Yokai was given only two choices from Christopher: either wait in a restaurant and order no more than 20 beli worth of food or he would knock him out with his long tongue. Christopher had the distinct impression that Yokai would do something to help the red-haired thief, Nami, get away and thus he wanted him somewhere far away from her. He was sitting at a booth next to-of course-a lady he found attractive.

She had two different colored eyes with one silver and one green, a very slender frame but with long black hair to make up for it, a red scarf wrapped around her forearm. She wore silver denim shorts, brown ankle boots, turquoise thank top, a red shirt underneath a green shirt split open and a green cloth hanging out of her belt. If Yokai didn't have an eye for women he might've mistook her for being a boy.

"I'm sorry for just sitting around gawking at you and your scathing beauty." Yokai flirted. The only reaction she gave him was to pick up her glass filled with the creamy whiteness of milk. "Can I buy you something to drink?"

"Aren't monks suppose to not be flirting with girls in a bar?"

"Correction: my family came from a lineage of monks, but I made the correct choice of becoming an assassin...now I'm just a navigator on a boat with the nicest people I ever met. Would you like to come out with me and have a tour of it?"

"Even if that didn't make you sound like a serial killer; I have no intention of going out there and exploring anywhere with you."

She raised her glass up high and chugged it down as fast as she could. When it was dissipated of any cream she put it down before flipping a silver coin into the glass. She tried getting out of her seat and going out, but Yokai had his hand on her wrist; she felt it painfully in her forearm.

"I'm sorry, did my mentioning of being an assassin scare you? I'm not after you or we wouldn't be having this conservation. I just want to show you a ship, have some crackers and cheese, maybe sail away together to a place where you could bear-"

While Yokai was rambling, a strong purple aura appeared from her. Even though they were in a bar with no open windows or doors he felt a strong breeze blow in his face. This was all mysterious up to the point until she turned around and he could see fangs appearing from her mouth and a glowing sheen of light from her dichromatic eyes.

"Don't touch me!"

Yokai usually wasn't afraid when this happened; girls get angry because he is too lecherous and doesn't talk in the same way a normal man would, but she took this to a whole new level. Slowly her body started to become covered in tufts of fur while her fingers turns into paws. She was growing and growing until she was about five meters long and three meters high; her appearance no longer a wounded but still good looking girl.

She had become a giant wolf making ravenous growling sounds. Yokai had barely been able to grab his staff when she leaped right at him!

"Vulcan's Roar!"

With his shard he unleashed a fireball...

That headed right towards the wall. The ball melted the wall creating an escape for Yokai to get through...

At least he intended to escape that way, but he was already tackled down by the giant wolf. With her now on top of him, the only thing that saved him was his staff pinned against her underbelly. She kept opening and closing her mouth in a way that suggested she wanted to bite him while Yokai writhed on the ground. Without a clear mind and a good plan he would soon be killed by the wolf.

"Tongue..."

The wolf stopped trying to eat Yokai at the same time the monk-assassin stopped wriggling. Standing in the newly opened hole was the cook Christopher, alone. From his mouth was a tiny pink tongue glistening in the sunlight. The tongue was his weapon being unfastened.

"...Prod!"

The tongue grew to the length of a giraffe shooting out of his mouth, ricocheting off the ground, and soon walloped the giant wolf in the nose. This hit distracted her long enough for Yokai to squirm out and make haste to his ally.

"I'm so happy to see you here Christopher my dearest friend. I know she looks mean but if we work together we can-"

Yokai was shut down by a long, sharp object zipping through the bar and pronging him in his neck. Being hit by the object was the same as being hit by a tranquilizer dart. Yokai soon collapsed to the ground but was tangled instead by Christopher's long tongue.

And then-he set the assassin-monk down before retracting his tongue back inside his mouth. He now looked the giant wolf directly in her eyes.

"Whatever Yokai said or did while I was away I'm sorry. If you don't mind I'd like to just take him back to the ship for him to wait out his punishment in a box. I promise once we're gone you'll never have to see us again."

