(Dang, so you've been waiting for me? I'm sorry!!! >.< )
The rose stars struck the mast where Scarlet hid, unharming her. Sauri glanced at Shotoro, who was running back towards the shore. She had half a mind to take him out right there, but he wasn't her concern. She needed to get the subject and bring him back to Adram. She threw herself into the air and landed back onto the busted vine. She wouldn't be able to pull anymore fancy tricks, but she still had her staff and bow.
The Clone watched her, his eyes filled with anger and the desire to fight. "Get over here and fight me!" He yelled at her. He stood in front of the mast, unconsciously protecting Scarlet from danger.
"If that is what you wish.." Sauri pulled out her spear and leapt towards the ship. The clone was in her sights, but it was clear to her that this wouldn't be an easy fight..
~
Kasopp froze up at attention when the captain spoke to him. "Uh.. yes sir! What am I good at? Well, if you're in the looks for a good sniper, I'm right up your ally. However, if not, I can clean the deck pretty well too." He joked.
~
When Sora and her backup revolutionaries finally reached the weapon stores, she reached out her arms and stretched. "We're finally here? Dang, it feels like we've been down here for weeks.." She sighed(Haha, cuz I was gone for weeks.. haha..ha_). She spotted Ari and scowled, crossing her arms. "Is he still here?... I thought he would just send a messenger to report to me as per usual."

It's fine Affy!}]
Sanji: I'm down for that]]
Ayame heard a deeper voice calling over to them and turned around to see Tetsuo with Calli trailing behind him. Breathing out a sigh of relief, she moved closer to them after deciding they didn't look like marines to her. "Yes, actually, my cousin is trying to get to Reverse Mountain," she explained.
~~~
"Uh, he's mentioned some grudge against the Strawhats. One of his earlier ships got caught up in one of their fights and destroyed, and he's dead set on the idea that it was intentional," Kyoden told her, shaking his head. "It's ridiculous if you ask me."
~~~
Scarlet poked her head out from behind the mast, her heart rate more stable. She wore a serious expression now, there was no way she was going to let this kid fight on his own while she cowered in fear... what kind of pirate king does that? She had dropped the anchor so Shotaro wouldn't have to worry about them sailing away, but at the same time that meant that Sauri could easily drop onto the deck. Unsheathing her sword Scarlet stepped up beside Affy, "I know it's rude to intrude on someone's fight, but I just couldn't stand by and do nothing."
~~~
"A sniper eh?" Jarret scratched his beard and studied Kasopp. He let out a low chuckle and slapped a hand on Kasopp's shoulder. "We don't have one on the crew yet, welcome aboard!" he said loudly, then turning to Jax. "So, what are the damages on my ship?"
~~~
Ari was speaking with one of the soldiers when he noticed a ship approaching. He narrowed his eyes and once he recognized Sora standing on the deck he began to walk toward the ship as it docked. "It's about time they got here," he murmured.

"Ayame don't forget we also need to go pass you know what usland," Samantha reminded her as she saw Tetsuo, and looked away.

The clone glanced over at Scarlet before shifting his gaze over to the navy ships that had begun forming around the gulf and cutting off the way to the open sea. "I'll take care of the navy.. Do you think you can handle her?" He asked Scarlet.
Sauri had also noticed the ships had begun formation. "Finally.." She muttered then brought her attention back to the boat. She scoffed when she saw they were ready to fight. What were they even fighting for? It was pointless. "Do you honestly think that a little girl and an abomination in a little boat like that are a match for the Don Quixote pirates and the navy?" He called down. "It's pathetic."
~
"Aye Aye sir!" Kasopp saluted before letting out an internal sigh of relief. This gig was way better than being in that rowboat by himself.
Jax had been looking around the ship while the others were talking, going over what was wrong with it, how old it was, and calculating the build and the easiest and most quality way of making repairs. He was snapped out of focus when the captain spoke to him. "Well she's in pretty good shape overall I'd have to say. If you have a good shipright on your crew, other than the mast damage and a few loose boards, I'd say she'd be good to set sail... eh... probably by this evening tops." He explained.
~
When the ship docked, revolutionaries started making their way off the ship and into the area to help with the weapons siege. Sora lazily stepped off the ship, looking around the area with her hands in her pockets. "Eh.. not a bad place to store this kind of stuff I guess.." she shrugged. She made her way over to Ari and looked around. "So you got a report for me?" she yawned, stretching out her arms

