"Dammit, I was so close." Daichi complained as he watched Crystal leave with Otsumi. "Oh well." Daichi Grabbed the alcohol. "This is gonna hurt." He started pouring the alcohol on the cut across his side to clean it, the pain was so bad Daichi started yelling in pain. "Now I know why nobody likes this stuff." Daichi winced in pain. He then grabbed a needle and thread and, after soaking it in alcohol, started sowing up his cut. When he was finished sowing Daichi broke the thread and then poured more alcohol over the now closed cut. Even though the cut was closed up it did not lower the pain from the alcohol. "I really hate this stuff."

---

"Well how about this. If you guys are still here tomorrow, we should have Eureka cook." Riki sat down in one of the chairs. "I would like to see just how good this guy is." He smiled wide. "Honestly the only way you can tell who is the bedder cook is by tasting both. And even then there are different things that you have to take in to account besides the way it tastes."

[.:Blu:.]

"Whoa be careful now." Muri said with a smile. After hearing what Sana said about Dan, Yoh looked to Sana. "Hey Sana, do you have a crush on Dan or something? You sounded like you were at a wedding or something." Yoh teased Sana. "Alright, alright, that's Sana's personal business Yoh. Anyways, I'm just going to be taking eleven of these. I'm going to use ten for cooking, and well, the eleventh one is just for a little R & R." Muri explained as he took six of them while Yoh helped carry five. "Alright everybody, now time to head back. Here Sana, climb on." Muri said as he kneeled down. "Sana has a crush on Dan! Sana has a crush on Dan!" Yoh exclaimed.

 

"{Sneeze} Hmm, I don't remember catching a cold.... Let's go find the Loom Fruit." Dan said. Dan then heard a scream coming from outside. "Huh- Damn it, what's happening now?!" Dan rushed outside only to find two mountain bandits. "Hey Boss, is this the pirate who's been causing trouble?" a woman mountain bandit asked. "Hehe, yes that's him alright...." the Boss answered.

[Hotaru987]

"Shut up you little brat!" Sana yelled her entire face red now. "And if you even think about telling Dan I'll win our cook off by default!" She made her way onto Muri's back blushing more when Yoh began yelling that she had a crush on Dan. "I sware you're even worse that Jack. How do I get mixed up with people like you." Sana wined tears rolling down her face.

 

-------------------

 

Crystal smiled, "There my master piece is ready! Only a true master of the cooking arts can make a meal out of left overs!" Otsumi gave Crystal a blank stare. "All you did was put cold terkey in betweentwo pieces of bread."

 

"......"

 

"......."

 

".........JUST BE GLAD I DIDN'T LET YOU STARVE!!!"

 

Otsumi had a large sweat drop on her head, her hands in the typical gesture for surrender. "Ok, ok Jeeze. Either way I'm sure your boyfriend will appreciate it."

Crystal smiled, "You really think-HE'S NOT MY BOYFRIEND!!" Crystal stomped out of the kitchen steam actually coming from her head. In the background Otsumi was on the ground, a large bumb on her head and swirly eyes.

[Esplin 9466 Primary]

After Daichi was finished with his cut he put his shirt and jacket back on. As Daichi stood up he was able to feel the effects of the poison. "Too bad, I don't have the material required to deal with poisons. And even if I did, It would take somebody a hell of a lot bedder than me to make an antidote for an unknown poison. I'll just have to hope my immune system is strong enough to deal with it on its own." Daichi went in to the kitchen to see the food. "Leftovers? How the hell do we have leftovers with my eating habits." Daichi was slightly confused, but he wasn't bothered by it. "Oh well, if it's crystal cooking I'm sure it wont make a difference." At first this was meant to seem like a complement, but then he started laughing. "Her cooking is so horrible, setting for a few days would probably make it taste bedder." of course it was obvious that Daichi was only joking to make crystal mad.

[.:Blu:.]

"I'm just kidding with you Sana! You're officially the second person that I look up to the most! First of course being Muri!" Yoh responded with a happy expression. Muri began to lightly tear up. "Wow, am I really that much of an influence to kids? I knew I was good with kids, but I never knew I can inspire them!" Muri said while comically tearing up and holding his fist in the air for dramatic effects. "Anyways, I won't tell a soul that you have a crush on Dan!" Yoh promised.

 

"So, you rusty mountain bandits want to fight me? No problem...." Dan was getting ready to fight when all of a sudden, the cooks from the restaurants came out with pots, pans, knives, and other kitchen tools for battle. "We-We're not afraid of mountain bandits like you! Cooks, attack!" All of the cooks began charging towards the mountain bandits. "May, take care of them." the Boss said calmly while keeping his attention on Dan. "With pleasure.... Sleep!" May answered as she placed her hand out. Suddenly, all of the cooks began to feel drowzy and soon, fell unconscious. "(What the- They fell asleep?!)" Dan thought to himself.

