The Great Escape: The Explosion Punchline
Disclaimer: I own only my ocs.
"What happens here?" Jessie asks as she looks around them, noticing all their bodies, but not a drop of blood was on the ground.
"That's not important." Draco said as he moves his head around, looking around for anyone and the ships, "Now which one of these boats belong to that ass?"
"Why ain't you shocked about this?" Roy asks as he leans down over a marine, getting a good look at him, finding that he was still breathing, but the marine's skin was all pale and have a force and creepy grin.
"This isn't something new to me."
"Geez, Sapi!" Jessie said as she found the fish salesman and friend in the same condition as the marine, "What happen to you?"
"I have seen this before." Draco said as he wanders around the dock, looking for a way to get out of here, but stop as he found a certain black hair woman, with her katana not too far from her, "Their sick with the simper flu."
"They're sick?" Jessie asks as she looks at the dark-haired man, who picks up the katana and looks at it in the pale moonlight, "Are they contagious?"
"No." he answered as he returns Shigure in its sheath, "There only one way to catch this illness and it's not by touch or airborne.", then he put the weapon near its owner, "We need to go. Now!"
"Why?"
"Cause he knows I will do the same to you two." said a male voice, making Draco growls as he turns around, while he frees the blades from their sheaths, "Aww...Someone got new toys to play with."
"Jessie! Roy!" Draco said with a growl at the figure in the darkness, "Get to the ship and get it ready set to sail."
"You're not the boss of us." Roy said as he turns while holding his guan doa in front of him, while Jessie joined the two with her staff out, "We can take him."
"He's right." she said as she glances at the figure, only to glance at Draco, "I mean we outnumber him.", then turn her head around, hearing laughter, only to get wack in the forehead by a purple and green yo-yo.
"Silly girl!" said the figure as Jessie fall back, while the yo-yo returns to his left hand, "Numbers isn't everything.", then he disappeared into the shadows.
"The crowd is running away." Roy growls as he stares at the spot, only to find the same yo-yo fly pass from his left side only to the right side over and over again, causing the string to wrap around his neck and choking him.
"This is boring." the man said as he was finally in the light, showing a pale skin and thin man, that have green hair, in a ponytail, and black beaded eyes. He was wearing a pair of purple pinstripes slacks, a pair of black shoes, a white shirt, a dark green vest, and a pair of purple gloves.
"Maybe this will entertain you." Draco growls as he charges at the man, planning to cut him, only for Roy's body to swing at and knock him over.
"Nope. I'm still bored." he answers as he pulls on his toy, only to find its string cut off, raising an eyebrow.
"Went as I plan." Draco said as he pushes Roy off, who was a gasp as he undoes the string around his neck, while Jessie finally rises from her spot, "Now you two do as I say and get going."
"You can't handle him alone." Jessie groans as she stares at the pale man, who just shrugs and snaps his fingers, causing a royal purple cane with a golden grinning canine-like handle to fall from above, which lands in his left hand.
"How the hell did he do that?" Roy asks in surprise as stares at him, well he begins to spin his cane.
"He's partner doing that." Draco answers as he watches him stop and pull on his cane handle showing a sharp sword, covering and dipping with green liquid, "Now I need you both to go to the ship and get it ready."
"You can't be serious?"
"Unless you want to end up like the rest of these morons." Draco said as he points at the victims on the docks.
"You sure you got this?", Roy asks only to watch Draco dash toward the pale man, clashing their swords against each other.
"I'm sure." Draco answers out loud as he pushes his foe back, and tries to slash at his torso only for the pale skin man to flip away, laughing like a madman, before disappearing in the shadows, "Besides it's time that I say hello to the Comedian."
"Alright..." Roy replies as he watches Draco turn just in time to block the sword cane with both of his blades, pulling Comedian out of the shadow, causing the man to flips on his back, only for his blade to be knocked out of his and feels Draco's swords against his throat.
