Serious: Consumption Crew Chapter 2: Accidents & Bloody Teeth

[A few hours had passed since Drago & Takashi had climbed aboard the ship and hidden in these barrels but it seemed the next island really wasn't that far away.]

Drago & Takashi

As the ship both Drago & Takashi stowingaway aboard Drago felt his head smack into the side of the barrel and was rudely awoken, he could feel himself being thrown around in the barrel and didn't like it but definitely knew when he was placed back on the floor as he smacked his head into the roof of the barrel with his head. "Ow he muttered as he had been placed upside down and was resting on his head in the barrel. He hated being thrown around inside this bloody barrel and wanted to break out of it but it would be safer to wait till these men left.

As Drago sat in his barrel he all the sudden felt something hit the barrel harder from the top and his head hurt and ached he hated this and tried figuring out what it might have been but he couldn't sit here for long like this. It really wasn't helping any longer and he would have to burst out of here.

Drago & Takashi's barrel had been lifted and carried outside and rolled down to the ground via a walkway. As both barrels were rolled down they were both sat up and sat on by members of the crew as they began playing cards and drinking.

Murii

Sitting at temple also known as the Piranha Pirates hideout a blonde woman sat on the throne carved out of rocks years ago by ancient civilisations, the woman was sitting on the throne waiting for her leader to return from the sea as he had stripped off and was swimming in the sea near by catching tea. As the woman sat in the throne with her legs dangling over the arm of the chair she looked at a little ginger woman with freckles and glasses and yawned then said to her.

"Murii, be a good girl and go into town and get Bruce he should be at the supply shop, he's always there buying something new or making something new. You know what he's like with his inventions and gizmo's. Oh and take Bam with you for protection, since you never fight anyone. Sometimes I don't even know why we have you around. Maybe its for things like this, anyway off you go Murii and pick me up some harpoons from the docks. I'm running low on them."

The woman picked up her harpoon gun from her side and fired on toward's Murii's feet as a warning shot and continued.

"You see that's the only one I have left. And if you don't get me any more then I guess your fate will be the same as that little frogs which is sat between your feet right now gasping for breath.
Down between Murii's feet a little green frog had been impaled to the ground by one of this woman's harpoons and it was quickly dying loosing blood and its life soon after left it body leaving a corpse behind.

"Bam hunny!!!" called out the woman as she did a large hulking beast entered from the shadows standing before Murii and the woman he was bulging with muscles and gazing down at Murii and the woman. He simply shrugged his shoulders not saying anything then exhaled loudly.

"Go with Murii won't you dear."

Bam nodded his head slowly numerous times and walked towards Murii with the ground breaking slightly beneath his feet he towered over both the woman in the throne and Murii. His chains on his hands rang as he walked. Each step the ground shook a little and sent fear into people and down their spines, including his own crew at times.

Murii looked at Bianca. Even if Murii didn't want to listen to Bianca or go down to town to get Bruce she always did what they wanted, she was to scared to do anything else. They could kill her in just a second. Murii then saw how Bianca picked up her harpoon gun and pulled the trigger. Murii put her hands over her face and screamd. She was so afraid of guns and really hated them. After a while she removed her hands and looked around, didn't she just shot her? She then saw the frog between her feets.

Murii took a deep breath and then looked at Bianca, Murii nodded to show Bianca that she had gotten the message. Murri then looked down on the frog once again, she really did feel sorry for that frog, but she knew that there was nothing she could do to help it. Murii then heard how Bianca called for Bam. Murii could hear how Bam came closer and the ground shook a little. Murii looked up at Bam with a scared look. She would never be a free woman again Murii asked her self.

Murii stood up and looked at Bianca and then at Bam. She started to walk down the road. She knew that she could have a chance of escaping but she just was to scared of the Piranha pirates. She looked around on the tree's and the hills, she just wanted to walk over to them and just be free, like the old times!

After rudely being awakened by being dumped on his head and then rolled around, Takashi wan't in the best of moods. He was having a good dream when all of this started to happen. He wondered if it would just be easier to break and but he wouldn't do that until Drago did.

I wonder what are next adventure will be like he thought to himself. Maybe they would find a new friend or they might even get a bounty. Thinking about this made him realize how much his life has changed since joining with this odd fellow. He would probably stay with him as long as he didn't swallow him whole

Drago & Takashi

Feeling his body weight pushing down on himself Drago couldn't bare it anymore his neck was aching and he could't remain like this any longer. Opening his mouth Drago ate up the barrel hole from the inside out and as the barrel disappeared into his mouth which was widely open the man sitting on it also fell down into his mouth. Drago swallowed it all whole and was left standing in the spot the man had been sitting. He looked around at the 3 men around the make shift table.

They all looked back through eyes of surprise and annoyance till one of them mentioned.

"That barrel was full of apples."

"Yeah it was, they were really nice too thanks." replied Drago smiling.

the three men stood up one gripped a chain and began swinging it around while the other two cracked their knuckles. Opening his mouth Drago launched his whip tongue out and grabbed the end of the chain which he threw at one of the other men who was cracking his knuckles.

The man who got hit in the face by the chain stumbled to the side holding his jaw since the chain was thick. As the other man with fists came at him Drago wrapped his tongue around the man's neck. The man wasn't ready for the attack and found himself getting dragged down to the ground face first.

The man with the chain swung it down at Drago's face, he saw it when it was too late to avoid and simply opened wide hoping he could swallow it. As the chain came down he began sucking on the chain as the man clenched it tightly.

