(Third Person POV)
Jag proceeded to charge towards more marines, barreling through them with ease, sending them flying away. He had his mouth open as the disturbing sight of legs sticking out from the entrance of his throat was visible.
"Shit!" Smoker said as he rushed past Samuel and made his way towards Jag, "That bastard!!"
Samuel shuddered, "Damn, are they alive?" He said with a frown, "That's not something I want to experience..."
Smoker reached Jag and thrust his Jitte at the side of his head, hitting him hard. The blow caused Jag to stagger to the side as he let out a grunt.
"Guuhh!!!" He shouted, "Y-You stupid fuck!!"
He swung his tail viciously at Smoker only for it to go through his smoke body, most of it dispersing and slowly reforming.
"Hm...." Smoker said as he jumped up into the air, "No haki...."
Smoker then swung his Jitte down and struck Jag on the top of the head, slamming it down to the ground.
"Ghhh!!" Jag grunted
"Hey, Smoker, give him a good blow to the bloated stomach!!" Rhea said, "Maybe he'll throw your men up!!"
"Some of your men are also in there!" Smoker replied
"Well, shit, hit him then!!" Rhea scowled
Jag straightened up, "I'll fucking kill you!!" He bellowed as he tried to bite at Smoker
Smoker stepped back and reared his jitte back, aiming for his bloated stomach, "Is that so?"
In a swift motion, Smoker thrust the weapon right into Jag's stomach. The impact was hard enough to cause Jag to reel back.
"B-Blerghhh!!!" Jag bellowed as he threw up a bunch of the swallowed marines
They all hit the ground, covered in what seemed like stomach acid.
"Aghh!!" one of them writhed in pain
Smoker scowled, "Shit..." He said, "Are you men alright?"
They tried to get up, "Y-Yes...." He said, "What the hell was that....?"
Jag composed himself, "Aghh....." He said, "You fucking asshole....you'll pay for that...."
He slammed one of his legs down and caused a shockwave as he lowered his head down, glaring right at smoker.
"Hm....." Samuel said, "That's strange....he would have been down by now. I am sure that cigar-bitch hit him with the same amount of power I did when I defeated him...."
"Pay attention." Rhea was behind him
Samuel ducked her kick and then countered with one of his own, hitting her arm, which she had raised to block his attack. The impact had caused a slight shockwave, causing the other marines to stare in awe.
"Nice reflexes." Samuel said with a serious expression
"That's my line." Rhea said, "You really are a formidable fighter. Want to keep dancing?"
"Tch...." Samuel said as he jumped away, "Have no choice, do it?"
Back to Jag and Smoker, the massive yellow beast was about to charge towards smoker when he noticed something on the ground.
"W-What is that?" He said as he looked at it
In front of him, between himself and Smoker, there was a small pool of what looked like oil. This caught the attention of Smoker who looked at it as well, wondering what it was. It looked like oil, which was easily told apart from the water and mud in the ground.
"Whoa!" Pinpunk said as he slid towards Jag, hitting against him
"Hey!!!" Jag bellowed as the Rear-Admiral composed himself, "You fucking-"
Pinpunk paid no mind to him, simply elbowed him hard in the side, sending him reeling away. The blow was hard enough to knock the wind out of the beast.
"Pinkpunk." Smoker said, "What is going on-"
"Men, brace yourself!!!!" Pinpunk suddenly shouted, "He's about to attack!!!!"
Everyone looked over to where Ryoma was, The swordsman was in an Iai stance, and a strange substance was on the ground around him, glowing slightly.
Rhea and Samuel saw this, "What?" Rhea said as she noticed a small pool of oil on the ground next to them, "Wait...."
Samuel widened his eyes, "That fucking guy!" He said as he dropped to the ground
"True Flaming-Fox Style: "
Suddenly, the oil substance around Ryoma began to flicker a violet flame as the hand that was on the handle was engulfed in the very same flame. Ryoma's eye then glowed briefly, a flaming light flickering for a split second which signaled the incoming danger.
"Dance of The Flickering Violet Flame"
Suddenly, within the next two seconds, the entire area around Ryoma was hit by several bursts of flames, striking all around the ground in an omnidirectional attack that hit everything indiscriminately. The flames cut through both stone and wood, setting the trees around the area ablaze. Every marine was hit and cut up, their wounds catching fire and cauterizing immediately.
