Shadow pirates
-
-Tanakami watched Silver go to the back and then watched as Seth took off. She went to the door in and placed the bounty papers down before walking back to back of the boat. She looked at Silver, her purple hair going into her face and pressing against her back. She folded her arms under her breasts and saw her vest puffed up. She spoke in confusion, “What’s the matter?” Her eyes showed deep concern for her new crew mate.-
-
She stood and looked to the captain and then down her hands came up to her vest and she took a deep breath and let out a sigh. As her vest came off a few white feathers feel to the deck as it loosened. Once her vest was removed the large beautiful wings sprang forth and she let her vest drop to the ground the third wing was the last to raise and she smiled almost as if relieved. It was as if a tension had been removed from her body and she spread them all as the ocean air blew through them and she closed her eyes enjoying the feel she cupped them slightly as a strong gust came by and she was lifted about a foot off the ground then floated back down landing on her bare feet. “I hide them because my mother told me people would not understand. They would think me a monster.” She said with a tone that stated she was concerned about this and she placed her hands over her heart gripping her hands together with the way the light hit her she looked like an angel on earth.
-
-Tanakami watched as the wings were revealed. She smiled as she saw them. Then she chuckled a bit. “That’s a stupid reason to hide them,” She spoke bluntly. She crossed her forearms ahead of her and leaned on the back railing. She looked out at the ocean for a second then looked back at Silver. “I was raised thinking the same thing about my horns but until my hair grew out, every one saw them. And they never judged me. I have a lot of things wrong. Not just the horns but my teeth, my natural hair color, and even my skin. But I was accepted so, why couldn’t you since you look like an angel?”
She was being honest as she could be. With the pull of the wind, her horns were very viable as well as her ears being pointed. She had forgotten about those. She held herself still then looked back out to the ocean. She wanted an answer to that but tagged on, “Don’t be afraid to show your true self.”-

Silver stood there for a moment staring at the woman and chuckled at her comment thinking the two where juxtaposed to each other and worked out great. Watching her with a smile she nodded and liked put her vest throwing it over her shoulder and took her hat off and put it on Tanakami’s head. Turning with a smirk she walked back and down letting her wing hang comfortably bend her and walked through the dinning hall and into the kitchen pulled the lid from the pot stirred and then grabbed plates served and set three plates on the table each one had a salmon flank along the the seafood jambalaya.
-
Seth turned as she came with the food and stared at Silver as he saw her walking around with her wings. This surprised Seth however he has seen many strange things. “You have lovely wings!” Seth comments, speaking aloud. What caught his attention more was the food.
Seth after a few moments started gobbling up the Jambalaya and eating the Salmon flank with it. At this rate Seth will be done in maybe 35 seconds at the most.
-
-Tanakami made her way down and to the table. She sat herself there, taking Silver’s hat off her head and set it next to her place on the table. She sighed deeply and then looked at the food as it was placed down. She smelled it and said, “Damn this smells good.” She picked apart the Salmon with her fingers and ate it tiny nibble by tiny nibble. She very much liked the taste and started eating it a bit faster but she wanted to savor the flavor.
She only stopped to speak by saying, “No one could cook like that back where I am from. I should know I had to beg.” She chuckled a bit and went back to eating, only pausing again to say, “Well, after a while they just made extra for me until I went exploring.”-
-
Silver smiled at the complement and moved her wings not used to having them out in front of people she seemed to be hiding them and they almost seemed to vanish as she folded them behind her as she did so many times before but they were not compressed or bound so it made it easier. She then started to eat her food enjoying it and smiled. “I am sorry to hear that you won’t have to beg for food here I love to cook actually so yeah. I will just need supply’s but even when we are running low I will figure something out with what we have” she said and continued to eat she was eating slowly and carefully almost like she didn’t want it to go away granted slowly it was vanishing from her plate. Looking to Seth she spoke calmly. “Thank you” she said the first kind thing she had said or done for him since he met her aside from her bringing out food which she wondered if he even tasted it.
-
“Your welcome!” Seth finished his plate. He was still hungry and was smiling widely at Silver. “That was delicious! You cook very well!” He exclaims. “May I go to get seconds?” He needed healthy portions considering how much work he did before he even met them. He grinned widely at Silver hoping she would allow him to go get more. He didnt want to trouble her with going to go get another plate when he had two legs and arms that worked fine.

-Many hours went by until they could no longer see land, the sun was setting in a beautiful array and night soon swallowed the seas. As the moon rose high, all seemed calm and smooth sailing. Tanakami had hung up the bounty papers and was waiting for the others to get done using the medical kit before she would even touch it. Her boots were propped up on her desk in the room she commandeered and she was looking through marine files. She wasn’t getting much information, it was a smaller vessel.
The zombies were continuing to sail the ship out to where they knew of to go, one of them spotting a small ship in the distance. They waited until they noticed the ship was coming towards them and a black flag was sailing with a symbol on it. They yelled out, “ENEMY SHIP!”
