...It was a Nice Day Outside.

Byron had migrated across the East Blue via ferry to the West. One of his first stops being Yotsuba Island. Place seemed like nothing special, almost as generic as logue, but it was good enough. The okama had come over here to evade his pursuers. Last thing he needed was any more "attacks" on his ass. As he would browse through the area, Yotsuba was a pretty generic place, he blended in rather well with the area. As Byron himself was "a generic" guy. Though he had a minor bounty on his head, it was nothing easily recognizable. Brushing his hand softly through his hair, weather wasn't too hot or too cold for him right now. As he'd carefully tear a leaf off of a tree and look at it.

So Frail. Yet there's so many of them, in a sense, Byron was reminded of himself off of that leaf. As the okama carefully stared at the lines within it. He would then toss it away, for it to be scattered by the wind onto the ground with other piles of leaves. Was his life just like a leaf? One that could be picked up by anyone and tossed away like it was nothing?Reality was cruel to everyone equally. Byron pondered this, as he would look at the fallen leaf before resuming about his day. Nothing really interesting seemed to be going on right now.

While Trently had been strolling with Raphael, The Buddha asked him quite the interesting question. Raphael had asked why the young prince always covered his lower face with a white cloth. Trently closely listened to the rest of what Raphael had to say and didn't say a word until about ten seconds later when he decided to open his mouth to speak. "You'll know why soon" Trently smirked at Raphael for a quick while and dug his hands inside his pockets while observing the town's surroundings. The prince kept strolling himself into the town all while citizens kept giving him dirty looks. He kept looking out at the ocean every now and then, itching to go out at sea and look for more ventures although he has been stuck on the Yotsuba island for a while. As he was walking a leaf swiftly floats by in front of Trently, little things such as a leaf floating by wouldn't usually make him think anything of it but this time it did. Was it too peaceful of a day Trently wondered. Being such a relaxing day Trently gives a thought or two about what other people around the world may be doing at the moment. Maybe he should read the newspaper Trently had thought to himself. Wondering about others should be the least of his worries at the moment though since the Buddha and the Prince still have no source of transportation or plans on what to currently do. Hopefully him and Raphael can decide on something soon.

Byron had continued to walk. However, as he was walking. A sudden invasion had appeared to go on, as a crew of people had pulled up to port and were fighting among-st the local marines. However from the current characters in this thread's location. They just were not about to see that yet. As various scuffles could be heard from those who were closer to the docks.

Some roughly dressed men seemed to make their way through the town now however. Past the initial conflict. There were about 20 of them. Over at Trently and Raphael's Position. They would be able to see 8 moving around. Attempting to Co-Erce the local Populace into giving them money.



The duo would see 8 moving amongst the various people walking by and attempting to strong arm them into giving them money. However, one would notice the duo and go over to them. With his knife drawn.


The mook would press his Switchblade against Trentlys face. It was up to the duo to decide what they were going to do now.

Enemies at Buddha and Trent:

Meanwhile, Byron was in the general vincinity of where Trent and Raphael were and noticed similar on goings. Just what the hell was happening right now....Was there a raid going on this town? As another mook seemed to approach him.


With his sword drawn at the okama. He looked vulnerable and weak to him at that moment it seemed.

Enemies Near Byrons Position:

Annoyed by his previous remark. Byron would side step him and proceed to face-plant him onto the hard ground. Such a sudden attack would debilitate the mook. However now it got the rest of the mooks attention.


One of the stronger "mooks" brandished his own sword, as the rest began to get their individual weapons out that were near Byrons Position.

The mooks at Trent and Raphael's position were tense now upon hearing and seeing what was going down. They weren't going to move from this position though, and were going to try to get whatever money they could before taking down this "new resistant mark".

Their day began with not much to do except hang out together and maybe just check out Yotsuba island out for the who knows how many times already. Its a good thing they have some company to take care of or else who'd know what would have happened. While strolling with Raphael the day took a twist when a man approached them and had put a sharp knife to Trently's face. Raphael without hesitating clenched his fist and swung at the man with great intensity it seemed. Trently watched the situation unfold, Raphael without question had already began chasing after the man's accomplices. The man who got hit in the jaw attempted to quickly throw a kick at Raphael. Trently was quite confused and it took him a couple seconds to take grasp of the situation and understand that the town was being under attacked by invaders.

