It was mid-day when Aidan emerged from his quarters, the sun was scorching hot and his ship seemed to be the target of its wrath this day. Aidan found himself getting lazy since leaving Karate Island he hadn't trained in nearly a month. He could only imagine what Ryusai would do if he were to ever find out, and the only reason he'd decided train was because of the boredom he was experiencing while at sea. Never did he imagine his adventure being so boring. Aidan realized that on a ship with only you there wasn't much liveliness, and so he decided to get back into his morning routine, though the morning had already come and gone for the day. He knew of an island where he was sure to find a great amount of information, Pirate Market one of the most dangerous places in the South Blue. It was another of the islands he visited with Ryusai when younger. Aidan could never forget a place such as this, a place where thievery domestic violence, slaving, murder, and piracy were looked at as every day life. It was islands like this that Aidan hoped to help while on his journey, but if he hoped to complete the task at hand he would have to rely on the shady characters and underground deals of the Pirate Market to do so. He found the whole thing ironic before healing the island he would have to partake in the very thing killing it. Aidan decided that thinking about such a thing now was a pointless, he'd instead let time pass by while keeping his mind busy with other things. He began his morning routine by stretching for an thirty minutes loosening up his muscles which was always important. He then shifted to the next stage of his morning routine exercise push ups, squats, sit ups, jumping jacks 500 of each and running in place for an hour "I've become lazy" thought Aidan "doing only half of my normal routine" he said as he continued to the final part of his morning routine. He stood up and closed his eyes he then continued dropping his arms to his side and clutching his fist. He then lifted his clutched fist like a fight was about to commence, and for a moment he stood completely still, but began soon he threw fist after fist in what would be an unreadable speed to the inexperienced, there was also a mix of elbows, Kicks, and knees such was the style of any martial artist especially the disciples of the dragon style who didn't believe in defensive moves but rather raw power that made their offensive style unbeatable. Though they did strengthen their body to the point where most hits were useless, this however was not the case with Aidan he had not yet mastered the dragon style, but decided to create his own style of the dragon through real combat. He continued striking at the air as if fighting real opponents holding nothing back as he did so. For two hours straight he did this in the blazing sun not giving even inch, but once done he laid on the deck of the ship staring up at the blue sky with a look of contentment on his face. Even though he was alone he felt as if he was happier than he'd been in a while just the thought of being able to travel wherever whenever brought a small smile to his face. His journey had started more or less he was beginning to see the world just like he'd always wanted, now the only thing to do was finding companions to enjoy it with and first on the list was Erin. Aidan looked out to the sea and saw nothing for miles, it would be a few more days before he reached his destination and so all he could do was try and keep himself busy before completely losing it. He often though of life on Karate Island and his family and friends their most of all Ryusia and his daughter Aya who'd become like a Father and sister to him. He tried not to think about Erin but it was useless in the end his mind always wondered back to his little brother pondering what could've happened within those five years that changed him so dramatically. He passed Karate Island and thought about stopping but in the end voted against it deciding he wouldn't return until he'd been on a great voyage with many new companions and stories to tell. He'd also go for a swim in the ocean, swimming along the sides of the ship, this however resulted in a fight with not one but two sharks, though Aidan welcomed the excitement. He even began looking for fights with sea creatures as childish as it may sound it kept him occupied. He was even so reckless as to search for a sea king this search however came up blank seeing as most were at the Grand Line and the New World and other seas along this line. He didn't even have a decent ship yet, still sailing in "Puddle Jumper" a ship he was determined to replace. If he had end finding a sea King the end result would be a destroyed Ship and him eaten or drowned. Aidan sleep all over the ship whether inside or out, whatever felt more comfortable at the time. This is how he spent his time which actually helped kill the boredom he originally felt when departing from Cinna. With all this time he was taking up it would only be a matter of time before he arrived at Pirate Market. He went to sleep that night eager for the next day to arrive because he'd be reaching the Island by the time he woke up. That night he slept on the deck looking at the stars as they danced in the night sky the cool breeze in the air and rocking of the ship put him to sleep in no time. By this time tomorrow he'd be on the south blue scumiest island in the scumiest saloon with the scum of the sea, Pirates!!!
