People stared as a rather small girl bounced from shop window to shop window, squealing with excitement. 
"Waa~!!!  It's so shiny and pretty and shiny!!"  Then, the clock tower located in the center of the island rang twice with clear, ringing tones.
"Omigod!  I'm late!"  Wailing, Tsubaki charged through the street, dangerously and narrowly avoiding innocent passerbys.  As the inn located at the docks came into view, she crashed into a tall, dark, and handsome man. 
"Kyaa!  I'm so sorry Dimitri~!"  The brunette profusely, and loudly, apologized to the bewildered man she was now on top off.

Chuckling, pushed the younger girl off of him "It's fine, Miss Tsubaki." The small girl was still crying as Dimitri rose and face his captain. Bowing slightly he answered her, "Of course, Miss Misty." Then with a sigh he walked to find a buy.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dimitri found himself under the rays of the setting sun, walking alongside two men towards the docks once more. "So how much is this boat again?" the elder of the two inquired.
Dimitri smiled kindly, "Five hundred beli, sir." answering for the fifth time. Dimitri had found in the street talking to who he assumed was his son about how he wished to have a means to fish somewhere other than the docks. He had quickly walked up to him and offered his crewmates small dinghy.
Upon arrriving at the small boat, Dimitri swepted his hand in the air and presented the potential fishing vessel. They both inspected it for a little bit, checking to see if it would hold the rods, line, and fish. After an hour of answering questions, Dimitri held in his hands the men's money for the ship. He then turned to leave the two men with their latest buy, heading towards a fine looking ship that seemed big enough to accomadate the crew and some supplies. He walked up to the nearest man, "Sir."
"What?" the gruff dock-worker replied.
"Do you know who owns this ship?"
The man looked at the ship that Dimitri was pointing at, "Yah, that's the old man's rig." he turned and pointed to a man standing in front of a small shop. "Thank you." Dimitri said tilting his head slightly.
Dimitri approached the man as he just as he was moving away from the door. "You are the owner of that ship, correct?" Dimitri asked politely, gesturing once more towards the docked vessel. The man nodded his head, "Do ya wan' it?" he mumbled. When Dimitri nodded in response, the bigger man laughed. "A'ight," he said still laughing. However, before Dimitri could ask what his price was the "old man" raised his hand to stop him. "But," he began, "o'ly if ya can beat me ina fight!" The larger man threw a punch towards Dimitri who quickly jumped back to avoid impact. The "old man" laughed again, "THE SHIP IS YOURS IF YA CAN BEAT ME IN A FIGHT!!" he repeated loudly as a crowd quickly circled them both. Dimitri smiled at the proclaimation. "Well that certainly makes things easier for me." he replied as he readied himself.
The burly man charged him and Dimitri side-stepped him. The man managed to stop himself before plunging down into the water under the docks, then he turned and threw something shiny at his opponent. Dimitri caught it deftly and then tossed it into the cement that made up the dock area. Without anything new to do, the man opted to charge once more. Dimitri shook his head at the repetition. Rather than side step the foolish fighter, Dimitri raised his knee. His opponent slammed into it and then slumped down onto the ground next to his knife. The crowd dispersed, muttering about how the fight wasn't worth seeing.
Dimitri agreed as he walked towards his newly won transport.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
General chatter filled Dimitri's ears as he walked into the nearest tavern in search of his nakama. He spied them sitting at the bar talking and drinking the night away. Grinning brightly at his succes, he made his way toward the bar.

"And purple, pink penguins dance upon the curry covered sands of..."  Tsubaki drunkenly sang a nonsensical tune while drinking her fourth shot. 
"Miss Tsubaki, I believe you've had enough to drink."  Dimitri said bemused as he entered the raucous tavern.  Tsubaki drank her fifth shot of gin and said,
"Oi!  It's Dimitri!  How goes the ship hunt-"  True enough, after her fifth shot, the smallish teen proceeded to pass out on the floor.

