Diamonds are a girl's best friend...

Seriah frowned as he jumped. He was pretty quick, which meant this would be difficult. Every scream of pain registered in her ears as various people were taken out by Shara and the rest of the crew. Leon brought his swords down and instinctively Seriah raised the bowstaff, blocking it easily. However, she hadn't been thinking clearly as the staff began to freeze, the ice creeping over her hands and down her arms. Her eyes widened, as she brought her foot up, kicking off Leon's chest as she flipped backwards. She stared down at her hands in concern.

She took a deep breath, her eyes closing. For half a second nothing happened before the ice cracked. Then it shattered, freeing her hands and her staff. She spun it around, scattering the tiny shards of ice as she took a deep breath, glaring at Leon as she breathed heavily for a moment. Her hands were practically glowing with Haki, but the amount of Haki it took to free her hands was not something she could readily pull upon for a prolonged battle. She had to be sure to avoid being frozen or even her defense could be broken. He was dangeorus, especially to her. She sure got unlucky with her target. Most logia users would fall pretty quickly to her, not being used to people who could hurt them normally with ease but he would be different. Even if her blows treated his body like normal, his creeping ice would be problematic.

"That's pretty cold." She admitted. She'd have to creative to fight him. Hit and run it seemed. Not her speciality, but that didn't mean she wasn't ready for it. From what she had learned about one of the previous admirals, she had a decent grasp of how that particular fruit worked. Spinning her staff she took another deep breath.Quickening the pace of her twirl, she touched the ice on the platform with it, kicking up a chunk of it as it exploded into a small cloud of icy mist, blurring her form for just a moment. Then she was gone. The staff lost it's momentum, dropping to the platform as seriah reappeared high in the sky. "Soru." She announced. "Geppou!" She said kicking off the air in a verticle circle above Leon. She began to spin faster and faster as she hardened her leg with Diamond and Tekkai. Her form blurred as she spun faster and faster. "Rankyaku: Diamond cutter."

Three massive sharp air blades shot downwards at high speeds from her leg. The first was larger and powerful, the second one less so, and the third one she let tekkai go, focusing it more into a smaller more percise cut that was dramatically faster and sharper. Slowly her speed she used geppou to stay floating in the air, waiting to see how her challenger would emerge, focusing all around her to make sure no one else from his crew snuck up on her.

...and about half as tough.

" Tomorrow is mine!"

"I will ignite
Dancin' through the fire around me
I'll never stop
You'd better hide
Now I'm in the mood for a fight!
You won't know what hit you
When I spin around
Leave you in my dust
Then
BANG BANG
DOWN DOWN!''

Where: Marine death trap
With: marines
What: Rolling!

Razor-focused on his mission, Vincent adapted to his suits' controls rather quickly and intuitively. He found the Professor's supposition about the mech adapting to his Devil Fruit ability to be correct, as Vincent soon discovered a way to project large plumes of smoke from his body and direct them out through the mech's arms. The mech he controlled paused for a moment to hold a swirling ball of smoke in its palm before clenching its hand into a fist, causing the smoke to disperse fitfully.

Most of the other members of the Seeker Unit had some difficulty adjusting to their own mechs, so Vincent reluctantly kept an eye on them as they prepared to breach the city.

The first wave of enemy mechs greeted them, and Agent Guilford quickly responded by launching a precise shot to knock off the head of the closest titan looming over the battlefield. Some of the mechs charged forward, and Vincent in turn charged forth to meet them, kicking in his own mech's thrusters and leaving behind a huge trail of smoke. He tore through the ranks of enemy mechs skillfully, adapting to the mech as if controlling his own body. He blasted the enemy mechs with an accurate hail of automatic gunfire from his mechs' rifle, swiftly dodging return fire and battering them with a flurry of metallic kicks and tossing them around with smoke plumes when they wandered too close.

However, he soon found his own mech became sluggish and stopped responding to his controls as another titan stepped forward. Then hellfire broke loose as artillery rained down on the frontlines, blasting the enemy mechs to pieces while giving the Seeker Unit a chance to regain control. Agent Guilford managed to go back on the offensive swiftly, blowing the other titan's head off and clearing a path for the Marines to counterattack as the nearby enemy mechs went dead.

