Rafael was helping with the navigating considering his previous occupation as a navigator for the Calico Pirates. From afar, a small floating bar could be seen. The bar was surrounded by giant pirate ships. This was a pirate exclusive bar. The sign even reads "The Bearing Eel". Rafael's face lighten up a little. "Hey Maverick! Barra! We finally arrived at the Bearing Eel." Rafael exclaimed in happiness as he docked the Black Lantern nearby. "Alright let's go everybody. I hope the people won't recognize us as part of the Warlords however...." Rafael said.

[Navras]

Ragnarok looked out, from the very tip of his ship, as he aproached yet another island... or at least it looked like an island. It was surrounded by ships though.

"Where's my telescope?" Ragnarok asked himself. He looked behind him and down adn saw it lying on the floor. He reached down and picked it up then turned back towards the front of the ship. He lifted up a fold that hid his eye and looked through the telescope.

"That must be the Bearing Eel... that looks like a lot of trouble if I slip up..." ragnarok turned his scope over to the left a bit, trying to could how many ships there were, when he saw a familiar one that made him grit his teeth.

"Rafael... and um... uh..." Ragnarok tried to remember the owner of the ship's name, but he jsut couldn't. He could remember his face, but not he name. "Oh what ever...Do they know Calico Jack is suposed to be here...?"

Ragnarok put the fold back over his eye and shut his telescope.

"We'll be docking soon... hang on to your hat Calico Jack..."

[4tutoralcom]

ooc:Wouldn't it be Maverick scene it is his ship? What ever!

 

Maverick got up off the deck floor,"Don't worry if they recognize us then they will know what we can do to them."

"knowing most pirates that will give them a excuse to fight us even more."

Maverick looked back at him and had a creepy look on his face,"You always know the worst was to put everything you say." he got up out his first Vivre Card as he walked down to the dock from his ship. the card started to move forward. as he walked down he told Barra,"Hay get out that item we found a month ago and throw it to me " Out came a close to entirely rotted piece of wood with a pitch black stone logged in it.

[Navras]

OOC: Woops, I accidently deleted the part I put aobut you when i went to edit my last post! my bad. I'll fix it.

IC:

Ragnarok tried to find a dock that was on the other side of the Bearing Eel, away from Mavericks ship, but he couldn't find one.

"Damn it... now I have to park off dock..."

Ragnarok tossed his anchor overboard and got in one of his smaller boats. He rowed his way to shore, which took fifteen minutes. He found a spot that hid him between two ships and tied onto the dock. He got off of his boat and looked around.

"Where are you..."

[.:Blu:.]

"Rafael got off the ship and landed on the platform of the Bearing Eel. The bar was bigger up close. It appeared as a giant beer barrel with two front doors, a giant green moray eel on top of the barrel, ans a sign in the middle of the eel. "Well, not really my place to get a drink, but this is where someone like Captain Jack would go." Rafael stated as he looked around at the different pirate ships. "Well, let's go inside." As Rafael walked inside, it seems everyone was too busy laughing, drinking, and having a good time to pay attention to the Warlords. "Well, at least now we don't have to worry about that. Now where is Captain Jack?" Rafael asked as he looked around the room.

[Navras]

Ragnarok walked around the circular dock until he was at the front of the barrel shapped saloon. He looked at it up and down, not sure at all if this legendary Calico Jack would be here.

"Maybe that guy in the other saloon was just lying to me... Might as well find out, none the less.

Ragnarok walked inside past the double doors into the cool shade of the inside. But the first thing he saw was Rafael.

Damn it...

[.:Blu:.]

Rafael looked back to face someone who looked similar to Ragnarok, but as everybody seem to know, Ragnarok does not have flesh. "Huh? (That person over there seems a lot like Ragnarok.... but Ragnarok is decayed so that couldn't be him....)" Rafael turned back around and continued to try and spot Calico Jack, but to no avail. There was quite simplt too many people in here moving around, dancing. It was a diffficult task to find the waiters. Suddenly, Rafael turned back around. "(I recognize that outfit anywhere.... It is Ragnarok....)" Rafael gave Ragnarok a "I know it's you" look.

