Tsukai slowly rested his hand across the railing of his new ship, a slight smirk on his lips as the massive white and golden Ship with steam rolling off of it out of what seemed to be thin air. The people of Dawn Islands looked up as the absolutely massive ten story High White, X-Marine vessel pulled up, noone had heard of the name, nor a ship that gave off steam,, it confused all of them and Gold Seastone-Bottomed ship pulled into the Docks. Slowly a few of the warriors of the small village moved tword it, hands shaking as they were placed on their bronze swords, was it a Military Vessel ...? What was this? Noone on the Island had ever seen such a massive ship, let alone one that ad the name of 'Angels Wing' across it side in molded Gold Letters. Slowly a long rope ladder dropped over the edge clanking loudly until it dropped the ten stories and the end hovered about a foot from the sands of the beach.
At the same time the shadow of a young man appeared onto of the huge ship, and h jumped. Several people screamed in shock as the man shot downward, until he landed with a light thud on his feet and slowly straitened completely unharmed. The boy was maybe nineteen by looks, long black tribal dreadlocks falling down his back, his ebony skin obvious of exotic origin. He slowly adjusted the Captains Jacket over his shoulders that hung about his ankles, it was a bright white leather with golden lion fur lining tis edges. He walked forward slowly as several shirtless men just as dark as himself covered in slavery scars scaled down the ladder and he glanced back as the people stared in shock. "RAFIEL!!" He yelled upward, a huge mans head popped over the edge, "Aye Sir ...?!" He called down as the boy sighed. "I only need Five men, keep the rest and watch the ship." The man nodded and most of t he men climbed back up as the five at the bottom dropped down and came over.
Im comparison all of hi men seemed to be in their thirties to forties, they looked tired and wore iron or steel sabers at their sides, some wore bandanas others wore simple leathers. Slowly Tsukai walked forward and placed a hand on the nearby gaping boys mouth. "Neh neh, where can we get some supplies Kiddo ...?" He stared in shock and pointed tword Town, Tsukai nodded. "Thank Kid." he dropped him a small bag of Jewels and headed off. "Come On!" He said sternly and the men followed with a nod. "Aye sir!" As the six walked tword main town right past the ''warriors'' a woman looked up and her eyes widened, a black Jolly Roger Hung from the sails ... a Huge skull with glowing blue eyes. "P-PIRATES?!" They all stared in shock as their gaze went to the young man that headed tword town, noone intervened though, the place was used to the occasional pirate visit, if tey would buy and not steal, noone would complain ... but it made everyone uneasy, how in the hell did pirates get such an incredible ship? Who was their captain? Had it been the boy or was he maybe the first Mate? ... Noone knew, noone had even seen the Jolly Roger before or even heard of it.

Ira's eyes were very barely open as she made her way through the unfamiliar town, which, though she had resided fairly close to, had never really visited, aside when she needed to pick out special materials for armor and such - and even then she was escorted by several men, whom led her along like a stray puppy that might get lost if their eyes left her for too long.
Perhaps it was a reasonable fear, since she was lost as lost as she could possibly be as she weaved along the unfamiliar streets, earning glances that she paid no heed to. Her blue gaze had set themselves towards the ocean. She could see it, as well as ships, so there was certainly a dock nearby - which meant that she would be able to leave behind the island and everyone on it! All she had to do was keep walking, and eventually she would reach the waters, one way or another.
She walked with somewhat heavy footsteps. Across her shoulders rest her naginata, balanced nearly perfectly as her arms supported it, her hands seeming to merely rest simply over the long handle. From the blade end, an old backpack was hanging, clearly filled with a few things, but it was not overly heavy since it was bouncing about slightly, while on the blunt end a rather heavy and bulky looking toolbox was dangling. Tools could be heard noisily jingling and clanking around inside of it. This toolbox should have weighed her down much more than it actually was, but she walked with relative ease.
