Ginjo quietly leaned back in his chair as he tinkered with the blade- it had been two weeks since he had agreed to train Gary; and the progress that snail-man had made was rather astounding. Sure he was still a bit quirky and lacked confidence but the growth and improvement was certainly there- at the same time Gin had managed to shake the rust off his body and skillset; and had gotten his edge back. He was still hardly a physical powerhouse like some but he was getting better- that much was for certain, he had Gary to thank for that- if the snail man hadn't of lingered and he had not worked to train with him he would have just gotten weaker in all likelihood.

Slowly he would raise the newly upgraded sword to glint in the light as he stretched and would rise upward- his eyes slowly moving toward the glimmering ceiling as the lights seemed to shift slowly through the darkness of the lab. He wasn't really sure what section of the lab Gary was in- but he knew that their normal training sessions for the day was complete; he pondered if he should get Gary something special to eat for not only sticking with this for two weeks strait- but doing admirably well without any sign of slowing. However before he could even consider this; the sound of an alarm filled the air as he narrowed his eyes- a hand snatching the Den Den Mushi from his laboratory desk.

"The hell is going on?" he asked in a surprisingly calm tone; rising upward as he hoisted the blade over his back and would glance around as the few others in the lab scattered to their positions as the alarm blared and he hit the silence for it. The rotating red lights remained however as the answer came from the other end- "It's Kaine sir! The one you defeated- he's back!" Gin's eyes slowly narrowed, "I decapitated him." "His logia must have saved him, sir! We sighted 'Wasteland' Kaine worth a Hundred Million Beli near the outskirts of Velvet Tip!" Muttering under his breath he rose up; "Scatter! Get the priests into their church and set up a parameter! I'll go with a Battalion to find out what the hell is going on!" "Yes sir!"

Gin would rise up and move into the main hallway- calling in a stern and calm tone; "Gary! Where are you?" Though he was calm, the urgency in his tone was apparent- Gary needed real life experience? This was the best he was going to get. Something was off- he didnt have control over his Haki to damage the man as per normal despite being logia- but his flames from his sword should have meant that the decapitation was completely effective. Things were starting with a boom it seemed- he wasn't entirely certain what the hell was going on but he knew he needed to get there with Gary and a few others he trusted to find out what was happening.

Gary was in the toilet. No “in” in the sense that he had climbed inside the bowl, though he could have relatively easily with his singular slimy foot and squishy mucus body, nor was he on the toiled taking a poop because lets face it who even knew how snails did that anyway. He was simply in a room with a toilet, for the sole purpose of using it’s mirror, the purpose of this mirror currently was reflecting, and what it was reflecting was one bad-ass mother of a jive turkey, he pulled his meanest face while flexing the newly formed ping pong balls that sprouted from his biceps, ping pong balls he had been repeatedly assured were in fact not tumors but muscle, he had goddamn muscle definition. That’s right he was a man, no longer a snail man…no he was something more, something evolved, he….was….A MAN SNAIL!

If he’d had a beer he would have sipped it, and if he knew what facial hair was he would have grown it, but as is since neither of those were options he simply opted for flexing privately when no one was around to see it, except that mirror, and baby was she loving what she saw. That’s right, he was all that and a bag of chips.

It had not been an easy couple of weeks, he’d come here not even knowing the real meaning of physical exercise, no more comfortable outside a dark dingy lab than he would have been sat in a volcano. But now he felt like he could do anything, go anywhere, take on any challenge. He had set out to do something and not given up till he’d done it….or well at least begun to do it, but damn if that wasn’t something to be proud of. Though it seemed his period indulging in calm self admiration was going to come to an end prematurely, or perhaps exactly when it should considering the sheer amount of time he’d spent staring at himself pulling poses. The sound of Gin’s voice echoed down the hallway, which was odd because as far as he knew they were done for the day, but if he was being summoned then that was irrelevant. ”Hello?!? What’s going on?” curiosity rife in his tone as he struggled to sift through his thoughts to assure himself he’d not messed anything up and wasn’t walking to his own berating.

Watching the snail man exit the bathroom he didn't really feel surprised- it seemed likely that he was not really doing what one would normally do there ether. Knowing Gary it was something a bit more abnormal. None the less as Gary came forward he would stretch and start to crack his fingers and neck as he explained; "You're going to get your first life experience dealing with Grand Line Threats." He stated simply as he moved forward and tucked his hands into his pockets- raising a hand for the snail-man to follow as he moved toward the main entrance of the laboratory to the main elevator as the doctors dashed about to get medical equipment ready for when the injured returned.

