-Tanakami smiled and pushed herself up, her legs unbending as she launched up and into a run into town. She made sure she passed Seth and went in to look around, despite worry of his awkward limp. She headed into the town and looked around. She noted a pirate was going to try and bother one of her zombies. She smirked and took it upon herself to ram into him and keep going.
The pirate nearly fell over and regained his balance before turning and glaring at Tanakami. He yelled, “HEY BITCH!”
Tanakami turned around and said, “Who? Me?”
“Yeah you!” He walked up to her and shoved her shoulders, “You knocked into me!”
“And now you knocked into me, we’re even. Bye~!” She turned to leave.
He grabbed her shoulder and forced her back around to him and got his face in hers, his putrid breath seering her nostrils, “No… We’re going to fight since you protected a damn marine.”
“You, sir, are an idiot,” Tanakami said bluntly and smacked his hand off of her shoulder, “That is not a marine.”
The pirate only took in that he was called an idiot and he pulled his fist back to punch her. She ducked quickly under the fist and under another sloppy strike. She then thought of trying something and on the next punch, she bit his fist. It hurt but it made him bleed. He ripped his hand out and shook it off. She rubbed her jaw a bit but she still had all her teeth. The pirate looked at her oddly and she smiled and shrugged, laughing a little bit. That was only pissing him off again and he drew his fist back.-

Silver hears the commotion and moves through the people to see what was going on and watched the man winding back for another strike. She quickly undid her pole and cast the line quickly the large hook sinking into the man’s hand and she jerked it back. As it spun him she dashed forward the reel already pulling the line tight and in once close enough she dropped into a slide and kicked he knee out rolling up to her feet and brought the base of the pole down into his throat pinning him by his throat. “Now is that anyway to treat us ladies I mean really?” Smiling down at the pirate she just left the hook in his hand which the pole forced his arm to be raised and the hook was pulling hard on his hand as the line was still pulled taught.

-Tanakami smirked and watched her new crew member take charge of the fight. She placed her hands on her hips and said, “Aww~! No fun! I could have taken him! He is a moron, after all. He thought my zombies were marines! KI SHI SHI SHI~!”
The pirate struggled and heard the words of them both then exclaimed, “ZOMBIES?!”
Tanakami smirked and then looked at silver again and said, “Told ya he was a moron.” She then crossed her arms back under her breasts and cocked her head to the left a little. “Even if you stole my fight, feel free to do with him as you please,” She spoke in an uncaring tone and turned her back to the fight, smiling terribly.-

Seth kept walking. His pain going away as he noticed it less and less. But the feeling of discomfort still ever present. He wondered where the captain was running off to. But she was a person of her own free will and Seth wanted her to go on without him anyway. He caught up with her and apparently she is in a scuffle with a pirate. He clearly doesn’t seem to know anything about fighting and Tanakami seems to just be playing with him. This causes Seth to simply smirk as he watches. As the man rears his fist back, Seth considers perhaps throwing his shovel and cutting his arm off. However, there was no need.
He saw a fishook enter the man as his hand stopped, and their new crew mate hooked the man’s hand and pulled an impressive maneuver to pin him. This causes Seth to walk over to Tatakami. He walks slower but is mostly ignoring the pain for before, able to now stand up straight. He looks at the man just holding his shovel resting on his shoulder as the captain walked away “Do not worry friend.” Seth says to the pirate sounding reassuring. “If necessary, I will give you a burial!” The pirate likely looks at Seth wide eyed and yells in response. Seth stood there, watching what his new crewmate does. Waiting to see the man’s fate.

Looked at her captain as she left and then down at the pirate and squatted with a smile. “You see there are always problems and I like to keep things peaceful around here. Now I’m sure you want that hook out of your hand and while I cant cut the line or detach the hook right now I can get it out for you but it will have to come out the way it went in.”
The Pirates face drained of color and started to jerk his arm at the taught line. “Help me this bitch is crazy”
She Laughed this was her town they knew her well and she stood up and put her bare foot on his chest and pressed down then gripped the hook and rested the pole against her shoulder then squeezed his hand tight and with a smile slowly pulled the hook out letting it tare at the flesh and muscle as it was pulled out the way it went in. Once it was free she dropped the Idiots hand and stepped off him using the foot that was on him to left herself over him and left him lying in the street bleeding.

