Location: Between White Bay Port (Shore) and Main Plaza

As Yoki got closer to the Main Plaza, he heard more and more rumors form the clearly shocked rookie pirates. "Did you hear? Some winged guy launched blasts of airMoto Moto, using some . Just as he decided to check that out some other news could be overheard."Some samurai near the Executioners Platform shot fire from his katana!" "They must have eaten Devil Fruits." "If that's true, that makes four of us on this Island. Interesting.

Since the crowd was already nervous about Devil Fruit Users, they left the giant snakeman alone. This gave Yoki the time to think over his options, after a while he decided to check out the fight between Moto Moto and the "Winged Guy". "If I'm lucky the winner is weakened enough for me to beat them easily, that should practically ensure my position on a good crew. With that in mind, Yoki continued on his way.

What he didn't know though was that in the meantime the spear user had managed to find enough water to get the venom out off his eyes, and had convinced his dagger using partner that the Snakeman clearly wasn't as tough as he looked. Using the fact that a cross between a human and a snake stood out in any crowd, the two followed him at a distance. As soon as they saw a chance, they were gonna attack him and get their revenge. This chance came when it looked like he was lost in thought for a bit.

Yoki's planning was interrupted when suddenly the shaft of a spear got pressed against his throat from behind. The owner of the spear put in enough force, that Yoki breathe couldn't. In an attempt to escape the stranglehold, he turned his head thus freeing up his windpipe. This not only allowed him to take shallow breaths, but also caused him to see the dagger user who tried to attack him from the side.

Using one of his batons, Yoki blocked the dagger. But when he tried to strike back, he noticed that the pressure still on his throat prevented him from using Poison Spit. Using the opening caused by the failed attack, his opponent stabbed him in the hand. Angrily Yoki managed to wrap his tail around the guy behind despite the sudden jolt of pain.

By lifting him in the air Yoki escaped from the stranglehold. Wanting to defeat them both at once he threw his victim at his partner and knocked them both out. Not satisfied with just knocking them out and wanting to prevent them from coming after him again, he wrapped his tail around both of his attackers and dragged them along .

Rem

"No way." Rem looked at Edge with a seemingly offended look. "This is my fight, not yours. I'd rather die on my own than win with your help!" He placed his boater hat down a bit to cover his eyes, to add a sort of dramatic effect. "What sort of future pirate king needs help from weird purple guys?" While he spoke without a tremble in his voice, being near them gave him the sensation of imminent danger.

Edge and the executioner both felt similar to Rem's former captain. The first time they met, Rem felt as if he was staring death right in the face. While he came to admire the captain after spending some time on the ship, Rem would never forget their first meeting. The crew was just done pillaging the village Rem's troupe was performing at, stealing the money the performers had earned as well. In a fit of rage, Rem ran his mouth off to the captain. When the man faced him, Rem was sure he would be killed. His genial attitude towards him made it all the more frightening, getting kidnapped was probably the best outcome of the events.

Rem tips his hat up, his eyes now visible. "Hey, executioner, I don't want to fight on the platform." He now had a wide smile once again. "The platform won't be able to survive the beating you'll get!" Rem lets out a hearty laugh, the temporary moment of seriousness he had now coming to an end. Rem briefly turns around to look at what Gold Roger had seen on the day of his death, that HAD been his original goal after all.

He jumps from the tall platform, taking note of the swordsman that shot fire with his swords. Using his incredibly logical line of thinking Rem quickly determined that because blades were cool, and fire has the ability to make near everything look cooler, the swordsman was twice as cool as a result! He gives the man an interested glance, he would definitely convince him to join his crew!

While Rem is distracted, two more rookie pirates try their luck at attacking him. Rem catches on to them fast and punches them both in the face, once again not bothering to use his power. "Hey!" Rem began yelling as loud as he could. "Don't interrupt my fight!" He ordered the rest of the rookies. Some of them seemed frightened by his power, others seemed mostly indifferent or annoyed by his boisterous personality. "Executioner! Come down here!" He points at Cheshire.

"After I beat you, I'm starting my own crew!"

Edge
Hmm. He called me weird. The way he lowered his hat made it very dramatic, making Rem seem more and more like a friendly rival. If it wasn't for the fact the Edge liked him, he would've killed him. "Okay then, but please, don't get yourself killed." Edge lowered his hand and stood aside so that Rem could get off the platform. Edge gave him a smile as Rem walked past and jumped off the platform.