"Fine with me." Jessie said with her eyes widened at what she just saw. "Let's go to that's Ass boat."
"Lead the way." he said as he follows the blond hair woman down the dock.
"Hehe...You think that was a good idea?"
"I know what I'm doing, laughing boy." Draco said as he was about to kick his head, only to jump back, avoiding bullets from the newly appeared firearm, "I guess you hate your new nickname?"
"Hehe...So, true." he answers as he rises from his spot, while he keeps firing his pistol at Draco, who keep moving and used his swords to block the bullets, causing them to chip, "You have no imagination."
"And you're not funny, Gwynplane." he makes the grinning man begin to frown as he stops shooting his gun, only to start to laugh again.
"Like you have any sense of humor." Gwynplane retort as he picks up his blade, only to point his gun at the dark-haired man, "You won't know a good joke if it bites you on the butt.", then start to fire his gun.
"You might be right." Draco said with a nod as he keeps dodging, but move closer to the pale skin man, "But I think you're a joke."
"You mean like yourself?" he replies as he drops his gun, after firing the last bullet, and rush at Draco, planning to pierced his chest, only for two chipped blades to get in its way.
"Speaking about jokes." Draco said before pushing the blade away from him and slamming his forehead against Gwynplane, causing the pale skin man to stumble back, before falling back, "It's your insane lover, who doesn't understand that you're just using her."
"Leave him alone, you jerk!" shouted a female voice from above, which the dark hair man cross his blades above, before a dented metal bat could hit his head, then kick the falling woman in mid-air.
"Welcome to the party, Frances." Draco said as he watch the blonde hair and slender woman hit the ground.
"I told you to call me, Pantaloon." she groans as she got up, dusting off her red and blue puffy shorts, tank top, a pair of knee-length boots, a pair of gloves that stop above her elbows, and short sleeves, leather jacket.
"Yeah...I'm not calling you that." he answers as he glances at the damage of the swords, then jumps back and block flying knives, "Seriously, what kind of code name is that?"
"It matches my Puddin's code name."
"That's his real name." Draco said out loud as he notices the blonde disappear from the area, "I really hate it when you do that.", then he turns to start running thinking this will be a good time to find the ship.
"Where do you think you're going, Draco." yell Gwynplane as he finally got up and chase after him, planning to play with him some more.
"Hopefully, away from you, you insane assholes." he mutters as he passes the ships, till he found both Roy and Jessie on a boat. To be more to the point, it's a caravel style ship, with a figurehead of a grinning donkey, which made Draco just blink, but snaps out of it as Jessie walks up toward him.
"I bet you thought I meant my ex-boss." she said with a smirk as the dark-haired man came aboard.
"Kinda." he answers as he turns around in time to find that Gwynplane was running up the ramp, only for Draco to kick the ramp off, causing the man to fall and roll down to the dock, "Anyhoo, we need to go."
"All we need to do is cut the lines." Roy said as he makes sure the anchor is secure before they think of leaving.
"Sound good." Draco said as he quickly slashes the nearest rope. while Jessie cut the other line, freeing the boat from the dock. With an undo of a knot, the mainsails open and begin to move away from Loguetown.
"So, are there cannons onboard?"
"There are two, but they're mainly for show, then anything else." Jessie answers as she looks at him, who was staring at the pale face man, who begins to get up.
"Do we have anything else that we can use?" he asked as laughter was begin to hear as the ship moved away.
"Just a couple of fishing nets and barrels." she answers as Roy decided to take the ship's wheel, "Why do you ask?"
"Cause this isn't over." he replies as Gwynplane disappears from the dock.
"You got that right, flame breath." the pale skin man said as he stands above the mast, starting to randomly shots his two pistols at the three, who quickly took cover from the laughing gunman.
"How the hell did he do that?" Roy shouted as he leans against the steering wheel's pedestal from the bullets.
