RainerRainer, beginning to look a bit pale, nodded. His leg was still bleeding. The wound didn't look fatal as there wasn't a fountain of blood drenching everyone nearby, but it did look like it would need to be treated, and soon.
"Right." Rainer said, swallowing a lump in his throat. A Legion pirate, as if noticing his weakness, began moving towards him, sword drawn and thrust forwards with the intent of piercing the man's chest. Sure, his heart would've been ideal, but it had gotten to the point where the crew of the Legion pirates would've been happy doing any damage at all. The more blood they could draw the better.
"Seriously" Rainer moved forward, making sure to put all his weight on the leg that wasn't damaged and parried the amateur blow. "What's up with you guys? There rabbits underneath those masks? How could there be so many?" The Legion pirate's sword flew out of his hand. Before the man could react the fishman continued forwards, slamming his sheathed sword into the man's chest, hard enough to break ribs and sending him flying across the platform they were sharing.
The swordsman turned to the tiny woman in red and gave her a nod. "There's little doubt you're right in that area, but where exactly is the captain? So far all we've seen are grunts. There don't seem to be any officers or any form of hierarchy aside from the numbers on their masks!"
@Shiyonichi"I'm here!" Mr. 3 shouted. "All you have to do is come and get me." It was easier said than done as dozens of the Legion members swarmed towards Red-Eyes. The majority of them were carrying improvised weapons such as boards or chains, but a few in there had swords.
As the enemy pirates with melee weapons swarmed towards Red-Eyes apparently intent on taking them out, nearly silent creaks could be heard from above the fray. Tiny platforms were lowered, no bigger than the size of an average door, and the dangerous ends of rifles pointed downwards towards the fray.
"What the hell!" ABbygail muttered, looking up at the guns, between dodges and slashes. "These guys aren't playing around, any more? Were they holding back for some reason?" As if to answer her question, without a coherent reply, the guns opened fire, with most of the shots aimed towards the swordswoman as she seemed to be the one sending the most Legion pirates to a bloody afterlife!
"Damn it!" Abbygail shouted, as she shot off from the ground like a spring. "Keep your balls of my maybe baby!" Before any of the riflemen could change their targets, Abbygail reached the nearest platform and cut the man from shoulder to hip, and with a might kick, sent both halves plummeting to the ground below. The purple haired woman didn't waste time watching to see the body parts splatter on the ground, she was already shooting off to the closet platform for another kill.

"Crap! Crap! Crap!" Mr. 3 wheezed as he spun on his hill and began hurrying down the nearest door. "This is bad! This bad!" He put his hands over where his mouth would be and began calling. "Scrub it! Scrub everything! Everyone that's not busy getting banged up, grab a torch and begin lighting the fuses. Don't worry about the whole going in order thing. Just blast it all up." The man shoved several legion pirates who had become confused and disoriented to reach into one of the secret compartments, where he found a torch waiting. He quickly lit it up and shoved it to the nearest pirate. "Take this to blast room C, and blow it up." He shoved the man forwards before continuing on, yelling his orders again, and again.
"Got to sink the life boat. Sink the life boat!" Mr. Three shouted after getting everyone he needed a torch. "Got to sink the lifeboat!"
@KillBox"Up to no good?" The pirate winced as pain flooded his body. "We're pirates. That's literally our default state." He winced again as moving caused his injuries to seem a thousand times worst than what they were. "So i'd assume us being up to no good was obvious." He took in a deep breath, and would've spit, but remembering the masked swallowed instead. "Oh that's gross." There would've been more but a massive explosion, unlike anything that had gone on prior eructed, making the whole ship quake.
"Well there." The man laughed as another huge blast of gunpowder causes the south most part of the ship to fly of in a barrage of debris. "There you go! If that doesn't explain then maybe you should stick around to see what'll happen from here."
@grandia20For a moment the legion pirate paused, not expecting to see the man regain consciousness so quickly. However the uncertainty vanished when the ship shook like a tree in a hurricane. Before either could react thick smoke began filing the halls. "I can guarantee death too!" The man lunged forwards with the last of his strength, not bothering to dodge the spear's dangerous point. It went straight through him but the man didn't seem to mind. He laughed as he wrapped his limbs around the Kyy's body, trying to hold him in place till either the smoke or fire got to them.
@Noodles@Crimson Lion"No." One of the dying pirates called towards the woman. from the ground. "Don't leave." He gasped. "Stay here and wait awhile." His hand clutched at the blood pouring from a wound in his chest. "We've got something nice to show you. There's a surprise waiting for everyone on here." He was grinning behind the mask, despite the pain. It was easy to tell by the sound of his voice.
Then, the world beneath them shook, and smoke seeped through the boards of the boat like black sea rising upwards. "Well at least you didn't have to wait long." The Legion pirate laughed.
