We'll if nothing else at least their predicament would ensure a pause in the mutilation of unsuspecting reptiles, for the moment if nothing else. The cage was cramped and sweaty and it seemed none were all too pleased to be stuck there. "Don't worry about it, it's not like you could hurt me even if you tried" his tone was far more optimistic than he felt, but the last thing they needed now was to start falling apart at the seems. Much better robin spend his time thinking about how he'd prove some butterfly arse hole wrong than dwelling on the despairing nature of their plight.

That said when it came to their predicament he wasn't entirely sure what exactly they were going to do. As insurmountable as it may seem the straightforward nature of their problem was also a blessing. If the fact was robin and Sergei being within range of crows meant he could knock them out at will and there was nothing they could do about it, then their only option was simple they just had to not be within range of him.

"It's not going to be easy but we'll find a suitable moment, and when it appears you and Sergei need to concentrate on nothing but getting as far from crows as quickly as possible. Once you're out of range of whatever it is he uses you'll have a much easier time. Till then just keep your eyes open, and remember many of these people used to wear the same badge as us, don't let the situation blind you, we shouldn't hurt them more than necessary" it seemed their words ruffled more than a few feathers, the idea of escape already a taboo among those who had been detained here. One way or another he was going to have to rescue them but that task became exponentially harder if they didn't even want to save themselves. "Sorry, sorry, we weren't intending to disturb you. Please just ignore us, such plans would be no use to anyone who'd rather spend 100 days as a dog than one day as a man under the sun." The irritated rabble grew only more aggravated kazukis hands raised defensively as he brushed off e threats as though his feeding the frenzy has been unintentional. But every seed had to start being planted somewhere.

The sound of unlatching padlocks and sliding bolts heralded their first brief taste of freedom, or whatever it was you could call this. If yo grim procession they were lead out to the sands, jeers and cat calls applauding them as they entered. Most men barely bore the desire to continue in their expression while sparse few held the embers of those who relished in combat, and seemed even to eagerly anticipate what came next.

The world around him became immersed in deep water, sounds distorted as they reached him, thoughts already trained on how he could limit the losses as much as possible. The ground beneath their feet shook and reverberated, scaled claws drawing ever closer before a hulking body covered in autum hues burst onto stage, spittle and hot rancid breath washing over them in a feral roar.

The atmosphere was electric, terror washing over those around him as a second towering body burst free, no less ravenous for soft flesh than its predecessor. It really was a terrifying visage to look at, and kazuki was stripped of his weapons aside from those that bordered the arena. Wasting no time he sprinted to the nearest weapon rack, grabbing spear and sword in hand, not especially practiced with either but fully aware he'd need everything he had for this.

A couple steps forward at a light jog before leaping into a heaving throw, hurling the spear at the nearest of the two beast the weapon piercing deep into its chest but obviously just pissing it off more as it gave a ferocious howl and stampeded toward him. If he could occupy the attention of at least one that significantly reduced the danger for the rest, but it wasn't enough.

The prisoners stirred at Kazuki's words but despite what they had said and acted out before they weren't quite willing to fight without being forced to do so. However this odd form of cowardice, in which they wanted to fight for a poor reason but found themselves too afraid to do so, they easily excused with the fact that they'd get their chance in the arena where there would be an honorable death or killing rather than in some filthy cell. Kazuki was the first of their group to leave and Robin followed behind quickly as he came out he saw that they weren't alone and that two of the terror beasts were waiting for him. Without his devil fruit he was feel much less confident and as the damn thing charged at him his best idea was to simply run, as it seemed to oddly only want to murder him. Even while some of the other prisoners had begun attacking it with their weapons it ignored all their attacks only to chase after him with an alarming speed and precision as Robin felt a few nips on his backside. Screeching loudly with each bite that struck way too close the young marine jumped in the air. "Why is it trying to kill me? Theres plenty of other people here. Kazuki get this thing off my ass!"

