There have been rumors coming out of Amino Island about tourists that have won beri from a casino subsequently being waylaid and robbed by a pirate crew. Marine forces are spread really thin in the area and your CO wants you to go lend a hand! Take down the pirates once and for all!

The late evening sky was colored an alluring mixture of purple, red, and orange as the sun descended on the western horizon. The air was fairly clear and it was a comfortable temperature with a slight breeze, about as perfect conditions as could be had in the coldest of Blues during sunset. A perfect night, also, to do some good.
Serine City
A City of Entertainment!
That was the title of the flimsy pamphlet that was folded in the cocoa brown hands of Aruba Fawkes as she gazed out from the small Marine post on the southern edge of the island, just outside city limits.
Make A Fortune in One Night!
Read the back cover of the brochure and in her mind, the tall Marine woman scoffed. Yea and lose it that same night. The East Blue native was leaned against the outside wall, other hand lightly gripping the tail end of a cigarette as she patiently awaited her partner for this two man operation, or rather two women.
Senshi Odayakama was a name that only rang a bell in Aruba's mind because she had read it once in a status report of recent successful missions in the area, and from what she gathered, the young, freshly minted Petty Officer was an "up and comer". The experienced soldier would be remiss if she said she wasn't excited to be working with the younger woman for this op, if only to gauge the woman's abilities firsthand.
A woman that stresses preparation and information, Fawkes got an early jump on reconnaissance of the so called "Entertainment City" during the daytime. Strolling through the bustling city streets in plain clothes, the golden maned dame was able to take the pulse of the populace and get a feel for what was really going on in the crowded tourist town. Now, mere hours later, she wore a matching vest and pant suit, colored slate grey, and cerulean blue collared shirt, with black platform shoes; completely ready for a night out on the town.
Undercover, amongst the people, was the course of action that the stealthy officer would employ for this mission, as it would be easier to mingle amongst those they were there to protect. But, alas she wasn't the senior officer here and this wasn't her op.
