Spoiler:

"WHAAAAAAAT!?"

The marine commander almost fell back in his chair from Anton's sudden reaction, the red haired marine looming over the desk across from him, eyes bugging out of his skull. Anton's reaction to the news had been just as unexpected to him, as the news itself was to Anton. And why not? Anton certainly hadn't been expecting it.

They were told that a couple more upcoming marines had been assigned to Anton's crew, which was why they were here. Julius was outside, waiting for them to arrive, leaving Anton, Yumiko, his first mate, and Celia, his staff officer, in the base commander's office, when this massive bombshell got dropped on them. "I-It's just like I said. Orders from the top." he said, a little unsure how Anton was going to react. "I-I figured that, but REAR ADMIRAL!?" Why was he so shocked about this. Most marines would be overjoyed. "Congratulations sir."

Celia was just as stunned. "Sir, we're grateful for the news, but may I ask why? Yes, Anton's highly capable, but it wasn't so long ago that he was promoted to captain. Why the sudden jump to Rear Admiral?"

The commander gave a small, sheepish smile. "Bit of an interesting story actually. You remember Commander Maddox, right?" Anton's expression almost glazed over. "How can I forget? He was the one putting me through training. The man who put me through hell for months on end. He just would not stop. He wouldn't let me stop!" The commander realized he needed to move on quickly. "Erm, yeah. And after the incident which gave you your Devil Fruit, you were moved into advanced training. Fast track to command if I recall."

Anton paused and blinked. "Wait, command? But...I was made a petty officer." The commander nodded. "Erm, yeah. That's where things get interesting. Turns out Commander Maddox had been intentionally holding you back, blocking any promotions for you. Kept saying you "weren't ready". Honestly, with your record, you should have made captain a long time ago. They were only able to force the promotion through recently because Maddox couldn't prolong it anymore. Well, cue the incident in Loguetown, and the higher ups suddenly took notice to you. They figured it was time to fast track you into the Rear Admiralty."

Celia blinked. "Wait, so Anton's own superior officer was stonewalling his advancement the whole time? That snake!"

Anton flopped back into his chair, looking up at the ceiling. "You know, I will never claim to be an ambitious marine. Rank never really bothered me that much. Granted, I didn't see myself as a good marine to begin with, so whether I was promoted or not was irrelevant." he said calmly, "So...can someone please explain to me...WHY DOES THIS PISS ME OFF!?"

Behind the freshly appointed Rear Admiral, exactly three steps behind in fact, stood a stern figure. Yumiko still carried the deep wounds of her recent failure. Heavy layers of bandages peeked from beneath her concealing outfit. Her arms were wrapped up to the wrists. One of her eyes was hidden behind the white bindings. Yet again she was defying the doctor’s orders to simply rest and recuperate. Despite her rough condition, however, she stood unwavering and retained an air of icy calmness. Like a frozen lake on a winter morning. Silent and serene... Outwardly anyway.

Behind the steely gaze, the sam... The swordswoman was constantly trying to silence the whispers of shame. Not being able to drink made it worse... So she channeled her entire focus on protection duty. Self-imposed. Ever since she had been able to walk, she had shadowed her superior’s every step. During daily routines... Training sessions... Meals... She even had briefly insisted on bathing alongside him, just in case. Luckily, the suggestion had been swiftly withdrawn when she realized it might give her superior the wrong impression. So she had chosen to stay behind the door instead. While it had been peaceful lately, she refused to drop her guard. That was exactly what their enemies wanted. They wouldn’t get the drop on her ever again.

Though Anton took the wonderful news somewhat... passionately, Yumiko allowed herself a small smile. The cold chime of her voice drowned beneath all the shouting. “Congratulations, Master.” She offered the appropriate amount of applause as well. Five claps and no less. As outlined in the Marine Code. This promotion was only further proof that her master was worthy, not that she needed it. He had proven himself on the battlefield. She was glad beyond words that she could serve as his weapon.

Meanwhile, the Petty Officer herself had not received any accolades or official recognition. Of course not. She had nearly gotten herself killed through her own ineptitude. If anything, she could count herself lucky her only punishment had been writing ‘I shall not disobey my superior’ a thousand times. ...Also self-imposed. She had, of course, suggested a traditional ritual seppuku. Several times in fact. But for some reason her master opposed the idea vehemently... he hadn’t given her any sort of punishment for her failure either. Local traditions were so very strange.

