-Axel listened through the rest of the conversation thinking that after the first time he shouldn’t speak again so after Heiwa stopped talking to Mako he excused himself and walked out of the bar sticking near the entrance as he stretched knocking over a human when he held out his hand to help but the human simply crawled away before running. Axel sighed and turned making his way around town looking for the woman in red.-

[Silver]

She was talking with someone at a stall when they stopped and their eyes got big she looked behind her expecting marines or something to be frightened of but it was simply the fish she wished to speak with. Silently she walked to him and reached into her pocket and fiddled with the pouch that rested in it. “You see I need to make a trip back home, but my little craft won’t get me there at least not tell it is done recharging.” She said and waved him to follow her having just pulled her hand out of her pocket and used two fingers to make her movements subtle as to not draw attention. “If you could or if you had a craft that could make it to my home I will see to it that you are most well taken care of and I will compensate you however I can be it money or someone to travel with.” She said her voice was low and she didn’t like some of the stares that she was getting it made her feel like she was back home.

-Axel looked the girl up and down after she spoke her piece “I have a ship that can get us to the grand line and back if that’s your wish but once I have fulfilled my part you will have to make a choice to help me gather others for my crew”. He made a motion for her to follow him as he turned on the spot heading towards stalls he would begin picking up barrels of rum and cola stacking them till he had ten barrels held tightly. He had the sail clerk reach into his pocket and fetch the money and the person was younger so they were all for the peace between the races so they didn’t try and rip him off. He lead the girl to his craft before going below deck and stacking the barrels carefully before he tied them up tightly. He came back up”where is your craft so we can take it with us”. He would listen for its location before he went to fetch it with a large rope he would tie it so that it would trail behind his craft. He would then go to the boat and give it a slight push to get it moving before he ran and leaped onto the boat easily. He would let the boat coast till they got out to open sea then opened the sails and the wind caught them and off they went on there first journey hopefully expecting many more.-

When the open seas are hit, it will begin to rain a bit. The wind is blowing at 10 MPH to the southwest and there are ships coming in from the distance. There are four of them, one to the south east of the ship is a marine vessel. It is engaged in combat with the vessel directly south of the ship. The other two vessels are slightly east, they are both at combat with one another. The skies in the direction the ship is headed appears to have dark clouds. It seems the main form of combat is taking place over long range and the vessels are showing potential that if they spot the boat holding the fishman and the skypian upon it, they could very well turn and fire. There is no visible sign of fruit users nor of there being any of the unspoken nor high marines.

She watched him buy and carry the barrels his sheer strength did not surprise her but the fact he had such a large ship without any armaments surprised her. As he was pushing the ship out to sea she pointed over to her little weaver which had 5 cannons floating around it. “That right there would be my little ship not much but she gets me around.” She said she hadn’t answered the other part of his statement or question she wasn’t quite sure what it was at this point but it was important to do so. Bowing her head she sat on the deck of his ship then slipped her coat off and opened her large red wings letting the air fill them lifting her up a second then shifted them so she didn’t get carried away on the wind and let them rest naturally behind her. “If you help me find that which I seek the debt I will owe you will not be able to be repaid. So How about I be the start of the crew you are building. I’m not as useless as I appear.” She said with a smile and walked past the sail and opened her wings feeling the wind flow through her feathers again. “Might want to cut it to half-mast you will get better speeds and maneuverability that way.”

[Cain]

-Axel nodded to her once he saw her form thought she might be more reliable then a simple human “if you wish to join my crew just know death is real possibility as we will be targeting the fleet admerial of the marines. I do not know of the sword which you spoke of but if we come across information on it ill help you gain this item”. He saw the storm coming as well as the ships were coming in sight so he sighed going below deck and grabbing his twin swords before returning” don’t go anywhere and don’t do anything stupid” and jumping in the water he shot off like a bullet with such force that his craft would be pulled with him for a few feet but it would stay out of range of cannon fire. Axel got closer before jumping out of the water being not noticed because of the battle he saw there were four ships three of such looked like pirates none of them looked that strong so he ran and jumped into the water holding the blades out in front of himself the points together he spun a horrifying speed and began charging the pirate ships piercing through each of them easily. He would find the two fish man who were chained and easily broke them before swimming up to the surface and climbing onto the deck of the marine ship “your welcome, I ended this conflict for you, I wish for no harm to come to the two fishman I freed and any treasure I can find down there I will split with you marines as payment for the conflict I ended.

