When Masa had returned from taking Teal to his room, he approached the bar, but before he sat down again, remembered that he needed a good long bath or shower. He asked Douglas the landlord,

" Do you have a bath or shower in the bathroom? It's just I really need a good wash."

"Yeah, we got a bath down there, feel free ta use it."

Douglas pointed back over to the stairs leading down, and then returned to wiping up the glasses Masa had drunk from.

The bath itself was a workers bath, and so was quite simple and grotesque. As Masa had hung his clothes up on the rail at the other end of the room, and he locked the door, he was left to himself with some resting and cleansing. As the hot steam filled the air, the pores of Masa were cleaned and oxygenated. Masa's hair had grown untidy and greasy from the weeks-worth of sweating and so cleaning his hair in the water was a dream to him. He noticed a bar of soap on the side of the bath, which was useful. It had an engraving of a marine on it though, and this annoyed him. So he spent some time rubbing the engraving down until it was not noticeable anymore. After a good fourty minutes, which seemed to float by, Masa was finished, and was now what he considered, "Brand Spanking New" again. After he put his clothes back on, he noticed that his fingers had deep wrinkles on them. As he rubbed his hands together, they felt strangely rubbery. It didn't really phase him, it just told him that he had been in the bath for longer than he should have. But it was worth it. Masa felt like a new man after the refreshing bath. He went back to the bar again, and asked Douglas,

"Could you put some more hot water in the bath down there, I've got another friend who is coming back soon, and I bet he'll want a bath too. Even if he isn't back, the kid that was with me will want one."

Douglas nodded, now cleaning the bar and pushing a broom round the rest of the room, getting ready to close down.

Masa bowed his head slightly out of thanks,

"I'll be in my room upstairs. Thanks."

Masa left the landlord and went back up the stairs. Knowing that Teal could well be a noisy kid, Masa passed his room, all the way to the last one on the right, and opened the door. Inside, the room was identical to what he had seen in Teal's room. It was just as he expected. It was best to make every room identical, so that everyone got a fair part.
He closed the door, laid on the bed, and began to close his mind to the world. Peace at last.

Something bright started to shine around Newl, as he pulled back, becoming very uncomfortable by its annoying and persistent shining. His eyes were closed, and his only motive was to turn it off somehow. He threw his hand outward trying to cover it or turn it off, but he felt nothing but the air around him. He leaned forward as his eyes wearily came open. Then to his surprise, he saw that he had fallen asleep on the window sill. He tried to pull back, to sit against the window sill, but it was far too late as he had lent too far to pull back now.

Newl gritted his teeth and desperately tried to grab onto something, but gravity had other plans for him. Nothing more then a scream left his lips as he had a pathetic fall from the second floor to the ground below. However there was a heap of hay below him. This was surely going to protect him as he fell.

...

Though the hay was there, Newl's prediction was much less then accurate. Instead of an itchy bedding that would surely protect him from any grievous injury, he would slam almost headfirst into the ground. The only on to see it was the barkeep, who's head perked up when he had landed, walking over to him, smoking one last cigarette. "Hey kid... you dead?"

Newl grumbled to stand up, as his bones popped. "Nah... too bad for you huh?" he asked with a sinister smirk.

The older man seemed thoroughly unamused as he popped his back. "Look.. I'm not confused or riddled down by fatigue... I know your real motives. I'm almost willing to help too." he said turning towards the red mansion. "Your target is there, and if you want to get things down, you need to get there before lunch time." The older man flicked his cigarette away, walking back to the bar. "I'll get yer comrades and explain everything ya need to do..." he explained.

Newl seemed a bit surprised by the mans words. However he did not speak, only remaining quiet. After the old guy stopped talking, he would follow him back into the bar, and help him wake up his colleagues, whom he would direct downstairs into the main bar.

It had seemed a quick nap for Masa, who yawned as Douglas told him to get downstairs. The rest had been very refreshing though, and Masa jumped out of bed to his feet. He noticed his clothes had been washed and dried while he had been asleep, and as he put them on, he snelt newly cut grass, which made him sink into his clothes.

