The Tea Party Arrival

There are men in this world who consider themselves kings and there are kings who consider themselves gods and it is among this pantheon of false idols where our story begins. High atop the monumental cliff-face which crowns the world sits the central gem: Mariejois. This pinnacle of society lay, nestled among the clouds in a fanciful palace of story-book depiction. Take heed, you shall likely never see nor hear of its contents again.

The break of day seeped through the elegant stained glass windows stretching all the way to the domed ceiling. A myriad of colors seeped into the gargantuan room. High, curving buttresses supported the curved ceiling along with its exquisite murals (depicting divine beings offering gifts and happiness to the grateful and humble beings who bowed low before them). Saint Magi sat on the edge of a sweeping bed, covered in delicate silks of crimson and purple with mountains of pillows and cushions as soft as the clouds outside. None of these comforts even registered to the impatient man. He leaned forward,elbows pressed against his knees as his right leg bobbed up and down nervously. A woman knelt beside him with a silver bowl topped with succulent berries, dripping with dew. She made sure to have her head low,but her eyes peering just high enough to notice any gesture which may imply his hunger and her singular purpose called upon. To his other side there stood a second woman adorned in a baggy, flowing gown; she slowly raised and dropped a lustrous feather fan ahead of her, gently blowing cool air on her master's perturbed face. In his left hand he held a small den den mushi, its eyes impertinently closed in front of him. He glanced at his right hand quickly, bit down on his lip and clasped his hand shut. Several yards away, within the same colossal chamber sat another fellow saint. Goraith sat waste deep within a bubbling hot pond of water. His gruff features were caressed and framed by the thick wisps of steam. A servant bent low behind him, carefully and diligently inserting acupuncture needles into his thick shoulders.

Tell me again why you are holding this ridiculous meeting? I understand you want the pests at our doorstep exterminated, but why not simply summon a Buster Call and wipe out that filthy green speck. Hell, give me the word and I'll go down myself and take care of it! The mammoth of a man uncrossed his arms and slammed his fists into the water's surface hurling a spout of water into the face of the quiet servant behind him.

Oh, big, tough Gorie's gonna take care of all the meanies for Mag-pie! Our hero!Came another sickeningly sweet voice across the vast antechamber. The voice echoed from within what appeared to be a complex, crystalline jungle-gym;an odd structure shelving many toys and contraptions. A pink garbed youth swung into view (callously knocking some doodads which crashed to the floor), hanging from her feet with pink hair draped from her rosy head. Mag-pie's gonna blush from the gesture *giggle*. Silly, Go-go, these kinds of things are what the pets are for! What's the point of having all these fun little characters available if we don't get to play with them?? She said tilting her head confused.
Enough! Magi bellowed, shooting up, tossing away the dish at his side and shoving his fan back.Magi Focus, composed himself after his outburst and put on a calm,relieved expression for his sympathetic siblings. He strode down the lengthy steps from the long bed, treading upon an expansive tile mosaic which twisted and twirled in mesmerizing patterns underfoot. This meeting is of utmost importance... Goraith, I appreciate your offer, but I'm somewhat inclined to agree with Lux-chan. If we don't make the most of these so called "Warlords" they will grow lethargic and arrogant in their idleness. I will offer them purpose, and what greater purpose than to suit one of our needs? I will be going personally to bless lesser lives with my presence. You need not concern yourselves with this event, I have my own reasons for going and I long for nothing more than you two to remain comfortable and unconcerned.

No sooner had he finished speaking that the ringing in his left hand stopped his final echoing step through the hall. A bleak, concerned expression briefly plagued his features before he spun around and turned his back to his colleagues. When he was distant from the other two he lifted up the small snail to eye level and clicked it on. The creature's eyes lifted and opened,then a rigid face take hold of the device.
Simetra, what is your update? Saint Magi said in a hurried tone.
Sire, my fellow CP Zero agents have set up a secure surveillance network across the island over the past week. Unfortunately it is quite evident that news of this meeting has spread throughout the populace. I fear that several of the Carrier Bats may have been intercepted. As such some of the messages may not have been received by their intended Warlord and your attendance may be affected. We have the island under secure supervision as it stands. There has been an altercation between the Warlords "Shizumi" and "Tsarna" against an up and coming outlaw. The conflict has been resolved and the "Red Death" Ombra appears to have escaped the premises. With the island under watch and several of your guests having arrived, you are cleared to make your approach. Escorts and chaperones have been provided for you and your substitutes whenever you are ready.
Excellent, I will make preparations and begin my traversal immediately.He quickly hung up the ringer and turned toward one of the veiled servants along the wall pointing his finger out. You, assemble a host of guards and have my ship prepared promptly! The hidden figure bowed its head very low before backing out of the room with swift and quiet feet.

Before long Magi Focus had evacuated the chamber without giving his kin a chance to say another word. He was quickly accompanied by and enveloped in a heavily armored attendants. The group moved swiftly through the hazy district, passing by the high towers concealed by cloud-cover. The 'Saint' was rushed to his personal vessel. A forest of masts extended from the deck and the extravagant, golden fox figurehead smirked proudly. The noble and his entourage were soon lowered down to the human sea beneath. Magi paced around the deck with his arms extended and the atmosphere shook and warped around him. Through his own mysterious means he concealed the entire ship: the deckhands on board vanished into thin air, the massive sails grew clear,the body itself became ethereal and even the water disturbed from their passage appeared calm as they traversed to the Fusion Island assembly.

Tsarna and his comrades were on their way to the castle, where the Tea Party will take part. "That was a bit fun, wasn't it? Shizumi still has her wits. She only pretended that she was hurt from Ombras attack, and then when he jumped towards us, he got a bad gust of wind up his guts....He had to run off," Tsarna smiled as he had his first glance at that big magnificent castle, where the Tea Party would take place.

"We will see, if anyone else, beside me and Shizumi, will even show up at that event. Well, I hope I can see some more familiar faces...then again - some people I don't really wanna see. Like the Clown, who is a bit ... oh well, a lot... weird and crazy at the same time", Tsarna added.

They arrived at the entrance of the castle and told the guards there, who they were. They, of course, recognised Tsarna as one of the Seven Schichibukai and opened the front gates of the castle. Tsarna and his two comrades entered the Castle and immediately were greeted by a older gentlemen who directed us to a room, which was probably a waiting room of some sort. Anna was looking around and was wondering the weird art what was hanging on the walls. Then a man in a black suit entered the room and told Tsarna that he can come with him, but the two others will be directed to their rooms where they can hang out until the meeting is over. Tsarna bid farewell to Anna and Mazo and followed the man...

The sound of cannon and gun fire could be heard as well as yelling in pain and fear. What appeared to be a pirate ship seemed to be on fire. The marine war ship the Magika justice was firing upon it. Bodies of pirates clearly rookies was either floating in the water or on thier wracked ship. Only a few remain most important thier captain LeBron Power. The pirate ship was nearly destroyed as Commodore Frank went on it. Crossing his fingers as his barrier was pushing objects and pirates alike out of his way. Commodore Frank was clearly mad as he looked down at the barley conscious captain Power.

Captain Power of the Power pirates you and your crew is under arrest for piracy. Frank looked around at the pirate ship which was burning down as he hand cuffed the beaten pirate captain. Well who ever left that is. Frank took Power and his remaining crew to his ship as he had them thrown in the ship cells.

As you all could see A.O.J has took down thier 4th pirate crew this month alone. Yet it was the warlords who was invited to attend this so called tea party. I consider that a slap in the face to us true allies of justice. They put me and my crew on guard duty. Outside the tea party what a waste. However I have other plans besides I'm sure the government dogs would like to meet thier future commander.Set sail to this once in a life time tea party. Besides what's a party without a jester- nothing just do it.
Commodore Frank commanded his soldiers as he returned to his room. Frank looked over the cp intelligence devices as he began to smile. This should be interesting oh, so very interesting.

