It was a warm day on the docks of the Enchanted lands. The smell of seawater fills the air as Adri stands on the section of the dock meant just for the Royal family and other Celestial Dragons and Nobles. He was wearing a standard CP uniform of a two piece suit, of which was black and white, black loafers, a fedora, and his signature white Mask that he always wore. In his mouth, and his mask's mouth by extension, as he stood there waiting for the Queen to return to the island. She had recently gone off on business he had not been informed off, only that it had to do with her father. Adri didn't ask much into it then, and he didn't ask much into it now. Hell, even if it was his job he wasn't going to look into a Goresei's family unless told to by another one. Mainly because it was a quick death if they found out.

Adri sighed as he wondered how he got into the mess of having to be the one in charge. Soon after the Queen left, her adviser's began struggling to become the main adviser. Their was soon a full out war, a war of poison's and secret killings. Adri did some himself, if only to stop people who were going to take the Queen's absence as a way to start a revolution, heaven forbid that actually happened, it would be way above his pay grade to deal with. Soon it became clear that the Adviser's and other Servants were going to kill each other if no one stepped in, so Adri did exactly that. He took command of all the guards, killing any head guards that disagreed, gathered those that were loyal to the queen, and either captured, or killed everyone else that was vying for more power. The sorta-not really coup worked, and Adri had the reigns of the entire palace as well as the kingdom really. He just set those whose jobs it was to manage everything back into place, and he just stood back and watched. What he didn't anticipate though was the fact that he somehow ended up in charge of the entire kingdom, as he had to file paperwork, deal with prisoner's who were brought before him as judgement, and other duties normally assigned to the queen.

Adri sighs, take his hat off his head just long enough to run his leather clad hand through his hair as he thought of it all. Putting his hat back on his head, he takes the cigarette out of his mouth to blow out some more smoke, and watched as the ship in the horizon came closer and closer, dreading what might happen if the Queen was upset about the death of her head Adviser.

OCC Information:

Adri watched as the ship got closer and closer, and he could only think of how it was going to be a pain to deal with the entire situation that will definitely unfold. He was just a damned guard, sent here to do counter intelligence and protect the Queen, and now he practically ran the entire damned kingdom while the Queen was away. It was all above his pay grade. At the very least he might be allowed to beg for his life before she had him shot, even if it was for nothing.

When the boat finally docked, and the gangplank lowered, he did a bow as the guards that were with him took up positions all along the dock, a practical wall towards her carriage that waited not even 20 meters away. Adri pulled the cigarette out of his mouth and crushing it, but not letting it fall to the ground instead holding it in his close fist. He was thankful that his eyes and mouth were shaded by his mask at almost all times, else he might not be able to stop the worry from showing on both of them. 

When the queen finally started approaching him, he calmed his nerves with some deep breathing techniques he picked up in his time as a Marine and CP, he was also thankful that unless someone strained hte breathing was almost silent.

"And who might you be?" The Queen asked him. "Adri Sakna of Cipher Pol 8, Your Majesty. I am the man in charge of counter intelligence, finding revolutionary's that might be hiding in your fair kingdom, and the man who takes out those that aim to take your life from the shadows." Adri would say with nothing but humble in his voice, as he wouldn't dare insult someone related to the Gorosei themselves. "I have come to meet you and to escort you to the palace, as your adviser is...Otherwise preoccupied, and I was the next highest in command, thus my being here." Adri would finish with out even moving an inch. 

As Adri spoke, he couldn't help but miss the weight of his favored rifle, even if it wouldn't of helped him here, it would of served as a comforting weight. Adri would be silent as he waited for the queen to either address him, let him stand, or just straight up shoot him.

Adri didn't speak when the Queen brushed past him, he simply stood up from his bow and followed a respectable distance behind her of 5 feet. He would throw his cigarette off the pier as he followed her with a quick flex of his fingers. Following the Queen to her carriage where the driver was standing with the door open. He would follow her up to five feet of the carriage, where he would do another bow at the waist, as a guard helped her up into the carriage. Before he could speak his good byes and plans to meet her at the palace the Queen surprised him. "You, Cipher Agent, you ride with me". Stiffing for only a moment, he would do a silent exhale of breath to calm his nerves before he would step up into the carriage, no guard helping him as non even bothered to raise a hand to help a lowly guard like him, not in the presence of the queen.

