Serious: Alone...(open to all)

A Sunny Day on the town Of Farada on the Island of Brightplague in the grandline. The island was know widely for producing deadly toxins and plagues from useing rare plants, and experiments.The Inhabitants of the island itself are very proud of there poisons. They are happy to be helping the world government with the war against pirates.Grostugay town develops what they call the Black Plague. Hirasop Town develops toxins that help heal wounds and some that keep wounds from ever healing.Vangrade Makes vile poisons that spread through a humans immune system and paralysis them, and another that instantly infect the blood stream spreading and infecting any foren substance they would like to implant into the body,And finally Farada Town which is near the docks. Buy and sells there poisonous toxins, Makeing sure they are shipped to the marines and world government. Taking orders and sending out packages.Farada was a hearty town with friendly faces. They didnt mind pirates because they would normally test there toxins on pass out drunken pirates. There morality kept them from testing on fellow townsfolk.

Today was a very cloud day.When Vlad walked into town his steps left icy foot prints.He was A Slim pale man who dressed in all black. Black hair combed down to his right side with frosted tips, tucking his hands in his long coat.His clothes were frosted and covered in a little snow.Shivering as he walked through the warm town. frowning with a sad look in his eyes he sighed. " So...cold"

"BORORORORO!"

The sound of thunderous laughter echoed through the street as people stopped and looked with surprise at the enormous man wandering along the cobblestone road. He was laughing heartily to himself, waving his mechanical hand and occasionally breaking into a nonsensical hum before laughing again. He was broad shouldered, powerfully built and a bigger man than almost anyone in the street would ever meet.

Carver Bruce was enjoying himself today, it was a nice day on a nice island in the Grand Line. Today was not a day for worry, for training and for seeking out trouble, it was a day to relax and unwind.

The people in town gave Vlad mystified looks but shook it off. They have seen stranger things than a freezing man in the summer. Passing clothing, supply, weapon and poison shops, Vlad stopped in front of a music store. Picking out well made stings for his guitar and songs music sheets he purchased them at the counter. The man didnt pay no mind to the freeze man. Stepping out he grabbed some supply's and walked into a nice restaurant. sitting down an enchanting waitress came over brushing her long brown hair back she asked. What would you like today mister? Vlad gave her a fake smile saying. 2 Hot mocha's and somthing hot... and spicy um tacos or burritos. Giveing her some berries. She dropped off his mocha while he waited for his order sipping his drink..."Delicious"

The door to the restaurant burst open, and in entered Carver, fighting to fit his large frame through the door. He opted not to sit down, as most chairs couldn't support his weight, but when a slightly worried-looking waitress came over to him, he ordered several giant steaks, and a bowl of the special soup. He was in a most pleasant mood, and seemed to appreciate the man playing a flute at the front of the building, listening with delight.

When the food arrived, Carver scarfed it all down with incredible speed, his giant's hunger yearning for more food.

Vlad Gave the waitress a small smile."Thank you kindly My dear." Finishing His spicy taco's he felt a littler warmer. Sipping on his second Mocha Vlad ordered another hot mocha as he gave the waitress a bag of belli's for a tip. Looking around the Restart. Vlad pulled out his Guitar.
"Guitar style.. smile" Vlad played a wonderfully cheerful song on his guitar. Everyone in the room seemed to be a little happier. But Vlad frowned in distaste His heart wasn't truly into the song he just played. But he did want to thank everyone for there delicious food.. Putting his black guitar away" He frowned as his Mocha froze over. He quickly drank his fresh one and headed for the door.

"BORORORO! Wait!" came a booming command. Carver stood, looking at the small guitar man with intrigue.

"What was that song you played just now? It sounded lovely!" he complimented the man. He noticed a fine mist of condensation swirling around the man, and the frost patterns on his jacket.

A frost logia? he mused to himself. If so, he's new to his power, he can't control it well...

"What is your name, little musician?" Carver asked curiously.

Well thank you very much Sir... my name is Vlad Coldcorpse. May I have your name? Vlad gave Carver an interested look as a cold chill entered the room.

"Heh, my name is Carver Bruce. Ah'm seeing yer having a bit'o trouble controllin' your ice there, Vlad" he advised seriously.

"Now what would an uncontrolled Logia like yerself be doin' wanderin' about a town such as this one, all alone?" he inquired. His big hand came up to scratch the back of his head absently as he wondered about the situation. This could be a chance to make a new friend, a rare opportunity for a person such as himself. Since departing from the full-blooded pirate group he had trained with, Carver had spent his time in the Grand Line alone. All the pirate crews he'd seen so far were not to his taste, not at all.

"Nice to meet your Carver...I can control my powers. but for some reason I can stop being cold."

Vlad didnt want to go into details why he was alone. Attacking a marine base and getting separated. and arriving just in time to see them slaughtered. Wasent a very uplifting topic.

"Well Carver what can I do for you?"

