemingly started growing in size and thick fur started to cover his body.
From his original size of a mammoth, he now had nearly doubled that. Earth Eagle's vice grip with its mouth started to listen as the bear-man's size grew.
The bear-man had now fully transformed into a prehistoric bear. The bear-man roared as he grabbed Earth Eagle by the head with his paws to remove him. From what was futile before was easy now as the strength he had now could easily remove Earth Eagle from him.
When he had finally removed Earth Eagle, he pushed it down to the ground. Earth Eagle tried to get away, but all its attempts did nothing as the bear-man was too strong.
The bear continued to slam its paws on Earth Eagle until he exhausted itself.
"Haha, see what can a stupid bird do without its keeper. But I have to hand it to you for being a bird you made me use my full devil fruit form, so the least I can give you is a quick death."
Earth Eagle released an earsplitting cry in defiance.
-----------------
Alexander suddenly heard a loud eagle cry, and he could feel Earth Eagles' pain and anger from its cry.
He quickly told Nojiko to look out while he instantly used his Eagle Eyes, as he felt something had happened. With it, he only saw two massive paws going towards Earth Eagle before everything went black.
Alexander suddenly felt an unimaginable amount of pain, it was as his heart was being ripped out of his chest, and he couldn't help but cry out loudly.