"I told you it's his partner's abilities" Draco yells as he and Jessie lean against a wall, "I really hate that insane woman.", then he pushes Jessie out of the way, causing her to dodge a flying knife.
"Not as much as I hate you!" Frances said as she stood on the ship's reeling, holding a knife in her left hand and her bat in the right, then jump at the two, planning to smash Draco's head in, only to be blocked by a metal staff.
"I don't know who you are," Jessie said as she pushes the bat away and slams her weapon into the blonde's stomach stumbling back, "But I want you out of here."
"Oh, you got moxie, kid." she with a grin that mixture of pain and pleasure, "I like moxie!", then she throws her knife at Jessie, which was knocked away by an edge of a sword. "Dammit, Draco!" Frances growls as she jumps toward the man, who just blocks the bat's strike, "Why do you always get in my way?"
"That's mine line." the swordsman said as he catches the blunt weapon with his swords and stumps kick her left knee, causing the woman to cry in pain, only for her to knock out by a swift hit from the back of the head.
"Thanks for the distraction." Jessie said with a grin, only for Draco to cock a brow, "What?"
"I could have handled it." he answers as he watches hit the deck, only to smirks, "But I must say that you have great form."
"Seriously? Are you hitting on me?"
"I meant your fighting style." Draco answers as he rolls his eyes and leans down, checking on the unconscious woman and quickly moving to an open create, marked fishing gear.
"Thanks. I guess." she said as she watches the man come back with some rope, tying Frances up, only to realize the gunfire had stopped, making the two look at each other.
"You better get your ass out here, Draco, or I'll kill your friend."
"Won't be the first time, laughing boy." Draco shouted as he decided to pick up his new prisoner and carry her toward the deck, with Jessie right behind him.
"So, true." Gwynplane said out as he shows that not only did he get a hold of Roy, but chain him up, setting on top of him, with a greenish dagger at the prisoner's throat, "But I think we both have something to gain this time around."
"So, how do you want to do this?" he asks the pale face man, who smiles turns into a frown at what Draco did to his partner.
"How dare you do that to her." he growls at the dark-haired man as got off Roy as his eyes seem to glow green and his hair begins to grow, as well as his body frame.
"What?" Draco asked with a smirk, waiting for the right moment, "Jealous that you didn't think of this first?"
"I'm going to rip out your throat!" Gwynplane growls out loud as he drops his blade, then grins, showing his newly form sharp and jagged teeth, "After I kill your lil' girlfriend!"
"One, we're not dating."
"Yeah. That's never going to happen."
"That's hurtful." Draco mutters, only to smirks at his opponent as he keeps moving toward him, "Two. Catch!", and with that, he tosses Frances at Gwynplane, who quickly catches the unconscious woman.
The pale skin man calms down as he checks on her, who begins to come to, "What..happen...", then feels the rope around her wrists and ankles, "Are you trying some new thing for bed?"
"No." he answers as he undoes her binds, "This is Draco's idea of a joke."
"I told you your relationship was the joke." Draco said out loud, making the two look at him, rushing toward them, with both arms crossed over his torso, holding his swords. "Akuba!" he said out loud, sending the two flying over the ship's railing.
"How did you do that?" Roy asks out loud as he shrugs in his chains, while Jessie blinks at what she just watches.
"I did nothing." he answer as he glanced at the blades, noticing more damage to them, growling to himself, then glance over his shoulders, finding pale face man, standing on the railing, while holding a large rifle-like bazooka, pointing it at the three, "I really hate Frances' abilities."
"I got to give it to you, Draco." he said as he waves his weapon around while grinning like a mad man, "You know how to make a distraction and it almost got me."
"Not my fault, you two can't take the hint and leave me alone." Draco said with a cocky grin as re-sheath his sabers, "Or die is the Grand Line."
"Hehe...Funny guy." he said as he points cannon at the three, "Now if you don't mind, let me do my job and take care of your two new companions."
