[color=deepskyblue] August stepped forward as the battle had caught his interest. He wiped his sweaty brow and clenched his fists. The speedy pirate thought he was safe from a distance, but there was no telling at his point. "Did he say he was a warlord of the sea?" The pirate changed his expression immediately when learning of that information. There was certainty that the cuffed man did say he was a schichibukai.

 "To think, I was trapped in a room with one of the warlords." August slammed his fist against the wall he was leaning onto. He began rationalizing the situation. [i]"Okay, so they are known for their immense strength,"[/i] August had heard plenty of rumors concerning the warlord's capabilities, but he was not fully convinced. 

"Maybe all of it is just rumor," Fletcher muttered. He kept placed at his position and prepared himself in case the schichibukai brings the fight closer. So far it looked like was interested in one person. August could hear faint noises, but he ignored them and tried staying focus on the mallet guy.

 He was stunned by the immediate pirate crew. The ship was coming at them and he didn't have enough time to react. "It's just one problem after another. Now we have the pirates to deal-" The vessel was immediately destroyed by the mallet-using pirate. The broken ship was proof enough of the warlord's capabilities. 

"I guess it wasn't rumor after all," August joked. "I need to get off this ship." The incoming ship had caused minor damage, but it was enough to have the ship begin to sink. Most of the new pirates were knocked out or had died upon impact. The problem was still the schichibukai, unless he had some type of emotional personality change. 

August began jogging towards the side of the ship. He eyed the railing he had to jump over to get to the other ship. He didn't doubt there was an open distance between this ship and the adjacent one. As he was nearing the railing, he picked up speed. Sprinting at full, he managed to use his legs to jump a lengthy amount. August soared over the water and landed onto the ship with ease. 

 He looked back to eye the schichibukai's next move...[/color]
