Sorry for missing three updates! My computer completely crashed, had to reload everything! I'll set them up now! You all get extra goodies for your patience!
Enjoy!
On the ship, a tall man in white looked through a telescope at the horizon, spotting something odd. He frowned and called to one of the crew, "You there! Get the captain up here!"
The young man saluted sarcastically and called back, "Aye sir!"
He picked up his mop and bucket, having had been swabbing the deck, and put them in the galley before running to the captain's cabin. He knocked then entered. "Taisho! Your first mate says he needs you up in the crow's nest!"
The captain nodded and got up from behind his desk. "Thank you. Return to your post."
The captain, short and slender for a man, placed his sword in his belt before walking out onto the deck and climbing up to stand by his first mate. "What do you see?"
"A ship floating above the water."
"A demon ship?"
"I dunno, captain. Take a look with my spyglass."
The shorter man took it and looked through it. "Hmmm… It's too large for a demon ship. And this one isn't surrounded by a dark aura."
"How should we engage it? It's coming straight at us."
"Gather the men and load the cannons, trained straight at the ship. When they're in range, fire. The demon ships can be rather sneaky at times, so we have to be sure not to be tricked. If any survive, we'll take them as prisoners."
"Prisoners? You never take prisoners, Taisho."
"I have a feeling that whoever's on that ship might be valuable to us, Sano."
"Yes sir, Battosai-taisho."
Sano climbed down and started shouting orders. "All hands, prepare for battle! Load the cannons and prepare to fire!"
If you're wondering, "taisho" is Japanese for "captain". I got it from Bleach, which is very good! Now that we've met some of the RuroKen crew, back to the Esca crew!
Please review!
