Oceans of Conflict (FuriousLoverXD)

Said rat would let out a whine as it woke up spinning before it was turned into a bola and slammed into a big rat turning into giblets against its thicker armored body. One with drill like fists came swinging at him trying to puncture his hide.
 
Aether looked at the rat trying to run after him, using his tail he'd lift the cart for safety as he immediately dead stopped and let the drill rat get ahead of him before he'd bite the arm. He was going to teach the rat that fucking lead to finding out before he resumed his run.
 
Not being super bright the sudden stop sent him stumbling ahead and made him easy to fling into some other rats ahead of him. He'd also get more attention as more rats at the back were noticing him making a ruckus. Several dozen more units and large rats were taking notice and starting to turn towards him instead of rushing to the front.
 
Aether kept going as he charged ahead. He'd be preparing himself and attempt to use haki to repel the lesser units that got closer to him in the meantime. He was not one to go down easily, unless there was a woman involved. Regardless he'd keep charging towards the city with everything he had there. He was trying to clear a line straight through.
 
As he kept charging on occasion he'd see a laser go flying past him to strike near a cluster of enemies. Or someone explode from a cannon, sniper round, fire ball, or hear a sound burst that left other rats and monsters dead or crippled. The ones following him were adding to the body count. However he'd be able to spot Sabira over a mile away now in her massive zoan form turn towards the rippling earth. Even from this distance he'd be able to feel the distant shudder of the ground, hear the rumble and see a massive crocodile like creature that was simply ignoring the laving clinging to it's haki coated form leap from the ground.

His zoan would recognize the ancient predator of the dinosaurs. A Sarcosuchus crocodillian fruit which had been eaten by the gladiator slave known ironically as Imperator worth six hundred and seventy five million slamming into Sabira. The collision of the two would cause a rent in the earth dozens of meters around them as spews of lava flew up into the sky and their roars drowned out the sounds of war for several moments as most everyone paused to watch for a moment as a kaijuu battle broke out giving them several precious moments to get even further.

Imperator
 
Aether kept going before glancing back as he saw what was happening. He understood finally what Sabira meant by the creature as the Sarcosuchus was a predator of ancient times. "If you got bullets and weapons start shooting, no forget it, just hold onto something and put your heads down. That's an order.." He told them as he used his tail and lifted the cart pulling closer to his spines so his tail could lift up and cover the top of the cart. With this in mind he'd start to use a combination of geppo and a lesser soru to start move just off the ground at faster speeds.
 
"Eeeeee." Came Dina's response as she was holding on. The only person who could keep up speed wise with him seemed to be Melody since she was a sound based weapons user. Everyone else had to hang on for dear life to the cart. Now with the distraction from Sabira they'd get into the mid point of the battle where cross fire was really flying. Berry's dolls were holding up metal shields to add to the cover of the wagon and bullets were pinging off the metal and the wagons as things became more chaotic.
 
Aether nodded. "Sorry, sorry." He told them and then began to adjust himself as he had them support each other. "Sit on a metal sheet we're going into the air and avoiding this." With his tail holding them up he'd use geppo on it's own and climb into the sky trying to get up and over the fight.
 
"I think going airborne will make you a bigger target!" Melody called from down below having been running along dipping and dodging. She was easy enough to miss since she wasn't a giant monster on the battlefield and now there was a dinosaur flying through the air dragging a cart. This caused all kinds of guns to focus fire on him and the others now cowering in the cart trying to remain hidden.
 
Aether wasn't too far off the ground when Melody said it. "I was almost thinking getting above the bullets range would have worked." He considered as he went back down and continued to charge again. He'd roar out and attempt to conqueror's knock down some of them.
 
With flying monsters, snipers, high powered weapons, and weirdos with strange techniques it was hard to get above the battlefield as a whole. Getting back down he was able to ko some squads of rats and normal pirates numbering about sixty per squad in a trench. Once landed they'd feel another tremor as Sabira and Imperator slammed into the ground tumbling across the battlefield causing lava to burst up through fissures in the ground from the seismic force their battle was kicking up.
 
Glancing back he'd see the battlefield getting worse. "Well at least she's making it harder for them to cross the fissures." He considered and goomba stomped a rat group before continuing on his way, with them on the ground his tail was now being used to beat motherfuckers left and right.
 
