Third Person (Three Hours Later)

     "Nitoryu: Shishi Suto!" Yue intercepts Hawkeye's twentieth swinging attack by using a powerful horizontal swing of her own with an aura of a roaring lion right behind her. The sword fighting duo keep their swords locked for a few brief moments before they take a leap back from each other. For three hours the warlord and the Carnivorious Zoan have been fighting, yet neither has landed a hit on the other. Though he can keep up with his eyesight, Hawkeye can admit that his offense is no match for Yue's speed, but the young swordswoman has still sometime to go on her offense, for the warlord can easily sense her attacks coming. Aside to what Yue needs to work on, she can become a rival to replace Shanks since the Yonko lost his arm.

     However, as the duo continues to fight, one of the members of the Heart Pirates that had guard duty of the submarine rushes towards the captain, who decided to sit with the Yonko Shanks. Once the dark surgeon's attention is from the intense duel to the subordinate, he gets a message that causes him to have a dark look on his face.

    "Something wrong?" the red head asks.

    "Is there a possibility for Yue-ya and Hawkeye to continue the duel elsewhere?" Law asks. "I got word that some bounty hunters are here with some Marines."

    "I'm afraid that won't work," Shanks says with a grim look. "Once Hawkeye's in a duel, he won't get out of it."

   "Law!" Yue hollers at the captain, for thanks to her sensitive hearing she heard the news. "If you need to go, just go! I got your vivre card, so I can catch up when I get done here!"

    "There's no way--"

     "I know I'm not the captain, but you have to go! I promise that I'll find you as soon as I can!" Yue ducks as the warlord swings once more. However, just as she goes back to fighting, another crew member runs out of the forest and towards the surgeon.

     "We need to leave right now Captain!" he exclaims after getting his breath back from running so hard. "Another Shichibukai is here, and it's Bartholomew Kuma!" However, the subordinate arrived too late, for just as he finished his warning, a beam shoots through the trees and would've hit Shanks and the Heart Pirates if it weren't for Law's "Room" teleporting them away from where they were at seconds before.

Yue

    "Marines are here!" Penguin exclaims. "And Kizaru's right behind them!"

    "Damn it!" I growled through gritted teeth. First the news of Kuma, and now Kizaru? Of all the days of my life, why did the soldiers of the World Government have to ruin my birthday!?

   "Ooooh, so you're Kitora, huh?" Then all of sudden, before I knew it, a bright light appears before a kick to my back sends me flying to the same tree I was in before I started my duel against Hawkeye. I spat up blood when my head hits the hard wood. My head begins to throb painfully as Law tries to get to me only to be stopped by. . . . Tyrell? That's when I realized in horror that the cook was a Marine imposter the moment he tears off his Heart Pirate jacket off and uses his saber to slash it to pieces.

      "Yue!" I groggily turn to see the real Tyrell, who looks like he was ambushed, rushing towards me. However, my eyesight clears up to see that Hawkeye's right behind him with his sword ready to cut my crewmate down.

    Oh, screw this duel! I mentally exclaim. He's doing it to protect the warlord title!

Penguin

    "Tyrell, look--" Before I could warn our cook, Yue does something in a blur that would be devastating to all of those who are a friend to the teen.

Swoosh! SLASH! Thud!

   "YUEEEE!" the captain yells the moment the voilet haired girl hits the ground. What she had done was get in between Tyrell and Hawkeye at the last minute, causing the warlord to slash at her back. Now the teen's shirt is going from blue to a dark red as her injury bleeds severely.  However, the teen picks herself up, painfully growling as she activates her hybrid form before going to her demon form.

   "Listen to me, and listen well, Hawkeye,"  Yue growls again when she's on her feet, the demonic voice freezing everyone in place, including the Yonko Shanks. "I may have shamed myself as a swordswoman, but that doesn't mean I follow the code of swordsmanship. The reason, is because I am willing to give up the ways of the sword in order to protect my friends. So you can challenge me, fight me, and slice me to ribbons all you want, but remember this: I will never, EVER, forgive those who threaten, hurt, or kill my family, friends, and nakama." With the words she spoke, Yue disappears in the same way during the fight in the storm, only to appear in front of the marine that impersonated Tyrell. 

      "As for you,  don't ever pretend to be someone else again, regardless if you have orders to do so!" the demonic tigress snarls before performing an attack that sends the traumatized imposter flying into a small group of Marines with two parallel slashes going from the right shoulder to the middle of his stomach.

