End - Arc Task :

A few things to note. Forty-Nine Vessels have been submerging towards Fishman Island. Our Post picks up from the 50M Mark away from the Island. Because of the shear size of Bona, you can only enter by docking at the Front Entrance. The task ends when Kain and Abel have been defeated, happy hunting.

Note: Bubble Coat device is valid from last event from up to two usages. So if you grabbed two, you can encase yourself into a bubble coat that withstands Tier 3 Damage one time, any damage after it bursts. Mobility is lessen by - 1 Speed and it's good for at least three posts.

"We're approaching the Island, Triton." the Merman Navigator conveyed via Den Den Mushi to the King of Atlantis, Triton. The hue of the Forty-Nine Vessels hovered above Fishman Island like balls of lights, more so lanterns soaring towards Oceanus Turf. Each vessel was around sixty meters in length and thirty-three meters in width, coated with the finest in Bubble Coating Technology. The Coating could withstand most attacks and could only be broken from the outside, this was to insure that even if spies had made it onto the vessel, the least damage they could've done was taken control of a ship in the fleet. The seas were calm, as before all major disasters, before the chaos ensued. Triton had no more orders or debriefings or commands on how to attack, instructions were simple, locate Oceanus Commanding Officers and take their heads. At least then that'd give Triton Time to negotiate with the Monarchy of Thonis.

The Coating on the vessel had a elasticity to them, they could withstand a tier 5 strike exactly one time, and any thing lesser than up to three times. If it'd sustain more than two lesser strikes, a stronger blow would end the craft instantly. This danger became very apparent, when in the distance, a large scaly snake like beast coiled around the outskirts of Fishman Island. Around 100 Meters in length, with enough girth that vessel could dock on it's topside, if it could withstand it's powerful strokes through the water that is. Rearing it's head, majestically gliding through the water, it's girth blocked the Front Entrance into Fishman Island. This was the challengers first task, clear a pathway for the vessels to dock behind the Huge Leviathan's Body. The beast head would be around seven to eight meters in size, gawking at the vessels as they sunk towards him, opening his mouth, Bona would begin to suction water inward, filling most of his gut and jaws with water. Once reaching capacity, Bona would throw up the collected water, firing off in the form of a Super Charged Water Beam. The Beam would break into the centre of the Fleet, pushing at least twenty of the vessels back 30 Meters.

Significant damage would've been done to these ships, they wouldn't be able to withstand another hit, however, they'd live to see another day. Bona would then suction in water and repeat the process to keep the ships at bay, eventually sinking them to a watery doom. If any of the vessel however, manage to make it past the 45 Meter point, they'd then engage in close combat with the monster, at this point, he'd remove his in circulation from around Fishman Island and lunge towards all of the vessels, attempting vice grip each vessel with a section of his body and squeezing tightly at tier 5 strengths eventually popping the coating like pods on a sheet of Bubble Wrap. To add to this, a force of Flying Fishmen would depart moments before Bona's first beam was fired off. Approaching from the East and West of these vessels, a force of three hundred Fishmen, fifty with Mounted Flying Fish (T1) and another two-hundred and fifty(T1) swimming through the water would attempt to dock onto the vessel out of Bona's range or in the future stance, the ones not being coiled, and engage in combat.


"Shouldn't we go and meet them Brother?" Cain inquired. "We could." Abel responded. "However, what'd be the fun in that?" Abel stated. "This our home court advantage... Why waste our energy... Besides... if he's truly among them... This shouldn't be much for them to handle." Abel concluded. "You have too high hopes for these Songbirds brother... We've all seen flashes in the frying pan before... Wallace... Fiona... As representatives of Oceanus... We should greet them promptly." Cain stated. "That's why I've sent Bona to play with them. The whole lot of them are Devil Fruit Users... They might drown before they even get to the 'starting line.'" Cain said, chuckling. "Even if they do-" Abel chimed in immediately after, "We have armies stationed at every point before the Plaza. Even if Ren and Luso failed us... Our forces are still as strong as ever." Abel concluded. "I must thank that fool Tenzen... If I see him. Thanks to his random act of killing the Prince of Thonis, due to my marriage to the Princess... Immediately became King of Fishman Island in masters steed." Cain said, laughing heartedly. "And when Tidus got caught... We garnered even more excuses to murder humans... I guess we owe that to the Songbirds." Abel stated. "Hmm..." both brothers exclaimed. "Maybe we should keep them all as pets." they both concluded.

