First mission was helping repair a destroyed island. Completely destroyed, a fruit user's doing most likely, the last remaining remnants was a mountain. So Lorenzo was having a hard time wondering how exactly they would repair such destruction. Another devil fruit user was the answer, the lieutenant in charge Shavo, he held the Doro Doro no Mi which when translated stood for Dirt Dirt Fruit. It certainty wasn't something he had seen in the past 51 years of his life, an entire island just being reborn just like that. Then came the replanting of trees and wildlife, not replanting the wildlife that would just be weird. Climbing on board the deck, Lorenzo saw a two of marines being given orders and roles they had to do for the repairs. When the lieutenant spotted the oddly dressed marine, Lorenzo, he quickly dismissed everyone to their roles except for he and motioned him up front. "That is not the proper marine uniform. You may be young and new here but that does not allow you to do whatever you want. We are order, and should look the part." Shavo would say adjusting his uniform to look more proper. Lorenzo raised an eyebrow, he had never been good at following orders and you know what they say. You can't teach an old dog new tricks. "I'm actually 51 years old. But order can have individuality as well. There isn't any rules about wearing non-marine outfits. As long as I have my badge and responder snail in case of alarms. I'm all good in the hood homie." Lorenzo said trying to sound young and hip. Seeing how most of the chore boys in the ship were very young. Probably been wanting to become a marine their entire life while he just decided to do when some marines had arrived at his home asking for him to join. He wasn't a known bull fighter in his town and they saw that as a decent amount of experience to be a marine. They needed strong people after all especially with attacks being more frequent after the Torino fiasco. Marines weren't exactly looking good after that. So he decided that maybe helping out his community would be a honorable thing to do. Been a while since he had gotten in a good fight. Back in the real world the lieutenant had pulled out a regulation notebook trying to check if what he had said about it not being against the rules was true. And what do you know Lorenzo was telling the truth. The higher up sighed but simply gave the chore boy his job and went on his way. Lorenzo gladly helped with the repairs before heading back towards the ship as they headed off to repair other places. (Reconstructing Ocean's Naval 400/400)
It seemed they had ended up back where they started, of course it was hard to tell with all the heavy reconstruction going on at the moment. He had remembered the place being a lot more lively and whole than it currently was. It seemed Michelle's so called bodyguard had done a number on the territory she had claimed, so much for friendliness between employer and employee. Still it was none of his business and he didn't much care for the area personally, he just watched on in mild disgust as everyone worked themselves to the bone, not really able to comprehend why they would want to try so hard at something. Watching the crowd of villagers and marines work together and coincide was a little hard on the eyes, the labor being done was making him tired just by watching it. "At least you've got the marines doing all the hard work here." he chimed in to Michelle with a yawn, his eyelids looking heavier than ever. Since they had been traveling together all he had really done was sleep and rest, adding a quip here and there about their current predicament. At least with someone as listless as Eun Jae the woman didn't have to worry about him going out of his way to destroy her property or thieve from her. The lazy swordsman sat himself down on a nearby pile of rubble and laid his body across it, letting the back of his head rest on his arms as he stared up to the sky. They had been moving around a lot lately, Eun Jae was secretly hoping they would remain ported for awhile so he could finally catch some sleep on dry land. It seemed traveling with others had its perks as well as its downfalls, not that he was too worried though, Michelle was particularly easy to travel with and she seemed to be good at heart despite the chaos she could bring down upon people, some pirates weren't all rotten, or at least not all the way to the core. Then again, Eun Jae supposed he was a pirate now too whether he liked it or not, he was carrying a small bounty, likely had his beautiful face plastered on wanted posters in surrounding areas, it was a strange feeling for him. He only prayed it didn't bring forth more work in the future, running away, or fighting his way out of conflict with marines sounded arduous.
After having finished up with her assistance back at Yoyo Island, Meiling turned her ship back to check in on how things were going back at the Ocean's Naval. Once again her undersized vessel would be tied off to the docks as she 'parked' her boat still and headed back into town. Once there she'd look around for the workers she knew from the previous day's work. Things were going well but not entirely completed. So as before, she'd happily offer her assistance again. In no time at all she'd be carrying over stacked piles of wood and bricks back and forth like it was nothing.

