"Lets Head Out To Sea" - (Destiny Pirates)

[|The SHAKINATOR|]

After a troublesome day at Sedna Island, home to the world's most unhelpful and unfriendly people, Gerard Yagami and his newly appointed First Mate Aron Black had finally left the island, along with a young girl named Miyako. Having encountered other pirates on the island, the two of them had helped rescue Miyako from these notorious men and had thus took them on board but knew little to nothing about her.

Having boarded the ship, Gerard had at once began working on the health of Miyako. He had supplied her body with essential nutrients and vitamins to help her recovery and had put her in bed to rest. She was suffering from exhaustion and had a light fever but he knew it would pass over soon, there was nothing seriously wrong with her. He was however, concerned about all the bruising on her body. He had applied an appointment to increase the speed of healing but he couldn't help but feel sorry for the Miyako.

After putting her to rest, Gerard had begun examining the magnificence of the ship Aron had appointed to their cause. "I have to admit, this is a great ship Aron." Gerard complimented, "Its perfect for what we intend to use it for. I just hope we don't need to protect it from the attack of marine cannons so early. Wouldn't want to ruin such a piece. What have you named this vessel?" Gerard asked his compatriot.

[Reza]

Miyako had fallen into a deep sleep, and, subconsciously, she knew it. And, it felt very good. Enough so that she didn't want to wake up all together. The comfort of the bed she had been placed upon definitely helped. She slept for only a few hours - not nearly long enough for her to of become fully rested. Her ongoing paranoia was the main reason for her awakening, as well as a sense of insecurity in a new place. The smells, and actually the comfort of the bed which had helped her sleep a bit longer itself, both woke her for the said reason.

The girl woke up with a jerk, eyes wide and searching - searching for nothing in particular, only to seek out potential threats. She found none, at least not in the room, and stood. She shook for a moment and nearly fell, her body still tired. But her mind was working, wondering where she was and if this place was safe.

Miyako poked her head into a small hallway, looking back and forth. Nothing. She sighed a silent relief and figured it would be safe to leave her guitar in the room to explore. Maybe this was Aron's ship or something? He had to be around if it was. She didn't recognize the ship at all.

She found her way around a bit, easily remembering the way back to the room in case she needed to make a quick escape, which wouldn't end up being a great escape considering they were on a ship and out at sea from what she figured. Miyako brushed back her hair over her ear. There had to be someone on the ship, though she hadn't exactly explored much of it. Her caution seemed to make things slower..

"Black-san?" Miyako called loudly. She froze, unknowing of whether it would bring Aron to her or someone else.

[roronoazoro]

Aron had left Miyako alone in her room asleep and resting. He smiled as he left and went to his room so that he could rest. He had gotten wounded by one of the other pirates with a surprise attacks and didn't want anyone to worry about him. He sat down on his bed and bandaged his wound on his lower torso up. He was lucky and it didn't hit and major organs. He finished wrapping it up and laid down he had his jacket over his shoulders with his arms outside of it. Aron laid down and rested for a little bit. Maybe for an hour or so.

An hour had passed and Aron awoke. He sat up and put his legs off of the bed. Aron sighed as he looked down at his wound. He was idiotic for not paying attention to his surroundings when he got that hit. Aron stood up and walked out of his room onto the deck only to find Gerald his captain. He was admiring the ship. "Heh. Yeah. I wouldn't want this ship to get hurt. We have precious cargo onboard. What I named it. Nyu-Seken. Meaning New World."

Aron smiled that his captain liked his ship. He looked around and actually like his ship. He hadn't really had the time to look at it. He was about to go up to the steering wheel when he heard the voice of Miyako. It seemed she was awake and needed something. Aron walked towards the hallway that she was calling from and stood at the end of it behind her. "You called Miyako-chan?" Aron asked with a smile on his face.

[|The SHAKINATOR|]

Gerard was impressed with the ship Aron had given to the cause of the crew and even more impressed with the name he had given it. New World, for that was exactly what Gerard planned to do. Make a new world where things would be different.

