The Rp
-
It was a clear blue day with some cerise clouds hanging in the air as the wind pulled them along. The sun beat down on the small dock of a tiny island out in the ocean. The shadows of the clouds danced patterns across the water and across the singular person on the dock with a bucket beside them. The long silver hair blew in the wind lightly as the gulls called out their enjoyment of the calm day. a black hat sat upon her head the bill casting a shadow on her face as her feet hung off the edge of the wooden pier her red vest hugged her body. Her fingers where wrapped around the base of her metal fishing pole that had a spool of fishing line that she had custom made from the spiders of the island. The water below here was still and only lightly waved with the soft pull of the wind. the hilt of the fishing pole was between her legs that where in a tight pair of black pants and beside her sat her black heeled boots. Leaning her head back to look up to gulls with light silver eyes as her lips curled into a blue silver painted smiled seeing the gulls over head. it was a simple day and quite. She had the day to herself and was going to sit and fish all day but this time for pleasure and fun not for work.
“Such a quite day I miss these days where I just got to sit and enjoy the sea and watch the fish and the gulls.” She giggled to herself and rolled her head to the left and let it come back ending up casting her gaze down to the reel of her pole. slowly lifting her head as her thoughts danced about the sea and how she would love to sail on a ship and sail the world and to prove herself on the grand line. Her eyes caught a school of fish around her line. Normally she would of tried entice them to take the bait but she was out here to relax and have a quite day and it was indeed shaping up to be one. She felt a strong wind coming and smiled securing her pole between two boards and placed her hands on the pier lifting her legs up quickly and her feet landed on the pier with a slap.
Slowly raising herself bending forward sticking her ass out. Her hands trailed up her legs as she stood up then to her fest and she unbuttoned it slowly and slid it off. She left the vest fall behind her as she turned towards the wind and from her back two large white angelic wings spread as she lifted her arms and felt the spray of the ocean on her face as the wind runs through her fingers and her feathers. As the wind dies down a third wing raised up from the center of her back. She bows her head and slowly lowers to one knee putting her back up to the sky above as the wind softly went through her wings a few feathers slipped of and danced tangling around with the wind as it trailed off. This was her little secret it was only on days like this that she was able to let them out and stretch them. she enjoyed feeling the wind in them. her arms wrapped around her bent knee as her head turned to the side and rested against the side of her leg as she continued to listen to the gulls. “Ahh relaxed.” Her wings slowly came around her and covered her in white feathers. her third wing laid flat against her back making her a little white ball of feathers as the sun beat down making her a white ball on the dock to any ships that could see it.
But show slowly uncurled her wings and twisted in a spiral as her wings wrapped around her. ounce she was on her tip toes her wings opened again and she stretched her arms out once more tilting her head back turning her face to the sky. The black hat upon her head feel of and rolled off her center wing and then hit the ground with a thunk. she then bent to the side and lifted her leg and touched the pier with her left hand smiling still enjoying the freedom she had on this pier no one really came to it and she was the only one who fished off it. This location had very few fish so it let her just play and enjoy her day away from others. spinning on her one foot then lowered it so her back was to the water. Straightening her back she smiled at the jungle of palm trees she was looking at then kicked one leg back bending forward and did a back flip kicking her vest up into the air as she pulled her wings back in landing on her feet she reached up as the vest slipped onto her arm and she flicked her arm back and pulled her vest on and then buttoned it up and bent over grabbing her hat off the wood and flipped it up and pulled it onto her head straightening it then adjusted her hair and then shook her head as her hair cascaded and trailed along her back hiding the bulge of her vest from her wings.

Seth had about 2 more cups after he finished the third. He said “That will be enough.” Seth got up. “If I have too much, then I won’t enjoy as much the next time.” He smiles at the bartender and thanks her, then sees the man now living again. Seth raises an eyebrow. She must be a fruit user. Seth watches with a little pity for the man, however he smiles and then says to him “I cannot say much friend. You are dead. However, I hope you may take Solace in the fact that I will give you a burial.”
Seth goes outside for a moment and starts sweeping up the ashes into separate bags. Some people wonder why he would bother disposing of the remains of just two marines and others can understand this rather odd man in a sense. Seth finds a mop in the corner and sets the two bags of ash down in the corner as he leans up against a wall as he watches the scene go down with a now neutral face. As far as Seth was concerned. This man had figuratively dug his own grave.
-
-Tanakami smirked and heard her new crew member speak and said, “Yeah, I am gonna call him grave digger. He is going to dig your grave! KISHISHI~!” She couldn’t help but laugh. The poor zombie did not know what to do about this. He stared at the ashes. Tanakami looked at him and said, “In a way you are technically alive, but I would suggest you sail with me. Otherwise, I will remove the soul and let him bury this one too.”
The undead marine wanted to shake his head but he reluctantly agreed to prolong life. She smiled and then turned and said, “Now, let’s go to the boat that started this mess. Unless you want me at the burial, your choice.”