Carver shrugged. He just liked the guy's music, that was all. All of a sudden he looked very awkward and uncomfortable. This always happened when he tried to socialise with someone. Seemingly he wasn't very good at it.

"Nothing really, I just... liked yer music, it was good for the soul. Well, ah, I'll be off then I guess," he muttered, half to himself and half to Vlad. "Yeah, best do that..."

He squeezed his way out of the door and back into the sunny street, and looked around bemusedly. Why was he even bothering? He'd never find anyone to join up with as a crew mate. It was pathetic even to try.

Vlad followed Carver outside.

"Hey Carver Your a pirate right? If so do you know what they do on this island? They supply the marines with all sorts of plagues in order to wipe pirates off the face of the earth..."

With a small smile Vlad said " Want to punish the government dogs with me? Its good exercise?"

Carver turned, looking at Vlad. This man had followed him out and wanted to band with him for an adventure?

Carver's face brightened immediately, and he clenched his metal hand firmly, raising it to the sky.

"A challenge! I don't care about whether they're pirates or whether they're marines, as long as I get a great challenge!" he exclaimed.

Smiling Vlad was happy

"Lets get out of this town and head for Grostugay I hear there developing something called the black plague. That place is like a fortress. They have well trained guards and marines stationed there."

Vlad and carver traveled to the town Grostugay after a day they reached there destination

A fortress of a town, 2 awaken Zoans guarded chained to the main gate.. With a 200 marine sharpshooters on top the gate walls

With a smile Vlad turned to Carver" you ready for this?"

Carver grinned, checking his fitted out Blast Armament to make sure it was all suitable. He leveled it, firing off all 3 rounds in quick succession. The rockets exploded against the top of the gate walls, sending sharpshooters flying from the impact.

"I sure am," he roared as he swapped out his Blast Armament for his Strike Armament. The harpoon glinted dangerously as he aimed it very carefully towards one of the huge Zoan guards. Despite their considerable bulk, a giant hybrid was inevitably going to be bigger still.

He charged in hard, ignoring the bullets striking his flesh, forming an Orb around his good hand, and lunged, tackling the Zoan with all his might. The beast roared, and to its credit was able to resist momentarily before Carver forced it to the ground. His hands began to move rapidly as he pummeled the beast with blunt force attacks from his Orbed fist, and with slashes from his sharp harpoon hand. The Minocrocodile made an inhuman squeal and rolled, managing through its own impressive strength to slip out from under Carver and snap down hard on his Orbed arm. Carver yelled furiously, slashing the Minocrocodile across the eye. As its blood gushed out, Carver recovered himself, checking the situation around himself quickly as he prepared for the Minocrocodile's next attack.

Vald uses "Ice Spears!" 18 of his ice spear hit there mark. Useing Soru to get to the front gate "What the hell its an Awakend mystic zoan?!!!" the Minodragon Slashed at Vlad, But creating a wall of ice dodged his attack as it shattered the ice. While dodging the bullets he pulled out his black guitar.
GUITAR STYLE: EPIC FIGHT SONG!!!!" Everyone on the battle field felt awsome!

Doing a back flip Vlad uses "Ice wave" with his leg while in the air. Freezing the rest of the sharpshooters. 3 bullets hit his left arm.
The Minodragon let loose an incredibly hot flame at Vlad and Carver.

Carver threw up an orb, but not around himself and Vlad, his orb formed around the head of the Minodragon as it breathed fire, filling up the orb with flame and charring its own face. The orb burst and flame spread out, but the damage had already been done. The Minodragon's face was blackened and it stumbled.

Carver was about to charge at the door when all of a sudden the Minocrocodile bit down hard on his shoulder. Carver howled and swung his fist, slamming into the crocodile's face and forcing it to let go.

Seems like these big Zoans recover quicker than normal Zoans! he surmised. He leveled his harpoon hand and fired at point-blank range. The harpoon whizzed past the head of the Crocodile, burying itself into the stone wall, as Carver went around the other side of the Minocrocodile, wrapping the harpoon chain around its neck. He held on tightly to the chain until the Minocrocodile fainted from lack of air, retracting his harpoon finally to swap it out for his Strike Armament.

Not surprised now to see the Minodragon getting back up as its skin quickly healed, Carver gave it a furious uppercut, the blockbuster piledriver hammering upwards into the chin of the Minodragon, shattering its jaw and knocking it out cold.

"Open the gate," Carver commanded of Vlad. He could do so with his Strike Armament, more than likely, but this man had an overpowered Logia fruit at his command, so it would make sense to use it.

Vlad Hurried over to the door and used "Ice Age" freezing the door then punching it shattered into shards of ice clearing the way.
touching the minodragon and Minocrocadile Vlad used

"Ice time" freezeing them into an ice statue. However the Minodragons body heat melted the ice.

The mino dragon slashed at vlad but he quickly dodged. Then The minodragon hurry to his frozen comrade to try and free him.

"Doors Open carver!"

