Coffee, Squirrel and Strangler

[Slueshy]

Kurumi watched as her bolt seemingly bounced off of her target.  Cursing to herself as she realized she might be more than a little useless against such a target.  Furthermore, she'd been noticed once one, the first shot missing her, and the second one grazing her left arm, leaving a definite mark.  Wincing as she made to dodge out of the way, getting back into cover before another shot landed.  

Still feeling that the best target to go for was the big guy, Kurumi loaded another bolt into her crossbow, only instead of this one being dipped in any particular substance, she instead ran it along the length of her arm before transferring it to the weapon.  The bolt crackled with electricity as she quickly stepped out to fire off another shot.  "Shock Shot, don't fail me."  She said to herself as she loosed the bolt.  Though she didn't bother to see if she'd hit, not eager to receive more fire, she quickly went back into cover, hoping her aim had been true enough to hit the big guy again.  She knew the bolt likely wouldn't penetrate, but was hopeful an electric shock would slow the guy down a little bit.  If that didn't work she would switch to a suppressing fire of the other pirates.  

[Bobbie]

Yoshi was so focussed on thinning the numbers of their assailants and keeping their attention off Samuel, Annabella, and Kurumi, that he mistakenly paid little attention to the largest of the pirates, who was wielding a massive battle axe that was easily over half the size of Yoshi's body. As his gaze swept the deck after taking care of one opponent, gauging who would be best to target next, the captain’s voice bellowed through the air.

The entire ship shook as the man stomped on the upper deck, the floorboards creaking while the vessel lurched sickeningly. Yoshi struggled to maintain his balance as he grasped onto anything that was nearby, his feeble frame causing the young man to be as light as a feather. Flailing, he blindly caught onto some rigging that ran overhead, though there was no guarantee how much longer they would hold. With all the rocking movement, Yoshi was starting to feel sick and it showed in his face as his colour shifted from its healthy shade toward a sinister green.

His gloved hand clutching onto the lines to keep his body upright, a bright reflection struck his eye, prompting him to look up - it was the blade of the large man’s axe, catching the light at the perfect angle to reflect the sun’s rays into Yoshi's eyes.

The nauseated look on his face quickly turned into a horrified one that was promptly cast in shadow as the massive blade was brought down - though it was such a wide swipe with a huge weapon, that Yoshi couldn’t be certain that he was even the intended target or if the man’s goal was to sink the entire ship by hacking a massive hole in it with that deadly hunk of metal for a blade.

Fumbling, Yoshi let go of the ropes and hurriedly ran, partly crawling as he nearly tumbled over, out of the way. He had escaped certain death, but his jacket was now split down the middle at its tail.

“Come on, I just got my jacket replaced!” he complained, rotating his shoulders as his wings were trying to flutter instinctively to get himself to safety, but the jacket kept them down. It was better that way as they were in no condition to carry him anywhere, as the stinging sensation in his shoulder confirmed.

Once again, an arrow whizzed by, fired by none other than the crossbow-doctor as Yoshi had mentally dubbed her, which crackled through the air. As it passed him, the hair on the back of his neck stood on its end, reacting to the electricity in the bolt that was shot, leaving Yoshi in something of a daze. He was brought back when two more pirates charged at him, firing their weapons recklessly as the metallic sound of the steel pellets colliding with the large battle axe that was lodged into the deck could be heard. While it was wedged in the wooden structure fairly well, it provided excellent cover for him with a simple swift slide down behind it.

Eyeing other sources of cover, however, he knew he wouldn't have long before the large man would punish him for his cheeky hiding spot. He sprung from his position to lunge at one pirate who was running across the deck toward a target - Kurumi or Annabella - and he proceeded to use the invader as a human shield while disarming them and twisting their body into an uncomfortable lock, his arm squeezing around their neck to cut off airflow.

