(Third Person POV)
[The New World, Some Weeks Later]
"To Elbaf it is." I said as I sat down on a chair, on the deck of the new ship, "I hope you can convince Harald to join us so we don't waste our time there."
Xebec merely smirked at me, "Even if we don't manage to convince him, there could be plenty of worthy things in Elbaf."
"Hm, if you say so." I said as Stussy was walking towards me
"Fufu~" She said as she sat on my lap, "Don't worry, lover. I am sure our time won't be wasted. If it comes to it, we might steal some Elbafian treasure~"
"That'll just complicate things for Rocks." I said, "Harald is still the King of Elbaf. We don't want the whole nation of Giants to be on our asses."
Xebec was scowling at us, "What's with you two?" He asked, "All lovey dovey? You never stop fucking making all that racket at night."
"It's getting fucking annoying....." I heard Shiki mutter in the distance
"Relax, Rocks. Or are you jealous that I've chosen Mikael to be my boy-toy?" She said
"Jealous of that?" He rolled his eyes, "He better be careful with you, otherwise trouble will come...."
I sighed, "I can't catch a break these days."
She squeezed my cheek, "Shut up." she said with a scowl, "You speak like spending time with me is a hassle. You love being in my bed, you stupid buffoon."
"I didn't say anything!" I groaned, "Leave me alone!"
"No!" She scowled, "You will love me thoroughly, Mikael."
"Are we even together?" I asked with a scowl, "All we do is fu-"
"Shut up!!!" Shiki and Rocks shouted in annoyance
"Oi." I heard Marlon call out from the lookout tower, "We have trouble, it seems."
I looked up, "What is it, Don?"
"Navy Warships in the distance." He said, holding his eye to some binoculars, "Three of them."
"Three?" Xebec said, "Do you see the sails? Who's commandeering them?"
"Can't make out the sails." Marlon said, "But they're making their way straight to us."
"Oh my." Stussy said, "Trouble already? We haven't even reached Elbaf yet."
I stood up, pushing her off me, "We should prepare for battle."
"Hey....!" She exclaimed, smacking me on the arm, "Don't do that."
I looked at Shiki, "Hey, when they close to us, send some cannonballs at them at irregular angles." I said, "That way, they'll get be distracted by-"
"Shut the fuck up, you punk ass bitch!!" He scowled, "I don't take orders from you!!"
"Listen to him." Xebec said as he drew his sword, "Oi Ganzui!!!"
"What?" Ganzui answered, a bored tone in his voice
"Steer us right at those fuckers!!" Rocks shouted, "We're going to hit them head-on!!"
"Alright." Ganzui said, "Let's get some excitement in this day."
Rocks laughed maniacally, "Let's fucking do this!!"
************
"Damn you all to hell, Rocks!!!" the Rear-Admiral gritted his teeth as we both stood in front of them, the deck of his ship was set ablaze, "You don't know what you're getting yourself into!! You make an enemy of the World Government, and you'll die eventually."
"Is that so?" Xebec said, "Well, if you punks are the ones fighting on their behalf, I figure I'd be fine!"
We had finished the battle, having gone straight at the group of ships and attacked them. Shiki and Newgate casually attacked one ship, immediately sank it while Ganzui bombarded the other one with his ability. It was quite an easy task, going to the third one and wrecking the place. I saw as hundreds of marines jumped overboard, trying to escape the destruction.
I looked at the Rear-Admiral, "Shut up." I said, kicking him on the side of the head and sending him flying to the wall, "Dumbass."
The Rear-Admiral, who was casually defeated by Xebec with no issue whatsoever, hit his head hard and went out cold.
"Vohahaha!" Xebec laughed, "You-"
He was cut off by the sound of a gunshot. I turned to see that he had dodged a bullet that flew past him and hit the wall.
I saw a marine officer standing at the front of the deck, flames and smoke surrounding us. He had long black hair, and grey eyes. He had blood running down the side of his face, a serious scowl on his face.
"You filthy scum." He said, "You will regret doing this!!"
"Oh?" Xebec said, "Look at this one."
I stepped forward, "I'll handle him."
"You got this?" He asked me, "I can hit him hard, he doesn't seem too hard."
"You had your fun." I said as I walked towards the lone officer, "My turn now."
"Not like you didn't cause this fire." He muttered
As I approached the officer, I saw that he was holding a knife on his left hand, keeping it at an angle so that I wouldn't notice. But I did notice, I noticed almost right away.
He pulled the trigger, firing multiple shots at me, and I simply dodged them, deflecting one of them with my armament-coated arm.
I then lunged at him, hitting him once in the stomach. He took the blow and swung his knife at my face, which I dodged by stepping back. I then followed up with a kick to the face but he dodged as well, aiming and firing at me.
I sidestepped and then hit him with a shoulder tackle, hitting him hard, but I was nearly hit by his knife, which was also coated in armament haki.
"Hm...." I said, "So you're a haki user."
"Of course." He said, "I was one of the few taught by Vice-Admiral Garp."
I raised an eyebrow, "Garp, you said?" I said as I reared my right fist back, "Is that so?"
He nodded, "Yea." He said, "I won't lose to you."
I chuckled as my arm began to glow slightly, heat emanating from it, "Shame." I said, "Tell me, would Garp be proud of this?"
"Huh?" He said as I rushed at him with blinding spead
"Superheat: Right Straight"
I hit him hard in the chest, a massive shockwave erupted from his body as his clothes were scorch, his eyes went white as he flew out towards the sea almost immediately.
"Vohahaha!!" Xebec laughed, "Now that was good!!"
I straightened up, feeling my arm cool down, "Yea...." I said,
"I guess it was."
