[Sabaody Archipelago]
Tashigi looked on in horror at what was meant to be a clear mission of preventing destruction, has now completely failed. The distract was littered with craters, dead tree's the size of islands and worst of all the Pirates are not even the ones responsible for the mess.
"How can Ramos-sama be so careless." She pondered as she watched her superior battle Warlord Hanafuda.
Ramos held the giant lizard by it's tail, heels dug into the Earth as he twirled the monster around like one would do a child, the action caused strong winds that tore into bark and sent those unlucky to be in range off to the mangrove.
Tashigi stabbed her sword in the earth to prevent herself from being vacuumed by the harsh winds. "His acting like we're not here!" She gritted her teeth.
Doll stood unfazed by the environment, eyes focused on the Kuja Pirates watching the fight,"The idiot took all the fun." She ticked in annoyance. Making eye contact with Boa Hancock who has freed her captive sisters, the two woman were sizing each other up, instincts assessing if a duel would be necessary.
Boa side eyed the Vice Admiral, "Are you going let us be hound of the Government?" Boa teased.
A tick mark appeared on Doll's forehead, "Watch your mouth pirate." She warned.
Tashigi felt the air get cold, her heart hammered against her chest as the creeping feeling of a something bad is about to happen pricked her skin."Vice-Admiral Doll...I don't think we should –"
Bang,Thud
The ground rocked beneath them, turning to see Ramos has slammed the Lizard to kiss the ground, embedding it's shape into the Earth. Hanafuda returned to his base form, blood trailing down his mouth and body marked by bruises.
"Ughh–t-that hurts..." Hanafuda groaned in pain.
Ramos looked at the Warlord in annoyance, "Get up Lizard man, I barely broke sweat." He barked.
"You're a monster."
"That's ironic."
"Let me go and I can offer Zoan devil fruits." Hanafuda offered.
"Not interested. " Ramos picked his ear."I was going loot your ship after I captured you,so it's no point of trying to bribe." Ramos chuckled.
"You realise I'm under Kaido's command–once he finds out I've been, he'll stop at nothing to get these devil fruits. " Hanafuda grinned.
Ramos was not bothered by his claim."Kaido can try to break you out Impel down, I'll lock him up too."
"Hahaha –You're truly delusional boy."Hanafuda laughed through grunts.
Zzzt
Ramos sent a wave of conquerors haki focused on Hanafuda, the red energy slammed his head back down. Eyes rolled back and foaming in the mouth. The Warlord was defeated.
Ramos sighed at the lacklustre ending, carrying the pirate on his shoulder, he made his way to Doll and Tashigi.
Zoom
Ramos felt a gust of wind,past by him, his observation haki flared in warning of a threat near Tashigi and Doll.
"Damn it." Ramos cursed,moving at speed beyond ocular comparison. He sped towards the yellow blurr.
Doll haled her movements towards the Empress as a hand grasped her shoulder.
"There's no need for to cause another scene miss~" A deep pickled down her skin,nerves on edge as her breath hitched.
"W-who...are you?" Doll asked,voice shaking at the end.
"Old man,do not disturb my fight." Hancock hissed at the intruder.
Silvers Raleigh, the Dark King and former right-hand to Pirate King Gol D. Roger. Maybe be elderly in appearance but still a threat at a similar calibre to Whitebeard.
Tashigi froze like a statue next Doll, the man's shadow consumed her form,her hand reused to reach for her sword out of crippling fear.
"N-No way–how is he here." Tashigi stuttered.
Raleigh smirked at their reactions, "It's flattering to see the youth still quiver at my name,makes an old man blush." He chuckled.
Doll gritted her teeth at the helplessness of her situation. "Tashigi,standing down."
"Vice-Admiral Doll...I–"
Her protest was caught of by Doll's glare,shutting her mouth,she bowed her head in defeat.
Hancock crossed her arms under he prominent chest,pouting her cheeks,the Empress looked at the legend with distaste.
"I do not accept your chivalry old pervert!" She cursed out her protector.
"Wow–this what I get for meddling in young people business." Raleigh, snorted. Hand still resting on Doll's shoulder as the lower ranking Marines were all unconscious.
Raleigh's retort was interrupted by a by a sudden attack.
BOOM!
A pitch black fist connected with Raleigh's forearm, the Dark King,skidded across the grove,rubbing the bruise growing on his arm.
"That hurts you know..." Ge clicked his tongue.
Ramos was beside Doll,holding her by the waist too her annoyance and blooming blush.
"You ok Doll?" Ramos asked.
"Let go of me now!" She demanded, face turning red,as his fingers circled her tone stomach. "I'll kill you for this."
"That can wait–" Ramos replied, eyes locked with Raleigh's. "You're still smiling old man?"
"Sorry, you're hit reminded me of a certain someone." Raleigh thought out old.
"Well let's see how much nostalgia this beating will give you." Ramos let go of Doll,marching towards the pirate.
"Oh–this generation is quite brave." Raleigh laughed, unsheating his blade.
"Let's dance kid~".
"Shut up!"
The two charged each other, at near light speed. A battle that will split the heavens open.
