The Orc Pirates are a pirate crew of orcs. They travel the seas, pillaging and burning everything in their path. Due to their inhuman strength and inhuman nature, they are feared as monsters. They sail on a ship that is utterly massive, and though it doesn't have any sophisticated weaponry, it does host thousands of aggressive orcs.
It was a sunny day that had the clouds dispersed with the colour sky blue coating the skies like a huge carpet. Meanwhile the oceans below were calming and soothing with winds that were gentle of today. It was like mother nature was saying it was calm before the storm that was to occur in the upcoming hours if not day.
A sturdy young man with long blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. Whilst donning a champion light blue tunic with my sword placed on my back sheathed, with beige looking jean trousers and brown boots. I stood upon the dock, stood alone keeping a sharp eye of the events that would be before me, that i would witness. Today was a different day than normal. No longer i was stationed at a desk to support families of marines that lost loved ones in the name of duty. But today i was given full authorisation pending an agreement that i became a fully fledged marine officer.
Metallic thud, thud and thud could be heard as a man would approach walking up to the front of the ship. It was a blue-haired, red-eyed man whose primary outfit is a deep ultramarine full body tights. Grey metalic pauldrons, and a metal plate over his lowest abdominal section. He wears his hair in a rattail that reaches his mid-back. He also wears a pair of silver earrings.
As another approached though the blue haired man named Cu Chulainn approached my left side another came from the right side. Snowy rose pink hair tied up into a bun, having long bangs that flare over her face. With her piercing aquatic blue eyes with streaks of red like aquatic leaves, not of those of a person that is simply in a trance of death. Having fair skin like most other girls but possesses a heart-warming smile. Supporting an athletic yet curvy figure, donning a detailed kimono with her scabbards placed at her hips thanks to a hash that is tied to her waist. Her name was Velvet Arakano.
I'd take a quick glance at the two of them, " Our target is not that far away, so get yourselves ready " with Velvet's soft voice speaking up " Why did you pick the Orc Pirates? " with a cocky voice speaking up after a little chuckle " It's been a while since i've let loose "
" Why them? ... I am sure we was all promised something in capturing the pirates? Though it was Orc Pirates or someone else like the World Pirates or Trickster Pirates. So how about we capture them and we go from there, huh "
With the two smiling, temporarily agreeing with my response with both then asking why the pacifista was with them. " Benefits of being someone with the unofficial rank of Vice Admiral. Besides keeping paper format bounties are part of the past, so why not make use of them with their automated bounty tracker "
We was roughly an hour or two away from reaching our destination, the Orc Pirates were marked and targeted. They didn't know this but who was on their trail was a question.

