The Bastards [Shanks]✓

Marines

After almost a month she had finally completed Kids new arm, since she had spent some time figuring out and creating Killers new, fully functional mask that the man was seemingly in live with, and just as they have put it on him, she snaps around. "What is it?" "Marines. Many of them. Maybe even two ships worth." Kid smirks. "Let's test this baby out then." She nods and follows him out onto Deck. "Marines!! At 11 and 1 o'clock!", she says and Kid yells it out for the entire crew to hear. Quickly they have gathered on deck, all ready for the fight. "Can I have some fun with this?" Gear gives a grin to Kid, grabbing his arm and pointing it at the ship. "You boys better dodge." The crew members quickly move out of the way as she places Kids other hand around the new prosthetic. "Blast off." The laser beam shoots at the first ship, blowing it into pieces. Kid laughs loudly in excitement and sadistic glee. "What is this?!" "The Pacifista Laser. Just much much much stronger." Voice activated by yourself and I because I had to program it. The command 'Blast off'..." Another laser is shot, taking down one of the sails of the other ship. "... Along with the pressure of this position activates it. Otherwise out is just a perfect copy of what your arm would have been like, a bit more toughened up lookwhise. I mean.. since it is part of your public image I didn't want it to look like you just had grown a new arm." Kid smirks and let's go of his arm. The men ready themselves for the fun, quickly jumping aboard the enemy ship while Gear stays on deck, using Haki to kill those attacking her. "Don't you want to show off a bit?", Kid smirks at her. "If I do there won't be anyone left standing.", Gear laughs, snapping someone's neck. He smirks. "You underestimate us." "You underestimate me. I guess I could show you a hint of it." She had suddenly disappeared into thin air only to reappear at the railing, throwing an airpunch at the enemy ship after making sure all the crew members were not there anymore. Just in the blink of an eye the ship has been blasted to pieces and Gear snaps around, grabbing one of the marines and ripping him to shreds, literally. Within seconds she lays waste to those remaining and then calmly walks up to the speechless burly redhead. "You underestimate me, in fact, terribly." "How.." "My Haki has been trained by some of the strongest men in the world. Silver Rayleigh and Monkey D. Dragon amongst others. I've trained with fishmen. I trained myself. I am in charge of a total of three idiots. How do you think I got Ace out of Impel Down? How do you think I got all these scars? These aren't all work accidents... I trained my ass off to protect my boys and I could, it I wanted, kill an entire island with my Haki as it is right now." Gear stretches a bit, groaning. They all stare at her in awe. "Join my crew." Gear smiles. "I would if I wasn't already fighting for Dragon. And also.. you and my crush can't stand each other." Kid stares at her. "Are you into Trafalgar?" Laughing out loud Gear shakes her head while Killers eyes widen in realisation. "Redhair." Speaking out his nickname the woman sighs with a smile. "Damn that handsome idiot.." "WHAT?! YOU AND THE YONKO?!" Gear laughs. "I would like it to be that way but he likes to pull the 'I'm just an old man' card on me all the time. I'm only six years younger than him. The age gap between me and my little brothers is bigger than that and there are always people asking me if I am dating one of them. Gear rolls her eyes. "Why did you come here if you knew..?" "Again.. my curiosity about your prosthetic drew me in. That and the fact that I felt a bit bad about you losing your arm. You are young. You still have a lot of mistakes to make and having one arm less is a hindrance in your path to real infamousy. I wanted to help..." Kid stares at her. "Why would you want to help the enemy?" "You aren't my enemy. My enemies are all wearing white and blue uniforms and acting as if their actions were just. And you don't have to be like me to get along with me." She gently pats his arm. "I like you bunch, I respect you and I do see us as friends. Just because I am almost desperate to get into that idiots pants doesn't mean I have to hate you." Gear grins. "Anyways. My duty here is done. I'll be leaving you my number before I head out." Kid nods, grabbing her and pulling her close. Smiling she hugs the burly guy back. "You guys take care of yourselves and if you ever need me.. feel free to call me." "Where will you be going?" "To see if Mihawk can help me make that very handsome redhead of mine jealous again.", she grins, making them all laugh. "Good luck." "Thanks. I'll need it." She stops right in front of Killer. "I have to say you may have become my favourite person on this ship..", she says, making him smile under his mask. He pulls her close and, as the entire crew gasps in shock, he pulls off his mask, shielding his face from their sight with his long hair, but not even remotely from her. Gear grins at him. "You already look a lot healthier now that you can actually eat properly." He presses his lips to her cheek as she laughs happily. "If the idiotic redhead still doesn't want you I'll be waiting right here.", he whispers and Gear smiles with a blush. "I'll take that into account.", she mumbles back, smiling. Her green eyes look up into his shadowed blue ones. "Take care, alright? And don't do stupid things. If you even think as much as you are running into trouble you WILL call me, is that clear?" Killer nods. Slightly. "I would kiss you right now but we both know that wouldn't end too well.", he says, this time loud enough for others to hear and for them to gape while Gear simply snickers. "You could still try. I would probably dodge but you can try." He smiles widely. "I'll keep that challenge for next time around." Sliding his mask back on he straightens up his hand still lingering on her back. "I'll miss you too.." She notes down a number and places it into his hand, then pulls a small metallic chip from her pocket. "This is my vivre card. It's a bit special in a way since it also allows me to find you. Keep it always close to you. Maybe have it added into your mask or something.. and this is my number. Just a call is enough." She places the piece of paper into his hand, then sighs. "I really didn't expect to be so fond of you guys. See you around." They all grin at her as she climbs onto the railing and whistles. "Kai!" Jumping off the side of the ship she lands safely on her creations back as he shoots down from the sky and then disappears skywards, waving them goodbye until the clouds obscure her from view.
"So.. you have a thing for her, hu?", Kid asks and Killer shrugs. "And you don't?" The redhead freezes before turning bright red. "I DON'T!" "Good then I can have her for myself if the Yonko finally slips up badly enough to scare her away."
