Captain Kuro Event

[Kurosaki]

(this is open to all those that signed up for the event. we currently have no more open slots but there will be another event soon!)

For eight whole years they had been under the thumb of Arlong, paying taxes just for the right to contine to live. Till "those guys" had come and defeated him, freeing the people of the village and the person that they had cherished secretly from their confines. They were free. It had been like a miracle. Yet, at the same time, there were still forces working against them. Things weren't as bright as they seemed. Scheming took place in the darkness. Evil itself seemed to be attracted to the quaint little place. Not to mention that their first saviors were far out in the Grand Line, far too much distance away for them to help this time even if the danger was something that stood out.

Instead, however, no one really seemed to even notice the proximity of the destruction of their way of living that was so eminent. In fact, it was disguised so greatly that they looked evil in the face almost everyday now and still took no notice of it. Perhaps they were blinded by happiness and new sense of accomplishments. Whatever the reason, however, there was one person that had finally seen for himself what the evil really was. But now he was dying.

A ragged breath and the man, clutching his side as crimson liquid seeped in between his fingers, staggered and fell to the sandy pathway, kicking dust up as he struck the ground. Blood had marked his trail from the town's charity center all the way to the middle of Conomi Village. It was quite a distance, for the center was on the very far outskirts, but he had made it a good ways. Only now, he doubted that he could go on. Rasping slightly, the man tried to dig at the ground to find support, most likely to use to help him stand up.

Only the pain was so great from multiple slashes on his person that he just couldn't manage it. Instead he remained laying face down on the ground in the middle of the pathway. His gaze came up as though he sensed someone approaching and he reached up as though to grab them. He had something vitally important to say before he slipped away.

<sub>After being at sea for three days Sehetepibre felt terrible. In his hurry and enthusiasm he had forgotten to pack food, only water and one barrel at that. The time felt like it had been passing forever and he hadn't seen a single island thus far, until today!

Taking a few seconds to peer up from his relaxed state on the port side of the ship, Sehetepibre rubbed his eyes in amazement. He could see green land! Finally! A place to get some food and find some Nakama for his quest to obtain the 'One Piece.' His rusty metal boat slowly chugged towards the port, docking at number 5. Sehetepibre crawled to the edge and used his abilities to make a set of wind stairs slowly build up in front of him that lowered onto the dock. He stretched hard before pacing down them, each one he had previously stepped on dissipating into many tiny wind particles. As he took the final step onto the cobbled dock, the ship instantly broke apart into the original metal pieces that had been used to make it. They sunk into the shallow dock due to the raft being made poorly

Sehetepibre grinned widely, thinking to himself about how cool that must've looked to anyone around, sadly... No one was insight. At least that idea worked, guess I better find a place to get some food before I starve... He walked a few meters into the distance, to notice a sign to a town which he failed to read from this distance. The only distinguishable thing was a man that was bleeding on the ground. Thinking it was best to help the man as quickly as possible....Djer ran towards the man kneeling down asking "Are you ok Pops ?.... " looking at the blood that was oozing out "Guess not"</sub>

[Kurosaki]

Someone did happen to come along. It was like a miracle to the injured man. He would be able to tell the terrible secret before slipping away. "Kuro! He tricked us all... you must stop him!" he rasped before bursting into a coughing fit. Blood trickled out of his mouth slowly. He could feel himself slipping already. There wasn't enough time to explain it all. He could only hope that the stranger was willing to help and wasn't just one of Captain Kuro's minions. So much for charity. The man's vision blurred dangerously and as he began to fade he made a grab for the stranger's leg as though to hold him still. The grip was so weak, however, that he wasn't even sure he had managed it.

"D... don't let him... get away... with murder!" he gasped before shuddering violently. "I... it's enough... that we went through this before! KURO! Kiisama!" There was nothing else that he could say. The last few grains of sand slipped out of his hourglass and the man collapsed at the boys feet, unmoving. The last wheeze of air esape his lips and death set in. Somehow, even though nothing had been resolved the man felt, as he realized he was dying, that he was at peace. The image of the town pulling together and taking down the villian was the last one that he imagined. A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth and remained there even after his heart stopped.

