It was a simple sounding call out. A small payday for a hunter to help the Marines shut down a warehouse full of armed thugs. And they had to do it on her home Island. The Devil's Bride (at least thats what she hopes other will call her in the future) Kari Natalia Val was ducked behind the barrel waiting to see who else was coming to back her up. Most likely she was going to be the back up, but why burst her ego bubble.
The twin tailed blonde had all of her weapons on her today. Her outfit was actually a throw back to her home. A full black one piece suit with a black mask pulled over her nose and mouth. Black sash around the mid section held her wakizashi in place. Black wrapping around her thighs kept her kunai at the ready. Dazzling blue eyes looked around at the thugs on patrol. really mangy looking. Not too bright. But they had numbers. As the patrol walked into the warehouse, the tabi donned feet of hers took off, keeping low until she found a good hiding place behind a set of barrels.
From here she could smell the scent of sliced fruits of all different flavors. Just the scent made her mouth water. The sound of machines slicing the juicy succulent fruit made it a much harder temptation to resist. She had not eaten today. As she was just about to make her first move to secure an entrance, one of the thugs walked by, munching an apple. Seeing the bright red skin and feeling a bit of the juice hit her forehead was too much to handle. She sprang up from behind the barrels like a ravenous tiger, pounced her prey, kicked his head, and zoomed back behind the barrel to eat an apple. |

[attr="class","yes"]Yoizuki had a bit more trouble staying out of sight, scrunching long body up the best he could to stay hidden beside Kari. This being his first mission with his new captain lead to a mixture of emotions. He was nervous about his own performance, worrying that he would be unable to meet her expectations. At the same time it was just so exciting! He finally had a partner, a friend to travel alongside. Being alone wasn't suiting him well at all, so it was a relief to finally have the company. And she seemed like such a sweet thing. Unlike the girl, his clothing was the same as always. A plain white shirt, jeans and sneakers, a rather dull and boring affair. Seeing her all geared up for the mission was almost enough to make him rethink his attire. But he wasn't quite sure how comfortable he would be in such an outfit.
Eyes widened as she suddenly sprung into action, moving from one barrel to another without drawing any attention to herself. Peeking around the side of his hiding place he watched her curiously, unsure whether or not he should follow or start forging his own path forward. Did she want him to silently follow and serve as backup? Or maybe he should split off so they could strike from multiple angles. Oh the options! He flinched as he watched her incapacitate the guard, only to be pleasantly surprised that she subdued him without alerting his comrades. He smiled widely and nodded to her, clearly impressed by her display. She certainly wasn't going to be needing him as backup.
Peeking around the opposite side as where Kari jumped out, searched for someplace he could relocate to. After making sure the coast was clear he quickly slipped behind a stack of crates, managing to reach his new location without drawing any attention. With a deep breath he drew his dagger, holding up his new piece of equipment for one last examination. Such an interesting design. He found himself somewhat eager to try them out, slowly looking around the corner hoping to see a filthy pirate to test his blade on. Alas there was no one heading his way, much to his dismay. His attention then turned to his captain, crouching to her eye level as he waited for her to make a move. This was her operation, so the best he could do was follow her lead for now.

Just as Yoizuki arrived over to his final location, she had finished the apple. She didn't want to leave evidence of her presence, mainly because of her training. Tucking the core into her sash, she drew her wakzashi and held them in front of her the blades were pointing up and the sharp edge pointed towards her. In all appearences, it seemed like she was going to be striking her foes with the blunt side. She cast a simple look over to her hunting partner. Watching his actions and determining what she would have to work on. First and foremost she would need to get him a memo board or something so he would REMEMBER TO MAKE BREAKFAST IN THE *^&%$@^*$&(&G MORNING! While the rest of her was quiet, calm, and cold like a cemetary, the glance she shot him looked like it could send him there.
Just in time to save him, the door clicked open. That was their in. With a quick nod, Kari ran out around the barrels and right past the two thugs in the door. The men collpased behind her clutching their sides. The sides kari had just ran past was bleeding heavily. The abnormal way she held her short katanas made standing in her wake a dangerous area. The blades would slice cleanly through with her speed not her strength as the guiding factor. Her height, when swept forward and arms hangign by her sides left the blades at a dangerous level of the abdomen.
She was inside the warehouse, hiding. The dispatching of the two new guards not yet noticed, but they would be seen within seconds. Just enough time to get in and possibly make the first strike. |

[attr="class","yes"]What he saw when he looked over to his captain sent a shiver down his spine. While the look she gave him instilled fear, he felt as if he deserved it. He was just so excited about the mission that he forgot he was supposed to make rice balls for breakfast. He was going to have to find a way to make it up to her after they were done here.
The sound of the door opening demanded his immediate attention, quickly drawing his second dagger in anticipation for their next movement. He followed close behind her, holding his blades up as he was poised to strike any pirate in their path. Though Kari seemed to have it covered, dispatching those in their way before he had a chance to strike. Once inside the warehouse he slipped to the side he knew that the stealth portion of the mission was about to come to an end. With those guards dead and their bodies in the open it was only a matter of time before someone sounded the alarm. Tightening his grip on his daggers he took a defensive stance, just waiting for things to kick off. While he was never fond of conflict, there was something exciting about crossing blades with pirates. They deserved whatever happened to them here, and it would be his privilege to deliver.

