| She had done it, finally that Bounty Hunter guy had come through for her and now she was officially one of them. No more waiting anxiously brushing up on her Waserotapa forms in hopes that she hadn't been tricked yet again. But now, now she had a pouch full of more Niikos than she knew what to do with and all it cost was a Fruit she had no intention on eating. She liked knowing how to swim thank you very much especially if it was a potential gambit that she had no idea what would come of it. Well no, she knew he had been nice enough to tell her that she had stumbled upon a Logia the rarest of the Devil Fruits. Part of Bounty Hunter 101 was knowing your fruits, well knowing what they should kinda look like more likely she was just lucky that he happened to know that particular fruit having killed someone who had it a month prior. But that wasn't the point she would spend her hard earned...kinda hard earned Niikos on a couple of things.
Most importantly was turning her raft into a Waver like any self respecting Kakegoe Island native would. But that was expensive due to the Dials involved, thankfully now she had cash so she could afford such things. "Excuse me, I wish to purchase some Dials? she said once she got to the specific shop which sold them. It was pricy but she had specific ones she wanted, no needed and she finally had the coin to purchase them. Once she was done with that it was off to the shipyard to buy a raft and outfit it with what she needed and then she could set off. *********************** - Past is Past:

| She would be answered by a middle aged man shortly after from behind stacks, however making no noise only to be noticed shortly after to be set in a chair seemingly suspended by dials producing focused jets of air beneath him. A close observer would see the thin legs only showing his likely inability to walk. "Wanna buy yourself some dials huh? Well you could call me a specialist on the subject of selling dials," He grinned wide. A lie really, he was just a part timer really, and the name tag showed it. "So what sorta dials are you after?" | |

| "Wonderful, as I am in the need of some. Calypso said politely before getting straight down to business as she knew exactly what she wanted. Being a rigger of the Kukinorite descent she was fairly knowledgeable about Dials and their effects after all a good portion of her eventual craft would involve their use in upgrading ships for now though she would keep her innovations to her personal items. "Okay I would like, 4 Small Jet Dials with 3 notches and 1 Humanoid Ball Dial with 3 notches" she said pulling out a small list with the dials she needed on it and would look expectantly at the shopkeeper. She knew it was quite a bulk order, luckily she had come into some money and was able to purchase them despite most individuals not having nearly the amount of Niikos on their person as she did. *********************** - Past is Past:

| He would listen and watch her intently as she was sharing what she needed whilst mentally noting down everything and working out the prices and locations of said dials so he might be able to fetch them quickly. "Four small jet dials, three notches, and one ball dial, also three notches." Despite the evidence to the contrary he then stood out from the chair just to stand upon it, kicking the back of it as it rose up another two feet into the air so he could reach a box at the top of one of the stacks. "That's gonna total you 65,700 Niikos. You sure you got enough?" Once the dials were in hand, he kicked the chair as it descended once more, and sat back in it whilst it carried him over to the counter where he set the dials down. | |

| "Yep I'm sure." Calypso said while counting out Niikos notes and when she got the proper amount she would place them on the table, truthfully she was more comfortable with getting rid of the cash in exchange for items and while Niikos were very light it was more so cumbersome to travel with so much money on her. If she however invested them in customizing her waver that on the other hand would be a far more transportable source of wealth. Not to mention the added bonus of a rather useful form of transportation especially if she wanted to get off of this island and begin her bounty hunting career. "Thank you, these are going to be a big help. You have a nice day." she said while pocketing the jet dials and once she was done would pick up the Ball dial and carry it out of the shop with it on her back. She'd quickly begin to speed off towards the shipyard using her Trick Speed to move quickly through the alleys and sure enough she would get there seeing as the shops were usually near the shipyard due to people coming and going usually wishing to buy or sell things. "Excuse me, how much is a Raft?" she said when she spotted a store selling the very thing she was looking for. *********************** - Past is Past:

| A woman dressed in a garment that hugged her figure and accentuated her curves turned to the new voice, her black curls bouncing "Is tha' right?" She eyed the girl with a Dial on her back before setting her broom down and leading her into the shop "We go' tons of rafts 'ere. Small, big and in between. You name it, odds are we go' it." She motioned to the rafts lining the walls of the shop inside as she moved behind a counter "So? What're ya lookin fer in terms of a raft? Speed? What little durability a raft can have? Or maybe something tha' can be customized?" She arched a delicate eyebrow as she spoke, looking at Calypso expectantly. *********************** ~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |

| "Just a regular raft, I guess if I had any specifications it would be for one that can easily converted into a Waver." Calypso said, not exactly looking for anything special she knew enough that she was able to potentially customize her raft to her own specifications and she didn't plan on it being a static thing but rather something that she would gradually improve overtime. "If I can get one, that'd be great really." she said almost impatiently though it was mainly because she was eager to make her own custom Waver than anything else, it was sort of any Kukinorite's dream to make such a thing after all it was the only way one could travel comfortably in the Sky Sea. Well personal travel that is seeing as their were ships capable of flight but seeing as her crew was only herself at the moment she didn't see the point of buying something bigger. "The sooner I can get this done, the sooner I can head down to Northern Abyssal and make the first real steps to my journey through the world." *********************** - Past is Past:

| The girl nodded and moved off to the side in a whirl of her skirts. She moved a raft from the wall with a strength that belied her dainty form. She hefted the thin and set it down before the other woman, running her hand across the surface of the wood "Sleek and streamlined, perfect for coursing through the skies. Good for a Waver. And there is ample room for the addition of those Dials of yours." She looked at the large one on her back and raised an eyebrow "That'll be 150 Niikos. Do you need help carrying it around? You look like you have your hands full..." *********************** ~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |

| "I appreciate the gesture but no I'm good thank you. I really just need a flat place to work but I'm pretty strong even if I don't look like it." Calypso said with nod before placing the dial in the raft and then lifting the raft on her own and holding it above her head. After moving slowly so she knew what sort of balance she had she would head to one of the piers and commence working on fixing the raft up into a waver. It didn't take too long as she converted it from it's normal raft like appearance into one similar to a surfboard albeit much wider. Not to mention certain parts had the Dial attachments namely the sides and of course the back, she debated whether or not to put a sail and thought better of it as she didn't want to affect it's balance. When she was done she admired it for a bit before nodding and picking it up again.
Now to find a boat to the mainland... she said looking around and hopefully spotting one that was about to embark that she could pay to get on. If not then she was stuck here for the foreseeable future seeing as it was rather sunny out with no sign of clouds in the sky. *********************** - Past is Past:

| Almost on queue to the wondering aloud about the boat to the mainland there would be a commotion ahead, shouting from another pier as a small merchants ship was departing. "Get back! Get back here with my ship!" An older woman was screaming in distress, with a small crowd behind joining the shouting.
"Shit. Shit. Shit. I over slept," Another frantic voice would come from behind Calypso, booted feet hurrying down the pier and coming to a stumbling stop level with her. Stood nearly tumbling over into the sea was a shaggy looking young man, his shirt on backwards and hair a mess displaying he likely only just got dressed, and the cuts to his shorts and even visibly to his leg only showed it was likely a rush that brought him to look such a mess. Seeing the girl's waver he would turn, drawing the cutlass sword, also accidentally cutting the holster from his belt, and aimed it at her. "I need that waver before my friends get too far away with our loot," | |

