The start of a crew (Open)

Markad watched as the port came into view, he didnt like it there was too much concrete, not even one tree that he could see, but as luck would have it he needed to go here, he needed to make money and he needed to get a crew. He could see a few ships in the docks and knew some of them to be pirate ships even though they had their flags down, it made sense when he thought about it after all they were pretty close to a marine base. Markad twirled his figures and the boat turned to a less populated part of the port, then he started to lower his own flag, a skull infront of a green tree a smybol that no one would recongize, but it was better to be safe than sorry.

Ten minutes later he docked in port and grabbed his staff before heading onto land, alright he thought make some money find a crew member or two then set off as soon as i can, not hard. "Excuse me" he shouted to one of the men on the port. "Where can i make some money here". The man laughed "Just try any damn cashino in town there full of people making money" he laughed again as he walked away. Markad stared after him stange fellow. He walked off the port and started down one of the many streets looking for one of these so called 'Casino', not even once seeing the man following behind him .


(open to all pirates, marines, and bounty hunters... also if the thread isnt closed and your a pirate interested in joining the crew feel free to jump in at any time)

Her laughter rung throughout the casino as she sipped her wine. The men were all so attractive. With a flick of her hand she pushed her hair back.
"It looks like I win. Hohohohohoho."
The men at her card table groan and left in a hurry. None of them wanted to pay what they owed to her. Caroline stood up and sighed. All her cute men have left before they could pay her is kisses. But she had something other than them in mind. A handsome man had come in at the docks a few minutes after her. If she could get him to bet his kisses or, she laughed a little. She had the most perfect plan.
"How wonderful!"
"Ms. Flamingo, a refill on your wine."
Caroling nodded and held her glass out to the waiter. She'd have to wait for that pirate man to show up.

Markad walked into the cashino and looked around for anything that seemed familiar, he'd never been into a cashino before and he sure as hell had never gambled, he was looking for someone who would teach him to play first and maybe help him get alittle bit of money, either way he needed to find someone who seemed plesent. The sound of laughter made him turn his head to a lone women or atleast he thought it was a women sitting at a table by herself.

Markad made his way to the table, and pulled out a seat, Mind if i sit He asked. Im new to the game and was looking for someone to teach me how to play, i can pay as long as its not too much. He reached into his jacket to and found the pocket where he kept his money was empty, he gritted his teeth knowing he'd never get it back ,someone stole it and he had no idea who. Unfortunatlly my money seems to be missing but if i can pay you any other way i would really appriciate it. He sat down and waited for an answer.

Markad still didn't notice the petty thief a few tables away who followed him from the docks and stole his money. The thief would have left long ago but he had a feeling he could get more from the man he was following.

Caroline felt a smile come to her face. He didn't know how to play and he was willing to pay her back, in anyway. She picked the playing cards up and began to shuffle. The hair on the back of her neck rose, someone was watching them. While she didn't know who, they weren't going to ruin her chance at getting this cute man.

"Hohohohohoho, don not worry yourself my dear!"

She dealt the cards swiftly, keeping her eyes on the prize.

"I shall pay your way for this game. but we will not be playing Poker, I have grown quite tired of that game. Instead we will play Blackjack, the first to twenty-one or has the highest number wins. There are two cards in front of you."

She pointed a manicured nail at his cards.

"One is face-up while the other is not. All face cards equal ten while the ace can be one or eleven. After adding them together you can either stay at that number or ask for another card, if you are over twenty-one you automatically lose. Do not worry this game is easy to play.

Caroline laughed behind her hand. This man was almost already hers, she chose this game for that reason. While she loved Poker the chances of her winning were lower than playing Blackjack. She took a gander at her face down card. Hm, a seven added with her face up three, a ten, not too bad. If she drew an ace then he'd be instantly hers. Searching through her purse she set ten thousand belli on the table.
"Here is my wager. The only thing you have to wager is yourself handsome. If I win we'll be married right after this game. Hohohohohoho."

"Hohohohohoho, don not worry yourself my dear!"
Thank god Markad thought, ive found someone nice, hopefully with her help i'll be able to make abit of money

"I shall pay your way for this game. but we will not be playing Poker, I have grown quite tired of that game. Instead we will play Blackjack, the first to twenty-one or has the highest number wins. There are two cards in front of you.". Alright, Blackjack so far doesnt sound to hard, i mean all i have to do is get to twenty one first.

