"The stars....They are beautiful...Don't you think?" Sena said still laying on th boat on her back. It had finally went dark and some time ago she told Vince to stop rowing. They might as well let the waves take them the rest of the way. Her eyes were becoming heavy and sleep was slowly takeing hold over her. "I have....A good feeling about.......Our next...Destination." Fnally she had fallen asleep, and even then her stomch continued growling in her sleep.

Hours late a splash of water woke her up and she found herself looking up at Vince. "M-morning already?..." She didn't fully awake until *BANG*. "What...What was that? Vince were are you? Are you ok?" She said finally finding Vince knocking on a window.

Alex heard a voice. "Since i've been captured, no!" He yelled towards the voice. "My parents dead, my talents, wasted. I've eaten a Devil Fruit, for God's Sake! Sadly, the place i'm in cannot be accessed. Come to the restaurant at Precisely 4 PM. Order the Pork Leg in Cream Sauce, and Basil! Run into the kitchen, and attempt to destroy my leg chains! Help me in my plan, please! I'vr been a Prisoner for six months, and if I don't rebel tonight, i'm dead! By the way, i'm Alex Ryder! Please, just help me in my plan!" He's wailing as the man whips him, and makes him dress, then dragging gim out.

[ANBU]

Kazuya noticed the boy speaking realizing they woke up looking towards them, "well.. I would be happy to take you.. It'd atleast give me a crew member for now.. Just need to grab a larger boat.." he then said just loud enough to be heard by the boy as a city was seen just in Kazuya's view as he looked at the boy in the other boat, most likely going to get there before they finished if the conversation had continued for much longer after this, Kazuya hoping there was some larger boats there he could try taking.

Leo saw Jikka deal with his pirate easily and assumed Chuck would have no problem as well, this just left a panicking "Rockhead" Gabo. "D-Do you know who I am!? There's a 10,000,000 Beri Bounty on my head! I won't go down easily!" Gabo then bowed down with his head forward and moved his arms to make a point, his arms were fully stretched out pointing at Leo, he suddenly jumped in the air making his whole body horizontal. "Rockhead Drill!" Suddenly Gabo spun at a rapid pace in a horizontal way and headed for Leo. Leo at first jumped to the side narrowly dodging the attack, however like a boomerang gabo mauld threw some trees and came right back at him.

"Your explosion wont work on me now!!!" Gabo called, leo could understand his smaller explosions couldn't, but what about his bigger ones? Leo had practiced it many times before but failed, soemthign he called "BANG BANG Atom" however if he did do it here he would destroy alot of the froest, he didn't want that it had alread to much damage, Leo this time jumped over the oncoming drill however it did cling his foot causing Leo to kneel down and grab it.

Unable to move the oncoming drill approached again. "I've got you now!!!" Gabo called. As he approached however, Leo smiled and put both his arms planted on the ground. suddenly Leo was sent intot he air as a small exploion occured ont he ground, Leo was now about 3 metres above the spinning drill Leo put both his arms facing backwards.

"BANG BANG.......Bullet!" Leo thrusted his arms forward causing an explosion to occur on Gabo's side, his hands couldn't be effected as they would drill throught he impac of the explosion but his side had minimal protection.

"AHH!" gabo called in pain as he continnued to drill but crashed into large rocks, Gabo was slowly getting to his feet, most of his rock armour was broken and he was bleedingfrom various areas, he held his arm and just as he stood straight up, Leo had jumped up and thrown a fist at his face.

"BANG BANG.......Impact!" Leo called as his palm his Gabo's face causing an explosion to occur. Gabo flew through some trees and landed underneath them passed out.

Leo smiled. "I've never been able to blow up rocks, no doubt my power is getting stronger. Leo thenr ealised the forest. "Everyone we need to leave!"

EDIT: Suddenly heaps of Marines appeared throwing water on the fires.

"Who did this?!" they shouted. "Heartless Pirates! We'll deal with you!" Theys houted at Leo, Jikka and Chuck hwos till had his sister with him.

Noticeably with all the Marine Henchman was a Different looking marine, he was taller and had short white hair with 2 large strains goign down his face, he also had a groomed moustache and goatee, he wore a blue suite with pinstripes on it. He was also holding Long pieces of steel super thin rope in his hands.

"Captain Manning!" All the marines shhouted, this marine captainw asn't a joke, he seemed to be a step up from the other marines.

