A odd encounter Ryu meets a mermaid.

[shenta]

Ryu was surprised that there was no snow to be seen any where on the island, which was very odd seeing as the name of the island was called frost kingdom. Getting off his two person row boat Ryu began his journey into town, as he was moving about though the town Ryu kept seeing signs of some kind of auction going on. Deciding to check it out Ryu stopped quickly to grab a bite to eat and maybe if he was lucky get some info on what type of auction was going on. Looking around he saw a neat little dinner called the black cat inn. Ryu stepped into the building and then made his way over to the inn keeper. 

" A glass of tomato juice a beer and what ever you have that has fish." 

A few minutes later the inn keeper return with all the things Ryu asked for, taking some money out he laid it down and then began to eat. While he sat there listening with his cat hearing he waited to hear about this auction going down. " Hey did you hear the news about this year's auction." A man said behind Ryu he was talking to some other guys who was sitting at the table next to him. " No man what's this news your going on about, we all know these auctions never have any thing worth a shot." The other man said as he began drinking his beer. " Well I heard that they managed to catch a live Mermaid, you know how rare that is." 

Once Ryu had finished his meal he got up and left, now that Ryu knew what kind of auction this was gonna be he knew that he needed to put a stop to it before any one was sold. After searching around Ryu managed to find the auction house but to be undercover it was going under a falsh name and business, he looked for the back door and once he did he knocked out the guard and took his cloths so that he could sneak around with out being detected. Ryu found some collars and handcuffs so he switched them out with some fake ones then just waited for his time to strike.

It was almost comical how many restraints had been placed on the mermaid. She sat in a cage with iron bars and not a drop of water to be seen. Ray glared outward venomously. The only reason a string of profanities did not fly from her lips was that she was gagged and muzzled. Iron restraints wrapped her arms around her body and restricted her hands. Even a ball and chain were patched into her red and white striped tail.

Despite Ray’s current predicament, she had taught the humans to fear her. They’d been muttering about how they were going to present her to the crowd. Obviously, they couldn’t do it in in a tank of water. It wasn’t exactly glamorous to parade her around like this either. She looked like a caged lion with murderous intent.

Ray let out a sigh that was somewhere between a growl and a hiss. How was she going to get out of this? There was no way she was going back to being some display piece. Screw that! Her tail slammed against the metal floor of the cage.

Under all of the restraints, Ray couldn’t admit that she was afraid. Not even to herself. She was too pissed off to realize it. Her eyes scanned the cage for the umpteenth time, looking for something that she could use to escape.

It was very busy back stage at the auction as they was rushing around trying to get things ready before they began the show. As he was looking around he noticed that there was many races from humans to fish men down to dwarf,s and they was all in cages. Ryu could not get over the idea how humans could be so cruel and sadistic, Ryu was tired of the way these people was being treated so he placed his hand on his sword cause he was gonna try to cut the bars but before he could three men walked up behind him as they asked him what he was doing. But Ryu did not have time to talk or get caught so turning around quickly Ryu drew his sword and cut so fast that he knocked them out, once they fell Ryu took there keys as he began to unlock the cages. As he did the freed slaves began to run wild which would hopefully let him find the boss of the place cause he was gonna pay. While he was freeing people Ryu noticed a mermaid setting in a cage and not a very big one either, he was about to go free her when a large man ran over to the cage and began to run with the rolling cage so Ryu began chasing the culprit. 

[Fox]

There was...some guy freeing a bunch of the other losers in here. Ray watched him pointedly. What the hell did he think he was doing? She stared blankly at him as he finally noticed her. Well, if he was gonna free her, she could get the hell out of dodge after kicking the collective asses of the people who had caught her in the first place and everyone else here.

The guy started moving toward her when one of the stooges that had been ogling her ran over, tilted her cage over and began to roll with it. What. Ray curled her tail tightly around her body as she tumbled around in the cage. Oh this guy was gonna pay for this.

Orienting herself wasn’t really possible when she was tumbling around like clothes in a washing machine. However, she did get a glimpse of him and that was all she needed. Her tail flicked out and jabbed him in the shoulder with one of her spines. She pumped him full of venom. He screamed.

