Adonis Zyz
The sun was beating down on what looked like a clam day in the ocean; Adonis was floating aimlessly in a small dinghy, he had been rejected on the last island by a small Marine outpost. The same story just a different day. There was a small lieutenant, and Adonis wasn't talking about stature, the lieutenant thought he was the greatest gift since the den den mushi. Unfortunately for Adonis, the man had talked ages about how difficult Rokushiki was to master. How after years, he had managed to start seeing progress. When Adonis appeared a humble janitor with the ability to use two different styles of Rokushiki, it wasn't long before all the men were laughing at their lieutenant. It didn't help that he was an NCO as a janitor, he knew that one day he'd find the right man to serve. Instead, he had just found another place to be rejected from. However, they had been gracious enough to give him said dinghy before kicking him out, he could see an island up ahead.
It was a beautiful island, he could already make out the port from the distance. He would finally use the oars in the dinghy to steer. Eventually landing on the island, Adonis was approached by the portmaster. Now he could use his Marine rank to ignore the fees, but in all honesty, he didn't plan on keeping the ship. Instead, he'd rather look cool, before he hopped out of the boat he would pierce holes in the thinnest parts of the Dinghy using his Shigan. As the boat started to sink Adonis would jump out of the boat making a Ta-Da motion with his hands. The portmaster wasn't happy, to say the least as the boat sank.
"Oi, what the fuck do you think you're doing. Do you know how much it costs to clean up the bay of this place when assholes like you sink your boat?"
Adonis hadn't given it much thought, but now was the time to flash his rank. Showing that he was a petty officer in the Marines by pointing to his jacket tied around his waist. The man would relent, but Adonis knew he had just added another tally to a long list on why civilians hated the marines.Hmm, well that's not the image I wanted to set. Maybe if I wander around I can find some trouble to break up to restore my image.
Adonis would start aimlessly wandering the streets, he knew that there'd be a marine outpost on the island somewhere, but that could wait. As he wandered the street he heard a woman shout. He could barely make it out as he started to run full speed in that direction. This is my chance I never thought it'd come so soon. What did she say something about a man with no pants or was it weird pants?
Adonis would make it to the woman and see her pointing at an oddity. There was a man? Adonis wasn't entirely sure as he approached the person and tried to use an authoritative voice.
"Excuse me, citizen, there seems to be some kind of misunderstanding. I'm with the Marines what happened here?"
Adonis was addressing the shanty-clothed person, the only thing that was for certain was they didn't like shirts. He hoped they wouldn't cause him too many issues. There wasn't much political advancement to be had dealing with a crazy or transient.
