"Yeah well..." Ruby struggled to come up with a retort to Tiger's 'suicidal' comment when Zira landed beside her. "....well I have a Amazonian Zebra woman so...." Ruby stuck out her tongue and flipped her middle finger at the fishman. Zira seemed serious, and she didn't want to get in the way of her using that dangerous electricity either. So she crouched down.
"Get him girl!" Ruby focused her powers, and 'stood' up. As she did, her metal legs extended quickly, raising her up and back to the ships deck. There she simply broke her extended 'legs' at the ankle, forming new feet and stepping out onto the deck.
"Cornelius! Get over here! I've got a plan!" It looked like Cornelius and Zira had already done a great job of disabling many of the crew, but more were coming out of the ship. "You know I'm really glad they seemed to have used most of their resources on that beach attack." Ruby said as she lowered herself to one knee, preparing several techniques at once. "There's no way we could take this ship if they had all those ninjas and sea stone knives." That didn't even count Bluebeard or Jashin. Those two were terrifying foes by themselves.
"Cover me! Shining Weave!" Ruby's hair shifted to golden fibers that began to snake out, moving as if they had a will of their own, forming a mass of loose gold. Ruby really loved the simplicity of this technique. Because she could freely meld the strands together, and separatethem as she needed, forming all kinds of shapes, weapons, or tools. "I'm not done yet....time to test out something new. Auxillia Manus!" In the language of science, it meant 'helping hand'. The name would show to be quite appropriate. The ends of her hair melded together as she poured more metal into the technique, forming into about six crudely articulated golden hands. Each hand was the size of a basketball, with geometric angles and surfaces instead of the natural curves and lines typical of a human hand. She could do better, but she didn't have the time. "Ok Cornelius. I can cover myself now, and you if you need. So go ahead and cut loose! Now for the finishing touch!"
Ruby raised her hands, focused her power, then slammed them to the deck. "FOUNDATION PLATE!" She started spreading gold out from her feet and hands, just like before with the cliff it grew out in sheets, layering over itself as it spread out beneath the layer of Oobleck Cornelius had so effectively covered the ship in. She would really have to study this stuff soon. It was definitely non-newtonian in nature....but what other secrets did it hold? What were its limitations?! WHAT WERE THE POSSIBILITIES?!
"Cornelius! Cannons!" Her curiosity was crashed by her attention being drawn to several pirates at the opposite end of the ship who seemed to be repositioning their cannons to fire upon the dynamic duo. Ruby was busy, and didn't have that kind of range naturally anyways. Besides, she needed to get this plate finished so she could stop Tiger from leaving if he got topside.
