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

"Hm? Did I?" Salty wondered while looking at the man. His vision was slightly blurry because of the damage he received and he was feeling a little bit dizzy, but at least he could recognise that the man was a marine. "Oh, yes I did..." he decided to co-operate with the lie of the marine and he walked towards the defeated Douche. He grabbed him on his back and he said "Thanks for the assistance..." while he looked towards the other two members of the pirate crew who were about to be shot by the marine captain! What was going on at the island?!

"What do we do now sister?" Niko asks Aria, seemingly troubled, well it makes sense, they did had about 30 snipers pointing at them. Niko gets up, and splits bloods, irritated, while men begin to aim at them too.
Douche gets up meanwhile, and looks around. He then grabs his head and yells "Shit, marines!" but then calms down and remembers that he was fighting alongside a marine anyway. Aria looks around, and crosses her hands again, sighing. "I guess it can't be helped..." she starts to say, but then, a loud rumbling voice is heard, and she smiles widely and sinisterly. She rubs her hands too, and looks at something that approaches, something big, everyone sees it, and most are left with jaws wide open and down on the ground. It looks like .. a robot is approaching them?! It's a massive metallic thing that seems to resemble a clown, it's huge, at least 10 meters tall.
"Perfect! It's the boss! And he's riding the "Perfection Troller! You are all going to get smashed now!"

Salty could not keep up with the flow of the events because he was quite injured. He could only see images of what was happening and Douche who was along his side for the time being. That shots of the Marine captain to the pirates and their counter reactions... All of these was making Salty feel uncomfortable. And on top of this, something even worse was about to happen! A robot appeared and from what the members of the Troll Pirates indicated, the robot belonged to the boss of the pirates! The boss was coming! "Damn..." Salty said while coughing blood. "We are doomed...".

"It's definitely over now!" Hiko yells, and bursts out laughing at the marines that came to act as reinforcements. Jack slowly moves his glasses away from his eyes, as he is left speechless, looking at the large, steel construction coming towards their way. The other marines are also left like this, and while some braver ones turn their rifles and snipers onto the robot, they all share the look of desperation on their eyes and faces.
The thing stops moving, it is moving using large, tank-like tires. There are obvious sighs that it carries and utilizes rockets and such projectiles. This thing .. it could potentially ravage the town itself! Is those ruffian's boss that reckless and ruthless? But then, a door at the top of the " mecha clown's" opens.
"Boss! Show them how wrong they are to mess with us, the Troll Pirates!" Hiko and Niko yell, and raise their hands in excitement. But then, as the figure appears on top, their expression slowly goes from excited to confused, then to surprised, then to speechless, and then to sheer goofy-shocked.
"Hmmm .. thankfully, I managed to make it stop moving." Johnny says. He's the one that opened the door ... he's the one riding this thing!!
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEH?!!!! WHO IS THAT IDIOT?!!" Hiko, Niko and Aria scream, making face faults.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Salty was screaming as he was in fear, along with Douche, as the giant mecha that supposedly had the boss of the troll pirates inside it appeared. If that guy inside was the boss, the marines had no chances of victory. With Salty and Douche injured after their harsh battles against Achoo, Zorn and Thorn, it was impossible to win against the boss. However, at the moment Johnny got out, the look of fear on Salty's face turned into a look of happiness. Hapiness about the fact that he would probably not get killed and about that Johnny would save the day and not himself. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!" Salty started laughing and he said to the pirates, while coughing "You are doomed, pirates! With Johnny-san here, you have no chance of victory! I am pretty sure that he is strong enough to take out all of you together, not to mention about your bo-".

At that moment, the marine stopped speaking. He was coming into a realization. Could it be...?

