Ginjo watched as Djazz tapped along the ground lightly and didn't seem to be to confused what he was doing- after all Djazz had already commented once that he would be running a level of sensory on the earth first to best cut into it. Instead he watched quietly, waiting as he slowly raised a hand and motioned for his men to hold position as he leap upward into the air, lightly tapping his foot against the air to keep himself airborne as he watched Djazz as well leap into the air. Then he saw it- the shockwaves power and shape were incredibly similar to Rankyaku .. and yet it was far superior, as it became evident.

The edge of the wave sliced it clear open and his eyes narrowed; ".. Step two." He stated calmly as he halted the Geppo; and fell- falling through the air as the rocks caved in and fell with him. Screams bellow signaled they had expected an attack- but not really from above, the yelling of a woman was heard bellow as guns were raised, canons were re-directed, all facing directly toward the man. Of course- then something in the air seemed to change, and Ginjo's eyes slowly narrowed. ".. Go to sleep." He murmured simply as he fell, and a massive pulse of energy flooded from the young man's body as his iris's turned white.

The pulse exploded from him, flooding the area and causing the entire cove filled with three battleships- and numerous pirates in altered jail outfits; to collapse. Their eyes rolling into the backs of their heads, foam slowly flowing from some of their mouths of the weaker wills, and with a slam Ginjo landed on the earth, legs covered in his Haki to absorb the shock as he slowly straitened up with a calm expression. His control over his Haki was obvious- unlike some kings users that were 'newbloods' he had dedicated entire years of his life mastering it after its awakening. Despite the aura's immense range, none of his men- nor Djazz felt the actual effects of the aura, instead only the men of the pirates were collapsed over canons, guns, and so forth unconscious.

Instead the yelling of a red-headed woman at the top was heard, whom was obvious shaken- but very much still conscious. "What the hell was that?! Report you fuckin' layabouts!" Of course there came no answer, as the two left and right hands that were near her struggled back to their feet- obviously much more effected by the Haki then she was as they stared in confusion and fear at the fact the entire small army of their crew had been defeated in an instant. Ginjo slowly cracked his neck as his eyes narrowed on the trio; "It's fine now, Djazz-san .." He called up simply as his hand rose up to the blade on his back- the air seeming to have changed around the young man. His eyes were no longer brilliant blue, but crimson as a red almost demonic glow slowly began to flow off his body.

".. I'll deal with the other two if you think you can handle the woman." He stated simply as he lowered the blade and aimed it carefully at the two men whom had recovered from the Haki, as Gin had ended it shortly after knocking all the mooks out. There was no reason to use it mid combat, it would take up valuable focus and drain his own Haki and stamina to maintain- instead he would deal with them with his own strength. He had confidence that even with her high bounty, Djazz would be able to handle her. The man's old bounty was "only" thirty million; but the power he had given Gin only a glimpse of had proved he was now easily worth five or more times that.

Djazz fell through the roof on the column of the ceiling that he had carved out for himself. It immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the room but it seemed as though Xio was correct in that they were unprepared for such an attack; guarding either the tunnels of the cove exit into the sea. The cove was large, impressively so, like an open cave. There was some ambient light from outside but still there were many torches and camp fires that helped illuminate the more dark cracks and corners of the cove. A few dozen tents had already been placed here; some f which appearing to be stolen while others were manufactured from natural resources. Djazz's quick survey saw countless men, still in their jailer outfits. Did they simply lack access to alternative clothing or were these men choosing to dawn the white and black stripes as some sort of color guard?

In any case, The column collided with the ground and Djazz remained perched on top of it. A few trigger happy or perhaps quick reacting of the mook turned their guns or rifles on him and fired; however only one or two were even aim properly for Djazz to have to both moving his sword to allow the bullets to bounce harmlessly off of the blunt edge of his blade. Unfortunately as each second passed, more men converged on where he was; roaring battle cries as though they were expecting a fight from the beginning. Djazz was both anxious and excited to watch what Xio called 'King's Haki'. So while he would usually take no time to go on the offensive, he remained reserved and patient in his resolve.

As Commander Xio dropped from the ceiling. He murmured something inaudible before a palpable force radiated outwards. Djazz narrowed his eyes as he attempted to grasp the nature of this force; it was otherworldly in some ways, in that he could not physically feel it nor were his senses triggered in any way, yet it was still quite pervasive. It was only moments later that the enemy forces dropped like flies in their place. Not necessarily all at once but as though intoxicated they lost function and merely passed out, falling limp to the ground. What had started out as the roars of men ready to fight for their freedom had been lulled into near silence.

Djazz stood upright, dropping his guard momentarily in awe of what he had just witnessed. What was also surprising is that this was something that he could control to some extent, as he could do it at will, but also Djazz was excluded from the effects of the incapacitating attack, "Wow... that easy...?" He said to himself. It was as though he had fought an entire battle by himself and not raised a finger, "Color me impressed... this is nuts." He said, dropping down from the column of earth. As he dropped down to rejoin Xio he had to regain his composure as well; as there were obviously few among them that were still conscious. It seemed as though these were the stronger lot that he had referred to earlier.... they were sluggish, or startled or both, but still conscious. Perhaps this King's Haki only worked on those who were weaker to come capacity but could be endured with the proper strength.

Nodding at the proposition of taking on the woman, Djazz inquired, "[color=gold[So do we have a time limit...? I mean, how long will these guys stay out cold like this?[/color]" He said. He imagined they would have to finish the battle before the mooks woke up and with time enough for the marines to come in and apprehend all of them.

Gin chuckled softly as the red aura flickered around him as the blade clicked in his palm. "I dunno if I'd say easy .. it took me a very long time to get it to this point." He murmured simply before he stepped forward. "Several years after awakening it. Dad taught me the basics and I had to teach myself from there." He pondered quietly- tapping the blade against his shoulder lightly before slowly raising a hand and pointing at the two whom narrowed their eyes, getting over the shock as they shifted position a bit against him to prepare. "It doesn't last forever, no." He answered with a nod as the blade slowly lowered and the tip pointed at the earth in-between the pair calmly.

"Essentially it lasts as long as my natural willpower can override their peaked willpower. Some of them may get up earlier than others, and some may remain unconscious for the next few hours- it's hard to say. The safest course of action is to end this as soon as possible without destroying to much of the surroundings." He explained as he slowly raised the edge and grinned slowly- ".. Though that'll be difficult with Ryuu and your swings I'm sure." He pondered before he suddenly flickered from existence once more- of course with that said they pair were still not about to just lay down and die. Both flickered back as well to avoid him and shifted their physical forms as they did.

