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

Kurohime flinches as she walks around the ship then suddenly yells "Happy birth day captin ~hic" then fainted of drinking too much.... (she's been drinking this whole time O.O).

Muso wwakes up as stretches alittle then sniffs around after Iken's smell, he found Ikens smell quick and ran towards it.

After searing for awhile Holy finally found Iken. Waiting for n opening in his coversation with Trumpet because Holy didnt want to be rude. FInding one he anounced.
"Hey Iken my Buddy How are things? Oh hello there My name is Holy pleased to meetcha."
Holy extended a hand of friendship towards trumpet.

Holy gave Iken a broad smile as he scratched is head.
"Iken I found somone interested in joining our crew. He actually helped me out alote. It be a great favor to me to let him in..."

Iken looked at Muso, his loyal pet. Reaching down he gave the wolf a scratch on his head. He hadn't been able to spend much time with him lately and missed doing so. Before Iken could step through the door he was interrupted by Holy. He looked at the weak looking fishman, he was in bad shape. However Iken didn't really have time.

"Well, you decide if he can join. After that take him down to the sick bay and have one of the doctors look him over. Anyway I'll be back soon" said Iken waving before walking through the portal.

Myra stormed angrily back down into the where the prisoners were being ket, furious that her time from tourturing was taken up by the farce. Grumbling under breath she returned to replacing the look of frustration on her face with a twisted smile of murderous intent as she giggled at the frightened prisoners before asking sweetly; "So how should I slaughter and maim you all next?"

Returning To Alern Holy' Smiled at him.
"Iken said It;'s up to me to decide if your up to the task of joining our crew.
Once you think your ready I want you to come at me with all your strength.
I will not use my powers or my abilities I will stand completely still. If your able to move me from this spot then we will except you into the Steel Village. So Give it all you got If you think you got what it takes!"

The 10ft tall half giant stood perfectly still. He had a big smile on his face. His Mood completely changed back to normal from earlier on.

Sangjo smiled when he realized that Ami would love no matter what he did. Maybe he would tell her about the Northern Wind pirates one day when he was ready. This was something that only Iken and kenji knew. Sangjo kissed Ami on the forehead "I love you." He leaped through the portal instantly reappearing in the studio. The place was filled with all kinds of music classical, R&B, Blues, Jazz, Rock, and Techno. All notes flowed throughout the place in one universal beat. Sangjo was happy to see that the family was doing well. The place was huge. There were countless business people walking around the placecarrying paperwork. It was nearly impossible to spot any of his family members. That was until he floor started shaking. Sangjo recognized them.....it was his sister opera. A huge 20 foot woman wearing a viking costume ran toward Ami and Sangjo as they entered the studio. "OOOOooooOOOOhhhHHHHH Brooooother, I'm sooooo glad tooooo seeeee yooooou AAAAAaaagain." Sangjo smiled "Nice to see you too sis.Opera this the future misses Bass, Ami. Ami this is my sister, Opera. She is also singer, but she sings opera as you can tell by her loud voice."

Alern walks towards Holy, wondering what his attack plan should be. "So, im guessing you wan't me to attack you?" He was a bit worried and was showing it. He walked until he was standing right infront of the half giant. Lifting his arm pack, preparing for a punch Alern say's "Well then, here g-" Alern stopped half way through his sentence, deciding to bite Holy's leg with both his jaws.

Alern's Sharp Teeth bite into Holy's Leg. However Holy dId not move.

"You may have Sharp teeth my friend but you havent moved me... With the postion your head is at.In A real fight I could easily chop your head off... Keep trying... Even if your gnaw my leg off I will not move from this spot... All you need to do is move me back 1 foot."

Blood poured down Holy's Leg. He bore through the pain. He wanted to See If Alern could move him. In his mind Holy couldnt accept someone who could not do just that.

Alern discovered what he had to do to be accepted into Holy's crew. The fishman quickly decided that a Smashing Block should be able to move the half giant. The wound he has is sure to open up again, but who cares about that right now?


"I know that my biteing an opponent would normally get me killed, but you said it yourself. "I will not use my powers or my abilities I will stand completely still." So why not take advantage of the siduation I have?" The fishman spins in a circle to get the speed and power he needs for his attack. While doing this he attacks the wound of Holy's leg with his muscle bound tail. Surely it wouldn't move him, but Alern's hopeing for atleast a flinch. Then suddenly, half way through his next spin Alern attacks with his right arm, aiming right for the middle of Holy's chest. "Smashing Block!"

