Serious: A change of heart (Open)

A lone dinghy floats amongst the vast emptiness of the sea. Cant say for sure due to the lack of navigation skills possessed my the sleeping man covered in blood. The Sun rose high as the small boat approached an ominous ship. Onboard said ship a chubby spineless man chuckled in merriment.

"hehehehe My dear Creed im proud to announce another fine deal has been made."
Enduring the sweaty handshake presented to him. The naval captain greedy grin arose from his bland features.

"Life is so easy when u offer girls passage in these dangerous waters. Our crummy salaries are not close to enough to satisfy my passion dear Gerald."

The Fat pirate captain giggle once more. "Oh common u bastard u make more then I do!! Getting money from those girls for safely escorting them and then selling them to me for our sex trafficking business. Your practically the richess guy I know... But my dear Creed what a fine crop u brought me today."

Gerald proceeded to grab a young woman bound by ropes by her chin lifting her off the ground and planted a greesy kiss upon her lips. The Woman screamed with all her might.

Crimson eyes forced open. As a shadowy figure appeared on the rail of the ship. "Hey whats this?! a marine or a pirates ship? I dont remember much. But you can call me Chu... Someone's gunna pay for ruining my nap!"

Creed and Gerald heard the commotion form inside the cabin and hurried out onto the deck.
Gerald asked Chu dumfounded. "Where the hell did you come from?"

Creed nervously gazed at him. "Gerald that's Chūsei Kuroshinku!!!"

The ten man pirate group opened fire while Creed and his 4 man marine escort and Gerald stood back.
"Red Reflect Wall!"
a large red wall appeared in front of Chu and reflected the bullets back injuring 7 of the pirates in various ways.

Chu frowned and lifelessly gazed at Creed... "So who was the one who screamed earlier?"

Gerald quickly retorted "Oh that was me mr chu." Letting out a loud girly scream.

Scratching his head Chu gave them a wiry smile "Oh was that it? Well I can forgive you for waking me up but I wont forgive your men over there."

Creed quickly stepped in front of Chu. "If I recall correctly your a man who can be reasoned with mr chu was it?"
Reaching for one of his four katana a flash of blinding light erupted. Chu appeared on the other side of the ship and sheath his sword three of the pirates rubbed there eyes as they literally started to fall apart. Starting with there arms then there torso's slide off there body. "Now I fancy myself as a gentleman I can tell the screams of a woman over my piggy over there what are you men... no what are you animals up to?

(Narration: What is chu's true intention? will he save these women? turn his back on them or even take over this measly operation? Find out by joining in and altering the future with your desired post. Next time On one piece Chu Kuro Friend or foe?)

Dagon was on a solo mission away from his master; an assassination of a sex trafficker. The island was told they'd receive 500,000,000 Beli and all the loot and goods on the ship. Karasu, leader of the island, determined the assassination could be handled by his cook, Shezmu Dagon, who had been antsy, desiring bloodshed again. The sex trafficker had apparently tricked a certain noble into a bad situation, money-wise and prison-wise. The noble, still in prison, made a contract to have the trafficker killed. That's where Dagon and the DIA came in.

This can't really be the ship can it? It seems too shabby. I suppose it is supposed to look shabby to discourage attackers. Or maybe this guy only appreciates functionality.

Dagon was in the water, hidden from the crew. Suddenly, he heard a commotion on the deck. He heard screams, and euphoria burst through his body. How pleasant the screams were. Then he heard someone objecting, and a name; Chusei. Chusei had made the info books of the DIA several years ago. He's supposed to be dangerous despite his low bounty. Hopefully Chusei wasn't about to make Dagon's job difficult. Dagon wanted a feast, not a battle. But bloodshed of any sort made him ready for anything; he loved it all.

Float

Dagon used his float technique to rise at near the side of the ship.

Shift

Dagon used his fishman karate to shift just under soru speed to the top of a mast. The only one with a hope of seeing his blur was chusei, but chusei was facing a different direction. It would be unlikely he would be seen. Dagon observed, getting ready for his meal.

