Halting his piano playing, "I guess it'd be best to just show you hehe..." Junbei said. "I ate the Oto Oto No Mi." Junbei said dancing his fingers against the keys. As the man played, suddenly the sound of the music produced became increasingly loud, as if it was amplified by Junbei's abilities. Releasing sound waves, Junbei's voice echoed in a base type echo as he spoke. "My fruit allows me to alter the pitch of every and all sound produced by my body. I can make it loud or even noiseless." Junbei said, as he then altered the music, removing noise. As Junbei played the pub instantly became dead silent. Everything else in the room still had sound but the sound around him was completely gone. Entering into an intangible state, the man morphed against the waves and appeared in the chair next to Mavis. "I can also travel along the sound waves, it's a pretty nifty fruit. I'm told it's called a Logia or something." Junbei said nonchalantly.

Sitting into the chair, the woman who was watching from the kitchen in amusement, came in with her kitchen staff, filling the table with appetisers. Chicken wings, fish cakes, patties, meatballs and turkey legs, all serving as finger foods until the main dishes were completed. It was on Holly and it was a buffet type meal so the men could eat whatever they wanted and surely Junbei would finish anything they didn't. Drool slowly secreted from the man's mouth.

Mavis was enjoying Jade's company he was a very energetic fellow, he was adorable with how little inexperienced he was. She felt like he was the baby cub of the crew and they all had to protect him that way he had time to grow and prosper like the rest of the crew. In time Jade would be as strong as the rest of the crew or even more, it just took time. Patience. Jade could be a useful decoy or distraction though, if they really needed one, he could be bait too for the enemy. Her mind began to wonder as she mentally had Jade dressed in a huge meat probably cooked steak costume.

Junbei went on to demonstrate his fruit the Oto Oto fruit or better known as Sound Sound Fruit. Mavis smiled as he sat by her.

"I figured you ate a fruit you sea-devil. Heheh." Mavis giggled, teasing the man.

As he told them he thinks it's a logia she nodded.

"Yes, you're correct. Logia's are the fruits that a normal punch or bullet, a sword's slice can't harm. Unless they harness seastone the best weapon against a logia for someone who has a paramecia/zoan or who is fruitless." Mavis informed the whole crew, "The pirates who rescued me their captain ate a Logia Fruit, so that's why I know so much."

Junbei showed off the power of his fruit which was named the Oto Oto no mi, something that was very new for Jade. He had never in his life seen or heard of anything that could give you powers like the ones Junbei had, he wished he could eat something that gave him powers. He even listened when Mavis had explained more about the logia type fruit that was ingested by the captain, how seastone was very effective against them. Jade wondered why fruit users like Junbei couldn't swim or why sea stone affected their powers, maybe the fruits weren't all that Jade thought they were.

"I've never heard of fruits that gave you powers before!" Jade said as he sipped on his milkshake. He thought of how inexperienced he was compared to the rest of the crew, he really wished he knew more stuff but maybe his crew would teach him more as the days passed with them. chugging down his milkshake as he thought more about fruit and his inexperiencedness. Would they be a problem to the rest of his crew? would he weigh them down as they went along as they traveled through the grand line? man he hoped not.

"You know where we could find more fruits like yours captain?" Jade said as he looked at Junbei. Jade wanted power's like Junbei's so that he could actually be a help to everyone instead of like the hindrance he was feeling like at the moment in time.

Patting his hand on Jade's head with his free hand, as the other was digging into a turkey leg, the man swallowing ravenously to clear his mouth exclaimed, "No Clue!". "Besides as much as these abilities are useful, they can be a pain at times." Junbei said, clutching at the wounds he'd sustained from his conflict with Kipp. "However, if there's any place that might have something that rare, it might actually be Skypeia. Who knows what kind of treasures they have stashed away up there?" Junbei said grinning. "I can't wait to tryout there instruments." Junbei said with his eyes glowing as he daydream of weird contraptions he could make ample noise with.