With her partner standing in a flanking position, Kari got a quick assesment of the thugs inside. Roughly twenty of them. One boss all the way in the back. He was easily spotted in his white business suit and cane. Sure enough, there was little time before the two bodies at the door holding open the sunlight was found. It was the boss though who screamed at the top of his lungs to close the door. This turned all of thier attention towards the two. Kari popped up on one of the barrels and stood like Wonder woman, Hands on her hips, blades pointing towards the audience. "I am Kari N. Val. Captain of the Heaven's Bounty! And I am taking you all down right now!"
There was a slight silence in the warehouse, only the sound of machines and fruit going around before all the thugs started laughing. Two falling over clutching their sides. But the hillarity ended when she held up her hand. She had their attention. She then moved her hand swiftly forward. There was a pucker factor of eight going around the factory as many were expecting reinforcements to storm in. But the only thing that happened was one man screaming in pain as he fell, A Kunai lodged in his groin. Kari was leaping through the air, coming down with a slashing pounce on another thug. |

[attr="class","yes"]It seemed that stealth had officially gone out the window. He stared in shock as she jumped on top of one of the barrels, fully expecting someone to charge at her or shoot her square in the head. He swiftly moved and positioned himself in front of her, crouching so as not to hide her but taking a stance ready to strike anyone who made a move towards her. Fortunately a quick scan of the room revealed no one was pointing a gun at her just yet, something that came as a relief.
Their response to his captain's introduction hit a nerve with the bushy haired chef, eye twitching as the sound of their wretched laughs invaded his ears. How dare they? How dare they laugh in the face of the punishment for their wicked deeds? These were surly good for nothing criminals well deserving of the death he would so joyfully deliver. And it seemed Kari was on the same page, as she had already made the first move. Eyes hardened as he watched the scum before him, his hands beginning to spin quickly with his daggers positioned to slice anything along their circular path. A handful of pirates who decided to keep an eye on him rather than watching Kari were shocked to see a genuine devil fruit user in their facility. They hesitated a moment before drawing their blades, unsure what to make of the sight.
Yoizuki on the other hand wasn't about to hesitate. This wasn't only a chance to avenge all those harmed by these disgusting men, it was a chance to prove to his new captain he was of use outside of the kitchen. He kicked off the ground, charging at a group of three who were focused on him at the moment. One of them swung their sword at him only to have it batted aside by one of Yoizuki's pinwheels, the force of his spinning blades easily overpowering the simple downward swing. In response he moved the same hand used to parry the blow forward, shredding the man's sword arm. Now with one arm and in too much pain to do much else but scream, the bounty hunter lifted a leg and delivered a swift kick to the man's chest, knocking him to the ground so he could writhe in pain without getting in his way. Hopefully he would die of blood loss before the battle was over.

Well it seemed he at least knew how to gut small fish with skill. She looked to the sixteen other men as they drew their blades. Seemed they weren't wanting to attract more attention with the sound of gunfire. "Whirlwind, Welcome to the first stage of hell. Move quickly and wipe out as many as you can with each stroke. The one in the back, white suit. He's mine. No boss fights for you until after the third stage." With her final instructions sent out, Kari stood up from her fallen prey and slumped back a bit as if her arms weighed a ton. As a group of five men rushed her, she slumped forward and basically flipped over the first two, landing in the center of the five. She went into a side leg split and whipped her hair around. The kunai in her hair moved quickly. Her hair pulling back the handles as the blade tip ripped through thier stomachs.
With her cover about to fall from the five, she moved her legs in front of her and tumbled backwards, moving up to a handstand before landing on her feet, the wakizashi having rotated on the ground so she was holding both of them as anyone would. Now they were down to eleven....no twelve. One of the men she sliced open didn't completely fall over and was on his knees, about to slah towards her. Tough bastard. She took a half step back, but not to retreat. She twisted her hips and then shot her left foot into her right foot, which propelled it up and sent it flying to her side, which connected under his chin, knocking him out. At least now he would be unconcious when he died. While she had to focus on her own attackers and target, she had to keep an eye out for Yoizuki. Not only taking in his tactics and abilities, but also seeing if he was ready for second stage. |

[attr="class","yes"]Whirlwind? If he weren't engaged with two other pirates at the moment he would have questioned this little moniker. Surely he wasn't deserving of such a thing. He was simply Yoizuki. Or Ryoshi. It was an interesting feeling to be called something else. He couldn't be sure whether or not he even liked it until he could put some actual thought into it. For now he had a job to finish. The other two pirates in his vicinity drew their swords, each moving to attack him at a different angle in hopes of avoiding the fate of their comrade. Hands swiftly moved to intercept their blades, the rotation of the blades causing them to collide into the ground. His pinwheels them moved for their abdomens, the sharpened blades easily tearing through their flesh and eviscerating them. To think, five years ago the sight would have made him sick. But now it was no different than gutting fish.
Hands stopped rotating, grip on his blades tightening as he scanned the room for targets. Nine of them were still standing, and they seemed far more interested in Kari than himself. She was the one who issued the challenge, after all. And she already killed five of them, making her the bigger threat in the moment. But this could work in his advantage. He sprinted over to a cluster of four who were only a few yards from reaching Kari. As he drew near he extended his lanky arms, his entire torso starting to spin like a propeller. Tilting at his waist, he caused his arms to spin at a downward angle, aiming for the torsos of the pirates. He moved through the group, slashing them all numerous times along the way. The men were riddled with slashes, mostly across their chests and bellies. While not immediately lethal, any attempts at movement would only worsen their wounds. Even if they attempted to continue the fight they would be trivial to deal with.
