I'd like to argue that Victoria's exit interruption is void. It has to be done within 24 hours of the exit post. David posted on Friday, September 7th. Victoria "interrupted" today (Sunday, September 9th) at 12:44 AM.

The 24-hour time limit isn't limited to the exit poster. As long as Victoria posts within 24 hours of it becoming her turn, she can exit interrupt anyone within the post cycle, meaning that everyone since Excalibur's latest post can be interrupted even if she's last in the post rotation.

@Excalibur begins this posting cycle.
@Daimaru is required to make an IN CHARACTER post attempting to exit. He has 48 hours to do so before being skipped.

@Bermudo @Taiyo @OtterAiden can all fall in order after Daimaru. @Victoria will round up the last post of the cycle, having 24 hours after it becomes her turn to interrupt any exit posts.

This island was beginning to become a shit fest. So much for having a pirate town as a safe haven. He would let out an exasperated sigh as he moved through the streets. His mind ever present on the here and now. His sandals clapped against the stone as they would go throughout the street. He felt himself be picked up and he let out a startled scream and flailed his arms in protest. he caught sight of what had picked him up it was his good friend Gideon he felt the giant scoop him into his arms and he smirked happily at the easier form of access.

This would be much safer now that the giant had him he would burrow down into the giant's arm for cover making sure he was completely hidden beneath the forearm of the giant. The sheer size of the giant's forearms would dwarf him in size comparison. The giant was quite light on his feet as well he was a bit faster than himself but not by much. He smirked as he would carefully resheath Yuubashiri back in its sheath holding the sword by its scabbard and clinging onto it like a child would a stuffed animal. He just kept repeating to himself quietly "were gonna make it out of this alive all of us!"

He felt a bead of sweat drip down the side of his forehead and he would remain motionless as a bonefish. Gideon was protecting him so diligently. This giant was truly a friend to him after this. he would definitely risk life and limb to help him after he had shown this kindness to him. HIs heartbeat steadily as he looked up towards Gideon and spoke loud enough so that only gideon would hear him " Gideon if we get ambushed just throw me into the sea I can escape that way." He would cough into his right shoulder as the smell of burning wood became ever apparent.

So much needless death would perhaps fall upon this island.  The World government solidifying it's tyrannical and merciless way of dealing with things very apparent. He would Never forgive them for what they were doing to this island there were innocent civilians on here. He found it rather odd though that they decided to attack mock town on only one side of the island though. It made no strategic sense unless... His jaw was agape and he quickly shut it making himself sure he was hidden within the forearm of the giant. he prayed this wasn't a buster call he rather enjoyed mock town.

(Dai attempted exit with gideon)

@Taiyo
@Bermudo
@OtterAiden

All of the aforementioned names will be skipped in this post cycle. From the time of this post, @Victoria has 48 hours to make her post before the post cycle is concluded.

Posting to note the skip next person; i think that's still technically otter.  Could technically be Excalibur, but noting to save confusion at the 96 hour mark.

Actually its sabos turn he never exited if not it wouldnt be excalibers turn anyways since have to skip aiden again so excalibers got till wednesday to post. Btw its dai

Me - Sabo - Otter - - Excalibur - you - Bermudo  and sabo exited i think.

But yeah excalibur still has time.

At first it seemed as if the handful of them were home-free, but the sight of the marine ships sailing into view diminished that thought. Two, no, three ships, sailing across the waters up ahead of them along the horizon, their positioning tells Gideon that they are probably setting up a blockade, but the real question was: Do they see him?

The sound of the firing cannons answered Gideon's question, now the situation has worsen. Regardless, the giant pushed forward, every part of him yelled at him to keep going, because he knew subconsciously he would lose much more than what he had already lost. The island behind him was probably already being swarmed by marines and now there is a blockade before him at the coast, if he allowed himself to be pinned in, then he'll be shackled again, he would have failed his his mission to save his mother, to save Yuurei.

Cannonballs colliding with the ground behind up kicked up heavy amounts of debris, but the giant didn't allow it to slow his pace, he pushed forward. Not only would he be captured, he would be allowing the capture of Daimaru and probably Lebosi simply because of association. "Damn it!" he cursed under his breath. He gritted his teeth as he ran straight ahead, trying to keep the beeline for the shore. Dai was right, if he could get into the water, then at least he would be safe, as for Gideon himself and Legosi, the giant would have to try and figure out something, maybe even board one of the marine ships just to avoid the cannon-fire.

More debris kicked up around him. He looked kept his eyes to the sparks of the ship, the sight of the cannon-fire, they were getting dangerously close, they could either be captured, or die here. An announcement sounded through speakers coming from the ships, demanding for his surrender. Gideon's heart pounded heavily, probably heavier than his footfall, at this point, he felt he couldn't stop, his ears were red, the blood pumping faster and faster as all he could worry about was trying to make it off of this island, he didn't want to go back to shackles, he didn't want to be locked away, he didn't want to lose more people.

