Act 1: Stopping a pirate
Perila was in her room sharpening her blades while sunlight was beginning to poke through her circular window located above a desk that was placed to the right of her bed as she laid on the floor next to the tools she was using to sharpen with, it had been nearly two days since the Phantom Riders and Mashyuu friend Sofia had arrived on Jordsand, everyone was doing their own thing until something that required most of their attention would show itself however, Perila in the two days she had arrived her mind had been focused on Mashyuu words they shared shortly before they departed from Jaya to the island, "You know... I don't know what your goals are overall, but to defend yourself in this world, you're gonna need to get better at fighting."
It was true from the moment that she became wanted by the world government she had been in numerous fights that seemed to be getting more dangerous than the last, she had been preparing for a life of combat for most of her life but her goals...she didn't know. All she really wanted was to be a knight for the skypiean army but fate would not have it her way, so what was she to do now? Perila didn't want to be a pirate that much was clear, but she couldn't become a marine either, so what was left for her? Thinking about the matter made her sigh heavily as she finished sharpening her blades, her mind did shift back to the pirate she had killed when she first arrived, she did regret taking a life after promising to spare it but the information she found made it all the more important to permanently silence them as they were working for a pirate named Gustahn who was succumbing anyone they defeated into mining the precious material known as seastone on the island and forcing them to fight in the arena just for food and water as punishment taking way any hopes and dreams they had in their lives.
It was unjust, but it wasn't her problem. No, that's not right. Perila knew something had to be done, she had already let unjustness go on once before and didn't try to put a stop to it, she couldn't bear it a second time knowing it was happening, but the real question was what could she do about it? From the facts she already know the pirate known as Gutahn already held a significant battle force on the island meaning this wasn't a one person job, the thought of asking Mashyuu and his crew to deal with the issue flickered in her mind but she immediately dismissed it, she had made the same mistaking with relying on her father and now he was dead, if she was going to do this she would do it alone, one way or another.
Perila tilted her head back on the bed as she begun to think about how she was going to stop Gustahn, he was an enforcer but those under his rule were taken by force, so that means that the amount of trust would be at a constant level of near-breaking point, she could use that to her advantage but how would she get them to trust her instead? Perila thought more on the manner and came up with a plan, a dangerous plan. But first, she would have to actually get inside Gustahn forces, meaning it was time for a search.
As Perila looked at her two blades she decided to take the one she had all the way from Skypiea, with her plan she didn't know what would happen and she certainly didn't want to risk losing the gift that Mashyuu gave her. Now that her mind was set it was time for her to get ready to leave, she proceeded to her closet taking out her long light blue cotton sweater with ovals separated into lines stitched into it in three different sections from top to bottom with long sleeves, then a pair of short booty pants, then proceeded to put on a pair of long heeled boots that were white at the bottom while being a slightly darker shade of blue than her sweater with even lighter blue around the top, and finished off her look with a simple white and blue striped scarf around her neck thus completing her outfit, she quickly wrapped a belt around her waist and tightened it before slipping the Skypian blade between it safely and then immediately rushed outside for her seemingly dangerous task at hand.
- Outfit:
As soon as she stepped outside she decided from this forth on she would not use her devil fruit abilities because if any of Gustahn forces spotted her, her plan would be that much more dangerous as they would surely keep seastone on hand to make sure she would be powerless whenever they wanted her to be, on that note Perila now remembered there was a women who had actually gotten away when she attacked the small group but if the rumors were true about Gustahn, the loss of his forces would surely have him mad and he might have already either killed her or sent her to the arena, either way, she wouldn't be a threat if her reasoning was right. With that in mind, she began her descent off the Phantom Raiders ship onto the land of Jordsand, if she had to guess where a possible group may be the most likely answer would be near seastone could be harvested, but Perila herself has never seen seastone out in the open so possibly near caves? It was worth a shot she would say in her mind as she begun to walk towards the largest tree to scout out the area.
