After words were exchanged and egos were inflated their much resumed after a short breather to cope from their battle wounds. Individual pride on the line and the right to be captain of their would-be ship. One thing was for certain though; there was a mutual respect to be had here among both dirty fighters. She waited patiently for him to stretch, topping herself off with an unfinished mug of beet sitting at the table she leaned against. Goldilocks was in a rather tipsy state but she was convinced that she fought better when she was inebriated. She felt completely recharged after her drink, though she knew that she couldn't take many more hits like that last one; her body was durable but her powers made her vulnerable when they weren't active.
Goldilocks cooed, still having a bit of alcohol left. Although, with Galand hurling a table at her there was no time to finish it right away. Instead of blocking this time around she'd subtly show her flexibility and swiftness. With a huff she'd fancily side step the flung table and its flailing contents with a sly yet acrobatic one-handed backflip. As the table toppled over another, Goldilocks came back to her feet before tilting back and flopping her a** down onto one of the pulled out chairs; all in one fluid motion. She rose a pausing index as up to the one-eyed man and tossed her head back to finish her drink before throwing the empty mug carelessly over her shoulder; the shatter of glass echoing off in the distance.
"Aaah. Alrighty, I'm good."She chuckled.
Without much after the black mist exuded from her person once more. She then stood, latching her slender tips around the back of the chair. With great force she flung it Galand's way. Immediately after this she snagged a dagger on the ground that had been previously discarded by one of the thugs she'd killed prior to their meeting, hopping back to add a couple of extra feet between them before making a dash towards him to take the offensive.

[ This was no joke! No matter how one decided to look at this situation, these two combatants are seriously going at each other, but the audience finds themselves almost entranced. As if their hearts and minds have been captivated by the allure of the exchange, dead set on seeing it out to completion. With the break over and done with, Galand charges to the woman with a table thrown before him, but as the table is casually dodged, and the woman sits back in a seat to finish her drink, he comes to a halt and smirks. “You keep that up and you’ll be pissing ale!” he calls out while charging her as she too comes at him, knife in hand. Seeing it makes him recall what he had done earlier. “That’s right!” he quickly thinks while reaching to his backside, slightly above his bum where he had hidden the two daggers he stole from before, right as he entered the building.
Grabbing hold of them, one for each hand, the two close in on each other, where Galand swings both arms forth horizontally as if to straight out scizzor the woman’s head. “AHAHAHA! COME ON! COME OOOON! LET’S ENJOY THIS!” he roars in his ecstasy. His mind is so dead set focused on fighting that he fails to notice the black smoke like substance returning to the woman’s form, but hell, that’s not something he’d care about anyways. Maybe it can be broken, maybe not, but until then, he’d fight! ]

Pissing ale? That wouldn't be too farfetched considering how terrible the beer was in the first place. So to this statement she'd carelessly shrug her shoulders.
Still, she could feel his passion! Leave it all herein the tavern for her to see! Though at this point just about everyone had either vacated the area or were hidden behind the bartender's table and out of sight; taking passing glances every now and again at the pirates' little scuffle.
It was rare that she came across this breed of spry stupidity but it made her life a little more enjoyable. The pair charged at each other, but the man was just a step faster than her in terms of raw speed. However, that didn't stop her forward motion. She could charge through all of his attacks so as long as she was able to keep a commanding presence over her Devil Fruit; if she got cut like that again it would probably be game over. As his frontal assault came, Goldilocks noticed an opening in his wide swings. Both of their strides were long but she slyly stopped her last step short about half the distance to pivot her slightly crouched body to the left. After dodging Galand's dual-slash she'd make a lunge for his face with her open palm with intent on grabbing it and slamming the man through a table and into the floorboards below.

[ He could feel it. The side of his face scarred and altered due to the Government's tampering on his body, before they tried to burn him alive. The adrenaline and weight of battle presses down on his figure, and the elegant viciousness of his potential ally pressures him from the front. “What a time to be alive!” he says mid slash, only to have both swings miss their target. “Hah?” he questions before a hand reaches out to grab his face. He can react, he knows he can, but if he dodges this… No, screw that, frontal assault! A wide grin crosses his mug as he lets the empty hand get close, and using his speed and strength he’d drop the knife in his left hand. With one fluid motion following the release of his left handed weapon, he’d go to grip the woman’s outstretched arm with all his might.
Assuming the grab follows through, he’d bend backwards while slinging his gripped hand to launch the woman into the air, somewhere close to the ceiling. Due to leaning backwards his back would rest against the table the woman originally probably planned to slam his head into, but now, it acts as a brace to hold him up. His normally concealed right eye stares up to the blue eye above, watching intently on the perfection before it. ]

