Thoughts raced through Crews strongest Fighters, Cannons blasting through the water, monumental waves crashing against the Palm, Water spreading across the deck of the Ship! "Noir! Get to the Gun Deck and ready the cannon! Jeanne help him out!"
"Roger!" The two crewmates Confirmed. For a rare moment the Captain gave orders as a Captain would. Jeanne Poofing into steam and appearing next to the Chef and rushing into the Gun Deck. "Here!" Jeanne Rushed to Noir, handing him a large Eight Pound ball. "You Load! I tell you when to Fire! I'll aim us true!"
Noir nodded as he pulled the Large heavy cannon back, the rope that connected the cannon to the wall tugging and grinding against the metal. He quickly loaded gun powder, and placed the shot in the end of the muzzle as Jeanne Dropped to her knees and looked out of the forward port. Muttering to herself as she did "Up a few degrees…Ships about half a kilometer away…And quickly approaching…It's fine Jeanne you're only Firing at a World Government Navy vessel! And they'll certainly execute us if we're captured!" She adjusted the turn dial, pushing the heft cannon up. Eyes squinting.
"Jeanne!" Noir Called out as more Explosions impacted the water around the ship. Causing the Cabin to bob violently. "Focus! You've got this!"
For just a moment. The Markswoman only saw the Chef, she then nodded and confidently declared!
"Fire!" Noir touched the port at the back of the mass of iron, causing a flash of smoke before a loud, and deafening BOOM! Rocked the bow, the water in front of the ship indenting from the shockwave!
The Lead shot Zipped through the air before making contact with the hull of the Warship!
"Sir! They've begun Firing on us!" Yelled a Cadet, Saluting to the Vice Admiral. "Yes I see that. No matter though. That ship can't be firing more than 12 pound shots. Besides, they only have 3 guns." Decaon said confidently, causing the cadet to question. "How can you be so sure?"
"Just do Cadet. Return to your Post."
"Sir!" Dropping their salute they rushed back down the stairs of the warship
"These Rookies will learn that this world is far bigger than they think…" Deacon Spoke to himself

"YES!" Jeanne Cheered. Pumping her fist in the air as Noir loaded another shot. "I think we may have a better chance at just Having Leroy throw these things!" Noir said, half joking as another vibration wrought through the ship from the cannon firing
"You may be right!" Jeanne then Pointed to a box of ammunition "Take that Chain Shot out to him You try your best too! I can handle this here!"
"Right!" Noir Effortlessly hoisted the Crate of Lead Chain Shot and Carried it out to the Deck where Leroy was fishing the Figure head out of the water. A look of fatigue on his face as his hands slinked through the water before lifting the wooden hand out and onto the Deck! "Special Delivery! Chain Shot just for you Captain!" Noir Said setting the Crate down, the metal inside rattling around
"Ah nice!" He said ripping open the Crate and pulling out the Lead Balls. "I've got the Perfect idea…" He said with a mischievous grin "I thought you would!" Noir grinned back, picking up his own Shot and heading to an Opposite side of the Deck.
Kále was in the Middle of Shooting Compressed Blades of Air at the Approaching formation of ships. The Flying Slashes making decent gashes into the exposed wood.
"Not half bad Urchin." Noir commented. Causing Kále to click his tongue
"Hmph!" Noir let out a noise of effort as he tossed the Chain shot in the air and then like an athlete whipped his leg through the air! His Shin catching the chain before sending it flying faster than the cannon below!
The Shot whizzed through the air before making contact with the hull of one of the ships! Indenting and Crashing into the wood! "Damn…Little Higher…"
At the same time, Leroy swung the chain through the air like a pair of nunchaku! "Gum Gum! Chain Shot!"
He Yelled before letting go after building up immense momentum! The Lead Balls flying through the air, spinning like a pair of blades before making contact with the Main mast of one of the ships! Slicing clean through it! Wood Splintering and shattering causing marines to run for cover as the Large Mast came crashing down. Good thing Leroy had some experience with Throwing!
"Ha! Got one!" The Joy was cut shot as the rest of the ships were just close enough to begin their own Volley of Shots back onto them! Pelting the surrounding waters with even more explosions! "Shit!" Leroy said as one of the Shots impacted the railing near him
"Dezzi! Get behind me!" He said as he suddenly began taking in a huge breath! His body seemed to begin expanding like that of a balloon! Growing larger and large "Gum Gum Shield!"
The Mink Doctors eyes Widened at the Sight of their Captain beginning to inflate! One of the Shots whizzing through the air and impacting right into the gut of Leroy! His rubbery disposition allowed it to sink in, stretching his skin, before being bounced back! Impacting into the water near the vessel it came from!
Leroy then Let out all of the Air in his body, blowing a powerful gust of wind into the sails! It caused the Palm to speed up and out of the way of incoming fire! "Hah…" Leroy gave a pant
"Shit…Even after all that…And they're not letting up!" Leroy cursed as he got back to his feet. Pain wracking through his body from his still persistent injuries from Hornigold
