"I clashed with them on a road east of the library, on the way to the Town Hall. perhaps we could go around them by that giant tree in the middle of the city, and catch them by surprise. What do you guys think?" he said while signaling the giant tree.

Thanks to them, Nero couldn't truly have a normal mission, and thanks to Nero, they couldn't truly have a normal mission. But on the other hand, it was evident that they were the only ones who Nero could depend now. Nero knew what he was thinking about without misunderstanding, and maybe the opposite was true as well. That it would be best that way.

Nero could not sort everything out in the short amount of time he had. Nevertheless, he decided to answer the question posed by the Dabit in front of him. But that answer was still half-intended to convince himself that he was not doing what he was doing "though we have the same goal so let just go with your plan"

Nero thought about the situation, but he could not bring himself to care. "…I guess we're just going to beat those marines in that place into the ground and gonna find treasure afterward."

If they made a bad move, under those circumstances, things could get worse later on if they were found out. But of course, it was too late to worry about that. Nero's mouth formed a bitter smile as he remembered the task more clearly. "Ok, We're all done now. You're looking a lot better, at this rate we should be able to make it right."

Nero said with a smile to the two of his current teammates.

Simultaneous to this plan, he was had also been flickering around between the marines, Aside from all of this, it seems these two are also ready for operating the plan, they understood that what they need to do "Now then, I wonder you two ready to carry out this plan right now?"

Fire Tiger said:

"Don't call me Doctor, ensign Gan Fall. My real name is Kilij a former slave turned adventurer. We managed to clean our lungs, but it will only buy us time if the poison has already taken effect. We need to find an antidote from the guy that escaped. At this point it's imperative for us to work together to find and capture this guy. I will confront him, so you can sneak up behind him and trap him with your clouds. Once we have a cure, we can search for this famous treasure together."

Shaarib felt bad, he too was lying but he will never say it to the tiger. Kilij from what he heard didn’t have a good life he was a former slave that turned a new leaf. Most of the time, slaves most of the times reconverted in the RA. They always wanted to become much more, to do much more. To forget what they have endured and somewhat free islands from their oppressors. Who were they ? The world government. Who was Shaarib working for ? The WG ! He wasn’t promoting slave trade but what could he do ?

Shaarib wasn’t someone that liked to be sneaky. It wasn’t one of his qualities, he liked to be more straightforward, to fight his enemy like a true warrior : fair and square and after some hits to see the despair in their eyes when they realize that they cannot win. It was his way, the way of the Goddess. The plan was to capture the birkan and find the cure of the poison.

Shaarib’s wing began to itch and it was never a good omen. He created a cloudy platform and began jumping on it while waiting for Kilij to give orders.#

- Let’s roll Lij-chan !

Kilij grunted a bit at the new nickname the marine gave him, but he made no comment about it. Although he didn't particularly like it, it was still better than many of the things he's been called in the past. He jumped down from the building and landed in a graceful manner. Cats were known for always landing on their feet and Kilij tended to make this a true statement. He followed the direction that the cyborg escaped into. His footsteps were fast, but the Tiger Mink moved extremely quietly. This wasn't something that he has trained in. No this was the natural instincts of hunter that the Mink was born with. Tigers are some of stealthiest predators. Even with their great size, the can stalk prey until they're only a stride away from death. And so the Mink moved agilely through the burning edifices and overgrown streets. If the vines, roots, and bushes blocked his way, he cut them. If the flames and smoke intercepted him, he just sprinted through. No obstacle was an impediment for the determined Mink. Until his gaze finally landed on the silhouette of three individuals near the library.

He didn't rush them from the front. That would be foolish and Kilij didn't like being a fool. He stayed low to the ground with both blades in hand. Even if by some chance they perceive his presence, he would be ready to counter attack. But for now his intentions were to get a closer look at the other party. First and most obvious was the fact that he was outnumbered. Even with the aid of the marine the enemy had more members. Still Kilij didn't let that deter him. Their body language gave him the thought that they might not be a cohesive unit. Although there was a chance that he was mistaken about it. Either way Kilij sneakily approached them through the building that was next them. Kilij eventually hunched down next to a second floor window that was overlooking the trio of strangers.

With his hidden vantage point, Kilij tried to listen on their conversation, but all he caught was a bit of talk about the treasure. [The treasure again. What are the odds that all of us ended up on this remote and desolate island looking for the same rumored treasure. How inauspicious that is. Nonetheless this presents me with an opportunity.] The most important thing was to get the antidote. The treasure would be meaningless if he wasn't alive to use it. Kilij felt that this poison might not be of the potent variety, since he wasn't suffering from side effects at the moment, but he preferred to rather be safe than sorry.

Kilij walked over to the window, smashed it, and sat himself on the windowsill overlooking the three. Right underneath him the fire was spreading, but the blacksmith was indifferent to it. The Tiger man had put away his swords and in their stead there was a book and a map.

