“Capture Red Dragon”

A medium-sized ship was sailing the most dangerous ocean, the Grand Line. In one of the ship's rooms stood a man with a large build, long red hair, and a fierce look. On his face, he had some scars.

This person was Red Dragon and the captain of the Red Dragon Pirates. He was appreciating a medium-sized chest full of jewels, diamonds, and gold that was on top of his desk.

Knock, knock.

The door caused Red Dragon to look up with a frown, annoyed that someone was interrupting him while he was appreciating his treasure, "Come in" said Red Dragon in a hoarse tone.

The door opened and from the other side entered a bald, skinny, and very tall man, "Captain the island is in sight, in a few minutes we will arrive" said the bald man respectfully.

"Good" said Red Dragon as he padlocked the chest shut and walked out of the room followed by the bald man.

"How are the new slaves?" asked Red Dragon.

"They are calm now and obey our orders in fear. At first, as we massacred their village and they are young they showed signs of rebellion, but it was easy to intimidate them" replied the bald man with a fierce smile.

"That's good, as long as you don't kill them or damage their faces and they can keep walking, you can do whatever you want to them" said Red Dragon.

When Red Dragon walked to the bow all the pirates tensed up and showed respect, showing the fear they had for their captain even though they were pirates.

"Captain, what will we do when we arrive?" asked the bald man.

"The new slaves will stay on the ship, there is no point in moving them to the factory, as we will sail in a few days to the island where the auction will be held. We will meet up with Fidelma and the others, spend the night on the island, and leave tomorrow" replied Red Dragon.

The ship arrived at the port where the other ship belonging to the pirates was located.

Lego and Ramses had docked their ships on a side not visible to the pirates, so Red Dragon and the others did not notice anything strange.

Upon docking, the pirates began to disembark, some were carrying crates with food and alcohol, for the feast, as they worked very hard to capture the new slaves and wanted to rest.

The group was about 20 pirates approximately, Red Dragon walked in the front, carrying nothing, the only thing he had was a big axe on his back, this was his main weapon.

"Those damn villagers put up more resistance than any other village we've attacked before" commented one pirate as he walked towards the factory with the others.

"Yes, the local forces in that village far outnumbered the other villages. They should be used to attacks" said another pirate.

"However it was useless, in the face of our captain's great strength they could do nothing" said a pirate while laughing.

The pirates were chatting happily, until at one point the sound of a gunshot was heard.

BANG!

Instantly more shots were fired in the direction of the pirates. The bullets hit many pirates, however, they were not aimed at deadly areas, they were aimed at the legs or shoulders.

The only one who was able to react was Red Dragon who managed to easily block some bullets that were heading towards him.

"What's going on?" shouted a pirate in pain while grabbing his leg that was dripping blood.

Everything happened in a few seconds, after the shooting ended, from the bushes, several armed people came out. They were Tesoro, Yosano, Lego, Ralph, Ramses, and the others who rushed without thinking towards the pirates.

Tesoro and Yosano ran straight toward the red Dragon, whose red hair made it very easy to identify him.

A battle began, the pirates of the Red Dragon vs a group of 9 people who did not know who they were.

"Who are you bastards!" exclaimed Red Dragon furiously while swinging his huge axe at Tesoro and Yosano.

Both youths dodged Red Dragon's attack easily, the axe hitting the ground created a crater and kicked up a lot of dirt and dust.

"Shut up you bastard!" shouted Yosano as she slashed with her sword at the Red Dragon.

*Tsch this girl... I was supposed to take care of him* thought Tesoro annoyed.

Red Dragon managed to block Yosano's cut with his axe and to his surprise he moved back a few steps, *How a woman have so much strength?* thought Red Dragon in surprise.

This distraction was enough for Tesoro to hit Red Dragon in the stomach.

Tesoro didn't use swords, instead, he used brass knuckles on both hands.

PUM!

Red Dragon felt a great pain in his stomach and was sent flying, on the way he collided with several of his subordinates.

He felt his bones break, and he spat out a large amount of blood, *Who is that bastard?* he thought with a frown as he looked at Tesoro.

Yosano was already heading towards him at full speed, "Damn bitch, don't bother!" shouted Dragon Red as he waved his hand, his huge axe rose from the ground and headed towards Yosano.

Yosano was not surprised by this, she even expected that Red Dragon would do this, with both hands holding her sword she hit the axe and managed to reject it, then continued running towards Red Dragon.

