He brushed his swarthy hair back from his forehead, overly intelligent eyes narrowed on the girl currently fawning over him. He was an almost dead ringer for his father, minus the glasses and a bit more expressive.

Mugen scrutinized the boy before him. He was tall, almost as tall as himself and exotic looking. He had dark, sultry eyes and shaggy black hair that spilled in disarray about his face. He was Ryukyuian. He was a pirate. He was asking for a job.
"Why the hell would a pirate want to work on the docks?"
The boy laughed and gave Mugen a pointed look.
"From what I understand one of the most notorious pirates to come out of Ryukyu is currently dock manager."
"Smartass."
"Couldn't help myself. Anyway crew got broken up and I want to work here until a new ship comes in. I hear that one is coming in from Ryukyu with a bunch of your contemporaries."
Mugen laughed.
"The boys are coming here?"
"Aye, that they are. And I suppose I'll try and join up when they blow through."
"Yeah kid, I'll give ya a job. Don't cause problems though. Yoko'll be happy your back," he said slyly.
The boys tan face exploded into a grin at the mention of her name.
"Ya think?"
Mugen smirked at the excited smitten tone of the young swashbuckler's voice.
"She still wears your bracelet boy. On that note, hurt her and I'll cut of your balls."
"Never would."
"Good thing punk, now go bring in that ship."