"Greetings fortune seekers." The Tiger Mink spoke to the three with a large grin on his face. "What a nice evening to hunt for treasure ain't it? But the fire might be complicating the search. It would be a real shame if the flames ruined the treasure before anyone can find it. But worry not. I'm here to resolve this problem. In my hands there is a detailed account on the treasure as well as a map that pinpoints its location. Oops." As he spoke the map fell from his hand landing on the fire below. In mere moments the paper turned to ashes. "Silly me and my butterfingers. Don't worry about that. I've memorized the treasure spot. With that knowledge and this book finding the treasure will be as easy as could be." At this point the smiling Mink turned serious. "I can give you the book and we can find this treasure together. After that let the best man, Mink, or skylander get it. But to trade for the book I need the antidote for the poison Mr. Moreau."

Dabit said:

" Oh hey man, we were just going to look for you. And you're right, things are getting more complicated by the minute"

Link smiled then listened eagerly as he knew others would pick up on this, link then asked him what he found out to which he replied.

Dabit said:

"More than something, i found someone" the cyborg said with a grin, continued "The Marines are here, are least two of them. One seems to be some kind of doctor or scientist, he has the face and the skin of a tiger. The other seems to be his bodyguard a skypeain that wears the Marine coat. Although i wouldn't discard the tiger faced one to have his own combat skills." The birkan said, revealing his recent findings to the pirate, then proposing a plan of action.

" Those guys are the culprits for starting this wildfire. They rather destroying this island than allowing us to get to the treasure. I don't know how did they found about us, or if this is simply their way to deal with things. Perhaps they expect the treasure to reveal itself after everything has burned down" said the revolutionary with a worried face, rubbing his iron chin with his right hand as wondered what the Marines actions were by setting the place on the fire.

"I clashed with them on a road east of the library, on the way to the Town Hall. perhaps we could go around them by that giant tree in the middle of the city, and catch them by surprise. What do you guys think?" he said while signaling the giant tree.

This shocked Link who visibly through his facial expression expressed how annoyed he was as he moved his right hand on top of the handle of the sword clenching it breathing heavily. *Breathes heavily / panting* "i gotta calm down i cant allow this to get the better of me"

Link then let go of his sword handle and placed his hand on his waist as he looked up to the sky "Hey you, i dont think we gonna get outta here without a scuffle, though wherever Marines are there's always a trailblazer of shitstorm that comes with it." as Link then lowers his gaze looking down as he moves the hand off his waist and taps the back of his hand on the chest of Dabit.

"What do you say, we go to these Marines and show them a thing or two?" as Link grinned with bloodlust with a visible ferocious gaze before he could carry on he then asks the Skypeian "You a close combat fighter or a ranged one?, as i am asking you provide support as i am looking to burn off some steam right now" as he undoes his scabbard and moves it to his back.

As Dabit revealed his intention to his partners, Nero seemed eager to carrying it out.
Luffy. said:

Now then, I wonder you two ready to carry out this plan right now?

"Yeah, the sooner we move-----"

Iron Dabit´s words were interrupted by the tiger faced Marine, who was sitting on the windowsill of a nearby building, he saluted the men:
Fire Tiger said:

After that let the best man, Mink, or skylander get it. But to trade for the book I need the antidote for the poison Mr. Moreau."

"Buakaka! Antidote? Let me just think about it with my partners here" said the cyborg with a laughter, still trying to process the opponent´s actions.

Char Aznable said:

"Yeah, this is bad" Dabit whispered to his partners with a serious face, trying to figure out what they wanted to do. He felt Link`s tapping on his chest as he said

"What do you say, we go to these Marines and show them a thing or two?"

"Sounds good to me.Bukaka. I say we first, we take the book from him. Then we torture his ass untill he reveals the treasure location" the cyborg whispered to the pirate and the bounty hunter, while covering his mouth with his left hand so the tiger couldn´t hear what he was saying.

The pirate asked Dabit about his fighting style:

You a close combat fighter or a ranged one?, as i am asking you provide support as i am looking to burn off some steam right now

"I can handle close combat, but also got some tricks for a mid range fight tho. If you wanna charge him i will back you up, bro"said the revolutionary with a smirk on his face, but before acting, he wondered what the bounty hunter had to say about it.
"What do you say Nero? do we play ball or do we make ourselves some tiger coats? Buakaka" he said sarcastically, expecting to solve what their action should be. Not much time to think tho, since the fire was spreading fast and would soon get to the place were they were.

"What do you say Nero? do we play ball or do we make ourselves some tiger coats? Buakaka"

"You're making me look like an incorrigible villain." Although, Nero does not think that the most evil thing he could do

It was like a game.

Where, one just place their bet on something simple.

Such as this quest. Yeah, was it simple as they predicted? No more than speculations of an event where the chances of finishing this quest are theoretically are low. How does it sound? Easy? Hard? For instance, without real clues, they can search the entire town buildings but they won't get anywhere.

"Get out of the here!" The brusque voice of a female, breathing heavily sounded within the buildings. Nero turned in the direction of the voice out of reflex.

