Dazed and sweaty it seemed like the sea sickness had gotten to him. Struck with discomfort and horrible taste, Shadow grimaced at the flavor in his mouth as he threw up. The shackles on his hands made it difficult for him to wipe his face,he had to sit next to his own vomit because of how crowded his cell was. He sat chained to the ships floor in a 4 person cell with 10 other horrible smelling pirates. The aroma of rum and the lack of showers was strong in his environment and he was struggling to adjust to it.

The one lucky aspect of his grim situation was that the marines didn't know he was a devil fruit user. He had been imprisoned with the lower level crew members that were nothing but dock fodder. None in his cell had sea prison cuffs so he assumed they didn't have a devil fruit, which would make everything easier for him, shadow thought. He knew that escape would be quite a task, he wasn't considering the fact that he was at sea before resolving himself to get on the next closest island. Shadow couldn't stand the thought of being judged by some marine official he had no respect for, but he knew his options were limited at this point.

It had been a few weeks into shadow's imprisonment, he had memorized the schedule of the guards and their duties as well as some other pieces of essential information. Shadow had a plan ready, but he had to know where they were.

As a guard who shadow had sweet talked approached the cell routinely, shadow got up and walked towards the cell door as far as he could. The chains on his hand were straining but he was used to the pain.

"So it looks like our portion sizes are diminishing, have we been naughty prisoners or are you just greedy?" remarked shadow. Shadow grinned as he made the remark and so did the guard.

" I have been a little hungrier actually, but here let me help you out" said the marine as he bent over where he had placed shadows food and spat into it.

"There you go, have some sides with that!"  jeered the marine with a devilish smile painted on his face. As the marine stood up shadow kicked the tray with the food upward into the marines face and clothes. The small servings of food were slowly dripping off of his extremities. The marines slick smile turned into a horrid frown full of anger and hate.

The marine slammed his key into the door and kicked it open, only to rush in and grab shadow by the neck. He slammed him up against the wall of the ship and raised him up against it. His grip around shadows neck didn't budge abit. Shadows grin was now a serious face of dislike and discomfort, you could see the emotion building in his eyes.

"You stupid chum buckler, il kill you right now and no one will think twice! Il be a hero who killed a pirate!" The marine yelled with harsh intense emotion surging from his vocal cords. There was a pause of silence no one spoke, they all watched as the marine slowly squeezed the breathe out of shadows lungs. Shadow slowly raised his hand to grip the marines wrist . He began to apply force and slowly started to forcibly pull the marines hand back. Shadow and the marine were trembling from all of the tension and effort being put into the 2 simple actions. When shadow had the marines hand off of his neck , he whispered while coughing, " Im no damn pirate!!"

The enraged marine slammed his foot into Shadowspark's stomach with tremendous force. Shadow coughed some more and spat up some saliva and what seemed to be vomit, as he fell to his hands knee's in front of the marine. Shadow grabbed his stomach as he felt the marines toe print in his spleen.

"Picking on the defenseless huh...You damn marines speak about justice but your the same as any of us rum chugglers!"

The marine quickly attacked the chained speaker, a large bearded pirate with pale skin and blonde hair. He wrappings around his head and eye as if he'd been attacked. The marine kneed him in the stomach as well and when the man bent forward in pain the marine delivered a strong right uppercut to the large fellows jaw knocking him backwards on his ass.

With a wicked grin the marine stepped on the mans and began to press down. The pirate was strained and grimacing with pain, he could barley hold in his howls as the marine released him and headed to exit the cell.

"Stylo-pinky finger-Shadow grip!" whispered Shadow. His pinky finger changed into its pen-head form and released some ink that quickly traveled along the floor. As it approached the marine who was about to turn to close the cell it changed it's shape and mimicked. the mans shadow shape. It trailed behind him as if it were a true shadow.  Shadow panted in pain and discomfort as the marine slammed the cell door, he was about to grasp for the lock when all of a sudden he started choking. Grasping at his neck the marine stumbled backwards in a panic trying to cry out for help but he couldn't get a word out. Struggling he slammed and thrashed against his surroundings, he knocked over a barrel of rum in his haste and unknowingly slipped on the very same substance. As he squirmed and graveled on the floor the cell door creeked open very loudly, everyone around the cell block but shadow looked at the ominous situation....the door was wide open...and the guard had ceased his squirming.

"you have a devil fruit huh....im guessing that's why he started coughing up a lung....that or we should prepare for death from that black substance around his neck..." said the bearded blonde fellow who had now sat up and seemed unscathed.

