Check out the NPC Board. You can see the two villains that are in this thread's profiles. It will give you an insight on their appearance and personality.

Kisame "Quicksilver" Uzaku. Kisame was a rookie pirate, about to make his mark on the world of One Piece. Kisame Uzaka was a swordsman, using a quick and agile fighting style. Kisame could currently fight with up to three katanas. Kisame was still working on mastering the art of using up to three katanas in battle. The sun's rays pierced through Kisame Uzaku's chocolate brown eyes. Kisame let out a brief yawn and then took a long stretch, he picked up a bottle of sake that was from yesterday that was left on his night-table. Kisame picked it up, took the cap off and drank the rest of the sake. There was a bit of sake left, Kisame hated wasting sake. If anybody wasted sake, he would surely yell at them. Or maybe just drink the rest of their sake. Kisame wiped the new traces of sake off his chin and stood up. He reached for his katana's but they weren't in his sheath. Kisame wasn't good at finding things and now he had lost his katana's. Kisame searched everywhere, after a few minutes Kisame started running around the ship looking for it. When Kisame reached the front of his small ship he saw three of his katana's.

"I must have left these here when I was drinking my second bottle of sake in the evening."

Kisame stood at the front of his ship, leaning on the front-part of his ship. Looking down at the crystal clear water, the unique coloured fish of the East Blue jumped in and out of the water, their unique colours amazed Kisame. Kisame always liked animals of all sort. The seagulls talked to their friends as they headed for land. Kisame decided he should follow the seagulls, Kisame knew that wherever they were heading there would definitely be land. Kisame looked at his map to check which direction the seagulls were going and which island he would eventually reach.

"According to my map that I have if I go to the east I'll reach Shimotsuki Village. If I head to the west I will reach Goat Island, which is where the seagulls are heading."

Kisame was already sailing to the east for three days and three nights. He didn't know he was sailing east though for that long, he thought he was traveling west. (This is why he could see the village rather fast, he had been traveling east for three days and three nights.) To be truthful, the seagulls were in-fact not heading west; they were heading to the east. Kisame was rather clumsy with directions; he was never good with them. Kisame then started navigating his small ship over to Shimotsuki Village. He was heading the wrong direction but Kisame did not know that. He thought he was absolutely correct. Twenty four and a half minutes later the village was visible to Kisame's eyes. Kisame studied the village, it looked normal. Kisame was about to go get his gold chain that he hung around his neck always but then something caught his eyes. It was something on the island. Then Kisame saw it clearly, it read.

"Sake Shop!"
"The taste that everybody desires.”

"The best sake in the East Blue, ehh? We'll have to see about that."

After a few seconds of gazing at the Sake Store, Kisame headed to get his gold chain. Kisame knew he had left his gold chain on his bed; Kisame didn't want to play Hide & Seek with his gold chain like he did with his katanas thirty minutes ago. Kisame headed for his bed that was a mess and then spotted his gold chain right on his messy bed. Kisame walked over to it and picked it up, he then put it on very slowly. As soon as Kisame put on his gold chain he knew he was at Goat Mountain, but in-fact, he was at Shimotsuki Village. He didn't know that though. How did Kisame know he had reached Shimotsuki Village you ask? Kisame started hearing voices and those were voices of villagers. Kisame headed out of his bed-room and looked at the village. Kisame docked his ship and hopped off, onto the island. It was not until then he realized it was Shimotsuki Village. In big letters it said.

"Welcome to Shimotsuki Village!"

Kisame stared at the sign and let out a big sigh. He had once again confused east and west. Kisame knew he couldn't head back to his original destination, it was too far, it would take a day and Kisame didn't want to wait. He wanted adventure and that was what Kisame would get. Kisame was rather larger than most of the people in Shimotsuki Village. Standing tall, his head high up, at five feet and eleven inches. Most of the people that resided in Shimotsuki Village were 5"4-5"8. Almost immediately Kisame headed over to the Sake Store. Kisame walked in casually and sat down on one of the chairs in the Sake Store.

"You claim you have the taste that everybody desires in the East Blue. Let me taste it."

The bartender quickly nodded and poured the sake into a glass. Kisame took a sip of it and spit it out.

"This is not sake! This is rubbish! Fuusha Village has way better sake than this store!"

Kisame was thrown out of many stores for saying that same few words. Kisame didn't want to be thrown out again so he decided to walk out of the store by his own will; all eyes were on him. The men were yelling at him, half-drunk. The ladies were chatting to each other about his disgusting behaviour. Kisame walked out of the store and headed to the heart of Shimotsuki Village. Kisame walked through the village, he heard a few whispers and some people were definitely talking about Kisame. They had realized the three sheaths of his. Nobody said anything about him about being a pirate yet. A few minutes later Kisame spotted an older lady crying on the streets. Kisame looked at her and then walked up to a man.

"Who is she and why is she crying?"

"She's insane. She says her son was abducted to be tested on."

Kisame walked up to the older lady and talked to her for a while. He asked her of her son and what happened to him. This is what she had told him.

