Violet turned towards the approaching group. "Alright, I've been informed that we no longer have time for games. Your deaths are imperative to the government. Actually, now that I think about it, you lot just might be worth more than the bounty of a lot of dangerous pirates out there."
"Don't compare us to pirate scum!" Jabra yelled.
Moira stepped forward. "Do you know anything about our enemy." She wasn't expecting to get a legit answer, but that made Violets reply all the more shocking.
"Cannibal", she said. The one you are looking for is named Cannibal."
"Cannibal? The name sounds so..." Raymond started.
"Implicative? Yes, quite. Rumor has it, that he and several of his colleagues have carnivorous zoan devil fruits...and they have quite the extreme taste."
"Sickening! Even more reason to put an end to them! You guys ready?"
"Whatever you're planning I won't give you the chance!" Violet pointed her finger upwards and sliced the roof in an X Shape! It couldn't withstand the sudden attack, and plummeted towards the ground.
"Everyone, scatter", Serenity called out as she jumped out of the way of the falling debris. The entire roof came down upon the area. It was so big that avoiding it was near impossible.
"Ack! She's literally bringing the house down", Borya said as he rubbed his head.
"No time for puns, we gotta get rid of her", Fukurou replied.
"Bahahaha! I hope you've made peace; I'm going to mutilate all of you!" Violet began to attack with a myriad of waves left and right. At this point, she wasn't even trying to aim. It was almost like some sort of game to her. Throw and throw to see what lands. One thing was clear however. She wasn't trying to reduce their ages anymore. Each wave that didn't hit, sliced through the walls, and rocks that occupied any space.
"She's not even looking where she's aiming anymore! Whatever you guys are doing, do it", Kalifa said. One of the blades got her right in the arm at that moment. Another of them got Kumadori whom was shielding Gurin!
"Alright, Blueno, Gurin, quick! Into the air door!" After the prompt, Blueno created a door within the very space in front of them. All three of them hopped in! Remember, the plan", Raymond said. Both of them nodded.
"Stupid idiots! Thinking they can plot in that air door. Whatever! She began to dole out the attacks even faster, making them even harder to dodge now. It was like being in a hurricane of blades. They just kept flying all over the place!"
"Moira, hurry and take point before it's too late", Serenity shouted, narrowly avoiding another air scythe.
"Right! Here goes!" Moira ran forward, closer to the spinning Violet! One of the scythes grazed her face, but she continued on, the second she got far enough, she yelled and shot a wave of her voice at her.
"Dont you ever learn", Violet asked as she stopped. The quickly cut the sound in half again.
Right then and there, the door appeared behind violet and opened up. Within it, were Blueno and Raymond. "This should teach YOU!" Raymond loaded the candle with a blue capsule, and fired at Violet. At the distance he was, missing was impossible...but avoiding the attack wasn't her intention either.
She quickly turned to the open door and readied herself, and sliced at the incoming water attack. Though the slice went through, most of the water still splashed on her. "I'm not scared of a little water. What exactly did that 'teach' me", she asked with a smirk. "Your little distraction with the loud mouth one didn't catch me off guard in the slightest, either." Suddenly, she started to feel a bit off. It didn't really concern her though.
"Not to be so cocky!" I still have plenty of ammo!"
"It won't do you any good since...", right then and there, she got a surprise. She felt a pair of arms wrap around her body! What the hell!?"
"Got you now, you demon!" Gurin shouted.
"Where the hell did YOU come from", Violet asked, as she struggled.
"THIS was our plan, Violet! Moira wasn't the distraction. THOSE two were", Gurin said as she motioned towards the air door."
"Moira was more of a fake out distraction. I knew you'd be on guard once we all entered the air door...but one thing you didn't notice is that the door we entered, never closed. While Blueno and I moved behind you, Gurin remained behind close by inside the open door. You assumed that we all would appear next to you, and that ended up being your downfall. Gurin, now's your chance!"
"What!? What are you going to do? Let go of me! You filth!"
Gurin nodded, and transformed! Her tail wrapped around Violet's legs, immobilizing her. She flew straight upwards, like a rocket flying into the sky. "You should have known better than to pick a fight with us. If a silencer couldn't beat us, then your chances were slim. "
Violet continued to struggle, but her strength seemed to have been sapped from her somehow. "Why...do I feel so weak?"
"That was his Neptune shot! You sliced at it, but it has ground sea stone it. It doesn't nullify devil fruit powers, but it still makes you weak if it hits you. Now you cant do anything, except prepare for THIS!" Gurin turned Violet and herself upside down.
"You wouldn't dare!"
"SEEDLING PLANT!" She zoomed back towards the lab, like a falling bullet and tomb stoned Violet, sending her through the floor!
"That HAD to hurt", Raymond said as he walked over to the hole that Gurin hovered over. He looked into the hole, and saw Violet laid out flat on the ground twitching within a crater. It didn't appear she was going to get up anytime soon. "I love it when a plan comes together. Great job everyone! She shouldn't be a problem for us any longer. Or at least not right now."
"Thats great and all, but we still have no idea where we're going", Borya replied. Right then and there, everyone began to revert back to their original ages again. "Ah shucks. It was actually pretty nice being young again."
"Just be yourself Borya", Kalifa said as she pushed past him. There's bound to be some records we can look at here. Even if the base is trashed. All we need to do is look up the surrounding areas and we'll go from there. At least to prevent ourselves from being lost."
