Mission #13: A horrible poster

[vladimir]

It was a quiet day in Rougetown, people where out and about and marines were scanning for pirate menace. Todd Keikichi was asleep of a marble roof, letting the sun beam it's rays onto his skin, until he heard a crash near the alley. Todd slowly opened his, sprinted up, and started to yawn as he looked over to the crash direction. He carefully took 2 steps backward and jumped over to the next roof. "noise at this early. Thats new" said Todd as he jumped from roof top to roof top, listening to the ruckus over at the alley way. Todd stopped as he was right there at the scene. He quietly looked down a payed attention. "C'mon baby, just one more kiss. Please" A rather large man said, trying to persuade a beautiful girl to kiss his ferocious lips. Todd studied the man who was trying to kiss the girl. He then turned his attention to the damsel in distress. She appeared to be in a stressful situation. Todd sighed "I guess it cant be helped. Hey big man." he said yelling at the attacker "leave that girl alone". Before he could strike, a wanted poster of him flew into his face. He looked at it, and yelled "They got my face wrong".

[BEX]

Jack had known that the World Government would eventually plaster his face upon a dingy wanted poster with a considerable bounty after all the escapades that he had in his short tenure as a pirate. Being that it wasn’t his goal to earn bounties he didn’t pay much attention to the circulation of the actual paper, but one day when he was playfully bragging to a babe outside of a tea shop about his fairly decent bounty when the woman’s face twisted briefly before she laughed. Not a man to be laughed at Jack, for lack of a better word quite abrasively interrogated the woman why she thought that his bounty was funny and she explained to him that he looked much different in the picture. Even more handsome she suggested. Hearing this the young man quickly set off to find the nearest wanted poster stand and snatched the one with his name on it only to find some stiff jawed asshole in place of where his face should have been. Quickly he set out to find a place to get this mistake corrected and he found himself around the corner of some guy, who apparently had the same problem,

“Hey bub,” he asked as he peeked around the fence to see where the origin of the voice had come from. He was met with a peculiar character which immediately brought a smile to his face,

“…they got my face wrong too, wanna do somethin’ about it?” he offered confidently with his right hand resting in the strap that came across his shoulder and wrapped around his body holding the sheathed weapon to his back.

Todd turned around and noticed a man talking to him. He stared at him for a quick sec and then jumped down and grabbed the big dude's shirt with his right and grabbed his nun chucks with his left. Todd then slammed his nun chucks against the attackers face, crushing his cheek bones. Todd then puts his nun chucks away and tosses the man against the smelly dumpster behind him. Using his Kouba Kouba no Mi powers, he grows a thick green vine from his smooth hands and wraps it around the large man. "There, that should hold him" says Todd as he looks at the female. The girl stared at him quietly, and then chuckled. She nodded at him with tears coming from her eyes, and down her beautiful tanned cheeks. "For Milady" Says Todd as he makes a bouquet of flowers with his Kouba Kouba no Mi powers. The beautiful women smiled as she took the flowers, and walked off. Once she was gone, Todd got serious.


"I'll join you, but if you pull a fast one on me, I'll trap you within my plants." Todd said turning around. His Kouba Kouba no Mi powers were growing everywhere.

[BEX]

“Che…man those shitty ass roots ya got growin’ there won’t do nothin’ on a guy like me” he commented with folded arms and a look of brazen disapproval. Apparently this person was a devil fruit user as well which Jack didn’t have a problem with it was just annoying that every time he met someone with the power of an Akuma no mi they automatically assumed that they were invincible. Sighing Jack asked,

“So where is this place that we go to get our posters changed? I think I have a picture of myself stuffed in here somewhere” he mumbled as he reached his left hand into his shirt searching for some kind of photo for himself. Several minutes of rummaging through the contents of his shirt and he finally found what he had been looking for,

“…alright well whenever yer ready we should probably get going. There are bound to be Marine wannabes trying to stop us, but that shouldn’t be too much of an issue” he finished the statement with a bloodthirsty smile. He hoped that in doing this he would get laid more often, but as it stood he didn’t have much choice since he had talked to the guy about it in the first place. He didn’t want to seem like a wuss,

“Well? Let’s go” he commented with a curious expression on his face.

[vladimir]

"Alright. Lets go" Todd said as he ran off with the other guy. Since Todd knew where the posters are made, he would be the one leading. Todd quietly said "lotus style" to himself as he jumped onto a wall and started to scale it. Once he reached the top of the very big building, he climb onto the roof and watched as jack skillfully climb up. Todd nodded in respect and pointed towards a grayish building near the market area. "There it is" Todd said to jack "Alright lets do this". Todd jumped off the roof and landed on the cold stone path. He waited until jack got down, and then continued. Todd carefully walked over to the marine poster station. When he was close, he hid behind an old, broken down building. Todd scanned the area. He noticed a lot of wanna be marines on the roof, and some guarding the front. Tod sighed as he turned around to looked at Jack. "now" he said "since i can't just go underneath, we need a diversion to get in. I think your the best at that job" Tod said smiling. Once they reviewed the plan again, Todd watched as Jack was getting ready to do his part.

