Tides of a New Era ~ A One Piece RP ~ New Thread! Open!

Marcus rolled his eyes and said," not even on your ship and you are already telling me what to do." Marcus then turned his arms into a drill and had them start spinning which caused a small gust of wind shot out. He did this as a way of increasing the little boots speed so they could reach her ship faster.

Arthur's eyes when wide when he heard her say who her father was. The idea that he was with his the child of an admiral both filled him with fear and giddiness.

"It would be better if you sent us some notice before you did. If another one of the Emperors just shows up coming close to us we are obviously going to go for the worst case scenario and start attacking. It would save a lot of trouble and reduce the risk of either of the crews' members getting injured" Masaki said as he crossed his arms and leaned back against the railing as he used his ability to grab a key out of his pocket before sending over to unlock Shuji's hands. "Honestly, why are the big shots always so dumb when it comes to stuff like this. It's like they live for the fight" he added and let out a sigh

"I'd rather not wear something too flashy. It doesn't suit me at all especially if you look at my devil fruit. Black is the color that suits me most so I'd would prefer sticking to that. Probably the flashiest I'll go with is a normal tuxedo" Raion said "Still don't know why you insist on me wearing fancier clothes. I like to feel free when I move and I'll be too afraid to move too much in it."

Shichibukai
I say go for it! It would certainly be a fun little development~]]
Ooh, he could possibly be of help when a couple of our revolutionaries get captured?]]

Arana's eyes narrowed playfully as she smiled from behind her open fan. "I would never think of sharing that little event," she said to Matogai, sounding not so sincere. When Matogai finished off the sushi, she called over a crew member to take the empty plate away. After her colleague finished speaking, the playfulness in her gaze faded for just a moment but she covered it up with another chuckle. "Of course I don't enjoy being referred to as such a thing," she said. "But as long as I do such simple a thing as attend a meeting now and then, I get to do as I please~ You must admit, they don't call upon us for very much these days."

Shuji sent Tatsuo a look of gratitude as his captain took the handcuffs from his wrists. He took the sake bottles and gave Ursa a nod. "Got it," he murmured. He waited until Raiden had moved over and sat down before carefully placing a bottle in front of the captain. Next he turned to hand one to Masaki, though he didn't make direct eye contact with either man.

Tatsuo just let out another chuckle at the conversation. He sent a look to Raiden before sitting across from the captain and inviting his own crew to sit on either side of him. "Aw, but that way's no fun! Planning everything out's the way of the marines," he said with a smirk. "Raiden, you really need to teach your crewmates to loosen up a bit. The unexpected-ness is what makes it fun!"

Raiden kept a stoic face as he poured his cup full of sake. He took a long sip, and set it down quietly. "As much as it pains me to admit, I may agree with Tatsuo on that point," he murmured. He glanced sideways at Masaki and a wry grin appeared on his face. "After being with me for so long, I am surprised you are not used to it by now."

Sabaody

Kyoden had a hard stare set on Calli. Thankfully it seemed like no one around had heard the conversation, or if they had they were choosing to ignore it. He narrowed his eyes. "If you're family is so connected to the marines, why are you out here where all the pirates are?" he asked, crossing his arms.
"It's more exciting here...?" Calli offered as an answer. 
"Just to be sure, you said your dad isn't on Sabaody right now... right?" Scarlet then asked.
Calli shook her head. "No, though he is on his way home right now."

Buster Call

Melody ignored Marcus' comment and kept her eyes on the air above them. Several times a cannonball came close to the little boat, but they were low enough that they were mostly avoided. "It just occurred to me, if you have any information on the Revolutionary Army from the brief moment you were working with them, it may lessen your punishment," she murmured.

Hayle held his spear close as Kuren disappeared before his eyes. His eyes narrowed with the growing intensity of the snow and his gaze searched the swirling white mess for her reappearance. The next jab came out of nowhere in his peripheral vision and all he managed to combat it with was a block with the handle of his naginata. He held it against the force from the fan, arms starting to shake a little as it inched closer. His hands sparked bright with Electro and he channeled it through the spear, hoping it would go through the fan as well.

Ari had tried to contact Marcus several times, but after receiving no answer for the umpteenth time in a row he decided to give up on the bounty hunter. People's lives were at stake, he had no time to waste. His body dissipated into a cloud of sand as a cannonball hurtled through his midsection. In the distance he could see his fellow revolutionaries struggling against the marines on one side, and as for the larger fleet from headquarters it looked like they were on the way to losing at least one ship to cannonfire. He clicked his tongue as another cannon ball came his way. His hand turned into a blade of tightly packed, fast-moving sand. As he whipped it downwards it struck the cannonball and cleaved it in half, along with the ground beneath it. We need to get rid of the cannonfire... which means getting rid of the ships, he thought. He held a hand out and in his palm started growing a small tornado of sand, which gradually grew larger from the sand on the beach.

