49. One Another
Rushing through the storm in quick steps with his Geppo(Moonwalk), Kimimaro smiled helplessly seeing a massive squid under the heavy storm getting enraged by the Marines retaliation.
"Sengoku must reimburse our trip and give us huge bonus!" Mumbled Kimimaro.
In no time Kimimaro finally arrived at the huge squid, he saw the creature's eyes had already turned red filled with rage after Momonga cutted several tentacles from it.
"Unfortunately, I've no time to taste your meat, Tessenka no Mai: Hana(Dance of Clematis: Flower)."
Kimimaro's right hand transformed into huge drill after numerous bones of his hand sprouted out and coiled around.
Covering his bone drill with Busoshoku(Color of Armament) Haki, Kimimaro kicked the air behind using Geppo(Moonwalk) and pointing the huge bone drill on his right hand right at the creature's head right between its eyes.
*Crush!!!
Without any resistance, Kimimaro pierced through the squid's head leaving a huge bloodied wind hole on it!
In about a second later Kimimaro appeared from the creature's back seeing it wriggled wildly, splashing around the seawater while dark red blood sprouting out from the hole.
Seeing the huge squid still have some vitality left, Kimimaro simply pierced it once again from the back this time.
*SCREEEEECH....
Feeling the creature's vitality dissipate rapidly Kimimaro simply turned his attention back towards the Whitebeard Pirates Ship which silently encroaching behind his own ship.
once again utilizing his Geppo(Moonwalk), Kimimaro left the struggling squid wriggling about as its massive body slowly drown into the abyss.
Meanwhile, after making sure his commander took care of the massive creature, Momonga refocused his attention towards his remaining crew.
"STEADY! GO HELP THE OTHERS! PRIORITIZE THOSE NEAREST TO YOU!"
while shouting commands, Momonga almost failed to notice there was another man who had appeared besides him!
"HUH?!"
*CLANK!
Momonga grunted heavily as he almost failed to block the incoming sword slash from his side!
"Vista!" He recognized the asaillant as the 5th commander of Whitebeard pirates immediately!
"I've no time for this! Give us Vegapunk and we'll leave peacefully!" In between the sword's sparks between him and Momonga, Vista simply shouted his demand.
Vista couldn't help it, the strange rainstorm and the power displayed by the earlier clash between King and Enel gave him an uneasy feeling, he didn't want to stays there any longer. The faster he had done his mission, the faster he left from there.
Prolonging the battle doesn't gave them any benefit, so he shouted his demands in such urgency.
Momonga scowled as he flicked away the sword and retreated several steps behind, his contenance turned ugly as he finally noticed that the Whitebeard ship had ever come closer to their ship!
"In your dream!" Momonga refused to budge as he brandished his sword forward.
Twirling his twin swords, Vista grinned manically and shouted, "Fine then! Your call!"
Vista suddenly dashed forward while pointing his right sword forward while his left sword following behind,
"RŌZU DESU RŌDO(Rose death road)."
a flower path appeared on his way against Momonga ahead! his sharp sword gave a glint of redlike rose as he approached Momonga!
*Wooosh!
Momonga thought in an instant to face his enemies technique, due to his exhaustion from the earlier combat against the Beast Pirate, Momonga judged that he couldn't afford to confront Vista head on!
*Crash!
As momonga side stepped quickly using his own Soru(Shave), Vista's piercing attack arrived instantly! Alas, when Vista conjure countless roses from his technique several rose petals attached themselves onto Momonga's body!
"Guuukh!" Momonga couldn't help but let out a grunt as he saw his body getting slashed by the rose petals!
However, His experience as Rear Admiral gave him an ample time to retaliate, seeing Vista side showing an opening Momonga return the favor by swinging his own swords!
Vista smirked slightly when he saw Momonga's attempt to hack his side, calmly he pulled back the outstretched sword and counter attacked!
"Rōzu Rondo(Rose Round Dance)." Vista sommersaulted backwards as he thrust his twin swords repeatedly forward, generating countless rose petals against Momonga!
*Slash! *Slash! *Slash!
Momonga almost couldn't react properly as he tried to cancel his swing, as Vista launched the rose petals against him, any petals that failed to be blocked by Momonga gave him countles wound cuts!
"Don't understimate me! Hageshi Zangeki(Heavy Slash)." ignoring the countless petals that could cut him, Momonga swung his sword heavily against Vista.
*Boooom!
The Marine Warship's side railing immediately destroyed by Momonga's crescent shaped slash, leaving a trail of destruction on its wake.
Momonga squinted his eyes as his breath turned ragged as he saw Vista reappeared not far from him seemingly unscathed!
"That was dangerous, monsieur Momonga." Vista grinned after he saw his own crews managed to invade the Marine ship including his fellow commander Jozu.
Momonga too had noticed the pirates action, however he soon breathe slightly relieved seeing Kimimaro had already dashed towards them.
On Zoju side, after he managed to stepping on the Marine ship, he couldn't help but feeling weird when he saw the ship was lacking in crews, he almost couldn't believed that this was the ship which carried Vegapunk.
facing no less than 100 crews of Whitebeard's pirate with only 10 men as Tiana and the other need to control the ship under the storm. leaving only Daigin alongside his mates mustered up their strength to welcome another invasion.
"Steady men..." Daigin grumbled as he brandished his own great sword.