---

Meanwhile, a thin figure stood in the shadows just outside the Conomi Island charity center. Thin fingers held away from himself, he pushed up on his spectacles as a chuckle escaped his lips. Things had gotten close to being thrown off course but now everything was back to the original plan. There was no one, the shadowy figure felt, that could stop him now. That man had just been lucky that he had figured it out but Captain Kuro had put a stop to him before he could tell anyone. Though the man had managed to escape into town, it was only a matter of time before he died. It was messy, surely, but who would believe that the sweet innocent man, Kuro, could be the killer? Everyone in Conomi Village trusted him now. Oh, this felt so sweet to the manipulating Captain.

<sub>" Come on Pops.....stop the playing" Sehetepibre said while shaking the lifeless body of the old man.....He couldn't believe it , the old man had died right in front of him and the red crimson liquid oozed out of the man and ran along the street soaking the bottom of Djer's boot.... but before that he left his last cryptic message with Djer.....Kuro !!! Kisama!! and Murder!! were the words that resonated in his head...What did all of that mean and who was Kuro or Kisama ?.....The rather cherry upbeat of a boy Djer was now holding a moment of silence for the old man....

Sehetepibre knelt down beside the old man and closed his eyes and wishing him a safe journey to the after world hoping that he would find nirvana.But he didn't want to leave the old man's body in such a place.With respect for the dead Djer raised the bloodied body of the old man and slouched him on his back as if it were a piggy back ride shouting out "SOMEONE HELP.....I NEED SOME HELP RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!! " with all of his might slowly moving towards one of the houses in the village with the bloodied old man on his back not wanting to leave his battered body in the middle of the street...</sub>

[cross]

<sub>Cross was sitting on a sturdy branch of a big tree, wrapping a pile of leaves in her coat for a makeshift pillow. With a tired yawn, she lay down with one leg locked on the branch, and thought about what could be the fastest way to get off that island. Adventuresome as she was, she didn't like walking aimlessly for too long lost in a huge and quiet forest where nothing much happens. She just hated boredom.
Resigning herself to drowsiness, she closed her eyes and waited for sleep to come.


"SOMEONE HELP.....I NEED SOME HELP RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!! "

"What the..?" She sat up and looked toward where she thought she heard the voice. Tree trunks. She climbed up a high tree and saw only the canopy of many more trees, with not even a sign of smoke present in the low sky.

"I'm sure I heard..." Not wanting to dismiss an opportunity to find something interesting, she quickly made her way through the forest at full speed.

After a minute of running, she got to a village and looked around enthusiastically, oblivious to any tiredness she had before. It looked like any normal village, only this one was particularly shabby.

Then, from the corner of her eye, she saw a unconscious and bloody man being carried on someone's back as if he was having a dandy little piggy-back ride. Or as if he was meat being carried to the market. Or as if it was an alien's body being hauled to the Bureau of Technology. Before she let her imagination take her to weirder places, she approached the man carrying the space cadaver and confronted him.

"Dude, what the heck did you do to that guy??"</sub>

[ias]

<sub>"Huh" Djer said upon the woman's question "Ohhh Oiisan....He's injuried badly..." with a sad expression on his face "He maybe dead already....No....He's already dead for sure....But i didn't want to leave him in the streets like that.....So could you help me call the villagers...I think that's the most we can do for this old man " The man with the black hat replied......With that said Djer continued to shout for help from the villagers hopefully for one to come out and see what all the commotion was about...

The old man's body was lifeless and devoid of any feelings yet Djer felt a sense of obligation to the man to get him to the villagers since that was his aim when he collapsed in the village...Glancing back at the lady with the reddish brown hair..."Hold him for abit....I'll make them come out even if i have to use force.. " resting the old man's body on the ground...