Almost as soon as the group of Marines made their way into the arena, things did not look up at all. First and foremost, the walls were too high to climb and it appeared that there was some sort of clear or transparent covering between the viewers and the fighters. It did not look like glass so Sergei was not entirely sure what he was looking at. One thing for certain and that was that it was there in place to prevent debris and perhaps bullets from hitting the audience. That was just bad business after all. Unfortunately, that presented yet another thing that the Marine would have to surpass before he could get to the pirates beyond. Quickly scanning the crowd, the inventor failed to spot McTugBoat. What he did see as his gaze went back to the arena were two giant lizard monsters, looking eager to sink their teeth into human flesh. Further complicating matters was the fact that he no long possessed any of his weapons, including some of the custom bullets he kept on his person. So it seemed like they went through his pockets, which made the possibility of them seeing his orders all the more likely.

Letting Robin and Kazuki deal with the lizards, the marksman surveyed the rack of weapons. Aside from the usual swords, one of which he took, axes, spears, and maces, there were also a couple of rifles. Curious as to why they would allowed rifles in the arena, Sergei quickly examined the rifles, finding that they were shotguns instead of rifles, and terrible ones at that. While he could not tell for certain, it was doubtful that the shotgun would be any way useful beyond a couple of feet. He hoped that there would be some pistols because they were what he was familiar with, but having some sort of a ranged weapon was better than nothing so he did not hesitate to grab a shotgun and hold it in front of him, ready to blast anyone who foolishly would decided to come near him. It seemed that whatever Kazuki did to one was rather ineffective while another started chasing Robin with no regard for anyone else in the ring. For now, the inventor did not bother doing anything and simply held his ground.

This thing was dangerous, dangerous beyond words. It made the one that they’d encountered in the wilderness look like an infant both in mass and in attitude. They had clearly starved the beast, shown it little but cruelty for the ferocity with which it sought to tear his flesh from his bones was unmatched by anything he’d ever encountered. And this was a man who spent a large portion of his time pissing off bloodthirsty pirates. From the flank he could see robin running from his own razor toothed menace, calling out for help as if kazuki wasn’t in a similarly dire situation. Being that his dinosaur currently had a spear hanging from it’s body the marine was willing to wager it’s anger outmatched robins for the moment and thus if anyone was in the more dire danger it was him, so reasonably it only made sense that he deal with his first before trying to assist anyone else. Well at least that was the line he was running with, and he’d be sticking to it too.

Large clumps of earth were gouged from the ground, powerful jaws snapping at his heels and tearing great hunks of the sands beneath their feet out in the process. Fully aware that running would get him nowhere long term he turned to face the challenge as he had done many a time before, ignoring the voice in his head that called for him to turn tail and flee as best he could, no matter how adamant it was to make itself heard. As next it’s maw bowed to rip legs from body he leapt, this time cocking an arm back to render a thunderous punch to the animal’s skull. But when he struck it was as though punching through a myre of molasses only to hit a plate of metal, he could feel no substance to the impact.

These cuffs, these damanble cuffs they were going to be the friggin end of him. Tossing it’s head upward the reptile flung the man that had landed atop it away, hurling kazuki through the air before he stopped with clattering thud slammed into the arena wall, the stonework cracked and fractured from his impact. Gingerly he touched the back of his skull, pulling fingers away to find them painted a dark crimson ”Et tet tet, I don’t get paid nearly enough for this kind of thing, if I was a smarter man I would just quit” the admission came as the sound of his own words hung heavy in his head, the atmosphere around distorted as though sinking through deep waters to reach him. When finally he deciphered just what it was he was hearing he realized it was thrilled screams, looking up to see the beast charging towards him once more barely meters from snapping him in two.

Body thrown to the side on instinct it came none too soon, the charge crashing into the arena wall, he felt his body move but could not be sure whether it was result of command or reflex, suddenly upon his feet he leapt at the dazed creature, the blade he held pointed downward before he conjoined weight with gravity to lend power too his blow.

