Serious: The Adventures of the Untouchable Pirates - Chapter 2

((Open RP. Anyone can join, but try to make it fit in to the story. Also, as the story progresses, I am not going to start new threads. I will however, rename the current thread and then put a break-post in. Example: This post is a break post.))

Chapter 1:
I shouldn't have done that...

The sun was shining and the day was a scorcher. Not to mention the humidity was high and the sea was rough. The ship of the Untouchable Pirates bounced up and down with great power. All in all it was a poor day for Captain "Shield" Jackson. Green in the face, the Captain stumbled around inside the ship trying to reach the galley. Holding his stomach as the ship groaned on the waves, Jackson finally reached the room. Stumbling in, he sunk into a chair sloppily.

Well lit, the room was already occupied. The intimidating looking masked doctor was seated at the table, drinking a citrus juice through an elaborate, ridiculous looking silly straw. "You don't get sea sick captain, so it was the beer?" Preparing a glass of juice himself, the captain acknowledged with only a groan. Remembering the previous day, the doctor laughed briefly. "Told you. Dehydration. Heat Stroke. Alcohol poisoning. Your ability heals wounds, but not your blood and it doesn't resupply you liquids." This was the most Doctor Stand Upman had said in a single sentence for weeks. Jackson took this as meaning the doctor was being professional at the moment. "Today's gonna be a lazy day Stand." Those were Jackson's only words before he began to drink.

Commodore Cain D. Marko had been searching for the Pirate known as Captain Jackson for some time now. His superior officer had told all the marines not to bother looking for him, but Cain refused to let a Pirate go irregardless of how low his bounty was. The fewer Pirates in the world the better! After so much searching he saw a ship sailing in the seas with a flag that had a single skull devoid of a lower jaw and having a splitting crack in the upper left rests in the center. The only further decoration on the flag is a pair of rapiers crossing the skull, blade tips facing down. Commodore Cain knew full well that there weren't many ships sailing with the same flag. In fact each Pirate Crew's flag were unique! (Cain was flying around with his dials on his feet at super speed all around the sea for a long time looking for a ship that looks like Jackson's and it was only a matter of time with Cain's incredible speed, who could make circles around the planet) Cain wondered how best to arrest Jackson and crew and BAM!!! He had an idea! He flew into the sea under the ship(he has no devil fruit, he wont drown. Nor does he really need to breathe for that matter) and used his superhuman speed to push the ship toward the direction of Enies Lobby! "heheheh! Easier than taking Candy from a baby! These idiots wont even notice that the ships going in the wrong direction, well wrong for them! hahaaha" What a ingenious plan he though as he could not think of any way that Jackson could stop him, even if somehow he noticed that something was wrong. He thought What were they going to do...swim to a nearby Island???

As Jackson sat with a dulled over look on his face, he glanced at his log pose. In the sea where no compass worked, Only the log pose could point to the next island. The needle however, was not in line with the ship and that was an issue. Now that he was actually thinking about it, the waves were hitting the ship from a different angle than before. "Upman. Adjust our heading a bit." His words were half mumbled as he handed the log pose to the doctor. "Hmm." was Stand's only reply as he took the log pose. Before he left the galley, he put down a vial of medicine near the captain who opened the vial and said, "Oh. So you did think ahead yesterday. Thanks Upman."

Reaching the deck, Doctor Stand Upman immediately moved to the helm. Aligning the log pose in his vision, he turned the wheel. Something was wrong however; and the ship barely moved, even though the wheel turned smoothly. Below the ship, even if Marko could still go against the rudder, he would notice it more difficult. Either way, he'd know something was amiss with his plan.

Commodore Cain knew that the crew were beginning to realize something was wrong through the fact that it became harder to move the ship, and it seemed was moving on its own slightly. However this wouldnt dramatically alter Cain's plan as he knew that they would eventually know that somethings up even if its when they were within view of Enies Lobby. With the ship's rudders resisting Cain's push was annoying for Cain and making his a job a bit more tedious. However, Cain's strength with his current supply of milk in his system was at 20,000 Dourikis or 2000 times stronger than the Average Marine. Which was far beyond the range of an ordinary human. It was like 2000 Marines were moving the ship! To make his job easier, he took out a bottle of milk from one of his pockets. He then drank almost a 1/3 of the milk(30%) which boosted his strength to 30,000 Dourikis or 3000 times stronger than the average marines. With that boost he redoubled his efforts pushing the ship. The ship was now moving a bit faster than it was before the crew noticed that something was wrong. He thought to himself, Lets see them stop me now, Next Stop: Enies Lobby! hehehe

