章 11: Chapter 11 Anger
Vice-Admiral Draw, drew out his sword from his waist as he began to walk towards me. Seeing his approach I gave orders to the marines who still stood by my side.
" Leave my side. Go and put out the fire and take care of the injured civilians."
Isuka hesitated and said, " But what about you? What should we do about Portgas D. Ace?"
I shook my head, " Leave them. We have more trouble now than ever. I'm afraid that I have caused you guys great trouble. However, this person, is someone I can't stand at all. How dare he involve the innocent bystanders?!"
Anger started to boil in my body as I 'heard' the desperate cries for help and pain. Knowing who my opponent is, I no longer held by and amplified my body to the max. Causing the amplification to rise about 20 times.
With the rise in Aura and power, the lower ranks of marines gulped down hard. Knowing that the only reason why my rank was only at the captain rank was because of my inexperience and not the power that I possess. After all, I was brought into recommendation by Vice-Admiral Garp himself and vouched for my combat abilities. They took a few steps back in disbelief of how I unhesitantly turned against them.
Soon, both I and Vice-Admiral Draw disappeared from our spot and clashed head on. Vice-Admiral was the most surprised one as he didn't think that my power would rival his, a Vice-Admiral who have risen through the ranks.
Vice-Admiral Draw, " It is surprising that a young one such as you possess such strength. You will be a great bane to the pirates in this pirate era. Unfortunately, you met me. Unfortunately, your views blind you of what you should do and what it takes to capture those vile pirates."
Sword against fist, the both of us clashed again and again. Vice admiral Draw had mastered the basics of armament haki, making him strong against all types of devil fruit users. Noticing that despite his powers, he could only fight me to a standstill.
He tossed his sword to the side and revealed the flamethrowers and fuel tank weapons.
Vice-Admiral Draw, " Burn! Burn alongside those pirates and those who dare stand in my way."
With his flamethrowers pointed at me, I merely frowned. But I know that I could not just let him use his weapons recklessly, it would only cause more harm, so I took to the sky and flew up.
Vice-admiral Draw scoffed at my actions and with a leap, he also took to the sky as he kicked the air continuously. " Don't think just because you can fly, it will give you an arial advantage."
He continued to kick into the air as he flew at all around me, surrounding me in fire. Trapped in this continuous flame, I sensed that this fueled flame generated a flame even hotter than Ace's ability. As I enveloped myself in an energy barrier, I slowly expand it and created a powerful energy barrier which pushed the flames away from burning my body.
With a slight movement, I directed the energy upwards, causing the flames to not just burst in my surroundings, but upwards, causing no harm to those below.
Vice-Admiral saw my actions and moved quickly, he appeared before me and instantly gripped my throat. He then placed another hand on my body as he activated his other flamethrower and activated it with full power.
With the firm grip around my throat and burning away the energy barrier around my body, causing my great pain, I quickly sensed myself losing consciousness starting to fade. But how could I let myself go so easily. If I fall here, what will happen to the innocent people still trying to get away? What will happen to the marines that followed my orders?
I grit my teeth as I gathered the rest of my strength, I destroyed the fuel tank behind his back, causing the fire that caused burns around my body to quickly die down. Without any fuel, the fire had no way of starting once again.
Vice-Admiral Draw's hand that clenched around my throat weakened slightly as he saw my actions. " Damn you."
However, that slight loosen of grip was all I needed to take advantage of him. I gripped his hand that was still wrapped around my throat and squeezed as hard as I possibly could. Flapped my wings downwards causing our downfall and 'boom' impacted the ground creating a crevice in the ground.
With his hand no longer on my throat, Vice-Admiral coughed out blood at the impact. I raised my arm as I didn't try to waist this chance and swung my fist downwards.
However, Vice-Admiral Draw raised his arms to block my punches with armament haki coating it. I punched blow for blow continuously not giving up. After a few hundred punches and the ground shaking with each strike, Vice-Admiral Draw's arms and haki soon gave in as he couldn't keep it up no longer. With that, I punched him another few times that he turned into a bloody pulp. I then stopped as I raised my hands in surrender.
Isuka also called out, " Captain Michael, the fire and civilians have all been taken care of."
I nodded my head and looked at the surroundings. The surroundings looked did not look as peaceful as before. Damages had occurred to the buildings and people were being escorted out and rushed to the hospitals. I sighed in relief as I noticed that things seems to have calmed down. Unfortunately, I can also no longer seen signs of the captured Portgas D. Ace. It seems like his crew has successfully rescued him and may have even escaped from this place.
