A Rookies Dream Begins(Black Fist Pirates)

[Menma]

Kane drifted along the sea, which became almost an ordinary day for Kane on his search to find some crew mates which has gone absolutely no where. Though Kane didn't seem to have quite the luck on his pirate journey he always had a cheerful attitude saying. "Well a new day brings new adventure." A saying he used quite often. He enjoyed the breeze and the smell of the ocean, quite ironic that the sea is could take his life if he fell in, as he is unable to swim. From his quite and relaxed position on his back lying down, he reached in his pocket taking out his brothers compass. "Okay a guy from the last island told me to head north to reach the next island, hope he wasn't lying." Kane said as he began to chuckle as a loud noise came from his stomach, which gave him a weird smiling expression as he softly scratched his blondish, sand colored hair over his hood. Kane was used to not eating for a day or so being on the sea "unprepared", but it still bugged him.

The compass was pointing north but a little to the east, Kane sat up as a breeze blew some sea water into is face making Kane weak for a few seconds. He took a glance in each direction to see if the island was anywhere near by, the sky was nice and blue with a few white fluffy clouds floating around. The sun was blazing but Kane it didn't bother Kane much, surprisingly as he was wearing a jacket and long shorts, but hey don't sweat the small stuff, right. In the distance northeast at about 2 o'clock he noticed a small boat, which seemed like a marine ship from what he noticed. "Hey a marine ship, maybe they'll give me directions or a map or better yet some food. Since I haven't became a big shot pirate yet maybe the won't think I'm one." Kane thought smirking thinking he had an amazing plan. But in reality they probably wasn't the best idea, Kane had a simple like view of the world which has made him seem somewhat stupid but who knows, maybe they could help him out. He took the two oars that were next to him and started to paddle toward the small ship. When he was about ten feet away he took a deep breath and let out a loud "Hey!" to tell them he was nearby once again not the best idea, but Kane isn't the best idea man either.

The lands and sea were plentiful of light. The sun seemed rather self centered today as its brilliant glows breached through the darkest of spots on this day. Nature seemed to have its own way fo gloating about its talents. A mass of purple flicking through a small wind that picked up. As the wind settled the hair going down on place of a woman back. The hair long and wavy. The woman was tall wearing the traditional uniform of a marine. Her marine hat on her head .

The woman normally hated the hat that had capitol letters plastered it spelling "MARINE". This time was a small exception. The bill of the hat blocked some of the bright sun rays from her eyes. She can rest assured that her long eyelashes and the sky blue mascara placed on her eyelids would be safe. A light medium pair of eyes gazing upon a wooden deck of a ship.

It was a small marine ship. In truth this was the woman's first official day as a marine. Even after showing her strength and value demanding the marines to take her in a few years back. They seemed slow or hesitant. Either way she didn't care as now she was in. Her secret innermost desires and goals can be chased now throughout the lifespan of this career. The boat rocking gently from the waves of the sea. An abnormal sound coming from the distance.

It was not the sound of the sea. No. This was the sound of a human. Walking over with black high heels clacking on the deck. It was the only modification the woman, Diamond, made to her uniform. Looking over she would see a man in the sea. He was in a...paddle boat? How odd to be out here in such a drabby thing. "You pedestrian." she called out to him. "What are you doing in such a sea with that boat." she asked thinking it wasnt truly safe with such a thing.

Remembering she was a marine now. This man was to her a civilian most likely. She couldn't just approach him in such a manner. She sighed. She will take to take things more professionally from now on. "Do you need our help sir." she called out to him. Why else would a man be out here alone, braving the waves coming towards a marine ship. She thought it was rather odd but she had to help.

[althan]

"Ah dammit. I was hoping to just kill that marine commander and live without any more problems. Never thought I'd have to become a pirate." Althan thought, as he sat on the front deck of the small Marine vessel he had recently stolen from the Marine Fleet at K-9 Island. He groaned in frustration, as he looked at the sky with his ocean blue eyes, his hands behind his head, his hair blowing in the wind. He shook his head. "Well. I guess I'd better find a crew to stick with." He mumbled to himself, figuring that he'd survive longer with a crew rather than on his own. But he wasn't a leader, he didn't want to make a crew. He could lead for a little, but he prefered someone who knew what they were doing rather than an uncertified shipwrit leading a ship.

Sitting up now, Althan looked around. There wasn't much around, other than a small row-boat and a MARINE ship. Wait, Marines? Crap! Leon immediatly lowered his sails, that held the marine logo plastered on them in blue paint, as he started immediatly catching the wind and sailing behind the island nearby, away from the marines. Luckly for him, the Marines hadn't seemed to have spotted him. He sighed in relief, and docked on the other side of the Island now, as he stepped off the boat people stared at him. He didn't look like a Marine, so why was he on a marine vessel?

