Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rednal merely shrugged. "Well, he apologized, so I don't care much anymore." he answered, often finding it difficult to care about what someone had done in the past as long as the situation had been resolved. "Since you're talking like you're in charge, though, you might want to advise your crew on paying attention when people are talking to them. People more active than me might get offended and decide to hurt him. And you have to admit, he's pretty weak. I don't rate his chances of survival while alone to be very high."

Rednal looked more bored than anything else for a few moments, then brightened slightly. "Hey, I have an idea." he said brightly. "Why don't we have a little contest? I'm pretty confident in my defensive abilities. You get exactly three attacks against me, and I won't counterattack. If you can draw blood, then you win and I'll apologize. If not, you'll have to admit that I'm the victor, and you apologize to me. It'll be more fun that way, instead of us just pummeling each other." he calmly got to his feet. "Now come on, gimmie your best."



((And I limit myself to one use of Sixth Sense. XD))

The bullets slowed as they neared Rednal, came to a stop, then shot to the side as Rednal turned his hand and sent them shooting off, away from everyone else. A simple, practical application of his Cursed Fruit's White Vortex power, using gravity to push in the opposite direction the bullets were going (to make it seem, from the bullets' point of view, that they were going "up"), then making them fall "down" as their momentum failed to have them go any "higher" and instead they began to "fall". Directions were somewhat relative when you could alter gravity. "I'm tempted to count that as more than one attack, but that would take too much effort." Rednal said, looking somewhat amused. "Two attacks left, and you should have some idea of my powers now, eh?" he remained in place, apparently not trying to move around the area and make himself a harder target to hit, but instead inviting the attacks to come towards him.

(( Note: The bullets were aimed away from everyone. XD As promised, he isn't counterattacking, not even with your own attacks or to anyone else in your crew. For this post, it's my Defense (50) to your Strength (15), and as my Defense is more than three times your Strength, I think that's valid justification for being able to block a kick without much trouble. And as he was already expecting an attack... ^^ ))

Rednal still seemed relaxed as the man came in close. "You've no chance if you're not serious." he said mildly. With that, he blocked the kick using his arms, preventing the attack from connecting with his head. Rednal's offensive power, currently, was not very high except for one or two of his cursed powers. On the other hand, however, his defensive abilities were astounding, and he knew how to position himself well, so much so that he could easily endure such a blow. The loner hopped backwards a moment later and showed his arms, revealing that they were reddened slightly, but the skin was unbroken. "One more shot." he said cheerfully. "Come on, give me your absolute best. You either can hurt me or you can't, so which is it?"

What Rednal did wasn't entirely clear when he first moved to dodge. However, the flames flashed harmlessly past him when they finally fired, just barely not colliding with him. It looked like an almost impossible dodge, something you would have had to read the future or something to know how to do. Alternatively, that may have been exactly what the Pirate had done, and used a Sixth Sense of some sort to figure out where the attack would go and move himself so he wasn't there. Although, admittedly, the flames might not have been able to harm him even if they had hit him. Rednal's Defensive abilities were somewhat frightening that way. "Well, that's three." he said, sounding quite cheerful. "And not a single scratch on me. I win." he crossed his arms and nodded firmly. Rednal was often like that, and he had no particular grudge against the pirate or any desire to mock and/or hurt him. He had proven his point, that he was extremely hard to hurt, by winning this fight. Sure, it wasn't the usual beatdown some people had, but it had certainly been a fight regardless. "My name is Rednal Ak'Thias, and I have consumed the Yami Yami no Mi. You don't have to worry about your crew; I'm not the sort to attack people just because I can, and I apologize for being rude to both you and your crewmate earlier." he smiled. He wasn't the sort to hold a grudge.



[Rednal claims (268k / 4), or 67,000 exp for victory in battle, and also invites Ben to challenge him again under the same rules for a rematch at any time]
[[Rednal also makes a note to have Burger make a list of exactly what techniques can or cannot be dodged with Sixth Sense, to avoid any arguments in the future on that one... loose wording is bad. Leads to arguments, which should be avoided. Such things are no fun.]]

"Exactly." Conis turned to her and smiled politely. "It's very simple, and you've got the perfect look for it to work." She told her honestly. "Now, how you do it; is completely up to you. You can bat your eyelashes, move your hips to silent music, anything you think that might attract the opponent to you. Make them feel the need to be closer to you, and not hurt you." She continued, telling Kale. Kale; wished for a moment she had some paper and a pen, but all of this really made sense, so she was sure she could get it okay. Conis smiled to Kale, "Once you've tried it, you'll know exactly what works and how to complete it."

Kale felt Conis' hands slowly moving away, but her hips continued to sway -- continued to move just the way Conis' hands had directed them, as if they were under a seductive dancing spell. Kale swallowed and licked her hips, not realizing that during all of this, her eyelids had lowered, and she was looking forwards, through lashes really. Conis came around and stood in front of Kale to get a better view, and a small smile slowly came to her lips, her hands together quietly, as she watched. Kale really was going to be a natural at it. She had that look, the kind of that could bring boys crashing down from miles around. "Perfect." She spoke normally, Kale's eyes widening and her hips stopping. "Wow." She murmured, "That was...intense." She whispered and Conis smiled. "Imagine what your opponent would be thinking." She winked and Kale thought quietly to herself that she might try that on Ben one day. This caused a blush to rise to her cheeks.

{4/4; Attract!}
