"You could have tried a bit harder don't you think?" She said in response to Marshall's introduction, if you could even call it that. "Don't tell me you're trying to act all cool and silent in front of our new recruit." It seemed that Alexis decided she would stay behind with their ship this time around however and protect it from anyone that may come by. She figured that was a much safer option rather than trusting the crewmen, and it seemed that their Captain was more or less prepared for this situation. She couldn't help but be a bit awed by the invisible wire setup. It was quite impressive to be honest.

As they were preparing to set out into town and get stocked up on supplies however it seemed that a mob of crazed citizens had shown up on the docks and were attacking people claiming to want their colors? That was an odd thing to be asking for all of a sudden. That said these people were clearly not in their right minds and it seemed the other had picked up on this. The blade dancer pulled out her swords and got ready for a fight. She held End in one hand with a reverse grip in order to strike with the dull side along with Seigi in her other hand. "Ok, let's get to work boys!" She said aloud, speaking to her weapons actually and not Jack and Marshall.

The woman managed to easily avoid a few of the attacks coming her way and knocked out a few of the men grinning gleefully as she did so. It was clear that none of the people before her were real warriors so taking them on seriously kind of went against her ideals. It took a moment however for her to notice that the other two members of the crew had run off into the distance leaving her with the task of actually picking up the supplies. "What the..." There was about half a second before she realized what was going on and she took off running after them. She reholstered her swords the woman darted through the crowd, ducking and weaving through attacks. Using her speed and small frame it wasn't too difficult to do so. By the time she had managed to get to the other side of the mob however she had lost sight of the two of them. "Marshall when I find you I swear to God..."

Alexis had a crew of people who wished to fight each other all the time, she thought this could happen once gathering individuals to sail with, but not with her whole group. Alexis would keep dodging each attack sent her way, keeping a close eye on their every movement, not allowing for them to hit her. The wires around the ship Alexis didn't know 100% of their location, giving they were also invisible to her, but all she would need to do is let go of them then they can be seen. Alexis would see them both running off as she would just smile, and hearing Nyx speak to her weapons again, having an odd crew, but that is why it was a good group, to sail with having their own way and style about life, after seeing Nyx run after the two men Alexis made a comment. "I'm more worried about my crew hurting each other and the town doing any harm towards them." Alexis said knowing she wasn't wrong.

Alexis would be dodging each attack coming her way, but then was gone turning invisible as they looked confused. "WHERE DID SHE GO!" But then they had the idea of running onto the ship to take all their gold and colorful things. "LETS TAKE ALL THEIR LOOT!" But as each one ran up, they all when and hit the ground showing signs of weakness, losing strength trying to still get passed until they couldn't move no more after hitting the wires, Alexis was near the ship but couldn't be seen, thinking that was simple enough, better and using strength like she did with the mooks in the last town with that whole battle with her sister. As each one was passing out from the poison Alexis knocked them out hitting their head with the back of the scythe until it was none left to attack the ship, letting go of the wire allowing everyone to see it now, but still would be hard for your everyday person to get passed, as touching it could make you feel weak. "I better look for supplies." She said taking a little walk around the town, but being able to see the ship in sight.

Jack was not sure what he would find ahead other than the red headed freak who had destroyed his ship. Many unusual things transpired, but he paid them no mind and focused on the explosions in the middle of town. Terrible guide that they were, they were still his best chance to get even.

He was not at all unlike any other man when it came to coveting his property, even property that he had stolen from other people by force.

He noticed Marshall on his heel. The blonde haired pirate had been the least involved in his earlier interaction with Alexis and Nyx. Jack wondered what kind of man he was. The swordsman wasn't sure if he had followed him to keep an eye on him, or to help, or simply to investigate what's happening deep in the town. Afetr giving it a single very brief moment of thought, Jack decided that it didn't matter, not until he evened the score with... what was he called again? Jack remembered that the pyromaniac had introduced himself, but the name escaped him right now. He had perhaps been too worked up to remember it.

As Jack and Marshall got closer to the heart of the conflict, a surprise explosion took the swordsman off guard, demolishing one of the walls near him.

“Oh hey....” he heard a voice from the side greet him, “If it isn't Jack again. I knew we'd meet again.”

Jack only starred at him with contempt, drawing his sword.

"You're hurting my feelings you know. It's me Jagger! Jaaa, ggg, eeerrrr." added the red headed demolitionist, spelling his name at the end one sylable at a time.

