The moment Michael saw the flask, instincts honed by millennia upon millennia of fighting kicked in, one hand leaving the staff to grab Neo's wrist, exerting pressure in just the right spot to force the hand open to let the flask drop harmlessly to relatively soft ground as a matter of routine, before Michael simply let the wrist go and kicked the blonde away.

"Don't ignore me you half arsed scurvy dogs!", Lorenzo barked as the other man fought the... whatever stood higher than a flea but lower than a rat in the human decentness scale. The pyre of the manor's candlelight accumulated on his legs, with a swift kick the pirate rocketed trough the manor door with a mighty trail of bursting pyre behind him.
As the able seaman soared in the heavens, he gained a good look of the situation. With a grin, he shot forward down the scoundrel with all his might, brandishing his fist and roaring like a mighty pirate ought to roar.
''Ye cheap scoundrel, a man is only as mighty good as the burdens he bears on his shoulders! To let a woman bear your burdens and having yourself bear no shame, to bear no respect..."
"FEAST UPON MY FIST!!", he cried with the strength of many men, a fiery soul with burning passion pummeled the blonde man with a fist bearing his full might. There was no time to even react, the lad was shot back trough the ground headfirst due to the fiery punch with an abundant trail of blood.
The pirate slowly descending, he gained equal footing to the two once again, and brandished his blade. "Your tongue or your hand, which will be first?", he snarled.
Neo has been kicked away, pummeled and bloodied by the two men before him, simply for his choice of attitude and diction. To any sane person, this would have been a signal for them to drop their attitude and start over again.
However, Neo wasn't a sane person, as he grinned widely right before the eyes of his opponents. "Your ass." Neo answered back. "Take it or leave it, dipshit!" He then, without any hesitation, charged towards the pirate in an apparent suicidal run, intending to tackle him.
Yukina, on the other hand, didn't exactly like what she saw. The scene, for her, was that two powerful men were beating up a man who, though rude in attitude, was less powerful than them. And they did all that for the sake of her honor, if not anything else. These two men were making her companion suffer for something she didn't really mind. While she could take the hurtful words of Neo and he, in turn, could take the contempt of people for his attitude, she realized that something like this happening isn't exactly the most honorable and admirable thing that she could bear to see.
Two powerful men were on the verge of torturing Neo for her sake, for something she didn't mind. For her, this wasn't fair, honorable and right. And she was disenchanted.
She then hurriedly went back inside the manor and began frantically searching for something in the cabinets on the living room. She found it, a key, and then used it to unlock a certain door in the hallway leading to the kitchen, which lead to a descending stairway to a basement. She then went down these stairs and didn't come back for a while.
And when she came back outside, she had, in her person, a sheathed tanto, a sheathed wakizashi and a Type 99 rifle with a Type 30 bayonet attached to it. She then loaded the rifle, closed the action and pointed it towards the man with the staff. With some hesitation, she pulled the trigger, intending to hit him.
Yukina was not the type of person who would use such extent of force for many given reasons, but she made an exemption to this.