Sehetepibre looked for the closest house, one that wasn't preoccupied and looked run down and finally found one and pointed his palm at the house and muttered under his breathe "Bolt " with a huge arc of lightning devastating the path in front of him destroying the house completely with the additional effect of setting it on fire.....With this now the villagers had to come out unless they wanted the village to be completely burnt down...</sub>

[cross]

_{"Oiisan....He's injuried badly..."}

[Oh good. At least he wasn't trying anything funny with that poor beat-up guy. Moreover, he's even trying to help him out..,]
<sub>She thought to herself. She trusted him right then and there, and had no qualms with it since she was very good with reading people. More importantly, there was a man on the verge or death [and that's the best they could hope the guy's condition was as of now] in great need of help right away.

The man wearing a black hat asked her to hold the guy.</sub>
"Sure." <sub>She took the man and swung him over her shoulder like she would a sack of rice [gentleness was not one of her best attitudes]. Carrying the man, she turned to look for the inn, which was what any sane person would do in that kind of situation.
The man suddenly said a word.

One word. "Bolt." And a whole house was engulfed in flame quick as the lightning bolt that had struck it.

Had her cold silver eyes been able to easily show emotion they would have widened, and had given an alternating look at the house and then the guy.. Instead, she dropped the injured man and said</sub>
"Nice.."

_{But a more rational side of her took over} "Hey.. the people here are gonna be pretty pissed, this place is squalid enough as is."

_{She felt the blood of the man on the ground seeping into the material of her shoe, as she had carelessly dropped him on her foot.}
"Right."
<sub>She adjusted the man and checked his pulse. Either it was very weak, or he really was dead.

It was a good thing that the tattooed man's "plan" had worked; some people were coming out of their houses now. Although they looked both furious and confused, at least now the guy would get help.</sub>

[Kurosaki]

(Cross, your character should still be in Loguetown. You have to leave Loguetown and then sail on the Open Seas. It's set up like a story line. It's alright since this is an event but in the future, make sure to keep to a timeline, okay? Thanks!)

"Just what do you think you're doing?" shouted one of the villagers that had come running out first. Fear and anger was plastered on his face as well as remembrance. This hadn't been the first time that their village had been threatened. It seemed that it also wouldn't be the last. Already a spear was in his hands.

Peace might have come to the island since "those guys" had rescued them from the terrible control of Arlong and the other fishman, but the past could never be completely behind them. These villagers were not going to let history repeat itself. At least, knowingly. It seemed terrible but by a bizarre twist of fate they were actually falling into the same terrible cycle with a new enemy.

"W... what did you do to Aidan-san!" cried the same man as he pointed his sharped spear at both the person that sent lightning at their houses as well as the woman carrying Aidan, the dead man. Behind him, more people were gathering while others fetched water and attempte to put the fires out. It didn't take much effort but there would need to be some repairs done in the future.

"How dare you come to our village and do something like this! Right after Arlong did all those things... unforgivable!" cried another villager. "Aidan-san... Aidan-san was a good man! He worked in the charity every chance that he got. He didn't deserve to be hurt... or murdered!" Things weren't certaintly not going to go well for the either the person that had found the old man or the one that had stumbled into the situation. Right now it would take a lot of quick words to calm down the enraged villagers. Perhaps not even that would be enough. In their eyes, the two were already tried and had been found guilty.

[ias]

<sub>" What the hell !!!!" Djer said being accused by the villagers that he and the mysteriously lady were the ones that killed the old man....And in fact if they were ones that killed the old man why would they still be around the village Djer thought for a split second laughing in his head that these villagers might be stupider than how they looked...But enough joking aside....Djer began to explain himself to the villagers and how he got to meeting the old man and left out the cryptic message that the old man had given him before he died...He wasn't sure if he could trust everyone so he made up a lie to get some answers " So thats how it is "...Has he finished taking a breathe before he continued "I heard of this famous Kisame and Kuro...Who are they ? " Djer said lying out of his ass all though he wasn't a very good liar and it showed .....