Johnny scouts around the area, placing his hand over his forehead. He whistles a bit, and then looks down, scouting again, before he notices Salty being there.
"Ooooi, Salty-san, are you alright? Would you like some orange juice?" He yells from up there, in a really, really unfitting for his question, serious, almost desperate, tone and facial expression. He then moves back inside, much to everyone's annoyance, making them scream again, their tongues rolling and eyes popping out.
"Who the hell is that idiot?!!" A marine yells.
"What is he doing inside boss's robot?!" Hiko yells.
Johnny appears again, and then looks around for Salty again. "You did let the city get into some big mess eh? .. well, no matter. You seem to have done a good job getting some bounty heads lined up. As for me .." He pops back inside, everyone going the same again.
"B-boss will kill you, you thief!" Niko yells, thinking that Johnny somehow stole the robot. However, this time, another person seems to appear, as a silhouette. "BOSS!!!" The trio yells.
The new figure is not seen clearly, but he seems to be giggling. He then lets out a loud laugh. He wears a small business hat, a black tuxedo and a red ribbon.
"Feast on my awesome machine of destruction! For I am, the formidable captain of the Troll Pirates, with a bounty of ..." He stops speaking, and then, something pulls him up. Moments later, it's obvious. Johnny is holding the apparently quite short man from the back of his tuxedo. On another note, the man seems beaten up, his face swollen, despite him smiling as if he's the victorious here.
"This weird man .. is the captain, right?" Johnny says, wondering, as the trio screams in shock, and the marines blink in confusion.

Salty could not believe in his eyes! Johnny had not only come to the area just in the nick of time, but also he carried the defeated captain of the enemies along with him. Seeing this, Salty could not hold himself anymore. Apparently, now the moral of his enemies would be down. It would be a great chance for the marine to attempt to do something to his enemies, now that they saw their boss being easily beaten by the hands of a "mere" Marine Commander.

"If Johnny can make this, I can make it, too!!!!!!" Salty yelled, surprising everybody in the are who was watching the events. Apparently, Salty was speaking to himself and he was expressing his thoughts loudly. "TROLL KICK!!!!!!!" he shouted after running towards the direction of his enemies and he attempted to attack them one after another with his signature kicking attack at their very "dearest" place.

Caught off guard, Hiko, the one closest to Salty, gets kicked right at this special place, and rolls around, holding his precious, and now badly hurt, spot, before he yells and falls down. The marines, Douche, everyone, scream and raise their hands, their eyes popping out.
"EEEH?! HE JUST ATTACKED THEM WHILE THEY WERE NOT FIGHTING!"
"RELAX MAN!!" The marines yell, shaking their hands around.
Johnny looks down confused, before he jumps off, letting go of the boss, who slammed on the ground face first, causing another wave of yells and eyes and tongues popping and rolling out.
"WHAT'S WRONG WITH THOSE 2 MARINES?!" They all yell again.
Johnny walks calmly towards Salty, letting the others pick up and apprehend that boss of theirs. The others couldn't really do much, as they were aimed by the now back to serious and focused sniper marines. Only Niko grits his teeth, while Hiko swears while weeping.
"Dear friend, you can calm down now, we have won. There's no need to go that far about it. Juice?" He says, and offers Salty a glass.

"Orange juice? Juice of orange?" Salty kept speaking with the annoying manner that Thorn and Zorn were speaking before in order to troll his enemies, much like because he actually got used to it. For a very long period that day, he was speaking like this and it was natural for the man to be confused about what he had to say. After all, he was focusing on the battle more than anything else. However, as soon as he realized it, Salty started moving his head around at the right and at the left very swiftly, snapping out of this completely.

"Sure, I guess." he said and he calmly walked towards Johnny's direction, grabbing the orange juice and drinking it as if nothing happened. As soon as he drank the last droplet of the juice, the man smiled and said "That was refreshing...", while everybody around would look at him with a shocked look on their faces because of the man's ignorance. It was probably the first and the only time that they watched a marine stoping a crucial battle in order to drink some orange juice, but nothing could be done about this. Salty could not change, after all.

