Meiji Shiranui Task:

OOC: This topic will also serve as our groups founding. I'll be setting up how the topic will role in my first IC post, the one after this. I don't have any does or don'ts I just wanted, anyone who join the topic, to get along and have fun. Also the two Pirates, Meji & Asure, don't kill them. I'll explain why IC.

The Sea Train would come to a complete stop, before it would reach it's destination. A Marine ship, battle ship, was what caused them to no longer move. Tenzen would tense up as this wasn't something he was aware of, not at all. Quickly he would stand to his feet. He wouldn't tell everyone to get ready for combat, as that wasn't needed. Tenzen was a Marine and Anubis was a Celestial Dragon, so they wouldn't be in any danger from this Marine vessel. Tenzen though just wanted to understand what was going on, as after they had stopped he glanced outside the window. The Marine ship wasn't the only one in this area, as there were many more. It didn't take any time at all for the Sea Train to be boarded. It would be swarmed with Marines in minutes, and they were on edge. You could just tell from their facial expressions, these men had seen some stuff. And that begged the question on what has happened here.

Due to Tenzen standing up one of the Marines would put his gun at him. "SIT DOWN!" The Marine would yell as he edged closer and closer with his rifle.

"Relax, I am a Marine." Tenzen would quickly state, to give the man some insurance.

"IF SO YOU WOULDN'T HAVE COME TO THIS PLACE VIA SEA TRAIN! THE SEA TRAIN HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO COME TO THE ISLAND OF DREAMS FOR THREE YEARS NOW!" He would exclaim, and that would shock Tenzen. But it would also put two and two together. As the man who sold them the tickets only did so because Anubis was a Celestial Dragon.

"We were given permission to use the Sea Train due to the Celestial Dragon Anubis White requesting it. That is why." Tenzen would say hopefully that would calm the Marine, but it wouldn't. And the Marine was about to fire, as he felt Tenzen was just lying more and more. But Tenzen would be saved.

"Halt! What he says is true, lower your weapon. " The man to say this was none other than Vice Admiral Cartie. As he had received word that a Celestial Dragon was heading here. "I'm sorry for the way you all where treated, after we search the ship we will take you onto one of our vessels and explain the situation." Cartie would tell Tenzen. It would take them around a hour to fully check the whole Sea Train, for anything contraband. They didn't find anything but there were around ten others that weren't with the Celestial Dragon's party. Those ten individuals would be taken to a completely different ship than the Celestial Dragon's party. As they would be interrogated on why they were coming here.  

Only a select few from the Celestial Dragons party would head to the main ship, Cartie's ship, to have a talk. Everyone else will be taken to another ship, that was recently taken from some pirates. Tenzen would be one of the people that went to Cartie's ship, Anubis was welcomed to come but didn't have to. As Tenzen was there because he was head of the Celestial Dragon's security.

"So what is the situation with this place? Why are your men on edge?" Tenzen would ask. They would have this talk on the deck of Cartie's ship.

"Three years ago we were set here to take care of some nuisances. But, due to a variety of things, that endeavor fell through and we are still on the hunt for him and his men. With jaya being annihilated a flood of pirates that escaped came here.  But that isn't the only problem we've had over the years. As the wave of carnage that Oceanus did in the Holy Land traveled all the way here, and we have a problem with Fishman also.

But that wasn't it as some dirty Revs have started to come out and sabotage our ships and bases. So we had to shut down the Sea Train so that not only more won't come, but so we can save others from coming here as well. This place has turned into a absolute hell, and recently Meji has shown up again, so there is also that. So we are on edge for good reason.

I tell you all of this so that you will turn back, and not put the Celestial Dragon in harms ways. As it seems their kind is being targeted, and I can't guarantee I can protect him. We are even trying to save a few located here." Carite would tell Tenzen. This was his way of having Tenzen heading somewhere else.

"I see." Tenzen would place his hands in his pockets and walk over to the side of the ship, and gaze outward. This place was the Island of Dreams, a place where dreams should come true. So Tenzen would get a idea, something he hadn't thought of before and that was change. He could change all of this for the better. Not just for the marines but anyone that wanted to come here. "I don't think we'd leave this place, even with hearing that. And I am a man that takes the safety of my Celestial Dragon seriously. But, I think I can help...no. I know that we can help." Tenzen would walk back over to Cartie.