The lack of dodging in these clashes was profound. It was as if they were trying to see who could get hit the most and keep standing afterward. Of course, Goldy had moved away a few times but that was just intelligent fighting.
She didn't fret when her arm was grabbed. The man's powerful grip had returned around her wrist and while she could've possibly broken away she allowed this turn of events play out after her attack was caught. The leaning man used a surprisingly large amount of upper and lower body strength to lift Goldy off of her feet the way he did. However, he'd had a little bit of help. With slightly bent knees she jumped, using the force from Galand's throw to fling her high into the air; making it appear is though she'd been surprisingly light. The blonde was a slender woman afterall. The table she aimed to drive him through was actually being used as leverage by him, although the dubious pirate aimed to change this. Had Galand not been so focused on her one good eye he'd notice the wide smirk spread across her lips.
As her tall body rose it also rotated in mid-air. Instead of her head slamming against the ceiling of the tavern, it'd been her feet. And in that same, fluid motion, the woman held tight onto her pirate hat, used the momentum from the throw to coil her legs against the ceiling before springing from it. Her body rotated back as if having broken an aerial flip into two segments with a pause against the ceiling at the midway point. Her aim was to stomp her feet down onto both of his shoulder blades with enough force to actually send him through the table, or drive him into the ground, which ever worked. In the very least Goldilocks would at least try to snag the man in between her legs to pin him down.

[ Success! He actually managed to launch the woman up towards the ceiling in hopes of crashing her into it, but that wouldn’t stop HER, it seems! She does some fairly acrobatic flips, resulting in her landing instead of crashing. Galand’s free left hand flexes in the shape of a claw, him clearly feeling the euphoria of battle even more than before now. “You clever little sneak!” he shouts as the woman prepares to lunge back down. He watches as she jets off, waiting for the moment she takes to the air again, knowing now she has no footing. Nothing to use as a base to dodge! “But!” she shouts, alluding to this very fact.
Using that same free hand, he grabs hold of the large round table and lifts it up, doing one fast spin before launching it at the lady. “TABLE FOR ONE!” he shouts, using the disk like furniture piece as a projectile as the woman closes in, but that’s not his objective. Not at all. Using her own tactics, he’d move around her as the table gets close to impact, impeding her view of him or generally anything directly below. With him behind where she’d land now, he’d clench the dagger in his right hand while preparing his left to grab her by the leg, and hopefully slam her right leg, her blind side, and slam her into the ground with his might. “Class...dismissed!” ]

A table? She certainly didn't see that one coming. She couldn't exactly see him but through her one good eye she could see the faintest image of movement rounding about her before it escaped into her blind spot. She braced for impact but it never came. Goldy wasn't sure just what the man was up to but as the table spun through the air she'd reach out to snag its leg just as her own was caught. Again the golden pirate felt the force of his grip around her, this time at closer to her calve. So his aim hadn't been to hit her with the table but to use it as a distraction so he could get around her for a slam? A lovely plan, but Goldy didn't have plans on being taken down just yet.
"Too bad ya failed, mate!"Goldy retorted arrogantly.
If she was going down, she at least planning on taking him with her; trading a one for one. As he started to bring her down she'd twist and swing her upper around; slinging the table with it by its leg like a thunderous backhand that would crash and shatter the table over his thick-skull. If she couldn't properly slam him into the table then she'd just slam the ******** table into him!

[ What a twist! “So you’d go that far?!” he calls out as the woman grabs hold on the table, planning on striking him with it in order to trade blows. Smart. If you’re going to take damage anyways, might as well dish some back out! With his might braced into his legs and arms, Galand would brutally slam the woman into the floorboard as the table heads for his head, but instead of simply letting it strike him, he’d clench the hand holding the knife, his right, and slam it into the furniture in order to shatter it into pieces, with his force obviously overpowering it.
Having successfully slammed the woman, the swordsman flips the knife in the same hand so that it’s facing backwards, and swings his arm down in order to stab it into her gut, with any luck. Though there’s no telling if the woman could even see it coming with all the debris littered about her, and the dust set rising from her location. But Galand knows here she is, after all, he still has a firm grip on her leg. ]

