"Daddy, I don't want to be a marine," Nikolai mumbled, clearly delirious. The marine would doubtless have followed them were it not for the fact that the riot had gotten to the point where his energies were needed elsewhere. In the meantime, he ordered a manhunt for the two escapees.

"Urgh... What's going on...?" Nikolai mumbled, sitting up. "I feel like I've been punched into next week and... Are we at the port?" He asked as he looked around. "Aaaaand you're basically unconscious..." He sighed, picking up Jade and peeking around a box. He saw marines vacating the area as he heard a snail phone going off, mentioning something about two escaped convicts.

"Of course... They'd not expect us to be at the port... Right in the middle of a marine base... Heh, this could work..." Nikolai said with a small smile. "Just need a few minutes and..."

Sure enough, it wasn't long before the bare minimum guarding the boats was left over. A mere two men. "Say goodnight!" Nikolai said as he took them out, then dragged Jade on board. "We don't have long... Can you do the fast thing again? We need to get this ship moving, and it's way too big for me to do on my own."

"It'll happen..." Nikolai spoke confidently. "Just gotta keep my eye on him... It'll..." He felt a pit in his stomach. Then a fist. The captain had just walked up to him and punched him, and he'd just sat there and took it. "Gh... You... Didn't... Speed up..." He mumbled, right before the ripples started approaching the captain's fist. Nikolai's eyes widened as the force impacted his stomach, and sent him flying through a concrete wall.

He coughed as the dust started to settle. "Ugh... That hurt..."

"..." Nikolai scowled. For a moment, Jade's plan seemed brilliant, but...

"No." He said. "You're right, he'll lose his elasticity, but that just means no snapback... Hit that shield and you're more than likely to break your fist... Look..." He held up the saber. Sure enough, the blade was bent from the impact with the marine's arm. He tossed it aside and dived for the marine's tossed blade.

"Don't get cocky!" The marine said, slamming his fist into his palm, sending ripples up to his elbow.

"This technique... I've seen it..." Nikolai said, getting his guard up. "He's going to speed up! Get ready!" He shouted as the marine approached with no sign of acceleration.

The marine gritted his teeth from the wound inflicted, and Nikolai took the opportunity to make a bold move. He swung up a leg to kick the blade out of the man's hand. "Right, that'll do it!" He shouted, holding out the blade and preparing to cut the man once more. "Take this!"

"Arm shield!" The marine called out, his fist seeming to start spinning right before the blade came down. Hard.

"W-what?" Nikolai blinked, surprised. The blade barely even made a scratch. "But you're... Made of rubber..." He mumbled.

"And release!" The marine slammed his arm into Nikolai's side, spinning into it at high speed. The friction from the spin burning into his side and sending him flying. "I increased the tension of my arm to make it harder than steel." He said. "You can't cut me with that kind of an attack!"

"Tch... Gum gum..." Nikolai gritted his teeth. "Cut him! Don't bother with blunt attacks unless you're going to be able to knock him flying in a single blow!" He shouted, holding the saber with both hands. "I'll keep him busy! You try to overwhelm him! I'll keep him busy!" He said as he charged in, locking blades with the marine, though it was clear that he was outclassed.

"You take me too lightly, boy!" The marine spoke as he slashed at Nikolai, who barely dodged a direct hit, instead having his arm slashed.

Nikolai whistled with a smile as he began walking forward. "wow... Girl's got some balls." He said with a laugh, realizing he didn't even need to lift a finger in that situation. "I could barely even follow what you were getting onto there," he said to her. "Well, JJ," he smiled and shook his head. "Guess we should probably get out of here... Seriously though, who knew you could do THAT kind of thing? Why didn't you use it back when we were out in the yard? Probably would have saved us a boatload of trouble!" He laughed as he walked right out of the front door to the prison.

Outside, a single man was standing. "Well this looks interesting..." Nikolai mumbled, feeling an odd presence to the stranger. The new man stood at around 6'2, which was certainly taller than the young escapee, even if not by much. "This guy... He's got an odd feel to him..."

"So, I take it that you two prisoners are the ones causing a ruckus in my prison?" The man asked, his eyes sharp in spite of his age, which looked to be at least 50 from the greying of his hair which had an unfortunate pair of stripes overtop that made it look like he was wearing a skunk's tail on his head.

"And if we are?" Nikolai asked, holding both weapons at the ready.

"Then you're far too dangerous for me to allow you to continue to run around unattended." The man spoke drawing a blade. "I'll detain the both of you and have you sent somewhere better suited to dealing with riffraff such as yourselves... Perhaps Impel Down?"

"..." Nikolai grimaced as he raised the rifle. "Like hell!" He shouted, pulling the trigger and firing on the man. What happened next caught him completely by surprise. He was positive he'd hit the man square in the chest, but just as it happened, he felt something sharply graze his cheek, leaving behind a burning sensation. "What... A devil fruit?" He asked, eyes wide.

"Do you have any last words?" The man asked, holding up his blade, completely unperturbed by the shot fired.

Nikolai nodded, leading the way out and into the halls. "I'm betting..." He mumbled as he ran. He turned the corner past the yard exit, only to see...

"Woooow..." He said with a whistle. "That's a lot of mooks," he said, drawing the saber in his right hand and holding the gun in his left. "I don't know if we're going to be able to handle all these guys," he chuckled.
