Orange you glad?

[Genbu]

A town by the sea was always the most attractive. 

Sitting next to the sea usually meant many things, but was not limited to fresh fish, a slightly cooler atmosphere, and varied travelers. 

Fresh fish though, oh fresh fish. Much better than dried meat or hard tack. 

What's more, a town like this obviously would have a great bar of sorts, one that would not only serve fresh fish, but a drink that paired well with it. Few times, instead of looking for the best thing to eat, looking for the simplest thing usually brought out the best in the ingredients. 



And that's why Lukas was looking up at the bar that proclaimed itself to be 'Drinker's Pub' with a sign that stated it had been rebuilt better than before. A small grumble rose from his stomach and Lukas gave it a few dismissive pats, wondering if this would be the place that would treat him to the meal he wanted. He got a few stares from passing travelers and residents, but that was it for the most part. He just looked a little odd compared to most, but he carried no sword or gun, his face seemed calm and almost happy, and he just seemed interested in the building before him. 

Very normal. 

He hoped at least. Movement on his back, beneath the shield, altered him to his own companion getting a little tired of him just standing around, and he nodded he head and grinned. 

"Aye, nothin will come our way just standin here. Let's get something to eat." He'd muse aloud, taking a deep breath and approaching the doorway, pushing it open and walking in confidently, looking around and trying to gauge the crowd inside. And... well... it was a mixed bag. There seemed to be a few families, various townsfolks, and the rest all seemed to be sailors and travelers like him, and a small weight was lifted off his shoulders. 

Like this, he wouldn't have to worry too much, and Lukas made his way over to the bar itself, picking a seat that had empty seats around it. He sat down, spun around once, and stopped himself facing forward, happily waiting for a menu of sorts to come his way, excitement reverberating through his body. 

[Shisha]

Laying on her side, staring up at the waves crashing into the ship and the long seemingly endless waters of the east blue around them, whilst listening to her third favorite Soul King song via her headphones, Sukkari was blissfully unaware of the teeming masses of other grunts actually Doing the jobs required of them. Like always, or most of the time she lay there on her side relaxing, tapping her finger onto the deck in time to the beat, lifting stupidly heavy weights with her legs, laying leg lifting while relaxing. Around her men scrubbed, cleaned, hoisted sails and all the other things you'd expect a marine grunt to do on deck. Except her. Which aroused the Erie of her ships commander who, suddenly loomed over her shouting muffled things, blocked by her music. She blinked and pulled her left earphone away just a tiny little bit...

"Recruit! Get up and do your job... before I throw you overboard myself!" 

Like a scared rodent she shot up off the deck and stood at attention, panicking as the large man walked around her in circles, seemingly inspecting her. The kind of man who was all brawn, muscles upon muscles, draped in the attire of a ships captains uniform, a thick brown beard covering the lower half of his face and a stern no nonsense attitude to his face. She Tried her best to look ahead and not move a muscle, despite the song making her feet tap. He grunted and relented, going back to his duties as she let out a long sigh of relief as his back turned. Walking back over to pick up her weights, or at least pushing them out the way with a stiff push of her foot.

Eventually after a while the ship docked, mostly to resupply and such, Sukkari however was tasked with the simplest of tasks. Fresh Water. But instead of listening to her captain properly, she upon hearing "fresh" and "water", ran off like a hyperactive child. Eager to explore the island, much to the facepalm of the Captain. She found herself not long after, utterly lost. Walking up the sides and to the rooftops of buildings to get her bearings, to the shock and confusion of the towns folk. Spotting a bar nearby her stomach rumbled. Eyes lit up and off she sprinted, Arriving at and through the doors with a trail of dust in her wake.

Smiling and waving as she appeared at the door in her usual friendly way, her marine issued cape blowing around in the trail of dust she brought with her. Casually strolling up to the bar she banged both fists on the table excitedly, a huge broad grin on her face. 