Nevertheless, the fact that she was carrying her naginata unsheathed in such a manner ensured that no one came near her, not even close. The naginata had a reach of perhaps six feet, but most people stood at least twenty feet away from her out of sheer fear of being hit with the toolbox or sliced with the blade. This was intentional on her part, of course, so she largely ignored everything around her - while at the sane time being careful not to let her naginata hit anything - heavens forbid she beat up her precious naginata (she didn't particularly care for everything else around her, really).
Her eyes rose a little as she noticed a commotion, and it didn't take long to figure out what it was. Even from the town she could see a massive ship rolling in with some sort of clouds rolling from it - unlike anything she had ever seen.
She paused where she stood, blue eyes opening slightly as her gaze watched with an intentness that had otherwise been missing during her little journey, is that... metal? Did someone... Craft a ship from metals? She wondered, slowly beginning to move forwards once more - her head hung somewhat low, but her narrowed eyes were set firmly on the strange ship.

Tsukai slowly walked along the grounds eyes rather bored as he moved forward. People stopped staring at the young man as he motioned too the five, "Go on into town ... I'm ganna look around." He said with a yawn, the men nodded heading off tword the market with a few bags of Beli. Tsukai's eyes however slid around the area, curiously he examined the beach he was walking on before he sighed and headed for the town center, for some reason he didn't want to just get food and leave, he hadn't ever seen the real world besides his slave pen that he could remember, so maybe this would jog his brain. Slowly he moved tword the town center, he passed by a young woman with a large bladed stick, he had no idea what that thing was, but as he walked by he calmly just ... ducked beneath the blade, wondering why everyone else was giving her a huge birth. "... Guess sticks on swords are scary here." He said with a blink, his Captains jacket flapping a bit behind him as he went past her.
Slowly he made his way forward, but before he did he heard something odd, a scream of pain that he was familiar with. Fear. He frowned and stopped as did many others and their gazes all went tword the forest that ti had come from, slowly there were dark chuckles as the locals Bandits came meandering in holding clubs, The young woman he had ducked past was still int eh area as well. He slowly lowered the black leather hat to cover his eyes with a soft sigh, his dreads waving a bit in the wind. I don't know if I should interfere or not ... He thought to himself as he watched them enter, then he stiffened as he say the largest of the punk practically dragging a young girl by her hair tword the town center. "Shut up B--ch!!" The man yelled in her weeping face as she was drug along and then thrown tot eh ground. However ... that had done it, he didn't care if he was a stranger and this was none of hi business, he walked forward slowly, ignoring the bandits utterly he knelt by the young girl, she couldn't have been over fifteen. He sighed and gently scooped her up to hr and the bandits dumbfound expressions.
Everyone stared in utter shock as Tsukai not only ignored the bandits picking her up, but then proceeded to imply walk off with her a they stared at him. Slowly the large man grew deep purple in the face with rage, "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING?!" The answer was calm and bored. "Shut up." Tsukai said as he headed tword the inn as everyone's jaw hit the ground in the classic anime jawdrop of holy shit what did he just do?! He handed the girl who stared at him like an angel form haven as she was handed to the barkeeper. "Take her to a doctor and feed her ... I'll pay in full." The Man stared at him and pointed behind him. "O-ok but what about them?! They'll wreck the town now because of that!" He blinked, "They will ...?" He glanced back at the bandits who stared at him with rage, before suddenly the largest one barked. "DO YOU KNOW WHO YOUR MESSING WITH?! IM DAISUKE OSHAMI! BOUNTY OF 10.000 BELI YOU TWERP!!!" (A E-Rank NPC) Tsuki blinked slowly and rubbed at an ear, "Stop Yelling. Im Tsukai ... nice to meet you." Again everyone stared in shock, and everyone just stopped, even the Bandits werent sure for a moment ow to react.

Ira's eyes lowered as she noticed that someone seemed to be heading towards her - unfortunately a little too late for her tastes, as she had been admiring the ship. He ducked around her, and she reflexively tensed at the sudden closeness. She swung her naginata about just slightly, as if to crack him in the head with the heavy tool box, but the man had already moved on.