What he told her didn't do anything to make her less aggressive; hearing him speak actually caused her to growl louder and louder until she was reminiscent of a bloodthirsty Sea King. However, whether she had a clear mind or a ravenous state, she did nothing when Christopher threw Yokai over his shoulder and darted away out of the gaping hole the assassin-monk had created. He couldn't pick up his staff with his arms-he used his tongue to do that.

The boys were gone while the wolf-girl didn't bother chasing after them. She soon reverted back to her human form; scars still on her arms underneath her bandages. Even being able to transform couldn't change the damage already inflicted on her.

Now that she was back to her human form she could walk out and go back to her hideout. Her thoughts drifted to the big crater in the wall; was the owner going to charge her any beli's for its creation? Sure she wasn't the one who made the hole but if she didn't get worked up like she did than the lecherous monk wouldn't have caused it to begin with.

She got distracted by the sound of a girl crying out loud.

"I don't want to go back there! Please just let me go and forget you ever saw me!"

"No, Sherry. You have caused enough anguish for King Felidae. I found you and I'm taking you there even if I have to carry you on my back swimming there."

She saw a blond haired teenager girl being grabbed away by an overweight man with small cat hears protruding from the top of his shaven head, crimson eyes, and wearing a bright yellow scarf which matched his bright blue shirt and green jeans. The woman, Lycan Aedoni, couldn't just stand around and watch this happen any longer. She rubbed her feet on the ground before she ran at full throttle towards them.

Before he started walking dragging Sherry, he felt a breeze, as he looked in the direction he was greeted by a slap from the uninvited guest. She said to Sherry.

"Go away, I'll take care of this. "

"But..."

"Get out of here, now."

Sherry couldn't see his face, but she felt she should go and listen to him, so she did. She ran as fast as her legs would carry her until she found the others. The man stood up after rolling on the ground, when he looked at the girl he said standing up.

"You don't know what you're getting into, you damn brat. Nobody gets out unscathed from..."

He did not speak any more, the eyes of that girl made something very clear to him, if you want to survive, shut up, speak and you will have the end. The man fell back to the ground and crawled without turning his back to her, but she began to walk towards him saying.

"Many kings claim to know what to do for others, but without realizing it they sacrifice their true treasures, and judging by what happened, that is exactly what happens, sacrificing the happiness of their true treasure for something that in the end will not be of any benefit to them. When you wake up, tell your Lord to let her go free, if he wants happiness for everyone."

Just as I reached him, he said in terror.

"Who are you?"

"I am the Fenrir."

He punched him in the face leaving him unconscious, luckily they were alone in the street near the bar where she went out before. He walks away while walking towards the docks. When she arrives she already sees several ships leaving, but she approaches a ship that already put the merchandise in. As she gets on, the captain says to her.

"Oh, you're back. How was your ride?"

"Not bad, but I want to go back to the forest."

"Don't worry, we'll be back before you know it. Thanks for protecting us and giving us the wind we needed for the trip."

"My pleasure."

"All right, boys. You heard our protector. Heading for Yensid."

It didn't take long for the ship to set sail and a strong wind to propel them to their destination beyond the East Blue.

Dorobou didn't get the fish but he enjoyed the time he spent at the contest. Maybe if Christopher was around he could've asked him to help him win with his sublime cooking, but in the end he was happy he was given the freedom to find such a fish over being trapped on an island. He missed Rodroy though. He was gullible and too eager for his own good but he was a very nice assistant.

On his way through the town, he came across Sherry, Fletcher, Yokai, and Christopher together looking in his direction as if they could detect his presence.

"Your really giving me those looks?" Dorobou asked in a rhetorical way. "Don't think word doesn't spread about you-Christopher and Yokai-nearly destroying a bar and bringing a wolf inside. Or how about you, Fletcher, and your constantly going around almost announcing 'I'm a pirate; please arrest me'. So whatever way you guys have to make me feel like bad just know I have things on all of you...except for Sherry."

"What is your problem, Dorobou? Wake up on the wrong side of the bed?" Christopher asked. "We just heard this corner was popular and decided to wait for you here. If your done we are done here, too."