With a feral snarl his legs were whipped from the ground, blade piercing the creatures snout but only serving to enrage it further, kazuki now pinned too it by his anchor as it thrashed this way and that, his grip rapidly slipping doing all he could do to hold on. When towards the ground it whipped it’s neck he released, coming to a tumbling halt, just barely in time to roll himself out the way as the other giant lizard came storming through his path, nowhere safe in this place. Scrambling toward the weapon rack he grabbed for another to take in hand, not choosy this time just letting his grip close over whatever it was first to find, the blade in it’s mouth only able to distract the dino temporarily its thirst for vengeance already rising. It wasn’t exactly the most humane way to do things, but he was no game keeper and this was no sanctuary so for now he’d just have to do what he could.

Robin kept running and running and running with no help in sight. He was pretty limited in options as he didn't believe his own strength capable of really handling that Dinosaur without a lot of problems so he didn't want to turn around and fight it directly. Instead he decided to play it smart, jumping up backwards he hopped up into the air and landed on the neck of the terrible lizard. The ancient beast thrashed about while Robin punched it in the head. Eventually it stopped it's thrashing after several good whacks but still it seemed unwilling to let someone ride it. Kicking his heels against the side of it's throat the cowboy yelled "Giddy yup!" and suddenly the t-rex took off just like a horse would have running about wildly and charging into it's partner, knocking the other dinosaur onto it's side "The calvary has arrived!" Robin yelled down, waving to Kazuki. "I think I might just turn into a beast master after this island!" As the stunned dinosaur tried to pick it self back up Robin yelled out the command Bite!" and suddenly the tyrannosaurus he rode upon bit down on the other dinosaur.

The king of lizards shook of the powerful jaws of it's brother or sister, identifying gender was quite hard honestly, as it got up. Now however it had two strong competitors and was unsure of who to attack as it looked between Kazuki and Robin.

Things were certainly getting interesting. Well, interesting in the way like a train wreck is interesting. It seemed that Kazuki was not doing all to well against his own opponent. The reason behind that were probably the cuffs, which were most likely seastone considering that the pirates had already seen the man using his powers, just like with Robin. Fortunately, this Marine had no such problem. The problem that he did have was whether or not he should risk his life to come to the two other Marines' aid. Sure it would probably be more useful to have them life and on his side, but he had a feeling that he might regret helping them. Unfortunately, that feeling probably stemmed from Rinry's betrayal but it wasn't like he would ever be able to forget it. Fortunately, while he was having an existential crisis, it seemed that Robin had mastered his own opponent before directing the dinosaur that he was on to attack the one that was bothering Kazuki. The inventor could not help but smile at the sight because for some unknown reason it was somewhat funny.

But even if it was funny and it looked like they had the upper hand for now, who knew that the pirates might decide to throw against them next. As such, it was imperative to finish this fight as quickly as possible. Not wasting any more time than he had already, the doctor dashed towards the dinosaur that had the spear embedded into his chest and a sword into its snout, using the distraction that Robin's arrival provided to leap on top of the creature's head. Spending a few scarce moments to stabilize himself on top, Sergei very quickly pressed the shotgun between the dinosaur's eyes before pulling the trigger. The Marine felt a dull thud with his feet and saw blood start to leak out of the wound moments before the creature began thrashing around. Taking the movements as his cue to leave, the marksman leapt off the creature, tumbling as he reached the ground before starting to quickly reload the shotgun just in case the dinosaur needed a double tap.

Looking down at what he found in his hand kazuki could not help but feel a wave of disappointment wash over him, some kind of nine tailed whip which would of course prove less than poignant when your opponent was a lizard that happened to be a good 4-5 times your height. Opting not to even attempt to make use of it he found he was throwing himself to the side and tumbling to his feet as a scaled tail whipped round and crashed into the weapon rack itself, splintering it and sending the arms scattered in all direction, their collection an even less easy task than it had been moments before, which was already less than desirable.

The crowd erupted in gleeful cheers, their lust for blood sated not in the slightest and anything that made it harder for the contestants like cat nip to them. Kazuki could almost smell the fear in the air, though he himself was not too viciously injured there were others that were not so lucky, a man who was even now dragging himself with all he had to the arena’s edge his leg a gammy mess of torn flesh and splintered bone, while across the others die one man lay dead already, his body battered and broken. Any idea he had of getting out of this without any casualties were shown to be exactly what they were, idealistic dreams, the foolishness of an optimist who refused to stop wanting that which he new to be nigh on impossible.