Most of the time, Lin was perfectly happy with what she had. She was confident in her strength, and her years of training and special abilities gave her everything and more she could ask for in sating her thirst for physical contests. This time however she possessed one liability that hindered her from literally and figuratively just diving into the fray versus the enemy force that confronted them. There was a Sea King up ahead blocking the sole entrance to Fishman Island and multitudes of forces coming from the sides. Meanwhile she couldn't do anything but stay on the deck because she was unable to swim. It was such a pain, but it couldn't be helped.

The helmsman on the ship they were on was doing his best to stay calm and keep the boat steady after that blast from the Sea King. They were quite some distance from the ships that got hit directly but the blast did send a few ripples to rock them a bit. The obvious course was not to engage from the front unless they wanted to get wrecked by the beams of water. The serpentine creature was curled up around the entrance now as though protecting it, but there was no telling when it would decide to come out and attack the ships directly. They ought to use this opportunity then to get to a better position for battle. Fortunately the Atlantean officers of the ship were competent. Somewhere out there, the officer calling the shots for the fleet ordered the boats to fan out and encircle the sea beast. That way even if it fired more of its beams, it would only catch one or maybe two at best. The rest was up to luck. For now they maintained a distance of a hundred or so meters from the creature. It was hardly safe as the beam had a range of several hundred meters, but there was no getting around that. They couldn't help it anyway. By now the flying fish troops had engaged the outer ships. The one Lin was on was also under attack. Someone else would have to deal with the Sea King and get close to it.

As the enemy Fishmen arrived en masse, the fighting had begun. These were the grunts of the enemy so they weren't much of a threat, but their sheer numbers served to disrupt the operations. Lin was still on the deck near the rails as she had been ever since they set sail from Atlantis, making her literally at the spearhead of the fighting on the ship.

Speed was not her best asset, but for these men, it was plenty. She thought, as one of them attempted to take her head with a swing of his sword. She ducked out of the way relatively easily and sent him flying into a group of his friends with a powerful palm strike at his unguarded chest. While it was chaos at the deck of the ship, she spotted a group of enemies trying to go after the helmsman of the vessel. They were going to be sitting ducks without a pilot so she had to do something about that.

As she made her way to the helm, another enemy Fishman tried to skewer her with a harpoon but she avoided it just fine and yanked the weapon off his hands before he could swing it around again. After kicking him to the side to knock him out, she turned in the direction of the Fishmen going after the helmsman and threw the harpoon with all of her might. She was about twenty meters away but didn't really need to be that good of a shot as her targets were almost bunched up in a group. The harpoon managed to pierce through at least three of them before losing momentum. The rest scattered in fear that they might get hit next.

As the fighting continued, it would soon become evident that this level of forces was just no match for the volunteers that were were recruited for the war in Atlantis. They would be easily taken cared of if they got on any ships. There were just really so many of them and they were persistent. If the ship did manage to break away though, the real problem at this point was getting the fleet past the Sea King. Thankfully, the fact that her ship was being attacked meant it wasn't on the beast's radar just yet. She assumed it wouldn't attack its allies while they were present. She hoped she wasn't wrong.

the Flashback:

The frog had been much quieter than usual, every now and again, Nico and the frog would exchange some strange glances, yet the Amphibian had not cooled down at being called a murderer, the two of them had been poisoned, it came down to Octavia and the frog or Bojack and the enemies, she had chosen right that is for sure. Deep in thought the Amphibian wouldn't even realize what was actually going on in the current state of affairs, not until Junbei began his song. Though right now music was the last thing the frog wished to hear. "i guess we are close" the amphibian would say softly as he looked to their destination. They would deliver yet another decisive blow against Oceanus, while Wani the beautifully large Croc would protect them from the sea king. A creature that the frog had seen many times, yet never had the pleasure of battling. Of course they would have to first find a way to do battle without breaking their coatings, and would have to not get swallowed by the sea. "This is certainly going to be a test of ability, Im not entirely sure how helpful a close range fighter like me will be" he said, though mostly to himself, due to the fact he was refusing to speak to any of the songbirds bar Octavia. Acting like a slightly immature child.