"I want something Sticky and Sweet! The Sweetest Thing you have!..". Pausing only to blink and smile, waving her hand apologetically at the bar tender. "...S..Sorry... Please? thank you!". 

[Genbu]

Lukas happily handed the menu he had been given back to the bartender who came over to help him, thoughts of a freshly seared fish dish dancing through his head. He had checked with the bartender, went through the options and what the bartender suggested, and ordered himself the pub's daily special, an ice cold pint of the pub's best brew, a glass of water and a fresh whole fillet of fish, not cooked, for reasons he did not disclose. He could feel Lisa shift against his back, excited to get something to eat as well. 

He stretched out his back and leaned forward on his hands, a wide smile on his face as he waited for his food when the sudden and abrupt BANG on the bar shook Lukas out of his thoughts and in his chair, a small cloud of dust 'poofing' out from the underside of the bar. Shocked and making sure he didn't suddenly fall over from the sudden bang, Lukas swiveled his head quickly to see what was the source of such a rough entrance and... it was just someone also excited for food?

Not just sweet, but something sticky and sweet? Lukas looked at the newcomer blankly, before looking to the bartender who had almost dropped the notepad where they had wrote down Lukas' order. The bartender stood there frozen for a few seconds, before the request of the marine lass registered and he gave her his best customer service smile. "O-Of course, right, just a few moments." He'd say, before heading back into the kitchen.

Turning his attention back to the woman, Lukas took in her appearance real quick. Seemed well trained, marine, hot, and perhaps she was a bit impulsive with the way she entered the bar and such. Well, no reason not to be friendly, right?

He'd give a smile and a wave of his hand, never one to pass on a possible conversation with someone, never knowing what sort of stories they might have. "Hello there, not lookin to get something more savory before gettin yaself a dessert?" He'd ask, trying to make some conversation. 

[Shisha]

Holding cutlery in each fist, banging them playfully on the counter top, a huge excited grin on her face as the bar tender hurried off to get her some food. She paused as another man came up to her, having to wipe the drool from her chin with her arm from the thought of sweet delicious and terribly unhealthy food. At first she couldn't take her eyes off the green hair and the turtle theme the man had going for him. It was, different for sure. But then again she'd seen a marine back in the barracks wearing a robot suit, with a craving for mass amount of bananas. Smiling she put down the cutlery and turned to face him.

"No way!, i've been stuck on bland rations and drinking water for days now. Besides, the best way to learn about a new place is to eat the sweetest thing they have on the menu".

She offered her hand, smiling kindly back at him, "The Names Sukkari, seaman recruit of the world governme..." she stopped. Dead in her speech.

The bar tender had returned with what could only be described as a form of ice-cream sundae, just bigger than the standard you'd expect. Sukkari suddenly lit up in her eyes, grabbing the double spoons in the dessert with both hands, beginning to shovel it into her face at speed. Stray blobs and pieces of it flying out in all directions. For a moment she stopped, gulping down the mouthful she had, eyes almost watery from how good it was. In her head, she was running through a field made of sweets, running across the surface of a candy river. Then she began her consumption of the sugary splendor. The sweet treat slowly vanishing layer by layer from sight. Eventually the spoons stopped, the munching ceased and then both spoons landed in the bowl, spinning around the rim a few times before settling. Sukkari let out a tremendous burp, slapping down some money on the counter next to her. Wiping her face clean with her sleeve.

"One more Bar guy!" she shouted, turning to the turtle man with a smile, patting the chair next to her "You've got to try these, its delicious!".

Sadly to the man on the Other side of her, he had taken the backfire of her messy eating, his side covered in bits of ice-cream, walking off with an angry expression to the restrooms.

[Genbu]

The sweetest thing? Sure he liked sweets as well, but he always thought that a full meal was the best way to judge a town's culinary prowess. 