| Calypso would see the commotion and would frown initially deciding not to get involved as it wasn't her problem nor was she getting paid for such charity work. However on closer observation she did note it was a merchant vessel and thus would be most likely her ticket off of this island, still she remained rooted to her current position. If they wanted their ship back they would most likely put up a bounty for the ones who stole it allowing her to swoop in for both profit and personal benefit. Unfortunately for her she would be dragged into the conflict unnecessarily by this low-life who pulled a cutlass on her. she would turn to look at him while assuming a ready stance though she made no move of attacking preferring to wait for him to make the first move. "Are you sure you want to do this. Not that I'd let you walk away since you seem like my information source for where your friends are heading but still my information gathering doesn't have to be painful." Calypso said bargaining for the most part as she didn't want to fight if she didn't have to though most individuals like the sort she was currently facing only knew how to get things one way. She was still very casual though completely unruffled by the fact that he was brandishing a blade at her, and if not that she wanted to banter she would of disarmed him while he was still trying to draw it. She'd actually shift into her stance with deliberate slowness making a show of resting one of her arms on her raised leg and stretching a bit even though her eyes never wavered from her presumed robber. - Spoiler:
5 P.T till Idle Stance comes into effect.
Name: Wáṣerotapa Classification: Fighting Style Rank: D-rank Class: Offensive Range: Short-Mid Range.
Description: The Kukinorite Clan now have a unique method of close combat fighting, as the originator Jazz D. Kukinorite trained the use of her body to incorporate balance exercises along with various types of kicks. The reason this combat is fighting is that it makes no use of their arms for anything other than positioning the legs are both the Kukinorite's attacking and defensive force, with their body being used for momentum while her arms are used to either steady her balance to execute punishing kicks and front kicks or to rapidly gather momentum for brutal spin kicks. Wáṣerotapa contains a mixture of kicking types ranging from the basic four (Roundhouse, Front, Side & Back), while including advanced kicking types (Axe, Butterfly, Calf, Crescent, Hook, Heel, Vertical) and those which most consider risky in life or death matches (Flying, Multiple, Scissor, Spinning, Drop). Upon this styles introduction into the Kukinorite Clan it has incorporated stomps, sweeps, knees, cartwheels, flips and dives into to increase its versatility and the momentum an individual is capable of generating to exert more force to their opponent. In addition to the balance exercises the Kukinorite is forced to constantly do flexibility exercises to ensure their ability to stretch and contort their body more freely to avoid counter attacks as well as execute kicks which would throw one not used to constantly hampering their balance by throwing out kicks. When utilizing this fighting style along side Chakra Skates the Kukinorite is capable of preforming more advanced aerial kicks by riding along air currents to sustain their momentum and "step" on air to rapidly alter the trajectory and momentum built up in preparation for a kick.
Name: Altered Perception Classification: Taijutsu (Gravity Child Only) Rank: D-rank Class: Passive Range: Self
Description: Becoming known to the world, the Gravity Children are geniuses, however unknown to the outside world, this higher intellect is something crafted not naturally born. Even though their intellect is not something they were naturally born with, they do fall short compared to other geniuses. This fact is becoming most apparent in the way the Gravity Children make use of their intellect. Using their intellect to affect the way they perceive the world, the Gravity Children perceive the world as if it was moving slower, all speeds capping at S-rank are perceived as moving 1-rank slower.
Name: Wáṣerotapa: Idle Stance Classification: Taijutsu Rank: B-rank Class: Defensive/Supplementary Range: Self
Description: One of the 5 Stances in Wáṣerotapa and is perhaps Jazz's most favored one. It is formed by raising one knee to its maximum height. The facing can be either to the front or the side, relative to the opponent. This stance is used as a platform for frontal kicks (Front, Axe, Crescent, Hook) as well as horizontal kicks (Side, Roundhouse, Vertical) the former recieving a +1 to their speed while the latter recieve a +1 to their damage all other kicks preformed in this stance recieve a -1 rank penalty to both their speed and damage. It is also frequently employed defensively to deflect strikes aimed low to middle height the latter being able to deflect the damage to the side while the former is always used alongside Stomp with that specific Wáṣerotapa recieving a +1 to both speed and power when used in such a way. When the user does not possess any speed tiers this technique has an activation delay as the user moves their body into the right positioning however with additional skill the delay is reduced while if the user has B-rank or above speed their is no delay and the stance is changed immediately. This delay is halved when switching from a stance into no stance at all due to not needing precise positioning when lacking a stance. Skill Level - Activation Delay (P.T) D - 6 C - 5 B - 4 A - 3 S - 2

| "I-I mean it! Just... just move! Sh-she's getting further away! Sh-she can't leave me behind!" The man was only getting more and more frantic, hardly even looking at Calypso herself as he watched the boat gradually drifting away. When he finally swung, face contorted in peculiar look of frustration. The swing of the sword alone was off, he was sloppy, almost making belief that... he didn't know what he was doing. Even as the first swing missed due to a slight mis-balance, he was able to stomp his foot to ground himself enough to swing and strike at her midriff. | |