She decides to spare the man’s life, and upon seeing this, Seth sees no need to bury him. He looks at Silver as she walks away and walks after her soon. He catches up, walking next to her his eyes going over to her. He is toothily grinning as he looks at her and says “You never did tell me your name! All you simply said was hello. I would like to know your name. Or, if you do not want to tell me your name, whatever you wish for me to call you!”
Seth does not seem any less friendly, boisterous or outgoing then how he was when he first met her as he gives her the same friendly grin he gives to anyone he likes.

-Tanakami continued away from the on-goings, not even knowing that the pirate had been let go. She left the decision to the new member anyway. On her way further into town, she noticed a marine that wasn’t a zombie carrying bounty posters to put up. She smirked a bit and watched as he placed up a few on a wall. The first one was a guy she hadn’t seen before. He had a decent amount on his head. Then saw a picture of a little marine girl go up. This made her chuckle and she read over the shoulder that the reason for her bounty was going off with the other guy. What a stupid girl, but the guy looked strong and like captain material. Tanakami thought that they’d be fun to try and catch up with. She then saw a bounty go up that read, “Unknown pirate crew, eliminated entire marine ship. Will deem them shadow pirates due to threatening message received from downed ship.”
Tanakami laughed quietly to herself and saw that the bounty for the captain of this unknown crew was the same as the strong looking guy. Fair enough. Her other members being deemed as less but still a decent start. She noted that they had notes that the captain may look like a deceased pirate under the name of Gecko Moria. She rubbed her forehead, that was her father. She went up a bit closer and the marine was putting up ones for the yonko but turned his head when he saw the woman approach. He looked at her, having not read the bounty posters himself and asked, “Are you a pirate hunter?”
He continued placing up the bounties without much thought. Tanakami wanted to laugh so hard but restrained herself and answered calmly, “No, I just like looking at bounty posters. There is usually such beautiful artwork that truly captures the soul of the person they drew.”
The marine blushed a little, it was clear his hand was in replicating the drawn figures. He then said, “Thanks, but the one poster I wasn’t able to draw, they were apparently unseen.”
Tanakami sighed and said, “That is a terrible thing. Is anything at all known about them?”
“Just the captain’s voice but we were told to beware of the laugh,” the marine stated warily, getting curious of her questions, “It is supposed to sound like that of a long dead pirate. Who supposidly had no lineage so I think the laugh is a coincidence.” He actually read the poster and said, “Yeah.. They think it is a child of his. I think this will just make people jump at your hair color.”
“Well, we all got burdens to bare,” Tanakami decided to get a little cocky and giggled a bit, “ki shi shi.”
The marine froze and turned his head back to her and laughed a bit. He spoke shakily, “You are just doing that to spook me, aren’t you?”
Tanakami smiled at him, revealing her sharpened teeth and said, “No… Don’t run, and don’t make a sound… or you will cause your crew’s death next.”
The marine trembled and said, “I am not afraid of you. You and your crew would show your faces if you had the balls.”
“Aren’t I doing that now?” Tanakami reasoned with him then said, “Too bad that now you need to be dispatched.”
The marine dropped his stack of bounties and reached for his pistol, she moved herself slightly back to the crowd and lined her shadow up next to his. He pulled the gun up and tried to get off a shot and she ripped the shadow away. The body faded to dust but the gun was armed and shot off into the air when the butt hit the ground. The bullet grazed her hand between her thumb and pointer finger as she was pulling it back. She had collected the shadow and got an injury. A light wind blew the ashes away and some attention was drawn to her.
“Oops,” She said, “I dropped my gun, no big deal.” People seemed to buy it as she picked it up and decided to keep it anyway. She also took copies of the bounties to keep on her ship. She looked around the streets, hoping her crew was nearby so she could show them.-

