| Garm had left her adoptive home where she was treated as a prize, a trophy, taking little but a few days of rationed meals to make something of herself. After the first few days she was outside of the family's grip, and browsing the markets. She didn't exactly have much in the way of money, but what little she had she hoped to spend it well. One thing about being an orphan girl tasked at getting groceries twice a day, she was great at budgetting and finding the best deals. What she kept hidden however was the extra prize she had swiped in her escape; a fabled Devil Fruit.
As such she would go hunting for three things; firstly she was searching for a way to distinguish the types of Devil Fruit to see what else was out in the world she could hunt, secondly was somewhere she could get a good price for her current fruit that bore no interest to her, and third, to find a job to earn herself a little more cash to no longer need to ration herself if she couldn't find a buyer for her fruit. | |

| Meanwhile docking at the outskirts of Mystery Island, Calypso would smile as she heard the echo of thunder in the distance. Sure with the fog which surrounded the island in the day obscuring the sky she was at least relieved that a thunderstorm was approaching, after all it was just the sort of weather she enjoyed. She would tie The Monsoon and then disembark making sure to reach into her sleep space to retrieve her blunderbuss and secure it on her waist along with the pouch she held her Niikos in. "New island..new adventure." Calypso thought to herself especially interested in seeing exactly what manner of bounties this island had and whether or not they had a place for her to spend some of her hard earned Niikos. Still she was somewhat reluctant only due to the fact that she knew that due to the sea she was in they would probably not have as good of a selection as her hometown but such was the way it was. She would look around squinting slightly only because it was somewhat dark before deciding to head inland to hopefully find the bounty board with the currently listed bounties posted. She was still unfortunately reeling from her fights from the last island, if she hadn't been lucky enough to rescue that woman she would of probably been crippled in combat from her untreated injuries most of which were self inflicted. Sure she had learned how to control her tricks so that her road didn't hurt her but still what if she ran into trouble again and needed patching up..what then. She would sigh and try not to dwell on it, it just meant she needed to try not to get injured this time around. - Spoiler:
I rolled 1, 3 & 1 for Day/Night, Weather & Time of Day. Which means due to being in the Abyssal Ocean that it's Daytime during a Solar Eclipse and the weather is a Thunderstorm. So...essentially night-time conditions with probably rain once the topic continues on though thunder and lightning will be constant throughout.
Please be mindful that the N. Abyssal is the Weakest Sea and if unable to reference strength please see Mission Information. This is her 3rd Topic in terms of chronology if needed as a reference (Difficulty spikes increase for every 3 topics). If you wish to see my former topics, please ignore the latter half of "To Victory comes a Storm" as San did not realize he was scaling up enemies to match Calypso's strength instead of sticking to this sea's level of strength. However "The Storm Cometh" is a better example at least in regards to creature encounters.
Calypso's Condition: Injuries = D-rank Dmg to left Leg (The Storm cometh) Stamina = 47 (The Storm Cometh) Req. a Doctor to heal injuries & a Cook (or constant rest) to replenish stamina.

| The sound of thunder resonated throughout the island as multiple streaks of light decorated the sky with each light blinding anyone unfortunate to be looking upwards at that time. Luckily for those who had just arrived on the island, the worst had yet to come so they had time to find shelter before it had actually started raining. Both women had different paths before them of course due to being in separate sections of the island or at least that was an assumption. As Garm wondered she would notice a small looking shack with the words items for sale and trade, it was up to her to decide whether or not she wanted to enter the oddly situated shop or continue onwards in hope of finding somewhere else she could find shelter or means to get some cash.
Calypso on the other would notice a small path before her each time the lightning flashed. If she decided to follow the path, it would lead her to a bar. Inside the bar was quite lively as the locals chattered idly while drinking a few rounds. If she decided to enter, the bar would immediately go silent and then everyone would turn to look at her for a solid minute or so before going back to drinking and chattering.

| Seeing the shack ahead, along with the streaks of lightning in the sky from her peripheral vision, Garm would make a dash to find some shelter, just in time to spot the vendor. Tucking her bag under her arm she would make her way inside, looking for whatever might be on offer. In particular she would be looking out for a guide to the oceans Devil Fruit, not letting slip she was carrying one unprovoked, but wanting to make sure she could identify what she had in private, and any more she might find along the way. | |

| Calypso smiled as the thunder illuminated a path for her and she would casually stroll despite the looming thunderclouds she felt completely at ease in this sort of climate after all. Eventually she would see a bar in the distance and while she continued skating she would look to see if there were any other buildings around and if there where what they were so she could use it to navigate herself if she needed to get back here. Once she was satisfied that she'd mapped out the area around the bar enough she would enter it, noticing how the locals stopped talking when she entered, and her eyes would scan the crowd trying to see if any of them stood out. She would then look around for a bulletin board mainly due to the fact that it was far more likely to have Bounties listed especially in a public place like this where people often came to and fro. Eventually if she wasn't interrupted she would look at said bulletin board all the while skating in a circle to conserve her Trick Speed. - Spoiler:
Trick Speed = 9 more P.T to hit Bullet Release. Money Sense used to try and see if any individuals in the bar have a collected Devil Fruit on their person after 3 Turns. (It doesn't however tell what type of Fruit is collected merely the amount if any on their person)
Name: Money Sense Classification: Taijutsu Rank: D-Rank Class: Supplementary Range: Varies
Description: Pirates have a rather odd ability when it comes to their senses. They possess reaction tiers but not like a normal person, rather they are very good at detecting the wealth that someone has. When they aren't directly looking at someone they have D-Rank- reaction tiers, however upon focusing on someone for at least three rounds they gain an understanding of their wealth depending on the type of pirate and also count as having D-Rank+ reaction tiers against the person that they were focusing on until the end of the topic.
Type of Piracy - Wealth Known Pirate - Xel Bounty Hunter - Collected Devil Fruit Buccaneers - Bank (Minus Xel/Devil Fruits)
Name: Trick Speed Classification: Taijutsu Rank: B Class: Supplementary Range: N/A
Description: Kukinorite are special in that they use a pair of special skates to trigger their latent abilities and control the elements through movement. Trick speed is a technique which revolves around the momentum of the skates as one moves across the field. Just like any object, one must build up momentum to go fast. The more momentum you create the faster you go. Trick Speed allows the Kukinorite to move quicker and quicker over time (running speed only). At first the Kukinorite moves just slightly above normal running speed (Swift Release) and the longer they keep up their momentum the more it will increase. Every 10 posts (total) the momentum will increase by 1 rank in speed (running speed only).
If the Kukinorite comes to a halt the momentum will restart at D rank. Using the brakes on the skates the Kukinorite can slow down to a lower speed as long as they don't come to a stop, but will start over with the momentum building (posts will revert to needing 10 for the next rank in speed). These skates are uniquely designed to withstand the pressure from the speeds, resulting in no recoil to the skates or Kukinorite. The skates are also designed so as to not have a sudden increase in speeds through techniques, negating any use of speed boosting to them as a safety precaution. If one does manage a way to boost their speed up through some means the sudden force will shatter the skates, requiring a Rikigaku Mechanic or Blacksmith to fix them.
However, they do have a small mechanism that will allow them a total of 5 posts to move at blinding light speeds before they break. It is highly recommended not to use it though as breaking your skates will result in losing your access to Kukinorite techniques and you will not be given a new pair. (For movement speeds, running, this technique will work separately of speed tiers while the rest of the body will only work with speed tiers.)

