But as all of the Ships seemed to get within a hundred meters of the Horizon Palm, and with all of the Fighters still in a state of Fatigue. A hope came through as a Voice was heard over the explosions!
"Prideful Shell!" Whistles whizzed and zipped through the air! Trails of sparks left behind as huge bursts of color exploded on the Decks of the ships closing in on the Palm! Smoke covering the necks and fountains of Sparks raining on the decks!
It was Mar-Syl!
The Crew Suddenly lit up as they all recognized the sound of the Monarch of Pyrotechnics voice! Even Jeanne within the gun room understood what was happening!

"Damnit! Where'd this smoke come from!" Yelled Sakura from one of the Ships. Deacon on L-6 whipping his hand through the air to clear the smoke looking around to see that fires were beginning to spread. The Gunners on all the ships running around in an attempt to stop any ammunition from catching light!
"Vice-Admiral! We've got an Unknown ship Approaching! A steam boat sir!" An Officer reported to Deacon "Well it can't do too much with all this incoming fire!" He said as another shell of fireworks impacted the Deck
Pulling out a Transponder Snail he Ordered to all the Ships "Any ships with a Visual Fire on that Incoming ship East of the Caravel. And any with Clear Sight on the Red Sashes Vessel Continue firing! We are not letting them get away!" Deacon Ordered

"Obi-Chan!" Culliford called out across the waves as She landed back on the Bow of his ship. "Get out of here While you can! I'll hold them off!"
Leroy began to smile as he yelled behind him "Kirk! Shift east! Mar-Syls giving us an opening!"
"Roger!" The Navigator knew that this was the best chance that they were going to get to get away from the incoming invasion of marine vessel
Shifting the Whipstaff. The Carvel altered course and with wide berth was on course to cross and pass Mar-Syls vessel.
"Go!" She Called out "We're Friends aren't we! Let me Repay you for what you've done!" Culliford Called out loudly from the Bow of their ship.
The Ex-Pure Gold Agent continued to Fire huge bursts of colors at the Marine Ships. Serving as the perfect distraction for the Red Sash Pirates to Escape! Smoke Screens filling the water, large bursts setting fire to sails, the bright lights and explosions filling the air!
"Go…" They Said to themselves. Their crew behind them Reading their weapons for the Fight about to become "We may waver on good. Or bad. We may not stay the same as we always are. Man. Woman. Whatever we choose to be…We will never stray from being ourselves! Human!"
"Thank you…Red Sashes…" A tear began to well up in their eyes as she transformed her lower half and zipped up into the air! The Distinct sound of a firework whizzing and whistling following her accent as she then fired off a gigantic volley of Huge Palms of Sparks and Shells! "Prideful Special! Mar-Syl!"
Sweat Beat down their Face as Sparklers grew from their shoulders, and suddenly a Hundred Burning Balls of Sparks flew and screamed through the air! Exploding on contact in showers of Pyrotechnics! Bam! Bang! Thang! Tham!
Minutes later the Fireworks Echoed and Faded into the Distance. The Red Sash Crew all watched at the stern as the Display seemed to suddenly be harshly cut off. The Bright Light that shined in the sky suddenly, and harshly falling.
Leroy Clenched his Fist as he watched. His face in a sorrowful look. "Thank you…"
The Rest of the Crew had Similar reactions. Jeanne nervously biting her lip, Dezzi pulling their ears, Kirk and Noir Clenching the Railing. Kále gripping the Hilt of VI
But as time passed, The Crew stayed out on the deck of the Ship as they finally Crossed over the Horizon. Jeanne being the first to speak up amongst the quietness of the Crew "Alright. Seems like we're finally out of sight…"
Leroy was Sprawled across the Deck. Eyes gazing into the darkening sky. "Man…Who knew that the Grand Line was so big…" He Spoke and Mindlessly Contemplated.
That was when a sound rang through the deck, it caused Dezzi's and Leroy's Ears to twitch, The Door to the Store room creaking open… "So, it seems like We've survived." The voice was silky smooth. On the deeper end of Feminine. But it didn't come from Jeanne…
The Crew all suddenly came to attention. The Gaze of each shifting to the Store room door, a look of surprise and confusion coming over them!
The Figure that the Voice came from came fully into view, revealing to be a woman. Tall and Familiar to the Crew! It was the Woman from before, The one who'd delivered Leroy!
Azalea Raven!