"Why are we going so damn slow"!? "Because there's not much wind sadly" "Which should be bloody obvious" "You're rude!" "My brother is probably just cranky from lack of food, if you're bored, why don't you try cooking him something so he'll feel better? He loves your food so much..." "Really!?" "No... That is not necessary, please don't trouble yourself for me." "Now now brother... Do not be modest. Just the other night you pointed out that you had not eaten Shion's food in a while". "Let us go Benimaru"!
Benimaru cried inwardly in despair as Shion whisked him away towards the kitchen to feed him. Shuna stood looking towards him with a chilly smile on her face. Content that she had suitably chastised him for being curt with Shion. Shuna went to the railing and looked out towards the sea far below her. The ship they, the Orc Pirates sailed was a massive vessel.
Sigh... We need to find a ship to rob, at this point tempers will only worsen.
After 3 days of sailing the target was in sight, the men manned the ship scurrying around the ship for the last few days. The four vassals that i was overlooking for the entire 3 days of sailing simply stuck in their rooms to preserve every inch of energy. Velvet would be sat on the floor in her room practicing the art of medidation with her sword balanced over her lap. Whereas Cu would be in his room sat on a chair with a bottle of whisky pondering when he will get the chance to run wild soon. ' I'm getting bored, i really need to steam off '. This was his instinct of battle that drove him. Leon wouldn't be in his room but he was in the room of the pacifista, he laid his eyes on the war machine. Meanwhile Marko would be in a waterbed dozed off snoring out loud, unprepared for what was to come.
In present time, i'd walk on the deck headed back to the front of the ship as a scout that had the binocular's would sight a ship immediately alerting those below on the deck of the upcoming possible interaction. I was ready for what was to come, i pursued the Orc Pirates so i didn't have to sit there writing a report. Helping out the families of the loved ones that perished in the line of duty. My motivation to stop Orc Pirates was more than most, it brought me to clench my fists. Like the Brutalizing and Assassin Pirates, thugs of the ocean like most pirates they needed to be apprehended.
A bell would ring as Cu threw himself off his chair grabbing and clenching his spear " Finally " as Velvet opened her eyes sheathing her sword and walking out. Leon's ears would resonate with the sound then look at the direction of where the bell was sounding. Meanwhile Marko stayed sleep napping. " Fiiishhhhyyy, coomee heerrree "
Three of the four would walk outside of the cabins making their way to the deck. I'd be standing before them. " Leon wake that lazy ass up now " ordering Leon who'd salute and make his way to Marko's room.
" So for now it's me and you two. Let's deal with these interlopers of the oceans " turning around as the two would stand beside me shoulder to shoulder. The two would nod smiling at one another.
"Seems like a storm is coming" Shouts erupted from the crow's nest. The message got taken up by the nearest orc and sent forth through a predetermined line of communication. This way, news traveled quickly aboard the ship. Shuna heard the message while she was standing atop the stairs leading up to the rudder, her face flushed with a vague unease as she cast her gaze towards a grouping of dark clouds that was blowing towards the ship. Soft peals of thunder could be heard in the distance. Not good... I don't like this. "Souei? Where are the others"
"Mistress Shuna, Benimaru is a little farther along the deck, he is standing with both hands clutching the railing. He has only very recently stopped losing the contents of his stomach. It seems Shion's cooking 3 days ago did quite a number on him this time. Shion is in the galley, it seems she has gotten it into her head that she should cook for all of us... Bless her generous heart... The last couple of words were spoken with an undercurrent of sheer terror. Shuna felt a shiver crawl down her spine. "And Hakurou"?"He is taking a short rest in his sleeping quarters, he was up all night drilling several of our men, hence why so many of them are bruised. A delighted sound of laughter escaped Shuna's lips before she could stop herself. That silly man, he is working himself ragged, I wish he would be less harsh with himself, he is not a young orc anymore. "Please stop Shion if you can Souei... There is a storm coming and it would simply not do for us all to be retching by the ship's railing. "I will rush over immediately mistress Shuna".
Shuna nodded at Souei and she watched him walk away and disappear into the crowd.
"Ship spotted behind us!" Shuna's head swung around so fast her neck ached. There, in the distance, a formidable ship could be seen. For whatever reason, it was gaining on them fast. I have a bad feeling about this...As shouts rang up all around her, Shuna stood with a worried frown on her face.
"About damn time... Turn the ship around! Our coffers will be filled, tonight men!" Shuna watched as her brother, Benimaru sidled up next to her with excitement pouring off him.
Finally the two spotted one another, tension rose as who would make the first strike now. As whoever strikes first has the moment of surprise but since the two ships sighted one another that factor had passed. Cu who'd stood beside me would smile at the thought of a battle with the Orc Pirates. Yet, Velvet wasn't thinking of the possibility of battle but more so the consequences of having so many marines put in harms way. This was also a very similar though of mine. ' I can't allow none of these crewmen be put at harms way '
I'd raise a command and order to the men " All of you hands on deck then withdraw, we are about to go to war. " i'd roar out to alert everyone on the ship. The news was spread over the ship though there was another command with this one issued by Velvet for the immediate summoning of Leon and Marko to protect and provide cover. " Get Marko and Leon to protect the ship and provide support! "
Whereas Cu, inpatient would immediately launch himself to the forefront of the ship taunting the Orc Pirates " Come you lazy so good for nothing pests. Bring it! "
" Tcchhh " would just come out as a reaction following Cu's antics. Then i'd stay silent remembering how long have i been providing support for the families who have lost loved one's in the name of active and non-active duty. Bulge of vein would throb around the hand and side of the temple, becoming inpatient myself would follow suit to Cu though pushing Cu out the way. " Link? " would leave the confused Velvet's mouth.
Reaching to grip onto my handle of the sword, unsheathing as the sound of a metal colliding could be heard pointing the sword at the direction of the Orc Pirates ship. Then turning towards to my left by 45 degrees angle whilst holding the sword in my right hand i'd take a swing as a projectile of compressed air that would take the shape of a crescent moon.
" CRESENT MOON! "

