Serious: Dark Isle Assasins, Searching for assasins. (CLOSED, except if anyone from the crew wants to post something final to the thread)

Caroline heard the man shouting towards her.
How foolish she thought to herself. she waited till all of the pople in the plaza didn't pay anymore attention to the man, before she wrote down her first name and proffesion on a piece of leather.

she stuck an arrow through the piece and then took out "Pace" and loaded it with the arrow. She pushed the button on the crossbow so the arrow could fly faster, which would result in greater distance and harder, hsharper, all around more lethal impact.

She aimed at the mans throat. She hesitated before firing, but then diced to fire the arrow since, if this man really was an assasin that might be her future crewmate, he should be able to handle one single arrow.


She whispered "lucem emissa" before she fired the arrow.

Karasus father placed his palm on his forehead, in a sudden shock peaces of information started to be copied into his brain, peaces of information on how to use certain styles of Rokushiki, at the moment Karasus father only gave him two but there was many other peaces of information he stored in his mind, how the leg must be kept to swing it and use Rankyaku, and even the Basis of Soru. Although his body was not strong enough to use it in its strongest form, he can at least make weak imitations of them. His Rankyaku would only be strong enough to push back certain people, since he can not cut through the wind itself yet. But the kicks power will be very much above average. His Soru would only increase his speed, but it was in no way perfected, sicne he could still very well be seen while running, its power was maybe 1/5th of Soru. once his body could train and get used to using these techniques he can use them to their full potential.

Karasus father took his palm away from his forehead, "You have chosen your path, you have 2 styles of Rokushiki, the rest I will teach you once you have matured your body into taking them. Welcome to the Dark isle Assassins" Karasus father took out his hand showing that he was now welcomed into the assassins.

Karasu walked back towards where Daiki was, about to watch what was going to happen, noticing the Girl on the Rooftop having Clay behind her, Daiki had already gotten her and she hadn't noticed, Karasu stood back and watched what was going to happen, he was intrigued to see if a sharp arrow could penetrate or hit Daiki. Karasu stood by, with his Pistols in his belt.

He was not hiding, but while he was watching he didn't make a sound.

Abbadon felt his eyes burning like when he was tired and blinked his brain now contained new information which he could use. Standing still for a bit felt like the right thing to do he understood how things worked and then turned to see Karasu who was gone. Abbadon needed to get back to the others. Abbadon decided to try and use soru as it would help him get back quicker. Abbadon focused and then attempted to use it and just found himself kicking the ground. Abbadon tried it again and managed to move forward a few inches and fall flat on his face. Abbadon then tried to use Rankyaku. Abbadon focused even harder and then threw his leg as hard and fast as he could to produce a projectile. Abbadon ended up spinning himself round and feeling dizzy. He tried once more and miscalculated the distance between him and the rock he was trying to break. Abbadon kicked the rock. Neither his foot or rock broke but he was in incredible pain. Abbadon walked following the footsteps of Karasu's that he could make out on the ground. Angry at his failures Abbadon attempted to improve his soru technique every now and then as he followed what seemed like Karasu's foot prints.

Daiki enveloped the girls leg with his clay, with the extension of theright hand. With his left hand, he produced a mass of clay in the air, that blocked the arrow. Daiki took the paper in the arrow and read it out loud.

"Caroline, The Assasin. Carolin, I invite you to join the Dark Isle Assasins."

Daiki said, Karasu and the other guy came back.

"Hello again Karasu, hello... what's your name again?"

Caroline noticed the clay on her leg and was surprised. She also saw that the man had stopped the arrow. She smiled.

Well done. fine I'll join yoi, since you seem capable of surviving.

She grabbed the top ofthe clay tha enveloped her right leg. She started to take it off. When she was done she jumped in the air and did a summersault before landing smoothly. She walked slowly toward hte group and nodded to the clay man. she said hello to the others with a uninterested and cold voice. She didn't feel a need to show respect toward them since they might aswell be clumsy clwons playing assasin.

