Thread 1:Rescue on the Tenryubito Island

Santo's raft containing Santo, Jiwang, and Kain as the slowly sailed to a government owned island in which a Tenryubito resided, Jiwang had suggested the idea of releasing the slaves and taking them as crew mates, Jiwang knew because he was formerly a slave to the Tenryubito, he had the slave mark on his arm but replace it with a giant branding with Santo Pirates's flag on it. Santo and Jiwang were calmly sipping a cup of tea in which Jiwang had made for them. Jiwang grunted "This is a way for you to gain infamy and gain a crew member. Santo sighed he was contemplating whether or not to harm the tenryubito, he knew it could get him infamy but it could bite him in the ass later on. "Hey Kain what's your goal?

Kain made no reaction towards the question as he sips his tea rather in a calm like manner- almost regal as he gently put the cup down and sigh in a rather content manner.
It was rather interesting how he join the two in their adventure, especially since they were planning to become one of the Warlords. If he had to bow down to the World Government, he wants no part of it. But they promises him that if it comes to orders from the Government, he could just stand back and watch if he wishes.
But they seem to geniunely want him in their crew and though he plans only to insist them when they needed it; he might end up mothering them more than he thought.

"Create an uncorrupted world." He said bluntly as he picked up his tea again before sipping. They were on their way to the Tenryubito Island but he wasn't sure what their intentions were towards the place. As far as he knows, he doubt they'll be invited in so easily due to the fact that every Tenryubito thinks that everyone else is as low as scum itself. He had seen some Tenryubito once upon a time in his time with the Dictator of his country and he knows very well how fearful and cruel they are.
"How about you; what's your goal?" He was curious also on what they planned to do in the world; they seem like a crew that is unlike some others.

Santo sighed "My goal is to be the number one swordsmen to defeat all those swordsmen in my wake although that is just a little tiny dream not even a speck in comparison of my real goal, although i have multiple goals as you know i dream to be a warlord not a government dog, a rebel to them, I will do what is necessary, if i have to cut down a marine i will, but what i plan to do is bring justice to the world, although once again just a speck, MY REAL GOAL IS TO PROTECT MY BROTHERS BLAKE AND DANTO!" As Santo had declared this they had hit the island and Santo had finished his cup of tea, "It looks like we are here!"

Kain raised an eyebrow but didn't comment on it. He had heard there are a new pirate rookie crew (what was it... the name escapes him for the moment but he knows that he should have the information about the crew in his book so he'll review later). That was probably the brother he was talking about though he wonders how Santo would be able to protect his brothers in the position of being a warlord. But he wouldn't question or rebel against his idea; he would listen to his captain's request...
Though if he thought of doing anything stupid, he might have a few comments about that.

Already finished with his tea cup, he looks up at the island; which reminds him of the times when he was in the palace and other grand places that he have to attend to when he was a child. He couldn't help but think that it's probably more grander than what he saw in his life time- which probably wasn't surprising. This is the island of where the Tenryubito lives.

"What is our goal here in this island?" Kain asked as he stood up, his katanas hooked on his waste and he held onto them by one hand.

Jiwang bellowed "We are starting an uprising, and take the slave with the most potential for our crew, this is a way for infamy and quantity." Jiwang stood there "So we need a strategy, I have experience breaking away from tenryubito, what we need is someone to distract, attack, and free, Kain you will be freeing, I will be distract because who won't see a giant 25 foot fishman giant standing there, Santo you will be attack, chances are we will have to face government agents, but santo will have to face the most, they all trying to protect that spoiled brat, that tenryubito." Jiwang had anger flowing through his eyes "Men today is the day it will be harder for us because now after this we will probably have higher bounties and tenryubito will request our capture to the marines, so go now."

