[IC] One Piece: Tales of a Lost Era

[malmshodes]

Abigail got through the outside of the B-block pretty quickly. There were a few marines that she was able to quickly subdue, but most of them were outside frantically looking for the cause of distress. She was lucky, they probably hadn't found the unconscious soldiers, because from there it wouldn't even be a matter of minutes before they realized someone was inside. On the second floor, she stopped. There were three marines right in front of the cell she was looking for. One of the men were sleeping, and the other two were looking at him, unsure of what they should do about the sleeper. There was no time to hesitate, or point in doing it, so The red headed woman rushed forward. "Get out of my way!" She commanded, racing towards the men, hoping to knock them out and get them out of the fight before the higher ranking marine realized what was going on.

She was on them before they could figure out what was going on. One of them tried to call out, but she decked him hard enough to crack concrete, and kneed the other in the crotch as his mind did its best to catch up with the sudden change in circumstances.

Zuzu friend pulled one of the guns they used and was set out to shot the still singing annoyment in the leg. That plan didnt happen as rigth about then silently unnoticeable he walked up in front of them.
Zuzu saluted to the man watching him as he slumped against the bars and continue sleeping?...Well that was normal for him. He gave a look to his friend who sighed to himself and was about to set the marine standard gun down when someone else suprised them. Today was quite busy.

Moments after a hot looking girl called out to them she smashed Zuzus friend into the hallway floor. ''You s-'' you shouldnt be here woman He attempted to say before he got to see stars and flashes of white covering his vision. Dropping with a pitifully whine to his knees and curling up in fetal position he only managed to assume she was probably a hot pirate woman who may be the reason he never be able to have children.

The last of the guards attempted to attack the intruder with his sword, held in shaking arms. ''S-stop'' The man stuttered eyeing the sleeping figure in front of Angelos cell more than the female in front of him.

On the ground floor - Office

His brow twitched. He was not yet done with the paperwork. He was playing nice tolerating the low sounds of the awful singing. Probably only done by one idiot. But now he made a ink spot on the papers thanks to something like a crash, more like a thump? Were the guards now involved in a brawl? It was enough He would count to 10 and if the second floor didnt fall completely silent he would go up there personal.
The officer Koja wrapping his fingers around his trusty sword,started counting mentally and slowly from one to ten.

[Jangel13]

Angelo kept signing ignoring them and he laughed seeing the hot pirate wench take down the guards with little effort then "ooo" when she hit the guy in the crotch even to an enemy that was harsh to a dude that nearly made Angelo clutch his own crotch and he laughed now this is awesome, okay now get me out of here and get me those guns I need and we can leave out of here. then you will have the worlds best gunslinger at your disposal Angelo said smiling getting close to the cell bars waiting to see if the woman had a key or something to get him out and since their were 3 guards taken down next to him that would be 3 guns at the very least he has. All he needs is the pistol he came in with and two more then Angelo would be set, he wanted that gun back the most because he was told it was the only thing his father left him so Angelo needed to have the one thing that his father gave him. Then Angelo will travel with this woman down wherever she asked, Angelo never forgot a debt...

[malmshodes]

"Stop?" Abigail turned from the man on the floor who may or may not father children in the future, and looked at the one who'd just drawn his sword. "Why would I do that, especially now when I'm just getting started?" It was a serious question. "Would you ask a race to stop mid-stride, or a bowler to stop right after he's rolled his ball, or a gambler right after he put in every last bit of his life savings on a hand he could almost not loose with? I don't think you would." Her right hand moved down to her hip, and there was a tearing sound as she pulled off the piece of fabric that was attached by some Velcro, revealing saber's sheath. "So now then." She raised the blade, and took a fighter's stance. "Your armed, and ready for battle. So am I. We can continue, or you, not I, may stop."

Her eyes shifted slightly to look at the prisoner. "I doubt your the world's best gunner, but your proficient enough to be confident, which is the best place to start if you'd like to be the best, and that's good enough for me. Now then, Please sit down and be silent." She motioned with her blade at the shaking marine. "I've got to deal with this first, and then there's the matter of the keys."

She turned her attention back to the marine. "By the way, do you have a set on you? If so, leave them here, or we could duel for them." Abigail smiled, and raised the blade in a salute. "AFter you young man."