"Ah, to be clean and fresh once again!"

"Yeah, well c'mon down, I need ta speak to ya downstairs" Replied the bartender.

Masa grabbed his sword, led against the end of the bed, still in it's hilt, and left the room. He saw Teal getting out of his room, looking in a better condition than last night. At least the beating hadn't proved too leathal, but then again, Masa thought, kids do recover quickly.

Newl seemed to be already sat at the bar, waiting for them both, smiling, but also with a hint of seriousness to his gaze, like normal. At the bar, Masa took a stool on the left side, closest to the stairs, sat teetering on the edge, and leaned his hands on his thighs, near his knees.

"So what are we gonna do, Newl?"

Newl was sitting at the bar, with Teal sleepily holding his head using the bar below him to support his face. Occasionally the kid would start to slope back down to the bar top, but every time he would catch himself. Newl looked to the staircase, seeing Masa come down. "C'mon guys!" he called out, yanking Teal's chair a little, causing his elbows to slip out from under the bar top, slamming his chin into the surface. "ACK!" he called out as he slid down to the ground. Teal looked around with a peeved expression on his face.

'Why has he been doing things like this to me recently!? He use to be so delicate and concerned about me before! Grr! That jerk!' Teal would jump back up and start to follow Newl out of the bar, looking to Masa with a sleepy expression on his face, then turning back forward with a yawn, following Newl without another word.

The bar tender frowned, and simply walked into their way. "Listen kid, you can't just go storming in that mansion raising all sorts of chaos. You need a plan of action alright! Take it from me and ya old geezer there. Action is best planned." he said, lightly referring to Masa.

Newl frowned a small bit. "Oh and you have something planned?" he asked.

The man nodded, and started to walk through the entrance of the bar. "Just follow me and try to keep yourselves contained." WIthout another word of encouragement to follow him, he would simply walk ahead and head out into the village. After a 20 minute walk through a forest, he would have lead them to the back of the mansion, where several pipes were sticking out of the ground. "You see the mansion is riddled with many traps to protect the people that live there. All of these pipes use water to activate various traps. If you see one of these kinds of red pipes in a room, chances are there is a trap of some sort is there." he continued to explain.

The man looked to Masa, then Teal. "I don't see what you are planning to do with a snot nosed kid, and a frail old man though! Even with a carefully devised plan, it will be difficult to take victory with such weak allies" he'd note.

Teal looked peeved, gritting his teeth. "HEY! WATCH YOUR MOUTH!!!"

Newl just grinned and started laughing.

"You can say what you want, but you'd be making a big mistake to say I'm frail."

Masa was annoyed that the old bartender had snubbed him with such little thought. But he was more concerned about the fact that there were going to be traps in the rooms. He had expected that there would be some defensive device, but still wasn't too happy to hear about it.
He sat down on the ground, with his legs crossed, and pondered, leaning his head on his hands.
As he did so, Teal burst out shouting at the man, and while the boy and the old bartender argued, Masa fell deeper into thought.

"If there are these traps in the rooms, we will have to be extra careful. Teal will be mentally unreliable from the experience I have had being around him, so that doesn't work well for us. I am a little rusty, but nothing that should deem me useless. I will probably be best for advising on what way we should deal with the situations. So Newl, the majority of the force will be coming from you. Still, we're not EXACTLY sure how many of them there are, but I am guessing between 30-40 max. Most of those will be out on patrols at night, which means the best time to attack the place is night. What do you guys think?"

The group fell silent for a moment,

"Well?"

Teal looked at Masa shocked, and gritted his teeth angrily. To be spoken of so lightly. "I-I'll have you guys know... I-I-I'm a strong fighter! I-I-I can even hold my own!" He said frowning with a sincere look of upset on his face, which he quickly turned away to hide. His cheeks became a bit rosey. "I was able to defeat Corin and keep all of the jungle kids alive as long as I did! You know I can hold my own Newl!" he verbally exclaimed looking to Newl with a pensive glare. The boy drew his blade and spun it around, pointing it at the older boy. "I'm also skilled enough with this blade to know how to use it! I may not be a professional with it, but I can seriously hurt someone!" he insisted.

