Serious: The Aurora Pirates Part 6: The Grand Line

Grinning at his sucess, pretty content with it also, he began to walk out, looking like a tall, kind of attractive woman. Now only if he can adjust his voice....
"I'll be going now sis!" he said in his regular voice. Well, his usually voice is a bit deep but he doubt anyone would question it soon.
He started his way into the marine base and flip/jumped over the walls.

Amari Blinks and sighs, finally controlling her laughter and followed her brother.
"....Why not, as a woman, just not speak?"

Popping his head out from the other side of the wall, he looked at his sister sternly before she even try to get into the other side of the wall.
"Sis, get supplies. If we want to get out of here quicker, we have to split up! I'll meet you back in the boat in an hour or so, ok?"
With a firm nod, showing that he isn't going to back down, he went back down the wall and started to sneak towards the marine base.

Amari sighed then shrugged as she went back to the streets, looking around for the nearest pub or eatery.
"Fine but i'm eating without~"
She said silently so he wouldn't hear, but he probably would with that extra senses or whatever.....

Kanhoji, wearing the woman costume he and Amari made, already memorized the patrols that went around the place, he sneaked into the base, cracking the code and dodging any cameras that came his way and any traps pretty skillfully. With that, he came across a closet -Out of luck, I swear- and found some uniform in it. Grinning happily, he used the woman's uniform for the marines and looked at himself. He still kept his clothes in a pouch he found. A woman's pouch, but nonetheless, a pouch. He kept the jacket that was givin to him on the shoulder and adjusted his wig a little to make it tighter.
Right, first thing is first. Scoping out the place. First, he would need the blueprints of the whole place, or a basic map, but it would be nice if he has the blue print. Making sure not to hear any foot steps or voices near by, he exit out and walked out calmly, going over to an unexpected cleaning marine.
"Excuse me..." Kanhoji said in a somewhat danity voice, smiling softly at the guy who stared at him.
"Is there a library here that I could go to? I need to get some files for an officer and I don't want to make him wait."
Kanhoji can't helped but inwardly make a satisfied smile as he saw the man instantly pointing a different way. Saying his thanks, Kanhoji began to walk towards the library, hoping that his sister looks good enough to be a boy with that girly face of hers.
Tilting his hat slightly towards his face, he smirked and continued down the hall, almost reaching the library.

Amari walked the streets, looking around and entered a pub, many people were there so she kept to the walls as he walked up to the man behind the counter and ordered the supplies she needed. Sighing silently, Amari takes a look around and notices some people wearing desert wear with robes and a hood that hid most of their faces. With a small smirk, she grabbed the things brought back from the man and stepped out, following the desert men.

Sukai was curled up on the pavement when Amari came out in one of the man's clothes, both were tied up and hanging in a cage but it was easy to get out so they shoulden't have a problem.....At least Amari wouldn't have had a problem, she picks up Sukai and lets him crawlu in the hood, hiding behind the black boyish haired wig then collected her things and stepped inside the eatery.

"Well, actually we do have a navigator," James replied. "She's the one I mentioned who has the invisibility sickness, so she is not in any condition to help out. Still, I got us this far. Didn't get much sleep though..." A screech caught James's attention and he spun around to see Immelman flying towards him. Grinning, James held out his arm for the baby dragon to land on it. "Hey man. Where did you get to?"

Immelman seemed deep in thought for a moment before replying: "Immelman...lost."

"Right..." James turned back to Hiroshi and continued on walking next to him. "This is Immelman," he explained to Hiroshi. "He's our...scout I guess. Dunno really. I just made that up now."

A Marine wearing armor entered the room where Lucas sat and he bowed, dropping down on one knee. "Sir, you called for me?" he said.

[Presentation Box]
Alfred Lewis
Marine Captain

Lucas chuckled and waved a hand at the man, indicating he should stand. "You know this isn't like your country," Lucas told him. "Your superiors do not require you to bow. It is not how we do things."

Slowly, Alfred rose to his feet. "I know," he replied. "I just feel uncomfortable not bowing."

