Nico Stone | 20 | Cook | Mythic-Jade Pirates | Tagging: Linkk | Location: Hanging Muse, Infirmary


"Heh…sometimes you don’t really need a reason. It just is," Nico stood up and nodded towards the doctor, who had returned to counting the supplies, then returned his attention to Linkk, offering him a hand up. "Of course. Lean on me if you need a hand getting around. I’m right here, we'll take it at your pace so you’re not pushing yourself more than you have to," he promised. Nico's job was to be of help right now, and that was exactly what he intended to do.


Kassandra DeMarks | 25 | Captain/Navigator | Calm Belt Pirates | Tagging: Karter, Navii | Location: Stormchaser


"Don’t worry yourselves about us. Out there on the Grand Line, the only people you two should be worrying about is yourselves," Kass pointed out. The Grand Line was infamous for killing those who weren’t on their guard. It was a dangerous place. Truthfully, Kass had worried it would be too much for their entire crew, let alone two folks who were no more than children themselves. "Just promise you’ll be careful out there. Expect the unexpected."


Coby Angelos (Alias "Orekani") | 22 | Admiral | Marines | S.W.O.R.D. Agent | Tagging: Lucian | Location: Home -> Town


"Literally anyone above his rank can give him orders. Tashigi is Captain of a whole other division, she came in from G-5 not long ago, so she has command over a smaller group, but if push comes to shove, yes. As for the duties thing…" Coby stared down at the ground, he’d always known of Helmeppo's hopes and dreams, always encouraged him. "He’s on patrols, on smaller duties, grunt work, stuff like that." His shoulders slumped. "I know I have the authority to remove his restriction, help him move forward, but Admiral Dokuhebi was right. Someone can’t break the rules without punishment, and that’s coming from ME, who does reckless stuff on a regular basis."


Helmeppo | 25 | Ensign | Marines | Tagging: Anya | Location: Marine HQ


"Ask the Admiral about it. You’re a Lieutenant Commander, you’re authorized to act as a first mate on board a Captain's ship for assignments, and to have command over the Lieutenant divisions." Well. Really, all the subordinate ranks. That was how this kind of hierarchy worked. Not long ago, Helmeppo had been her direct superior. Nowadays, it was her who had the authority to boss him around all she liked.


Trafalgar Law | 29 | Captain/Doctor | Heart Pirates | Tagging: Buck | Location: Polar Tang


That smile. Law would actually kill for that smile. It just made everything all the brighter. There had been a while when he had worried that maybe Buck wouldn’t find his way back, and when they’d found each other, Buck had hesitated on leaving the crew he’d sailed with for a while. In the end though, he always came back to Law. That was how it had always been. Hopefully, how it would always be. This was someone Law loved, and Law didn’t love many people. Buck was special in a way that tugged at his heart, a way he couldn’t explain. Right now, even in a world that seemed to have it out for him, while he was wrapped in Buck’s arms, Law was safe. Everything would be okay, no matter what.

That tiny kiss made Law smile, a real, genuine smile, and this time, one that wasn’t so fleeting, but lingered. "I know." He ran his fingers through thick fur, a feeling he loved, and hadn’t realized he’d missed until he’d had the chance to feel it again. Sure, he had Bepo and all, but that was an entirely different feeling that this, both physically and emotionally. "I’m so, so glad you came back. I knew deep down you would, but there was a moment where I wondered if you’d have chosen to maintain contact with me, but stay with the Calm Belts," he admitted.

Buck ★ Cook ★ Heart Pirates ★ Tagging: Law ★ Location: Polar Tang

Buck's tail started up again upon seeing such a genuine, heartfelt smile on Law's face, nothing could compare to that, no star could shine brighter, he was so beautiful it made Buck's heart speed up tenfold. He fought to keep his eyes trained on the man when slender fingers running through his fur made his eyelids feel heavy with joy from the simple touch. "Oh, Traffy... I couldn't bear being away from you. I made friends, sure, but no one will ever come close to you, you are my one and only." Buck nuzzled the crook of his captain's neck adoringly, inhaling that comfortingly familiar bitter scent of black coffee and antiseptic.

Trafalgar Law | 29 | Captain/Doctor | Heart Pirates | Tagging: Buck | Location: Polar Tang


"And you’re a sap," Law teased. He kissed Buck's cheek when Buck leaned down to nuzzle him. "I love you." He could say it over and over again, or hear it, and never get tired of it. He didn’t know yet in what sense, all he knew was that Buck was the person closest to his heart, and that was all that mattered. "As much as I’d love to sit here and cuddle for the rest of the day, I did promise I’d check the books. If this is some heart condition, then I need to know about it. Wanna come research with me?" Law didn’t usually let people into his office or let them lay a hand on his carefully-organized medical books and research journals, but Buck wasn’t just a friend, he likewise was a doctor. If anyone understood the true value of the organized setting and the content of the works, it’d be him.

