Serious: Consumption Crew Chapter 1: Extortion! (CLOSED)

[East Blue]

Scorching sun rained down heating all to the point of perspiration, people rushed out to hang up their washing and dry it off and even to bath in the sun's warm glow. As for others they preferred to stay hidden beneath their hoods on benches in town centres. Only mere moments ago these streets where filed with sounds of chaos and panic at pedestrians running from the fear which came their way.

[5 minutes ago]

A man was seen running from the docks into this crowd of people in the town centre his hair was short and mousey brown, he had freckles travelling from one cheek to the next and tanned skin. Running into the crowd the people separated and parted allowing a clear path for this man to run down. Taking his first few steps down this path which opened it was then revealed why he was running. Behind this man was a Marine wearing the usual Marine attire clenching a whip in his left hand. Seeing the man trying to escape the Marine had thrown his whip at the man and managed to wrap it around his ankle. Dragging him back towards him with his whip the Marine revealed his pistol and aimed it at the man on the floor.

The crowd of people around watched what was happening before them surprised that this man was captured so easily, and in complete horror that such a powerful man had come here to their humble little town.

As the Marine aimed the gun he smirked, until his gun was whipped from his hand by the man. The man on the ground opened his mouth wide and inhaled so much the gun was snatched from the Marine's hand. The Marine was shocked to lose his gun and felt his whip then too snatched from his other hand as the man on the ground kicked upwards sending a whipping wave up towards the Marine's hand and pulling it free from his hand and towards himself on the ground. The Marine & many people watched as the grounded man swallowed the gun and freed his ankle from the whip and sucked the whip up like a strand of spaghetti.

The Man on the ground leapt to his feet and turned fleeing the area. The Marine followed shortly after and a few minutes after that the town centre was bustling with gossip of the incident and question over why, such a man as that had come to their little town.

[Present Time]

Sitting on the bench hiding his well known face beneath his white hood was a new comer to this town, he could feel sweat forming on his brown from the heat bearing down on him but it was safer keeping his face covered. He reached down to his ankle and rubbed it. Then unfolded his jeans allowing them hang down covering his ankle.

Around the town centre a few people walked around checking out the merchandise of what was on sale at the markets and even pocketed a few fruits, till they stopped of at one stall and had a few words with the owner, there was an exchange of money between hands. The hooded man saw the exchange but said nothing. He wasn't starting another incident in the same place as before, he was sick and tired of being the victim of mistaken identity.

Another failure. The dark haired man pulled his hair back and tied it with a band. He looked around at this place with disgust and walked towards the center of town trying to find something decent to eat. Looking around he realized he was gaining some unwanted attention. This brought a smirk to his face. If one of these guys even made a wrong step to him he would slice them to pieces. He continued to eye them and avoid the people in his path as he walked over to an old man who looked like he was selling food.

"What can I get for you kiddo?" the old shaky man asked with a smile.

"Do you have any rice old man?" Takashi replied in a cold tone.

The old man laughed and brought him a steaming bowl of rice. "I see hate
in your eyes young man. That only leads down one road."

Town Centre

Watching these few men walk from stall to stall speaking a few words with the owners of the stalls the man beneath the hood began to realise these men were extorting these owners. Threatening these owners for the protection of their goods and their own lives. Noticing one of the men head towards the docks, the man in the hood figured this would be a good time to approach the man extorting stall owners and stop him.

He may have been a pirate but he didn't like seeing people getting threatened for no reason. This guy had no reason other than his own greed and that was never a good enough reason. Standing up from the bench a few people turned to look at him but didn't realise he was the same man from before. Approaching the man he felt a small breeze blow over his face and felt his ankle sting from the whip earlier.

Docks

Walking towards the docks to extort some money out of the harbour owners a well dressed man named Sanzic Meekial clenched a black bag with golden stripes leading down it.

[Introduction Box]
Sanzic Meekial
sAniTY Bandits
100 Beli


Noticing a man buying rice talking to an old man he realised this guy was new, he hadn't seen him before. Thinking to himself Sanzic thought perhaps I can get some money out of this guy, make him pay me money as part of the new arrivals tax.
Yeah that would work.

