The big marine that he's basically ignored puffed up his chest and took a step closer, brandishing a long saber. Clearly he's not appreciated such treatment.

"Now I don't know how you plan on doing that, pirate. You're surrounded and I don't know who you think you are but..."

The Doctor's attention snaps to focus on the man, cutting him off with a glare, and his soft expression hardened to the implacability of a mountain. His eyes burned, and his voice grew monstrously loud, echoing throughout the courtyard even over the noise.

"I'm the Doctor, and you just made the biggest mistake of your life, soldier. You hurt someone that I happen to like, and now you're trying to get between us. And that is not a very good position to be standing in. Let. Her. Go and you can get out of this without any further reprisal."

The marines around him all scoffed, laughing and drawing swords and guns. "Yeah, Doctor? Heard this from all sorts of pirates before. Dunno what you think is different about you."

When they stepped forward, of course...the Time Lord simply glowered and raised his screwdriver, clicking it on. And then every single gun held by a marine roared in sudden, deafening explosions that send the navy men sprawling to the ground with cries of pain and surprise. The big officer gapes and takes a step back as the Doctor steps forward and gives Selphie a little wink.

"Gunpowder. Pretty volatile substance. A little sonic energy and there it goes."