By the time that Jiwang had finished, Kain had already disappeared from the raft and out of their site, true to his ninja training as he did it without anyone noticing. He'll be able to free whoever that is deemed necessary because there is less than a doubt that he would be seen or detected.
But, though they probably didn't know it, he's actually at a place where he could still see his two crewmates. Of course, he's hidden from their site and the likelyhood of them figuring out where he is, is pretty small, but he's nearby nonetheless watching them seeing any indication of where they are moving out to or what their next movement would go to.

Kain, from the hidden spot he is at (which is on a roof nearby out of plain site, took a deep breath before releasing it, his eyes shifting from his crew for a short while to the rest of the island that he can see from his position. He made a note, using every sense he have, of the guards and the agents that are around.
There are a lot unsurprisingly but with all the training he had recieved from his Master, he would not fail to infiltrate this island with all the traps it has.

From his small bag, he grabbed a parchment and let it flow towards his two crewmates.
It's actually a map of the island; something he had acquried back then when he was by himself in the sea. He hoped it would help them with their next move as he look back at the island once again. Already planning his path towards the goal, he looks back at his crewmates and wait for their next move.

Jiwang pointed at the map "Wow it shows security intel, the right has the least security the most is on the right and medium is in the center, Santo go to the right, Kain will go to the left and I will go to the center, i can lure away some of the security while you fight the others Kain will have to fight some but he can do it and he should be able to free the slaves, although these are Government agents so we can't take them for granted. Santo nodded and flanked to the right and cut a whole with an airblast and ran in. Jiwang sumo stepped to cause a tiny rumble to attract some of the agents towards the center.

Kain, reading their lips and noticing what they were doing, began to go from there now; heading towards the left of the flank of the island.
He uses the shadows to his advantages as he jump from roof top to rooftop to where he knows where the slaves are. The problem would be sneaking inside down to the basement where most of the imprisoned slaves would be but he would dishonor his master's training if he wasn't able to get inside without being undetected. But once he free them, there is no chance he would be able to get them out silently. He's trained to be silent but there is no way to be silent with more than probably 30 slaves that could be in the cellar. As he came closer, noticing that almost every guard and agent were called to the docks where the other two were docked.
He had faith that they would be okay- but even if they're not, he can always heal them back to the way they were.

As he was coming closer to the holding chamber where the slave are, he ducked down into an alley and off the roof, holding himself between the wall above the ground as he saw some agents passing by him and going towards the dock.

He then jumps down onto the ground and hide behind the wall as he looks at the street ahead, seeing that there are some, though very few, agents left on the field. Well, nothing that he couldn't handle.

Santo saw some government agents rushing towards him using soru, Santo at first panicked but then closed his eyes and remembered Jacob's training, his ears became more sensitve and his eyes as well and for the one quick second he needed it he saw the agent and knew he had to time this slash at the right time,he winded back his sword and waited about 2 seconds and slashed an airblast. He saw the agents bodies gathered in a pile as they thudded. Santo saw that the airblast had made a hole in the wall which lead into the next room.

Kain let a smoke bomb drop from his hand as it rolled down towards the agents, who were confuse as the area suddenly became misty, some coughing as the area coutinued to be more smoked and smoked.

"Oi, Agent-"
In the clouds of the the smoke that is formed, one agent was knocked, alerting the other.
"Keep together! An intruder is her-"
Another one disappeared beyond the smoke.
"Agen-"
And another one.

One of the agents who were still conscious, look around frantically in the unseeable cloud of smoke as he heard many of his co-worker screaming till it was immediately silenced and felt himself shaking in wonder and fear at who in the world is this person to easily take out their agents like that.

Everything was then silent- not even the last remaining agent would dare make a sound as he steps back, planning to go out in a full run and warn about the fact that there is actually someone else here.
Everyone knows about the giant and the swordsman but the other hiding in the shadows-

Before that agent could do anything, Kain knocked him out by hitting a pressure point on his neck, making the other unconscious.
Soon, the smoke cleared and you can see the body of agents littering around the street. Kain then looks at the agent in front of him and grab that very same agent, seeing that he has the same size as him......