As he entered the elevator he would rise slowly with the snail-man to the fourth floor of the base; the battalion center where he would watch the door slid open and take the Den Den off the wall- "Status." He stated simply as the answer came back swiftly, "We've quarantine off Velvet Tip and gotten everyone but a small group of priests out! They refuse to leave their church." He internally sighed; he could respect wanting to die for your religion but this was hardly the time to respect and instead wanted to just call them idiotic. "Alright. Maintain it and wait- we can't risk him getting out. We'll try to keep them safe when we go in." "Yes sir!" Hanging it up he turned and eyed Gary a moment.

"What do you know about Devil Fruits, Gary?" He asked simply as he motioned for the snail-man to follow him, heading toward the main center where there was already a company of fifty men getting weaponry, uniform, and so forth ready. He stretched as he watched them prepare and focused on the snail-man for his answer, they were in a hurry but they had time while they waited on their men. After all charging in with his men unprepared and without proper weaponry and protection was just asking for them to die; he had to be smart about this. He won the fight with Kaine by the skin of his teeth- and if he was still alive that meant he hadn't even actually won.

”M-m-m-me?” gary stammered, looking around expectantly, sure he’d see someone else stood at his back, the real target of the statement. Sure he had put his heart and soul into getting stronger these last few weeks, but still the idea that he’d be going after real big bad criminals, it seemed a figment of imagination, the kind of thing that happened only in fantasized scenario’s where he was the hero. Sure he had managed to quell that pirate rabble back in the blues, but that was different, after hearing about what criminal activities were like in the grand line he was starting to believe he was way out of his depth, and with good reason too, people were strong here and scary. And if you were super unlucky they had those crazy haki abilities, no no, he didn’t much think he wanted to tangle with them, or more to the point wasn’t ready to and survive.

However, this time he had gin with him, and a squadron of marines, he wasn’t alone any more. So if there was ever a time to dip his toe in the water now was definitely it with the highest chance of survival. Following the larger man’s lead the pair headed down the corridor while the former spoke through comms to his officers on the other side. It sounded pretty serious whatever was happening, made him wonder what they could want with a liability like himself. ”Um, uhhh, not very much at all, except that they taste gross” he’d heard talk of them being rare and expensive on the black market, but it was always by drunken thugs, degenerate morons by all standards and the same arseholes who had spent most his life bullying him. He wasn’t interested in their conversations, only in watching their habits, finding their weaknesses so that when he had his revenge, and oh yes he would have his revenge!!! It was swift seamless and struck critically.

Wait, he’d ended up entirely off tangent, and left with a somewhat demented grin on his face that had no place in their current conversation, yeh so anyways the point was he didn’t know much about devil fruits, that about sums it up right?

Ginjo arched a brow as Gary followed along and seemed confused at the idea of actually being called on- despite the fact he had been training for this very reason. Though to be fair; he was fairly confident it was just how Gary was as a whole- he was getting used to it; but he knew the snail-man definitely had a murderous streak to him. He just needed to try and get that streak to come outward and combine with his normal personality- if he could do that Gary would have a solid warriors personality as well as a scientists. It was just buried over likely years of emotional and mental abuse. It would come later- they had a much larger issue at hand for the moment.

As Gary denied any real knowledge over the Devil Fruits he nodded. "Basically their fruits that grant superhuman abilities. There's some science behind it- but in the end it's very mystical alot like Haki. The one that he ate let's him transform his body into sand; and endlessly produce it. It's a pain in the ass and without Seastone, Haki, or something that effects Sand Naturally you can't hurt him unless you catch him off-guard. Thankfully." He jerked a thumb as his blade, "I can hurt him with this. You and the other soldiers will be there for support- and to handle any friends he has ... these types never hang out alone. Sadly." He muttered the last bit before he glanced at the soldiers that had formed ranks and were awaiting orders.

"Alright. Kaine survived somehow- there's a dozen ways it's possible so we can't assume something. But as you all know he was a hundred million. There's no way any of you will be able to take him; if you see him run and yell like death is behind you. It probably is." They nodded warily as he glanced around to make sure it was clear before nodding- "We have a barricade up trapping him in Velvet Tip but that's still a wide area. He may have allies as well. Standard formation with me at the front- stay together. Move out." he stated firmly before turning and motioning for Gary to follow as he pushed the button- the large door opening as the smoking Velvet Tip was visible from the base.

