Wealth, Adventure, and the Open Sea: A One Piece RP.(Arc 4: Porte Carlo.)

[Mr. Omega]

Anabelle collapsed to the ground, completely unable to move her arms and legs. She tried to think of a way to counterattack, but noticed that Sammi seemed more preoccupied with Holik. "Hey! Don't you ignore me you *****!!" She shouted, thrashing about, trying to kick Sammi. [hr]

After Peter had turned his back on the Marine, Yezeku spoke. "So what exactly is your relation to Marsh?" Peter seemed annoyed that Yezeku had waited for the moment he wasn't paying attention to him to open his mouth. It didn't take an expert to know it was just to annoy him. "It's kinda obvious that I'm the captain here..." Peter said, still not paying attention. "Yeeeeah... and you are...?" Yezeku said, squirming around.

Peter stopped, then turned around. "You seriously don't know my name, when the whole unit was probably waiting for us?" Peter looked agitated, throwing Yezeku into a chair. "That's Hippocrates' job. I wanted to pick off Miss Marsh for messing with me in Lasklee. Just passing through on my way back to HQ, really." "Ain't that cute. Aynway, name's Peter Tew. They call me the Gadget Fiend. Swear to god, I need to find who came up with that name and smack him..." he said, turning around and reaching into a toolbox on the floor, searching for something.

"Tew? Huh. Small world." Yezeku tried to get himself comfortable.[hr]

Hippocrates was once again caught off-guard, taking the kick to the face. He managed to roll with the hit, planting his feet after a stumbling a couple steps, then swung his left arm, curling his fingers towards Yoje. The blood pooled at his palm seemed to spring out, forming a sickle, the edges of it turning a darker shade of red and seemed to briefly solidify. "Crimson Scythe!" He swung upwards towards Yoje's torso.

As the ropes continued to bind the Marine, Sammi could feel her begin to thrash around. "Pipe down!" she ordered as she smacked her elbow into Annabelle's side in an attempt to calm her. "I'm almost done!" She looked up and saw Holik making his charge towards Marielle and silently cursed herself. Fuck! Too late! She thought she was going to have more blood spilled on the cobblestone street. She was right.

But it wasn't a female's blood. The wave that Marielle produced caught Holik flush in the face, with the intensity of one hundred Lillestad summer suns. Holik was flattened, dropping his weapon as he crashed to the ground. He paid no attention to the trident however, as both hands went up to clutch at his still smoldering face.

"Aaaagh!" he cried out. "Aaaaaa! I can't fucking see! It hurts so much! God fucking damn it my face!"

Seeing her former crew mate in such pain, Sammi laughed. "Not like that's going to cost you your good looks, dumbass." The movement below her had stopped as Annabelle was now wrapped up like a birthday present from a dick uncle with multiple layers. "There, now stay put." She got up off her opponent. "If Blue's not hurt, I might just leave. If she's hurt bad, I'm replacing her blood with yours." She punctuated this threat with a solid kick to the gut before going over to the other injured woman. "Blue? Blue, talk to me. You all right?"

 

[CounterAttack]

Marielle gave another pained groan and looked up at Sammi from her spot on the ground. "Aaahh... no. I don't feel so good... Oh, my back!" She was on the verge of tears now. And was it her imagination, or were her hands shaking more and more? Even when she tried to reach up to her friend for help?

"It hurts..." She wasn't sure if she could get up. Or keep fighting. Her last attack had been a lucky one. She hadn't known if she could do it. Judging by Sammi paying attention to her, the fight was over. So maybe they could get out of here before people investigated...

But her back hurt so much... Marielle wanted to get up, to return to the ship under her own power. She could feel blood oozing out of the wound and onto her clothing.

'Blade sharpened. Arrows restocked. Need to make more bullets for my revolver,' Alaena thought methodically, looking down at her three weapons that were on the table before her. Once she had dropped off Yezeku, she had gone into her room briefly to gather supplies before moving up to the medical room. After patching herself up, she had started to work on maintaining her weapons.

'Because this night is certainly not over yet.' There were still marines and the other crew members running about through the city; sometimes she even heard parts of the fights happening from inside the ship. 'I'll be back out there soon enough unless I'm needed here,' she told herself, placing all of her weapons back to their respective holder one at a time. Her primary job while riding with this crew was to provide medical care for the crew members.

"I might be needed more here," she muttered, leaning back into her chair and closing her eyes; the thoughts of the marines nearby keeping her from falling asleep.