When a suitable silence presented itself, the swordswoman cleared her throat. “Sir, if I may speak freely, I believe thy sensei must have his reasons.” Her hand reached for his shoulder, offering gentle comfort. “Our superiors are infallible. We simply must have faith.” She underlined her unshakeable conviction with a firm nod. Of course, her faith applied to Anton as well. In her mind, his word was absolute. ...Except when he implied he might be anything less than a shining example of leadership. That was utterly untrue, so... It had to be a test, yes. A test of her judgement. “Perhaps thou are angry because thou are receiving glory thou never sought. Might thou consider it frivolous?” Hm, yes, that was definitely it.

A Surprise Assignments [Minion Island: Contestation Arc - Part 1] Bd88950f823fd3d6d331a39b9cc2db1138d96807_hq

The crack of dawn was a wake-up call for most of the Marine force on the island. If they missed the call, they would be made to never miss it again. It was to get marines accustomed to waking up early or in the middle of the night should something happen. Ryoma was already used to waking up at the crack of dawn due to his heritage. His eyes sharply opening up showing his brown eyes, it took a bit for his eyes to get used to the darkness but once that was achieved he was up and ready to start the day. Tying his boots and heading outside to the courtyard where dummies were practiced on and other sorts of training were held. Ryo would greet the marines who were guarding in the night and they would greet back, respect was a powerful thing to grasp from other people. Ryoma was known as quite a dependable person and a resilient fighter.

Ryoma would walk over to one of the longer training sticks that were basically a bo staff and would grip it firmly to test its strength. He would listen closely to hear any cracks or inconsistencies within the wood was smirk when he heard nothing by solid wood. "Now dat's what I call wood!" Ryoma would swing the wood at his side to get his juices flowing, finally putting the wood in front of him to begin strike when he heard someone call out to him. This usually meant Ryoma was on early parol duty, which Ryoma didn't mind but wasn't fond of. The samurai would turn around a solute his superior awaiting his 'at ease'. The man would finally at ease Ryoma and would smirk, knowing that this news would incur a reaction in Ryoma. "Ensign Ryoma, you have been assigned to a new destination. A new crew to be precise!" The man would hand Ryoma the paper that told him where to go and who was his new superior.

Ryoma with a smirk on his face that maybe not even his mother could love wouls solute and would quickly begin gathering his things. His items weren't many but they were bulky and caused a bunch of noise that woke up the other Marines sleeping in the room. Ryoma would begin laughing as he was finally able to get off his rock and start making changes in the world. Quickly making his way down to the docks where he would begin to search for the ship he was given the description of on the paper. Getting excited at some of the ships that he saw but once he started to piece it together his smirk would turn in a frown. This....ship? Was what he was going to be stationed on? He needed to conduct a bit more than just a little work. After walking up close to the ship Ryoma would inhale greatly...


"OIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII"


Ryoma would bellow a yell so loud he thought he saw the ship shake.
" Heh Heh, dat should get em up and out er' "

Oh, how much Anton and Celia wanted to correct Yumiko about that. Hell, Anton himself was their superior and he was far from infallible. Anton was still amazed that he had gotten this far, and even now, recieving this promotion. The marine commander looked back and forth between the group, still trying to wrap his head around everything. "Well, anyway. You've been promoted to Rear Admiral. Congratulations sir." He gave the hapless Rear Admiral a salute. There was really nothing else to be done about it. "That being said, there is one more thing they wanted me to tell you."

Anton and Celia blinked, looking over at the commander. For some reason, seeing these two looking right at him made him nervous. "Erm, this comes from Vice Admiral Hornigold and Vice Admiral Raines." Celia thought for a moment. "Hornigold and Raines...wait, you mean from G5?" she cast him a suspicious look. "What does G5 want with Anton?" Anton looked over at her curiously. G5? He hadn't heard of them. The marine commander looked nervous. "W-Well, they're very interested in bringing Anton into G5, and have arranged a mission for him as a sort of, well, evaluation." He took a moment to calm himself, "Anyway, it's an order from higher up. And I'm sure you lot wont have trouble with it."

