Chapter 61 - Returning to base, Garp's new students and Hancock's wrath.

Marineford, Marine Headquarters

[Admiral Haiuma's barracks]

"This is insane." Koby grumbles.

The pink-haired, spectacles wearing chore boy is hunched over the recently groomed backyard of Admiral Haiuma... he hasn't stepped foot in his barracks for the last two months.

"That old man makes us slave away on a ghost-man's barracks. " Helmeppo complains as he tends to the stubborn garden.

Koby's sore hands continue raking the pile of dead roots. "Garp-sama told us to see Admiral Haiuma as our elder brother. " He reminds his fellow student.

"Of course. So like any younger sibling we have to do his bidding..." The blonde haired chore boy mumbles out.

"Don't be–"

"Oi! Brats!" Garp's loud voice echoes across the backyard.

The Marine hero approaches the now timid boys with a big smug grin on his scarred face.

"You lads can take a break." He relieved them of their duty.

"FINALLY!" Helmeppo immediately drops back-first onto the cut grass.

"Sigh–" Koby's arms rejoice to the end of the hard labour.

Garp's grin didn't falter at their behaviour.

"You brats think this is hard? " His eyes glow with excitement.

"Wahaha!" He burst into a fit of laughter.

Koby and Helmeppo looked at each other with clear concern about their fate.

"It's time to meet your older brother, Boys."

BOOOOM

The Earth trembles under a colossal shock wave. This region of the Marine base is prohibited from ranks below Vice-Admiral due to "safety" reasons.

SLASH

A giant purple projectile slash spilts a hilltop in half.

Rumble

Slash

"This is unnecessary." Hina shakes her head at the ongoing chaos.

"This is indeed quite necessary. " Smoker(Sonya) counters.

The Vice-Admiral raises her jitte over her head, tracking the fight with her seastone weapon.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm very much furious at him but this is just excessive force." She gestures to the the ongoing battle.

Bang

Another shock wave violently vibrates across the land. The ones responsible for the violent force is Vice-Admiral Doll and Admiral Ramos.

"You're cheating. " The dog collar wearing Marine barks out.

Her haki coated fist presses against Ramos's matching coloured forearm. The two are at a stalemate.

Rumble...

"Shxt!"

Crackle

A cerulean lightning bolt strikes at her from a small grey cloud.

Whoosh

Doll dodges the attack by using a mixture of Kami-e( Body flexibility), Geppo(Moon walk) and Soru( Shave) to damn near make her body intangible.

"What!?" Ramos blurts out at the casual use of three Rokushiki techniques.

"That's Kamisori(Razor) " Doll announces the technique from behind Ramos.

"It makes fighting Logia's easier. " She grins, swinging her hand back to create momentum.

"Ranjun( Tempest pistol)" Doll thrusts her high pressured fist at him with armament coating.

Ramos quickly turned around.

BOOM

"Ughhh –" Ramos spits out blood at the heated attack connecting to his chest.

Ramos goes flying right through a boulder.

"Whaaa–" Koby's eyes nearly bulge out of his eyes.

Helmeppo is speechless at the turn of events.

Garp chuckles softly. "Watch closely. "

"Ouch." Ramos grimaced.

Lifting himself out of the human shaped hole, he wipes the debris off his coat that is still draped over him.

"Tsk." Doll grits her teeth at his lack of injuries.

"How?"

"A lot of beatings make you stronger. " He rolls his eyes.

"Fox hunt." Gion whispers.

"Huh?" Ramos hesitates, the hairs on his nape spike up.

"Crimson festival. " Tashigi's blade darkens to match Marie écarlate's bloodlust.

WHOOOSSHH

Gion and Tashigi attack simultaneously, the two swordswomen initiate a duel of steel.

Ramos turns his body into a grey cloud-human, the temperature around him reaching freezing states.

"Hail blossom." He shoots out shards of hail around him.

Gion slices the hail with ease, her movements are fluid as she reaches Ramos.