Jiwang had seen the smoke bilge disperse in the air from the side Kain, went and heard the booms from where Santo went, he began to do more sumo steps to have the ground rumble and stop the world government agents from advancing, Santo saw the smoke and knew that was Kain's doing and saw more agents rushing towards that area so Santo sent an airblast that slammed into the whole divison he carved there crews name into the walls so they would get credit for there work. Santo began dragging his sword hacking down more and more agents

A man with short looking straw-colored hair wearing an agent's uniform ran towards the guardian the holding chambers with a panic look on his face, pointing over to the outside of where he knew the bodies of his co-workers were unconscious.
"T-There is someone out t-there!!" He stuttered with a look of fear as he look at the street with wariness and panic. He doesn't want to go out there!

The two guards who are in charge of making sure that no one gets in or out looked rather concern. "We can't leave our post. And you should be out there fighting!"
"How can I? I don't know where he is and I didn't even get to see his face! I'm doing a wild goose chase here!!"

Both of the guards look at each other in a perplex expression. They are better than most of the agents here on this island- which is why they were in charge of the slaves. Their white uniforms, which differ from the usual black uniforms, are what show the difference in power between the rest of the agents. While they were not allowed to move from their position, this is an emergency... especially since they kept hearing tremors and the many silenced voices of their comrades.
But they still can't leave their position....

They both look at the shivering and shaking agent.

Though he's probably not as strong as them, he'll have to do really. It's not like the slaves could escape- they're caged and chained! And the other looked too feeble to be even trying to go pass the door and into the holding chamber anyway.

"Stay here, we'll investigate." One of them said in a voice of autority as the agent look at them with his jaw dropped.
H-He's going to stay here with these stupid slaves...? Well... it's better than out there at least.....

The other one looks at him skeptically, making the agent tense in wondering why the other is looking at him like that before the last guard ran after his co-worker, leaving the agent alone with a big door that had groans, crying, and moans behind.

As soon as the agent was sure that the guards were long ago and involved into the fight- he dropped his facade; his face emotionless and unreadable.
Grabbing the fedora he had on, he took off the wig and let his long hair fall before putting the fedora back on. The wig is ichy for his liking.

Without wasting anymore time, Kain then turns around towards the door and began to open it; his face not telling what he thought of the horror he saw inside.

Jiwang saw it as his comrades were far enough to be safe from an attack "Fishman Roundhouse!" Jiwang bent down and swept his legs across the ground. The agents were swept away and Jiwang saw more agents attempting to flank him, he began to spin and screamed "Tearing Lion Shark Blast!" Which swept away the agents with water vapor, Jiwang saw a government flag hanging high and proud and Jiwang took it down and gently placed it on the floor, and replaced it with the Santo Pirates flag.

Kain felt his nose scrunch up at what he saw. It's not because of the slaves: it's because of their living arrangement.
There is not much to live on anyway; the place smells like death and not suitable for anyone to live in. Despite the pristine look it have on the outside, the inside is definitely not the same. It looked like an old abandon barn used to store various of animals: except it's filled with humans, not animal though they have been treated like so or worse. Every single one of then chained or caged like some kind of display. Many of them have wounds and their clothes are ragged and torn in many place. He could see some women in the back and they barely have clothes to cover themselves decently.
When he entered, everybody squint at the light coming out from the door and as Kain look around, he could tell that they barely see light; much less sunlight. There are no light fixtures installed inside the slave chamber.
As he enter in, many glared and growled at him; albeit weakly though. Most look at him with fear and horror, wondering who have been called by the nobles to be used as the slave for the day.
Everyone watches his every move as he look around as if though he is looking for someone but at the same time, they don't really know what he's looking for. He had look through every single slave there is but his gaze never linger onto anyone; as if he's looking through all of them but for what, they didn't know.

