Crushed Ice Bar: Bandit at your service

[moki]

Moki smiled putting her hands around Rex's waist and smiling, "His name is Rex... and yes I know he was part of Darius' crew, but I had heard you were dead Rex... that Darius had killed you for trying to stop him from killing that Merchant family..."

Rex laughed lightly a very hearty and loving laugh, "Well thats what many people thought... I actually got away... barely alive might i add, but alive all the same... I've been hiding out here for about a week now... surprisingly no one seemed to know who I was even though I am like the tallest person in this city... Anyways..." He looks down at Moki and then looks over at Bandit, "My names Rex Ifilias... I've known Moki here since she was fourteen so around 4 years... i got to hang around with her whilest Darius tried to pursuade his brother to go with us... She was such a sweet girl back then and it seems she hasn't changed much, but i guess your rep has... Anyways... I considered her like my little sister... i'm four years older then she is making me 22 and i had heard she was here around town somewhere so I came here looking for her and well it looks like I got here in time to be able to help you find that slime ball Darius... i know some of his tricks just as well as Moki here does and i'm telling you i can help you..." He smiled down at Moki petting her head, "Trust me..."

[houdini]

Bandit watched the two of them for a moment as if unsure what to think. Moki was close to this person and they seemed to have a history, but he still felt unsure. This man was a pirate, and so far it seemed like only bad people came out of Darius's crew.

"Allright" Bandit spoke with a nod as he looked at the man, "If you know Moki and you can help I guess I got no reason to wanna hurt you" Bandit spoke before bowing his head politely at Rex, "Please, if you can tell me what tricks he's likely to pull I'd like to know that now, I have to be prepared asap"

"You think that'll help?" A mocking voice asked causing Bandit's head to whip round as he searched the darkness of the street to find the source, "Poor Rex, still living in the past but lucky enough to have avoided the harsh confinement of a marine prison. You should thank Captain for trying to end your life" The voice continued to mock as Bandit looked frantically over the buildings in the street.

It was safe to say this voice wasn't the voice of Darius Myna or Captain Puffin John Berg. This voice wasn't sly and cold like the sinister captain. It was rude and loud like a thug.

[moki]

Moki smiled looking at Bandit, "Ok we can tell you a few things about Darius, but first we should get somewhere where we can't be over heard..."

Rex nodded, "It isn't safe around here... I've heard rumors of spies for Darius being around these parts seeing as he's more forcing them then them willingly doing it and..." he then hears the voice as well and he steps in front of the two of them, "who's there... show yourself..." He pulls at a pistol at his belt side.

Moki blinks rapidly at the voice, "that voice sounds familiar Rexy..." she looks up at him and he looks down at her nodding.

"Ya it does, but i can't place it..." He then looks over at Bandit, "Do you know who this person is... wherever they're at..." He continues to look around the gun raised ready to shoot. Someone was watching them and saying they couldn't accomplish what they wanted to, but how would this person know and who were they? It sounded so familiar the voice did, but still Rex couldn't place where he had heard it before.

Sighing slowly Moki looked around Rex and looked into each shadow, but she still couldn't figure out where the noise was coming from.

[houdini]

"There!" Bandit yelled out before pointing at one of the houses on the opposite side of the road. On top of the house stood a huge black shadow hidden in a cloud of smoke that seemed to ooze off the top of the roof.

"AH!PA!PA!" The shadow yelled out as he leapt out of the cloud of smoke and landed on the ground in front of them sending cracks running through the stone underneath him.

"My Captains first wish was for me to get food for the crew" The man spoke in his rough voice as the smoke cleared and the light of the towns torches lit him up. He was an ogre like man just as big as Rex with a fat belly but lots of muscle. He had cruel dark eyes and a pearly white grin. His skin had been dyed red making the tattoos on his body even clearer. He had a cobra tattoo that trailed from one shoulder to the other and on his chest was a jolly roger in the shape of a skull with flames around it and a black and white striped hat.

"My captains second wish, to deliver his message to his targets" He was bald apart from the long ponytail of black hair that trailed from the top of his head and he wore only a pair of dark yellow parachute pants. Strapped to his back was a giant bronze lamp in which smoke poured from out of it's funnel.

