The Yonko pirates were able to regroup while the Marines followed orders. Geno and the Marine Captain held the line and only moved if the Pirates did. Causalities littered the battlefield on both sides. It was a sickening thing to see the innocent caught up in the crossfire like this. It was a normal occurrence in this ongoing faction war. It was a ugly, even angering to Geno to see. Marines carted the wounded off and the innocent ran scared from the scene. The pirates stood directly 15 meters in front of  Geno and the Marine captain. With clenched hands they watched the remaining force of the pirates gather directly in front of them. No words would be shared as Geno eyed down his attackers. He was visualizing how this would play out. Several scenarios played out in his head but he knew the Marine Captain could very well get in the way of things. The Yonko executive appeared among the crowd of Pirates. They parted like the red sea to let their captain come through.

A man in a regal outfit came from behind the pirates with his hands tucked behind him. He had a grin on his face as he looked over the two attempting to repel the group. He would only chuckle for a moment as he looked at both of them. “Seriously? This is it? This is the reason why you guys can't get through the front gate?” Renaldo was a bit surprised by this as by now the Yonko's pirates should have erased the Marine threat without his intervention. It mean one of two things, they were messing around or the opposing force was strong. Seeing the two he thought it be the first option that the Pirates were messing around to much. He stopped laughing for a moment to only point out the two before him only a meter 15 meters in front of them. “We have a monk in poor mans robes and a dusty marine. This is hysterical, yet embarrassing. If you don't kill them I will kill...”

There were no words shared from Geno only a red glare from his eyes. He was angry hearing this garbage spewed from the mouth of this man. Renaldo stopped talking and leaped backward suddenly sensing Geno's increasing bloodlust. The pirates had not known it but they were in grave danger at that given moment. Being only 15 meters away from Geno they were within his reach. Even the Marine Captain stepped behind him as the monster of a man stepped forward. He did not say a word as he was curious to what Geno could do with such a small bounty. Even he had his doubts that the large man was a threat to a Yonko executive.

Geno's right hand punched forward will full intent to destroy. Raw force erupted from this fist causing the sand to kick up and empty merchant carts to be blown backwards. The fodder that stood in front of Geno would be overwhelmed by the strength that Geno boasted. Even Renaldo found himself being blow backward as he would not be able to clear the distance needed to be safe. He would only cross his arms and activate Armament haki to protect himself at the last possible second. He was knocked backward to the outside of the attack but not unscathed. Debris and sand peppered his body as he flew backward which prompted him to unsheathe his weapon. He used the blade to ride the force backward. However, his sword cracked slightly from the blow of the attack. He looked shocked at the force this man boasted. He was now intrigued by the whole thing. He landed on the ground sliding backwards through the sand. He used the sword to deflect incoming debris, he also saw the bodies of his men caught up in the torrent of destruction.

Geno did not let up on his quarry as he rushed forward. The Marine Captain knew better to stay back as he was also in shock. He could only smile as he kept his sword ready. His den den mushi was ringing nonstop. He actually had a moment to pick it up as Geno spearheaded the situation.

“Captain! The defenses are failing! Minks have broken through! And pirates are here also!”

The Marine Captain looked distressed by this news. Alabasta was under Siege but they could not leave their post. As if they did this position would crumble also. Geno rushed forward and thrust his hand in their direction to increase the torrent of destruction. The air would distort and boom violently. The pirates in the immediate vicinity would only feel the force of a boulder slamming into them. Bodies were thrown everywhere in a instant. Renaldo would be trying to defend against the debris coming his way from the two attacks. Geno was relentless in his attacks as he pressed forward for Renaldo. He was enraged by this man's words as Arrogance was one of Geno's peeves. To look down on him was a cardinal sin in his eyes. In a way Geno did speak, but only with actions. As those were worth more than any idle talk.

There it was. Not the treasure that Raphael sought after, but a hole in the ground before him. He hadn't even made it to the Clock Tower yet, but he knew this wasn't good. Still he was within the realm his Devil Fruit had created, it being like a mirror of the world everyone else resided in. But they couldn't sense, nor could he sense them; or for that matter interact in anyway with them. But there was one thing he could do and that was see them, whilst they couldn't see him.