| "Hm, if you leave me no choice. I guess I'll just have to hurt you." Calypso said ignoring his outburst and then pushing off the floor with her leg to gain enough height to hop above his approaching sword swing before stomping downward with her formerly raised leg in order to disarm him while putting some power behind it. If it was successful before he could regain his bearing she would use her other leg to knee him in the crotch, with a bit higher strength so she could make sure he was down for the count, and spin out of the way of his plummeting body if her strike connected. She wouldn't necessarily let up if he wasn't knocked unconcious from the sheer pain she would move a bit before using her foot to push him on his back and following up with another stomp while he was on the ground in the same location. She knew with her waver she probably could easily catch up to the ship in the distance after all she had spent good money on Jet Dials specifically for the point of being able to reach startling speeds. Luckily in comparison to a ship a waver had a much quicker acceleration speed so she was banking on that being enough to catch up to it in time. - Spoiler:
Bounty Hunter on an Island = All Normal Tiers = Tier- Stream Traversal = Tier+ Strength with Lower Legs Leapt off the ground with D-rank+ Strength. Waserotapa: Stomp used with same strength down on sword (Second time will cause him to bounce five ft off the floor) Waserotapa: Knee used with C-rank+ Strength, due to aiming for crotch and opponent being male he sustains C-rank damage & is stunned for 4 P.T
Name: Sea-legs & Landlubbers Classification: Taijutsu Rank: D-rank Class: Passive Range: Self
Description: Pirates are practically born to be at sea, it's evident in everything they do a Pirate doesn't get seasick at least skilled Pirates don't, thus they have an innate immunity to sea sickness based equivalent to their skill level. But more importantly Pirates have a unique relationship with Land, you see at Sea Pirates are notorious for possessing Tier's exceeding most Shinobi (Tier+) while on Islands they possess Tiers on par with Shinobi (Base Tier), however on Continents they aren't as skilled kind of awkward actually possessing Tiers that just below normal (Tier-). At least that's how it goes for Pirates, in regards to Privateers, Bounty Hunters & Buccaneers well they have their own nuances, which are listed below: Type of Piracy - Locations (Tier+, Base Tier, Tier-) Privateer - Islands, At Sea, Continents Bounty Hunter - Continents, At Sea, Islands Buccaneer - Base Tiers Regardless of Location
Name: Stream Traversal Classification: Taijutsu Rank: D-Rank Class: Supplementary Range: Self
Description: Pirates are generally known for being fairly strong and they need to be to fight against the components of the ship and even more so when it comes to swimming. With this technique the pirate has equivalent D-Rank- strength tiers on their upper body however their lower body counts as having Tier+ as a Pirate is made more for swimming than normal feats of strength. In addition, this technique details the speed that a pirate is capable of swimming depending on the type of water that they are swimming through, causing them to move faster or slower depending on the state of the water. State of Water - Movement Alteration Against Current - Tier- Turbulent - Tier Base Calm - Tier+ With Current - Tier++
Name: Wáṣerotapa: Bounce Classification: Taijutsu Rank: D-rank Class: Supplementary Range: Short
Description: Drawing from the principles of the Wáṣerotapa fighting style this is one of the most basic types of footwork learnable in which the user shifts their foot rolling off the ball of their heel onto the tips of their toes before using that momentum to essentially bounce of a solid surface. The object of this is to propell one's body using the least amount of momentum and force possible relying solely on the muscles in one's calf and foot to launch one upward. Through practice the user is able to use this as a basis for some of the more advanced moved but primarily it is used to extend the user's jumping ability without the use of strength tiers. This is due to the way the user rises upward and when falling down due to gravity downward kicks are given more force depending on how high the user was prior to dropping down. Rank - Jump Distance (ft) - Str Tier Modifier - Height Dmg Modifier D - 1 - 3 - 1x C - 2 - 6 - 1x B - 3 - 9 - 1x A - 4 - 12 - 2x S - 5 - 15 - 2x
Name: Wáṣerotapa: Stomp Classification: Taijutsu Rank: C-rank Class: Supplementary Range: Contact-Short
Description: The second offensive strike of Wáṣerotapa, Stomp acts like a finisher which can be preformed in two ways the first is by using it on an opponent essentially stomping on their head or shoulder dealing C-rank physical damage in order to propel oneself upward into a backflip while simultaneously planting the opponent 2 feet into the ground unless they tense their body upon impact with C-rank strength. The second way is by stomping on a prone opponent who is laying on the ground dealing C-rank physical damage to them while causing them to essentially bounce off the ground into the air unless they tense their body right before impact with C-rank strength. In the case of the former if they opponent tenses their body the distance the user is propelled is double while when stomping on prone opponents they are dealt additional physical elemental damage due to smacking into the surface they are laying on (I.e the ground would deal D-rank physical earth release damage while a C-rank block of ice would deal C-rank physical ice release damage etc). Increased tiers only increases the lethality and use of this technique as it makes use of the user's tiers to increase the distance the user is propelled into the air after stomping on an opponent. Strength Tier - Stomp Jump Distance (Standing/Prone) N/A - 3ft/1ft D - 5ft/3ft C - 10ft/5ft B - 15ft/10ft A - 20ft/15ft S - 25ft/20ft
Name: Wáṣerotapa: Knee Classification: Taijutsu Rank: C-rank Class: Offensive/Supplementary Range: Mid
Description: The first offensive strike of Wáṣerotapa, Knee acts like an opener and a means to temporarily incapacitate opponents so as to buy enough time for more powerful kicks. The user brings their back leg upward aiming for either the head, stomach or crotch, each target being a weak-point this technique dealing C-rank physical damage. When striking the head if the opponent doesn't block or close their eyes with Reaction equal to the speed of the knee they are blinded for 1 post (Total). When striking the stomach if the opponent doesn't possess C-rank endurance tiers or do not require breathing they are left gasping for air wasting their next post due to sucking in air. When striking the crotch if the opponent crumples to their knees due to the pain unless they have Pain Tolerance (female only) in which case they remain prone for 2 posts (total) if female or 4 posts (total) if male due to the pain preventing them from moving their legs and risk aggravating the injury. If they do move before the duration is up they are experience C-rank physical pain each post (total) until they can recover.

