| - "*sigh* Boooreddddddddaaaaa!" Apollo: Booored! Damn it, nothing has happened around here in like fifty years. Apollo: Why the hell did i even Join the Marines Again..... Oh yeah because the Old man wanted At least one of his boys to be a marine *Sigh* Man i Wish i had something to do. Apollo: Well Seeing as of how bordom could cause me to do something i might regreat besides i have no clue what else there is on this planet and Who knows I'll probably find something else to do for the next one hundred years. Apollo found a merchant's ship that looked undermanned. Walking up to what looked to be the quartermaster by the way he was giving out commands and requests, Apollo tapped the man on the shoulder Quartermaster: Yes lad, what can I do for you? Apollo held back a smirk at the 'lad' remark Seeing as how he did not know who he is because of the cloak' Apollo: Well you guys looked kind of swamped and I'm bored." Quartermaster: "Thanks lad, but we haven't much to pay you with if you could help us." Apollo: "Well, if I could get passage on your ship that would be great. I'd help any way I could the entire voyage." Quartermaster: Do you happen to know where we're heading lad?" Apollo: "Nope." Quartermaster: We plan on leaving the North Blur altogether. You'll be in unfamiliar lands boy." Apollo: Even better I'm definitely going now, It's getting very boring around here for a guy like me, Who knows? Maybe I'll find something to do out there." He closed his eyes and smiled faintly, Apollo Thought: 'Yeah… this place hasn't needed me in a while. I think it's time for me to disappear.' Apollo: So where are you going anyway since you aren't kicking me off?" Quartermaster: And who said you're getting on lad? Life on a ship is hard work, if you're going to be on this ship you're going to have to work for your keep." He poked Apollo in the chest, "What can you contribute to our crew?" Apollo: "Well we'll see. You can either accept the extra help from someone that would work for simple passage on an understaffed ship, or you can not, and maybe end up making things harder on yourself." Captain: Well now, you're a strapping young lad!" Captain: "Is this boy trying to gain passage on our ship?" Quartermaster: "Yes sir. It seems he was pretty much the only person that we wound up commissioning to return with us to the East Blue." Captain: "You must really want to leave this place if your willing to work kid. Apollo: "Well you could say that. So what do you say? Am I in? Can I go with you guys or what?" Captain: I like your pluck kid! You're in, but you're going to have to pull your weight around here. Now that that's settled, Quartermaster Tim, let's be off!" Gibbs: Captain, we're understaffed. Many of the men we came here with have disembarked in order to try and live here. No one is attempting to come aboard with us except for this boy and that means we can't take to the seas." Apollo blinked: "So you're saying that the only thing keeping you all here is the fact that you just don't have enough guys to run the whole ship?" Gibbs and the captain blinked, "Aye." Akuma no Mi (Devil Fruit)! Was the collective cry that came up from every man on the ship who had witnessed the feat of self-replication. Apollo: Sorry but im not a Fruit User. Captain: "Such a power! The only thing like it is the power of an Akuma no Mi! Which one did you take boy?" Gibbs: "Oh well, that isn't important right now. What is important is that we have enough staff to head out of here." The captain stopped trying to get Aplool to tell him which fruit he ate and turned his attention to the rest of the crew, Captain: "Alright gentlemen, prepare for departure!" He turned to Apollo, "What is your name my boy?" Apollo grinned and pointed his thumb at himself and thought for a bit on wether or not he should tell them his name he shrugged seeing as it did not matter anymore. Apollo: Me? I'm Apollo Blade, at your service!" It had been two days since he decided to go Exploring and leavinf his post did Apollo find him self Again Bored ans decided to just laze around However one day when he found himself actually paying attention to his job of keeping lookout he saw something. Apollo: Hey captain! What's with that ship out there with the crap on its sails?" Apollo pointed out at a ship that was coming up on them rather quickly. Apollo: Yo captain. Let me go over and handle them, I'm starting to get bored anyway." Captain: Of course! You're a user of the fruit, you're basically a one-man army! Yes, go and take