Rumours spread around town that the upcoming ragtag group that goes by the name of the White Lotus were looking for a pirate crew to team up with. Hearing about the strength of Vega’s crew, the East Blue Natives ascended through the Redline, travelling towards Jaya. After arriving, the Lotus Members realised that their power was inferior to other factions attempting to gain Vega’s interest, which brings us with the present context. Three years later, during Junbei’s arrival the five man gang heard rumours of Junbei's conflicts with Captain Vincent, Charlotte The Amazon and even rumours of a potential square off between Junbei and Kipp. On the night of Kipp's take over, aside from Asher and Junbei going wild in a city, another band joined into the fray.

"Coming up on your end boss." the youngest brother Iley reported, staring through the scope of his rifle's make. Five pirates who were under Kipp's reign, chased after the youngest of the White Lotus members, Bust. Turning the corner at the top of the strip he was running on, Bust sprung his body around the left corner, drawing his rifle from a barrel, that was located at the designated point. As the five men turned the corner, each of them where met with a series of ten gunshots from the other two members of the Lotus White Lotus Group, Hiro and Hennessy.  The boss of the pack, Jacob emerged, resting his pistol on his shoulder, whistling to Iley to come off of the ceiling. "Nice job. That's the fifteen hit today, brings us to a total of thirty." Jacob stated.

"More like thirty-two, don't forget the brothers who were breaking into the local brothel." Iley said with disgust. Shoving his shoulder into the man's side, "I bet those gals were all too grateful to ya' ain't it, Iley." Hiro said laughing, whistling as he taunted Iley. Iley's ginger hair with his blushed face made him look like a brazen raddish. "Idiot! Don't you know any deliciously." Iley exclaimed. "You mean delicacy?" Hiro said, breaking into laughter again. "I'mma shoot yer-" Iley said reaching for his rifle but he was stopped short, "Enough you two, we still got work to be done. I don't know what these idiots are planning to pull off with this midnight raid but I'm not going to let our only chance to impress Vega to go missing." Jacob said.

Running through the city, Junbei spun his tonfa, wiping out all of the Kipp Pirate member who were raiding the town. A message was sent out into Kipp's chain of command to detain the unknown at the time and now known, Junbei from wiping out their main forces who simply act as controlling pawns in Kipp's suppression of forces plan. Sitting in a high end establishment known as the Red Carpet Pub. Subduing the pub's owner, Holly, Kipp grinned from ear to ear as the woman's face was pressed against his boot. "I can't believe this night would come so early. I feel uneasy." Kipp stated, further crushing his foot against Holly's jaw. "I knew it'd have to come back and give you a little loving, knowing that your an executive in Allure afterall." the man said grinning, spitting onto the floor beneath him and eye-level to the woman.

"I knew it all along! You were using our information to spy on Vega's actions. You picked the one time his main forces were nowhere to be found and then this! This is against our code, Kipp. Then again, at your current stage, your doing this all out of your selfish desires." the woman said angrily, spitting out blood onto the man's pants, trying to free herself, turning onto her back. "Don't be so cold. You were the one who told me the organisation doesn't allow to be a member any longer than two years right?" Kipp said exclaiming playfully.

Back in the city, the White Lotus gang ran into a pack of Kipp's men, running the opposite direction of their current location. The men had a frantic look on their eyes, some drenched in sweat, others talking much louder than normal, as if they had problems hearing each other. Walking up the pack, Iley placed his hand on one of the men's shoulder's, asking about what was going on, though his attempt was merely to hold the member hostage for more information on Kipp's inner working. However, the man only screamed 'run', with blood dripping from his ears, he couldn't hear a single word Iley had ask him. A pulsation of red waves could seen approaching all of those who were within the street corner, the pirates had just dashed from. A pile of bodies, the prior deceased firing shots only to be pushed back, and passing out screaming.

Emerging from the street corner was Junbei, tonfa in hand spinning. Looking towards the White Lotus members, only fear filled their eyes. Junbei walked towards there direction, the men each loaded their rifles as the other pirates ran away in fear. Flickering through the patterns of sound that filled the air from the men's beating hearts, Junbei appeared within the circle of the men's formation, slamming his Sokumen against the wrists of each man, disarming them before they could even blink. "I have one question for you guys, answer truthfully." Junbei stated. Swallowing heavily, the men's nerves shot through the ceiling.

"Are you guys members of Kipp's crew?" Junbei inquired. All of the men instantly shook their heads in disapproval. "Good." Junbei dropped onto the floor. "I'm starving..." the man exclaimed, leaving all of the members within the group perplexed.

