Nyx and Mihawk vs Rino

Rino continued to watch the black dragon flying above them in circles with wary eyes.

'Is it only letting us live because it doesn't wanna destroy the ship? If that's the case then as soon as we touch the ground then...' Rino for the first time stopped looking at the dragon and stared at his soldiers.

'Wait a minute, can it be?' Rino quickly leaped off the tip of the ship toward all his men who arrived on the sandy shore.

As soon as Rino stepped on the sandy ground, his senses flared with danger.

"WAI-" Rino tried to warn his marines but it was too late.

Boom!

A large explosion went off under all the marines and a large cloud of smoke encased the beachy shore.

"AHHH!!"

"SIR-!"

"FUCK!"

Screams could be heard inside the cloud of smoke before it suddenly went silent.

The cloud of smoke dispersed and only one man could be seen.

Rino's eyes widened as he looked around himself.

'They're gone!? No.. The ground caved in under them and they all seemed to be trapped.' Rino calmed down once noticing with Observation Haki that they were just in a hole in the ground.

Rino quickly jogged over to the large hole and as he looked down, he noticed over 100 of his marines over 100 feet in the ground.

Some seemed conscious, while others seemed to be unconscious.

"It's Rear Admiral Rino!" One of the marines exclaimed as they pointed up at him.

Others started to feel relieved once noticing their leader was alive and well.

"Guys! Do not panic! Just figure a way out of there and I'll handle the enemy up here!" Rino exclaimed.

The soldiers nodded and started to plan a way to get out there.

Rino himself immediately moved away from his soldier's location and made space for the battle he was about to partake in.

As he was about 500 feet away from his soldiers, he noticed the black dragon finally making a move.

It dived straight down toward him at full speed.

Rino noticed the dragon opening it's mouth as it got closer.

Purple light started to emerge from the depths of the black dragon's mouth until suddenly a purple beam raced out of its mouth toward Rino.

Rino immediately was about to dodge but noticed the purple beam exploded mid-air and the dragon dived into the black smoke caused by it.

Suddenly the black dragon disappeared and the black smoke disappeared.

'Where did it go!?' Rino frantically glanced around until suddenly feeling a presence behind him.

"Looking for me?"

Rino snapped his head around as he heard a calm voice.

"You're the black dragon?" Rino questioned with narrowed eyes as he stared at the individual in front of him.

Nyx was wearing his usual outfit as he stood there with his hands in his pockets, seeming like passerby.

"Black Dragon huh? Maybe that wouldn't be a bad name for me." Nyx smirked at the name, it was quite simple but had a powerful meaning behind it.

Once Rino confirmed his suspicion of the individual in front of him, he spoke once again.

"Thank you for allowing my men to live. I know you could have shot at us but allowed us to live, while the same can't be said for the others, I still appreciate the mercy..." Rino suddenly thanked Nyx with a determined gaze.

"Well that wasn't the reason I let them live but I'll take it." Nyx winked, he was slightly surprised at Rino's reaction but understood that not all marines are bad.

"Well regardless of my gratitude, I must defeat you and save my men!" Rino suddenly dashed towards Nyx with his fist heading toward his face.

Once Nyx noticed this, his eyes slightly narrowed but he simply parried the punch to his left with his left hand.

And immediately counter-attacked with a right uppercut punch directly toward the man's chin.

Bam!

As Nyx's uppercut landed on Rino's chin, he was launched away and fell on his back over 10 meters away.

Nyx had a blank face as he looked down at his smoking right hand.

'That definitely hurt me more than it did him, it also seems like he deliberately took that punch. It seems he truly is dangerous.' Nyx inwardly thought as he noticed the Rear Admiral immediately got back up.

"Not bad kid, your pretty young but got a good righty. I assumed you just abused your devil fruit powers and had no actual technique but seems I was wrong. I apologize, I'll take you seriously from now on." The aura around Rino changed as he cracked his knuckles and slowly walked toward Nyx with a smile.

"I might lose to you even if I was in my hybrid form, it seems your not too bad. But the thing is..." While Nyx was speaking, Rino noticed a figure suddenly speed past him and appear beside Nyx.

"I'm not alone." Nyx smirked as Mihawk stood beside him with his silver katana drawn.

Rino narrowed his eye's at the sudden appearance of the newcomer.

'He seems just as strong as the Black Dragon, this indeed might be troublesome.' Rino pondered on how he should beat them but decided to just give them a simple beating.

"What took you so long?" Nyx questioned as he glanced at Mihawk.

"I had to prepare all our stuff for departure and then I had to engage the traps for our guests. Hmph." Mihawk coldly snorted at the tasks he was doing while Nyx was having all the fun.

"Yeah, yeah, let's just beat this guy and be careful I'm not sure if he has a devil fruit or not." Nyx ignored Mihawk's attitude and watched the Rear Admiral who seemed to be waiting for them.