"My son w-was eleven years of age.. He was abducted by three men with masks at midnight. They just came to m-my house and took him.. I was awake and they didn't talk to me at all. I just want my son back.."

Kisame always had a soft-spot in his heart for civilians of all sort.

"Alright. I'll try helping you ma'am."

The women was about to say something else to him but Kisame was already gone, running away to find clues about this strange case. Kisame looked around the village for something fishy, nothing. Kisame then headed for the forest. About forty minutes into the forest Kisame overheard a few voices. The voices were mysterious, one was very deep and one was very light and comical like. They were talking about how they would abduct people and experiment on them, mostly kids.

"We've already got three kids. One that's the age of nine and two are the age of eleven. My fellow friend has developed two drugs. One is called Kronus which can make a person much, much stronger and much, much taller. The other is called SmileX. Which will kill somebody and they will die laughing. SmileX is perfect for your crew. Kronus is perfect for mine. What do you say, Candy?"

Kisame inferred the person with the lighter voice was named Candy. This was a strange case, Kisame could get some fame solving this case. Kisame then took a brief look at the two people, one was a kid, but not a kid, more of a puppet and the other one was a man that wielded two swords. They both looked much stronger than him. Kisame knew this could be a good start to his career. But he couldn't do this alone. He needed a few people to help him with this, but where would he find those people?

[agentj]

Sigmund didn't necessarily consider himself a swordsmen by any standard. A swordsmen used swords, primarily, in which the three swords he used weren't in his imagination swords, but rather, tools. Each blade was distinctly different from the others and he would use them in tandem to exploit the weaknesses of those he would come into opposition with. Why would he be in East Blue? Far from his home at that? It was said that this island was known for it's swordsmen, and their impressive capability, as made famous by one pirate currently raging in the new world. While he was no swordsmen, by his own consideration, he was a man of the book and an academic with a thirst for knowledge. While the most precious of knowledge came from the heat of experience in battle, he himself couldn't ignore that there were also secondary methods of learning. Through observation, he would acquire more knowledge on how to adequately use his tools to the best of their ability, and thus get the most out of each 'experiment'.

He found the experience of watching swordsmen training, specifically the younger ones, inspiring in a way. For as young as they were they were each determined and focused, traits that you didn't often see in children, let alone adults. Their form was something of muscle memory, repeating an action over and over until it was engraved in their brains and automatically performed. This was something Sigmund had no real experience in, as he had no need to practice, rather an active improviser, treating a battle as a problem to be solved and then doing anything and everything within his means to solve the problem. Any real swordsmen would probably call what he did crude and without form, but as I have already mentioned, Sigmund doesn't consider himself a swordsmen.

It was interesting though, the transfer of learning, that simply by watching something done, if one was observant enough, through comprehension and mimicry one could automatically become more proficient in it. A demonstration was always better than an explanation, as the motion of the body are implicit and intuitive. The sign of a real master of any art or passion is one that can accurately and efficiently teach others their craft. It was an exquisite show to see the youth of the village taking on the traits of their master right before his very eyes, being molded into an impression of their art with great precision. It was the little things like this that made Sigmund's profession worth it; to watch a seed grow into a sprout, the signs of life in motion...

For three days Sigmund stayed on this island, actively avoiding confrontation for the sake of being unobtrusive in his natural observations of the people that lived here. Being a psychologist he was also drawn towards those abnormalities that occurred from place to place, and quickly came across a distraught woman. Some claimed her to be mad, or insane because of her depression, saying she had been crying for days. While he was well aware of the symptoms of depression, he decided to investigate further, though as he went to approach the woman, it would seem as though she had attracted the attention of another person...

Oddly enough this other individual also had three blades upon their person, all three seemed to be Katana. He was aware that the near famous swordsmen that came from this island wore three swords himself, and most likely had generated many copy-cats who tried to mimic his three sword style, though this is only ever what he had read in newspapers and heard marines telling stories about.

Instead of butting in, Sigmund turned and ear to their conversation and simply over heard what they were saying. Apparently, the her son had been kidnapped; and traumatic was it was, most likely wasn't a bought of madness after all. While Sigmund was disappointed that her emotional state was the result of a good reason and not just insanity, he had taken interest in this supposed swordsmen who had just heard this information himself and taken it upon himself to help. Instead of waiting to hear further information, the man took off at an instant. Hardly an efficient way to gather information... but he wasn't to judge the man's tactics, rather his actions.

To observe the zealous man he followed him for quite some time into the forests of the island. It seemed as though he was going no where fast, and perhaps Sigmund was wasting his time; but just before he was about to turn back and head towards the village, the man stopped. Sigmund jumped behind a tree and even he could hear the voices of other people, though not exactly what they were saying at this distance. Did this swordsmen know exactly where the children were? He must have otherwise he wouldn't have taken off with such certainty. Surely he wasn't just some idiot that aimlessly ran into the forest and just so happened to run into ominous whispers.

For now Sigmund would watch the man, curious as to his actions and in intentions.