'Polite' Pretty Panther:

The wind blew slightly through the colorful clothing of Pretty. She peered over the grassy hill on which she stood upon and noticed the city before her. "The Tea Party should begin soon.." She licked her shiny pink lips and showed her heavenly white teeth. On the other side of the hill was the famous city where the Grand Era of Pirates began. "..Eyes of Crimson, Clothes of Snow. Swords of Light, Swords that Glow." Pretty sang to herself as she skipped down the side of the hill. "..Wrapped in blindfolds, Guarded by Admirals, The King of Pirates Glided proudly.." Pretty Panther Hummed to herself, still skipping down the side to the very base. "..At the Gallows blindfolds were taken and Eyes of Blood Saw all.." Pretty winked at an old bearded man who walked slowly with his cane in hand. He nearly had a heart attack when he noticed it was The "Polite" One. "..One Question was asked, and It was said that the King gave way. The Path to the Treasure and all that she pleasured.." Pretty Stopped in a large clearing, where the street merged to a Giant Square; Pretty looked upwards at the massive structure that was the gallows. "..Before they gave her ..away.." Pretty bowed her head for a few moments with respect. "..Azure D. Snow. I was standing here when you Glided past.. Guarded by Four Admirals, Chained and Blindfolded.. They say you could even get out of all that- If that were true, Why did you let them kill you?" Pretty pondered and spoke to herself.

Her colorful Attire swung every which way with the groove of the wind. There was a few reasons why she had come to this Island. One Reason Was the simple fact she was summoned by the world government- or rather, the ones who pulled the strings in the shadows. The other reason was simple; Pretty Panther had stood in this very spot when the pirate king was executed- It gave her a feeling of Respect and sense of Saneness That reminded her of a better time. Pretty slowly walked away from the gallows and to the Castle where the Tea Party was.

let's get lost at sea

WHERE THEY WILL NEVER FIND US

GOT STARS AT NIGHT TO GUIDE US

"Alright...." Tiger said scratching his head, in a marshy like area surrounded by wetland like terrain. "Now, initially I agreed to follow you guys here because you promised to lead me back to the South. Granted, I never revealed who I was but is this really necessary, can't we just go back to the good ol' days?" Tiger tried to explain as he was surrounded by over thirty bounty hunters. A few days earlier, the context before the current situation, Tiger was sleeping aboard a private merchant ship in the South, the sun was trickling in perfectly, the wind gently bustling and then, his insomnia decided it was time for Tiger to blackout. Five days later, which wasn't even one of the longest blackouts Tiger has had before, Meruem awoke in the North Blue, landing on an island by the name of Fusion Island. The men aboard the ship, went by the name of the Gale Merchant Brand. The men explained to Meruem that he was now in the North Blue, and with the palest face of life, Meruem rolled around on the ship's deck in panic. "... This is it... After I worked so hard to pay for that ship... I'm in a whole another ocean." Meruem said, sucking on his thumb. Springing upward, he wrapped his hands around the man, John's neck. With fierce but dull eyes, "Do you know how long it took me to get that beli... Ship's aren't cheap you know... I don't even have a skill... All I can do is fight..." Tiger said, shaking his head left to right in wooziness.

"Boy. Relax. We do frequent trips between the North and South, this ship has seastone at it's bottom, we cross through the Calm Belt all the time." John reassured. Flinging his arms onto the ground, wiping his fingers against the deck, "Really?" with puppy dog eyes, Tiger uttered. "Your such an interesting character..." John said, it was his polite way of saying he thought Tiger was odd. "Okay!" Tiger pushed himself off the deck, launching himself into mid-air. "I guess I'll go explore then... Shout me when ya'll ready to leave!" Tiger said stretching. "It'll cost ya tho." John said smiling. Tiger dropped onto the ground, "I-I-I- in situations like this from the books they'd want your body right... I don't swing like that John. However, I'm sure you'll fine a good man-" Tiger's babble was cut off by John shouting in frustration, "What in world are you reading!? Beli you nut! Beli! 10,000,000 Million a trip! We got a business to run here. Plus another ten for your trip over!" "Well." Tiger said standing at attention with a blank expression. "It's been fun." Tiger said grinning lowering his goggles. Pressing his arms against the floor, Tiger launched his body off the merchant ship.

"Damn it! Get that brat!" John shouted. "Sir!" one of the men shouted slightly afraid. "Whatcha want scum!?" John scoffed. "That kid... I knew he look familiar look! He's one of those rookies from the Worst Generation, a Supernova by the name of Tiger K. Meruem, his alias is 'Goggles' and his bounty is over 100,000,000 Million Beli!" the man exclaimed. "1-1-00 are you serious!? We'd stand no chance then... but I know who would. Maybe we can get our 10 Million after all and then some... Bring me my snail-phone..." John grinned. After this, Tiger was chased across Fusion Island for three days straight, though it was more like, Tiger was site seeing and the men was chasing him in between his rest stops. Until, Tiger wondered to a marshy terrain, called, Swamp Pit, it was one of the area's surrounding a large Castle in the distance. Now, Tiger was surrounded by John's men, and famous North Blue Bounty Hunter, Jackson Tanner and his men. "Just give it up, Tiger." Jackson stated boldly. "It's forty of us against you, it's over brat." John said grinning. "Hey. I owe you 20,000,000 Million Beli right?" Tiger said grinning. "What is he babbling about John?" Jackson asked. "How much Beli is on his head, old man? A bounty hunter of his caliber probably has a bounty himself." Tiger said pointing to Jackson. "65,000,000 Million." John responded. "How about this... If I win, I'll give you Jackson's head and then you take me back home. If I loose..." Tiger stopped to think. "Well, that's not gonna happen!" Tiger grinned. "I've had enough of this! Men! Move in! Prepare the Sea Stone Nets! We can't waste time here! The tea party is commencing soon." Jackson shouted. "We have bigger fish to fry! Even being in this area is dangerous." Jackson ordered.

The marshland steamed with an immense heat, Jackson and his men's body were plastered across the area, with second to third degree burns which ripped through their clothes. Only, Jackson and John barely remained conscience, Jackson covered in burns and John's left eye sealed shut from the heat off Tiger's right hook. "You're alias is 'Goggles', I thought you were some fluke... How are you so powerful... " Jackson said, passing out from the excruciating pain. "Hmm... Goggles... That's what my friends call me... I got alot of names since I became a pirate though... I think one of them was, 'The Red Hot Demon'" Tiger said grinning. "Now then, are we squared, John?" Tiger asked. "Yes. I'll take you back to the South, once my crew gets medical attention. However, we might not be able to leave this place for awhile. Something major is happening on Fusion Island. Leaving here now might make us a target." John concluded.

Wherever there is power there are those who will resist it. Where there are kings there are those who oppose their rule, where there are gods there are those who do not believe. It was these people who gathered together to do just that: resist.

Far off from the clouded and prestigious meeting of the false-pantheon, was held another collection of souls: the Revolutionaries. The isle on which they met was not at all well known, and had amassed no great events or produced any noteworthy figures. Though this ubiquitous order had countless branches in which to call 'headquarters' it was here on the sweet,calm shores of Dewfree Island that these leaders organized. The building in question was a sizable manor-house with heavy oak frames and deep-set stone walls (as if they were incorporated from the very stones of the beach). A thin stream of smoke weakly rose from a lumpy chimney. It was near noon and a meal had been prepared by the kitchen for the commanders. Atop one of the extending wings of the house was an open gazebo-esque structure: complex engravings and decorative sculpting (from diligent hands) presented the dazzling effect of the pillars resembling live trees beneath an entangled roof: real vines had sprung up and were interwoven with the carved rooftop.The vines were not cropped back,but instead were allowed to hang down over the ceiling and between the supporting columns. Within this elaborate structure was an equally ordained wooden table: octagonal in shape, with smoothed edges and a central stock to uphold the hefty block. At each of the angled sides was a small,cushioned seat, each was occupied by one of the commanders; all but one seat which remained empty (the one furthest from the door and nearest to the ocean which the building reached for). Each of the 7 remaining seats was filled by a commander who debated and discussed with the others in a flustered group conversation.