Red Dragon could not believe his eyes, his axe was already too far away to be able to control it with his devil fruit power, he stood up with difficulty and waited for Yosano to arrive.

However, Tesoro had already reached Yosano and both of them rushed toward the pirate who had an ugly expression on his face. Between the two of them, they began to beat the red Dragon to a pulp, he couldn't defend himself from these two.

His subordinates were not having a better time, and they could not help their captain even though they had more people than their attackers, they were easily defeated by Ramses and the others.

Yosano had to be careful not to cut off Red Dragon's head and only wounded him in less risky areas. When she had the chance, she used the back of her sword to strike Red Dragon's head, breaking his nose and knocking him to the ground.

Tesoro didn't waste this opportunity and with his fist, he hit Red Dragon's face breaking his nose more and knocking him out.

"I defeated him" said Tesoro with a triumphant smile looking at Yosano.

Yosano clicked her tongue in annoyance and turned her head, she noticed that the battle with the other pirates was about to end. There were only a few pirates left standing. To satiate his anger, he turned to them and beat them to a pulp with the back of her sword.

"Red Dragon captured, if they brought new slaves they must be on the ship, Ramses go with Bob, Dom, Ed, and Gus. Free the slaves and bring them here, also bring the handcuffs to chain the pirates" ordered Lego.

Ramses and the other 4 nodded and started heading towards the port, "It wasn't that hard" said Ralph a little disappointed by the strength of these pirates.

However, this result was normal, they were all trained by Saul an ex-marine vice admiral, plus Yosano and Tesoro were trained by Yamamoto.

And now and then Ivankov or Kuma also helped them and advised them to improve the training. Having so many strong people giving them advice and guiding them, it was logical that they would easily defeat these pirates.

...

[Ding! Your subordinates have saved 21 slaves from the hands of some evil pirates, you are rewarded with 1,050 merit points]

Yamamoto reading the notification from the system smiled in satisfaction, although he had hoped that Red Dragon on his journey had captured more slaves, he was in a hurry or something.

He now possessed 6,000 merit points, this was the way to go to be able to buy everything he would need from the system store.

...

"Dang you, do ya even know who ya messed with!" said in incomprehensible language Red Dragon who was with handcuffs on his arms and legs. Because of the blows of Yosano and Tesoro, he had lost a large number of teeth, and that's why he spoke so badly.

His subordinates were in the same way, Lego and the others had moved them to the factory that was currently being used to keep them prisoners.

Ramses, Bob, Dom, Ed, and Gus were once again feeding the new slaves, who had the same incredulous faces as the previous ones when they were saved.

"If you knew who our leader was, you'd be scared shitless" Yosano said disdainfully to which Ralph and Tesoro nodded in agreement.

"Listen pirate, if you don't want to end up like your vice-captain, you better answer all our questions" Lego said as he put a bench in front of Red Dragon and sat down.

Tesoro, Ralph, and Yosano were surprised by the words Lego said, as he never acted so rudely.

Red Dragon upon hearing this stopped talking, he knew that something had happened to his crew that was on this island, how he saw it to us, most likely they were dead.

After about 30 minutes, the talk between Lego and Red Dragon ended, "If they had left him more teeth, we would have done faster" said Lego a little annoyed, as it was difficult to understand what the pirate was saying.

"Sorry" said Yosano and Tesoro in unison.

They had already obtained all the information they needed. The most important thing was the location of the island where the auction would be held, as Fidelma did not have this information.

Except for Red Dragon, all his subordinates were taken to their main ship and put in their cells.

The pirates who brought slaves now became slaves. On the side of Red Dragon threatened to cooperate with Lego and the others, however, Lego knew that he could try something at any time, so he placed an explosive collar around his neck.

This explosive collar is used by the World Nobles on their slaves and can be activated by their masters. If activated the collar explodes and the slave's head will fly off.

Earlier when they escaped on Pluming's ship there were many of these necklaces and Yamamoto decided to take them with him.

Red Dragon knew very well how these necklaces worked, so he had no choice but to cooperate and not to have treacherous thoughts, as his head could explode at any moment.

Lego told him that, if he cooperates with them, he would then release him and his subordinates, although this was a lie, as he would take him to Yamamoto, if Red Dragon knew about this, he would rather have his head explode than meet the Demon of Fire.
