Time flew by as they headed up the stream. Fidel though was not as impressed as he initially was. It was a amazing thing, Fidel couldn't lie about that. But it was not something that made him super excited during the entire time. That didn't mean his heart was racing as it was. One mistaken can cause the ship they were on to fall back, or he could fall like he did before. Fidel was cocky though and felt that even if he fell from so high up he'd survive, even when that isn't the case. That was just a part of him that'd never really go away. He'd look over to Bill who seemed to no longer be drunk. His big toothy smiled showed that he really was excited for this. Looking around he saw that everyone else on this ship also had some excitement.
Suddenly, a few books would hit the top of Fidel's head. Though he was sick he'd be able to grab at least one before it would join the rest in the waters below. Renji seemed to also get caught off guard but didn't fall to far back like Fidel had done. He was the furthest toward the front of the ship, since he was on the mast. Everyone else being behind him. How Fidel felt about the guy was the same as he felt about Bill, just a little less. You could say they were strangers but Fidel saw them as more than that, just a few bonding moments away from actual friends. So maybe acquaintance would be the best world to describe Fidel and Renji.
Fidel would notice that they had pierce through the clouds, and began to smirk. The amount of time that had passed was the amount it took to reach the white-sea. Speaking only for himself this was the highest he had ever been in his life. It was peaceful and so white. Never within his life had he thought he'd be on a ship above the cloud. Upon arrival those below deck on the other ships would come up. Fidel noticed someone on their ship going down but didn't see anyone come up. There also was two guys standing at the entrance to head below deck. Fidel did not like this as they didn't give the impression they'd let anyone pass. He also was glad he didn't head below deck like Bill asked, as he might not be seeing this.
"Bill, I spoke with Micheal and he wants you and those three to join him on his vessel. We still have a days journey left til we reach the next point so he wants to speak with you about somethings." The Navigator would say. He didn't seemed like he was asking them but rather telling them. Fidel was going to protest and make up a lie to go below deck. But before he'd move from his spot Bill would place his hand on his shoulder.
"Coo, coo. He must want us to do something specific." Bill would say keeping his toothy smile up. "Fidel. Renji. Let us not keep the Man that helped us get here waiting." And with that Bill would put Fidel and try to put Renji underneath his arms. To carry the two short boys. He didn't want to wait for them to pull the ships together and this was the fastest way. If he got both of them or just Fidel he'd leap upward and toward the ship of Micheal. You could mistake his movement for geppo, but it was only similar. Why he did this was to simply speak with them without the wandering ears of anyone.
"Micheal is dangerous. Both of you stay on guard, as something fishy is going on." Bill would tell them or just Fidel, seconds before landing on Micheal's ship. How he knew this was Micheal's ship was because the giant of a man stood on it. He was even taller than Bill. There was a aura about him that somewhat consumed Fidel a bit.This man was nothing but trouble. Fidel kinda already knew that but at this time it was as if he was in front of a entirely different person. Bill would let them or just Fidel down. If Renji opted to wait till the ships got closer together he'd miss the first chunk of what Micheal would say.
Micheal "The Tyrant" BiZo
Bounty: 167,000,000
"I still can't believe you decided to join up with me again Bill. And you brought a.... Micheal would look over Fidel. He spoke with Fidel a few times as he had a decent bounty. Micheal also knew Fidel's former Captain so he has seen the boy around a lot.
Sleeping beast with you. Nice to see you made it up the stream Fidel. " If Renji had come with Bill via being carried he'd also say something to him.
"I don't know you but if you are with Bill. You either have the potential of being a Monster, or already are one. Regardless, thank you for joining us." Fidel would say anything at all as he couldn't speak. He didn't know why but he just couldn't even get his mouth to open, so he just nob his head. If Renji didn't get carried at this moment he'd be able to board Micheal's ship.
"So, what is it that you wanted to talk to us about?" Bill would ask.
Micheal would reach over and grab a large barrel before sitting down on it. He'd look at the three and then turn his direction upward.
"Bill because of our past I want to be honest with you. My goal is not the golden city as I had advertised to those on your ship. The world has begun to change and I need to get ahead in it." Micheal would raise his hand and one of his crew mates would rush over with the most recent news coo. He'd given Bill and the others time to read over everything before he'd speak again. When Fidel go the paper he'd only pretend to read it.
