Zanji Stood by the side of his trusted navigator as he brought him into the harbor of the island of alabasta.  It had been quite some time since he was last on alabasta. he wondered if his old inventor compatriot was still there.  A seagull passing over head gave a loud caw and he was somewhat startled. His body jolted his head after hearing the bird squawk, His first mate checked beneath the bone mask. " Getting a little jumpy there captain?" He narrowed his eyes his right hand flaring up. He then chuckled and extinguished his hand. "Maybe could be i just really freaking hate birds. bring her in i need to stretch my legs out on land." His navigator nodded his head and  he gave a sharp whistle indicating the men to furl the sails.  The ship barely rocked as it was hit sailed through the somewhat rough waters.  He let out a long yawn and scratched his back with his right hand as he looked out onto the horizon.  He hoped that roku was still on the island he so wanted to see her face on the improvements that he had acquired for the air cannon as well as his detachable exosuit that lay beneath his clothes.

There he saw a sight he was glad to see finally. He rubbed his eyes making sure it wasn't a mirage and sure enough it was real a island. He let out a cheer and would of jumped for joy as the ship was carefully and  boat and that would make it capsize. He quickly put the oars out and began to row towards the island. He was so excited this was the first island he would of visited since he left his home. He hummed to himself as he rowed keeping his mind off of the grueling and bothersome task. He hated rowing but it was the best he could do since he did not own a real ship of his own just yet. He sighed as he finally pulled into dock and tied his ship to the port. He was glad to be out of the water onto dry land again. He stretched out his arms and legs and began making his way into town.

He hung his violin case over his right shoulder and walked slowly catching the different sites and activities of the island. He was amazed at everything he had never been on his home island before and he was excited at all the different sight, and smells of this town. His stomach growled loudly as he caught the scent of meat cooking. His mouth watered as he reached into his pocket and found nothing but pocket lint. He sighed and tossed the lint onto the ground and hung his head low and felt around his inner coat pockets and found some berri he had stashed away.  "Just enough for a hot meal and a few drinks." he retched and coughed for a moment and shook his head at the unpleasant smell that would surely greet hims nose. He sighed as he walked down the street and found a main plaza like area. there were lots of people about shopping when he was hit with a idea. He smiled and walked towards a white marble fountain  and headed into a nearby tavern and ordered a mug of rum and the special roast pig loin  and took a seat on the outer edge and opened his violin case and pulled out his violin. People loved street performers after all he cleared his throat and placed his violin out towards the crowd and began to play a song that lulled the sense of the compatriots, thoughts of a mothers love singing to her child of a lullabye of a long forgotten age his fingers moving gracefully across the strings, a feeling of being at peace was etched on his face.


Zanji's Violin song

Zanji smirked and had slowly enveloped himself in the song. His mind racing back to distant memories of his father. For he had never known his mother since fate was so cruel to take her after he was birthed. He remembered how his father would sing him the lullabye his mother and his father had composed for him when he was still within his mother. It made him also think of home he wondered if his hometown was doing alright. He had caused quite a bit of a ruckus last time he visited. He smirked coyly at the memory. Well it was a bit of a understatement at slight incident.

As his fingers tugged along the strings as his bow changed pitch to the higher notes of the finale of the song. As he finished he opened his eyes and a few people in the bar clapped for his performance. But one man came up to him and asked him where did he learn to play. He didnt catch the man in the face until it he was before him. he was taken aback for a moment. He blinked once... then twice dumbfounded. This was one of the seven warlords of the see asking him a question.

He was honored yet afraid at the same time. The seven warlords could do whatever they wanted practically they were yonkou. He pulled up a secondary chair and sat down at his own chair. GHe gestured towards the seat for the man to have a seat "Please sit down sir, Well I learned to play from quite a few different teachers but for the violin I learned too play that at my home town in east blue." He smiled as the waitress cam back with his drink and he took a long drag from it and set it on the table. He placed his violin back into its case delicately. "But I have a question for you, Whats a warlord of the sea doing in alabasta business or pleasure?"