"Who'd want to trade their ability to swim? Looking back, I'd probably do a do-over" Junbei said puffing out his cheeks as he scarfed down another plate full of appetisers. Charlotte sat quietly, scribbling away at her map, trying to figure out a pathway out of Jaya, chartering the crews course towards the stream. Every now and again, she'd look up, taking a few nibbles from the appetisers, she wasn't much of the eater like the other members of the crew seemed to be. Looking up towards Jade, "If you do eat a Devil Fruit and you fall into water, you'll have to be my servant for two weeks, so I can experiment- I mean, have you fully pay me back for my service." Charlotte said winking at the man with the same vigour as say a lion would roar at it's prey.

Mavis looked at her crew they seemed content with the idea of the fruits having powers, well the fact not idea. Mavis saw no point in eating one, sure it gave you abilities, but at the cost of you can't swim. Also better hope it doesn't storm when you fight, she smirked at the idea of Junbei trying to fight in a huge storm, she could see him threatening to whoop someones ass then last minute realize his powers are being negated. Jade seemed interested in obtain a fruit, Mavis wasn't against it but it would be a hassle if he fell in the water and needed one of them to help him out during a battle, not that she wouldn't help it'd just be a hassle.


"Well Jade, it's sort of random fruits hold these powers, however they're devil fruits, and in exchange of having amazing abilities you pay the price of losing any control of yourself in the water." Mavis informed him even further.

She sipped on her milkshake to wet her throat, she was probably the only one who had barely touched food/appetizers or wine she's just taken a drink from the milkshake.

"So Junbei do you have an idea on how we're going to tackle the islands in the sky?" Mavis asked, curious to know her captain's plan.

Most likely he would have no clue and Charlotte would be the one who knew how everything was suppose to unfold at this point. Either way Mavis didn't mind she was happy to help.

Jade's head was patted by his captain after he announced his interest in finding a devil fruit. He started to eat after he heard that Junbei had no clue where a devil fruit may be, signaling that they maybe harder to find then he wanted it to be. He should have known something that gives someone cool powers like that would be hard to obtain. As he finished his milkshake and finished his first plate of food, he heard Charlotte say that if he ever feel in water after he obtained a devil fruit he would become her science experiment. That creeped Jade out a bit but he managed to smile "That would be fun" he said nervously as he looked her.

Jade had just finished a second plate when Mavis said that the powers of a fruit were random, leading jade to think even if he did obtain a fruit, what power would he get? plus he wouldn't be able to swim anymore, a huge disadvantage as they were going to be at sea. He was starting to think maybe he just needed to harness his physical abilities more. After ordering two more milkshakes and finishing a third plate he chimed in with what Mavis said "Yeah how are we going to get there? I've never even heard of a place in the sky" He said. Jade didn't know anything about anything actually, he spent so much time training and taking care of his siblings he never studied the geography. "I'm sure you know something Charlotte!" he exclaimed as his milkshakes arrived.

"I really have no intention other than travelling there at the moment." Junbei declared, sipping on some root beer from his mug. "My dream of travelling to Skypeia isn't really mine in the first place. Most of these goals are an old friend of mine's own. However, personally, there's one thing I want to research, their instruments. That's my main goal." Junbei concluded. "Getting there like I said is the hardest part. Riding the geyser up towards Skyeia is the real trick. I haven't even gotten a chance to see this so called ship that Junbei found. I said this already Jade! Pay attention!" Charlotte exclaimed. "However, if we position ourself anywhere other than the centre of it's rising we could be in for rocky ride up. We even have a chance of falling off." Charlotte said smiling menacingly.

"With that being said. Stick close to me if anything goes wrong. I should be able to use my abilities in someway. It's just falling in the sea might be the biggest downfall. " Junbei said grinning. Pressing against the wall, Junbei propped his foot on the table. The old woman from the bar, listening into their conversation walked over and sat next to Junbei, attempting to kiss him on his cheek. Falling onto the ground, "What in-" Junbei exclaimed. "So shy." Holly said winking. "If you go to Skypeia, take this sugars." Holly said taking out a map from her bosom. "It's a map of the sky islands. I'll give it to ya' for a kiss on the cheek." Holly said winking. "Eh... Not interest-" Junbei exclaimed but his words were frozen by the look in Junbei's eyes.