-----Meanwhile-----

Nobunaga's shout echoed out throughout the shipyard. The shipwright certainly had some lungs on him. But there didn't seem to be any response at all. Had they not heard him? Certainly seemed unlikely.

And then a voice spoke up from behind him. "Certainly a healthy pair of lungs you have."

Standing behind Nobunaga was Julius Black, the doctor of the Guardian Knights. Still wearing his mask, the doctor looked over the samurai. Another member from Wano. An interesting choice. "Nobunaga Ryoma I presume?" the doctor said, "Dr. Black of the Guardian Knights. If you're looking to meet the captain, I'm afraid he," he pointed towards the main building of the base, "Is in there with the base commander. Fortunately, that's why I'm here. I'm here to escort you. Right this way."

And with that, he turned to walk back into the building, beckoning the samurai to follow him.

Since there were no claims to the contrary, Yumiko considered her guess correct. Of course a heroic soul would consider unnecessary glory frivolous. Crossing her arms, she closed her eyes and nodded to herself. As expected of her noble Captain. Hm, or would it be Rear Admiral now? She would have to ask when she got a chance... Catching a certain name snapped the swordswoman out of her thoughts. “Hornigold...? Might thou mean the noble Vice-Admiral Hornigold?” Her usually cold eyes twinkled with child-like wonder when she spoke the name. “‘Tis a great honor. I solemnly swear we shall not let him down.” While she considered all her superiors noble heroes, some were more heroic than others. To think her Cap... erm... Rear Admiral...? ...had gained the attention of the legendary Vice-Admiral... Ah, her heart fluttered at the mere thought and her burning admiration began blazing even brighter.

When a beastly bellow echoed across the area, Yumiko visibly winced. It felt like someone had hit a gong inside her skull... Sensitive hearing did have its ups and downs. Just like having a sharp nose was a pain after physical training. ...And on laundry day. Once the sting subsided, she was wary about trying to catch any other distant sounds. That had come from outside. What manner of monstrous lungs did this mysterious person have anyway?

Hearing a pair of footsteps approaching, the samurai turned towards the door preemptively. One of them sounded much like Julius of Black. She had already learned to recognize the calm and quiet way he sauntered. The other steps, however, were unfamiliar. Much too heavy to be any of her crewmates... Her voice was low, barely a whisper. “Master... That loud shout... Was that someone thou know?” If not... Her gaze grew colder. She already brought her hand to her blade, sliding it just an inch out of the sheath. Ever since the assassin incident, she had been a little... on the edge. Despite her injuries, she was ready to defend her master from whatever was approaching.

A Surprise Assignments [Minion Island: Contestation Arc - Part 1] Tenor

The samurai was taken a bit back. His entrance was a bit ruined by the sudden rush of information that was Anton's actual location. He wasn't embarrassed that he yelled, as no Nobunaga would ever get embarrassed by yelling, but it was a bit awkward for Ryoma. But this person....Julius Black looked very odd to the gruff marine. Mainly his mask, made him look like a sort of monster of one of the multitudes of stories Ryoma's mother would tell him at night to scare him. Of course, they didn't frighten then young samurai then, and they might as well be scared of Ryoma now. Ryoma would almost lurch over Julies, Ryoma's face is mostly covered by the shadow created with the angle of the samurai's head. Now, Ryoma wasn't trying to be intimidating, he just has a hard time meeting new people.

"Nice to meet'cha!"

Ryoma with a small grin would follow the masked man into the building where Anton was held. His muscle-toned body causing his footsteps to echo in the empty halls. Until he finally reached the door, almost flinging it open Ryoma would lower his head as to not hit his face on the post above the door before finally entering the room. "I take it you're Rear Admiral Anton right?" Ryoma with a smirk on his face unlike any Marine would make. His body making quick movements to end up in front of the desk and almost ignore Yumiko's presence for the moment.

"I am your biggest fan, Captain! I have no many questions to ask like what's your favorite food, do you like cats or dogs, blah blah blah"

Ryoma would almost go on for 5 whole minutes before snapping back to reality. He would clear his throat before saluting before his new captain and superior. "Ensign Ryoma Nobunaga here for duty sir! I am to be your new Shipwright, sir!"

