Serious: Salty and Johnny's journeys; story 2: Into the Grand Line again, meeting a trollish ganster at Whiskey Peak. (CLOSED)

"Ha! They are being lax!"
"Believing our Boss can be taken out!"
"Whoever that friend of yours is."
"Making the mistake to challenge Boss means death!"
Those familiar voices are heard, but no one is seen. Maybe those two are hidden somewhere, stalking Salty and Douche. Although, having spent time with those two, it was bizarre that there was no comeback of what's told with a different speech pattern. Something was apparently off.

"Okay, basterds!!!!!!" Salty said as soon as he listened to the voices of Thorn and Zorn, obviously not speaking properly because he was using his new battling style... He had to make those two enemies, the only two enemies that ever managed to make him go berserk, lose their patience and be able to troll them, instead of being trolled. That would mean that this battling style would actually fit the man and that he would be having much more potential than the two.

"Basterds, okay!!!" he continued saying and he started looking around. Then, he moved towards the fallen Achoo by jumping small, consecutive jumps and when he reached him he said "May I kick him in the face? In the face I may kick him! Shall I do it now? Now, I shall do it!!!" and he kicked Achoo in the face once again. "The same fate you will suffer... You will suffer the same fate... If you don't show up in front of me... In front of me if you don't show up to save your mate! Something might happen because of this. And what because of this might happen? Your boss will be let loose... And you are going to lose!!!!!!!" Salty finished and he kicked Achoo at his dearest body part once again, making him wake up and scream loudly once again before falling unconscious once more.

Salty was not in the mood of torturing the man, but he actually wanted to make Thorn and Zorn show up. It was obvious that the two villains were afraid of Achoo and Salty wanted to take advantage of this to make them appear and capture them.

With all that, and considering that Achoo was apparently superior to them, it would seem logical that they'd succumb. Logical to Salty, that is. because after all this, a laughter is heard. Only one however, only one person was laughing. Apparently, only one of them was there. And he was still weird enough to continue to talk as if chatting with the other delinquent.
"Do you think it matters what you do to Don?"
"Matters not, that's the issue!"
"For I am Zorn!"
After some moments of silence, Zorn, obviously it was him, adds "Thorn, am also present." which Douche actually bought and went all hyper and shocked. He then goes, as amazingly hard to believe as it may be, serious, and grab's Salty's arm. "Damn, I forgot to mention their ability!"

"It seems you have an ability... An ability you have it seems..." Salty said with a silly voice, yet he was pretty much shocked and serious. He started scratching his head and he looked towards Douche. He frowned and he took a very different look on his face, much like a disappointed look because Douche did not inform him. Whatever, I guess. I guess whatever... An ability you have... You have an ability?" Salty was obviously questioning to learn about the abilities of his "enemies".

Before Douche has time to respond, Zorn appears right in front of them, and some meters away in distance. He has a really confident smug on. Douche is about to speak, having said "It's not a Devil fruit ability, those two are like.."
"Behold!"
Zorn then calmly moves forward, his legs slowly leaving the ground before .. he is pulled towards their direction at incredible, unavoidable speed. "MAGNETS!" Douche yells, but it's probably too late, as Zorn is already a mere foot away, and at that speed, seems impossible to dodge. But, a magnet must mean that he's attracted somewhere. Was that related with Thorn's disappearance?

(OOC: Yep, Achino family style 'xD)

"You are magnets? Oh, I see, magnets you are!!!" Salty said but before he could dodge the incoming attack of Zorn, he was hit and he was sent several meters away. The power of the attack was not as powerful as that of Achoo's attacks. Apparently, there was a big difference. Thorn and Zorn were much more dangerous together but as an individual who was attacking an enemy, Zorn was much weaker than Achoo and so, Salty could stand a few more hits.

While getting up, Salty cleaned with his right hand his dirty clothes and he started speaking "I don't care what you are... What you are I don't care... You won't dare to attack me again... To attack me again you won't dare!!!!!". Salty was speaking like Thorn and Zorn in order to start making them angry. It looked like he was getting used to this, as he even made a rhyme with that annoying speech pattern.

"TROLL KICK!!!" he yelled afterwards and he rushed towards Zorn, in an attempt to kick him at his "dearest" place, much like he did with Achoo.