'Okay, this was unexpected.' Tenzen would think to himself as he steered his ship. Why he was doing this instead of allowing someone else, like others did, was because he wanted control of his ship. As the cargo he was hauling, stolen from Atlantis, was only something he'd be able to handle as he did. These beetles were extremely dangerous and Tenzen planned to get rid of them. He wanted to use them after they had docked so that the weaklings could be easily taken out, but there, literally, was a bigger fish that they needed to be used on.

Tenzen didn't come here to save Fishman Island, but take something he knew was here. Something that he knew would help him in the long wrong. And bring it to 'that' person. "Take them down there and take care of that beast!" Tenzen would say he tightened his grip  on the ship's wheel. If they had been hit by that they would've been sent back, luckily they were missed like a few other of the ships.  A Sea King was something, as a Devil Fruit user, that he couldn't face off against underwater. To many factors needed to be taken into consideration. Well, he would be able to. It was just that he hadn't fought one of those since gaining his fruit and he didn't want to fight one now. His Clone, who he had created before the journey was embarked on, would stand in the middle of the deck. At this time Tenzen got control of the ship and put it's course toward the directions, the head, of the Sea King that had attacked them all. The amount of energy it held within side it was close to half of what Tenzen held within himself. This was to ensure that it would be able to keep control of the beetles for as long as possible, or at least till he would be able to get them close.

There was something else within the waters with them, that was large and dangerous, a strange beast that Tenzen hadn't' seen before had begun to head toward the Sea King. Tenzen though wouldn't pull his ship from the formation, but tossed the personal bubble coater to the clone. "I picked it up before I left. Make sure to use it when heading out." Tenzen would say and once the clone caught it they'd use and be suddenly the deck of the ship would be broken. It was broken because the beetles kept inside would burst out, under the control of the clone. There being a total of twelve of them. The Clone would jump on the back of one and the pack would begin to fly and head out of the bubble coated ship. They would trail behind the creature, Wani, as it would head toward Bona. The distance they were being around twenty meters. When they would actually arrive to Bona would be at the moment Wani had bitten, or attempted to, bite into Bona. Three were made to head to the head of the beast, to slam into it with their hard bodies. Whilst the rest of the pack would be held back. As if the bite was successful the clone would let control of all but the one he rode on go. As the blood from the Sea King would be enough to have the beetles naturally be drawn toward the beast.

Tenzen's ship would be boarded by a large group of fishman, and all he had was the blade that blacksmith on Baltigo made for him. Once they had begun to board he'd unsheath his sword. "I will give you all the option to follow me. Follow Tenzen the greatest of all swordsmen. " Is what he'd say. None of them had mounts and simply swam and got onto his ship without any setbacks, so they most likely wouldn't take Tenzen's warnings. If they indeed began to try to fight him he'd defend himself to the best of his ability until the ship was truly overrun, and then he'd allow his wrath and fiendish will take care of them in one swell swoop.

Everyone teaming up on poor Bona :/. Anyway, dock's open for landing, just know a fleet of Fishmen await you. Three posts until canon fire from the Army, so, yeah, make it snappy with these dockings.

After Bona had disbursed the first blast of water from it's jaws, at this point, Bona's eyes locked onto Wani's progression forward. Removing his coil from around Fishman Island, the beast moved from his original position, about thirty meters away from the incoming Banana Crocodile, and extending outwards, and began to motion towards the Crocodile. Extending it's reptilian mass outwards to close the distance, shoot off at around Tier Two Speeds for the first strides, but achieving Tier Five Speeds around the twenty meter mark, Bona advanced towards onward, opening it's jaws to swallow the Gator hold. At this point, it'd be impossible for Wani to change it's path, and the torrential pull of water draining into the beasts stomach would offer enough force to drain in Wani into his jaws, if this motion would've been successful. At this point, the Beetles slammed into the back of the Sea King, falling out of scope from Bona's shear fascination with eliminating the natural predator of his kind. However, a tune could've been heard, a lullaby, it seemed, and Bona's eyes literally began to shutdown upon impact of the Beetles, if the Beetles were in range, they too would've enter into this slumber. As Bona sunk into the depth, it's lock on Fishman Island broken, whatever the Sea King's Predator's did next would've woken the beast from his slumber, as his skin's tough exterior could've handled the shock of the impact, meaning the Beetles drew no blood. As Thirty Meters worth, starting from his head sunk into the depths, a small window became apparent. It was the Front Entrance, the Gate towards Fishman Island, which was encapsulated by a natural bubble coating system. Ships could easily slip in and out of this coat, docking by the makeshift harbours for incoming visitors.