Elegant Pirates

Adeline looked at Raion and nodded slightly, then turning away with lips slightly pursed. "Well, if you wish then I suppose sticking to black won't be a problem," she said. She ran her fingers along the row of hanging coats, eventually stopping at the end and picking up a large black and grey military-style coat. "Here, what do you think of this?" she asked, showing it to her companion. She looked around Raion to ask for her brother's opinion, but instead found him asleep while leaning against a different coat rack. "Olivier! You're doing it again!" Adeline snapped.
Olivier stood straight up with a jolt. "H-Huh?! Sorry!"

(Yeah, cool ^^)
(I could definitely see him doing something like that lol. Though, I'd he'd want to do that, he'd need to figure out a way to not get fired)

Matogai grunted, obviously annoyed by her tone. He breathed out “would you really call it a simple meeting? It's more like them gauging which ones of the Shichibukai are more loyal to them. The only meetings that matter are the ones they threaten us with, where they threaten to take our titles away if we don't go.” Matogai squinted up at Arana, letting out a sigh “This meeting better be important or I'm jumping ship”

Ursa sat down on at the table on the side of Tatsuo, handing one of her bottles to someone else and keeping one for herself. She let out a laugh to their conversation “Yeah, only marines would be so uptight. What can you expect in those uniforms. Seriously, how boring is that?”

Because of the metal blade on the fan, the Electro was conducted and traveled through the fan. Kuren quickly dropped the fan, not wanting the electricity to touch her. She quickly shot her leg up into a kick, sending Rankyaku at him while jumping back.

(Part of me really wants to throw Bucky in somewhere, but I don't know where XD)

i'll post the nakazo and paloma fight tomorrow though some more ships are going to get destroyed in the process or at least heavily damaged)

Shichibukai
True xD]]

Arana shrugged. "The more loyal we appear, the more free reign we get. I don't see a problem with it," she said. She leaned over as one of her crew members came over to relay a message, nodding slightly here and there. As the pirate left them, Arana returned her attention to Matogai. "I've been informed that we are nearly to our destination. There really would be no point in jumping ship now, especially since I have the remains of your raft attached to my ship," she said.

Wano

Tatsuo snickered and then nodded to Ursa. "I can't imagine how they can fight like that, but hey, guess it explains why I've come across so many pirates that are ex-marines," he said before downing his entire cup.

A sound came from Raiden that could have been either a chuckle or a grunt, but the look on his face gave no hint as to which one. He glanced at Masaki after taking a long sip of sake. "Be glad you are not on this oaf's crew, the cleanup would be much worse," he murmured. "The ocean is like a wild beast, Masaki, it is unpredictable and cannot be tamed. The same can be said of the pirates roaming this ocean." He seemed proud of that answer, though it was no apology. His bright eyes flicked back to Tatsuo. "Now, you have managed to draw out the conversation this far. I'm assuming you will be asking for something, since you brought out the alcohol. Out with it."

"Alright, alright, you caught me," Tatsuo said. He downed another cup of sake and let out a satisfied sigh. "First things first.... See, there's this marine base that sprouted up near my territory - and it's a big one. They've been sending their little minions into my waters a lot too. I wanna destroy it, but I'll need help. Naturally I'd give ya a slice of the ocean it's in, whaddaya say?" He looked across the table, and was met with silence and narrowed eyes.

Sabaody

Calli took a step back, almost too nervous to speak. It was only hitting her now whether she should be telling these pirates this information. In fact, she really shouldn't have even approached them considering she hadn't known if they were even friendly or not, but it was the excitement that had driven her to speak to them.
Kyoden crossed his arms. "Well? You forget your dad's name or something?" he grunted.
Calli shook her head and gulped. "His name is Coby. Mom and I last spoke to him two days ago and he said he'd be back at the end of the week I think," she answered.
"That gives us just barely enough time to get the ship coated, right?" Kyoden then asked, to which Calli responded with a slight nod.

Buster Call

Melody nodded as Marcus finished speaking. "I think it is unlikely that will help any," she murmured. Soon they were up alongside her ship and she motioned for Marcus to stop. Her arm formed into a hook and chain, and she used that to sling herself back on board. 
"Melody! You've returned! And not a scratch on your flawless skin, as expected!" Dash sang, hopping over to greet her with a salute.
"I've brought the turncoat bounty hunter. Go and get the handcuffs," Melody ordered, ignoring the captain's enthusiasm.