Tension had started to build as the Orc Pirates ship got closer to the Marine vessel. A knot of tension had lodged itself in Benimaru's neck. He wouldn't admit to nervousness, not even to himself, but something deep in his bones told him that danger was approaching. Shuna felt the same way, and she was not shy about it. "Brother... What are we facing"? Before Benimaru could answer he noticed something from the other ship. Instinct took over as he reached for the handle of the sword strapped to his back. It was a big two-handed broadsword. Gripping it with both hands he pulled it out as he concentrated, his muscles tensing up and bulging along his arms. He held it above his head pointing upwards. "Rending slash"! In one strong movement, he brought the sword down, creating a vertical slash of air that shot out to meet the incoming attack. The two met together in a violent crash that sent out a small shockwave that created disturbances in the water below.
Orc Combat, Rending slash.
By holding the sword above your head, you bring it down in a powerful vertical slash that sends out an air projectile as an attack.

However, it became clear immediatly that this wouldn't be that easy. My attack isn't strong enough... The attack by the marine broke through Benimaru's attack, and struck the front of the ship. Doing very little damage, but The Orc Pirates confidence was somewhat shaken regardless.
Link DPS: 4. 101-119: City Block Level +3 A rank attack = 7. Mountain Level Benimaru DPS: 101-119: 4. City Block Level +2 B rank Attack = 6. City Level Winner: Link DPS Remaining DPS: 1-20: 1. Below Street Level
Seeing the Orc Pirates respond kindly with a slash of his own, the two attacks would clash violently. A huge collision could be heard between the two attacks, with sparks flickering from the two as it dispersed like fire flies.
Despite the attack being met with the attack from Orc Pirates, I still couldn’t identify who it was until we would be closer to the target. But the attack also had some little to no damage.
Now instead of waiting for another attack like that I’ll take the moment “CHARGE HEAD ON!”
I’d take a glance back with Velvet and Cu immediately recognising what was about to come out of my mouth. Both of them would make a beeline to the side of the ship holding onto the side preparing to jump to the enemy ship. Both of them armed and ready to take the war to the pirates.
Time had come for change, change had come. There was simply no turning back, the hunters had become the hunted.
The Marines seemed completely undaunted after we exchanged attacks. They were soldering on, heading straight for us. Benimaru got nervous, then when he noticed he had gotten jittery, he felt himself grow angry. It was a defense mechanism, a lot of the time it had served him well, but this time the Orc Pirates were heading towards their doom. Benimaru, Shion, Shuna, Souei, Hakurou, and Kurobe were each standing spread out among the soldiers in different locations on the ship. Hakurou had until a few minutes ago been sleeping but had gotten a rude awakening when Shion broke open his door, screamed excitedly about the upcoming battle, and tried to drag the older orc out on deck. Hakurou had been somewhat chagrined because he wasn't dressed. Some Orc Pirate grunts had snickered even with the battle looming overhead as Hakurou had scolded her severely before closing his door on her.
Now he was standing on deck, watching the orcs around him ready their weapons, similar sights could be seen all over the ship. Shuna could be seen near the side of the ship, being deep in thought. What would be our best course of action? I should find Benimaru and ask him real quick, we don't have much time. Rushing forth like the wind, Shuna left her post to find Benimaru, she spotted his crimson hair almost immediately. He turned around as she approached, a frown on his face as Shuna held up her hands in a pacifying gesture. He snorted but did not say anything, figuring that his sister had her reasons. "I was wondering about how we should proceed? I think it might be a good idea to let them come to us this time? It might simply be too dangerous for us to enter enemy territory"."We won't know until the battle has started". Benimaru's tone was somewhat brusque, but not unkind and Shuna nodded her head and ran back to her spot, her hands clenching in suppressed worry.
Hearing the earlier explosion, the affected sea below had rocked the ship to the point where Leon tripped along the hallway edging closer towards Marko’s room. Though despite the fact that Leon was on his way Marko was thrown out of his bed and landed on his face. His body twitched as he let out a disgruntled moan of frustration. “ Which funny guy is that thrown me outta bed? … hmm … you could fess up before I chew your face off ”
“ Aaaa- shit “ could be heard from the hall which came from Leon which was followed with a snarl. With him punching the wall. “ They went and got started without me. “ he would say in grumbled manner. With him then diverting his attention to another room. ‘ I need to activate that Pacifista ‘
Tension rose as the seconds and minutes went by since the last collision of attacks. It was now a cat and mouse game. But I’d refuse to provide them the opportunity to strike first. I’ve seen the first hand methods that the poor marines who have died on duty, went up against. I’ve read the reports regarding these incidents, then their loved ones for grieving. I’d take a moment to hold composure as despite everything, my mood was trigger happy. I wanted them, not to kill but capture and taste their bitter sweet comeuppance.
Despite what was going on in my mind and what I was seeing, Cu was becoming restless. Velvet would watch him from afar. “ Cu, lets see how many names we can take out? “ her attempt to goad him to make a move first to which she can take the glory.
Instead of the duo trying to one up another I’d take lead yet again. I’d begin by crouching a little then kicking off the front of the ship where I was high enough to launch another attack. After feeling I was high enough to not harm the ship, but enough time and distance to land back. I’d take the moment in mid air to swirl to ensure I was positioned to launch my attack. I’d use my inner emotion to feel the attack, not wanting to give the pirates the chance or even giving them enough respect. I’d take the moment to charge my next attack, with my muscles in my leg swelling, with blood being shot down to my right leg. I’d then swing my leg with enough force and manner in which it appeared as if I tore the fabric of space before me. It shone as a huge projectile formed and came raining down aimed at the pirates ship. They came down like rankyuaku blades, refined shards came hailing down.
I’d mutter “ Rankyuaku The End – Fallen Angel “
Rankyuaku The End Fallen Angel – DPR S