(Hey. No idea where I left Joyeuse other than her at the port, so...)
Joyeuse had noticed a disturbance. She started to walk over when something caught her eye. "Huh," She bent down, and examined the swords that were on the ground.
Kana looked up, seeing Sora. Oh, it's just her, She thought, before leaning back and closing her eyes again. The medic preferred not to care about authority figures, especially the ones that happened to be who she obeyed.

Hi!]] Gonna be poofy, doing homework]]
"I think we can try," Scarlet said, looking up at Sauri as she approached the edge of the deck. She had the sword gripped tightly in her hand and she slammed one foot up onto the railing of the ship. "Well? If you're going to attack then go ahead, I'm more than ready," she called out with confidence. The whole situation was starting to feel awfully familiar to her, as it resembled the event that not only got Scarlet her current bounty but ended up destroying almost her entire crew at the time...and she wasn't about to let that happen again.
~~~
Jarret nodded, his eyes drifting over to the mast while Jax spoke. "And how much would I need to shell out to keep ye on board as my shipwright?" There currently was no shipwright in the crew, they all either took turns doing a poor job of patching things up or waited until the next island to hire a temporary one if there was one.
~~~
Ari gave a curt nod as Sora approached. "Yes, all the objectives have been met except for moving the weapons out. Kana took care of the patients and we swiftly dealt with the ruler and his entourage in the main palace. I have not yet heard whether the Army has someone in mind to take their place, so the palace is currently empty," he reported, pulling the bandanna down from over his mouth.

"Very well then." Sauri whispered, spinning her spear in her hands. "Then I wish you luck in your journey to the afterlife." She announced before their weapons clashed together on the ship. She needed to make this quick, Adram would not be happy with her if she allowed the subject to escape.. she she had too much at stake..
~
"Well I'm sure we could work something out. I've been needing something a little more steady since business has been fluctuating here." He crossed his arms. "Some grub, a place to sleep, and some parts money and I should be just super!"
~
Sora had her hands behind her head lazily, looking up at the sky and nodding slowly as she listened to the report. "All right all right." She yawned, waving her hand to stop him from reporting anymore. "Great job, wonderful, awesome report. Let's just get to work on getting the weapons are out." Sora hated listening to reports, but as chief of Staff it was her job to listen to it whenever she went on missions and then just repeat it back to the boss. It was repetitive and she would much rather just get the job done and write the boring stuff down. "As for their lack of leadership, make sure to leave a couple squadrons for added protection until they're able to get their leadership roles together."

Sorry I poofed! My computer started doing updates, and when that finally finished it went and shut off while I was in the middle of typing >_> ]]
Scarlet gritted her teeth and pushed against Sauri's spear with the blade of her sword. "Sorry but I don't think I'm ready for the afterlife just yet," she said, giving a small smile. With a heavy push she attempted to throw Sauri off-balance before jumping back. Scarlet then sprang forward with her sword held low, though she was aiming to hit Sauri's arm.
~~~
"I think I can give ye that much," Jarret answered after spending a moment thinking. He went over the number of crew members including the newbies that had joined today and nodded his head. "Aye, I can definitely do that."
~~~
"I will make it happen," Ari answered, hiding his distaste for Sora's attitude. He turned to the soldiers gathered nearby and motioned to the crates of weapons. "Alright! Let's get these weapons on the ship!" he called out, his voice echoing through the area. The soldiers started moving, and one by one carried the crates on board the ship. As Ari watched he glanced sideways at Sora, "For future reference, I would appreciate it if my missions were in warmer climates."

