... At the same time...
It had been a while since Daz waited for more crew members to visit the city. He had lost in Joz's game 'Rock, Paper, Scissors,' which he had made with the other executives of the group. Joz had made sure that there was always a frame on the ship to protect it. Joz wanted him to have either Marcus or Daz on the boat. At the same time, Robin reports as much information as possible (if necessary) to avoid potential conflicts.
Why avoid conflicts? Because we are on GrandLine, and the navy was much more active and influential than on West Blue.
Considering how Aokiji, Garp, Smoker, Fujitora, etc ... did as they wished on this sea, Joz was careful not to find himself in the same situation as Luffy.
...
Daz, who was playing a card game with Lilo, noticed with amazement that a crowd of armed people and a man at his lead were advancing in their direction.
'What is going on?' thought Daz.
"Daz! Look, look, people are coming in our direction," cried Lilo pointing at the crowd of people.
"I know, I see it," Daz replied, standing up.
"Do you know why they are coming towards us?" she asked again with curiosity.
"How do you want me to know that ?!" he replied without looking away.
Daz noticed that the man at the head was about 10 feet tall and was in a suit. He had a beard but no hair. If Joz had been there, he would have recognized this man very quickly because he was the boss of the snail store in addition to being Kevus, Kand's right-hand man.
Kevus, who saw Joz's crew on the ship's deck, stopped a few feet from the boat, looked Daz straight in the eye, and said, "Hello! I'm here to collect the snail money for you. "
Pouis, who was on the ship, went to get a bag full of gold and threw it at Kevus' feet: "I hope the payment in gold suits you?"
"Hahaha, no problem, gold is easier to handle than money," he replied, gesturing for one of his men to take the bag.
"Why did you come so many, if it's just to collect the money?" Daz asked coldly.
"To take more than your money, BOY!" Kevus replied while slowly transforming into a wild beast.
"Looks like you ate some devil fruit too," Daz said with a slight smile.
"Yes, the bear fruit, one of the best zoan" he replied, jumping on Daz, who had the height over him.
"The best zoan? -"
And without wasting any more time, Daz gave Kevus a big kick which sent him waltzing on his men.
"Pouis I'll let you take care of the henchmen. I'll take care of the bear," Daz said, rushing towards Kevus again.
"Alright, Daz! Here we go, guys," Pouis replied, picking up his giant ax, which was lying next to him.
Pouis was an ax wielder who, like Marcus, had found his fighting style alongside Joz, but unlike Marcus, he didn't have as much talent. But that didn't stop him from training hard. After Daz, he was the one who trained the most. He wanted to be someone essential in the crew and knew that he need to train more.
...
"Tsk, don't think your lousy fruit will beat mine," Kevus said as he stood up. He was in hybrid form and therefore was in his most potent form.
Daz, who saw this turned his whole body into a blade and tried to cut Kevus, but unfortunately, Kevus' thick fur was protecting him.
"I told you, my fruit allows me a great defense," said Kevus giving a massive punch on Daz, who easily parried him by taking a few steps back.
"Yes, but is your resistance up to mine ?!" replied Daz, who lunged at Kevus.
STORM BLADE
ANGRY PAW
BOOOOOM BOOOOOOOM BOOOOOOM
With the clash, the ground fractured, which sent waltzes to all the surrounding people. Pouis, sitting on a small mountain of k.o man watched the fight with passion. He hadn't had the chance to see the battles in the arena and see the mythical 'Jesus' star of the Colosseum in action. So seeing this fight would help him gain more experience in fighting great fighters.
"GO, DAZ! GO DAZ!" Lilo cried, seeing that neither Daz nor Kevus had the advantage.
"Looks like you're stronger than expected," Kevus said, stepping back.
Daz didn't answer and got into a particular position.
"What do you do?" asked Kevus, who turned into a Giant Bear.
"TAKE MY STRONGEST ATTACK: RUSHING DEATH "Kevus shouted, rushing straight at DAZ like a ferocious beast.
"BLADE FLOWS" Daz shouted, slashing Kevus, who was within reach.
SLASH BAM BOOOM CRACK
