Navy VS Four Captains

Crocodile, accompanied by Daz Bonez and his crew, leisurely wandered across the island when a swarm of newspaper birds descended upon them, dropping the latest news.

"Looks like something important," Daz commented, and Crocodile grabbed one of the newspapers, quickly scanning the headline.

His expression shifted as he read "So that's they are going to play it…They are announcing the public execution of the 2nd division commander of the Whitebeard pirates...'Fire Fist' Portgas D. Ace"

"Public execution?! Whitebeard will certainly retaliate...that could mean one thing..."

"Ah...they're asking for war"

…

Grove 1, Human Auction House...

Everyone stared at Luffy with mouths wide open from the shock. No one could believe that a person could punch a Celestial Dragon, someone that other people don't even dare to look at.

Kai, Kid and Law all smiled upon witnessing that.

"Hahaha! Not bad Straw Hat, you've got some guts" Kid exclaimed with a maniacal laugh.

Law turned to Kai, his curiosity evident "Can you see the future or something, Eustass-ya?..." 

Law recalled Kai's words earlier about something big happening.

Kai shrugged it off casually "Nah...just a hunch"

Law narrowed his eyes at that response but he didn't question him any further.

Right outside, a colossal figure, Bartholomew Kuma, one of the current Warlords of the Sea, passed by the building.

"The pirates attacked the Celestial Dragons!!!"

"Battleships are coming from the Navy Headquarters!!!"

'The human shop!!' Kuma, intrigued, leaped onto the roof, peering through the glass 'Who is it?! What did they do to the Celestial Dragons?!'

'It is a taboo of the highest order. We are close to the Navy HQ it's a suicide to attack one here' Kuma nervously thought. His eyes widened in surprise when he saw that Luffy and the Straw Hats were the responsible ones 'Did he do it to protect a Fish-Man?! That's an act of high treasure the likes of which never accomplished in centuries!!'

Kuma's gaze shifted inside, spotting Bonney with Kai and the Eustass Pirates 'Bonney!!...she's gonna be in danger if she stays here!'

"..."

Luffy turned to his crew after that and said "Sorry about that guys, I heard that if we attack one of these guys they'll send an Admiral"

"Why did you have to go on and punch him? I wanted to slice him up my self" Zoro said while putting his sword back to its sheath.

The Straw Hats then engaged with the guards of the World Nobles.

"You lowly peasants!!! How dare you lay you filthy hand on my son!!!" Saint Rosward yelled at Luffy in rage "Call a Marine Admiral and his battleships!!! Let's put these scum to their place!!!"

"What should we do now? If we stay in this island, we'll be forced to fight an Admiral" Killer asked his captains.

"We'll leave until things calm down, then we come back" Kai responded with a serious expression. Kid didn't argue as he knows that facing the Navy in an island near HQ is nothing but trouble.

"Are the Admirals really that strong that you won't even try fighting one?" Wyper questioned. Obviously as someone who just came down to the Blue Sea recently he has no idea about their strength and status.

"With our current strength, it's a suicide and downright stupid to try fighting one" Kai stated, getting up from his seat "One should always know when to fight and when to retreat"

"To think that Straw Hat will cause all of this trouble, he's really a moron" Bonney said while staring at him.

"Looks like Chopper got himself a troublesome captain" Kureha smiled while observing the reindeer from a distance.

"Luffy, where's Camie?!" Ussop asked.

"Over there! We're leaving as soon as we get that bomb thing off her neck! There are Battleships and an Admiral on the way!"

"The marines are already here Straw Hat-ya" Law informed him from his seat, calmly observing the unfolding events.

"Who the heck are you? and what's with that bear?" Luffy asked while looking at Bepo.

"If the marines you worried about, they've been here since the auction started" Law stated, he then added "They've already surrounded this place. After all, they have a base here in Sabaody Archipelago...I don't know who is it they're after but I don't think they didn't expected someone to attack a Celestial Dragon"

"You've put on quite a show Straw Hat, I'm glad I was here to witness it" Kai who was standing in the row behind Law said to him.