"Oi." Junbei stated. "JunJun... It's just a little peck." Charlotte said grinning, with her eyes oozing with evil intentions. Walking over to Junbei, the captain backed away with his eyes portraying his discomfort. Looking across to Jade and Mavis, "You guys wouldn't let her kiss me right?" Junbei said flustered.

Mavis watched her crew-mate Jade devour his food, he seemed interested in the same thing as her about Skypiea.

"The pirates I sailed with, they had told me of the riches of Skypiea. Hopefully we can survive the trip there though." Mavis stated.

However Mavis had given her life to Junbei so if they did die she couldn't really complain. Also Junbei had stated that he could use his powers to rescue them from the fall down, but however that means when they touch the sea water he'd be useless. It's a small price to save, they could easily help him though. A old woman had adventured over and promised a map of the sky islands, as long as Junbei gave her a kiss. Charlotte teased him telling him it was only a kiss.

Mavis nodded, she agree'd it was just a mere kiss. Also the crew needed this map of the sky islands.


"Junbei just do it for the maps, we actually really need it." Mavis informed him, hopefully he would understand why she agree'd.

Just now feeling the effects as everyone around him was talking, Jade finally noticed that his milkshakes were spiked, they must have did it because of all the sake Junbei ordered and thought he wanted his in his drink. He listened as Junbei said that traveling to skypeia was the only plan he had so far, which kind of upset him, but when he heard it wasn't entirely his dream to do so he understood a bit more. However Jade laughed a little when he said he wanted to research the instruments that they had, which was no real surprise wth him. This young man however wanted to travel all over the grand line, he became a pirate for a reason besides just wanting to take down the marines.

Charlotte chimed in and explained what she knew, scolding Jade a little because he had been to busy drinking a milkshake to remember what she had said before. It was kind of scary to Jade since they could fall off of the stream and potentially die but luckily Junbei said he could use his abilities to help us but he was useless once he touched the water. Man was this getting hectic to think about, luckily Mavis chimed in about riches which suddenly got the tipsy Jade's attention. He wondered what they could have, things they would allow him to have, the knowledge he could acquire.

While lost in thought he didn't realize the lady trying to get a kiss from Junbei for a map they needed. He chucked for a good minute before speaking again "come on cap! Like Mavis said we really need this map!" He said with a smile. "Plus, that's a beautiful lady that wants to kiss ya!" He finished while laughing a little more. Man was this funny, but he hoped his captain allowed it because that map is vital to their travels.

It felt like a baby's wet wipe had been plastered all over the man's face as he wept in the corner with a kiss mark on his cheek. Charlotte, Mavis and Jade all continued feasting at the table, examining the map of Skypeia that was passed onto to them from Holly.

Spoiler:

Opening the map, Charlotte's eyes lit up when she saw a pyramid type fixture in the middle of the map. "Looks like treasure." Charlotte said grinning. "Junbei! How long are you going to sulk over a little kiss?" Charlotte exclaimed. As Junbei turned back to look over his shoulder, "It was my first one... Isabella told me that the first person you kiss will be your soulmate. I can't-" Junbei stopped, vomit entering his mouth as he thought about the notion of marrying Holly, who was almost three times his age. Recovering from his sulking, the Captain dragged his feet over towards the table, still pouting as shivers went through his spine as Holly watched him winking. As Junbei looked at the map, his eyes glossed at the section called Angel Island. "An island of angels... I wanna go!" Junbei exclaimed, thinking back with a slight grin about all of the times he'd tell Isabella that she was angel and himself a devil. He wondered what an actual angel would look like for a moment as Holly walked over brining the last of the meal to the table.

"Skypeia is pretty much a myth around here. I bought that map off an adventurer friend of mine who claimed he went there. If ya' really going to Ride Knock Stream, then that map's your go to around the cities Sugars." Holly grinning. "But be careful. I've been told that there fairly hostile to land dwellers for some reason." Holly said winking walking away.

Mavis was thankful for the Captain's bravery even though it was foolish.