"Well far be it for me to judge how ya judge places... interesting statement." He said, thinking a bit at the end and letting out a laugh before shaking his head. No need to think too deeply on it, he's just got to wait for his food to arrive and he'll be a happy man. 

A hand was offered and a name was given, and Lukas reached for it, getting ready to give an introduction of his own to this Sukkari when she stopped talking and focused on something entirely different, which just happened to be the sweetest thing she ordered. Suddenly the hand vanished and was once more armed and ready to take on the mountainous bowl of ice cream. Lukas hovered his hand aimlessly in the space between them for a moment, before his own eyes widened and from his back his shield was quickly drawn and held in front of him. 

He could hear the splats and gulps as she, for lack of a better term, DEVOURED the ice cream dual spoon style, once again glad that he had opted for a shield when picking a weapon. Holding the shield up one handed, he watched a few blobs land on the counter nearby and he scooted over a seat to put a bit more distance between the two of them, before finally hearing the clanging of spoons in the bowl. Lowering his shield tentatively, Lukas let out a sigh of relief and lowered it fully. 

"I might give it a try if they have any left after my own meal." Lukas said with an amused tone, watching the neighbor who was on her other side walk off in a huff. Luckily, his own food came, and was placed on the bar in front of him after a quick swipe of a cleaning cloth. He smiled and nodded at the bartender, who after putting the pint down for Lukas picked up the empty ice cream bowl carefully and went back to the back. 

Lifting the fresh fish off the plate, Lukas gave a short whistle and held the fish right above his left shoulder, which was furthest from Sukkari, and Lisa slithered up from the now exposed bag and latched onto the fish. She'd happily swallow it whole before resting partly on his shoulder as the fish would make its way down. He'd pick up a fork with his free hand, keeping the shield out still and a seat between him and Sukkari as he took a bite of his own food. "Aye... that right there... that's what I was waitin for." He said with a pleased sigh. 

Far be it from Lukas to notice a few other people talking with the poor man who had been splattered with ice cream. 

[Shisha]

The broad smile returned as the second bowl of ice-cream was placed in front of her, this time adopting a single spooned technique for its consumption. Slowly dragging the spoon around the edge, closer and closer to the middle with each passing moment. Between mouthfuls she watched the green turtle man eat his own and smiled happily at him. But, as time went on, she found herself inching closer and closer to his shield. At one point her face was inches from it, soon poking it with her spoon out of curiosity.

"So...what's with the shield? Never seen one like it before"

She kept poking and bonking it with her spoon, in random places, in some weird way trying to examine it before going back to her meal. Munching down stupidly large helpings of it between listening to his story. However in the background the man who was unlucky enough to be in ground zero of her feeding frenzy was scowling, talking in secret to a rather unruly group of other men, most sporting scars of some kind, most armed with at least a sword or a simple pistol. They never took their eyes off her, each large gulp of those drinks they had seemed to just make them angrier.

Sukkari broke the conversation with another loud burp, cutting him off in mid speech, but with an apology on the end of it. She'd noticed the scowling folks behind her and turned to wave at them. Only to get angry and horrible shouts back, even if she couldn't quite make out what they were saying. To this she turned to the bar man and winked, making him sigh and walk into the back at the object she'd gestured for. A large bottle of drink. Once her hand was on it, she turned back to the men and tossed it towards them in a friendly manner. Without even stopping to see if it was caught, she carried on the conversation.

"So, what are you doing here anyway? I'm here for supplies and such, seems everyone here has a chip on the shoulder. Your different. And your clearly hiding something. I can tell". She winked, pointing at the shield again. "Don't have to tell me, not my business, but you may want to finish the food soon. From the looks I've been getting, I don't think my company is...welcomed around here."

[Genbu]

The second bowl, it seemed, was going to be eaten less messily, and thus Lukas relaxed the shield a bit, lowering his arm with it equipped and focused more on his meal and enjoying each bite. He was quite engrossed with his own meal when he felt the very faint tapping on his shield, and after taking a swig of his drink, Lukas moved the shield enough to spot Sukkari poking it. He looked at her and tilted his head a little when she spoke up, questioning the shield and poking it more with her spoon. 