He had arrived to the hole, "So someone beat me to the punch, and even tripped a trap." Raphael would say to himself with a hint of irritation within his voice. No one should've even been able to get that far, well that is what he had thought. He was under the impression that he was the only Pirate that knew of a way to get into that place. But he was wrong about that. It seemed, to him, that this wasn't going to be a easy snatch and grab. Currently he believes that someone else that belonged to Davy Jones' crew had come here. But once he had safety descended into the hole, he didn't see anyone that he knew. So, once again he was wrong.

"So someone probably figured it out, strange. But I need to clear this place out. Only my Men deserve any riches below or in this City. But, I shouldn't have to deal with this, they need to also earn their keep." He would say to himself. Where he currently was at, after entering through the hole, was the center. But being still within the realm his Devil Fruit created that didn't matter. So, he would begin to walk from the center. His destination being outside of the opposite end of the passageway. Raphael at first felt that he shouldn't even deal with anyone here, as it was beneath him. But, he felt a great worry. What he was after was worth more than the life of anyone here, and he had to get it. And the chance of anyone else here going after what he wanted was something he couldn't have. So after walking a ways, twenty meters from his initial spot, he would stop in his tracks. He would then turn around, and from his side would remove one of his flintlocks. And as he loaded it he wondered if anyone would even survive what he was about to do. He would hold it up and aim it at the direction, what really put hesitation on him firing away was that he had Men within that crowd. In a instant he would make up his mind on what he would do. He would put the Flintlock he had away and pull out the other he had. He would then load that, but with  weaker ammo he had used for the other. He would then aim once more.



A small door would open in front of his Flintlock; the size big enough that he could put his whole arm through if he wanted, but he wouldn't do that. What he would do is pull the trigger once he had opened the small door. His aim wouldn't be at anyone in particular. Those using Observation Haki would be alerted to the Yonko's presence now; or more importantly the attack that was coming; this all due to him opening a door within his world.

The explosive bullet would make contact with the ground right before the entrance of the hole. This being because Raphael didn't take aim at anyone but would just shot forward. It hit a golden chalice someone would hold up. This man being only two meters away from the opening of the hole. and upon impact an eighteen diameter explosion would occur. All within the blast radius would take severe if not fatal injure. The door, upon, firing would close shut no matter the outcome of the explosion.

OOC:

Geno understood the gravity of the situation he was in, he was facing off against a stronger opponent. Thing was the man underestimated Geno's abilities due to some level of arrogance that clouded his judgment. Now he was being blown backward trying to not die from the onslaught that was The Behemoth had begun to show his true colors. Granted he was a force of nature for good, it did not change the fact his revealed nature was terrifying. From Renaldo's perspective he would only be able to tell a pair of red eyes emerging from the dust and debris. His haki was irrelevant at this moment because the target in question was already rushing directly at him with no remorse for his own life. He had encountered this kind of thing before. He had brushed with death dealing with someone like this. Someone who had really nothing to lose but their life. They are the most dangerous individuals you could ever encounter. A monstrous presence radiated from Geno's body, one that struck fear down to his core. Ideally he would have formed a tactical plan but he was being rushed down. He imbued his weapon with Haki and tried to keep attention on all things going on.

Even if sensory could not be overloaded the giant was pressing the advantage. He used the forward moving debris and force moving forward. A broken merchant cart was Geno's cover for his next attack. He used his outstretched palm to push the bottom of the cart forward. Renaldo would see this as a chance to attack as he dashed forward. He was trying to cleave the cart and Geno at one time. At the point of getting striking distance, energy would radiate outward from his left outstretched palm and he motioned his right hand in preparation for the next move. A explosion if energy pressed outward from his left hand as it blasted apart. The thing was Renaldo was in extreme danger. For a flash of energy he could have only swore that he saw the devil himself. Four arms erupted from Geno's back as his will power began to manifest itself in that exact moment.

Only the marines Captain would see this whole thing unfurl through haki sensory. He felt the monstrous presence that came from Geno's rage. In a split second this found was drawn to a quick conclusion. Due to Renaldo dashing forward he sealed his own fate. Geno had no intentions of holding back against a Yonko pirate. The cart exploded in a instant but behind that cart Geno's true form would be revealed to Renaldo for only a split second. With a heavy right hand he would pass judgment. Following the right fist, two other right arms motioned with a clenched fist a sudden explosion would erupt of raw power.


