Above the Sky

Underground Demon
"What is this?" The purple-haired pirate of brown skin asked, holding a jolly roger design up as he looked to the sky above him. He then looked at the man standing before him as he shivered with fear. "Calm down, I ain't gonna' hurt ya. I only did it, cause yer crew didn't wanna join mine, now yer got no choice. But since we've gotten male dominance out of the way, yer ain't gotta be so scared." Bryant D. Kobe said, laying the flag back down in front of himself.

"The design is fine, yer go and eat with the rest of 'em and tell yer Captain' yer can leave! I can contact yer if I need ya'." Hand wagging, he dismissed the man from his presence. "And tell 'em don't try anything funny, I didn't kill 'em, cause I didn't want to. 'Member that!"

Head nodding, the man ran off as though his life depended on it, cause in actuality... it did. Looking back to the flag, Kobe chuckled and glanced at the man dressed in Marine clothing at his side. "This looks good don't it, Captain Geyer? Give me a report update on tha' Cloud Pirates since Gaia."

Clearing his throat, Captain Geyer held a piece of paper filled with writing on it. Before he could even begin reading a mental image of a destroyed Marine base flashed like a bad memory. Flesh crawling, Geyer shivered. "The Cloud Pirates infiltrated and looted Marine Base, shortly after laying waste to yet another island--the before claiming it as his own in a three-way battle against the Deadshot Pirates and the Animal Pirates. Both crews have also fallen under Kobe's command and as such, he's began to amass a fleet for unknown reasons."

Kobe smiled, "Aye!" Handing dragging across the jolly roger he turned to face Geyer slightly, "I think I should change the color of the clouds.. Nah it should be fine." Holding his hand out, a stream of cloud spat out between the two, dissolving to reveal three members of the Animal Pirates. "Yer should turn these guys in, Captain' Geyer. It'll fill in gaps from ye story in any way possible."

Geyer bit his bottom lip as he looked to each of the pirates laying in front of his feet. "Breakea, Onio, and Jefear, each worth 70,000,000." Geyer thought to himself, changing his view back to Kobe. "If you don't mind..." Geyer said, almost hesitant to speak before calling his most trusted men over to lift the three pirates up and carry them away. "Could you provide me with a speculated date of when you will release my brother, Kobe?"

Standing to his feet, his six-foot six-figure looked down on Geyer's own six-foot stance. Lifting his hand to his forehead, he prepared a salute to Geyer. "I will release Captain Brenten when your services have fully fulfilled!" He said in a less serious tone before giving him a Marine salute. "Now get out of 'ere before my company arrives.."

A single Marine approached Kobe holding a folded jacket in his arms as though it were an ancient relic. "We've bought you the jacket you've requested, Kobe sir!"

"OH? Yer got me Sakazuki's old Fleet-Admiral coat!" Reaching out, Kobe took the coat from his arms and held it out in front of himself to see it in all of its glory. "What tha' Marines'll do for their comrades! Betrayin' yer oath to ensure yer' comrade won't die. Y'all don't get paid 'nough for this shit! Clahahahahahaha!" Flipping the coat around, he noticed a signature. "He even signed this shit! This'll be gooder!" He said, flinging the coat over his shoulders as though it were his own.

Looking to Geyer and the rest of the Marines, he flicked his hand once more. "Get outta' 'ere! Scram why don't ya'! Yer damn grave robbers! I'll be in contact with yer too!"