Karasu had walked with the new guy behind him, his soru was 5 times slower then an average one, but it still increased his speed. His Rankyaku still needed work, but it was still a much stronger kick then before. Karasu had walked with his pistols on his belt, with steel the vulture still flying over head. Daiki had managed to trap her and stop the arrow heading towards him with ease, something he expected from his first mate. The lady was then trapped, but she soon took the clay off and jumped down to greet everyone.. in a cold harsh tone.

"Oh he is much more capable then surviving, especially since he hadn't even bothered to harden the clay he put around you, never the less you are very skilled and your voice tells me you have no problems with life or death.. which makes Daikis choice in accepting you an excellent one." Karasu was proud of his first mates decision, but felt like he forgot to tell the crew members something.. he kept thinking about his past. Back when he had joined the Yonku crew with Anubis as the first mate of the 8th Division, and had left to form his Dark Isle Assassins guild. The island with 1000 Assassins now.. but all of that information would stay with him only, the Anubis Pirates was one past nobody had to learn about, not even his First Mate.

A Black bird flew over head and dropped a note, lading on Karasus arms, "Another mission?! great.. I'll just open it within the hour.." Karasu had held the note on his arm, seeing the title of the scroll as 'He who is Nobody' made Karasu realize his Assassins had found the location Shusei was hidden, this was going to be a very interesting mission. One Karasu was too tired and busy to take a hold off the mission, and Two this was the perfect time to test his crews strength. He would wait until everyone had finished being tested before he announced the 3 people that would leave to do the mission.

Sakura would look around the area. Confusion would be clear across her face as she struggles to keep up with everything.

"Can someone explain to me what is going on? I still need to be tested don't I? And her," Sakura uses the bow of her violin to point at Caroline, "Will she be tested too?"

Sakura puts the bow of her violin back down to the same area as her violin. Her head flicks back and forth between Daiki and Karasu.

Daiki smiled at Caroline. So she said that Daiki "seem capable of surviving.", yeah right, she didn't even know how he battled, she didnt know how deadly he could be when he proposed it to himself. It was just as simple as making it his Number 1 aim in the moment, and he would do everything he has in hand to achieve it. Then Karasu made her realize of what she had said, saying exactly what he had thought. A bird came and left a paper for Karasu, he said he would open it in an hour. Sakura asked explanations as she pointed the bow of her violin two Caroline. Daiki sighed.

"Well, Sakura, we will procceed with your tests now. oh and Caroline... yes, she will be tested too. Now if, if you please follow me to the plaza in the middle of the town, sit there while I go do some stuff." -Daiki walked to the center, where there were some sits, hoping everyone was following him.

Karasu walked towards Castro, laying his hand on his shoulder to stop him from advancing further to follow Daiki. he seemed to have enough muscles for a decent technique of Rokushiki. "Castro, come with me." Karasu whispered to let him know to follow him. Daiki shoudl continue walking, Karasu signaled for Abaddon to follow Daiki, pointing him towards him as he was walking away. "Practice your Soru while walking with him, don't kill yourself trying."

Karasu signaled Castro to follow him, If he would not comply Karasu would undoubtedly shoot both his legs and drag him the rest of the way. But he would learn Rokushiki that day. Karasu let the Arrow wielder follow Daiki, since both of them would have to get along in the future. Karasu kept glancing back, making sure Castro was closely behind him.

Castro was about to follow Daiki and watch the ones who were being tested, but he felt a hand on his shoulder which immediately caused him to stop dead in his tracks. Karasu wanted Castro to follow him for some reason completely unknown to Castro. "Uh...Sure, I guess I'll follow you..." Castro said uneasily. During the walk, he noticed Karasu constantly glancing back at him which made Castro a bit unsettled, like he was about to enter the mouth of a lion. He took out a throwing knife and toyed with it. He tossed it up and down, to and fro, side to side, whatever else could describe what he's doing. "So...Captain...Where are we going?"

