"So…You must be the great Blackbeard…"
Marshall D. Teach had been hunkered down on an island for a while in his pursuit for his former Crew's Second Division Captain "Fire Fist" Ace since he wanted to score brownie points with the Marines and the World Government, all he had to do was bring him in and his status as a Warlord could be realised. "Zehahahahaha! Sorry that it comes to this, "Captain" but I need to expand and taking you in is my big ticket to it…Though it doesn't have to come to that, why not join my crew?"
Ace craned his neck from the roof and he decided to humour Blackbeard. "Oh really…And what exactly can a traitor to his own captain offer me? Pops and Thatch looked out for you and all this is how you choose to repay?" He pointed out with a less than amused expression; Having your own ambitions or wants was one thing for the Whitebeard Pirates, betraying a brother of arms let alone a Captain was crossing a line for someone who prided family and honour over all.
"The chance to really shine…Your Fruit powers are a perfect fit in our crew and together we can bring in someone truly worth cementing our place in the world to the Marines…Morgan D. Ford." Blackbeard grinned his crooked smile as he detailed his plan. "With that kind of bounty handed over to us plus a Government sanction to do whatever we want, our next steps into the New World will be all the easier, so what do you say?"
Ace felt his body start to smoulder in both figurative and literal senses as flames began to flicker on his body. "Funny…I knew you were ambitious but I never thought you were that stupid too." He mentioned as he stood up and clenched his fist to turn it into a full fire. "Because now that you've threatened my little brother…Now I've got no reason to hesitate cremating your ass!"
The villagers who had evacuated the area could only testify about the pillars of flame and darkness that destroyed their already ravaged homes, the rain of falling houses and finished with the eventual explosion that could only be described as a mushroom cloud of embers and black mist. Blackbeard had made his move and managed to hand over Ace to the Marines for his impending execution.
The pieces were slowly coming together…
The Thousand Sunny had been on the open sea for a good few days following the recruitment of their new Shipwright Franky, battling through the Marine blockade but now that they were on the open sea for a while now and Nami was able to make her navigation easier thanks to the Sunny's systems. "I'm not quite sure how you made cola work as a fuel source but this is way better than anything I expected." Nami complimented Franky as she kept an eye on her Pose.
"Never underestimate my carbonated cunning…But we should probably plan out our next move; You said that the Log Pose pointed down when you talked to Granny Kokoro…My guess is that the next stop is gonna be Fishman Island."
"That's a place?" Usopp asked curiously as he peered back to them with a fishing rod in hand to try catching something along with Chopper who watched.
"Of course it exists!" Sanji said with the biggest smile anyone had ever seen. "An underwater city that is full to the brim with wonders of the deep sea." He trailed along as his cheeks burned pink and his cigarette puffed out a heart symbol. "Not to mention that it's one of the biggest spots for mermaids…The ocean's true shining pearl~!"
"There it is…" Zoro mentally groaned as he swung his sword down in practice and looked to Nami. "Speaking of, how exactly do we get there? The last time I checked with what Franky said; This ship can't exactly dive under the water." He poined out and then lowered his training sword.
"It can't…But that doesn't mean that it's out of the question: There's an island nearby called the Sabaody Archipelago…It's a tourist spot but it's also a checkpoint to get your ship coated with a special lacquer, we slap that on the Sunny and we'll be good to go diving under the sea." Franky mentioned as he finished checking over one of the cannons on the side of the ship.
"So we have a plan…We should let Morgan know so we can all be up to speed." Nami mentioned as she left the helm and went inside; "Franky, make sure we stay on course." She requested as she shut the door behind her and decided to go check on her missing captain.
Meanwhile in another part of the Sunny, two Devil Fruit Users were testing the ship in a completely different way though it was also a more daunting test for one such person; The room was practically steaming like a sauna and filled with the sounds of heavy moaning from both parties and the smacking of two bodies writhing together.
(WARNING: Lemon Section/Lewdness ahead, feel free to skip ahead if this isn't your thing to read.)
"Gh! Mah-gah! I…I'm…I'm gonna…" Robin's slightly slurred voice cried out as she felt her climax building though she had difficulty with her lover's fingers gently pulling on the side of her mouth to toy with her, she had taken on the task of trying to make Morgan into a better lover for Nami as a thank you for saving her at Enies Lobby...However down the line, this training went from several hours into several days since they've been out at sea.
