Percila was carrying two barrels worth of meat as she walked down the Nil District pier, her hands  slightly cold as the barrel was full of ice to preserve the meat for the duration of their journey for the utmost freshness, she didn't imagine that when she left Baltigo she would be doing so from the same place she arrived from without Mashyuu and the Sky Cleaver but she couldn't deny that she was undoubtedly happy about having her own ship at last and what's more she was not alone. She looked over to Proan her navigator's way, he was looking out onto the sea checking the weather to make sure they wouldn't run into trouble right away because after all there was only two of them and although she had been out on the sea for quite a while she wasn't an expert at sailing and until there were more hands on deck he wanted to avoid rough weather as much as possible.

Percila leaped over the small amount of distance that separated her ship from the pier causing Proan to glance over his shoulder as she put the barrels down, "How's the weather?"  Proan gave her a smile and a thumbs up, "The weather is all cleared up, as soon as you're ready we can set sail!" Percila who had already been smiling was grinning ear to ear, "Great! I'll take this into our new kitchen and then I'll come to help you to prepare the ship for sailing." Percila took the barrels back into her hand as she made way to her new kitchen, back on the Skycleaver she had not entered the kitchen not once as she hadn't needed to as Mashyuus men provided all their meals but now with just the two of them, unfortunately Percila couldn't cook to save her life but thankfully Proan who had lived alone before his encounter with Gustahn acquired a basic level of cooking skill, Percila would make sure to eventually find her a real cook so responsibilities on the ship could be leveled out more but all she could do for now was chip in where she could to help maintain the ship.

After walking through the hallway she finally made it to the kitchen, for the price the ship costed her it was quite a good area as it came with its own stove and a grill for ventilation, a cool box,  a large walk-in closet of sorts for storing ingredients, a sink area to wash dishes and a large counter to work on so the chef didn't feel cramped. The room also had a bar on which to meals on although there was way more space than was actually needed for just her and Proan, whoever designed this ship thought of everything as the kitchen area even had it's own private bathroom far into the corner and opens up to the exterior with a window, no doubt so bad smells could not linger and potentially ruin the appetite of those wishing to eat. Percila snapped out of her admiration and quickly walked over to the cool box that was filled halfway with salt, she then began to carefully pour the meat into the box along with the extra ice so she didn't make a mess and take extra time trying to clean it up, a few minutes later she was done and then she put the empty barrels in the walk-in closet so they may be used at a later date before making her way back to Proan to help sail the ship.  

She quickly made her way through the hallways and back out onto the main deck, where Proan was already nearly eight feet into the air checking on one of the parts of the ship, "I'm back what do you need me to do!" she yelled out as there was a wind blowing and she wanted him to hear her clearly enough, "I need you to Check the lines, make sure that they are separated and not wrapped around each other or fouled on anything else, also make sure they have a figure-eight knot or another stopper knot on the free end so they cannot pull through the mast or sheaves and cause any problems." Percila heard all his orders but she had not once heard those terms before and her face told it all as it was completely blank and she just stared right at him blinking a couple of times, Proan who hadn't seen her move looked back to be meant with her confused face and realized he probably overloaded her with too much information for her first sail, "Nevermind I'll do it, errr..just check the wind direction or windex as we navigators call it, it's just a loose cloth tied to the top of the ship to determine where the wind blows" Percila right hand automatically flew up as if she was a sailor and saluted Proan, "Right away Captain!" She said jokingly before she spread out her wings as she began to flap them and lifted into the air to reach up to the top of the ship where she saw the loose cloth Proan blowing towards the Southeast, "The wind is blowing Southeast Proan!" Proan who Percila could only guess just finished checking another line yelled out, "Point the ship towards the wind direction then!"

Percila flew over to the helm and then landed, her eyes were sparkling as her hands moved in a creepy way as she was full of excitement, on Mashyuu ship she had been way too afraid of Sky to touch the helm but now here she was on her own ship ordered by her own Navigator to use it to help steer the ship, Percila carefully took the wheel into her hand as if it was some precious artifact while Proan who had just checked all the lines hoisted the sails causing the ship to move away from the pier and onto the open waters, at this moment Percila was overfilled with joy as nothing beat the feeling of setting sail for the first time on a ship that solely belonged to you and the allies you made along the way, as instructed she steered the ship Southeast while Proan carefully checked the rest of the ship.