"So.." Johnny says, passing next to Salty as he is drinking the juice, and with his hands at his trouser's pockets. "You had a solid catch of .. I can't even count, but this whole thing seems large. With the captain's bounty we have a total of ..." He begins to think, ignoring the fact that there's still 3 pirates not caught. Well, although, that was probably not quite true, as they were aimed by all those guns, it's not like it mattered much.
"98 for the pair, about 85 for the tights freak, and with the captain's bounty of 102 million.." Johnny continues to calculate, while some of the marines gulp.
"He beat a pirate with a bounty of over a hundred million? What is he?!" They say, but at that same time, Johnny comments, not really answering them, he was just speaking his thoughts out loud. "The captain is really weak, I think he was using the other, actually skilled ones, to make a name for himself.." That statement is followed by the now classic "Eh!" that was going in that event. Aria simply groans. *He's right, captain's not much.* She thinks to herself, but as the others seem visibly upset that Johnny "insulted" their captain, it seems that only she is aware of this.
"It makes up to, with the other 3, well over 300,000,000!" Johnny remarks.

Salty could not believe in what his friend was saying. He was explaining the total bounties of the other people who were caught. Salty was not stunned because of the fact that he did not know about the people's bounties. After all, he was the head of the photography department so he had pictures for everybody. He was stunned because of the fact that he could not really believe that it was him and Johnny who actually managed to catch all those pirates and on top of that in a very dangerous place, the territory of the sea emperor Anubis Neferiti.

"Seriously?!" Salty yelled with surprise before passing out. He did not pass out because he was damaged. No, it wasn't that. In fact, he actually got used to that. He passed out because of his excitement and his happiness. What a weirdo...

"He passed out!!" The marines yell. But Johnny casually turns, walks, grabs Salty, and carries him on his armpit, as if it's the most normal thing in the world. "Good job, captain. and great idea to call for backup." He later remarks, but looks around suspiciously, as if he wants to see if anyone has something else to say about it. Yep, he was the one that called the marines.
Flashback from before,
"We need reinforcements on Whiskey peak, at the Blue Lime area. Facing off against the Trollish pirates."
"W-whaoh .. w-who is calling?
"... Captain Salty of the Photography department. And make haste!" Johnny says, trying to imitate Salty's voice, failing totally.

Back to the present, the marines have finished putting cuffs onto Hiko and Niko, one of them was already beaten up, the other one was in no condition after that horrible kick. As they approach to Aria, she grins.
"Aint gonna get me!" She yells, and throws something down. It's an orb, and as soon as it falls down, it cracks, and a huge cloud of smoke erupts.
"Smokeball!!!" A marine yells.

Salty would not wake up. Apparently, now that he was actually unconscious, he was feeling much more relaxed and his body did not want to wake up. Ignorning all the events that were taking place around him, Salty was having a very sweet dream, probably the dream of his life.

In a very luxurious beach, Salty is sitting under an umbrella. Around him, there are several marines who are accompanying him. Even if he wears swimming clothes, he still has the standard cape that a marine has on his back. "Fleet Admiral..." Johnny's voice is heard and Johnny appears out of nowhere in the dream, much like his original counterpart. "We have received a message from the Gorosei..." he said afterwards. Johnny was also dressed with the swimming clothes and he had a cape on his back. "Thank you, Admiral Kitora (Yellow Tiger)." Salty said and then he drank a juice that Johnny gave to him.

Salty was not waking up. It looked like he was envisioning his best dream ever!

"Oooh, look at his face, he seems to be having a good dream."
"Maybe it's about sexy dancers eh?"
"You pervert, surely he thinks of the rewards of today's events."
"I say that he dreams about me!" The last one, unlike the previous comments that were marines talking, was Douche. Who was also, apparently, shackled up and sitting cross-legged, watching the sleeping Salty. It seems that some time passed that he's asleep, as there's no sight of combat anymore. They are in fact, just outside of a house that seems to be a hotel, or at the very least a motel, while other marines are speaking with the citizens. While some others are working on repairing some of the damages caused. And a few stare at the large robot. Salty is actually resting on a bed, someone carried a bed outside! Why was that? Well, the building also had suffered some damage, that's why.
Johnny in the meanwhile is resting on the ground, his hands at the back of his head, leaning against a wooden wall of a house.
"Well, today went well. We took care of that pirate organization." He remarks. "Uh, that busty woman left..." a marine says, and adds "And why are you so lax? We have 2 captains here, why are you acting like the boss?"

