Naval Battle El Drago's Crew

The Fiery Battle Blazes On

The Battle for control wages on as the Bounty hunter lands a massive upper cut, but the Devil powered cat catches a break as his fruit spares him from the brunt of the assassins attack. Landing near the microphone he tossed earlier, Drago let's out a massive screech...MEEEEEOOOWWWWW!!! The cat Esq man cried out. This was not a Devil Fruit ability, but another command that was issued to his well trained crew... Tony (the rando pirate that is still DJ'ing quickly changes tracks)


The order that was cried out was "Tabby" aka the abandon ship order. This order basically issued an every man for them selves scenario, as the crew started to run crazily on the deck of the ship as each person was now the master of their own destiny. This order however means something different to Golass and The Hyena Three. The Tabby order tells them to fall back to Drago and await the next order. Golass was in no position to move, but the Hyena Three made their way to the still inflamed battleground and awaited further instruction.

As El Drago fell he contorted his body around as to land on his feet (a cat like trait) as he embraced himself on all fours. After issuing the command, Drago's opponent had hastily launched another attack...

Ice once again rushed Drago going for a Low Kick to the knee

It was as if Ice was a simple minded man, unable to deviate his plan. Like a loose dog, the bounty hunter blindly charged straight on yet again. Despite the opponents lack of skill or ability, he was just soo much stronger that even though his tactics were juvenile they would still work on the disadvantaged prey. Drago received a powerful blow to his knee, probably limiting his future ability to move effectively. However, even though his opponent was faster, he still was so obvious with his simplistic movements that Drago had anticipated the telegraphed attack. The strike would connect with Drago's knee, but the Cat man didn't need to move any more. With his opponent so close, drago brandished his golden nails once more and the moment he was struck at the knee, he fell into his opponent, attempting to strike Ice in the front of his shoulders (the opposite side of the earlier successful strikes) which could result in detrimental damages and even loss of limb functionality if successful.

A Proud Warriors End

With the last of his stamina life and will, the silent proud experienced warrior attempted to drag his opponent to the depths of hell he would surely be confined too. As the imposing warrior took his last opportunity to strike down his opponent...
Luffy. said:

Countering the Golass attack in mid-air wasn't an option here, as Nero instantly gripped his sword defensively in the Glass slash side which connects to Nero sword, hence sending Nero many steps away from Golass direction because of the Attack force. but it was not finished yet, nothing happened at the moment.

yet another failure, the big man collapsed to his knees, due to loss of blood, and his opponent again narrowly escaping harm without a single scratch despite sever ignorant rookie mistakes through this high caliber battle. As Golass starts to colaps he drops his sword and commits to his fate. The proud warrior mutters something under his breath La La La La La La As he is struck with the defining blow...

Luffy. said:

"Lion's Song of Death" Nero a firmly held belief to defeat Golass with his coming attack. Nero swings his sword in a very quick and powerful unsheathe move to slice Golass. Nero Smiled while he said along with the attack "JACKPOT"

The strike renders the warrior lifeless before Nero's feet, Meanwhile all hell is breaking loos on the ship...

Elsewhere On The Ship

The El Drago pirate fodder were now scrambling for their lives, abandoning form and looking after just their own well being, the warriors still fight, but are now unruly and unorganized (also Tony is still D.J.ing)

"With an act begging for fight Sinking into silence, trying to stay quiet." He was expressionless. Not surprised, not sad, not angry – he were merely gazing at the fallen man. Nero sheath his sword on his back, "That was a letdown, I was expecting a few more sparks."

Still, it is only a matter of time for an antagonistic view to manifest. Just as he thought so, Nero turns at his crew side.

"What? They still not finished yet" Nero sighed dispassionately. Nero cut a striking figure with his black hair and piercing eyes.

Need to get the work done. He was already moving as he said it, somehow not feeling so exhausted anymore after his fight against Golass. Nero walked at Hyena Three direction while taking a glance of Ice who was fighting El Drago, and seems to be taking the upper hand.

Nero looked over at Hyena Three with a smirk. "And now it seems I have to fight you three. It's the perfect job for me, don't you think?"

"You people know how to talk? Right?" Nero asked, a smile on his face that looked completely out of place in the middle of battle.