The strange man, that is strangely handsome and not as rugged as you would think an agent should look, walk towards a child in a cage. Now that they think of it, this guy is not the usual people who would come and get them. They usually wear white clothing; this guy is wearing the black clothes that indicate that he is of the lower rank. And lower rank people are not allowed to be in here.... Why is he...?

They watch as he pulled out a ring of keys that would open the cage and some couldn't help but pity the child while some are just glad that they are able to get away from having to work for the noble.

The child sniffled as he look up at him, trying not to cry since the guards would punch and punish him if he does. Especially the nobles.
"I-I have to work again?"

The strange guard with the emotionless face, pointed soft eyes towards the child, surprising the little boy slightly. Kain finally unlock the cage before reaching over to the child. The child flinches as he saw the man reaching out for him but didn't made any move to resist. He knows better than to do something like that. But after a moment of waiting for them to drag him out, it never happened.... In fact, both his hands and his feet feel lighter. Even his neck doesn't feel constricted as usual.
When he open his eyes, he was surprise to find that his shackles, even the collar around his neck, is gone and off him. He was even more surprise when the other pick him up gently into his arms..... the last time he was picked up like this; was when he was picked up by his mother and father.......

"I'm freeing you."

Now everyone was surprise by what the man is doing; wasn't he part of the government or.....

"My name is Kain and I am part of the Santo pirates." He said with determination and softness that they didn't think would exist every again in their life. Though it's just a hope that they would free them..... Though it's just a hope....
"If you want to be free, if you want to live once again...." They hear the authority in his voice. "Come with me and cooperate with me."

Santo soon meet 2 swordsman agents who were more powerful than he had anticipated, the sound of swords clashing rippled through the air as Santo was holding both men at bay. He quickly gripped his sea stone chain and whipped it at there feet and they jumped in the air, Santo smiled and whipped himself at both of them cutting them both down with a point blank sharp air blast. The thud of oth there bodies made Santo smiled and walked into the room that was right next to the slave room, Santo used a smoke ball after getting a visual of the room and the location of the people in it, he chopped them down he smiled as he heard gawks and thuds, as the smoke cleared Santo was sitting in a spin chair waiting for anyone to come in

Genshi was irritated. He sat in an alley, looking at the map he had purchased a few days before. Ever since he had arrived, he had spotted several men in uniform, and he's been scrambling to keep himself hidden. Genshi was afraid of getting caught lugging around a pair of swords with him.

His map was one of the sea, a small sector of the sea that is, the shifty vender had convinced him that it was crucial to have a map at all times, and that this particuar map would lead him to a grand treasure. The map, however, lead him to an island with the world government flag waving high and proud. He crumpled the map and threw it to the ground. By now, his boat must've been discovered and taken away, or possibly destroyed. Genshi wasn't prepared to sprint to the docks to make sure.

He stood up and sighed. Genshi wasn't sure that he would even be able to get around without getting caught. He peered out of the alleyway and looked around for any uniformed men.what he did see, from a distance, was a giant, replacing a world government flaf with a pirate's jolly roger. A smile crept onto Genshi's face, these pirates would keep the uniformed men busy for a while. Genshi took this chance and began to run for the docks, inadvertedly bumping into a pair of men in uniform. They pushed him away and examined him, scowling at the sight of his swords.

"Look what we have here. I heard that some pirates had arrived. You have a pair of swords and no uniform, so you must be one of them." One of the men said, drawing his sword, while his ally drew a sword of his own.

"I guess I've no choice but to fight." Genshi thought, drawing his swords, and coating his chest and arms in a grey substance.

Jiwang's eyes located the man at the docks, and saw the uniformed men at the docks harassing him, Jiwang focused and used a punch that knocked away the uniformed men, and they wouldn't be back for a while, and soon other men began to run towards Jiwang, and he sighed, "When will they ever learn." Jiwang assumed the position once again "Fishman Roundhouse!" the uniformed men went sweeping across and falling. Jiwang knew that was probably the rest of the agents since Santo and Kain probably handled the rest of them. Jiwang took some steps and was at the docks he slowly dipped into the water awaiting the agents. "Hey you what is your name."