| A small chime resonated throughout the shop the moment as Garm passed through the door. Inside Garm would notice a wide array of items stocked on shelves with larger items on the ground which would perhaps give her the faintest of hopes that what she was looking for was indeed in this random shack on the outskirts of the island. After a few minutes, a shady looking individual would appear behind the counter to greet the young woman. “Hey there lass, how may I help ya?” The man said with a crooked smile as he eyeballed the girl in his shop. She was quite the cute little fauna, maybe she had a service she was offering? It had been quite some time since he had been with a fauna and he wouldn’t pass up such a lovely opportunity.
As Calypso mapped out the area, she would notice a group of men hanging out before an abandoned building they did seem like they were up to no good, if she had taken a longer look at them she would notice that each had similar visible tattoos on different sections of their body. The men did keep an eye on her as it was obvious she wasn’t from around these parts but didn’t act on their suspicions but instead made their way south west. Back inside the bar, the bulletin board was filled with a ton of bounties but as few names that would stand out to Calypso would be Big Al, Jean E and Ja Farsworth because of their bounty of course. “Looking at bounties, I see. Them there on the board are small fry compared ta tha Mack. Thankfully he ain’t shown up around these parts since his fight with them privateers.’ The bartender said out loud. Just the mention of his name caused the bar to go silent for a while. They all feared that blood thirsty fauna who just took whatever he wanted some silently hoped that someone would end the bastard’s life once and for all everyone who tried was either killed or raped, some both. Depressing mate.

| Garm's eyes snapped to the old man clearly running the shop, instantly feeling a shiver run down her spine. There was just something off about him. She wanted to be in and out at a moments notice. "Hi, err, yes. I was wondering if you might... have Devil Fruit." She spoke it in a slightly hushed tone, only as she wasn't sure if this was something to speak about freely. They were a highly sought after commodity after all. "Or at least, a way to classify them. I know such material exists," She was a young ex-slave Faunus, but she did her best to sound like she actually was somebody, knew what she wanted and fully intended to get it. She just hoped that was what actually came out of her. | |

| Calypso would want to take the bounties however when the man began speaking she would turn to regard him as her interest had been piqued especially since this Mack seemed to be a menace to the island if judging by how everyone in the bar just got quiet. "I see, if this Mack is just a plague I'm guessing the Privateer's haven't dealt with him because they do not know where he is? Do any of you have any information towards his whereabouts or rather where he usually frequents when he comes around?" she said deciding to forget the other bounties for now and focus on what was right in front of her, if it was however a false lead and this person was covering for the bounty holders she would come back to this bar find him and beat the crap out of him. But if it wasn't and if Mack was really a serious threat well then she would be rather interested to see how she matched up against him in combat, especially with the weather being so nice. | |

| The crooked smile that was already plastered all over his face grew wider the moment she had mentioned Devil Fruit. “Why yes! I do have devil fruit! Didn’t you see the sign outside? It said devil fruit for sale!” There was no sign outside. “I have dedicated my life to the study and classification of devil fruits and I’d be more than happy to help you figure out what classification yours belongs to. Come let’s have a look see!” The man said eagerly before pulling out a giant magnifying glass and waiting for the girl to hand over the devil fruit.
“If only anyone actually knew Hunter-chan.” The bartender said while pouring a glass of whiskey for the person who was obviously too young to be drinking. “Ever since his battle with the Privateers he’s gone into hiding. Though he managed to kill the privateers, he was gravely injured and went into hiding. No one has seen him since. Though rumor has it that one of the big three on the board actually work for him. Which one? No one knows.” He ended before taking a shot of whiskey himself. God, he hated this damn island and if it wasn’t for his ex-wife taking everything he had he would be on the mainland somewhere enjoying life. | |

| Garm didn't know if she could really trust him or not. There was no sign saying that after all. She wouldn't even make a move for her bag to give any sort of indication she was carrying one. "I don't have it with me of course. It's back on my ship. It's an yellow eggplant like fruit. Zig zag markings in a baby puke green." She had seen it enough to decurve it with ease. "There are ones I am seeking though. I would like a way too identify them myself." | |

