Serious : The Black Rose gains knights ((Open to all Black Rose recruits))

[[Water 7]]

Ariel slurped her milkshake as she read the comic in the cafe. The man sitting next to her sighed as he pushed the papers to her "Its a big one..... are you sure you want to do this right now? I heard you have some other big job?" Ariel giggled , but not from the mans comment but rather the comic, she then sighed "I figured i needed a exercise and this place seems like just the place, all those pirate battles here must be damaging the place right?" The man nodded and pointed to the first photo, it was a young light skinned man with wavy white and black hair. "That Razor Monroe, former pirate captain, now retired, working as a hired hitman. Alot of people want him dead, he is dangerous...."
[[Razor Monroe]]
[[Former bounty 150,000,000]]
[[hitman for hire]]

The man then pointed out "This is the man they call Piston. He is a crime boss of another one of those local mafia families, he is a big target as well, but i here he is a cyborg, so watch yourself, cyborgs are tricky to kill there." It was a large bald man wearing a red and white suit with a gattling gun in place of where his left hand should be.

[[Piston Terico]]
[[former bounty 160,000,000]]
[[Local Crime Boss]]

He then spread the photos to show a man with red eyes wearing a jet black kimono. He had about four swords to his waist and a scar across his face. He had jet black hair and wore sandals. the man shivered and then sighed "This guy is super dangerous Ariel, this is Jet Kizaki, the black demon..... he is said to have slaughtered 2 mafia families single handedly , that's about 100 guys he has killed in the last month, they wont even put a proper bounty on him, he is working for Terico as a guard, but his motivations are unknown...."
[[Jet Kizaki "Black Demon"]]
[[Bounty unknown]]
[[Bodyguard and swordsman]]

Ariel whistled, this was a tough bunch especially the swordsman, she then nodded "Thanks alot , ill try and get them in." The man shook his head "Ariel, this is too much for a one man job... you might get killed, at least call for back up... or the freaking marines!!!!" Ariel laughed and then stood up throwing some coins to the shop keeper. Ariel then grinned "Ill be ok"

Dan rowed away from the ship and towards the island. He watched as the passengers that still clung to life tried to get out of the sinking grave. He put the cigarette to his mouth again and smirked.
Taking down two ships in one week, he was starting to get the hang of this pirate hunting. He could make a living out of it if it payed for the booze and cigarettes.
Booze
He suddenly remembered his plunder and stopped rowing to yank the cork out of his bottle. He swallowed the stuff so fast it barely touched his throat on the way down.
That was some good-
He checked the label, it read: Raw Alcohol
He simply shrugged and put it to his mouth again
"Waste not..."

He rowed into the harbour and hopped up onto the pier with ease, dropping a few coins into the harbour attendant's pudgy hand as he moved along the pier. He didn't wait to hear the man shout after him about the fact that the "coins" were buttons. He walked straight on, hands in pockets with a bored expression on his face an a cigarette hanging from his mouth lazily, his trademark appearance. Even the way he walked was lazy. He approached a cafe and walked in.
He needed something to eat.

Marcus
Marcus kicked up the door to the cafe, and the cafe became silent as the night, he walked over to his usual table to find someone sitting by it allready(piston), he tapped the guy on the sholder and said You sit at my table move or die, while he said so he pulled out his trustfull musket, and pointed it at the guys head, just one simple finger movement and the guy would be dead instantaneous.

Rysher
Right behind Marcus came one of his bodyguards Rysher Mc Follen, he stood there as his boss pulled the gun at the guy who had been so rude to sit at his Table, the last guy who had done so, had ended up in the basement of the worts gay whore house in the town, and if he hadn't gotten out yet, he was still there, so if this guy was lucky he would be killed and not put in the same basement.