For some odd reason Trently began thinking back about what Raphael had told him, about Trently being young and that he is here and that is all that matters. He hated the fact that some looked down on him for being young and having to be protected but that wasn't the issue at all since Trently can take well care of himself alone. If he hadn't been there to save Raphael from the bullet who knows what could have happened to Raphael that day. This is partly due to that Raphael hasn't seen the other side of the young prince when things like people looking at him as a innocent young boy occur. Trently quickly begins escalating his anger further and further the more he thought about those words. Looking down at the ground, clenching his fists with all his anger and might. The young prince has now been angered beyond all belief.

The okama quickly brandished his gloves as he took a combatative stance torwards those surrounding him. Ugh. These men were swarthy and strange, and from the looks of it greedy. Too ugly to be around him~. As another weaker looking one attempted to swing his sword down at Byron, the Okama would side step and proceed to pierce into his neck with his claws. Throwing him with his momentum to the side against a building. Leading to 2 of his assailants down.



Two more of the grunts appeared to attack with their swords, but were cut off by Byron rushing torwards them and using a special technique of his own. That allowed him to execute a thin but wide Horizontal slash through them on each of their chests. Catching them by surprise and making the "grunts" cow down.

Skill Used:

Stamina Left:275/290

The rest had started to surround him now, brandishing their knives and swords at the ready. Leaving about five grunts left, where as while the Okama was checking his surroundings, he would see two boys attempting to fight against the grunts, appearing rather young. He'd call out to them,.


Byron had said while hearing one of the lesser mooks attempt to rush him from behind, only to quickly duck under and throw him down on the ground with his own momentum, then slashing the back of his neck for good measure. Damnit I'm making a mess....The blood was really starting to spread around, he was jealous of the lack of a mess blunt weapon users made.

Enemies at Byrons Position:

The attack from Raphael would connect, however the grunt that he had hit was not exactly a weakling, as he'd only be sent back slightly from his basic attack. His jaw certainly in some form of pain. Damn were these kids even "kids". Or were they something that just wasn't normal? Moving back and attempting to  hit him with a straight kick, he wasn't gonna take any chances with his knife. Due to the boy's sudden attack. The rest of their "comrades" decided to pay attention to their presence now. Circling around them with Knives and various weapons. The man Raphael had hit was certainly hurt, but not down.

Now beginning to be surrounded by the group of invading pirates, Trently gave a hard glare at Raphael for a good portion of time. Trently tends to raise his anger up a level when he thinks about being looked upon as a person who needs to be taken care of. Trying his best to calm his anger down, He takes multiple deep breaths. Grasping ahold of the situation he is in, Trently sets up into his offensive stance but with a much sinister objective this time around. The grunts surrounding us looked like unexperienced pirates except for possibly a couple of them who looked quite intimidating. Raphael seemed much excited and eager to get ready to unleash all of his fury on the enemies who are ready to come at him with full force is what Trently saw at the moment for Raphael. It was very different for Trently at the moment though, He wasn't going to defend himself but instead use all his built up anger on crushing and harming every single pirate coming at him. It'd be a very horrible situation if Raphael were to accidently bump into Trently during a time like this where he cannot control his own rising steaming anger. Intensely glaring at the whole crowd surrounding the two boys, Trently opens his mouth to piss off the invading pirates. "Fuck you all, I dare you to mess with me!". It seems that Trently purposely has told the pirates that in order to lure them all toward Trently. Not knowing if this trick will work, Trently grips onto his own fist beginning to crack his knuckles.

These boys were strange, probably preoccupied with their current assailant, but to Byron, these weren't exactly tough guys, but they outnumbered him heavily. So he kept up his guard. One of the stronger ones remaining at his position unsheathed a sword of his, a double handed long sword and pointed it at the okama as a sort of challenge.



Preparing a careful movement, the man swung at Byron. Charging directly at him, which caused the okama to duck quickly. He still had a reflex superiority over him, but clashing with him head on was certainly out of the question. Ducking under him He'd deliver a quick stab from his right claw into the man's abdomen. Before weaving to the left and slashing violently across his Jugular vein. Releasing a quick stream of red as a result of Byron's "Cut". However Byron had been distracted by his opponent, resulting in one of the grunts directly stabbing him in the back left shoulder.