Meanwhile, on Tenzen's Vessel, a force of three hundred Fishmen would dock, slipping through the ship's bubble. Half of the force would opt to go and awaken Bona, as she was the main defence in Oceanus Fishman Island forces. Meaning, only one hundred and fifty men remained to face Tenzen, while the remainder swam as quickly as they could to awaken the now slumbering beast. Drawing their weapons, swords, axes and maces alike, the Fishmen began to encircle the warrior who stood as Helmsmen in the open of the vessels navigational area. "You're the fucking idiot who killed the Prince? Aren't ya?" one of the Fishmen shouted. "I bet If I bring you're head to Oceanus, he'd pick a pretty penny. Release the steering wheel... You ain't making it onto Fishman Island." the boss of the weaker Fishman Pack announced. By the entrance, flustered Commanding Officers, after hearing about the failures of Ren and Luso on Atlantis, immediately called the Plaza, informing Kain and Abel of the situation. "What do you mean... Bona's sleeping?" Abel said, infuriated, shattered the golden armrest that his hand once previously rested so calmly on. "We're trying our best to wake him up sir!" the Commanding Officer at the entrance of Fishman island tuned in. "One Hour." Kain interrupted. "I'll give you one hour to destroy them. They're in water... You have the advantage... Oceanus has trained you better than this... I have trained you better than this." Kain concluded hanging up the call.

On the ships which the forces had managed to docked, the Fishmen one by one, began to target the vessels bubble coating generator, to sink the vessels underwater. Using their Fishman Karate Skills, the shockwaves would shatter the coatings fragile, yet, sturdy composition with a series of attacks in combination from the warriors. If allowed to do so, the vessels would eventually loose their coating after two posts of continual attacks from Tier 1 Fishman Warriors. Those manning the Flying Fishman, didn't even dock, but sent off volleys of Bazooka Fire onto the vessels hulls from the outsides, cutting down the original Forty-Nine Ships, to Twenty-Two. Luckily, Triton rode on the vessel with the Yonko, but his vessel wasn't neither any shorter of attempted docking or fire, no ship was safe at this point. With Bona down, the higher ranking Fishmen stepped into the frey, original being part of a huge ground force, ten of the Tier 3 Officers, each from the Octopus Family Tree, broke through the bubble at tremendous speeds, picking up even more motion as they advanced to ten of the remaining vessels, leading their men to further sink the remaining ships. However, the window for the vessels to dock was open, they'd just need to survive the guerrilla tactics of Kain and Abel's forces. As if this wasn't enough trouble, the local Army forced under the grip of Kain and Abel had mobilised, a squadron bearing hundreds of Sangrenel, Harpoon and Explosive Shell were being wheeled from WaterWheel Town towards the battlefield at the entrance. If and when, (three posts), these canons made it their before any of the vessels docked, fire from the land would begin. As anxious as Kain and Abel were, they'd wait, biding their anger, allowing their men to show worthiness. Getting up from his seat, Kain waited no longer. "Where are you going brother?" Abel asked. "I won't be long. I'm going to use Poseidon to wake Bona up again. This time with more intensity." Kain said clutching his fists in fustration. "What if 'it' shows resistance again?" Abel inquired. "I'll kill another one of her brothers." Kain grinned as he stormed off.

As Lin finally made it to the helmsman's side it looked like the more distinguished party on the other ship finally managed to do something about the Sea King blocking the way. She didn't see exactly how they did it, but the huge thing was now sinking to the depths, opening up the path to Fishman Island's docks. To make up for where the Sea King failed however, the rest of Oceanus troops decided to fight back harder.

The way pathway to the docks was open. That much could be seen. In fact as soon as it did, the remaining ships made a beeline for it only to be met by some formidable resistance. The reinforcements aside, a few elite troops decided to march out themselves to personally take care of business. One such officer found himself on the deck of the ship Lin was on and was proving to be a challenge even to the stronger recruits as his Fishman strength and Octopus characteristics made him one tough customer. If they didn't do something about him soon, he might just proceed to wreck the ship. Lin figured it was about time she did some actual heavy lifting and advised the helmsman to just keep heading for the docks. She would help clear out the problem on the deck in the meantime.

