"HAHAHA! You guys are such cowards!" Sakurai laughed as he sank a beer. "Scared of a girl that is taking off her pants! What are you? 14? I am telling you, she was testing us! A war of wills!" Sakurai ordered a new beer and leaned over the table, looking the two in their eyes "Girls like guys who have a spine, let me tell you that"" he slapped the two on their backs. "If you shy away, they will think that you are unable to be their equal, and thus, you're not gonna win them over!" Sakurai sank the new beer and got up, heading for the door. "So I am not gonna cancel this gig. Not for her, not for you, not for anyone! So join me if you want!" he slammed his fist into the frame of the door, almost splinering the frame. He smiled with excitement dancing in his eyes as the entire establishment turned their eyes his way.

"ALLRIGHT, YOU LUCKY CLIENTELLE OF THIS AWESOME ESTABLISHMENT! I AM GONNA PERFORM AT STAGE 8 AT THE LOCAL FESTIVAL... AND THE AFTER-CONCERT PARTY IS GONNA BE HELD RIGHT HERE! SO LETS GO WILD AND PARTY UNTIL WE DROP!" he strapped his guitar on "COME ON!" his hands started to crackle with electricity, which made the guitar roar as he slammed down over the strings "LISTEN TO MY SONG!" he started singing and playing an upbeat rock-song while walking towards stage 8.

Like some Piper of Hamlet, he had a tail of eager people following him as he got on the stage, and with a exaggerated head-bang, he tossed Afro to the drums. While the octopus started playing, he went over to another song, keeping up an incredible flow.

It's time... knocking up the pace!
Night's waiting... for the beat...!
Shake loose... music's in your face!
We're gonna... tear down... ALL THE LIMITS WE CAN SEE!

YOUR LIFE... IT IS TONIGHT!
LIVE WITHOUT RESERVATION!
JUST LIVE... WITHOUT FRIGHT!

Let them shake their heads, we'll dance all night!
Grinding their bitterness... who the hell cares?
I tell you, we will keep on... it's our right!
Shake off your reservations... and your fears!

THROW AWAY YOUR COMPASS AND MAP!
LET THE RYTHM SHOW YOU THE WAY!
THE GROOVE WILL BAIT THE MUSIC TRAP!
MAKE YOU DANCE- NIGHT AND DAY!

Sakurai kept singing, until he came to a solo. He then whispered to himself "Come on guys! We will be the greatest band in the world yet!"

Jinn and Mat had somehow managed to get the reluctant-to-leave Sakurai to a nearby bar. It was like fishing for a giant shark that wriggled as if its life depended on it. Finally they sat him down at the bar counter with a "phew". The bartender, a bit surprised by the commotion, attended to their needs quickly, bringing out a mug of beer for each. Sakurai grumbled something as Mat rubbed his now sore arm and Jinn sighed.
     What a pain... Jinn thought as he grabbed the icy cold refreshment.
     "You're lucky we saved you Sakurai! She was about to hand it to ya... but she sure is attractive." Mat commented and in another voice, he responded to himself as Din. "I can't believe she just took off her pants... so embarassing..."

It was then that Sakurai burst into a speech about how to really treat women, downing his beer and ordering a second.
     "Girls like guys who have a spine, let me tell you that. If you shy away, they will think that you are unable to be their equal, and thus, you're not gonna win them over!" He seemed rather confident in his words but Jinn just rolled his eyes. Mat seemed a tad interested though, nodding to his speal.
     "Yeah, whatever fish-man." the scarf-wearing nakama mumbled and Sakurai didn't hear him. The merman then proceeded to shout some things about continuing with the concert, after parties, and music. Pumping up the crowd, he grabbed his guitar and start yet another song which gathered most of the bar patrons into a group trailing him down the road. And suddenly-- it was quiet. Jinn relaxed a bit, enjoying the sudden change in atmosphere. He took another drink of his beer and looked over at Mat/Din. He was bouncing his head to the tune that Sakurai has left behind. Jinn shook his head with a laugh.
     He may be an eccentric lech... but he sure knows how to bring people together. He took another sip of his beer and without looking over at Mat/Din, spoke to him. "You can follow him if you want. We did our best, right?"
     "But what about you?" the unaware schizophrenic asked, deciding on what to do. Jinn leaned down, resting his elbows on the bar, fingers entwined, gaze straight ahead.
     "I'm going to... think about things I suppose." Mat/Din saw his eyes close and waited a moment. Jinn remained still as Din spoke up.
     "Alright, I guess we're going back to the others. Right, Din?"
     "We shouldn't leave Jinn here, should we? He's nakama." Din responded and looked at Jinn. "Hey, Jinn? I think you should..." and his words were interrupted by a small snore. Jinn was sleeping in that awkward position... somehow. Mat/Din waved a hand at him sideways, as if batting his oddness away; a can't-believe-this look on his face.
     "Oi, oi, oi..."