"Hold it for longer! You've had your fun teasing me for the last few times in this "training" so now it's my turn!" Morgan's voice roughly growled as a sharp smack rang out and brought another heightened yelp of pain and pleasure from his bedmate.
The lessons were straightforward at first; Simple things like using a massage to pamper and please a lover to demonstrating sweet spots on a persons body, by the time that both Morgan got the lessons down pat and built up his stamina: Robin's attention to detail and her growing desire for more quickly derailed their "Lesson Plan" into things that would make even the most passionate of couples blush.
Neither of them heard the knock at the door or the lock click as a slow creak opened up the door; Nami had intended on being cheeky to peek but instead saw a vision of passion and tantric lust that she could only recognise in vintage art pieces…Only this time it made her feel incredibly warm rather than awkward. "This…This is what they've been doing down here for a week?" She thought to herself as the pent up heat in the room hit her in waves.
The bedsheets had all but been thrown to the other side of the room along with both pairs of clothes and it looked like a few books had been dropped to the floor. The curtains were drawn and it looked like the bedposts had some knotted fabric tied on them like they were meant to hold something down but the frayed edges gave away that it wasn't successful, the biggest and most captivating sight however was the two bodies that barely even stopped to take notice of their voyeur.
Robin's tanned yet slender body was bouncing back and forth against Morgan's marked and muscular body with the rhythm of a rabbit in heat and judging from the look on her face, Nami could see that whatever she was trying to teach Morgan had come back with a sweaty, lust fuelled vengeance. The archaeologist was whimpering and moaning out in longing for her captain's manhood as he kept plunging it deeper into her though it seemed like she had coaxed out his Devil Fruit Powers in more than one way.
One of Morgan's muscular arms tensed with his hand gripping onto her hair to keep her back in a sloping arch while the other upper arm was around her face, stroking at her cheeks with his thumb and teasing her mouth by slipping a couple of his fingers in, his middle arms were coiled around her upper body and cradling her ample, heaving chest to stimulate her by keeping her moans at a higher octave, though that was often overruled by his index fingers and thumbs pinching and squeezing at her stiffened nipples to bring about a yelp or a higher pitched squeal depending on where his piston-like hips thrust into.
His lower arms however were working a different part as one hand was resting on her ample hips and the other was ready to smack her rear again, though it looked like he had a few tries at that already as there was a dark imprint of his hand against her right cheek. "FUCK! R-Robin, you better be ready because I'm abou-"
"DO I'! I NEE' 'OU, I'LL BE 'OOD!" Robin cried out in return as she both knew he was about to blow at the same time that she could feel her ongoing pleasure reaching another high, the leadup to her climax had been denied long enough when her Captain decided to toy with her, stopping his loving at the moment she was about to blow…Leading to her screaming obscenities at him for this and his impromptu idea to use his fingers to gag her, it had been a rather unappealing thing for him to do to her at first but as she felt his pounding return, she realised that it awakened something in her and did nothing to stop her already slick body from burning any hotter.
"I-I feel like I should be stopping this…They're really get out of…Hands…." Nami mumbled as she then gasped and snapped out of her hazy mind to realise what she had been doing; Her hand had shrank back out of her open pants as she had noticed that she was feeling hot herself and her fingers were rhythmically rubbing against her own crotch. "Holy…I don't know whether I should feel jealous about Robin poaching him…Or jealous of him for getting the first crack~" Nami thought to herself with her own mind swimming but with Morgan's final thrust deep into his dark haired playmate, Robin let out a scream of orgasmic delight that bordered on the transcendent and the operatic.
(Lemon section over, now back to your regular story)
Both Morgan and Robin collapsed against each other on the bed as they felt all of their energy drain out from their "Lesson" and simply let the aftermath wash over them. "So…How was that for a final test?" Morgan asked as he was desperately trying to get his breath back while taking in the sight of the very tired but equally radiant looking Robin wrapped around him.
"You…You….Flying colours…" Robin could barely slur out a coherent sentence as she collapsed on his chest with heavy breaths from herself as she snuggled up against his hot but still soft feeling body. "My word, he actually managed to tire me out… That's a first~"
"Yeah…I think…I think I'm done now…" Morgan joked a little as he felt his body go limp with exhaustion and decided that he needed to let his adrenaline slow down.