What made the Octopus man difficult to fight was his multiple limbs catching people off guard and striking from unexpected angles. Each limb was also capable of casually lifting a person and tossing them away if they give him a chance to grab them. Well, Lin was confident in her own strength and she really wasn't in the mood to try and outmaneuver the guy. An honest straightforward frontal assault was going to be her move here. Well, perhaps not quite frontal. From her current position about ten meters away, the Octopus had his back turned. Though it appeared he was trained enough to even attack things behind him with the awesome reach his tentacle arms gave him.

As soon as she spotted an open path to him, she broke into a run and then jumped forward to perform a flying kick aimed right at the center of the Octopus man's back. Soaring like a missile, her leg was imbued with the signature vibrations of the Hasshoken style and would tear through almost anything that made contact with it. Should the Fishman's tentacles attempt to intercept her, well he ought to be prepared to lose them. Anything other than a dodge would not be wise as, if she connected successfully, he would find that any armor or tough skin he might have possessed would be utterly useless with his insides turning into mush from that vibration attack. If she succeeded, hopefully that would be enough to put him out of commission.

Skills Used:

The Weevils wouldn't be sent out or released from the control of the clone, for a couple of reasons. The first was that blood wasn't drawn by the creature also attacking the Sea King. As after the first strike, hitting the head of the beast, the Sea King seemed to stop it's hold on FIshman Island. At first the clone believed that the Weevils hit the Sea King strong enough to knock it out, but that wasn't the case. As the one he rode on, just like the others around, began to slumber. And there was also the sound of music coming out, from somewhere. Whatever took down the Sea King, and these beetles, came from somewhere else. The Clone though didn't care who did it as now he didn't have to waste the Beetles on the creature. Also there wasn't any blood that would draw them in. And even if there was they would be asleep and wouldn't even try to attack. With a twitch of his finger he would force all the beetles to get into formation, as they didn't need to be awake to be controlled. Them being asleep actually gave the Clone more control as there was less resistance. The Clone would begin to move toward the docks, where the others ships also seemed to be heading to.

"Idiot? We both have ways of sending messages. Well, not us but me and Oceanus. He took the Holy Land....and I took the head of a prince at one of the strongest strongholds the Marines have to offer. Though Oceanus' action was more noteworthy I don't see mine as that much lesser. So why not follow me? " After they had all surrounded him Tenzen let his wrath run wild and knocking out a large amount of the of the forces. The majority of them, just about ninety-percent, were within that thirty meter range of Tenzen. Since they no doubt they would sooner or later rush him from all sides. Or even if they just stood there just to encircled him. His attack wouldn't take them all out. Tenzen wouldn't move from his spot after doing so, unless he attacked. His ship would get to the docks soon.

The Clone would send the Weevils toward a few of the tier 3 officers that came from the bubble dome. As they'd probably try to attack him anyway since the Clone was using a personal bubble coater and was a nice target since he had less mobility.  

--:

Hilda would grimace as forces seemed to approach the ship faster. Standing to the frogs full height, which was even taller than the Yonko himself, Hilda would turn from the group as Junbei's sleeping song filled the air, the amphibian would head towards the bubble coat generator. Arrows had been replenished, though he was yet to gain a new bow. The arrows within his quiver each coated within the poison that the frog had become famed for. It was basic war tactics, they had some seriously powerful warriors on board, yet every warrior would become useless, including the Yonko and the billion bounty pirate if water where to board the ship. Thus the bubble generator was the obvious goal. "I'll defend this" The frog uttered, loud enough for all on board to hear.

