The day had started off quietly for the Void Pirates. Their new comrade June turned out to be quite the navigator. The antenna's on her elbows made her more acute to sensing changes in the weather and picking up direction of the wind quite fast. The captain and his new Navigator were planning out what island was best to go to. Nate needed some information before he could move on.

"I should actually keep some people alive... Might get me some information on the underground movements..."

Nate joked, as it was becoming a routine that he killed anyone with any kind of criminal background. Although this was mostly because whenever they encountered one, they ended up picking a fight with Nate.

The cook, Ko and his trusted compadré, Haviér were busy with breakfast. The smell of delicious food surrounded the ship. It was a peaceful morning. But... That wouldn't last for long. At the horizon, slowly three ships appeared. The three ships were doing their best to catch up to the Void Pirates their ship.

"There they are!"

One man pointed at the Void Pirates their ship. He was on the ship that was leading the three boats. With the wind in their sail, they pursuit was nearing an end. They would get Melissa and Zulu for what they did to them.

Nate on the other hand, wasn't exactly paying attention to the ships. He was too busy looking at the map, trying to figure out where they were right now. But nonetheless, it was going to become a busy day for the Void Pirates.

Ah yes. The calmth of the ocean was a deceitful mistress. For hours now Ko had been in a contest with the spirits of the blue. Every cloud on soiling the perfect azure sky had gotten a stern glare and disappeared into nothingness. Today Ko would not allow even the gods of weather themselves to mess things up!! Ko broke of his staring contest with the sky knowing fully well that radiating any more manliness upon the unprepared vast blueness would cause an eventual rift in the time and space continuum and end life as they knew it.

"Ah yes. I believe the time has come for Haviér and me to produce a breakfast of manliness"

With his foot on the rail of the ship Ko stood bravely. The wind blowing by causing his hair to dance as he crossed his arms. Once again he would have to face the dangers of the blue in order to acquire food but he was no longer on his own. With Haviér standing in the exact same pose next to him Ko spoke up. It was time to introduce June to the cooking methods of Koumi Ko.

"Hello June, how are you? Fantastic. Are you hungry? Do you want something hand made by me? Of course!! Should I use old spices in my breakfast? I don't know, do you like the taste of perfection? Do you want a breakfast that tastes like a million tiny bowls of perfection crafted by the gods tailor made for your taste buds? Of course you do!!"

With those words Ko's arms spread as he soared trough the sky as he leapt into the ocean.

"Swan dive!! Into the best meal of your life!!"

While Ko was busy with his rant and had jumped into the ocean Haviér was making a fire in the middle of the deck. It was somehow perfectly contained to the spot Haviér had designated as the fire spot despite the fact that there were no stone borders or special measures to prevent the fire from spreading. While Haviér made sure the fire was ready Ko returned carrying a large catfish once more.

"So June, tell me, should your dice be filled with old spices? You tell me"

While Ko spoke the words the catfish was already skewered and toasting above the fire. Ko himself spun around once now holding a tray of chocolate parfait. The man turned to Nate offering him some of the tasty desert before turning to June. It was good having another man on the crew. Yes. Although woman in body June was a man in spirit. He just felt it.

While Ko continued handing out randomly prepared dishes of food Haviér sat at the edge of the ship in a rocking chair. A line cast into the ocean as he held his rod and leaned back lazily. His fisherman's hat pulled over his eyes. Life was good.

"For June, it had been hard to find a place in her new crew at first. She could not just stay with Nate and Ko without giving them something in return, but she had no useful skills as far as she knew. This confusion of hers only a bit. Shortly after being accepted into the crew, the fishwoman noticed that Nate and Ko shared one big weakness. They were helpless as predicting the weather. They barely had any navigational skills. Neither did June, but she was a special kind of fishwoman. She had an in-built navigation 'device'. The antenna's on her arms allowed her to sense minute weather changes and the direction of the wind, granting her naturally great skills at navigating at sea.

"I'm doi- Yea- I wou..."

June tried to answer Ko's questions as he spoke to her, but she quickly gave up. He never gave her the chance to answer. He seemed content with answering his own questions, and June decided to let him do that. Instead, she looked at Haviér, the resident horse of the crew. A horse that could cook. A horse that could pose.

When Ko jumped into the ocean--it would actually make sense if June had been the one fishing since she was quite an adept swimmer--Haviér was already starting a fire. Somehow. June just shook her head and tried to ignore the horse. Nothing made sense on this ship... Ko soon returned with a catfish in his hand.