First was the yell that had echoed out throughout the island. Then had come the footsteps approaching the office. And then, all of a sudden, a tall, rough looking man entered the room. With spiky hair and a patch over one eye, he more looked like a pirate than a marine. And he was dressed in an attire similar to that of Yumiko, though rougher of course.

What was more surprising was that the man immediately started gushing over Anton, declaring himself his biggest fan. Anton was, well, stunned. He had fans? And more importantly, this man was their new shipwright? Meanwhile, Celia's expression sunk. Great. ANOTHER crazy on their crew. Julius just chuckled.

It took Anton a moment to gather his wits to respond. "I-It's a pleasure to meet you Ensign," Anton replied, giving him a salute, though it was more a formality than anything. He was still trying to wrap his head around what was going on.

At that point, there was a loud ringing. The Den Den Mushi on the commander's desk. The commander reached over and picked up the receiver. "Talk to me."

"Sir!" the snail spoke, repeating the voice on the other end of the call, "We've received word from the ship bringing over Doragonfurūtsu. There has been a delay, and she wont be arriving for a couple of days."

The Commander sighed. "Understood. Thank you." He hung up and turned to Anton. "That was in regard to the second new member of your crew. It'll be a bit before she's here, and unfortunately we can't wait for her. You'll have to proceed with the mission without her."

Celia looked at the commander warily. "And what is this assignment?" Sure, Hornigold was an upstanding marine, but that didn't change the fact that this mission was coming from the ones leading G5. The Commander cleared his throat. "You're familiar with the island of Minion, correct?" Anton nodded. "Cold, desolate, overrun with pirates..." Realization was slowly dawning on him. "Why?" "Well," the commander replied, "They've figured, as a sort of test, that you're to get down there, clear out the pirate presence, and turn the island into an outpost for the marines."

Everything was quiet for a moment as Anton took the time to process this. So, he was expected to effectively take over an island.

Anton sighed and rose to his feet. "Well, let's get going then." Celia looked at Anton in surprise. "Captain?" Anton gave her a look of resignation, "We have our orders, don't we? Let's...just get this over with." Anton turned to head for the door. The sooner they did this, the better.

Step by step, the heavy presence drew closer. Each echo resembled a sledgehammer pounding against the wooden floor. Hm, well, maybe that was just imagination running wild... Yumiko tensed as the door practically flew open. The man who stepped inside was anything but imaginary. Slowly she craned her head upwards, only to find a chilling smirk. Her glare grew colder and her grip on the sword tightened. She had never been particularly tall, but for the first time in her life she felt... small.

When the stranger stepped past the self-appointed bodyguard, she made no move to stop him. Instead, she slid the sword back into the sheath and politely stepped aside to give the large man some room. Why? Was it because he was accompanied by someone she already trusted? Julius of Black wouldn’t lead anyone dangerous here. Or maybe because he didn’t have the smell of danger on him. Poison, gunpowder... blood... All of them had very distinct scents that clung to a person. But... He didn’t smell like any of those. Perhaps beneath that intimidating exterior was a person who didn’t engage in senseless bloodshed. ...Or one who bathed regularly. Both were, sadly, a rarity at the seas.

As soon as the swordswoman recovered from her initial shock, the introduction rang through her head. Ensign Nobunaga... Without missing a beat, she dropped down to one knee and bowed her head. “Sir Nobunaga! I am Petty Officer Yumiko, at thy service.” Naturally, anyone who outranked her deserved nothing less than her utmost respect. She didn’t even raise her head as she continued. “I vow to assist thee ‘till my final breath.” It was the least she could do for her new ally, especially one who clearly understood the greatness of their Rear Admiral. ...Luckily, the ringing Den Den Mushi spared everyone present from the awkward silence that often followed her... dramatic declarations. It was better this way.

Yumiko straightened her back while her superiors discussed the assignment. She had never heard of this... Island of Mini Oni? However, hearing Rear Admiral’s comments gave her some clue. Cold suited her fine, for it was heat she couldn’t stand. Desolate places she was used to seeing, even back home. As for the last point... She gave her sword a reassuring pat. Once they were done, the pirates would all be behind bars. This was the perfect opportunity to sacrifice her life for greater good! With renewed fire in her heart, she hurried after Anton. Wherever he went, she would follow. Always three steps behind...

