56 Ashen-Happo Alliance
"Time to finish this" Enel said with a serious expression before he jumped in the air and then landed in the middle of the enemy troops.
"Don't go overboard" Urouge said with a smile while carrying a large pillar on his shoulder.
Enel stood surrounded in his place before he infused his staff with electricity while hardening it with Armament Haki. After that around eight people attacked him at once, he proceeded to use Observation Haki to dodge them and then knocked them down individually.
In these past years Ashen forced Enel to stop relying too much on his devil fruit power in order to develop his Haki, physical strength and his close-range combat skills.
His Armament Haki isn't very strong, but his Observation Haki range is exceptional. Though Haki isn't his specialty, but his incredible speed of his devil fruit power complemented with the Rokushiki technique Soru that Ashen forced him to learn, makes him the fastest person in the crew.
Enel beat up another dozen people before he stretched his palms and proceeded to discharge a large amount of electricity, shocking the targets nearby.
<Vari>
*Lightning*
After that, he jumped in the air and sent a large cluster of electricity from his arm into the sky above the battlefield, ready to strike down almost everyone down.
"Enel-san is about to use that move!"
"Quickly, move back if you don't want to get caught!" When the lower ranking members of the Ashen pirates saw that move, they all started retreating to leave Enel the chance to eliminate the enemies in one attack, making Chinjao's men confused in their place. The latter used his Observation across the battlefield and made sure everyone is safe before he unleashed it.
<El Thor>
"STOOOOP!!!" Just as he was going perform his attack, a deep voice resounded across the battlefield taking everyone's attention.
"That's…the leader!" One of Chinjao's men exclaimed while pointing towards him in relief.
"Leader!"
"The leader, has regained conscious!" Everyone was happy while cheering for the old man who was soaked in water.
"Huh?...That's!...The leader's pointed head was restored!!!!" One of his men pointed out, while everyone eyes popped out in disbelief.
"Huh?!!!!!" x500
"Hiyahohoho! I never thought that the day where my drill is restored will come!" Chinajao said in happiness before he slowly walked towards Ashen "Everyone stand down!" He ordered his men who looked confused.
"Leader, they have shamed us! We can't just back off like that!"
"That man is the one who restored my drill, my pride!" He stated while pointing at Ashen who stood calmly in his place with his arms crossed "That's the greatest show of respect!".
"You know I didn't do it on purpose right?" Ashen calmly responded.
"I'm still grateful!" He said loudly and then proceeded to bow in gratitude while accidently splitting the ground in front of him.
*BAM*
"Hiyahohoho! Sorry about that!" He said and then added "You have a strong crew, they even managed to beat my sons…if we continue this battle we will be annihilated"
"No offense, but if they can't even do that, I'll be disappointed" Ashen said.
"Hiyahohoho! I'm sure the Happo Navy will thrive under your banner!" Chinjao said with a smile.
"Leader! What are you saying?!" His men looked shocked at his words.
"As a token of gratitude please let us join you, I'm sure the Happo Navy will be of a great help to you in the future"
"Is that so?...I won't say no to a strong ally" Ashen said with a grin and then he proceeded to handshake Chinjao.
"That was unexpected" Enel looked a bit surprised at the development, he immediately stopped the attack after that and landed back next to Ashen.
"Alright, the battle is finished! treat the wounded!…And let's have a banquet to celebrate our new alliance!" Ashen declared loudly and everyone started cheering after that.
"Haaaa!!!"
…
A few hours later,
"Murmur…murmur… murmur"
Ashen Pirates and the Happo Navy were gathered in the castle celebrating their new alliance, Chinjao's men respected his decision at the end, while his two sons were also grateful when they found out about the drill, and a big banquet was held by the order of Ashen.
"*Gulp*…*Gulp*…Blah!!...Chinjao, I heard that you amassed a great amount of treasures back in the day and hide them somewhere" I said, while I was sitting on a big sofa with two beautiful women on my sides, they were pouring drinks for me. Since I didn't have the chance to date, I started enjoying the company of women from time to time instead.
I took another gulp from my sake before I spoke again "It shouldn't be a problem to rebuild the damaged ships?"
"Now that my drill is back, I can access them without a problem!" He stated, and then proceeded to explain to me further "When that bastard Garp flattened my head I was heartbroken and I quit being a pirate after that, but thanks to you now things are the way they should be once again"
"Good…Tell me, is the engine still working?" I asked him with a smirk.
"What do you mean?" He was confused at my question, before a beautiful women approached him and sat on his lap "Hiyahohoho! You're quite crafty!".
"Just taking care of my new friend, you should enjoy yourself, the night is long" I said before I changed the subject "There will be a big battle soon, you should prepare from now" I informed him.
"You're going for a bigshot?" He asked in curiosity.
"Yeah, someone dangerous, that's why I'm building a fleet" I stated "You're in?".
"Why do you think they call me Chinjao the Drill, there is nothing I can't break" He declared proudly while pointing at his head.
'Garp fist' was what I wanted to say but I didn't want to ruin the mood "That's the spirit! Now, let's party!"
…
The next day,
Chinjao and his fleet proceeded to leave after he gave me his vivre card, so I could find him whenever I want.
We were currently at the castle yard, all the crew members are gathered for the fighting tournaments, it's a good chance to spot talented people among the lower ranking members. Thought, I forbid killing or the use of real weapons, at the end it's for the sake of entertainment. People can also put their bets on who's going to win a fight.
…
*BAM*
"Aghh!...Damn it!" A man cursed out while getting knocked down.
"Cage, Win!"
"Haaa!!"
"Not bad Cage!" said someone from the crowd.
"1,2,3,4,5,6…Keeeh!! I was right to put my bet on you Cage!" said a man in excitement while counting the money he gained from betting.
"I told you to trust me Ox, unless it's the higher-ranking members I'm confident to win" said a muscular man with confidence while flexing his muscles.
…
"Everyone is bustling with energy" Calvin commented on the atmosphere while watching the fights in interest, he was sitting next to me with a bottle of alcohol in his hand.
"That's how it should be" I said, before someone came running towards me.
"Boooss!!"
"What's up?" I asked him.
"Ken-san and Yamamoto have returned!" He informed me.
I smiled at that before I asked him "Did they bring someone with them?"
"A-Ah, a pirate ship" he said, before three familiar figures appeared, followed with dozens of people behind them.
"Captain!" an extremely tall 16 years old boy said while waving at my direction. He's about 300 and something cm with lean, somewhat muscular body, he's Yamamoto who grew abnormally large in the past years, most likely related to his extreme physique he possesses and his yet to grow more.
Beside him is the old man Ken who haven't change at all, and another person that I'm very familiar with.
He is tall man with a huge tattoo across his chest, he has blond hair, green eyes and a muscular body full of scars, and his carrying a long polearm saber behind his back.
"Yamamoto, Ken good job, you can go rest for now" I said to them before I changed my gaze to the man standing in front of me.
"Hehehehe…Who would've thought that the little demon I met five years ago would grow this much" He said with a twisted smile while standing thoroughly in his place "You don't look as innocent as back then, those muscles make you more intimidating…Hahahaha!"
"Yo, Mesagi. It's been a long time…I have an offer for you"
