The original starting post:

Spoiler:

South Blue. Sun is shining and the sky is completely clean - not one trace of clouds in sight. Parrot Island, a smaller island, shaped as that of a parrots beak, which is most likely where it received it's name from. A small harbor town (conviniently named as the Small Harbor Town) is the only thing worth noticing. Various smaller villages litter the rest of the island. The only marine base here is a somewhat small stone building, with a scout tower sticking out of it. The people here aren't that used to having anything out of the ordinary take place. And that's the way it ought to be for years to come.

A pirate ship was anchored in a cove further away. Considering that the crew itself had been busy arguing with one another of where they were headed for, the ship had taken action to it's own hands, staying out of the sight. They hadn't been noticed yet.

Shouting, yelling and whatnot insults and threats were coming out of every corner of the ship. For such a small crew, they managed to make alot of noise. Salkut attached his tongue to the crow's nest, pulling himself to it in order to get his voice heard better. "Associates! Let's cut the crap and focus on what's going ooooon currently." It got a bit more quite, despite the few grunts and whispers coming out of here and there. Salkut glared toward the direction where the harbor town had been. He couldn't see it from here. "Riiiiiiiight... Suppose we have no need to cause a ruckus for now. We're somewhat short on supplies, so it'd be a good idea to just get in the town, fetch whatever it is that we may neeeeed, and then get back here. So, what we're going to do is-" Deo kicked a bucket full of water overboard before loudly protesting: "BOOOOOOORING! Last at town is gonna wash the deck tomorrow!" He quicky jumped to the beach and began to run toward the harbon town. Salkut changed the color of his face a couple of times. "...Erm, yyyyyyeah, what he said." He then turned to look at Jerko. "Your turn to watch over the ship, champ." One by one people left the ship, spreading out so it wouldn't look like they were related. A gang of strangers appearing out of nowhere would easily scare the local townspeople.

Sidestory 01: Mister Tenzodi's Unimbortant Travel Blans

Spoiler:

--- "Who is this Tenzodi?" ---

Tenzodi is - or was - one of Midas's elite subordinates. He possesses 19,000,000 belli bounty, and has eaten the Bird Bird Fruit, model Chicken (which he believes is rooster, due to his gender). After years of serving under Midas in the outpost island of Odas Vega, he was promptly defeated by Salkut, ending up being knocked out for several days. He has a habit of saying letter P as B, as well as being somewhat loud in general. He looks chubby and short, and whatnot (search his introduction around pages 15-17 or something... :X).

Part 01: The Wake Ub And The Debarture

Spoiler:

Who knows how many days had passed as Tenzodi woke up. He was rather healed up from the punishment he had gained before. First things first - he raised his fist up high to the sky, shouting: "Bot booooot! Stuubid birates! I'll come and have retribution, you bunks! I will!"

Hours passed as he travelled through the island, attempting to find what his comrades were doing. Nobody could be found in the island. The lumberjacks had left. The miners had left. Only their wives and children were still around in their homes, acting very happy and whatnot. Tenzodi wouldn't bother wasting his time with them, so he proceeded to go check on the fortress.

As soon as he got there, he was both astonished and terrified; the fortess lied in ruin. None of his comrades were to be seen, and it appears all the soldiers had left. This was bad. He'd have to go warn king Midas of what had happened, and provide assistance to him, in case the no-good scum would attack him. And of course to have his revenge against the lame lizard who somehow got lucky enough to beat him.

The rest of the day passed as Tenzodi had fetched a tree from one of the lumberjack camps, which he carved into a canoot (ooc: spelling?!), using the beak of his in his chicken form to do so. As he finished it, it was more than good enough for serving as his boat to travel to Fryygia. Soon, the journey had begun. Odas Vega was left behind, as he used a plank to row through the seawater, while thinking to himself: Bot bot! Don't be afraid, my king...! No birate garbage shall disturb your bleasant days, for the Royal Cabinet will be there to helb you!! Bot boot!

Little did he know, that there were masses of angry looking dark clouds headed for his direction. Had he bothered listening to the loud rumbling noises, he'd possibly have a clue of what to except.

