The boat drifted lazily towards an island on the horizon as the four bodies lounged around. Fredrick studied the pack of beaten and worn cigarettes he had found in the town. They were the same Rolf had been always seen using. Probably because they were the type Rolf was always using Fredrick reasoned. Getting bored he looked at the box quizzically then pulled out a joint lighting it up and take a draw. Hacking he dropped the box.

"He jumped in the water for this?" Fredrick hacked.

Kilford looked over his spectacles. "I think those weren't made for you."

"How do you figure?"

"Well they seemed to alter his zoan state devil fruit. I mean I had seen zoan fruit's before but never like his. Normally one retains human features when transforming, but for him he seemed to retain bestial features when not transformed, and lost all human traits when transformed to just the halfway state."

Fredrick looked away bored again then spotted the test dummy lying lazily stretched out across the front of the ship. Taking quick aim he pegged it right in the square of the forehead with the pack.

"Hear that? These were made for you Sack."

Sack sits up, face crumbled in annoyance, looks around and drops the box uninterested. Instead slinking over to sit by Fredrick and Kilford. Soon after the stench of burning rope emanates throughout the ship.

"Shit, is the rigging on fire" Fredrick said as he shot up, followed quickly by Kilford and Sack. The rigging seems fine. Sack raises a hand up scratching its head. Kilford notices and chuckles.

"Fredrick be more careful with that damn cigarette."

"Why?" He responds still looking about the rigging.

"You set Sack on fire."

At this point Sack looks at its hand and sees the small fire lit on its hand, evidently started from a cigarette burn. Touches the top of its head then Sack realizes it spread to their and begins to running down the length of the long boat mouth gaping open and arms swinging wildly over it's head.

"Sack calm down let's just get some water" Fredrick shouted and attempted to give chase. "No, damn, Sack not the" SPLASH, water tossed up on deck as Sack in a frenzy tossed himself over board to extinguish the flame. Fredrick swore shot a quick look at Kilford, who merely shrugged. Fredrick glanced skyward muttering and then jumped over board after him. He was able to grab Sack light body and pull him up on deck again.

"Damn it Sack." Fredrick dripping wet said, as the boat continued to drift lazily to the island.

Kilford offered him a towel from the cabin. "So what are you going to do now?"

"Huh?" Fredrick said graciously accepting the towel.

"Well new island, new choice, new start" he responded.

Fredrick squinted at the island.

"You think it work's like that, eh?" He replied.

"why not?"

"hmm." Fredrick said rubbing Sack's hair gently. Sack stretched out and smiled at that. "Hey, Samuel what are our plans?"

Samuel voice echoed from the cabin. "Plans?, wait why change your style now"

"Ha ha, your a riot."

"I always thought I was a root" The voice responded. Fredrick just responded with cool silence. Kilford looked back at Fredrick. "So?"

"I don't know, I had forgotten how much I liked it."

"Liked what?"

Fredrick nudged Kilford, "Saving someone's sorry ass"

Kilford meekly laughed preoccupied. Then he smiles and looks back at Fredrick, "Well? Make it a job, better then thievery."

Fredrick smiled, "You think?"

"Yeah."

"Could start offering safe passage, but"

"but?"

"Need a bigger ship."

"Well there is an island, they might have a boat."

"Would you be joining us?"

Now it was Kilford's turn to pause "I don't know"

"Better then running all the time."

"You think?"

"Absolutely, Weatherford will just send more, you know"

"I had been trying to ignore that fact." Kilford replied.

"Yeah I know." Fredrick replied.

"I suppose there are worse thing's to do."

"You think?" Fredrick replied smirking.

"well I'm sure you'll end up finding them."

"Damn straight" Fredrick replied at Sack's head fell lazily into his lap.

Meanwhile another small boat floated lazily around the same ocean, although for a different reason altogether. Rolf lay in the middle of the boat shuddering. The sun only made his head ache worse, and inside the stale air offered little comfort as well. His body still felt worn and tired, soar and broken. The food stores of the ship were all gone and he had no where to go. It was just then that he spied a ship on the horizon. It was fast and small, and it was only until to late that Rolf noticed it was flying marine colors, although they were subdued. Scrambling Rolf attempted to turn the boat around to no avail, and quickly the larger, faster ship was upon him. He attempted to turn and fight but before he could even get his bearings on the rocking sea, two men jumped off the marine ship onto his moving much to fast to be seen. The quickly subdued him in his weakened state and tied him up. Rolf wanted to scream and rip and tear the bonds apart but he was so tired and soar that all he could do was moan pitifully as his body was harshly tossed onto the marine ship's deck. A large man in a marine captain's coat placed kicked Rolf painfully over so he could look at his face. As the boot connected with Rolf's sunburned skin it lit him up in pain.

" 'tranquil' Rolf Weber last known associate of Henry Pelton and Rosalind Durisio. This is the guy we want" He shouted to his men. Then he leaned down close to Rolf face, smiled a crooked smile and said. "Ever heard of Impel Down, because have we got an employment opportunity for you."

Eustass Kid laughed as he stared back at the groaning man strung up from the mast with metal wire and nails. The man's face, once strong and determined, now only showed pain and more over defeat. Eustass called out to Killer who stood at the front of the ship.

"So Killer, what do you think a Vice Admiral will be like?" It was a rhetorical question meant more for the prisoner's sake then Killer's. Kid had been itching to try his skills against a vice admiral for some time and it seemed that this former marine Captain would be his ticket into that exclusive arena. He himself had had a bit of fame, but unfortunately like so many Kid found himself facing the battle was one-sided.

Just then the island the island came into view, the island the marine Captain had told them to go to and wait for his vice admiral to arrive. So Kid did, and as they got close Kid began to feel a tingle running up his spine. Something big was going down near him, something that promised to be fun. Just then a huge noised echoes across the ocean and a massive shape erupted from the structures dotting the island. Kid smiled and clenched his fist; A gurgle, immediately silenced by the next scream, rolled slowly out of the dying Captain's mouth as he was suffocated by the tightening metal coils. Kid had no need for him now, he had found something more fun.