"good. he fell asleep.." Said kato with a sigh of relief.Yin had fell asleep about 20 minutes after drinking Kato´s potion. Kato just sat there, on a chair besides the bed that Yin was sleeping on, Thinking about his job and his responsibility..
"Joining this crew brings me a great responsibility.. I have to be able to take care of all my nakama. I cant leave single one of them injured. This man will be okay for now but ive got to brace myself for the future.." He thought
Kato took a pencil and a piece of paper and wrote a message to Yin:

(drawing of a lama)

After writing the letter and putting the potions on the table, kato packed his stuff and and started walking towards the stage 8.. He pulled the strings of his hood tighter just to make sure that no one would regocnize him a as a lama.

After an hour of drums and guitar, the audience started to wonder if there weren't gonna be any other people on stage. Two people hardly made a band. That is called a "duet". As Sakurai realized that none of the "bandmembers" were coming, he started to play an exceptionally heavy metal song,  with extremely fast and hard guitar-play, and furious drums. As half the audience got riled up, the other half left, since it was too loud. At the end, Sakurai directed the guitar to the sky, screaming as he focused almost all his energy into the instrument, which lit up the evening, and shot a lightningbolt into the sky, making motes of light dance down on the audience.

------

An older merman came walking into the bar after the spectacle had ended. The merman wore the leather jacket and the rest of Sakurai's attire, but he seemed to be in his nineties, with his life ebbing away as he walked (Imagine the principle in Sexy Commando). "...aaa...." he meekly got the attention of the bartender. "Waa... waa... waa..." he began "water`..." he finally finished. The bartender handed him a glass of water. Upon the consumption of the water, the merman slumped lifeless on the counter. The bartender gaped "AAH! HE DIED!" Sakurai(jiisan-mode) merely smiled sheepishly "Mm.. mm.. yes... dead... used... too much... now... my youth... is gone..." The comb-over squid grabbed a quill and wrote something completely illegible, then showed it to the bartender. "I CAN'T READ THAT!"

Kato came walking in, and noticed the octopus' efforts. He studied it for a second and nodded "Mhm. He is gonna be fine! Just needs to recharge." Kato explained. "WHOA!" The bartender mused "You... understanding that gibberish... that means..." Kato bit his teeth and waited for the accusation. "You're a doctor, aren't you!?"

Meijin looked around at the blood stained stage and wondered, "What really did happen here?  Was it some sort of animal sacrifice?"  He decided to shrug it off and hopped off the stage.  Turning back around, he said, "I'll see you ladies tomorrow.  I'm going to finish sleeping in a bed, instead of on the carnage of that stage.  Goodnight."

Arriving back at the inn, Trivalu used the bathroom to clean some of his wounds and to re-bandage them.  Having already slept a little beforehand, the Triviamaster couldn't get to sleep.  He laid on his back and stared at the ceiling.  There was a new adventure just over the horizon, he could smell it.  With a smile on his face, Meijin's heavy eyelids finally slid into place as he once again delved into a deep sleep.

Jinn awoke with a start, his elbow slipping off the counter forced him to come alive. He blinked a few times and looked around his current surroundings. Empty tables and tipped over mugs was all he could see.
     "Have a nice nap there, kid?" came a voice. Jinn turned his head to behind the counter where the large bartender was standing, cleaning out a mug with a dishrag... as most traditional bartenders do. Jinn scratched his head, feeling a little embarassed.
     "Yeah, something like that. Did you see where that normal looking guy with the blonde hair went?" Jinn asked, changing the topic. "About... yeigh high?" he continued, leveling his hand at exactly Mat/Din's height. Photographic memory paid off soemtimes, even if it was for something trivial.
     "Hmm." the bartender thought. "The weird one that was talking to himself?" Jinn nodded. "Well, I can't say where he went for sure. All I know is he mentioned turning in for the night to himself and took off." Jinn closed his eyes. He had no idea where any of his nakama were and how he would contact them again for tomorrow's meeting. He had already forgotten where that Trivia-guy had told him to go. He sighed and opened his eyes.
     "Thanks for the help. And the drinks. What do I owe ya...?" Jinn asked, standing and reaching into his jean pocket. A look of surprise shot over his face and the bartender knew he had no money to pay for his single glass of ale.
     "Nothing. It's on-the-house considerin' ya kept me company 'til closing time." he said with a wink and Jinn smiled.
     "Oi. Thanks gramps. I'll pay ya back when I make it big." With that Jinn stood and placed his hands in his jacket pockets, making his way for the door, the bartender chuckling.
     "I'll be waitin' kid!" he shouted after the blue-haired patron just as he got to the door. With a smirk, Jinn waved the bartender off and exited via the main door.

