Interacting: [@Ira] [@LokiLeo789] [@malmshodes] [@Hillan] [@Pacifista] As the smoke started to clear I rushed to another side of the ship, not dealing with Xerxes and the marine for the time being. It was futile, Xerxes was essentially defeated, Melany didn't have anything to stop the marines, and Marxo was unconscience. However I refused to allow not only myself, but the crew that I now serve from such a fate. We were pirates, we were made to be free from law and shackles, at least that is what his family taught him. Even if they don't execute us a fate in prison to a true pirate is a fate worse then death. We were scum, but we were scum that will not be rubbed clean so easily. At the very least, I did not want to endanger my crew anymore than they already were for my next plan of actions, so I had to be quick about it. I can sacrifice myself, but not my family with me. I'd slam over the massive, half the size of a house, bag of mostly fruit and vegetables over the boat, surprisingly it wasn't that badly on fire, and the sea water soon splashing over it kept it from further damaging the sac. floating in the water only half submerged like an iceberg. I'd throw both Melany and Marxo onto the floating bag, albeit my eyes still hazy from the still present smoke. Once freed from my grip, my entire body would erupt into what appeared to be a pillar of fire all around every inch of my scales. While the flames spread to the smoke my own fire focused and pressurized around my own body, to the point that a strong constant breeze was ever present around my inferno of a body. I'd roar as the ship began to tear apart from my own weight and heat. I hoped the smoke wasn't to bad for them, hopefully they can walk it off. At this moment, it was sink or swim, literally, though a devil fruit user like myself and this marine cannot perform the latter. The bag was soaked in sea water, which probably wouldn't help the health of Marxo but there was nothing I could do about that, and my heart sank when i noticed through the clearly smoke a navy ship approaching. It was now the two of us on the boat, and with a single punch I would smash the already torn boat into several large burning chunks, waves rising and crashing, which would catch the bag and send it off some distance away from the wreckage. My size was now a disadvantage as I was now stranded on a large though sinking debris of the ship, the fire still around me didn't help. I was already exhausted of my own ability, the sea water splashing over me didn't help. The flames started to die down. I was desperate, and perhaps such desperation pays off, as I would leap off from my previous chunk of wreckage to another, until performing a leap that would seem impossible onto the makeshift raft of a bag with my other crew, shrinking into my human form mid air. The only conceivable land mass was the island archipeligo we were just one, so if my crew had another chance to escape, it would be there. After what I planned to do next, they were on there own, and they would likely be at the mercy of more marines, but there was nothing else I can do for them. I'd unmask myself, and exhaled a massive torrent of flames to the water, creating a brief engine that would send the ship back to another island of the archipeligo in almost the same speed marxo had performed, albeit with a slower drag time after the speed boost wore off. However as I stopped the breathe attack we were passing the navy ship, and I would leap off of the raft and onto the vessel of the enemy, transforming again into my beast form and landing with such a thud from weight and force that the entire ship nearly dunked bow first into the water before tilting back up in a rapid, tremor-like dissarray. As I made my landed, I gave a tremendous roar before my exhausted panting became clear. [color=82ca9d]"You will not capture the rest of the Sunny Massacre pirates!"[/color] I shouted, still some vigor in my endurance. [color=82ca9d]"Your only chance is to take me down! good luck with that![/color]" I spewed a breathe of fire onto a section of the ship's deck before bracing a more defensive stance, tail ready and arms braced.
