Serious: The Greatest goal, one last obstacle before the new world In Alabasta ((ENd and Closed))

"I can say the same thing for you religious nut," she said in a calm tone while moving away when Maria used geppo to put some distance between them. She didn't really care since that would give her some time to think of a plan to get that scythe away from her and incapacitate the woman enough to knock her out or if it comes to drastic measures...

She cleared her thoughts and calculated her options, the other woman lucky enough to not get cut by her blade as of yet. Well, she just needed to get that cut then and with that in mind she charged once more, reinforcing her gauntlet so that it would last enough while blocking the scythe and slashing diagonally across the other's abdomen. It it cut through her skin the effects would immediately take place and it would start forming ice over the slash and slowly start spreading.

[[Lucas vs Ferdinand]]

Lucas took time to soak it in before a shockwave hit. Lucas flew backwards sliding across, coughing out blood "Shit!!!! Wax DRAGON!!!!" The two side dragons striked at Ferdinand hoping to slam him down and keep him at bay. A Close range fight was bad for Lucas right now.

[[Morbius near Todd]]

Morbius immediately recognised his brothers voice and glared, on one hand he had to fight pirates, on the other he had a deep seated hatred of his damn brother who continously mocks everything the cp9 stands for. Morbius loosened his tie and had to make a decision. He finally spit and drank from his ebony flask. He took a quick swig and then used soru. He was in front of Todd blocking his axe with his one hand "Hello.... brother"

[[Anubis in the citadel]]

Anubis coughed as he stood, he was very shaky at this point and controlling this thing was getting more and more difficult. He needed to reach Alurbana though and that would take a while. Anubis immediately commanded "Desiree, you must back up the swordsman who is fighting the Vice Admiral. Of that i have no doubt, bring the fight to him, otherwise stay back here. Johan, i will need you to rally your forces and get them prepared to charge Alurbana... await my call, it will be from the right flank of the palace" Anubis then turned the citadel again, changing his position along with Johan and Desiree. He then left a path for a sand elevator for Johan.

Whether it was because of his thoughts, or the number of pirates he already eliminated making his eyes hazy, or just because he simply couldn't expect to have that "meeting" with him, Todd's eyes open wide as he couldn't believe that his brother had just appeared in frond of him. For a second, his eyes remain like this, before he, quickly, returns to his calm demeanor.
Todd: You .. why are you here, brother ?

[[Morbius vs Todd]]

Morbius faced foward holding the axe. He could still feel his brothers energy coming through as if it was about to engulf him, like he was staring into the great abyss, but he let no fear on his face, especially since Todd himself was shocked "What didnt expect to see me? After all this time and all, how did working as a personal bodyguard turn out?"

Todd looks at his brother for a few moments without talking, then rapidly pulls his axe backwards and places it on the ground, in a not-so-gentle way. Basically stucking it on the ground. He does seem different from the Morbius he remembered. He sure seemed more confident than then. More strong-looking as well. Not that Todd seemed to care alot about that of course.
Todd: That is no longer my role nor my interest, I had to join the Marines to get the means to accomplish my goals .. and you ? Still in that .. CP9 ?
He then turns to some pirates that were still closeby, and looking at the two men with surprize. His scare alone, without the need to tell them "Get lost" seemed to be enough for the to back away several feet.

[[Nanohana]]

Morbius grinned as he pulled his sunglasses off "Yeah, im operations leader for this particular event .. im still a part of CP9, so you became a marine, hahahahahaha, how the mighty have fallen. Suddenly your a warrior for justice? Thats a bunch of bullshit...... what happened, did you finally lose?" Morbius was standing steady, every fibre of his body wanted to strike, but he knew he shouldnt make a false move, especially not with his brother who felt as powerful as ever.