After nearly half an hour of making sure the ship was steadily on course Percila had to guess they were about eleven or so meters away from the island now, Proan came up to her and gave her a smile as he used his left arm to wipe off the sweat that had gathered during his work, " You're doing great for a complete amateur!" Proan teased in the same way Percila always teased him, "Oh shut up, how dare you speak to your captain like that!" Proan put a hand on his chest as if he was shocked as he smirked, "Why..I thought I was the Captain" Proan teased before giving a light chuckle only for Percila to respond with a half grin of her own as she rolled her eyes before both of them looked further ahead out onto the sea.

"You know on Mashyuu ship I avoided going out onto the deck and the other facilities to stay out of his crews way as a guest, but now that I'm on the deck of our very own ship I don't think I would give up the open view for anything in the world, the sea truly is as vast and wide as the eye could see." Proan gave a light chuckle, "That it is, I traveled the West and North blue but I could never get tired of traveling the sea in general. Ah, speaking of the sea where is the log pose so I can begin tracking our coordinates to the next island." The air of peaceful and reflection upon the start of their new journey had been utterly broken and replaced with confusion as Percila didn't know what he was talking about, "The what now...?" Proan face grew dim as his eyes narrowed into an almost blank expression, "The log pose Percila...the thing that helps navigators find the kinetic energy of islands so they can set a course...that log pose..." At that moment Percila remembered Proan mentioning to her to get a log pose for their journey before she went to the bar, but she hadn't told him that on her way there she had gone looking for "Bandit King" Jackal only to actually find him which completely overwritten any instruction Proan gave beforehand, but she knew if she told him what she had been actually doing that day he would be more angry with her so instead she kept quiet as beads of sweat collected on her forehead and her lips became tight as she had nothing to say to quell his current disappointment.

"PERCILA!" Proan roared as his disappointment turned to anger, "I'M SORRY OKAY!? I TOTALLY FORGOT!" Percila roared back in defense although not as loud or nearly as angry as he was, "WITHOUT A LOG POSE WE CAN"T EVEN FIND OUT WAY TO THE NEXT ISLAND, WE COULD BE POSSIBLY STRANDED FOR A MONTH, LESS IF OUR FOOD SUPPLY DOESNT HOLD OUT!!" Proan spat the serious of their new situation and as she was the one at fault Percila could only shrink mentally as she was heavily scolded by her Navigator, Proan seemingly growled in anger at her before he took a deep breath and exhaled calming himself down and taking a few seconds before looking over to the windex, "Well lucky for you we have enough food to last us about a month and a half if we ration it well, all we can do is follow the wind towards the Southeast and pray to god we find land before we run out of drinkable water and food."

Percila spoke carefully with a slight nervousness in her voice, "Y-yeah...we're be alright...I...I'll just go to my room and think about what I have done." As soon as Percila turned to leave towards her quarter Proans hand snaked onto her shoulder and for that moment she swore she could feel the heat of his anger as if it was a real fire as he spoke to her, "Oh, so you think you can just walk away after causing this situation...~ YOU ARE HEREBY ON FISH DUTY UNTIL I SEE FIT TO RELIEVE YOU!" Proan suddenly exploded, Percila face turned pale as she went limp knowing he wasn't going to forgive her anytime soon, "Yes....captain~" Percila said as tears streamed down her face at her own pity.

Nearly two hours later here she was standing at the edge of the ship looking out towards the endless reach of the ocean, she was holding the wooden fishing pole with her right hand and was ready to reel with her left while waiting for another fish to become interested and take the back, she took a moment to look back at the empty barrel from earlier now occupied by four fish swimming in water that had tons of ice chunks thrown in to make the water extra cold so that once her punishment was served by her "Warden" it would be easier to transfer the fish to the icebox in the kitchen to be used as extra goods for food on the journey, but Percila signed as it had already been nearly thirty minutes since she caught her last fish which was a carp of a rather small size and she couldn't help letting her mind wander in her own thoughts about what she was doing, it had been a year and nearly four months since her untimely exit from Skypiea and less than a month since her sepereation from Mashyuu and up until now she had just simply following his pace but now she was with Proan and he relied on her which made her feel that more terrible for forgotting to secure a logpose for their journey, right now the situation just so happened to be favorable but next time the circumstances might be diffrent so she couldn't make a habbit of this type of accidents.

Suddenly she got a pull on her fishing pole and she didn't take action immediately to make sure the fish got a real clean bite and then she felt it unreeling the string even further as it was swimming away, she followed the line towards the sea as she began to reel it back in a little at a time but let it loose a bit but as she began to do so she thought she saw something in the distance and ended up losing her focus for a split second causing the fish to get even more of the line out causing her to snap back into focus and completely reel it in, to her surprise she found herself reeling in a rare treat as she was now looking at the elusive Pacific bluefin tuna which was known for its succulent meat.