Zorn doesn't seem to waste time responding to Salty's imitation of their speech pattern. If anything, he probably enjoyed it anyway. Bending his head downwards, a large arrow-like point is revealed, and with it, he propels himself like a torpedo at Salty. But wasn't it odd? Magnet, that was what Douche said. It wasn't a Devil fruit ability, so, what was making Zorn be pulled towards Salty. It was more interesting because Zorn would actually run away, gaining a little bit of distance before he would attack, he even seemingly attacked from the same angle as the previous blow. All that was food for thought, but for now, Salty would probably had to reconsider trying to actually kick something going at him like a torpedo.

"Huh? What are you doing? Are you doing what? That is an attack? An attack is that?" Salty said, still trying to actually work with his newly developed battling style and as the man was coming towards him like a torpedo, he gulped. He took a stance that he was looking half-asleep. His eyes were half-closed and he had taken a bored look on his face, as if he did not want to battle with Zorn anymore. As the torpedo was moving, the man moved swiftly out of the way, yet with a way that made him look that he moved slowly. Then, he yawned and said "Was that it?" as the man was moving away.

"Stop talking like that, you are annoying!" Douche yells at Salty, actually, right now he seems quite serious, although right now yelling with a rather goofy version of anger. But it's all unreal, Salty is being the troll and the troll is actually getting flustered. Sadly, the actual enemy, Zorn, didn't seemed to be bothered by this speech pattern at all.
"You are getting arrogant."
"You may also be an idiot."
"An idiot he surely is."
Thorn is coming straight at Zorn. He just blasted right throught a building. Seems he went a long distance away to built up even more momentum. Despite being about to collide with his subordinate, they both grin evily, before Thorn connects with Zorn, and they both yell.
"Ultra Magnet Gun!!"
And they head towards Salty and Douche with that speed. "Shit, Pepper, run, this attack is...!!" While they come, it seems that they also glow. Really weird. "..An explosive, kamikaze move!!!" he yells, for the first time he is truly scared, no traces of stupidity or a desire to troll around.

"WHAT?!" Salty got scared as soon as he listened to the explanation of Douche that the attack that his two enemies were performing was a kamikaze attack. Apparently, when he listened to that, his mood to troll his enemies had actually stopped and he started running quickly away with the hopes of dodging the incoming attack. As he was running away, he was yelling "Run for your life, Douche, run!!!". Despite the signs of bravery that the man was showing while he was attempting to troll, he was still getting scared. What a funny man, Salty was...

"How can we out-speed them?!!" Douche yells, and, quite possibly a funny scene, as Salty told Douche to run for his life, yet Douche managed to out-speed Salty and is running in front of him. Probably funny for anyone else, but obviously those 2 don't have the luxury to laugh.
"Run, they do!"
"They run!"
"They are fools if they believe they will escape us!"
"Fools they must be, to believe they can escape us!"
As they actually follow them in a straight line, and at speed that is actually increasing instead of slowing down, it seems as if they break the air or something, also a reddish force field surrounds them, they look like a mini-meteor!

"DAMN IT, DAMN IT, DAMN IT, DAMN IT!!!" Salty is yelling while they are running away from the two people who were moving with even greater speed towards Douche and himself in order to explode with their kamikaze attack. "What shall I do, what shall I do...?????????" Salty wondered while also getting scared. However, as he was running, he had an idea in his mind. As he approached the defeated Achoo who was nearby, he took a very evil look on his face and he stopped for a second. He yelled at his two enemies "You want to explode, huh? Huh? To explode you want?". It looked like Salty had taken his trollish personality once again, in order to forget his cowardness. He was prepared to do something.

"Explode, explode, explode, explode!!!!!!!!" he yelled as he grabbed Achoo and dropped him towards the direction of his two enemies, who were about to reach Douche and himself and explode to blow them in pieces! Would his strategy work or not?!

Achoo comes back into consciousness after that, and looms towards Salty and Douche. "You think I can't break those weak shackles? Once I break em I will.." Achoo's talk is cut short, as he hears something, turns his head, and he takes a completely goofy/scared/eyes popping out/ tongue rolling expression, before the pair of clowns completely strike him, going past him, sending him to the air bloodied up and this time, 100% defeated. But the clowns don't explode.
"We will choose when to explode!"
"Explode when we chose, we will!"
And the continue on, still, going on a straight line. Douche is panicking. "What do we do what do we do? This is called "The Straight Line Path Of Meteor! We are dead!"
Straight huh?

