After a month of fighting, waiting and looking for the perfect crew mates, Mashyuu has assembled a small group that he trusted. Harley, a brawling doctor who had a heart of gold that was hidden behind a body of iron. Yuurei, a thief and swordsman who was willing to pass a test in order to gain a pair of friends and while little was known about him, Mashyuu trusted him enough to let the man have his back in a do or die situation. And Dai, a Fishman navigator who had a back ground similar to Mashyuu's, making the pair kindred spirits in most aspects.
While Mashyuu had been dealing with Gajeel and the situation with some slavers, Harley had gone out of her way to write a letter to the other two members of the crew and have them delivered to the pair.
Phantom Raiders- In two days time we set sail for Skypiea. The trip will be dangerous, long and nothing is promised. I would like to take this time to thank you for trusting me to be your Captain and tell you how excited I am to have a crew that I can trust. Once we arrive, I have no idea what the world above will hold in store for us but by standing together we can overcome any challenge. Dai, Harley and I will be on the ship in one day to finalize prepping the ships quarters since supplies are already set. Yuurei, please stay out of trouble in the mean time. We will head out at sunrise for the Knock Up Stream and go from there.
With the message sent out, all everyone had to really do was wait, and while they waited, Mashyuu and Harley finished setting up the good Doctor's office so that things wouldn't slide around during harsh hitting winds and waters and Mashyuu private quarters near the steps leading down to the second deck. The next morning Mashyuu, dressed in his usual attire of a black suit jacket, black and red pants, black dress shoes, and a white button down shirt along with his red sunglasses, and Harley, dressed in her white stockings and shirt, and red dress, stood in front of the Charon's gang plank, bright and early, waiting for the others to arrive.