But the thrill of her catch quickly fades as light shines directly upon her eye intensely for a moment causing her to flinch back as she closes it to avoid it, she waits for a moment before looking back into the distance to see that she did, in fact, see something in the distance earlier and now it was more of a black dot, "Hey Proan, there's something out in the water come take a look!" Percila yelled out to alert her navigator as she stood out at the edge only for the light to reappear on her clothing and was shifting around on her, "You're not fooling me to get out of you're punishment Percila..." Proan said plainly as he came out while reading a book, "No I'm serious there's something out on the water focusing light on me, take a look yourself!" Percila pleaded enough for Proan to rip his attention from his book and put it on one of the edges of the deck as he went into his left pocket taking out his spyglass and stretching it out as he took a look in her general direction, "You're right there's a ship with stranglers on it, their ship is damaged and their waving our way no doubt for a rescue."

Percila smiled widely at Proan, he then looked back at her while putting down his spyglass with a look of confusion, "What?" Percila smiled wider as she looked over towards the damaged ship and then pointed down at their ship, Proans eyes followed to the ship out to the distance and then looked back at her with even more confusion, Percila scoffed and then looked at him while pointing her left index finger out towards the damaged ship further in the distance, "We could recruit them to join us as our crew hand!" Proan then looked back out into the distance ship with a new look, a worried look as his hands found their place on top of his hips, "Percila I don't think that's a good idea, most often stragglers aren't looking to join ships but a complete hostile take over, it could mean trouble for us."

Percila sighed and walked in a small circle before looking back at him and stepping up to him, "Proan, as much as I like spending personal time with you alone we need a crew, our takeoff was fine but what if we're in a pinch and speed is of the essence? Do you honestly think only one person preparing the ship for sailing would be a good idea later on when more danger comes our way? Right now we have an opportunity to recruit and what's more, since we're finding them at sea we know there at least sea knowledgeable in some sense which is far less dangerous then recruiting in a bar in some island town where we could get complete rookies who hadn't;t even been on a boat before!"

Percila stepped back as Proan gaze shifted back out into the distance while he was sighing as if contemplating, "Besides, they're on a damaged caraval ship and their's only..." Percila waited and Proan responded, "twenty, twelve swordsmen and eight gunmen from the look of it." Percila continued with a smile as she stepped back up to him, "If that's all there is and they have no training, then I can easily handle them with or without you're help, and besides they might have some information on how to get to the closest island, if not I'll sink them and we can just carry on. There's no danger to us." Proan sighed heavily as she made quite the convincing case, he looked out onto the distance towards the boat then looked back at her and gave her a stare, "Fine, we try and recruit them, if that doesn't work we try to get information but if they don't talk we sink their ship and go about our way, that's a deal, alright?" Proan continued to stare her right into the eye and Pecila nodded in response as she truly thought this was going to work out.

"Alright then Percila, I'll change our direction towards the damaged ship, I hope you know what you're doing." Proan said as he went to the main deck to redirect the ship towards the one in the distance, "Trust me Proan, I am the one you chose to lead you, remember?" Proan gave a cynical chuckle as he remembered it, "I think I'm starting to regret my decision." Percila heard it and pouted, "How rude!"

Within nearly half an hour the Snow Peak was approaching the unknown damages vessel, "So what's the plan to get them on our side." Proan called out weary of Percila's methods, she thought about it for a moment but nothing came to mind. "I'll make it up once we get there." Proan sighed at her grand plan to get the numbers of the unknown vessel to their side but his worries were minuscule at best as he knows if a violent situation did arrive Percila was more equipped to handle the situation, now that he thought about it the last time he saw her truly struggle was when they meant and he hadn't seen it since and it made him wonder how far she had come since then and how he compared to her in terms of ability as he held the title of "First Mate".

Percila, however, had her arms crossed as she looked towards the damaged ship, its sails had circular burned hole marks, the mainsail slightly bent at a tilted angle as part of it seemed to be missing a massive chunk which no doubt a cannonball of sorts caused and the mainsails ability to use the wind was surely compromised, as she kept scanning the ship there were signs of burn marks all over the deck as well along with scattered fragments of shrapnel, the large group of the men had somewhat tattered clothing and their skin slightly black and ashy from trying to put out the fires on the ship she could only imagine, tallying all the signs together gave no doubt for proof of a sea battle and that made her happy as she knew she would be gaining a valuable crew hand if she could convince them to join her.