She stopped in her tracks, eyes narrowed as she watched him walk and mumble something to himself. She might not have gotten out much, but it didn't take much for her to figure out that he wasn't from the area. He didn't look like any of the other townspeople, and her certainly didn't act it.
The blond gazed after him for a few long moments, before screaming eventually caught her attention. Her icy eyes, though alert, did not seem concerned or worried, nor afraid. They simply watched the scene with a sort of neutral disinterest.
Nevertheless, she turned about slightly to get a better look at what was going on. These people were noisy. She recognized them as bandits. She had rarely encountered them, but they were often talked about in the residence where she had been crafting armor for the lord and his men. She shifted the weight a little on her shoulders, seeming somewhat put off by all of the noise and commotion - not to mention the crowd.
She tensed a little when she realized that people seemed to be closing in around her, and promptly started forwards once more, a certain uneasiness about her as she stepped around people. Her eyes, though half closed, were dancing as her blond hair fell forwards, largely shielding her face. Her tool box began to rattle once more as she merely stalked forwards, unconcerned and more than a little cold.
Even over the rattling of her tool box, she could hear something. A very faint, albeit familiar sound that would have gone unnoticed to anyone else, but she, who had spent so much time crafting this particular piece of armor, could hear it's familiar creaking. The sound it made when it's piece ground together, like someone whom did not fit in the armor was for some reason wearing it.
She turned slowly, peering back at the bandits, scanning them suspiciously. She easily noticed a familiar piece of armor among them, on a somewhat scrawny bandit whom it did not fit properly - and there he was standing cockily in it, like it was his!
Calmly she set down her toolbox, letting down her backpack, her naginata remained resting on one shoulder as the hand opposite dug through the toolbox. She took out a particularly large, heavy tool, upright herself, and with a expression completely lacking of emotion hurtled it at the bandit that was wearing the armor she had crafted - catching him square in the chest. She had hurled it with such force that he fell flat on his ass, and the ringing sound had many of the bandits startled (not to mention the vicious dent in the armor).
"That armor," came the girl's voice, as she reached down, grabbed another heavy tool, which she began to toss up and down in one hand. "It wasn't made for you," she announced, and though her voice was somewhat void of emotion it was clear that she was irritated.

He blinked slowly simply watching what was going on around him as if somewhere between confused and bored. He tilted his head as they all stared at him, "What. He just introduced himself. I Hope anyway. If he wasn't, and he was threatening me then ... well." Tukai shrugged. "He aint worth my time." With that he turned, intending to just walk away with a awn after helping the girl as the huge one snarled yanking out an old pistol and aiming it, three shots rang out, and everyone screamed and ran for cover as slowly Tsukai moved his head an inch left and right in time for each bullet to zip past missing by a hair as he slowly glanced back. "... You shouldn't have done that." He murmured simply, his face was the same, light smile and calm ... but his eyes were cold, hard and easygoing. The look of someone who has killed, and doesn't care about doing it as long as its not out of cold blood, several men fell back in shock at the sudden change, the eyes after all, were a window into the soul, and this mans was terrifying, even without the use of Haki the men began sweating bullets, and moving back. This caused one mans armor to creak and groan in protest as it didn't fit him in the slightest, Tsukai slowly turned obviously about to do something, when suddenly out of nowhere a wrench the size of a warhammer flew through the air and rammed into the mans torso.
Tsukai stopped dead and his jaw dropped down as the man went sailing through the air and slammed into the dirt gasping and groaning as th loud bang sent the remaining people that had been watching scattering into their houses, leaving the terrified bandits, still clinging to their pride, Tsukai, and ... He stared, the girl he had ducked past! "Yooo Miss! Nice Arm." He grinned slowly, and his eyes glanced down. "Nice ass too." He grinned wider before his eyes slid over to the bandit holding the armor in shock and tilted his head at the words. "Oooh ... he stole an entire suit of Armor? ..." He blinked and gave a bark of a laugh. "Coward got balls ..." This was the last straw for their leader who snarled, "COWARD?! I'LL SHOW YOU COWARD!!!" He roared, charging Tsukai, who blinked and calmly sidestepped grabbing the door behind him, he smoothly opened it as the charged. There was a loud THUD as the charging huge mans face met the door, he crumpled down screaming n pail holding his broken face, nose and teeth as Tsukai blinked.
