Serious: Mrs. Bass what are you doing down there? The Steel Village Meets the Bass Family; Meeting of Friends

Iken's eyes narrowed as Karasu suddenly shown interest in the strangers in well-being. Iken, nor his crew had a reputation for being overly bloody or violent. Well with the exception of Myra. Even then Luke tended to keep her under wraps most of the time. Iken crossed his arms and gave Karasu somewhat of annoyed stare down. "Why, would you care about some random spy? My division can interrogate him just as well if not better than you. Sigh, actually do as you with, but that'll make the score two to zero. You owe me two now." Iken said waving his hand at Karasu. Looking over to the side of the ship, Iken yelled down. "Hey let the person go, Karasu will take care of him."

[Luke]

As Iken's words rang, Luke stepped back. Using the shadow of the ship, Luke was gone in an instant. Only a sensory type would be able to tell if he was hiding or had actually teleported to somewhere else. In side the 0 divisions submarine, Luke appeared out of a shadow. Picking up a den den mushi, he listened to the person on the other end. All the time the man's calm expression stayed on his face like it was chiseled on. "A Namikaze appeared on the marine's roster?" asked Luke the person on the other end. "I see, what crew?......Hooded Knights? Okay, what's their current location?......Why are they in Alabasta?....." Luke asked all the time keeping his cool. All of the sudden, Luke dropped the den den mushi smashing it on the floor of the submarine. "Son of a bitch, they're attacking Anubis! Those goddamn fools don't even realize who they have on their crew. DAhahahaha!" Luke exclaimed grabbing his face out of aggravation.

Hehe Iken, you are always full of jokes(thoughts), to Karasu Iken was only kidding about the last favor, since it was his responsibility in the first place to take care of people in his ship.. however if the kid wasn't the same one that came from his ship odds are Karasu would leave him with Iken. Standing up from his seat Karasu quietly walked towards the direction of the Adolescent with a smirk across his face, opening the door leading to outside and looking down at the body laying on the ground, it was almost aggravating for Karasu to see him like that.

"Are you the same person that came form my ship? If you are then we have some talking to do." Karasu was looking directly at his eyes while talking to him, his face only a few inches away to take a good glare at his eyes.

Myra sighed in disapointment at Iken's order, and then sighed again when Luke vanished, hoping to ask the divison leader if there would be any 'targets' in the near future. She still kept watching casually though as Karasu started talking to the young captive. It was worring these days, they were much to quite for Myra's sake, though the prisoner slaughter wo keep her satified for a while, she really did hope some would pick a stupid fight with them. She yawned saddly and then asked Iken casually; "Is there anyone else to kill today? I saw that broker dude escaping earlier when I had to slaughter some escaping prisoners, more fun with a chase you see. Anyways that guys long gone. Any fresh meat then Iken, or maybe some sparring, don't believe I had the pleasure of digging into your flesh.", licking some of the blood of her face as she finished her faintly threating words, hough with Myra could as well just be idle chatter.

Flute gave a small laugh as she walked by "Well aren't you sweet? I try my best after all the Bass clan is anything but ordinary." She continued to push Axel toward his room. Sangjo turned toward Ami whispering "Okay love, I know if anybody can get to Axel its you. Your voice is of voice of angels that soothe the even the most coldest of hearts" He gave a small kiss on Ami's cheek."

Big Daddy smiled "No it is Sangjo who is lucky for to have chose you. I don't care if you are mermaid you bring my son happiness and thats all I care about. Now about the log pose." Sangjo took the log pose in his hand looking at its strange feature of three needles instead of one "This is strange dad. Why does it have three needles instead of one?" Big Daddy grunted "I was about to explain until you interrupted me. The standard Log Pose is not good enough for the New World, due to the fact that some islands change, or completely hide their magnetic fields, which may leave a crew stranded. To navigate safely through the New World, crews need to have a Log Pose with three needles. Each needle represents a different island, and the stability of the needle reflects the stability of the island." Sangjo nodded as his father told him how the log pose worked. Sangjo then turned interested that Ami had a song to sing to him "What is it love?" "Yes please I always heard mermaids had such wonderful voices. Do me the honor of singing." Big daddy added.

Ami smiled widely, her cheeks turning a deeper pink at Big Daddy’s words and encouraged by the presence of her ever-charming fiancée, she took a deep breath.
“I hope you enjoy the song…”
The young mermaid took her harp from her satchel and gently strummed her fingers across the delicate strings, playing a light and mellifluous tune.
She inhaled deeply, letting her chest rise with the new air before opening her mouth and beginning to sing.