[Navras]

Ragnarok smiled at Rafael, seeing the look on his face. in responce to it, he flipped his hair back for a moment, revealing the decaying flesh that showed who he really was. He walked over to Rafael after making sure that his hair was covering his face again.

"You like what I've done with myself? It's actually been a long time since I've had flesh like this... It feels good to look normal again."

[.:Blu:.]

"You're sick.... How? How did you regain your flesh again? And how many people's lives did you have to take in order to achieve this you monster...." Rafael said calmly yet his voice showed signs of anger. Rafael never felt that Ragnarok made a good Warlord. He just did whatever he felt like doing. Rafael gripped his cutlass. "So, I'm guessing you're here to find Calico Jack as well? I'm afraid, that I can't allow your quest to go on any longer...." Rafael warned Ragnarok.

[Navras]

"The devil fruit I ate that I dubed Death decays ones flesh in exchange for the power it gives you," Ragnarok explained. "But, should dine upon the flesh of other things, dogs, cats, birds, people, you'll regain your flesh for a short amount of time. As for how many live I took, well, I'd have to say that it must have been at least forty three or so. I'm not sure, dineing for me is ectasy."

Ragnarok saw RAfael's hand go to his cutlass and his smiled sinisterly. He looked back up at Rafael and said, "Do you really think you'll kill me? Do you really think you can? Or rather, would you draw your sword on a defencless man in a crowded room like this? I don't even have one sword on me... and you call me the monster."

[4tutoralcom]

Maverick was behind Ragnarok putting his had on his shoulder coming through the door,"To bad i don't have a sword. ", because Maverick had his hand on Ragnarok his power was canceled out,"To bad i have the power of a Black Hole" Barra comment on the curnet situation,"Well Maverick, i wonder what you will do next"

"Listen i am here to only see a good friend i ask you not to fight, but if you want to i wold love to go hand to hand." he released his had off Ragnarok shoulder and stepped back.

[Navras]

Ragnarok reach up slowly and and peeled Mavericks hand of of his shoulder. When their hands touched, Ragnarok's was completely decayed and dead. Sapping him of his power of the devil fruit did not mean the effect were gone from his body.

"If you don't mind, I'd like to keep my good looking face." Ragnarok threw down Maverick's hand from his should and took a step away from teh both of them, Maverick and Rafael. His skin and flesh began regenerating as soon as he had left Maverick's hand behind, but it was still slow going. A couple of pirate looked over at just the right time to see Ragnarok's face begin to turn back to normal, which made one of them vomit and the other cringe.

"Don't think I don't know why you're here Maverick. I heard what you asked of me back at Shell town, and you'll get your fight. But make no mistake Maverick," Ragnarok looked at him as the flesh around his left eye regenerated, "I will be the one to kill him. Of that I gurantee."

[4tutoralcom]

Maverick was interested in the fight but didn't want to get any one else involved,"Listen if you want to fight him go right ahead, But kill that would be interesting to see you try." He then walked backwards keeping his eye on Ragnarok to the bar and asked the bartender for a drink,"if you want to fight me lets do it outside. i don't want any of these people to get in our way." His arm had a dark cloud around it,"who knows many i will have to put down my drink."

[Navras]

"Watch your mouth you mangy mutt," Ragnarok growled, hating the convidence that he had. Or rather, hating that he showed no signs of fear as other people did. Someone bumped into Ragnarok from behind and spilled their drink.

"You stupid son of a-"

"Choose your words carefully, pirate," Ragnarok said as he turned around. He flipped his hair back to show the still dead part of his face. The pirates' eyes widened at the sight of his dead flesh. "Here, to you and everyone else, I'm death incarnate."

