Please make it sound more native
The passage:
Sounds like you're a newbie here. What makes you think I'd join somebody and fight you? Nope, I'm not here to fight anybody. This is no battlefield here. And do you really think there's any serious need for you to fight? It won't be long before you realize that you don't have any enimies here. Time will tell.
----------------------------------------------
Well, I change "I'm not here to fight anybody" into "I'm here to fight nobody." I think the editing makes it sound more native. Am I on the right track?
