Serious: The Dusk Pirates; Chapter 4: The big move (Open to the Dusk Pirates)

Manta took a look at Azrael. He sighed and said "Well... You are not injured, so I would suggest you to get to level 4. The injured ones will stay here and come back after Quincy, our doctor, treats our injuries. As for why we are here... You certainly want to learn... We are here because we want to free my brother. My brother is somewhere in this prison and we are searching for him... That's all. As for me, I am Manta, the temporary captain of the Dusk Pirates, who is replacing none other than my brother.". After saying these words, Manta started coughing blood. Apparently, he was too damaged and so even speaking at his state, before getting medical treatment, could be bad for him. And so, seeing that he had no other choice, he decided to stop talking and wait for the others to explain.

Meanwhile, Koga stopped at the stairs as he listened at Frank's voice. He turned his head and watched at the zombie running towards him. With a serious look on his face, the turtle asked him "What is going on Frank? Why are you following me?". Apparently, he did not know. He would wish that he had not stopped... He would wish that he had not stopped to hear what Frank said to him... The bad news...

And at the same time, as these events took place, Miguel started calling somebody with his Den Den Mushi...

"It's R.A.M, he was a mess, he couldn't even write his words properly. So I grabbed him and tried to take him out of the flames' range." Frank said, pausing to compose himself. "But then a strange wind current blasted him away and into the flames, I couldn't save him, I think he didn't make it" He said. He did not cry, but he needed all of his will power to keep himself from punching the walls down. "It's terrible, but we must keep going, let's not make R.A.M's sacrifice a waste" Frank said, watching his back to look for more people who were coming down to the next level.

((Gael: agreed, let's make a new one to go on. Since we're out of Impel Down, I guess w can't really use this one anymore.)

Alex looked around at the group, but no one else seemed to be jumping at the opportunity to get fixed up. So he stuck his katana into the floor and stepped forward and offered Quincy his damaged shoulder.

"I guess I am," Alex said quietly.

((was my previous post not understandable and if so is this understandable? i hope it is because it is litterally the same post))

He was on level 4 (four or F-O-U-R) and the tight and burning marks from the ropes and a scratch would hint on wounds (DAMAGE TO THE BODY IS WOUNDS), unles Manta was having schizophrenia he must have seen hallucinations, because Azrael was on level 4 (four or F-O-U-R) tending to his wounds (DAMAGE TO THE BODY IS WOUNDS) whit a home made first aid (described in previous post).

As Ellen sat on the stairs in impatience, druming her fingers and then said moodily, "Over here doc, got a few bullets in my leg and arm, plus if you wouldn't mind un-doing the stich and sow it up once I get something I need from it." She stared around bored, hoping the performance drug Azrael had given her wouldn't run out quiet yet, afterall, she finally had a chance to get one of her explosives if the doctor complied to her request. "Hurry up already, i'm gonna collapse evetually thanks to that wierd drug thing, so it's best to get this done quickly."

Quincy began working on Alex's shoulder. Everything was falling apart. They were not going at this rate. What would be the point of saving Max if most of the crew ended up dying? Quincy just stayed quiet, and kept these thoughts to himself. He worked on Alex's arm until he finally he did what he could on it. Quincy also handed him a vile of SIQ "Drink this it will help you become stronger." Then Quincy turned to Ellen "You are going to wait til I'm done. I don't like being rushed especially since the slightest mistake can kill you." He sterilized the pincer he used on Alex to pull the bullets out of her body. Then used alcohol to clean out the wounds. Quincy then used sewed up some of the wounds with a needle and thread. He found a strange stitch in her body "I think this belongs to you." Quincy said giving her the strange object.

(OOC: See it now?))

Koga was shocked to hear everything that Frank said him. Apparently, R.A.M. 2 was his best friend in the crew so these news shocked him. For a few seconds the turtle was silent. However, after a while, a tear started coming out of his eye... And many seconds later these tears were so many that nobody would be able to count them. The turtle fell on his knees. He slammed the ground with its front right leg and screamed "R.A.M.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!" with a voice that could be heard to level 4 and level 3 as well... The turtle was hurt from this...

Meanwhile in level 3... Miguel started talking with somebody... It seemed like he was talking for quite a while. He said "Release... all of them!". What could he possibly be releasing? What was going to happen at level 4? What was the Chief Guard's plan? The Dusk Pirates would find out soon! Very soon!