"So this is what the two of you have been up to for the last week or so~?" Nami asked, finally finding the chance to speak up after watching what she believed was the sight of something amazing; "Though you could have just asked me and I would've helped~" She added with a pout on her face.
"M-My apologies, Nami…But this was something that I had to do for our beloved Captain on my own…After everything that I've done and with the lengths he went to to help me…This was the least I could do." Robin mentioned tiredly as she lifted her head to see the pouting Navigator and chuckled a little; "Though I think we should refrain from this for a little while…This man's managed to exhaust both himself and me~"
"I noticed~" Nami teased at her though a lingering thought stuck in the back of her mind; "I always had the upper hand when it came to pleasuring him since I could always surprise him…Now that Robin's given him…whatever this is." Her thoughts ran wild at the idea of Morgan doing to her what he did to Robin and while it scared her to imagine going through that, that's what made it hotter. "Good God Robin…I think you might have created a monster in the sheets as well as the streets."
"I-I'm sorry Nami….Robin wanted to keep this one a secret so that I could surprise you with what I learned." Morgan apologised as he tried to keep coherent enough to explain since he knew this was a bad situation to get caught in; "But Robin told me that this was a good way to be a better lover and since you've always been good to me in this kind of way…I wanted to show you the attention and care that you deserve in return."
Nami wanted to give Morgan a reprimand for keeping something like this from her, to snap at him for not giving her a heads up and making her worry. Unfortunately she couldn't exactly fault his logic and more specifically: The fact that his first thought with this wasn't to try bagging Robin before Nami could but that he was genuinely sincere about this whole thing…It made her heart melt a little when his focus on her made his eyes glow with the faint but still intense fires of passion.
"If you must be angry at someone for this, then be angry with me…I had intended on simply showing and using books but admittedly…" Robin added but even the look of afterglow and her blush made it even harder for both Morgan and Nami to take their eyes off of her in all her radiance. "I am a perfectionist and got a little too into teaching him." She said with a weak chuckle as she sat up in bed, not bothering to cover herself since both of them were seeing her at her most open. "I did question him about your relationship when we started…I held off on claiming to be part of this until I got an answer from you."
Nami was confused for a moment since her gaze wasn't exactly on Robin's face at the moment but then snapped to attention; "O-Oh! Right…Yeah, our arrangement is pretty simple with two conditions; If we both have a person that we like then we tell the othe-"
"Ah, I see…So you have a polycule in mind?" Robin asked as she felt a small smile grow; Having seen different kinds of relationships and trysts in certain books, Polycules and harems were one that came up fairly frequently but she was glad that this was the former. "Have you included anyone else in this besides the possibility of asking me?" She asked curiously, not wanting to assume that she had an automatic in because of their lessons.
"Well, There was Mozu and Kiwi from Water 7." Morgan started as he counted on his fingers.
"Before that was Conis and Laki on Skypeia." Nami added as she had a fairly lecherous look on her face when she remembered both girls from the Sky Island. "Though Laki was a happy accident~"
"Vivi too…" Morgan added though that seemed to bum both him and Nami out since they realised that out of the group in the Grand Line, Vivi was probably the most complicated to make a legitimate relationship out of for either of them.
"Hmhm~ Sounds like these two have been pretty busy." Robin thought as she saw the pair trying to recount their past encounters until she heard one that she wasn't sure would have been a go ahead.
Nami then grinned as she looked to Morgan; "Though I think you were giving eyes to Nojiko back home too~" She teased her captain who seemed to blush at the idea of both of the Cocoyashi Village girls on his arms.
"W-Wouldn't that be kind of weird though? I mean, that IS your sister after all." Morgan pointed out as he did have some feelings that bordered more on confusing when it came to the bluenette.
"Well…We're adoptive sisters so it's not exactly breaking any rules…Though I'm pretty sure we agreed that if my mom was still…Here, then she'd tell us to try sharing you to stop us arguing over you." Nami remarked as her grin widened when she saw Morgan darkening in colour. "Come on, you really can't tell me that the thought hasn't crossed your mind at least once~"
"It certainly seemed to have crossed your's, Nami~" Robin teased the Navigator who very quickly turned a similar shade once the shoe was on the other foot. "I'm not sure if they are that eager to prove a point in their relationship or…Actually no, they're both fairly big perverts~"
Before Morgan could try getting another word in, a loud creaking and the sound of the waves came from outside, drawing their attention. "Sounds like we should probably check that out." He said as he climbed out of bed before starting to get dressed, giving both Robin and Nami a view of his own side of their lessons: The man had ended up with nail marks along his back and some barely healed hickies and bites along his neck and shoulders which could thankfully be shielded by his shirt collar.