When the ships were finally right next to each other Percila simply leaped off of her ship onto the damaged vessel, "Hello there, who is the captain of this vessel?" The group of twenty men split towards the left and the right as a young adult male steps up in front of the group and gets onto his knees bowing, "Thank the heavens you came to save us!" He quickly waves his hand at the crew and they follow suit getting on their knees and bowing to her, "My crew and I have been stranded for weeks, thankfully we had enough food and water to sustain ourselves but after getting caught in between two pirates sea battles our mainsail was destroyed leaving us in the middle of the sea and we been stuck ever since hoping someone would save us!"    

"That's quite the sad tale mr.umm..." The man hadn't realized he hadn't introduced himself, "Guweiz" Percila continued, "Right, that's quite the sad tale Guweiz, however my service like anyone else on the sea is not free. All I ask is that those who want to ride my vessel join me under my goals as you're 'Captain' If you do I shall provide food, drink, and bed for each and every one of you on my vessel, those who do not wish to join will remain here and whatever god you pray to will decide your fate." Percila looked at the large group of men and saw weapons on just about every last one of them, "Still, I would prefer to have you all aboard my vessel as each and every one of you look capable of holding your own and fighting on the sea and it would be such a waste to not use that experience to aid a higher goal."

"And what higher goal is that?" Percila hummed as she thought about telling them the answer, "Hmmm, will you join me and find out?" Guweiz shared a look with the nineteen men behind him and looked back, "I believe I have nothing to say in the matter and we will humbly join you, let me give you a gift as a token of our appreciation." Guweiz rose from his bowed position and moved forward towards Percila who stood with her arms crossed only to open them when he got within a meter of her, Guweiz reached into his sleeve as he spoke, "We shall award you, with the honor of dieing at sea!" Guweiz declared as he pulled out a dagger and thrust it forward aiming for her heart, but his movements were so slow, incredibly slow to the point to Percila it looked like he was moving in slow motion as she could observe every contour of his body as he made his move to attempt to kill her but it was unfortunate that Proan was right and she would have to probably course them into joining by force.

Percila straightened out her right hand's fingers as if they were her blade and made a quick smooth motion as she used pure straight breaking off the sharp dagger from the hilt with what would be lightning speed{4}, as the result of her fast movement the broken off dagger flew in the direction of her hand slash landing into the side of the deck with a thud. Her movement had been so fast she was able to move her hand back to her side before anyone was none the wiser, Guweiz who was completely unaware of her movements "stabbed" her only to realize there was no blood and he could not feel the impact of the blade impaling her skin causing him to jump back in shock only to finally realize his blade was gone, this also caused the other men present to all point their weapons at her in preparation for a counter attack.

"Dammit! I don't know who you are but there is no way we would willingly give ourselves up and join a pirate as indentured servants!" His declaration caused the man behind him to roar in approval as the gunners took off the safety latch while swordsmen brandished their blades  as they formed a semi-circle around Percila, "Give up while you can, there's too many of us and were be taking your ship and getting off this damn sea!" Percila hummed to herself once more as she thought about the situation, "So you think by corning me with all of you're men your completely overrun me and eventually take my ship to go as you please? That's all well and good but what if I win and you're all completely overrun?" Guweiz and a few men shared a look and gave hearty laughs while Percila stood there waiting for a reply, when Guweiz noticed she was serious he stared into her eyes only to find sheer confidence and that made him feel a bit uneasy, "If, and I mean IF you can defeat us all then we're do whatever you say." Percila smiled, "Then it seems we have an agreement"

Proan who had been watching in the distance whistled as he held a cup of ale in his hand, "Don't hurt them too badly or there be dead weight" Once again Guweiz men laughed but this time he didn't join along, "Shouldn't you worry about your captain? Why don't you come down and help her, although the odds are still greatly against you gigigi." Proan took a stance laying the top half of his body against the edge of the ship as gave a half smirk, "There is certainly a great disadvantage but I'm not sure it's her that you should worry about."

Percila held up her right hand as she gave a slight smirk wondering where she stood ability wise against twenty men while holding back, "I believe that's enough talk, come at me as you please. Ah, but I suggest you be careful with your guns as it would be a shame if any of you got shot." Among the man, someone had yelled out, "GET HER!!"A group of four-man roared in agreement with one of their own's statement and thus Percila was now being rushed by four men side by side of each other rushing at her from six meters away, Percila held out both her arms making sure to not use below even half of her muscle power{1 Strength} as she rushed at them with a smooth and single step motion{3 Speed}, the result of her movements would catch two of the four men by surprise as her speed left them with no time to dodge or counter before she grabbed each of their skulls and thrust their heads together knocking them out without hurting either one of them too bad, but Percila immediately grabbed both of the unconscious man's arms before they fell to the floor and followed up by instead throwing them two opposite ways at the other two men with slightly greater force{2 Strength} with a slight twist of her hips causing them to collide with the others as they flew slightly before sliding along the deck unconscious as well.