It was like a tug of war as Drago sucked on the chain and the other man pulled as hard as he could.
The man who'd been hit in the face walked back towards Drago angrily to swing his fist when Drago turned his head quickly to the left and stopped sucking on the chain.

The chain was spat out to the left and hit the man walking in the stomach and let the other man holding the chain fall backwards.

With these men in pain but not yet beaten Drago walked over to the other barrels and banged on the first one.

"Takashi, get out here." he pulled the lid off and looked inside. "oops not this one."

Drago walked to another barrel then another and kept opening barrels which Takashi wasn't hiding in.

Murii

As Murii walked dreaming of freedom Bam the human crushed walked along side her.

[Introduction Box]
Bam Pott
Body Guard of the Piranha Pirates

8,000,800 Beli

Bam pot stood 8 foot tall with huge muscles which where so grossly oversized his veins where practically popping out. The only clothing he wore was a pair of tight black shorts and a dog collar around his neck made from sea stone which had another chain hanging from it. He was like a huge muscle bound pet in a way. From his legs to his head his neck arms and everything where hugely out of the ordinary. Along his right arm he had a long thick chain wrapped around it with a big razor sharp key attached to the end of the chain as for the other hand it was a large lock.

Everyone who'd ever seen Bam's strength would know he wasn't a person to mess around with. He never spoke, never reasoned and hated the slightest insult as long as he understood it.

Walking along side the little pretty Murii Bam grunted as it was all that was in his vocabulary.

Stomping through the trees little trees fell from his powerful stomps and bigger ones he pushed over due to hatred of them not kneeling before his mighty presence.

As they reached the dusty streets, people parted like the red sea as he stomped on down the streets and walked among the normal citizens alongside his crew mate hostage, Murii. His orders where to protect her no matter what and he would do so happily.

Murii's peaceful dreams didn't last long, Bam's fot steps made the ground to move and the steps also made quite some noise. Murii just wanted to sscream at him for being so loud but she knew she would end up dead that way so she shut her mouth. Murii saw how the tree's was falling and she was afraid that one of the tree's would hit her and smash her. Murii and Bam had now reached the streets. And it went like it always did. People looked at Bam with a scared face and then looked at Murii. It was quite annoying, Murii didn't like all this attention she got when she was with Bam. Murii looked around and looked for Bruce. Murii saw how the kids were walikng down the road and she smiled a little, I remember when I could do that she thought to her self.

Murii was more depressed today then normaly. She really just was in a bad mood, she looked up on the sky. "Oh that's jsut perfect! It's gonna rain! Bam let's hurry up a bit, it's gonna rain quite soon and we have to get to the shore too." Murii looked up at Bam but she wasen't even sure that he had heard what she said but that woulden't be so weird, even Bam had to have trouble to hear anything when his walking! Murii saw how the got closer to the shop that bruce often was in. She opend the door and looked around, searching for Bruce.

Takashi popped out of his barrel and watched as his friend decimated the people that were looking for their apples. Every time he saw his devil fruit he was always in awe as to what he could do with it. He looked around and realized that nobody had noticed him yet. He approached a man who wasn't paying attention and hit him with the blunt side of his sword.

As he was doing this Drago was calling for him. Deciding to finally make his appearance known he drew both of his swords and charged in cutting two enemies down before they knew what had happened. This drew the attention of his opponents and quickly three people approached. One with a sword another with a gun and the last had his hands wrapped.

The gun was aimed at him and he had to improvise. He ducked down as the first shot was fired and he barely dodged it. He then charged at his opponents while the man aimed again. He dove to the right to dodge the second shot and he was in range of the swordsman now.

The man was swinging wildly and he had power, but he lacked skill. The man tried an overhead slash and Takashi sidestepped to the right ended his pitiful life by cutting his throat.

"How did we become so popular so quick Drago." He said grinning

Drago & Takashi

Seeing Takashi behind him Drago noticed Takashi had gotten out and beaten the rest of the men. As he was asked when they became so popular Drago looked from left to right at the men on the ground and shrugged.

"Beats me, lets get into town and look for some food I don't know about you but I'm hungry." Beginning his descent down the hill into town Drago sighed it was a long walk but he knew he had to go down here if he wanted food.

"So Takashi what you in the mood for?" Drago felt his stomach grumble and wondered what the best thing was to shut up this rumbling. Drago didn't have any money and hopped Takashi did otherwise it would be a dine and dash. He was fine with doing so but would rather not if he could manage to avoid it.

Murii

As Bam walked along side Murii looking at the people spreading he noticed the glares and shook his head. He was used to being stared at but didn't like it at all. He gripped his chains tightly as he saw a Marine standing in the way in front of them both not moving. Bam moved towards him quickly standing in front of Murii.

The Marine raised his hand and called out.
"Stop, you are to be arrested now and if you refuse you will have to deal with consequences." The Marine gulped looking up at the hulking creature. He was terrified and everyone in the town could feel his fear. They thought he was mad and weren't enviousness in the least.

Bam took a stance up and swung the massive lock around over his head around and around in circles the Marine below gulped again as he saw the lock swing down in a sweeping to hit him. The Marine ducked down just narrowly avoiding the lock.

As the lock missed the Marine stood back up quickly and fired a few bullets at Bam. Being as big as he was he couldn't really avoid the bullets and instead he simply pulled his lock back in front of himself to block the oncoming bullets.

