Island Lulusia Kingdom

[Emperor Cross]

# Geck'O was ready. The lizard threw the gun he had into the sea. The damn thing can't even work correctly, he had fired two shots and none of them seemed to faze Gordon's right hand. The red-scaled pirate let go of his grip on Mikami and landed on the ground. The swabby came with L'Enfant's belonging and our hero came to meet him awkwardly. In the punny human's hand were his jutte and the old man. Closing his eyes, Geck'O put the puppet in his left hand and it took life.

- " You imbecile ! How can you act that way ! To relinquish your responsibilities and leaving without your weapon ! Child ! I thought I raised you better than that..." said the puppet, hands wiggling and hitting the Lizard's arm.

Geck'O's mind was elsewhere, his hand was gripping the iron weapon hard. He had been lost without it, stripped bar. The lizard, began to walk and whirl it around, in the corner of his eyes he "saw" his captain or more like a blur moving to hit Gordon and his people.#

- "Who wants to die ?"

Upon the answer from the captain of the Einsauer's response, it would force Gordon's eyes to widen up then grabbed his axe and sword out. ' I guess I have no choice, huh ' ... contemplating on the situation that leads to this. The fishwoman would swirl and then unleash her chains aimed at Gordon. Responding in the manner he could only do so, was to grab the axe and sword before him as he only could do was then strike to alter the trajectory of the chains but only do so in the nick of time.

Despite his reaction to Gordon, he'd feel the burden of altering the trajectory as his hand felt the brunt of it through the handle of the sword as it pushed him back a few meters. ' What strength ... ' as he huffed and puffed.

Graze watching this would immediately shout out, " Order to retreat " Gordon hearing this would smile and point his axe at Einsauer ... " Another day you freak " as he made his way retreating away from the further scuffle.

Graze and Gordon had the same idea of retreating knowing this might have been their end against such a physical specimen.

The Lizard would speak at the same time as the Captain of the Einsauer pirates though Gordon and Graze paid him no heed and disembarked off the ship onto land and then into the forest.

At this moment a marine battalion made its move as Kibin prepared an armada against the Einsauer Pirates.

Sweet yanked her chain back from the clash with the captain of the Headtakers. She smirked at the enemy captain's insult and watched as the two heads of the ship turned tail. The tall fishwoman thought for a brief moment and then threw her chain out again, this time aiming for the lesser skilled right-hand; Graze. Her chain lurched forward along the ground, the metal links sliding directly towards the humans ankles during his retreat.

"Sweet Pirates, up and attem!" She hollered out. "Kill anyone who isn't kneeling!" The order rang out and the Sweet Pirate swabbies snapped to attention; going on the offensive towards any Headtaker underlings who followed the retreat order.
"Anyone else who wants to live to see the end of the Headtaker Pirates should stay on their knees until I have this sorted!"

Mikami, with a nervous grin, responded in kind. "ON IT, BIG TIME!" Then the enormous man prepared himself to pursue the enemy captain. "YOU WITH ME, LITTLE GUY?" The giant voice boomed at the lizard.

# He turned and swung his bag over his back. He looked at the giant man, smiled at him and pointed at Graze and his men .The lizard had been ready for them, he knew that when Sweet would appear, they would try to run away. He dodged the swabbies easily. He lunged forward and executed a perfect somersault above one of them. The Lizard, now on the ground, snarled as he pressed forward. Knowing that the time he had Mikami for backup. The old man, struggled and swore, but it was no use - Geck’O wasn’t listening, he wasn’t going to stop until Graze was caught. The young pirate ran after them, expecting the Giant to go past them and block their way while the rest would block the path from behind. #

Lulusia Kingdom - Part 4
@Einsauer @L'Empereur​

Whilst the conflict at sea was taking place the Queen frustrated and ranted, " How dare they bare fangs in our oceans, I want them dead, DEAD, DEAD! " followed with some deep sighs as the King sat in his chair in thought before he requested for a Den Den, " Fetch me a Den Den, it's urgent. Hurry up " ... Unknown to the Einsauer Pirates and Headtakers, the very call was to Commodore Kibin with the order to annihilate both parties but keep the captain of the Headtaker alive and reign him into the royal palace.