“The morning: cold and raining,
Dark before the dawn could come.
How long in twilight, waiting,
longing for the rising sun?
Ohhh…Ohhh…Ohh…Ohh…

She looked up at Sangjo as she sang, her violet eyes earnest and shining with love for him.

“You came like crashing thunder,
Breaking through these walls of stone.
I came with wide-eyed wonder,
into all this great unknown.
Ohh…Ohh…Ohh…Ohh…
Hush now, don’t you be afraid.
I promise you I’ll always stay,
I’ll never be that far away,
I’m right here with you.
You’re so amazing,
You shine like the stars,
You’re so amazing,
The beauty you are,
You came blazing right into my heart,
You’re so amazing…
…you are.”

Her voice trailed off as she finished the song and her fingers played the final coda, dancing along the strings before slowly coming back into her lap.

Karasu saw a nod coming from the Adolescent in the ground, he seemed to have come from Karasus ship then, he would have to interrogate him later.. since Karasu probably didn't have much time on the island. He quickly picked up the young adult and carried him to the ship a few hundred feet away, it turned out Karasus perception in hearing was great, but to have missed something so obvious.. it must've been his personalities fault, letting himself be lose must've gotten his attention elsewhere.

Karasu walked towards the deck and left Main Arcadia inside the ship, where he put many tightly sealed ropes around him and was then left on a bed. He would spend the rest of the day inside the room until Karasu finished his business. He then went to the next room where he took out a den den mushi from a counter.

"Message to all Dark isle Assassins, I have found a lead to finding a possible shichibukai..his name is Chusie, If anything is found at all let me know. This man might be impossible to find, but that doesn't mean others can't help." What that last sentence meant only he knew, the Dark Isle Assassins can't find people that aren't known well.. but that doesn't mean people from the streets wouldn't have seen someone with his profile. Karasu would take charge of trying to find him, all the others can do to help him is find out if he has a bounty.. the rest Karasu would have to do on his own.

Karasu put the den den mushi down and went towards the sails, he would probably have to find out what he would have to do next. For now he had to kill time till his Spies found out what he needed to know and contact him, Karasu took the den den mushi from his room and left, having Steel the vulture stay behind to protect the kid if anything were to happen. Karasu left the room and walked outside the ship, sitting on a chair as he looked out into the town... he managed to close his eyes and concentrate with total silence, eventually reading everything happening within a 50m radius.

He was now invading innocent peoples private lives by listening into what they were saying, to him this was his television.

"Hehe, some things never change.."

All of the sudden the sky became dark; a chill was summoned by the wind which had also just began to blow. A moister could be felt in the air, it only served to amplify the chill created by the wind. It almost became hard to breath as more moister filled the air. A humid, sticky, nasty, feeling could be felt by everyone on the island. Something was coming, something big was coming; and it was coming unnaturally fast.

The wind picked up increase in a 60 mile an hour gust, that could blow away a small child. All of the moister in the air turned into a light drizzle, then a downpour. Lighting shot across the sky; it lit up the entire area. Massive blasts of sound and shockwaves erupted from each lightning bolt only a mere second after it flashed through the sky. Waves began crashing against the shore. With each wave that hit, the waves grew exponentially in size. Soon entire chunks of land fell into the ocean. The soil was dragged into the ocean as the waves receded from whence they came. 100 plus mile an hour wind blew down trees and shook buildings as the winds grew.

Hurricane scale winds made the rain seem like it was coming in from the side. Each drop of rain that hit, felt like someone had jut slapped you where it had hit. Tornadoes began to touch down as the dark clouds came closer; luckily the wind funnels were still out in the ocean. Unfortunately, the lighting was a bit close. Buildings shook as lightning struck nearby; a few of the buildings and tree erupted into flames after being struck by the abnormally powerful lightning. What could be the cause of the sudden disaster, was this natural?

In the distance, a massive figured hurtled towards the island at incredible speeds. The massive blue beast looked like it was trying to hug the island, however it was something much more sinister. Even the tornadoes and lightning that had seemed so terribly powerful before, was trumped by the new threat. It was a giant tidal wave, one so immense that it threatened the entire island. In 10 minuets, the island would be completely wiped out unless a miracle saved them. With a wave of such a magnitude only the strongest ships with the best navigators would even have a small chance of surviving. It was truly a harbinger of armageddon, if there ever was one.