This revealed them as the pair Gin knew of- the Twin Wolves. Both held canine zoans, one dark black and one snow white. They had both been quite well known rookie dual-captains of their crew when they had been on the sea's, slowly Gin's eyes narrowed. "I suppose the information wasn't entirely accurate .. your bounties aren't even close to the level of physical ability you just showed .." He murmured, slowly rising as he looked at the pair and clicked the blade with a sigh. "This'll be far harder than I thought .. I suppose being in Jail with nothing to do but brawl with one another constantly just made you stronger." He sucked his teeth in annoyance and shifted his footing, preparing for their attack.



A soft laugh filled the air as the young woman's eyes narrowed on Gin as he took off; "Hooo~ We've been underestimated it seem's .. we spent years in prison, pretending to be weak so we weren't sent to Impel Down. Broken spirits and all while we did nothing but train to break out. Don't underestimate us!" She cracked her knuckles as she looked down slowly toward Djazz. "So I get to play with you hmm? .. Not really my type, but I guess you'll do." A soft giggle spilt from her lips as she slowly leaned forward from her perch. "I don't know what your little blonde buddy did to my men .. but if its not permanent then thats fine. I'll just kick your asses and be done with it!"

With that, she shifted and suddenly kicked off from the wooden dock- and the result would likely immediately throw up a red flag. The woman had no technique, no finesse or skill, but she had one thing and that was for certain- sheer physical power and speed. She released a single powerful kick and it sent her blasting forward at top-speeds to re-appear in front of the man, swinging a powerful upper-hook aimed at Djazz's face, the backlash of its force enough to cause a small point-blank shockwave atop the immense physical force behind the punch itself. "LET'S DANCE KIDDO!" She cackled gleefully as if excited to finally be able to use her power again for the first time in ages after being locked up and having to work in semi-quiet under her new captain.

The grand line was full of surprises and one would think that he would have eventually gotten used to them by now, however the novelty never really wore off whenever something happened that left him awe. It seemed of those that were left, a powerful woman stepped forward. He was expecting someone moderately strong and reasonably capable for a person locked up on the first island of this route, but dear lord, when she stepped forward it was as though he was looking at Kamina all over again! Her super human strength and speed was nothing to be taken light of, even as he spoke rather casually, "Yeah... with my dark skin I tend to get that a lot. I am not many people's type..." He said in response to her sly yet flirtatious remark. Realizing that the haki technique couldn't last forever, he was originally going to play with this woman until Gin was finished and then end things decisively. However, whatever training they did in jail must have paid off because this was one he wasn't going to be able to take lightly.

"Linda Silvers right..?" he said, recalling her name from the briefing earlier as the shot forward an attacked him. Though he only had a moment to react, it seemed nothing more than a brilliantly strong lunging punch. Djazz's natural reaction was to raise his blade, reinforcing the hold by placing his left hand against the blunt edge of the back of his sword. If the woman's punch continued, he would literally be punching her own fist against the edge of the sword and splitting her hand in half! Of course, the shockwave that resulted from the punch hit first. Djazz, holding his ground as he braced for the impact, skid across the ground on his heels several dozen feet from the blow. Djazz was going to make a comment about enjoying dancing, but stammering form the force of the attack, was unable to muster something witty enough to say out loud.

"Damnit..." Djazz cursed at himself. He was on the edge of what would be his own personal evolution however without having perfect the corner stone of his new techniques he was woefully underprepared to handle someone with strength and speed of this level. A grin slowly crept across his face as he gathered himself and stepped forward, "You'll make a good catalyst... going all out against you will push me over the 'edge'. This will be my last fight as I currently am." he said. This was exactly what he needed to push him to the next level!

Jumping forward, he dashed back at the woman, closing the distance before pulling his sword to drag along the ground next to him, making a clawing noise as the metal grinded over the stone floor of the cove. Whipping the sword up violently he slashed at the woman in a diagonal motion from right-to-left across her person, but also relinquished a shockwave of his own, whipping his wrist at last moment to send a torrent of force cascading along the ground. The curve of it's trajectory would be so that as the woman went to defend herself from his sword, the shockwave would spin about and collide with her back side.

In short, Djazz released a shockwave to act as a boomerang while slashing at her, and she would now have two attacks in one to defend herself from...

----------

The two wolf incarnate brothers skulked around in a circle. As the wolf motive would imply, they were used to hunting in packs, and had mastered many tactics that capitalized on team work and combinations of attacks. They circled around Gin with one walking around more quickly than the other as to surround him; though they were in their hybrid forms they moved on all fours like real animals. It was hard to tell whether these were humans with wolf zoans or wolves with human zoans...

They didn't speak, at least not right away, but began to growl with a feral intent. When they were both on adjacent sides of Gin, the attacked; one of them would be in his blind spot, and as he moved to defend against one of them, the other would move to stay directly behind him. There was a sort of poetic 'yin-yang' relationship to the black and white mutt-mutt duo's movement. Lashing out with their claws, Gin would have to hustle to defend himself. Trying to run away would only leave his back exposed and trying to stop one would leave him open to the other.

What would the Commander do to fend off these wolves?

Ginjo slowly shifted backwards; noting their teamwork as his eyes narrowed slowly. They were quite fast, one was about as fast as he was- the other however he noted with the grace and speed of his movements was likely a step or two ahead of him in speed. That would normally be an issue, however his Haki gave him a key edge as he slowly narrowed his eyes and his premonition flickered into being, filling his mind as he reached out to the pair and carefully waited as his blade shifted from a Kendo stance into a more western styled stance using the blade with one hand while the other slowly opened at the palm at his side. "I see .. you two are disturbingly in-tune with one another. My compliments."

He murmured simply before the blade in his palm clicked suddenly, as the two wolves lunged at him his response was simple but effective- on one side the faster wolf charged him and he dealt with it simply. His premonition allowed him to envision the movements of the faster wolf, though he was still not quite fast enough to keep up it was easier for him to react in time as the blade flickered upward and appeared to be counter-attacking the white mutt, but he should know he was not fast enough to do so. The plan was revealed as the blades tip likely missed the white wolves face entirely- and as it was right next to its face instead his smile slowly grew as he heard the snapping of the black wolf behind him.