The Cocky Bounty Hunter Gets Over Zealous

High off the adrenaline and endorphins from his recent victory over the strongest swordsmen of the Drago pirates. The bounty hunter Nero made what could only be his last rookie mistake of this mission. The arrogant man having used up more of his stamina than he realizes on one opponent, just challenged three more men of equal strength to a fight, or actually tried to talk to them?
Luffy. said:

"You people know how to talk? Right?" Nero asked, a smile on his face that looked completely out of place in the middle of battle.

The Bounty hunter was lucky the first time, but his stamina and abilities must be weakened after using five named attacks and being locked in combat for longer. Regardless the men he so promptly jumped were named the "Hyena Three" and they shared a few traits with their moniker. Like Hyena the men never stopped laughing, and also like hyena they were opportunistic hunters/scavengers. Knowing their opponent was strong, but tired, the Hyena trio wasted little time engaging the green Bounty Hunter.

Denny: HeHeHeHeHeHe
Danny: HaHaHaHaHaHa
Donny: HoHoHoHoHoHo

The three men laughed as they all charged at Nero, Denny straight on, Donny going around his right, and Danny going to the left. Denny and Donny drew their swords and went for thrusting attacks, while Danny is throwing a hard right punch.

Elsewhere On The Vessel
Now that the Hyena Three are engaged the Bounty hunters numbers will overwhelm the rest of the Drago crew.

Nero had the sudden and absolute certainty that he was now raging for their lives. Current Nero couldn't win in a fight against these three. Not when he already wasted his too much stamina against Golass. They weren't average fighters of the Ship, but they're also not the best fighter.

Nero could not help but smile despite the upcoming difficult fight. There was one more minor thing; he actually finds the Hyena Three outfit funny as he says, "Though a fight every now and again does make life more interesting, don't ya' think? Like you three crazy outfits"

Xatch said:

"Shame that I won't be able to hear you guys side story of your crazy outfits." For a brief moment, Nero would've liked to tell them that they just left their crew to get defeated by Ice crew majority. Unfortunately,

'Where is the fun…'

Well, that was easy enough to understand. They probably gonna realize sooner. So Nero immediately holds hilt of his blade tightly that was hanging to his back, and kicked against the ground with his all remaining strength and leaped up in the backward position to evade the three upcoming strikes.

"Move fast, baby - Don't be slow" Nero uttered loudly in frustration. Nero maintains his sword horizontally above his shoulder of his right arm that was holding the swords, and then Nero starts to perform a circular swing to launch the air compressed projectile spiraling towards the Hyena. To slash him from the distance that uses air itself.

Nero stared at the Hyena three, then looked at his surroundings. His gaze quickly fell at left Hyena and the free space backward where Nero can keep his track to avoid others to and move on further. More accurately, he would obtain a clean strike against One Hyena. He could not waste an opportunity like this.

The exact moment the air slashes about to reached Hyena three. Nero landed at the wooden floor while looking at the left Hyena and the free space to continuously move forward 'If it's just this much, I can take them on.'

In a way, Nero was thankful that his enemies not having good speed as him. If currently someone appeared as fast as Nero, he currently couldn't imagine lasting more than a minute.

Nero used strength to increase his movement speed at max, as speed up at Left Hyena direction 'It can't work all the time, but I'll use it to first check out the situation.'

As Nero moved with full speed at the left Hyena, when he about to reach him he swings his sword in a very quick and powerful unsheathed move to slice his opponent. Nero decides if his attack fails or success to hit he will keep moving forward until he makes an appropriate amount of gape between the hyena and him. His plans weren't the best, but this is all he had.

The knee strike hit Drago but drago grabbed the chance and charged his claws, at that range ice could only move superficially slightly making the impact less damaging then it really should've been. But when the help of a Coat of invisible haki he could weaken the attack even more. The claws still digged into Ice's shoulder while that was happening Ice took the chance to take one of his 4 left daggers and attempted to stab drago in the Neck.
(Probably shouldn't be able to dodge 51 movement speed from point blank range).
(Ice's right shoulder is still movable but not as good as it was)

The Fire Starts To Die Down As The Battle Heats Up

The Fire encircled combatants start to cool down as the flame that Drago spewed earlier starts to die down. Drago's knee gets hit as Ice's shoulders get clawed again, further weakening their usfullness.

