Serious: Blast-Off! [Open to Sea Storm Members only]

ALBERTO

"That's great news Arthur!" Alberto said as he approached the ship.

Suddenly, a giant had suddenly appeared out of no where, as the giant fell onto the ground it began to shake.

"O-Oi What the!? Who the heck are you and what do you want!?" Alberto yelled at the giant, he could've nearly been
squashed.

NECK

"Dosen't look so tough to me..." Neck mumbled as he approached the giant.

This was a special chance for Neck to wrestle with a giant! He chuckled a little, Neck was getting excited.

ARTHUR

Arthur looks up at the giant and smiles broadly. However, the smile dwindles as he realizes the giant is wearing the coat of a vice admiral. He looks over at Alberto and puts a hand on his pistol. "Alberto, this guy looks pretty tough. You think you can take him?" He puts on his goggles and loads a shot shell into his pistol.

Goran looked at the pirates. Apparently, with a first glance at their faces from closely and judging from the way they were speaking, he could easily understand that they were pirates and they were the guys who were causing this mess. They looked like some rookies but he was pretty sure that these guys could become a big threat in the future... Guys who had the luck the draw the attention of a Vice Admiral were really lucky. If they managed to escape from him, they would obviously become well-known around the world in the future, for sure.

"Ya look like worms..." Goran said to the pirates. "It looks like ya are the ones who caused this mess. I am afraid I have no other option but to beat ya down and take ya to the prison!" he completed and he clenched his giant fist. "Barbarian Fist!" he said while attempting to punch them all with his big hand.

ARTHUR

Arthur, who was already prepared to do battle, vaults backward and lands on top of a shed. He fires his underbarrel, releasing a cone of lead pellets in the direction of the giant attacking them in an effort to at least stop his forward momentum.

"Captain! You alright?" he asks hurriedly, loading an explosive shell into his pistol as he drops to one knee.

Alberto swiftly dodges the punch by jumping to the left however begins to shake a little once he lands. Suddenly a plan came to his mind, a smile crossed his lips.

"Yes I am, thanks for asking!" Alberto yells back towards his crew mate.

He then charged towards Neck, "Oi heads up!" he yells.

Alberto then looked towards Arthur's direction, he expected him to distract the giant Vice Admiral while he commenced the plan.

NECK

Alberto leaped towards Neck, Neck suddenly threw Alberto towards the giant with all his might. Alberto flew directly towards the VA, Neck had outstanding strentgh he was a wrestler after all.

ARTHUR

Arthur nods at Alberto. He leaps forward off the shed and tucks himself into a ball, firing the explosive shell at the ground directly behind him as he sprouts thorns all around his body. He uses the concussive force of the explosion to launch himself in the giant's direction, heedless of the giant's reaction to the lead shot.

Goran looked at the pirates. They all were trying their best in order to stop him, although that was something that he doubted. He was pretty sure that they would be unable to stop him at all. Not only they were new rookies, but also he could see their strength not matching his own. It was a struggle for them even to cause a scratch to him, in Goran's opinion. For him, it would be very easy to stop them if he picked up his ax and performed his attacks with it. However, it would be much more enjoyable if he had a fair battle with them, using his fist and his body only so that the battle would be more even and so that the pirates would have some chance against him...

Seeing the pirates being launched towards himself, he smiled. He said "You think I am like regular giants, that is why you are trying to take me on by this time... I will show you something new." he said and he jumped very high, so high that the jumps of the two pirates looked low. Then, the marine placed his body towards the two pirates' direction so that he would fall on them and crash them. "Barbarian Bomber!" he said while performing the attack.

ARTHUR

Arthur pokes his head out while he is in his ball. Seeing that the giant is nowhere to be found, he looks up and gasps at the sheer height the giant has achieved with his jump. He removes a handful of smoke pellets from the pouch at his side and throws them at the ground, releasing a rather large smokescreen, then runs to hid behind a pile of crates.