Dan watched as two fishmen rushed passed him and barged up to a bald guy in a red suit shouting and ranting at him about some trivial problem. Dan simply walked over to a small table and dropped into a chair, one arm slung over the back.
He called over to a waitress that seemed flustered from the whole fishmen incident.
She righted her short, mousy brown hair and tried to pull on a fake smile before she greeted the man in the dark suit.
"And what would...Uh...What would you like, sir?" she seemed flustered.
"One grog please," Dan showed one of his rarely seen smiles.
"Don't worry about them," he said, pointing to the fishmen as she turned to go.
"Most of those types are like that, but don't worry: they couldn't fight for shit so don't you start getting worried."
The girl smiled, seemingly taken in by the man's lazy charm, but a moment later she lost the smile and bore her worried frown as the fishman pulled out a musket.
Tsk, amateur. Dan thought to himself, popping a cigarette into his mouth.
Can't wait to see what happens when the marines hear. It aught to be classic. Better have some popcorn at hand.
His mouth bordered on a grin.
All this smiling today. He must have drunk way to much of that raw stuff back on the boat.
He sat back and waited for his grog, lazily watching the happenings of the cafe.

[[At the cafe where MArcus, Rhyster and Daniel are]]

Piston puffed his cigar as the shark fishman threatened him. Piston didnt mind though. Piston knew who the fishman was "Marcus..... didnt you know? This is my turf now..... you and your little clan of mongrels have put up a brave resistance, but it was all for nothing....."

From the other side of the room, there was a focus on Marcus, it was a man holding a rifle with one hand. It was Razor Monroe. He whipped his hair back and pulled the trigger "See ya later daddyo, Wire Bullet!!" HE fired a bullet which seemed to be attached by wire to his rifle at Marcus.

There was another man , his black hair stood out as he entered the bar which was messy. A bunch of people began running out. The man in the black kimono drew his sword lightly and then muttered, "Abyss..." It was a swift strike aimed at Marcus and Rhyster from behind, the cut was so large it covered the roof and the table in front.

Marcus:
Marcus heard the shoot coming from behind and grabbed the man infront of him turning him around using as a human shield for the bullet that was flying towards, him, he ducked down behind the stranger and pointed the gun he had towards the place where the shot had came from and fired.

Rysher:
Rysher heard a person entering the cafe and turned around to see a guy coimg towards them with a sword in his hands,Rysher yelled Ink gun and then fired a high speed bullet of ink towards the persons face if this hit the eyes he would be blinded for a short period(3 posts).

The man Marcus had pulled was one of Pistons surbordinates since Piston was sitting down and his goon got up. The man was impaled by the bullet and was dragged by Razor . Razor used the man as a block from the bullets from Marcus. Razor hissed and threw away the dead body in his hand. "Geez.. getting blood on my hookline man, not cool, you dig?" He then jumped back as the roof caved in.

It seemed that the slice was so strong it cut through and destroyed the roof, sending pieces off the roof of the cafe onto the floor and it split the ink sent to Jet. Jet felt some of the ink reach his cheek, he just wiped it off as Piston walked beside him "Good job Jet, you and Razor are worth every penny" Jets eye glared at Marcus and Rhyster "You should stop appearing in open areas like this , its too obvious and your opening yourself to these sorts of attacks making my job hard you know...." Razor jumped beside Jet "Hey Mr samurai man, why'd you go destroy the cafe for? Cool cats dont do that man" Piston laughed "I knew i could count on you two somehow, Razor i gave you a job right, do it now!! Or your not getting paid anything" Piston adjusted his bowler cap. Razor clicked his tongue "yeah got it boss man, whatever you need, gotta kill that Marcus guy right? But he's got a bodyguard too though" Jet then walked foward, his kill lust was emitting from his body, it should have felt disgusting and sharp, his pressure was giving off the impression like he was a menacing black demon about to massacre his enemy. Razor backed off slightly sweating and even Piston was concerned. But then Jet said "Let me deal with the body guard, you just take the gang boss, if he is dead then there is no other threat....." Razor wiped his brow and then twirled his rifles in his hand "Ok, cool daddy o, for a moment there you scared me..... well time to get to work." Jet walked and then twirled his katana sending a air slice "Shiver" The slice was sharp enough and was headed for Rhyster.
As this went on , Razor fired a shot from his rifle at Marcus, seperating him from Rhyster, or at least trying to.

