Serious: The Anubis Pirates attempt to take over Little Garden (Open to Maxulus , Best , Johan and Marines)

Coal knew all within his smoke zone, because it was his smoke so he could feel anyone with it. Coal moved calmly and then threw a knife at Ranyx and hled his hand up pointing to the front of Johan, where Johan was running "Smoke dome......" A smoke dome came up to try and cover Johan completely, like a prison.

Did that smoke just move?
Johan threw himself to the side, out of nothing but pure instinct, and barely avoided the smoke dome.
He was up on his feet two seconds later. He knew now that the marine could tell where he was, but he himself couldn't tell where the marine was. that was low. But it counted. Johan had done lower things in his life. As long as it won the fight, everything was permitted.
He looked around, then sighed and took his glasses off. They'd only be in the way, and he couldn't see anything anyway.
Instead of thinking, he'd have to focus on instincts.

Ranyx dodged the knife, his face changing from nonchalance to mild annoyance. "Coal, don't you know not to mess with your elders?" He began a handstand, spinning in his handstand with a speed that began twisting the air around him. The smoke was getting blown away, clearing the area so people could see better. Once Coal came into view, Ranyx kicked two Rankyaku at him.

Coal saw the smoke clear and immediately saw Ranyx running at him. He pulled his hands to the side, "Smoke wall!!!" A wall made out of thick hard smoke blocked Ranyxs rankyaku which couldnt cut through them. Coal then asked "Who the f**k are you anyway? you seem familiar some how......"

Best saw the chance now that the smoke was lifted he ran towards some trees for cover.

"Try the bounties! Longest standing! Record that will most likely never be broken!" Ranyx kicked off the ground, Geppou'ing off at various angles, ending up behind Coal, aiming a kick at his legs.

Coal backflipped backwards. His body landing well to the ground avoiding Ranyxs kick, but he was thinking, so thats where he saw that face on a poster.... if so he would need to do some drastic things "I changed my mind....... i was intending to only massacre all you pirates...... but now , i will arrest you all and bring you back to HQ...... your worth more to them alive than dead..... abandon your hope....... SMOKE FOTRESS!!!!! X 2 Thick"

Smoke engulfed the area and took slid form into a cage sort of thing covering the whole area. Best barely got out. and was sighing, but he forgot about Johan and Alfresco. It was a giant smoke fortress keeping everyone inside it except Best. Coal sat at the very top of the fortress. "Try and reach me if you can..... this is an optimum hard and thick smoke that is used as a solid metal like substance.... and these ((waves his hand and samurai holding smoke katanas appeared from the ground)) are my minions insed this place... they have been ordered to wear you down......"

Ranyx sighed. "Old news, Coal. I know this thing." He began making his way out of the fortress, ignoring the samurai. They'd just come back again and again.

The smoke samurai began attacking Ranyx from all four sides. two of them aiming for ranyxs head and two aiming to stab him. There were other smoke samurai heading towards Johan as well.

Johan sighed. Sometimes, he asked himself who was the bigger monster: Him for having killed the one he had loved, and destroyed his own family, or the people he seemed to permanently get in contact with...
It was hard to decide... But what did it matter?
One second, he was there, pondering, the next, he had already jumped into action. Literaly.
He had jumped above the ... thing that was closest to him and slammed his cutlass right into its head.
When he'd do that in battles, sometimes his men'd make bets on how much it went through the body of the victim... not that it mattered to said victim, it was dead in any case.

The smoke samurai dissolved, but another one emerged from the smoke taking form, at least in groups of four, they all began attacking Johan.

Coal who was above was watching "Tryint to find a way out? impossible, even with geppou or rankyaku its pointless, that is the strength of Smoke fotress.... no matter where you walk you will face an uncuttable hardened smoke...... the only way out of here is to beat me..... which you would have to defeat the smoke army down there.... i wonder how long it will be before all the smoke around here constraints your lungs...... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"

Really, Johan noticed, the smoke made it harder to breathe.
He dodged a hit from one of the smoke samurai and, at the same time, ripped a piece of cloth from his shirt (his last one, as he'd realise later), which he tied it around his head, so that it covered his nose and mouth. It helped a little, but Johan knew that it wouldn't give him much more time.
With his rifle in one hand, he blocked a hit from one of the samuria while slashing another one with his cutlass.
Again, the thing dissolved and came back to ... what one could call life few seconds later.
How was he supposed to fight that? the only option he saw was to just buy time untill Best could defeat that marine guy.
He jumped to Alfrescos side, after all, his friend wasn't capable of defending himself. He'd just have to take on his opponents as well.

