Davy and Scales ate and chatted until the Fishwoman, Gin of the Kraken pirates returned.
Gin: You're still here?
Davy: Yeah. Why?
Gin: Well your girl just left with another guy.
Davy: My girl....?
Davy: Oh. Do you mean Ruby?
Gin: Mermaid. Red hair.
Davy: And she left with another guy?
Gin: Yeah.
Davy: Huh... Weird...
Getting up, Davy leaves the restaurant to see if he can spot Ruby.
Victor and Shin were walking around, looking for the next shop to peruse, but then they noticed Ruby walking away with a stranger.
Shin: Hey! Ruby!
Ruby:!!
Shin: Where are you going? And where's the Captain?
She looks away as she gets dragged along.
Shin: Hey! Don't you dare pull off one of those "I can't hear you from down there"!!!
He gives chase, with Victor following. They follow Ruby and the man into the elevator, where they find more unsavory figures already inside.
Shin: Look at me when I'm talking to you-
???: The no-fight rule ends inside the elevator.
The stranger and his crew pull out guns, as does Victor.
???: New friends of yours...?
The slick silver-haired man covered in spikey jewelry asked Ruby, as he kept a hand on her.
(Bounty Captain; Bojack Bounty)
Ruby:.....
Bojack: Heh.
Bojack: Let's not bloody the elevator. I actually like this place.
As the doors began to shut, Davy J. leaped into the elevator getting every weapon pointed at him.
Bojack: What do we have here?
Davy: Hold on... I just ate a lot and ran...(deep breath)....(sigh)
Standing up, he looked around the elevator as it began to rise toward the surface. What caught Davy's attention the most, was Ruby's uncomfortable demeanor and Bojack holding her by the wrist.
Davy: Hey, Mop locks. What's your name?
Bojack: You don't know? Heh... I know you.
Davy: So does half the freaking world, by this point...
Bojack: I'm Bounty. Bojack Bounty.
Davy: Well... Bounty. Bojackass Bounty. Get your hand off my crewmate?
Taking a step towards them, two of Bojack's crewmembers stood in his way.
One was a blond, braided ponytail woman with an eye patch and a wrist-mounted crossbow.
(Bounty's Sniper: Sora "Deadeye" Flower)
The other was a pink-shirt person with a big black hat, a cane, and a metal sphere.
(Bounty's Muscle: Omar)
Bojack: Your crewmate? I think you mean, MY crewmate.
Davy: I know what I said.
Bojack: Ruby here belongs in my crew. We've known each other for 5 years.
Davy: Once these doors open, she better walk out with me. Or you'll be in a world of hurt.
Bojack: Huh... Do you know her worth as well?
Davy:(crosses arms)
(Ding)
Bojack: Heh...
He raises a hand towards Davy as the elevator doors open.
Bojack: "Command air; Push"
Davy is hit with a sudden force that launches him through the half-open elevator doors, along with Shin and Victor.
Davy/Victor/Shin: GHAAAAA!?!
Davy: Tch!
Davy: Fine! Let's fight it out-
His head gets kicked, causing it to spin wildly thanks to his abilities. Davy then feels his head get stomped on, stopping his spin.
As he pulled his head out, Davy saw the woman who attacked him.
A pale blond woman with many tattoos across her body. She swayed her hips a ridiculous amount as she approached Bojack.
(Bounty's Lover: Yumi)
Yumi: Ruby! Long time no see.
Ruby:....
The trio got up, ready for a fight.
(Vrrrrrr)
Davy: "Ro-Ro; DJ"!!!
Standing on one leg, Davy spins around very fast and then leaps, allowing the momentum from the spin to carry him as he throws a kick.
Yumi: Ghya!?
Sora fires an arrow at Davy, but it's shattered by one of Victor's bullets.
Davy: "Ro-Ro; Boxer"!!
Reeling his right arm back, and giving it a spin. Davy throws a punch. Bojack dragged Ruby in front of him, making Davy rotate his upper body 180° to stop himself from hitting Ruby.
Davy:(looks back) Bojackass!!
Bojack: "Control body; Arm break".
(CRUNCH)
Ruby:!?!!!