"We are heading towards my father, whom will teach you Tekkai... That is all I need to tell you... but as long as you follow me there is nothing to be uneasy about." Karasu continued walking with Castro, until he found the beach that his ship had landed on. Castro was playing with his knife, a very typical Assassin, karasu almost lost his serious demeanor and smiled, but didnt look back to let Castro notice it. After reaching the beach another man was waiting with a coat covering his face, his hand stretched to Castro.

"Another one Karasu?" "Yes father.. now give him Tekkai, his muscles can handle it.." The father put his hand over Castro, with karasu standing by to watch. "If you accept the technique, you can never turn back from the Dark Isle assassins.. your destiny will be intertwined with us till the day you die.." Karasus father had waited for Castros answer, while Karasu waited 6 feet away from him.

Caroline heard the captain talk about the first mate's capabillities. She wasn't surprised by the man was a lethal man, since he was the first mate. She looked av´bove the captain when she heard the sond of wings. It was a black bird that dropped a note. The note contained details of a mission, but the captain said he was going to open it within the hour, so she just ignored it.

When she turned her head back towards the other hse saw the point of a violin right infront of her face. She made no expression even though she was slightly annoyed by it. When she took it away, Caroline stared at the girl wiht both her eye and and her cyborg eye. The girl was still talking about the tests.

The first mate said that the test would still take place, and that Caroline too, would be tested. She saw the man walk into the plaza and followed him. While walking she was thinking of her decision to join, if it was a good decision or not. Only time will tell, was the only answer she could come up with.

She catched up with the first mate and said with most friendly tone hse could manage I do not believe i have heard you'r name yet, mr?

Abbadon met up with the others sweating a little as Karasu led the large muscular man with guns away. Abbadon saw Karasu signal to follow the others and did so. Abbadon tried using soru again but instead just left a small dent in the ground, seems his kicks were getting stronger. Abbadon smiled as he realised when Karasu's father had filled his head with knowledge he was becoming stronger. Abbadon then looked forward at the others and concentrated as hard as he could then felt like time slowed down as his foot pounded the ground below him so quickly the next thing he knew he was in front of the others he'd been told to follow, Abbadon looked behind him to see them parted and surprised. Abbadon couldn't believe he had managed to use soru and threw his arms in the air smiling with the biggest most ridiculous grin known to man. Abbadon then realised he was being looked at and felt self concious, he dropped his arms put his hands in his pockets and felt his confidence shrink away.

Another Bird was seen flying overhead, dropping a note on Karasus arm as he was watching Castro, it had 5 Star gold seal on the front.. it was a 5 Star mission, in other words it involved facing an enemy of unimaginable strength. opening it up Karasu realized whey they were going to pay him 700,000,000 belli for the mission, a Celestial Dragon had been tormenting a Family, holding their dear son as his slave. Karasus mission was simple, Make him swallow his pride by publicly embarrassing him and freeing their son.. it showed a picture of him, but for Karasu to make it he needed the help of an old friend.. not just any old one, but a Yonkou.. any Yonkou would do, but the only one he knew was gone somewhere, it would take all of his Scouts just to find out where he is... but he needed his help on this one.

Karasu gave the mission to Castro, the one that was 4 stars that involved killing Shusei. "Tell Daiki to bring everyone to the mission, I have a feeling he will have back-up.. knowing him he might be in an island, Daiki will be Sent the information on where he is in a few days, i will be heading off, I have an important mission i must attend too."

Karasu handed the old Note to Castro, and left to his ship that had now passed to the grand line twice in and into the blues as well. It was repaired in both occasions, Luckily his next target would most likely be in the Grand Line, he needed to find Anubis.