[Jangel13]

Angelo simply laughed at how she was acting, she must be as confident as Angelo but he decided to leave a good first impression for her as he sat down and watched I know I will be the best gunslinger Angelo said smiling wishing he had some popcorn or something to eat while he watched his new captain go to work although he had huge doubts that the guy was going to last long considering how shaky he was...

((a collab post with @malmshodes))

The marine guard gulped, he had to be brave. He was a proud member of the marine. ''I would never tell you where the keys are, pirate s-scum.'' He raised his sword and run towards the woman in front of him.

Abigail sighed, and frowned a little. Yes, the marine was attacking her, but he wasn't really doing it with much gusto. "If your not going to put your heart into a fight, why fight?" She parried his blade without any trouble and sidestepped around, raising her own sword for a counter attack. "You'd just get yourself killed, and what good would that too?" Quickly she adjusted her grip on the handle, and swung at the man, but instead of cutting his face in half with the razor edge, she merely smashed the dull end into his cheek bone, possibly hard enough to break a few things, depending on how strong his bones were.

''I dont want to die!'' He whined quite loudly. ''Pirates kill on a whim anyway!'' He said, she was skilled in opposite to the few mounts of training he had with a sword. He was more than terrified with the pain in his cheeks, eyes tearing up, the sword he hold failed out his gasp as she counter attacked him. ''I...I will tell you w-where the keys are j-just dont kick or kill me!''
He really wished some of the higher ups come in and save the day already. He really looked up at them. ''D-down the hall in the cabinet on the wall. '' He closed his eyes hoping justice will catch up on the pirates soon. Well that thougth didnt stop him from shaking.

"Then don't." Abigail said, putting her sword away, and relaxing her posture so the man wouldn't think she was just going to cut his throat. How could she? There were times and places for delivering a fatal wound, and when a man was sobbing on the ground, half his face likely broken, he got a pass. "Okay. I don't doubt your telling me the truth so I'm going to believe you." She pointed down the hall. "Get out of here, and I mean out of HERE. I'm sure your aware of what'll happen to you if your superiors find out you gave me what I wanted after only a light slap on the cheek." She turned and started walking away. "It may be a shock to you, but pirates aren't the only ones who kill on a whim. The marines do it too, only they like to justify it with regulations."

The redheaded pirate walked down the hall, and found the key, it was right where the man said it was.

The voice telling to get out was only thing he really paid attention too, As he stood and started to walk away eyes drafting around the hallway where his friends were either ko or nearly ko, back to the still sleeping figure in front of Angelo cell. It would have been impressive how deep of a sleep he had. As she started to walk away he run for his life. The moment he was down he run and reported the jail break. A loud sirens was heard now in the whole building, a calm voice ordering every working solider to get to the B block of cells. He did his duty, a marine solider with a broken face was send to the infirmary, not to face the scary redhead again.

[malmshodes]

"Crap. Well, now the whole neighborhood knows." Abigail mumbled walking up to the gunner's cell, keys in hand. "Come on then, we'd better get going." She put the key in the hole, turned it, and pulled the door open on oiled hinges that didn't protest the least. "I can take on quiet a bit of men on my own, but the entire marine regime, that's going to be a stretch if there ever was one." She cocked her head to the left, listening. "We better go." She pointed down a hall, the opposite way from the sound of all the running feet. "Are you ready, or are you just going to stay there, and keep your cell mates company?" Without waiting for a reply, The red headed woman turned and started running down the long hallway.

[Jangel13]

Angelo grinned finally seeing the door open as she asked if he was coming or not but that all depended on what they had on them. They being the guards she took down and he searched their bodies to find 3 different pistols and it wasn't much but it was a start but Angelo growled a little noticing that his fathers pistol isn't on them. Angelo cant leave without it he simply cant, wait for me outside ill catch up. I need to go and get something they have of mine Angelo said simply to the woman as he ran towards the sounds of the guards running and he looked for their storage box of prisoners belongings and he knew his pistol would be their but he also knew their was probably a full regiment coming to cut him off or meet him their but as long as Angelo has some firearms he will be okay and hopefully he wont deal with the skunk until after he leaves this dump...

