Marine Branch 261

Marine Branch 261 is a Marine group in the west blue led by a Demonkin called Aatrox. It consists of himself, the cyborg half-giant known as Benjamin, the half monkiean-half giant called Toharu, and a sickly mink named Daisy.

The group seems to be primarily stationed around the nation of Ballywood, with their Branch Base being located in Howaii, a small island near Ballywood considered apart of its Kingdom.

## History

After the Chaotic Clash of Okama within Ballywood and the defeat of their leader "Okama Queen" Bambettia; remnants of the group remain to be brought to Justice. Peace and order needed to be restored to California still, as the citizens still hid in fear. Not to mention, Marine presence was weak in the West due to the huge criminal underworld, spearheaded by Revolutionaries that hold the reigns instead of the Mafia

As on Marine Base off the shores of Ballywood, on a small island of Howaii, where Marine Branch 261 is stationed. Three fresh faced recruits had their first offical day as marine officers: A Demonkin masquerading as a human, had joined with a powerful fruit, was granted a decent rank to assocate with their strengths as well as a way to prove themselves and rise further up in the navy. There was also two others who started with him; both were giants in stature and assigned a rank according to their strength. A Cyborg Giant and a Half Monkiean-Giant respectively.

After they had arrived and been showed around the base, they began their debriefing in the Mess Hall by the Branch Leader: Captain Barbel. A huge muscular man who wore blue and white spandex with a justice cloak over his muscular shoulders and had a spruce cerulian moustache.

Taking quite a liking to two of the new recruits, he formed a quick broship with Toharu & Ben, whilst showing a lack of apathy and intrest towards Aatrox due to his slender build. Upon handing them several assignments, he explained to them their lack of manpower within the Ballywood Area as the majority of the marines within the West Blue were stationed elsewhere.

After giving the assignments to them to pick one; the group eventually opted to head to the Big Apple of Nyork in order to investigate the possibility of Revolutionaries trying to instigate a coup on the king upon his return from reverie, choosing to not take up the assignments of dealing with the Okama Pirate remnants in Califorina or the marine vessel that had disappeared with the important prisoner near Mashigan. As the group arrived in Nyork, Toharu quickly sussed out a odd looking building, kicking down the door screaming "**BRUTALITY!** upon his entrance. This caused a drug trade between underground mafia members led by a rev agent called Mistah Tegan Knoxxs to be interrupted as a fight broke out; with a few of the Mafia members able to escape whilst the Marine Branch managed to detain Knoxx and prevent his escape. *(Marine 261 Leveled up to Level 4)*

During their return and long rest to recover at headquarters after capturing Mistah Tegan Knoxx; it was attacked by members of the Revolutionary Army eight hours after their arrival. With the group of Toharu, Aatrox & Ben being caught off guard and awoken by the sound of a thunderous explosion from inside the base. A Gas like drug being emitted in the smoke blurred Aatrox's vision whilst Ben filtred the posion with his working filtration system built into his face as Toharu's natural resistence to drugs and posion allowed him to remain unphased. With the sound of flames roaring from behind their door; Toharu bursts through the door as the group is met by flame which the Hellborn raises his hand out and consumes the flames as it surrounds them, giving him a brief appearance as an actual satanic creature of the Hellish Evil Lingering Lands and removing the flaming roadblock from their path.

As the flame disperse, the group rush left.... charging right into the caffaterria where they encounter a marine fending for his life using a lunch tray as a frisbee and shield against an elderly man with a flamethrower and grenades. Toharu wastes little time as he leaped forward with his shield held ready to protect the marine and attempt to intimidate the elderly man. Introducing himself as Rhinestein, he wasted little time unleashing his flamethrower upon the group which they avoid bar Toharu, who attempted to block most of the flames; with his fur seared and a small jolt felt by his heart; the monkiean unleashs a fucking laser beam from his mouth to counter the flamethrower and take no damage.... as To Toharu, he simply only burped completely oblivious to what had happened. As their fight ensued, Ben managed to restrain Rhinestein as Toharu gave him a fright to knock him unconcious, which in turn caused the grasps on his legs to snap his bones as he fell.

The group restrained him as they moved further into the base to find Captain Barbel; only to witness him being defeated by a man holding a devil fruit, that bit into it as they arrived, declaring they would die.

