Hari followed behind Katsu as she led them deeper into the maze, stitched traps shut when Katsu pointed them out and doing his best to survive them when they accidentally activated one.

"How... were... all... those... snakes... still... alive...?!" Hari panted as he threw a nasty glare at the pit he gad fallen into. "And ... who... put ... them ... down ... there...?!"

"Beats me" Katsu shrugged, nonchalantly detonating a further trap by throwing a stone and nodding to her companion
."But whatever is behind all that tomfoolery of traps HAS to be important to someone.And" she continued, waiting for Hari, "it has to be something they wanted to reach again, or they would have bricked things up and collapsed the entrance, not spent a stupid amount of time trapping a maze."
A sage nod from her.
"Don't you agree, Hari-kun.?"

"It better be important." Hari muttered as he followed behind Katsu. "Otherwise, I'm going to find whoever made this -- "

Hari stepped on a stone that sunk into the floor before something groaned. Something large and round dropped from behind them and then began to roll toward them.[/right]

And katsu draws him back int an air ddor as the damn stone comes back with a grinding crashing sound...
"Yes, Har-kun.You really should.Once we have an actual crew, you will, ne?"
Then, she walks out again, examines a wall ..and openes a hidden slide door.
"Thought so."

"Oh, daaaamn" And a volley of kunai flew towards the hairy, dog sized creatures dropping from the walls, falling from the ceilings, skittering over the ground..
Katsu did not hate spiders, not really, but a dozen shepard dog sized spider - things were too much.Much too much.

Gathering up her kunai and cleaning them casually before entering the egress corridor, Katsu nodded silently to that.

"Captain remember this is the Grandline, the Lighthouse keeper told us that unless we get lucky or have an eternal post we can only follow the Log post to the next island over and over again until we hit the redline again." the Hunter said a little annoyed, was he the only one that was paying attention when they arrived?

"Anyway didn't you buy a map or something while we were on that rock? I seem to recall the shop keeper saying something about choosing between some Bamboo place or a Little Garden. Whatever that means."

Click to shrink...

The captain paused for a moment, covering the red on his face with the map he held.

"Of...of course. Good to know I can count on you, Vincent." He squinted at the map again, hoping it wasn't useless in this area. "...Oh, yes, these two. Well, a garden sounds like it'd have more valuable things in it that a bamboo field, even if it is small. Worst case at least some fancy flowers to sell. Any objections?"

"Not particularly." said the Hunter as he made himself comfortable "Although I hope it has some decent herbs, I think I need to work on my usual poison some more. But I honestly don't care either way, if we go the the Garden place it should have some herbs and if we go to the Bamboo place I can refresh my cyanide stockpile."

"CAW!!"

Vincent looked at his new Crow companion, which was perched on top of the mast where the flag is supposed to go..."Say captain we never did decide on what to call ourselves and after that nickname the Marines gave me," he did hate that nickname 'Mad Hunter', seriously he wasn't crazy by any sense of the word. The blood he had spilled was a mercy, even if the faces still haunted dreams "I don't want to let them name our crew."

 

[AProcrastinator]

"No, no, no," the Captain sighs. "We've gone through this. You can't just give people anything they want because they have a gun to head." He looks up at Luna and rolls his eyes. "We've hit a bit of a rough patch recently. No way on all the seas we're giving up our ship, but we could be persuaded to part with it for something of similar value."

Click to shrink...

There's a line where the sky meets the sea. There's a line where good and evil smash up against each other. There's a line where self-identity debates with reality. There's a line marking the limits of civilization and where the wilderness begins. There's always, always a line, where one thing meets another.

Luna had a lot of experience finding where the lines were and kicking the breaking points as hard as possible.

If the man she was talking to was going to be cocky -

THWACK

- then the appropriate juncture, where the left left met the right leg, could receive the same treatment.

"Okay, then!" She smiled at the man now shriveling in pain before her. "Gimme you guys' ship, and I'll let you keep all your valuables. Sound deal, amigo?"

Grand Line
Bamboo Island- Northeast Beach

As I look around, I see a few Marines strolling around, so I pull up my hoodie to hide my face. I start heading to the nearest shop to the docks, a shop called shipman's delight. 'That sounds..... suspicious.' I walk towards the shop and see that there are more clothes and weapons in the place. 'Okay, that's good to see!' I open up the door and start walking around the store and see a grey and red Hoodie with grey long Jeans paired up with it. Both of them have openings in the middle that can benefit a guy with my powers. 'Openings for my arm blades so I don't tear up my hood! Perfect! Now for pants....' I start looking over the entire store and see a poster. 'Hm? A poster in a store?' I walk over and look at the poster.

