The ship's flag flattered around in the wind wildly, displaying the colors of the Marines proudly. Two ships, two marine vessels anchored beside each other. Jack was on one of these, standing next to Zero 'the Hero' a wanted criminal. To be exact, Zero was a member of the Revolutionary Army and was wanted in the North Blue for a bounty of 7.000.000 berri.
A bounty was imposed for acts of terrorism, arson, and civilian casualties as a result of his actions. It was safe to say he was everything but a hero. Jack stood idle, watching over the grey-haired criminal with his golden eyes. On deck was a Marine Ensign who stood on the other side of Zero. All seamen were on deck! Awaiting the arrival of another CO! Lieutenant João Teixeira a recent import from the South Blue. Jack checked his watch quickly, what was taking Lt. Teixeira so long? That's when he heard a loud boisterous voice.
"Shriiiiikakakakaka!! Sorry for the delayed my good friends! I just got tangled up in an argument with one of my seamen. We were discussing what brand of pizza rolls was better shriiiiikakakaka!"
Announced the Lieutenant, with a hyena-like laugh. He was yelling across the sea from his ship. To say João was, tall was an understatement. The guy was at least eleven feet tall and well-muscled. This of course was slightly obscured by his white Marine outfit. Arms crossed and with a big smile, the Lieutenant stood greeting his fellow marines! A sheen of sunlight caught on his sunglasses, one that would blind almost anyone. The North Blue was so different from his home blue the South Blue, that's the first thing João had noticed.
Of course, it was! It was on the other side of the world. But that was understandable... in general, the culture, food, and even the water were different. Yes, the water too! For some reason, he'd found the water to even have a different taste. He remembered hearing a similar story from his father who had gone to the East Blue once in his life and had told him about the water tasting different. At the time João didn't believe his late father. But now, he was fully aware! No matter, his stay here would be short. He was sent here to do some basic training for recruits, but alas found himself as the only available officer to transfer the newest prisoner.
"Finally..."
Jack scoffed under his breath, this exchange of prisoners was putting him a bit on edge. They were going to transfer Zero from the Holy Remuno Marine Base to Jreum where he could be put in finer containment. Having a figure like him in a more publicly accessible base was a hassle and invited a break-in. Jreum was a seabase built on top of a reef that was exclusively controlled by the Marines. The Revolutionary Army was more than invited to attempt an attack on that base (again) after all their last attempt had failed. A second one was doomed to fail. Jreum was a proud bastion of the sea.
Jack fixed his sunglasses as he saw João and a Petty Officer cross the bridge over to the ship. He had to admit, João was the opposite of what he imagined a CO being... he was very jolly. Did they make them jolly in the South Blue? Probably, the place sounded sunny after all. That probably enhanced their mood. Cocking his head back Jack stared up at Joâo who was no directly in front of him staring down at Zero. The terrorist looked up at João glaring at him despite being very much human he had a muzzle and for very good reasons too. A low growl of annoyance came from the criminal in question.
"Oh! This is the trouble-making fellow!! Shriiiikakakaka! Oh wow, look at his glare and his growl! Oh, he'll be a fun one to transport I'm sure."
The Lieutenant announced, he was getting some odd stares from everyone on board. Did this guy seriously enjoy his job? Jack let out a sigh, honestly, this guy reminded him a lot of his Uncle, it was uncanny almost. The cipher pol agent bowed respectfully.
"This is correct Lieutenant Texiera! Zero, is here and ready for transport. I, Agent Jack Fitzgerald and Ensign Di Naso will be passing him onto you now as your responsibility."
Ensign Di Naso gave Jack an approving nod at Jack's statement. The agent was proud of his statement... or at least that was until he saw João.
"Very well! Then we should get moving I suppose!"
The Lieutenant turned his back to Zero who took this as an opportunity, he broke his bonds with his monstrous strength and lunged to the side smashing into Ensign Di Naso. With quick action, he grabbed onto the Ensign's cutlass and slashed João's back causing the Lieutenant to fall on his back. Jack was in shock, he tried to lunge himself at Zero but the latter leaped past him and grappled a Petty Officer holding the cutlass to his neck.
"Give a boat or the kid gets it!"
Jack stood still meanwhile Ensign Di Naso stood up. This was a disaster! Everyone had their weapons drawn at the Revolutionary, but they soon lowered them.
"Do as he says... we need to get Lt. Teixeira to safety anyway."
The Agent commanded, a lot of the seamen stood still. Trying to register their orders.
"Well!! Do as he says! Fools!"
João yelled from the ground, feeling the seething pain in his back. He didn't show it, but he was pissed off. Once he got his hands on that Zero he was going to break his kneecaps! That was for certain. Quickly the task force mobilized to accommodate the demands of Zero and before they knew it. Zero had a boat ready for his escape, still with the Petty Officer yelled at sword-point. Jack watched from the side of the ship as the target he had tracked for so long as leaving with yet another victim. His hands grasped the side of the ship tightly.
"We'll get 'em... I'm sure... we'll get 'em."
The Lieutenant said standing up in pain, his teeth clenched as he leaned on the side of the ship with one hand right next to Jack.
