Serious: Smooth Hip Pirates S1Ch1 — Queen Joanne's Revenge

((lol, dude, i was actually setting up for this big fight between pascia and either Charlie or Callahan, but patty chan isnt posting so time for plan B))

There was a splash from behind and someone had grabbed on Shadows collar and threw him aside. ((If you choose to be or not)) It was Grace, she was covered in water "Shadow, you get away from here, SHE IS MINE!!!!" Charlie then laughed as she saw the new comer "Stupid girl, YOUR GONNA DIE...." Grace took her fist and slammed it straight into Charlies face. Her fist and steel knuckles combining to smash Charlie into the nearby debree "SHUT UP KORAAAAAAAAA!!!! YOU NEARLY BURNT ME JUST NOW!!!!!" Grace then picked up a hose that was lying nearby. IT seems it was connected to the nearby sink in the kitchen. Grace had connected it and sprayed the water on herself. Charlie got up, her mouth bleeding "gehh... just a bit of water and you think you can beat me?!!!" Grace then grinned "Your fire ability.. its a fast blaze right?.... well then if i cover myself in water, i limit the damage, since the fire is not long lasting, and so i can hit you as often as i like......" Charlie cursed "Clever b**ch....." Grace got into position "I want to get money and treasure... after all this is still the beginning of my pirate dream!!!"


Callahan again stayed behind his boomerang, letting the waves hit it. He did not forsee the girl getting up to push Charlie like that. To him Charlie was the perfect weapon, thats why he had recruited her to his crew. Callahan knew that the swordsman might join this battle. He had to end it before he had two opponents to deal with. He lifted hsi boomerang up "I did warn you......" He was ready to throw it and heaved it foward. It flew through the air, the force of the item was blowing anything in its path out of its way. Callahan didnt waste time and ran the other way after throwing it, it was heading towards Genshi.

(LOL, While that does make Shadow look stupid, I just LOVED it, so I'm on it !)

Getting up, he pats his head and then rubs it, before he goes mad. "What the hell was that for ?!! KORAAA ?!! Enough of you guys getting in my fights !!" he says, pointy teeth bein visible again, and white, angry eyes. He then closes his eyes and sighs. *Maaaan, they really, make me look like I'm the weak one.* he thinks.

Meanwhile, someone from earlier on, apparently wasnt done with all this. "Ugghhrr !!!" Arcus gets up, seemingly unaffected from the injuries he received before. He lifts up a very large barrel filled with alchohol, "leftover" from all the carnage before, and is aiming to toss it to the person nearest to him, Genshi.

"..." *Looks like, that fart isnt a fart after all .. alright, works on my favor then, lets ...* he thinks, and then he is right in frond of Genshi, grabbing him and pushing him out of the way, just barely. He gets up "Oi, I want a favor, Genshi .. leave this boomerang freak to me, and handle that idiot from before .. he's strong too .. or, more like, he's in a berseker mode now. Let's call it a tie after we kick their asses, ok ?" he looks towards Callahan and cracks his hands "Alright, whether its you, or the other one .. time to get serious ... !"

Meanwhile, Queen Joanne, has apparently vanished ... where to, thought ..?!

Genshi was knocked over by SHadow. Listening to his demand, Genshi looked over to the other guy, what was his name? He never asked. He stood up again.

'' Okay, you have boomerang man, guess that leaves... the beserker, to me. Watch out for this guy, that boomerang of his is a tough shield.'' he said, looking over the man in the remains of the pub.

'' Throw a barrel at me, will ya?'' Sais Genshi, surprised at the random attack.

He held his swords to his side, doing a full 360 spin as fast as he could, he swung his swords, launching to more spiky waves at Arcus.

((you guys didnt counter the boomerang attack? or at least dodge it, it was hurled at Genshi you know?))

Kirke was surprised by the speed of Diego's attack, and his feet slammed into Kirke's stomach. He was pushed back several feet and forced to grimace. Damn that hurt. "Fine, if you're gonna be like that." Kirke leaped into the air, jumping over Diego, and performing Granate, throwing the exploding air wave at the back of Diego's neck. "Granate!"

((Nik, it was the boomerang we dodged, Arcus didnt threw the barrel yet, sorry I didnt made it clear lol))

Deigo was blown away the attack flying several feet away. He fortunately caught himself and flipped in the air rolling unto the ground, until finally stopping on his ass. "Ha ha ha that was fun. You know..you know that really hurt, but I'm too drunk to feel pain. Wait? that didn't make too much sense. Ah who cares!" Deigo rushed toward the guy moving left and right tipping over a couple of times.

Grace was punching against Charlies flame fists. She was blazing it as she punched, but Graces wet hands negated the flames. It was like watching the flames dissipate as she punched with her fist. Charlie then pulled and threw Grace to the next area. Grace got up and again defended with her arms. The fight was leaving this area.

