The Beginning Of The Battle

I was napping on a tree branch when I had first sensed them.

We had already discussed with the other Pirate crew exactly how we were going to handle this battle. We were going to divide and conqure while using their numbers against them. Even with the overwhelming number of over 10,000 total pirates within the actual alliance; most of them being Whitebeard Pirates. It paled in comparison to what the alliance had in opposition. 

It was going to be a long and bloody battle if things didn't go to plan. However, it was to be expected either way, after all, we are pirates.

Anyway, that meeting had happened yesterday. It was now dusk, and while everyone was preparing to sleep. My senses picked up a large number of pirates quickly approaching the island. They were all on a ship immediately heading over this way, and although they were yet to fire off any cannons. I could smell the gunpowder getting loaded into the cannons.

"Enemy attack!!!" I roared as I leaped from the tree branch that I was resting in. 

I had amplified my voice to make sure that it covered the entire island. Whitebeard, Roger and I had split the total troops into three groups so that we could meet each different pirate group in battle separately. 

My camp immediately woke up and gathered their weapons for battle. 

Meanwhile, I made a dead shot straight for the ship. It was just as I had expected, they had just loaded their cannons and were getting ready to bomb the island. I raised my axe as I immediately lunged at the ship.

"fulgura mortuorum!!!"

I sent silver lightning towards the ship, and right as it was about to clash with the ship. A huge figure suddenly appeared and blocked the lightning. Causing a huge explosion right in front of the ship. I immediately stopped in my tracks and remained floating a couple of meters away from the ship.

Standing on the Bow of the ship, a man with slightly blonde hair, pale skin and an enormous figure stood tall as he held an axe that was equal in size to mine.

"Who dares attack the ship of the Beast Pirates?!"

He was staring right at me as he said so. His eyes flashing with arrogance as he rested the blade of his axe right on his shoulder. 

"Well, well, well! If it isn't the Storm Dragon of the Whitebeard Pirates! We were told to leave you be should we meet you. However, what kind of man would I be if I didn't see for myself how strong you are?!" He smiled while I felt bits and pieces of Conqurer's haki eminate from him.

It was obvious that he hadn't mastered using Conqurer's haki. It was obvious that he had potential to be a powerhouse in the future, but his arrogance had much left to be desired. However, above all else, I still didn't even know this guy's name.

"I am Jack! An All-Star affiliate of the Beast Pirates!!! I will make sure that the taste of my axe will be your last sensation!!!"

Jack? 

He looked far from the Jack that I knew of within the anime. Hell, they didn't even use the same weapons. Could it be that Jack was just a title used to signify ones significance within the Beast Pirates?

Remembering the Beast Pirates complete numbers within the anime. They were notorious for having numbers and other sorts of groups that played vital roles within the Pirate Group. It wouldn't be surprising to find out that King, Queen and Jack were all titles that were granted to the people that were the highest in rank after their captains. 

However, I could be wrong.

I didn't bother asking as I readied my axe for my next attack. Using Observation haki, I could tell that the man was an intermediate user of haki. Nothing much, so it wouldn't be cumbersome at all to finish him off. 

It was during times like this that I missed having my division around. I could have easily relaxed and enjoyed my evening while the rest of the crew were busy handling people like this.

Anyway, Jack immediately lunged at me with his axe's blade high above his head. He had been laughing the entire time that this was happening. Almost like he was going to get a fight for his life. However, his speed was so slow it almost felt like he was moving in slow motion.

Sighing quietly, I used Soru to immediately appear in front of Jack and swung my axe horizontally across his neck. He didn't even have the chance to retaliate as I clearly saw his head separate from his body.

The two freshly separated body parts kept moving horizontally for a few meters before beginning their fall into the sea. Soon making a mild splashing sound as the sea opened its waters to embrace the now slain All-star.

"Im-impossible!! Jack's been killed!!! Retreat!!!!!!!" One of the Pirates immediately screamed in horror.

They all immediately stopped what they had been doing and focused all their aid on helping the others move the sails appropriately and make the ship fall back. However, it was all really worthless infront of me.

I channeled some more lightning and summoned the Lightning of the Dead. Immediately making a chain lightning that destroyed the ship and all its occupants. It was a quick and easy fight that didn't even last ten minutes. 

I ended up bringing up a false alarm, and now I was going to have to explain that to the rest of the crew. 

As I landed back on the island that we had been staying at, I immediately got a call from my Transponder snail. Picking it up, I was immediately greeted by the voices of Roger and Whitebeard. 

"Did you get attacked as well, Brat?" Whitebeard immediately asked.

"Yeah, but it was one of Kaidou's cronies, some guy named Jack," I replied casually.

"Same here, we were attacked by a Golden Lion affiliated ship. We made quick work of them, but still," Roger replied.

"Big Mom sent some of her children after me as well. It's good that we have all repelled them successfully, but I don't think that we should take this lying down," Whitebeard commented.

"I agree, we can't constantly just wait for them to always attack us in order to fight them off," I agreed, "I'm thinking about attacking Whole cake island from the west point, from Ulvehoved to be more specific."

"There's no problem with that, Boris," Whitebeard agreed, "Just make sure to cause as much as a fuss as you can. We need to get rid of as many of those pirates as we can."

"Alright, then I'll attack from the south. Hopefully, I can meet that bastard Shiki and give him a good thrashing. He may have caught us off guard, but this time, I'll make sure that I'll give him an ass kicking to remember!" Roger exclaimed excitedly on the call.

"Then I'll attack from the East," Whitebeard declared, "We won't attack until we've got confirmation that you've arrived on the west side, Boris. So let us know as soon as you get there."

"Fine."

With that, I hung up the call and immediately made my way towards the camp where my group had been camping. As I got closer, I noticed that they were still alert and ready for an attack at a moment's notice.

"Get ready, we're going to the West Side of Whole Cake island," I announced.

"Commander Boris! What about the invaders?!" One of the pirates asked.

"They're already dead, so no need to worry about them. Get ready to head out at a moment's notice," I replied casually as I returned to rest on a familiar treebranch.