As Alern's Muscle Bound Tail hit Holy's Tail with good force. The pain in his leg slightly distracted him. But he clenched his teeth he wasnt about to let the pain get the best of him.

Then it happened the hard punch to Holy's chest sent him flying back 10 feet.Slowly standing up Holy said. "Oh shit..... That was a good punch ok Stern Welcome to the Steel Village."

Holy did a little clap to welcome him. Frowning a little he said. "I dunno why you didnt just use that punch from the beginning lol."

Alern smiled when he seen the half giant fly back. Laughing Alern comented on Holy's question. "To be honest, I completely forgot what I was supposed to do when I decided to bite you." The fishman was not lying, but his actions did win him a place on a new crew. "That and I thought my inguries were worse then they really are. But looking at it now, the wound barely opened up."

After thinking for some time... Monty decided that he had to return to fishman island to train and be stronger. He went to his room, wrote a note and left it there if someone looked for him. He threw himself into the ocean and swam in the direction they had come from.

He was going to turn into a fishman karate master.

Ami looked around the building with wide, shining eyes and a bright smile on her face. It was like a musician's Heaven!
She'd never been in a place filled with so many different genres of music!

"Oh Sangjo! It's wonderful here!" she beamed, giving her tail fins a happy little flick. She tilted her head with interest when the massive woman was suddenly introduced to her and an awestruck gleam lit up in the little mermaid's eyes when Opera sang. "Wow, Opera!! You have the most powerful soprano voice that I've <i>eveeeeerr heeeaarrrd</i>~" Ami half-sung back to her. "Hi there. It's so nice to meet you!"
Ami took Opera's hand and shook it, silently hoping that Sangjo's kinswoman would like her and deem her worthy of Sangjo.

Iken looked around the building and took it all in. There was so much happening at once. Senses that hadn't been ever stimulated so much were being blown away. So much music, it was almost dizzying. However the biggest surprise was the woman that came in the room. Apparently the large opera singer was Sangjo's sister.

Looking from Sangjo to Trumpet, and finally to their sister; Iken was slightly confused. Most of the time the males were larger, however it was the opposite with Sangjo's family. With the size of his sister, Iken generally wondered if they had a recessive giant gene in their family. Iken had seen it first hand back in his old village. Every now and again, a larger human would be born, and looking back it always turned out they had a giant back down the line.

"Nice to meet you ma'am, I'm Iken Namikaze; Captain of the Steel Village." said Iken introducing himself to Sangjo's sister.

Opera took Ami's hand and pulled her toward her "Handshakes are too formal. In this family we hug. Welcome to the family. Oh please let me escort you to Big Daddy's office." Opera sang as she clung Ami to her chest a little too tight. Opera didn't know her own strength, and always got carried away with the hugging. Sangjo had to step in and save Ami. He remembered all the hugs she gave him as a child. It was a mircale that he still has a good back. "Sis thats enough now. You might be hurting my bride to be." Opera then stopped hurting Ami placing her upon Sangjo's arms "Oh sorry sweetie. I sometimes forget my strength because of my size. Also ur the first girl Sangjo has ever brought home. We never thought he would be serious with a woman. Even when he was child he had of man twice his size and he wasn't afraid to use them if you know what I meant. Our brother sangjo was a player. Its surprising that he wants to settle down with you."

Sangjo's face turned red from embrassment "Sister please enough."

Then Opera saw Iken. Her face turned red from infatuation "Ah so you are the legendary Iken. I have heard tales of your exploits, but they don't nearly serve you justice. Thank you for taking good care of my brother. Allow me to return you a favor."

"Now sis remember your last suitor. He sued for sexual harassment." Sangjo warned.

Opera gave him a look which said "Unless you want to be punted shut the hell up." She picked up Iken with her hand pressig him against her large cleverage and shaking them back and forth against Iken.

Sangjo just held his down in shame. "The bass family a family full of perverts. I'm sorry you had to see this Ami."

Takumi looked at Myra in disgust. Killing really was all she ever thought about. He would have loved to kick her around for a bit but that wasn't up to him. He'd talk about it with Iken later, though it would likely not have any effect since Iken would surely have his reasons for allowing her outrageous behavior. But at least he would know the reasons then.

But that would have to wait. Right now, he wanted to meet Sangjo's family as he likely wouldn't get a second chance. He wouldn't want to spoil the meetup of Sangjo with his family by talking about serious matters. He felt a bit anxious stepping through the portal with Trumpet's warning in mind but no accidents happened on the way through. When he got through, however, the lights and sounds overwhelmed him. Takumi blinked a few times to get the colorful spots out of his eyes and took a look around.