Todd has his arms crossed as he hears his younger brother's talking, and once he finishes, he smirks for a moment, and then his facial expression goes dead serious.
Todd: Do not be mistaken by this rank. It fails to represent what I really am. And you know very well .. I dont lose.
Saying that last phrase, he cracked his hands.
Todd: So, leader or not, how come you came to talk to me after so long ?

[[Morbius]]

Morbius raise his eyebrow as he felt his tension rising he could no longer take it, he was fueled by anger and now was the time he was going to unleash it "Talk?!!!" He aimed a rankyaku which sliced past Todd, barely touching todd but cutting down a building behind him. "Arent you mistaken brother? I didnt come here to talk.... i came here to defeat you.... take up your stance and fight!!!"

Todd didn't moved to dodge the move, despite it passing dangerously close to him. It did slightly grazed his cheek thought. He smiles, and reaches for his axe, however he puts it resting on his shoulder.
Todd: That's the only wound you will get to cause me, little brother, but .. try to prove me wrong !
He grins even more, a very scary grin indeed, he looks like a demon. Then he just vanishes, having used soru and geppou at the same time, getting above Morbius, around 20 feet actually.

Morbius cursed as he had used soru to try and reach in time, but his brother had already used geppou to head up. Morbius then twirled "Rankyaku!!!!" He fired two slicing winds as he kicked aimed both at Todds position.

(Ashley:Alurbana Palace Roof top's)
Ashley tensed up after hearing report's of A Giant Sand Castle floating closer and closer to Alurbana. She despretly searched in the distance seeking any sign of Anubises horiffic Construction.

"Sharpy I'm getting a bad feeling about this. I pit of my stomach aches and I feel flush... Dont you worry now honey ill pull it together before they show up. Sharpfang noticed Ashleys body twitch in anticpation. He too couldnt stand all this waiting as he hissed his agreement.

(Mysterious Marine Alurbana)
A Marine Wearing the normal outfit of a low ranking marine grunt walked towards the Alubana street's His Spikey dark brown Hair matted under his Marine hat. The Bill pulled down to shade his Crimson red eyes. The only other distigushing feature about this Marine was the two white sheathes strapped to each of his sides. along with a backpack on his back

"It's nearly time... He will accept my deal.. he'd be a fool not too."
The citzen's the man walked past didnt take notice to the lowly marine grunt it actually comfertaded them knowing a marine was on his partrol.

Todd: Rankuary; Twin Mist !
Making a spin verdically around himself, Todd sents two powerful Rankyaru attacks to nerate his brother's attack, then dashes downwords at full speed, landing a small distance behind Morbius, with that same grin running down his face.
Todd: Shigan; Revo !
Todd hits the air with his finger, sending a thrusting shockwave towards Morbius, aiming for his neck. He still holds the axe on his other hand, still with it's handle resting on his shoulder.

Having recieve his order from Anubis Zalton set forth to Nanohana uninterrupted by the battles that were taking forth. He had suggested that Hibiki tag along because thats what Anubis asked. Zalton didnt care whether or not he came and did not bother looking back to see if he complied. The journey didn't take long and the sun and sand didnt bother him. After all most islands Anubis had settled on were that of sun and sand. His doctors coat offered plenty of skin protection.

Nanohana

Typically in order to take over a new turf he and anyone else would display a show of power. But this was a slightly more delicate situation. This was Anubis' home island it would do no good to make the people fear him. And he had to keep property damage to a minimum seeing as though the Anubis pirates weren't going to stay after island was claimed. They would soon not even be in the same ocean.

Soon after arrival he began hear the distinct sound of battle. "Even here there is fighting? Although it makes since to have soldiers here protecting the lives of the people. Treading carefully he made his way to the scene of the fight. He didn't recognize either party by name but one was clearly with the marines. The other a suited man. Taking a momment to admire the quality of the suit. He noted that the man was not a member of the Anubis Pirates nor was he an ally, at least not one that he new. Given that he used the Goverments battle style Zalton diduced he was likely one of them.

