This storyline happened while the nova pirates were sailing towards Saint Reia. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ As Cirrus laid on the deck taking a short afternoon nap, not caring about what had happened on the Karate Island. His chest rose and fell, as he took in one long breath after another. As he laid there, he could feel the breeze against the sail, pushing the ship towards Saint Reia....... In his dream, he was on the Truth-n-Dare Island. The island was like a huge circus, there were stunts men everywhere. Clowns and jugglers at every street corner, and it weren't unusual to see high wire acts on the island. The island was Cirrus's homeland. Cirrus was born on Truth-n-Dare Island to the Intortus family, otherwise known as the clouds family. Everyone in that family had the name, Cirrus. No matter the person was male or female, they would be known as Cirrus. Not long after he was born, his parents left the island. He never did find out where they went and if they were even still alive. Cirrus was always alone, and being the last of the Intortus family, he took the name with pride. Even though he could never understand the meaning of his family name and also the reason why they were all named Cirrus, he intended to find out. Cirrus had a tough childhood, growing up being teased and beaten up by other children, for he was named after clouds. Without any protections from his parents, he was always the target of the bullies. |

Cirrus had a tough childhood, growing up being teased and beaten up by other children of the islanders. He had to endure each blows and each insults they threw at him. It wasn't the life he wanted, he craved for changes. Changes had to be made in order for him to become stronger. Cirrus decided to train himself physically. Even though he started jogging and running every morning, all that resulted was a much better stamina. He needed instructions from someone experienced. Because he had no money, he was turned down at every dojo he went. He was ready to give up, when Cirrus met someone. A sword man dressed in red robes, asked Cirrus 'What is it that is hindering your process to become stronger?' 'Money. It is just that because I am poor, no dojo would accept me.' Cirrus answered without giving much thought. 'Ignorant fool. Money cannot buy you everything. It can never buy whatever I am about to teach you.' the sword man said. Cirrus couldn't believe his ears, all his hope came back. Over the next few days, his master only taught him two moves. The Spinning block and Dashing Three Slash. Cirrus was puzzled why his master didn't teach him more moves. Finally, he couldn't hold it anymore, 'Why did you only teaching me these two moves?' 'That's enough. You are clearly stronger than before. You should be glad.' his master replied angrily. Cirrus didn't wish to invoke the wrath of his master, so he never asked for more techniques. |

After mastering the spinning block and dashing three slash, Cirrus felt that he was ready to fight against the bully. He had gotten his first katana from his master. It was funny that even though Cirrus and the sword man had trained together for quite a while, they never knew each other names. They only addressed each other as master and student. The last lesson his master taught him, was to find his own path of fighting. His master explained that a sword man could only get stronger when he understands the way he fight. 'Techniques can be taught, Strength can be trained. However, will power can only be found within the sword man himself. Only when all three elements are united will one be a true sword man.' His master said as he parted. Anyways, Cirrus decided to hunt down those bullies who had torment him for years. It was finally the time for his revenge. Cirrus had no idea how long he had wanted a moment in which he could turn the table against them. If Cirrus had thought it through, he would have realized that by hunting down the bullies, he himself had also become a bully. But at that moment, all that was on his mind was to pay back everything they had given him. His sense of anger became the motivation for him to get stronger. Cirrus knew he was no longer that weak little boy. He was a sword man, he was Cirrus. Edited by jake, Sep 22 2009, 05:18 AM.

Cirrus went back to his village. As always, there were jugglers and also stuntmen at every street corner, if it was some other days, Cirrus would had stopped and watched the show. But all that was on his mind was to find the bullies who had made his life miserable. 'Well well well, who do we have here?' Cirrus immediately recognized that voice. It was the one of bullies. 'It seemed that they found me first.' he thought as he turned around to meet the three of them. All three of the bullies were there. The leader was a huge and muscular boy, Anthony. The other two were just henchmen; they seldom said anything at all. They would just follow whatever commands Anthony gave them. The moment Cirrus turned around, Anthony threw a pebble at him. Due to his training, Cirrus immediately repelled the pebble by executing Spinning block. The three bullies were shocked, never once had Cirrus managed to repel or even dodged the pebbles threw at him. They weren't sure if it was just a lucky deflection, or that Cirrus had learned some new technique. Spoiler: click to toggle Seeing their astonished faces, Cirrus was feeling glad. Without waiting for the bullies to strike again, he immediately executed his one and only attacking technique at Anthony. 'Dashing Three Slash' yelled Cirrus as he dashes past Anthony. Spoiler: click to toggle 'These three slash is for making my miserable!' Cirrus stood there and said as Anthony fell face first. The other two bullies didn't really know what to do, with their leader defeated. After seeing fresh red blood dripping off the blade of Cirrus's katana, they ran off. |