Tashigi's dance was more aggressive, chopping at the ice with zero class, her blade, Obake perfectly mimics Marie's cursed nature.

Slash

Gion swings her blade at the curve of his neck.

Ramos tilts his head centimetres away from her steel, the edge scrapes his flesh.

Slash

Tashigi goes for his right shoulder, planning to limit his mobility.

Crackle

A lightning bolts intercepted her strike, protecting Ramos from a critical blow.

Tashigi glares up at the sky. "Damn you."

Ramos's cheeky grey cloud hovers over its master, keeping watch of his blindside after the Doll attack.

"Nice work RJ." Ramos praises his little cloud.

"You named it?" Tashigi scowls.

"It's not a it. His name is RJ!" Ramos barks out at the blatant disrespect to his creation.

"You're weird."

"You wouldn't get it!" He spat out.

"Enough of this!" Gion yells.

Channeling her swords violet energy, she manifest a giant spider over herself.

"Our turn. " Sonya calls out.

Her smoke limbs coil around Ramos.

"You know I'm a logia too?" Ramos smirks at her arrogant move.

Sonya only nods at his words, "Of course Honey." She purrs.

Ramos tried to make his body intangible by morphing into a cluster of clouds but he felt a sticky substance keeping his body solid.

"Huh!?" He struggles to turn as a black residue is sticking onto his body.

"Tobacco smoke makes a black residue called tar, Honey~" Sonya lifts her Jitte.

"Sonya–"

"Bind." Hina places her hands on the ground. Rods made of casting iron bind him to the ground.

The density of the iron sinks him ankle deep into the earth.

"Now!" Sonya charges, with her jitte.

"Rocky's rumble." Doll flashes from view.

"Twin tigers prowl." Tashigi breaths out.

"Black Widows kiss. " Gion pounces too.

Hina kept her bindings strong by adding more layers of iron around him.

"It's over."

The blurs of the women came at him like a swarm of angry bees, no place for him to run or no inch of room to create a counter measure. He was at their mercy.

"RJ. It's time." Ramos's pupils turn blue.

Rumble

His baby ash cloud leaps higher to his fellow sky dwellers, consuming the clouds around him to grow bigger, he bloats up to generate more lightning.

"Girls–Run!" Hina screams out.

Crackle

A shower of lightning strikes down on the surface, scorching any organism in the way of its rage.

"RAMOS!" Garp's curses at his students reckless behaviour. Hauling up Koby and Helmeppo, the Vice-Admiral moon walks out of the area.

---

As the smoke clears, all that's left is burned rocks and craters.

Ramos breaths in slowly to regulate his breathing. Sweat drips down his forehead as his eyes look at the female marines.

"That was close." He chuckles.

"You bastard." Hina clenches her jaw, her body is still unblemished, but around her is Lichtenberg figures imprinted on the ground.

"Did you really think I'd hurt you lot?" He shakes his head, trying to hide a smirk.

Gion, Tashigi, Sonya and Doll stood frozen in their spots, dark Lichtenberg figures rooted around them like warning marks. None of them were injured in the dance of volts.

Tashigi marvels at his control over his fruit.

"How?" Tashigi blurts out.

"I had to train with a mad swordswoman in my off time at Mary Geoise...not a pleasant experience. " He winces at the memory.

"You kept spamming lightning, you prick." Sonya pouts, walking over to him, she punches his shoulder.

Doll huffs, fighting back her impressed expression. "Logia's are a hassle to fight."

Gion sheathes her blade, her eyes firmly on him.

"You might have earned your position, Ramos." She teases.

"It's Haiuma. " He corrected her.

"We're not using that codename. You'll always be Ramos to us, even if you were Fleet Admiral. " Sonya jabs a finger against his chest.

"This is ridiculous..."

"Get used to it." Doll shoves his back, saunters over to Hina with emphasises on. Her hip movement and hourglass figure peeking from her black tank top.

