[Center][H1] T H E M A R I N E S[/h1] [h2] 99TH DIVISION[/h2] Interacting with: [@LokiLeo789] [@NachoBachoPacho] [/center] [color=green]"If you two can come up with any way to make the ship go a bit faster then go for it."[/color] Freya had asked, as Johnny scoffed, looking over at Zepp. "You know, I actually quite like the cannonball Idea. We've done something like that a couple of times before. I'll be able to deal with large crowds, we'll go scope out the port, deal with any pirates we find. Buy you lot enough time to make it to the Island, before the whole place goes to shit." The Ensign spoke, showing that behind his goofy attitude, he still had some brains. Turning to Zepp, he grinned. "You wanna go bomb some pirates?" Turning to the crew. "Target the cannon, we'll go in on the dock where you'll be landing." Johnny spoke to the Seaman Marine, whom nodded, positioning the cannon. That's when the Den-Den Mushi rang, and it was a panicked member of Anaru's ship. Loud explosions could be heard, shouting about them being under attack and needing emmidiate backup. "I suppose we had better hurry, then." Johnny mentioned. "Change the direction of the cannon to Anaru's ship." Hearing the commotion on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Zepp shook his head and met up with the marine placed in charge of loading the cannonball, quickly touching the surface of the black sphere. In a split second, Zepp's body melded onto the cannonball, leaving no trace behind. If it weren't for the fact that the ball itself was black, one would have seen a shadow along its curvature in Zepp's shape. Once a few seconds had passed, Zepp's hand reached out of the ball, giving an "OK" sign to Johnny and the cannon's operator. They'd have to get this over with quickly, since it was pretty clear that whoever the person was causing the destruction wasn't one to be trifled with. At the very least, they gave the Gorilla trouble, simple-minded as he was. Withdrawing his arm into the cannonball, Zepp waited for the next phase of this unorthodox joint assault. Johnny grinned as Zepp attached to the cannon ball, he himself smiled at Freya. "We'll be back in a bit." He mentioned, signaling at the cannon operator to fire, and as the operator did, Johnny turned into his smoke form, and a white hand grabbed onto the ball soaring through the sky, letting it drag him with it, as he in his smoke form weighed next to nothing. Soaring out of eyesight of the marine vessel within seconds, the two riding atop of the canon ball approached the dock, they were going to land several hundred meters away from Anaru's ship - that now lit up in a gigantic explosion. In the water to boot. Obviously, that would be pretty terrible for the two Devil Fruit users. In fact, it would be the worst. Johnny moved quickly, staying in his smoke form, he grasped the canon ball Zepp was on, and used the Geppo technique to gain altitude, and the Soru technique to gain momentum. The smoke covering his actions, nobody would really notice that the cannon ball changed altittude, as they were otherwise occupied. The cannon ball was aimed at the man in the mask, the one fighting Anaru, but Anaru's attack sent the two of them out of the hit-range, the cannon ball hitting in between the two, Johnny emerging from the explosion in a cloud of thick, white smoke, a lit cigarette between his fingers, coughing as he inhaled the smoke from his tobacco stick. "Sup." Johnny spoke, calmly, looking at Anaru, and then at the criminal in the mask. "Nice mask. You do realize that demolishing a Marine vessel is a crime met with execution, right? Life in prison, if you have a lawyer. Unless you're a pirate, I mean, then you wouldn't get one." He spoke, softly, looking to the side. A squad of marines fighting valiantly as some sort of Dragon-dinosaur beast-thing. Turning his head towars the Silverback Marine. "You okay there.. [i]Sir?"[/i] He said, a hint of sarcasm in his words. "All right, Sparky Boom-Boom Man, you wanna tango?" Johnny said taking a battle stance, his legs widely apart, kind of like a spaghetti-westen look, the cigarette in his lip, him reaching for the pistols he carried on his waist. [i]And they thought patroling the East Blue would be calmer than the Grandline.[/i] Shortly after Johnny materialised, Zepp's form appeared back in three-dimensional space in a sitting position atop the cannonball. "Y'know, Baldy, these things cost taxpayer money." he remarked, adding on to Johnny's comment on the criminal aspect of the explosive man's actions. Frankly, Zepp didn't much care about that sort of thing, but he might as well lay the guilt on thick. Then again, the pirates in question probably didn't much care. "So, you think you're about ready to take a nap in a nice prison bed, or do me and my friend here gotta sing you a lullaby?" Zepp remarked, smug expression never fading from his face. However, despite how lackadaisical his words sounded, there was a wave of what almost felt like killing intent dripping from them. --- [color=green]"..."[/color] [color=green]"They better not die en-route. The paperwork for that would not be pretty."[/color] Turning back to her lounging spot, Freya snatched her justice coat off its hook, throwing it over her shoulders before grabbing her sword, which had been propped against the chair. Affixing it to her hip, she made her way back to the edge of the upper deck, watching as the Conomi Islands grew steadily closer.