"I would like to taste perfection, so... Sure, I'd like old spices."

Whatever that was. June was actually surprised Ko had taken to her so quickly considering his personality. Then again, she was apparently the princess of yonder. She would hopefully come to understand Ko with time. She smiled and grabbed a piece of whatever it was Ko was offered to her and Nate. She took a bit.

It hit her hard.

"I don't know that this is, but it's good. Really good. Are you a professional chef or... is Haviér fishing...?"

Nate took the chocolate parfait from his trusty cook. He took a bite from it and nodded content. Like always, the meals the cook delivered lived up to the expectations of the captain. But that was of no importance right now. The route to the next island. That's where Nate wanted to focus on.

"Good, good... Though, didn't I say to be careful with fires?"

Though the captain couldn't allow for his cook not to know that Nate enjoyed the meal. He still needed to adress these fires Ko always started. Nate turned back to the map. June had truly been a help with her navigation skills. It was an important asset to Nate.

"Don't worry too much June... We'll never understand the ways of Ko. Much like how he always anwsers his own questions, it is what he does."

Nate remarked with a grin. It was an enjoyable day. Nice breeze, fresh air. At peace on the sea. But this relative peace was interrupted brutally. A voice spoke up, trough a megaphone. Nate looked up from the sound, as he walked to the edge of the ship.

"YOU THERE! WE COMMAND YOU TO STOP AND SURRENDER!"

The man on the front boat blared trough the megaphone. Nate looked at June, Haviér and Ko. The Captain wondered if they were getting attacked by other pirates and pillaged. But before he could speak up, an explanation followed.

"If you wish to live. You will surrender Melissa and Zulu to us peacefully! If you do not, you will perish with them!"

The man shouted, Nate's head cocked to the side. Melissa? Zulu? What? The Captain turned around to look at Ko. Outside June, Izaku and Blitzkrieg, Nate hadn't exactly met anyone on the last island. So what could these people be on about?

"Ko, did you make any enemies on the last island?"

Back on the other ships, people were quite busy moving around. They were already loading cannons, just waiting for a sign to start attacking or stand down. But the Void Pirates weren't exactly aware of this.

It seemed that unlike Nate the Princes of Yonder named June had no idea how to handle Ko's craziness just yet. It was allot to take in after all. Not many people could conjure up random creations of insanity without any type of apparent effort. When June complied stating that she would like old spices in her food there seemed to be a jolt of lightning rushing trough Ko. When one asked for old spices one got old spices!! The dish in Ko's hands starting glowing a brilliant light as Ko channeled the inner flames of testosterone into it.

There was an eerie chant, the sky darkened while the dish continued lighting up becoming a beacon of hope in the darkness. The cook heard it all, crying children, barking dogs, the screams of the Yonder War. Suddenly the waves next to the ship exploded, the tray was in Nate's hands while Ko ripped his white shirt of his chest unleashing a feral roar of nature. Lightning struck the dish and Nate but nothing seemed to happen other then the fact that the lit disappeared from the dish in Nate's hands leaving a perfectly cooked stake on the platter.

There was a moment of silence while Ko stared at Nate. Normally the trademark deep voiced "Faaantastic" would have been uttered in perfect fashion but now Ko just stared at Nate awkwardly before finally saying what was on his mind. He had seen some crazy things but.... Had Nathaniel just been hit by thunder?

"What ludicrous behavior is this Nathaniel Bonoval? Did you just get hit by lightning? Have you reached a level of manliness where you can conjure up lightning by sheer force of will? What is your Manliness Level?"

His index fingers and thumbs rose up pressing against each other to form a square over his right eye. The cook started making a beeping noise as he stared at Nate scouting the man's level of manliness. Hmmm.....

"A Gentleman's 5. You are no more manly then a mere child, Nathaniel Bonoval. I guess the lightning was a simple freak accident of nature"

Havier lowered his rod looking at Ko. It seemed that he was still not completely in control of his manliness. There was still much the young warrior of Yonder had to learn but... Until they found Otoking that task was impossible to achieve. It was why Havier had vowed to look after the young destined one until the time of prophecy came. When June addressed Haviers fishing the horse and cook turned to look at the fishwoman. Havier stood up lowering his rod completely and putting his hind hoof on it while he turned to June.