The two men sitting on either side of the empty chair seemed to dwarf the others, not simply in stature, but in presence. To the chairs right sat a mammoth of a man, who's arms flailed about and frequently slapped the table in excitement. It did not seem so much that he was engaging in the purposeful deliberations of the others, but moreso a friendly lecture to himself (which the others might have caught when their voices could not defeat his own). This white-haired behemoth frequently turned his gaze toward the man opposite the empty seat, offering him the most attention among the lot (thought he did not seem to pleasantly return the favor). Opposite the flamboyant Baldr, sat a cross-armed Väga who seemed ignorant of the whole room's bustling; unblinking eyes could be seen piercing the holes in his thick mask. His attention was fixed on the door across the room as though his constant watch was all that continued its existence (with a single blink erasing it entirely). Where he was among 'friends' (or at least the closest equivalent for him), he was not reluctant to reveal his heritage. Through both his clothes and the back of his chair swung a bulky tail which embodied the mink's impatience as it slapped both the floor and the seat zealously. Though most meals had been eaten and plates cleaned, Väga's sat untouched in front of him (as though he had taken up his current posture from the moment he sat down).

From among the orchestra of voices came a small 'clicking' noise of the brass doorknob slowly turning and as though the whole enterprise had been rehearsed, the entire troop grew hushed. The door creaked open and was subsequently shut by the man who strode silently into the room. Arms' ceased their flailing, mouths closed and tails froze. Alvis Amaranthus the world's so called "Most Dangerous Criminal" had the ability to control a room,but certainly did not give off the lethal aura you might expect of such a title. His footsteps clapped along the stone floor as he passed the commanders with a weary smile.

He hasn't been sleeping...Baldr said concernedly under his breath just loud enough for Väga to hear him. The mink's eyes followed the newcomer just as he approached his side. As Alvis passed behind him he drew a small cupcake from out of sight and balanced it atop the gruff fellow's covered head. A chill seemed to spread along his tail which was followed by a swift retrieval of the baked good. He lifted his mask slightly as he attempted to shove the sweet treat into his mouth unseen.

Ah, ah, ah, masks off at the table. Came the serene voice of their Chief as he stood at the last empty seat. With a low grumble the mink slipped off the mask,revealing the black and white fur which covered his face and body. The thick white streak rose up in a small quaff of hair sliding down the thick mane of hair. Contrary to the appearance of his jagged teeth he gently nibbled at the goody. Alvis gave another grin at the sight of his friends face once more and turned toward the other at his right hand, he placed a familiar hand on Baldr's back and gave him a hearty pat (his means of connecting without disjointing the whole meeting with the unrestrained bear-hug Baldr likely would have given him otherwise). Alvis turned toward the rest of the onlookers, lowering into his seat before he began.

Thank you all for coming. I'm sorry I didn't join you earlier, I... wasn't hungry... He said glancing at the empty dishes. We all know what we're here for,so I'll get right to it. The World Nobles have ordered a summons of the Seven Warlords. This is a truly rare circumstance and the weight of a Saint's attendance should not be taken lightly. It is clear that one if not multiple nobles have something at stake here and they're playing it quite close to their chest. As it so happens,our allies within the Crimson Alliance has been informed of the encroaching World Government forces and will be acting accordingly regarding our mutual V.I.P. As it stands, their cover is still in tact and we intend to keep it that way for as long as we can.

Alvis, I don't understand, why are we bothering with all the subtlety when we could simply strike a crippling blow to the Government now!?We know there is going to be a noble, we ought to send in our elite and wipe their smug faces off the map! Please, send me- I've waited long enough to earn some comeuppance! Väga chimed in (wiping away the crumbs so as not to depreciate his serious tone). Alvis placed his hands on the table and entwined his fingers.

I know very well how patient you have been, Väga, please you must trust me. I value your input and your willingness to take action, sometimes that's exactly what I need to hear to push me to act. The last time we took such a course we lost valuable men.While I do not blame you for their loss I simply mean to remind you that we are playing a long game here. Our organization is known, but the extent of our abilities is, as of yet, unrevealed. To muster our finest for a straight assault would reveal our own hand far too soon. For now we must continue working from the shadows, see how our opponents will proceed and make our move when the time is right and they are unprepared. I assure you, the grandeur of this event is when they will be quite prepared. He retorted with calm, if taxed eyes.

You've never steered us wrong before, Alvis, and I don't see that changing! Bellowed in a thunderous Baldr Several invitations have been intercepted and have been delivered to our intended invitees, as you requested. Seems rude for anyone to arrive uninvited, so we'll play by their rules...for now. Agent Cell M in particular has been included.

Excellent news, thank you Baldr. They, along with the Alliance will offer quite the distraction for our Government hosts to remain engaged. However small in comparison our direct role may seem, I assure you our influence will be quite paramount. At the heart of it we will be ex-filtrating the previously mentioned V.I.P. This is for their sake as well as the Grand Line in general. I felt you all deserved to know our agenda, but I specifically require the service of only few of you. This operation requires dependability, and preferably stealth...(though I have my doubts) He mumbled to himself Baldr, as one of my most trusted colleagues I'm asking for your assistance in the matter of retrieving our target. I expect it to be hectic, so a single experienced man will likely do an effective,if unnoticed, job.Though, If I'm not mistaken there may be a new recruit who may be able to offer some background support to you in the field. However, that aside I'm going to need both of your help on this. He finished, extending his arms to lay them on the shoulders of either man beside him. A huge, exasperated grunt ushered from Väga while Baldr bounced to his feet, slapped the table and howled in excitement.

*clop clop clop* resounded through the cobbled streets as thick combat boots paced back and forth. Simetra was a tall, sinewy woman who held perfect posture despite her impatient marching. She was adorned in streamlined, athletic tights, and a sleeveless waistcoat which extended to cover her backside. Her hair was short with one longer tuft stretching crookedly upward like a rooster's comb.Her squinting eyes were partially concealed by the tanned sunglasses she wore and she stood near the shore, just outside the private pier encased within a massive warehouse style structure. She anxiously tapped her fingers together as if thumbing out the beat to a tune only she could hear. Simetra was the private agent and Cipher Pol director who reported directly to several of the World Nobles. One might have guessed by her demeanor that she was very stressed indeed, but,truly, she thrived under pressure and the plethora of responsibilities which went along with a noble's visitation was all too familiar to her.The minor fidgeting was her natural disposition, as she was action oriented and task driven. Her employers were rarely as punctual as she desired and as such she had all of the arrangements established and longed to put them to use.

She peered through tinted frames, raising a gloved hand to her face and flicked open the small wrist-bound transponder snail.

4th division: update.She said in a frigid tone.

Reporting in, Sir, we have continued confirmation of the recent spotting of both Tiger K Meruem with North Blue's Jackson Tanner in pursuit. Those 2 along with a band of men were last seen heading into the marshlands on the outskirts of the town. Clouds have been seen rising from the area and several squadrons have been sent to patrol the perimeter leading up to the town.Over

Continue with regular interval responses regarding the situation. Over.She clicked a switch on the wrist-device. Division 3: report.