In front of Davy, Ruby's arm broke, bending into a zig-zag shape.
Bojack: "Control body; Fix"
Ruby's arm is fixed just as quickly as it was broken.
Bojack: I can kill her in an instant. Do I have your attention?
Davy:.... Yeah.
Bojack: Now. Ruby here is valuable. However, there are items worth more.
Bojack: If you were anyone else, I wouldn't bargain.
Bojack: But "Davy Jones's locker" seems VERY interesting...
Bojack: The locker for Ruby...
Davy:!?!
Davy:(mind) I don't have it! Because it's not a real thing! It's just a Devil Fruit some marine hid!
Davy:(mind) Maybe I can fake him out with something else?
Davy:(mind) But he has all the cards... If he doesn't like it, he could just decide to kill her.
Victor:...
Victor: Do you honestly think we just have it with us?
Victor: The damn thing is hidden. It would take at least a year to go get it.
Bojack:(scratches head) Who's got time for that?
Bojack: In that case...
Bojack: To the West, there's a Marine base. They have a box locked up.
Bojack: In that box, there's a whole bunch of Marine routes. Steal that and a bunch of money.
Bojack: Then you can have her.
Davy: Tch.
Davy: Fine. But you'll give her back, unharmed, you hear me?
Bojack: Yeah, yeah...
Bojack: We'll meet you in next week. Honeydew island. Don't be late.
Bojack: Oh yeah. And for hitting my girl... "Control Air; Crash".
Davy:!!
(BAM)
Sent flying, Davy falls into the sea.
Victor:!
Leaping after his captain, Victor leaves Shin to watch as the Bounty Pirates laugh as they take Ruby away.
Shin: Ruby...
Ruby:....
Shin:....
Shin: AZRIEL!! TIGA!! WE NEED HELP! THEY'RE TAKING RUBY!!
Shin:...
Shin: D-Damn it...
(Splash)
Victor drags Davy out of the water.
Victor/Davy:(panting)
The two see Shin staring into the distance as he watches the Bounty Pirates sail away.
Davy: We... We gotta get to the ship...
Weakened by the water, Davy is carried by Victor back to the Wicked Wench. Where they were met with confused looks. Victor and Shin went on to explain the situation to the rest of the crew as Davy dries off.
Azriel: Bojack was here? Crap!
Azriel: Why didn't take her back?
Davy: He has some kind of Devil Fruit that let him break and fix her arm in an instant.
Davy: I wasn't going to risk her life...
Jade: What kind of Devil fruit?
Davy: He said "Control" before something happened. So... The "Control-Control" fruit if I had to guess.
Ched: You'd be right. I had heard the little punk had gotten himself a strong fruit.
Ched: The Control-Control fruit allows him to make anything he touches do as he commands.
Ched: Only if his will is greater than yours.
Victor:(tilts head) Who are you?
Ched: Heh. Just an old friend of Jade here.
Jade: If you find a rat, kill it.
Ched:(chuckles)
Davy: Do you know anything else about Bojack?
Ched: He and his crew are only interested in Bounties. Both hunting them and raising theirs.
Ched: They made a name for themselves in the North Blue, roughly six years back.
Ched: Troublemaker, scum, a wannabe "Oncoming Storm".
Ched: That's about it.
Shin: We're going after him, right?
Davy: We're going to get what he wants, and get Ruby back.
Shin: What?!
Shin: You're just going let Ruby be in his grubby hands for a week?!
Azriel: The smart move is to get what he wants and once we've gotten Ruby back, we put him down.
Azriel: If we give chase, he could just kill her.
Shin:....
Davy: I hate it. But we're going to have to play along for now.
Davy: Set course for the Marine Base to the West!
Ched: Hmph. Well, I'll leave you all to it. Good luck.
Ched:(pets ship) See you around, Wicky.
He leaps back over to the Kraken Pirate Ship. The Wicked Wench gives off a disappointing sigh, before setting sail, with Jade comforting her.
Shin:.... Ruby...
Davy:...
Davy: Az!
Azriel: Hm?
Davy: Tell me everything you know about Ruby.
Azriel:....
Azriel:(sigh)... Alright.
Azriel: Just promise you won't fly off the handle after.