[Hotaru987]

"Really Yoh? That's pretty cool. I've never had someone look up to me before." Sana smiled as Muri had his little moment. "Anyway I can't wait to see the other's faces when they see we got to the fruit first. Maybe I should let them know we got it so they an make their way back to town." As she said that she reached for the snail phone and turned it on. "Hey guys. Just wanna lat you know that you an start making your way back to town. We got the fruit already."

 

---------------

 

Crystal tapped her foot annoyed. "You mean I slave over a cold stove and Don't even get a thanks? You pirates are so mean." She sighed knowing Daichi was only joking....Or at least she hoped so.

 

"Wait a minute you're a pirate too!" Otsumi yelled and Crystal put on an innocent face. "What? Me a pirate? There's no way."

 

----------------

 

"Either way I'm ready to dig in. Hey RiRi do we have to wait for the others again? I sware they all move so slow sometimes." Toni asked staring at the food with wide eyes. Vincent, who agreed with Toni, didn't say anything and was waiting for the ok tostart. If he was on his own ship it would be a different story. But it wasn't, so he had to bepolite and wait.

[Esplin 9466 Primary]

"Wait, did you say cold stove? No I know you're a horrible cook. I always thought stoves where supposed to be hot." Daichi laughed slightly. "But then again I guess you're plenty hot to make up for that." He grabbed some of the food and ate it. "Then again, I could be wrong about that." Daichi sat down at the table and started eating. "This is probably some of worst food I have ever eaten." Daichi's insults continued throughout the meal, but with the way he was eating it was obvious that he liked it.

---

Riki was already stuffing his face when he looked up to answer Toni's question. "What, you haven't started eating yet? It's gonna get cold, and you know how I am about wasting food."

[Navras]

* Several more hours later... early evening*

 

Ragnarok's boat came to a creaky stop on the dock of Shell Town. He didn't even wait to tie up his ship, he only jumped off of the side once he was close enough to the dock and began walking, his fists bunched up, deadly thoughts on his brain.

 

A couple of guards at the end of the dock saw him coming and stood up straight.

"Sir, aren't you going to tie your ship up?" one of them asked him.

"That's not my ship," Ragnarok said, walking past the two of them. He stopped for a moment and turned around to them.

"Do either of you have families?"

They both nodded.

"Get to them tonight and stay with them." Ragnarok smiled to himself. "It might be your last night together. Go." Ragnarok turned and began running towards where he had last seen the fleet admiral Kami, leaving the two guards to ponder what he had said.

[.:Blu:.]

Dan picked up his transponder snail to hear that Sana, Yoh, and Muri has already gotten to the fruit. "WHAT???!!! I mean, great.... (Damn it.... I wanted to win....) Well Sana, I'm already in town and I'm busy at the moment so I'll have to talk to you later, goodbye." Dan then hung up and look back at the two mountain bandits. "Now, I'll give you a chance to flee, or else, I'm afraid I'm going to have to beat the living daylights out of you two." Dan warned them with a confident smile on his face. "Heh, we'll see about that...."

 

The transponder snail from Jack and Yura are seen on the forest floor, but Jack and Yura were nowhere to be seen.

 

"Well Sana, would you like to help me cook as well when we get back?" Muri asked.

[Navras]

Ragnarok walked up to the building he had been called to not even five days ago, his fists still bunched up and his mind still on angry thoughts. There were two guards at the door, they tensed up at the sight of him.

"Halt!" one of them said. "You're not permitted to be here!"

"I am the warlord Ragnarok, you can't deny my being here," Ragnarok said still walking forward. The two guards raised thier weapons and aimed at Ragnarok.

"Every Marine knows that Ragnarok dosn't show his face because his kin was scorched almost to the bone!"

"I heard that he was just ashamed of the things he's done..."

"It's neither," Ragnarok said, grabbing the ends of their weapons and lifting them up in the air. They fired but effected nothing. Ragnarok kicked each one of them in the stomach, sending them against the wall and ultimately knocking them out. Ragnarok walked up to the door, tried it and found it was locked. Ragnarok growled and changed his finger into an all-purpose-thieves key. He put it into the key hole and turned, suprsingly, even to him, openeing the door. Ragnarok pushed it open and walked inside. This was only a side entrance, one of many, but it would take him to where he needed to be.

 

-Meanwhile-

 

A small one man boat floated out at sea in the early evening hours, carrying a single man. This man was currently sobering up, laying in his boat happy as a clam, and singing to himself while he waited to hit shore somewhere.

" Sail away where no ball and chain can keep us from the roaring waves. Together undevided but forever we'll be free. Set sail away aboard our rigg, the moon is full as so are we. We're seven drunken pirates! We're the seven deadly sins!"