"Come on, cuz, lighten up," another man entered the room, clapping a hand on Alfred's shoulder. "I got over the niceties of our home."

[Presentation Box]
Thomas Clark
Marine Captain

"You on the other hand, could learn some manners," Lucas growled affectionately at Thomas. Thomas belched in reply. Lucas ignored him and said, "I sent out Harry and Remus to put out patrols, if for no other reason then to distract our enemies. As for you two...I want you both to locate this new pirate captain who has landed on our shores. Deal with him quickly, but do not kill him. Bring him back here and then return to me for further orders. Oh, and it doesn't matter if all his bones are broken, just as long as he survives."

"Right," Thomas cracked his knuckles. "Time to really cut loose. Let's splatter some guts, cuz!" Alfred rolled his eyes, but followed his cousin from the room without complaint.

Kanhoji, already making the trip to the library in a quick way, because he didn't want to bump into anymore people, he got his blue prints and was following the passage way, the air ducts, to the commander's office, where he heard the order been put out.
'There is no doubt that the orders are towards James and his crew.' Kanhoji thought as he was already writing it down softly and quietly, on his back in a lazy way as he was still in his weird woman's costume. Weird for anyone that knows Kanhoji is wearing but really convincing.
'Patrols huh? Amari better be alright, then again, knowing her, she'll tough it out.' Kanhoji thought, shrugging inwardly as he knows how scary his sister can be.
'Alfred Lewis and Thomas Clark......who knew they were cousin!?' Happy at the new information he got, he wrote it down. No, he isn't worried one bit, being the happy go lucky guy he is.
Thinking that he has been here long enough, he began to crawl away from the office he was above in.

Amari carried the box of food and put the supplies down to look around, wondering if she should go to the where the boat was or not.....Might as well, just to drop off all the stuff so she wouldn't stress out her injuries too much. She picked up all of the supplies with ease and began to walk out and she looked to her boat as it barely came into sight.

It didn't take long for Alfred and Thomas to get suited up and head out. Alfred was still wearing his armor, which gleamed brightly in the sun. In his right hand he carried a spiked mace. In his left he carried a shield. He looked like a knight all except for the fact that he was not wearing a helm. Besides him, Thomas was wearing a regular Marine outfit. Even though he was a captain, Thomas was not wearing a captain's coat. Thomas was wearing a clear gauntlet on each of his arms, but otherwise he did not seem to have any weapons.

The two Marines had been informed over a Den Den Mushi, where James was and they were currently closing in on him. The last report had told them that James was with a bounty-less man and what appeared to be a small dragon. The cousins turned a corner and Thomas spotted their targets up ahead. He nudged his cousin to let him know.

"Get ready," Alfred murmured as they started towards the trio.

Kanhoji has been to the library, spying on a few people, and was making copies of every single file he found, writing down what is important and such and the logs of arrest and what has been happening around the island that is worth mentioning. Even mess up are on here, which can't help but make the blue headed boy, which is now brownish black headed boy- or rather girl-, but laugh silently a few things. Satisfied with what he got, he began to do the regular routine that seemed to happen so often and such. You know, dodging cameras, traps and any kind of security there is, with a few maps and files in his little purse and whistle and satisfacation as he saw the patrols around the place, already on the walls of the marine base. Adjusting the tie on his long haired wig, he jumped down the wall and landed with a tud. Find an place where there's no one around, he found the ladies room and thought about it a little....well, it's not like anyone knows he's a guy. Entering, he quickly exit out, his clothes already changed to what it was before, knowing that his sister would no doubtfully kick him to the next island, or much to her preferance- into a sea monster's mouth - if he lingered on to the place too much.
Exiting out of the bar, he went to a secuded alley and burned the marines uniform he got, sighing as he was glad he got that part away.

Hiroshi laughed at James comment he had never met many pirates who was as down to earth as James he seemed cool " hahaha your one weird dude, I see that he can talk wow " Hiroshi looked at the dragon and then his face got serious his smile dropped " Someones following us... wait there seems to be two of them and there very powerful" years of studying swordsmen ship Hiroshi learned to sense the presence of people around him and how strong they were, Hiroshi looked at James for a moment to see his reaction...

