Sinking him had worked! Well, for the few moments where they both slammed underwater, until the point where Bucket would inevitably realise that the man behind the helmet is actually a fishman who is somehow racist against other fishmen. A headache on its own, it only worsened when he revealed that his movement was unimpaired, having a fist slammed into the shell of his head.
The big man was forced to let him go, being pushed back while in the water, a few good amount of shards floating away from his head. A bit of his slimy, nautilus head was revealed, with that one visible, beady red eye stared right at him. This Ensign Havard, who just kept saying bullshit, kept pissing off the already pissed off Bucket. Every word he said now angered him, every action, every movement. Remembering his smarmy grin made him even angrier.
"Let's make a deal. Every word that comes out of your lips is an extra kick to the nuts I'll give you."
Honestly, this was just a way to make Havard's annoying words something incredibly fun. It wasn't like the marine had a choice in the matter either, it wasn't even a threat, it was a promise!
So, with that said, he prepared himself to show just why he liked to go underwater so much against annoying enemies.
Water got quickly sucked into his back, a compartment that was kept close to the top of his spine, having it inflate to its full size in just a moment. In a single moment, all of it was expelled out, with enough force behind it to send the Nautilus Fishman blasting off at an almost unrivaled speed, way past Ensign Havard.
It only him a moment to slow down a slight bit to suck up water once again, dashing off yet again, this time, directly at Havard.
He swung his fist directly at his face, a quick, powerful punch aimed at his helmet, one with enough force and speed to send a shockwave right after the punch, acting very much like an "after-shock" sort of thing, but the after-shock is a projectile.
That confidence, the endless smarm, the self assured greatness. It all went away once Monsieur Laskt realized that the rube of a buffoon was learning how to keep balance in their shaky flooring, knowing well that his quick and vicious Fencing Style would likely lose to him if he lost his mobility advantage. In fact, it was imperative that he kept this advantage present, as well as making sure that the defiant rebel wouldn't become a big problem anytime soon.
"Quiet, petulant child." Snorted out Laskt who, by this point, had reached into his cape yet again, using that skilled off-hand of his to throw yet another knife directly at Deman, who was using his blade to keep himself balanced, aiming specially at his right knee. A nice, quick way to make it so that even standing is painful.
Of course, he made sure that he didn't stay still for too long. Holding the blade high, slightly angled down at Deman, Monsieur Laskt dashed straight at him, assaulting him with a flurry of weaker, yet painful jabs, not even trying to hide his strategy: as a refined man, who was knowledgeable in various things, he knew that the body could go into shock or, worse, an adrenaline rush if he put him through too much pain.
So he was making sure that Deman felt it like a rain, instead of a crashing wave. Either way, both can eventually make him drown.