[[From a roof across town]]
Ariel was sitting with her binoculars and then crunched on the biscuit which she had in her other hand. She sighed "Holy crap those guys are strong, the fishmen are strong too, but who are they? I wanted to finish early so i could go and read, but this will take forever...." Ariel then saw Piston walk away "Maybe i should deal with baldy.... but he's a cyborg, and they are tricky........ fine then...."

Marcus:
Marcus looked up to the roof af part fell towards him, Rytsher jump Marcus said before he jumped himself throught the holes in the roof, up in the air Marcus took a quick over look at the chaos they had made, he saw the two guys who had attacked them, this was a little more chaos than I wanted, but you have to take what you get, and now it is time to take those guys life then he said to Rytsher you ready Rysher, I take the sharpshooter you take the other guy and with that he pulled his rifle and aimed at the sharpshooters head and pulled the trigger.

Rytsher:
Rytsher heard Marcus's order and did as he was told, when he heard the order about taking care of the other guy he smiled and said it would be an honor then he took out his cutlass he was ready for battle, but he did somethign unusual, he turned the cutlass around facing the tip of the sword down towards the ground, with his face now not blocked by the sword he fired of 3 ink bullets towards the other guy.

He walked out of the remains out of the cafe door that had surprisingly survived the carnage. He knelt down and let the girl's head, now bruised and dusty with a blood trail smeared from her mouth to her cheek, drop to the floor with the rest of her equally damaged body.
She was hardly recognisable as the sweet, young girl who had been in the process of serving him. Her hair was ruffled and fallen plaster was inserted between layers of hair. Dust covered her entire body, her yellow checked dress and apron coloured into their own shade of brown.
Dan simply left her there for the growing crowd that watched the scene with gasps and screams(yet keeping their distance from the chaos).
He looked down at her before walking off towards the fighters.
She'll live.
Then he started off.
She wasn't my type anyway.

He saw the back of the man in the bowler hat oozing with false ego and stupidity.
So, these guys have some in them after all. He thought, while lighting up a cigarette and popping it into his mouth.
Bad habit, should stop soon. He tossed away the last thought as soon as it came. Even though he wanted to quit, it was his Achilles Heel. He could take down a fully manned ship with a certain amount of ease but he knew he would never quit his dirty habit.
It isn't an addiction. It's a habit. He tossed that thought as well. Even though he knew it was true.

Suddenly he saw some action. Some kimono wearing swordsman was changing. Not in any way that Dan could immediately see (as he was a yard or two away) but in some other way.
I can sense it.
Dan had never doubted his senses but didn't like it when people gave it supernatural connotations. There are no such thing as ghosts.
He thought about a true phrase he had heard before while he loaded his flintlock pistol lazily.
His wife had told him that.
He stopped himself from rubbing his small ring. The only item that remained from his past. He exhaled the smoke out of the corner of his mouth and raised the gun towards the red suited, bowler hatted man's direction.
"See you in hell," he whispered hoarsely.
Then he fired. The bullet leaving the gun destined for the back of the crime boss's head.

[[ Razor vs Marcus]]

Razor twirled his rifle to block the shot, he then fired two more shots, these were normal bullets heading for Marcus. Razor dashed to the left aiming to bring Marcus with him.

[[Jet vs Rhyster]]

Jet was feeling particularly murderous , he pulled out two swords instantaneously and sliced the ink, some of the ink dropped on his cheek and clothes, but he ignored this. He then growled "fishmen should stay in the water...... Black stroke!!!" He aimed a X cut to Rhysters body.

