" ALL HANDS ON DECK GET READY TO DROP THE ANCHOR AS SOON AS WE MAKE CONTACT WITH THE DOCKS!"

good lord how could things get any worse? Stuck as the defacto head of the mafia since the captain got up and defeated by some hotshot in a battle, they say hes missing a leg and now being shipped to marineford, something ill have to deal with when we finally sale over there. Just from that event alone you can see why i have my plate way too full for anymore drama in my day but it seems fate really doesnt like me as out of nowhere a freak storm began to rage out at sea catching me and the crew in the thick of it. Not one of us had any in depth knowledge or the skills to navigate the boat out of the storm on out own, thankfully we didnt have to as one of the crew members spotted an obscure docking bay some odd distance away.  With more than a little bit of effort on my part we made it to the docks in relatively one piece, no immediate damage to the ship or its people and thats as good as anyone can ask for this time around.


"Ah hello, welcome to the cavern docks we cater to all types of people wether it be pirates bounty hunters or revolutionaries, marines arnt welcome here and by your atire i see that wont be a problem"


During the time me and the crew had anchored the ship and got everything settled in terms of inventory it seems a small portly man with quite n impressive yet silly mustache had approached me presumably for greetings and to check on who the new comers are.

"Thanks for the welcome but were only going to be staying here til the storm passes then will be on our way, do you have a bar or anything stationed here? i could use a drink"

The man i know new as Grant was only too happy to show us towards one of their more prominent bars near the docks, the rest of the crew was only to happy to grab a quick drink not noticing the copious amounts of people going back and forth between another ship and a building heavily guarded with soldiers.  


(Well well well, that looks interesting is it some type of cargo perhaps? it has to be something important if its so heavily defended, i want it)

Greedy thoughts lingered in my mind even as grant ushered us into the bar, buying us drinks on the house before disappearing off to who knows were. I waited a few minutes, taking my time with the alcohol and my crews general mood, before telling them what i saw as we made our way to here and more importantly what i planned to do when the storm passed.

"Seems this dock is currently housing somesort of cargo worth enough to guard with armed soldiers no less, How bout we take it for ourselves boys? i dont see any of them with guns in hand so taking them on wouldnt be too troublesome, the real problem is the storm raging outside. Long as the storms out there theres no way we can sail though i have noticed it dip in intensity itll probably be sorted out in an hour or so then will make our move"

I waited for a hint of surprise or a sign of acceptance but only akward silence came from the rest of the crew, the silence persisited for a few seconds before someone finally spoke up. A fishman wearing what seemed to be blue shorts and a white shirt was the first to speak his mind... i remembered his name as venny or something

Venny:" That sounds cool and all but what are we gonna do to distract the guards, you did say the place is heavily guarded right? sure they dont have guns but a person with a sword can be just as dangerous do we even have a chance"

The rest of the crew nodded there head in agreement to the fishmans words, it seems their fears are within reason but luckily i somewhat of a plan.

"Look its simple, for you all that know me you can tell i dont like heavy thinking and detest convoluted plans so what i have cooking up is very simple, ill take on the guards at the front gate, making up a rucose so you can go in from behind and take as many things as you want of course there will be a seperate group of up to 3 people at the ship getting it prepared to sale out immediately. Once we get back on the ship its smooth sailing from there, anything unexpected will just work out as we get there"
