29 Fights

Kuina: Sabo-kun.

Sabo: Yes i know, we are at a disadvantage here 2 vs 4. So i will call for reinforcements.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM

Suddenly, everyone heard a sound, as they did the previous giant face wasn't there anymore, instead it was replaced by a enormous man with golden gauntlets. Kuina recognized him as it was Mars.

Mars: Don't worry guys, let me take care of this one.

While Mars was speaking, he didn't turn his head around, keeping his gaze on Oars.

Kuina: "Mars. You are feeling the same as me, probably worse as you fought against him before Larch intervened, then you left him."

Sabo seeing Mars, laughed while turning towards Gecko.

Gecko: What are you laughing about, even with the 2 of you, you won't stand a chance as we are still 2 v 3.

Sabo: Is that true, have another look around you.

As he heard Sabo, without even turning around respond Sabo.

Gecko: I think i know who left us. Who would have thought that Perona would fall in love with you. Oh well, but still that guy outside will lose against Oars and i can deal with the both of you with ease.

When Gecko finished speaking, his doppelman rushed towards Kuina and Sabo, while it's arms transformed into swords. Clashing with Kuina sword and Sabo, now silver staff.

In the outside.

Mars was standing on the ground, in front of him stood Oars lying down, who slowly was trying to get up.

Mars: "This time i won't run away, i didn't even turn around to see if big brother was going to be fine. The scene where i found him holding Nojiko unconscious in his arms, i won't forget it forever the look of pain in his face. At that moment i could feel all his emotions. Helpless, sad, desperate and anger to strong that it terrified me."

At the same time Mars was thinking and reminiscing that peculiar moment, black fur was raising in his skin, reaping apart his clothes, while his body height and build grew bigger.

In the time he took to transform, Oars stood up, facing Mars, who was now a giant gorilla, that had black fur and red eyes, standing even taller and bigger than Oars at a 50 meters tall, while Oars stood at 38 meters.

Oars was stunned as he hadn't known anyone taller and bigger than him before. While Oars was distracted, Mars punched towards his direction, seeing this Oars came out of his stunned state, doing so he couldn't dodge the attack, so he brought his arms up to block the attack.

BOOM

The moment Mars punch touched Oars arms, Oars was sent flying towards the edge of the Thriller Bark. Destroying, in the process, everything where Oars passed through flying.

ROAR

A loud roar could be heard, as Mars roared indicating the start of the battle of the giants.

Inside of the tower.

As the trio heard the roar, Sabo face had a big smile, while looking towards Gecko.

Sabo: What were you saying, about Oars defeating our companion in a second?

Gecko: The battle still hasn't finished and you counting on his victory, besides even if he triumph over Oars, i can still deal with the three of you, after all the two of you are having a hard time dealing with my Doppelman.

Sabo: We will see. We will see.

In the forest, as the battle between Beth and Absalom escalated, in the field stood Beth covered in blood with her eyes closed that twitched when she heard the roar. Absalom, that was behind a tree using his devil fruit power to hide from Beth while he was recovering his breath, when he heard the roar of Mars.

Absalom: "From the looks of it, there must be others. But i can't help any of them. I can't even knock out this girl, i don't how many times i tried to do it, but she evades those attacks, while takes the other. I didn't want to do it to my future wife."

As he recovered his breath, moving from the tree, he saw that Beth was the same from the start of the battle, in the difference was that she was covered in blood. Beth was standing still with her eyes closed as if she was concentrating on her surroundings, making Absalom, each time he went to attack, sweating profoundly. Fearing that she might found where he was.

The moment he was about to strike, he felt pain surge in his right leg. Lowering his head to see the his right leg, he found a black dagger stuck in the thigh of his leg. Tracing it down the dagger was been hold by a slender hand that belonged to Beth, who was now looking directly at his eyes.

Beth: I got you. For first time you made a mistake.

During the time Beth was talking, Absalom tried to get away from there, but he found that he couldn't move at all, not even his eyes.

Beth: You should know that my min profession is Cook, but for my protection and for the my loves ones, the real main profession is the Assassin, so my expertise in using and/or dealing with poison is great. As for what you are inflicted with it's a paralyzing poison that won't let you move for about a day, counting that you are a devil fruit user making you more resistant to it. It will give me plenty time to kill you. Now as you are a possessor of a devil fruit, i am going to take it away, as Larch-kun would do it, if he was here. Say goodbye, it was a good fight, as you have made my observation Haki improve and gave me a Devil Fruit.