[[Piston Vs Daniel]]

Piston was pushed aside by one of his lower ranked surbordinates "BOSS !!!' The bullet hit the man, and a few of Pistons men stood in front to protect him. Piston growled "Who the hell are you?"

Marcus:
Still up in the air Marcus had so other choice, he started to spin around in the air, then he streched out his legs fireing of a 360 degree Rankyaku wave, the wave sliced the bullets in half and the remaining of the wave was heading for the sniper guy, he would have no other choice than to jump so Marcus reloaded his rifle and was ready to fire at any moment.

Rytsher:
Rytsher took the cutlass he had and turned it around again to block the move, their sword where rubbing against each other so it allmost made sparks, this had turned into a close combat battle, and Rytsher took this window opportunity to fire off an ink bullet, there was do way to dodge.

Daniel simply shrugged when his bullet hit the wrong head.
At least he was on target.
He heard the man asking for his name and cringed. The voice annoyed him.
"Well, I don't usually tell my name to a stiff."
The words were mumbled but he wished the man could somehow hear it.
He walked a few paces forward and planted his hands in his pockets. The cigarette dangled from the tip of his mouth, lifting and dropping as he talked.
"If we're asking questions, why are you wearing a red and white suit?"
He pulled a gun from his pocket and fired it at a member of the crime boss's entourage that had been trying to sneak up on him from the side.
He was dead before he hit the floor.
He returned the smoking gun to his pocket and turned back to the crime boss with a fake smile that disappeared as fast as it appeared.

It was a fine day, as ever! Xzelaxer said to himself as he yawned. This middle age guy, was a Bounty Hunter dreaming on making a name for the weapon he is using. He called himself "Three Blood" since the weapon name Three Blood itself.

I love it here! I wish I can stay here. Well, I need to go hunting again. I'll be more careful this time since I nearly was caught by a Whirlpool last time. How stupid of me! Again, the man talk to himself. While he was walking he see a ruckus at a bar, ordinary citizen are going berserk. Some of them stay, and watch the show as the bar was toring apart itself. What a messy! Wait, maybe there're some strong pirate over there. Hunting Time!! As Xzelaxer done his speech, he hastily rush toward the bar. He saw some person battling. He saw fishmen and tough-looking guy. Maybe those guy are strong. Especially that guy whose with Kantana. Wait, what's with that spiece? A fish? No, a human. What on earth is that? As a guy whose never seen or heard of fishmen, he don't know what it was. He try to catch up with the fighting first so he could get what's going on. He started to focus on watching the match and suddenly start to grin when an idea pop up on his mind. Good thing. I'll be joining the fight as soon as I catch up with the show. Many person are watching and if I show them the power of Three Blood weapon, they will amazed and start to gossip.

[[Razor vs Marcus]]

Razor dashed and then jumped along side the wall, he climbed the building nearby and swinged to the ledge above from a rope. Razor fired a shot which spread into 5 shots "POT SHOT!!!!" He climbed up, he was now heading for the roofs to get a vantage point.

[[Jet vs Rhyster]]

Jet was clashing with Rhyster in the middle, the fishman had a obvious advantage being a fishman, but Jet was no pushover, he was thrusting his sword to kill. His thrusts were like gun shots at close range. The ink bullet was fired at close range, and Jet dropped his second sword, he twirled it with a reverse grip and kneeled down , he sliced the ink bullet, but the ink sprayed on his face, he had sliced the little part of it to just avoid his eyes. "Your a messy fighter i must say.... and it seems we have a guest...." He was refering to Xzelazer,

[[Piston vs Daniel]]

Piston growled in annoyance, this man was obviously experienced, and was not a fishman, he lifted up his left hand, which had a gatting gun in place "Get him boys!!!" Pistons goons started appearing and surrounding Daniel, some with knives and some with pistols. Two of them dashed at Daniel, one with a cutlass, he aimed to slice Daniels torso, while the other fired a shot aimed at his torso.



