The Archers Mark (on hold)

The Bargain

Marco's pov.

I watched with amusement as the two remainders bickered. It actually eased my mind about Thatch and myself.

However when I saw The Knifed haired woman grab the Archer and send the Archer hurdling towards Pop's I lost all amusement and was filled with pure anger.

I looked up and watched Pop's as he prepared to catch the Archer not toss her aside like he had done with the other.

As she spun in the air I was able to hear "Fuuuuuccccck!" come from the Archer. I saw an arrow come full speed at me and grabbed it. I clenched my fingers around the arrow quickly,snapping the shaft.

In the split second I took to snap the shaft. The woman had quickly fallen with the help of Haki and landed gracefully.

She tried to stand but was forced back down as the pale over eager knife wilder jumped at Pops using the Archer as a bounce board and attacked openly holding her head down as if to stab him with her hair.

However Pops swatted her aside with ease, that actually caused me to laugh bit. To think she went through all that and still got swatted away.

I could tell Pops was annoyed by her actions by the way he had just handled her.

I watched as she flew off trying to grab something, anything to keep her on the ship when finally I heard the sound of the ocean swallowing her and knew it would take her a while till we saw her next actions.

I turned my attention to the stumbling Archer, for someone as graceful as I thought her to be it sure was taking her some time to get over the dizziness. I almost wanted to tease her but stopped myself as I heard Pop's laugh. "A little dizzy are you?"

She nodded and walked over to the edge of where the whales head began and plopped down crossing her legs across her body and looking around the wide open deck as if she already owned our large ship.

I had to admit I was awestruck with how comfortable she seemed if it where me I would be on edge the whole time expecting anything.

Hold on that may also show how much strength she had or thought she had at least I doubt she could beat me or even hope at taking on Pops in his prime, but still if she was so cocky like this, could she perhaps back it up?

Probably not. The chances of islanders actually being this strong is highly unlikely.

Then again when I was fighting her she seemed as if she were holding back. I just need to figure out her strength. But wait this doesn't matter what does is the damage i'll have to catalog in our log book.

So with out hesitation I looked across our deck and saw that there was little to no damage excluding the hole I accidentally caused, a passed out Thatch and the array of arrows and a stranded wooden arched bow that laid strewn on the deck from the spinning Archer.

Rolling my eyes, I looked back to the Archer as I heard "Alright ass face once he's done kicking your ass i'ma kick your ass!" I smiled then watched as she begun to turn and twist looking for her I believe comrade.

I'm sure she said something else but I couldn't hear anything.

However as I watched the red fabric of her cloak, which by the way did no good in showing off the rest of her features, expect a brief glimpse of gold or quick smile meant nothing.

I begin to really wonder why was this all seeming familiar? This bothered me I wanted to know and I couldn't place it The flag, the cloaks, it was all on the tip of my tongue.

However I sighed all my ideas away.

I then watched The Archer hold out her hand for the woman with daggers for hair, the dagger haired woman rejected the Archer, The Archer returned the favor by flipping her off. I'm sure it was barely noticed by the Archer because how smoothly the Archer did it.