Shadow stood in silence with shackles around his wrists, he stared down at the motionless body of the uniformed oppressor.

As he stared down at his situation Shadow said " help me escape and il set you free."
Silence filled the entire cell block,as prisoners in different cells began approaching their cell doors. Some grabbed the rails others just sat there looking a Shadow as he looked up to his surroundings to notice them as well. The large bearded man stood up as well, "Im captain Noir" he said with a large half grin, "We'll help ya, just as long as we get the ship"

"Do as you please just get me to arlong park" replied Shadow. Shadow raised his hand and said "erase", the black substance around the marines neck unraveled and floated into shadows hand,it began to deform until it had the shape of a sword. Shadow flexed his muscles and used as much force as he could until the shackles finally snapped. He now had the 2 arm rings still on his wrists but that would be all that would retrain him for awhile. He used the same strength again and slashed downward at the bearded man.....cutting his shackles in half.

Shadow raised his sword to the free mans neck,"i don't like pirates" said shadow with a deathly look. "hahaha, then your gonna love me" said the bearded pirate as he removed shadows sword tip from his neck.

"Thank you...my wrists were a little sore" said Steven Bleu, first mate of the now free slim pirates. Shadow and the crew in the initial cell had quietly snuck through the remaining cell block to get to the rest of the prisoners free. Oddly enough there weren't anymore guards down in the prison block... "Not a uniform in sight" said Captain Noir.

"They must be hoisting the masses.....were close to land captain!" exclaimed Mr.bleu. Shadow gazed at him as he proclaimed his bold statement, a plan slowly started to piece together in his head.

"Ahh that means we can thrash them after they do the work for us! hahahaha, Mr.Bleu , take half of the boys to the rear and await the sounds of death before you come, DON'T GET IMPATIENT YOU DIRTY HOUND! hahahaha" yelled the captain with his obnoxious laugh.

"Aye captain, just don't kill them all!" said Mr.bleu as he took off, half of the crew members, with shackles still on their wrist's rushed after him grabbing anything they could find along the way.

"Don't worry...there's more than enough...." whispered Noir under his breath, his facial expression from a devious grin to a worry-full frown.

"We can't let this turn into an all out fight on the tides." stated shadowspark as the second group, the captain, and shadow headed to the barracks entrance. " I don't do to well in the sea" remarked shadow.

"Ahh but your little fruit seems like it'd be useful! Whats your name anyways?" Questioned Noir with a curious look on his face. "Aziz.....from the north blue" said shadow as he tried to conceal his identity.
" Well then ZIZ, don't die too quickly hahahaha " chuckled Noir as they positioned themselves at the door. Half of the men were piled on the stairs while the rest waited in anticipation for the next order.

On the way to free the rest of the prisoners shadow spoke to the captain about causing a main disruption and then creating independent smaller disruptions to split the naval force into fractions. Shadow understood the strength of individual marines, he knew they were trained servants of "justice" and that they wouldn't let them do as they pleased. The issue came when considering the strength of the pirates, shadow had no idea who he was fighting along side, but their captain did seem somewhat sturdy.

The captains group was to initiate the attack by breaking the prison barracks door and heading to the upper deck. Steve bleu's team was to wait and then draw an attack from the forces that were focused on the captain. Once 2 initial fighting fronts were formed shadow was to take a smaller group and attempt to take the helm, which in turn would draw off some enemies as well. Shadow knew the navies numbers would be an issue too, so he hoped this plan would even out the situation,make it a 1:2 fighting ration instead of a 1:5.

(Focus Change)

"Damn it, wrong way!" yelled Steve bleu. Steve had command of the first team and knew his objective, but seemed as if he'd never get there. The naval warship was quite the vessel, and not just because of its fire power. This naval warship was massive, it's main deck looked down on the main mast of many a ship! The naval warship was a symbol of great intimidation!
"Where is this damn rear deck!" screamed bleu in anger, the crew behind him was getting anxious to fight. It had been some time since there imprisonment and they wanted revenge against the navy. Contrary to popular belief the marines weren't huge vessels of kindness, their voyage to prison had been miserable,and shadows indecisive demeanor had been the partial cause.

A loud bang and crackle was suddenly heard throughout the group. Steve gripped his sword tight and turned around anticipating marines....but he found a sliced barrel of gunpowder. A crew member had attacked it in a loss of emotional control, and now he was hyping up the crowd.
"To hell with this running! Im tired of these damn marines, lets go get us a warship boys!!!" yelled the anxious crew member. Gradually others joined his onslaught of noise making and destruction until...

