(Starrk's POV)
"Shit." I said as Cregan and I jumped over the ship and landed on the docks, "Are we really going to intercept the Marines? They already docked, Cregan!"
Cregan nodded, "Yea." He said, "Marco is going around the island and will rendezvous with the rest of the crew. We can't let these marines to interrupt the meeting. Apparently the geezer wants to see it through without any bloodshed."
He does have a point. The Beehive is meant to be a neutral territory for pirates. A place where they can just relax and spend the time.
My problem is why the hell would the marines try to mess with pirates here of all places. Don't they know that they call it the Beehive for a reason? If they stick their head in it, they're bound to be stung! Besides, how'd the hell they expect to deal with something like this without some heavy hitters?
"Dammit, what's the plan?" I asked him
He gave me a smirk, "Something I like to call Isolated Violence." He said arrogantly, "We cut them off at the edge of the island and we just run amok! The rest of the pirates that reside here will be currently in the downtown area getting drunk and all that. We can take advantage and hold the marines back."
I blinked, "That's your plan?" I asked, "Just fighting?"
"Welcome to the New World, Starrk." Cregan said as he took off in a sprint, "Now lets get to it before its too late!"
I sighed and started to follow him.
After minutes of running, we got to the edge of the island where the Marines docked. We saw several of them already marching towards the towns.
We stopped and decided to hide in one of the alleys.
"Alright, We got to make sure they're a bit separated from the rest of the group." Cregan said, "Then we cut them down and make the rest swarm us. But lets be careful, there should be at least some officers that may know haki, they would be stupid to just bring fodder."
I nodded as I looked out the alley, "Can we expect a Vice-Admiral or two?" I asked
"Absolutely." Cregan replied, "If you can't, I'll handle them."
I then saw them starting to approach closer, "Whenever you're ready."
Cregan then drew his sword,
"Lets get to it, then."

(3rd Person POV)
On one of the Marine Battleships that was docked, there was a group of marines that crowded over a person who was sitting on a chair.
"Sir! But why are we even here?!" one of the marines exclaimed, "If our intel is correct, then we might have Yonko commanders on this island! Do you even think we can handle them! We're not that experienced in The New World!!"
The person who they were looking at with scared expressions was a young blonde woman who merely crossed her arms and closed her eyes in annoyance.
"Please say something! Lieutenant!" Another marine exclaimed
"Ugh!!" She growled as she stood up, "Shut up!! You're all weaklings!!!"
The marines scurried away in fear from her.
"Don't fucking bitch to me about this! If you got complaints, take it to the Vice Admiral!" She yelled out, "Quit yammering about what we're doing here and get to work! Load up the cannons or something! We should expect to open fire at Pirate scum!"
"Yes!" They all said as they scattered around the deck
"Ha!" A voice said
The Lieutenant turned to see a black haired young man wearing an officer coat like her.
"You're sure cold to them, Anne!" He said as he leaned on the rails of the ship, "Don't blame them, they're just nervous. They just transferred after all."
Anne glared at him, "Shut it Ricky!" She growled, "Ever since you dyed your hair, you're very irritating to look at!"
"Hey now, we're both Lieutenants." Ricky told her, "You ought to treat me with respect."
Before Anne could speak, a tall man walked up behind her and patted her shoulder.
"Take it easy, bruv." He said, "We're all comrades here. I take it you're also nervous."
Anne looked at him with a glare, "Oh you too?" She growled, "Fuck off, Liam."
She then stomped away.
The marine soldiers that saw this could only help but smile slightly.
"Lieutenant-Commander Liam sure reassures me with his presence." One of them said
Another nodded, "Yea." He said, "He can calm Lieutenant Anne with ease."
Liam walked over to the group of soldiers.
"Men, I understand that you are nervous." He said, "But there is nothing to worry about. This ship and its crew will jot partake in any battle. We will leave that to Vice-Admiral Borsalino and his men."
The soldiers let out a massive sigh of relief.
Ricky whistled, "What're we doing here if that guy is gonna wrap the pirates up for us?"
Liam looked at him, "Stand-by." He said, "Rear-Admiral Bell is currently listening to intel. And our Vice Admiral is on a call with higher ups."
Ricky leaned back and smirked, "I can't wait to get in action, really." He said, "All that training at hq and for what? Sit around and do nothing?"
"Calm down, bruv." Liam said, "We only trained for a few months. Its a wonder how we got promoted so quick."
"Its called talent, Liam. We was already pretty strong." Ricky replied
Before Liam said anything else, a door to the hull opened and Rear-Admiral Bell walked out.
All of the marines then saluted him almost immediately.
"Sir!" They said
"Men." Bell said, "According to Intel, this so called Yonko Summit will commence. If we are correct, Whitebeard and Ochouko will hold the meeting. The other Yonko crews should send one of their commanders. We have to find out why this is."
Before anyone else could say anything else, they could heard booming laughter from behind Bell.
"Hahahaha!!!" A large man bellowed behind Bell
All the marines immediately saluted, "Vice-Admiral Garp!!" They said in unison
Monkey D. Garp approached Bell and Liam as he clutched his stomach while he laughed.
"Hahaha! That Sengoku!!" He said as tears formed in his eyes, "He really kills me!! Ahahahha!!"
Bell raised an eyebrow at this, "Sir?"
He looked at Bell, "Oh nothing…" he said as he tried to hold his laughter in, "Its something that isn't even related to this event… its just funny to see him stress out about it…pufu!!"
Bell crossed his arms, "Is that what you were discussing with him?" He asked, "What seems to be the issue?"
"Apparently it has to do with that Pirate that is causing havoc.." he said, "That Dragon Knight guy, I don't know his name. Sengoku says that he now sunk one of Big Mom's ships!"
Liam and Ricky both looked at each other with confusion.
"Sir….isn't that bad?" Bell asked, "How is that funny?"
Garp looked at Bell and wiped tears off his eyes, "Oh well, the thing is, He didn't just sink a Yonko ship. Apparently he also raided a government ship and took the Heavenly Tribute that was meant for the Celestial Dragons!" He said, "And what's funny is that Sengoku and his fleet was supposed to guard that ship!! So not only did he sink a Yonko ship, he stole treasure and money from a government ship that Sengoku was in charge of! So now the Gorosei are on Sengoku's case! Hahahaha!! This is funny!!"
Bell looked at him, "But sir. Provoking a Yonko would be dire. How are we sure this pirate isn't going to be here and lure Big Mom here?" He asked
"Relax." Garp told him, "He was spotted near Dressrosa this morning. We should not worry about that now."
Bell nodded, "Understood."
"Besides, its been a long time since I've seen them." Garp said as he gave a menacing grin,
"Whitebeard and Ochouko."