Maxulus smirks as he watches everything happening right before his eyes. He had already intedified some of his opponent's moves and he was about to enter the fight. With everyone having a hard time , he was pretty sure that things would not be easy for him... However , he had a mission to achieve and he would do anything to protect the others. He says to Johan and the others "Guys! This is simply some smoke! I think that there is a way to defeat all of them! If we manage to make some strong wind blow towards here , their body that is made of smoke will be dragged by the wind and they will disappear! Just think of a way!" The fourth division captain of the Anubis Pirates had just entered the battle.

Coal looked down and saw Max, he immediately recognized the number 4 of the Anubis pirates,and his bounty was sizeable. Coal grunted and then sent 5 smoke samurai after Max "Listen here ,wind cannot blow away the fortress, the smoke is too thick......." Max was not wrong though, the wind could defeat the samurai

Ranyx put his hands in his pockets. He began shifting his feet, leaning to dodge the attacks. "God, man. This wouldn't have happened if you hadn't provoked me." He just dodged the attacks until an opening appeared, upon which he smashed each samurai in the temple with a Shigan. He stood still, awaiting more attacks.

Coal then snapped his fingers "Smoke dome" A dome of smoke began surrounding Ranyx where he stood, to Coal that man would be the most troublesome, now that the 4th division commander entered the fray, Coal didnt even have to move from his spot.

Maxulus gets hit by the attacks of the smoke Samurai's. He did not dodge at all as he was thinking of a way to get rid of the smole. He did not listen to Coal's words who said that the smoke beings could not be destroyed; there had to be a disadvantage to them. As he is hit , he falls on the ground and coughs some blood. The attacks of the Samurais were not that strong for him but still he was attacked by five of them at the same time. As he is on the ground he watches at the smoke and he thinks "I guess I will have to try it... I do not have another choice..." His idea was not stupid but it was not that smart either. The only thing he could do at the moment was to open his Multibrella and the clones and make them spin with his Devil Fruit power to control them so much that they could cause a weak wind to blow and defeat the samurais. He immediately summons them above his body , and he opens them. He says "I do not know if this is stupid , but I guess I have no other way!" and then he begins spinning them.

The smoke samurai only the ones near Max were blowing away. The others were still attacking their respective targets elsewhere. Coal sighed "This is gonna be a bother.... Smoke chain......" Chains of Hardened smoke aimed to coil around Maxs feet.

Maxulus gets up quickly , right after the samurais are defeated and he picks the Multibrella with his right hand while the other ones disappear. He raises his eyebrows as he watches at the smoke coming at him and he laughs. He got the trick behind the attack and it would be easy to dodge it. Despite the fact that the chain was made of smoke , in its hardened state it was probably able to be hit with ordinary attacks. He quickly moves his Multibrella towards the chain to defend himself like he was defending himself from a sword attack , he summons the two clones and he says "Multibrella Sword Rampage!" as he sends the clones towards the Commodore in order to slash him.

((Clones?))

[the other two Multibrellas. I just made it able to clone the Umbrella twice so that the char would not have to modify three weapons instead of one.]

Coal simply then said "Burst into darkness.... smoke scythe....." Scythes of smoke came from the ground and immediately sliced down the unbrellas. Coal was higher up, he had used his powers well, but it was still tiring to do all these formalities.

Ranyx just sat down in a crosslegged position. Not worth wasting his energy on this.

"No...This is not real...This is an illusion!" are Maxulus' words who saw the scythes slicing his weapon. He looks around and he cannot believe that a mere marine is having the advantage in their battle. He takes a deep breath and he says "I guess I have no other choice then...Umbrella Expand!" and he turns into his Expand Form , in order to battle Coal with his full power.

Coal then said "I dont even want to fight you head on........ SMOKE ZONE,FOTRESS VERSION!!!!" A wave of smoke covers the entire fotress , taking away visibility and smell from the area.Meaning that the smoke samurai were more stronger.

This was bad. Very bad.
He had to fight smoke in an area that was filled with smoke.
He felt the sir of a slash coming towards him and jumped back, barely avoiding it. One of the streaks hanging in his face was cut off. Too close.
"Come on! Best, Maxulus, hurry it!"
