One Piece: The Next Voyage

@KillBox Honestly, I think once everybody gets booted off the Red Lion Pirate's Ship and they do their own things, THEN it'll be a lot less cluttered.

Personally, the GM shouldn't be metagaming as heavily as they are. It's leading to all sorts of stuff.

One Piece: The Next Voyage

@KillBox Yeah, that makes sense. To be honest, everybody just kinda gets dragged into one thing, and it's a bunch of one upping.

One Piece: The Next Voyage

I swear, this kinda stuff is 99% sure to be the reason Oda has never introduced a water Devil Fruit. How do you ride a wave if you are the wave? Can you still swim if your power is generating water? Can you be effected by your own water? Etc.

One Piece: The Next Voyage

@ladyonyx04 I don't think that works with something heavier than air. Water is heavier than air. Considering you're a Logia that uses water, that means your body becomes water. You don't become smoke or mist, you become water. The guy who becomes Ice doesn't also become water just because water is hot ice. You gotta stay strictly in your element. It's the nature of Logia fruits.

One Piece: The Next Voyage

@ladyonyx04 So... Is Caitlyn a teleporter? How did she reach the ship? Especially considering she was still mid-fight. Especially since I doubt she'd manage to outrace Nacho's character.

"Of course... Those idiots..." Nikko hissed as he looked out the window. His eyes more than enough to see the port, and the very obvious visage of a marine, and possibly more marines on the way. And worse... One seemed to be using a devil fruit to fly. Classy. And... Nobody was firing cannons, that meant something was up.
"Vivian, you'll be a good boy and stay put, right? That means no leaving with strangers, and keep that door closed unless you know it's me, right? I don't want any ruffians hurting you. I suspect an enemy pirate might be trying to kidnap you."
"Aren't you kidnapping me already?"
"Yes, but I'm doing it in a caring manner." Nikko said, and placed a book down on the table. It was his biography on Gol D Roger, which might entertain Vivian while. The door opening, and then locking with several deadbolts when Nikko stepped out.

"What is going on out here, can't you all tell the marines are chasing us!? Get those cannons set up, and-" Nikko shouted as he stepped onto the deck, red hair billowing behind him. His bright red coat standing out amongst the crowd. It was then that he noticed the fight on deck. That assassin from the bar... Wonderful. It was then that everybody would be knocked down. All fighting stopped in a moment as a wave of hot air erupted from the captain. That hot air was like a painful shove, knocking Lexi down to the deck, as all of the crew learned long ago to duck when this kind of attack was coming.

"Crew, focus the cannons on that marine trying to catch up to us!" He growled, as many of them were scampering to man the cannons. They had a hefty lead, but they hadn't gotten as far as they would have liked considering the disruptions. They should be starting the aerial lift soon, but they might have to deal with someone else first. The heat on the ship was rising as Nikko stepped over to Lexi, eyes narrowed at her. The salt water she had doused herself in had already evaporated.

"You, get off my ship. I'm done playing games with you and your captain. You have till the count of five. If I finish counting, I will vaporize you where you stand." The heat was boiling now. The closer he got to Lexi, the hotter everything got. Her skin drying, and beginning to burn by the second. He might as well do that.
"I was willing to offer you and your captain a spot on my crew. But you have done nothing but attack and threaten me and my crew. In two days I will be in Water Seven, and then at the end of the fifth day I will be gone. You? It will take you far longer to get there the long way. I will never see you again, you will fail, and I will have forgotten your annoyance."

Once he was done killing her, he could focus on whoever was chasing after them.

"Five... Four... Three... Two..."
When he got to one, the heat would rise until Lexi would simply burst into flames just by being close to him.

“Want some? You gotta keep my presence on the down low.”

Daring, imaginative, but very very stupid. After all, the line between bold and brash, and belongs in the trash, was a very thin line. A line Lexi leaped right over into baffling, and then as several pirates just looked at her for a good hard moment, it changed to insulted. No doubt the group of pirates who noticed her would include a member or two from the very group who had been with the captain in the bar. And considering they were noticeably under attack... Well the offer to let a clear enemy onto their ship was easily dismissed.

In short...

"Miss, we're pirates, not stupid." One out of the dozen said. Gun raising up and taking aim at Lexi, the bottle, and her very vital organs. "Now, why don't you do a sensible thing, and surrender. Once we're clear of port, the captain can decide to drop you off the side of the ship, or sell you off at the next port." As it turns out... Sneaking onto a pirate ship, only to announce one's presence? Really bad idea. Especially considering all the guns, swords, and very angry scowls directed at her.