Bringing his arm fully back then swinging it forward Sanzic threw his bowling ball in such a fashion that it would travel so far then travel back towards himself. This would be a great way to get this guy's attention and send some fear into him at the same time to show this man he was to be feared and not messed with. The fact that this man had swords didn't phase Sanzic in the least he simply thought of it as more of a challenge.

After taking his first bite Takashi realized that this rice was delicious.He looked at the old man getting ready to thank him when he saw something fly past his face. He sighed, "I was kinda hoping to enjoy this rice in peace." He said to himself. He turned very slowly to see a well dressed man looking at him with a grin. He had a bowling ball in his hand. That must have been what he threw at him. Takashi cracked his neck and reached for his sword.

"I don't feel like killing someone who is so weak. Leave me alone or you won't live to see another day." He stood their wishing he didn't have to dirty his blade with this filthy weakling

Town Centre

Approaching the man who was filling his pockets the pain on his ankle surged through his body and affected the hooded man's face, he kept contorting his face a little due to the pain.
"I think you should give that woman back her money." the man whose face was covered by a hood said.
Turning around to look at who dared tell him what to do the man in the hood dipped his head a little so his face couldn't be seen as well.

[Introduction Box]
Creezo Krank
Leader of the sAniTY Bandits
1,800 Beli


"And who are you to tell me what to do." replied Creezo looking at the hooded man. As the man reached for his revolver in his pants the hooded man raised his head and dropped his jaw.
As Creezo removed his revolver and pointed his gun at the man's stomach he looked at the man's face to see a gun barrel pointing back out at his own face as well as the face of the hooded man.

[Introduction Box]
Drago D. Mite
Captain of nothing so far
0 Beli

Creezo looked at Drago carefully and began smiling, he noticed how much Drago looked like his father the famous revolutionary everyone thought he was when they saw him earlier, but there was one key thing about him which gave away the fact that he wasn't Marvin D. Drago.
His hazel eyes were the one thing which gave him away, his eye shape was different and the colour was that of his mother's eyes.

"A gun in the mouth...well that's different. Just who are you?" Creezo asked as he raised his revolver and pulled it away from Drago's stomach.
Drago looked at the man's crazy left eye and replied.
"I'm not who you think I am."
"I know your not, but these people around here don't know that."
"So what you planning on exposing my identity so you can easily rob these people?"
"Don't think I will?"

Docks

Seeing his bowling ball miss and come back to him Sanzic grabbed hold of it and stopped it dead then lifted the ball in his hands. Listening to the man telling him he didn't want to kill him. Sanzic smirked and dipped his head covering his face more with his hat then raised it again to reply in a charming voice.

"Now that I've got your attention, I have a fee to inform you of, you see on this island the sAniTY Bandits control everything and everyone who enters and leaves this island. Now you being a new comer to this island means you have to pay the new comer's tax of 500 Beli. So if you'd kindly hand it over."

Sanzic opened his left hand waiting for this man to give him the money he owed him as his fingers once again found the holes for his bowling bowl and gripped it tightly ready to throw at this man again only this time he wouldn't be aiming at his legs.

Takashi sighed as he heard the man babble about his fee. The Sanity Pirates huh. I guess if I kill this one more may come after me. Good he thought maybe they would pose a little more challenge than this wanna be pirate. Takashi held out his left hand mocking the character in front of him.

"If you give me 500 beli I will forget that you just ruined my dinner. If you decide to not do that then.." He paused "Well lets just say that you won't be needing that hat anymore."

Town Centre

After a short pause Drago looked at Creezo noticing the look on his face,he was serious. This guy really was going to expose his mistaken identity to the public if he didn't let him get on with his money collection.
Drago smiled looking at the man and replied.
"Just try it and see what happens." Chuckling to himself Creezo wasn't threatened by Drago instead he found it funny and grabbed Drago's hood.
Feeling his hood being dragged from his head and his face being revealed as a cool breeze blew over his face Drago's right fist clenched tightly and was thrown.

