here's another chapter and I hope you all enjoy it because I'm having a great time making this story as usual I don't own the anime or it's characters just only my Oc's
Chapter 5
Recruiting begins?
The long voyage to Aron city!
Mark was setting up the sails while Zack pulled up the anchor.
" hey mark the sails up yet? " sack called finally bringing the anchor on board " what are you talking about of course I did! " mark replied back as he finished to.
" Check we're ready to go " zack exclaimed while mark was giving him the eye " what? " zack was confused and mark extended out his hand " I know mom gave you something to give me so hand it over ".
zack was a little bit surprised but he quickly obliged " how'd you know? " " I just know " " that doesn't answer the question " " moving on! " mark said that last part just to annoy him and it worked.
mark then opened the map that had little note on it said Mark as you know the sea will be dangerous and you can't prevail on your own. It would be best if you'd start forming your crew right away, sure strong crew members are necessary but you will need a ship for you travel. Luckily I have found my way to help you even when I'm not around, now pay attention there's an island called Aron city it'll take bout a week to get there but that will be the best place to find a ship, just trust me
be safe my son and good luck
love your mother Ruby
" well what did it say? " zack's question snapped mark back into reality " it said that there's a place somewhere in the north blue where we can get a ship ".
" Oh cool where is it? " " give a sec " mark unfolded the map and pointed to the picture for Aron city " right here " zack got a closer look " Aron city? " " yeah and according to the note it'll take about a week to get there ".
" aw man well this sucks " " quit your whining we just have to keep going north, and also another thing " " what? " " we better begin forming our crew ".
zack gave him a pat on the back " now your talking sense, but what should we look for first a navigator maybe? "
" hmmm were on the same page there, but I think we're going to need a doctor as well as a cook ".
" Why do we cook the food you make is just fine " mark frowned " zack think for a moment I can't cook everything and if I was the ships cook eventually you'd be a five star dish soaked in tarter sauce "
" your an asshole but I see your point ".
" well there's a town Selt village only a few miles away and it'll only take half an hour to get there, according to the map " zack pointed out while mark was thinking " hmmm alright Selt village it is ".
They were about to set sail until a giant sea king that resembled that of centipede surfaced. zack did not expect that but mark only sighed " don't tell me there's a giant sea king behind us isn't there? "
" yep " " does it look tasty? " zack nodded his head while glaring right back at it " mmm oh yeah this is good one " mark then turned around with a pleased look " sweet ".
Mark then took a stance by extending his left fist forward while the right was hanging back. Zack took a tiger claw martial arts stance and was ready to fight
" remember beat then cut " " I know " then the sea king was beginning to attack " here he comes " mark stated and then slid his right leg across the wood while the sea king lunged forward
" Water... " and right before the sea king got any closer " Uprising! " he then raised his left arm in a quick uppercut motion and when that happened a massive fist made out of water shot upwards sending the sea king back.
" now zack! go! " mark gave him the signal and then zack jumped into the air and headed straight for the sea king " Tiger Shark Claw! " zack swiped one of his claws thus creating five blades composed of air slashing the top of the sea kings body into five pieces. once that was done he landed back on the boat.
" heh heh no sweat " " good job now got dinner for a few weeks " " dam right " zack said and they gave each other a high five. mark then stared at what remained of the sea king and begun to think " be a waste if we don't do anything with the rest of it huh? "
" yeah it would "mark then began to look around and then he spotted a island full of trees.
He then got zacks attention and pointed to the islands direction " up for a little logging? "
Then
After a few minutes Mark and Zack were dragging the rest of the sea king carcass on a large raft they made because they figured why waste all that good meat when you can make a little money along the way.
zack whistled at their fine work " now there's a good sight to see " " yep we got money coming from the rest of the sea king including the raft as well " mark exclaimed and took out his telescope so he could find what they were looking for and they did.
mark tapped zack's shoulder and gave him the telescope " right there? " zack asked " yep let's get a move on ".
within a few minutes they entered the port and immediately there was eyes staring at the duos catch even some were surprised to see a fish man with a human partner the was because not very many other fish people come traveling through the north blue.
A crowd began to gather to look at the massive sea king they brought in while mark made zack drop the anchor and got off the boat
" alright you wait here " mark called out while walking away " aye aye captain stupid " zack mocked him and mark gave him the bird.
Mark then began to look around for the guy in charge and wasn't having a lot of luck due to their being so many people around. He then approached a very tall gentle men " excuse me sir? " he looked at mark " yes " " could you tell me where to find the man in charge of the docks? I got some cargo to sell " " yeah I work for the guy, just follow me ".
Within half an hour mark was heading back to the docks with a buff and scruffy fisherman that had a face showing he means business his choice of wardrobe was a plain white shirt, brown pants and a black hat.
" Well how much for the haul and the raft are you willing to pay? " mark asked the man while he examined it and nodded his head " you did good kid the market will definitely eat this thing up and raft will help out transporting goods easier, so how about it fifthteen hundred beri's for the for the meat and five hundred for the raft " the bargaining began.
" Bullshit twenty hundred for the meat and ten for the raft "
" yeah I got a business to run sixteen hundred and seven four the raft "
" you know what how about nineteen hundred and seven for the raft, that's a fair deal and we both win in the end, so what do say deal? ". The man began to think
" shit your a good kid, deal " they shook hands showing that the deal was mad and done " alright let's do the paperwork "
to be continued