But has the villagers got around to answering his question ,he just remembered that he had met a beautiful young lady but didn't even realize it and was more focused on the old man at the time...Walking towards Cross in a proud and vulgar yet elegant manner Djer stood right in front of her and said " Whats your name " With both his hands groping the young lady's breasts .......* Ohh these feel good...I wonder what size these are...Maybe a B Cup... I have to ask her when we're in bed * Djer thought has he asked the question slipping into his own fantasy world with him and Cross on the Bed ........That's enough of that now kiddies....</sub>

[cross]

<sub>[Kurosaki guess I misinterpreted that post you had about the timeline sorries >_< Will play nice next time~]



"Just what do you think you're doing?"
shouted one of the villagers that had come running out first.
Yep. All of them looked like cornered dogs who wouldn't hesitate to fight and even die for this village.</sub>
[Well.. this is to be expected... Geez, this guy must be really dense. What kinda of plan was--]

_{Just then, the obtuse man started to approach her with a dazed and maniacal look on his face. This..couldn't be good. She anticipated an attack as she let her hand graze on the hilt of A Nameless One, not shifting her stately posture.}
[Damn. And I thought he was a good guy too. Is he really going to attack?..]

_{That man asked for her name.}
"Huh." _{This was really not the tim--
She insinctively put her arm on her chest as the creepy man reached for something he would regret very dearly.}


"WHAT THE FLYING F-UCK!?!!!"

_{The blade of Cross' dagger was aimed directly at his jugular.}
"You just dug your own grave right there. Bastard"


_{He still had that dopey look on his face. She shuddered at what he might be thinking, as he kept molesting her arm.
With no hesitation, she punched him squarely on the chest, sending him staggering backwards with a cough. Everyone else in the village, including the dying/dead man that she had wanted to save, had been forgotten.
She walked toward the tattoed man, intent on making him suffer to his last breath before she does the world a favor and kill him off.}

[Kurosaki]

To say that the villagers were less irritated might have been jumping to conclusions even though they did all seem to listen to the stranger's explanation about stumbling across Aidan just as he was passing away from his wounds. It still didn't make any sense to them though. Who would want to hurt such an innocent and benevolent man? To them, Adian was like a Sage. He had practically done nothing but good his entire life. For someone, for anyone, to want to harm him was unthinkable. Especially in a village as close as Cocoyashi was.

"Kisama? Are you playing some kind of joke kid? That's a cuss word! Not something famous!" cried one of the villagers, clearly not amused that the stranger had used such a term next to someone, namely Kuro, that they saw so highly of. "What are you playing at anyway? Just give Aidan-san to us and get out of here. We don't take kindly to people like you!"

The words were emotional, spirited, and well thought out by one of the male villagers. However, they seemed to fall on deaf ears for, oddly enough, the stranger had wandered toward the lady and had reached out toward her with a strange look of infatuation on his facade. "Oi! Oi! Pay attention to us, you jerk!" all of those outside said in unison, shocked looks on their faces as they witnessed the girl attempt to punch the man backward. "Oi, you dropped Aidan!"

"I don't know why you two have come here but enough games. Leave now! Trying to burn down our homes and then insulting Kuro who's done nothing but good for this village... that's unforgivable!" One villager stepped out followed by two more, coming toward the lady to attempt to retrieve their friends limp form from the ground as the one spoke. They were planning their attack now. If those two didn't shape up, they would feel the full force of Cocoyashi. Genzo himself would probably be there any minute...

(Btw, Cross, watch it with attacks. If you try to punch Ias' character you have to say that Cross attempted to push him otherwise your controlling his character. Please and thank you! EDIT: You too Ias!)

[ias]

<sub>Djer staggered back a good couple yards and was shocked to find out the hard way that the woman packed such a punch but it was well worth it for groping her soft medium sized breasts.....But unfortunately for him the young lady was threatening his life with violence to which he had a slight smirk ......He had a crazy thought, play fight with Cross and grope her some more...Djer's attention was still centered on Cross until he heard that this Kuro person was to be a benevolent character and Kisama was a curse word...But he was sure what he heard from the old man and glanced back at Cross who was preparing to attack "Please don't attack...Please " Djer said begging for his life with a smirk on his face and apparently on his knees hugging Cross's leg rubbing against it lost in his perverted thoughts again before he felt the killing intent of the villagers in which he got serious....

