141 Thatch enraged (1/2)

A wave of pure energy shot through the trees around as my footsteps echoed out from the moist ground. A typhoon of emotion echoing from a point that I could not see. Marco groaned as he looked up, surprise and caution coloring his aloof eyes.

He felt it too, it was familiar. He knew what it was, heck his father was an adept at its use after all. It was Haki, Conqueror's Haki to be precise. He could feel the air headedness that surrounded the invocation of the ability strike him before disappearing quickly.

It was gone, where the Haki once was a baleful roar sounded out. The voice that roared out was parched and unintelligible. Raw emotion rang through the air as we cleared the last vestiges of trees that surrounded the tiny grove.

We saw it, an enraged man limping towards another, and in the flash of light that followed I could not help but shiver at the pure madness that was emitted from the figures face. Then I recognized the figure, it was Terrick.

”OH~?” The other figure called out, still not noticing our presence. A tattered yellow shirt on his chest as a deep wound bled into a cap that was tucked into his breast pocket. It was Vice Admiral Borsolino!

”You have the Haki of the king~? Then you're too dangerous to be left alive..” the man's face twisted as he grinned in a savage fashion. What once was a blemish-less face now had a tiny and almost invisible scar that bled copiously.

With a zap he appeared before Terrick's body ramming his hands into his chest, only for his hand to sink into an arm that flapped around haphazardly.

In Terrick's other hand he held a dagger that gleamed with a wicked glint. With a quick stab he aimed at the other man's neck, barely missing as Borsolino ducked.

”Go To Sleep!” Borsolino snarled as he shot forward aiming to stab Terrick in the chest with a gleaming sword the he had just conjured.

Fortunately, the time that Terrick had bought for himself was enough.

With a leap above Terrick's figure I brought my heel down, ramming with all the strength I was able to muster into Borsolino's forehead.

”GAH!” He yelped out as he fell back into the ground, instantly shifting his head away as I landed beside it.

I didn't care though. With a simple twist around I looked at my crewmate, and with a satisfied look I called out; ”You can rest now..”

Thatch groaned as he felt the assault of an unknown Haki on his mind, he almost keeled over as he felt the oppressive force. Instantly however, he righted himself. He was close he felt it.

The roar that followed the burst of Haki only made the Whitebeard more nervous.

He remembered still, the battles they had gotten into, against the Golden Lion, and even the erstwhile pirate king!