Silver continued walking as Seth walked up behind her and she stopped dead in her tracks closing her eyes. She turned to him and her head was slightly bowed and she moved closer to him and placed her hand on his chest gripping her fishing pole tight. “Oh how cute you want something to call me.” She stepped in closer but her legs where on either side of his and her hand slid up his chest and over his shoulder her other arm wrapping around his other shoulder and she lifted herself up wrapping her legs around his waist and squeezing tight with a smile. She leaned her head to the side and rested her head on his shoulder and nuzzled his neck and gently racked her teeth along his neck. “You want a name?” she asked and nipped his ear whispering into his ear. Then she gently kisses across his neck then bites down hard holding him close squeezing his body tight tell blood starts to run from his neck then let’s go of his neck and leans back still attached to his waist and twists to try slam him head first into the ground.

Seth’s eyes narrow as he hears a gunshot and looks above the rooftop towards it’s direction. He stops. His attention then turns to the woman as she turns to him. To which, Seth responds straightforwardly to her first comment. “Yes! I would like to know what to call you, so that if need be, I may have something to refer to you by.” Seth’s mind was on the gunshot. She didn’t answer for a few moments and he then said “I wonder if that gunshot had anything to do with our captain…” Seth doubted it. He believed the captain was capable of handling herself. But he stilled believed it should be investigated. She then starts to do something similar to what she was doing before….
Seth had never before in life ever felt so awkward as he did then. It was strange enough when this woman just started touching and caressing him before. Now she was working her whiles in public no less. People staring. Stood in a way to not give a clear shot of his crotch. Seth knew something was coming, but he didn’t know what or when. He no longer cared people were staring. She whispered a question into Seth’s ear. Seth grinned. This pleasant sensation challenged him. It met his hardened body not with something the body does not want but with something the body does want. There was a glint in his eye as he stood straight and there was adrenaline going through him as he smiled. “Yes!” Seth replied boisterously as ever laughing hardily for a little. “I want to know what you to call you.” He says straightly looking ahead. Then she sinks her teeth into him.
Seth smiles widely as all the teeth in his mouth show. His eyes show a glint as if something of triumph or determination. Seth was accustomed to this, pain. Specifically piercing. He was not very used to it. He got an even bigger rush of adrenaline as he stood there and didn’t flinch much. He twitched slightly and did not let his crew mate see the look on his face. His eye twitched as he grinned, Seth having a rather eery look of a madman right now as people stare at him thinking Seth would lash out or attempt to rip this woman off, that he would squirm.
But there Seth stood. His eye twitched. His head twitched. The fight wasn’t with her. It was with his body, and he was winning. The body wanted to submit and show pain. But the fire within Seth that made his blood boil did not listen. The tensity of his body resulted in actually more pain then if he had just relaxed but he didn’t care. Seth felt his feet leaving the ground after no longer felt her teeth singing into his neck. Seth still held that creepy unsettling smile that scared people and people gasped as Seth lift his head up. He crowd of his head hit the ground with such force as to shatter the ground. The people could feel the vibrations in there feet.
Seth laid there for a few seconds his vision blacking on impact and then returning blurry. Upside down on the top of his head. Then Seth puts his hands on the ground and pushes to propel himself 50 feet into the air as he rights himself and lands on his his feet. He shakes his head to get parts of rock from the ground out of his hair and to wipe dust from it. He looks at Silver and instead of smirking smiles in a….reassuring way. If she doesn’t tell him his name Seth rubs his head from the blow and then says
“I heard a gunshot. I wonder if the captain was involved…” Seth looks up at the air to where he heard the gunshot. “She handles herself well, but I feel I should investigate. Go where you will.” Seth runs and then runs a bit forward and jumps into the air and clearing a few buildings as he is about 300 feet in the air as he looks down on the city. Turning. He sees the captain and flips forward to send his momentum down as he lands in the middle of the crowd behind the Captain. “There you are captain!” He walks over to her catching up. “I heard a gunshot.” He says as he is near her.