Yoshi: #b4ff38

[Mr. Moon]

Samuel #12

Despite surviving what could easily be the last mistake of his life in the form of the initial charge, Samuel was nowhere near safety as another pirate immediately jumped at him. This guy was quite short, stocky and heavily muscular, armed with pair of oversized metal gloves that were covering both of his hands all the way up to his forearms.

Without thinking twice, he took a swing against Samuel´s head, forcing the psychiatrist to jump backward to avoid the hit.

“BANG!”

Seeing her husband in trouble, Anabella shoot another of her coffee blasts against his opponent, but the man only grunted, swinging his second gauntlet in a counterattack that completely dissolved the incoming stream.

“Calling yourself a man when you let your woman fight your battles?”

He snorted, only to be sent flying backward as Samuel used a moment of his distraction to strike him right into his face.

“In a fight, everything goes.”

The Psychiatrist muttered, turning to an opponent.

---

And while Samuel was dealing with the short fighter the rest of their battle continued. Taking a huge swing, the captain of the Steam Punk Pirates missed Yoshi who managed to dodge his strike by the skin of his teeth, crushing the wooden planks under his huge weapon

“Dream on!”

He yelled again, tearing his trusted weapon from the deck after the young singer hid behind it to punish him for his cheekiness, but before he could take the swing another bolt hit him in the back. However, before it could bounce away again a jolt of electricity ran through the man´s body paralyzing him for a moment.

“That little ****”

He cursed, turning around to notice his two subordinates advancing against Kurumi´s cover with weapons in their hands.

“This was your last mistake you filthy squirrel!”

His voice booming across the deck, the captain charged against Kurumi´s cover his weapon in hands, leaving Yoshi alone with his victim. Or rather nearly alone, because as the pirate passed out from the strangulation another troublemaker appeared. Short ginger with a prosthetic left arm, who was barely in her early twenties whit face red from anger and hot coffee that hit her just a moment ago decided to vent her frustration on the singer unloading both of her revolvers in his direction.

“Who the h*ll are you guys?!”

She screamed angrily

[Slueshy]

Kurumi had no time to enjoy the fact that her attack had done something, as evidenced by the fact that the man had screamed at her, prompting her to peek out and see that he was now barreling towards her, two other pirates also advancing on her.  No time for anything fancy she came out in the open for a moment, hoping that the three pirates coming towards her would block any shots that might be aimed her way, she swiftly loaded up her crossbow and aimed a bolt at the two of the pirates closest to her, she aimed for their legs, both wanting to slow them down, and hoping that they would stumble and get in the way of the large monstrosity of a man now heading her way.  

Like moments ago, she had no time to see if her initial plan bore fruit, needing to be out of there now if it didn't.  She didn't have to be a doctor to know what condition she would be in if he got ahold of her.  So running it was!  Heading out of her position she made her way across the deck, she was fairly certain she could out maneuver the huge man, so as she ran she quickly loaded another bolt and shot it at the nearest pirate, doing so as she kept on the move, her accuracy suffered for it, but it was better than not shooting at all.  Unfortunately she couldn't keep out of trouble completely, running from the pursuing pirates right towards another.  

She could feel herself contorting madly in order to dodge around the blade of the pirate she was now next to, her tail moving as fast as it could in order to avoid being cut.  "Shit."  Not as agile as she'd like though, feeling a pain radiating to her side as she was cut just at her waist, an obvious tear in her dress though it only seemed to be a minor wound considering blood wasn't spurting everywhere.  Without much of a choice she brought one hand in, punching at the pirate next to her, not very effectively, she wasn't much of a pugilist, but the resulting electricity that danced off of her fur and into his body would probably keep him down.

[Bobbie]

Yoshi clung to the man, squeezing the life out of him until he fell unconscious. Becoming dead weight, he was about to discard the body, when a sudden gunshot rang through the air. Immediately, he spun to face the wielder of not one, but two revolvers, whipping the limp body in front of him as some form of shield. Forced onto the defence, he only hoped that this man wore armour that would prevent the bullets from penetrating his flesh and striking Yoshi. Thankfully, this proved to be true, but while he was protected from that threat, however, it didn’t stop the force of the collision.

