As the fighting raged on, the Grand Steamer took another pair of powerful shots at the pirate ship, damaging it further. Likewise, the pirate ship managed to get one good shot off, the other veering wide, the ship's stability making it difficult to aim. [Grand Steamer's MT - hit] [Grand Steamer's UT - hit] [Pirate Vessel's LT - hit] [Pirate Vessel's UT - miss]

Edward Mine burst out of the water, seething with rage. This was NOT how it was supposed to go! He was a feared pirate dammit, and this damn grasshopper was making him look like a complete joke! "That's it!" he yelled out, "Now I'm mad!" He breathed in deeply, his body inflating up, spikes protruding out of his skin. "Eat This!" His body suddenly decompressed with a 'bang!', spikes raining down atop of Anton. The marine brought his arms up to defend himself as spike struck down onto him, some of them even burying themselves in the deck. [Edward Mine's MT - hit]

Edward gave a small chuckle as he came down, landing on the deck. Let's see how he liked THAT. Suddenly, out of the burst of spikes, Anton shot straight up into the air, barely looking even worse for ware. The fishman's eyes widened. How!? He had hit the damn bug dead on! He brought a fist back, ready to punch the bug as he came down. However, Anton suddenly shot down like a meteor, his body colliding with the fishman and sending him crashing onto the hard deck. The deck cracked and bucked under the force of the blast. [B-Flat - AoE - hit]

Edward groaned, unsure what had just hit him. His body felt like he had been hit by a canon. He was having a hard time moving his body, his movements jerky and uncontrolled. Before he could even think of what was happening, Anton delivered a sharp kick to the struggling Fishman, sending him rolling along the deck. [Anton's UT - hit]

Finally Yumiko managed to find some rope among all the discarded bottles and stained rags. Quietly she wondered how this filthy vessel even functioned like this... Pirates were sad and strange men. After checking the rope for any fraying, she had to accept it was good enough for the purpose. The prisoners probably wouldn’t struggle much anyway. Conveniently they had all gathered around the mast already. They put up no resistance as the Marine carefully circled around them. With a couple of quick tugs, the binding was tightened to completion. She watched the Captain Formerly Known as Alebeard sob inconsolably. Her hand hesitantly hovered over his bald head before brushing it gently. The crying stopped, replaced by a baffled stare. “Did... Did you just pat my head...?” She managed to only nod as the awkward silence grew between them. The code had not prepared her for this.

With the prisoners tied up and consoled, the swordswoman hurriedly sought to shift her attention onto, well, literally anything else. Oh hey, there were still foes remaining. Yes, much better. She squinted, trying to see... To feel... How the battle was progressing. Captain was very much leading the dance between him and the fishman, as expected. Likewise, Sir Nobunaga was taking his fabulous foe to a... what was the term she had heard in the barracks... ballroom blitz? Local sayings were so very strange. She shook her head, brushing the idle thought aside. Not only was assistance unnecessary, but interfering with their battles would’ve been dishonorable as well.

Yet simply standing around and doing nothing felt... sickening.

Yumiko’s cold stare focused on the remaining pirate vessel. Its cannons were still chipping away at their noble ship. Silently she stepped onto the bow of the conquered vessel. Brandishing her blade, she gathered her concentration and took aim. All the sounds around her fell silent. Only the ship remained clear in her vision. With a flurry of slashes she fired four blades of wind. Each resembled a curved claw slicing across the air. [HT][Weasel's Claws] One after another they clashed against the pirate vessel’s hull. Unfortunately, she lacked the raw, destructive power her captain possessed. The cuts just dissipated harmlessly, unable to even scratch the enemy ship. She sheathed her blade with a defeated sigh. One of the strongest moves in her arsenal... And it was nowhere near enough...

While most pirates aboard the battered ship scampered to get more ammo under the constant bombardment from the Marine vessel, some were feeling vengeful. A couple of the cannons turned towards lone swordswoman. Her fluttering sleeves and long hair made for a large enough target. One hardened man aimed a dramatic point and barked a single command. “FIRE!” A volley of cannonballs flew towards the woman. [LT] [UT] With a flash of steel, they split in two and passed her harmlessly. She sheathed her sword again, though most eyes hadn’t even seen her draw it. Ultimately, both sides accomplished absolutely nothing.