He frowned and looked at the blood on the door, "Oops ... I'll have to clean that ..." He slowly turned and looked tword the bandits who tared in shock, then lookd at the young woman who was strong enough to send a man flying by throwing a large metal object and that was it. They began to pale, "S-Since when did this town have such strong people in It?!" They yelled turned and trying to flee away, Tsukai blinked and reached down lifting the eight foot man he had crumpled with a single arm. "Yoooo ... you left something!!" He yelled his eyes cold as he threw the large man, sending him flying the the air screaming as he crashed first into the man wearing the stolen armor, and then bulldozed over the remaining ten bandit grunts as Tsukai motioned tword the young girl tword the Bandits. "Ladies first miss ...?" He arched a brow, assuming she'd want to take any other armors and weapons that they had stolen as well as the armor that they now knew the one man had, though Tsukai had no real opinion, he simply hated skum in general.

The large bandit had apparently pulled out a gun, not that she had been watching him, she merely heard the shot and cast a glance around to see the utter chaos that was quickly erupting around her. She had been too 'in the moment' to really take much note of it, but since the bandits seemed a little more dangerous than she had anticipated, she quickly put herself on high alert after having hurled the first tool. The man that had ducked around her and saved the girl seemed startled by her. She felt awkward at his first complement, and simply floored by the second.
She stared at him, like he had said something completely foreign to her, which he had. It frustrated her, making her head spin since she had no idea how to respond to such an off the wall comment. Instead, she merely tugged her scarf up to cover everything up to her nose, while pulling her arm back as though she were going to hurtle that second tool at Tsukai, but the second eruption of chaos made her pause and falter, at which point she merely dropped it into the toolbox once more.
Before long, the entirety of the little group of bandits had been defeated, and the man from before was offering her something. The armor, she assumed. She approached the bandit, and bent down long enough to pick up the tool that she had thrown, before rising to her full height once again, and just sort of gingerly brushed it off.
"I made it, but it's not mine," was all she said, as she made her way back to her toolkit, packed away the tool, clasped it shut and lifted it over her shoulder, about to hook it onto the back of her naginata when she once again heard her armor, lots of it, far off but running. Soon enough one of the men let out a long holler.
"IRAAAAAAAA. Where do you think you're going? Who gave you permission to leave?!"
I thought I lost you idiots hours ago...
The girl, with her naginata and toolbox, took off without a word, but skidded to a halt not long after, she glanced back at her backpack, which was too far out of her reach. Doubling back for it would mean getting caught, without a doubt.
She grit her teeth, not wanting to leave behind her precious journal, but not seeming to have a choice in the matter either.
With that she took off again, biting a little at her lower lip as she dashed noisily towards the beach, hopping fences and cutting people off in hopes of getting away from the men. Sure, she probably had the strength to do so, but she was hesitant to do it, for some reason.
Instead, she merely ran as fast as she could, quickly approaching the docked ships and the open beach.
Please... Please... I've had no luck so far in my life... Just give me one ship that I can stow away on... That's all I ask...

Tsukai blinked as she seemed incredibly confused at his actions, then to top i off everything suddenly went to hell. She didn't want the armor, men were coming after her, she was running, she had left a bag, and overall eh was left standing there without a clue what the hell he was doing. He looked at the bag. Blinked a few times ... he walked over to the Bandits, stomped their faces a few times into the mud and shrugged snatching up the bag. "Oi ..." he called tot eh Innkeeper who stared in shock. "You can have his bounty, go tie him up or somthin' and call in the Marines. But tell them that a Pirate named Tsukai Xoi, an Escapee of the World Nobles Island, who freed forty slaves and stole the Angel Wing right from under their grubby, fat, pumpuss noses, kicked is ass for you." He grinned wide, "And tell them the Heavens Eye Pirates, are ganna do whatever the hell they want!" With that eh turned as everyone stared in shock, he scooped up the young girls bag, meeting up with the other crew members he nodded as they carried huge sacks of provisions. "Take it to the ship, I'll be there soon." They nodded, "Aye Cap'n!" With that Tsukai turned and heading off tword his ship in a roundabout way.