"Huh? Straight Line Path of Meteor?" Salty wondered as while he was running in order to avoid the attack, as soon as he noticed that the enemies would not explode when he dropped Achoo towards them. "Straight, huh?" he said and he turned towards his left side and changed his direction. "Come on, Douche! Douche, come on! To the left we go... Yes, we go to the left." he said and he changed his direction in order to avoid the incoming attack of his two enemies.

And then, in slow motion, we can see the pair of Thorn and Zorn passing right next to Douche and Salty, that just dived to the left. Their expressions change to a face fault, their tongues sticking out and rolling.
"They found our combo's weakness!"
"Our combo's weakness, they found!"
And then, things feel like they move back to normal speed, and the pair just keeps on going forward, and begins to punch holes in buildings in the way. Must be quite scary, and for a while now, everyone around there runs away in fear.
"We can't stop!"
"Stopping we can't!"
"What is this up ahead?"
"Up ahead, something is there?..!"
"IT'S A DEAD END!"
That last one, they both screamed it together, and moments later, Salty and Douche can hear a loud explosion. The pair had crushed right onto the mountain. No way they could possibly break through that mass too!
Douche seems mesmerized, before he falls on Salty's legs and kisses his shoes. "YOU ARE AMAZING! HOW DID YOU FOUND OUT A WEAKNESS IN THIS FORMIDABLE ATTACK?!!"

"It looks like your plans have just exploded... Your plans have just exploded it looks like." Salty said with a serious look on his face and then he shook his head for a few seconds. "Wait, now that I won why do I still use those annoying trolling tricks??? Whatever..." Salty said and then he turned his head towards Douche. He smiled to his friend. However, before he could say a thing, he listened to the man's question about how Salty managed to find out the weakness of the duo's formidable attack. With a disappointed look on his face, Salty did not even actually try to explain and he repeated the same word that he used a few seconds ago "Whatever...".

Salty had emerged victorious from the battle against Zorn and Thorn as well! What was going to happen next?

After a while, Douche is finished tying up the enemies. Thorn and Zorn, as well as Achoo, are all captured and tied up, ready to be delivered to the Marines at any time. Douche thumbs up at Salty, his teeth showing as he smiles, even glittering in a really unfitting fashion.
"Y-you brats..."
"Brats.. you.."
Thorn and Zorn mumble, but are more or less unconscious and do not pose a thread. As for Achoo, the guy is out cold.

"Hm?" Salty said with a cold expression in his face, as soon as he listened to the words of Thorn and Zorn. "Have I given you the right to call me a brat? I don't think so from what I recall..." Salty said to the two tied enemies with a cold voice, in order to scare them. He did not intend to do anything to them, like torturing them (after all Salty was not that kind of person), but he wanted them to be afraid of him, in case they wanted to attack him once again.

Then, he yelled "People!", calling the people who were witnessing the events from around. "From now on, I declare Achoo "of the Youth" and the notorious criminals named Thorn and Zorn as arrested! You can now sleep safely!".

"Yay!!!!!!" the people from around yelled in happiness and everybody looked pretty much happy because of the fact that the pirates were caught.

"Hold your horses."
"My my, these guys are a pain in the ass."
"Looks like Douche-don-no decided to fully oppose us. How depressive."
Seems that the joy of having taken out those people isn't going to last at all, same going for the people living at that part of the island. A trio of figures have appeared on the horizon, walking towards the area. Coming closer, we can see that there are two men, dressed as clowns much like Thorn and Zorn, but, unlike them, those two are normal-sized, if not actually quite tall, and also pretty muscular. They also don't seem to be as goofy as those other clowns, despite their clothing being virtually similar, only the stripes being white-green and white-orange. And there's also a black-haired woman with them, she seems to be at her middle twenties. She wears thick juggler-like makeup, and a fitting red and black outfit, with a revealing cleavage.
"Oh crap... everyone came here..." Douche says and walks backwards a few steps. "Dammit, Oregano, we better run now, those tree are the last 3 "officers" of the crew. They are at least as strong as Achoo, Thorn and Zorn! Those are ... The Circus trio!"

Introduction Box:
White-Green Striped man: Niko Kiko, bounty of 37,000,000 Beli.
White-Orange Striped man: Hiko Miko, bounty of 43,000,000 Beli.
Black-haired girl: Aria Buckvill, bounty of 60,000,000 Beli.