With a twitch of his wrist, there was a split-second hiss from his sword- before suddenly gas, flames and heat exploded from the sword point-blank into the wolves face. Gin's eyes narrowing as he grasped the blade and ripped it backwards, the explosion of flames, white-hot heat, and gas filled the air right by the wolves face. Whether he was able to avoid it or not was to be decided, but Gin knew at the least it would likely blow the wolves attack off-course. This left the black wolf- and at the same time he had ignited his blade with one hand, his free hand had risen and lashed out backwards- the wolf had claws but they were not iron or metal. They would hurt, not tear him to bits.

This thought in mind allowed him to use his premonition and haki to release a powerful backhand to slam into the incoming wolf's snapping snout, turning his body with the blow as his arm bent at the elbow to deflect the incoming strikes with narrowed eyes. This of course ended with both his arms points in opposite directions each facing a separate wolf in a different way as he kept both in his peripheral vision and haki's range, one holding the flaming blade aimed at the wolf and the other bent at the elbow likely still holding back the wolves physical attack. He narrowed his eyes as int he same motion of his block and the explosion of the flames, his sword lashing out from its original position in an arch to cleave into the black wolves side with an explosion of heat and fire.

This opened his right flank to the white wolf, but he was hoping the shock of (hopefully) having his face scorched from the blade earlier on the defensive counter would keep him at bay long enough for him to cut down the slower black wolf with his superior strength and immense explosive flame and heat from the swords blow.

Meanwhile, the fight against Djazz was far more interesting. As the young man's sword rose up to guard- Linda's lips curled slowly at the reaction timing; "Very nice .." She pondered wondering if this time the fight would actually be fun! Giggling to herself however, as the man's guard rose her fist turned a dark ebony hue- and kept coming. The shockwave was one thing, and it was nice to note it sent him skidding back a bit- but the true fun was just beginning after all! The iron-hardening that coated her hand protected her to keep going as the shockwave collided, and in the same instance her fist slammed into the blade aiming to send the young dark skinned swordsman reeling backwards from the double-impact.

Slowly she stepped forward once with a wide grin as she clenched her hardened hand, "That was a nice reaction .. maybe you're my type after all, boy~" Licking her lips slowly as she cracked her knuckles and blinked at his words. "Cata-what ..? Edge? What?" She stared a moment and then laughed softly in an almost sing-song tone- "You're a weird one, but you're pretty strong .. don't die to fast ok? I want to enjoy this!" Her lips curled slowly in a grin as she flickered forward and dashed strait toward Djazz as the other man also took off- before her eyes widened at a sudden shocwkave far superior to even her best shockwave flying strait toward her. "N-not bad ..!" She stuttered, because as she flickered to dodge using that same immense speed from before- it went around her.

She blinked in confusion, before her instincts warned her in the back of her mind and her eyes widened- "Shi-!" Of course she didn't get to finish as she spun and she spun, normally this would leave her back wide open to Djazz. But the girl however seemed to have other ideas as her lips curled slowly and she spun, releasing a high-speed shockwave that exploded around her in an orb of energy- the man's shockwave was superior in skill; but her own compared with her own slightly superior physical abilities meant that it guarded from the shockwave and at the same time protected her back with the explosion of air pressure around her.

However it quickly faded as she landed lightly on her heel's and narrowed her eyes- he had put her on the defensive. ".. I'm gonna enjoy this .." She giggled as her lips curled into a wide smile; and she suddenly released a barrage of punches at the air, sending a barrage of shockwaves similar to the previous one at Djazz- normally they would all be rather weak. But the woman's sheer physical power and speed made each one relatively dangerous as they blasted toward Djazz in a storm of air pressure shockwaves the size of her fist. "Come on then, boy! Let's see if you can prove to me you're a man!"

Djazz was surprised to see a 360 sort of defensive technique as the woman turned quickly on her toes and spun into a shockwaves that surrounded her in a sphere of force capable of both repelling him as well as blocking the shockwave he had sent after her. It was apparent that in spite of her over arching strength, she also wasn't fooling around. She was willing to use high skill techniques, such as the use of haki or now this in order to take him on. Djazz wasn't expecting to be taken lightly, but realized that he would have to step up his game as well.

Djazz cringed at her pseudo seductive tone as she spoke, "I'm not sure I want to be your type..." He said earnestly. Apparently she didn't quite understand what he had said earlier about him using her to push himself. He briefly considered explaining but shrugged it off; it didn't much matter what she knew at this point. Her counter attack was soon to come; an needing to take this seriously Djazz tightened his focus, paying closer attention to her. He had saved his observational haki from the warm up with Xio and was refreshed with his new perspective. It was far from perfect, but the light edge it would give him in terms of reaction speed was more than enough.

Her counter attack was a series of shockwaves like the one before. She seemed to be aimlessly boxing at the air, and each thrust was only short wave and marginally as strong as a single focused attack would be. Djazz admittedly had nothing in his arsenal short of sheer defense to handle this. Bounding back he started moving himself; jumping about in a counter clockwise manner to avoid each consecutive shockwave. Gatling attacks commonly lacked precision and control and so he continued running away. Her short range attacks were too limited and she would either have to follow after him or discontinue. He anticipated that she would run after him, when he himself would counter attack.

Was running lame? Perhaps, but a strategic minded individual was well aware that there were far more directions than just 'forward', "I'll prove I'm a man.. if you can prove you're a woman" he said, using his fleeing tactic as time to score valuable come back points with his smack talk.

--------

The two lycanthrope were zoans, and even in their hybrid forms they took on more than just the appearance of canines. In fact, their sense of smell was many times greater than that of a human, and their noses were keen. Even when they were first stalking him, they had already smelled the lingering sent of gasoline that had been absorbed by the blade earlier. And so, when the plume of aerosol gasoline was released into the air, they were both immediately aware of it. In spite of their feral appearance, they were well practiced hunters, and as one brother quickly retreated from the plume of flame, the other retreated as well.

Thus not only did one avoid being burned but the other avoided being back handed. Commander Xio's assumption that because the claws were not made of metal they weren't dangerous was a potentially fatal flaw; however the brother's were patient hunters, as were most predators, and returned to their circle around the man as he waved his sword around and kept his arms spread. The scene looked something similar of a caveman waving his torch around to prevent two feral wolves from attacking him. As soon as the man let his guard down, they would attack once more and by circling him, they would force him to constantly alter his stance in order to keep track of both of the zoans. Oddly enough, neither of them had spoken a word.

This dance was one that was well rehearsed... perhaps they had done more in jail than just beat each other up as the man suggested. Needless to say, Xio was caught in the worlds worst game of monkey in the middle...