The marines started preparing for battle, Tanakami heard the yell and dropped everything and ran on deck. The zombies were preparing cannons and she remembered that this crew probably thinks they are marines because they don’t have a flag up. This could be an advantage and disadvantage. She looked and saw cannon balls start to rain and she stretched her shadow to catch them and throw them back. This hurt her a little but she was not going to let this ship hurt them. The ship seemed the same size and theirs and it looked like the enemy was going to ram into their ship.-
-
Silver heard the shout and dropped the ointment she was using on Seth she hadn’t even tended her wounds yet and grabbed both fishing poles as if they were weapons. She had indeed shown they were formidable weapons. When she came up on deck she saw the cannon balls flying back at the ship and she closed her eyes and shot her wings open and looked to the captain. “I’m going to go make some noise…” she said. This was the life she chose and it was the life she would die by if it came to that. She launched into the air high where she would be hidden in the night sky and flew over the enemy ship and grinned then folded her wings dropping down towards the ship she opened her wings at the last possible second to make a safe landing and came down hard onto one of the pirate’s heads with all her weight he actually broke her fall and she spun low flinging the one pole sending the line out to catch into a pirates throat. Once she had one hooked she locked the reel. Blinking seeing that a group was rushing her. “Well let’s see if this pays off.”
-
Seth rushed onto the deck, him seeing the cannons firing, his shovel in his left hand. The captain caught all the cannon balls fired thankfully, as Seth couldn’t deflect them all. However, already Seth had devised a plan. Silver was already diving at the ship “Leave them to us.” Seth ran forward and jumped 400 feet into the air and landed in their crow’s nest. From there Seth jumped onto the top of their Yardam and cut the sail off at the attachment points. Then grabbed it and jumped across the opposite end that silver was on, blanketing the back half of the ship, making sure not to cover silver.
He jumps back and forth on the ships mast to cut the heavy Yardams off that held the sails. Causing them to fall from the mast on a part of a group of pirates while they are distracted with silver. Doing varying amount of damage.
Seth runs quickly and grips his shovel with two hands as he then cuts through the mast relatively cleanly. Clean enough that it doesn’t fall. He gets back to back with Silver holding his shovel to watch her back and then asks her. “Silver. Can you do something for me? I need you to cover me while I do something. Keep them off me.” Seth had a sort of evil smirk. “Think you can handle them?” Seth said looking over his shoulder at her his shovel in hand.
-
-Tanakami heard him say to stay behind and saw the damage they were causing. She then braced as their ship knocked into hers. She got flung to the other side and heard the wood crack. She righted herself as a group leaped off to deal with her. The first one shot a sort of beam at her and she ducked and rolled away, a second one fired and she brought her shadow up to protect herself. She then peeked back to her crew to see the fallen mast had incinerated in a mere instant then the embers sucked into one of the people that were still on the ship.
Within that moment of distraction, one of the others that hopped over kicked at her head. She went down and blood came from her forehead as it kissed the wood but she didn’t get knocked out. The zombies ran at the small 10 person group that hopped and a few of them were taken down by the surprise of zombies attacking. One of the remaining members, took out a small package of salt and threw it at the zombies. Half of them got it into their mouths and the shadows returned to Tanakami.
Tanakami righted herself and used her shadow to block another incoming blow as she felt the power instead of storing in her breasts, it went into her muscles. She had never felt it do that before and she felt her muscles extend. She used a very brief break in the onslaught to take the seven shadows of the crew and from her remaining zombies. This gave her definition and tone of muscles on her body.
With an increased speed, she sped at one of the users and jammed her elbow into their gut. They felt the pain but she felt a swift knee come up to her face and break her nose. She growled as she reared back then exerted herself further in rage. She reached her shadow up and took the other living members of the crews shadows and was sure to not touch her own. This caused her body to become larger and much more muscular but also was tearing her flesh a bit from having not done this before.
She ran at the next user and was able to punch her hand through them, one of the 6 remaining throwing sea stone at her but missing as he didn’t know she’d go through them. She was wearing out fast despite this display of power.-
-
Silver watched the hook disappear into a black hole the formed on the man’s neck and her eyes went wide and she growled then felt Seth come up behind her and shot her foot back between his legs. “Oh this is going to suck.” She groaned quickly as a swift kick came to her side and forced her to slide. She quickly pulled her foot to keep from tripping Seth up and she growled. “Time to die.” Her eyes seemed to burn with a blood thirsty desire. She took off in a sprint for the man and leapt up doing the splits her crotch going right at his face. She cut her wings and slapped her legs shut catching him with her knees and spun her body hard casting the line of her other pole at the leg of a pirate that was coming at Seth from behind and locked the reel once it caught his pants and she dropped back as she heard the crack from the man’s neck she was holding and then she screamed. Going rolling across the deck the line having pulled the one pirate flat on his face but her center wing was black and burned it looked destroyed her back was almost char as she came to a stop face first on the deck. “Seth GO.” She yelled and struggled to get herself up as a heavy axe kick came down onto her already pained back forcing her back to the ground. She screamed again and sprawled on the ground. Rolling onto her back she looked up as a heavy fist was coming down at her face. She brought the back side of her deep sea pole up into the man’s hand forcefully breaking it as it hit the pole and forced him to reel back.