[foxfields]

Buck ★ Cook ★ Heart Pirates ★ Tagging: Law ★ Location: Polar Tang

Buck's tail sped up even more, his ears pressed back with unparalleled joy. "I love you too Traffy!" Buck announced with enthusiasm, as if it wasn't more obvious than fish belonging in water. Law was inviting him to assist in the research? If that wasn't just the most wonderful thing! Buck may have gotten a little too excited because he abruptly stood from the couch, captain still lovingly cradled in his arms and body swaying in place to accommodate how hard his tail was wagging. "Yes please!! I would be honored to, Captain!!"

Trafalgar Law | 29 | Captain/Doctor | Heart Pirates | Tagging: Buck | Location: Polar Tang


"Whoa whoa whoa, slow down there, bud! You’re gonna throw us BOTH out the window at this point," Law joked at the uneven swaying. Maybe that was a bit exaggerated, but he was allowed to tease. A little. Law didn’t tease that often, he didn’t see the point in it most of the time, but as with everything else, Buck was different. What was that about? Why was Buck different in just about every scenario he could imagine?

Coby (Admiral Alias "Orekani") | 21 | Fleet Admiral | Marines | S.W.O.R.D. Agent | Tagging: Anya, Lucian | Location: Marine Headquarters, Office


Coby slumped on his desk, putting his head in his hands. That letter. That damn letter. Warnings, threats, what he could only interpret as an invasion. The last line was "we're coming", for the love of god! He groaned. Two days since he had become the Fleet Admiral, less than a year since he’d risen to Admiral, and he was already dealing with some big drama? Well…I understand why both the former Fleet Admirals were under so much stress. He sighed, dragging himself up again, only to fall back against his seat.

I can’t lay here, slouching around forever. The longer I stay here, the more ground the enemy covers. He reminded himself. Coby shot to his feet and slid his jacket on. Bright orange stripes and cuffs now replaced blue, in keeping with his title, Orekani, the orange crab. He’d swapped his old turquoise scarf out for an orange one too, but that aside, the rest of his outfit was virtually the same. He liked change, but he also liked familiarity, and he didn’t need fancy suits or trademarks to do his job. Coby swept out of his office, all but slamming the door behind him as he went. It was fair to say that after receiving the letter, his good mood was inveritably ruined.

"Ensign Helmeppo, Admiral Kurataka's division, now. Master Chief Petty Officer." Coby nodded towards Lucian. Not even noon and things were already getting chaotic. "I need you to gather as many of the others Marines as you can, authorized or not for assignments, we need all hands on deck, I’ll explain to the group when I can. Lieutenant Commander Anya, a word?" He called, catching sight of them.


Kitchi Tala | 22 | Commander | Marines | Tagging: Kirsten | Location: Marine Headquarters


"Admiral Kurataka!" Kitchi hurriedly threw open the door, only realizing his rudeness after the fact, and saluted awkwardly, trying his best to stop himself from shaking as he had been up until that point. "Apologies." He cleared his throat and held out the letter in his hand. "This came to the Fleet Admiral today, a literal message in a bottle, and he said it would be good if you knew as well, to be aware of the situation. It’s not signed, which he doesn’t trust, but…it sounds like someone's out for our blood," he noted.

Kitchi himself had yet to read the letter, but Coby was not a man to hide his emotions, no matter what they may be, and the alarm that had been written on his face had been enough for Kitchi to know that whoever had sent this message hadn’t sent it with their best wishes. Coby already an idea of what to do, but it was Kirsten who was the better at gathering the group and making them work together. Coby was the outer face, who led, but it was Kirsten much of the time who kept them all in line.

"I have no idea what it says, but Fleet Admiral Orekani…uh…didn’t look so happy about it. I’ve seen him freak out before, but I’ve never seen him have such a strong reaction to something before. You’ll have to read and judge for yourself how bad the situation could get," he added. Sure, Kitchi wanted to know what had caused the commotion, but nobody had said yet that the knowledge was his to have, and he had to respect that.


Eustass Kid | 24 | Captain | Kid Pirates | Tagging: Open | Location: Ship


Kid had spotted them first, when he’d been out on the main deck of the Victoria Punk. He had needed a breather, just a couple minutes to relax, which meant he must be under a lot of stress, this coming from KID. He saw the water part, watched as several figures emerged from the sea effortlessly. Some humanoid, and some less so, almost all of them armed in some way, shape or form, and headed by a literal child, the figure was so short. He narrowed his eyes. Out on the Grand Line, he had learned to take every anomaly seriously, regardless of how insignificant to them it may seem.

