The Steel Village Aftermath of the Atlantis War - Will Iken Return? (Open to the Steel Village, those who are joining the Steel and any allies or crews that want to be allies with the Steel Village)

A month had passed since the Steel Village left the war behind as Iken fought vigorously to give them time. The buster call that drove the crews away was a frighting ordeal indeed. News from the Atlantis war leaked through out the world quickly and the word of the Steel's involvement drove pirates and regular everyday people that wanted a shot at the big life to the Steel Village and every other crew in the war. A remote island deep with in the Grandline, an island once owned by the very village Iken named the crew after was the campsite of the Steel Village crew. On the island the Steel had a large camp set up near a cove where the ships of the might pirate crew were docked. With Iken's crew growing with out him there would he be able to come to a crew with open arms or would someone try for his spot?

Sangjo, 2nd Division commander, was playing his piano on the ship. Without Iken there, some of the crew grew to worry about their beloved captain. News have started to spread about his accomplishments in the war, and although Iken was strong Sangjo saw first hand how presistant the marines could be. In hopes to the Steel village spirits up, Sangjo began to play brinks sake. It was an old song that his former crew loved to sing, and maybe it would come in handy for this occasion.

Yo-hohoho, Yohohohoo,
Yo-hohoho, Yohohohoo,
Yo-hohoho, Yohohohoo,
Yo-hohoho, Yohohohoo,

Gather up all the crew!
Time to ship out Bink's brew!
Sea wind blows to where,
Who knows?
The waves will be our guide!
O'er across the ocean's tide,
The sunset is goin' wild,
See the sky! The birds singing in circles passing by!


Bid farewell to weaver's town!
Say so long to port renowned!
Sing a song, it won't be long, before we're casting off!
Cross the gold and silver waves
Changin' into water sprays!
Sailing out on our journey,
To the ends of the sea!


Gather up all the crew!
Time to ship out Bink's brew!
Pirates we, we'll divide and conquer all the seas!
With the waves to rest our heads,
The ship beneath us as our bed!
Hoisted high up on the mast our jolly roger flies!


Somewhere in the endless sky,
A storm has started comin' by!
Waves are dancing, having fun,
Time to sound the drums!
If we let blow winds of fear, then the end of us is near!
Even so, tomor-row the sun will rise again!


Yo-hohoho, Yo-hohoho,
Yo-hohoho, Yo-hohoho,
Yo-hohoho, Yo-hohoho,
Yo-hohoho, Yo-hohoho,

Walking out of a small box in the cargo hold of a docked ship was a hedgehog, scampering past any guards that might see. It seemed to be looking for something. Insects? Shiny? It was unclear but the hedgehog moved on.

Zero, 2nd Division member, walked out side the Captains Room just to see Sanjo playing his piano. Zero then looked down at his crew mate who was being so merry at a time like this.

"Oi...Sanjo...Shut up you musical bastard..Sheesh.."

First Division commander Kenjiro Nakamura looked slightly annoyed more so then normal. Inhaleing deeply he spoke "We need leadership in a time like this." he said this loudly for the crew to hear. "As first Division commander along with first mate I say untill the captain returns I or another Division commander takes over...And should the event happen that he does not return...Then the man who has been chosen as the captain shall stay in said rank." he said. "The captain must be strong but have a heart. That is what the steel village is about. As such I propose second Division commander Sanjo take the spot of captain. Any objections?" he asked.

Fourth Division Commander Zero D. Angel was siting on a chair near a table and on it there were a cup of tea, he was read a book.
Then he's bird came and landed on his shoulder "I wan't cookie!" it said to Angel and bited him on the ear "Hai hai, here you have" he said then gave a cookie to he's bird.
"I don't really care who's the captain... aslong you don't bother me while im reading." he said then took a sip of he's tea.

The hedgehog scampered into the room with all these people. Right in the middle of everyone it said in a teenage girl's voice "Oi, who's in charge around here?" A talking hedgehog?!

Sangjo almost felt like puching Zero in the throat but held his tongue, and continued to play his piano. When Sangjo heard that Kenjiro proposed he become captain he almost fainted. He quickly had to have a drink.

"What?! Me?! Kenjiro lets not think about that. Iken will come back, so there is no need to find a replacement. We just need to have faith. Besides you are 1st commander. Its your duty to run things while the captain is away."

Sangjo heard Commander Zero D. Angel complaining about the noise.

"How the hell can you just sit there reading?! Aren't you worried about Iken at all or this crew for that matter?"

Sangjo got the glass of wine sitting on top of his piano. He began taking heavy gulps from it. The last crew that asked him to become captain had died because of cowardice to step up. He was not going to carry the burden again. If steel would need another captain it will not be him.