A Surprise Assignments [Minion Island: Contestation Arc - Part 1] Dd37ef39d21c3edad57f9363749137d5f7807cbc_00

Various thoughts raced through the samurai's head. First off, Anton salutes back to him?!?! I almost took everything Ryoma had within the fiber of being not to buckle his knees. Ryoma finished his salute and eyed the young woman next to him. A fellow Wano born?

"HAHAHA! It is great to meet a fellow Wano born samurai! Come, get on your feet, no need to bow your head to me...."


Ryoma would await the woman to give her name, her full name. Ryoma had some knowledge of various clans within Wano but it was limited to his parent's thoughts and prejudice. But he didn't care about all of that, just the info should be enough, Ryoma wasn't going to let ancient hatred guide him on who he would trust and confide in.

Once the woman gave her name, hopefully, he would repeat it back to her in kind. But he would repeat it back with respect and almost a sense of pride. Another warrior from Wano, not only that she was going to be his comrade. Not only was Ryoma was going to be working with Anton he was also going to be training and talking with another Wano born person.

"As you heard, my name is Nobunaga Ryoma. But since you are going to be a comrade of mine, I give you permission to call me Ryoma. That goes for all of you!"

Deep down Ryoma wanted Anton to repeat his name if only once, as that would probably make his day....no his week. Ryoma would shake his head as to shoo away the thoughts beginning to reproduce like rabbits within his mind. Ryoma didn't even realize that he siphoned off his accent a bit as to speak more clearly. But he would continue to do so for now as this was the first impression for everyone.

Now that introduction was over or close to, Ryoma would focus on what Anton said.

"That we do Captain!" Ryoma would cheer, he was to go to battle to free an island from ruthless pirates. Helping the innocent was a wonderful icing on the cake that was Minon Island.

Two Days Later...

It was odd that Anton wasn't simply bristling with nervousness over this mission. I mean, they were going to go into battle to take over an island full of dangerous pirates. And yet, Anton was oddly calm. Perhaps it was because he already had an idea on what was going to happen. They were going to go into a fight, there was no uncertainty about that.

The weather had started getting colder as they approached the island. He could see it growing closer, a mound of ice and snow. Strange, even the cooling temperature didn't seem to bother him that much. He stood on the deck of the Grand Steamer, keeping an eye out for anything that was a threat. If there were pirates here, they would have ships, correct? The crew were starting to get tense as they worked. They knew what was coming as well, and were starting to get a bit on edge. They should be coming in sight of the island soon. No doubt the pirates would be waiting for him.

"Captain!"

Anton looked up towards the lookout post above him. The lookout in question through down a spyglass to him, Anton catching it with ease. "Two ships moving to intercept!"

Anton brought the spyglass to his eye and looked. It was just as the lookout said. Two wooden ships, smaller than the Grand Steamer, were starting to move. They had been spotted, and the pirates were coming out to play. Two ships at once? A small wave of nervousness went through him. Would the Grand Steamer be able to handle them? Well, there was only one way for them to find out. It was too late to back out of it now. What would everyone think of they did.

"Everyone, move to your stations!" Anton ordered, the crewmen instantly scrambling into place, getting ready. Now that the storm was approaching, the crew had something to focus all that anxious energy on.

Anton moved over to one of the speaking tubs, leading down into the ship itself. "All hands to your battle stations! Yumiko, Celia, Ryoma! Up on deck this instant!" Their place was up here, ready to face the enemy head on.

Sometimes, a careless word without any ill intent could hurt more than the gravest insult. Yumiko flinched when the stranger called her a samurai. Just a few weeks ago, she would have raised her head, puffed her chest and met the kind recognition with a warm smile. But not anymore. She... hesitated. And bowed her head even lower. “My deepest apologies, but thou are mistaken. I am no samurai...” Not anymore. “A simple weapon has no title, no clan and no other name.” Finally she raised her head, hiding her hesitation behind her cold composure.  “I am only... Yumiko.” That much she could still allow herself. Anything more would’ve been presumptuous. An insult to the man who had earned his name and his title. Without any further explanation, she hurried after the Rear Admiral. There was work to do.