[astrick]

As Kisame overheard the conversation he slightly unsheathed the katana on his right thigh just in-case something unexpected happened. Kisame took a slight glimpse at the two humans that were going to export drugs to one another. Kisame glimpsed at the smaller lady first. She was a rather small lady, she was around the age of twenty to twenty five. She had black hair that shined in the sun-light and green eyes. She had a very, devilish look in her eyes that made her distinctive from others. She wore a satanic dress that only added to her demonic appearance, lastly, she wore black pants and curved, pointy shoes. After a while of studying the lady Kisame moved his gaze over to the man. The man also had black hair, the same tone of black that Candy had, the man also wore a red bandanna around his head. The man also wore green armor, a belt and brown pants. The man wielded a brown staff, a staff was an unusual type of weapon, but the man did look badass, Kisame didn't really know what you could do with a staff. Kisame noticed the man was smoking the whole conversation.

"The deals on, Ricci."

"The children will be tested on at the underground cavern, west of this location."

Kisame thought of which way was west and which way was east. As we all know Kisame has trouble identifying which way is east and which way is west. A few seconds later the criminal, Ricci, pointed to the west, that would help Kisame find the underground cavern. The big question now was finding the underground cavern, which would be rather hard. Kisame slowly started slowly walking away. Kisame kept his gaze on the two criminals and moved, while Kisame was moving he tripped over a branch and then he clumsily fell to the ground. The branch that Kisame fell over made a cracking sound and it alerted Candy and Ricci that somebody was nearby. Kisame quickly got up and started racing away, Kisame was an agile person but Ricci had already sent some of his henchmen. Ricci had sent four henchmen for Kisame, three snipers and one swordsman. From what Kisame saw the swordsman looked like the boss of those four people.

"Make sure you get that bastard and make sure he does not come back!"

Kisame started running through the forest, within minutes he was back in town and running, the henchmen were just behind him and that mysterious man was probably behind the henchmen, or lurking in the shadows watching Kisame run. While Kisame was running he knocked down one of those fruit markets that you see at the occasional farmer markets. An older lady swore at Kisame for doing that. Kisame ran through alleyways and the local streets, Kisame was causing chaos all around town, breaking stuff by accident, knocking down a biker one or two times and people started to lock their doors due to the chaos. The henchmen were getting tired from running and so was Kisame. You think that was bad but the worst was about to arrive. A group of marines stood in-front of Kisame, Kisame didn't see the marines, he was looking back at the henchmen of Ricci that were following him, while Kisame was looking behind him he bumped into a marine, making one of the three marines fall.

"Watch your step idiot!"

Kisame couldn't really talk at the moment so Kisame did not apologize, after not getting an apology for Kisame they started chasing him, while they were chasing him they spotted the three sheaths that Kisame was carrying around with him. Those three marines knew that a lot of wannabe Roronoa Zoro's came to this town. They thought Kisame was one of them, but Kisame was in-fact going to be like Zoro. Not exactly though. The bandits noticed the marines running in-front of them and they decided to split up, they did not want to get in trouble. They all decided to get ahead of Kisame and attack Kisame when he was off-guard. Kisame hardly had any stamina left in his tank and decided to turn around, facing the marines. The marine that was knocked down demanded another apology but Kisame did not apologize. Kisame knew he had to face the marines, Kisame was not really good at apologizing. Kisame faced them, unsheathing two of his katanas. All three of the marines wielded one katana.

"It's a long trip from Fuusha Village to Shimotsuki Village and I ain't in the mood to talk. So do me a favor and shut the hell up."

A slight breeze blew in on Mar while he was eating his afternoon lunch at a diner. It had been a good change of pace from the past islands he had been on. Either the freezing cold or blasting heat seemed to always follow Mar as he jumped from island to island thanks to his unsuspecting couriers, but Mar had no complaints, each day was just a new adventure waiting happen. It was nice though to enjoy a nice cooked meal then to scavenge for fruits in a forest or cooking meat over a camp fire, until a strange man ran through the town, causing a ruckus. At first Mar could see him running into citizens, fruit stands, and just about anything that got in his path. It seemed like the strange man was escaping something like a bat out of hell, but it was really of no concern to him, until he came crashing into his table, leaving food and broken pieces of the table laying all over the ground.

Dazed from being run into, Mar began to slowly get up, trying to give a helping hand to the man but he had gotten up and taken off, not saying a word, before Mar could really get a good glance at him. All he could remember was three swords dangling at his side, and that was because he had heard of a swordsman in the past who had used three swords who had become a major threat to the government. Getting up and dusting himself off, Mar stood up, trying to make sense of all this. "Jeez, didn't even say sorry." Mar had just finished saying this when he was thrown back onto the ground, for the second time today, from a group of men, chasing the strange swordsmen who just colliding into him.

"What are you doing shrimp, your making us lose him." One of the followers had said as he pushed Mar and gotten to his feet continuing to chase after the strange swordsman, with the others following behind him. Getting back up to his feet for a second time, Mar had become angry, but not at the fact of people continuously running over him, but because the group of people had made fun of his size.