Iken stood upon the edge of his ship staring out to the violent sea ahead. Large waves crashed against the mighty ship causing the wooden haul to creek from the strain. Iken's eyes narrowed as the storm worsened. Even for the New World, Iken knew this was something unnatural. Iken pulled out three of his blades. He drew a large amount of the lightning into his lightning blade to lessen the damage to the island, while also increasing the energy in the sword. Clutching his swords tightly, even Iken paused for a moment at the site of the incoming island destroying tsunami. "Oh my god." where the only words the man could manage to utter.

Sangjo was taken back from her beautiful song. He even recorded it in his voice box due to the nature of his devil fruit powers. Sangjo wanted to always remember this moment even if Ami and himself was separated. Even Big Daddy shed a tear for the young's mermaid voice. "What I tell you pops? She is my little ocean goddes. Ami I want us married in two months(two threads) from now. I have enough money but need time in order to prepare a grand wedding for a woman of your stature. We can invite all our friends and family. I can't bear just to be engaged with you any longer. I want you as my wife."

Big Daddy then recieved a call from trumpet on his den den mushi "Father!!! A group of pirates are attacking the island. The steel pirates are in trouble." It looked liked the family reunion would be cut short.

Kiba watched as the spy got dragged away by Karasu, too bad, interrogating the little fellow would have been fun. But, a division commander, he had other worries. Kiba was originally a navigator back before he joined the Steel Village pirates, and as a navigator he knew how to read the skies like the back of his hand. Even though his last crew was erased because of his mistake, he got much better at weather forecasting since then.

Unfortunately, the weather of the New World was different form that of the Grand Line, and way harder to predict, Kiba literally had seconds to notice the disaster before it became too late to do anything about it. He felt it, just like his old teacher taught him, the sudden change of atmosphere, the drop in pressure and the gathering of clouds. Then, the rise in humidity that made way for the rain to follow. But unlike normal storms, that took hours to build from this state, this one took mere seconds. Kiba couldn't even warn Iken before the first drops fell.

And then, an explosion, so fast and precise that only mother nature could produce, followed by a booming roar that shook the docks. He looked up, and noticed the signs of lightning and thunder. For a skilled navigator as Kiba, it wasn't too hard to predict where the lightning would hit, but it took him a few seconds to realize that he was staring at the fastest storm in the world. "Look out!" He shouted, and pulled a random by passer away from a nearby tree a second before it burst into flames. He heard the waves growing, but couldn't do anything about it.

"This must be the most bizarre storm I've ever seen!" Kiba shouted over the wind, but as he turned around to see if Iken was well, he noticed the monstrous wave the raced towards the island. As the color left his skin, he could only muster two words: "Holy shit".

- Karasu -
At first Karasu did not feel the atmosphere the Wave was creating, it wasn't till it started raining and the winds picked up that Karasu knew something horrible was coming their way. Karasu looked around him, Steel came out of the ship barely managing to hang on to the ships deck. Karasu took steel into his hands as the winds continued to increase till the 100 miles per hour mark, and farther ahead was an even greater risk.. a tsunami capable of Killing off the entire island. Karasu had no choice, he needed to either escape leaving the child behind he had in his ship, or save the adolescent in his ship while Karasu found his own way out.. of course he would go with plan C, which was to try and beat the wave with an all or nothing gamble, if the wave was not destroyed or a way was not made for them.. both the child and Karasu will die.

Having Steel in his arms meant Steel could not fly at the current moment, the winds would knock him off his ass and fly away in some far direction.. but at least it would be away from an island that is destined for destruction. He ran downstairs and left Steel on the ship.

"Steel take care of this guy got it? he still ha a possibility of being innocent, therefore I can't let a youth die on me.. remember, if i don't come back and the wave is close, Fly away with the kid.. I'll be back." Karasu walked out of the ship and went towards the direction of Ikens ship, the winds were killer, and he didn't have his vulture to protect him but he knew he had to ask to help Iken on this one, Karasu was not planning on dying in the New World.

- Alphonse -
Rolling out of the bed Alphonse could feel the intense winds beating against the ship.. this was bad, really bad. Ignoring his pain Alphonse moved towards the ships deck, stumbling but at least walking towards the general direction of the outside. Once he managed to take a step outside he could feel the full weight of the wind beating against him, however since Alphonse was already heavy it didn't effect him much. Walking towards Iken Alphonse managed to mumble a few words while his stomach started to growl and make disturbing noises.

