One Piece: The Journey of a Thousand Miles

@KillBox
Abbygail, frowned at the bald man who mentioned taking care not to damage the ship further. "You don't have to tell me. I'm sure everyone here has been doing their best to keep the ship as intact as possible. It's those damn Legion pirates that seem not to care about what's happening it to it. I swear it's almost as if they they want this thing to go down." The floor beneath their feet shuddered again, and more smoke began pouring out of the opposite end of the ship. "Case in point." She sighed.

@Shiyonichi@grandia20@Crimson Lion@KillBox

The short woman's purple eyes narrowed as she surveyed the rest of the ship before turning her attention down to the ship. "That girl with the spears could be anywhere by now." Someone cursed from off in the ship's bowls. Another explosion from behind her followed shortly with the familiar sound of several of their enemies screaming before falling suddenly silent.

"Okay." Abbygail sighed and put her hands on her hips, before swiveling on a heel to look at the others. "So I'm not sure if anyone else has come to this conclusion." She winced as another thud vibrated from below bringing forth more smoke from somewhere down in the ship. "There's something going on here. There's no way these guys are trying to protect this ship." Another thud. "Much less trying to escape on it." She pointed her thumb behind her at the crater the spear girl had gone down. "So if nobody is up for this It's understandable. You're still a coward in my eyes and a joke to seafarers, but it's understandable. "I'm going to go down there to find that girl and wouldn't be opposed to some help in those tight spaces, but I only need one or two of you.
I'd like for the rest to stay up here to keep the exit clear. Any volunteers?"

@Noodles
The advancing legion pirates stopped when they saw the young woman's spears scattered on the floor, but not for long. "Will you look at that," the one in the front laughed, throwing his arms out wide. "She's put us in quite the spot, didn't she fellas?" The question was met with titters and much elbow jostling. "Probably thinks she's got us in a stale mate." The figure shook his head. "Sorry miss, but that's not how it is. Our group will be okay if these blow and we all get sucked into the ocean floor, but will you." Grinning behind his mask the man took a step forwards, aiming his foot for the nearest mine.

@Shiyonichi@grandia20@Crimson Lion@KillBox
Several quick thuds reverberated through the ship. "No time." Abbygail muttered. She ripped off a piece of her shirt and wrapped it around her face. "If you're coming come, or stay and keep a clear exit. Leave if you will." Without waiting for a reply she turned and rushed into the hole that had been created by the young lady with the spear, not making it far before encountering another large group of the Legion Pirates.

Just having troblue with a background, sorry for taking so long

@AcetheKidd
Well if you'd like you can put what you have so far and I can look at that.

Will you be replying to my last post or should I continue?

@grandia20@Shiyonichi
"Right!" The purple haired woman said, starting to move forwards, but stopped to look back at her hook, latched into the boat. Abbygail could fight without her trusted EThel, she'd done so for years in the marines, but somehow it felt wrong to engage in combat without her heirloom. She debated with herself, back and forth for a moment before the man with the spears rushed over the railing and moved to attack the men, putting a quick end to them. "Okay." She muttered, pinching the bridge of her nose. "That was bad." She took a moment to hang her head in shame before sighing heavily and quickly wrapping her chain weapon around her.

@Crimson Lion
Abbygail turned her attention to the swordsman and looked over at his handy work. There was something strange. "What did you do them?" She asked, starting to move towards the men he put down. "One second they were fine and then the next they looked like the world was spinning."

@KillBox@Crimson Lion@Shiyonichi@grandia20
"What is it with these guys?" Abbygail muttered, looking around at the limp bodies on the ground. Some of them were breathing, but just barely and for most of those cases it didn't look like they'd be doing it for much longer. "It's like they aren't afraid of death. Everyone of them'll die. Sure, some hesitate but for the most part they'll swarm an enemy to bring them down." She kicked a limp body, not hard, really it wasn't much more than a poke with her feet.

"No. Not yet!" A voice called from somewhere below deck. There was a muffled thud like an explosion from below their feet, not big enough to cause the boat to shake. On the opposite side of the boat, several thin columns of smoke began climbing into the air.

Abbygail's eyes went wide. "Is everyone here?" She muttered, looking at the people who're fighting the Legion pirates with her. "Where's the young woman with the spears?"

@Noodles
As Janet moved further down into the ship, the smell of smoke began filling the air. After each couple of steps she took, if she were to stop and listen, she'd notice the sound of well oiled hinges moving. If she were to turn around she'd notice hidden doors opening and legion pirates stepping out, lot's of them.

@grandia20 @Crimson Lion
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!"

@Shiyonichi @Crimson Lion
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.

@grandia20
"Hey!" Abbygail called back to the man on the boat. "Hurry up. We could use some help up here."


@KillBox
"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.

@Noodles

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.

@jynmi88

Just haki in general. I was referring it as being something from a myth.

Also, I was wondering, how canon is this RP? Did people like Luffy and others from the manga/anime exist?

@KillBox

We're a bit early for haki, even introducing it much less a character having it, but I'm confused. Do you mean its actually haki or just the power from the fruit their sensing?

WE're in a different OP world. Same basic roles but all new characters.

One Piece: The Journey of a Thousand Miles

@KillBox
Question: as far as your last post, what did you mean by "mythical haki"?

One Piece: The Journey of a Thousand Miles

Oh! We need a cabin boy

@Shiyonichi@grandia20@Crimson Lion

The purple haired woman's head burst forth from the waves like a whale who was testing its luck and realized all too soon that the full air capacity of its lungs was nowhere near what he had expected it to be. Face, pale, she sucked in great heaps of oxygen. "I'm definitely out of shape." She shook her head, still breathing hard. "Note to self, really have to work on my cardio."

"Hmmm?" Abbygail blinked as she turned her attention to the white haired swordswoman. It took her a few moments to realize the person in question was actually talking. So she shook her head and made another mental note to remember not to pay such obvious attention to the woman's thighs. "Friends?" She shook her head. Realization hit. "Oh them. None of us, are exactly friends, I guess, but that's probably not important, right? " She turned her face to the approaching swordsman. "Not long. One of them's already here." She paused to listen to the man introduce himself and explain his comrade was on the way, but the man's friend arrived before she could respond.
"You." Abbygail sighing, and telling herself to count to ten. "I'm already not a fan of."

****
Before she could continue the men on the boat above them started shouting, briefly, before several men started firing, strangely enough though, none of their shots seemed aimed at the gathering forces beneath them.

@Noodles@KillBox
One of the legion pirates coughed as the smoke from the destroyed part of the ship choked his lungs. He pulled up his mask and looked past the quickly approaching pirates, to some other pirates who were making their way to the ship via the sky. His eyes went wide and he slammed the mask back down over his face. "Crap!" He shouted. "Hey guys, we've got some more of them coming this way." He pointed at the air.

"What the hell is that?"

"Not sure who the first one is, but the one with the explosions coming out her ass is the girl with the spear."

"Don't just talk about it. Fire away. Anyone who has a rifle, let lose. We don't want flyers on the ship, or the whole plan'll go to waste. Take them down."

With that a dozen men with rifles lined up on the part of the ship facing the boat, got into a firing position, aimed and let lose their first barrage of bullets.

@grandia20@Crimson Lion@Shiyonichi
Abbygail tensed and started submerging beneath the waves, but paused when she noted that their enemies seemed to be firing at the last remaining members of their newly assembled party. "I guess now's our chance to get on there." Smiling, she dug her sickle into the side of the boat and began climbing up. "So let's get to it."