Making contact with Creezo's face Drago's hood was let go of as it landed softly on his back and the public turned to see Creezo stumble backwards and land on his back.
A shout was heard,
"Its Revolutionary Marvin D. Drago!"
As the acknowledgement of his mistaken identity was learnt the crowd all turned and surrounded Drago.

Creezo gripped his revolver and aimed it at Drago some members of the crowd got in his way as he tried aiming and he stood back up taking aim at Drago. Looking around at all the greedy faces of stall owners and shoppers alike Drago noticed his escape routes were blocked and he didn't want to get into a fight.

Turning his head to the right he used his devil fruit power to scare these people. Drago opened his mouth and whipped the ground near the crowd with his tongue which he had changed into a whip. His tongue was long and reached down to the ground, the crowd stepped back in shock and fear from such an unusual sight.

Creezo still couldn't get a good shot on Drago, he reached into his pocket and removed a flask and spilt some of the liquid inside it forth which spilled into the crowd.

Drago flipped his tongue up and wrapped it around the neck of the person in front of him and pulled him down to the ground. As the person hit the ground he released his tongue and dragged it back into his mouth.

Removing a lighter from his other pocket Creezo lit the trail of alcohol and watched as it went up in flames along with the people standing over the rest of the trail.

As members of the flaming crowd ran trying to put themselves out Drago leapt over the man he'd pulled down and dashed from the crowd and the flames as Creezo fired his first shot from his revolver and missed.
"Dammit!"

Running out of town Drago checked his back pockets and confirmed he still had the weapons he wanted. He could feel his ankle stinging from the whip earlier.

Docks

Sanzic heard him say he should pay him and shook his head chuckling to himself. "Your pretty screwed up in the head matey. I'm not here to negotiate with you, I'm here to collect a fee. Now hand it over."

Sanzic was growing impatient and didn't want to deal with this man another second longer than he needed to he was a busy man and still had money from the docks to collect.

Seeing the annoyed look on the mans face was priceless. But there was no real reason to drag this on any longer.

Takashi unsheathed his other sword and closed his eyes. Once he opened them they looked almost like an animals. Ready to kill his prey.

He crouched down and looked over his opponent one last time. "Goodbye mate." After saying this he charged forward with surprising speed and began his assault with both weapons

He decided that after he cut this man to pieces he was going to buy another rice bowl on him

Drago

The sun was beating down on Drago's face and making him sweat as he exited the town. He didn't know who that guy he'd punched was but he seemed pretty angry about it and wasn't going to hang around to find out who he was. Just outside the town he felt the weather taking his toll on him.

Creezo saw Drago run and gave chase, he managed to keep him within his view and holstered his revolver. He had other plans on how to catch this man who had punched him. Drago stopped running feeling tired and hot he breathed in heavily catching his breath. Behind him Creezo was catching up pulling out his flask of alcohol he poured some into his mouth then removed his lighter again and spat through it at Drago from behind.

As the flames burnt his back Drago leapt forward in fright and patted down his back. He turned around to see Creezo again and rolled his eyes.
"You again?"
"You didn't think you'd get rid of me so easily now did ya?"
"I guess not. Now what do you want?"
"To teach you a lesson not to attack your superiors."
"Superior?"

Creezo poured his alcohol over his fists and charged at Drago with his soaking fists and a lighter in his hands as he muttered.

"Your gonna burn."

Takashi

"You want to kill me?" asked Sanzic, he found it hard to believe this man was already standing up to him and believed he could beat him. "I'd like to see you try." He replied as he saw the man unsheathe his swords.

Sanzic smiled as the man came towards him finding this man's simple attacks pointless as he doubted this man would expect his attacks.

"IVORY BALLS"

Throwing his arm forward Sanzic kept hold of the bowling ball and it would've looked like the attack was done until a few seconds later when the ball began stretching and from the front of it the head of an elephant with sharp thick tusks shot out towards the man charging his way the swords. The speed both of these were going at it would be almost impossible to completely dodge this attack.

Takashi thought that it was weird that this ant was laughing that at him as he charged. The man through his arm forward and his bowling all began to change.