Percila once again stood back up on her feet straight as an arrow while she shook her hands up and down, she wasn't a fist fighter and preferred the way of the sword but she didn't want to cut any of the men down as she was hoping they would keep their promise towards the end when she defeated them all because she was going to defeat them all one way or another but of course she would say nothing to them and simply let them find out the depths of her strength for themselves. "What's wrong? that's only four that challenged me and theirs still sixteen of you left, come at me with no passion as if I was an enemy at sea." Percila provoked the men as she slipped into a martial arts stance as she held a focused gaze as she bore each of the sixteen men as if judging their abilities.

Guweiz who had been extremely confident was starting to see now that the person that challenged all of them was beyond their capabilities of handling but yet as the Captain of this vessel his pride was great enough as to not concede defeat in the presence of all his man, he looked back at the remaining man and even they seemed slightly spooked as they took a few steps back creating more distance despite being close and able to rush her all at once and he knew he had to take the reins on the situation, "YOU HEARD HER MEN, SHE IS AN ENEMY SO STOP FOOLING AROUND AND GUNNERS LINE UP AND TAKE YOUR SHOTS, NO MATTER HOW FAST SHE IS SHE CAN'T DODGE ALL OUR BULLETS AT ONCE!" The shouts of Guweiz as he himself loaded his gun taking aim at Percila spurred his men to follow suit as all seven remaining gunmen stepped forward forming a new semi-circle to hit her from eight different angles, "FIRE!" The moment Guweiz gave the order Percila's wings wrapped around her while turning black as she activated her Busoshoku haki as a defensive layer just right before she started getting pelted with bullets, the feeling of them hitting her wings was akin to the sensation one might feel when getting a message as the bullets force bounced off of her causing mini vibrations all over her wings.

Despite Percila's enjoyment, Guwei and his men were less than amused and in fact, we're now quite scared as they realized their bullets weren't working as they could see the moment they hit her wings they were slightly crushed only to fall to the floor like little rock pebbles, although it took a few moments most of the men lowered their guns to save ammo as they realized it was pointless. Percila who had been enjoying the sensation up until that point stretched out her wings before closing them back up by folding them behind her back, "As you can see the type of ammo and ranged weaponry you possess has little to no effect on me, once again come at me with you're remaining men or else I will come to you."

Percila waited for anyone to step up but on the contrary some men stepped back and she closed her eyes as she sighed before locking her sights back on the men, "Very well, I'll be coming to you then, know this brings me no pleasure and you brought this on yourselves by not taking my offer from the beginning."

Percila unsheathed her blade and throw it up in the air above them causing them to look up in fear of it falling down and impaling someone however it was merely a distraction as she rushed forward pouncing on the group like a cheetah{4 Speed}, as she got in to the middle of the group she spun around on her pivot foot while her wings spreading open just as quick with some power behind it {1 Strength} pushing the group to the left and the right separating them, she then took the sheath from her hip and swirled it around in her hand positioning it just right for the actual blade to slide back into the sheath before slamming it on the ships deck with significant force{3 Strength} causing a small two meter radius around her to crack from the pressure while keeping the remaining sixteen away from each other split between the left and right of her as she stood in the center.

Now with the group split they couldn't all gang up on her at once making her task much easier leading her to turn her attention towards the left as five of Guweiz gunners ended up on that side and they were the most annoying to deal with, even with the ability to make their bullets ineffective like she stated earlier they still did small amount of damage to her without haki and even with her ability to turn logia their type of ammo was faster than her timing to activate the ability, had Guweiz not basically announced their plan she may have been hurt by the mass spray of bullets but with her on the attack their chances of success at shooting her were far less, she just hoped none of the gunners were stupid enough to shoot in the middle of her assault.

Continuing as planned Percila although a swordswoman by nature changed her style just for this occasion by using her sheathed blade more so like a blunt instrument and readjusted her strength and speed to a lower level to not hurt anyone permeantly {1 Strength, 3 Speed}, with her grip tightly attached to it she swung it from her left hip over to her right hitting one of the men on their right rib bringing them down to their knees, when one of the men saw that her left was now open they tried to seize the moment only for her to swing it back across aiming for their forehead knocking them out temporarily. Although there were now only fourteen men standing her actions had only brought her just enough time to take out the two as she was quickly surrounded by five swordsmen, each of the five unsheathed their blades and attempted a unified overhead strike but Percila quickly dropped to the floor bending her legs as she thrown up her sheathed blade to block the five others while her feet were behind as support, using her position Percila used both of her feet to kick her sheathed blade upwards with significant force causing it to soar up high into the air{3 Strength} which in turn caused the five swordsmen to stumble back giving her enough time and a small radius of space to place her hands on the ground and get back onto her feet as she jumped high into the air to catch her blade before it fell back into arms reach, she then flapped her wings to fly and relocated herself on one of the sails to get higher ground.