With each bullet that was fired into the poor pirate within Yoshi’s grasp, the momentum sent Yoshi staggering back one step, two steps, three... until he finally fell backward with his enemy on top of him.

“We’re nobody, really… just in the wrong place at the wrong time.” With a muffled grumble, the young musician threw the heavy body off him and in the woman’s direction before he sprang to his feet. He was about to charge at her, but hesitated when he caught a proper glimpse of her and an eyebrow was raised in an instant.

There were many things about the woman that caught his attention, but apart from her attractive ginger hair and perfect height, it was the prosthetic that she wore which really struck Yoshi.

He was never one to be blinded by a pretty face, but his soft spot was undeniably for the underdogs of society. In a brief lapse of judgement, he allowed his quick assumptions of how she must have suffered through losing a limb to fool him into seeing this woman as something other than an enemy. However, that was not to say that he foolishly disregarded her as a threat - she did still have two revolvers in her hands, after all.

All of these thoughts rushed through his mind in a mere second, he quickly rushed the girl to grab her arm prosthetic arm first, having no concern of making any human contact there.

“Who are you?” He asked with genuine interest as his right hand went straight for her left wrist and his other hand grabbed the revolver in her right hand in a crossed pattern. Having a height advantage over her, he raised their arms and spun around while still holding her prosthetic arm and the revolver to get behind her, forcing her arms into a cross in front of her over her own body.

The singer tugged on the revolver, his other hand firmly holding the prosthetic limb that was attached to the second gun in her possession. “Drop the weapons and you won’t get hurt.”

Feeling confident that he had the situation under control, he took a moment to look for his comrades. Samuel seemed to be handling himself fairly well, while Kurumi appeared to be struggling at first. That was how it seemed, until he heard the faint crackling sound of the electricity that came from the mink's fur.

Yoshi: #b4ff38

[Mr. Moon]

Samuel #13

Sending his first opponent flying, the psychiatrist turned to another one, young man who charged at him with a buzzing chainsword in hands.

“Mirrored Moon”

Relaxing his body to become completely limp and flexible, Samuel danced between his various slashes and thrusts, avoiding each one by a skin of his teeth, until his opponent finally overextended, giving him a chance for a counterattack. Releasing his technique, the psychiatrist turned his whole body to the side and ducked, only to spring forward and up, sending the pirate into the ocean with a powerful uppercut. However, because of this manoeuvre he noticed too late a large steel fist flying into his direction, that hit him from the side, sending him flying across the deck.

“Urgh…”

The psychiatrist grunted as he crashed into the wooden planks with sharp pain emanating from his left arm. It wasn´t broken, but it hurt like h*ll anyway.

“In a fight anything goes right?”

Asked his previous opponent, as he pulled back his weapon a large metal fist connected to his arm with chain, that Samuel previously mistook for a big gauntlet.

---

As the psychiatrist enjoyed his flight, Kurumi was dropping pirates left and right, making their captain even angrier than before.

“Will you stop…HURTING MY PEOPLE!”

He yelled, furiously, shooting harpoon in her direction. His aim was off however or at least it seemed to be as the projectile had no chance of hitting the squirrel girl and pierced through the wooden deck instead. Only a moment later he showed it was a deliberate plan as some mechanism hidden in his weapon pulled the chain connecting the harpoon and his axe with enough strength to send him flying towards Kurumi.

“DROP DEAD!”

He yelled, steam shooting from his ears as he tried to land a drop kick in her face.

---

On the other part of the deck, the short ginger emptied her weapons into the unconscious body of her crewmate in a fit of anger. It wasn´t a sign of cruelty from her however as it turned out that the pirate was augmented in a similar fashion to their captain having a thick metal plating in front part of his trunk, that the bullets couldn´t just penetrate.

