((Muahahaha!))
Ren took up his own station, swinging his club to deflect arrows from hitting him, scowling softly. Suddenly a large plank fell onto Motochika's ship, then another, and another. Whoever they were, they were going to board the ship. Running to stop anyone from boarding, he held his weapon at the ready, but it was too late. Many men swarmed onto the ship, and by the looks of them, they were pirates. Soon close combat broke out and the entire ship was in an uproar of clashing swords and yelling men, and Motochika's men were being overwhelmed. Something was off though, the weren't coming aboard and killing everyone, they were just beating them back. Over the sound of battle, something caught his attention; a large amount of men had surrounded Akihime, grinning like hungry lions. "We have a woman on board~" One cooed. "You know it's bad luck to have ladies on ships, maybe you should come with us~" One of them hissed at Akihime. "Such a beauty too..!" "Nee-sama!" Ren's eyes widened as a large man grabbed her from behind, pinning her hands behind her back. "Now what do we have here~" He was all hands. "A beautiful little jewel out in the sea needs to be protected...~" He purred in her ear, hand falling over her breast and traveling down to her obi, giving it a tug. Ren's eyes widened and he stiffened, anger making his blood boil and his cheeks flare. Without thinking he charged straight at the men, swinging his club with enough force to put holes in the deck, and he did. "Leave her alone!!" His club was just about to meet the mans head who had Akihime in his grip when an arrow flew at him, hitting him in he head and making him fall backwards, dropping his club, hair covering his face as he hit the deck.
((But is he dead~? Maybe~ Maybe not~))