[BEX]

After traversing their way to the Marine office that apparently made wanted posters Jack stood next to the man whose name he hadn’t even bothered to ask yet; it seemed like it was such a minute detail that there wasn’t really any purpose in it. He wouldn’t ever see this person again afterwards and if he did it would probably be to cut him down or turn him in if he had a bounty on his head,

“So the plan is that I barge in there and cut a few Marine b*sturds up to create a diversion for you to do…?” he trailed off as he stared suspiciously at the man. He wanted to avoid telling him what amount of beri was hovering over his head if he could avoid it since Jack was sure it was a considerable amount. After all since he had received his recent bounty, he hadn’t met anyone with more money on their heads than himself. Scratching the tiny hairs on his chin, Jack pondered all these things as he stared back at the man before shrugging his shoulders dismissively,

“I’ll kick down the front door and you go ahead with yer crafty sneak in…that ain’t my style” he called over his shoulder as he walked towards the entrance.

Once everything was done, Todd carefully walked over to jack and scanned the area with ease. Once it was done, he went inside and continued searching the place. Todd stopped when he heard noices coming from from the other side of the wall. Todd placed his ear onto the wall and listened for any noise. When there wasn't any noise, Todd simply moved on through the dark hallway. Todd took a few steps forward until he heard a noise. "Hey, who the hell are you" the unnamed marine said as he charged after Todd. Todd simply knocked him out by using his pressure point techniques he learned in the academy. After the easy fight, Todd hid the unconscious marine body and continued his search. Once he scanned every inched of the area, he found the room were the magic happens. The door was average looking wooden door, that had printing room on it. Todd smiled in delight as he found the room and tried to whistle for jack. Before he could whistle, a group of soldiers charged after Todd with guns. Todd looked at the crowed of angry looking men and began to sigh. "Capture him. Don't let him escape" said the captain of the station. The captain was an average looking Joe. He had the standard uniform, But he was missing his hat. He jumped right of Todd and took out an Axe. Todd gasp in horror as he was about to be out of it.

[BEX]

While he stood at the entrance two Marines blinked oddly at him as they tried to instruct him to move on as if he were an average civilian. Despite Jack’s blatant disobedience, the Marines insisted that they were going to kindly ask him to leave,

“WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU IDIOTS?!” he yelled at the Marines as he reached over his back to grab the hilt of his katana that still hadn’t been unsheathed throughout the entire dialogue, These pains in the ass are goin’ down fer sure… he reveled as the men rose their guns in his direction at his sudden hostile behavior. Before they could aim and fire Jack had already closed the distance between them in two long strides and then threw a sweeping head kick that launched the man through a nearby storage facility wall. The outbreak caused the people watching the scene to run away frightened as more Marines came out from the buildings much to Jack’s pleasure.

“Well, bring it on as*holes!” he cackled joyously when he heard one of the men say,

“….Contain this man while the Captain deals with the other one!”
Jack paused for a brief moment before realizing who the “other” one would be, Shit… he thought as the realization struck him in full force.

[vladimir]

Todd's head was sliced by the captain's axe. "Serves you right pirate" said the captain as he got off Tod's headless body. As the captain was about to move away, he heard something behind him. "Ah Sh**. You got me." Todd said smiling. Todd looked at the captain and smiled at him. "You cant kill me, I've eaten the plant plant fruit" he said using his plant powers, to grow roots from his neck to his head. Todd's head slowly came back to his open neck and soon after, connected. "I will kill you, you dam* pirate" said the angry marine captain, waving his Axe in the air. Todd then grabbed the captain's neck and sighed as he calmly said "rejuvenation". Todd's plant plant powers were sucking the moisture from the captains body. Todd looked at the captain(who appeared to lost about 50% of water fluids from his body) and tossed him into the printing room. Todd quietly walked into the small, dull printing room and lifted up his palms. Todd waited for one second and then shouted into the room "poison spikes". poisonous spikes flew into the room, knocking out all of the artist.

[BEX]

Hearing that the other guy might have run into some that might cause him some difficulty made Jack groan inwardly; he really wanted that picture to change and he would hate to have his chance ruined because that strange plant dude couldn’t hack it against a few Marines. Towards the rear of the group that now stood in front of the building that Todd was in a few Marines were carrying flame throwers with stern looks upon their faces; it seemed that they were trying to deal with the Devil Fruit user.

“Get outta my way!” Jack yelled as he smashed the back of his fist hard into a charging Marine’s face sending the man flying head first into a crowd of his own comrades,

“T-This guy….” gulped one of the Marines as they stepped away from him. Not waiting for the Marine to finish his sentence he leaped onto one of the heads of the many white caps that surrounded him and quickly leaped to another white cap in the crowd. As he did so hands reached up to try and capture him, but the young pirate’s unpredictable movements made it impossible for the Marines to keep up with him.