"What do we have here?" he Questioned, "Rockhead defeated? Well that takes time off my schedule, but I assume you're all pirates to. That's a bother, i'll have to dea with you all here"

Leo was more than willing to fight, but considered his crews safty over everything and at this point this was not the right place or area to fight in these conditions would be suicide.

"Yea we are." Leo stated with a grin. "But unfortunatly we have to go, so until next time!" Leo thrusted his arm in front of the captain causing an explosion to occur, smoke covered the area. "Run for now!" Leo stated. which was fair theyw ere outnumbered and had no kowledge on the captain.

Kin nodded. [color="#00BFFF"]"So... I'm aboard already? I think I know how I can prove myself..."[/color] Kin stood. He put his bow on his back then followed by stringing his quiver around his left arm. [color="#00BFFF"]"Gather your things, we're ditching these tiny things and I'm getting you the best damn boat we can!"[/color] Kin turned and stepped to the tip of his own boat. He took a deep breath and exhaled. It's been awhile since he's performed this ability. With another inhaled he started to feel it. A tingle came to his fingers as he spread his arms to both sides, like a mosiah pose. He then took another deep breath as he brought his arms parallel in front of him and a loud static sound erupted. In a flash, a Decent sized could appeared and Kin climbed on with ease. [color="#00BFFF"]"Hop Aboard S.S. My-Cloud!"[/color]

[ANBU]

Kazuya watched as the boy then made the cloud appear, poking it lightly as if mistrusting that it'll hold him "so it's safe?" he asked before trying to climb on managing to get on fairly easily and surprised he didn't fall through. as he then sat on it looking towards the town noticing a couple of boats in to harbor, "hm.. that town Is probably a good place to go now isn't it?" Kazuya then asked them deciding himself whether to go there or not and letting his new crew member help decide while he watched to see if there seemed to be anything troublesome in the town.

[Techi☺]

Kin nodded and had the clouds move by his will. It started slowly to get his new captain used to floating on the cloud, but then gradually picked up speed. The cloud darted for it's new destination, and they went higher and higher so that no one would expect them. As they grew near the coast, high above all the ships, Kin let his new captain decide which ship would be the best to adopt. [color="#4169E1"]"My clouds are very easy to get used to, not to mention probably the most comfortable thing to sit on... Don't be afraid to go with the ship that is the biggest just because it's the most manned. I can make a mist around the ship and have them all jump off it, long enough for us to get home-free and for them to have a Ghost ship rumor before you know it. If any of them catch on, I could probably lift the ship under a gaint cloud and set it down far away from the harbor so that they won't be able to catch up."[/color] Kin spoke information-wise.

[ANBU]

"hm.. well that one seems.. he said about to choose one when he heard a gunshot, seeing a man that looked to have wings holding a pistol and running away from what looked like navy recruits who had rifles., "hm.. you wouldn't mind seeing if we can get one more first this way will get us some guns" he said as the Navy recruits Chased him around a corner towards the harbor nearby them as Kazuya held an arm out one of the Navy officers pulled into the air roughly a quarter of the way to him before dropping back to the ground. "come down when your ready.." he then said lightly as he got up and ran diving off the cloud towards the man who he dropped who was still getting up, landing on their chest and at least knocking them unconscious if not injuring them badly from impact. Kazuya then opened what looked to be a black hole in a nearby market place before shooting the absorbed stuff from darkness above him a barrage of apples at the back of the other Navy officer, distracting them long enough for the man to shoot.

Kenshin watched as the navy recruit turned seemingly hit by apples taking his chance he aimed and fired striking them in the chest luckily making a major shot before looking at the boy who had jumped down to help him. "hm.. you wouldn't be a pirate would you?" he asked seemingly hoping as the boy grabbed the two recruits rifles, replying with a yes as the man looked around, "you wouldn't mind if i come along do you?" he then asked wanting to escape the town so close to a naval base before the captain caught up. "well if you know how to use these well I can't see why we can't have you for now.. at least to see if you're any good" he then said lightly running towards a nearby medium sized looking boat and shooting a the pirates aboard, most of them jumping off leaving one behind which the new pirate shot with his pistol his rifle hung over his back only notice-able once he stopped moving. "now let's go before.." the man then said looking back seeing what looked like a Navy Captain at the end of the street leading to the harbor with more Navy officers as Kazuya ran towards the wheel as the man untied the rope holding the boat in the harbor. "I'm.. Kenshin.." the man said seemingly quite exhausted from running as Kazuya moved the boat away from the harbor though still only a short distance away waiting for the boy he met before to arrive.

ooc: so we've commandeered a medium-sized pirate ship which most of the pirates are most likely back on shore having jumped off when fired upon the captain having not been present..