WANTED: FIGHTERS FOR THE BAMBOO ISLAND FIGHTING TOURNEY!
1st PLACE: 50,000 BELI+ MEETING WITH MARINE LIEUTENANT HARLEY!
2nd PLACE: 30,000 BELI!
3rd PLACE: 10,000 BELI!
IF YOU WANT TO JOIN, COME TO THE TOWN SQUARE!!
'Well, that's interesting. Guess it's a good thing I caught a ride with them after all.' I take the poster, pay for the clothes and head to the square.

Grand Rock
Docks

Some people just had to make a scene.

Hovering over the ship like a drunken whale that got lost and learned to fly, Drake slowly descended from the heavens being sure not to get himself tangled up in the rigging or sales. Behind him floated his couch and multiple boxes he'd packed in advance. It had been a very long and hard choice, making sure to only pick the most portable bits of his cellar, but alas he couldn't turn down the 'promotion' without people looking at him funny. He'd finally managed to get himself nice and comfortable at Grand Rock, finally had himself a simple but effective post with a good amount of trade coming through.

But alas, due to a brainwave and a comment that he'd made without thinking, he would have to leave that splendor behind him and return to the life of a floating bath tub. His own entrance was much less flashy, mostly because he was too busy ensuring his stuff didn't get tangled up in everything as it landed around him. Flagging down a seaman himself, the former Lieutenant gave him an award winning smile, frowning when it didn't seem to reassure him.

"Could you please have someone pick up a few items for me. Didn't have time to collect everything on the way here."

It was just a few small things, a couple of ration upgrades to reward crew members who preformed admirably, a much higher class upgraded for himself and a request to ensure the armory was well stocked with powder and cleaning supplies. He had everything else himself, but there were some privilges to rank, such as sending people to buy stuff for you. He also quickly amended a few extra supplies to ensure the grog and lime rations wouldn't run out... he didn't want to spend the trip looking at scurvy ridden smiles.

Loguetown
East Blue
Gold Crown Flagship
Minutes Later...​

*BOOM*

The spray of an artillery shell in the water spread across the deck, and Callow made his move with a burst of light from the lure upon his head. Even with eyes closed the flash still forced a flinch from Hakuyū, but that only furthered his focus on his other senses to distract from it. Even with the deluge of water he could feel the disturbances in the air as his opponent spun around and threw something at him with surprising speed.

Without opening his eyes the Mink leapt forward unto his hands as the projectiles bristled by his fur and leaving a slice in his shorts as they impacted into the wood behind him. With a twist into a handstand his tail-fur grew and was launched with the charge of his energy, colliding expertly with other projectiles only for them to persist — his hairs shooting straight through and striking Callow harmlessly while theirs splattered across the deck with the loss in momentum. At the same time the pirate moved to knock him over with a low sweep, prompting him to push off into a cartwheel as his tail shot for his head as he allowed the current to course his fur again.

Narrowly leaning out of the way the Commander continued the motion of the sweep and made to elbow-strike the Lieutenant in the spine, but avoiding the tail left his target enough time to twist and deflect it with a slap of his paw-hand. To each of their displeasure, the electricity from the point of contact shot up Checkworth's arm while Hakuyū could feel the force of the blow crackling in his bones with ripples of pain.

Pushing off each other he landed a short distance from the fishman, each of them shaking out their respective arm as they analyzed one another. The projectiles must've been water from the splash — and that blow was no joke. "You're pretty good," he spoke up as he pointed his hands like pistols towards his opponent, his tone clashing with his neutral face, "This should be fun?"

Click to shrink...

Even with the fierce combat raging across the port, a crowd had begun to gather by the cabins of the pirates' flagship as one of their commanders engaged the "Lieutenant of Loguetown" they had been preparing to fight. It was almost comical how little they seemed to register about their circumstance — not unlike their so-called Captain — choosing to gawk rather than aid their fellows at the front of the ship who had begun battles with other Marines following the Mink onboard, even with the distinct advantageous option to simply firing upon the vessel dangling. The flashes had somewhat died down already as the Officer grew more and more used to dealing with it while they fought with their eyes closed, just as the Gold Crown pirate considered the strength of his opponent's electricity and the matching response to remove that option, making it easier for the crew to cheer without interruption.