"S-S-Sir, I'm here to help... with the situation." Alphonse saluted Iken, trying to stand as still as possible to show respect towards his captain. His face was greenish pale, something that a tan person should not be.

Alphonse took a brief look around and noticed the tsunami coming their way."Captain Iken, I hope you have some sort of plan for this.."

After having come to his senses thanks to Jack. Holy looked at the woman and yelled in surpize "Holy shit let's get out of her Jack! AHHHHHHH!"
Grabing Jack Holy Made a run for it. One getting a good distance away from the ugly blow fishwoman. Holy felt omthing strange happening.

"What the hell Is going on? I need to see Iken now! Ill be back Jack!"
"Sdadow Soru!" As His shadow blurred across the land Holy sped towards Iken. Of Course it took him awhile. Crashing into a trash can her and a building there. Holy Eventually made it to Iken all bruised up. (Well hes still kinda loopy from being drunk.)

Appearing nex to Iken many moments later Holy Felt dizzy and tripped onhimself falling infront of Iken's Feet. "Whoa.... Iken is everything ok? I havent seen you in a awhile hikcup!"

Iken stood on the deck of his ship; it rocked violently as the powerful waves crashed against it. He looked at Kiba over his shoulder and then to Alphonse next to him. Holy soon came to his side as well. Iken could feel Karasu coming as well. Turning around, Iken looked to the tower in the distance. Sangjo and Ami were most likely still in there. Iken's best friend and the love of Sangjo's life. Both of their lives were threatened, all of Sangjo's loved ones were threatened.

It was because of Iken that they were in danger. The entire island and it's population was in danger just because Iken was there. He was more than confident that it was him that they were targeting. Iken always made selfish decision that put everyone in danger. Kenjiro, his firstmate was captured by marines, and not just once. Then Iken drug the crew into a war, heh who are we kidding. He drug them into war after war, expecting them to fight for him and by his side without question. Iken truly thought of himself as a terrible captain.

It was time Iken fought for his crew, instead of the other way around. He knew only one way to stop the tidal wave with his own power. The Yonkou would have to release all of the pent up energy in his sword, to blast away the wave along with himself. He would have sacrificed himself in an instant. To bad that wasn't even an option anymore. His trusty blade had been destroyed by unknown causes. Maybe it was all the energy, or overuse, or even the fact that it was over 800 years old. Despite this, Iken knew he had to do something. Even if it was just to slow it down, Iken had to do something to save his nakama.

Iken could feel that Luke had appeared, the assassin tried to grab Iken's spear. However Iken stopped the man's hand before he could get a grip. Looking Luke in the eyes, Iken just shook his head no. The assassin pulled back, he was hesitant to allow Iken to stay in such a place. Well it was Iken's decision after all, he was the captain; Luke took a step back conceding. "Everyone, get as many people on the ship as possible. I'm going to try and slow it down. I wont be able to stop it by myself, so please hurry." Iken said before leaping off the ship. Iken ran down the shore quickly; he was attempting to intercept the tidal wave before it hit land. If he could do this, his most powerful attack would be able to hold back the wave for a while.

[Behind Iken]

Following behind Iken, Luke and Benjamin wanted to be with their captain. The giant and the assassin knew that their powers alone wouldn't do much. Compared to Iken, they wouldn't even be able to slow it down anymore to the point of it being useful. Luke knew that if he could only get his hand on the spear he could save the captain at the last minute. Benjamin followed his instincts, the loyal dog like companion to the end. Was this really it for Iken, or would more of his crew follow their captain to what seemed to be a dismal end?

A rare thing happened when the colossal tidal wave, the immense blue wall of near ceratin demise that would easily crush those that were foolish enough to be anywhere near it appeared. It made made Myra scared. Scared was an understatement, she was terrified out of her mind. "No! No! Not the sea, the sea can't kill me! It's not really a killer! The sea dosen't even like killing! Or even kill thourgh an action of it's own! It's just water! Myra can't die from water! Then she's not dieing at the hands of a better killer! Death water is bad! Not want death water! Make it go away! Make it go away! Go away, go away go away go away go away............", the psychopath babbled with baddly maddened fear, her eyes wide with terror and tears plentifully rolling down her cheeks. She continued to chant 'go away' before crawling behind Iken, clutchinng her legs closer to herself and rocked backwards and forwards.

Slowly pulling himself together Holy stood up. Looking at the Tidal wave and then back at Iken's Face he could Tell His Steel Brother Was about to do something Drastic. This Sobered Holy Right Up.