"What the hell?" Looking more closely, Nero thought that if he just tries to tell himself that the city playing a prank on him, and relax.

And, if possible -

Why not just try to find the source of the voice? After all these Games are meant to be enjoyed.

"Whoa... These voices are too intense to leave. We better take care of it." Nero said looking at Dabit and Link. Nero had an idea. Before making his way into the fight.

"You two stay alert, we should split into two groups. I take care of these voice things you two go ahead" Nero let out a breath, then smiled and turned towards the direction where he heard the voice.

Nero starts walking. As he passed by a few buildings before reaching the one where the sound comes from, but not one person voice could be heard.

The towering building cast a deep shadow as if trying to hide something away... After looking at the building, Nero stopped at the entrance then looked around and went inside. Outside the open windows of the hallway, Nero notices a heavy wind. Nero again heard the loud voice of falling something besides the coming stairs.

"What's that" Nero stepped forward where stairs were to check the status of the location, and the entire thing felt out of place.

"I can't believe you're here," Nero heard a sweet sound of whispered. Nero turns his head, and his eyes were somewhat wide after seeing the site in front of him. There was someone standing to look towards Nero. It was a girl. While seeing her Nero couldn't think of a word to describe her beautiful face like a snow white. She was wearing a white top with a blue jacket same color as Nero jacket, short, plaited skirt with boots.

That expression she briefly showed Nero was high spirited.

"Who are you?", Nero asked impulsively.

"It's a secret," She said putting her index finger to her graceful lips. As Nero looked at the woman, he was slightly felt weird about the current situation. Nero was somewhat was aware of the weirdness of the situation.

"Are you… A ghost?" he soon asked himself why did he even say that question

"Even if I'm a ghost, it doesn't mean you should say that" woman who possessed a beauty that seemed to have come straight out of a fairytale answered in a monotone, without putting on a fake smile.

Nero had absolutely no knowledge why she was talking like that, only confusion was created. Upon seeing Nero face that girl said "I'm just kidding"

"Honestly… I'm shocked. Hum, you're a bit different… are you alone?" The girl examined her own appearance with a glance, and then looked back at Nero, who looking at her.

"Did you come across anything suspicious?"

"Yeah- probably..." He looked her only at the dispassionate voice.

"That's surprise…" She smiled

"Just forget it… Let's just get the hell out of this place!" Nero's shoulders dropped in resignation.

"Ehhh?" At her words, Nero didn't understand anything.

Nero casually glanced at the girl, but she bluntly averted her gaze to tell Nero "explain it yourself."

In reply to the sentence, Nero had muttered but not finished as he again heard the loud voice. Realizing this, Nero decided that the first priority would be to find who else is here.

"..."

Something was wrong. Nero felt a weird alarm sounding through his brain.

"And now, about the thing, I'm going to ask you for..." The girl beside Nero said.

"It doesn't have to be long, but would you be so kind as to fall asleep for me for a while?" That sentence was heard at the same time by both his left and right ears. The next thing Nero knew, something was being driven into his sense it was some kinda mist.

"You've been sniffing around for my information, right?" Nero looked her with confusion upon hearing this from her.

"Anyhow, I didn't add poison in the unconscious gas, so I don't expect your life to be in danger." The moment he realized that he was losing his consciousness because of that girl sneak attack, Nero muttered quietly.

"Screw it...screw this treasure hunt..."

Having said that with a faint smile on his face, Nero collapsed to the ground. As he lost consciousness, Nero heard that girl voice again, "Your companions will we facing this too, don't worry you will find your way out of here"

At that sentence, Nero thinly smiled at her for the first time losing all his consciousness. And the girl disappeared from the Nero side as if she was never there while saying "I'm just lonely and only spirit there"

# Shaarib was happy, the tiger did his job perfectly. He had the complete attention of the two amigos. Shaarib had the time to get around his enemies and jumped on the ground. The heat was making Shaarib sweat but he was taking it well. the birkan had a partner, an e-elf ?! The marine never saw one and only heard about them during his years at the academy. Shaarib began walking a little and with a quick stomp motion, he did five kicks in the wind. Seconds later, blue shuriken air blades were formed and took the direction of the two pirates. Shaarib yelled the named of his attack a little time before the attack caught up to them :

- Rankyaku Shuriken !

Shaarib didn't stop there, he knew they were probably going to not be hurt, the first attack was a diversion, he propelled himself towards the two and began spinning around them while going upwards to "cloud" their vision as well as trap the and to give time for Kilij to come down and attack. Shaarib anted to have the birman for himself but the treasure was more important.#

Kilij made his proposal, hoping for things to go smoothly. But his hopes were dashed. [A minor setback.] Thought Kilij as he saw the aggressive disposition of the cyborg. He was thinking about how he was going to hold off the three until the marine appears, but pleasantly one of them left the scene. [It seems that my words weren't in vain.] He still had to be cautious for the missing one, but a two on two fight was surely welcomed.