After defeating Anthony, Cirrus felt much better. He went back home. It was a small little hut near the outskirt of the village. After he went to the hut, he wiped off the blood on his katana with a cloth. Then he went to bed. The elders of the village came in the middle of the night. Without even waking Cirrus, they dragged him out of the hut. Cirrus was still asleep until one of the villagers pour cold water over his head. 'What the hell?' Cirrus said as he rubbed his eyes. 'Elders, we found a cloth with fresh blood on it. It seemed that the rumor is true. Cirrus killed Anthony.' a villager reported. 'Anthony died?' Cirrus wasn't too sure if it was true. But since he didn't check the body, after he executed that move, he couldn't be too sure. 'What do you have to say for yourself?' one of the elders said while pointing to the bloodied cloth with his crane. 'What do you mean Anthony was killed? I only gave him three small cuts.' Cirrus replied immediately. The other villagers were clearly anger at Cirrus's statement and were chanting, 'A life for a life!' The elder with the crane rose both of his arms, and the chanting stopped. Then he said, 'Since you don't even admit to murdering Anthony, we can't afford to keep you in the village. Be thankful that we didn't hang you for what you had committed.' 'You are to leave this island before dawn. We can't afford to keep a murderer on this island.' the elder added. Cirrus was clearly angry with the decision. He never wanted to leave this island. But out of his anger he said, 'Fine! But I will be back someday. You guys are going to be sorry.' Without replying to Cirrus, the villagers left. After they walked a few steps, the elder said, 'You have until dawn.' |

After the villagers left, Cirrus sat there dazed. He still couldn't believe that Anthony had been killed by him. As he thought through his confrontation with the bullies earlier that day, he really couldn't be sure if the cuts he gave were fatal. 'If the villagers are convinced that I did it, then it is me.' Cirrus said as he went back into his hut. He put on his white suit, then he took his katana and was about to leave when he saw someone standing in front of the door. It was his master, the sword man dressed in red robes. 'I came here when I heard you killed someone.' he said as he stood there. 'It is true I killed someone. I can't stay on this island anymore. I believe that it is time for me to go adventuring.' Cirrus said with a sad smile. All his life, Cirrus had never left Truth-n-Dare Island. He never thought that he would be thrown out of his village. 'Once a katana tasted blood, it will always be hungry for more. In a way, it could be a blessing for you to become stronger.' his master said, trying to cheer him up. Seeing that Cirrus didn't reply to his statements, he added, 'Remember the first time we met, the question I asked you?' What is it that is hindering your process to become stronger?' the question immediately popped up in Cirrus's mind. He answered, 'Yes, I did. I will never forget anything you teach me.' 'Actually, that was also the question my master asked me. Do you know how I answer it? I told my master that it is ambition which hinders my process. Cirrus, do not ever bow down to fate. The moment you admit defeat is the limit you can ever reach. You must have the ambition to be the very best.' his master said. Listening to his master's final lesson to him, Cirrus pondered for a few moments. Then he answered, 'I will never bow down to fate.' As Cirrus walked towards the door, his master stepped aside and commented, 'Live by the sword, die by the sword.' Cirrus didn't stop; he continued to walk away, leaving his master in the hut...... |

Cirrus woke up when he heard a shout. As he took a look at where the ship was, he could see land. It seemed that the ship had reached Saint Reia. After Cirrus stood up, thinking of that weird dream he had. 'Long time since I had a dream. Got to have some ambition.', he thought as he remembered the last part of the dream. But he didn't have anymore time to ponder on it, the Nova Pirates' 'Capture the flag' were about to start soon. He remembered he promised Sally not to kill any innocents on this island. The plan that was discussed in the kitchen before his nap ran through Cirrus's mind. He had to make sure he knew what he had to do. It seemed that each of them had to get something precious from the marines. Holding his katana to his chest, he thought about what he was going to be taking from the marines. 'What would be considered precious to the marines?' Cirrus thought hard. |
