~Grand Line~
~Alabasta~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Renz was eating at one of the restaurant in Alabasta there is still an hour before the sun set. Renz just explore the city of Alubarna stealthily we're a lot of people was making a riot "King Nefetari is a Traitor!" some are throwing rocks, lots of soldiers in the kingdom was stopping them from entering.
"This!, It must be Crocodile's doing making me look like the traitor while he become the Hero in the eyes of the people" King Cobra said as he slapped the table.
"King Cobra, we must stop this at all cost, we should call the World Government for assistance" one of the subject said.
"We already did that but they don't seem to give a response on this matter!" King Cobra said.
Renz on the other hand just observed the scene happening in Alubarna and then went to find the location of the hidden base Crocodile was hiding.
Renz arrive at one of the area full of sands no signs of water and even the trees has withered and found a door that leads to an underground basement. Renz suspect that it must be where Crocodile was hiding. He then saw one of the Baroque Works agents known as Mr. 1 aka Daz Bones. This just confirms the suspicion of Renz. Then soon followed Mr. 2, Mr. 3, Mr. 4, Mr. 5, Miss Doublefinger and Miss Valentine. Crocodiles top Agents and combatant.
The sun finally sets and Renz quickly came back to the meet up place. Renz saw that his crewmates where all waiting for him and landed on their spot.
"It seems I'm late. I've found the base of our enemy we will be soon fighting an enemy so get yourselves ready" Renz said to his crew.
"Haiii Captain!" (6x)
~Meanwhile at Crocodile basement~
"BOSS!" Baroque agents said in unison.
"Okay sit down, we have something to do" Crocodile said "You can report now Miss All Sunday"
~Robin was reporting what the information she gathered about the Night Howler Pirates~
"Night Howler Pirates has a seven members including their Captain three women and four men. Their strength was unknown, based on their appearances and weapon they had, Ronald was a swordsman, Brook the skeleton was also a swordsman and Van Augur was a sniper, the rest of the girls seems to be just your normal girl you will see, though I found out that Perona was one of the elite member of Gecko Moria, but the Captain which is Black Hands Renz has shown his strength to his first appearance and fight in Thriller Bark where he defeated one of the Shichibukai Gecko Moria" Robin reported.
"You all heard that, we have an enemy that we don't know the whole strength but based on the report we only need to take care of their Captain which will be taken care by me and the rest should prioritize on fighting the three men of the Night Howler Pirates, Okay continue Miss All Sunday" Crocodile said as he puff a smoke of his cigar.
"As Boss said he will take care of the Captain of Night Howlers, while Mr. 1 is to be expected to fight Ronald, Mr. 2 and 3 will fight Brook the skeleton and Mr. 4 will take care of the Sniper Van Augur the rest will take fight the girls and also will assist in fight, Mr. 5, Miss doublefiger and Miss Valentine will fight each of the girls" Robin said.
~Back at Night Howlers Crew~
"It seems that Baroque Works are planning to have a confrontation against us. They called their Officer Agents meaning it won't be long before we fight, so I won't you all to be in condition, I prepare an information about all of them" Renz said the information about the Baroque Work Agents was stolen by him when they were invited to Robin's Office.
Each of the crew took the information and read them as they started to learn about their incoming opponent.
Renz and his crew didn't make any noticeable move as they just take a rest for the night in the hotel. The night has came and Renz noticed a lot of auras outside the hotel that surrounds it, Renz knew already that it was Crocodile scheme but he already suspected that they will be attacked, so he informed his crewmates about this and none of them sleep and stayed alert through the night.
Renz used Haoshoku Haki that makes all the auras instantly faded, the new members felt the willpowered release even though they knew of this Haki and its not directed to them, they were taken aback by the sudden pressure.
"Yosh, Let's go! Time to start our party!" Renz lead the way outside while the others just nodded and followed suit.
Renz and the rest went to the basement of Crocodile but was instead bumped into a lot of Crocodile subordinates. They started firing toward Renz and his crew direction" BANG! BANG!" bullets were raining towards them as Ronald and Brook just deflected each of the bullets coming their way while Van Augur was shooting at them, every shot was a headshot or heartshot that instantly killed them without wasting any bullets, one shot, one kill. The waves of bullets stopped as all of them reloaded their guns. Ronald and Brook took this opportunity to attack.
Ronald hold his new sword, he was eager to try it, now he has the opportunity to do so. So he used his new learned skill "One swordstyle: Taigakuro!" five arc shaped projectiles in a length of 50 meters each was released towards the Baroque Work Agents instantly reducing them to half.
Brook on the other hand use his sword new learned sword skill "Kogoeru Ken" his cane sword turned into ice due to having his soul flow through the sword, this was taught to him by Renz, though it was originally his own swordskill from anime but Renz thought that makong him learned this will make him a lot stronger and will accelerate his understanding of his own devil fruit.
"Koegoru Ken:Release!" Brook shouted as a blue arc shaped projectile was launched towards the half agents instantly making them freeze and fell to the ground.
Van Augur just shot the remaining Agents leaving none of the Baroque Work Agents alive. Now they only need to take care of the Officer Agents and Mr. 0 the Mastermind of this Operation Utopia.
Renz and his crew continued. "Sand Tornado!" a voice was heard as Renz and the crew meet a two huge sand tornadoes going towards them.
Ronald and Brook just used their previous shown sword skill "Taigakuro!" "Kogoeru Ken:Release!" and launched it towards the two sand tornado making it vanish while Brook froze it, making it stop on its track and scattered on the ground.
"Bravo! HAHAHAHA I didn't think that the Night Howler Pirates have such a strong crew members" It was Crocodile who came at the scene as he smoke.
Suddenly a bullet shot at Crocodile in the head that penetrated his head as sand can be seen flowing to the hole and sealed it like nothing happened, there was no sign of scar or blood flowing, everything went back ot its normal appearance as it was before it was shot.
"HAHHAHA, I'm dead!" Crocodile said in arrogant tone.
Van Augur knew already that his shot would only pass through but he just wants to see the power of logia nothing more. Renz just chuckled because of how arrogant he became, he thought that Renz and the others was shock at his power but he didn't know that Renz and the others knew of this already and nothing surprising.
"I'm not the same as that weak bat you fought before Black Hands Renz. If you think you will be able to do it and leave unscathed then you're wrong as this is where you are going to be buried" Crocodile said as Daz Bones, Mr. 2 and 3 attack Ronald and Brook who have seen this coming already and they easily deflected the attack. Ronald felt the attack was strong but ut is weaker than him, the same as Brook though, he was a little bit weaker than Ronald but he is quite strong compared to Mr. 2 and 3 that's why he didn't struggle facing the attacks.
