Zepp Kisaragi

The frank coldness of the Red Hoods’ captain was a little surprising coming from such a brightly dressed and featured pipsqueak, but Zepp supposed kids were growing up fast these days. The Marine felt a light tremor under his feet and shifted a glance towards Fadel before turning his attention back to the now aerial Bogard. Unphased, Zepp took a step forward as the blonde-haired teen began his assault.
Soru: Cicada
At the moment a flytrap burst up from the ground and Bogard’s foot met with the Marine’s face, the two young pirates would learn that what they were both attacking was an afterimage. Zepp’s movements were untraceable as, with unspeakable speed, he made his way to Bogard’s back and became two-dimensional on his body, working his “shadow” up along Bogard’s cloak until he reached the top of the boy’s scalp. Then, like the birth of wise Athena, Zepp pooped out from the top of the boy’s head and stomped on it, sending the boy flying down into the jaws of Fadel’s giant flytrap all in the span of a fraction of a second.

As the Marine sailed through the air using the Red Hoods’ captain as a stepping stone, Zepp pulled out a pair of flintlock pistols and fired two shots at Dirk and two at Fadel as he began to land. Once his feet touched the snow, he then discarded the two firearms and flicked his fingers at Xerxes, employing the use of Tobu Shigan "Bachi" to send an air bullet from his fingers that potentially had enough force to puncture the man’s spark field with speed to spare to puncture Xerxes himself. Or, at least, that was his hunch.

Presently unsure of whether I should wait for the whole of the Xerxes/Rayne-Red Hoods Provisional Alliance to mount their attacks, or frum up a post before they could get the chance.

Well, im back and there is so much to read....

We've been busy bees, my friend.

If nothing else, Zepp's going to gamble on the idea that Xerxes (or, rather, Rayne, but Zepp wouldn't know that, eh?) learned about the importance of legitimate alliances during his month in the Muron. Zepp's skill/powerset makes him pretty dangerous against groups.

Zepp Kisaragi

Just as he’d gotten done warning the white-haired youngster, two more men came to join the three and add to the steadily rising tension in the air. What caught Zepp’s attention most was the short, blonde-haired boy in the red coat. Ah, now things were starting to make a little more sense. The Red Hood Pirates. Zepp glanced over them to get a look at their numbers, making sure to account for the event of the rookie crew having increased their membership. The Marine scoffed a bit as the crew’s marksman, Jax Farseer the deserter, whispered into the crimson-clad captain’s ear. Did he think that Zepp wouldn’t be able to catch such a display? Or was he simply confident that the group would have no trouble dealing with him? Kids these days.

The blonde-haired boy spoke up, clearly not fully aware of the gravity of the situation. Or, much like the marksman who had made a point to get a “safe” distance away, he simply figured that taking this too seriously was beneath him The foolishness of youth was remarkable. “Well, I’m sure you’re here on very important business, young Bogard. As for the town being on fire, well…. That’s pretty obvious now, isn’t it? If I wasn’t willing to give you kids the benefit of the doubt, I’d have thought that was you lot’s doing. But blatant acts of terrorism doesn’t quite seem like the Red Hood Pirates’ M.O.” Zepp responded, making it abundantly clear that he knew the other three’s identities in addition to that of the prisoner’s. In the month since their big debut in Loguetown, the rising rookies had committed quite a bit of mischief. Enough to land them a hefty bounty individually, let alone the bounty for the whole crew combined. Next, the familiar white-haired young man spoke up, essentially reminding Zepp of things that he already knew.

“Well, as you can see, I’m in the middle of pursuing the guy who made the hole in the Muron. You’ll have to forgive me if I have to let the prison staff handle all of the other prisoners. Especially considering that buddy here was supposed to be executed today. Finishing what was started seems like an appropriate course of action.” he chimed, the coldness of his words cutting even through the chilly air of Drum Island. Upon further observation of the young man, Zepp remembered where he had seen him before. While the young man was, in fact, affiliated with the Red Hood Pirates, Zepp also knew of the young man known as Dirk Messir from his connection to one of his associates. Battler. The boy probably didn’t know Zepp… Or, rather, Mumyoumaru, on account of the fact that he made a point of staying out of Batller’s business to attend to his own. “I might be able to overlook your presence here if you can forget whatever business you have on this island and leave. Call it a small favour. The children are our future, after all.” the Marine continued, pulling the lid of his hat down lower. Of course, he didn’t exactly expect the young pirates to take his kind offer. After all, they had him outnumbered now, didn’t they?

Taking a quick mental inventory of the group once again and remembering the fact that Jax had decided to take a proper vantage point, Zepp noted that, in the event that Xerxes decided to ally with the Red Hoods in taking him down, he would have to be careful of how big and where he would direct his pyroelectric blasts for fear of friendly fire. The same went for Jax if he were to attempt to snipe. That left Dirk, Bogard and Fadel. And unless Dirk had picked up an absolutely monstrous amount of martial skill from his time under Battler’s “tutelage”, the young man would be a non-factor. With all of this in account, Zepp was sure that he could more than handle the situation until help arrived, even if he decided not to immediately slaughter the Red Hoods simply for interfering in the apprehension of the criminal.

