I had finally made it to Vincent after a long journey through the town. He seemed grumpy because Smoker left him with Tashigi and I left him with Smoker but he was cooling down over time, even giving me a giggle or two now and then.
Vincent and I were now heading to mirrorball island, (which is located in the Grand line) for better quests but after the one I had just finished, I had gained quite a bit of money so we stopped at the skill store before we left.
I smiled as I stepped out of the skill shop. They didn't have any cooking skills available but they had martial arts on sale but in order to get that skill, I would have to buy a observation skill
The observation skill enabled me to learn things and slowly increase the skill as I go along.
Before we left town, I remembered that there was a cooking competition (that had Sanji in it as well) and I realized that I too was going to join it so I could meet him.
I left Vincent with Smoker again (something that made him angrier with me) before I left for the competition with a small knowledge of how to cook.
Before I had made it to the final three, Sanjo had already won the event. I smiled as I shook Sanji's hand. After all, I had made it as far as the 5th round before I lost to Sanji. "Good job" I said.
"Thank you! You could have made it further if you had lifted your spoon to taste your food."
"I wish I could." I said with a small grimace.
"What do you mean dark angel?"
"My taste buds are cursed, unfortunately. Everything that goes into my mouth tastes like ash."
"How horrible." I started walking and looked at him. He looked at me with a vibrant smile and followed, allowing me to take the lead. "How can you live with it?"
"I've had it my whole life, I've learned to just ignore it." I left him standing there dumbfounded and looking at me with pity. For a chef like him, this might have been the worst news he could hear from someone.
I hated being pitied, but I didn't want to be in a bad mood for when I picked Vincent up. I lightly hummed a tune as I walked back to the Marine base for Vincent.
"A storm blows deep in my heart
Injustices all around breaking me
Blood and death will be my part
Justice is my mission and I am hunting you
Bloody Huntress is my name
Bounty Hunting is my game
It's nice to meet you."
Luckily, it was a short walk to the base and I quickly took Vincent back from Smoker, both of them looking quite angry. We walked to a courtyard where shouting could be heard and I learned that I wasn't mistaken.
There were children huddled in a corner away from the pirates, each one crying out of how scared they were. Vincent heard them and he too started to cry. I pulled out my gun and started to shoot at them.
"How dare you hurt these children!" I shouted at them.
I ran to the docks after the pirates turned and ran toward it. I wasn't about to let them get away with it!
I quickly caught up and managed to tie them up in a record time. They were weak pirated but to all kids, they were monsters. I left them for Smoker and his marines and left before they insisted that I go with them to make sure everything would be okay.
I hopped onto my boat with Vincent and we left for Mirrorball island. The island was a nice place (even if the Straw hats and Jango pretty much destroyed my enjoyment after my second visit there by destroying the dome and letting the light in.)
When I got there and finished with my quests, I fought more sea monsters and quickly racked up enough points to level up with.

Dante, son of Sparta.
Dante has white hair that comes to his chin and is wearing a two-tailed coat. The coat had zippers on the sleeve and a buckle around the waist. The right sleeve is torn off and he has green leather jeans on and muscled figure boots
A new text popped up and summerized persobality for Dante appeared.
'Dante likes to casually mouth off to anybody (even the most powerful of demons), and he rubs off people the wrong way. He does mature as time goes by, but never really loses his attitude. Dante is sometimes presented as a show off as, on several occasions, he performs exaggerated and over-the-top moves. Dante is never shows fear and is also never serious. He can be serious when the situation calls for it, but he still maintains a laid-back demeanor during such situations and is never with out a taunt or comeback. He can seem at times to be uncaring or even callous, but actually has a very strong sense of justice and prefers to fight fairly.'
'He can be counted on to do the right thing, even if he makes cynical quips about it the entire time. Unusually, while he has issues with his own demonic side, Dante has little qualms about accepting demons that choose the side of good. Though Dante is quoted as believing that "Humans are often worse than demons", he refuses to kill full-blooded humans for any reason. Dante values family and friends very highly. He cared deeply for his mother and, despite their differences, for his brother, Vergil.:
'Dante also enjoys toying with his opponent or making a fight last until he gets bored with fighting. He only finds fun in fighting strong opponents who will give him a challenge.:
'If chosen, the next island is Mallet Island,home of Limbo city, Fortuna castle town, the portal to Demon World, and most importantly Devil May Cry. Please note you must gamble with him 3 times and lose once in order to get him to join your party.'
There were many other charactors I could've picked but I chose Dante as it was a relatively simple quest.

I sighed as I thought how great it was how I'm gonna get robbed. With that I grabbed Vincent and walked off my boat and onto the docks of Limbo city.
