Vol. 05 Ch. 35 – Vs Marines

A.N: I want to split this chapter but i'm lazy to edit it again, over 1600 words, happy reading.

For the general public, pirates are scary and bad people. Especially pirates who have a high bounty. In the four blue seas, pirates with a bounty of 50 million B are already considered very high. ART pirates who have a bounty of more than that, of course, terrified the residents of the island of Baterilla and locked their houses tightly.

Arthur didn't stay on the island for long, his goal to visit the tomb of Portgas D Rouge had been fulfilled. The magic compass also didn't reveal anything they wanted on the island. That same afternoon Athena returned to sail to the seas and go to their next destination, the Sorbet Kingdom.

Sabo: "Captain, why don't we stay longer?" Sabo asked when they would start sailing again.

Arthur: "I'm satisfied with visiting the graves of Portgas D Rouge, Monet has already planted our organizational agents and [Mark] on this island. Our supplies are still sufficient and there are no other interesting things. If you want something then we can wait for you here. " Arthur sat down with Hancock who opened a map of South Blue to confirm their direction.

Hancock: "The longer we are there the more dangerous it is for the residents there. Bounty Hunters, the marine, or others who want to attack us may not care about the safety of the residents. " Hancock clarified Arthur's reasoning but her eyes remained focused on the map to check their next destination.

Sabo: "… I'm going to the mini-gym for training."

They need to be reminded that they are pirates. To the residents, they are bad people. Many wanted to attack them and could drag the people down if they fought in that city. Finally, they returned to sailing, and the next day, Hancock's words proved, the marine in South Blue confronted them.

Bepo: "Captain, many marine warships are visible at the 12 o'clock direction." After sailing from the island of Baterilla yesterday, the marine finally gave their response.

Robin: "How many warships do you see?" All of the ART pirate members stood up from where they were ready to attack.

Bepo: "Five warships." Bepo's report on Robin's question.

Arthur: "You don't need to panic, they are just marine from South Blue headquarters. Their strength is only around Blue Seas Marine Captain class. " Arthur walked up to the deck and was greeted with heavy cannon fire from the marine.

Hancock: "[Rain Pistol]" The droplets of water covered with Busoshoku Haki flew from Hancock's fingertips towards the cannonball aimed directly at Athena and exploded in the air.

* Boom Boom Boom *

Arthur: "Baby-5, create mist with your new power."

Baby-5: "Yes, Arthur." With her new power, Mist-Mist Fruit, Baby-5 created a mist that enveloped the entire battleship thus limiting everyone's visibility.

Arthur: "Law with Bepo, Sugar with Kuina, Sabo with Koala, Ikaros with Nymph, Robin with Monet, you are preparing to attack the marine warships."

Everyone: "Yes!"

Arthur: ���Robin, you can use your Zoan devil fruit power as long as there are no living witnesses. It's not the time to show our full strength yet. "

Law: "[Room]… [Shamble]"

Sugar: "Kuina come up."

Sabo: "Koala, please help me."

Arthur: "They dare to attack us so they must be prepared to suffer the consequences." Arthur and Hancock sat watching their fight with Kenbunshoku Haki and Baby-5 controlling the fog from behind him.

Hancock: "Don't you want to try your new power, Blood-Blood Fruit?"

Arthur: "I need more time to develop this power. Simply by speeding up my blood flow then I can increase the strength of my body, but after that I will receive a backlash due to exceeding my body's strength limit. I'm not pressed for time to use techniques that can be bad for my body. And they need this battle too."

Law uses his devil fruit power to move with Bepo to their target warship. Sugar and Koala transform into their full Zoan forms to carry their teammate to their respective warship target. Ikaros and Nymph easily flew on their wings. Monet uses [Geppo] and Robin transforms into Siren to fly to the warship their target. It wasn't long before there were screams from here and there.

Law: "Bepo, you take care of the marine at the top deck."

Bepo: "Ay!" Bepo immediately jumped high and gave a dropkick to the marine.

Marines: "ART pirate members Law and Bepo, attack!" The captain of the marine warship who saw Law and Bepo immediately gave orders.

Law: "The operation is ready to start, [Room]… [Kaitengiri]" With the Ope Ope Fruit, Law creates a [Room] and he draws Kikoku for a spinning slash attack.

Marines: "Ah !? I was cut. " The marine around Law was slashed but none of them was dripping with blood.

Law: "[Tact]" Law reattached Kikoku to its sheath and began to use gestures with his hand to make the body parts of the marine float and then combine them randomly.

Marines: "My arm is missing !?"

Marines: "Oi ... those are my legs !?"

Marines: "Where is my body?"

