[Why is this Perona's life? Why does she have to be constantly put in harms way when deal with overpowered morons that can't seem to not run headlong into the lion's den? Why is it that she's always in the wrong place at the wrong time? It's not fair...she hates you all...

Rubbing her head, Perona reaches for her poor top hat just as a a piece of shrapnel from Luffy's earlier target lands where her hand was mere seconds ago.]

YAAAAAIIAIAIAIAI!! [S O B.] WILL YOU CUT THAT OUT?!

[At least Perona has the common sense to gather her wits - and her belongings - and literally soar to her feet. While her common sense is screaming to just ollie out and leave these two assholes to it, amid the calamity, Perona knows it's safest near the heavy-hitters. You call, shitty straw hats, Perona's only still here because you make decent meat shields.]

[rubbernecking]

[ NOT INTENTIONALLY.

Unless you mean as a consequence of trying to introduce these technological monstrosities to a whole new world of pain, in which case... okay, yeah, his bad. But he didn't want these guys just running amok where they might actually hurt a member of his crew!

So let him off this once, okay? No one died! ]

Okay..!

[ So there's a barrage of punches almost too fast to see but for the curls of steam sent scattering in its wake, and Luffy throws back one arm to grasp some fixture that will drag the rest of him to within arm's reach of the navigator, while it's her lightning that's keeping the Pacifista at bay.

He puts one arm around her waist like it's the most natural thing in the world to do, the way one rests an umbrella against one's shoulder before setting out into a rainy day. She's important to him and he wouldn't dream of taking off without her in tow. It's Perona he's pausing to look at. ]

Hey. We taking her with us?

[ Your call, Nami. ]

[mikangirl]

[Normally Luffy's sudden rubbery hands on her person tends to lead to tensing, flailing, and screeching as he takes off for parts unknown in the most ridiculous way possible, but today? Hell no. She only reaches up to brace one hand against his shoulder, climatact still swept out with the other.

Man, she just doesn't hate Perona that much. She helped.] We're taking her with us. [Not even joking. If she wasn't casually spitting out a whole bunch of little lightning traps, she might have been sorely tempted, but otherwise priorities.]

[hollower]

[Those two are having a conversation, and Perona's still reeling a little, not quite sure what to make of this development. It's way better that Straw Hat is here - there's no denying he's a great shield to hide behind - but at the same time she has no relationship with him; Perona owes nothing to him and vice versa.

It's only when she comes up in conversation does Perona finally tune in and look away from the remaining Pacifistas. She'd been devising an escape strategy in her head, but her thoughts get shot between her huffs.]

Eh? Hey! Don't treat me like some sad sack you can just carry around and take wherever you go! [A blast from behind makes Perona shriek, clasping her hands over her hat, eyes tightly shut.] Aaah, b-b-but you can take me along if you're escaping!!

[Pls. ;A;]

[rubbernecking]

[ Yeah. Yeah, Nami, he knows at any other time he might have earned her fists drubbing him upside his rubbery head, but this is important, and not even important on the level of chasing after a new and unusual beetle, this is just a level above that one in importance.

It's not that he doubts his ability to take these guys down.

It's that the longer they're here the greater the chances Nami might get hurt, because he can't really watch her back from every possible side, and there's a lot more of them. He immediately rounds on Perona, taking a step forward even as she begins to protest.

The blast drowns out the Shut up!, though it's pretty obvious that's what he said.

Rude.

In any case, there's an arm flung out to coil around her waist, whip-quick, intending on tugging her over to his side, hitch them both up in his arms, and begin running like hell, just picks a direction that isn't 'At the Pacifistas' and makes a break for it.

Along the way: ]

How come you guys were hanging out together?

[mikangirl]

[Just a level above? Rude, Luffy. Nami takes to this sudden running by twisting around until she can flop her elbows over Luffy's shoulder and prop herself up like she's done this way too many times before (spoilers: she has) and flatout ignores Perona being a pissypants, choosing to answer Luffy with just a level below murderous sweetness. Because wow, what a question.]

Oh, you know. Marines, pirates, not mixing. Famous 400 million bounties just lazing around. I sort of tripped over her while I was running screaming for the ship and she won't leave me alone.

[:D

Behind them there's a flare of light as one of the Pacifista gets caught in a lightning trap, followed by a lot of unhealthy metal shrieking noises. Good. Hope it did some damage and not just pissed it off.]

[hollower]

[Were this not a battle scene, and had Luffy not all but yo-yo'd her to his side (cue the indignant yelp from Perona), she would have reminded him with a few of her negative hollows just who he was talking to, but there are more pressing matters to attend to at this very moment. Like setting up a troop of her mini hollows to line the ground where the pacifistas were closing in on them. They act as miniature landmines, blowing off feet the instant they are stepped on and detonated. Not enough to down the things for good, but it makes movement a heck of a lot tougher... Together with Nami's lightning traps, chasing down the trio of pirates is not going to be easy in the least.

Snorting, Perona does much the same as Nami did - twisting around in Luffy's grip to a more comfortable position (she too has been in this situation and position with Zoro a least a handful of times...) and flips the navigator off as she sticks out her tongue. Don't get uppity, pirate woman.]

Eeeeh?! Who won't leave who alone?! You ran like a coward the first chance you got! If you morons didn't get lost in the first place, I wouldn't have to deal with this whole situation! [Enjoy the commentary, Luffy, Perona has a lot to say.]

[rubbernecking]

...I'unno, Nami!

[ There's a particular cast to Luffy's smile now, the sort when he and Usopp are up to mischief, the kind that betrays him immediately whenever there's a kind of deception involved in a prank, but there he is, grinning like a fool. ]

My arm's getting pretty tired! If you keep complaining so much about my crew--

[ He might just be catching the tip of his tongue between his teeth as he grins, chortling while running. ]

--I might drop you!

[mikangirl]

I didn't run like a coward, I ran like a rational human being with common sense!

[OMG woman. And to Luffy she adds:] Oh, go ahead. Just remember if you have to leave someone behind, Perona stands out more anyway. We can use her as a distraction.

[YES SHE IS KIDDING but you bitches, she bitches]

[hollower]

DO THAT AND I'LL HAUNT YOU UNTIL WE MEET EACH OTHER IN HELL, YOU SLIMY--oi, go down that side street there. At the end will be a canal about twenty or thirty feet across, but there's a streetlight you can grab onto and pull us over. From there the amusement park should be a quarter mile dead ahead. I don't think those machines will follow us into civilian areas...

[Hello, hi, welcome to your personal Ghost GPS Service. Perona's hollows are literally scouring the archipelago in droves, each one collecting information and details on their course and present location. Peron already knows precisely where their ship is, and if her concentration doesn't get ruined again, she might be able to find and guide the other lost Straw Hats back on track as well.

Zoro is a lost cause though, just sayin.]
