The damage Yosaku took was no joke, so both of them wanted to help, but before they could protest, Yosaku moved in front, taking out a shield from somewhere tanking Jabra's punch, making him slip, before bashing his head with the shield and jumping back.
By then Groot and Franky also jumped back, only now realizing how weak compared to Yosaku they were. They didn't even see the attack, until it was too late.
"Shit! The prisoners escaped, huh?" Jabra growled, recognizing their voice, "No, matter. I will kill all of you!" He snarled releasing a massive amount of bloodlust that scared both Franky and Groot.
With that Jabra tried to use any sounds to locate the pirates, pouncing on them. The poison from Hatchan, not only took away Jabra's vision, but his enhanced sense of smell as well. And as a wolf zoan his very keen sense of smell was also his specialty, but he was unable to use that.
Jabra who was about to claw through Groot, was quickly saved when Yosaku came forward with his shield, and Jabra's claws slipped away.
Jabra stumbled as Yosaku engaged him, using nothing but his shield and fists to fight against the titan of a wolf zoan.
Now that things were dire, Yosaku wasn't holding anything back, using his special shield when necessary. But that was quickly eating his stamina.
Even without his eyes, Jabra was finally able to get an opportunity, when he was able to grab Yosaku's leg with his tail and trip him. The zoan user brought his feet down, and Yosaku was second too late to use his shield, as he Jabra's feet came down like a tank.
Yosaku coughed blood, as he was pinned down and Jabra didn't hesitate to pull back his arm and finish him with a his claws. But right before Jabra was able to hit him, his ears perked up, and stumbled forward, holding his groin.
It was Hatchan, who finally managed to come back into the fight, and landed a low blow that even Jabra couldn't ignore. The fishman wasn't in good shape, having clothes wrapped around his stomach, to hold of the bleeding. Even his lower arms were holding back his wound. He only came cause he knew Yosaku was in trouble.
Jabra growled as he snapped his head towards Hatchan, almost scaring the injured Fishman. But in doing so, left himself wide open.
Yosaku who was still pinned under Jabra's feet held two of his fists together, right towards his head. "Rokuogan!" The shockwave-based attack ripped through Jabra's defense, blowing up his eardrums.
"Gaahh!" Jabra roared as he held his ears. Yosaku quickly used that chance to roll away before Jabra could attack. Hatchan also backed off as Jabra sipped through air, finding nothing to hit slash.
"Heh, nice one," Hatchan said giving Yosaku a thumbs up.
The pirate gave a weak smile also giving him a thumbs up. "We should leave him be… that Rokuogan took everything from me. And his hide his too strong for normal attacks."
Hatchan nodded, "My attacks might hurt him a bit, but it would be useless against his quick recovery… my poison might have worked. But it's temporary."
Yosaku snapped his head at Hatchan, "Why didn't you use a permanent one then?"
Hatchan's brow twitched, "What I meant is that his high regeneration ability will fix his blindness soon. The same goes for his eardrums."
"Oh…" Yosaku said, "That's bad…" he then looked at a distance where Groot and Franky were hiding. "Well, we got our guys… shouldn't we just leave?"
"No," Someone answered bringing both of the fighter's attention. They were tense, only relaxing after seeing who it was. It was Anchor, but he was way bigger and looked different from usual, but his crewmates knew what it was.
"Wait, is that you Archy?" Franky said only getting a nod from Anchor who was looking at the wolf zoan. "You got buff and how did you do that?" he wondered how he appeared out of nowhere.
Anchor didn't answer, noting Jabra instead, "We can't leave that thing here… I don't know what kind of drug that thing took. But if it's anything like Lucci's then we have to put him down. And besides we can't go before Gin and Usopp come. Any idea who they are fighting?"
Both Groot and Franky looked at each other, before Franky answered, "The last time we saw them… they were facing off against Vice Admiral Onigumo."
Anchor blinked, "Shit… that's a tough one. We might need to help them…"
"Oi, what's he doing…" Someone else pointed out. Making all of them look at Law, who was casually sitting on some rubbles and pointing at Jabra. They moved their heads at Jabra who was trying to eat something. Only for that thing to be replaced with some rocks. "What's this anyway…"
"Don't do that…" Franky said, "First its Archy, then you… how do you guys keep appearing out of the blue!"
Yosaku chuckled, "You will get used to it after joining the crew…"
Franky was confused as to why he would join a pirate crew, but his question was cut off when Jabra roared with his 'newfound' strength.
All of them blinked looking at Law, "I thought you took that from him…"
Law rolled his eyes, holding up the drug, "I did…" he said, before pointing at Jabra, "That's the placebo at work."
That made all of them blink and break out in a small laugh as Jabra was roaring like a moron, declaring he would rip everyone apart and pointing at a wall of all things and threatening it to death. With none of his senses working properly, he was fighting against buildings and walls, making himself look like the idiot he was.