An orange tabby cat edged into the room not long after the hedgehog, staggering about lazily. It plopped itself next to the hedgehog, watching it with a half opened eye. In short order the cat made a swipe for the hedgehog, apparently intending to bat it about like a ball of yarn.

''do you also know other songs Sangjo''
the voice came from the back of the ship.
a stranger to the crew(for some of them) walked to Sangjo whit a big smile on its face.
''i was thinking:why not take a look at that sangjo who made a name for himself''
the guy seemed cheery.
''dont remember me,its me youri d. mountain''
youri could not stop from laughing.

The hedgehog pointed the grain of its spines towards the cat's paws as he swiped. "Hey! I'm kinda talkin' over here!"

The cat stopped centimeters from stabbing his paw on the hedgehog's spines... and then shifted to right in front of the hedgehog. The cat looked directly into the hedgehog's eyes, and then: meowed.

The hedgehog had a sort of apathetic stare as it made a hedgeh sniffle. "Really, I need to talk to someone.

The cat made a sort of sigh, before coming back with a whispered, "If I talk to you, will you shut up for a little while?" The cat crossed his paws before him and stretched out on the ground.

Becky sighed. "I need to talk to the brass. Whatever." POOF! The hedgehog turned into a teenage girl, thin with an hourglass figure, curved in the right areas a pretty face and long unruly hair, legs spread bent low in a football player position. "Now, I'll say it again: WHO THE HELL IS IN CHARGE?!"

Barghest Grigori sighed a loud sigh, revealing himself to the group in the process. "There's no point in yelling. We don't know who's in charge right now. Captain Iken isn't here. We need him. Until he's here, the crew has elected to vote for a substitute captain... enough exposition. I vote we do not elect a replacement captain. How can we lose faith in captain Iken?" Barghest was slightly nervous about the aura he gave off; he had never given a speech before and now he thrusted himself into a debate. He scratched his head and leaned up against a wall, trying as hard as he could not to acknowledge the talking cat while still noting its presence. What a peculiar crew... how had Barghest known so little of the quirks Steel Village had when it was his job as the division commander of the secret fifth division to know what the Steel Village needed to know?

youri saw the strong and determent aura that came from Barghest.
''right behind you commander''
youri walked to Barghest and was standing next to him.
''whats the plan?''

Angel sighed and closed the book, and stood up and went to the teen girl and putted he's hand on her head
-Take it easy kid, geez all do you all really need to be so damn worried? All we need to do is to take it easy, and plan what were going to do next, got it all?
Said Angel then wen't back on he's on he's chair then satt down on his chair and took up his cup of tea
- I just say if you really miss Iken that mutch why don't we just go and find him?
He said, and patted his bird Sakura.

"I have not lost faith in Iken-san. It is a logical thing to do we need leadership and a captain shall give that." he said before turning to Sanjo "The captain needs a willing heart that has mercy. I don't show mercy and if I do there is something very wrong with me." he said with a dead look in his eyes.

The girl stood up with a hand on her hip. "The replacement cap'n doesn't need to be permanent, until if the guy doesn't come back. 'Ya need someone in charge."

Sangjo took another a drink of wine from his glass. He really didn't want the responsibility of taking the crew. If he screwed up then everyone will blame him. That was not going to happen. Sango looked at the 1st commander.

"I said I'm not becoming vice captain! You become captain 1st commander or let the other commanders take over."

Then he saw the hedgehog turned into a young hot woman. Sangjo eyes were replaced with pink hearts as fell head over heels with the girl. He ran over to the girl completely ingoring the serious situation.

"Ooolala la you're an amazing girl. The sun's light has nothing on your radiant beauty which light up my heart. Oh please baby allow me the honor of buy you a drink?"

"Fine then...Which one of you can make defences for the ship? We're stopping at the nearest island with people on it,Taking what we need and killing all who get in our way. We'll take any materials we need use them to make weapons for the crew,for the ship and to make the ship even stronger." he said before walking over to Sangjo and attempting to slap him behind the head. "If I'm running this crew you're getting you're mind out of gutter for now Sangjo. I am not like Iken and I won't accept anything but the best from you all." he said with an ice cold stare.

youri watched amused,but noticed a beeping sound coming from his pocket.
he looked surprised as it was an den den mushi.
''hello?.hmm so it started huh?alright i will be there as soon as possible.''
''excuse me i have work to do''
after saying that youri left the ship.

The girl still felt ignored. "Can I get a job with 'ya? That's kinda why I'm here..."

youri looked at the girl.
''alright then come whit me,we will see what you can do.''
''dont slow me down''he said whit a smile on its face.