The piercing sound of claws and feet shredding against wood echoed out from the deck as the two combatants knocked each other back. Neither had managed a clean hit yet, though the close calls were easily visible by the sears and cuts they'd dealt to one another, respectively as well as the ruin their duel brought to the vessel itself; fist-sized holes littered the deck and bulwark, and both fighters seemed barely worn for the trouble.

"Nice of your men to stay out of our fight," Checkworth commented as he spat out a loose tooth, "I would have thought 'justice' would have been enough raison d'être to blow off things like honor."

Hakuyū chuckled in response, taking a deep breath to slow his minor cuts from bleeding too much, "Took the words right out of my mouth... Which makes me all the more curious what makes these pirates above others your crew and comrades."

"Heh... You've got a lot of interest in pirates for an officer. They promote you up from being a dog, or are you just trying to psych me out?" the angler fishman grinned fully — a back-molar already visible filling in the gap as the two began to circle again.

"Not at all on either account," came the reply with a minor tone of surprise, "Just can't help but compare to the good captain down on the docks unconscious having made a fool of himself. Seems like strange company for one such as yourself."

Callow scoffed. "It's a long story, one I doubt I've the time to tell."

"Well among all possible futures I'd wager there's a brig in at least some of them, but I'd prefer an unmarred version without hard feelings from either side's victory — especially considering there's a group of privateers already arrived today. A little word of recommendation can go a long way~" He smirked as he held out the last word in a kind of sing-song tone that made the pirate commander raise an eyebrow.

"You seem a decent fellow; I'd hate to kill you."

"You seem a decent fellow; I'd hate to die."

The two shrugged lightly before they launched back into one another with a flash of light and a crackle of electricity — the Mink Marine's frenetic energy and the fishman pirate's calm flow coming together in a whirlwind of strikes between the two. With both of them preoccupied again and the Marines still boarding the vessel despite having begun to pull back for better cannon-range and mobility their gawkers were forced to properly engage the infiltrators, leaving the two to their battle as its intensity grew.

 

[Xaldin]

The nice, intensly relaxing shower Tabun had treated himself to did wonders for his body, bringing his mood up even further.

It lessened somewhat as he looked in his wallet, now severly thinner than it previously was. Who'd have thought hawks costed so much? Since he'd gotten two he was able to haggle down the price but merchants are a fearless sort and weren't bothered at all to get as much as they could from a marine's generous pockets. Not that he minded; it's what they do after all. And looking at the two hawks perched on his shoulders...

"Ra. Horus."

A call of their names had the two hawks look to Tabun in attention. They were trained well, so they were in fact worth the price. Smart too, he didn't even have to worry about them flying off so he simply had them accompany him.

As he approached the Golden Dawon he spotted his fellow Lieutenant Commander on the deck.

"Glad to see you aboard, Drake. I half expected you not to show up. And I had a whole speech about how much less work you'd have to do as part of a crew planned out." Tabun smiled slightly, only half joking, "So what do you think of the ship? The Golden Dawon, she's called. She's a galleon, about as big as they come for standard ships...hehe, normal pirates will be sailing away in terror at first glance of this beauty."

The birds on his shoulders suddenly took off and began circling the ship, startling Tabun slightly. He deduced they recognized it as their new home and were inspecting it.

"Those hawks are called Ra and Horus. They'll keep watch over the ship for us, not to mention devour any crows on sight. Feel free to play with them." He took a particularly menacing tone when mentioning crows. He was going to be sore about that for quite a while

"If they damage my stuff, I get a new pair of shoes."

Especially his couch, Drake loved the couch it was comfortable. He wasn't a fan of birds though, they were only good for eating, the majority of the time eating the rare fruits he liked and preventing the harvest of his tea.

"The ship isn't bad, I'll need to inspect the armoury and gallery though, make sure they are up to proper standards. "

Not to mention make sure the staff there were suffcently threatened with dire consequences if they shared his premium stuff with the rabble.