ALBERTO

A small grin slowly crossed Alberto's lips, he looked up and saw that the Marine was falling right onto him. Alberto landed on a line which was used to dry clothes, it was pretty strectchy just like a rubber band. He landed onto the ground and quickly began to slowly walk backwards stretching the line as he walked. He aimed to use this as a slingshot he waited for the giant to land, the line was not that far from the battlefield but was far enough for him to dodge the attack.

"Bang!" a very loud sound is heard as Goran lands onto the ground. The heavy giant landed on the ground and his weight caused the land around to start trembling. All the objects around start shaking as if an earthquake happened and everybody who was stand or was holding themselves on them would lose their balance. "You imbeciles!" Goran said as the smoke that Arthur caused surrounded the whole area and made it difficult for everybody to see. "Using a smoke-screen on me? How pathetic! TAKE THIS!" Goran yelled and he opened his mouth. "BERP!" the giant berped and the smoke was blown away because of the air he released from his mouth while berping. The Vice Admiral was pretty tough and he knew how to improvise during his battles! How would the battle end?

ARTHUR

Arthur is knocked off balance as the giant lands. He begins to formulate a plan as he runs across the plaza the giant landed in. "Hey, fatty! Over here!" he calls out, taunting the giant. He begins to run toward Alberto and his makeshift slingshot, turning behind him and scattering two handfuls of pellets of all varieties (smoke, incendiary, and explosive) on the ground to make it more difficult for the giant to chase him. He continues to run toward his new captain, praying that Alberto knows what he is planning.

ALBERTO

As the giant landed Alberto began to shake a little, his balance was beginning to fail him however he still managed to sand his ground.

"3...2....1....." he muttered aiming for the giant's head.

"Blast-Off!" he yelled letting himself get taken away by the power of the rope.

Alberto was flying towards the giant once more, he drew his sword, pointed it upwards he was going to try and pierce the giant's head.

ARTHUR

Arthur ducks, avoiding Alberto as he speeds over his head. He keeps running toward the rope, grabbing it on his way by and pulling it back. He looks behind him at his captain and laughs at the ridiculousness of the maneuver before pulling the box behind a fencepost and beginning to prepare for his attack.

Goran looked towards Alberto while he was being repelled towards him, thanks to the rope. The pirate had thought off a great plan. He was about to use his speed to pierce through the Vice Admiral's head. That was something really, really smart and Goran could acknowledge that. He smiled and he moved his head downwards. Then, while the pirate was moving towards him, he opened his mouth and the sword was about to stab him. But, something strange happened... While everybody would expect to see the sword piercing the head of the Vice Admiral, something else happened. The sword hit one of the teeth of the Vice Admiral and was stuck on them. The strength of the attack was really great and the sword pierced deep inside the giant tooth of the marine, sticking very well to it.

"Ouch!" Goran said while the sword was stuck to his tooth. Then, his eyes moved towards the pirate who was grabbing the sword and was standing thanks to it. "I acknowledge you..." he said. While he was speaking, his mouth moved up and down, moving the sword and Alberto along with it, as the man was grabbed on the sword. Goran did not really look like he was about to attack. He looked much more willing to discuss instead.

ALBERTO

Alberto was surprised to find his sword stuck onto the tooth of the giant.

"O-Oi, Stop moving!" Alberto yelled as the VA began to talk.

He then, with all his might pulled the sword out of the tooth, little did he know that if he done that it will pierce the lip of the giant when he fell. Alberto sword fell towards the VA's lip.

ARTHUR

Arthur finishes arranging himself in the makeshift slingshot. He has curled up into a ball, a few spikes holding him up like legs off the ground. He looks over to Alberto, who is speaking with the vice admiral. He decides he is going to wait, hoping beyond hope that his captain will be able to talk his way out of assaulting a Marine vice admiral. Arthur zooms in with one of his goggles, amazed at the sheer size of the officer and unsure of whether or not he and Alberto will actually be able to take him down.

Although Goran did not expect this to happen, the pirate actually managed to pull the sword out of his tooth. However, that was not the only thing that happened. Except from pulling the sword, the pirate also managed to make it fall accidentally on his lips and pierce them. The katana slashed the giant lips of the vice admiral and caused them a big scratch. Droplets of blood came out of them and Goran was surprised to see the blood that was coming out from his lips.

