The Trio was now up against two individuals.
One who wore a full cover mask the markings that resembled that of a dart board across its fabric. Their bare chest exposed with tattoos that were full black strips that wrapped around his forearms and biceps. Baggy torn jeans with frayed edges. The Outfit terminating into a pair of leather slip ons
The Other was the one who seemingly had the power of Ice.
They wore a dress shirt that was left unbuttoned, as was the multicolor vest which was gold, purple, and red in a swirling pattern like that of smoke. On their legs were stressed slacks, clear stretching and signs of wearing at the knees. They too also wore leather slip ons.
"What the hell are these guys' powers?" Jeanne said, digging through her bag. She hadn't finished her new weapon, yet. And hadn't expected to run into such trouble here. After a few moment, she found what she was looking for. Her custom made slingbow!
She hadn't yet come up with a name for it, but it was good in a pinch! With a draw strength of over 500lbs, it could easily snap the sound barrier like that of a whip!
She struggled to draw back the drawstring, but with a quick release she snapped a smoke bomb to give the group cover.
"Seems like all they do is keep on running." Spoke the masked one, Oko.
"Doesn't matter. I'll just give another spin. Draw them out." The Vest wearer, LaBau dismissed before bringing their hand up like reading a watch. A large wheel on their wrist, a pattern of black and red with two spots for green on it. 38 numbers in total
This was the power of the Roulette Fruit. With each spin the user would be granted a random Devil Fruit ability, rather it was already possessed by another individual or not.
The Rules of the Fruit were simple. Every Even number was a Paramecia, and Every Odd number was a Zoan. With every 7th roll having a 50/50 chance of being a Logia.
The Higher the Number. The 'Better' the fruit will be. Or more accurately, the more offensive the ability may be which would require less strategy to and skill to use. In Example, a 24 may be fruit that allows a user to create Explosions, while a 2 may be something along the lines of manipulating paper, but only when touched.
However-
It should be noted that this subjective view of 'Good' and 'Bad' rolls is very much reliant on the Resourcefulness of the user. After all, A Devil Fruit, with very specific scenarios of outliers, are only as potent and strong as the user.
The Rou-Rou fruit has one more Capability, and that's landing on Green. When the user spins, there is a 1 in 38 chance of landing on Green, when this happens, the User can choose a devil fruit to grant themselves, if they have seen it before, or have landed it before.
Each spin lasts only 7 minutes. And the User must wait 1 minute in between spins, this time overlaps with the 7 minute duration. Additionally, each spin drains the user the user physically, but with training, and adequate endurance this drawback is mitigated
"Hey before you spin, give me some of that Ice so I can make some more darts. They were pretty good. And with how strong you are, It lets my Darts be way stronger than normal." Oko crouched down
"That does give me an Idea." LeBau then flicked their hand up, generating a large wall of Ice. "Use this, it'll give us cover and give you ammunition."
"Now, lets spin."
Flicking the wheel with their index finger, the distinct clacking noise just like one would here in a Casino Parlor filled the air.
With Calm eyes, LeBau watched the wheel spin. Even with all the action that's happened so far. His face didn't falter.
"16." The number was visible on his wrist as he could feel another power take over. The Previous power had been the Hie Hie no Mi. Or the Ice Ice Fruit. So he could feel the slight chill of his body be replaced by a new strange feeling.
Boom! A sudden impact from the opposite side of the Ice wall reverberated! Jeanne having shot a powerful explosive shot at the barricade!
But LeBau didn't even flinch
With a flick of LeBaus wrist, a chainsaw extended from his hand. "Hmph. I've only seen something like this in a catalog from the North Blue. A Form of Automatic Saw. This should work wonders."
With a tense of his muscle, the chain saw revved! "Oko. Are you ready?"
"Yep! Let's do this!" Even below their mask, a visible smile could be seen, as around their body floated multiple ice darts. Very similar to arrows, but with thicker fronts around the thin needle like tips
This was the Power of the Dart-Dart fruit. Which gave Oko the Ability to shape anything he touched into Darts. Which would float around him, and could be launched out by hand or with flick of the wrist like throwing a dart.
With each creation, he created three darts. And could create up to Three sets before needing to 'Reload', for a total of 9 usable darts. These had been the 'Spikes' that Jeanne had dodged out of the way beforehand.
In a burst of Speed! Oko leapt from behind the Ice wall! Flicking both of his hands! Sending two darts towards the now dissipating smoke screen!
But Oko and LeBau hadn't been the only ones planning in the down Time! As soon as the Speed from the darts caused the rest of the smoke to clear, Kirk came into view! Twirling his Bo around his body, a cloud summoning at the edge!
'Weather Magic Requires Intent, and Concentration. Imagine the Effect you wish to happen and the staff will channel this.' Those were the words that the Mystics of Skyderia had told him. And in the Two weeks on the sea! He'd been practicing!
"Atmo! Cloud-Buster!" As he spoke, the cloud at the tip of his staff began to spiral and concentrate! And once he aimed, gripping with both hands! A focused blast of wind shot forward! A Column of weather power shot forward faster than a bullet!
"Oh Shit!" Oko screamed as the torrent was only a few meters from him!