Suddenly the audible crew member was on his back...everyone fell silent. He grimaced in pain as a heel began to dig into his chest. It turned in its position and then was brought up and slammed right back down on his chest a second time. " What are you stupid?! or dumb!?" yelled Bleu. His anger was now evident in his bloodshot eyes, and red veins outlining his pupils. "You want all those marines to come fight us here in the armory?! Why don't you stay and greet them then!" exclaimed bleu loudly as he again and again slammed his heel into the crew members chest and stomach and diaphragm. The crew member began to spit up blood and lose conciousness before other crew members wrestled the second mate off of him.

After struggling free steve looked at the injured crew member " You better not slow us down....or il kill you before any of these marines.....". Steve began to turn and walk away as he uttered those intense words, but before he could get completely around he was slammed in the face and sent flying backwards 10ft into the back of the armory wall. A door had been launched off of it's hinges and now left a rectangular void standing between the rest of the crew...and newly arrived marines...

"CHARGE!!!!!!!!!!" yelled Noir as the first of his crew blasted their way through the door that marked their freedom. More and more of the crew poured through the door loudly, weapons clanking against the wooden floor and walls, the un-coordinated sound of feet stomping the ground. In between the surge of chaos walked 2 large figured men, even though their body sizes were nothing alike, they both seemed to strut with their chins held high. Shadowspark and Captain Noir calmly exited through the door along with the crew onto the main deck....

Empty and desolate, the pirates stared at the endless horizon in front of them, that yielded a partial view of an incoming land. With baffling looks on most faces ,the obvious question came to surface.
"Huh....where's the navy?" asked the crew member, "They must of ran when they heard us" exclaimed another pirate.
"Huh, what's going on here??"   Slowly the rest of the crews curiosity began to overcome them and a loud uproar began to form as the confusion spread. With the deck clear Captain Noir began to move freely while wading through the crowd, he headed towards the helm to attempt to address his crew from a high place.

"oi! oi! scum bags! listen up!"

Stunned in place those up front couldnt overcome their instincts. Intimidation had ripped their nerves out and now they starred into the abyss of hate that stood in front of them. It's shadow stretched far over all the crew, standing past even Mr.bleu. The crew's ambitions deteriorated as the truth of their situation became a reality...delivered to them in the form of " Steel...Edgar " stuttered a pirate..

As his consciousness slammed back into his body, columns of pain swept through him repeatedly. Continuous discomfort surged through Steve's nose and chest as his left eyebrow yielded pouring blood to blind his left eye as well. He grasped at his chest in vain to try and rip the pain out but to no avail.

"AHHHHHHHHH DAMNNN IT!!" screamed bleu at the top of his lungs. He threw his hands on the ruble for support and launched himself on his feet. He wiped the blood off of his eye in order to lessen the accumulation but failed as his life source continued to leak from him. Steve proceeded towards his sword that was embedded into the ground, gaining strength in every other step he took. As he opened up his eye to widen his focus he realized his comrades were littering the floor, the sudden uproar began to fade into his ears as the ringing began to fade. Steve suddenly realized exactly the situation and flexed his muscles to their extent as his fingers and palms gripped his sword. With his dominant hand farther on the hilt, his intent to slash as he pulled the sword became evident.

With all his might, steve exerted force upward and out, the sword began to slowly budge and then suddenly slash right through the iron floor of the warship. As the sword's sharp edge cut through the iron, steve released a slash of power outward in the direction of the door, the area he was going to face before he got attacked, the area now covered by a large figure with a large sword in hand.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! IRON FRICTION SLASH!" screamed steve as he released the slash.

The attack quickly traveled to the door slicing the floor underneath it and the cieling above on it's path, along with 4 marines that were in the way. The attack arrived but not before being stopped in the palm of edgar's hand....Edgar gripped the slash in his hand as it made contact and squeezed until it was destroyed...Smoke began to rise from Edgar's hand as he starred in Steve's direction who now wore a very serious and long frown on his face.

Steve straightened himself up and gripped his sword with one hand in front of him, "don't get in my way."

"Big talk for a little sword" said Edgar.

"Size doesn't matter."

"Say those who don't have any."

" Fine then, lets see what size gash il leave in your skull!"

"Hmph, big talk..."





