Jermaine listened to what Loic said, the dark-skinned pirate had two choices ahead of him. Either take them out inside while they weren't looking which didn't seem all that fun for him. Or he could wipe them out here in the open and actually get a fight. Jermaine hadn't even thought of running away. There was no way his pride would let him do such a thing, he looked at Zoey and nodded. They were going to take these guys out, and they would do so right here. He heard the noise that Loic made and smirked before coming out, "Alright, it's time to have ourselves some fun here, don't you guys agree." He cracked his knuckles before cracking his neck. The man had a rather small smile on his face.


Jermaine looked at a group of men who decided to come out this time, and smirked, this would be even easier than he thought it would be. Three close-ranged fighters came at him first. The first one of them came at him with a diagonal sword-slash. Jermaine jumped up and for a second it looked like he was laying on air, with a quick spin his foot made contact with the nameless mook's head. The second guy was carrying something more akin to a mace. The spikes on the rather brutish looking thing would scare lesser men but not Jermaine. "That's a pretty big weapon you got there buddy, you compensating for something?" The two men looked annoyed, extremely so. They came at him at the same time, Jermaine watched them and raised one of his eyebrows. Due to their anger they seemed to have dropped all pretenses of any strategy or fighting style. The dark-skinned pirate avoided a punch from his left, as he spun backward and then took a small jump to the left to avoid a mace strike. He lashed out with a fast kick to his right which sent the larger of the two sprawling back, the other man received a punch to his jaw and was out cold like his friends. Jermaine stood there with a small smirk, "Is that all?"

"That's a pretty big weapon you got there buddy, you compensating for something?"

Granted, the person Jermaine uttered that line to was currently, ahem, predisposed; his face adhering to the concrete. Still, it had provoked quite a reaction from a couple of the mooks that had been waiting in the wings, biding their time from within the confines of the building. You see, those mooks, as well as the ones Jermaine had insulted, were part of the organizational help group known as BHWSP: Bounty Hunters with Small Pen- I’m sure you get the idea. Two mooks approached as Jermaine uttered his bravado-laden challenge, hoping to restore the honor of their defeated lesser-endowed brethren.

These two mooks, who we will refer to as BH1 (identified by his avian features and a red faux hawk) and BH2 (whose chubby face made him look like a blowfish), were in fact the founders of BHWSP, and were bound by an incredible brotherhood! And so they rushed out, as one. Literally, as one: BH1 was perched on BH2’s shoulders, charging forward like a knight in the vanguard upon his armored stallion. And their attack was… rather unorthodox.

All the while the two were moving, BH2 lashed out with his fists, while BH1 – the rider – lashed out with both legs and arms. I suppose every bounty hunter needs a signature technique or skill or whatever to make it in the world… and this was theirs.

Jermaine saw the two men and laughed as hard as he possibly could, this wasn't just the usual light laughter but a full belly grabbing type of laughter. "Who the hell sent Hansel and Gretel to come after me!" The man had forgone any pretense of holding back his laughter and really let loose, now what could he do to really turn this situation toward his favor. But then for some reason or another one of them climbed on the others shoulder to attack. Jermaine honestly didn't know how he was supposed to react. Was he supposed to stand there and let this ridiculous attack hit him? Really, did these men underestimate him or something? This was something that disappointed him quite a bit, but then he decided to shrug his shoulders.

He dropped his weight on the floor and got on his knees just seconds before their attacks could hit him. This was the all to famous trip-up maneuver, used by the powerful beings known as playground children to trip those who are far taller. This could work for these two guys, their balance must be off or something...Right? Well that was certainly what Jermaine was hoping for. To speed up the tripped process he decided to lower himself a little more.

There was indeed something to be said about the utterly disappointing – and now almost comical – caliber of bounty hunter that had been dispatched to meet with Jermaine Johnson. To be perfectly honest, the act of two people ‘combining’ was one of those ideas that only sounded good on paper. Like, the scribbled upon paper of a five year old. Indeed, it was as if a video game with its gimmicky mini-boss characters that succumbed to the most obvious tactics.