A yawn escaped the mouth of the guard who'd been sleeping the whole while. "Right, well, I've really heard all I need to hear." He said, stretching and removing his cap. "You know, young lady, it takes a lot of stones to try and break out a prisoner who I'd only just had incarcerated." He said to Abagail. "Now, I don't do this often, since it's rather an inefficient way to fight, but..." He threw out his arm, the limb stretching out to grab her by the wrist and drag her backward before she could get too far. "My name is Argos Rexx, and I am the captain in charge of this facility." He told her in a stern voice. "And who do you think you are to waltz in here and attack my men?"

[malmshodes]

The door way wasn't very far, and the woman had almost made it before something took a hold of her, and dragged her back. She didn't fight it though. The confrontation was bound to happen sooner or later so she relaxed and allowed for the lengthened limb to lead her back to the man in the chair. Abigail turned, and looked down to meet the man's eyes. There was no fear in her eyes, she was sure because she had no fear of the man. "My name is Abigail Lillian, leader of the Redblade pirate." She took a moment to before finally admitting that though is sounded bad she'd be honest and leave out the 'S' after pirate. The small captain's shoulders relaxed as She moved her sword, and angled it so the blade rested lightly on the man's neck. "And you captain Argos Rexx are either my prisoner, my opponent, or just a man who almost got in over his head."

[Jangel13]

Angelo ran down towards the steps and went down to the first floor and hugged a wall as a few navy dogs passed through trying to get the place under control and Angelo waited till they left and he ran towards the prisoners belongings area knowing it had to be in a chest somewhere so he tried to look for a vault or something that would hold all prisoners belongings who were only admitted for less then a day. unfortunately someone saw him and they proceeded to chase him but Angelo stood his ground and when they were in range he took out his pistols and shot them off killing 3 of them immediately and when the forth got close with his sword Angelo ducked the blade then gave him a hard uppercut. where did you put all my stuff Angelo asked angrily in the chest near the guards living quarters much obliged Angelo said to him before giving him another punch and knocking him out then he checked their pockets and they all had a pistol so now Angelo was up to 4 as he ran towards the guards barracks to get his gun...

[TalijaKey]

Ranger marine officer - Mlata

He was standing in front of the storage, Koja informed him that a jail break was happening. Mlata just nodded it made sense now that he saw the captain walk up there for his nap. There wouldnt be any need for worry that things will get settled quickly. Of course if someone slipped off the floor it would be up to them to stop them. Koja was patrolling while he Mlata went to check on a idea he had.

Several minutes later he was holding the old gun from the newest intake, checking the gun out. It was taken good care off. One could see the love one was giving it. Exactly the thing a young boy full of dreams would go after to retrieve, in his other hand a Telesnail. When gun shots were heard close by he whispered in the the den den mushi and put it safely back in his pocket awaiting the escapet to come to him. Playing with Angelos oldest gun while waiting.

The moment the boy came in the view he aimed the gun at him. ''Well look who came to visit.Did you happen to have lost something?'' The man innocently and happily pipped at Angelo.

[Jangel13]

Angelo saw the man was holding his fathers gun to him and that just pissed him off as he pulled out two guns on him throw me my fathers gun right now and I wont turn you into Swiss cheese. I will give you to the count of three to give me my gun otherwise this will not end well for you Angelo told him not wanting to be messed with when it comes to his fathers gun. It was the only thing he had of his father and he will not loose it to some navy dog that has the Gaul to try and take it away from him...

[TalijaKey]

Ranger marine officer - Mlata

''Angry tongue you have there. How about you asked nicely?This is important to you, isnt it? '' The man moved his hand letting the gun turn down and holding it examine. His fingers tapping on it. '' Tell me how old are you? You look too young to keep on soiling your hands with blood.''

The officer smiled reaching the hand holding Angelos gun towards him. Offering for him to take it. Till now the marine officer expect the first moment didnt looked at all like he was intending to fight. The other marines were calling out from the direction the jail breaker arrived. Mlata was sure they were now taking care of the wounded and death the boy left. They wouldnt have too much time before more people would join them. ''Are you good with the guns?'' He asked nonchalantly.

[Blaze Gamma]

"Hmm..." Rexx frowned. "The confidence of youth... The folly of thinking one can face the entire world if you have even a tiny bit of strength... That way of thinking has led far too many to senseless deaths. That is the path a pirate takes." He said, drawing a saber from his right hip. "You're not too far down this road to warrant death... So stand down!" He spoke, pointing the saber at Abagail's nose. The tip didn't seem to waver at all.

