As they made their approach to the now not-so-far-off island, Lilli glanced over the work on the ship and checked up with the crew. Everyone seemed mostly fine, which was great because who knew what was gonna be on that isl---CANNONS!! Her eyes going absolutely huge as she saw the fort, the scientist ran to the prow and leaned over the edge, pushing herself forwards. She almost forgot herself and plunged overboard in her excitement. Dancing away from the prow she jumped and clapped her hands in glee. B-MO mirrored the action.

[color=#FF9A26][b]"Cannons!"[/b][/color] she squealed excitedly. It looked like a marine fort, which was good, because the marines got stuff from Dr. Vegapunk and she wanted that stuff! Of course, things became less good as cannonballs found their way to the water. Just before the natives arrived she let B-MO's form shrank and hid itself beneath her clothes and in her body in an armor of sorts. There was no telling what they would face, but this time she wanted to hide her biggest advantage.

As the island's strange inhabitants greeted them, Lilli narrowed her eyes slightly and tilted her head--though her eyes still smiled. She managed to pick up on the fact that the crew of the other ship appeared to be their allies. It also became swiftly apparent that they were in dire straits. As Bonii-chan sidled closer to her she put her hand on his bony head and smiled down at him, her eyes all a glitter with wonder.

She was finally in the Grandline and even with this new challenge, she had NO intention of being stopped here.

[color=#FF9A26][b]"Well, we may as well join this contest of strength and skill,"[/b][/color] she said following Feya, Boone, and Caesar. they didn't have much choice. What she wondered was how unfairly skewed these tests would be...and whether the islanders would cheat.