Meanwhile back at the port, whilst Graze and Gordon flee'd with the many headtakers that were with them would be fleeing until a huge thud could be heard, though, to Einsauer's surprise, an underling would push Graze overboard as he barely tripped over the edge of the ship. One could call it a last-gasp save, as Graze and Gordon would make it to the sandy seaside and vanish into the woods.

Then it came to be, " Captain Einsauer I request you surrender or we will attack, I repeat, Captain Einsauer I request you to surrender or we will attack " ... revealing at the front of the ship with a den den that could amplify the sound was none other than Commodore Kibin with a stern but a serious expression. Gordon hearing this would no wonder too far away but hidden behind the trees looking at the war that was about to take place at ocean.

Meanwhile back at the port, whilst Graze and Gordon flee'd with the many headtakers that were with them would be fleeing until a huge thud could be heard, though, to Einsauer's surprise, an underling would push Graze overboard as he barely tripped over the edge of the ship. One could call it a last-gasp save, as Graze and Gordon would make it to the sandy seaside and vanish into the woods.

The chain meant to trip the second-hand of the Headtakers Pirates was instead absorbed by one of the Headtaker underlings. Sweet watched as the pirates scrambled over the side of the ship and quickly over to the nearby sandy coast. She watched as her own small army pursued the fleeing enemies, about to take up the rear in the pursuit; she was interrupted:

" Captain Einsauer I request you surrender or we will attack, I repeat, Captain Einsauer I request you to surrender or we will attack " ... revealing at the front of the ship with a den den that could amplify the sound was none other than Commodore Kibin with a stern but a serious expression.

Her eyebrows furrowed in a mix of confusion and anger. "Surrender?" She rhetorically pondered to herself then picking up the Den Den Mushi she had previously placed on the ship deck. "What do you mean surrender?"

"You wanted me to get rid of Gordon and his goons, so I was. Our deal was proceeding exactly as planned. What exactly is the problem here, Commodore?"

Sweet's eyes narrowed as the last of the fleeing Headtakers disappeared into the trees. She was beginning to consider raising anchor and letting this mess of an island sort itself out.

@L'Empereur

 

[Emperor Cross]

# Geck'O hit the sandy floor with force, he kept going after the pirates until he came to realize, the usual tremor Mikami's steps would create was not happening. The lizard stopped in his steps and looked back in the direction of his crew. His hand began to move and the old man spoke :

- " Kid, if Sir Mikami is not following, we need to be cautious. You were too rash in your decisions the last time. Your instinct might have told you already. We are not ready to fight them alone... If Mikami is not coming, when should go back. "

A grunt was the only answer but the Lizard turned his tail and began walking back to the ship. Two quick pushes and he was able to hoist himself back to the main bridge. The air was thick with tension and the captain was ready to ponce. Using his height, he was able to see who she was addressing.

Her eyebrows furrowed in a mix of confusion and anger. "Surrender?" She rhetorically pondered to herself then picking up the Den Den Mushi she had previously placed on the ship deck. "What do you mean surrender?"

"You wanted me to get rid of Gordon and his goons, so I was. Our deal was proceeding exactly as planned. What exactly is the problem here, Commodore?"

The boss was speaking to soldiers from the world government. They were asking her to surrender. They were more chances that Sweet slaughtered her whole crew than she surrendered. Anger was radiating from her body and the big cow as a right hand, was not moving. The lizard shook his head. They came nicely, the captain even ordered her pirates not to kill anyone. She had wanted them to be different than Graze's and co but ironically the population did not see any differences between them. Either way, the mission was going to end in a failure. #

- "Cap'n... Shhhould we leave ?" said the lizard

@Einsauer @L'Empereur​

Graze kneeling behind a tree would take a glimpse as he spotted the marine fleet, still feeling the surmountable pressure that came from his life just hanging in the balance. if it weren't for an underling he would've been captured and dead. " Oi Graze, get your head on boy. We need to withdraw now and not be caught in the ceasefire. " roared Gordon. Graze shook himself and then too vanished into the woods not without taking a look back swearing his vengeance on the Einseaur Pirates. Though what they were about to do would shake the entire kingdom to its roots.