”Huh” gary affirmed, half curious half bemused. Honestly it sounded a long way past believable but after having seen haki with his own eyes it was hard to dispute it as at least possible if nothing else. That said the idea that he was about to go and confront a person with these absurd supernatural abilities did not sit well in his stomach, in fact because of it nothing sat well in his stomach, he felt as though he’d swallowed an entire swarm of butterflies, all jittering about his gut.

But he had not been training this hard and long just to be taken out by fear now, no matter the situation this was where he stepped up, and confronted it like the man snail he was. ”Got it, stay back and provide support, can do!” saluting after confirming the directive despite not actually being a marine. He didn’t really know how these things were supposed to work, and was likely doing it terribly wrong but no one seemed to stop him so for now at least it appeared to be ok. An audible gulp sounded from the snail man’s throat as the bounty was revealed. A hundred million, a hundred fucking million, WAS THIS GUY FUCKING INSTANE?!?!? The last pirate he beat up was worth 10 million and he had nearly died, the end, el finito, la meurte, gonzo! How the hell was he supposed to stay near a man who turned in to sand and did it well enough to wrack up 100 million bounty.

There was some comfort in the thought that gin had squared off this this guy before and survived it but that didn’t entirely offset the terrifying prospect of being in the vicinity while they went for round 2. No, breathe, just breath, it was going to be fine. In through the nose, out through the mouth, he could do this. Especially with gin with him, teacher was strong, he coult totally survive this…..probably….maybe? Oh lord, he had better start making his peace now.

As Gary seemed to go through his normal mood swings and expressions, Gin simply patted him on the back and stated simply- "You'll be fine, Gary. I promise." Despite his rather bored tone, his eyes were hardened and firm- he wasn't going to let another die. He refused. After a moment be broke the eye contact as he looked toward the Town and moved forward- listening to the march behind him as he felt the Den Den Ringing once more as he arched a brow slowly and raised a hand to it. "Report." He stated simply as they moved at their top-speed as a group, the answer was quickly batted out followed by Gun-Fire as another explosion burst from the village and Gin narrowed his eyes.

"A new Rookie huh ... Gary! Sanchez!" The Marine on his left, and Gary at his right- the marine raised a hand as he moved. "Sir?" "The Thirty Million Rookie "Calico Jack" and his crew are assisting the bastard- they probably made a deal to get him off the island to re-start their slave trade. Take the men and cut him off- he's on the northern side of the down by the docks. I'll go South and Head-Off that sand bastard!" He then focused on the snail-man, "Gary they'll need your help. Sanchez is pretty strong but he can't handle him by himself, the men can handle his crew- but you have to provide fire support to beat Jack. You can do this; I believe in you. Just follow Sanchez's lead."

He offered a simple smile, before he turned and narrowed his eyes. "I'm coming for you- you son of a bitch ..." Kicking once, it seemed like he just jumped once with alot of force; until the shockwave hit and Gin literally just dashed across the air- each hard kick pushing him forward as the Marines stared a moment in shock- before turning and following after Gary and Sanches wherever they may lead. Gin's feet clashing off the air propelled him forward through the air, heading toward the southern edge of town where he saw the rising sandstorm that was making it's way toward the north- clicking his blade as flames burst from his blade and he grinned slowly.

Meanwhile, Sanches simply motioned for Gary to follow as he offered a quick handshake before drawing out twin Pistols with attached blades. "Pleasure to meet you, sir! Jack is a Devil Fruit User, he ate some weird paramecia- it provides camouflage, he's an assassin-type. He's not invisible though- so we can manage!" He moved forward with Gary- heading toward the large ship that had "docked" by slamming into the said docks with a large steel battering ram and bridge lowered from the top onto it. Where a clash of Marines and Pirates were initiating as they spoke and moved toward the scene- the clash of Gin and Kaine to the South, and here in the North.