Bepo: "Law is getting better with his devil fruit, I can't lose." Bepo is amazed to see Law's power using his devil fruit.

Marines: "Hey ... this bear can talk !?"

Marines: "If I'm not mistaken, it has a bounty of 500 B."

Marines: "So little !?"

Bepo: "Sorry ..." Before starting to fight, Bepo already felt defeated.

Marines: "It's mental so weak !?"

Bepo: "Arg… !? Wata, Ai, Ai, Aiyah !? " Bepo got up from his depression and started attacking the Marines with his continuous kicks.

Blue Sea level Marines were no longer a challenge for Law after training under Arthur's tutelage. Whereas Kuina with her sword technique was enough to fight the marine but she was overwhelmed by a large number of marine and attacked her simultaneously. Fortunately, there was Sugar who provided support with her long-range shot.

Kuina: "Thank you, sugar." A thank you from Kuina to Sugar for shooting the marine who wanted to attack Kuina from behind.

Sugar: "No problem, I'll be watching your back, so fight as hard as you can." Sugar standing in the air with her Mythical power and used her rifle to defeat the marine.

* Bang Bang *

Marines: "You don't lose to these two little girls."

Marines: "However, captain ... they are very strong."

Marines: "The girl with the sword has flawless techniques and the girl above has a Zoan devil fruit that can fly, our attacks can never hit them."

With cooperation, Kuina and Sugar can overcome their opponents. Arthur and Hancock are ready to help if their Kenbunshou Haki catches something wrong. But Arthur paid the most attention to his two Angeloid fights because it was Nymph's first fight. In the end, Arthur's worries were pointless.

His Angeloid body was very strong, no normal weapon could injure them. Their skins are hard like those of Busoshoku Haki users. Whereas Ikaros and Nymph's devil fruit were perfect for long-range attacks, so they casually flew through the air and launched their attacks.

Nymph: "You insects, how dare you to block the ship belonging to my master." Nymph's harsh words made the Marines lift their heads to look at Nymph and Ikaros.

Ikaros: "Nymph, they are just carrying out their orders. Father's ART pirate group is the bad guy to them. " Hearing the name of the ART pirate group made the captain of the Marine warship aware of their identities.

Marines: "Both of them are members of the ART pirates, ATTACK! The user of cannons and rifles made sure not to aim at other ships because of this fog. Shoot! Shoot! " Their captain's orders prompted the rest of the marine to attack Ikaros and Nymph.

*Bang Bang bang*

Nymph: "Insects, [Paradise Song]." With Voice-Voice Fruit, Nymph fired a high-powered energy sound beam from her mouth strong enough to destroy the deck and mainmast.

Ikaros: "Safety release, [Artemis], fire!" With Weapon-Weapon Fruit, Ikaros can fire many or even hundreds of explosive projectiles from her wings that destroy marine warships.

* Boom Boom Boom *

The level of destruction caused by Ikaros and Nymph's devil fruit was not small. It didn't take long, the warship that they both targeted was destroyed and burned, making the marine jump into the sea to save themselves. Meanwhile, Sabo and Koala need to work hard to beat their opponents using pole techniques and fish-man karate techniques. So that in addition to Baby-5 manipulating the mist, she is also ready to help when someone is having trouble. But with Sabo's Mythical Zoan ability, he can multiply himself with his hair like Monkey King Sun Wukong in legend.

Koala: "[Gyojin Karate: 500 Brick Fist]"

Sabo: "Oh, Koala, you are so good that you can use the 500 Brick Fist now."

Koala: "I'm still far from the captain's 5,000 Brick Fist. You're also getting better at using the [Body Clone] of the Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, Monkey King. "

Sabo: "Your comparison is wrong if you use Captain Arthur. Five clones are my limit now. "

Marines: "Captain, they are both Mythical Zoan devil fruit users."

Marines: "Information on ART pirates does not seem complete."

The stamina and recovery rate of Zoan devil fruit users are certainly notoriously high, so Sabo and Koala were able to overcome their opponents even though it took a longer time. Unlike the others, Robin and Monet did not do frontal attacks.

Robin flew through the air and tested the power of Siren's sound, this time she was able to test her abilities without holding back. There was a marine who lay unconscious, some suddenly danced, some burst out laughing and some were crying. Baby-5 makes sure no one can see Robin in the mist. Monet deployed a lot of [Mark] on the deck of the ship so that she could move quickly and finish off the marine who becomes a victim of Robin's power.

Arthur: "Looks like their training isn't useless, the Blue Sea level marine is no longer a problem for them." Arthur nodded after observing them with Kenbunshoku Haki.

Hancock: "Yes, after this, they will send HQ's marines to chase us. We can't careless."