Fortunately he was not alone, the assistance came next so outlandishly ridiculous Kazuki had to assume witnessing it was just the result of his earlier concussion, and so he would. But after it all one dinosaur was down and the other one didn’t seem to be in much mood to attack anyone so they were pretty good for the moment.

"Alright we're breaking out of here!", Robin declared feeling far too confident now that he had domesticated a dinosaur. Perhaps domesticate was too strong of a word however as it kept trying to bite Kazuki and he had to keep kicking it on the sides of it's head. Unfortunately it seemed that the handlers of this pit weren't quite happy with him and fire a well aimed bullet down at his new pet, killing it. The large beast fell over on it's side with Robin collapsing to the ground with it, his leg pinned under it's massive weight. "Ah shit guys i'm trapped." He groaned, struggling to push the beast off himself. From above a voice called down to them. "No more of that funny business or you'll get the bullet next! Round two starts now."

With the sound of old metal creaking loudly the gates began to open with a pouring out of gladiators. Some of which Robin recongized as marines who had went missing previously. It didn't seem they were in a good mood for revolution however since at soon as they spilled out they began attacking each other as well as the three of them. Robin himself being trapped found himself in a rather promblematic position and could only tigthen up his muscles as men began to poke and slash at him with multiple weapons. His body tightened up made him immobile but as durable as a mass of iron> All he could do was hope that one of his friends would come to his aid soon enough.

Finishing the reload, Sergei kept the shotgun at the ready but it seemed like it would not be needed as the giant lizard that had perforated the skull of collapsed to the ground. With the immediate threat gone, the Marine attempted to awkwardly brush himself off, the task being harder than normal due to his constrained hands. Hell, he was surprised that he had actually managed to pull off shooting this dinosaur without having the gun being ripped from his hands due to a lack of proper grip. He would need to be more careful in the future. Was keeping the irons clasped to their hands designed to make the fights more interesting? Having them on Kazuki and Robin made sense due to their devil fruit powers but him? There was no reason to keep his hands clasped in irons aside from simply leveling the playing field. Either way, he would need to be careful, but as much as he kept telling himself that, his secret would undoubtedly come out sooner or later. The inventor just hoped that it would be later rather than sooner.

Feeling the ground shake behind him, the doctor glanced back, seeing that the dinosaur that Robin had been riding had fallen to the ground and did not appear to be moving. More worrying, well, actually less, than having a giant lizard that you depended on for support in the fight was having said giant lizard trap Robin underneath its body. So now their group was down two fighters, leaving only himself and Kazuki to face whatever was coming next. And chances were it would be Kazuki that would go to try to get Robin out since Sergei really did not care to, leaving the marksman alone to face the incoming horde. And speaking of the incoming horde, it did not take them too long to show up, appearing out of a rusty looking gate on the opposite end of the arena. Fortunately, it appeared that the horde was just as interested in fighting themselves as in fighting the three newcomers. And that was just how the doctor prefered it, keeping the shotgun ready but not trying to engage anyone, not just yet.

Kazuki was forced to pinch the bridge of his nose as things unfolded almost exactly as you might expect given their situation. Robin’s impromptu accosting of the giant lizard was put to a swift end as it was put down before he could initiate the rebellious escape plan he had howled of too the high heavens. This resulted in the great beast toppling over unfortunately with the marine on the underside of it. Just what they needed in the midst of a bunch of people who wanted them dead. Had that been the end of it things might not have been so bad, they could have licked their wounds, called it a day and maybe even gotten some nap time back in the cage. But alas things were never so easy for our hero’s of the hour. With robin pinned to the ground numerous more combatants poured into the arena, these one’s clearly not as green around the gills as those who had come before them.