He would have to wash it later, give it a good cleaning to get all the ice cream and chocolate and whatever else went onto the sunday off. "W-Well... I was saved by a large sea turtle when a ship I was riding was destroyed so I started anew with..." Yet before he finished, she had cut him off and her attention shifted from him, to a group of people who seemed to be talking heated among themselves and focusing over on the two of them, even going so far as to give a wave to the group only for angry responses to return.

Maybe... maybe he shouldn't had gotten into a conversation with this woman... part of him worried. 

Another gesture from the woman and the barkeep seemed to grumble and disappear for a moment, before returning with a bottle that Sukkari took and then straight up threw it off toward the group which caught Lukas off guard and he turned and focused on his food, not wanting to draw any more attention to himself before he finished his meal. He took another big bite of the fish before he heard her talking to him once again, and Lukas swallowed the bite and took another big drink before pounding his chest a bit, coughing a little. 

"Me? I'm just traveling and searching for some of the best dishes I can find. Nothin too crazy ya know. Maybe some adventure, maybe some 'fun', whatever might come my way." Lukas said, reaching up and giving the snake's head resting on his shoulder a soft scratch as she digested her meal. 

Then the statement about him finishing his food and her not being welcomed made him let out a bit of a sigh. Would he only have enough time to finish this dish before getting dragged into a fight he wasn't even really a part of? Well... he grinned to himself, it'd be a good after meal exercise. "I'm almost done, a bit more and I'll be good to go." He said, moving the shield back onto his back and covering the bag with the snake once more. With both hands free, Lukas dug into his dish with renewed fervor and quickly approached the end of his meal. 

[Shisha]

It didn't take long for what she expected to happen. As she got up and stretched, arms above her head, chest pushed out, the men from earlier started to approach. The group of three men, all of which looked furious and scowling at her formed a half circle behind her. One had his hands on a single pistol holstered on his hip, but seemed particularly drunk from the lack of focus in his eyes and the liquid on his chin from having missed his mouth. The other with a sword hidden behind him, not drunk but probably just as dim as the first. However the man who'd taken her ice-cream assault was particularly close, fronting on her but, from behind. His breath stank of beer and anger. Poking her in the shoulder stiffly with one hand.

"Oi!...Little miss Marine officer... We don't take kindly to your Types around here. Nothing but trouble, everywhere you go things get worse.."

She didn't smile this time, taking on a rather serious face as she turned to face him. Pausing to look him over from head to toe, taking her sweet time to do so to boot. From the moment she'd walked in she'd known who he was, was being the crux of it. Before landing here for supplies, a week before to be exact, her ship had encountered a pirate ship in mid plunder. This man was, back then, one of their crew. One who had not been thrown into irons that very day. She hadn't actually been awake when the fighting started, but had crawled out of bed just as the last of them escaped. Remembering his face while she was still groggy, from spotting them off the side of the ship in a rowboat. And it seemed he remembered her.

The serious face suddenly vanished as quick as it came, broadly smiling again before swiftly scooting up next to him, giving him a playful dig in the arm. "I thought I recognized you! You're that guy from the...Oh right what was the name again? Black tacs?"

"Blackjack you Stupid girl! You locked up my friends!" 

He shouted back, moving away from her and slapping his hand on the shoulder of the guy on his right. Who approached with a sword drawn.

Hands up she smiled and poked out her tongue, reaching to her headphones while glancing over at Lucas. Mouthing the word sorry to him as the headphones covered her ears. The third man approached now and in doing so pushed past Lucas, forcing his food onto the floor where the three second rule defiantly didn't exist.

