Seagull Mayhem

Endrino was awoken by the sounds of his returning nakama. He sat up and watched as Takeshi carried a bunch of large wooden planks over his shoulder, and disappeared below deck, to his workshop presumably. The shipwright was followed by Kotex and Isamu, the small doctor looked very happy and Isamu was carrying a large bag full of medicine's Endrino guessed.
Isamu stopped for a second and turned to face his captain, "I'll just go put these in the infirmary for Kotex." Stated the stocky white-haired 1st mate before he continued to go below deck to the infirmary where the small doctor worked and trained.

A few moments later and Isamu returned onto the deck, he wandered over to his captain and, seeing that the 17 year olds eyes were closed (or should I say eye, as only one is visible) he poked him. Only to receive a very harsh green glare.
Endrino glared at his friend for a moment, then his gaze softened back to its normal state of mildness. He had been distracted by the arrival of Osamu and Cozmo.
The two brothers were chatting away as they walked up the gang-plank and onto the ship. Both were carrying large bags of food.
But it wasn't either of these things that had caught the young captains attention. What was now making his stand eagerly on his feet was the crate of energy drinks in his sharpshooters hand.
Cozmo saw this and grinned. He rose the crate above his head and with a quick shout of "Catch!" he threw the crate towards his awaiting captain.
Endrino caught the crate with one hand. A huge grin was lighting up his face as he broke though the plastic crate to get to a can. He put the crate down, opened the can and gulped down a load of its sweet-sour contents. "Nice one Cozmo!" he called in thanks. It wasn't like he didn't have any in stock, but these energy drinks were ones he hadn't seen, or tasted, before. Perhaps they were unique to this Island?

Two hours after their designated time to leave they were still waiting for one crew member.
Endrino had already drank 5 cans of the energy drinks Cozmo had brought him (with Endrino's own money of course) and he was halfway through his 6th, the last one in the crate. Endrino was becoming restless, and not just because of the energy now pulsing through his bulky, muscular body. His navigator was late, again. He sighed, and took a pistol out of his coat pocket. He wasn't one to use guns whilst fighting, so this was in general the pistols only purpose. He shot the gun 3 times towards the open ocean, before turning towards his nakama. "Alright, that's enough waiting around let get out of here."
The crew instantly got to their jobs, due to its small size almost everyone was needed to get the huge ship moving.
Yuudai pulled up the anchor, his size helped immensely in this task and it would probably take 2 or 3 of the normal human-sized crew members to pull that up. So having Yuudai do the job meant that those hands were free do other things.
Sangrie and Cozmo scaled the main mast and let down its sail. They would use this to get out of the harbour.
Takeshi stood at the bottom of the mast and caught the ropes that would tether the sail in the best position to take in the maximum air current. Of course he tied them into those positions as well.
Endrino stood at the wheel guiding the ship safely away from the other boats. Following Isamu's instructions as the 1st mate stood on the Rione's black mained lion figure-head, where he could see far better than his captain stood upon the raised area of deck where the wheel is.
Osamu and Kotex didn't help out this time as they were sorting out the large amounts of stock they had collected.

