Baron didn't really know how to feel. On one hand he had turned a criminal over to the marines who were his mortal enemies. On the other hand he had made a bit of beli off of it and it was pretty funny. He decided that even though he hated the marines it was a good thing to get that guy off the streets. So, with his mental dilemma solved, Baron continued his stroll through the red district of Baltigo, thinking maybe he'll find another criminal to turn in. He now understood why bounty hunters did what they did despite not being perfect citizens themselves. It made him feel superior to all of the other lowly criminals because he didn't get caught.

Somewhere along his stroll, Baron decided to stop in a bar for a few drinks. Inside of the bar he saw something that filled him with an extreme amount of confusion. There, directly in front of his face was the very criminal Baron had turned in to the Marines just hours earlier. This didn't make sense though, because the man had definitely had a bounty and shouldn't have been freed so soon. The criminal was seated at a table in discussions with a mysterious cloaked man. I'm sorry sir, I don't have your money. That guy who turned me over to the marines took my coat before he turned me in to the marines. The criminal seemingly worked under this cloaked man. Maybe Baron had stumbled onto something much bigger. Baron's smile stretched across his face at the thought of even more bounties but it completely faded away at the words of the cloaked man, We marines let you idiots off the hook when you commit crimes and all we ask for in exchange is a portion of the money. Baron was completely disgusted at this new information. He knew that some of the marines were corrupt, but the idea of them directly working with criminals disgusted him.

Baron was ready to get up and confront the man but he once again completely stopped Baron with his actions. Most people in the bar only heard the screeching sound the blade made, but Baron, who was staring intently, saw the man reach down before the horrific screeching filled the air. Aside from the screeching sound, nothing else was heard though every bystander saw the huge spray of blood from the criminal's neck. After brutally murdering someone who supposedly worked for him, the marine turned and locked eyes with Baron before the area went completely dark for a split second. When people were able to see once again, the marine was gone. Baron smirked, before silently walking out with his eyes hid.

After leaving the bar, Baron immediately decided to go after the mysterious marine. Baron was extremely excited to be hunting once again. For far too long he had been suffering with an itch that he couldn't scratch. One of the revolutionary generals had told Baron that senseless killing was not something that a revolutionary captain should be participating in. This was the very reason Baron had come to Baltigo, he was sure that he'd find someone to kill here and he finally had. Baron only hoped that the marine would be a worthy adversary and not just fodder.

He wandered around the city for a few hours before night finally fell. As soon as things got completely dark Baron started smiling brightly. He wrapped his cloak over both shoulders before before he started to sprint through the city looking for anyone he believed could be traced back to the corrupt marine. Once Baron had set his sights on prey, he would do anything to make sure he found his target. This marine wasn't going to get away with getting Baron all excited and disappearing, Baron was enjoying the hunt but he was getting really anxious and wanted the head of this marine.

As Baron searched through the Red District of Baltigo he passed by another alley, remembering how he had encountered the last criminal in an alley he decided to try his luck once again. As he walked into the alley he saw an extremely tall man leaning against the wall, his face covered in shadow. The man was ridiculously tall, much taller than Baron, standing at around 16 feet tall. The man had on a long coat that somehow was long enough to cover most of his massive body and as he stepped into the light after seeing Baron he could see that the man was wearing a surgical mask just like the man Baron saw get killed in the bar. They must have both been part of that corrupt group of drug dealers.

What do you need stranger?Baron wasn't really in a talking mood, so he decided to just injure the man and get his answers as the man bled out. The man's attempt at conversation was interrupted by Baron slicing him in half with a vicious chop. The man's upper body and lower body slid apart, but to Barons surprise his torso sprouted legs and his legs grew a head. The tall man turned out to be two identical men standing on each other's shoulders. The entire situation was very stupid but it really just made Baron happy. This meant he could kill one before he got the answers he wanted out of the other.

"Shishishishishi" The man who was the top of the childish trench coat gag began laughing at managing to trick Baron with his little gag. "You fell for our trick, there are really two of us." The idiot really at felt proud of his actions for know reason. The man who had been one the bottom finally spoke up and added to the overall idiocy of the situation, "Hehehehe this is more than you bargained for isn't it." The two idiots were completely identical, both standing at exactly 8 feet tall and wearing surgical masks along with long black coats. Their only distinguishing features were their idiotic laughs. "Was there really a purpose of doing that if you're both just going to die anyway?" The twins looked at each other before breaking out into laughter. They both then looked directly at Baron before speaking in unison, "Try me please." Both of the twins took up combat stances in front of Baron. The rude twins then lunged at Baron suddenly.