Useing Shadow Soru Holy sped after Iken. What ever his Nakama Captain was about to Do. Holy was Ready to aid him. Iken is the leader of the steel village and is the Most Important Person to Holy.

"Iken Whats happening? What do you need me to do?"

Sangjo grabbed Ami and placed her in his arms. He began to run out the studio. I can't let them down. I won't lose anymore nakama....not like before. I have gotten stronger than before I will not lose my family. Sangjo ran so fast he was leaving a dust trail in his wake. His speed is almost as fast as soru. "Move out the way. Excuse me. Can you walk any slower?" Sangjo yelled as ran down the studio. He made it into the city where he ran to the docks....

"Water is not frightening an ol' fishman like me." a man said with a voice that could be barely heard, behind Iken. The man was looking just like a fishman and looked a lot like the Fishman Division Commander of the crew, Maletrix Steller. However, there was something different with him. He was looking very old. Apparently, he was walking on a cane and he seemed to be having problems with his back. He had a long beard that reached his feet and his once powerful wings below his arms were now looking extremely weak and frail. Same for his arms.

"Damned steroids..." Maletrix said with an angry look on his face. "If it weren't for them, I wouldn' be afraid of this wave... Damn... We're going to die... Doesn't matter to me, though... I am ol' anyway..." Maletrix said with a quite worried look on his face, not for himself but for his own comrades. They were not young to die, unlike himself...

Jack was dragged as Holy came to his senses, who suddenly stopped and told him he'd be back and ran away somewhere at super fast speeds. Extremely confused, Jack sighed and began to walk in his general direction. This guy seems a bit unpredictable he thought. I wonder what he was running off to.... Jack then casually looked up and saw a giant tidal wave on the horizon. His eyes went wide and his jaw dropped.

"WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK?!" he yelled and began running towards the Steels ship, suddenly a bit glad that he was apart of their crew.

Jack ran as fast as he could and stopped at the ship. He could see Holy's body towering over the rest of the ship.

"Hey, Holy? Do you know why the heck a giant wave is about to crash into this island?..." asked Jack nervously

Looking back at Jack Holy Frowned. "I dunno whats going on but if we dont act soon. This entire island will be under water! were not gonna let that happen!"

Molten Tungsten started to ooze off Holy's Body. Producing An Orb Shape of Tungsten in the palm of his right Hand Holy started to accumulate it. Ass the Tungsten oozing off his body moved towards the orb it became bigger and bigger. Looking as Iken for the go Ahead Holy was Ready to unleash his attack with the others to stop this powerful force.

"Iken! Let us know when to Unleash Hell!"

- Alphonse -

Alphonse straightened out for a second, taking out both his arms and concentrating incredibly thick and strong peaces of metal in the air into one Huge orb. The thickness and hardness of the orb increased from 5 feet, and morphed on to 10 feet, more metal was put into it as it increased to 15 feet and moved on to 20. By this point Alphonse had his stomach aching again, and the pressure of the technique was getting to him.. he was sick, and yet he was using Metal King. For some reason, it was in his conscious that the attack would be needed against the giant tsunami coming their way, he would wait for Iken's signal to throw the giant orb levitating over his hands. The Orb was now 30 feet long, and its weight was 50 tons.. Alphonse would do everything he could to hold the technique until Iken gave the order.

"Don't.. you dare.. hurt my.. nakama.." Alphonse was looking directly at the tsunami as it came his way, he was almost blaming the tsunami.. and characterized it as his enemy.

- Karasu -

Karasu moved towards Ikens general direction, eventually he used Soru to save some time and appear next to the tanned brute whose face was almost green.. was that his natural skin color? Looking up Karasu could see something he doesn't actually see every day.. a Giant Metallic orb at around 30 feet hovering above him, it was surprisingly Karasus first time seeing something like this.

Looking around Karasu could see the situation would grow worse if he kept relying in his sight rather then his hearing. Karasu closed his eyes and focused on the area around him, he was now hearing 50 meters around the area to try and predict what was happening.. but nothing came up, it seemed like nobody was talking about what could have possibly been happening.. which meant it was new to them, they were all only shocked, while Karasu heard others praying for their safety. This was all too unfamiliar to Karasu, this weather was extreme... even for the New World.

Iken pulled out his lightning blade. Summoning the power of the storm above, Iken charged Holy's and Alphonse's attacks with electrical energy. The energy pulled the two orbs of metal together. This created one massive orb charged with millions of volts. A super heated liquid metal outside, with a super dense hard metal inside, all flowing with electricity.