Zalton figured it was best till they exhausted each other out then take on the one who was left standing. He watched carefully from the shadow cast by a building. If they weren't to involved with there own fight they might see him.

Just as Johan had been about to get over the... whole situation (for suddenly accepting a new member into his family on grounds of her coming out of his shadow on top of everything did make this the weirdest day in a long while) and ready, really ready to accept new orders, aforementioned not-so-much member of his practically nonexistant family decided to show up again. Johan got the feeling interrupting his conversations with Anubis was a big hobby of hers.... That suddenly made it very much harder to decide who he was supposed to be jealous of again. It was all rather confusing. Still, it did calm him somewhat that his shadow didn't seem to be a gateway to a dimension in which wearing ancient cultist garments was somehow acceptable, it much rather appeared to be an ability of the girl herself. Though that was somewhat disappointing, too.... the possibility that he could summon cultist warriors from his shadow had opened whole new possiblities to him... Plus, he guessed that meant she really hadn't been shadow-adopted by him.... huh.... He had to admit, looking back to it, having another daughter would have been nice... even though she was a bit old for that...
Johan was interrupted in his overly complex thoughts by Desiree, who simply looked at him for a moment and blinked. Sure, people blinked sometimes... but to Johan, that blink... it was like a greeting. It was a friendly acknowledgement of his existance. How nice! How polite!
He really was happy about that. Who cared if that girl hadn't been spawned by his shadow! She would decidedly be a part time member of his family from now on, even if she didn't know! Not that there was that much family left to be part of....

As he had accepted the fact that his family had gotten a new addition, whether he really wanted it or not, Johan supposed he'd better start fulfilling his parental duties. Starting by listening to her report in a way that could also be seen as him simply being a member of the same crew as her, a business partner. An overly interested business partner, maybe. But whatever. He inhaled sharply when she was done talking. How dare that marine, whoever he was!
Not only did he outmatch her, which Johan guessed was understandable, seeing how said marine probably wanted to live, but he also, and that was the whole point, had made her so unbearably sad! Johans thoughts about her obvious infatuation with Anubis aside, having to admit a failure to someone who probably trusted her, much more someone she loved in such a way, was... God, didn't those marines even take her feelings into consideration?!

Inside, Johan was furious. Not as furious, maybe, as he was when seeing the governments crimes. But furious enough to make him decide that that marine, whoever he was, deserved a lesson!
He stepped forward, some, though not all, of his anger showing on his face.
"Anubis, I can...."
But then Anubis spoke, and Johan fell silent, listening to his new orders. He wanted Desiree to.... go back and join the fight? But she wanted to stay with him... well, not like Johan wanted her to, frankly, he doubted Anubis was good for her, and him disrespecting her wishes like that just grounded his believe further. Still, he should probably stand up to....
Then, he heard the orders directed to him, and Johans anger froze cold. His men? They were supposed to.. .attack Alubarna?!
Johan thought of his crew, thought of the state they were in... He had left them not far from the battle, but far enough...
His voice, formerly so heated, was now calm, he spoke very clearly, as he mostly tried to when he was insecure.
"Anubis, my men are mostly injured or exhausted. We also lost most of our horses on our last.... excursion... I am afraid we will not be able to do much damage..."
He would not sacrifice his men, his loyal, unyielding men for this. They had signed up for a revolution, him dragging them along to do Anubis bidding was bad enough, and he knew some of them didn't approve. He didn't want them to die for this man, for somethign they didn't even believe in. And if they were to actually survive this attack, they would need a lot of luck, and face it, when did anyone associated with Johan ever have any luck?
"I am yours to command, but I must insist you rethink this strategy."
Swamp green eyes were fixed on Anubis, the look in them determined, but also pleading. He couldn't do that, he really couldn't.
"...please..."


On the ship.