"Leave Meji to me. You focus on the biggest threat we have presently. All I ask is that we can borrow any spare men you have. They don't have to be the best, anyone would do. But can we go somewhere private? So just you and I can talk more about this? " Tenzen would. Cartie would agree and they would head to quarters, his first mate would also come along.

What they would talk about is exactly how they would handle this. And also so that Tenzen can understand more about Meji, as well as the small details about what is going on here. They'd have their meeting for around thirty minutes before Tenzen would come out cheesing. The Celestial Dragon's party would be allowed to do as they pleased as long as Tenzen took care of Meji. Where they be taken to, as these talks was held on a marine vessel, would be the Island west of the main Island. There they would be a Marine base where they can gather supplies for their task. Those people not affiliated with the Celestial Dragon's party would be allowed to go to that same Island or head back to where they came via the Sea-train. Also a few Marines from the main ship would be allowed to join the Celestial Dragon's party, and also some that where at the base could join in as well. Tenzen would wait outside the base as he was ready for the adventure. He also was here so that if anyone had any questions for him, they could ask him.

A Marine lost his arm this day for angering a Celestial Dragon.  


"Hmm, it'll be a couple of hours before low tide." Tenzen would say to himself, as that is when they would move out. As when low tide comes this place will look more like a whole island, instead of three clustered ones. Well, this is what Tenzen was told by Vice Admiral Cartie. He was told many other things but those would be revealed later down the road when they are needed.

As he leaned against the side of the Building, he had many things going on around his mind. Mainly about how they would deal with him. As honestly speaking he isn't at fought that much, well for being this angry. As that was all the young man was, angry. Tenzen wanted to talk to him and sway him somehow, but that didn't mean he didn't want to fight Meji. Tenzen planned on fighting the boy to see if he truly is strong, and deserves a second chance.  

"I should stop talking as if i'm still an Old man." Tenzen would say as he would notice he was considering Meji a boy while at the same time his age was reverted back at least twenty years. So those two might even be the same age right now. Tenzen would stretch and move forward, stopping after taking four steps. The Marine Base on this island was located in the center of the Island, just so it is clarified. Tenzen would remove his katana from it's sheath and hold the broken blade up.

'Maybe I should stop playing around and live up to the title I was given.' Tenzen would say as he watch the sun hit this golden blade. This blade was nothing of any true value, to a Samurai. Vanity is all it was and Tenzen needed to not be involved with such things. He needed to ascend to a higher level.

"Why don't you fix it? Don't you have the other half?" Gearo would ask seemingly coming out of nowhere.

"Huh? Maybe someday." Tenzen would tell him.

Tenzen would begin to explain to Gearo what he would be needed to do. As the operation was about to begin shortly, Tenzen needed Gearo to be at his best. And for that to happen he would need to known the plan Tenzen had.

This was something that was going to need to be nipped in the butt right away. There was a reason that Marine was assigned to them. Tenzen would sheath his sword and begin to walk over, pushing through anyone that was in his way.

"You are no one's boss here." Tenzen would say to Gray, before he would turn his attention down to Miziro. Tenzen didn't want any Marine to come here and feel like they were out of place, or didn't belong. he wouldn't want that for anyone that he was going to have tag along with him. He had even promised this to Vice admiral Cartie.

"Private Limi, I'm glad you could join us. Say by my side at all times." Tenzen would tell her, as this was for her safety. He didn't want anyone picking on the low ranking Marine, as that could happen. Tenzen would then look around, this was everyone for right now. And if anyone else wanted to join them they'd have to catch up.

"Okay, so it seems everyone is here!" Tenzen would say speaking louder than he did when talking to Limi. As he wanted everyone our here to hear him. " WE MOVE OUT NOW! I WANT YOU AGENTS TO SURROUND ANUBIS, LIMI, AND I. GEARO WILL LEAD THE WAY WHILST GRAY WILL COVER OUR REAR.  SO GET IN FORMATION!"  Tenzen would say as he would up the intensity. These are the only people he will order around, as those are the only ones that need to be told what to do.