Everyone at the gate would be looking on to witness this happen. The air distorted and broke apart as the monster unleashed all of its might in one guy. Renaldo would be crushed under the power of Geno Ranzu in a instant. The ground would shake and break apart as Renaldo's body was blown deep into the ground. Sand moved away in accordance with Geno's actions. Only a crater would remain 30 meters away from the gate. As the dust cleared Geno's muscles relaxed a little bit and his veins were slowly reverting back to normal. The manifestiation began to disappate as he relaxed a bit. It would be hard to say Renaldo was getting back up. With Geno's power 3 arms all attack in unison with the same attack multiplying the destruction three fold. With his current strength he would be incapacitated.

His ribcage was broken and bone shattered causing all kinds of internal bleeding. The sand would already be shifting inward to resume its nature state. Geno would only speak calmly as he walked out of the crater slowly. “May god have mercy upon you.” Unable to move or really speak Renaldo would only see his life end slowly as the sandy crater became his grave. Walking out of the crater he would let out a deep sigh before remembering what he was here for. “Oh shit!” He would reach for his map and see the treasure still on the map and his marker. He would have to go through the shit storm that was the seige. He dashed towards the gate and passed the Marine Captain. He would not say anything as Geno passed by him. He couldn't say anything as he passed by him. The marines would only stand there waiting for some kind of order. But they all kind of understood that they had  to let Geno Ranzu go just this once. He just saved all these people and saved the marine captain even tho he was a pirate.

"Well, I didn't expect something like that." Raphael would say as he would sit there on the ground weapon damage all to hell, along with his clothing. He was still within his alternate dimension created by his peculiar Devil Fruit. As a explosion did occur.

He would stop in his tracks completely. He, honestly, couldn't believe at all what had just happened and for a brief second just stood there in disbelief.  He felt it throughout his body quickly. It enveloped him almost instantly in fact. The rage that this man had begun to feel would soon be unleashed. At first he had his eyes on just one person, but they seemed to stop a while ago. But even though he wanted to just stop and take his head, since it would be an easy thing, he wouldn't. But continue to travel with the other Minks. Even though he had a small reason as to attack the other one, he just didn't, as he had bigger fish, at this moment, to fry. He didn't though ever think that someone would say just a few words to trigger him. To stop him from thinking of his current goal. As disrespected especially from someone that wasn't of his kind was something he just couldn't stand for. Be it directed at him or at the others. Though he didn't show it he cared for each and every Mink here at this battle, and had prayed on thier safety before he had even dived this whole plan. Though he didn't let it slip to them of his involvement. Simply staying the shadows to act as if he was just a an average person amongst them crew. besides Ren no one knew of his true intentions or even the whole reason all of these forces were clashing in this city.


"From how you are looking at me, I am the one you called. 'Dick Nose'? Right?" Hector knew not everyone was well mannered or knew how to address strangers. He was the just the same way. He was the only one that followed the Yonko Raphael and never upheld any of the rules he had set for his crew. It wasn't his nature to make the best first impression. But, even though he was someone that didn't under the phrase 'treat others how you wanted to be treated'. Even if that may not have been thier intent he didn't care, not at all. Sometimes you just can't say certain things to certain people. As his bloodlust poured from his body he examined this Blue hair quickly after hearing the remark. He moved into action before he had even spoken.


To be considered one of the Elite among Pirates within this World you must prove it. How one does this differs from person to person. What Raphael, personally, has seen throughout his life has made him believe there are though only but a few ways individuals are able to do this. Three in fact that he has seen the most often. Wealth, Power, and Influence. But, to be truly cut above the rest having just one of those things won't cut it. As each one depends on the other. Or maybe the only thing that you need is luck.