                                 

Techniques: Friction sword style- Sword style based on the force exe

"!!!!CAPTAIN!!!" Yelled scores of pirates as a sword from a swinging marine had just finished slashing through Noir's shoulder. Noir stumbled forward alittle before dropping to his knee's grasping at his shoulder.  Blood began to pour out of the deep wound as his crew rushed towards him and others after the marine. As they approached, the marines swinging on the masts jumped towards the rushing pirates to engage them from above. As steel from above slid into the helpless flesh below, so did steel from below clash with the falling marines above.

An uproar suddenly filled the deck as the marines and pirates began to fight for control. Because of a sneek attack the pirates were caught off gaurd,the in suing  chaos would make the plan to difficult to accomplish.

"Ink windmill blade" suddenly yelled shadow spark, as a palm size wind mill blade  spun from his ink-tip and sliced through the main mast support. The giant piece of wood began to tumble downward onto the deck, destroying the other masts on the way and bringing down marines with it.

3 pirates jumped up into the air, with their swords and metal pipes raised above their heads, as gravity began to pull them downward the force carried in their blades began to increase. The pirates sliced downward with all their might at edgar's shoulders and neck. Steel had his sword intangled with 2 large steel poles held by 2 large fat pirates. The 2 outlaws exerted all of their strength to keep steel tangled up, but as the 3 pirates began their fall edgar sensed the murderous intent.

Steel ripped his sword backwards and used his rear pivot foot to spin him around as he dragged his sword to build force with the friction. Once one of the bandits was in his sights steel pushed his sword in a upward path until he was certain he'd collide with one of them. The captain's sword quickly met the first pirates' and made a loud clanging sound, which was followed by 2 other similar sounds. Edgar's force slammed them into the wall behind them, incapacitating the 3.

Edgar stared for a second before the loud grunt of mr.Bleu drew his attention.

Steve grunted an winced as he felt the pain and discomfort left on his body from Steel's attacks, he was barley fending of 3 marines while only using one hand on the sword, the other gripping his side. The second mate was being forced towards the wall, all he could do was position his sword in front of him to be smacked aside by vicious vessels of justice.

As Mr.Bleu backed up one last step his ankle encountered the wall before touching the ground. Bleu knew he had to react, and that he did. Steve gripped his sword with both hands to match the next incoming blow in strength. Steve grunted loudly as the resulting force of the sword clash rippled through his muscles and wounded area alike. Stunned by the pain Steve didn't move out of the way of an incoming punch from one of the marines and stumbled to one knee in front of the enemy.

The marine in front of Steve raised his sword above his head and quickly slashed downward at his neck, but before he could begin his descent he lost grip of the sword as well as his balance. Everyone on the ship suddenly fell forward in a violent jerk. A loud long creeking and screeching sound echoed through out the ship after an initial bang!

Shock and panick surged through Edgar's veins as he scrambled for his balance so he could sprint to the stairs. After attaining sufficient balance he blasted through the door of the lower decks onto the upper deck.

The marine's eyes shot out of his forehead (in an "enel" manner) as the shock settled in, in a harsh manner. Steel couldn't believe what he was seeing....

Shadow winced in pain as he struggled to get free, He had been pinned behind some sliding creates from behind him as the ship ran into the port.

"Stylo" grunted Shadow as his right hand turned into a pen-tip. Shadow raised his pen arm up into the air only to violently bring it down in a slashing motion. With the resulting force Shadow was able to cut the large create in half freeing himself along with it. Relief poured through Shadow's legs and hips, he made an attempt to get up but the soreness made it a difficult task.

After gathering himself shadow looked around the deck to understand the situation again, so many sudden changes and events had thrown the prison brake into more chaos. This was to the advantage of the pirates, because of the crash now everyone was evenly spread apart after being thrown,there was almost a 3:1 ratio,one pirate for every 3 marines. Odds that didn't sound great but that would be beneficial for Shadow's true plan.

Shadow suddenly felt relief, as if a weight had been removed from his shoulders. He then realized his windmill must have been destroyed or released. Shadow dazed in wonder, he pondered whom could have been strong enough to destroy his ink?....was there someone as strong as him on the ship? "THE CAPTAIN!" said Shadow to himself as he guessed who had sparked his interest.

As Shadow stood there the enemies behind him encircled him, not realizing their presence 2 coat wearing marines stood in front of him, sword in hand. 2 other marines each gathered along his sides with nothing but the captains cabin behind him.

