[[North Blue, in the sea near Tundra Pass]]

The freezing air would make any man shiver. Most of the cutting edge pirates were shivering in fact. Including the Captain of the crew that sailed on the ship called the Elizabeth. Jack Lacroix took another swig of the rum and sat down on the railings near the helm. He hiccuped as he drank, and hummed a tune "Drink up me hearties yo ho....." Jack then yelled "HOW BE THE BEARINGS MR NICK?!!!!"

Unlike the others nick was enjoying the brisk breeze. He didn't understand others hatred of cold weather, it was at least a few degrees warmer then his home island. When Jack asked him about his bearings he replied "By the looks of it were almost there, in twenty minutes we should see land, that's enough time to take a nap, right?" without even waiting for and answers Nick sat down in a chair and started sleeping.

Oniyuri felt fine in the wind and The snow. She was Wearing a Cloak, earmuffs, and A Scarf that covered her Body, Face and ears and was warm, But the Crew seemed to be cold. Oniyuri noticed Jack was Drinking Rum. She couldn't have a drunk captain while approaching this island. What If His decisions were influenced by the Alcohol or it was a Hostile situation on the Island. Oniyuri had to Hide His Rum. Oniyuri would walk up to her Captain, take his rum. And Hand it off to a Crewmate.

"Put this Away, and Don't drink it. I dont want a Drunk crew." Oniyuri said With a Stern Look on her face. "Jack, that alcohol could Influence your judgment. If you keep drinking before something important ill start putting poison in the rum."

Oniyuri Turned and Walked towards the Railing Looking at the Ocean and Listening to the Crew.

Jack grinned at Oni as she threatened to poison the rum , he chuckled and threw the bottle into the sea "Aye.... what a way to live...... hmmm?" Jack then saw a sail approaching in the distance. He then smiled wildly and jumped up "SHIP AHOY LADS!!!! TIME TO PILLAGE!!!!!" Jack ran to the helm as he shouted.

"huh? A ship? Jack we don't know who is one they might take away too much nap time! Why we would attack them out of the blue" moaned Nick as he picked the best vantage point to look at the ship.

Jack grinned "Arent we PIRATES ME LADS!!!! WE NEED SOME MONEY BEFORE HEADING INTO TOWN!!, FIRST MATE READY THE CANNON!!!!!!!!" Jack was getting ready to sound warning shots.

Nika pouted, she didn't like how this was going, she had worked HOURS in the chocolate cake for her sister's marriage, something that should be perfect and just perfect, but it wasn't. And that fact made Nika extremely upset. She slumped down on her armchair and sighed. "Why can't I make something right for once?" she asked herself, although she hadn't noticed someone approaching from behind.

"Oh no, you do make things right, dear. It's just that you're such a perfectionist that even when they are perfect, you still believe that they can be better" her mother laughed patting Nika kindly on the back, thinking that Nika couldn't be sillier, as the cake was obviously perfect and Nika's sister was going to love it. "Anna is going to love it and you know it. So relax and get ready for the wedding!" and with that her mother left, not even letting her say something about it.

"Ugh bossy bossy... but okay.." she muttered under her breath and went to change into a purple dress that fit her perfectly, all her curves were shown without turning it to a slutty dress, and it came down to her knees, the skirt being pretty and with thin silver flowers. She curled her hair and put it up in an elegant bun, then finally applying a little of makeup so her mother wouldn't annoy her about being ungirly, although she was girly but just didn't like applying weird things in her face.

She walked down the stairs to the restaurant to check all the food was ready for the wedding celebration, and it was. She smiled to herself thinking that this was going to be awesome, she loved parties and her father said that she would finally be able to drink alcohol, as long as she didn't drink that much. Now, Nika wasn't that interested in alcohol but maybe with the help of it she would loosen up and maybe meet a interesting guy or someone fun. She sighed and started walking towards the door, meeting up with her mother. "Hey mom, where's Anna?" she said asking for her older sister, the bride, who apparently wasn't there yet.