The fight seems like it was coming to a close. Boris' speed wasn't helping him out anymore and Ryoma seemed to get more and more impossible to hit as the fight went on. So Boris would gamble, he was going to try to end this with his ultimate attack. An immensely precise shot into the opponent's chest in the area of the heart. It's a very difficult move seeing as it's an attack on the opponent's chest in a precise area but Boris had no other options to swing this fight into his favor. So Boris would use all the power in his legs and would burst towards Ryoma, attempting to strike his heart and turn this fight around. But when he connected all Boris heard was the laughter of Ryoma and the loud beating of his heart [HT-Shot Through The Heart! Misses]. It about time for Ryoma to end this farce, grabbing Boris' face once more lifting him up to his height before letting free fall. Only to be caught by Ryoma's fist on his few slamming him into the ground [LT-IT'S CLOBBERIN' TIME!].

It was almost as if Boris' reflex kicked in where as soon as he hit the floor he would jut his foot up striking Ryoma's leg in the process [LT-Love is brutal]. Now Boris laid on the floor, almost conscious standing up at a towering marine with a big smile on his face. "It's 'bout time I ended this yea?" Ryoma would lift his glaive and would stab at both of Boris' legs [LT-Cherry Blossom Fang][LT-Blossom Bisector]. "Now dat should keep ya still!" Ryoma didn't think at all what he was doing was cruel or too much. These were pirates he was dealing with, at any chance they would do the same to him and even innocent bystanders if they had the chance. Nothing was too much for these scum. Ryoma would see Boris attempt to lift his hand in the shape of a fist before he would even attempt to throw it, Ryoma would smack it away with his glaive shaft and would but him with the end of his weapon [Boris UT Misses][Ryoma UT]. It seemed as if the battle was finally over until Boris would cough once again and attempt to get up. Of course to the annoyance of Ryoma.

The battle seemed to be going relatively well, all things considered. Yumiko had taken down her opponent and was busy taking down the rest of the crew, Nobunaga was faring well against his opponent, and even now, the Grand Steamer was tearing apart the enemy ship. Both vessels fired cannon volleys at each other, though it was clear the Grand Steamer's shots were dealing considerable more damage. [Grand Steamer MT - hit] [Grand Steamer UT - hit] [Pirate Vessal LT - hit] [Pirate Vessel UT - hit]

Suddenly, the water next to the Grand Steamer erupted, as Edward Mine, battered, bloody, and VERY angry, shot straight up, eyes locked on Anton. "DAMN YOU!" he roared, suddenly kicking off the air and shooting towards him like a cannonball, inflating as he shot towards him. Anton couldn't move out of the way in time before the pirate collided with him. [Edward's UT - hit] Suddenly, Edward let out a heavy, and in a loud 'woomph', he forcefully deflated, shooting out the numerous spines along his body. Crewmen dove for cover, as Anton was hit point blank by the blast.

[color:0823="666633"]"Anton!" Celia yelled out, concerned for her captain. Edward let out a maniacal laugh. "Haha! How do you like that...huh?" his voice trailed off as he looked up at Anton.

He stood the in silence, bleeding from the numerous spines piercing his exoskeleton. His large eyes were wide, and staring straight at the pirate before him.

And then he screamed. It was the kind of shriek that shook you to your very core. It echoed around the entire battlefield. Through it, you could hear Edward screaming in abject terror, as his very soul was shaken up. [Soul Shriek - HT - hit]

Suddenly, Anton's leg shot out, catching Edwardin the stomach and lifting him off of his feet. [Anton's UT - hit]. The Rear Admiral then spun and delivered a sharp kick to his side, sending Edward spi ming through the air, across the gaps of the two ships, and onto the steadily crumbling deck of the pirate ship. [Hopper Kick - LT - hit]
The pirates around the battle were starting to freak out. What they had thought would be an easy fight, was turning into a complete massacre on their end.

