Malthe walked through the marketplace with coins jangling in his pockets, along with small trinkets he had thieved from random vendors. He walked with a swagger along with his companions.
Elaina
Kaito was walking close to Malthe and the rest of his mateys, donning his sword on his shoulder as an intimidation tactic, but he himself was relatively relaxed with his head laid back.
Donald
Lady walked alongside slowly, eyeing the vendors slowly to see if anything matched her taste. She had a larger purse on her this time to efficiently steal. 

*" You're annoying me, just put your coins in my purse. "* Lady shot at Malthe with the usual toxicity in her voice.
Marshall
"**Do it somewhere quiet, I've got a* *Lot*** **Of price tags in there, stop being so mopey, if you will.**" Malthe replied with a snarky grin, putting his hand onto her head and tapping it a few times before getting intimidated by her darkening features and taking it off. A cold sweat went down his forehead.
Marlene
Fuck command fail afahfh
Elaina
**"Yeah, I don't think anybody cares here. Oh, and can we do something more of my interest for once? I kinda wanna use my swords."**

Kaito added on, his face filled with absolute boredom from sticking around with them, even yawning to make it obvious. He just tapped his sword on his shoulder, as a way to somehow satiate his lack of action.
Tory
Im way too sleepy for this shi maaaan
Donald
*" ...Are you going to fight someone in the middle of a marketplace, swordsman? Stupid ideas, so very stupid... "* Lady rolled her eyes, glaring at the musician for she wasn't the fondest of touch as the masses of jewelry the musician stole fell into her purse.
Marshall
"**Ha- do whatever you wish, swordsman! I like your behavior, I'd love being popular again.**" Malthe laughed at his antics as he leaned closer to softly tap at the sword, small 'clings' ringing on the metal underneath its cover.
Elaina
**"Man, you two are some freaks of nature... Though, if I'm being honest - there isn't anyone interesting here to fight."**

Kaito just kept walking along, hoping to find somebody interesting enough to challenge to a duel, but it was a fruitless endeavour, for now...
Angela
*A round lead ball went flying just past Kaito's head, with the direction and trajectory tweaked just enough so it wouldn't actually hit any of the trio. Ash could be seen not very far away, with the flintlock still in his hand.* 

***"Wanna take it back meathead?"***
Elaina
Kaito's face instantly flashed with a smile and a slight chuckle as he looked towards the source of the shot lead ball, only to be met with exactly who he was expecting. 

**"You really do manage to surprise me with your timing, you trigger-happy scallywag."**

As Kaito ended his sentence, he instantly sprinted full speed towards Ash with his magic boosting him. Once he got close enough, jumping up and going for a dropkick into the sniper.
Donald
As the bullet traveled through the crowd in precision, Lady *Almost* Screamed, biting her tongue tightly to refrain and keep composure. Still full of fear, Lady gazed at Ashura briefly. It was nice to see a face that wasn't *Revolting* Once in a while- if only she didn't expect the swordsman and sniper to brawl instantly.

*" ...Fools... "* Lady sighed in agony.
Marshall
**"HA! Are they serious right now? Hilarious, actually hilarious... Continue clutching your pearls my lady, I'll be watching joyously, you'll have to handle the aftermath."** Malthe laughed as he watched the two fight, an arm slighting over Lady's shoulder as he scoffed. Finding the situation entirely ridiculous, Malthe clapped at the two as a small crowd formed around.
Angela
*In the same way that the swordman's did, a smile came across Ash's face. Kaito blasted towards Ash, and in a split second reaction, he attempted to put a guard up. Being just barely quick enough. Despite his guard, it didn't completely nullify it as he felt a small stinging in his arm and he was pushed back anyway, leaving a trail in the dirt. The swordsman had certainly gotten stronger.*

***"Bastard."***

*Ash dropped his flintlock and quickly dashed towards Kaito. Seemingly going for an overhead punch with his right, it turned into a feint, and instead resulted in an upper cut with his left which was aimed directly at the upper portion of Kaito's body.*
Elaina
As the dropkick flew into Ashura with little devastating effect, he quickly propelled himself off his arms sideways and with a quick mid-air roll, he landed right onto his legs before turning to face the sniper again.

**"Not as frail as you look, definitely not as much as those two."**

Kaito examined Ash closely going toward him, looking at how he was preparing for an overhead punch, but he knew it was too obvious and there had to be more to his attack - and he was right. 

It was a bit too late for the swordsman to go for a counter attack, but as his magic had already covered his limbs in dragon-themed armor, he instead let Ashura go through with the upper cut and transfer the energy by jumping upwards into the air and going with a front flip right behind Ashura. Only when he turned around, he noticed Malthe having a slight tad bit too much amusement from their fight. 

**"Hey, Ashura. Are we gonna let this freak take the piss out of us?" **

He said so with a serious stare right at Malthe, whilst pointing at him.
Tory
Me and gajeel are fighting
Donald
*" Why am I getting reeled into this fued? As much as you'd think, I'm not frail, piss off. "* Lady bit back, using this fight to pickpocket certain gullible strangers that were crowding over to watch the fights. Really, the only fun part of being in a crowd. 