The two goofy drug dealers were so quick to attack that they never introduced themselves. Baron decided to call the top twin Lefty and the bottom one Righty. The names wouldn't really matter too much since they were going to die but Baron was nice like that. Lefty and Righty can at him at the same time with punches aimed at his face. Baron's face turned into stone just before they hit him causing them to injure themselves hitting his extremely hard stone. Both of the twins recoiled from the pain of breaking their knuckles. "You should really think before you act guys." The twins now realized they were outmatched and there was nothing they could do. "Now I need you to tell me where I can find your marine boss." One of the twins decided to speak up, "I don't know what you're talking about." This twin apparently wasn't the smart one. "I only really need one of you, and I guess you aren't that one," Baron's words were the last thing the guy would ever hear before a rock covered fist completely smashes his face, splattering his brains all over the ground. "Now I'm going to ask one more time, where is your boss? Baron was sure he would get an answer to his question this time. "You can find them in an alley two blocks away, the back wall actually leads to a tunnel, you'll find them all there." "Thanks for the help, now its time to sleep." Baron's hasshoken imbued finger penetrated directly through the man's forehead, ending his life.

Stamina:

Baron went down to the next block, finding another alley with a crowd of about 15 people in it. The people all looked to be in bad shape. Some were fidgeting uncontrollably and others simply looked depressed. Baron realized that these were the people who bought the drugs from the gang members. The fact that these people were all huddled together in this alley made Baron sad. These marines had ruined the lives of these people they were supposed to be protecting, and all just to earn a quick buck. Baron had always believed that the marines were overly noble arrogant assholes who had such a strong moral compass they couldn't relate to regular people. He now saw that the marines were just like the rest of the people on Baltigo. As everything he thought he knew about the marines seemed to be wrong, he found himself still hating them. How were they going to protect the little people if they had no problem ruining their lives. While Baron himself was no hero and he hated the marines for being such, he knew someone had to fill that role. If the world government couldn't produce soldiers that could even accomplish that, they served no purpose is this world, and deserved to be toppled starting with the corrupt man who he saw ruthlessly murder his own soldier for something that was Baron's fault. That man seemed to be the prime example of someone with power that deserved to have it stripped away. Besides, if he wanted to punish someone for Baron's actions, he would have to try and do so to Baron himself.  

Out of my way Baron pushed his way through the crowd of people to stand in front of the wall blocking off the two sides of the alley. Baron touched his hand against the wall, and allowed himself to fuse into the wall with his devils fruit powers. There was nothing behind the wall but Baron found that the wall served as a sort of door to a tunnel that was beneath the alley. When Baron was in the tunnel he found himself on a staircase leading downwards. The tunnel was dimly lit by torches that were on the walls all along the tunnel leading down. He went all the way down the stairs until he found himself in a huge room. The room was completely filled with tables upon which sat large stacks of cash. There were two men who were completely focused on counting large stacks of money while sitting in chairs at the far wall. The thing that bothered Baron was that the marine was nowhere to be found however. He had come all this way for nothing. 'Well, if I cant get my prey, ill destroy everything he stands for' Baron thought before he walked over to one of the tables and punched through it, breaking it in half and sending the cash flying all over the room. This caused the two men to look up from counting their money to look at Baron.

Who the 'ell are you? The man on the left side asked. He was wearing an eye patch as well as a traditional black pirate captains hat and coat. He had a lit cigar in his mouth, which he pulled out and held in his hand as he addressed Baron. Did the boss send you? What do you need to buy? His partner spoke up, his eyes turning into dollar signs at the thought of a potential business deal. Yeah, I'm here to meet with your boss about some business. Baron decided it was best to try and get the two men to tell him where the marine was instead of just killing them outright. Nah 'Arry, the boss didn't say anything about any business happening. Why are you really here stranger? 'Fuck' This guy with the eye patch wasn't an idiot like Baron hoped he would be. That's upsetting, I was really hoping I'd get to make some more money George. I was really looking forward to my cut of this weeks haul, but the idiot got himself arrested. Baron chuckled at the thought of how he already was ruining the business before he decided to actively target it. Yeah sorry about that. The two  looked at Baron in shock that quickly turned to anger after learning he caused their deal to fail. You're the one responsible for that? Do you have any idea how hard it is to run a profitable drug business on an island where there's so much other illegal activity? This caused Baron to raise an eyebrow. One would think it would be easier on a crime infested island, especially since the marines let them get away with their actions. With the slave trade being to prominent here, there's always a chance that our clients get taken away from us, so you arresting that idiot and taking our money doesn't help. Baron understood what it was like to be a criminal trying to get things done without being caught by the marines, but these guys were directly working for marines and ruining lives, which made their chances of getting any sympathy non-existent. It doesn't matter, since I'm going to kill you both and then kill your boss. Baron got into a combat stance and prepared to fight the two drug lords at once.