"My captains third is to kill anyone I see as a danger" The man chuckled as he placed down beside him a large brown sack of food next to him before flexing the large biceps of his arms.

"These are the three wishes of Captain Puffin John Berg" He spoke with his cruel grin before shaking his head and letting his gold loop ear rings shake, "For I am his Genie! Dijin!"

Darius Myna's Right Hand Man of the Jail Break Pirates: Dijin

[moki]

Moki's eyes turned red as she growled angrily, "Dijin... I've heard of you... a right ol' bastard always obeying whatever you dirty master tells you to do right?" She sneered up at him from behind Rex, "You know your just a little puppet under his fingers right... He's just pulling your strings and you dance around while he controls your every move..." She then laughed.

Rex is voice angry hisses at Moki, "Don't make him angry Moki... He could rip you apart... he may be under Darius' control, but that doesn't mean he isn't very powerful... He is more powerful then he appears Moki... I should know seeing as I was part of that crew..." He then looked at Dijin, "So Dijin... long time no see isn't it? How are you master's pet..." He sneered as well knowing he had more of a chance against this man than his friends.

Slowly he then looks over at Bandit, "Leave this one to me please...this guy is not as easy to beat as he appears... he is thin and tall which could make him seem an easier target, but he is much more nimble and tough then he appears..." He pushes Moki towards Bandit as she protests, "Take her and get out of here I'll take care of him and catch up with you... Go to the docks and find us a ship..." With that he turned back to Dijin and smirked.

[houdini]

"AH!PA!PA!PA!" Dijin's odd laughter echoed through the night as he through back his head and clutched his fat belly with his thick muscular arms.

"You think you can beat me Rex?" Dijin asked cruely as he grinned at him with a mocking pearly white grin "Captain's wishes on the ship back then were for you and met to fight for the position of second mate on the ship. And you ended up being pulverised by me"

"Now you think you can beat me now?" Dijin asked in disbelief while he looked at him with wide excited eyes "You may have got stronger since then but now I'm in a completely different league to you"
He laughed for a little longer while clutching at his sides as if the laugh so powerful it was hurting. Eventually he began to stop laughing and straightened his body, he wiped a tear that had formed under his eye from laughing too much.

"Now...to obey Captains second wish and deliver his message" He spoke before rummaging through the pockets of his trousers and pulling out a sheet of paper. He held it up in front of him in his huge red hand before he began to read, "Tommorow Captain Puffin John Berg will descend upon this section of town with his marine forces, if Cold Eyes Moki Anagamai does not give herself up we will arrest the young bar tender and the old man under allegations of harbouring a pirate"

"Why are you talking like that your not marine's your pirates" Bandit snarled as he stared at the giant red man. Dijin merely smirked at him and continued with his message.

"Captain Puffin John Berg would like to add that Darius Myna 'Captain of the newly formed Jail Break Pirates is going to kill Cold Eyes, Fire Bandit and the young man from the bar in order to silence any rumours that Captain Puffin John Berg and Darius Myna are the same person"

"What..." Bandit growled as he stared down the fat ogre who now pocketed the message before grinning widely at them again.

"And don't think of telling the guards" Dijin spoke while chuckling with glee as he rubbed his hands together eagerly, "We've already made contact with them and convinced them that were the real marines and don't think for a moment they'll trust your word over ours"

[moki]

Rex growled and was about to snap back at Dijin when he felt a soft hand on his arm and he looked down, "Moki I..."

Moki shook her head and then looked over at Dijin, "If you'll leave my friends alone I'll come quietly...Kill me and leave them alone..." She had a hard look on her face one of defiance and hatred, but then she looked over at Bandit and with tears in her eyes she smiled, "I love you Bandit...Don't ever forget this..." She then looked carefully back at Rex, "Keep him back... don't let him come after me...I need to do this..." Rex went to open his mouth and protest and she glared at him, "No...Don't even think about it Rex...this is my fate..." She then moves towards Dijin and holds her arms out allowing him to tie her and start to walk her away her head lowered tears pouring down her face as she defiantly hid any sadness or anger she had and kept her pride held out in all of it, "You better let them be Dijin... or I promise on my death that I will come back and haunt you..."