Going back to the crossing of paths, Kibin who would catch on to Gordon's plan would speak into the Den Den ... " Plan has changed, but what your missing is the point they purposely lead you here as their aim is the Royal Kingdom. They will prepare a full armada against you so regroup now "

What the captain of the Sweet Pirates failed to recognise was just how twisted and deep the plan from Gordon was, it involved everything down to the roots if the plan succeeded or failed.

As they trenched through the forest, Gordon would catapult a rope straight up then climb over the walls of the royal palace then smirk. " Wait till we hatch our plan but this time i will avenge my loss stupid pirates "

 

[Einsauer]

Going back to the crossing of paths, Kibin who would catch on to Gordon's plan would speak into the Den Den ... " Plan has changed, but what your missing is the point they purposely lead you here as their aim is the Royal Kingdom. They will prepare a full armada against you so regroup now "

Captain Einsauer scowled. It was no wonder to her why the marines couldn't seem to solve the pirate problem on this island...So close to completion they ordered a retreat on their own mercenaries.

She squeezed the receiver of the transponder snail as she tamped her anger down. "Right. It's done." She said into the receiver before looking to her confused crew and then speaking directly to them.

- "Cap'n... Shhhould we leave ?" said the lizard

"Regroup!" Her tone commanding, despite her hesitance. A few swabbies fell out from hiding within the ship and regrouped with their comrades. The swabbies gathered on the docks below the ship while the gargantuan, the lizard and the fishwoman waited on the boat. She looked to Geck'O, now beginning to smile. "No surrender."

With a phony smile she relinquished herself to the Kibin's orders. "It's your show, Commodore. What would you have us do?" She asked the marine whilst she paced the deck of the unnamed ship in the harbor, emotionlessly wearing a smile, glancing over the few of her swabbies that had died due to the collapse of the mast (as well as a handful of Gordon's dead underlings).

# Geck'O was confused, the situation went from 0 to 100. One minute they were supposed to retreat and leave the island and the next they weren't anymore. The lizard looked around, he waited for an answer from Mikami. The giant didn't speak, so the lizard let out a sigh. He wore the puppet on his hand and the old man took life once again :

- "Listen up, children ! " said the old man, moving his hands in the air. "I've been sailing the seas for more years than y'all been alive, and I've seen and experienced things that you couldn't even imagine."

The young pirates looked at each other and assembled. They knew it was Geck’O speaking but they were too afraid of the lizard to speak. The lizard had no talent for voice acting. They looked at Sweet but since the woman did not speak they kept listening to the lizard.

- "I know that the life of a pirate can be dangerous and unpredictable, but it's also incredibly rewarding. You are lucky to be under the Cap’N, she feeds ya and shelters ya ! You have the chance to be on the seas and to search for treasures and it’s time to repay her ! The pirates disrespected us ! Disrespected HER ! It’s time to FIHT FOR YOUR RIGHTS !" #

@L'Empereur @Einsauer​

Commodore Kibin, gave the next command in using the Einsauer as a whip in the bidding of the World Government, by having a problem to get rid of a problem. He waited to see what they would do next, with an entire armada ready just in case if they would revolt in this scourge operation, coded with the assigned title, Hammer of Apollo.

Meanwhile, at the castle, Kibin and Einsauer would be a step behind had successfully infiltrated the kingdom sneaking past the guards and made their way to the royal courtrooms and finding the Queen before grabbing a knife to her neck. Gordon would follow entering the room, " Now now boys be gentle for a dear guest. " with a startled and shriveled in fear Queen with tears raining down her cheeks.

Gordon would walk towards her wiping a tear from her cheek, feeling the warmth as she would shout " I issue a command of Parlay "

Replying with a burst-out chuckle that came deep down from his lungs then backhand the queen just as her beloved would enter the room, frightened as hope drained away from him begging the man for what they wanted.

" My demand is very simple, I want you to .. " not revealing the final parts of his words

(2nd half of the revelation in the next post)

 

[Einsauer]

- "I know that the life of a pirate can be dangerous and unpredictable, but it's also incredibly rewarding. You are lucky to be under the Cap’N, she feeds ya and shelters ya ! You have the chance to be on the seas and to search for treasures and it’s time to repay her ! The pirates disrespected us ! Disrespected HER ! It’s time to FIHT FOR YOUR RIGHTS !"