-------- She had left. Michelle had made sure to watch her leave. It wasn't over. Marines weren't the type to just leave, they looked over their work and destroyed. The way things worked for Michelle, she had a few mindsets about this bottom world. Marines were animals inside and out. They killed and they caged from what she had first saw those many moons ago. As for the people down below? They were corruptible and lazy. She wasn't a fan, but she felt dirty for even attempting to want to return home. She felt burdened, but right now she let her mind drift. She looked to the people who had fixed her situation, and the people who looked to her. She said nothing to them, she cared not for their mindset, she cared for their work ethic. They would build her winery! "I have come to find that when you give people a push, they will act." She said back to Eun-Jae. "Money? Fear? Power? All factors that push..." Her words falling silent as she began to walk. "Make sure I don't go to jail today" Her final words to the man as her feet carried her. --------"Hmm" A hum of hesitation. She knew what she was about to do, but the purpose. I am afraid of children...A child! She thought to herself as the image of the child throwing the chair at Thaddeus, and then the dog killing Armadis. She needed it to be over. She needed to stand on her own two feet and basically do something about it. This wouldn't be the case anymore! She no longer had to be like this. "Hello" Her voice a slight cheer. "I saw what you did with this location! Fine work" A smile as she paused, inflating the ego of the marine. "It must be such a bother having to deal with,,,Such...Actions" Her blood boiling. She was trying her best, but she couldn't let it be so simple. "Would you just mind if you just left me..."Her right foot the most forward."Congratulate....You! For a job well done!" her foot shooting forward, aimed to strike deep into her abdomen. She would be Michelle's catharsis. ooc:
Still laying down against the small pile of rubble Eun Jae had barely moved a muscle, only nodding in slight compliance as Michelle told him not to let her go to to jail this day, she was clearly up to something but he wanted no part in it. He would only jump in if her life was in danger or if she were being hauled off to prison. He was simply a bystander, a watchful eye to everything unfolding. Michelle seemed to be letting out some pent up aggression although it wasn't very healthy. Letting a kick out toward the stomach of the young lady who had been helping rebuild, it seemed a little unfair in his eyes. Besides this woman had done nothing but try to help reconstruct Michelle's destroyed winery and the village she had claimed for herself. "Try to make this quick, I want to get back to the ship and sleep." he shouted to the pair of women before closing his eyes. This place was gathering a lot of attention now and Eun Jae wanted no part in it, the more serious things got here the sooner he'd be tracked down by his nuisance of a sister. He couldn't afford getting captured here either, lest his sister try to convince him to return home, or take up an honest and more just living. The very thought brought a shiver down his spine. Even though his eyes were closed his hands were positioned cautiously, one tucked inside of his loose robes and another brushing the hilt of his blade, ready to strike out at a moments notice. Traveling with Michelle had been a blessing and a curse thus far, she was constantly on the move and going out of her way to spread mayhem which was beginning to wear Eun Jae down, however he could truthfully say that there had yet to be a dull moment at her side, she was confident and strong in her own way, she used both to her advantage."Try not to kill each other, don't make me intervene or I'll be forced to strike both of you down." he cautioned, although Eun Jae was no killer, if he were to get in between the two of them he'd likely attempt to knock them unconscious and safely remove them from the fight before things got too hairy. One eyelid lifted lazily as he watched the fight begin, he was mildly interested and wanted to see what Michelle was capable of. Plus he wanted to know just what they were up against, as he knew looks could be deceiving. Many underestimated him because his femininity and soft features and they all ended up regretting it. Eun Jae would never be caught underestimating his opponent, if he were to fight it'd be done without him holding anything back, totally unleashed.
Ordinarily, one might expect a 'thank you' or a pat on the back for their 'congratulations' when helping with repairs of a recently destroyed town. Such wouldn't be the case as Meiling was greeted by a rather beautiful maiden as she was heading off to get the next batch of bricks and mortar. In fact she was met with a 'pleasant' speech followed by a sudden kick aimed for her abdomen. If not for the raised leg warning, the redhead's left knee might not have snapped up in time to take the force of the kick. reducing the impact, Meiling would land a few steps back, left leg behind her and her right foot forwards as she instinctively went into a proper combat stance, arms raised, hands formed into open palms as she looked at the other woman. "W-Who are you, and why the heck are you attacking me!?"
