Chapter 5 - The Clash at Kubami Island

As the Crimson Leviathan anchored near Kubami Island's shore, the local populace, catching sight of Sol's infamous flag fluttering in the wind, sounded the alarm. Panic spread like wildfire through the streets as people rushed to evacuate. Among them was a small boy, his voice shrill with fear, racing through the alleyways, warning of the impending danger.

"Pirates! Pirates are coming!" he cried, his voice echoing off the walls.

Amidst the chaos, Admiral Makima, clad in her formidable naval uniform, moved swiftly through the bustling streets. In a twist of fate, she collided with the young boy. A genuine smile graced her lips as she gently inquired, "Are you okay, young one?"

The boy, frozen in terror, scrambled to his feet without a word and continued his frantic sprint, the warning chant still on his lips. "Pirates! Pirates are coming!"

Makima's expression shifted subtly as she straightened herself. Gripping the sheathed sword at her side, her eyes glinted with a determined resolve. With a single, deliberate breath, she crouched low, one leg poised behind her, muscles coiled like a spring ready to release its tension.

Then, in an explosive burst of speed that defied the limits of human capability, Makima propelled herself forward. The air crackled around her, and in the blink of an eye, she traversed the distance between the bustling streets and the anchored ship of Sol, the Crimson Leviathan.

Sol, issuing orders to his men with his characteristic nonchalance, barely had time to register the sudden shift in the atmosphere. In the span of a heartbeat, Admiral Makima materialized before him, her sword unsheathed and poised perilously close to his neck.

"You!" Makima's voice sliced through the air, charged with a frenzied bloodlust that bordered on madness. Her eyes gleamed with an otherworldly intensity as she declared, "I, Admiral Makima of the Royal Navy, shall deliver punishment upon you, Sol!"

Sol, renowned for his unyielding resolve and steely demeanor, met her gaze with an unwavering calmness. Despite the imminent threat, his expression remained unfazed, an inscrutable mask veiling his thoughts.

The clash of these formidable figures, one exuding a furious determination and the other emanating an eerie serenity, hung in the air like a suspended storm on the verge of unleashing its full fury. The tension crackled, and Kubami Island held its breath as the fate of these titans teetered on the brink of an inevitable collision.

Makima's lightning-like speed, defying human limitations, stunned the onlookers, leaving them in awe and trepidation. The stage was set for a showdown that would echo through the annals of pirate lore and naval history, a clash between two forces propelled by unyielding wills and untamed desires.
