The Tyrant and the Wannabe Pirate King. A Mighty Clash Between Two Zoans!

 Somewhere in the New World, on a particular island 

Glory: Now remember, the Log Pose will reset in 5 hours! So make the most out of your time here, everyone!

The Jolly Pirates except Glory: Roger!

''It was yet another average day of peace and serenity for The Jolly Pirates. Today was particularly good for them, as they had made it to dry land once more, amidst the chaotic waters of the New World. And to be honest, most of the crew was growing anxious to stretch their legs and get back onto land as well. So once the pirates made landfall, they went to work on restocking their equipment and relaxing amongst themselves. Once they refilled their necessary supplies, Glory made the announcement that they still had 5 hours to kill before setting sail once more. So the others decided to make the most of their remaining time by doing various activities. Chris, for instance, began to sulk when he remembered that he couldn't play in the water; but once he got over it, he went to work by entertaining his crewmates. Most of his performances included his favorite out of all of them: Impersonations. While the crew was enjoying the day to its fullest, one member was feeling rather bored. He had been leaning up against a palm tree for a while now, and was trying to keep himself occupied by either watching the ocean, or his nakama play around with one another. Soon, he grew bored with this too. He sighed in dissapointment. Another crew member took notice of this, and decided to investigate.''

Sakura: Hm? Something wrong, Spike?

Spike: Huh? ...Oh. Nothing's wrong, Sakura. Just feeling a little bored right now.

Sakura: Bored, ay? Would you care for our traditional sparring matches then? I can make some time for it, if you'd like.

Spike: Nah, as strange as it sounds, i'm not really up for sparring right now. I think i'd like to take it easy for a little bit.

Sakura: I see. To be honest, I wasn't really expecting that, coming from you. Though I guess it has to be the day that's affecting your judgement, I suppose.

Spike: Guess so...

Sakura: So what shall you do instead, then?

Spike pushed himself off of the tree by pressing his back against it, thus lifting himself back into an erect stance.

Spike: [yawns] ...Not sure. Probably go for a walk around the island and see if there's anything interesting here other than shops. Be sure to let the others know that i'm gone for me, will ya?

Sakura nodded in agreement.

Sakura: Sure thing. Enjoy your stroll.

Spike waved slightly to Sakura and smiled in return.

Spike: Thanks.

''And with that, Spike made his way off towards some random direction, not even knowing where he was going. Elsewhere on the very same island however, a rather unsettling event was beginning to take place.''
