Raphael raced behind Trently, who he noticed was moving sluggishly. He wasn't surprised the young pirates limits were being tested today due to the constant combat that the trio had been facing. All of which had been trying battles for the youth. Raphael rushed passed Trently like he was a bullet. "I got it from here..." The words came just as Raphael passed Trently. Only the blue haired boy would be able to hear the words of Raphael, who at this point was enraged by Zabuya. The marine had put his companions through great turmoil and the golden eyed pirate would not tolerate it. Before the man could recover from Trently's previous attack Raphael was upon him. Raphael made sure to attack from the side of Zabuya in which his swords hilt had been facing. Raphael began a barrage of devastating blows to the side of Zabuya's head. Each blow more savage than the last. Raphael was trying to knock the marines head off of his shoulders. After the seemingly endless barrage of punches  Raphael moved behind Zabuya and placed the mans head within his arms. Raphael then quickly jerked Zabuya's head to the left snapping his neck. This was the first time that anyone had seen the rage of the golden eyed pirate manifest itself. Raphael released the marines body and immediately went to recover Byron and Trently. He picked up both of his companions and began quickly leaving the area. More marines could have appeared, and that wouldn't have been good for the trio. Even if they didn't need to be carried Raphael figured this would be more effective than them trying to run on their own.