And in the place where , Manta said "Now that most of us seem to be okay with Quincy's help, let's start getting to level 4...". Manta had made his decision and stood up. Then, he started walking towards Level 4 in order to search for Maximillion with the hopes of freeing him...

Alex took the drink and didn't hesitate to gulp it down. Even as he finished it off, he could already feel strength pouring through his limbs.

You're going to be the death of us, Alexander told him. Drinking things like that without making sure they are safe first. How do you know that there will not be any negative side effects? As usual, Alex simply ignored him.

"Thanks Quincy," Alex said,handing the vial back. He stood and pinwheeled his good arm, making sure he could still use it. "Ah, that feels good..." Then he jogged over and ripped his katana from the ground. "And now to follow our fearless-leader-of-no-strategy."

While many people from the crew had already arrived at Level 4, Manta and the rest of the crew that were having their injuries treated by Quincy, the doctor of the Dusk Pirates, were moving towards Level 4 in order to keep searching for Maximillion Maimou the original captain of the Dusk Pirates. The man was trapped in the fifth level of the underwater prison, but the crew did not know it and they had to examine level 4 before heading to level 5 and search for him.

In level 5...

Maximillion is taking a look at Mercury. Apparently, that man seemed to be to scared. He said
"Hm... Dark Lord or how you are called... I have a question to ask you.".
Mercury stopped as he listened to Maximillion, who was speaking with a creepy voice. He said.
"Wh-What is it, sir?".
"Did you really commit big crimes to end up here or are you a mistake as those prisoners claim?"
"It's the armor... The Dark Lord's armor... That's responsible for those crimes! I swear! I did not do anything! That armor is locked in level 5... They took it away from me..." was the response of the Dark Lord to the captain of the Dusk Pirates.
"The armor? What do you mean?"
"Well... I used to wear that armor... It was horrible... It was so bad. I told it to not do those things... But it would not listen to me... That's how we ended up here..."
"It didn't what? That sounds crazy..."
"I swear! It's the armor! It has a mind... It used to speak to me... It controled me..."
"Hmph... I see... And what did the armor do and you ended up here?"
"It... It gathered an army... And attacked places... It took them over and it ruled over them..."
"That sounds interesting... And?"
"It... It was attacked... by the marines... And we both ended up here."
"I see... Hmphmphmphmphmphmph! I came here for something else... But you are interesting, too, Dark Lord."

As soon as Maximillion said that, Jack Yomi, the Vice-Warden of the prison, who was also there, turned his head towards Maximillion. He had just realised that Maximillion was having a plan. The captain of the Dusk Pirates was hinting something... He could understand that... But what did he mean? He needed to learn by the captain himself. He started talking to him

"What do you mean, Dusk Captain?"
"Hmphmphmphmph! You will find out by yourself... Vice-Warden."
"Cut the crap... Tell me before I ask the Marine Headquarters to give me the right to kill you for being a great threat!"
"Just wait, my friend... Just wait."

And... In the depths of level 4...

In the elevator, 7 people with prisoners clothes appear. Those people, all happen to wear prisoners clothes. Who are these people and what is the reason they are free in level 4? Will they be helpful to the Dusk Pirates or not?

Wako was watching a doctor treat a wounded man, at least he assumed he was a doctor. In all of the Chaos Wako was one of the weaker people in the commotion, since he couldn't fight at the state he was in. Looking around the area he was almost traumatized at the damage done to the area, it was unnerving and basically chaos. But he's gotten used to worse living in Impel Down.

Watching the doctor treat the wound Wako realized how weak he was compared to everyone else, since how he was he could not fight and will eventually be stuck in Impel-Down once again. Freedom was more important at the time, even more important then his massive hang-overs. Wako finally got the courage to walk towards the Doctor (Quincy) and ask a very strange question.

"Hello Mr.Doctor, could you spare me some Booze? It's more of an emergency then you think... I'll even try to help the most i can"

Quincy looked at the stranger who asked him a even stranger question "I don't drink sorry. I don't have any booze, but I have somethin that should give you a kick." Quincy pulled out an energy steriod from his medical kit, and gave it to Wako "This will help u become stronger. Be warned it halves your life span. You use it at ur own risk." Quincy could use one too, but anymore would kill him. He walked down toward level 4 followin Mantra.

