[meatthefuture]

[fortunately it catches him right in the mouth and he just about chokes on it, dropping her in the process in the midst a giant coughing fit.]

You little-- [he'll fling the cage at her now, trying to crush her between it and the wall]

[seakingbait]

[Keimi grasps her baton's hilt with both hands. A cage isn't that different from a cannonball, right? With a single swing...]

Sashiko: Yarai!!

[A large, thick sea bubble blocks the way. The cage enters easily, but the water inside drains its momentum enough that it cannot escape the syrupy shell.

Keimi puts a hand over her heart, which is now trying to beat its way out of her chest. She breaths a sigh of relief.]

[meatthefuture]

[the giant looks...surprised to say the least.]

What the hell?

[Keimi has a window of opportunity before the giant begins trying to grab her again, or at least her weapon, intending to snap both of them like a twig]

[seakingbait]

[Nopenopenope. Keimi is going to quickly dart into a nearby room, hoping that the man's size makes it difficult for him to maneuver through the ship.]

A-are you going to give me that key now?

[meatthefuture]

Over my dead body, girlie!

[and he'll reach in there for her, trying to grab at her once more. But he won't be so forgiving this time]

[seakingbait]

I didn't come here to kill anyone!

[She just wants to get her friends back, but now this giant jerkface is trying to squeeze her to death. She backs off into a corner of the room, hoping that his reach won't come near her. She needs a plan, something to either distract him or get him to back off.

She spots a small table near to her-- not as tall, but at least her width. Acting quick, she kicks it towards the man's hand.]

Don't come any closer!

[meatthefuture]

[she definitely scored a hit! He pulls his hand back with a snarl but then waits for her to come out. She wants the keys so bad? She can come and try to get them]

[seakingbait]

[She snickers. That shot would have made Usopp proud. Still, she's far from out of the fire. She may be safe inside this room, but her friends are still trapped and Lorelai is still fighting on the deck. She needed to end this.]

Th-this is your last warning! Put the keys on the floor and walk away!

[She grips the handle of her baton.]

[meatthefuture]

[he just laughs. What are you going to do? Bubble at him? No he's going to sit right here and pick his teeth with his dagger to show you how damn much he doesn't care]

[seakingbait]

[He laughs at threats, huh?]

No, I mean it! Why do you think I'm still fighting while the rest of my crew is in a cage? I'm dangerous, and you're going to have to explain to your whole crew why you got beat up by a little girl.

[She isn't sure how much of that is directed at the man, or how much she is trying to pep herself up.]

[meatthefuture]

A'cause you're not as stupid as they are. But you'll still be meal in the end. [digs around in his ear with the same blade, keys undefended for the moment]

[seakingbait]

[As soon as he opens his mouth, a string of sea bubbles shoots from the room, moving right in the path of the undefended keys.

Quickly, a flash of green bursts from the room. Should the giant go to defend them, however, he'll notice she quickly swims past them and into the previous bubble holding the cage.]

[meatthefuture]

[he does go to defend them, and then tries to reach for her but she's too quick for him. Too bad he sees where she goes, though, and he scowls, reaching for the cage with both hands]

[seakingbait]

[Right where she wanted. She creates another road of bubbles right at the oaf. Grabbing the cage, she rushes towards him in an attempt to jam the metal prison onto his oversized head.

Lets see how you like it.]

[meatthefuture]

[it's super...well mostly effective. She gets as far as his nose while he howls and thrashes around. Though that only lasts for a second before it saps his strength and he slumps against the wall. He might make some effort to prevent her from having her way, but his hands are as weak as flies]

[seakingbait]

[She's not done yet. Another bubble road quickly runs around the room and back to the giant's face. She quickly rushes around it, building up all the speed she can manage in the small room.]

Sashiko--

[When she reaches the giant's face, she slams her tail into the back of the cage as hard as she can.]

Fundō!!

[meatthefuture]

[the giant's face smashes into the floor and he goes still.]

Round 3
Keimi vs. Gap Tooth
. . . W I N N E R . . .
KEIMI

[DON]

1/3

[seakingbait]

[Keimi sits for a moment, her hands in her lap, her breathing hard. She watches the much larger man as he lays unconscious on the floor, just taking in what she just did. She saved everyone, and she did it herself. She didn't need anyone else's strength or cunning. It was all her.]

[seakingbait]

[It quickly dons on her again that everyone is still up on deck waiting for her to free them. She floats over to the giant's side, freeing the keys from his belt. She begins to head towards the deck when a moment of hubris hits her. She turns back to the man, a frown on her face.]

Hey.

My name is Keimi. [She retracts her baton and hooks it onto the strap of her backpack.]

And I'm the weakest member of the Straw Hat Pirates, so you better not come after us again!!

3/4 I lied.

[seakingbait]

[Satisfied, she turns back to the stairs and starts floating back up to the deck, swinging the keys around her pointer finger, the adrenaline and the thrill of winning giving her a high she had never felt before.]

[seakingbait]

[Back on deck, she quickly weaves her way around whatever baddies are still around, hoping that Robin has managed to free the cuffs from everyone else.]

I have the keys, everyone! Don't worry, I'll get you out now.

[And with a quick turn, the tumblers give way and the door swings open.]

[judgementscythe]

[Good now it wouldn't be just the two of them trying to hold off a crew of pirates]

Good now that everyone is out let's clear the rest of these assholes out. Did you see his swords?

[seakingbait]

[She blinks, before slapping her cheek.]

I forgot all about them!!

[judgementscythe]

[Lorelai gets ready to jump below deck]

You take over with them up here, I'll go down and see if I can find them!
