The village appeared out of nowhere, and Red almost went face first into the dark wooden building. He stepped back, and saw more buildings, blending in with the very forest. The buildings were low, made of tree logs put together with rope and mud. There wasn't any light, so they were dark, although movement could be sensed within them.

"I guess this is the village we want." Red said, glancing inside a doorway. A figure drew back in the shadows. "Hmm..." Red moved back to the side of his three companions. "Guess that we are still not trusted."

"I wouldn't trust us either." Jin said, his eyes flitting around the village. "After all, these people have lived in the threat of the Jungle Pirates for a long time, and you are pirates as well. They've learnt not to trust anyone they see."

"Should we leave them?" Hikari asked, shivers down her spine.

Red nodded. "It would be best. I wonder where we would find the leader of the village."

"What about there?" Tromso pointed to a building which had two layers, which stairs leading up to the second layer. "That seems different than the others."

"Let's go there then." Red agreed.

"You can." Jin said. "I assume it's all right if I want to explore?"

"Can't see why not." Red said. "After all, you're not in the crew."

"True. I want to get some more information on these Jungle Pirates. As I'm not a pirate, I should be able to coax some info out of the villagers." Jin said, before turning and walking away from the three members of Dragon Claw.

He walked through a muddy path, and made his way to a likely looking building. Jin knocked on the side of the doorway, and waited. "Hello?" He called out, and he saw a figure hunch up against the corner. "I'm not going to hurt you."

"That's what that... that cheetah said! Before he killed... he killed... GO AWAY!" The figure shouted as though it were crying.

Jin figured it was useless and started walking around the outskirts of the village. "So there's a cheetah?" he muttered to himself. "Must be some kind of Zoan... perhaps a bloodthirsty person..."

Jin suddenly tripped over, and he landed hard on the floor. Cursing himself, he picked up his notebook, and noticed he had tripped over a small wooden cross. On it was etched a name. Jin looked around, and saw more crosses. It was a graveyard. Skeletons hung from the trees, grinning lifelessly, and with a jolt, Jin saw a half rotted body, a large chunk missing from its neck.

Jin didn't notice the yellow eyes until they blinked. His gaze snapped up and he saw a yellowish figure staring straight at him, before it leaped off the ground straight at Jin.

Back on the ship given by Mist, Jenny was going over it systematically. It appeared to be a very used ship, if the small cracks were any indication. She found a large chunk missing from the corner of the Captain's Quarters, as well as large crack in the wall of the kitchen. After fixing these, Jenny moved to the front of the ship, and inspected the figure head.

It was a horse, facing up as if letting out a horse battle cry. Jenny frowned, before forming a chisel in her hands.

At that, she went to work.

First, she worked into the snout, making it slightly sharper, before forming teeth using excess wood found at the supply section of the ship. The teeth were pointy and sharp. Jenny made the nostrils bigger, and the ears sharper, sticking up on its head. Making a few more adjustments, Jenny smoothed it down, and formed a sharp metal stick. Using it, she carved in intricate scales, from neck to snout.

Next, she pulled down the main sail, and laid it on the smoothest part of the cave floor she could find, and used black paint to draw the skull, surrounded by the tooth, nail, talon, and claw. She repeated this is the plain flag connected to the Crow's nest, and hung both up.

Jenny stretched and made her way down to the supply room, and started sorting it out from its complicated mess. Whoever owned it must have been messy. After hanging a clump of ropes on a hook, piling up spare clothe, and putting tools on a special metal desk she formed, Jenny saw three separate chests.

Opening one, Jenny gasped. Inside glittered thousands of 500 beli coins, rolled up 10,000 beli notes in what she suspected were 50,000 each. Along with the money were necklaces with rubies, rings sporting different jewels, and even a crown, made of pure gold.

"There must be a million beli in here... if not more..." Jenny muttered in amazement. The other two chests contained similar contents. One at a time, Jenny dragged the chests into an empty room near the storage room, and placed one next to each wall. Opening the chests seemed to give the room a gold glow.

Jenny exited the room and formed a metal plate, and put it on the door. It read: Treasure Room. She continued making plaques, placing them on different doors. Captain's Quarters, Kitchen, Cabin Room.

As Jenny moved a desk which was placed sideways in the Captain's quarters, she discovered it had a trap door under it. Furrowing her brow, Jenny opened the trap door and went down a ladder into a small room. When she turned to face into it, she gasped.

In a glittering glass case were two swords, along with a plaque with a name and some writing. Before Jenny could take a closer look, she noticed a piece of paper on the wall, and pulled it down, scanning the writing.

Jenny

I know you'd be the one to find this, and this is a special present. I found these during my journeys, and I figured your new captain could have a use of them. After all, this ship happened to be mine before Mist hijacked it and informed me of your mission. Hopefully you won't change her too much. Or take my treasure.

"Woops..." Jenny muttered, and continued reading.

They are a spectacular pair of weapons I managed to acquire. Be sure to give them to your Captain.

Sanshouuo

Jenny shook her head in slight amusement, and took a closer look at the glass case. Inside were two spectacular swords. The one on the left had a golden blade, which seemed to glitter, and a light grey handle. Its hand guard was a darker gold than the blade. The second sword had a crimson blade, almost the colour of blood. The handle was a dark grey, and the handle was pure black.

Jenny also noticed the golden sword had a white ribbon trailing from its handle, while the crimson sword had a grey chain falling down.

The shipwright bent down and read the plaque.

For the Captain of Dragon Claw, Red

You don't know me, but I figured after your diamond swords got smashed, you could do with another set. Just don't destroy them as quickly, please.

These swords are twin swords, from the famed Saijo O Wazamono collection. The crimson blade is named Ijin, while the golden blade is name Tenshi. Devil and Angel respectively. These are powerful swords, but they will be fine in your hands. You deserve them.

Shanshouuo

Jenny blinked. Saijo O Wazamono swords? Before she could contemplate any longer, there were footsteps, which sounded uneven. Jenny frowned and made her way to the top deck, where she saw an elephant staring at her.

Jenny's mouth fell slightly open. After all, it wasn't everyday you saw an elephant on a ship.

The elephant let off what sounded like a small rumble, before suddenly jumping and sprinting into the forest.

(Woo! New swords! Don't worry, they'll last longer than others.

Next Time on OPNN New Dreams: The three Dragon Claw members talk with the leader of the village, until a bad event happens which results in three going down to two.
