Bloody Root was slowly walking, making his way up as he shook like a cold dog. "M-maybe if I take my time, the bigger guys will take everyone out!~" he chuckled. He shrieks as a sound from the weapons room rang out, and a Spaniard with a gun in one hand and two scissors in the other came out. Root cowered, and Julio just started heading back up. 'Damn it! If I don't stop him Captain Mary'll drown me in alcohol!' He stepped forward. "Wait! I'm uh... gonna stop you!" Root called out, trembling as he stood. Julio turned, and just shot at him with Victoria. But Root threw his hand down, slamming his palm against the wooden floor. The wood snapped, curling up and smacking the coin right back at Julio, who barely managed to avoid it. Root shook, but said with what confidence he had, "M-my Wood Magic is unmatched!" Julio started loading Victoria, formulating a plan.
"Save your strength Root." Yuko walked out from a corner, his voice just as effortless as usual. "Wait... who are you?" Julio asked, causing Yuko to shrug in response, and as Julio drew Victoria, Yuko started to sing. Root put two wooden pegs in his ears, protecting himself. Julio tried to respond similarly, but had already fallen into the spell of Yuko's Siren power. "Man, you really can sing~" Julio complimented as Root started to use the wood magic to encase Julio. "W-why thank you Yuko sir~" Root said, excited he doesn't have to actually fight. Yuko just kept singing, and pulled a knife from his back-pocket as he walked towards Julio.
Suddenly, Yuko is silenced by a plastic sucker punch to his mouth as Lia jumped over Julio, coming from behind him. "Huh? Wait you're that singing guy!" Julio exclaimed as he struggled to escape the wood bent around him. "How did you escape my song?" Yuko asked the doll, still not even putting effort into his words. Lia shrugged, and stated, "I don't got ears." Root coughed, "Then how do you hear us!?" She just shrugged again, visibly annoyed, "I'm a doll, I don't know how it works man." She dashed forward, kicking Root in the face. He fell back, but sat up. "Well, you don't really hit that hard." She scoffed, "What!? I hit plenty hard! I just... can't use my haki in this body is all!"
Wood peels up and ensnares Lia as well, and both her and Julio were flung by Root through a few walls and the wood pieces were stuck to another wall. Lia slipped out with her smoother skin, and Julio cried out, "Take these to the rabbit mink a few levels up!" as he tossed her some scissors. She caught them, but nervously looked up at him, "Wait how will you deal with-" He answers by putting two coins into his ears, and gave her a thumbs up. "Oh, that works," she said. "Huh?" Julio asked. He's not given an answer, as the wood around him suddenly flies back towards Root. Lia looks down at the scissors and nods to herself as she starts making her way up, looking for the man's friend. "I got this, I so got this!"
As she continued, she found herself in a three-on-one; The Queens Soul and Beauty watching as Death blasted a rabbit mink with flames. Minx rolled out of the way, but Death was keeping it up, spewing more fire from his arms. "So... I never got to ask," Beauty started, Soul turning to him, "Yea?" He stared at Death, "I understand you just put some soul in a skeleton and it did that... but how'd you get him to eat a Devil Fruit?" She just shrugged, "If its a bite I guess it just counts- hey its that doll."
Lia slid under Death, distracting him enough that he stopped blasting fire. "D-Doll g-g-girl? Oh no, don't t-toy on me," he stuttered condescendingly, but she pulled out a small bottle and unscrewed its top. He shrieked as she threw some water at him, causing him to run and hide behind Soul. "Dude, just stop being fire," Beauty sighed. Soul though was rubbing his skull, "There there bubby, dat mean ol' wadur won't hurt chu~" Beauty face palmed, and started walking towards the two pirates, drawing a rapier from his hip. Lia held out the scissorblades, and Minx thanks her as he takes them. "I can deal with the people. Can you deal with a swordsman with those..?" Lia asked, and Minx smiled nervously, "Well I'm not the greatest~" as he was spinning the scissors without even trying.