Part 02: Sbontaneous Storm And Subrised By A Marine Cabtain

Spoiler:

Soon enough the sky was pitch black and the amass of raindrops coming down blocked the visibility entirely. The wind was strong enough to move entire islands. Constant rumbling and thunderbolts could be heard and seen in every direction. Tenzodi's canooe (ooc: SPELLING??) turned out to be less capable than excepted as of now. Just then something unexcepted came up. Literally. A huge eel-like sea king came up from the water, baring it's fangs at Tenzodi.

"Booooeeaaagh! Keeb away from me, you giant bunk!" Tenzodi shouted in terror, as the eel jumped off the water, coming down toward him. Tenzodi turned into his chicken-form, quickly preparing an attack. "Feather Satellite!" He shouted, releasing a flock of sharp feathers at the eel. They pierced its tough skin, but didn't seem to hurt it. It was about to come down on Tenzodi, who was busy screaming hysterically. Rumbling followed. Lightning struck the eel, impaling it, as well as crushing Tenzodi's makeshift boat. Eventually the eel sank, as did Tenzodi's ship. Tenzodi fell in the water, passing out.

He woke up. First thing he saw was a bunch of armed marines surrounding them. For some reason, they were standing on the roof. Tenzodi looked around himself. Hordes of marines. This was a ship. And they weren't standing upside down - he was hanging from his feet (or talons, as he was still in his chicken form). Some of the marines whispered to one another. The storm had stopped. Tenzodi had no clue how long he had been uncoscious, but he had got lucky to be saved by the marines just in time. Better yet, as he was in his chicken form, they shouldn't recognize him to be the 19,000,000 belli bounty-head! Bot bot... It's all good. Stubid marine bunks have no clue of my identity, so I'll just bretend to be thankful and then make my escabe! Bot boot!

Or that's what he thought. Just then a man who wasn't wearing a marine uniform showed up, holding Tenzodi's bounty poster. Tenzodi's face turned bright red. The man looked threatening. He was captain Jokamie.

Part 03: Cabtivity

Spoiler:

Jokamie placed his hands in his pockets, while beginning to talk: "Well now... I wonder why you've gone about on your own, mr Tenzodi...?" Tenzodi wouldn't answer. He was biting his bottom lip as hard as he could, thinking of a way to get out of this situation. He couldn't come up with anything. Marines had surrounded him. He was tied up, not only from his talons, but they had also tied his upper body so he couldn't move his wings. Worse yet, this Jokamie had quite the reputation. Jokamie stared at Tenzodi, who looked distant. "I guess he's not talking... Take him inside, then... I'll get some answers out of him later, one way or another..." He said, turning away.

Minutes turned to hours. Tenzodi had been untied, but he was now locked up tight inside a cell. Three guards were playing poker around a table in the same room. Considering the various shouting coming from outside, the ship must've been anchored somewhere, but due to the cell having no windows, and due to the guards not listening, Tenzodi couldn't find out where they were as of now. What if they had passed Fryygia already? What if Jokamie was confronting Midas right now? What if he and Midas were both going to be taken to Impel Down? What if the moon isn't made of cheese? Can't the other two marines notice that the marine with the shirt upside down is the most incompetent bluffer in the entire world? Where does this all lead?!

Part 04: The Triumbhant Escabe

Spoiler:

Jokamie had left the ship. He was discussing things over with the locals, who explained him some points of what had happened in the island. He was getting somewhat concerned while writing his report, now realizing what he was actually going after. But then again, he was going to assist him. There'd be no issues in that case.

Tenzodi had had enough sitting around quietly. He started shouting loudly, trying to pull the jail bars off: "Booot booooot! Stob blaying boker already, you stubid idiots! I'll beat you bunks into a bulb if you won't let me out now! Botbot!" The marines wouldn't answer. They continued playing as if they hadn't heard a thing. Tenzodi continued shouting: "Booot! Say something, you buffoons! Sbeak ub!" No answer. What Tenzodi didn't know, is that the marines had equipped themselves with earplugs. They had been warned by Jokamie of the one fact which Tenzodi was known of - his loud and annoying behaviour. They were prepared.