He then heard a voice, a girls voice and assumed Miyako must have recovered from the sedatives and medicine he had injected her with. He could tell she was a little uncomfortable with not knowing where she is on a ship with two strangers but Gerard hoped he could make things better for her.

"Hello there," Gerard called out as he approached the two. He looked upon Miyako's eyes and gave a friendly smile. "Miyako is it? A really nice name. I'm Gerard Yagami, the guy who treated you of your minor injuries. You were running a fever so I gave you something so that you could sleep it off and considering we didn't think it would be safe to leave you on the island, we bought you with us." Gerard explained to the passenger on their ship.

"If you want us to, we can drop you off wherever you need. We're a newly formed pirate crew, Lords of Destiny Pirates. You can hang with us for a while if you want, we're headed to Rouge Town. Would you be interested?" Gerard asked Miyako.

[Reza]

((ooc - I just switched posts to keep the order..))

Miyako swirled when she heard someone behind her. "Ah!" she exclaimed, surprised. It was not an unusual thing for her to be as cautious as she was. It had easily become part of her daily life. Somehow, for some reason, she had half expected not to find Aron, and rather be found by someone who'd taken advantage of a poor defenseless girl, out cold, which would have meant that she would've been kidnapped a second time in her life.

Instantly Miyako felt embarrassed and rubbed one arm with another, trying to avoid eye contact with Aron. She looked back at him after a moment though, gathered her thoughts and finally managed to answer. "W-Where are we?.." she asked awkwardly, at the same time her a hand wandering to a wall. It was a good thing she could keep her balance on ships, else she might have fallen by this point, even from the slightest, most rhythmic rocking patterns of the ship.

Miyako swallowed. Why had he taken her onto this ship in the first place? she wondered. Was there another person on the ship than just them? She couldn't much tell from what little of the ship she had seen. "I...Is anyone else here..? she asked quickly. She had to prepare herself - it might be better to know of any other persons before just happening to find out on her own.

Then another man showed up. He was beside Aron, so she somewhat figured they were at least acquainted. She froze though, feeling more uncomfortable than before. She didn't like new people, and least of all new men. It creeped her out a bit that he knew her name as well. She half felt like running, but, being on a ship, there wouldn't be much places to run to.

Miyako felt a bit less cautious when she learned that Gerard was the one who'd treated her wounds. Treated her wounds? Now that she thought about it, she did feel a lot better - tired still maybe, but better. "Th..thank you..." she muttered, hardly able to make the words come out - she was still frozen, other than the occasional shiver of discomfort her body gave every few seconds. The words had to come out though - there was no reason not to say 'thank you'.

"If you want us to, we can drop you off wherever you need. We're a newly formed pirate crew, Lords of Destiny Pirates. You can hang with us for a while if you want, we're headed to Rouge Town. Would you be interested?"

Miyako frowned a little. All she wanted was to go home, but she didn't even know where home was anymore. Why couldn't she remember? It had been years, yes, but who forgets where their own home is? "I.." she began, but her heart clumped in her throat. She was rendered speechless for a few moments, in which time she was shaking from frustration and tears gathered at her eyes' corners. 'Why can't I remember where it is?.. Will I ever see my brothers again? or Father?' Hands raised to cover most of her face, she cried and slid to the floor, propped up only by the wall.

"Why... why can't I.. remember?" she cried softly between tears.

[|The SHAKINATOR|]

Gerard cowered down placing his hands on either side of Miyako, using them to gently comfort her before helping her up to a stance. "It's completely alright if you can't remember," Gerard informed her. "This is normal when someone goes through a state of shock. I'm sure you'll remember soon enough, we will do what we can to get you back to your family. In the mean-time you can hang out with us. We will keep you happy, the both us. I promise. And you'll meet lots of new people as well. And above all, you'll be safe."