Djer stood up and looked at the villagers with an evil and devious smirk on his face responding to there killing intent towards him "You wanna fight ?......If that's the case...So be it....I wont be holding back even if you guys are just civilians...Im a pirate after all ".....Djer was quite pissed that he had to be fighting some worthless villagers who weren't even grateful for him helping the old man out and then wanted to attack him which angered him more....His face was red with anger and was about to attack one of the villagers but calmed himself down thinking that if he attacked them he wouldn't be able to solve the mystery of Kuro and Aedan....So to put everything to rest Djer went on his knees "Please forgive my rash behavior...I just want to fulfill that old man's last request " Djer said, humbly apologizing to the villagers</sub>

[cross]

_{(^ my good Djer, you have been molesting a nice soft arm for a minute an a half with your imagination running way too wild, just so you know xD)}



[This guy must have some sort of personality disorder.]
<sub>One minute he's acting like a hero, then a terrorist, then a total maniac, and now a humbled, begging man -- all in a span of 2 minutes max.

She decided he was just too troublesome and annoying to cooperate with. She walked toward the dying(or dead) man, still on guard for the maniac who might do something unforgivable again without warning.
She swung over her shoulder the man the villagers called 'Adian', and walked toward them. She had no care what they thought of her. As far as she was concerned, once she confirms that the poor soul was either saved or dead right from the get-go, she was outta there.</sub>


"I just got here a few minutes ago and saw that guy already carrying this 'Adian' all bloody and beat-up. No idea what he did to him, but if you guys want to wager on the slim chance that he'll be saved, you better do something now."
<sub>She extended her arm as she presented them the body like a sack of potatoes.
She was clearly pissed. If anything, her eyes just screamed "Shut up and do as I say."

As much as she was against killing, she thought that if they'd keep being stubborn she might lose her temper and not be able to help but massacre the whole village right after giving the maniac a slow and painful death.</sub>

[Kurosaki]

Once the stranger was finished attempting to attack that woman, which seemed to be failing anyway, he turned toward the villagers. His look was one full of evil intentions, they could tell. It was reminiscent of the gleam that had been in the Fishman's eyes everytime he walked among them, looking down his rather long and incredibly powerful nose at them. All of them tensed up immediately and the ones that had attempted to retrieve Aidan frooze in their tracks. When he told them that he a pirate and that he wouldn't hesitate to fight back, the ones that wore armed seemed to grip their weapons tighter. "We... we won't back down! We're doing this for Aidan-san..."

Strangely enough, the man calmed. The villagers were perplexed to say the least when he apologized for his behavior and spoke of fulfilling Aidan's last request. The first villager, the one that seemed to be acting as the leader, looked at him with somewhat of a need. "What... what did he ask for? We've known him for years. If there was something that he needed we'll provide him with it. Even if... it is to late." All the villagers hung their heads, not quite believing that there was much chance. Not with the way the older man was, or had been, bleeing.

The cluster of villagers that had gone to retrieve Aidan had looks of suprises as the girl retrieved their fallen friend and brought him toward them. They collected his limp body slowly and carefully, making sure not to justle him in even the slightest way.

(Do you guys think I should introduce Kuro now? *__*)

[ias]

<sub>(OOC: Sure...The earlier i kick his ass the earlier i can get the reward ;D )

" Ossan said that i shouldn't let him get away with murder......And the only name he mentioned in that sentence was Kuro....So tell me where this Kuro person is " cracking his knuckles with a smile on his face ready to rumble and fight with this Kuro character....Djer was sure that the villagers wouldn't believe him since they spoke so highly of this Kuro but none the less, Kuro had to be the one that had killed the Old man but for what reason not even Djer knew but was sure to find out in due time....

Strangely enough Djer's stomach began to growl loudly due to the fact that he was adrift at sea for a number of days without food and in that instant he blacked out and collapsed onto the ground with a big thud due to exhaustion and hunger... Yet while unconscious he was having this wonderful dream where he was in the land of milk and honey and he had an island of women to himself catering to his every single need, with those perverted thoughts Djer was smiling while unconscious..." Im the luckiest man in the world !!!!! " Djer shouted in his dream realm in the bathe with numerous naked women and even Cross was there scrubbing his back....</sub>