With a satisfied smile, Ray watched as the man stopped and held his shoulder. His arm was loose at his side. Probably numb. No doubt it burned. The cage came to a stop as well much to the muzzled Ray’s relief. She sat up as best she could. He had backed away from the cage, not wanting to risk another hit like that.

[shenta]

Ryu ran after the man that ran off with the mermaid and her cage, it took some time before he was able to catch up with the man tho as he walked up the man was backing away from the cage like a person backing away from a wild animal. Ryu took his sword as he used the back of the blade then wracked the man up behind the head which knocked him out.

Ryu walked up to the cage as he stood 5:11 and 200 pounds of muscles, Ryu has long black hair which he keeps tied up into a ponytail, his eyes is a ruby red with his pupils being diamond shaped like a cats. He looks a lot like a human but you can tell there is a lot of mink in him to, he has three black marks going across the side of his face like whiskers.

He also has the same markings on his midsection, arms and legs, he has black fur on the top of his hands as well as his feet. He has a Beard that goes from the corner of his mouth down his chin. He wears a red kimono with black flames on it. Ryu has a scar which runs across the bridge of his nose, as well as a small scar running down the right side of his chin.

He Carry's two swords on his side, the first one was his gift after becoming a Samuel. It had a black sheath with small white stars that chain together, the handle was red and the hilt guard was shaped liked a x. The second one was his dads but when he died ryu took it. It had a white sheath with black thunder strikes going down it, the hilt guard was shaped like a figure eight and the handle was also red.

Ryu took his sword and broke the lock on the cage then opened it up for the mermaid. " You want to escape this hell hole with me as we cause a little hell." Ryu asked as he put a hand down to help the mermaid out of the cage 

[Fox]

Ray looked at her would be rescuer with a mix of trepidation and irritation. What the hell did he want with her? He looked a bit like a cat man. A weird samurai cat man thing. Maybe some sort of devil fruit user. Either way, if he wanted to claim her as his, he had a rude awakening coming his way. She watched as he broke the lock to her cage and opened it up.

Great.

If it was only the cage. She had been put in a multitude of restraints. And she was gagged! So it wasn’t exactly like she could answer him or take his hand. Twisting her tail around, she poked into the fabric covering her hands and excreted venom onto her fingertips.

Using a bit of water manipulation, Ray was able to cut up and tear apart most of the restraints. She spat out the gag with disdain and scowled at Ryu.

“What? You expecting me to just stand on this fin here?”

Shaking her head, Ray dragged herself along the ground with her hands. She needed some wheels. Or something. To help her get around. She glanced over at Ryu. He may have been a weird cat samurai, but he did have legs.

“Hey you. Put me on your shoulder.”

[shenta]

 Ryu watched as the merwoman took her tail and put something on the rags restaining her and they fell off tho the lady did not seem to happy about being saved, she seemed a bit high strung and cranky but Ryu could not blame her he would probably be pissed to if some people put him in a cage. While he was thinking he noticed the woman crawling away from the cage but then looked back to tell Ryu to put her on his shoulders. Walking over Ryu picked the girl up by the back of her shirt as he placed her on to his shoulder, just then the room was suddenly full of armed guards as they had there weapons pointed at them. 

From out of the crowd a large man walked into veiw tho when he meant large he did not mean  tall but more like fat,the man was dressed nice tho looked more like a marrine. He carried a sword on his side which meant that the big man was capable of welding a blade. 

" Tisk tisk cat man, I can not allow you to walk out of here with these people's merchandise for I am Sgt nickles. So I shall give you two choices, the first is to keep doing what your doing and die. Second choice is to give up that mermaid and after you shall be taken to jail." 

Ryu conteplated his options but neither one sounded to appealing  to him so he would decide to make another option but he had no idea how the mermaid would react to being captured again. 

" Nope I choose neither so instead I say let's fight and no one but you die tho I'm not going to jail either cause I have a dream to reach first and that's to be the next king of the pirates."