As he headed tword the Boat he watched as the girl zoomed past, and then looked at the men following her. He was sure she could take them out if she wanted, but she obviously just wanted to get away, meaning obviously she didn't want them hurt. He sighed slowly before as the men charged his eyes focused a moment, suddenly a invisible force washed over the area, and the men stopped a moment staring blankly, before plopping down with a thud onto the earth. Tsukai nodded and calmly turned, dashing off he suddenly disappeared calmly ... dashing foward at his real speed he was standing on top of his ships railing in seconds. "Alright everyone ... supplies and everything ready ...?" He arched a brow and nodded as h plopped down as they all said, "Aye Cap'n!" He chuckled a bit before he stretched out and closed his eyes slowly, "That was an interesting first real world experience." he murmured, having no idea that they had left the rope ladder down, if a certain young girl came forward, seeing it was the only ship docked, she'd have easy access to sneak on board.
Her bag simply resting against the side of the boat, as Tsukai slowly stood out and began barking order in a calm collected voice. "Pour in the seawater for the engine, prep canons and flamers encase the damn Marines arrive early! Get everything ready for battle just encase! Raise to Full Mast on Center, and Half on Back and Forward! Turn Starbord Side and head tot eh West! I hear there's a big badass Pirate out there ... lets go kick his ass." He grinned wide as the whole crew cheered, "Our new lives start here lads! Today we'r free men ... today we have adventure!" They cheered again and he smiled softly looking over the ocean. "Today ... we live life, since for so many years we never got to int hose dark cells. Lets make the most of the time we got left!" They all nodded giving a final cheer, before the boat began to set sail ... maybe with the young girl now On it, as she had a perfect opportunity with them all distracted on their inspirational speech?

There was a great deal of noise behind her, and so Ira allowed herself a glance backwards - to see all of the men had collapsed onto the ground for no apparent reason? Her heart skipped a beat at her apparent stroke of luck, but did not stop running, merely continued on her way, just in case they decided to get back up or something. Who knows, maybe more of them were around?
Whatever. None of that mattered! She had reached the dock, but there was only one ship there. One ship with a rope ladder. That one ship she had been admiring. The one ship... With her bag resting against the side and the man from before standing on the railing, preaching?!
She didn't falter this time, though. Her adrenaline was pumping too ruggedly for this to happen. She steadied the hand holding her tool kit, secured her naginata to her back and crept along the sand while the men were busy.
She scooped up her bag, heaved it over her shoulder, took a quick glanced around to make sure no one was looking, and scurried up the ladder with sense of victory not unlike what she'd have felt if she had just scaled the worlds largest mountain. It was the same to her, really. It was a big step, and seemed like finally things were beginning to look up for her.
I shouldn't get my hopes up, she thought, as her feet hit the deck. She crept along, crouched low to the ground, and hastily dove into a crate, which no doubt held some sort of supplies. It didn't feel like food, thankfully as she tossed her things in, forced her naginata in by taking it apart in what seemed to be a split second, then crammed herself in as well. Her heart was beating a little harder than usual, as she secured the lid and exhaled deeply, as though a thousand burdens had been lifted from her shoulder.
Whomever opened this particular crate would get a fright, because surely when it was cracked open all of it's contents would come spilling out - including a girl.
I did it! She thought, leaning her head back on the wood and allowing for her eyes to close.