Seeing his dire situation escalate creed quickly announced. "Chu why don't u join us? with your strength we could expand our business and.." The naval captain was a tall man with wavy golden brown hair a prime example of a man well muscle wise anyway.

Chu's mind eye took in effect his seven years of imprisonment in utter darkness long ago heightened his sense of smell and hearing.  Scratching his head chu exclaimed. "Does anyone else smell fish?... that's besides the point. Bring out the women you have aboard your ship and well see how it goes from there.

Seeing that there was a slight chance to persuade Chu Creed sighed in relief. "you four go get the girls I'll keep an eye on mr chu in the meantime." The four navy members announced in unison "Yes sir!" Using soru the dashed below deck.

Chu slowly walked over to the other members of the pirate crew writhing and wiggling on the ground. "Hey piggy! How did u make it to the new world with a crew like this?"

Gerald frowned as his rage started to swell. "I merely just paid for there services most of them worked for free due to the nature of what we do here. By just sampling the merchandise they are cheap. But I see I should have gotten stronger men I knew there were meddling people like you who interfered with navy business."

Chu yawned as he saw the three women who were captured appear in front of him as the navy bodyguards returned.

Creed piped in. "How about it Chu? Join us and make you filthy rich or die here?" For reassurance three of the bodyguards places there sabers to the delicate necks of the young girls.

Chu crimson eyes lite with a excitement. "Im really not concerned by the threat any of you possess but I do not wish to see such cute women slain by you grotesque men..." Slightly lifting two of his katana's and sheathing them The flash dials blinded the 4 navy men while Chu threw three ninja stars which hit each of there sword arms directly on there elbows. In result the three men dropped there sabers.

Creed and Gerald sped to the side of Chu.  Creed slashed at chu's right with his an bastard sword and Gerald slashed at his legs with and axe. Two reflect walls appeared on the sides onf him as well. "You two are even worth drawing out my blades. The axe bounce back and the dull side hit Gerlad in the shin. "Owwowww!" And CReed Sword exploded shattered the reflect wall. Drawing his Yellow Katana Chu parried the oncoming sword. The second explosion send chu flying into the ships mass knocking it over.

"My my what a surprise." at that moment creed used soru to appear infront of Chu. "Time for you to die!"
Chu used parried once more while using green reflect wall. A green transparent wall appeared where there blades clashes and reflected the explosion back at Creed knocking him back. Creed rose off his kneesand whipped the blood of his mouth. "Men! its time to finish this!"

Chu smiled "I Guess I underestimated you I'll actually have to try." The girls crying suddenly caught Chu's attention as gealrd started to drag them to the row boat on the other end of the ship.

Shift

Dagon appeared behind gerald at near soru speed, undetectable to most, knife at the ready; He made a single slash with the fearsome blade. Assuming luck or a bystander with high speed didn't spare his life, Gerald should lay dead, by Dagon's logic. His knife was capable of cutting through bone and stone, it would make little sense if it couldn't behead someone with a solid stroke, as he has so often before.

Dagon stood in place, knife at his side, teeth visible. He was releshing the moment, the time of assassination. His feast was about to begin. Without even checking to see if Gerald was alive, Dagon marched towards and injured mercenary, and spoke to him, loud enough for everyone around to hear.

"I'm about to put you out of your misery, regards of the D.I.A. We get hired for assassinations like this all the time, but they usually don't send me alone. You see, I'm a leech fishman; I eat human flesh. It is my favorite cuisine. And seeing as how lord Karasu would be displeased with loose ends and all, I just can't help myself. But you sir, are the first loose end. Instead, you get to be burned alive."

Dagon poured the slightest glimmer of fat on his blade at the moment of the soldiers blood-curdling scream, and chopped his throat, setting him on fire. The floor beneath him caught fire from the flames. Dagon sheathed his knife, and laughed loudly and maniacally.