"That's Trafalgar Law and Eustass Kai...Luffy they're also pirates" Robin managed to recognize the two infamous pirates and informed Luffy.

Meanwhile, Saint Shalria attempted to kill Camie with her pistol before she abruptly collapsed to the ground. The wall next to her crumbled, causing the tank holding Camie to be destroyed.

"See what I told you giant-kun? This place in a total chaos" Rayleigh walked out from the hole on the wall along with a giant "The auction is over, I've stollen my money, guess time to head back to do some more gambling..."

"I was planning on stealing from whoever bought me if I was lucky to have the chance" Rayleigh spoke to the giant while holding a drink in his hand "I mean just take a look at me, I'm just an old man...Who would want me as a slave? Hahahaha!!"

"Hm? What's this? Looks like everyone is staring at us"

"What's with the old man and the giant?! Weren't they meant to be auctioned?!"

When Rayleigh spotted Hatchan he immediately greeted him with a smile "Ohh, if it isn't Hachi!! It's been a while!!...What are you doing here, and what's with all those wounds?!--Ah, no no...don't bother explaining"

Rayleigh scanned the scene afterwards and came to a conclusion "I see, so you guys saved him..."

"...Now then" Rayleigh said sternly. With a serious expression and an intense gaze, he unleashed a powerful burst of energy, rendering nearly everyone unconscious.

Kai felt a tickling sensation in his skin 'Conqueror's Haki'

"That Straw Hat, it certainly suits a fearless man like you...I've been wanting to meet you Monkey D. Luffy" Rayleigh said while looking at him with a smile. He then proceeded to turn towards Camie and grabbed her collar with his bare hand.

"Hey, don't get hasty old man! those collars could explode!!!" Pappang exclaimed in panic.

Kai leaned forward when he saw that 'He's about to use it...'

"Kid, watch that carefully" Kai told him while fixing his eyes at Rayleigh's hand.

"Don't worry, just keep still" Ryleigh reassured Camie. then with a swift move, he crushed the bomb collar and threw it away.

BOOOM!! The collar exploded a few seconds later.

"What was that just now?"

"Internal Destruction...the highest form of Armament Haki, where you have the Haki flow into the targets body and destroy it from the inside out" Kai explained as he carefully watched Rayleigh use the technique in front of him 'I'm gonna have to reached that level if I ever want to stand a chance against the likes of Emperors and Admirals'

"Remember that carefully, one day you'll have to reach that level" Kai told his brother.

Kid clenched his fists while grinning excitedly "As expected from the right hand of the Pirate King...'Dark King' Rayleigh, what's a legend like him doing in a place like this anyway?" 

Law was able to recognize Rayleigh as well "To think we'd run to a man like him in a place like this..."

"Oh I'm sorry you guys, you're pirates hanging around to watch, eh?...and if you just took that blast without any trouble, you're not just amateurs either" Rayleigh said while looking at the Eustass Pirates and the Heart Pirates, when he saw Kai he remembered him from visiting Shakky's bar a few days ago "Oh, you're the young man from a few days ago, sorry we'd have meet again under these circumstances"

"Is this the business you've been speaking about, old man?" Kai asked him.

"Hahahaha! Kind off, I'll make sure to do your ship's coating later on don't worry"

"Old man, what was all that about wanting to meet me?" Luffy asked him.

"Ah...let's speak about that later Luffy-kun, now we have to worry about getting out of here" 

"They have the place completely surrounded" Killer informed his captains.

Right outside the human auction house, hundreds of marines surrounded the place.

<Criminals, I suggest you hurry up and release Saint Rosward his family immediately!!>

<An Admiral will be here any minute so it's best for you to surrender right away!! There's no telling what happen if don't damn rookies!!!>

"Looks like we're involved in this whether we like it or not...they're acting as though we're his accomplices" Law said.

"I've got to see first-hand, that Straw Hat Luffy is as crazy as the rumors say. I'm not exactly complaining, but I ain't sticking around to fight an Admiral" Kid said before he turned to Kai "Should we get moving?"