You see it had been a very amazing day indeed. Having already delivered multiple slaves via ships towards the Wildlands, he felt that he needed to get himself a drink. "Damian 50 Slaves today. That was amazing. The high lords of Baltigo will be sure to praise your good work." said the Sandman as he would begin to walk towards his favorite bar. He would begin to get annoyed with himself as he would speak out saying "You know how I feel about that name idiot. Call me Ryuichi. Disrespect me again by calling me Damian and I'll kill you." Of course as he was walking down the streets, he would receive many looks from most of the pedestrians that heard him. You see, Ryuichi wasn't actually talking to another living being, but having a whole conversation with himself. So as people heard and saw him speaking it seemed to be quite weird. However, those that gave him looks would receive his death stare in return.

Having shut up the Sandman, Ryuichi would come to enter the bar and a sight was to behold. Well not a sight. More like hell had been relocated to his ears. He would begin to cringe as he heard the tone of the violin. "Who on earth is playing that horrid music." said Ryuichi as he found the culprit. A ugly man with brown hair. Ryuichi would slowly begin walking towards him as many of the people in the bar would begin to slowly move away from him. You see, every once in a while Ryuichi would come in this bar and bash a few heads on the tables out of pure fun. And who knows what he would do to a man that was playing music he didn't like.

As he moved towards the man, he would catch glimpse of white hair. A man with white hair surrounded by a pair of women. His left eye would jump as he remembered seeing that man before. A wanted poster hanging all over the island of Alabasta. A bounty of 300 Million. His heart would begin to race. No, not out of fear, but out of pure adrenaline. He had never met one before. A specimen that would sure be nice in his collection of heads back in his place on Baltigo. A huge grin would appear on his face as he would begin to walk in the direction of the White Haired Beauty. "A Warlord! My oh my! What are you doing here around my parts. We never get any action. Well besides that time that Yonko came to take the Treasure of Davy Jones, but that is old news. We haven't had any actions since then. So tell me, are you here to capture someone. Or maybe you are here to do a little fighting eh?" said Ryuichi as he got into a boxer pose and had begun to punch the air.

Of course he was intrigued by the man. He could get a hefty load just by delivering a finger to the Dread Doctors. The voice in his mind would begin to speak. Like Ryuichi it was laughing as well and was sending Ryuichi images of him lying in a pile of Gold Coins. In the real world saliva would begin to stream down the corner of Ryuichi's mouth as he thought of what was to come.

He smirked as he watched the warlord say he was just merely here for pleasure. a honest answer as much as he could tell from the man. Yet he felt like there was more to it especially when it came to when he laughed. He gently rubbed his right hand around his gold chain a small habbit he had picked up when he was somewhat nervous around new people. He looked about at the steadily growing group of people beginning to circle around them. He was not much for crowds but he probably guessed that they all wanted to get a gander at the shichibukai.

It was a rare sight however he then heard a voice that irked him as he heard them spill out the words "Who on earth is playing that horrid music." His normally calm and friendly demeanor quickly changed. A vein popped up in anger  his face contorted into a scowl. His hands clenched tightly. The vein pulsated more and more as rage filled his entire being. He quickly pulled out his trusty custom made pistol and cocked the handle back and pointed it straight at the mans head. "You want to repeat what you just said about my music friend?" In his eyes he had murdered inscribed in them. No one and I mean no one disrespects his music and hopes to walk away unscathed.

However he would remain intangible upon and sort of physical contact from a outside force of his body especially physical touch from a person. He may be royally pissed but he was not completely driven in by his anger just yet. However he saw another man approaching his table 'oh great who's this fucker?' He really couldn't of missed him if he had even tried he was freaking ten feet tall. Oh at this moment he would love to just blow this mans brains out all over the pavement but he showed restraint as he was unsure if the man was a friend or not of the warlord.

The first mistake was asking Ryuichi if he wanted to repeat what he had said. The second mistake was pointing a gun towards his head and seeing as the violin player was only 6ft away from him to his front, he had taken it as quite the threat. Seeing as the man was directly in front of him it wasn't quite the joke. And finally the third mistake was the Shichibukai issuing a Battle Royale. You see Ryuichi had just captured at least fifty pirates and sent them aboard his slave ship to be headed to the island of Baltigo. This was easily another excuse for him to capture more without anyone noticing and it wasn't only capturing that he was going to do this time. The gun being pointed at him had ticked him off to the point where he was ready to destroy the whole town if he had to, however he was looking to see what the Shichibukai actually had in store. It wasn't everyday Alabasta was graced with filth as such.