"We got her on the run!" One of the men yelled out loud judging by her retreat, Percila's left eyebrow curled at Guweiz mans words as they were getting rather cocky compared to their attitude they had just earlier, Percil wasn't quite enjoying this either though and it was time to wrap this up as she didn't want pirates or god forbid marines finding them in this strange situation. Percila bent her knees from her standing position and jumped into the air reaching fifteen meters while curling herself into a ball as she shifted herself to face directly downward that would allow her to fall directly on top of Guweiz and his man, in reaction all the swordsmen pointed their blades straight up on the assumption she would allow herself to keep falling and impale herself onto their blades.

They were sadly mistaken as the moment Percila got within two meters of the tips of their blades she activated her logia ability for the first time since coming onto their ship, the result was that the crewmen were shocked as nothing but smoke swirled around them causing them to cough by the sudden inhalation of Percila's smoke, Guweiz who had been somewhat quiet until this moment was now breaking out in cold sweat as he knew what ability she had, "A devil user...logia class!!!" he murmured to himself as he gritted his teeth, Percila shifted herself into her regular form but not before separating a portion of her smoke into a ball that she then molded into her own figure and densifying it to make a clone of herself, she then tossed her sheath blade to the figure and it took hold of her blade, "Let's finish this." Percila said and her clone nodded.

With her clone Percila began to move at her max speed while her clone moved a beat faster, both of hands had their thumbs slightly bent and behind her fingers, in this hand formation her arms were now bladeless blades as although she wasn't a martial artist at least in this way she could move similarly to how she usually does while being able to hold back her power more efficiently than with her blade while her clone was capable of moving at max speed it had no power and thus with the two of them they could clearly finish the task without causing any real injuries. Her clone and she moved fast parrel of each other as Percila went right immediately swinging her hand and chopping one of the men at the base of the collarbone before ducking down and sweep kicking them off their feet while holding back significantly{1 strength}, her clone that had gone to the left and thrusted the sheath blade right into the gut of a men that had been standing directly in front of it and then twirled it in its hand and did a upward thrust below the jaw knocking them out, the clone immediately jumped to the right swinging out its left leg kicking another man in the neck and landed back on its feet, just in time enough to block two incoming sword strikes with the sheath blade.

Percila did a double backflip moving toward her pinned clone and then spun around to chop the two swordsmen in the back of their necks allowing her clone to move freely again, however, Percila left herself open and a man came from behind her attempting a sword strike while Percila could see one of the few gunners conscious was aiming for her smoke clone, Percila immediately made a straight dash for the gunner performing another sweep kick causing them to lose balance and fall only for her to take a step in and elbow them in the side of the face causing them to fly forward a meter while her clone blocked the swordsmen strike with her sheath blade and then spun around slapping them with their dense smoke wing causing them to stumble back before throwing the sheath blade directly at their forehead as they jumped in the air to catch it, then swung it back down on top of their head knocking them out and landing on the ground

Percila and her clone now only had six of Guweiz man to deal with while the rest were either unconscious or staying down out of fear of being knocked out, Guweiz himself seemed to be standing far from the group and Percila couldn't help wonder that if the reason they were in this situation was because of his poor leadership skills, either way, the deal was struck that if she could deal with all of them that they would join her as her crew hand and Percila was quite the stickler for keeping promises especially after breaking her own with Mashyuu hoping to never repeat the same mistake again.

Skills used:

Percila and her clone once again separated except this time Percila went to the left side and her clone went to the right, Percila ran straight forward charging into one of the men at full speed while her hands were formed in an X-formation as she tackled one of his men knocking them down, she spun on her pivot foot grabbing the guys shirt collar and threw him over towards her clone which thrust the sheathed blade back into the center of their back to stop them before spinning
the sheathed blade around in their hand back to the front and using it to block one of Guweiz man swords strike, the clone did a low kick throwing off their balance and then a forward kick to send them stumbling back just in time to dodge a sword strike coming from the left before the clone ducked and then immediately twist their hips around hitting them on the side of their ribs with a wild swing using the sheathed blade like a bat.