Eventually Althan stared telling people that he was stranded on a dilapitaded boat and that the Marines lended him their small boat to get to the shore. Luckly that didn't seem too far-fetched, so they belived him. Althan, being hungry and thirsty, then proceeded to make his way to a local resturaunt.

After a few moments Kane got a response in a light voice. A beautiful women in a marine outfit appeared, but Kane didn't care much for women he was way to childish to think about that stuff. "Um yes I do... I got lost looking for the nearby island and got lost, could you give me some directions or food?" Kane asked smiling and laughing on the inside. His boat rocked back and forth as the waves collided with his smallish boat, he was close to letting out a large series of laughter but managed to keep it in.

Kane's eyes widened as he remembered something that could blow his hole cover, his gloves. He quickly placed them behind his head as they had his idea for his jolly roger on them, Kane hoped she didn't see them, he was starved and wanted to just get some food, going to prison before he even started would defiantly suck. While waiting for her reply, Kane grew an odd thought staring at the women and her ship. "Why would a marine be all alone, did she get in some kind of fight and she was the only survivor... oh well as long as I get to the next island soon I guess it doesn't matter." Kane snapped out of his thoughts as a breeze almost knocked off his hood and a wave got his pants wet, making him feel somewhat weak.

Creaking could be heard as both of the boats swayed within the waves of the oceans waters. The boats staying on top of the water doing all the work while the humans stayed on top. The womans eyes gazed down upon the male before her in his boat. Judging him while thinking of what to do. He was alone in this boat and sea. It seemed like a rather odd situation for her. For him to be by himself in the sea in such a boat. Then again. Things happen all the time where weird situations could happen. It wasn’t really for her to decide either way. She was a marine now. A marines job is not only to fight against the oncoming wave of pirates cruising the seas. It was also to help and protect the people. People who wanted to live out normal lives as citizens and not pirates. The man did something weird. His arms moved around. Taking off…gloves? She only saw the gloves. After observing him she noticed him getting wet. Water probably got in his gloves. Not a comfy feeling she knew.

She watched as the waves pushed his little boat back and forth. The sea seemed to have a particular liking in bullying his boat. He was just a lost young man wanting directions. The nearest place is her hometown of Micqueot. She could give the lad directions there. But with him in that boat it wouldn’t give her a good feeling. Her conscienceless wouldn’t really allow that. Plus she was in a particular situation herself unknown to the young man. She pondered on the matter and thought on an idea. Her black heels clacked on the wooden deck. Unseen to the boy on the woman’s right ankle hair began to grow out wildly. The hair would grow out in particular size and fashion. Giving ff a snake like look and shape as it continued to grow in length. The purple hair that snaked it way out of her ankle began to change color.

Fading from its original purple hue the hair began to fade. Growing whiter and paler losing its brilliance. “Ok sir I can help you. I wouldn’t feel right allowing you to leave in that boat. With the waves teasing you it could go down soon. The nearby city of Micqueot is nearby.” she said to him. Looking down the deck of the boat. Perfect. The snake like hair grew to about a 100 feet long maybe a little longer. The hair detaching itself from her ankle landing on the deck. “Excuse me a moment as I prepare for you.” she said taking a few steps away from his sight.”Kami Nuimono – Nawa (Hair Sewing - Rope)” she whispered. The hair began to shift as all of the hair strands began to weave together. Interweaving around the strands and soon forming a tightly made rope. The rope snaked its way around the ships main masts and secured itself tying itself.

The other end of the rope snaking its way to the her right hand. The click clacks of her heels could be heard as she walked over to the young mans sight again. “I’ll help you on the sole condition that you come onboard and sail with me to Micqueot. You see I got on board before all my partners and for whatever reason the boat left. I haven’t been trained yet on how to steer a boat. So I’ve been out here but I do know where the city is.” she explained to him. The end of the rope she held began to form into the hook of a sharp harpoon. She made the hair denser to make it tough. Diamond was a Hair Woman able to control her hair to her will. Lastly she changed the texture of the hair. To make it feel rough like a real rope would be. With it feeling and looking like a real rope he would have no choice but to believe it so.

She was a secretive woman. She didn’t want everybody to know of her powers. She would rather go to great lengths to hide it. She wanted to raise in the ranks of a marine before letting people know of her power. If she became a Lieutenant or captain and people thought of her strong without devil fruit powers. If she suddenly revealed she had powers people would think of her as even stronger. She raised the end of the harpoon shaped rope and threw it at the boat. She aimed specifically for the boat. The harpoon ended rope should crash through the boats flooring according to her guess. “As I said I can’t let you go in that boat. Its much to unsafe. Now grab hold of the rope and climb on board. I’ll help you.” she said not wanting to leave the man any other option. She saw this as the best way to help him out.