The man sat up in his boat, a sad look on his face.

"I don't add up to seven people..."

[Christian Exodia]

Alex tripped & started to roll down a hill. On her stop, she swallowed a mysterious fruit after being caught by vines. She turned into a half-Tiger, & clawed her way through the vines. She then turned back to Human. "Oh no, I ATE A DEVIL FRUIT!" Her scream rattled the island. She turned into a full Tiger, & ran to what looked like her new home, or, uh, ship. She then turned back to normal. "Uh, man, just as I learned to swim correctly." She ran into town, eventually bumping into Dan.

 

OOC: I had permission to eat a Devil Fruit, it was either this, or the Speed-Speed Fruit, but apparently, the latter of the two doesn't even do a thing with her being tangled on a vine.

[.:Blu:.]

"Fine, then I guess we'll just have to fight it- Whoa!" Dan fell face-first to the ground as Alex bumped into him. "Hey! What's the big idea?! Huh? Oh Alex, it's you, where have you been at?" Dan said as he brushed the dirt off of his suit. "I'm going to need to change my suit after this...." Dan said in a comically depressing manner as he lowered his body. "Enough fooling around, this town is now my new turf." the Boss stated. "Heh, I don't think so. This town belongs to the people who live here. Now since you're not willing to go back to the mountains where you belong, then I'll just have to teach you a few things about proper conduct. Alex, you said you can fight right?" Dan asked.

[Hotaru987]

Crystal only rolled her eyes. "Whatever, if it's so bad then stop gourging yourself with my sandwitches." Otusmi was following Daichi's lead and was eating whatever unlucky sandwitch was her hand touched. "Man...I'm starting to feel bad for the food..." Crystal smiled before leaving the room and heading onto the deck, seeing something that made her smile widened. "Hey guys! I can see Commi Island! We'll be there in another hour or two!"

 

---------------------

 

"I'd love to cook with you guys! It'll be an honor." Sana grinned. "Let's just hurry up and get back before anything else happens. Like seeing any more spiders-" She shuddered thinking about the last time, "-Now that was scary.."

[Christian Exodia]

Alex turned into her new Half-Tiger form & smiled. "Sure. With my new power, we got a fighting chance. Now, we have a better chance now. NEKU..." She jumped towards the enemy, & she started to slice around crazily, just like a mad cat. "SHREDDER!" She bit her lip as she scratched the bandits. She then turned back into human form, then proceeded to lick herself. "Your turn, my sweet." She then spoke again, "I think I ate the Neku Neku No Mi: Model Tiger. It enables me into a Half-Tiger & a actual Tiger. Now now, you do not wanna mess with us."

[.:Blu:.]

The mountain bandit boss didn't even move at all. Alex's attacks were stopped by May who used her whip to stop the attacks. "My, my, aren't we impatient." May taunted Alex. "May, you take care of the girl, I'll deal with this guy." the Boss stated as he walked towards Dan. May then began to whip at Alex with incredible speed. "(She's out of my range to use my devil fruit abilities, but once she closes in, it's all over....)" May thought to herself. "Humph, fine, then I'll defeat you." While keeping his hands in his pockets, Dan dashed towards the Boss and aimed a kick at his face. However, the attack was stopped by the Boss holding his arm up, blocking the attack. "(What the- He stopped my kick with just his arm.... That kick could've easily ended broken ten bones. This will be tougher than I though.)" Dan then twisted his body and used his kicked the Boss with his other leg, only to be stopped once again by the Boss grabbing his leg. The Boss then threw Dan towards a building.

 

"Right, we should hurry up before something bad happens. I can't wait until I see the faces of the other cooks at the restaurant." Muri thought to himself excitedly.

[Christian Exodia]

Alex had her knives, in case May came in for a close range. When the whip was off guard once, "Now now. Don't leave your cracker in the open." She chomped down on it somehow, she had tried before, but came out with a sore tooth. She then threw the whip over, & to the ground. She then used her full-Tiger form. Her Tiger Voice was a bit like Tigrerra from Bakugan's. "Now, NEKU BATTERING RAM!" She tackled May quickly & jumping back, in case she had a special trick in store. Then she turned back to Normal Form. "The Tiger form needs a cool-down, but i'm ready all the same."

[Hotaru987]

"You know...." Sana started after a while, "I didn't really think about it but I'm kind of worried...When I contacted everyone the only one who replied was Dan. Now Arashi and Mattico aren't really the time to make a big scene about not being first and just head back. Neither is Yura but he was with Jack and knowing him he would have been complaining over the phone about not being first...But I didn't get anything from them...Notheing. I hope they're ok."

[.:Blu:.]

