(Years Ago.....)

A young woman named Tory sang at a club for Marines, playing guitar, was her little brother, Victor. This club was one where Marines stationed would frequently visit after a long day of work if only to hear her sing.

After their performance, the two went backstage to pack up.

Tory: You were great!

Victor: Was I?

Tory: Did you like playing guitar?

Victor: I only like playing with you.

Tory:(giggles)

Tory: Then let's keep playing and maybe take the shooting hobby a small break.

Victor places a hand on his gun, thinking about her request, before letting go of it to accept it.

Tory:(giggles) Looks like today's horoscope was right. A good change occurred!

But their little song gig didn't last forever. One day, while on the way home, a few of the drunk Marines tried harassing Tory. The moment one of them grabbed her wrist, three loud bangs echoed.

Three bodies were dropped dead, in front of the Vice-Admiral who was about to stop it herself.

Petra:...

Tory: V-Victor...

Victor:(tilts head) What?

There were no more excuses, Victor had to be punished, but Petra saw the boy's talent first hand, thus she made a deal with Tory. Victor would be disciplined at a Marine base. She even offered Tory a role in a traveling Marine performance group, where she could sing across the sea.

She accepted.

(Present Day)

Victor: "Pisces Caliber"!

(BANG, BANG)

He swung his gun and fired two bullets which curved in the air, heading toward the side of Petra's head.

Two rods of Bamboo grew from the floor and blocked the bullets. Petra then chopped the bamboo shoots with her bamboo sword. Before they hit the ground, she spun around and kicked them in Victor's direction.

Flipping over the bamboo, Victor landed on Petra's desk and fired again.

Victor: "Taurus Caliber"!!

Firing several bullets, which flew side by side in a square shape to make something akin to a small fist, Petra's bamboo wall shattered against that attack, but upon making contact with her chest, was stopped in their tracks by her Haki.

Victor: Tch...

Reloading his Zody, Victor flipped off Petra's desk as she grew several bamboo pillars.

Deciding to take a different approach. One that demanded slightly more effort, Petra approached Victor.

Petra: Tsk, tsk, tsk...

Petra: I haven't even begun to try. Why don't you give up whilst you still can?

Victor reloaded his final bullet and turned the chamber of his gun. Rushing towards Petra, he dodges the first swing of her bamboo sword.

(Woosh)

He goes to kick her in the side of the head, but the attack is blocked by several bamboo shoots.

Victor: "Scorpio Minor Caliber"!!

He fires two bullets as he swings his arm. These bullets were infused with the element of water. Making a path of water, one bullet curved behind Petra as the second bullet ricocheted off the first, and curved into Petra's shoulder.
