[i]That lady sure had her way of words,[/i] Alesia thought, as the dragon would slowly descend down towards the cliffside. [color=ed1c24]“Right… hop on,” [/color]Alesia climbed back onto the head of the dragon, she was glad that any dispute for the plunder was placed aside for now. But the word ‘defect’ was a bit suspicious. Nevertheless, the more the merrier, she supposed.

[b]Back to The White Pearl [/b] @everyone

Along the piers, the dragon flew towards the White Pearl. Arafael let out a few audible sniffs at the sight of the flying creature. The smell of the air was peculiar. Most of these are the same ones that were in the Olde Tavern of the previous skirmish, except for a few that he had yet to see before. Two of them had the smell of money. [i]Have they defeated Valar or…? [/i]A lady that he had seen once, and it couldn’t be it, one of those people of Valar’s Crew. Arafael snarled at Erizalla, the enemy that he met a few days before. [i] She is one of them…[/i]

[color=ed1c24]“No!”[/color] Alesia patted on the fur of Arafael. The pet wolf’s howls turned to a whimper, albeit reluctantly.[color=ed1c24] “Good boy ~”[/color] Alesia leaned against the railings of the upper deck. [color=ed1c24]“I like this wolf, and it seemed our crew had a couple of new faces.”[/color]

Alesia smiled at the new pet, before turning to look at Coyote and Erizalla, [color=ed1c24]“Oi, new guy, and Erizalla too, mind if you fetch a bit of dog treats? The kitchen is near the ship quarters.” [/color]

The ‘pet wolf' was none other than Arafael, one of the Marines that fought the Shade Pirates in a couple of days before. A marine that ate a zoan fruit. The Wolf have a pistol hidden within his mouth, along with his sense of smell was how he killed the first mate of the Shade Pirates within the Black Mist. But its due to that Valar’s retreat that made some of his crew come in bad terms with the captain. Not to mention the Marine Captain Falir and the other lieutenant’s abilities……

[color=ed1c24]“We’ll be setting sail for Loguetown!”[/color] Alesia ordered. And Falir Crew is still waiting for the Shade Pirates