"Fishing? My dear deluded Princes, I do not fish. Fishing implies the possibility of failure which is impossible for me. You see. I am simply catching fish using this fairly simplistic rod as tool without any possibility of failure"

"Plus, my esteemed four legged colleague is not wearing a speedo and party hat"

So fishing was pretty much out of the question. The man's hands rested on his hips as he addressed June's other question. A sudden light broke trough the clouds shining down upon Ko as he laughed his manly laughter. The ukulele strapped around his neck was strummed by fingers of awesomeness as Ko started on a song of the manly gods. The fabric of reality warping around him as he was surrounded by rainbows and sparkling stars.

"Why yes. I am a professional chef. Trained in the arts of Ryouiryu kitchen methods I have prepared more dishes then there are stars in the sky. These manly hands have created miracles the likes of which you have never seen. Will your taste buds weep in happiness when treated to my cooking? Yes they will"

The last snare was hit as the perfect background music ended, standing there bare chested Ko smiled content. Havier's hoofs rubbing his bared chest so the olive oil made it shine nice and bright. Once done Ko jumped backwards flipping over a few times and spinning into a sleeping bag. He hit the ground with a loud thud, a nightcap on his head and eye mask completing his outfit.

"zZzZzZzZzZz"

For a moment Ko laid upon the ground sleeping like a toddler until Nate accused him of something so heinous he had no choice but to get up. The man bolted on his feet zipping open his sleeping back with the majestic grace of a justice filled lion named Shin. His ridiculously red one piece pajama and Otoking stuffed animal greatly reducing the level of manliness he claimed to uphold or... Did it?

"BONOVAL!! HOW DARE YOU!! HOW DARE YOU ASSUME THOSE ENEMIES WERE MADE BY ME!! AFTER ALL WE HAVE BEEN YOU SHOULD KNOW I DON'T MAKE ENEMIES!! I!! KOUMI KO!! MAKE MANEMIES!!"

Lightning struck as Ko stood pointing at Nate with the finger of a million accusations. How dared he!! Did he not understand the severity of this insult? Nate was his captain so Ko would not dream of truly raising his hand at him but he could not refrain from giving him a verbal lashing in the form of a knowledge update. Nathaniel had to know the difference between enemies and manemies!!

"Allow me to explain Bonoval!! The key difference between enemies and manemies is fairly simple. Where enemies are simply cretins of darkness also often named woman, manemies are manly sentient beings of corrupted innocence in need of redemption. My comrade, Commodore Finley, recently fought one of these beings alongside my noble steed. Right Havier?"

"Right you are, my friend. The battle was hard fought against Blitzkrieg but we prevailed. I hope that in time he will be redeemed by our soothing soul lingering in the loins of his Yonder aura"

While saying these things a loud explosion was heard from in front of Havier. Without breaking his gaze upon Nate's eyes Havier stood behind a smoking cannon. In the distance one of the ships exploded. Ko stood gazing upon the rising flames, his hands on his hips while a smile broke trough.

"Faaantastic"

Outside the Casino situated on Librie Island, a lone figure, not native to these parts walked. His heavy equipment and armor clanking together as he trudged along. He had been away from home for some time now, searching for a calling.

Hektor Acadia took his helmet off and held it to his side with his arm as he wiped the sweat off of his forehead with his other hand, until something caught his eye.

A sign, on the wall of the building he travelled by.

*Think you have luck? Talent? Ready for a challenge? Try our tables today!*

The big man's eyes narrowed as he read the sign. Interesting. Ready for a challenge? If there was anything he lived his life by, it was a challenge. He readily came at anything with full intention on winning, and if this challenge was issued towards him, he would do all in his power to accept, and win!

The great Trojan knelt down, raising his right hand to his forhead, his eyes closing before he began to speak.

"Ploutos bless me in my ventures, and have my back in this endevour."

And with that, Hektor stood up, and headed towards the doors of the casino. It was time to see if the gods truly blessed him this day. Time to win some wealth and glory on this island. If he did well, he may have truly found his home at last!

"I guess..."

June muttered weakly as Nate told her not to worry about Ko and his strange mannerisms. She would gladly follow his advice, but it was simply impossible for her to accept the existence of a man such as Ko. The world was filled with strange things: humans, fishmen, gigantic underwater animals, and even fruits granting magical powers. Ko, however, made no sense even in a world filled with all those things.

Unless... Devil Fruit!

That was it! June had it all figured out. Ko must have found and eaten a most strange Devil Fruit granting him the power to create things out of thin air and defy logic. With her new found realization, her entire body eased up and small smile broke forth on her face as she took another bite of whatever it was Ko had prepared for her.