Now that he heard it again, Jack remembered the name quite clearly. In fact, the whole scene ran through his mind once again, only strengthening his resolve to beat this man.

Marshall followed Jack in silence, noting that the swordsman was probably too focused on his pursuit to engage in idle chitchat. That was good; small talk could be rather distracting, and Marshall wasn't a big one for conversations to begin with. Of course it could be that Jack didn't notice that he was being followed by the bat-man, but he thought he had seen the man look over his shoulder once or twice. Plus he seemed like an alert enough guy, someone who could "feel" if they were being watched or something. He just had that feel to him, something Marshall felt they shared.

The pair continued their journey to the potential source of their troubles when a nearby wall was suddenly engulfed in an explosion. Marshall instinctively jumped away from the blast and drew out his bat, the seaking bone blending in nicely to the white surroundings of the island. A man appeared and Jack readied his weapon as well; based on the one-sided conversation, it seemed like this was the troublemaker his new crewmate was looking for, and the source of all these explosions.

Marshall stretched his head back and forth, cracking his neck as he kept his eyes trained on this Jagger guy. "Well do you want to take on this quack yourself or do you need-" Suddenly, Marshall got a very bad feeling. No, it wasn't just some bad feeling; it's like he knew what was about to happen. Marshall suddenly lunged towards Jack and spun around, bracing his bat in front of him.

What happened next was a mxied bag of results: rather than sinking right into Jack's unsuspecting back, two shuriken that came out of seemingly nowhere bounced off of Marshall's bat and fell harmlessly to the ground with a clatter. A third, however, sunk right into Marshall's stomach (why was it always the fucking stomach?!?), making the bad wielder cringe a bit in pain. He looked up to the rooftop and saw what could only be described as some sort of ninja looking down on them: they were dressed in all black and the occasional white, with everything but their head completely covered.

The head was where his theory of a ninja kind of fell to pieces: rather than being covered up like everything else, the guy's face was just completely visible. Short, purple hair and rather sharp facial features with no scars. I mean maybe the face in of itself was one you could probably forget, but damn that hair was obnoxious. Still, if he really was a ninja, Marshall couldn't exactly call him a shitty one; he had no idea how he- "I have no idea how you responded to that so quickly," the man said from the rooftop. "You seem like an interesting man...."

Wait a second, did he just talk? Yeah fuck that noise: he really was shitty ninja.

It hadn't taken long at all for this town to descend into chaos as the people lost their minds and went wild in the streets. She supposed she was interested in what exactly had caused all of this, but at the same time it was a lot easier to ignore things for now. rounding another corner of the white streets of Gesso the swordsman's feet skidded to a stop. Her eyes darted from left to right while taking in the sights. Yes, Nyx was certain of it. She had one hundred percent lost track of Marshall and Jack and had no clue where she was. "Why does everything have to look the same around here!" She angrily kicked one of the walls nearby while observing another explosion in the distance. Maybe trying to take that shortcut to cut the two of them off wasn't the best idea especially in a town she's never even been in. Now that she thought about it however if this wasn't where the pyromaniac from before had run off to then what were up with the flames in this area?

Well whatever, probably just more rioting going on in the streets. "I guess I'll just get the supplies then." She said with a frown. This would at least get her a chance to come up with a revenge scheme on those two for ditching her back there. She stepped into a nearby building that had gotten its windows smashed in and decided to take a look around. It seemed like she could grab some useful things around here. As she stepped inside the woman could tell that the shop had already been hit up by someone else by the state of the shelves and such and it seemed like the person who did it was still here. The sound of a voice and a can rattling being heard from down the aisle.

"Is this swill really the best they have to drink around here? Even the beer is white on this dumpster of an island." The woman spoke aggressively while tossing an empty beer can off to the side and kicking a shelf over. "And you over there that's snooping around. Just come on out or leave me alone weakling."

Another empty can of beer came across the room again, this one clearly aimed at Nyx's position. The blade dancer pulled out one of her extra blades and sliced it, two halves of the can falling to the floor. "You know, I was willing to just ignore the drunken ramblings of an aging alcoholic sitting in the corner and move on with my life, but if you're gonna be rude about it then I might have to knock your dusty old bones loose." She taunted while pointing her sword at the woman across the room. There was definitely something up with this woman especially those swords she was carrying.