Wako watched the doctor attempt to give him a pill, which halved his life span in exchange for great strength, something Wako didn't need other then a strong drink,"Great, out of ALL the pirate doctors i get the ONE sober one. Don't you have ANYTHING with alcohol in it? If i don't receive at least a cups worth of it i will be useless here, even with the added strength." Wako could only fight while drunk, this was getting frustrating. He could feel the presence in the room, if something bad would happen Wako would be worthless and die in the hands of the enemy, going back to his cell was something he was not going to allow.

As the crew moved on its way in level 4, they finally arrived. The Dusk Pirates were finally there and they had reunited with the others. Frank, Koga and Dio could be seen by the crew. They were all around... Finally, the crew was together once again. Manta was quite injured, but he was able to move thanks to the medical attention he received from Quincy. He prepared to talk to his fellow crewmembers but before he did, seven people appeared in front of him and the rest of the crew. These people did not look like guards at all... Who could these people be.

The first one of them was a giant man. He did not wore anything except from pants and he was so bulky that Koga believed that he would get killed if he received a punch from him. He did not have any hair on his body at all and his skin color was red...

[Introduction Box]
[Name: Clayman K. Lay]
[Bounty: 50,000,000 Beli]
[Occupation: Former First Mate of the Jugger Pirates]

The second person in the line was a man with clothes similar to those that Maximillion wore. The clothes could even be Maximillion's. Manta could not understand. However, his face was much different. He had pale skin, red hair and very big eyes. His skin was very pale. Manta had not seen a person with pale skin like that before. The man asked
"Dusk Pirates... Where do you think you are going?"

[Introduction Box]
[Name: Jugger Mugger]
[Bounty: 50,500,000]
[Occupation: Former Captain of the Jugger Pirates]

As soon as he said that, another man interrupted him. He had pale skin, not as pale as Jugger's, but still pale. He wore a grey, circular hat and moved strangely. He wore a grey suit and carried a staff on his hand which he moved in a way that his mastery over the item could be easily seen even from an amateur fighter. He said
"I suppose your question was ritorical, Jugger, right?"
"Kiss my ass, Reedlair." Jugger responded, making Reedlair angry.

[Introduction Box]
[Name: Reedlair]
[Bounty: 50,000,000]
[Occupation: Former Captain of the Question Pirates]

"Shut up both of you." the fourth person in the line said while moving a cane he held to strike Reedlair. Reedlair easily blocked it with his staff and stared at him angrily as well. The man had hair that made him look like a lion. He wore a red suit, he carried a cane and he had a red cape. He also wore strange red sunglasses that covered his eyes.

Upon seeing him, Koga run towards the crew. He had known that man... He read about him in the newspapers... He was Catman, a former pirate with a bounty of 60,000,000 beli!!! The turtles was sweating just by staring at him. He had read what he had done in the newspapers and he was afraid of even telling it...

[Introduction Box]
[Name: Catman M. Nacta]
[Bounty: 80,000,000 Beli]
[Occupation: Former Captain of the Cat Pirates]

Then, the fifth person started talking. This time, the person was way different from the others, just like everyone else. He had a light blue face that was coated with a bubble. He carried an anchor on his face and seemed to have a very advanced suit on his body. He said to the other people who were fighting
"Enough... If we kill each other there is no way we will get freed... Pathetic people..."

[Introduction Box]
[Name: "Lord" Frost]
[Bounty: 45,000,000 Beli]
[Occupation: Former First Mate of the Cat Pirates]

When he listened to Frost, the sixth man took his turn and started talking. He said while coughing
"Right..." and he took a stance to show that his intentions in the encounter with the Dusk Pirates were not good...
This man was normal looking. He was looking just like a human. Unlike his other crewmates, he had prisoner clothes for some reason. However, over these clothes he wore a fur coat and he had a cigar in his mouth.

[Introduction Box]
[Name: Baron Green]
[Bounty: 51,500,000 Beli]
[Occupation: Former First Mate of the Question Pirates]

Finally, the seventh man started speaking. He said to everyone
"Silence fools, or I will all kill you." and they all stopped in an instant.
This man was the most weird out of these people. He wore a penguin outfit, making himself look like a penguin. His face was covered and it could not be seen. However, those who used to read newspapers would understand who that person was...