Gary found himself a little reassured by gin’s promise that he would be fine, of course they were only words, but they were his teachers words and that meant something. Maybe he was being over dramatic, after all he’d spent two weeks here and they had not been for nothing, not to mention if anyone knew what he was capable of it was that guy, sometimes maybe even better than he himself did, and he’d never send him to do something he couldn’t accomplish. From the sounds of thing though his luck was in, there was another pirate, on the entire other side of the island from the sand man. And while his bounty was a pretty petrifying 30 million it wasn’t nearly as bad as the man 3 times that. Finally his chest loosened up and he felt like he could breath better, that was until he remembered this guy he would be fighting alone. Ohh man it just wasn’t his day at all.

”Captain jack, gotit, I’ll make sure we can put him down for good” he said with more confidence than he felt he actually possessed, but somehow that meager ember of empowerment was kindled to a full fledge blaze when gin told him he believed in him. No one had ever told him that, about anything, in fact he wasn’t sure he’d ever received a compliment at all that equated. His chest swelled with pride, confidence overflowing, a final solitary nod of understanding that each would go to their task and come back successful not matter what it took.

And with that gin decided he was going to fly away, because why not, for a guy that can see the future what difference does walking on air make? IS THIS GUY FUCKING SEA-SUS?!?! Now was no time to be blown away, though had it been gary’s reaction would have been really rather appropriate, for the moment though he was snared by the voice of one of the marines who was apparently to be going with him, the pair leading the squad towards the area being assaulted by the pirate menace.

Sir? Him sir? Well that was new, at some point they would surely really what a scrawny incompetent he was and that would end, better soak it up all he could while it lasted. Just his luck the guy would have one of these magical fruit’s and from the sound of things it was a pretty scary one, gary found himself with enough trouble hitting targets he could see without them being invisible to boot. The attack was vicious, pirates ship rammed into the docks with the gangplank thrown down atop it and bodies pouring off. ”ALRIGHT LETS ‘AV IT YOU LILY LIVERED CUM GUZZLERS” andrenaline flooding his veins as he saw the enemy before him, he was gonna blow them to pieces, tear them to fucking shreds, no pirates leaves alive, this is a motherfucking massacre!! In the spirit of such intentions he had his guns extend and protrude from his shell aiming for the ship itself as bodies streamed off it, with a target that big the drop in aim would be markedly less of a problem. ”BURN IN HELL SHIT SIPPERS!!!!!” Using the elevated inland before going directly down onto the docks and beach below he aimed for his target before unleashing the full force of his barrage with a spittle flinging snarl, raining an assortment of shells of the vessel and it’s occupants below.

OOC Note to Grader

The bursts of Gin's feet against the air as he shot through it thundered above the soldiers and pirates that clashed; Gin had a far more intent focus. No one else could handle Kaine right now- if he couldn't stop him, kill him- for certain this time? Then nothing would work; Gary would die, so would his men, and likely many civilians would be slaughtered and taken in to slavery. His eyes hardened as he watched the sandstorm flying through the air; "You aren't getting away- Kaine!" He snarled as he raised the blade upward over his head, a click of the blade causing the air itself to begin to glow as the blade started to turn a glowing red hue.

"I'll end this here and now ...!" He murmured before he spun through the air before the super-heated blade burst into crimson, blue, and white flames that he released as he shot toward the sandstorm. Kaine had killed Kendric. He had killed Raven. He wasn't going to let this son of a bitch get away if it was the last thing he did; remembering their faces- smiling as they trusted him with their lives. Assumed he would protect him, it caused his eyes to narrow as suddenly from him came a massive blast of weight- that caused all of the pirates to fall with a thud; the marines left uneffected as he specifically left them alone- his rage redoubled as they fell to the weight.

The same pressure slammed into Kaine in his Sandstorm-form, as at the same time Gin raised the blade and released a powerful downward swing from the super-heated blade aiming at the center of the sandstorm. "KAAINE!" He roared as the flames exploded outward, powered by the gasoline and heat as well as flame dial that exploded on-impact with the sands, relying on the power of his momentum from his airborne-charge combined with his power of the King to weaken him at the same time. He hoped to force Kaine downward into the earth- even if the blow didn't slice him open with a red hot blade, if Kaine defended he wanted to at least send the weakened man slamming into the earth to even the playing field a bit.