Abilities Basic Blocking: Defends against an attack with 1/2 the user's Endurance when not using a proper technique. [Defense of 75]
Summary Meiling intercepted the kick with her knee, taking [25] points of damage and assumed a proper combat stance.

-------- Fire, Anger, Ambition. These were the three things that guided her kick. She was blinded by these three things, for she wanted to destroy. She wanted it all to crumble. She was becoming something she couldn't recognize, nor understand. The problem was that she didn't want to understand. The red head had blocked her kick, and all Michelle saw were sparks. She had guarded with her own knee, something that could easily be expected from someone who had perception. The girl was sent back from the kick, Michelle heaving. The fire burned in her eyes Michelle's body shaking. She's innocent...This is foolish Michelle thought to herself, but her body took off. She charged, an unstopping force. She wasn't going to stop just because she seemed to not know. She knows. There are no innocents! Michelle thought as she came into close range of the girl. Her leg turned, aiming for the girls stomach once more. She was going to kick her stomach in over and over and make her crawl. One kick for her stomach, then another three, her feet picking up the pace as she moved. She was going to push this girl back, push her into the docks and into the water. Would she drown her? Would she end her? She was told to avoid the water, and yet..."Repair this place sure! What's next! Kill someone who steps out of line after?!" She shouted after her last kick. She would pay for her marinehood. They all would! -------- ooc:
With not so much for an answer, the other woman moved forwards. Rushing at her as she continued to kick at her midsection with a fire in her eyes. Meiling had no idea what was going through the woman's head right now but she certainly wasn't going to just let herself be attacked like that. After the first kick, Meiling would shift back by shifting her legs back, alternating her forward foot, only to continue as the kicks did so as well. After a few of those kicks, Meiling decided to counter now. In time with when her right leg was back in her stance, she narrowed her eyes and performed a kick of her own, swinging her right leg around at full strength to collide with the mystery woman's own. The legs would clash at the shins and thanks to the garments of both involved, there would be a bit of accidental flashing involved while their legs clashed together. Thankfully Meiling was looking at the girl's face while she yelled at her instead. "What are you even talking about!?"
Summary Meiling kicked Michelle's kick with more Strength than Michelle which should overpower hers and deal [150] points of damage to the Angel.

-------- She was strong! Had Michelle made a mistake? It was foolish of her to try and match strength, but Michelle wasn't on the clear end. She could defend, but that didn't mean she could fight. There she was, playing defensive, and yet when their legs met, Michelle's stung. The sound of their feet clashing made a large boom, Michelle pushing off from the girl. Michelle flipped backwards, sliding across the Dock as she looked to her opponent. Her eyes gleamed with disappointment as well as anger. Both carried for herself, being angry she was weak to every marine she fought, as well as being disappointed in her fighting ability. How many fights had she been in? Was her feet not strong enough?! She charged forward again, shouting as her spirit filled her body, covering her legs, adding to their kicking power. "Your people look good, helping everyone when it's convenient, then when someone steps out of line, you kill them! You throw tables! You're worthless!" She shouted, a kick aimed for the girls knee, only to stop Michelle pivoting on her left foot to spin her body and kick for the woman's neck. The fire continued to gleam in her eyes. She needed to connect! -------- ooc: Buso used. +50 to str.
The clash of legs was indeed impressive and many of the people heard the sound it made and started to watch them from the town. There was also a handful of whistles at the 'cat fight' and the show of shapely legs only added to it. The woman had disengaged first, leaping back as Meiling could tell she had dealt at least a little more damage with the clash, letting her assume she had to be somewhat stronger in terms of raw strength. But she had no intention of assuming the advantage was hers just yet as she put her leg back down, the right foot forwards and her torso facing left as the girl rushed her.
