@Ira Any chance we can get a roster update in the OP?

Zepp Kisaragi

Drum Island, Muron Prison
@LokiLeo789

“No need to be so formal, pal. I ain’t quite as uptight as some of the other stiffs in here.” Zepp clapped the guard on the shoulder and turned his attention back to Xerxes. There was definitely something different about the man’s demeanor. Though, whether that was on account of Zepp’s only interaction with the prisoner being in the midst of battle or some more peculiar reason was ultimately unimportant to him. If anyone could see the Marine’s eyes, they might have caught them rolling as Xerxes waxed poetic about time and the afterlife. At least his predilection towards speeches hadn’t changed at all. “Well, at least you’ve come to terms with your next destination. Though, I’m not sure whether you’re gonna get an enjoyable experience out of it.” Zepp retorted as two guards passed by him with a suit prepared for the prisoner. Sure was a quick retrieval, huh? Barely any time had passed since Zepp heard the soon-to-be dead man make his final request.

“If I didn’t know any better, I’d think you were trying to pull a fast one on me.” the Captain remarked as the two guards that had entered began to undo Xerxes’ straitjacket. Moving closer, Zepp took hold of the cuffs and slapped the seastone bondings around one of the man’s wrists, allowing him, begrudgingly at least, to put his new tops on. “You make any sudden moves and I execute you right here. I’m sure I won’t hear many objections on that front.” he whispered into Xerxes’ ear, his facial expression in stark contrast with the gravity of his words. The newly appointed Captain of the 99th held the back of the prisoner’s neck as if he were picking up a naughty cat, watching his every move as he got his Sunday best on for execution day. He had considered tearing the suit to bits as soon as it’d been brought over, but decided against it. Ripping up a two-piece suit was kind of a petty jab in light of the situation surrounding Xerxes’ crimes.

Once the outfit change was complete and the prisoner’s bindings were once again secure, Zepp let go of the back of the newly-dressed Xerxes and chuckled. “Picked a hell of a time to decide you want to look fancy.” he snarked, nodding at the guards to start moving. The hour of the execution was already drawing near….

Ehh, what does Rayne care. He gonna be looking sexy in that suit for his exicution anyway. Is Zepp gonna watch his guy get dressed? You know he gonna need some help getting that straitjacket off an into cuffs so he can.

@LokiLeo789

Knowing this particular prisoner, he'll probably have to, objections to letting him get a snazzy suit at all aside.

@RyoRyoRyoken
Aww ya, Xerxes/Rayne got the looks now, baldy don't work.

@LokiLeo789

He's already gotten used to calling him "Baldy" by now. It's probably gonna stick forever.

Zepp Kisaragi

Drum Island, Muron Prison
@LokiLeo789 @Renny

Straightening the black tie around his neck, Zepp looked out from his position outside of the Muron and breathed a sigh, the cold giving his exasperation physical form in condensation. “Sure is awful cold in comparison to the East Blue…” he remarked, crossing his arms over his chest. He had been promoted to the rank of Captain of the 99th Division, an event that wasn’t met with quite as much ire as his previous promotion to Lieutenant Commander. Frankly, however, he was a bit annoyed that the higher-ups had heavily insisted on enforcing “proper dress” onto him. As such, instead of his comfortable track jacket and jeans, he was now wearing a burgundy suit and dress pants, topped off with a Justice coat. Of course, he also wore a new Marine cap to replace the one that had been damaged a month ago.

The newly-appointed Captain wondered what the previous Captain of the 99th, Freyja, could possibly be up to. She had always seemed like she had been phoning it in for quite some time, so it wasn’t incredibly surprising that she would resign after being put through the situation with Vice Admiral Marxo. But what was she going to be doing with her life going forward? Zepp shook his head as he spotted a ship heading towards the island. From what he could see, it certainly didn’t look like one of theirs. But, at the same time, it’d be a bit hasty to assume they’d be pirates, right? Considering that the former Sunny Massacre Pirates’ captain actually a Marine, there wasn’t much chance that they’d have allies coming to their rescue. Then again, it wasn’t like they were the only prisoners here. Just some of the new blood. “Ah, well. We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.” he muttered, turning back to re-enter the prison, with no resistance from the guards. Today was the day that Xerxes, the massively destructive masked man from the month prior, was to be executed. And Zepp was going to at least try a little bit to make sure said execution would be a success.

The Captain made his way through the prison complex at a casual jaunt, hands placed in his pockets.
"A black suit."
A familiar voice, albeit with a noticeably different tone, stated from within the cell. Zepp stopped walking and turned to look over the guard’s shoulder as he addressed the man inside. “Well, well, Baldy. It looks like you managed to grow quite an impressive mane,” he remarked, regarding the prisoner through his closed eyes.
“Shame that you don’t have much time left to enjoy it.” he added, deciding that he’d make a point to accompany Xerxes to the execution block when preparations were complete.

The prison is on Drum Island. So the prison is in one of the Drum Mountains. So can it be a level system like Impel Down, maybe...9 levels instead, and the worst of the worst in the top. We can call it, Impel Up.

@LokiLeo789

Somebody boo this man!

One Piece: Revolution(Closed)

@Arakadin Nah, most of the Marines qill be on Drum Island. And Xerxes and Jackal, since they'll be imprisoned there. Everyone else is pretty free, though the Red Hoods are slated to some how break da boiz out.

One Piece: Revolution(Closed)

@LokiLeo789 To be fair, Xerxes probably blew all of them up.

Zepp Kisaragi

Conomi Island, East Blue
@Hillan @Pacifista @NachoBachoPacho @dragonmancer @LokiLeo789

"Alright, so Marxo, their captain, was actually a vice admiral in disguise, so uh, we won!"
It was amazing how easily the words left the once-unconscious Lieutenant’s mouth. How long had he been waiting to let that cat out of the bag? While Zepp’s expression remained the same, one couldn’t say the same for many of the other Marines who had managed to hear the news. Faces twisted in anger, disbelief and all other sorts of emotions. A massive amount of people had died today, and it turned out that this was all some sort of elaborate plan? It was impossible to blame them for being angry. They had every right to be. But what was it that prompted the secret to be revealed? As far as anybody here was concerned, the Sunny Massacre Pirates were still small-time. And a crew of four, at that. So, what was Marxo trying to accomplish with this endeavour? Because, from where everyone else stood, he hadn’t done much else other than enable the slaughter of innocents and Marine personnel.

“So, Lieutenant Kahurangi…. How long had this information been in your possession for?” Zepp inquired, voice taking on a cold tone despite the smile on his face. The Marxo situation was out of their hands for now. But it would help to know just how much they could really trust Anaru. Of all the people here, Zepp was surprised to see Anaru was keeping secrets. Not that he, or Johnny for that matter, were any better. The gorilla certainly seem much like the type for subterfuge, so what were the higher-ups thinking when they entrusted said information to him anyway?
“You do realise that this doesn’t make the situation any better, right? Sure, we nabbed a few pirates, but in the end, we lost. And the people of the Conomi Islands lost too.” he added, reminding the hulking man that they had essentially exchanged three pirates for the lives of hundreds of their own.

@Renny @Ira
I figure it'd be good to get some of the Marines' reactions to the Marxo reveal out of the way briefly before the timeskip happens. After all, it's a big slap in the face to their hard work attempting to defend the isles.