Meanwhile- as the force from Gin rippled outward and all of the mooks fell over on their faces, "Jack" was suddenly revealed as he was the only one still standing. She made a face at the weight that the Kings pressure put on her and muttered as she tried to shrug the feeling off and slowly her gave found the battalion of soldiers- as well as the psychotic snail-man and Sanches. "... Hm. Well this isn't very fair ..." She pondered to herself before she slowly smiled as she raised a hand, and tossed something into the air- "This should even the scores a bit~" She stated in a sing-song tone before a burst of black smoke flooded the area- and suddenly she disappeared into it as she shifted into her camouflaged form.

Kaine noted with keen distaste the sensation of his body becoming dull and heavy under the weight of invisible force. He’d know this turd would appear in the punch bowl sooner or later, what he hadn’t known was just how much he would despise the sight of him. This was of course all for his benefit, wreak a little havoc, wait for the self proclaimed hero to come and save the day and sever head from body as he had tried to do to him not so long ago. But while it had seemed a simple efficient and clean cut plan the very sight of the man’s face was enough to have acrid bile rise in the back of his throat and the last thing he needed in this fight was thoughts clouded by anger.

The cloud of sand split as the blade carved down it, rejoining in the wake of the path it carved before, reforming into a solid mass that tumbled through a backflip and landed skidding on the ground below. ”to try and slice me in two a second time, right from the outset. You really are an arrogant bastard aren’t you.” spitting on the ground in emphasis of his words. Flicking his wrists the chains around them uncoiled snaking they way up toward the man whose feet were occupied keeping him aloft and giving chase in an attempt to coil before being yanked taught in an effort to slam him into the ground below, that bastard already had a lofty enough opinion of himself without allowing him to lord over this fight from above.

techs





Gary sprayed the ground below with a hail of gunfire and while it whiltled down at their numbers to make it easier for the men with him it did little to tackle the real problem, a problem that made itself soon known as one of the bodies down below tossed a small object skyward that exploded into a thick black smog filling the air and spreading toward gary’s position too despite his being a ways from the battlefield. Very soon he was eclipsed in total darkness, the air thick with blackened soot clouding his side of even his own body let alone those of anyone else with him.

In anticipation of the clouds arrival he’d ceased his fire, there was no point to his bombardment if it ended up doing more damage to his own side, but now he was in a ridiculously disadvantageous positon. He was fighting an opponent who could disguise themselves with both ease and obscene effectiveness while enshrouded in the perfect cover for it. This was no good at all, he needed to disperse it, needed to regain light once more.

Looking around himself for some clue as to where to go next he considered his options, but rapidly realized it was pointless, he was at a complete disadvantage here, so what was he supposed to do if his foe had taken utter control of the environment? His first instinct was to freak out, scream, cry, shout, howl, something, anything that made gin come back and save him. But that was pointless, that wasn’t the kind of behavior he’d spent these two weeks to foster, no there was an awnser here somewhere. He was entirely incapacitated, his greatest asset was his arsenal and as long as he was here he was a sitting duck unable to make use of it, so his only option was…..was…to stop being here? As soon as he thought about it it made so much sense he was kicking himself, there was clearly one thing he could do better than any pirate here, no matter what kind of smoke bombs they had. Retracting his weapons he tucked his body into his shell and lurched forward, beginning a steady tumble down the hill and towards the beach. He didn’t need to be able to see, he already knew the sea was straight ahead, if he got to the water this fucklet would have a much harder time sneaking up on him.

Gin's eyes narrowed as the sand re-formed around the blade as he flipped out of range- the swing of his blades momentum spun him-mid air and caused both feet to point into the sky as the chains shot out- he instead of trying to out-maneuver them, noted the difference in their speed- though Karine was certainly more powerful and durable considering how easily he shrugged off his Haki; he was still faster and more agile. He just had to not get hit; and he should be able to win. In theory at least. Narrowing his eyes as his feet were pointed up instead of dodging to the side to avoid the incoming chains Gin kicked off the air once and shot toward the main like a missile- blade still exploding into flame.

Even if he was physically stronger- Gin could deal damage just as well with his blade; he just had to land a solid hit with it and he'd burn strait through that bastards logia form. This thought is what propelled him as Gin's kick shot him like a missile of flesh and flame toward the man as he didn't even bother answering Kaine- talking would only distract him. He had to ensure that he won this or they'd all die. This thought propelled him as he blasted toward Kaine and aimed the burning, flame and heat dial-enhanced blade to impale the Logia user strait through his chest from the downward shot. However it appeared to be a feint, as in the same motion the blade instead shot out to counter the right hand he knew would likely come at him.