The woman in question stood up now, belching a little after finishing her most recent can. Despite how many empty beers there were nearby however she didn't seem even a bit intoxicated. "Old? I'm simply a mature and sophisticated woman!" she retorted, a vein bulging from her forehead now as she stood her ground. "Not that I'd expect a flat chested child like yourself to be smart enough to understand what any of that even means."

Now this woman was just starting to piss her off. Well whatever, she'd just knock her out and move on with her job for the day. Dashing down the store aisle Nyx turned her blade around and attempted to knock her out with the blunt side. Strangely enough however her swing was stopped before she could even complete it. The alcoholic had stopped the attack with her bare hand. "What's up with this flimsy toothpick you just tried to prick me with? Do you even know the proper way to swing one of these things?" Nyx attempted to pull back her sword now before it was too late. Her earlier suspicions seemed to be true about this woman not being normal. Despite her attempts however the sword was locked tightly in her grip. "How about I teach you a thing or two tyke." the woman grabbed the sword from her waist and went for a swing at her midsection.

"End, I'm gonna need your help!" Reaching down to her side the blade dancer was quick enough to defend herself from the blow. Even with that however the force of it all was able to force her back several feet. With giving her a chance to regain her footing the woman was upon her once again and forcing her to block swing after swing before the two locked swords in another clash.

"Hm, you have some pretty decent instincts for a kid. I'm not doing much today so let's see how much longer you can keep up." She went into another flurry of strikes each one being blocked by Nyx if even just barely, but never providing a clear enough opening for her to actually try and counterattack. Instead she was much more focused on the sword itself that her enemy was carrying. There was something oddly familiar about it despite the fact that she had never seen it in her life. "That blade...."

Alexis looked around the town bits at a time seeing if she could see anything to take back towards the ship, and Alexis did find bags of, oranges, meat, vegetables, and other things like water that could last for a while on the ship taking it all back, but someone shown up one of the town's people that lost his mind. "GIVE ME ALL YOUR COLOURS." As he ran holding a sword, ready to attack Alexis, but she stayed calm dodging each attack like everything was in slow motion, but as he was about to swing one more time Alexis raise one hand up pointing her finger at his forehead being just away from hitting him, but a purple luiqad came down from his head passing out onto the ground, but before leaving Alexis noticed something on the back of his head, it was dark, towards the point that it looked like a rooting fruit, is this why he was being crazy? After that, she was now on the ship placing everything down, after removing all wires, but something wasn't right, many of the wire wasn't here, Alexis looked around and seen a massive part of it on the side of the ship, being black, rooting just like that man's head.

But in that second someone on the ship came to Alexis it was one of the mooks, she wished to see if he was okay, but in a second without warning his sword was slashed at Alexis's neck, her eye's opening wide falling onto the ground, her head looking like it wasn't attached to her body anymore, being a clear cut. A man laughed coming out from nowhere his skin, black like rooting fruit it wasn't normal, as her crew member just yelled out. "THAT IS WHAT YOU GET FOR KILLING MY FAMILY!" He was on about how Alexis family enslave his, being one of the people that stayed here on the ship, but inside still mad about it, but he was acting like the townspeople. But the odd new man spoke. "That is just pitiful for a captain to die like this, I really wished to watch you lose your mind, and fight each one of your crew members, but I guess this was more and enough my own crew should be finished by now." He had no idea why the crew member blames his captain or killing his family, but also didn't care she was dead and it was all over. He got ready to walk away, but as he turned around something would happen.

He looked in shock looking in pain, his eye's unable to believe what just happen, as a scythe was in his chest, coughing up blood, turning his head slightly. "..How dar.....you." Alexis was alive, standing to hold a scythe that was stabbed throw the man, her head becoming one with her body again, showing her neck that she turned invisible making him believe it was separated. "I agree, for a captain to die so pitifully should give up being one, shouldn't you follow your own advice?" She said her red eye's locked onto him, but all he did was laugh finding this funny, but Alexis's serious gaze didn't change.

Jack was about to answer Marshall's query about taking on Jagger when he realized he had jumped behind him. In any other situation, Jack would have been wary of someone he had just met moving behind him, but it made very little sense that Marshall would mean him any harm. In fact, it actually looked every bit like he had helped him out at the expense of his own stomach, which was a bit surprising. "Th... thanks," he said... he of course had no idea how the bat weilder was able to see the attack coming, but he was very grateful for the save nonetheless. "I'll learn how you saw through that attack someday, but in the meantime, I'd just like to say that appreciate you having my back."

