Chapter 15: Chapter 15: The Storm Strikes – Don Krieg’s Fleet Destruction
The Crimson Storm Pirates had been sailing peacefully under clear skies, the morning sun reflecting off the calm waves. The new flag fluttered proudly above their ship, a symbol of freedom and strength.
Xander stood at the ship's bow, his crimson eyes scanning the horizon. Mari prepared breakfast in the kitchen, while Nojiko and Nami chatted on deck.
Suddenly, a faint rumble echoed through the air. Nami's sharp eyes narrowed as she pointed ahead.
"Xander, look over there!"
In the distance, dozens of ships loomed—hulking masses of wood and steel, bristling with cannons and weaponry. At the center of the fleet was a massive flagship, its black sails emblazoned with Don Krieg's skull insignia.
Nami's face paled. "That's Don Krieg's fleet! He's a monster in East Blue—this is bad!"
Mari stepped onto the deck, a spoon still in hand. "How many ships are there?"
"At least twenty," Nami replied, fear creeping into her voice. "We need to turn back! There's no way we can—"
"Turn back?" Xander's voice interrupted, calm and steady. He cracked his knuckles, the corner of his lips lifting into a smirk. "This is a perfect opportunity to show just how strong we are."
Nojiko glanced at him incredulously. "You're not serious… right?"
Xander turned toward the crew, his crimson eyes blazing with determination. "Stay on the ship and keep it steady. I'll handle them."

The Onslaught Begins
As the Crimson Storm Pirates' ship sailed straight into the fleet, cannon fire erupted. Explosions lit up the water as Krieg's men cheered, thinking the smaller ship would be destroyed instantly.
"Fire! Sink them!" Krieg's voice roared from the flagship, echoing across the battlefield.
Nami clenched the ship's wheel, struggling to dodge incoming fire. "Xander! What are you waiting for?!"
Xander stood calmly at the ship's bow, his long black hair flowing in the wind. He raised one hand, coating his arm in shimmering Armament Haki.
BOOM!
A cannonball hurtled straight toward him, but with a single punch, Xander shattered it mid-air. The force of his strike sent shockwaves rippling outward, capsizing one of Krieg's smaller ships in an instant.
The battlefield fell silent for a brief moment.
"What the hell?!" Krieg's men shouted, fear replacing their arrogance.
Xander leaped into the air, his body spinning as he landed on the deck of one of the enemy ships. The pirates scrambled to attack, drawing swords and guns, but Xander's movements were a blur.
With every swing of his arm, he sent men flying into the sea. His Armament Haki-coated strikes shattered weapons and broke planks underfoot.
"Who the hell is this guy?!" one pirate screamed before being knocked unconscious by a single punch.

From the flagship, Don Krieg growled, his golden armor gleaming under the sun. "So, you think you're strong, huh? I'll show you what happens when you mess with me!"
Krieg jumped from his ship, landing on the deck with a thunderous crash. His men cheered as he raised a massive cannon attached to his arm.
"Take this! MH5 Poison Gas Bomb!" Krieg roared, launching a metallic canister toward Xander.
The bomb exploded mid-air, releasing a thick, green cloud of poison. Krieg laughed maniacally. "No one can escape my poison!"
From within the cloud, a calm voice echoed.
"Is that all you've got?"
Krieg's laughter stopped as the poison was blown away by a sudden gust of wind. Xander stood unharmed, his crimson eyes glowing faintly. The wind swirled around him, water droplets from the sea rising like floating beads.
"Let me show you what real power looks like."
Xander clenched his fist, and the swirling water formed a massive spear-like torrent, rotating with deadly force.
"Water Spear: Storm Breaker!"
He hurled the water spear toward Krieg's flagship. The impact was cataclysmic. The massive ship split in half with a deafening crack, the explosion of wood and water creating tidal waves that rocked the other ships.
Krieg, drenched and struggling to stand, coughed violently. "This… can't be…!"
Xander landed in front of him, his Armament Haki coating his fist.
"Don Krieg, you're nothing but a small-time tyrant."
With a final, earth-shattering punch, Xander smashed Krieg into the deck, the force of the blow sending shockwaves across the battlefield. Krieg's golden armor shattered like glass, and he collapsed, on to his knees with his lifeless body and met his end to Xander's hand.

The remaining ships, leaderless and terrified, quickly surrendered. Pirates jumped into the sea, begging for mercy as Xander stood tall amid the wreckage.
Back on the Crimson Storm Pirates' ship, Nami and Nojiko watched in stunned silence.
"He… he destroyed them all," Nojiko whispered.
Mari grinned proudly, hands on her hips. "That's our Captain for you."
Xander returned to the ship, completely calm as if nothing had happened. "All clear. Let's set sail."
Nami gaped at him. "All clear? You just wiped out an entire fleet!"
Xander shrugged. "They were in our way."