Tenzodi was pissed off now. He turned into his chicken form, turning around, bending over. One of the marines noticed the prisoner mooning them, which is why he began to point at Tenzodi, laughing quietly. The other two turned to see it as well. They all bursted out laughing. Tenzodi was turning red of anger, while saying: "Artilleggy!" A big white egg fell off, getting through the bars barely. The guards stopped laughing. The egg rolled on the ground briefly, before stopping next to their table. It was dead silent for about ten seconds. Then the guards began laughing again. One of them picked up the egg. He knocked the egg twice, saying something incomprehensible between his constant laughter. Just then the egg explode. The entire room of the ship blew up. The bars of the jail didn't break, but the walls did. A ruckus began onboard. The three guards were all blackened and burned, knocked out each of them. Tenzodi made his exit through the hole made in the wall, getting into the island. He turned back to human form, tapping his cloths a bit to get some of the dust off. He took a look around. It was Fryygia... But it was somehow different.

Part 05: Rebels, Marines, Birate Crews... Bad News

Spoiler:

No soldiers anywhere. Just some rugged bums walking all over the place. After some observation, Tenzodi realized how much they resemble the miners and lumberjacks who used to inhabitate the outpost island. Tenzodi turned his attention to the Royal Castle. The tower was much shorter. The castle looked ruined. Tenzodi sat down, staring at the ground as he tapped his ankle against the ground. Bot... The kingdom is gone. Those stubid birate bunks must've done something unsbeakable... Just then he heard a familiar voice. It looked like the marine captain was discussing with some local old geezer. Some other marine was writing a report.

Just then a whole lot of commotion ensued. More marine ships were coming. One of them was much bigger than the others; moving in front... It surely wasn't an ordinary marine ship. The whole thing was colored dark purple. There were odd, long metal spikes sticking from the sides of the ship. The ship was indeed huge. At least the size of their former castle. It looked like it was covered in metal plating. Tenzodi looked at the sails. They were pitch black. There was a picture of a skull, which had been sliced in half diagonically, with a crooked looking black marine mark placed on top of it. About now Tenzodi realized how fast the ship was moving. The other marine ships were nowhere near it. It pretty much hit the peers of the island more than arrived them. An eerie atmosphere took over. The ship seemed oddly quiet for such a huge ship... As if nobody was aboard. The marine captain Jokamie was waiting nearby, not looking suprised at all. He most likely knew what this was. Tenzodi wanted to get out of here about now.

Part 06: Bromise To Keeb... For The Birate's Bride!

Spoiler:

It took a day or two, but eventually Tenzodi had managed to scrape together food and water, and snatch a boat from the locals. The marines had left the same day as they had arrived, not noticing mr Tenzodi. They had searched for him for some hours, but apparently lost their interest in him after a short while. That evening, the boat was ready for takeoff. Tenzodi pushed it off the shore, and proceeded to travel off into the seas - prepared to head for the next islands on his pursuit for the pirates who ruined everything. As he did, he shouted out loud: "Bot bot! Now, I'll find where those bunks who ruined everything have gone hiding in, and I'll deliver some serious bunishment on them! That I swear on the fact that I am a birate myself! Bot booot! Swear it on my bride as a man! Booooooot!"

Unfortunately, mr Tenzodi had not understood to take a log pose with him. Thus, he was lost in the sea for days. Days turned into weeks. Weeks turned into a month. His food sources were reducing, as were his drinks. During this trip of boredom and starvation, mr Tenzodi soon developed a new way to use his ability. He layed an egg which did not explode. And ate it. Thus, he could manage to go on for a whole lot longer. Yet it was still a big question, if he were to ever find his way into an island again...

Part 07: Old Man Bore's Grocery Shob

Spoiler:

It had been quite a while since anything had happened. At least mr Tenzodi had made a companion for himself out of egg shells, naming him as mr Copteli. The two had some interesting conversations revolving around the meaning of life, among other things.

It was then that it happened. Tenzodi saw an island! It wasn't all that big, but it was an island. As a matter of fact, it was real small to be an island. As a matter of fact, when looking at it closer, those palm trees on it looked like rubber. And the ground below the grass looked like cardboard. This was no island at all! All it had was one small, red house.