Roger, Sir, update on Warlord attendees is as such: Tsarna has arrived on the premises along with two unsolicited guests and has been ushered into the waiting lobby. "Pretty Panther" has been registered entering the execution square and will be chaperoned to the meeting hall forthwith."Silver Striker" Shizumi is still being tracked throughout the town and will also be guided toward the gathering promptly.Over.

Keep an extra escort on Panther and provide more frequent updates on position and status due to previously reported unpredictability.Over.Once again she flicked a small notch on the transmission device and communed with a new voice entirely. Division 2: report in.

Regular nautical surveillance response, Sir. The frequent circumnavigating ship patrols continue round the island with little change in accounts.However we have been notified of "The Dead Giveaway" captained by Commodore Prank entering coastal waters to contribute complimentary security forces to the event.Over.

I expected him earlier, but ensure that he and his subordinates are guided to any sectors lacking secure patrols. Any of the three described meeting locations will do. End transmission. In short order she had recollected the entire islands surveillance records and though she ended contact with any of the main inspection divisions, she kept an open channel with the central video den den mushi superintendence station. Said office was connected with a multitude of intermittently switching video snail feeds posted throughout the entire island (and regularly inspected to ensure continued accurate footage). Simetra was somewhat satisfied (if reservedly so) with the responses and felt she was able to wait directly for her soon-to-arrive proprietor. She turned on her heel, and held her arms crossed firmly behind her back while the thick pier doors were opened for her. The entryway was brimming with guards almost as much as inside the private port. No less than 20 separate squads stood at attention in separate, if nearby cubic patterns. A light flashed on the far wall (which was positioned above the waters). Something of a silent alarm which was administered since the gatekeepers received word that the covert Noble's ship approached. The large metal gates gradually creaked open and sloshed the swaying waters about. As the clear vessel entered through the portal it progressively revealed its hull and body while they passed through the threshold of the sheltered dockyard. The doors were quickly resealed once the full ship had entered the bunker-like structure. The magnificent golden foxhead came to a slow crawl and was cushioned against the pier. A grand plank with exquisite railings was extended from the side of the ship and locked into the docks.

Simetra allowed the procession of royal guards to pour out from the opening like tea from a spout. The parade formed orderly lines running the length of the board and onto the wharf. Simetra, confident in her position strode up the slat (and rightfully so, as the elite sentries stood unflinched). She entered into the illustrious transport and reached the select palanquin which contained her employer. As she neared she could faintly hear a muffled voice: "yes....please....time...that's all...". The broken speech was odd, especially considering it was a one person vehicle for Saint Magi alone. However, the Nobles were known to do odd and eccentric things and Simetra decided not to question. Instead she knocked firmly on the dark,wooden door, the window of which slid down momentarily. The rigid woman offered a solemn,if slight, bow of her head to the Saint, then she offered the same intel she had received from her division officers. Magi hurriedly nodded his head, while the meticulously gathered information passed into his ears like nothing more than the wind.

Decoy postings have been established at both the native naval headquarters and the manor-house to defer attention from the meetings true location. To ensure your utmost security each of these locales is being guarded to create anonymity. If you will employ your illusionary feats toward your personal carrier we will provide armed convoys for each in the interest of covertness. No sooner than the idea had been posed Magi had waved her off and one palanquin and two perfect mimics exited the ship in quick succession. The assortment of soldiers waiting within the bunker-like building divided up and surrounded each carrier (each under the impression that they were defending the true noble and heading to the accurate locale as deceived as the rest of the island). After the quick arrangement of troops the entry doors opened and each individual cavalcade exited one after another, proceeding toward one of three locations for the expectant 'Tea Party'.

Tsarna was sitting in the waiting lobby, growing bored. So he thought back on his meeting with Azure, which was two weeks ago. He thought about his new acquired power - the powers of the Phoenix. He was sure not to show them here, at first... "Help her when she needs me. She have given me so much with this. I am forever in her debt. Azure D. Snow - whenever you need me to stand by your side, I will just do that," Tsarna thought to himself. "And I also need to watch out for that Pretty Panther. She has some kind of godly powers. Even if I have a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit now, it may not be enough for me to take her on..well, we will see, as long as I won't make her interested in me, there is nothing to worry about."

As Tsarna was sitting there, in the waiting lobby, a old men came in, wearing a black suit and asked him, if he needed anything. Tsarna replied that he is getting bored already and when will the "Tea Party" begin at last. "I haven't had any breakfast today, so I am a bit hungry. Won't the Party begin already? I think it is the time mentioned in the invitation, so why am I the only one here? Where are the other guests?" Tsarna was wondering. He was wondering, who of the Saints will show up, what will be the topic of the meeting, who of the Schichibukais, besides him and Shizumi, will attend the Tea Party. The old men replied, that he will go and bring Tsarna some snacks, meanwhile Tsarna has to be patient a bit more and wait - it won't take long for the "Tea Party" to start and all those questions, what were on Tsarnas mind, will be answered.

He stared in his mirror as he took off his marine outfit. Slowly but surely he put on his body paint smiling. Oh I just can't wait to attend the tea party many devil fruit users will be there. But most importantly she will be there just what is her ability. I've come across many devil fruits and users alike. However those toys don't quite interest me like that pink hair pirate king reject does. He finished getting ready he was no longer Commodore Frank but undercover CP1 agent. Prank but the world knew him as the notorious Prankster. A pirate who is not a supernova but power could rival one. Prank left his marine war ship undetected as his man was informed her went to land.
Prank had two things on his mind to get more devil fruits information and to get on Pretty Panther good side. For if she could kill the pirate king then she'll be his best bet next to the marine to found what he's looking for. Prank finally made it to land as he was typing in a message on his snail phone. The message read,I, cipher pol agent prank need to enter the tea party. Not as a intended guess but as someone they should at least be expecting it need to gain access to the building. That is all I can say for now I'm afraid I'm around other people. Prank kept on moving making his way to the strange shaped tea party building. Prank finally made it there only to be stopped by marine soldiers.
Are you a guess here or no. Prank looked on carefully then said, Why indeed I am a well known man I was invited here. The marine simply laughed at him,is that so then prove it. Prank smiled" I am the Killing Prank Prankster I assure you my name on there. The marine soldiers looked over the list yet his name wasn't on there.Sorry buddy but no don't see it I'll have to ask you to leave or else you'd be thrown in level 4.
Prank looked on but just kept smiling, you are a new to this type of war game are you not. I assure you that your list said all war lords are invited did it not. The marine soldiers looked on kinda crazy like.As I said before I am a no warlord myself so yes I am invited to this tea party. You two wouldn't want to be the reason a war lord wasn't here do you. they looked on with anger yet fear but just then they received a call clarifying Prank claim. They let him in finally as a old man came to him. Right this way follow me I will show you to the waiting room. Prank said nothing as he went along. Clearly Prank wasn't planning on playing war lord for long as someone was bound to know he was lying. But Prank just had to say hello to his old war lord friend and to make a new one in the Likes of the Pretty Panther. The question was how will he get her to even acknowledge his temptation of friendship without getting himself killed.

Tsarna sits in the waiting room, various thoughts run through his head. "I really am curious about the people who will come and attend the meeting..." and as he was thinking about it, he saw that the door opened and the old men was back - he didn't bring me any snacks, but there was someone with him. The old men came to the waiting room, accompanied by a tall man who didn't seem familiar to Tsarna. Well, he didn't knew all the Warlords, but this one didn't surely look like one of them...

The old men introduced the man to Tsarna - his name was Killing Prank Prankster, the newest addition to the seven Warlords. Tsarna looked at the latest addition and well, when he looked closed, he looked a bit familiar to him, but he couldn't remember, where he has seen that face before. Tsarna sat in the chair as Prankster made his way towards him. Tsarna was minding his own business, but he observed Prankster pretty closely. As he came closer, Tsarna stood up and introduced himself. "Hello Prankster. It is nice to meet a new Schichibukai. My name is Tsarna and just like you, I belong to the Seven Warlords. You look a bit familiar to me from somewhere...have I seen you before somewhere?" As the introduction was done, Tsarna asked the old men again, if he knew when the meeting will at last start, because the time mentioned was already past. The old men apologized and said that all the attendees should arrive very shortly and then the "Tea Party" can finally start.

