The Voyage of Sarukenshi Ch 21
*Hello everyone hope your holidays were eventful I've been gone for awhile for several reasons but I decided maybe to pick up this adventure to a more fitting end so without further ado enjoy the continuation of Sarukenshi's journey*
*With the perilous situation brought to everyone's attention by Miss Asuna, Sarukenshi exclaims that he and the others are going to mount a rescue mission to save Asuna from the islands prison facility but the clock is ticking down Vice admiral Momonga has called in a unknown captain to pick up Asuna and send her on route to Mariejois to become a slave of Celestial Dragons*
Layna: I'm glad you're as gung-ho as I am about going after my sister and all but with that said we are talking about breaking into a prison where a vice admiral is currently in charge of. Do you think we can really leave alive?
*The mood turns a bit somber as everyone pans around the room then look to Sarukenshi*
Sarukenshi: To be honest no I don't think we can, I know we'll save Asuna with everyone's help there's no way we'll fail. *Sarukenshi Grins widely Luffy leans toward him and shares a similar grin*
Luffy: Saru is right we can totally do this plus I've broken out of prison before doesn't seem that hard Hehehe.
Ussop: Didn't you almost die….twice during that?!
Zolo: Yeah but he didn't have us guiding him so it's no real wonder.
Sanji: You certainly are one to talk about leading Moss-head.
Zolo: Oh yeah and what's that supposed to mean Twirly-Brows!?
Nami THERE'S A RESCUE TO DO YOU TWO CAN IT! *Nami enraged by the nonsensical bickering shifts focus back to the task at hand*
Sarukenshi: Well it sounds like we're all set our minds on it so let's all go over the plan on the way, Come on!
*Everyone begins to hurry out of the house all except Akina whose help back by Paz*
Paz: Just a quick moment I have something to tell you and relay this to your hubby as well Huh-Ho. *A short exchange between the two leaves Akina shocked but then a moment of determination and relief*
Akina: You're right Thank you so much and don't worry, we will watch over them as well as they will for us. *Akina hurries off to catch up with the others Paz looks off at the large group just barely in sight as the dash through the jungle to the town square*
Paz: Well the time has come at last, better take some precautions.
*A couple of minutes go by and we're presented with Ussop and Layna along with Sanji and Pietro lurking in some bushes overlooking a dock it appears that the crew has arrived at the facility which is comprised of two large buildings that sit on the Cliffside of the island Ussop and Layna analyze the dock littered with marines walking around, tending to the smaller gunship and other assorted duties*
Layna: Alright so we're tasked with distracting and sabotaging the means of transport. I feel like we could probably take out the soldiers but we don't want cause a big commotion so soon don't you think?
Ussop: I couldn't agree more as a fellow sniper it's nice to see someone have a more calm approach to things usually im surrounded by monsters who just plow through anything in sight, anyways I got just the thing for this.
Sanji: I'm going to take that as a complement I suppose.
*Ussop loads a green pellet into his sling shot*
Ussop: Pop Green Kraken!
*The green pellet flies off to the dock but falls into the water in between the ships*
Layna: Um…I think you missed there .
Pietro: Yeah um I think you need to adjust your goggles there man.
Ussop: Heh the words of a novice just watch as I RELEASE THE KRAKEN!
*Suddenly vines burst out of the space where the pellet was shot enveloping the ships and entangling them in vines*
Layna: Woah that's some interesting ammunition you got there.
Ussop: Yup there's more to me than just a few arrows hehee.
Layna: Oh is that a challenge alright pencil nose hand me some of ur non-lethal rounds I'll show u the skill of the Kuja. *Ussop hands Layna his pack of lead pellets Meanwhile some of the marines have taken notice of the entangled ships and are trying to investigate*
Marine: What the heck is this, is this natural to the island?
Marine shipwright: Nah I don't think so whatever it is we need to get it off now. *the other marines nod in agreement a group of 8 or so huddle together getting ready to untangle the vines*
Layna: Steady, adjust for wind annnd *Layna takes 5 pellets holds them with each finger while pulling the bow then fires them letting them sail through the air toward the marines square in the jaw knocking them out cold on the deck of the ship* And 3 more Kuja quick shot!
Marine: What the! It's an attac *the remaining marines get felled the same way as their comrades laying across the deck unconscious*
Layna: I'm not a one shot wonder either sweetie I'm a proud warrior of the Kuja tribe.
Sanji: Marvelous job Lovely Layna! With that me and Pietro are gonna scope things out from the roof lets go. Blue walk!
Pietro: Right behind you. Sky walk! *Sanji and Pietro run through the air and land on the roof of the facility.
Ussop: Alright great job we need a new vantage point uh where should we go,
Layna: The best way to keep the element of surprise I feel would be to snipe from the ships we captured plus we need to get those bodies out of sight.
Ussop: Good call let's get to it. *The two step out of the bushes and head toward the ship meanwhile at the front entrance of the facility Sarukenshi and the nurse can be seen walking in Sarukenshi appears to be chasing her but in a haphazard run*
Sarukenshi: Hey where'd ya think you're going cute stuff *Hic* come on quit playing hard to get *Sarukenshi says with slurred speech*
Akina: Gentleman please help restrain this man he's been harassing me all day! *Two marines leaning toward the wall grab Sarukenshi by the arms and attempt to carry him out*
Sarukenshi: HANDS OFF YA PUNKS *Sarukenshi takes a wild swing his arm connects hard with one of the marines knocking him to the floor face down*
Marine: HEY WATCH YOUR MANNERS BRAT! *The marine slams his fist into Sarukenshi's gut he slumps down being more compliant* Great job now you're under arrest for harassment and assaulting a naval officer lets go buddy Nurse if you'd be so kind to hold the door so I can process this dirt bag.