"She's getting ready, apparently there was something wrong with her dress and they had to fix it in the last moment, but she's already coming down, or so says Mikaela" she commented and then grinned, pointing at the bride that was holding her dress with her hands so she could run down the stairs. Nika's sister was just as beautiful as Nika, she had the same blue eyes as Nika although she had inherited her father's brown hair, which was curly instead of straight. She was panting by the time she got to the door. "Oh my Anna, you look beautiful! Although you shouldn't have ran! You'll ruin your makeup dear!" Nika's mother said dramatically, trying to send air with her fan to Anna. "Should we go now" she asked and everyone nodded, starting to walk towards the church.

Nika smirked and whispered in Anna's ear "Sis, that last minute fix wasn't because you gained weight was it?" she teased Anna but she only received a glare and a punch in the stomach. "Ouch, you hit like a guy" she muttered under her breath as she followed her sister to the church. The ceremony was traditional and there were some tears shed, Anna's father because he was losing his baby girl, and Anna's mother because she just felt like crying. In the mean while Nika was looking around wondering if people would like the food she worked so hard in for the celebration, and also wondering if her sister would like the cake she worked even harder in.

Once the celebration finished everyone headed to the gigantic tent that was put for the occasion, it was beautiful, the theme was angels and everything was either white, silver or light blue. There were roses and everything, even the dancefloor looked perfect, it was all her effort in planning the party, because Anna had begged Nika to plan her wedding celebration, no one else, just Nika. After months of work, you could see how perfect everything truly looked. She sighed happily and hugged her sister from behind, who hugged her arms as it was everything she could do. "Nika, it's perfect, thank you so much. I knew I did well in choosing you as the wedding planner. You rock, even if you just called me fat moments ago" Anna commented while crying silently, she was too emotional because it was HER wedding, and it was perfect so far.

"I know I rock, pshhh" she said and then left to check on the food and everything that the wedding planner should do, because she was that good of a sister. 'I just hope everything goes perfect for her today' Nika thought while smiling at everyone in the party, she had always gotten along with the people in the town so why not inviting them, besides Anna didn't mind, she wanted her wedding to be big and awesome. She knew that everyone in the town liked the Kron family, the owners of the best restaurant and also the most friendly people in town, maybe it was just because of they way they were brought up, being polite and nice to everyone and know that work is important as well, so they wouldn't be lazy or anything. Nika continued making her way to the food.

((Juphy and Getsu where are your posts?!!!))

[[Back at sea]]

The cannons fired at Jacks command and was firing towards the merchant ship. The Elizabeth closed in on its target while firing cannons. Jack raised his arms "COME ON LADDIES!!!! GET ALL OF IT!!! GOLD AND FOOD!!!!!! ARHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" Jack grinned as he was about to land into the merchant ship. He jumped off onto the merchant ship. There were terrified people and guards all around "Give us all your provisions and nobody gets hurt"

Arriving at the docks and climbing from the supply ship Mutton thanked the man who'd given him the lift here from the previous island and headed into town. He was feeling pretty good about himself, he had saved the 1st mate of this ship and in return they offered him a lift anywhere he wanted. His first suggestion was a little too ambitious though. As great as it would be to start off in the Grand Line it wasn't going to happen. Things were too dangerous for a newly starting out Pirate. Seeing that he was once a teacher he realised if he went out of his way to stand causing havoc in the Grand Line now he'd most likely get killed. Perhaps once he gathered a crew together and become much stronger, smarter.

Perhaps then he could head for the Grand Line and prove his self worth, but not before.

As he said his thanks and good byes to the crew who'd helped him arrive here Mutton headed into the town looking for a quiet place to train himself up. As he walked leaving the docks behind he heard sounds like that of an attack and ignored it. He wasn't about to join someone else's fight without any real fighting skill of his own.

"*sigh* I suppose we need to steal things then." Nick said while yawning. Nick then waited until they were close enough then he took his chains and made a bridge out of them and calmly walking over to the merchants ship. When he got there he say his captain yelling and terrified people all over the place. Nick walked up to a young girl and said "Can you point me in the direction of your beds?"

Guest

Helen was in the ladies room of the merchant ship. The crew had found her sailing aimlessly on the seas on a raft. Her life of piracy was a epic disaster. Not only could she not find a crew but had to pick up by sailors. Helen decided to live wherever this ship brought her and start her life as normal person. Her dreams and ambitions were crushed. To makes matters worse she was sea sick. Helen vomited into the tiolet again. She got up on her flimsy legs barely able to stand up. Helen walked up to the deck to once again thank the crew for taking her in these last few weeks until she saw that they were terrified by two people on the ship. It wasn't hard to figure out what had happened. These were pirates.