| "Hm..I see" Calypso said looking once more at the Bounty board and deciding to take the three ones which stood out the most and hope for the best in regards to figuring out which one of them was working for the Mack. "Well, I intend to find out, do you have any idea where any of these three usually like to haunt?" she would thank him for the drink but shake her head she needed to focus and maybe after she brought that Mack person in she could have a drink with the bartender. If he managed to give her any better information she would linger just enough to hear it before setting off again back into the open where she could scan around once more and if she didn't see anything knew she would skate her way towards the abandoned building where she had seen the group of people. She didn't know how strong this Mack thing was but if it could take out privateers even if they weren't as powerful of a presence in this sea as they were elsewhere, then at least it should be somewhat of a challenge. Then again she would still not recklessly rush into something as last time when she had underestimated the threat level of bounties native to an island she had hurt for it. This time she wouldn't be making any foolish mistakes like before. - Spoiler:

| His smile would immediately turn into a frown once she mentioned that she didn’t have the fruit in her possession. After a soft sigh, he would place the magnifying glass back down and listened to her description of the fruit. It wasn’t helpful as course as there were plenty of fruit that was designed in such a way that and he didn’t care to help her any further without any incentive. “I do have a handbook somewhere around here that can provide you with information about the different types of fruits as well as how to identify them. But why should I help you? You don’t have the fruit so I can inspect it and judging by your appearance you don’t have much money on you to buy the book. What am I getting out of helping you? This is the real world lass, people don’t just hand out favors for nothing in return.” The man stated before standing up straight. He knew her answer it was pretty obvious that she had nothing and he wasn’t going to waste his time with her and thus if she didn’t stop him he would turn around and leave.
“This is where I say something like I ain’t no snitch but to be honest I hate all them fuckers.” The bartender stated bitterly before downing the Whiskey he had poured for her. “Those three have been a pain in my ass for the longest while so I’ll tell you what I know. Ironically, Big Al and his group of misfits were just in here, broke poor old man Jebediah’s nose just cause he didn’t pay him his protection money or let him shag his daughter. He usual hangs around a few guys with matching tattoos. Dunno his daily routine but he usually pops up here the same time and orders the same thing. Gin and tonic. Which he never pays for the bastard.” God he hated this island. “Jean tends to snoop around the docks looking to rob people who are just arriving on the island, sometimes he jacks unattended boats and sells them at ridiculous prices. The bastard. And finally Ja, there hasn’t been any recent sightings of her recently which is a bit odd.” Or coincidental but nah there was no way she would be working with him? Could it? Either way that’s all that the bartender had to say, hopefully she would be able to kill all those bounties or else well he would be murdered and have his bar burnt to the ground for snitching on the, But oh well, such was the life of a background character.
When she had made her way to the abandoned building, she would notice that all the windows and doors were completely nailed down from the inside and out. If she looked through the window she would see two shadows moving around before going out of sight. She could try something unconventional like climbing to the top of the building. It was quite possible and easy to do so after all the barricades on the walls and windows were sturdy enough to grip and hold her weight. But it was up to her to either continue or look for the other bounties. Speaking of which Big Al and his gang had almost arrived at their destination.

| Garm would sigh, this wasn't getting her anywhere and without cash herself, she was really hard pressed to do much. Taking a step back she slipped her hand to her bag, taking out the fruit and holding it up. "... Tell me what this is. I might even think of selling it. Or trading it if you've got one yourself I like." She slid it back in to her bag, tightening the strap so it wasn't going anywhere if he did anything foolish. "So, show me the guide. Show me what this fruit is. Show me what you have if you have fruit. And we'll make a deal," Even if this was the first time negotiating, she didn't feel she was doing too badly at it. | |

| Calypso would scope out the area first and then something hit her basically what the bartender said concerning the m.o's of some of the bounties precisely the bit about how they liked to target new arrivals and sell their ships for cash. She would immediately turn and head towards the docks to make sure the Monsoon was okay first and foremost before she dealt with whatever lurked in this abandoned building skating at Bullet Release speeds was easy. When she eventually got back tot he docks she would head to the Monsoon to make sure that no riff-raff were eyeing it with scumbag eyes. If there were any of them however she would yell to attract their attention. "Oi, get the fuck away from my ship!" she said while her shadow would manifest considering someone trying to jack her shit was the absolutely worst offense in her book especially since that was the only way she could get around this place. - Spoiler:
10 P.T till skating at Crashing Ground (Trick Speed)
Name: Shadow Classification: Taijutsu Rank: D-rank Class: Passive Range: Self
Description: The “Shadows” of the Kukinorite’s are a manifestation of their killing intent and/or fighting spirit. Because of this the “Shadows” can only be seen at certain points when the user’s killing intent and/or fighting spirit are at their highest. It has a unique effect where while active it makes use of the victims Intimidation Limit which is equal to their fatigue limit, but when used in conjunction with actual Killing Intent the amount the victim's I.L depletes is doubled. With each post (total) a Kukinorite's Shadow is out it constantly reduces the Intimidation limit, once fully exhausted the victims will be completely intimidated where they will faint for a period of time, however Barrier tiers equal to the user’s rank can make the victims immune to intimidation. These moments are usually at the beginning of a battle, used for intimidation purposes, or when the user uses one of their high ranking or signature techniques, Infinity Atmosphere techniques. Since the “Shadows” represent only a single person’s killing intent and/or fighting spirit every Kukinorites’s shadows take different appearances and as the user improves their “Shadows” will also improve, changing in appearance. Now if two Kukinorite’s were to do a combination jutsus, “Shadows” will also be shown but the appearance will be a fusion of the two “Shadows.” Rank/Barrier Tier for Immunity - Intimidation Limit Depleted - Faint Duration D - 1 - 1 C - 2 - 5 B - 3 - 10 A - 4 - 15 S - 5 - 20