As the two sides glared at each other, the wind seemed to fall quiet. Waiting... The pirate vessel was the first to launch a new volley. [LT] The marine deftly danced between most of the shots, but one came straight at her. Acting on pure reflex, she slashed at it. [UT] Though she managed to deflect it, her arm trembled from the recoil. She could feel her bones creaking beneath the impact. Her glare narrowed as she returned her focus on the vessel furiously reloading its cannons. Attacking her was perfectly acceptable. Expected even. But how dare they try to sink the glorious Grand Steamer? This had to end... Now.

Yumiko let out a deep sigh, emptying her lungs and her mind. A deep breath filled her with clarity and focus. She leveled her sword horizontally and started spinning. Faster and faster... Until she resembled a blurry toy top twirling wildly. The winds around her picked up, forming a vortex. “Ha!” With a warrior’s cry, she unleashed all the momentum into a single swing of her sword. [HT][Weasel's Wrath] The vortex started moving, rapidly growing into a massive cyclone. It swallowed the remaining pirate vessel. Anything that wasn’t nailed down, including unfortunate crew members, got torn into the air. The sails were shredded asunder and the hull groaned under the strain. Little by little, the vessel sank beneath the violent waves.

The swordswoman sheathed her blade and the unnatural vortex dwindled away to nothing. As suddenly as it had appeared, it was gone. Taking another deep breath, she brought her hands around her lips like some pretend megaphone and... erm... Gave a situation report. “CAPTAIN! ALL ENEMY VESSELS HAVE BEEN SUBDUED! AWAITING ORDERS!” ...Sheesh, those were some lungs on her. Almost as loud as Nobunaga. Almost. Though granted, the favorable winds carried her voice far. True to her word, she would wait for further instructions. Unfortunately, both her captain and her superior officer were... a little bit busy at the moment.

Standing on the deck of the Grand Steamer, panting, bleeding, Anton watched as the final pirate ship, already badly beaten from the constant barrage from his own ship, was torn asunder by his second in command's attack. The crippled ship began to break apart, starting to collapse into the ocean as pirates drove in and began swimming for their lives.

It had been a two versus one naval battle, and the Guardian Knights had won. A part of Anton was shocked by this. And yet, another part of him wasn't surprised at all. This was the strength of a Rear Admiral.

He looked towards Yumiko, who was giving her, well, report. They had no further reason to remain in these waters. "All marines, return to the ship!" he called out, his voice carrying across the battlefield, "We're going to make landfall on Minion!" That was their mission after all. To capture Minion Island.

"And was we do so," came the voice of Dr Black, "We're getting you patched up. You're not taking over an island with spines sticking in you."

Anton blinked, looking back at the ship's doctor, before looking down at himself, slowly shifting back into his human form.

And then the pain hit him. Anton's wail caused a small chuckle from the doctor. Yep, that was their captain. "Fortunately, the damage doesn't look too bad. Once Miss Yumiko's back on board, I'll look over her too. Come now, let's get you prepared for our grand arrival."

Anton’s orders doubled as the declaration of victory. The pirates that hadn’t died were clinging to whatever scraps were still floating. They no longer posed any threat to the marines moving in to arrest them. However, surprises weren’t over quite yet. From the vessel Yumiko had conquered, something soon flew right at the Grand Steamer. It was too big and slow to be cannonfire. It kind of looked like... “EEEEEEEEEH! Ow! Oof! Gah! Ouch!” With a series of painful thuds a group of tied-up and screaming pirates slammed onto the deck, reminiscent of rotten apples falling from a tree. Luckily they were robust enough to survive the rough landing. In the background, a cabin boy excitedly declared that it was raining men, while another agreed with a resounding hallelujah. As for what caused the odd, localized weather pattern, well...

Approximately two minutes earlier...

A row of tied-up pirates had been arranged in a neat row in front of the marine swordswoman. Every single one of them knew what an execution line looked like... Those who weren’t busy sobbing tried to beg for mercy. However, Captain Alebeard stared at the swordswoman in utter disbelief. He wasn’t quite sure if he had understood the funny accent correctly. “Wait, you’re not gonna kill us?” She shook her head. “Nay. ‘Tis not mine right to decide thy judgement.” Not to mention she abhorred bloodshed.

