2.A search for new and old friends
-Three years later-
"Have any of you seen this man?"asked the person who walked into the bar,holding a wanted poster.
"Is he serious?"asked one."Kid's in way over his head."said another."He's looking for...the Captian of the Kumo pirates,Bakuro Kidaru,one of the 3 Umizenpanteki!"said a man that was sitting at the bar.
"I'll repeat,have any of you seen this man!!?"angierly asked the person
"I have,kid."repiled a man sitting alone.
"WHERE?"asked the person,unsheathing one of his swords and pointing it at the man.
"I'll tell ya,if you beat me in a dual."the man challenged."Hey kid,whats your name?"
"My name is Mera,Mera Turema."Mera stated."So,are we gonna dual or what.What's your name?"
"Call me Rico."he said.
"Ok Rico,I'll meet you outside when your ready."Mera said,walking out of the bar.
"Thanks for the meal."Rico said to the bar keep,handing him a bag of beli and following Mera outside.
As Hokkou layed anchor at the dock of the island,he started to think of his future crew.
"Lets see,I'll need a sniper,a cook,a docter,a shipwright and a musician.Not only that,I also need my first mate and my navigator.Maybe I could find one of them on this island."Hokkou thought to himself as he wandered the village."Well,I guess I should stock up now."he said walking into a deli."2 pounds of fish,3 pounds of chicken and 2 pounds of beef."he asked,giving him the beli to pay."Thanks."he said as he walked out."To the ship,then the forest." "Well Rico, are you ready?"Mera asked. "When you are."he stated. "Ok,Shakarugar."he shouted as he lunged at Rico. "Hachidebatoryu:"said Rico as he pulled out eight knifes,four inbetween each finger. "Wolf Twister." he said,taking the same action as Mera. As the two clashed,someone stopped to watch. "That swordsman is going to lose.So until then,I'll just watch."said the stranger. "Well,the food's on the ship,so now to the forest."said Hokkou,entering the forest. "Satsu arrow"was heard from afar. "What was that."Hokkou said as he heard that sound followed with a cracking sound."Maybe they'll join my crew."he thought as he ran to the source of the sound. "Herusu,what are you doing?"asked the person following Herusu "Nothing Toru,just watching some swordsman fight Rico."Herusu answered."I was waiting for that swordsman to lose." "Well,tell me next time."Toru ordered "Just because your three years older than me,doesn't mean you have to watch over me." Herusu told. "I just don't want your greedy ass in trouble."Toru answered. "Who are you"Hokkou asked "I am Yoshi Fuurokei,and you are?"Yoshi asked. "I'm Hokkou Dreayo."Hokkou answered."I was just wondering what you were doing?" "Well Hokkou,I was just working on my aim."Yoshi told him. "Yoshi,would you like to join my pirate crew?"Hokkou asked. "Are you heading to the Grand Line?"Yoshi questioned. "Straight to One Piece!"Hokkou answered. "Then I'm in."Yoshi answered "We leave tomorrow."Hokkou ordered "Yes sir."Yoshi said. "Your not bad,Kid."Rico said,panting. "Remember our deal,I win,you tell me where Bakuro is."Mera reminded him,also panting. "Ya,I remember,Kid."Rico stated."So lets finish this,Kid." "You asked for it,Nitoryu:NI-KON-HEKI!"Mera scremed as a flash of light quickly headed torwards Rico. "What the f-"Rico was interupted by the flash of light. "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED!!!"Herusu scremed as Rico fell down from the attack."I have to help him."he said,rushing over there. "You're a Doctor?"Mera asked. "Yes,why?"Herusu answered as he treated Rico. "Will you join our pirate crew?"Mera asked. "Are you going to the Grand Line?"Herusu asked,still treating Rico. "Yes."Mera answered. "Then you got you got yourself a doctor."Herusu stated as he finished treating Rico. "Hey Kid,I'll navigate your ship to Bakuros' position."Rico said apperently feeling better. -The Next Morning- "Yoshi,we have to set sail,wake up."Hokkou said to a sleeping Yoshi."Yoshi,Yoshi,Yoshi, Yoshi." he repeated. "What?"Yoshi said with a yawn. "We have to set sail."Hokkou told him."I already made breakfast."he added. -1 hour later- "We ate breakfast,so where are we heading?"Yoshi asked. "To the next island,of course."Hokkou stated. Yoshi fell over. "Do we even have a name?"Yoshi changed the subject. "I guess I haven't thought of it."Hokkou said as an name came to him."I got it,from now on we are known as The North Wind Pirates." "Well that solves that."Yoshi said to himself. "Kid,we head west."Rico said. "Mera,are you the Captian of the crew?"Herusu asked. "No,I'm the First Mate."Mera answered. "Than who is?"Herusu asked. "His name is Hokkou."Mera answered."He's my best friend."
