"Ugh, Whatever…" Calliope rolled her eyes as she dismissed that thought.
"You're Calliope, Right?" Jeanne Asked leaning forward, cuffs between. Causing the other woman to look back. "Yeah? Why do you ask?" She still had that look in her eye. "I was just wondering. Winslow said to seek you out to help fix our ship."
"Heheh, He did, did he? Well I shouldn't be too surprised. He sent that last guy to me when the Port Dock got too busy." She said with a small grin and a roll of her eyes. "What was wrong with it?" She cocked a pink eye brow.
"Keel was broken." Jeanne stated bluntly "Ah, yep that would do it." She gave a nod. "Surprised you made it up the Water Locks. Did it break at one of the nearby islands? Like, Cinou?"
Cinou was a nearby island, not apart of the Magnet route but still a common pit stop between routes. Calliope gave a small snicker, only for Jeanne to answer honestly "No, from our best summation. It's actually been broken like- 3 times. Or just got worse. Once on reverse mountain coming from the east blue, then from a Jet Stream, and then on the way back down."
"What?!" Calliope leaned forward, causing the CPA 5 Agent at the door to lean forward slightly. Hand reaching into the suit jacket, his leather suspender holster sat, and the 1911 on the inside. Standard Issue.
"Oh relax!" Calliope snapped at the man rolling her eyes again. "You're captains even crazier than I've thought! I've never heard of anyone making it this far into the Grand Line with a broken keel. And then rebreaking it, and still making it to get it looked over! Ahah!"
She gave an actual joyous laugh at that. A slight light in her eye. "Yeah. He's pretty crazy. But I'd be willing to bet he's doing everything he can to come and get me and Raven back."
Mere minutes before.
Noir kicked off the building as the train began to leave the station and pick up speed across the tracks! He needed to make sure he didn't get on to soon. With all those looking around the train yard. Luckily most of the CPA 5 agents that were there for support got onto the train as well.
Snapping behind him he kicked off the Air and soared across to where the Train blazed across the tracks, easily catching up to where the back door sat on the final train car. He allowed himself to begin to fall, only to then catch the guard rail and hoist himself onto the platform. The sleeve that connected the cars and served as a hallway was scrunched around the side.
He leaned close, and looked into the window of the door. And saw that it was a room, many Suited agents lounging, but still had a serious look on their faces. 'Now. Just how do I get in? I should try and keep this quiet. I don't want them get alerted and not be close enough to Raven in time…' Noir thought to himself
With a spit, he spat his cigarette out. And sat on the railing. 'I could wait or bust the door down. I wonder if this train car is sound proof like the rest of Water 9's buildings?'
"Well, I guess I could do both." He spoke out loud and gave a kick to the door. "What was that?" Asked a tall small faced man "Don't know." Replied another. "I'll go check it out…Could be Pirates…" The Small faced man spoke, pulling his 1911 out of his suit and walking towards the door.
His eyes peered the outside…Nothing. The gave a quisitive noise under his breath. And opened the door, sliding it to the side. And walking out. Only for Noir to drop on him from above! The CPA agents in the room there were from 2-5 all looked in awe as they reached for their Service Pistols, and some with Service Rifles, that were blowback, and looked like repeaters but were semi automatic. Better than what most Marines had.
But before any of them could let off a shot, Noir was off! He disappeared at a staggering rate! They were only able to see the wind that was whipped around from the movement! But their attention was turned as the sound of pain was released! Only to see that five of the twenty men had been taken out! But Noir was nowhere to be seen!
Another five! And another! Only for one last man to be standing, looking around with utter terror in his eyes as he held up his service rifle, panning around! But he wasn't anywhere to be seen! Making one last 180, he saw him! Right in front of him! His finger twitched and the round was about to go off, but Noir shoe crushed through the barrel, and then through the furnished wood, embedding the round into his shoulder and sending him flying out the back, only to then bounce against the tracks!
"Huh. Seems like they are Sound proof. What was it…7 more cars to go?" The last time he saw raven, her and Jeanne and the pink woman were being hustled onto the 7th car in the line
"Leroy! Don't run off ahead! We have to follow Winslow!" Kirk said as Leroy kept out pacing the now bandaged man that led the charge, Malle next to him. The rest of Calliopes gang had been left behind and were being tended to by the best doctors around. There were flares that every Port Dock had in case of an emergency, bright blue in color, that notified any Doctors to rush to that area.
"Damnit!" Leroy grit his teeth as he slowed. He was fast enough that he could've made it to the Cars by now! But then he didn't know how to operate any of them! And what if more CPA was there?!
"It'll be alright captain!" Dezzi reassured. Noir had to have been on the train for at least 5 minutes by now. Leroy was starting to hate himself for what had happened…
"Were almost there!" Winslow called out from behind. "Yeah! Don't worry. And if Calliope is with 'em. I'm sure she's given them hell by now…" Malle now wore a bandolier around his chest. Adorned with huge large nails for ship building and a spring powered one shot nail gun. That was actually designed by Calliope. Two large hammers were also on his hips.
Malle was a part of Calliopes gang…In fact. He was the previous leader. He'd been the head of that punk gang for years. After the last one had decided it was time to sail away. He'd helped Calliope with Winslow learn about ships after her fathers passing. And then when He turned 23. He decided to pass on the title to Calliope as head. She'd always been good with the others. Even if a bit rough. But in a rough way that a sibling would be.
"There!" Winslow called "All the trains are out right now, off to Cinnou, Klet and Clove!" He lead them to a warehouse from inside the Train Station. "Off Course…Wahaha!" Winslow laughed as he saw that the Warehouse was empty. "Of course! Why would they take it! They already got a train going to and from the citadel! It'd be too much hassle to get it on the tracks!"
Dezzi and Kirk panted as Leroy and Kale watched. "What is it?" Leroy asked, as Winslow approached a large black cloth before yanking it off! "I Introduce to you! The Super Train! Courtesy of One, Waters Calliope!"
The Train was only the engine itself. But looking far more angular, but just as slick as the others. But instead of sleek sliver, it was painted in a brass coat with black across it. But, the most stand out of all. Were the large funnels on the top and at the back that were like cones, tubes and pipes going to it…
