Serious: Crisis in the biggest crew! The Anubis Pirates split up?! (open to Anubis Pirates and Jaeger (NPC) )

At the same time , the traitorous commanders and the other two men make their move. They were planning to find other people to join them , however , they would kill everyone who declined the offer to keep the revolt in secret. A couple of the Anubis Pirates had already been killed in an extremely violent way , while there were a few ones who were willing to join and betray the old captain.

However , as they walk they happen to encounter somebody else , who was not a regular pirate. That man was a division commander , too. They all move towards him and they say "Well , well... Do you know what we want here?" and before they tell him he says "I was observing you the whole time... So tell me why are you killing the mere pirates?". Then , one of the four men says "It is because Anubis is so...soft and we are revolting against him. It is a matter of time until we take his head and his fame with us! Come on! Join us!".

The commander was thinking. He had the same opinion about Anubis deep inside him and he did not like him since the moment he turned into a Yonkou. He wanted to get rid of him at all costs and so he decided to help. He licks his lips and responds "Count me in... That shitty bas*ard is going to die and I will be the one to take his head!".

After that , they all continue their rampage , searching for people to join or killing them if they decline the offer...

Anubis could feel it, there was something that did not feel right. Somehow somway, something did not feel right at all. He was now in some serious wonder as to what was going on. Anubis still did not panic, he sat still, whatever happened , happened. That was the way of life.

As Ryan searched the island for the commanders he felt a cold chill going down his spine, a chill he hasn't felt since facing former Schibukai Viktor a few years back on the island of Boleria. Ryan stops in his tracks as he saw a few commanders walking towards him he yells across the field to get there attention " Oi!" and then ran up to them, he saw two guys he never seen before but didn't pay it any attention it seemed like someone knew joined the crew everyday " Anubis has requested that every Commander comes to the Central Courtyard for a meeting" Ryan then stands there looking at the men and waited for them to respond he knew they had no choice but to listen and go since they were Commanders...

The energy had been restored to his body due partialy to some self imposed treatment. Underneath his tatter clothing drapped amongst new found scars muscle, definition, had now covered his chest. He tore of what remained of his jacket and shirt as he walked in to the central courtyard awaiting what had to say.

"It looks like a fell back to sleep... you wanted somthing. Anubis-kun?"

Anubis then sighed with relief, it was Zalton. It seemed that he had been vigorously doing some training "Zalton, you here, good, did you hear something on the way? I have a really quaint feeling about tonight.... as if something has gone wrong somewhat...." Anubis was waiting for Ryans return, there was something foul in the air, his sword could sense it.

It was getting a bit later, and the currents were stirring in his favour. Periodic reports from his men told him that Anubis' full strength wasn't yet on the island, but that much of what was had already turned to their side. Things were going well; afterwards, he might even find a couple of traitors loyal and useful enough to leave alive when he killed the rest of the yonkou's mutinous crew. Allies now, sure...but he wasn't going to trust to men who'd turn on their captain. They'd outlive their use the moment they outlived Anubis.

Jaeger dropped to all fours, his clothes dissapearing as his skin grew a coat of ratty and unclean looking yellow-grey fur. Soon he was loping along, snout to the ground, tracking. Hunting. A mongrel in name and in shape.

Before long, he'd picked up the trail he wanted. Running like a wild animal at full tilt, he picked his way across the island until he at last found what he was looking for: the clearing where Anubis and Ryan had sparred. Stepping out, the one-eyed dingo sniffed the air again and spotted the yonkou himself, chatting with one of his men. The name escaped Jaeger at the moment; he couldn't be bothered remembering all of the lousy subordinates.

His mouth dropping open, panting, Jaeger began a casual trot towards the man. His tail began to wag, his tongue hanging out. If there was one thing that amazed the old pirate every time, it's how utterly willing people were to trust a dog, even an old grizzled looking one like him. The irony of this was not lost on the seasoned pirate.

"Arururur!" the dog yapped, making it's presence known with a cheerful, high-pitched bark. Wagging his tale and putting on a show of being generally cheerful, Jaeger sat down a short distance away from the yonkou.

Anubis looked to his right as soon as he heard the dog. There was a dog on this island? He had gone through level island a few times in training, he never saw a dog.. Still, this was a island of surprises, perhaps the creature was hiding in the darkness or something in fear?

At Anubis's feet, Gilgamesh, his pet Komodo Dragon hissed at the sight of the dog and Anubis's pet Hawk, King flew down and began squawking as if they had some problem with the dog. Anubis didnt say anything other than, "Look you two, if your going be noisy , go over there and play or do whatever it is you do with that dog...make it stop growling and yelping, i already have a head ache..." Anubis held his hand to his head.

Gilgamesh was encircling the dog, his intention was certainly to kill whatever the strange creature was. King watched from above , ready to assist Gilgamesh if need be.