Hayle jumped into the air, but the rankyaku was virtually invisible and hard to estimate. He let out a low growl as the attack slashed through his left shin, and winced upon landing on the deck again. He wobbled for only a moment and tried to push the pain from his mind before launching himself at Kuren. Electro was charging through his hands and spear, and he darted at her with a flurry of stabs and slashes.

Olivier stepped over to the pair, inspecting the appointed coat. "Hmm, I don't know... I feel there may be another one that would suit him better," he murmured. He chuckled at his own terrible pun before moving on to another coat rack. "Perhaps one without sleeves?" he suggested.
"And where do you see any fitting that criterion?" Adeline retorted. "It is hardly a coat anymore at that point!" Though flustered, she stopped and turned back to Raion to look him over. "Although I do admit that would look good on him..." she murmured.

Marcus pull up next to the ship and followed after her onto the ship. Once up there he asked," are the cuffs really needed Melody, don't you think that if I wanted to do something then I would have done it before going into the lions den?"

Bleh sorry I haven't replied yet, I will have everything up tomorrow!!]]

Shichibukai

Arana let out a soft snort at Matogai's comment. "If you decide to go through with that, I would appreciate it if you drowned somewhere far from my ship. I don't want the blame to fall upon me or my crew, you see," she sent back. With a glance toward the back of her ship she smirked. "Oh, I wouldn't dare touch it myself, that is what I have a crew for. But you know, spare wood for ship repairs at sea goes for a nice price~"

~~~

Wano
I have a few ideas as to where this plot could go, if it seems like I'm stalling it's because I'm trying to decide... sorry about that xD]]

Tatsuo laughed at the various reactions, being always the optimist. "Of course! What would send a stronger message to those blasted marines than two emperors giving them the beating they deserve!" he exclaimed, with glances to Ursa and Raiden. 

"Do you have any idea as to how that will affect the balance of power out here?" Raiden retorted. "As my friend Masaki here is saying, the marines have thousands of soldiers and weapons at their beck and call." He let out a sigh and lightly pinched the bridge of his nose. "Although I will admit the idea of sending the marines packing is slightly intriguing." To be honest, it was actually rather exciting to the captain, but he would never admit that in front of the other crew.

~~~

Buster Call

Hayle let out a hiss as Kuren evaded him yet again, however he did notice she was fighting more defensively now. He came to a halt on the middle of the deck, gritting his teeth to bear the pain in his leg. With the next flurry of snow rushing at him, he sent Electro charging through his spear and quickly spun it as a sort of shield once more. It kept a lot from hitting him directly, but he was still pushed back. If she kept this up it would be incredibly difficult for him to get a counterattack in anytime soon. A cannon ball hit the side of the ship in the middle of the onslaught of snow, causing him to stumble even further back. He let out a low growl as he could feel the ship getting heavier in the water. 

Melody was already receiving reports from a couple other marines on the ship, and so Dash came moseying over to Marcus. "I agree it's not all that necessary, but Melody here is one for following orders and regulations to a T. It'd be best if you just put them on for now, she might loosen up later," he told the bounty hunter.

Elegant Pirates

Gonna wait for *ᴿᵃᶤᶰᶜᵃˡˡᵉʳ*]]

Kana couldn't wait any longer. The boat still wasn't close enough to any other ships or the land, but at this rate it might never be. So, she ywent with the first thing she thought of. She took off, ignoring the battle, and launched herself off the ship and towards the island.

---

Kuina snorted. "We'll be fine!" She exclaimed. "There's just enough time, and he won't know we're here. We could just cause trouble right before we leave, and they won't be able to chase us for a bit." She grinned. "So, like I said, fine!" She was used to admirals and such, so she wasn't bothered.

---

Rodas gasped. "I know exactly what he needs!" Turning, the man started flipping through the coats, looking for what he new would be perfect. Finding it, he pulled out what he found, grinning. The clothing he pulled out was a black vest that had a long tail, one that went to the back of the knees. "I am certain you would look positively dashing in this."

Masaki sighed once again "Neither of you are thinking right no. If they are purposefully entering an Emperor's territory then there could be a possibility that they have something to subdue one. The Marines are extremely crafty and even though many of them are weak, they are resourceful and shouldn't be taken too lightly" he said "Have you or any of your crew thought that up or is this the first time they are hearing of it. Because I would like to imagine that the people on your crew aren't complete idiots especially if we are going to be working together" he said

Raion scowled when he saw Rodas pick out the vest. He had to admit that it might look good on him though he wouldn't say anything about it since he didnt want to give Rodas any satisfaction and hoped his captain's wouldnt either but he already suspected that they would end up buying it

(gdi everytime i try typing up the nakazo and paloma fight my computer crashes or it has restarted so sorry that it will be a little short)