[Lord English]

The pirates of which were sunk all started to swim towards land. One of the freed fishmen started to swim away. The other turned and attacked the men who had captured him, grabbing one of the pirates from beneath and ripping them apart. When Axel got onto the marine ship, some of the men were tense. Their captain came forward and was a Sand Devil Shark Fishman, he looked at Axel with a smirk and noticed the mark of the sun pirates but did not alert his men. As he spoke, several rows of teeth in his mouth were exposed, “I would thank you kindly, but my men here seem to be a little wary of you.” His skin was dark across the top and he had various points which stuck out, making him need to wear his jacket over his shoulders. He gazed with sharp eyes at Axel, hints of there just being black and white in his eyes. He continued, “If that is what you wish to do, I will thank you. If you go back on it, I will be sure you bleed.” He took a sniff at the ocean and saw that the one angered fishman in the water had bloodied it pretty bad. This caused the captain’s pupils to dilate but it was clear he could maintain his composure. They hadn’t taken notice of Axel’s vessel or the bird woman upon it. However, one of the men swimming back to shore tried to climb onto the boat. The person was ripped down off the boat, causing it to rock a bit from the fishman ripping the flailing human from the ship.

[Silver]

She turned looking to the battle then saw how quickly it ended as the pirate ships sank. Looking to the blood that seemed to quickly form in the water she blinked. “oh this is not.” As soon as the boat tipped to one side she pushed off the deck with grace letting the warm air current lift her into the air and then beat her wings looking down at the blood at was forming near the ship. “Oh this is not good.” Sticking her hands inside her coat she gripped two of her pistols and just waited. She would not hesitate to fire she had learned to fight in the air so this was nothing new to her and she watched with a smile. Glancing to the marines she had heard stories of them and how they mistreat other ships she wasn’t sure what to make of them yet herself as she knew from experience that just because something is said does not make it true.

[Cain]

-Axel sheathed both blades when he saw the sand devil shark and with a smirk he nodded to him before he looked to each of his men showing his long fangs” I don’t plan to hurt your humans just wish to get my payment and be on my way as I dont want to be on the sea in this area if there are pirates about, your leader tends to be a little hot headed when pirates are mentioned”. He saw the blood and his eyes dilated at the smell though when it started towards his boat he wasn’t going to have it. He grabbed a rope that was on the deck of the marine ship and jumped back into the water and swam at top speed after the cat fish not in time to prevent the pirates death but not to long after. He tried to tie up the cat fish to stop its rampage as it didn’t seem to realize who was enemy and friend. If Axel caught it he would drag the fish to the bottom before speaking to it” calm the hell down before the marines think you there enemy because if that happens ill end your life or the sand devil will do the job”.-

[Lord English]

The captain of the marines nodded at his words then watched Axel nab a rope and take off to the blood. The marines were about to hop in after him but the Sand Devil placed a hand out as he simply watched. He voiced to his men, “One move and you’ll be bait for him. I want to see how this plays out.” The catfish was startled when the ‘human’ on the ship above was suddenly with wings and flying, clear that this fish had never seen a skypian before. Before the fish could lash out, Axel would catch him and drag him down to the bottom all tied up. He heard what Axel said and just glared at him, “Why the hell are you defending the humans? Isn’t it clear that despite being asked to no longer show hate to one another that they are clearly still showing hate towards our kind? And now they are sprouting random ass wings!” He pointed his head back to the marine ship, “And that sand devil is clearly a traitor to our kind. Siding with those who want everything that isn’t like them dead…” He growled a bit though his teeth were not nearly as menacing as a shark’s. His whiskers flowed around him though, giving him a serious look. He was a big fella, and pent up in rage as he flailed to get loose from the rope bindings and making them fray.

