The Sea Nobles are a group of fierce pirates that joined the world government's service. The Sea Nobles' main objective is to put pirates in conflict with other pirates. They are also a powerful representation of the power of the government. Every member's bounty got suspended in exchange for their allegiance with the world government, and they were given far more latitude to commit crimes.
The Sea Nobles, who serve the World Government, are frequently regarded by the marines as being no different from any other pirate, despite the fact that they generally have no respect for the world government or even the other Nobles. On the other hand, they are seen negatively by other pirates and are widely regarded as "government proteges," but they are nonetheless feared and revered for the infamous reputation and strength they built up before and even after they became Sea Nobles.
Their names are unambiguous. The world government wants them to be noble, hence the moniker "Sea Nobles."
There are six "Sea Nobility" pirates ranged throughout the entire Vast Expanse.
Bow noticed Blythe's palm pointing upward.
It was surrounded by a bloody liquid that kept wrapping itself around his palm in an odd manifestation.
"I can't believe they'd position one of the Sea Nobles as their first line of defense. They're considered one of the strongest pirates across the Vast Expanse." Believed Kira, keeping her thoughts at stress. "The Sea Nobles' job is to assist the world government, and Blythe is one of those Nobles, willing to help them anytime, anywhere. But for them to actually call upon him for this execution is not what I expected." Added Luca, holding his katana.
While focusing on them, Bruno tensed his gaze. "The world government is willing to go to such lengths as to enlist the most deadly Nobles to fight on their behalf since they want Chiaki dead. The Yasuda family's most recent attempt to interrupt the war between the world government and the pirates was sufficient to compel the world government and the agencies to act and document the death of the last member." Bruno spoke while remaining motionless. "Whether Chiaki lives or not is in their hands. All we can do is make an effort to avoid that."
Blythe's silence didn't help in any way. Bow and others couldn't communicate with him, which resulted in them barely knowing how to proceed.
"Sea Noble Blythe is rather shy. Nonetheless, his strength is immeasurable." While standing by Blythe's side, the woman laughed. "He can behave violently if necessary.". She spoke while donning damaged clothing. Her body was very large and robust, but her mouth showed a set of pointed teeth with tusks on either side of her head. She supported the weight of the enormous club she was holding in her arms with her shoulders.
Bruno and his allies looked at each other, then saw the man in a tuxedo fixing his tie. "Now, now, Adhita. Don't get too ahead of yourself. We have yet to see our "friendly" Sea Noble in action. What he showcased to us was merely for amusement." His name was Maxim. He was an elegant man with a mustache and very short hair.
"Bow!" A female's voice waved behind Bow's ears. He turned behind him and looked at her in surprise. "It's Yumiko and the rest of Timothy's crew. I thought they disbanded the crew." Bow added, confused. "Eek! It's that sexy girl! What's her name? Ayuka!" Kira yelled, her eyes gleaming with excitement. She waved at her, stepped on her toes, and flapped her fingers.
"I don't think they disbanded, Bow. I'm pretty sure they intended to regroup in the future. But it seems they regrouped sooner to save Chiaki together." Explained Bruno, looking him in the eyes.
"Maxim, look at that. I guess the white-haired pirates actually spread a lie. But, oh well, more targets to release my anger on." Adhita exclaimed while displaying a vile smirk. "I've already said it, Adhita. Be composed. Additionally, avoid assuming too much. These pirates are highly competent. Strong pirates like Muro and Niklas were among the many they routed. They are considered a potential threat by the world government. At la Isleta Cortada, they even overcame Snoobs and Gootsy. At least their captain did."
"Who cares! Let's shoot them down, Maxim!" Adhita grabbed her club and stepped forward. "Very well, Adhita," Maxim claimed and stepped to the side. He reached inside his tuxedo and dragged out a gold coin. It was the same size as a cannonball.
After enough separation, he turned around. With a quick snap of his fingers, he doubled his one coin into thousands, which fell to the ground. "Cannonballs weigh less than these coins. They are created from the toughest metal. In a matter of seconds, it will destroy that ship." He adjusted his tuxedo before taking a breath.
"Yeah, yeah. Hurl those coins over here so I can blow that ship to bits." Finally, Maxim grabbed a coin, drawing everyone's attention. "Get down!" shouted Bow and dropped to the ground, followed by everyone else.
Maxim started throwing coins at Adhita at a high rate of speed. "Here they come!" She took a backward step, swung her club at the oncoming coins, and whacked them, sending them flying through the air. She knocked coins through the air repeatedly and didn't stop.
Ayuka's eyes opened as she noticed the coins flying at their ship. "Move out of the way!" Ayuka ran, passed Kou, and dashed up to the forecastle.
She raised her arms above her waist and lowered them. She raised a tidal wave of water that heightened into the air and instantly turned to ice.
She used the ice wall to stop the coins from whizzing by, but as more coins plowed into it, the ice wall began to fracture. The ice wall shattered, but the subsequent coin swarm was already inching closer to destroy their ship.
Yumiko charged at the coins with her swords dragged behind. She hastily began slashing through the coins at high speed. She cut them in half before flinging them aside.
Some of the coins dropped into the sea around their ship.
Ralphie pulled his leg behind him and soared high into the air before kicking. He was able to redirect some of the coins back to the shore and others in various directions.
Adhita's eyes widened as the coins began pelting them from above and began to fall to the ground. The ground underneath them split under their weight, scattering dust around them.
Yumiko moved forward and swung her sword above her head before slamming it into the coin. One of the pennies she misdirected landed in the stack in front of Maxim, where it immediately bounced and knocked the other coins around.
Ralphie dropped down onto the ship, fixed his sleeves, and shook his leg.
Kyora looked at Kou in confusion. "Are his bones made out of steel?" she asked, pointing her finger at Ralphie. Kou shrugged his shoulders, "Dunno..." and then noticed Ralphie spin around, holding his palms together.
He danced his way in front of Kyora and leaned his head closer. His eyes were pink hearts. "Impressed, Kyora-princess?" Kyora slightly leaned her torso back, confused. Her face dripped down a bit of sweat as she blinked.
"Curse it! That hurt!" Adhita growled angrily as she swung her club through the dust. She raised her club upwards and let out a constant stream of purple electricity that zapped around.
Both Kou's physique and his hoodie bounced. He instantly extended his arms and legs and radiated mint vitality throughout his body.
As he stretched his leg behind, his eyes beamed a vivid green color.
Adhita swung her club like a bat and discharged a purple bolt of energy that zipped at their ship from a distance.
Kou surged through the air, leaving a path of mint energy. He pulled his arm behind and diagonally swiped the air in front of him using all his speed and force.
His cleaving mint energy got released. It slammed into the bolt after flying through the air quickly. The two strikes collided, exploding and zapping electrical currents.
"Nailed it!" Kou called, grinning, but he didn't even realize he was still in the air. He yelled, wrenched his limbs around, and fell to the deck, hitting his behind. "O-Ouch! I should have paid closer attention!"
He rubbed his behind and got to his feet. "Looks like we're in the clear." Knowing that their ship would soon be prepared to dock, Ayuka explained.
Bow and the others stood back up. "Now we're talking! We've got some backup!" Bow smiled and waited for them to arrive.
