"Ho Ho... nice try," the giant said, taking one large step towards them and closing the gap between them fairly quickly. He must have made an odd sight- a slightly blue-skinned, completely bald giant in a summery mushroom Aloha shirt and bright red shorts. Did we mention the utility belt? "But there is no bear!" The giant announced, as if a detective who had just made a particularly flabbergasting deduction. He said all this while gently putting the kangaroo down. (Unfortunately, his foot was last seen on a descending path towards the bear. Let us all pray for said beary.) "KERSHISHISHI... Ching! Try again! Who did this to Joey?" |

Wait a minute… I didn’t do anything to the kangaroo… why am I running? And with this logic, Len slowed down, and began to walk at his usual pace. He heard quick steps behind him, only to see that the Nick kid was following him too and behind him, THUD, THUD, THUD, were the giant’s feet. Actually, for a giant, this one wasn’t that big, if need be, it would be possible to take him out. But why start a fight for no reason, he had his spear, the rest of this was no concern to his. Finally speaking up, he mumbled to Nick, “Just go to town, I’ll handle this quick.” Then he faced the giant, who was towering nearly fifteen feet over him, “Maybe the bear ran away, I don’t know. Besides, if you stand around here trying to figure out who did that to the roo, you won’t be able to save her. So what do you want to do? Waste your time looking for someone you can’t find, or save a poor animal?” Either way, I’m gone. Len gave one piercing look, turned around, and headed back to town; “By the way,” he called back to the giant, “watch where you’re stepping, you never if you might accidentally step on a rabbit or something…” |

Nick was silent and didn't say a word fo awhile. He nodded agreeing with everything Len was saying seeing it make perfect sense. Wow, this guy is a good negotiator, he's getting us out of this, wow. He's a great fighter and now communicator, this guy has more leadership qualities than I thought...wow. "Yeah, what he said Mister." Nick didn't want to admit he brought both the Roo and Kangeroo down when he saw who was defending them. I wonder does he like to fight...he probably loves to kill. Why couldn't Len beat the damn Roo. |

"KERSHISHISHISHISHI," the giant boomed, but the laughter seemed less... sincere. His hand reached inside one of the big pouches in his utility belt, and despite the massive size of his hand he managed to extract a single normal (for humans at least) sized mushroom. Crushing it between two fingers he sprinkled the stuff onto the kangaroo. "Animal cruelty is not a laughing matter," he said seriously. "It is Injustice." He closed his pouch, the lid closing with a small 'click'. His face turned truly fearsome as he frowned. Then he laughed again, though grimly. "And I... I do not like Injustice." This moment of Gog-seriousness was shattered when there came a groaning sound behind him and Gog's eyes popped straight out of his head (literally- the optic nerve was visible and all) as he craned his head to look back and see a heavily injured bear. "Ahhhh!! Poo-Bear! What have they done to you!" Rushing over towards the said bear he actually forgot about the two others for a moment. |

Like I said… not my problem. Len thought and continued on his path toward town. Actually, he was basically out of the forest already, he could see the buildings begin to shape, and the path became an actual road. He walked along side Nick, muttering to him, “weird day eh? Actually, if you don’t mind me asking, what’s a devil fruit user doing on this crummy ol island?” (Couldn’t’ think of much…. We’re gonna need Dev soon) |

Nick sighed as he walked next to Len, happy he was out that crazy forest and out of danger...so it seemed. "Well, it's complicated. I met, well saw some Pirates awhile back and they looked so happy, looked like they enjoyed there lives and everything. They weren't grumpy, evil, pirates. Just regular ol' Pirates leaving the Pirate life for all it offered. From that day I wanted to become a Pirate, so awhile ago I set off to find some Pirates. All the ones I found didn't offer the things I looked for, so I pressed on and got to Ikumo Island. When I heard you yell Blitz Pirates, I was thinking maybe you had a crew. I was wrong...and now we're here." He replied looking at the sky. "What about you? What was that Blitz Pirate thing all about eh?" OOC: Tags still don't work or anything. I bolded everything since that makes it easier to read.

After hearing Nick’s synopsis of his life (or at least parts of it) Len couldn’t help but grin in amusement. How long has it been since people considered pirates so free and wonderful? Back a hundred years ago, to be called a pirate was synonymous with being a walking dead man. Gol D. Roger really did change the world. He struck the nail l, while Luffy and crew hammered it in. Who knows, maybe the next one to change the world could be walking amongst us right now… Back to reality, Len hurried his steps upon reaching the cobblestone of the town. The breezes that came now were undisturbed by the trees of the forest, and ruffled his hair quite nicely. It took a while before he drummed up a response to Nick, he did seem like a fine guy, but what to say? Finally, after a brief silence (tad awkward too) Len answered, “Oh, I’m just here by chance. And the Blitz… well the Blitz Pirates are my future. I’ve decided to throw in my lot with a handful of strangers who I haven’t met yet, but will meet.” Pushing open the tavern doors, Len spotted a few empty seats here near the corner of the table. Apparently, the villagers only lingered their gauzes at him for a few moments, his spear caught their attention but didn’t hold it. Walking over to the table, he looked over at Nick for a second and chuckled, “Actually, it’s not really as complicated as that. I’m a pirate, and I need a crew.” |