He would fire his gun his Observation Haki active so that he wouldn't directly hit anyone with the bullet. And the explosion would occur. But, as he closed his door and was about to deactivated his Haki to manage his stamina it alerted him to a new danger that he was faced with. And a explosion would occur within his dimension, the scale larger than that of his own attack. This was something that he didn't expect to happen at all. As if instantly his entire body would be clad with Buso Haki, this to null the damage that he would take. The Buso Haki going right to it's max durability. He thought didn't do this for the flintlock he had within his hand, but rather he dropped it. And as the explosion began open another door, this one purposely more larger. Why well it was so that he wouldn't be the only to have to deal with this. The door's height was that of the explosion, but the width was simply of the passage they were within. The explosion had already been detonated once it had entered the alternate dimension, but it hadn't run it's course yet. The door being opened right as the small light began to expand. For this attack to have come before the Yonko's attack was slim. As upon the door opening he had fired, and then the light had passed through. It begging to expand when the first door had been closed.


He would push off of the ground a foot imprint being on the ground from his push. What he had did was similar to that of what those with the Marines, or Cipher Pols, us to instantly accelerate to thier top speed. And he would do just that. Without the aid of Haki, or the natural ability to react to him, his attack could be a truly devastating one. Taking the life directly from anyone too weak to do anything to stop him. As he was pushed forward he had his free hand outstretched, and balled into a fist. Whilst his other, the one with his blade, was lower. Ready to be swung at anytime he wished, his killing instrument. Was this Black Blade coated in Haki? Or another substance? It would be hard to tell what the material of this Black blade was. This attack though was simple in nature he was just moving straight forward. Avoiding it by just motioning to the  left might be enough. Or going with just jumping upward at the right moment would suffice. Something though would need to be done quickly though before the twenty meter gap would be closed. Maybe if the Blue haired even just ducked and tripped Hector the man would tumble into the building just behind the blue haired, it being five meters just behind him.  

The explosion would be enough to bridge the gap the Yonko had between everyone and also would go just a way behind him into his dimension. Both places would take severe damage if that mean't anything at all. But could this passageway withstand so many large scale attacks? After the explosion the plum of smoke would still fill the passageway. "Can we just talk?" Is all that would be heard, the voice being of the Yonko. "If so just walk forward, I won't attack you." Raphael would say, only but truth within his words. Whoever was able to survive what just happened he wanted to talk with them, as they were cut above the rest. Or maybe just lucky. Whatever it was it didn't matter. For some reason he wasn't able to save one his his pistols, but that was fine. As it laid on the ground he would wait thier with the door open. It's size dwelled now as it was the same size of the entrance to the clock tower. Hopefully they would trust him as if they didn't there would be now here they could go. The integrity of this passage way was going to be ended. As the explosions would set off any other traps that still remained and would make this place truly a death trap. He was the safest place for anyone that wanted to live, if they had survived the attack from before. No, he was not the safest place. He was the only place, or person for that matter, that could have the means to take anyone to the real treasure, and not this fool's gold.

For those that had heeded his words and would hurry their self along he would say "Well, I didn't expect something like that."

OOC:

At the moment of dashing he would stop for a moment as he heard screaming from a nearby marines pocket. He looked over at the marine and pointed at his pocket. “Where is that transmission coming from?” He asked calmly. The marine did not know how to correctly respond to Geno. He was a pirate but he did just save all of them. So he only reached for the den den mushi and handed it to Geno. With a nod Geno would dash off towards the middle of the city which was the clock tower. There was mass panic and hysteria as people were running the streets. It was hard to hear what was going on. So he stopped for a moment and crouched down. With the muscles in his legs he flexed them completely and leaped several meters into the air. So high he could see above the buildings and the main plaza. This is where people scattered from like cockroaches. Ideally that is where Geno wanted to be. However, the screaming in the den den mushi was more important. More people needed to be saved. Then the screaming died down as someone calmly spoke into the snail.

“Please, anyone help the east gate we can't hold anymore.” Then static would only accompany the statement. One could only assume whoever was speaking was dead.

