Another Emperor Rises

Two weeks had passed since nojiko and bellmere boarded the ship. He immediately started training them to use hassoken and haki, nojiko was skilled with using a spear while bellmere was good at using a pistol. They hadn't grasped haki as yet but they had the foundation of hassoken, hancock was also giving nojiko special training since she was the weakest of the bunch.

They were currently on their way to totto land as they relaxed on board. Hancock was training nojiko and bellmere while the others were relaxing in their own way. Flare was on the deck where he sensed people approaching the ship.

Flare: "Girls we seem to have company."

Nutmeg: "How much?"

Flare: "Quite a lot, it seems to be the marines. You guys don't even have to come. I'll deal with this myself."

Flare turned into his phoenix form as he flew towards the ships that were headed in this direction. He looked down as he saw 3 navy ships on their way so he instantly flew down and landed on one of the ships. The men who were there saw him as they gasped as they knew they couldn't fight this man.

Marine #1: "T-The fire demon, call for backup!"

Flare: "Whoa chill, I just wanted to know who's leading you all."

???: "That would be me."

Flare turned around to see sengoku followed by kizaru and a blind old man, this was fujitora. They slowly walked down as they stood in front of flare.

Sengoku: "So it's you..... you disappeared from the world for a while."

Flare: "Well I wanted a crew so I gathered one."

Sengoku: "So why have you come to a navy ship? I would fight you but you seem too calm."

Flare: "I just came to see who was approaching my ship, I didn't expect to see the fleet admiral."

Sengoku: "Former fleet admiral, I resigned after the marineford war. Now since you're here I have to capture you."

Kizaru: "My, my..... you're still as scary as back then."

Fujitora: "This is the one who interrupted the war? He doesn't seem like a pirate."

Flare: "I didn't come to fight but if you wanna then bring it on."

Flare unleashed a massive wave of conquerors haki that instantly knocked out everyone below vice admiral level and even had the vice admirals kneeling down. His haki was so strong that it caused cracks to appear on the ships and even changed the weather. Sengoku and the other admirals were stunned as this level of haki was much more than what they felt the last time he used it in marineford.

Kizaru: "H-He is dangerous... maybe we should retreat for now."

Fujitora: "Fighting here would be a bad decision, the ships can't take the damage."

Sengoku: "You're almost like red hair, that overwhelming haki..... we will postpone this battle. Too much soldiers will die if we fight here."

Flare: "I honestly don't want to fight, gosh does the marines only know violence?"

Sengoku: "You joined a war and killed an admiral."

Flare: "You wanted to kill my cousin."

Sengoku: "I heard that the whitebeard pirates and their territories have fallen under your command.... this will only bring you more problems in the future."

Flare: "It doesn't matter, I'll be going back to my ship now. I hope that you stay away from my ship. I don't want to fight the navy right now, plus my crew would demolish you."

Sengoku: "New crew? We spotted boa hancock on your ship before you disappeared. We also got intel about someone named viola who joined your crew in dressrosa. But you surely must be joking about your crew if that's all the people you have on board."

Flare: "That was a year ago but if you still wanna test your luck then go ahead. I won't even join the fight to make it fair."

Kizaru: "You won't join... aren't you careless?"

Flare: "More like confident..... so if you attack then it won't be my responsibility."

Flare went into his phoenix form as he flew back to his ship as they watch him. They weren't sure of what to do until sengoku spoke up.

Sengoku: "If his crew is as strong as he says then it will be a difficult fight but I think we should still go ahead."

Kizaru: "Mhmm I think so as well. A warlord and some woman from dressrosa should be no problem."

Sengoku: "Alright men stay on course and prepare for battle."

As flare arrived back at his ship he landed and returned to his human form. He walked over to the girls who were talking to each other.

Flare: "Well it's the navy, I told them not to fight us but I think my ego nudged me a bit to taunt them."

Hancock: "What did you do?"

Flare: "I told them that I wouldn't fight and let my crew deal with them. They only know that hancock and viola are on the crew but thy don't know about the rest so you guys can use that to your advantage. They might think I'm just being cocky since there was a former fleet admiral and 2 admirals on board."

Esdeath: "I say we fight, I've been itching to fight these marines."

Hancock: "I actually agree with the sadist, I want to test myself in a real fight."

Everyone agreed to fight as flare watched on with a smile. The marines would never expect this but they would regret attacking. They waited for the marine warships to get closer and closer, soon the ships weren't too far away from them.

Kizaru jumped into the air and fired multiple light beams towards the ship but hancock jumped into the air as she released multiple heart shaped beams to counter his attack. Esdeath jumped out of the ship and landed in the sea but it froze as soon as she touched the water. The entire area soon froze over completely, stopping all the ships from moving.

Esdeath: "We don't need to run..... they will be the ones running."

Everyone on the marine ships were shocked as this was similar to aokiji's ice-ice fruit. Sengoku and fujitora wasted no time as they jumped onto the ice and stood by kizaru along with 2 vice admirals and many marines. There was at least 3000 marines in total but none of the girls felt afraid, the only girls that didn't participate were nojiko and bellmere since they were still under training. They girls jumped off the ship and all walked forward and stood beside esdeath and hancock on the ice.

Sengoku: "Mhmm, it seems that there were more of them than we thought. There's also 4 of big mom's daughters so either they defected from her army or big mom gave them to him. They all seem calm..... I will take the blue haired one who froze the sea. She seems to be the strongest one as far as I can tell..... her aura is so chaotic."

Kizaru: "So scary! I'll deal with the former warlord."

Fujitora: "I'll take anyone that I meet first."

Sengoku: "Men charge!"