| The man dropped like a brick from the strike to the crotch, eyes rolled back and practically foaming at the mouth. He wasn't much of a fighter it would seem. From the position he fell the marking on his neck was more obvious, looking like an oddly circular bruise by the shoulder nothing like any sort of inplanted marking, and not any damage Calypso had done herself. Meanwhile the merchants ship was gradually getting further away, driven only by the wind catching the sail. | |

| Her crimson eyes would look down at the man knocked unconcious below her before she would sigh and pull out a note before placing the sticky paper and place it on his forehead just to let people know that he had been brought down by her. Usually she would of branded him but she was in a rush and though she wasn't good with names she never forgot a face so woe come to any fellow Bounty Hunter who might try to poach him. She would skate over to The Monsoon and hop onto it steadying herself and then pressing the pedals causing the bottom two Jet Dials to release the collected air. This would propel her waver forwards at high speeds and when it ran out the top two would expel theirs while the bottom two refueled. It was a recycleable system which was pretty eco-friendly which was a big thing the Kukinorite had in mind as while sure they forcibly took from Nature and worshiped Susanoo for the most part they did hold respect for the planet that they lived on. - Spoiler:
You never said what size of ship it was? So I don't know how much the Merchant ship can accelerate per Turn or it's max speed. Either way The Monsoon is a Waver therefore it can accelerate 2-ranks Each Turn. Meaning at the end of this turn it will be moving at C-rank Speed, at the end of the next Turn it'l be moving at A-rank speeds and after that it'll be moving at it's max of S-rank Speed.

| The ship, a sloop, was only drifting further away, yet as she would be flying on the Waver towards it the merchants sloop would only get closer and closer. It wasn't too much to realise whoever stole it likely didn't quite know how to steer a ship as it the mast was jerking each time the wind might shift the slightest inch. Seeming to get steady enough, whoever had taken the ship left the sail alone and wandered off to steer, all the while unaware they were followed, whilst struggling in getting past a C-ranked speed, having been moving at that speed since leaving the dock. | |

| Calypso would quickly catch up to the merchant vehicle and lean backwards so she could angle her waver so that the top portion jutted out of the water and upon the next burst of air would cause her waver to launch upward. Thus while airborne she would try to land it on the deck and hop off before it landed while moving at D-rank speeds. The smell of sea water and the turbulence that was the ocean invigorated her and now she knew she could fight much more effectively now in comparison to a moment before when she was on that island. If she was successful she would look around mainly to see who was attracted by the sound of her waver landing on the deck and spread her hands outward in a somewhat placating manner. "Hey, if you could just turn this ship around that'd be great? That way I don't have to beat up people for free and you don't have to be, well beat up and bloody." Calypso would project her voice so that she could be heard over the water and the moving ship, hopefully they'll listen to reason though if they didn't she was prepared to mop the floor with everyone. Was she a bit cocky...maybe a little bit. - Spoiler:
Bounty Hunter on at Sea = All Normal Tiers = Base Tier

| Beneath the deck there was the clear sounds of thumping once Calypso was on top of the boat, repetitive and non-stop, yet too unlike foot steps. This briefly stopped however when she was calling out to the boat thief, only to suddenly resume much faster and more frantic. On the opposite side was the slow steps of boots against wood, soon accompanied by slow clappings. "I'd say congratulations but... let's face it I made a multitude of mistakes. First off I obviously didn't captivate a very strong thrall to stop you, that was like... 2 seconds max. I hope you didn't break him too much, he had a cute little daughter," The woman from below deck fully appeared, dressed like a typical 'island girl' and not obviously armed. "You didn't put Daddy in prison did you? Oh! Or did you put him in a coffin? Ah it doesn't matter. So what, you here to steal the ship for yourself or what? ... you're not part of the group so you're obviously not after my target. So how about we play like nice women, you help me get over to the next island, I get off with the guy below, and you can carry on the rest of the way with the ship and cargo," | |