Subject: Re: The Tea Party: Appetizers Tue Apr 05, 2016 4:39 pm

Prankster looked around the room as he didn't notice his intended target was there yet. The old man soon led him over to the only war lord there at the moment. Prank smiled thinking to himself. " Damn she not here my time here is limited but what do you know he's here".
Soon the real warlord walked up to Prank then introduced himself.My name is Tsarna name and just like you, I belong to the seven war lords. He then told Prank that he looked familiar. Prank smiled then said, You don't remember me we was on the same pirate ship a long time ago however you wasn't as famous as you are now. Don't tell me you forgotten poor old Prankster and here I was hoping we could catch up on good old times.
Prank smile then became a serious looking one as he prepared to ask him something.I know this is out the blue but could I ask you two things if you don't mind. Two oh so very serious questions. Prank looked at him then got a chair lend it on only one of it's four legs then sat on it. Tell me war lord what ever happened to the other members of that now forgotten cre . More or less that curious girl with the sword. Also you wouldn't happen to have any rare devil fruits. I seem to only encounter boring zone types. Prank looked on carefully at Tsarna awaiting his answers. Prank was on barrow time and had to get right to it by cutting out the small talk.

Subject: Re: The Tea Party: Appetizers Tue Apr 05, 2016 5:10 pm

Tsarna was sitting and Prankster introduced himself and told that they both were on the same pirate ship a long time ago. Then suddenly Tsarna remembered something from his past, when he was still not a Schichibukai - well, he wasn't even considered one real pirate yet. There was this ship, a long time ago, when Tsarna wanted to travel in East Blue...And yes, there was some boy the same age that he was this time, but this boy wanted to become a Marine and he was just telling him that he is on the ship to gather some intel on that crew and he will deliver it to the Marines, so he can prove himself and become one. So Tsarna did remember and he said: "Well, oh yeah, I do remember a 15-year old boy from that ship. And this was probably you at that time. Hmmm. How did the intel gathering go? You wanted to become a marine officer, didnt you?" Tsarna looked at Prankster, obviously showing him that he is a bit suspicious of him being a Warlord.

Then Prankster asked two pretty serious questions about the pirate crew where a girl with one sword was part and he were part and then the second question was about a devil fruit which Tsarna should have. Tsarna looked at Prankster and told him that he must have mixed him up with somebody else, because Tsarna wasn't part of a crew where a girl with one sword was also a member. But Tsarna immediately thought about Crimson Snow, the girl, who came two weeks ago to Palatial Island, searching for the Nodachi and who Tsarna protected and looked after. So he immediately fell more suspicious towards Prankster, because this question could have been obviously a staged one, meaning that Prankster could have some information about the events which took place on Palatial Island two to one weeks ago - but the problem was that no Warlord wasn't in that region at this time.

As for the second question, Tsarna paused for a second and said: "What do you mean by "if I have a rare devil fruit on me"? Well, if I would have found one, I obviously have eaten it, but I can assure you that I am still searching for one. Are you asking me it because you are going to offer me one, Prankster? I might be interested." Tsarna said it with a calm voice, showing no signs that he was lieing - but the reality was that he had the power of the Phoenix, but it was still to early to show it to everybody. Tsarna thought that the best way is to keep it in the secret for now, because he might need to use it afterwards and the best way to use a power is if somebody doesn't know that you have the power.

Tsarna answered the both questions which Prankster asked him, looked in his eyes and was ready to play a little game with him - just to see if he really is who he is claiming to be. "Prankster, the crew, which we both were part in. Do you know what happened to them? Well, I didn't know for a very long time, but then I found the information later. It turned out that someone has given the marines pretty good information about the pirate crew hideout and even when they were not in their hideout, so the marines could go there, set up a ambush and so they all fell...It is a bit funny, because I couldn't find no news that a young boy has been imprisoned also in this raid. It really is suspicious, because like I said before, I did remember that this young boy had a plan to sell out the crew to the marines to become one himself. I can imagine that whoever could have done it, could be a pretty good spy for the Government right now...Well, I am talking too much and for too long right now, I am sorry about that, Mar...I mean Prankster" As he was talking, Tsarna observed every facial movement from Prankster...and read his body language. "It looks very suspicious. I think that he is not telling the whole story here. But who am I to question or to report. I am just taking part in the "Tea Party" so I won't do anything...even if he isn't a Warlord and a spy for the Government instead, I am not going to do anything about it. I will just play along and look how it play out," Tsarna thought to himself as he was staring at Prankster.

It was like a game of chess. Tsarna has made his move, now it was Prankster's turn.

Subject: Re: The Tea Party: Appetizers Tue Apr 05, 2016 5:39 pm

Prankster smiled and very creepy smile as the warlord was talking. He looked on and could tell Tsarna could tell he wasn't really a warlord. This was very very impressive as Prank is very good at playing the trick game. He looked then said, To answer your question I was that boy and I did sell out those foolish pirates.plus even more after that but I killed my marine captain. Then became wanted myself see how that worked out warlord Tsarna. But listen I been more then around the corner I been to the new world and back. But as you can see you are in the same boat as me why because you are a warlord just as I am. We both decided to take thier offer of joining them. Prank looked up then smiled, As you can see I ask you them questions because I wanted to know. But the devil fruits information collect them then sell them only the most powerful and rare. If the devil fruit has a user I kill them and take it see it's good business. However I saw you weeks ago on a island doing God knows what there. But I had other interests at the time. Listening I might be a warlord but I am part of Pretty crew I'm her right hand. Prank knew if he said such a lie he would get Tsarna to react in some way.
Prank smiled as he looked at him, and as you know she killed the former pirate king. But to be fair you was a very big fan of Snow yes. Some even said you cried when she died. Don't worry I won't try to fight you at this time I could tell your stronger somehow. However if you dare lay a finger on me Pretty Panther will kill you and your crew. So don't do anything that dead Snow would see where it got her.
Prank smiled as he had one more very important piece of information only he knew and Tsarna did. Prank was sure to let him know what it was and how he got it. Prank set his bait now it's time for this warlord to take it. For if his cover is blown it could end bad for him.

Subject: Re: The Tea Party: Appetizers Wed Apr 06, 2016 11:47 am

Tsarna listened to Prankster as he told him about the truth that he sold out those pirates, who they both were travelling with and about the part what happened after the sell out - but Tsarna just didn't buy that Prankster killed the Marine captain. And then Prankster said that he is part of Pretty Panthers crew - he is his right hand man he told Tsarna. After he told Tsarna that, Tsarna knew that Prankster wasn't telling the truth.

Tsarna smiled, got closer to Prankster and whispered in his ear:"Listen here, Prankster. You are telling me that you are part of Panthers crew, but you don't say that you are affiliated with her, but that you are her right hand man. That simply means that you cannot be a Warlord because she is a Warlord herself and the Government does not make two people in the SAME crew Warlords. You yourself have to blame yourself that you talked yourself into a corner here, marine spy Prankster. But the thing is, I don't even care if you are a spy, because it does not concern me, so you can take part in the meeting. But beware - don't go on thinking that you can be friends with Pretty Panther. She will crush you."