Gin was not stupid, as soon as he saw the fact that they both acted in tune even on the Defensive, Gin took advantage of it. This was a great benefit but also a great weakness- and he would treat it as such, as the wolf ran from the backhand and the sword- Gin didn't let up. Disappearing in a flicker as he used his superior speed, the usage of Soru, and his own Haki to see exactly where the black wolf was going to be- before his blade flickered and shot out at high speeds. He knew Zoan's claws tended to be comparable to iron, and as such decided he needed to ensure that his attack would not be hampered by claws trying to guard. The wolf was slightly stronger than he was under normal circumstances, but the immense power of flames, heat, explosions and his technique easily placed an immense difference in power.

His speed was superior and he was using Soru, in his eyes there was no way the wolf would escape unscathed- even if the white wolf whom had retreated away from his sword tried to counter-attack from behind he had his Haki activated, and was willing to take a hit from the wolf to cut down his brother and throw off the combination they had going. If one ran when the other did it meant that the white wolf had to of caused some space to form when they both retreated in opposite directions, his Soru should allow him to close the gap and cut the bastard down. Clicking his blade as the blade swung in from the side as soon as he disappeared and re-appeared with a rapid ten-tap of his foot to the ground, forming from the air in front of the black wolf to cut the beast of a human down brutally.

The click of his blade, his Haki, and his own skill and sword all controlled- releasing a massive shockwave as the blade slashed forward to cut into the wolf's side as he retreated. Aiming to release a red-hot explosive, and burning cut from the black wolf's right shoulder to his right side at the belt, coming in from his right side to essentially cut him wide open from his right side. The explosive flames and heat would seal the wound as soon as he cut, and at the same times roast the body, skin and internals of the cut should it land. The explosive flames causing the range of the slice to increase even further than normal- Gin's eyes narrowed on the black wolf as he kept a key sense of Haki on the far faster and further away white wolf, even if this hit- he knew he likely would pay for it in his own blood.

Linda on the other hand, watched him dance away from her barrage of shockwaves and giggled even wilder to herself- however as he escaped out of range she narrowed her eyes. So he thought he could run away out of range and be safe ..? Her specialty was shockwaves- there was no way! Suddenly as he tried to escape, her muscles flexed- and released another strike. This time far harder than before, the immense force of the blow caused a massive barrage of shockwaves- each that were now the size of a small car as they barraged forward at high speeds. It was true, rapid fire techniques tended to cause less accuracy.

So if that was true- she'd make up for it by releasing larger ones to cover an even wider area and fire them even farther away! Suddenly as Djazz jumped away out of range, right after his comment he would see a barrage of small-car sized, fist-shaped shockwaves blasting toward him at her speed and immense strength as her lips curled wide. "Men don't talk yah' know! They act!" Her eyes seemed to gleam in excitement as the barrage of shockwaves swarmed from her hands- it took minimal effort for her, it let her recover her stamina and focus more on the fight.

It also kept the man at bay- she preferred longer range, it was why she specialized in shockwaves. Even if she was decent at melee it was much funner to blast them away from a distance with nothing but your sheer physical power! What would he do?! Could he counter her shockwaves?! She giggled eagerly- she couldn't wait to see what he would do!

"Jeeze... she sure is having fun..." He said watching her expression as he continued to leap and bound across the campsites of the cove. The shockwaves either continued until they dissipated or hit something and it was already causing quite a mess in terms of her wild disregard for exactly what she was aiming at. While she seemed to be just fine with long distance, Djazz wasn't. Sure he could cut something a quarter of a mile wide but it seemed like such a waste and this cove was a beautiful piece of natural artwork, he didn't want to scratch it up! This woman though, didn't seem to mind and was so caught up into blasting away at everything that she was missing the big picture!

But even as she upped the pressure and began launching a stronger version of her previous technique, Djazz could remain on step ahead of her assault for as long as he kept moving. He wasn't about to be goaded into doing something he didn't want to do, and felt himself becoming more and more disappointed. Here he thought this match would be a testing point for him, but it lacked a certain quality that he required... they just weren't compatible.

As he continued to run, his senses perked up at the roar of fire and the flickering flame in the near background; no doubt Xio and his fancy fire sword hard at work. Trying to keep focused, he doubled back to the lady that continued her barrage; continuing his circle about her as her shockwave barrage continued to destroy everything behind him, "That's it... just a little bit more..." He said as he continued his pace, doing all he could to stay on track and avoid the incoming attacks as well.

His plan wasn't simple, and that is exactly why he figured a simpleton like this lady who got off on wildly throwing punches would find herself easily ensnared in his trap. Earlier when he was tapping at the surface of the roof it would seem as though he was only assessing the quality of the stone in order to cut it. However, this was also in preparation for this battle as well, "I guess that proves it... you do talk a lot!" He shouted back at the woman. Either this was her actual personality to be so excitable by the thrill of battle or her disposition as an ex-prisoner of jail had left her hungry for a fight. Either way, he was going to put all her energy to use and make her do all the hard work for him, whether she knew it or not...

------

The ol' Soru/Attack combination ehh? It was a classic. Whether you're slower or faster or just want to get around quickly, it seemed to be the 'go to' technique, and Xio was using it to close the gap more quickly than the wolves could adjust to keep there perimeter around him! This would give them only a fraction of a moment to react when Commander Xio seemed to disappear from view and reappear to the side of the zoan. As Xio attacked, the wolf instinctively lashed out himself, clawing at the Commander before taking the blow of a fire/heat/explosive swing of his sword. While the lash was one of desperation, it would close the extended range to include Xio himself, meaning not only would he catch the claw of the desperate beast, but would also find himself within range of his own fiery explosion.

Whether his own sword hurt him or not, the other wolf was quick to the aid of his brother (granted they aren't both actually wolf zoans, but some variation that might as well just be wolves, lol). As the black wolf was sent flying by the explosion, the other had already lunged at Xio with both sets of claws. His attack was not some special 'technique' but was more genuinely that of a wild animal lashing out at that which hurt it.

Likely to the wolf's shock, Ginjo did not hesitate even when the claws rose to try and force the explosion on himself as well, his blade lashing out to cut strait through the arm and claws- not caring if it made the explosion cover himself as well. An armor of Haki coated his body, and he simply kept coming and pushing- the blade slamming with the fiery explosion that sent the wolf flying and likely severely injured as the flames and heat over-washed and simply didn't have the power on their own to break his armor. His haki however rang the warning bell as he spun and narrowed his eyes at the incoming attack from behind- raising the flaming blade to catch the incoming claws.

