'Stretching' for a little bit

3rd Person POV

In Red Sea City after the Jackson-Pirates just saved a young woman named Sheila from her attacker, a small discussion was being held.

Sheila and her twin sister, a woman looking just like her decided to welcome the crew in their house and made them some tea. The sister Juliet had a sickly pale complexion and paired with the occasional coughs, it became clear that she is unwell at the moment.

"So it's 11 votes for turning this island upside down and 0 for just leaving. Ok, it seems the decision has been made then."

"Aye!"

The crew answered loudly, making the enthusiasm in their voice more than obvious. Jackson started to smile savagely after hearing this and spoke in a deep menacing voice:

"It seems like I'll be able to stretch for a bit after all that training..."

*Shiver*

Their enthusiasm suddenly took a heavy hit like a campfire being exposed to sudden rain.

"Hehehehe..."

"Hohoho..."

Robin and Kench simply smiled without saying what they thought while the others were fidgeting weirdly.

"...What?"

Noticing such a strange behavior, Jackson asked them straightforwardly for the problem.

"Ehhhm... how should I say this? You see captain... maybe you 'stretching a little bit' isn't a good idea..."

"What? Why wouldn't it be? I also feel itchy for a real fight!"

"AH, you see, Jackson-nii, the thing is... Sachi may be right, after all we don't have enmity with the island itself...so..."

Now Jackson was simply bewildered by what they were saying.

'Enmity with the island? The fuq? You want to leave me out?'

"Hahahaha well captain... why don't you just relax and enjoy the show? Making a move yourself here would just be over the top."

"..."

"..."

"...Fine."

The others nodded at Enel's words making Jackson agree despite him pouting.

"Do as you want BUT if you can't finish by midnight, I'll definitely join too..."

"AYE!" (everyone)

***

Later that evening, Sachi walked into the first brothel he came across. He could see a wide hall with tables and couches, various men being served by young woman in either bikinis or other light dressing costumes but what they all had in common was the slave collar around their necks.

"Oh, welcome young man! Please come in and take a place, we will immediat-"

A slick looking man around 30 years of age came to invite him in but before the slick clerk could finish talking, he was interrupted by a fist suddenly appearing in his face, causing him to fly back.

The whole hall suddenly got silent. Some customers stood up and drew out their pistols aiming at Sachi while others called for their bodyguard.

This place's own security soon entered with weapons in their hands as well, yet Sachi only smirked while facing close to a hundred armed people.

"No one strong here, at least they will do for a warm up." (Sachi)

"Bastard! Who do you think we are?!"

"Do you have the slightest idea of how fucked you are right now?!"

"You clearly don't know who runs things here in this city!"

Contrary to their expectations Sachi answered the last guy who sspouted bullshit.

"Isn't it Profaci Joe? Bounty: 300.000.000B? Head of the Profaci family and leader of the alliance with the Mangano family. Two of the world's 5 greatest mafia-families even surpassing the 5 in the West Blue being only overshadowed by the counter alliance of the other 3 families?"

"...You know and still caused trouble here? Who is backing you!"

"Portgas D. Jackson."

Confused stares. They obviously had forgotten about the kid who everyone believed to have died 6 yeas ago.

Instantly shots were fired. The slaves ran, trying to hide while the guards and customers emptied their magazines on the intruder.

Pistols, rifles, knives the only thing that wasn't fired in here were bazookas and other bombs but Sachi suddenly just vanished from their sight.

In the next second cries could be heard as 10 guys were cut down before anyone could react. The ones nearest dashed in his directions with drawn knives but the pitch black sword in Sachi's hands smashed them into bits before bisecting the 4 attackers.

*Soru*

As he vanished again, all the guards, corrupt officials together with their bodyguards as well as the gangsters were torn through like a herd of sheep going against a tiger. Those who threw away their weapons and ran were the only ones to survive.

"Just some small flies who weren't enough to even warm me up."

Walking towards the slaves that were hiding in fear to the best of their abilities, Sachi cleaned his sword off all the blood.

Finding the slaves with observation haki was pretty easy. Arriving in front of one of them he told her to gather the others and find the keys for their collars before the goons came back.

Afterwards Sachi simply left and entered another brothel or a weapon factory when he senses one, repeating the whole process a few times until the rats he let run away returned with reinforcement.

Who would just watch as he ran around killing his people and destroy his sources of income. At some point the bosses had to appear with the main force if they didn't want to see everything crumbling in front of their eyes.

The new guys that arrived were tall, trained and wore expensive suits with a family emblem engraved on the left chest.

Upon closer inspection Sachi noticed that the emblems some of them had engraved were different. Since there were two different emblems it was logical to assume that they are the elite fighters from the Profaci and Mangano family.

Having a standoff on the street with close to a thousand trained elite fighters, who were armed with special guns, bazookas and many other weapons didn't seem to face Sachi much as he asked them directly:

"Is one of you Joe? Profaci Joe?"

Hearing his name being called so leisurely irritated many of the gathered fighters. One man stepped out of the crowd as he looked at Sachi with contempt.

'He is strong...'

Sachi felt the strength of his opponent clearly. The man in front of him knew at least haki. He was 2.3 metres tall had a long pointy nose and chaotic orange brown hair.

"I am Vincent Mangano, the number 2 in this city if you want. Joe is out to take care of another troublemaker. Your friend I assume?"

"Yeah, something like that." (Sachi)

The man in front of Sachi was the head of the Mangano family. Vincent Mangano, his bounty being 215.000.000 B, officially that is but neither he nor the others are ever really hunted thanks to the secret dealings they have with nobility and other influential people.