In this instance, Jermaine’s decision to, more or less, ‘sweep the leg’ was the correct one. Almost unbelievably, the chimeric assembly of poorly-endowed comrades found their legs caught against Jermaine’s strange maneuver. They toppled over instantly, falling unconscious; not from the impact or anything, but because their remarkable shame and embarrassment literally did not allow their beings to remain awake. Science.

So, let us see: two mooks, two weird and still weak mini-bosses… what next awaited Jermaine?

A red-haired man emerged, lazily strolling out, clad in a set of blue shirt and jeans familiar in its unremarkable appearance.

This was the owner of the onion parlor! The only difference was that this time around, he had some sort of strange visor covering his eyes and nose.

“I gotta thank you for cutting all those onions…” He sighed. “But I can’t forgive you for that ruckus at the warehouse… oh dear…”

With aplomb he sprang into action, allowing a set of white spherical capsules to impact against the floor. These capsules instantly released their payload, which – for the most part – appeared to be none other than a quickly spreading thin layer of mist.

Jermaine got up after the two men managed to trip up over him, for one reason or another they had fainted. The dark-skinned man had been expecting more, but even he wasn’t one to look a gift-horse in the mouth. Now how was he supposed to go about this again? The second that train of thought went through his head Jermaine saw the man who owned the onion warehouse. ”I don’t remember causing any sort of ruckus, you’ve probably got the wrong group or something...” Could he even call himself a group at the minute? Considering the fact that he couldn’t tell where the hell his group was at the minute. He had to stop his train of thought once more as a load of capsules blew up in front of him, well it seemed more like a pop to him, and Jermaine hadn’t expected mist to creep out from them. But he wasn’t about to run away, he was a brave man of the seas.

Although the second Jermaine breathed in the mist, he felt his eyes tear up, a lot. He couldn’t stop the tears and the stinging that followed. It must have been baby onions that the guy blew up! That could have been the only explanation! His jaw tensed as an emotion Jermaine could only describe as rage surged through him, his fists were tensed, and he bent his knees just that little more. He looked as if he was about to jump at the man right then and there, but then right at that moment, Jermaine turned on his heals and ran, ”There is no way I’m fighting anyone who uses baby onions to fight. My beautiful eyes burn, damn you all to heck!” There was no way his pride would allow him to truly run away, but Jermaine jumped the gate and tried to make his way toward a street corner, he had to prepare right? There was no way he would be able to fight off all these bounty hunters, well he probably could, but only if he used his brain, and made sure his focus wasn’t used up every post.

ooc:No problem, I already knew so it's clam, plus I'm a slow poster~.

It had been two weeks since Nanako told herself that she needed to stop spending money. Her families expectations had pushed her into lifestyle of never ending money spending. Who cares how much she spent on ingredients, either her restaurant would reimburse her or she would spend her never ending paycheck on it. Severing that man's hand had not only severed her employment but also her money flow. Nobody wanted to hire someone who would crack under pressure. The counseling enough nearly bankrupt her, she had to beg her family for aid, who wanted nothing to do with her. She had ruined her reputation and any hope of becoming a head chef at any restaurant ever again.

She was tired of being looked at like a monster, so she had to escape her island. That wasn't much of a problem. She simply told her family she wanted to visit a long distant relative in the middle of nowhere to escape the stress and humiliation. Her father jumped at the idea, paying for her ride to this North Blue island, to stay with a hick relative, at least that's how her family saw this island. It was quaint, it gave off the impression that you could just relax and eat delicious food all day. The only catch was the constant visits of pirates, but they were mostly here to just relax and didn't start any major trouble, at least not enough to get the attention of the Marines. She was considering opening a small restaurant or even a cafe, that would get her back on her feet, and she had enough money to possibly buy a food cart or something to get started. These past few days she had been busy walking around with a clipboard and camera, taking notes about locations she could stay without needing a permit to sell but also having heavy foot traffic. She also needed to get an in with merchant, she would need the finest ingredients this bum island has...no...that wasn't right, that was something her family would say. Nanako was accustomed to higher standard of living. She was well traveled but being a child prodigy with a respected family meant that you were guided around and only to places that matched her status. She was sure that in terms of common life, this island was just about average. That's what she kept telling herself.