[King of Games]

Chuck and the rest of the crew ran out of the smouldering forest, Chuck dragging his sister out by the arm. As they reached the dock, Chuck waved down the merchant ship that was still anchored to the harbour. He quickly asked the ship's captain to accept another passenger as a favour. "Sorry, Sarah, but we gotta split up here. You can't stay on the island any more, and you cant go with us, but you'll be safe with these people."

"Charlie..." was all she could manage, tears flowing down her cheeks.

"C'mon...we gotta...we gotta get going too." Chuck said, trying hard to choke back tears, "Where's your, ah..ship?"

Jikka motioned towards the small 3 person fishing boat some hundred feet away. As they scrambled towards the Tug boat, Chuck called out, "We're gonna hafta renegotiate my price. I have no home to go back to now, and the marines think ima full-fledged pirate." Chuck panted for air. "Now my price is zero beri. I'll be a real pirate and be your navigator for free." The tears were now coming out freely.

They reached the boat and all filed in as Captain Manning was exiting the forest with a handful of marines. Chuck put his feet against the dock, transformed into his hybrid form and while holding into the boat, kicked off with his powerful legs. When they were sufficiently far from Morijan. Chuck sat down and pulled out a map from his pocket. "Ok, so this isnt my best map, but the is an island not far from here, but i have no information on it." Chuck tended to the sail, pointing them in a south-eastern direction. "So what made you decide sail the seas in a fishing boat with no navigator?"

Leo replied telling Chuck about his friends and declared he was going to be the Pirate King. Chuck stared at him blankly for a few moments then started laughing. A hearty laugh until he was gasping for air. "You know, I've always felt weak, but I've wanted to protect those as many people as I could. If I was on the crew of the Pirate King, no one would mess with anyone who lived in our territory. If making you the Pirate King can help me realize my dream, I'll do everything I can to help."

Vince was a little startled by a shot he heard from a building, but he was unaware of which one it was. He decided that he was starved enough, and took Sena's hands. 'My little rosebud, we are at a new, fresh, blank spot on the canvas of our adventure, so I'd say we should celebrate on a breakfast!' He then pointed a building out to her. 'That place there is said to be a very fast and reliable resturant. I'd say we allow them a chance of preforming their best of arts to us, which is providing a warm and delicious meal to us with a smile and a comfortable ambience.' He then began walking to the resturant, untilll his eyes caught spectacle of a ruby. 'My word! A gem this beautiful! How much would you accept to part with this magnificent specimen?' 'Take it mate, brought me nought but bad luck.' Vince was uneasy, as the homeless man who gave him the ruby said it caused him bad luck, but he took it anyway and continued to the resturant.

[Christian Exodia]

Alex trudged fast towards it. The chains were half-Seastone; they limit the powers, instead of Neutralizing. He starts making the meals, when he sees Vince and Sena enter. He goes to begin preparing the ingredients for the Meal. In case he was the one that spoke with him. Like every day, his tears hit the floor. His parents, killed by his boss when they refused to hand him over. Then, he looked at the one thing that he was allowed to keep: A photograph of the family, together. The chef wanted him to suffer. A rat scuttled across his bare feet. He cut the veggies, and stored them for the day. He got to eat what was left.

[Hotaru987]

Sena smiled, happily excepting his hand and lettng him lead her to this resturant he had heard about. "Yeah, I'm starving! And I ran out of water in my cateen again. I need to refill it." She said. It was always hot during the day so water is important. "I'm gonna have a huge breakfast! With bacon! And eggs, and water, and waffles, and pancakes, and everything else I can think of!" Sena said while counting off on her free hand. When they got to the resturant they were quickly placed at a table and given a menu but Sena didn't. Even look at it, "I want every breakfast platter you guys have. And make it quick, you. Can't keep a lady waiting."

[Christian Exodia]

The chef looked at the two. "Perfect!" He walks toward the door. "Every breakfast on the menu! You have 20 minutes!" He told Alex. He took off the chains, but locked the door. His powers started to kick in, and he blazed through the menu items: First, the drinks. That was easy, and then, the food. He made sure he could make it quicker cooking; flipping Sausages, cooking the Pancakes and Waffles. He got one breath of fresh air a day: Giving a single customer their meal. He had pure Seastone Cuffs hidden in his once a day uniform. He walked out, and gave Sena and Vince their food. "Here's your food."