Percila jumped into the air just enough to dodge an incoming sword strike landing on the blade itself before using her right wing to smack the man away from his own blade as she dropped back to the ground, she took the man's blade into her hand gripping it tightly as she rolled forward and jumped back up onto her feet to thrust the blunt hilt into his forehead to knock him out only to drop the blade again going back to her hand formation. Her clone had been pinned on both the left in the right as the last two swordsmen swung down their blades aiming to slash it, the clone separated the blade from its sheath as she blocked the left swordsmen with the sheath and the right with the actual blade although since the clone had no real physical strength it was shaking under the pressure of having to deal with two men on its own and couldn't move an inch, Percila quickly noticed and ran in only to suddenly drop and slide to her feet knocking the men on the left off their feet throwing their balance off which gave her clone the chance to twist her body around hitting the men on the left with the sheath directly on their gut causing them to cough before sliding onto the floor where she twirled the sheath around and did the exact same thing to the men laying on the ground after they had fallen.

With all nineteen men either groaning from pain or unconscious Percila and her clone looked to the only one untouched which was a Guweiz who was looking around at his group of twenty strong men, Percila's clone resheathed the blade and gave it back to her before dematerializing and returning back to it's smoke form, "What a pity, If you had just given up I wouldn't have to had to flex my strength on you're man. What's more, you didn't even bother to attack me openly like many of them had which makes you a cowardness leader." Guweiz could only clench his teeth as despite his feelings she had been right as he had stood on the sidelines the entire time, "But do not fret, just like we mentioned earlier I will be taking command of you're crew which includes you as well. You might be somewhat of a coward but considering your man are not dead you must have some good leadership skills and I plan to make use of that by letting you lead them under my guidance although you will still take orders from my Navigator as well as I, do you understand?" Guweiz continued to clench his teeth as he nodded, his mind far more occupied on his own inability rather than what she was saying, "Great, unfortunately though to make you look like you did anything I'm going to have to inflict a wound on you."

Guweiz was about to speak up only for her to lightly thrust the back of her sheath into his forehead with just enough strength to leave a print mark and cause him to fall back. "That should do it," Percila then coughed and spoke louder, "For anyone still conscious I am your new captain! My first order is that anyone still able to move to get your asses up and haul your fellow comrades onto my ship! Disobedience simply means I will leave you on the vessel to die, you're choice!"

There was quite a bit of groaning as the men who were still conscious got up and started walking to their unconscious comrades but her beating had left a strong imprint on their mind, more so then that is that they had all witnessed her strength first hand and despite their shame they were not stupid enough to ignore the possibility that they would perhaps be safer boarding her ship as her crew then they would on sea in their current condition when their ship was due to fall apart any day leading them to simply follow her orders although begrudgingly.

Skills used:

Proan who had taken a back seat during the whole event finally put his cup of ale down as his new crew members started boarding the ship, "Man you guys took quite a beating, well my name is Proan and I'm the official navigator, sorry to pull this up on one of you but I need at least three of you to help me out." One of the new crew members spoke up, "With what..." Proan picked up his cup of ale and took a sip before answering, "For a party of course! Gaining new allies at sea is always something to celebrate!" Two of the crew members looked at each other before one of them spoke, "Is...that something...our new captain would allow...?"  They asked somewhat fearful, Proan gave a slight hum before turning over to Percila who was observing the last usable canons left on the ship, "HEY PERCILA WANT TO HAVE A WELCOMING PARTY!" Percila turned he head as she Proan and smiled as she gave a thumbs up nonchalant before turning back to look at the cannon, Proan then looked back at the men, "There's your answer, so now whos helping me?"

Although some hesitated three of the men quickly followed as helping plan a welcoming party was much more fun than lugging their unconscious allies onto their new home meanwhile, Percila who was with Guweiz was observing the cannon, "So what type of ammo does this thing have?" She asked while turning to Guweiz, "Junk shot, it fires a load of shrapnel from odd end metal scraps and is commonly used to destroy enemy sails." Percila smiled, "Great get it onto the ship." Guweiz quickly spoke, "I'm afraid that's not really possible, it takes several of our men just to do the task and with us being on the sea the possibility of it falling between the space of the two ships is a high possibility." Percila looked at him and then smiled, "Well the answer is really simple then." Percila took the large cannon into her hand and lifted it into the air over her shoulder as if it was just a bag of grains, Guweiz who had witnessed her strength earlier was now getting a sense that she hadn't used nearly as much strength as she was capable of outputting and it made him understand that had they been enemies his entire crew and himself would have been possibly slaughtered making him want to be that much more willing towards her wishes.