Adri took the seat the Queen motioned to. The driver would close the door behind him, and take his position in the driver position, and the would take off at a sedated pace. Adri would sit with his arms crossed, but not in a disrespectful manner, more in a 'I will answer all your questions, so please tell me them' Manner. He would keep his feet flat on the ground, as his knees were slightly spread. "So Mr..........Agent" He would roll his eyes behind his mask before he could catch himself, even with the mask shading them from view, he still inwardly cursed himself for the slip up. "Explain to me exactly what's been going on within my Enchanting Island since I've been with my father these past few months" The Queen would say to him as he cursed his own luck at being the one to deal with Nobles and Celestial Dragons. Taking another silent exhale breath, he would reply "Soon after you left multiple advisers starting kill their rivals to gain better standing in the court. Others were taking your leave of absence to try and spark a rebellion so they may reign supreme, though they hardly had time to gather any followers before me and my men took them out. The fighting was getting so bad that the kingdom may end up in a civil war, so I stepped in and took control. I killed the court guardsmen while also gathering those loyal to you, and took control of the palace, killing capturing those that were vying for more power. I then ran the kingdom in your place until I heard of your returning. I placed trust worthy people in charge then came down to meet your ship." Adri would stop for a few moments to allow the queen to process the information before continuing "In your dungeons there are six Advisers, fifty-two servants, and eighty-four guardsmen awaiting your judgement." Adri would go quiet and await his queen's response, and hopefully after this carriage ride he would be able to no longer be the one who had to report to the Queen, Celestial's made him nervous, even if he didn't show it.

Since the ride started Adri noticed the change in the Queen, how she wasn't entirely focusing on what he was saying, like she was holding something back. Adri chopped this up to her holding back her urge to kill him, but he couldn't help but notice how it just got worse as the carriage ride went on. He ignored the gnawing feeling for now, as he doubted that someone had managed to get on the boat and poison her food, but he shifted the left side of his suit open a bit to easily get to his den den mushi he had there. 


 "I'm surprised there were as little as that, I'm sure most of the "rebels" have avoided your gaze, we dragons are not entirely liked, but we rule with iron fists, we take the lives of those lesser than us. The blood of the first men live on through our golden blood" The Queen would say to him before quickly putting her hand up to her mouth. "I doubt I missed many, I had my men and various guards posted in all of the towns on the islands, weeding out whatever they could find. I believe I have successfully purged the island of Rebels, but there could be more in hiding, but rest assured, my men will root them out eventually." Adri would say as he eyed the Queen, inspecting her for any obvious signs of poison. 

 Opening his mouth to speak he was cut off by the queen; "As a Cipher Pol Agent your knowledge of the world must be outstanding, tell me of all news that has happened since visiting my father for the past few months."  Before he could even open his mouth to speak, the queen started puking all over the carriage. Acting quickly he would move out the door almost as soon as the queen was in the motion. He would watch the Queen as she barreled out the door behind him, as the driver stopped the cart.

He would watch the conversation between the Queen and the driver. When she beckonded him to her side, he would active his Ken Haki to give him vision of the surrounding area. As he kept an eye out with his Ken, he would look at the Queen with his shaded eyes, inspecting for anymore signs of sickness.

OOC:

Adri would walk with the Queen the entire way to the castle, keeping an eye out, sort to speak, with his Haki, making sure that no one was possibly sneaking up to attack them. He would keep this up until he and the Queen entered the Castle. Greeting them at the entrance was one of Adri's men who would salute when he approached. Giving a short bow to the Queen, Adri would go to the man and say quickly and quietly "Have the doctor come to the throne room, the Queen may be poisoned." Before turning and following after the queen, walking with fast and long strides. Adri would follow the Queen into the throne room, thought not next to her throne, he would stand off to the left side of her throne (when facing the door) and stand towards the other wall. He would stand there for the exchange that the Queen had on the phone, but not comment, simply waited for her to be done. 

When the queen commanded him to fetch the prisoner's, he simply reached into his pocket and pulled out his Den Den mushi he kept on his person. Dialing in the number of the man he had down in the dungeon, even as the queen starting commanding her slaves angrily, Adri would appear to be calming dialing. After dialing he would pick up his Den Den and await for his man to respond. After the man did he would give the order for them to bring all of the prisoner's into the throne room before hanging up.

Adri would continue to stand there when the queen would curse. Turning his head to look at her, he calmly said "Your Majesty? Are you alright?" and awaited her response.

Adri would tilt his head slighty at the news of the Celestial Dragon's death, not knowing who it was off the top of his head, though he did mean to look into him and his family further, if only to see what threat they could possibly posse to his Queen... Damn he hated his job sometimes, having to work for a Celestial Dragon was stressful enough, now he was having to look into OTHER dragon's if only for security reasons. Internally shaking his head to clear his thoughts, Adri refocused on the Queen. He listened to her somberly talking about the Celestial Dragon that had died, she was obvious angry and... He wasn't sure what else... Fearful perhaps? He couldn't say for sure, as the Queen's face had multiple looks that could be various different emotions. Adri would stand there looking up at the Queen from where he stood at the bottom of her. 