Nissac Iewton. had stolen and eaten a Devil Fruit meant to be given to Toharu - the Aku Aku no Mi. The branch fought together as Nissac summoned demons after demons, until Nissac was seemingly killed. He then revived as a demon himself, but Daisy shot him through the heart before he could rampage any further. Once the battle concluded, Daisy went to the kitchen where she accidentally ate the Beta Beta no Mi that an escaped Revolutionary convict brought.
The group were informed that there was still a muscular mink left unaccounted for, so they ran full speed across the building to find it. While on the move, Daisy kept sneezing and even tripped on her own snot, leading Toharu to pull her up and carry her the rest of the way. During this short rest she got, she came to terms with her newly-gained Devil Fruit ability, and used it to full effect on their fight against the muscular mink Liger Masku. In which the platoon managed to defeat the muscular black liger mink, although not without difficulty. *(Marine 261 Leveled up to Level 5)*

### Entree & The Auction

#### Below the Auction House

After barely surviving the attempt on their life in the auction house thank to Toharu's quick action; Bronzebeard thanks the monkiean half giant for saving his life by handing over the devil fruit he had procured from the auction. Toharu, believing it to be a normal fruit, took a bite of it , gaining the powers of the Zou Zou no Mi, a Zoan devil fruit that allows him to turn into an elephant/elephant hybrid at will. Due to his low intelligence, Toharu unintentionally transforms into his hybrid state as he ate the fruit, only realising after Daisy addressed the elephant in the room. As he ran around rampant, his large ears picked up sound of voices coming from below the auction house. As he transformed back, he informed the rest of 261 and Bronzebeard about the sound. Ben, using his scanners, discovered a trap door that lead below.

As they entered, with Bronzebeard leading and Ben bringing up the rear, it eventually lead them to a set of stairs with a Three-quarter sized wall and into a cellar room. Hating her postion, the sick cat hissed at being squished between Toharu and Ben, causing a person in the cellar room they had entered in to approach. Bronzebeard took point, peering round the corner in an attempt to get behind the individual and subdue him; only for him to be attacked by a buzz-saw blade that slashed down his chest. With the member of the Motor-Head Family; **Jagger Uarr** revealing to be his attacker, flanked by the support of two identical twins, one thin and one fat called **BM & W.** As Jagger commented on Aatrox's survival (believing him to be the Scent of Death whom Aatrox was impersonating) he prepares to kill them. He was almost persuaded by Bronzebeard who claimed they were not here for anything; however upon remembering what Bronzebeard was capable of, Jagger choose to eliminate them all on the spot; believing that the Scent of Death had allied with what he assumed were the **Bronzebeard Pirates.**

Toharu took an intimidating stance as he managed to frighten and invoke fear in BM & W causing them both to mutally shoot one another rather than face the menacing monkiean. As they prepared to engage with Jagger Uaar and his weapon of choice; a buzz-saw, a floating eye appeared from another room, as it floated near the ceiling. After a couple of minutes; arriving from the Darkness laid by Aatrox to cover the eyes sight was Iris; a Head Officer of the West Division of the Revolutionaries.

Being outmatched and underprepared for the battle with a powerful foe that was able to splater Aatrox across the walls thanks to her **Blink-Blink Fruit** *(Mabataki Mabataki no Mi).* Forcing the platoons leader to make a tactical retreat to save his life. Left a dire situation, Bronzebeard using Bro-Bobeard attempts to Stall Iris for a brief moment to help them escape, however would end up petrified as result of her devil fruits "Petrifying Blink" and then resulting in the capture of both him and Toharu by her "Void Blink". After the group managed to flee, they moved with haste towards their ship, where they would encounter Angelina Blues, a wannabe marine and member of the Four-Arms tribe. However, before they could leave they would find themselves against Toni Pepperoni; forced to fight against the hulking monster, he would be defeated by the group after he was overwhelmed by Aatrox's Logia abillites and Daisy's archery skills.

As the group sailed away, Ben's distress call was picked up by Captain Shirowashi; who was willing to assist the groups endevours at first before Daisy revealed that they intended to start a war against all of the Five Families of the West as well as a Underground Emperor, causing him to retract his aid and call them out on their madness, however his rant was cut out by Ben's cutting of the call. In need of time to recover, the sick cat set into motion her plan to buy them several hours to recover. Using her Delay Tactics; The sick cat's fur sparked, lighting a small orb of mucus on fire, which formed into the shape of an arrow which she then fired onto the docks of Entree... unleashing her **Beta Beta Napalm** on an unsuspecting dock of people, not once... BUT TWICE! Causing mass pandionium and chaos, buying them time to rest up.*(Marine 261 Leveled up to Level 6)*
