Land Ahoy! A New Chapter!(Gold Dream)

[.::Haseo On The Clouds::.]

It was no use, the Captain of the 8th Squadron was knocked out cold, it would take a few hours before he would regain consciousness. Haseo sighed as Dean tried his best to gain some information. "It's no use, this guy is out cold..." He said aloud with a sigh as he began to walk over to the civilians. He had noticed that many of them were still staring at them in awe. Haseo had thought that they were amazed at the crew for defeating all those Enforcers but suddenly one shouted out, "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU GUYS JUST DO! THOSE WEAKLINGS COULD'VE BEEN TAKEN OUT BY RUSTAN BUT WE DIDN'T TOUCH THEM CUZ OF THE EMPEROR'S WRATH! All of the civilians nodded in fear at the thought of the Emperor's punishment.

Meanwhile, Wilson was back with Rustan. The two were watching the battle from several....several yards back but then he noticed that one of the crewmates remained.

"Thanks for the hospitality Wilson. May I be so kind as to ask what the wait time for a log pose is here?"

Wilson smiled at the young man and answered, "Oh here it should only take up to 3 weeks. You can be out in a jiffy." Wilson replied as he began to walk over to the crew. "Yes I wonder how we'll get out of this one......well come inside and let us fill you in.

Everyone gathered around as Wilson walked into the District Building.

"Now several years ago, we lived in a time of peace where this grand Kingdom was ruled by our beloved Emperor. Yet one day......an infamous Pirate Crew known as the Jade Pirates invaded our Kingdom. Their forces were many.....but we had more than just an army. Yet their power was too great and our Emperor was killed, leaving the throne to a man named Selethen. Now Selethen was the mighty Captain of the Jade Pirates......but once he obtained the throne he had given up the name Selethen. He had become Tsuyoi....which means mighty or powerful. His bounty was originally 58 million.....for a reason unknown.......his bounty was miraculously lowered to 50 million. His name print on the bounty was also 'Jade Emperor' Tsuyoi. Now as he gained power, Tsuyoi commanded his giant crew to plant and leave Jade all over the kingdom to use as his power source. Now twice a year, the Jade Emperor holds a Battle Royale for all the districts to compete for a year's worth of food. Every village has a top notch fighter.....ours is Rustan. If we refuse the Emperor's orders.....then he just uses the Jade that surrounds us and destroys us. Of course by offering amends he will forgive us. Now we are caught up to the part of.....the Battle Royale.....3rd year......

Haseo listened intently to Wilson's words and his face was full of nothing but compassion. "Don't worry Wilson.......I've got this covered.....we're entering this tournament.....and we're ending it once and for all....."

"I knew you'd say that." Basil sighed. "I'm not against it, it's just a tad troublesome. Political power means nothing, he must answer for his crimes, I'm sure." Basil was only halfway behind the idea of approaching the emperor this way. On one hand, the crew needed to stop the mindless fighting for one man's entertainment, though entering the tournament themselves was slightly counter-productive. Basil was also itching to grow stronger, still sore from his experience with the sea-serpent. "We have to do our best to not kill anyone. As Wilson said, we're fighting innocent civilians. That means," He looked over towards Jay and Garuda. "At least TRY to hold back. The fewer broken bones, the better.

He looked down at his rapiers, he probably wouldn't be able to use his new technique at all during the tournament. It was fine, he'd just have to choke his opponents under to be victorious. Simple enough, at least for a Tongue-Man. "If we have three weeks on this island, we'll have to completely remove the opposition or it'll be impossible for us to stay in one place, stating the obvious. Also, since the political power knows that we're here, we may want to guise our motives. If anyone asks, we're entering the tournament for the supplies, nothing else. I'm betting this emperor wouldn't care if outsiders were trying to take away one of his people's better sources of livelyhood." He brought his had to his face in thought. "That would be my opinion anyway. He is a criminal who siezed power after all."