| "Target huh, could it be that your also a Bounty Hunter, it's unfortunate I merely wish to retrieve this ship and of course the person who stole it. Which...judging by your statement must be either your target or you." Calypso said with a sigh before skating forward at B-rank speeds only to quickly dash following up with a crescent kick aimed at the girls head. Hopefully that would be that, and she would get knocked out so she could round her up along with her target and figure out the real story from an official source. Until then though she couldn't afford to pull back her punches or rather in this case wouldn't it be kicks? Either way she kept her eyes open for any tricks noting how the girl had mentioned thrall thus she must be capable of brainwashing people to some degree which was the whole reason she decided to lead with the kick rather than use something like a knee. The result being if it landed that the girl would sustain a bleeding head wound aimed at her forehead thus the gash would most likely bleed into her eyes removing her vision as a factor and further increasing the chance that Calypso would get out of this scrap harm free. - Spoiler:
Dash + Crescent Kick (Inward) = B-rank Slicing Dmg (Hits with AT), to inflict C-rank Bleed Dmg to forehead and knocks the girl back 10 ft if not blocked or 5 ft if blocked while approaching at B-rank Speeds.
Name: Wáṣerotapa: Dash Classification: Taijutsu Rank: C-rank Class: Supplementary Range: Contact (Kick), Short-Mid (Knockback)
Description: Drawing from the principles of the Wáṣerotapa fighting style this is one of the most basic types of movement in which the user dashes forward before kicking using the added momentum from the distance covered in order to land a kick which when it lands even when blocked pushes an opponent back a set distance to leave them open for a follow up kick unless they possess C-rank strength to tense their body before the moment of impact. When that happens unless they have an additional C-rank counter knockback/balancing technique they still slide back from the force of the kick. Increased tiers only increases the lethality and use of this technique as it makes use of the user's tiers to increase the strength required to resist being knocked back of the user. Rank - Distance Covered by Dash (ft) - Knockback in Ft (Blocked) D - 1 - 10 (5) C - 2 - 20 (10) B - 3 - 30 (15) A - 4 -40 (20) S - 5 -50 (25)
Name: Wáṣerotapa: Crescent Kick Classification: Taijutsu Rank: B-rank Class: Offensive Range: Short
Description: The crescent kick, also referred to as a 'swing' kick, has some similarities to a hook kick, and is sometimes practiced as an off-target "snap" front kick. The leg is bent like the front kick, but the knee is pointed at a target to the left or right of the true target. The energy from the snap is then redirected, whipping the leg into an arc and hitting the target from the side at crashing ground speeds. This is useful for getting inside defenses and striking the side of the head or for knocking down hands to follow up with a close range strike adding a +1 to the speed of a Knee/Stomp. When utilizing crescent kicks, it is common to keep the knee extended to increase the difficulty using one's abdominal muscles to hold the leg in place (Str). This also increases the momentum of the foot and can generate more force, though it takes longer to build up the speed (post's total). Crescent kicks have two main variations which depends on what the user is targeting these are: Inward crescent hits with the inside edge of the foot. Its arch is clockwise for the left leg and counter-clockwise for the right leg. Force is generated by both legs' hip abduction. The inward variant is employed to "wipe" an opponents hand off of one's wrist breaking it if they do not possess B-rank or above defense tiers to prevent them from making hand seals until it is healed. Outward crescent hits with the outside edge of the foot to deal B-rank slicing damage as the foot is used to cut like a bladed weapon which is aimed cutting an opponent open causing them (if they possess blood) to lose a C-rank amount of blood each post (total). Its path is counter-clockwise for the left leg and clockwise for the right leg, and force is generated by both legs' hip abduction. This is similar to a rising side kick, only with the kicking leg's hip flexed so that the line of force travels parallel to the ground from front to side rather than straight up, beginning and ending at the side. Strength Tier - Knee Extension Time (P.T) - Dmg Amplifier None - N/A - N/A D - 2 - 1x C - 3 - 2x B - 4 - 3x A - 5 - 4x S - 6 - 5x

| The woman simply stood there and took the blow, eyes closing as she let the shift take form at an A-rank speed whilst keeping her body looking solid until the kick would arrive. As the blow struck she revealed her lineage as the foot seemed to just flow right through her body. It was only when the eyes opened she revealed the dojutsu of the Zakiyoshi clan, giving some explanation towards how her body liquefied around the kick. Just as the foot was about to slip out the other side of her head, there would be resistance as her body shifted over with the leg not moving, but the rest of the woman's body moving to hold the leg whilst her arm came up, fully liquified as she wrapped her watery body around Calypso, going mostly in using her Hydrification to surround her head specifically. "Let's take a nap, shall we?"- Spoiler:
Name: Hydrification Technique Classification: Fighting Style Rank: D-rank Class: Supplementary Range: Self
Description: Req. Unlock of Bakufuku Stage 2. This technique is unique to the Zakiyoshi clan and makes it it impossible to receive damage from non-elemental pure physical attacks. From a single hair, to the skin and muscles, everything can be liquefied and solidified at will. Be it to evade an enemy's attack during a short range battle, to infiltrate a structure, or to launch a surprise attack in a liquefied state, this technique boasts a high strategic value. Boasting high strategic value, the only way to contain a user of this technique is to lock them up in an airtight container so they cannot move about. When the user passes out, they turn into a jelly-like state. Since this technique turns the body into water, the Zakiyoshi are extremely vulnerable to Lightning Release techniques, as well as Plasma, and Flux techniques. Their physical immunity likewise extends to those elements which are weak to water not being harmed by their physical manifestations including materia. Applying this technique, the user can also modify their body parts for suitable situations and any Water technique using this form requires a Fatigue Price instead of a chakra one while dealing physical Water release damage. Through additional training of 1000 words one is able to permanently increase the speed of transformation into a liquid state. When used while the Bakufuku Stg 2 is used the Speed of Transformation increases by +1, when used while Stg 3 is active the Speed of Transformation increases by +2. No of Trainings - Speed of Transformation 1 - D 2 - C 3 - B 4 - A 5 - S
Name: Water Release: Water Prison Technique Classification: Ninjutsu Rank: C-rank (C-rank Chakra & -3 Fatigue Price) Class: Supplementary/Offensive Range: Self (Defensive), Contact-Short
Description: This technique is used to trap a victim inside a virtually inescapable sphere of water after making hand seals as long as they are within 10 ft of the user. The only downside to this technique is that the user must keep at least one arm inside the sphere at all times in order for the victim to remain imprisoned. Those within the Zakiyoshi clan are very proficient at this technique capable of using it by liquefying their body through the Hydrification Technique. This technique can be done in two ways, the first is when the body is previously solid and the user is touching the victim in which case it surrounds their head while using the speed of the Zakiyoshi's transformation, the second being when used on an opponent within 10 ft of the user which occurs at Crashing Ground speeds. Once trapped the target is unable to move or breathe while within it due to the heaviness of the water and due to the water encompassing the entire body it requires B-rank strength or a C-rank technique which expels chakra from every point in the body in order to escape it. Because of the density of the water it can be used, to a limited extent, for defensive purposes if performed on oneself to protect against incoming C-rank techniques including C-rank physical techniques or elemental techniques weak to water with piercing. It can also be stored in scrolls as traps and upon a victim being trapped within they are dealt recurrent D-rank erosion damage if they lack at least C-rank Endurance while a countdown dependent on the victims endurance tiers begins to see how long it takes to suffocate them, since the water is pressing down on their body breath holding techniques C-rank or below are ineffective.
Water Release Shadow Clones can be used in preparation for this technique as well blocking an opponents attack and then trapping them in the sphere which forms at Crashing Ground speeds or instantly if the victim makes physical contact with said Water Release: Shadow Clone. If the user utilizes Great Water Arm on the arm kept within the Water Prison the user's acquired strength tiers are applied to the prison resulting in victims requiring A-rank Strength tiers to break free from the prison, a B-rank Chakra Expelling Technique or a C-rank Lightning Release Chakra Expelling Technique. Endurance Tiers - Posts till Suffocation (total) 5 - None 10 - D 15 - C 20 - B 25 - A 30 - S

