A Pirate Conspiracy and a Terrifying Foe! The Jollys' Unexpected Find.

 In the New World, just a ways beyond the unmarked Spire Island 

''In this very location, near an inhabited island, a sight could be seen as it drew closer to the harbor. From the horizon, it appeared small, although as it came closer, it began to grow in size. Growing, growing, growing... Eventually, key details could be spotted as what appeared to be a ship came into view. It was large, and appeared to be a Galleon of sorts. It also seemed to have two figureheads protruding from the front of the ship, and what looked to be some kind of round tower on top of its main mast. In time, a symbol could be seen, displayed upon the ship's main sail in a proud fashion as the breeze from behind pushed it forward. The symbol was that of a skull and crossbones, making it a pirate ship no doubt. But... The crossbones seemed... Different somehow. And the skull appeared happy, not the least bit intimidating. Eventually, one could make out who exactly owned this pirate vessel. As it came closer to the island, its passengers could be seen and overheard. They appeared to be up to something.''

Wyatt: Oi, what's he doing sleeping at a time like this? Is he STILL napping after the celebration we had a while back?

Shinku: Not sure... Try poking him, or kicking, or... Something.

Wyatt: What? No way. You do it!

Shinku: Me?! I don't even have feet, stupid!

Wyatt: Ya got fingers, a head, and a tail, dont'cha?

Shinku: Still though, I suggested it first! So you should do it!

''Indeed, it was none other than the festive Jolly Pirates, up to some form of nonesense and no good antics as usual. Their mermaid singer and scout, Shinku, and their sniper, Wyatt, were busy hovering over an unconcious body they found on the deck of their ship, The Jolly MK II. They seemed to know this person however, and so further investigation was required.''

Wyatt: If you're trying to get me to do things for you, like that baka okama, Aphro, then you can forget it! I mean, what if he's... D-D-Dead...?

Shinku: DON'T SAY STUFF LIKE THAT, YOU JERK!!

Wyatt: I JUST DON'T WANT TO TOUCH A DEAD BODY IS ALL!! THAT'S GROSS!!

Shinku: WHY BRING IT UP THEN?!!

''Just then, a new figure showed up from behind the two. He appeared to have an inquisitive look on his face. He looked at Shinku and Wyatt as if they had done something bizarre.''

Spike: And just what are you two arguing about?

''Wyatt and Shinku pointed to the body on the floor. Spike peered over at it to check it out.''

Spike: That dumbass... I bet he overdid it again. He sure can sleep through anything though, that's for sure...

Seeing three people surround an assumed sleeping body, yet another person stepped up to check out the scene.

Rex: What's going on? H-... He's not dead, is he...?

Shinku: NOT YOU TOO!!

Rex: Hm? What'd I do...?

Spike: Heh, I have to say, Rex. For a minute, I thought it was you down there on the deck.

Rex: Really? I don't sleep that often, do I?

Wyatt[sighing]: Yes, yes you do...

''Spike returned his attention to the sleeping young man on the floor. He gave the lay-a-bout a decent kick to the side, thus forcing him into the air for a second or two, before falling back onto his other side. The young man's face and hair could be easily seen by now. The hair was orange in color, and the face looked rather tough in appearance. The young pirate groggily began to get up, groaning in the process as he scratched his rear end.''

Timber: Ugggh... Who hit m-...? [notices Spike standing in front of him] ... ... ... YOU JERK!!! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?!!!

Spike: WELL WHO THE HELL SLEEPS SO LONG AFTER RECOVERING FROM HIS INJURIES?!!!

Timber: SO SUE ME IF I WANTED TO PARTY JUST A LITTLE WHILE LONGER!!! NOT LIKE I COULD DO MUCH WITH APHRO AND KAREN WATCHING ME LIKE HAWKS!!!

Wyatt and Shinku[sighing]: Great, they're fighting...

Rex: Zzzz...

Wyatt: Hm...? THE HELL, REX?!!! YOU'RE ASLEEP NOW TOO?!!!

''Shinku merely slapped her forehead with her palm in dissapointment. However, being the klutz she was, she accidentally hit her head a little too hard, leaving a red handprint where her hand had made contact.''

Shinku[tearing a little from the pain]: Owww...

''Amidst the chaos of the scene, a young woman could be seen walking out from the main hatch on the floor, and approaching everyone who was present. She seemed to be happy about something.''

Glory: I see Shinku's not at her post again, big shocker there...

Timber and Spike[in the midst of hitting each other and pulling on their faces]: Hi Gworwy... (Glory)

Rex: Hm? Something up?

Shinku[mumbling]: When did HE wake up?

Glory: In fact, something IS up! I decided to do some checking, and found out that there's an island not too far from here. In fact, we should be seeing it some time soon now.

Wyatt: OK, not that that isn't great news and everything, but how could that put you in a good mood?

Glory: Well, remember the big feast we had a few days ago? Back when Rex joined us?

Spike: Oh yeah... That food was great.

Glory: It also drained us of our remaining supplies relatively quickly. Seems having an extra mouth to feed is starting to affect us.

Rex: Wait, are you saying this is my fault?

Timber: How rude, Glory! Rex is our nakama now, so we shouldn't blame him if Hanuman's a pig!

Glory: I WASN'T BLAMING ANYONE, STUPID!! ... Ugh...! Anyway, the island seems to have people on it, so there should be some shops.

Spike: Ah, so it's shopping day, huh?

Glory: Yep, and you guys know what we're going to need.

Rex: Wait, what do we need other than food?

Wyatt: Eh, don't sweat it, Rex. I'll explain everything later, once we make landfall.

Glory: Speaking of landfall, be on alert for-

''Just as Glory was talking, out from the ship's lounge room could be seen a VERY jolly Jolly Pirate. He appeared to be dancing some sort of silly dance, in celebration of who knows what.''

Chris:[singing]: Next island~! Next island~! Be on the lookout for the next island~! Could be above us, and it could be below~! In the New World, you'll never know~!

Spike: Is that what you were about to warn us of, Glory? [a sweatdrop forms on the back of Spike's head]

Glory: Err, yeah. Seems Chris is awfully excited today, so when I told him about the next island, he started singing that increasingly annoying song, and began to dance around like a baka. I was going to warn you of how annoyingly catchy the song is, but...

Shinku: "Next island~! Next island~! Be on the lookout for the next island~! Could be above us, and it could be below~! In the New World, you'll never know~!"

Glory: Crap! Now Shinku's doing it too...

Spike: Hehehe... Song or no song, it definately will be nice to get on dry land again after being out at for so long.

Rex[muttering to himself]: Is the island really that far from Spire Island...?

Chris: Oi, guys!! I can see the shore now!! Let's get ready to depart!!

Timber: Aye aye, captain!

Glory: See what I mean? Excited. He must've woken up on the right side of the bed or something.

Chris: Docking Jolly~! Docking Jolly~! We're now ready to dock Jolly~!

Glory: NOT ANOTHER ONE?!!!

''The scene continued on like that for quite some time, all the while, The Jolly MK II finally reached the harbor, and in time, had its anchors dropped and its sails raised. The Jolly Pirates were now ready to leave the comfort of their ship, and start their next adventure on this island.''
