Monkey D. Dragon

Looking at the gigantic boulder of ice falling towards their ship, some members of the Straw Hat Pirates falls to the ground with their eyes filled with hopelessness.

"H...how can we escape that thing" Nami and Chopper whispered at the same time. Even Usopp who was severely injured didn't know what to do at this moment.

The marine in front of them were just too strong for their current strength. They didn't stood a chance against a single marine. This clearly wounded their pride as they've always win in every situation that happened before them in the past.

"Damn! Damn! Damn! I will not let you hurt my friends and destroy my ship!" Straw Hat Luffy, the captain of the ship screamed not wanting to give up. "Zoro! Sanji! Help me destroy that thing"

"Alright!" the two answered their captain immediately.

"Gomu Gomu no Storm!"

"Enbima Yonezu Oni Giri!"

"Anti-Manner Kick Course!"

The three execute one of their strongest moves to stop the giant ice from destroying their ship.

But even with that, it was clearly not effective. Because of how hard the ice is, they didn't even take away a chip of ice from the giant boulder. Their combined attack only shook it for a moment.

Luffy not believing that the giant ice won't be destroyed, he continues to let out a barrage of punches towards it. His knuckles were already red from the blood coming out, and his bones were slowly breaking.

Floating in the sky, Touma suddenly felt a strong wind coming towards him. His brows suddenly knitted and he turn to the direction where the wind was coming.

There, Touma see a man covered in cloak floating in the air just like him. He could clearly feel that the man was powerful just by the momentum coming out from his body. Then the man wave his hands and a very strong gust of wind comes from him and was directed towards the huge ice boulder.

"You are?!" Touma's voice was deep and anyone could feel that he was very upset right now. Because the man who just arrived slightly moves the direction where the boulder of ice was falling and crashes to the empty sea just near the ship.

Splash!

Towering pillar of water exploded when the huge ice boulder sinks into the sea. With the force coming from the explosion, the Straw Hat Pirate ship were pushed away by the waves.

"Still young and you're already very ruthless. You really live up to your name when you were still a small marine in the West Blue" the man wearing a cloak said with his deep voice.

Touma frowned when he heard the man's words. It was clear that the other party knows him a bit. So he become even more curious on who is this man who just intervene in his fight. "Who are you and why did you interfere in my business"

Hearing Touma's question, the laugh came out from the man's mouth before he took off the hood covering his face.

When Touma sees the face of the man, surprised were written on his face. But it quickly disappears and an understanding expression surfaced in his face. Because he realized that the man in front was Monkey D. Dragon. Touma understands that as Luffy's father, there is no chance that Dragon would just leave his son without letting someone watch him.

"Looks like you're quite in a rush in coming here. Does you care for your son is really that deep?" a scornful tone came out from Touma's mouth as he asked Dragon.

"When someone told me that the marines personally sent you here. I already know that there is a very high chance that you will encounter them. That's why I immediately rush here knowing that something bad would happen if they fight against you" Dragon just casually replied while staring directly at Touma's eyes.

'This young man is very dangerous, if I came a little bit too late. All of them would already be drowned in the sea' Dragon thought. Then his eyes turn to the single sword hanging from Touma's waist. 'Why am I having a dangerous feeling from that sword'

"Oi, where did you get that sword?" Dragon shouted while pointing towards the sword hanging in Touma's waist.

"This?" Touma take the sword hanging from his waist and draws it from its sheath. The cold blade was now exposed and a very dangerous and dark aura was coming from it. "Do you want to try it?"

Staring at the blade in Touma's hands, the dangerous feeling that he had earlier suddenly intensifies. Unknowingly, Dragon took a step back and swallowed his saliva back to his throat. He felt that if he receives a cut from the blade, there is something bad that would happen to him.

While there was no move between the two, a marine ship was slowly approaching them.

"Dragon, why is he here" in the ship, Captain Smoker said softly as he look at Dragon's figure from the distance. He first met him at the Loguetown when he was about to capture Straw Hat Luffy. Then his eyes darted to the other man who was wearing a marine clothes. "Who's that man?"

"Rear Admiral Touma" a woman standing beside Smoker with straight, waist-length pink hair and has dark brown eyes and wears red lipstick said. Like Smoker, she was also another Captain of the marines, Captain Hina.

"Rear Admiral Touma?" Smoker asked.

"Several months ago, a young captain from the West Blue was escorted back to the Marine Headquarters to take a promotional test. Which he passed, and now he was a Rear Admiral. But even if he was young, his strength is really great and he was also trained personally by Vice Admiral Garp" while holding a cigarette from her hands, Hina said to Smoker who were oblivious of what was happening in the headquarters for several months.

Dragon noticing the arrival of another marine vessel knew that he had to retreat now. If not, he might get entangle with this marines and it would definitely delay him even more. "Your friends is already here, looks like I need to go now. I hope that you won't chase them for now"

Touma just sneered as Dragon retreats away. The Straw Hat ship is already away, although it won't be difficult for him if he chase it. There were still important things that he needed to do. The Kingdom of Alabasta now needs to be stabilized, and he doesn't have enough time to chase some pirates. Because he knew that he will meet them again in the future, so he would just wait for that time to happen.

He then goes to Hina's ship and listens to the events they reported about what happened in the Kingdom of Alabasta.

Touma then meets with King Nefertari Cobra and her daughter Nefertari Vivi about what happened. He also inquired more information about the Baroque Works and all the things that Crocodile did with the organization.