[houdini]

"Wait Moki!" Bandit yelled after her as she walked towards the giant red man who stared at her with sick delight in his eyes. This was becoming worse by the second, now he was going to loose two of his freinds in one night.

"Idiot" Dijin spoke as she walked forward towards him. His fist shot out at her and punched his square in the stomach causing her to roll across the ground and land at Bandit's and Rex's feet.

"Moki!" Bandit exclaimed before sinking to the ground next to her.

"Weren't you paying attention? We can't leave here unless all of you die!" Dijin cackled as he pulled his arm back and stared at them, "You, Rex, that kid and the old man all know that were the Jail Break Pirates, if we leave you alive then everyone will know our identity!"

"So that's the reason why you tried to kill Blue" Bandit spoke his hair falling over his eyes as he listened to Dijin's laughter ring through out the road.

"Your only figuring that out now?" Dijin cackled as he collapsed to his knees and began pounding the floor with his hands, "Of course thats the reason! As long as your alive we stand the danger of getting discovered and then we won't be able to pretend were marines anymore"

Dijin cackled some more before straightening up and pointing a fat finger at Bandit, his face was still alight with sick joy as he laughed harder and harder, "The stupid old man wanted to protect you two by sending you out of the bar to avoid getting attacked by us. He was brave but so weak, why when Captain ordered me to smash him to piec-"

"So it was you who attacked him" Bandit spoke quietly his hair still hanging across his face casting shadow over his eyes.

"Yeah what of-" Dijin began before an elbow smashed into the centre of his face.

"RED EYE!" Bandit roared as his elbow struck the giant man and sent him staggering backwards clutching his face.

[moki]

Moki gagged slowly as she was kicked backwards. She rolled continuously until she hit Bandit's feet and she looked up at him, "It's ok Bandit..." She then pulled herself up swooning back and forth from the pain, "I'll take care of him..." Right then Bandit attacked Dijin sending him backwards. As she looked around towards them she smiled carefully and sighed as she pulled out her swords and took a running at Dijin while he was blind, "Wind Slash!" She then pulled her swords backwards and then flung them forwards as she smiled carefully before she fell to the ground in a faint after her last powerful attack.


As she slept in her coma Moki could hear her 'father' as he trained her, "Push yourself Moki... You need to stay focused and keep yourself moving..." She then slashed at the dummies and smiled carefully as her 'father' gave a deep chuckle.


It then moved to a future scene. She could see herself in Bandits arms kissing. She smiled even in her coma and as tears poured down her face she waited for death to come knowing now she had reached her peacefulness, "Thank you Bandit... thank you for everything..."

[houdini]

WIND SLASH!

The attack engulfed Bandit and Dijin in a powerful blast of wind and sent the two of them flying back into a house behind them. A cloud of dust erupted from it as they smashed through the walls.

"That was annoying" Dijin spoke as he emerged from the broken stone and wood of the house they had crashed into. He brushed off the dust from his red shoulders and patted himself down to see if he was hurt. He had a few bruises and cuts over his back but was otherwise still in one piece. He walked out into the road again and beamed as his eyes landed on the fallen Moki, "She's very annoying isn't she, this was your fight and she interrupted"
"She even caught you in the blast, didn't she boy?" Dijin spoke before turning his head to look up at the roof of the house they had just been blown into.

"It was worth it" Bandit spoke as he emerged from a hole in the roof of the house. His forehead had blood running down it and his shirt was covered with cuts from where the broken tiles of the house had cut him.

"It hurt you didn't it?" Bandit spoke coldly as his eyes narrowed and he clutched the sides of the hole before pulling his body back preparing to pounce.

"And now I'm going to hurt you even more" Bandit snarled before jumping from the hole in the roof and launching a kick at Dijin's face.
Dijin ducked down and dodged the blow while laughing with his cruel chuckle, but it didn't last for long.
For the kick had been a feint and Bandit was now standing on Dijin's shoulders upside down staring at him as he prepared his attack.

"Screw..."[/i] Bandit began as his raised legs twirled in the air like a propeller. He grabbed Dijin by the throat and used the momentum of his legs to lift Dijin off the ground in a throw.
"DRI-argh!"[/i] Bandit's throw however remained unsuccessful as he let out a yell of pain and let go of Dijin's throat. He landed on the floor behind him before flying across the ground as Dijin turned and kicked him hard in the stomach.

