Linnea had spent the past few days investigating that little map... It seemed like the place depicted wasn't actually on Karate Island, but pretty close... It not only pointed to an old temple for ages long past, but also pointed out paths and tips on how to navigate it. All in all it had been an incredible find, easily more relevant than the dead tiger's pelt or all the trinkets she also found with the adventurer's corpse. True, all of those put together had fetched a price more than enough to cover the expense of the adventure, which was comparatively small. If she took into account the potential treasures she might find at this temple, it would be even more so... But that would still be a long way to go before she'd get to that part. For now she had to study the map, which meant she wouldn't be moving too far in the next few days.

She still needed her occasional adventuring and a daily dose of new sights to stave off boredom and stagnation, that was the kind of girl Lin was anyway. But what could she still do in this village without straying too far, what had she not done yet? The obvious thing struck out, now that she thought about it... This Island was called Karate Island, and even pirates often got the better of the villagers, there were plenty of martial artists around. Of course, few of them had guns like the pirates did, making facing them head on a hazardous challenge. This was probably why Lin completely forgot about the Island's Martial Artist community for so long, but not anymore. Today, she headed for the dojo distric, interested in seeing if any of the many styles being taught there would have anything to offer her.

The first palce she visited was of course the most obvious: A Dojo was challenging passerby's to a bout with one of their strongest students to show off their martial arts, a kind of publicity stunt that easily suited her linking. Accepting the challenge, Linnea was put up against the strongest female fighter there, who had a rather similar height and build to hers, making for a seemingly even challenge. But as the woman threw the first punch, Linnea just used her Kenbunshoku to telegraph it, and retaliate with an uppercut to her jaw. And with another of these counter attacks, she had laid her opponent down with two strikes, even despite her slightly lower skill in martial arts...