“You…”

She grinned through her teeth, moving her arms towards her waist, probably to reload her weapons only for them to be captured by Yoshi.

“I won´t get hurt? Oh that´s sweet.”

She smiled at him without even trying to mask the sarcasm in her voice.

“Well unfortunately for you, these guys who tried to made us into weapons gave me several interesting traits. One of them is resilience to electricity!”

As she yelled these words her artificial arm sparked with a blue light, releasing powerful electric jolt.

[Slueshy]

Kurumi was doing her level best to incapacitate as many enemies as she could, of course she was more than slightly startled by the sudden harpoon that just went by her, it missed though, but that wasn't any reason to stop worrying as that hulk of a man came flying at her, there wasn't all that much she could do.  Covering her face and bending her body to try and avoid him from kicking her in the skull, she felt her arms buckling as she took a glancing blow from this mans kick, which was enough to send her careening to the side, skidding along the deck until she roughly slammed into the railing, she could hear the sound of the wood splintering as she slammed against it, thankfully it didn't break and throw her into the ocean, not that she couldn't swim, but it was definitely a bit trickier when you were covered in fur.  

Her arms were hot, a radiating pain coursed through them as she wondered if they had been broken to some degree, but moving them didn't yield the sort of pain she figured she'd have if they had been broken, her dress had been torn more, she could see bits of it sticking to splinters on the deck, as well as seeing little splinters of the deck sticking to herself.  She could definitely feel an amount of wetness on certain parts of her body, knowing she had to have several scrapes and cuts from flying over there, red blotches would slowly begin to stain her tattered dress.  Breathing heavily, she still pulled herself up, not completely, she was kneeling on the deck as she hoisted her crossbow up once more.  Thankfully that huge oaf had launched himself at her, and she'd have time to get off another shot before he recovered.  Knowing poison wouldn't help her she loaded another bolt, her arm passing across it to transfer an electric shot to it.  Her arms shook as she pointed the crossbow, aiming for his torso so she wouldn't miss, loosing her crossbow, after which she began to move, slowly, being next to the railing was a good recipe for getting shoved over after all.

[Bobbie]

The sarcastic tone that Yoshi was met with took him by surprise. She looked sweet enough to be incapable of this violent act upon their ship, the young musician falsely assumed that she was a victim herself. When the blue light sparked across her prosthetic arm, his eyes widened as he couldn’t react fast enough.

Electricity travelled from her arm and into his, sending volts tingling painfully through his limb which quickly became crippling shocks. Tensing at first, it took Yoshi a minute to finally release the woman as his arm was flung off her person with a sharp wince that would have been more than that if the shocks hadn’t moved through his body to tense his jaw. Convulsing, he staggered back and fell onto the floor, writhing until the shocks died down and he could finally breathe.

“What the hell, lady!?” He snapped at her, his breathing heavy. “This is what I get for trying to be nice!” Springing to his feet, Yoshi moved more swiftly and quickly, the electricity having the undesired effect of revitalising the youngster as he was filled with electricity-infused adrenaline to have him fired up.

Steering clear of her artificial limb, he swept his arm across in front of him, grabbing onto her forearm and jerking it in one direction to throw her off balance with a slide whistle sound effect, then rotated the woman's arm in a circular motion in the opposite direction. At the end of this manoeuvre, he released her arm and brought his own in between them to slam his forearm like an iron bar into her chest just below her windpipe.

Shifting his stance into a more reactive one, he watched her to see if she would get back up immediately or grant him enough time to return to his friends.

Yoshi: #b4ff38

[Mr. Moon]

Samuel #14

Cursing for himself, Samuel climbed back to his feet, moving around with his bruised shoulder. It was uncomfortable, but his arm was still working.

Activating some hidden mechanism, his opponent was pulling the steel fist back to his arm, giving the psychiatrist an opportunity to glance towards his wife, who was just forced to transform into a puddle of coffee, to avoid two pirates attacking her with cutlasses.