However, in the end the wolf was far faster than he was- and his premonition certainly helped but it was to much a difference for an attack from behind while he was already preoccupied. Narrowing his eyes he decided to minimize the damage, his sword caught one of the pairs of claws- his other hand was forced to catch the other, the wolves claws slamming through his hand as he grit his teeth against the pain- and likely to the wolves shock, his hand slammed down with far superior brute strength to hold the wolf by its own hand that was impaling his. His knowledge as a medic allowing him to have aimed his hand carefully so as to not damage the tendons- only the surrounding flesh.

It hurt like a bitch, but he had been through far worse pain- his hand that lacked fingernails and was covered in torture scar's clenched down, his eyes hardening as the blade that had clashed with his other set of claws roared into life. He didn't say a word, he couldn't waste that energy- instead his blade was sent slashing downward, hard- using his grip on the wolves arm so he couldn't use superior speed to get away, the blades firey explosion was released to cut the wolves arm that was currently clashed with his blade off at the elbow. He didn't care if he suffered some damage to end this- if they were this strong his men didn't stand a chance .. he wouldn't let them escape here, he'd kill them both!

That thought seemed to stir something in Gin, as the red glow returned- an almost demonic aura slowly flowing from him as he snarled with the swing of his sword, entrusting his superior strength and the fact he was holding the wolf in place as the way for the blade to hit. If that meant trading blows- that was fine .. he knew he could take hits and keep on going.

Techniques Used


Meanwhile- while the woman and Djazz played one hell of a dangerous game of dodgeball, her fists continued to blast into the air- releasing strike after strike of massive shockwaves that slammed into the area Djazz had just been as her eyes narrowed. The bastard was using Haki? Slowly her lips curled- "I see .. well two can play at that game!" She clenched her fists as she let out a slow breath; before both hands slammed forward and a massive singular shockwave exploded from her fist- aimed where he was going instead of where he had just been. It was far more accurate, and far more aimed- as if she was predicting his movements as well suddenly.

But that wasn't the end of it- a flicker of another sound like a gunshot filled the air- before she was suddenly right in-front of the man. It wasn't Soru, it was far more simple utilizing sheer power from a single high speed kick off that propelled her like a bullet, and it was effective. The blast of this high speed, combined with her own natural speed, and her premonition allowed her to place herself right where she needed be- as a shockwave covered her limb mid-attack, and swung forward to lariat Djazz as he was mid-dodge. The arm covered in a metallic sheen warned that it was not simply a high-powered blow ether, the shockwave and haki covered limb seemed to roar like a chainsaw- a loud warning that being even grazed could be bad.

"You keep running and running! I thought you were a man?!" She giggled as the blow was thrown at him- keeping the rest of her haki open to be activated as she may need it to guard from a counter-attack from the empowered blow.

Djazz had to immediately change his original plans as he realized that his opponent wasn't going to just stand still as previously assumed. Bummer, he really had something fancy prepared; running a circle around his opponent, letter her destroy everything around her and ultimately weaken the very ground she stood on. A well placed shockwave over rock that had been exposed by the tide of sea water would make a pretty near sinkhole and crush her by the rubble that she created! But her approach to no longer stand back and throw shockwave punches became evident. First he noted that suddenly her attacks were becoming sharper; attacking where he was going to be instead of where he was. The counter feedback of observation haki was a tricky thing to navigate, however when his impulse felt a strong killer intent he braced himself, and for good reason.

The 'boom' of movement propelled her body from one point to another seemingly be force as though a self knock-back technique that she could just throw herself around with. She had used it earlier before and now Djazz was keen to what it was capable of. She used this to close the gap between Djazz and herself, and immediately Djazz was reminded of when Commander Xio had tried to do the exact same thing not too long ago. He held back a smile as he was thankful for their little warm up; having the previous experience was more than enough to prime him for dealing with this encounter.

He felt the sense of immediate danger in the form of her lariat, or as he knew it, a 'close line'. While the woman seemed perfectly comfortable at range, she was no in Djazz's preferred range of attack. It was no doubt another close range shockwave, however he raised his sword to clash with it; quite obvious that the woman had her arm clad in haki, he would be sure that this clash was in his favor by using a technique of his own.

He kept his resolve as he brought the sword to meet her arm as she thrust it forward; reinforcing his resolve with his own haki. One would normally think that 'armament' haki was only to be used defensively, but in this circumstance, he could use his haki to mitigate the damage of her lariat and cut clean through her arm...

Hopefully she didn't need it.

The exchange was quick, however his willingness to absorb the damage from the wolf put him in a position to counter attack. The explosive sword swing again at close range would put Xio in the path of his own attack, and even a retroactive haki barrier wouldn't have been able to stand up against his own sword due to it's innate power. Even inventors who used explosives regularly had to be able to get out of their own blast radius in order to prevent damage and if he was attacking something right in front of him, he would end up caught in his own explosion...

Though Xio was a bad ass. He didn't care. He didn't have f***** finger nails for crying out loud. He was ready to go all the way if that's what it took to be successful in this fight. Animals have a keen sense, and after both were sent flying from the firey blasts, they were slow to recover; I mean, zoan or not if something exploded in your face you would probably be alittle shaken up yourself! However, they could sense as though through instinct that Xio was now on a different mental level. They were also aware now that the man's torch of a sword was more than just a fire stick, but rather, was an explosive force as well!

All things considered, they couldn't launch an offensive attack without taking more damage then they could muster. Already burnt, and carve, the two wolves looked at one another as though discussing some mutual understanding; something they had already planned out. They then... turned tail and ran in opposite directions, transforming into their full wolf forms in order to put all of their resources in to speed as possible in order to escape. Unlike the fool hardy woman who was in the thrill of battle, these two had been in jail for far too long, and weren't about to go back. Once they realized Xio wasn't easy prey, it was time to retreat...!

One headed towards the tunnels while the other towards the ships...

As the flames exploded from his blade, ripping across his barrier- it absorbed the explosion and fire easily; however what it did not absorb as a trade off was the claws shooting through his hand. Still- as he caught the strike, he was not about to let go just because he landed his hit- his injured hand kept a firm grip on the faster wolf's hand, the explosion strained his muscles and arm from the impact force that apparently would of sent the wolf flying if he had not clung to it. He felt his tendons and muscles complain as the wolf's body was pushed back and it yanked his arm he held it by, but he ignored the pain of the strain- and yanked back after the force. Trying to drag the still likely stunned wolf back- and slam his burning blade strait through the wolf's chest.