" Good work Isuka."
Isuka's eyes began to water as she already knew what the outcome of their actions were. They would either be put in prison or immediately fired from the marines.
Isuka, " You don't have to say anything captain. I only wished that I could've followed you. Even though I had great respect for Vice-Admiral Draw who I though saved me and my town from when I was a child... seeing the flamethrower that he used, I realized something. It must've been him who burned down my hometown..."
I nodded my head, " I also thought Vice-Admiral Draw was a great man, but seeing his actions today..."
I no longer said a word as I allowed silence to rise in the atmosphere.
After a few minutes of silence I said again, " Put me in chains and turn me in Isuka..."
Isuka hesitated, " But... you acted for the people. Your actions helped saved the people from further harm."
Just as she was about to continue to defend my actions, I stopped her, " Enough. Even though I did indeed acted to save the people around me, my actions were still that of insubordination. I will most likely be punished for such actions."
Though still filled with hesitation, Isuka followed my orders as she put sea prism cuffs on my wrists.
Even though there were higher rank marine officers above her, everyone still hesitated as they did not know if I would attack them or not.
With the sense of uneasiness in my body, I was pulled along as the other officers surrounded me with guns and swords and started to escort me to the closest marine headquarters.
After about 10 minutes of walking, a sight that I could never have thought of seeing caught my eye.
What I saw was a man dressed in some kind of white clothing. There was some kind of bubble that went from his neck to the top of his head. However, what caught my eye wasn't his appearance. It was the face that he was sitting on a throne that was carried by four men, who looked beaten and hurt. He was laughing as he continuously whipped a few other men who had a collar on and chained to the throne. Like the man crawling like a down forwards, there were collars on all four men who carried the throne. There were two men dressed in black suits, shades, and a black hat stood behind the group, ignoring the sight before them, as if it was a normal occurrence.
Besides this group, there was a large crowd of people, kneeling on the ground with their face towards the ground full of fear. It looked like they were full of fear, not daring to look up at the man laughing and whipping the crawling person.
Seeing this scene, rage once again emerged from my body.
" How dare you!!"
I couldn't hold it in any longer. The audacity of the person in front of me. To treat people so cruelly, like a slave. I have never seen or heard of situations like this before in my entire life.
As rage still poured out and fill my body, took the keys from a nearby marine's waist, who was surprised at my outrage. Unlocked the sea prison cuffs and flew towards the strange man.
With rage, I punched him in his face, breaking the bubble and caused him to fly out his throne and crashed into the building.
Everyone, both the crowd and fellow marines looked in horror and surprise as they still saw that I was wearing a marine captain uniform. No one had expected such a person to strike against the man, yet a lone a marine. Weren't they on the same side? Were everyone's thoughts.
The two men in suits were brought out of their stupor as they looked at me in anger.
?? " How dare you marine?! To strike a celestial dragon! Know your place marine!"
I looked at them full of anger that caused them to take a step back, " Celestial dragon?"
Never have I heard of such a term. I did not receive much education of this world as I have only been here for around a month's time.
?? " Yes, a Celestial Dragon. They are descendants of the world's first 20 Kings of the World Government. If a person dares to harm them, a fleet of marines and an admiral will hunt them down."
Frowning, " Admiral"
?? " Yes. They are akin to gods. You have just caused all sorts of trouble now."
Frowning even deeper once again. " Gods? These are what you are called Gods?"
I walked towards the two and gripped their throats and raised the two high into the air.
" Gods?! Descendants of the first 20 Kings of the World Government?!" I repeated over again and again. As I gripped harder and harder.
" What kind of god treats people like this. Descendants of Kings?! What King would treat his people like this."
As I say these words over and over again. Anger continued to rise in my body. As a previous soldier, and served a King, I only know and saw a benevolent one. One who would take care of his own people with great care. God? The god that I know would sacrifice his own body just to make sure every one of his people is safe and happy. That God even didn't want to become one and grow a simple farm. Yet this person that I punched was called such a thing.
Just as I was about to send throw the people towards their 'god' I immediately felt a presence behind me.
?? " Oh my. Look at what we have here? We've recieved news that their was insubordination from one of the marines that Vice-Admiral Garp himself recommended."