The place and the people in it looked rather over the top to him, but it had a certain joyful mood around it. He saw Iken talking to a really large woman that looked like Sangjo. Probably a family member. He walked over to Iken, Sangjo and Sangjo's family member and introduced himself.

"Hello, I'm Takumi, a member of the Second Division of the Steel Village, nice to meet you. And you are?..."

Holy smiled at Alern as he slowly walked back down below Deck.
"Well welcome to the Crew my new friend. Forgive me but after that episode back in town and our little test I need some rest. Have a look around & get to know your new crew mates"

Holy found his resting spot and went back to sleep.

Ami blinked, letting out a little squeak when she was suddenly squeezed to the giant woman’s chest, the little mermaid feeling a little breathless afterwards. However, her smile did not drop and she did her best to return the hug.
“Awh, it’s alright, Opera-chan,” she giggled. “I love giving hugs too and so do the rest of my family on Fishman Island.”
She blinked at Opera’s revelations about Sangjo being a bit of a player but rather than seeming disgusted or shocked at this, Ami beamed even wider up at her husband to be, hugging him tightly. “Of all the men and women that you could have settled down with and you chose me?! I feel so honoured to be the special one of all your lovers, Sangjo-kun!”

Whether just kind and optimistic or just plain ditzy, Ami didn’t seem fazed in the slightest by this new piece of information about Sangjo’s past.
Ami laughed gently at Opera’s flirtations and shrugged. “Captain-Iken-sama-kun might just be a secret ladies man. I think my cousin Aurora had a crush on him too. She’s just too shy to show it and too bound by her responsibilities...but your family are so open about their feelings! I love it!”

Ami felt a little butterfly ripple in the pit of her stomach at the prospect of soon having to meet Sangjo’s father. She really hoped that Mr Bass liked her enough to allow her to marry his son.
She noticed the look of shame on Sangjo’s face and lightly kissed his lips, lifting his chin with one hand. “I can’t wait to meet the rest of your wonderful family.”

Myra cackled with glee as she hunted down each prisoner she realsed from the third casge, cutting them down as they helplessly fled, screaming in fear until they cried out in pain as she slashed at them, running around like headless chickens. Myra wasn't the smartest psychopath, so didn't think things through enough to the fact some of the prisoners managed to run up on deck, though they wouldn't get far, since Myra was in hot pursuit of them, since all the other escapies were either very very dead, or bleeding out slowly. "No point in runing fresh meat! Myra will slaughter you in the end!" , she cackled as she slashed at one of the prionser before he got past the door, leaving just two of them left, making a beeline to the gangplank of the ship, Myra purusing them with glee. "It's more entertaining if you run though, more intresting angles which I slice at!", the pyschopath added cheerfully.

In a flash Iken disappeared from in-between the large woman's cleavage. Before his spear could even hit the floor, Iken grabbed it and replaced it on his back. Iken stood three feet in front of Sangjo's sister. Smiling, Iken took a deep breath trying to regain what Opera has squeezed out of him.

"Thanks, for such a warm welcome; but I was wondering where we could get a new log pose for the New World? I've been told the one for this site of the Red is a bit different." Iken said seriously, but never once loosing his grin.

Opera then saw another member of steel. A man called Takumi came toward her "Ohhh a man!" Opera grabbed him and placed him with her clearvage and shook them as hard as she could. Then Iken he asked about a log pose. Opera had turned red from embrassment completely forgetting about taking them to big daddy. "Your right you would need one. Follow me please." Opera said running toward two large doors ahead of them while still carrying Takumi in her cleverage. Inside would be the rest of the bass family awaiting for steel.

Sangjo released a sigh of relief that Ami wasn't mad at him. She kissed him again before stating she couldn't wait to see the rest of his family. Sangjo said as he walked behind his sister "I don't think I can last through anymore embrassment."

Ami put her arms around Sangjo's neck, cuddling up against his chest. "Wow, your sister seems to make friends with men really easily!" She smiled. "Don't worry. You have no reason to be embarassed. You can't judge one person just by looking at their family. I mean just look at me and my Papa!"