As they bullets where impaled into the lock Bam launched his large key at the marine and since it was razor sharp and such an unexpected attack the key sliced straight into the Marine's chest. He fell backwards screaming in pain with the key through him. As Bam picked up his key the Marine corpse was still hanging to it.

Murii looked at the marine with a strange look. She could see the fear in his eyes, she wanted to help him but it was over for him. She could hear how the marine talked to Bam, Murii just looked at all the people. THey looked so scared. Murii took a step back becuse she knew that Bam was gonna fight that Marine and Murii knew who was going to win the fight, no one could beat Bam Murii thought to her self. Suddenly the marine picks up his gun, Murii looks at the gun with a scared face. she puts her hands over her face. She knew a few bulelts woulden't beat Bam but she just feard the gun so much! After the sounds of a few shots being fired Murii looked up. Bam was about to get his key, now it's over Murii thought. She saw how the key hit the marine in the chest, Murii looked away. She had seen it a thousend times but it was still so horibble! Murii looked at the people around her, Bam and the dead marine... They coulden't stop to look at them. Murii just looked up on Bam and said " Please Bam! Let's get moving!"

After cleaning his blade off Takashi looked at his companion as he asked him if he was hungry. "Starving." he replied as they began the long decent down the hill. "I don't care what we eat and I only have enough money for about one more meal anyway." He said looking at his nearly empty pocket. He could most likely pay for his and Dragos meal and then they would be broke.

He looked over at Drago and remembered that he could eat anything. Hopefully he isn't to expensive he thought. "So what are your plans for the future Drago, how do you plan on making money." Takashi asked as he glanced over.

Drago & Takashi

"Making money? I'm a pirate, I take things."

Drago laughed, he saw that the bottom of this walk down hill was coming to an end, he was grateful to see it coming to an end and as he looked into town he could see a huge person standing in the middle of town wearing only black shorts and covered in chains.

Noticing the ginger haired girl beside the huge guy he looked up at the man then back at the girl. She didn't look to happy to be with him and he seemed rather violent judging from the bloody key he had which was huge.

"Wow thats a pretty big guy I wouldn't want to be up against him."

As Bam peeled the Marine from his key he dropped the body on the ground. Looking at the corpse Drago sighed and shook his head.

"Rather you than me buddy." He said to the corpse. As he stood back up he looked at Drago and said.

"Right well Takashi since you don't have much money you can go down there and find somewhere to find some food and I can go find something to eat down this way. I'll eat anything anyway." Drago smiled largely, exposing his teeth, then headed off down to the left of town.

Drago

As he headed down to the left of town he saw many people look at himself as he hadn't been so shocked at the site of Bam. It was understandable but Drago didn't care too much since he had seen weirder things in his life. Heading into a pub he looked from left to right and saw it was fairly full, the furniture was classic and wooden and their where 3 round tables one one side with 4 chairs to each table and in the middle there was a long table being set up with 5 chairs.

Drago was curious what was going on here and walked up to the bar, he stood at the bar and waited for the barman to come to him. A few seconds later he sighed and walked over to Drago sighing.

[Introduction Box]
Samuel Makiins

Bartender
0 Beli

"Whats your poison?" he asked in a gruff tone.

Drago looked at the man's beer belly and looked him in the eye and asked.

"How much is a meal here?"

"If its food your after, why don't you join in our eating competition?" Samuel reached behind him for a poster and slid it over the bar to Drago.

"Eating competition you say?" raising an eye brow he smiled and nodded.

"Okay, I'll enter it. When's it start and what's first prize?"

"First prize is a small boat and 1,000 Beli its starts in about, oh I'd say 10 minutes. But you have to eat everything which is served, not allowed to throw up unless you eat or drink your puke and each round has a time limit. We don't want to be here forever so if you haven't eaten everything in under half an hour your disqualified."

"What if 2 people eat all of the food?" asked Drago curious, he knew he could and would win and highly doubted he would lose due to his munch munch powers. With this devil fruit he could eat absolutely anything he wanted.

"In the situation of a stale mate the other contender picks the food for the opponent to eat. If the other person can't handle it the person who picked the food must eat it. If they fail then no one wins. So you up for it?"

"Sign me up. I think I can handle this challenge."

Samuel nodded smiling he doubted this kid could eat all 13 rounds of food, not many people had managed to get past the 7th.

"Whats your name?"

"Drago. Drago D. Mite." smiled Drago as he took a seat at the long table directly in the middle. He picked up a bib and placed it around his neck, he didn't want to get his clothes dirty so as ridiculous as he did look he was happy wearing it.

Takashi

Where Takashi was left in the town centre near the huge human muscular creature which could be spoken of as a human a young child rushed up to Takashi fascinated with his swords which could be seen a mile off. The little kid was 4 ft tall and has scruffy black hair and grey eyes, with tanned skin and wearing a black and white striped shirt, green shorts and sandals. The kid was gazing at the swords and asked.

"Hey Mister can I see your sword?"

Murii

Bam looked at the unhappy Murii and nodded. He didn't like upsetting her but it seemed it was in his nature to do so. As they continued along the path to the mechanics store Bam stood outside and pointed inside the door and grunted hinting Bruce was in the store.

He sat down on the ground it shook a little and as his lock hit the ground the ground shook once more only a little gentler this time. As he sat down and looked into the store he looked upset. He picked up his key and began wiping the blood off on his shorts.