But then the next words the Queen would say would send him into a whole new level of stress. "I'm fucking pregnant" Adri's eyes would widen in surprised and he would start thinking seriously about the situation. Adri would began thinking of various defenses that could be used to reinforce the queens safety  even more, those options vary from more body guards, to stronger locks on windows. Before he could speak, two of his CP underlings come through the door into the throne room with the doctor in tow. Shortly after a few more of his CP underlings and some palace guards march into the throne room with the various prisoner's ranging from servants, to palace guards, and finally to some of the Queen's old personal advisers.

Motioning for his underlings that were with the doctor to come to him, he would have them stand beside him while the Palace Guards and some of his other underlings had all of the traitors line up in a row. Adri took the time it took them to line up to step out of his position, and stand in front but off to the side of the Queen as to not impede her sight of the prisoners. 

"My queen I present to you the various traitors that were captured upon our retaking of your great castle." Adri would motion to the thirty or so prisoner's as he spoke in a half bow at the waist. "We have some nameless slaves who had tried to escape their bonds in the confusion, servants who thought to steal from you during the same confusion, various guards who had betrayed you to join one adviser or another, and three advisers who had tried to claim your seat as ruler, or just simply wanted to become your head adviser. both of which are considered treason as they each have murdered no less then two other advisers each." Adri would say in a calm voice. "May your judgement be swift and mercifu-" Before he could finish his sentence, one of the advisers jumps up, in his tattered and dirty cloths, dirt smudging his once beautiful face along with a black eye he might of been striking without. "My queen this government agent is a liar and charlatan! He plays you false! He plans to take the head adviser spot for himself! He instigated the whole political war!" The man would say fast and quickly before one of the Palace guards finally decided to hit the adviser with their pole arm's butt. Adri would not move upon being interrupted, only wait for the queens response as he sighs, in a mix of annoyance and expiration upon the interruption, as it would no doubt lead to the Queen questioning him and that was something he didn't need in his already stressful life.

Adri simply stayed in his bow as the Queen spoke about her lack of care for who did what. Adri was actually relived when she spoke like that, as it meant that could probably slip up once or twice and still be alive after. Of course he would never slip up on purpose, that would be a quick way to death in the service of a Celestial dragon. Adri would stand there seemingly impassively as he listen to his Queen speak of how they could survive. Adri was at once annoyed but also relieved. Annoyed because there has yet to be a chance show off his skill, yet relived because he didn't have to fight. 

Adri would straighten as soon as he was told he was to cut their bonds and would quickly go and do so. It took less then a few minutes to cut all their bonds, where he would quickly toss the blade into the middle of them and stand beside his queen. 

When the knife was thrown at his queen, Adri would quickly (T3 speeds) arrive in front of the Queen and grab the knife. Holding it for a few moments he would begin to twirl it in his fingers, holding his chin up to look down at the slave who threw the blade at the Queen. The motion allowing Adri's normally shaded eyes to reveal, showing his right brown eye which was full of killing intent, making all of the slaves present take a step back. 

"My queen it seems they fuse your offer. So since they have been so disrespectful of you, allow me to use this time to demonstrate my skill for you." Adri would say lowering his head so his eyes were shaded once again. After speaking Adri would go into action, reaching the slave who through the knife first, not because he was in front of the group, but because he was in the center of it. Stopping the twirl of the knife in his hand, he would pass the slave, the knife going through the right side of slaves neck, which after a moment blood would spew. Adri would continue doing this, slicing the right side of all the prisoner's necks, going faster (T4) and faster (T5) until only a minute after he started the blood bath each of the prisoner's were dead. 

Twirling the blade in his hand again, closer inspection would show that it had not even a spec of blood. Adri would also stand in the center of the blood bath, not a spec of blood on him, nothing showing he had just brutally murdered a group of men. "I believe that should suffice to show my skill, my Queen." Adri would say with a bow from the waist.. "With your blessing I request permission to leave your services for a short period of time. I have matters that involve CP8 and while I lament to say this, they do require my assistance." Adri would say his voice full of respect. 

Should permission be given to Adri he would walk to the throne room doors and walk out, telling his CP grunts to watch over the queen while he was gone, as well as handing the knife to one of the palace guards. He would take his personal items before leaving the castle and then the island.

Should permission no be granted, Adri would take up his previous position on the left hand side of the room (when facing the door) and await any and all of the queens orders.