| Upon hearing her words, the man would stop and turn around. His eyes would widen at the sight of the magnificent devil fruit she held in her hands. What got him even more excited was the fact that it seemed to be more exotic than the ones that he had in his shop. Before he could say anything, however, the chime attached the door would go off and four men entered the shop. The man’s expression would immediately change from one of pure joy to terror as he instantly recognized the gang of thugs. “ Big Al said I had more time! I was just about to get a devil fruit to pay him back! She has one right now!” The man said frantically as he tried to use the girl as some sort of leverage for his life. It wouldn’t work though as each man would pull out a Dragoon and opened fire on both Garm and the man. Each bullet was flying at C rank speeds. They were unsure if Garm was able to dodge the bullets and if she wasn’t able to then good but they knew for a fact that the old man would be Swiss cheese. If she did manage to dodge, however, the men would turn their attention towards her. “ Oye bitch, hand over the fruit ya?” The shortest one of the group said as he pointed his gun towards her. Having already secured a number of boats, Jean would be looking to make his way out of the docks when he saw this cute little ship tied up on the dock. Though he really didn’t need such a ship he decided that he would take it anyway, after all, it could probably fetch him a few Niikos. While he was busy attempting to untie the boat the sound of a very angry woman had caught his attention. Turning around to greet this person, he would instead be greeted by some sort of sea monstrosity. “ What the…” Jean muttered as he tried coming to grips to what the hell he was actually looking at. He would look to the boat and would pull out a knife before cutting the rope then kicking the boot off into the ocean with C rank strength before running off. She had to make a choice, didn’t she? Either she would have to try and save her precious boat or try to capture him. He wouldn’t go far, however, as he would hide amongst the numerous crates on the dock. The storm clouds would finally burst as it suddenly started raining heavily which meant that if she didn’t go for the boat the waves would surely wash it away. - Garm:
Bullets traveling at C rank speeds. Would need equal rank or higher reaction or speed to move out the way
- Calypso :
Jean cuts the rope of the boat and kicks it with C rank strength into the water hoping to buy himself some time to escape.
Name: Coward's Bullet Release Classification: Taijutsu Rank: C-rank Class: Supplementary Range: Self
Jean's father had always told him that it was better to be a coward for a minute than being dead for all eternity. When used in normal situations his speed tiers only count as C- but when used in situations that bring forth his cowardice they count as C+.
Name: A Coward's Diversion Classification: Taijutsu Rank: C-rank Class: Supplementary Range: Self
Description:
People had always considered Jean to be a coward but he thinks that his lifestyle is more of a means of staying alive when faced with dangerous situations. This technique allows him to do just that as whenever some sort of distraction comes up, be it coincidental or caused by him, the moment the opponent takes their eyes off him he vanishes. The opponent would require reaction tiers equal to the speeds or higher that he's traveling to even notice he's moved from his original spot.
Name: River Traversal Classification: Taijutsu Rank: C-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 C-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++

| Garm knew the second she saw the expression on the shop keepers face to stash her Devil Fruit away and to keep her tail tucked in and hidden from sight. She turned on her heels and came face to face with the shortest of the members pointing the gun at her. This was her first real fight, she hoped it wouldn't be her last. "Tch," She muttered and immediately weaved to the side and forwards in two steps at her own B-rank speed. She hardened her fingers in to a point, letting her inner flames run wild as she jabbed the front man in the shoulder of his dominant arm, aiming to disarm him on top of harming him through her Dragonic Surgical Strike. Not one to let the others take a second shot at her, Garm would retract her arm from the first assailant to form the next technique, the Draconic Roar of Flames. She aimed her breath down at their feet, including the stabbed man, exhaling deep black fire that spread across the floor at their feet. She cared little for the stall now the owner was dead, but she would remain on the ready for any sort of counter attack before she would loot the now burning store. - Techniques Used:
C rank reaction and B rank speed to dodge bullets Attacking front man demanding her fruit in the shoulder dealing C-rank Blaze Release Hybrid Damage, along with 1 D of burning damage p.t. unless they possess C-rank defence against piercing. Rolled 5 on 20% success chance to bypass piercing. - Due to Flame Tribe style, requires better than naked eye sight to perceive her attacks Draconic Fire burns floor unless fire resistant, enemies burned for C-rank Blaze Hybrid Damage each p.t. unless possessing C or higher Heat Resistant, C-rank pain and suffer -2 Stamina p.t.
