"My name is Lia." The doll stood up, actually only slightly shorter than Minx. "Lia? My name is Harmony, its nice to meet ya~" Lia froze, "Wait, Cleoma Harmony?" The captain stopped, "Yea? Wait do I know you?" Lia turned back and sighed, "You are Cleoma Giovanni's kid yes? I knew him, sorta." Harmony nodded, "But I've never heard of you. A living toy is a good conversation starter, I feel he'd mention it." Lia shrugged, "He wouldn't remember me, especially since I wasn't a toy when I talked with him last. After I was turned into one, everyone forgot all their memories of me..." Harmony sighed, "That's messed up... what happened?" Lia looked up, "Kandy, or Show Leader as she's known as, has some Devil Fruit to turn people into toys... She makes them take part in some sick show for pirates. I escaped but... Marya just captured me herself once I wandered into the area..."
Harmony patted the dolls shoulder, "I got you. Give me just a few more days. I've almost got it figured out~ I'll save everyone here! I promise." She smiled confidently as she turned and lifted the beer barrels back over her head, getting back to running and leaving Lia just watching her run. Lia could feel something from inside her, causing her to look down. 'Was that... actual hope I just felt..?' she thought, holding her cold unfeeling hand over her heartless chest, and felt nothing. But she looked up, and nodded before returning to her work. 'I have heard that so many times... but this is the first time I believe it!'
A total of two weeks had passed since the crew was taken, and Julio couldn't take it. A guard pushed him, and he just reeled back and punched the man with his chains. Julio started making a run for it as the guard called for help, but a cannon-arm swung into his gut and flung him backwards. A huge shirtless man came up to him, smiling as he looked down at the gunman. "Hey now, you bein' rambunctious?" Cannon asked, cracking his knuckles as he towers over Julio. He responded by spitting blood onto Cannons bare chest, which just pissed him off. He called the crew; prisoners included, on deck dragging Julio up. "We have an example here, a prisoner wants to be a tough guy!" he called out, holding Julio by his head.
Kasai tried breaking out of the chains, but the weakened state made Ryuo harder to maintain, and even then the stone was just too tough. "Crap! I gotta do something!" he exclaimed as Spinner walked up to Cannon, smiling with an evil glare, asking the man, "May I?" Cannon scoffed as he tossed Julio down. "Be my guest." Minx's ears drooped, as he had no idea what to do. Kagaku looked around frantically, but stopped and noticed someone in the shadows, and he smiled as he stuck his pinkie in his nose. "Captain's got this one," he said, causing a small nearby doll to look up at him. "Huh? Captain?" she asked as she looked back at the center. Spinner was spinning his weapon over his head, the wind catching the blades causing it to spin wildly. "This is what happens to those who defy the Burning Queens!" He swung the blades down.
A blur suddenly blitzed past, grabbing Julio just as the blades reached down, now stuck into the wood. "Ah! The hell!?" The two pirates turned, seeing Harmony carrying Julio over her shoulder as she clung onto the railing net. "That girl... she's the one always running!" someone called out from the crowd. "Hmph," Cannon aimed his arm up and a cannonball fired from it, but it hit the net as she sped down. She was faster, but not untraceable. "You think just cuz you ran a lot you're unbeatable?" he asked calmly as he rushed towards her, matching the speed easily. Harmony however, slipped past him as he approached. He patted his hip, turning back as Harmony's and Julio's chains fell. "Oops, was that yours?" Harmony asked, spinning the keys in her finger.
She tossed Julio and the keys into the crowd, and turned back to face Cannon. He just charged at her with an incredible speed, "Fool, even without the chains you're still too slow!" She responded by vanishing right in front of him, causing him to fly into a wall with his own momentum. "What the!? How'd she just-" he turned around, just as Harmony appeared in front of him, striking him in the gut with enough force to fling him through the wall he just crashed into. Spinner started sweating, "T-That's the captain's technique! How'd she figure that out in just two weeks!?" he rushed towards her, spinning both blades. "It took Captain Mary months to figure out Shaving! There's no way you-" Harmony suddenly blitzed away, stopping on the Marian's figurehead. Spinner started breathing heavily, looking at her with genuine fear in his eyes. "It's just moving your feet really fast. It's not that deep," she responded, looking unimpressed.
