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

[GoWithDAFro]

Yoje knew next to nothing about gambling, and didn't want to enter the casino looking ready to start a fight(which he was). So he opted to walk around the outside of the casino instead, looking for any other exits and sizing up the Buderos who guarded them. Okay, look innocent, smile, don't look at the guards, but don't look straight ahead...Those two seem like basic thugs. Keep walking. Another thug...This would be so much easier for me if we still had enough crewmembers in fighting condition

Tozani still watched the resort from the casino roof. He'd found Inshi, and was now guiding his men to Inshi's location via transponder snail. "A left here. Now down that corridor. You'll have to kill some more Yarrakona now. Go up the stairs on the right once you're done with them."

As an apprentice he experimented with dials and invented the candy dial securing his adopted father a tidy retirement fund. However they where threatened by a militant force developing on a nearby island, though he had little to do with the resultant fighting he had to innovate to keep the house safe and that was when he found out that using sugar the dials could produce candy that once hardened was as strong as steel. Experimenting he could use this technique with many candies. His adopted father had adopted him at an elderly age so when he passed away Sir. Candy got bored running the shop. He decided that he would learn what life was like on the ground and set sail to make his fortune.

Alaena had been quiet while they went over to Tozani's casino, still contemplating the offer that had been given to her. She opted to not go into the casino, knowing that the numerous injuries and weapons would make her way too noticeable in such a crowded place. 'And there is always the chance that someone might just recognize me for who I really am. That I cannot allow to happen,'[i/] she thought, looking down at the people entering and leaving the casino.

A flap of wings was heard from her left side, the weight of the small hawk landing on her shoulder a comforting feeling. She choked back whatever sadness she felt boil back up, knowing now was not the time. "What is it Fletch?" she asked him quietly, feeling his weight leave her shoulder when he flew up towards the roof of the casino. It was then she saw Boss Tozani looking through a telescope at the very top of his casino.

There was a moment where she considered shooting an arrow through his head and being done with it like that. This was personal though, and killing him that way wouldn't be nearly satisfying enough for her. Instead she jumped off the roof she was at, determined to finish him herself.

 

[Mr. Omega]

Peter finally walked inside, looking around the casino. The place was pretty large, with dozens of tables and slot machines all around. There were several waitresses in revealing outfits, walking around with trays of drinks for the people there. There were large safe doors in the back of the place, mostly just for decoration and not actually being a real door. There were several people in suits walking around. A number of them were just hired employees and dealers, and the rest were Tozani's thugs, ready to deal with anyone they think might be cheating or any drunks causing trouble.

"Impressive place..." he smirked, walking to a nearby slot machine. He started feeling all over the machine, knocking on it and checking all over, occasionally pressing his ear against it, trying to get a feel for how it might work. "I think I have a little more than I need..." He pulled the lever after putting in a coin. He got two matching symbols and lost on the third. He sighed, shook his head and put something in the coin slot of the machine. He then put a second black orb on the underside of the machine "Just in case this machine works differently than I think it does..."
[hr]
Inshi stumbled towards the safe, setting up a modest barricade in the front of the door to his office. He would wait there for a while, trying to heal himself before even thinking of confronting the men heading towards him. He had sent out a call to all his men to back up the oyster. It was just a matter of staying alive until help arrived.

The remaining elite thugs had guarded the front of the office, awaiting the Budero fighters. The regular grunts were still desperately trying to organize.

 

[GoWithDAFro]

Tozani continued to guide his men through the resort until they reached Inshi's office, where the remaining Yarrakona elites awaited them. He was confident that his elite fighters could defeat them, but he kept his transponder snail just inn case. He still had to find the ones who started the attack on Inshi. He couldn't see them at the resort, so it was possible that he was their next target. But if they attacked now, he'd have the advantage. He knew they were coming, and they must be weakened from the last attack. Tozani headed back inside the casino, deciding to wait for them to come to him.
___________________________________________________________________
Two men who looked like Budero elite stood in front of the steel door Yoje was now passing. They glared at him as he went by, and Yoje did his best to look afraid as he shuffled away from them. They've definitely got some money behind that door. It should be a good spot for one or two of us to break in.

 

[tsatoma]

Getting up to the top of the casino's roof was easy, waiting until Tozani crossed over it and closed the door behind him wasn't. 'Perhaps it's best for him to head inside, then there won't be anyone seeing us,' Alaena thought as she climbed over the ledge and over to the door. She waited a few seconds before slowly opening it, stepping inside and closing it behind her.

The bowie knife was held tightly in her hand as she descended the stairs, making sure to stay quiet so that Tozani couldn't hear her. His footsteps echoed in the stairwell, forcing her to speed up if she wanted to catch him before he exited it. Once she caught a glimpse of him she attacked, pushing him forward onto the ground and pining him down.

"It's a nice night, isn't it Tozani? I saw you looking over at the resort just a minute ago, impressed?" she asked him, placing her knife against his back.

 

[GoWithDAFro]

Tozani grunted angrily. How had this girl managed to sneak up him? "I take it you're the Archer. You've caused a lot of chaos today. You even managed to catch me off guard. I'll have to be more careful the next time I'm on the roof...You realize nearly the entire Budero family is in this casino? You will not leave here alive." The Archer wasn't aware that his transponder snail was still on. His second in command would hear their conversation, inform the rest of the family, and she would soon have nowhere to go.

"I wonder though," Tozani said as he tried to wriggle the hand that was pinned under his chest. "Why have you been so hell-bent on killing anybody with power on this island? This won't change anything?"

 

[Mr. Omega]

Peter had went to every slot machine in the casino, each time depositing something in the coin slot. Roughly thirty seconds after each time, the machine froze up, and the one trying to use the machine next angrily started pounding the machine. "HEY! What's going on here?" "Did this thing just take my coins? Is the lever broken or something?" "Oh come on! I was on a winning streak here!"

He walked away, noticing Hal was the closest one to him. He sat beside him. "Ok, listen... when you see a signal, that's going to be your cue to start trying to get everyone here in a frenzy... get them rambunctious. You'll know what the signal is when it happens. And by the way, until that signal goes off... stay away from the slot machines."

 

[Fragrance of Mtn Dew]

The blackjack tables had been pretty good to Hal, he had been breaking even for awhile while he watched what was going on around the casino. But now he was starting to come out ahead. Then he noticed Peter sit down next to him and listened to his plan. "Alright, I'll see what I can do." He replied.

But the more he thought about it, the more he wondered what a guy like him could do to get these people riled up. All he had was his sword and his briefcase.... Wait, briefcase? He looked around at all the people. The gamblers, the employees, even the guards. They were all desperate for one thing. Money. Hal looked down at his briefcase and knew what he had to do. And he didn't like it one bit. "This had better get us a damn big pay out..." He grumbled under his breath as he waited for the signal.

 

[tsatoma]

"I've gotten out of worse situations alive, I think I can handle getting out of your casino," Alaena responded, pushing down on him more when she felt him slightly moving. "As for your question; it will help in the end. You get rid of the right people and enough of their lackeys, and that will be enough for change. It might be slow, but it will happen. Believe me when I say this is not the first time I've done this," she told him, pushing down on the knife enough to draw blood, "Once you're gone this city will be one step closer to being free. It has taken awhile, but it shall be worth it."

 

[GoWithDAFro]

"I won't be gone for a long time, Archer." With one mighty heave, Tozani pushed up with both hands and twisted out from under Alaena. The hand that had been under him came up with a needle, which he quickly flung at her while moving back to create space. There was a thin slash across his back from the knife.

 

[Mr. Omega]

A bunch of people were at the front complaining, when all of a sudden, what seemed like an electric surge ran through the machines. Suddenly, all the machines began shooting out coins all over the floor, and money was all over the place. Peter then reached over the table, clocking the dealer with his wrench "HEY! Look at all the money!" he grabbed some of the chips on the table, running towards the machines, and trying to get to where Yoje was. Need to find Yoje so we can make a run to the safe.

 

[tsatoma]

Tozani proved to be stronger than Alaena had anticipated, pushing her off him with a a few short movements. She was able to dodge the needle that had been sent her way before bringing her knife back up as she took up a fighting stance against him. The confined space they were in left no room for any medium- or long-range weaponry, so using her bow was out. Her gun was only a last resort due to the scarcity of the ammo she used. 'Though at least now I have some more seastone I can work with,' she told herself as she moved in to attack, using a large swing to try to get him off balance before using shorter stabs once she was in close.

 

[Fragrance of Mtn Dew]

After winning one last hand of blackjack, Hal's attention was turned to the commotion by the slots and the sight of Peter running off somewhere. That must be the signal. I guess I'd better get to it and go after him then. Hal thought with a sigh before he parted with his money. "Whoa, what's goin' over the- DAMMIT!!!!!!" As Hal got up out of his chair, he flipped the latch on his briefcase and pretended to trip, causing all the money inside to go flying into the air.

Hearing Hal shout, a number of people turned to look and saw all the money. Hal had lost a lot on this island, but he still had a sizable fortune left. More than enough to turn the heads of the gamblers, the staff, and even most of the guards. A mad scramble ensued as people crowded around, shoving each other out of the way and trying to grab as much as they could. "I think that's enough to keep em in a frenzy for awhile. Now, I gotta at least turn a profit." Hal said, grinning despite having just thrown all his money away, before turning and running after Peter.

 

[GoWithDAFro]

A guard outside was suddenly frantically talking into a Mushi. Peter must have started something Yoje figured. Without a second thought, he knocked the guard out with a kick to the face, searched him for the key to the door, and burst into the casino, looking for his crewmates.
____________________________________________________________
Tozani stepped out of the way of the knife and threw a smokebomb at Alaena's feet. There wasn't a lot of space to navigate in the corridor, but it would still hide his movements somewhat. And with Tozani's powers, he could still aim freely. He took a needle in each hand and threw them at the Archer's leg.

 

[tsatoma]

'Only having one eye wasn't enough of an advantage for him I see,' Alaena thought as she stood still in a defensive stance, waiting to hear him. This was not the first time that she had been down a sense in a fight; though this time the advantages were stacked in Tozani's favor. She had heard about the powers he had attained from a devil fruit; sometimes it was just simple gossip between two of his men, while other times it was directly from the mouths of his men as they tried to bargain their way out of death. When she felt the needles hit her leg she knew it was true, countering his attack by throwing her knife in the direction the needles had come from.

 

[Mr. Omega]

"Yoje!" Peter spotted him in the crowd "Follow me!" he started smashing as many machines as he could, making a beeline to where he was certain the safe would be. All the while, he was shouting to try and keep the gamblers riled up.

 

[GoWithDAFro]

"Right behind you Peter!" Yoje ran after his captain. All around him, people were fighting over money, and the Budero thugs were doing their best to break it up.
________________________________________________________
Tozani had seen the knife throw coming, but he still wasn't able to dodge it completely. It sliced through the side of his suit and a bit of flesh. He cursed and threw another volley of needles at the Archer, this time moving as he threw them. He drew a long metal sai to prepare for close range combat.

 

[Xero Scythe]

Grana leaned back in his chair, having completely screwed over everyone unfortunate enough to play High Seas Hold 'Em. "Idiots... This game was invented on my archipelago! I know the ins, outs, ups, and downs of this game, and I know just how to take your money." Then all hell broke loose and Grana decided to join in on the fun. He caused his hand to appear below the moneybox, and threw it up with all his might, causing everyone to look up as the coins flew through the air. Grana laughed as he sauntered through the casino, watching as desperate gamblers scrambled for cash. Grana quickly caught up to Peger, even as a Budero got in Grana's way. Without even stopping, Grana flicked the guard of his sword with his thumb, propelling it into the suit's throat. A knee to the diaphragm cut off all oxygen, and so dropped the guard like a rock. It looked like Grana hadn't even touched the man as he continued to see his Captain. "Hey, Peter!" he called out as he caught up to Peter and Yoje. "Care for a bit of help getting in?" Grana raised an eyebrow at the couple.

 

[Mr. Omega]

"Right! Just try and get this safe open. You able to get through solid surfaces? I doubt the safe door is that thick. I'm pretty sure that door in the back leads to the vault. We need that open for the next part of the plan..." He shot a couple flash shots at a couple thugs, blinding them, and kept smashing every machine they ran past.
