[Gates of Justice]
Ramos's ship was sailing out the proximity of Marineford towards Sabaody Archipelago as a call made about a battle between Boa Hancock and Hanafuda, of Kaido's Tobiroppo. A feud between two Warlords, especially one with Yonko affiliation is bound chaos havoc,especially in a place full of nobles,it was mandatory to take action.
Ramos observed the waves by the ships, he had a swollen eye, a busted lip and bumps on his head. A beating his men witnessed by the hands of Vice-Admiral Doll, the tall, pixie cut, blue eyed woman who wears a spiked collar is equally as fierce as she is beautiful.
Standing next to herbwas Tashigi, arms crossed and smirking at the state of her superior. "Serves you right." She teased.
Doll glanced at the Captain, "Tashigi, did this idiot try anything on you?"
"W-Wait Doll! Tashigi is strictly my student, I promise." Ramos hastily said.
Doll ignored him,coating her fist in Armament Haki, "Don't worry Tashigi,I'll make sure he doesn't interrupt you." Doll assured her.
Ramos looked frantically at Tashigi,eyes begging her to spare him from another beating. "Tashigi...please. "
Tashigi sighed, looking at her pathetic teacher,"No Vice-Admiral Doll, he didn't try anything on me."
Ramos sighed in relief. 'Thank you Tashigi.' He thought to himself.
Doll scowled at his reaction, " Don't think you're off the hook yet, we need to have a long talk about your relationship with Hina,Gion and Sonya. " Doll threatened, blush creeping her neck.
"Doll,sometimes your method of flirting is confusing. " He nervously chuckled.
"This isn't flirting idiot! I'm making sure you're kept on a leash." She stated,eyes burning into his. "You're under my authority for this voyage, understood. "
"Understood..." He replied.
[Sabaody Archipelago]
In a distract of the Island, sounds of explosions were heard and smoke engulfed is section of the forest as the Kuja Pirates were in battle against Hanafuda and his henchmem. Kaido's army of man-beasts hybrids were relentless in their fight against the Kuja.
"Do not falter sisters!" Marigold roared,deflecting a sword attack from behind her.
Sandersonia was in her serpent hybrid form, dismantling dozens of enemies with her tail swings. "Sissstersss–don't underestimate these vile men."
Boa Hancock was surrounded by statues of love struck henchmen that barely stood a chance against her. Staring at Hanafuda who had Marguerite and Aphelandra tied up behind him.
"Release my warriors you putrid man!" Hancock gritted her teeth, hands in a heart shape.
Hanafuda, held is sickle,coated in Armament Haki, "Don't not try me woman, I'll hand you over to Kaido just like your weakling Kuja." He spat.
Hancock was angered at words and charged at him with blinking speed.
BOOM!
The Earth cracked under the force of their haki infused strikes clashing, sparks flew as Hancock's heel and Hanafuda's sickle clashed. The two were in a haki stalemate, waiting for the other to waiver.
"Infuriating woman."
"Horrific lizard."
In a blur,they clashed again, shock waves travelling across the battlefield, some of Hanafuda's henchmen were sent back by the shock waves,a few Kuja rattled by the power. Sandersonia and Marigold helped finishing off the remaining Beasts Pirates.
"Focus sisters, hebihime will handle him." The Boa sister's rallied their sisters'
Back to the Warlords, Hancock was sending blast of her Mero Mero no Mi. Hanafuda dodged each blast, responding with his projectile slashes.
Slash
The projectile cut a enormous tree in half, Hancock, stood a few feet from the attack, catching her breath as their strength was evenly matched.
"Strong bastard. " She begrudgingly admitted.
Hanafuda standing a few feet from her, was also panting,"This is a waste of time, I'll have to catch the hard way." He chuckled,maniacally. His body starting morphing as his grew larger,hands turning to claws,skin more scale-like and neck expanding to a frill. Hanafuda transformed to a giant Frilled-neck Lizard,towering the Empress as the Giant lizard stood on its back legs,sprinting towards her. The ground violently shook under its weight.
Hancock lost her centre of gravity as the Lizard man approached her.
"Hebihime!" Sandersonia and Marigold yelled.
Hancock coated her arms in haki as Hanafuda sent a tail swings at her.
Bang!
Her body crashed into a thick tree, blood splattered out her mouth as she fell to the trees roots.
"Ughh–" She groaned as her blurry vision saw Hanafuda still charging in his beast form. The cries of her sisters were muted by the ringing in her ear. "S-Sister's retreat the captives before he notices." Hancock ordered, standing up,despite her injury.
"I won't let you sell us you four legged demon."
Hisss
Hanafuda continued his charge,each monstrous step shock the mangrove.
"Come here Empress!"
Bzzt
A wave of red energy engulfed the battlefield as all the standing henchmen, lost consciousness. A few the Kuja,were brought to one knee as the pressure still effected them.
Marigold and Sandersonia, felt their legs shake under the pressure, still standing. "Sister,did you feel that?" Marigold panted.
"It's the same ability as Hebihime. " Sandersonia hissed.
Hanafuda halted his attack as his instincts told him to retreat, ignoring the fear he turned to the source of the haki release.
"Who dares–"
His words were cut off as a sudden pain hit his stomach,a black blur embedded his stomach as he was sent flying to a nearby tree. Breaking the ancient bark in the process.
Hancock looked in shock at what happened, her eyes were on the person responsible for one shoting ger oppont.
"W-Who...are you?" She muttered.
Ramos stood over the Warlord, coat flapping in the wind,as his fist wasn't even coated on haki,his eyes glanced at the Empress.
"Stay back Empress, this might get bloody." He grinned, walking towards Hanafuda, Ramos had a glint in his eyes that only came from battle.
"Finally! A new punching bag." He said.
