@NachoBachoPacho He can, it just hasn't been a useful part of his mastery of his fruit yet. But expect assist arms in the near future lol.

”It seems our inmate has managed to pick up quite a few new tricks somewhere. Perhaps he’s a bit desperate?” Mumyoumaru thought as his attack met air. Through some peculiar mechanism, Xerxes had managed to increase his speed and reactions to a greater degree. How troublesome. So much of what had happened wasn’t in the reports. But such was combat. Not everything could be accounted for on paper. As Xerxes reached his back, Zepp also heard the click of a finger a trigger through the rippling whipcrack of the explosive man’s supersonic punch and the hum of electricity arcing over the surface of Xerxes’ skin. Zepp didn’t even turn around, instead reaching a hand around an snapping his fingers. ”Shigan: Firew-” as a spread shot of air bullets flew out at the snap of his fingers, Zepp felt a sharp pain run through his body as he was starting to be pierced with an innumerable amount of…. Needles? Turning his crimson eyes towards Bogard, he took note that the boy was holding his hand out like he had earlier. However, once the young man attempted to block Zepp’s Rankyaku by sacrificing his metal prosthetic, Zepp’s clothing visibly spiked outwards, starting to pierce him deeper, but apparently straying away from the Marine’s vitals due to a break in the Sunlit Gladiator’s concentration. Zepp’s plan to bounce Jax’s gunfire between his Shigan air bullets to pierce Xerxes’ extended arm was a bust due to his own short concentration break, instead sending the bullet careening off into the distance without a target. Knowing there wasn’t a lot he could do at this point, Zepp took a deep breath. ”Tekkai”

Gritting his teeth and tightening his muscles, Zepp managed to stop the hundreds of spears his clothing had become from skewering the entirety of his insides while also making his exterior incredibly hard at the moment Xerxes’ punch connected. There was a blast of wind as the Captain of the 99th Division was launched off of his feet with extreme speed, but he had managed to block most of the force of the attack’s potential damage to his person. As Zepp was sent flying, he pondered what the heck the Red Hoods’ captain’s ability could be. The power to manipulate fabrics? The idea that the boy might have had to be fought stark naked to avoid becoming a pincushion was an irritating thought. He would have to think more on it later, but it at least confirmed that it was a power Bogard possessed, rather than a property of the coat. ”Ah, the cavalry’s here. I suppose I should lay low now.” Zepp remarked as the whirlwind-like form of Marxo appeared to clash with the souped-up Xerxes. As he once again reverted to his typical appearance as friendly “Zepp Kisaragi” of the 99th, a shadow loomed over his airborne form. It was Anaru….. And he was descending towards him with a rather large cone of stone, apparently unable to see past the makeshift spear as he used his Nail Guns to boost himself into the ground. With a sigh, Zepp poked the tip of the stone spear as it came towards him and melded onto its surface, crawling along it until his two-dimensional form eventually found a cozy hiding place in the furry back of Lieutenant Kahurangi. As a result, the only trace that Zepp was even there was the rather impressive blood trail that stained the snow on the flight Xerxes sent him on. ”I’ll just take a quick breather on Lt. Gorilla for a bit.” he thought as the hulking gorilla man smashed the “Nail” he made and created a wide area of destruction, only to be shown up by the sudden, surging growth of an absolutely massive tree. If Zepp didn’t know better he might have thought that he’d lost the Devil Fruit ability lottery. Kids sure were growing up fast these days.

Finally back home from work, so I'll start actually working on a post for Zepp. So much happened within what was probably just a few seconds IC, haha.

@RyoRyoRyoken oh man, somebody else here watches/reads My Hero Academia, it has to be my favorite show of the year so far (and I read the manga before the anime came out, so I got some hipster cred.) and yeah, once I realized how over the top, but heroic Anaru was I thought to myself "Yeah, I gotta reference All Might."

@NachoBachoPacho

Hero Academia is easily one of the best new Shounen manga to come out in a while. It executes a lot of the classic tropes extremely well. And the manga's still gearing up for even crazier arcs going forward.

And Rayne is like...a none psychotic version of Madra.

Marxo is Orochimaru

Drik is...young Sakura

Zepp is...meh

Anaru is Guys mind with Chojis body.

@LokiLeo789

The funny thing here being that Zepp is the only actual ninja on this lineup.

@NachoBachoPacho Anaru showing up and giving the patented "All Might Pre-Asswhooping Speech". Ayyyy.

One Piece: Revolution(Closed)

Well, goddamn. I'm at work, but I'll see if I can push out an appropriate response to this gangbang.

-Supersonic Punch
-Portal arm gunshot
-Impaled with his own snazzy suit

Sounds totally manageable! LMAO

Thanks man, that means a lot.

On a side note: once @CannedBread makes his post, Anaru can fly in and go..Ape *Laughter, applause.* so hang in there @RyoRyoRyoken

@NachoBachoPacho

I hope he comes quick, at least so that Zeppo's wardrobe doesn't end up backfiring on him.