Newl frowned a bit, sighing. "Calm down.... Calm down Teal... I know you're strong for your age! But you're still a kid. Even if you could beat the whole world, you're still a kid..." he said with a smile. "You shouldn't have to fight everyone by yourself, even if you are the strongest boy in the world! Now stop acting like some adult okay?" he said harshly patting Teal in the back of the head.

Teal looked shocked, gritting his teeth. "But!"

"Don't worry Teal! I'm still gonna let you help! But you don't need to do the majority of the fighting! Leave that to me and gramps! I know you can hold your own! That's why I didn't just leave you to that old man that we met. So... just let me do the hard work okay champ?" he said playfully punching Teal's arm.

Teal frowned significantly, rubbing his arm. "Fine... it really doesn't concern me anyways! You know what... I don't want to drag you down okay!?" he snapped, gritting his teeth, starting to stomp away.

"Where you going?"

"I'm going back to the Crackel! J-Just hurry up so I can get home!!!" he said in a somewhat emotionally angry manner.

Newl sighed. "I think I hurt his feelings..." Newl said this under his breath.

The bartender let out an annoyed hmph. "About time. I was wondering when you two would stop whining at each other..." the bartender averted his attention back to Masa, flicking his cigarette at the ground. "Actually, this man is not a very tactical person. The most he has ever had in his dwelling is 5, including himself. He always keeps guards circulating the villages and docks. Its very rare for them to come within a 15 foot radius of the mansion. He has too much of a reliance on the actual traps, so he doesn't consider the advantage of having men guarding the mansion. Right now... he probably has about 1 or 2 men inside. They are his absolutely strongest cronies. They are always by his side. One of them is a swordsman with no equal on the island, and the other one is a Zoan devil fruit eater. I don't really know what it is though..." he explained. The old bar tender popped his neck a few times, rubbing it slightly. "Alright... I'll see about shutting down some of the traps. You two should go ahead and break into the mansion alright? And... if you see an sickly old man... don't hurt him... He's completely innocent" he explained with a sigh. "Get going now..." he insisted, walking towards the back walls of the mansion.

Newl stretched out. "Easy... Lets get going Masa!" he said, running towards the entrance to the mansion. Newl stopped in front of the doors, seeing that it was locked shut. He stepped back, holding his right leg up. "Hiyaaah!" he yelled swinging his foot up, kicking the door into several shards of red stone. "Geez! I really have gotten strong! Can't wait to show it off to Tared." he said smirking. "Though this substance does seem kind of weak... still awesome I kicked down a door!" he said blushing with a big wide proud smile. Then as Newl was in the middle of his boasting, an arrow shot out from the falling smoke, landing straight into his side. "Agh!" He toppled down cringing.

If one were to look inside, they would see a young teenager standing at the top of the staircase, holding a bow and arrow. He was wearing a very majestic mask. "Leave!!!" he yelled, lighting a second arrow on fire.

Newl stood up cringing, yanking the arrow out, biting into his lip. "You little brat!" he yelled, running into the mansion. "What do you think you're doing huh!? Get down here!"

The kid took off the mask, revealing a soft freckled face. He also had very nicely combed orange hair. "My father is very sick! I won't accept anymore intruders!" he exclaimed.

"Intruders? Did that bartender mention this kid?" he asked Masa frowning.

Before the conversation could continue though, a ringing sound could be heard throughout the halls. The orange haired kid looked up, frowning. "Uh oh... I... I'll be back! You better leave while you still can!" he yelled pointing to them, running up the staircase he stood on, fleeing to the upper floors.

"What's his problem?" Newl looked to the sound of the fast paced ringing bell to see some sort of tiger running at him. "Agh!" Newl jumped over it, landing back on the ground, looking around at it. The tiger let out a roar. "Urgh... Masa! Take care of the beast! I'm gonna go after that kid!" he called out, running up the staircase. "And remember! There are traps every.... whaaaaaaaaaaaaaagggggh!" he yelled as a trap door opened up in the middle of the staircase, where he was standing.