She didn’t care either way. She held a firm smile with all her sharp teeth exposed. She chuckled then and crossed her arms under her breasts, just an automatic thing for her since she didn’t want them just hanging there.-

“No, need, Captain.” Seth says as hangs the bags on his shovel and walks out the bar. “I will be back. This won’t take long” Seth then runs off for a bit. Then returns in about 4 minutes to his new captain.
When he returns, he remembers something. He has not introduced himself yet. “Captain! I have almost forgotten, I have not yet told you my name! If you want you can call me grave digger, however, my name, is Seth.” Seth grins in a rather friendly way as he looks at the young girl. “And what is your name, or what shall I call you?” Seth smiles warmly at the young lady.
-
-Tanakami raised an arm past her breast and brushed her purple hair behind her ear. She spoke firmly, “Aight, I am Gecko Tanakami, but just use my first name. Besides, I don’t want to share my father’s fame.” She laughed a bit then said, “I do want to find his ship, though. But only after we get a couple more members.” She smiled and started walking to her dinghy. “So, other than shoveling, what can you do? You’ve seen what I can do.”
The zombie marine followed her hesitantly and thought about making a run for it. Instead, he followed them and stayed silent. He didn’t know what to do or if he should be doing this. So he made a run for it. Tanakami heard the footsteps and pulled the shadow out of it then placed it back in, the body reawakening then following her since he got the hint she was not kidding around.-
-
He started walking with his shovel rested on his shoulders. “General labor.” Seth comments. “I was chopping wood today in fact.” He says spinning his shovel on his finger then flicking it up to catch it. “I also fight of course. I would say I am physically honed. I have trained and worked for much of my life! I have never lost a bar fight, however, I cannot say I have fought a skilled opponent more then one time.” Seth looks at his right hand for a long time….
When the marine catches up from his attempt to run Seth laughs loudly and smacks his back playfully. Accidentally sending the man off his feet about 17 feet away and dragging against the ground in front of him. Seth’s eyes are closed as he laughs openly and loudly, and so he does not seem to yet notice. He stops when the woman speaks still smiling.
-
-Tanakami saw the marine fly when hit and she laughed. She was pleased with his list of skills and then decided to ask, “You think once we get a bigger boat or my father’s that we can, perhaps, rebuild? It is destroyed as far as anyone can tell. Ever heard of Thriller Bark?” She thought she would ask as they got to the pier. Her dinghy was there sitting next to a large marine ship. She looked at it and then the ship and smirked, “Think we should take mine or should we take theirs? We can dispatch the rest of them and paint it whatever colors we want.”
She liked the thought of the bigger ship but then the thought came to her, “Can we even run it with just us? I mean, I can use my own shadow and the captured shadow but that makes five hands and that is… a decent ship.”-
-
“I do recall that it was a giant ship located in the….Florian channel, if I recall. That was your father’s?” Seth asks. They then come up on a ship. Their small dingy or the marine’s larger boat. Seth’s reply, as it often is. Is simple. “Tis your choice captain. I do not mind rowing a dingy. Nor would I mind taking the ship from the marines. But 5 hands seems like it can be enough to me.” Seth cracks the knuckles of his left hand.
-
-Tanakami smirked and said, “I got a plan…” She turned to the zombie marine who, luckily, still looked alive except for the stitching on his neck and she said, “Bind my hands. Seth, stand at the ready and if you can, hang on the side of the ship. I will get taken partially to the brig then boom~! Inside and outside attack. I will laugh very loud when I am in, sound like fun?”
The zombie marine bound her hands and prepared to take her on board. Tanakami smirked and said, “You can take anyone on deck, if I pass someone, I will take their shadows. If the deck is clear, then head in.” The zombie marine made sure it was tight then waited for her say to go. Tanakami wanted to know what her first mate thought of the plan.-
-
“Haha! A very underhanded plan. It sounds like fun! “I am ready!” He runs over to the side of the ship and jumps on it’s side, and plunges his shovel into the small crease between the plants of wood on the ship. Seth hangs onto the side of the ship and simply gives Gecko a thumbs up. He is ready when she is.
-
-Tanakami nodded and then let the zombie marine take her on board. She looked at the men on board and gave a sick smile. The marines looked at her then the marine with the stitching on his neck. They said, “Are you alright?!”
The marine faked it, “Yes! And I caught the deadly pirate that belonged to that dinghy we found. She killed the other two.”
The marines nodded, one of them headed inside. On a quick scan, there was eleven on deck, now ten because one went to call in the catch. She was taken downstairs and she silently stole shadows as she walked by men. By the time they reached the brig and the cell was open, she’d collected five shadows. She then took in a deep breath and laughed as loud as she could, the marines freezing to its sound, “KI SHI SHI!”