A cannonball collided with Gideon, the forced kicked up debris and managed to cover him, the mink, and the fishman for a moment before the giant burst through the debris, holding out Jormungandr, his thirty foot blade, coated in the black hardening, Busoshoku haki. Though the blade blocked the damaging blast, no doubt it retained a good amount of the damage; no matter, Dai and Legosi were safe. Gideon pushed forward.

"Toss Salad!" Gideon cursed as loudly as he could, giving his answer to the marines. Once he reached the sandy shore, he lifted his left arm so he could use his teeth to grab and hang Legosi by the collar of his suit, then with left hand, he grabbed Daimaru and with all his strength, launched the fishman as far as he could towards the middle ship. No doubt Daimaru wouldn't be able to land on the ship, but landing in the water would be better, hopefully Dai already has a plan in mind.

Gideon continued trek forward trying to get to the water before more cannons would blare.

Haki usage: 2/10

well gave you an extra 12 hours, but as i am going have to wait 4-6 days before i'm allowed to post, going have to claim the skip.

Skipping all those who have left the site. If anyone has an issue with that i will i am happy to wait the 6 days.

Claiming hits on Daimaru

Full Claim details:

Condition : If  Dai is willing to make their next post an exit, willing to say cannonball hits his shoulder instead and just causes a fracture [maybe leave a scar]

With the cannonball impacting the skull[or shoulder see condition] of the pirate before him Captain Bernard would Smile as joy filled his body. The cannonball would practically implode the fishmans head[or fracture the arm], as his body was pushed at force into the water, he would almost certainly be dead if not would have suffered major brain damage. “All cannons aim at the giant and prepare to fire” All cannons would now aim at the giant position “If he moves fire”. Over the ship's microphone “Surrender, this is your last chance!” Meanwhile Victoria ship was sailing into mouth bay, one of the marines would spot another vessel on the water quite a vaste distance away from their own in fact it was so far they could barely see them on the horizon though they could tell the vessel had fired and thus the Marine leading the vessel would report to Victoria who in turn would order the information to be relayed to the rear admiral    “Sir, there's a pirate vessel approaching, from the long ring islands and it has fired; Sir, I'd expect that it was a declaration of their intentions to attack” “**** *** ****”[Rear admiral reply].

Victoria, however,  had united with the marines moving south landside and was heading directly for Mock town, debarking of her as they took the last bend before mouth the turning to mouth bay. In town nearly everyone had now been rounded up and marines were beginning to check each individual against bounty posters.

With Daimaru gone from his hand, now only Legosi and Vizmir remained in his custody. Gideon looked down to see that only Vizmir confirmed his thoughts. He quickly looked behind him but didn't see the deerman. "Damn it! I hope he's alright" His concerns were escalating. People around him were in danger and he wasn't sure what to do, he was standing alone, the Phantom Raiders were too split and too small individually and now this faction will be taken out.

"Calm down" Vizmir noticed the stress in Gideon's face as he stood up and got a footing on the giant's forearm. Then he lit a cigarette as if this situation was merely a small setback and not a war simulation, "There's no need to stress since you have very few options."

"A-and what are they?" Gideon was nervous, trying to steel his nerves, but grasping at the calm Vizmir, wanting to know what he suggested, he needed some kind of direction.

"You can't retreat because that would mean certain capture, but the only way out is before you and that is only but a percentage of a chance of escape... which means..." the old man looked out towards the sea, looking pass the ships, including the new ship that just arrived.

"Means that forward is the only course" Gideon, with his look of determination returning to him, tightened his grip on his blade.

"Put me down" Vizmir said. When Gideon was about to interject, he added "The more hands you use, the better of a chance we can escape".

"Alright" Though the two were staring at the threat before them rather than one another, they held the conversation to themselves. Gideon placed Vizmir upon the ground to which the old man just continued to stand there and smoke. The giant then pulled out his white bandana and handed it to Vizmir who then used it as a white flag for his surrender, though he didn't really want to wave the flag, he knew Gideon gave it to him for the reason of avoiding cannon fire.

The marines gave their last warning and Gideon gave them his answer: He dashed forward, running for the shore. At this point, he noticed two additional ships: The Charon off to the side and another ship sailing in from the distance. Seeing the Charon was a sight for sore eyes, but the giant knew if he would run towards it, the marines would simply destroy it without a question, so he needed to do the only thing he could do is move towards the Marine ships and hopefully come up with a plan to turn the tables, but the only thing in mind was to destroy them.

"Ymir, help me" Gideon prayed.
