"Doctor I don't think it is wise to dispatch your mans. We need a plan first. We don't know the extent of our enemies abilities. Nor do we know what their dirty asses have done to the place. But, if you want them to just head up ahead....that is fine. I just wanted to give you my opinion. As traps could liter every part of this place. " Calico would quickly chim in to Dr. K's followers. He didn't do this for their well being. One trap could set off another. And that could cause Calico personal problem. This place wasn't the largest but there would be lots of ground to cover. They didn't know where Sofia's Father was at all. Just that he could be in there. Calico, honestly, felt the Man was dead and Sofia was just coming to see her Father's corpse for some sick game.

"Sofia what was the name of the person that took your Father?" Calico didn't know. If she had said it he probably didn't hear her at all. Calico was a bounty hunter or Pirate hunter as he called it. And with his dealings with Nicky west he had a updated list of Pirates rumored to be on this current Island. It not even being a week after he had faced against one last. His current state was not 100%. But in his life he found he really was like that. He would however do his very best to guarantee his life was protected. Shusui was resting at his side ready to guarantee that.

During their walk hear he periodically turned his focus upward at the sky. He wasn't someone that study the clouds and weather, he didn't even know what they were called. But being someone that has sailed countless time he around Jaya he has grown familiar with how the clouds look when they want to cry. He'd never was able to tell how much would come but that it would come. And tonight it would come. He didn't know when but he would take a guess for less than two hours. This didn't really matter all that much due to them planning on heading inside.

He had lead them to a spot that allowed them to view the building, but not be so out in the open. Trees and bushes obscuring their figures in the night. Allowing the clear view of the patio and main building.  This was because getting found out could allow for last minute edits to the enemies plan. As Calico believed the enemy didn't know Sofia would bring him or Dr. K. Two individuals who weren't your run of the mill. Both in one way or another had garnered some fame on this Island. He however didn't doubt she didn't account for Sofia bringing others to help.

Calico would simply shrug his shoulders from Dr. K's response from his concern. He just felt one way and Dr. K felt another. He wouldn't press the issue. Sofia would tell them who the one that took her Father was, and that was bad. Calico read up about shorty a lot. She was not someone that would easily be taken in alive. So Calico was, if given the chance, would take her life. He did think about it briefly though. Maybe one of the many barrels next to the fountain could be used to hold her if they knock her out. The tops rested onto or beside so they could keep her in there without any problem. Maybe even filling it with water and keeping her wet if she was a devil fruit user. But, that would be super hard and too much. So instead of voicing that thought he would piece together what Sofia was going to say before she caught herself. Dr. K didn't comment on it but was rather more preoccupied with greeting a newcomer. Introductions would be made on their behalf.

"I am no Pirate, Dr. K. More of a hunter just like Jacqueline.....And Lady Sofia if you wish to call the Marines, don't bother. The Female hunter is too skilled to be caught by them. And they just will complicate things." Calico would put his hands on his hips. They had a lot of people right now. Jacqueline had a hefty bounty on her head. He wished he could capture her but that was something he didn't feel he could do right now. With his current state and distance he couldn't risk transporting her at all.  

He was about to speak again but something loud would be heard. It was a scream of a fool that was sent into danger. Calico held back laughter and "I told you so". Things happened. There was no time to cry over spilled milk and he was glad that Dr. K pulled out his weapon. "Don't use that ability on me...like you did Sofia. We split up. That is the only logical thing to do. Dr. K and I will head to the sound of the screaming. New guy protect Sofia and see who that is that came out capture and find something ou....I think you'd be best for that? Or are you weak?" Calico wasn't trying to take command really. He just wanted to make sure they covered ground without splitting up too much. He didn't want to risk himself to go to whoever it was that came outside. He doubted it was Jacqueline as that wouldn't make sense at all. She was a hunter and this was her playground.

Jacqueline really did come out and this changed everything, sadly. How things would be done now would all change. There were a lot of actions that took place so quickly as well. The recon work down by Dr. K's subordinates took minutes, and one had even been captured. The first scream able to be heard by everyone if they paid attention. Which was understandable. As seconds after that Jacqueline had emerged and should be everyone's focus now. She was dangerous. A head on fight would be drawn out and too much work, for both parties. But before Calico could dealt with her he needed to do something else first.