-Tanakami tucked the gun into her pants pocket and heard her boisterous first mate. She turned to him and looked at his neck and said, “Yeah I got shot, the fuck happened to you?!” She reached to place her hand on the bite mark to take a look at it. She seemed rather worried for her first mate and held the bounty papers in her other hand. She sighed and said, “Was it our new crew mate again?” If he let her touch the wound, she would be sure not to stick her finger in it and just trace the edges to see how big it is. She hoped they would stop hurting each other but she realized the hand she used had a burn mark and some blood from where the bullet grazed her.-
-
Silver smiled and flipped herself to her feet holding her rod and walked towards the gunshot as she arrived Seth had gotten there before her. Seeing the captain looking at the wound she had given him she licked her lips of the blood then flicked her tongue at the captain with a wink and walked over hips swaying as the crowd moved and she just moved through it like water and stepped in front of them all and smiled. “Oh and Captain by the way the names silver Think maybe we should set sail before any more trouble starts?” She asked with a soft smile she wiggled her still bare toes on the ground then smiled at the man. “You can call me…”she thought for a moment. “Silver is fine” she decided to be nice to him for once he had been such a good sport about all this maybe she would have to give him a treat. She chuckled and thought about it and just let the thought of that dance in her head.
-
“Oh this?” Seth did let her touch the wound. Seth frowned when he saw the gunshot on her hand when she reached for the wound. “It is nothing…it appears the bullet grazed you.” Seth looked at her hand as he turned his head. “It’s bleeding though it seems mild. There is likely a first aid kit somewhere on the ship.”
Seth turned and saw his fellow crew mate walking through the crowd clearing around her. He smirked glad she caught up with them them. “Ah! There you are!” She introduced herself to the captain and nodded agreeing with her statement. He then looked to him smiling. Seth smiled back and his smile grew when she introduced herself to him. “It is good to meet you, Silver! Welcome to our crew.” Seth says smiling warmly as she chuckled.
Seth looks over to the captain and says “Where to Captain? Back to the ship?” Seth smirked at her. He would follow the captain wherever she went.

-Tanakami pulled her hand back and looked at Silver. She smiled a toothy grin tried to forget that she had been shot. Her eyes locked on Silver and she said, “Yeah Silver, welcome.” She heard the thought of leaving before more trouble starts. She then heard the question if they were to set sail. “Yeah, let’s set sail,” She started on her way back, bringing her hand up and rubbing the graze mark gently with her pinky but keeping hold of the bounty posters. She shuddered a bit as she let the pain course through her. She kind of liked it, this was the first time she had ever gotten injured.
On the way back she spotted the ditched fishing pole and scooped it up with her injured hand and dropped the other one to her side, so now one hand had a fishing pole and the bounties in the other hand. She finally spoke again before getting to the ship and said, “We’re going to need information. Next port, we’re going to ask around for information. Like the people on these posters and on the grand line. Since we are pirates now, might as well prove ourselves. And since it is fun, don’t reveal yourselves as the unknown crew. Our bounty poster refers to us as shadows, killing without a trace. Let’s make it fun and keep it that way. And Silver, since you weren’t there, I threatened the marines so they main base knows my voice and my laugh. But they don’t know who either of you are. So, for me to sneak around, I can’t giggle even and I may need to hide my hair.”
She brushed her bangs fully from her forehead with her arm to reveal two tiny horns on her head. As they dropped back down, the two tiny horns were hidden once more.-
-
“Aye aye Captain!” Seth says as he does a nonchalant salute. He sees her horns as she reveals them. “I see…Ah well. I am sure we can hide your hair if need be. It should not be a problem.” He says looking around just to see if anyone was looking in on them. The only other person he saw was silver. He looked back at the captain.
“Let us be off then!”
-
Silver took and follow the two. As she walked she moved with a new sense of purpose. Watching the two moving in front of her she smiled knowing that this would be her new home, her new family. Seeing the captain pick up her fishing pole she smiled and just followed the two only stopping briefly to grab for boots before stepping onto the ship. “So is anybody hungry? I’m going to go down to the galley and start cooking. Does anybody have any special requests?” She smiled at the zombies and her two shipmates and started ahead below deck. She stopped just short of them being out of earshot and waited for response from anybody up on deck.