May jumped backwards and avoided the attack by a narrow margin. "Oh, you're a quick one. (She was able to get out of my range just in time before I could unleash my power. I guess she's weary of other people's abilities. But I'll get her....)" May thought to herself. "No more games." May then charged at Alex while whipping the ground around Alex as a form of distraction.

 

"Hey, don't worry too much Sana. I'm sure they're fine, maybe they just took an afternoon nap or something. I used to do that all the time." Muri tried to reassure her, but he was also worry himself easily shown by his nervous expression.

[Christian Exodia]

Alex jumped into the air & into her Half-Tiger form. She used her newfound quickness, which is one of her new abilities as a Tiger. She used the store shades & bounced around May. She then threw one of her knives then jumped into a different direction, which would get May if she jumped backwards. "Neku...." She had her sharp nails in the direction nearby May, who, if she saw the Knife, would move backwards. "Vitale." She then got ready to stab May very hard with her new sharper nails.

[.:Blu:.]

"(Humph, that's right Girl, a little closer....)" May thought to herself while the knife stabbed into her arm. May held her pain in as she awaited an opportunity to use her powers once Alex got close enough to her, May even stepped forward a little bit. "C'mon then, kill me!" May taunted Alex.

 

Back at the battle between Dan and the mountain bandit Boss, Dan got up from a building he was thrown into. "Ugh.... He's strong.... But this isn't over...." Dan dashed towards the Boss and kicked him one hundred times, however, all of the kicks were nullified by the Boss' armor.

[Hotaru987]

"Yea...I hope you're right." Sana sighed leaning her head on top of Muri's. "Im sorry about all of this too. You having to carry me back down..." She had a bad feeling about Jack and Yura. Something wasn't right and it was eating away at Sana. You guys better be ok... A thought then occurred to Sana. "How far are we from the town now? Dan said he was already back. Jack couldve just lost the phone and they're already back to. Yeah! That has to be it."

[Christian Exodia]

Alex swiftly grabbed the knife from May's shoulder, & while still in mid-air, used May to kick herself farther back. "That was Neku Flight for you!" She barked after putting the knife into it's place. She revealed she had 9 knives for use, & she smiled happily. (C'Mon, just get into position, then I can reveal the move.) She could not turn into Human form, for her powers would be drastically weakened, or Tiger form, which might cause her clothing to...um, break. "I have to guess you have a power, because only someone with either power or cowardice would stand in one spot."

[.:Blu:.]

"Hey, it's okay Sana, I think we've become good friends after this whole ordeal, hehe." Muri lightly joked. "We should arrive in about five minutes, you can already see a slight view of the town." Muri said. Muri then saw an explosiong coming from the town. "What the- Was that an explosion just now?!" Muri asked. "I hope nothing bad is happening down there." Yoh said.

 

Back in town, Dan flew out from a cloud of smoke. "Damn it! What was that just now?! A rocket?!" Dan asked himself as he tried to see through the smoke. Just then, two rockets flew out from the smoke and headed towards Dan. "Two more of them!" Dan placed his hand on the ground and twisted his body up. Dan then used his legs to kick the rockets in another direction, away from any of the buildings. The Boss appeared in front of Dan with his hand in the shape of a rocket. "Take this!" The Boss shot a rocket at point-blank range at Dan, causing him to flew back a distance.

 

"Humph, correct, now sleep!" Alex was now in range and suddenly an invisible cloud of a strange gas flew over to Alex. Just the slight smell will cause an elephant to fall asleep, let around a half-tiger.

[Hotaru987]

"What ever it was we need to hurry." Sana said quickly getting off of Muri's back. She fell to one knee the second she hit the ground. Ignoring the pain as much as possible she stood up sweating. "I'll be fine but who ever iwas on the end of that explosion will need help. Let's go." Sana then started running acting as if she wasn't in any pain. Sana made sure to stay in the front just in ase anything came out, she could get it out of their way quickly.

[.:Blu:.]

"Sana! Wait for us!" Muri exclaimed as he began running towards her along with Yoh. "Sana, you still have your wound to worry about remember? Just calm down.... Your wound is not that bad and I can see that it's already beginning to heal, but you need to let your leg rest or else. Sorry about this Sana." Muri quickly ran in front of her and grabbed her up onto his back once again. "I'll get us there, just hold on! I'm a fast runner considering I used to get chase by wild animals up here, so this is going to be my quickest speed!" Muri then began running very quickly, enough so to leave Yoh behind. "Ah! Wait for me!" Yoh exclaimed.

 

Dan collided with a tree and the rocket exploded. However, Dan came out safely. "Ugh.... This guy is stronger than I predicted...." The Boss then jumped over to Dan and smacked him with a club. "Hahaha! And after this, I'm going to kill everybody here!" the Boss yelled out loudly.