"Who in the world is this brat?" the men all thought among themselves. Iley shrugged as Jacob looked at him. Iley was the information expert within the group, he'd memorised the faces of every single pirate with at least 50,000,000 on his head, hence, he knew most of the pirates in Paradise that where big-time players. Examining Junbei's face, he was familiar so even with Jacob's usual glare for information, he couldn't say much. "I don't even know what those brats were running from but whoever did that to them, left this kid and them in a ragged state." Jacob said, pointing at Junbei's clothes which seemed to be ragged from bullet wounds and sword cuts. "So what's the plan boss?" Hiro inquired. "We take him. I don't know what his affiliation is with those men but if he's one of Kipp's, we can use him as extra coin when we get his head." Jacob said smiling.

Strapping Junbei into a series of ropes, the largest of the group, Bust, strapped the musician to his back like a pack back type manner. As the men continued through the city, they made it to Kipp's alleged location, the Red Carpet Inn. Giving the signal, Jacob stayed to the pub's front with the thirty crew members he'd wrangled up, laying Junbei against the mix. Bust, Iley and Hiro advanced around the perimeter of the pub, peering through the window to pinpoint the man's current position. Hennessy broke through the back of the pub by picking the lot, using his pocket knife to slit the throats of two guards at the back. Jacob fired a single shot into the sky, "OI! Kipp! You might wanna come outside!" Jacob announced grinning. The force of the gunshot awoke the slumbering crew members, including Junbei.  

The man's attention shifted from the beaten and battered Holly, standing up from the bar stool, the man downed the last swigs of whiskey on the table. Grabbing his sword, Otomi, Kipp exited the pub to see large volumes of his men rounded up in a circle. "Boss!" the men exclaimed. Sighing, "You guys are pathetic... How in the world did you manage to get rounded up in a pathetic state like this?"Kipp inquired laughing. "You gotta a lot of nerve planning an invasion on Vega's turf punk." Jacob exclaimed grinning. "Ohoho... You're one of Vega's men are ya?" Kipp inquired. "No... but once we get your head we will be." Jacob said boldly. "Maggots won't ever be more than maggots." Kipp said, accelerating in a blur, the man cut free all of his men chained in ropes in an instance.

Shaking off the ropes, scratching the burns from the rope plastered across his body, Junbei returned to his feet, cracking his neck. Reaching under his cloak, Junbei revealed his tonfa's, spinning them to obtain concentration. Smiling, "It's funny how the world works out... I was looking all over for you." Junbei stated. "Really now... I've never seen you a day in my life though... Rude of you to know who I am but I don't know who you are?" Kipp said, not impressed by Junbei's declaration. Ceasing his spinning, Junbei raised his left tonfa towards the man, "I'm here for Charlotte's sake." the man declared. Bursting through the back door, Hennessy drew his rifle, aiming at Kipp's back, while from the side, Iley, Bust and Hiro emerge from the corners, each taking head shot aims towards Kipp.

Drawing Otomi from it's sheath, it's glow mesmerized everyone's in it's presence. The blade gave off a creepy glow, a miasma began to leak from it as well, both crimson in their color. In an instant, each of the men who'd pointed their pistols at Kipp were laying on the ground, clutching their shoulders in pain from the gigantic blade wound. Looking at this shoulder, Junbei couldn't pick the movement of what had just happened but he created distanced between himself and Kipp. "Push" Kipp uttered, all of those cut by Otomi's blade magically disappeared. "Have fun on your journey through Jaya men, hehe." Kipp said laughing. "Oi! The rest of you keep looting! We'll move all the treasure to the Warehouse as planned and as soon as the sun rise it'll be stage two of our plan!" Kipp declared sheathing his katana.

Being pushed through a weird portal structure, Junbei's body zig-zagged from side to side in a weird space, only to arrive at the center of Mock Town, where Charlotte, Mercy and Genga stood. Meanwhile, the White Lotus Crew was pushed much further, on the outskirts of Mock Town, all of them located by the town's entrance. There rifles damaged, Jacob walked around to the other members of the team, inspecting their wounds, trying to assess the situation on what had just transpired."The rumors were right about that man Kipp, his blade Otomi possesses the ability to transport objects through time and space it seems." Jacob said pondering. "He might be out of our league... He totally man handled us." Hiro said punching the floor. "Wait. Where did the brat with the tonfa go?" Iley pondered, searching around himself. "He blocked the slash partially with his tonfa, so it didn't push him as far." Hennessy said. "I saw it from my position, that kid's eyes... There the eyes of a hunter. One whose completely dominated Hennessy in the past." Hennessy said sweating.