As Murii and Bam walked down the road she realized something. Even if she really hated The Piranha Pirates, Bam was easily the one she liked msot of them all. He wasen't so loud if you didn't count his footsteeps. Murii looked at Bam and smiled, that bad mood Murii had before was now gone, it felt like it was gonna be one of those "not so bad days". Murii then saw the store and walked at it, she put her hand in the air to show him to stay outside and wait.

Murii started to walk to the door when the ground shook a little she had a hard time to keep her balance but she didn't fall. She looked at Bam with an annoyed face she then opened the door and stepped in to the sore, she looked around looking for Bruce.It didn't take long to find him. She started to walk at him and then she said "Bruce it's time to go" with a low voice.

Being a pirate. The thought never really occurred to him. Plundering the high seas and travailing all over the place could be fun. As he was thinking about this Drago said he was going to find something to eat because he could eat anything. He smiled at this because he knew it was true. Eating bullets and walls were nothing to this guy. Drago flashed his teeth and was off.

As he approached the town center he made sure to avoid the monster in the middle. He looked like he was the size of a small house. He looked even smaller because he was standing next to such a small person.

Once he reached the center a small tan kid ran up to him with an eager look on his face.

"Hey mister can I see your sword." he asked. Takashi looked at him and replied, "These are a little too dangerous." He tried to walk past the little boy but he just kept asking. He was even grabbing on to his Kimono.
Finally he broke down, "Ok you can hold one if you lead me to a good place to eat."

The boys face lit up and he grabbed his hand and led him down the street. They came across a small place and they walked in. It was an older place with an old wrinkly lady at the front desk.
"Come in what can I get for ya?" she asked
He looked over the menu and saw that the boy had disappeared. I wonder where he went he thought

((OOC: Hey Shadow could you please not control other people's NPCs. But since you have made up the old woman at the front desk she is your NPC to control.))

Drago

Waiting at the table for the eating competition to begin he picked up the jug of water and poured himself a drink of water and downed it. He felt his stomach growl and patted it whispering to himself.

"Don't worry just wait a little longer and we'll have us a good meal."

Noticing he was getting a strange look as he rubbed and talking to his stomach Drago realised one of the other competitors had arrived. Offering his hand across the table to the man he looked at him weirdly and rolled his eyes.

[Introduction Box]
Jumper "Spring" Gomffer

Priest & Thief
500 Beli

When this man refused to shake his hand Drago withdrew his hand and continued smiling at the man. The man seemed very reserved of himself and kept his hands together on the table. There was a bowl of fruit sitting in the middle of the table and due to the hungriness which Drago felt he reached forward and grabbed an apple.

Jumper began shaking his head and dipped it.

Drago threw the apple in the air and caught the thing in his mouth and ate it whole then smiled at Jumper, who was shocked to see him eat the whole thing in one.

Looking around Drago saw more and more people turn up but no one sit down at the table. This must've been the crowd they would be getting for the competition.

Takashi

The little boy led Takashi to a cafe which was all olden and decorated with dreams catchers and other naturalistic decorations. The little boy took one of his swords and was very excited to hold a realsword. The boy began swinging the sword around and didn't realise how heavy it was until he had swung the sword. The weight dragged him the direction he'd swung it and he was pulled into the floor.

Luckily the sword was still sheathed and hadn't cut into the floor, he stood up struggling to pick up the sword and turned around to see Takashi was gone. he didn't know where he had gone but didn't mind he was sooo overwhelmed to have a real sword he ran out the door with it and sat down unsheathing it so he could get a look at the actual blade. The little boy could see a huge great big man and recognised him. If he were braver he would try his luck at attacking the huge man but as he was he knew he didn't stand a chance and seeing as this guy was wiping blood from his key he gulped and shook the stupid idea from his head. Running his fingers along the blade he felt an electricity shoot through his finger tips into his body. He had never touched blade and this felt magical. He deeply wanted to use it like a real swordsman.

Murii

As Murii entered the store Bam sat outside looking around and could see that a small child was sitting not too far away on the steps leading into a cafe known as the "Daisy's Sundrops" it was an unusual name but still a nice place to go for a meal. Bam was such a hulking great man he was refused entrance to the majority of places since he would only smash the places to pieces.

He was bored sitting out side waiting for Murii and Bruce but he knew there was nothing else he could do and waited for their return.

In the store a man with purple hair was leaning up against the bar fiddling with a little tool on the desk talking to the store clerk. "And now if I use my devil fruit." The man with purple hair sprouted a propeller in the little device and the next thing they knew the little light bulb on the device began glowing. The little propeller was spinning quickly and the lights began glowing brighter and brighter.

He heard Murii call his name and turned around to look at her she looked as miserable as ever but he didn't care much as she always looked like this, but I guess that was the price you paid when you were forced to join a crew.

[Introduction Box]
Bruce Mayo

Inventor of the Piranha Pirates
0 Beli

"Hey Murii I see you came to get me Bam outside? Bianca send you? Not seen Eli today?"

Bruce was a rather clever man and could usually predict things easily. Especially that of his crew mates. He could tell what they were all like except for Murii. She was the one who seemed to be off all the time, the only thing he could ever predict was that everyday she would wake up unhappy and depressed.

(OOC: I never gave my sword to the kid but we will go with it and sorry for taking control of him I didn't know.)

This place felt a little weird but it felt good to him. He was going to go after the kid when he left with his sword but the old lady came over. She had wrinkles on top of wrinkles and wearing an apron that covered the front of her body. She smiled her toothless smile at him and pointed at the menu.

He looked it over and didn't recognize a lot of the food.
"I'll take the duck with some rice please." He said to her while he put the menu into her old hands. He held up one finger at her to tell her he would be back in a moment.

