Smoke filled the air as the Cannons from the Ember and the Barbary Pirates continued to explode through the air, The water was now no longer the calm strange and dark liquid that it was before. Now it was torrential with waves disturbed in to giant waves from all the concussive force
Jeanne spun the wheels of the Crows Nest gun, quickly taking aim at the top mast of the enemy ships, before launching two foot long rounds that sheared through them!
But no matter how many ships that either Calliope or Jeanne shot down, there seemed to be five more that took their place! The Barbary Pirates were over 200 ships strong!
There was an upside however, now the Ember was close enough, with in 100 meters of the other ships that the fighters of the crew could now jump into the action!
"Leroy! Kale! Noir! Any one! We're in range!" Kirk announced, Leroy's smile widening as he ran up the stairs, up to the figurehead and then taking a mighty leap off it! Launching high into the air! w
From the vantage point he could see below him that Noir and Kale were also launching into action as well, fighting immediately breaking out on the ships that were noticeably rocked by the force of their landings!
Kicking off the Air, Leroy launched down to a Nearby Galleon! Swooping down to the side of the ship, and in the air, kicking again and slamming through the side of the ship straight into the gun deck!
"What was that?!" A man with a thin face and and stubble across his face asked. He wore a headwrap across his head, along with long baggy pants with a low inseam, a large falchion sword quickly being drawn. This man was a member of the upper elites of Barbary's army known as the Corsairs.
They were members of a mercenary group that Barbary had conquered years before. There were well over a thousand of them when he fought them, their home island, Oto, was left asunder by Barbary. Many of them would be worth 20,000,000 berry on their own
The Corsair activated his Devil Fruit, Hyena Hyena fruit. His face shifted into a long muzzle, the back of his neck becoming a large hedge of wild fur, the silk open vest he wore stretched across his chest
Only for a moment later, Leroy burst through the wooden deck of the ship! Destroying a large amount of it! The Corsair brought his sword back, but before he could let the blade loose–
"Gum Gum Shot!" Red Sash Slammed his elongated fist into the Mans snout! Blood erupting as he slammed through the back of the ship and splashing into the sea!
With a quick fist into the Deck of the ship, Leroy's arm stretched down and slammed into the keel! Destroying it and causing water to quickly flood into the lower deck!
Noir was in a fight of his own with a Corsair. A man with slicked back hair, and a large square face. He wore Sea Stone Knuckle Dusters, and was trying vigorously to try and land a hit onto the Red Sash Chef.
Noir however was far to quick for him to even have a chance of landing even a grazing scratch on the man wearing a black turtleneck "Coltello da Bistecca!" Noirs foot slammed into the the Corsairs chin, snapping his neck backwards and sending him high up into the air! Flipping quickly like a pencil being thrown up into the air!
Kale only needed The VI for all of the Opponents on the Man o War he was handling. Dozens of rounds were fired at him, but like a graceful dancer, his footwork maneuvered through them like a leaf in the wind.
One slash was all it took to take down the Spiked Leather wearing Barbary Pirates, Some of his attacks were more brutal then the others, hands being lobbed off, when it came to swinging his blade, Kale always fought with Valor as a part of his Ronin ways. He was not barbaric in his attacks, overly causing damage, and making sure that their deaths were quick. Even if he tended to be bloodthirsty
A slice to the neck, and relieving one of their head, another through the sternum. It was like cutting butter, easily being able to slice a man in half.
Barbary never had Slaves on his War Ships. He thought it was far too risky to have his product have the chance to be killed while on the sea of piracy. So any of the Pirates that died, were individuals that were putting their lives on the line knowing exactly what they were going to get themselves into by joining a Marshal of All people.
Even those that were forced to fight, took the chance to jump overboard. And would rather take the chance in the Bleak sea than face death for a man they didn't give their allegiance too willingly
Back on the Ember, Cali was beginning to sweat. She had stopped nearly a thousand rounds of ammunition from the ships. Some did unfortunately get past her, but the strong Iron Wood was able to handle the impacts in stride.
"Rockin…Bombardment…" With a wave of her hand, she forced the Spare metal from the Gun Deck to zip into place, creating makeshift cannons to increase the number of fire on to the fleet!
"We're up Raven!" Dezzi yelled as the Ember came close to a Galley, two corsairs on board, one was an old man, with a long brown and grey beard, while another wore a headband, and wore a double layered open vest and shirt
"Fig Ficus!" Raven Raised her hands into postion, hands growing from the Ember and connecting into a bridge onto the galley. She calmly walked over as Dezzi was already on board, a blur of blue sparks, pouncing from pirate to pirate. And quickly taking out the second Corsair.
"Mazus Choke." He Gripped her hand, hands appearing on the Shoulder of the man as she gave a slight smile, then dozens of other hand choked the other pirates, and in one quick moment they were clutched tight causing bones to break!