(My apologies for taking so long. I have no excuses. I just saw this then forgot about it.)

"Really?" asked James, sounding surprised. "Don't worry about it, unless they are foolish enough to attack. By the way, nice detection ability."
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Alfred frowned. He could hear their quarry...whistling? What was going on?

"I don't think they know we are here, yet," Thomas whispered. "If we attack now, we could catch them off guard!"

Alfred nodded and he automatically moved to the right while Thomas headed for the left. Alfred found himself following the pirate who didn't have a bounty on his head. He raised his mace and swung it at his opponent's head. Thomas moved in on the Aurora crew's captain, James. He raised an arm and a nearby window broke into three sharp pieces. The pieces of glass floated in front of Thomas and each of them was aimed at one of James's vital organs. Abruptly, the three pieces of glass shot towards James's back, aiming to impale him.

(It's ok, it happens ^^ )

Kanhoji was running to where he and his sister was suppose to meet, he stopped when he saw a the two pirates, James and Hiroshi, and saw their attackers moving close to them. Thinking about the incoming fight that was sure to come, and the valuble informations about their different fighting techniques and such, he decided to watch, temporary forgotten his sister, who he is sure ranting about him if he was ever taking so long. Going over to the roofs, he watched quietly, raising his eyebrow as he saw Thomas taking control over glass.

Hiroshi held he sword up with one hand blocking the attack from the marine, then pushes the man back away from his to get some distance "Why are you attacking an innocent bystander" Hiroshi said with a smile on his face he wasn't full healed from his fight with the other marine but he figured he could hold out against this one

Immelman spun around and spat out three balls of fire, blasting the glass to pieces. "A little overconfident, aren't you?" James asked, also turning to face the Marine. He heard Immelman screech at him in annoyance as the baby dragon now had to turn around again, since he was riding on James's arm. James winced, the loud noise temporarily deafening him. Immelman took flight and shot up into the air. He spotted Kanhoji, recognizing him by his scent, and flew down, landing on Kanhoji's shoulder to watch the battle.

"I doubt it," Thomas replied. Two windows shattered, one on each side of James, and the pieces rushed towards him, but James had already drawn Kazeshini.

"Ittoryu: Aerial Lance!" James held out Kazeshini in front of him and he was lifted off his feet by the wind around him. James was shot forward like he had been fired from a cannon, the glass shards crashing into each other behind him. Thomas had to move fast, leaped back and shattered five windows to bring the glass in front of him like a shield. Kazeshini connected with the shield and burrowed into it, before being ripped back out by James.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

"You're hardly innocent," Alfred said coldly, as he followed after Hiroshi, punching forward with his shield, using it as a battering ram.

Hiroshi sighed and swung his sword delivering a powerful slash at Alfreds shield with enough force to knock him back. Hiroshi then spun around with another powerful slash aiming to cut Alfred in half from his waist...

Thomas used the already broken glass to form spears around James. He sent the spears at James, but the pirate captain spun, knocking each one away with a swing of his sword. Thomas didn't let up, breaking the spears into hundreds of smaller pieces and sending them at James from all sides. As James blocked and dodged the glass, he took one moment to turn and thrust his sword out at Thomas, sending out a small ripple of air that caught Thomas in the chest and threw him back, making him lose concentration. Fortunately, this made it so that he lost control of his glass. Unfortunately, the maneuver took James's attention away for a few seconds and three glass shards hit him, one in his right arm, one in the lower right side of his chest, and a third in his right shoulder. James winced and dropped to one knee as Thomas stood up looking shaken, but otherwise not affected by James's attack.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Alfred was shoved back by the first strike, but when he saw the second he sighed and crouched just slightly, letting the sword hit his armor. The sword bounced off and there wasn't a scratch on the armor.

"You'll have to do better then that to get through this armor," Alfred said, sounding bored.

