	Both Tristan and Zell now stand before the tall woman with the heavy shoes. The shoes are black but look like they might have some stains on the bottom. She reaches up and adjusts her glasses with the tip of her middle finger. She throws an irritated glare at the two of them as well as furrowing her brow. 

	"Two against one? Against just one little lady like myself. How unmanly." She scolds but them a small smile curls at the edge of her mouth. She is obviously taunting them and she makes a quick and brisk movement towards them. She four steps away and on the second step she suddenly increases her speed and leaps forward. She slams both of her feet at the two men at the same time in a flying double kick. 

	"Don't get cocky you pirate brats!" she screams

(just gonna move it on a bit so we can continue quicker. 


	The man with the short staff looks on as his captain is literally disarmed by the large shark fishman. He was relived to see that he ran off rather than staying to double team against him. Re-focusing himself he turns back to the lighting man. This was going to be rather difficult to defeat if he makes even one mistake. That lighting power was nothing to sneeze at either. 

	"You will be taken down. There is no doubt about it." He said calmly before closing his eyes. Suddenly he moves at an incredible speed with this eyes still closed. Somehow he seems to know exactly where Ahio is. He makes a swing at Ahio's head which he is barely able to dodge. The man's movements are sharper than before and suddenly it dawns on Ahio that he might not be able to defeat him without taking some risk. "This is the end pirate!" the man screams as he brings up his staff and strikes at Ahio's stomach.

	There is a flash of light as the staff hits Ahio in the stomach. The force of the attack was somehow weakened by the shockwave of electric energy that he had focused to that part of his body. Ahio's blades had stuck into the marine as well. However the cuts were very shallow and Ahio took far more damage. The first blade was stuck in the top left shoulder of the marine and the other in the mid chest area. 

	"Ha! Its my victory pirate!" He says confidently. 

	"No..no its not.." Ahio says slowly. "Heart shock." He lets loose a blast of electric energy that runs from the top of his shoulder to his abdomen which runs directly through the marine's heart. The Marine falls to the ground.

	Hanna did a quick back roll to land on her feet only to see that there was a sheet of glass coming at her on the ground. She quickly leaps to the side only to find the glass changing direction to follow her. 

	"Well this is annoying..." she mutters under her breath. She waits until the glass is right on her and then she leaps in the air over it. This was, in hindsight, a bad move. Now in mid air the glass shoots upwards at her. Her arm jerks quickly as a powerful slash knocks away the majority of the glass but some finds its way into her flesh. A few shards are in her stomach and two or three are in her leg. She lands awkwardly and quickly pulls out the pieces of glass. Her eyes are now widened with anger and she glares at Sylas. "Bastard...I'll fucking kill you..." she holds her sword now in a reverse grip and then takes her pistol and re-loads it swiftly. 

	"I will end you.....now." She says as her wide eyes narrow and she leaps forward with no reguard to the glass on the ground now. She leaps carefully over the glass and just past a few shards that shot up at her. She swings once with the sword in an attempt to hit/break the glass swords and then immediately afterwards attempted to shoot at close range. The problem however is she left herself too open after such an attack.

	The old man watches as Marxo arrives back from his fight. He seems surprised that he had won but not overly so. He doesn't loos his composure. He simply strokes his beard and then cracks his creaky old shoulder. 

	"Hmm. Guess he won't be promoted. Oh yeah...forgot to mention something. Every officer in this mission is up for promotion depending on how they do. I had hoped he would have kept his head rather than going all out like that. He is the most troublesome of my students." The old man said in regard to the cannon ball man. "He was far to reckless. So long as he is alive I can always have him train more tho.." He lets his thoughts trail off for a moment but it was at this time Nabil created the heat needles. 

	"Oh ho." The old man said with a mild curiosity. "Heat weapons. Non physical but will probably deal some kind of physical damage. Not bad." He holds up his pole and takes a strange stance. It almost looks like a sword stance as he simply holds the pole at the end. It seems that in the spare moment he had he had strung the fishing pole. The needles fly at him but he quickly and nimbly dodges out of the way and actually strikes two of the needles with the pole and bent their trajectory away from him. 

	With a quick and powerful cast he flung the hook at the end of the string behind Marxo and Nabil. It hooked on a large piece of stone that had been broken up by the cannon ball. With a jerk of his wrists he flings the stone at Nabil's back. The pole however seems to have warped slightly and the power of the stone has been reduced. The old man looks down at the pole and see's where the heat has weakened the metal. 

	"Too bad. It was a good weapon too." He says lightly as he casts it aside. 


