There was a body on the floor, two actually, but one of them wasn't really. It was hard to explain. Apparently there was such a thing as a clone-clone fruit. Who would have guessed? "Good times" Melany muttered as she moved the sacks she kept slung over each shoulder in an attempt to find something that would be at least close to comfortable as she hurried back to the pier. Honestly, she was going to be cutting it kind of close. Funny how time flew sometimes. Didn't matter if you were having fun or not. "Well" she said down to the real corpse and the one that was probably made out of whatever it was a soul was "Thanks for the plants." She gave a half-hearted salute before turning to hurry out the door.
"Damn it." She muttered as she stepped out and surveyed the inferno before her. "I understand those guys want to make a name for themselves, but big and buster isn't always the way to go." She massaged her temples and took a deep breath as she shook her head. "Pirates and bluster! Ugh! Why doesn't anyone secret consolidate power any more!?" Shaking her head she started running towards the pier.

It was easy to find her crew mates as the dragon fruit Jackal had eaten made him the next best thing to an actual flare. They were on the pier, standing in front of a boat. She assumed it was the one their captain had settled on. For some reason it looked familiar, but as hard as she tried she just couldn't put her finger on it.
"Hey!" She called stepping up to the other members of the sunny crew. "What I miss?" But she didn't need them to answer, not really. It wasn't hard to miss the chaos and swiftly approaching danger coming from the sea. "Oh!" She nodded. "Nevermind. I got it." She hefted the bags. "I'll take it we're not going to beat a strategic retreat?" Not that such a thing would be a good idea. Sometimes, it was wise to burned bridges and the best time to do it was when your pursuer was hot on your ass. "Well then, I'll be right back. I'm jug going to put these things on the ship. Don't want any of our medical supplies" or her personal items "getting smashed up in the frey"