"The hell you are! I'm known as Cannonball Jones and I-"

"And right about now you'r looking mighty tasty," Ragnarok said, smiling and showing his yellowed fangs of teeth. "Walk away right now, and you won't end up as my feast."

[.:Blu:.]

Rafael simply gave a confident smile. "How I wish I can cut you down right now, but I rather have these people stay out of it. You won't be feasting on anyone Ragnarok...." Rafael warned him as he was about to unsheathe his cutlass. "Good Sir, here's some beli for your troubles, now leave. It will be dangerous if you stay here." Rafael said as he handed the man a bag. "Al-alright." The man then took the money and went off. "The only thing you'll be feasting on I'm afraid, is cold steel...." Rafael taunted.

[Navras]

Ragnarok turned back slowly to Rafael, a chilling smile on his face.

"Watch where your hand goes on that swor Rafael, someone could get hurt." Ragnarok tilted his head to the side to pop his neck. instead what he got as a tearing in his skin where his neck was bent. RAgnarok blinked, not expecting that, and touched the crack in his neck.

"Well I'll be damned, it's already started, the decaying I mean."

Ragnarok lifted his head back up and smiled sweetly at Rafael. "It came on quicker than I had anticipated. And don't worry Rafael, I don't plan to feast on anyone until I've found Calico Jack. Who is suposed to be here, but of course you already knew that."

[.:Blu:.]

"Humph.... You'll have to defeat me first before you can find Calico Jack, if you can't defeat nor Maverick. What chance would you have against Calico Jack?" Rafael then formed a confident smile. "In fact, you won't even be able to touch me...." Rafael boasted confidently as he motioned his hand in the air. Just then, the door to the bar opened up with three men standing at the door way. Everybody became quiet when they saw the three men. "I-it's crew members of the Calico Pirates! There's Woodes 'Harpoon' Avery, 'Demon Eye' Finn, and La Buse!" A man yelled out as everyone backed away. Rafael's eyes widened as he saw his old crew mates.

[Navras]

Ragnarok's eyes widened as well at the sight of the three crew members. He began to take a step forward towards them, then stopped. He turned to Rafael and said, "You know something you're right, If I can't defeat you how can I beat Calico Jack." Ragnarok gave a smile to Rafael and said, "How would you like to find out which one of us is in fact the better? Jsut let me get my own sword, we'll step out side and we can settle this once and for all. What do you say?"

The crowd had moved before when the three pirates had come into the saloon. Ragnarok hadn't budged. Now he was in their way.

[.:Blu:.]

The three didn't really pay much attention to Ragnarok and just simply pass through, leaving the door way open. The three then saw Rafael. "Hey! Rafael it's you!" Woodes said in happiness as he went over to Rafael. "It's been a long time since we seen you! How've you been." La Buse asked. Rafael without another word ran outside. "Huh? What's wrong with him?" Finn asked as he turned around and saw another familiar face. "Oh? Hey is that Maverick? Yo Maverick!" Finn yelled out waving his hand at Maverick.

 

Outside, Rafael stood on the platform and awaited Ragnarok.

[Navras]

Ragnarok shrugged, disapointed that the three crew members hadn't said anything about his standing in the way, but headed outside anyways. He walked out from the door and looked over at Rafael. He smiled and moved his hair out from his face, revealing the true nature of things.

"No need to hide my self from the people inside when we're outside now is there? Give me twenty minutes or so to go get my swords. I had to park away from the dock because there were no spots open," Ragnarok said as he passed Rafael with his hands in his pockets. He walked around the dock platform and headed back over to where his tiny boat was parked. He got inside, untied his boat, and headed for his ship. Ten minutes later, he was there. He climbed up to the deck of his ship and stood there for a moment.

"This is going to be fun. It's been a while since I've had the honor to say that someone could be a challenge to me." Ragnarok walekd over to his cabin door and opened it, letting in the light from the day and showing all thirteen of his swords hanging by chians on his cabin wall. He grabbed the one closses to the door, a cutluss with a white blade and a black handle, and gave a mighty yank. All thirteen of his swords fell down from the walls, each one connected to the chain that hung them on the wall in the first place. Ragnarok turned around and headed back to his little boat, dragging his swords behind him as he went. He dropped his swords into his little boat then jumped down himself.