Name: Flame Tribe Style Classification: Fighting Style Rank: B-rank Class: Offensive, Defensive, Supplementary Range: Self (Body Movement), Contact & Long (Element Manifestation)
Description: The Flame Tribe Style is an external style based on extending the body and long, aggressive techniques that explode and drive through the opponent. The Flame Tribe Style dates back to the year 257 AE, and is the origin of many martial arts. Many of Flame Tribe Style's movements come from nature, utilizing the behaviors of various predatory creatures and the five natural disasters common to the Origin Continent, Breeding Seasons, Eruptions, Earthquakes, Tornadoes, and Floods in order to create fighting style unpredictable to the naked eye. Fire Tribe Style teaches Faunus use their manifested element to penetrate through their opponents (Defense Piercing), sending it outward for either Contact or Long distances. Flame Tribe Style fits the Beast Arts more attuned with the Flame Tribe (Fire, Blaze, Crystal & Explosion) because, like fire, it is aggressive, expanding, and extravagant. Rank - Level of Perception Unable to Predict D - Naked Eye-Sight C - Reaction Tiers B - Reaction Tier+ A - Muscle Tension S - Muscle Tension + Reaction Tiers
Name: Actual Medical Treatment Classification: Fighting Style Rank: B-Rank Class: Supplementary Range: Contact & Self (Patient)
Description: This is a Medical Taijutsu fighting style created by Zelana Yaju to allow the treatment of those by individuals who lack the ability to utilize chakra. This includes First Aid techniques geared at providing a rapid response and Surgery which requires the use of items specifically geared at the use for medical treatment & finally the use of consumables and techniques involving their refinement or increasing their utility when prescribed to patients of a Doctor. The thing is Medicine isn't an exact science thus often times the techniques of this fighting style can and will fail, this is dependent on the skill of the Doctor in question as well as the rank of techniques that they are using however all of the techniques in this style consume stamina prices as it is rather tiring for Doctors to treat individuals. The commonality is that when in the middle of combat treating individuals results in a halved success chance in comparison to outside of battle, however skilled doctors can increase their efforts resulting in a stamina price to utilize any Actual Medical Treatment techniques at their normal rates of success. Rank (Technique, Doctor) - Success Chance (%) - Stamina Price Modifier if using in battle without penalty D - 20% - 7x C - 30% - 6x B - 40% - 5x A - 50% - 4x S - 60% - 3x SS (Z) - 70% - 2x SSS (X) - 80% - 1x Z - 90% - N/A
Name: Flame Tribe: Dragonic Surgical Strike Classification: Medical Beasttaijutsu Rank: C-Rank (-4 Stamina, Optional Variable Blood Price) Class: Offensive Range: Contact
Description: As someone trained in doctoring, Garm has learned where in the body deals the most damage and can be the hardest to fix up. This combined with her sharp claws and her Blaze element makes for a deadly strike. With the Surgical Strike she aims specifically for the joints in the shoulders, knees and elbows where she can deal the most damage. Simply stabbing in to their skin, she deals a portion of Blaze Release Hybrid Damage equivalent to a C-rank, thn can likewise inflict a burn which afflicts her target each post (total) dependent upon her rank. The burn can be resisted however by those who possess C-rank Defense Tiers, however due to her application of Actual Medical Treatment this technique has a percent chance (Dice Roll) of bypassing this resistance to inflict the burn depending on her rank. Healing this burning damage requires a B-rank Medical Technique or a C-rank Medical Technique specifically geared towards treating burns. Rank - Burning Damage each P.T D - 1 D C - 2 D B - 3 D A - 4 D S - 5 D
Name: Flame Tribe: Draconic Roar Of Flame Classification: Beast Arts Rank: C-Rank (-4 Stamina) Class: Supplementary / Offensive Range: Short (Distance), Contact (Flame Spread)
Description: A technique Garm created specifically for combat aboard an enemy ship, exhaling a stream of black fire up to 10 ft away, Garm can spread her harsh flames across the ground and scorching it. This technique is designed to destroy ships, burning through non-fireproof surfaces with relative ease while the flames spread along the surface every P.T. Close proximity to this fire alone has an effect on opponents, inflicting C-rank Pain and due to the heat -2 Stamina unless they have a Heat Resistance based technique C-rank or above. Any object without C-rank Heat Resistance is set ablaze dealing C-rank Blaze Release Hybrid damage per P.T burning until either put out or the object is completely burnt up.