The dog tilted it's head to the side, eyeing the komodo dragon with it's one good eye. It acted confused, tilting it's head to the side and barking again, before rising up to all four feet. Somehow, the animals seemed to be savy to the fact that something wasn't quite right. Still, the yonkou himself hadn't seemed to notice anything out of the ordinary, aside from that his pets had gotten riled up.

Jaeger trotted off casually, acting as if he'd simply lost interest in the strange man and his companion. He didn't care if the lizard or the bird came after him; neither posed a threat to a man of Jaeger's stature, and if either touched him, they'd carry his parasites back to their owner for him and save him the trouble. Looking back over his shoulder, tail still wagging, he found his way back into the trees and began picking his way around.

After some time, he found and chased down a small herd of elk, rushing around the forest and chasing down each and every one for the sport of it. When he'd had his fill of being a dog doing doglike things, he sniffed out a familiar tree, crawling into a burrow underneath the roots. A short while later he stepped out of a cave down by the shoreside, back in full-human form, a grin on his face.

"Evenin's almost here, boys," he said to the few men who were waiting around, keeping watch. "Any bets on how many a tha commanders be showin' up, mates?"

flinthow stopped prodding and stabbing his new toy then rubbed salt into the wounds trying to help them heal but in a painfull way then bandaged them then he ate food waiting for it to regain counciousness.

On a couple of ships , the corpses of many Anubis Pirates of lower divisions lie on the floor. The corpses , are all killed in an extremely violent way; some of them have their head cut , some others have holes through their bodies , some of them are completely burnt and some of them are chopped like they were meat.

And at the spot where Jaeger would meet with the people that would come to bow to him , the four men that began recruiting came along with other two people: A woman that agreed at the revolt of the commanders and another man who seemed to like killing , too. Also , some weak Anubis Pirates , probably from their divisions , are following them... They had all agreed to assist them. The crew of Jaeger was now formed.

"I had been sleeping for awhile but it seems a lot of people are missing... I was quite sure when I came back there were a lot crew members here seeing as no ships are left its puzzling. Not to mention the strange movents amongs the divisions. People arent really in keeping with there normal habits..."

Anubis then sighed, he could count on Ryan and Zalton, but what else was going on here? Why was this a sudden movement, they never move unless he told them so, so why start now? Anubis then swore"Where in blasted hell is Ryan?"

Meanwhile Tanith wakes up Lucas . Lucas yawns his teddy bear falling to his side "What is it?" Tanith then said "Something is wrong Lucas, we need to go and see Anubis sama... my division is on their way there..... also we need to find Manus sensei."

Max , who had left from the spot that Anubis was , heads back to his room. Everything looked quiet and that was something strange , because the Anubis Pirates used to make noise a lot. As a scientist , who was always working , he could notice that. However , that was the perfect chance for him to conduct some experiments. As he enters the room , though , he notices that Dino and Maximus are not there. Something weird was going on...He had a feeling that something bad had happened to his two creations that he treated like they were family. Then , he gets out of the room and quickly moves towards Anubis to inform him about that bad feeling he had...

"Six," Jaeger said, standing in the doorway where the commanders who had rallied to his call were. "I'da half suspected thar wouldn't be half y'many workin' under that sand fairy had th'balls ta follow a real leader."

Nodding, the usurper took stock of the men and women who'd hearkened to his call. It was actually a much smaller turn out than he'd have liked, but telling them it was better than he wanted would keep their moral up, give them a sense that they'd made the right decision. Jaeger nodded towards a stack of crates at the far end of the room.

"In yon crate y'll find lots an' lots o' tiny li'l bottles," said Jaeger. "Drink 'em. If y'haven't noticed, yet, me an' me men are crawlin' with these charmin' li'l fellas," he stated, snapping his arm through the air infront of himself and snatching a flea out in mid-hop, holding it up as though the others could see it. "An' they be fine friends, carry a fever'll scourge a man a his strength in a day. Drink up, me hearties; y'won't be feelin' up fer much fightin' if ya don't get a draught o' this in ya."

"Now, I've got me own men gettin' ready portside, arr. Git yer salty arses back t'Anubis, now. All this skulduggery's like as not t'get the boy knowin' somethin's wrong." Turning around, smiling his bloodred smile ear to ear, he pointed a finger sharply into the highest ranking Anubis commander who'd shown up.

"Yer in charge, matey. Get this lot back t'papa sandypants and tell 'm the island's under attack, arr. Can ya do that, lot a ya!? Act panicked, don't let 'em get the idea somethin' ain't right anymore'n he already has it." Jaeger began to stalk through the room as he spoke. As he walked amongst the men who'd rallied to his cause, he transformed slowly into a strange hybrid of a man and a dog, his nose replaced by a snout, yellow-gray fur covering his body.

Every now and there he'd stop, grab a man by the throat and yank his fist away, bloodied, leaving the pirate precious few seconds before their life spilled out all over the floor and the passed on to the next life.

"I can smell it," Jaeger informed them. "Fear. Any mongrel worth 'is salt can smell it a mile away..." He stood infront of another pirate, who squirmed and trembled in the man's presence. Leaning forward until his wet canine nose was pressed into the terrified recruit's, his smile slowly faded.