Once the trio were dressed and above deck, they ended up seeing something that was definitely not on their expectations: A colossal island was in their vision, shrouded in what looked like dark, stormy night and more foreboding than anything else was the castle that sat in the deep thicket of what looked like haunted woods. "What's going on?!" Morgan asked as he looked to Franky who was at the helm. "Did we reach another island already?"
"Can't be." Franky mentioned as he looked to the map; "I'm not exactly a navigator but I do know that this ain't the island that we're meant to look for." He explained but then saw a mouth close behind them and trapping them inside of the barrier surrounding the whole thing. "And we can't exactly get out now that they shut the front gate…"
"What even is this place?" Usopp asked as he, Nami and Chopper certainly felt unnerved and more than a little frightened at the prospect of a haunted island. "I…I think I'm catching an "I can't step on that Island" Disease just by looking at it!"
"AH! Is it contagious?!" Chopper cried as they flinched back while forgetting that they were the Doctor on the ship and rushed to grab their doctor's bag while Usopp geared himself up with every exorcism and spirit repelling equipment that he could.
"We can't get out of this whole thing thanks to that gate…" Sanji grumbled as he then turned to the island; "But we also can't just sit here and wait for whatever trapped us in here to show up."
"We don't even know what island this is…"
"Then we go explore." Morgan bluntly stated as he was holding on to a bag and walking towards the edge to overview the "island" with an almost excited look in his eyes. "I mean, at best we can explore something that isn't on a map and resupply at worst."
"He does make a somewhat good point." Zoro shrugged; "But regardless, we still need someone to hang back and watch the ship." He pointed out as he realised that Morgan was out of this selection by default.
"I'll opt to watch the ship…I think I might be able to help keep track of things up here easier." Robin offered as she gazed out at the desolate looking forest that was a few feet away from the bay.
As the group started dividing their ideas, Franky took the chance to show off the Docking System he made and felt his grin stretch when everyone got excited for Mini Merry II; Nami, Usopp and Chopper all decided to test it out on the water while the others stayed behind.
Morgan listened as he watched Franky show off the others but there was something that made him feel on edge, whether it was the atmosphere or the fact that he was still trying to recover but something was off.
Then a low, predatory growl was heard as a napping Zoro got sent flying from where he was and crashed into a wall. "What in the-" He groaned as he sat up and looked around after the shock wore off.
"Hey, Moss Head! Get your head out of your ass and help!" Sanji yelled as he got on guard once he realised that something attacked them, it certainly didn't help that he noticed Morgan had his eyes shut. "You know what that was?"
"H-Hey, let me go!" Robin protested and struggled as it looked like something had her in a bear hug, though she quickly had a look of disgust as a sudden sheen of translucent liquid began to pool on her chest and lead up her body towards her cheek.
That was all it took in a few seconds for Morgan to dash forward and then delivered a quick but equally powerful palm thrust to whatever clung to Robin. "Get your hands off of her!" He yelled with a bit more anger in his voice as he felt his hand make contact followed by a loud crash as several barrels splintered apart in an explosion.
The shape then groaned as it slowly began to take on a more visible form; This particular invader was wearing a white button-down shirt, blue slacks tucked into his boots and black boots. A round white hat with a blue mark had fallen to the side in his dazed state but the most out of place thing about this particular person was the lion muzzle stitched to his face. "H-How the hell did you know I was there?"
"You bastard…" Sanji growled as he walked over towards the person along with Morgan and the others to better question him. "How dare you lay your slimy hands all over Robin."
"To answer your question, we could see your indent around her when you grabbed her but I have to agree with my friend here…So how about you make it easier on yourself and tell us what you planned on doing here." Morgan said with a similarly cold expression to the lion man.
"Grr…As if I'd ever reveal my plans to a lowlife Pirate like you!" The lion man growled again as he then looked to Robin. "Though I could tell you if you let me have another li-" He barely had a chance to finish as Robin used one of her sprouted hands to slap him…hard.
