A few shady looking men walked into a tavern, looking for the Captain of the Solace Pirates, Tobi Solace. They posted wanted posters of the Captain and his crew, all of whom were given higher bounties since their absense.
Tobi: 500 million gold
Rikine: 32 million gold
Aaron: 60 million gold
Kitty: 33 million gold
Shikimaru: 300 million gold
Uzumaki: 300 million gold
Jacob: 20 million gold
Dess: 500 million 7 gold
Jin: 50 million gold
Yukio: 85 million gold
A young man with a straw hat covering the majority of his face and an oversized coffin strapped to his back glanced at the bounties and chuckled. "Something funny?" One man asked, insulted.
"Oh, it's nothing, really..." The young man shrugged it off.
"I've heard the Solace Pirates were incredibly strong. But if they were, why were they easily wiped out in Azure? Why would their bounties be raised?" He mocked, causing the other man to grab him by the collar. "You think this is funny?! Piracy is a crime, regardless of how famous the criminal is!"
The young man tipped his hat and picked up his glass of beer.
"Is it a crime to crave adventure?" He asked, when several Navy soldiers, including a Navy Captain, barged in.
"It has come to our attention that a member of the Solace Pirates gang is residing in this tavern! We have you cornered, pirate, so wherever you are, surrender! Or else we'll force you to!" The Navy Captain stated, with a gold-hilted rapier in hand.
The Captain, however, noticed the young man's white tail, which was also present on the wanted poster of the pirate captain, Tobi.
"Uh..!!" He pointed to the young man.
"YOU!" He shouted, and lunged at the young man at seemingly inhuman speeds.
But alas, he wasn't quick enough, and was elbowed in the back of the head, and was rendered unconscious.
"I really wish you didn't blow my cover like that!" The boy said, and dashed toward the exit in the back of the tavern. Since the tavern was surrounded by Navy soldiers, he had to sneek his way out. So he dived into a box full of hay, which was set on a carriage, carried by a horse. Using this as a means to escape, the young man, or rather Tobi Solace, successfully escaped the Navy, and took off his straw hat.
"That was close. If the rest of the Navy were to find me, we'd have a hard time leaving the island!" He sighed in relief, and jumped on top of the carriage.
"I'll find the others MUCH quicker this way!" He set down the coffin that he was carrying, and opened it up. Inside was his first mate, Destiny Rikine, and a few of his weapons.
"Sorry it took so long! emotion_sweatdrop " Tobi apologized.
OOC: Sorry, Rikine :U
