The crew moved as one, in a coordinated escape. They dodged and weaved through the crowd. Nami g to Coby's arm, holding his arm like a vice, as Coby practically carried her.
As they made their way through Logue Town, the Marine officers began to intercept them. Luffy, Coby, and Zoro reacted swiftly, dispatg their oppos swiftly, not letting them any ce to box them. Their movements synized, each c the others' backs, already got used to fighting together.
Suddenly, Tashigi appeared before them, her sword drawn. Zoro met her challenge, blog her attack. "Go ahead!" he called to Luffy, Coby and Nami, signaling them to tinue. Luffy nodded and, with Coby and Nami in tow, sprinted ahead.
Their path soht them face to face with Smoker, the infamous Marine known for his relentless pursuit of pirates. Coby couldn't suppress a grily, he had realized the potential Points (SP) he could gain from fighting major characters like Smoker. pared t, Smoker was in a different league entirely, and Coby was one of the few in the crew who could stand a ce against him.
As Smoker used his White Blow teique, a sudden shift occurred. Raindrops in the air accelerated towards him at bullet speed, f him to dodge hastily. He turned his shocked gaze to Coby, who stood calmly, a knowing look in his eyes.
"Remember what I said about him?" Coby called to Luffy and Nami. Luffy ched his fist, the realization dawning on him. "Right. He's Logia."
Coby nodded affirmatively. "You go. I'll catch up."
Without hesitation, Luffy and Nami tiheir sprint, leaving Coby to front Smoker.
Smoker, annoyed yet focused, regarded Coby with curiosity and caution. "Coby the Copy Ninja. 25,000,000 Berry," he aowledged, taking out his jitte.
Coby assessed the situation, aware that he only had one move that could potentially harm Smoker. But even if he couldn't defeat the Logia user, he could at least prevent him from pursuing Luffy and Nami.
The streets of Logue Town became an arena as Coby faced off against Captain Smoker. Raied the cobblestones, creating a symphony of spshes and drumming that set the stage for Coby, creating ammunition for him.
Coby stood rexed, his eyes trag Smoker's every move. He knew his usual repertoire of attacks would be futile against the Logia user's intangible smoke body. He had one viable on in this fight: Uchimizu.
Smoker, cloaked in billowing smoke, watched Coby with a predataze. He wasn't oo uimate his oppos, especially not a bounty as intriguing as Coby's. With a fluid motion, he lunged forward, his jitte leading the charge aimed to subdue Coby swiftly.
Coby sidestepped, narrowly avoiding the strike. He dipped his fingers into a puddle, flig them upward, sending a barrage of water droplets towards Smoker. The droplets transformed into lethal darts in mid-air, eae aimed with deadly precision.
Smoker, taken aback by the ued assault, shifted into his smoke form, allowing the water darts to pass harmlessly through. He reformed, a smirk pying on his lips, "Not bad, but you'll need more than that."
The rain intensified, as if nature itself was setting the rhythm for their deadly dance. Coby seized the moment, his mind rag through possibilities, strategies f and dissolving in the blink of an eye. He o outmaneuver Smoker, to turn the enviroo his advantage.
He spriowards a narrow alley, Smoker in hot pursuit. The alley's fines limited Smoker's ability to maneuver, a small but crucial advantage for Coby. He spun, sending another volley of Uchimizu towards Smoker, who dissipated into smoke, avoiding the attace more.
As Smoker advanced like a cloud of intangible smoke, Coby's hands detached from his wrists, floating beside him like eerie guardians. This was his new bination, a variation of the Uchimizu teique he had yet to name. With a flick of his fingers, droplets of rain transformed into sharp darts, flying towards Smoker from multiple angles.
[System Message: Skill binatioed: 'Twisted Water Dart. Initiating first-time use analysis…]
Smoker, with a snort of disdain, turned into smoke, allowing the droplets to pass through him harmlessly yet again. He was used to people uimating his Logia powers, but he could tell Coby was different. There was a sharpness in his eyes, a focus that spoke of a deeper pn.