Emil silently listened to what the marine had to say, he wasn't disrespectful and he was ready to listen to reason, which was something the current world government tragically lacked. However, he was also not afraid to use force if necessary, and it did quickly in his mind. His hand, which were still aiming the rifle at the marine weren't shaking as he pulled the trigger. A warning shot, to show that he was serious. Only after that did he calmly answer Salty.
"I am not blind or stupid enoug to trivialize the situation we are in, marine. I know what's on the line. However, as you may well notice, none of us revolutionaries have moved out, we were very well peaceful on our ship. Even though, of course, I could not hope to trick you into believing our coming here was a mere coincidence, as I am sure you have already seen which flag we sail under. However, I can assure you, Anubis does not have any revolutionary plans I would know of.... I understand you cannot believe me, just as I trust you understand that I cannot take the ristk of you delaying that picture or information of us being here to your superiors."
He was picking his words carefully. Johan wouldn't mind boasting his plans to the marine, he knew, still he wasn't sure how much he should reveal.
In fact, he supposed he might already have revealed too much. Thus, with the last words, he aimed anew, for the camera this time. Take the camera and the man holding it wouldn't really matter anymore. All he needed was to have that evidence destroyed. With that, he pulled the trigger again.

FERDINARD (SAND CITADEL)

As Lucas used the Wax Dragon attack, Ferdinard looked at him with awe, completely surprised because of the fact that the 20th Division Commander, the commander with one of the lowest bounties out of the Commanders, was able to pull off an attack like that. This led him into confirming the thought he made before. Bounties really meant nothing, after all...

At the start, Ferdinard was about to move out of the way. However, as he was about to run away by using his Shockwave Rush, he realized that no matter where he would run to, the attack would still reach him. The walls around the place were quite small and so it would be difficult to dodge the attack, even if he run. The best thing he would have to do was to just use a technique which would defend him.

"FAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Ferdinard laughed loudly, as the Wax Dragon was coming towards him. Then, he moved his hands forward, with his palms pointing towards the direction of the Dragon. "Shockwave Shield!" he said and he used his signature Shockwave technique to shield himself from the attack, reducing the damage. However, even if he did so, the attack still caused him some damage, to the point that his sunglasses were broken.

"You are good!" Ferdinard said with a smile on his face. "FAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" and he used his signature Shockwave towards Lucas in order to cause him some damage.

SALTY (ON JOHAN'S SHIP)

"What am I doing now? What am I saying now? Oh man... I should really be careful to not have been caught! Damn!" Salty thought as he listened to the words of the Revolutionary. Apparently, even if those words made it sound as if Emil and the rest of the Revolutionaries wanted a truce, Salty could not leave like that. Even if Emil was telling him that they would do nothing, there was no way he could believe him. The revolutionaries could be lying... After all, they were not the best people in the world. They were going against the World Government which was responsible for protecting the innocent humans. They were bad people... They were just like pirates with the difference that they were more organized and they had the objective of taking down the World Government rather than searching for One Piece. It was very difficult for Salty to trust Emil...

However, after all that thinking, Salty finally gasped and he realized what was going on. Despite the fact that all those words sounded quite good, the way Emil spoke them clearly showed his bad intentions. The man had shot at the air and was telling that he would not take the risk of leaving Salty hand over the picture to his higher ups, probably to cause fear to Salty in order to make him hand over the picture and leave quietly. That guy... In Salty's eyes he was planning to trick him by frightening him... And Salty would never let that happen. He took a deep breath and with a brave look on his face, he said.

"Hm... Revolutionary... Your words sound quite good and make me hold back from attacking you for the moment... However, I am afraid that I cannot believe anything you say. After all, you probably are a master liar, just like any Revolutionary... All of you are great at deceiving people and making them take the decisions you want. Otherwise, you would not take territories under your control and make the habitats of the places believe that you are the good ones while we are the bad ones... You know how to use people as pawns to your evil plans of taking over the World... And I cannot really let you do that to me, as well. I am afraid that I will just have to take you on and do anything necessary in order to hand this picture to my higher ups." Salty said and he prepared himself to shoot towards Emil, if necessary.