-Two Days Later-

Yumiko tasted the crisp sea wind. She had always preferred the open deck to the stuffy cabins. Even as the air got nippy, her usual outfit proved warm enough. She stared keenly into the distance. Two whole days of peace and quiet had left her nervous. Antsy. The strange kind of itch she just couldn’t scratch. Even now she was trying to distract herself. That slowly growing mound of white had to be the island of Mini Oni. Imaginary ideas gathered above her head like bubbles as she quietly wondered how the place had gotten such a curious name. Perhaps... No, no, couldn’t be. But maybe...

A sudden shout popped the bubble of vivid imagination. The hunter’s ear twitched. She caught the lookout shouting something about... ships? Immediately her gaze swept across the sea. Just as warned, two wooden ships were approaching. She didn’t need a sharp nose to smell their wicked plan all the way here. Her fur bris-hm, hair stood up, but not from the cold. It was the anticipation. Finally her wait was over. However, as much as she wanted to simply take flight and try slicing the boats in two, this time she wouldn’t move an inch. Not without...

An order!

Anton had barely called when Yumiko appeared before him in a blur. Her arrival brought a gust of chill wind. “Sir!” She dropped to one knee and bowed her head. “Awaiting thy orders, sir!” When it came to ocean combat, she was unfortunately a complete novice... And a hammer on top of it... But... If she followed his every word precisely, she couldn’t possibly fail this time.

The room Nobunaga was occupying had various pipes and gears that showed age and wear. Some of them Ryoma could replace with trinkets and gears he had in his toolbox but others would have to wait until land for an appropriate fix. The samurai would grin as he would hammer in a gear and would watch as it correctly spun with autonomous glee. During the two days of travel Ryoma almost got no sleep. He was trying to keep the ship from sinking itself with how rundown its engine and motors were. But with the shape it was in now, it could survive as long as Ryoma did routine checks on it.

He wanted to make the ship better, from the inside out of course but that was going to take time. Ryoma would stop mid downward swing at the voice of his captain. After hearing his orders, Ryoma smirked ear to ear with the thought of the ship getting some action. Of course, the smirk began to twist in shape after the thought of repairs crossed his mind. But hopefully, they wouldn't be as much as a problem as the ship already was.

Ryoma would come onto the deck shirtless with his scars in full view. The amount of them showed just how much training and how many fights he had been in. With the smirk on his face, Ryoma would head over to his captain.

"Engine is runnin' smoother den a baby's bosom, Cap"

Ryoma would solute his Captain and would await his orders. There were many options still left on the table, Ryoma wanted to see what Anton's thought process would be like.

Before long, Yumiko, Nobunaga and Celia were up on deck, the Shipwright giving him an update on the ship's engines. Anton nodded. "Good. Glad to hear it. We're about to go into battle. Let's see how she runs." He glanced over towards the approaching ships. With their ship made of iron compared to their wood, he would be fine going up against one of them. But two? That might make things tricky.

He looked back at his officers standing before him. "Celia, I need you to stay here and man the ship. Keep her firing and keep her from being sunk, got it?" Celia nodded and gave Anton a salute. "Yes sir!" Anton then turned to Yumiko and Nobunaga. "As for you two, when we get in close enough, I want you guys to take a group of marines and board the ship. I wouldn't be surprised if there were officers on that ship, and we need to take them down. I'll be working on the other ship."

He turned back, watching the ships approach. Each was coming around on either side of the Grand Steamer. Guess they were going to try a pincer attack against them. Men were in position, ready and bracing themselves for the upcoming fight.

Slowly, the ships moved in, gliding alongside the Grand Steamer. Anton could see the pirates on board, ready for battle.

"FIRE!"

Blasts filled the air as the cannons went off. Wood and splinters flew as one of the ships got hit hard by the Grand Steamer's cannons, holes torn in her side. [Grand Steamer's MT - crit hit] [Grand Steamer's UT - crit hit] The pirates were already falling back from the blast, as their own cannons fired. The ship rocked from the blows, but not to the extent of the other ship. "Hull's holding!" one of the crewmen called out. [Pirate Vessel One's LT - hit] [Pirate Vessel's UT - hit]

The second ship didn't take as much of a beating, but still was damaged regardless. [Grand Steamer's UT - hit] The blow though seemed to cause on of the ship's shots to veer wide, hitting the water harmlessly, while a weaker blow hit the ship's hull. [Pirate Vessel Two's LT - miss] [Pirate Vessel Two's UT - hit]

Anton shifted into his hybrid form, brandishing his twin swords. "Let's move!" Anton called out, suddenly dashing for the edge of the deck, before leaping over the gap between the two ships, right into the mess of frantic pirates.

