"Snnrrrk," Mizuki snorted at Johann. Seeing an eyeballed skeleton in doctor's clothes was too funny. "Paging Doctor Death!" she laughed, aiming a kick to send his head bouncing off.

Johann hadn't been expecting the kick, and it connected squarely with his skull. However, had Mizuki been expecting his head to go flying she would have to settle for disappointment. Instead of soaring off into the air his skull spun rapidly around on his neck, pausing for a moment with the bones of his neck wound up like a rubber band before unwinding the other way, stopping suddenly when it reached its original position and rattling furiously. "I wish you hadn't done that... Oh, well. Fight fire with fire, dirt with dirt, yes?"
In response to the rather comical - though still painful - kick, Johann launched an attack of his own, throwing the tips of his index and middle fingers at Mizuki, hard enough to hurt but not so hard as to leave a bruise. They were aimed at two very sensitive areas.

"Oof!"
Mizuki had been howling with laughter at seeing Johann's skeletal head spin like a top, before whirling comically back, rattling him. She was cut off as he kicked her right in the chest, her bandages binding her breasts ripping slightly. She still chortled as she hit the ground.
"Ouch! Ha ha!" she laughed wheezily, "Ahh you do play dirty! I'd kick you right in the nads if you had any!"

Johann couldn't help grinning at the moment, but nonetheless his smile seemed to get a little wider. "I don't doubt it. Warmed up? Ready to get serious?"

"Just a minute," Mizuki said, heaving from laughing. "I need to just readjust."
She took her vest off and rebuttoned it around her chest more firmly, leaving her shoulders bare. She then took a leather string and pulled back her thick tendrils in a slightly lopsided ponytail. She never really thought much about what she'd look like with hair. She'd probably have dreadlocks.
She leapt up onto her feet eagerly and tapped her fists together. "Come on Bone Daddy!"

Johann tilted his skull to one side. As Mizuki had been preparing he had as well. His eyes had evaporated like the rest of his body. now he was just a skeleton, no clothes whatsoever. He stood up straight and twirled his scythe a few times on each side of his body, preparing for Mizuki's attack, whatever it was.

Mizuki let out a roar as she leapt forward, slamming her two feet down towards Johann's shoulders. But as this was merely a spar, Mizuki was comfortable with ordinary talk as she fought. The quality of just fighting made her relaxed enough to do so.
"So what did the weirdos at your HQ want?"

Johann brought his scythe up to block Mizuki's kick, using the force of her own blow to launch himself into the air, digging the pointed bones of his toes into the concrete ceiling so that he was standing upside-down. "They want me to come by as soon as I can. i hope they're not reassigning me, but would you like to come along just in case?"
As he said this he swung his arm in a wide arc, sending out a thin blue line of cutting edge from his scythe. "Rankyaku."

Mizuki ducked quickly, but made a face as she swung her armored knuckles at his head again.
"But I hate going topside...save for occasional butt-kicking. Besides," she shuddered, "It is waaaaay too close to Shabondy for my liking. Stupid Tenryuubito."

Johann stayed perfectly still and, true to the laws of nature, Mizuki's hands failed to stretch fifty feet and strike him in the head where he stood on the ceiling. "True, but you would be an ambassador to the Navy from a Shichibukai, accorded protection by the Marines. Not even the Tenryuubito would dare touch you, and you'd be accorded all the respect due to an officer of my rank."

"Bah!" Mizuki barked out in disgruntlement, rushing towards him to deliver a powerful headbutt. "Those people have their mouths chained to the asses of those people. They'd give in the moment they begin to whine like a bunch of sick hounds. The Tenryuubito don't have squat patience when it comes to merfolk. And I-" she drew back her arms to aid her headbutt as she sped closer, "Refuse to become a pet to those toads!"

Johann moved to one side as Mizuki rushed at him. Even for someone with her speed, the vertical distance between them was time-consuming to cross. When her head hit the concrete he took the opportunity to put her into a complicated headlock he'd learned from his father that could only be escaped if the victim dislocated their own spine. "As do I. And I am special-forces for the Marines, not a member of CP9 but close to it. Were I to kill a Tenryuubito for harming you it would be covered up rather effectively. And regardless, the route we'd be taking would lead almost directly away from the Archipelago, straight into the Calm Belt. And I suggest you submit. This will start to hurt in about five seconds."

"Uh oh," sneered Mizuki, "I'm shivering in my little wee sea boots!"
She simply yanked back, taking the headlock with her, and smashed right through the concrete with one powerful headbutt, sending the wall crumbling as she flipped Johann down.
"Fine I'll go. But you owe me big time for having to be around those weeny toads. Heavenly Dragon Folk my a**"

Johann simply sat there as his bones rotated back into place. "Indeed. I lose, and the Tenryuubito have learned their lesson about Fishmen, especially after that little incident a few years ago with the Straw Hat Pirates."

"They oughta be," Mizuki got off, brushing off the dirt and rubble. The cut on her forehead was a little deeper, but she just licked away the blood trickling to her mouth, "Even mermaids are precious to our culture and our city...why I've half a mind to tear up Shabondy looking for all the ones they stole."
Mizuki had a vicious temperament towards slavery, especially that of fishfolk. She'd lost friends to slavery and despised it throughly, all while finding herself terrified of it. No doubt she'd be the slave whipped daily just to keep her from biting people.
"Maybe next time you should be more...fleshy, when you do that headlock trick," she suggested. While not an expert on more complicated matters, she did have good advice on fighting. "Stuff like that's a team effort, muscles and bones and all. You'll have to teach it to me so I can snap the next enemy I meet in two," she said with morbid glee.