The claws still digged into Ice's shoulder while that was happening Ice took the chance to take one of his 4 left daggers and attempted to stab drago in the Neck.

As Ice gets clawed in the shoulder for a second time, his actions slow further and become more noticeable. Despite his superior strength, the wounds and stamina use are actually effecting the bounty hunter. As the entangled two wrestle, Ice brandishes yet another un skilled dagger and drives it at El drago's throat. Despite His opponents superior physique, Drago was still able to notice his opponents strike attempt, and braced for impact. The unskilled strike to Drago's neck plus Drago's superior durability nearly negated the wound. Luckily for Ice, the dagger was successful in piercing Drago's neck, disabling his larynx (aka his DF) but not providing a life threatening wound in the slightest.

As the dagger strikes Drago's throat, Drago jumps back to asses his wound... What did that fool do?... a basic scratch?!?! damn my Df wont work, well time to rely on my claws... Drago though to himself... as the pirate entered a furry like state.... Raw RAW RAWLLLL... The pirate growled as he was now unable to walk properly due to the earlier knee strike. Drago gets on all four's and rushes at Ice.. a few charges in he jumps forward and starts spinning rapidly with his claws extended creating a tornado like spin. Meanwhile hearing the feral cry of El Drago..Tony (the D.J,) once again switches up tracks....

The Bounty Hunter Vs The Hyena Three

As the three men charge from varying directions, The bounty hunter realizes he is in over his head and forms a defensive strategy.
Luffy. said:

This wouldn't evade the strikes, but only delay them.
Luffy. said:

Nero maintains his sword horizontally above his shoulder of his right arm that was holding the swords, and then Nero starts to perform a circular swing to launch the air compressed projectile spiraling towards the Hyena. To slash him from the distance that uses air itself.

Having to widen an attack in order to hit the three men, who were rushing from three angles with space between them all, the spiraling compressed air projectile was significantly weaker than a concentrated single target version would be, that coupled with the fact that Nero has launched many named attacks in his prior battle and surly must be reaching his limit. Denny, Danny, and Donny, all raised their guards and continued too charge forward at Nero accepting the brunt of the weakened damages, which were just superficial flesh wounds, and maybe a loss of a step or two. The Trio continued to charge as Nero foolishly attempts his 7th named attack.
Luffy. said:

As Nero moved with full speed at the left Hyena, when he about to reach him he swings his sword in a very quick and powerful unsheathed move to slice his opponent. Nero decides if his attack fails or success to hit he will keep moving forward until he makes an appropriate amount of gape between the hyena and him

Nero sheathes his sword only to attempt to unsheathe it to create a powerful attack at Donny in hopes of getting past the right most (nero's left) Hyena. The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry. Donny still charging is struck by the blow, but due to Nero's weakened state the attacks and movements are slow and weaker than intended. The strike is successful in delivering a very serious blow to Donny's side, a 4inch laceration that will cause serious blood loss if not dealt with soon. However Nero was not successful in running away so easily from his pack of pursuers. Donny clashes back and attempts to use his body as a means to slow Nero, while Denny and Danny now only a few feet away attempt to continue their strikes from earlier, one wild haymaker punch and a straight stab aimed for the kidney. Both coming from different angles.


The Fodder Battle Rages On

The overwhelming numbers of Bounty Hunters are doing a good job of finishing up the Drago fodder, but could be providing much greater aid if only issued orders or controlled.

Both coming from different angles.

Nero wondered how much he can take now. What would he receive if get hit now? The situation was becoming more and more unbearable by the second. The onslaught of the Hyena too much for Nero to take it now. Nero had injured one of them badly, but their numbers are the main problem. However, attacks becoming more troubling to avoid with Nero current state but he still least be able to avoid getting the stab in his kidney can help him not end the fight at the spot.

Eventually, Nero options were zero at this point he can do nothing but try, Nero moved his sword arm horizontally towards his opponent with all effort he could at the same time he also tried to move at the side, by pushing his blocker, but Nero already almost reached his limit now his effort can make him go on any longer. And the sword attack and punch connected to Nero, tearing his side stomach, it's deep and warm, but not in a nice way. It feels like someone has firmly pressed his organs either lightly or as hard as they can.

It was growing hard to breathe. "Uwaaaaah-!" He felt his consciousness fading. He breathes heavily as he tried to take a few steps back "Huh... I'm afraid that...that's you three little bit more than I can take on right now."