A giant elephants tusk was only feet away from him when he realized what was going on. He stopped on a dime and dove to his right. He rolled on the ground and checked the wound that he had just received. It was a pretty long cut but not to deep.

He backed up quickly and got into his hawk stance trying to think. This guy's bowing ball had somehow received the power of an elephant. Or was it the other way around. He shook his head and tried to focus on the fight.

He took a deep breath and sheathed his swords. He then began to quickly sheath and unsheathe his katana in a very quick motion. This created airblades that were sent directly at his opponents arm

Drago

Creezo dashed towards Drago and began swinging his fists at him, as he threw a right hook he clipped Drago's ear throwing his left Drago felt a powerful hit to his stomach and stumbled backwards coughing. Creezo wasn't giving up just yet and ran at him. His knee shot up into Drago's chin and knocked him on his back. Looking up at the blazing sun Drago was blinded till Creezo's silhouette blocked out the sun.

Drago inhaled heavily and quickly as Creezo came crashing down towards him with his fists. His eyes were furious and Drago knew he was in for some pain. As Creezo's fists approached Drago's face he exhaled the large amount of air he'd inhaled using his Air Cannon technique.

As the cannonball of compressed air was launched from his mouth Creezo was met with an opposing force which threw him from over Drago.
Creezo landed on his feet holding his stomach.
Drago sat up slowly to see Creezo holding his stomach and stood up dusting himself off.
"Weren't expecting that were you?"
"Only as much as you were expecting this."

Creezo had gripped his revolver and taken aim right now he pulled the trigger and a bullet was fired at Drago. Opening his mouth quickly he ate the bullet then launched it straight back at Creezo within seconds.

With the bullet speeding towards Creezo it would be impossible for him to avoid it. The bullet didn't reach Creezo instead it was split in two and either side fell to the ground either side of Creezo.

Takashi

Seeing this man dive to the side and check a small wound Sanzic smirked as the elephant returned to the bowling ball.
"So much for wanting to kill me boy."

As this man launched air blades in his direction, Sanzic gripped his bowling ball tighter. He was a lazy man so much movement during fighting couldn't be expected but with a weapon with a Zoan devil fruit he wouldn't need to move as his weapon could do all the moving for him.

As the airblades sped towards him Sanzic he let go of the bowling ball muttering,

"Boulder Dash"

The bowling ball on the ground began to grow in size. As the bowling ball got bigger and bigger 4 short stumpy elephant legs protruded from the ball along with trunk and tusks.

The elephant bowling ball took the slices and roared into the sky waving its trunk around. The elephant bowling ball then rolled forwards as the body was still in the shape of a ball towards Takashi. Sanzic watched and smirked as he looked at his bowling ball. This person was a talented fighter and rather strong, he doubted he would beat him so easily though. Sanzic knew how to use his weapon and knew how to use it well.

sAniTY Bandits Hideout

In the humid & filthy room which was covered in clothing, rotting food and money sat the only female member of the sAniTY Bandits.

[Introduction Box]
Sistic Krenza
Accountant/Dancer of the sAniTY Bandits
800 Beli


Sitting at the desk Sistic had stacks of Beli piled up to her right. She had many more notes to count through and with hands full of Beli she finished counting it and placed it on top of the rest of the Beli. Sistic muttered to herself.
"Right that's 11,300 Beli." Sistic looked around and sighed.

"Hmm Sanzic and Creezo should have come back by now. It doesn't ussually take them this long on their rounds. I wonder where they are. I hope Marion finds them in time."

After watching the slashes go towards his enemy, he thought for sure that he was going to kill him. Little did he know that that damn bowling ball was a lot more frustrating than he had anticipated

Not only did it take all of his attacks as if they were nothing to him. He also began to charge and Takashi was at a loss on how to avoid this monstrous thing. His side was bleeding still and the only way to dodge was up. He wated until the last possible second and jumped high into the. Narrowly avoiding getting squashed.

