[Robin drapes her arms around Luffy's shoulders, waving to the crew.] Make sure someone sticks around to help Lorelai with the ca- [If Luffy's sense of timing holds true, that's about all Robin gets out before they're zipping out over the waves.]

[seakingbait]

[Bye you two, have fun!]

Oh, is Sanji-chin still in the kitchen? I'll give him a hand.

[serving_love]

[BACK AGAIN, this time with a tray of quickly and yet perfectly made sandwiches. Not really breakfast, more a snack to hold them over while fighting.

...Though he just missed Luffy apparently. Ah well.]

I got it, Keimi-chan! You can help me prepare a real meal after we're done with this shitty mess, though~

[Then to Zoro:]

Is it really those bastards again?

[Che, boring.]

[yourotherleft]

Yeah, them. [what a great fight that was. He's excited to do it again. Tosses back the rest of his coffee and nods]

Luffy wants meat, so pack up some of that and let's get over there before he takes everyone out. You got things here, Keimi? Dunno if we're gonna have company or not.

[leaving the ship in the very capable hands of the ladies is all right by him, since Lorelei seems to know her way around cannons]

[serving_love]

[Rolls his eyes.]

Wants meat, tch, of course he does...

[Sanji's nothing if not prepared, though, and holds up a pirate bento in his other hand.]

Got it already, so I'm ready when you are.

[He'll just leave the remaining sandwiches with the girls, for whenever they want them~]

[yourotherleft]

All right. Let's do this.

[the real question is how. Luffy has rubber and Sanji can Sky Walk but Zoro?

....wait IDEA.]

You can still do that thing with kicking people over somewhere, right?

[serving_love]

[Just looks at him.]

Well, yeah. What, you think I forgot how to send your ass flying in any way, shape, or form?

[Hops up onto the railing and lifts his foot.]

C'mon, marimo.

[yourotherleft]

[it's been a while, okay? He sets the empty coffee mug down in the middle of the deck and pulls a second sword, to get ready]

If I land in the water I'm kicking your ass later.

[He just has to let it be said, even though he trusts the cook's aim. Zoro takes a running start and grins as he comes - this really is just like old times. Then he makes a powerful spring up to just above Sanji's leg, prepared to touch off the minute he's launched.]

[serving_love]

[Tempted to just fire him into the damn ocean now of course but he'll manage to refrain...SOMEHOW...

Sanji grunts as Zoro lands, but it hardly takes any effort at all to swing his leg around and launch Zoro across the water.

He follows immediately after, kicking up into the air and Sky Walking his way to the other ship.]

[yourotherleft]

[much appreciated, cook. Zoro keeps the two swords crossed in front of him as he flies across the gap, and has to do a bit of tuck and roll to land at least somewhat gracefully on the deck of the enemy ship.

Clearly, they hadn't expected anyone to counter so quickly and board them first, as some of their guys are still clustered around the cannons. Zoro just gives a little 'heh!' under his breath before charging into battle, warming up with some fairly basic moves. He's got his senses alert for Mama Maddie, though, in case she's with this ship in particular and eager for that rematch.]

[serving_love]

[Sanji's right behind him, dropping out of the air in a tight spin and then extending his leg at the last second as he crashes into another cluster of pirates.]

Concassé!

[Then he arches backwards out of that move and plants his hands on the ground, spinning around and letting his legs fly at a few more guys who come rushing in.]

[yourotherleft]

[at least, unlike the Navy, these guys don't just go running in panic everywhere. They seem keen on engaging, once they're over the surprise of two Straw Hats exploding into their midst. More than one of the Bone Boys must remember this duo from Yuezhong, because this time, they're loaded for bear. Not just their meat cleavers, but a few are carrying real swords and they seem to know how to use them. Zoro can pick them out of the crowd easily, and cuts right back through the melee, keen on matching sword for sword.

He keeps Sanji in range at all times, avoiding collateral damage from those whirling feet while always moving into either bat more foes into his path or circle behind him and guard his back. It isn't even conscious on his part, Zoro simply feels comfortable fighting with the hot aura of the cook's haki at the edge of his senses.

And these swordsmen sure are keeping him busy. Distracted, almost. He hasn't forgotten the captain but he's got his hands full.]

[meatthefuture]

[it's okay, they'll know what to do. As they go flying toward the enemy ship, Luffy has the presence of mind to pick up Robin's legs, holding them in the crook of one arm so that she won't drag on the ground at all.

It looks like they're going to land in a thick crowd of people, some of them have swords and stuff so he coats his leg with armament haki and]

GUM GUM NO BLACK WHIP!

