(Third Person POV)
Having docked at a random deserted island, Rocks and his group were taking a break. They had clashed with multiple pirate crews on the way, and because of Mikael activating one of his techniques, they wanted to clean the deck and air out the ship, freeing it from the sulfuric stench.
They were at the beach, simply waiting as they ate. Stussy was sitting on Mikael's lap as she ate from a bowl, Mikael's arm gently wrapped around her waist.
"You should quit doing all that." Stussy said with a scowl, "The whole ship will reek of sulfur!"
Mikael frowned, "I can't help it..." He said, "It's part of my powers."
"You're lucky you are a good fuck, otherwise I would have ditched you." Stussy said with a scoff, "Your powers are great, yes, but the stench is unbearable."
"Vohahahaha!" Rocks laughed as he sat on a crate, "It's all the damn gunpowder he's been eating. It's making his oil and flames more potent but at the price of being far more pungent, vohahahaha!"
"It's a bit overwhelming, yes." Newgate said, "But with some scrubbing, it goes away."
"Yea, well the whole damn ship needs scrubbing!!" Shiki exclaimed, "Oi, Mikael! Ya best find a personal cleaner or something, to clean up after your shit!"
Mikael scowled, "Mind your damn business!"
"It's all our business!!" Shiki said as he pointed at him, "You're stinking up the whole damn ship with your bullshit!!"
"Alright, alright." Rocks said with a chuckle, "Mikael, try not to go in your dragon form. You can use your haki and your Superheat ability, whatever it is called. Don't use your oil while we are on the ship, Vohahaha!"
Mikael rolled his eyes, "Whatever."
"Yes, that's a good idea." Stussy said, "That way, we are free of your sulfuric stench."
"Yea, yea." Mikael said, "How close are we to Elbaf, Xebec?"
"Not too far." Xebec said, "But we'll get there soon. Best be prepared though! We're going to enter the Land of The Giants! They're strong fuckers, the Elbafians!!"
"So I've heard." Newgate said, "I'll be on guard."
"Vohahaha!" Xebec said, "Harald is the strongest, I'm telling ya! He's able to clash equally with me, that one! He's no doubt stronger than all of you individually."
"I'll be the judge of that." Newgate chewed on a piece of meat, "But you don't lie, so it could be true."
"He's a powerful Giant King, so I would expect he's very strong." Mikael said, "Stronger than Dorry and Broggy, the Captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates."
"You know of them?" Xebec asked
"Yea, who doesn't?" Mikael said, "Those two are very strong. I did hear through the winds of the sea that they were old friends with this Harald guy, but I am not sure if that's true. But even so, if he's stronger than the Giant Warrior Pirates, that's good enough reason to-..."
He narrowed his eyes, having noticed something.
"What is it?" Stussy asked him
Xebec also frowned, having noticed the same thing, "Tch..." He said, "We got company."
As he said this, Marlon, who was on lookout duty, had spoken up, "Took the words right out of my mouth, Rocks." He said, "We have a single Pirate Ship incoming."
Newgate frowned, "Just one?" He asked, "Who is it?"
They all stood up and looked over to the waters, seeing that there was a ship that was making its way towards them, not too far from the coast.
"If I am not mistaken by the flag..." Marlon said, "It's that damned fool, Roger."
Mikael widened his eyes, "Roger?!" He exclaimed, "The Roger Pirates?!"
Stussy sighed, "Roger, huh?"
"If Roger is here...." Newgate narrowed his eyes, "That must mean...."
Shiki scowled as he clenched his fists, "The Marines won't be too far behind!!" He shouted, "Garp is going to follow!!"
Rocks smirked at this, "Vohahaha! Now this is exciting!" He said, "Marlon, Ganzui! Get on the ship and guard it! Mikael stay here! Newgate, push the fools towards Mikael and have him burn them!"
Mikael looked at him, "We're fighting?" He said, "We're fighting the Roger Pirates?!"
"Yer damn right!!" Xebec said with a smirk
"I'm not taking part of this." Stussy said as she began to run away, "I don't have the patience to get into a brawl with idiots."
"Vohahaha!" Xebec said, "Suit yerself, but make sure to come back when we're finished!"
As Roger's ship got closer, they felt a massive burst of Conqueror's Haki that hit them all. They were all unfazed, save for Mikael, who was wincing slightly. Marlon and Ganzui had boarded the ship again and were aiming at the ship, getting ready for an opportunity to fire.
"That fool!" Shiki drew his swords, "He thinks his Haki is enough for us?!"
The ship was near the coast when a figure launched into the air, a loud laugh being heard.
"Wahahahaha!!!" A man with a straw hat was seen descending down, holding his sword in his hand, "Lookie what we have here!! Bet you have some good loot, Rocks!!!"
"Roger!!!" Xebec said with a smirk, "You dare challenge me?!"
Rocks drew his blade and launched up, charging up his advanced conqueror's as he reared it back, black and red lightning emitting from it. Roger did the same, a smirk on his face.
"Uh-Oh." Shiki said
The two of them swung their blades at each other, a massive explosion of Conqueror's Haki erupted, shaking the air, land, and sea itself. The ships were nearly tipped over as the massive explosion resulted in a bright white light, causing everyone to close their eyes as they were blinded by it.
Mikael was covering his eyes, "Dammit!" He said, "Fucking monsters....!!"
As the explosion subsided, Rocks landed on the sand and laughed, "Vohahahaha!" he said, "You got stronger, Roger!"
Roger landed several dozen feet away, smirking, "Did I?" He said, "What do we have here, Rocks? You build your crew some more? Wahahaha! Exciting!!"
Several other figures launched from Roger's ship, landing on the sand.
"Oi, Roger!" Rayleigh said with a scowl, "Quit doing that!!"
"Dammit, is that Edward Newgate?" Gaban said as he drew his axes, "Heard he was pretty strong."
"Hey, Rocks!" Mikael called out, "Are we fighting?"
"Yea." Xebec smirked
"Alright." Mikael nodded
Xebec, Shiki, and Newgate all moved out of the way as a massive shadow emerged, replacing Mikael. The Roger Pirates, who were barely mobilizing on the beach, looked at this with confusion.
"What's this?" Roger raised his eyebrow, "Who was that guy? Whoaaa!!! What the fuck is that?!"
All of the Roger Pirates were looking at the towering form of Mikael's dragon form, feeling the tense heat coming from his seeping oil.
"A dragon?!" Gaban said, "It's massive!!"
"That's a zoan power." Rayleigh narrowed his eyes, "But a mythical one? Never seen it before."
Mikael lunged at Roger, swinging his right claws at him, swirling oil and flames engulfing them.
"Tarred Claws!!!"
Roger had raised his sword to block the attack, a massive shockwave erupting as Oil and Flames flew everywhere.
"Whoa!" Roger exclaimed as he was launched away, covered in burning tar, "Ahhh shit!!"
The Roger Pirates watched their captain hit the ground several hundred meters away, a powerful explosion of oil and flames erupting.
"Captain!" one of them exclaimed
"Roger!" Gaban said, "Dammit, what is that thing?! Rocks got himself a monster???"
"Vohahaha!!" Rocks laughed, "Ya sure you want a fight with us, Roger Pirates?!"
"Meet my personal Monster!! Mikael!!"