Helen opened her mouth to say something but wounded up running to the railing of the ship to once again vomit over the ledge....

As the Elizabeth came closer to Its Target, Jack and Nick both made their ways onto the Merchant ship. Nick tethered the Elizabeth to the Merchant Vessel while Jack Just Leapt over. Oniyuri Made her way onto the Merchant ship Drawing her Katana Slowly, And 'Ladylike' Not like a Brute. She walked over The Chain Bridge and Ordered the Crew on the Elizabeth to Cut the Chains if Anything Went Wrong. Oniyuri was Confident that Nick could help, Until he asked a Girl where the Beds were. Oniyuri snapped. Something about this man and His need to constantly sleep annoyed her. "Nick, I will throw you off this Boat, and Watch you drown, if you do not do anything but sleep" Oniyuri said as She Stopped her Graceful movements, And Started swinging her Katana In a Rampage Towards Nick. "But, To the crew of this ship, We need Food and Money. Now."

[[on the merchant ship]]

Jack laughed loudly as most of the crew headed to pillage the merchant ship, he then saw a lady vomiting on the side railing of the ship. Jack then sat down on a crate "Nick, go back to the ship to sleep you cur, we need to finish up here quickly, arahahhaahhaha, looks like this lass over here is a typical land lover, arhahahahaha, oni me lass, take the land lover and put her with the rest of her crew!!!" Jack was referring to the girl near the railing. The merchant ships crew were all huddled up together and overwhelemed that no one was there to protect them.

Nick heard the command of his captain and walked ignored it, he walked over to the captains quarters, found gold, silver, rum and their hostages. He made chains come out of his back and picked up the bed in the room, got a few gold coins and went back to their ship with the bed in his possession.

Helen got up dizzy and disoriented. She knew that man was talking about her. He must be the captain the way he was ordering everyone "No I won't come ith you. I'm Helen, a legendary pirate of the sea. These men helped me in mah time of need. You are going to have fight me to steal from their ship, but I warn u. I have over 1,000 followers ready to strike at my command." Helen stood up in a heroic proud pose pointing at them. On the surface it seem she was brave and reckless. however upon closer inpection Helen was showing signs clearly showing she was lying. Her knees were saking, she was sweating lightly, and couldn't pull off a straight face. Helen was terrified.

Jack laughed so hard he nearly fell off the side of the ship railing "Did you hear that LADDIES!!! ARAHHAHAHHAHAHAAHHAAHA The lass is a legendary pirate of the sea eh? 1000 followers eh? ARHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA, aye , she could spin a yarn or two with them stories of hers, so tell me lass.... how do you feel about becoming a pirate?"

Guest

Helen turned red with embrassment "I am a pirate" she yelled in a winy childish vocie while stopping on the ground in a fit. These guys weren't taking her seriously. It wasn't hard to figure out. Helen got sea sickness, she doesn't have a bounty, and she was scared as hell. No wonder they didn't take her seriously. Helen then said "....I always wanted to become a pirate but I could never make by myself, but I want join you if you rob these people." Helen put out her fists "I won't let you." Helen was in her fighting stance still scared but determined.

Stopping before walking away from the docks Mutton remembered his crew mate who'd been swimming after the ship as he didn't trust the men on the ship. As he waited he watched as tentacles rose up from the water and Kurage climbed out of the sea to join Mutton. Wearing his sweater Mutton didn't feel the cold much as it did a good job of keeping him warm. Kurage on the other hand felt freezing and wrapped his arms around himself looking at Mutton.

"Whats wrong Kurage feeling a little chilly?"

Kurage nodded shivering.

"Well lets go get you a coat then."

Mutton and Kurage headed into town for a clothing store so Kurage could pick up a coat.

"What are we doing here on this island? Its freezing."

"Well I'm hoping to get my hands on perhaps some new crew mates, maybe learn some a fighting style and get my hands on a ship. We need one after all."

"Actually I don't mind swimming all this way. Its like exercise for me."

"Well I can't swim everywhere and we're going to need a ship for our other crew mates when we get them."

"Your really certain we'll get other crew mates?"

"Well I got to have some hope."

