Abbygail paused her ascent as the swordsman submerged into the water.  With narrowed eyes she watched until the man reappeared, bursting forth from the water like a shark after a bird, or seal, or anything else foolish enough to rest on the water's surface.  He flew right past her onto the boat.  A moment of silence quickly followed by shouts from one of the Legion pirates and quick replies from the swordsman.  Then, a masked man fell into the water, went stiff and sunk like a rock.

"Hmmm."  The purple haired woman muttered, rubbing her chin.  "They all freeze up when they hit the water.  Are they all fruit users?"  She shook her head.  "There's no way a group of pirates that weak could get their hands on so many fruits."  She started to pull herself up.  

Thankfully, there wasn't an immediate threat once she reached the top.  "Mmm."  She muttered, unhappy.  "Hey!"  She sighed as she called over to the man on the boat.  "Do you need help getting up here?"  Without waiting for a reply, she unraveled the chain around her body and tossed the weighted end down.  "You're a sitting dock down there.  Hurry up and climb up!"

The sounds of footsteps came from around the corners.  "Are you sure they're over here?"  A voice called.  
"Sure am."  Another replied.  "I saw one of the swordsman knock out several of our guys and took off to get reinforcements."
"How noble."  Several voices echoed in perfect unison.  
Two pairs of half a dozen men each appeared around a corner, carrying a mixture of spears and swords.  Without a moment's hesitation, the ones with the swords rushed forward, each intent on taking a swing a swordsman with the spear holders coming up on the rear, intent on following up with attacks of their own once the preliminary sword attacks failed.  

"Shit!"  Abbygail muttered.  She dug the sickle end of her weapon into the side of the boat and called to the sword wielders on her side "Watch out!"  She took a step forward, and paused, unsure of which, if either, would need her help more.

"Hey!"  Abbygail called back to the man on the boat.  "Hurry up.  We could use some help up here."

"Hey!"  One of the men with a gun, muttered after the flying man landed.  "Is it me or does this guy seem a bit off to you?"
"Everyone's off to me!  What does it matter?  He's demanding we surrender."  The one speaking raised his rifle, while the others, whose guns were empty, either readied their firearms like bats, or dropped them to pull out their swords.  
"Here's my answer."  The man with the rifle shouted, firing a shot aimed at the invader's chest.  The others took the explosion at the end of the gun's barrel to mean charge and did exactly that.

Four Legion pirates were heading to the top of boat when Janet landed.  They didn't plan anything in advance, it was just the way the dice had rolled.  They saw her as they were coming out.  "Crap.  That's one of the invader's, isn't it?"
"Yep.  She's the one with the spears, I think.  Blows everything to hell. Pretty sure she's a fruit user."

"Doesn't matter what she is.  Nobody, outside the Legion pirates, goes below deck!"
Two drew their swords, while the third one, with a bucket of water to put out the fires that were starting to spread from the destruction of the cannons, didn't hesitated for a moment, because he did need the water but couldn't see a way of keeping it through the mayhem, decided to try something different.  Over the men with their swords, he threw the water, hoping it would do something to dampen the young woman's explosive power.