"Help the others get the rest of you onto my ship." Percila said breaking Guweiz out of his thoughts, "Yes Captain." He spoke and Percila simply held up her hand, "That may be my title but you and you're men can just call me Percila, you're my crew now which is like my family so no need to be formal when speaking to me as I will do the same." Guweiz was confused, earlier she had shown them she was by far stronger than them by dealing with his entire crew swiftly but now she was seeing her in a new light as she was also capable of great kindness, now that he thought about it not one of his men had actual real damage other than a few bruises while others  had been knocked out but they were already beginning to wake up and follow in the footsteps of the others, despite his reluctance to keep his previous status he was beginning to think that maybe things would work out in this situation for him and his crewmates.

Percila was sitting onboard the table top of their kitchen with a bottle of scotch in hand, each table and spot was full of the men she now had the honor of calling her crewmates as well as her family, most still looked uneasy by the turn of events in the last five hours but the beating she inflicted took out the spark of revolt they had in them to keep opposing her, Proan and his helpers has taken eight tables from their previous ship to make more sitting room in the kitchen as it would now also serve as the dining area with a bar serving as a means of a line to not cross unless you're the kitchen hand, Proan and three others had come into view carrying the leftover food that Guweiz had in combination of her own while another two were passing out bottles of liquor all around, still some were uneasy but they were beginning to talk to each other.

Percila rose the bottle of scotch while coughing to gain everyone's attention, "So just in case anyone doesn't know me, my name is Percila Du'var and from this day forth I'll be your captain. I know we had a rough start but I'm hoping we can put that all behind us and we can become a real close family of sorts as from now on things will be quite dangerous and we need each other's support." Guweiz raised his  hand as if he was a student and she was the teacher and she obliged by pointing to him, "Earlier...you mentioned that we would be joining in order to aid a higher goal, can you please elaborate on that, if we're going to trust you I think we should at least know what we're getting into.." Percila looked around and saw that Guweiz question piqued their interest as they nodded in response to know, "Very well, let me introduce myself once more. My name is Percila Du'var and I am the captain of this ship, I also happen to be one of the many captains of the Revolutionary army." Guweiz immediately stood on his feet while talk started to buzz around more intensely, "YOU MEAN "THE REVOLUTIONARY ARMY!" Percila gave a lofty smile, "The very same, although only a few know of my existence as up until now as I mostly worked in the shadows and alone, that is until I meant Proan and now the rest of you."

Guweiz took a raspy breath and slide back into his chair processing the information, "So...our goals are too...to aid in the fight against the World Government?" Percila gave a shaky hand, "That and among other things, mostly we help the majority of people oppressed by the World Government but yes, our work is majorly against the World Government." Guweiz couldn't believe it, up until now he thought she was just some absurdly strong rookie pirate but in light of this new evidence it was starting to make sense as to why she was so strong but more importantly it meant that if they were her crew they were now considerably more wanted then they were before.

Although Percila had meant to keep it light and fun the mood had drastically shifted with her announcement, she immediately slammed down the bottle of scotch on the table causing the murmuring to cease as they looked at her, "Hey stop all that you guys, yes by joining me you will surely be wanted in the future, but as long as you're with me I will do my best as your captain to protect every last one of you as if you were my own flesh and blood. Cast you're weary worries aside as tonight we drink in celebration of our union!" Percila  jumped off her seat immediately walking towards Guweiz who looked overloaded by the information, she popped the bottle of scotch open and tilted his head up forcing him to drink from the bottle where at first he was flailing his arms around only to take it in his hand and start drinking before separating it from his lips after a few second letting out a loud burp.

His loud burp eased the tension in the room as the others started to drink as well loosening up the tension further until everyone started to eat and chat among themselves as they began to slip into the party mood,  a few of his allies even started to sing a song causing the others including Percila and Proan to clap along and sing along, at this moment everything was perfect. Percila, however, was soon meant with a nudge at her shoulder, she looked back to see a drunken Guweiz wrap his left arm around her as he was hiccuping, "S..So captain Percila!" Guweiz hiccuped it again, "Where is this crazy ship heading..." Percila took a sip of wine before answering, "We're trying to get to Lulusia, but right now were lost."

Guweiz eyes widened as he hiccuped it again, "Bloody hell, you don't say!? W--w-well me and my crew was heading there ourselves but we got lost too, rumors have it though that Lulusia is more" Guweiz hiccup again while sliding further down, "It's further south.." Guweiz finishes before falling onto the floor falling asleep in his drunken state.

"HEY PROAN!" Percila called out completely twisted herself, causing Proan who was playing a card game with a few others to turn to look at her, "St-St-Start turning the ship South." She stuttered before resting her head upon the table, Proan simply got up and started heading to the deck to follow her orders while just like Guweiz she gave out to sleep and passed out.