"Now that was something I liked." he said to Alberto while he was falling and then he clenched his fist. "Barbarian Punch!" he completed and he attempted to punch the pirate while he was falling. If the attack hit, it would send him flying several meters away. After all, Goran was a giant and so he possessed superhuman strength.

ALBERTO

A gigantic fist cam towards Alberto, he was very surprised, he held out his katana in front of him. The hand got pierced by the katana however Alberto was sent flying, he crashed into a building. Drops of blood came down from his forehead, he managed to lick one of them as they fell.

"Want to play dirty eh,?" Alberto said to himself as he slowly got up and dusted himself off.

ARTHUR

Arthur winces at the sight of his captain being hit by the giant's gargantuan fist. "Oooooh, that's gotta hurt!" he says to himself. He does one final check on the rope and then decides to take action. He sprouts thorns all over his back, legs, and arms, turning himself into a ball of thorns. One of them breaks through the fencepost, releasing the tension on the rope and sending Arthur flying at the giant. "GERONIMOOOOOOO!" he shouts as he hurtles through the air toward the giant, intending to hit him in the gut.

NECK

"O-Oi Alberto-San!" Neck yelled as he saw Alberto get punched right into a building.

Neck began to sweat a little, the strength of a giant how can he compete with it. He slowly took deep breaths, he had swore to beat down his enemy ever since he became a wrestler. He charged towards the giant quickly kicking a barrel towards him, he then jumped as high as he could and aimed to land directly on the giant's toe.

ALBERTO

Alberto began to pant heavily, his wounds were stinging him and this battle was really eating at his energy. He quickly turned around and went down the stairs of the house he then quickly looked at the giant, he saw Arthur charging towards him. Alberto looked towards his katana which was soaked in blood, he slowly began to get dizzy however snapped out of it.

"Oi,Oi this giant is really asking for it..." he said as he slowly began to check his surroundings.

Alberto saw that a lighter was to be found on the ground, he sighed and picked it up. It was about to get hot in here.

[In a few days I will take an absence so if you are planning to retreat, do it soon so that the thread can end before I go. Also, if you like it, I would be more than willing to have Goran as a reoccurring antagonist in the threads of the crew in the future.]

The Vice Admiral was getting bored of this. When the pirate with the spike fruit jumped towards him, he jumped high once again and the pirate passed below him, missing the attack. Then, while he fell on the ground, the other pirate, Neck, approached him and performed a powerful punch at his toe, powerful enough to make the giant feel some pain. The pirates were all trying their best but he could see that they were not totally able to match his power. After all, Goran was a giant... He was a giant moving fortress, a man with great physical strength who was training himself for more than a hundred years. The more than a hundred years of experience in battles that he had did not allow him to lose to the pirates and so he was about to do something to finish the battle quickly. With a serious look on his face, he said to the pirates "I am bored of this... Sorry for not keeping my promise but I believe that it is about time for me to end this... I have to inspect a base in a nearby island and get back to my own base to deal with its organizing stuff.".

Just when he finished his words, the man grabbed his ax from his back. The ax was very big, matching the size of the giant. While keeping the serious look, the marine slashed the air and launched a giant air slash to the sky with ease, showing his great strength. "Do you still want to continue?" he questioned the pirates while pointing towards them with his ax.

[I see, I guess we will be reatriting]

ALBERTO

"Darn it..." Alberto mutterd as he picked up the lighter, this giant was far bigger in size and they couldn't possibly take him down.

Alberto turned the lighter on and threw it towards the giant with all his might, if he was leaving he should leave in style.

"Oi Alex!,Neck!, we are going to sea!" Alberto yelled as he began to run towards the port.

"A man who runs from a fight will leave to fight another day"

[THREAD END]

ARTHUR

Arthur sticks into the side of the building after zooming past the giant. He retracts his spikes, causing him to drop twenty feet to the ground. He lands on his feet and, hearing his captain's order, begins to run after him while throwing a few smoke pellets on the ground. "Roger that, Captain!" he shouts, doing his best to catch up.

(Jory. Sorry. But the thread has ended. Join the next one. )