Jinn looked up into the darkening sky, the stars just becoming visable.
     "Hmpf. Night already? Looks like I missed that fish-man's concert." He began down the road that joined into one of the mainer streets. "...Wonder if I missed anymore of that girl's.... undergarments." A flash of what he had saw before entered his thoughts and Jinn started drooling a little bit. Not looking where he was going, the scarf-wearing tactician bumped into something. Or rather, someone. The bumped into was knocked to the ground; Jinn kept his balance.
     "Oi, sorry 'bout that. Wasn't..." Jinn began but stopped when he saw who it was. It was Ruby, the girl he first met on this island. "R-Ruby??" he made sure, quite surprised. The girl looked up and studied the bumper for a moment. When who it actually was finally hit her, a look of rage entered her eyes.
     "Jinn!?" she screamed. The tactician took a step back, a bit frightened from this feminine anger. "You would dare show yourself after promising me that you would wait for me to shop... and then DITCHING me!?"
     "No, wait! You've got it all wrong, see..." Jinn couldn't even make his point before Ruby's rage continued.
     "You've got some nerve, ya know that!? and with that Ruby raised a hand to slap him, but Jinn's keen observational skills caught this and allowed him to dodge effectively. Now, Ruby wasn't only named that for her red hair. She had the temper of the worst of the worst. And this dodge only angered her more. She tried for another attack, but Jinn dodged again. This repeated a few more times as Jinn tried to apologize and explain what happened. When Jinn thought it was no use, he finally made a run for it. Ruby, however, stayed on his tail, shouting at him the whole way.

Finally, Jinn had made enough twists and turns through random streets to escape her estroginal wrath. Panting quite a bit, and resting his hands on his knees, Eri's right end raised up and wiped the sweat from his forehead. As he caught his breath, Jinn noticed a small grassy area along the side of the road. It contained a bed of flowers on one end and a large tree almost in the center of the grass patch. For some reason, this looked rather appealing to Jinn and he made his way over to the tree and laid down at its base. Eri's two ends acted as a pillow, along with Jinn's hands that had been raised and placed behind his head. He found this spot to be rather comfortable and with a pleased exhale, he shut his eyes.
     Finally, a quiet and comfy place free of feminine wrath and temptation. I shall name it... Jinntopia. And with a light nod of his head, Jinn fell into yet another deep slumber.

Though she couldn't say she quite understood it, she just nodded and replied with an, "Ah..."  She sat at the corner of the bar, resting her elbows against the counter, chin in palm and just shook her head when the bartender offered to get her a drink.  It was one thing after another, wasn't it?  Sakurai Oyaji, that was something to laugh at, or giggle at even which she could not help but do at the sight and thought.  He looked old enough to be her grandfather.  "So," she started after her giggle fit finished, prodding a finger at the octopus.  "how do we fix it?  Let 'im sleep or dump him into the sea?"

And those in the bar, eyes wide and jaws hanging, seemed to stop breathing.  Even Kuro shared this same look to a lesser extent.  It was easy to tell which was worse: being violated by hands or eyes or being violated by something like a vacuum (the vacuum up at the very summit of her list).  After a rather long moment she finally stood and brushed the front of her shirt off, biting back on blind rage.  She could get annoyed to a point then after that there was no such thing as anger, just a temper problem that was getting a bit easier to control nowadays and she kept it hidden today.  As for tomorrow or the next time?  She wasn't sure.

"We have a rather big day tomorrow, don't we?" Kuro seemed to calm down, seemed being the keyword here.  "We're setting sail and I'm going to have the cook make fried calamari for dinner, sound good?  So hurry the hell up and get back to the inn."  Kato sensed the thick tension and left in a hurry, a sweat drop rolling down the back of his head.

"Natural pearls are worth a lot more than you'd think," she replied. "Oh, I could get five feet below the surface, you watch, I'll show you tomorrow."  But without waiting for a remark, she left in a huff, letting the door slam behind her.  You should've have let him do that, you should've hit him, you should've yelled, you should've-- it was in the past now so it no longer pattered, except she'd be a bit more prepared and alert around the half-fish pervert.

The walk left longer than usual, the night just a tad later than before, but that was such a comfort for when the thief was back in her room at the inn.  She had checked up on Kato only to get no answer, figuring he was already out cold, she shrugged and went to her own room.  Curled up under a blanket, facing the window, she slept.