The captain quietly listened as Geck'O (through the words of his puppet) rallied and encouraged the swabbies. The remaining pirate grunts looked amongst themselves.
The truth was, Sweet Einsauer saw them not as people but as pieces on an ever-frustrating gameboard. Not to be wasted, but to certainly be utilized. As puzzling as this island was becoming to her, she already had a foot in the door with a World Government goon; this opportunity was another aspect to be utilized. She nodded at the lizard-man then course correct and begrudgingly nodded to the puppet, humoring her lizard underling. Then she glanced down around at her crew. "The old man is right. The captain's will is the crew's will; burn it into all your skulls."

She gave a small hand gesture for the pseudo-giant and reptilian to disembark the damaged ship before her. The captain gave a subtly hateful look towards the Den Den Mushi representing Commodore Kibin, but the voice to follow into the snail phone sounded pleasant enough:
"Aye aye... Sir." She hesitantly said, further signaling her cooperation and putting her own status beneath his, something she was not too familiar with at this point in her fresh pirating career. She firmly hung up the Den Den Mushi after ensuring the commodore had nothing more to say.
"Idiot. Total fucking idiot!" She shouted under her breath, stomping down on the deck hard enough to splinter the wood and leave a perfect imprint of her heel.

She, with a newly revived sense of aggression that she chose to target after the Headtakers, pointed at Lézard "Track those scum. Kill them all. The rules haven't changed, we're only here for the other pirates." She then pointed at ginger-headed man. "We're not playing Mikami, I better not see you pulling your damn punches out there!"

"Now stop wasting time, GET GOING."
She said, working her way down off the ship behind her crew.

Mikami went to nervously whisper to a swabby who quickly cut him off (knowing Mikami's whispers would be plainly heard by the entire island-kingdom). "Hey, not now Boss- er- I mean, Mikami." Said the one of former henchman of the ginger ex-bandit.

"Track those scum. Kill them all. The rules haven't changed, we're only here for the other pirates." She then pointed at ginger-headed man. "We're not playing Mikami, I better not see you pulling your damn punches out there!"

"Now stop wasting time, GET GOING."

The lizard scratched his head vehemently. He had lost some time, he first decided to run after the pirates and to attack them. Then, he decidedto turn round and regroup with Sweet. They were back to square 1 and they had lost their momentum. Gordon and his pirates had now a too great head start. The distance between the two group was growing the more Sweet's intended to listen to the World Government. The insects had betrayed her once already so l'Enfant could not understand why she was trying to trust them once again. if he was only half as strong as her, he would have kill them all already. The mouth that bites the hand that feed it, should not be given a second chance. Without the Sweet Pirates how where they going to resist to Gordon and his men ?

- "..." The pirate only grunted and went on to climb on Mikami's back. He nested himself in the gian'ts hair and gripped it. He was going to show the dumb cow where h stopped in his track the first time. It would be easier than trying to direct him from the ground.

Lulusia Kingdom - Post 7
@Einsauer @L'Empereur​

Continuing from where I left off

" My demand is straightforward, I want you to use your powers and might as royalty to call forth a marine battalion to prepare a buster call " ... Those words would shock and terrify the royalty who felt the pressure, from the King's vision becoming impaired collapsing to his knees and slamming his hands against the floor.

Gordon would then run his hands through the queen's hair, grabbing her from the back of her head ... " Excuse me, we don't have the time to dilly-dally so hurry your fucking ass or I'll have a use for your dear beloved and I'm sure seeing her as the royalty who became an escort would be nice to hear " ... grinning sinisterly after speaking, further shocking the King. His blood flow became steady and rapid, which would have his heartbeat resound through his ears with his body's temperature increasing with every blink and breath.

The King out of fear, and frustration yet hesitation was in his voice requesting for the marine ships to attack and flank the Sweet Pirates. The order would be heard on a den den that vibrated as it sounded puuurru puuurru puuurru.

Kibin hearing this would request one of his soldiers " Go answer the den den mushi, see if it is urgent " the marine soldier headed down to answer with a bewildered expression taking over the den den, and tears would roll. The order to attack the Sweet Pirates was commanded.

Just giving the command to Captain Einseaur to attack and get Gordon, who manipulated their own disadvantage against them would showcase the level of seriousness in his actions. Though Kibin felt used and betrayed when he would hear the news of attacking Einseaur, kissing his teeth with his arms crossed and little gale having his marine jacket sway in the wind.

