Day 20
Day 20 now, though it's been so long since my first entry.
I've...re-read this from Day 1 and I still feel shocked that everything that happened...well, happened. It all felt like a dream, a wonderfully long dream.
But it ended in a nightmare.
They're all gone now. Goji, Roy, Cook, Captain and everyone else. I hope that they survived, but after what happened, the odds of that are pretty slim. I still can't believe I managed to survive...what happened.
I've been sailing for a week now with the Greybeard Pirates. The strongest pirate crew in the world, captained by the strongest man in the world, Arden Frank the Greybeard.
The old man is...eccentric. He's the captain, but he also serves the ship's cook and he's good at it. He helps around his ship just as much and often spends the night sleeping on deck or looking at the stars.
His crew are no less eccentric.
The first-mate, Lat, is always playing with his gigantic puppet and he likes to use ventriloquist skills to throw his voice around to pull pranks on his crewmates.
The ship doctor, Grunt always seems to be breaking doors or walls or walking into them without realising it.
The crew, including the three I just mentioned, is made up of nine men. Each one has a bounty of over 200 million beri.
The other six are Jazz the Renegade, Baha the Grey Blade, Salim the Titan, Shah the Sniper, Bran the Firebrand and Flick the Battering Ram.
These guys are all famous for screwing with WG big time at one point or another.
From what I remember, Jazz was an agent of the WG who went rogue and ended up killing most of his former subordinates as well as selling information to the enemies of the WG. Baha gained notoriety when he massacred three Marine squads, headed by a famous Vice-Admiral and for killing a King in some country or other. As for Salim, I have no idea what he did to piss of the WG but I assume it has to be pretty severe for him to gain such a terrifying reputation. Shah is wanted for assassinating four Vice-Admiral and countless Cipher Pol agents. Bran apparently raped a Tenryuubito! That guy must be nuts. In any case, he was pursued by an Admiral for a long time until he joined up with Greybeard, who apparently killed the Admiral. As for Flick, like Salim, I don't what he did.
So now I'm on a ship whose crew are among the most wanted men in the world. Ironically, it's also the safest place for me because apparently no one would willingly face them in battle.
Looking at the way they behave, I find it a little hard to believe that these men committed great crimes. They all seem so...nice. But looks can be deceiving.
Anyway, Greybeard told me that they were headed for Baterilla to resupply and that I was welcomed to sail with them if I wanted to. I asked him why he would let me sail with his crew and he just answered that I had an unpleasant face and a funny moustache. It made him laugh.
I accepted to follow them as far as Baterilla. I'll figure out what to do from there.