George put his cigar back into his mouth and swallowed it whole, completely shocking Baron. They call me George the Ash man, I ate the Ash Ash fruit, which gave me the power to control ash. After his statement, he inhaled deeply, and then exhaled a large amount of ash in Baron's direction. Whoa George don't forget to involve me, they call me Harry the Mane, my impressive mane will tear you limb from limb. Harry's hair grew extremely long, and extended towards Baron with intent to grab him. Baron would watch these attacks come towards him, and as if he is uninterested, he'd flick his hand causing a wall of rock to sprout from the ground in front of him, blocking the ash. He wasn't entirely prepared for the strength of the hair however, so it was actually able to puncture his wall and grab him, before pulling him in so quickly that he smashed into his own wall. Baron was able to quickly transform into rock though, which made him smash through wall. Harry was trying to pull him in as quickly as possible so he would smash into the wall harder, so when Baron went through he still had enough momentum to smash directly into Harry hard enough to knock him unconscious. He probably wouldn't be out for that long so Baron wanted to kill him as quickly as possible. During all of this, he forgot about George. This would prove to be a costly mistake when Baron receives a blob of hot ash to his back, burning through his cloak and singeing his skin. Baron turned towards George and lunged towards him with fist covered in rock. George was unimpressed though, and caught his attack in an ash covered fist. This action started to burn through his rock due to its pure heat. Baron responded with a swift hasshoken imbued knee to his gut, causing George to double over and cough out blood. Baron sees his chance and delivers a crushing left hook to George's temple causing him to fall unconscious. Baron attempts to stomp Georges skull to end his life but is interrupted once again, this time by Harry grabbing him around the neck with his hair and yanking him backwards. This action makes the back of Baron's head hit the ground so hard he sees stars. Baron recovers in time to see Harry's fist right before he is punched directly in the jaw. Unfortunately for Harry, Baron's skin is ridiculously hard. Barons of this, Baron is able to tank his punch and reach up to grab Harry's throat. He creates another wall behind Harry and slams his head against it so hard the wall cracks. He repeats this action until the wall is destroyed and Harry's head looks like a watermelon that was dropped from the roof of a 3 story building. He turns to George's body behind him and smiles wickedly. He picks up his lifeless body and silently opens a hole in the ground beneath it. He throws the body in along with what is left of Harry. He closes the hole, causing the bodies to be crushed by the earth. He feels briefly accomplished before he hears clapping behind him. I guess this is why they say never to work with criminals.

Baron instantly lunged towards Frank without even talking. You aren't escaping me again! Baron was in full hunter mode. He wasn't focused on anything other than killing his prey. He stuck out at Frank with a hasshoken imbued left hook. Whoa you're just going to get straight to it? So be it. Frank swayed to the right to avoid Baron's attack before delivering a jab and a straight to Baron's face. Baron was so angry and full of blood lust that he ignored the pain and lunged towards Frank trying to strike him with a straight. Frank swayed away but feinted as if he was leaning back causing Baron to overextend. Frank capitalized on this opportunity by delivering a crushing kick to Baron's stomach. Frank continued to completely dominate Baron in hand to hand combat since Baron was so blinded by blood lust. I hope you now understand how outmatched you are. Baron was now starting to come out of his rage because of how his ass was being handed to him.

Baron started to focus more. All of a sudden his attacks started to land. Baron landed a right cross that sent Frank flying backwards. Baron then lunged forward using his hasshoken to increase his speed. He caught up to Frank in the air and then kicked downwards causing him to impact the floor causing a lot of dust to be kicked up blocking Frank from Baron's sight. Frank was laughing maniacally for some unknown reason, HuhuhuhuhuhuhuHAHAHAHAHAA!! Partway through, his laugh became more booming, and after the dust cleared, Baron saw Frank, only he was much more imposing. He once stood at 6 feet tall, and now he was around 12 feet tall, allowing him to stand even taller than Baron. He was much more muscular, and he overall looked more dangerous. I hope you dont think this will be easy, you're gonna die. And there's nothing you can do about it AHAHAHAA!

Baron tried to attack Frank during his monologue with a hasshoken punch but Frank met him head on with a casual swing of his arm. Nice try worm, but you'll have to do better than that. Frank swung downwards with his huge fist and Baron attempted to meet it head on with a punch of his own but Frank casually sent him flying. Baron's mind began racing with possibilities for how he could win the fight, and he concluded that his strength wouldn't be enough. He would have to really use his devil's fruit abilities. Baron focused his energy on making the ground within a 30 meter area soft enough that Frank would slowly start to sink. Frank was unable to move on the ground due to his massive weight increase. Baron then jumped up before slamming down with his fist using a hammer fist attack to attack from above. Frank tried to hit baron back but his lack of stable ground caused him to only sink faster. Frank eventually sank to the point where only his head and neck were visible. Baron allowed the ground to become hard once again and then walked over to Frank. He used his hasshoken to cause his fist to produce vibrations before he punched Frank in his unprotected face. He then made his other fist made of rock and punched him again. He ruthlessly beat Frank to death alternating between hasshoken and earth fists. Once Frank was dead, Baron was left in a room full of cash and the town was free from the corrupt marine.