Knowing he came from the front entrance which was the north gate according to the map before. He needed to go to the left towards the north east. This would lead him to the east gate. Using his innate ability of his fighting style he pressed off the air. It was similar to that of geppou or sky walk. Using the ability to use the energy of kicks to seemingly fly through the air. The city was large so it would take a bit to cross across the air. However, it would cut travel exponentially because he wouldn't need to run through a crowd of people. Geno's mind was racing because he didn't really know what to expect when he reached the east gate. He dashed across various rooftops in a shinobi like fashion. Covering a large amount of ground in only a matter of minutes. With his strength and long strides he was able to keep a steady top speed across roof tops. He leaped off a rooftop and stuck his hand into the side of the building as he fell downward. His strength allowed him to slow his descent to the ground. Finger marks were left in the side of the building as he slid down the side of it. He would land on the street and run towards the main gate. Upon reaching the eastern entrance he could see the door had been blown open. A boy was rushing away from the large mink trying not to get cleaved in half.

They tumbled into a building that was nearby as the mink blindly rushed into the building disregarding his size. He ran up till he was directly in the building that they tumbled into. As he reached earshot which was about ten meters away from the building. Geno picked up a rock right next to him and launched it at the minks back with minor effort. He didn't put a whole lot of power behind it, it was meant to get the monsters attention. Not actually kill him in any way shape or form. “Oi! Pick on someone your own size!” This was said after the rock was sent on it's way. Standing ten meters away from the front of the building in the street. Geno would only crack his neck in preparation.

'What a missed opportunity.' Was all the Yonko thought to himself as he didn't move from his spot. As he knew they would try to do their attack once again. As this was the reason he hadn't dropped his Buso haki at all, as it could take something of a higher strentgh than this light. Though it was a good attack and maybe would be able to get rid of maybe one of his Commanders he was in a whole nother league. They should've just joined him as he wasn't going to do anything to them, if he wanted to he would've. As all he wanted to do was talk to them about what everyone here should really be after and also ask them to join his crew, because of their abilities. But now he wouldn't even say a word to them, maybe next time he sees them. As his door closed the attack would consume the dimension. No further manipulation would be able to occur though as the ink between these words was gone. And if anyone had tried to come through the door the Yonko would notice and react accordingly by attacking with his rapier instead of his flintlocks. To show them why he was the most dangerous Yonko when it came to weaponry. After the explosion would end he would begin to walk heading up stairs and to the entrance of the clock tower. He wouldn't be hurt from the collapsing passageway like others.

He was too slow and too weak, there would also be no way for him to perceive hector as he moved at this speed, even if the distance was this far. He would be nothing but a blur tot he boy and he would indeed die, if someone hadn't saved him. The man that stood before Hector and was able to stop his quick advance was Grand-master: Ren Actimel, the Shichibukai who was in charge of this place. "Change of plans. It isn't here." He would tell Hector and that was all he needed to stop the Mink's killing intent. If what they weren't searching for wasn't here then it wasn't a point in betraying Raphael yet and he needed to get away from the Minks.

Raphael was now outside of the Clock tower, and he would remove the key from his neck. He then would open a door on the wall closest to the entrance to the clock tower. This door swinging into his dimension, there being no way for anyone to intervene with what he was doing. He would insert the key and then turn it, quickly and once done he would close the door. Leaving the key into the wall. There was a hidden slot for the key it being there since the Tower was built. It would then begin. The whole Clock tower would begin to shack and most of the stone would then shake and reveal strange markings that went all the way up to the top of the clock tower. What was there wouldn't be read able by just anyone as it was written in a ancient langue that was only seen on Poneglyphs. This though wouldn't be the only thing that would happen as the top of the clock tower would begin to open and something would fire directly into the sky.

"Below the earth was nothing but something to draw the fools away. Gold that would turn a peasant into a King. But for those that where already King wouldn't need it and should look to the sky. And want the riches of God." Raphael would say as there would be a loud explosion heard throughout the entirety of the city as it occurred miles above it. And then it would begin to rain. But this rain was different as what rain from the sky was nothing but Gold, Diamonds, and the like. This isn't what Raphael wanted though what he wanted was to see where the the road was, and he would after he would examine the text on the Clock tower. What he was after would still be far away but he was one step closer. What the Clock tower was was actually a piece of an Ancient weapon, well the top. What it had done was blow up a sky Island that was directly above this city that no one knew of, but a few.

Hector and Ren would see this and know that they would have to head out now. And they would. But, if they would be attacked they would simple show that they weren't in the mood and would unleash the wrath of Kings upon anyone that got any closer to them. As no one in this area would even be able to stand against it at their level right now. Maybe next time they could.
