( Achilles' Pov )
' This is it!' I thought to myself as I watched Bullet get betrayed by his father figure and the forces of Galzburg. I wanted to save him earlier, but I wanted his loyalty towards myself so I decided to wait until the very end.
After a long wait, my moment to shine finally came when it looked like Douglas had given up on life; he was closing his eyes and had bullets riddled all over his body. Before the next round of bullets could hit him, and subsequently end Douglas's life for good, I used shave to appear in front of him.
" I would appreciate it if you guys didn't kill my first mate," I said to the Galzburg forces, blocking all of the bullets being shot at Bullet with my body. Effectively preventing them from hitting Bullet. I did this by using Iron body.
They stopped firing once they realized their bullets weren't going to hurt me. They looked me at in pure horror as someone had just stopped their fire with just their body.
" No way. Is that you, Achilles?" I heard Douglas behind me say with pain and a tiny bit of happiness from what I could make out from his voice.
" Yeah, it's me, leave the rest to me, buddy. But in the meantime, you should take a good, long rest."
" Who the hell are you?" Gray shouted at me with his voice trembling from a weird mixture of fear and anger. Though I really didn't care since I was currently adjusting Bullet's position so he could be set in a way that wouldn't further agitate his wounds.
" Me? Well, I'm his Captain. And you just tried to kill my first mate." I said to them as my voice took on a hateful tone. Admittedly I knew this was going to happen the moment I decided to wait until the very last moment to save him. But seeing him on death's door pissed me off, whether that was at myself for being so selfish or at them for trying to kill him out of jealousy I truly didn't know.
" So you're a pirate? Then why the hell would I care if you're his so-called Captain!" Gray shouted while picking up a random sword from the ground before coming charging towards me swinging the sword around like a madman. The rest of his men tried shooting at me, whilst some picked up swords and charged at me as well.
I managed to dodge the bullets with some difficulty as the people shooting them were fully trained soldiers, not some random pirates on the sea. Also having 5 guys swinging swords trying to kill you doesn't make it any easier.
As I was dodging everything, I soon entered the same strange state I was in when I was fighting against dad. It was like I could see everyone for a brief moment, and where the attacks were coming from.
' So this is observation haki?' I asked myself, feeling more powerful than ever at this moment. But that high was short-lived as a few seconds later I couldn't access it anymore.
' Fuck it, I'm ending this right now.' I thought to myself whilst jumping high up in the air since I couldn't use my observation haki anymore. Due to that, I didn't see the point of prolonging this fight if I couldn't train my haki.

I said in a very quiet voice as I never quite understood why the main characters always scream out their techniques. It hurt my throat when I tried it.
I punched the air in front of me repeatedly causing decent-sized shockwaves to be launched everywhere under me.

I couldn't see anything for a while since there was a massive cloud of dust covering everything.
When the dust all cleared out, the only standing figure on the opposing side was the bloody and beaten form of Douglas Gray.
" You bastard! You ruined everything! I should have been the king of this place by the end of this day!" Gray screamed out in hate, with tears falling freely from his face.
If I wasn't wrong Gray was going through a severe mental breakdown right now. And to be honest I couldn't fault him as he has just had all of his plans ruined by some random kid. But then again I couldn't find it in myself to give a shit, so I used shave to appear behind him cutting off his long-winded rant, and I knocked him out with a simple chop to the back of his head.
I made sure to keep him alive so when Bullet was all healed up, he would be able to decide this man's fate.