She pointed down to his cards."One is face-up while the other is not. All face cards equal ten while the ace can be one or eleven. After adding them together you can either stay at that number or ask for another card, if you are over twenty-one you automatically lose. Do not worry this game is easy to play. She was right about that, it sounded easy, he lucked out, this game seemed like it relied more on luck than anything else. He nodded to himself he could win this. She put ten thousand beli on the table, not as much as he was hoping for but still deffinately more than he had at the time, he smiled , maybe his luck was turning around. He looked at his face down card a six, his face up was a nine, it gave him fifteen not bad but he knew he'd need better to win.

"Here is my wager. The only thing you have to wager is yourself handsome. If I win we'll be married right after this game. Hohohohohoho." Okay thats not too bad, he nodded to himself, wait what! Did she say married, no, no way not to her, not today i have to leave. He sighed, he knew he couldnt leave, the cards were delt the wager was on the table and he had said anything. Silently cursing himself for his bad luck he had to hope it would change, he needed to ask for another card.

Umm, he cleared his throat. I need another card card. Despite the fact that he had just cleared his throat it still came out as a croak. It was because he was nervous, well he was way past nervous he was scared, but he wasnt someone to loose to his fear. He thought he saw the women cover a smile, and a thought occured to him, he hadnt asked her name yet. So he said trying to make alittle small talk to calm his nerves, I havent asked your name yet, im Markad, and you are...

She was about to answer and deal him a card when the thief from a few tables over made his move, he was up quick and running. Markad didnt even have time to react until the thief was at there, the thief stole the money off the table and knock the table over in the process throwing cards everywhere and Markad`s staff on the ground. Then he changed direction and ran back for the doors bumping and pushing people out of his way.

He swore under his breath, and jumped up grabbing his staff off the floor, aplolgized to the lady he was at the table with and took off after the man, he probably could have caught him with his devil fruit powers but there was alot of people and he didnt want to draw too much attention to himself, he ran after him anyway, the thief was fast but he knew he was faster, not many people could out run him. He swore to himself louder this time and wondered about the women back at the cashino and wondered what she was doing.

"um, I need another card."
His voice cracked a little with nervousness, how cute. Caroline definitely chose the right man to be her husband. She gently picked his next card, not giving into temptation to peek.
"I havent asked your name yet, im Markad, and you are?
Her smile widen as she was about to answer. The table was suddenly toppled over and the belli she placed there was taken. Markad had shot up fast and went after the man. Caroline felt the need to cry out in frustration. That ugly pig man dared to ruin her chance at the most adorable husband. She gritted her teeth in an unladylike fashion and stood up. Looking at the card she was going to deal her cutie pie her anger only lowered at little.

The other people in the casino looked at her. Sighing and fixing her hair Caroline decided to leave the casino and follow after that pig man. He needed to be taught some manners on how to treat a lady. Gingerly she stepped out of the building and tapped the nearest person to her on the shoulder.
"Excuse me, where did those two men run off to?"
The middle aged woman gave her the strangest look before answering.
"They went towards the amusement park."

"I see. Is there a place near there that the ugly pig man would go to hide?"
"Ugly pig.... Oh, there is a building there that most of the pickpockets go to. It doesn't matter, Garrick is making a round there soon to find any lawbreakers and pirates there. I'd steer clear if i were you."
The woman left Caroline there with her information. Caroline stood there a moment before clapping her hands together.
"Hohohohohoho! it's my lucky day. This Garrick may be another handsome man just waiting to be my husband."
The okama flipped her hair from her shoulder and began walking towards the building the stranger told her about. She wasn't too scared of this Garrick man, he probably wouldn't be able to tell she was a pirate. and if he did, well her new cutie pie would jump in to save her.

After around ten minutes of walking Caroline could see the amusement park in the distance. She tapped her chin with her manicured finger.
"Hm, after the pig man is taken care of my cutie pie should take me there. We'll have a romantic day together just the two of us."
She started to conjure up a sparkling day dream of them riding the Ferris Wheel and eating cotton cand y together. Oh how delightful.

