I'll be going on a two week vacation starting tomorrow and don't know how often I'll have Internet access. Thank you for your patience. I'll try to be more regular when I get back.

For the sake of remaining hidden, Handel had kept his ear to the ground regarding information concerning bounties and bounty hunters. When the eavesdropping woman turned around, Handel realized that he had already made a stupid mistake because he recognized her as Eva Solkreuz, an up-and-coming bounty hunter he had heard of and seen posters of. He was about to make a run for it when she asked him about the fruit vessel. Her greater interest in the ship rather than in him suggested that either the marines had not publicized his bounty for security reasons, or Miss Solkreuz wasn’t very good at her job.

Playing it cool, Handel replied, "Yes, as a matter of fact, I am headed over there," wondering what about this merchant ship drew this hunter's interest. "Do you like fruit?" He asked, as he began to make his way over to the ship. He couldn't see behind the large woman at who she was talking to, but he hoped it was the fruit merchant whom Handel hoped was looking to take on more hired hands or stragglers.
Throwing my interest in here. DOn't have any ideas for twists yet but I'll add anything if I think of it.
OK, I posted, Handel thinks Eva's a creeper right now.
"This ship seems to belong to a fruit merchant," Handel thought to himself as he approached dock 13, noticing crates of fruit. A very large woman appeared to be conversing with someone from the ship. From her attire, Handel could only assume she was being hired to protect the shipment from pirates, though pirates usually had no interest in fruit unless the crew happened to be suffering from scurvy. Well, if they were hiring bodyguards, Handel figured he could try his hand at becoming a defender of fruit too, anything to get him off this island and as far away from Ricden as possible.

Handel passed by some barrels before stopping in his tracks. He turned his head to the side, confirming what he thought he saw. There was a woman crouching behind those barrels, staring at the merchant vessel. Handel didn't know why, perhaps his curiosity got the better of him but he was compelled to ask, "Umm...what are you doing down there?"
Agni, I can have my character run into yours, although that might start a fight depending on how public Handel's 5mil bounty is. As a warning, my next post may be a bit delayed though due to it being a bit busy at home right now.
It's just been you, me and Nobodyman123 for a while.
Don't worry, we're not going very fast.
"Hey, did you hear? Red Lightning's in town."

Near the docks, the seedy bar full of scum, scoundrel and miscreants went unusually silent for a few moments, the utter silence kept at bay by the seemingly clueless musician playing his accordion in a corner of the pub. The low muttering resumed as pirates, rebels, and bandits picked back up their conversations of unsavory business deals, murders, thefts and other acts of crime and random violence.

"Wonder what he's after?"
"Probably something big."
"Any big bounties come in to the island recently?"

The musician played a sour note and was subsequently booed off stage. He paid the barkeep for his room as well as the bar's share of his earnings.
"I'm leaving today, my ship's come in. It's been a pleasure doing business with you," the musician said expressionlessly.
The barkeep grunted, "You were a lousy performer anyways."
The musician smiled, that was the best compliment he's had all day. The musician went to his room and began packing his stuff, filling one massive wheeled trunk that was mostly taken up by his equipment and musical instruments. Another case stood by the side, a bass case. "Well, Handel," the musician said to himself, "it seems they've caught up to you." He took one long look at his marine commander's jacket before putting it away and, binding the bass case to the trunk, he dragged the setup out of the bar while a disgruntled pirate threw some food at him for his previous shoddy performance.

Handel thought that Marine HQ must have a sense of irony, sending a previous subordinate to capture him. Handel had known Captain John Ricden, as Lt. Commander Ricden, before he got the moniker of Red Lightning. Handel had been Commander then, but that was all in the past when he still believed in Absolute Justice. He made his way to the docks. He had to find a ship that would take him away inconspicuously and avoid marines. Maybe a harmless merchant's vessel.

Its kinda cool because gravity can bend even light so i could possibly counter him.


Wait, why did I forget your power? *Karate chops self in head*
He may be a bit stronger than most captains ,but I don't really mind. I'm just trying to think of counters. Like, can Eva be harmed by lightning if her body's turned into air? If not, then creating a vacuum is sufficient to stop electricity (not that creating a vacuum is easy, mind you). Also, since my character was a marine commander and then joined CP1, maybe he should have a bit of rokushiki training as well. Although Handel is technically able to launch a sonic wave with his vibraiting sword/bow, creating a 'false rankyaku'. Well, the fun part of One Piece is having a simple, seemingly innocuous theme or power, and coming up with novel and surprising ways of using it.