Sangrie and Cozmo had climbed back down onto the deck, Sangrie disappeared below deck while Cozmo went over to the Captain. "Katashi sure picked his day to go sloping off". He said, worried, after all they would need their navigator more than ever one they got to the grand line.
"Hmpf!" came the grouchy sigh from the annoyed captain. "If he doesn't hurry up I'll just have to get a new navigator when we get into the grand line." Endrino grumbled, childishly. He didn't really mean that, he didn't want another navigator particularly it was hard to find one of Katashi's calibre. The 3 gunshots had been a signal to Katashi that they were leaving. And the navigator had a good way of catching up to them too, there was no reason why they wouldn't be seeing him again soon.
Cozmo smiled, seeing right though his captains words.
Eric however looked worried, he liked Katashi, he found he way he spoke funny, and the way he could act sometime was funny too. Unlike the rest of the crew, he hadn't been around when they had left the navigator behind before. So he seriously believed that he'd never see the quirky guy ever again.
Isamu noticed to worried look on Eric's face and he went over to comfort the boy. "calm down Eric, there's nothing to get so worked up about" he said, a calm smile across his face as normal.
Eric looked at the 1st mate in disbelief. "How can you say that?! He's part of the family!" He protested. After being with the crew even for several weeks, he now saw the crew as his second family.
Takeshi who had overheard this protest hit Eric softly over the head with a flat palm. "Don't be so naive! Endrino is the captain and you should have more trust in his orders. He's not the kind of man that would see leaving a nakama behind as an easy thing!" Said the older shipwright, besides Yuudai, Takeshi was actually the oldest crew member on the ship. He was often quite stubborn and would pick up anyone if they said something against what he thought to be the pirate code, even Endrino got the occasional head-slap from time to time. He stood there with the boy and 1st mate, arms folded across his wide chest.
Isamu smiled as he could see the boy trying to ignore the hit to the head that he had just received. "Takeshi's right, Endrino definitely wouldn't do that. He certainly isn't so stupid to leave for the grand line without his navigator."
Eric sighed, realising that there must be something to this that he didn't know or understand. "Ok" even though he said that he still didn't feel happy about what was going on.

Cozmo had been watching the skies ever since his conversation with his captain. "Seagull coming in fast off of the port bow!" he cried, running away from the centre of the deck where he had been standing.
Eric wondered for a moment why Cozmo was shouting such things about some boring old seagull. Then deciding to get rid of it the boy picked up a stone from the ship's deck and lobbed it towards the bird, making it change direction and go round the ship.
"Idiot!" exclaimed the shipwright hitting Eric over the back of his head again.
Eric looked at Takeshi confused, "But I didn't hit it or anything?"
Cozmo had been watching the bird intently. "Here he comes again!" he exclaimed as the seagull banked round for another try.
"Can I catch it and keep it as a pet?!" Eric asked getting excited.
Isamu grabbed hold of Eric so he couldn't do anything to the poor bird. "Just watch" he told the energetic boy.
The Herring gull landed on the deck, calling, it was looking straight at Eric, almost like it was protesting the idea of becoming a pet.
Eric watched the gull, confused "I'm not cleaning up if it poops you know"
The gulls stare seemed to become more intent at that comment and it beat its wings getting ready to take off again.
Isamu frowned, worried and let go of Eric, moving swiftly away from the boy.
The seagull took off and flew straight at Eric. The boy closed his eyes, but held out his arms in case he managed to catch the bird somehow.
In mid-flight just before it hit Eric the bird suddenly changed to the human form of the navigator, and rugby tackled the boy.
Eric however still had his eyes closed, he caught hold of the young man's arm and exclaimed "I caught it! Can I keep it as a pet now?"
"Take a look exactly just what you caught" grumbled the navigator.
Eric opened his eyes and looked down at his prize.
"As if I'd let you keep me as a pet….. then again if you were a nice young lady…" The womanising navigator started to day-dream, but was knocked swiftly out of it by a head slap from Takeshi.
"You perv" stated the shipwright in disgust.
Katashi glared at the shipwright, and was about to answer when a shout put him off.
"Katashi! You're late!" Shouted Endrino as he walked over to the group.
"I'm not that late, am I?" The navigator caught the glare of his captain and gulped *apparently I am* "uhhhhh, you see…. I was….."
"We can all bloody-well guess what you were doing!" Endrino yelled obviously pissed off.
"I can't" stated Eric, who was kind of confused, not understanding where the seagull had gone and how Katashi had got back.
"Just go do your damn job and get us to the grand line!" Endrino yelled at his navigator.
Katashi's voice squeaked a little out of fear "Aye-sir!" he scrambled to his feet and ran over to take hold of the ship's wheel.
