Each time he spoke it hurt the ears of Hannibal. He didn't know where this Pirate was from, but he wanted to find out. Only for the soul purpose of avoiding ever being deployed there or going there for whatever reason. Part of his disliking of this Man was due in part to him being a Pirate, as that already placed a negative mark on his character. As there was no reason to turn to such a lifestyle, no matter what has happened to you. And as he spoke Von said nothing, probably waiting for a response to her earlier question. The amount of time that had passed wasn't that much, not even four minutes, so Hannibal could respond to her still. And he would.

"First, what information do you have on the Warlord Melissa? I am the highest ranking Officer currently within the area. If the crime is sufficient enough, I will arrest her myself.  Can I grant a pardon for you? That depends on your own crimes." Hannibal didn't want to mince his words. In unison of his steps came what he said, his third eye open and glaring forward. He wasn't worried about the Pirate behind him, as he could deal with him at any time. She, however, was familiar but someone that he'd have to speak with longer to truly understand where he knew her from. The amount of distance had already been established earlier, but with his walking, it would decrease by twenty-five percent. He was stuck on any motion she would make and wasn't bothered with the ghost that traveled across the icy surface. The icy mist that concealed its movements. Having it travel across the ice actually was a good idea, as the cover made it near impossible to notice. But, the execution of whatever the Pirate was going to do hadn't happened yet. So gauging if it truly was a good move wasn't possible.

'If I attack her now, I would be in the wrong. Though it is confirmed that everyone on this Island....well around it. Are not with the Marines, that doesn't mean she can't be a civilian. No, if she wants to be pardoned of crimes she has to be. But, she could have gotten mixed up into a mess. Damn. I am thinking too much about this..... as Birdal said. I need to be ruthless when it comes to my Justice. ' Hannibal mentally combated himself as he was prepared to attack as he spoke. But, something in his mind told him to stop. The conflicting mind of a Marine 'Hero'.

It seemed that talking to him was just to buy time since there would be no response and other things that would follow. On top of everything, Hannibal was being disrespected by a Pirate that could've very well been killed, testing the Marines patience. Being accused of being a double agent was something that he didn't take lightly. And then parading his so-called protection around was disgusting; this pirate will find out today that he should never have said what he did. Right now, however, the focus would be on Von and the second introduction of someone. He'd hear the Man before he'd see him, just like with Von. It, however, didn't sound like a vessel but something else he wasn't familiar with. So he wouldn't be able to discern what location that they would be coming from. Nor make a guess. That wouldn't be needed as Von would go over to the spot the newcomer would arrive at.

'Disgusting. Criminals are coming out of wood-work, and are getting too full of themselves.' Hannibal without any more hesitation would go on the full offensive. And with there not being any REAL allies around him he wouldn't hold back his abilities in any way. "If I killed your Father, he deserved it. Scum like him breeds scum like you. So come quietly, or die like a dog. Like your Father." Hannibal didn't usually talk harshly to those he fought, but he wasn't in the mood. His switch had been hit and a oceanic wrath swelled within him. His words would come directly after his attack would be unleashed. He let the Man speak but if he knew about his capabilities with Haki he would've attacked sooner.

Even with the newcomer's arrival, the distance between Hannibal and Von had only increased a meter. With her already being on land she didn't need or have to move that far at all. Her attention would be taken away from them. This was something only a few people could do. Hannibal did it to the Man behind him because of the gap in overall skill. He didn't see himself as the strongest but he wasn't someone that should be treated like that. The other reasons someone might do this is because they are careless. Hannibal didn't know which was what nor cared. His attack would rush across the ground without any remorse. The amount of distance combined with the altered terrain increased the overall potential of his attack. The invisible wave would only be noticed from the terrain it interacted with turning to ice. And with most of what was before him already ice, there would be a noticeable change to the ground. His attempt to ensnare Von would be placed first on his list, his attack coming before he spoke. Jalin regardless of being in the air or already landed wouldn't be the target of the wave, no ill-intent directed at him at this moment. Hannibal didn't plan to move from his spot, as they'd have to come out here to fight him.

Though the attack was slow it had a trick to it. Traveling across the ground only alerted those to it being used, but it didn't stop there. It reached for EVERYTHING with the path of the wave. And with the water having already being frozen prior to the encounter it didn't have to just travel across the ground. So, her leap upward only aided in her capture. The ice should've nipped away at her body, hindering her speed, and allowing the grab to go through even more seamlessly. Jalin, however, was safe his attack from his dial, an object Hannibal knew nothing about, would be enough to save him from an icy casing. The ball of fire didn't go toward Hannibal however, rather after decreasing in size from reacting to cooling wave it went toward the ghost created by Ghost boy.

His Ghost had already been in the position so whatever the blast radius was Von had to be within it initially. Her jump upward might've gotten her out of range, but the ghost would explode. Due to it having to be touched or something commanding it the wave, though transparent, would "touch" the ghost. And trigger its explosion. There was enough time for anyone to notice the Ghost before it exploded since it had to get on land to get within range. So, the assumption will be that this was the Ghost attacked. Attacked whilst it was already within the process of expanding and exploding. The range of Hannibal's cooling wave was enough to stretch up to Jalin, even if he wasn't a target, even after reacting with the ghost. But, with how quickly and effortlessly Jalin attacked all three attacks seemed to collide with each other at the epitome of their potential. The three-way clash would end with the flames being the victory. Through his power and combined speed, it couldn't possibly keep that up after the clash. Even with the others not being as strong or fast compared to it. But its potential to do its peak damage was lost. Hannibal now could make it out better with his perception. But, his main focus was on Ghost Boy. He was dangerous now that Hannibal found out he had the ability to create explosions with his ghosts, detonating them by just snapping. With the smoke kicked up from the explosion and the still large fireball seeing what would transpire by the other three was a bit impossible, if you add in the fact they are in their own known conflict. As the newcomer had Jalin's sister in his burning clutches.


