Rocco would once again find himself in a difficult situation. Having gotten lost he would run into a gang and would be surrounded by them. None of them had any guns or anything like that, so it wasn't as if Rocco was worried about getting hurt. Mainly because he was a pirate, getting hurt was apart of the job. He needed not be scared of breaking bones either. Rocco's pretty much broken almost all bones in his body at least once. After going after these ideas, Rocco realized why he was even in this situation in the first place. He just didn't fuck these guys up as soon as he noticed that they weren't nice people. But kids were around and showing them such a sight wouldn't align with Rocco morals.

A few minutes later Rocco would lean the alleyway, leaving behind a grizzly scene of various body scattered, inside the walls and around the floor. Rocco was a bit cheerful though. He managed to get a quick workout though. But now he honestly needed to meet back up with his Captain. He's been gone for a while and with Rocco's sudden transformation it might be hard for Rocco's captain to recognize him anymore. Rocco would snicker for a second. With Rocco's hairstyle, there was no way anyone could be mistaken for him or Rocco could hide his identity. Which is a good thing and a bad thing. If Rocco wanted to go undercover he wouldn't be allowed to due to his hair. Eh but if Rocco really wanted to he could change it.

While finishing his thought Rocco would hear an explosion. Which is never a good thing when in a populated area. Or in general really. Which meant Rocco's captain. Rocco knew his captain was the type of person to attach attention to himself. Annnnnnd doing so would attach a lot of attention. It would Rocco quite a bit of time to get there though, being that it was so far away. But when Rocco finally arrived the scene he was met with was one he couldn't have imagined. It was his Captain on the floor burned. Rocco instantly felt a wave of anger, sadness, and confusion. The anger being the most apparent because it was the strongest feeling radiating through his body.

"No fucking way!" Rocco would shout dashing towards his captain's body. He would notice the girl next to him though and would notice that she was holding his captain's shades. In which he got angrier snatching the shades. "WHO ARE YOU?! AND WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?!"

Rocco thought about what could have happened. He said to meet him, and then the next time he meets him he's in tatters. Rocco effortless picks up his Captain as he attempts to get the attention of Risaka. "Wait, Wait, I need your help. I need to save this man. No matter what!" As soon as Rocco said those words he could hear someone yelling in the distance. "HEEEYYYYYY, WAIT UP!" After a few moments, Rocco would recognize it as the Nurse who gave him the miracle medicine. Which turned his hair red and fucked up his eye appearance. As the nurse stopped in front of Rocco she would then look onto Baioretto and would shriek as the appearance of Baioretto wasn't usually something that she saw. "What happened to this man?!"

Rocco would retort quickly. "It doesn't matter..." Rocco would then think. "Listen, I will pay you anything you want, all you have to do is save this man." The nurse would think for a second before she would adorn a devilish smirk. "Anythinggggg?" Rocco would get chills down his spine at the thought of whatever she could be thinking about. She would finally answer though "Fine, I only want one thing. I want to survey you some more, the information would be very valuable for the Professor." Rocco would raise his eyebrows "That's it? You just want to watch me and gather information?" She would think for a moment and then add onto her request "You also have to feed me and find me nice places to sleep" and Rocco without ever thinking would reply with "Deal, now save him"

Rocco would place Baioretto back on the ground as the nurse would reach into her pocket and would pull out a small jar. "Rub this on his burns...." She would hand Rocco the Jar and would reach into her pockets once more pulling out some more medicine. But this medicine looked less grandiose than the medicine that she gave Rocco. "Painkillers, give this to him as well. If he is going to get through this he is going to have to take the pain. And as bad as the burns are, they are going to leave some bad scars." Rocco trying to process all of what she was saying, starting to put the gel on Baioretto's wounds. Whether Baioretto would wince in pain, Rocco didn't care. As this was going to save his life. Rocco after applying the gel would smell the gel and his nose would feel as if it was burning. "What the fuck is this gel?!" The nurse after wrapping Baioretto's wounds after the gel was put on them would reply "This is a special Gel the Professor made to heal burns. It's supposed to hurt like a bitch, but at the moment your friend seems to need everything that is in the gel."

Rocco would pop 2 painkillers into Baioretto's mouth if he swallowed it would be his choice, but it would be better if he did. Rocco didn't feel like hearing his Captain's screams for a long period of time. As Rocco would lift Baioretto back up he could hear the yells of Marines in the distance. "YOU, GIRL DO YOU HAVE A SHIP? IF SO LETS GO, WE CAN'T STAY HERE!" Rocco would say as he would dash off with the nurse following behind him.  