Before Gerard could await a reply from Miyako he suddenly heard a scream and a roar. He shared a glance with Aron before heading out to see where the noise came from. What stood before him was the most unexpected, yet exciting scenario. They had encountered a ship, from the looks of it, a trade ship. And right beside this trade ship was a large sea-king that resembled an overgrown eel, towering down, waiting to attack. Looking aboard the ship, there seemed to be a couple of fighters ready to attack this beast. A girl holding a gun in each hand caught his attention but he spared any thoughts of how brave and awesome she looked standing before this beast and instead went to draw his sword from within his cane.

He measured the distance between their own vessel and the trade ship. It was better if they docked right here or else a collision could be on course. "Aron, drop the anchor. I'm going to take care of a little problem," He ordered his First Mate before jumping off the 'New World' and onto the trade ship, besides the girl with the guns in hand.

"Don't worry about it darling, I've got this," He claimed although he highly doubted she would hold back. Using his agility to jump into the air, Gerard drew his sword and forced it downwards in a diagonal direction. "Kesa-Giri; Dragon's Claw!" The katana glanced down the sea-kings neck and sliced a few meters down its body. The damage is not as serious as it was set out to be as the Sea-Beast managed to evade the blow enough to miss its vitals but a huge scar had formed across its body.

[coffeelatte]

((I'll just go ahead and post because I'm the first one online xP))

Aya ignored the taller (way taller than her height of 5') man when he landed lithely beside her; she did, however, give a small glance his way, grudgingly respecting that he'd jumped quite well from that other ship.

"Don't worry about it darling, I've got this."

Before Aya could respond about how she 'got this,' the man had leaped into the air and sliced a long gash along the creature's back. Aya frowned petulantly, lowering her guns for a moment, before growling.

He was pretty good, but it didn't mean she forgave him, Aya hissed. "That was mine," she hissed at him, her tiny frame stiffening with irritation. She readjusted her grip on her guns, and with one last feral hiss at the man, leaped off the boat and into the air.

Suspended hundreds of feet above the sea and the creature, Aya loaded and aimed all four of her guns; "Bullet...rain..."

And in a moment, hundreds of bullets were being shot down in a torrent of ammunition and dust down at the monster and the surrounding sea.

She landed back on deck, and straightened up, leering childishly at the other man.

[vennyhope]

Hope, stood on the object he was sitting on, and turned to wards the sea king. "Oohhhhh ho ho hoo!", he said with a excited expression. "That's what I wanted!", he exclaimed. He jumped off the object and stood up.

He watched the other two fight. "Save some for me!", he yelled at them. He was a close range fighter, so he needed to get closer to the sea king. He had a idea, he took out his metal tentacles and got in a fighter stance. Tentacle Burst, he launched himself at the Sea King, doing minor damage to the ship itself, only a crack or two. He flew and hit the Sea King. He latched onto it.

The sea king was angry and started waving Hope around trying to shake him off. Hope had his tentacles around it so he was not going to fall. He then tried climbing up to the head of the sea king. He only got to neck and then was furiously thrown back and forth. He distracted the sea king, more, than damaged it. He still is still trying to reach it's head though.

He was able to climb just to the beginning of the head. He then started hitting the sea king with his bottom to tentacles. He was struggling to stay on now that he made it mad, and that it's scales are slippery. He continued to bash it on the back of it's head with the tentacles. Doing some damage, but not anything that would knock it out.

[Farris (Kuro)]

Farris watched as the three strangers flew into action one of them being from another ship and the others being from her own. It seemed they weren't merchants after all. She wasn't sure what they were but one thing that she was sure of was that they were helping out the Ship. A ship that she was charged with protecting. With three people all teaming up on the Sea king before she could so much as unsheathed her sword, The blue haired woman was starting to feel pretty useless. She was a Musician first and a swordsman second though so maybe this was normal?

Ether way she drew her sword and charged into the fray. Her saber glistened in the sun light as he lepta into the air. "Red Slash!" She hissed out as her blade bit deep into the side of the Serpentine creature. It was a good wound to the sea animal but not crippling as it's leathery hide to most of the blunt of the attack. Still, Farris clinged to her sword that was still embedded into the creature's side as it was all that kept her from falling into the water below. It wasn't that the dark clad woman couldn't swim, simply that she hated getting wet if she could help it.