He felt the cool breeze hit him as he walked walked out. He approached the little kid as he was holding the blade.
"I got that one from my dad." He said as he touched the blade.
"If you want I could spar with you until my food gets done."

Murii started to walk forwards Bruce, she could easily spot him due his purple hair. She could only see his back but she knew that he was working on some new invention of his, he always did. Murii didn't really get this guy, he had a devil fruit and had chosen to become a pirate... If Murii had a chance not to be one the 7 sea's she would absoultly stay on land. Murii didn't really like to be at sea all to uch, she was afraid that she would fall into the water or even worse, get thrown into the water... As the Bruce turned his head he looked at her, Murii didn't like Bruce all to much, he was really smart.. The smartest one in the crew and he had this "gift" to predict stuff. Murii had a hard time trusting anybody but with Bruce it wasen't just hard it was impossible! She looked at him not smiling, she never did when she was around those pirates... She haden't smiled for real in a long time, she didn't have any reson to smile.. She was a hostage and she was forced to go out to sea with a bunch of pirates. But Murii was happy she was even alive. Murii looked at Bruce trying not to show any sign of emotions.

"Yea, Bianca sent me. She wanteeed me to get you, but hurry up, we have to get to the shore too and its gonna rain soon.. And no I haven't seen him today." Murii answerd with a low voice. Trying to just get it over with. Murii turned around and started to walk to the door, she then turned again, only her head this time "Are you coming?" Asked Murii with an annoyed face. She then turned around her head and went out the door.

Drago

As the doors to the pub were knocked open the sweet smell of bacon, eggs, and various other foods escaped the pub. Drago could smell the food being cooked in the kitchen and it made him smile he tried guessing what food was awaiting him and his fellow competitors.

Walking in through the door and taking a seat beside Drago was another man.

[Introduction Box]
Cyril "Blob" Kymantow

Retired (Former Black Smith)
0 Beli

The man who sat beside Drago stank of something strong and horrible, it had a warm strong stench to it something Drago couldn't ignore and didn't show any subtleness to it either.

"Phow! You stink!" he blurted out in the man's face.

"Thats the smell of man." the large round tubby man replied sniffing at his stained arm pitts. He offered Drago his hand and spoke.
"Cyril Kymantow, ppleasure to meet you sonny boy."

Jumper was still sitting holding his hands, he looked at Cyril and rolled his eyes whilst a smirk grew across his face.

Drago shook Cyril's sweaty hand and held his nose, this guy stunk of something fierce and he wasn't going to be able to stay beside him and eat.

"I'm Drago nice to meet you." he replied before moving to the next seat away from Cyril. As he sat down another man walked through the doors and sat down next to Jumper.

[Introduction Box]
Molly Cross

Shipwright
0 Beli

Molly was unusually muscular for a woman and seemed to have a rough feeling about her. She sat down beside Jumper and looked at him and rolled her own eyes. Cyril reached over to her introducing himself.
"Ello love, I'm Cyril and you are?" he spat as he spoke and offered her his hand.

Molly looked at his hand in disgust and replied,

"Not interested." Jumper laughed as the doors from the kitchen opened and out walked Samuel who rang a bell.

"Right If everyone is seated here comes the first course. A full English breakfast."

2 cooks walked down each side of the table laying down a plate to each person sitting followed by a smaller plate with 3 slices of toast on it.

"And you may begin." As the other contenders around the table began a voice from the door called out loudly.
"Hang on!"

The audience all turned as did most of the contenders, all except Drago who had already swallowed hole 2 mushrooms and all the toast.

[Introduction Box]
Eli Etheral "Piranha"

Captain of the Piranha Pirates
10,000,000 Beli

Drago looked up from his plate at the man who'd entered and asked the woman next to him.
"Whose he?"

Takashi

The little boy's eyes lit up hearing the man offer to spar with him and he was lost for words for a moment till he finally felt the saliva dribbling from his mouth. He wiped his mouth and nodded.

"YES PLEASE! THAT WOULD BE SOOO COOL" The boy handed thr sword back to Takashi. He was so excited to hear he would spar with him and felt a little feared of getting cut and made it clear to Takashi.

"Please don't cut me though, I'm scared of getting hurt, and if my mum sees me come home with cuts and bruises again she'll think I was bullied again." The child's face dropped as he remembered other days when he was bullied.

"But now that your gonna teach me to fight I can kick their asses." his upset subsided quickly at the thought of learning to fight. He was like allot of kids in the village despite the fact of getting picked on and bullied.

Murii

Bruce nodded to Murii.
"yea, yea I'm coming freckles, keep your head on." Slipped a few tools and other items into his satchel Bruce headed out the door a head of Murii and saw Bam sitting there.

"Hey Bam you big ape how are you?
Bam shrugged his shoulders and got to his feet rumbling the ground a little as he did so.
"Good then?" Bruce asked.
Bam nodded then sighed.

As he was tall and strong Bruce usually used him for transport as he was lazy and felt too proud to walk among the normal people. Using his devil fruit Bruce sprouted a propeller from his hands and guided himself up into the air. He lowered himself down on to Bam's shoulder and sat there beside his head.

"Come along Murii you don't want to be late Bianca obviously needs me for something and I can't do my work without my little helper monkey there to give me a hand."

Bruce smirked at his own remarks. Other people in town could hear him and what he was saying but were too fearful to do anything while Bam was around. As Bam walked off down the street people once again parted Bruce looked to the side to see a small child talking to a swordsman.