Callahans boomerang returned to him from the other side and he caught it. He placed it in front of himself "Oh great... now the other sword guy is joining, how exciting....."

Kirke sighed, pulling off his sleeping cap and holding it in his left hand. "Why are you even... I don't even know." He began using Shell Shot, trying to throw it in a spray pattern to send Diego off the half-built ship. That way, any collateral damage would occur to stuff that wasn't quite as valuable.

((Since Pathea isnt posting, I think we need to modify the goals a little bit, I see no other way than, her, along with some of the others being taken by Vizier's minions))

Shadow smirks "Join ? Now, dont be silly, I'm not gonna join him, we merely changed posts .. so I can pulverize you .. !" he cracks his hands again. When he does that, its when he's about to go serious.

Arcus is hit by the ranged attack head on, but doesnt seem to be injured. Or rather, it looks like he doesnt really understand anything and is on a rampage. He throws the barrel towards Genshi, letting out a terrifying roar. After that, he runs towards Genshi, extenting his arm, wanting to reach Genshi and smack him with his forearm and sent him flying.

Genshi jumped for the barrel and sliced it right down the center, it's contents spilling behind him. He wasted no time to rush Arcus. It seems he wanted to strike Genshi, pretty predictable, maybe too predictable. Genshi chose to continue using his swords.

"Shadow's still underestimating boomerang guy. I have to stay focused." he said, swinging his swords towards Arcus.

Grace laid a punch which sent Charlie smashing through the town hall. Their fight had taken place all over and now it had finally ended, Charlie was out cold and Grace was panting as she squatted down "Ah... im hungry...... at least i won my first one on one pirate battle......"

Callahan sighed and then threw the boomerang again "Its time to turn you into mud you over confident boy!!" Callahan had thrown the boomerang with force this time.

((Guys we need to end this, its already June, lets just end our fights with the next post and take the castle))

(ALRIGHT, I am on it, get ready for a pwnage then lol)

While the boomerang is approaching Shadow, he closes his eyes. In his mind, all those dirty things Callahan said about his captain replay "You dared ... to badmouth my captain .. tried to kill my nakama, and now you dare to underestimate me .. but, I will slice you cause you dared to treat HER as an object .. !"
"CROSSGUARD !" he yells and jumps forward, connecting swords with the boomerang, and actually cutting it clean in half. As he moves forward, his eyes narrow and he spins, placing the swords on the side, extented. "Double sidecutter !!!" he moves, going to slice open Callahan's right side of his torso.

Meanwhile, Arcus stops after Genshi's next attack and falls on his knees, seems he has taken just way too much damage. He still roars thought, completely in a rampaging condition and without realizing what he's doing.

Genshi looked at his downed-to-his-knees opponent. Why was he still roaring? He lost, he should live with it. Genshi wrapped his fist in clay and punch Arcus to the ground.

''Well, I won. How're you guys doing?'' he asked, cheerful again.

His Jaw dropped when he saw Shadow cut through the boomerang he could hardly scratch, Shadow was incredible. Genshi had to stronger if he wanted to out do him.

Genshi suddenly rememberd the job given to them.

"Hey Boomerang guy, where does the bastard man live? We need to beat him up and give the queen her life back." he blurted.

Callahan was sliced this time, he lifted his boomerang to high up and was open to the attack from Shadow. He fell down, bleeding and gritting his teeth. He then panted as Gen asked him the question "urghhh... over there, over those hills.. i have no more obligation to them now that i lost....." Callahan passed out on his knees.

Genshi nodded and looked into the direction of said hills.

"Once we beat him, we'll get a new ship. Then we can have a proper kitchen. And then... all our dreams will come true." he said, running towards the hills at full speed.

Grace walked back slowly and finally fell to her feet, she looked to Genshi "oi, is the ship ready yet?? and where is captain?? Jeez, why the hell is everyone so slow? We need to leave like right now.... as in...." Grace passed out.

((guys , gael and Kid we need the ship? is it ready? and the queen??))

((The ship is almost done. Just need the finishing touches))

Deigo was blasted again by the marine's attack. This time he used the explosiong to his advantage. The shockwave from the blast sent him straight forward toward the marine. He couldn't let the marine damage his ship any futher. It was his pride and joy, and a gift for pasica. He couldn't just get destoryed. Diego lifted his leg while soaring toward the marine to kick him right in his chest hopefully knocking him out temporaly.

"I need to fix the ship for my nakama for without a nakama whats the use of a ship? Wait that didn't make sense or does it? Forget it I got to go"

Shadow reaches Grace and picks her up, supporting her with her hand around his shoulders. "Not bad at all .." he says to her, although he knew she probably couldnt listen. He then looks to Genshi "It would appear that something happened while we were occupied here, that crazy girl has also vanished ..." he turns and smacks a kick to Callahan "You, who else was with you, are my nakama over those same hills too ?!"

