The Blade of a Bounty Hunter!
A Nonstop Bounty Hunter Brawl!
"Mikoto!" shouted Sage as she ducked underneath a rogue flying chair from one of pirates. The bar which was peaceful just a few seconds ago had broken out into a huge fight. Now most of the pirates and bounty hunters were aiming at the Infinity Pirates, "you just had to insult all of these pirates once again! Why the heck did you state that all of these pirates were scaredy cats?" She couldn't believe that after they got off safely the first time due to Rosa, but then Mikoto opened his mouth again and they got in trouble again!
"They are!" shouted Mikoto as he brought a fist upwards and into one of his opponent's abdomen. He fired another quick punch at him sending him spiraling backwards away from him. The pirate was knocked into the tables behind with a loud grunt. "They immediately backed away as soon as Rosa here waved her sword around and mentioned our bounties! If they were real pirates they would've attacked us right then and there!" Mikoto dodged another pirate's punch that came to the bare left of him. Mikoto jumped up and launched a series of kicks to the man's head. "But they didn't, thus they are scaredy cats!"
Rosa chuckled as she brought her sword around and upwards, blocking another downwards slice from a fellow bounty hunter, "I would've liked to have avoided fighting an entire bar full of pirates...but I can't complain. Its not like you guys are going to be taking the bounties for these beaten pirates. So, I'm going to make quite a few millions in the next minute or so." Rosa swung her blade around in a wide circle creating a gust of wind knocking the pirates back.
Mikoto charged forward bringing his fist into a pirate, knocking him upwards and into the air. Mikoto spun around and launched a direct downward kick into his gut. He slammed the man downwards. Mikoto spun about and launched a second series of kicks at another group of pirates. "Yeah, exactly and besides its fun!" shouted Mikoto as he Rosa knock down another group of pirates.
Another pirate charged forward bringing his large hammer down upon Mikoto. Rosa jumped to his side and brought her sword upwards, deflecting the swing of the pirate's hammer. Mikoto lowered himself and placed one fist directly into the gut of the pirate. Mikoto pushed off of the ground, forcing his entire body and arm to go forward forcing the pirate backwards and into even more bounty hunters and pirates behind him, knocking them all down to the ground. Most of them got back up almost instantaneously ready to continue the fight.
They charged forward at the group once more. "Pressure Ball!" screamed Sage as she fired a highly condensed ball of pressure at the charging pirates. The ball slammed into them exploding, scattering them all across the floor from the incredible pressure. The pirates let out a loud and mutual groan as they laid about the floor. Rosa let out an impressed whistle as she looked at the damage that Sage's shot had caused.
Just as Rosa opened her mouth to praise her, a shot rang out. Mikoto was thrown from his spot in the bar and onto the floor. His left shoulder had a large gunshot wound in it, that was bleeding profusely. Sage rushed over to his side, panicking as she watched Mikoto cringe in pain. Rosa, on the other hand, immediately jumped into action. She moved into the line of fire where the gunshot had probably been fired from, standing in the way where the shooter wouldn't be able to take another shot at Mikoto.
The man on the opposite side of the bar was sitting on a table and had a single six-chamber pistol in his left hand. He had a smug smile on his face. He jumped down from the table and began to approach the pirate, "looks like we're taking home the head of the 38 million belie pirate. We'll be sitting pretty nicely for the next few days." Rosa moved forward and placed her blade onto the man's neck, her eyes looking upwards at her enemy. "What's a bounty hunter doing protecting a pirate?"
"I'm a bounty hunter protecting my next bounty," said Rosa as she pressed the sword in deeper into the man's neck, "If you were a pirate I would cut your arms off without a moment's hesitation...but killing you won't benefit me at all, you have no bounty on your head and as such no real reason to kill you. But I suggest you back away before you give me a reason." Rosa didn't remove her blade from the pirate's neck, keeping it trained on him.
"Didn't you hear me miss?" asked the bounty hunter, "I said 'We're taking his head home'...I said 'We'll be sitting pretty nicely'...I'm not alone miss. I got a fellow bounty hunter...and he has his sights set on you." A red light suddenly appeared on Rosa's chest. Rosa's eyes fluttered in the direction of the light, but only for a moment. They quickly came back onto bounty hunter in front of her. "I suggest you remove your blade...real pretty like." Rosa clenched her teeth as she debated her chances of taking the man's head off and then dodging back before the sniper fired. She highly doubted it.
(-A few minutes earlier with Enma-)
Enma had finally finished traveling through the woods. He had tried to avoid Maria's rage, but now he was way away from his ship and he had absolutely no idea on where to go. He can't head back to the ship and he sure as heck ain't going back to the shipyard with those bounty hunters lurking about and by now they were probably pretty ticked at him. He was currently on the top of a hill, he looked about him down upon the island. The island looked pretty scarce in the excitement department. He finally noted a small bar down the street with quite a large group of people fleeing from it.