Murii looked at Bruce with an angry face... "freckles?" She said quiet... Murii saw how Bruce went out before her and she started to walk a little faster, Bianca didn't like to wait and Murii didn't want to travel in the rain, not with those two. As Murii stepped out of the building she watched Bruce flying up on Bam's shoulder's, Gawd, what a creppy devil fruit. Murii thought to her self, but she actually didn't know much at all about devil fruit's... She had seen a bunch of diffrent devilfruits on her trip with these pirates and those were really creepy! But she had heard about other devil fruits that were way more creppy! That was another reason Murii didn't trust Bruce at all, he had a freaking devil fruit, just like her... "Don't forget that we have to go to the dock too, Bianca wanted some harpoons. She won't be so happy if we come back without them..." Murii said. As Murii had climbed up Bam's shoulder's she thought... Is this how it's always gonna be? Me getting Bruce from this store...?". As Bam walked Bruce seemed to look at something, Murii turned her head to look at it.. It was only a swordsman talking to a child. Murii had Instantly lost interest for the swordsman and the child. Murii looked up in the sky, gawd I don't want to be out here when the rain starts to fall, my body dosen't stand rain all to well... Murii thought to her self.. She didn't say anything to Bruce or Bam because she was sure that they already knew that, the real question was did they care about it?

Watching the little kid get so excited reminded him of his younger self.
"The first thing I have to teach you is how to properly hold the sword." he walked over to him and put his hands in the correct position. He walked back and smiled at the kid.

"Now come at me with all you've got." as he awaited the kid to come at him, he noticed a strange group of people walking down the street. The large man from earlier had a man with purple hair on his back. Also the small girl from earlier was there and she didn't look the least bit happy.
He was curious as to who they were and where they were going but he was interrupted by the old lady coming back out and holding up 5 fingers at him. He took this as a sign that his food had 5 minutes left or that she really wanted a high 5, either way he nodded at her and she went back inside

Drago

Taking the seat beside Drago and Cyril the man who had entered late was mentioned by name when Samuel said.

"Eli Etheral, always late. Welcome sir heres your first course." Samuel laid down the plate in front of Eli and he grinned looking down at it then began shovelling food into his mouth. All the other contenders moved away from him all except Drago who reached over smiling with a mouthful of food and said.

"Hi I'm Drago and I look forward to beating you in this competition." Eli ignored the handshake and swallowed the bacon.
"Don't be so sure your gonna to be me kid. I'm a cannibal and can eat anything."
Drago nodded and replied.
"Well I guess that makes two of us." he picked up the plate and opened his mouth wide and let all the food on his plate slide down into his mouth finishing it in a few seconds.

The audience were shocked and moved away from Drago in fear at his weird mouth which opened more than humanly possible. The other contenders ignored Drago trying to focus on finishing their meals in time.

Cyril was next to push his plate away followed by Molly, Eli and lastly was Jumper.

"Right ladies and gentleman seems all of our competitors are still standing and looking absolutely fine after round 1. I guess that means its time for round number 2." Flipping a little sigh over it said Round 2 and the cooks began placing more food down on plates in front of everyone.

"Round number 2 is Lasagne." Looking down at the food Cyril began licking his lips as the rest looked at it a little displeased including Drago.

Takashi

The little boy nodded to Takashi and after Takashi helped him grip the sword better and was told to attack him with everything he had he said to Takashi.
"Should I unsheath it?" He looked up to see he was busy talking to the old woman inside and figured he would attack anyway as it was rude to interrupt adults talking.

Clutching the heavy sheathed sword the little boy brought the sword back over his shoulder and began stumbling backwards due to the weight till he began trying to swing it forward and charged at Takashi whilst he was still talking. As he brought the sword down with all of his strength he found that he was going to go flying too but he also realised that he couldn't stop what was now an unsheathed sword travelling towards Takashi's chest.

When he's swung backwards the sheath had flown off and shot away like a bullet away from the boy and towards the large man who was removing Murii from his shoulder. He didn't like carrying people who he didn't fear on his shoulders and Murii was probably the most un-threatening person he'd ever met.

Murii

Bam wrapped his hand around Murii and carefully placed her down on the ground. Bruce looked at Murii being placed on the ground and said to her in a proud tone.

"Murii you should know your place by now, and its not up here with people like me." As he said this pointing to himself as he felt he was obviously more important than a chore girl.

The sheath of the Takashi's sword made contact with Burce's head and knocked him clear off of Banm's shoulder on to the ground. He landed on his back and jumped back up to his feet quickly screaming at the child.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING YOU LITTLE S**T THAT HURT! BAM GET HIM!" Bam looked at the large bump growing on Brice's head and began to chuckle a little before he saw Bruce's incredibly angry face and the vein on his forehead popping out.

Bam walked towards Takashi and the little child and reached out to grab the little child. If he tried anything then he would have to get violent despite how much he really didn't want to. he was the body guard of his crew and if this meant harming children he would do it as it was an order and Bam followed every order no matter what.

As he finished talking to the old lady he saw the young tan boy try to charge at him. He looked like a drunken fool, he almost fell over and then on accident he threw the sheathe off of it and it hit the purple headed man in the head. The kid charged and his attack was extremely weak and slow, all he had to do was sidestep it to his right. He was going to laugh about it until the man started to yell.