"Throws don't work on me!" Dijin cackled as he watched Bandit tumble across the ground and land a meter or two away from Moki, "No physical attack can work on me!"

Bandit slowly sat up while coughing up blood and forcing the air that had been knocked out of him back into to his lungs. He lifted his hands in front of him as he felt burning pain run through them. His eyes widened at what he saw.

"Rafu Rafu No Mi" Dijin called out as Bandit looked over his hands, the skin of the palms and fingers had been shredded and almost pulled clean off. Blood dripped from the palms of his hands and hit the dirt floor beneath him, but it was of no concern to him. He still got to his feet and glared murderously at the laughing fat man who now had Bandit's blood running down his neck.

"I ate the Devil Fruit known as the Rough Rough Fruit making me become a friction man" Dijin spoke with delight as he rubbed his hands together. There was chunks of broken wood and stone all around him from the house they had smashed into. With glee he picked up a large chunk of wood and placed it between his hands.

"I can make my skin so rough that the friction between them and any surface I touch becomes intensified making my skin like sand paper" He explained before he rapidly began his hands against the broken wooden board.

"Which means that when I touch a human being" He spoke with delight as his hands rubbed faster. Within seconds the wooden block was reduced to nothing more than grains of saw dust, "I can rip the very skin from their body"

[moki]

Moki's eyes slowly began to open as she gasped in pain from things going on and then stood carefully as for some odd reason the pain began to subside. Looking at the mess she had made and what was being made through Bandit and Dijin fighting she laughed lightly. Her insanity was increasing from everything that she was feeling and she looked up her eyes turning a blood red, "Oh this will be fun!!" She then let out a blood curdling laugh making people that were left run for their lives yelling that the Cold Stone Eyes had totally lost her mind which at this point she kind of had.

Pulling her sword next to her body she giggled for a moment, "Oh sandpaper ay bucko?! Well than I may not be able to touch you well enough to harm you without some reprocussion, but hun!" She races at him and slams her swords into his sides, "I can poison you!" the swords chip, but they go in just enough to allow the poison to flow into his body as she jumps back cursing. She had known her swords would be ruined, but she knew she had to do it or the man would never be stopped. He would have to leave soon or he would collapse in exhaustion and pass out into a coma and later die if he didn't get to a doctor.

As she finished her attack she went over to Bandit who's hands were bleeding profusely and she grabbed some of her shirt and ripped it off tieing it around his hands indivisually and smiling as she did this, "here you should feel better soon..."

[houdini]

"Little runt!" Dijin growled as he clutched the wound on the side of his body. The power of the Rough Rough fruit had reduced most of the blade to metal dust but enough of it had managed to penetrate his skin.
He clutched one of his wounds with one hand and growled in a frustrated manner before picking up the bag of food that lay by him and lifting it over his shoulder, "Looks like I've had a mosquito bite me, how frustrating"

Dijin looked around with an unsatisfied look on his face. He was clearly deciding on whether to risk trying to kill them or not, "I could kill you all, because of your little tantrum all the witnesses have gone, I could easily finish you now..."
He was silent for a moment as he considered it before eventually shrugging and turning, "...but Captain's first wish was to find food for the crew, so I must grant his wish and return with this food"

"Oi tomato man" Bandit called out clenching his bloody fists as he stared at him while his teeth ground together in anger, "If you come looking for us tomorrow with that Captain of yours, then I'm going to be the one who breaks your face in" Bandit spoke while clutching his blood soaked bandages.

"Your a fly kid" Dijin spoke with glee turning his head towards him as he slowly began walking away.
He held Bandits stare for a moment before eventually breaking it as he felt his body sway as the poison began to run it's course. He lifted his hand away from his wound and let out a grunt of annoyance as he looked at the dark red blood that coated his light red hand, "If I had more time I would have ripped every last bit of meat from your skeleton but I'll only do that if Captain orders me to"

Dijin turned back to the road ahead of him and continued walking back while carrying the huge bag of food, "We'll arrive early, you have six hours to prepare" He called back to them before chuckling madly for a moment.