Should he succeed, he yanked to the side to essentially half-bisect the wolf- sealing the cut as it was made with the white hot flaming blade. With the faster wolf (hopefully) down- he would dashed forward and ignore the throbbing pain in his arm at the joints and palm from the claws and straining. His steps carried him forward quickly as he rushed along- chasing the injured, slower of the pair of wolves as he took off toward the tunnels- and Gin had to question the dog-man's sense of common thought. Dashing forward, Gin spun his blade and lashed it forward- the flames and explosion blasted into the tunnel as the wolf dashed into it, he doubted the flames would catch him even in the tight tunnels.

But that wasn't the goal- instead the sound of an explosion blasted into the tunnel, echoing and filling it; he winced as his human ears popped and it felt like a knife going into them from the sound of several hundred explosions going off at once bouncing around the tunnel. He couldn't imagine how it felt for a being with a wolf's hearing. Assuming it slowed, possibly even stunned or knocked out the wolf-man, he stumbled a bit at the pain in his ears but kept a steady pace as blood rolled from his injured hand as he leap forward in a Soru to close the distance. This time not using the explosion, and slamming the blade in close range forward to attempt to impale the wolf-man through the shoulder with the searing blade.

He needed at least one of them alive to torture for information. He wasn't sure if Djazz would spare Silvers- that in mind he'd try to pin the wolf to the earth with his foot- and the burning blade in his shoulder should the combination all land successfully. Glancing at the injured hand and the bleeding, he narrowed his eyes- he couldn't afford to deal with blood loss right now, assuming he had the wolf pinned he grabbed the red-hot blade and grit his teeth but ignored the pain for the most part as he slowly let out a breath and drew his hand back, the bleeding now forced to stop- he repeated it on the other side, and ripped his shirt to wrap the hand as he waited for the pain to force the wolf beneath him to pass out.



Linda was to busy laughing her ass off in joy to notice the danger of the man's counter until it was nearly to late. Her eyes widening at the last moment as she felt the intense pressure from the muscles of Djazz as he slashed. "Oh sh-" She muttered and immediately attempted to fall back, her speed was on par with his, her accuracy and motion-detection was superior, her haki matched his own. However, the slight advantage she had didn't mean much when she had already placed herself directly in the line of fire. It spared her arm, but it did not spare her from damage. The chainsaw-blade of her arm coated in Haki clashed with the man's superior cutting technique and though it weakened the blow a bit, all it really did was allow her to minimize the damage a bit.

Her Haki and the blade-ar managed to spare a few of her fingers. The blade slashed directly up her arm, removing her hand and arm from in-between her ring finger and middle finger all the way up to nearly her elbow. The vertically sliced half-an-arm went flying to slap against the wall- however to her credit despite that intense damage she didn't do more than wince. Her natural pain tolerance and immense stamina combined meant she barely registered the pain- but she certainly registered the damage. Blood splattered through the air as she was forced backwards, flickering once more with a blast like a canon as she appeared further back and landed skidding slowly as her eyes narrowed on the bleeding arm- it was near useless now. She was actually loosing blood faster because of the way it had sliced.

".. Now I get why you were runnin' around .. your good at melee." She stated this in a tone that was neither pleased, nor angry- as if she was debating this new information as she glanced around and slowly looked at him after a moment- before her free-arm erupted into fire, and then the same shockwave as before; before possibly to Djazz's surprise she chopped the useless arm off herself just below the elbow. The thud of the limb hitting the ground filled the cave as the flames burned the wound shut, halting the blood as she slowly raised the flaming arm she had left and grinned. "I wonder if you'll finally be the one ..?" She murmured- her excitement was still there, but it almost seemed more controlled- reserved as if she was truly looking forward to something now.

Djazz was convinced that once she had taken the bite of his sword that she would come to her senses and snap out of whatever manic excitement pushed her forward into combat. However, he was shocked to find that in spite of scoring a blow, albeit not a completely clean one, she had only faltered so much as to create distance between them, "I do prefer close combat... I could cut the air into projectiles and launch them at you all day as well but I would end up destroying the cove more than damaging you I imagine..." He said, studying her appearance. With such extreme damage done to her mangled arm he imagined it wouldn't be too long until she bled out. Forced movement would only hasten the process. Djazz had no reservations about taking another persons life but ultimately preferred to keep someone alive. It might have seemed arrogant or pretentious to offer an opponent surrender or mercy, but out of principle he was more or less driven to do so, "And... I've been stuck on a ship for a few days so I haven't exactly had a chance to get my cardio in yet..." he said, as the sarcastically 'true' reason behind his running.

Djazz couldn't help but notice that the roar of flame neither the ignition of explosion hadn't been heard, before hearing it in the direction of the tunnels as though right on cue. Had they taken their battle elsewhere? Looking to Silvers once again he felt somewhat sorry for her. She was a strong opponent in terms of physical strength, speed and physical perception, but so much of this potential was gone to waste with something so foolish! Just as he was about to open his mouth and offer her a deal to surrender, he watched with some surprise as she removed what was left of her mangled arm to the elbow and then cauterized it herself on the fires of a nearby torch. Djazz cringed for a second time as he could empathically feel the burning sensation and a shiver down his spine; making his reaction far more dramatic than her own. It was as though she didn't feel pain.

She spoke something or other about Djazz being the one. Now he was convinced that this was simply her personality, and not personal attempt to make advances at him as this was no time nor place for such banter. What he was more concerned with was the fact that she was intending to continue fighting, "Jeeze! What's your deal lady?! Look I get it. You've been planning this and training for a long time. It's important! But you can make new plans! You can't just... make new arms. Make another life. Get your shit together and call it a day! There is no victory here." He said, partially for his own sake.

In spite of speaking a plea of reason he marched forward. This woman was missing a few screws, or perhaps there was something more complex going on that he simply couldn't pick up on. Either way, it seemed as though no matter what he said she was going to persist until she couldn't any longer and join the countless blacked out white-and-black stripped criminals that lay around them. After a few paces, his march burst into a sprint, quickly closing the distance between them without the aid of some 'soru' technique. Even as he approached her, he hoped that she would surrender in time.

Gasping his sword in both hands, he slashed horizontally this time, taking advantage that she no longer had an arm to block with. It would have been easy for her to flee and continue to launch shockwaves, but with only a single hand to perform it with, it would be hardly as challenging to navigate as previously.

Was there no sense in her mind that insisted that perhaps she had lost this fight...?