So Bam was the big fellas name. he slowly walked over and reached for the little kid. It was a good thing Takashi was ready for something like this though. He grabbed the kid and pushed him behind him.
"GET OUT OF HERE NOW!" He yelled back at him while drawing his smaller jagged edged sword. He stood between him and the giant and tried to figure out a way out of this.

"Trying to hurt a kid because of an accident, that seems a little pitiful." Takashi said directing his insult at the purple headed man on the ground.
"Not fighting your own battles either. You must be pretty weak." He was trying to rattle him because he would way rather fight him than this giant beast in front of him

Murii feelt how Bam took a grip of her waste and put her on the ground, well it was worth a try I guess Murii said and lifted her shoulders a little. She looked up at Bruce noticing that he was talking to her, Murii wasen't all to happy about what Bruce said.. She felt like she was worth nothing, but she had felt like that for a while now. But it was true, the only thing she could do properly was to navigate... Murri then saw how something hit Bam, she turned her head and spotted the child and the swordsman. Why would they attack Bam? Are they stupid or something?! Murii thought to her self. She watched the child, she felt so soory for him but there was nothing she could do... Actually she coulden't do anything...

She couldn't save the frog, she couldn't save the marine and now she would have to see a child die? No I can't watch this Murii said and turned her head, suddenly she hears a voice. It's a voice of a young man, Murii thinks. She turns her head slowly in fear and looks at the child, not far a way the swordsman stands. She looks at the swordsman and she felt something she haden't felt in a long time... Hope! Maybe that child was actually gonna survive. She didn't smile on the out side but on the inside she just wanted to scream GO SWORDSMAN, GO! But then reality hit her, there was no way, just no way that one single sswordsman could beat Bam and Bruce! They were pirates, strong pirates and they had a devil fruit. Murii's slight feeling of hope just disappeared in a flash. All that joy she had felt, just for a second disappeared...

Murii couldn't stand the thought of watching the child and the swordsman die so she did something she never ever thought she was gonna do. "Bruce, Bam just leave those idiots alone, let's keep on moving.. Bianca want your help remember?". Murii tried to sound selfconfident but the truth was that she was terrified. She just looked Bruce in the eye's and hoped for the best!

Drago

As Cyril chomped away nosily and loudly at the food the others slowly tried bits trying to make sure it wasn't something poisonous or toxic. Molly took a large bite out of it and after swallowing it she realised it wasn't too bad and finished it quickly then washed it down with a whole glass of water, Cyril licked the plate clean he enjoyed the horrid dish that much. Jumper ate it in small bites in between sips of water. Like the last meal he didn't seem to be enjoying it, instead he seemed to more likely just accept it as food.

Eli chomped through it quickly trying to swallow the thing whole and as for Drago he sniffed at it drank 2 glasses of water then decided to do as he did with the last meal and slid it from the plate into his mouth.

"Round 3 Round 2 and still no one is showing any signs of weakness so everything is still going good and everyone still strong. Lets see what they think of this round. Its Round 3."

Out from the kitchen the cooks brought some more plates covered and they were laid down before each competitor locking in the smell. Lifting the covers a bowl of chicken noodles awaited their consumption. The smell of which was glorious.

Molly sniffed it up and sucked hers up quickly as she could manage but was too hasty and burnt her lips. Stopping to drink some water she waited a few minutes whilst everyone else blew on theirs and ate it at the normal rate. Drago looked at Eli and figured either him or Cyril would be his biggest opponent.

Jumper once again still looked the same and ate it all up finishing first followed by Cyril, Eli Drago then last but not least Molly.

Takashi & Murii

The boy saw the big guy Bam approaching and when he was pushed behind Takashi for safety he felt fear spread through his entire body. Seeing Takashi shout and tell him to get lost he thought how brave and poked out from behind Takashi shaking his fist trying to be brave like Takashi.

He wanted to grab a sword and attack like a noble hero but didn't think he was strong enough. "Yeah, your a big wimp who can't even fight your own battles!" shouted the kid. He stuck his tongue out then hide back behind Takashi.

As Takashi pushed the kid behind him Bam stopped reaching and heard him shout at him. He paused for a second looking at him then looked at Bruce whose face had turned a bright red. Seeing Murii turned to speak at him and try to stop Bam from attacking the child Bruce shrugged his shoulders.

"Murii, this will take a few minutes and Bianca can wait, or have you forgotten your place here among us?"

Using his devil fruit powers Bruce allowed a propeller to sprout out from Murii's knee and spin quickly. As the propeller spun around quicker & quicker it began picking up strength and tried pushing against Murii's knee trying to snap it backwards whilst also drawing in her clothing.

"As for you swordsman, why do you care about this stupid little kid, he made a mistake and now he will pay for it. Bam!"

Bam swung his lock from the left in a sweeping motion at Takashi and the kid smashing through the patio of the store next door debris & the large lock both flew towards the kid and Takashi. He had his key in his other hand ready to strike with it and watched both Takashi & the kid carefully as he could from his height so he wouldn't lose them.

The little kid was egging them on and that was a horrible idea. This man could probably crush them with one hand. All that he had on him was speed, which was extremely diminished by him having to protect the kid. He looked past the behemoth man named Bam and looked just in time to see a Propeller sprout of the girls leg.

"Great another devil fruit user." He said quietly to himself.
The man with the purple hair yelled at him and was wondering why he cared about the kid so much. Then Bam swung at him in a sweeping motion.
He grabbed the kid and they both hit the dirt. He felt the debris and the wind flow by as the giant lock went overhead.
He picked the kid back up and they dashed to his katana. He turned around as he picked it up and faced the big man again.