[[

Xzelaxer was watching the match closely especially the match of a Fishmen against the Two-Kantana User. As he try to concentrate, he heard the two-kantana user talk something about a new guest. At the moment, he knew he was referring to him as that guy took a glance on himself a while ago.

Taking out two of his sword he lay the sharp pointer on the floor as he walked into the main spot dragging his two sword. I overheard you...Black Demon, Jet Kizaki. You're on my target for quite some time, it surprised me that I've seen you here. I just realized it was you just now because of that stupid sword skill at the moment. As he finish his speech, he turned toward the fishmen who was fighting Jet a while ago. Hey you, creepy fish! Well, I don't really know what you are and didn't even know you exist at all. Normally, I took out my foe all by myself...but for him, Can we Tag-Team?

Marcus:
Marcus heard the gun shoot and quickly went into a nose dive toward the ground to awoid the bullets, but he was unfortunante, one bullet hit him his right arm, he landed on the ground and grabbed for his right arm, it hurt like hell, but he had to withstand the pain, his life was at stake, so he got up ripped up a part of his shirt and bandaged the wound, then he looked towards the place where the sniper guy was, the glare he had in his eyes was so intense that if looks could kill, this sniper guy would have been dead right now, still with the rifle in his hand he dashed towards the sniper person and stuck the rifle back in it's casing and took out his two revolvers, while in the air he fired off three shoots from each gun, then he put the revolvers away and pulled his cutlass, now this guy was donefor.

Rytsher:
Rytsher heard the tag team request, and replied Now would be a good time then jumped away from they guy he now knew name was jet.

Xzelaxer heard that the fishmen guy accept his request. He grin, and think to himself Not a hard one here. I've though he's gonna refuse. Look like everything run smoothly...so we'll be eliminate Jet.

Xzelaxer run up to Jet as he jumped half way, Sorry, Mr.Jet, but I'll be taking the first move. Oh and you know this weapon? Two Sword Style, Slicing Cambo! Laying in the sky, Xzelaxer do a slice technique sending out 2 Slice attack running vertically toward Jet, as Xzelaxer intending to give him a Greeting Skill.

[[Jet vs Rhyster and Xzelaxer]]

Jet , kicked the floor and dashed to the left , dodging Xzelaxers slice attacks, which hit the floor. HE stood on one knee and held his two swords in reverse grip. He sliced them foward "DARK WAVE!!!!!" HE sent twirling air blades at Xzelaxer now looking like he was in a hurry.

[[Razor vs Marcus]]
Razor felt the glare pierce him as he began to sweat "holy shit daddy o this guy seems angry!!" He fired his rifle aiming at one of the shots from the revolver, the other shot hit him in the arm and grazed his torso by mere inches. Razor jumped back as his arm was bleeding. He saw MArcu come with his cutlass "You brought a sword to a sniper fight? Not cool man!!" He twirled his rifle and kicked his other rifle from his hand, it fired 2 bullets at Marcus which burst into a net "TRAP NET!!!" He was aiming to trap MArcus.

Marcus:
I brought the sword to deal with dirty tricks like that Macus said before cuting the nets too pieces, then he landed right infront of the sniper guy kicked away his rifles and said beg, beg for mercy, and I might spare your life but before the sniper guy could answer he sliced toward him with the cutlass saying Lied and watched as the blade fell towards the sniper guys head.

Rytsher:
Rytsher sttod there and looked at the new guy, then he figured out that he didn't want to stand around any more, so he dashed towards the guy called Jet yelling Octo fist Barage and where planing to beat the hell out of Jet.

Dan flicked another gun out of his pocket and shot at the bullet that flew towards him. He then slipped under the cutlass and kicked at the goon's ankle, trying to trip him. He didn't know if any of the attacks would hold out for him but he was pretty damn sure if his experience was anything to go by.