Jay wiped the remaining liquid from his mouth as he shook the fire off his gauntlet. Gaurda proceeded to throw his gaint shield at the flaming targets. Jay began to laugh as the ones running around were knocked over from the boomerang attack. The fire began to die down as the enforcers writhed in pain. Gaurda mentioned a tournament which instantly caught his ear. “A tournament? You say, I am there!” he yelled in excitement. He was pumped now because he hadn't been in a tournament in years. A enforcer yelled at all of the pirates about some emperor.....Jay was not amused.

He picked up a tiny rock, “Watch this Garuda.” he took the rock and launched it at the enforcer with the power of a cannon. The rock curved in a arc, smashing him in the back of the head. The helmet proctected him from death, but he was flung into a nearby building. Jay flexed his muscle, “pure power baby.”

A boy approached the crew, it was Wilson. He began to go on about the emperor and the battle royal. Jay kinda zoned out as he talked, but came back to reality once he heard battle royal. “I can't promise anything in the ring, I won't kill no one but I am not holding back.” Jay said with a cocky tone.

“Don't worry we got this Wilson, kicking ass is what we do.”

Garuda didn't want to admit he was honestly impressed by the power of his team-mate considering he was smaller in size compared to him. He heard Jay talk about how he was not holding back. "I can't promise that I won't kill anybody either so I don't have any choice but to hold back but considering the competition," Garuda said whilst taking a look at Jay, "I guess I can win without going in full power."

Garuda then considered the tournament and realised that he would need to stock up on some metal if he wanted to exploit the powers of his Poru Poru No Mi to its fullest extent. ‘Now where could he find loads of spare metal that no-one needed?’ Garuda thought to himself. He looked around searching. No he couldn’t just start eating random furniture and housing structures. No, he would need to find something that was actually not needed. “Hey Wilson, do you scrap?” He asked the island native.

“Huh? What? I didn’t quite understand that...” Wilson replied, clearly baffled.

“Sorry, what I meant to say was, do you scrap metal?” Garuda asked again.

“Ah yes, you’ll find some at the disposal area at the back of the town,” he answered. “But what do you need metal for?”

“I’m a shipwright,” Garuda explained, although his true reason remained hidden.

Dean stood up when he realized the officer was unconscious. Then that old man Wilson came and started telling that story. It was very interesting and Dean was listening carefully. About that tyrant pirate emperor, the tournament between the villages and the fear. "Well, I guess we'll just have to kick everyone's ass and help you guys." he said smiling. "I mean, how strong can that emperor be? We outnumber him anyway and I doubt his lackeys will be trouble. Just a question though. Why don't you leave this place? It's not hard to make a nice and big ship and just take off."

Standing up he sheathed his pistols and looked at Haseo "If you don't mind I will go back to the ship and bring some supplies. We'll need them if we plan to stay here." Walking closer to him he whispered in his ear "Plus, I think we have enough food to give those poor guys some, if you don't mind that either." Nodding his head he backed off and started walking towards the ship.

Arriving there he walked in the cabin and searched the supplies. Taking a big sack of food and a few crates of other stuff he placed them on the deck "I guess I'll have to stick around this crew for a while longer."

(Wilson is an old man guys XP)

Haseo nodded at the appropriate responses of his crew, he was more than happy enough to walk up to this Emperor and give him a fist pounds of pain up his........hmmmmm he wouldn't finish that thought. Haseo also nodded at Dean's idea and whispered back, "Alright that seems like a plan to me...." And with that he let Dean walk off. Haseo was completely against the evil, wicked ways, of this 'Jade Emperor'. Just how powerful could he be to be able to hold and entire kingdom in a grasp of never-ending fear? He then proceded to ask Wilson this question.

"Oh yes well you see here, the Jade Emperor has a fearsome ability to control massive amounts of Jade at his command. He could also become Jade which is monstrously terrible as well. If anyone were to ever disobey him..l...he would simply use the massive amounts of Jade that he has planted around our kingdom and would destroy us with a never-ending barrage of Jade terror. He himself is also a marvelous fighter......why just before his take-over of our kingdom, the Jade-Emperor had commited a dreadful crime, rumor had it that his Bounty would have exceded 100,000,000 and that he would be a candidate to replace Crocodile.....until Blackbeard came along.

Haseo nodded at this answer.....he appeared to be one powerful foe...........
