| - Rinji: He'll be fine, you know. Usagi: Hmmm? [Suddenly broughtout of her trance] What? Rinji: Chio, he'll be fine. Usagi: What? What are you talking about? Rinji: Oh nothing [Grinning] Usagi glanced over at Nikk, who turned back to her writing, acting like she wasn't looking. That was when Rinji looked over at Red Dog Dan, and started to think of their little problem with that Ricky guy. He finally got down from his seat and picked up the extremely large man and held him above his head. Rinji: I'll be right back, ladies. [Walks out the door, struggling a bit to fit him through the door, then closed it with his foot] Usagi: You wanna pillow fight? Nikk: [Pause] Yeah... Jacko: You're late. Chio: Yeah, sorry about that, had trouble finding the place. Barkeep! [Waved him over] Beer, and keep it coming. Jacko: He's on my tab. Chio: Thanks man, you know, you guys really aren't all that bad. It's a shame we're at two ends of a conflict. Jacko: Yeah, I know [Drinks], but you know, I see that it really doesn't matter. I mean, it's not like we're after the lives of every man, woman, and child in this entire island. Just the ones we deem worthy of our trouble. Chio: Yeah, I've been meaning to ask you about that, why them? Why go after people who sweat too much, and wet themselves? Jacko: Eric... Eric is the one calling the shots. He wants his sister back so much, that he is willing to topple an entire island to find her. He doesn't entirely want to, but if it comes down to that, that's what will happen. Chio: Well then, [drinks] I suppose we'll have to stop that from happening. Jacko: So you'll hand over Nikk? Chio: Well, that's not for us to decide, that's for Nikk to decide, and she sounded adament about staying away from him. The only other way to stop that from happening is to beat down Eric, and your gang of... whatever you are. Jacko: Oh, we are pirates, indeed. We're just not stuck to a ship or any of those "codes" you pirates live by. And we don't sail at sea, nor do we have a flag. Chio: [Long pause....] Well... Alright then, pirates. [Drinks] Still, I'd like to meet this Eric, you speak of. I'd like to see how he pits himself against our Captain. Jacko: That we agree on. And I would like to see how I could pit myself against that samurai woman, she looks really fi--- Chio: Chio HANDOU!!! [Flipped around and landed on his feet] Jacko: Reereereereereehahahaha... Very nicely done, perhaps there is hope for you yet, young fighter. Allow me to show you how I deal with your types. Jacko began to hold out both of his hands. In the blink of an eye, both of them ignited on fire. Chio cocked an eyebrow, having never seen such a technique before. Jacko: Pumpkin fist! [Smashed his fist into the floor, causing a great wave of fire to burst up from the ground along all the way until it came very close to Chio, who cartwheeled to the side to dodge it] Chio: Rankyaku! Chio Katana! [Kicked the air, and sent a large energy blade straight for Jacko, who leaned his head to the side, and made his body fall to the side, away from the blade.] Jacko rolled himself on his head and got to his feet. This was when he activated the flames in his hands once again. Jacko: Oh, I can tell this is going to be very fun, indeed. Prepare yourself!