Meanwhile, a small object seemed to get thrown casually from Jagger's hand, and as it approached the Ninja's head, it exploded. "Oops, Viper... I didn't see you there." he said, all the while grinning from ear to ear.

Jack couldn't help but be disturbed by the sight, not because Jagger seemed to lack some screws in his head, he had already noticed that, but rather because the bomb didn't seem to phase Viper in the slightest. It was worrying how he couldn't truly gauge their strength. It reminded him of the rogue swordsman he met on Cactus Island. "I think each of us has already chosen their opponent, so how about we start kicking some ass." he said to Marshall, trying to sound confident.

Jagger shot him a look then, one that seemed to say "Who the hell do you think you are." All of a sudden, the bomber was no longer playful, and all interest in pranking or annoying his own crewmate faded away.

Jack did not waste any time giving his opponent an opportunity to voice what he was about to say. He had a feeling he'd need all the surprise he can get on him. Not that Jack's first attack surprised the redhaired man in the slightest. The black bracelets on his wrists blocked Jack's sword perfectly, as he crossed his arms in front of the attack, and a very rough kick followed, introducing itself between Jack's arms, and hitting him in the chin, only to explode in his face like some sort of contact bomb, sending him flying towards the wall of a nearby building.

Marshall kind of wanted to tell Jack something along the lines of, "I hope I learn how I did that someday too," but decided to keep his mouth shut. It would be to his advantage if their opponents thought he could see the future or some stupid shit like that, and maybe it wasn't a bad thing that Jack thought he was stronger than he was. Actually it definitely was a bad thing since he didn't want Jack to think Marshall could bite off more than he could chew, but that was a matter for a later time.

It was clear at this point that the two weirdos were allies of some sort, what with the maniac calling the ninja wannabe by name, throwing an explosive at him, and then the not-a-ninja staying absolutely still as it proceeded to explode before reaching him. Then again, maybe he didn't dodge because his reaction time was actually really slow; honestly Marshall wouldn't be surprised at this point.

Jack made a comment about them having their own opponents, and Marshall again bit his tongue back from making a cheeky remark. Instead, he just said, "Fine by me," before pulling the ninja star out of his stomach and throwing it towards the ground. He then locked his eyes onto this Viper dude, cocked his bat back, and sent a shockwave of air flying at the man.

Looks like his reaction time wasn't shit at all. Immediately after Marshall swung his bat forward, the "ninja" leaped high into the air and to the side, dodging the attack before it even got close to him. As he approached another roof top, he sent another flurry of shuriken at Marshall, though this time the batman actually knew what he was doing. He knocked each one to the ground before running forward himself, leaping up and off a large box as he got onto a nearby rooftop himself. The "dresses like a ninja but isn't one" tried to stop him by blowing what he could only imagine to be a poisonous dart at him, but Marshall managed to just barely dodge it by breaking into a roll at the end, though his landing was kind of rough.

What was it about this woman's sword? That thought haunted her mind as the two continued to cross blades inside of the grocery store. The thought itself seemed to be slowing down her movement however as Nyx still found herself having toe continuously guard against the flurry of blows. Hell, the woman in front of her was only using one hand with her sword. "Of all the arrogant..." She muttered beneath her breath while stepping in this time instead of stepping back and bringing the two of them much closer to each other while shifting her sword to it's flat side, causing the woman's own weapon to slide past her body and a narrowly avoid cutting into Nyx herself. "How about this!" Her second blade came in an upwards swing that was avoided as her opponent leaped backwards.

"About time you got your head in the game."

"Heh, shut up. I was never out of the game. Now, let's keep going." The blade dancer charged ahead, kicking off one of the shelves and leaping into the air before kicking off the ceiling as well and coming down with incredible speed. One of her quickest technique and hopefully the irregular movements would serve to catch the woman off. There was a sudden impact between blades for a moment and then the blade smith found herself being blown backwards by the woman's might sending her into a nearby shelf and causing food items to fall all over the place. What the hell was that technique? It was like her force had been used against her effortlessly. With a quick handspring she was back to her feet. She wasn't sure why, but she wanted to see that technique again.

"This is a bit of a fun warmup here. How about we keep it going a tad longer. I have some time to kill before I should go and meet back up with those bunch of idiots in town." The woman spoke while playfully swinging her sword and awaiting another attack from Nyx.