    "Now that's a scary form you took," Kizaru observes before trying to attack the teen. However, at the last minute, Yue intercepts the attack just by crossing her katana in front of her.

    "Thanks, I'll take that as a compliment,"  Yue shoves off the admiral with a fanged grin that sends shivers down my spine. Now I can't tell who to be afraid of now: Either the captain, the Yonko Shanks, or Kitora Yue.  

Yue

     "Kuma's here!" someone exclaims. Then on cue, white paw like spheres come out of nowhere, mainly coming towards my direction. While Kizaru gets out of the way using his light abilities, I deflect a majority of the spheres with my back screaming out in pain.

     We got to get out of here, I mentally say after the volley of spheres cease. I don't have much time in this form with my back like this.

     "Kitora Mikami D. Yue, bounty twenty million bellis," a calm voice says. I whirl around to see the giant warlord with his blank expression.

    "How did you get here so fast?!" I asked in shock, my form starting to fade and the back pain increasing.

    "If you want to go on a vacation, where would you go?" Kuma asks instead of answering. He then removes a glove to reveal a padded hand, which is a important detail to his Devil Fruit that I heard of.

    "Yue, nigeru!" Law yells. My instinct starts to scream at me to obey my captain, but the pain in my back forces me to stay in place. That's when I realized that Kuma intended to shoot those paw spheres at me in order for me not to move due to my back. So now I'm left with no choice but to be sent to wherever the warlord has in mind.

    "Law," I sadly smile, my hybrid form disappearing completely, making me human again. "I'm really sorry. But whatever you do, wait for me to call." With that I close my eyes and brace myself the moment Kuma swings the pawed hand at me.

Shanks

The moment Kuma makes contact with Yue, she vanishes completely, causing Trafalgar to howl in rage. But I managed to get my arm around the surgeon to restrain him before he tried to go after the warlord.

    "Trafalgar, listen to me!" I try to calm him down. "I know what you're feeling about losing Yue, but going after Kuma's not going to bring her back!" That's when the polar bear  from his crew gets Trafalgar in his grasp from mine.

    "Brace yourselves," I told the duo before releasing a wave of Conqueror's Haki to end the fight between the Marines and the Heart Pirates. Those who couldn't stand against the wave instantly passed out. Eventually, the only people that were still standing were the two Shichibukai, Kizaru and a few of his men, and a few of Trafalgar's crew members along with the captain.

    "This is absolute nonsense, Kizaru," I glare at the Yellow Monkey. "Sending in not only an undercover spy, but also an ambush to capture the Heart Pirates when they weren't doing anything but watching their crewmate fight a warlord? Even you should know better than to do that!"

    "Hey, I'm only following orders to capture only Kitora," Kizaru defensively holds his hands up. "After all, the Neko Neko No Mi: Model Tiger is supposed to turn the user into an orange tiger, not a blue one. Therefore, Mikami's a suspect of her abilities becoming part of that one Trinity legend."

    "I don't care about that right now!" I exclaimed. "Either take your men and leave, or else I'll give you a REAL reason to fight!" To make my point across, I whip out my saber and point it at the admiral.

    "Alright, alright," Kizaru backs away, "I'll listen to you. Let's go." With that, the admiral walks away while being followed by Marines carrying each other in a rush right along with Kuma walking calmly behind them.

    "Damn it," I turn around to see Trafalgar on his hands and knees. "I should've done something to stop him. . . Why? Why Yue? She just turned sixteen today. . . . "

     "Captain," the red head of the surgeon's crew speaks up. "There's a chance of Yue calling us. I mean, all we have to do is wait for three days and see if she calls us on the Den Den Mushi."

   "Shachi," Trafalgar rises to his feet with a menacing glare. "It's also a chance of Yue dying of blood loss during that three day flight. So don't go and--"

    "Calm yourself, Trafalgar," everyone turns to see Hawkeye with his hat shadowing his eyes. "Mikami won't die. She has too strong of a will to die that easy. Also I too held back at the last minute before she used herself as a shield to protect your cook."

    "What exactly makes you say that?!" the surgeon snarls, his grip on his sword tightens enough to make his knuckles white.

    "I completely understand her motives and her small speech," the warlord calmly replies. "Also I know a strong willed warrior when I see one. So my advice to you, is to listen to your nakama and wait for her to call you. She may have severe injuries, but she will survive." And with that, the warlord takes his leave.

    "Yue. . . " the cook wipes his face off from the tears. "Wherever you're going now, thank you. I won't forget on what you just for the rest of us. For if it weren't for you, a lot more people would've been sent flying by Kuma as well."