Then he said it. Speedo and party hat. She suddenly remembered that Ko had dived into the ocean back when she first met him. He could not have a devil fruit or he would have sunk to his death back then. She closed her eyes and ran a scaly hand through her hair gently. It was instinct to do such things carefully since she would not want to cut herself or something. Her arms were filled with sharp parts.

"... Did... Haviér just shoot at those men?"

Nate stared at the meal in his hand that had changed, before looking at Ko. He actually hadn't finished eating that. But there was no way around it.

"Still not Bonoval and still not Bonoval."

Nate simply stated it twice after each other. That Ko with that random naming. The captain looked back at the three ships. They wouldn't be the easiest way of dealing with them. At least not as long as Nate knew what was happening. Nate's attention got nabbed by Ko again. The captain stared at Ko, who was like always going out everyone's way to give an answer to his question. The Captain stared dully at Ko. It was something Ko did. And something Nate lived with. Although sometimes there wasn't a really wasn't any time for such a lengthy explanation. At least Ko was loyal. And thus, Nate would endure.

"Still not Bonoval."

Nate mentioned this, when Ko once again remarked the non-existent middle name Ko had given him. Nate seemed more or less unaware that lightning conjured by Ko had just hit him.

"Still not Bonoval."

And a second time to signify that no matter how many times Ko would use the name, Nate would never accept it. He'd just correct Ko over and over. As often as it was needed to get it trough his head.

A sudden explosion startled Nate. It was too close for it to be one of the three ships that were pursuing them. Nate once again started to stare dully at Ko. He couldn't believe what just had happened... Had Haviér really just...

"Did Haviér just fire the cannon...? I don't even..."

Nate placed his palm against his face as he slowly started to shake his head. He couldn't believe what had just happened. He had given no such order to do so. Nor was Ko really helping.

The three ships a slight panic started. The crews obviously hadn't expected for these pirates to open fire like that on them. The crews scurried around, the cannon had hit the side. The shipwrights were doing their best to close the hole, while other started to prepare the cannon.

"Cannons ready?!"

The Captian asked, raising his arm into the sky. He glanced at his men who all gave a nod. The man lowered his arms and fuses were lit and in mere moments later multiple blasts sounded.

"FIRE! DESTROY THEM!"

"I should take a note of this... Haviér can be prone to shooting cannons..."

Nate remarked, but his words were mostly swallowed by the sounds of the blasting cannons. The captain gritted his teeth, before tuning to look at his crew.

"Ko, take the rudder and make evasive actions. June. As a fishwoman, you'd have no problem getting to those ships and taking them out. Just make plenty of holes and they'll be down in no time."

Having a fishwoman was quite handy to have in a naval battle. It gave quite an upper hand. You could get close and deal destructive blows to the opponents ships that were hard to stop. A brief remark popped into the captain's head.

"Take one prisoner. I want to know what they were talking about."

Clear as could be. A simple task. Evade the cannons and let June take out their ships. Not a difficult task for the Void Pirates to complete.
=====

Two men at the door looked at Hector as he approached the casino. One briefly moved closer to the other and whispered something in his ear. The other inspected Hector a second time, before slowly nodding.

"Welcome..."

The man muttered as both bouncers opened the door for Hector to come in. Inside there were plenty of people. A lot of noise and plenty of drinks. As of course, there was always something to do there.

A large man inspected Hector. He at least towered above Hector by a head. Not only that, the man was broad. His clothing indicated he was rather important inside the casino. The scruff large man was head of security, the head bouncer Mcgiven.

"Goodday sir."

The man greeted Hector as he passed. Hector had entered quite a big building at that. There was a stage for entertainment. Multiple tables, for poker, blackjack, roulette and craps. Further more there was a row of slot machines.

And not only that. The tables had their dealers, while there were also chip-girls walking around in skimpy clothing. But what would a casino be, without a bar? Behind the bar a large man stood, cleaning glasses. While two girls stood next to help, pouring drinks. It was a busy day, like any day in the casino.

Ko stood his majestic proud stance as he observed June. As the senior on this ship he was tasked with looking after the younger entires. With a towel wrapped around his waist and nothing else the man walked past June and Nate never breaking eye contact with the first mentioned.