"What did you say?!?! Might want to come back here and say that to my face!!" Screaming out at the followers but they were quickly leaving Mar's sight. So Mar quickly dug out some beli from his pocket, paying for his lunch bill and the expenses of the broken table and took off after the people who had just ran into him. After several minutes of chasing after the people who just ran into him, dodging the citizens converging in the streets to witness the swordsman's mayhem, running through alleyways; doing all of these just to beat some manners into that group of people, Mar had eventually lost them. "Damn, where did they take off too?" Mar had questioned to himself as he searched the immediate area and quickly found the swordsman who had just ran into a group of marines, but paying no attention to that last crucial fact, Mar walked up to the swordsman enraged and just taking out his anger out on him. "Jeez, your causing me a lot of problems today, yuh know that?" Mar yelled at the swordsman walking up to him just when he pulled out his swords, and clearly not reading the nearby vibe that the swordsman was just about to pick a fight with the marines.

Getting no response from the swordsman, who had just probably blew him off as he was dealing with a bigger situation, Mar walked right in front of and asked again. "Hey? Can you hear me?! Im talking to you!" Mar began to yell again at the swordsmen. At this time from the chaos of the swordsman, the followers and Mar running down the street, the animosity between the swordsman and the marines, and finally Mar yelling at the swordsman, had drawn a large crowd of people, wondering just what was up.

"Hey kid, your interrupting with official government bus.." The marine had begun to say, but before he could finish Mar quickly decked the marine sending him back to the ground, still angry about the unknown follower who called him a shrimp.

"No, your interrupting with my..." Mar had yelled back at the marines, unable to finish his sentence when he finally figures out what he did and to who he did it too. A few seconds went by before anyone said anything while Mar cursed under his breathe over the foolish mistake he just made. "Well, i guess there's no way out of this for me." Mar exclaimed as he drew out his combat knives and charged at a marines who weren't on the ground. Quickly punching one of them in the gut with the brass knuckle-like finger lacing on his knife, Mar charged at the other marine, as the 2nd marine fell to the ground,throwing a right hook, sending that marine tumbling after the others, making sure not to cut him with the blade of his knife, not wanting to cause any serious harm.

Before any of the marines were able to make sense of anything that happened just now, Mar had grabbed the hand of the swordsman and took off into the populated crowd, yelling back at the swordsman "You owe me lunch!", in which only the swordsman could hear him as the crowd had begun shouting, some cheering and others yelling for help, causing the streets to become chaotic once again.

[astrick]

"Hey? Can you hear me?! Im talking to you!"

A man had randomly hopped in-front of Kisame, which was a very stupid move. At least that's what Kisame thought, but Kisame had done that a few times, not in-front of marines though. Kisame grew tense, what was this idiot doing. Kisame had already picked a fight with the marines and now this kid was picking a fight with him, at least the person looked like a kid. The person stood about 5"1. A good ten inches under Kisame. The person had to basically raise his whole head up to make eye-contact with Kisame. The person had short black hair with blue eyes that stood out together. The man wore dark blue shorts and a white top. It also seemed as if the man was wearing a black shirt under his white top. He also had a small scar on his cheek, the scar was the thing that was most distinctive about the person. The person that was yelling at him was attracting a large crowd.

"Who in the fucking blue hell are you?!"

"Hey, kid. You're interrupting with official government buis..-"

The person quickly cut off the marine that Kisame had bumped into earlier and quickly decked him to the ground. Kisame had heard the reference of a "shrimp" used earlier while he was running and the marine was probably calling this person names earlier, due to his size that is.

"No, you're interrupting with my.."

The small shrimp cursed under his breath, some pretty nasty words the person said under his breath.

"Well, I guess there's no way out of this for me!"

The person quickly drew two objects that look liked knives, combat knives. The person punched the marine in the gut and then threw a right hook, sending the marine to the ground. This person surely had guts. The marines looked confused and were still thinking of what had just happened. The marine that had been sent to the ground looked hurt, but not severely hurt. Right before Kisame opened his mouth to speak the person quickly grabbed Kisame's right hand and started running with him. This "shrimp." sure had some strength in him. To drag Kisame with him was quite an accomplishment for a person as small as him.

"You owe me lunch!"


Some bystanders stood there and watched, some cheered, some just stood there in shock. Most of the cheers came from younger kids. We all know kids, mostly boys like action. That's exactly what happened. Kisame let out a sly grin, he never really had people cheer for him, he only knew the feeling of being chased. But despite his past Kisame was quite a person, a comical one at times. About five minutes of running Kisame looked behind him, the marines were nowhere in sight and it seemed as if they were in the forest that Kisame was in earlier. Kisame stopped running and so did the man.

"First off, why the hell did you drag me here and who the fuck are you?!"

Kisame sighed and tried calming himself down to address the situation in a better way.

"You are one heck of an idiot you know? The marines were chasing me cause I bumped into one of them. You didn't need to help me, as if I needed help anyway."

A moment of silence followed Kisame's sentences. The wind blew across the forest, it was a beautiful day. But not for Kisame.

