White Tiger

"Everyone, Battle stations!" Exclaimed Tokikake. With discplined movements, every crews on the flagship complied and immediately prepared for the incoming assaults.

A moment later, Tokikake squinted his eyes towards the distance, he saw a ball of fire flying through the sky with them as direction. 

*Clack! 

Tokikake immediately brandished his long Musket and aimed toward the ball of fire. 

*BANG! *BANG! *BANG! 

Several gun shots ressounding from Tokikake's special musket! 

The bullet with higher calliber than the usual riffle shooting out of the muzzle. 

Seeing the Ball of flames appeared to have dodged his bullets. Tokikake immediately began to shoot it continously! 

*Bang! *Bang! *Bang!

Bullet upon Bullet which covered by Tokikake Busoshoku(Color of Armament) Haki sprouted out in attempt to kill the ball of flame. 

Alas, the ball of flame was too nimble. As it began to approach, the temperature surrounding the Flagships began to raise as if they were inside a boiling pot. 

"What's that?!" One of the crew couldn't help but exclaimed in wonder. 

"QUARTER MASTER! TIANA! IMMEDIATELY CHANGE THE COURSE! WE'LL GO INTO FLORIAN TRIANGLE AT ONCE!" Tokikake shouted on top of his lungs in between his shooting stance! 

"Oh my god! THATS KING THE CONFLAGRATION!" One of the ship's crew in charge of surveillance shouted from atop of the ship's bird nest after he took a clear view of the flying ball of flame!

Daigin and Tiana who had activated the ship's self defense system immediately dashed towards Quarter Deck and began to steer the ship away, the following ship behind follows suit and change its course as well. 

King the Conflagration was infamous pirate from New World, he was an immediate right hand man of Kaido the Beast! With his current bounty of 778 Million Belly, Tokikake doesn't want to take his chance and fight him head on! Dr.Vegapunk's fate was at the stake when he was the only high ranked Marine officer present.

As the ships began to change its course, King noticed his target action and increasing his flying speed to another level.

*Zooom....

Sensing the danger abound, Kimimaro's flagship's defense system began to aim its Railguns against the flying creature! 

*Zwiiiing.....

Several Railguns with clear aims started to shoot its projectiles against King, However, without Enel controlling it, the power and speed behind each projectiles were weakened drastically as King could effortlessly avoided it despite those projectiles still has tremendous amount of power compared to ordinary cannons. 

King was quite surprised when he avoided the uncommon blue trailed projectiles, however, he didn't put those things in his mind as he fly. His mind was preoccupied by his mission which to capture Vegapunk and bring him back to the base!

Tokikake contenance turned ugly when he saw King was getting closer, soon he made a decision! 

"Tiana! Take over the command, ensure Vegapunk's safety and go away and wait until Vice Admiral Kimimaro back! I'll hold him off!!!" Despite Tokikake playfulness, when the situations needed him to act, he won't hesitate to do it!

"Understood!" Tiana's crisp voice coming out from the deck in affirmation.

Using Geppo(Moon Walk), Tokikake returned to his own ship, and ordered his crew for the inevitable. His crew was nervous as they knew that holding King off was no different than suicide, however, they immediately executed the orders as Marine! 

King saw his target's ships had separated from each other, the flagship turned towards the Florian Triangle curtain of fog while the second ship turned against him. With sinister smirk, King increased his flying speed once again, a plume of fire on his back burned even more vigoriously.