"Princess of Yonder don't be weird. Haviér would not fire a cannon. If by any chance that cannon was fired while in the vicinity of Haviér it was most likely a premature ejaculation forced onto the item by the sheer manliness radiated by my esteemed companion Longsnout. You see, most people think inanimate objects don't feel but I beg to differ. When reaching a certain level of manliness your aura entangles with the very threads of existence and life itself. Unfortunately the esteemed Longsnout has yet to master his control over this powerful new way of existing within the limited boundaries of the universe. It was only recently that I conjured him into existence after all. Past included, mind you"

The eye contact never broke despite the fact he he walked past the scenery shifts such as a sauna, gym bathroom and even mountain rage as he went along. His hand rested on the shoulder of Haviér. He took full blame for the mishap caused by the manliness of his friend.

"I apologize for this mishap. I shall make sure this never happens again. From now on I will be watching you all. And not in a creepy way. Only in public places and appropriate times from afar like a big brother slash super hero life figure minus the biological relation who cares about your safety deeply"

A thin veil of smoke rose from the recently fired barrel of the cannon on the Void Pirates ship. Against anyones expectations the peculiar Haviér Longsnout had managed to hit one of the ships giving chase to the pirates vessel. Although the horses gaze had never broken a bead of sweat did roll down his temple when he realized he had actually done more damage then good. The manliest of all horses flicked his wrist as he stood on it's hind legs throwing the match he held in the ocean before raising his hoof to point at June.

"My apologies Captain Bonoval. I was not aware of the inanimate object orgasms I could cause by simply being within their vicinity. This level of manliness is still hard to control. The focus of my mind wavered after the Princess of Yonder joined the crew. Although my heart and mind accept it my soul of manliness still burns with a power of disdain. In due time my aura shall learn to accept the presence of this illustrious princes who switched sides to join our noble cause but until then... Please bear with me"

"Maaantastic. Now that that's out of the way we should focus on the matters at hand. Nathaniel Bonoval Sharp!! How many times do I have to tell you!! I have had it young man!!"

With his chiseled chest bared the man stood in front of Nate. His hands on his hips and his towel still magically wrapped around his waist without sliding down even an inch. The knot was infused with manliness after all. It would never let go unless willed by Ko himself. With eyes burning with passion he continued speaking to his captain. Not with disrespect, no, he did it with the utmost respect but that didn't mean he'd allow Nate to walk all over the proper use of language. This was exactly why Nate never topped 9000 ML and had to resort to using Kaio-Men to power up. Ludicrous!! LUDICROUS!!

"YOU DON'T EVEN WHAT?? TELL ME, NATHANIEL BONOVAL SHARP!! BY THE GODS OF MANLINESS I SHALL MAKE YOU SEE THE TRUTH, NATHANIEL BONOVAL SHARP!! I!! KOUMI K-"

But then it happened. His rant of epicness was rudely interrupted by the thundering sound of a cannon firing. Now. Ko could accept many things. Haviér firing at ships. Nate blowing things up. June sinking things. Generally he was a very tolerant man. Despite the fact his companions were bat-shit crazy and honestly... A little over the top, he learned to accept and love it. That was how grand this man's love for all life was. Except when you were a woman of course but.... He was not to blame for that. Anyway, returning to the point I was trying to make, his tolerance quite reached quite possibly the size of the universe and beyond but there was one thing he could not stand. Getting his rant interrupted.

"Evasive actions...?"

His eyes widened as he cast a stern look at the rudder. It turned 90 degrees avoiding the first barrage of cannon balls. Ko spun around, a shirt appearing the moment he faced the ships again. His fingers dug into the fabric as he unleashed a roar so ferocious the waves seemed to stop for a few seconds. He would not stand for this insane violation of his sacred man-rights. Not to mention... The initial shot had caused him to drop his manwich.

"MAAAAAAAAAAANWIIIIIIIIIIIIICH!! I SHALL AVENGE YOU!! CHEEEEEEEEESTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"

With a jump so powerful it was almost godlike Ko soared trough the air. To everyone else it just looked like a normal jump but Ko knew better. He simply understood that time and space itself could not comprehend and thus bend and twisted until reality had been warped so much he appeared to be jumping normally. The cannonballs came and they came hard but it mattered not. The collision was epic. It was grand. It was crazy. It was... Insanely effective. With chiseled passion the cannonballs somehow flew back to the ship that fired them as Ko landed. His fingers rubbing his chin while the sun rose in the background. A sparkle flashed from his teeth as he smiled at Nate and June in the most sexy fashion they could ever see a man smile.

"Maaantastic...."

Hektor bowed his head to the men welcoming him at the doors. This was a friendly place, wasn't it? Reminded him of Troy, back on Olympus. A friendly bunch those Trojans were.