"Your a devil fruit user!?" yelled one of the coated marines. They gripped their swords tightly as they readied themselves for a fight against a fruit. With resolve and determination in their hearts all 4 marines charged at Shadow.

Shadow scarcely had time to react after the marine had spoken. He now had 4 charging enemies that didn't seem to be push overs. Shadow raised his pen hand in a defense position and was about to say something when...

" Damn all these pirates!! They sunk the ship!!" yelled a muscular looking marine as he fell from the sky above Shadow. He had a sword above his head and was preparing to slice Shadow once he fell close enough. Shadow looked up as the marine was almost on top of him to acknowledge the threat. As he was quickly analyzing the falling marine he heard a footstep to his left, the attacking marines were now right there and Shadow couldn't bring his head down fast enough to see where they were coming from.

"CHO!" screamed Shadow, with his pen on his right hand. From his left wrist to his left shoulder a red aura began to pour out of his wrist and defy gravity as it quickly covered his arm. It looked similar to a haki users armament but red instead!

Shadow looked down as 2 swords were slashing at his neck from 2 opposite directions. Shadow shot both of his hands upward, his left fully extending above his head , and his right pen jamming in between the 2 blades to hold them  from his throat.

Shadow felt immense force and pressure as the 2 marines exerted the rest of their strength on the sides of shadows pen, but that force wasnt as strong as the momentum the lone marine had gained from falling.

The marine in the sky slashed downward with all of his might at the back of shadows neck. He could hear the wind struggle to move out of the swords path with a loud wisp! As the blade edge descended it was suddenly stopped and a loud "metal to metal" collision sound was heard...

The marines eye's were held open with astonishment as he couldnt pierce the obstacle. Shadow suddenly started to squeeze,the marine felt he had lost control of the sword and his balance so he tried to move himself backwards in the air. He pressed against the sword so he would be albe to fly back, as he lurched backward he suddenly got jerked back into place and was now dangling, feet inches from the ground, arms extended, and tightly gripping the sword.....Shadow flexed his muscles and the blade cracked in a line and then shattered....

The blade fell out of shadows hand in 2 pieces as he starred at the 2 marines who he had sword locked. Suddenly the 2 remaining marines speed blitzed the 3 enemies and slashed at shadow with both of their swords. Shadow quickly released the lock and jumped to his side, were the airborne marine had fallen.

The marine raised his hand to punch at shadow, but it only fell to the ground as shadow brought his pen tip in an upwards slicing motion. Shadow clenched his left fist and slammed it into the marines jaw releasing his fist only after the enemy had slammed a hole through the captains cabin.

As soon as Shadow released his fist he heard an assortment of footsteps gathering towards him quickly. Shadow spun around as fast as he could while bringing his pen to eye level

"Ink-shot" yelled shadow as several black circular balls that seemed just like canon balls but alot smaller shot from the pen tip. Shadow's aim seemed to be off as none of the balls hit the enemies as they ran at him, they weren't dodging, Shadow just wasn't hitting them...

Bang, BOOOOOM,powwwwwwwww, Loud explosions echoed throughout the deck as marines and their appendages  rained down from the sky. Shadow had left large holes in the deck, in the places the ink-shots had landed. They weren't bullets they were tiny canon balls, and Shadow had exaggerated with them. Shadow was now blasting at several different groups of unsuspecting, distracted marines with his ink-shots, and the result was the same every time.

The red coating was no longer on Shadow's left hand, it seemed to have decimated in the chaos of explosions.

The ship was stuck inside of the dock,which was now almost destroyed but vacant of innocent victims. The deck of the ship was in no better condition, shadow had helped begin to set the ship blaze, with holes glittered all over the ground almost as much as bodies.

In the chaos of battle shadow had lost sight of his plan, he quickly scattered looking around for Noir. As he made his way across the deck he encountered 2 charging marines each with a sword in hand. As they all neared each other the marines prepared and then slashed through shadow. Shadow had done the same to them, now they all stood silently....backs towards each other...

The marines took a step forward and attempted to sheath their swords...One of the marines right arm fell to the floor, and the other marines left arm fell as well...Blood shot out of their empty arm sockets but not as much as the blood that was horizontally pouring out from  their stomachs...


Shadow attempted to take a step forward also, as he looked up his eyes opened wide and he stopped in his tracks.......

"Noir!!!!!" yelled Shadow, as noir was on his knees...hands dangling....as he starred into the sky....with a sword buried in his chest...by a large,tall figure...the same man that had imprisoned him...
