*Louis Garrick grunted and sweated thick amounts of perspiration. Thrust after thrust, swipe after swipe against the flame logia. But Azar simply dodged and weaved out of the way with incredible ease, it was like dodging swats from someone fresh after running to exhaustion. Even the swipes that did manage to hit him were allowed to, and harmlessly passed through the intangible fiery body of Azar, his body Reflexively turning to elemental at the risk of impact.*

"You may be able to stall my brother. But I'm a whole 'nother ball game. Don't you know that it's gonna take more than that to touch me? You're wasting your time!" *Azar snickered as Garrick gave a running dash spear to the side, only for Azar to burst into Flames and forming a hole for the Marine Captain to pass through him* "Waste of time, huh? Maybe I'm just bidding my time for backup!"

*He skid to a stop, and spun around tossing his spear to the side where it disappeared in a haze of Gold, only for his hand to shoot up! A Blonde haired woman in a cap tossing him a weapon to catch! It was a large, brown and silver with a pale blue silver spear head that was nearly a foot long.*

"You're referring to Sea Stone aren't you? The Stone imbued with the same power of the Sea to nullify a Fruit Users body or powers..." *He spun the spear around and slammed it into the ground dramatically before kicking its end with his boot spinning again, but this time into ready position*

"Heheh..." *Azar began with a sly snicker.* "Sure. I can play with you all for a little longer. Try and keep up!" *Azar put his hands up in a loose boxing stance, hopping from leg to leg. It was incredibly similar to the way Leroy fought, but much tighter.*

*All at once! All of the Marines rushed in! Swords raised, pistols drawn, and Rifles aimed! Adeline among them! Two dual si's at the ready and gripped like knuckle dusters, and running up to the Second Division Commander!* "Like hell I'd let a notorious pirates underling get out of our grasps!"

"You'll actually have to land a hit on me first!" *He ducked under a man with a sword and slammed a fiery fist into his chest! Sending him flying up! His fist wasn't coated in flames, but was made of flames, but acted like a physical object like Azar had 'Tensed' the fire. He then swept the leg of another man only to have moved on to the next by the time he landed, then having a blast of fire slamming into his face from a not looking Azar!*

*The Flame Logia user then leapt backwards to dodge the assault of si slashes and punches from Adeline, where he then preceded to land one handed on the man he'd just shot and sending a kick out! His foot spewing a jet of flames into the woman! The kinetic energy super naturally bestowed upon it sending her flying backwards and quickly spinning back to his feet where he reengaged Garrick!*

*The Fight wouldn't last much longer. But it was his duty to stall them for his brother!*

Leroys voice continued where he last left off. On if His brother was as reckless as he was

"Who knows! It's been like..." He thought for a moment on just how long it'd been since he last saw his brother "Like three years?! He left the island before me! We both made a pact to leave the island to become pirates when we turned 19!" He said confidently. Images flashed in his mind of him and Azar as children. How they used to rough house constantly. Both of them had the biggest of smiles on their faces as they did so. Running through the forest of Mount Colubo. Having Mamtha smoke those huge long pipes outside as she watched the two of them get into either arguments or long drawn-out talks about something childish.

Stolen story; please report.

"19?" Jeanne said aloud "That must mean he's what? 23?" She said as she looked around nervously making sure no Marines were around any corner "Yeah! Azar was always the oldest."

Kale couldn't help but smile at the mention of Leroy's brother. The two of them making a pact to become pirates reminded him of the promise Kale made with his old friend when they were kids. It was certainly something Kale could respect. "A fire devil fruit, that's certainly something. I thought your fruit was weird..." Kale had obviously heard of devil fruits before, but a fire fruit certainly sounded wild. Made him wonder what other kinds of fruit exist on the Grand Line.

“That was your brother back there?” Dezzi was rather interested in hearing more about Leroy's brother “How many other siblings do you have?” this was now a very important question, at least in their mind it was

"Oh uh. One other but shes not around anymore!" He said looking away from a second before continuing to run.

"Not around?" Said Jeanne as the group began to slow down to a walk. Looking around "Yeah, Long story! But it's fine now!" Leroy said with a grin of reassurance The group had taken many twists and turns through the winding city known as Serket. Heavy sounds of the air being heated incredibly quickly reverberated as the crew made their way away from Azar. The occasional fireball could be seen careening and soaring through the air could be seen on the Horizon.

Suddenly, A man appeared in front of the group. Running at full speed before coming to a stop in front of them. Huffing and puffing with sweat dripping down their face. They looked to be an older man, fully greyed out silver hair slicked back, a small monocle in one of their eyes with a golden chain hanging down and slipping away into the collar of the pinstripe undershirt. The man wore a deep black Tailored tailcoat. The flaps v'd off. The man looked like the spitting image of a old-time butler. Down to the shined shoes, and white stitched gloves.

Between his huffs he looked up and adjusted his combover. "You...You all are the Red Sash Pirates correct?"

Leroy had a strange look on his face. Thinking and mulling it over for a second. He then looked between everybody. His fellow Red Sash pirates. The name had a Nice ring to it. A small smile crept across the captain's lips as he hooked a thumb into the Sash the moniker of his crew was named for.

Jeanne had a strange look as she looked over the butler. But the sudden naming of the crew made her think and come to the realization that they didn't actually have a proper name. Sure the Jolly Roger she made reflected the name. He never said that was their name publicly. Maybe the papers had adopted the name? After the storm just a day prior. Jeanne and Kirk didn't get the chance to read the news as they always did. Leroy looked back and spoke "That does got a nice ring to it."

"Really paints the picture." Said Jeanne

"Oh thank goodness." Said the butler man as he let out a relieved sigh "I had thought I'd seen Your face in the papers before. But that fight in the food square nearly scared me out of my britches!" He said with a huffed chuckle "And it confirmed that you were who I thought...But I couldn't stick around in case I was caught in the crossfire." "Okay yeah, well what do you want?" Leroy said curtly "Ah yes. I am Geeve." He said giving a slight bow, putting his hand on his well-tailored chest

"And I am Requesting your appearance with the King of Arabasta..."