'I'm not going to let it end like this.'

Just how do you think he obtained this opportunity?

No. It would not end here.

He knew what it was like to be at the bottom of the world, and that's why he desired to stand at the absolute peak. More than anyone else, he knew the weak one's pain. He had done things to survive and was met with ridicule in doing so.

He will struggle until the end. It doesn't matter if his health is full or empty. He will fight to the bitter end. Until his bones are dust and his muscles are torn. "Cut me some slack. I'm just not big on numbers."

"Where there's a will, there's a way... Now let's go!" Nero said all that earnestly, For one moment, Nero was caught with the complicated situation in his mind and couldn't make a straight plan for that.

"Pardon my request, but... It doesn't look good for me, so could you guys let these three taste of few gunshots?" Not missing any chance, Nero requested his alliance to give aid, As he himself tried to gain the distance between him and Hyena three he could not just give up like this.

Nice move punk, but I bet you can't see to well now.
Ice quickly took a side step and then threw another knife at him.
(Ice only has one knife left).
Looking over towards Nero, through the flames Ice could see he was out of breath and quite struggling.

he Cat Fight For Control Continues

The Ferocious feline foe flies feverishly forward flashing fangs and a flood of forearm flurries with forehand fury filleting flesh with fluid frustration. The Big cat man flies at Ice wildly as the Bounty hunter keeps his composure and responds in kind.
IceTimeXI said:

The Bounty hunter had managed to evade the attack, but the thrown knife was in vein as due to the high speed of Drago's rotation and his golden alloy armor, the carelessly thrown knife ricochets off and away from Drago. Meanwhile elsewhere on the ship, Tony is still mixing up the 1's and 2's...

As El Drago lands he continues his quadrupedal stance, using his golden nails for extra traction, the large man digs down into the deck of the ship to help turn around and continue his assault on the invading Bounty Hunter. Drago this time is trying to stay low and go for several quick slashes at his opponents ankles, as he attempts to run like a wild cat.

The Scent Of Blood Drives A Hyena Wild

The Tired prey Nero was reaching the final few struggles before his inevitable overwhelming. Having used most of his energy in his bout with Golass and just running on adrenaline. The Bounty hunter found himself in a dismal situation. The Three men known as "Hyena" had cornered their prey and were about to kill like a pack of wild animal. Even though he received a pretty grievous wound, Donny was somewhat succsefull in his attempt to impede Nero, however...

the deflection and evasion were partially successful. Committing to the block, Donny receives another slash wound leaving an opening for Nero to pass by. However, the opening wasn't enough to prevent Denny and Danny from getting their strikes in.
Luffy. said:

The sword strike was successful, but more superficial, than a serious wound, as the haymaker punch connects to the back shoulder of Nero, but seems to do little aside from wrench the opponent slightly.

Still In the blood thirsty mood all three "Hyena" quickly regain composure and start to mount a follow up attack when...
IceTimeXI said:

EVERYONE HELP NERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

An urgent order is issued to the scores of bounty hunters left on the ship. Being well trained it would seem as if the invading bounty hunters would disengage their pursuit of El Drago Pirates in order to flock towards Nero. Since there is a very high probability that this scenario would play out, The hyena three will start to be confronted by numbers that will quickly get out of hand, and this will probably impede their counter attacks, causing them to re-group and evaluate based on what the opponent does next.

"Perfect Timing... Now we're startin' to act like a team."Nero immediately increased the distance. When Ice gave his orders to others. "This ends, right here." Nero sighed and said to himself. It's really hard to end this all.

Nero now, he had obtained a job, or rather something special. His job was still a Hunter, but in a way, he had obtained a special calling called the "madness".

Nero had no regrets. If anything, he was satisfied. Majority of Ice NPC's started their act as they turn at Hyena three side. Nero really wanted to see their capabilities in battle.

'If I knew I was going to be a like this, I would've made fewer mistakes again that big guy' Of course, had he done that, he might not be pleased with it but what done is done.

'I guess, this is all for good' Nero smirked.