Coby, anticipating Smoker's move, executed his a. As Smoker reformed to ter-attack, Coby's detached hands, unnoticed in the chaos of the flying water darts, darted towards the jitte. Smoker, sensing the movement at the st moment, swung his on defensively, turning his body into a whirl of smoke and steel.
[System Message: Innovative Skill Usage Detected: 'Stealth Hand Snatch'. Bonus 250 SP awarded for creative application.]
But Coby was faster. His hands, propelled by the 'Bara Bara Detach Hand' attacked with the Sniper Pistol that bsted the jitte away from Smoker. The still floating hand grasped the jitte. Smoker, realizing the threat too te, solidified and reached out to recim his on.
Coby’s right hand gripped the jitte, a prize snatched in their skirmish, while his left hand floated above, ready to unleash the Twisted Water Dart from various angles. Smoker, known for his posed demeanor, now exuded an aura of fury. He lost his prize on to a pirate. A pirate now using it against him.
Smoker wasted no time, lunging forward with a surge of his smoke-powered momentum. Coby’s already detached left hand began its dan the rain, colleg droplets and transf them into lethal darts aimed at Smoker from above.
Smoker, now focused on the dual threat, shifted into his smoke form, allowing the water darts to pass through him harmlessly. He reformed, closer to Coby, his fist swiping through the air with deadly i. Coby, however, was already in motion, sidestepping with the grace of his Stealth Foot, a teique he'd honed for moments like these.
[System Message: 'Stealth Foot' engaged. Bonus 30 SP awarded for strategic evasion.]
Coby o outsmart Smoker, to use the enviroo his advantage. He feio the left, then darted right, leading Smoker into a narrow se of the alley where the dense walls limited his smoke dispersal.
Coby's floating hand, still armed with the jitte, desded in a swift arc, aiming to solidify and strike Smoker. But the Marine Captain was quick, his body dispersing into a cloud of smoke, evading the strike and reappearing behind Coby.
Smoker's fist, now solid, aimed a blow towards Coby's back. But Coby was ready. At the st moment, he twisted, the jitte in his right hand that had just re-attached to his wrist, parrying the attack with a g that resohrough the alley. The close-quarters bat was intense.
Coby, sensing an opening, unleashed a barrage of Twisted Water Darts, his detached hand moving with a mind of its own, creating a storm of high-velocity raindrops. Smoker, his form solid, was forced on the defensive, his body weaving through the onsught.
Coby charged forward with a burst of energy, initiating his Storm Barrage. This time, instead of daggers, he wielded the jitte as his primary on, utilizing its solid form to potentially strike Smoker's intangible smoke body. His left hand, still suspended in the air, relentlessly attacked with rain bullets, creating a relentless downpour of high-speed attacks.
Smoker, nnizing the heightehreat, maneuvered with increased urgency. His smoke swirled around him, a defensive cye, yet he was visibly more cautious, aware of the jitte's threat. As Coby advanced, Smoker's smoke form weaved and darted, a dance of evasion and ter-attacks.
Coby feinted again with his floating hand, using it to distract Smoker, then lunged with the jitte, aiming for where he anticipated Smoker would solidify. The jitte cut through the air, a silver ar the dim light of the stormy alley.
Smoker, forced into solidity by the stant threat of the jitte, retaliated with a series of rapid strikes. His fist cshed with Coby's jitte, the sound of metal on flesh eg off the walls. Sparks flew, illuminating their intense expressions, both warriors fully engrossed itle.

As the battle reached its cresdo, an immense gust of wind tore through Logue Town. The sky darkened further, and a formidable presence filled the air. Dragon, the revolutionary, had arrived, his power palpable even from a distahe wind intensified, being a fierce gale that swept through the streets, bending trees and sending debris flying.
Coby, caught in the sudderom, found himself lifted off his feet. He twisted in the air, trying tain trol, but the force was overwhelming. As he was swept away, his eyes locked onton, analyzing the incredible poy.

Nami's distressed cries reached his ears before he saw the Going Merry drifting further into the sea.

At the same time, Luffy extended his arm, their hands g in mid-air.