"We better run now, Douche." Salty said to Douche with a serious look on his face, yet with a bored tone in his voice as he was bored of watching the clown-dressed people coming after him... Seriously, after that adventure in Whiskey Peak, Salty would never, EVER watch a clown show. "Grab those bastards we defeated and run!" he yelled afterwards and he started running away. "How... How did things end up like this?! I came here for a few photos, not to take on notorious rookie pirate crews!" Salty wondered while running away. Salty could not believe the way things went on Whiskey Peak. It probably wasn't his lucky day.

"Ah, they are running away now, sister Aria."
"Yes, I can see that."
"Should we remind them that we own them a beating?"
"Go ahead, or I will."
"Roger, sister Aria."
Finishing their little dialogue, Hiko takes a deep breath, before he begins running towards Salty and Douche. He however soon stops, and instead, he throws something. He is holding what seems to be a disk, green-colored disk, a disk that has a sort of string attached to a small device attached to his wrist. Using the momentum and arm movement, he throws that sharp thing going towards the pair.
Meanwhile, Niko is putting his hands over his head, and crosses them together. And then ... he opens his mouth, and a beam is fired towards the road ahead of Salty and Douche, seems they attempt to close their escape route. As well as that Niko at the very least, must be a Fruit user!

Seeing the disk approaching him, Salty felt like he was in a pinch! Was that the end of his life?! He didn't know! However, he could learn by taking an action and doing whatever possible in order to avoid the attack. At the last second, the marine captain lowered his head and dodged the disk. Then, he raised his head upwards and he smiled. He said "A beating you owe me you say? I owe you, I say, a beating! HAAAAAAAAAA!!!". It was pretty obvious that he would use his newly acquired battling style, the troll combat, once again. With a funny look on his face, the man rushed towards the direction of Hiko. However, something else was about to happen. Before he could see it coming, the man was blasted by the beam that Niko launched from his mouth! The people in the area were shocked to see this! Salty was blasted on a wall of a building and the building slightly cracked! Salty looked damaged... Now, that obviously hurt!

"Easy hunt." Niko says, and begins making back flips, moving closer and closed to Salty, before he stops in mid-air, and fires off another beam at the man. "Sugar!" Douche yells, and prepares to attack Niko with his mallet, but with the edge of his eyes, sees a green object coming his way. Unable to dodge, he gets hit. A crushing sound is heard, and Douche's eyes pop out and he coughs up blood *W-what strength..!* he thinks to himself, before thrown away, bloodied, the disk also happens to have hidden small blades on.
"This is pitiful, those 2 were able to beat Achoo and those idiots? ... I guess Boss is really overestimating them..." Aria speaks to herself, having her arms crossed, and sighs deeply, obviously disappointed.

"D-Douche..." Salty says while coughing blood after the attack that he received. "H-How... How could you do this to Douche... To Douche how could you do this!?" Salty yelled and he attempted to get up but before he could rush at his enemies, he fell down after a few steps. He was tired when he received the attack and as a result, he could do almost nothing now. After all, he had defeated Thorn and Zorn twice and he also battled against Achoo. It was natural for him to be tired! Salty and Douche were in big trouble! How would they be saved?!

"Well, looks like they are a bit tired .. too bad for them that is. Let's maul them to death, right sister?" Niko says, and Aria shrugs, seemingly not caring about that at all. However, when Niko came right in front of Salty, with his mouth open and a beat about to be fired from nearly point-blank range, a gunshot is fired, hitting them man on his back, making him scream, and subsequently having the beam, which was more like a shock wave of sound, explode right on his mouth.
"Niko!! What was that for?! Who?" Hiko yells in surprise, shock and anger, and as he and Aria look towards the direction the shot was fired, they froze. There's an entire marine squad, packed with snipe guns. Up front, there seems to be a captain.
"Captain of the Photography department, I apologize for not arriving earlier. We came here as soon as you called on our assistance." The tall, slender, black-haired man with the shades says, greeting Salty. The snipers aim towards Hiko and Aria, who both grit their teeth in annoyance.

Introduction Box:
Captain Jack Spades, Sniper specialist

Who called a marine task-force over there? The man said that it was Salty, but obviously, it wasn't him.
