A familiar blue figure came from around the corner, putting Julio and Minx at ease. "How'd you get in?" Minx asked, smiling with excitement. "I uh... snuck in," Petrian admitted, and shook his head. "Ugh... This is awkward considering what we've done but... I'm gonna have to do my job here." The two pirates looked at each other as Petrian got posed up to fight. "I'm under orders to take your captain in, now where is she?" he asked, the two responding by drawing their weapons. "We're down here trying to find her, cuz she snuck in too," Minx answered, and Petrian just chuckled. "Of course she did," he said, dashing towards the pirates.
Minx ran in as Julio started formulating a plan as he loaded Victoria. Minx swung both scissorblades at the marine, who clashed with his wings imbued with haki. He threw a kick at the mink, but Minx ducked down as a coin passed over his head, smacking into Petrian's instead. He staggered back, and Minx rushed in and patted his chest, zapping him. But he held back, not wanting to hurt his buddy, and Petrian kicked him back towards Julio, who caught him. "Minx! Head in the game dude!" he confronted, making the bunny poke his fingers together, "But he's my sister's partner..." Julio scoffed, "He's a marine, we are pirates."
Petrian sighed, "Yea, I'm after you guys as part of my job, so just treat me like any other marine." He cracked his neck as he smirked, confidently stating, "Although I think I'll win this one." Before they could react, Petrian suddenly Shaved, smacking them with his wings. Julio stumbled back as Minx was thrown off balance, and the marine sighed to himself, "At this level, I really hope Harmony isn't aiming for the New World..." Julio scoffed, firing multiple coins off the walls towards the harpy, but he just swerved through them and rushed in. "Julio! Do that see-the-future thing!" Minx cried, to which Julio sweated as he responded, "I don't got anymore stuff!" They tried to jump back to retreat, but he started to Shave after them.
"Duck!" Julio cried, Minx doing so and dodging a high-speed kick for his face. Julio shot around him to try and get a chain reaction going, but Petrian just smacked the coins out of the air with haki imbued on his wings. Minx went for a cross-slash but the marine jumped over him, swinging an axe kick towards his head. A coin bounced off the wall and knocked into Petrian's foot, knocking his attack off course and causing him to miss. He flapped his wings to recover as Julio fired a barrage towards him, but with full-body haki they bounced off him harmlessly. Minx tried a thunderbolt attack with his scissors, but he Shaved next to the stairs leading to the lower level. Julio then smirked, holstering Victoria. Both Minx and Petrian tilted their heads as someone rushed up those stairs.
A thudding slam into the back of the birds head threw him into the floor, as Harmony came in with three other pirates on her other shoulder. "You guys good?" she asked, both pirates nodding in response. She looked down at the marine, smiling once she noticed who it was, "Oh heya~" He swung a kick at her, but she simply swerved, blocking with Ballgoon's face. She then shot wax down, sticking him down on the floor. "So what you been up to?" she asked casually. He sighed in defeat, "Not much. You?" She giggled before walking back over to the others. Julio chopped her head, "Don't go runnin' off without a plan." She pouted, "We already got 'em all but that muscle dude." Ballgoon cleared his throat, "Actually, we did get a new member, and he's gonna wreck you guys!"
"There were five of 'em that snuck in," Frank informed, and Kasai tilted his head. "I thought there was only four. Well it has been some time," he chuckled, cracking his knuckles. "I mean, these guys were tough, but captain's been getting tougher." Kagaku ran in behind them, and informed Kasai what happened. "Sorry I couldn't catch y'all, got held up," Kasai apologized, but Kagaku just chuckled, "We all made it, so no harm done." Footsteps coming from the stairs caused the three to turn towards them, noticing a man with jet black hair and emerald green eyes walking towards them. "That must be the new guy," Kasai stated, cracking his hands. The man smirked as he reached behind himself, drawing a katana that looked as if the blade was made from coins.
