Harmony, having been pressed into the stone for a minute, looked rather woozy. "What even is this stuff..?" She tumbled out, falling into the sand. "Sea prism stone. Affects Devil Fruit eaters like the sea does." Julio responded. He helped her up, and after dusting herself off, they headed for the back half of the ship. "So uh, what just happened?" Julio finally asked. Harmony looked at her hands. "I'm not too sure, I just thought about the only Devil Fruit I knew about, and that happened."
Minx jumped down from his tree, and scoped the area. "Well... any wildlife was definitely spooked away, so we should be fine." He jogged his way over to the other two, shooting Julio a thumbs up and bowed his head a little for the princess, "M'lady." Harmony couldn't help but blush, but was totally tsundere about it. "T-there's no need for that! I was leaving the kingdom to become a pirate!" They reached the quarters, and opened up the luckily untouched area of the ship. "Why? Aren't royalty all like, rich n' stuff?" Minx asked. Julio followed up with "Yea, why leave that high life?" She shook her head and just smiled. "Ain't really free. And that's all I want."
Suddenly, a group of the Blackmail pirates just came running from the trees. They were all screaming so their words were lost. Julio and Minx just kinda looked at each other like they were used to this, but Harmony climbed up the leftover ship, looking past the incoming pirates. "Oh, there's a giant beetle after them," she pointed out. "Ah, I guess that makes sense," Julio said unsympathetically as he continued going inside the cabin. "I'm gonna find my gun now-" He's cut off by Blackmail, up on a tree yelling down at him, "Wait! I have your gun Julio! Up here!" Julio ignored him and kept walking in. "Hey! Didn't you hear me!?" Harmony chimed in, "If you had it, you'd not be up there, scared." He scoffed, "I'm not scared! It's just better safe than sorry!"
Minx dashed towards the huge beetle, cutting through the leaves till it was in sight. It was swinging its horn down. 'Harmony didn't say it was that big!' He quickly moved out of its way as it crumbled the earth beneath it. The beetle was massive, about the size of an elephant, with a horn that made a ships mast envious. Minx being 4 foot was already small, but he didn't let that affect his confidence. He started spinning his daggers, watching the beetle move its way towards him. Its speed was rather incredible, and it closed the gap faster than he was expecting. He raised his blades up to block, but from behind him, a light-purple scaled wyvern just about the size of a horse with large pale wings just jumped onto the bug, grabbing its horn and suplexing it on its back.
"Hey, you good?" the wyvern asked with a rather human voice. Minx was kinda lost for words, all he could get out was "Wh-wha?" On the back of the wyvern, a turquoise haired cat boy poked his head up. "He seems unharmed," he said as he hopped off. He couldn't be older than 7, and his face wasn't very happy. "Kasai we should've waited for the bug lady..." he tried helping the beetle up. "You know they were just spooked..." The wyvern suddenly shifted into a human form, his hair the same purple as the scales. He didn't look related to the kid. "It was gonna hurt the rabbit guy Kiwi, was I supposed to do nothing?" he asked as he helped flip the beetle, that scuttled away afterwards.
Back at the leftover ship, Harmony was keeping the pirates out with a wax wall. "Julio! Might wanna hurry up! If I gotta keep this up much longer we can't escape!" He responded by kicking down the door, a simple yet fancy designed gun in his hand. "BLACKMAIL!" he shouted as he shot the tree the captain was holding on to. The bullet wasn't like regular ammo, it was a metal coin. It blasted through the wood, causing it to topple down, and it dropped Blackmail into the walls interior. Julio walked over and grabbed him by his hair, holding the gun to his head. "Alright man, tell us where you keep the hostages!" he demanded. Blackmail stuttered for a second. "If I told you... You would'nt believe me..."
