Chapter 188 - The Power of The Marshal

Hornigold Grimaced as he realized, yet again, this troublesome nuisance had come back from the dead! "How the Fuck are you not dead!"

'Was it Ms. Violet? Did she not go through with it? I knew that bitch isn't one to trust…' Hornigolds golden fists clenched as he stared at that Cocky smirk on The opposing captain's Face. It was infuriating! 'How could a little shit like him keep getting back up! Who does he think he is to be opposing me!' he thought. The once kempt hair had a single strand fall in between his eyes, something that rustled the Ex-Marshal even more! 

"I'm a pretty tough guy!" He retorted, cockiness exuding from his words. "Don't be too hasty!" 

Rackham brought his hand up to his face, the golden hand transformed into a small crescent blade before flinging his arm in front of him horizontally! "Doro Mezzaluna!" 

The Golden Crescent quickly enlarged and became incredibly thin! Flying straight towards Leroy! The Captain's eyes shot wide as his muscles roared as he put all of his energy into his body to evade the attack that moved with a dizzying amount of speed! Reaching backward and allowing the blade to pass by him

The Mausoleum they currently stood on the roof of was enormous! A large open space that spanned dozens of meters! It was indeed a super-sized Mausoleum that took up an entire block, and was the size of multiple buildings! The Roof of which was dommed and just added to the intense height of over 50 meters!

There was a reason why this was one of the Keystones of the City. A long path lead to the front of the Building, there truthfully weren't many floors due to how many of the floors had incredibly high ceilings, it was still a staggeringly tall building… 

And yet that meant nothing to Hornigold Rackham! His blade of gold utterly sliced cleanly through the Dome! It launched a few inches up into the air before landing with a resounding quake and sliding to the side where it had originally sat! Cracks sprinkling around its sliced edge! The sound that it had caused was mighty! Dust shooting through the air! 

'That blade had already left his body! And he still had enough precision and control to make it turn out like that!' Leroy pondered as he shot back forward!

The sound of the Domes crash resounded through the City Square, causing one Aludabi Kiki to lose concentration in her fight as she knocked one of the Chyros agents out flat with her ball and rope, something that Aton had taught her. "The Captain of The Red Sash Pirates is Here!" All signs of Hornigold being in combat meant that yell of the Ex-Marshals name had to be the Captain! 

She Declared raising her fist into the Air, causing the Revolting Force to Roar! But The Princesses' lapse in concentration allowed for an agent to come up from behind and slice her down the back! Leaving a nasty gash! 

"Kiki!" Aton yelled, dashing to the attacker and shoving his Bronze Short Sword into the woman's neck! Before brutally twisting the twisting and pulling it out through her throat before rushing to the Side of his Majesty "I'm Fine!" Kiki said 

"Good, but you can't lose focus, we need to keep going!" He said, helping the Purple Hair woman to her feet.

As Leroy Lurched back forward, he shot his fist out "Shot!" The Fist shot past Hornigold who merely side stepped and plunged a spiked hand into his Forearm! Causing Leroy to wince in pain! But he'd purposefully missed! Leroy Grabbed the Edge of the Mausoleum and pulled himself forward!

Skidding across the Sand stone beneath him before stopping short in front of Hornigold! He threw Punch after Punch at Hornigold! Slinging his Leg through the Air, all it did was Cause Hornigold to give a snarky smile "C'mon! You slowin' down finally!" He said as he shifted and dodged out of the way. He was barely having to use his Fruit Power! 

The Volley of punches started slow, like rubber bands his arms waved and whipped through the air due to their rubbery nature, but as they sped up, his arms straightened, stiffened, tightened! Going from Fluid and Liquid, to Solid and Hard! Becoming the sturdy punches that Hornigold was used to from before! But more than that! It was an astounding barrage of strength with such speed that it was putting Hornigold on the Ropes "Volley!" 

Hornigold had to stay focused as he Turned Key parts of his body into gold, conserving even the slightest minute bits of stamina, The Punches all passed through him, when suddenly! BAM! 

A harsh impact slammed into the back of his head! Leroy's Fists Snapped back into place, a cheeky and devious grin coming across his as Hornigold Lurched his head forwards and stumbled backwards, strands of hair falling into his face more and more.

'He hit…Hit me?! How!? I watched all of his punches…They were fast, but I could keep up with them! Not one came close to my head!'

Horngolds head whipped around as he looked around to where the Hit could have come from. He saw nothing but cracks against the walls and the large open area of the mausoleum. 'How the hell did he do that?! Nothing should be able to touch me.' The scowl across his brow began to deepen. 'This can't be happening!' He thought in frustration "How the hell did you do that!" 

He Screamed, Leroy gave a Grin and said "Pay attention real close!"