"Keep your eyes on me Ramos." Tashigi waves her hands in front of his perverted gaze.

"Hina is appalled at the actions of all of you." The cheery blossom haired Marine flares her nostrils, a blush visible on her pale cheeks.

Ramos loops his arm around Tashigi, pulling the shorter woman closer to him.

"You good, Hina?" He smiles like a smug bastard.

"Let go..." Tashigi whispers as her pouty face is pressed against his chest.

A shameless display from Garp's protégé. A man no different from his master, who once brawled with the sea's strongest pirates for Shakky's favour.

Before anymore shameless flirting could take place, a chorus of screams invaded their ears.

"Aaaahhhh!"

Tashigi went rigged as she felt moisture around her body.

"Hey!" Tashigi yelps as she is suddenly levitating off the ground.

"What the!?"

"Let go of me!"

"Ramos!"

The collective complaints off the girls muffled down as Ramos turns his body into clouds to lift the girls.

"Hold on." He warned before floating off towards the screams.

[Marine Headquarters]

The Blues capital of defence was under attack by a force that most men could never resist, Beauty. In this instance, the beauty of the Empress of Amazon Lily has left a platoon of Marines in a cluster of statues. All with hearts in their eyes like love-sick dogs.

"Do not look down on me you vermin. "Boa Hancock spat out her venomous words.

The gorgeous midnight-hair, pale-skinned with soft pink blush, ocean blue eyes and adorned in Kuja royal attire.

Empress Boa Hancock. A member of the seven Warlords of the sea.

"Turn them back, now." Akainu orders.

The Navy Admiral is immune to her devil fruits abilities.

"Make me." Boa challenges, coating her legs with haki she readies herself for a clash with the marine.

"Akainu, don't kill her." Kizaru half-heartedly suggested.

Sitting comfortable on the balcony of the official meeting room of the Warlords, he looks at the spectacle only capable from pirates.

"She's really mad, hey." He muses, pointing a finger at her back.

"This is your last warning, surrender. " Akainu's body glows red as he morphs half of his body to magma.

"I fear no man–"

Drip

A droplet of water landed on the bridge of her nose. Looking up at the sky, she sees the once blue skies have turned ash grey.

"Rain?" Boa mutters.

In an instance, rain hammers down on them, nature realising its emotions upon them.

"Tsk." Akainu growls as the rain cools down his magma, forcing crust to harden faster.

"Ramos." Akainu glares up at the spot where Kizaru is sitting.

"Haiuma ~"

"Kizaru. " Ramos greets his fellow Admiral, standing on the balcony, Ramos smirks down at Akainu.

"You're burning up, Akainu. I had to cool you down. "

"You fool! You're realising hot fumes into the atmosphere!" Sonya berates him.

"Sorry." Ramos scratches his cheek in embarrassment.

"You Marines are useless!" Boa curses.

"What's her problem?" Doll scowls at the pirate's disrespect.

"Do not overstep Pirate." Akainu reprimanded her." Your privileges can be rebuked in a blink of an eye, your just a pawn that can be replaced.

"A pawn you say?" Boa snorts at his insult.

"You think so highly of yourselves for men who serve inbred slave owners. "

"Watch your mouth!" Akainu barks out, igniting more magma on his body.

Rumble

"Let's not be rash. " Ramos released a grumble of thunder.

Looking at the Warlord, he clears his throat.

"Empress. Can you explain why you are attacking our base?"

Boa glanced back at him, clear disgust in her eyes.

"You."

"Me?"

"Yes, you. You're a competent man, help me save my sisters." Boa Hancock slightly bows her head, fighting back her pride she seeks his assistance.

"This is a rare sight. " Sonya teases.

"Pfft–it's always a women Huh?" Gion shakes her head.

Ramos ignores their comments.

"Who took your sisters?"

Boa clenches her jaw, anger flaring in her eyes.

"Ares took my sisters."