'Your people'...? The redhead blinked a few times, not even sure at what what this woman had meant by that. She had no living blood relatives she herself knew about and she wasn't a member of any sort of organization either. But the fight at hand itself was a bit more important given that she was being attacked. First came a front kick for her forward braced knee, only to have it stop, drop, and roll and pivot as her other leg came spinning about at her neck instead! She had only a moment to respond as Meiling used her left hand and thrust it over her front to catch the kick and soften the blow but it still hurt. In fact her leg felt harder than before. Haki...? She then pushed the leg away and to her right, stepping forwards with her left foot as she returned an open palm strike to the girl's midsection with her right hand. "I haven't killed anyone!"
Abilities Basic Blocking: Defends against an attack with 1/2 the user's Endurance when not using a proper technique. [Defense of 75]
Summary Meiling blocked the attack, taking [75] points of damage and pushed the leg off herself, following up by stepping in closer to Michelle's body to palm strike her stomach for [150] points of damage.

-------- They had gained an audience. Part of her knew she was the bad guy and not well accepted here. She had forced the people to make a winery for her, and now she was attacking people in the streets. She needed to gain a hold of herself, but she continued on. She cared not for the people calling for the fight, wanting to see two woman go at it. The people of this world, this downward lesser world deserved nothing! They knew nothing! All she knew was that this girl was well versed in the way of the combat. She could tell the girl was fairly strong, but with her spirit, she could keep up, hopefully. -------- The two were in range of each other, speed and strength wise. Mei had natural strength, which Michelle couldn't keep up with for long. She had to play it smart, but that's something someone could do if they had their head on straight. All Michelle knew was fight! Push forward and make someone pay for what the others had done. Forward came Mei's hand, open palm to punch her. Mei had pushed Michelle's foot away, and with that, Michelle pivoted on her foot, turning to kick at Mei's neck once again. With the way she had been pushed off, the goal was that even if she took the punch to her chest, with her speed, she would connect with Mei's neck, kicking her away from Michelle, off the dock or somewhat away from Michelle in general. "Yet! You haven't killed yet!" Michelle responded to the woman in-front of her. They were all bound to kill eventually. If they didn't do it now, it would be done sometime down the road. ooc: Buso used. +50 to str. Isn't damage true damage now? Doesn't go through defense, just straight true damage?
Meiling would push forwards with her open right palm to try and force her opponent back a few steps. Her attempt to knock away her enemy's attack seemed to work as she was more focused on her own followup attack. Michelle's leg would finally connect at the same time as Meiling's attack, smashing into Meiling's neck from above as it would force the girl to bend down with the force but her leg stance did not break. She'd bend down from the force of the attack, feeling the force through her body. She definitely felt the buso reinforced attack that time. If that was the case, she'd start to return the favor. Meiling snapped herself back upright again with a soft pant, ready to keep going. They both hit hard as hell but she was ready to counter the next attack her opponent made. "I do not intend to kill anyone ever!"
Summary Meiling took the kick for [150] points of damage but held her stance and returned to a proper combat ready position.

you should have 25 less spirit since you need to pay each post for the buso.

-------- Spit flew from her mouth as she was impacted with the hit from the red head. She had not taken the hit without dealing damage though, and even though the world swayed for just a moment, she had indeed kicked the girl in the neck. Michelle took a moment to gain back her bearings, listening to the girl as she shouted her nonsense. Michelle stared, fire burning in her eyes. There was a short distance between them now due to Michelle staggering back. Eight feet, a small distance for the both of them. Any fool could see that this girl was just confused, being attacked for no reason in the streets, but the people cheered. Some still sided with MIchelle even after the takeover of their city. They were loyal, but the others wanted the redhead to win. Michelle stretched, sighing as she looked at the woman. "Not now. Soon, you will become like the rest of them. You take pride in doing the so called right thing but if someone steps in your way, you end them. I've seen the terrors of your people! Michelle shouted at her opponent. She rushed forward, going for a forward punch only to stop midway, bending to the floor fully to sweep the legs of the red head. With her eyes still glaring she shouted: "I've seen the terrors of the marines!" -------- ooc: Buso used. +50 to str. Can we revive the guild!?