He landed a foot or two to the side of the rolling elephant. He did a large circle until he was right in front of a small alleyway. What he was hoping for was this idiot to attack with his weapon again. He would dodge and then hope that the beast would get caught in the alleyway. He crouched and crossed his swords in front of him. He had to time this perfectly or else he would be dead for sure this time.

Takashi

Sanzic saw the man leaping and landing beside his ball, he smirked realising this guy was having trouble attacking him. If he wanted to beat him he'd have to remove his ball.
He saw the man run away and called after him, "Not so confident now are you." Sanzic laughed as he saw the swordsman who was so confident he could beat him hide down an alleyway. He looked at his bowling ball and called out,
"Return." His bowling ball shrank and rolled back towards Sanzic who bent down and picked it up in his hand.
"So swordsman, you want to pay me this tax now, or do you still want to try your luck?"

Drago

As the bullet Drago fired back at Creezo split into two he stood looking in shock at the reason for it splitting. Standing in front of Creezo was a man clutching a sword in his hands. He stood up straight and didn't even look at Creezo or acknowledge him saying.
"Thanks."
The man looked at Drago.

[Introduction Box]
Marion Ette
Swordsman of the sAniTY Bandits
2,900 Beli


Creezo looked at Drago and smirked.
"Marion. Take care of this kid for me. I have some money to collect." Creezo turned and began to walk back towards town planning on collecting his money once again.

Marion nodded and turned to face Drago with his ordinary blade drawn.
Drago didn't like the attitude of Creezo and as he saw him leaving he inhaled heavily planning on using his Air Cannon technique again. As he fired the burst of air at Marion & Creezo. The burst was matched by Marion who sliced through the ball of condensed air.

Drago looked at Creezo one last time and watched him disappear off into the distance.

Having to look calm Takashi laughed again. "You are the one who still needs to pay me, remember?" he said with a confident look on his face. He had to rile this guy or he would never get past that damn bowling ball. His breathing was a little more heavy than he would have liked, and he really needed to get his cut checked out but other than that he was fine.

He stayed in his position, crouched with his swords in front, and waited for his opponent to roll the ball again. "Are you going to stand there or are you going to hand over the money?" he said trying to make him hurry up with his attack.

Takashi

Sanzic heard Takashi's questions and glared at him through angry eyes as he tried getting him to attack, knowing what this guy was trying Sanzic decided to give him what he wanted and tightly clenched his ball.
"You really think I'm going to pay you for ruining your meal, your going to pay this little fee of ours or your going to be throw off of this island."

"IVORY HOOK"

Sanzic dashed towards Takashi with his bowling ball in hand as he got closer he swung his bowling ball down towards the swordsman with great force hoping to badly injure him. He was still completely unharmed and had an advantage over this swordsman.

Drago

Noticing this swordsman's vision must be limited due to one of his eyes being stitched up he figured if he attacked from the right then he should be able to do some pretty serious damage considering he had a whip & pistol in his body, and also 10 throwing knives on his person.

Gripping the throwing knives in his back pocket Drago threw them up into the air and opened wide to swallow them all up. As the knives fell down towards him the next thing he knew was the pain of a shoulder making contact with his stomach.

Drago was knocked backwards by something incredibly hard he hit the ground with his lower back and rolled over landing on his stomach. Looking up he saw Marion had shoulder barged him out of the way. As he looked at him he saw that Marion had incredible speed. As Drago's throwing knives speed downwards. Marion stepped to the left letting all the knives fall down and impale themselves into the ground.

Why did this guy just shoulder barge me, he could've easily just stabbed me and been done with me. Drago thought to himself, this man looked strange as it was but now instead of taking him out as easily as he could he simply knocked him to the side.
Why?

Takashi smiled as he saw Saznic glaring at him. This was going to work out the way he wanted it to. wiped the sweat that was getting to close to his eye and then he saw the man attack again. The bowling ball was heaved into the air and aimed at his head trying to wipe his confident grin off of his face. It was a good thing that Takashi dove back hitting the dirt and rolling. It was a bad thing that some of that dirt got in his cut. It hurt like crazy but he kept a wide grin on his face.