Withdrawing two arrows from his quiver, the naked frog would hold his place until those whom docked began to break threw. Given an almost 360 degree of vision, taking the frog by surprise would be difficult. The frog simply hoped they could make it to their destination before the prominent Juijutsu members joined the battle. clipped to the strap where the two bubble devices he had taken previously that remained unused in case of emergencies. Not daring to move from his spot until the fishman came for him, the frog would allow those in front to take charge of this battle. Given that the last time he had done so ended in death of a crew mate, the frog also took this job simply to get away from the songbirds at this moment, the sight of Nico made the frogs stomach churn. The frog couldn't bring himself to forgive the bazooka wielding bugger, he had not been there when Three had died, he had been emersed in battle, caring little for his comrades, and the same with the most recent battle. He had been in the comfort of the Yonko while Octavia and the Frog battled the poison wielder. He would have liked to have seen Nico put in that position, to save themselves or have all three of the songbirds perish at the hands of the fishman, it was an obvious choice for the amphibian whom had spent time with those whom claimed the title of Pirate Kings. Yet something about this crew, had changed him. He had gotten softer, back in the old days, they protected each other. Not anymore.

Fishmen now over flowed the deck, fighters would begin to take up arms and any fishman that got close to the frog would take slashes from the sharp arrow head, meagre slashes would be enough to incapacitate the fodder sent out. Numbers where being used here, thus these warriors were simply meant to over run rather than show actual technique. Taking them down was simple enough when they yelled and screamed and waved their weapons. The real battle would begin soon, an eery sensation flowed over the frog as he pulled his arrow from the head of another fishman, keeping any and all away from their generator.

So the chaos begins. Yeah Tier 3 guys are all Str Based Spec.
Tier 4 guys are all Perception Based Spec.

Used Color Of Arms to negate Lin's attack.

As Lin's lethal kick approached, the Octopus Fishman, fresh off of docking, had been immediately attacked by an unknown assailant. "Pft. A woman... I'm of a superior race... You're puny attack won't affect me." the Octopus rattled off proudly. The movement being too quick for him to react, the Octopus bundled five of his eight tentacles on his head together, hardening them with Busoshoku Haki to brace for impact. Rather internal or external, the man's colour of arm's valour severely diminished the force of the impact. With his remaining three tentacles, he'd attempt to wrap his tails around the woman's mid-air, seemingly defenceless body, as they'd be a point where her body would certainly be limp from the force of the impact. If his three other tentacles were successfully in subduing her, they'd move at around Tier 3 speeds, fast enough to get a constrict lock of around Tier 5 strengths if successful. Regardless, the Octopus Man would grapple onto the blades at his sides, still having his human hands available, as his stature was a bit different from the others, who used their tentacles as arms, he'd have eight operational arms attached to his face, and two human arms from his person. Regardless of the outcome, the vessel would approach towards the dock. Hovering around the outside of Tenzen's coated ship, at a safe distance, the Octopus Fishman's Kenbunshoku Haki felt the dangerous intent that came from Tenzen. Waiting for moments after the disburse, the Octopus Fishman would then dock the vessel, with his fledglings at his feet. The man was around nine feet in height of muscular build and his arms were indeed, tentacles in nature, each packing immense strength, gripping onto what seemed to spears, tipped in a jet black ink looking coating. Whether it was Busoshoku Haki, ink from the Octopus or both, the man now stared down at Tenzen. "Conqueror's Will... Ohoho... You are an interesting one. Your trick won't work on me. I've seen Oceanus pop open runts like you for breakfast." the Octopus Man taunted. However, his words were mere precursor for his next action. From the moment he landed, he'd extending two of his arms backwards, using the shear size and width of his body to hide the action, the tentacles had expanded about ten inches backwards, having two spears cocked for impact.

What happened next was a like a Nasa launch, from the start of the man's sentence, before his feet would even touch the ground, the arms would reach the max peak, and in an instant, with immense momentum the two spears would fly towards Tenzen's, one arched to pierce the man diagonally, and another, arched to pierce him in his shin. Now, the force of each spear was about Tier 3/4, in speed and strength respectively, meaning, unless something with equal or less force met them, they'd still make way towards the targets. If the attack was successful, the man would waste no time attacking the Bubble Coating Device on the deck, about ten or meters away from his position, sinking the vessel. However, if his attack had failed, he'd cocked two more spears backwards, one aiming towards Tenzen's forehead and another towards the Coating Device on the ship's mast. As Bona slumbered, Kain made his way towards the tower at the edge of the plaza, climbing about twenty feet of stairs upwards, he'd come upon a door which was guarded by two of his most trusted men, around Tier 4 in tier. Making eye-contact with both men, the men opened the door, revealing the room with no windows or no other exits/entrance, aside from the one Kain stepped through. The Door was humungous, around Thirty Feet, the guards being around Sixteen, and Kain clocking in at Twenty Feet, but standing over Thirty-Two Feet in height, was the large mermaid strapped up within the contents of the prison of the room by Seastone Prism Shackles.