Nero sharply turned his head and his eyes met Ice NPC's. The fighters were starting to take their position. Nero shouted at them, "Now"

The ten NPC's fired their gunshots at hyena three. While six NPC's start running at Heyna three side as each of them planning to take Hyena three left and right side and tear them off with their sword. Of course, those NPC's knew that they have no match against hyena three but their teamwork can give them a chance that wasn't present for them.

"Let just seize the opportunity" The NPC's yelled as they became serious.

*Bang x10* ten shots reign out at the three while a group of six rush in from the flanks. With the arrival of the support the Hyena three re-group and stand back to back as to not get blind sided. Several of the 10 shots find their targets, but nothing is vital or more than a few inches deep. The three men rotate as to keep Donny at the back and out of combat for as long as possible since he is the most injured. The three were very used to fighting with each other and moved almost as one instinctual fighter. The flanking squad was met with Denny and Danny and their swords akimbo. Even though the men were not much more tna basic brawlers, the numbers added up. Not able to defend 6 attacks a piece both Denny and Danny receive a few more simple lacerations, as they in unison yell HAWK HYENA WAVE! As they stand shoulder too shoulder their blades are held horizontally in front of them forming an X and a scissor like placement. The two swordsmen in sync rapidly slash out and away from their bodies, finishing with their blades out too their sides. The bi product of this move was a great gust of slicing wind aimed at the six swordsmen that is proficient at knocking down weaker opponents. Meanwhile Donny is watching the flank, hoping not too many more come to battle.

A Hellish Growl Cries Out From The Fire

Back up at the battle for control, a shadow can be seen emerging from the fire, and a low death inspired growl can is made audible. El Drago, now baptized in flame, his armor glowing red, and fur burning walks out from the hellscape, and out into the light. With one more painful growl he starts to run towards Ice, The Hell Cat is a dead man if he stays like that for too much longer, and his body only being controlled by blood lust and what little adrenaline he has left. Nearing death levels of exhaustion, El Drago is content on dragging ice to hell with him. As the man charges drops of melting gold are left behind as the temperature of Drago's body is exceeding the alloys melting point. Drago dives forward into quadruped stance and using all extremities launches himself at Ice attempting to tackle him and burn him with flame and molten gold.

Nero bit his lips. After all, 6 of their comrades had fallen to the Hyena three. To think that he'd ask the others to help him before it understandably invited so they can face the death any moment of recklessness.

'More importantly…'

There was no solid proof of his guesses. Only a gut feeling. One could not easily explain or put to words what he felt through instinct but he knew it's a good opportunity to launch another full-scale attack against Hyena three.

While he was lost for words, someone spoke up: "WE'RE NOT FINISH YET!!!"

That phrase reached the others' ears with a great weight. The voice came from 9 running hunters towards Hyena three to not let them kill their comrades. The Nero's eyes turned toward the 9 NPC's who had spoken and taking their action holding there sword aiming directly at Heyena three front.

Nero shook his head. 'This should do it.'

And then there was one. Himself. Nero faced the Hyena three and 9 running NPC's,

"Oh, ooh?"

Nero who noticed around 20 to 25 NPC's stayed to fight EL Drago remaining members of the crew, While others were ready to help Nero in a dire situation.

Nero's expression hardened as NPC's about to reach Hyena three. With each step they took, it holds the weight of the situation. Nero gazed at the sky and frowned.

"Fuck you!" The Nero gasped in surprise. As if it was satisfied by the situation. All other sounds disappeared, only his target voice was heard in the place. Gaining opportunity from the apparent result, Nero put all the strength in his legs, merely expecting for the moment other hunters land their attacks in Hyena three and then he abruptly lands his final blow to finish them off

As expected, there was no choice....but to grab every possible opportunity.

The large man proceeds too perform a rear naked choke hold that restrains and burns his opponent. The fire and molten gold alloy starts to spread too his opponent to hold the heat and increase the damages. El Drago is on the cusp of losing consciousness, but still being driven by piss and vinegar the large man attempts to use his fanged mouth and bite into the back of his opponents neck from his disadvantaged position.


Opportunistic Predators Hunt Smell Burning Flesh

Denny Danny and Donny having basically subdued Nero (pushed him too his physical limits) to the point that he is no longer a big threat. (if he tries to engage the three or any fodder he is likely to die since he has no support.) As the Bounty hunters that invaded the Drago Flagship stand around idly due too lack of control. The Hyena three finish up the fodder they faced last turn by simply stabbing the uncontrolled bodies, and then jump the fleeting fire circle to help El Drago finish off Ice....