Meanwhile Kisame was talking with the mysterious person that had dragged Kisame earlier, the three imbeciles that worked for Giangulli Ricci were following Kisame and Mar the whole time. They had already planned what to do, they would attack Kisame from the back first, they knew Kisame was the most dangerous out of the two. He was armed with three katanas while the shrimp was armed with two combat knives. The three imbeciles were obviously not men. They would attack from the back. Around two minutes later the attack started. The three men charged at once, one of them kicked Kisame in the leg. Kisame fell to his knee.

"Who the hell?!"

One of the three imbeciles were about to stab Kisame in the back with a dagger but Kisame took out one of his katanas and stopped the man with his katana. Kisame sweep kicked the man and stood up, Kisame grinned and looked at the three men.

"You would attack from the back, like good bitches would, well, enough talk, my turn."

Kisame unsheathed one more katana and stared at the ground, he closed his eye's and thought of which attack to use.

"Ping. Pang. Boom."

The three words that Kisame had said were one of his attacks.

Kisame ran up to his opponent, while running at full speed he jumped into the air, shortly after he delivered a flying axe kick and then a follow up kick to the jaw. A mere moment after that Kisame unsheathed the katana in his right sheath and stabbed the larger opponent. After stabbing the opponent Kisame quickly jumped away from his opponent.

The larger opponent was stabbed in the heart, he was going to die, Kisame knew it. Kisame then turned his gaze to the other two bandits.

"I'll tell you why these imbeciles are chasing me, after the fight that is."

[marlord]

Getting away from all the commotion in the middle of town was the first and only thing on Mar's mind at the moment, not caring where he went. Carrying around the strange swordsman was a hassle, but none of this would have happened if he was taken out of the equation, Mar justified lunch as a suitable reward for such a predicament. Finally reaching a safe point, Mar stopped running and took a seat to gain his breath back. This was the first time Mar had been able to take in his surroundings, noticing he was in some strange forest on the outskirts of the town. Snapping him out of his daydream was the strange swordsman yelling at him.

"First off, why the hell did you drag me here and who the fuck are you?!"

The swordsman didn't seem generally angry, just a loud individual who had a colorful language, nothing to truly be worried about. Letting the swordsman vent Mar went back to his daydream, finally getting his time of relaxation, which he had hoped for earlier that day. During the swordsman ranting, Mar had heard a rustling in the bushes but passed it off as animals or something. The military wasn't stupid enough to truly chase after them, when the town was in such a commotion, and to Mar's knowledge no one of threatening value was on this island, so acknowledging that noise seemed meaningless to Mar, who was just hoping to let the commotion in the town to die down, and return to his rightfully deserved lunch by at least nightfall.

During the swordsman's ranting, and the shrimp's lounging the group of henchmen were trailing them and devising a plan in which they would jump the swordsman first, thinking he was the obvious threat. The henchmen jumped out from the woods, focusing their assault on the swordsman, kicked him to the ground and proceeded to stab him, but the swordsman was skilled enough to react accordingly and defend himself in the nick of time. The swordsman had reversed the situation, putting 1 of the 3 men on the ground and charging another, jumping into the air and kicking the henchman, finally fatally stabbing him. While the swordsman was being jumped, Mar had sat back and watched quietly. It wasn't the intention of Mar to be rude, which it may have been perceived from the swordsman's position, but it was the fact that Mar knew that either the swordsman was skilled enough to defend himself, or was stupid enough into provoking people into fight as he carried around those 3 swords, and not being able to protect himself. Either way, Mar had no sympathy for him, he chose the path of a warrior, so he should abide by it.

Content with watching from the sidelines Mar sat back and watched the battle unfold, Mar noticed the swordsman fatally stab the man, cringing at this sight, but not at seeing death, but for someone able to play with it so easily. Mar knew the situation could have been handled different with the capable skills of the warrior, but he choose to kill the man. Thinking back, it was pretty foolish to accompany this man, who Mar had known nothing about, and leaving himself open to someone who was neither friend nor foe. Suddenly the swordsman had said something that had peaked his curiosity.

"I'll tell you why these imbeciles are cashing after me, after the fighting that is."

What he said was truly trivial to Mar, but the way he said it sounded as if there was something much larger at stake then just this small fight. Grabbing his combat knives Mar unwrapped the chains on his right arm letting them dangle below him, Mar had decided to join in the fray, out of curiosity. Taking his battle stance, Mar began to take note of the situation and had realized that the man who had made fun of him before was one of the 3 henchman. Whether it be a stroke of lucky or misfortune could only be determined from the point of view, but Mar had just chuckled under his breath and began to unwrap his left handed chain wrap until it dangled beneath him.

"What are the odds of this? Trust me, your gonna regret that remark from earlier!" Mar exclaimed as he began to spin the chains in a vertical manner, letting the combat knives fly about as the chains directed them. Finally getting to the desired velocity, Mar took off in a dead sprint to his target as the knives spun cutting into the ground below, causing it to kick up into the air, supply a shroud for Mar's assault.