-Flashback-

Mavis felt her self began to sweat. She stared at Makashi and a few of the other crew members in the room, besides Makashi, they must all have around sixty million bounty. She shivered. Surely Siwsune, couldn't fight she had to be around the age of six, right? She seemed weak. 

"Mavis, we're waiting." A man with black hair covering his face said quietly in the dark.

Mavis nodded. "Right." 

"Mavis, no worries. You can just travel with us." Siwsune said, her voice quiet and sweet like honey.

Mavis shook her head no. "No no, Siwsune. I'll join you, it's not my final decision though, but for now yes."

Siwsune cheered and screamed. "Woohoo!! Alright crew! Welcome Mavis to the crew! She's a badass sniper! Pretty good at Navigation."

Mavis stared at the small girl who had just cussed. Makashi patted her back rubbing it slightly, only for a few mere seconds. She shivered, the touch sent shivers up her spine. 

"My name is Zare, nice to meet you." The man from before smiled, tilting his head upwards to reveal amber-yellow eyes, which brought out his fair pale skin.

Mavis smiled. "Yea. I'm Mav-" 

A man with a blonde Afro grabbed her hand. "Mavis Lockheart, such beauty exerts from your sweet dazzling name!" He smirked."I'm Musomo, the doctor of this crew!" His skin was dark and he had a few freckles on his face, along with green eyes. "You're quite lovely, hopefully you'll soon be Mrs. Namumi soon." 

Mavis chuckled slightly, a bit shy. Zare had delivered a blow to his head, scoffing at him mimicking his tone, acting like an idiot. Musomo ran to hide in his quarters. Zare sighed, he really didn't favor Musomo's slutty behavior. 

"Sorry about that... he falls for anyone pretty." Zare apologized.

Mavis nodded with a blush. "Well... thanks." 

Zare gave his killer smirk, that he was famous for, by the blue sea women. "Can't say I blame him."

"Idddiiiiots!" Siwsune came to Mavis' rescue and smashed Zare's head in and then kicked him into the ship's haul. "Sorry, about them. They're just a couple of horn dogs!" She pouted. "They won't hit on me because I look like a child! Stupid men." 

Mavis pondered on what came out of Siwsune's mouth, but she played it off as nothing, it could've just been nothing. She was a little girl, so it wasn't a big deal, they have crazy imaginations. Siwsune guided Mavis to their crew's frigate, which had obviously been upgraded, it was almost as big as Orange Town, the island they had escaped. She sat on the railing of the upper deck. Looking at their flag. It was a skull eating a pink lollipop and it had blue cotton candy for hair, she began look away.

"For such a dangerous crew... Siwsune doesn't match the look nor does their flag..." Mavis stated. "I mean how is a little girl like her commanding such a powerful crew." She couldn't grasp how such a girl had such power over a crew.

Later that day around, the afternoon, the sun was readying to set. Siwsune had gathered a bunch of fireworks and candy, the others had various cooked meat, prepared by Zare, along with onigiri. Mavis, took only a smoothie, which Zare had prepared for her, extra soft and extra sweet. She counted the crew out so far, four... wait four!? Mavis tried to see if their was anymore members, maybe they were on vacation?

"Are you trying to find the other crew mates?" Siwsune asked.

Mavis nodded, she couldn't find anymore.

"Well, there's none! Just us." 

Mavis jaw dropped as she fell over. Unbelievable, she was crazy... maybe even more crazy then Ty! They showed incredible strength though, from what she's seen so far.

"Captain don't lie... we have another around here." Makashi mumbled. 

Siwsune looked confused. "We do?"

Musomo slapped his self. "CAAAPTAIN! REMEMBER HANIRU!"  

"Oh yea. Pwahahaha!" She bursted into laughter. "He's our sniper." 

Mavis looked around, a man only shorter than Makashi, with bright red hair spiked up and slicked backwards stood leaning again the haul. He waved slightly at her, and he went under the deck vanishing from the others eyesight.

"Mavi-Mavi, whats the matter, have some fun!" Siwsune smiled.