*" And you, musician, keep your hands off of me. "* Lady spat as she slapped Malthe's arm off of her shoulder as the amount of wallets and trinkets slowly piled up inside of her purse.
Margaret
Play sent smth strnage
Marshall
**"Woah, woman, all friendly, all jokes."** Malthe said protectively before watching the lady slowly push her hands into stranger's pockets, trying to hold in a laugh. However, after Kaito's remark, he felt his blood run cold.

**"I'd rather not get into this brawl, keep that shit to yourselves, gentlemen. Also- I'm not a frail man, I can pack a punch or two. You really need to stop questioning my masculinity."** Malthe rolled his eyes.
Angela
*His eyes turned towards the growing crowd after the sudden call out by Kaito. Although the, um, giant removed his arm, Ash still caught a glimpse of it, which was all he needed. He is shoot first ask later after all. Almost instantly, a second revolver was snatched from his waste and pointed towards Malthe. Directly after, a hot ball of lead was sent right past his head. A warning shot. He couldn't care less about the crowd.*

***"Keep ya hands off of Lady."***
Elaina
Kaito quickly moved to the side of Ashura, as he also drew his weapons - his two swords, and got into a stance pointing toward Malthe.

**"You might pack a few punches, but what can you pack against real weapons?" **
Donald
*" Now, they're looking fairly hostile, it's going to turn into a real bitch fight. Have fun getting them off your ass by yourself. "* The corners of Lady's mouth pulled into a small smile as malicious as ever. One average grocery-shopping day. Lady sort of... Felt like a babysitter of three fairly immature kids!

*" If I'm supposed to clean up this mess. I better make some fun out of it. "*
Marshall
**"Well, I apologize, my lady. If I offer another act of friendliness that is much forbidden and disliked, I may be just killed by your little sniper over there, are you satisfied?"** Malthe sighed, his words sarcastic, however an apology an apology, he stared down the sniper and swordsman warily and intimidatingly. 

**"Against a weapon? That sword? Please, a stone would do more damage."** He scoffed.
Angela
*Returning his own stare towards Malthe, the sniper wasn't intimidated in the slightest bit. Instead, he took it as somewhat of a challenge. A smirk broke onto his face right before his next words were pronounced.*

***"Big as you are, I can promise you that no one, hell, not even anyone bigger than you could take these and just walk away. Ask the swordsman, he's seen it. I don't miss, and I can guarantee you that this won't be where I do."***
Elaina
Kaito just let Ashura finish, whilst slightly nodding at his remarks, but his stare ever so became menacing towards Malthe as he insulted his blades. 

**"I spent day and night smithing these blades, with hot melted steel and hammering away. You wouldnt know anything about these blades or their sharpness, damned sun-fucker."**
Donald
*" Your apology was pitiful to say the least, musician, be happy that I'm in a happier mood today so I won't gut you. I'm content that a face that isn't completely nauseating appeared within my eyesight. Give that little sniper your thanks. "* Lady retorted with a smile, her eyebags twitching slightly with bitterness. Lady shortly exchanged a glance towards Ashura before going back to piling her purse with wallets and ornaments that weren't hers.

*" Back to the waters, little seal. "*
Marshall
**"My apology, pitiful? Gutting me? Awh, I'm honored, madam. I'll give my thanks sooner or later after I bruise him a little, hope you won't mind."** Malthe remarked snarkily before his hostility melted into his usual nonchalance. Playing dumb & weak won't help him in this situation, the two men against him are people he's been spending with for far too long. They *Knew* Malthe was a disingenuous snake despite his truthfully sincere appearance. 

**"Mere bullets and steel could do nothing against the sun for it would simply melt away. Be prepared to burn alive, men- I've seen and experienced tortures far worse than what your measly humanity could offer."** Malthe spoke wisply, Lagavulin! The name of a popular whiskey distillery, the lovely lady of the lochs. His giant archlute shared a name with it. As he held it up proudly and gracefully, it seemed to slowly unfold itself into the form of a giant silver spear decorated with seal fur and turquoise jewels. It radiated the energy of the tides- soothing and resonating with Malthe's blazing core. The tips of Malthe's skin slowly chipped black like ash particles as he approached the two with a swagger.
Angela
***"Oh? Finally shedding that false skin are we? It's about time. I'm sick of how cocky all of you special races are."***

*Ash prepared himself, and saw the swordsman do the same. Humans against a being with seemingly bullshit power, what a classic tale. Almost instantly, before Malthe could take another step, six balls of lead were fired out. Each with a different target, some being set aflame upon reaching said target. Yet, not melting. Two to the arms, one towards the liver and another two fallen towards the kneecaps. The last one astray, or so it would seem. Instead of landing at the giant, it would instead be sent towards a rather interesting spot. A creek. On its way there, it would directly pass Kaito's face, maybe an inch from hitting him head on. Hoping that the swordsman would understand, Ash kept his eyes following the approaching Selkie. He wasn't in front of them yet, but he would certainly get there soon.*
Edwin
*The busy marketplace bustling with people trying to sustain themselves, focused on the means of survival while by the road a small lump can be seen that makes a bump. This slight bump would then move slowly and rising from the ground as the lump reveals piece by piece of a creature that came through from the underground. The large turtle revealed himself from the ground as seeing past the hole was a whole tunnelway where he had likely passed by through the entire way. The turtle turned his body towards his hole and scraped the soil that made a small wall around the crater, using that as a means to cover and align the soil back into its natural road as he pats the top as if saying, 'Done!'*