"Buzz Blade"

Off in a dead sprint for the man who had made fun of him earlier, Mar had nearly forgot about the 3rd henchman there was was charging at Mar, foolish enough to think he could stop him by attacking. Noticing this before the 3rd man's attack could connect, Mar forced the rotation of the chains to collide with the man's slash attack, causing the chain to wrap around the henchman's arm. With enough fineness, Mar had had rotated the chain so when the knife would inevitably connect with the man, it would be the broadside of the blade, hitting the man hard enough to knock him out.

"Hey, I'm oddly feeling generous right now." Mar had spoken to the 2nd henchman now, standing in place with the 3rd man hanging from Mar's right handed chain, while still spinning the left handed one. "Javelin throw!" Mar had yelled out as he motioned his chain in a throwing manner, using the spin to increase the speed of the throw, towards the 2nd henchman. Whether it was accuracy or luck, Mar had throw the knife to only graze the cheek of the henchman, having the knife collide into the tree a short distance behind him. "Now, get out here again, or else you'll experience worst things then death!" Mar had put on a grimace look, and a deadly stare to scare his opponent.

The henchman could only stand there quivering in fear. "We were told this would be a simple mission, with no resistance.... I DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR THIS!!!" The henchman shouted out in fear, as he took off in dead sprint further into the forest, hopefully to never be seen again.

"Hahaha, too easy." Mar had let out a laugh as he quickly pulled back on the left handed chain, pulling the blade out of the tree and catching it back on its return. "That should teach him to pick on me." Mar had exclaimed to himself, as if it was such a great accomplishment to scare a small time thug. Mar turned to the strange swordsman not sure whether to treat him as a friend or a foe, but he knew something was odd with the island, and the way the swordsman had spoken to him earlier. Finally deciding it was probably best to follow the swordsman, Mar began to speak. "The names Mar... Mar Mako."

Finally greeting the swordsman, Mar had walked up to him, dragging the poor henchman behind him. "We might be able to get some information out of him, if we play our cards right." Mar had nodded towards the henchman hoping to make use of him. "But before that, tell me whats going on here."

(Sorry for the long post, just began to type and couldn't stop )

[astrick]

"We were told this would be a simple mission, with no resistance.... I DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR THIS!!!"

The henchman shouted out in fear, as he took off in dead sprint further into the forest, hopefully to never be seen again. Kisame looked at the lone henchman breathing heavily on the ground and shivering in fear. Kisame knew they could get something out of this person, Kisame would spare him only if the person collaborated with Kisame that is."Haha, too easy. That'll teach them not to pick on me again."

Kisame grinned, he would get picked on in the future. Kisame guaranteed it.

"The names Mar... Mar Mako."

Mar Mako. Kisame had never heard of this person, Mar was probably a rookie pirate like Kisame.

"We might be able to get some information out of him, if we play our cards right."

Kisame nodded, he agreed with this kid. Kisame thought of that before Mar told him.

"But before that, tell me whats going on here."

Kisame nodded and thought of how to tell Mar what happened earlier and why Kisame was being chased.

"Listen. There's three kids that have been abducted and they are going to be tested on. I need your help to stop these people from testing on the kids. But the marines will be on the lookout for us and so will more of those pathetic henchmen."

Kisame then turned his gaze to the lone henchmen on the ground, the person had a deep cut on his left arm and numerous small cuts on his right leg. Kisame walked up to the person and immediately started asking him questions.

"What is your boss's name?"

"G-Gianguli R-Ricci.."

Gianguli Ricci. That was probably the name of the man that Kisame had seen earlier.

"I heard there was an underground cavern west of here, where is the exact location?"

"Near a dock, there's a cavern that has been abandoned for a decade or two. I have a family.. Please spare me.."

As we all know Kisame had a soft spot for innocent civilians, Kisame didn't let the henchmen go so easily though. He would keep him, he could give Kisame and Mar useful information on directions and where the children were stored.

"I'll let you go after we save the kids, you won't get hurt, trust me."

The person nodded slowly and with fear. Kisame told the man to guide Mar and Kisame to the underground cavern. The man did as told, while Kisame, Mar and the person navigated through Shimotsuki Village the marines looked as if they were looking for Mar and Kisame. Kisame glanced at a few marines while running, he now knew they were definitely talking about Mar and him. About ten minutes later Kisame, Mar and the person reached the underground cavern. The cavern was heavily guarded and Kisame couldn't take those people down by himself, Mar and him would have to use their brains or whatever they had of brains to their advantage. Kisame thought of a plan and in a mere four minutes he had thought of one.

"Listen, idiotic henchmen, you go up to those guys and tell them we're dead. While they are distracted, Mar and me will sneak into the underground cavern, kick some ass and save those children."

The plan was rather dumb but Kisame wanted to save those children.

"Listen. There's three kids that have been abducted and they are going to be tested on. I need your help to stop these people from testing on the kids. But the marines will be on the lookout for us and so will more of those pathetic henchmen."

Hearing this had shocked Mar, but not as much as one would expect. Mar had been on the island for a few days, a week at most, and had heard of some rumors about this, but nothing from the original source. Its a shame that Mar didn't investigate earlier, but nothing he could do about it now. Contemplating his mistakes, the swordsman continued to interrogating the hostage, gaining the information of the location of the hideout, and who the enemy boss was. Taking it a step further, the swordsman scared the hostage further into getting him to take us to the base.

