A gigantic ship that was the size of a small town sailed through the waters of the Calm Belt. It was a Treasure Ship in shape. The main ship of the Tychee Pirates known once was known as 'The Zheng'. A ship meant for plundering. It was wide as multiple buildings were laid down. 500 long and 200 meters wide
One of the member of the Tychee Pirates, Sahn, was a woman whose hair perpetually hid her face and was kept in a short black messy bob. A small fang at the corner of her mouth. She wore baggy pants with many pockets and a tight crop top tank top that was black and had the Jolly Roger of the Tyche Pirates. A symbol of the top half of a cats head, in a cartoonish simple shapes, fangs show, as below the teeth a ships wheel sits. Behind was two snakes from the side view as if a snake with two heads, one on each side, was laid flat behind it.
Sahn looked out amongst the waves with a treacherous giggle that to any one else would seem too devious. But to the Tyche around it was nothing but her being her. Members of the Tyche fluctuate regularly. And as apart of the current 'Mission' Boudicca and Zora were now on the ship as well.
Sahn was the Choregirl. Or was, well, more realistically, the troublemaker. But theres no proper rolename for such a crew position.
Amelia was the Shipwright, an inventor who had came from the opposing Blue, the South.
Elifri, their doctor who once worked in a prison before the transport was destroyed. She had made an effort to make the conditions on the island which served as complete prison for the companies that were operating in the South along with Kingdoms and political prisoners who often attempted to meddle in the operations of Companies who themselves were their own kingdoms
Nanwida was the First Mate
Tadi was the Second Mate
Sifa was the Lookout
The Navigator was a Woman by the name of Eva, a sail fish fishman. Whos fin was like one long mohawk mullet that traveled down her back. She had a long slender pretty face and blue silvery skin.
And finally the Cook was none other than Big Bertha and her apprentices. And given the beating that had been given to her. She was currently bandaged but was in good spirits. Attempting to chow down on as much food as possible
"Love. Are you sure this is a Good Idea?" Eliza asked. Now wearing her Privateering outfit that consisted of a leather corset, white frilled sleeve dress shirt, and wide bottomed pants made of fabric. She also wore flat heeled boots
"Yes. Absolutely. Theres no other way for me to go about this. And I can't in good faith ask you to take me to such a dangerous place." He said eyes out on the horizon. Mind wrapping quickly around so many different ways this could go and what to do with each
"You know they won't take you in immediately…" She said putting a hand on him
"Well. I'm gonna have to make it a fast track journey then." His grip tightened. "They want me so bad they put a bounty on my head. I'll have to live up to it. And give em some nice motivation to move things along quickly."
"What are you going to do?" She asked with a worried looked and bead of sweat down her face "Gonna turn the world upside down. They won't see it coming"
She felt a shiver down her back as she heard the words. So convicted, precise, and full of passion.
"Okay…"
The Ship continued forward. The large cat fish that accompanied the boats through the grand line continued to serve almost as buoys, also pulled this ship forward. Water moving through an open section at the button of the ship beneath the water to push through a system of wheels that that then help power the furnaces that continue the chain and apply momentum into the propellers at the back.
The island they were heading for was the Main Marine base in the South Blue. Baharini. It was unlike many of the islands that looked beautiful in the south blue, and went for a more pragmatic approach to architecture, but even then many of the buildings had to keep the tropical look of open air buildings for comfort. Even with the Advent of Cooling systems in the past decades
It was once a mountainous jungle, but had since been flattened, with Civilians at the front, with many Marine Patrols, then followed by bases, and more Civilians that were more economically endowed, and finally at the top was the main marine base, A large circular chimney similar to many simple to establish bases around the world, but with a large base that had many windows and sigils of the Marines into them
Leroy took a small boat and continued from there. The ship far past the Horizon. All he needed to do was Sail straight. He didn't have to worry about going off course, because no matter which way he went, he'd inevitably see the island.
The civilians, who were so blissfully unaware of much of the world outside of what the Government told them, walked the streets and the docks as Leroy pulled into them. Many of them smiled, a sense of peace that to Leroy was unearned.
Unearned because of the fact that they were benefiting from suffering at the hands of those they chatted with. The Marines. The Government. And the Local Kingdoms. If Leroy knew about the Companies? He might just decide to keep a small stay in the South and Cause more trouble. But that was an entire ocean. And there was only so much he could do alone before…
Well. Desamare happened again
These civillains were the average type. Pirates bad, Marines good. Government Great. Any problems that happened? That was just the way of life and you hope it goes better next time. And above all? They disdained Violence. As if it were such a bad thing.
They would see marines as good however. 'Thats Different'. And anything else was uncivilized. Like the Malita. 'Why can't they just talk?' is what they would say. As if talking hadn't been tried only to gain small concessions that could easily be taken away at any point.
They will just accept their 'Peace' and 'Justice' with out questioning the cost that comes with it, and sneer in disgust when they see anything close to it, when its in the name of true change.
"Oh hello young man!" A woman said as Leroy came to a stop. She was an elderly woman by the name of Agnus. "Here let me help-" She stopped eyes widening at seeing who was lifting out his hand
"I-I-I…" She turned and scampered off. The island had bounty posters on every corner. Images of the most notorious pirates burned in their minds
"Well." Leroy began "That was quicker than expected. He leapt up, landed on the doc, and began to walk down the wood. Many people noticed him, and many began to scurry away but with out drawing attention. Some did whisper to marines which were quickly, but still walking, too Leroy.
"I guess I should hurry up!" He said as he took a deep breath. Raised his hand out to his sides and brought them together with a might
CLAP!
"My Name Is Falcon D. Leroy! And I killed a Celestial Dragon!"
