What a delicious meal! The Baratie was definitely not overrated in terms of the quality of their food! Perhaps, they could have used a few new additions to the wait staff, but other than that, she'd had a fine meal. The others seems to still be plowing through their dishes, though in their defense they'd all had meat in their entrees. Reinaka slide her lap napkin onto the plate and leaned back in her chair, satisfied with one of the best salad and tofu dishes she'd never had the pleasure of enjoying.

The restaurant was in full swing still, the hustling and bustling of servers running here and there, the chit-chatter of tables all across the expansive floor space. It was warm, people were merry and happiness was abound. It really didn't get better than this. She looked back at her friends and smiled as they scoffed down food, laughing at this and that, arguing over this piece of bread or that dish of butter. Honestly, boys were quite disgusting when it came to dinner time but if it was going to be this lively, well, she looked forward to the many adventures they'd be having.

Suddenly the doors of the restaurant flew open with a smack on either side of the wall. The sound made the girl jump in her seat, turning to figure out who'd caused the all teh ruckus. The merry sounds of conversation seemed to hush to a delicate whisper now as a crowd of men and woman came bum-rushing into the building, demanding to be seated immediately. Ugh, idiots. There was no way they were gonna be eating anytime soon with no reservation and this kind of dinner crowd.

The hostess seemed to try and explain this much it seemed, but the guy just didn't seem to be getting. All service seemed to halt as though waiting for order to be resumed before they continued. Hmm. Was this going to affect her dessert? "Ugh. Pirates.... Uh, no offense."

Rei aka sat in her chair, crossing her legs and folders her arms across her chest. What ridiculousness! To attack a restaurant filled with delicious foods and hardworking staff who wanted nothing more than to serve you overpriced cuisine seemed poor in taste to say the least. Still, scurmishes likes these ones usually fizzled out relatively quickly so she didn't really bother to pay much attention at all. Some foolhearty, well meaning patron with a soft spot for justice and a moral-centered sense of duty would stand up and draw the Pirates attention do doubt.

Sigh. "Please don't tell that...that's....us."

A shadow hung over the Pirate Captain's head as she sat there, Tai flying past her to divert an oncoming attacker and Lee launching himself on to the table, halting a bladed weapon in mid-strike. Son of a bitch. Owen, too, had risen to his feet and shouted for her consent. Is that how it went now? If she could have, she'd have led them right out of that place. But you see... when you attacked her friends, well, you've sorta left a girl no options.

A look came over her generally warm, inquisitive eyes that spelt nothing but coldness and indifference. She stood out of her seat, taking account of the pirate to either side of her and one fast approaching. A spiral she spun on her heel and launching a foot outward, just in time to tap the chest of the pirate. The man looked dumbfounded, having expected the air to be kicked out of him. A few seconds of relief were then shattered the feeling that something was wrong. His arms dropped to his sides and he fell to his knees.

"Don't you touch my friends."

A scream tore from his mouth and alerted the other grunts that something we going array. The group came rushing at them.

"Pirates... are so... troublesome."

Technique Used:

Reinaka's foot smashed into the man's face that lay on the floor before her, frozen due to the chi blocking technique. The game was set and the Featherweights had been called out. Reinaka hated big brawls, they were so exhaustive and usually nothing ever came of them. Sure, she liked a nice spar as much as the next girl, but right after dinner? Ugh. This was going to do numbers on her stomach later. Why was she attracting so much more attention these days. She used to wander through the world without a care or a cause to call her own. No one bothered her and she bothered nobody herself. Life was simpler. A little more boring, sure, but simpler nonetheless.

She wized her way through one, two, three pirates to the back of the group where she confronted two. The seemed surprised by her sudden appearance, but resigned their fears as she was just a teenage girl after all. Reinaka smiled as they both went to punch her and clutched her arms around herself. The two men paused, watching the girl ball up and cower. Luckily, they were a vicious and rude as she thought they'd be. They continued their punch only to find some growing force stopping them from reaching her. Suddenly they were pushed back, flying through the air with enough force to break through one couple's table and another through impacted the wall with such force that it was likely he wouldn't be getting up again.

"You guys let's make this quick before this place gets damaged too much. Not to mention I'm sure if any Marines are around this place we dont wanna get caught up in the fray!"

Technique Used:

Reinaka had stopped her fair share of good-for-nothing’s that much was for sure. These guys were out of control and she wasn't sure what was motivating them to attack and destroy the restaurant. Perhaps, they were just trying to make a name for themselves, or perhaps they were wily because they had some heavy back-up that they knew would save them if they got themselves into anything too sticky. She stood back to a standing position, watching as the two idiots slide from the walls they’d impacted down to the floor in dazed heaps.

She turned to watch her crew taking care of the others and was impressed that she’d managed to find such strong, passionate friends in such a relatively short amount of time. The strength of Tai, the passion of Lee, the energy of Owen, it all swirled together into a mesmerizing display. They were quickly becoming a team, even though they had so much more to learn about each other. They would have to grow together, fight together, laugh together and, unfortunately, cry together as well. As triumphant as they felt at this point, she knew that it wouldn’t last. There were dangers and sad times awaiting them still.

She knew, like all would-be-pirates knew, that they’d eventually have to venture out in to the open sea and leave the relative safety of the Blues. The Grandline was where all pirates had to venture, the New World was where all pirates wanted to be. Was she ready for that? Were they ready for that? Before she could even think on the topic, she heard a voice crying out. It was one of the men she’d just knocked to the ground. He’d pulled a transponder snail from his pocket, and was screaming for help into its receiver. So her theory was correct. They had backup. Backup that would allow them to trash a perfectly good restaurant and then save them from the consequences of such actions.

The fallen pirate began trying to describe the Featherweights to whomever was on the other end of that receiver, but was soon impeded by a flat foot to the face. That foot just happened to belong to Rei-Rei and it just happened to send the den den flying across the room before he could finish any kind of summary.

“Now now… don’t spoil the surprise for your friends! If they wanted details then they should’ve RSVPed like everyone else!”

Rei turned to her guys who were finishing up with the other riffraff.

“Look alive, guys. We’re about have company.”