The travel to the base wasn't that extraordinary, nor was the location of the base too difficult to find, but it was far enough out of town to keep people away. In the end, what was the purpose of this island, and with all the guards around and inside the base, what were these people up too with the kidnapped kids? Mar contemplated these questions on the travel there, but nothing seemed to come to mind, but he would find out soon enough. After several minutes of traveling the hostage stopped, pointing at a nearby cave and finally telling us the location of the base. Failing to tell us the base was heavily guarded, had pissed Mar off. Their were few options left for them. If they tried to force their way through, security would be sounded notifying the higher ups, and maybe pushing them to drastic measures, which was the last thing Mar wanted for these kids. So truly the only option they were left with was to sneak their way in, possibly take out the higher ups first, which would cause the infrastructure to collapse from under the enemies.

Looking over at the swordsman, Mar could tell he was thinking the same thing as well. "Listen, idiotic henchmen, you go up to those guys and tell them we're dead. While they are distracted, Mar and me will sneak into the underground cavern, kick some ass and save those children." The swordsman barked at the henchman, who followed the order to a T, in hopes of getting out of this terrible mistake he made alive. After a few moments of the hostage talking to the front guardsmen, he somehow convinced them to search the parameter, leaving Mar and Kisame an opportunity to enter the base. Watching the henchmen circle the base, out of sight, Mar took the chance and enter the base with Kisame following shortly after.

The base seemed larger on the inside then the outside, which surprised Mar, guessing this was the reason the enemies took this establishment as their base of operations. Getting a good look of the environment around him, Mar noticed the building immediately gave the heroes a choice to make. Two paths in front of them, Mar took a glace, left to right and back again. Mar knew instinctively that they were going to have to split up, and it matter not which direction he took, with the information he was given. Finally making his choice Mar took off in a dead sprint to the left hallway.

"Good Luck!" Mar shouted back at the strange swordsman only focusing on the path in front of him. After several minutes of traveling, it was probably the worst choice he could of made, taking the barracks side of the building. Making sure not to alarm anyone Mar took his time navigating the buildings, slowly and surely checking door to door, in search of those children. Finally entering a hallway with doors on each side and a final door at the end of the hallway, Mar decided to take the last door first, thinking if he was the mastermind of the operation, he would stick keep something interesting in that room. Slowly walking towards the door Mar made close note of the door, a large black door with weird engravings all along the side of it.Looking scary and ominous, Mar hesitated in opening the door but heard some conversation coming through the hallways in route of his location.

The only option Mar had, quickly opening the door and hiding inside to not be noticed, Mar failed to note his surroundings, which was a pitch black room.

"What the..." Mar looked around, unable to see anything, when suddenly the room lightened up from candles which periodically lite up in a circular motion around the room.

"Look who's come to play..." A strange voice called out, inwhich Mar knew he was in for a rough fight.

(I don't care which opponent I get, but i assume you want the head honcho. Just type something up for me and I go along with it.)

[astrick]

"Good Luck!"
Mar Mako shouted to Kisame as he ran into the pirate's base. Shortly after Mar entered the pirate's base, Kisame entered. As Kisame entered he noticed that the inside of the base was larger than the outside of the base. Kisame found that odd but pirate's did need a big base, especially for things like these. Kisame thought of what to do, there were two main captains. Gianguli Ricci and a lady named Candy. The base was not heavily guarded, only on the outside, which Kisame found odd. A minute and some odd seconds later Kisame caught up with Mar. Kisame saw that there were two doors, that meant they would have to split. Mar chose first, he went through the right door, which meant Kisame would have to go through the left door.

As Kisame walked through the left door he could hear a bit of conversation but as soon as he got a bit further into the room it went dead silent. The room was rather big and then Kisame heard a voice.

"So, you're the one that's trying to mess with our plans..? Hmm..?"

Kisame tensed, he looked around the room, the lights were on but he couldn't find the man, after a while of looking he noticed the man standing on a platform. The man laughed and Kisame tensed once again. The man jumped off the platform and stood a good ten metres away from Kisame. The two made eye-contact, it almost looked as if they weren't blinking.

"Well, I can't let you spoil our plans, so I guess you'll have to die here."

The man had a good build, it seemed as if he was a swordsman of some sort. The man had two swords and had black hair. He wore a robe and had a tattoo under his left eye that resembled a purple dragon.

Shortly after the short talk, Gianguli Ricci ran at Kisame, the man unsheathed one of his swords while running and Kisame unsheathed two of his katanas, the two men clashed in a close-combat battle, after a while of close-combat sword-fighting Kisame jumped back, preparing for his next attack.

"Ping. Pang. Boom."

Kisame ran up to his opponent, while running at full speed he jumped into the air, shortly after he delivered a flying axe kick and then a follow up kick to the jaw. A mere moment after that he unsheathed his katana in his right sheath and attempted to stab the opponent. Kisame was not able to hit his opponent but he was able to scrape him a bit which forced a bit of blood to come out. After that happened Kisame quickly jumped back.

