Nikolai whistled with a smile as he began walking forward. "wow... Girl's got some balls." He said with a laugh, realizing he didn't even need to lift a finger in that situation. "I could barely even follow what you were getting onto there," he said to her. "Well, JJ," he smiled and shook his head. "Guess we should probably get out of here... Seriously though, who knew you could do THAT kind of thing? Why didn't you use it back when we were out in the yard? Probably would have saved us a boatload of trouble!" He laughed as he walked right out of the front door to the prison.

Outside, a single man was standing. "Well this looks interesting..." Nikolai mumbled, feeling an odd presence to the stranger. The new man stood at around 6'2, which was certainly taller than the young escapee, even if not by much. "This guy... He's got an odd feel to him..."

"So, I take it that you two prisoners are the ones causing a ruckus in my prison?" The man asked, his eyes sharp in spite of his age, which looked to be at least 50 from the greying of his hair which had an unfortunate pair of stripes overtop that made it look like he was wearing a skunk's tail on his head.

"And if we are?" Nikolai asked, holding both weapons at the ready.

"Then you're far too dangerous for me to allow you to continue to run around unattended." The man spoke drawing a blade. "I'll detain the both of you and have you sent somewhere better suited to dealing with riffraff such as yourselves... Perhaps Impel Down?"

"..." Nikolai grimaced as he raised the rifle. "Like hell!" He shouted, pulling the trigger and firing on the man. What happened next caught him completely by surprise. He was positive he'd hit the man square in the chest, but just as it happened, he felt something sharply graze his cheek, leaving behind a burning sensation. "What... A devil fruit?" He asked, eyes wide.

"Do you have any last words?" The man asked, holding up his blade, completely unperturbed by the shot fired.