[[Morbius vs Todd at Nanohana]]
Morbius flipped onto his palm and kicked a rankyaku into the shockwave parting it in half. He then twirled and sent two more rankyakus after flipping back straight. Morbius slid back as he grinned "You have gotten soft brother!!!"

[[Anubis and Johan and Desiree on the citadel above Alurbana desert]]

Anubis heard this and cursed his luck. Without the horses they couldnt flank and it would be a waste of possible soldiers on the battle field "Fine, we will have to come up with something.... we are near Alurbana already and we have a Vice admiral who is hovering like death... urgghh" Anubis coughed even more violently. This was bad, he couldnt hold up the citadel anymore. Anubis lowered his hand "Then Mr Johan... and Desiree... it seems a frontal attack on the palace is the only way...." The giant citadel was slowly descending onto the desert in front of Alurbana.

[[Lucas vs Ferdinand in the citadel]]
Lucas felt the citadel rumbling, it was about to land. The Dragon not working was bad, it was Lucas's greatest attack. Lucas created a few more dragons, with the added wax, it was equal to a giants punch. Lucas panted "Yeah, you are pretty decent yourself...."

Desiree stiffened as Anubis told her to both go after the marine AND stay behind. Was is cognitive fortitude being compromised by his illness in combination with his stubbornly self-destructive adherence to moving his flying sand castle? She tilted her head slightly, raising a brow in puzzlement and marginal disapproval of nebulous orders. Her eyes flickered to Johan for a moment as if expecting an answer, but really wondering if his words were only nonsensical to her.

She had no doubt she could put up a good fight with the marine, under the currently unavailable condition that he would bring his ass to the ground. She refused to attempt to do battle with a Marine ... kite. How long could his Geppo keep him up there anyway? All that kicking about must have given him an ass of steel. At that moment she crossed her intention of shooting him in the ass with a poison dart off of her offensive strategy list; THAT clearly wasn't going to work; she was in no mood to dodge her own darts as they bounced off.

At this point she was more annoyed than actually angry. After all, who WOULDN'T be annoyed with an obnoxious talking kite flying around, taunting, antagonizing and never bloody LANDING. That bastard! Dirge: The Marine kite from hell - she would have a special treat waiting for him when he finally came down. A luminescent flicker back-lit her reptilian green irises as the bloody acts of vindication ran through her mind. A sadistic smile tugged at the corner of her lips.

"A frontal attack, mi'lord? I look forward to it."

She turns away from Anubis to face Johan.
"I suppose now that I know you are not a threat to my prince, I should no longer use your shadows as a tool and a platform off attack without your consent. "
She bows her head slightly, cold green eyes carefully regarding him.
"Shadows are a sacred reflection of your volition. I apologize for trespassing your reflective essence; I feared my prince may have been in danger. I now ask of you that I may be allowed to use your shadow if it serves to be expedient in defeating our mutual foe."

No matter what his answer, she would use his shadow accordingly to guard Anubis and he likely knew that, she was merely being somewhat polite about it. It was probably best for her to have a pleasant and diplomatic exchange with his allies if they were to battle together effectively. Something about the way he looked at her struck her as odd - very odd indeed. She couldn't tell if his looks were simply fascinated, paternal, or just - creepy. Maybe not creepy ... no, she was far to acquainted with what that looked like every time she encountered a reflective surface.

Speaking of which, she took a moment to internally note the negative implications of Anubis landing his ... battle cruiser ... sand castle. He would soon be free to move about- to walk, to jump, to run away - from her! This was her last chance ... she shivered like a petty little school girl as she turned back to Anubis. Unadulterated mischief danced playfully in her gleaming verdant eyes. Her movements were always smooth and very swift, with something of a swaying rhythm like a serpent on the hunt.

"I would apologize for this ... but that would imply ... regret."