The tiger seemed uninterested in Newl at this point and set his sights on Masa, licking its lips. It let out a sadistic purring sound, and started to circle his way to Masa.

(And with this post, I butchered the English language beyond use)

Masa noted the appearance of the new child, inside the first room in the mansion, but paid more attention to the room, trying to gauge what was to be expected later on.

"Hey Newl, he mentioned an old man, perhaps we should leave him alone for now. Newl?"

While Masa had been scouting the rest of the room, Newl had fallen down the trap door. Masa was still unaware that the tiger was in the room, but when he heard a louder growl from the stairs, he knew what it was. Carefully, and slowly, he grabbed the hilt of his sword,tied to the left side of his body, but did not unsheath it or turn round.
He stood still for a few seconds, listening to the tiger's movements.

"Just my luck to be left with the tiger!"

As he thought, his mind left focus for a second, and the tiger seemed to have noticed. The creature pounced towards Masa's position, it's front claws shining like gold in the light from the bulbs above.
Masa snapped back into action, and immediately rolled to his right and then leapt backwards, dodging the lunge and putting space of 10 metres. Due to the tiger's cat like reflexes, it landed on it's feet and turned to face Masa again.

"hmmm,fitting I suppose." Groaned Masa.

"I've already been beaten up by a giant, so I'm not in the mood to lose. Come and get it you ball of fluff! ENGETSU!!"

Masa ran straight towards the tiger, calling out his signature move. All the while he had still not unsheathed his sword. The tiger bounced back into action, raising its left paw to swipe at Masa, dashing inbound from 10 metres. Just as Masa was about to run into the paw the tiger had prepared, Masa unsheathed the sword, with a quickflash draw that rose diagonally to the right from the sheath, creating sparks where it was drawn fast, and cut the claws off the tiger's left paw.
The tiger roared, as it's arm was pushed back, and the creature left itself open to another attack from Masa, who swiped diagonally down to the left, at the tiger's throat, barely missing by a hairs width.
The overswing forced Masa to follow the blade, and from the direction he fell, he shoulder barged the tiger instead, with his right shoulder toppling the great beast.
In the confusion Masa had caused, he fell to the floor, but managed to keep the energy that put him on the floor to bounce back up onto his feet.
He paused a moment to catch his breath and his stance, and the Tiger rolled over, before pounching back to it's feet and straight back after Masa.

Masa then turned ran towards the stairs, noticing the hole in it.

"So that's where Newl must have gone. Hope it's not a long drop."

The tiger followed, tearing the red carpet that was on the stairs with it's cut jagged claws, causing it to roll up in the material and fall back down the stairs. Meanwhile, Masa managed to jump the hole that had appeared in the stairs, and reached the top, turning to fall into a practised defence stance, where he held his sword above his head.

"This is good, now I have the high ground. I sure hope Newl's okay. I won't be able to do this without him."

"Waaaaaaagh!!!" ... "Oof!" Newl had fallen into a cage! "Huh!? Crap! Hey! Let me out!" he yelled, grasping the bars, trying to desperately pull them away. "Gah! They're too sturdy!" he exclaimed. Then suddenly, the bars became hot, causing Newl to jump back. "Yow!!!"

A man with slick and finely combed black hair and very classy clothes revealed himself with a hmph. "Ah... so someone has finally come to save the people of Valor eh?" the man asked with a hint of sarcastic annoyance in his voice.

Newl gritted his teeth a little. "So, you must be the man behind all of this!" Newl exclaimed, gritting his teeth. "Well... me and my crew have come to kick your teeth in!" he yelled at the man.

The man frowned with a crooked look on his face. "SHut your mouth. Your words are painful to my ears." he said, rubbing his forehead. "Your little crewmates will die at the hand of my men. In the mean time... just sit there and wait until I think of a proper way to dispose of you..." he grumbled out.

