Roma was walking down the streets of Lulusia's Kingdom common grounds areas, she was wearing rather simple clothing consisting of a black necklace with a locket attached to it, a white sports bra with black outlining while covering most of her upper body with a red leather jacket with a high collar, she was wearing new black jeans with the right side being cut similar to hot pants while the left side was only slightly cut in certain areas but reached all the way just pass her kneecap, she wore simple black boots while her hair was tied up in a wild styled ponytail kept mostly together by a red hairband.

When she reported into her marine station she had been in regular marine attire but apparently, there had been soldiers waiting for her to tell her a Commodore had specifically chosen her for a task and would like to meet her at the local inn to discuss the details forcing her to go home and change for the occasion as to not arouse public suspicion and avoid the eyes of those against the World government. So here she was at the entrance of the inn after walking for nearly fourteen minutes, she grasped the door with her left hand and swung it open just enough for her to enter as she looked up to observe the area, luckily it was broad daylight and the only people that were in the bar happened to be drunkards that paid no attention to anything other then the drinks in front of them.

Likewise it didn't take her long to spot the sole figure in the bar sitting alone without a drink, Roma made their way over to them and simply sat down before yelling out to the barkeep, "I'll take a glass of water for my friend and an ice tea with Whiskey in it for me!" The barkeep gave a simple thumbs up at the order, Roma looked back at the man sitting in front of her and examined their red hair before shifting her gaze to their eyes directly while whispering to them, "Ensign Roma Velts reporting, you're quite bold for picking the local inn to talk about "business affairs"" Roma stated.

Just as she finished the man in front of her or what she should be saying is Commodore extended his right hand to greet her, Roma reached out with her right as well shaking it before he began to speak announcing himself he already knew who she was as he read her file and was quite interested, he told her that she could just call him Magnus for the meantime which she nodded her head to as it was a lot safer for them.

The squeaky sounds of the wooden floorboards yielded as the hefty barkeep came over with their drinks placing it in front of them, "Thanks Reggie, looking good!" Roma said to the barkeep who she had come to know through her stay in the Kingdom, "Thanks Roma, always a beautiful sight to see you in my bar!" Reggie exclaimed as he went about his business. Roma was brought back when Magus continued to speak stating that they would have to keep volume to a minimum as what he was about to say shouldn't be heard by many, following on that note Magnus leaned over the table and began whispering that the reason he requested her was that there was a devil fruit he wanted somewhere in Lulusia and that he needed her certain expertise for the job at hand.

He also stated there would be another but at a later date, as if to sweeten the deal he even stated he would put a good word for her in his report towards her promotion towards Captain rank. Roma whispered back, "Well then, it seems we have our work count out for us Magnus. I don't suppose you have any leads on where you're...treasure could be?" If Magnus answered no as it seemed he hadn't been in Lulusia that long then she would continue, "That's too bad, luckily for you I been here for a couple of weeks and have gained a few trustworthy informants that may be able to help us, shall we go pay them a visit?"

After giving Magnus the run throw of what they could currently do to get to his goal he took a few minutes before answering stating that she was quite resourceful and that her guess was right about him not knowing much of anything other than what he wanted was in the kingdom and that if she had any possible leads for them to follow then he would follow her judgment, after turning towards the barkeep after getting up he looked back at her stating he would be waiting outside for her when she was ready to go.

After Magnus left the Inn to go outside Roma walked over to the barkeep who had just served a customer and pulled him to the side, although she was resourceful everyone had a limit unless you offered them something that they needed in return, unfortunately for the barkeep she had actually been keeping tabs on his Inn and knew it was a couple of hundred beli late for rent and it was going to be shut down soon. "Hey Reggie listens, I need you to keep an eye out for any information you hear on your bar about a rather special fruit, can you do that for me?" Roma said as she slipped one million beli into his pocket in exchange for his future information, Reggie's eyes widened, "I think I can do that for you." Roma patted his back before leaving.

Roma opened the bar and saw that Magnus was standing there, she walked up to him, "Let's go, the barkeep will be keeping an eye out for the fruit your looking for but don't worry, I made him an offer he can't refuse." Roma said casually as she started to head right down the alleyway, she didn't bother to ask any questions of her own trying to respect the chain of command as much as she could as she took three lefts, one right leading them to a black door slightly burned as if it was set on fire, Roma stepped up to it giving several knocks with one being on the far right and three in the center and two in the far left before it opened up, she looked back at Magnus and gestured for him to walk in and once he did so she would enter.

However, once they entered two little girls, a slightly older girl, and a teenage boy and a full grown man and women pointed a gun all at Magnus only for Roma to speak up when she walked in front of the gun aims, "Don't worry he is a friend, stands for what I stand for." Roma said without directing telling the group their marines, she then looked back at Magnus explaining their relationship, "I helped this family when a group of lowly pirates started going crazy and burning doors down to smoke out families to plunder them in the dead of night." Roma turned towards the grown man in the group, "Taz my friend, me and acquaintance are looking for information pertaining to a fruit, I thought with your job at your shop you might know something."

