Flames had already engulfed the town by the time the three ahead of Kouhei had decided to rush in. Flames that would eventually burn each and every house, building and even the clock. Even though this giant fire raged throughout the town, these fishmen still wanted this battle. They wanted to fight surrounded by pure chaos, knowing well that they might not make it out alive. This was to show the Yonko just how dedicated they were, and how brutal they could be. Kouhei estimated the marines had a good 15 minutes before the fires would engulf the entire town, creating smoke so thick they'd barely be able to see, let alone breath. But this didn't mean they'd just be doomed, even surrounded by burning buildings they would be able to get the oxygen needed to survive, but they'd all be lightheaded, which might actually give them an advantage over fishmen, who weren't used to smoke. Air was like a second language, so any lack of it would instantly be a bit more debilitating to them, compared to humans.
"One, two, three..." Kouhei says to himself, counting the targets ahead. His three allies ahead were handling their own business, but the young redheaded gunner decided to not just rush in and slaughter whatever. He dipped back another 5 meters from the group and scanned the area. He was basically at the opening of the town, with his three allies and a couple marines 7 meters ahead of him fighting inside. The fodder fishmen and marines were really duking it out, basically trading life for life. John C. Ena, a very muscular marine Captain had decided to join the fray, body slamming fodder fishmen approaching Kouhei. About three fishmen decided to attack the Captain, charging right at him. 6 shots rang from Kouhei's pistol, two bullets hit each of their brains and hearts. Another two shots were fired at a pufferfish the freaky looking grasshopper dude landed into. While the pufferfish died, his spikes already hit the boy, but luckily, the fishman wasn't very poisonous. Of course the boy would find himself nauseous, and very dizzy.
"Shit." Kouhei says, noticing that the dude was basically flailing his sword around. He must have been a new recruit, not really trained. Kou had to quickly reload his gun in order to protect the kid. This was made a little bit harder as two fodder fishmen came with swords at the man as he reloaded. Before either can strike they'd find themselves both kicked on the side of their faces with extreme force. Kouhei does this in one strike, using the same momentum from his right legged kick to first hit the charging fool on the left and carries it to the fool on the right. Both are laid out, in la la land counting sheep. Once he's done reloading he fires another six shots at the three fishmen by Anton. They're all hit in the chest and brain, dying instantly. With his final two bullets in the chamber, Kouhei hits two fodder fishmen trying to escape the town and hit him. Again he reloads his gun and decides to walk 3 meters ahead, with the town now 2 meters in front of him.
"Where are the bosses at?" Kouhei asks, looking for some type of leader. He quickly finds one, as a hammerhead sharkman and three grunts begin approaching the group. John, and Kouhei nod heads towards each other, realizes he must be taken out quick. Again, with rapid and decisive precision, Kouhei fires bullets at his enemies. He aims at the grunts and the boss, but the boss jumps out of the way, right into a left hook from the Captain, while his grunts take all of the damage from the 8 bullets fired. Kouhei reloads again, but this time switches to his Boomstix. After the heavy blow from John, he follows up by tossing the fishman about 5 meters in front of Kouhei, and tries to close the distance between the two. Kouhei fires 1 shot from his shotgun, which the fishman again dodges, yet catches 5 pellets in his right arm. Captain John has now closed the distance, and attempts another punch, yet misses, with the hammerhead ducked and hitting the marine with an uppercut. The two wrestle while the redheaded marine tries to get a clear shot with his Boomstix on the fish. They continue this, rolling three meters ahead of the gunner. Kouhei gets annoyed and decides to end this.
With a rapid movement, the redheaded man almost instantly appears 2 feet to the left of the now standing fishman and kicks him square in the face with his left leg. With his body in the air, he then kicks with his right foot again into the fishman's face. This knocks the hammerhead backwards, but he's still standing. Before the fishman can react, Captain John grabs the menace from behind and delivers a suplex, tossing him back about 5 feet. Kou catches his breath and fires another shotgun round at the downed hammerhead, which he tries to roll away from, but catches 10 pellets in the chest and belly, on his right side. Blood instantly starts to flow from his wounder, but he jumps up and holds it with his left arm.
"Huff... huff... huff... you guys... are tough... But you still haven't seen the true power of fish-" before he can even finish the sentence three marines stab him in the back, impaling the sharkman and causes more blood to flow. He drops to his knees and continues to breath hard, still not dead. Kouhei decides to end this, kicking the fishman directly in the nose, killing him instantly. Taking a quick breather, Kouhei pounds fist with the Captain.
"Good job sir, it seems that we've taken out one of the leaders. And by the looks of it, we're decimating the fishmen forces. I thought this battle would rage on longer, but I'm guessing we'll have these villains cleared out in a couple of minutes." Kouhei says, still on guard for Fishmen to "cleanse".
(16 shots from his pistol, 2 from his boomstix, also used Soru)