"Shit, shit, shit"! Benimaru watched as one of the marines jumped into the air. Then with a kick filled with such power that Benimaru could almost feel the energy involved from where he stood, a huge wind blade started to come down towards the ship. This attack is far stronger than the last one... I gotta deal with this myself, then the others won't use too much energy too soon. Our enemies are closing in rapidly.
Having decided what to do and how to do it, the muscles on Benimaru's arms once again swelled as he gripped the sword at his back. Once again he swung it down in front of him to create a vertical slice in the air that rose to meet the much larger wind blade.
Orc Combat, Rending slash.
By holding the sword above your head, you bring it down in a powerful vertical slash that sends out an air projectile as an attack.

Without waiting to see the result, he sprinted towards the mast with all his might. When he reached it he started to climb, but instinct told him he was being too slow so he let go with his hands and just ran straight upward trying very hard to not lose his momentum and fall. As Benimaru reached the top of the mast, a large boom shook the ship violently, far more than before since the ships were that much closer already.

Without delay, he jumped into the air to meet what remained of the attack. Thankfully little remained of the power that had infused the wind blade and Benimaru simply punched it with his right fist and then landed back down at the top of the mast. Drawing in a breath as much as he could, he let it out in a raw, almost animalistic roar of challenge "Is that all you have"!`?