Taz visibly had sweat dripping as he turned to the older women which were his wife before she spoke, "Come on kids, let's go prepare supper." All the kids pointed their guns down as they began to follow the women deeper into the structure while Taz leads Roma and Magnus down a hall to where a table, where he put his gun against the wall with the safety lock on before taking a seat, "Yeah I know something about it... A few weeks ago a group of three men came into my shop, they didn't say who they were but the symbols on their clothes explained that they were the  revolutionary army and I expected they came to protect my shop but they asked me about the same fruit you are now and left the address they were staying at, but after a few days they got incredibly violent asking more and more questions and even threatened my family but then one day they just stopped coming, I assume they found what they were looking for."

"Do you still have their address?" Roma asked Taz, he than turned around where a stack of papers were gathered and looked through it before pulling out a piece of crumbled paper and give it to Roma,  where she unraveled it and looked at the address that was a warehouse about two blocks away and then passed it to Magnus to look at, "Do you think there dangerous..?" Taz asked somewhat fearful, "I don't know my friend, but if they are they won't survive another day in the Lulusia Kingdom." Roma said while smiling before getting up, "Thank you for the help, my acquaintance and I will be leaving now." Roma said while bowing and exiting the building."

Roma waited for Magnus to come out after he gave Taz a farewell and telling him don't hesitate to call him if something happens, once they were both outside Roma would begin walking while talking, "It seems this is much bigger then just finding you're fruit if the revolutionaries are looking for it, Taz gave me the address of where their located and it seems they have made an old abandoned warehouse their place of work, quite honestly it's a smart move since hardly anyone frequents that area anymore because of the events that took place in it many years's ago making it nearly isolated from the rest of Lulusia Kingdom." Roma stated as she took a right turn onto the main street and kept walking, "I don't know how well you been trained but if they happened to be there then I as a marine must take action and apprehend them by force, I take it that they won't go willingly either and hope I can count on your support."

After several minutes of walking, Roma and Magnus made it to the old warehouse Taz spoke of, "This is the place. We don't know how many are in there or if they still are in there so best to proceed with caution." After saying that Roma began moving from her location to the side of the warehouse as she began to crouch as she came up next to the windows of the warehouse that have had their glasses completely shattered, she urged Magnus to follow her but remain silent as she kept moving forward, after several seconds of silence Roma didn't hear a thing and peeked inside where she didn't see anything or anyone.

"We're going in." Roma muttered as she hopped through the non-existent window into the inside of the warehouse, once Magnus was in she would stop him from proceeding any further as she pointed her right index finger on the ground, although there wasn't anybody the part of the building where they were it seems the men who had been there at one point had been quite sloppy as the floor was covered in dust that revealed multiple footprints leading deeper into the building, Roma proceeded cautiously while following the footsteps deeper into the building where she finally found the door and leaned her head out of it to find that there were two figures holding rifles that were facing the direction of the main entrance to the warehouse.

Roma stopped peeking around the door and looked at Magnus while giving hand signals hoping he would understand, with her right hand she made the number two and pointed outside of the hallway, she then used her left hand as she made two fingers walk on top of them before making a chocking like motion. The plan if she had been able to speak freely was that she wanted her and Magnus to walk up to them quietly and then choke them out before they could alert anyone else if there more of their presence.

It seems Magnus received the message clearly as when Roma moved silently towards the guy on the right wrapping her right forearm tightly against their neck connecting with her left arm as she flexed her muscles and kept a tight grip, the male she was now attempting to put to sleep gave a bit of a struggle before they quickly started losing exhaustion, they tried to release the gun from their body to drop it to make noise but the security strap that assured they couldn't lose it easily was now a huge disadvantage. It took several seconds but the man finally went to sleep, she then looked over at Magnus who's man had already dropped to the floor and he was changing but as he did so he notified her that despite the earlier information that these soldiers were not revolutionary soldiers and were probably unskilled which would explain the amount of sloppiness Roma has seen thus far, but that begged the question that why would a group of civilians or otherwise go as far as to impersonate Revolutionary soldiers as they were more wanted then the average pirate.  

Either way, Roma simply put the impersonating revolutionary officers clothing over her own, she then searched their body and found that they carried an army knife and put it in her pocket before carrying the gun, she didn't equip the strap as after seeing how it could be a disadvantage the idea was less then enticing now. "We're going in but proceed with caution, we still don't know how many are in here," Roma whispered to Magnus as she began walking deeper into the interior of the warehouse, they then began passing by multiple rooms until Roma spotted tracks and alerted Magnus to follow them with her, those same tracks lead them to a staircase that was leading downwards where Roma could hear the faint voices of someone speaking causing her to turn to Magnus for a moment before starting to walk down the steps herself.

As she started walking further down the path the voice only got louder and louder until the words were finally clear enough for her and Magnus to listen to, "Did you receive the treasure that the boss is looking for?" a distinctly female voice ringed out, "Yeah we found it, it was in the enemy pirate territory and it cost us quite a few of our own man, we secured it somewhere else and it's getting ready for transport to our main hideout in Greenie pass." A male responded back only for the female to answer with a groan before speaking, "Good, we can move out when the boss gives the order otherwise we stay here and do whatever he needs us to do. How many of us are left" The man answered back simply "There's about fourteen of us left."