Carver threw up a protective Orb around himself as he swapped out his Strike Armament for his Spin Armament, making sure that all four chains were loaded up correctly. He braced himself as the Orb disappeared and he stepped through the gate, not sure what he'd encounter.

Vlad quickly follow Carver inside. 250 bounty hunting swordsmen charged vlad and Carver. And A Nightmare samurai Laughed at them. His body looked like it was infested with rotting flesh and agony from the plague. you could sense a vast amount of shadows were implanted into him 25 high calber swords men all fused into this Nightmare being. Disappearing and then reappearing next to Vlad He uses Dark Slash. The glowing black Katan tried to decapitate Vlad head clean off. Useing A very thick shield of ice. Vlad escaped with a small cut on his neck. Freezing the blood it stopped bleeding.

Vlad then used "Ice Saber" And parried the NIghtmare mans next attack. the 250 swordsmen attacked Carver at once from all directions

Carver reapplied an Orb around him, giving him a chance to think, though it would not be for long as these swordsmen seemed capable of cutting through steel, which was near the limit of the Orb's endurance.

Carver rapidly formed three orbs around him, one inside the other, to create a three-layered dome. He panted slightly, and he knew that what he was about to attempt would take a lot out of him, but Carver was not confident in his ability to take on 250 swordsmen.

"ORBU ORBU NO BLOW-OUT!" he shouted, as the three layered Orb rapidly expanded, pushing away from him all the swordsmen. The orb expanded quickly enough to smack into each swordsman like a speeding wall, sending some flying and others tumbling to the ground. Several of them were impaled on either their own swords or on the swords of their allies, but the majority were not knocked-out, simply pushed back and thrown off their feet. In the middle of the cleared area, Carver stood, exhaling heavily.

He stumbled into a hard charge, forming up an Orb that floated just in front of him as he charged, bouncing swordsmen off it as he cleared his way through the lessened throng of hunters, breaking through to the other side. Once he was through, he noticed the large number of small gashes, cuts and puncture marks from where swordsmen had managed to get in lucky marks and strikes.

The Nightmare man sliced at Vlads chest with his katana even with his icy armor it left a deep gash down his chest. Useing his icy sword to block the other 2 rapid slashes.

Vlad used "Ice Ball" Shooting it at The Nightmare. The glowing blue ball hit him encasing him in ice ball. The ball started to crack, Running over to help carver finish off the swordsman before the Nightmare samurai broke free out of seer power.

Another man stood in front of a building Another...nightmare thjis one had absorbed 25 marksmen. Also cursed with the black plague he pulled put his twin pistols one of his pistols was a devil fruit weapon. One consumed the bomb bomb fruit.

In a blink of an eye he appear before Carver. Shooting off five shots with his normal pistol and an explosive shot with his other.
Useing his ice Age on the Other swords men. 50 of them jumped off the ground and avoided being frozen to death and attack them both.

Carver tdidn't have time to respond as the bullets peppered his body and the explosion threw him off to the side, smoking heavily. He groaned as he pulled himself up, seeing the Nightmare Marksman take aim again. With a grunt, Carver manifested two small Orbs inside the barrels of the pistols as the Nightmare fired. The normal gun's barrel twisted and cracked, rendering it useless, but the Devil Pistol, with its barrel blocked and an explosive round, exploded into shrapnel, shredding up the hand of the Nightmare. Carver gasped, turning his head slightly. He'd been focused on the Nightmare, and a swordsman had managed to impale his thigh with their sword. It wasn't lethal but it hurt like hell and was sure to slow him down.

Without either of his guns, the Nightmare was helpless as Carver charged forward, checking it across the throat with the crook of his arm, causing the Nightmare to lift bodily off the ground and slam headfirst down onto the stone, out cold as the shadows fled from the body and into the fortress.

Using Ice Spear Vlad killed the remaining 50 bounty hunters. When the ice ball shattered releasing the Nightmare swordsman.He charged towards vlad

USeing "Ice Spears Vlad shot 20 spear towards him. As the samurai closed in deflecting the icy blades .

Looks like the kid's bitten off more than he can chew, Carver thought, feeling the hot pulse of blood beat in his heart. A fight like this was terrifying, but at the same time exhilarating.

"ORBU ORBU NO ROADBLOCK!" Carver shouted, manifesting an orb around one of the Nightmare Swordsman's feet. The obstruction only caused the swordsman to stumble slightly, but that was all that Carver needed as he hurled a small energetic Orb at the swordsman, his Fastball technique.

The Orb slammed into the stumbling swordsman's face, and he flinched sideways, leaving a momentary opening in his defenses.

Useing his icey Sword Vlad sliced the Samurai's stomach open. falling to the ground as the shadows escaped him.

"Thanks Carver you saved me." with a smile Vlad walked into the building.
Falling to his knees Vlad yelled "somethings wrong i feel weakend....my powers..." the seastone floor negated Vlads power while in the building.