[Introduction Box]
[Name: "The Penguin"]
[Bounty: 100,000,000 Beli]
[Occupation: Former Boss of the Grand Line Underworld]

The penguin kept talking... He said "Dusk Pirates... We are here... To take your head."

What were the intentions of these seven people? Did they come for good or for trouble?! These questions would be answered soon... The encounter of the Dusk Pirates with these people would definitely be unavoidable! Who would emerge victorious?

After quincy fixed up her wounds, he gave Ellen a metallic rod, which he found in an open stitch on ellens arm which he also re-closed. "Thanks doctor, this tube is going to be a bigger help than you would think by looking at it.", Ellen told him with a maical grin, and followed the other Dusk pirates to the lower level. After the seven criminals introduced themselves, Ellen stared carefully at them before turning to her conditonal acomplacies and asking with the first words of happiness for a long time in this hell hole; "Does this mean I get to blow them up? Or are they gonna fight some people for us? Either way is good for me." She then started eyeing up the convicts clutching the metalic rod.

Quincy walked unto the fourth level only to be comforted with 7 dangerous criminals of the prison. Reunited with the rest of the crew as well as some new recruits had made Quincy confindent "Why are you guys blocking out way when you can escape from this prison? I'm sure you guys don't want your butts kicked."

Wako looked around for Booze, but couldn't find any. The doctor had left to reach his crew and left in quite a hurry. It seemed like trouble that the doctor himself had to take care of. Wako ignored him and continued running towards different areas, looking for the kitchen, but realized he wouldn't find any in time. After giving up a ray of hope showed itself in the middle of a battle field, 20 feet away was a Marine with 2 bottles of Sake by himself, This was Mcwickeys chance.

He walked slowly towards the Marine and took the big bottle of Sake he left unfinished before Passing out. Wako was now walking towards the direction the doctor went, thinking that the best way to escape this horrid place, was with the pirates that had broken in. But he stopped, comfronted by 7 menacing Looking prisoners, some of which he knew from rumours, others that simply looked weird.

"I got the booze no thanks to SOMEONE, I hope i dont ever have to drink after this.." Wako had the bottle of Sake in his hand, it was almost completely filled. In his prisoners sleeves he had made a few of his inventions possible, even with the few objects he had to use in the ship. his shoes were turned into Red Clown shoes, as he took off his pants, showing he had Another more colorful pair under the prison pants, The inventions he had he then stored inside his Clown pants making Baggier. From his pants he pulled out a top hat, which he put on his head, after a sudden pause he had a shocked look on his face.

"I almost forgot the most important part!!" Wako took a make up kit and painted his face White, making his lips red. "Alright, now im ready." Wako was now ready to fight, but not phisically. "Now... how do i use this stuff again?.. damn I'm gunna have to Get drunk to remember.." Wako held the bottle close to him in case he needed to drink up, he was going to have the worst hangover afterwards, but if it meant leaving this hell, then it was worth it.

Ellen stared at Wako with alook of confusion on her face for a few moments, until she brough therself to ask; "What the hell? Why are you dressed like that? It aint gonna help you much just dressing up like a clown and drinking!" She then refocused her attention onto the convicts and she did, she realised that some of them where seriously dangerous criminals, all of them with bounties that greatly put her's to shame. Damn it, these guy can easily mop the floor with us, well at least with me! Good thing I still have this tube or else I wouldn't even stand five seconds., The explosives obsessive thought to herself, as she flicked the lid open on her tube, reading herself to remove whatever the contents where.

Alex landed next to Quincy, facing the wall of men in front of them. He looked each man up and down before rolling his eyes, looking exasperated.

"Why do we even bother?" he mumbled. "It's just one freak show after another."

Says the guy with two minds in one brain, Alexander pointed out.

"Oh shut up," Alex snapped back. Hefting his recently acquired katana, he pointed the weapon at the penguin guy. "Hey! Nutcase! I've got an idiot for a temporary captain, I've been poisoned, and I've had my side cut open by a guy with anger issues. To put it all bluntly, I am in a REALLY bad mood right now. So just save us the trouble of taking out the trash and haul yourselves to the dumpster."

Real intelligent play on words there, Alexander said.

Alex didn't bother replying. Not that he was worried that people might think he was crazy, (even he thought he was crazy) but rather because he was not sure if Alexander was being sarcastic or not. Actually, he wasn't sure if Alexander was capable of sarcasm.