"Oh and Rex" Dijin called and stopped again before looking back at the three of them. His eyes were wide with madness and murderous intent and the grin on his face shone in the bright moonlight. He licked his lips as he savored the next few words that would leave his mouth, "The Captain is not the same person you remember he has become a true monster"

[moki]

Moki sighed heavily as she thought about things that were being said and it was really starting to tick her off. Slowly she growled as Dijin told them that they would be back within six or so hours, "I'll be ready for you Dijin you and my uncle..." she then smirked happily a she thought about what she would do. As Dijin turned to go she smirked at how he seemed to weaken from the poison that was running slowly through his body, "though I doubt you'll be coming back anytime soon yourself Dijin... My poison is moving slowly through that this body of your's it will begin working even faster as it spreads to more major organs..."

Rex smiled and put his hand on Moki's shoulder, "Good job Moki...and Dijin..." He looks at the man, "Tell the captain I'm ready for my rematch..." He then gave a murderous grin of his own and laughed lightly as he continued to think about things in his mind of how he would destroy his old captain, "He's not the only one who's gotten more deadly I can assure you..."

Moki smiled as she looked up at Rex, "Keep yourself calm too alright... You really don't want to get over confident alright?" Rex smiled heavily and nodded as he laughed lightly, " So ya..."

[houdini]

Dijin spoke no more as he left. Although he said nothing and left with a slight sway in his step, anyone could tell that that man would return more healthy, more vicious and more rude than before.

And that was what concerned Bandit. This man wasn't like the drunks he had to throw out of his bar or the thugs that occasionally tried to steal from him and Blue; this man was a monster.

"Rafu Rafu No Mi" Bandit spoke to himself as he thought over the words. He had been too angry before to fully acknowledge the existence of such an impossible thing, now it was finally sinking in. He had now met a man that possessed the powers of a devil fruit.

Calico had once told him about such things while he had been preparing Bandit for the life of a secret agent. He had wanted Bandit to be prepared for anything.

Unfortunately they had never met a devil fruit user while Bandit had been under Calico's care. So now the only thing that could prepare him for what was to come, was the answer to a question Bandit had asked Calico once.

"Have you ever fought a devil fruit user Calico?"

"Once...and all I can say is this. If your planning on fighting one, bet your life on it"

"Hey Moki" Bandit spoke as he got to his feet slowly and began walking towards the ruins of what remained of the bar, "I'm going to kick the crap out of those guys tomorrow, you know that right?"

[moki]

Moki smiled as Dijin swayed back and forth as he left. She wanted to shout out more, but kept it to herself. As she slowly sighed and looked over at Bandit she shook her head before speaking, "You know devil fruit user's will not be that easy to beat I know for a fact because my friend has a snake devil's fruit... You should meet her some time... I know you would like her. I will tell you though she can be a royal prick sometimes," She then smiled more as she looked up at Bandit and walked over to him so their bodies were close, "I know you really want to hurt them, but please be careful alright... I don't want to lose you in all of this..." She then closed her eyes as small tears flowed down her face a few times. She kept the smile on her face as she turned her head and looked back at Rex.

Rex laughed lightly at his friend's tears and looked over at Bandit a smile on his face as Moki buried her head into his chest and he held her close keeping her from hearing what he said next, "You know she is falling in love with you right? Did you see how she risked her life for you over and over again?" He then gave a huge grin and looked down at the girl in his arm's, "She's a very sweet girl and she's been through a lot... I consider her my own blood and my little sister so... you hurt her your going to have to answer to me..." He slowly then began petting Moki's head as she snuggled deeper into his warm chest.

Finally Moki looked up from Rex's chest and smiled at him, "Ok Mr. we need to get you to some place and get you healed up alright?" Rex laughed and Moki broke out into an even larger grin, "Your such a dweeb..." She then hit his chest and looked back at Bandit a soft simple smile on her face now, "Why don't we get you to the small apartment I was staying in and I can get you all fixed up too..." She then turned back to Rex and pulled away. As she started walking down the street she began humming to herself before looking back at the two, "Well come on... the sooner we get you two fixed up and get some rest the sooner we can go see Blue..." she then grinned even bigger closing her eye's as she waited for the two.