If she wanted the woman to do that again then she would have to come at her with another powerful attack. "You're gonna stop underestimating me when you see this one." She tossed one of her swords up in a low arc and rapidly reached into the "quiver" on her back, pulling out even more short swords and tossing them up in the air as well. It only took a short moment but in that time she had begun to juggle about eight swords at once, them all going up and down in a rhythmic yet always changing flow of steel. It was a bit of a hassle trying to keep the juggle going in a tighter space, but thankfully the ceiling wasn't that low and the nearby shelves had been knocked over giving her a bit more breathing room.

"So what is this? A circus performance?" She taunted while preparing to fight again.

"If this were a performance I suppose you could call it the dance of death. Nah, scratch that. That name sounds pretty corny. How about the midnight crescent? Not a fan of that one either. Whatever, the point is that you ass is mine!" She ran forward while continuing to flip the swords around her body, Nyx going into an agile set of spins upon closing in on the woman and striking her airborne blades, causing them to swing down at the woman from varying angles. "Can you block all of these?" Her question was met with a grin and sure enough a repeat of what had happened just a minute ago with her last attack. The dark haired woman blocked her main strike among the flurry of sword and was able to blast her back with sheer force of her own. This time there was a bit more intensity to the attack which sent bother her and all of her blades scattering about the store.

Maybe diving right in when she already knew what the woman was capable of was just a tiny bit of a foolish plan. Being thrown back again she felt her back slam into something solid and sturdy and everything go black.

Alexis thought this battle was over and done with, his body had a scythe in the center, but something wasn't right his blood didn't fall out, Alexis didn't take note of this, but the man acted like he was in pain, Alexis tried to pull it out, but couldn't as the man dropped his act. "That was fun, it's good your not dead." He started to act like nothing was wrong Alexis finding this truly odd. "CAUSE I CAN HAVE MORE FUN IN RIPPING YOU INTO PIECES!" He would turn his body, the scythe coming right out showing a giant cut that would kill a person, his hand reaching right out to grab Alexis, but she held a gun up, hiding it with her devil fruit power, shooting it right at this man's head, creating a loud sound, a hole in the front of his head, stopping in place, Alexis thought it was no way he could be alive ready, to move away from him but that small moment he rushed again grabbing her neck, pushing Alexis down towards the ground, his head healing from the hole, Alexis dropping her scythe. "This Is fun how many more tricks do you have!" He yelled out Alexis struggling to breathe, as she was starting to black out, with him looking disappointed.

But as he thought it was over Alexis pulled her hand up, which was connected to the scythe having a invisible wire around it, as it shoots up cutting both his hands from his body, Alexis using this to get away catching her breath, but he just stood there with his smile, and crazy personality coming out even more. "This is good! So many surprise attacks!" His hands started to regenerate each second Alexis in shock, this was a devil fruit, but nothing like her own. His fighting had no style, it was like he was just toying around, not caring if she made a counter attack. "Let's see how long you can last? I haven't even started to enjoy this fight fully yet!" He said running again Alexis still catching her breath.

The swordsman felt it in his bones. He was not done just yet though; he was going to make this weirdo realize that burning people's ships when they aren't looking is coward's work. Jack jumped back into action immediately after he fell, making sure to dash forward as soon as he was on his feet. For a brief moment, he thought he saw some surprise in Jagger's eyes. He was an experienced enough fighter to have seen this look many of times now. The look of realisation that he had more in store for them than they thought.

As Jack attacked, his sword passed his almost stationary opponent in a flash. And he could have sworn that he saw some blood. But turning around he saw that his opponent's torso was bent back almost inhumanly, and to the swordsman's surprise, was fine.

As he looked back more carefully at Jagger as he resumed his standing position though, Jack saw that he had his palm on his cheek.

He smirked. There was very little need for words. His opponent was not beyond his ability, not as much as some others he had crossed paths with recently.

It seemed Jagger didn't share his view on that though: "You bastard! he said as he turned fully towards Jack. "How dare you scratch my face!!! he yelled. "I'm going to burn you to a crisp.

Jack drew his second sword. He wasn't foolish enough to think that he would surmount this man's strength with arrogant smirks.

There was very little chance hd would do it at all, he had realized that by now, but there was no turning back at this point, only full investement going forward.