Ah so he's a Pirate with a dream, that's good. I guess all Pirates start off that way. "So now you're a Pirate with a dream eh?" Nick said chuckling. "I know looking for a crew must be challenging, filling all those positions and everything." Nick continued, while sitting down in the chair. "Well, you seem to be a great fighter, what else can you do? Can you organize a crew? Can you manage a crew? Can you manage being a Captain? Do you even have a ship?" Nick asked rapidly wanting to know more about Len's hopes and dreams. Nick softly tapped his ears as he asked Len these questions, but he was so interested and just wanted to know. I wonder is this what I've been looking for? Has a miracle been sent to me? Instead of a corrupted, evil, or good crew have I been sent one that hasn't started. Maybe it's Len and I destiny to meet, maybe I should join up with Len. Will he have me part of his crew...nah. I'm just a 16 year old with a dream like him, what can I offer. Nick thought. It was probably his wishful thinking clouding his mind and thoughts during this thinking someone like Len would or could use him as a shipmate. |

Meanwhile........... The parrot flew over a a figure hidden in the shadow. The figure opened his eyes. It's dark outline massive as its eyes opened. No features of its body could be made out. The massive figured growled out to the parrot who looked terrified. "Who dare bother Beast King Gato..." The parrot shook a little before answering. "Awk, humans, two of them, Awk, beat us, took out shineies! Awk forgive us we tried!" The large outline laughed shaking a bit. Its eyes narrowed as he started to stand. "Gato deal with humans himself. Ape Ape come too! Human's no stand chance against us." The large creature started to move out of his cave. It headed right to town where the two men where waiting at the bar. It would be there soon. |

Len was a bit taken back by Nick’s abrasiveness. He was barraged by questions left and right, can you do this, and what about that, what are your plans, how come you’re so awesome… (Okay, maybe one of them is a lie… maybe). Nick’s mouth didn’t look like it would ever stop, and just when Len was about to politely excuse himself… the sudden landslide of inquiries stopped. Whew! Gatheing himself, Len had to decide how much he actually wanted to say? What part would he keep to himself, what part would he reveal? It was only a matter of time until Nick started edging over to the more personal questions… but until then, there was no point to hold anything back. “Yes I an fight, I can sing, and I can even dance. As for the whether I can be a good captain or not, I dunno, I never managed a crew. But it doesn’t matter much, in this vast sea, there’s gotta be someone who wants to join me, right?” he added in with a chuckle. The last question bothered him a bit though, “well, I don’t have a ship, but things will work out, they always do. Whether I’m meant to or not, I will fin-… I mean, I will sail the seas.” Almost revealed a bit too much there. |

This guys really has nothing but a dream...how can he just sit there so calmly without worries. Nick pondered on that thought, thinking that's all he wanted in a crew. Just to be able to sit calmly...without worries or anything. To sail the vast seas with friends who have fun times and bad times...and all times. "Yup. I guess someone will join you. Hopefully someone will I hate to see dreams crushed.." Nick said chuckling. "Well you need money to buy a ship...how much does one cost maybe I can pitch in. All I ask is you get me to the next island or something, maybe?" Nick asked simply. Maybe I myself could join his crew...I'm very good with money. "Hey, Len what positions do you think you need to fill for the Blitz?" |

OOC: You said “hey Blu” <_<... Either Nick was feigning interest, or he really was interested. And if he had even offered to pay for the ship, Len gathered that it was the latter. “Nah, thanks anyway though. I have a feeling the ship won’t be a problem. Something in my gut, don’t know, but I’ll just go with it this time. But you're free to stick around with me till the next island if you want.” He gave Nick a piercing look, searching him for a second until he finally said, “Actually, I have no one with me so far, I need an everything,” he finished, laughing joyously. |

"An everything eh?" Nick laughed. "I don't know where you can find those, but I know you're gonna need a Cook, Shipwright, Quartermaster, and probably a Marksman to fire cannons. I dunno, I have no idea how to run a ship neither do I want to." Nick looked around the area he and Len were sitting in. All he saw was people and table, not out of the ordinary or interesting. It was unlike him to stop his motor mouth...but he did. The silence between he and Len once again got ackward. I hate ackward silences...they make me angry. And I feel wierd and scared... "Soo...now what!? Sitting here does us no good does it? Where to Len?" Nick asked his eyes looking at the ground. This @#&*% probably should get a J-O-B. He's hoping to get money out the sky for a ship...come on! |

Len just nodded absentmindedly to Nick’s response, something about a ship and a cook… wait a minute, I’m hungry… he remembered, placing one hand on his stomach to quell the rumbling feeling. He quickly beckoned one of the waitresses forth, time to start eating. In response to Nick though, “First we eat. Then we find out whats going on with the whole shiny things thing… and then we eat some more!” He grinned at Nick, heh, something about this kid… he didn’t seem that bad. |