Even so, it was the first sign of civilization. Mr Tenzodi made it on the 'island', to see what this house would be all about. There was a sign on it, saying 'Pore's Groceries'. Tenzodi walked indoors. There was nobody there. Empty seats around tables. A fan spinning on the ceiling. Quiet as if in a graveyard. Only thing worth notice was a grey old man in a bath-robe, reading a newspaper. Tenzodi walked to him and knocked the table twice.

Screaming ensued. The old man jumped up high, with newspaper pages flying. Tenzodi did the same. The screaming continued. The old man crashed against a shelf, with whatnot jars and bottles falling off of it. Tenzodi crashed on the floor. The screaming stopped.

Part 08: Tenzodi Helbs The Old Geezer... Not?!

Spoiler:

After the two of them had been breathing heavily for a while, the old man began shouting: "Mur~! What the hell are you scaring me like that for, kid...?!" Just then his eyes widened and his jaw dropped, until he continued: "Mu~! ...A customer! For real...!" He quickly turned around, staring into a mirror and rubbing his face for a while. Then he turned around again, smiling at Tenzodi while rubbing his hands together. "Mur~! What can I do for you, sir...?" He asked, with honey dripping off of his words now.

Tenzodi scratched his ear for a while, before replying: "Bot bot... I'm kind of lost. Could you help me make it to the next island?" The old mans smile vanished. He began looking sad. He sat down on a chair of his, sighing loudly before speaking: "Muu~! I should've known that nobody comes here unless they're completely lost... Oh well... Here you go, kid...!" He hurled a log pose to Tenzodi, which pointed somewhere. Tenzodi nodded, turning around and heading for the door. The old man sighed loudly. Tenzodi opened the exit door. The old man sighed louder. Tenzodi walked through the door, outside. The old man sighed even louder. The door shut behind Tenzodi, as footsteps were getting more and more distant. The old man was quiet now. All that remained was the quiet sound of the fan on the ceiling.

"Fine, fine! Tell me about your stubid broblems then, old fart...! Bot boot!" Tenzodi shouted, while kicking the door in. The old man looked away, to hide the big smile covering his face.

Part 09: Tenzodi Saves The Bore Family Business

Spoiler:

The old geezer proceeded to explain mr Tenzodi of everything that had happened. This was once a famous restaurant, one that had always belonged to the family of Pore; famous of it's tasty omelets (sp?). Unfortunately, the family Tull, which was the one that provided the restaurant with eggs, stopped doing business with the Pores, for reasons still unknown. Thus, the restaurant was unable to do omelets, which is why the customers abandoned them. Eventually it stopped being a restaurant, as the old man Pore turned it into a grocery store.

Tenzodi had been drinking some juice which the old geezer gave him. He rubbed his chin for a while, thinking. Eventually he raised a finger while asking: "Bot bot... All righty. Where's the bathroom?" The old man pointed toward a door on the other side of the restaurant. Tenzodi stood up from his seat, walked to the toilet and closed the door behind him. Short break followed. All that could be heard once again was the fan spinning. Just then a quiet moan came out of the toilet. Followed by a quiet groan. Followed by a loud groan. The old man Pore was confused now, but didn't say anything. The groaning continued, getting louder and louder.

Hours passed. The old man tried to ask if everything was all right, but no answer came. After about a whole three hours straight, the door of the toilet opened. Eggs rolled out. Tenzodi looked sweatty and tired, collapsing on the floor. The whole bathroom was full of fresh eggs now!

[Shadowing]

Seishin was having a meal at the local pub, bought from the last of his money. Quite annoyed with the cheap quality of the food, he thought to himself he really needed a job, since he had no friends in town who could support him.

Just then someone barged into the pub and everyone went quiet.
A stranger...that's odd. Who'd want to come here?
More importantly, coming here means a ship. A ship could mean a temporary job.

And thus Seishin decided to keep an eye on the stranger

[Deathtanz Mantisk]

Salkut walked calmly across the pub. He wasn't quite aware of the fact that people silenced due to his arrival. Kinda quiet little town. I've seen more activity down by the local cemetery..., he thought to himself, as he reached the bar counter. He looked left and right past the barkeep, glaring at the bottles present, although he was more interested of the little pot on the counter with cookies in it. There was a price tag on the side of the pot though. Salkut pointed at a big bottle of vodka at the top shelf, grinning at the barkeep.