Her attempted smash with the table was thwarted by the force of the man's free fist. Goldy came crashing to the ground, but she more annoyed by her unsuccessful attempt than phased by being pinned at the leg. She scoffed beneath her breath as she could faintly see him lunging forward with his knifed hand towards her through the debris. As the knife came down, her free leg shot up to coil around said arm before he could stab her gut; having had an edge in reach given her long legs and the heeled ends of her boots adding to this length. While the man had amazing power behind his blows, if she stopped him at the joints she didn't think he'd have the endurance to break free. Her leg would managed to grip his shoulder and snake under his arm to complete the lock. At this point they'd both be locked by bindings they couldn't exactly break. Goldilocks sucked at her teeth.
"Hey, hey! Are we fightin' or are we ********'? You could at least treat a lady to dinner first!"She mocked, chuckling. Had she known she'd have a man in between her legs today she would've come better dressed for the occasion.

[ Just how clever was she going to get?! So the slam went through, but now her has to worry about the woman snaking around his arm! “Persistent!” he chimes as he struggles to pull his arm free, but to no avail. After all, pulling too hard could have negative consequences for him. With a smirk, he looks the woman in her eye as the dust clears out. “Just what is it gonna take to make you mine?! Damned woman!” he shouts before releasing her leg and grabbing hold of her face. His hands grips firmly over her mouth and nose while his binded arm is used as a weight, him shifting his body over it to further pin the lady in place. “Give up! You want dinner, then become mine! You want to rampage across the seas, then become mine! You want to destroy the government by my side, then give up! I ain't leavin’ here until I can call you first mate!” his voice roars, further causing confusion between the people.
With his weight shifted on her, through her flesh may not take any direct damage, he’d force the air out her lungs at this rate, and with nothing new coming in from the bindings around her mouth, she’d soon choke out. “YOU. ARE. MINE.” A large grin would cross his face revealing a more sadistic side, but truth be told, he passionately wants her, and if he has anything to say about it, he’d have her. ]

Goldilocks wasn't going down without a fight, or at all for that matter despite her being on the ground.
A mistake was made, but it wasn't her own. One leg had been locked tight around the man's arm, locking the joint and preventing movement of said arm. The other, however, had been locked in the man's grasp; but he'd made the grave mistake of removing this grip for the sake of greed. She kept a Poker face but there was a sinister smirk within her. He wanted her neck but he couldn't have it. And the moment his hand made an attempt for her face, her head instinctively motioned to the side and her newly freed leg shot up and, much like the first, used her edge in length to snake its way over the shoulder and under his arm to lock in place with a grip superior than what his body could guard against properly.
Now that she had both arms Goldy held this odd submission hold and immediately pole vaulted herself up by using her hands as leverage. And in a single, fluid arch she'd go from the ground on top of the man, her legs still locking his arms in place, and she'd use her weight and strength to forcefully push him to the ground with herself on top. Legs gripping the joints of his arms the blonde sat on the man's chest, keeping her threatening hold in which his face would be exposed now."Say it! You're mine! Let me hear you say it!" She roared. A fearsome punch would drive towards the man's exposed chin and mouth to dizzy him and possibly bust his lip. She wanted to hear him say it. She wanted to hear him call her Captain! Then again, if he didn't then she'd just keep punching until he would. She understood his passion and his pride, his obsession with her, but her face was off-limits.
Hell, the last man that put a mark on her face was currently on the ground five marks near the entrance with a bullet in his skull.

[ So she plans to resist all the way to the bitter end. “What a shame.” he says as the woman manages to dodge his grab ever so slightly, and wrap her other leg around his used-to-be free arm. The remaining arm. But no matter. Try as she might, she has no means of overpowering him. With a frustrated frown, Galand’s body begins to shift back forcing him to instinctively stands himself up from his kneeled position as the woman does her damndest to force him down again. “Idiot!” he shouts as he pushes off of his legs while forcing back with his upper half to bring the woman back forward. “What part of give up don’t you understand?!” Angered now, as the woman locked onto his legs falls backwards, he brings up his right knee to smash somewhere around the eye patch woman’s lumbar bone and sacrum.
With her suspended in air, and her legs locked in place, at the angle she’s brought back, her arms likely wouldn’t have anything to grab or press against, as they already smashed the tables and such in the immediate zone. Unless she has a way to both free herself and get away in time from a point blank attack, this would probably hurt. “I’ll BREAK you and FORCE you to come then!” ]

