Both guys seemed to be hugely understimating her. Devil Fruit or not, Emeri was still a damn fine pirate!..... probably. Even so, the comment from the swordsman pissed her off a bit. How could someone just not see that she was already eighteen?! [color=f49ac2]"What was that!? Can't you see I am 18, you idiotic monkey!"[/color] Yeah, she was losing her cool. The guy didn't want to fight her and instead tried insulting her. Yeah, she should play it smooth here. She turned to the swordsman yet again, making her hair move around elgantly with her own elegant moves. [color=f49ac2]"But even then, I cannot blame you for being scared of me. You may need swords, but I don't need such things. My, if it weren't because I ate a Devil Fruit by accident, I could still be able to drag you around the ground as it is proper for someone of YOUR class."[/color] 

Emeri jumped off the table. She was now full and out of here. Of course, she couldn't just let the comments of the old timer slide. He was part of the past age, and certainly a big asset for her in coming fights. She approached him with a smile. Even if he was saying all of those things and whatnot about devil fruits, he was certainly someone with some experience in the seas all ready. Perfect, just what Emeri needed. With another smirk, and pointing at him Emeri said what she needed to say. [color=f49ac2]"You are a a real pain in anyone's bottom, old man. I like you. Even if you couldn't get a Devil Fruit in your time, I'm sure you are still real powerful. Why don't you become part of my crew?"[/color] She smiled at him. 

Of course, the bandits wouldn't just stay down while she had a talk with the old timer. Once the guy swinged his sword down to get her, Emeri decided to not let it go through her and instead use the guy's momentum against him. She avoided the slashing motion of the guy's sword, moved into the inside of the guy's guard and then punched him right on his stomach. It was a subtle move that still damaged the guy badly, making him fall to his knees. "W-What? How? She didn't even use her Devil Fruit powers....?" 

[color=f49ac2]"Hehe, good enough right?"[/color] She turned to the old man. [color=f49ac2]"Anyhow, I'm off to steal some boat to get to the next island. I need to get to the Grand Line as soon as possible. I need someone seasoned like you helping me out. You DO wish to see the seas one more time before dying right?"[/color] Emeri arrogantly smirked at him. She also turned to the swordsman and glared at him a bit, before smiling. She was trying to provoke him, in one way or the other. She would also like to have someone like that in her crew, someone aside from her that could fight. Just, she may need to educate the little monkey. [color=f49ac2]"And the monkey swordsman over there.... Well, just come too. It'll be fun."[/color]
