Oh well.

[shifts to rest his cheek on Zoro's less bony and more comfortable leg and goes to sleep. Didn't even get his five hours. Rude jerks.]

[Robin inclines her head toward Sanji, her hair up in a half ponytail.]

There wasn't much time this morning, so I used bobbypins to touch up my hair. If you can use one to get me out, I can pick the other locks.

[Wow okay gosh NEXT TIME HE WON'T LOSE TRACK OF YOUR DAMN LUNCH WHEN HE'S BEING SHOT AT LUFFY SHEESH. Huffs. Robin-chan's hair is so pretty, though, all long and dark and sleek and she's definitely saying something important to him so friggin' focus up and pay attention, man, damn.

Sanji actually wishes he didn't know what a shitty bobby pin was, but they sure had plenty of the things back on Momoiro Island. ...Though, probably he knew what it was before that, but that's where his brain just went anyway. Ergh.

—Right, sitting up now. With effort. And wincing.]

Yeah, sure, let's try it.

[He reaches for Robin-chan's hair and absolutely doesn't marvel at how soft it is or run his fingers through it or anything like that, nope! Just gently tugs the bobby pin free and gets distracted watching as her hair spills over her shoulders.

...Ahem.]

'Kay, turn around.

[chillin' over here, arms folded, squinting through the bars in search of his swords. Those assholes had to have left them in the brig somewhere.]

[There may be a brief distraction as a bubble containing an enemy pirate smashes against the side of the cage. The poor mook groans from the impact, but the force does not shake his gooey prison loose. He turns and looks his prisoners in the eye. Good, all accounted for still. Now if he could just get out of this thing and take care of this damn mer--

Keimi bashes into the side of the bubble with the full force of her athletic tail, sending the slippery bubble crashing over the side of the ship. Don't worry, the bubble will keep him from drowning, so long as he doesn't find a way to pop it.

The young mermaid drops to the floor, panting hard. She's looking a bit beat up, some cuts and bruises on her arms and face, but a familiar-looking green fabric is keeping her in better shape than she should be.]

Ah, hey... everyone. What are you doing in that cage?

[Robin shakes her head a little to settle things after Sanji picks the bobby pin out of her hair, and is in the process of turning around when Keimi's bubble smashes into their Annuler cage.]

It's made of something like seastone.

[That's really all she needs, right? The rest ought to be rather obvious.]

We could use some keys. And Zoro's swords.

[She glances at Luffy.]

And some meat.

You didn't come alone, did you?

[Don't be fooled, she's glad to see the little mermaid out and about. Please don't get caught!]

Meat?

[wakes up at that word, half asleep but his face is a little something like

so, sorry Zoro's pants.

He crawls forward, trying to push his face through the bars of the cage, his tongue hanging out. Kind of like a zombie of meaty love]

Keiimiii, did you bring meaaaaat?

Keimi-chan!!

[Ahhh he wants to go out there and help her! Not that she particularly seems to need it, look at her being all fierce and awesome...

A sharp twinge in his shoulder pulls his attention away as he cringes, but Robin-chan's on top of things. He lets her do the talking and scoots back slightly to angle himself behind her where he can get to work on trying to pick the lock on her handcuffs.

Can't be that hard, right?]

C'mon you stupid, shitty thing. Work.

[Ah, there! ...Maybe. Did that do it?]

[ew Luffy get off. Zoro shoves him away and shifts toward Keimi, though he can't move far due to the other end of his tether being occupied with the whole lock-picking thing]

Keimi! See if you can find my swords. Those assholes dropped them off somewhere around here, I didn't see where. If I only had them, I could cut us free.

[drops his eye for a moment] I could cut my hand off and get out of these damn cuffs.

N-no, sorry I didn't bring any-- No Zoro-chin you aren't doing that! I'm not giving you your swords back if you're going to go cutting yourself up.

[Still, she's not strong enough to break the cages on her own, she'll have to improvise something.]