[Menma]

Kane was a little surprised that she would help him out so easily, well he wasn't a pirate so why wouldn't she, if she is a marine it was her duty. But Kane wasn't to focused on the as the women threw a rope at him. He held a tight grip on the rope and started to go toward the marine boat, sweat started to bead down his face as one fall could be the end. Though Kane rarely showed fear his master taught much better then that. "Hey thanks for your help lady, I'm not much of a navigator, but a guy told me at the last island to head straight south and I'd get there pretty fast. If we follow my compass we should be okay," Kane always kept a big goofy smile on his face, he never really had a reason to smile so much but his simple view on the world made it quite easy.

After the shimmy toward the boat, he jumped off onto the deck and let a large sigh of relief. "Hey this is kind of a small boat... did you get robbed or beat up and you were the only survivor?" Kane had a knack for saying whatever he wanted before thinking, which probably wasn't for his best interests but he was a guy who liked to hear people stories, like he used to hear as a kid, heck it was one of those stories that made him want to become a pirate.

With him helping her back to the proper land she can begin proper marine work. She will have to properly apologize to the higher ranks on the situation. She didn't know that this would have escalated nto this. She hopes that she wouldn't be reprimanded much from this or at least not to much. This of course for her was purely unintentional. Yet still what a careless way for her to start off her career. It was a disgrace to her. But she stared at the male. However there's a small silver lining in all of this.

At least she can say she helped out a lost citizen in all of this. If this is truly redeeming to the higher ups. She stared at him as he climbed up the rope and finally making it on board to her own vessel. Now they can set sail finally back to where she needed to be. After she spat out to the directions to the island."Yes yes. I said that Already that I would point us the way to Micqeuot." knowing about those directions. She did after all drift away from the city so she knew which direction it was in.

While Diamond was mentaly prepared to go back the boy said something that threw off her calm. Asking if she got robbed or beat up. W-what? Whats wrong with him."How rude! Were you not listening to a single word I said earlier. I explained my situation to you already." she criticized him. She already told him the marine boat she boarded sailed off on its own. The people who probably docked it didn't anchor it or tie it to the docks or something for all she knew. Yet she didn't like how he said that even after her explanation.

Her hand waved over the rope she made. Slightly below the deck the rope began to dissipate at a certain spot. The two ends breaking off. The other half of the rope falling down. She didnt care for his small dingy little boat playing a game of tag-along. It could drown to the sea depths now. A few clacks were made as she walked away from the edge. "Oh I wouldnt consider myself weak enough to be robbed or beaten so easily. If I were I wouldnt be standing on a un-scarred ship." she said to him as a proper response. "I will prepare some tea. All you need to do is just steer us back to Micqeuot back that way." she pointed in the direction of the city when she said "that way" as she opened a cabin door to prepare some tea. If this boy dared to do something to the ship or her, he will surely regret it when she showed her true strength.

[Menma]

Kane felt rather idiotic asking a question she already answered, he has a knack for saying the wrong things but this was something he hadn't done before. "Sorry bout that I forgot you told me. And sorry for judging the marines strength from just noticing one person on a ship, and your strength as well." A nervous smile went across his face, which usually happens when he is sorry or nervous off course.

Kane did as the marine women said and made sure they stayed on course, wouldn't want to mess up and lose there way back to Micqeuot. Kane yawned as the nice sea breeze hit him quite hard knocking off his hood, he usually kept it on around new people but let it fall when he gets more used to them. He wondered how long it would take to get back, he wasn't much for small talk especially with a marine, but he was bored and needed something to do. He got bored quite easy when he's sitting still, he always needs to be on the go, that makes it hard for people to go with him.

Kane didn't really enjoy tea that much but it did seem quite calming at the moment, it might take his mind off of messing up. "Hmm, what to discuss with a marine, maybe how the job works... no that's boring, guess I could start out with names." Kane waited for the marine women to come back, so this boredom would end.

[Mist]

Closing the door behind her as she entered the room. After entering the small room the woman continued to walk forward. She wanted to prepare some tea. She was a bit thirsty herself. However that was not the sole reason for her wanting to make some tea. She thought preparing the drink for the young man out there would be a kind gesture and a proper thank you. After all he was bringing the boat back to the shore for her. At this rate she should be back on shore quickly, hopefully. For now she will just have to continue leaving the redirection of the boat of the young man out on the ships deck.

As for tea preparation her hand extended out to the tea pot but then retracted. Why serve hot tea on a day with the sun still smiling down upon the lands like right now? A more cooler refreshing tea is more appropriate. Getting materials and ingredients ready as she had the perfect concoction in mind ti make. Pouring cool water into tea cups. Getting things prepared. Now things seem to be set as the ea was finally ready as sitting in the two tea cups before her were red-pink like liquid. Placing both cups on small plates then pinking those plates up.