Tsukai smiled as he felt her climb up, he would let her have her happy mental dance. His Haki sensory was far more then enough to notice her, but he paid that no heed as he turned and headed tword the edge of the rail he picked the crate ups he was in. "Im going to use this one ... its just canonballs so we wont need it yet, I wanna sit down and read while I steer our new pride and joy." A couple men chuckled and nodded as he lifted the crate and aid just loud enough for her to hear inside. "You picked a bad one Missy. These canonballs would have just been dumped into our tanks .... you'd have been crushed." He climbed the stair holding her and the case of about five hundred canonballs on his shoulder before he set it down and sat down on top of it gently, she saw a hole open on the side to give her air from where he ... poked through the wood apparently. "Just stay there for now, the men have been in a slave cell all there lives and your a young attractive young lady who has a nice ass. Do the math yourself missy."
He chuckled and leaned back on the crate, steering the monster with his foot as he pulled out is slim journal, "I have your bag by the way. I haven't opened it though ... I'll keep it near me till we can get you out of there ... safely." He began writing bordly before glancing down at the crate. "Do you need anything while you wait ...? Water or food?" he murmured, the entire time no one had heard him he was speaking at just the right vocal tones. He likely had alot of experience talking behind guards backs as a slave at just the right tone is why. As he waited for her answers he began to write in the slim journal, he had an Incredible IQ and had constant ideas for inventions and ideas, but no idea how to make them work yet as he hadn't gotten to go read in a library yet. So he instead wrote down all his ideas whenever he got the chance, so eh was now, pen scratching along the paper as he wrote down measurements and details wit his limited knowledge.
Slowly he wrote it down glancing over he motioned to his right ahdn man. Murmuring softly, he tapped the crate, "We'll have a guest soon, a young lady. No spreading it around, just gt one of the extra rooms ready, one with a view and with a bath. Get some food and water sent down there too ... we'll let everyone calm down from the escape before we reveal we have a new guest aboard. The man blinked and nodded, slowly standing up and quietly began to jog down the many ... many ... many stairs down to the fifth floor, one with the perfect view and one of the larger rooms to prepare for her. He tapped the crate lightly afterward, "Whats yuor name missy ...? Im Tsukai." He murmured simply.

Ira's slightly bit of relaxation was short lived, as suddenly the large crate began to move about, making her sit upright so quickly and with such great speed that she cracked the top of her head on the top of the crate. Nevertheless she didn't make a sound (besides the dull thud), merely flailed a little in annoyance. She could hear the man from before talking. He was pretty close to the crate. Could he possibly have been... Carrying it? No. But it was moving!
She tensed as he then said something that was likely only for her ears (unless he had a habit of talking politely to cannonballs?), feeling a little downtrodden for having been discovered - and a little fearful that he might cast her out into the sea, but that did seem to be the case.
She could hear him moving about, and stilled as he set the case down and sat on top of it. A bit of light shone in through a hole that she had not noticed before, and she watched it carefully. He was speaking to her again, and she found herself glaring at the ceiling of the crate as she heard him talking about her ass again. What sort of barbaric world had she set herself lose in?!
She swallowed a hard lump in her throat, shifting a little on the cannonballs, which were not exactly comfortable to sit on. He told her that he had her bag, and she felt a little relieved at this, but she wasn't really certain why. He soon asked her if she needed anything, and she furrowed her brows a little. "No..." She responded, slowly, carefully, as she tried to figure out what sort of angle he was working, treating her with such apparent niceness.
She pondered this, and glanced at the toolbox in her dim light, ah, yeah, he probably wants a blacksmith like everyone else does... She rubbed her neck gently, listening at the man then spoke to someone else, before finally addressing her again.
"My name is Ira," she informed him, shifting about once again. Each passing moment was more uncomfortable, particularly on her poor backside, which might have been nice to look at, but sadly it could not cushion the hardness of 500 cannon balls.
She made a face in the darkness, trying to adjust herself, before finding herself wondering something that had been nagging her since she realized she had been discovered, "so... What are you going to do with me?" She asked, looking towards the hole in the crate as she did so.