The woman was the definition of beauty, her long Rapunzel Theme hair tailed down along her scaly tail, as her bosom arched suspended by the chains around her chest and neck. Her eyes were like giant jewels, Sky Blue, as clear as the Ocean Depths, eyes that many a man would loose their common sense just to achieve her affections. "Your Father was right to give you the name Athena. Every time I see you tied up like this... I get all tingly on the inside." Kain commented. "As Brothers... Me and Brother share almost everything... Thoughts... Dreams... and even at times... even more material things... like food, clothes... and women." Kain concluded. "However, I'm not as distasteful as to touch a married man's wife... I'm just here to relay a message... from Oceanus." Kain stated, his empty winded lie struck pure fear in Athena's heart. "Poseidon... Use your voice to awaken the slumbering Bona. That is all." Kain relayed. "Bona... Is Sleeping? Impossible. She hasn't slept in almost half a century... She should still be under my voices spell... How did-" Athena's questioning railed on. Crossing two of his arms in an 'X' like fashion in front of him, two tentacles blossomed on Athena's mouth. "Shut you're dirty mouth... Human lover. I'm going to remove my hands in a few seconds... I better hear you singing... Or maybe... I should go pay those mermaids you love by the cove so much a little visit. It's been awhile since-" Kain's speech was shattered by the screech from Athena's mouth, the woman's voice shook the whole island, bringing new vigour to Bona. These events wouldn't occur until next post.

Docking, the Yonko's vessel slid along the docking area where the army gathered, disregarding the usual docking procedures. A force of ten thousand solider's, each led by four generals approached the boat. The Strongest of the Generals was a Tiger Fishman of Tier 4 caliber, the second in-command was a Squid Fishman of Tier 4 caliber who specialises in using Sai's as weapons, the other two Tier 3 generals were Octopus Fishmen, each with limbs that could stretch up to fifteen feet. Among them, was around 100 T2 Fishmen, 100 T1 Fishmen, and several floating Fishmen riding Flying Fish from the skies, Tier 2 in nature but each Flying Fish moved at around Tier 4 speeds, and were about ten feet above the docked vessel, buzzing around the ship, stalking their potential prey. In moments, the vessel would be encircled, the generals not even trying to board the damaged crashed vessel, whistled, summoning the Bazooka users from their pack around twenty in all, from each side aiming their weapons towards the flank and deck of the ship, unloading fire, the Bazooka would rattle apart the vessel, the ship which contained Triton.

Triton's personal guard sprung into action instantly, escorting the Merman King towards the deck, surrounding him in a five person formation, in a circular fashion. The remainder of the Fishmen, were unending seas of warriors, of T0 capacity, and even with this large a force surrounding the Yonko's vessel, tens of thousands more awaited the docking of the other ships. The bombardment had commenced, within moments, unless stopped, the vessel would be turned to Scrap Metal if continuously blasted by canonball fire. As if this wasn't enough, the Army Wheel closer, with hundreds of canons in their possession (two posts), it was only a matter of time before the docked vessel would indeed be trapped on all fronts, because shortly after the firing began, a loud screech struck Bona's ears, the beast awoke, and was much more ferocious than before. Among the troops, several pairs of Seastone Cuffs lied in each Generals Command (every NPC aside from the Boss and that is Tier 3+), after reading reports of each Devil Fruit User Known among them.

The color change of her target's limbs and the sensation she felt on her foot when her kick made impact told her everything she needed to know. Once again she found her actions thwarted by that thing called 'haki' and she was no closer to learning how to use it herself. It was a different sort this time though and somehow the fact that the Fishman had to strengthen his defense gave her reassurance that he would have been otherwise in trouble if he didn't. But this was no time to be relieved. Although his response was partial to defense, allocating a whole five tentacles to it, he still left three to handle his counterattack. Now it was Lin's turn to reply.