"All this just to lure us out? I would ask why you want to kill us but it's not really important to be honest. Just know that even if you manage to kill us you haven't won anything but the ire of many powerful and influential people."

"I can live with that."

Vincent didn't answer after hearing him since everything that had to be said was said. Getting ready for the fight he activated his devil fruit that made his skin turn dark purple while he grew at least another meter in height.

The guys behind him started firing at Sachi with bombs and bazookas, not leaving out a sinlge gun or cannon they brought but when the dust and smoke settled they could see him still standing their unscathed.

Dashing forward Sachi clashed fists with Vincent who blocked his path but the later didn't expect a sudden impact to be released and damage his right arm.

Unbeknownst to them, Sachi, together with Penguin, had extreme problems improving past a certain point while training. This happened in all fields they chose to train, effectively making them Jacks of all trades.

That in itself wasn't the problem since they at least learned and mastered the techniques somewhat but going further would simply require more than just a few years.

(From now on revolutionary army = rev army)

That was around the time when the revolutionaries found out they were alive. Jackson back then agreed to make a second agreement, which was proposed by the rev army under the condition that they construct a super battle suit for Sachi and Penguin.

Telling them whatever details he remembered from the anime about Germa 66's suits and even providing them the dials they brought from the sky islands paired with some details and analytics the rev army managed to steal from Germa the first prototype was finished within one year.

In exchange Jackson agreed that they would fight 2 battles of their choosing either with or secretly for the rev army in the future.

The released impact just now came from an impact dial that was integrated in the left glove. The Uniform itself was made extra resilient to absorb and transfer kinetic energy to the dial.

The boots released small periodical bursts when he kicked hard, increasing the speed of his soru and geppo further.

His observation haki and haki hardening was trained in battles against sea creatures until it reached a satisfactory level.

"Why so surprised?"

With a smirk on his face, he taunted Vincent. Him grabbing his sword with both hands, while covering it in haki and taking a battle stance prompted Vincent to take this seriously as he too covered his fists in haki and rushed at Sachi.

Defending and attacking. On the ground, in the air, on the street or in random buildings they clashed multiple times exchanging hits again and again while pushing and rushing at each other around the area.

The heavily armed troop became useless since they could Vincent if they started firing again. Unlike Sachi, who accumulated energy for his left glove, Vincent accumulated small cuts and burn wounds across his upper body.

With time it made him sluggish allowing Sachi for a left hook to the head releasing the accumulated energy from the dial.

"ARGH!"

"Eat this bitch!"

The hit to the head made Vincent loose focus, which he regained only after a deep cut to his side woke him up.

'Run.'

He changed his tactic and in order to survive and heal, he has to flee.

"Attack him with everything you got! Don't let him get closer!"

Saying this Vincent turned around to leave ignoring the brutal screams coming from behind him. Despite being slightly slower than Sachi he should be able to get away if the family's fighters slow him down but he was wrong.

Sachi's in haki covered sword suddenly shot out. The blade separated into parts that were connected by a chain. Shooting forward before Vincent could flee, the tip pierced his neck from behind, ending his life.

"Now, it's your turn."

Ending the ghostly silence that descended in the area, Sachi readied his blade and ended what he started.

***

"Fuck! What the hell are you?!"

"Hoho, how rude. Can't you see that I am a fish man chef cook?"

On the other side of the city, Joe, the head of the Profaci family and alliance leader between the Profaci and Mangano family was facing off against Kench.

He was a middle aged man with dark brown hair that was combed to the ride side. Being of average height with two axes in his hands one wouldn't directly assume him to be such a big name in the underworld.

"Do you even know how many people will hunt you down if you really kill me?"

"A good chef doesn't go three times when buying three ingredients. He goes out once and buys all of them together."

Not taking this nonsense any longer Joe dashed at Kench who seemingly didn't even bother defending.

The pitch black ax swung by the 300.000.000 B mafia boss hit Kench in the neck but the only thing that happened was small cracks spreading over his skin around the attacked area.

Tahm Kench's skin produces a special fluid that covers him in a thin layer. That strange fluid made it hard for Kench to learn true fishman karate but it was a great defense.

Upon contact it would harden in accordance to the speed and power of the object, meaning it is practically a shield that gets stronger or weaker in accordance to the attack.

The cracks that appeared are from the hardened fluid which soon started to smooth them out. Opening his mouth wide, the fishman used his tongue to attack Joe.

His tongue had special properties as well. It was exceptionally long and flexible, while also being somewhat elastic.

Joe barely dodged the whip like tongue unlike his men, who were surrounding Kench and firing at him but no bullet penetrated his shield and were simply flushed out.

Those who came in direct contact with his tongue and survived felt numb, not from the pain, but from the slight paralyzing poison on his tongue. Getting hit multiple times by it means becoming unable to move at some point.

"What a damn monster!"

"Ho. Maybe I will try out that move, captain taught me."

Kench opened his mouth wide and covered his tongue with haki before retracting it in itself similar to how Luffy prepares king gun while in Gear 4.

Joe who rushed to interrupt Kench from whatever he was trying to do, was suddenly hit in the chest. The tongue shot out with such a speed and force that it left after shocks in the air when it broke the sound barrier.

Joe who didn't manage to defend himself in time got his lungs punctured and crushed by his broken rips and sternum causing his death.

"Indeed very powerful. Just how did the captain think of this...I'll ask him later after finishing up the rest."

And like this the Red Sea City fell, the controlling faction with nearly 2 thousand men present almost completely annihilated within hours by only two people.