[Genbu]

Lukas didn't really pay too much attention to what was going on when the three men appeared around Sukkari and instead focused on eating his food. From the energy she displayed to the force which she had hit the bar when she first came in, Lukas had a feeling she was a force to be reckoned with all on her own. 

If there was going to be a fight though, there was a good chance that his meal might get interrupted or worse, and thus his focus was on the plate and drink alone. 

He had gotten a good deal of the food eaten, and only had a few bites left but among those few bites were parts that he was planning to save to the end, parts which he had tasted and was sure going to leave the best after taste in his mouth out of all of it. 

Bump. 

Crash. 

Lukas sat there, looking at what was now an empty spot on the bar where the plate once sat, having been knocked behind the bar from the bump from the strange man who now openly challenged the Marine Woman for whatever reason. He took a deep breath and placed the fork and knife on the table and placed his hands on the bar, trying to calm himself down but there were a few things he really looked forward too, and eating good food was one of those things. 

He turned his head slightly, spotting the man who had bumped his plate into oblivion facing toward Sukkari, and Lukas pushed himself up from his chair and stood to his full height standing just a bit taller than the man. Without saying anything, Lukas reached out and grabbed the man by the back of his head, causing him to let out a confused 'Wha..?" before Lukas lifted him into the air and slamming the man face-first onto the floor of the pub. 

"Oi, ya best be watchin what ya doin, less ya anger someone ya shouldn't." Lukas hissed, standing once again to his full height and cracking his knuckles. 

Don't mess with a man's simple pleasures. 

[Shisha]

Lucas now standing and throwing himself into the argument seemed to only rile the men up further, two of the men now facing him, trying to stare the turtle themed man down. At first the men had no intention of backing down but, as time went by and the first started to look confused as Sukkari seemed to be, smiling and of all things, dancing just a little. As he went to speak, to ask what on earth she was doing, the young marine shot a hand up, signaling him to be quiet without saying a word. As they gave each other looks of confusion and returning anger the other patrons of the establishment began to run from the building. Some yelling of an impending fight, others just running and a few shouting of both marines and pirates.

This seemed to gather more people to the location, probably just onlookers, but some seemed to have their own reasons. Starting to shout at the people inside. Hatred of Marines, Pirates and everything in between. Soon the crowd outside were getting just as heated as the people inside and through all of this, Sukkari could hardly hear anything. Smiling as the music kicked in.

"Love this part.."

As the first man reared a fist back behind him. Throwing a punch towards her but her leg came up in front of her, striking him square in the jaw, Not only sending him back and up into the air, but hitting and bouncing off the timbers of the ceiling. Landing with a crash on the table nearby where an old man was eating.

It was like the gun going off at the start of a race, suddenly the men attacked Lucas and Sukkari, the fighting and sudden crashing sound sparking violence outside the building, a flash brawl of sorts. The building and the outside turning into one big fist fighting brawl, bottles flying, furniture breaking. But the old man kept on eating regardless, picking around the body on his table.

[Genbu]

Dance fighting. That was pretty new to him, at least as far as he could recall. It seemed like Sukkari was getting into a bit of a groove and with a well timed kick she sent the man she had covered in ice cream rocketing into the air and onto a nearby table, not ruining the meal for an old man. 

Lucky bastard.

Shaking his head and turning his attention toward the slowly growing brawl happening in the bar, Lukas took the pint off the bar and finished off his drink with one large gulp and slammed the mug onto the bar, though not hard enough to break it, and turned toward a group of individuals making their way toward him and Sukkari. 

A bottle was swung at Lukas, and he snatched it out of the air and placed it on the bar behind him, bringing his fist swinging around and striking the man who attempted to strike him in the side and sending him gasping to the ground. He looked over at Sukkari, about to ask a question and realizing she was still wearing headphones, so he raised his voice a tad more, "Oi, shouldn't ya be tryin to stop this from gettin worse? Ya want some help?" He'd ask, doing his best to not show off the wide grin he had on his face. 