"Ya thought ya'd betray tha betrayers, that it lad?" Again his deadly clawed fingers rose to grab the man by the neck. He shook his head wildly.

"N-no, Captain Jaeger! I-I'm j-ju-"

The man never had a chance to explain himself. Soon he was on the floor letting out the same pathetic, breathless wheezing that the others had, the light rapidly leaving his eyes.

"Tha resta ya arrrr alright with me," Jaeger explained proudly. "Now get at it...let's put on a show the world will be talkin' about 'till the end o' time!"

The commanders nod. Four of these people who had come were commanders and two others were simply pirates , with great strength... However , one of them , the highest ranked commander , had a task to do. He had to tell Anubis that the island was being attacked. Jaeger was about to start his rampage and they had to trap every single one of the pirates and eliminate them one by one. Soon enough , he leaves from the place , heading for Anubis , while the rest split off , heading for their own divisions respectively , waiting for a signal to start the revolt...

Ryan was now walking back to Anubis thrown he was by himself the island was too quiet and this really made Ryan nervous "This smell in the air is something I've smelled dozens of times when I was young, Death!" Ryan was now at Anubis thrown he walked up and stood beside him and leaned in and whispered in his ear " Something is not right on the island Anubis, I have a feeling something bad is gonna happen" Ryan had a serious and nervous look on his face...

Just when Ryan informed Anubis about the bad feeling he had , Yusof appears out of nowhere and he speaks to his captain with a trembling voice "Anu-Anubis- Sama!!! A couple of our crewmates were-were being killed! Many of my subordinates a-are dead!!!". Then , right after the 4th division commander speaks his words , Calico Jack runs towards Anubis and bows to him. He says with a trembling voice , too "Si-Sir! We are being attacked! A couple of our crewmates were being killed!!!" The plan for the revolt had just began taking place...

Solar, for some reason, nearly fell asleep, and took a while to answer. "I have a good work ethic." He said plainly. Of course, maybe he also had skills. It really didn't matter to him. He started slowly rising up.

[damn , who is gonna RP?]

Anubis was shocked, well not really, he was more concerned than shocked "Assess the damage situation and look for the people respoinsible, it must be another crew again which thinks it can claim us..... im getting tired of this nonsense..... Ryan, Zalton go and find out who did this!!!"

((Max i left you in charge of this arc, but why is nothing happening?))

((Sorry, I'm not really sure how you want this to happen. I figured that the actual PCs here would group up and respond to the site of the attack, and then Jaeger and the NPCs Max controls would show up to ambush them.

Maybe it'll help if we work out a post order?))

((Forget it, im taking over the control of the npcs, Max you can control your characters, i dont like it when people get bored of my arcs, i will revive this arc completely. Speak, you post first and then the betrayal will occur))

((I didn't get bored of your arc at all man, I promise. I was just waiting to see what happened, I didn't want to rush anyone. I'm actually having a good bit of fun with this.))

The sun was slowly sinking further and further into the sparkling blue horizon. Everywhere Jaeger could smell fear, discontent, the smouldering fires of rebellion. A tiny black Den Den hidden behind his ear relayed the words spoken by the treacherous division commanders to him. Any moment, his prey would walk into the trap.

"Ready yerself, boys..." As if they could hear him from such a distance, the men in dirt-brown and black shirts scattered around the docks by the 'beseiged' ships, filled with the corpses of Anubis' loyal crew members waited. Any moment now the sand-king and his followers would come to investigate, to aid their wounded and avenge their fallen. They'd be too late, of course.

They'd be just in time for the trap, though. When they came, they'd find the ships deathly still, quiet, corpses draped over the sides. As soon as they stuck their necks in to find out what had happened or to search for survivors...

"The noose closes," Jaeger's first legion head stated.

"How does sandman taste, I wonder?" the second legion head pondered.

A mute, the third legion head said nothing, waiting in silence for his cue.

As Anubis sat there. Yusef suddenly turned around "Yes about that comrade......" There was slight noise.Anubis didnt realise it until it actually happened. His upper shoulder was bleeding. It was Yusof, he had used a cutlass to imaple Anubis's shoulder where he stood. Anubis coughed out blood as he remained in his seat "Yusof.... why?" Yusof then said "You have lost your way emperor.... you are not like you were when we first met..... but now you die at my hands......."

Sam was as usual was sleeping under a tree. He had tired himself a lot from training last day, and he ended up sleeping under a tree. It has been a couple of days since he had joined the Anubis pirates and he still did not interact with a lot of people around. However Sam suddenly woke up after all he felt that something was wrong around the island.

Quickly Sam got up and picked his weapons as he headed to were his captain was pretty fast. All that to his devil fruit power that gave him inhuman speed.

"hmmm...this looks back" Sam said in a cold voice as he saw Anubis getting stabbed by one of his crew mates.

Quickly Sam unsheathed his swords as he used bane bane fruits power to launch himself fast toward Yusof.
