//Techno POV//
"Someone who you'd rather not face." I said with a grin forming on my face.
"We'll see about that. I'm guessing your one of the strawhat's crewmates, and that means I will have to eliminate as well." Mr.5 said.
"You can try, but spoiler: You ain't winning." I said confidently. I may be confident in taking these two down but Mr.5's Bomu Bomu No Mi and Ms. Valentine's Kilo Kilo No Mi will be problematic. I'll have to be careful with this because if she increases the mass to a 1000 kilo's and the guy decides to cause an explosion I might screw myself.
I rushed towards Mr.5 deciding that he'll be a greater threat for now. While Ms. Valentine may cause damage, if I'm fast enough I can take her down with a surprise strike. As I got closer I noticed Mr.5 get in position as he put his leg up seemingly ready to make the ground explode. I quickly jumped over his head and tried to take his head off with the "Obliterator" but it was stopped by a blade of grass. I looked around to find Ms. Valentine smirking at me. I didn't have much time to say anything as my momentary distraction led to me being hit by a small explosion and got pushed back.
"""Techno!!""" the three strawhats exclaimed. Ussop and Vivi began running towards me when I signaled them to stop.
" Guys, take Luffy and go help Broggy. I doubt just these two are on the island .If there are, they may have taken Nami so it'd be a good idea to take them down. I can handle these two myself. " I told the two worried pirates.
" You sure Techno?" Luffy asked.
" Yeah. These two clowns won't be much trouble for me captain." I informed him. I may sound cocky and arrogant but I was using this opportunity to rile them up. They seem to have good teamwork so I needed to cause a disturbance in that teamwork to make it easier for me.
" Clowns eh? We'll show you who the clowns are." 5 said with anger in his voice. I didn't say anything as I got into a fighting stance which allowed me to stop any attack from hitting the guys who were behind me.
I then rushed towards 5 again and waited until the very last moment to shift into hybrid mode so that I could use the sudden increase in speed to catch him off guard and thrust my sword forward which was barely stopped by another blade of grass. I quickly followed up with a palm strike to his chest sending him back. I then shifting quickly back into human form.
As I fought the two Baroque works agents the strawhats successfully got luffy out from under the pile of bones he was under and left to go and help the giant.
I went after Valentine hoping to take her down but it seems 5 was already up as he hit me with another explosion which I was able to barely block using the "Obliterator." As I tried getting up I felt a heavy weight on me as I found a rock placed on my chest . It felt like was getting crushed.
"Seeing as you let your friends get away we'll let Mr.3 deal with them. You, however we will crush slowly." 5 said as the weight increased.
"So how does it feel, clown?" He said in a mocking tone. I looked him straight in the eye and smirked at him and said
" Just great dumbass" as I transformed into my beast form which made me grow in size and made the rock which before was giving me pain to be nothing more than an annoyance as I threw it off my body. By switching quickly into human form from hybrid form I didn't give the two enough time to realize I had changed or even if they did to make sure they couldn't know what type of animal I was.
Using this moment of hesitation I rushed towards Ms. Valentine and rammed into her. I then quickly shifted into hybrid form and activated battle instincts and started placing quick palm strikes on her taking her out. Without anytime to waste I rushed towards 5 who had gained his wits and started throwing explosives at me . I strafed past them occasionally while also taking the ones which I couldn't dodge head on. Being in beast mode helped ease the pain. As I got closer he launched one towards my eyes. In order to avoid that I switched into hybrid form and continued rushing towards him and then used the fishing rod to catch him off guard and pull him towards me as I hit him with a punch to the face and then slashed him across the chest finally taking him out.
" Like I said, you clowns aren't that hard to beat." I told the unconscious duo as a smirk formed on my face and then checked on them.
As I confirmed that they were both out cold I got out of hybrid form and into human form and let out a sigh of relief and instantly winced in pain. Maybe taking the explosions head on was a bad idea. I then felt the exhaustion from constantly switching between forms, battle instincts and the pain hit. Thankfully this was a short fight so I haven't gone unconscious yet but I still quickly took out a regen potion which helped lessen the exhaustion and a health potion which ease the pain.
"Should probably go and check on the others." I said to myself as I quickly made my way towards where the giants where.