Newl frowned, and sat down with a sigh. "Great..."

----

The tiger jumped back away from Masa, snarling his teeth. Then suddenly, he would transform, into a human. This man was dressed like a high ranking guard, with a large jawline. "Hah... So you're a swords man eh? Perhaps I should play around with you...." he said, pulling out a blade from its sheath. "Watch out!" he called out, transforming into his demi form. His blade would suddenly extend and wrap around Masa's body. "Now I'll crush you!" he said, starting to tighten the blade's grip around his body, very harshly.

But before he could finish, he let go of it, collasping to the ground gasping. "What... who did that!?" he exclaimed, looking over his shoulder from the ground. Teal, the 12 year old stoic, was coldly glaring at the man, with blood on the fencing sword's blade. "...I'm sorry... I was trying to defeat you, not hamper you." he explained very harshly and without remorse.

The man grumbled angrily, turning around to suddenly pick Teal up. He started sinking his claws into the boy's neck. "Agh! H-He was... too fast!" Teal had dropped his blade and held his hand up to his wrist, desperately trying to get free.

"Damn you shapeshifting cheating bastard!"

Masa was infuriated by the fact that this tiger could turn into a man, and that he could alter his weapon and wrap him up in it.
The surprise arrival of Teal on the scene complicated things for Masa. He was greatful for Teal helping him, but the fact the man was now targeting Teal made Masa's belly feel funny. It seemed to sink.
But inside, Masa was boiling over, getting more angry by the second.

After Teal had been struggling for a few moments, Masa heard things quiet down, at which point he felt power come to his arms and the strength of the sword holding him slightly wane, giving just enough of a gap to move his arms. Immediately, he brought his arms as close to his body as he could, and then rebounded them back at the blades, bending it back until the links between the blades snapped. The metal gave a weird creaking sound as it bent back outwards, when it snapped, the blades flew all around the room. Masa stood up, forgetting about his sword which he had dropped when he was wrapped up. He ran back down the stairs, leapt over the trap door, and using his gained momentum, lunged at the man, in similar fashion to the way the man had done to Masa as a tiger. The two collided, and the tigerman's paw was dragged away from the young boy's throat while Masa and the tigerman flew back towards the entrance to the mansion.
In the madness, Masa called out to the boy,

"Teal! Shout down the hole on the stairs! Newl's down there, and we need to make contact with him! Don't worry, I've got this guy sorted!"

The two fell apart just in front of the entrance, the tigerman with blood on his lip where Masa managed to drag his head along the stone floor underneath them. Sakon had ruffled his clothes, and had a few scratches on his forehead and his cheeks.
The tigerman laughed, and swung his left paw, with claws at the ready, straight at Masa's face. Masa didn't even try to block the blow, and recieved a deep cut to his left cheek reaching down from his cheekbone to his jawbone.

"You can hit me all you want, but you won't win" The tiger man taunted.

Masa looked back at the tigerman, with eyes that had seen death,

"Really? Well I'm sorry for this..."

The old man grabbed his sheath, removed it from his waist, ran towards the tiger man, and yelled Jibara! once more. The tigerman sighed and jumped to his left to dodge the blow, but Masa had expected this, managed to turn on the spot, and used a slingshot motion to give him enough speed to keep up with the tigerman. Finally, Masa's sheath rose, above his head, and came back down with breathtaking speed, landing on the tigerman's forehead, KO'ing him instantly.
As the tigerman stood for a moment, a drop of blood fell down his forehead, down his nose, and dripped to the floor. He was still smirking.

"heheh, y-y-yy-you got me"

His concentration on the sheath created the illusion he was cross-eyed, and then he slumped to the floor.

"About time...."