As Drago fell to his near death...

Denny Danny and Donny having basically subdued Nero (pushed him too his physical limits) to the point that he is no longer a big threat. (if he tries to engage the three or any fodder he is likely to die since he has no support.) As the Bounty hunters that invaded the Drago Flagship stand around idly due too lack of control. The Hyena three finish up the fodder they faced last turn by simply stabbing the uncontrolled bodies, and then jump the fleeting fire circle to help El Drago finish off Ice....

Denny And Donny Being the first to get into range both launch basic lunges at the Bounty Hunters stomach with their cutlass. Denny coming from Ice's 12, and Danny from 3 O' clock. Meanwhile Donny attempts to put the fire out on his captain by snuggling up as the "big spoon"

Elsewhere On The Ship

The Bounty hunters continue to stand around with no lack of direction, and get slaughtered eight too zero. Meanwhile Nero Is being left alone to his own devices as he is no longer engauged by the Hyena Three.

Even the fighter would want to "take a break". Like Nero who has been out of his stamina, and injured too. And - needless to say - In this situation, one never gets a break as long as there they're not out of it.

Nevertheless, the fight was still ongoing, Nero was just out of the picture for a while. He observes the Ice fight against EL Drago, and at times, the El Drago seems to be in his last legs.

He had been stabbed by hyena three, and unable to carry his fight any longer. Miraculously, there were no significant injuries to any internal organs. Nero's face formed a sickly, bitter smile as he imagined leaving the wound without tying up. Upon thinking this far, it looked as though the Hyena three seems to be also engaging in the fight against Ice.

"Eh, that's not a fair fight! Well, there is really nothing fair in the fight against pirates, Ahh?"

Even though he showed a smile on the outside, inside, Nero was far from serene. Naturally, he was still feeling pain from the wound, but it was the condition of the current situation that brought that man's face back into his mind.

Everything that Nero had caused before he had been stabbed floated into his mind. Using his stamina in the big margin, while really trying to get rid of that Golass hindrances.

He understood that what he did, fight back, this was simply his way of living. It was not, however, his entire goal in life. In his own way, in a way that only he could appreciate.

Now then, I wonder what should I do... Nero smiled, The injury to his stomach throbbed in sync with his rising heartbeat, but even that pain was only serving to spice up the situation even further for him right now. Even Nero was finally starting to feel drowsy, However, it's not the time for that. His fate was depended in these final fights.

Nero went and said it... "It's frustrating!"

The fire on ice was scorching his body, he had to jump into the water. He got the hot man off of him and jumped into the water cooling down his body. At this point Ice's stamina was depleting he had been injured and had around 25% energy left. While el drago was most likely defeated he still had to go conquer the rest of the ship. Knowing this Ice got the fire off of him and grabbed the ship and started climbing back up.

The Lion Sleeps... For Now...

The emblazoned battle for control keeps getting weirder. Tony is still however killing it on the 1's and 2's...

Ice had got caught up in up the Hell cats blaze that he again blatantly ignored incoming strikes...

Before the Bounty hunter was able to escape the blaze and deck of the ship, He suffered two stab wounds to the stomach then...

With a sudden reprieve in Combat Donny was successful in putting out the fire that had engulfed El Drago and stabilized him best he could. The smell of burnt hair and seared flesh was nauseating, as The large feline mans body smoldered, and as he struggled to breathe. Sleep now my prince.. Donny whispered as he stood up and got back into formation to protect the captains unconscious but still clinging too life body.

The Hyena Three all stood back too back forming a Triangle awaiting another attack from Ice...

Denny: Be ready for anything, I don't know if this bastard is gone for good
Danny: Who the hell does he think he is?
Donny: I'm Gonna kill him for what he did to the captains beautiful fur!
Denny: Cut the Chatter and Pay attention! This guy is seriously a threat!
All Three Together: YOSH!


Elsewhere On The Ship

The Bounty hunters are still left with no instruction, or descriptions on what to do and continue to get slaughtered. Nero can only stand back and watch the senseless violence caused by an arrogant man. What should have been a routine simple operation has turned into a bloodbath shit show, and despite his best efforts the Rookie cant risk intervening yet due to his fatigue from earlier.