Marshall skidded across the rooftop, groaning a bit in pain as he did so. He really hoped that this whole "getting injured in the stomach and then being forced to continue" didn't continue to be some sort of running gag in his life. It was a real pain in the ass, and almost made him want to start wearing some sort of body armor just around his stomach to protect him.

Of course that was an extremely silly thought, probably brought on by head trauma as his forehead slammed into the ground at the end. Shaking the thought from his head, Marshall quickly began to push himself up so he could resume his fight with the not-ninja. But he had underestimated just how quick the bastard was; before Marshall was even fully on his feet, he saw the man appear out of the corner of his eyes, followed by a sharp pain in his neck.

It didn't hurt nearly as much as his tumble just now, but it was enough to make Marshall wince in pain. Feeling around his neck, the young batman felt something stuck in his neck and immediately pulled it out. A quick glance showed it to be a dart, likely the same as those he had just succeeded in dodging earlier, and Marshall threw it off to the side in disgust.

It looks like the wannabe ninja was done with that tactic, however; turning to face him, Marshall could see him putting away his blowgun and..... and..... actually, what was he doing? Things were a bit blurry, and-

*CLACK*
He had seen it at the last minute, or at least sort of saw it? His vision was really getting fuzzy all of a sudden. Anyways, Marshall had brought up his bat to protect him from a slash from one of his adversary's daggers. He had no idea how he got here so quick, but one thing was for certain: that poison dart was taking affect awfully fast, and things were only going to get worse.

Nyx awoke in a familiar place. She was longer in the convenience store on Gesso Island. No it was her home island of Stearr and training out behind master Yano's workshop. It was a strange out of body experience and even though she knew that this wasn't quite right the familiarity of it all kept her drawn in. It was after she had been working for the old man for a couple of years and he had begun to train her in how to fight. She was a novice back then but excited to learn and eager to best the man in combat.

"Let's see how well you block this one you old coot!" A younger Nyx shouted into the sky while holding a heavy sword that was certainly too large for her even in the present day. Seeing this her old master smiled as the girl slowly hefted the sword up and brought it back down only for him to not only block it but redirect the force of it all and send the child rearing back. Nyx hit the floor with a crash and the sword was launched into the air above her and began to come back down. Out of fear the best she could do was to put up her arms and hope not to die. Sure enough though, the pain never happened, instead she opened her eyes and saw old man Yano holding the large blade and smiling. Hopping back to her feet however the young blade dancer was feeling more fired up than ever. "What?! No way, how did you do that? You never taught me that one! How could you block that big 'ol sword so easy?" The girl hopped up and down trying to punch at her master as the old man just held her out of reach with a single hand.

"You're not quite ready for that one. Perhaps one day my blade and I can show you some of the more advanced techniques, hahaha!" One day huh? He'd always say that, and certainly some of those days did come but not all of them.

"Come one girl, up and at 'em."

Nyx woke up from her dream choking on something that was being poured into her mouth, spitting it out all over the floor. It reeked of beer and sure enough when she opened her eyes and looked up she could see the woman she had been fighting was holding a can of beer that had been half emptied. "What the hell are you doing, get the hell off me!" She yelled while getting up to her feet. The blade dancer noticed her weapons had been scattered about the store but sure enough End was still tightly gripped in her hand. He would never leave her side.

"I knew you still had some fight in ya. If I knew that would have been enough to put you out of it then I would have held back a little bit. A little bit of alcohol is usually enough to get me up and going again though. Now, let's keep going!" She pointed her sword at Nyx and once again the woman felt like she was seeing something familiar about it.

It only took a moment now, but she felt like she was remembering something important based off that little flashback. "Hey, before we continue I have something import to ask you. Have you ever met a man by the name of Yano Yagura?" Even before the question was answered Nyx felt a scowl cross her face as her grip around End's handle only tightened.

"Well that's a name I haven't heard in years now. I'm surprised you know the name of that old pervert." The woman chuckled while putting her sword down for the time being.

"I do, he was my sword master for years and taught me everything I know before passing away a couple years ago. So how about you tell me something else. Why the hell do you not only own one of his swords but also know one of his sword techniques?!" She was growing more and more frustrated by the minute as she began to put the pieces together. The sword she carried was recognized by the signature Yano left on his works, but the old man had stopped selling his works decades ago and only continued to make them out of joy for his craft.

