Laxus was finished with his nightly training. The young yellow haired martial artist brushed his hands off and chips of wood fell to the dirt as he chuckled to himself and wiped his hands on his pants. "Good thing they have a cleaning staff for this park." He said to no one in particular as he watched the flecks of wood fall to the ground, shimmering against the moonlight. He was shirtless and wore his usual black slacks. Alone at this time of night as most sensible people had gone to their homes already, he found relaxation and freedom in the solitude. He quickly gathered his things from the Hosu training grounds park and headed off.

"Maybe i'll stop for a bite to eat before I call it a day. I really dont feel like trying to cook something at this time fo night." He patted his stomach and it agreed with him. A few minutes later he had found his way back into the civilization of the city. Away from the secluded portion the park was in. "Epic Sax diner huh? i don't get it." he mumured to himself as he stood in front of the door. He had a small dufflebag with his custom work out gear with him as well as his shirt slung over his shoulder. He tied the shirt around his waist and slung the duffle over his shoulder as he walked inside and went to sit at the bar. Along the way he noticed a rather rowdy bunch of individuals at a table nearby the entrance. Well they're gonna be a problem. He noted to himself as he passed them. He could see their poorly concealed weapons tucked away in waistbands and vests. Where there was a weapon, there was trouble to be found. But Laxus decided not to concern himself with this and simple began to look at the menu as he allowed his tired legs to relax.

"Now what good sushi do they have?"

Marcus was already at the said diner, he had already trained a bit earlier in the day but stopped a bit early when the island's air had become a bit too much for him, and decided to take it easy. Marcus pulled a favour with an old marine buddy that really rose up the ranks, and snuck on a seastone embedded marine ship through the calm belt, thus getting him to the Grandline. Marcus's main reason for this at first was to seek better artistic inspiration, as he heard the Grandline was a place outside the realm of logic but on more than one occasion, he's had too many close calls, more then even his marine experience and devil fruit had prepared him for so he decided to try and toughen himself on a hardy-like island, and he chose Pressure Island for that very reason.

The dark-skinned individual would simply be seen drawing away at concept arts near his table, he had a normal-page art book where he's using a pencil to try and draw his next inspiration, but even with the few experiences he's had in the Grandline it's been pretty lax. Every drawing failure, he simply rips out of the book and clams it together with both hands, making it a paper ball, people who would walk by his table at the corner of the diner would notice a paper ball pile full of wasted concepts.

Irrationally so, a sub-thought kept popping every now and then. The current jazz music that's playing across the entire diner, is it improving or affecting his focus on drawing? he honestly couldn't tell, and doesn't like to blame his lack of artistic creativity on such a petty excuse. He came pretty close to standing up and asking to quieten down the jazz music, but he didn't want to be a nuisance for anyone who is actually enjoying it.

His narrow red eyes glared straight towards the front door being open, to see a blonde-haired individual with a curious appearance walking through the door, but quickly re-adjusted his eyesight back to his bland white page. He dropped his pencil on the book with clear irritation and signalled the nearby waitress to come over, who seemed to be a bit of entertainment for the other... male customers.

It didn't take long for her to see it, and quickly walk over. "Yes sir?" the woman asked bluntly, with a clear response from Marcus following afterwards. "Can I get some alcohol? just give me your best, or surprise me." Marcus had a bit of money to spend, so he didn't see why he shouldn't treat himself. After she went away, it didn't take Marcus long to keep staring down upon his empty page, waiting for some crazy idea to click in his head.

After ordering his Sushi from the cashier Laxus turned around and scanned the room, stretching his tired arms as he did so. He immediately noticed the presence of a man he hadn't seen before. A burly looking gentleman with a remarkable scar across his face where the skin had discolored. Geez. I hope the other guy didn't come out of that without a scratch. Being bored he decided to chat this stranger up. The strange music playing over the den den system was a little drowsy and he could use this guy as a distraction hopefully.