[vladimir]

Todd smiled as he was being attacked by guys with flamethrowers. He carefully crouched down and said to himself "lotus style". Todd's chi was flowing within his body like a mighty river. Todd shouted "camouflage" and vanished from the torch crew. Todd, while blending in, took out at least three of three of the scorchers. Todd clapped his hands together and pulled out a thorn whip from his palms. "Thorn Whip" says Todd as he slashes the other men. Todd then shouted "Hey Jack, Hurry your a**". Todd kept on fighting with these troublesome marines. Todd takes out his nun chucks and violently attacks the marine soldiers with it. Most of the marines got their nose broken or busted with the attack. Todd noticed the last marine had turned on their flamethrower and had aimed it at Todd. Todd jumped in the niche of time, but got scorched a little on his left arm. He scale the sealing with his martial arts and appeared near the human torch. Todd then grabbed his neck with his left hand and said "rejuvenation". Todd adsorbed most of the water from the man's body. He then rushed over to the printing from, ignoring all the dead bodies and started to change his poster.

[BEX]

Jack leaped from Marine head to Marine head when he saw the display of skill that Todd had shown as he defeated several of the flame throwing Marines only receiving a minor burn. Since he got distracted one of the Marines was able to take advantage of his brief moment of inactivity and clutch his tattooed ankle hurling him onto his back; at the feet of several Marines with rifles all aimed at him. Confident sneers went all around as the men all thought that they had captured the infamous rookie, Jack Dancer. A defiant grin perched itself on the young man’s rugged features as his gi lay loosely around him,

“Screw you a*sholes…there ain’t no way in hell that I get caught like this…” he muttered before arching his back so that everything from his torso down was lifted into the air while his back remained as a fulcrum upon the ground. Rotation wildly on his back like a break-dancer Jack’s long leg’s smacked into several Marines clearing the area around him as his attack made the remaining Marines wary of coming towards him. The steel plating on his geta also made matters worse as some of the men fell away unconscious having been directly struck with them. Without missing a beat Jack jackknifed off his back and proceeded to draw his tsurugi to slice away at one Marine’s arm as it flew towards him with a closed fist. As the Marine realized what had happened Jack struck the man in the forehead with his elbow effectively incapacitating him; not only had the man lost his arm, but he had also been knocked unconscious. Jack was feeling the old rush of combat filling him again.

[vladimir]

Todd noticed how fast his poster was taking, and decided to use some of free time to help out his friend Todd ran as fast as he could to jack, noticing the group of marines charging right at him. Todd placed his hand against the wall and created a bamboo prison, to block the marines. Todd looked ahead and noticed the three marines in battle position. Todd looked down and picked up an empty gun on the floor. He then pegged it at one of the guards, knocking him out. He then took out his nun chucks, knocking the guards out cold with his skill. "Kill them both" said the marines chasing after us. Todd smiled as he placed his hand on the ground and shouted into the heavens "Forest". Todd's plant plant powers created a forest within the building, trapping the marines he was fighting, and trapping the other Jack was fighting. Todd looked at Jack and watched as their enemies were trapped above them. Todd nudged Jack and said "We need to get things over with man". Todd carefully walked over to the printing room. He was currently trying to avoid the trees. He wasn't trying to get hit.

[BEX]

Blinking Jack realized that all the Marines had been incapacitated by the weird guy’s plant powers, but Jack didn’t appreciate that at all,

“The hell man!” he shouted as he rose to his feet in response to Todd telling him that the two had to get a move on with getting the posters done. More than anything once Jack had his opponent picked out he hated when someone else interfered with his fight whether it was friend or foe. This guy who he randomly met was definitely not someone he considered his friend and a smile came across his face as he eyed the Todd man coolly,

“Hey…” he started to say slowly,

“…you’re pretty good, so how ‘bout it?” Jack insisted as he brandished his blade in his right hand, but before anything further could be said about the fight Jack was trying to instigate a massive object crashed through the ceiling of the already damaged building and landed in between the two men. Shielding his eyes from the debris Jack made out a tall hulking figure arise in the smoke,

“The f*ck….” he cursed.

(This is an NPC Marine Commodore. He is a Half Giant, so even with your DF powers it should take us a little bit of effort to defeat him. Be creative, but don’t give yourself too much power.)

[vladimir]

Todd looked up high, as his opponent was a half giant. "Wow" Todd said "your mother must've fed you a house". The Giant roared in anger and smashed his giant fist at Todd. The giant laughed in triumph "Says you weakling". The half giant lifted up his arm and noticed that Todd wasn't in the creator. The half giant looked around and noticed a man on top of his shoulder. "Hi" Todd said smiling as he took out his nun chucks and slammed them into The half giants eyes. Todd jumped off the giant's shoulder and watched as the giant was screaming in pain. Todd then ran to the half giants legs and pressure pointed his big legs. The giant's legs where numbed and useless to use for 3 minutes. Todd smiled in delight as the half giant couldn't move his body. Todd laughed as he shot out long green vines, and tied up the half giant to the giant trees. He then grew a thorn whip and whipped the giant's chest senseless. Todd stopped his laughing and ended his torment. Todd looked at Jack and said "he's all yours man". Todd created a wood ramp.