Spoiler: click to toggle


-------

The new and far more murderous side of Xio made quick work of the first wolf. Unable to flee immediately he was stabbed through and exploded upon; the burst of flames jutting through his chest before he was effectively eviscerated. Falling to the floor he was all but dead lying there as Xio took off in pursuit of the second wolf. Though he was slower in comparison it would still take some doing in order for him to catch up. Within the caves of the tunnels the echoing boom would do a number on his more sensitive ears. Though dog ears were not only more sensitive but also more protected, he was still rattled to the point of returning fully to his human state and forced to grab his ears in ringing pain.

He quickly recovered however. With both the instinct to fight, flee and survive running through his veins, in spite of injury he was able to mustered near complete use of his faculties. Without proper treatment, the injuries he had sustained up until this point would probably have left him immobilized after long, but Xio was not about to leave anything to chance. In fact, the man intended on having at least one prisoner to 'torture' as it were. His pursuit eventually brought him to the man, who, feeling cornered and trapped, had no choice but to defend himself.

The sword came down on the man's shoulder, and he had the sense to bring his hand up to stop it. The blade's momentum was blunted, but at the cost of the sword's edge digging into his arm, causing the man to roar out in pain. To add injury to injury, the searing hot blade scorched his hand. Even still he slowly transformed into his wolf form, grasping the blade within his claws while lashing out with his other hand to stab into Xio's guy with his clawed hand; a scenario that Xio had encountered very similarly with Djazz in their spar not too long ago.

What had he learned from their short encounter that would help him here? Or would merely killer intent be enough to finish off the second of the zoans? His wound sealing ritual would have to wait a bit longer, as it would seem this wolf-human hybrid still had enough fight in him to make a last stand...

A counter? He supposed it made sense. Animal's did not just roll over and die- even prey. Narrowing his eyes as the wolf took the blow to his arm and hand instead, he twisted the flaming blade in the wolves grip to worsen the damage even further before his heel dug into the ground- and his eyes narrowed. The blade was in his hand and shoulder, another explosion would likely do it and knock the wolf out- but he'd take more damage from the impending claws as his barrier could only negate the effect of the explosion. He was faster than the wolf, and his Haki allowed him to visualize what was coming before it hit- but he was close, extremely close. He didn't have time.

Instead, he did the next best thing. He let go of his sword and disappeared in a Soru backwards, but not before his finger brushed the trigger on the blade. The result would be the blade exploding point blank in the wolf's hand as Gin soru'd backward to escape the range of both blade and claw. It left him unarmed to an extent but it would still do; as proven when he landed a few feet back- and yanked the sheath off his back. It was not an actual katana, but it was shaped just like one; it would do. Narrowing his eyes on the cloud of smoke from the explosion, he waited, poised to cut off the tunnels behind him for escape and give chase once more if needed.

He was not sure how much more the beaten down wolf could take, Gin's own right arm was at about half power from the combined damage to his hand and muscles. However his left was perfectly fine, and with his technique as the crimson energy flickered around him- he knew he could still overpower the wolf. Especially as injured as he had become- now the question was had the point blank explosion been enough? He didn't mind leaving the blade, the wolf didn't know how to use it's riggers properly and he'd strike him down before he could figure it out. Without Gin holding it, the blade was just another really strong Katana and nothing more. Each trigger had to be hit in the right order or it would do nothing after all.

Techniques Used



Meanwhile, Linda watched him quietly before a slow smile formed at his words- as he tried to talk her into surrendering, into giving up. He seemed to think her training all this time was some sort of preparation for the joy of battle. Slowly her eyes darkened as she watched him dash toward her, ".. I did not train all this time for that reason. I was punishing myself." She murmured simply, before her muscles in her good arm flexed as she lashed her fist forward and met the intruding blade as that same chainsaw seemed to form and clash with the blade as her arm vibrated at high speeds to maintain it. Sparks flying from the air-blade meeting the normal blade as she ground her heel's in and stared into his eyes.

".. I punished myself every day .. every way I could think of. I trained till I bled. I mocked the guards to make them beat me ..!" Her tone almost seemed pained for the first time in the fight, "I wanted to repent. I wanted the pain to be my way of apologizing for what I can never be forgiven for .. but then I started noticing. It didn't hurt anymore. No matter how hard I tried, nothing hurt." She murmured quietly as she leaned forward, a sudden burst in her strength stemming from what seemed like nothing as she pushed forward more and more- her emotions starting to reveal themselves. "You're right. I want to fight. I like to fight strong people. But not for the reasons you think!"

She grit her teeth as she suddenly released an explosive blast of pure force, the shockwave redoubling in size as the large chainsaw-shockwave slammed into his blade in an attempt to send him skidding backwards as she grit her teeth. ".. I want to die. I want it to end. But I refuse to take the cowards way out and let it happen ..! So prove to me you're the one, damnit!" Her voice almost seemed choked, though there were no tears- her emotions danced like fire in her eyes, desperation, pain- far more pain than she had even come close to feeling when she removed her arm. The shockwave reforming as she attacked him with renewed vigor, the shockwave arm lashing out to dig into Djazz's sword arm from the side.

The woman used her 'good arm' and reciprocated with the chainsaw technique she had used earlier. For only a split second Djazz reflected on how remarkable such a technique was and how impressed he was that such a thing was possible through shockwaves and vibrations alone from the looks of it. However, his admiration was suddenly extinguished as her power pushed into him. even with only a single arm she could muster incredible strength. Djazz grabbed his sword with both hands steadying himself in the clash, though realizing that this was something he could not win with sheer strength alone. It was as though locked in an arm wrestling competition and he himself knew that he could only muster a stagnant position. More than likely it was only a matter of time until he was over powered.

However, as they clashed, chainsaw to sword, she began to steadily explain the reason behind her excitement. Before she had even mentioned it Djazz was already becoming fearful of the truth of the matter; that this woman was not fighting to live, rather, fighting to die. He was a soft hearted individual in many ways, and recognized immediately the pain that one must suffer in order to seek death just to end it. He didn't know what she did to want to punish herself to such an extent but it seemed as though she could no longer live with who she was, "Tsk.... you idiot..." he murmured under his breathe, his first inclination to plead with her that life was not something to be so trifled with and thrown away. That instead of spending her life seeking punishment, she would be better suited making amends! That she had vitality to make up for what sins against karma she felt she made. But no... Djazz recognized the resolve in her voice and in the force behind her stand as she pushed him back with his own attack.