[Silver]

Hovering she watched noticing all the sudden Axel popping up in the water near the ship then the catfish who seemed ready to jump from the water get drug down she couldn’t tell what was going on but they two disappeared and she landed once the boat had settled and released the pistols and stood there. She looked off to the distance at the ship and saw they were not moving. She shifted her wings letting them rest comfortably behind her. She stood silently waiting for Axel hoping everything would be alright. She then smiled and decided to set sail towards the marine vessel.

[Cain]

-Axel grew pissed at the fishman who spoke low of a fellow shark before he yanked up his shirt to display the sun pirate crest on his shirt” If you dare to speak ill of a fellow shark again ill slit your throat and leave you here to be eaten by fish, I defend humans as this is only the fault of a few so you should not hate them as a whole”. Axel raised his blade pointing strait at the cat fishes head before swinging it cutting the ropes free of him and swimming off to catch up with his ship which he gave a push to faster move towards the marines. He would jump on the deck ignoring the bird as they coating close enough to the marines to be in shouting distance” Im going to dive if that’s alright captain your welcome to join me as that cat fish should be far gone at this point or one of your crew can dive if you have the gear and ill let them choose any reward they wish from the bottom for there courage”. Axel laid down both swords and walked to the edge of his ship and leaped back out but before he hit the water” leave my bird alone…”. Axel sank strait towards the bottom and began searching through the three ships.-

“Aye, aye.” Carina replied to Captain Bedros with her confident and optimistic grin. Becoming a good Marine shouldn’t be too hard, since she certainly had no intention of being a bad Marine like whoever had just got demoted. The girl was very curious about what the officer had done to get demoted but wasn’t curious enough to question the head honcho of the base about it. I’ll find out sooner or later, I suppose now that I’m being sent into the lion’s den.

Immediately after the Rear Admiral gave her a solemn warning about whoever was waiting inside, Carina gave a smile and a salute, “Alright then, I’ll go get those papers checked over, sir!” before heading over to the door of the office. The girl schooled her cheerfully determined expression into a neutral, calm expression. For angry or depressed people, seeing someone overtly happy could easily set them off since misery loves company. She grasped the handle and eased the door open neither slowly enough to show that she was anxious at all about the warning, but not as exuberantly as she normally would. The last thing she wanted was to fling the door open and cause a bunch of cracks in the wall or worse, hit someone.

Once she got a few steps inside the door, Carina casually approached the officer within. “Hello there, I have some papers that need to be checked for a ship licensed for umn.. Captain Bedros something something Yahto.”

If Bedros really entered the Grand Line every two weeks or so, then hopefully the procedure would be routine and not cause too much of a fuss. Still, she decided to wait to give the office the vehicle registration papers to check until she was sure he wouldn’t tear them up or do anything crazy like that. Please just act like a professional and do your job. /em> Carina thought to herself, hoping that the Rear Admiral was just going overboard with his warnings.

[Lord English]

