Serious: Revival of the Cutting Edge Pirates , Jack in a Lighthouse ((Open to all Cutting edge members))

[[Chart Island]]
[[Lighthouse at the edge of town on a cliff]]

The chains clanged as the man moved his arms, he was reaching out to the front of him. A shining beacon to quench his thirst. Water was right there in front of him. He was so thirsty , having been captured and chained up like this. The Grisham Brothers handy work, since they were in charge of the Unknown Pirates 100-90 division. They had loads of pirates under them. The man finally got the water, his dreadlocks all in a mess, as he thought of another day where he would have sailed away. So much for the grand plan of a new crew. Still he wouldnt let it get him down, he drank his water and waited patiently for salvation while singing "YO HO my lovelies, the game starts today, one day youll find, in a matter of time, Jack will get away, HAHAHAAHAHAHAA"

Raine had caught rumor of some pirates who had landed in his town. He started wondering in his life about what to do and he was still deciding on what to do next. Though for now he just wanted to see what the deal was for these pirates, were they Peace-Mains? Morganeers? Last thing this town needed were a greedy lot who would threaten the town. He didn't want to have to play maid for the town again, or better yet pest control, so he mainly went to go analyze the situation himself. He walked toward were the rumored pirates were and would hold his pistols calmly in his pockets. There it was, the lighthouse. Now to see what would happen.

Oniyuri sat in her hotel room looking out the window with a book in her hands , she sighed as she put down her book and looked at a bunch of notes on the desk.. possible leads on who took Jack and where he could be.. She had narrowed it down to one group of pirates but she had no idea where Jack could be, She didn't want to blunder into an area claimed by the unknown pirates without knowing anything about their abilities. If she did then she too would be captured. She couldn't give up though.. She had to find her captain and bring the crew back together, She packed her book and her pistols in her bag and fastened her wakizashi to her hip. She left her hotel room quickly and began running around in the streets asking about possible locations where the unknown pirates might keep someone, apparently. There was a suspicious lighthouse someone in town.. Oniyuri wouldn't attack anyone she would just check it out.. She asked the man again for the directions and she started heading happily on her way.

[[On the third level of the lighthouse]]

The younger looking man wrote down something on some empty paper as the men were patrolling and stationed all over. His blue coat was all pressed and neat as he smiled "Excellent... looks like Jacks crew have given up.... plus the boss will be happy that the shipment is on time.... Very nice......" One of the pirates walked to him and then said "Captain, we have reports sir, there was a girl sighted in town, she looked liked the prisoners former first mate......" The man stood up and then looked to the bigger figure seated on the other side of the room "Well... looks like someone wants to die .... i think this will be fun brother!!!" The bigger laughed loudly as the pirates prepared everything, the crates and the boxes were almost ready to be moved.

[[Outside the Lighthouse]]

There were about 40 guards, all pirates alternating between guns and cutlasses. The guards were armed and ready, they were here to transport the last shipment for the Grandline. One of the guards saw a blue haired man near the lighthouse and grunted. He hated his job, but he still had to work. The unknown pirates were a very lucrative pirating force, and so they paid his wages. He walked foward "Oi, you there!!! Why dont you bugger off our property eh???"

Raine had walked toward the lighthouse even more."Huh? You're property?" He sneered a little, and scratched his head. "Well you see... I'm a bill collector from the town! So if you will pay me the rent and tax on this lighthouse, i'll be on my way! He was bluffing as he was internally smiling and would see if he could pull this off. He would than point his finger at the man and would make a gun sign with it. "Or do we have to get a little edgy?" He knew he was going to have to fight so he started to build up the energy in his body to do so but wouldn't emit it outwardly just yet. He just smiled kindly and would react normally to what was about to transact.

