Welcome to Gaia! ::

Benjamin this time used his haki to actually get into the way of the bullets being fired at both himself and the other large fishman, and as each bullet hit him, it was absorbed in. "Have you Not heard of the Munitions Master?" And he frowned. He felt like fighting back, but didn't want to risk hurting Candy.

With a tug, the lure snapped off, Candy holding a wriggling chord of flesh in her hand.

"Ew!" she cried, tossing it away.

"Ugh! You b***h. Just wait 'til it grows back, you little brat!"

"Enough!"

Both Black Stache and Angler turned to the little girl they had brought with them, who had stood nearby the entire time, just watching with a smile. She stepped forward, adjusting her large, round glasses.

"I grow bored of watching you two stumble about. Leave them to me."

Black Stache and Angler knelt. "At once, Captain." they said in unison.

"Captain?" Candy wondered, shocked.

"Yes! I am Captain Origami!"

The girl tossed her book aside, holding her arms up. They morphed into paper tubes, while she sprouted four paper spider legs from her back, which lifted her tiny body off the ground.

"I was just a cabin girl on Red John's ship when No Name attacked. He killed my captain in cold blood, and the only family I'd ever known was scattered to the wind. But I found and ate the Pasa Pasa no Mi, a powerful Logia, and formed my own crew. A shame only Angler and Black Stache could come, but they're really all I need. I'll take care of you both myself."

She pointed both of her paper tube arms at the half-fishmen.

"Paper Cannonwad Summit!"

Her paper tube arms began firing wad after wad of crumpled paper balls, which... actually punched right through the walls every time they missed, meaning they were as hard as cannonballs and just as powerful.

"Listen up Angler and Black Stache! I didn't use this attack on you because you simply weren't worth it!" Benjamin shouted as He raised his right arm to point at the Paper Logia User. Then a cannonball formed just past the palm of his hand. "Boomer Bullet..." he said in a calm but very clearly assertive voice. and the cannon ball shot forth as if fired from a cannon. Whether it hit or was blocked, It would explode on impact in a blast of fire and shrapnel. even if it was dodged somehow, it would still create problems if it hit a load bearing wall.

Anshi saw the blast coming as he regenerated, extending a wall of three-inch obsidian from the side of his body tall enough to shield the other Wotan and long enough to reach Candy. While the blast did indeed level the rest of the building the area behind Anshi's wall and his body was (relatively) unscathed, the wood only managing to penetrate the wall in a few places and not managing to send any shrapnel through with enough force to pierce skin at any point. "You," he said, turning to look at the other Wotan, "are a very intemperate man, I perceive. Consider some calming meditations, perhaps?"

As the dust and rubble settled, movement could be seen where the tables used to be. Angler, Black Stache, and Captain Origami emerged from the piles of wood and stones, looking thoroughly hurt.

"You won't see the last of us!" Origami cursed, getting up and running away. Her two henchman soon followed her.

But there was soon another sound in the wrecked kitchen. Candy was gone. In her place was her waitress uniform lying in a heap on the ground, a small white bunny emrging from it, limping, its front leg bloodied.

Benjamin was concerned about candy when he saw she'd transformed into a rabbit, but he failed to make the connection between her empty clothing and the injured rabbit candy. He failed to realize exactly what would happen if she transformed back without those clothes...

Anshi examined the wound for a moment before reaching out slowly to touch one of his overlarge fingers to the shoulder just above it. Opaque green glass seemed to crystallize from his finger, forming a makeshift wrapping for it so the bleeding would stop. It was furtight, compressing the fur coating around the wound so that the blood would clot in it and stop the bleeding faster. It would slip if she moved her arm too much, so he also extended it up over her shoulder to form a brace that would restrict the movement of her upper arm. "That will stop you from bleeding out, I hope, but you still would do well to visit a doctor. If I offer my hand as a chair will you direct me towards one?"

Candy watched in awe as Anshi produced a glass cast for her arm. It didn't feel broken, though, so maybe 'cast' was the wrong word for it... A tourniquet? No, it wasn't cutting off circulation... The best she could think of was a full-arm glass bandage. It was a little tight, but that was to stop the bleeding.

"Um... Th-Thank you." she whimpered, in pain. It almost felt like something was lodged in her arm, possibly a piece of wooden shrapnel...

Nodding, she shakily stood, stepping onto Anshi's hand so he could lift her up.

"Th-The clinic is just to the right down the street, on the right side. L-Look for the three-story building with the red cross on it." she instructed both wotans.

"Um... I'm Candy. Who're you?" she asked Anshi. She would ask the other Wotan when they made it to the clinic.