Kai nodded his head and turned towards the exist "Yeap, the longer we stay here the more of those marines will come...they have no end"

The two then proceeded to head out towards the exist "We'll be heading out first if you don't mind. Oh, and while we are at it, we'll do you guys a favor and take care of the guys hanging out the front so you don't have to worry your little selves" Kid smirked at Law and Luffy while saying that, clearly provoking them.

The two glared at him when they heard that and they immediately walked to the exist as well.

"You stand back as well, we don't need two people to take care of those marine losers" Kai said to Kid.

"Huh?! Don't get full of yourself just because you defeated that Warlord a few days ago!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"I said I'll do it myself" Luffy declared.

"Stop bickering already..." Kid responded.

"I don't need three morons getting in my way" Kai said to them.

"Same to you, you stupid brothers" Law replied to him.

"Shut up! Shut up you three!" Luffy exclaimed.

"You're so noisy..." Kid remarked.

"What did you say?!"

"I told you, I'll do it!"

"No I'll do it!"

"You'll damage my ear drum with your yelling" Kai swiped his finger over his ear.

"Here they come!! Ready yourselves!!" 

"Take aim!"

The marines brought mortars with them, and they proceeded to aim their rifles at the entrance of the building.

"Be careful, all the four of them are captains"

"You guys can go back inside!" Luffy cracked his knuckles getting ready to fight. He stood at the far left beside Kid.

"Hoi, are you even listening?! I told you to stay back!" Kid exclaimed with his arms crossed.

"Hey Law, just go chill in the back I got this" Kai said with confidence while resting his palm at the hilt of his sheathed sword. He was standing in the middle beside Law.

"Tell me what to do again and I'll start with you first, Eustass-ya!" Law was resting his sword on his shoulder.

"The four of them have bounties over 100 million. 'Straw Hat' Monkey D. Luffy, 300 million Berries..."

"Eustass 'Captain' Kid, 375 million Berries..."

"'Red Demon' Eustass Kai, 375 million Berries..."

"And finally 'Death Surgeon' Trafalgar Law, 200 million Berries"

"I'm more than enough!" x4

"…"

"Mortars! Fire!!"

BOOOM! BOOOOM! The marines aimed at the four pirate captains and fired mortars.

"Gomu Gomu no…" Luffy inflated himself rapidly through his mouth, becoming like a balloon and deflected the explosive back at the marines "…Ballon!!"

"AGHHH!!--BOOOOOM!!"

"Repel!!" With his arm crackling with magnetic energy, Kid held out his open-palmed hand in front of the cannonball approaching him and repelled it back in the direction it came from at a high speed, causing it to explode at the mortars and destroy them while injuring several marines.

"Cloud Shroud!" Kai extended his left arm forward and shot clouds from it and used them to engulf several marine soldiers, he then made the clouds dense to trap them inside.

"What the hell?!"

"I can't move!!"

With a smirk, Kai unsheathed his sword Shichiseiken and infused it with green flames before slashing the air in front of him, unleashing a large fire imbued, projectile sword slash in the shape of a grid.

<Seven Star's Grid Slash>

SPLASH!!

"GYAAHH!!" The marines who could not move because they trapped by the clouds got hit by the attack, and they were sliced into pieces.

"Room"

With his arm stretched forward and his left palm facing down, Law creates a spherical space around himself and another marine.

"Wh-What's with this circle?!"

Without even making a contact, Law swung his sword from a distance, cleanly decapitating the marine without causing any physical harm. And when the cannonball that was flying towards his direction entered the spherical space, he let it get close to him before swapping its positing with the marine's head.

"Shambles"

BOOOOM!!

"DAAAGHH!! I've been killed!...wait…huh?!" The head was still speaking even though it wasn't attached to its body anymore. With a grin, Law kept playing around with the head before letting out a slight chuckle.

"Watch out! All four of them have powers!!"

"Leave enough people to rescue the hostages and gather the rest here!" The officer leading them gave out orders. It only took a few seconds for the marines to regroup again and be ready for another attack.