"He took on another student even after I broke him and stole one of his most prized swords? I didn't think he had it in him considering how much he was sobbing when I left. Still, he didn't amount to much but a corpse in the ground after all that, huh?" The woman continued to grin while thinking about her former master as well.

"...scum..."

"Hm, what was that? You're gonna have to speak up if you want me to hear you sweetie." The pirate continued to mock.

"I said you're god damn scum!" Nyx exploded forward with her feet kicking off the ground hard enough to crack the all white tiles of the floor. Her sword was no more than a wild flicker catching the light every so often as it took innumerable violent swings at the woman in front of her. "How about I kill your ass and make sure you can apologize to Yano in the afterlife!" She managed to shout in between the sounds of their swords clashing as sparks flew through the air.

"Guess I hit a sore spot, huh? Well then girl, how about you show me how far your rage will carry you? I haven't had such a good time in months!"

Alexis didn't know who this man was just the fact he was a pirate captain, and so far his skills were amazing she couldn't tell how this battle would end. Alexis was catching her breath for now, but that wasn't the only thing, she is a fighter that likes to come up with many ideas, and allowing them to take root. "Now die!" He said, aiming to grab Alexis, but she would disappear out of plain sight, running fast around the ship allowing him to hear. "GET BACK HERE!" She ran, allowing him to follow, but it was still going to be hard to locate Alexis's location, she opens one door running inside. "What is inside here?" He said, opening the door, to find Alexis's favorite place. "A hot spring?" He walked around thinking she couldn't have gone far giving, Alexis did hit the water her devil fruit would stop right away.

"Come out, now!" Then it happened Alexis's scythe could be seen, splashing water onto the man, him being mad from this trick, but with one push of Alexis's weapon, it was aimed right towards his torso, him still not being able to see the young pirate captain, but then something broke within him. "THAT'S IT!" He stopped Alexis's scythe, using one hand, blood showing on his palm, then launched his other hand grabbing Alexis's mouth smashing her into the wall, her devil fruit stopped at that moment. "You have been fun, but I'm tired of going easy, you're not just a simple captain as I first thought, but still years away from me." Something changed his way of acting, being more commanding as Alexis struggled to move his arm away but his grip was to tight. "How cute." He would pick her up above the ground and with one throw Alexis was heading towards the water. "Get out of that one." As she was moments away from hitting the hot spring water, she would pull her hand the scythe being dragged towards her, grabbing it and hitting upwards towards the ship, digging the scythe into the wood, as she stops in place above the air.

But without warning, he jumped up kicking Alexis through the wall, ending up inside her own room, on the ground in pain. "The same trick doesn't work twice." He wished to find out, how she made the scythe come to her from far away, looking around. "It's fun, like a magic show, but you're going to tell me how your tricks work." She layed on the ground again, finding it hard to get back up

Jack recieved Jagger's explosive punch to the gut before he could actually form an attack of his own. He found himself planted into a wall, much like with Jagger's first attack, except that this time, it was not as easy to come back from it. He got up slowly, and found Jagger already next to him, delivering another punch to his torso. Somehow, after getting tossed again, and getting even more wounds on his torso, Jack was able to get up much quicker this time. Funny how your body reacts on its own when it knows that your rational thought can't keep up.

He placed both his swords in front of the upcoming punch, and pushed himself back, skidding rather roughly on the concrete ground, until he found himself tripping backwards because his wooden sandals could only let him skid by so much on a rough surface. Jagger used the opportunity to throw a bomb under him. Upon the impact, Jack's found himself thrown up into the air. Everything that made up his body seemed to be throbing, but he didn't really have time to feel it. He needed to put a real scar on his enemy. iI only he could put one proper wound on the guy, he would consider it revenge for the ship and be able to go on.

As he fell on the ground, having had anothe rmoment fo respite to think, Jack rolled away from his landing area quite quickly, and it's a good thing that he did because another bomb exploded there just a moment after. The red haired pirate did not let him rest though, he was upon him just as soon, but Jack wasn't in the same position as before, quite literally. He was down, and Jagger made the mistake of getting close. The pyromaniac found himself grabbed by the leg, and pushed to fall on his stomach, only to find Jack's short sword in his path and fall on it. This meant that Jack effectively lost one access to one of his two swords, but he wasn't in any shape to care about that, he just had to get away from there before the freak landed another one of his attacks on him. He did not think he'd be able to take another one.