The navy aimed their cannons towards the ship, blasting cannonballs one by one. The clone was ready though and blew himself up like a balloon, the cannonballs bounching off of him.
Sauri caught her move just in time and twisted around her, jumping back onto the edge of the ship. She shot an annoyed glance at the navy ships. Of course they didn't care she was in here, all they cared about was that stupid clone. She pulled a vine from her hand and whipped it towards Scarlet, the long whip wrapping around her multiple times. "I'm sorry it had to end this way." She said sorrowfully to Scarlet.
"Scarlet!" The clone yelled down. He was worried for his new friend, but was unable to do anything because the cannonfire wouldn't stop.
Sauri pulled out her spear and ran forward, ready to strike her heart when suddenly..
budda budda budda.... budda budda budda...
A transponder snail began to ring. Sauri came to a sudden halt, inches away from scarlet's face. When she looked to her hip and noticed who it was, she instantly jumped back and answered it. "Lord Adramelech?"
(Sorry if you didn't want Scarlet caught, I just thought it would be really dramatic for her to almost get sliced up and then... interruption! XD.)
~
"Super! Aye Aye Captain bro!" Jax laughed before gathering up his tools. "Well let me run and get some things from my shop then let's see what we cant do about that mast."
Kasopp glanced over at Jax, nodding lightly. So it seemed they would be crew mates after all. The man seemed like a pretty good ship right, so he really didn't mind it.
~
"But I thought you loved snow? After all, that IS why I told the boss that youd be perfect for this mission." Sora smirked and winked, before walking past him. "Besides, I'm not the one who makes the rules. Talk to the boss if you really want a change in atmosphere."

That's totally fine! More drama is always good xD]] I even had a thought earlier, what if Scarlet, Affy, and Shotaro did get caught by Sauri and taken to Adram? ...the only problem is, it would then take even longer for the Lightning pirates to get together xD]]
Scarlet attempted to wriggle out of the vine, but it was wrapped too tightly and there was no way for her to reach her arm around and cut it. When she looked at Sauri next the only thing she saw was a sharp blade headed straight for her and nowhere to run. Her heart caught in her throat and she held her breath. Then the snail rang. Oh man, that was close. When the spear stopped she nearly melted with relief and took the chance to do the only thing she could think of - roll. Sure, it was embarrassing and probably looked hilarious to everyone watching, but she did it anyway. Scarlet took a quick moment to situate herself in the right direction before laying flat and rolling herself to the clone. "I know you're defending the ship right now, but is there any chance you could get this vine off me?" she called up to him, keeping any comments about his balloon shape to herself for the time being.
~~~
"Aye, go ahead," Jarret said, motioning with his hands for Jax to hurry off. "Be quick about it, I can see the rest of my crew coming back," he added, his eyes on a group of surly looking men pushing their way to the ship.
Kyoden looked away from his conversation with Kaori for a moment and noticed Kasopp looking like he had nothing to do. He waved, hoping to catch the sniper's attention.
~~~
Ari let out a sigh and rolled his eyes. "Oh yes, definitely," he said, his voice filled with sarcasm. He followed her a ways before walking over to grab a couple crates himself. "I only figured you would be seeing the boss before me, which is why I decided to tell you first," he said, then walking to the ship to drop the crates off.

