The Alliance Part 1

(inside the base at Marineford)

Akainu: So what makes me think we should hire you?

3:............you tell him.

8: Because there's no one else who can compete with us. You see, we are so effective at what we do, we give other bounty hunters a bad name.

3: Took the words right out of my mouth.

Akainu: And what of the boy?

Ares: Who are you calling a boy? (Akainu raises his fist which begins dripping with magma)

Akainu: Don't talk back!

8: He's gonna be the new number 7 since the last one happened to die.

Akainu: I thought he died.

8: We hunted him down and killed him.

Akainu: Hmm....So I know you all are called the Enigmatic Eight, but are the number significant?

8: Only 1-3. The rest are just assigned randomly whenever there is an opening.

3: Since I'm 3, I'm the third strongest.

Akainu: And where is your leader?

3: We don't have to tell you that, although he sends his regards.

Akainu: Hmmmm. Okay I see how it is.