"Hey, Killer, look." When his friend joined him to peer out at the advancing army, Kid finally allowed himself to look away. "Keep an eye on them, and pull us in to shore if there’s a safe space, we need to head to the mainland, looks like that’s where these weirdos are headed. Whatever this is, I don’t trust it, and I don't like it. I’m warning the rest of the crew," he announced, and disappeared belowdecks. "Hey, Heat, Wire!"

[sunhorsestar]

Helmeppo | 25 | Ensign | Marines | Tagging: Coby, Kirsten, Kitchi | Location: Marine Headquarters


Helmeppo saluted. "Yessir." He wanted to ask what was wrong. The last time he’d seen Coby in such a strong panic, had sensed it, had been…Marineford. That was almost six YEARS ago. This was the last thing Coby needed. Helmeppo had forgotten it was his 21st birthday yesterday in all the work that needed to be done, and now Coby was flying into a panic. I'll talk to him later. If Lucian hasn’t already made him chill, I will once this mess is done with.

Helmeppo headed towards the standing Admiral's office and shakily hesitated outside. He could hear Commander Kitchi's voice inside the office, and he dared not disturb them just yet. It was a well known fact there was tension between the two Admirals, and since Coby had by some means won their match— Helmeppo wasn’t surprised— he now had to worry that friends of Coby's would become enemies of Kirsten's. That was never a good position to be in.

"Admiral Kurataka?" Helmeppo knocked on the door, trying and failing to banish any signs of anxiety or weakness from his voice. He was supposed to be dead in accordance with the Marine code of Absolute Justice, and this was a woman who took no nonsense. Coby wouldn’t have sent me if he thought I would be placed in danger, right? He saluted. "Co- I mean, Fleet Admiral Orekani sent me. He told me I was supposed to be with your division today, I’m not sure exactly what’s going on."


"Iron Mace" Alvida | 20 | Co-Captain | Buggy-Alvida Alliance, Buggy's Delivery Service | Tagging: Jessabel | Location: Ship


Alvida marched onto the deck, sweeping her luxurious black hair over her shoulder and scoffed, brushing off one of the crewmen who had approached her with yet another petty problem. A bid for her attention, no doubt. Again. She leaned on the ship's wooden rail, emerald eyes narrowed as she stared out over the sparkling sea. This wasn’t right. She had laughed in the man's face when he had mentioned it, but Buggy had said something about an anomaly to the starboard side of the ship. Now she had to see for herself.

"Jessabel, dear? Have you heard of anything…odd around here?" No matter how hard she looked, Alvida couldn’t see anything. Was she looking for it in the wrong place? Had she missed whatever IT was in the first place? Was Buggy just pulling some stupid joke at her expense? If that was it, she might ACTUALLY kill him. Alvida sighed, shaking her head. The seas were calm. What was there to find suspicious or abnormal out here?

The redhead almost jumped a bit when the black haired woman spoke. She'd been staring at the water, because that's where it had to be. Yes, she'd heard Buggy speaking about the anomaly too. "It has to be in the water, whatever it is." Which made sense, as neither of them had seen something clinging to the side of the ship. "There's nothing stuck to the side of the ship. It's not...did he see a sea monster?" she asked. She then thought of fish men a moment...but would they be so close to a ship? She said "He couldn't have seen a fish men, could he? I...maybe," she muttered, then shook her head.

(I know nothing about fish men...)

The silly sweet but stubborn and fiery one made a small sound. He was feeling male again today, but didn't tell Coby that. Not yet, since Coby seemed kind of panicked right now. He observed this as he approached, with Meppo as usual (An is). An quickly kissed Meppo's cheek before the blonde went. He then turned to Coby, and tilted his head. He kind of wanted to make a joke, but held himself back. He nodded to the other male, saying "Yes, fleet admiral, what do you need to tell me?"

Dellinger | 19 | Army Leader/Former Executive | Donquixote Pirates, Invasion Group | Tagging: Fishman Army | Location: Ocean -> Mainland


It had been a long time since most of them had seen the world above the surface. Having gills, they were able to live and breathe under the water's surface. The small army of struggling soldiers, and the most skillful bounty hunters amongst Fishman ranks had been gathering. Had been training, had come together under terrifying leadership; Allowing a 19 year old to command an army. He figured he was lucky. He was human enough to walk amongst them without earning hatred based on race— hatred for him was based on action— and he was Fishman enough not to be attacked on sight. In fact, had risen to power. He still wasn’t sure how. A lot of charisma, crying, manipulation, and harassment that they should rise up against humans, take the ones with the high bounties, to recreate a good life for themselves. Was it too much to ask to want one more good fight that would end leaving him and his companions set up for life, so they could relax?