Feeling a sharp sting of anger and fear for his wife, Samuel took off his jacket, throwing it on the deck.

“Ooooh, so now you are serious huh? Big bad guy thinking he can act cool huh?”

The pirate mocked him, taking a stance similar to boxing.

“Whatever…”

The Psychiatrist growled.

“From now on, anything goes right?”

Standing ten, maybe twelve steps away, the short pirate grinned, shooting his left fist against Samuel, missing completely as the Psychiatrist transformed into the form of a small bat, flying right after under the attack.

“What the…”

The pirate pulled his fist back laughing.

“So, this is your superpower? Transforming into a tiny a*s bat, you really think that…it…”

He stopped mid-sentence as Samuel, flew in his direction at full speed transformed into his hybrid form a human-sized monstrosity mixing the attributes of an ancient vampire bat and human.

“Hmmm…NOPE!”

The pirate yelled, trying to turn around and run, but he was too slow, as Samuel grabbed his shoulders with his legs, flying up in the skies with his struggling victim, only to drop him into the ocean.

---

Making a turn to head back to the ship, the psychiatrist witnessed Kurumi´s fight with the captain of the pirates. The hulk of a man didn´t land his kick the way he wanted but still managed to bruise the squirrel girl.

“Hehehe, now you are not so tough, are you?”

He growled, releasing another stream of steam from his ears while tearing the harpoon from the deck to ready his weapon again.

“The same trick…”

The growled as he noticed that Kurumi pointed her loaded crossbow at him.

“won´t work twice!”

Swinging his axe at the same time she pulled the trigger, he released a powerful blast of compressed air, that deflected the incoming bolt, before continuing in its path towards the squirrel girl.

---

“Nice?!”

The ginger yelled angrily as she managed to get from Yoshi´s grip.

“You almost tore my arm of you…you violent baboon!”

She cried, only to be attacked again. Swinging her metallic arm against Yoshi, the ginger his head and got her other arm captured and twisted into an arm bar forcing a cry of the pain out of her, before sending her flying with a mix of strike and body blow.

“Ouch…”

Hitting the ground the ginger remained there, looking at Yoshi with huge eyes that were quickly filling with tears.

“You…you hurt me…”

She whispered through trembling lips.

[Slueshy]

Her last shot was made ineffective, and she had to consider her options as the hulking man drew closer to her.  He had his harpoon ready once more and she wasn't sure just how she could handle this, her attacks were ineffective, she could attempt some fisticuffs, but she wasn't strong and would purely be relying on her electro to stun him, not a situation she wanted to end up in, but it would make for a decent surprise if he only thought it was her bolts that could be electrified.  

Though as she stood against the railing, perhaps that wouldn't be as bad of a plan as she thought, this man was clearly more than flesh and she wondered how well he could swim.  It was a risky plan to be sure, but if she succeeded, she could toss him overboard.  She shouldered her crossbow and got back on her feet.  She could feel the various aches and pains dotted around her body as she stood up, as if standing sent a fresh wave of acknowledgement across her and let her feel each wound more precisely.  Grabbing one of her bolts, she held it in her hand, intent on making it look like she planned to use it as a stabbing implement, of course she would if she could, but it was more to make him think that the danger was from the bolt, not her own body.  

Standing at the ready she said.  "Then I'll just have to learn another."  Keeping her body primed as he came forwards, ready to move at a moments notice to dodge the harpoon, if anything she hoped he might try that again, she could dodge past him and hit him quickly as he propelled to where ever his harpoon impaled.  Though she assumed he was going to come in with the axe and attempt to cut her down.  She was prepared though, hopefully she would come out of this in one piece.  

[Bobbie]

Yoshi stared at the ginger who was now on the ground and staring back up at him with large teary eyes. It didn’t take long at all for him to feel bad and extend a hand to help her up.