[Ghoulish]

Leo listened to Chuck finish and frowned ( a believable frown as if showing anger ). Leo turned and walked ot the edge of the tug boat.

"You know, Chuck, what I said before about how you couldn't be apart of my crew, because you declared a price, thereby I thought your intentions would never trully be to serve the crew as Nakama...it was the truth....however, just like Jikka, I saw somehting in you that I see in myself. Your love and protection for your sister....." Leo turned and smiled with one hand roughing through his hair "I have a sister to, someone i'd always protect...not that she really needs it though!" Leo then folded his arms and walked to Chuck with one arm out as if to shake his hand. "And as a Captain...I'll assure your dreams come true to!"

[b]BIG BANG PIRATES IMPORTANT PLOT SCENE[/b]

Inside a marine HQ Tower. At the highest room in this large structure, a structure known all around East Blue as the main HQ for the Captains of the marines within the East, few pirates dared enter this tower, of the city it lay within.

Inside a large room, with pfew pot plants on the side and a large glass table with a long glass window behind it, and a large gold and black padded chair that sat on it someone who appeared to be of great importance. All around the room there were marine soldiers standing straight and ready for orders, suddenly, the door flung open as 2 pirates, 1 who appeared to be 1 of the 3 henchmen of Cannon Arms' Pirates, and 1 of Gabo's right hand men, ran intot he room all beaten up and bruised. They fell to their knees and bowed before the figure in the chair.

'Sir! Sir!" They called.

"What is it." The man simply asked, he had a deep tone in his voice.

"Captain Cannon Arm! And Captain Rockhead Gabo....we're defeated!!!" The 2 pirates cried out.

"hmmm?" the man wondered. "I'm surprised, 3,000,000 beli Cannon Arm, and 10,000,000 Beli Rockhead Gabo defeated?" he questioned whilst looking at the 2 wanted posters in front of him. The sinister man than smiled. "Good, now it looks like I don't have to take them out myself. And who delivered their peace, was it Captain Manning?"

The 2 pirates shook their head. "No! It was some orange hair kid who did explosions!, a guy with a guitar who's music hurt! and a guy who turned into a fierce tiger!!!"

"They must be a new crew then. No doubt they'll be searching the East Blue for challenges, I await their arrival!" The man stood up. "As for you to! Marines." The 2 pirates looked terrified as the marines standing in the room pointed their guns at the 2 pirates. "Fire!"

BANG! The two pirates were then killed.

[Hotaru987]

Sena's eyes lit up when the food came around. It was a litte boy that brought it out, probably around 13 or 14 years old. "Hey, thanks a lot kid. Would you mind bringing me some water as well. Thanks." She smiled before turning to the food and started eating. "Oh, man! This stuff is delicious! This is the kind of food I wanna eat ever day!" Sena spoke with her mouth full of food. It was a wonder how she didnt choke on everyting in her mouth. "Hey keep it coming please!" She called out a stack of plates already starting to build.

[Christian Exodia]

Alex frowned, and started again. At this rate, he'd have no Dinner tonight. He kept the plates coming, and kept delivering to the same people: Sena and Vince, on top of other people's meals. The cuffs were even knocked off, if he was serving meals. He was going at Devil Fruit Maximum, and always making sure he didn't lose to the time the Chef set up for him. Once, while bringing food, the Chef let him stop for one minute, and actually talk to the two guests. He walked over to them and asked them, "How is your food? I made it myself." He got a little cocky when he saw someone who perfectly enjoyed his food.

[Hotaru987]

Sena was eating- of course- when the chef had walked over asking how she liked the food that he cooked for them. She pated her still flat tummy in satisfaction. "It's delicious! Thank you for such amazing food!" She said a happy smile on her face. "The food is cooked to perfection. Its second to none really." Though she gave all the praise to the food she not once told the man that he was a good cook. Sena wasn't blind. He was seen far too often in the front of the resturant to pepare anything. His clothes were cleen, he was sweat free - after being in the back with the heat of the stove you ought to have sweated - and there was just someting about him that didn't sit right with Sena. "Hey can you send that boy back out here with some more water please? I'd really apriciate that."

[Kyng's Old Account]

'Ms. Sena, I do wish you try and conduct yourself in a more polite manner.' Vince said as he knew what to expect. It was Sena, and nothing got in the way of herself and her food. 'You do seem to be enjoying your meal.' He then turned his attention to the Chef. 'Sena's food iappears rather nice so I'd like to order.' He then looked at the menu. 'Hmm, some Dorado will do me fine thank you, and I do wish you'd have that very polite young man come out again so I may thank him for the masterpiece of food he has prepared for us in such a captivating manner.' He could see the Chef was lieing through his face, and identifying that after the amount of food Sena had eaten he wouldn't be aggresive because of how much they'd have to pay. 'And when he does come out, do ask for some of your finest red wine.'