Immediatly, he'd spin around in pain. Delivering a 180 Slash across the grunt that decided to attack him's face. Throwing the man back with a loud AGH!. The claws had done a good job of rending his face as his fresh wounds would spurt blood from that area. The grunt lieing on the floor clutching his face in agony. Surveying the area around him, two more were left, leading to Byron taking mostly a careful stance when it came to the two. Who knows what they were capable of.


The man attacked by Raphael's combination would attempt to counteract his blow to his jaw, only to be overwhelmed by his combination attack. Sending the mook down in almost an instant. The rest however did not take this lightly, and began to move closer and closer to the duo with their weapons drawn. As Three with quick gall rushed torwards Raphael. One with a thin long sword and the two with some form of guantlets. Intent on Maimimg him. The swordfighter would attempt a vertical slash downwards at him, while the others would begin to rush at him. Intent on dishing out a few blows. The group had Identified him as a main threat.

As for trently, the rest would perceive him as "some dumb kid". Attempting to make big talk but no action.Oi Kid. I'll be the first to give you the whipping your parents should have!a voice rang from one of those amongst the mob. As the man would quickly pull out a flintlock and aim it at Trentlys Foot. Firing a false shot near it in order to cause the boy to flinch. Before attempting to run up to him and Pistol bash him. How the duo counterattacked the attacks coming at them right now was up to them.

The Blue Prince's plan had failed making the grunts look at Trently as a kid who acts tough only to be weak in the end. This wasn't the case though, Trently had been tougher than most of those grunt pirates for years now. One of the men upon the crowd, pulled out a flintlock and shot it near by Trently in order for the teenager to flinch. The attempt to induce the prince into flinching failed, Not moving an inch and staring straight at the man who fired the gunshot. Lucky for Trently, the grunt did not know what he was getting himself into. The man attempted to run up to the blue haired boy trying to pistol bash him, but Trently really wasn't feeling it at the moment so the Prince decided to show everyone how serious he really is. As the man ran up to him, Trently took no hesitation into beating the living shit out of him. Ducking down the man attempted to pistol whip him, Trently stepped in and attempts with all his force to sink his fist into the man's stomach. Following the punch to the stomach, Trently attempts to land a fatal blow to the man's nose. Trently's white cloth covering his face began to drop and reveal his face. Only focused on beating the living shit out of the man, Trently ignores the feeling of the cloth beginning to drop from his face. If anyone notices the prince, he'll be in a dire situation.

Raphael would find his initial attack succeeding. As the swordsman was taken by surprise by the boys sidestep. They were underestimating the kid over here, as the man dropped his blade and went back. Bumping into another one of the gauntlet armed men that had been sent towards Raphael.  However the one Raphael would attempt to assault would throw a right hook directly at him as the young boy moved over to hit him. Despite his clearly brutal onslaught, the man still landed a Hit directly on Raphael's left shoulder. Being overwhelmed by the boy's sudden blows on him.

As for Trent. As he ducked under, the Man would attempt to aim his pistol down to shoot him, only to be instead hit hard in his abdomen, which sent the mook recoiling back. The rest of the men seemed to get into a frenzy however. As they would converge upon the boys, the remainders of their forces coming at them

MOOKS LEFT:

He stood at the ready, facing the other two mooks. As the okama went on the offensive, proceeding to rush torwards one of the remaining mooks who was attempting to get a read on him. The mook tried to react, but Byron was alot faster. Raking his claws down the man's face torwards his heart region with his left hand. He would then Palm strike him down onto the ground, before flipping back around to the other mook trying to take him down from behind as well. Man, backstabs were starting to become a serious frustration for him -,-

The man's knife was about to sink into his mid back area before he turned around, and with that he would sink his right hands claws into the man's eyes with a stabbing pincer like motion. Piercing past his eyeballs. He went down in an instant. Byron would pull back his claws, disgusted at what he really had done just now. Just.... What the hell. He never attempted such grisly manuevers before on those who attacked him.

But it was kill or be killed, and he certainly wasn't dieing today. He would attempt to run over to where the others were facing their own bandits, but was delayed by the distance between them and his own personal exhaustion.