And then Tsarna spoke loudly: "And the thing concerning Azure. I am still very fond of her, yes. She hold peace in many island in the New World. After she died, the protection of these islands disappeared and you have heard yourself what happened on those island - how many innocent people died and suffered. But the Government didn't do nothing to help those people - they saw it as a punishment for the people for wanting to be safe from other pirates and that they gave their islands in the protection of Azure D. Snow. So yes - I cried when she died, because I knew, what fate those families on those islands will have." Tsarna felt just anger towards the World Government about this because the lives that were lost after the execution of "Azure D. Snow" were countless and after all - they were pointless: The Government just had to send some marines to help those people, but they didn't do so.

Subject: Re: The Tea Party: Appetizers Wed Apr 06, 2016 2:08 pm

He smiled such a deadly smile after the warlord was done talking. I'm a spy yes but not for the Marines to be frank. Your not better than I so once I join up with Pretty Panther I'll tell her that I believe there's a snow out there. You see I been trailing this girl who looks an awful lot like the late pirate king. I truly believe that's who you met up with on that island. He continued to talk lowly, I lost track of her yes but there has been reports of her sightings. You see I'm like a network of information being a underworld broker and all. The thing about the pirate king death to me is that after her death there was no body. Yes they so called hunted down her crew but where is her body. That leaves me to this question since all that power Pretty Panther has did she truly score a victory over the pirate king. Plus with all that might the marine used did they really kill her. If so these two things have 1 in common there was no body no pure truth of death and since the young woman I been trailing favor the late pirate king. That lead me to believe she either has a younger sister or The demon gave birth to a devil.
He began to talk loudly , so with that being said your freaking smart guy I know things that I haven't even told my higher ups yet. That's because I'm going to- well never you mind that. But tell me I'm looking for the mystical zoan devil fruit the Phoenix and the Buddha. I will need them plus Pretty Panther on my side. I need all this to kill the great threat that would destroy my celestial dragons world. Now tell me what's her name the name of the devil the demon may have or not birth.
Prank reveal enough not it's to little information of his true end game but Prank knows one thing the warlord knows more then he letting on.

Subject: Re: The Tea Party: Appetizers Wed Apr 06, 2016 6:57 pm

Tsarna listened to those wild accusations that he had met a girl on a certain island. "Hey Prankster - tell me. Who have I met and where? And I have been on many different islands when I travelled here to Fusion Island. Yes, I have met some females on the way, but you are probably accusing me of meeting someone that would be dangerous for the World Government, whom you serve?" Tsarna thought at the same time in his meeting with Crimson and Azure on Palatial Island - but he could breath easily on that regard because he was pretty sure that no one did see them.

Tsarna listened to Prankster as he told the story that the demon, meaning the "former" Pirate King gave birth to a devil. This was something that angered Tsarna very much because he believed that children can't be blamed for whatever their parents do. Tsarna stood up, looked at Prankster with a cold look and continued his response "Listen up, and listen good - Prankster, a spy for the Government. It is one thing that you enter this meeting to report what is happening during the meeting, which I do not care. But you are starting to make me feel uncomfortable when you are talking to me. You are accusing a child of being a devil? Are you serious, Soldier of Justice? It starts to annoy me, so you better stop!"

But Prankster continued to demand the name of this "devil" child. Tsarna was thinking about his own childhood, losing his parents and sister when he was very young - what a sad life it was. And then he only could picture how the life of Crimson was, being born to the Pirate King. Her life is probably full of tears and pain, but she still thrives to become stronger, to overcome the hardships. Tsarna was now pretty upset because of what Prankster demanded and how he talked about things, he himself didn't understand.

But then he realised that there was no point in getting mad, because when someone is being mad, he could say things that he would regret on a later point. So Tsarna closed his eyes, breathed deeply and opened his eyes - he wasn't mad anymore but realised that Prankster just was trying to get him mad, so he would tell him something important or he could use his Devil Fruit powers and so revealing that he in fact had the powers of the Phoenix. Tsarna moved a bit further away from Prankster and answered: "It is smart from you, because you know my past, to play the child card. But you have already lost that argument, but I have to admit, you got me for a second there, I started to get a bit mad. But I realise that there is no point arguing with you. As for the part finding the devil fruits - good luck with that. If I would have one of those devil fruits, I wouldn't want to help you, Prankster. Because the way you think about people - it is just disgusting."

Tsarna sat down the opposite side of where Prankster sat - he didn't want to have anything to do with that guy.

Subject: Re: The Tea Party: Appetizers Wed Apr 06, 2016 7:39 pm

Seeing all this Prankster was running out of time so his best bet was to play the hero card. He walked over to where Tsarna was then sat on the floor by him. Although Prankster crossed the line he frankly didn't care he couldn't care he was trained not to care. He looked up at him then said, you been though it huh. Haven't we all you know I did met the former pirate king once although it was when I was no more then 5. Up until that point I had a happy childhood. My family was circus folks we loved to preform. One day after our show I was at a bar with my papa. There she was laughing and drinking away without a care in the world. We left soon after that but no later then 2 hours a small battle ensured. It was between her crew and another faction. To make a long story short that battle took place at our circus of all places.
He pulled out a cigar then lit it blowing smoke.
I lost everything that day my family my home my LIFE. I hated her guts after that not because she let my family die but because she broke her promise. Her promise was to protect that now lost island a name is can't even remember nor do I want to. I wanted nothing more than to kill her for that. Half a day later the marine found me I was label a war orphan. Thus they took me to this place with others like me. Soon we became Cipher pol #1 my new family. I could smile once again however that didn't last. Our last mission together was to stop some crazy ass pirate simple enough but she was something right out of godland. She took us out without even trying. That was Pretty Panther I'll lived to tell the tell because she let me. But I worked a mask back then. But these two people had something I didn't power and allies to go with it. It's just I'm so caught up to believe the pirate king didn't die it would be like giving up on my dream. But she's not the one I want it's her offspring. I do feel she could surpass her mother and or sister whichever one she is. So yes the reason why I'm gathering the strongest of the devil fruit users is to be strong enough to at least stand a chance against her.
He smiled looking down, The reason I said I was part of her crew was because I knew you was a ally to the former pirate king. I just know if you loved Snow not in a romantic way but if you loved her then you would hate Pretty Panther that I guaranted. I came to because of your reputation and what not being this strong in the new world one would think you had a devil fruit I guess I was wishful thinking. So the truth is important building an alliance to take out that Pretty demon. We both have the same goals here stop Pretty Panther. Tell me war lord is what I'm saying not the truth then if that's the case kill me right now for a mere human can not kill a goddess. But with those ruby eyes I just know a devil can.
He looked up blowing smoke looking at the true war lord of the sea.

Subject: Re: The Tea Party: Appetizers Thu Apr 07, 2016 1:39 pm

Tsarna has misjudged Prankster a bit - well, if the story, what he told him about his past, when he was 5 years old and he lost all his family, was true, then it is a sad story indeed. Our pasts might seem to be the same in this way - I just lost my family when I was a bit older.

Tsarna answered to Prankster about the incident which led to his families demise: "I am really terrible sorry, if that is what happened to you in the past. I can see now that you are telling the truth. But believe me - I can assure you with all my heart. Azure didn´t want you family to die. She never did kill someone innocent in her past. I think that the people who lost their live that night on the circus ground, haunted Azure all her life until her execution. But Prankster, I understand, why you are mad and I won´t stop you hating her for that, because this is something that only you can decide, but believe me, if there is some child, do not blame him or her. She wasn´t there and didn´t hurt you family. How did you feel yourself, when your family died? Living all alone? Well, if there is a descendant of the Pirate King, believe me, she or he is also feeling the same way right now as we did in the past. Do not hate a child, just because the parents did something wrong, please." Tsarna did mean everything from the bottom of his heart.