[Jangel13]

Angelo slowly moved toward the man and he quickly took the gun back now having his 5 pistols just one more and he would have a full set on his belt then he asked if Angelo was good with guns and Angelo gave a small grin almost evil like im 20 years old, my name is Angelo Ortega and when im done the world will know me for being the greatest gunslinger ever. don't follow me either cause I wont just hurt you ill kill you Angelo said and he obviously meant it from the look he had almost like a demons grin. Angelo started to wonder if he got that look from his father or not. Angelo quickly holstered the gun and started to run back to his savior knowing she must be caught up or something. However Angelo saw a whole platoon was after him so now Angelo started to run and gun shooting them down easily considering they crowded the halls...

[malmshodes]

"Hmm..." Rexx frowned. "The confidence of youth... The folly of thinking one can face the entire world if you have even a tiny bit of strength... That way of thinking has led far too many to senseless deaths. That is the path a pirate takes." He said, drawing a saber from his right hip. "You're not too far down this road to warrant death... So stand down!" He spoke, pointing the saber at Abagail's nose. The tip didn't seem to waver at all.

@BlazeGamma

The woman's cold eyes focused on the blade's end. "Well then, I guess there's no more need for words, are there?" Her thin lips curled into a vicious smile like two scimitar blades wielded together at the handle. "Good, because personally, I don't have much need for them." She took a step back and gave the old man a short bow before putting one hand behind her back, and assuming a fencing stance. "Now, engarde old man." She didn't wait for him to reply. She lowered the blade, and thrust it towards the man's heart.

[TalijaKey]

Mlata

The boy grabed the gun and all but run away. Feeling a bit sad that the young man didnt even wait for him to propose a fair challenge from one gun user to another, instead he all but run away and senselessly shot away his bullets. Taking the den den mushi he spoke into it. ''Hey Koja, he is coming your way. Apparently I am too nice. '' He said not waiting for the response he started to walk stopping once he reached the soldiers nearly bleeding to death some received fatal shots. He called the medic teams and told them were to come to ensure as little life as possible get lost.

Koja

Koja was waiting in the shadow around the corner his sword pulled out. It was a long thing sword giving him the reach he liked so much. The gun shots were coming near. The man steps were coming closer and closer and passed him,He got in a low stance and sprinted out the corner flanking Angelo from the side his aim on the mans right shoulder. He could have aimed to kill but didnt see the worth of it at this moment. Making him unable to use his arms will do. The man pulling away giving more room, to not get cut up by their higher up by mistake.

[Jangel13]

Angelo kept running shooting at the men then he realized that someone was flanking him with a really long sword so Angelo quickly tried to dodge it but it came to late and Angelo all got cut in his shoulder but he could still use his arm. Angelo quickly turned and gave him another shot but he didn't shoot to kill knowing the sword man was doing the same Angelo simply aimed for the swordsman shoulder so they would both be hit. Angelo didn't run as he clutched his shoulder and he quickly ripped his sleeve to make a makeshift wrap around his bleeding shoulder. Then Angelo pointed his gun at the swordsman wondering if he had the intention of killing or talking

[TalijaKey]

Koja started to shift his stance readying to attack, his shoulder which the bullet hit wet his white uniform with a red spot. He shifted the swords weight in the healthy arm. There was a moment of silent observation before Koja aimed to kill. Well he never got to attack as a voice called him out making him stop even before he properly started to swing.

''Koja Girl dont go killing the boy!'' There was a irritation for the stupid nickname his friend Mlata used. He stayed in his stance like a spring under tension. Mlata took over the talking. ''Young man, its not nice for you to run off like that when I was trying to be nice. Now see what you did to youself running into Koja.''

Mlata shock his head keeping his distance from both a gun was in his own hand, the hands playing with it. '' You know Our captain Rexx he is a good man he would pardon you if you surrender now. Doesnt a carrier at the navy not sound lot better than having to run away from us?''

Koja rolled his eyes at Mlata. ''He killed already several mans, there is not second chance for him left. Everything will be over once his neck is cut open.''

''Angelo was it? You know you got Koja pretty angry, Think about it for a moment mmm?'' Mlata said walking slowly to some boxes leaning against them, it was clear the ranger was used to giver cover to his sword friend.