Iken looked into the ocean, it power was coming at him with full force. Well rather the power of someone that manipulated the ocean and weather. Whosoever power it was, it would not match that of the entirety of the Steel Village. Iken twisted his torso to the side gaining potential energy. Sweeping his sword to the side, releasing the energy, Iken released a powerful attack.

"Wind Demon's Curse"

A massive tornado made up from sharp blades of air shot forward. It swept up everything in it's path. The water from the sea below and the dark clouds from above. A path of peacefulness was left as the destructive force parted the storm clouds leaving only blue sky behind. The massive tornado smacked into the tsunami, it's blades cut deep into the mass of water slowing it to a stand still; neither attack gave an inch, they were dead even. Anything that would result from this situation, would be up to those standing with Iken.

- Karasu -

"Hehehe.. I see all of you are stronger then I thought you would be, I'll be seeing all of you another day..God luck Iken, we'll be seeing each other again." Karasu jumped off the ship and landed on the ground, eventually he started running towards his ship taking advantage of the calm winds and the environment surrounding them. Karasu used Soru mid running to quickly end up on the deck of his ship, once behind the wheel he untied the rope and started moving through the water, its speed seemed to flawlessly break through the waves as if nothing was there in the first place. Once the ship was in the horizon Karasu knew he was out of the way the tsunami would have headed, but something still bothered Karasu deep down inside his mind.. what was it that caused the giant wave in the first place?

It was probably none of his problem, Iken could easily take care of the people or person responsible with all of the members he had in his crew.. but he was now in the middle of the ocean, and the enemy probably had the power to control the weather, so just as a precaution Karasu closed his eyes to scan the area.. for a set amount of miles in the ocean Karasu would move through with his eyes closed, and his ears open for 50m around him. If he wasn't confronted Karasu would leave the island peacefully, and head towards his next island.. he had to talk to the marines, but it should be possible.

Wiping the sweat from his brow Holy sighed in relief. As He glanced over to Alphonse and Iken. "Whew that was close... Damn that was sop sudden I wonder what caused it?"

As Holy then returned his gaze to the distant see where the attack materialized. Mystery filled his eyes in thew awe that seemed to be nature.
Scratching his head he suddenly looked confused. Feeling Dizzy Holy fell to his hands and knees and puked out the content of alcohol he had consumed earlier on.

Myra's paniced meltdown almost admedietly dissapeared as soon as the huge tsunami did, to which she leapt up on her feet and jumped at Iken. But she didn't attack him, tackle him, or tried anything aggresive. She actually hugged Iken. "Thank you, captain! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I wasn't killed by the sea! I wasn't killed by something that wasn't a fellow killer!", she cheerfully babbled before letting Iken go and began jumping around the ship happily, humming a rather merry tune. It seems Myra for once, didn't want to kill anything for a change. Though that didn't last long, as she chopped a passing seabird in half straight through the middle before carrying on skipping merrily.

Jack thought to himself for a minute. Wow, my luck is just fantastic...I finally join a crew and I die a second later he thought, closing his eyes I really hope this is quick and...
WHOOSH! was the sound of something shooting the wave back to whence it came. When Jack saw it was his new captain who had caused it, he fully understood what being a youko meant...it meant you were a bad ass. Jack was also given a feeling of how weak he was. After seeing what a single man could do, he knew an extreme amount of training would be in order. Then, as soon as this happened, Holy puked up his few beers onto the deck. Jack laughed a little and then walked up to his captain, who had just been hugged by a girl. He saluted to him.

"Hello sir, I am Jack Johnson and I have been given permission by Holy to join this crew. I'm a musician and a swordsman...just thought I'd introduce myself."

Alphonse got down in all fours, the sound of Myra actually being happy was in the air.. along with some astonished faces. It seemed like Alphonse was not out of energy, but was too sick to do anything else, same with Holy.. it seemed like with some horrible twist of fate, both the metal users were unable to proceed. Whatever Alphonse had in his body he soon realized, was not a normal stomach flue.. it seemed like a lot more to it was about to be revealed.

Alphonse could only watch as in the horizon a portion of the wave was still coming towards them, this was indeed his grave if the wave were to have hit. His body still aching from the decease, and his nausea becoming much worse as it moved along. His two suitcases with the metal suits floated over Alphonse as he gathered some strength, if it got too near, he could use their metal to at least try to protect some of the crew members.
