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

Bass glared after him before turning to continue along his way as well.

I have no idea how to bring in Ivory help))

Sorry I couldn't get on sooner >_<]]
Hmm...]]

Scarlet was just about to leave the bakery when suddenly the noise level outside the building rose significantly. She took a peek out one of the windows and saw men and women scrambling to get out of the street. They all had fear on their faces, and she even recognized a few from wanted posters. She raised an eyebrow and, as if he had read her mind, Kyoden burst into the shop panting from the run over. "Marines, huge ship just docked," he said to her questioning look.
Scarlet's eyes widened. "We need to get back to the ship then... some of us have bounties here," she said, sending a sour look Kyoden's way.

Debating whether it'll be my admiral or not... I think I'll go easy on them this time xD]]

Scarlet and Kyoden both watched Kuina run out of the store and then realized they should be doing the same thing. They both took off for the docks. "Jarret'll wait for us right?" Scarlet called to Kyoden as the two of them shoved their way through the crowd.
"He wouldn't leave his own crew behind," Kyoden muttered, several paces ahead of Scarlet. However, they soon discovered that Kyoden's assumption was wrong... completely wrong. The Dark Raider was no longer at the dock, and its black sails sound be seen floating away.
"He wouldn't leave his own crew behind," Scarlet said, mimicking the other pirate's voice. "Well now that we're stuck here guess we'll have to hide back in town." She started turning around as marines came marching off the ship. "Like, now."

"What if we stowaway on another ship?" Scarlet suggested. "The ships are closer than the city." She had stationed herself back against a tall pillar that held up the sign for the harbor, peeking out every now and then to see how the marines were progressing. The soldiers didn't look to be in any sort of hurry, but that still didn't mean they wouldn't arrest anyone with a bounty.
"Not all pirate crews are as accommodating to unannounced visitors as the Black Skull pirates were," Kyoden reminded the redhead, glancing at her.
"Hey you never know, there's gotta be more than one nice crew out there that'll give us a lift," Scarlet retorted. "The next people that come through here, I'll ask them," she decided.

"Ah, wait!" Scarlet called, bolting after the twins after they ran by. With the short glimpse she had, she thought she recognized Kuina from the bakery. "Are you guys also running from the marines?"
Kyoden, shaking his head, darted out after Scarlet. He wasn't really sure why he was following her, he was perfectly capable of getting out of the situation on his own. However, as he had brought up earlier he wasn't really confident in the chances of finding another crew to latch onto. "Yeah, let's just yell something like that right in front of them," he muttered.

Before Scarlet could answer, Kyoden butted in with a reply. "Well looks like we're still in the same situation, our ship just left without us," he replied, his voice bitter.
"I really don't think I have enough for a whole ship," Scarlet whispered to Kyoden. "I don't think even the two of us together have enough."
Kyoden shrugged. "If all else fails, we'll threaten the guy or just take one. Doubt he can take on two pirates."
"You're a terrible person," Scarlet muttered, focusing her attention back on following the twins to the ship seller.

Question. The Magma Magma no mi is taken right?)

Exactly ]]
Inb4 the ship seller is also with the marines]]

"Whoa whoa whoa, slow down a bit there young lady," the man said, flipping through a few papers. He lifted up his cap, which had been on backwards, and placed it back on the right way over his dirty blonde hair. There on the front in big blue letters was the word MARINE, and he looked up at the group of four with a crooked grin. "Dragon Fire Kuina, Silent Storm Able, Silver Flash Scarlet, and.... you," he said, speaking the last word with disappointment. "With your bounties, you'll have no trouble paying for one of my lovely ships~"

Scarlet jumped back in surprise, her hand going immediately for the hilt of her sword. Kyoden did the same, but slipped a couple of hidden knives from his clothing. However, both were startled by yet another voice behind them.

"Captain, I believe I've told you to lay off the undercover work. I do not appreciate members of my crew going off on their own with no direct orders from me," a woman's voice spoke behind them. 

"But look, Melody, I've already cornered three. That's gotta merit some sort of praise, right?" the blond replied, flashing the woman his most charming grin.

Melody ignored the younger man's comment and turned her attention to the pirates. She pushed a strand of snow white hair behind one ear and looked over each of their faces. "I suggest you just surrender yourselves, fighting in this situation will only end tragically fro you," she said, marine soldiers lining up behind her.

