When Coco saw Gill arrive, she stumbled, taking a punch from Yatsuhashi full force. He hadn’t been pulling back because he hadn’t expected her to let him hit her.

She sprawled in the sand while he waited for her, not sure what to do. She shook her head and scrambled to her feet, dusting herself off.

“Lucky punch,” she called out for Jax’s benefit. They were close to him, close enough for him to watch them fight with obvious enjoyment, but not close enough to make their move yet. Whatever that was going to be. She had to get Yatsuhashi within arm’s length of him so he could do his thing, but Jax was well protected at the moment.