[Christian Exodia]

Alex had heard the orders, and began to work on them. Dorado, Red Wine, and Water. His black hair pushed forward and back, as the ingredients flowed from his hand, to the pan, to the plate. He added a splash of the Red Wine to the Dorado, then poured it into the glass. He walked out of the room, and dashed towards the table at Devil Fruit speed, they didn't see him coming. He set down Vince's Dorado, and Red wine, then gave Sena her water. "There you go. Is there anything else you need, or any other way I could be of Service? To explain my speed, I ate a Devil Fruit."

[Kyng's Old Account]

'Devil Fruit? Like my fruit I ate? Hmm.' Vince thought. 'My dear boy, I'd like to congratulate your amazing service to us.' He then tasted the Dorado. 'Hmm...very nice, I smell the marvelous scent of your finest red wine in my dolphin. It is extravagant.' Vince then saw Alex, he was sweaty, and had some wounds. 'My word, you must have had an accident with crabs. I hope you can get treated soon.' Vince then smeltwine. 'Mmm, divine.' followed by tasting it. 'My words, this is very delicious! Young man, your talent should be at a top resturant, not at a small place such as this. Why are you working here, your talent is wasting away.'

[Hotaru987]

"Or you can join us!" Sena said pointing a fork that still had a piece of a waffle on it. "But I'm curious myself as to why you're here. You're young, and there doesn't seem to be any resemblence to you and that older guy. And you say you atea devil fruit? Thas pretty cool." She then ate the waffle before digging into even more food. She wondered about her on devil fruit and figured she should tell Vince about it. But that was a conversaion for another da. At the moment, /ut yeah, this place can't be any fun. You sure don't look like you're having fun. You should come with us." She said not eve considering the fact that he may have family, or he may not even want too.

[Christian Exodia]

"I dunno. Probably, they would think of me as a Child with no skill. Right now, i'm just waiting for the time I get outta here. My parents, dead. He took me in. I can't leave unless he dies or he lets me go." He shrugged, holding his water. "Enjoy your meal." The chef grabbed him by the shirt collar, and dragged Alex back. "You know what I said about tonight?! If one customer is suspicious, it could ruin my plans! I plan to kill you now. They won't notice a thing."He grabs a wine glass, and prepares to smash it over his head. Alex ducks, and kicks him in the shin. "Sumiyaka Kickspin!" He did a Kickflip onto his head, and starts spinning. They continue their fight, and they fly out after he performed a flying move onto a Customer's table. He had a Candle on his table, and the fire spread across the room. Alex runs for the kitchen.

[Kyng's Old Account]

'My word!' Vince said. 'Ms. Sena, we must get out now!' Vince then yelled 'Everyone please evacuate calmly, we need little to no panic!' But despite his speech everyone was in pandemonium. People were rushing out, but Vince was preoccupied looking for Sena. 'I knew something was wrong!' He said as he pulled out a mask and placed it on his face. It was a white, solid, ceramic mask with a single blue stripe striking where the left eye is located. He used it to help filter the smoke, as well as his assasination skills to swiftly move around to find Sena. 'Sena!' He located her and said 'We need to get out now! The smoke will fumigate our portrait, darkening it into imperfection!' Then he realised who he was talking to. '...or...' He began unsheathing his rapier. 'We can do things "your" way.'

[Ghoulish]

OOC: For Big Bang Pirates, at this point the antagonists will start to become more challenging, we're about at the Don Krieg stage.

Leo took a chunk of bread from the portions in the large bag they had. "I dunno, guess I didn't really plan it to well!" Leo stated while scratching the back of his head. "Chuck, how do you know the seas so well? Were you a pirate before?!" Leo questioned, he was in a talkative mood, and was eagerlly awaiting what challenges and promises the next island would bring. Leo looked to his right, he noticed a flyer floating through the air, the flyer then landed on the Tug Boats floor. looking at it it was obvious what it was, a wanted poster. "John "Long Wind" Silver" "20,000,000 Beli!"

"Woah! 20,000,000! he must be strong!" Leo pointed out with his fists clenched in excitement. The picture was of a man with an eye patch and silver dreadlocks for hair.