"For your information I LIKE this clown suit" Wako was talking to the girl that pointed out his outfit, it took him years to make all the gadgets and clothing in the cell. He was glad he had hidden the flower in his pockets before the Marines had caught him, putting it back on the top hat he was wearing now. That was one of the few things he remembered about his gadgets, the flower that was always placed on his hat. Wako looked up at the 7 prisoners.

"Wait a minute... so you guys put out of ONE hell.. and take me to see 7 DEVILS?!?! Why do i feel like I am going to die trying to do what you guys are trying to do T.T, I need a drin-.... NO don't tempt me Liquor! you will not take over my life!!" Wako held the Liquor away from his lips, holding it by the cap.

He looked to his side, to the man that was talking to himself. "Huh... and i thought 'I' was weird..." Wako couldn't help but let a small chuckle from his mouth, attempting not to laugh loud enough for him to hear it.

Frank took his rightful place next to Alex and Quincy. The exhaustion he had after using his special Ghost-Kata was starting to where off, and he couldn't wait to kick some more enemies in their holy parts. This whole Jail invasion was starting to play games on the zombie's weak mind, he felt nothing but anger and excitement. He had no idea about the bounties of any of the enemies he was facing, nor did he know they were actually prisoners until his crew mates pointed it out.

"Tell you what..." Frank said as he pulled hard on a loose thread that was hanging from one of his open stitches. Although fully open, his arm never released a drop of blood. "Either you move out of our way" He said, pulling the thread a second time, tightening it's grip over his arm. "Or end up like me", another pull. He then jammed the stitching needles into his arm and sealed the stitch. "And trust me, the first death is a painful one" he said with a grin.

Wako witnessed the man Pull an open wound closed, by tightning his own stitches, Wako now had a thought in mind - Did he ENJOY doing that to himself?! OMG on top of having an invisible person he talks to he is also a MASOCHIST!! - Wako looked around him, trying to see if there was anything suspicious in the group, was he the only freak in the show? or was this in actuality a circus with everyone here having their own Freakish attribute. Wako was trying his best not to Freak out at the thought, but let lose a small peace of what is on his mind, letting it slip through his mouth.

"Great now I am stuck with freaks of nature!" Irony being Wako himself was a bit of a freak, but in his mind he was nothing more then another normal person walking down the streets, his clown clothes being his normal clothes. Needless to say that he attracted alot of attention he never noticed.

The penguin smiled as he looked at the Dusk Pirates who were having a conversation with each other. He moved his head around and a "crack" sound was heard all the time he moved it. Then, as soon as he was done, he raised his right hand and pointed towards the middle, where the one who called them freakshow was. He said "Freakshow, you said? You are not any better... I see a turtle, a zombie around you and a strange clown looking guy... And a man with a chicken on his shoulder. You are way more freakier than we are!!!"

"Indeed..." Reedlair said while moving his staff in a circular way. Afterwards, he stopped moving it like that and pointed towards Quincy with it who asked a question. He explained "Hahahaha. We would have done that already... However, we would still be wanted... However, with Miguel's interference, our bounties will be erased if we manage to stop you... It's quite strange that Miguel freed us to get you. You have probably got on his nerves... I mean, who would free a bunch of dangerous prisoners to defeat a few people who just appeared in the scene? It's quite ironic... Haha."

"Not that it matters...." Clayman said while having his amrs crossed and while waiting to listen to the response of Jugger who would definitely comment something bad about Reedlair's speech. These two were something like rivals when they started working as pirates and that rivalry still used to go. He knew both of them really well and he knew how they acted in every situation, serious or not.

"Kiss my ass after such a speech, Reedlair..." Jugger said, in a similar way like before. He smiled, waiting to listen to the answer of an irritated Reedlair, but before Reedlair responded, Catman calmed him down. Then, he said while cleaning his glasses "Anyway... We need to get done with this... Move forward Frost. Pick your guy and start your battle."

Immediately after he listened to that, Frost, the former first mate of the Cat Pirates who served under Catman, moved forward in order to do what his captain said. With his freaking looking face, he looked at the Dusk Pirates. He was carefully choosing his opponent. He raised the anchor he carried and pointed towards Wako, showing that he chose him as his opponent.