Reaching the shop Kurage headed into the shop for a coat and Mutton noticed a board on the wall of the shop. He walked up to it and began looking through the bounty posters. As he looked through them all he found one which had a bounty on it of. 42,000,000 Beli. Mutton removed it from the board thinking to himself it would perhaps be a good plan for them to catch this pirate and hand him over to the government. This would prove his strength as a Pirate. As he looked at the picture and name the thoughts quickly vanished from his mind. The name read Kurage Mollusco and the picture was of Kurage looking pretty beat up. Kurage exited the shop with a thick coat on and looked at Kurage.

"Hey Kurage you didn't tell me you had a bounty of 42 million.

42 million? Looks like they raised it.

"Yea seems it. We should be careful of any Marines."

"I thought you were a Pirate?"

"I am, but I want to be able to fight before I get into it with the marines if you hadn't noticed I'm a former teacher. I spent more time marking kids work than I did learning to fight."

"Well then I think its time we taught you to fight."

"Don't worry I'll learn on my own. I have some knowledge on certain things in which I think may be able to help me fight.

A light breeze blew past Mutton & Kurage feeling the cold Kurage tugged at his coat more and Mutton folded Kurage's bounty poster up and ripped it up into pieces.

"So Kurage how does a visit to the shipyard sound?"

"Lets get going, I guess we need a ship sometime."

Mutton headed off looking for signs to the shipyard whilst Kurage allowed one of his tentacles to slip inside a pub they were passing. He grabbed a young man's beer and snatched it. As he wrapped more tentacles around it he slipped his tentacles in it and began to drink from it through his tentacles. If he had a mouth he would be grinning right now but it didn't matter it felt good to have a beer after that long swim. Mutton was stood in the distance reading the signs. Kurage joined him enjoying his beer.

"I would love to stay and watch but I need too... map things... or something." Nick said when he saw Jack and the liar girl fighting. With that he tried to figure out a way to get the much more comfortable bed in his sleeping quarters.

Oniyuri Giggled as Jack and this Lying Women Bickered , Oniyuri was told to put her in with the Crew but she Waited for a Moment and She watched as The Woman Declared herself A Pirate and took a Fighting Stance. "Please, Come With Me" Oniyuri said as She Sheathed her Katana And Quickly Slipped her Knife Into Her Sleeve. Oniyuri walked towards The Woman With an Outstretched hand. "I will escort you to your Quarters"

Jack laughed again "Sorry lass, we are stealing all the booty... dont worry, we left enough of the emergency rations for the good people here.... just taking some of their valuables is all... i swear the pirate trade aint what it used to be. So many moralists around.... sigh..... well, come along then, we are done. You too girl.. if you want to be one of us...." Jack walked away back onto his ship and yelled "NICK set a course for Tundra Pass!! There is celebrating to be done this day!!!! ARAHHAHAHAHAAHA"

Nika Kron pouted while she watched everyone have fun in the wedding, people passed by the food and grabbed something small and went again to dance and have fun overall, she was slightly upset about the fact that no one had told her that her food was good but she didn't mind it as long as her sister was having fun, and by the way her and her new husband were dancing and sharing saliva, it was obvious that she was. Nika sighed, I'll be single forever, she thought while staring at her glass of wine, suddenly the idea of drinking alcohol didn't seem as appealing as before, she was mostly disappointed at herself for her inability of having fun in these kind of reunions/celebrations.

"You okay, Nika?" Mikaela, Anna's maid of honor, asked with concern clear in her voice. Mikaela and Nika had been friends forever, and she was Anna's bestfriend, which was why she was the maid of honor. Mikaela was almost like her sister, meaning that Nika really loved her as well, and was one of the few good friends Nika had, even if she did get along with everyone.

Nika nodded and smiled at Mikaela. "Yes, I am fine. It's just that you know that I am not good in these kind of things... I suck at this" Nika said honestly while sighing again. Mikaela just chuckled and patted Nika in the back, taking away her glass of wine and running away. "Ah that's not fair... not like I was going to drink that anyway" Nika was now sulking and looking around with a happy expression on her face, so she wouldn't worry Anna who was having the time of her life in HER day. Nika knew that she couldn't be selfish and ruin her sister's day.

