When the assassin aimed a kick right at Shigeuchi, two things happened. The first, is that he swapped his position with that Caitlyn. The second, is that Lexi likely had just kicked her own Captain. It would have been hilarious, if the duo hadn't become an annoying collection of rambling... Well to be honest both Nikko and Shigeuchi had been then decided that the two girls were annoying, and not worth the trouble. It was actually embarrassing, and they had places to go. 

[color=gray]"Brats not understanding the importance of logistics."[/color] Was all Shigeuchi had to say regarding Jōichirō's comments. It was meaningless to say more, the kid's attitude was already rubbing Shigeuchi's scales the wrong way. And he didn't even have scales. The brief look he shared with his captain was clear. He didn't trust this guy, and to be honest, it was just amusing to Nikko. 

[color=f7976a]"Well, I wish you luck with that. Consider yourself on probation for threatening your new captain, and you'll be doing swabby duty for the first week."[/color] Nikko didn't mention it, but he doubted any ambition to steal the Golden Lion MKII would last a day. The ship didn't have sails, and rather ran on heat power. His heat power. The reason simply being that unless Nikko was there to pilot and control the ship, it didn't move. Shigeuchi had the idea to be honest. A ship that cannot leave port without its captain. It certainly kept the crew in line. Mutiny was simply impossible. 

[color=f7976a]"We're leaving, we have business to attend to."[/color] Nikko said, and the pirate crew began to leave the bar. They had no intention to start a fight to begin with. If Caitlyn and Lexi chose to follow and attack again, the pirate crew would not be as kind. As Nikko stepped outside, there was a sudden [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPCApcHSJJ0]ringing[/url] from his pocket. Pulling a small snail from his pocket, the Red Lion smiled. [color=f7976a]"Oh, and what news do you have?"[/color]
[b]"Boss, the thing is all set up. We even have the video feed like you asked for."[/b]
[color=f7976a]"And the replica?"[/color]
[b]"All made up, it's ready to go."[/b]
[color=f7976a]"Excellent, I'm heading back to the ship with some new crewmembers. We'll be setting sail soon. You have set up the detonation timer, right?"[/color] Nikko asked, a bit more quietly to avoid evesdroppers.
[b]"Of course boss, seven days if our demands aren't met. We'll be in Water 7 well before that thing goes off."[/b] Nikko hung up after that, and smiled from ear to ear. 

[color=f7976a]"Alright boys, we're heading out, all aboard the Golden Lion MKII!"[/color]