The catfish’s whiskers seemed to want to flare from their bindings as fear entered his eyes, he’d spoken the wrong words to the wrong fish. He remained silent as he felt the blade close to his scales and closed his eyes, thinking that this brethren was bound to end his existence to never redeem his hate to those undeserving of it. Then his tethers were loosed and he could move, he opened his eyes to be free once more. Now calmer and in his right of mind, he would nod to the sharp-toothed scaled savior and swim at his top speeds to retreat from the location and head home. He would be required to follow the trail of the other who had fled before, as he had been raised on that ship.
The captain of the marine vessel’s eyes slit as thin as they could go as he locked onto the vessel his sudden helper had appeared from. He took in a deep breath as he was going to ask his men to investigate but then he saw it move faster. His presumption was that this was his sandpaper fleshed ‘friend’ moving the vessel towards them. His men seemed antsy but he fanned his fingers out and placed his palm towards his men with his arm to the side. “Stand down,” His voice boomed like a drum to his men, “He is our friend from earlier.” As the vessel moved closer, his eyes would lock onto the human on his boat. Then the wings became appearent and he took a deep sniff through his nose, she must have been from that sky place. It was no bother to him but she did look like a flying happy meal. His eyes were locked until Axel began to speak, shifting his pupils as they dilated slightly to appear normal. He was more than ready to dive in with this new found friend, but the thought of rewarding a member for their bravery sated a sort of sadistic desire that had been welling in him for some time. He turned his head to his crew and looked carefully among them.
His entire crew was frightened but the one crewmember seemed to be quivering more so than the rest and even hiding in the back. As the captain strode towards this frightened sheep, his fangs were bared in a twisted smile. He placed his hand upon the man’s shoulder, webbing rounding his shoulder and picking up the shaking. A nasty smell assaulted the captain’s nose but a recognizable one, that of his own men’s urine from their fear of him. This only made him more certain of choosing this human for the task as he spoke with direction, “Gear up, you’re swimming with sharks.”
The captain noticed the human would not move, the smile fading as not even a word was uttered beyond the chattering teeth. The Sand Devil then raised his hand from the shoulder to see the man run to go gather the gear, the sick smile returning. He flicked his eyes over to his other men as he demanded, “Move and you will all be permanently demoted to shark bait…” They all froze in their tracks, not even daring to do their duties. This only made him smile more, the vibrations felt of the geared human attempting to flee in the water. The captain only seemed more sadistic as he waited for him to start swimming away a bit. He pulled his coat off and let the wind catch it a bit as it floated to the ground, his muscles flexing as he wore a set of black pants. His feet slid out of his modified shoes as he took a running start to the closest edge of the ship and leapt in. He soared through the water as he caught up to the human quickly, grasping him by his oxygen tank in his hand. The human yelped loud enough that the air escaped his mouth but he swiftly got it back in.
“Our friend and your reward is this way,” The Sand Devil began to drag the human backwards towards where Axel was swimming. There were many more than just the three ships Axel had sunk, it appeared that before Axel had arrived that the marines and pirates were sinking each other. In plain view was six pirate ships that had suffered and two marine vessels. There were some chests visible from their busted storages but only the pirates’ vessels seemed to hold the valuable shiny objects. The captain made sure to not release the human until he was in between himself and Axel.
In the distance, both sharks would feel the vibrations of an oncoming being. It was swimming and certainly fast enough to be a fishman. The being stopped as soon as it could see the dot which was the marine captain, though it saw Axel and most definite he could see her clearly. The spines of the porcupine puffer stuck up as she gazed at the situation, she moved lower to the ocean floor to distance herself from the eyesight of the males.

Bedros and Jango remained outside of the door and commenced in chatter the moment Carina was inside the door. The tone of their voices were soft for no one to hear but seemed serious in nature.
The poor man reduced to running papers glared as Carina entered his new office. He listened to her words and reached to acquire the papers. He sighed as the words came slopping from his mouth, “Bedros again… Must he always be let through?” He took out a stamp and didn’t place it onto the paper, muttering, “Always in and out and in and out… The fucks a guy doing making so many trips for fishing… Couldn’t he just stay longer and get more fish? Is he afraid they’ll spoil or something?!” He stamped it and almost through the paper and said, “Take his friggin papers.” He then placed his head on his desk. “Go… away…”
It was clear the two outside heard him in there and silenced themselves. They had a serious look on their faces and Bedros took out a note, passing it to Jango from sleeve to sleeve in a seeming handshake. Whenever Carina would return, they would appear to be smiling and return their hands to their sides.

She was adjusting the sails as she held the ropes feeling the wind as it blew, controlling the speed of the ship. She then felt the ship shoot forward as wrapped her arms in the ropes to keep from getting knocked over. She was jerked and she held the rope tight to keep on her feet. Once the ship slowed and Axel hopped onto the deck she twisted and was still twisted up in the ropes and holding them now leaning against the mast wearing next to nothing and it didn’t seem to bother her. She closed her eyes sighing. “Alright well that’s one way to do it.” Turning and looking to the marines she undid her arms. The rope having left deep red marks on her arms. Walking to the side of the ship she kicked her legs over swaying them and smiling watching the marines. Turning her head to Axel. “If you find anything that might interest me let me know I would love to get it.” She then watched him hop out into the water and sighed. She saw how the captain looked at her and shook her head. She smiled at the marines and lifted her hand waving her fingers at them.
