"Smoke Haze!" A smoke screen suddenly appeared in front of Noir, Jeanne and Dezzi. Deep grey as a man leaps down out of an abandoned tower on the path to the Factory
"Kaff Kaff! What the Hell?!" Dezzi coughed. But both Jeanne and Noir did not however, due to their smoking habit it was as much of a invasion of senses
The sound of a deep inhale filled the air around them as the smoke screen began to be whirled into vortex and sucked into a Large Pipe!
The Pipe was a near 8 foot wooden Smoking pipe engraved with swirls and embedded with gold, a gold plated mouth piece.
The man himself wore a long trench coat, but with the sleeves wrapped around his elbows. A simple dark green multi colored striped shirt beneath with suspenders. His face was simple with large simple black eyes and a large furry grey ushanka.
He wore brownish grey pants and simple combat boots.
This was another member of the Motley Crew. Absolem, The Smoker

Briars came flowing from the group in thick tangles from the woman, Barbs 'The White Queen' possessing the Briar Briar Fruit.
She wore a ragged white dress, her skin deeply pale
The man next to her Slammed a baseball bat made of sheer, 'Slugger' a Devil Sap Weapon that was made to withstand intense blunt force trauma, at the cost total susceptibility to cutting attacks.
"Grand Slammer!" He was a man with lush lips and dark skin. White paint that looked almost like what one would do with eye black for sports. He wore a monochrome Uniform. 'The Batter'
Another two from the Motley Crew.
"ROOOAR!" A Giant Bipedal Draconic Beast Shattered the Floor In front Of Leroy and and leaned back on its hind legs that were digitigrade. Its skin deep green with hints of blue almost in pearlescent sheen. Frills filled the circumference of its almost humanoid face filled with jagged death. Eyes glowing orange. Its two arms were scrawny with a more portly body. Four fingers on each hand that had large nails coming from its tips. Its tail was flared with red to match the skin between its wings!
The Jabberwock!
Four Individuals then Hopped off the back of the Beast. Four Individuals that are sent with it on patrols more as tamers.
Mock, a Man with a Large frame like that of a cow. Long pointed folded down ears. And a long snout. His entire body resembles cattle by virtue of the Ox Ox Fruit Fruit Model: Cattle.

This was a special sect of the Tools that Sat Between the Motley Crew and Tools known as "Behemoths"
As an Aside. Zoan Devil Fruits in particular are the only known Devil Fruits to have capability of being in possession of more than a single user. This is due to the Way the Sex works in animals. Allowing for Both Sexes to be fruits capable of being consumed. The Sex assigned is determined by the consumer's gender identity.
This also means that The Two Lion fruits. Is simply that. Neither one or the other until eaten
However, it should be noted that this does not Apply to Mythical Devil Fruits that are not said to be a species. As well with Hybrid forms where they more resemble the users physical appearance regardless of Identity, as through training, drugs or even surgery Hybrid Form appearances are however the user wishes them to be for aesthetics of Optimization
It was a full on assault! The last push for the red sash pirates to get past the remaining barriers before they were able to meet back with one another!
Noir Leapt out of the Way of Smoke Constructs that came from the end of the pipe as Absolem leapt back taking a deep inhale from the large pipe, the plant on the inside burning, he then blew it from his pursed lips! It formed into a noose attempting to catch noir mid jump and decceleration
"Golden Arrow!" Jeanne Shouted, an Arrow slicing through the smoke.
Absolems eyes shot to The Markswoman, Inhaling and creating a burst of Crows! "Crovid Smoke!"
She skid onto her knee, and nocked three arrow "Trois Pierce!"
The arrows hit their Target. "Shock Blur" Dezzi shouted as they dashed past the Smoker, Electrocuting him as he released more smoke from his throat! Then forming into a large butterfly! Zipping towards Jeanne only for Noir to dive kick through it!
"Slick Spinner!" Absolem attempted to spit a string of Silk to trap Noir! But– "King Crimson!"
The Round exploded into the face of the man! Sending his hat flying off and hurling him through the air, blonde hair slicked back becoming a mess as he was finished off with another Crimson Round. Exploding into as he attempted to stand
"Rather hes out or not, Lets go!" Jeanne said opening her arms for Noir to pick her up.
"Just how many of these guys are there?!"
Eddie made quick swipes through the air with his scythe, attempting to slice into The Batter, but he easily evaded multiple of his attacks as speed was his strong suit.
"Hard Bass!" Eddie slammed His guitar into The Batter sending him scraping against the ground, where he grabbed a large rock out the ground, he was huffing and puffing hard. Utterly on the ropes. Picking up a rock that turned black on contact he attemtped to use his ultimate move! "Home Run Slugger!"
Eddie just Dodged it. "Now try dodging lightning punk ass! Lightning Rider!" The bolt utterly annhilated Batter, but Eddie was quick to turn to Cali
The Red King, a mess of wrapped briars into a human form with a crown shape on its head raised its hand, Barb shouting "Kings Heart!" A Heart wrapped in thorns formed ready to spew when–
"Rockin Murder!" Cali formed Metal Crows and Zipped threw the air, razor sharp winds slicing through the briars and tearing apart the king!
"Now…Radical Duster!" She formed a fist around her hand and repelled it forward! Slamming it into her face! Blood spewing out and knocking her out cold!
"Miss Shipwright we cannot stay much longer! We must go!" Eddie said leaping into the air
"Think I didn't know that Skellie?" She followed after him.
"Hm Hm Hm!" Mock sliced through the air with Sais in his fist as Kirk dodged out of the way, Slamming his bo staff into his chest only to be have him try and attack from above with the Sais in reverse!
Kirk caught them with his staff, struggling for a moment before Mocks head and arms disappeared for a moment, Sais dropping, and reappearing with a pair of nunchucks!
Kirk Smiled. Releasing Nephobo into his Yonchaku!
The Two clashed with their spinning weapons, Mock stammering back as he felt a sudden shock from the ball of lightning at the end of the staff
Quickly Kirk reformed his staff and went to slam into him again, but again his limbs disappeared only for his swing to be met with a bo staff of his own!
"Sneaky!" But kirk overpowered the weapon, snapping it with a swipe of his staff. Again mock pulled the same trick but by the time he reappeared with a pair of Katanas He was above him!
"Atmo! Cloud Buster!" A storm ball formed at the tip of his staff before slamming into Mock with the strength of a small storm to explode the ground!
Raven was in the Middle of Dealing with Urt and Phone as Ghre appeared in front of Kirk!
Raven was making quick work of the Two, Snapping the Flamingo mallet and going all out in one forceful move!! "Snap Trap!" She Clapped her hands together, to Bloom Collection hands Smashing the two together!
Ghre lunged forward with his talons! But Kirk leapt backward, beginning to sweat from the exertion as he yelled "Atmo! Viscous Cyclone!: The wind tunnel swept Ghre up through the air before slamming him into the ground!
With the Behemoths down, All that was Left was Leroy…Who was currently wrestling with Jabberwock in mid air, teeth grit as he was trying to force its mouth open!