Before Gerald could utter a vile curse his windpipe was served by Dagon's knife the excessive fat on his neck kept his head attached. With a shred of skin as it dangled from the back of his neck as his blood gushed out like a water fountain.

The remaining 6 injured mercenary pirates did there best to scramble away from Dagon. One of them could be heard saying. "To hell with this our boss is dead screw these guys!"

Dagon's actions had not gone unnoticed. Chu ears perked up. "Im not sure who the D.I.A is but I would like to test my meddle against other assassin's" turning his attentions to creed chu smiled.

drew his red and blue katana and unleashed a blinding light. forcing Creed quickly rub his eyes. "Dial Slash Wave! a fire air blade and an ocean water air blade combined. Creating a huge boiling water air blade.

The Boiling blade hit Creed as he tried to parry it. As his bastard sword exploded he minimized the main damage from the boiling edge. Only receiving a scar across his chest and second second degree burns.

However in that instant that Creeds sword exploded four green walls appeared around Creed. which reflected the explosion and boiling water back in forth within the green box. Desperately unable to breath the hot sea water within the box Creed slammed his sword again a wall and shattered the box.

Red as a lobster Creed clung to life as his skin and flesh started to melt right off. Boiled alive he clung to life desperately. "Stareing as Chu's lifeless crimson eyes as he faded away. "Youll regret this skypiean ...men inform the partnnneersss..."

upon crocking one of the marines use soru to speed off behind a a rock cluster they were anchored at. Getting in a small sub he submerged. The remaining three marines stay behind to buy there messenger some time.

Two marines used soru and charged to each side of Dagon while one slashed at his neck and the other pulled out two pistols and fired at his chest. Chu stood back interested to see what the leech man could do.

"Shadow Soru!" Blending into the shadows at soru speeds Chu moved in the direction behind Dagon.

Shift

Dagon kicked off into flight, his float still being active, to appear behind the two marines with pistols. Dagon kicked the left one forward to have his eye gouged out by the marine with the sword. Dagon kicked the stunned swordsman in the head, knocking him backwards, towards the flicker he noticed just after the kick, and in the same motion flips to the other side of the third marine, and jumps off his back. The marines are dizzy and one missing an eye, but otherwise healthy. Dagon was toying with them. He liked to play with his food. But more interesting enough was the other. The one who didn't belong on the ship.

Dagon floated onto a post and stared at the man, examining him from head to toe, analyzing his qualities; Dagon's analyzing helped him identify the foes skill level to a vague extent based on his confidence, but overall it was fruitless. He looked the part of the cold analytic, but he was only interested in food. And blood. Dagon opened a cantine and sipped some high-proof blood-wine. Dagon breathed as the hot liquid of 170 proof rolled down his throat, sweet and rich as could. It calmed him and helped him to pay attention.

The one eyed marine cursed as he clenched his eye with his left hand as the two others regrouped around him. All three made a defensive line directly cutting Dagon and Chu off from the direction there companion retreating. One eyed announced to the 6 mercenaries. "Stand and fight with us comrades or die a watery death.

two of the mercenaries jumped over board as the other 4 joined up with the marines awaiting there foes next moves.

From the shadows chu used "Hook Chain Wrap!" Attempting to wrap his chain around Dagon and locking it with the hook if successfully locked the chain around his body will emit poison gas from the flavor dials. Holding the chain in his right hand he had his yellow katana in his mouth and his left hand on the sheath of his red katana.

Chu smiled with mild interest "Show me your talent and prove to me you have the right to call yourself an assassin in my presence!"

Dagon noticed the chain in an instant and shifted away from it, and then behind the line the marines had made.

Slash

Dagon covered his left hand in water blades, forming claws, and slashed a nearby marine's head into pieces. Upon examination it was one forming the defensive line.