Saluting the massive man at his comment, Hektor gave him a false smile.

"May the gods bless you sir."

He answered, being as polite as possible. This man was going out of his way to be kind to Hektor, he would be graced with that sort of talk. Though he was not supersticious himself, a blessing by the gods from anyone was always a nice compliment.

Walking over to one of the chip girls, he coughed slightly, getting her attention.

How can I help you today sir?

The firl in the skimpy outfit responded, giggling slightly and winking at him. She pursed her lips in a ditsy manner as she awaited his answer.

"Em... could I trouble you, to buy some of the currency at this establishment?"

"That's what I am here for cutey~"

Hektor, without saying anything, produced his money, all of it. He was embarassed by the girl acting like this to him, and this was nervous and offered up all of his money. What was the point in not going high today?

After counting up his money, she got him the chips he had purchased, and dropped them into his open hands.

"Enjoy your stay!"

Hektor flashed the girl a smile before looking on to the tables. People were gathered around everywhere, and little space was left for him to find.

Soon, the Acadia'n looked to see a lone table, with very few people. A shady looking dealer was waving him down.

The big man from Troy walked over to the table, and read the sign. Blackjack.

"Care to try your odds big guy?"

Walking through the Casion with a stack off chips in one hand, and a book in the other, was a man who barely looked legal to be in the club itself. He looked up to the Poker tables that he had been to so many times before. He looked over the tables for and open sit and quickly found himself one. With a smile on his face he swiftly made his way over to the table. He sat his chips down and put his book away. He then called over a waitress, and said,

"Excuse me, but could you get me 10 lollipops, and 4 licorice sticks, and some rock candy?"

Koti's eyes darting all over the waitress' body as he was making his order. Most people would feel uncomfortable, but she has had many encounters with Koti, and was familiar with all of his little quirks, including his "handsie" nature. So much so that as she was walking away she instinctively wiggle her butt out of the way, as Koti went to grab it. As if nothing had happened she walked away saying,

"Coming right up...Doctor."


The people at the table all stsred at this kid with a curious look on their faces. One of them finally asked who this kid was, and why the hell he was at his table. Koti's darting eyes focused in on this man, and then said with a smile on his face,

"I am Dr. Koti Wiess. And I'll be taking your money today...it's a pleasure."

Everyone at the table had shocked looks on their faces at this boys brashness. All but the dealer who simple smiled, and then began to deal the first hand. Koti smiled and took his hat off his head and placed it next to him, and then begin to scan the faces and bodies of everyone at the table, as he began to take notes of their body language, while his face remained the same with a constant toothy smile.

What surprised June more than Haviér firing a canon was the fact that Nate was surprised, as well. It just proved to her that getting used to Ko was close to impossible. She stared wide-eyed at the horse for a few moments before closing her eyes, running a hand through her hair and sighing loudly. Then Ko started to speak. As if that helped.

"I see. From now on, I'm just going to assume that you're slipping some sort of poison in my food--which was delicious--to make me hallucinate. I can't really explain what's going on in any other way."

She spoke bluntly as Ko walked past a constantly-changing scenery. She had seen giants. She had seen the strangest fishmen, and the strangest looking people. She had seen mighty men reduced to mere slaves by an exploding collar. While her life as a slave had been anything but pleasant, she had at least seen a variety of amazing things. Yet Ko had outdone everything she had seen within the first ten minutes of meeting her.

"Oh, Haviér also hit them... Haviér, you do know you've done badly, right?"

She spoke with that same blunt voice. The strangeness of it all had momentarily left her unable to be surprised. Her brain sometimes did that when she had a Ko overload, and it was something her brain started doing after her first meeting with Ko. It prevented her from breaking down mentally.

"Allright, I'll take them down then."

She spoke walking towards the railing of the ship in quite a carefree manner, and she waved at Ko and Nate with the back of her hand as she prepared to make the jump. She was still quite carefree due to her brain protecting her from Ko. She turned her head around meet Nate eye-to-eye when he asked her to bring one prisoner.

"Don't worry. The won't know what hit them."

And she was gone. Canons almost hit her as she dived towards the ocean, but none of them touched her. And she swam. She was near the surface of the water with her head sticking out of it. The idea of being stealthy did not come to her mind. It did not matter, however, as the men on board of the three ships were to busy trying to shoot down Nate and Ko to take notice of June speeding towards them.