 

[NeoAC]

"Fuck," Sammi cursed as she looked around the alleyway. Holik was still writhing in pain and the gun-toting ***** was all tied up at the moment. "Give me one sec to clean this up and we'll get back to the ship. Get ya fixed up."

Holik was already off to the side, so he was free to continue burning in agony. Gun-***** can use a little more punishment though. She looked up, the moonlight not illuminating much, but there was a rafter on a house near where her package laid. Guess that'll work.

Sammi flung her left arm towards the rafter and a length of rope shot up and over the beam. She had it wrap around a couple of times before descending down to the ground where Annabelle was. The rope joined it's brothers, constricting around her legs and intertwining with the other ropes before tying itself off. Once it was secure, Sammi had the Marine raised up, feet first as she dangled from the rafter. She stopped as her upside-down face came to Sammi's eye level.

"Now you're going to stay here and hang out while we go get some medical attention and get out of here. Also, while you're lucky Blue can still move, you're not so lucky that she's looking more red now. So," she violently jabbed her right hand, still clutching her axe, forward. The sudden pop to Annabelle's face busted her nose, and a second one caught her teeth. A couple of them fell onto the ground below. "Now you get to be as ugly as Holik was. If you force me to see my own handiwork again, I'll be taking your heart out instead of your teeth. Now go and tell that to your little ***** bosses. Maybe I'll get a proper bounty this time."

Satisfied with her parting job, Sammi rushed back over to where Marielle was and slowly helped her to her feet. She kept one arm pressed against Marielle's back while she draped her arm over hers. "Come on Blue, we're getting out of here. You just gotta hang on for a little bit...I think. Where the fuck is the ship again?"

 

[GoWithDAFro]

Expecting a punch, Yoje was caught off guard by Hippocrates attack, and only barely managed to sidestep out of the way in human form. "Blood control?" Yoje faked a punch to Hippocrates head, then ducked and spun, attempting to sweep out his legs.

 

[CounterAttack]

Another series of pained groans came from Marielle as she was helped to her feet. "Ohh... Oh, hell, that hurts," she whined as Sammi applied pressure to her back. It was probably to stem the flow, but it stung when she did so.

"Come on Blue, we're getting out of here. You just gotta hang on for a little bit...I think. Where the fuck is the ship again?"

"It's... I think it's that way," she mumbled, trying to point with her free hand. The trouble was, it was shaking so much that it just flopped back down to her side. Sammi carefully helped her along, giving words of encouragement as she did so, and the two eventually found their way back to the markets. From there it was a couple more turns until they found the docks: by now, Marielle was sweating heavily, her face pale from the exertion of just standing and walking.

"Shouldn't... be much farther..." Marielle eked out. She felt so weak now... she couldn't see straight. Her vision began to blur. She rested her head on Sammi's shoulder... and then the world went black.

[hr]

"Oh, fuck!" Sammi swore as Marielle went weak at the knees and half-collapsed, held up only by the older pirate. She promptly hoisted the passed-out redhead into her arms, keeping pressure on the wound, and began to leg it towards the ship. She needed to get Blue to the doc.

God, I hope I wasn't this damn weak when I was shot...

 

[NeoAC]

It was lucky Marielle was was able to guide them to the proper docks before she passed out. Sammi was able to take it from there as Peter's custom job on the Governor's old ship made it stand out rather easily compared to the others. The plank was down already, a bit surprising considering the seemingly heavy Marine presence, but now as not the time to be questioning leadership methods.

Sammi rushed aboard as quickly as she could but she may have overestimated her strength in taking Marielle as she did. The combined effects of having to deal with the ***** who did this and her former comrade had sapped a lot of her energy. She managed to get onto the deck and rushed to the back of the ship. With no arms free, she resorted to kicking the door as best she could.

"Captain! Open up! Kind of important out here! If the doc is in, I'm pretty sure she's necessary for this one!"

You're going to be OK Marielle. Hang on. You're not going down because of me.

 

[SkyeNeko]

Just as she was starting to loose hope, there was the sound of someone rushing towards the ship. Cecilia ducked into one of the shadows, her gun ready. Two women came out, going up the plank to one of the ships. One of them looked hurt. Is that them? There's no one else out here... w-what if it's an innocent citizen who got hurt in the crossfire? That's when her Den Den Mushi started to pick up something again.

"Captain! O...p! ... important ... If the doc is in... she... y for thi... one!"

They were with whoever took Yezuku! She had to get some help! Cecilia switched lines, trying to get a hold of any of the other Marines.