His breathing was becoming heavier and heavier but he calmed down and said "This is your last chance, if you attack again it will cost you your life." He said this in a very serious tone. But he knew that if his opponent from the Sanity Pirates attacked, then it may be his life that was taken

Takashi

Sanzic saw the swordsman dive back and noticed his damn bowling ball hadn't worked as instructed. He had called out Ivory Hook and the bowling ball had not done anything.
"HEY YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO SPROUT YOUR TUSKS!!!" Sanzic shouted at his bowling ball.
The ball became heavier and Sanzic's arm was dragged to the ground.
"Don't you do this to me now." Sanzic said angrily pointing to the ball.
"Now come on. we've got a swordsman to crush."

Standing where he was Sanzic felt the ball become lighter and swung his arm around picking up speed & strength he finally let go of the ball calling out.

"TEN PIN"

As the ball shot towards this swordsman at the speed of a bullet Sanzic smiled feeling his right arm aching from the force he put into throwing the ball. Watching the ball shot towards this swordsman though he smirked knowing what was coming next.
"3......2........1" he muttered as he said 1 the ball exploded into the larger elephant which had been seen rolling around earlier and now it was headed for the swordsman and less then 2 feet away from him. He would need to avoid this attack with extreme speed to get away.

Drago

Lying on his stomach Drago looked up at Marion and back at the knives, using his whip tongue Drago launched it out and gripped 3 of the knives with his tongue and dragged them back to swallow them. Marion could've easily sliced his tongue and stopped him but for some reason he hadn't Drago didn't know why.
He just wanted to beat him and get back to that other man who'd disappeared into town.

Standing up Drago allowed the knives to stick out through his middle 3 knuckles on his right hand as he clenched tightly, he turned his left arm into a whip and lunged at Marion who simply turned his sword horizontal in front of himself. Wrapping his whip around the sword Drago used it to pull himself closer to Marion as he planned on hitting Marion in the face with his spiky right fist.

As he sped towards Marion getting closer and closer Marion gripped his sword tighter and spun his sword clockwise in his right hand and traded it from hand to hand whilst spinning it till the sword was horizontally facing outwards to the left. Holding it tightly in position Drago was dragged towards the sword. His fist met the blade with his knives sticking out of his knuckles on either side of the sword.

As they made contact Marion quickly flicked his sword around anti clockwise stopping when the tip hit the ground. Drago crashed into the ground hard and loosened the whip around Marion's blade. Sheathing his sword Marion knelt down beside Drago and whispered into his ear before standing back up and walking away from him.

sAniTY Bandits Hideout

Sistic was snoozing on the desk as Creezo entered after his rounds with a small sack of money. As he entered the filthy establishment he walked up to the desk covered in money and laid the sack down.

"Sistic we may have a slight problem."
Sistic remainder asleep.
Creezo tapped her on the shoulder and she slowly awoke till he raised his voice.
"SISTIC!"
"Wha---What?" Shocked Sistic sat up asking till she saw Creezo her eyes narrowed in on him.
"I told you not to do that."
"I told you not to fall asleep on the money."
"I didn't" Looking down she noticed the notes of Beli scattered all over the place and even a few squashed beneath her and one or two stuck to her face. "Oh, right yeah. Sorry." Sistic blushed.

"We may have a problem." replied Creezo as he rolled his eyes.
Sistic reached into the sack and began counting the money.
"And that problem is?"

The ball rolled at him and he squated down getting ready to jump. He felt the muscles in his leg begin to tense up and burn a little from over use. As the ball grew to it's larger size, Takashi jumped into the air again dodgeing by a hair. He landed on the roof and charged at the pirate. He stood on the roof breathing heavy and slouched down a little. He tried to remain calm. This was the time to try out the new move that he had been working on. Waiting on the roof sweating heavily he waited for the bowling ball to fly at him again. One more dodge was all he needed to end this

Takashi

As the swordsman leapt up over the ball again the ball stopped and turned around to look at the boy then shrank again and rolled back to Sanzic.
"Still running away I see." Sanzic laughed and as the ball came back he grabbed hold of it and looked up at him smirking.
"Whats your name swordsman? I need to know so when they bury you there's no unnamed grave."