The moment she neared one of the ships, she simply drew back one arm and then punched out against the ship, extending the blade concealed within her arm just before her first made contact with the ship. The result was a clean hole. She swam around doing this several places in the ship--it was the one that had already been hit by a cannonball--and it quickly started sinking.

One down, two to go. Have to make sure I catch a guy. It'll be from this ship. Most of the men will have abandoned it once I'm done with the other two ships.

The captain on one of the other ships caught sight of her after she took down the first ship, and he immediately alerted the rest. He was--sadly for them--too late, and she had already punched a lot of holes into his ship when he got ready to fight her.

The situation repeated itself with the next ship, but there was one difference. One of the men on the last ship panicked when he saw her punching holes in the ship he was on, and he started shooting at her. When that failed, he threw things at her. And when that failed, he started pushing whatever boxes were on the ship over the railing so they would land on her. And... It worked. While she was busy puncturing the ship, a tiny wooden box fell from the top of the ship and landed on her back, causing her to sink down in the water much like the ship was doing. And the blow apparently affected her mind because she momentarily forgot crucial part about herself.

"I'm drowning! Droowniiing...!! Ko, Nate! It can't end... like this!"

She spoke as she sunk deeper and deeper. She reached out grasp at something but there was nothing for her to grab onto. She was doomed. She was going to die. She was... still alive? When a minute or so had passed without her losing any air, she slowly began thinking again.

"I'm a fishwoman! And you're my prisoner, sorry."

She exclaimed as she rose up to the surface of the water, grabbing a random man from one of the ships before swimming back towards Nate and Ko.

"Hey! Nate! Ko! I got one! Throw down the rope!"

Nate stared at Ko and once again let him continue his rant, until Ko was done. Nate then shot in with his own corrections to Ko's and Haviérs words.

"Still not Bonoval. Haviér, still not Bonoval, still not Bonoval and last but not least, still not Bonoval."

The captain corrected all four miss-uses of his name, before Ko sprung into action. Violently altering the ship's course, while not even near the the rudder sent Nate off balance and let the man smack against the floor. Nate quickly scrambled up, back on his feet. Despite Ko's admirable and effective way of handling cannon-balls, there were just too much coming. Taking control of the ship, Nate started to make evasive actions as well, steering the ship out of harms way. He allowed June, Haviér and Ko to go their merry ways as it was actually, rather effective. Haviérs assault from the ship kept the ships distracted, while June's assault was exactly what they needed. And Ko's chiselled defence was the icing on the cake, catching any cannon-ball Nate couldn't avoid.

On the enemies ships, things weren't going so well. The first ship had some punctures in their haul. Panic broke out amongst the crew.

"WE'RE TAKING WATER!"

"CALM DOWN!"

The captain roared in frustration. How could one cannon do so much damage. The captain of the ship grabbed his binoculars. He observed and what he saw was beyond him.

"A horse... And a man pushing his chest.... Sending cannon-balls back....?"

He was simply stunned at this fact. How was he suppose to counter such a man. And well... A horse firing a cannon... That was just the most retarded thing he ever saw. Were these people from the Grand Line or something?

"AH! SHIT!"

And the ship slowly started to vanish under water. The barrage of cannons started to become less for Nate to avoid and this was a welcome development.

"Good."

The captain smirked as June brought down the first ship, before she moved on the second and third. The pirates on the ships screamed and threw everything they could get their hands on at June... But sadly...

"YOU DEVIL FROM THE SEA!"

"I'M TOO PRETTY TO DIE!"

"STOP CRYING AND STOP HER!"

What didn't help was that because of the panic, some of the crew-members started to fight amongst themselves. And not before long, the third ship vanished under water. Nate let go of the helm. He tossed out a rope at June's request, pulling her and her captive aboard the ship.

The man wheezed and coughed. He wasn't sure if he should count himself lucky as he wasn't doing his best not to drown. Or that his fate would be a lot worse. He stared at the captain who bend over the man. A grin spread across Nate's face.

"Good work, good work. I'm happy I have such a reliable and effective crew."

Nate looked at Ko, June and Haviér. Having such a team like this certainly gave the captain an advantage on sea-battles in the future. He wouldn't have to worry much about sea-assaults going wrong.

=========

The boy's appearance at the table wasn't an odd one. Koti was often found at the poker table. But these men weren't familiar with such a kid, nor his talents. A somewhat larger man looked at Koti, before he burst out in loud laughter.

