Voyage of The Dragon Sound
The steady rush of wind that filled the sails was nearly strong enough to rip them…nearly. The dragon figurehead had been worn smooth by time and the sea, it was originally red and gold but now not much of that color remains. The Dragon Sound is a proud and strong sailing vessel, not many of the Marines try for my ship and its crew any more. Yet life on The Grand Line tends to keep you on your feet.
A loud thump came from the starboard side and I sit up startled, looking over the railing to see a ship with a scull and cross bones, the scull was wearing a straw hat, painted on the main sail.
"Hay, anyone alive down there?" I shouted down, no response came.
"Someone go down there and check for living souls."
"Yes captain." Came the swift reply as I got to my feet.
One of the men went onto the ship and looked about for a few minutes before coming back.
"Six people on board captain, all out cold." Reported my first mate, James.
James is a young man of twenty three years with deep brown almost black eyes and short, wind blown blond hair…in my honest opinion I think he looks fluffy, can't say why he just does. He's an honest and hard worker, a grand friend and not to bad in a fight either. His voice is not overly deep yet he has this accent that I still can't identify for the life of me.
"Who are they?" I asked.
"Monkey D. Luffy and the rest of his crew." Said James.
"Well, I can't just leave them to drift so… Alright, tie that ship to the rear bring them up and unfurl the rest of the sails to compensate. Now move out!"
"Sir, yes sir!" My crew went to work on it right after I finished.
I grown as my head starts to pound, a storm. That or a cannon was just fired at us. A resonating splash ahead of us was conformation of cannon fire.
"Can you see who it is?" I shout up to the crows nest.
"Marines, captain." Came the reply from above.
"Daft fools." I grumble and walk to a clear spot at the rear of my ship. "James wake them up, they may want to see this."
"Yes captain."
James moved about the smaller ship waking up its occupants. Most of them looked around confused by the clamor and the other ship…my ship.
"What the hell is going on here?" Asked a green haired man, he looked a bit younger than James.
"I wanted you all to see why I, Amelia Drayco, have a 500,000,000 berry bounty on my head."
