"Come now boo" Melissa said as she sat upon the rail of the ship. "It...IT..can't be....she.....she beat Captain Kuroso" The rev's uttered, looking on in disbelief as their Captain kneeled upon the ground, blood splattering his wounded body. Melissa sat, her legs crossed over as she looked to the man. "Surely this can't be all you have. You went through a lot of trouble getting this ship, why not tell me why?" "Hahaha, Marines not tell their dogs anything?" the Captain spat through gritted teeth. "You know. People have been calling me a dog a lot recently and I'm starting to get REALLY FUCKING ANGRY ABOUT IT" Melissa said as she pulled a single finger upwards, as she did from the snow upon the ground caused by her Ice Age ability a lance's head protruded, gently tapping the Captains neck.

"I won't tell you anything, DOG" "Shame, you are pretty sexy, I'd ride you at a gallop till your knees buckled....but oh well" As her finger began to twitch, one of the other revs who stood by helplessly shouted out. "TO STOP THEM" "PIEDRO SILENCE" "NOOOOO Piedroo old buddy old pal, Keep talking, He lives as long as your mouths moving" Melissa said, twitching her fingers as a threat.

"JORDSAND...." he shouted in panic. "What the fucks that when its at home?" Melissa said. "PIEDRO" the captain shouted again. "I'm sorry Captain.....I can't watch you die.......Jordsand is.....an uncharted Island, but rumours are rifem their is apparently a Ponyglyph lost to the ages, the marines want it...the pirates want it. This ship was heading their with.....this strange rock. We don't know what it is or why its so precious but we connected to their communications and took hold off it. If our ship hadnt got attacked by the seakings we wouldnt even be here...." "Polyglyph, and they weren't going to tell me this. I wonder if they know about me" she mused to herself.

"Thanks for the time Peidro" the captain said as he moved, Melissa who had been lost in thought hadn't even been paying attention to him, yet his speed increased in that moment, flying past the spear head and striking her. All Melissa recalled as she flew through the air was that her chest was burning and in great pain. She flew from the ship hitting the ground hard roughly eight meters from Acno's current position. The captain landing four meters away from Melissa, his legs burning, steam rising from the snow around him. "That information won't do a dead girl no good" he shouted as he charged forward.

The ghosts that the man sent were of no use. They did not hold the speed needed to be able to catch up to the Captain of the ship. His normal speed being superior to the ghosts regardless, with the use of the fire blasts to help him move even faster, they held no chance at catching him. Yet Melissa who by this point had stood up would sigh. "Caught me off guard, not bad suger. Bet you surprise all the girls in bed! "Shut up and Die" the man said as he brought his leg down. Yet in this moment, everything seemed to have slowed, the trajectory of the mans path was being shown to her, the way he was going to kick before he had fully done it, where it would land. So when she side stepped, turning her body, it looked as though it was done at the last moment, but it felt as though her mind had just been given a detailed walk through of how to play this game.

Another kick came soon after, as the mans body twisted around, his hands being used to turn him in the snow, yet Melissa would dance elegantly out of the way, at the same time bringing her hands upwards. The rotated helicopter propelling like motions of the man would halt as the snow ensnared his hands, compacting and restraining him. "NO MORE GAMES" The Captain uttered as he bent his body, using his feet to melt the snow and roll out of the way of the spears that came at him. The duo charged at each other once more, Melissa with a lance of snow, the Captain with his legs of heat, soon the battlefield was blanketed in a thick steam, the duo blocking strikes from one another, meeting each other blow for blow. Perfectly in sink.

"HE'S DOING IT, THE CAPTAINS FIGHTING AGAINST THE SHICHIBUKAI, HE CAN WIN THIS" Piedro shouted in glee. "No...look....look closer...the Captains giving it all he has, he's sweating, he's not gonna last much longer." "and? he'll beat her he's standing on the same ground as her." "Piedro...Look again...he's struggling, and she....the snow woman...is smiling"

@ghost

"Hahahaha, this is fun captain" Melissa said with glee as she danced around the battlefield, her haki enhanced fist blocking a strike from the raging fire enhanced leg. Though she was a manipulator of snow, she was not weakened by it in the sense that people seemed to believe. Even if he hit her intangible form it did not revert her back to normal, it caused pain that was true but not murderous strikes. Indeed it was the haki enhancement that covered his legs that caused her the most concern. Haki seemed to be a daily battle now, the days of being able to just allow attacks to phase through her against strong opponents were long gone. "Come now Captain, don't let your guard down" Melissa uttered as she produced a large sharp pillar of snow from below him, he would avert it with quick reflexes by jumping backwards, but Melissa had the same idea. Her backwards jump though placed her by the ship, a dome of snow would erupt upwards covering the ship itself as she smiled. "Just us and those two" she said nodding to Acno and the LT who was looking to him.

