"We made up, more or less. Now will you change us back", Raymond asked as she approached Iva. It was pretty early in the morning, but the group couldn't waste too much time on the island.
"Yeah, I mean this was a nice experience and all, but I think I'd prefer to be my original gender", Serenity said. Boa appeared to also be waiting eagerly by the helm of his ship.
"Well, see. That wasn't so bad, now was it? You settled the problem, AND experienced something new."
"You know, we could have solved the problem, without switching genders", Raymond replied.
"He just wanted an excuse to do this. I think he just likes showing off", Boa replied. Anyways, about that information I had to share", Boa said as he stepped over to Eva.
"Where do you think we'll end up going after this", Borya asked.
"We've got to be getting closer to Levely by now, right? What are we going to do once we get there", Gurin asked. I don't think they'll welcome us with open arms. Especially after whats happened.
Noone in the group knew the answer to this question. Even Blueno was at a loss. "I'm afraid there isn't much we can do. If we go in gung-ho then we'll probably get outnumbered. We'll have to sneak around until we find our targets."
"Ah, I see! Thanks for the update Snake prince! It would seem that they already made a big fuss on even punk hazard, and now they'll probably do the same on Dressrosa", Iva said. Alright. I suppose it's time to change you all back now. Our own little army has to plan our next step as well."
"Oh really? And what would THAT be", another familiar voice called out.
"I recognize that annoying voice", Borya said. She turned towards the dock, only to see Montague standing by the ship. "YOU again, huh! Where did you come from!?"
"Wait! Is this the guy you were telling us about? One of the silencers", Jabra asked.
"I told you I wouldn't stop pursuing you all...though by the looks of it, you've changed quite a bit", Montague replied as he stared at the group. He took particular note of Borya and Kalifa, looking quite different now. "Looks like you look decent no matter what you wear it seems, he said to Kalifa."
"Thats harassment", Kalifa replied as he adjusted his glasses. Again, he might have hit the nail on the head, in some senses. "I've gotten much stronger btw. So if you want to fight me, I'll destroy you this time!"
"Hm...dont get me wrong, we are still tasked with killing you all. However, I'm not an idiot. Trying to fight all of you at once by myself would be unwise. Let me ask you this, however. What are you doing on such a strange island. And what's all this talk about an army? Could it be that I've stumbled upon a base of the revolutionary army", Montague asked as he smirked.
"Oh no! I can't let him find out about the resistance", Iva thought to himself.
"Revoluti...what? There's no REAL army here. Just Iva's island full of Okama people", Raymond said. Everyone looked over to him, with a surprised facial expression. She was up to something. He was talking about the army of Okama people ready to put makeup on us", Raymond said as she looked over towards Iva and winked.
"...oh! Of course! As you can see, I already prepped them for their new look, now all that's left is the last part of their makeover", Iva said. His friends all seemed to pull out makeup. Even though it was a bluff", they seemed to be prepared.
"Hm...is that so? I don't quite know if I believe that...then again, I don't actually care. It would have been a nice bonus, but my mission isn't to hunt for the revolutionary army. It's to kill you group of goons", Montague said. He raised his hand, and dozens of government agents began to surround the group.
"What the!? He must have ships docked on this island somewhere", Fukurou said.
"Oh this doesn't seem to good now does it", Sandersonia said.
"Whatever they have going on does not concern me. I only came to deliver the message", Boa replied. Iva, change me back so I can be on my way."
"Very well", Iva said as he did just that. With a small poke, he turned her back into a woman.
Jabra cracked her knuckles "It doesn't matter how many people you send. We won't give up until we've found the truth!" Come at us!"
"Destroy all of them", Montague called out as he raised his hand. The government agents all pulled out guns and prepared to fire at the group.
"Sky Glow", Raymond called out as she threw some firecrackers down. A gray light enveloped the area, giving the group the opportunity to spread of. "If you couldn't beat us alone, what made you think you'd be able to beat us all whilst we were together?"
"Dont lose track of them, they're above you", Montague shouted. However, it was too late. The group descended down upon the enemy quicker than expected.
"No matter what's happened to our bodies, our strength remains. Allow us to demonstrate", Kumadori said as she used her staff to whack on of the imposing agents. Sure enough, it sent him skipping across the water like a stone.
"Not to mention we've gotten a lot stronger over the months." Kalifa pulled a thorny whip from the bag around his waist. "Thorny road!" The whip shot through the air and smacked multiple enemies.
"If you so happen to see 'Cannibal' tell him we're coming for him"", Serenity said. He made several vines sprout from the ground and grab hold of the agents.
"Hm. What's this? They claim they've gotten stronger, but they seem to be purposely keeping their enemies alive? Meeting these people has made them soft... how sickening", Montague said as shook his head. He jumped out of the way of an incoming kick from Fukurou. "Faster than I thought you'd be!"