" Those pesky pirates had us, hooked, line, and sinker" ... ' As a Commodore and marine, I joined to get rid of such things in the world but to be played like this is inconceivable. But right now the cost of the Royalty should be classed as high but I wanna call them on their bluffs but play a bit as this might be fun to have that Gordon think he can use me '

" I want you to attack the Einseaur's but i want us at a distance, try not to hit any of them though "

 

[Einsauer]

Unbeknownst to the pirate captain, due to powers far beyond her immediate fathoming, the political tides of Lulusia were unsteady. Her cunning plans were muddying more and more as she found herself being caught in the web of the unsteady powers in control of this silly island.
Leading from the back her small crew she watched the lizard pilot the around Mikami from the front her pack.

The group of pirates pushed up through the town once more, venturing along the Lulusian paths towards the castle looming over the little port town. Sweet watched the lumbering, red-haired oaf stomp forward at a steady pace; Mikami would follow Geck'O commands and in turn the crew would follow Mikami steps.

- "..." The pirate only grunted and went on to climb on Mikami's back. He nested himself in the gian'ts hair and gripped it. He was going to show the dumb cow where h stopped in his track the first time. It would be easier than trying to direct him from the ground.

​

Stepping through the streets, now devoid of the undercover marines, it seemed desolate (almost spooky). It was like a ghost town, but Sweet knew there were civilians hiding in their homes, awaiting the pirate conflict to end. She peered around for any sign of people as they trudged along the trail of the enemy pirate crew.
Silently, Sweet pondered the upcoming fight. She would have had much better odds near the sea to take out the Headtakers, whatever scheme Kibin was running was going to complicate her own plot; she just needed to puzzle out a way to make the two goals align with no kinks: first step was the inevitable extermination of the Headtakers.

It wouldn't take them long to reach the same distance that the Headtakers made up prior (should they be unhaltered in their travel), reaching the castle in a similar amount of time. As the group meandered up to the gate, the captain would let loose a loud whistle first, then she would shout.

"KNOCK KNOCK!" She would holler up at the castle, should she see no guards present.
Or rather she would approach a guard and then request an audience with the royalty in a calm manner despite her frazzled appearance and her fairly rugged and ragtag squad of pirates with her.

# Geck’O was able to guide Mikami’s movements by using his hair as a sort of puppet string. Whenever the lizard tugs on Linguini's hair in a certain way, Mikami’s body would responds with latency but still accordingly. It was for the little pirate to control the cow that was the giant. He had trouble concentrating on the road ahead. The red hair was stopping in his track every time his nose would track some food. With Geck’O ’s guidance, the crew was able to keep the giant focused enough. The crew did not need a giant causing damage in the city. Their reputation was still bad, they did not need to worsen it. The captain had some plans for the town. Even though doubt was clouding his mind, the red scaled lizard kept controlling the giant. He wa proud when they arrived at the castle without destroying anything. They arrived at the castle at the cap’n took control. Now al they had to do was to wait. L’Enfant, decided to leave the head for the shoulders of the giant. Whispering in the pirate’s ear promises, telling him they were nothing the castle cook’s were not able to make. If the giant saved them, he would eat all the delicious meals he dreamed of. #

Lulusia Kingdom - Post 8
@Einsauer @L'Empereur​

The once proud nation of Lulusia Kingdom was overtaken by royalty kept as hostages and used as proxies in a bid to wipe out the threats without realising they could also be swept away. The kingdom was left in limbo, Gordon "The Headtaker" was now in command as the royalty wept at their fate was almost at a huge car crash.

Kibin still at sea, would hold out, despite receiving the news of attacking Einsaneur Pirates, but he bided his time until it was the correct time to make a move.

With the Einsaneur Pirates making their way towards the capital would note that all the soldiers were nowhere present but instead kept inside the castle. Mumoring would spread across the reception of the castle until Graze would come out to angry remarks as he raised his hands up to hush the soldiers.

Graze: " Might as well spill, you have some angst against us. But as of today, we of those of the Farm have now taken command in this coup and now run Lulusia. King Seki, I meant the Former King has given us the title to run the country. "​

This would hush the soldiers, some would watch in horror as others' hands would let go of the swords that were held in their hands, gulping as to what would happen next.