She had taken herself very seriously, just because she was buying a simple food cart didn't mean that she could make the business meeting in rags. She had wore a black skirt suit with a green tie. What she didn't know about the business world was that if you look like you have money, they're going to milk you for your last cent. That fool wanted an outrageous amount for his cart, she wouldn't even dignify it. So now, walking in a huff she looked down at her clipboard flipping through the pages of notes trying to find the page where she wrote a list of names of street merchants who were clearly not profiting off their cart, someone must be willing to make a deal.

She suddenly felt like she had not only lost her balance but had shove quiet heavily. Some new force had came in fast, knocking her down, clipboard losing grip through her fingers and into a puddle. She tried to get it out as fast as she could but she was disgusted by the dirty water that her papers were absorbing. She had got her finger through metal loop of the clipboard and lifted it up letting dangle and drip. It was too late, half of the papers were completely smudged and illegible. A week of hard work, a week of not eating properly, a week of telling herself that she wouldn't have to stuck in the hole for the rest of her life, all gone.

"You buffoon! How dare you not watch where you are going" she shouted turning to see to see a tanned man with pulled back hair. He looked troubled and rushed but more noticeable were his blood shot eyes and the tears down his face. Was the idiot running from a bad break up? If she were the woman that had just left him, she would feel proud for making the decision. Still his...emotions...were no reason to destroy her life.

The onion-man looked on impassively as Jermaine made his tactical retreat. He heaved a loud sigh as the man used his impressive physical qualities to jump the gate; the onion-man himself was far too lazy to try something so strenuous. Still, as it were, he had no real reason to exert himself fully just yet – he had already forced Jermaine to play on the defensive, and for the time being, the head honcho’s estate was free from harm. No real reason to expend a rook when you could just keep sending out pawns.

“Okay boys… chase after him or… whatever you feel like doing.”

And so five ruffians immediately sprang out, turning the corner like a pack of bloodhounds. Luckily for them, it seemed that the man had been accosted by a particularly beautiful woman. She was screeching and looked particularly cruel, but it was a sexy sort of cruel. Like… whips and handcuffs cruel. Still, that didn’t stop the bounty hunters from attempting to overwhelm Jermaine with a sort of en masse tackle, the risk of having Nanako caught up in the mess be tamed – some bounty hunters really didn’t know chivalry.
Okay, fine, I actually have characters.

Jermaine stopped as he felt himself bump into someone, even though he was trying to run away from a group of bounty hunters the merchant still could not bring himself to let up on his manners that would be exceedingly rude right? He was about to apologize but then the woman started to shout at him, he could understand why she was so angry the second he saw a dirtied clipboard, he must have really messed up this time. ”Ah, I’m so so so sorry, I was in a bit of a rush since I’ve got a load of weird guys chasing after me. They don’t even have a good reason for chasing me either...” Jermaine couldn’t be sure that this woman wasn’t a bounty hunter, but the way she had reacted was making him lean more toward her being a normal everyday citizen. He bowed once more, but was surprised to see a group of five bounty hunters ready to tackle him, and the didn’t even have the courtesy to avoid the woman, how rude.

Jermaine aimed to push the woman away from the tackle that the group of bounty hunters had chosen to do, whether he succeeded or not was a different story. The next thing the dark skinned man had done was to jump over the tackle, it was close, extremely so. He used one of their heads as a sort of stepping stone. He turned to the rather beautiful woman that he had annoyed just a little while ago. ”Sorry for getting you dragged into this mess, I seem to have rather bad luck, especially when it comes to this island. Who the hell would have thought that a bunch of bounty hunters would own an island and then act hostile toward anyone they think is a pirate. Pretty damn crazy right?” Here came the million dollar question, well in Jermaine’s mind it was anyway. The man was going to check her reaction, if she was a bounty hunter; well he’d be well on his way out of this place....street. There was no way he could bring himself to run from this situation, it was too much fun.

The man's haste was due to a fight of some sort, now she was going to be dragged into this. As a child, Nanako never traveled the streets alone, she always had somebody ushering her to the next appointment, making her lack in any kind of street skills. Where was she some sort of ghetto? Was she going to be mugged? Here? Now? "You would dare lead those goons toward innocent civilians, how could you be so irrespons-" Nanako started yelling gesticulating frantically, so much so that she was caught off guard by the man's shove. She tried to catch her balance but after a few steps back she landed on her bottom. "What are yo-!??!" she called out angrily looking up to see about five goons diving at the man. With was seemed like second nature, the boy jumped up and dodged at the gang's attack.