The sun struck Dimitri's peaceful countenance and slowly the man rose from his bed. He quietly dressed himself in the room as sunlight continue to spill in through the window, the warmth from the sun filling his soul. Dimitri felt creative now as the sun rose higher into the sky. He deftly walked out of the room, down the stairs, and into the parlor of the hotel they were staying at. The other night they had agreed to treat themselves to one of the nicer hotels in the town. The parlor was filled with well dressed men and women as they greeted each other in the morning light.
In the corner of the room, Dimitri spotted a piano that sat neglected by everyone in the room. He walked up to it and tested it several keys, it was well tuned. Smiling softly, Dimitri sat down and began to play a soft melody. The notes spread throughout the room replacing the voices of the people as they turned to see where the music was originating. Dimitri's smile widened slightly as the crowd began to smile as his fingers moved from piano key to piano key.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dimitri was playing peacefully in the morning light as the men and women moved around more now, resuming their talks and gossips.
"I heard a captain of the marines will be visiting the town."
"Really? Is he going to investigate the wrecked ship by the shoreline?"
"I think so. He's suppose to arrive tomorrow morning."
Dimitri sighed lightly, seems as if we had better leave soon. he thought. He continued to play, taking care not to react to the rumors that were being spread about the captain of the marines.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An hour past. Two. The crew had woken by now and all had walked out into the town. All except Tsubaki who had a hangover and instead opted to drown in her aches in the chair behind him. After a few moments of groaning from Tsubaki, Dimitri got up from the piano chair and wordlessly picked the small girl up.
"what's going on...?" she asked softly.
Dimitri smiled kindly and walked up the stairs to her room where he promptly put her in bed. Then he walked out of the room as the sickened girl fell asleep. Dimitri closed the door silently and walked back down the stairs. perhaps I shall explore the wrecks of the ship before the good captain arrives. he thought absantly. Deep in thought, Dimitri didn't hear the men under him shouting questions into the crowd.
As soon as Dimitri's feet touched the bottom floor something was thrown at him. Catching the object's image in the corner of his eye, he quickly bent his knees to avoid it. A loud crash reached his ears as the vase slammed against the wall and soon after pieces of the pottery was raining down on his head.
"SO THERE YOU ARE!!" the offending pitcher roared. Dimitri didn't answer, rather stood up and slowly brushed the debris off of him and out of his hair. He looked up and his eyesbrows rose in slight surprise as his eyes told him the "old man" from the docks had returned. And with some friends no less. he thought, noting the group of five standing with the man. "Can I help you gentlemen?" he asked softly.
"Ya, you can give Petey here 'is ship bac'." replied a mousy looking man on Petey's right. Dimitri scoffed, smiling while Petey struck the offending friend, "DON'T CALL ME THAT, IDIOT!" he cried. The smaller man keeled over, having been struck too hard by his leader. Dimitri lost his smile and turned his peircing eyes on Petey and began to speak. "Now that was not very nice." he admonished. Petey glared back at the man by the stairs. He looked at like he was going to answer, but then stopped and thought about it. After a few tense moments he opened his mouth once more, "Just 'ive me my ship." he growled, "or we'll 'ave to 'urt ya."
Dimitri didn't reply, he simply stood there awaiting the impending attack. With each passing moment Petey grew angier and angier until finally he cried out, tossing another dagger aimed at Dimitri's head. Once more Dimitri caught it. "Have we not established that will not work against me?" he asked as he laid the silver blade down on the end of the railing next to him. "GET 'IM!!" Petey cried rushing forward with a new found sword in his hands. However, after a few paces the bull stopped and turned to see why his men hadn't followed his lead. A clanking sound echoed throughout the parlor as his sword fell to the ground. Petey stepped back as he watched his men dangle in the air from brown roots that had emerged from the nearby ploted plants. As some screams were given voice, Dimtri took out a seed from his shirt pocket and let it sit in his hand; it slowly cracked, revealing a small vine that continued to grow out. "It is my ship, sir. Goodbye." without another word Dimitri willed the growing plant in his hands to whip Petey out the door. The burly man flew into and then through the door of the hotel, landing with a soft thud onto the streets outside. After that Dimitri sent the other five men out as well, he smiled lightly as they all landed on each other in a pile outside the hotel. As everyone else around stared at the withering vines, Dimitri left the building and walked towards the shore where the old ship has washed up.