Karasu moved to his ship leaving his father behind to teach Castro his techniques, as well as the rest of the Assassins, Karasu was NOT getting a break, this being his third mission without break.. but it was part of his Job and he won't forget that part, he was the King of the Dark Isle Assassins, and he was not going to let the mission defeat him.. even if he will have to ask for help to defeat it.

Castro reached the ship and scratched his face. If he took the technique, there's no turning back. No one else was going to take him in so why not? "Alright, I accept full responsibility and stuff and I'll stay with the crew til I die." Said Castro boldly as he took a swig of whiskey from his liquids container. Then he was handed a mission and a note from Karasu and nodded his head when he was told what to do. Castro turned back to Karasu's father and said, "Alright, now teach me the technique."

Karasus father put his hand on Castros face, and started surging information into his brain, copying it from his own. The information was then transferred into his mind, the ability to tense up his muscles to a point where it becomes as hard as steel, Castro was able to use this technique only because of his current body, giving him an advantage in being able to use it. His Tekkai should be as strong as any others, however he will have to hold still when he uses it, meaning it is an all defense technique. Karasus father took his hand away from his face. "Welcome to the guild, you are now a Dark Isle Assassin" Karasus father took out his hand, hoping Castro would take it as a sign of congratulations.

Daiki was walking towards the center of the plaza, when he turned around, he saw Karasu taking Castro with him. He must be giving him something... or training him... I dont know...-Daiki thought. Then Caroline catched up with him and asked him for his name.

"My name is Daiki." - he said happily. When he got to the center of the town, he told the ones that were around him.-"Ok, ok, we will see how Sakura does her test. And this one will be an interesting one. -Daiki called Sakura with his finger- To test how sneaky you are, you will have to go around the plaza, and pickpocket 10 people that seem to have valuable stuff on their pockets without them noticing. If 1 of them notices, you fail the test. If you manage to bring me 10 valuable things from 10 persons of the plaza, we will go on with your second test."

Daiki looked at Sakura with satisfaction.

Abbadon walked over to Daiki recognising him from before when they came out of the bin and walked over to them feeling silly. Abbadon learnt that Sakura was going to be doing her test now, but he couldn't help but let Daiki know that he had learnt how to use soru, he was excited that he was stronger now.

Caroline heard the first mate say his name. Daiki, first mate of the dark isle assasins. I must say, i have never traveled with a devil fruit user before, so this will be somewhat interesting.

She saw the man who earlier seemed very weak and worthless approach Daiki. There was something different about him now though. He seemed to shine of self confidence and he had look on his face that that wanted approval. She smiled sice it reminded her of youth, when she wanted her father to accept her.

At the thought of him she was reminded of how all of her relatives hated her, and that everyone hse has ever seen a family has betrayed her. Her smile wen't away, instead she had a murderous look on her face.

Castro blinked a few times, and looked at Karasu's father strangely. He didn't feel any different and wondered why, but didn't bother asking. "Thanks for the power up, pops, I gotta run so I'll see you soon!" Castro dashed away holding the note and the mission in his hand. He can't forget to tell Daiki or he'll be swimming through razer blades mixed with broken glass. Castro looked around as he ran through town, searching for the first mate to tell him something very very important. He stopped running and took a break. He spotted Daiki at the plaza and felt a feeling of relief come over him. Castro started walking towards Daiki and shouted, "Heeeeyyyyy! Daikiiiiii! I have something important to tell youuuu! It's from Karasu!"

Sakura looked at Daiki with a tiny amount of surprise; "Seems easy enough, and if it's just that, it should be easy enough for now."

Sakura would stroll into the center of town and begin to glance at people's pockets, looking for anything valuable that the outlines on their pocket. Sakura would quickly find a target and walk close behind him. She would eventually nudge into the man and quickly grab something small from his pocket, "So sorry about that.", Sakura would quickly pick up the man's jacket and give it back to him. The man is seemingly walking with the female next to him.

Sakura walks back over to Daiki, handing him what seems to be an engagement ring, "I think he was about to propose to the woman. That counts as a valuable item, right?"

