"So, you hear them too I take it?" The voice emerged from behind the two young men whom had been frozen in their foot steps after having been looking over towards the incoming ship.
The figure which emerged behind them was a gray skinned fishlike creature who was standing on two legs and bore sharp teeth running through his mouth. He stood roughly six feet and seven inches, wearing only blue shorts which seemed to cover the entire lower area of his body. His head had a rather rough looking bundle of brown hair on it, and his muscular body was only complimented by the waters which ran over it.
"Hey Tasur, we were just talking about you dude!" Getai began to hop up and down only to notice that Duos wasn't sharing in his enthusiasm. In fact, Duos seemed almost terrified from the images which had been coming in the distance.
Duos had taken several steps back in an attempt to separate himself away from the ships which seemed to moving a mile a second only to notice that he bumped into Tasur's body. "I think we should head back to the village…" Duos found himself speaking as he noticed that Tasur had already placed his hands on the shaking young man's shoulders in an attempt to calm him down.
"Why? It's not like we have anything to worry about, besides from the looks of things this ship looks like a marine ship anyways. So why would we care?" Tasur began to speak as he motioned closer towards the docks as the ship seemed to get closer and closer towards the docks.
However, for some reason Duos didn't seem to share in his enthusiasm. He had seemed to move further and further away from the ship in an attempt to at the very separate the distance between him and the ship as much as possible.
"Don't worry Duos, so what if you're not from Black Tide Isle. I'm pretty sure they'll be ok with you at the very least hanging out around here… besides why would the marines care?" Getai began to speak as he moved beside Duos who had frozen himself stiff looking up towards the ship which Tasur had been waving over.
As the six marine who had been on the ship exited off of it, there stood one man who stood above the rest in his demeanor and overall appearance. He was a little shorter then Tasur, much to what seemed like his surprise and as he spoke it seemed as though he had a bit of thunder about him.
"I am here under direct orders to find out if this isle has bore witness to one Duos K. Elican" He stood before Tasur who basically blocked out any and all sight they would have had towards Duos who was slowly backing away from docks and the marines as a whole.
"Well, sure maybe. But what's the problem here?" Tasur seemed to be handling the situation quite well until the voice of the marine officer seemed to boom throughout the area.
"Under the new law of the World Government, all direct children of pirates who have been associated with piracy will be taken in for questioning…"
Tasur froze for a bit, as did Getai as the two of them looked towards Duos who seemed to only shrug as the marines almost jumped onto their toes at his image.
"Well to be fair, if your mothers a pirate, and your dads a pirate. And you're on their ship while growing up. It's unfair to say you 'acted' or 'associated' with piracy really." Duos cracked a light hearted smile as he noticed two of the grunt looking marines motion towards him grabbing onto their blades.
"Look just because you're a child doesn't mean we won't use force if we have to. Laws are laws…" The marines began to speak as they moved towards Duos.
Tasur spoke out towards their leader in an attempt to reason with him. "Well, he's only sixteen, so can we at least talk this out."
He spoke only to notice that the leader of the marines was now moving past him with a slight lift of his nose into the air "Look here, you don't need to bother with what children do and get punished for."
He spoke only to hear Tasur's voice breaking through the area with a loud roar to it, having stopped holding back from his natural tone.
"He's older then I am!" Tasur spoke as the leading marine looked towards him to notice that his gray skin had now seemed to develop a slight overcoat of fur to it, and bore heavy stripes on it. "And the name's Tasur!" He spoke as he swung his oversized arm at the head of the marine almost knocking the man's head clean off of his neck.
The acting marine leader had fallen to the ground with the whites of his eyes showing as clear as a day, and the other marine quickly motioned away from oversized fishman. "What the hell is he? Some type of demon fish man!" He began to scream only to hear Tasur's voice breaking through their quivers once again.
"No! I'm Tigerman fishman!" He spoke with a chuckle about him as though trying to conceal the irony of his own words.
The group quickly began to turn tales and run only to notice that Getai had been holding up his hand behind them in an attempt to cut off their path. "To be fair, Tasur isn't the only one with cool powers out of us. Look at my hands." Getai began to speak as though trying to perform a magic trick. He continued to move closer and closer towards them as they continued to scream in fear of whatever his palms were going to do.
Only to hear Getai scream at the top of his lungs "Got ya!" He began to scream as he shot forth a large amount of disgusting black oil from each of his palms which quickly covered the four men and caused for them to instantly pass out from the fear that it was something else.
"Oh man, I love you Bota Bota no Mi." He began to chuckle as both Getai and Tasur began to turn towards Duos who was looking down towards the ground in an attempt to avoid making eye contact with the two.
"I'm sorry guys you shouldn't have been involved. Ya know, if I leave now I'm pretty sure I can just pass it off as I attacked these guys on my own." Duos began to speak as he began to squat down onto the ground as though trying to avoiding thinking of what else he could do.
"Or… we could take some of that bad luck and put it to good use and head out on our adventure!" Getai began to scream as he held his fist into the sky as though waiting for approval from the other two. Tasur quickly held his oversized fist into the air with a slight grin on his face, and the tqo quickly looked towards Duos who was slightly shocked by their actions. However, after having looked at the determination in their eyes he took quickly threw up his fist in approval.