The Doctor once again took it upon himself to make or try to make a decision as team leader. Something that Calico inadvertently was doing as well. Calico wanted them to stick together and devise a plan. Dr. K wanted to send his Men out first. That proved unwise. Calico wanted them to break into teams. Dr. K wanted them to basically stick together. There was nothing wrong with what the Doctor did or was doing. The others weren't forced to follow anyone nor would be by Calico. He also understood the Doctor somewhat. As in his profession he more than likely always taking charge. Especially since he owned his own practice. Calico had no problem with Dr. K when it came to that; as both were similar in that aspect. What he had a problem with is what he said to Jacqueline. About what Pirates were. He almost snapped from what was said immediately, as it disgusted him. Dr. K and most likely the other associates with him were playing Pirate. Something that Calico time and time again comments on when it comes to these new generation Pirates. These mystical fruits swelled their heads. Marines babied them. And other things were the cause of all this softness. They didn't want to be Pirates they wanted to be heros or just go on adventures. Why they were here now was because of Sofia, and only her. They all relaxed and almost broke bread together. So Calico would at one point help her in rescuing her Father and maybe get revenge. That should not be questioned ever. What should be questioned is why no one moved with haste. Jacqueline walked toward them like she had a trick up her sleeve, so her walking was understandable. Sofia and Madori on the other hand should've run. Her focus would be drawn to them or Dr. K and Calico. Either way it would be split and allow some type of opening from one of them.

Jacqueline as stated by Dr. K in his post was forty meters away. And walking in their direction.  Madori, Dr. K, Sofia,Calico, and the others were closer to each other. No more than ten meters apart. That was the extent of the distance any of them could move past before it happened. Even with Sofia turning away from Calico and beginning her creep toward a nearby door that lead into the a section of the mansion. As at the beginning of her walk Dr. K still was speaking. It was good that Sofia was more focused on finding her Father, and also let Calico know she really wasn't a fighter. What Madori did at this moment wouldn't matter as he just like most in here were slow. "I have no problems with someone making a living off kidnapping people, we’re pirates after all.”Those were the words uttered when Sofia was two meters from the door she approached. And seconds later his second sentence would start. The word civilians being Calico's trigger. Nothing had been done or really needed to be done to stop Dr. K from speaking. As the trigger only caused what was to come quicker. And due to how things moved one actions was superior than the others when it came to execution. What was going on was the easiest and beneficial way. The other option that came along with this would lean more toward the bloody side. As his killing intent had already been focused at Dr. K during the start of his second sentence, to make sure nothing dumb was said.

With the distance she couldn't speak at a hushed tone toward them, even with her moving in their direction. He wouldn't say she yelled but her voice carried over to them loudly. Calico when he addressed her would speak loudly with his first sentence, close to a yell. He wanted to start out talking with power, in a way exerting his dominance. A impactful man Calico would strive to be. Following his first sentence his voice would lowered to that of how Jacqueline spoke. Loud enough for his voice to carry but not too loud that he would be screaming. Why this mattered was because Calico would change the entire game. Not because things weren't going his way, he wasn't that much of a child. But because seeing Jacqueline kinda got him a bit hard. What he could do to that Woman was unspeakable. She also was a Hunter. A twisted Woman that was not your run of the mill Pirate. She was a Hunter and Monster. And Calico was a Hunter and Monster. What they hunted for differed. And the games they played might not be the same. That however didn't matter. He had a attraction to her.

In the end everything that would happen in the would make sense. Trust wasn't guaranteed to grow again though, but the seeds for it should've never been planted. Hate him if you want. He was never a good person. He did things he liked and wanted. And his method to things were foreign to those not like him. To not hide anything but be clear as day. Nothing would be be done physically to anyone right now. But the conqueror haki of Calico jack would engulf the area. When he'd exactly has already been stated. But so it is clear it would be during when Dr. K spoke. Though it didn't henge on him speaking. With the distance and speed of the wave being taken in account it'd take some serious luck to avoid what was coming.

Figurative lives rested in his palms. Hastened actions could stray Calico from following through with many things, such as promises. Especially if those actions wronged him in anyway; there being a line that he could cross and cause great heartache. The Hunter almost crossed that line from what Jacqueline had done. Initiating a game before the players had truly picked their side would lead to a avoidable mess. She assumed there was betrayal when Calico was never on the side of Dr. K nor this new Man. He had intentions of just doing this for someone that brought him something. That however was a muddy future now. And blame had been pushed when there was no real issue or danger. As Calico never forgets. As her actions didn't match up with the situation. A wave that moved quicker than most currently present seemed to be seen clear as day. The source being shared also made him cringe a bit. Still he stayed on the side of the line everyone wanted, but that could change at any second.  

If you thought he was done right away you were dumb. His actions moved quickly though not at his highest of speeds right away; regardless it was far superior to anyone other than Jacqueline. They wore decent clothing as they didn't rip upon him grabbing their collars. No slip ups or anything. He was fast and he caught them before they fell, crouching quickly he gently placed them on the ground. First he would grab the collar of Dr. K and following that he would grab the collar of Madori. That was the order he grabbed them before they fell. They were inches from him the entire time, and he was aware of their position each time. His reach was actually possible due to the distance that was between the three, who would've thought. The only problem was Sofia hadn't fallen. He noticed this the second he saw the other two begin to buckle. That being when his reach occured. At the moment they were on the ground, a distant that wouldn't even give minor injuries, he'd push out. His actions  were done in seconds as he already decided what he would do if this happened or that happened. Not taking his time with anything at all. Sofia was two meters away from the door. The distance she was from Calico was less, she was within the range of his blade.

