Nicholas arrived literally with a splash. He leaped off from the water too soon that he ended up barely making it at the edge of port, making an amount of sea water to crash along with him to the docks. Shaking off the water in his hair, and his clothes, Nicholas walked towards the barricade his men made. The Marines all stood in attention as soon as they'd seen him, though some of them seem surprised even though they knew he's coming. Well, he couldnt blame them, you dont see people running on water often, not mention it was an Admiral who did it.
 
"I'm sorry I seem to have flooded the port, and my hair's a little wet too." Nicholas smiled sheepishly, "What's the current situation, Lieutenant?" The Admiral asked, getting back on business.

"Y-yes, sir! I-I mean, no problem, sir. Well, um," The man incharge of the barricade seem at a lost for words, but once he managed to compose himself again, he said, "Most of them are still in the plaza, sir. The Silver Pirates seem to be fighting off some of our men and a certain pirate group. So far, we had managed to fend off anyone who wanted to get on their ship, sir."
 
"I see everyone's doing a great job. Keep at it, Lieutenant." Nicholas said  "By any chance, do you have one of those den den mushi that is connected to the town's intercom?"

"Y-yes, sir!" The man barked an order, and then a petty officer stepped forward presenting a pink den den mushi to Nicholas. Nicholas took the receiver and then started to speak.

"Mic test. Mic test." There was a second of ear splitting feedback, and then, when it died down, as if on cue, the town went to a temporary silence as well.
 
"Hello?" Nicholas said, hearing his voice ten times louder and coming from different locations all at the same time is weird. "This is Nicholas Barrimore. I may not look like it but I am a newly appointed Admiral of the Marines. I'm still not used to the job, but I promise I will do my best. For now, I am ordered to apprehend all pirates in this island." Nicholas paused, "But since its my first order in the job, I'll cut you some slack. Within 10 minutes, my men and I will try to catch as many of you as we can. And if by any chance you managed to survive that long, I will let you leave this island. No chasing. Although you can be sure that we will not take you lightly within the allotted time. So how about it then? Your 10 minutes starts now."

Nicholas put back the receiver on the shell rest with a clank. He can only hope that all of the high ranking officers in the island heard him and understood his plan. He knew Victor and rest should be around somewhere in town. Nicholas walked towards the man incharge of the barricade, "Lieutenant, if it isnt too much to ask I want you to sink all their ships." The Admiral ordered.

The man appears to be shocked, "S-sir? But detonating takes time."

Nicholas gave him a mischievous smile, "That's what the 10 minutes are for."