Enma was about to head down and check out what the big deal was all about but he stopped short. He cast a small sideways gaze. There was a pretty tall man that had come out of the forest moments after him. He had a pretty gun with a long barrel. He found himself a decent rock and set himself up there. He placed his gun on the rock, using it to hold his gun steady. He peered into scope of the gun and began to take aim. Enma looked at the barrel of his gun and then back down to the bar...looked like he was lined up pretty well with the bar.
Enma looked over at the sniper...eh, why not? Enma had already ticked a bunch of bounty hunters off why not irritate a sniper? Enma opened his hand and produced a long white ivory spear in the center of it. Enma spun the spear about smashing the long end into the sniper and sending him backwards, away from his gun. The sniper however, left his gun on the ground still pointed downwards towards the bar. The sniper's eyes rapidly blinked open as he stared at his aggressor.
"What the hack was that for?" shouted the sniper as he pulled a gun out of his jacket and took aim at Enma, "I was doing absolutely nothing but minding my own business here! And you come out of nowhere and I attacked me!" the sniper stood up, never letting his sights leave Enma's head. "Wait a second...you...you're...you're _ Enma."
"You are right about that," said Enma as he produced a second small bone from his free hand. The small bone was thin and sharpened to a degree where it was similar to a small knife. Enma twirled it about in his free hand. He smiled as he held the small knife in between him and the sniper.
"You do not you are not supposed to bring a knife to a gun fight, don't you?" mocked the sniper as he brought his gun up and his finger gingerly touched the trigger preparing to fire. Enma charged forward, his small knife in his hand. The sniper smirked as he pulled the trigger. A single shot rang out, filling the hills with the loud banging shot. The shot made clean contact with Enma's head. Enma continued charging. Suddenly Enma brought his knife up severing the man's hand. His hand jumped open from the pain and the gun clattered to the ground. "How...how the hell did you? I shot your head!"
Enma smiled as he turned around and faced the man. The bullet was still lodged in Enma's head, but due to Enma's steel-like bones, including his skull, the bullet had been stopped due to the insane density of his skull. Enma reached up with one of his hands, grabbed hold of the bullet, and pulled it out. Enma smiled, reached out, grabbed the sniper's good hand, and pressed the bullet into it, "Lord Lucifer, please damn this rotten soul to the deepest confinement of hell and punish him for his disgrace," said Enma quietly as he punched the man in the abdomen with such power and force, that he crumpled up and fell to the ground.
Enma looked around himself once more and then back over at the rifle the man had left laying on the rock. He couldn't help but be interested in whatever it was that the man had been looking at through his scope. Enma walked over to the gun and peered through the rifle...as far as Enma could tell it was just a girl in a hoodie...Enma stopped for a second and thought about it...the sniper was obviously a bounty hunter so it stood to reason that he aiming for a pirate...but he didn't recall ever seeing the girl's image on a bounty poster.
Enma moved the sniper rifle around, peering through it trying to see what was going on in the bar and more importantly what was the sniper was aiming at. He stopped as he saw Sage kneeling above another man, his shoulder bleeding profusely covering the ground and soiling the ground around her and him. Enma stopped and pulled his head back, he then pressed his eyes back against the scope examining it again. The person laying on the ground looked like Mikoto, he examined the body through the sniper scope...it was! That was Mikoto on the ground.
(-Back at the Bar-)
Rosa thought deeply as she slowly began to remove her blade. She didn't want to remove the blade from the man's throat, but the little red dot of light was still trained on her. She looked upwards at the man with the small gun, he had a very annoying, very stupid smirk on his face as he stared at her. She was starting to believe that cutting his head off would be totally worth it just to wipe that smile off of his face, she was really starting to consider taking the bullet...she was starting to believe it was totally worth it...
Just as those thoughts flickered through Rosa's mind, the sniper's light left her. It began to rapidly dance around the room, landing on the bounty hunter and then moving over to Sage and eventually landing on Mikoto. The light continued to move around frantically without any real direction. Both Rosa and the other bounty hunter stared at the light dumbfounded. The bounty hunter's smirk had disappeared and was replaced with one of panic as he tried to rapidly put together what had just happened and what could've possibly had made his partner mess around with the rifle and purposely put him in a dangerous situation.
Rosa strode forward, her blade becoming a mere glint of light as she sliced through the air. The blade slicing into the bounty hunter, sending him backwards and onto the ground. The bounty hunter grunted as he fell onto the ground behind. Rosa smirked as she walked over and ripped the gun from his hand and tossed it over across the ground. The gun clattered to the ground loudly. "Close...you almost had me worrying there for a second. But it looks like your partner left you high and dry." The man gritted his teeth and grunted as he glared upwards at her.
"Shoot," shouted Sage as she continued to watch over Mikoto applying pressure on his shoulder, trying to increase the pressure and slow the blood flow. Her other hand was holding a table napkin tight to his shoulder, soaking up the blood. "Where is Enma when you need him? Or Hiro-Shu? Or someone?" Sage looked down at the ground...trying to recall anything and everything she knew about medicine.
A Shichibukai on the Island!
Mikoto got shot, Enma is causing trouble, Sage is panicking, and Ridley has grim premonitions. The chaos and trouble is only beginning for the Infinity Pirates...um...and, yeah, that's all for now...
