Execution (2)

Fierce waves formed around the sea as clashes of palms and swords were heard in the air. The ships fired off cannons like there's no tomorrow, some are not even worrying about proper aiming as they shot off as long as it's in the enemy's general direction.

"Give the captain back, you puppets!"

A man holding two black curved long swords attacked a giant whose entire body was made of gold.

The man's attire was eastern in nature, being a short robe with a long belt that formed a ribbon at it's knot. His japanese pompadour hair that reached a few inches high gave the man a tough look while those sharp eyebrows made him look even fiercer.

"Terrorists like yourselves have no right to call us puppets!"

The giant golden man threw a palm in the samurai's direction which created a beam of light that forced the man back. Though the light was forcefully dispersed by the samurai as he slashed down a black-bladed katana.

"Enma!"

*bang*

"Stand down Oden! You're not going to get him back!"

"Silence! I, Oden, shall do as I please without your permission!"

"That's right Sengoku! You give him back right now or we will have blood staining these shores!"

A fleet of ships heralded by a tall man wearing nothing but a pair of pants stood on the helm of his ship. His musclebound body was covered in tattoos depicting a dragon chasing it's own tail while the long black hair of his was unkempt behind his back. He carried with his a black mace that hanged on his shoulders.

"Kaido!"

The ship's mast was made of a towering dragon's horn while it's figurehead was a dragon's head. The rest of the ships similarly had figureheads of beasts that occupied a large portion of the sea, numbering the same amount as the fleet of the Marines. The only commonality between them was the black flag that had the bones of a man with dragon horns. The flag of the Beast Pirates.

Akatora was able to see the pirate fleet facing off against the Marines and he couldn't help but sweat as he could see a war happening here. He then looked at the trembling men on his ship as he gave out an order.

"Everyone prepare to fire the cannons! Move towards the perimeter of the fight, do not engage unless I've given the order!"

"Understood, sir!"

The helm master steered the ship exactly as Akitora had said, they watched as beams of light and explosions occurred on the horizon but they did not fight. Because Akitora saw a ship heading straight for the middle, one that housed the greatest power the Marines has today.

A giant dog's face was its figurehead while a large man sitting on the dog's head while eating a bag of fried rice crackers. He wore a hat that resembled a pale brown dog while eating away, seemingly unbothered by the fight going on right in front of him. His brown suit and white coat were indicative of his identity, as the only man who can do this without worry was none other than the 'Hero of the Marines'.

"Garp! Help me out!"

"Garp! Did you really beat Roger! Fight me!"

Sengoku was having a hard time fighting against Oden and his 100 men. The swordsmen of Wano had never displayed their abilities before the world before and only now did Sengoku realize why the World Government never had any intention of invading that place. That was because these people are all warriors with Haki!

Meanwhile Kaido felt his blood boil at the thought of beating the man who had beaten the Pirate King. Kaido wanted to see if he was able to win the title of the strongest by beating him. Then he'd fight that stupid Whitebeard, he'll show him how much he'd grown since his last defeat at his hands.

"Bwahahaha! Me? Beat Roger? Bwahahaha! Ak-"

The whole fight stopped as everyone had their attention grabbed by the man laughing his ass off. He then choked on the snack he was eating and hurriedly reached for the drink he prepared beforehand.

"Phew, I almost died there."

The few who had no idea who Garp was felt that their superiors were messing with them when they said that the most dangerous man in the Marines was this man. He looked more like a weathered old man than the grand hero he was described as.

One rookie pirate felt this as well so he took aim at the man. He used his newly learned Observation Haki to get an accurate shot at the old man's head.

'I'll be famous! Killer of the Hero of the Marines!'

His excited face as the pressed on the trigger suddenly turned stiff as he felt that the man move his eyes to stare straight into his. The pirate's shot arrived directly on Garp's head but it just bounced off when it did, causing no harm whatsoever.

The same cannot be said for the pirate though as he he had collapsed on the ground, not breathing. The cause of his death, his heart stopped beating.

"Hey! You dropped this!"

Garp's anger at being shot at didn't lessen though as he threw the small round ball of metal back to that man's ship. Kaido rushed to stop the bullet that Garp nonchalantly threw as he used his Observation Haki to identify the path the bullet will pass through.

*whoosh*

*bang*

"What?!"

But he didn't get to see anything before the ship had already started sinking. The men on board had hurriedly jumped towards the closest ship, but not everyone had been lucky enough to survive.

"Help!"

*brrrrr*

"Boss!"

Cries for help sounded out as the ship headed straight for the ocean floor. Kaido couldn't help but feel that it was a waste to have men that served as nothing more than cannon fodder.

He looked back at the still eating Garp while wondering what his next move should be, but one thing's for sure.

He needed better subordinates.
