Clash! Silver Gale Pirates vs Marines

Rain Dinners,

At the underground chamber, Crocodile could be seen sitting with two people.

"Marines already came to arrest you and seem to know you were here, Captain of the Silver Gale Pirates, Trik." Crocodile coldly spoke.

Trik is a tall man with an orange-brown long hair and a goatee around his chin. He also had a stitched scar running down on his forehead.

He wore an open blue shirt and gray pants with a sword on his right hip. Later in the anime, he was given a different color scheme.

"Haha, Mr. Crocodile with your position as one of the seven Shichibukai it won't be a problem to take care of them, right?" Trik, Captian of the silver Gale pirates said with a laugh.

Beside him sat another man, who had a cold and grim look on his face. He is the Vice-captain of the Silver Gale Pirates, Jett.

Jett is almost as tall as his captain. He wore a brown coat which covered till his knees and dark-colored pants tucked inside his boots; One could see a flintlock pistol which is also tucked inside his boots.

"I can't openly oppose the Marines even though I am an ally of the World Government. Moreover, you aren't even my subordinate." Crocodile spoke.

"But, there is a way for you to become my subordinate..." Crocodile spoke again.

"What is it?" Trik hurriedly asked. The reason he came to Alabasta was to join Shichibukai so that he can run rampant on the sea without Marine's pursuit.

Crocodile also in need of some powerful underlings to complete his plan faster. But, after knowing that Silver Gale pirates are pursued by Marines from Headquarters, he was hesitating whether to lend them a hand or not.

So, he finally chose to test Trik's strength and decide after seeing that.

"I heard a report from my subordinate that a captain from Marine Headquarters came to Alabasta in search of you." Crocodile stated.

"Marine Captain? Hmph. In the north blue, we already sunk some Marine ships with a captain in the sea but didn't expect the Marines to be dumb enough to once again send captian level figure." Trik haughtily said.

"Idiot! Don't compare ordinary marine captains with Marine Headquarters, otherwise, you will lose badly."

"Your task is to deal with the Marines in Alabasta who came after you and then we will speak about our collaboration," Crocodile told.

"That's all? Hehe, It's just a piece of cake for us." Trik spoke and left with Jett.

Crocodile shook his head and inwardly muttered, 'Fools!'

After 30 minutes, Rey finally reached the Rain Base thanks to the direction given by Robin. He then arrived at an alley where Mia and other Marine soldiers are waiting.

"Captian," The soldiers respectful saluted as they begin to respect Rey ever since the attack on Pirate ship which was perfectly executed.

"Mia, any news?" Rey asked.

"We inquired and found the Silver Gale pirates entered that large pyramid-shaped building", Mia said and pointed her hands at Crocodile's base.

"It's also the Shichibukai Sir Crocodile's base so we can't launch an attack." Mia continued.

"Don't worry, let's go," Rey said and marched towards Rain Dinners with other Marine soldiers who came with Mia.

At the same time, Silver Gale Pirates also came outside of the Rain Dinners owned by Crocodile. This came as a surprise to Rey since he thought crocodile will protect them.

"Silver Gale Trik, you are under the arrest for killing the incorrect civilians, sinking marine ships and disrupting the world's peace." Mia loudly announced.

"Hahaha, you came at the right time marines, saving my time of searching you. Men, Go wild and Kill every marine you see on sight." Trike stated, pointing his sword towards Marines.

Soon, the place before Rain dinners became the battlefield between Marines and Silver Gale Pirates.

On Silver Gale pirates' side, there are only 20 some peoples including their Captian and Vice Captian.

On Rey's side, there are more than 30 soldiers carrying guns and swords.

"Mia, you take care of their Vice Captain Jett, I will deal with Silver Gale Trik," Rey said and dashed towards Trik.

Rey wanted to test the strength of the man with 70 million berries of bounty. Trik also approached Rey in fast pace sensing they would win the fight if he defeats the Marine youth before him.

Rey took out his staff noticing Trik attacking with his sword. Soon, both Rey and Trik weapon's clashed with one another.

As soon as both of them collided, Rey figured out his opponent's strength. What surprised Rey is, Trik is not as strong as pointed in the report.

Trik's sword arts are not even that great as Rey was easily able to block every attack. Even so, Rey didn't launch his attacks but just defended himself.

But, Rey had a bad feeling about this like he was tricked by someone. Suddenly, Trik wildly laughed and said, "Hahaha, not bad...you are the first person who was able to fight me pair this far."

Trik suddenly slashed at Rey from the distance and a type of breeze whirled towards him at breakneck speed.

Rey was astonished but soon defended himself using his staff but from nowhere his clothes are ripped and multiple cuts appeared on his body, harming Rey.

'What happened?' Rey was startled. Even though the injuries are not deep, it's a disgrace to Rey who didn't know how he was injured.

"Hehe, Marine, witness my true power and feel despair..." Trik smirked and charged again.

Rey soon recovered from his stupor and defended from invincible swords attacks of Trik using 'Soru' while carefully observing his opponent's strikes.

"I understand, so that's what happened." Rey suddenly smiled. He easily guessed Trik have eaten a devil fruit from his observation and that too, a fruit he was familiar with.

'He ate a Slash-Slash fruit.' Rey pondered. He also knows this fruit is also called Kama Kama no Mi which gives the user an ability to create slicing air blades.

In Anime, it was eaten by Mercenary Eric who was hired by Nelson to capture the girl named Apis and to find the Thousand Year Dragon, Ryu.

Eric was not as powerful as Trik who was able to unleash his abilities using a sword, unlike Eric who only used sharp nails.

Trik's usage of Slash fruit could be said creative as he was able to utilize it properly but due to his sword arts being weaker, he wasn't able to bring out his full potential.

"Haha, you have eaten an interesting devil fruit. Come!" Rey said, excited.
