Mizutamari held his gaze on the ship for a moment more before following behind Osuteno. Now with some space between him and the dread pirate, the manatee was able to compose himself enough to hold the bottles and speak. "T-they've got'em don'tcha know. I thought I was the only one they caught...but now that I'm not on dat der ship, I can feel it in my gut. Can you feel it, eh? I can't explain it, but somethin' sinister is goin' on, don'tcha know." He looked back to the ship, his eyes gleaming with fear and determination.
Meanwhile, Rosalita scoffed lightly at Tama. "Listen lassie, even the wee most bishie can slit yer throat." She looked to young Osuteno as she said this. "And just the same as yer baby bunny has the potential ta maim and destroy better than an army o' sharks, other cuddly sea vermin can be just as deadly...when they be used appropriately." She shook her head before continuing. "Ah, but me words are wasted. Ye be a lass o' righteousness, it be plain on ya." Rosalita's body stiffed a bit as she fiddled with her hilt. "Just know this, the seas be their own country. Every country be wantin' to enforce their laws, but can't 'cause they be too worried about steppin' on toes. Thus, we live a lawless live, and the eyes o' justice be distant from me business, and those of others." She smirked. "But maybe, just maybe, hidden away in the land you thought safe, be a deadly viper in yer nest who plots yer destruction."
It happened in an instant, and if not for Tama's keen eye, she would have missed it. Rosalita's hand went for her blade, moving at a speed even a shinobi would consider inhuman. The slash was aimed straight for Tama's stomach. As this happened two of the men on the enemy ship jumped onboard. A man with blonde hair, black eye patch, and a red jacket gave a toothy grin. He was still for a moment, seeming to concentrate before motioning for his red parrot to take flight. The bird circled high over Osuteno before letting loose a squirt of white from its rump. The other man, also wearing an eye patch but with blue hair, let his black jacket fall off his body. Two extra arms unwrapped themselves from his torso before he equipped himself with four sabers. He held them outward and approached Osuteno slowly, watching the boy for any sudden movements. Mizutamari shook as he pointed his small dagger at the creepy man.