As Daiki waited for Sakura to pickpocket 10 people and bring their things back, Abbadon, the kid that Karasu had taken to, probably his ship, had come back. But he seemed different from before, this time, he was self-confident and itching to show everyone that he was worth a test to try him.

"Hello Abaddon! It's good that you're back, what were you doing with the captain? Was he training you?"-Daiki asked with smiled, he liked Abaddon, he reminded him about himself, when he was just starting to train with his clay powers. He checked to see how Sakura was doing, she occasionally bumped into someone and said sorry.

Then Castro came running, telling him that he had something important to tell him, it was a message from Karasu.

"What is it Castro?"- Daiki asked him. The Sakura came to him, handing him a ring and other stuff.

"No, no. It's good that you managed to get 10 valuable things by pickpocketing without getting noticed, but, the second part of the test is: go return them before they notice they have gone missing. And of course, without them noticing you put things in their pockets."

Daiki smiled, proud of his crewmates.

Abbadon was smiling at the other fellow crew mates to be as he couldn't wait to show the guys that he could now use soru. "Its good to be back and yeah he was training me." Abbadon realised a few of them looking at him, it seemed he reminded them all of their past, he was pretty young and inexperienced though. Abbadon walked away from the group, he stayed within sight but he wanted to try and use Rankyaku. Abbadon concentrated on the strength in his foot and thrust his foot as hard as he could to force a projectile out but all that happened was his shoe flew off. Abbadon laughed at little feeling slightly stupid then ran after it, as he got his shoe back he put it back on and tied it up tighter, he tried using Rankyaku again and ended up hitting his foot on another rock, it hurt soo much more than before but instead of showing the reaction on his face he held in the pain and simply stood still for abit. Abbadon used soru just to make use he could still use it, he felt a little faster than he'd been before maybe he was getting stronger. He stood still where he stopped still in sight of the group then called out "RANKYAKU!" He threw his foot as hard as he could in front of him and produced a projectile. Abbadon was knocked back as the projectile was launched from his foot it hit a large rock only 4 feet in front of him. Abbadon landed on his back then slowly got up as the dust cleared, he looked on to see he'd used the attack but it had taken allot out of him. Abbadon inspected the damage and the once again grinned with accomplishment, he used soru to return to the others as his foot and leg was hurting from using so much strength. When he saw the others he couldn't stop grinning and felt more confident but still felt very insecure and vulnerable around the women but since Sakura was busy he felt nervous as he was stood near Caroline.

Sakura looked at Daiki and sighed slightly, "Atleast the man and woman can happily get married...Perhaps. You never know, the woman can always say no."

Sakura went back into the crowd of people, seemingly in a hurry and looking for something of importance. She would slip in the items that she had stolen as she ran past the people. Once or twice, Sakura had to physically stop and make it seem as if she was looking around for her false missing item just to make sure that the person would not notice her putting the stolen item back into their pocket.

After this, Sakura would jog back out of the crowd and back towards Daiki. Her violin would always be in hand during the whole thing, tightly staying by her side.

Caroline noticed how Abbadon had left the group. She didn't really care so she quickly started to think about other things. She saw Agthala bump into a man. She sighed and rolled her eyes.

the classic pickpocket move she said to her self with a quiet voice.

She then heard a man shout "RANKYAKU". She turned her head and saw Abbadon. She sighed yet again. What was he thinking.
When he returned to the group, he had a huge grin on his face. He stationed himself close to her, something she didn't appreciate. She was about to take a step away from him, when she realized that this man was going to travel with her, so she decided to give him a tip. She leaned over towards his left ear and whispered with a cold and dissaproving voice Do not practice skills close to civilians, an assasin do not wan't attention unless it's required to complete a job

she backed a away two steps from the "rookie"

she now saw agthala return to the group after returng the stolen items. I guess im next, caroline thought to herself