Shame... few individuals on this side of the grandline had this kind of power, to make even him yield. Though, now that he thought about it, there were far more than he would expect in paradise. What was wrong with the world that it was creating all of these monsters? That though unrefined, people like Kamina and Izuru continued to pop up!?

After the first burst of anger, Djazz understood." Yeah... I get it..." After the second, when he was send skidding backwards, digging the balls of his feet into the ground, he knew what he had to do. This was her decision, and while he was no harbinger of death, executioner of judgeman, he did wield a sword that was the manifestation of chance... luck... and fortune, "So be it..." He said, leaving the duty up to his blade. This next attack would be decisive. If the woman survive or not would be out of his hands... but either way, this would be over.

As the woman lashed out to dig into his sword arm from the side, he wasted no time, "Divine Intervention..." he said under his breath, gripping the sword and ripping it across his body with inhuman strength and speed. The result was a massive shockwave; capable of cutting far more than just the woman in front of her. He had realized this entire time that all of her techniques were slightly unrefined, most likely as a result of only 'training' in a jail cell and not being able to functionally use her techniques in battle. As for that reason, this technique would be able to trump her current attack as well as the previous shockwave where she was spun around. Though her haki was strong enough to sense danger, she wouldn't realize truly the scope of what this technique was capable of, and at point blank, she would have limited options for dodging; even if she did the huge range would engulf her in the cutting edge no matter what.

Whether it hit her, knocked her out, killed her, cut her in half, or even she managed to somehow dodge the massive attack, it would still continue to have a huge impact on the environment. Luckily, he was facing the mouth of the cove when he used it, and moments after this momentous sword swing, two of the pirates ships that sat in the bay would promptly crumble in half; literally cleaved in two by the same force he unleashed on Silvers.

Tech


-----

Though the last of the zoans made his final stand, the mans explosive sword was far more than he could manage. He could only defend himself momentarily before another explosion blew off his hand, and sent him flying backwards. Hitting a wall of one of the tunnels, he collapsed, charred and motionless on the floor. The stub where his hand was, now started rapidly bleeding, and from the empty white pupils of his eyes one would know that this man was either unconscious or dead.

Unlike his brother, who Commander Xio had so graciously eviscerated, this man was blown back by the concussive force and still clung to life. Xio could choose to have him immediately arrested, detained and questioned, could put him out of his misery himself, or also leave him here to bleed out and die. The explosion sent another thundering roar through the tunnels, and now, even his men outside were growing antsy with anticipation for what exactly was going on inside!

What would Commander Xio's next move be? After collecting his sword that is, which now stuck upright into the ground as though it were planted there, waiting for him to retrieve.

Ginjo narrowed his eyes on the downed man who was sent as a charred unconscious body into the wall, slowly his breath released from his lips as he relaxed- his muscles shrinking slowly as the red demonic glow seemed to disperse slowly and his eyes narrowed on the man's bleeding stump. Stepping forward he yanked Ryu from the ground as he walked, before kneeling and with an ignition of the blades flames, sealed the wolf's own- keeping a foot on his chest to ensure he couldn't do anything to fight back as the pain possibly would re-awaken him. Slowly he straitened, blade in hand as he repeated the action to his own injured arm before he narrowed his gaze on the wolf and sighed shaking his head at the man that was now a normal human once more.

".. I will get the information I need out of you." He murmured simply as he leaned down and grabbed him by the back of his near-ruined shirt and drug him out into the cove once more- just in time to see Djazz unleash a tremendous blast of pure condensed air in a shockwave. Raising a hand in surprise at the sheer amount of damage the cove had withstood- holes everywhere, small craters, and then his eyes widened even further when he realized the true size and power of the massive shockwave as it blasted forward. Gin couldn't help but be amazed, even the most powerful shockwaves he had seen that were that size did not have the potential to cut through iron and carpentry wood like puddy.

Linda also watched the swing, and the massive shockwave- and she realized just how much Djazz had held back against her. And to the surprise of Ginjo she did not appear horrified or scared- instead .. she smiled. "Thank you .." Was her only words as the shockwave blasted toward her, she did not fight it. Indeed fate itself, luck was what would decide her fate as she knew no matter what she did she could not avoid it or block it, even if she tried to weaken it with a double version of her shockwave guard; it would still blast right through and kill her. Let it come .. let her suffering end. With this thought, the shockwave hit- the ships behind her being sliced clean in half, the water itself splitting as if Djazz wielded the staff of Moses.

Ginjo stared in awe, blinking slowly at the wind that rippled around him from the impact before he slowly shook his head- whistling softly in amazement as his eyes then widened even further in surprise, because there was Linda- standing on a singular chunk of stone that had not been sliced into- her body held a massive cut from her right shoulder at the base of her neck, to her left knee all the way down her body and thigh. She stumbled, and looked confused as she fell to a knee- it hurt certainly, which stated alot with her pain tolerance and yet her lips slowly opened. ".. Why .. am I still ..?" She murmured simply as Ginjo blinked slowly and looked toward Djazz.

.. Had he adjusted the shockwave to weaken near the center, and focus more around her instead? Or .. had something else done it instead? His Haki had not picked up anything like that but with Djazz it was hard to tell. He was fairly sure he had not felt killing intent from the man- did that mean he had simply swung and let it happen? Had she defended somehow? He turned to ask the downed woman- before she faceplanted into the earth, the crack of her nose hitting the stone made him wince as she passed out. Slowly he sighed and glanced at the dead, roasted body of the other man as he stepped forward and over it without a care; showing a surprisingly cold streak.

He leaned forward however, and placed the unconscious man down- making sure Djazz was fine, before he took out the small pocket Den-Den and gave the order. "Invade. It is over. Bring medical stretchers for two." "Yes sir!" Came the quick response as he slowly sighed and looked toward Djazz, and inclined his head. ".. Thank you, Djazz. You held up your end of the deal, rest assured I will as well." He smiled simply despite his damaged arm, it was minimal compared to what it would have been without Djazz after all- before he looked toward the down bodies as well as the dozens of unconscious mooks that littered the ground as his men rushed in with two stretchers, and alot of handcuffs and got to work cuffing, binding, and so forth on all- the dead being placed to the side to deal with later.

The living always took priority as the two injured opponents were taken in, that thought made him look at the stretcher of the young woman a she was carried out. ".. What was her deal?" He asked simply, looking toward Djazz curiously, chuckling weakly and shrugging on his response whether he gave one or not. "Let's head off. I'll get you that food you wanted."
