The camp was large. It was obvious that this was a pirate camp, there were a bunch of pirates walking around. Leon was lead to a tent, walking in he saw a man standing infront of a map. He had a scar over his face. Leon didn't recognize the man so he guessed that the man wasn't a revolutionary. He was a pirate, he might even be the captain. Leon waited for Rothchild to introduce Leon before he would say anything.

"Captain Dyke. I brought a prospective recruit."

The man known as Captain Dyke looked at Rothchild and smiled. Leon recognized that smile, it was the kind that always showed up when humoring someone. Captain Dyke would thank Rothchild for the news. He looked at Leon and gave a speech about how honored he was that Leon would join their crew. At least to Leon that is what it sounded like, Leon had heard this crap before. So all he could do was nod and try to act like a dense tool. Apparently it must have worked. Dyke told Rothchild to take Leon to the waiting room.

Leon would be taken to another tent. Before he could see what was inside, Rothchild would grab Leon and throw him in the cage inside. Once inside the cage, Leon began to panic. He didn't expect to be captured so quickly. Was his cover blown. Looking around he saw that he wasn't alone. Most of the other people in the cages were other revolutionaries. Leon recognized their faces. At least that was part one. He found where his comrades were. Now all that he had to do was escape.

"Hey, any of you guys can open any locks?"

The other Revolutionaries ignored Leon. If there was a lock picker around they wouldn't be stuck in their cages. Leon sighed. Looks like he would have to wait until the door was opened. That wasn't to big of a problem though. He could at least talk to the revolutionaries and see who exactly wants to escape from this place.

"So dumb question. If there was a way out of here, how many of you would escape?"

"Shut up fish. If there was a way out we'd be gone."

"What if I could get you out?"

"If you could get us out, We will do anything you want."

"Hmm, don't regret those words later."

"Wait so you have a plan?"

Leon ignored the last question and waited for the pirates to come get him.

3 hours later and a few prisoners gone, the lock of Leon's cage was unlocked and the door opened. Without hesitating, Leon threw a punch towards the pirate's gut. The man fell to his knees and began coughing. Leon didn't need the man screaming for help so with a good bit of his strength he would punch the man in the back of his head. His skull would collide with the soft ground as the man lost consciousness. Leon looked at his compatriots who watched with shock as Leon knocked out the jailor. Leon fished the man's pocket for the keys. Within moments he would unlock the other cages. Now that his compatriots were free he would throw them the keys.

"You guys go around and see if you can find other prisoners."

"What about you?"

"I'll cause a distraction and see if I can knock out any downed revs." Leon said with a grin

Without a second thought he ran out of the tent and began causing as much destruction as possible. This was done by grabbing a random pirate and with his fishman strength he began to throw it in the direction of the captain's tent. Nothing was a bigger distraction than a fight with the captain. While he waited for the captain he noticed someone was behind him. It was Rothchild. Leon sighed, he didn't want to fight a famous Revolutionary. Though something told him that fighting him and the captain at the same time would be too much. Leon went into his stance ready for a kumite. Rothchild did the same.

They both moved at the same time. Rothchild threw a punch, his full strength was behind the fist. Leon lifted his guard but Rothchild blew threw his guard with his fist. With a second fist coming Leon instinctively let his spikes out and sucked in air as his body expanded. Rothchild's attack hit it's mark but not without stabbing his hand on the spike at the same time. He howled in pain.

Leon however hadn't even started yet. Deflating he would throw a left straight at Rothchild's jaw. Then he would combo it with an elbow strike. His spike on the elbow was fully extended allowing him to pierce Rothchild's stomach. The attack was so fast and so surprising that Rothchild hit the ground in shock. Leon moved as fast as he could to finish it with a punch straight to the face. Once that was over he would look for one of the revolutionaries he freed. He told them to get Rothchild out of here. Then he would continue with his rampage.

Leon grabbed one of the pirates and began using him at a mace as he went through the camp. That was until a gun shot rang through the camp. Leon felt blood trickle down his arm. He had just been grazed. Looking up he could see captain Dyke looking down on him.

"I don't remember the recruitment process being so brutal. I might need to get rid of Rothchild for this." he said calmly.

Leon jumped to find cover. He didn't think the captain was a marksman. Why couldn't he be a brawler like Leon. This was just going to make his job harder. Leon had to think of a way to attack him without getting shot. He would need to get closer. Picking up one of the dead pirates he would throw him at the captain. Dyke didn't hesitate to shoot down his former comrade's body. That didn't matter though, Leon made his way closer to the pirate as he was to far away to just rush him. Captain Dyke figured out what he was doing as he called for his comrades to attack the fishman and keep him away.

3 other pirates began to run toward Leon. He would side step the first one, tile punch the second one, and kick the third one in the chest. The first one would turn around face Leon and tried to attack him a second time. Leon would grab the pirate and with his spikes piercing them he would use him as a human shield and rush the captain. The captain began shooting on his still living crew member. The bullets whizzed passed the grunt trying to bite at Leon from the sides. Unfortunately none hit their mark as Leon finally closed in on the pirate.

Dropping the pirate he went into melee with the captain. He punched at the captain's face. The captain, within the last moment moved to avoid the fishman's strike. Leon didn't give up though, after his punch had failed he threw a kick towards the Captain's chest. Since the chest was a fixed point the Captain couldn't avoid the blow. With the fishman's superior strength the Captain was knocked back into the tent a few feet away. Though most men would have stayed down Dyke got back up immediately and returned fire at Leon. Leon moved as the bullets whizzed passed his head and grazed his shoulder. Leon rushed to cover once again. He needed to try and get into the range of Dyke and crush him from close range if he wanted to win.

So utilizing his strength he picked up one of the cages that was next to him and threw it at Dyke. Dyke not planning to fall for it again merely attempted to side step. Leon ran around from the other side and struck Dyke in the side with a gut punch. Dyke reeled in pain. Leon didn't hold back, with his spikes all out he began to pound on the pirate until he lost consciousness. Leon got up and took the man's pistols and threw them to one of the Revolutionaries. After a quick scan of the rest of the camp, it was time for them to leave.

Now being pirates they obviously had a ship of their own. So Leon had all of the trapped revolutionaries take their ships and make their way off the island to the meeting point. With the brainwashed revs he would take them through town and put them on the ships they were assigned to. This way the brainwashed revs wouldn't attempt to rebel and escape. It only took them an hour to make it back to town and to drop off the brainwashed rev's with the reinforcements. Once he got them all on the ship he would jump on the ship and relax. Now that it was over, he could relax.