Both Jag and Pinkpunk were also cut by the attack, the massive yellow beast was an enormous target, getting hit with three slashes that opened up massive wounds over his body. Pinkpunk was able to avoid the full brunt of the attack and only got a cut on his shoulder that immediately cauterized itself.
Smoker and Rhea were the only ones of Marines who were able to avoid the attack in its entirety; Rhea using her ability to create a shield of chains that took the attack, immediately snapping and catching flames and Smoker dispersed himself into smoke, immediately getting behind Jag who was the larger target.
Samuel was unfazed by the attack, probably because Ryoma did not target him. He simply got back up and looked at the result of the powerful attack, nothing but flames on the ground where slices and fissures laid.
"This guy is no joke." Samuel thought to himself, "He's unbelievably strong....!! He has a Devil Fruit, for sure.....and it is definitely one of them...."
Ryoma straightened up from his stance, his hand covered in a steaming oil as his eye began to glow violet.
Pinpunk looked at him with a serious scowl, "So...." He said, "It is true.....you bear one of them, right? A Legendary Beast Devil Fruit...."
Smoker walked up next to Pinkpunk, "You're serious?" He said, "He has one too?"
"Yes." Pinkpunk said seriously, "Stand back, Smoker. I am about to transform."
Pinkpunk grabbed his overcoat and threw it to the side, it conveniently landed on a fallen Marine who was clutching his waist. Pinkpunk then undid his tie and took a step forward, his body slowly shifting as his facial structure began to distort.
"G-Gghhh!!!!" Jag bellowed as he suddenly got up and slammed his head down at Pinpunk, jerking him forwards hard, "You fucker!!!"
Pinpunk hit the ground hard, "Shit!" He shouted, "This one is still conscious?!"
Smoker scowled, "Sorry, Pinkpunk!!" He said as he swung his jitte at Jag, hitting him in the chin, "I'll handle him!!"
Pinkpunk then got up and his suit began to rip apart as his body got significantly larger, his appearance drastically changing to that of an ape-like creature. His body was that of a giant pink gorilla and his head was similar to a Hippo's. His hands were the most eye-catching, as he had very long and sharp claws.
He slammed his arms down on the ground, causing a shockwave, "Here I go, criminal scum!!!"
Ryoma raised his eyebrow, "And what are you supposed to be?" He asked, "Is your devil fruit in the same category as mine?"
"What do you think, maggot?!" Pinkpunk lunged forward at Ryoma, swinging his claws at him
Ryoma drew his sword and blocked the attack, his blade clashing against Pinpunk's claws.
"Hm...." Ryoma said, "You're quite large....and humorous-looking...."
"Don't underestimate me, punk!" Pinkpunk growled, "My Devil Fruit is classified as 'Pink Ape'!!! I will skewer you!!"
He thrust his free claws, coated in armament, at Ryoma. Ryoma then stepped to the side and in a surprising display of movement, suddenly slid out of the way and avoided the attack completely. Not only that, Pinpunk felt as Ryoma's blade slipped out of his claws with ease, almost no resistance whatsoever.
"What the..." Pinkpunk said
"Bubbly Display"
Pinkpunk turned to the side to see that Ryoma was standing a few feet away, his hand waving and suddenly, several violet bubbles appeared in the air and began to spread throughout the area.
"W-What?" He said, "Your Zoan has paramecia-type abilities?!"
"Hm...." Ryoma said, "Yours does not? Shame..."
There was a bubble that was near Ryoma, and he stabbed it with his blade. The moment it pierced it, the bubble ignited into violet flames and it burst, coating the blade with an oil that was ignited into violet flames.
Then, Ryoma swung his sword at Pinkpunk, sending a large flaming slice that the Rear-Admiral blocked with his Armament-Coated Claws.
"Tch...!!" Pinkpunk said, "This guy....."
"I've coated the area with my oil...." Ryoma said as his body began to glow, "There is no escape. This here is now the stage for my flame's dance."
Pinkpunk dispersed the flaming slice and noticed that Ryoma's entire body was covered in the oil-like substance that was flickering with low flames.
"Hm...." He said as he narrowed his eyes, "This will be much more difficult than I hoped for. You will resist, will you?"
"I'll give you a guess." Ryoma said
"Very well!!" Pinkpunk said, "I'll take you on, maggot!!"
"Come at me!!!"