"Sorry Captain, but out little games going to be coming to an end" Melissa said as she moved her hair from her face. "I'll be taking this ship back now" Melissa said as she moved forward, through the use of Soru her speed would amplify greatly, thus for those who could not follow her speed, they would simply see her and the Captain himself vanish, only to re-appear where each other had previously stood. Having swapped locations. Both having their backs to one another. "HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT" Melissa shouted as she brought her leg upwards, dancing along the snow, she had to kneel down to cool the burn off. Yet moments after, a scream would come from the Captain position.


"You should put some ice on that straight away" Melissa would say as she turned to look at the Captain. He had fallen to the snow, unable to stand due to the sudden shift in balance, his right leg no longer being connected to the knee. "HOWWWWw, YOU BITCH" "Its a little ability I picked up, able to cut the air itself. I rarely use it but you know what, it seems like a cool little power, and it loooks like your out of time" Melissa said. Still with a smile on her face, and still sitting in the snow, now turned so that she could face the Captain she brought her hands upwards, the snow would slither over the Captains body, over his wound which turned the snow trying to overtake him red. Eventually with such speed his entire body would be encased in a thick powerful shell of snow. "And another one bits the dust" Melissa said. Though he was not actually dead, for she was not about that life right now, the snow would actually help him out, keeping him from fully bleeding out. "Easy peezy"

@Ghost

"Yer captains a snowman boys, if ye hurry to town with his leg they may be able to save it" Melissa uttered as the large dome of snow exploded into a flurry of snow flakes, she pointed with her thumb over her shoulder at the area in which the snowman Captain stood, his leg a few inches to the right of him. "Looks like that strange guy finished your Lieutenant off, he's not with me by the way, sooo if you want revenge for him then have at it" Melissa said as she walked on to the ship. "That's your only choices for getting out here alive, take your Captain or attempt to take that dude. But either way, your getting the fuck of this ship" The Yuki Yuki No Mi user said. Staring at the remaining standing members they would look to each other, a state of panic and then they fled. Melissa wouldn't care if they would run to the Captain or for Acno, she had her mission and with the Rev cell fleeing she could view it as complete.

It would be now where she would look to Acno, her mind open to two possibilities. "Oi, Ghost boy. How much was your bounty again?" she would say, leaning over the railings of the ship. Standing as beautiful as ever as she played with her hair. "It was in the sixties wasn't it?" she mused over as she looked to the remains of the LT. The ghost boy himself didn't exactly look in great shape himself. "Maybe you should get onboard and hurry up and find that Alice of your's, I'll help ya get her out before calling the marines to come take this ship back" She said, sighing as she motioned for him to get onboard.

In all honestly, she had actually forgotten about Alice, and though the snow onboard the ship remained, the sky of Drum Island began to halt its dandruff fall, the sun slowly flowing over allowing a very very gentle heat to glide through the air, not enough to do anything against the snow of course, being a Winter Island the sun's rays seemed to be unable to penetrate the snow and cold air to a fuller degree, but any change to the coldness was met with glee. "She might have frozen to death if she's being held hostage" she noted due to the condition of the ship.

"I honestly don't have any idea what your spraffing about cutie" Melissa said as she placed her hand under her chin. "Why would I tarnish my reputation around the world to let a low level pirate escape me?". As she spoke she stood at her full height [which was pretty small]. "Right now, I don't even know what to do. So put your stupid cards away and help me search this ship for your Alice and this cargo. The marines will be here soon and if they arrive, then my hand will be forced" Melissa said as she shrugged. "Just don't force my hand beautiful and we can see what happens" she said as she started walking. If Acno followed her she would continue the conversation.