(For some reason it wouldnt let me log in last night)
The Clone was still caught up in making sure the boat wouldn't be destroyed. He glanced over. "I'm trying!" He called down to her just as another cannon ball bounced off his belly.
Sauri tightened the vine's grip on her, still not finished with their business. "I was just in the middle of retrieving the navy experiment." She explained into the snail. The voice from the other end was quiet, she could barely hear him herself let alone the other two on the boat. "What?! But sir, I have them right here! I just need another- Of course sir." Her voice was strained, like she was forcing herself to speak to him nicely. "I.. I understand sir. I'll be there soon." And with that, the snail went back to rest and she put it in her pocket. She glanced over at Scarlet and released the vines that held her. "It's your lucky day it seems." Her spear dissolved into nothing before and stood up on the edge of the ship. "Looks like the navy's your only problem... That is.. for now." She added before leaping off the ship and onto her vine, running back towards the island. "Why did Adram make me halt my mission? I almost had them.. Oh well.. I really didn't want to kill her anyways..." She thought, glancing back at the ship which was still holding off the navy boats. "Good luck.. I just pray you won't run into the Donqixote Pirates again.."
~
"No problem! See you guys in a SUPER second!" And with that, Jax leaped off the edge of his ship, making his way back towards his shop to collect his things.
Kasopp noticed Kyoden waving at him and he curiously walked over. "Hey, whats up?" he asked
~
"I'll try to make a mental note for the future.. that is unless I forget." She shrugged, her tone suggesting she wasn't going to try too hard to remember his request. She picked up a crate and started towards the ship. "So what did you do with the corrupt leaders? Kill them? Capture them for questioning?" SHe asked

D: I had that problem a couple weeks ago]]
Scarlet looked down at her arms and legs as the vines disappeared, and watched Sauri as the girl left the ship. She thought it was odd that the girl suddenly gave up, but was shaken from her thoughts when another cannon shot rang through the air. Apparently the marines were not planning on giving up just yet. Scarlet ran back to the middle of the deck where her sword had dropped and picked it back up. "Ok, I can help you deal with these now!" she called to the clone.
~~~
"Just finished showing around another newbie, looks like you're not the only one looking for a ride," Kyoden said as Kasopp approached, motioning quickly to Kaori. "Is the shipwright coming along too?"
~~~
Ari paused after dropping the crates. Questioning. That's what he forgot. "The target was in no mental state to get any proper answers from him. I dealt with him quickly, all that is left of him is the outfit he was wearing," he answered in a low voice.

(Yeah, it kept telling me the page wasn't responding and I was worried the website had been taken down)
"Whered the leaf girl go?" The clone wondered. The cannon fire had stopped momentarily, giving him a moment to deflate. "I was gonna fight her!" He complained, crossing his arms. He then shrugged and faced the navy. "Oh well, we can fight all these guys! Hey, wheres the long leg guy?" he asked, looking around.
~
Kasopp nodded. "Yeah, seems like it. That makes me a little more comfortable knowing theres going to be a shipright on the crew." he replied, rubbing the back of his head. "Hopefully this boat can get me where I need to go."
~
Sora sighed, shaking her head as she dropped the crate off. "It's always dissolve first and ask questions later with you, isnt it? Well, did you at least get a few higher ups to question? Scribes, right hands, anyone?" She asked. "The boss was hoping to extract information out of them in order to get an idea of where these weapons came from."

Same! I was so happy when it worked the next day xD]]
"The 'leaf girl' got a call from someone and just left, not sure where she went exactly. The other guy went to get my other sword... if I had known that girl was going to up and leave, I would have gone to get it myself," Scarlet said with a sigh. "Well, at least there's one less thing to worry about now."
~~~
Kyoden chuckled. "Hopefully. Maintaining the ship was a mess before we got here. You'd think pirates who've been sailing for years would at least know something about fixing their own vessel," he said. He then looked out at the ocean. "I gotta admit I feel the same way. The captain doesn't know this yet but I don't plan on staying with this crew forever,: he added quietly.
~~~
"I'll have you know we did interrogate quite a few individuals," Ari stated, giving Sora a pointed look before turning to walk off the ship. "We only found out that the weapons were acquired via an underground trade, no specific sources were named. Either they were lying to save their source or the weapons were not purchased directly from someone."