This would be the cherry on top of her string of serial molestation during his self-induced captivity and a fulfillment to all of the dreams that she should probably never mention aloud. Elegant hands pressed against Anubis's chest as she leaned forward, eyes regarding him like prey. She was startled by the sensation of her lips barely touching his ever so slightly, hardly more than a breath or a whisper and as brief half of a wink - when she suddenly backs away lowering her head. Despite her predatory nature, she cared a bit to much to do this to him. This was a bit to far, even for her, though, somehow, stealing his undergarments was not really below her. Now, she would live to regret missing such an opportunity, which would likely never come again, but she put him through too much already and has failed too much to be worthy of such a stolen reward.

"I cannot do that to you my prince. Though, I will forever regret restraining myself."

She re-affixes her face mask and she turns away, and holds her serpent headed spear outward, depressing the safety lock to deactivate it as she stands at guard, still tracking the movement of the Marine kite through his shadow. Her eyes narrow as she focuses on the battle at hand.

"If you should have need of your sword, the scabbard is affixed to my back ... under my tunic. Retrieve it when you are ready. " >_>

(Mysterious Marine Alurbana desert)
Upon leaving town the Strange marine walked through the Desert towards The descending Sand Citadel.

With a whistle he spoke. "Impressive... Hmm Im close enough now. Sense I'm away from the city my disguise is no longer needed."Removing his Disguise the marine reveled himself to who he truly was.

Chūsei Kuroshinku Leader of The Shadow Assassin's. Tossing the marine outfit and the back pack aside Chusei was now wearing Sand colored bandit outfit. Which he had tailored for such an occasion.

As Chusei waited patently for the Citadel to land he placed his hand's near his katana's just in case some unforeseen enemy decided to attack.

(Ashley on Alurbana Palace rooftop)
Seeing the Sandy Citadel start to land in the desert infront of the City. Ashley grew more focused and alert. Noticing 3 Heavy steel arrow's coated in Nitroglycerin Ashley was ready to fire at the first Pirate she would see that came within range. "No one will enter this Palace not while im still breathing! Sharpfang get ready!"

Todd strikes those rankyaru attacks with his axe, breaking them into mist, before he put his left hand in his pocket and leap towards Morbius.
Todd: Did I ? .. Well let's focus about your progress now.
Todd begins swinging his axe around, each hit backed up by huge brute strength and rapid movement, it seems as if he doesnt even remotely care if one of those attempts actually cleave his own brother into two piece.
Todd: Let's see if you can force me to use both my hands here ! Hmph !
His words hide arrogance, but Todd appears to be actually interested in the fight, despite behaving as if he's fighting a weakling or something. Maybe deep inside, he would like to see him force him to use both hands, force him to fight hard, finally have a good fight to put it that way.

[[Anubis landing the citadel near Alurbana]]

The shangri la was landing right in front of Alurbana. The structure descended almost phasing into the sand of the desert.The sand structure was rumbling and the maze was flowing away. Anubis stood at the other end of the wreckage which was disappearing. Anubis grinned as he was there "FINALLLY!!! I can move again........." The castle staff watched in amazement. the soldiers in Alurbanas camps around the capital were stunned too. Mashidi growled from the castle "ANUBIS IS HERE!!!!!"


[[Morbius vs Todd]]
Morbius dashed and slid firing off two more rankyakus which were curling from the side. He then kicked the wall to jump up onto the roof "Both your hands? Ill have you begging on your feet like a dog brother!!!!" Morbius kicked another rankyaku, this time aiming for Todds neck.Todds monstrous fighting presence could be felt, but he wasnt a god, there was ways to beat a monster.

Todd slices throught the two rankyaru coming from the side with a powerful swing of his axe, then, turning his head to see his brother's incoming attack, he moves his body to the side about a foot, having the rankyaru pass right next to him. His smile has faded and he has taken a more serious expression.
Todd: Dog ? .. Allow me to remind you of .. who's the dog in this family .. *he moves his hand all the way back, to the point where the axe was behind his head* .. Imperial Slash .. !!!
With incredible brute strength and speed, an enormous current of energy, similar to the ones he was using in his fight against both Satoshi and Ryan almost a year ago, only that this time it was formed with Todd swinging his axe with only one arm, erupts and destroys everything on it's path, going towards Morbius direction.