He remembered from the fight- those chains were nasty, but the effect of his right hand was the true devil. The ability to just suck away moisture from him was not something he needed in his life right now. Narrowing his eyes he extended his Haki outward- using it to gauge how the man was going to counter, as his own blade shot out in an attempt to remove his hand after the feint at his chest as his feet slammed into the ground in-front of the logia user. He needed to keep his mobility and speed advantage- he knew that Kaine didn't have Haki- though it was a possible reason that he survived; it wouldn't be that strong if it only awakened a few weeks ago.

Meanwhile- unaware of her new employers current troubles, Jack was busy with a smirk on her face as she watched the Snail-Man try to process- in truth she hadn't moved an inch. Instead she had simply waited and watched as she kept a hand in her pouch where she waited for the young snail-man or the white haired marine that also was waiting for movement or sound to make a move. The snail-man seemed to make up his mind to get into the water or near it- as a Devil Fruit user this posed an obvious problem but it also meant that it left the others open. A cruel grin spread the girls lips.

Quietly she seemed to just cease to exist between her fruit and her own skill as an assassin, she drew out the slim bomb and waited patiently until Sanches was spinning after hearing her breath by his ear to murmur. "Boom~" She cooed into the ear of the man; before the bomb appeared- and exploded a moment later as she disappeared in a Soru with a demented giggle- as Gary moved, the bomb took out the entire section of the building as well as the road, the marines flying in every direction- Sanchez was surprisingly still alive, but completely downed. Blood rolling from all orifices as the marines broke rank and basically had nowhere to go as the dancing girl snickered.

Coming to a halt she watched the Fishman and narrowed her eyes- "Now that you don't have you buddies this'll be easy ..." She murmured cockily as she flickered once more in a Soru as she once more disappeared into her camouflage right as Gary his the waters edge and she tutted under her breath. Now she was at a disadvantage- and the her shimmering would once more give her away as she was mid-movement if Gary's eyes were keen enough to note the distortion within the air.

As gary tumbled away he was hit by a blast that rattled his very ear drums, sent shockwaves through every fibre of his musculature, and left flame and ash licking at his foot as he rolled. The sound came from near by where he had been stood just moments ago and the sounds of pained cries told him the marines that had come with him had been caught in the blast. Instantly a pang of guilt set thick in his stomach, he had not for even a moment considered their safety. Upon departing for here of course they had been along side each other but he’d thought himself nothing but support, they the main offense while he was just there to provide back up. But that wasn’t it at all, that wasn’t nearly enough. He was supposed to be doing everything he could to protect them while at it, to ensure they came back home in one piece just like he wanted too, and already he was failing gratuitously.

No, that wasn’t ok at all. He needed to take care of this person and get back to them as soon as he could, the longer they were left seared and scarred the less chance there was anything could be done for them, from here on in he really was racing against the clock. A subtle splash announced his arrival at the waters edge, and with the sea at his back there was only one direction he needed to focus. Ahead. Mechanical clicks and whirrs sounded as his shotgun popped up from his hind quarters and readied to take aim. Taking in each hand a small sphere from his repository his eyes searched keenly against the darkness, unsure he’d managed to find anything of note until finally he saw it, a slight shimmer against the grainy blackness, not even entirely human in it’s shape but the only thing that didn’t quite fit. Clenching down on the first of the two devices he tossed it in the direction of the distortion, closing his eyes as a blinding flash illuminated the area, aiding him in disguising the path of the second sphere tossed after it, this one erupting into a shower of shrapnel that clinked and clunked against his shell as he used it to make himself as small a target as possible.

Shotgun at the ready he awaited any aid provided by the flash and frag grenade combination, and when and if it came he’d fire at whatever it revealed with his shotgun, it’s wide spread giving him the best chance of tagging the bastard, and limited range helping avoid collateral damage.

Kains chains twisted and writhed like serpents through the air but they were able to latch on to naught, the marine jettisoning himself down toward the pirate of his own accord. Sand gushed from the man’s lower half as he shot himself skyward to meet the oncoming pirate, he shot down toward him like a javelin, closing the gap was exactly what he wished for, a distance where the advantage in speed would be less of a problem.