((Sooooooooo .. what do we do now ?))

((shadow,you handle the queen and we follow you to where Diego is, so we can board the darn ship, Gen, pick up pascia from where ever she may be, god.......))

Genshi stopped and turned to the others. He wouln't be able to handle the bastard man alone. He needed assistance. WHo would go with him? Grace and Shadow were tired from their fights, so that left the Captain. Genshi grabbed her from Alexandra's shoulders and ran for the hills.

"We'll be there in no time, and then we'll save the queen." he said, trying to calm her down in case she got scared of the sudden...kidnapping.

((No one post, wait for me...))

Countless things were happening right now at such fast paces that Pascia was unable to keep track. She jumped off Alexandra's shoulders by herself, adamant to do something about the situation at hand. She was the Captain of the crew. She wasn't some frail slave girl that needed protecting! Well... maybe she was. And she was a bit scared of fighting. But she had power; she knew she was strong. She could handle herself.

So with a sudden shift in her temperament, the once scared slave girl took on the role of the battle-hardened Captain. "Alright guys, let's--whoa! Genshi, wha--!" while Shadow and Grace were handling the attacking pirate crew, Genshi had grabbed her and was now taking her away to some place.

"Genshi, what are you doing!?" she said, as she was pulled away by him. At this moment, all she had to do was apply her Sube Sube powers on her arm to get free of Genshi but she trusted him. If he was dragging her somewhere it had to be important, right?

"W-Wait!" Pascia said, getting an idea. She slipped out of Genshi's grasp, before turning to the rest of the crew, fighting on her behalf. She didn't know what got over her, but she had to do what she had to do. She was the Captain, and she was done being useless. So, with a deep breath, the bellydancer-in-blue shouted out aloud for everyone to hear.

"SMOOTH HIP PIRATES! ENOUGH FOOLING AROUND, BRING THIS STUPID KINGDOM TO THE GROUND AND HAND IT TO ITS RIGHTFUL RULER~!!! TAKE NO PRISONERS!!!"

Her shout echoed throughout the entirety of the town, quite possibly motivating the people who still supporting Queen Joanne to join in the riot as well.

Ilusia Kingdom was now at war.

--

A short distance away...

A certain barefooter was perched atop the roof of a building, one foot atop the edge, looking down at the commotion in the streets between the forces of the bastard King that had taken away her parents from her, she thought, with an eye-narrowing growl, and two powerful pirate crews. The fight had sent the entirety of Ilusia Island on high alert, with the residents being evacuated as soon as possible - which was the King's way of saying "leave ém to die, save me~!". That coward, the blue-haired girl named Reina knew, did not deserve to live. For all the crimes he had committed against Ilusia Kingdom and his people, he deserved to die. And if no one else was going to do it, well, Reina was not everyone else.

"Fairy Feet" Reina leapt off the building, onto the ground below with the grace of a cat. Not a second sound was heard as her incredibly strong but supremely delicate soles impacted against the hard earth. As soon as she landed, the girl dressed in a Japanese school uniform quickly sprinted forth in the opposite direction of all the people running away from the commotion occurring. One of those pirate crews was assisting Queen Joanne; and she knew this perhaps the biggest opportunity she would get if she intended to assassinate the King of Ilusia.

A frictional screech was heard as her feet dragged across the ground, stopping like a high speed car as her ears rattled by the sudden announcement.

"SMOOTH HIP PIRATES! ENOUGH FOOLING AROUND, BRING THIS STUPID KINGDOM TO THE GROUND AND HAND IT TO ITS RIGHTFUL RULER~!!! TAKE NO PRISONERS!!!"

"Hey you," she called, now just behind Pascia and Genshi, who she now recognized to be the Captain on her side of the chessboard. Pascia coughed and wheezed a bit, not used to yelling out aloud like a living loudspeaker like that, and turned around to look at the blue-haired girl. Dropping into her Smooth Hip fighting stance, she immediately challenged the other girl, thinking she was part of the enemy pirate crew.

"Relax, I'm on your side," Reina offered her hand to Pascia, who blinked, releasing her stance, looking incredulously at the girl. Brown eyes met blue. "As the redeemer of my hometown and the one to help the Queen restore her rule, you've won my allegiance," she spoke. Pascia stared at the hand for a bit, before gulping. Wow, she was getting a lot of crewmates from just this adventure alone.

"... What are your talents?"

"What are yours?"

"Dancing and cleaning."

"Natural music," she showed a glimpse of her silver flute.

Pascia grinned. "Welcome to the Smooth Hip Pirates!" she announced, before pointing at Genshi. "That's our Cook, Genshi!" she introduced. "And he's taking us someplace..." both Reina and Pascia looked at Genshi to lead the way to where they were going.