"One, no." Draco answers as his grin form into a cocky smirk, while Jessie begins to change her weapon into its umbrella form, "Two, I think you mean three companions."
"What are you talking about?" he asks as he narrows his eyes at Draco, only to gas pain, holding his stomach, as if he been punched in the gut, then notice a red bird fly away.
"Macaw Gut Buster."
"Did you say something, Draco?" Roy asks as he finally got free and watches the pale man glaring at Draco.
"Nope, that was Jack." Draco answers with a slight sigh, only to mutter, "I'm never going to hear the end of this."
"Who the hell is Jack?" she asks as she watches the bazooka-wielding man look alright, trying to find his attacker, not noticing a scarlet macaw above him, till said bird landed on his head.
"What the hell?!" Gwynplane shouts in surprise as he tries to swat the bird out of his hair as its talons dig into his scalp, hissing in pain.
"That's Jack."
"Macaw Mallet!" the parrot said out, before slamming his beak into his forehead, causing the pale skin man to let go of his firearm, well he stumbles off the railing and hits the surface of the sea.
"Goodbye, laughing man." Draco said as he heads toward the steering wheel, while Jack flew over and landed on the pedestal.
"So...We won?!" Jessie asks as she blinks at what happened.
"Look like it." Roy said as he grabs his weapon and returns to its easy-to-carry form, "I just wish I could of spear him."
"He won't give you a chance." the dark-haired man said as he took hold of the wheel and steer the ship to open water, "Also, this isn't over."
"What are you talking about?" Roy asks as he glances around the ship, thinking that they might have to go another round, "I don't see them anywhere."
"Of course not." Jessie said as she watches the spiky hair man, "They seem to favor surprise attacks."
"With those two. You want to expect the unexpected." Draco said out loud as he streels the ship, only to look down at the parrot and sigh, "What with that smug look?"
"Oh, it's nothing." Jack answers as he brushes his beak with his left-wing, "Though how many times did you bet those?"
"Shut it or no pomegranates when we reach the next dock." he answers with a growl as he returns watching the sea, still worried about the pair attacking, but was wondering if it's too late to roast Jack.
~back at the dock~
"Sorry I couldn't get to you any sooner, Puddin." Frances said as she holds out a purple towel to her partner, while hold opens a strange square opening.
"It's alright, Poo." he answers as he climbs out of the opening, which has an oddly crimson color version on the world, and takes the cloth, drying his hair, only for his partner to close it, "I Know your abilities do work in the sea."
"So, should we go for another round?" she asks as pulls her arm away, causing the opening to slam shut.
"Naw!" Gwynplane answers as he finishes his hair and reaches into his vest pocket, pulling out a den den mushi, "I think it's time to call the boss."
"And then we can watch the fireworks." she said as a creepy grin formed on her face and pulls out a grenade, which was wearing a pink doll dress, "Heh...I hope Lucy will love the show."
"I'm sure she will." he said as he spins the dials of the black and red snail, "She is going to have a blast."
"Purupuru! Purupuru!"
"Heh..Good one, Puddin'." she with a grin as she treats the explosive device as a baby.
"Purupuru!"
"Thank you!" he replies as he shut his eyes and gives a bow, "I do try."
"Purupuru!"
"No need to try, Puddin'."
"I do agree." the den den mushi said with an evil grin forming on its face, "So, how did go with Malchior?"
"Well, he and his new friends surprised us." the pale skin man answers with a big grin as he looks at his partner.
"How so?"
"They pretty much kick our ass off their new boat." she spokes up as she stares at her partner and snail.
"I see." the creature said as the sound of a bottle being open and pours it in a glass, "I guess we should nip it in the bud."
"So, should I lit the fuse?" he asks as he pulls out a small purple box from his side pocket.
"I say light the fireworks fly." the snail answer before it takes a gulp of a drink, making the two grins and the box open, only to find it empty.