Groggy-headed, Tsubaki groaned as she awoke with a bruising hangover.  She stumbled out of the warm, comfortable bed.
'I better find something to get rid of this headache or there's going to be one grumpy, disorientated navigator," she thought to herself.  Tsubaki walked out the door in a not-so-straight line, and when she tried to find the first step of the stairs down, she slipped and tumbled down the aforementioned stairs.  Along the way of her painfully exciting journey, Tsubaki bowled over the red-haired cook who gave a shout of protest.

The man was slowly raising, while Misty gathered a large amount of water for another attack. At the wave a her hands, the water streaked towards the stranger ready to crush him with pressure. Misty's opponent stood there and slowly raised his long-ranged weapon which crackled in the moist air. Realizing too late that an electric shock will pass through the water and to her, Misty watched in horror as the man's electrically charged arrow rushed towards her through the water, bringing death with it.
Suddenly, a force yanked her up into the air and threw her into the sand, far beyond the reach of the electrical current. Her opponent felt the full force of the water and the electrical shock from his own attack. He was blown back and landed with a soft thud as the lightening continued to crackle around his still body.
Misty looked down at her leg and saw a small withering vine had wrapped itself around her ankle and saved her. Just then Dimitri came skidding up next to her, "Are you alright, miss Misty?" he asked gently, kneeling next to her. However, Misty didn't answer him. Instead she sat wide-eyed with fear as her opponent stood up once more, securing his bow to his back.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dimitri stood up in shock as the stranger rose to his feet, not showing any sign of injury despite being struck by lightening not once, but twice. Calming himself, Dimtri asked his shaking captain who the man was. "L-L-Lazarus..." she stammered. Dimitri looked down at her, he had never seen her like this before, he removed his jacket and gently placed it on Misty's shoulder's. Returning his gaze towards Lazarous and discovered him standing brushing the wet sand off of him as best he could, then he casualy walked towards them. Dimitri stood up and walked to meet this man who's power planted fear within his captian. Within seconds they were standing in each other's paths, the space between them a mere 10 paces. "Move." he ordered. Dimtri didn't answer nor did he move. The man's dark eyes narrowed to slits. "Move." he repeated. Still Dimitri held his ground. Lazarus frowned at the other man's defiance.
Quick as lightening, a golden object was thrown towards Dimitri.
"It would seem people love tossing their toys at me." Dimitri said as he could a projectile by the blade once more. The thrower raised his eyebrows in slight surprise. "That's the second time someone has thrown a knife at me this morning." Dimitri continued. He flicked his wrist to side and the golden blade flew into the water where it was quickly engulfed by the ravenous waves.
Lazarus moved forward. As he did, Dimitri noted the two golden blades from under his trenchcoat. The knives where identical to the one he had just thrown. They were double-bladed, with the golden blades that gleamed in the morning sun, lusting after blood. Dimitri's blood. When he was a few inchs from Dimitri, Lazarus suddenly lashed out like a snake stricking at its prey. Shifting his weight towards the beach, Dimitri barely dodged the incoming attack. Without waiting for Lazarus's next move, Dimitri spun around and his leg lashed out, searching for his opponent's liver but it never struck. Lazarus had jumped back and his knives where now cutting the air making their way towards Dimitri who dropped to his knees. The projectiles sailed past the man's head and joined their brethren landing in the water's embrace.
Sand moved next to Lazarus as two seeds were embedded into the dirt, courtesy of Dimitri. Two huge vines sprang out of the ground and attacked the man standing under them. Lazarus pulled another pair of knives and began defending himself against the vines. With lightening speed, he cut them to ribbons moving his body to avoid being struck in return. But as soon as he cut them down, they would grow back again, attacking him anew. Dimitri tossed four more seeds into the sand, then he raced forward to assist his creations, throwing kicks and punches he had learned during his time with the marines. The battle quickly became a strange dance with three main participants. Dimitri weaved his body in sequence with his vines, dodging Lazarus's attacks while returning a few of his own. Lazarus hacking away at Dimitri's allies, all the while trying to avoid the whips that were the vines and Dimitri's quick and powerful punches and kicks. Within a few moments, Lazarus was overwhelmed. Dimitri's punch caught him in face and then several of the vines whipped across his face while the other last one suddenly wrapped itself around the stunned Lazarus's body. Hoisting the man into the air, the weapons' were freed of their master's grasp and fell to the sand. Dimitri bent down to pick them up when the sound of something ripping rippled through his ears. He rolled off to the side just as Lazarus came slamming down on to the beach. "Not a single bruish or cut..." Dimitri wisphered.