What was it he just said? Bounty hunters? No, there is no way that this is true, the island is too peaceful to make it their business to capture pirates coming here. "You are a liar, the pirates come here in peace to spend coin, they're important to the island's economy. This island is not owned by bounty hunters, they must be here solely for you." she pointed at him sharply

Nanako had never seen a true fight, but she had a feeling something was going to happen. She however couldn't bring herself to move, being sheltered her whole life, she knew things weren't black and white, their had to be secrets. But still, if these men were after him, he had to be a pirate, and she had been warned to protect herself from pirates. She unclipped the back of her holster causing her chains to fall out and dangle, making clinking noises. She went to go reach for her cleavers, when she realized that the man just saved her from being caught in a dogpile, for that she should at least hear him out.

"What is going on?" she asked with her hands ready on the handles of her cleavers

Jermaine was finding the current situation more than a little bit difficult, not only did he have to deal with a group of bounty hunters but then he also had to deal with an angry woman. What was even worse here was that he couldn’t just run as he always did. ”I guess you’re not a local then, this archipelago is run by bounty hunters, and this island is the most successful. The reason is that all the people that live here are bounty hunters that specialize in using poisons and other things to deal with pirates that find this place without having to lift a finger. When it comes to fighting though they’re more than a little behind. Haven’t you noticed the lack of kids, or the lack of any panicking yet?” Why did he have to be the mature one? He wiped his eyes once more, they were still awfully red, and the stinging hadn’t stopped just yet.

”Now then, I’ve got a few angry bounty hunters to deal with, mind sitting still for a little while, I need to concentrate for this. I promise I’ll explain everything right after I’m done with this.” Jermaine got into what looked like a stance; he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. This was when two bounty hunters decided to take their chance. The first one came up at him from the front with big metal gloves, Jermaine let the first punch swing past him by turning his body to the left. He grabbed the man’s shirt and with a spin threw him into a bunch of metal trash cans. The man went flying head first into the bins. The second man slid in from under Jermaine and attacked using a fencing sword. Jermaine took a step back and was flanked by two other men. They came up behind him and swung their swords, Jermaine flipped over them and planted his feet onto their backs causing them to fall over rather harshly. While in mid-flight he landed back down and kneed the fencer in the face putting him out of commission. ”Two down.” He said with a rather confident smirk.

He looked at the other three left, they seemed to be a lot less confident than they had just a few seconds ago. Jermaine took the initiative this time, and sprang forward. He cocked his fist back and delivered a punch to swordsmen number two. The other two men reacted rather fast, one of them swung his sword at Jermaine while the other man came at him with a kick. Jermaine grabbed kickman number one and threw him at the oncoming sword. Only for said bounty hunter to stop his swing and catch his comrade. Jermaine delivered a kick to the head of the bounty hunter getting up to put him down for good. ”Well at least you’re tenacious; I have to at least give you some credit for that.” While he might be finding it a little hard to see, he wasn’t going to lose to a couple of mooks

Jermaine could certainly feel his heart pumping, while this current situation was far from nerve racking he could definitely say that he was having at least some measure of fun. The last two mooks able to fight were the swordsmen and kicker. The swordsman was bald, so Jermaine came up with a rather lazy nickname “Elvis”. The other man seemed to have a rather large wart on his face so he was now dubbed “Bullseye”. Elvis was the first to attack Jermaine, as the swing of the sword came to hit Jermaine in the face, he bent his knees a little bit, bent backward and as the sword came past his face the dark-skinned man lashed out with a kick that hit the man right in the stomach. Jermaine could feel himself losing balance. He decided to do a back-flip, and the second he regained his bearings Bullseye was already onto him. Two kicks came at Jermaine at blistering speeds but they were both blocked, Jermaine could feel his legs give way a little. But he retaliated with two punches just as fast. Bullseye meet the punch with a kick, the collision caused a disturbance in the air. Both combatants could feel the wind in their faces. Before Bullseye found himself blown back. It seemed while he had enough speed to keep up with Jermaine his strength was still lacking.