The longer she fought this man, the more she was starting to notice the advantages she had over him. Close combat was probably a bust given his strength. Goldy let him grab her again, that much was certain. Still, he was resisting a little more than she thought so once he lifted himself back up to his feet the woman prepped herself. While it was true that she didn't have any other inorganic tools laying around for her to react with, she'd have the knee itself. And as it rose towards her face she immediately unwrapped her legs from the man's arms, simultaneously bringing her hands up to push off of the knee that came towards her face as leverage, and pole vaulting herself to safety around seven so feet away.
Damn, he talked a lot.
After having been meshed up in such a convoluted position Goldilocks had a better understanding as to how Galand fought. He was sly and had fighting spirit, but he was quite easy to rile up. He could overpower her, but he couldn't actually hurt her in most instances so she had a decent measure of how physically capable he was. The blonde may have to switch her tactics around but this was an odd little stalemate that they were in."I'm flattered that ya want me so bad. I'm surprised that'ya ain't tuckered yerself out yet."She teased. Her single eye doing a quick analysis of her surroundings. Debris of broken tables and chairs, glass, there were still some weapons scattered around. Goldilocks was starting to run out of tricks up her sleeve; she'd need a bigger arsenal. She could keep defending herself but if she couldn't get through then all of this was pointless. From the looks of it, she had the edge in intelligence so she'd just have to use her wit to think something up. There was a hint in her mind, a rough idea, but maybe she could transform it into something masterful!
Although, there had to be some way to speed up this process.
The thinker thought and thunk up a solution -- her mind had struck gold. Her lips curved into a smirk as swiped a tuft of curly golden locks away from her patched eye."Since either of us are willin' to give in we could be here all night. So how 'bout next person ta hurt the other wins?"The woman proposed. It was about high-time they ended this little game of theirs, she was starting to get hungry.

[ It would have been so easy. So easy to just take her down again, but that would be no fun. This kind of fight, grappling and wriggling around in a dust cloud struggle like some old times cartoon just doesn’t work for Galand. He places his left hand on the side of his neck before rotating his head around a couple of times. “Who’d be tired from somethin’ like this. We haven’t even gotten started yet. Hell, we barely even fought yet.” He replies, his eyes showing a bit of laziness of boredom. After the woman takes time to glance around, he does the same. Although, this is all stuff he recognized earlier, which is why he could scrap the way he did. Know ye surroundings, or something to that end. Regardless, with the two finally separated again, the swordsman takes the time to wind his arms and focus his breathing once more, clearing his head. No reason to get riled up after all. At this rate, he really COULD go all night, and if that’s what it takes, he’d do it.
He stares at the blonde as the tosses him her proposition for an end to this little match, but he shows no interest. He told her what he meant, and he meant what he said. “The next one to hurt the other, huh. You think I’m stupid? You can just turn on that annoying black stuff, while I’m exposed. With all the crap littered about, even if you’re weaponless as you are, you still have a chance to harm me.” He tilts back his right foot and taps the end of his geisha on the floorboard before firmly planting the same foot back down. His right hand tosses the knife in its grasp to the left, before reaching over his back and grabbing hold of the large great-nodachi type meitou’s hilt. “If you want to end this so bad, then we’re doing it the right hard way. I’m making you my first mate the hard way, so it has purpose. I’ll show you who is on top. That’s the only way.” After unsheathing the blade, he rests it over his shoulder, prepared to assault. “Last chance. Give up.” ]

The unsheathing of his second blade. It had a nice shine to it. A pretty little thing all the while Goldilocks was just some unarmed woman with one eye; talk about a handicap. Yet he complained about her mist, her only defense. She snickered from his words, maybe he wasn't as stupid as she thought; still, she would persist."Alrighty then..."She called. With a shrug of her shoulders the woman cooed before opening her arms wide and dispersing the black mist, leaving her exposed."Either way, we're teamin' up at this point, yah? Faster we figure out whose Cap'n of this ship the faster we can make the world bow before us. I ain't givin' up, but how bout last hit wins? C'mon mate, I'm even leavin' meself open fer ya."She counter-offered.
Really, Goldy was trying to speed things up but it didn't mean she had plans of serving under him. As fun as fighting this man was, she wanted to drink more, grab a couple wenches, and sail on out of here; the place was too torn down to have anything of value here.