Upon receiving a command, Yumiko bowed her head. “Sir, yes, sir!” She sprung up on her feet and spun towards her other superior. “Sir Nobunaga! I trust the rallying of the troops to thee! Please watch over me!” Naturally the other marines would be inclined to follow someone who outranked them. As for herself... Without wasting a moment, she sprinted towards the side railing... And jumped off the ship. Faster than one could say hammer, a gust of wind howled around the ship. It twisted into a whirlwind, dragging the swordswoman high into the skies like a living kite. Sleeves flapping, she swooped towards the enemy ship further away.

Meanwhile on said ship, up in the crow’s nest, a bewildered pirate peered through a beaten spyglass. “Whuzzat...?” He wasn’t sure if he had been drinking too much... or not enough... but he could swear he saw a woman flying right at them. Not wanting to risk his captain’s wrath, he raised alarm anyway. “Oi! Incoooming!” The raspy shout roused action across the deck. When people couldn’t spot any boats threateningly close, their eyes soon turned towards the skies. A burly, bearded figure behind the wheel bellowed. “Look alive, boyos!” He took a long swig from a bottle before bothering to continue. “We be getting company!” The pirates immediately gathered a welcoming committee, armed to the teeth.

Yumiko landed on the deck with a whistle of dying wind. Sweeping her icy gaze over the numerous foes, she took a stance and demanded their undivided attention. “Halt thou firing, buccaneers! Thou are all under arrest! Thy crimes catch up to thee and there is no escape from thy vile deeds! Surrender at once or...” She unsheathed her blade with a dramatic flourish. Winds whirled around her frame, making her clothing billow. [LT][“Defend thyself!”] The shout left behind a pause in the chaos, accompanied by awkward silence. Only the floorboards creaked beneath approaching steps...

A huge, pot-bellied pirate emerged from the crowd. He was guzzling down grog until it spilled past his lips and dripped down his soaked beard. Once the bottle was empty, he suddenly bashed it against the mast. Shards of glass scattered across the deck as he brandished his new, sharp weapon. “Now ye lissen here, missy. We *hic* might be scoundrels, thieves and murderers, but we be not buccaneers, *hic* whatever that means.” His men agreed. “Aye, we be proud pirates! And ye be dead!” With a drunken roar, they all charged. [LT][Gang Up]

Before the foes could swarm the swordswoman, she bounced backwards with a blast of wind. [LT][Gale Warning] It was heavy enough to push the rowdy pirates back. However, despite all the staggering and swaying, they were soon back on their feet with minimal injuries. Like they were used to stumbling around... Yumiko’s eyes narrowed and nose twitched when the supposed captain pulled out a flintlock and took aim. [LT][Flintlock Snipe] As the shot rang out, it got deflected by a deft swing of blade. While she lacked any firearms of her own, she had her ways of fighting at range. Another swift swing sent a curling blade of wind towards the foe. [LT][Weasel's Tail] With a raspy curse he dropped the gun. The two fighters rushed across the deck and clashed, blade locking against... erm... bottle. [UT] [UT] Despite the weird weapon choice, she nearly buckled beneath the impact. This man... His size wasn’t just for show...

The air was hot with rage and adrenaline, Ryoma would watch on as Yumiko would launch off onto the other ship and Ryoma would merely squint his eyes at the sight. He only thought one thing to himself "Sorcery?". Ryoma would find out more later, but for now, he was going to focus on the battle before him, and as the second ship eased closer to The Grand Steamer Ryoma would jump onto the ship. He would see Yumiko engaging in the enemy already which would cause Ryoma to roar loudly and charge headlong into battle. He was going to aid Yumiko until he was stopped by someone who...flamboyant wasn't enough for the individual. He oozed nothing short of brazen glory and the color pink. His clothing was so bright it almost made Ryoma look away, but looking away from an enemy wasn't wise, no matter how annoying there were to look at.

