One Piece, Adventure Begins
 

The seas were glowing red in the moonlight, as the ship sank into the depths. While another sailed away. That ship flew the flag of the Brimstone, commanded by the grandline pirate Pyre. That very captain lifted his mug in cheer. "Haha, well thats one rival crew out of the way! Darius, fetch us some more grub! Scherzo, play us a tune! Come on boys this is a party, lets celebrate."

Massaki heard a sob come from the back of the hull, "Whos there? Ye better answer me before i start hittin instead" Hatsumi called

A small form peeked over some flour and the form of a small boy slinkered into view,
"Well we have a stow away hey, what be your name boy and how did you get here?" Massakis thumbs rested hooked over the handels of his tonfa,
"I...Im bobby sir i snuck aboard when you attacked the pirate ship, I was the cabin boy sir" The youth looked like he haden't eaten for a few days.

"You're one of their crew then" Massakis' hands tightened around the handels ready to pull them into action,
"N..No you've got it wrong i was a prisoner sir" Bobby looked like he was about to start crying again
Fed up with the game Massaki grabed the youth and started draging him upstairs, "Th- captain will be wanting a word with ya then" was all Hatsumi said, The boy pleaded all the way to the mess to be let go.

As he pushed the boy thru the cabin door the pirates inside fell quiet for a moment, Entering quickly after, Massaki continued to prob the boy untill he stood infront of the captain.
"Captain, This here be a stow away from that last buncha scallywags we dispatched" With that massaki grabed a stein from the table and gulped down a large swallow of rum.

Johan stretches along the length of one of the yardarms on the main mast, nursing a flagon of ale and reading his book by the light of the burning ship. As he reads, he hears from below the drunken singing of his happy comrades. With a smile he turns the page of his book and as he does so, something odd happens, the page he turns to is solid black. The page is covered in ink from corner to corner, and as he turns to the next page this one is the same as the last. He flips quickly through the remaining pages to find that only 5 pages are blacked out. He quickly hurries down the main mast to present his strange find to the captain, to get his oppnion. As he slips into the captain's cabin, Johan notes the young boy being presented to the captain. He quickly slips through the crowd of pirates and makes his way towards the captain. "Captain," he whispers into Pyre's ear, "I've found something odd in this navigational record I stole from the other ship. It appears that five of the pages have been blacked out with ink. Who knows what sort of data could have been stored on those sheets of paper. It could've contained the location of a huge treasure, a weapons cache, or even a pirate village we could conscript into your service. I'd like your permission sir to investigate the contents of this book to a further extent."

Scherzo, never one to deny song, began instantly to play an upbeat victory tune he learned from a questionable place at an unknown time. Just as he was about to get to the climax of the song, a commotion broke out in the crowd as a young boy was being herded toward the captain.

To the displeasure of the crew he stopped the music, got up, and went to see what the deal ws with the boy was. Scherzo then waited quietly behind the captain as the boy's tale unfolded.

As the boy began talking, Scherzo found himself unable to keep his attention on what he was saying. Letting out a yawn, he was about to go back to his music when another pirate, who he recognized as Johan came up and with much vigor began showing the captain what appeared to be a logbook. Disinterested, Scherzo walked over and began playing an airy tune on the flute from his pocket.

If he needed to know what was going on, the captain would let the crew know.

Darius Walked into the middle of the crowd. "Hey! HEY! don't scare him!" Darius leaned down to the nervous child's level. "Ya hungry? want something to eat? why don't you come with me." He put his hand on the boy's head and lead him back to the galley.

The captain blinked somewhat suprised at the boy. But before he could pass judgement he was scurried away. Which was fortunate because he had other business. Though he just waved him off and nodded. It wasn't that he wasn't concerned, but what captain would ruin his crews celebration. "Come on people dont let a lone stowaway ruin out party. After all, by tomorrow we will be arriving at Corana Island, a well known pirate den. So lets get there and show them what happens when you mess with the Hellions!" With that the crew raised their mugs in cheer. For soon they will taste combat.

Johan, realising his dismissal, slips silently back into the crowd. As he does so he places the book in his pocket, for consultation at a later and unknown date. He turns to ale and helps himself, quickly immersing himself into the vibrant revellry of the pirate crew.

"He should be fat enough, He's been eating your supplies in the hold" Massaki shot the quip at darius knowing thae cooks reaction would be.

Massaki smiled to himself grabbed a leg of lamb, a bottle of rum and headed back on deck his watch hadden't finnished yet.

The crew celebrated throughout the night, and by day break they had arrived at the port. Corana island was one of the spring island in the grand line. The people were selling their wares and there were more then a few places get grab a drink. Only a few of his crew knew, but their true reason for coming here was because of the Slicer Crew. A pirate crew specializing in sword, dagger, and other blades in combat.

Their captain was Relin, who has eaten the sword sword fruit. He can produce blades and swords from anywhere on his body. Although many members of their crew had bounties, Relin was Pyre's true target. Nothing gets his blood boiling like the prospect of a new fight.

(hope you dont mind me jumping ahead. Also feel free to introduce other crews, Slicer members, and othe NPCs. This thing is rather free form))

Massaki was the first to step on land, He dissapeared only to reappear a short time later,
"Captain, You were rite, Rellin is here he arrived two days ago".Massaki awaited his orders from the captin, His thumbs absently rubbing the handels of his weapons.