Seeing a member of the Orc Pirates comply in kind to my attack brought nothing but a tingle of a challenge. Not only did he meet my attack head on but also just punched away the remnant of the attack. It simply dispersed like thin air. Both of us stood there eyeing one another, this time I’d take a momentary win for me. But little did he know this was me just warming up.
I’d grin then make my way around and be positioned in between Cu and Velvet. The duo wanted part of the action desperately. “Hey man, stop hugging all the fun.” Would come out of Cu’s mouth, as I replied “You two ready?” as I grab Velvet and Cu. I’d begin by kicking the floor being sent as if an arrow shot at its target with some zigzag before we jumped onto the top of the enemy ship.
I’d take a step back and dust my hands off and crack my knuckles and say “Kamisori” as if relieving myself.
Requirement: 46 Mastery, 41 Strength and 61 Movement Speed
Combination of Soru and Geppo, where the user uses Soru in a zigzag motion in mid-air, allowing extremely fast movements in three dimensions.
“Why bring the war to my ship when I simply can make it come to your door step”, I’d say as if sarcastically. Cu this time would take a step forward from my left side and began charging by pumping a lot of muscle that grew in size from his shoulder. “Lightning Joust, begone pieces of shit”
He’d roar as he dispatches a strong thrusting motion from his spear.

With him attacking from left side, Velvet would also take lead by attacking on the opposite direction. Velvet unsheaths her sword as if whipping them out, taking a deep breath with her eyes glowing and sparkling she then holds both swords adjactently to one another then swings her sword. “Dual Crescent Moon” with two projectiles of wind current in the shape of crescent moons and joust attack aimed at the direction of the underlings of the Orc Pirates.

I’d remain quietly keeping tabs on the one who quashed my attack. Though my silence could only last long as I remained in that state. However, my blood boiled, clenching my fist with veins popping out. I’d kick the floor making a beeline for Benimaru. As I approached him closer the fist began to be coated with aura that surrounded the fist around the knuckles. “JUGGOOONN!” would come out my mouth holding resent but would be yelled out.

Benimaru stood atop the mast and saw something that he had expected... He had hoped this would happen, but there was a problem. He was not down there, he was not ready. What happened was that the one that had previously contended with Benimaru had simply jumped over to the ship, and brought two companions with him. The moment they landed, the two companions, a man with a spear and a woman with two swords launched their attacks. Benimaru needn't have worried though because two of his subordinates, one was his kin and the other a dear friend had rushed forward the moment they saw the marines arrive. And unlike Souei, they were close enough to make it.
Shion arrived on the scene just ahead of Shuna. Shion had her sword out and was already attacking from a running position. Her sword was vastly different from the giant hunk of iron Benimaru lugged around. Her sword was sleek and slender, lending itself to quick attacks. This was not Shion's preferred style, she'd love to have a massive sword and overpower her enemies. Souei had other plans though, and Benimaru had humored him. So Shion had been trained with this much smaller weapon compared to someone like Benimaru. She wasn't happy about it, but she had no real say in the matter. As she ran, a black coating spread out across her blade, this was Armament Haki because even Shion would not take any chances after seeing the level of attacks that had earlier been on display. "Rushing Skewer" The concept of the attack was pretty simple, Shion would run full pelt towards her target to build up as much momentum as possible, her sword point somewhat ahead of her, but the arm would start bent at the elbow and held close to the body. However, when she was close enough to her target she would jump forward the last stretch as her arm struck out straight for maximum penetration potential.
"Rushing skewer" Swordsmanship attack. Run forward at max speed, hold arm bent at the elbow, at the last second jump forward, and straighten out your arm so the sword has maximum potential. Strength 61, Speed 61, Swordsmanship 61, Rank A

Shuna however had a different beast of a weapon, she was carrying a Kanabō. Translated simply as Metal Stick, it is in this instance a spiked war club, long and getting progressively thicker closer to the end piece. Though not to such a degree as a mace would have been. Shuna did not have time to stop Velvet in her tracks, because those attacks were already being loosed. I can only stop one of those wind slashes... Her thoughts filled with utter despair, but she had a job to do. Running towards the flying slash, Shuna jumped into the air, then she brought her Kanobo down on the wind slash that she could reach. She had not had time to activate her Armament Haki, Shuna had been slower than Shion, and the requirement of her jumping quite a bit higher had hindered her from using her full capabilities. Shion by comparison had been closer and had a running start so to speak, and as such had time to activate her haki. "Falling Mountain". Shuna's weapon came down upon the wind slash, it felt like hitting a brick wall and her weapon bent completely, it folded under the pressure making it completely useless to her. She also wasn't able to stop it completely, it flew past beneath her and bit into a normal orc standing further back. The orc was practically unharmed though, at least Shuna had been able to do that much. The other wind slash though, flew unhindered and killed several orcs standing bunched up together for protection.
Shuna fell, landing on her knees with tear-stricken eyes. "Damn you" she whispered hoarsely.