It was at this moment that Kilij noticed the marine quickly approaching. [Good, the cyborg and his partner are paying attention to me. Therefore he should be able to come unnoticed.] To maintain that small advantage, Kilij put away the book in the inner pocket of his robe and jumped down from the window. As he fell, he used his feet to push himself from the wall and into the direction of the duo.

"Since you don't want diplomacy, then I can only give you steel! Hirameki!"


Midair Kilij drew his swords and took the initiative to attack the opposing party. Opening his arms wide and then closing with great force, his twin blades exploded with a pair of air projectiles that took an orthodox trajectory towards the enemy. The air missiles seemed to go directly towards the cyborg, but unexpectedly they twisted in the air towards the other guy with the long pointed ears.

"When did we take a book from whom?" - Link thought to himself positioning himself not realising the mink whom link thought a man was cosplaying as if not is a Devil Fruit eater.

Just as he would say that moments later Link smiled but before he could do anything the Mink began the onslaught seeing his attack directed at the group. "Well then i'll fight fire with fire" Link thought to himself.

"Well then ... i have no reason to greet your sword attack with one of mine" with a momentary pause "Sanjuroku Pound Ho" shouted Link as he moved the sword behind him and then swung sending a slash of air back to prevent it from doing any damage.

Spoiler: Sanjuroku Pound Ho

As then Link swung his sword before looking at the mink "Hey you, i don't know whats your business here but i am not in the mood to play around so i'll ask again who are you? ... what is your reason being here and attacking me?" shouting at the mink as veins can be seen visibly bulging with a rant.

before the Mink could reply he then moved the sword back from his right side and then swung in the shape of a crescent moon-like outer side sending a compression of air to the opponent. "Yakkodori"

Dabit dodged the attack by jumping high in the air, and prepared his weapon with a Heat Dial, warming the blade´s metal with it.
Spoiler: Heat Dial Sword

The Marine seemed to be planning something, as he used his cloud dial to propell near Dabit and Link, and consecuently spining upwards. And Dabit attempted to

"Again with the shuriken?
Marines don´t fight like men.
Your wings are those of a hen,
Die!, Heat Hiryu Kaen!!

Beig in mid-air, Iron Dabit used his heated sword, wielding it with his left hand and using his right hand to grip the left wrist for support, to attack the Marine with a hot slash directed to the torso area of his enemy.

The young man lying on the floor, Nero, determines the origin of that sweet scent, as he quietly stirs awake.

Ah, that's right.

This is that old building, huh.

Nero looks to the unfamiliar woman in front of him, and begins to confirm his self-induced state.

"You, was it just a dream seeing you vanishing?"

"Umm, No it wasn't. I'm really am a spirit."

It took Nero some time to realize that she was telling the truth. When things like that happened over and over, as expected, Nero thought it was strange. Somehow there was no other way to explain those strange hallucinations, In any case, like that, Nero finally started concerning about this situation even more.

Nero remembered that he had to help those two short-term team member of his.

"Hmm, Nero. Ah…"

Nero had recalled clearly, that he still haven't told her his name but this ghost woman seems to know about his name. Upon thinking this far, he looked at her and decide to ask her, "You know my name?"

"....Mm. Yes, I was reading that letter you have with you... Ah, sorry," She said

"... I see. No problem, I just thought that I may have forgotten something."

She then casually quipped, "I think you're actually quite calm even though a ghost is front of you."

Nero had no idea what there to freak about. As he gave a puzzled look, she chuckled and said, "I know very well that if a normal person sees a ghost they cannot stay calm as you, Nero."

"If it's not a reaction of a normal person, then I guess the reason is your appearance that I can't freak out"

After pretending to think, she pointed her finger towards Nero. "Is that really all?"

"Yes, exactly. You understood unexpectedly quickly." She couldn't detect any sarcasm in Nero words. For a moment, she starts thinking about Nero reaction to her.

Nero insinuated, while staring at the woman in the eye. Of course, she did not like that and turned away. "Fine, I understand. It's just you're kinda weird."

Is that something strange? "So, how about it? Would you like to tell me about this island and the hidden treasure?"

No matter what kind of tedious talk she's gonna bring, it's not the case that Nero wants to listen to it. It's just that if it's the only chance he has he will take it even if he's not interested, he would probably listen carefully for the sake of fulfilling his task.

"Even if you want to know this so badly, I won't tell you."

"All right." Nero had planned to not force into the story, yet he responded to the first sentence as if he's disappointed. "Then, what can you tell me?"

"Even If I tell how to reach you won't be able to reach." It seems that Nero made her angry. Time to shut up and listen to her.

"After night comes, on the fourth floor of this building. As that time come you will notice the melody of the piano. For better or worse, you need to appreciate that music. When the music finishes you will be overwhelmed by the abundant expression of the piece. It's a melody that one could easily get accustomed to. You will be immersed in the music, and after all that you will see a light."

Nero had an objection to her story. "The beautiful music was just like a requiem devoted to one's last moments. Right?"

What the hell… Nero could not find any connection in the moonlight and melody.