"Tsk, let's do this." Mihawk eye's turned cold once they landed on the Rear Admiral.

"You guys seem to be quite confident, I'll have to teach you youngsters some lessons. Who knows maybe you'll join the navy once realizing your mistakes." Rino amusedly looked at the two who seemed completely confident.

Nyx and Mihawk ignored his words before suddenly launching at Rino simultaneously.

Rino grinned as Mihawk appeared in front of him first with his sword aimed for his chest.

Rino didn't attempt to dodge and punched directly against Mihawk with his bare fists.

Clink!

As if it hit Metal, Mihawk's eye's widened as his sword was stopped by Rino's bare knuckles.

Mihawk immediately calmed down and got into a fist vs sword battle.

Mihawk would slash as Rino would punch, and they would continuously clash until Mihawk noticed his sword was cracking which momentarily made him distracted.

Rino quickly took advantage of this and slipped his punch past Mihawks sword toward his face.

'Huh?' Rino noticed a smirk on Mihawks face as Mihawk dodged to the right.

Nyx immediately appeared in Mihawk's position but was crouched and sent a punch from below, toward Rino's abdomen.

Rino immediately adjusted his form and brought his arms down to block the punch.

Bam!

Even though Rino blocked the punch, his grounding became off because of the power.

Nyx took advantage of this and started sending a flurry of punches toward Rino, who was surprisingly holding his own, blocking punches and even counter-attacking but Nyx was slowly overpowering him.

Mihawk suddenly appeared beside Nyx and side-kicked Rino who was sent flying over 100 meters.

Bam!

"Nice job bro." Nyx put his hand out beside him for a fist bump.

"Like always." Mihawk slightly smiled as he bumped his fist with Nyx.

But they both became on guard once noticing a slightly battered Rino appeared back in front of them.

Spitting out blood he spoke.

"It seems I'm still underestimating you two, I didn't wanna seriously hurt you two since you were kids. But I need to go to my men." If one looked closely it seemed as if steam was coming off his body and his body seemed to have bulged a little.

"Be ready, this might hurt."

Rino instantly appeared infront of both of them, Nyx reacted faster and pushed Mihawk out of the way.

Nyx immediatley sent a multitude of punches but they were constantly being dodged, until Rino decided enough was enough and caught one of Nyx's punches and sent a powerful punch infused with Haki directly against his face which sent him flying over 50 meters.

Mihawk appeared behind Rino with glaring eye's, Rino promptly reacted and clashed against Mihawk's sword with his fists.

Crack!

Mihawk's sword cracked even more until it broke in half.

Rino took advantage of this weakness and grabbed Mihawk by the collar of his shirt and slammed him into the ground, Rino attempted to punch the Mihawk on the ground but Mihawk quickly rolled out of the way and backed up toward Nyx who was approaching calmly.

"Will you give up now?" Even though Rino asked, he knew they wouldn't give up.

"What are you? Senile? Mihawk let's go." Nyx smirked as the atmosphere around him and Mihawk changed.

Nyx's body slowly transformed into gray skin with red eyes and horns protruding from his spine and arms.

Mihawk picked up one half of his katana from the ground and put it ontop of the other half, a black aura surrounded it until it magically melded together, then his entire sword turned black with a powerful aura surrounding it.

'Haki of that level at that age!? They weren't going all out!?' Rino exclaimed inwardly.

"It seems he has a devil fruit that increases his overall physical attributes, quite an easy ability. Shall we?" Mihawk had a small smirk before he and Nyx sped like a blur toward Rino.

Nyx and Mihawk attacked Rino with a multitude of techniques, as he was holding his own but was slowly losing as more and more punches/slashes were hitting him.

Until Nyx suddenly landed a solid punch onto Rino's face, that cracked the ground below them for hundreds of meters.

Rino was sent flying but they weren't finished.

Mihawk lunged after the launched Rino and sent one final thrust with all his power directly against Rino's body.

A powerful beam of green haki was launched against Rino's body as his body got dragged even further as he continued to tumble against the sandy ground.

Mihawk and Nyx glanced at each other before approaching Rino's body.

They noticed he seemed to be unconscious laying on the ground his suit was in tatters and his sunglasses were nowhere to be seen, once they were a few feet away, they noticed one of his hands twitch.

Instinctively, Nyx quickly kicked Rino on the side of the jaw.

"Just to make sure because that was pretty quick." Nyx chuckled as he noticed the Rear Admiral didn't react to the kick.

"Come on let's hold him and take him back toward his men. I left some sea stone handcuffs there when I first came here." Mihawk spoke as he picked up Rino.

Nyx helped him and they both held one arm as they dragged him back toward the others.

"Let's see how his men are doing." Nyx had a devilish smile on his face as he spoke.