| Calypso would grit her teeth before jumping and foregoing the boosts she would usually receive from Trick Speed to instead close the distance with the vagabond who dare thought he could steal her property. All the while she would ride the Hurricane Road basking in the thunderstorm which occurred overhead, resulting in the movement speed she had used to jump with being enhanced to reach speeds which would have normally broken her skates assuming she was still on the ground. Either way she would use her additional momentum to essentially jump over him as he kicked The Monsoon into the ocean and flip in the air to deliver a downward kick as she utilized the power of the Hurricane Road to generate two Stratus clouds around her body. The flip would be possible due to her using Typhoon Turn and relying on the first step to alter her forward movement into dropping downward and then the second in order to spin her body to deliver the kick which would condense the clouds into two dangerous projectiles. The remaining two steps would be used to get herself to The Monsoon before it was lost at sea though she wanted to make sure that her prey didn't get away as she knew if she needed to she could catch up to her raft seeing that was the primary way she trained while at sea. "Seriously..not cool bruv." Calypso would say if she managed to successfully land on The Monsoon turning back to regard the opponent she had just tried to knock-out. She was ever thankful for the sky, Thunderstorms were often seen as bad, but to her they were always a good omen. - Spoiler:
Trick Speed + Jump + Storm Chaser = Bullet Release (C+) + 20 ft + 3 Tier Levels (Thunderstorm) + 15 ft (10 ft of additional Jump Height also due to Thunderstorm) = Calypso moves at B-rank Speeds while reaching an apex of 10 ft into the air as she covers 40 ft in 1 P.T.
Nimbostratus + Quadruple Typhoon Turn (B-rank Speed Kick) = Two 3 ft Radius Stratus Clouds Generated (Due to Calypso being C-rank they last for 2 Turns after being formed). Which are released after Calypso drops downward 7 ft. Each Travel up to 5 ft (+3 Ft due to size of Stratus Clouds) Moon Drop Missile + C-rank Strength + Jump Damage Bonus to Kick = Each Condensed Cloud deals 1 C-ranks(C-rank gains a 1x Dmg Boost due to having a height damage modifier of 10 ft) Storm Release Physical Dmg and upon hitting Jean E. he is bashed into the ground to leave a 1 ft radius crater each. Total Damage Jean E. sustains = 2 C-ranks (1 B-rank) of Damage and he will be left in a crater 2 ft deep albeit only having a 1 ft radius width.
Total Recoil due to Tricks = 2 D & 1 C (Cancelled out due to Hardened Bodies Passive being trained to 4th Level) Total Recoil due to Buffs = External Constructs (Weather & Fall Height) resulting in no recoil being dealt to Calypso.
Name: Hardened Bodies Classification: Taijutsu (Gravity Child Only) Rank: D-rank (4th Weekly Competed, 4 Weeks till Req. to Train Agin) Class: Passive Range: Self
Description: The purpose of the Gravity Children project was to create humans whose bodies can withstand the strain from the Roads. This was done by tapping into the latent Defense tier trait that connects the other humans to their Ronin brethren. Altering that gene to meet the need, rather than offering protection from physical techniques, the bodies of the Gravity Children provide protection from the recoil of using the Roads. Starting with little protection, D-rank, by training their bodies, 1000 word training once per week, the Gravity Child can increase the amount of strain their bodies can withstand, capping at S-rank. However, due to constant use of the Roads, the Gravity Child’s protection from strain does not remain constant, if the Gravity Child goes a prolonged amount of time without training, in terms of weeks, their ability to withstand strain will reduce by 1-rank, essentially requiring the Gravity Child to constantly train their bodies. Depending on how high their original training it would require less to get back in shape (reduced word count) similarily depending on the age of the Gravity Child the amount of time that can pass for them to become out of shape also varies. Training Level - Word Count - Age - Time Before Out of Shape (OOC) D - 1000 - Below Prime (1 Week) C - 750 - Prime [Up to 10 Years since Below Prime] (2 Weeks) B - 500 - Prime [From 11-20 Years since Below Prime] (3 Weeks) A - 250 - Prime [Above 21 Years since Below Prime] (4 Weeks/1 Month) S - 100 - Above Prime (1 Week)
Name: Hurricane Road Classification: Fighting Style Rank: D-rank Class: Supplementary Range: Self
Description: Hurricane road is a advanced variation of the Wing Road, created using the principles of the Over road projected through the Wind Regalia. The Hurricane Road focuses on using the created wind as a weapon rather than to increase maneuverability. It is also capable of totally negating the presence of winds in an area, rendering Wing Road abilities useless. The Queen of this road is called the Storm Queen and her Infinity Atmosphere is called Infinite Cyclone. Principles: 1. Wind Shear (Aerokinetic Energy Conversion and Release) 2. Storm Chaser (Storms bolster Speed & Air Mobility) 3. Nimbostratus (Storm Cloud Formation)
Name: Wáṣerotapa: Jump Classification: Taijutsu Rank: C-rank Class: Supplementary Range: Mid
Description: Drawing from the principles of the Wáṣerotapa fighting style this is one of the most basic types of movement in which the user expands on the philosophy of Bounce this time bending the knees along with the shifting motion in order to jump skyward enhancing the natural jumping ability of the user. 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. Increased tiers only increases the lethality and use of this technique as it makes use of the user's tiers to increase the jumping distance of the user. Rank - Jump Distance (ft) - Str Tier Modifier - Height Dmg Modifier D - 10 - +4 - 1x C - 20 - +8 - 1x B - 30 - +12 - 2x A - 40 - +16 - 2x S - 50 - +20 - 3x
Name: Hurricane Trick: Storm Chaser Classification: Taijutsu Rank: C (D-rank Recoil) Class: Supplementary Range: Self
Description: This is the second basic trick which is based on a combination of Wing's Gravity Control and Over's Backdraft which proceed to form a new Principle. Storm Chaser involves the use of active weather conditions Storms in particular which are used to heighten the rider's capabilities in battle. This is seen during a "Run" as by riding within a Storm they are find slipstreams which generate low-pressure area easing the burden of their bodies to boost their speed and air mobility. This causes any technique which requires movement tier checks to require 1-rank Lower (Strength, Speed etc) while likewise increasing the rider's speed depending on the power of the storm they are riding in. Weather - Speed Boost - Additional Jump Height (Jump Distance) Rainy/Windy/Snow - 1 Tier Level - 1 ft (5 ft) Heavy Rain/Hail - 2 Tier Levels - 5 ft (10 ft) Thunderstorm/Blizzard/Sandstorm - 3 Tier Levels - 10 ft (15 ft) Rotating Thunderstorm/Tornado - 1-rank - 15 ft (20 ft) Hurricane - 2-ranks - 20 ft (25 ft)
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-)
Name: Typhoon Turn Classification: Taijutsu (Bounty Hunters Only) Rank: C-rank (-2 Stamina Price Each Step) No. of Retrainings: 15/25 Class: Supplementary Range: Self
Description: This technique is the Pirate variation of the Body Flicker technique, taught only to Bounty Hunter's by the Yakuza, this is a movement technique (Speed Tiers) that allows the user to move at untraceable speeds from one point to another. Typhoon Turn works by storing kinetic energy (stamina) in one's body, double that of Accel Turn and it's variants, and then releasing that energy to achieve an explosive boost in speed (D-rank). This occurs either in rapid acceleration in a single movement (Typhoon) or boosted acceleration in fixed directions broken up into parts at a lower velocity which when combined together allows one to either move faster as a whole (Double, Quadruple), cover more distance (Triple, Quintuple) or when fully mastered a combination of all all three (Transcendent). This movement is unable to be seen with the naked eye however those with D-rank+ Reaction Tiers are able to track the user's movement despite their being no lag interval for them to exploit. Typhoon Turn goes by a simple naming system, where the first is simply 1 step while others stand for have many steps there are; 2 (Double), 3 (Triple), 4 (Quadruple), 5 (Quintuple) & the last is merely the mastered version of Typhoon (Transcendent) which is always preformed 6 steps. No. of Retraining - Turn Unlocked (Turn Effect) 5 - Double (C-rank Speed) 10 - Triple (C-rank Speed + 2x Distance covered in 1 P.T) 15 - Quadruple (B-rank Speed) 20 - Quintuple (B-rank Speed + 2x Distance covered in 1 P.T) 25 - Transcendent (A-rank)