Then he listened Prankster telling about the plan what he had according Pretty Panther. Tsarna thought about it a bit and then he told Prankster that they need more allies to go against her because she has some godly powers. Tsarna told more that she is a Warlord right now, so they can´t just go and fight her without reasons, so they have to make a bigger plan to take her down. Tsarna has heard about everything what Pretty Panther has done in her past and those things really wasn´t nice - and the Government was so afraid of her that they granted her the powers to go on freely killing anyone who she wanted. She went on and killed every single person on a island in South Blue - just for fun. And the Government cleaned up after her - telling the public that Azure D. Snow has done it. And this cover-up went on every single time, when she was feeling bored and killed many people. Tsarna told Prankster that if he had any information which could help him to make preparations to kill Pretty Panther, he should give them to Tsarna. Then Tsarna stressed that they won´t certainly make a move during the Tea Party, but they will meet one month after it on a certain island to share the intelligence and make up a plan. Then there should be more allies also to take Pretty Panther down.

Tsarna then continued: "I trust you on that, Prankster. And as a sign of the trust I have in you, I will show you something. But beware - if you are going to stab me in the back, please don´t complain if you find a knife in your back sooner than you think it would be possible. Now watch!" Tsarna lifter his right arm and blue flames started to come out from the top of his hand. "Do you know what those blue flames are, Prankster?"

So Tsarna has shown a proof that he cannot be underestimated by anyone anymore - he has shown Prankster, that he has eaten the Tori Tori no mi: Model - Phoenix, a mythical Zoan devil fruit. This in fact, made Tsarna a lot more powerful than he was before.

Subject: Re: The Tea Party: Appetizers Thu Apr 07, 2016 3:44 pm

Prankster looked on and smiled at the fact that Tsarna said not to hate the child. Prank knew he was misjudged on that very reason alone, how could I hate someone I never met. Or never did a thing to me but isn't it funny how fate works. They say everything happens in your life for a reason. Tsarna began to tell him the deeds Pretty did in her life than blamed them on Snow. Nor not to try anything at the tea party.
Next he showed him his arm Prank wonder why. Until his arm had blue flames on them. At first he thought was this the flame flame fruit. No it couldn't be but then he realized it was none other then that one.
By the gods you lucky boy you found it you found the Phoenix model mystical zoan. It was said it was hidden away where only the brave yet humble will found it. I memorized almost all the devil fruits. But damn this is a feat worth while I know one thing you didn't get that strong with this fruit. But something telling me your even stronger now. But meet in one month very well we could this will give me some time to join Pretty ranks to get the information on her and her crew. But we can't be to carefull if the rumors true than around this time she wants to become the new pirate king.
He took another puff than looked over to him and said, I have others who have joined my cause and these boys devil fruits put them around yours. One control the earth and another control well shadows. We plan to make our alliance known soon and alliance that will forever change this era but to do that we must kill the wannabe pirate king Pretty. Now I'm not asking you to join as a permanent member. But to join this all powerful power to stop a all powerful threat. Plus you being you you just gotta have some powerful allies of your own.
He blow smoke,

N/A WORDS

@KAMINA @Prankstar

let's join forces,

we've got our guns and horses. i know you've been burned, but every fire is a lesson learned.

The sound of clattering feet against the jungles thick flora, as the marine corps charged through the forest to observe the situation between Tanner and Meruem. When they arrived at the scene however there was only one thing they could report to HQ. Tanner was defeated and his men's bodies decorated the forest, their skin filled with second degree burns from Tiger's immense heat. Though the marshland terrains were humid, a few of the marines began to strip their jackets and thick overcoats, none of them could understand why the jungle was plagued by this sweltering heat. In the bushes, the marines examined as John and Tiger's dialogue distracted them from the fact that they were both surrounded. "Is that man he's talking to his nakama?" one of the marines whispered. "Possible. Tiger hasn't been reported to be traveling with a crew prior. Apparently he has a habit of hijacking merchant ships for transportation, if he has a crew now, this would be a big scoop to report to the higher ups." one of the senior officials informed. "Target?" Tiger inquired, titling his head to the side in confusion. "Yes... Right now on this island, the rumor has it that the Royal Shichibukai, the Warlords of the Sea are gathering here." John stated. Tiger's eyes popped out and opening wide with excitement, "The Warlords are here on this island!?" Tiger said, wiggling his arms in excitement. "I knew you had some nuts loose... That's nothing to rejoice about. If they were to break out into a fight, this island would be screwed. What's worse is the other rumor..." the merchant John said sweating. "There's more!?" Tiger listened on in pure glee, maybe his curiosity to inspect a Warlord was drawing closely. "One of the World Nobles are reported to be heading here-" John said, however, Tiger lost interest, picking his noose and flicking his booger, flicking onto a nearby plant. It's impact caused the plant's glossy surface to burn open a hole on it's leaf. "I'm not interested in World Nobles! I don't even know what a World Noble is? Sounds like a complicated dish with no flavor." Tiger said, switching to cleaning his ears. "After I clean up with my guests, I 'guess' I'll go and visit this meeting!" Tiger said, happy with his rhyming of words, so content with it, he almost glared towards John in hopes of seeing him chuckle or smile. "Guests?" the man asked confused. Grabbing onto John's collar, Tiger dashed further into the marshlands, the marines who had formed the perimeter had already circled around the teen and his hostage. "He's getting away!" the commanding officer shouted. "Follow him brats! Don't loose sight! We don't want the Cipher Pol complaining about our incompetence!" the commanding officer shouted.

Subject: Re: The Tea Party: Appetizers Fri Apr 08, 2016 1:03 am

Tsarna sat and listened to Pranksters offer - he told Tsarna that he agrees to meet in a months time and he also has some allies. Tsarna was wondering about those allies so he asked Prankster to introduce them a bit more to Tsarna - the one who can control Earth, and the other one, who controls Shadows. "Hey Prankster, tell me more about your allies - I´m kinda interested to hear who they are and how strong they are."

Then Prankster said that Tsarna would have probably allies on his side too. Tsarna thought about the situation for a moment then decided not to name his allies...not yet. Well, the one thing was, because one ally was not so liked by Prankster, but in one months time he must accept the offer. And...one ally was presumed death and that had to stay this way for now. "Prankster, do not worry - I will find some strong allies who will aid our good cause. The most important thing is that we come up with a very good plan in one months time. And we need many back-up plans when something doesn´t go how we want it to go. The idea of you joining Pretty Panther´s crew is pretty good but you must understand one thing - she doesn´t trust no one and when you give her one second where she has doubts about you, she will just kill you. So you should probably think this plan over. It would be an extreme advantage to us, when we have inside information about her crew and her plans, but it is not so important that you have to risk your life, Prankster."

Then the old men came into the waiting room again and told about the current situation - the Schichibukais, Pretty Panther and Shizumi, will arrive shortly. The location of other Schichibukais, if some are on the island, is unknown. He also told Tsarna and Prankster that there have been reports of a Supernova being on the island, but the Marines are dealing with him right now. He added that the World Noble will arrive shortly also, so the security measures will be on another level in the castle, if that happens. Tsarna asked the old men, who was that Supernova who is running loose on the island. The old men answered that it was Tiger, who had the power of Atsu Atsu No Mi and a bounty of 130 900 000 beli. "It would be fun to have a little battle with him - his heat against my Phoenix flames: which would be stronger? I would bet on my flames," Tsarna thought to himself...