[@Boss Muffin]
	Now entering the port is a massive seven foot shark. At his right near the edge of the port is a man using glass fighting a young girl with a gun and a saber. At the other end of the port there seems to be a 2 v 1 battle going on of the two from the bar as they fight a mysterious old man. However Able notices something or rather someone standing on top of the Marine ship. The figure leaps down and lands in the middle of the port and gather's everyone's attention. It is a normal looking man standing at about six feet and eight inches tall with a scruffy unshaven five o clock shaddow and bushy brown hair. The man is wearing a captain's jacket and seems to be wiping sleep out of his eyes.

	Nikko rubs her head and graciously accepts the doctor's medicine. Smiling she pockets the medicine for later use as she doesn't want anything else to enter her system and disrupt her combat skills. She is probably going to need them soon. Especially with that looming figure of a captain and his leiutenants inching ever closer. The crowd of marines was still causing chaos in the town and it looked like the skirmish that had been going on a few streets down was over and the majority of the fighting was being done at the port. 

	Holding her hand over her eyes to act as a sun visor she peers out with her strange eyes to see Abel arriving no the scene at the port. The two pompous individuals she had met in the tavern were already on the docs fighting some people. Gritting her teeth she shivers slightly as the excitement of the whole event was sinking in. She can't help but grin from ear to ear until she notices that all of the ships had been sunk. 

	[color=f26522][b]"Well that sucks...."[/b][/color] She says not really pointing out what it is that she is talking about. However she notices that there is still ...one...boat...left. Just one. The massive marine flagship was still afloat and had plenty of ammo and probably supplies.[color=f26522][b] "Yes..."[/b][/color] She said slowly. Her trembling now slightly more visible. She throws up her arms in the air. [color=f26522][b]"YEAH!"[/b][/color] she screams. 

	It didn't seem that many people reacted to this which was probably good as it was somewhat embarrassing. She looked on as the blue haired girl turned the man's clothing into bricks that now lay on top of him. Her eyes widened and she walked up to her. 

	[color=f26522][b]"That is a neat ability. You have the option to mix objects together based on properties? That is amazing..."[/b][/color] She says seemingly in shock for some reason. Then she places her hand on the girl's shoulder. Nikko's hand is covered by a massive glove that obviously is several sizes to large for her. [color=f26522][b]"I want you to join my crew. My name is Nikko. I'm starting a crew and we have a few prospective members already."[/b][/color] She points back to the doctor. [color=f26522][b]"He is one there. He is our doctor. My first mate is the big shark guy down in the port. Dunno who all else has decided to join but your powers are interesting. I think that I can have great use for them."[/b][/color] She gives her a warm smile and then turns to the man who had taken the cannon ball as he shot a marine in the knee. 

	[color=f26522][b]"You seem strong too. Up to join?"[/b][/color] She asks Ryan in a casual way.[color=f26522][b] "How about this..."[/b][/color] She says walking over to him. [color=f26522][b]"Lets make a deal. I'll take care of the captain and his lieutenants and you help me take that ship."[/b][/color] She points out to the massive Marine ship. [color=f26522][b]"Its the last one still floating and how great would it be to set sail in the grand line on a ship meant to capture us?"[/b][/color] Her eyes gleam as she holds out her hands for the cannon ball. [color=f26522][b]"I liked the idea of the catapult but I have a slightly better idea."[/b][/color] 	

	Reaching out she grabs the cannon ball, not in a rude way but just picking it up. She walks over towards where the Marines are coming up the slight incline to the Tavern from the port and lifts the cannon ball over head. With a quick jump she does a full summersault and lands hard on her feet as she lets go of the cannon ball, effectively throwing it full speed at the captain who didn't have time to react. It ignites and blasts the marines clear off of the road giving them a quick and easy path to the port. 

	[color=f26522][b]"There."[/b][/color] Nikko says brushing off her gloves.[color=f26522][b] "Now we can get there in no time."[/b][/color] She looks back to see the doctor hardly paying attention to anything she jut said but instead treating an injured marine. It took her back a bit as she let out a sigh. She wasn't expecting the doctor to do something like that. It made him kind of amazing in her eyes. Walking up to him she pats him on the back 
	
	[color=f26522][b]"Wow. Not many would do that to people that had just threatened them. You really are a good doctor aren't you?"[/b][/color] She smiles and then picks him up and throws him over her back. [color=f26522][b]"But my guess is you're slow. So I'll give you a lift. Lets head out."[/b][/color] With not even a second thought she jumps into a full sprint down the newly cleared road toward the port.
