Tsai frowned the Ryuske dodged his attack, he could have sworn with the angle of the technique and their close proximity, it would’ve been hard to evade. Anyone else would’ve just blocked the attack; however the man simply dodged a devil fruit ability, it was enough to make the vagabond pirate annoyed but nothing more.

Tsai’s plan to unarm the man of his Scythe had worked, so his lucky sidestep meant nothing. Tsai would then ready himself for a following attack, he wasn’t sure how the man fought but he had a feeling there was more to him than meets the eye. Before Ryuske could even get close to Tsai, Ratchet’s weird pet would intervene. The dog or something had only stopped their subordinates attack, with Rat following suit by using a whip to pull a bottle of booze from the hole Tsai had made earlier.

Believe it or not, Tsai hadn’t noticed it until now. The area they were in had been gradually heating up, by the time he had noticed, his captain had already made his way into the bar. In fact, the bottle Rat had taken from the bar was the one Captain Allen had in his hands. It seemed that the first battle would truly begin. After being stopped by Fetty, Ryuske who had been still in the bar, but in front of the hole created by Tsai turned to the new comer, the Captain of the Vagabond pirates. He did so, while telling the fodder marines to not let them escape.

Currently, Tsai and the other marines, Rachet and Fetty were right outside the bar also near the hole, but past the threshold of the bar itself. It seemed fate had decided the opponents for both the Marines and the Vagabonds. Without so much as a warning, other Marines would join in. Some would move in for close combat, while the others would stay back and form a firing range. Tsai could feel heat coming from the hole, there was no doubt in his mind that Captain Ollie had arrived, and he would probably scold Tsai for not realizing it earlier leaving Tsai to deny all allegations. “ You guys haven’t learned anything yet have you? There’s always a Vagabond right behind one another ” Tsai said as the mooks attacked.

The first was the close-combat types, Tsai waited for them to get closer before engaging them in battle. The boy was trained on karate island, and had come experience behind his belt when it came to fighting; however his devil fruit abilities were far beyond that of his martial arts at the moment. Instead, he would make use of his merchant’s eye abilities, to figure out what attack to evade and what attack to block. Those that would be stronger, he would try to evade, those that he could evade he would try to block. The first two marines to attack held bladed weapons, one a sword the other an axe. “I will have this place” Tsai said, his jolly voice betraying the seriousness of his words. As the two attacked, Tsai made sure to evade the Axe, side stepping then giving a palm thrust to the man’s face “ Paw Paw Palm CANNON” Tsai said as he released a burst of condensed air in the shape of a paw print, that increased the force behind his palm thrust. The technique forced the man into the Bar, creating yet another hole within its walls.

He would then block the man with the sword with his forearms, the blade cutting deep within his flesh, however not deep enough to cut muscle or hit the bone. He winced at the pain before kicking the man off with a large “Big Boot” type kick. “Shurorororo…. That HURT” Tsai said laughing before turning to Rat and her cronies “ I won’t be leaving here until I get my BAR!!” Tsai exclaimed, half hoping they’d just let him have the bar. He knew that he had to take one of the hits or use his speed enhancing technique; however he only had limited uses before he would become tired. Tsai decided to take the damage head on and use his speed boost as a backup for when the real fight began.