Vincent didn't even bother waiting for the Professor's command. He tore ahead of his unit towards the Town Hall, fighting his way through waves of enemy mechs with cold, calculated ferocity that the soldiers in his unit never witnessed from him before. Soon he separated himself from the others, finding himself surrounded by a huge contingent of enemy mechs standing between him and his destination. The situation looked bleak for Vincent as they raised their weapons, ready to fire. Vincent cursed under his breath only seconds before the mechs opened fire in a concentrated, synchronized volley as they closed in. Vincent's mech erupted in a series of explosions and smoke, as the Kairoseki Gas canister erupted to render the machine inert along with the enemy mechs closely surrounding it, and Vincent nowhere to be seen in the wreckage...


[Later]


At the Town Hall all hope seemed lost as well for the Seeker Unit to complete their mission. Without their Commander the rest of the unit besides the LT and Agent Guilford had difficulty making it through wave after wave of mechs. Indeed, Vincent had gone MIA for a while, and it appeared as if the mission would be failure. The Governor hung precariously from a robot's grip outside the shattered window of the Town Hall, begging for his life as Grigori's men prepared to start executing the hostages.

Victory seemed so certain then for Grigori and his forces that it gave them a sense of tunnel vision for their own objectives as they fixed their eyes upon the pitiful Governor and his pleas for mercy. None of them noticed the wispy trail of smoke drifting low towards the center of the room from the vents until it was already too late.

Suddenly the room erupted into an explosion of smoke!

Grigori's men would be left to choke and gasp for air as the smoke seemed to have a life of its own and a particular hatred for them, wrapping itself around them as if to restrain them and totally obscure their vision. A few of them still had the sense to act quickly and try and take shots in the general direction of the hostages, but it seemed any of them who could break themselves from their coughing fits to lift their weapons suddenly found themselves seized more forcefully. Something within the smoke seemed to wrench their weapons away forcefully, or a sudden, sharp blow snapped their arms or send them flying off against the wall before they could get more than a shot or two off -- and never when they had their weapons aimed at the hostages.

Vincent floated among them swiftly, merging with the smoke when necessary to practically appear in several different places at once to dispatch the guards in a precise order he worked out through careful observation of them from the vents for the past hour as he awaited the perfect opportunity to make his move. In his astute observations he had formed a good idea of which among Grigori's men and machines looked the most troublesome, or the most alert, or the most bloodthirsty, and they were the first to find themselves disarmed by his smoke tendrils and swiftly dispatched with a kick.

None of them could see to launch much of a counterattack, and with the smoke so widely dispersed Vincent could feel each one of them and react almost instantly to their movements. He carefully planned and executed his attack to efficiently manage the situation, as his number one goal remained: let absolutely no harm come to the hostages. This inevitably meant he took a stray bullet or two in the chaos, though skillfully never to a vital area, if it meant protecting the hostages. Sometimes it was his only option as one of Grigori's goons made a "lucky" shot that threatened a hostage, and he had to willfully allow himself to take the hit instead of letting the bullet pass through his Logia form to hit the hostage.

And all this was well and good, except for the situation with the Governor. Vincent could not stop the robot holding him from releasing him once it became clear that Grigori's forces did not have a handle on the situation, and it left Vincent exposed as he tore towards the window, reaching his hand out as it turned into a long plume of smoke to chase after the screaming politician. Vincent caught hold of the Governor's arm as his hand formed at the end of the plume of smoke, and the rest of his body manifested in a crouch by the shattered window as he grimaced from the strain of using so much of his Moku Moku powers and the few errant gunshot wounds he received. This left him vulnerable and exposed for a moment right next to the robot that had released the politician. Vincent glared up at his, gritting his teeth in silent, defiant fury.

He had heard what he assumed to be Grigori's voice emanating from the machine only moments before, so he surmised the man might see him through the robot's eyes now on the edge of the huge cloud of smoke that obscured the view of the hostages and the rest of the room. This also meant that, for whatever reason, the great and mighty Hellforge had failed in his mission to subdue the terrorist so far, and Vincent silently cursed the Vice Admiral.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬



The Yonko rose a brow curiously (( And out of surprise )) When his knee slammed into the open palm of the giants hand. First off, since when was a giant able to move so quickly ? He had been only inches away from his face second ago, yet the mammoth of a man had effectively rose his hand to stop his kick from connecting. But that wasn't the only thing that surprised him. Whether he had blocked it or its shouldn't have been a problem. Even at there weakest, there where very little people who could say they withstood a direct hit from an Emperor and didn't even flinch. Yet here he was, knee still pressed closed to the giants palm, and he hadn't even blinked . Mateo smiled to himself. Even with a Tekkai, it was very impressive Karl had withstood his attack with no visible effect. But what was be planning on doing ? Staying in a frozen state of Tekkai to avoid being injured ? "I'll have to put a bit of more 'Oomph' in my strikes . Not bad" if he thought turning himself to Iron was gonna save him for Mateo's brutal strength, he had another thing coming . Rather wildly and out of nowhere, the air around them began to superheat once more , blowing upwards into the sky and causing Mateo's bow to become undone. His hair flaring wildly in the air with the wind, the Yonko was pressed back slightly by the massive palm just as Karl mentioned there was no one who could beat him when it came to heat. As the hammer came once more towards him, Mateo simply spun and turned towards the incoming weapon just as it slammed into him, his body bursting into flames and allowing the hammer to phase right through him as booth portions of Mateo's now split fiery frame vanished with the uprising wind. Although he couldn't be seen, his voice boomed nonchalantly around the now 'Hell hole' the two of them had effectively created.

"You're very confident in your abilities, Hellforge, but you still don't understand the predicament you've placed yourself into . Allow me to show you " all at once, what was left of the small town center they where in would literally bursts into massive white flames ,the fire rising high into the sky and above the buildings to almost touch the barrier surrounding the city. By now, for sure, tempatures had increased dramatically within the barrier, snow effectively being removed from the equation. They where in hell now. Mateo's Hell.

Someone like Karl, who's devil fruit controlled heat, would feel that the white flames licking the area around him where not by any means something to just not pay attention too. Even with the increased 2000 degrees provided by the the massive giant, the heat provided by the fire could still be felt. When was the last time the Atsu Atsu no Mi user had been burned, if ever ? Only two users like them could ever survive in a super heated place like this, and Mateo was about to show Karl that heating up this place would actually work against him this time.

"You may be 'Heat', but I am 'Fire' . There is nothing I can't set ablaze" although it would be hard to make out because of the distorted space and fiery hot wind, Mateo's fiery shape would once more blast into life right above Karl, this time however the flames that set him ablaze where white, just like the ones he was controlling around them. It looked like he was actually taking Hellforge seriously, his normal fire power wouldn't work on him . A vein throbbing vividly on the side of his neck to show he was actually putting effort into his next attack, the Fire Emperor would blast once more into Karl, both hands clasped together to bring them down atop the giants head at full force like a hammer itself. He was packing much more strength into it then he had before, not taking the giant lightly, and aiming to give him a concussion. The fire also helped him accelerate and give his strike the extra 'Oomph' he spoke of, yet his attack didn't stop there . As soon as his attack would connect, all of the massive white flames around them would swirl to life, and lash out at the same time towards Karl threatening to engulf him completely . "Mera Mera no Mi; White Blazing Funeral" the color of the flames would indicate that there tempatures where way above average, and it also seemed like the flames, as they traveled, where syphoning the hot air around them to increase in size. An attack of this magnitude and power was obviously meant to kill Karl, whether he was a 'Heat' human or not. Mateo's body would once more flicker in the air to life above the current destruction below, awaiting to see if the giant survived the attack.

"Of course its hot, its a desert." A hint of a smile crossing her face. While Gale could come off as a bit fussy some of the time, Lucia was quite fond of her ensign. While not as hot as a full desert, the artificial island was certainly warm, she assumed Gale was playing it up. She wasn't exactly the best at judging temperature though as a side effect of her fruit powers granted her higher than normal resistance to heat. Despite this, however, she still had a good deal of sweat on her forehead, as the strain of creating and maintaining this island was no small feat.

Crouched down off of Gale's little oasis, Lucia' arm churned and shifted, a tendril of sand connecting her more directly to the desert as she checked for any movements of the pirates. Creating the island she had gotten a firm grasp on the location of the Cherries' ship, she held off on making any further moves, at least until the pirates had left their ship and gotten themselves into a more vulnerable position. If they leave the ship she would have them, especially their devil fruit users, at her mercy.

"Hopefully this won't take too long..." Her most recent search through the sand had bore fruit, detecting someone leaving the ship. Taking a moment to identify their numbers, a task made slightly more difficult by a very sudden, very massive impact near the pirate ship. "Start getting ready, they're starting to move. There are... three moving away from their ship now." Lucia continued to look as she gave her orders, if possible she wanted to catch as many of them as she can in the trap.