"We passed a bunch of file cabinets on the way here. Maybe we'll find something there", Serenity replied. She began to lead the way back towards the entrance.
"Violet! Violet, respond", Claire yelled over the snail transponder.
"Yes...this is violet." Her voice was strained, and she seemed to only have a small grasp on her consciousness.
"What the hell happened? Why do you sound so sick?"
"They're your problem now...", Violet replied before hanging up the call. "Geese...this was supposed to be an easy mission. How did it come to this", she said before slipping into a deep unconsciousness.
Claire shook her head. "Hmph. I suppose she was along the lines of one of the weaker subordinates. Oh well. Their luck can't last forever.
"Nope. Nothing here! Not even info on Violet", Fukurou cried out. He had just finished searching one of the file cabinets.
Jabra reached the same conclusion with the one he searched. "Nothing here either. Got a lot on recent events though. You all might want to look at this one. "Everyone gathered around to look at the file he held up. It had pictures of both the Strawhats crew, and picture of fishman island. "Looks like they ran amok there too."
"Oh, strawahats huh? Those the guys you told me about", Raymond asked.
"Yes! Half the reason we're on the run in the first place", Jabra replied as he threw the file down.
"But also half the reason we all met", Raymond replied as he picked up the file.
Jabra gave a small smile. "Damn you..."
"Look, on the last page. The one that talks about Holy city. It says that that two members of CP-0 are planned to be dispatched to Levely. The two bodyguards are apparently named 'Rob Lucci' and 'Kaku'. This looks pretty recent."
"Are you serious? This old place had an updated file? Maybe this place isn't as old as we thought. If that's the case, whats with all these plants", Blueno asked.
"I think it looks lovely", Serenity chimed in. Though of course she would. "Anyway, isn't that place pretty strict with who goes in and out. Not only that, but we're not exactly going to be welcomed in after out 'betrayal'. Makes me wonder how those two even got back in the governments good side."
"Thats irrelevant. We'll just have to drag them out of there if we need to. "How far away is this place anyway, Serenity", Kalifa asked.
"I'd be lying if I told you I know the exact amount of time. I know the general direction, but...I'd still say it could take a while to get there. "He'd more than likely be gone by the time we got there.
"Then we'll just gather more info there if we need to. We can't rest until we have this little problem under control", Moira said. "Do we have enough information to proceed?"
"I'll take the remaining files just in case. You never know what might need out of these", Fukurou added.
"Good idea Fukurou. The more info we have, the better. I find this whole situation disturbing. Why do your friends want to work for people who tried to hunt you all."
"Might be his lust to kill. Who know? Even something as simple as that would be enough for him to roll over", Jabra replied. Either way, lets go. The longer we stand around, the easier it wil be for another enemy to spot up.
The group headed back to the ship, completely unaware that there were cameras hidden around the building. Whichever ones haven't been broken have probably caught their plans on camera already. It would only be a matter of time before someone finds them again.
It had been only a few days since they left Birth island. They STILL were getting back used to their original ages, let alone bodies. Kumadori kept himself busy with fishing for the day's meals, whilst Moira had a pretty good knack for cooking. She wasn't Sanji level but could definitely cook.
Fukurou, Jabra, Gurin and Raymond all continued to look through the files they had pilfered from the base. "Man, still nothing on this island's whereabouts. All of this is just junk Fukurou already new and...wait, here's a file on Jabra", Raymond said as he opened it up.
Jabra quickly turned to Raymond and tried to snatch away the file, but he missed by an inch, as Raymond held it closer. "Hey, gimme that!"
"Lets see..your previous mission before the Enies lobby one was...to kill...Oh dear. I said I wouldn't judge but...", Raymond said as he tossed the file behind him. He was met with a swift bonk on the head from Jabra.
"Well, you should have expected that! We're...not exactly GOOD people in the basic term. We're just that awesome", he said with a smile.
Raymond rubbed his head. "Yeah yeah, you're a sick puppy and your proud of it. I...hey wait...what's THAT say?" Raymond pointed to the ground. It was another file with Lucci's face on it.
"I didn't see it until now", Fukurous replied. It looks pretty important. "It looks like a report on his return to the government. THIS should answer a lot of questions."
"That plus the info on this 'Cannibal' man should really come in handy", Moira said as she eyed the stack of paper on the ground. "A faint burning smell began to waft around the cabin.
Gurin sniffed the air. Moira...by any chance did you leave the stove on?"
"Well I'll be...I got distracted!" She ran back into the kitchen only to see a fire engulfing the meal she was preparing for the night. "Oh dear. Sorry, I should have been paying attention."
"No prob. Why don't we all take a break and help clean up", Gurin asked.
"Ugh, fine. But no more fish. I'm getting tired of fish!"
"Oh, but Jabra, fish is quite good for both the mind and body", Kumadori replied.
"How about we just do a surprise pot", Raymond asked. They all looked at him confused. Its something my dad and I used to do. We each take something we both like, and put it into a soup and see how it turns out. Its fun because you can get anything from bad tasting, to really good tasting!"
"Oh, sounds risky. I'm in" Sereinty said. "Gotta have some fresh herbs."
"Lots and lots of Oregano", Fukorou added.
"Fresh fruits. That gives it zing", Gurin said.
Kumadori nodded. "And Good fish!"
"NO FISH", Jabra shouted.
The group all prepared to throw their favorite foods into the pot, in hopesd of making something really tasty. All the while, a small gleam of a seemingly heart shaped island was in the path of their adventure.
