At the same time many miles away a large and famous group of pirate hunters recieved a message from the Queen herself.
A mission was given to the 'Black Order' that stated the best of their pirate hunters shall catch the infamous 'Crowned Clown' and offer him to either become a privateer and sail under the Queen or face the gallow.
And right now a heated discussion echoed through the cold hallways of the 'Black Order'.
"You want me to chase some fucking pirate and bloody hire him?!", shouted the enraged voice of one of the best hunters currently at the Order's headquaters.
"Now, now Kanda. Please calm down", sighed his surperior Komui Lee and tiredly rubbed his face.
The short-tempered captain of one of their fastest ships was annoying him to no end.
"Fuck no! You want me to risk the 'Lotus' and her crew for a filthy pirate!", shouted the young Japanese and glared at the man, his dark eyes filled with rage.
"I don't like this either but we have to follow the Queen's orders!", shouted Komui back and glared at the man he knew almost his entire life.
Taken aback by the sudden outburst Kanda ran a hand through his long hair and tried to calm down.
"Alright. I'll follow those fucking orders. But if one of my men dies I'll give the Queen a piece of my mind", growled Kanda after the worst of his anger dissipated.
Komui smiled slightly. This was the best of an agreement he would get from Kanda.
"We'll load the supplies onto the 'Black Lotus'. Be ready to set sails in six days. Here's the information about the one you're looking for. I'd suggest to sail to Tortuga and ask around."
Kanda nodded and walked out of the messy office, his long black coat billowing behind him.
He actually was grateful for the new mission. He's been cooped up in the headquaters for nearly two months now and couldn't wait to feel the swaying of his trusted ship on the waves and the harsh winds of the ocean.
"Yu-chan~", chirped an annoying voice behind him and suddenly two arms were wrapped around his torso.
With a growl Kanda threw the owner of said arms over his shoulder and onto the ground, the tip of his beloved katana pointed at the man's throat.
"Do. Not. Call. Me. By. My. First. Name!", hissed the angry captain and pressed his blade a bit more forceful against the rapidly paling skin.
"Sorry!", shouted the red haired quatermaster of the 'Black Lotus' back and let out a sigh of relief when the sharp metal finally rested at his captain's hip again.
Blinking with his lone green eye the red-head examined his captain.
"You okay Kanda? You seem not as grumpy as usual."
"Che. Got another mission. We'll set sail in six days. Tell the crew", replied Kanda.
"Aye, aye Captain!", shouted Lavi and did a mock salute before running off and search for the crew members.
Kanda rolled his eyes and turned around, walking down to the docks to help loading the supplies.