Subject: Re: The Tea Party: Appetizers Fri Apr 08, 2016 1:51 am

Prankster looked on as Tsarna told him about his plans but than stopped. When he said to risk his life, to risk ones life for one's dream is a pretty cheap price Prank thought. Honestly does it matter if I die sooner than later. I mean we marine put on our suits to fight piracy. Every day soldiers with families never return home. The moment I speak to Pretty my life will have already had ended. Why because if I do get on her ship than betray her. Someone will hunt Me down and we'll end me. Sure I could take off this make up and be a totally different person. But why I only joined the Marines because it was my best chance of revenge. You though I never think things threw to the end. I came to you without much of a second thought. You discovered my secret. That I'm part of Cipher pol an agent for the government. If you was to tell people that my life would surely be over. But I can tell your good at keeping secrets.
The old man came to tell them of more news before he took his leave.
So she almost here ok time to set up the plan. So Tsarna in one month time we will meet. The place we'll meet is called she'll town in the east blue. It was a town that pirates took over after the pirate king death. But I now protect it. But it's under my Commodore Frank presona. However I'm going to go upon her ship soon that I know. But what I don't know is will I be getting off. But for my allies one is a pirate you may or may not heard of him and the other is part of the revolutionary army. We three was friends for a long time now.
He gets up then handed Tsarna a piece of his vivi card. The card is said to be a reflection of it's owner soul. Which would explain the small barrier like object around it.
If that card still has a barrier on it in one month that means I'm still alive in she trust me. It also means I must play as if I'm really part of her crew. So well attack me if you must. But if the card is no more than I have been K.I.A but the information is still there. With Lelouch as I said meet him at shell town or us.
Prankster began to walk away than turned away with a happy but sad smile than turned around l, and for the record I think I understand what the former pirate king meant when she said that. Besides you talk down on the world government like we are the bad guys. I mean your right we did look the other way on all those people. But they made they choice to go with the pirate king. They was not part of the world government. That's why us Cipher pol is around in mean if you think the world is a bad place with the government in it just wait til you see it without us. Well I have to go now it seems the supernova Tiger is here he shouldn't be. So til we meet again remember don't forget to smile. He waved his hand backwards as he began to leave preparing to put his master plan in motion.

@KAMINA @Prankstar

let's join forces,

we've got our guns and horses. i know you've been burned, but every fire is a lesson learned.

"Tch. I'm drawing too much attention to myself lugging around John. However, he's my ticket off this island." Tiger thought. Adjusting his wizard hat, "I guess it's time to take a stand now." Tiger said sticking out his tongue. Winding up his arms like a spring, Tiger shot the ship owner twenty five meters into the distance, away from the current encirclement. "My names 'Bug Shot' Lee... I ate the Sahara Ant Fruit. Your temperatures won't effect me pirate brat. Men, formation alpha!" the marine commander shouted. Twenty marines surrounded the man in a two layer circular formation, the outer layer containing marksman, where as the inner layer carried weapons. Each marine gave themselves five meter spaces between each other, allowing the shooters to fire in between the gaps. "It's funny how..." Tiger said, placing his arms on the ground, "Most marines always expect me to be this one trick pony..." Tiger said, sticking out his tongue to taunt the marine. Launching himself off the ground about eight meters into the air, steam began to trickle off the man's body, surrounding him in the form of a whirlwind, suspending the pirate in mid-air, about five meters away from the ground at this point. Releasing the heated air as a gusting burst, six of the marines within the inner circles dropped their blades due to the heat of the whirlwind which was now ravishing through their troops. The Commander rushed towards Tiger, leaping at immense speeds and with great agility, closing the distance in one hop. Covering the tip of his legs in Haki, the Commander tried to strike Tiger in his throat, fatally wounding him. Coating his hands in Chi, Tiger hopped backwards from the path of the ants strike, leaping into mid-air, using his long lands to propel him above the Commander. Spinning in mid-air, Tiger slammed his fist into the Ant's back, "Spiritual Visage + Weighted Punches!" Tiger shouted. The force of Tiger's punch drove the marine Commander into the ground, immunity to the heat though useful, couldn't take away from the weight of his punches due to Chi. The remaining marines disarmed, retreating from the Supernova, due to his heating up body, only fourteen marines remained. However, Tiger didn't stay around long enough to count how many lasted, launching himself in the direction of John, the pirate looked around the area, attempting to find John. They were now close to the entrance of the marshland, which would take them back to the streets which led either to the district or in the direction towards the conference of the Warlord's, that John 'warned' him about.

Tsarna listened to Prankster when he told about that it really doesn´t matter if he dies tomorrow or in a couple of years. Tsarna answered to Prankster "Well, don't be too fast to throw your life away, Prankster. Because you have joined also the Marines because you are believing in some sort of Justice, whatever it means for you. So I just hope that you will be really careful when you join Panther's crew. And well - you say that someone will hunt you down if you betray her. That is why we need to make a good plan, how to deal with every single member of her crew. We, for sure, are not just going after her, but we need to get rid of her whole crew, because they are also a bunch of monsters, who kill innocent civilians just for fun."

Prankster listened to Tsarna and then continued his speech about the place where they are going to meet - it will be Shell Town on East Blue in one months time. Prankster handed a Vive Card, what reacted to Prankster's life force and this will also show if he will be alive in one months time. When he won't, then I have to meet with Lelouch, who would have the information which Prankster will gather during the time he will part of Panther's crew. Tsarna took the Vive Card and as Prankster started to walk off, Tsarna said that he will meet him, and he better be alive in one months time. He also added that he will come to Shell Town with his allies, so they can start their move to take down Pretty Panther from there.

Prankster left the waiting room and Tsarna thought about the thing what Prankster said about the World Government - well, could it really be that the World would be much more worse if there wasn't no Government in place. That, sadly, maybe would be true. The World is full of hatred and people who just want to raid and cause harm to other people. So, Tsarna gave some credit to the Marines, who also have been a force of good in some ways. They have also used their power to get rid of pretty bad people. But still, after those thoughts, Tsarna saw that the Government has double standards about the lives of people and that is simply somethings, Tsarna cannot and won't understand. Tsarna concluded on his thoughts about this issue that there are Marines, just like Pirates, who are good and fight for the right things - but there are also bad apples among any group. But the problem is that the higher-ups in the Government, like the Saints, are pretty selfish and have only their own interst in their minds.

As Tsarna was sitting in the waiting room, he heard a commotion in the front of the castle. Well - it was like some fighting was going on, so Tsarna moved to the windows to watch what was going on. He first thought that probably Pretty Panther has arrived and she didn't like how the soldiers in the front of the castle were dressed, so she just attacked them. But there was someone else down there - it was the Supernova called Tiger. "Hmmm, this is going to be interesting. Let's see what he is going to do down there. Finally - some fun before the waiting," Tsarna thought to himself.

Prankster gathering the information that he needed he was happy as he left the waiting room. He told the guards he needed some fresh air they there not question a warlord he smiled at such an idea. Prankster now had the stone stone fruit user whom can turn into the earth. He was a very been threat to anyone but he was still waiting on word from him. Then Prankster gather with the Shadow Shadow fruit user. Someone who abilities are just as bad no even deadlier. Both men are extremely powerful individuals. Now after that small meeting Prankster could add the warlord Tsarna to the alliance ranks. Someone who has the mystical zoan devil fruit the Phoenix. Which such power these man could change history if they competed there mission. But not to forget about Prank whom devil fruit is one of if not the best defensive devil fruit there is. Prank was standing outside on the roof of the building looking over it as he continued to change. Finally putting on his hat of justice. Prank looked down at the supernova Tiger evil deeds. Prankster had already alerted his marine Brunch A.O.J to come. They should arrive in moments time. Tiger, just look at him he killed many marine today with quite ease to. His devil fruit is amazing so much heat he could be useful to the alliance. Just not trusted source either he help me or I will kill him and take his devil fruit. Thanks give it to someone who will just like I did to the shadow shadow user. ju than Prank jumped down off the high end building just before crushing to the ground he flipped over landing on his feet. Breaking the ground from the impact. The landing scared the guards who was watching the front entrance as they felled. Prankster now in his Commodore Frank look then set down in a preying like way Putting up his barrier right before someone try to walk on the bridge. OK now to play the waiting game only those who are invited may pass these barrier of indestructible justice.
