A few months before the arrival of the Gold Leopard Pirates, Ryuuka sat down on a golden beach on the opposite side of Ohara from the town, he had planned to build a ship to sell for some quick cash during his stay on Ohara. The novice Shipwright watched the sun slowly sink as he pulled out his tools and placed them next to the materials to build with. Ryuuka had planned to finish the small ship in a week or two and sell it before the festival, he had cut down a few of the trees surrounding the beach and had planted seeds where the once stood.
Ryuuka cuts a large palm tree into 10cm thick planks and lays them down off to the side as they will be the railing for the ship, next he started cutting up numerous oak trees and turned them into thick planks as these would be the basis of the ship. having made the frame of the ship after hours of carving, nailing and thinking he knew that he would need more wood. the aspiring shipwright went back off the beach and cut down many more trees and tended for the saplings he had placed. A week or so goes on and Ryuuka finds himself with a sturdy half frame of the lower part of the ship, with that little confidence boost that he is doing good he builds the other side with haste. later on after he had finished making the lower frame the shipwright cut planks about 2 times as thick as the frame and builds a reinforced hull, then he places a platform the same thickness as the hull on top of it 1.2 meters below the top rim of the hull. Ryuuka then proceeds to place the palm planks he had carved earlier onto the rim to establish the railing on the side.

Alas yet another week passes and Ryuuka has a surplus of supplies, he has built the interior of the lower deck and has made 2 separate rooms and a common room, all rooms remain empty. he begins construction on the captains quarters and the stairwell beside it leading to the lower levels, days after the commence of the first area on top of the deck Ryuuka finally finishes the captains quarters and the stairwell. When he finally finished the captains quarters at the stern of the ship he implemented stairs leading above the captains quarters to the steering wheel. Thus after the stairs Ryuuka carved a steering wheel wheel and all the parts that it may consist of then connected the wheel to the rudders below the ship that he had made prior during the time he made the oak planks for the hull.
having the steering wheel put in and working the shipwright decided to take a break after spending roughly 2-3 weeks in a hollow transportation vehicle Ryuuka really needed a break, he created a small shack a bit off the sandy shore next to the ship and named the beach "Ryuuka Reef" and thus unofficially claimed it by making a sign on the beach that read the name. He spent a a day resting from the strenuous work, Ryuuka slept on the palm leaves he had cut earlier and used the other leaves also. The time he spent relaxing after such a huge chunk of the job had been done felt like the best sleep he had ever had even though he was sleeping like a bum, going back to work felt like falling from heaven yet somehow he managed. Ryuuka proceeded the construction of this ship by adding a top deck to the bow of the ship, to begin the bow's work he built a doorway leading to the lower deck followed by a staircase inside, then he constructed 2 short stairways around the doorway leading onto a deck that was raised slightly  more than the others (around a meter or 2). making a railing to go along with it was the easy part, creating the bowsprit and the figurehead that would go along with it would be the trouble of Ryuuka.

Crafting the Bowsprit took 1 whole tree to create and was reinforced onto the ship with iron, the Figurehead took many many attempts and the design for the head changed over time. Finally deciding on a Bird to be the figure head Ryuuka took another week to make the bird exactly how he had imagined, he thought as a joke that he most as well sell all the failed attempts as sculptures yet he never did. After finally crafting the figurehead he attached it to the bow of the ship then continued to make the final part of the ship, the mast. Using the outstanding craftsmanship he had with such little experience Ryuuka constructed a mast and put it in place, then knowing he did not posses the metals to hold it there he stole metal parts of various ships and boats that had posted up in the docks without being detected and having a few close calls with the ridiculous distractions he used to acquire the parts such as bribing a man with a stolen ring to propose to his lover on the docks next to the ship or even going as far as pretending to be a ship inspector or getting close with the owner, stealing the part that was needed then leaving without a trace. Finally have all the required metals to hold the mast in place Ryuuka set up the mast with quite a bit of trouble but finally did it. The last thing he needed were 2 sails and rope, using his previous methods he got the sails and rope then hastily attached them. Having completed the ship in a total of 2 months, just in time for the festival Ryuuka rejoiced and laid on the beautifully constructed ship and watched the sun set once again closely resembling the same sunset he had watched on the day he started building.
