battle begins

after listening for a brief explanation we are about to get ourselves into a full-on battle. the machop part of me is ecstatic but the human part is a little upset that they didn't just take the pirates out put them in a brig then feed them instead of feeding them then fight an uphill battle that will result in some casualties.

waiting for the battle to begin a small vessel approached with a single man aboard. in a split second after he arrived the massive ship was split in half with a single swing of his sword. I could already fill my blood racing with excitement with the prospect of facing such a strong opponent. I was about to rush out and challenge him when Zoro the green-haired bastard beat me to it. sadly because it is a duel I let the battle commence.

The battle was very impressive as the swordsman completely trounced Zoro with a small knife and ended with zoro severely wounded and the swordsman leaving. I also wanted to fight him but decided not to as I would lose easily and I have to be in top shape for the upcoming battle.

with the duel over I found out that nami took off with the ship. it's a bit of a dilemma as I can't just leave the fight but we still need to get our ship back. luffy decided to send ussop after nami while we fight the battle.

starting off the battle the cooks opened a platform on the ship to fight on and deployed some fish-shaped boat with cannons which did nothing as the armored guy tossed it our way. Sanji the blond guy ended up knocking it away after which a boring fight commenced with nothing but small fries rushing at us. A fight of this level can't get the adrenalin pumping at all so I just sat there. every once and a while a weakling would charge at me thinking I was easy picking which would end with a quick toss and they would be overboard. Nothing else happened till some weirdo covered in shields popped up from the water.

(weirdo) just what do you guys think you are doing? well, let us begin let me introduce myself I am the invincible pearl.

machop ma machop(invisible huh let me just see how invincible you are)

(pearl) what is this? it is commendable that one such as you would challenge I pearl the invincible I have won all sixty-one of my battle unharmed so a small beast such as yourself has no chance.

walking up to this smug bastard I got into a fighting stance.

(pearl) very well I shall show how big the gap between us truly is.

he punched at me with a right trying to clock me with one of the shields that adorn him but I grab it with both hands. because of the sheer difference in height between us to try and punch me, he had to bend over which gave me an advantage as his center of gravity was off.

I yanked on his arm and using one hand to pull and the other to grab his falling body and flip him onto his back standing over his head I deliver a punch to his face leaving him a bloody nose.

For some reason, everything just stopped as pearl slowly touched his blood

(pearl) danger dangerous!

quickly getting back on his feet he started yelling and banging his shields together and catching fire

(pearl) burn burn with my flaming shield I am invincible.

shit if this guy keeps going he's gonna burn down the entire ship.

trying to punch him I was blocked but managed to push him back several feet.

(pearl) what? why aren't you scared my fire scares everyone away?

ma machop(I've been looking for something to practice fire punch with)

(pearl) you're to dangerous, fire I need more fire

he launched several flaming balls toward the kitchen luckily someone intercepted them and put the fire out before it spread any farther