Dimitri hacked away at his icy prison with his rapier as his opponent turned his back on him and moved towards his captain. Misty took a step back so her feet was in the water that licked at the sandy beach. As Lazarus moved forward, Misty moved her arms in a pattern, raising the many waves together to form a one large one. At her behest, the wave surged forward crashing into the ever calm man as he stopped walking. Dimitri managed to get the last of the ice off his foot as the water swallowed Lazarus whole. To his surprise, the man was still standing in the same spot unmoved. Unharmed except for his wound on the chest though it didn't seem to pain him at all. His face straight as it has ever been, Lazarus calmly pulled his bow from his back and knocked an arrow. Knowing the arrow would be electrified, Dimitri called upon the powers of his devil fruit, pulling leaves off the tree nearby he sent them flying just as Lazarus let his arrow loose. The leaves, hardened by Dimitri's will, struck the projectile in mid-air after plowing through its owner's body. Misty and Dimitri watched their foe carefully as he staggered forward from the power of the leaves bursting into and out of his earthly vessel. Dimitri expected him to faulter. He expected him to die. However, he did neither. Instead he turned his unwavering gaze back towards Dimitri. Before he could attack with another arrow however, Misty wrapped more water around him only this time, rather than wrapping it around his head, she covered his entire body so that he floated in the middle of a giant watery prison. Dimitri commanded more leaves to rush forward as Lazarus calmly floated in liquid. On their commander's order, the leaves through the man's arms and legs, though they did not severe them. They also left numerous gashes and cuts all over their target's body causing the peaceful blue waters to turn into an ominous crimson liquid.
After the last leaf pierced the wall of the orb, Misty released the imprisoned man. The crewmates stood there panting from exhaustion as Lazarus's beaten body fell to the sand with a thud. i...impossible! Dimitri thought astounded. There. Before his eyes, Lazarus rose. Slowly and calmly. Showing no signs of pain. Showin no signs of fatigue. His injuries testifing to the pain he should be feeling by oozing out more and more blood with each movement.
Misty's cry shook Dimitri out of his stupor. He shifted his gaze to her to find her using the water under her command as a lasso. Roping the seemingly unstopable foe she tossed him into the blue sea where the merciless tides dragged him underwater. Then Misty ran towards Dimtri, "He's not beat, comon." she explained, grasping his wrist she ran heading towards the town. Then the waters parted as the bow of their old ship rose from the depths of the sea and under it, Lazarus. He dropped his potential boulder and unsheathed his special knife once more, with a flick of the wrist the ice blade showed its face again. He tossed the knife into the ground infront of the nakama and before they could react the lower half of their body was encased in solid ice. Satisfied, Lazarus hefted the heavy wood once more onto his shoulders. Slowly he stepped forward, poised to end the fight with a single crushing blow. As a realization dawned on him, Dimtri released himself from his superior's grasp and looked around. There a little ways away where the six original vines he had planted early on in the fight. Demitri's hand waved at them and they began to dance coming to life once more. With another gesture, the vines whiped across the sands of the beach but fell short of wrapping themselves around it. It was too short and Dimitri no longer had the energy to grow them. Staying calm, Dimitri instead opted to cut it and commanded the whips to attack the bow. Lazarus seemed not to notice as he took another step forward. Again and again the vines choped at the thing, taking out chuncks of the bow. Still Lazarus persisted in his march, even as the wood parts began to rain down on his head, causing water to splash up in great heights all around him. Misty freed them both with her powers and as Lazarus advanced with his head hung down, they both began to retreat slowly. Still the vines whiped away until finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the bow collapsed in two. The sand and water mixed together in mid air as the top part of the bow fell down on its carrier. When the air cleared, the captain and the first mate could see that their opponent had finally been beaten...