The barkeep grunted in an accepting manner before turning around to fetch a stool. As soon he had turned around, a noise of something zipping fast could be heard behind him. He turned around. Salkut looked away as if nothing had happened. Cookie droppings were scattered across the counter. The barkeep turned around again, but as soon as he did, the same zipping sound came out again. He turned around faster. Salkut's mouth looked like it was full of something. The amount of cookies in the pot had reduced.

The barkeep slowly picked up the stool, not letting his eyes off the stranger. He placed the stool next to the spot where the bottle was, climbing it. As soon as he turned around to grab the bottle, the zipping sound could be heard again. As fast as lightning the barkeep turned around to see what was going on, but lost his balance while doing so, barely managing to grab the shelf of bottles to hold on. Several bottles fell down, crashing into the floor. Eventually the barkeep fell down, with the shelf following him shortly after. The counter was a mess. Cookie was sticking out of Salkut's mouth. He turned to look at the people glaring at him. The barkeep must've been knocked out. Salkut shrugged, grabbed the pot with the remaining cookies and started heading out of the bar.

[Shadowing]

The stranger, who had just caused some major ruckus, was now heading out of the bar with the stolen cookies in his hand.

Seishin used soru to suddenly appear right in front of him and confront him.

''Do you know what you have just done? You just walk into a bar, a total stranger, and you steal the cookies. The whole town will be against you now. You better pay up and apologise.
*whispers in between*: ''Nice tongue movement. Perhaps a devil fruit ability?''

[Deathtanz Mantisk]

"Eh?" Salkut didn't get any of what Seishin had said, as he was still trying to get past the part where he was taken by suprise. He took one of the cookies from the pot and took a bite out of it, speaking with his mouth full. "That was sweeeeell...! How'd you do that?"

[Shadowing]

''That is not the matter at hand. Do you even have money? If not I might be able to get some credit here for arresting you.'' ''Provided you don't have a better offer.''

Seishin took an impact dial out of his pocket.

[Deathtanz Mantisk]

"Arreeest me...?" Salkut pulled out a wide grin, before bursting laughing. "Weehe-hehe-ehehe-erk" Some of the cookies in his mouth went down his throat and he started coughing loudly. After slamming himself in the chest a few times and spitting some of them out, he got himself back together. He placed his right hand in his pocket. "Yeah, sure. I got pleeeenty of money." He tilted his head a bit to see past Seishin, looking at the bar counter. The barkeep hadn't moved at all. "But then again... Sunshine over there is taking a nap - which I wouldn't like to interrrruuupt."

Salkut turned back to look at Seishin, smiling at him. "If it goes down to it, can't we solve thiiiis outside? We might come into some sort of agreeeement."

[Shadowing]

Seishin pointed at the barkeep's wife, standing beside her knocked out husband. ''You can always pay her if you don't want to disturb her husband's little nap.''

He then turned around, showing his back to the man, whose name he still hadn't received. Meanwhile activating his mantra, so he'd have plenty of time to react, might he be attacked.

''Anyways, I'd be glad to take this outside. We won't be a bother to the others then.''

[Deathtanz Mantisk]

"Mmm-hm." Salkut nodded, looking at the barkeeps wife. He had originally intended to reach for his gun, but just now realized that he had earlier placed it in the wrong pocket. (OOC: Damn... I just realized that it was actually the right pocket where the gun should be. Had to improvise a bit to fix this. >.<) Since he had a bunch of coins in this pocket, he pulled a few out, placing them on one of the tables while following Seishin outside. In his head he was laughing at how he ripped the barkeep off with the price of the cookies, but had actually paid more than double of their worth.

OOC: I'd presume you were going outside. :P

[Shadowing]

Seishin turned around, a bit surprised by the fact that the man didn't only pay, but paid twice the amount of money the cookies had cost.

''Ok now, what kind of agreement did you have in mind? I think the business side of it is over now that you've paid.''

OOC: Yep I was XD, actually prepared for an cowardly attack from behind (your captain seemed that kind of person based on his character profile :P)
