"What?"  Abigail blinked and turned her attention to the shouting marines that were hurrying for them.  "Already, but how?  We barely got together and haven't even had a chance to leave our mark, or even A mark."  She frowned and her hand went down to her blade's handle.  She pulled it out and got ready to charge when Asus started saying something.  Is he a devil fruit user too, she thought to her self.  It would be nice to know she wasn't the only one.  For a moment she thought about showing her ability too, but decided against it.  She'd happily tell the rest of the crew when they got back together but for the moment it might not be the best idea to show the world military what everyone was capable.  

So she readied her blade and rushed towards the nearest marine.  Technically this wasn't only her actual first battle it was the first time she'd be using a blade in front of another person.  Yes, she's taken time to practice and read books on the subject but that wasn't the same thing, was it?  Well, she'd learn soon enough.