“I’m sorry, but you attacked- no!” He quickly withdrew his hand and interrupted his own words. “I’m not falling for this again. You attacked me first.”

Pulling at some loose rigging, he grabbed hold of a torn rope in one hand and wasted no more time in circling round her to be behind her. Having the rope go round her torso a few times, he tied it off at her wrists to keep them behind her back, while he avoided touching her prosthetic as much as he possibly could in order to avoid another shock.

For a moment, his attention shifted away from his opponent to glance at Samuel who had just gone through a huge transformation, one that always awed the young musician. It was amazing to consider the huge differences between them and their devil fruit abilities.

Jumping, he reached the other end of the rope and pulled it as he found it was connected to a pulley, suspending the poor girl in the air.

“There. You should have dropped your weapons when I asked you to…” He uttered with a bit of a sulk as he tied the rope around the taffrail to hold her. Quite proud of himself, he turned to face his friends once more, his back now to the poor ginger, a trophy of his success in battle that was coupled with a proud grin on his face.

Of course, it didn’t take a genius to realise that both Kurumi and Samuel had some tougher opponents. Staring at the axie-wielding monster in particular, he did not envy their medic friend.

Yoshi: #b4ff38

[Mr. Moon]

Samuel #15

After dropping his rather obnoxious cargo into the ocean, Samuel made a small circle above their cruiser, taking a look on the situation bellow. It wasn´t looking that bad as he was afraid it would. Kurumi and Anabella were quite effective when it came to dealing with the rank and file and Yoshi already subdued his opponent leaving only the captain chasing Kurumi and two dangerously skilled swordsmen, who were doing their best to stop his wife from transforming back from her coffee form. And while the little squirrel was definitely in more dangerous position, the monstrous vampire bat didn´t think for a second when deciding who will get his help first.
A blink of an eye later, he dived down, changing the trajectory of his flight into J shape at the very last second.
“What the…”
One of the swordsmen managed to say as he noticed the large shadow approaching them in a great speed, but all he managed to do was turn his head in that direction, only to catch a flying knee from Samuel, who transformed into his human form mid-flight.
“Urgh…”
He growled, falling to the ground with shattered face.
“Sh*”
The other swordsman cursed but taking his eyes away from the psychiatrist beautiful wife proved to be dangerous mistake.
“Reinforcement!”
Finally being able to reform her body, the young barista transformed her right arm into the form of hot coffee, hitting her last opponent with a ferocious uppercut while enhancing her strength with a powerful stream of coffee, that send him flying.

---

There was a hidden mischievous light in the ginger´s eyes, that flickered the moment Yoshi offered her his hand, but quickly disappeared as he pulled back and grabbed a piece of rope instead.
“Hey, what the…hands of me you weirdo!”
She cried, trying her best to get away from the singer, but before she could get up on her feet, she found herself tied up, hanging from the main mast. Suddenly all pretence was gone and the hurt, crying girl transformed into very angsty woman, that was struggling against the ropes while throwing curses on the poor musician.
“What the h*ll? Untie me you filthy gorilla! You…you…DADDY SOME PE*VERT TIED ME UP!”

---

The gargantuan captain was barely a two steps away from Kurumi, with his axe ready to strike down on that little squirrel, when he heard the cry for a help. Surprisingly, for the callous man he posed as, the cyborg made a 180° turn in full sprint, ignoring the danger exposing his backs to his opponent caused.
“What…the…HANDS OFF MY BABY GIRL YOU WORM!”
He yelled in anger, charging across the deck towards Yoshi.

[Slueshy]

Kurumi was more than a little surprised as the hulking man turned so quickly away from her.  Her breathing was rapid as she still held her position, her mind still trained on the idea that she would have to dodge his axe swing and strike him in order to try and stun him.  Instead she watched him turn away from her and leave himself completely open.  It took her a moment to collect her thoughts as she saw him rushing towards Yoshi. 


