"We're all caged song birds, waiting for someone to hear our sound"

"Tch. They're getting away." Junbei thought, still shrouded in the dust field. "Oh well." the musician shrugged, abandoning his disguise. After all of the destruction caused to the buildings by the sonic-boom, The Unknown Assailant and the Winged Being, managed barely by the hair on their chins to escape. However, the extra grunts within the area were done for, thirty or more in number dead. Waiting, the Auburn Songbird scanned for any signs of life and, finally that the duo in flight to escape out of his scope before making his next move. Entering back into his intangibility state, Junbei would retreat back towards Lovely Street, the chaos from the sounds of it had eased up a bit. His senses sharpened for any other shenanigans that might lie in wait for him as he swarmed back towards the Street in a linear fashion. As he arrived, a bird like man, seriously, they were some weird things on Sky Island, descended from the Sky. He wasn't like the other winged beings however, his wings glowed with a luminance, red in hue. He wasn't of the Winged Race it seemed, honestly, he seemed to be a human with wings for arms, as strange as that sounds but so are twenty-two foot tigers. Breaking through the crowd, now reforming to his solid state, only two meters separated the two. Grinning, "Are you the crazy bastard who shot that ship out of the sky?" Junbei inquired, scratching his head. "I need to be more careful nowadays, if it wasn't for you, I might've had a bullet wedged somewhere in me. Rishi Rishi" Junbei exclaimed. "T-T-That man just appeared out of nowhere!" a man shouted from the crowd, dropping to the ground in disbelief, even his wings were frozen solid. "It's the Auburn Songbird fellow! He was in Lovely Street earlier, such a dreamy bad boy!" a young girl shouted with sparkling eyes. "They must be of legend! Gods from the other islands!" a woman shouted.

"I don't know about Gods. Well speaking for me at least. Rishi Rishi" Junbei exclaimed chuckling. "Hey, I think you're garnering a bit too much attention. It should take awhile before the Berets or whatever make it here, wanna grab a drink?" Junbei inquired grinning. However, the fear on the face of the people was just too much for Junbei, opening his mouth, the man began to sing a solemn melody, it's melodic hums calmed the scared villagers tensed faces, causing them to close their eyes and huddle around the duo, they became relaxed, so chill to the point where after a few moments, they dropped their guards, offering to hear more of the man's song and inquire the Winged Man about his origins. Entering into a pub, Junbei signalled for a waitress, flapping over, the woman took the two men's orders, as they now sat the table, being flocked on by a variety of Winged. "I guess we're the centre of attention for the night." Junbei stated.

"We're all caged song birds, waiting for someone to hear our sound"

As they entered into the bar, the two red heads sat side by side at the counter as the people gawked at the 'other red head' in odd admiration, almost obsessive or cult like. "Exactly what kind of magic did you pull off in the sky to make them so into you, it's a little stifling of the mood. Though, it's an interesting twist since I'm usually the centre of attention on stage." Junbei stated as he checked out the waitress, who slightly scared to say anything. Turning to her and smiling warmly, "Could I have two bottles of small Sake, on me?" Junbei inquired. "Yes sir!" the woman announced, flapping away with a flushed look on her face. "Sir!?" Junbei exclaimed, "That's new." Junbei said chuckling in his 'Rishi Rishi' laughing pattern. The pub was quite festive, the musician on stage of the Angel Kiss Pub Nico was really doing his thing, starting back up on the saxophone and his band on the keys. Junbei gawked at the stage from his seated position, noticing all of the instruments were made from dials. His sparkled, even drooling a little fascination until the other Red Head's question snapped him back to reality. "Sorry about that! When I hear music, I kind of get immersed." Junbei said scratching his head.

"I'm here to deliver a message for an old friend. I guess you could say I'm fulfilling my old Captain's wishes. I had a feeling she'd haunt me from the grave if I didn't come here otherwise." Junbei said spinning on the movable stool top, as he awaited the incoming drinks. "What's with the whole 'God' thing, are you a superstar around these parts or what not?" Junbei inquired, stopping the motion, as he turned to the countertop, as the waitress approached with the Sake. Waiting a bit, the two would converse, Junbei awaiting the man's response as the tray with the two small bottles of Sake, and shot glasses lied idle on the tray. Picking up the glass, Junbei poured the vessel to it's brim, sliding it over to the God Bird. "If I'm going to share drinks with you, I think I should formally introduce myself. Names Junbei Von Echo, somewhere along the line for better or for worst, they started calling me the Auburn Songbird." Junbei said grinning as he poured himself a shot.

The upbeat jazz snares rippled through the Angel Kiss pub, Nico was in a trance, his fingers dancing against the keys on the saxophone, as the music leaked into the street, the joint was swinging. "Hmm... He's pretty good. I might recruit him for my crew." Junbei thought, finishing off his first shot, admiring the man's passion filled notes.

"We're all caged song birds, waiting for someone to hear our sound"

"Bazel D. Wiggins... Bazel... Bazzy... Nah... If you don't mind I'll call you Baz." Junbei exclaimed. Time seemingly froze for the two pirates, neither of them knew what this meeting truly meant. As the people in the bar started to dance, the duo drank the Sake and made merry. After a few shots, Junbei rested his back against the counter, staring at the ceiling. "Hey Baz." Junbei said in one utterance. "You ever thought about the world we live in now?" Junbei asked, slightly intoxicated from the last few rounds. "I'm not one for politics nor do I really hate the World... but it feels wrong. There must be something more to it all. I want to see it Baz! What the other Pirate King's chased... What these so call Shichibukai run after... Why the Titan's clash... I want to take it all in one breath. Like that first breath before you play a newly completed piece... or the look of an audience when you finish it." Junbei declared. "That's why I sail. Maybe I'm sharing too much, Rishi Rishi." Junbei exclaimed in a stumble onto the table.

A few more hours passed, the duo exchanged words conversational topics about there views on life, even more as the waitress walked pass them both blushing, their taste in women. "I think I got a thing for Winged Women." Junbei exclaimed grinning, the irony of the statement due to his love interest with Isabella on Base #45. "She's not as beautiful as Izzy was though." Junbei stated one last time before lifting himself from the table. Sitting up straight, the bands music ceased. Junbei's eyes cleared up, as Nico as his men walked passed in shackles, Junbei pulled his tonfa from his holster, breaking the chains of the enslaved musicians. In one motion, Junbei finished off the attackers, slamming his Blitz Sticks into their handlers. Reaching into the man's backpack, Junbei got the keys to their shock collars, garnering the men their freedom.

"Well Baz. It was nice meeting you but I think I've found the musicians I was looking for." Junbei said, resting his weapons back into his holster. "Who are you?" Nico asked, shocked at the development at hand. "If your interested, you can follow me." Junbei said grinning. Walking over to the table, Junbei left a large sum of extol, grinning at the waitress. "It's been fun. I have a feeling this won't be last time I'll be hearing about you, Fire Bird. I owe you one. If you ever need me, look for a Jolly Roger with a skeletal bird on it. I'll come swarming in." Junbei said grinning. The moon shone brightly on Lovely Street that night, Nico and followed Junbei back to their hideout at Juju's spot. After hours of travel, the pack of musician's arrived, "It's time for us to end this, Juju." Junbei entered into the house grinning.