"The timbre of the music etched an inexplicable feeling of anxiety you get will be the final key to find the treasure"

"But the moment the music started. You cannot interpert it, if you did bad things will happen"

While acting out the action of this situation, her voice became soft. From the stifled voice, Nero knew that the scary part was imminent.

"After listening to the music, which seemed to be filled with a bizarre atmosphere. At that moment all the curtains will be closed, and it will be pitch-black. The Pianist will instantly look you in the eyes, and glare of its pianist will be the key to this. It's fear. If you somehow able to handle the vision of your darkest nightmare the wish will be yours"

She put on a serious look as she looked at Nero after her story. "Will, you able to do that?"

Nero spoke without thinking much. "I guess. Its probably something strange, but I'm not sure. There is some uneasy feeling in my heart I can't explain"

"Ah, so you're planning to do that, Nero." An almost non-existent smile surfaced on Nero eyes and mouth. This person was the ghost herself, a female who lacked elegance but was undoubtedly a beauty.

Nero pointed in the direction of the fourth floor. "This floor, right?"

"Yes, that's true."

Before her lips could open again, Nero quickly spoke. "What's your name?"

Having lost her momentum, She blinked. Using the excess energy from the sense of liberation from completing that annoying questionnaire, Nero laughed with extreme lightheartedness.

For a moment, her lips narrowed in doubt. She then linked her hands together in front of her chest and her smile returned.
"Hmm? I don't think this is a way to ask a girl her name? But, my name is Eru"

"Nice, I didn't believe it at first, but instead of listening from you… Thank you!" Nero raised his head to look at Eru, but she was nowhere to be seen as if she was never there.

As expected of ghost. But only thing Nero could say, "Well that's kinda freaked me out..ha"

"In any case, I do not know for how long I was out... I need to catch up to those two before we reach the night and miss the our only chance"

# The fighter were divided and Shaarib was smiling it was time to go wild and the birkan understood him. The man decided to use the big artillery from the start : a saber buffed with a heat dial. This fight was going to be fun. They were in the air and the cyborg still wanted to attack him. Him ? A guy with a cloud dial ? He had big ball and Shaarib respected that. He wasn't to run in another direction he was going to take that attack head on like a real man.

Shaarib waited there using his cloud to create a platform while the birkan was coming at him at great speed. Wasn't he scared ? No he had a ace in the hole. The captain covered his torso in tekkai. He couldn't compare to the expert but he was still proud of that shield. The impact came and the sword slashed his torso and the heat made him wince, the sword tore his jacket and his shirt leaving not too deep on his torso. The heat pierced his armor but he wasn't going to worry about the wound, it was probably already cauterized. Shaarib didn't lost his time the man was going to fell soon and it was a golden opportunity. The Marine opened his right palm and from the center a cone of flame got of it in direction of the pirate. #

- A charge de revanche !

Kilij casually moved his blades while whispering "Toro". After that what seemed to be a simple swing of the wrist carried with it frightening sword intent that produced a slashing projection that collided with the Yakkodori. Sound seemed to be sucked from the air when the two sword generated projectiles met. That brief instance of silence was suddenly replaced by a loud roar of cutting and slashing noises. Neither of the combatants suffered from the repercussions of their attacks clashing, but the same couldn't be said for the field of battle. Deep gashes, scratches, and slashes lay on the buildings and streets between them. A reminder not to take any of them lightly. Still if they were using their stronger attacks, the damage would've been much worse.

After countering the long eared enemy in front of him, Kilij proceeded to answer his questions. "My business? Ain't it obvious? I don't think that there's a soul on this island that would come here for anything else other than the legendary treasure." As he spoke Kilij scraped his two swords together making metallic noise. He walked in a circular fashion around his foe like a Tiger eyeing his food, his gaze never leaving him, but his intention was to separate himself from the duels of the two sky islanders while maintaining them within his field of view. He didn't want to suffer from collateral damage while fighting this guy. In such a fashion he continued to converse with the enemy.

"As for who I am..." Kilij stopped and pondered if he should reveal his identity to this person. After a couple of seconds he decided that he might as well do it. This guy wasn't a marine, so there shouldn't be an issue with him knowing of his allegiances. So he continued. "... I'm Kilij Dao Odachi blacksmith of the Backyard Pirates and I'm just removing an obstacle out of the way."

With that Kilij once again went on the offensive this time with a stronger attack. Much like his previous wrist movement that sent two flying swords slashes on a impact collision with the other's move, this time he repeated the motion but with the full movement of his arms. "Otoro" said the mink as two new projectiles much larger than earlier ones shot themselves at the enemy.


As he released this move, Kilij's instincts made him take a look at the other fight. [Are my blacksmith senses tingling?] What he saw made his pupils dilatate. He saw the cyborg wield a burning blade. The katana like sword radiated a red hot aura as its intrinsic heat warped the gases around its environment. "!" [How does he do it? Can I replicate it? I need to study it!] The Tiger Mink almost forgot about the enemy in front of him as became encapsulated by the tool of the cyborg.