Teal grimaced a bit, as he ran to the edge of the trap hole. "Masa! This is a pretty long drop... I... I don't think he could have survived this..." the boy noted. Then something caught his attention, he leaned over the hole, listening intently to the faint echoes. "...I... think I can hear some voices... Wait... he's... he's alive! I hear his voice! The echoes are faint though. That must mean that the drop is really long or that the room he fell into is well padded." The young man looked around towards Masa and the defeated tiger man. "It's definitely safe though! We can reach Newl if we go through this hole, and we can reach him if we try going through the basement." he explained. "Chances are though, that if Newl survived the fall, that he's likely trapped in a cage or something like that. They wouldn't go through the trouble of dropping him in a trap door for it to not kill him or not capture him." Teal pondered on these things for a moment. "The main foe that lies ahead of us is likely upstairs. You're a much better fighter then I am. So you should handle that okay!" The 12 year concluded. "I'll go rescue Newl!"

Teal started running down the staircase, and as he did so he heard some blowing sound. "Huh?" he asked. "Oh crap!" he exclaimed as a trap door opened in his path. The kid jumped over it, landing on the other side of it, just to cause him to tumble the rest of the way down the staircase, causing one trap hole after another to open, which he luckily didn't fall into. Due to this though, the staircase became impassable. "Whoops..." Teal mumbled rubbing his head as he sat up. "I guess our only path to take is down now. How about we head on down then?" he asked.

Masa looked at how Teal had luckily missed all the trap doors. He burst out laughing,

"wow, I have to admit, that was lucky. Okay, lets go down, and try to find a way to get to Newl."

The old man walked down the staircase, hopping over the trap doors, and looked around the room. He noticed a sign with an arrow pointing to the floor that read "don't look here."
Naturally, Masa's response was to look where the arrow was pointing. The floor revealed nothing. This confused Masa, why would someone write a sign like that and then have nothing come of it? It didn't even seem to set off a trap. Then, Masa thought it might be pointing to the wall behind him, so he turned, and looked at the opposite wall. There was another sign there, this time reading "Don't kick me".
Again, Masa did what any curious person would do. As he kicked the wall, one of the stones fell out the other side.

"Hmmmmm, Hey Teal, come look at this."

Masa continued to kick the wall, until multiple bricks had fallen. The hole in the wall revealed another staircase, leading downwards.
Perhaps this could lead to where Newl was. At least, that was what Masa was thinking.

"Come on Teal, lets check out where this leads, it's better than hanging around here."

As the old man and child reached the bottom, they could hear someone talking. Masa could distinguish it was not Newl, and so decided to act carefully. Masa turned left, following the sound, and entered the room which Newl and the other man who was talking were in.
He turned round to Teal,

"Teal, I'll let you save Newl if you let me take down this guy."

Then, Masa carried on around the cage, keeping out of sight of the man. He finally rounded the last corner of the cage, with just open space between him and the guy talking to Newl.

"Well, here goes nothing.........Who the hell are you?!!!?!?!?!?"

Newl seemed surprised to see Masa, blinking several times. "Wow! That was actually kind of quick for an old man! Y-You didn't sprang something, or throw out your hip did you? Well anyways, look! Just cut that man down and we're out of here!" Newl exclaimed.

Teal frowned, but his mood seemed to lighten when he realized they were about to leave. "Hurry Masa! Just cut that guy down as he said!" he exclaimed, running over to the lock on the cage. '... Is this it? Wow it's a pretty simplistic lock..." The kid would dully note.

The man looked shocked, running over to a large bell located discreetly in the back of the room. He swung it down, letting it ring loudly throughout the building. The main looked to them. "I spent far too long making the mayor sick ruining his health in order to usurp his position from under him!" the man proclaimed.

Newl gritted his teeth. "So the things the civilians went through wasn't the mayor's fault! I get it! You must be some jealous and ungrateful servent!" he proclaimed. "Gah this is so typical! The Butler always does it! Why couldn't you at least be a relative? At least that way you'd have more interesting character development and perhaps have a little depth! Geez...."

The man looked shocked. "Wh-what are you talking about!? This isn't some book or work of fiction! I'm as real and believable as can be!"