"Private Limi do you have anything you'd wish to ask me?" Tenzen would ask her, as everyone got into formation. Due to their location they would be able to arrive to the spot Meji was last known to be in a couple of hours. That is though if they didn't meet any resistance before then. Tenzen wanted to asked Limi many questions as to get her point of view of things going on, but he would just ask a few at a time to not overwhelm her.

"Yes, Anubis the the Celestial Dragon. He is also a Mink like you. So that makes you the second Mink I've met as well as the Second Mink within this little group of ours." Tenzen would say in response to Limi's question. He would place his hands in his pockets and whistle, as all the agents had gotten in position. They all would begin to move forward, following the direction of Gearo. To reiterate the group was starting out at the marine base, which was located in the center of the West Island. And the group was going to head to somewhere in the middle once low tide would hit. When low tide would come it would reveal the west Island, the one they are on, and the other three Island are all connected and are truly just one big Island. That is why this place is considered just one large land mass. During low tide is when they would attack Meji's base head on.

As the group moved they would make it to a small village, and Tenzen began to get a bad feeling about this. As no one was outside as they walked, and this place shouldn't be deserted. With a Marine base so close by it should feel like a safe haven to people. And just agents walking through shouldn't or wouldn't cause them to panic. But this place seemed like it was just off. And added to that Anubis, who was usually barking orders, hadn't said anything at all in awhile. This was a bad sign, but he wasn't the only one to notice this. As Gearo would call everyone to a complete stop.

"Private Limi, get on guard. " Tenzen would say as he would stop walking. Tenzen was told by Vice Admiral Cartie that Meji had someone with them that proved to be extremely troublesome. A powerful Devil fruit user that somehow found out about their plans when they were close to capturing Meji. Then a massive explosion would occur behind the group, but it was unknown on how many people where injured due to it. It wasn't massive enough though to harm anyone in the middle of the group, but they may feel the shock wave. And then it would happen. This place would be full of life as Meji's men would charge from the front and begin to engage in combat with Gearo and those station in the front. This wasn't the ideal spot for either force. The width of the street was around 6.1 meters and the length, starting from the explosion point and the combat was thirty meters.

On the buildings to the right side of Anubis, Limi, and Tenzen two rife men would move up. And they would aim their rifles down and fire, but they wouldn't shot those three. They could've but didn't, as they didn't know their importance. They would shot two agents right in front of them. They didn't look tough nor the best shot, but shouldn't be left alone. As they could fire down and hit anyone. As the Celestial Dragon's group was like fish in a barrel right now. So someone would need to get up there and take them out.

Tenzen was scanning around wondering where the shooters where, and finally he would find them. They were on top of a building just to the side of them, but before Tenzen would act they would fire. And he knew, by chance, where the bullet was headed. So, he would throw himself in from of it, as that is all he could do at that moment. One of the Agents had fired at Agents whilst the other, by chance, had fired at Anubis. But thanks to Tenzen he would be the only one to take the bullet, he though wouldn't die from this. But once he was shot he fell down on his back. At the same time this happened Anubis tried his action against Limi, that would stop here unless she moved forward on her own. Tenzen taking the bullet wasn't dependent on what happened between them.

That wouldn't be the worse thing to happen though as the building, which the shooter were on, would have men armed with swords or other bladed weapons rushing out, ten in total. They wouldn't take long to cut through Agents in their wake, and they would take no time to get to the middle of the group. But this wouldn't be the only group coming out. As the same number of enemies would come out from the building on the other side.

Everyone was going to have to fight, there was no way around it. Though the current amount of enemies wasn't overwhelming how they were attacking proved to give them the advantage. Tenzen would rise to his feet, as he held his wound with his left hand. It was bleeding bad as it stained his clothes. "Seems we are in a bad situation."

In the front where Gearo was( I'll allow you to control him Anubis). Someone began to make their way over. He being behind all of the forced that came from the front. Who this man was with his Observation Haki up was one of Meji's top men. The brightest person within the Island of Dreams at this moment Asura was the man behind this attack. What he was doing was attacking this force, as he was able to get the leaked information, so that Meji won't be in danger. Strike them before they strike us was his plan if you want it simply.