Benimaru saw all this in a moment and howled in rage like an animal, it had no words, it was simply filled with his anger and frustration. There was precious little time for such outbursts, however, because the marine leader Link had rushed towards him with an attack ready. And this time the distance between them was a lot smaller and Link was faster. Benimaru however had also lost his head, he was not thinking clearly
I'll beat you down with my bare hands! Such were the thoughts that burned in his mind. He let go of his sword and jumped down head first with his fist outstretched out above himself as if he was superman flying down to wreak havoc like a god. "Shooting Star!"

In his haste and rage, Benimaru had not even thought about Armament Haki, and even if he had, one could doubt whether he truly had the time. He had underestimated his opponent this time, and he paid for it. Their fists clashed in mid-air, the shockwave itself destroying the mast behind Benimaru. And even though Benimaru's attack shaved away a good portion of Link's power, it was not enough, not nearly enough. Benimaru could feel some of the tinier bones in his arm crack, it hurt like hell, but it wouldn't destroy his arm completely. What was an even bigger problem in this situation was that he was thrown high into the air and away from the ship until he splashed in the ocean quite a distance from his starting point. This was disastrous for the Orc Pirates, Benimaru was the one with the most damaging attack power. And for now, he was out of the dance, and every second was crucial in this conflict. Souei and the other Orc Pirates leaders were rushing towards the marine attackers, but they were still not at the scene and things were looking bleak.
Cu who had proceeded to make some moves from my left when we first embarked on the enemy ship. Shion a pirate with a bounty of 200 million reacted and had eyes to clash with him. She made a beeline blitzing forward for a full on charge head forward to meet Cu’s spear. In myth, folktale and legend its always believed the sword was superior to the lance or spear. This was due to the mobility of the sword and less energy consumption of handling one. Spears and lances were seen as the sword variation of archery, long and mid ranged combat tools.
With Shion’s sleek yet razor edge sword it connected created a crashing sound of two colliding weapons. There was a miniscule pause that occurred but when it went back to the play button the debris mixed with the gust of wind behind Shions attack collided with Cu’s. It simply pushed Cu and his spear back a little sending an attack that sent a static shockwave that sent Cu’s hand that was handling the spear to tighten his grip. But also not take Shion so lightly. He was stunned at first but that stunned turned into a grin of salivating for combat for someone to appose him.
He got sent back about a metre or two, which he simply shrugged off. Licking his lips, “ Your not too shabby you know that. I expected far less for a 200 million wanted pirate. “
He didn’t want the fun to end so abruptly, but it was the instinct of a beast. It wanted to entangle its fangs into its prey then wear it down before feasting upon it.
He then twirled the lance in both hands behind his back as he then pointed at the direction of Shion. “ It was nice knowing you cutie. “ he’d remark sarcastically as if obnoxious yet flirty tone. He’d then emit what would seem like steam but it was dark in colour as if something was off with the steam as Cu’s entire arm that had the grip on the lance enlarged and turned black. The Spear seemed to darkened up after what looked like it absorbed the strange black substance that covered the arms and coated a thick slab of it around the spear. He then blitzed at tremendous speed at the direction of Shion then springed upwards just before Shion and used the momentum and gravity to then hurl the spear at Shion.