The young man shook the thoughts from his head. He was the head of an army, he couldn’t afford to live with his head in the clouds anymore. Back then, he'd had more leeway. He had to fight, he had been an executive, but he wasn’t one of the TOP executives. He wasn’t one of the ones who held a seat, he’d had the chance now and then to be the kid he was. Those days were gone. I'm not a kid anymore. Finally though, it was time to make their move. The blond boy adjusted the cap on his head, holding unruly hair out of his face. He broke the water's surface. The letter they had sent would have arrived by now.

"No time to waste. We're here, get onshore and be ready for anything. They knew we were coming, we set it up like on purpose." Dellinger grinned, hiding a snicker behind his hand. It had been a long time since he had seen a fight. He’d been in the only half rebuilt Impel Down since he was sixteen. "I hope we get some good action!" Well. That translated in his mind into something a little more morbid, but he wasn’t working solo this time. He didn’t want to get stabbed in the back, so he couldn’t allow his subordinates to have reason to mistrust him. "We're headed for Marineford. We'll gather all the bounty information there, and reclaim any prisoners there. Then we search the town. I saw ships on the way here. They’ll head this way soon, I’m sure! We'll barely have to do a thing! These humans can’t possibly handle so much awesome in one place!" He chirped, voice chirpy and bright.

[sunhorsestar]

OOC: I know I still have unaddressed characters, but I’ve got nothing for them rn, if you want a tag, they’re The Mythic-Jades (Nico is in the kitchen, all the others are open), Shawn, Tashigi, Karter, Kass, Sabo, Luffy, Usopp, and Ace.

IC:


Averill | 24 | Civilian | Tagging: Yulien, mentions Invasion Group | Location: Mainland


Averill had been reading peacefully after his last morning session with a client. No sooner had he opened his book to the next chapter than did a high pitched voice outside catch him off guard, unfamiliar, but chirpy and bright. The sound of a youngster. Maybe eighteen or nineteen. Tops. The panther Mink turned to stare out the window at the scene in front of them. By the shore, a large mass of Fishmen and one boy who looked more humanoid, save for a dorsal fin, had gathered, and they were riled up about…nothing.

"Yulien?" Averill poked his head out the door of his little clinic. "Yulien, get in here. Now." He knew he shouldn’t discriminate, especially as a race that stood out in this society himself. It wasn’t discrimination against them as Fishmen. It was wordy, because most of them were armed and excited. Fishmen had bad blood with humans, and while neither he nor Yulien were humans, they lived a human lifestyle in a human society. He had promised Sulia and himself he would protect Yulien if something were ever to happen to her, and he planned to follow through.



Trafalgar Law | 29 | Doctor/Captain | Heart Pirates | Tagging: Buck | Location: The Polar Tang


Law had spent the past two days quarantining the crew without explanation in case it was contagious, and poring over his books, trying to figure this thing out. It acted like a lot of things, but no symptoms were conclusive, it just didn’t add up. He had asked the increasingly-frustrated Penguin about it, only to receive groans and complaints in response through the door. Law had no ideas on what it might be, but he dared not voice it. Maybe he was afraid. No. He was definitely afraid. It wasn’t frowned upon, exactly, but it wasn’t the most commonly seen thing in the world either, and with how close Buck felt to Law, Law didn’t want to do anything that even RISKED jeopardizing that closeness, that trust, that comfort.

"I dunno exactly what we're dealing with here, Buck." Law sighed, scribbling notes into an empty page on one of his journals. "It's got me for once. It’s acting like an ectopic beat, but on again and off again…normally I’d worry about a stroke, but there’s no other symptoms. I’m going to bring everyone out of quarantine, I’m certainly that whatever this is, it’s a cardio thing, and not a germ-induced disease. It’s not contagious."


Micah Tariah | 19 | Lookout | Calm Belt Pirates | Tagging: Open | Location: Stormchaser


Micah had managed to obtain the bracelet over the past few days. It wasn’t ideal, what with draining her strength and energy, but it meant she didn’t have to touch-starve herself anymore, and that was well worth it, she had decided. She’d take the exhaustion over physical isolation. She still had a job to do though, and for once she wished she hadn’t done it so well.

"Hey guys? It’s kinda odd, but we’ve got a bunch of Fishmen just off the coast," she noted. They’d set sail some time ago, yes, but the trail of emerging Fishmen seemed to go on forever. Following it, Micah noted how it led back towards the mainland. Into human society, where there would inevitably be war. Humans and Fishmen didn’t get along! What were they doing here?
