Hearing a commotion outside, Shin and Ruby begrudgingly took a peek. With a creek of the door that made them cringe, the two had a crack to peek out and find Victor laying on the deck.

Ruby/Shin: Huh?

Rushing to the injured gunslingers side, the two tried to see how they could help.

Ruby: What happened?!

Victor:(coughs)... Couldn't... quite hit the vitals... Needed permission- ugh!

Falling unconscious, the two were left to ponder what Victor was trying to say, whilst completely unaware of the figure looming over them.

That is, when they saw their shadow get cast upon them.

Shin: Huh?

Shin:!?!

Ruby:(turns head)

Ruby:?!!!

Ruby: No...

(Opening Theme)

Tiga:(munching)

After getting dropped off onto the ship, Tiga randomly began exploring.

Eventually coming across the cafeteria, she beat up the cooks and behan to eat their prepared food.

Tiga:(burp)

Tiga:(sniff, sniff)... Davy!

Finding Davy's scent, Tiga was back on the hunt. She raced out of the cafeteria to try and find her captain.

Elsewhere, Jade was face to face with Davy J's grandfather and John Paul Jones's father. Admiral Koby.

Koby: A Helllord, right in front of me.

Jade: John's dear papa... It's been a while. And may I say how YOU'RE definitely where John got his looks from.

Koby: I'm taking you to the brig. For being my son's friend, I'll ask kindly... Only once.

Koby: Come quietly.

Jade: Oh honey, how loud I "come" depends on you~

Koby:....

Jade:(smirks) You know... I used to be into older guys, until I became an older woman. But you're just bringing that old desire back.

Koby: Not interested.

Jade: Too bad...Now if you don't mind, I have a ship to get back to. And anyone who gets in my way...

Jade: Will face my wrath.

Koby:(crosses arms) I've been fighting pirates since you were in diapers. You don't scare me one bit.

Jade:...

Jade: And like that... My love for older men dies again.

The two quickly throw a punch at each other.

(BAM)

(Elsewhere...)

Davy stumbled into the laboratory of Kai after the entire ship rumbled all of the sudden.

Kai:(looks around) Interesting...?

Kai: Well, anyway. Welcome to my third favorite laboratory. Shall we begin the experiment?

Davy: Begin the beat down? Yeah sure thing!

(Vrooooo)

Ro-Ro surfing over to Kai, Davy leaped and spun his waist for a powerful kick.

Davy: "Ro-Ro;..."

Kai:(smirks)

Davy: "Comedian"!!

Kai: Hm?

His legs spin fast enough to generate lift like helicopter blades. Curving into a black flip, Davy unleashes his real attack.

Davy: "Ro-Ro; Boxer"!

He throws a punch at Kai, but upon making contact, Davy lose all his strength.

Kai smacks Davy away, letting him regain his power.

Landing on his feet, Davy hears a awkward squirt sound, before finding his feet covered in this gray paste.

Davy: Ugh! The heck is this!?

He pulls his feet, but the gunk won't give and Davy is unable to step away.

Kai: Hmm... Fascinating.

Kai: That right there is one of my newest invention. A Sea stone gum mix.

Kai: But it seems the Sea stone percentage is to small to effect you. Or perhaps the mixture made it lose its Anti-fruit powers...?

Kai: Oh well...

Kai: I have other things I wished to test...

(Rumble)

Kai: After I figure out what's causing these tremors.

(Meanwhile, on the Wicked Wench...)

Shin and Ruby stared in horror at the cyborg entity that stood in front of them.

And they were a familiar one at that.

Metal wings, metal arms and legs, and a see through chest revealing more mechanical parts inside her body.

???: Hmph.

(WOOSH)

They attacked the two, but for some reason missed, hitting the deck of the Wicked Wench and making an explosion.

(BOOOOM)

???:... Readjusting calculations.

(The Archangel; Azriel)

Ruby could only put a hand over her mouth at seeing her friend this way.

Shin:(mind) The tech on her is out of this world... But how it's used, comes straight from hell.

Shin: Azriel...? Don't you recognize us?

Azriel:...

The brace on her wrist turns as she aims at Shin.

Azriel:...

Shin:.!?

Azriel:...

She walks away, leaping of the Wicked Wench and takes flight.

Ruby: Azriel... What have they done to you..?

(Elsewhere....)

Jade rushed towards Koby fearlessly. The Admiral flicked a finger, using one ability from a fighting technique knows as the "Six Paths".

Jade was sent flipping back.

She quickly landed on her feet and took another air bullets as she now walked towards the Admiral.

Koby knew quite well what Jade's Devil Fruit allowed her to do. Physical contact was to be avoided at all cost, or else he would be fighting an uphill battle.

So, the Admiral took of his coat and wrapped it around his fist.

Koby: Let's not drag this out.

(WOOSH)

Jade:!?

(WHAM)

Appearing right behind her, Koby smashed his fist into Jade. The whole ship shook as Jade's head whipped to the side.

After a light twirl, Jade began leaning back as if she was about to fall.

Jade: Ah~

Koby:?

Quickly catching herself, Jade places a hand on the spot of impact.

Jade:(squeals)

Jade: I haven't been hit like that in a while!

Koby: Eh?

Jade: Don't get me wrong! I'm not a masochist or anything. But it's been a a while since I felt something. And ooooh~

Jade: It's refreshing! Do it again!

Koby:!!?

(Elsewhere...)

Tiga was approaching Davy's location when she cane across a panting Metana, hunched over, desperately trying to catch her breath as Marines approached.

Marine: Hey, who are-

Tiga: "Thunder Jaguar"!

(Krackakkoom)

With an electrically charged drop kick, Tiga knocked the Marines away.

Metana: Oh! Tiga! What are you doing here?

Tiga: I don't know.

Tiga: Where's Davy?

Metana: He was following Kai. But...(Pants)... Boys are fast... At least those two were.

Metana: I think they're behind that door.

Tiga: Alright! Let's-

Tiga:(sniff, sniff)

Tiga: Oh?

Metana: What's wrong girl? What do you smell?

Turning around, Tiga directs Metana's attention back as well.

Together, the two see the familiar face of Azriel, in all her mechanical horror.

Azriel:...

Tiga/Metana:!?!

Metana: S-Sis!

The younger sister couldn't notice nor care about her condition as she rushed towards Azriel, leaping into her arms.

The Archangel caught her and allowed Metana to hug her, but their expression remained stoic with her gaze looking through her.

Metana: I missed you so much!

Metana: Your crew's taken good care of me, though! But now that you're backz, I can feel at ease.

Metana: Oh! We should find Dad- AHHHH!

Metana: I completely forgot about him. He might be worried sick... Ugh... We're so grounded...

Tiga approched, curious as a cat, examining Azriel's new body. Her see through chest particularly caught her interest.

Tiga: What happened to your boobies?

(WOOSH)

Azriel's right wing, swung like a blade at Tiga who coated her hands in Haki and blocked the attack.

Metana: Tiga!

Metana: That's probably a sensitive subject!

Tiga: Oh!

Tiga: Sorry...

Metana: But yeah, what did happen? Because these things are still soft-

Lightly tossing Metana aside, Azriel turns to face Tiga.

Tiga: You wanna fight?

Tiga:(smiles) Let's go!

Tiga: Show me what you're made of!

(Rumble)
