I has already attempted to remove their chains, but they had insisted that they keep it on in favor of getting out of the place at the earliest instant. Sorren held onto a sack with all of our expenditures, all the while looking absolutely delirious with joy. ( Probably glad that we had finally left the people filled hall.)

With a chuckle I turned around, looking at the building that held a gaudy architecture encased on white marble. The hall looked positively resplendent in the twilight, the sun's dying rays striking the pointed ceiling at an angle.

At the gate of the huge structure, a sweating Armand could be seen running towards us on his somewhat thin-ish legs. "Mr. Benefactor!! Wait !!" his gritty voice could be heard calling.

"Benefactor, I would like to thank you for allowing us the opportunity to make a stand in this half decennial event, you have given my family the chance to stand on stable footing for the next five years!

Thus I must warn you, benefactor, in good faith. The master of the San Juan family is known to be a petty man who is acclaimed for taking revenge at the smallest of slights. Further the San Juan family is known to be the only family of North blue, or at least in Rubeck with support from the grand line! Thus I would like to advice you, sir to skip town at the fastest to avoid having to deal with him"

Armand said, heaving for breath while clutching at his knees. "I'll keep that in mind, thank you Gambino.." I said before making a swift turn and leading my troupe down into the city, that looked at its best during this time of twilight.

"Where to now Captain? We've already done all we should here, so back to sea is it?" Fawkes asked as we made our way into the thick of the city, the sun swiftly sinking into the horizon in the process.

"So you guys merchants?" A voice could be heard from behind me as the man we had 'purchased' asked his tone positively glowing with hope and skepticism, both in healthy proportions.

"Nah, we're pirates!" I replied, looking at the man squirm, to my surprise the previously calm and somewhat expressionless girl suddenly s.h.i.+ft to a more active mote as she began paying attention to someone other than her lover, Terrick.

A sharp intake of breath later the man could be seen leaning against the walls of a nearby house and puking into the gutters as the girl looked at us with stars in her eyes. I would not lie, that was beginning to creep me out.

So of course, as a properly decent individual I immediately looked over at our newest recruit pointing at her with a questioning look on my face.

"Let me join your crew!!!!" a sudden shriek rang through the air as she ran up to me and began pulling harshly at my clothes, she reminded me of a puppy to be honest, not like Sorren, who had his own bouts of pseudo maturity, more like Luffy, to whom if you gave a steak he would follow you for life. AKA The dangerous and annoying kind.

"No!" I said as I tried to maintain my aloof look. Looking at the other former slave made me calm down somewhat. ( I had decided to un-slave them immediately after I got them, I was only waiting to be at a place where I didn't have to care about the overly thin walls.)

"Lemme in!!" She said, now possibly balling her eyes out and laying snot all over my coral blue s.h.i.+rt in definite layers. "OI Terrick get her off me! And no, bad girl!" I said as she was pried away from me, before promptly making another attempt to run up to me.

"Let her on boss, what's the harm?" Terrick asked grinning, almost completely forgetting his face that was caked with blood.

"I Am The Captain Of a Pirate Crew, Not a babysitting service!" I roared, effectively venting the many tic shapes that had formed on my forehead.

"If you don't let me on, I'll sneak on board and hide in the sake barrels!" She threatened, effectively cowing down the rage that had been building in me and bringing smirks to both Fawkes and Sorren's giggling face, and making Terrick a.s.sume a sheepish smile.

"What is wrong with you people! This is the life of a pirate that you're talking about, why the h.e.l.l are you so keen to get in on the madness!!" A exasperated and relatively innocent East blue resident could be heard screaming at the miseries in life. Let's just ignore him….

With a whistle we could be seen entering an inn, the door swiveled and the cas.h.i.+er looked over at us, before giving up chucking a key our way and going to get a drink.

After we made it into the room I immediately flopped onto the bed and regarded the two people that had become members of our crew, plus one add on. ( I was the adult, I would not be able to maintain my patience if she threw a tantrum again…)

"So then, why don't you introduce yourself?" I said, looking at Terrick and his girlfriend. ( Would this be the time to tell you I didn't know whether they were in a relations.h.i.+p.?)

"My name is Terrick, no last name. Been in Rubeck my whole life, I was an orphan when old man San Juan picked me up off the streets. He trained me to be an a.s.sa.s.sin, and a sneak. Then he died and I was stuck serving the a.s.s hat that you all know. That's all really." He said, keeping his intro to a minimum.

"What about you, girl?" I asked, now a little less patient and more sympathetic to all the members of Luffy's crew. (he basically coerced them into joining him. Let's be honest.)

"OH, me? I am Angella the Sword shaman of Ohara.."
