Chapter 22 - Skirmish With The Roger Pirates

(Third Person POV)

"You'd do well to back the fuck off, Roger Pirates." Mikael said as he towered over the group, "Otherwise, I'd burn you to a crisp." 

Gaban spun his axes, "Is that so?" He said with a scowl, "You really think so?" 

Rayleigh readied his blade, "Hm...." 

Mikael swung his left forelimb at them, aiming to swipe at them but Gaban jumped up and blocked the attack with his axes. The shockwave erupting from the clash shook the air and Gaban simply launched himself back down. 

"Damn, that rattled my body." He said as Mikael reared back

"Someone check on Roger!" Rayleigh rushed at Mikael, "I'll handle this one." 

He jumped up and swung his sword, hitting Mikael with a powerful slash that caused oil and tar to fly out everywhere. Mikael's body jerked back but he wasn't damaged that much, his eyes glaring at Rayleigh as he raised his right wing-arm to try and grab him. 

"Using Armament Haki to coat your body, huh?" He said, "How much would you waste on this massive body?" 

Rayleigh avoided the wingarm and jumped off of it in response, crossing his arms as he charged up haki in his blade. 

Mikael realized what was about to happen, "Oh shit." 

"Higanbana!!" 

Rayleigh swung his sword outwards, releasing a powerful haki-imbued slash that hit Mikael right on the neck. The attack caused a powerful shockwave that recoiled his body down, nearly toppling him. Rayleigh landed on the ground, avoiding some of the oil and tar that landed on the ground next to him. 

Mikael let out a deep growl, shaking his head as he had looked at Rayleigh. There was a bit of blood mixing through the oil and tar seeping out of his body, but the wound didn't seem to be that deep. 

"What?" Rayleigh said, "I meant to cut him deeply...." 

"Heavy Oil Armor" 

Mikael's entire body was covered by a massive layer of scorching tar, some of it dripping down and burning the sand, turning it into glass. He slammed his wings arms down, causing some of the tar to splash everywhere. 

"That hurt, Silvers Rayleigh....!!!" He managed, "I'm going to beat your ass to a fucking pulp!" 

"Hey, would you look at that." Gaban said as the other Pirates were watching with amazement, "You're famous, he knows your name." 

Suddenly, a figure ran past them. They saw as Roger was running at Mikael with a menacing laugh. 

"Wahahaha!" He said as he jumped up and reared his sword back, "Isn't this fun!" 

"Kamusari!!!" 

He swung his sword, hitting Mikael in the chest with a vicious slice imbued with Conqueror's Haki. The attack was enough to reel Mikael back as oil and tar sprayed out everywhere. 

"Captain!" Spencer shouted as they avoided the tar, "You're spreading the oil everywhere." 

Roger landed on the ground and rushed Mikael again, "This guy is pretty strong." He said, "But not enough for me, wahahaha!" 

He jumped up and slashed at Mikael's neck, trying to cut him up good but the Heavy Oil Armor was enough to cushion the blow. Mikael responded by slamming the side of his head against Roger, sending him flying back. 

"You guarded against my Tarred Claws, huh? Your Armament Haki is strong." Mikael said as he slammed his wingarms again, "Damn you, Roger!!!" 

"Heavy Oil Waves!" 

Mikael swung his wingarms forward, firing off two waves of burning tar that were aimed at the Roger Pirates. The waves were split apart by Gaban and Rayleigh as they rushed forward and past Roger who was smirking in excitement. 

"Dammit all...." Mikael said as the two pirates rushed at him, attacking him simultaneously 

In an instant, Mikael's dragon form was immediately undone; the damage suffered by the three pirates' attacks was too much for him to handle. He was seen falling back as burning oil and tar fell down to the ground. 

"Get him!" Rayeleigh called out 

Gaban rushed at him, crossing his arms as he held his axes, covering them in armament haki, "Got it!" 

Gaban swung his arms outwards and clashed with Shiki, who had met him midways. The impact of the attack caused a powerful shockwave. 

"Dammit." Gaban scowled

"Now that the idiot has been defeated, my turn now!" Shiki smirked, "You roaches didn't think we'd sit by and let you get all the fun!" 

Shiki pushed him away and watched as Mikael fell to the ground, covered in some cuts. He stayed floating in the air as he had his swords drawn, smirking as the Roger Pirates were composing themselves. 

"Ah, it's Shiki." Roger said as he leaned his sword on his shoulder, "I heard he was recruited by Rocks." 

Rayleigh looked over to Mikael, who was surrounded by the burning tar, "That guy's dragon form didn't last long." He said, "It was rather powerful, I must admit. He took my Higanbana with ease." 

"Yea, you got that right." Roger said with an excited smile, "What kind of guy did you get on your crew, Rocks!" 

Rocks smirked, "One that isn't so easy to take down!" 

Mikael had gotten up and rubbed his neck, wincing as he felt the sting of his open wounds, "Shit...." He said, "This fucking guy...." 

"Ah, so he can still fight!" Roger rushed right at him, "Good!!" 

As Roger reached him, Mikael turned around and swung his right fist at him, clashing with his sword as an explosion of heat erupted. Roger felt the scorching shockwave hit his entire body as he reeled back. 

"Superheat!" 

"Whoa, what kind of tricks you got up your sleeve?" Roger said as he shook his left hand, "That's hot...!" 

Mikael rushed him, throwing several superheated punches imbued with armament haki, trying to hit Roger but the Pirate was casually blocking his attacks as he stepped back. 

"Tch..." Mikael said

"Alright." Roger parried his blows, "Time to put you down." 

Roger swung his sword at his midsection, aiming to cut at him but Mikael had coated it in armament haki, blocking the impact. 

"Huh?" Roger said, "I swore you had run out of haki, you used too much already!" 

"Think again." Mikael swung his right fist in an uppercut, striking his chin

Roger jerked back and stumbled, blood coming out of his mouth, "Arrghh!" He said, "That's stupid hot!!" 

Mikael then swung his left fist in a vicious straight, hitting him right in the stomach, causing an explosion of heat that sent the Pirate flying back. Roger hit the ground, causing sand to fly everywhere as it turned into glass shards. 

Mikael was panting as Rayleigh stared him down, "That's what you get!!" He said, "Fucking assholes." 

"Roger, stop messing around." Rayleigh said as he stepped forth, "I'll handle him. You deal with Rocks." 

Roger got up and patted sand out of his straw hat, "Nah, let me have him!" He said, "Fucking guy is resilient!" 

Mikael wiped some blood from his cheek, "I may be weaker than these monsters behind me..." he said as he raised his arms up, "But I can throw down with you bastards any day of the week!! Come at me, you fuckers! I'll show you what it's like to brawl with a monster." 

"I can do this all day!!"