She giggled as Takumi found himself buried in Opera's cleavage. Ami looked down at her own perky, bouncing bosom, covered by a traditional seashell bikini top and ran a finger down her own cleavage. "Hmmm," she thought. "Not quite big enough to hold someone in..."
She beamed happily and then rested her head against his shoulder, looking a trifle worried, her brow furrowing. "I really hope that the rest of your family like me." The little mermaid swallowed, suddenly feeling a little nervous.
An important question had been praying on her mind for a long time and she very much wanted to ask it before she and her human lover got married. "Uh...Sangjo...,"Ami began in a quiet voice.

Suddenly Ami's eyes went big with curiosity and for a brief moment, she forgot about her earlier, more awkward question, asking a new one.
"What's a log pose, exactly? I've heard one mentioned before but I don't think I've ever seen one."

As Myra ran up to the gangplank where the prisoners where trying to escape, she quickly slashed at their legs, both of them falling to the ground with a shriek. She then tossed one of the prisoners back near the entrance which led to the prisoner room, who clutched his legs in pure agony, while the second prisoner was attempting to crawl away. Myra solved this issue by messily decapitating the man, first lodging her chakram into his neck crudely and then shoving it through with a grunt of effort. The remaining prisoner screamed in terror, flopping on the deck in panic as he tried his best to squirm away, with little success as Myra leapt onto his back, effectively stomping on his spine with a sickening crunch. "Well, looks like that's that with this lot then!" Myra smirked to herself as she collected the corpses of the two escaped prisoners that managed to make it updeck and threw them down the stairs to the prisoners room. "Right only one cage left!" Myra cackled as she closed the prisoner room door behind her.

Sangjo smiled as his sweet ami comforted him again "Love, my family is nothing but a bunch of pervys even the female counterparts. I just didn't want you to get turned off by them. They are good people though, and loving and sweet and kind." Sangjo then remembered that Ami didn't care. He had such a great woman. Sangjo knew his family would accept her "A long pose is a special mad compass for the grand line. You see each island carries their own magnetic field which a log pose points to. They are very important to travel the grandline. Otherwise we could get lost."

Opera then pushed the office doors to reveal a large office inside. A tall man was sitting at his desk signing a few papers as techno music was playing around the office. The entire room shook as the music played. The man was clearly middle aged, his hair once red was now white, he had a small braided bead on his chin, and his clothing was of a DJ. Sangjo recognize the old hipster as his dad. His stepmom who was surprising younger than him about 18-20 years old. She was dressed with glasses and a business suit. There was also one more person in the room which was his youngest brother Axel. "Hmmm its that you sangjo? and this must be the young lady that will one day supply me with grand children. Welcome ha ha ah please come in come in. Its not every day we get to meet some guests." Axel who was fourteen ran up to hug Sangjo's legs "Big brother your are home. Who is this lady?" Sangjo smiled "This is going to your sister in law. Axel sticked out his tongue at Ami "She is ulgy."

In the distance a black ship is sailing towards the island known only by its Sounds, the sounds of music. The ship seemed like it was worn out from a battle, but the damage seemed almost old.. nobody chose to fix it. Inside Karasu was sitting down talking to his den-den mushi, on his soft yet queen sized bed. His conversation was serious, and in an almost uncaring/cold tone.

"Is this really the island where Iken is heading? If you are wrong you know what I'll do to you.." the voice on the phone was more energetic, but in the way a man would sound if he was in the cage with a lion, with steak attached to his chest. "Y-Y-Yes sir, the Yonku should be in the island, a brief glimpse was seen of him but the spy clarified only HIS ship was that big and detailed." Karasu took a moment to think.. if the ship they were talking about was Youris he would head back to Dark isle just to shoot the retard that mistook the two. He stood up, and walked towards the deck; it seemed like the inside was a lot neater then the outside. Once Karasu stood outside he could see the island within vision, he hung up the den den mushi and moved the wheel so the ship would steer towards the docks. In a few moments Karasu had already landed, and left his ship on the dock with his vulture settling on his shoulder.

He was now roaming the streets, his black coat changed with normal civilian clothing and his guns hidden under his shirt. He had jeans on, with a normal long sleeved shirt (white) with his Silver hair tied into a semi-short pony-tail, he was ready to confront Iken without any interruptions.

-Alphonse-
"Ugh... Why is it that the worst things happen to me.." Alphonse was in his bed, fetal position, his face almost pale. He knew he wasn't sea-sick so it had to be the next worst thing.. stomach flue, his bulky body was in the most child-like of positions with his hair covering his face, this was the beginning of a very LONG stay with the bass family, Alphonse of course.. would stay at the ship.