Genshi watched in awe, as the giant blue guy swatted the uniformed men away like an unwanted salad. He heard the word 'fishman' used, and that helped explain what the swordsman was looking at. Genshi had learned that there were some being capable of manipulating water, and sing it as a weapon. These were half fish, half humans known as fishmen.

"M-my name? It's Genshi Molynieu, I'm a p-pirate." he said, feeling his knees knocking.

He couldn't blame himself for being afraid. It wasn't often that one would meet a fishman, let alone one of this size. He began to run to the docks, hoping that his boat was still present and in tact. Simultaneously giving himself some distance from the uniformed men, because when they return, Genshi was sure that there'd be more of them.

Jiwang kicked and fluttered his legs and went in front of the guy, "Sorry to startle you I am Jiwang a half fishman half giant, half fishman, and also its dumb to try and out run me when i am in water and also don't be scared if they come back I can easily wipe them out once again, so want to join our crew my captain and his friend are in the tenryubitos home getting some slaves free and defeating the world government agents, we ARE THE SANTO PIRATES!" The agents began swimming back and Jiwang began spinning and siad "This is going to be a big one.

"So, as you can see gentlemen, with my new security system uploaded to your mansions, you have no worries about anyone breaking into your facilities." charon had finished making his speech to the Tenryuubito. A swarm of applause could be heard, though the tenryuubito were no where in his presentation room. They wouldn't sully themselves to give him a real audience. Instead, the clapping came from each of their representatives and the tenryuubito watched from monitors.

"Now. With but a flick of this switch, I shall turn on the new security measures taken to protecting the security of your *cough* assets." As he flicked the switch, an alarm immediately went off, causing his attention to deviate to the monitors to see four individuals on display. one was inside one of the slave quarters, he was hold a child in his arms. But he didn't panic, the man must have dirtied the attention of his temporary guards cause he caught them on his monitors only seconds afterwards.

A small beeper on each of their waists went off, signaling them to return to the slave quarters to prevent a break out.

Next his attention drew to a pair of pirates down at the port of the island. an incoming signal alerted him of a pirate ship located off the coast. He directed a signal to the patrolling guards to the area where his sensors picked up the two. His den den mushi over there picked up one of the men's blue skin, so he assumed he was a fishman. Hearing his call, the guards followed the incoming signal prepared for the fishman's superior strength and fighting skills.

Last, he noticed a commotion down in a room next to the slave quarters that the guards had been sent towards. He figured he might deal with this problem himself, so he set the alarm system on autopilot and exited the room, heading down to the room himself. Before he left though, he sent a platoon of guards there to by him time, in case the man left.

By the time Kain was figured out of his plan to free the other, everybody was already out and unchained, people yelling shouts of happiness while other cried, not believing that they were free.
Kain give the child in his arms to a woman nearby and practically ordered everyone grab whoever cannot walk by themselves, including the mermaids and mermen though some are reluctant to do so but they dare not upset or go against the person who freed them. Just when they were about to open the door and get themselves out-
"Stop."

They look back at their savior who had said that and watch as he went to one of the walls at the other side if the small building.
He took his sword and close his eyes in concentration.
Suddenly, a big gust of wind surrounded the other and as quickly the other had pulled out is katana, the katana was then put back into its sheath.
Some more experience could see the quick slashes that the other made, though only two.

And the, the wall cracked, two deep lines making a triangle from the tip to the floor appeared and as Kain kick the wall, the wall fell down, showing an alley on the otherside.

"Go this way." He said as he push the others towards that direction as he faced the main door, his hand on the hilt of his katanas. "Go to the docks, my crewmates are there and will protect you. I'll keep them busy here."