[A shout of pain can be heard from the other side of the ship as Lorelai is still fending off the last of the remaining pirates on deck]

Dammit!

[She turns her head towards the cage a small gash from being grazed in the face]

Kiemi! Any luck with the cage?!

[A soldier comes running at her

[Robin shifts her hands, and the cuffs fall free of her wrists! She breathes a sigh of relief, feeling the effects of the Annuler lift from her body.]

Yes! Thank you, Sanji-kun!

[She spins and plants a solid kiss on Sanji's forehead, and grabs the bobby pin out of his hand to start working on his and Zoro's cuffs. She speaks to Keimi over her shoulder.]

I can get us free in here, but the lock on the door is too heavy for a bobby pin. Try to find the keys!

[still no breakfast, huh? Lame. But he watches what's going on with interest, hands still behind him and he wriggles his fingers impatiently as he scratches his nose on the bars which immediately makes him face plant as weakness goes through him]

This stuff sucks.

[other than that he's got nothing to add]

[Just shoots Zoro a look while he's still fiddling with the bobby pin.]

You probably couldn't slice through your shitty bone like this, dumbass.

[But then the cuffs fall free and Robin-chan's kissing him and UWAAAAAAAAAH~!!!!

Excuse him while he flops straight backwards and lands on top of Luffy, hearts pounding in his eyes.]

[growls under his breath, both at the realization that the cook is right and the way he reacts to his kiss. Sigh.]

Get me first. If I can get free of this metal, I'll be able to cut through the cage.

[yelling back through the bars to Keimi and Lorelai] Any luck finding my swords?

[There were only a couple of pirates left around Lorelai. Both approaching from the front she spins low tripping one with the butt end and then shifting her grip to immediately spin the blade end around her head grazing the other across the chest sending him reeling back and stumbling over the edge of the deck freeing enough time to shout back]

Nothing on deck! Must be in the hold!

[She stands up and spins the scythe one last time smashing the pole of it across the throat of the recovering pirate sending him flying back clutching his throat

Fucking pirates]

Keys, swords, meat... okay. Got it.

[She turns back away from the group. There were still plenty of pirates on the deck, she could only imagine how many were below.]

Stay here, okay guys? I'll be back soon.

[She hoped.

With another flick of her baton she was racing across the deck and down into the ship. Once below, she transfers onto a large bubble to float on. Not detected so far. She quickly moves into the first room she finds, looking desperately for anything that could resemble a key.]

[as she goes further, the old only darkens until it's nearly impossible to see. There is a large shape that seems to be darker than the darkness around it--the only sign that something is there the cherry red of a cigar. Then a flare of light as a lantern is lit and this guy stands before you.

Well half bent over really, the key ring glinting at his waist]

Hello, poppet. Come to play?

[She moves back away from the shadow in surprise.]

I can't play now I--

[A glint catches her eyes.]

Keys! You'll let my friends go, right?

Could be I might. If you'll just... come a little closer. [and he holds out a big meaty hand, his breath gusting through broken teeth smelling like dead fish]

[Thank goodness. Maybe this will be easier than she thought. All she had to do was ask nicely and these pirates would let them go.

She floats a bit closer.]

[he leers and makes a grab for her. If he catches her he will then try to crush her in his fist, as hard as he can]

[Caught off guard, she's quickly snatched up by the giant's fist. Squeezed tight, she lets out a scream.]

Nnn let me go!

[oh, well since you ask he'll let you g--

No of course he won't do something like that!

You're going to have to try a little harder than that, little mermaid, because he has a cage with your name on it that he's pulling out from behind him (a little squashed because he was using it as a seat)

It's not going to be pleasant if you wind up in there]

[Her eyes go wide as she sees the cage. After seeing how weak everyone else looked, she knows that if she's put in there, it's all over.

She points the end of her baton at the hulking man and releases a large bubble, hoping to catch him off guard.]