Mavis looked over to see Zare and Musomo battling, Zare delivering some quick punches and slick kicks, Musomo, firing lightning out of a tool at Zare. Her eyes widened, was the whole crew so barbaric? She's doomed to death!

"Captain. I see a pirate ship approaching, they look like they're up to no good, should we dock on land and fight them?" Makashi informed Siwsune, his voice calm as ever.

Siwsune shook her head no. "Lets let them raid our ship, it'll be fine." 

Makashi nodded, he was ready to follow the captain through every order. As predicted the pirates were strong but nothing compared to them, even Mavis could destroy them, now that she had all her ammunition variety, even with out the full supply. Makashi had sent a huge blue wave of power from his blade at their ship cutting it in half sinking the survivors on board.

"Nice job Makashi! Now my turn! Searing Flares!" Musomo's tool shot three fire balls in a blink of the eye at three pirates sending them dead overboard.

Zare had crushed two skulls with his feet. Siwsune sat back as Haniru shot five bullets at the remaining pirates. So this was the power of Siwsune's crew, it was terrifying, they didn't even sweat. They attacked so swiftly and easily, they made easy work of the pirates, clean and quick. Mavis was up for a big adventure, it was certain with these pirates, certain.

-End of Flashback-

Mavis had wondered off, bored and tired. She turned to her friends waving bye, the memories of meeting the Flaming Candy Pirates still fresh on her mind.

After witnessing Cap'n Junbei take a kiss from the old lady the tipsy Jade started to laugh. He didn't want too but the way Junbei reacted to the kiss was hilarious, he never saw a man react to a kiss from a lady so weepingly. She was an old lady but she was a cute one so Jade thought the Junbei had no real reason to be sulking. However a large smile appeared on his face as Junbei was given the map a vital part of their trip! This couldn't make tipsy Jade anymore happier. He heard the old lady speak and say that she was had bought the map from a pirate but the people who live in skypiea don't like people who live below them. "Well, that's weird they don't know us" Jade said to himself before looking over to Mavis to see what she had to say anything.

However when he looked at her she seemed to be in a daze, almost as if she was deep in a memory. While in her daze Mavis seemed to get up and head towards the door but she seemed to come out of her head as she smiled and waved by to them all. "Bye Mavis!" Jude said as he waved furiously. He finished his fifth milkshake as he began to think its time for him to get going so he could work on more of his skills in the morning. Jade spoke as he began to get up from the table "Hey Cap! I'm gonna go, I need to get some sleep for training" he slurred as he hugged both Junbei and Charlotte before he headed towards the door. He smiled as he left because he was happy he found some people he could actually travel and be close too, he never thought he would. Jade smiled back at his crew mates one more time before heading out the bar door to go to his hotel and lay down.

-EXIT-

As Jade exited the pub, "Hey! Don't forget to meet back here tomorrow morning! We leave at dawn!" the man shouted grinning at this new crew-mate. Turning towards Mavis, "I think I'm going to stock up on some more supplies for our trip towards Skypeia." Junbei stood up stretching, bowing towards Holly to thank her for the meal. "Charlotte. We'll be staying here for the night. I'm going to check up on the Flying Dutchman just to let Harvey know what's up!" Junbei said, biting into the turkey leg with his front teeth. As Junbei exited the building, Holly came over to musician, whispering the following words into his ears, "Beware of Allure." Holly said ominously. "Who?" the man said mumbled, gnawing into the meat on the bone. "The group you intercepted with Kincaid, I already gave him the warning. It seems the higher ups within the organisation will be after you and your crew." Holly stated. Finishing off the meat, the man simply smiled, "If they have a problem with me stomping on someone who pissed me off, I don't mind. Slave trade... Organisations... Higher Ups... Same opinions I have on the marines applies to them. I'll crush them. That's how selfish my will is." Junbei said grinning. Nudging the woman on her shoulder, Junbei pushed passed her respectively exiting the pub. Walking towards the port, Junbei looked and noticed on the wanted boards across Mock Town, his poster, as well as Mavis and Charlotte were plastered on the boards. 'Beware of the Song Birds.'
