On the island in the West blue known as the hometown of the Captain of the once famous Red Hair Pirates, a boy wipes his forehead as he hammers in the last nail into a ship.

"Whew finally finished" He said. Another boy half asleep on the deck looked up. He quickly sat up.

"Ready then let's set sail Azrael," He said. Azrael was fairly tall. He had a stocky build, which was natural since he was a shipwright. He wore black fingerless gloves. He had a dark skin color.

"Can you at least give me one day's rest Leroy? I did just finish building an entire ship. No help to you by the way" Azrael replied. Leroy was an inch shorter, and had a slightly lighter skin tone. He was leaner and nowhere near as muscular. They had the same black hair and where often assumed to be brothers. And Azrael always considered being the oldest due to the facial hair, which he was only by a few months however, they where both 19 currently.

"Sorry, I just can't wait to set sail" Leroy apologized with a smile

Azrael sighed "Then let's set sail, this ship will take us where ever we need to go" He said as he approached the helm.

The ship was a decent size it could easily hold a crew of fifteen comfortably. The bowsprit was jagged like a nose of a saw shark for that what it was representing. The front of the ship was painted to look like a face of a shark with its jaws wide open. The space between was painted pitch black, the teeth a menacing white. The body of the shark was a shade of blue looking almost gray. It was a two-mast ship. Both masts had a crows nest. The hull was painted the same type of blue. There where four anchors one in each corner of the ship. This allowed for a complete and sudden stop if needed. The individual anchors themselves were light and in total weighed about as much as two normal anchors. The ship carried two cannons below the main deck on the right and left sides that could roll from front to back along a track. On the same deck were the cabins, though most where under construction, to allow for easy changes to be made for any crewmembers that will join. The only rooms that were finished were Leroy's and Azrael's. On the top deck was the kitchen towards the back. Towards the front by the helm stood Leroy and Azrael.

"So we're really leaving this place" Azrael started with a sigh.

"Yeah my parents gave me their blessing" Leroy said

"And I visited my Grandmother's grave" Azrael replied.

"There's just one last thing to do…" Leroy started before a war horn was blown. Pirates began to board the ship coming from the sides.

"Hold them off I have to get something" Azrael said as he took off in a mad dash towards the kitchen.

It was Leroy's turn to sigh now as he took out his brass knuckles. He punched one that was climbing onto the deck, he heard the satisfying sound of bones breaking as the pirate reeled back and fell in the water.

Most where on the deck now looking around for an enemy. The crew was relatively small only about 25 or so, well 24 now. Leroy looked around him, he and Azrael could make light work of them. One charged at him along the side of the ship with his sword raised high. Leroy roundhouse kicked him when he got close enough causing him to go flying over the side. Leroy charged into the fray clotheslining the first enemies he made contact with. He brought them down as he ran forward into a crouch. Leroy followed with a jumping uppercut into the person in front of him backed by a roundhouse kick. The rest of the pirates were now a bit weary as they approached him. They just about surrounded him. Leroy begun to seize them up, not many had swords and even fewer pistols. Most were planning to fight fist-a-cuff and that would cost them.

Leroy made the first strike on the closest enemy, kneeing them with his right knee in the stomach. They keeled over stumbling back. He sprang up with his left leg into a roundhouse with his right, knocking the guy out and moving him aside. Leroy charged forward bringing his fist into two enemy's guts, knocking them unconscious. Leroy turned around to see a sword coming down on him, there wasn't enough time to dodge. He threw up his palm to block. The sword made contact but there was no blood. The palm grip of his brass knuckles blocked the attack.

"You know I would be so mad if that had cut me" Leroy said with a smirk before punching the guy in the face. Leroy once again heard the satisfying sound of bones breaking. The guy lied on the floor unconscious blood gushing from his nose. A gun went off splintering the deck to the left of him. Leroy took off to the right, he was outside the circle now, using the other pirates as shields. And it was working pretty effectively, a few more shots were fired at him, while he was running and at least two of their own crew got hit. God, these guys are dumb Leroy thought.

"You know Azrael is going to be mad if you continue to ruin the ship…" Leroy started. As if on cue Azrael came out of the kitchen charging, wielding a war hammer. It looked pretty heavy as Azrael held it with two hands. It was three quarters the seize of Azrael. The front was a simple hammerhead, while the back was a spike. Azrael clobbered the closest one. Blood went flying from the guy's mouth. Splattering on the deck.

"Now I have to clean that up," Azrael said pissed

There were thirteen pirates left on deck now. Azrael took out two more on his way to Leroy. Five of them surrounded him, all of which were wielding swords. They closed in on him wearily.

"Well it looks like you got me" Azrael said with a grin. He waited patiently with his hammer resting on his shoulder. He looked around him as they enclosed on him.

When they got close enough he planted one foot firmly and took one step forward swinging his hammer. He followed the momentum of his hammer and he began to spin.

"Hammer Cycle" He yelled as he spun in a circle a few times taking out all the enemies. All of which went flying backwards landing on the deck unconscious.

Leroy ran up to Azrael "Show off" He stated.

"Well it's not my fault you didn't come up with a name for your attacks" Azrael replied. Their conversation was ended by the sound of two pistols going off. A massive figure towering over Azrael and Leroy and the six remaining pirates. He walked on the gangplank.

"I'm the captain of the Dual Pistol Pirates" He said lowering his guns. "I'm seizing this ship from you two youngling, so get off or be killed" He yelled.

"Well Azrael I think it's time to cut this down a seize" Leroy said

"I think your right Leroy" Azrael replied.

Leroy ran forward with a burst of speed running quickly past the remaining six heading straight for the captain. Shots began to be fired at him. But they all missed mostly because they were bad shots. Azrael started to make his way towards the captain also. He blocked shots aimed for his torso and face with his hammer, and took out the remaining pirates as he advanced. Leroy was upon the captain now, he jumped up delivering two quick jabs to his gut. Leroy followed with a roundhouse kick to the guy's shin. Breaking his shin bone. The captain let out a scream of agony. Leroy low swept him causing him to stumble back.

"Azrael now" Leroy called out as he interlocked his fingers creating a foothold. Azrael had already taken care of the remaining pirates and was on his way. He stepped in Leroy's hand, and was boosted into the air. His hammer arched behind his back. He saw the terrified expression on the guy's face.

"Get off our ship." Azrael yelled "Impact Hammer" Azrael brought the hammer over his head with all his strength.

"Dude I think you killed him" Leroy stated as he and Azrael looked down at the captain lying on the deck.

"No I just cracked his skull" Azrael replied

"Well anyways lets' get this mess cleaned up. And by the way you should have been able to jump that high without my help" Leroy said.

"Well I have a heavy hammer" Azrael retorted.

"That's no excuse"

A half an hour later all the unconscious bodies were piled on the dock. The deck was cleaned and the sails were unfolded. The gangplank was up and the ship's anchors also.

"Let's set sail." Leroy shouted as wind caught the sails and they were off.