After hearing the animal guy speak, Rocco remembered that he came to the island on the ship. But what was he going to do about Hiro? Where was he currently anyway? Rocco shook his head as he reassured himself of the fact that Hiro could take care of himself. If would be able to find them sooner or later right? Hopefully... but at the moment. Rocco needed to get his Captain off the island. He would yell back to Risaka as he ran with his Captain in his hands. "You know the ways of the sea? I don't really know where I'm going most of the time while I'm on land, some trying to find my way at sea would probably lead to me killing me and my Captain." After hearing whatever reply Risaka gave Rocco he would continue moving to the beach where the ship was.

"We gotta get out of here, as fast as we can!" He would jump up and place Baioretto on the deck. Rocco himself would push the boat back to sea with his strength as it was barely on the beach anyways. After steering the ship out to sea he would look back to see the Marine shooting towards the ship for a minute before heading back inland. Hopefully, Risaka was able to get onboard and it just wasn't him on the ship with the nurse alone. "You know, this wouldn't have happened if you had a better Captain!" Rocco would shrug "Ehhhhhhh, I don't know about that. But I believe that he is the best pirate out there right now. I would say myself but I'm a pirate by technicality not because I wanted to." The nurse would squint her eyes and would go back to tending to Baioretto.

Rocco had to admit, watching those to go to work on his Captain was kind of amazing. Rocco didn't really have a nack for medicine he just had a nack for breaking things, himself included. But that was besides the point, right now Rocco had no clue of what the course of action would be next. Where were they going to go? Rocco would make his way to the crow's peak. Looking out to see if he could spot anything, ANYTHING that could show them where to go. After looking out for a few minutes he would hop down and would begin talking to the bear. "Hey bear, listen, if I scared you before just know I didn't mean to. It's just I was in a life or deth situation and I had to act fast." Rocco would put his index finger and thumb and the edge of his eyes. "Anyways, since we are going to be on the same boat for a while let's at least get along yeah?" Rocco would stick his hand out to shake the hand.

If the bear decided to partake in the handshake Rocco would smirk delightfully. Having good relationships with people on the same boat would be good. If the bear didn't shake his hand he would understand. First impressions were key to understanding someone sometimes. And the way Rocco protrayed himself wasn't really in a good light. And while he didn't care about that most of them time, he didn't enjoy things like akwardness on board. It didn't really make the experience worth while. Currently Rocco would be sitting on the side of the ship looking out to sea exploring the options the crew had. What was truley next for the purple hearts? How long would it be before they got their Captain back?

As the ship was drifting further away from the busy docks of Mock Town, Kuba, as the navigator lead the ship close to a few peaking small islands surrounding Jaya Island. Kuba finally felt at ease, when he was behind a steering wheel of a ship it was an overflowing joy for him. But when Rocco approached to him he went completely silent and went into a scaredy position. His stare was blank and his body shivering. He didn't know how to response to Rocco when seeing his rugged appearance. But with friendly words and a smile the Kuba would ease a tiny bit,nodding as he gently shuck Rocco's hand. Kuba might've been a scaredy cat, but a gentle giant. ''Y-..Y-yes! It's nothing to worry a-about me! Y-you don't seem so bad afterall!''



Another day rises, the ship was located behind a rocky peaking island, a position outside of anyone's view from the main island. It had already been three days since the encounter with Baioretto and Rocco. Risaka was for once outside on dock, laying on her side and sleeping neatly on her own, she didn't wanna sleep in a room with too many, a bit of an anti-social gal. With the sun rising slowly and hitting her face she finally woke up, yet another day of waiting. They had no idea when Baioretto would wake up, was he in a coma? Seems like there was more than some burnt body, she had great worries for him and needed to ask him, ask him about what he was saying back at Mock Town.

After hearing Kuba's yells Rocco couldn't help be react. From his yells, it sounded serious...like Rocco's captain waking up kind of serious. Rocco had various thoughts rummaging about in his head. But Rocco was going to enjoy this. Rocco would make his way towards his captain. Stopping right in front of him, and squatting down. Rocco had this sort of unsatisfied look on his face. He would open his mouth to say something but he would stop himself. Instead, he would raise his hand and would slap Baioretto's face. "You said this wouldn't happen again. I didn't expect to save you for the second time...." Rocco would put his hand on his chain, thinking about what he just did. Rocco was one of those people that didn't want to regret anything they did or said.

So he would get up and would take a step back and would smirk not as well as his captain but he wanted to welcome him back to the world of the living. "Welcome back....person in charge of the ship" Rocco would say before chuckling to himself and would run back to the front of the ship. There was something Rocco wanted to do on Mock town as well. He wanted to see if he could get some new clothes. The ones he had on were raggedy, a new appearance was due since Rocco already had a change of hair color, why not end it off with some new clothes. It would only be fair right? Rocco wouldn't even need to be face to face with his Captain. Whatever he said to Rocco wouldn't matter. All that mattered right now was that he was alive, and for now, that was all Rocco needed to know.