They didn't seem to be needed to be told twice as everyone then, in a panic like state, ran through the other escape that was provided for them, Kain staying where he is as he was already back to his usual attire, his face emotionless and calm.
He's not stupid and knows very well that the guards would come back sooner or later. He just regrets that they'll see his face and put himself on the bounty map for all bounty Hunters and the like to see. Guess he can't always be in the shadow if he wants to do his cause... But..

He steps into the shadows a bit more which hid his face.
He'll have to try, he guessed.

"Whoa, are you the captain? Of course I'll join." Genshi said, a smile painted onhis face.

"And besides, if they do come back, I'd be more than capable of taking them on." He added, holding his drawn swords.

He ran to his boat, to find all his belongings still aboard. His small duffle bag of goods were untouched, much to his glee. However, his glee did not last long, as he turned around and was met with the uniformed men from before. Needless to say, they didn't look happy.

"Watch this, fishy man." He said, charging towards the men.

With both men wielding a sword, they charged forwards as well, clashing their weapons with Genshi's. It was clear, however, that the pirate was stronger, as he began to push them back. Genshi than stepped back and thrusted both swords forward, stabbing the uniformed men in the torso. The men dropped their swords and began clutching their respective wounds. Genshi withdrew his sword and turned to the fish giant.

"I'm able to hold my own in battle." He said.

Unbeknownst to Genshi, one of the uniformed men drew something from his coat. It was a pistol, one that he aimed straight towards Genshi's back. A 'bang' tore through the air, as Genshi fel forwards. The man began to chuckle, believing that he had beaten the pirate, he felt shock when Genshi began to stand up. He pulled off his flannel shirt and removed his sleevless shirt, to show his entire back and torso covered in a thick gray substance. The bullet hole was deep, but not deep enough to severely hurt Genshi. He plucked the bullet out of his back and raised a fist, covering it in the same gray substance. He turned to the pistol wielding man, and brought down his fist, punching the man's head into the ground. The gray substance receded into the pirate's skin, as he put his clothes back on.

"And I think that I just proved what I had previously said. Wouldn't you agree?" Genshi asked, massaging the area of his back wherein the bullet hit.

Jiwang stopped spinning leaving a whirlpoo, where he spun but Jiwang was able to stay still within the whirlpool. "Well I am not captain it's a man named Santo, he is in there battling agents, much stronger than me although my height and size give me an advantage." Jiwang got out of the water, and said so I think we both should provide a distraction for my captain. Back in the building, Santo heard footsteps and got himself ready although these agents were much stronger than the other agents he saw it there eyes. "Thank god Jacob trained me or I would be dead meat right about now.". Santo lifted his sword and concentrated "Dragon Gale Winds!" Santo winded his sword and swung with enormous power making a giant gale force run the whole room breaking the circuitry and sending the agents flying.

Charon walked down the hall, strolling as he played with his wires. No need to rush. He had a private monitor that could switch to any of the monitoring den den mushis in case the punk tried to get free.

Seeing the guards fly right out of the room he sighed at their incompetence. "Why do they hire such incompetent soldiers? If I could just trick out the security here, but nooo, they said that all they wanted was a new alarm system."

Turning into the room, he noticed Santo still there. Looking over the torn computers, he sighed, rubbing his temples. "You do know I'm the one who's going to need to fix that right?"

His wires extended from his skin, filling out the room with electricity sparking between them all. He then sent them towards the man in a wave.

In the previous attack with his Dragon Gale, Santo had destroyed the communications device in the room, meaning that no one could hear or see what was going on.

Santo laughed and stared into the man's eye, "I see you feel unappreciated by those rat tenryubitos, join my crew we could use a man like you and since your so close to the rats you can steal gold from them, years so many years they have abused there slaves and priveleges for so many years beyond our ancestors maybe 5 generations back, now we could stick it to them you could get close will I pretend to be dead you steal the gold of that rat bastard and we leave along with releasing the slaves." Santo walked towards the man and stuck out his hand for a handshake.