With surplus energy, Sakurai retreated to his room, taking out a note-book and an ink-pen. "Hmm..." Sakurai started jotting down some notes and lyrics. As the morning horizon started to turn bluish instead of pitch dark, the song was half-way done. Sakurai hummed the tunes and softly sang:

"When you feel like the world is dead to you, come and give feel her round, soft two.
Life will be good again, oh Kuro-Cha~an

If you ask me 'what it's like dude', let me tell me that it's great, yet somewhat rude.
Life is good again, with Kuro-Cha~an

What is the secret of your bounciing? It makes the bards all come a-singing.
Life is good forever, sweet Kuro-Cha~an

Super electric dynamite body girl! Life is good with her in the world...!"

Sakurai stopped "CRAP! That doesn't rhyme." giving up, he laid back on the bed. "Huh, I guess I should show my appreciation some other way. Perhaps I should make a sonata, I guess merpeople society is more focused on physical stuff than humans anyway. Like that stupid shark preaches. Oo-ooh! We're SOOOO superior... Meh. ... zzzzzz"

Din woke up and lifted his head from the open book. He allready read it during the night.
"hay Mat wake up" he said to his sleepyer personality in dozy vice.
"Wha... why" he answered himself and put his head back on the book.
"Becasue we said we'll meet the triviamaster and the others in the morining" said Din lifting his head up and sitting straight.
"But what time is it?" said Mat as he leaned his head back on the book.
"By the place of the sun i'm guissing it's about ten past six" said Din straightening up agian.
"what are you crazy, thats too early, we staid up yesterday reading that Grand Line book and sorting info from it till like 1 or 2
in the morning" said Mat and lifted his head
"yeah but were allready up know arn't we, and can you really go back to sleep with all that advanture ahead of us?" asked Din
"Yeah your right!" said Mat standing up. We got tons of advanturing waiting for us! we can't go back to sleep!"
"yeah!" said Din "and if we go now we'll get to make the impration of getting the first" said Din as they were outside of there room. After about five secounds mat came back to the room and took his sword. "almost forgot you didn't I" he said as he wore his sword on his back and fixed the metal switch that holds it, and alows it to be drawed very quickly.

"by the way" said Din on their way to the stage "about the book... do you think it's reliable?"
"i don't really know" said Mat his with a serios face. "the part about entering just seems to wierd to be true"
"yeah, but there is some logic behind it" said Din.
"yeah well we'll know if its true when we get there" said Mat.
"I just wish we could find out sooner so we could study it if the book is worng" said Din
"Don't worry about it Shorty" said Mat his voice becoming cheerfull and happy "it's not exiting if its not misterios!"
"oh don;t start with that Mat it's to ear~"
"Oo we got to the stage allready" said Mat interupting Din in the middle of his sentence. "and were not the first ones to come!"
he said and pointed at meijin who was sitting on the stage "HAY GOOD MORNING!" souted Mat at meijin.
"HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN HERE!?"

Jinn's heavy slumber was disrupted by the rays of that bright thing in the sky. His eyelids opened slowly and, even through darkened glass, the sun still irritated his eyes.
     "Mmprf... damn sun..." he mumbled as he sat up a little. He looked around, a little confused to where he was. He sat there, with a blank look on his face as he tried to remember what happened last night. "Ah yes..." Something finally clicked. "Jinntopia." He smiled a little and scratched his head. "Now... wasn't there something I had to do today...?" he asked himself with eyelids half-shut.

He sat in silence with only the sound of the nearby sea heard.
     "Guess not." he said with a shrug and resumed his sleeping position under the tree in the out-of-place grass patch. Resting hands behind his head, Eri brought both ends up to his face where they then covered sensitive eyes to allow a more peaceful sleep.

Waking up early was never Sakurai's vup of tea. The taste of sock permeated his mouth, and his mood was exceedingly foul. With a moan and a grumble, he hauled himself out of bed around eight and got dressed. With Afro half-asleep on his head, he looked like a zombie-equivalent of himself as he stalked down the stairs of the inn. He found a seat as a barmaid came over to take his breakfast-order. "Good morning! What will you ha-" Sakurai grumbled "Scrambled eggs, orange juice and silence."

Sakurai ate and drank in complete silence, omly when the barmaid dropped a fork on the ground, and bent over in his direction did he seem to actually wake up. As she came to get his dish and glass, he smiled "Excellent fare, my regards to your chef and your service, miss." he flattered thickly. Being courteus to her customers, she bowed in gratitude and picked up after him. Sakurai grabbed an apple on his way out, pondering, mumbling about C's and D's. Settling on a "Good C" he headed towards the stage.