He was doing his best to not straight up run into the fray, keeping a bit to the outskirts in hopes that he wouldn't gain any blame for what was happening. Granted, he may of knocked out the first person, but really he didn't do it because he just wanted to fight. Now though, chaos was really going hard and the turtle themed man was just wanted to fight without getting into trouble. Which was part of the reason he was asking the Marine if she wanted some help. 

[Shisha]

With her foot pressing into the small of an attackers neck, body in the ground under her foot, Sukkari looked up at Lucas. Pulling one ear piece of her headphones away just enough to be able to hear him, his muffled self now somewhat clearer. This only made her smile grow from a happy one into a down right creepy for for just a moment before fading back to the happy one. With a swift push of her foot, the man went sliding across the floor like an ice hockey puck, knocking the odd persons down as he went, along with some chairs.

She leaned back onto the bar at the uproar she had "accidentally" caused, with her headphones on it was actually a hilarious sight to see, from her perspective anyway. Like a bar fight with the sound muted and a fun song played over the top of it, people getting knocked around and falling over in stupidly perfect timing to the song.

"Probably, then again..."

With a sly grin while he wasn't looking, she reared her foot behind Lucas and gently, nudged him towards the fray.

Said fray being the four individuals each clutching items from their table. Bottles, bowls, plates and even a chair or two. Attempting to smash the items over each other. With Lucas now in the mix, they tried it on him. All the while the Marine leaned back and watched.

Knowing he wanted to fight, spotting that bottle strike he'd done and the way he threw his body into it. From the moment she'd met him, the second she'd spotted a shield on his arm, knew he was a fighter. It was too strange for him not to be, walking around with an item like that. Then again her thoughts were broken by her own assailants who rushed the bar, not necessarily her, but having the bad luck of going her way. One with a sword, an actual legitimate attack at her.

Moving her foot around she placed it on his arm as he swung, pushing his arm too far in one direction making him miss. But walked on his shoulder, jumped and landed on both feet, on the ceiling. Walking across it, upside down to everyone else she smiled and shrugged. The fight indoors stopped dead for a moment, everyone looking up at her confused and bewildered, before the shock wore off, the fighting continuing. Her legs stopped, standing perfectly still, feet losing their powers and making her drop as she gave a little swing of her legs, landing upright, the right way up. Standing by the door smiling, waving at Lucas, watching him have fun.

[Genbu]

Lukas couldn't help but chuckle a little when the man who had just moments before had been trying to attack Sukkari was now sliding across the floor into people as if the floor was greased. He was watching the scene with a bit of interest, because even if the two of them had been the start of things it seems as there was enough anger or malice in the bar to somehow break out into something even more than a small brawl. 

Sure enough, when Sukkari gave him a nudge by pushing the shield on his back, Lukas was caught enough off guard to stumble forward a bit and into a small squabble amongst the larger tussle, with four individuals about to strike each other with various objects. With their attention now turned toward the sudden intruder, their items soon followed and were swung toward Lukas with the intent to harm, and thus Lukas enacted Turtle defense number 1. 

Bending down and pulling his arms over his head, Lukas felt various items hit the shield on his back and shatter, crack, or just break. After a moment, Lukas popped back up, both arms spread out to his sides and striking two of the assailants on the chin, knocking them back, Lukas let out a loud laugh. The other two standing more to the front of him looked at him with confusion before swinging at him once again, but this time Lukas parried both strikes with the back of his hands before bringing his open palms straight down onto their shoulders, dislocating the shoulders of each man before putting his hands on their chests and pushing them to the ground. 

No longer surrounded, Lukas turned to face Sukkari to see what she'd react to him coming out from what she basically sent him into, only to see her somehow jump up onto the ceiling... standing upside-down. A marine with... "A devil fruit..." He whispered, his brows furrowing a little before he looked away at an incoming attacker, this one brandishing a knife that he tried to jab into Lukas. Lukas, however, struck the man straight in the chest with the back of his hand, feeling the man slump at the impact and fall to the ground. 