Markad had been chasing the man for atleast five minutes now, he was sure he must have run down every ally in the town by the time they stopped. It was just luck that he had seen the thief turn the coner and run into a wooden building probably the only one in the city bringing the chase to a stop. Markad looked around, he wanted to figure out were he was before he went barging in. About 2 blocks away he seen an amusment park. Thats pretty cool maybe once im done i'll go, i haven't been to an amusment park before. Markad finished checking his surroundings confident that there was no surprises waiting for him outside and went up to the door.
He check the doorknob and surprisingly it was unlocked, he opened the door and went in.

Markad watched as the thief was explaining why he had been running and what he had been doing to his eight comrades.
"Yeah so i had already stole 1 million from him and i figured he would be an easy mark he didnt seem to strong so i waited hoping i could get some more, well he was playing cards with some okama and there was 10 thousand beli on the table so i took it and ran. Next thing i knew he was chasing me, but i lost him pretty quick."
"Umm sorry to say this but you didnt loose him"
Markad had never seen nine heads look toward him so quickly, they looked like that they were going to kill him.
"Now all i want is my money back, then i'll leave and no one will ever see me again, not too bad of a deal is it"
Obviously it seemed like a bad deal for them because they just looked at each other once and got up and came towords markad, grabbing clubs and swords from various places.
Great, this is the last thing i wanted theres no way i can take all nine out by myself without getting seriously hurt.

Markad went on the offensive, in his experance if you could take out one or two guys really quick all others would think twice, but unfortuantly these guys were alot better than he thought. First he went for a low leg sweep that tripped one thug or it would have if someone had not caught him before he fell, then he spun into a quick staff thrust but that got deflected easly enough. It only took them about 2 minutes before they had him surrounded ready to be attacked from all sides. He hadnt wanted to use he devil fruit powers just yet but he was going to have to, he launched himself at one of the thugs behind him and thrusted his spear at him, it would have been deflected if he had not have manipulated the wood of the staff to go around the sword, the thrust hit him square in the forhead and made him drop. Spinning around he got ready for someone to attack him, but instead he watched as the door busted inward and he heard.
"Get ready punks Garricks here"

Caroline sighed in disappointment. The bounty hunter was cute at all, he was almost as bad as that pig man. She huffed and made her decision. Walking towards the door, the okama pushed Garrick out of her way.
"Sweetie, I want to go to the amusement park. Are you done with these pig people?"

One of the pig men ran at her. Narrowing her gaze, she slapped him across the face, sending him flying to the other wall. Caroline laughed behind her hand, the poor pig man. Trying to dare touch her in front of her new husband.
"Hohohohohoho. How dare you even try to lay hand on the Pink heart Pirates Captain, Caroline Flamingo.

