Wealth, Adventure, and the Open Sea: A One Piece RP.(Arc 4: Porte Carlo.)

[Mr. Omega]

Peter was about to start listing his ideas when he heard the cannon erupt, and he peeked his head out. "What in the hell...?" he noticed a nearby building had a sizable section of its roof blown off. "Holy crap!" He jumped out the window and noticed a band of Marines standing there. The largest one there seemed to be patting himself on the back. "Crap... Marines..." He started walking up. I can't just stand by while an idiot like this goes around threatening civilians... "OI! What the hell do ya think you're doing firing a cannon like that in the middle of town?"
[hr]
Inshi had with a thud outside the gentleman's club Jacque was staying. Upon hearing the explosion, the men rushed out to notice him stumbling to his feet. "OYABUN!" They all rushed over to him, helping him up. "Cah... some idiot fired on me..." "Who was it, Oyabun? We'll take care of..." "That doesn't matter! Get me back to the Oyster! I need to recover from these injuries..." "Right! Shall we get the medics ready?" "No, get the keys to my safe... and have a glass ready at the door."

 

[NeoStar]

"Huh? who's interrupting my happy hour....?" he turned from his gin to look at peter, his eyes narrowed at the sight of him. "You...you're....you're kinda small to be giving me orders! Go home!"
"Sir! Don't you remember? ThAat's one of the pirates we came here for!"
"EEHH?.....Uh, I mean...er...of course! I managed to lure him out exactly as I planned!"
"Uh...sure you did, sir."
Gulligan stood up, and took out his cannon, aiming it. Now for a cool one-liner to make my moment of triumph even greater...let's see...oh! I've got it!
"Pirate scum! Welcome to DIE!!!" He shouted as he fired his cannon.

 

[Mr. Omega]

"Holy shit!" Peter jumped out of the way for the cannonball to go whizzing by, hitting the middle of the street. "Hey, there are people in the middle of this street, you know!" He reached for his gun and started loading some of his rounds of ammunition into it. Ok, what's the best kind of round to take this big lug on?
[hr]
Far away from the island at this point, a Marine ship containing Yezeku and his men was able to see a couple clouds of dust rise up from the island. "Damn... someone must be having fun over..." he leaned ofer the railing and retched. The medic on board scolded "Hold still! There's some serious stuff in your system..." He groaned and nodded. "Ok... someone send in the call to base..."

 

[NeoStar]

"I missed! You'll regret making me miss! Men, go...do lacky stuff! This guy is mine!"
The soldiers exited the bar, saying, "Are we to take that as 'find the people I shot down from the roof?"
"No, take it as 'find the two people that I, the world's craziest buffoon blasted off the roof'...so same difference!"
Gulligan swung his cannon like a bat at peter. "See? I can also hit stuff with this thing! Cower in fear, pirate!" he swung blindly, failing to notice the property damage he was causing.

 

[Mr. Omega]

Peter nodded. "Yeah, yeah, good for you..." He had finished loading his weapons while Gulligan was showing off. "Well you showed me what your weapon can do... so I think it's only fair I show you what mine can do. It's a nice little gun with a variety of special shots... like this! Bright Burst!" He pulled the trigger, and what seemed to be a pale-yellow marble shot out of the lower barrel of the gun. When Gulligan tried to block it, it shattered, and almost instantly, a bright light flashed right in front of him. Peter wasted no time in trying to close the gap.

 

[NeoStar]

"My eyes! I need those to look at things!" He dropped his cannon and suddenly noticed it wasn't in his hands. "Hey, where's my cannon! You filthy pirate! You better have touched Gertrude!" He then swung his fists wildly, "I know you're here! You can't dodge forever!"

 

[Scarim Coral]

Just as Jacque is done looking at the new bounties, the rude men from earlier shove him out of the way as they head out of the club due to some commotion happening outside. He felt now is the right time to exit the club.
He head toward the bouncer which he precedes to hand him back his pistol and rapier. He peak his head out of the door to see what's going on.
All he saw where those men tending to some guy. He quietly sneak pass them undetected as he head into the nearby alleyway. He stood there to think on what to do next.

Ok so I'm wanted and the same with Peter and the rest. Why do I get a feeling that explosion I heard moment ago has something to do with them? I guess I better not put on my mask back on just yet and lay out while trying to find Peter and the others.

He then runs toward the end of the alleyway while being cautions in case of any more dangers along the way.

 

[GoWithDAFro]

Tozani Budero didn't even put down his transponder snail before making his next call. He knew what he had to do. "Listen up. The Archer has supposedly been killed, and his killer wants a doctor. He's probably been weakened, and is definitely distressed. So I want two of you to go find him near the inn by Marine HQ, confirm the archer's death, and kill him. Don't forget to search his corpse for the dragon diadem, and I want to know what this guy looks like, just in case. Don't screw up." Nobody gets away with stealing from me and attacking my family.

 

[Mr. Omega]

"You name your gun? Seriously?" he laughed out loud, trying to get closer to him. Damn... he might not be that bright, but he isn't exactly leaving me that many openings... he can fight, at least, even if he can't think. Well, I got just the thing for that. Next shot! He aimed his gun at Gulligan's face, or at least at the arm blocking it. Fire Shot! He shot a sphere at him, and it hit his arm, splashing a bit of a liquid on his arm. Peter jumped back. "In 3...2...1..." at that, the liquid quickly burst into a small flame.

 

[NeoStar]

Gulligan's sight began to return. "Hah! I can see! But... What smells like chicken rotisserie? Mmmmm....Chicken ro.....OH-MY-GOD-I'M-ON-FIRE!" He quickly shook the fire off of his sleeve. "That....was my favorite shirt! Where you trying to cook me you cannibal!" he yelled angrily.

 

[Mr. Omega]

Peter looked on dumbfounded as he shook off the flame. Either this guy is well-trained enough to ignore his skin burning... or he's just too damn stupid to notice the pain. Either way, first off I need to get him away from that cannon. He pulled out his wrench and tried to hit him in the stomach, trying to get his attention away from the cannon on the ground.

 

[NeoStar]

Gulligan stumbled back a little, falling back, but reaching for his cannon and pulling the trigger. It hit a couple feet behind them both, making Peter stumble, giving him enough time to get up and hold his cannon right up in front of him. "I have you now!"

 

[Mr. Omega]

Peter instinctively lifted his foot up, placing the sole of his shoe against the barrel of the cannon. Never tried this before... He closed his eyes as Gulligan pulled the trigger. There was a loud *THUMP*, but nothing seemed to happen. Both men stood there dumbfounded for a minute, and then Peter grinned "Didn't think that'd work as well as it did.." He kept his foot up and aimed his gun at Gulligan's face. Heavy Ball! He shot out a large, black, opaque sphere at him, hitting him right between the eyes, making the sphere fall to the ground with an audible *clang*, and Peter used the opportunity to press his foot against Gulligan's chest. Impact Stomp!. Suddenly, a shockwave seemed to burst out of his shoe, knocking Gulligan back a couple feet on his back, and making Peter fell back a slight distance before falling over from losing his balance. "Oof!"

 

[NeoStar]

Gulligan got up, his head swimming a little. Whoah...am I drunk? he stopped for a second, Well, a little bit, but that has nothing to do with it! That guy also did something... he had too!
He grew red in the face with rage, "Nobody knocks me down while being smaller than me and gets away with it!....except my boss!" He picked up his cannon and aimed his cannon, "Now die!"

 

[Mr. Omega]

Peter got up and noticed the cannon aimed at him, but then noticed something. Is that...? He then saw a cannonball lodged in the barrel of the cannon. Must've been the one I stopped with the shell thing... I thought it would have fallen out by now. "Uh... hey man..." he started backing up, not wanting to be near that thing if Gulligan pulled the trigger. "I wouldn't pull that trigger if I were you..."[hr]
Inshi and his men continued going through the streets, moving everyone they could out of the way. The people were shocked to see him like this, but none dared comment on it. "Come...*cough cough* on... hurry up!" he barked at his subordinates.

 

[NeoStar]

"You trying to tell me what to do?! With your reverse psycholomogy!? Not gonna work!" He grinned as he saw the pirate back away, "No backing out now! say your prayers!" He pulled the trigger.
BOOM!
Got him! Strange....why does my everything hurt...? He then realized he was covered in soot and burned. He fell backwards, in too much pain to move.
One of his men approached him and looked down with a bored expression, "That promotion's just around the corner isn't it, sir?"