They were battle worn and haggard, littered by cuts and bruises that told tale of numerous fights before this one. And it swiftly showed too, those that had made it through the first round didn’t tend to get too far into the second before finding themselves cut down by an errant blow too much for them to handle. Kazuki’s attention was being dragged in too many places at once, His guard raising as he used the cuffs like gauntlets to deflect the blows coming at him, keeping light on his toes ducking and diving to avoid getting skewered himself, keeping an eye on robin to ensure he wasn’t dead yet while also surveying the melee around him for anyone on the verge of being killed themselves. He had to keep casualties to a minimum. ”Incapacitate but don’t kill, they have no more choice in being here than you do, they’ve just been doing it longer” an open instruction not only for robin and sergei but also for any other combatants willing to listen, though he wasn’t holding his breath there were many of those present.

Side stepping swiftly from the path of a stray axe blow looking to slice him down the middle he spotted when the opportunity arose, swinging a heave counter strike with both hands to the side of the head of his assailant sending the man stumbling away before eyes whited over and he collapsed entirely. Flexing his aching fingers, limbs still constrained he made a decision, one that would take care of as many of his problems at once as was humanly possible, though perhaps not the most diplomatic method to do so, but hey look where they were sometimes you just had to make compromises.

Sprinting to the mob that had swarmed robin he led with a heavy front kick, slamming into the side of the nearest fighter and sending him crashing into the arena wall. His knee’s bent, ducking low beneath the sword that swung his way before springing upward and driving his head into the man’s chin. Twisting on the spot he let the head of a spear grind against the cuffs between his hands, sparks flying before deftly grabbing the shaft and yanking it towards him, finally driving an elbow into the man’s face that burst his nose with a crunch and had blood spilling forth. ” Sorry!!! My fault entirely, I got a little too carried away” tearing a scrap of cloth from the hem of his shirt and tossing it down to the man who clutched at his nose, genuinely apologetic. But there were still bigger concerns.

Going round to the dinosaurs end, he grabbed it’s tail in his bound hands before dragging it off of robin, steadily he slowly began to spin building up speed and rotation, the gigantic hunk of meat in his hands building up velocity as it spun with at rising pace. Men were battered into the stands as the huge beast swung like a giant club, kazki at the epicenter not letting it out of his grip for even a moment. ”CALM THE FUCK DOWN YOU BASTARDS!!” Blinking stunned at his own fowl language, giving a final roar before letting go and letting the creature fly into the mass of fighting bodies, crashing into them and sending those that it didn’t batter into the outer wall tumbling astray. He didn’t usually talk like that, but something about this place had brought it out of him, he’d not planned to say it but it had burst from his mouth like some sort of word vomit.

It wasn’t exactly a gentle path, but it would at least stop them killing each other for the moment, and while he might like to do better these goddamn cuffs were making that a long way from possible. The marine found himself doubled over in the aftermath of the effort, things that usually wouldn’t’ have taken too harsh a toll were today exhausting him. It was this god-forsaken seastone, it sapped him of his stamina, he was running towards empty at a terrifying pace and they weren’t nearly face enough through this butchery for that too happen. The three of them were the only thing between these prisoners and an utter massacre, he needed to get his shit together if he was going to be of any real use to them.

Robin stared in awe as Kazuki went from his normal peaceful and collected self into a berserker. It was a beautiful and poetic transformation that if he had any talent as an artist or poet would have made for something to be persevered for decades. A simple smile when Kazuki attacked the men grew into a full blown explosion of joy with his mouth open in amazement as his fellow marine grabbed the dinosaur by the tail and began to swing it around like a weapon to smash everyone aside. It definitely did get their attention along with his booming voice and they all stopped momentarily to listen to them. Even Robin whom was getting back up and patting down his clothes felt a bit impressed by Kazuki and wanted to see what the man would do now that he had gotten their attention. Robin made it a point to stand by the man's right hand side, showing that they were a team. "We aren't your enemies." He told the group of former marines and other prisoners "We don't wish to kill any of you. Don't you all desire freedom?"