That made him feel a little better. He could see Sukkari now, by the doorway now and giving him a wave, and he waved back as he began to make his way toward her, avoiding some of the fights. 

[Shisha]

"See i knew you were a fighter!"

The Young marine Proclaimed as Lucas walked up to her through the mass of people still brawling, arms high up above her excitedly. Watching him dodge and avoid danger on the way, only confirming what she'd thought. Once through the mass of people she moved next to him, draped an arm over his shoulder and walked him out through the doors with a huge smile plastered on her face. Only to pause and blink, surprised by the even larger brawl before them.

Somehow the tiny bar brawl has enveloped the outside of the building, towns folk, dock workers, even the odd pirate and Marines clashing in one giant sprawling mass. Letting go of the Turtle man she coughed to mask her surprise at the situation, before a group came out of the crowd. The rest of the pirates who's crew mate had started all of this in the first place. All standing in a semi circle before Sukkari and Lucas, scowling and angry. Mostly at her, but through proximity, Lucas too. As the fight went on around the group and them, Sukkari lifted a hand to wave sheepishly at them, her always friendly self even when in danger creeping out again.

"Soo... Lucas was it? We could stay, beat these guys up and stuff...or Take turns? I know you want to fight. I saw that grin before. Could you maybe hold them off for a second?"

Off came the headphones fully, flipping them around and popping off a panel on the right side ear piece. Frowning, fumbling through her pockets.

"Dead Batteries... You don't mind right?" she smiled as she asked and stated.

And just like that she leaned against the wall of the building, taking her time to scoop out the dead batteries of her headphones and search for fresh ones on her person. Although she could easily fight without them, the song was getting to the best part, no sense in stopping it there. The group of assailants charging as she did so at Lucas. Sukkari glancing up to watch now and then and at times, kicking outwards with a leg now and then to bat away people getting too close. Be they towns folk, pirate or marine. The latter simply giving a thumbs up after landing, the usual floating hearts above their heads.

[Genbu]

"I never said I wasn't, in fact, I offered ta help ya with these rowdy folks." Lukas said, shaking his head as she draped an arm over his shoulders. He raised an eyebrow and looked at her curiously, but as she led them out onto the street. It was honestly a bit crazier outside than inside, and honestly Lukas was a little curious as to how things had gotten so bad? Was there so much tension in this city that a simple brawl somehow turned into this giant mosh pit of combat?

"What in the all blue is...?" Lukas questioned aloud, before he and Sukkari were somewhat surrounded by various armed pirate type people, looking toward the two of them with a bit of angry, though Sukkari got a bit more of the hate than he did. 

And then she offered him up to fight the group first as she did something off to the side, and... well, all eyes where suddenly on him as he was now in front of the group. He let out a bit of a sigh and shook his head, rolling his shoulders a little and tapping his foot on the ground, before slamming his fist into his open palm. "Fine, I could use a bit of an exercise." He said, musing to himself with a bit of a grin. 

He was honestly surprised that there were so many pirates from this crew that managed to escape the Marines, made him wonder just how good the crew she was part of was. The first pirate charged forward, sword held over-head and swinging down, and Lukas stepped forward, chest first, and chest bumped the pirate back and knocking him over. Another Pirate came at him and Lukas just swung his arm at the pirate, striking him in the face with the armored part of the back of his arm, knocking him into another pirate nearby him. 

"I dun mind fightin, but it seems like ya might need to get ya crew to actually catch these guys this time." Lukas said, shaking his head. Another pirate rushed at him and stabbed at Lukas, the armored man using both arms to swing downward and knocking the blade away from him to keep himself safe from, well, stabbing. "Like... how many of these pirates escaped ya?" He asked, punching the pirate who tried to stab him in the stomach, almost lifting the man straight off the ground from the impact.