Samehana

Black Shark

Elfen Island, Grand Line
@Hillan @Arakadin @j8cob @Pacifista

The Fishwoman continued her casual jaunt until she arrived at the west side of town. Perhaps it was due to the greater concentration of people around, but the wannabe pursuers had broken off from the chase, deciding wisely that making a scene wouldn’t be to their benefit at the moment. It didn’t take long for her to find the popular Valiant Angler. The sign certainly was big, bearing a logo of an angler fish wearing a plumed knight’s armet and the establishment’s name painted in a bold red. The building itself was fairly large too, and was painted in a similar red to that which made up the sign’s letters. Samehana waved to Freyja as she also arrived outside of the Angler, apparently bereft of anything in the mood for something tasty as well. ”Glad you could join me on this little adventure, Frey~.” she chimed, smiling at the green-haired woman as she approached.

Upon entering the Angler, Samehana and Freyja were greeted by a sea of tables occupied by all manner of folk, many of whom turned their eyes to the doors as the two strangers walked in. As expected from the size of the building, the interior of the tavern was spacious. And more well-kept than many other taverns she’d been to on her travels. One might have even thought it to be a tad fancy, frankly. Before the two could even take another step, a young woman with shoulder-length dirty blonde hair (which formed a rather impressive ahoge) and bright blue eyes skipped over to meet the two. ”Welcome to the Valiant Angler~. I’m Tabitha and I’ll be your server today. Follow me and I’ll find you two a nice table!” she greeted, filled with the bubbly, sparkly energy of youth. Tabitha swiftly found the two travelers an empty table with chairs to spare. In fact, there were just enough for Sancho, Church and Spiril to join the two if they so chose. Parking herself down on a nicely-cushioned chair, Samehana received a menu as soon as she had placed her posterior in the seat, as Freyja would too.
”You two travel far to get here?” Tabitha inquired as Samehana searched for something to her liking. Judging from what she could tell of the town’s population and the looks that she got alone, it was pretty rare that they saw Fishfolk roam through these parts. And Freyja, for all her lethargy, gave off a sort of hardened, well-traveled vibe. Throw in cowboy Church, the noble-looking Sancho, and wide-eyed Spirillum and the Golden Fleece as a whole had obviously come together from all manner of places.

”Sure did. Figured we should stop by and fill up before we explore the rest of the town.” Samehana responded, noting the curiosity painted on the girl’s face. She couldn’t have been much more than seventeen years old. ”Hehe. I figured as much. You two look like you’ve seen some pretty cool stuff. I’ve lived in this town my whole life, but I wanna go out and make it big as a famous pirate hunter.” Tabitha explained, unsolicited by either of the two. Samehana smirked and cast her eyes towards Freyja for a moment before turning her attention back to Tabitha.
”Oh, is that so? My friend here used to be something of a pirate hunter some time ago.” the Fishwoman stated, nodding her head over at Freyja. Immediately, Tabitha’s eyes took on a sparkle as she turned to focus her attention on the green-haired woman.
”For real? Any tips you could give me? This town’s got a lot of wannabe bounty hunters, but they’re all small-fry.” Tabitha asked, practically forgetting the fact that she was supposed to be the two’s waitress. Meanwhile, Samehana hummed as she took her sweet time pouring over the menu.
”Ooh, smoked boar sounds pretty good right about now.”

Zepp Kisaragi

Drum Island, Muron Prison
@LokiLeo789 @Renny @BCTheEntity @Tmitche23

Still in hot pursuit, Zepp noted that Xerxes had yet to slow down. It was clear that the target had an impressive reserve of stamina, but the Captain was far from a slouch himself, contrary to what many would say. Without much warning, the leafless trees around him splintered and fell in his path as Xerxes let off another shockwave in the wake of his increasing speed. Sighing, Zepp simply leapt over and through the destruction without losing much speed. However, his attention was caught by the sight of smoke billowing from a nearby town, which left Zepp a tad confused. Xerxes wouldn’t have had any time to create any real destruction in the town at the rate that the chase was going, so who could have done it? Thinking back to the mysterious individual that caused the current game of cat-and-mouse to be possible, Zepp shook his head as he considered the idea that there may have even been more than one person who had come to Drum Island to break the two former Sunny Massacre Pirates out of the Muron and create a disturbance in the town to act as a distraction of sorts. Zepp would trust that the members of the 99th Division he had brought with him would be able to handle any firefighting and/or evacuation efforts without him.

Zepp had almost lost sight of the explosive man for the moment he’d been lost in thought, but managed to catch up and hide at a distance from which he could watch Xerxes’ movements for a moment. If nothing else, it would have possibly allowed confirmation on how much his flight had exhausted him. The Captain raised an eyebrow as he watched Xerxes begin to interact with a tall, white-haired boy… who appeared somewhat famliar to Zepp for some reason. “I wouldn’t exactly bet on that, pal. But you can save me a lot of trouble by coming with me to finish up your execution.” Zepp remarked as he appeared, practically out of nowhere, a few feet behind “Xerxes”. He was panting, as if he had become incredibly exhausted from the chase that had just about reached its conclusion. “I’m getting old, pal... *huff*.... You really made me chase….*huff*... You.” he complained, taking a fake deep breath. Zepp kept an eye on both of the young men, though Zepp was not nearly as wary of Dirk as he was of Xerxes. “Probably a good time to walk away, kiddo. Things could get a bit messy.” Zepp remarked, attempting to get the white-haired boy to leave the area in the event that Zepp’s apprehension of the criminal yielded a bit more environmental destruction than the Captain might have hoped.

It's a good thing Zepp ain't the only Marine on the island right now, because this is looking like a pretty hectic situation.

@BCTheEntity Safe to assume it maaaaayyyybbbeee has something to do with the currently unidentified Devil Fruit Dirky-boy's lugging around?