Sergei stood his ground as all around him the battle raged on all around him, Marine killing Marine, not that he particularly cared about the death of other Marines one way or another. They chose to fight and kill each so he was under no obligation not to kill them. The Marine saw Kazuki's lips start moving, him saying something about incapacitating and not killing, before being interrupted by one of these feral Marines trying to take his head off with a rusty looking sword. Since these Marines would undoubtedly be made to fight more unless they all found a way to get out of here, there was no reason to keep them alive. Ducking under the sword, the inventor turned his shotgun around before ramming it into the man's jaw and knocking him back. While the doctor could pulled the trigger and blasted the other man's head off, he had a limited number of shotgun shells left and he was saving them for something special, who knew what else they would have to face. For now, he would have to use his own sword. Slinging the shotgun onto his back awkwardly, the marksman drew his sword.

It was about that time that he noticed Kazuki pick up the dinosaur that had pinned Robin and start swinging it in a circle before tossing it at a group of fighting Marines. Sergei was not entirely sure how tossing a multi-ton giant lizard at a group of people was not killing them, though it did a pretty good job at stopping them from any more fighting by being dead. But that was not his problem. Though it was certainly interesting to see such a display of strength from someone like Kazuki. Up till now, the inventor thought of him of a proficient enough fighter through sheer skill and use of his devil fruit powers but there was some brute force behind the man as well. That was interesting to know for the future, whatever it might be. Unfortunately, it appeared that Kazuki had passed the point of exhaustion with that last stunt. The doctor could not help but smirk at Robin's subsequent speech. Was the kid really that naive? For now, the marksman held his ground, not moving to join Robin and Kazuki. Maybe he really should have but for now he kept his distance.

”Your anger is misplaced, it is not the fault of anyone in this pit that you’re in your situation, nor do you need to kill them to win. If you let these conditions turn you into animals, it’s already over” tagging his words on to the end of robins own, though it seemed that for the most part things had somewhat settled though this was much to the crowds dismay. Boo’s hisses, cans and debris came flying down from the stands above, kazuki shielding himself some with an arm to avoid being caught in the line of fire too badly. But all this was brought to an abrupt and instantaneous end.

Light so bright it was almost blinding, the last thing kazuki was able to see before instinctively bringing his arms up to guard against it. The gauntlets that he bore upon them cracking as he was sent rocketing backward into the arena wall for the he didn’t even know how many it was now’th time. The sensation of warm liquid dribbling down the back of his skull enough to tell him the intensity of the impact. Opening his eyes to swimming vision he saw two halves of what had oh so recently been a t-rex splayed to either side and at their center walked a man with thick oily black hair and a look of madness In his eyes, upon his shoulders hung the mantle of the marines and in his hands a gladius in hand.

”inane words of a naieve mind. If this is the trash they’ve raised im almost glad the navy is behind me.” the man’s presence was palpable, the reaction from the crowd was enough to disperse any misconceptions as to his identity. Only a champion could draw such awed reverence. ”These sands call for blood, face me and we shall give the crowd the spectacle they so desire.” It was hard to believe this man had ever done anything but this, so well did he seem to fit his role here. His strength was beyond question, he wasn’t going to be an opponent that could be defeated with nice words and lofty ideals, but kazuki also felt as though he was the caliber of man that the marines could use so dearly. For them to be faced off like this, in such an ungodly situation, it was nothing but pitiable.

But mercy was a privilege of the strong, and no matter how great a benefit he thought him to be, kazuki couldn’t even say with certainty whether he or any one else scattered here was going to survive this so such aspiring desires were a ways beyond him for the moment. For now win, all he had to do was win, win and survive, the rest he could consider later. Slowly but steadily he dragged himself to his feet, working out the kinks in weary aching bones before taking on a combative stance, ready for the trial that came ahead. This would not be where he died!!

Charging in with wild abandon he threw his body down low, the blade of the sword that swung to meet him just skimming the top of his head before he sprung rising upward hammering into his foe with a swift series of punches as he did so.