Heading over to the door holding both plates she would quite open the door. Knowing the door was closed the young man on the other side couldn't possibly see this small muse of her devil fruit power. Placing one hand near the door knob hair began to grow out from her wrist. Extending and curling its way towards the door knob wrapping around it. The hair giving a twisting tug the unlock the door. The quickly hair receded back becoming far much more shorter until her wrist was purely smooth and not a single strand shown. Nudging the door open with her right foot.

The door opened out as she began to walk back into the sunlight. Holding both servings of tea she looked around the deck to see where to place them. Just a barren deck with a few barrels off to the side. Walking over to the barrels she gave it a kick to the main mast. The barrll rolling then stopping once collided with the mast. Walking over she gave it another kick for the sideways barrel as it flew up a bit before landing back on top of the deck vertically. She of course having a very nonchalant face as this was all normal. "Tea is ready. Tea is usually meant to relax but this tea is meant to re freshen and energize the drinker." she said as she placed his tea cup and plate down ready for him when he wants. Diamond walking off to the side lifting the cup from the plate and taking a sip."We should be arriving shortly at this rate." she said after seeing their location in the sea.

[Menma]

Well that was a relief, he felt kinda uncomfortable hanging around with a marine but soon they'll end up at micqueot and this will be done. He immediately went for the tea and took a large sip, he expected it to be warm but this tea definitely tasted more refreshing. Unfortunately for Kane he drank to fast and started to chock. Luckily after a few hits to his chest he began to breathe normally again, he let out a sigh of relief and went back to steering.

He figured this would be the best time to talk to pass the time. He placed his hand over his forehead and moved his hair back some, he realized he was sweating, a lot. He took another sip of tea which calmed him down some making the sweat go away. "I guess we haven't properly introduced ourselves. My name is Kane Kosuda and i'm gonna be k..." He stopped himself before saying to much, he didn't know why those words started to come out but he shook his head and went back to his normal expression.

"Umm, and your name is?" Kane was getting more or more nervous, he is alone a ship with a marine and he has almost given himself out to be a pirate numerous times. Then he realized he still had his devil fruit powers and his martial arts, there's only one marine women, even if it was a man Kane was pretty sure he could take them down, after that realization it definitely made him feel better.

[Mist]

The ever shifting waves of the endless blue color beneath them. Just doing as it pleases. The sea had a mind of its own It has always done what it wants despite the objects of who sails upon it. This day however the sea seemed to be rather calm in its manners. This was a good thing for many reasons. The main reason is just for good sailing from point A to point B. A white cup lifted upwards levitating closer as pink lips sipped down the liquid contents of a refreshing tea. The flavor of this drink is really perfect for the current sailing mood as well the woman noted.

A crisp sweet taste and yet a nice fruity after taste that seems to give off a certain energy. A drink for those looking to be renewed and vigorous. It did that job quite well too. A very nice tea that give her a new found spirit for the day. Making her feel that even if she gets chastised by marine higher ups that this day wont be bad after all or at least that was the hopes for the day. Her blue eyes staring out at the equally blue waves of the ocean before her.

A abrupt noise started to come into her ears to break the moment. Turning around to find the young man before her choking on the tea. She took a few steps closer to see him hitting his chest to get the liquid through his esophagus properly. It must have worked as he did stop. "Poor dear. Tea was meant to relax you not cause stress. Try drinking more carefully maybe." she said unsure of why he choked not that she cared.

After taking another sip of the vibrant tea the young man introduced himself as Kane Mosuda. Hrmm. He was about to say another line but stopped. He was gonna be what? Oh well its probably best to leave that for now."Yes how could I forget. My Name is Diamond of the La'Mode family." sh said as she check over the horizon."Ahh." she said as she saw sight of something."I can see our destination. We shall be there shortly. Just keep going forward please." she said. Placing the tea cup back on its plate. Gazing at Micqeuot off in the distance as the drew ever closer.

[Menma]

"Diamond La'Mode." The name shook around in his head for a few minutes, it sounded like she came from an important family but Kane didn't care much for anything that he didn't understand.

Knowing that they were in sight of Miqcueot gave Kane a sense of relief, not that he didn't mind having a normal conversation with a women, but he didn't really like sitting still and having a boring conversation, and she was a marine, pretty much a pirates main enemy other than other pirates but technically he wasn't a pirate just yet he was just calling himself one until he got a crew.

The style of the village seemed like it was a quiet and elegant place not really filled with pirates he would think, but he was already heading there so he had no choice. He went back to to steering though they probably wouldn't get lost, but with Kane around anything can happen, though he is able to go straight without messing up.

"Micqueot looks like a beautiful place, if you don't mind can you tell me a little about it, though try not to be to literate it kinda goes over my head sometimes." Kane rubbed the back off his head, kinda saying he was a little stupid but they probably wouldn't see each other again so he didn't care much.