Ryuichi was hyper to say the least. He wasn't looking for a fight. No, he was looking for only death. Being humiliated in front of the whole of Alabasta had ticked him off. Upon hearing the ending of the Shichibukai's sentence, he would begin to react. With the violin player facing him, he would initiate his skill before the man could even realize what was about to happen. Instantly as his skill was initiated the area directly in front of Ryuichi, 12 inches in front of his feet would disappear as if it had been destroyed by which in reality it had been destroyed by the likes of him absorbing the moisture or liquid as most would call it from the wooden floor. The area that was affected was 20 meters in diameter, meaning that it had also destroyed a large portion of the street. Unfortunately anyone that was inside the 20 meters of the skill would begin to plummet down into a hole like structure which was 20 meters deep. And seeing as the dining area in which they were located in was outside connected to the building as well as 5 meters in size as it stretched onto the street, 20 meters of the street would also be instantly destroyed.

Upon the destruction of the area Ryuichi would act as if he was about to be stumbling in the hole. His next message was to be directed at the shichibukai as he looked into the hole while keeping those on the left and right of him in his peripheral vision. Seeing the Shichibukai as well begin to fall into the hole, he would begin to say some hilarious things.

"Boy did you see that?! I wonder who has the ability to do something like that. Mr. Shichibukai I hope you can fly or something.?! It seems like someone really wants to 500,000,000 Beri!"

Of course no one should even assume that it was him who had initiated the attack as he had only been looking at Zanji in reality. He was a man with no bounty and he didn't want any. He liked to be low key with everything that he did and would rather no one even know his name. Besides those who did trades with the Underworld. Still keeping his senses up, he would dare for anyone to attack him. Logia intangibility was a bitch.

From the left, right, and front of the patio he could hear the horrific screams coming from those on the plaza or should he say those who were falling to there depths who were on the plaza. Those were pretty much the only sounds that anyone near the city could hear, unless another sound erupted which would alert Ryuichi. Now screaming downwards into the hole Ryuichi would say "Sorry Mr. Shichibukai, but it seems like your Battle Royale has been confined to a 20 meter width hole." Said Ryuichi as he would still look inside the hole, while also moving his eyes here in there just in case a lucky pirate didn't fall into the hole and try to sneak him. He was deciding whether to jump in and begin collecting humans or stay on the edge of glory and watch the action go down. He could however take some people to the jails seeing as he was beginning to recognize some of them. The man who had held him at gun point seemed beyond familiar. He still wondered how those with broken legs and arms would be able to crawl from out of the 20 meter high pit if they would choose to do so.

He nodded his head and was beginning to holster his pistol when suddenly the floor and the table went out from underneath him. He caught sight at a most particular situation it appears as if he had fallen into a sand pit. That was impossible they were outdoors on solid wood. 'Most peculiar indeed' He would  remain completely unharmed even from the  fall. However his anger was peaked and somebody was definitely going to get hurt. He growled Turned his lower half into flame and propelled himself upwards attempting to grab the warlords hand and pull him up as they were sitting next to each other at the time. His hand would attempt to grab the shichibukai and pull him up  keeping the flames away from him.

After all he was not going to harm a man such as that. oh no that would incur his wrath. Should the shichibukai take his hand he will be carried up and brought gently  up next to the ma he had earlier pointed a gun at. He would remain in his intangible state however his flames flickering off his back as they reformed. "actually Stede is worth 304,164,375 not five hundred million. Secondly Very rude for who ever did that pitfall." He had had enough of this already and he still hadn't even gotten his food yet, all he wanted was something to eat play a little music, But no someone had to go and bring out a ruckus. Everywhere he went there always seemed to be issues involving violence or attempted murder. He looked around and his pupils shrunk as a He sent out a Wave of his Conquers wrath with a 30 meter radius Excluding the warlord of the sea. Everyone within the vicinity would be rended unconscious civilians, partons, workers staff and all the gathered men that had surrounded them. Well the ones that had lived after that pit fall.

He was royally pissed and would watch as one by one the people would fall unconscious. He exhaled calmly and looked around. He had never used his conquers haki until now. It was his ace in the hole. "Lets not fight amongst ourselves now shall we gentlemen there's plenty of carnage to go around, However if you get in my way again or attack me i will kill you." The rage subsided however it was still there only caged he definitely needed a outlet for his anger, perhaps he will continue going on a rampage as the warlord had suggested. Five hundred million berri was a lot of money and he could get some great stuff with that. But where oh where to begin the onslaught perhaps start at the ports burn them down prevent civillians from escaping by sea his men could also just as well defend it.