[[Razor vs Marcus]]

Razor was cut, at this close range he had no more tricks to give. The battle was over and he clearly was defeated and now heading for death.

[[Jet vs rhyster and Xzlaxer]]

Jet turned and held his swords to clash with Rhysters fists. He then growls as he moves his sword in his right hand to cut Rhyster with a strong thrust.

[[Dan vs Piston and goons]]
The mafia member fell as he was ripped by Dan. the others tried to thrust where Dan had landed and some were surrounding him. Piston yelled "Dont you dare let one man beat all of you!!!"

Xzelaxer knew that a greeting slice like that wouldn't scratch his foe since the guy he's facing was not an ordinary man, wherever he already full prepare to dodge. Even though this was prepared Xzelaxer didn't expect Jet to make him move real quick. He use his Kantana to block the attack however the attack are too strong,yet he have no time to prepare so he got pushed back by the wind pressure and crash into one of the chair.

Come on! You're making me look uncool. Guess I'll go all out. Xzelaxer withdrew his Kantana and draw out his spear running toward Jet wanting a clash against him.

The spear which Xzelaxer's holding was flexible which mean it could bend easily, good to make a clash and he would use advantage out of it.

Marcus:
Marcus stood over the now dead sniper guy, his cutlass was dripping in blood, he cleaned it quickly, and put it back, then he turned towards Rytsher too see how he was doing, but he didn't look for long, he knew Rytsher could take care of himself, so instead he turned his face towards the fight going on with the guy called Piston, the guy was just standing there totally unprotected, so Marcus pulled his rifle, took aim, and shoot.

Rytsher:
Until now Rytsher had only used two of his arm, but now at a moment of need he made one of his four remaining pierce throught his suit jacket, and stopped the sword just in time, he felt the blade dig 3-4 centimeter into his palm, but he didn't care, all he cared about now was too kill this guy, so he jumped over Jet make a flip with a turn, which made him land with his arms towards Jet's back, from there he grabbed for Jet's arms and hold them in a full nelson wrestling grip so he would have no defence against the spear the stranger who had offered to help had taken out, this guy was trapped.

Daniel slid between one of the goon's legs, kicking up as he slid. The goon doubled over and received one or two of the jabs that were meant for Dan. He slid and rolled until he was on his stomach and pushed himself up quickly.
Giving himself a look over, he dusted some of the powdery muck off the ruffled diner jacket. His thoughts of a quick drink and moving on had been shattered and he didn't like people to interfere with his plans: no matter how mediocre they were. His plans were the only things he had left and these goons(idiots would be a better word) had desecrated his one of his few possessions.
It was time to kick ass.
Daniel looked up at the group who were now turning towards him, weapons drawn. He looked down again, his eyes catching sight of large heap of rubble. That same evil smile twitched at his lips but he halted its presence, too many smiles in one day could be bad for his health, even if the smile was evil. He looked up and flicked a cigarette out of his pocket and into his mouth, not yet lighting it. He instead started to kick each piece of rubble towards a member of the shouting group that now charged towards him with intense power.

[[Piston and Goons vs Marcus and Daniel]]
Piston felt a gleam as the bullet came at him from Marcus's shot, he held his prosthetic arm which was a gattling gun, it deflected the bullet and Piston looked up, "A sniper?" He lifted his hand up, it changed barrels and gauges, he then fired, it was a canon ball aimed at Marcus's position. The goons were being thrown back by Daniel. Some of them were passed out, some of them surrounded Daniel, but were puffing and huffing.

[[Xzlaxer and Rhyster vs Jet]]

Jet held his blade up and tried to block the spear, keeping at the tip of the spear. He then cursed , he wasnt good with the sudden change in weapons style. He then felt the squid trying to pull his arms, he quickly kicked and made the squid grab his feet instead. He used his other sword as a pivot to hold him up as he blocked the spear. Jet grunted "How very inconvenient...., you must both die."