As I run towards the town hall, I see that there's a HUGE line for the tournament. "Aw what?" I say annoyed. I then sigh and wait for the line to go down.
"Name's Skull-basher, Killer of Pirates!"
'Oh wow. Such an original name.' I thought to myself. Seriously, how many guys have thought of the name, 'Skullbasher'? I then see that half of the line went down. I start to hear chatter.
"Skull-basher's joining? There's no way we can win now!"
"I heard that he broke five guys backs in a rumble royal."
"Really!?"
Oh my god, seriously? That guy is supposed to be tough? I bet he hasn't even MET a pirate!
I then get to the front. The receptionist lady is looking at me with very unimpressed eyes. "Name?"
"........."
Awh CRAP! All this talk of lame names and I didn't think of one! Quick, think of something!
".......Metal Enigma."
She arches an eyebrow. "New to the circuit?"
I nod.
"Fine. You're matched with.......Yarisobe, the man with 100 tricks."
Cool. My first match! I can't wait to see how it'll play out. Oh! Maybe I should tell the others!
"Your match is starting now." Oh crud!! I better get to the ring!

I wandered in the town, ending in the plaza, where a tournament was... held...

"Seriously?"


I asked, deadpan, of what was happening right now. Sisn't I said to not attract attention? I stomped (for me, for the others was a barely heavier walk) towards the rapidly dwindling line. After a second I get to pass, something about a Skull-Crasher or Kill-Basher, something like that.

"There is still time to enter?"

"Yeah. Name?"

She was completely unfazed and more than a bit bored. Good.

"Kaze no Akuma."

"First time?"

"Yes."

I was keeping an eye to thye ring, where the judge was explaining the rules.

"You are against Jonny Giant. You will be called."

"Thank you."

I paid my quota and went to observe what will my new crewmate do, glaring at him when I caught his eyes.

 

[Gruber dude]

I'm stretching my arms and legs, ready to fight! It wasn't long before my opponent, Yarisobe, walks into the ring. He's rotund and tall, but not really that intimidating. He had on pants that had pockets all up and down the pats legs That was when the ref came onto the ring. He is really small and had on a white and black striped color palate on his clothing. Someone tosses him a snail, clears his throat and then gives probably the most hyped up introduction to a tournament ever.

"Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to Bamboo Island's first ever GRAND FIGHTING TOURNEY!! This tournament shall be until one of the fighters are knocked out or surrenders! Other than that, there are NO RULES!! You can bite, throw dirt, use low blows, anything! As long as you knock them out or get them to squeal like a pig, it is allowed!" Great! I get a small grin across my lips. That's when Yarisobe starts laughing.

"PFT! This small stringBean is going to fight me, Yarisobe, the man with 100 tricks!? I think that this fight will last only three.....No, two seconds at most!" The big tub of fun gloated at me. "Okay, Devourer of Buffets. Let's see what ya got." I shoot at him an insult back. He scoffs.

"3..........2........1..........GO!"

I get into my fighting stance and rush towards the round man, ready to take out his jaw! "Idiot." The guy says, he then threw a casing of some sorts at my face!! "Agh!! W-What is this?" Then I felt a powerful punch to the mid-section. "Trick Number 06: Glue Bomb!" He says joyfully. He smirks, thinking I was done for. I grin and begin to step back dramatically. "Oh no.....I can't feel anything. My body feels like its shutting down...." I fall to my right knee. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Like I said! Nothing but hot-" I swing my hardened left fist right into the fat man's face! I hear six or seven bones crack when my fist hits him square in the jaw! "W-Whu...." He tried to speak, but with his jaw broken, he could only mumble. I then clear my throat. "A-HEM! Rule number four of Combat: Never let your guard down." I then kick him in the gut, sending him into the crowd! He is super unconscious by the time he hits the groun

"And we have a winner! The Metal Enigma moves on with a two-hit KO!"

I start cheering myself on. "YEAH!!! I'm the Metal Enigma! I will take on anyone that-"

I paid my quota and went to observe what will my new crewmate do, glaring at him when I caught his eyes.

I smile seraphically.

I have from various sources that my smile make my face look angelic and ethereal, almost too beautiful to be true.

For some strange reason, it also make everyone who see it scared completely out of their wits. I have absolutely no clue on why.

I clamp my hand on his shoulder and squeeze, hard.

"You are lucky that you won. If you lose, you have cleaning duty for a month. I hope I'm clear?"

I ask, still smiling, removing my hand and watching the next fighr. I was after them.

"On top of the two weeks of punishment duty you have for disobeying my orders. Got it?"

 

[GneFenG]

He walked around the town for a while before somehow ending up in the plaza where apparently a tournament was being held. Looking around he spotted Damian and Orphan. He quickly went to them and was able to catch some of the last part of their conversation.
