The battle in and around the arena continued, even pirates loyal to the Sand King from other crews began to move in, and additional Aldugan Spines arrived to assist their allies as the commotion continued. The Spines did not seem to be concerned with achieving any particular goal however, attacking whoever they could, even if it was someone who was armed and would certainly give them resistance.

The battle within the arena was heating up a bit as the Electro attacker began to amp up the pressure. Balls of lightning would orbit them now that automatically struck anything that got close, seeing that they needed to shore up their defenses, especially with the incoming storm of stone arrows, courtesy of the Sand King.

Meanwhile in and around the arena, the appearance of Garrick had come as a shock to some of the Aldugan Spines, as they stammered and staggered, even one of them yelling "monster!" Garrick's monstrous appearance thinning out the crowd as he came to assist Kazue who had sustained wounds, the weak-willed among these orange-clad pirates running off and abandoning this particular confrontation. And even then, among those who stayed, some of them seemed rattled, between Kazue's seemingly insane and brutal way of fighting, and Garrick's imposing presence, they certainly felt more than intimidated.