By looking at that, Manta was surprised. He said "What the *EFF* are you doing here? Do you want me to kill you before you even see it coming?!"

"Relax and watch, angry-boy." Baron responded while sighing. He said "You probably do not know the rules so I understand. Listen how this is going to work. We have 7 fighters and you are quite a few... So, our game is going to work like this: The battles will be one on one or two on two. The person from each side will get to choose an opponent. However, that opponent will not be revealed until their time to battle starts. When a side wins a battle, that side's next fighter will get to choose their opponent and start the battle. It's simple. The one winning gets to choose... So choose carefully. In order for you to understand, our side chose first and Frost is going against that strange clown who likes talking a lot. Do you understand?"

"Wait a minute!" Manta said, worried because of the fact that he did not know Wako at all. How could he trust a man he met a while ago? He did not even know if he was strong or not and so he needed to assist him somehow. He said "I call a two on two battle, if possible. I want the first battle to be a two on two."

"Perfect..." Catman said, while listening to the words of the temporary captain of the Dusk Pirates. "I guess we will get to end you faster..." he completed while looking at Clayman, with a look that showed him that he should move as he would be the second fighter of their group.

As his time to battle came, Clayman looked at his opponents. He looked at all of them. They all seemed strong. However, there was somebody who looked weak in his eyes. A woman that was standing with all those man, Ellen, the explosive specialist of the crew was his target. He said "I pick the woman..." while pointing towards her.

"Great..." Reedlair said as soon as his comrade chose his enemy. He spoke his words quickly "Now that the sides have chosen an opponent, time to set up the stage...". Immediately, after saying that, the man moved his staff upwards and metal bars sprouted from the ground and Wako and Ellen, as well as Clayman and Frost were closed in a big cage. "I forgot to mention that with my Ori-Ori no Mi abilities, I am responsible for setting up the stages..."

"That bastard!" Koga said with an irritated face as he realised that the game was a trap. With the enemies setting up the stage, the crew would be in greater trouble than before. He knew that Reedlair would set up the stages in the favor of the enemies... That was pretty cheap. But, there was nothing he could do. Manta seemed to be agreeing with that... The captain did not trust Wako as he had not seen him battling, but he trusted Ellen... She was the one to kill "The Brute" after all. She was stronger than she looked.

The battles of level 4 were about to start! Who would emerge victorious in the Frost and Clayman vs Wakko and Ellen battle?! Everyone would find out soon...

Wako was starstruck when the man with a high bounty chose wako as his opponent, he was undoubtedly strong. Wako was scared beyond belief, quickly turning his smile into a frown. The second the area was sealed Wako felt his knees get weak, the man was in front of him and was about to try to kill him.

"I think i just pissed myself.." Wako was not serious about the statement but he might as well have, he was lucky his bladder was empty from the years in level 3, otherwise the area they were fighting in would be a lot more slippery. Wako was trapped, but even in the situation where he thought he as going to die he refused to drink the alcohol, he put the bottle safely on the edge of the Cage. Ignoring the fact that he needed it to be physically able to fight, but he was persistent in attempting the fight without the HORRIBLE hang-over he would have later on.

Wako put up his fists in an old macho style having them both stretch far out in front of him with both fists aiming upwards. The bottle safely left on the corner of the cage. "Tell you what, i cut you a deal... you let me live and let me pass and i PROMISE i will give you a very colorful peace of Yarn i found in my cell!" Wako was being serious, since the yarn was the only thing he willing to give away. He kept a very serious face with his clown make-up, making it hard to realize if he was serious or not.

Frank was officially pissed off. 'RULES?! In a prison breakin?!!!!? Are they joking?!' He thought. Things got even more annoying when the enemies allowed themselves to choose their opponents first, AND make their own arena. He thought about rampaging the bars of the formed cage and break them, but then a thought popped into his head. He knew neither of the crew mates that were fighting for the Dusk pirates, nor did he care about them very much. The real treat was that eventually, his turn to fight will come, and he won't allow anyone to disturb his fight. And so, he held his rage inside, for later use, making his purple face gain a faint shade of red.

Seeing the opponents the two Dusk members were about to face, Frank could only think of one possible outcome: defeat. He never saw either of the two fight, and had no idea what they were capable of. "Anyone wanna place a bet?" Frank asked around.
