"I was caught

In the middle of a railroad track

I looked round

And I knew there was no turning back"

AC/DC, Thunderstruck

She smiled like she was drunk, stumbling left a little so she fell into him.

"'Course, Ed-" hiccup, "-Ward Teach. You 'sked nic... nicely," Pretending her attention was drifting at the end, She distractedly eyed a cat to the side of the road. She followed the little thing into a field, dragging a stumbly Teach with her.

(One thing about her powers; she understood them. Some of the nice ones even helped her with things.)

"...Look, kitty," She mumbled, before pushing away from him and slamming a heeled foot into his poor, unprotected dick.

(The cat from before rolled his eyes and commented that he'd be back to Rika in no time and wandered off to find himself unsuspecting field creatures for dinner.)

"Ouch, man," Helmeppo commented as the sheathed blade of his sword slammed into the small of Teach's back, "You might wanna sit down- that looked like it hurt." Teach stumbled forwards into the grasp of Coby.

"Hey," Coby said, getting the aware but too-drunk-and-therefore-useless attention of Teach. Like a well oiled machine, Coby feinted in to hit the man, who sluggishly dodged left, directly into the pitfall trap they'd put there the day before. Said light was filled with light from the many, many industrial lights they'd somehow got their hands on and a few Light Dials that Rika had snagged in a marketplace a few islands ago.

He wilted slightly in the reprieve of the darkness that he'd been shrouded in before and the light was bright enough that his eyes were narrowed and aimed to the floor under him, which had even more lights under a sheet of thick, 'Meppo™ approved nylon. The walls were also coated in the same, thick nylon, except this stuff was glossy and reflected the light from the top and the bottom everywhere. There was no room for shadows.

Smiling politely, Maria chucked down a six pack of beer and gestured at Helmeppo, who took his queue and began to seal the top of the pitfall with his thick plastic, first flowing liquid from his hands and solidifying as it welded itself to the cylinder in the earth. The three handles that formed were lifted by the three teens and out of the ground, where 'Meppo covered the whole thing in a very, very thick layer of his plastic and shared a glance with the other two.

"Well, that went better than expected."

"Did it though?" Their eyes moved left in a quick snapping motion and to their surprise, a guy who was supposed to be locked in what could only be a ton of plastic was standing right there sober as anything with a crew of dangerous men by his side.

"Can I just be really honest here," Maria asked, which earned her an odd look from Blackbeard and a frown from everyone else.

"Fuck me, I really thought that had worked for a minute there." Helmeppo groaned and rolled his eyes behind his visor, "So did we, Riks, so did we."

"Riks? I though it was Maria?" Rika sighed, cover blown. She didn't change though, instead moving her hair into a silky ginger and letting patches of dark black form randomly on her skin's fur. Her ears popped the clips out of place and they stood up, twitching and aching where the clips were.

"That's right- 'm Rika M. Aburame, User of the Tiger Tiger fruit. Edward Teach, you're under arrest. Oh, and the others too."

NOT

"You're not kidding," Theo asked, semi-stable agan, "There are such things as Marine Bounties?"

"Yeah," Marco commented. "You really do come from a different place if you didn't know that. It's kind of a way for Tenryuunbito to show off a bit. 'Look out, we've got dangerous fighters too'. Tells us their net worth and stuff. Basically used to scare weaker ones into chickening out if they see there's a marine with double their bounty who's half their age."

Theo nodded. That was quite a clever power play. Power...

"Theo, stop drooling over power. We're gonna call in a friend, see if he can find any Marine Bounties that look like her." Theo nodded and left for the dorms, because he needed a few more hours sleep before anything was done today.

"Somebody get Theo, he... might want to hear this. Oh, and the rest of the crew," Owen nodded at Marco's request and rang that bell. Y'know, the emergency one? Yeah, he used it like an alarm. Worked though.

"Right, so you know how there's such a thing as marine bounties," Marco started, "Well, Static has one. A big one. 30 mil was her starting bounty and her current is 55 million. She's got two other brats with her too- Cherry Wood Coby and Sword Blade Helmeppo. They all had the same starters and the same current. Oh, Static's epithet is Naginata Rika. Wonder why that is. Also, what kind of epithet is Cherry Wood Coby?"

"That's not-"

"Yup."

"But-"

"Nu-uh."

"Dammit," Constable Rick Green sighed. His coworker, John, goes missing? Of course, he was psychotic and not taking his meds. Also, conveniently enough, kills a whole family of kids and uses their dead bodies to make 'art'. You're right, he used Formaldehyde and posed them, disgustingly enough, so that they looked like they were watching tv, like they had been before they'd eaten his 'gifted' popcorn.

"It was them," Said guy cackled, "Their mother, it's always the mother! I'm not here, not from here!" Rick groaned and covered his eyes as the cuffed murderer in front of him was injected with a sedative and stuck in an ambulance.

Rick's hand dragged down the glass, sighing sadly. They were in rows, the four oldest at the back, tied to their standing position with fishing wire, the other four boys kneeling, and the single girl sat leaning forwards, legs crossed. Her hair looked like it wanted to float, but had been coated in wax so it would stay in the smooth, sixties looking style it was in, a headband pushing it back and down, cut evenly to her shoulders and the dye leeched out with bleach. Her naturally white-blonde hair was a shade lighter than her brothers'. She was forced into an sixties' dress, all velvet collars with a cotton bodice and skirt. Each of her brothers were in a sharp suit, with their hair slicked back with gel then coated in wax just like the girl's.

The top pane of the aquarium was removed and the Formaldehyde pumped out.

Now all that was left to do was get the bodies out.