Whoops I didn't go easy on them  ]]

| The Sea Wolf Pirates| The Howling Demon | Luciano C. Palladino |
| The flag is black with a red wolf skull and crossbones as it Jolly Roger. | The ship is made of black wood with a 'ghastly' appearance. The all the sails are black, the hull is a dark red with a black skeleton holding a lantern with glowing eyes on the bow. | Members:

The marines behind Melody scattered at the burst of flames. The admiral formed a haki-covered shield from her arm but quickly retracted it, the fire getting a bit too hot. "Don't just turn your backs like that, after them!" she shouted to her soldiers.  The marines armed with guns lined up blocking the harbor entrance and fired at the four pirates, avoiding the admiral of course.

Scarlet dropped to the ground the moment the gunfire started, and then rolled until she was directly in front of Melody and so safe from the bullets. "My first marine encounter since returning to pirating and of course it's an admiral," she muttered, unsheathing her sword before charging at the admiral. Sparks flew as her blade met with Melody's metal arm and she was swiftly thrown back. Then, the admiral turned her attention back to Kuina and formed her other arm into a long chained mace. She threw it forward, aiming to slam it down on top of Kuina.

Meanwhile, Kyoden and Dash (the blond) were facing off against each other, neither doing much of anything. "I don't have you listed here... you a pirate?" Dash asked, raising an eyebrow at Kyoden.
"Uhh, no...?" the pirate replied.
"Now that sounded real believable."
Kyoden shrugged. "It was worth a shot."

Kuina's advance caught Dash's eye and he pulled out one of his pistols. He first aimed it right at the girl's back, but moved it just to the side before firing three shots at her. "Not so fast," he muttered, noticing Scarlet making a rush at Melody as well before firing three more shots at the both of them.

"I can handle three pirate on my own, thank you," Melody murmured, giving Dash a look. "You on the other hand should worry about the knife pointed at your back." She gave a hard yank to her arm twirled around the spear, freeing it after doing it a second time. She retracted it and formed the sharp edge of a blade as Kuina approached. She did the same for the arm on Scarlet's side before coating both with haki. The rest of her body took on a silver metallic sheen just in case of any other attacks.

Scarlet clicked her tongue. Ack, she noticed, she thought, glancing at the haki covering her own blade. She had waited for a momentary ceasefire in the gunfire from the lower ranking soldiers as they reloaded before charging at the admiral. She'd never seen Kyoden fight, but felt that he was capable of holding off the captain behind them.

Scarlet had brandished her second sword and her fighting seemed to get a boost from doing so. Her movements were much more fluid as she approached the admiral. However, it still wasn't enough as the marine easily defender herself from Scarlet's attacks blow for blow. Scarlet spun around Melody and feinted before striking at Melody's arm. To her surprise the attack connected and the white sleeve of the uniform was stained red. Her surprise caused a moment of hesitation, and in that moment Scarlet found out the hard way that the admiral had merely allowed the attack to hit. A solid steel kick landed itself on Scarlet's stomach, sending her flying back.

"You three certainly are a confident bunch, thinking you could possibly beat an admiral," Melody grunted, looking down at Scarlet as she crashed into the dock. She tied a bandage around her arm before turning her attention to Kuina. "I suppose it's your turn now," she sighed, folding back her sleeves up to her elbows. She took one hand and flicked it up. The metal pieces holding the dock together detached from the wooden planks. As she clenched her hand into a fist the bolts twisted into sharp darts and flew straight for Kuina.

Luciano dropped his anchor and tied his small boat to the dock. Bring the Howling Demon into habor might draw unwanted attention and he didn't want to be bothered with any Marines at the moment. He came to port to restocked on supplies. After walking outside the dock, about ten minutes after that, he found himself in a busy marketplace. It was the street closest to the dock and the one that bustled with the most activity. It made sense for it to be close to the dock, merchants needed to spend less time carrying their ware that way.

"Wouldn't you like to know?" Kuina shot back, eyes flicking to the ship they had planned on taking. With a beat of her wings, she shot into the air, avoiding the attack. "I'm fine, I've had worse," she answered Scarlet. Taking a deep breath, she breathed fire again at the admiral.

Able twisted, blocking the bullets the captain shot at him. Without missing a beat, he raised his spear to the dark, cloudy sky, and caused lightning to shoot down onto his spear, channeling it and shooting it towards Dash.

(I think I need to mention that Able is the better fighter of the twins...)