Edge looked over to the crowd now, seeing more and more unique people. There was someone with a fiery sword and what looked like a hybrid snake, many things he could do if he was on his team. There was an explosion of dust as what seemed to be an epic wind attack. He could see maybe about 10 people try and run back to the docks. There was an explosion that just so happen to leave a lot of smoke. Giving Edge a perfect idea.

Loathing cowards, Edge took this opportunity to teach them not to run. Edge raised both his arms at the explosion and the smoke started to gather, it was huge now, leaving an eerie shadow of the plaza, he shouted so all could hear, "Kemuri no Kuraudo Teikudaun!" (Smoke Cloud Takedown!). The cloud now sped across the sky and came into the ground leading to the docks, almost in a sweeping motion taking the cowards with it, dropping from about 6 stories. The smoke faded into nothing and Edge turned to Cheshire, "If you don't kill him, there'll be a nice reward after all this," giving him a smile as he said so.

After taking out some more fodder, he placed his katana on his should and sighed. "Beating up the weak is no fun at all. So tiring...." With a yawn, he heard the voice of an loud woman and turned around. There stood an angry blonde woman in a white clothing that was stained with a blackened hole. Staring at the dark spot, "So that's what kids are into these days. You should probably change..." Blatantly acting oblivious, figuring he done it again.

Hearing another loud sound, and completely ignoring the woman, he looked back at the platform only to see the same boy jumping off the platform. Ahh, the youth these days... Not only that, the boy gave him a strange look, falling no less. Uhhh.... Not wasting any time, a couple of pirates went after him as soon as he landed. Despite being distracted and unarmed, he took them down with crushing blows as he then yelled at the nearby pirates before once again running his mouth to Cheshire. Can't fault the kid for any lack of confidence, he's got that in spades. Kurama couldn't help but laugh at the kid. "He's a strange one, that's for sure. "

Still ignoring the woman, he turned towards the lot on the left. "Might as well...." Raising and igniting his sword again, he launched it at the mob.

As she saw the Samurai ignite his sword, Yui gritted her teeth. This is the guy! With her attack already prepared, she yelled at him. "Hey, I'm talking to you!" Realizing she would probably not get an answer anyway, she began to scream furiously as she made her attack. Kaze no Buretto!!! (Wind Bullet!)

She threw a quick jab at the man's flaming sword just as he was about to make his attack, sending a gust of air towards the flames, hoping to extinguish them. She immediately followed up with another punch in the direction of the man's face, attempting to knock him over with a blast of air. Finally, she used a regular elbow attack to deal with the lowly pirate scum that tried to sneak up to her from behind; but still kept her livid gaze towards the man with the sword.

While Yoki was still looking for the for the fight between Moto Moto and the winged guy, the actions at the Executioners Platform caught his attention. Mainly because Edge was still there and he had considered joining his crew, believing the notorious psycho would allow him to take his revenge. After rethinking it, he decided that impressing Edge was easier by keeping close to him.

So he changed direction, spitting poison in the eyes of any pirate that came too close, in order to both show his cruelty and the fact that these guys really were no challenge. Eventually he got close enough to the platform that he believed his preferred captain would hear him. " Edge if you let me join your crew, I'll tell you about a rich Noble we can rob blind!" Of course Yoki knew that yelling that with so many pirates around, including some high level ones, wasn't smart but it was the easiest way to grab any pirate's attention.

Edge's eyes lit up. Hmm, a rich noble. This is a very interesting one. Edge didn't take long to reply and shouted out "Welcome snake man, to the crew of The Scurvy Demons!" He could see that this snake fellow was actually being set up for a trap. Hmm. He looked at the situation and acted accordingly. Without thinking, Edge dove off of the platform, head first and had no indication he was going to change his decent. Speeding towards the ground he hit the upcoming ground below. He exploded into a massive cloud of smoke, creating the perfect cover. The smoke almost covered the battle. People coughed and people fell, "Come snake man, show me what you got." And with that the smoke started to clear up, heading into a single direction. The smoke formed again into the weird purple guy. The snake man was once surrounded by almost 10 pirates. Edge was waiting for this mans abilities to be shown.