Not only did the ship refuse to change course in the end, it sped up. Stand was about to get the captain when he arrived from below deck. The doctor explained the situation is as few words as possible and left it for the captain to interpret. Being a doctor, this was somewhat out of his league. Jackson thought for a moment, leaning over the rail. "We're either being pulled or pushed." Stand looked in Jackson's direction, a hint of confusion in his eyes. "Haha." Jackson laughed before continuing. "If it were an ocean current, you wouldn't be able to turn the wheel so fluidly. We can't see what's pulling us so it would have to be below us. I'm thinking something small or the water around us would be darker." Thinking for a moment, Jackson believed he could have a working plan. Testing the wind, he was pleased to find it wasn't blowing in the direction they were being moved. "Help me get the sails into the wind. Whatever's moving us'll feel this." Between the two of them adjusting various ropes, the sails soon adjusted to the wind and with a loud WUMPH, they caught the full power of the wind. The wind wasn't blowing to where they wanted to go, but it also wasn't blowing to where they were being moved. "And just for kicks," said Jackson, "Let's turn the wheel that way too."

Commodore Cain suddenly a felt a strong push resisting Cain's push that nearly forced Cain to lose control of the ship. He knew this wasn't going to be easy if the crew kept thinking of new ways to hinder his plan. He also knew that he could drink more milk to boost his strength further but he didn't want to have to use more than 30% of his strength on Pirates of such a low-bounty. He would be absolutely humiliating if he had such trouble with a mere ship which even weaker marines than he could easily benchpress! He had an Idea, since struggling with this ship all the way to Enies Lobby will exhaust him. There was something else he can do! He planted both of his hands on the ship, yelling "Double Impacto!" sending an EXTREMELY POWERFUL shockwave from the energy from the spar he had with Vice-Admiral Red Beard a while back, which he lost. Since he used two Impact Dials the damage was twice that of one of the Vice-Admiral's Attacks. The shockwave was so immense that he not only caused a very large hole in bottom of the ship, but heavily damaged the foundation of the ship, and caused a sort of Earthquake effect shaking the ship up pretty bad like a 7.0/8 on the Richter scale Earthquake that would be easily felt by the entire Pirate Crew. Cain also hurt himself considerably from the recoil. Knowing what he still had to do, he worked through the pain. He then used his "Jet Flight" and lifted the ship off the water and into the sky. High enough that if he accidently dropped the ship, it might break apart on the water, especially since the Double Impacto extensively weakened the hull and structure of the ship. This served another purpose since he was out of the water he didn't have to worry about the Ship's rutter anymore and the resistance was alot less. As he flew toward Enies Lobby using his Jets, he had a feeling that there was little the crew could do to stop him now, since if somehow they removed him from the ship(He is flying under the ship carrying it, kinda like superman)then the ship could fall and be destroyed causing the crew to lose their lives. He though to himself I am such a genius! I am so going to get promoted after this! hehehe

(Don't worry reaching doesn't mean you automatically lose or something. You can always fight your way out to escape like Luffy did)

As the ship shuddered from the attack, the two pirates were jostled severely. Then to add to the shock, the ship became airborne. The doctor was shocked beyond belief while Jackson merely laughed. "Now this! Was unexpected!" The two soon looked over the edge, searching for any sign of what could be doing such a thing. Jackson looked to his companion with a wide grin and spoke. "So. You wanna see what it's like to fall to your death?" This actually coaxed a hearty laugh from the doctor. "Plan to drop us?" The captain walked over to the ship's anchor and grabbed tightly to it. "Yes. Yes I do." Detaching the anchor's holding rope, it swung down to lay straight. It was still nowhere close to being low enough to see the bottom of the ship, but that could be remedied.

Jackson started to swing the anchor back and forth by leaning from one side to the other. Soon the anchor resembled more of a pendulum. "Release the anchor Stand!" Drawing his sword, the captain prepared for the next big thing. Suddenly the anchor was loosed from its hold. Falling rapidly on the anchor it began to be pushed towards the back of the ship due to the wind and Jackson's swinging. It only took a second for the large piece of metal to fall below the ship's hull. What Jackson saw he had no words for. There was a man... flying with his ship! Taking only a second to glance at the underside of the ship, Jackson was both infuriated and relieved at the same time. At least I don't have to worry about harming the ship anymore, he thought. But this man was the greater problem at the moment. Drawing his sword back, Jackson spoke. "Hey!"

Commodore Cain D. Marko was flying the ship for a short period of time before he heard someone yell, "Hey!" Cain turned his hand and noticed a guy standing on a lowered Anchor not too far from himself. He greeting him politely, "Well hello there! I am guessing your Jackson, right? My name is Commodore Cain D. Marko, I am a high-ranking marine officer." Jackson Replied, "Just what the He|_|_ do you think your doing!?!" Cain smiled as he replied, "Well I am here to send you on a free one-way trip to Enies Lobby on the Cain Express Airlines. That is if you don't mind?"