Ten minutes later he was back where he had started, only this time with his weapons. He took a hold of the cutlass he had first grabbed and took it off of it's chain. The rest of his swords he stabbed into the dock, for easy access.

"Now then," Ragnarok said holding his sword up. "I'm sorry for the wait, but now it's time to proove which one of us is the best. So. Make your move."

[.:Blu:.]

Rafael smiled. "Make my move? Very well, if you insist that I go first, then I'll.... go.... first...." Rafael stated calmly as he disappeared in a flash, the ground where he was standing on now had a crater. Rafael then appeared to where Ragnarok had placed his other swords and grabbed one more of them then disappeared again. The force of his teleportation power blew away the swords that was near him during teleporting, leaving them lying on the platform instead of standing up straight. This time he reappeared behind Ragnarok with both swords on Ragnarok's neck. Rafael was iaming for a decapitation. Even though Ragnarok can't die, his body is still made up of things that can be destroyed. "Your turn...." Rafael said calmly. Everything that he had just did, only took him three seconds.

[Navras]

Ragnarok was quiet for a moment. Then he raised his cutalss and turned the balde on himself, stabbing himself through the stomach and aiming for Rafael behind him. At the same time with his free hand, he reached up and grabbed Rafael's arm, the one that held his own sword, and twisted so that his grip would at least be loosened from his blade.

"Get off of my sword, no one touches them but me. Each one has their own story and each one holds a dear memory in my heart. To touch one is an insult to..." Ragnarok turned his head and looked at the blade that Rafael was still holding, "The woman who gave me that blade's memory."

[4tutoralcom]

Maverick saw Finn and waved back,"wow it not believable you people are stilin the crew. After i left to work with Whitebeard i left you all behind.", the was a short pause,"O that right i am not here to see you all again. Sorry! I need to speak to the capatain.", another short pause while Maverick was looking aroudn for something,"Maby he hasn't told you all about the item i am caring so let me show you.", he pulled out the rotted piece of wood with the black stone,"This will help him find something he and I started our journey for."

[.:Blu:.]

"You know.... It's a very bad idea to grab me...." Rafael taunted as he teleported once again, and since he was so near to Ragnarok, the force of the teleportation will send Ragnarok flying off a few feet. Rafael then reappeared just a little bit away from Ragnarok, spinning Ragnarok's sword as if it was a play thing. "So, this sword is important to you huh? Oops, almost forgot...." Rafael took Ragnarok's hand that has been ripped off during the teleportation on his arm and threw it back to Ragnarok. "You're gonna need that back...." Rafael said with a slight smile.

 

-Meanwhile-

 

Finn smiled at Maverick. "Hey don't sweat the small stuff Maverick. You had your own ambitions as well!" Finn said with a wide smile. After Maverick showed the three the rotted piece of wood with the black stone, they immediately knew what he was talking about. "Well, I guess you found it." La Buse said. "Let's go...." Woodes said as he walked out.

[Navras]

Ragnarok grabbed his hand from mid air and held it up to his torn off wrist.

"How unfortunate," Ragnarok said. He held his hand closer to his torn of wrist and the skin seemd to jump up and tied it self to his wrist. Ragnarok twisted his hand around to make sure it was decently attatched then said, "Yeah, that sword is importatn to me, each and everyone of them is. Each one of them was given to me, not taken, on thier death beds. And each person was important to me. Now, if you're just going to teleport around at the whole fight, it's not really going to be a fight now is it?"

Ragnarok pulled hte cutlass from out of his stomach and stabbed it into the dock. He turned around and reached down for a calymore with a curved handle. He turned back to Rafael and said. "And I'd apritiate it if you dropped her sword now."