Just as Link's projectile attack was sent directly at the mink, he spotted the mink move his blades reponding with a slash projection of his own as all could be heard was other than the other fight was terror of wind as two projectiles gradually met as all could be heard was wind as gust of wind breezed past both users. As the projectiles collided it send ripples of wind projectiles which cut into the floor slashing the habitation from underneath they stood.

Sound seemed to be sucked from the air when the two sword generated projectiles met. That brief instance of silence was suddenly replaced by a loud roar of cutting and slashing noises. Neither of the combatants suffered from the repercussions of their attacks clashing, but the same couldn't be said for the field of battle. Deep gashes, scratches, and slashes lay on the buildings and streets between them. A reminder not to take any of them lightly. Still if they were using their stronger attacks, the damage would've been much worse.

Link took a moment as he felt sweat trickle down the side of his face with the other trickling down his wrist as his heart beated fast knowing this was no easy opponent as he gulped whilst taking breath of air in the same pretense.

Fire Tiger said:

My business? Ain't it obvious? I don't think that there's a soul on this island that would come here for anything else other than the legendary treasure."

Link stared at him "He maybe right afterall i am here for that reason alone but i rather know now as i have another mountain to climb over to get to the end" link thought to himself though the action of the mink stopped his train of thought.
Fire Tiger said:

As he spoke Kilij scraped his two swords together making metallic noise.

The mink began to scrape the two swords creating a metallic sound that would make a normal man grab his hands around the ears. He noted the mink began to behave wierdly which Link tightened his grip "Bastard its trying to distract me with his talking i have to keep my guard as any second i may regret later"
Fire Tiger said:

"... I'm Kilij Dao Odachi blacksmith of the Backyard Pirates and I'm just removing an obstacle out of the way."

"I knew it ... Backyard Pirates, aren't they the group of pirates lead by the Slow Dance Acaremus?" Link thinking to himself hearing the Minks reply whereby Link pierced his gaze back at the mink "He's someone i need to keep an eye on and prepare for the worst as he's not someone i should take idly by as i never know what may happen next"
Fire Tiger said:

With that Kilij once again went on the offensive this time with a stronger attack. Much like his previous wrist movement that sent two flying swords slashes on a impact collision with the other's move, this time he repeated the motion but with the full movement of his arms. "Otoro" said the mink as two new projectiles much larger than earlier ones shot themselves at the enemy.

"He's up to something ..." as the Minks sent his attack projectile at Link as Link knew immediately he's punching above his weight but out of instinct he responded with his own attack to soften the blow which he re-used a attack that he sent earlier at the mink and immediatley had his sword above his head as he concentrated all his energy to his sword muttering "Sanjuroku Pound Ho" and then performed a circular swing which sent projectiles back at the Minks' attack


As the two attacks collided though not like before the mink's attack packed more punch "So this is the strength of him" as the collision sent ripples of wind that whistled ominiously though Link used his attack to soften the blow though the attack from the Mink sent Link in the direction of the Bounty Hunter.

Link was the slammed into the tree and floor beside the Bounty hunter as he dropped his sword breathing heavily laying on his back as Link opened his eyes barely seeing the Bounty Hunter Nero before him looking at him smiling "Hey little help here" said Link to him as there was a pause before Link says "Forget the help ... Why not tag your it" as Link chocked then vomited out blood as he held onto his stomach as his breathing became heavy. "I hope that Revo Officer is doing a better job than me ... Killij i will meet you soon i will get my revenge for this someday, though your a swordsman, i'll refuse to classify you as a man or mink but a swordsman you have my admiration and i will get you back a 100 fold" as Link let out a little chuckle.

(A direct hit?) was Iron Dabit´s first thought as his heat glowing blade managed to strike at the Marine bodyguard. But something didn´t feel right, his target´s skin was strangely hard, as if it was made of steel, hence the cut wasn´t as deep as the revolutionary intended it to, which made him doubt of the opponent being defeated, and he wasn´t.

As Dabit continued falling to the ground level after clashing the Marine man, he turned his look to see the enemy with a flame dial on his hand and activating it.

Bit quickly grabbed his own Flame Dial in mid air, and attempted to absorb the enemy´s flame, holding it with his right hand in the direction of the Marine. He did so upon touching the ground.

Blinded by the blaze, Dabit turned his look sideways and watching something that wasn´t supposed to happen. The Tiger Mink had overpowered his partner Link, sending him flying towards a a nearby tree, worse of it was that after doing so, the Tiger faced man turned his look at Iron Dabit, staring at him and completely ignoring Link. Dabit felt this as a challenge, as if this marines were already celebrating victory or something, but he wasn´t about to give up just because he was outnumbered, not this time. He had nowhere to go, it´s kill or get killed.

(Kuso-iaro!! I will make you you pay for this!! I don´t care if it´s Marines or Pirates, nobody messes with my nakama!!) Iron Dabit enraged in his thoughts. Anger and revenge claimed his mind, as he griped hard on to his sword with his left hand, grinding his teeth with strengh, his face was that of a madman as rushed towards the Tiger Mink for retaliation

"Hurt my friend you Bastard cat!
I don´t know what you looking at!