Akina: Of course and thank you for assisting me btw do you know where the doctor is. *Akina holds the door of the facility open the three of them walk into a long hallway with white walls with the 5 doors along it and a large desk a few feet down, they walk past the desk where 3 Marines are sitting talking amongst themselves one of them clutching a pair of keys*
Marine holding Sarukenshi: Uh last I heard he was tending to the little girl we picked up a bit ago for the pre hand off evaluation you know how annoyed the celestial dragons would get if we sent them a sick slave. *Sarukenshi eyes the guard with the keys and nods the three walk down to the last door which houses the prisoners jail cells most seem to be empty with the exception of a few with some bandits and the common rowdy passed out drunk the room is well kept and tidy not as bleak as most jails would be given the bright light and the white rooms and even a few window in the cells decorated with a potted plant or two* Alright kid get in and count your lucky stars the nurse here is a nice lady and doesn't want to see ya get hauled in for good stay here and behave and you'll be out soon enough oh and I'll be taking these *The marine grabs Sarukenshi's swords closes the jail cell and walks out with the nurse*
Sarukenshi: hmm alright all according to plan now we wait for the rest of the intel to come in. *Sarukenshi sits down closes his eyes and takes a deep breath* (Brain space, Nami can you hear me?)
Nami: (Loud and clear Saru-chan are you in the jail cells?)
Sarukenshi: (Yup but Asuna isn't here it seems she's being evaluated by Akinas doctor friend I'm sure she's going to find him so tail her as soon as u nab the keys.)
Nami: ( Already done you can always count on a cat burglar to have light footsteps and sticky fingers *smiles devilishly*) * The jail room door open slightly then close* Mirage cancel. *Nami appears waving her Clima-tact rod revealing herself along with Robin* this plan is pretty impressive so far Saru-chan.
Robin: *Chuckles* I agree you're quite the tactician and to think of this on the spot as well very inspiring.
Sarukenshi: Thank you ladies I appreciate the complement and the keys now onto the next phase. (Dorobotsu, Clemantine, Luffy, Hitodenshi respond)
Clemantine: (Wow this is still so freaky I can't believe u can talk to us in our heads and from long distance too.)
Luffy: (Yup isn't Saru cool heheh)
Dorobotsu: (Guys can we focus on the mission please)
Hitodenshi: (Agreed, we can hear ya Sarukenshi we just got into what appears to be the records room we had a minor annoyance but we're practically undetected.)
Dorobotsu: (Well as undetected as we could be..) *The four stand in a room with a hardwood desk with pens and a lounge chair behind it, the desk littered with reports and other documents surrounded by filing cabinets and not so subtly 3 unconscious marines and a gaping hole in the wall with slight burn marks letting in the sunshine is seen* Well that's the drawback to an Acid man making a stealthy entrance. (Anyways we'd made our way in we took a peek out into the hall I think we're about three doors down from you guys if the info you're relaying is correct.)
Hitodenshi: (If Adam is doing an evaluation then he will be in his office that's gonna be the room next to us the second door from the entrance.)
Sarukenshi: ( Alright great work everyone things are going off without a snag so far but remember what I said, when it comes to perfect plan follow these three guiding rules, 1. Stick to the plan the plan to go off the rails and 3. Throw away the plan.)
Clemantine: (Well hopefully we don't have to follow rule two and three, speaking of off the rails I still can't believe you let Fisresu go settle his little rivalry.)
Sarukenshi: ( It will make a flashy distraction and besides I could sense that even if I was against it like the rest of you he would have still done what he pleases at least this way we both win.)
Fisresu: (Heh he just met me and he knows more about me than you all, just giving you a heads up me Roronoa and Chopper made our way to the training ground I see the self-righteous lout now so expect some noise oh and as much as the idea of having voices in my head I'm gonna ignore ya for the most part unless its dire information sound good? Good.)
*Fisresu's group is on the opposite side of the facility outside in a large court yard where most of the marines are watching a young man with long silky blonde hair pale skin somewhat tall and slender spare with some other marines with bamboo blades he takes fast calculates thrust at their wrists disarming them*
Young Man: You need to strike quickly and accurately with as much ferocity as an admiral if you want to be a proud marine.
Fisresu: Spinta! Ready yourself HYA! *Fisresu lunges at the young man swings his sword down toward his head but the young man was prepared and unsheathed his rapier and blocked the attack their eyes locked*
Spinta: Hm again Fisresu we've already been over this I don't have time to waste with you I have training to conduct.
Fisresu: Heh not this time chump. *Spinta looks behind him and sees Zolo and Chopper in his muscle form carrying some unconscious marines and others scattered on the ground* This time I settle the score no more interruptions or draws I'll prove to you I don't need your stupid rigid air quote disciplines to be a great swordsman you and that pathetic toot pick for a sword will be on the ground soon enough.
The next phase of the plan will continue in Chapter 22