"Oy, tough guy man, mind if i have a seat across from you?" Laxus plopped down across from the man without waiting for him to answer. Seeing the dude up close now it was apparent right away to Laxus that this guy was with some sort of regimen. The way he sat, the tenseness of his shoulders, and despite his being completely safe, the way his muscles subconsciously jumped when Laxus entered his personal space uninvited. Looking him up and down momentarily he leaned forward and extended a hand. "Names Laxus. What brings you to this neck of the woods on a night like this?"

Within a few seconds the waitress would arrive with his order, either right before or right after this man would have time to reply to his inquires. And she would bring one letcherous fool along behind her, to a confrontation he would soon regret...

The concentration of the dark-skinned man had been interrupted by a introduction from the blonde-haired individual who entered earlier. When he asked if he could seat across, Marcus would've said he didn't mind but it seems the guy took it upon himself to sit there anyway. He wasn't agitated in the least as the blonde-haired guy seemed more respectable then the other customers in this place, which was evidenced by his forwarding handshake. To which Marcus gripped with his own hand, giving a firm shake before releasing his hand from his.

Marcus supposed it wouldn't hurt to waste some time by talking to this guy, especially since his artistic side is severely lacking and he won't do much by just staring at a white page all night, so he gave his complete undivided attention to the guy, to answer his question. "I'm just sitting at the corner here hoping to avoid some of the questionable individuals of this place-" during the last part, he noticed the waitress had come with Marcus's requested drink, with a scummy looking bald guy right behind her, trying to hit on her.

"Like that one." Marcus commented, though it seems the scummy dude didn't pick up on Marcus's insult. The waitress stopped by the table and gently placed the bottle on Marcus's table, suddenly the table was bumped when the bald guy tried to get a feel for the waitress's bottom, forcing her to slightly bump against it. Marcus finally unbottled his built up irritation by putting it out on the bald guy. "Oi! can you cut that out and be a cunt somewhere else? thanks." the guy finally stopped trying to grope the poor waitress and instantly put his attention on Marcus, along with a few of his obvious mates who started to stand up from their table. Marcus would've usually kept his cool, but he can only stay calm for so long.

The bald guy tried to look intimidating by standing tall, walking slowly towards Marcus and placing his hand in his jacket, slightly exposing the inside of it by showcasing a holstered knife. "Don't try to be a hero, unless you want another scar on that fucked up face." at the threat, Marcus's marine experience had started to scream at him. It was just screaming at him to take that holstered knife and teach him a lesson, but if he tried to do that the other men with clearly holstered weapons would've jumped in. Marcus is somewhat trained in hand-to-hand combat but he hasn't taken on this many before.

"See... that's what I hate about you white knights, you think you're better then everyone else until push comes to shove, then you pussy out... not this time!" he quickly tried to unsheathe his knife and get a slice on Marcus's body, but he caught the man's wrist with his own hand, twisting it which forced the man to groan in pain, Marcus then quickly catched the dropped knife from his hand as a result and slammed the man's hand on the table, before piercing the man's hand with his own knife.

It didn't take long for Marcus to prepare himself against the upcoming squad of men running straight for Marcus, from what he can see two of them have cutlass's, one has a spear and the last one has an axe. If Marcus can get his hands on any one of those weapons, he'll have a solid fighting chance, though he wondered if the blonde-haired individual might help.

Laxus only smirked as he listened to the conversation between Marcus and the other man. Raising the sushi to his lips he giggled in his head at the bravado of the thug Jesus Christ where did this guy get his lines from? The generic thug play book? Laxus watched the waitress run over to a table and hide behind a chair in the instant that Marcus grabbed the knife from the thug's hand and stab it to the table. Those look like basic marine move Disarming moves. This guy definitely served. A small frown appeared on his face as he reluctantly lowered his chopsticks and sushi to the plate. If there's one thing you learn growing up on fighter States it was how to smell a fight brewing and this reeked of a fight.

As the other men rose from their table weapons brandished Laxus slammed his hands on the table and abruptly stood, jumping between the 2 parties. "Before we get started." he pulled a large role of beli from his pocket and placed it on a nearby table. He looked over at the waitress and winked. "-This is for the fine service, the adequate food... and the property damage!" he exclaimed as he looked at Marcus and exchanged a glance. He then picked up a chair and smashed it across the thug's face. His hands still stuck to the table he couldn't move and slumped against the table unconscious.