Everyone started charging towards the women who started charging as well. Sengoku went into his budda state as he fought esdeath. He was shocked when he saw that she was keeping up with him and her ice attacks were devastating as they easily destroyed marine ship that was close by. They other girls were breezing through the marines as they had all become so much stronger.

Kizaru: "Well it seems that you got stronger boa hancock, you weren't this strong before."

Hancock: "I'm not too strong..... you're just weak."

Hancock continued fighting kizaru and using her advanced haki made easy work of him. Kizaru heavily focused on his logia and rarely trained his haki so hancock's haki easily overpowered him. Advanced conquerors attacks infused with ryou destroyed his ribs and damaged multiple organs. He was shocked as he threw up blood from the attack, it felt like he was blown up from the inside out. Even with his logia he was helpless, he had to retreat temporarily so he turned himself into light and disappeared. Hancock scoffed as she continued tearing through marines.

Viola on the other hand found herself fighting admiral fujitora. She used her fruit on him and realized that this man was a kind hearted man, she was surprised as she had never expected such a high rank marine to have such a pure heart. Fujitora also felt her emotions with his advanced observation haki and found her to be a kind hearted girl, he was slightly confused as he expected a pirate to have negative emotions.

Fujitora: "As you can see I'm blind but my haki is sharper than any vison. You are clearly a kind person so why are you a pirate?"

Viola blocked his sword attack as she used her own sword that flare gave her, Ame no Habakiri. Flare gave her a copy of the sword since he could make infinte copies. She wasn't a master using a sword but she was definitely not a noob either.

Viola: "Not all pirates are evil, we only protect others."

Fujitora: "I see, I wish I could see you and you're crew. You seem like good people."

Viola: "They are, even though they are weird sometimes."

Fujitora smiled as they continued fighting and causing mass destruction around them. They were fighting but they had mutual respect for each other so they didn't fight to kill. Esdeath on the other hand was all about murdering these dogs for daring to attack them. Esdeath had been fighting with sengoku and was having a blast.

Esdeath: "For an old man you have some strength but it isn't good enough to stop me."

Sengoku: "Damn, this woman is strong, really strong. How come this is the first time I've ever seen or heard about her? Her ice attacks can be destroyed but the broken parts still fly out and fall on marines close by, we might have to fall back."

Esdeath: "Where do you think you're going so quick? I haven't even gotten started as yet."

Esdeath's eyes turned blood red as darkness started to spread around her. Her ears became even longer as as her teeth and her nails became sharper and longer. She has now started using her mythical zoan, bat-bat fruit: model vampire. She let out a burst of conquerors haki that ended up knocking out all close by marines as she infused ryou as she rushed towards sengoku again. Sengoku was shocked at her transformation but quickly responded by turning into his hybrid form as he rushed towards her as well. They continued clashing but they were roughly even esdeath slowly started pushing him back.

Meanwhile this was going on the charlotte sister were easily dealing with the fodder by using their devil fruit powers. Even they were surprised when they realized just how strong they had become now. They even ended up completely destroying on of the ships leaving only 1 working marine ship behind.

Azula and yamato were fighting the new vice admirals, smoker and Gion along with many rear admirals and other marines. They were all easily defeated even with smoker and Gion's devil fruit ability. Smoker hadn't expected them to know haki and was easily defeated along with hina.

Azula: "Well that was easy..... are all marines this weak?"

Yamato: "I've never been to sea before so I'm not sure..... I don't think though."

Azula: "Damn marines, got me worked up for a fight but ended up being a disappointment. I need to vent my anger on the other marines."

Yamato: "Oh, well I'll come too."

As the fight progressed the more marines fell. Soon their numbers had gone from 3000 to under 200. Sengoku who was bloodied and still battling esdeath saw this as he decided to retreat. He couldn't sacrifice any more soldiers to die.

Sengoku: "Fujitora, plan C."

Fujitora heard this as he understood what to do. This was a secret code which they used to transmit hidden messages.

Fujitora: "Well it seems that we must go. I wish your crew all the best."

Fujitora then used his remaining strength and sent waves upwards into the clouds. Everyone close by saw this as fujitora jumped away and ran towards the remaining ship. Viola was also a bit confused until she looked up to see 5 large meteorites falling from the sky. Everyone stopped fighting momentarily to witness the meteorites falling towards them. The remaining marines realized what was happening and all ran back to the remaining ship.

Kizaru who had returned to fighting boa hancock saw this as well. He returned to fighting hancock but this time he used far ranged light attacks to attack her but she still managed to block them. Everytime she got close to hit him he would teleport somewhere else, it really annoyed hancock as he kept running. He saw the signal so he turned back to light as he too disappeared to the ships.

Hancock: "Damn coward, he just kept running the whole fight..... so who's gonna take care of the giant meteorites?"

All the remaining marines arrived back at the ship where it was currently floating on water. The constant battle and explosions broke most of the ice allowing the ship to float in the water once more. Sengoku had used a giant explosive shockwave to momentarily stun esdeath and used it to escape back to the marine ship. He then started sailing off, leaving the giant meteorites to flare's crew to deal with.

Sengoku: "Damn, they really were strong. He wasn't kidding when he said that he didn't even need to fight. This kid just got way more dangerous,"

Kizaru: "They are also really strong, Hancock's attacks nearly knocked me out. I had to retreat for a moment to get my head in the game."

Sengoku: "Call Kuzan, we have to report everything that happened here today. Tell him that we have a new yonko on our hands."

Sengoku held his head as he watched the falling meteorites from afar. He strength of each individual was enormous and one of the surviving marines managed to capture pictures of each of the girls, even the 2 on the ship that were sitting beside flare that didn't fight. They would all receive bounties and all who had bounties would be raised significantly.