Graze: " I understand some of you may not like us, but we are willing to wipe the plate clean and start from scratch. Grudges to subside, and new relationships to commence as we bring sustainability and bring riches back to this nation. "​

The words would be met with a huge silence until a knock would be heard on the door.

With a soldier peeking outside would state who's there as hearing this Graze felt the pressure as last time he nearly met his end earlier against the pirate group, but more in specific a singular individual.

Graze: " As minister, i hereby request all soldiers to stand side by side to thwart the threat to this nation "​

Then turning to a soldier grabbing him by the scruff of his neck in an angry burst of reaction:

Graze: " Where the fuck are those Marines? ... Put a bullet in the Princess' limbs and make the King squeal and force them here "​

Tension was nigh, from their very earlier conflict Graze knew full well the implications that Einsenaur brought forward. Gordon oblivious to the entire ordeal, would be instead expect Graze to take lead and command.

Gordon would then walk towards the stairs and look downwards seeing the soldiers armored to the tee aiming them at the door.

Gordon: " Let our guests in "​

 

[Einsauer]

Gordon would then walk towards the stairs and look downwards seeing the soldiers armored to the tee aiming them at the door.

Gordon: " Let our guests in "

Sweet, stationed ahead of hew crew and poised arrogantly at the entrance to the castle, watched as her request was made reality and the gateway slowly opened. The enemy crew had been tracked and corner into the castle, it seemed. Sweet was already anticipating some sort of hostage negotiation for the royalty, however the sight from within the walls shocked her as it reached her eyes.

The Lulusian Royal Army standing, not against, but with the captors. Quickly, the fishwoman pieced together the circumstances she found herself facing; the marines, the soldiers, and of course the pirates...They were to all serve as her obstacles not her pawns. She stood silently for a bit longer than comfortable, the pirate woman was thinking incredibly carefully. She muttered to herself quietly as she spoke, eyes firmly locked on the interior of the royal castle.
"Alright..." She said with a single clap (rubbing her hands together after they met), as if to say that she had figured out what her words would be.

"Listen very carefully, all of you." She said, taking a few commanding steps forward wearing a crooked grin that exuded diabolical confidence. "These are going to be the most important words you ever hear..."

"This isn't going to be a fight or a battle, this is going to be an unfair, one-sided slaughter. I am here to remove the slime from the competition for pirate king, nothing more. I don't want your useless land, or your pitiful pocket-change, and I certainly don't want your expendable lives; save one."

She raised her voice, being sure Gordon heard her. "I am going to pry your pathetic captain out of that castle kicking and screaming!" She paused, looking earnestly at the faces in front of her. "You're all free to go, but, and here's the important part, you have one chance to drop your weapons and go. Otherwise none of you see your families again."

"And for the intelligent amongst you Headtakers, I offer you a spot on a REAL pirate crew." She said, still not raising her weapons, starting to get lost in her own self-confidence at this point. "As for now, I am Captain Sweet Einsauer and you are all under my control...If I am wrong, fire the first shot and prepare what you will say to your gods."
Mikami squirmed at that final horrific threat. He and his bandit crew had been persuaded to join the Sweet Pirates with only the promise of beri and gold, he hoped now (for the enemies' sake) that they accepted the offer and fell in line with his captain.

And with that, Sweet delicately put a hand behind her back. Revealing a flat palm, telling her crew to hold and await aggressive action.

I don't want your useless land, or your pitiful pocket-change, and I certainly don't want your expendable lives; save one."

- "Child ! Open your eyes and your ears ! Because what you are going to see here is a cold ass pirate ! "he said, pointing his baton to Sweet "Cause if they hadn’t realise it now, this is the moment when the fodders of the story realize how entangled in shit they are ! " He hit the lizard on his arm and hit the head of Mikami "Try to observe how she is talking, how she is commanding respect ! Look at the evil laugh ! She is Ice COLD ! I regret never meeting her in my youthful days…" finished the old man trying to wipe the imaginary tears from his eyes.
The lizard was not speaking, he was lying in the hair of Mikami mesmerized by the captain. He was buzzing with excitement. He was looking at each variation of her face. He was so captivated he wasn't hearing anything. His hand and lips were moving but his brain had separated L'Enfant from the world. Just by looking at Sweet moving and her facial expressions, he was underrating what she was saying. He could feel the fear coming from the soldiers around. And he knew she wasn't't making threats in the wind. They better listen or she would paint the wall in the most beautiful red there ever was : Blood.