"Why are you not running kid?' he said and then looked at Bam
"Why are you working for that Schmuck? You have a lot of power you could easily beat someone like that, yet you take orders from him. Why is that?

Murii just stood there and waited for Bruce answer. As he answer her she wished she had just shut her mouth, even if she thought that Bruce maybe was a little to hard on her he was right... She had a place in the pirate crew, she was the hostage. She was not allowed to forget, or if she did she may end up dead. She looked at Bruce as he looked her. She felt how something was on her knee. She looked down and saw the propeller. "Please Bruce get this thing of me! I'll be a nice girl, just like Bianca told me to be! Please!".

Murii felt how the propeller grew stronger and her knee was hurting more and more, if Bruce didn't stop it her knee was going to snap backwards. Murii looked at the propeller, she couldn't stop it with her hands, it was spinning way to fast! Murii took up a stick, she tried to stop the propeller with the stick but it was no use! The stick broke in just a second. Murii then felt how the propeller started to drag of her clothes. She blushed and puted her hands on her chest in hope of holding on to the clothes but the propeller was so strong!

" Bruce, I'm sorry it won't happen again!" Murii said as she looked down at the ground blushing. She felt a horrible pain in her knee. She looked up at Bruce and spotted the child and the swords man. Why haden't they run away, there was NO chance that they could beat Bam! Murii thought.

Drago

3 rounds later and all the contenders for the prize were still in and not even full yet.

Molly was leaning back on her chair waiting for the next meal, Cyril was sitting forward hunched over licking his empty plate clean, Jumper was sitting patiently with his eyes shut waiting for the next plate Eli was sitting flicking his eyes around from person to person and licking his lips and Drago was watching Eli's eyes. He was curious why he was licking his lips and looking at people around the table.

"Right ladies and gentle man its time for round 6 lets see how our contenders can handle this. Ravioli." The plates were laid before each person and they all tucked in quickly. Half way through Drago's mind remembered hearing Eli was a cannibal and he blurted out loud.
"Your thinking of eating us!"

The audience stopped cheering and the contenders stopped shovelling food down their throats. They all looked at Drago in surprise at his sudden outburst then they looked at Eli who was smiling not denying being a cannibal.

"Whats your point?" he asked looking at the others and winking at Molly who gave him the finger. "Theres nothing wrong with not putting a human body to waste. We are meat ourselves and if human meat is left over for us to feast upon then why shouldn't we indulge?"

No one answered as Eli looked around waiting for an answer till Drago replied.

"Because its sick."

The other contenders continued eating again slowly and indiscreetly trying not to draw attention to themselves.

"So your telling me if it was your only source of nutrients you wouldn't eat human flesh. You wouldn't drink the blood and let it run down your lips. You'd starve yourself would you?"

Molly began coughing at this little description Eli began to give and everyone sat forward in their seats to see if she would puke. She simply paused and continued eating some more.

"Oooh, looks like that could have almost been the end of Molly Cross in this round was it Eli's horrible description or the large quantity of food?" spoke out Samuel loudly.

"Screw off Sam, its just that sick b******d's descriptions." She continued digging into her food.

"Soo Drago would you not dig your teeth into the flesh of another?"

Drago sat thinking as he played with his finger in his food, thinking about what Eli had just said Cyril was the first to spit his food out thinking of what Eli had said, it seemed his speech had been stuck in his brain and caused him to begin to taste flesh & blood in his mouth. Spitting his food out it shot out splattering over the table and Molly.

Cyril wiped his mouth and looked up at everyone smiling through a messy brown grin.
"sorry bout that lovey!"

"Ugh, you disgusting b*****d!" Standing up and reaching over the table Molly grabbed Cyril by the neck and lifted him up despite his weight Molly was strong and now she was also angry.

"Molly you know the rules no fighting at the table. You want to fight take this out side. But consider both yourselves disqualified." said Samuel.

"Fine then I guess we're both out." she said as she dragged Cyril over the table and out of the pub to deal with him as she left she clenched her fists tightly and half of the crowd followed her out to watch.

"Well that went better than I could've expected wouldn't you both say so?" asked Eli smiling at Jumper & Drago.
Jumper looked up through eyes which seemed to say, look at me again and I'll tear your heart out and Drago replied.
"No, no I wouldn't eat a human being. I would rather starve to death."

Takashi & Murii

Bruce stopped the propeller and removed it from Murii's knee then called out to her as he approached her.

"Get on your knees Murii! I'm going to show you your place in this crew right now! Get on your knees. You swordsman, you can shut your mouth, you have no right to try and manipulate my friend Bam here. He won't listen to you, he will only do as I say because he knows the man he is working under can end his life yours and mine just like that."

Clicking his fingers Bruce smirked and that's the moment Bam launched his razor sharp key towards Takashi and the kid who stood up as the lock passed by.

As the lock had passed just over head merely centimetres above them the boy had stood up to run away and began running further uptown to get away from the horrific danger which he'd never experienced but always wanted to now that he was though he was scared beyond belief and wanted no more.

Bam's key was launched right at him and was going to impale his skull if it hit. Seeing Takashi he was prepared to attack him too if he dared try and save the child. Gripped his other chain tightly his veins began to pop out on his forearm.

Bruce smiled watching the debris fall over both Takashi and the kid and as he saw the kid run he laughed and opened his palm sprouting a propeller on the ground to trip up the the child. As the kid fell he was in a prime position for the key to cut him clean in half.