You want my blade that glows?
Sorry, but it´s not for mofos

Let me show you what´s it like
A Heated Rage Spike!!"
The Beat charged directly at the Tiger Mink while he rapped and cursed on the way, keeping his body low and bent forward, he placed his Heated sword in a parallel manner to his left leg and then drawed it back with an upward slash from the left.

Nero was unsure if he was supposed to be grateful or angry that he had a deal with this situation. But first, he needed to go to help those two teammates of his. However. Suddenly, something fell on his nose with a soft plop. It was not a teardrop, but a raindrop from the rain that had been forecast to arrive in the afternoon.

Unable to comprehend what had wetted his nose, he perplexedly squinted forward to meet his teammates. The rain didn't grow stronger by the time and only left was a few drop of water.

Before Nero knew it, he was alone and walking along the main street where he had come from. The distance between Nero and his team seems to be a little closer, but Nero continued on and showed no sign of noticing this. The distance between Nero and that building had also increased a lot, but Nero continued had the no choice.

"At this rate, all we gonna do is to chase the treasure for eternity."

'who are those?!' He finally noticed that some people were engaging in a fight. Nero looked at that sight, as though struck him that he has to help those two gain the upper hand in the fight.

"Like hell! I'm not gonna let you have all the fun" Nero kicked at the ground and speed up to decrease the gap between crossing as fast as I possibly could.

'An enemy, huh.' This was Nero's thought process as drew his sword, Nero knew for the fact that tiger looking guy and another tall white hair guy not a group of friendly troops who were in the middle of doing some picnic.

The first thing he noticed that white hair guy was free hence he can attack from the back to his two meets without letting them comprehend the moment. Nero had to stop without letting him seize the opportunity

Nero stopped at the side of that another birken guy as he shouts, "Gotta pay attention, Birdman."

"Now let's take a taste of HOWLING OCTAVE" Nero with high speed launched a continued thrust at his target, to cut him downward and then cut upward, before performing a final full swing from an overhead position,

"Let's see how you take this on." This would normally sound like a joke, but Nero was clearly not in the mood to crack jokes anymore.

Shaarib was pissed at the moment. The Birkan successfully evaded his attack and was now going for Kilij. Shaarib gloves began fuming, turning red. He didn't want to lose time anymore. This scuffle needed to end quick. The fire was was going to caught on them and the captain wanted that treasure. Shaarib took position looking carefully Dabid, ready to launched himself at his pursuit when he heard :

Luffy. said:

"Gotta pay attention, Birdman."

Wow ! What was that ?He was so concentrated on his target he forgot the ones around them and that was going to cost him greatly. Happily for him, the assailant shouted. Shaarib with a stomp, destroyed the cloud platform he was on to fall and dodge. He tried to turn around as quick as possible.The man was quicker than him and the first hit, he could barely parry, send his right hand away. For the second he was a little much prepared and dodge it by some centimeter seeing that he was a little under what the swordsman had previously calculated. The third one came and he tried to block it by "punching it" with his heated gloves but that didn't suffice. The opponent was way more stronger than him and Shaarib found himself propelled towards the ground at high speed while his gloves retook their normal color. The shock wasn't brutal but it still did hurt as hell.

The ground was too hot, his clothes were destroyed, his hat was nowhere to be found. Shaarib with a growl got up and dusted himself. He threw his jacket away and tore the t-shirt that was under it. Shaarib had a normal built for someone for his size, he even had a little belly fat that didn't want to go away but what was shocking was the burning scars on the left end side of his torso to his hip. Shaarib spit some blood and took a fighting position. The birkan would have to wait a little. He was going to kill that dark haired swordsman and come.#

- Yare Yare...

[Truly a splendid piece of craftsmanship. Who was the smith that made it? Is it someone I know? Is the smith the same person that added the heating element? Perhaps I could dismantle it to find out.] Ignoring the mad cyborg that headed towards him, Kilij sheathed his blades as he stared at the heat emitting sword.

Dabit said:

"Hurt my friend you Bastard cat!
I don´t know what you looking at!

Let me show you what´s it like
A Heated Rage Spike!!"

The Beat charged directly at the Tiger Mink while he rapped and cursed on the way, keeping his body low and bent forward, he placed his Heated sword in a parallel manner to his left leg and then drawed it back with an upward slash from the left.

Resting his hands on the handle of his blades, Kilij glanced at the enraged opponent that was coming at him and replied with a sigh. "Why do I always get the weirdly aggressive ones." Once saying his exasperated words, Kilij diverted his attention back to the blazing blade as it drew nearer. Three body lengths away, two body lengths away, an arms span away, the attack kept getting closer, but the Tiger Mink made no move to dodge or avoid. The Mink's eyes were open wide as he had his vision locked on the scorching sword. What was merely a few seconds, felt like an eternity as the member of the Backyard Pirates tried to absorb every inconceivable detail of the inner workings of such a weapon. It wasn't until he could see his own red tinged reflection on the broadside of the sword that Kilij made his move.