"BRAHAHAHAHAHA! A puny kid... Joining our table? Hooooowwww rich... I will enjoy. Takinh. All. Of. Your. Chips."

The man continued to laugh. The other men at the table grunted slightly annoyed at the behaviour of this loud figure. They just wanted to play poker and make some money. Mcgiven walked around, checking out Koti. The head-bouncer was well aware of the skills of the young man.

"Back for more ye, Doc Weiss?"

The head-bouncer grinned at the boy. He too was aware of one of the clubs regulars. But mostly what Koti was good for, was well.... Ripping off others. His skills in poker were quite something.

"Can I offer you a drink?"

A girl also approached Hector. Her tray was full of all kinds of drinks, ale, wine, whiskey, sake. She had everything. Not only betting was a way of making money in a casino. Getting people intoxicated was actually a good weapon to get people more loose with their wallet.

Victory. It was a grand majestic team achievement brought forth by the combined of the Void Pirates. The Princes of Yonder had proven her value. It seemed the betrayer of darkness was a beacon of light. Of hope. For a woman to be this useful to the crew. It was unheard of, it was... Grand. Ko rubbed his recently grown beard of manliness as he wrapped an arm around June. His chiseled bared chest gleaming from the olive oil he had rubbed on it in between the barrage of cannonballs. She had entered the ranks of manliness. If she kept this up she would soon be considered a general in the army of Yonder. A truly noble achievement for one who had previously given in to the temptations of the dark side.

"The force is strong in this one, Havier. Let us prepare a celebratory feast!! Princes of Yonder!! Have you ever tasted the perfection of dame blanche? No you haven't. Shall I create a majestic feast in honor of your achievements? Yes I shall, Maaantastic. Swift!! Like the wind, Havier!!"

With a rip the shirt that appeared out of nowhere was shred to pieces before Havier and Ko disappeared into the kitchen. The door shut only to open instantly again. With a table on wheels Ko and Havier came out. A complete 5 course dinner prepared within less then a second. It was doable. It was Ko.

"Let us feast!! Young Nathaniel shall soon join us!! No wait!! I forgot the old spices!!"

There was a short silence before Ko and Havier burst out in uncontrollable super manly laughter. Even the birds that flew overhead dropped down and hit the deck and water as they screeched in laughter. Using his index finger Ko wiped a tear away. Oh god... He forgot... What a good joke.

"Man I'm funny. And manly. And handsome. Heck. I am Koumi Ko. Warrior of Yonder. Aviator goggles Backflip!!"

With a majestic leap backwards and aviator goggles on his face Ko jumped on the table and took out a banjo. The entire scene darkened while a beam of light shot down to light up his position as he sat down on a bar stool that had magically appeared. The birds that had previously dropped down all took a seat next to June or at the table when Ko strummed and started singing. Havier suddenly wearing a suit playing the harmonica on the background as they started on their tunes. Times were good.

"No problem Nate. It's the least I can do since you two give me shelter... I just wonder what those people wanted."

She spoke as she went to look over the railings. The man she had brought with her seemed scared, and he had good reason to be feeling like that. Nate, as June had seen back when she and him fought Izaku, could be quite the creative man. She just hoped, for the sake of the man, that he would talk before Nate had to do anything.

"Erhh, I've never tasted that, no. And sounds nice. Your food is always great."

She spoke turning around to look at Ko as he did what he always did. Strange things. Not only was the food done almost immediately, but after he mentioned that he had forgotten the old spices, he made the birds flying over them fall down to the deck in... laughter? June just sighed and made to the table that Ko had conjured.

"..."

She glanced over to her sides. Birds... sitting next to her. She tried to mask her confusion, but she failed. This was crossing the line. She could not possibly be expected to eat next to a couple of birds. She did the only thing she could. She punched out against the birds sitting next to her while making growling sounds. She would force them to flee.

Much thanks and appreciation to those who helped create and flourish the original One Piece Role Playing Game, located here: http://s1.zetaboards.com/One_Piece_RP/index/. It is a fantastic game which, obviously, we have based ours on in the most unobtrusive way possible, with any and all connections and correlations between our sites being nothing more than paid homage and the acceptance of excellent, well-considered ideas. While we here at NA have put a lot of effort into writing up the information for this game, a fair portion of it was borrowed and adapted from the aforementioned game, and so we here can't thank them enough for their hard work, and hope that anyone who ventures into this game checks their's out as well, assuming they have not already. They're a good bunch over there and deserve all the respect in the world for their ventures and creativity.