"Sweet sweet land." He'd hear Dina groan then vomit a moment later after landing. He had two pregnant women in the cart he was high speed hauling through the air. Though his wyvern trainee seemed to be a bit more adjusted to this and was having fun breathing out fire from her side of the cart onto rats burning them. "How happy are your Marines gonna be to see us?" Berri asked from the cart with enthusiasm so it was hard to tell if she was joking or not.
 
"Sorry about all that." Aether told them as he continued to ride through smashing through with his head and jaw along with his tail. "They won't be surprised." He stated. "They'll honestly think I'm sick cause I didn't come back with more." He remarked simply.
 
"Ah so they won't try to kill us?" Baccarat asked from the back having handed Dina a spare bag to puke in. "I figured they'd want the majority of us dead on sight just so they can have some more victories to have on their news articles considering well." He could merely imagine her motioning to the hellscape of a battle ground.
 
Aether looked at the woman. "Nah, at this point there is enough bounties on my crew to rival a Yonko's Commander." He explained to the woman and then continued to charge there as they pressed on.
 
"Seems suspect to me, but whatever. I think this is a problem enough for them now." Baccarat said as more explosions echoed across the battlefield and he'd likely have to swerve to avoid the debris kicked up by Sabira and Imperator cratering each other across the battlefield. Ahead of Aether and the others were six of the sea scorpions with dozens of the enhanced rats and other fire teams lobbing explosives at the walls of the city. Or entrenched marine positions in front of the city trying to break through. Though several with gatling cannons were turning to face him and the others.
 
"It makes more sense when you see the ship." He told Baccarat as he continued running with them there and dodged the debris getting just off the ground by half a foot to avoid the issues of the battle. As they continued running he'd see the fire teams attacking the famed walls of the city. Aether took a deep breath and then roared out forward hard enough to cause wind pressure on the gatling cannons as they turned around.
 
"I'm picturing a sex dungeon style ship." She said before he roared. The big rats didn't get knocked back, but there aim was a bit off. That being said gatling guns are part of the spray and pray style of fighting. So he'd be hard pressed to dodge the spray of bullets while keeping the womb wagon safe from getting shot to shit.
 
"Nah it's a real Marine ship." He rolled his eyes and then kept going as he saw he'd have to find the spray of bullets. Pushing himself with tekkai and focused haki he'd unlatch himself from the cart and then whip his tail as hard as he could and smashed them while using his body to block the cart.
 
He'd be getting some help from the ladies as he unlatched himself to block the bullets. Malo had given the trainees some explosives to lob over him into the ranks of the rats. Banou would put up a wall tattoo to block some of the bullets for a time. It was crumbling quickly though under the fire power as across the field of battle a plume of lava went up as the ground shook from the two monsters fighting and creating more seismic activity.
 
Aether looked at the women and then shielded them with his body from the guns. His physical frame since he assumed they were gun fixed in place. He'd then bite into the rocks and spit them as hard as he could using wind pressure to return fire on the emplacements.
 
"Wow. I'm glad we had a pirate therapist." Fredrika said calmly from the cart not shooting or doing anything. "It's kinda close to the great escape. Minus various trap walls with the built in gun placements and trained gladiatorial beasts after us. Plus all the soldiers." She commented only heard due to his proximity and his enhanced hearing. Thanks to said hearing he'd hear the whistle of falling mortar shells over the steady sound of gatling fire that kept going even as the rocks damaged the big rat brutes.
 
Aether looked at the woman and then glanced back as he was still in zoan form. "Something like that yes." He remarked simply as he looked at the women and then continued as he heard it. He'd throw rocks from the ground with his tail at the gatling fire to smash them with it. But it didn't end there instead he'd smash the ground to make a barrier with stones. It would give him time to blast the shells in the air with his tail's air pressure.
 
"Oh look there are the high explosives." Rydia said breathing fire up to explode the bombs prematurely. Combining with his air blasts the flames expanded in a nice combo to knock the attacks aside. "Can we make that wall before some more heavy hitters focus us?" Melody asked beside the cart deflecting stray bullets with her blade.