Most might expect the musician to be helpless and trying to get back on the ship at this point, but not Farris. The musician was swearing obscenities at the beast and ripping at a the wound she made on the monster with a rarely seen rage in the common woman. If I'm going to get wet,..." She thought spitefully, " I'm making you pay for it!" She growled in though at the Sea king.

[roronoazoro]

Aron gave a look to Miyako that meant that it will be ok. Aron walked up to Miyako and put his hands on her shoulders. "Look Miyako. Everything is going to be all right. I want you to promise me something. I want you to stay here until we finish that beast off. We don't want that thing coming over to our ship and destroying it. Ok? Please stay here. I don't want to lose you again."


Aron ran out to witness the three people attacking the sea beast. Aron jumped from his boat towards the sea beast and drew his sword. He appeared on the other side of it and left a 4 foot deep slash across its body. He jumped off the other boat and landed on it. Aron started to spin rapidly and jumped in the air doing a 90 degree flip and let himself fall onto the sea beast and sent thousands of slashes at the beast. Aron stopped and jumped back to his ship and let himself fall onto the deck. he shouldn't of gone and done that, but he really wanted to protect Miyako. He would give his life for her. Aron slowly sheathed his sword before he passed out from the pain of his wound.

[|The SHAKINATOR|]

Gerard watched in awe as these great fighters before him joined him in combat of this great beast. Moving from the girl that rained bullets from he hands, to the cyborg who wasn't afraid to get into the action hands on and finally the blue-haired swords-woman who had an elegance about her that he couldn't help but admire. These were the type of people he wanted to be part of his crew. These were the type of nakama he was looking for.

Aron had also joined in on the action. Watching him in action was always a privilege but now it was time to put this sea-monster to rest before it caused any damage to the ships. Gerard called forth the power of the cursed fruit he had consumed as a child and withdrew several violet spikes from his hands as he made a leap into the air. "Sekiei Sekiei No Blitz!" He yelled as he fired the crystal arrows into the body of the Sea-King, making way for a step ladder of sorts up along the beasts spine. Rushing up these steps, the wandering swordsman unsheathed his blade once more, "Hidden Katana; Winged Strike" before dicing a clean cut through the Eel-like creatures neck in one swift movement, with the katana returning to its sheath after use. He landed on the deck of the trade ship and gave an assuring smile to the passengers as well as the fighters on board, whilst the Sea-King behind him sank to the depths of the ocean.

Taking a look at the floor beneath he couldn't help but apologize for the crimson mess that had liquidated the wooden floor. "Sorry about the mess," he said with a smirk on his face as he stood upright to greet these merchants and travelers.

"I am Captain Gerard Yagami of the Destiny Pirates." He introduced the both of them before casually requesting. "We've been traveling a while and are in dire need of some assistance ... Does anyone have any food? I'm starving."

Gerard wasn't aware of the fact his first mate had passed out.

[Reza]

Miyako was too shocked to move or really even breathe as Gerard touched her. She could somewhat tell mentally that he was trying to comfort her, but the feeling didn't help much. She stood and leaned on her toes, ready to knock herself loose and run if need be. Her instincts as of thus far were too strong. Of course, as he was speaking she heard only about half of what he said. She was more distracted by his touching her. Not in being appalled, just not yet being able to trust the man yet.

The girl was much more comforted when Aron looked at her. His gazed soothed her a bit. Her breathlessness caught up to her and she allowed the salty air to fill her lungs again, which also made her less tense. His hands were warm on her shoulders, and she almost felt like going to sleep again. But, she was still as alert as ever.

"Look Miyako. Everything is going to be all right. I want you to promise me something. I want you to stay here until we finish that beast off. We don't want that thing coming over to our ship and destroying it. Ok? Please stay here. I don't want to lose you again."