Jermaine decided to start the next round of fighting himself, he took a run up toward the swordsman who had already recovered, something akin to fear could be seen on his face, Jermaine jumped up and allowed the bottom of his shoe to meet the blade of his sword before using his other foot to kick Baldy in the face. The man was thrown onto the floor without his sword in hand. Jermaine took this opportunity and kicked the man in the side of his head, before turning to the last man standing. ”You guys are actually giving me a bit of a workout, not bad at all!” He said as he allowed a small smile onto his lips. He ran up to the guy and lashed out with a punch, which was ducked under. Jermaine decided to react by sending a knee toward the man’s face, but that was blocked. Next thing Jermaine had in mind was to attack using his elbow, once more it was blocked. So Jermaine did the next best thing, he tackled the man to the ground, restraining his arms using his legs and just let his fists attack the man in the face as many times as his fists would let him.

Now that the fight was over Jermaine could definitely feel the extent of his fatigue, he had spent the entire day either running away or fighting, how the hell was he supposed to break in now. He decided to run toward the area in which he remembered the mansion being located around. He jogged from alleyway to alleyway, he couldn’t bring himself to slow down even once. He didn’t want to take the risk of getting caught. He once more found himself in the alleyway where he and his group hid earlier. It had a perfect view of the mansion.

In Jermaine's line of sight stood the gargantuan looking home. The mansion was decorated in the classic Victorian style Gothic architecture; with few twists. The dark gloomy mansion taunted Jermaine with its extreme fortitude. The mansion was simple in structure, possessing three large cone shaped pillars which rested on a well decorated box which was stacked upon others. It was constructed in a way that wasn't awkward, blending in well and possessing large windows. Actually, the beauty of the home was that it was so well guarded. Upon each stacked layer there was a different bounty hunter which rested with snipers in hand. The windows were actually a very durable material, and so was the home. A top of the cone shaped pillars were what appeared to be small black openings. If the man looked close, he would notice large cannons that seemed to have quite a few technological upgrades to them. The house was surrounded by a field of shrubbery that resembled somewhat of a maze. Some may think it best to sneak through the maze, however this was a clever ploy. The maze was built for intruders to think this way. Inside, was buried landmines, pit falls. Not to mention inside the shrubs ran an various barbed wire which electrocuted and set off an alarm; riddled with metallic plates that had gun automated gun fire. These shrubs concealed everything quite well indeed. The only opening was in front of the house, which possessed a trail right to the front door. If anyone was insane enough to intrude in this way, it would most likely be their funeral.

Jermaine had been in enough dangerous situations to tell that he was in one right now. But the bigger problem was would that stop him? The man didn’t know nor did he care at the moment. He just wanted to steal that cane and get the fuck out of this island. It was annoying enough having to run around the whole day. And the fact that this place was so well guarded now only pissed him off, why couldn’t it be like earlier. Maybe running away wasn’t the best idea at that time. But Jermaine decided that he could stand there waiting his whole life, he had to go and do something. So he did just that. He ran straight through the front door and was met by a countless number of bullets heading his way. He jumped to the right and barely avoided them, having been nicked countless times.

”Can I call for a time out?” The bullet that whizzed past his face told him everything he needed to know. So he ran around screaming as loud as he could. With every bullet he dodged 3 more nipped by close enough to scratch his skin and tear off some clothes. Within two minutes he hardly had anything on, well his underwear was still on cos pg-13. But the rest was off by this point or in taters. Jermaine was beginning to slow down and he knew that much, the cannons were being prepared and he didn’t think he could take a knick from one of those, nor could he fight all these men at once. Especially not with all this weaponry lying around... Maybe he could try hiding, doing this like an assassin. Jermaine ran toward one of the shrubs, and at the moment a bullet grazed his Achilles tendon, ripping it and causing Jermaine to fall over in mid-step. As he fell down he could see something on the ground that horrified him horrible, his eyes opened wide and his life began to flash right before his eyes, before he saw darkness. The guards around the house heard a rather large explosion before red liquid and other bits began to rain down.

The End.