(OOC: Mind if I step in?)

~~~Meanwhile...~~~

"Okay... I believe that is all it's going to take ma'am."

Location, Kanki Town: one of the most populated towns in the entire world. The city consists of a large number of activities, such as several amusement parks, restaurants and of course - the famous casinos. Many people from all around the world are often gathered here just to stop by before sailing away once again, amongst those are both Marines and Pirates together. A miraculous place like this is so rare it might only appear in a man's dream, yet it exists there with the person working there for some small profit. Crime still runs in these areas, but most of the time it doesn't bother people too much. They have their own law and order organization to keep them safe, after all, they should just leave it all to the superiors.

"Thank you, thank you so much!"

And in a certain part of the city, a strange creature appeared. A most-of-the-time harmless creature, at the gigantic size that could surpass a building and yet such deep care for everything around it that it's willing to let the shyness aside and just get some supplies so he could leave soon for a better island. Such populated areas were never Jelay's type of places anyways, he couldn't stand speaking to humans if he wasn't on duty or already familiar with someone. This case involved money, for a change: Jelay's profession allowed him to get a customer quickly enough although they might have suspected him very much at first glance. He is a giant, after all.

"Just make sure you take these medicine every two days and your child will be alright. I guarantee! It's the least I could do for such a generous present, of course..."

He was really embarrassed for the fact he spoke freely with a different person, currently trusting him to the point of allowing him to heal her. The woman was at the 5th month of pregnancy, but unfortunately caught an illness that might have affected her yet to be born offspring. If Jelay didn't happen to pass there and convince them in time that he's a doctor, things might have gotten a bit worse.

Immediately after leaving the final face of a smiling, friendly doctor, Jelay immediately began running away from the area. He couldn't stand the shame anymore. Blushing powerfully, he ran as fast as he could - his stomps leaving marks on the ground and in some areas also shaking the ground just a little. He advanced quickly for such an enormous creature, freaking out pretty much any human that didn't see him operating there earlier. Humans aren't used to seeing such weird images, a human at a terribly large size running across the street while his face is entirely red and he's keeping on panting from stress and exhaustion.

It didn't take too long before he found a quite place to rest in. He breathed heavily, grasping for air. That was some run he pulled over there, but that also indicated the fact he really needs to get into shape. Ferocious punches and kicks don't necessarily drag a strong heart.

"Oh wow... That was... Almost too late!... I could have fainted there!..."

The giant ignored the fact two other people are currently fighting in a nearby building, near an amusement park. He also ignored the fact that his large body could have been easily noticed by the passengers (could have, not have). A small alley like that, isolated from every human in the town wasn't exactly the ideal place to hide a giant in, but in this person's case - any place you can't practically see him too well without concentrating is more than fine. Plus, he had all the time he needed to think of how he gets to another patient: that was the only solution possible for his shyness.

(OCC: not at all nice to have you. The posting order is now Tempus, Cosplaywizard, Rolee)

Markad was shocked from the time the door busted in he didnt know what to do, the women he had been playing cards with had followed him and she had just pushed by a man who was so sure of himself he kicked in the door of a group of thiefs hideouts without a second thought.

Not to mention the lady knocked a man accross the room with a slap that was some serious strenght, and although he was confused he knew one thing, he needed to get his money and get out of there fast.

"Hohohohohoho. How dare you even try to lay hand on the Pink heart Pirates Captain, Caroline Flamingo. Well she`s the captain of a crew of pirates that makes sense i guess, atleast now i know how she has such crazy strenght. His eyes were still on the man Garrick, and didnt realize that every thief that was standing in a momment ago had ran, he guessed either Garrick or Caroline was well know enough to make them all go running, he looked over to Caroline, yep probably Garrick.

"So i come busting in here to catch a few thiefs and find some people busting up there hideout instead not to mention atleast one is a pirate, im not sure i liked that. What about you." He gestured toward Markad. "You in her crew." Garrick drew one pistol and pointed it at him.

"No sir " Markad said shaking his head, "i was only playing cards with her when someone stole my money i followed them to get it back, all i want is my money i didnt want to start any trouble."

"If thats the case then grab your money and go. Now you," Garrick said leveling the pistol at Caroline," have already adimted to being a pirate and you seemed to have caused alittle mayham here, i think im going to take you in."
Markad grabbed his money and some of the thiefs loot from off the tables and watched what was going on through the coner of his eye, he couldnt just leave Caroline to fend for herself after all she was lady..ish. He put the money in his pockets and turned back toward Garrick.
"Sir Garrick."
"What now."
"Although im not in her crew, i feel obliged to help her."

"Oh, Garrick turned his head towards Markad, "whys that now."
"Well being the Captine of The Green Tree Pirates i feel its my duty"
As the words left his mouth wood shot up from the tables and floors and tied his hands and body, Markad felt pretty smug about it, this guy wasnt as tough as everyone thought, or well atleast not to a devil fruit user. Markad opened his mouth to say something to Caroline, but stopped when he heard the sound of wood cracking, Garrick was apperantly way stronger than he gave him credit for and probably stronger than Caroline as well.
"Run Caroline."!
Markad ran out the door ahead of her and hoped she followed, it didnt take long before he heard the shot of a pistol and felt a stinging in his left arm and sholder. He knew he had to get out of the line of fire, so he picked an alley and ran down it, straight into a wall. He bounced back, got up and brushed himself off, he looked at the wall he had just hit, and wondered why it hadnt hurt near as bad as it should have. His arm stung more and more with each passing second, he wasnt sure but he thought the bullet must have been stuck in it, he started to get dizzy so he sat against the wall and hoped Garrick wouldnt find him, he needed to rest. It must have been his imagination but he could have sworn he felt the wall move behind him.