Stay here? She nodded to him - a silent promise. "O-Okay.." she replied timidly. Miyako couldn't help herself when he ran off and ran after him, somewhat interested in the sea beast as well as hoping that no one got hurt by it. She got to the edge of the boat in time to watch a few others attack the creature before Aron. Before long he was done, and passing out back on the ship. Miyako ran and caught him before he hit the deck.

"Black-san, are you okay?" she asked. She frowned a little, shaking him gently. Then she remembered that the man from before had helped her, she hoped he could help Aron too. She called out, "Yagami-san! Black-san is hurt..!" She realized that she might not have actually wanted him to come back again, but honestly she didn't know what to do at the moment. And, since the sea king was dead now he had the opportunity, right?

[coffeelatte]

((OOC: Oookay...I think it's back to my turn. Oops. xp))

Aya returned her four guns to her holsters swiftly, eyes still narrowed in slight irritation. Just who were all these people, crowding in on her prey? But...they weren't bad, Aya added with a sniff.

Especially that one man asking for food. He'd been...rather good, actually. But the moment he asked for food, his serious demeanor had changed into a rather comical one, and Aya wasn't sure what to think of him.

Destiny Pirates, he'd said...she'd never heard of them. But if their captain was this strong, they were bound to get noticed sooner or later.

Destiny.

It was a good name.

And then there was that girl who had run out of her little hiding corner; pfft. So she was another useless one on board, hm? Arms crossed, Aya spied her from the corner of her eyes; why was she on borderline hysteria? It wasn't as if she'd fought the monsters, the little weakling-

Oh. That moronic black-haired fool whom had fallen after hitting the monster (he'd made quite a slash, though).

Aya giggled in amusement, before heading off in their direction. She wouldn't help (why should she help?), but it would be fun to just...watch, wouldn't it?

[vennyhope]

Hope, who had fallen in the water, couldn't really hear what the man said. Though, he heard he heard parts of words and such. He looked down to where the Sea King fell. He wanted to only knock it out, not kill it. He ever had the intention of killing it. He closed his eyes for bit, hoped it had a great after life and then started swimming back to the ship.

He jumped up, in the water, and latched his tentacle to the top and climb up on the ship. He stood up on the ship, and sucked back in the extra arms in his back. He looked around and saw 4 other people, one with guns, another with blue hair, one with a sword, and a man knocked out on the floor.

He saw everyone walking onto another ship, he looked at it for a second. "Hey wait up!" he said he started catching up with them. His bare feet made a thump sound on the boards of the boat.

(OCC: Not good I know I had to force in a post today, due to many reasons. So, It was a rushed job that was only half of my Rp power, I think. I had to do A lot of things today. So sorry for the short post.

[Farris (Kuro)]

As The Sea king fell to the water depth below, So did the blue haired woman. Hitting the water hard she struggled a moment to get her saber free before swimming to the surface with the blade in her mouth. If ever there were a time when she looked like a pirate it was now, she thought. Still She managed to climb up on board the ship with a good amount of effort.

The dark clad musician was wet and felt like a drowned cat. Her expression and ill temperament displayed this clearly as she came on deck and took the sword out of her mouth and re-sheathed it. She had gotten there just in time to hear the man from the other ship speak saying "... Gerard Yagami of the Destiny Pirates." He introduced the both of them before casually requesting. "We've been traveling a while and are in dire need of some assistance ... Does anyone have any food? I'm starving." She missed the start of it but got the basic idea.

Farris folded her arms over her chest, "Yeah, we have food, but I think your nakama needs you first Mr. Pirate." She stated pointedly as she indicated to his ship and the apparently frantic girl. This guy was strong, and he helped them with the sea King, but she wasn't so sure she should be helping him. He was a pirate after all, on the other hand she owned him for his help. That alone meant by her own code of honor that she'd have to do something to make them even. Thus She started following as the group headed over to the other ship. Farris didn't know what she could do but their might be something.