Gripping his ball tightly Sanzic couldn't throw a ball as powerfully as before so this time he used, Ivory Balls again launching the head of an elephant at the swordsman whilst still holding the bowling ball himself.

"IVORY BALLS"

He hoped this time he'd knock him from the roof top or impale him as he was beginning to become a real pain in the arse for him and he didn't want to deal with this unwilling man any more.

Drago

Feeling ashamed to get beaten so easily Drago stood up brushing himself off and walked to the place where his knives were stuck in the ground grabbing hold of the remaining 7 knives he regurgitated the ones he'd eaten then placed all 10 throwing knives back in his back pockets.

Drago could hear someone shouting in the distance he didn't know who it was but he could also hear the sounds of destruction. Wondering what this sound was Drago began running towards the sounds out of curiosity. As he headed towards the sounds he noticed a man standing on a roof with two swords drawn. He was curious why he was on the roof.

Drago walked around in to the alley way to see a smartly dressed man throw a bowling ball which stretched into an elephant and his eyes widened at the shock of it. He had never seen something like this before in his life.
"Whoa." he blurted out as the head of the elephant launched out from the bowling ball still being held in Sanzic's hand.

Drago would've offered a helping hand but he didn't know who either of these men were but if either one of them bounty hunters he figured he didn't want to get spotted and mistaken for his father again. He'd had enough of that in his life already having another guy mistaking him for his father would just be a pain, especially if it was a Marine or bounty hunter.

The bowling ball looked at him and returned to it's normal size and rolled back to it's master. Then the well dressed man was wondering what his name was. "I'll tell you right before I kill you."

After saying this the long haired swordsman charged. He drew his sword a few times creating wind blades. He followed this up by jumping high in the air. He felt the air pushing against him and then gravity working top his advantage. He was hoping that the wind blades would keep the Elephant occupied. While that was happening he would try his new move out

He began a slow rotation that quickly picked up speed. As he felt himself getting closer to his opponent he drew his sword in with all of his strength and attempted to use to the momentum of the speed and the fall to get get as much power behind it as he could. If this attack hit, he would walk away victorious.

Takashi

The elephant's head was slowed down by the wind blades which cut into the skin a little, but still carried on charging at Takashi only at a slower pace but if it hit it would still be enough to impale and seriously damage vital organs. Sanzic saw this and gritted his teeth alittle angrily. He had heard this man tell him he would reveal his name once before he killed him but this man obviously knew nothing about the real world.

He wouldn't just lay down and die Sanzic would keep on fighting till the death, or so he believed he would. Seeing the man speeding down towards him with his swords drawn Sanzic was shocked and due to the speed of this attack felt unable to react quick enough. All he had time to do was drop his jaw.

Drago

Seeing this swordsman speed down towards the smartly dressed man Drago felt compelled to do something. He wasn't about to let this man get hurt so badly. To be perfectly honest From watching these two do battle for a little he was thinking of asking the guy with the elephant bowling ball to join his crew as he seemed strong enough to join. He wanted strong guys in his crew and even more wanted someone who could handle being mistaken for a revolutionary.

Without worrying about what the swordsman could do to him and without caring what he would do Drago thought of using his whip. His tongue changed once again into a whip and his jaw dropped. Launching out his tongue he managed to reach Sanzic's left ankle and grip it tightly.

Pulling on his ankle Sanzic was whipped free from the oncoming attack and let go of his bowling ball in surprise. As Drago stood there with Sanzic at his feet he loosened the whip around his ankle and helped him up. Sanzic's focus was on his bowling ball which had retracted back into itself and was now simply a bowling ball once more lying on the ground.

"Hey your pretty strong." Drago said to him.
Sanzic's attention was mainly focused on his ball and the swordsman and what they would do. Turning his head to look at Drago Sanzic noticed his face and fear covered his face as his skin became pale.
Drago offered a hand to shake and waited for Sanzic to shake.
Sanzic saw this as an oncoming attack and shouted.

"GOLDEN SHIELD!"

