"Wow."  One of the Legion pirates said, among the chaos. "I can't believe it's finally going down."
"I can.  It was bound to happen.  You flutter around a place as long as we've been here and the people get tired, they start muttering under their breath when they fill your orders, and then boom, there's a group of mercenaries they put on the payroll to take you out."
"Are these guys mercenaries?"  The first Legion pirate asked as he shuffled forwards to look over the edge of the ship just in time to see the swordsman swimming around, with clutter in one arm, before stopping at the ship to make some quick repairs.  "They're good, but nothing about them seems unified.  Also, we've got problems."
"Yeah.  I have eyes.  I can see the ship on fire.  Six months building this damn thing, and a fortune and its all up in smoke."
"It's supposed to do that though, right?"
"Do what?"
"Go up in smoke."
"Well, not ideally of course, but now it has to.  We can't let any of them get out alive, because one of them had to wonder around with open eyes."  The Legion pirate shook his head in anger.
"So if one of the enemies we're trying to kill were to be fixing the ship then that would be a problem, right?"
"Righ......"  The Legion pirate paused and shuffled over to look and see what his other half had seen.  "Oh damn it.  We've got to put a stop to that."
"I was afraid you were going to say that."
"Hey guys!"  The lead legion pirate of the group, said turning back to the small crowd behind him.  "We're going to have to take this one out.  Any of you guys have guns?"  Several men raised their weapons.  "Any with ammo, either in your pockets or in the actual weapon?"  The raised weapons lowered and the men shook their head.  "Well then we're jumping."  This was met with groans but none of the Legion pirates hesitated.  Each took hold of several bags of sand, tied it to their limbs and pushed jumped off in the general direction of the swordsman who was repairing the hull.  They couldn't do much once they hit the water, but maybe they could smack the man with enough force to knock him out, or maybe the long strings attached to them would tangle around the man and force him down with them.  They crossed their fingers as they fell.

"Damn.  This this is taking forever to sink, isn't it?"  A Legion pirate shouted as he's feet slammed on the boat, trying by will and flesh to increase the speed in which it rushed towards the bottom of the sea.  He was oblivious to the smoke around him, as well as the heat that was pouring off.  
"Well we could always go after the enemies."  Another pirate said, looking upwards at a bald man.
"Meh. They're way too far down by now.  I don't want to die tired."
"Nah."  The one looking upwards pointed at the dot that had held his attention.  "One's right there!"  
"WEll I'll be damned."  Smiling behind his masked, the Legion pirate pulled the rifle he had on his back and took aim.  He pulled the trigger, but his shot went wide thanks to the sudden vacuum that ripped the gun out of his hand, along with his finger.  "The hell is that guy doing?"  The Legion pirate squatted down and dug his remaining fingers into the floorboard to keep from flying off.  
"The smoke!"  The other yelled through the sound of the racing smoke.  "He's pulling it away."
"What the hell."  The man paused, noticing that in front of him was the woman in red, the one with the spears, that always made a mess.  She looked like she was going to do something and he had the feeling he should try and stop her, but before he could make a move, everything went white.

"No.  No!"  Mr. 3 shouted as the man with the spears rammed his shoulder into his back.  He tried to turn around for a counter attack but by then it was too late and he found himself sailing over the ship's railing, into the water below.  It was shallow, but not enough to drawn.  His head lay just over the surface but that didn't do him any good since his body was paralyzed and he didn't seem able to get his chest moving.  He tried anyways but nothing came out.  Slowly, he watched the waters around him rise and the bay doors opened up to the rest of the sea.

"Hey!"  One of the Legion pirates said, somewhere behind him  "That mans taking off with our escape boat."
"We're supposed to scuttle it, not escape on it."
"Shut up and start firing.  Fill it with holes!"
The men didn't argue.  They raised their rifles and began unloading towards the boat.  Then, the ship shook, harder than before.  The force caused several of the men to pitch forwards into the cool ocean waters.  
"Damn it.  Just get on the boat.  Hurry.  Before it gets too far."  without needing to hear another word the men rushed forwards towards the ship.

Abbygail paused to begin nodding at the woman, but stopped when another Legion pirate tried taking her from behind.  She cut him down with enough force to also slice through the man that was coming up behind the first attacker.  Both fell to the ground in pieces.  "I agree!  These guys are absolutely insane.  They're not scared of death at all.  There's just no individual desire for self preservation.  It's like fighting an ant colony or a religious cult!"  She cut down another Legion pirate before stepping back to look around.  "Which way?"  There was a violent rocking coming from their left.  

"That was different from anything these guys had before.  Which means.."  Abbygail turned her body in the direction of the blast, noting that the smoke pouring in from door she was facing, was a lot less then the others.  "I'm sure that was from the girl on our side.  So I say we go that way."  Without waiting for Red-Eye's response she covered her mouth with some cloth and rushed through the doorway.

As much as Abbygail wanted to stay behind the swordsman to make sure she was okay, and look at her thighs, they didn't have that kind of time.  She'd just have to hope the girl followed her.  Without looking back the purple haired woman slashed her way forwards.  "There's light up ahead."  She called through her masks.  Before long she could see the sky and the sea.  She barely managed to stop herself before going over into the ocean.

The ship shook again, with the more familiar explosions.  Desperately Abbygail looked around at the water below until she noticed a rather large lifeboat, with a few more Legion pirates on it.  "Hey."  She yelled with her finger pointed at the ship, assuming her ally was with her and hoping the rest of the people she was with could hear her.  "There's a ship down there!  Get on if you can!"  Just after she spoke another tremor rushed through the ship, drowning out anything else she could've said.

Back on Frozen Saint Island, a Legion pirate, without a mask, smiled at the sinking ship.  He was surrounded by the remaining villagers, all of which had mixed reactions on their faces, as if they'd never imagine the Legion pirates coming to an end.  They were wrong of course.  The Legion pirates couldn't be done in by a simple thing like mass murder and their home base going up in flames.   It was a shame the ship had to go down though, they'd had it for so long it was starting to look like there was no use in the contingency plan but they they were.  There was only one thing to do, and then he could disappear for awhile and get back to green tooth.  He smiled as he looked down on the the people in front of him, unaware of how much smaller they were starting to look.