ooc: first- im glad u decided to come back/lied about leaving/changed your mind/ w.e

fourth- yes we use beli just like in the op world
fifth- to use the italics you just put [i] w/e you want in italics and after the phrase do exactly as you've done before but put a / before the i

ic: Dimitri broke off from Misty to walk around town, agreeing to meet her and the rest of the crew at the inn later that night. He walked casually and slowly down the dusty streets under the late morning sun, trying to relax after the intense battle.
Shortly into his walk he heard screaming. Worried about his nakama, Dimitri began to run towards the source of the noise. After a little while he ran across a resturant with a disgruntled and scared looking waiter standing just outside his door staring after a large man. Dimitri sighed when he recognized the large figure to be his crewmate, Marlin.
"Excuse me," he greeted, "What has happened here?"
The waiter turned towards his addresser wide-eyed and pointing after Dimitri's nakama, "Did you see that? That guy at all my food and won't pay for it! I have a wife and three kids! What am I suppose to do now? They'll starve if I don't get paid!" the troubled man broke down into tears. Dimitri let out another sigh and looked inside the store. On the table were what seemed like a several hundred bowls and plates, all dirty with grease and crumbs left from the food it once held.
Dimitri quietly slipped past the weeping man and examined a nearby menu then quickly added up the cost of what the meal should have been. After he finished, Dimitri took out his wallet and pulled the necessary money out. Then he walked back to the man and placed it in his wet hand. As the man stood stammering, staring at the money Dimitri moved away from the building wordlessly in search of Marlin.

Dazed, Tsubaki just sat obediently as Annie lectured her on the evils of alcohol, whilst nodding her head vigorously.  Unfortunately, the rapid shaking caused Tsubaki's hangover to be worse and she almost fell over.  She caught herself sloppily, but wound up slipping anyways.  With a weakish voice and wide innocent eyes, she asked,
"Annie, do you know of anything that would take away the ouchie from my brain?  And the purple and pink penguins dancing around my head?"

"But medicines are icky~!"  Tsubaki whined piteously.  However, it was a battle between hangover and icky medicine.  The medicine won.  Making a face, she dramatically swallowed the pills, and began to roll over from the ickiness.
"Wah~!  Why is the happy medicine yucky!" 
"But what about the penguins," Annie inquired.
"Ah yes, let's do the penguin dance!"

Annie and Tsubaki continued dancing like penguins would, or at least the pink and purple penguins in Tsubaki's head were, when Marlin approached. Annie proceeded to make the best penguin noises she could conjure up, which was somewhat of a loud quacking/sqwuaking noise that was a tad.. Annoying, if you were anyone but Annie and Tsubaki. She waddled around, hopping up and down every now and then. Suddenly, she got slightly carried away and bumped into Tsubaki who then bumped into Marlin. Dancing for a few more seconds, Annie realized she didn't have her dancing partner anymore. "Tsubaki?" She blinked, looking around.

Before spotting Tsubaki, she saw Marlin. "Oh, hi hi Marlin!" Grinning after greeting him, she remembered Tsubaki. Her jaw dropped. "MARLIN! B-but.. Tsubaki and I were dancing the penguin dance, and then suddenly poof and-- How'd you do that?!" She had somehow managed to believe that Tsubaki had turned into Marlin. She whimpered some, confused.

ooc: sorry, i was gone for the weekend, if anyone was wondering why i wasnt posting...

ic: Concerned about why Lazarus was after her, Misty decided to find out. She walked towards the sea and, once at the shoreline, she raised her hand and spoke a short sentence in an ancient language. A few seconds later, a dolphin rose to the surface and chirped (or whatever sound dolphins make ). Misty spoke to the solphin in the ancient language and the dolphin responded in its own language. After a couple of minutes, Misty nodded and the dolphin left. Worried about something, she ran to find the crew.