"Curiously enough, You said we have a common enemy and that by my sweet ass letting you go it benefits us both, cuz this girls all about benefitting herself, sooooooo bend my ear." She said as she walked through the ship, she would check the doors, obviously as a marine ship their where some goodies but not really a vast amount of beli or gold, in fact there was none of that. Just ammunition, some weapons and stuff that really were of no use to her. "Cargo holds where I need to go, but we should check the brig to see if that little Alice of your's is here, what this hoe look like?" she asked as she walked, her bum wiggling as she moved. She would keep a side eye on Acno every now and again, he certainly wasn't one to be trusted thats for sure. Rumours of him abducting beautiful woman swirled through Paradise, the original doll maker was a famous crook with a vast bounty and his track record was somewhat flowing with Acnos.

"What made you go crazy and take up that old bastards mantle? Couldn't get girls the normal way?" she said with a cheeky little tone.

@Ghost

Melissa thought the man was crazy, but now she had full blown proof. One because he thought someone was prettier than her. Two, her insult caused such anger to flash upon his face, don't think she did not catch that, but the one thing that tipped the scale...THIS DUDE WAS TALKING TO NO ONE. "Did this prick just pop a boner over air" Melissa said her eyes glancing down to the crazy mans groin area. She spoke to herself in a mumble more so than anything else, though within his "trance" she very much doubted he would pay her much attention. Melissa knew of the Doll maker and his exploits, he was famed after all, though with everything Acno had said, it was not helping his case, to top it off he was no chasing down some imaginary figure mumbling as he went forth.

He would stop at a door, seemingly wavering, an uneasy look upon his face, even his aura had changed. Yet Melissa did not feel it. She was as cool as...well snow, because that was basically her temperature. While this crazy bugger had been following the ghost or whatever strange thing he was seeing, Melissa would continue to open door after door, until they came to but one, the one that Acno seemed uneasy to open. "Decision's been reached honey, It's not good" The Yuki Yuki No Mi user would utter. Alas she could not allow this man to leave here, atleast not without her supervision. He was clearly unhinged, stories of girls missing had been linked to his name and bodies had been found, he was playing a game and though Melissa was not some hero, she was indeed a female, and females gotta stick together right!. Not to mention Shiki had called her and given her other information.

Normally in many of these cases, Melissa would have let him go, if he hadn't been so loco, as well as within the Island where her family lived. He had made girls his target, he had murdered many and done god knows what to those poor souls, he could end up going after Olivia, or any other of the girls sent here from Water 7's slums. Melissa could not have that on her. So as the Snow Queen finished her sentence, her body would vanish. Through the use of Soru to amplify her speed, she would vanish from the man. Acno's back was to Melissa, he had halted just by the wooden door that made him feel so uneasy. Thus granting Melissa a clean shot to his back, though she did not intend to kill or make this a one hit ko victory, she would make her intentions clear. Her attack would come in the form of an open palmed strike to the back of Acno, with her power, if her strike was successful she would push him hard enough that he would be sent into the wooden door which would shatter from the force of her strike and his body being pushed through. Surely he would survive this given that she would hold back from releasing her full force. Yet she would now let her guard down, his strange ghosts which currently where not around came from his body, that much she had garnered from seeing him in action.

"Sorry dude, can't let someone as loco as you wander around alone"

Snow danced within the hall of the deck, summoned forth by the Queen herself. "Sorry hunny bunny, just can't let you keep killing little women folk". She had entered the room, the stone tablet thirteen meters from Acno while Melissa was four meters from him. Her Ice age skill would blast the entire room in a white powder, a skill that did no damage on its own except make a vast winter wonderland were ever she went. "You keep saying we need each other, but I don't see how I need you?" she would say. With the room covered in snow that was under her control, she would bring her hand upward, with blinding speed snow attempted to wrap around Acno, binding him and compressing against him. The intense cold would surely have effects on him now. His clothing would be soaked by the snow.

If Melissa's attempt at binding him where successful, she would leave his head uncovered, allowing him to speak. If this attempt were successful, Melissa would move through the snowy ground that was indeed incredibly thick as if it were not there at all. "So this, this is the cargo? a fucking piece of stone?" Melissa said as she swiped the snow from the stone, as she did so her finger touched upon it ever so gently, a brush of skin glancing against the naked marble, for a moment..just a moment she felt...cold. "W...WOAH" she said as she stumbled, her powers had not been entirely negated, such as Acnos bindings, yet she had felt as though her body had returned to itself in that mere instant. "WHAT THE FUCK" she said backing away, evidently worried. "That thing....is fucking strange" she said. "You got any idea on what that fucking thing is?" she barked at Acno.