He had lowered them at the point Sofia had begun to look back. In that time stopping her from taking in the surrounds wasn't done. She'd see him obviously but never anything he did with his blade. He didn't know how she'd react to anything he would do, but that didn't matter. As knew a reaction would be made. That reaction not mattering at all and held no sway in what Calico would do. As he already had planned for all of them. Since all actions would be pointless. So he had to put her down for a nap as well. Removed from its sheath before any words other than Jacqueline's were uttered. For reference his actions arrived right at the moment she finally realized what was going on and blinked. As in the games Calico played if you blinked you could lose your life. This however wasn't his game but Jacquelines.

Art of Iaido was done in a different way that it usually was. There was no upward slash but one more at a angle. With poor visual prowess his actions weren't even visible to anyone other than Jacqueline. Who was still talking right now and had just begun to sway side to side. The angle should be enough to land on the left temple of Sofia. The second strike came almost as quick, maybe even quicker. The impact from the first strike not even registered yet. It however was raised higher but struck the same area. If he wanted to kill her this would've happened but there would be no beheading, but there might be blood. Rather he held back just a little. That meaning being knocked out would occur if the strikes were able to land. There was one person to stop this but that one person had no real reason to do so. And with thirty nine meters between them she couldn't. She would be able to see how Calico switched up his blade. Just how Calico so what here really were. If his attack didn't land for some reason things would obviously be different. A rather hungry approach would be done to ensure escape.

Under the assumption that the last one had been knocked out he finally spoke, how it was stated he would. However at any time Jacqueline tried to do anything funny, that he found not to his liking he would not speak any further. Rather prepare himself to end this. "I AM YOURS!" There was nothing but power within his first words. As at any moment he had to defend himself he would, as his attention was put back on Jacqueline the moment his attack landed, if it landed. "Let me first start by saying...I want you. That is why I declared myself yours. You are stunning. He would bite his lip after saying such. He spoke quickly but clearly. Not mincing any of his words.  I will also say that you need assistance. And that I want to work with you. So you will help me move these bodies, or get someone that can. So I can put them where you want. As they aren't dead. Killing them wouldn't allow myself to gain your favor.This one with blonde hair has a devil fruit. You probably have accounted for that, as you don't seem like someone to be prepared for anything. Even Devil Fruit users. But, his allows him to switch people and possibly inanimate objects. Which is dangerous." He grabbed Dr. K and Madori by their collars, each of them earned one of his hands. Just like he did to stop them from harming themselves.  

"You like to put people through hell right? Put him through it, Queen. I doubt these monster that eat those things known the real pain of having one. And they need to be taught that pain of becoming devil. This other guy though....I don't know anything about him. He could have one though. Devil Fruit users usually hang together, and it isn't weak to prepare for the worse." Due to the distance from Calico and the fountain that rested in the middle of a pond. He made it to that first. He lifted them high in the air so they wouldn't drag on the ground and somehow hurt themselves. And when he arrived to the pond from his quick paced walk he would dip them in. He had kept his eyes focused on Jacqueline. Not allowing the bodies to obscure his vision. They also could be used as shields if need be. As he had no problem letting anyone lose their life. Before he would continue he'd place them gently on the ground. No harm should come from them. Or by anyone. The barrels pointed out by Calico would be used now. Filling up two quickly. And then he would place those two into them. There weren't any holes that caused leaks nor did they push too much of the water out. It would probably uncomfortable to wake up in. Even with the high water they shouldn't drown. Unless the barrel was turned upside down. Once finished he speak again. As her Main target was potentially still laying down on the ground from his attacks. He didn't do anything else to her. He wouldn't do anything else to her. As she brought himself. But if pushed he would. Now or maybe in the future.


And finally there is the Noble Sofia. You sent for her and she arrived. But she brought us. I doubt you wanted that. So, I knocked her out so that you can show her you don't like that. Or you do what you had planned to do. Whatever is to your liking. I did all of this for you. To show you I will help you. But we need to move quickly. And I do not know how long it will be till they awake. So where do you want me to take them? For the time being I am but a...humble. Servant. "

Calico may seem demanding but he praised Jacqueline every chance he got when he spoke. Though she'd have no real reason to attack him or protect anyone from non-lethal blows. Illogical things were done all the time. And they could and would be debated. He felt she wasn't weak. No, he knew she wasn't weak. He offered himself as her partner. Willing and able to do whatever it was she would ask. Shusui rested back in it's sheath right after he attacked. And hopefully would stay sheath. Able to be used again or left alone. If he wasn't able to leave it alone and Jacqueline didn't act like herself at any point he would stand still. There was a great distance between them and he could do a multitude of things before harm would come his way.