"Crap." She said quickly as her arms scrambled for the crossbow she had shouldered, not thinking she would need to fire it so soon!  Not to mention as she watched him run off, her body seemed to physically slump a bit, all the tension of having to perfectly strike back at him had left her with a bit of a slight dazed sensation in her body, which is why she returned to kneeling on the deck in a few short moments, both to rest her body, and to steady her aim as she leveled her crossbow and drew a bolt, slotting it into place.  Running her hand across the metal bolt, the electricity in her fur jumping to it as she pointed her crossbow square at her targets back as he ran towards Yoshi. 


Squeezing the trigger she uttered "Shock Shot." To herself as the bolt left her crossbow and sailed directly towards her target.  After which she looked around to survey if any other enemies were near her, finding that she was pretty isolated, any of the other pirates were likely busy or hadn't figured they'd need to help their boss when he was barreling towards her.

[Bobbie]

“I haven’t done anything to you that warrants such an insult!” Yoshi yelled back at the girl, before he felt the ship shake. Turning to see the source that rocked the boat, his eyes went wide when he saw the gargantuan captain charging at him full speed.

Frozen on the spot, he gulped air, before he uttered some very bold words in a very small voice:  “I’m not a worm…”

Shaking from head to toe, he finally willed his body to move and took a step back, his heel kicking the end of the rope that held that girl with the prosthetic arm suspended. As panic began to flood through him, Yoshi was the first one to flinch when Kurumi fired her arrow, the crack of the draw rope as it released the bolt mistaken for a pummeling attack that he expected to come from the captain.

Seeing that he was still unharmed as he patted his body down, checking that he was still in one piece, he looked at Kurumi, then grinned. The young musician kicked the rope up into his hand and hopped up onto a barrel, than a large crate while their opponent was dealing with Kurumi’s attack. Leaping behind the giant, Yoshi’s wings fluttered just enough to catch a bit of wind without doing any damage to Kurumi’s stitch work, and he landed on his feet on the other side with the rope within his gloved grasp.

He then yanked it with all his strength - which was not a huge amount, given his stature - to have both father and daughter entwined in the same rope. This way, his own strength was quite irrelevant, as he was using the giant’s weight to securely hoist the girl up higher on the mast.

Yoshi: #b4ff38

[Mr. Moon]

Samuel #16

The psychiatrist was never hiding the fact, that he would sacrifice anyone on the ship if it would mean his wife would stay safe and he wouldn´t lose sleep over it. But it was never so obvious as at the moment when Kurumi and Yoshi faced the enraged captain, while Samuel was hugging Anabelle, paying no attention to these two and their fight.
“Are you alright? Did they hurt you?”
Still stranger to the fighting, the young barista hugged him back, shaking her head in disagreement.
“No, I…I think I am getting used to my new abilities, but…shouldn´t we help them?”
She nodded towards the last active battlefield on the ship, that was dozen or so meters away from them.
“I think they are doing alright.”
The psychiatrist noted as Kurumi shot her electrized bolt in his back. As before the bolt itself didn´t do much, but the electricity it carried stopped the pirate long enough for Yoshi to do his trick and wrap the man in the same rope that previously captured his daughter.
“You…little…PIECE OF S*IT!”
The monster of man screamed as his muscles bulged against his bonds, tearing it to a piece with just his brute strength alone.
“Or maybe not…”
The psychiatrist cursed as he noticed the Steam powered man grabbing his monstrous axe again swinging it with both hands against Yoshi.
Transforming into his bat form, Samuel batted his small wings in the air immediately disappearing as he moved with a blinding speed towards the fighters. He knew that even with his unnatural speed he wouldn´t be fast enough to protect Yoshi and so he didn´t even tried it, picking a different target.
Unaware of what was happening behind her back the ginger cheered for her dad while swinging back and forth in her bounds.
“Yes dad! Kick their as*es!”