"Shi Tora Sonson" Whispered the Mink as he drew one of his blades at an incredible fast speed. The blade came into contact with the burning barrage and stopped it in its tracks. Leaving the two combatants locked in a stalemate a mere few inches from each other.

Although Kilij used a stronger move than his enemy, he purposely held it back so that he could get a closer look at the sword. Something that he probably wouldn't be able to do if he used a move of equal power. His right arm held the sword that kept the enemy at bay, his left hand still rested on his other blade ready to pull it out in case it was needed. In this position Kilij spoke to the opposition.

"Did you make that blade yourself, Mr. Moreau? It's quite exquisitely made. Is it powered by those versatile shells that you sky folk always seem to use? No, wait where are my manners. Let me introduce myself. I'm Kilij Dao Odachi blacksmith of the Backyard Pirates and if you let me study that blade I'll let go of the fact that you have attacked me multiple times without any rhyme or reason. What do you say, truce?"

After saying that Kilij gave one more look to sword and jumped back to separate himself from the cyborg. His experience with this adversary told him that the madman would once again ignore his words and attempt to attack again be it by blade or poison, but he had to take a chance if it allowed him to study that sword.

Link ruggedly got himself up to be seated whilst grabbing resting a few to catch his breath as he panted."Damn i am gonna feel that in the morning" as he sighed.

Link then slowly got to his knees crawling over to his sword which was a foot away from his legs. He then grabbed the sword and stabbed his sword into the floor and used it to stand as he walked ruggedly to begin with. "The Captain said if the going gets tough you get going, dont risk everything" Link thought as he used his left arm to slowly chug down his sleeve to wipe the sweat that was trickling down the left side of his face.

"I hope those other 2 are pulling a better job than me" Link muttered as he moved his head in the direction of the battlefield seeing, hearing and he could feel through the tremors of the scuffle. "Fuck, so this is the level of these guys. i need to train myself so i can be at least on the same stage as these guys" Link said then began to think.

"Before i do anything i need to meditate and get my composure back i'll wanna see and monitor this though will need to keep my distance" as Link turned around seeing a rock he than sat on as he placed his sword to the side closed his eyes and began to breath slowly.

"This is as far as away from the battlefield and enough where i can see too"

"I can do this .... I can do this .... I can do thi" Link thought to himself as he meditate

As Iron Dabit´s heated rage spike attack reached the tiger face man, the opponent reacted with a clash, and unsheathing technique of similar strength to his strike, which forced Dabit into a sword lock position with the tiger man. The moment of tension was heating up the battle as the conflaguration around the battlefield made the ambient feel as hell on earth.

The tiger man used the moment to speak to Bit in a intriguing manner:
Fire Tiger said:

"Did you make that blade yourself, Mr. Moreau? It's quite exquisitely made. Is it powered by those versatile shells that you sky folk always seem to use? No, wait where are my manners. Let me introduce myself. I'm Kilij Dao Odachi blacksmith of the Backyard Pirates and if you let me study that blade I'll let go of the fact that you have attacked me multiple times without any rhyme or reason. What do you say, truce?"

"A... Pirate?" The birkan was confused by the tiger´s words, he couldn´t understand, howcome a pirate was working with a marine, he made a frown with his face as he tried to fathom the situation.

The revolutionary stepped back from the sword lock with a quick jump backwards. He took out his Heat Dial again and reabsorbed the heat from the blade into the Dial, turning his blade back to normal.
He then replied: "Sigh, you catch on quick, Mr. Odachi. These aren´t shells, they are dials, and this one in particular is a Heat Dial, it stores heat" the revolutionary said while holding the dial on his hand, showing it to the tiger for a quick moment before storing it back on his gear belt, and continued: "hence, as you can see, there is nothing unusual about my sword, your sword could also do that if you had one of this.. Just go to the Dial Store in Skypeia and buy one for 100 million berri. Buakakaka. Look even your friend has one" he laughed a little nervous, wondering if the tiger would try to take it from him.

Dabit kept his guard up as he appealed to the tiger mink:
"And i didn´t attacked you without a reason, first, you started this fire, tiger. Trying to kill everything on this island including us. Then you almost killed my friend over there" said Dabit signaling towards Link, as he kept talking: "and on top of everything, you side with this Marine... what are you trying to become the World Goverment´s dog? Or should i say cat? buakaka" Dabit laughed at his own joke, although he was serious about his claim, he couldn´t contain himself.

"My name is Dabit Iron, from the Revolutionary Army. And if you really are a pirate and want a truce with me, so i can give you the antidote and teach you about Dials, then you won´t mind saying goodbye to Mr. Marine over here. Buakaka"

Dabit laughed maniacally as he equipped his cyborg destruction weapon, the M203 Grenade Launcher, aimed it towards the skypeian marine (@Emperor Cross ) and fired! The heat was starting to get to his mind, he was acting more like a pirate than a revolutionary, the madness was bringing out his old hate towards the marine kind.