"I thought you could do better than this.."

With that said Gianguli Ricci ran through another door. A few henchmen arrived and he told them something. Kisame figured out a bit of what they said.

"Hold. Him. Off. Start. Test. Drug."

Kisame figured out that they were going to start the testing, Kisame would have to hurry up. Kisame was just about to charge at the henchmen when a person that looked as if he was eight foot and some odd inches. Kisame stopped and tensed, he would have to fight a giant and three henchmen.

Well, this is the perfect way to end a day. Wouldn't you say?

[marlord]

"Look who's come to play."
The strange voice spoke from within the shadows of the room. It peaked his interest as it was an accent one usually didn't hear, but he couldn't worry about that now. Mar quickly jumped around grabbing for his knives and setting up his stance, when suddenly a young girl emerged from the shadows.

Is this one of the missing kids? Mar questioned to himself as the little girl stepped into the light, a short girl, about the same size as himself, with pale white skin. Seeing her, Mar quickly ran up to the little girl, abandoning his instincts as a warrior that were screaming at him that this wasn't a smart idea. "Are you ok? Well you don't look hurt. Hmm, I wonder why your here..." Mar quickly spoke out checking the little girl over, looking for wounds of any kind.

What is this idiot doing? The girl known as Candy asks herself. Candy wasn't that strong, and hadn't been in a lot of fights, but this was still strange to have her opponent walk up to her so casually and being helpful. This idiot thinks I'm a stolen child from the village... How old does he think I am? Candy began to think to herself as Mar observed her, getting a little ticked at his assumptions. Keep it cool, Candy. We can use this against him, and hopefully finish this in one move.

"Well it doesn't look like your hurt, but its strange your in this room. Well anyways lets get you out of here. This isn't really a place for little girls..." Mar had finished checking the girl over and had turned his back on her, observing the room, but with it being too dark the entrance wasn't easily seen.

Where does this idiot get off calling me kid?!? Becoming enraged at Mar's foolishness she was tempted to just hit him then and there but she knew she would obviously lose in a straight up fight. Cool off, I'm currently in control of the situation. I just have to wait for the opportune moment and strike. Then this idiot will get what he deserves. Candy tried to calm down, and the only thing not giving her away was that the room was too dark for Mar to notice her embarrassed blushing, and the enraged expression on her face. Just as she thought she was about to lose it, Mar turned around, looking for an exit. This is it! This idiot is making this to easy for me. Candy pulled out a dagger strapped to her thigh, thankfully unnoticed by Mar. Quietly walking up behind Mar, Candy quickly tried to thrust the dagger into Mar's back.

Something was definitely about the little girl, but Mar couldn't quite put his finger on it. The obvious fact was that the little girl was apart of the organization, but Mar's chivalrous upbringing and bias feelings had shrouded his judgement, thinking that she couldn't possibly be the enemy. Mar had continued to look around the room, but suddenly heard a change in movement behind him, as if someone was moving quickly. Accompanied with this, Mar knew all too well how a knife sounded in combat. Luckily, Mar dodged a fatal wound from the blade, but was grazed on his chest, under his arm, from reacting to slowly.

"What.." Blurting out the only thing he could think of, Mar was truly dumbfounded.

"God, I had this brainless twit in the palm of my hand, and its all ruined." Candy began to curse out under her breath. "Oh well guess its time for things to really begin!" Candy began to charge at Mar, but at this point Mar was ready. Jumping up to his feet, Mar quickly disarmed Candy as she approached him, and pushed her aside.

"Come on, I really don't want to fight you..." Mar sighed, pleading with the women, as he had no need to ever fight a women.

"Well it looks like this will be pretty one sided now won't it!" Candy shouted out to Mar, mocking him. Candy then quickly threw down a smoke bomb, shrouding the room in the thick haze.

"*Cough Cough* What is she up too?" Mar began to question himself but heard a snapping noise, as if a rope was being cut, from one point in the room, following by others traveling around the circular room. Suddenly something fell from the ceiling, directly behind Mar, thankfully not on him, or else he would have been smushed like a pancake. Turning around, Mar could get the brief glace at an object that looked like a small chandelier, but was interrupted by another falling object directly above him. Dodging the falling chandeliers, as if he were a marionette, Mar danced across the room for his life. Finally as the last chandelier fell, the haze was lifted and Mar could see the young women holding a katana with an imprinted cut on the wall, as if she used the sword on the wall and ran around the room, hugging the wall, quickly cutting the ropes.

"Damn it, How the hell did u make it out of that?..." Candy cursed out, sounding worried, but was interrupted when the door behind her opened up.

"Miss Candy! Is everything alright?!" Two henchmen emerged from the corridors, hearing the ruckus and investigating the situation.

"Ugh, I really hate relying on others, but I don't have much choice... Get him! He's an intruder trying to stop our plans!" Candy had originally spoken under her breath, but then shouted out to the men, commanding them to attack Mar.
