Ophelia

"Excuse but before you accept any other offers, i challenge you to a duel" She grabbed the woman's shoulder making her face her.

In front of the chef was Ophelia, bowing with honor, ready to be rejected or accepted. She hoped that this woman would accept the offer, not only would it honor her, but it would also be of a great help to her better her skills. Even though she had no desire to be the strongest, she had the desire to at least try. This woman who she was bowing i front of was definitely strong, she could feel it in the soup, the meat, the rice and the vegetables.

"Please honor my request by at least fighting me in another time, if this time is not to your liking or if i am being an inconvenience." She said in addition.

It was not like her to have this form of speech, it was just something that she had grown accustomed to. This thing which came from her blood origin, an island which honors fighting and strength. Not the brutality, but the forms, the rules, and the honorable desire to show true spirit. Much like her origins, she showed true determination and an honest expression of being a strong woman.

As Anastasia was about answer this Euro guy who apparently was a pirate, a woman came forth and asked for a duel with her. "W-What? Ya want to duel me! Oh I probably couldn't put up much of a fight really!" That was a huge lie. Anastasia was actually hard to beat in a fight. The reason for this was because of her devil fruit ability. She had the Mera Mera no Mi. Though she has had it for two years of her life, she still had trouble controlling it and she hasn't really unlocked all the attacks she could do with it! That was one of the other reasons she wanted to join a pirate crew! I mean being a marine you could get lots of training and fighting experience but at least with pirates it'd be a lot more interesting.
Anastasia thought about it for a little while. Well duelling this girl would be fun I guess....plus it could count as some training....plus we might not have time later to duel at another time! "After giving this some thought I guess I will duel you!" She said with a smirk on her face. Anastasia looked at the Euro guy again. "We'll talk later okay! I wanna see how good this girl is! She said. Anastasia grabbed her messenger bag. Her knives and bo staff were in this bag, along with some other stuff, but she would need the knives and maybe the bo staff if she decided to use it.

Caliber took one long drag of his cigar, his eyes closed and his mouth tasted the oaky smoke that gathered in his mouth and with a sigh of relief exhaled a dark cloud of smoke. He was sitting on the bow of the ship which Caliber himself had carved into the head of a shark, it was one of many pieces of art that decorated his ship. He looked up high to see his pirate flag and sail decorated with the 'Redcoat Pirate', this was his personal symbol to all other pirates on the sea's, it was Caliber's identity and the sign of his strong crew who were determined to become the best on the seas. Though recently a large number of his crew had retired and returned to normal lives on land, Caliber was looking for new crewmates to carry on the Redcoat name and he would be accepting only the strongest. He finished his cigar and tossed the bot into the ocean, he slowley walked down the ship's gangplank and onto the dock the ship was anchored at. Loguetown, he had not been here for years in fact the last time he was here was when he joined his first crew, back when he was still a rookie.

The sun beat down on his leathery hide and he grinned and girnded his dagger-like teeth together in anticipation, he was excited to see his crew new and old and await the stories of their day in Loguetown. All he had to do was wait.

As Satanio reaches the marine-base the chaos goet completed, two guys running from a wild bunch of marines which shoots, slashes and yells at them, it seems both of them are pirates or atleast skilled bandits.
One one of them scream something like run at Satanio as he runs by and suddenly he is shocked....it was THAT guy..that guy who broke his pride just minutes ago, the guy which is called Panda or something like that, the guy who ignored him, the guy who shot a random person in a bar, that guy...
Well those marines have kinda the same thoughts but not only that because the guy told him to run, they now think that Satanio would one of them and before he could even recognize he is sourounded by marines, their guns pointed at him and their swords drawn.
More and more anger comes up Satanio´s mind "first he makes fun of me... and now... HE IS DOING THIS" Suddenly the aura of the normally cheerfull person begins to heaten up, the black cloathes are getting even darker and the skull on his together with his belts and buttons are turning red.
Satanio gets in a fighting position, his sword upon his head and both his hands are holding the shaft, in the light of the sun the shadow of Satanio looks like a 7 headed dragon, shivering and always moving.
By thigtening his grip as the marines where about to charge him, the shadow seem to change again, now a three headed beast. No wind, not a sound, even the breathing from the marines where about to stop. The peace before the storm.
With a scream which could make bone shiver Satanio whirls around
"CEBERUS!!!"
The Marines which just reached him collapsed and some further away got knocked back against those behind them, with that simply attack Satanio created a gap of 5m around him.
"Now...lets end this" His aura gets even more evil and the marines step back, scared about the individual that now killed 5 of them and knocked more K.o and send even more flying.
"Bye" with a move where he moves his middle and index finger from his head towards the marines Satanio start to run after the two guys he just encountered secounds ago...
The marines are quiet stunned by this move and stay unsure on their spots, confused by the sudden act they just saw.

"I...I think there's a way to silence a gun..." Talon replied to the Captain. "I don't know if it would make it completely silent, though..."