When they met the blade ran him through, or appeared to in the very least, sweltering heats kept just barely at bay, his inner arm and side dyed black as night having let the weapon slip through the crease of his arm pit, though not enough to avoid a searching scorch trailed across his ribs. Locking his arm in tight as he could he attempted to hold the marine in place, chains wrapping to coil around his body and pin him as he did so, before spewing forth a scathing shower of sand into his face

Gin felt the connection of the blade as the man shot toward him; but his Haki let him realize it was not actually hitting him- he could feel the musculature of the man constricting and his eyes narrowed- so he wanted a battle of strength? Fine. His eyes narrowed as his Haki continued to maintain it's premonition- allowing him to perfectly time it as the man had him close as Gin felt comfortable, before a press of a button on the hilt of his blade caused a whirling noise to fill the air. He smirked as his Haki burst upward and covered him- protecting him from the sudden point-blank explosion of pure flame and heat in the grasp of the logia-user.

Gin's armor did not have a hardening color- instead it was an invisible barrier he wrapped around himself and placed between him and the explosion. He replied on the blast to burn and possibly send the Logia backward as he would use the explosion to possibly harm the sand-man; but far more importantly to use it to leap backwards to create a gap between them once more. The barrage of sand blasting into him at the same time as he released the explosion caused the sand to already be severely weakened from having to force their way through ht explosion as well as his Haki armor- the combination allowing him to get away mostly unscathed, though not entirely thanks to the piercing power of the sand he had several nicks on his arms and one across his cheek that dripped blood- he nearly matched the man's stamina however; it didn't effect him.

He was unsure of the complete level of damage that his blade had caused the Logia- though he knew flame and heat could hurt the man and turn him to glass he was not sure how effective it would be through the layer of black Haki. Though from the feeling and the fact he only managed to cover such a small portion told him it was still very premature. Slowly he would continue to work to create distance- keeping the flames at the ready as he warily watched the smoke-cloud he had left behind from the explosion of gas and flames- waiting for whatever came next, he would play to his strengths; counters and defenses. Otherwise this would simply drag out to the point of being practically useless.

Meanwhile- as Gary scattered Jack muttered and shot in pursuit- however her eyes widened a bit as Gary noticed the shimmer of her movements and reacted in a way that surprised her. That bastard of a snail was actually using things similar to her own! As the flash flooded she knew what it was immediately and closed her eyes- however even as she tried to avoid what was likely a follow-up the explosion of shrapnel still flew through the air and nailed her in several spots, drawing blood that caused the shimmer to get a slight red tinge in several area's from the flowing blood- she growled under her breath and then cursed as it gave away her position entirely.

As Gary released the shot from the shotgun she would flicker from existence and re-form a few meters to the side- eyeing the multitude of holes blown through the sand and rock from the shot as her eye twitched. His explosives may be sub-par to her own, but the power of those guns of his would hurt if they hit. They would hurt alot. Taking a single step backward she sheathed the blade as she shimmered back into her camouflage, and instead drew out her pistol at her belt- if he wanted a showdown she'd give him one- quickly enough the gun raised as a single powerful shot exploded from the gun's tip aiming to nail Gary in the chest- not realizing the magnetized snail had a specialty against metal-based assaults.

Read glistened through against a curtain of pitch black, the first sign of his efforts showing fruit. Though she had tried to hide his frag grenade’s scatter was enough to tag her at least, which worked well to give him a target for his shotgun. The ballistic blast hit with a heavy kick back, but it was for naught, one more the shimmering haze flickered, this time out of view, that odd movement that flashed so briefly carrying her out of his bullets path.

Already he could feel a tightness in his throat as their battle heated up, he wasn’t exactly abundant with options and the more he revealed his hand the worse off a position he stumbled into. Not to mention her explosives outclassed his own by leagues so if it came to a battle of the bang’s he was only going to further his handicap, especially as he ate into his reserves of explosives.

He could feel panic creeping in on him, gnawing away at his nerves but now was not the time to succumb to it, he had enough to consider without worrying about himself, she was in here somewhere, all he needed to know was where and half his problems would be taken care off, but that was not something jack seemed to have any intention of making easy.

Eye’s peeled he peered into the darkness, but it all seemed to be the same bland brand of black as night, and then as if from nothingness itself the crack of gunfire erupted. She had shot at him. The only thing he had available to him in this instance he made use of, the first of his improvements to his body made since arriving at the island under gin’s tutelage. Coil buzzing with current he thrust his hands forth, magnetism pulsing outward from his body, he repelled the round with all his might but not before it made it far enough to bury itself half way into his chest, before being catapulted back the way it had come. Along with it he sent another load of buckshot in the same direction, this time it’s velocity enhanced by the magnetic field propelling it. He didn’t know it if would be enough, but he had to at least try making use of everything at his disposal.