care of them and you'll have my eternal gratitude!" Apollo: "I'm on it." Captain: "Wait! Those that eat the Akuma no Mi can't swim! You'll drown Apollo!" Apollo: "It's not that easy to get rid of me you know." Apollo jumped over the edge amid the gasps of the others as the crowded around to potentially jump in and save him. They got quite a shock however when they saw Apollo standing on the surface of the water while he was accually just kicking his foot Extremely fast on the water surface, running at a speed none of them could match towards the pirate ship. Turning and waving over his shoulder, he grinned, Apollo: I'll be back in a flash okay?" Pirate #1: That idiot Krieg… Taking us all into the Grand Line like that." Pirate #2: "Well now that he and all of those other idiots are toast we can do what we want now." A pirate ran up to him, "Captain, we'll be on them within five minutes at this rate." He smirked and rubbed his hands together, Pirate Captain: "Good. Tell the men to get ready to board. We'll be getting quite a haul tonight." Apollo: "Yeah you guys need it too, your rations are total shit. Where's the Candy?" Apollo: "Yuck, this is terrible. How could you feed this to people? I would eat my own leg before I eat that crap again." Captain: "Who the Hell are you?" Apollo: "I am the man that makes the men of the World quiver in fear and their women in lust. I am the immortal man, the eternal Ladies Charmer, and your personal Doom, Apollo Blade!" Laughing on the looks on the Pirate's Face Apollo looked at them. Apollo: Hey, you guys aren't planning on attacking that ship over there are you? Because then we'd have a little problem if you were." By now NarutApollo's presence had been registered by the remaining pirates on the boat who had begun to crowd around him with their weapons drawn. The captain scoffed and gestured to his men, Captain: "Who do you think you are punk? We're from Don Krieg's pirate armada! We'll tear you apart." Cheers went up from the pirates as Apollo stood with a dull look on his face. Apollo cupped his hands to his eyes and looked around, Apollo: "Now I'm not the smartest guy in the world and I'm pretty new at all of this nautical stuff, but isn't armada a term that basically means a Shitload of ships? And here I only see one, yeah this is a real armada alright." Apollo: "And what do you mean who do I think I am? I just fuckingreaking told you shithead! Do you have the short-term memory of a goldfish now too?" The captain growled, Captain: "Damn it we're wasting time with this guy. Kill him already so we can go get our loot!" The pirates rushed Apollo with sabers and bare hands getting a sigh from Apollo. Twenty men ended up getting knocked senseless where they stood, or being thrown overboard in no time flat at the hands of some random Guy that came out of nowhere. Apollo sighed as only the captain was left. Apollo: "That's it? That's the best you idiots have got? I shouldn't even have woken up for that, that was pathetic. If this is the best the world has to offer then I'm not impressed." Apollo: "I should have stayed home for this…" The captain of the merchant ship had a gob-smacked look on his face when Naruto came running back onto his ship ten minutes after he left saying he would handle the pirates, Captain: "Boy have you ever thought of joining the Marines?" Apollo: "From the sound of that it seems like some kind of government military right?" Upon seeing the captain nod he frowned, "No thanks, been there done that. I don't fight for anyone other than myself and the people I care for. I'm not becoming someone else's tool." He thumbed over his shoulder at the pirate ship, "What should I do with them? I didn't kill them, and they don't have a thing worth taking." Quartermaster: "Well you don't look like you have any money at all. If I were you I would see if I could take them to Ash Town and see if I could get a Marine patrol to take them, maybe you could get a reward." Apollo scratched his heaand pulled his hodded cloak over his face more. Apollo: "Why not? Alright, then that's what I'll do." Apollo had them mark it on a map they provided him from the captain's quarters, Apollo: "Thanks for having me you guys, it was very cool of you to take me on your ship." Captain: "It was no problem Apollo! You saved us from a fight with pirates after all. I hope we'll see you again soon out there somewhere!" Apollo: "Yeah you guys too. Stay safe out there and you'll be hearing something about me soon enough, I'm certain of it."