"One down about a half dozen bags of trash to go. Oh and by the way, White Knight? I don't go by that. I'm better known as the Black Star, Master martial artist." He cracked his knuckles and raise his left leg ready to fight.

Quickly stepped out of the way when the blonde-haired guy slammed the chair against the thugs head, which knocked him out unconscious. Marcus then picked up the pierced in knife on the man's hand, as soon as Marcus pulled out the bloodied knife, the man fell to the ground completely. "Not what I'm used to, but it'll have to do." using the knife as a form of defence for now until he can get his hands on a weapon from one of the gang members charging at him. It looks like the blonde-haired guy will help Marcus after all.

"Black Star?" that's the last nickname he would call the guy who's helping him, but whatever floated his boat. "Okay, Black Star." he acknowledged it. He then saw Black Star go into a weird stance, but he didn't question it too much as he did state he's a martial artist, whatever helped him fight. Marcus saw that the other, more legitimate customers of the diner started to leg it out of the establishment, he felt bad for interrupting their night but there wasn't much he could do at this point.

The diner was completely devoid of anyone else, perhaps a few staff hiding behind certain spots of the restaurant but other then that, it was Marcus, Black Star against the four fellows charging at them. It seems the gang splitted apart to take on both individuals, two against Marcus, two against Black Star.

Marcus took on the first charging individual who got close enough for his Ink powers, with Marcus opening up his spare hand against the enemy and a high burst of ink suddenly shot out against the guy, before he even had a chance to react, the blast knocked him off balance and pushed him back by quite a few meters. The other guy was surprised as well, but didn't take long to keep charging at Marcus.

This guy had a spear, which means he would try to do ranged attacks. The guy did two solid quick spear jabs at Marcus, which he just barely dodged until Marcus finally caught the wooden end of the spear, forcing it out of the man's hand with his spare hand, the thug instantly dropped the spear when this happened and decided to charge against Marcus physically, who seemed to forget Marcus has a knife in his spare hand. Marcus also dropped the spear and did three quick knife jabs against the man's stomach, who collapsed to the floor.

Marcus quickly brought up the spear from the ground to face against the second guy he's facing, who has an axe. Which was shorter then the cutlass's that the other two were wielding, so it wasn't in his favour since Marcus has a spear. Marcus took the initiative and tried to charge against the man with the spear, but he used the axe's flat side as a way to deflect the spear's tip, he had more solid reflexes then the other guy Marcus was just facing a second ago. Marcus and the second thug were constantly circling each other, both were waiting for an opening to take advantage of.

Laxus heard the other man refer to him as Black star and chuckled to himself. Heh, i haven't heard someone refer to me by that name in awhile. As the two thugs rushed him the blocked a swing with his raised leg "Shadan!" and pushed off the ground with his other leg, cleanly nailing the second attacker in the face while doing so. He then dropped to the ground to dodge a second swing from the initial attacker and swept him off his feet. Easy pickings He stood and placed his hands in his pockets. He looked over to where Marcus was fighting and noticed the man shooting a black liquid. Probably a devils fruit power. he noted to himself as he awaited his two challengers to pick themselves back up and try again.

"Hey guy, what's your name if you don't mind me asking?You served right? In that navy or whatever?" He said calmly as he stared down the two thugs standing before him again. This time brandishing their weapons more prominently. They weren't rushing forward. "Oh so you are wary of rushing me now eh? Smart tactic." He sarcastically clapped for them as he simply stood and waited for them to make their move. "Perhaps you'd like to take this stalemate to rethink your course of action?" He taunted them while still watching Marcus out of the corner of his eye. He could see him and one of the other two thugs circling each other now, waiting for an opening to attack. Ah i've got an idea. He walked over to the man Marcus was fighting, completely turning his back to his opponents and tapped the man on the shoulder. "Oy, whats his name, here's your opening." He said as he shifted into his logia state while keeping his human appearance. No matter what attack the man in front of him or the two behind would pull on him, he'd be unaffected and he'd just provided the opening Marcus needed to strike.