She raised her voice, being sure Gordon heard her. "I am going to pry your pathetic captain out of that castle kicking and screaming!" She paused, looking earnestly at the faces in front of her. "You're all free to go, but, and here's the important part, you have one chance to drop your weapons and go. Otherwise none of you see your families again."

"And for the intelligent amongst you Headtakers, I offer you a spot on a REAL pirate crew." She said, still not raising her weapons, starting to get lost in her own self-confidence at this point. "As for now, I am Captain Sweet Einsauer and you are all under my control...If I am wrong, fire the first shot and prepare what you will say to your gods."

The lizard's head recoiled back. He disagreed with what he perceived. The captain wanted to recruit pirates that would sell their own captain. They did not need traitors in their ranks. The swabbies were certainly mindless puppets but they had more loyalty in their little finger than those pieces of meat. L'Enfant knew his voice would not hold any weight. He could feel the giant under him slowly shaking. Rumors were saying that Sweet had been ruthless before she met with the lizard and his old man. Maybe she had done the same with Miami's previous crew. Either way, the red lizard knew that if those traitors set foot on Sweet's ship. L'Enfant would have nightly snacks for a whole month.

Lulusia Kingdom - Post 9
@L'Empereur @Einsauer​

Nerves of anticipation were running through all from the soldiers of Lulusia and those of the Headtakers followed with Gordon's words to let the outsiders in. A few soldiers would walk forward removing the barricade locks to the door opening as it creaked open, for some it was the first witnessing the very captain whose appearance had intimidated them enough. She'd stood before her soldiers like a true commander, taking a look at what was before her which was enough to have her question as to what just happened but didn't take long for her to recognise. Taking a few steps forward she'd then begin commenting about what was about to happen or could happen, startling many of the soldiers and bringing a decree of war like never before that the lands of Lulusia hadn't witnessed in many years.

"Listen very carefully, all of you." She said, taking a few commanding steps forward wearing a crooked grin that exuded diabolical confidence. "These are going to be the most important words you ever hear..."

"This isn't going to be a fight or a battle, this is going to be an unfair, one-sided slaughter. I am here to remove the slime from the competition for pirate king, nothing more. I don't want your useless land, or your pitiful pocket-change, and I certainly don't want your expendable lives; save one."

She raised her voice, being sure Gordon heard her. "I am going to pry your pathetic captain out of that castle kicking and screaming!" She paused, looking earnestly at the faces in front of her. "You're all free to go, but, and here's the important part, you have one chance to drop your weapons and go. Otherwise none of you see your families again."

"And for the intelligent amongst you Headtakers, I offer you a spot on a REAL pirate crew." She said, still not raising her weapons, starting to get lost in her own self-confidence at this point. "As for now, I am Captain Sweet Einsauer and you are all under my control...If I am wrong, fire the first shot and prepare what you will say to your gods."

Many of the soldiers were a little confused and felt threatened, for most if not all didn't know what war was in any shape or form. Gordon seeing the reactions and body movements of the soldiers noticed the morale of the soldiers was deteriorating and then took a deep breath which was followed with a grin.

Gordon: " You dare threaten us you scum? ... You dare threaten royalty in their very home? ... For all of this is being broadcasted to the world. But first, i have a declaration i want to make known to the world, so please come forward King of Lulusia, King Seki. "​

The King would walk forward with Den Den mushi's that would live broadcast as he spoke the following words, " As of today, as King will issue and grant the Headtakers nobility thus making their pirate lives mute. My second decree would be also as of today would wanna promote Gordon as president of Lulusia as i step down and abdicate my title of King and therefore Gordon becomes King, President and Commander-in-Chief of Lulusia. Should any interlopers threaten the World Government, it will be considered high treason. "

King Gordon: " Now if you wish a life of pardon, i would wanna bring the offer to you to quit a life of piracy and join us Captain Einsauer? "​