Hiroshi sighed " awww come one the was a pretty strong attack nothing? nothing at all?" Hiroshi jumped back " Well seems like I'll have to get serious" Hiroshi whole body started to change in position and stance " Lion's Stance[/b" Hiroshi dashed towards Alfred with his sword draging behind him cracking the ground as he drug it he got closer and swung his sword again this time with more force and power behind it " [b]Lions Roar"...

"You're finished, give up," Thomas said. "Now that your right arm is gone, you won't be able to hold by my attacks."

"I can still move it," James replied. "See?" He raised his arm up and pointed his sword at Thomas, his face screwing up against the pain. "I won't fall that easily," James panted.

"Heh...you're insane," Thomas laughed. "I like that! So let's both go wild!" All the nearby windows exploded and the glass flew into the air, spinning around Thomas, creating a vortex of thousands of blades. "I'll come at you with everything I've got," Thomas said. "You better not hold back!"

"If I wasn't holding back, you would be dead already," James replied. "Do as you like, but I don't need to come at a weakling like you with all my power."
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Alfred once again did not really react to the attack, except to move his chest into the path of the attack. He was flung through the air away from Hiroshi by the force of the attack. Alfred brought his mace down, hitting the ground and slowing himself down with the spikes on his weapon. Landing, Alfred looked at Hiroshi with a bored expression, his armor still unaffected by the attack.

"You are a very strong fighter," Alfred admitted. "However, strength means NOTHING against me."

Amari stares curiously at the fight, she was done with the supplies and food for at least a while anyway. She still had to put away a couple of things but they could wait.
Almost unrecongnizable, she eyes the armor that one of the fighters are wearing and wonders if she could pull the metal like she can with any other metal.

" hahaha man this gonna suck" Hiroshi jumped into the air and came down with his sword pointed downward strait towards Alfred " Lion's Claw"

"Don't get cocky," Thomas warned.

"So...how to fight back," James thought. "He gathers glass then strikes, but in doing so he leaves himself wide open. The solution is simple." James's stance changed, he drew Crimson Rain and his arms fell to his sides. "Itto...no, better be...Nitoryu: Eye of the Hurricane."

Thomas frowned, but he continued raising the glass into the air around James. "Game," he muttered, just before the glass all shot in at James. At that moment, James disappeared, the glass finding only thin air. "Wha..." Thomas began. James reappeared beside Thomas, swinging Crimson Rain at Thomas's feet. Thomas jumped, but that was exactly what James wanted. James swung Kazeshini and released a wave of wind that caught Thomas and hurled him into a wall hard, cracking the stone.

"Check," James said quietly.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

"How troublesome," Alfred said. He raised his shield, but winced when the pressure of the strike drove him to his knees. Alfred swung his mace up at Hiroshi, hoping to hit him while he was still in the air.

Hiroshi saw the mace coming but didn't move fast enough to avoid it the impact sent him flying away from the marine knocking him into the ground, Hiroshi felt three of his ribs crack and he spat out blood " Dammit that smarts, can't take another one of those" Hiroshi stood up and this time changed his stance again this time it became more aggressive " Eagle Stance" Hiroshi dashes towards the marine with great speed and swung his sword with great force....

Thomas dropped to the ground, his teeth gritted in pain, but his eyes focused on James. Once more, glass flew into the air around him creating a tornado of blades.

"So...still haven't given up, huh?" James asked. He also winced, realizing that he still hadn't removed the glass from his right arm or side. "This is going to be a long battle," James muttered.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Alfred simply raised his shield to block, the blow pushing him back a few feet. "You can still stand?" he asked. "After all of that? You're a tough little brat, I'll give you that much. However, I heard from Harry that he injured you. As for your skills...I am the worst opponent you could have faced. I suppose I should explain what I mean, since you're having so much trouble. It wouldn't be much fun otherwise." Alfred jabbed a thumb against his chest, loosing slightly his grip on his mace. "This armor is the pride and joy of my people. Only the strongest of our warriors wears it. It is made out of three layers. The outermost layer is diamond. The center is an silvery ore that contains a few metals. It reinforces the diamond. And the third layer is perhaps the most important. It is the soft material which cushions your blows. My mace and shield are made up of the same materials, except for the cushioning part. So...do you really think you can break through?"
