[Running toward Rinji, her sword sheathed and scurrying as fast as she could in her fatigued state] Usagi: Captain, I know you can hear me! I don't know what happened to you, but you need to change back to normal now! Usagi: Rinji, stop it! Chio: Captain! [Still being carried by Ellis on her back.] Rinji! What the hell happened to you? Is that your Cheshire Cat form? What's going on? Usagi: Chio, two things... Chio: Yeah? Usagi: First, who is that carrying you? Ellis: Hey, I'm Ellis [Eyes never leaving the bestial Rinji] Nice to meet you. Usagi: Likewise, alright, second, I don't think Rinji remembers us. Chio: Yeah, I kind of picked that up. Chio: Oh crap! Move! Move! Move! Move! Rinji: Cult members... salad bars are ready to serve.... small price of... soul... [Collapsed] Chio: Whoa... what the hell was in those shots? Ellis: Hydromorphone.... Usagi: Good... that was... wow... Glory: Alright! That was awesome! We totally kicked their asses, didn't we?! Chris: You didn't even do anything! Aphro: Oh my God, Hanuman! What happened to you? You look like you've been through hell at least three times! Hanuman: Hanuman fine! Aphro: No dice! I have to at least put disinfectant on these cuts you have, you really shouldn't have excerted so much! [Starting to spray and rub stuff on Hanuman under his fur and get on his nerves. Hanuman: Hanuman bash Aphro! Aphro leave Hanuman alone! Hanuman handle cuts and bruises! Aphro: Alright alright! Chris: Alright, guys! We're headed in now! Let's storm the building, search every single floor, and no matter what, no one gets left behind! Let's go! Sakura: Chio, how unfortunate you could not join us for battle. Usagi: Yes it is a shame [Interrupts Chio from speaking.] But stop talking to him! [Give Sakura the demon eyes.] Chris: What a minute, where the hell is No Beard?! Aphro: Oh, he and the marine went into the building. Chris: Say WHAT?!?! That was when something big burst through the side of the building, fire and glass blasting everywhere. All of them widened their eyes to see what it was, and none of them believed it. Polatsu: [Burst through the door of the office labeled "Business Auction Facility" Former Captain Jossu! We desire-- [Saw that it was just a small man at the desk.] Oh, is Jossu in? Man: Do you have an appointment? Polatsu: Oh, well... no, can we set something up for sometime soon? Man: Ummm well Captain Jossu is in a meeting at the moment. Polatsu: Damn, these meetings take forever. Man: I can set something up for you with tomorrow morning. Polatsu: Oh, well that's not so bad, and there's no way that you can move it up to sometime tonight? Man: No I'm afraid, not-- what are you doing? Man: Sir! You can't go in there! Polatsu: We don't have an appointment! No Beard: I'm not a marine. Man: Hold it, sir! [Pulled out a gun, and as he saw No Beard did not slow his approach, he fired.] Polatsu: Francis?! Jossu: That was 1,300,000,000 belli, is that all? Is that all I hear? Going once? Going twice? SOLD! Jossu: Thank you so much, Buyer #4. You have just purchased the greatest devil fruit you will ever see in your entire life. This fruit is one of the rarest types this world has ever seen in its entire creation. White-face: That is why I am going to stop you right there, Jossu. Jossu: I'm sorry, what? Did you suddenly decide you needed a pay-raise? White-face: No, no, I decided quite a while ago that you are not an influence anymore. In fact, you were barely one to begin with. Without blind luck, you are nothing more than a gnat. Jossu: What?! Who the hell are you to say such things to me! Motana! How dare you say-- White-face: Kohohohohohoho! Motana... amazing you still didn't see that I just got Mikana, your last name, and changed it just a little bit. White-face: Kohohohohoho! I just needed you to reach the very top of your happiness, and I needed an audio audience. [He began to walk toward Jossu] Jossu: K...Kola?! Lieutenant Commander Kola?!?!?! Kola: Kohohohohohoho! It was worth it to see the look on your face, is this truly the face of true happiness turning to sheer terror? Kohohohohoho! Jossu: Wait! Kola! Please! I'll give you half! That's well over 600 million belli! Kola: Oh, you've done so much for me already, Captain Jossu [Kept approaching] You brought me the greatest thing I could ever ask for. The furry little pirate I've been waiting for all this time. However, that is all you were good for, I'm afraid. Now, [Grabbed onto the devil fruit and took it from Jossu.] Jossu: What?! NO! You can't-- Kola: Oh, but I can! Now, this will be over soon [took a very large bite out of the fruit, and jumped onto Jossu's desk] Kohohohohohohohooo!!! No Beard: What the hell happened here?! Where is the devil fruit?! Nikk: I-i-it's... gone. Nikk: It was probably one of the worst deaths I've seen since I was part of the Skeleton Bros. The guy named Kola began to--- Rinji: Shush, Nikk, I know what happened here. [He was fully conscious now, sober even as he saw the pattern of slice marks on the face of Jossu's dead body.] It's a message. Rinji: He was sending a message to me, he's coming for me, and more than likely the rest of you as well. Glory: But what about everything else? The hell happened to char up this room so bad? Nikk: I was just getting to that. After the devil fruit, killed this guy, and carved up his face, he grew fiery scales and became gigantic. He breathed fire through the windows, and flew straight out of here. Chris: Well, that explains the dragon we saw outside. Rinji: Dragon?! Chris: Well, on a better note, you're naked. Rinji: [Turned his gaze over to Chris, and then looked at his furry body.] Yeah... yeah, I am.
