Gaius sighed "Another beautiful day and no island in site." He said to himself. He was relaxing in his lawn chair on the deck of his crews new ship. It was a regular two mast ship big enough for about ten people.
He placed his hands behind his head and thought about his crew. In one day they had gone from two to six people. His new nakama consisted of: Hayate the actor/fencer - Lukas the cook - Mercy the doctor - and Gear the carpenter/inventor. These people at this moment where somewhere on the ship doing something. Suddenly he realized that he didn't have his trademark goggles on.
Gaius got up and walked through the door to the room that he shared with Gear, Hayate, and Lukas. Mercy and Taf got the two separate rooms, for privacy reasons of course. He looked around the room for them. After about an hour he found them in his hammock. He was still very oblivious to things. He tossed them up and down for a few seconds while he drifted off to the events that got them this ship.
After a very strange case of coincidences Hayate, Lukas and Mercy had all managed to get aboard the sailboat that him and Taffy had been traveling on. They had a pretty good crew and where planning to steal the ship that they where sailing on currently. Then Gaius had noticed that the rowboat that held Gear was sinking. Deducing that the Gear wasn't moving or swimming because he was a DF user, Gaius jumped in and swam to him. Gaius managed to save the carpenter who had promised to make it up to him for saving him. Gaius told him that it wasn't necessary and that he was glad to do it. They waited in the water for about half an hour before the large ship he had seen on the horizon began to move toward them. When it reached them they helped them up. His crew had managed to steal the ship. They spent the evening partying. Lukas was a pretty good cook actually and there was enough food left on the ship to last them for a month or two so they where set. He had managed to convince Gear to join his crew. Hayate at that time was pretending to be a drunk. Gaius managed to make him confess to his acting skills and join the crew after falling on the guy after tripping. He hadn't smelled like a drunk, and Gaius knew instantly that he wasn't. He had studied under a Drunken Fist master while on Karate island so he knew what a drunk smelled like.
That was about a week ago and he had since got to know his nakama better.
Gaius shook his head and put on his goggles. He walked back outside with his binoculars. He moved to the edge of the ship and scanned the horizon. No island, but there where gulls and wherever there where gulls there was an island.
He was going to call for his first mate Taffy but he stopped. He knew where she was. Probably with Lukas learning how to make candy or something. He ran up the stairs that lead to the ships wheel. He looked at the charts on the table next to said wheel. If he was right the closest island was some place called Cinna Island. He shrugged and moved to the wheel. He turned the ship in the same direction that the gulls had been heading. The guys would probably feel the ship move and come to ask what he was doing and where they where going.
When they did that he would simply say back "Cinna Island." and smile.