She used the shadows as physical power and snapped through the restraints and busted the one marine in the jaw before sprinting through the below deck. This caused the five she took shadows from to follow her and she hoped Seth was killing before she got up there so when she ran out, there wouldn’t be as many anymore and the five could turn to ash unseen.-

Seth jumpes high into the air smiling. He was in the direction of the sun. So while he is in the air, light shines in their eyes. “What the heck is that?” He comes down smashing one marine’s head then immediately chops into one’s shoulder blade and towards his heart to kill him. Taking two out already.
One marine backs up with a gun as the others look as the others look at him in fear drawing swords and the others gun. One charges at him and slashes with his sword. Only for catch it with his metal hand and then snaps it like a twig. “You will need better blade then that!” Seth smacks him in the temple with the serrated edge of his shovel to kill him then folds his shovels spade mechanically to make a shield as he blocks two blades at once.
he grabs both blades with his mechanical hand. Crushes them, rips them away and bashes another in his face with the spade to kill him. Then kicks the other into 5 more men to bowl them over. He jumps over the group and hops on a marine’s head with the gun.
Seth raises his shovel as he shoots seth towards the head. Seth blocks it with the shovel as he unfolds the shovel and slashes into the man’s head.
He punches the marine behind him 100 feet into the air as he hesitates. Then runs to the 6 marines as they look scramble to get up all too late.
*SLASH SLASH SLASH SLASHSLASHSLASH* Seth cuts them down with his shovel his hand moving rapidly as he runs by in strokes not unlike a swordsman’s and they all drop in a few seconds.
“Ah Captain Tanakami!” The marine he uppercutted faceplants. “How nice of you to join me!” A marine gets up with a gash in his chest and tries a slash on seth. To which Seth simply turns stops his sword in between his two fingers on his right hand. “I was just finishing up here.” Seth moves the sword aside and headbutts the marine in the nose causing him to fly dragging back in his bloodied as he lets go of his blade and bleeds out from the wound.
Seth wipes blood from his forehead. “It took a bit longer then expected. They put a good fight. But they would need a fruit or much, much more training to have a chance against the likes of me!” Seth says with a smirk happy with his accomplishment.
-
-Tanakami saw that they had been dispatched and she laughed. “You are a fuckin show off! I love it!” She proceeded her statement with a laugh, “KI SHI SHI SHI~!” Her hair seemed to flair up as she threw her head back. She then remembered something. She counted and looked over faces and said, “Where’s the… ooooh~!”
She walked to the cabin on deck and kicked the door open. The marine was cowering under a desk with the snail phone in hand. He looked up and said, “Oh god… I am gonna die!”
Tanakami smirked and knelt down, as she grabbed the marine by the throat and sunk her nails into his windpipe, letting him drown on his own blood. As he gurgled on his own blood she heard the snail phone relay what the other end was saying, “Hello?! HELLO?! DAMN IT!”
Tanakami picked up the phone and said, “Hello marine. You don’t know us… but we know you. You stepped onto our territory and we won’t take lightly to that. Hear that man gurgling? That was a very generous death. We will be in the shadows, lurking and killing as you dare tread in our path. Better fuck off now… KI SHI SHI SHI SHI!”
The snail phone relayed a dropping noise as the marine on the other side dropped it. She took the snail phone up and dropped it over the side with a sickly grin, a light breeze picking up her hair as her brows furrowed. She then turned to Seth and said, “Let’s set sail. Should I make some of these zombies? I have six shadows I can pass around.”
Her already zombie came out and looked at the carnage. He sighed and went to start cleaning up the mess and get the ship ready to sail.-
-
“That would be wise. That seems like the best thing to do! I am sure they would not object.” Seth laughed a bit and sticks the shovel on the floor and leans on it as it extends up to under his arm. Maybe he could add a gun to this thing. A long needle or spike two beneath the top of the spade, so that when he unfolded it, it would reveal the long slender needle spike. It would be thick and sharp. Perhaps being able to inject things. Perhaps he can find a blacksmith somewhere to make it. He already grinned to himself as he had the schematics thought up in his head. Just like how he knew the inner workings of his metal hand, like the back of his hand. Maybe not a gun, but a long needle for stabbing and maybe climbing. He could already use this thing like a grappling hook too already…
Seth looked at the dead men and smirked. So this is what being a pirate is going to be like. Seth walks over to the front of the boat and leans on the edge as he looks our to see. This seems like the life for me. Even if I wanted to turn back, I couldn’t! Seth smiles as he looks out. No regrets.
-
-Tanakami spread out her shadows to the bodies that were most in tact. She then yelled out, “WE’RE SETTING SAIL! ANY RUNNERS AND YOU WILL GO BACK INTO THE ICEY GRIP OF DEATH!” The dead marines got to work on setting sail. She smirked and said, “Hey, Seth, you will be my first mate. As an honor for being such, pick a direction to go in!” She was overly excited and hopped up to the helm, feeling the wheel. She was very, very excited and kept laughing loudly.-
