26 Stealing a ship!

A loud boom echoed through the marine base as I marched into it, the dull tap of my shoes against the floor sheared through the now silent room. Lights glowed sharply as I heard the breaths of hundreds of marines.

The surprised men gaped at me in dumb amazement as I made myself visible before promptly pulling out their weapons and sneering at me in derision. "Oi! look at this bastard thinkin' he's some hot stuff ai? Think you're a pirate brat? " the man in the lead said as the men behind him guffawed. His eyes slowly regarded the both of us, (Fawkes and me; Fawkes currently had his hand on his forehead and was sighing with disappointment..) before finally coming to a rest on the form of the chubby Sorren and softening slightly.

He chuckled deeply as he said, "Pay us back for the door, and we'll consider this never to have happened deal?" his eyes never leaving the clueless fatty's face as he slowly re-sheathed his blade and went back to his table and begun drinking from his previously abandoned tankard of sake. "And you, bastard, is this the kind of example you want to set for your son?" he said barking at me. (I want you to note that I had now began to feel sorry for the marines in front of me and was considering just ending the matter here, however…)

"Boss, how can we the marine, just let our name be dragged through the mud by dumb brats like this?" A heavy weight man in the back drawled, his sadistic eyes never leaving our face, even going as far as to lick his lips in an attempt to satiate the bloodlust he was probably feeling.

'The verdict has been passed!!' I thought as I began to move, my previously burdened feeling had been washed away to be replaced by the adrenaline that had convinced me to consider hi-jacking a marine base.

A maniac grin formed on my face as I looked at the nice marine captain, all the while ordering my fruit to target all the men who still had their weapons drawn or radiated a hostile intent like the creepy bastard from the back.

"Get ready, Fawkes, Sorren go loot the treasury, I'll handle things here.." I said as I radiated a little bit of Haki at the unmarked men while advancing at those with hostile intent. Fawkes nodded simply as he tugged along the fatty before going deeper into the base, all the while avoiding those who tried to obstruct them.

"Haah? You want to die, ya bast-" the offending man roared angrily, to be prematurely cut short by a dagger that had made its way into his neck. A cold smile formed on my face as a chuckle shook my body, bringing those infront of me shivers of fright.

'The hunt had begun!'

*************************************************************************************

The entire day had been filled with annoyances for Fawkes and he did not appreciate his captain's attempts to mystify the whole matter, even saddling the childlike Sorren into his safe keeping as he thoroughly enjoyed himself in the battle that occurred above. Though, he had to admit, it was quite a beautiful move to steel ships from the marine!

"Hey, hey Fawkes what should I do?" Sorren asked innocently as he walked beside Fawkes. "While I look through the treasury, you stay on lookout" Fawkes replied as he moved his hands in a shooing gesture, "Beat up anyone who comes along, and stall for time against those who are stronger, no enemy as strong as Doflamingo exists here, so let loose all the frustration from that fight!" Fawkes continued with a chuckle before suddenly remembering a glaring problem.

"You know what, I think that idiot captain is going to go cause a scene, so go draw some attention away from him, leave lookout here to me. We can't have him getting mobbed now, can we?" he said looking back at Sorren while correcting his previous statement. He kicked down the door to the treasury, wincing slightly as he did, the mounds of coins streaming light into his eyes.

A low whistle echoed through the empty halls as Fawkes went around to his looting activities, 'We are going to be rich!' he thought chuckling slightly to himself.

Sorren stared dumbstruck at the treasury an audible gulp sounding out as he looked. With a herculean effort he tore himself away from the heaps of coins before running up the opposite stairs, he had to create a loud distraction!

************************************************************************************

As I stabbed at another straggler I chuckled helplessly. These people came in droves now, running down the stairs from god knows where, before shooting at me with their useless guns.

"Guns don't work on me dumbasses!" I drawled irritated as I blocked the oncoming volley of projectiles with a coated arm all the while shunpo-ing around killing or incapacitating all the people on whom I felt even a sliver of bloodlust.

"Mo-monster!!" the men roared as desperate tears mixed with the rivers of sweat that came from their forehead. "Why is a man like you here, instead of the grand line?" they asked sorrowfully as they stared on in horror as I eliminated their first defensive line.

Loud blasts suddenly shook the building making me lose my footing, the men in front of me looked at each other fear in their eyes as deep panting breaths shook their terrified bodies as their eyes looked around in horror.

A small stream of blood flowed silently through their legs, making the slippery ground even worse, many men cried in despair as some finally succumbed to the fear of losing their lives, laying down their weapons they kneeled on the ground.

They had lost.

A loud roar shook the building and spread as far as the island as the previous stifling atmosphere cleared to be replaced with a halo of hope.

"Which bastard dares to invade the marine base!!?" A powerful roar echoed.

'Haha the floor boss kita!!!'