The elephant ball shot quickly from the ground to his hands and Sanzic caught it and pushed it forward towards Drago's hand and turned away in fear. Drago gobbled the ball up from Sanzic's hand and continued looking down at Sanzic.
"Thanks for the treat." he replied after eating it.
Sanzic leapt to his feet in fear of what this man had just done and who he mistook him for.

In Sanzic's mind & eyes this man was Marvin D. Drago a revolutionary legend who was supposedly dead. Seeing him gobble up a devil fruit Sanzic was even more terrified. He turned and fled from both these strong fighters, there was no way he could demand this man pay his fee. Even with his bowling ball there would be no way he could beat a man of such power.

Drago saw Sanzic sprint away back into town quicker than he'd ever seen anyone run. Shrugging his shoulders and tilting his head Drago wondered what he was running from he would've fired the whip at him and dragged him back but his body was having a little more trouble digesting this bowling ball than anything else he'd eaten. He wasn't sure why but he felt his stomach burn and sting a little bit before letting out a little incredibly putrid smelling burp.

In the distance sitting on a rooftop

Out of the way of this battle and collision between Sanzic & Takashi watching from afar through his one good eye stood Marion Ette the swordsman of the sAniTY Bandits. He had watched this fight play out and seen Drago's entrance into this fight. He wasn't surprised by any of this and simply watched it all unfold before him. He enjoyed seeing what happened as he remained standing emotionless looking down at them all. He gripped his sword as he watched through his one good eye. Standing atop a clock tower he stood on the edge fearless of the height and looked down at the people below Striking the bell 3 times Marion looked down at the people who all froze for a second before closing up all of their stores, stall and heading home and locking their doors.
The town shut down.

He missed. Well to be more precise his prey had been saved by a passing man. He looked over and wonder why the pirate he almost killed was shivering in terror at the person who saved him. Takashi sheathed his sword and sauntered over to the man who had just eaten a bowling ball in one bite.

"Who are you and how can you do that?" Takashi asked standing next to the man who had his hood up. In the distance their was the sound of a bell going off three times. While he was awaiting the hooded mans answer he checked his wound out. It wasn't that bad but he needed to clean it out soon

"I'm not who you might bethinking I am for starters, so don't try and capture me like countless others. If you do so try to I can say you'd be wasting your time. And what do you mean how can I do that? You mean eat that bowling ball?" Drago looked this swordsman up and down really hoping he wasn't a bounty hunter. He wasn't looking for another fight.

Drago looked at the man's robes and swords as he looked him up and down he noticed a cut and some blood. Drago wasn't a doctor and had no medical knowledge but he felt he should point it out.
"Hey mate thought I should tell you your bleeding, probably from that fight with that guy and whilst we're on the topic how'd you get into a fight with him?"

This swordsman made Drago worry slightly but he knew he could take him if he needed to. Hearing bells ringing in the distance Drago titled his head to look at the bell tower where he saw a familiar figure ringing the bell.
The words Marion whispered into his ear echoed through his head as he awaited this swordsman's answers to his questions.

Looking at the man confused he said "I have no idea who you are or who you might be. As for that coward that took off he was trying to extort money from me. He said something about the Sanity pirates, I was going to teach him a lesson until you saved him."

Takashi then looked at his cut and realized how much blood he must have lost. "Do you know anywhere I can get this looked at?" as he said this he looked at the man who was know looking at the bell. He noticed a man standing up their.
"Do you know him?"

"Finally! Someone who doesn't mistake me for my dad. I'm Drago D. Mite and you are? That guy really trying to extort money out of you? Why?"
Drago was still staring at the bell as he saw Marion disappear from site.
"Sorry I didn't realise who that guy was but he's a pirate you say? Hmm."
Drago thought about pursing this man who'd ran away but when he thought about him running away from him he figured it was better to leave it.

Seeing the swordsman check out his wound from the corner of his eye Drago knew the next question and replied immediately cutting off the end of his question.
"No I don't know anywhere. But I could come give you a hand to find somewhere if you want."
As he asked him if he knew the man ringing the bell he replied.
"No. I don't. I'm new here only arrived yesterday."