| The short guy would scream out in agony the moment her hand dug into his flesh like a hot knife through butter. The others wouldn’t even get a chance to react as they would end up being engulfed by her flames and with no means of quenching the flames they would end up rolling around in agony before burning to death. Though she was successful in dispatching her enemies, there was one more concerning problem. The shop was made from a highly flammable material which meant that the shop would quickly burst into flames destroying everything within the shop. With the shop collapsing within itself it would be a safe bet for her to exit the burning building before she got buried alive. Once she did leave the building the first thing she would notice is an individual standing in the distance smoking a cigar. “Never send a bunch of boys to do a man’s job it seems.” Big Al stated before outing his cigar on a nearby tree. He wouldn’t move from his original position, however, he would wait for the girl to make her move. - Big Al:
Unfortunately for Jean, his attempt to run away had been thwarted as he was knocked unconscious. Calypso would be successful in capturing her boat before it was swept away by the turbulent waves. With Jean hers to claim she was free to pursue her other targets. Perhaps she could revisit that abandoned building? | |

| Garm stepped out through the flames, trying not to let it show on her face just how cool she thought she'd look doing that. At least one advantage of them being her flames is she knew exactly how they danced to avoid catching herself. Standing outside she patted herself down where a little ash got on to her, all whilst her eyes fixed on the large man who seemed to be a part of the group who had attacked her. "... funny, because I'm only fifteen. You really think you're a big man for attacking an innocent young girl like me?" She taunted him without restraint, seeing he was anticipating her to make the first move, analysing him. With his weight it was unlikely, not impossible, he was a fast type, so if she went flying in at him he would likely counter her. And if she didn't need to fight, that was all the better. "I just burned your guys and didn't break a sweat. And around that intense fire, not breaking a sweat is a pretty big achievement. So... if you have a Devil Fruit guide, I'd like to know what sort of recorded fruit is out there, I'll take it as payment for your men messing up my business, and I'll be on my way. I'm heading off the island any way, so you've got a guarantee you'll never see me again," She cared less for her own fruit as this man wouldn't know she had one. | |

| Calypso would tie The Monsoon back to the docks this time double knotting it for extra security and then walking over to her downed would be thief, sure enough he matched one of the fliers she had in her hand and since he was unconscious she would step on his knees with enough force to break both is his knee caps thus ensuring that even if he did manage to wake up, he wouldn't be going anywhere anytime soon. To further discourage him escaping she would place some of the heavier crates and barrels around him so that when he did wake up he would have to free himself which probably wouldn't happen given the fact that he would have no leg strength. "That'll teach you to try and steal from me, pirate scum." Calypso said spitting to the side in disgust before getting a renewed sense of purpose, namely deciding to check out that abandoned building she saw earlier skating along at Swift Release speeds. - Spoiler:
Trick Speed will boost her from Swift to Bullet Release in 9 more P.T

| It was funny that she thought he really cared about her being fifteen. He’s killed far younger than she was so beating her down wouldn’t bother him in the slightest. “ Aren’t you cute? You took out four men who barely knew how to spell their own names and you feel like some hotshot.” He said as he shook his head in disbelief. Maybe he should just show her the difference between himself and the others and teach her that being humble is a trait she should probably pick up. Kicking off the ground at bullet release speeds, he would look to hit her with a straight to the face with his right but instead of following through with the attack he would stop mid attack and followed through with another straight with his left aiming to confuse and punish her for her false reaction. Completely out cold, Jean was easily restrained and possibly left to drown as the rain poured down heavily on his unconscious body. As Calypso arrived at the building, nothing had really changed. If she had peeked through the barricades she would one shadow moving around. The way through the front required herculean strength to even remove the barricades and open the door before her but if she did pay attention she would notice that she was able to climb upwards by using the barricade as footing. - Big Al:
Big Al coming towards her at C- speeds. The first straight was feintso Garm requires equal rank reaction and higher speeds to see through his feint and dodge his follow up attack.
Name: Titanic Fist Classification: Fighting Style Rank: D-rank Class: Offensive Range: Short
Description: A rather simple style consisting of major usage of the fists with minor usage of the legs, similar to modern day Boxing in almost every sense. Following his own personal beliefs, King's mentor Kyoujin shows a boxing style similar to a Boxer-puncher and a Brawler, making him capable of enough movement to dodge and release enough force behind his punches that he can knock-out other people. King has refined this style to be more accurate so that those within the Bachiatari could have a powerful Taijutsu style and as such blows to the head will knock out someone with defense 1-rank lower than the user's strength tier, blows to the stomach will knock out opponents with defense 2-ranks lower than the user's strength tier and blows to the other parts of the body will induce a pain numbing effect to the body part hit softening them up for additional blows by the Titanic, Lupine or Howling Fist style. This style can likewise be used to kill opponents similar to the original incarnation of the fighting style with 2-ranks lower of defense to the body part hit being enough to kill the victim hit by one of his punches if they lack Endurance Tiers at a certain rank. An individual's stance in this Style is Orthodox. Rank of victim - Endurance Tiers Required to not be killed by strike D - D+ C - C+ B - B+ A - A+ S - S+
Name: Straight Classification: Taijutsu Rank: B-rank Class: Offensive Range: Short
Description: The boxer throws his fist forward closing the distance between him and the opponent with it to deliver a jarring blow usually aimed at the face to knock the opponent out of sync and throw off their rhythm once it connects. It is specifically used to disrupt an opponent using taijutsu before it connects so long as the opponent is within 5 feet of the user and are moving at or below the speed of the straight when it is thrown.
Name: Feint Classification: Taijutsu Rank: C-rank Class: Supplementary Range: Short
Description: This technique is used to confuse opponents and make them react before punishing them for their false reaction. Feints resemble any of the boxer's punches hence why they are so dangerous however instead of completing the punch he changes it suddenly and delivers a different or even the same strike with his current or other arm. Due to the sudden change opponents with reaction tiers now need two-ranks higher speed than the speed of his strike to react to this change of tactics. Those with reaction tiers need equal rank reaction with 1-Tier level higher speed while those with speed slowing dojutsu need equal rank speed in order to react to this change of tactics. Multiple Feints can be used in quick succession to further confuse the opponent and when combined with Bob, Weave, or Leap it acts in the place of delivering a strike speeding up or seemingly increasing in power while merely being a false strike to increase the probability that the opponent will fall for it.