Jackson again laughed before yelling. "Damn straight I mind! Great Rain!" In a flash, Jackson lunged forward and pulled back a repeated number of times faster than most people could register. Each lunge creating a stabbing, ranged attack in a wide area. "You're gonna drop this ship now!"

Cain saw a wave of piercing shots comming toward him and absorbed some of them with his Impact Dial, however a few managed to avoid the Impact Dial and strike his body piercing the skin, and revealing an extremely Durable Alloy instead of blood. Jackson was shocked, "Your not human!" Cain threw the ship a good distance vertically higher into the air and then caught it with one hand, causing another earthquake like effect causing a 5.0/8 on the Richter scale Earthquake like effect shaking the ship, and the ship began to crack alot more. It looked pretty fragile now. "This ship is so fragile now that if I either drop it or perform my Impacto attack on it, It will be annihalated. Which will almost certainly guarantee you and your crews demise, Captain. Especially if you or they happen to be devil fruit users! If your not a devil fruit user and someone survive the fall, what are you going to do? Your in the middle of the sea, you would be doomed! So stop resisting arrest!" Cain placed his free hand onto the ship as if he were preparing to use his dial!

((You saw what controlling other people's characters did to Admin-sama's character Sano. Just a heads up. Be careful with it. If other people start working off of it, you can't really take it back.))

Again the captain laughed heartily. "You are an odd fellow." Suddenly his appearance became quite serious. "And no one can survive a fall like this." Drawing his sword back, he smiled wickedly again. "So why not just drop both the subject and the ship? You've already caused it enough harm and I'm sure as hell not going to let my ship suffer." For a moment, Jackson considered attacking the cyborg again but held off for the moment. "You look like someone who could stand a little entertainment. Why not put the ship down and we can fight this out. Even if we win, we sink and your job is done."

Commodore Cain D. Marko heard the position and pondered about it, wondered if it was a trap. He then came to a conclusion that even if it was some diabolical scheme, there was no way that Cain could be defeated in battle nor could they really escape. So he decided to humor the captain. "If your sure about this captain, your ship wont last long in the water, even if I put it down gently with that hole, not to mention the extensive damage throughout the entire ship's structure. To fix that much damage would cost many times your entires crews bounty combined. However I can humor you with a fair battle. Though it will do you much good, but if it makes you feel better that you at least tried to get out of this situation..." Cain D. Marko slowly and gently set the ship down on the water where it slowly but surely began sinking. Cain got out of the water and got onto the deck next to the Captain. "This ship's got 30 minutes at the most. Before it is completely submerged under water. I suggest you make the most of your last half among the living. I however am immune to the water, and will not harmed in the slightest."

Jackson didn't really care much for the words of Marko. Centering himself on the ship's deck, Stand's voice came from behind. "Wasn't he going to drop us?" The captain laughed before replying. "I had a better idea." As the ship continued sinking, Stand made his way to the edge and loosed a long boat and entered it. "We'll need it." Waving his sword, Jackson walked towards his foe, stopping just short of the ship's center, taking up a standard fencing pose. Right arm forward holding the sword, the left held up for balance. "You like to talk a lot, don't you?"

Cain grinned, "Would you rather I cut to the choice and take you down, instead?" Cain dashed toward Jackson and threw his Fist coated with Seastone at his face, "Megaton Punch!!!" Let's see him smile after hit!

The enemy's attack was effectively a lunge with a shorter reach. Not even moving his feet, Jackson leaned away from the attack while simultaneously thrusting forward at where Cain's heart should be. Jackson knew his opponent wasn't human and that could be problematic. He could have radically different vital points. The heart however was always a good place on the checklist to start.

Aside from the battle, the masked doctor was sitting in the long boat, not only awaiting the end of the battle, but deep in thought.

Commodore Cain D. Marko had just missed and was struck by Jackson's(Attack that is). The saber/sword/whatever it is pierced his skin where a person's heart is supposed to be and connected with the advanced alloy underneath the skin! In the same instant, Cain planted his right arm on Jackson's face, yelling "IMPACTO!!!"

As the open palm lay across Jackson's face, he only had a brief moment for a look of confusion passed over his face. As the attack hit him, Jackson was sent flying backwards before rolling head over heels into the ship's railing which bent and cracked outwards from the impact. Jackson took a moment to stare upwards, thinking, Seems like I'll have to watch his hands. But first let's make him think he's winning. Slowly, Jackson began to stand, limbs shaking visibly. Watching from the long boat, Stand silently applauded the performance. It would appear to most people that the captain had just received a concussion. As he stood, Jackson suddenly seemed to lose his balance and caught himself. Taking only half a full stance, breathing heavily, he spoke. "Is that it metal man?"

Commodore Cain D. Marko took the Metal Man comment personally and yelled, "That wasn't enough for ya, rookie!?! Well here's more! Alot more! Jet Tackle!!!" Cain used his jet's to charge toward Jackson at super speed and attempt to football tackle Jackson hoping to cause a huge Impact with his superior size, strength, weight, and speed!

There was only one quick way for Jackson to dodge this and still keep the performance up. The captain simply let his legs stop supporting him and fell backwards, hitting his head against the deck and falling flat. He let himself cringe at the pain, but it disappeared quickly. Damn this guy is fast.

Commodore Cain D. Marko could not let such an opportunity like this Slip up, it seems that he hit the Captain harder than he though and did not have much fight left in him. I guess I overestimated this guy, his strength is equivalent to his bounty after all! Well I am gonna finish the job Cain quickly reached the fallen Captain and planted his right hand at the spot where Jackson's heart was supposed to be, "And eye for an eye right, Captain? REJECTO!!!" No way in he|_|_ such a weakling can survive this move! Its over!

The move hit Jackson straight on. The deck bent down and splintered from the sheer force of the attack, but did not fall completely. Due to the initial severity of the wound, Jackson did cough up some blood. What the hell!?! That was much more powerful than before! Jackson praised his luck the cyborg didn't aim for his head with that and then did something startling. The pirate locked his legs around one of the cyborg's own and raised his sword. "You just fell for the trap. GREAT LUNGE!" Again aiming for his target's chest, Jackson pushed the sword forward. Even if he couldn't stab through the metal man, the piercing wave would. Even if the wave didn't kill him, he'd be thrown back and Jackson could at least get up. Unfortunately, his aim was off slightly from the Marine's heart considering the odd attacking position.

Commodore Cain D. Marko took a huge hit from the piercing rain that somehow miraculously cleaved a hole straight through his armor to the other side of his back! Suddenly he was short-circuiting, and covered in a field of electricity while his body was twitching, "Poooower Faaiiling, r-rereouting to aallternate s-sourceeee" Suddenly Cain stopped twitching and the electrical waves minimized to the occasional spark here and there. What's going on!?! I should not have been injured this badly! Cain checked his power meter which was flashing empty! Suddenly a realization occured to him, That last Reject must of drained the last of my energy, weakening me enough to be vulnerable to such an attack. This isn't good, if I don't get fixed soon...I may cease to function! I have to end this battle now! Cain seemed very fatigued and barely standing, he had to end this with one last attack. Cain tried to plant his hands on Jackson but in his weakened condition, he was being repelled. Cain backed off and took out his glass of milk that was 30% drunk already and finished it in gulp! The milk temporarily boosted his strength to 70,000 Dourikis!!! 70% of his max, but thats the best he could do at the moment. This wouldn't hold very long though. Due to his injury, his power-up would last only long enough for one last attack!

Cain was desperate and used the last of his strength to lunge at Jackson and this time with his 70,000 Dourikis, had no trouble whatsoever overpowering him. He planted both of his hands on Jackson's head, yelling "DOUBLE REJECTO!!!" This is it! It all comes down to this one move! If this doesn't work! Then I am as good as finished! My system would shut down and I would be at the mercy of this pirate! This is my strongest attack, even at 70% of my max, its still about 5 times as powerful as that Rejecto I used against him and about 50 times as powerful as that first Impacto! Its all or nothing!

(Fate of the fight's end result is in your hands. If you think of a reasonable to survive this attack, you win. Otherwise you could let me win, its all up to you now)

(P.S. I don't think the side effect of the blast will be very healthy for the crippled ship)

Jackson saw both of the cyborg's hands coming at once and backed up quickly. I can't let two of those hit me, that's for sure. As the blasts hit the air, the shockwave pushed Jackson back slightly. His opponent was getting desperate and that was great. Jackson allowed himself to grin widely. It was always fun when his enemies didn't know about him. "You should start thinking harder metal man!" Truth be told, Jackson was starting to wear himself out. Rapid healing was fun, but it was very tiring to counteract the damages he had just received. Breathing heavily, Jackson hoped his opponent thought he was tricking him yet again. No matter how he looked at it, neither of them would be able to keep it up for much longer. Between breaths, Jackson continued to speak. "Better... fly away... while you... still have the strength." Taking his stance, the captain prepared for another attack. One thing had him concerned though. This guy could swim, but the attacks that came from his hands were something that no developed weapon or human could do. So it wasn't a Devil's Fruit, but what?

Commodore Cain D. Marko was barely standing that last attack took way too much out of him, his systems should of shut down then and there! He should of been defeated, but Cain tapped into the "WILL OF D!" forcing himself to keep on fighting, He took a swing at his opponent, Jackson. "Megaton Punch!!!"