Flames exploded to his rear causing kain to burst into a shower of sand that amassed once more and landed with a grating skid against the ground, before gliding back even further to put some distance between them. His clothing smoked and blotchy patches of reddened burnt flesh had appeared on his exposed back. That sword, it really was a pain to deal with, and now the bastard was simply waiting for him to attack. So much good that had done the last time round. Well that was fine, if it was like that there were other ways he could be delt with, there was no reason he had to get caught up in that bastards flow of things.

”that shitty sword, it’s the only reason you’ve survived this long. But I wonder, can you really afford to be so complacent?”

Gritting his teeth in distaste for his opponent the very winds seemed to become still, slamming a hand down upon it the ground trembled and faded beneath foot, pebbled beach, the earth beneath, the grass at the beach’s edge and the tree’s that scattered about it, it all rapidly withered, disintegrating to sand as it was drained of life. But that was not all, the sand itself then sank and began to swirl, rapidly becoming a vortex that sucked in all around it, a vacuum that had appeared in the midst of the marines and was swiftly sucking them into it’s center where it would swallow them all if left unchecked. Some of his own unconcious men were drawn into it’s midst but that kind of collateral damage meant nothing, they were merely slaves by another name, it was a small price to pay to make the marine watch as everyone under his command was extinguished.

Gin would smirk a bit at the sand-man's words; "If it's a shitty sword; and you can't work around it- what's that make you I wonder?" He pondered simply- he noticed how he suddenly switched up his form of attack. He was draining the ground? Narrowing his eyes he leap upward, his observation Haki could tell what was happening- he was focusing on his men. He expected him to hesitate; be caught off guard, go back to try and help them; anything a good man to do. Gin was no longer a good man however- that train had sailed a long time ago. His eyes narrowed and in that split second that Kaine was focused on his men instead of him he disappeared in a Sonido.

He re-appeared behind Kaine and in the same second his sword slammed down with the force to not only slice through the man's Haki; but with tremendous force combined with the raging inferno and red-hot heat. He doubted he would get a death-blow, but even if it just nicked the man it would cause a moderate to serious wound- that's what he aimed for. It wasn't that he didn't care about his men; it was that he was a realist. There was nothing he could do for them, he had nothing in his arsenal that could stop that sand whirlpool- so all he could do was kill the one controlling it. They signed up knowing that they may die; it was cruel but it was life.

He had to take advantage of what they had given him; a chance to kill the man that was killing them- and that is what drove the strike that slashed downward from a vertical blow starting at Kaine's right shoulder and ending at his left buttock- aiming to of course bisect him. However as that was unlikely he was more focused on getting a heavy red-hot burning strike across his back as he narrowed his eyes down at the man that was killing his men. He could do nothing but try to stop him from here- but if it provided a distraction then he would use it to it's fullest extent without any form of hesitation or insecurity.

Meanwhile as Gary deflected the incoming bullet- Jack was a bit confused; and rapidly startled as not only did her bullet fling in another direction without the snail-man seeming to do anything. But he also fired another at her- this time much faster and much more powerful then before as her eyes widened, the bullets showered around her as she shot to the side, not even enough time to perform Soru as she felt one nick her left leg. Cursing as even a slight-hit from something of that power caused an inch deep gash across her leg and made her stumble as the camouflage faded from her lack of focus. "Shit ...!" She hissed, her good leg stamping rapidly as she disappeared in a Soru before Gary could nail her with a direct hit as she re-camouflaged a bit up the beach where she remained still.

She tried to stop the bleeding as she winced and eyed the wound before looking at the snail with re-evaluated measurements. It seemed much like Gin- just because the opponent had the edge in power and ability; the advantage of technology and skill could shift the weight in the fight. It was not a serious injury but it was on a critical muscle. Narrowing her eyes she tossed the gun- it was obviously useless, and instead tried for a more direct approach- shooting forward she dashed toward Gary- the shimmer now painfully apparent as her speed was hampered by her injury- twin blades flipping from her sleeves as she tried to instead nail a direct hit against the snail-man; not realizing that it wasn't just bullets his defense could effect and repel.