Robin wasn't going to just sit back and let Kazuki hog all the fame here running forward in a quick sprint Robin pushed his legs to their fullest speed. He knew he was fast, very fast compared to most people he'd met and speed was critical in any fight with it often being the deciding factor. If he could get in a good crippling blow before this champion of the arena were able to react they could take him down without any casualties. Rushing behind Kazuki he had to watch however as Kazuki began to pummel the champion with a series of fast and furious blows that would have settled it for any other man. However the champion was quick to recover from the initial punches and swung his gladius in a diagonal wave that attempted to cleave Kazuki. More impressive even was that he had actually cut the air itself and somehow had whipped up a tornado of razor winds that charged ahead, cutting up everyone badly as it pulled them in then tossed them out. Robin had to quickly dive out of the way of the attack, thankful he hadn't been closer like Kazuki though he had no time to see if his partner was okay just yet.

Leaping up Robin darted ahead appearing directly in front of this gladiator whom was much stronger than the others and swung his leg yelling "Rankyaku!". Robin's leg was strong enough to cut the air as well, though it wasn't quite the same as his foe had. His was a single sharp blade that traveled out as far as the eye can see. Unfortunately the champion was no weakling or fool and reacted before he could be touched by the storm leg technique. Lifting his blade up the champion blocked the attack with his sword, though it pushed him back, his feet dug into the sand and he stood strong breaking the attack with sheer force. Robin's eyes widened in surprise, he'd never seen anyone do anything like that in his life and he now realized how deep up the shit river he'd traveled as he was still hanging in midair and a completely vulnerable target. "Untrained and untested. You aren't fit to fight for glory in this arena." Mimicing Robin's soru technique the man disappeared and quickly reappeared right in front of him but suddenly there was a massive pain in his stomach. Looking down he saw the butt of the gladius buried deep into his stomach which seemed to have caved inward from the blow. Dropping to the ground from a couple feet in the air, in pain, Robin clenched his stomach tightly while curling into a ball.

Pointing the tip of his sword at Sergei he called out to the marine "How about you? Are you as weak as this woman?" Looking down at Robin he made it clear whom he was talking about before swinging his sword to point at Kazuki. "He at least shows some potential as a warrior in this arena."

Sergei took the moment where nothing was happening to catch his breath, not that he was overly exerting himself but given that this was supposed to be a three stage fight and they were nearing the end of the second stage, if not done with it completely, he would need to be as rested as possible if he had any hope of surviving the third and final stage against the champion, who was a former Marine. The inventor instinctively shielded his eyes as a bright light suddenly appeared, blasting through the dead dinosaur before hitting Kazuki straight on, sending him flying through the air and into the opposite wall of the arena. As the spots cleared from his eyes, the doctor saw their final opponent, Marine coat clad monster with black oily hair and a look of madness in his eyes, with a sword that looked to be in a much better shape than the other weapons in the arena. So much for it being a fair fight, not that he had expected this to be anything more than a slaughter of Marines for the viewing pleasure of the pirate filth. Backing away from the man very quickly, the marksman debated whether or not he should rush in like a fool. Fortunately, he did not have to make that decision.

Sergei watched as both Kazuki and Robin both attack the champion with a variety of attacks before being rebuffed quite easily. Watching the display of attacks, including some that he could not follow with his eyes, made the Marine realize just how out of his league he was. Here were enemies that were throwing around light and razor sharp tornadoes and here he was with a shotgun and a sword. Hell, he didn't even have his special bullets. Sure he had his logia and he was able to use it but what could he do against someone like that? Chances were that that sword had seastone or something to counter his powers. Plus he was trying not to use his powers for as long as possible though it was looking more and more likely that he would need to use them before the end. And then the champion turned to face him, saying something about being as weak as Robin or having a potential like Kazuki. If the man was able to easily block Robin's leg shockwave attack, chances were that he would be able to block the dinky shotgun as well.

But he was not going to go down without a fight. Pointing the shotgun at the champion, the doctor squeezed the trigger several times, each time the gun belching out fire and metal pellets in the man's general direction. As he did so, the marksman prepared his body to turn into a pool of tar if his opponent decided to attack him in the chest or head area.