Though, if she played her cards right, at least she would get to meet the captain. Not a bad consultation prize.

@NachoBachoPacho Yeah, it's still open. We're still on the first island, so you're fine jumping in and making a character.

LAUNCH SEQUENCE STARTING IN T-MINUS... 10... 9...

As Caitlyn's attack began, and Lexi began to climb onto the ship, it was exploding into action. The ship, built for being in the air, was littered with guard rails and various other ladders that could be grabbed onto just in case somebody tipped over the side. Clearly it was all built upon a previous ship, rather than planned this way from the beginning as a cost cutting method. As mentioned before, the most obvious thing on the otherwise massive ship, was the central orb, which was the captain's control panel.
As Nikko stepped towards the orb, he stopped. His eyes narrowed into thin angry marks. "Delay the Launch sequence, just start a horizontal departure. We'll start the aerial sequence as soon as we're clear of the docks. We have to make sure our cargo is secured." Most of the pirates onboard were focused on setting sail, rather than watching or raising a defense against attackers. Mostly because they wanted to be out of Alabasta with their cargo as soon as possible.

The dock began to creak as the boat pulled away. Boards snapping as the ship clumsily pulled back, ripping off any rope that may have been used in docking it. The ship pulled away, slowly leaving Alabasta behind. Nikko stood on the deck, eyes on the prince who was all too happy to be kidnapped by pirates. Eyes wide, and asking various questions of the rest of the crew. All while they began to lead towards the Captain's room for royal safekeeping. Nikko didn't really use the Captain's room himself, since he never had to sleep, so it also served as a guest room.

Nikko followed the prince, a silent guardian for his captive.
"So, you're the captain. Why? The others look so much tougher." Vivian asked, as the prince stood on his tip toes to try and stand on eye-level with Nikko. Though Nikko was still notably taller.
"It's simple. Because I am the strongest." He smiled, and waggled his finger. "Though, there are other various reasons. I started the gang, so I am captain. I keep them well paid, and in control, so I am captain. And you, are my prisoner for a short voyage."
"I'm sure the royal guard will stop you." Vivian replied.
"Well, if they get the chance. But unlikely. We're already on our way, and they'll be trying to figure out where we are." Nikko said, and that was a matter of fact. It might take nearly an hour for the Alabasta navy to realize where the Red Lion Pirates were.

Nikko closed the door to the captain's cabin, keeping an eye on the boy. If the white haired pirate girl was staging an attack then the other one was probably hanging around. "Well, now we wait. Know any good games, Prince Vivian?"

It was not long before all of the Red Lion Pirates had assembled on the deck of the Golden Lion MKII. The ship truly was as magnificent as its name implied. The various pipes that snaked along the underside and overside of the deck created an almost... Corrupt look. As if Technology had grown tentacles and taken over a ship, and it all collected towards a singular spot, the Captain's chamber. That chamber right now, was open. Acting as a makeshift thrown for Nikko to sit upon as he addressed his crew, and their new hire.
By his side stood Shigeuchi, and by Shigeuchi stood a small TVset, and by that a wooden doll in the shape of a human being. Carved delicately to be nearly identical in size and shape to a certain somebody on the TVset.

"Some of you have expressed curiosity in why you are all here, and why we stopped in Alabasta. It's simple. We have all gathered to kidnap the young prince of Alabasta. Vivian." Vivian was a particularly girly sounding name, but apparently it was the height of masculinity in Alabasta. Personal taste and all that. "Simply put, as soon as the prince is in our custody, we leave for Water Seven. It will take roughly two days to get their by air. Once there, we stay for five days. Within this seven day period, Alabasta will give into our demands to return the prince. We shall walk away from this, with higher bounties, greater wealth than you or I have seen in our personal coffers." It was easy enough to see the appeal in why people followed him. He could make things sound so simple. Perhaps he was just that great a Captain. An ill-fit for Luffy. He was far too naturally cunning.

"Now, I want you all to get started on prepping the ship for launch. Our guest will be here... In... 3... 2... 1..."
Shigeuchi's cue was given. In a moment, the crown prince Vivian would vanish from the tvset, replacing the wooden dummy in a sudden flash. The dummy appearing on the TVscreen, and a note written for the various royals to toil over.
"W-What's happening!?" The prince shouted, eyes wide. His spectacles being re-adjusted as he adjust to the sudden shock of being swapped with another object. "Who are you people? Where's my royal guard? And..." The prince seemed so distraught, and then he caught the sight of the pirate flag sailing in the wind above him. "ARE YOU PIRATES!? THAT'S AMAZING!"

Apparently the prince had heard some stories from his mother about how cool pirates could be.