Yumiko stepped over to Alebeard and drew her blade. “I shall bring thee to the captain. He holds the authority over thy fate.” The pirate captain cast a doubtful glance at the shining piece of steel. “Bring... how exactly...?” The swordswoman took a strange sideways stance. Her feet were about a shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, with both hands on the handle in front of her. “By launching thee with mine blade. I learned this art in a distant land.” She underlined her idea with a couple of practice swings. Those who had travelled the lands might recognize the motions as what the finer folk called... golf.

Alebeard was, understandably, less than excited about the idea. “Please no.” The marine did her best to alleviate any lingering concerns. “Fear not, for I shall use the flat side.” And failed miserably. As she slowly drew the blade back, the captain continued to protest. “That’s not really the issuEEEEEEEEEEEH!” With a swift whack and a mighty gust, the burly man was launched across the air. His raspy scream grew several octaves higher as he approached the unforgiving wooden deck below. The rest of the crew followed in quick succession, forming a less-than-tidy pile. Alive... But at what cost? Well, dignity and a couple of bruises, actually.

And thus we get back to the present moment...

Finally, Yumiko herself landed beside the pile of groaning pirates. The winds calmed down at last, as she dropped to a knee. “Master! Petty Officer Yumiko reporting as ordered!” Aside from a couple of scratches and bruises, she seemed relatively unharmed this time. Evidently she had learned something from her last defeat.

Anton was sitting quietly on a seat as Dr. Black was patching him up. He watched as the pirates came crashing onto the deck, followed by Yumiko arriving, and kneeling before him, as usual. The men around them went to work escorting the pirates down to the brig. They would need to set up some sort of prison on the island when they land. "Erm, nice work," Anton replied. "Now that that's taken care of, maybe now we can..."

Suddenly, there was a burst of water as Edward Mine, beaten, bloody, and furious shot up from the water. The Fishman let out a roar of psychotic fury. The marines prepared to fight.

And before anyone realized what was happening, Anton was directly in front of Edward, sword raised over his head. Nobody had even seen the Rear Admiral move. It took a brief second for the pirate to realize what was happening...which unfortunately was too slow. [Grand Strike - HT -hit]

The boat rocked from the impact as Edward's body was slammed into the water like a missile. Water rained down on the deck as everyone stared in surprise. Anton landed on the deck and was quiet for a moment, before he let out a sigh.

"Can we PLEASE go to the pirate infested island so we can get this over with?" he whined.

When Anton tried offering praise, Yumiko immediately bowed her head lower. “I am not worthy of thy kind words.” For those quietly wondering when she would stop being so harsh on herself, the answer was somewhere between ‘not anytime soon’ and ‘never’. She fell silent, waiting for the captain to finish giving out orders. Unfortunately, the moment was rudely interrupted. One pirate had missed the part where they lost. Yet as quickly as he appeared, he was launched back into the dark depths. Shock and surprise rippled across the deck. The tied-up pirates were suddenly very glad they had gotten arrested by the weirdo who talked funny.

Meanwhile, the aforementioned weirdo swordswoman relaxed her tense stance, allowing her hand finally to stray from the sword at her hip. Once again, she had been too slow... She had barely managed to grab her weapon before the violent encounter was already over. Her gaze swept across the deck, from where she was standing all the way over to the whining captain. Quietly she mused beneath her breath. “As expected of the Master.” ...Oh, not about the whining, no. She was simply... measuring the distance between them, judging it with her own eyes. To be able to discern one’s true strength at a glance was the mark of a great swordsman. ...Or so they said, anyway. In all honesty, she wasn’t quite sure what it meant. One thing she did know though...

Right now, the Captain seemed as distant as the stars in the sky...

Silently, like a sneaking weasel, the marine woman walked to her captain’s side. She took her usual position, constantly tailing three steps behind him. His whiny question went unanswered. A shadow did not speak. The rest of the crew, meanwhile, answered with action. They hurried to turn the ship towards their destination. Some quietly wondered if taking over a pirate infested island could be as easy as their captain was making it sound. Only one way to find out.