Ol' Mumyoumaru picked a bad day to wear a shade of red. He got lucky the first time since he was already avoiding getting immolated by Rayne. Depending on how Boggy decides to deal with the Rankyaku headed his way, the lack of concrete info on the kid's ability on the Navy's part is gonna bite CP9 man in the ass.

@LokiLeo789 It's been a while since I've read the manga, but I've watched a few clips from the latest anime iteration. Why do ya ask?

Zepp Kisaragi?

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

The only ones who hadn’t made a decisive move at this point were Dirk and Jax, the marksman. So far Zepp didn’t hear the sound of incoming bullets, so he presumed that the sniper couldn’t get a proper bead on him due to the erratic nature of his movements and Zepp’s close range to his allies. Noting this for the moment, the Marine was more intrigued by Xerxes’ counter to his projectile Shigan. “Hm. Well, that’s a little impressive, if a little annoying.” Zepp muttered as Xerxes snapped his fingers. In an instant, Zepp felt the air around his body heat up and in that moment before the explosion went off, he left behind another “Cicada” shell. When Johnny shared information with him on the man’s capabilities, techniques like this hadn’t come up. Meaning that he somehow came up with this during his stay in the Muron. If Zepp were the type to be concerned about that sort of thing, he almost might have been jealous of the versatility of the explosive man’s Devil Fruit ability. ”Looks like I’ll need to take this more seriously.” Zepp thought, eyelids lifting to reveal vibrant crimson eyes as he left more afterimages in his wake. From what Zepp could tell, the target was doing a good job of reading the speed of his movements and reacting accordingly. Or, at least, accordingly enough to try and ignite Zepp in the short instances between his Soru. Glancing over at Bogard, who had managed to avoid getting snapped up by Fadel’s venus flytrap, he saw that the boy had his hand raised towards where the site of where at least one of Xerxes’ detonations had gone off. It was a curious action, since according to the surviving Loguetown marines, the boy manipulated his signature red coat to dispatch them. So, what kind of fruit did the boy possess? And was it the boy who the fruit’s power emanated from or had the coat “eaten” the fruit, with Bogard acting as its handler?

The answer would have to wait, since Xerxes’ barrage of explosions made it more than a little counterproductive to try and combat anyone but him. Zepp waited for Xerxes to snap his fingers once again and made his move as soon as the explosion went off. To ne sure, the Spark Spark Fruit’s wielder had impressive powers of premonition and impressive reflexes in kind. A month of meditation had done mucb to clear the young man’s mind. Had he chosen to pursue the path of “justice”, he could have been a valuable asset to the World Government. Unfortunately, he was an enemy. A slaughterer of thousands who killed without any purpose but the enjoyment of hearing the screams of his victims. Unfortunately, he had the misfortune of meeting Mumyoumaru this day. The moment the rapid expansion of heat and electricity took place, Zepp burst forward with even greater speed than he had before, avoiding the attack and then moving within melee range. ”Shigan: Oren” Mumyoumaru stated loud enough for Xerxes to hear before his hand moved with incredible speed, his attack appearing like one, but actually being many Shigans at a speed which made them seem almost simultaneous. The first two attacks were aimed at the explosive man’s kneecaps, attempting to take out the option of regular locomotion. Two more were aimed at each of his arms at the elbow to disable the limbs for any avenue of fisticuffs. The rest were aimed at Xerxes’ chest, Zepp attempting to strike at the explosive man’s heart and subsequently four more holes in his chest for each ship he destroyed back on Conomi Isles. An imprint of his crimes back then upon what might be a corpse. Or, in the event that he took this attack and somehow survived through willpower or the Red Hoods somehow pulling off a proper rescue, scars to remind him of his second failure here on Drum Island.

But even in the event that this move would be enough to take Xerxes out of the fight, there were at least four more pirates to deal with on the scene before reinforcements. And with the slight confusion brought by Bogard’s mysterious actions, Zepp would have to proceed with a bit more caution now that the group might not have had to fear Xerxes’ explosions if they got too close and their captain appeared to have some more tricks up his sleeve. At the same time as his barrage of Shigans ended, he jammed his heel into the ground and a pair of Rankyaku “Line” burst forth in the direction of both Fadel and Bogard, the blades of air ripping through the ground and creating a piercing whine as they sailed towards the two young pirates. At this point, all of the pirates here had made their choice. On-the-spot execution was the only option that CP9’s #2, Mumyoumaru, was to pursue. For now, it was a matter of whether he could pull it off before Jackal, or even the mysterious Messenger Bogard and Xerxes had shared a brief exchange about at the beginning of the fight. ”Hm. Now would be a good time for a certain gorilla and scythe-wielding Vice Admiral to show up.” Mumyoumaru remarked aloud, mostly to himself. From his open eyes and the lack of Zepp’s signature painted-on smile, coupled with the drastic tonal shift, it was clear that the one in the middle of the menagerie of criminals wasn’t exactly the man who he was portraying himself as earlier. And, if he had his way, none here would live to tell the tale.