"Well now we can deal with these guys!" The clone rolled up his sleeve and cracked his neck. "This is gonna be fun!" He laughed.
~
"Well I certainly don't plan on it." Kasopp crossed his arms, looking out towards the sea. "He looks like a pretty tough guy, but not the kind who would be king of the pirates. He doesn't have that kind of character. I want to be on a crew that gets me all the way there..."
~
"Well they must be hiding something. They gave us the most obvious answer in the book and if we don't get a name, we can't really go anywhere from there." She crossed her arms, pondering what to do next. "Did you arrest any of them? Or are they blended in with the desert by now." She asked

Hi!]]
I changed Scarlet's background and family a bit >:} ]]
Scarlet grinned. "Yup!" She glanced over her shoulder at the shore, eyes searching for Shotaro. She hoped he'd be able to get back alright. A cannon shot rang out and brought her attention back to the marine ships. Following the trajectory of the cannonball, she ran up and brought her sword straight down the middle, cleaving it in half.
~~~
Kyoden snickered. "Yeah, they're all pirates just to be pirates, for fun. Which you can tell from just how excited they are over a simple treasure map," he said, rolling his eyes. That was only part of the reason though, Kyoden was starting to get fed up with the fact that he still hadn't been promoted past cabin boy. These pirates were only a stepping stone for him.
~~~
"There may be some still hiding out in the city, we left fairly quickly after dealing with the leader in case someone had been sent out to get rid of this evidence. Kana and the rest of the soldiers took care of the guards in the palace, and I didn't see ny left alive," Ari answered. A slightly mischievous grin appeared on his face and he looked at Sora. "This is what happens when I get assigned to cold islands like this, I get everything done without asking questions because I want to leave so badly."

"Woah!!! That was so awesome!!" The Clone exclaimed, his mouth gaped open in awe and his eyes turned to stars. "I wanna do that too!!" He laughed before climbing up the mast. He held his hand up and sideways like a sword and when the cannon ball hit it, instead of cutting it, the clones hand just stretched backwards with the ball before slingshotting it back, hitting one of the ships and causing an explosion. "Well that didn't cut it in half.."He pouted.
~
"Yeah.. I want the real deal. Someone I can stick with to the end." Kasopp crossed his arms. "I mean, I wouldn't want to be a captain, that would mean more responsibility on my part." He chuckled. "But to be apart of a good crew.. Thats what I want."
~
"Being cold doesn't give you an excuse to put time over quality. The boss is expecting names, and you can be the one to explain how all the information got turned into sand." She scoffed annoyedly. "With your luck, you may become the new revolutionary king of cold missions." She smirked.

Scarlet laughed while lifting herself and her sword back up. "Well, you definitely have the arm strength, but you also kinda need a sharp sword." She looked out at the number of marine ships remaining after the clone's redirected cannonball hit one of them. "That was pretty cool too, I could never do something like that," she said, looking back at the clone.
~~~
Kyoden nodded and turned his attention to the gangplank as people's voices steadily grew louder. It was the rest of the crew returning from stocking up on supplies, most with their arms full of whatever they needed. His head dipped as they passed by, his eyes following them below deck. Last on board was the cook, pulling a few large crates of ingredients behind him. "Oi, captain! The crew's back, when are we setting sail? I'm getting bored of this island!" he called.
"As soon as the shipwright gets back, you want us to get shipwrecked out there?" came the reply.
~~~
"Oh wonderful," Ari remarked, letting out a long sigh. "I will be sure to give the boss a full report, including the part where they all refused to give any names." He went over to one of the last remaining crates by the far wall and decided to pop it open to check the contents, which should have been done much sooner, just to be sure they were in fact carrying smuggled weapons and not something completely irrelevant. After taking off the top, something on the underside of the wood caught his eye and after flipping it over discovered the symbol of the Don Quixote pirates painted on. He turned and held it up to show Sora. "Does this help at all?" I hope that's alright... I figured since Adram's in the underground market and all xD]]