It didn't escape her notice that only the tentacles allocated for defense had changed in color. She wondered if that meant he couldn't apply haki to his entire body at once. It made sense that different practitioners had different levels of mastery even when it came to haki. Perhaps that meant she could play around it by avoiding the parts that were coated and strike form another angle. As the tentacles approached, Lin quickly dispersed her body into the wind, slipping through the gaps between the tentacles to avoid getting constricted. The surprise from her suddenly transforming into wind would give her the opening to slip out. Not to mention three tentacles wouldn't be enough to fully cover her anyway.

She wasn't lying about not holding back. Unlike earlier when she kept most of her abilities under wraps, this time it was all out war. And she wasn't about to pull her punches. Speaking of punches, that would be her next move. She was hoping the chaos and confusion of the battle would make it difficult for the Octopus to track streaks of wind, especially since the other recruits were still attacking him from all sides. In any case, she would reform her body directly above his head where he didn't have a clear view. Her exact position was as though she was diving headfirst. She would then bring down both of her vibration imbued fists at once on top of his head with all of her might, performing a double fist punch that would hopefully do the job this time.

It was a good thing the ship had managed to dock in the meantime, because that meant they no longer needed it. If her blow managed to connect successfully, the Octopus wouldn't be the only casualty as the destructive force would obliterate even the part of ship beneath his feet. After executing the blow, she would use the recoil to propel herself backward into the air and land back on the section of the ship that was still intact after her attack at a range beyond the Fishman's tentacles in case he made another effort to grab or lash out at her despite all that.

Skills Used:

Screams filled the vessel as it shot forth, it would seem that the yonko had other ideas and though the frog would continue to stand at the generator, he would watch for any enemies, alas it would seem fishmen would not dock on board their ship, the Yonko having taken control and demanding the crashing of their vehicle. When it seemed that this would be the course of action being taken, the people on board began to scream and find anything they could to hold on to. The frog did not move, remaining at the generator just in case, no turbulence could disturb him. Due to his ability to stick to pretty much any substance the frog could make himself nigh unmovable thanks to this ability.

"LAND HO"

Her captains voice rang out as even he braced for impact. The hull connected with earth as the ship skidded forth, the frog bending his knees to keep from falling as the ship flowed, though he would not stumble. Riding the ships course until it halted, the seastone hull keeping the rest of the ship from breaking apart. Thus became the confessions of her captain and then after followed Nico, surprised to hear his words the Frogs demeanour did not falter, even Octavia stepped up, the strange and sometimes perverted doctor telling Junbei exactly what he needed to hear. "Men" the frog said looking to Octavia after she had whispered to her. The doctors own personality sure was refreshing and it was 100% her, not like Hilda, who was at first the frog and then Hilda....and then...Jerome.....Jerome Hart, a name he had long since forgotten.

The frog belonged to the Hart family, people of high stature who where well known within the Government and had dealings with the underworld. Jerome was a strange child whom dawned dresses and loved to dress up as a female as well as be his boyish self, of course his family shut his femine side down, Hilda....Hilda began to hate Jerome because he was the one that was wanted, when they locked Jerome in the basement, Hilda was free to take over, to be who she believed she was meant to be, and then upon consuming the frog frog no mi, Hilda could be a whole new person....and in doing so,  he had created two personalities to shut Jerome out for ever....and now, now in this moment, Hilda for the first time in sixteen years, began to feel as though it was time for them all....to be as one.

"Your doctors right, though i'd think worrying about us a little is a good thing" the Frog said as he patted Octavias head having returned his arrows to the quiver. "I'll fight by your side to protect fishman island, I'll fight with the songbirds, and i'll make sure to protect each of you, because I know each of you would do the same for me. The frog said as he moved passed Octavia towards Nico. "Because Junbei, Octavia, Charlotte, Juju, Caprice and even you Nico. None of you are expendable to me, and I will kill anyone friend or foe, who threatens the lives of my family" The frog said, placing a hand on Nico's shoulder as she bypassed him to stand next to Junbei.

"I meant what I said though, after we've completed our mission here........The frog, Hilda....I don't think either of them will make it  through this, after this is completed, once The frog has fought by your side here in Fishman Island, I think, its time we left the Songbird Pirates" The frog said, low enough only for Junbei's ears. "till then, any enemy who stands in our way will feel the full brunt of us, THE SONG BIRD PIRATES" shouted the frog in defiance as he lifted his hand to the sky in a pounding motion, seemingly pumping up all the songbirds on board who released a fierce shout of solidarity.