 

[Fragrance of Mtn Dew]

As Hal finished his cigarette and waited for an opening to get through to the inn, he was surprised to see Peter again. And even more surprised to see him pick a fight with the Marines, who immediately started blowing up more of the town with his cannon. Hal backed up enough to where he probably wouldn't get hit by stray fire but could still see what was going on. "Huh... Your captain ain't bad Yoje. Especially for his size compared to that big ole Marine." Hal said as he watched the fight.

And those gadgets of his... They'd be worth a fortune if he opened up a munitions shop or something like that. If I could convince him to go for something like that, it'd be a gold mine! Hal grinned at the thought of it, but that would probably have to wait until later.

Hal's cigarette fell out of his mouth as he burst out laughing at the sight of the dimwitted Marine blowing himself up with his own cannon. "Ha... BWAHAHAHAHHAAAAHHAHHAHA!!!! Oh, man.... What a shmuck..."

 

[GoWithDAFro]

Yoje couldn't help but laugh as well. Peter had fought well, but his enemy being a complete idiot hadn't hurt his chances of victory. "If only all the Marines I face were that stupid. It looks safer now, Hal."
He ran over to Peter. "Hey, nice fight Captain. Sorry I couldn't get here in time to help. You alright?"

 

[Xero Scythe]

Grana looked up as he saw two Buderos walking towards him determinedly. "Oh good, you're here! Hey... Where's the doc...tor... Oh, shit." Grana realized he had been betrayed by Tozani, even as he had promised the man fortune abound. Never mind that Grana was planning on doing the same to him later; there was a (seemingly) innocent victim at his feet. The two Buderos raised their weapons at Grana, only to find him no longer where he had been. Grana appeared between to the two men, grabbing his blades and slashing upwards, slitting one man's throat and cutting the other's hand off. Grana then kicked the man to the ground and pressed his knee against the unfortunate Budero's arm, cutting off the blood supply. His blade wet for the man's throat. "Don't move." Grana hissed as he reached inside the Budero's suit and pulled out a mini-Mushi. "Call Tozani and tell him you killed me. The Archer is dead and you have the Diadem. Do it and you live- this time." The Budero nodded in fear and pressed the button on the shell, calling Boss Tozani. "Hello? Boss? Yeah, we managed to get the bastard. Anyway, he's got the Archer's bow right next to him, plus a few more of his weapons, so I think the Archer really was killed. I got the Diadem, but the killer managed to get Tony before he got taken down. I'll bring you the Diadem right away." Grana shut off the mini-Mushi and crushed it beneath his foot, helping the Budero up. "There you go mate. Now run away." Grana turned his back on the man and turned his attentions to Alaena, preparing to move her. The Budero stealthily picked up Tony's pistol and fired it at Grana. The latter sighed, expecting this. The minie ball entered a previously created portal, exiting through the Budero's head.

Grana shook his head as he shouldered the bow and holstered the Bowie knife. He went over to pick up the revolver but stopped cold as his thumb brushed over the chambers. "S-Seastone! Where did she get Seastone bullets?" Grana shook his head as he wrapped the gun in cloth to shield himself and pocketed that too before gently picking up Alaena. "Hang on, I saw a doctor's house around here somewhere." Grana whistled, holing Fletch would respond. He did, flying next to Grana. "Birdy! Fly ahead of me, go find a doctor!" Grana sighed as he realized Fletch probably understood no one but Alaena, so he resorted to words she had used before. "Find...Doctor...Master...Bleeding." These four words were spoken as to a four year old, but they did the trick as Fletch scouted ahead for the doctor's house Grana had seen earlier.

 

[tsatoma]

Alaena regained consciousness after a few minutes of Grana carrying her down some streets, looking around slowly in a much smaller than normal field of vision to try and get her bearings. 'I...what's going on?' she thought to herself as she slowly remembered the last moments before she had blacked out, 'I was fighting Inshi...and then I was falling, and there was a lot of blood.'

Sh slowly lifted her hand up to the left side of her face, feeling abrasions all over the skin. 'That's why I can't see from that side...it must be just because of all the blood though, I hope,' she thought to herself reassuringly, turning her attention to the man carrying her. "Gra- Grana? What's going on? What happened? W-where are we going?" she asked meekly after a few tries, spitting out some blood that had accumulated in her mouth.

----

Fletch meanwhile was busy flying into every house he could, interrupting many family dinners as he looked for a doctor. He finally found something of a small family clinic, flying inside and seeing numerous items that his owner had used when she was patching herself and others up. He flew back outside and shrieked to get Grana's attention, circling around the building frantically.
