now i wish burk would have stoped her

So. If her power is control over metal (Which I think it is?) Then when she inevitably fights Burk... The only thing on him she'll be able to grab is his belt buckle. And thus Burk's pants will become a casualty of war once more.

Oh, so that's her power o_O

@DeltaPangaea - If that's indeed her power, then yes, Burk wouldn't be easily bested.

that burk fight scenario is funny

It's funny, because Burk often loses pants /Rogal Dorn.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Pants Academy, and I’ve been involved in numerous clothing special operations, and I have over 300 confirmed wearers. I am trained in gorilla pantsing and I’m the top pair of pants in the entire heroland pants academy. You are nothing to me but just another wearer. I will pants the fuck out of you with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of pants across heroland and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your pants. You’re fucking worn out, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can pants you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare denim. Not only am I extensively trained in depantsed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the Heroland Pants Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

I wonder if someone will complain about this scenario being similar to that one time in One Piece.

As others have also guessed, it seems her ability is to control metal. However, it seems to me like she can only do it to things close to her arm, and needs to use her swords as a sort of conduit to affect things further away, which is why she poked Handlebars with the swords before she took over his armor. So yeah, interesting.

In other news, I don't think Ariara v. Burk would be so simple. Even if she can't control him, she still has a swarm of swords and control over any other metal in the area. Also, Burk's gotta buckle on his backpack and I dunno what he's in there in the first place.

And, of course, that's assuming that metal control is all she can do, and I wouldn't be surprised if she had other tricks up her sleeve.

Ariara is using the strategy I would use it, but she is enjoying it a bit too much. Sadism for sadism's sake is dangerous.

If Burk finds out about this then she has to stay under the roof for the rest of her life.

@re_cur Are you talking about that thing with that king? (vague description to avoid spoilers for people)

Hello, it is not controlling metal. As per today's title and the emphasis of strings special effects it's clearly puppeteering anything that comes into contact with her close range strings.

@Alcemon

"puppeteer" is just meant as a metaphor, cause she's using the General as a puppet. fyfi.

Sooooo she's gonna get a hold of Burk at some point right

If she's a pirate, then she does what a pirate worth her salt would do. I wonder how her crew looks and behaves (I suppose she would be a captain, or at least a high ranking lieutenant of a pirate captain).

Ariara's definitely got an evil streak in her; she could've gotten out of that situation in a bunch of ways without killing them, let alone enjoying it so much. However, she doesn't seem to be the pure, unmitigated sort of evil that Moe is.

I wonder what shade of grey she'll turn out to be?
