CLANK

The pirate's sword clashed with Smokers Jitte as more commotion could be heard around them, their subordinates fighting their own battles.

Smoker pushed the pirate back, and knocked him out before stepping back to where Tashigi had just finished off her own opponent.

Tashigi sees the look Smoker is giving her, already understanding what it means.

She shook her head. "I've only found a couple of marines, but they said their Lieutenant was fighting Silver tooth the last time they saw her."

'Her?' Smoker raises a brow at this new information. "Where do you think they went?"

Tashigi looks around for a moment before hearing a boom and spotting movement in the distance.

"Over there!" She points at the Cave somewhat far ahead.

"Let's go!" Smoker starts running.

Meanwhile

"Y/n!" Lúcio, Junior grade at the time, spots his Lieutenant finally exiting the cave. He soon had to refocus his attention though, busy with a couple pirates himself.

BOOM

The deafening sound was followed by an explosion, blowing a Lieutenant back, then a pirate. She twisted and landed on the sand that skidded along her shin, and used an unfamiliar Bardiche to hold her in place.

She took a moment to admire its build, carefully wrapped in uniform with red leather along the metal which held up the blade.

The blade itself was beautiful and skillfully made with a material Y/n didn't know of, it's color being a mixture of silver but much darker as it glimmered in the sun.

Glancing over, she snickered at the rough, brunet  opponent who'd had a very graceful (klutzy) landing.

"Having trouble there, Splinter?" She stood triumphantly next to the newly acquired spear.

"It's Silver! Silver tooth!" He scoffed, on his back only for a moment before standing up and gaining balance.

The writer found it hard to believe Y/n forgot his name already, considering his mouth only held silver teeth.

He lunged at her, sword clashing with her new found weapon.

"Hand over the spear, Masked Empress!" Sliver tooth shouts.

"Get your own!" She pushes him back, causing him to stumble before she launches another attack with said Spear.

"You don't even know it's value!" He knits his brows. "That's a 1st grade Bardiche! One of the most durable spears in the world!"

He slashed at her, irk mark appearing on her forehead as she blocks the slash using the spear.

"It belonged to—!"

"I DON'T WANT YOUR HISTORY LESSON!"

She shoves the butt of the spear in his stomach, causing him to clutch it for a moment.
Y/n only stood there glancing at the contrasting mewls the tough looking pirate let out, her signature annoying smile plastered on her face.

"I'll kill you!" Copper tooth, the forgotten brother of Silver Tooth charged at the Masked Empress.

The (h/c) haired blocked his attack with her newfound spear, failing to notice her previous opponent drink something and get back up until it was too late.