*The turtle finished covering its hole but heard a strange but familiar voice within a quarrel as he turns around and wanders a bit to the noise and finds Lady and Kaito whom he was a bit jolly to see as its been a while since he has seen them. He smiled and wandered his way beside Lady as he looked towards the group with a massive slouched body with a metal shell with cannons, the turtle would ask softly by his voice not wanting to cause mass attention to everyone else in the area. Trying to be considerate but gave off more of a soft and shy curiosity.*

 __Chomper:__
"Why is Kaito angry?"
Elaina
**"Measly humanity? That's funny. I wonder what will break first - your spirit or your body?"**

As if in an instant - his whole body got covered in a thin, translucent veil of magic that resembled armour, dragon-themed armour, while he himself slightly crouched down, similar to preparing to sprint. The swordsman's muscles tensed up, slightly moving his head away from the stray bullet that almost hit his head, but without hesitating a moment - he launched like the divine arrow of God.

**"It's only a matter of time until you fly too close to the sun." **

Kaito just ran circles around Malthe at a safe distance, keeping his eye pinned right on his spear-shaped weapon, while at the same time dispersing the crowd to a more safe distance. But as he did, a familiar, tall and huge figure would obstruct his view - Chomper. It was as if muscle memory, instantly jumping on top of him and sliding right into one of his cannons, whilst holding his swords upside down and his blades facing towards the back.

**"CHOMPER! You see that tall man, with the weird spear thingy? You shoot me straight at him, so I can hug him and make more friends for you. Ready?"**
Donald
*" Swordsman- don't bring him into this. If the musician ends up needing care, I'd have to pay for it. Friendly banter, friendly bruising, I'll kill you both if a single penny of profit is lost from this. "* Lady Bitter glared at them before approaching Chomper slowly. A little intimidated, naturally- but she knew he doesn't inflict any harm. Putting her thin hand onto the top of his head. She rolled her eyes upon this stupid idiocy she was watching. Flinching softly at the sound of gunshots, she could really never get used to it.

*" If you launch the swordsman too hard, the tall man could get hurt. Careful, chomper, gentle. "* She said with a snarky grin, oh how she loved sabotaging other people's fun! Progressingly wicked, Lady showed off the masses of wallets and jewelry inside her purse.
Marshall
**"Cocky? Don't be a fool, Ashura, I am as a simple, humble man as ever."** Malthe said with a smirk, easy to predict- bullets, a weapon he wasn't as familiar with challenging, and quite frankly, one of the hardest weapons to go against. Malthe's main focus would be Ashura until his load of bullets disappear or until he found a way to immobilize him. 

**"Why, don't you find this a little unfair..."** Malthe complained, shedding crocodile tears, the spear instantly transformed back into the giant archlute. Using its wide side to quickly swing and scatter the bullets away. Malthe's vision- naturally enhanced for he had spent years and years under the dark cold sea. Malthe ricocheted the two bullets heading towards his knees with his resistant archlute while he simply changed his posture and pulled up his arms to avoid the bullets going towards his arms. The most complicated one to avoid was the one going straight towards his liver... Malthe, being as smart as he is, simply created a duplicate of himself right in front of him. Watching it get hit by the bullet, it writhed.

**"Ever seen yourself die- Ashura? To be frank, it's quite entertaining."** Malthe spoke through grit teeth, quickly aiding his duplicate and pulling the bullet out of its liver before frantically morphing into one again. The wound disappeared, however Malthe still held his abdomen. 

An unwarrented visitor; the damned turtle with the cannons, as Kaito jumped into the cannon, it would buy Malthe some time to entirely focus on Ashura. The archlute instantaneously morphed back into its spear form, and in the blink of an eye, Malthe charged the head of his spear towards Ashura. Not exactly hostile, for it would barely miss him through the left of his abdomen. Malthe spun his spear around as the butt of the rod would take Ashura down and pin him. Malthe stood straight as he put his foot onto his spear, pressing the man down.

*Chomper listened to everyone carefully and thought about the process carefully, Kaito wants to launch himself to this particular person, but Lady thinks its all nonsense. The other think differently too as they have their own agenda and desires. The culmination of varied opinions suddenly made Chomper sink slightly to the ground as his mind is figuratively being weighted of the thought, burying his feet under the ground but his mind has clarified to a single thought instead but allowing such stupidity but initiating it in a different way!*

*The giant turtle would grab Kaito and places him in the cannon but aimed upright towards the sky as he readies himself to launch the man with his arms tightened and his body curled slightly if he is doing crunches but as his arms raised as if he was about to let out a shout, the cannon blasted out Kaito in sync to his arms pulling together letting out a strange stance and a likely shouting Kaito as he flies to the air, he knows the trajectory should return back to sender but he could align himself to aim towards his target anyways.*