Sorry guys, I went out of town and my computer refused to connect to the wifi there, then when I got back it completely died on Monday x_x But it's back to life now!]]
Nariku The Avaricious : Ah good point xD Welp, drop him in wherever you like~ I'm down for the shichibukai thing, or our little group in Sabaody is gonna be getting chased by the marines pretty soon and then has a Davy Back Fight in their future after that, so if that sounds fun there's that too xD We could save the shichibukai situation for sometime in the future?]]
Lioncl : No worries! Take your time! ^^]]

Shichibukai

Arana let out a sigh. "Oh please, anything but that," she replied, unable to hide her smirk. "That would completely ruin all the trust I've built up with the government over the years... however, I am honored you would choose my humble little ship as your resting place." She gave a chuckle, and glanced over her shoulder as the ship slowed to a halt. A few higher ranking marines stepped onto the ship and approached her.
"Arana... and Matogai?" The one in the lead asked, peering around her.
"That is correct."
"If the two of you would come with me, your ship... Ships? Will be taken care of."
"Matogai's raft remains are attached to my ship. There was a bit of an incident."

Wano

Ok so ideas:
-Raiden and crew agree to help under condition that Tatsuo and crew become subordinates  instead of just getting the territory, then Tatsuo and crew would either:
a) disagree and potentially fight Raiden and crew like the marines want
b] agree for some reason and go on a base destroying adventure, then maybe have a fight between crews down the line?
-Raiden and crew decline leaving Tatsuo and crew on their own, then Tatsuo reveals his true intention: he wants a piece of Rai's territory because it's where he and a lot of his crew grew up --> Fight!

Any opinions?]]

Sabaody

Kyoden glanced at Kuina and actually nodded in agreement. "She's right, we have time. It'll be fine," he said, looking to the others.
"Exactly, we just set off right after pulling something then *bloop* under the water we go! Easy peasy," Scarlet chimed in. She stood her lance on the ground and tapped her fingers against it. "Besides, it's only three days, what could possibly go wrong?"
Calli looked at the group and began to smile a little. "I like you guys," she said with a soft laugh.

~~~

Buster Call

Hayle's attention flicked momentarily to Kana as she left the ship. It was a good decision, if the ship went down she'd be sunk along with it. Turning back to Kuren he bared his fangs in a low growl, it was time to get this woman out of here before it was too late. After a few jumps he had scaled the main mast and with a few sparks his hands and spear were glowing with electro once more. With a yell he jumped and launched his attack at Kuren.

Dash snapped the cuffs on and went to hand the key to Melody. "The deed is done, admiral," he reported. "What shall we do with him now?"
Melody slowly turned and looked between the two of them. Marcus had seastone on, so he wouldn't be able to use his abilities. She sighed. "Leave him be," she finally murmured.

Elegant Pirates

Adeline's eyes narrowed slightly as she watched Rodas pick something out, curious as to what it would be. She let out a soft gasp once she saw the vest and hurried over to get a closer look. "Why I think it's perfect!" she exclaimed. "You have exquisite taste~" she then said to Rodas before turning to her brother and Raion. "What do you think?"
"The tails are a nice touch," Olivier noted. He glanced a couple times between Raion and the vest before speaking more. "Plus, the lack of sleeves would also keep your arms free," he said to his friend.

(We can save the Shichibukai for later lol, give the group some breathing room at least. Though, I kinda want Bucky to also participate in that Davy Back Fight. He doesn't have to if you guys don't want him to)

“It's the least I could do for laughing at me and stealing my food” Matogai said, giving her a sarcastic bow “my hope is for you to be chased like the dogs you are.”
He stood up straight when the high rank marine soldiers walked onto the ship. He left the talking to Arana, mostly because he didn't feel like it. When she mentioned his raft, Matogai nodded “if I can get an invincible raft, that would be great”

(I don't see them agreeing to join Raiden, so I guess there's just going to be a fight XD)

In one of the empty groves of Sabaody Archipelago, Bucky was hammering away at a small boat. A month earlier, his previous ship had been destroyed by a storm, so he needed to make a new one. He was mostly fine with it, but gathering enough parts from the shops with the limited amount of money he was able to make was proving to be a difficult task.
When he pounded the last nail in, Bucky flopped down on his back with his arms spread out. He ran out of materials again and his small ship still wasn't finished. He rubbed his face with his hands, exhausted “ugh, I'm so darn close!”

Kuren was just about ready to attack when her attention drifted to Hayle. She redirected her attack at the mast, but he was moving fast enough to avoid it. His spear managed to go through her side, but her Logia fruit made it so the spear didn't actually hit her. What did hit her was the electro, which traveled through her entire body, paralyzing her.