"A lot of things have been going on while we have been relaxing on Jaya as you've read. But, the most notable is that the Red King actually has a son. That boy alone has got me wanting to move again, but not to go after some title of Supernova. I've been in talks with my Marine contact. And the World Government is cooking up something good, that could benefit pirates like me. Like us. I offer you three the opportunity to become one of my Nakama. I do not what a answer right now, rather I want you to show me." Micheal would say up as they had just arrived to Heaven's gate.
You could see that there were people of varies ages there outside watching the two ships pull in. Unknowing to Bill, Fidel, and Renji the third ship had not traveled in the same direction as them. The only ships here were the ones they had been on. Micheal would tap his bare feet twice and two of his crew-mates would head below deck.
A Elderly Woman would fly onto the deck of the ship.
"Welcome! Welcome! It has been almost a year since the last travels have come up here. You've probably have had a rough journey so I won't keep you long. We need to just get a head count of how many of you there are. Then we'd search these vessels of yours. Any illegal cargo will be confiscated. You may not know what is illegal and legal here so you won't be fined. You will though never get it back." Before Micheal spoke each vessel had ten white berets would storm the ships. They took head count first before heading below. Gaining permission to check was no needed as they were within their rights to do so. On Micheal's ship they only found a large surplus of weapons. But, before the ones on Micheal's ship would carry them up the other ship wold erupt in chaos. One White beret would head back above deck,
"ARREST TH-" But before he could finish what he wanted to say. A bullet from the navigator on the ship's flintlock piercing his skull. That would act as a domino effect as everyone from Micheal's crew would begin to slaughter everyone, without any remorse. Only a few of them would leave the vessel to attack others at the Heaven Gate terminal.
Finally, Fidel had regained his ability to speak. Honestly speaking he would not come to the aid of these people. He knew that some slaughter would happen. But, before they could stop Micheal they needed to learn more about his plan. As they knew his only goal wasn't the Golden City, well Bil knew. Fidel would look at Micheal and Micheal would look down at him. And out of nowhere Micheal would kick Fidel and send him flying off of the ship. Bill was going to attack due to this but Micheal would speak.
"That boy is corrupted. I didn't notice it before but at one point he was poisoned. If we stood by him any longer we'd have gotten infected as well." Micheal would say bluntly. The poison that Fidel was exposed to came from the crate that let out some gas prior to them riding the stream.
"What happened to those you hired to come." Bill would ask as when he looked at the other ship he still didn't see any of them.
"I gave them their payments before hand. And their job was done while he traveled here." Micheal would say before whistling. Those that left the ships would return and the two that went below deck would head back up. Both of them holding musical instruments. They began to play and two creatures would emerge from the white-sea and latch onto the ships.
"From the looks of your face you won't like to known what happened to those others. I won't attack you if you now dont want to join me. But you will have to lea-" Bill had already left the ship to check up on Fidel. He had been sent through a building. He wasn't dead but severely injured. Hopefully Renji would join Bill in checking on Fidel, or even those that were attacked at the terminal. If he wanted to head up with Micheal he could and wouldn't be stopped. But, if he stayed with them he will be tested. As this act of carnage was just a taste of what they had planned when they went to the White-white sea. Regardless only one of the White berets would survive and make it off of the second ship. Hopefully Renji joined Bill. As Bill was not like most ex-pirates. He changed at one point in his life and began to help more people than he had ever hurt. If Renji didn't stay that was fine. Bill would pickup Fidel, as he was Bill's main concern. He'd find the med bay quickly and place Fidel down there. He wounds weren't that bad that he would die if left unattended. So, first thing Bill did was head back out to grab anyone else that he could save. The heaven Gate terminal seemed to be it's own little place. As he wasn't the only one helping out as those assigned with taking care of the people here, that weren't White Berets would do what they can. Bill and his speed and strength help in mainly getting them to those people in the med bay. Hopefully Renji would also do the same. After getting those that could be saved was done Bill would go to work on Fidel himself. But, before he would start he'd notice the strange eyes of the boy. His black eyes with glowing irises made Bill uneasy.
They were also so warm to Bill simply because he was a member of their race. He couldn't hide his wings any longer as he needed them to move around quickly and do what he could to help out. He already felt something strange was going on.
ooc: After you post I'll make another topic. That will be the main one for the GV. You can either head up with Micheal or stay with Bill and Fidel.