Crunch

Dagon then punched the one-eyed marine as he turned around; his gura gura ring and his goro goro ring activated upon contact with the man's chest, which created a bright flash of light, a loud crack, and repelled him. Dagon expected one eye to die from the combination of an electric shock and shockwave, but it could have left him alive. While punching the man, Dagon's crunch was aimed at the throat of the last marine and he began to drain him of blood.

Judo Flip

Not neglecting the assassin in front of him, as the entire attack only took about 2 and 1/2 seconds, dagon activated hos judo flip technique in preperation for the expected attacks from the assassin before him.

"I have no need to prove myself to prey like you, forfeit your life so I can feast on your organs!"

With the death of one eye a pile of bloody corpses we piled behind Dagon. Chu closed both his eyes as he smiled. "I will test all your skills. If you have any talent ill let u live."

Chu threw Ten white smoke flavor dial star's The entire ship was covered in thick white smoke. Unable to see Chu relied on minds eye.

"Shadow soru +Jet Dash!" Moving at lighting speeds jet dials blasted from the bottom of his boots.

"Flash Dance!" Useing his three sword style Chu Started on Dagon's Left flank. With a drawing technique so powerful it can split large obstacles in half. When he drew his red and green katana's The blinding flash combined with the white smoke created an even stronger blinding light as he slashed at Dagons chest with his Burning Red and Poison green katanas. Slicing at his neck with his lightning yellow katana in his mouth.

Chu was deeply focused he was Determined not to use his devil fruit abilities on this would be assassin. Maybe Chu would get a new ally out of this maybe a apprentice. All Chu new was this person claimed to be a assassin and being one of the two remaining Master Shadow Rokushiki left alive his pride was on the line.

His thoughts wondered. (Ive always been on the side lines not picking a side between good and evil but I need to act. My name means neutrality But I will home my skill and change this world weither it be for light or darkness I Am Chu!)

(OOC: been a bit busy, sorry for the wait)

Dagon was unfazed by lack of sight. He was of one of the darkests crevices along the ocean floor, so dark even predators with light find themselves blinded. Dagon could "see" in the blinding smoke without any issue, and used it to his advantage. His judo flip had increased his agilty and balance; with this increase, dagon was easily able to weave his way between the blades and right on his foe's left flank. Dagon wanted to taste this man's blood so badly, he would almost be willing to forfeit.

Slash

Landing on his feet, he slid slightly back, giving away his position in the smoke, which would have been most undetectable before his landing. Dagon launched forward at his foe without hesitation, preparing to cut his foe bit by bit. His left hand raised, and came forward, right arm pulled back.

Deep Freeze

At the moment before Dagon's slash would have hit his foe assuming the foe did not move, his slash is frozen to form razor sharp ice-blades. Regardless of an impact being made, Dagon would then direct his claws downward and flip into the air for a better view.

Stopping his flash dance the moment his blades didn't make contact Chu smiled. "It seems my smoke screen Has no effect on you good. Ill have to up my game. How about fried Leech!"

"Jet Dash" His Jet Dails blasted him closer to Dagon to meet his attack.

"Hidden Art!: Burning Shadow King's Gun!" Chu placed two of his katana right in front of the Dagon and launched a devastating shock wave at the moment of release Chu activated the flame dials in his Red Katana.

In Result A burning shock wave advanced towards Dagon. If struck he would suffer burns as well as take internal damage from the advanced shockwave. Chu didn't move so if Dagon took the burning shockwave head on he would suffer from what was left of Dagons Ice attack.

Chu's thoughts. "My Black box would surly end this but the only reason I ever ate the disgusting fruit was to beat that bastard unholy. This Dagon turning out to be promising I hope he survives.)

(OOC its ok just glad u posted =P lol so you feel like killing Chu or teaming up?)

Crunch

Dagon shared blows, not phased by the intense pain in his chest and right arm, slashing through the foe's chest and arms; the cuts were severe, but not life threatening, similar to Dagon's wounds. The move was calculated however, because as his claws went down, slashing the foe's shins vertically, he used his crunch. Flipping over his foe, he fired his crunch point blank, at near undodgable distance. His jump was directed towards the bloody corpse of a fallen marine.