| It was fortunate that Calypso was a Kukinorite after all the sudden revelation that her opponent was one of those Mermaids was well unsettling and could of spelled doom for anyone else especially in the Abyssal Ocean they were a step above normal opponents what with abilities rivaling that of a Devil Fruit user. Still, it didn't mean she was down and out, as she could perceive her shift to water slower than it actually happened allowing her to bounce upward before she fully committed to delivering the crescent kick. Her spinning motion would cause her to flip in the air and deliver the crescent kick upside down however before her foot reached her target it would be enveloped in a dark cloud like substance. This was one of her Stratus Clouds which would be twisted before being used to hammer the girl into the ground with the dense cloud at the same speed that she was going to deliver the kick. though with much more physical force backing it if only to make a point. "Scary."- Spoiler:
B-rank Reaction Tier + Altered Perception = Girl's change from Normal to Water perceived as occurring at B-rank Speed, thus within Calypso's realm of reaction speed allowing for her adjustment into a Dash -> Bounce -> Crescent Kick (Moon Drop Missile)
Zakiyoshi chick sustains = B-rank Storm Release: Physical Damage, which upon impact will knock her into the ground forming a 1 ft crater in the ship while she will rebound off the ground 40 ft in the air (if not blocked) or 35 ft in the air (if blocked) and physical, if not physical then she will scatter apart for the knock-back. However Storm Release is strong against Water thus, the physical immunity granted by said technique is ineffective at blocking the physical damage from Calypso's Trick.
Calypso sustains C+D rank Recoil Dmg. Stratus Clouds: 2 Generated Per Activation 1 ft radius in size
Name: Altered Perception Classification: Taijutsu (Gravity Child Only) Rank: D-rank Class: Passive Range: Self
Description: Becoming known to the world, the Gravity Children are geniuses, however unknown to the outside world, this higher intellect is something crafted not naturally born. Even though their intellect is not something they were naturally born with, they do fall short compared to other geniuses. This fact is becoming most apparent in the way the Gravity Children make use of their intellect. Using their intellect to affect the way they perceive the world, the Gravity Children perceive the world as if it was moving slower, all speeds capping at S-rank are perceived as moving 1-rank slower.
Name: Hurricane Trick: Moon Drop Missle Classification: Taijutsu Rank: D (D-rank Recoil & Variable Stratus Price) Class: Offensive Range: Short (Distance) Contact (Crater), Mid (Knock-Back)
Description: Req. Storm Chaser & Nimbostratus. A twist of the Wing Trick with the same name, the rider learns how to twist a Stratus Cloud into a denser form preforming a spinning flip in the air. This, upon completion of the flip is then used to hammer an opponent into the ground while travelling up to 5 ft before dispersing and leaving a 1 ft radius crater if an opponent is bashed into a solid object such as the ground. This technique is notable for dealing Storm Release physical damage equal to the user's strength while the speed that they preform the flip determines how far an opponent flies upon being struck by the dense sphere of a stratus cloud. Speed Tier - Distance D - 10 ft C - 20 ft B - 30 ft A - 40 ft S - 50 ft
Name: Hurricane Trick: Nimbostratus Classification: Taijutsu Rank: B (C-rank Recoil) Class: Supplementary Range: Self
Description: The third basic trick which is based on a combination of Wing's Catching Moon Drops, Rising's Field & Lather's Saturate which proceed to form a new principle. Nimbostratus essentially involves the formation of storm clouds through utilizing differential pressure to charge moisture within the air. During one's run the sweat from their body fills the air and is pressurized with an electric charge being coursed through it creating Stratus Clouds which can be used as Storm Materia. These clouds are dark in coloration and vary in size depending on how fast the rider is moving and often are used as platforms for the rider to skate on in the air in order to not trigger a constant chakra drain when utilizing their AT's. Stratus Clouds do not last very long however depending on their skill level they have a set amount of time before disappearing when formed. Speed Tier (Radius of Cloud Generated) - Bounty Modifier - No. of Clouds Generated (Spd Lvl Req.) D (1 ft, D-rank Storm Materia) - D = 1 Turn - 1 Per Activation (Tier-) C (2 ft, C-rank Storm Materia) - C = 2 Turns - 2 Per Activation (Tier) B (3 ft, B-rank Storm Materia) - B = 3 Turns - 3 Per Activation (Tier+) A (4 ft A-rank Storm Materia) - A = 4 Turns - 4 Per Activation (Tier++) S (5 ft S-rank Storm Materia) - S = 5 Turns - 5 Per Activation (1-rank Tier-)