Did Shion have a counter message for this level of offensive? And despite venting for a long time to square with someone did Cu just try to decimate what was before him? Despite all that something was going to occur that would change the tides of this battle soon. Though it doesn’t have to be this Cu vs Shion conflict. Cu was about to ….
Moving over to the two consecutive slashes that Velvet sent, a little girl holding onto a kanobo would make her move to confront her, more importantly the slashes Velvet sent earlier. She made a bold move by going face first using her weapon of choice to disperse the two slashes that were sent just moments ago. Velvet simply stared with no emotions that resonated, just a glum look. The little girl was able to halt one of the attacks, not so much with the other that had the deck of the ship drenched with Orc blood.
Velvet to keep the pressure would then eminate a huge dark aura that coated her swords. She then kicked off the deck and lunged at Shuna. She charged with her yelling “ Rikudou Gorin - Kurikara Tenshou ” as she let loose a flurry of strikes then back peddled with her sword emitting aura then creating a slash projectile that was aimed for Shuna’s midsection.

I’d witnessed the captain of the Orc Pirates fight back courageously, feeling the power he possessed. It had me surprised but yet anguish in terror how many marines he must have killed in the process. Witnessing the mast behind completely decimated and crumbled with the debris of the other parts of the ship being tossed away. Though my attack collided to cause this but the full extent of my Jugon had the captain sent a distance away. Instead of letting him come back I’d gaze monitoring his whereabouts. ‘ I have to deal with him here and now. After all even caged animals are still wild and animals. ‘ was my thought process as the scene darkened entering into a flashback ….
We go back 3 months whilst the Silver Hair’s had fully transitioned under Gambit as their captain, Spada Pirates began to expand their influence, Devil Pirates had vanished without a trace, the captain of the Backyards and Shichubukai became inactive & the marines took advantage of the trailblazers gaining infamy as they sailed.
We are within a office, it was just like your every other day. I was sat at the desk which was the only one in the room and more importantly in the middle by the wall next to the window for some refreshing air. I had my appointment, at 11:30. It was a widow of a marine soldier that perished. I knew it was a sensitive case as Kong himself through pulling some strings gave me this position. I was good at it but felt my true talents and capabilities lay elsewhere. Time had gone by to the appointment. She was mourning her loss in becoming a widow and having two children at home. Unable to provide them satisifactory help and income. She told me how her husband was situated in the new world. Despite all that he was not prelevant in the use of haki, but he had the heart to help in other means. But one day, that helpful side came at a cost. He was stabbed and beheaded with his head resting on a spike. Incidents of the survivors report that he turned a blind eye on some pirates who were castrated away from the ship. In a moment of weakness he allowed them time, originated the weakness.
End of Flashback as the flashback was cut short due to the blood beginning to boil. Feeling resentment at what the soldier felt and what the widow had to endure. Aura had surrounded my fists, kicking off the ground propelling myself at a distance to put Benimaru out of commission. I roared as I then allowed gravity to take it course. “ JUGGGOONNN! “ that followed with a huge roar.

It was so aggravating. The attack was all Shion could bring to bear. Despair filled her, for it was nothing more than a minor inconvenience to the spear user in front of her. She could do nothing but watch as he came at her with a second attack so ludicrously stronger than his previous one that it was a mockery of all she had believed about her strength.
Then, suddenly Souei was there; his speed had finally carried him to her rescue. His sword was out in the same attack Shion had performed earlier, but his strength was up to the task.

The clash was magnificent and terrible. Where Souei's sword struck became the eye of the storm. The damage to him was negligible; the shockwave that resulted wrecked the ship.
Shuna were in a even more dire situation, there would be nobody to save her. The attack was coming far too fast for anyone to throw her a weapon and she had never learned any technique that she could draw upon in this situation. She was not her brother, though even he was facing a situation that was looking bleak.

Goodbye my friends. Tears were streaming down her face as she watched the air slash speed towards her midsection. She did not feel it hit, but even amidst the chaos on deck, cries of anguish could be heard from the Orc Pirates as Shuna's midsection separated and she fell down, dead even before she hit the deck.
In the water, Benimaru had begun the ardeous task of swimming back towards the ship, but he was too far from it. He knew it was utterly hopeless, in his rage he had allowed himself to be removed from the battlefield, and without him he knew they were at such a magnificent disadvantage that it wasn't even funny. Then he saw him. The marine officer that had thrown him off his ship, that had ruined all of his dreams and hopes rush towards him. I was a fool, an utter fool. Such thoughts flickered through Benimaru's head as he watched his adversary approach. Feeling a lump in his throat, Benimaru clenched his fist for what he thought would be the last time in his life. If I am going to sacrifice an arm, let it be the one that is already damaged.
Lifting his aching arm, Benimaru's fist met Link's with simply an ordinary punch, no haki, no powerful attack, simply an ordinary punch.