[and knocks half of the cluster into the ocean before landing on the deck himself in a twisting motion, bending to keep Robin safe as his sandals skid across the deck]

[thetruehistorian]

[Robin is (surprisingly?) adept at being carried, and tucks her legs in for the landing. It's not much different from the way Crocodile took her from place to place, only she's less inclined to choke on the way. Many in the group Luffy didn't manage to reach in his initial sweep suddenly find themselves forcibly disarmed. It's rude to point dangerous weapons at people, after all. She hops nimbly out of Luffy's embrace and raises her hands high above her head. As she brings them down to cross at the wrists, a garden of fleur spreads out before her, targeting pressure points in the legs of her enemies and bringing them to their knees. One arm shoots out, and those felled are suddenly launched off the side of the ship.] Pardon me!

[meatthefuture]

[Luffy just laughs at the sight of Robin knocking everyone over like bowling pins. They weren't going to be much of a challenge anyway and her ability is so cool. He's not sure what they are over here for or what they are looking for but that's not important just now as he can hear the panicked sounds of reinforcements coming from below]

Na, we should do a combo attack, Robin! Can you make me into a spider?

[he'll do the bulk of the hitting of course, but all of a sudden something like that would look really cool]

[thetruehistorian]

[It's done in an instant, extra arms and then feet sprout out of his body to create something if not fierce, then at least strange and slightly horrifying enough to give the unsuspecting reinforcements pause.] You'll have to tell me where you want to go. [Seeing as how, in true spider fashion, the jointed "legs" are more than twice as long as the main body, holding Luffy aloft, like a daddy longlegs.]

[meatthefuture]

Woaaah! hahahahaha [he can't help but laugh at the pure awesomeness of this! He catches a glimpse of himself in some detrius of reflected surface and frowns a bit, only to brighten once more as the expected eyes pop out over his face]

I look gross! shishishi

Just wait til they come out and take me into them!

[but before that as there is clashing sounds and something about the hatch being stuck, Luffy takes a moment to focus and spread armament haki up Robin's limbs so she doesn't get hurt.
He's done without a second to spare as they all boil out like angry hornets, waving gigantic butcher knives as swords and then there is a mad panic as they're spotted and some try to boil back inside only to be pushed by their mates from behind]

LET'S GO, ROBIN!!

[thetruehistorian]

[Robin's so surprised at seeing her fleur suddenly coated in Luffy's Will that she nearly releases them. But she recovers quickly, and turns her attention to the fray at hand. She isn't afraid to stomp on people with them, nor kick them aside with abandon. She maneuvers Luffy right above the hatch so he can both kick and punch straight down to his heart's content.] ROGER!

[meatthefuture]

[which he does with gleeful abandon, mostly gatlinging them back down into their hold or sending them smashing to the deck. He's gotta think of a name for this move. Suddenly two stocky women come barreling out of a hidden hatch one of them saying,

"Here, spider!" and throwing a fizzing ball at him which he blocks but which immediately explodes into powder which stings his eyes and makes him cough]

Ahhgughh What is it?! [coff coff] My eyeesss!

["Have a web!" says another and cuts a rope with a knife. A heavy net falls from the rigging right on him and suddenly it's as if he's hit sea water, the haki disappearing from Robin's arms if she can even keep her arms at all.

The moment he's down. He will be swarmed]

[judgementscythe]

[She notices Luffy and company being incapacitated by the women on deck and being surrounded by the ships crew. She raises her hand and a decent sized area around Luffy is charged with electricity, lightning bolts shooting out at the men around him. It only lasts a few seconds before it dissapates]

Kiemi? That's all that's left in my Rune Can you get us over there?!

[seakingbait]

Mn.

[She nods, turning the knob on her baton so her bubbly coral seeps into her jet dial.]

Yoko-jima: Sea Road

[She swings the baton, releasing a string of water-filled bubbles that stretch from the deck of the Merrily to the ship where Luffy and Robin are fighting.

She extends a hand to Lorelei]

Hold on, I'll bring us over!

[judgementscythe]

[Lorelai pixks up her Scythe and grabs hold]

Let's go!

[thetruehistorian]

[It happened surprisingly fast. The powder wasn't so bad for Robin, since she could see what was coming from a different vantage point and got rid of the ojos fleur from Luffy's face the very instant the bomb exploded, but she was close enough and the net large enough that it fell on her, too. She couldn't even struggle to get out. So now here they are, hands cuffed behind their backs with this world's seastone and summarily tossed into a shared cage made of the same prism-flecked white metal. It gives Robin a headache.] Luffy? Are you alright?

[meatthefuture]

[His eyes still sting and he can't see very well and also can't really rub them at all. So he tries to rub them on Robin's shoulder, though it doesn't work very well]

I'm hungry. [and whiny and weak]

What is this stuff?

[thetruehistorian]

Marco mentioned this world having its own version of seastone.

[Robin takes a deep breath, shifting against Luffy in the dim light, her head pounding and her fingers reaching for his below the cuffs.

Then she chuckles.]

I wonder if it'll become a regular thing? Being stuck in a seastone cage with you.