"Disgusting…" Robin muttered as she looked to Morgan; "If I would probably guess, he's come from the island that we landed on…But I supposed if those abilities are what I think they are then he could have landed on our ship from anywhere."
"He can't have…Besides I know exactly what Fruit he got this power from." Sanji said with an unusually specific point. "Back when I was a kid, I found this book on Devil Fruits and read through it out of curiosity…When I saw this specific Fruit, I knew that I had my dream in mind…But then I dismissed it because it was probably a myth with how rare Devil Fruits are…"
The lion man glowered as he looked up at Sanji who was now looking angrier when they made eye contact. "Y-Yeah…Maybe I did come from Thriller Bark but that's all you're gonna get out of me!"
"The Suke-Suke no Mi…It has the ability to let someone turn invisible…A pervert like you doesn't deserve a Fruit like that!" Sanji yelled as he could feel flames forming around him in righteous fury, or his version of at the very least.
"View must be great in that glass house of his…" Both Zoro and Morgan thought together as they watched the Straw Hat's would-be womaniser roar to the heavens.
"Wait…I thought finding the All-Blue was your dream?" Morgan asked with confusion as he remembered the talk they had back at Baratie and never once did he mention a Fruit.
"It is…But as a man, it stands to my duty…no…My destiny to possess this power! Think of how many windows and baths I could peep in on with that ability!" Sanji babbled on as mental images of Sanji at a window peeping in on Nami in her bath or watching Robin changing…Though this pipe dream had flushed down the toilet since this Fruit had an owner.
"How is that any different from me?! I, Absalom am truly the one who deserves the front row seats to find the perfect bride!" The now named Absalom cried out in protest as the two argued with each other.
"They're both idiots." Morgan stated bluntly as he looked to Absalom; "So what exactly is this island, anyway? We couldn't see it on the map."
"That's because this isn't an island…" Absalom decided to shed a little light on the matter as he sat up; "This is Thriller Bark, one of the biggest ships ever conceived to travel under the cover of darkness!"
"How is that even possible?" Franky asked himself as he looked to the forests and felt a bad feeling sink in when he saw the Mini Merry II docked nearby in the grip of a giant spiderweb that had now caught the Sunny too. "Who the hell would need a ship like this?!"
"I refuse to spill anything more…Once the rest of us find you, then you'll become another zombie in the crew!" Absalom sneered but then felt his anxiety grew when he saw Sanji exhale the smoke from his cigarette and Morgan cracking his knuckles.
"Hey Sanji…You wanna pickup a kickaround game to loosen up before we land?" Morgan asked with an almost evil grin.
Sanji looked to Morgan then to Absalom as his own smirk grew. "Oh, yeah…I even found a ball." He said as he then kicked Absalom towards Morgan who then kicked him back.
Robin and Zoro watched as the Lion Man bounced between the two like a pinball when they noticed that Franky was unusually quiet. "Something wrong?"
"If that lion thing is right and this entire island is a ship…We might need to go after the others who went in." Franky admitted and then started adjusting the controls for the docking system so they could disembark. "Something about this place creeps me out."
"And STAY OUT!" Both Morgan and Sanji yelled as they simultaneously kicked Absalom off of the ship, sending him rocketing across the water and into the trees.
Morgan then headed for the anchor to drop it before jumping onto land. "Franky's right, if that lion dude came from here then we don't wanna risk what else could be down there…Especially since Usopp, Nami and Chopper might've gone in there on their own."
"NAMI! YOUR KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOUR IS COMING TO SAVE YOU!" Sanji cried out as he sprang off of the Sunny's deck and made a mad sprint into the island while yelling for Nami.
"You know…If it was anyone else that started going after Nami like that, I'd have kicked them in the head." Morgan grumbled to himself as he walked into the forest at a slower pace but keeping equally alert.
"I never would have you pegged you as a defensive man~" Robin said playfully as she gently pulled her arm around his so they interlocked and walked together. "But I don't mind it, all it proves is that you are as loyal as you are passionate." She mentioned as she somehow felt intrigued by Thriller Bark's dark and dreary atmosphere.
"I try to keep that part careful, nothing says passion killer more than getting possessive." Morgan pointed out as he listened to the ambience of the forest and decided to address something while Franky split off with Zoro to make sure he didn't get lost. "So you're…okay with being a part of all this? I know that you wanted to repay me saving you back at Enies Lobby but I don't want you to just be a part of mine and Nami's relationship if you just feel like you have to."