[[Lighthouse entrance area]]

The pirate sneered and spit on the ground "Bill collecter? Dont you know whose lighthouse this is boy?? Dont you know which crew controls these areas!!!" He pulled his logo forth to show Gray. He then grinned "This is the mark of the unknown pirates, the legion of pirates, the empire that not even the government dare to touch, and you think you can actually collect bills here, bugger off before i impale you!!!" The other pirates were onlooking and watching staying vigiliant at the thought there might be trouble.

"Hm?" He smiled and the air around him cracked with static. "Unknown pirates? Well you guys live up to your names because i've never even heard of you guys!" He shook his head and cracked his neck. "Now seeing as I don't like you for being impolite I guess it's time to forcefully collect the tax! Zap Zap Pistol!" Lightning enshrouded his arm and one powerful arc of lightning would shoot out of his finger and head toward the lowly grunt as he than pointed an open palm toward the tower. "Hm how about now? You guys could just let me evict you?

The pirate was hit head on and fell backwards, his eyes white and his body fried. The other pirates immediately began moving. About 5 pirates shot pistols at him, as 5 other pirates charged at him with their swords outstrecthed as one shouted "HOW DARE YOU ATTACK US? DIE!!!!!"

He let out a smile, "What no pay!? Eviction time! ZAP ZAP CANNON! More electricity crackled as it charged into a ball and fired it forward, it would enlarge to the about the size of a cannonball and would travel toward the incoming troops. He heard the shots being fired and he would jump back before looking up at the pirates who shot at him and he would pull out his own pistols and sneered at the them. "Zap zap Channel!" He electrified his guns and started firing off electrified pellet like bullets to the guys who shot him, showing off his marksmanship, aiming for their chest and simply knock them out. No point to killing just yet.

The pirates were being hit , but some were still coming around and trying to surround him or sneak up behind him. The ones in the front who were charging, some had been brought down, but some slashed their cutlasses right across Gray, aiming for his chest and head.

"God I hate close range..." He said as the pirates charged at him, electricity coursed through him and he would wrap around his limbs. "Come on, Zap Zap Strike..." He saw the incoming attack and would duck and would attempt to uppercut the man who attempted to slash him as he would than opened his arms as he would do a spinning lariat, trying to clothespin the surrounding enemies,using his lightning as a psuedo shield.

The pirates were being taken down, the lariat was sucking them in and destroying them one by one. As some of the pirates backed off. there was noise from behind "This guy has a devil fruit!!!!" The pirates were organizing behind and now trying to get into a line.


[[3rd Level]]

The pirate ran up and panted as he stood in front of the two figures "Sir, there .... is ... huff.... an intruder downstairs.... hufff...... he is beating everyone, he is a DEVIL FRUIT USER!!!" The two figures simply sat in their seats not moving. "It seems a pest at the gate.... it cant be one of Jacks, they arent strong enough to pull off an attack like this....... very well, send Gruta and Mook to do some work..." The pirate bowed and then ran downstairs to the cages, it was time to release the pets.

As any of the pirates of remained flee, Raine simply deactivated his electricity for the moment. "This surely can't be it... Hm maybe it's safe to go in now. He out his hands in his pockets and would head toward the entrance if the tower.

IN the front entrance, there was a animal snarling, it had sharp teeth, and a hard shell, with a long sharp tail and snout. It looked like a carnivorous armadillo which was being ridden by a pirate. The pirate yelled "Go forth, Hunting DILLO!!!! kill this bastard!!!" The armadillo, charged at Raine and lashed its sharp tail at him.

"Well that's new..." Considering it's stubby legs it actual seemed kinda fast. He pulled out the rifle attached to his back as he used it to block the beast's tail, he would than jump back and sighed. "Ok... Zap Zap Channel!" He stood in place and aimed the rifle to the incoming huntingdillo and fired off a large electrical discharge from it. It should be pretty close range but hey, he's never seen this type of beast before, maybe it'll surprise him.

