-- CHAPTER I PART: ONE // True Grit: Winchester! Land of Outlaws!
The sun reached high up on the sky shining on the land of outlaws below glazing over a certain young man's indigo hair. Kozen had arrived on Winchester just recently in hopes of finding crew members for his crew. He'd heard by word of mouth that Winchester was divided into two parts... one had a Marine base and the other half was filled to the brim with outlaws making Winchester a land that was in a constant civil war. The young man turned left and right as he entered the outlaw area of the island... various pirate ships surrounded all docked on the port. It was quite the scene honestly, Kozen had never seen so many pirates in one location before.
"Yosh!"
Kozen exclaimed as his rowboat finally reached the doc, hopping off he pulled out a rope and tied it neatly to the doc. It didn't take long before a short boy just around his age reached him... the poor kid's skin was burnt to a crisp from being under the sun for extended periods.
"Sir! Do you need me to assist you with your boat?"
He offered up, walking up with some cleaning supplies. This was some sort of joke right? No way there wasn't much to clean up in a rowboat after all... right? Kozen crossed his arms looking down at the young teen who simply smiled back with his bright blue eyes and brown curly hair. The wannabe pirate let out a sigh, his heart being softened ever so slightly. Reaching into his pocket he decided to humor the boy and toss him a coin for his troubles.
"Sure whatever bud, don't spend it all in one place hehe."
The kid giggled and went off to clean up the boat. Putting his arms on his hips the young pirate smiled as he stared at the place where his adventure would begin. Winchester was... exactly how Kozen imagined... full of rickety old wooden buildings barely held together by rusted nails. Bullet holes adorned almost every plank of wood around and the smell of gunpowder filled the air.
"Here goes I guess."
Taking a deep breath Kozen took his first steps into the island. The key to finding new crewmates was probably to look in the local inn or tavern... those places usually attracted all sorts of interesting people. But first, Kozen wanted to explore and take a quick look around this land of outlaws. This was a one-time chance in his life after all and he didn't want to rush it at all. With the click-clack of his tengu geta against the brick road of this wonderous new place, he began his adventure with great enthusiasm.