Upon noticing Anubis was now free to move about the castle and free of her forcible molestations, she is stricken with a profound sense of loss. The opportunity had lapsed and now he would never be trapped in her creepy little grasp again. She takes a moment to fall to her knees, pounding the ground with her fists in agony as a lonely tear rolls down her cheek. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

She then composes herself, repositions her helmet and mask, and holds her spear in an anticipatory battle stance as though nothing at all just occurred. She turn slightly to Anubis, giving a slight nod of recognition.
"Glad to see you're free, milord."

She turns away, biting her lip slightly.
"If you would like to retrieve your sword, it's still here in the back of my tunic."
With her back to him, she grins, pleased with herself but still quite upset that he now possesses the ability to run away from her.

Maria
Maria used her kami-e technique to numb her body so it drop below the sword. Her spine bent completely back with body forming an arch with her neck touching the icy floor. Maria grinned "Your heathen ways have blinded you. I have learned all your tricks, but you have yet to grasp mine." She swung her scythe toward the right of delia aiming toward her leg with the scythe. One hit would neutralize her devil fruit powers making her an easy opponent. Not only that Delia would have problems balancing herself with one leg.

(Chusei Alurbana Desert Near Anubis)
As Anubis appeared after ending his technic Chusei Activated his Jet boot's."Jet Shadow Soru!" The Skypiean in the desert bandit outfit blurred across the sand stopping 10 feet away from Anubis.

Watching Anubis with his Crimson eyes Chusei anounced.
"Greeting Yonkou Anubis I have come with a proposal that will benefit us both. I do no wish to see yonkou blood spilt upon these sands. The Balance of our seas need's the order you and your fraction upholds. I will offer you my protection or by blade depending one which is your choice. For every head im assigned to sever i charge a standard fee of 10,000 belli however sense this is a special case ill also offer a low rate of 5,000 belli for any protection details."

After Finishing his windy offer Chusei breathed out a sigh. He had rehearsed that alittle bit.

With Derge Sr. outside of the city, he soon found something out. The damn thing was moving, and moving directly towards Alurbana; if Derge Sr.'s calculations were right. Moving around the the maze, Derge Sr. looked through the windows for Anubis. However this tactic didn't produce much of a result. As the time dragged on, the marines wasn't able to stay in the air for the entire trip. He landed on the far side of the city and began to move along at sour speeds. With this he could at least avoid the attacks of the shadow assassin. She was deadly, but so much Derge Sr. couldn't come up with a counter to her powers.

Once the city arrived at the destined location, Derge Sr, leaped off and onto the ground below. He watched as the city of sand crumbled and became one with the desert. It was as if the majestic structure had never existed; it was almost sad to see the thing go away. However the vice admiral wasn't about to shed a tear when he had a mission to accomplish. With the large structure gone, he was easily able to spot the boisterous pirate. Speeding towards the man, Derge Sr. stopped shot. About 30 feet away from Anubis and those that guarded him. There was at least four people near Anubis that could possibly defend him from Derge Sr., and even give the sickly Anubis the edge.

Derge Senior could recognize two of them by name. Chusei the skypian assassin that trained under the same master as the former Yonkou candidate Unholy. There was also a revolutionary, a mere child; a mere child that was a known ally of Anubis. However the two from earlier, the woman and the glass wielding swordsman were fairly new and unknown. The Vice Admiral wasn't fond of his lack of knowledge when it came to them. At least he had a gauge of their power levels from their earlier skirmish. This was a battle Derge Sr. was more than certain he couldn't win, or even survive. However none of that mattered; the marine had one goal and one goal only.
