What kind of trick is that... Taking particular note of the crackle of electricity between the fingers of the woman in yellow as she stepped casually towards him, Sunshaku Kasasagi could not help but feel some degree of worry at what kind of power this femme fatale possessed. Was this the power of a Devil Fruit? Did they really grant their consumer such immense power as the stories told? If so, the swindler had ended up in an even worse position than he had initially thought. The beauty was bearing down upon him now, digits spread out as if ready to grab him with those electrically charged hands of hers.
"Three... Two..." Beginning to count down, the electric blue hues of the mysterious woman stared deeply into his own amethyst hues. While he had to admit that there was something appealing about the way she looked at him so sternly, he could not allow himself to deny the seriousness of the situation. He had no idea what kind of shock she could give him if her hands connected with his body. It could be anything from a subtle shock to complete electrocution, and he was already quite certain that a Devil Fruit that allowed control of electricity would also provide a resistance to it.
Hm. I doubt she'd kill me. Not without answers, at least. Darn, kid... Somewhat annoyed at the fact that the hooded youth had managed to escape with his ticket to some good income, Mister Sunshaku kept his eyes transfixed upon the woman as she counted down rather slowly, her hands gradually getting closer and closer to his shoulders. He really did not want to sustain a potentially fatal voltage, but there was no real way he could answer her query. After the boy had cleared the wall, the con artist had completely lost track of where he went and, more importantly, what had happened to his fake fruit.
"One... Time's up!" Leaning forwards, the electrical woman wrapped her hands around the thief's shoulders, sending electricity coursing through his restrained form. It was painful, more so because it was crippling his muscle control, though it was by no means entirely unbearable. That said, further shocks would likely have more of an impact, especially if the beauty before him turned up the power. Releasing her grip and stepping back, his body stopped shuddering, his legs and arms now feeling cramped and his hands and feet afflicted with the annoying sensation of pins and needles. Such an attack as that could easily have brought a grown man to the floor, and his muscles were still twitching as he recovered from the shock.
"Are you going to answer me now? Or will I have to amp it up a bit more?" Clapping her hands together once more, the beautiful blonde starting to repeat her previous actions, rubbing her hands together as before, but this time spending much longer doing so. Likely attempting to build a much greater electrical charge than she had done previously, this woman clearly meant business, and as much as he would rather get out alive, Kasasagi was completely uncertain of how to answer her. It seemed she was not above doing this sort of interrogation to gather the necessary information, and that in itself only served to add to his worries.
"Three... Two... One..." Once more leaning towards him, eyes having yet to falter from their piercing gaze, the familiar and frightening crackle of electricity between her fingers caused a cold swear to overcome the conman. The brightness of the electricity appeared far more vivid that before, though perhaps that was because he was more afraid of what she had in store for him? Aside from the jagged cowlicks upon her head, the number of which seemed to have increased by two, there were no obvious side effects that she experienced from generating such power.
"Alright! Alright..." Surrendering to her 'charms', the suited sir was well aware of his current situation. There was no chance of him escaping, his possessions all stacked up upon the table save for the clothes on his back, and even if he had managed to free himself of his bonds it was likely he would just have ended up being stunned and bound to the chair again. There was no chance of trickery getting him out of this mess, so he decided to go with the next best course of action; forfeiting. He just hoped deeply that these pirates believed what he was about to say.
"I don't know where the kid went, or what he did with that fruit." Staring into the woman's eyes still, his own gaze barely ever faltering, Kasasagi spoke the honest truth. Sure, he was missing a few key details, such as the identity of the fruit in question, but he was not exactly lying about it either. Had he called it a Devil Fruit? No, he had not. He remained in silence, heart fluttering in anticipation, as he waited for a response from the woman whose crackling hands were now just under a foot away from his shoulders...
