The Dark Skinned figure of eddie walked out of the Cabin Stretching his back to release a loud crack while he yawned. Screams filled the stage. But no one was concerned as it was only Vox practicing her Metal Scream, a form of strained voice to emphasize lyrics when accompanied by Metal String
Pace walked up to Eddie and handed him a News Paper. "Bounties got updated sir." Eddie took the paper gingerly. Holding one eye shut from the bright light above. "Hmm…101,444,000. Lot of fours huh? Thats a bad omen in some places." He slammed the paper back into paces chest playfully as he continued to walk
"Guess that means that we got away scot free once again." He fingered his leather jacket off the hook near the deck and continued to stride across the wood of the ship
"Reckless Musician, Hendri 'The Rocker King' Eddie continues to fill the air with vile sounds called 'Music' that has said to, in recent years has even effected the Holy Ears of one Saint Pazder of the Holy Celestial Dragon Lords and declared the music as 'A insult to all forms of art and an injury upon not only my but all other Gods of the world.'"
Eddie rolled his eyes and smiled "Drama queens"
"Ya think?" Pace set the paper down on the table that was out on the deck. "Eat up cap." Hook said sauntering over and tossing a chair around like a rag doll to sit in it backwards as a cup of Coffee and captains Breakfast was in front of him on a platter
"Thank you Hook." Eddie sipped the scolding liquid. "Ah~ Mocha. With plenty of cream and sugar.
Scampering crossed the deck, a set of three feet. Small androgynous three figures stopped. All wearing basic shirts and tight shorts. Hair just the same. Hip, hop and pop.
"Captain!" Hip started "When are we- agh!" Pop pushed them out of the way "Whats the next Island!" Eddie looked at the three through his shades. They were all about 5 and a half feet tall take a few inches for one or another. Despite their looks. They weren't related at all. They'd all just found each other naturally, and served as the entertainment/dancers on stage during shows
"Yes yes! When! We've got a new dance all planned out!"
Eddie grinned. "Is that so?"
"Yeah!" Pop gestured for the three to step back with them and they began to move. "It goes like this-" They did a quick cross of their legs and spun around before stopaping and facing sideways "Then like this." They started at their hair and moved their hands slowly down to their hips to rotate and face back "And then-"
Pip and the other two did a hop, but they weren't well coordinated to each spread their legs on landing, which caused all three to fall on top of each other
"Yahaha!" He laughed a small tear in his eye "I think that might just be better on stage than the dance."
"Hey don't tease..egh…" Pop complained with a grimace as a hand was reached out. Clef specifically "Oh you know not to mind Caps antics."
"He can be such a jerk!" Hop said "Yeah!" Pop added "You two are insufferable…" Hip said. When in reality each of them tended to switch who was annoyed with who or who was the most energetic of the three.
"Sabaody?" Pop asked "Whats that?" Eddie scratched his head "Honestly I don't quite know. All I heard is that its a pretty soapy place…"
"Soapy?" Pip asked in a cute voice "Yes. But I don't quite know what that means."
Eddie sat on the edge of the Stage. The sky overcast as he adjusted his 8 string bass

"That same song cap?" Tune said walking up with Vox and Eddies Drummer. "Its just…Heavenly. Its just a good riff to play to really test your things while you tune."
"But I din't do anything?" Tune joked.
"Well you must've. Whats the weather look like friend?" Eddie continues as Vox sits next to him and kicks their feet
"Storms comin. Too calm. Storm Glass said so too. It'll be a big one too." Eddie frowned slightly.
"What do you recommend we do then?" He finished tuning.
"Well…It's not like we've got a map of the Grand Line. We're going off of hearsay and loose directions and the Log Pose. But right now…" Tune fished the log pose out of his pocket. It was different than the modern one Kirk wore. It was like a compass, a cover hinged door on the face that flipped open. It was a bit more ornate aswell
"The Nautical Pose is the Same." Nautical Poses were just Log Poses but Older than Logs, they were identical in function. Just bigger. It was like a Surveyor's compass, standing on a wooden tripod with a large crystal lens and a needle inside. A small sight to help navigate down to the degree
Eddie adjust to see what he was being so vague about. The Log…It wasn't attracted to anything. Just shaking and spinning trying to go from place to place
"Hmmm….Maybe we should weigh anchor. Stay here until night and see if you can use the stars to navigate…."
"Aye. Okay." Tune nodded
"Alright everyone! Lower the anchors! We're gonna be taken a rest till nightfall!" Eddie called. Cheers coming from the crews ship operators who leaps from the rigging and others to the side of the ship to watch as others lowered weight