"Mr Montague, we'll handle them", another agent said as he aimed a gunned and fired at Gurin.
"You've got to do better than that", Gurin shouted as he managed to literally dodge the bullet. "Hehe. You guys are nothing compared to HER", she said as she recalled her past battle with Rafflesia. She then punched the man in his face, sending him across the sand.
"Looks like they didn't need help after all, eh snake princess", Iva said.
"Their stronger than they look, I'll give them that much", Boa replied.
"Time to put on a show, with my Catherine wheel!" Raymond pulled the string on another one of her fireworks, with a circular shape, then threw it like a frisbee. Flames ignited in several spots around it, and twirled straight ahead of him. Knocking over several enemies and igniting them in the process. They all scrambled quickly to extinguish themselves in the sea.
"Oh, this is exciting! Allow me to assist", Iva said as he hopped over to the sand. "Death wink!" He winked and blasted a soldier into the sea ahead of him.
"Wow, that was... interesting", Raymond said as she got an idea.
"Tch, should have known it would go this way. It's no issue...I only needed to push you a little bit more in the right direction", Montague said. He observed his men being tossed, left and right by the group of ex agents and their friends. He clapped both of his hands together, and the swarm of agents stopped! "Retreat! I think I got what I needed!"
"Oh no! We won't let you get away", Gurin shouted. Right as he was about to move in to attack, he vanished into thin air. "What's with that!?"
"I don't think that's a regular shave", Blueno said as she began to ponder something. "Is there another technique they learned?"
"Hey, wait for us!" All the agents began to flood the sea in an attempt to get away from the battle. Though one of them seemed to waver slightly out of line. "Keep this as a memento", he yelled as he aimed a gun at Raymond...", before he could even pull the trigger, something pink flew out of nowhere and shot HIM instead. Even more strange, is that he became completely incased in stone.
"Hm...just so you know, I would have dodged that", Raymond said, as she looked at Hancock and smiled.
"Dont get all happy. A man fighting dirty just displeases me. I still dislike you", she replied.
"Yeah, I still dislike you as well...but at least your not as obnoxious as you were before."
"Hmph! Maybe my powers will work on you now", she said as she cupped her hands and aimed at him.
"Eh, lets not find out." She probably didn't actually plan on firing, but better safe than sorry. "Iva, if you would? We have somewhere to be."
"Very well. Hormone laser party!" He utilized the move again to reverse them all back to their original genders. After a moment of red lasers and intesnse tingling again, the each changed again.
"Oh! My chest doesn't feel so light anymore", Moira said as she ran her hands over her chest.
"That's harassment", Kalifa said.
"How so? Its my own chest."
"Looks like everything's back to normal", Raymond said.
"Why did you do that", Iva asked. Why did you make up such a weird, yet very tempting story?"
"Oh that? Well, I figured since we brought them here by accident, I should at least throw them off your trail. Afterall, when it comes to choosing sides, I think its safe to say we'd side with the rebels over the government right now. But you may want to be careful, they may not have given up on this area quite yet.
"Not to worry. We've eluded them all this time, and all other times will be no different! Say...you all would make great additions to the revolutionary army."
"A tempting offer, but we have a mission to do. Plus...I don't think these guys would fit in too well", Raymond said as he motioned over to Kumadori, Fukurou and Jabra.
"Hey! what are you trying to say", Jabra yelled!
"He's trying to say we wouldn't fit in because of what we did", Fukurou blabbed.
"Shut your trap", he snapped back as he zipped Fukurou's mouth.
"This is starting to give ME a headache. Let's be on our way", Boa said as she boarded her ship. "Get that floating eyesore out of here, before I take off", she urged.
"Ugh that...", Raymond said before taking a deep breath. "Just ignore her", He said whilst trying to hold back Moira from possibly wrecking Boa's ship.
"Well THAT happened! Now where to next", Gurin asked.
"According to this map, Iva gave us...it appears that the next island is called, Malina Island. That's a strange name."
"Malina? Is it named after a woman? No...wait, maybe not...", Gurin replied as she tried to think about what the name could possibly mean. Her thoughts were interrupted by a sudden noise coming from the hallway.
"Nooooo, I must ask that you cease this at once Raymond", Kumadori said as he sprinted down the hall.
"Kumadori, wait! I just want to see if I can change your hair color to blue!" Its not permanent", he yelled as he pursued Kumadori, whilst holding some sort of device.
"Well, he certainly returned to his ol- wait, what!? Raymond no! If your going to change it, at LEAST make it green", Gurin yelled as she too gave chase. Kumadori could be heard yelling through the halls.
"Hehehe. Ah. I feel like I'm home again", Serenity said. She began to remember her old comrades. "I promise you Benson. I'll get Cannibal and end his life. Serenity clenched her fist tightly.
