Salute To The General

Colin stood proudly as he pinned an icy glare at Akuma. "What kind of self-respecting hero poisons his weapons? You filthy Jetroinan cheats! You're unworthy of being fought against!"

Akuma was initially enraged by the insult, but realization dawned upon him when he recognized who Colin was.

"Aren't you the Commander of Nathan Cross' National Guard? I remember now. You are Colin Dunne, Deputy Commander of the Brimmopolis Capital Garrison."

Akuma then smirked as he continued, "Why didn't you stay in your cozy little capital? Did you come here to die? Well, I may not have the confidence to kill the Eurasian God of War, but I have plenty of confidence in sending you to meet your maker. This is a piece of cake! If you're not convinced, why don't you fight me to the death?"

Coldly, Colin retorted, "Fine. I agree to your silly challenge."

After saying that, he motioned to the ship's captain behind him. "Increase your speed and ram into them."

In an instant, Colin's fishing boat shot out of the line, hurtling toward Akuma's own vessel.

Boom!

Colin's boat collided violently with Akuma's, nearly crushing the latter's boat to pieces.

The Jetroinan troops could not help but let out panicked yells.

Colin's vessel, along with both Akuma's and Pallav's were all tightly squished together.

As if treading on level ground, Colin strode in Akuma's direction. "I heard that you're quite slippery. I'll happily take you on."