Robin turned to look at Morgan curiously. "Do you want me to be a part of it? I know I haven't exactly started our relationship on the right foot with Alabasta or letting things get out of hand like that earlier…But I do know one thing for certain." She said before adjusting her hands to wrap around Morgan's waist and gently squeezing him into a hug while letting her head rest on his shoulder. "Thanks to you and everyone else, I've resolved to live a life that I know I can be proud of…But with just you and with Nami, I know that I can feel love for someone else and be loved in return."
Morgan smiled a little and started to gently stroke her hair, causing Robin to almost melt in his arms. "If you really want to be with me and Nami on this then I promise to make sure that you keep feeling that way...As long as we keep communication open and we're honest." He assured her but then remembered what happened before and felt a slight chill up his spine. "Although I think when Nami caught both of us with our pants down, she's gonna make sure that we pay her back in full for not including her."
"Well, she didn't seem all that angry at you after you explained why." Robin said with a soft chuckle as they separated and continued to walk. "Though I can imagine someone like her would definitely think of something to put you through your paces."
Morgan nodded though he couldn't help but feel a little worried, if someone like Absalom snuck onto the ship from this place then it probably didn't bode well if Nami's group was wandering around on their own in a spooky island.
It didn't take long before a large dog broke out of the bushes and stared down both Morgan and Robin with a menacing growl; This creature looked like a patchwork of several animals together but it was a three headed dog who looked hungry on all heads.
"Cerberus? I didn't think this island would use such a thing as a guard dog." Robin mentioned as she eyed the creature with curiosity rather then the fear that the monster was expecting. "He is rather cute looking though~"
Morgan smiled a little; The fact that he liked dogs overrode his initial worry as he walked over to the three headed hound; "Alright, take it easy…" He calmly said to the dog as it growled at being found by another group of people and snapped at the straw hat wearing man.
Robin watched the whole thing like she was merely watching the man she had recently become attracted to coax a puppy…A very large, three headed puppy with stitches all over that started to bound towards Morgan with the intent to rip open his throat.
"Hey." Morgan said with a more calm and serious tone as he stared down at the dog trying to charge him. "Sit." He simply remarked with a cold tone and an unbreaking gaze that seemed to bore holes into the three headed animal.
The hound quickly stopped in their tracks as they could note the change in the man's demeanour as it felt that same primordial, instinctual fear that all living animals seemed to share; If it tested Morgan now, they would definitely die. With an almost regression back to their prior mindsets as animals, the three headed dog let it's back half drop down to sit and remained as still as a statue.
"Good boy." Morgan grinned as he gave the inner head a pat before he got up and let it be, thankful that it was that easy to dispel the monster's anger but then stopped when he saw a very raggedy man shuffling up to him out of the shadows. "Let's keep this at distance, who're you?" He asked and kept a cautious watch on them.
The man grimaced as he held up his lantern; "Someone who desperately needs your help…" He croaked as he looked to both Morgan and Robin as they were eyed cautiously. "If you are trapped on this island too then you are at risk of being taken."
"At risk of what exactly?" Robin asked curiously as she noticed that as the light shone on the raggedy man's face, there was a rather odd absence of his shadow in the light.
"Those who venture on this island will end up like me…Having your shadows stolen and made into minions for his unholy crew." The man said as he then looked to Morgan. "You're pirates, correct?"
"Yeah, we are…But right now I'm more focused on finding my friends and getting out of here." Morgan admitted as he then glanced around, the threat of being enslaved and manipulated now made his concerns validated.
"No one can escape…" The Man said with a dreaded tone and looked around the woods like he was worried that he would be caught. "If you truly wish to survive at all, let alone escape…Beware the man in the tower…" He urged both of them before yelling out in pain and collapsing to the ground, the sight of an iron ball hitting him in the back made it clear that he wasn't alone. "Beware…Gekko Moria…"
Morgan turned to the sounds of morbid laughter and saw a mob of monstrous looking figures; Some dressed up in rags, some in suits and some clutching onto weapons that threatened to mangle a man just by a mere scratch. "Robin…"
Robin nodded and brought her arms up in her fighting stance. "Let's conserve ourselves for now and find the others, if this is what awaits wanderers…Then our entire crew is at the mercy of a Warlord of the Sea on his own ship."