Newl grumbled as Teal finished picking the lock. "Step back Teal..." he insisted. When Teal did as he was called to, Newl kicked down the cage door, popping his neck. "Now lets get this over real quick..." he insisted. Though before he could do anything, a man came running down the stairs, with steel gauntlets on his hands. He swung back in order to hit Masa, but Newl ran over to them, swinging his arm back. "Potent Force!" One clean hit later the man was knocked out on the ground bleeding unconscious. "..Urgh..."

The apparent servent was in shock! His most powerful man unconscious in a second. But how!? "N-N-Nooooo!"

"Masa take care of him.... tie up all of these criminals, and lets go. This'll just take a moment's time. Since we took out their leaders, the weaker marines will feel more comfortable routing the rest of the guys."

Teal frowned a small bit with crossed arms. "I'll go check on them mayor himself!" Teal left them, and ran to search throughout the building in order tof ind the alleged mayor.

Newl left to go and prepare the ship for departure.

Masa felt the adrenaline pump through him. The situation had radically improved. Newl was safe, Teal was fine, and he was able to finish the job alone.

"Sorry, but I think you've lost this. I am sorry, but what you did to the people of the town is unforgiveable. I'll make this quick."

Masa put his hand to his sheath, ready to strike the final blow. The man seemed overcome with desperation.

"Please, please don't kill me!......HAHAHAHAHAHA! You fool! your not the only one with a sword!!"

Masa's opponent pulled out a sword which was attached to the wall he was standing in front of. He did not pull the scabbard off with it, he simply unsheathed it from the wall.
He pointed the sword towards Masa's throat. Laughing as he did so.

"Looks like your in over your head, old man!"

Masa's opponent swung the blade in his direction. Masa reacted by ducking. With his hands still holding his scabbard, he yelled engetsu!, began to stand back up, unsheathing his blade in a diagonal slice rising to the right. His opponent had left his entire waist and chest vulnerable, and as Masa's move contnued, it sliced through the mans clothing, deeply cutting into him.
Masa's body followed the overshot of the blade, and rolled right, as the man began to fall to the ground, with short bursting spurt of blood from the wound. He had slashed from the waist to the man's left ear.

"Looks like the old man beat ya. You made a mistake you can't learn from."

"Damn........haha.....ha.....hhh....h.h.....uh......."

The man was dead before he hit the floor.

"Young people 0. Old man Masa 2. That should end this mess. Now to get back to the pub, I need a drink..."

A few hours passed, and Newl had went around the small island, assuring it's residence of their victory. Any guard that stood to Newl was quickly annihilated, others gave in fearfully. They understood they had no chance.

Most of them actually turned a new leaf, surrendering and lending their cause to the restoration of the island and a better life. Even the lowly giant who had caused Masa such problem before!

----

Newl returned to his ship, arms crossed with a smile. They had done a good thing this day.

Teal had a small frown on his lips, as he looked towards the shining red mansion they had left. It seemed like something was troubling him.

"Teal?"

Teal shook his head blinking several times. "Wh-What? I'm fine! Let's just get out of here." But in reality, some actual off screen dilemma of interesting and deep quality had developed. Too bad for the current reader, it might have been just enough to ensure the reader had at least some fulfillment in their reading of this awfully quality diluted topic. But this topic wouldn't allow it.

For now, The Crackel would sail outward to their next destination, and out of this desperately bad topic. Perhaps into something more interesting of greater quality. Only time will tell.

With Masa as their guide, they would find out soon.

You have to be a horrible person to subject others to a three page buddy quest.

Newb fights like a douche and those speeches were so... lame. I guess the people were so subdued by the guards that simply raising one's voice would rally them. Newb having to threaten them afterwards showed that.

My disdain for the bar scene created inflation on the island, raising the price of your drinks by 175%. Newb also had to pay lame tax after post 28. Gross tax was then introduced after post 30.

Newl Ashton - 23 SD, ::beli:: 5,350,000

Masa Ito - 22 SD, ::beli:: 5,100,000

Though this adventure was rather light on criminal deeds, Newl's exploits have finally caught up with him, the World Government increasing his bounty. However, his exploits are rather lame, meaning he only receives a bounty increase to ::beli:: 3,300,000.