"Well, that's disappointing."
"What's wrong?"
"The trigger mushi is missing."
"I must have lost it during the swim." he groans out loud as he tosses the box over his shoulder.
"So, lit it another way."
"We can't just return to the ship and toss a Molotov cocktail."
"And using my bazooka is out of the question." Gwynplane reply as he gives shrugs and sighs, "I kinda misplace it at sea."
"They really did a number on you two."
"Well, if you just let us just murder him in the first place, we won't be in this mess."
"Calm down, Poo." he replies as he took hold of him by the shoulder, trying to calm her, before she starts a fight that he maybe forces to end.
"You know the rules I set for you two." the snail said as it glares at the two, "Now deal with it and find a way to start the show.", and with that, the snail clicks and goes to sleep.
"Now what?" he said as he returns the den den mushi in his pocket and sighs, "I mean we can't use a cannon. Too much noise and they're pretty far away."
"I could make a window and we could fire a shot at the target."
"Not going to work right away." he answers as he shut his eyes and sighs, "You're abilities always mess up our aim."
"How about we throw a Molotov cocktail through my window?"
"Hmm...The idea could work, if we have enough time to make it." he said as holds his chin, then a sinister grin appears on his face, "Pantaloon! Sweetie! I have an idea."
"Oh?" a grin appears of her face as she looks up at Gwynplane, "Tell me your plan?", then she notices him looking down at Lucy, "Oh no."
"Oh yes."
"You can't be serious."
"I'm serious." he said as hold out his hand in front of himself, as his grin grows demonic-looking, "Dead serious."
"I won't let you take our little girl."
And here that bit I wish I could rip out of her. he thought as he looks at her, think of reach underneath his vest, but first, he'll try something different, "But Poo, Lucy isn't a lil' girl anymore."
"She's not?" she asks as she looks down at the dress-wearing grenade.
"That's right. She's a young lady and as such."
"You're right, Puddin'."
"So, it's only right for us to send her out in the world."
"You're right!" she asks she begin to tears up as she tries to keep calm.
"Yes, I am." Gwynplane answers as she finally hands him Lucy, "Now if you don't mind, open me a window."
"...Fine..." she said as she rose from her spot, grabbing a lever that forms in her hand "Casement Hole.", only to turn it and pulls, showing a circular open, which shows the crimson tinted atmosphere of a room with crates and barrels, with a small black snail on top and have several wires hooked to its shell.
"Well, it's been fun, but all little birdies need to push out of the nest." said the pale skin man as he pulls the pin, before throwing it into the hole before his partner slammed it shut, and disappear in thin air.
The two move to a bench, taking a set and was the sea and the stolen boat sailing, only for it to be engulfed in flames of multiple colors.
"Good show, Lucy." Gwynplane said with a grin, only to get a punch in the left shoulder.
"Lucy nothing!" Frances growls as she glares at him, "I was the one who worked her butt off on that display, while you two were playing with your friends."
Why can't I just kill and/or replace her?
Techniques:
Akuba(Wild Stallion): Draco holds his two blades against his hips with the curved tips pointed behind him, making an X over his chest with his arms and rushing his opponents. When he is about an inch away, he moves his swords, uncrossing his arms, slashing his opponents at an angle with great speed. This technique will both cause opponents to fly back, thanks to the force, and/or cuts against their bodies.
Macaw Gut Buster: Jack flies straight at a foe, slamming his brightly colored body into their gut, feeling like a hard punch in the gut. This causes the foe pain and gets the wind knocked out of them.
Macaw Mallet: A technique, where Jack lands on his/her head, digs his talons into the scalp, and quickly slams his beak into the foe's forehead. This causes the foe to get pain and a sense of lost balance, causing him/her to fall back.
Casement Hole: A technique that Frances use, by opening up a small circle portal in mid-air, by pulling what looks like an invisible level, which leads toward a crimson tinted atmosphere area.
