Clash of Geniuses

"WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING!" Xiu bellowed as he was on the brink of clashing with the blonde mohawk teen, witnessing their ongoing argument.

Qian snorted without a response, opting to focus on dispatching enemies and avoiding further dispute with Lei to maintain his dignity.

Lei, aiming his bow at Qian, nonchalantly shrugged and joined in the assault against the adversaries.

"It seems that you are underestimating me, Young Master Xiu," the blonde mohawk remarked gently, noting Xiu's ability to observe the battlefield while engaging in conversation.

"I underestimate no one," Xiu retorted confidently. "Art of the Battlefield 1st Spear Art - Dragon Breaks the Field!"

With a swift movement, Xiu pulled his battle spear into a lunging position, conjuring a dragon made of blue aura that coiled around the weapon. He then charged forward, thrusting the spear toward the enemy.

"Thank you," the blonde mohawk replied gently. "Barrera Ofensiva - El Finex."

A phoenix, crafted from purple-colored mirror, materialized above the blonde mohawk's head and surged toward Xiu.

BAAANNGG!!

The clash of their skills created an explosive aura, compelling both pirates and allies to step back and witness the intense confrontation.

Amidst the reverberating clash, a voice whispered, "Arma Orgullosa - Espada Corta" and "Art of the Battlefield 1st Sword Art - Decapitate." Xiu vanished, reappearing behind the blonde mohawk, intent on decapitating him with a ninjato in hand.

"Barrera Defensiva - Yo!" Sensing the imminent danger, the blonde mohawk hastily erected a defensive barrier around himself.

CLINK!

The attack missed, and as the enemy prepared for a counter, Xiu invoked, "Art of the Battlefield 1st Movement Art - Great Escape." A dragon silhouette formed beneath Xiu's feet, propelling him backward, safely evading the impending retaliation.

"Barrera Ofensiva - El Dragon!" the blonde mohawk roared, summoning a dragon made of purple-colored mirrors that soared towards Xiu, poised to engulf him.

"Shit!" Xiu cursed, struggling to dodge while retreating.

"Sagan's Hide (Double Fold)," a casual voice announced, accompanied by a powerful tiger's roar. A robust barrier of sound waves enveloped Xiu, shielding him from the impending draconic assault.

"Lock On - Nightfall!" Lei muttered, directing a swarm of arrows composed of TPs toward the blonde mohawk.

"Barrera Defensiva - Yo," the blonde mohawk calmly uttered, once again wrapping himself in a protective purple-colored barrier.

"Facing two opponents might pose a challenge, even for someone like me," the blonde mohawk remarked gently.

"What is your name?" Xiu inquired steadily, acknowledging the prowess of this formidable young genius among the pirates.

"Jon Andrei Vaughn," the blonde mohawk replied light-heartedly.

"Jon Andrei Vaughn, an 'immortal' gamer from the French national team, known as the ultimate defensive player~," Lei mentioned casually.

"Why a pirate?" Xiu questioned with seriousness.

"No reason," Andrei replied, turning and strolling back towards their pirate ship.

"Pudge, let's go," Andrei instructed the portly figure, still locked in battle with Lieutenant Commander Shavis.

"Yes, young Boss!" Pudge immediately acknowledged, bellowing, "Boys! Retreat!"

Pirates slowly withdrew upon the command, and the allied families, wary of casualties before the opening of the spatial zone, refrained from pursuing, fearing an all-out slaughter.

Suddenly...

"DIRTY SH*TS!! WHO SAYS YOU CAN LEAVE!" an enraged voice erupted.

"Dragon Claws!" a sizable dragon claw crafted from fire materialized in the air, charging towards the pirate ship.

Andrei's expression turned cold as he glanced towards the incoming attack.

"Barrier Grand Formations - Reflect," he muttered. An ethereal mirror barrier intercepted the dragon claw, bouncing it back towards Qian, who skillfully redirected the attack.

"What?!" Qian hastily glided using his dragon wings to dodge the rebounded assault.

Andrei coldly observed Qian before turning away, leaving the young dragon manipulator startled and refraining from further attacks, acknowledging the strength of his adversary.

"Think about it, Andrei! This is not the Great Pirate Age!" Xiu shouted.

Inside the retreating pirate ship, Andrei chuckled softly, "Then I'll make it one."

The resolute Marines contemplated pursuing the pirates when a strong disturbance emanated from the island's center.

"Lieutenant Commander Shadis, I think we need to proceed to the island~," Lei suggested casually, patting Shadis' shoulders.

Shadis hesitated briefly, realizing their current strength wasn't sufficient, but eventually nodded in agreement.