| The woman was certainly showing how cocky she was, she thought she had the 'intruder' on the ship simply by nature of what she could naturally do. And her second ability... well she had no time to do it. She could hardly follow the woman flipping over her, feeling it before she could see the blow, and things quickly turned to black for but a brief second as she was slammed into the ground. As she looked up on her attacker she turned her whole body solid, and held her hands either side of her head, "... Yep... alright you win," She didn't know this woman's capabilities, but to get around the Hydrification... well, she wasn't a fighter and alone she couldn't exactly do much. | |

| "Wonderful, now to turn this ship around, also what was that about a target?" Calypso said after the girl spoke, she had no reason to continue to brutalize her after all she had said she won, though if she didn't mean her words then she would be forced to beat her to unconsciousness. Overall she wasn't too bothered by the encounter and though outwardly she kept a cool collected look inside she was squealing in joy that she didn't get trashed in her very first real fight. She would skate over to the steering wheel and turn it knowing it would take a little bit to completely turn the ship back towards the port. If she was a helmsman she was pretty sure she could do so in a jiffy but alas she was nothing more than a lowly rigger, only capable of dropping anchors and releasing sails. Still, she was interested in seeing whatever was below deck but she would wait for the girl to fill her in first before leaving it to chance, not to mention she had to make sure the ship was on the right course. She had considered tying the girl up but seeing as she was a Zakiyoshi that would be pointless since she could just turn into water and get free. - Spoiler:
Sloop takes 3 P.T to Turn once while using a 32 Point Compass thus on my next post it'll turn Northwest by West. Propulsion wise however it's Sunny thus 3 D-ranks of Wind Materia is available for use for propelling the ship. Sloops have a 3* Propulsion thus it can travel for 3x the distance. Thus it can accelerate up to 5-ranks Per Turn while consuming 2 D-ranks of Wind Materia to propel itself. Meaning on my next post not only will it turn Northwest by West but it'll accelerate to S-rank speeds to travel 75 ft towards the Dock.

| The woman sat up with a groan and sitting cross-legged, "... just some fat guy, worked as a bartender at the tavern. I was tasked to grab him." She would shrug that off then, "All I know, and all I could tell you," Staying near silent or not, she wasn't exactly lying. She really didn't know. "Except he's a spy for the Buccaneers apparently. You can probably imagine why he wasn't wanted free." | |

| Calypso would tense at the mention of the guy spying for the Buccaneers her calm expression turning icy while her eyes narrowed and though she continued to steer the ship she paid a lot more attention to the girl now. "So is he needed alive, or is the bounty dead or alive, then again he is a spy so chances are it's the former. Tch...buccaneer serving scum." Calypso said her hands flexing and the wood would groan slightly in protest with how tightly she was gripping the steering wheel. She would take a breath and calm down easing up on the pressure and focusing on getting the sloop back to the port, she'd deal with that when she got back. "Oh well, I'll be claiming that bounty then sorry for the inconvenience Bubbles. she said assigning a nickname to the girl seeing as she had either already forgotten the name she gave or she had never heard the girls name at all. - Spoiler:
North-West by West yet again, same as former post. Next Turn will be back at the Docks.
