East Blue.
Buggy the Cown has made the Eastern blue his territory for his attempts of piracy. His loss to the Staw hat wearing rookie pirate was merely a set back in a road that will eventually lead him to the One Piece.
Sadly for Buggy that road has been demolished by a new intruder.
"Please...no more." Buggy pleads.
The Captain of the Buggy pirates has a litter of deep purple bruises, his left eye is swollen shut, blood escaping from the corner of his lips and his breathing is restricted the strong hold of the female pirate.
"You took everything... " Buggy groans, his right eye stares at the wreckage of his island. The circus structures are burning to ash, his crew mates bodies lay dead on spots they once shared songs and rum. Blood smeared on the ground and all his treasure stolen in front of him.
"Not everything, you still have your body intact-hehe." Angelica cackles, a gold canine grazing her tongue.
Bang
"Ughhh–" Buggy groans at the punch to his abdomen.
Angelica has been slowly beating him with armament haki, his crew was no challenge at all for her own.
"Angelica, is this necessary?" Yamato scowls at her Captain's actions.
"Oden would be ashamed of such a victory."
"This is what pirates do Yamato, we steal, kill and have no honour. "
Bang
Splat
Buggy's blood lands on Angelica's boot.
Yamato shakes her head in disapproval, her eyes travel across the destruction of Buggy's territory.
"What else did you expect from a devil?" Ulti chimes in, walking over to Yamato in her hybrid form, the former Tobiroppo glares at Angelica.
"I hate you."
"I know." Angelica snorts, "Where's your brother?"
"He went searching for more treasure. " Ulti grumbles out.
Angelica grins wickedly, "You know, as your captain, you should speak to me with more respect...unless you want your Daddy's soul to end up in Davy Jone's locker?"
"Noo!" Ulti pleads, "You promised to bring him back to life if we joined your crew!" Ulti panics, tears threatening to fall.
"Me and your pops made a deal, I promised not to kill neither of you in exchange for his life." Angelica purrs, "You don't make a deal with a Jinn and expect a happy ending."
"You monster. "
"I've been called worse, honey." Angelica lets go of the clown, walking over to Tia Dalma.
"So... what's the verdict on the escape plan?"
Tia Dalma opens her eyes slowly, an unamused expression plastered on her face.
"Your ambitions fascinate me, Teach."
"How so?"
"You plan to unseal my bindings, releasing my true power onto the World for what exactly?"
"I want to watch the heavens fall down to earth, witness the hopeless scatter of nobles like mice and see if God can bleed."
"You sound just like Jones. " Tia Dalma stares at the Davy clan descendant.
"Is that a good thing ?" Angelica teases.
"Well...in the case of your ancestor, it lead him to the depths of my ocean so thread lightly. " Tia Dalma states.
"In other news, my husband has gotten stronger, he finally returned from the ratchet place above!" Tia Dalma swoons at the idea of reuniting with Ramos.
"Mhmp–mhmphh!" Alvida thrashes in her bindings.
"My~poor gal." Black Maria strokes her cheek, her finger slips down Alvida's slippery skin.
"Such unblemished beauty." Maria praises, involuntarily licking her lips.
"Angelica, we must have her." The giant lady suggested.
"Mhhm?" Alvida stops moving.
"Did you think we were going to kill you?" Angelica giggles, unsheathing her blade, she slashes at Buggy's thigh.
Her sword has no effect on the paramecia user due to his devil fruit but Angelica continues her dicing.
"Yamato, free the lady and get ready to freeze this clown."
"What!?" Buggy panics, trying to move around only results in a harsh punch from Angelica.
"You're not escaping clown, I need you alive so I can have a little chat with your friend, Red-haired Shanks. " Angelica schemes.
"That won't work! Shanks could careless about me." Buggy bluffs out.
"Oh–really?" Angelica hums, pressing her blades edge against his red nose.
"Then let's see if he takes me seriously when I send him your nose."

Queen Anne's Revenge.
Angelica's giant mahogany vessel reaches a length of 150 feet with a beam of roughly 24 feet, heavily armoured 40-gun flagship and the jolly Roger is a human skull grinning with golden canines, wearing a bandana and two cross bones.
Her ships sails the seas with impressive speed, around the deck,Gifters slave away to keep the ship working. Angelica took them from their imprisonment on Wano to work as her subordinates.
Ulti and Page One joined in the hopes of Angelica reincarnating their father.
Black Maria and Sarahebi joined to avoid manual labour and Yamato wishes to adventure beyond Wanoike her idol, Oden.
"Are you positive the poneglyph is near laugh tale?" Angelica questions the sea Goddess's mortal host.
"I am positive. " Tia Dalma smirks.
"Why would the Government leave it there? Especially since a pirate crew is bound to find it one day. "
"The same reason many poneglyphs remain on inhabited islands, you cannot use what you can't understand. Also the temptation of the One Piece will derail any pirate from finding it." Tia Dalma adds.
"Tsk, this is quite the challenge. " Angelica traces her fingers along the map on her wall.
"So Davy Jones and the 20 kings sealed 3/4s of you, leaving just a weak spirit looking for a vessel?."
"That's accurate, Jones's greed got the best of him, once a feared pirate like Joy Boy that chased freedom above all things, ended up a puppet for the World Government and cursing his bloodline to extinction. " She muses.
"How sad." Angelica sighs, no real empathy for her ancestor. "
Tia Dalma's eyes stare into Angelica's,
"I have all the rights to despise your clan, but my intuition tells me that you maybe the key to my freedom. The real question is if you are willing to sacrifice your soul like your forefathers."
Angelica's charcoal eyes didn't blink, her posture straight, a slight twitch of her eyebrow as she responds.
"You already own my soul, Tia. Let us liberate the World."
