Jude glanced over to her, watching her draw her sword, he could see it shake in her hands. The man approching her, it seemed personal. Jude stared, it was her ship. That's what was so personal. He could feel his blood boil over inside of him, it was hot and it raced through her. This was the man that had thrown an innocent girl overboard.. He clentched his free hand at his side. He was always sensitive when it came to Men who were abusive, who power tripped over the silliest of things. He sighed as he skilfully slid his sword around a man, grabbing him by the hair he pressed the blade to his neck. "Gather yo-" when the man struggled Jude thrust the blade against his throat, cutting into it, he threw him to the ground, his stomach flopping as he watched the man bleed out on the floor.

He stepped over it, going to assist his crew, his eyes continuously flickering between his own battle and Lucy's. Sure she needed to prove herself, but she didn't need to get herself killed in the process.. He jumped up onto the stern, sucking his stomach- which was fairly flat- in to avoid being hit. His sword swung down, annoyed by the slice that ran down the center of his shirt, he jumped forward, his sword dismembering the mans arm. He growled. "That was my favorite shirt.." he said as he pushed him back, swinging through Men, in and out his sword weaving in battle between several men as he tried hard to assist his crew. He hadn't been expecting this today. "State your business!" he yelled to the Captain, who was a good ten feet or so away. He looked at Lucy, if he could get the man talking, Lucy would have even more of a chance than she would have originally.

The Captain smirked as he looked down at Lucy. "You lived.." he breathed as he held is sword against hers effortlessly. His gaze didn't leave her as he listened to Jude. "I've come for what is rightfully mine!" he called back as his hand extended, grabbing Lucy's arm. "How cute.. You want to play dress up, you don't have what it takes to survive in these waters girlie.. Come with me and I'll give you a life of luxury.." he whispered softly.