"Uhm.. can I have this dance?" for the first time, Nika noticed a little boy that was standing besides her, she smiled at him, he was blushing and he was so cute, so she nodded and the boy grinned. "Yay! I'm Zackary, nice to meet you lady! I must say you're gorgeous!" Zackary's blunt words made Nika blush but she continued to smile.

"Nice to meet you, Zackary. My name is Nika, and I must comment that you look extremely handsome yourself" she said giggling at the child who was making her day brighter. Instead of responding, Zackary just took Nika's hand with his, which was way smaller as well, and started dancing with her, Nika just smiled and danced along.

Helen saw the swordswoman extended her hand. She was tempted to take it for this is what she has been waiting for all her life. Helen had wanted to serve in a crew and finally become a pirate. She looked behind at the crew of the ship with a worried look. The crew began to urge her to go with the pirates

"Go on Helen. This is your dream right?"
"Don't worry about us we will survive. The captain promised us to save us some rations"
"Yeah go on. You weren't much of a sailor anyways."
"Now you're their problem"

The crew began to laugh. Helen smiled reliefed that she could now leave "Thank you you guys." Helen took Oniyuri's hand ready to depart. She looked back once more to wave at the crew who taken such good care of her.

"Right Kurage seems the shipyard is down this way. Lets go find ourselves a ship. I'd love to get my hands on something large and tough, but I guess we'll see what happens."

"Ok then........well lets go see what we can find then Captain."

Mutton smiled up at Kurage and noticed he had his tentacles wrapped around a mug of beer.

"Where'd you get that from?"

"Some guy who wasn't using it"

"Alright then. Lets get going"

Mutton started heading towards the docks and Kurage followed behind drinking from the glass. As he followed behind Mutton he said to him.

"So Mutton other than getting hold of a ship what else are we doing here?"

"Well to be honest with you, I'm not entirely sure. I mean I still need to learn how to fight. Pick up crew mates, get hold of a ship...."

"Crime wise, what are we here for?"

"Well we could steal the ship."

"You were planning on paying for it?"

Mutton smirked.

"Of course not. I'm thinking perhaps we can rob a bank around here just to see if we can do it. After all I've never really been in the line of fire or committed a crime so it would be nice to start off with something small."

"Well would you like me to leave you to it or would you like to do it yourself?"

"As much as I'd love to do it myself I do believe it may be a good idea to do it with your help Kurage."

"Whats a matter? Don't you believe you can do it on your own?"

"I believe as a crew mate of mine we should fight together so our fighting styles can merge."

"The fighting styles you don't yet have?"

"I'll learn......or just improvise"

Reaching the shipyard Mutton pushed the doors open and headed in wards to see many shipwrights working away. Snow had begun to fall and settled on Kurage's head and Mutton's hair. As they looked at the shipwrights they could be seen working away hard, hammering away and putting together their new ship.

Mutton looked around at them and could see how little clothing they wore, he was surprised to see how comfortable they were doing so. Passing a glance to Kurage he could see how he was casing the yard. Looking at their new ship it looked like it was going to be something the creators would be proud of. Looking at it Mutton began to think about stealing it and nudged Kurage then hinted towards it. Kurage nodded.

"I don't think this ship will be finished for a while since they're still building it."

"Oh I know that. Thats fine gives us more time to spend here on the island, which will be just fine by me. More time to check out the docks."

"Thats true."

Mutton and Kurage split up as they walked around getting a good view of the shipyard. They met against the other end by the water and looked out over the cold sea water then back at the shipwrights who were still working away so hard. Mutton looked up at the ship and at the figure head. The ship was small but it still looked pretty good, specially for a first ship. Kurage looked at the shipwrights, watching each one he focused on their skills watching them build figuring out how they'd fight when himself & Mutton attempted to steal their new ship.

The figure head of a black dog with yellow eyes and fangs sat staring into the distance as Mutton stared at it knowing that no matter what he wanted that figure head for his ship.

[[At sea, 30 minutes after looting]]

The pirates of the Cutting Edge were celebrating their raid and dancing around. Jack himself was sitting on the side railling of his ship and laughing in the process. Jack then yelled "Oni, how goes the provisions?!!!!" One of the younger pirates was carrying coin which they had just retrieved "CAPTAIN!! WITH ALL THIS GOLD!!! WE DONT NEED PROVISIONS!!!" Jack laughed as he waited for onis response, he hoped Nicks path was the right one to Tundras pass.