Hannibal had seen Ghost Boy run somewhat in front of him, to get closer to now trio. He traveled somewhat quickly, as much as you'd expect when running across the ice. The distance he created being half of the distance that he had between Von. And when he let his other two ghost go they began to expand and then explode. They were used to clash with the fire. Rather they targeted the ice making it break and send a torrent of water upward. And that is when he would freeze it, creating a wall of ice between him and the fire. Thinking about himself over this Pirate. Not allowing it to be used in any other fashion. This would also prevent it from turning into a wave, rather it stood straight up. And from how immediate it came the wave had the potential to also grasp onto Ghost Boy before he sent forth his final ghost. The wall of ice was just a byproduct of the sea water coming into contact with the coolness. As the attack traveled. Colliding with the flames for a round two. Though this time the coolness was fresh whilst the flames weren't. And either a stalemate or the ice coming out as the victory was the thought process of Hannibal. Hannibal would take his defense another step further as he turned intangible whilst his attack was used. Only him to keep his balance by freezing what was under him and a layer of protection from anything that came his way.

If the attack was successful handled Hannibal's actions following that wouldn't differ that much. If Ghost Boy survived to be in the middle of the clash and said what he said Hannibal would react later to that. As his words toward the Man that spoke to him wouldn't change. Currently, my rank does not give me the authority to help in that endeavor. But, my reputation within the Marines and the World Government will be used to the full extent to help with your request. Hannibal may be low in rank but unlike most, he was famous, mentioned in news coo and even defeated a Revolunairy General. And though he didn't like Pirates having the chance to use one that showed a power ability was always on the table. Keep her restrained, but do not kill her. Also, I will need him to remove all articles of clothing and toss into that crack, so that they float into the sea. Hannibal would point at Jalin. He trusted the Pirate could get the Man to do this. Hannibal would bring him back a more fitting uniform. And it was also done to ensure he didn't try anything rash like Patron did when he was going to be caught. Someone blowing themselves up again wasn't something Hannibal wanted to see.

I must return to my ship, in order to call for reinforcements. My vessel isn't enough to transport them, nor do I have the funds for whatever the bounty is on Von. I also need a special team to assist me in recovering that object you mentioned. I will explain the situation as you belong to the Warlord, Melissa. To ensure you don't get captured at this moment. They will bring the payment and once you help place them onto the ship you will get it. Though, I will be taking a reasonable portion(half) for myself due to having to call this in and the trouble I had to go through.

Hannibal gave his offer to satisfy the other party. He didn't mention Ghost Boy, because he was going to be given something else later. If allowed without any attempts on his person he would walk to his ship that was still stationed seventy meters away. Walking across the waters with his icy feet. Freezing large portions as he took a step. He and the other things he promised would arrive back together soon.

Where had Melissa been during this commotion, why had she not followed the man? A simple reasoning, she was hunting for the Polyglyph back at the Revs camp, though it now lay in tatters and in flames from the magma man's assault. This base was not very well positioned. Yes it was hidden, but it offered no defense, no layout, no proper reasoning for it to being here....except "The Ponyglyph" Now like the previous glyph Melissa had garnered its location was somewhere underground, but try and try as she might, Melissa was unable to garner its full location. She had hoped that while the magma magma no mi user kept Jalin occupied, she would have plenty of time to scower the area, and indeed this is exactly how it went down, the only issue......she couldn't find an entrance in the destruction. "Mother fucker" The Yuki Yuki No Mi user uttered as snow danced from the sky itself, vast amounts melting into the flame quelling them with ease. After about twenty minutes. Melissa would sigh, shaking her head. "NYEEEEEEHHH, THIS, ISN'T WORKING" She screeched into the sky. "DAMN DAMN, I'M GOING TO NEED TO GET THE INFORMATION FROM THOSE BASTARDS" she screeched, stamping her feet.

A further twenty minutes, and Melissa would head towards the location of the battlefield....only to meet those escorting the duo. "OOOOOH YAAAAAAAAS" Melissa said as she touched down. Naturally the marines coward, the dog of the marines dropped upon the ground. "OOOH did y'all get beat" She said her hands curling around one another as she ran across the shore until she too got to the marine ship. She had not seen her crew mate in some time either but hey, thats just what happens. Melissa would land upon the boat along with the prisoners, though she would decline any offer of beli, having not really participated in their capture in the end, she felt that taking any money would be rude, plus she didn't care about the money. "I'll be interrogating this one" Melissa said pointing towards Jalin. "We need to get some information out of him. I'v been tasked to find out some information thats not for your icky little ears" Melissa said teasing the commadore, he grimaced due to the fact that she was essentially his superior. "Sorry for abandoning ya Magma boy, a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do" Melissa said winking as she escorted Jalin to his prison cell for interrogation.

If anyone came on to the ship for the next hour, they would only hear screams coming from his cell.