-
Seth eyes widen behind him as he hops forward to barely dodge her kick. She then runs forward off to go fight the pirates. Seth had a sense of urgency as he ran up putting his shovel in his coat. Then he hugged the mast of the ship. The ship began to creek as Seth exerted much effort to pick it up. His smile gone and adrenaline flowing. Veins in his muscles showed on his body and his arms buldged under his sleeves. He could hear a pirate going for Seth as this happened. However Silver stopped him. Seth gritted his teeth and he heard silver scream. Seth was going to briefly turn around but then she yelled at him. “Seth GO!!” Seth put one hand under the huge mast, then the other as he balanced it, like a gaint log.
Seth looked straight forward breathing heavily and squats his legs for a second. People were counting on him. He had to do this, and it had to do be done right. No turning back. No regrets. It is time all the training he has gone through for much of his life to matter. He yells for a moment as he rises and then brings his arms up to hurl the giant multi ton mast several hundred feet into the air. Seth seething with anger and fear jumps 700 feet into the air at the mast and grabs it by the bottom as it flips over in the air. Now beginning to fall down with pointed end tilting down. It about to land like a nail or spear.
Seth midair aims it correctly so that it hits almost straight on as he pushes off with all his might against the mast and sends it down high speed towards the ship. *CRASH* it spears through piercing to the bottom and lodging firmly in. Shockwaves from the collision actually sending some people flying off the ship into the water and knocking others into walls as the ship dip into the water for a moment.
Seth descends with mechanical fist spinning garnering momentum. Descending rapdily down to the spike as he gets near it he yells at the top of his lunges about to punch the mast. “RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH!!!!!” He comes down with all his might and then some as he punches down on the bottom of the mast driving it further into into the ship with immense force, like a hammer into a nail. The ship dips going deep into the water and rising again causing rough waves that strikes the marine ship and almost knocks it over as it goes off to the side. However despite rattling the ship, the damage does not seem too bad. It is now however a larger distance away from the pirate ship at about 1000 feet. And this pirate ship.
*CRACK* Fractures shoot up in Seth’s forarm on his right hand as a bone shoots up from the back of his elbow under his sleeve, through his skin as he is on top of the mast as Seth stares at his arm in shock, then in range, damning his body. He stands atop the end of the mast with his shovel out and then jumps down taking his shovel and chopping down on a man getting up, cutting him cleanly in half as Seth’s other arm is limp. A man with a dice dice fruit user clashes with Seth’s shovel, his arms blades, as a sickle sickle fruit user sends sharp air at Seth. It slashes into Seth cutting deep gashes into his sides as he is knocked back into the rail of the ship.
Seth bleeds but feels no pain as he yells madly at the men. The dice dice fruit powers lunges Seth. His shovel extends to the man’s surprise and he smacks him away with his shovel. Seth forms a shield with the shovel as it shortens and he runs at the Sickle sickle fruit user. Who sends wind at him. Seth blocks with the shovel. The rest of the wind not blocked going around him. He is in the man’s face as he bashes him with the shield sending him flying back as he smashes through the railing and skips across the water like a pebble before he plops inside, helpless as he drowns. Seth bled from his sides but held nothing and did not show pain. He breathed heavily, like an animal. As he powered through pain and forced his body to fight…

-Tanakami felt a force as the ship rocked and gripped into the wood as the other users got slammed into a side wall. She heard the one fall over into the water then she released while the boat was still tilted and rushed the rest, knocking two more into the water then grabbing the side rail before she, herself went over. She pulled herself up and used her legs to knock another in. One of them bashed her fingers and tried to make Tanakami fall. She pulled herself up and felt herself losing strength as people were killed.
She pulled up and punched the one that tried to make her fall in the face, it hurt his jaw and knocked it off. It even harmed her knuckles a little. She then turned to the last few and they rushed her. They went hand to hand with her and as she aimed at one, the other two tried to grab her. She pulled so they smashed into each other but the last one was too smart for her.
He jumped back and then used a kinda of smoke like power to try and choke her. She held her breath and rand through it as she started to see the sun barely peek up at the side of the ocean, not enough. She then tried to punch him but they faded in the way. She backed up to where the seastone was embedded in their cabin, the smoke touching it and retracting.
Tanakami smirked then as she slowly released shadows because she was really losing her grip to stay up. She pulled out the gun she had taken and shot him in the chest. She watched them bleed through the chest. She felt her own blood on her and she fell down on the deck. She couldn’t fight anymore but she wanted to help her crew. She pulled her body up but fell again.-
