One Piece: New Age

Hey Guys. Sorry about the last two days. There's been some.... issues, but I'll have a post up tomorrow.

@malmshodes

Alright, no worries :P

One Piece: New Age

Some time had passed. The ship had been traveling for a few days, being quite lucky with the weather despite some massive changes in temperature here and there. It was often extremely cold, or blazingly hot. Right now however, the temperature seemed normal. The crew could see an island appearing on the horizon. It was too small to make out how it looked yet.

~~~~On the Island further ahead, the island Erdol~~~~

There was a small beach upon the island, with a few docks. There was a small village as well, lying nearby. There appeared to be a large forest behind the village, which covered most of the island. The stone houses appeared to be in rather poor condition. Several townsfolk wandered around the village, minding their own business. The town seemed quite peaceful.

"Attention, ATTENTION!" A loud voice roared, abruptly bringing an end to the silence. A marine soldier stood in the center of town, with a large bag rested on the ground beside him. "Weekly donation to our amazing captain as appreciation for our protection! COME ON! ON WITH IT!" The man barked. All the people hurried over towards the center, throwing in many golden pieces of Beri.

The marine was completely silent, and stared into the bag. "EHHH?! IS THIS ALL THE BERI YOU HAVE?! THIS ISN'T EVEN CLOSE TO 300 GOLD!" He roared. "Sir, please! We don't have any more money! Please, tell the captain to keep protecting us!" A man shouted. The navy soldier laughed into the man's face. "Ha! As if-" The man muttered, only to be cut off by a woman's scream.

"P...PIRATES..!!" She screamed to the navy soldier, pointing over at the approaching pirate ship that Lenwood commanded, which was still far away but closing in. "That's not our problem...anymore." The Navy soldier coldly spoke, and began to walk away. An old man rushed over towards the soldier, and grabbed him by the arm. "Sir, I am the village elder..please, reconsi-" The man muttered, only for the soldier to smash his elbow right into the man's face, knocking him on the ground. "Hands off, geezer!" He spat. He grabbed the large bag of Beri and ran down the path that led into the woods.

As the pirate ship reached the island, there was nobody to see. It seemed as if there was nobody in the town at all. There wasn't a single noise, besides the waves that splashed against the beach and some birds chirping.

At that point, one of the women with them began to talk, addressing which direction they'd be heading in and the weather conditions. He nodded at that. He wasn't completely comfortable with the idea that their navigator was new to the task, but it wasn't like he had any greater knowledge. After all, he had specialized his knowledge in medical care.

@Digizel

Actually...uh..

One Piece: New Age

Asus isn't a woman-

GEEZ.

haha :P

LOVING ALL THE POSTS SO FAR GUYS!!!

One Piece: New Age

Alright, so.

I will allow people to post from one to three posts today, to try to get some character interaction going.

Tomorrow, the "one post a day" rule will apply again.

At the same time, you guys could keep discussing what a good crew name could be :P

One Piece: New Age

Eventually, everyone managed to unite on the ship. As Abigail cut the rope, the ship took off immediately, not stopped by anyone. The Marines who went to investigate the brawl in the bar had apprehended the Rustsilver pirates. Some bystanders informed the Marines that there were five other individuals involved in the brawl, but they could not be found. They did find Satoru's note, however, which they would take to Commander Hikari.

Due to their quick departure and normal looking flag, the pirate crew managed to escape. They were not hindered by anyone, merely appearing as yet another trader's ship that left the island. The needle on Asus's Log Pose pointed to the east, where the next island was. There was nothing in plain sight, however. It seemed like it would take a good while before they would arrive at the next island. They were now a very good distance away from Arlen.

One Piece: New Age

Yeah!

We'll get right into Chapter 1 once everyone boarded the ship.

One Piece: New Age

So um, everyone can get on the ship now. Now everyone knows how it looks like.

The flag can be hung up later, after the ship has left port and has moved a good distance away. Right now it has a white flag to avoid attention from the marines.

In the meantime however, feel free to keep brainstorming about a crew name.

THIS IT IT! THE BEGINNING OF THE JOURNEY!!

One Piece: New Age

Ship: This (but a slimmer version of it)

Flag:

Hider

In this case the smiling skull[cause we're pirates of course] nestled between two lotus flowers, but have the petals long and curved, like scythe blades for some extra flare.

The flower pointing left would have all its petals curved upward, and the one of the right downward, to give the flag kind of a 'spinning blade' look to it with the skull in the middle.

Oh and just add two crossbones to the bottom of skull in an elongated cross pattern since pirates have to have those somewhere.

Like the Lotus Flower image but there are two, one to the bottom left of the skull with crossbones, the other to the top right of the skull and have the petals curve like blades clockwise.

That or have them symmetrical so they are at the same height and sandwich the skull between them, but with this formation it would be better to have one with the petals clockwise and the other counterclockwise to keep it symmetrical.

For reference:
Lotus Flower

Whitebeard Flag (this image is in reference to the elongated cross pattern)

Crew name: Twin Lotus Pirates.

<Snipped quote by Duthguy>

Yes, I know Rave Master but somehow, I'm not into it. Don't know why. Maybe you want to say this, but, yes, the Silver Sword is a Rave (the original plan from the author).

So, do you guys agree to Digizel's suggestion?

Ship Design will be slimmer version (the first one from Duthguy's pick)..

The crew flag can be like whitebeard but instead of crossbones, it will be the silver sword.

Possible crew names: Silver Sword Pirates, Silver Steel Pirates, Troublemakers XD

CC: Tagging everyone - @Duthguy@Digizel@malmshodes@IceHeart

@zellected

Alright. I will move the plot forward now.

I will use the ship and flag that Zellected mentioned.

The crew name can be decided later on.

I will repost what has been decided on the 'characters' tab for reference for everyone later on if they wish to recheck on the ship, flag and crew name.

Later I will edit that post if we have settled on a crew name.