Roma who had paused for quite a bit looked at Magnus just in case he didn't hear any of the information, "They found your fruit but are transporting it to a hideout in Greenie Pass to their boss, they didn't say the hideout location so we're going to need to take out the majority of them and leave two alive to interrogate for information, there's about fourteen of them down their so we're going to need to watch each's others back. Earlier you said you're a little rusty so I'll go in first to thin the herd." while loading her gun up.

Roma began to walk down the rest of the steps leaving Magnus behind to watch her back, she walked casually to the room the voices were coming from where she finally turned the door, the main female voice looked up at her and spoke, "I thought I told you n!?!"Where all the women got out before Roma rose the gun into the air and let a round fire right into her body and quickly moved it towards a male that took to long to notice and another man who was just about to take out his weapon before she moved back into the cover provided by the wall as she got low.

Usually she wouldn't have killed the women as she seemed to know the most but in this particular case she could just hear the loyality in her voice and she knew she would rather die than let someone who killed her man know anything, that and killing her first would break the rest's spirits making it all the more easier to interrogate the last two standing. She could hear the potential men in the rest of the room move around as they used the objects in the room to protect themselves, what Roma didn't know was that only ten of the fourteen men were in that room and upon hearing the gunshots of Roma killing their fellow men the remaining four came from a room right next to the staircase Magnus was standing on still if he hadn't moved, while Roma was focused on the remaining seven in the room.

Roma hid behind the wall as the remaining man in the room shot bullets at her in an attempt to get her, luckily the walls had been thick enough for the gunshots to have not made it through, Roma took out the army knife she had received not long before this and slid it just enough into the doorway so that the metal reflected the reflection of the room so she could see the positions in the man in it, she couldn't see all of them but what she could see was that there was three man to the center all aiming at the door, two men hiding behind a large wooden desk, one man at the far right also aiming at the door ready to shoot at her the moment she showed her face.

She also noticed that above the three men was a chandelier hanging by a small chain, but that site was quickly interrupted by Magnus who had gotten swept up within his own battle as it seemed that the fourteen men mentioned earlier weren't all together, she would thank him for that latter but as she watched him snap a mans neck she had an idea. She moved towards the dead mans body and hoisted his body up against the wall, she then swung the gun strap over his body and used her right hand to secure it which would keep the man dragging but on his feet in front of her while she still had free range with her gun, although Roma wasn't a marksmen level shooter she could still hit things just by aiming in their general direction granted that she was close enough.

Now secured Roma hid her tiny figure behind the dead mans larger body as she moved out towards the room, the moment she let the face of the dead man through a mass array of the people's insides weapon started firing at her only for the guys body to absorb them, since the hand the gun was holding was free she immediately shot the one to the far right in the head because if she moved any closer he would have all but free range to hit her, she then redirected the gun above her shooting several shots at the small chain of the chandelier before it finally broke falling onto of the three-man temporary disabling them as they let go of their weapons only to be separated further from them by the chandelier, the last two men had wasted all their ammo and went back behind the table to reload while Roma let the already dead and now shot up soldier go as it dropped back to the floor so that she could roll forward behind the table, with only the thin table in the way roma began to unload the rest of her clips bullets into the right side of the table shooting the man that was hiding on the other side, when his partner tried to shoot at her by aiming his gun over the table Roma simply grabbed the end while letting go of her own gun to take the army knife from earlier out to stab their hand as she tugged the gun forward causing them to release their grip as she took their loaded gun and shot them in the head.

Roma gasped heavily as that was quite a bit of action for her but she wasn't finished yet at the three trapped under the chandelier started to recover but were trapped under the room decoration, she walked over to them looking down onto them, "We're nev-" Roma had no time to hear him talk and immediately aimed the loaded gun at his head and let a bullet fly killing him and quickly moving onto the guy next to him only leaving one survivor of the original ten alive. The last one was shivering, he was scared to death, good Roma could use that, She used her superior strength to lift the chandelier, "Get out" She muttered and the man crawled away from the chandelier like a warm and tried to get up quickly only for Roma to quickly aim the gun at his head, "Slowly" was all she said but the guy got the picture as she motioned the gun towards the outside of the room as he stood on his feet.

When she was reunited with Magnus the four original men were now only one as Magnus held the gun to his head telling him to decide, Roma waited a few seconds to see if the guy would give the information but it was clear he wasn't so instead Roma did the honors by shooting the guy in the head leaving only the man she had just recently rescued left, she then made a hand weave at Magnus as if to tell him to lower his weapon as she sat down on the floor next to the last man, "Well, as someone who used to be a butler I hate messes and violence as I prefer to be civilized, and this my friend is one big mess that I rather not add you to the list of. As you already saw both me and my friend here will not hesitate to do so if you provoke us, so I'm going to have to ask you to stay quiet while my friend here calls HQ to report this mess then after all three of us can have a nice chat." She then turned to Magnus " report this news and location to I headquarters, I'll keep and eye on him."