------------------------------------

Togg, Jonny and Hickory passed the marine base, then they heard fighting. "We should check that out." Togg said, changing the direction of the patrol.

They headed towards the marine base, and found plenty of marines knocked out on the floor. They looked ahead, and saw three men running away. Togg recognized one of them. It was the Pandi guy!

"Take aim, and fire!" Togg shouted. Him, Jonny and Hickory all pulled out rifles, and fired at the three figures.

[FullM00n]

Eqi didnt care about almost starving to death neither for the fact that most marines of Loguetown were now after them.He only wanted to escape with his life no matter what.For that reason he was running like there was no tomorrow.Then he thought about his savior's friend, a fellow swordsman.

He had to admit that his previous display was impressing.He took out many marine dogs with a single swipe of his wooden sword."Hey you!" he yelled while running and bullets raging from all directions."You seem a pretty good swordsman.Fight me once I regain my strength!" he added.The swordsman's honor code demanded that one who carries a sword must use everything at his disposal to better himself.And this man would definitely make him better.

[Pacifista]

As Pandi and Eqi ran for the door, it suddenly burst open. However, the path outside was blocked by three Marines, Janet centering, her foot raised, as she had just kicked it inwards. Seeing the numerous bodies, mostly nearby patrol groups whom heard the alarm go off, she flinched, knowing many of them were likely dead, having been cut up by at least one of the two swordsmen. She was glad to see that the group with Togg was here and still fighting.

With six against three, the Marines had a slight advantage, but the gunner was unpredictable, and the swordsmen dangerous, judging by the wounds on the fallen Marines. “You two, get with the other group over there and keep the swordsmen pinned: don’t engage otherwise! Leave the gunner to me,” Janet ordered to Talon and Kel. She took a step forward and began stretching her arms, limbering up.

“So, what grudge have you got with restaurant goers, big hat?” Janet said to Pandi, not intending to allow him an easy escape.

[PinnyThePanda]

Pandi smirked, having his pretty much impressive plan fail..He glanced at janet, and exclaimed with a rather confidence face "No Grudges" his hands still dug deep in his pockets, a smile stretched across his face..as pandi began a session of laughter, In the chance of grasping his new opponent's ability..he simply said "I know, I know you marines think that I'm a pirate..Foolish, Such foolish act, But eh what would i expect from useless junk like all of you, eh?like if i kill you, No benefit." the smile was shifted into a grin, seemingly grabbing the grip of his pistol out, as he pointed it out..

Pandi wasn't pretty much scared, danger and caustiousness wasn't something he would rather feel, but that didn't cover his merciless acts.

[FiroIV]

She smiled as the woman made her decision to accept her challenge. Just as she went to grab her things she faced the man who offered a job to the woman. The way he talked, sat and the one time she glanced ate, all felt arrogant. This man felt rich, and she could feel the arrogance from him. As she inspected him closer she her feelings changed, he would still be pompous, but now she saw just a flicker of kindness. She decided it would be best to apologize seeing as she did intrude on their conversation.

"I apologize that your offer was left unanswered, but i hope you can understand that duel is something warriors need to do" She bowed slightly to show the rich man some respect.

"If you wish to watch, i will not refuse you to do so. However the outcome of this match is still unclear, so best be warned of danger." She stood back normally with a straight face.

"I will now take my leave for the duel, please do not try to stop us, Goodbye" She bowed once more and left for the outside of the restaurant.

Just as she left, she watched the woman gather her stuff. It reminded her that she herself has something which she requires for battle, her staff and equipment. She hurried back to the table where she ate, there she found her belonging. She watched the woman exit the restaurant, she followed her out.

"Hello, thank you for accepting my challenge. My name is Ophelia, and i wish for you to duel with me with all your strength." She bowed in front of her to show respect.

Bowing was something she developed on her own. Back in her hometown, where she was one of the few female warriors she wanted to show how much respect she had for the others. She wanted to ensure that they would not treat her as a child and as a female but as an opponent who had something to prove.

[FullM00n]

"I dont have time for this." Eqi whispered seeing the marines aiming at them from both sides.Plus this woman was of higher rank than the rest of them and probably stronger too.Afterall she did kick the big old wooden door open.The last door he said to himself and considered his options.

I could always run for it and pray to whoever listens he thought but doubted that the marines were so bad at aiming that they wouldnt get him.His other option was of course to fight even though he didnt know how much he would last as he was a little more than exhausted."You wouldnt just let us go, right?" he said referring to her."Out of the kindness of your heart?" he added and looked up to the sky.Even for these brief moments he was free.And there was no way he was returning to his cell alive.Absolutely no way.

[Spuds31]

Both Talon and Kel had their guns aimed at the swordsman, ready to fire at any moment. Togg, Jonny and Hickory were behind the swordsman and the gunner. The two were surrounded.

Talon butted into the conversation. "Why would we let you go? You're breaking out of the marine base! You've already knocked out a lot of out allies!" he said angrily.