| Garm had gotten exactly what she wanted, and by that she got the lesser of her preferred options as she was actually in a fight now. Her C-rank reaction caught the feint, and her B-rank speed allowed her to effortlessly dodge to swing. She hoped to end this just as quickly as his men, but with his size she knew it would not be as easy. Thankfully though, she had a large target up this close. Having waited as long as she could to dodge after the feint, she channeled her fire, and once more exhaled the stream of black flames directly at his torso, once using her Road of Flame. With it exhaled though, she would dash back putting another 10ft between them as she figured he was a close range fighter. - Techniques Used:
Roar of Flame used again on Big Al directly. Once more, Flame Tribe requires better than naked eye reaction to dodge. C-rank Hybrid Blaze damage each p.t, and C-rank pain.
Stamina (catching up) = 240, total of 3 C-ranks to now at 4 stamina each
240 - 12 = 228 remaining

| Calypso would look around a bit more before noticing that the building was much too barricaded for her to want to break into normally thus she would first skate around it mainly to see if there was any other entrance which was less fortified than the one she currently saw. If she didn't see any other option then she would be forced to scale it, though she wouldn't do so normally after all she was a Kukinorite, and thus would back up before attempting a jump before kicking off the front of the building once she came in contact with it to further increase her upward distance. Usually this would result in her falling back down but she wasn't exactly a normal individual and if there was one thing a Kukinorite was good at it was maneuvering while in the air. Thus rather than angle it so that she'd try and aim for the non-existent other wall she would instead kick-off upward and if she managed to get to the top of the building she would utilize flip so that she could position herself and land on top of it. Otherwise she would attempt another kick-off to get even more air, and then proceed to figure out what she had to do next to avoid falling to the ground. - Spoiler:
Jump + C-rank Strength + Trick Speed (Swift Release) = Calypso jumps 38 ft (10 ft +20 ft + 8 ft) onto building. Kick-Off + C-rank Strength off of building = Calypso kicks off of building to reach 16 more feet into the air.
If building is Less than or ~54 ft high then she utilizes Flip. If not then she uses Kick-Off again for 16 more feet (which if the building is less than or ~70 ft high she'll then use Flip)
When using Flip (+C-rank strength), she ascends 1 ft (leaving 15 ft of vertical ascension left from Kick-off) and then angles the remaining 15 ft of her flip to land on top of the building or at least to the side so she could grip a hand hold and not fall.
Name: Wáṣerotapa: Kickoff 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 bends the knees while either running along a vertical surface or landing on it before kicking off of it with a single leg. This causes the user to flip while tucked into a ball before coming in contact with another vertical surface while dropping down a few feet. This technique involves using her leg muscles to push off in a manner similar to jumping however it differs in that she uses gravity along with her acceleration to assist her movement. The distance at which she can "Kick off" off of walls is initially 5ft allowing the user to cross distances via just this method of travel though when using strength this becomes another method of facilitating powerful strikes as the speed of the next kick is boosted by 1-rank. As long as the user reaches another vertical surface without exceeding the max amount of distance able to be covered by the kickoff this technique can be repeated multiple times dependent on the user's skill level. Rank - Max Kickoff's Total - Distance Covered Each - Str Tier Modifier D - 1 - 5ft - +3ft C - 2 - 10ft - +6ft B - 3 - 15ft - +9ft A - 4 - 20ft - +12ft S - 5 - 25ft - +15ft
Name: Wáṣerotapa: Flip 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 movement in which the user flips ither forward or back to put additional force onto a strike or to put distance between her and an opponent to likewise deliver additional force to opponents moving towards her. This all relies on distance with the damage multiplier for her strike increasing relative to the distance between her and his opponent. When she flips forward if the opponent is within either a foot OR 4 feet of her as she launches the kick they sustain normal damage, if they are in between 2-3 feet they sustain double the knockback while if they are between 1-2 feet they sustain triple the knockback from the strike. Likewise when she jumps back opponents moving towards her to bridge that gap likewise suffer the same predicament with the follow up strike. "Flips" distance and speed increases with the user's tiers, each speed tier allows her to dodge strikes with a flip back equal to the speed she is moving while each strength tier increases the distance of the leap by five feet. Rank (Str Tier) - Distance Covered None - 5 D - 10 C - 15

| His attack would miss and before he could try to launch a counter assault he would end up getting burned by her flames, which was odd as he was pretty sure he would’ve been able to dodge it if he was able to see it coming. The flames would melt the very skin off his face and reduced him to nothing but a pile of burning flesh. Before the flame had hit him, however, the speed at which he was traveling he would end up dropping a book of sorts that held the names, last known location, and identity of a few people currently on the island. This book was a book of bounties and Garm had seen and picked it up she would notice that she would see an image of the man she was just fighting alongside Jean E, Ja Farsworth, Yasmin "Tigress" Agrabah, and Sound Sultan. It would be up to her which she would now want to try to claim if she wanted to. Whatever her choice was, she would have to do it in the heavy rain as the thunderstorm would now completely engulf island. Calypso would arrive at the top of the roof in spectacular fashion and if she looked to her left, she would see two barricaded entrances. These barricades were easily removed but it did still present the age old dilemma. Left or right? Left seemed to take her to the main hall way of the building while right seemed to take her to some sort of basement. Would she take the obvious route or try and take the basement to get a jump on whoever it was inside the building? - Garm:
In order of closest to furthest.
- Big Al (x) - Jean- The docks - Ja Farsworth- Last seen hanging around the abandoned building - Yasmin "Tigress" Agrabah- Last seen at the church on the hill - Sound Sultan- Last seen in the caves on the edge of town

| Garm was really quite surprised she was taking these people down so easily. She picked up the book and looked through, seeing that it seemed to be a bounty book. Not the sort of book she wanted, but she supposed it would do. Cracking her knuckles, she would grab the burnt body by his fat leg, and begin dragging him off to claim the bounty on him, whilst making plans to go and find the others after. She recalled seeing a bounty office towards the docks, heading there with the big guy. At least this way she could get some cash without flaunting her Devil Fruit about. Direction however wasn't her best suit, and whilst dragging him the wrong way she could go by the docks, passed the body sprawled on the ground. Something about their face was familiar though, checking back in the book and seeing it too. With a sigh, swearing she was too young for this, she would find some rope as more of a way to pull them both along due to her short stature, and with them both in tow, pull them along to the bounty office. - Spoiler:
