Eventually as the ship would slowly begin to sink into the water the Marines would stop their bombardment as the ship was already in flames and getting ready to fall into the bottom of the ocean. Many pirates were seemingly dead on the floating water or barely alive and on the shore line as the remaining marines began to head into the area. As they began to head up to Xavier they lifted their weapons but paused as some recognized him and the man that was knocked out in front of him as he was still very much injured. In a few minutes the captains would take charge of their men and direct them to aid those in need of help as they had their men apprehend the rest of the pirates. Xavier's injuries were several and bordered on being very dangerous, having many small cuts along his torso and limbs but namely along his left side that nearly cut his kidney he also had cuts on his palms from grabbing at the mans sword. The gashes he maintained seemed to be able to be healed rather quickly, at least for him as given a number of doctors were assisting him he also realized who actually helped him.

The glasses wearing marine known as Simon, a friend of his late father, smiling a bit before he began to sleep himself Xavier would allow the medics to take care of him as he laid there on the ground. Mean while as they came in the marines would help anyone in need while capturing the rest of the pirates that were around the area, making sure none escaped this turn of events as Captain Simon directed his men.

Two Days Later

"God damn it Vonzell, why dose you and your family always get into trouble?? Your just like your father, he had the nose of a blood hound and got into business he had no need to be around." "Hey, I was just trying to enjoy some arcades, how would I know some crazy programmer would try to steal money from the casino's and just so happy to have their distraction be in the games area." "Just be lucky I've been following you around, or else you'd have more stuff to deal with, and by that I mean you'd be rebuilding this alone...well...with the help of Maruki of course..." The two, Simon (green) and Xavier (blue), seemed to have their sleeves rolled up, hammering in nails as a number of marines were doing the same. After the arcade area got almost demolished they had spent the past few days rebuilding it, well that is after Xavier recovered as given how he looked. Mummified and in bandages around his body but still able to do some manual labor he was doing well in making clay for the carpenters to use and shape as well as build up new buildings.

The captain however wasn't happy about the report he had to give, sure it detailed what happened between Maruki, Jericho, and Xavier regarding the robots and the captain of the pirates that attacked. But it also detailed his involvement in aiding after it was all done and when he got back from HQ with the info he was ordered to help in repairing the town which made him very sour as he wasn't more of a builder but more so someone who reads books in his free time. "Gah! My finger!" Using a hammer was of course hard for him, which sparked Xavier to laugh at his fathers pervious first mate with a wide grin."You hit the nail with the hammer Simon, not your thumb.." As he made this snide remark Simon would simple poke him using his index finger against his back leg. Aiming to knock him over and fall down as he easily toppled over like a stack of cards, making him groan as his body was still sore and in pain.

As he was about to rebuttal to this attack Simon would pull down the hat he had on over his eyes, smiling as he actually enjoyed keeping his promise to Xavier's father. "Your hard to hate Vonzell, but be careful next time, your dad said for you to stay alive not risk your life every time you reach a new island. Those cuts of yours wont heal as fast if my doctors aren't around to get you in time." Being a doctor himself he was able to treat almost anyone, but he was worried, he lost a lot of blood before and was closer to dying than he first seemed. If he wasn't treated in around an hour or so he'd have died of blood loss, none the less Xavier seemed to pull up his fathers hat and pout as he looked up at him. "I'm in my 20's I can handle myself, though I guess I should rethink a few things...that pirate said a few things to me before he passed out after all. Some of them hit home, part of me wants to go back to that life but its a bit late now given who took my sister..." His face shifting to a sad one as Simon sighed, this was hard for everyone involved, even he couldn't disobey orders to help Xavier as the marines were not to be involved with the yonkou's.

"Listen, as men and women we have to make hard choices, I wont say your choice to find your sister is a bad one just remember that if you go down your path too far you'll end up doing something you'll regret. After all, you've gained a lot of power, in the eyes of people around you that's threatening, take that how you wish but just be safe Xavier. Your mother would hang me by my balls if she found out you died on the way there...but...promise me that if the stakes are raised and you can't possibly get it done, you'll turn back. No fights, no second guessing, turn back and go home. Understood?" Xavier could tell that Simon was completely serious about this as he got up, struggling for a second but managed to get on his feet as he rubbed his sore body a bit. Many people in the world didn't have parents, nor did they correlate with them often when they set out to see the world, but for himself...he had his twin sisters at home and his mother, not to mention the help and advice of his friends Maruki, Jericho, Simon and even a bit of his father who even while dead could make him see things the right way.

"Okay, if I get in over my head, I'll come home..." Though he didn't want to admit it he knew he was getting into dangerous territory and shouldn't push it too far, after all he needed to stay alive, not waist his life away. Soon a call out to Simon rang as one of the petty officers would speak up, "Captain! The repairs are almost complete sir! Thanks to Ms. Maruki the building process has been cut down by 75%! We are instructed to stay here for another 3 days, what shall we do sir?" he'd say as Simon scratched his head, "Simple, enjoy Las Arcadas, think of it as a vacation while on the job." The solider smiled brightly at this as a few cheers rang out, they seemed happy to work under their captain and Xavier actually learned a few things from Simon in this moment. He was a good leader that knew when to relax, and still fight if needed, maybe he should follow said example and not have to worry about every single thing. Straitening up a bit he would soon begin hammering in the last few nails with Simon, the two of them finishing the last building that was destroyed, and it would seem it was a simple sign.

"This park was made for enjoyment by the sweat, blood, and clay of the Marines, and some helpful volunteer's. Please enjoy your stay."

The marines had stopped with all of that bombing, which was a good thing when you were on the ship and didn't want to be one of the people who died. Even worse, someone who was on their side (for the most part). Now that it was over he was sure that they would come and rescue him, but a little issue had come up. Issue being, that they didn't.

He didn't know if he was doing something wrong, or if maybe someone on one of the ships didn't like him, or what. But whatever it was, it was keeping them from wasting any time on getting him from safety. And it wasn't until he heard a familar voice that he understood why.

Reason being...he had an octopi savior.

"Jeez! Popping up out of nowhere is not cool Maruki." He'd say, scolding her. And then he remembered: she was his savior, she could appear however the hell she wanted to. As long as she got him out of this jam, he could care less. "You know what? Forget I said anything. Just save me, please?"

A few days later...

"No fair, my ticket got wet."

Nothing new, just Jericho venting to himself on how his one ultimate sure-fire-was-the-golden-ticket had gotten wet after his little heroic stunt days ago. It still bummed him out because he was pretty confident that he could've gotten a really good prize for that thing, but no. It was gone. Just like that. How cruel the world was, huh?

Well, no point on dwelling on such things, so he shook his head free of those thoughts and made his way above deck of their ship. After all of that 'fun', coupled with the loss of his golden ticket, he felt it best to just chill and do something productive. Like sleep...sleep was considered productive, right? Well, it was to him anyway, got a chance to keep himself beautiful and awesome at the same time.

And, every now and then he would help fix up the arcade. It was the little things like handing people stuff and, helping to paint and, even helping to figure out how to get some of the games working again. In truth, the last one was more so he como be one of the testers to see if the game worked properly, but a job was a job. Only fair to make the best out of it. Speaking of such things, now would be a wonderful time to see if anything needed 'testing'.

He'd casually jog over to the arcade section and look over any and all games that didn't seem to be operating. Any games that were operating, he already played them, so those could wait. And while searching for some fun he spotted lil' ol' Xavier helping out to rebuild, though he was busy talking to one of the marines. A higher up it seemed, as one of the other marines came up and called him Captain. Bumping bodies with important people, smart move Xavier...smart move indeed.

Not like him, just hiding behind a wall in order to eavesdrop on their conversation. He didn't even know where the wall came from or how it got there, but it was shielding him from sight and that was all he needed. This was interesting, moreso than looking for arcade games to play. Not by much though, just enough to peak his interest. Now, if only something dramatic and fun happened, he'd be content with life.

Maruki had looked about and it seemed the ship she was currently clinging to the side of was going down, not a problem for her of course but for Jericho it was probably just a tiny bit of a problem, and when he finally noticed her she was tempted to just ink his face for that remark of it not being cool that she appeared out of nowhere but she didn't mostly because he seemed to realize that she was there to save him from the little issue called water that a hammer like him had a lot of problems trying to survive in. "Yeah you better say please Wha~~" she said jokingly as she grabbed him and hauled him of the ship with her, granted it meant going underwater but since she had him in her grip he was fine and they managed to get to shore all the same. And best of all in one piece.

Surveying the damage she knew she would have to tell Xavier that she was going to help them rebuild, but knowing Xavier he would probably agree with her on that point, since they have done the same before a few times so she knew it wouldn't be an issue, she would just have ot get her supplies and the like from the ship.

A Couple of Days later

Maruki was humming to herself as she continued to work on one of the buildings that had been destroyed, the Marines being there helped quite a bit, though she was still running off and rebuilding whole buildings by herself at times, mostly cause she had helped direct a few of them to build another and she wanted the people to be able to return as soon as possible, As for the games she also found herself repairing those, and Jericho seemed to pop in now and again to test them. Really she didn't mind how he seemed to mostly stay on the ship, he did help with little chores and the like but she kinda guessed he really wasn't the building type.

As she worked she had also improved some of the buildings designs to make them far less susceptible to fires in the future, fire suppression systems, fire exits, high temperature resistant materials things of that nature, basically trying to make it hard for the place to sustain that much damage again, but she also made sure the wiring was easy to get to for the staff that needed to do maintenance, and installing a few back ups so that someone could just fiddle with one access point and mess up the whole thing. She was probably going over board but she knew it would help in the long run.

Though as she worked she had to consider what happened, she had seen how the whole thing had affected Xavier, having grown up around him and being around him so long she could tell when something was bothering him, but he seemed to get most of his uplifting talking to from an old friend of his fathers, from what she overheard anyway, and as she finished up with the building she was working on she crawled down the side of it and spotted Jericho eavesdropping on Xavier "Oi Oi Oi spazzy the spaztastic spazzer don't go nosing in on people go test some of the new machines or something Wha~~" she said as she poked the top of his head before heading off to finish fixing the rest of the machines which was really all that was left to do on the island.

Though she couldn't help but consider the things they would need to do after they left, she was already designing a new ship that would incorporate the current ship into it's design so they would never have to truly leave it behind, and designing new things to handle tougher enemies, those bots had really held her back for longer then she had liked, Especially after learning what had happened to Xavier, and Jericho really, and she didn't want to not be able to help them again. She had also learned quite a bit from studying the remains of the bots after everything was okayed with the marines for her to give them a look over.

The work on them was extensive, only a few weapons each but they were specialized for their roles, and their controls and A.I. where good though the combat A.I. needed work as once they had apparently switched to it Maruki was able to out maneuver them ad take them out, and the fact that they had no protection from massive electrical surges helped, it was a lesson she herself would learn, and had somewhat already bypassed with her Dynamo, but their time here was coming to an end and maybe they could even get some real relaxation time in before heading off.

Treasure Hunter: Animatronic Octopus Hug Plush - This cute little guy is one of the prizes availabel at the Las Arcadas Entertainment East district. It's fully mobile and has an extremely rudimentary AI that is roughly equivalent to a normal octopus. It's rather "handsy," loving to hold onto people in a display of affection. Xavier can throw this toy at a mook and incapacitate them for the rest of the thread with the power of warm hugs.