Dagon had chosen his move carefully. He now had two nearly impossible to defile sources of blood. With either the blood from the corpse or the blood of his foe, he would regenerate. Burns and punctures are nothing to the resiliance of a fishman with recovery abilities. Unlike sea star fishmen and some other types, his regeneration could not regenerate completely lost limps; however, it would handle burns near instantaneously, internal or external. Dagon had intentionally taken the blows knowing that if they shared equal damage as they had, Dagon would be able to recover. If his opponent could not, he'd be at and intense advantage and if so, he would know his opponent better for the battle. Ready for anything he watch as the crunch neared his prey.

(OOC: kinda a bit of both. Dagon wouldn't make offers, but you could convince him by praising his skill to spare you. Then he would invite you to the DIA regardless of your interest. But in character, dagon wants to maim, butcher, and devour you. I'd rather team up in the sense that they keep contact. I can't ooc offer a place in the dia as I am not captain, but ic I can which means at the very least you could be a dia client, and dagon would be your... sponsor I guess is a good word. But I'm sure crow would welcome you if he decided to actually get off his rear end and do stuff for the crew again xD. So in summary, yeah I don't particularly want to kill you.)

Chu greatly surprised that Dagon wasn't knocked back by his shockwave. Bracing himself he leaned back while kicking the deck with his jet dials he prevented a fatal wound by shifting backwards like 2 feet while taking on on the pressurized water blades. He said "Funny I Have a similar technic."

A Deep slash appeared across Chu's Chest as blood oozed from his body. However dagons persistence put Chu in an uncomfortable situation As He appeared above him.

Chu Drew his blue Katana activating the water dials and slashed at water leech Sucking the water in his Katana at the same time he pressed his Red katana over his chest activated those dials cauterizing his wounds with the burning blade. Gritting his Teeth he sopped the bleeding by inflicting more damage to himself.

Not Giving Dagon any time to think and Aiming for the area around where Dagon was landing Chu threw 4 Explosive Gas Dial Ninja's stars.

And When Dagon Landed Chu used " Red Dial Slash waves!" Unleashing two Burning wind cutters at Dagon core if they hit or cut him wasn't his objective as soon as they reached him half the ship would be exploding.

After his Attack CHu cluched his chest coughing up some blood. It Seems he had some internal damage.

Quickly using his Jet Boots Chu jumped high in the air to avoid being on the soon to be sinking ship he was a devil fruit user after all.

Deep Extension

Dagon had no time to think as the blood touched his lips and poured him into an even greater frenzy. His wounds healed quickly and he saw as he landed an attack he couldn't quite understand in the short amount of time he had to see it; his instincts took over. He charged directly into the attack.

Deep Eruption

Reflexively, Dagon used the heat to increase his body temperature, rather than his own calories. Given he was just cooling his body seconds ago, he was able to use a lot of the heat, though it still took calories to keep himself alive and maintain the heat. Dagon had stocked up on calories by draining them from the soldiers, but he couldn't hold this up forever. He was exhausted. Dagon crashed into the blades of fire, and with his dwindling supply of energy, he was knocked back. Dagon absorbed almost all the damage, breaking and burning the deck where Dagon had just stood, but dagon caught himself, in pain and losing blood rapidly.

Shift

Dagon, not yet recovered from the fire blades, drew his knife, soaked in fat, and made a diagonal spinning slash with the entirety of his body in the motion, using his left hand. The fat would be ignited by his knife, creating flames so hot they'd spark violet and glow blue, if it came into contact with anything. It would easily burn through the ship's floor, and spread. Dagon used the flames for cooking and disposing of waste, such as corpses not worthy of being cooked. Dagon was still healing but he was not in the condition to prolong the battle. He was running out of energy. With this in mind, he readied his right fist, waiting for the moment to punch.