Ryoma would get into his fighting stance known to his clan and would await the assailant's attack. With a spine chilling laugh, the man would launch a flying knee towards Ryoma, but his movements were so wide that it was almost too easy to dodge [LT - Kissing Of The Knees Misses]. Ryoma would use this miss to his advantage would rapidly spin his Glaive and easily smack the side of the head of the man [MT - Blunt Force Trauma]. He would like that though, "I love a man who has FIGHT in him!". This would cause Ryoma to jolt backward in fear, and the man would at advantage of that and would rush Ryoma at speeds he wasn't used to, grabbing Ryoma with both hands in a bear hug [LT - Huggable Guy]. "Now this I LIKE!" the man would repeat, and Ryoma found himself losing his breath and gaining inhuman strength to break out of this bear hug. Now using almost all of the strength in his body to punch the man's face, smashing it into the floor, creating a hole in the deck. "Don't. Touch. Me." [LT - IT'S CLOBBERIN' TIME!]

If someone looked at Ryoma's face currently he would have nothing but pure murder written on it and if they focused enough it would seem as if yellow energy was emanating off of him. Never in his life did he want to hit someone so bad. Ryoma would raise his glaive and would bring it down slicing the arm of Boris. [LT - Cherry Blossom Fang] He was consumed with rage so much that he didn't notice the man's foot raise up and kick Ryoma in the chest [Boris' UT]. Ryoma would stumble back at the annoyance. It didn't really do anything other than to push Ryoma back a bit and sting. He would return the favor by stomping on the man's chest causing him to sink further into the deck [Ryoma's UT]. Ryoma was going to finish this quickly and return back to working on the ship. He had much to do day...

as the cannons roared, Anton landed amongst the frantic pirates upon the ship, scrambling to fire back after taking such heavy damage from the Grand Steamer. A number of them turned their attention to the Rear Admiral, before diving to attack him. Anton barely even thought as he swung his blade, catching them and sending them flying. The crew weren't expecting an opponent like this. And honestly, neither had Anton. He had expected the fight to be a bit, well, more difficult.

"You!" came a voice. Anton jumped back, just in time for a Long-Legged pirate to bring his foot down onto the deck, splintering the wood, but otherwise missing the Rear Admiral [Long John's LT - miss] Anton spun to face him, eyes locked on him and swords at the ready. Judging by the way he was dressed, he seemed to be the very officer he was looking for. The Long-Legged pirate turned to face Anton. "You're gonna regret comin' on here by yourself." He said with a smirk on his face. John always had a habit of looking down on people shorter than himself, and considering he was a member of the Long-Legged tribe, many tended to be shorter than him.

Anton barely reacted, simply holding his swords. "Thank you for coming out. Makes things so much faster for me." Long John's eye twitched at the show of defiance and charged at Anton, swinging out one of his legs to kick at him. Anton simply ducked to the side, the foot flying past him. [Long John's LT - miss] The pirate let out a growl as he tried to launch another kick at Anton...

..and suddenly, Anton brought his sword up, slashing him painfully across the torso, causing Long John to stumble back, crying into the air as Anton lept upwards. [Long John's UT - miss] [Grind Slash - LT - hit] As the pirate caught his balance, he looked up just in time for Anton to come back down, sword high above his head and delivering a powerful blow to the pirate.

So powerful infact that it sent him crashing through the deck into the ship below. [Grand Strike - HT - hit]

The pirates stopped, staring in shock as their officer was beaten so quickly. It was crazy! They were knocked out of their stunned state when the Grand Steamer hit the pair of ships with another blast of cannon fire, though the more powerful shot missed, but not by much. [Grand Steamer's MT - miss] [Grand Steamer's UT - hit] [Grand Steamer's UT - hit] The pirates immediately started scrambling, the ship Anton was on firing at the Grand Steamer, with little effect. [Pirate Vessel One's LT - hit] [Pirate Vessel One's UT - hit]

Unfortunately for the other ship, the chaos caused by Yumiko and Nobunaga caused their shots to veer wide. [Pirate Vessel Two's LT - miss] [Pirate Vessel Two's UT - miss]
