K**g K**g vs R*d L**n!!

At the port of Skull Island people were bustling around going on with their daily lives. Skull Island was a major trade center due to the large number of ships that stop by the island, although most of them are pirate ships. This is the Great Pirate Era, it would be surprising if there is a lack in the number of pirates.

So when the people at the port noticed a ship sailing towards the island flying a black flag they weren't too alarmed and continued on busying themselves. Some of the sharp eyed ones noticed that the flag depicted a skull they haven't seen before and guessed that this must be a new crew of pirates. The black flag depicted a skull with horns and a hannya mask covering the lower half of the face and instead of the regular cross-swords or cross-bones, it was a pair of lamps crossed behind the skull.

Soon the ship reached the port and was anchored and two individuals exited from it to the docks. A tall male with blue hair and pretty female sporting locks of dark red.

Nate followed by Rin walked over to a nearby local and asked him few questions.

"Hello, Could you point me to the direction of a store that would have navigation equipment?" asked Nate

Although the man was wary of these two, he still pointed towards a direction and spoke.

"If you take this road straight and then right, you will end up in the city plaza where on the left side is a store that sells items like those.

Nate thanked him and went towards the city plaza with the direction he was given. Rin like usual silently followed while she observing town and the people in it.

<<<Marine Base>>>

"Sir, we have spotted the captain of the aforementioned pirate crew on the island." a young marine informed the Captain and Commander of the Base.

"What about rest of his crew?" asked Capt.Kong

"Sir, he was accompanied by a women and we haven't seen any of the other members of the crew as of yet."

"And their ship?"

"It is currently docked at the port. We have already sent forces to capture it."

"The bounty hasn't been published yet right? Good… I will destroy this new crew of pirates before they become a menace." stated the captain as he marched out of the Base followed by many marines.

<<<City Plaza>>>

Rin was currently going through different types of parchment paper and ink that the store had for sale. Rin's job as navigator also included charting and drawing maps which required new materials, there is only so much she could do with the old left over that she took from the island. They left Soma and Sasaki behind at the docks to watch over their ship and Nate was currently outside the store checking out the city plaza and the different shops here.

Many things have changed for her from the fateful day she was rescued by Nate. She has grown stronger, way stronger than she could have imagined and found a purpose in life to live for. No longer was she a broken doll awaiting death, instead she had become a fearsome warrior that will bare it fangs towards whatever that tries to harm Nate and his crew.

Having finished purchasing the equipment and a spare log pose that she needed. Rin left the store and was about to search for Nate when she heard loud noises coming from the plaza. Knowing that Nate might be the one responsible, she sharpened her senses to find him.

She was soon able to discern the exact location and the presence of Nate with the help of her enhanced senses rushed off to meet him.

Meanwhile, Nate who was wandering around at the plaza was suddenly surrounded by group of marines led by huge man wearing a captain's coat. All of the civilians started to move out of the plaza seeing that a confrontation was about take place between the marines and a pirate.

"You are under arrest, pirate." stated Capt.Kong

"Hmm.. Looks like I am surrounded." said Nate calmly as he observed the marines surrounding him "I am guessing you are the captain of the base here."

"Indeed, I am Captain Kong. What is your name pirate?"

"Nate, Walker D. Nate."

Just as he finished speaking, a figure moving at extreme speeds slammed into the circle of marines throwing them around like leaves in wind.

Rin arrived right next to Nate carrying a bag, and on her trail was multiple marines lying about incapacitated.

"Hey Rin. Finished shopping?" asked Nate

"Yes, got all that's needed."

"Alright then. Go ahead to the ship. I will come back once I have cleaned up hear." said Nate while shifting his focus back to Kong who was watching Rin warily.

"No." replied Rin as she handed over the bag to Nate.

"What?! Why?" Nate asked surprised as he received the bag.

"I will handle this." said Rin as she moved forward to face Kong "I haven't gotten much chance to test out the results of the training yet. You can return to the ship, I will be there shortly"

Nate pondered for second and accepted her request, since he was already familiar with her strength.

"None of you will be leaving!" exclaimed Kong as his body started to transform. He grew taller and his body was covered in fur with ripped muscles and abs. A gigantic prehistoric ape of 8 meters stood in front of the Nate and Rin.

"I have ate the Saru Saru no Mi: Model- King Kong. An ancient Zoan devil fruit, you two will not be able to escape from me and will face JUSTICE!!" voice of Kong was rougher and scabrous.

As Rin saw Kong transform into a giant ape, she stepped forward taking a stance with her left arm in front and her right arm pulled back to her side next to her face while slight dropping her center of gravity with her legs tensed. This was the basic stance used the Rulers of the Dark Continent; Fanalis, descendants of the Red Lions.

"See ya soon." said Nate as he saw her shift into that iconic stance and then he vanished in a flash of lightning.

Although extremely surprised at the fact that Nate has disappeared so suddenly, Kong focused all his attention on the women in front of him as his enhanced senses screamed at him of the danger that she posed as soon as she entered her weird stance. He trusted his senses that were granted to him by his devil fruit as it has already saved his lives many times before.

After few seconds of studying her opponent, Rin lunged forward at tremendous speeds while Kong having noticed the change rushed in with his huge body granting him massive strength.

A clash of titans was about to erupt!!!

(KING KONG VS RED LION!!!!)