Oniyuri had finally reached the suspicious lighthouse, she was so happy to have a lead like this.. but to her misfortune there was a fight going on.. between what seemed to be a devil fruit users and a few run of the mill pirates.. If she was lucky she could sneak in! "Hello-" She called out as she ran up towards the lighthouse "-I'm here to tend to your wounded men! May I bring them inside?" If this went according to plan she could claim to be treating them but actually be injecting them with powerful sedatives.. Oniyuri stood ready awaiting one of the unknown pirate's answers.

The creature charged , and its shell repelled the electric shot as it wasnt strong enough to penetrate the creatures shell and insides. The big armadillo then charged to ram Raines body into the ground with its huge body.

[[Outside]]

The injured pirate who Oni was talking too looked at Oni like she was crazy "Are you serious right now? There is a really strong guy who came here and started kicking ass, you should get out of here, or at least go inside and find that guy, guhhhh, shit .... But , we set Gruta loose... i wonder if we let Mook go as well... if we did, everyone is screwed.... eheheehe, Gahhhh" The pirate was still in much pain, even if alive.

Raine got rammed to the ground and he spat up blood. "Unexpected..." He wiped his mouth as he laid there, creature on top of him. "Sorry about this... Seems like you have to die... Zap Zap Spike..." He opened his palm and it made a ball in his hand. He than made a twisting motion and it would spike up and would attempt piercing the dillo's armor amd pierce and electrify it's juicy innards.

The creature was blown apart and fell back after stuttering for a while. the ride fell off as well, and cried in agony as the creature died. The pirate then pulled out his pike and aimed it at Raines head. 2 floors above, the two figures watched the man enter and defeat Gruta. "Now that was unexpected..... i didnt think he would actually beat Gruta.... where is Mook?" The other one bellowed with laughter "Mooks been getting a good ol walk around, dont worry about him, BAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA"

[[Level 3 prison cells]]

Jack heard some noise, someone was here? Finally, but who could it be? Who would be able to come in here and do all that? Jack pondered as to who it was, Oni came to mind, but she wouldnt have had the firepower to pull off a direct frontal assault. Jack rasped his hands, he could almost taste freedom now.

Raine would sigh as he stood up, he rubbed his chest where he got slammed. "Damn thing, i think he broke a rib or two... Damn and i didn't want to kill anything... Sigh whatever.. He cracked his neck and would ignore his ribs for the moment. He charged up electricity in his arm, picked up his rifle and attached it to his back again and simply started to head in. He hoped he could just stroll in, god were these pirates annoying him...

As soon as Oniyuri got the chance she bolted inside, she smiled as she began to run up the stairs "I need a protected area! Are there any holding cells around here where I can treat the wounded?" She yelled out to any one of the unknown pirates "Guide me there and then bring the wounded to me!" She spoke again as she slowed down and started walking up the second flight of stairs.

The girl walked into the building but there was no one to answer her. Only defeated people were there all on the floor. She would have seen the giant armadillo which had just been zapped into death. As she walked up the second flight of stairs, this time she was greeted by a standing beast, it was a Alpha Humandrill, that had all sorts of weapons on its back and armor to boot. It aimed a quick slice down onto the oncoming Oni.

[[1 Level above Oni and 2 levels above Raine]]

"We might actually have to get involved... get your gear on, the boss made it for us...." The lighter of the two men walked up to place something on, while the bigger fellow grumbled and complained.

Raine finally got into the lighthouse and well he decided to go to the lower levels and clear them out before going on up. He cracked his neck and hoped he would find some bandage and disinfectant down there. He headed downstairs in search of more underlings and maybe even some medicine. Man he hoped it would be smooth sailing from here on out.

The levels below were pretty much empty, except one or two pirates still down there who were un aware. As they saw Raine enter the room, they attacked at once, pouncing and trying to attack Raine.

"Damn, nothing but bums..." He said as he did some searching and saw the two men come at him. "Sucks to be you guys! Bang! Bang! He said as he pointed his fingers at the men and would charge and fire a zap zap pistol in each hand toward the two men.