Link's fist struck Benimaru's with such force that the backlash itself exploded Benimaru's arm. The leader of the Orc Pirates had only a gaping hole where the shoulder and right arm used to be. Dying, but not yet dead, Benimaru fainted while his blood stained the ocean.
Back on deck, Souei's knees buckled under him, for he was watching Shuna laying dead. Retching, Souei felt a century older than he had the day before. Tears streamed down his face as he cursed the unfairness of it all. Why her? How did it come to this? We could have put up a better fight. We made so many stupid mistakes. He looked upon the chaos, the death and destruction around them. It had only been three people who came to pick a fight, but they had been enough. Even if Souei killed Cu and Velvet, there would be no saving them from Link. Souei took a deep breath, then he bellowed, his voice cutting through the insanity that surrounded them. "Stand down men! There has been enough death on this day!" Normally, such an order would have been met with looks of disdain and anger, but the spirit of the Orc Pirates were crushed to a fine powder. One could wonder if they would ever rise again.
Instead the blue haired swordsman would use his sword to thwart Cu's attack. It was Souhei, the second most dangerous man amongst the Orc Pirates. Coming to the rescue of Shion. Cu was alerted at the fact that another came to clash with him as Sword met Sword causing an epicentre shockwave. With the pirate ship taking the brunt of the collision of attacks and the shockwave from after effects. The ship's mast and side of the ship taking the major catastrophe with debris flying and cutting the top of the ocean then fluttering about.
Cu landed back on his feet as he chuckled but hear the screams coming from another battlefield to the other side.
Upon cutting Shuna's midsection she had sorrow to do this to a little child. But the little child was a known pirate with a 200 million bounty. She wanted to end on peaceful terms. But knowing what burden Link had to undertake, she had no means to take it easy.
My attack as using momentum the punch met with Benimaru's though the shockwave of my technique caused tremors down the nerves of the pirate. It then broke all the bones in the arm as i torpedoed into ocean. Just in time i held my breath feeling the depths of the ocean's pressure. I'd then use my arms to swim up. Benimaru seemed out of the count but i didn't realise his arm was exploded to the joint of his shoulder. He laid motionless with blood soaking the top of the ocean.
I grabbed his collar then used my strength to toss him towards my ship.
The next one in command would solemly shout out to his men and pleaded to surrender. Velvet would approach him then shout out. " You heard what he said, surrender now and let no one else suffer. "
With Cu not liking the fact another battle he would have be cut short. " Tcchhh! "
It had been an utter failure. It was a combination of biting off more than the Orc Pirates could chew and not having the right people ready to meet the three marines that did show up. Benimaru should never have let go of his sword; his failure to remain on the ship had been devastating. Souei was second in command at this point, and his order to give up; held absolute authority in the absence of Benimaru.
One by one, the Orc Pirates laid down arms and sat down. At this point, the ball was in the court of their captors. Shion looked upon the corpse of Shuna, her face a mask of grief so terrible that nobody on the crew could look her in the eyes. None of the commanders knew how to face their leader, Benimaru, again.
The Orc Pirates will rise again, even if it is the last thing I do. To continue the fight here would be the height of folly, but who is to say we cannot bust out of whatever hole they decide to put us?
Such were the thoughts of Souei as he tried to comfort himself.
Watching the members of the Orc Pirates lay down their arms, had Velvet take initiative. " Place cuffs on all of them now " as the Orc Pirates showed no fight or resistance as the body of Shuna was grabbed by the marines stationed on the ship. I'd get on deck as made sure all the pirates were being sent directly to a cell with enough space to ensnare them.
And so ended the capturing of the Orc Pirates. with the final words ending with myself " Set sail now "