Salty on the other side, was still enjoying his dream. He was watching at his ideal dream and he was feeling really good. "You are the greatest, Fleet Admiral Peppery!!!" his marine subordinates were saying while Salty was still at the beach, along with Johnny who was serving him with the alias "Kitora" and the rank of Admiral. However, while in the dream, something unexpected was about to happen... While Salty was having fun, he turned his head towards the marines for a moment. He said "Hey guys, could you make me a fav-" but before he completed his sentence, his jaw dropped to the ground. "HUUUUUUUUUUUH?!" he said and then he noticed everybody's face, except from Johnny's, transforming into Douche's face "SUUUUUUUUUUUUCKER!!!" everybody would say and the shocked Salty woke up immediately from his dream, only to listen to Douche's words about what Salty was dreaming.

"DREAMING OF YOU?! YOU ARE DEAD, DOUCHEBAG!" Salty yelled in a funny way to Douche and he started chasing him around the place, while everybody else was laughing.

"Waaaa-aaah, hey what's the matter Peppers!" Douche yells, and is running around in circles. While this carries on, he suddenly turns and attempts to kick Salty in his delicate area, yelling "MEN DON'T RUN AWAY!" but instantly, a pair of marines get up and serious, point their guns at him.
"Ack? I forgot, I am also captured!" Douche says, taking a derpy expression on his face.
Captured? Come to think of it, he's also, technically speaking at the very least, a pirate, and a member of that same crew they just basically dismantled. Apparently, while Salty was asleep, no one was there able to explain the whole situation.
"We didn't send you with the rest cause you seemed to be somewhat helpful, and you are fun too, but don't get cocky, pirate!" a marine yells.

"Huh? Captured?" Salty said with a surprised look on his face and as soon as he listened to this, he stopped chasing Douche, who apparently destroyed his dream. He looked towards Douche with a serious look on his face and he scratched his head, while Douche was scratching his nose, as if nothing serious was going on. "That guy helped me take down the enemies... That guy is my friend!" Salty yelled to the other marines, protecting his friend from the other marines who believed that Douche was with the bad guys.

"I'm afraid that we have to capture him, if he too is a pirate. He actually yelled that while you was unconscious." Spades says, having walked next to the men, but still nodding for the marine aiming at Douche to put his weapon down. "Captain Salty, you are awake ... or, shall I say, Commodore Salty." He continues, looking at Salty.

"Huh? Commodore Salty?" Salty questioned the man. Apparently, Spades was informing Satly that he was getting promoted to a commodore. Before Salty could scream in happiness about that turn of the events, he fainted from excitement once again and everybody who was around started laughing, including Douche who had a really bad sense of what was funny and what was not.

"My my, Boss Salty, you really need to relax a bit and take it easy .." Johnny's voice is heard, as he walks towards the group, with hands in his pockets.

Mini-Intro Box
Captain Johnny Cool

"I didn't expect that you'd be a high-ranked marine! Salutes!" A marine says, and waves at Johnny, who in offer gives him a glass of cherry juice, much to the blonde man's confusion. Looking around, Johnny sighs. "The other thing you told us, fellow captain.." He says, apparently he was well informed of the situation, and wants the man to tell the now highest in authority in this area, Salty.
"Right. Commodore Salty.." Spades begins, hoping that Salty can actually listen to him. "The central, as you have probably figured, immediately decided up raising your ranks. However, they also demand that you are to escort the captives to "Blue Stripe". They will be tranferred into the prison there for now, and there Vice Admiral Niiro is expected to take them and move to Impel Down."
When the name of the area "Blue Stripe" was spoken, Douche flinches and rolls down, his eyes popping up, but then, plays it off saying "Oh, nothing, I just tripped."

[THREAD ENDS FOR ME]

[OOC: Blue Stripe sounds cool as a name, but before we reach it, I was thinking of a thread that takes place while we head there so you will be the one doing Blue Stripe ]

(OOC: Alright, edit the post above into the final post of Salty, since we would need to explain how Douche gets away xD & also sent me of your plan and thread on pm, so I edit that post right now to the final post before this thread's closed )

[OOC: no worries about this, we will explain what happens in the end of this thread in the next thread ]

Very well then ... by the power of having made this thread I thereby call it...
THREAD CLOSED
